Tehzeeb Page #6

"And the second is,

I've got to be afraid"

"Because if she's against it,

no music company will touch my music"

And your dreams of becoming a Lata

Mangeshkar will be shattered

I'm seeing other dreams now

I will now become Rukhsana Jamal

Very good. Amazing confidence!

Say that to Madam. Verbatim

No one can stop you from

becoming a star then

"But don't make me wait

too much, Aloka baby"

"Never, Choksu! Never!

- My baby..."

Madam... good afternoon!

- Hello

This is my daughter. Nazo

This is Salim and that's Tehzeeb.

- They were right here with us!

"Sit down, madam... please.

- Hello"

"What urgency was it that

brought you here, Mr Choksi?"

I was anyway coming to you

for the recording next week

It would have been too late by then.

I needed this urgent introduction

This is Aloka. She was going mad

to meet you

"She said, you're her Laxmi.

- Saraswati"

It's the same. Touch her feet.

- It's all right

"No, stay down there till she

gives you her blessings"

You have my blessings

"Madam, you see her

level of devotion?"

Is she your leading lady?

- A leading lady...

and a singer too

I see. So that's how it is?

No... only if you

give me the permission

Why wouldn't I give the permission?

The industry's bursting with singers

So many have come and gone away.

- I'm not the one to go away

"What she says is, the way

you're still going strong..."

"she will, well...

how do I explain...?"

Have you learnt something?

Or is it just a passing fancy?

I'm learning from the

maestro Ghulam Abbas Khan

"You won't believe me unless

you hear her, madam"

Get started

"A lesson..."

"You have taught me"

"You've made me..."

"forget everything else"

"Giving once is like

giving a million times..."

"Your heart, You have

given to me"

"Everyone I met,

was without desire"

"You have given me..."

"without any motive"

"A lesson..."

"You have taught me"

"You've made me..."

"forget everything else"

"When a sinner like me

has been spared..."

"what have You given hell?"

"Whatever I have got..."

"I've got from you, Lord"

"A lesson..."

"You have taught me"

"You've made me..."

"forget everything else"

You have the melody. And there's

also feeling in your voice

Am I right?

- Absolutely

Here's a piece of advise.

It'll be useful for you

To make it to the peak of glory

is not a difficult task

To stay there...

is not everyone's cup of tea

That was the blow!

"Madam, amazing advise you've given

this girl. Right in the beginning!"

"The Sun's setting, Madam.

We must leave now"

"I mean, we must leave"

Let's go

Thank you so much

for your precious time

That's my mother-in-law!

You're up early today.

What's the matter?

That cursed Bali's phone woke me up.

- What did he have to say?

"He says, although we're famous,

we have very little work"

"At this rate, we'll have to leave

our flat at Malabar Hill..."

and move to Lokhandwala.

- That you'd have money problems...

"I could never even imagine, Mama"

What you see is not always

the truth

"Times don't always

remain the same, my child"

Why don't you quit singing?

You can move in with us

Can't quit singing

until I quit the world

Let's see who gets

to that tree first

"You'll lose, Mama"

You're challenging Rukhsana Jamal?!

Let's see!

You lost deliberately

If you've won...

isn't it my victory too?

It's going to be difficult to go away

if you show me so much of affection

Who wants you to go away anyway?

- You can't go away!

You're staying here! With us!

And you will play with us!

- You're hitting me...? Lmp!

How come...?

What do you like about me?

Everything!

And you...?

Your hands.

- Hands?

Yes. Remember when I fell ill

as a child...? I had typhoid

You had given up all your work

to stay with me

You were with me for five days.

You'd run your hand over my head...

and then touch my cheeks

to check if I still had the fever

You'd then raise both your hands

in prayer...

"Lord, save my daughter"

I remember how scared I was.

For three days...

your fever was stuck at 103 degrees!

"And ever since,

I wanted to remain ill forever!"

Why?

- So you could remain at home...

with me!

Remember? I always used to complain

of stomach-aches and pains...?

there was nothing of the sort.

It was all a drama

Brat!

- I wanted to tie you down to me!

I never felt bad

when you went to work

"But you never once turn around

to wave at me, when you left"

And that always irked me

"Mama, I have a fever too. See!"

How long is this blah-blah

continuing at this seminar?

Till one in the morning or two...?

I'm starved and these guys

aren't even taking a break

So how far have you got

with your novel?

"Right now, it's still

at the doorstep"

It's easy for you to

write love-stories

But you find it difficult to write

about life and its realities?

Writing fiction is easy.

Not facts

So tell me...

what is the problem?

"There ought to be a distance

between friends, Sheena"

What for?

- Because...

"gossip spreads like wildfire.

"People are bound to talk!"

So let them!

My wife will throw me

out of the house

You can come to my place!

- Now look...

"what's all this about?

You're not in love with me, are you?"

It's the truth

"Song sequence from the film

"Umrao Jaan" starring Rekha"

"Song sequence from the film

"Brahmachari" starring Shammi Kapoor"

"Song sequence from the film "Satyam

Shivam Sundaram" starring Zeenat Aman"

"Song sequence from the film "Mr India

"starring Sridevi"

"Song sequence from the "Gumnaam

"starring Mehmood"

"I entertained you, made you smile,

made you laugh..."

give me a reward!

Here you are

"What a talented girl!

- Pendant for me, ring for you"

My children!

Who's there...?

Thief! You're stealing here...?

Tehzeeb! Thief! Thief!

Throw that bat away!

Throw it away!

I'll kill you!

Throw that bat away! Go on!

Get lost... beat it!

Don't you move! It's a loaded gun.

I'll shoot

Throw that knife away... throw it!

- Relax...

I'm not a thief. I'm just hungry

So you were taking the

vessels away to cook a meal?

You were stealing the vessels?

- Call the police. Hurry up

Don't move... don't!

He has run away!

He has escaped!

"Are you okay, Mama?

- Yes, I'm fine"

But this revolver...?

- It's Salim's... this revolver

You're amazing! What if

something had happened to you?

So? Life has given me many wounds.

What's another?

Weren't you scared?

- I was

I thought you'd fire

Put it away. How long will you

keep holding it?

Ask Salim to return home

on time

I'll go and keep this back

Looks like it

Sweetheart...

forgive me. But my train was held up

on the tracks last night

I had to spend the whole night

in the train

What's up? You're a bit too

angry today

"When a pretty girl

is angry..."

"she looks even prettier"

"When the train leaves

the station..."

"oh yes..."

"it races away"

You don't trust me

even so much?

You're here to meet Salim...?

He's not at home!

I can understand what must've happened
