Someone help me break up too

No problem

- And me!

Sony, it's very late

It's okay..

But I was just...

Come in

- No

I won't take time. I was thinking...

I mean...you...instead of...

Ved, look at me

What is it?

Tell me Ved...

It's not what you think

Nothing important

- Then say it

Okay

You see it was different in Corsica

We promised we'd lie.

Here you didn't have to

What?

- The truth!

You cou

d've told me the truth

Ved, come inside

- I'm not here to come inside

You shou

d've said I was not

on your level

Ved...

I don't know what you thought

of me in Corsica. But here?

You know what I am

A normal person. Ordinary

Ved, one second

I'm ordinary

- That's the issue, Ved

I am average. Like them all

Walking on the street, with briefcase

Ved...

- Mediocre

That's what I said, Ved.

You're not that

I know who you are

B! You know, but no one else does

My family, friends.

Don't know myself, but you...

7 days in Corsica,

you've sussed me

No it's not fine Tara...

How could I?

It's good to let it out

What's there to let out?

Ved, just come.

- I am very sorry

I'm really really sorry.

Let it go Ved... It's fine...

Come inside

I shouldn't come inside

I didn't come here to patch up

No sense standing out here

It's late. People must be asleep

I'll wake them because I'm nuts.

I'll scream, make a racket

Make a scene

Take me inside. Hide me

Anything to control this beast

You're my life

You're my iy

Hairstyle is terrific, boss

Hairstyle

Hairstyle

Joining the movies?

- I wanted to

Sure, I did

Do it. What's the problem?

Only one problem

Circumstances

Parents did their duty,

got me married

I did the needful, had two kids

The wheel of time turns

Food, children's education,

wife's demands

The traffic, this rickshaw

You wanted to act?

To sing

You couldn't guess from my looks

But when I sang on stage

in Allahabad...

...the audience went crazy

They wouldn't let me stop

So you're a hero

No, sir

I'm just a rickshaw driver

Not a damn soul knows me

Inside, I am another man.

Outside, I'm powerless

Maths

I don't get Maths

Can't get the hang of it

Go on

I don't want to study

engineering, actually

It's not me, Papa

I am not interested. So...

When your grandpa came

here after the Partition...

...he had zero

No roof over his head

And a family of 8 to feed

If he had said:
"

'm not

interested in working in a factory

"

t's not me,

actually, I want to play the flute"

Could the family have sun/ived?

Would you have the chance

of doing engineering?

After two years of training...

...you couldn't even pass the

entrance exam

You wasted a year at home

You're getting admission now

thanks to my donation

You should be grateful.

Work harder out of shame

But what interests you?

Sitting under trees, telling stories

at 10- rupees an hour

Want to be a movie star?

What is your career plan?

Speak up!

Locking eyes

with dazzling damsels

Trying to lure lovely chicks

Locking eyes

with dazzling damsels

Trying to lure lovely chicks

O beauty...

Doing my duty, hitting on you

I've left decency behind

Inviting trouble on myself

I'm in hot water, thanks to you

Locking eyes

with dazzling damsels

Trying to lure lovely chicks

Spending time talking

about you to myself

Laughing to myself,

crying to myself

Torturing myself

They all mock me because

of you

Me? Who strutted about proudly

What next? The usual

The same old story.

Majnu rips off his clothes

Makes a scene in public

Thinking to himself:

"Why...where...sunny...money"

Without money, how would it be?

Just think! Forget boring facts

Be happy, eat well

Lock horns, walk the gallows.

Tear your clothes, untie knots

Whip the cream, tell the tale

Entertain them all.

Make noise, shake hips

Pour out the silver and gold

of your heart. I surrender to you

Just for you

Your slave, master, wearing a tie.

In the lift, coming to you

Doing again what I do

every day

Doing it again and again

and again

Sometimes it's your story.

Sometimes another's

What's in your heart?

The colour of your heart?

What does it seek?

Tell me

Answer me

Sorry, Papa

- No, son, my donation

You realise, that's enough

lam proud of you my son...

I know you'll do well in college

All the best...

The flowers in your hair have

robbed the very life from me

Your every move has ensnared me

Tell me where are you

leading me

Slowly but surely

you've done me in

Locking eyes

with dazzling damsels

Trying to lure lovely chicks

Locking eyes

with dazzling damsels

I pray you get your dream girl

Thank you

Good morning

Morning

Good morning sir

Where's your tie?

Forgot it?

Tiwari

It's okay boss...

"'8 0kay...?

"'8 0kay...?

We're hardly selling the tie

Put it on!

Gone nuts, all for a girl

Hurry uP---

...it is finally our core values

that will harness the seismic shift

because technology epiphanies

are not a result of a packed like sardines

Eureka Moment they

are systematically produced

and the Devil is in the detail

what difference does it mane

plus the Blue Ocean Strategy

is call it what you want IP driven

and favors the backward

integration process

Why, sir? I wasn't nervous today

Not the point

The client looks happy

You were talking crazy stuff

Crazy stuff?

Anyway...

- Okay sir

Anywym

and sector agnostic though

it looks from the outside,

from the inside it

is not only hello hello Charlie

consistent to our corporate

DNA but also organic to the

new drivers of economy

Patparganj and since...

all points of convergence

are known to us-

Very amused, right?

Yes!

You know you'll get sc

Badly

You'll get sc

Bastard

It's come to this

Went nuts over a girl

Ved..

Hi, Tara

Sorw, I saw your missed calls

How are you?

- Absolutely fine. You?

Can we meet?

Why?

I want to see you

That's not why I called

I just wanted to apologise

I want to see you, Ved

What is it? I'm fine

Where are you now, Ved?

Can I come over?

I'll wait, if you're busy

Ok

Hi

Oh, hi

Dicey, eh?

Should we? Yes, no?

Better

Hello, how are you?

I won't do anything crazy

What did I do the other day?

Ved...

I came here to tell you

it's my fault

HQW?

Because you rejected me?

Because I said something...

...acting too smart

It disturbed you

I think I touched a raw nerve

in you

I want to say sorry

Then say it

Say $0")!

Go on, say it

What are you?

A psychiatrist?

Am I your patient?

I'm concerned

That's mighty helpful

Wow!

I'm feeling well these days

Great, thanks

Ved, I'm sorry

I take back everything I said

to you the other day

Where's the ring? I want it

Everyone can see how happy I am

Ved.

Don't get physical

Leave it, Tara

- Please, Ved, sit down

You're in love, crazy girl

Yes, Ved

But with someone else

You belong to someone else,

O muse of poetry

Tara, listen

I can't predict my reactions

So I'll go

- What have I done wrong?

sorfY

You're so great, Tara

I could worship you

See...

...what I become
