Raanjhanaa Page #7

Synopsis: The pundit's son Kundan (Dhanush) has fallen for the girl at first sight. That they're both kids makes us dismiss it as a meaningless crush. But a few years later, the boy is still in love with the girl, Zoya (Sonam Kapoor). When she's in school, he follows her around holding her hand and getting slapped in the process. Finally, she relents because of his "consistency". The film shifts cities when Zoya gets into JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University), and through her, we are introduced to the idealistic and political culture of the place. She discovers a long-lost strength as she confronts and then falls for student leader Akram (Abhay Deol). The film takes a turn when Zoya returns to her hometown after eight long years only to find some things changed, and others surprisingly the same.

"You will see your beloved."

"You will see your beloved."

"The one you're searching for,

dwells in your heart."

"There's a sea inside you,

stop looking for droplets."

"Clear all your doubts."

"Clear all your doubts."

"Lift the veil."

"Beloved."

"You will see your beloved."

"You will see your beloved."

Go away.

"You will see your beloved."

"You will see your beloved."

"The one you're searching for,

dwells in your heart."

"There's a sea inside you,

stop looking for droplets."

Bring it, dear. Baba will bless you.

Hey. Priest. Leave.

Go on. Go.

You know, many of

the sages here are cheats.

Castouts.

Bloody criminals.

Murderer, rapists.

They just dawn the saffron color...

...and mingle along with the real ones.

Whom did you kill?

I can see it on your face.

No faith in this world

can pardon a murderer.

Go. Do something.

Don't know what?

But, you won't get salvation

at the banks of Ganges.

Hello. - Murari.

Where are you?

I've been thinking about you.

Is Zoya in Beneras?

- In Beneras? Is she?

That's exactly what

I'm asking. Is she?

Rascal, you eloped with her.

Do you know the chaos it led to?

What are you doing?

Where are you?

And, where's Zoya?

"Seeking him. Feeling him."

"Either its you, or its him."

"Seeking him. Feeling him."

"Either its you, or its him."

"Without him, everything's vain."

"You will see your beloved."

"You will see your beloved."

"You will see your beloved."

"You will see your beloved."

People look, stare at you.

Humiliate you with their stare.

Disrobe you.

And say "We're just looking".

They whistle, sing songs...

...and tell their friends about it,

show-off that they're men.

And say, "We were just looking,

it's not a crime".

"Are you alive?"

"Are you alive?"

"Are you alive?"

"Are you alive?"

"Are you alive?"

"Are you alive?"

"Are you alive?"

Is everyone here?

Zoya, let's go.

- Yes, drive this vehicle.

What's wrong? - Just a second.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Hey. - Hey.

We had to wrestle the management...

...to install that pipe.

Don't break it.

Who are you? What're you doing?

And, why are you climbing up the pipe?

I...am a thief.

I was here to steal.

Why don't we turn him in?

That will mean we believe in

this administration system.

I know, it's a completely ruthless...

...and a politically aggressive system.

Correct.

And, we should be against it.

He's a victim of this system as well.

Samosa (Fritters). - Huh!

Two Samosas.

Samosa?

Chotu. Samosas.

Two.

So, we need to understand...

...why would anyone become a thief.

Why did you become one?

Because...I'm poor.

Water... - Huh!

Tea...

Poverty is a result

of over-population.

Don't simplify things.

Over-population is a result

of lack of education.

But, lower-classes

don't have resources...

...to educate their children.

No, no. One minute.

Even the educated youth

in this country...

...are suffering from unemployment.

I agree. - No. I am sorry.

Becoming a thief cannot be justified.

- She is also right.

He's asleep.

Bro. Bro.

We know why you became a thief.

- Why?

Because you're poor.

- And you don't have a job. Right?

Yes.

I'm poor, and I don't have a job.

Kundan, get a cup of tea.

Give me a cold drink.

Go ahead, I'll be right with you.

What now?

I'd rather work myself to death here,

than die of guilt.

And, I don't know why I'm here.

Let me stay here. Please.

Nothing's changed.

Jasjeet's

'All India Citizen's Party'...

...will still run in

the upcoming elections.

His hard work can't go to waste.

I nominate Zoya as the new leader.

Those who agree, raise your hands.

So, we need to decide what's next.

We should do something...

...about the 'Bhatta Parsal' scam.

Around 4000 farmers

are losing their lands.

Only to put up a factory.

The media must be present as well.

We can gain a lot

of political mileage.

Fine. Let's meet here

tomorrow at 11am.

The girl's got the spark.

We'll teach her the rest.

These are the basic things in politics.

Zoya. - I don't care a damn

if he lives or dies.

There's nothing to discuss

about him, Rashmi.

There's much left to do,

and he doesn't exist for me

Come on, give the tea.

"Don't look at me... like that."

"Don't look at me... like that."

"Like you never saw me before."

"Like you never saw me before."

He'll never learn.

Where are you going? Stop Kundan.

"Don't look at me... like that."

"Don't look at me... like that."

Load all the flags.

Anand.

Take me along.

- What will you possibly do, Kundan?

Lend a helping hand.

Or, serve you all tea.

- Climb on.

Come on. Who else?

Stand straight.

Don't let anyone come this side.

Be ready.

Shoot anyone you see. Get that.

No one... Stand straight.

We're ready to talk.

Let us talk to your headman.

The government will talk to you.

- You stay here.

Who are you?

- What about th extra forces?

We want to meet the farmers?

Farmers? Who are you?

Get lost! - You cannot stop us.

Our party's running for

elections this year.

We're here to meet the people

of our constituency.

Ma'am.

They've kidnapped a PSE soldier.

And, they shot at

the DM's leg yesterday.

If they don't return that soldier,

they'll be shot.

You've an excuse to shoot them.

It's a golden opportunity

for this corrupt government...

...to take away their lands.

You're raising your voice

at the wrong place.

Get that. SP sir has arrived.

Come on. Get lost.

What's the position?

- The position's really bad.

Sir, we've seized the entire area.

Look. I give you five minutes...

The farmers were wrong.

They just gave the government...

...an excuse to shoot them.

They'll just target the

main leaders and kill them.

And the government will say...

..."We were only trying

to save the PSE soldier".

The people will blame the farmers.

We'll have to talk to the SP.

Anant. - Yeah!

Talk to the media. Tell them about

the situation going on here.

...we'll have to take harsh action.

Sir, we know what you're

trying to do here.

We tried talking to them sir,

but they aren't listening, sir.

Sir, excuse me sir!

I know you must be

following your seniors orders...

...but, you cannot do this.

Actually, I can do anything I want.

I can have you all arrested.

Don't do this. Behave yourself.

- Move back.

Please don't do this.

- Let us talk to them

This is the last warning for you.

- Move aside.

Sir, sir!

Let us go inside. - Sir!

Please, sir.

Okay. Stop! Stop!

Hey, quiet!

Thank you.

Kundan, be careful.

Bravo

Bro, What?

What did you tell the farmers?

Nothing.

I said "So you shot the DM,

that's alright."

"But this soldier's a poor man."

"His father's a farmer like you."

"If he dies, his mother

will curse all of you."

"And, you'll be ruined."

"Your rivers will run dry."

"Then you can keep your lands."

That's all.

That scared them, and they let him go.

How do you come up with such things?

I'm a Pandit!

This is how I've been

living in Beneras for years.

You're a rascal. - Top class.
