Soundtrack Page #7

- Your mom?

Dude, is being deaf some kind of

family business for you guys?

Pch...

not my mom Charlie, Gauri... Gauri.

- Tea?

- Charlie doesn't drink tea.

- Right, Charlie?

- No, no, no, no.

- Come.

- Lets go.

Ok buddy, be honest now.

Did you make this?

How is it?

What did you think, I've come

in the middle of the night

because I was missing you?

Charlie, please tell me how it

is... I've never heard it.

What do you mean you

haven't heard it.

Charlie, I'm completely deaf.

- Completely?

- Pin drop silence.

Then this?

Charlie,

I can't hear, but I can hear.

Oh man... bro... bro come here, man.

This is good... this is darn good!

This is DAMN GOOD.

You have no idea how...

Charlie relax, control. I can't

hear you, no point shouting.

Oh, oh, okay. Good, good, good.

Boss you have no idea

how good this is.

When we release this album,

It's going to make you a

superstar, overnight.

And folks DIG your kind of triumph...

of the human spirit stories.

You watch reality shows right?

Yeah!

Charlie,

I don't think we should tell

people about my handicap.

Why not?

- I don't want any charity.

Bro, are you kidding me?

Musicians are a dime-a-dozen

in this town.

Has anyone ever heard of a deaf

composer around here? No!

That's exactly what we should

take advantage of.

Wisen up my boy!

Charlie, all I want to know

is if my music is good...

despite my deafness.

Oh my love, take it from me...

screw me.

Take it in writing from a guy

with an ear for music.

You are going to be a role model

for people, definitely.

They'll even make feature

films on your life!

Get your make up on, buddy.

Roll camera, sound...

Sorry, no sound, action!

I was going through a dark phase.

And then I discovered

genuine brightness.

I took to the New Emami Fair and

Handsome, especially for Men.

Hi Handsome... Hi handsome.

And I found what I was looking for.

Hi Handsome.

Do you hear me?

Cut... pack up!

What's up? Lost your marbles?

Why is your hair red?

Want me to talk about your nest?

Ever slide my hand in there...

a pair of sparrows might

come flying out.

Want me to talk about your face?

Looks like you were made in a lab.

Now you're talking just

like my ex-girlfriend.

Shouldn't have broken up with her.

Truth hurts, doesn't it?

Does it, does it?

Now you're talking just

like my future wife.

Was that your proposal?

Well,

I thought you were a fast learner,

but now,

it looks like I'm going to...

have to stay and teach you stuff,

All life long.

So does that amount to acceptance?

Your highness...

Here he is.

Charlie, what the hell is

all this ruckus about?

- I don't like any of this.

- Please.

- Here you go.

- What's this now?

Keys to my villa.

I want you to keep it.

- Keep it?

- Yeah. Keep it.

You only gave me a doll for the

first album. This time, keys?

Aah, the doll reminds me...

Ta-daan.

The Raunak action figure,

version 2.0.

Pa-dum... how it is?

How is Raunak?

Charlie, I don't want any of

this showbiz stuff now.

Hey listen, come on brother, please.

I really don't have the

time for all this...

Charlie I don't want any of this...

- Please, mate.

The press is on its way,

I have to go receive them.

You also get ready okay? Bye.

He's doing all this for the

publicity. - Exactly my point.

Hi,

Okay.

Welcome ladies and gentlemen.

Thanks for coming.

Well, just two years ago,

he came to our city,

Armed only with a bagpack

and a guitar.

Today we have with us a role

model and an inspiration.

Ladies and gentlemen, Raunak Kaul.

Now you can ask him your

questions directly.

And don't worry,

he can read your lips.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Sir... over hear!

You could hear once, now you're deaf.

How does that make you feel?

From where you are,

I may be deaf to you.

Similarly, you're mute to

me, from where I am.

Nothing has changed,

except my perspective.

Whoa, I say Raunak!

But how can a deaf man compose

music? How is it possible?

Everything is possible if you

want to make it possible.

Who made the rules that a deaf

man can't compose music?

Didn't Beethoven?

- Uhh, excuse me, hello...

are you comparing yourself

to Beethoven?

No. I'm not likening

myself to Beethoven.

All I'm trying to say is you don't

need ears to make music,

You need soul. And I'm not here

for any publicity either.

I made this album at a point when...

I'd lost my hearing completely.

I had some unproduced stuff of my...

father's which I've recreated.

- In my own way. That's it!

But how do we believe that

you produced this indeed?

Be my guest not to.

I don't need to prove jackshit

to you subwoofers!

Go home, the lot of you.

I don't need to prove myself

to these people, Charlie.

Hey Raunak, come back man, where

are you going? - Stop it.

He is insulting us.

Hey Raunak, come back, man!

Darn it?

You can't talk to the

press like this.

Come on guys, sit down, please...

He's a creative guy, an artist.

There was certainly no need

to be rude with him.

Rude!

Here's another callous comment.

You're the one saying he's deaf,

he's saying he's deaf.

All we want to know is how he's

composed music being deaf.

Or else, this is a publicity stunt?

Hey, come on, Raunak Kaul

is deaf for a fact,

And he has produced this album

in his state of deafness.

Trust me on this, brother.

I mean, here's a guy who

overcomes his handicap

and emerges as a shining example,

A role model,

an inspiration for others.

Yet he has to prove his talent,

his abilities to us folks.

Folks like us, who've got what

not even jackshit to

show for ourselves.

Come on man, being a deaf musician

is tougher than being

a one-legged...

footballer or a blind painter.

Just because he looks

normal doesn't...

mean he isn't handicapped.

You got to...

I think we should go ahead

and do the concert... l...

have the clearance... we

can do this.

Let us do it man.

Excuse me, sir?

You wanted proof? You'll have it.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Raunak Kaul will perform

LIVE in concert,

Saturday night!

He's the man.

He's a genius and he's

a true blue rockstar.

Rumor has it that to convince

Raunak to perform in concert,

Charlie had to shave

off all his hair.

ALL OF IT!

This world is a small place...

every where there are roads

that are already known...

I hope to meet you some day soon!

I am sure to meet you some

day... and I will ask how you are?

Goodluck.

I'm going to feel a little less

nervous with you two around.

What an evening.

Some new faces, some old friends.

- Thank you so much for coming.

I would like to thank our sponsors...

especially our music label Saregama,

for believing in us and giving

us this opportunity.

And now without any further ado,

Please welcome the man who makes

handicapped people look cool.

Beethoven from Bandra, Raunak Kaul.

This is it bro, I believe in you.

Yayy Raunak.

Can you guys hear me?

But I can't hear you.

So please applaud as loud as you can.
