Saathiya Page #7

Synopsis: Running away from home can't keep a couple together. A signed paper can't keep a couple together. Love can. While for most Love Stories, marriage is the "goal", the fact remains that marriage is just the beginning. Saathiya continues on, from where most love stories end. From the infatuation stage "when a couple thinks they are in love" right through to "when a couple discovers the true meaning of love". Aditya (Vivek Oberoi) and Suhani (Rani Mukerji) met and fell in love. But when they eloped and set up home hoping that just Love will do the trick - well that's just the beginning of their story.

How long will you keep crying?

It's been so many days.

What should I do if

I feel like crying?

Had I not insisted on marrying,

all this would never have happened.

It was I who had insisted

on marrying secretly.

I was also so impatient.

If you are repenting it.

Why don't you leave me?

If I can live without my father,

I can live without you.

Leave me alone.

What should I say? - Just read what

is written. Come on try, please.

What if I get caught? Don't worry.

You just have to act a little.

Anyway, that's all you do

through out the day.

I'll slap you...

Hello! This is...

- Like a woman... shyly.

Dina Sharma.

Do you remember me?

Mr. Sharma's daughter... Dina?

Yes, Miss Dina! What a surprise!

How are you?

I am fine. I wanted to meet you once.

- Me? What for?

At 4 o'clock near the Kala Ghoda

parking lot...

Tomorrow.

Don't worry, I won't bite.

Can you connect me to Dina Sharma?

Miss Dina. Good morning,

this is Raghunath Pandit.

Maybe you didn't recognize me...

I recognize you very well.

What do you want from me?

I wanted to meet you.

Why? Was it not enough to

insult my family?

That's why... I mean... I want

to remove all doubts.

If you could meet me for 5 minutes...

Please... only for 5 minutes.

If you could meet me tomorrow at 4 P.M.

Near the Kala Ghoda parking lot,

I would be grateful.

Isn't that Raghu?

- It sure looks like him.

We were totally ruined after

that incident.

Dad passed away soon after.

But, why should it concern you... you...

I am sorry for what has happened.

But, it's unfair of you...

to blame me for all of it.

If that is your attitude...

why did you want to meet me?

Why did you call me here?

Excuse me, but it was you who

called me on the phone.

Otherwise, why would I have come?

The phone call was made by you.

I didn't even... do you think I had lost

it that I should have called you?

What do you think I am?

Looks like they are fighting.

Here is your coconut water.

I'm leaving.

Did you not call me... at the factory?

- Why should I?

You called me at the Bank.

I did speak to you and you did

ask me meet you here.

Maybe you are...

Oh God!

So this was your doing.

What do you think you are?

A matchmaker?

Do you want to start

a marriage bureau?

Actually... Your marriage broke up

because of us. So I felt that...

It's OK. Your intentions were good.

But, you didn't do well...

especially with Dina.

It's been 10 days since we

spoke to each other.

It's not unusual after marriage.

Look at Raj. Come.

We don't speak for months at end.

All our exchanges are

through servants.

I am beginning to feel that

Adi is tired of me.

Don't be stupid.

Everyone says that if Adi ever flirts...

with another girl,

He'll see you in her.

Is that any less worrisome?

How is it?

Looks like someone is very thirsty.

Why...

The other day when I was giving

you coconut water...

You were glaring at me.

Am I a matchmaker...?

I should start a marriage bureau.

I think after this success...

I should start one.

And when should we arrange for

the wedding bells to toll?

Raghu, will you come on

a white horse?

Or must I get a black train

booked for you?

The day after tomorrow,

they are coming home.

Then, you can book

your black trains.

What happened?

I wish Dad were still alive.

Have this coconut water and

stop the water from your eyes.

I have ordered food at home.

- What do you mean...?

Oh sorry! Those people didn't

have a place to party...

So, I called them here.

- I don't want to party.

Did you ask me? - I didn't check...

but Anju asked and I said yes.

Is Anju going to decide...

what is going to happen in my house?

You should ask me...

