Rock On!! Page #5

We're meeting today.

One o'clock, at Uncle Khursheed's cafe

Life doesn't give everyone a second chance

One o'clock.

See you there

Clean up table number two.

- All right

Uncle Khursheed...

Recognise me?

No

One tea, please

Dilip, one tea

Thank you

Did Adi have to be late today of all days?

There

Sorry I'm late, guys

Come on... only two minutes left

Breathe, man

Don't forget to tell them about Debbie

Don't forget man, it's really important

I won't forget, Joe

Please! Don't make me more nervous.

Come on

Okay

So how do you feel?

We're confident. Just show us

the way to the recording studio

We won't let you down

Look kids... just recording the music

doesn't make it a hit

Musicmust cater to publictaste

But... you liked our music, didn't you?

It's good...

But could be better...

much, much, much better

Apopular number

I'll get it from you, of course

October to January is

the wedding season, right?

Let's take a hit wedding song...

and do a rock remix

But...

a wedding remix in a rock album...?

Why... is it against the law to do that?

Everything goes

The main thing is,

the album should be a hit

We'll take the slow song out...

it won't work

You know, the one which goes,

"If you're there, I'm here or not here... "

It's the only soft, romantic ballad

that gives our album some depth

Nowadays this doesn't sell, kid

Tempo... give me tempo

Today's youth want songs with tempo,

bubbly stuff

If you agree with what I'm saying...

here's the contract

You see boys...

in life, one needs to make some compromises

Seven out of eight songs

are of your choice

And one...

that I want

Besides, there's no dearth of

talent in the market

Well done. Congratulations

Another thing. We have a friend, Debbie.

She does costumes and styling

We were hoping, you could use her

for our music video

Relax! Now you're the

responsibility of this company

Forget all these people

At least meet her once

You get to work in the recording studio

and let us do our work

I feel terrible about Joe's song being rejected

It's not just about my song

We're a band

It's our debut album

To push a stupid remix into it...

I think we're making a very big compromise

In that case, we shouldn't have signed

But now that we have,

there's really no point in talking about it

He's right, Joe

If we hadn't done it,

someone else would have

Sure

I'm so sorry about your song, Joe.

- No. I'm sorry, Debbie

They won't let you do the styling

They say, they already have someone

But they haven't even seen her work!

Come on, guys

Seven out of eight songs selected.

It's not that bad

Unfortunately, we need them now

Once this album is a hit,

we'll be free to do whatever we want

You're about to record your first album.

What more do we want?

Yeah, I guess so

Cut... cut

Joe

Sweetheart, it leaves me cold

Do something, darling

Darling?

So why don't you tell me what to play.

I'll do as you say

Go on

Joe... just do your thing

... just play your solo

Yeah, sure

Mr Sukhani...

have you worked on a lot of albums?

Boss, I tell you...

the Subhash Ghai film Karz,

starring Rishi Kapoor...

Track in... track in

Cut

All of you, out

Now, Aditya's close ups

Your shot's done?

But you just went in...

Oh...

Aditya's close ups again

God, this is really boring

We look like clowns in these clothes.

Why couldn't they let you style us?

And this director...

keeps asking me to jump

If I keep jumping,

when will I play the keyboards?

Aditya, take a break.

- Okay

Thanks

What's the matter?

You'd see what the matter is Aditya...

if you'd only take off your rockstar shades

What?

What... maybe you didn't notice?

The director's focusing only on you

The three of us are in the background,

like sidekicks

Joe, relax

That too in these costumes.

Do we look like a rock band?

Do you think I'm happy in these clothes?

Drop it, Joe

Aditya is our lead singer

he has to be the focus

Please, Rob!

Whatever's happening here, isn't right

No one takes over in Magik!

Remember? Your words

One chance at getting famous

and you forget all your principles

Relax guys, relax. Please relax

Let's talk in the make-up room.

Come on, please

I don't believe this

You think I knew this would happen

when we signed the contract?

But I'm a professional, Joe.

Maybe you should try to be one

Don't give me

that professional sh*t, Aditya

You've sold out

That director was treating us so badly.

Did you stop him even once?

Hello... what's going on here?

This studio doesn't come for free

We need a short break.

We've got something to discuss

Discussions later, darling.

The shoot is held up

Come on guys.

- Please go away

I said, please go away

Darling

Keep this attitude of yours at home

You signed a contract,

you'll do as I say

Got it? Come on, darling

Joe! Have you gone mad?

Joe! What the hell is wrong with you?

Blood! It's blood!

Get lost!

I don't want to know!

Damn your album!

Magik is finished!

Pack up!

I'll make sure you're finished!

I am Sukhani!

To hell with your contract...

I quit

Joe

Wow, man

After all these years...

nothing's changed here.

- It's been a long time

Joe?

You're here after ages!

All okay?

- Fine, Uncle Khursheed. How are you?

I'm great, perfect

Atea, please.

- Sure

What a sharp memory.

So long, and he still hasn't forgotten

It's the guitar.

You carry it everywhere

So it stays in the mind

Maybe

Are they coming?

Bloody hell, man

Hello, guys

Your jeep is still alive?

- Of course. Together, in life and death!

Oh god, please

Was that too much?

When did you get here?

- Ten minutes ago

Where's Adi? Should I call him?

No, KD

He'll come if he wants to

I don't really understand what happened

Everything was perfect and then suddenly,

it just all went wrong?

Perhaps you never noticed

that something was troubling her?

Notice what?

What does she have to

complain about me?

For four years, we've shared everything

... what more can I do?

Lots

Please don't mind, Aditya...

You may have been sharing a home

But you aren't sharing your lives

Sakshi still feels that you're a stranger

about whom she knows nothing

And her feelings got stronger

when she discovered those photographs

Damn those photos and damn that band

It's been ten years

When will it stop chasing me?

When you stop running

I guess we should go

Did you really think he'd come?

Shall we try something?

Sure

Shall we begin?

One of my laundry bills...

An unflnished novel...

Agirl's phone number...

A useful piece of paper...

In my deck,

a king of hearts

And one of my silver rings...

When I... this last...

No

The right pitch is two notes higher

Is that so?

Why don't you show us?

One of my laundry bills...

An unflnished novel...

Agirl's phone number...

A useful piece of paper...

In my deck, a king of hearts...

And one of my silver rings...

When I look at

what I lost this last week

Somedays I laughed at myself
