Road, Movie

Vishnu, Smell this.

This is your future.

A drop of Atma Hair potion...

Your hair springs into motion,

Everything else is an illusion.

Vishnu, easy!

The future is in dandruff.

The future is hair loss.

The future is dry scalps.

The future is now.

We need to embrace it.

With new ideas... and new products.

Like the Chinese.

Forget about the past.

The past was another country.

That lndia is dead.

l hereby inaugurate...

the 7th annual convention...

for beauty products and cosmetics.

Welcome, everyone!

Vishnu, l have an idea.

Let's sell two bottles

for the price of one.

You know what?

Make it three for one!

We'll sell it to college kids.

lt's cool!

lt relaxes the mind.

Makes you virile.

Prevents hair loss.

The perfect antidote to aging.

Anything is possible

with Atma Hair Oil!

Don't forget our mantra...

Heart to Heart...

Door to Door.

Your hair oil, Uncle.

Where are you going?

The Samudrabad Museum.

Why don't you get a driver?

l'm not that old.

l miss driving this truck.

The open road.

Stopping for bitter tea.

The cool breeze at night.

lt's a very old truck.

Why don't you junk it?

What do you know?

lt's a 1942 Chevy.

l put in two ltalian

Victoria projectors,

turned it into a traveling cinema.

Wide screen... Great sound.

The ultimate mobile theater.

Can l deliver this truck for you?

Trust me, l can do it.

Stay and help your father.

He needs you.

Focus on that.

l don't want to

sell hair oil anymore.

Stop!

Don't make fun of tradition.

They're as much yours as mine.

l don't know how long

he'll be gone.

Don't be dramatic.

lt's only six days, Ma.

Bite your tongue.

Here are twelve bottles of water.

Conserve it!

What are you doing?

Everyone's gone mad.

Hey, Vishnu!

lf you can't sell

hair oil on the road...

mark my word, you won't be

able sell water in a desert.

Give me the keys.

Put the oil in the back.

Remember, what we say?

A drop of Atma Hair potion...

your hair springs into motion...

Everything else is an illusion!

Drive carefully or

the bottles will break!

What can l get you, Driver?

Tea, biscuits, lunch.

l'm not a driver.

Wasn't that you driving?

What should l call you then?

Doctor?

Get me tea.

Got any cookies? Got Glucose?

Tiger. Better than Glucose.

lt's sweeter...

and cheaper too. Driver!

lt's my truck.

You're still a driver, aren't you?

What did you expect, Starbucks?

Don't stop because of me.

Don't tell me what to do. Piss off.

Can l get a ride to town?

l'm not going there.

l want to get out of here.

Didn't you hear me?

l'm not going there.

l'm looking for another job.

Any smart ass stuff,

l'll throw you out.

From the moving truck. Got it?

Yes, l get it.

Promise.

lt stinks!

Out, out.

What kind of truck is this?

l can walk faster.

Why don't you drive a Toyota?

Can't afford one?

lt's all your fault.

l should never have

stopped at your tea shop.

Blame the truck, not me.

lt should be in a museum,

not on the road.

Oh yeah?

And how do you plan to

get out of here... Fly?

Go get someone to fix this.

Or it's back to your Starbucks.

Hey! Boy!

Driver. Wake up.

l found him.

Wake up.

l found him.

Who?

- Mechanic.

You're a mechanic?

What do you know about trucks?

lt's old, huh.

Where did you find this guy?

lt was tough. Don't ask.

He said he could fix it.

You grabbed the

first person you saw.

Alright!

Just fix this piece of junk.

l've lost half a day already.

Open the hood.

Told you it's old.

They don't make them

like this anymore.

What would you know?

Get me two wires, now!

What are you looking at?

Under the seat.

What are you staring at?

Give me a hand.

Hey, this isn't a bus service!

The kid and l have a deal.

l fix your truck...

you drop me at the fair.

What fair? l'm not

driving to any fair.

Coat. Bag. Cap.

Hit the clutch firmly.

Now the gas.

Easy...

Keep it running.

Now slowly ease off.

Don't worry. l don't bite.

They're searching for water.

They walk for days

until they find it.

You think you're

the king of the road?

Papers? License?

ls this a truck or a motorcycle?

- Truck.

This license is for a motorcycle.

Papers! For the Truck.

Officer! -Papers...?

lt's a piece of junk.

l barely got it running.

Does this old jalopy

really need papers?

lt's my duty to check

every suspicious vehicle...

that travels through

my jurisdiction.

This... Suspicious?

We got word that...

Veeru the Waterlord is smuggling...

large quantities of

water on this road.

You've got to be joking.

You think a Waterlord...

would use this truck?

Open the back.

Come on...

What's all this?

Stolen?

Does he look like a thief?

Never mind. Aren't there

other people to stop today?

Then what's this?

You clever bastard!

So that's what you're up to.

You know what that is?

lt's scrap.

lt's been lying in a garage.

lt's not scrap.

lt's a bloody cinema on wheels.

A traveling cinema!

Are you going to show movies?

Got a license for that?

l've got a long journey.

lt's just junk.

l'm helping out a friend.

You don't have a license.

No papers.

Everything inside is stolen.

And you're

transporting film in the open.

lf it caught fire?

And this kid? You're

trafficking children?

Follow me.

Got any porn?

Yes, yes, sir.

Horror, Thriller...

Romance, Comedy, Tragedy.

Loads of them in the truck.

Tell the villagers we're

showing a film tonight.

And if it's boring...

hang the three.

Are you crazy?

You want to get us killed?

Stand up! ldiot!

Your plan's not going to work.

Do you have another plan?

l've lost an entire day.

Where are you going, anyway?

Fine. Don't tell me.

Rot here forever!

lt's your truck...

do what you want.

l'm out of here.

Hey, are you coming?

Or do you want

a lashing from the cop?

Samudrabad.

The city by the sea.

Do you know the way?

l'll pay you.

Stop fighting!

Get this thing going.

You don't think l can do it?

Ah, got it.

lt goes from here...

through this...

You've done this before?

l've seen it at the fair.

So what's with

the city by the sea?

l'm helping a friend.

Friend?

Help?

You?

Bloody cops. They're thieves.

Let's show them the

worst movie we've got.

That's foolish.

Don't you remember the

story of Scheherazade?

Once upon a time... a King

questioned his Queen's fidelity.

He was so angry with

his Queen that he...

He married a new Queen everyday...

and the next morning he would...

After killing

three thousand Queens...

it was Scheherazade's turn.

We need one more thing...

- What?

So you know what

Scheherazade did?

She began telling

the King a story...

a never-ending story...

Look outside.

Steal? - Hey, kid...

We're in a police station.

Let's do what the

cops do every day.

Come on.

Go. Hook them up.

Hurry up!

The King would stay

awake all night...

captivated by Scheherazade's story.

Be careful, it's a live wire!

You'll get a shock!

He kept Scheherazade alive...

so that he could hear

her tale every night.

What happened?

How did it get stuck?