So many people and

so little common sense.

An open door opens like this

and not like this.

She'll just be here..

You were very scared of your parents

...how did they agree?

I had to smuggle her out...

- You are quite brave.

This is nothing. One day she took

Bhaskar to meet her parents.

You are quite an intelligent girl.

How did you ever get stuck

with this Bhaskar?

The same way I got stuck with her.

The minute I looked at her,

my mind started to wander.

You are a very

discouraging friend.

Get married first.

Then, you'll have to find out

the price of food grains.

Yes from Jeevan stores.

Suhani knows the rates quite well.

Remember...?

Men show their true colours

after marriage.

How's that?

Before marriage they are piling

on to you everywhere...

And after marriage they are

embarrassed to even hold you.

Does that really happen?

Yes. You are embarrassed

at your doing...

So the easy way out is a mangalsutra

to wear around the neck.

Before marriage every man

is special.

After marriage... he becomes

just another husband.

For me, Adi can never be ordinary.

I should have married you.

- What had to happen has happened.

You are tired of me now.

- What?

What were you saying?

Come on Suhani.

You know I was joking.

It didn't sound like a joke to me.

I've become stale.

Or have you started to

like someone else?

Stop this nonsense.

You never spoke like this

before marriage.

I am now.

Nothing has changed even now.

If you like someone else

you can go with her.

Now, where should I find

another destiny?

You were destined for me.

And now I have to break my head with

you throughout my life.

That's what you do best.

First, you taunt then you cry.

Do I trouble you so much?

What is my fault?

The fault is mine to have left

my parents for you.

Then, go back to them.

"A history of atrocities..."

"And yet, you claim authority"

"You take us by the hand

and hurt us"

"Good Heavens, no!"

"Good Heavens, no!"

"This is not done"

"A history of atrocities..."

"And it's blown out

of proportions"

"The lies in the world

now threaten my life"

"They're the ones who

inflict atrocities...

"And they're the ones who complain"

"Good Heavens, no!"

"This is not done"

"Friends..."

"How am I to spend a lifetime

misled by illusions?"

"If only I could take away

your illusions"

"Take away this affliction

of love too"

"Let that be... or else

how will you manage?"

"Your attitude, your involvement

shall lead us on"

"Life's a boat sailing

miles across the sea"

"We'll have to drown in it,

there's miles of sea ahead"

"A history of atrocities..."

"And the pot calling

the kettle black"

"The lies in the world

now threaten my life"

"They're the ones who inflict atrocities

and they're the ones who complain"

"Good Heavens, no!"

"Good Heavens, no!"

"This is not done"

I've been trying to find you for so long.

I searched everywhere for you.

Why? Is there something

very important?

Yes, it's important...

but now I am suddenly shy.

You... Dina...

I thought once things got

a little confirmed then...

You were hiding it from me.

Of course not. I wanted to meet

and tell you myself.

That's why, I'd stopped Aditya

from tell you anything.

Aditya... he knows about

two of you?

He's the one who brought

Mani Ratnam

Gopala Ratnam Subramaniam (born 2 June 1956), commonly known by his screen name Mani Ratnam, is an Indian film director, screenwriter, and producer who predominantly works in Tamil cinema. The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri, acknowledging his contributions to film in 2002. Despite being born into a film family, Mani Ratnam did not develop any interest towards films when he was young. Upon completion of his post graduation in management, he started his career as a consultant. He entered the film industry through the 1983 Kannada film Pallavi Anu Pallavi. The failure of his subsequent films would mean that he was left with fewer offers. However, his fifth directorial outing, Mouna Ragam (1986), established him as a leading filmmaker in Tamil cinema. He followed that with Nayakan (1987). Mani Ratnam is well known for his "Terrorism trilogy" consisting of Roja (1992), Bombay (1995), and Dil Se.. (1998). Mani Ratnam is married to Tamil actress Suhasini and has a son with her. He has won several film awards, including six National Film Awards, six Filmfare Awards South and three Bollywood Filmfare Awards. more…
