Rock On!! Page #4

Synopsis: Sakshi Shroff, the lonely and neglected wife of busy banking executive, Aditya, decides to give him a surprise on his birthday on July 22nd, but ends surprising him not once but multiple times. While Aditya is thrilled to know that both are going to be parents, and did appear surprised by the celebration, bitterness creeps in when he notices that Sakshi had also invited some ghosts (Rob Nancy and Kedar Zaveri) from his past. This gives rise to unpleasant memories involving a failed music group 'Magik' that he had associated with about a decade ago. Sakshi will soon find out why Aditya is displeased with her; why the music group broke up, ending in violence and acrimony especially between her husband and his former friend, Joseph Mascarenhas; why they cannot perform together ever again; as well as contemplate moving out and living with her mom.

Being with them was

always bad for you

Last time, you got hurt

God knows what they want now!

Nobody hurt me

I was the one who quit

You're defending them now?

So they call and you go,

tail wagging?

Is that right?

No, Debbie

I'll wear a collar and

stay right by you

What?

What did you say?

Nothing

You think that I...?

Fine! Sorry

Do whatever you want

Go to hell

Listen, you better tell the musiccompany

that I'm styling Magik's video

Or you'll end up wearing

these shorts and a T-shirt

What's wrong with my shorts?

Showing my legs only adds

to the sex appeal of the video

This is it, Joe

This is our big break

Our lottery ticket to the future

Now we have to get the right numbers

Love you, baby

When you're around...

I feel like...

I've found every joy

When you're gone...

it feels like...

every joy has faded

You're the one...

my life needs

Damn Joe!

You're a poet

and we didn't even know it

It's a great tune

He's right, Joe

We need another song for the album

and I think we've found it

Yes, Adi?

I want to dedicate it to Debbie

Yeah... yeah

It'll be your wedding anthem

When it's played in church,

all will rise

Good one, Joe.

- Thanks, Rob

Tell me seriously,

what do you think of the song?

It's fantastic, Joe

Fantastic

Really?

And when you sing it in your style,

it'll be even better

I just know it, man

Thanks, brother

Adi...

when we meet the musiccompany guys,

make sure you tell them

about Debbie styling our music video

You could tell them yourself

Yeah, but she's my girlfriend and...

it'll be a little odd

You'll tell them, won't you?

Of course, I will

You're the best, buddy

It's going to rock!

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Aditya,

happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, Aditya

Here's your gift

Thanks

Surprised?

- Yes... very

There's another surprise for you

Hello

Surprise!

Happy birthday, Aditya

Good to see you.

- Happy birthday, Aditya

We're not ghosts

Why don't you guys get some drinks?

I'll join you

Just... take care of them

Thanks for coming.

I'm glad you came

Aditya is happy too, of course

He's forever busy with work

I hope you're fine?

Yes, we're good

Your drink...?

- I'm fine, thank you

Okay... just excuse me

Oh hi! How are you?

Great. How are you?

- Well, thank you

I hope you're enjoying yourself.

- Thank you very much. Lovely

I hope you're enjoying yourself.

- Of course

If you don't mind,

could I take him away for a minute?

No!

Absolutely... of course, you can.

- I'll be right back

Your friends are getting bored

What do I do?

We have other guests as well

What?

All right, I'm going

Hi

When did you pick up this habit?

Well...

Cigarettes are rotten for your voice

What does my voice have to do

with investment banking?

Remember losing your voice

before a show once, in college...

and Debbie forcing you to drink

that re-mixed herbal tonic

I'll never forget your face

Whatever it was, it was effective

She also gave you some medicine

to improve memory, didn't she?

Didn't help, did it?

What do you mean?

I still remember, she was the one

Hi...

- Hello

Is everything okay?

Yes

Joe didn't come?

- Must be on his way...

Why don't you call him and

check where he is?

Oh! That's mom!

I'll just be back

Obviously, Sakshi doesn't know

much about Magik

Never felt the need to tell her

Really, man...

sometimes, it feels as if

it all happened in another lifetime...

and sometimes as if, just yesterday

Why don't we get together again

at our old rehearsal pad?

Sounds like a great idea

Tomorrow's Sunday.

Let's do it

But first, we'll meet at Army Cafe

What do you say, Aditya?

Come off it

Come on, Aditya

One o'clock?

You guys are crazy

Come on. Rob, you, me...

even Joe wll turn up

The four of us, together again

Making music, man

Why do we need four?

Even two or three can jam together

But it won't be Magik

I wish your friend Joe had come

How did you like meeting your friends?

Sakshi, you shouldn't have invited them

Why?

Why did you tell me that

you didn't know them?

Because I don't know them anymore

We have drifted apart

You saw it too...

how uncomfortable they were

They were our guests

And guests feel as comfortable

as we make them

I felt you were the uncomfortable one

Why are you getting involved

in these things?

Just let it be

Look...

Isn't that you?

I thought that if you met your friends again,

you'd feel good

Maybe, it would bring back this smile

Why are you spying?

Spying?

I want to see you happy

By going through my things?

Stop it! What's come over you?

Look at yourself! What you were,

what you've become?

In ten years, people change

I'm not the Aditya you see

in these pictures

You're right...

the man in these pictures is happy

I'm happy even today

What is wrong with you?

If you're happy,

then why don't I feel it?

Why does it feel like you're

living a mechanical life?

Now you have a problem with my life?

Not I.

You have a problem with your life

That's why you keep me at a distance

Let me in, Aditya

Why do you feel so bad about

me seeing these pictures?

I think you're over-reacting

These pictures mean nothing

Then why have you kept them

so carefully?

You could have thrown them away

or burnt them

Is that it?

Destroy them.

Makes no difference to me

I cut these ties a long time ago

Maybe you lost a lot

when you cut these ties?

Have you thought of that?

- What have I lost?

Only you know that

If something's disturbing you...

Damn it, Sakshi!

Think what you want

Ten years ago, I chose this life

Yes, I made some compromises...

but who doesn't?

Am I one of the compromises in your life?

Is our marriage also a compromise?

That's not what I meant...

- That's exactly what it is, Aditya

Don't you see, you're angry with yourself

And your anger is hurting our relationship

I want to be a part of your life

But how is it possible when

you're living only half a life!

I see

And to make my life complete,

you invited them here?

I made a mistake

I thought you'd be happy

to meet your friends

And then I was going to tell you

that you're going to be a father

What?

Yes Aditya. But what a pity...

Now I don't even know,

if hearing this makes you happy or not

Sakshi...

Sakshi...?

"I'm going to Mum's house. "

"I need time to think. "

Hello, Nana

I knew I'd find you here

Why didn't you come yesterday?

You know why

No Joe, I don't know

Look, whatever happened ten years ago

affected all our lives

The difference is, KD and I accepted it

But you couldn't

And guess what, nor has Aditya

Success, failure...

these things come and go

We got together to fulfill our dream,

our passion to create music

But you forgot that

Being successful was most important for you

Isn't success important?

Don't you see that your success

lay in Magik's success?

Lmagine, where we'd all be today

if all that hadn't happened

What do you want from me?

What can I do now?
