The Dirty Picture

Mother... I've heard that...

a beautiful world

exists beyond this village.

Big cities, grand markets and...

huge houses where movies can be seen.

There's nothing of that sort.

Now get down.

Mother, you always break my dreams.

Dreams are meant to be broken.

Get down.

- No, I won't.

You won't?

What if I make you fall? Tell me.

You're my mother. You'll make me fall?

If your mother makes you fall,

she will also help you to your feet.

If you fall in the city,

no one will help you to your feet.

Get down... now!

No, I won't.

Get down.

Mother...

When He has blessed you with

one life, why think twice?

We barely get down to it...

and the b*tch next

door is already on a roll!

Forget about her, darling.

Why don't you soothe

what's excited in here?

Get off!

Get off!

Now go to sleep.

We aren't doing it anymore.

Bloody idiots!

They can't do anything

without making a sound.

Marbles, cricket...

the choicest abuses...

He even made me wear boy's clothes.

If my father had his way...

he would even make me tease girls!

Didn't your mother ever stop him?

She gave birth to a girl instead of a

boy, so she remained a mute spectator.

Amma, tell me something...

I have what boys desire.

So, who is better?

Me or a boy?

Stop talking nonsense.

It's all rubbish!

Now don't be so coy. You're no less.

I can tell a lot of men have

been hard at work over here.

Stop it!

What?

Last night was fun.

Tonight could be even better.

My wife has a night-shift...

so tonight...

I merely touched you and it leaked...

your pen!

If I come over, what

will become of you?

You b*tch!

My wife is right about you.

She is right about you too!

You like to go riding but you can

barely stay on for a few seconds.

You are mine...

so why hide from you...

You can take a peek.

When you will truly be mine,

then you can see the entire picture!

You can go in...

You can also go in...

You are out...

you can go back.

Okay, you can go in.

You are out.

- Sir... - You can't come in.

- The selection is done. - Sir,

sir... I want to be an actor, sir.

And I wanted to be a director.

Sir, I don't want to

dance like other girls.

I want to act, sir.

And I wanted to make offbeat films.

Sir, I'll do

anything to become an actor.

And to become a director

I could not do anything.

Would you like to see

what's not in these pictures?

Do you want to hear

the story of my film?

Sir, you aren't even listening to me.

Sir, step out of your film.

And you step out of your dreams.

There are 25 like

you waiting outside...

and tomorrow there will be 50 more.

You're good for nothing.

Neither do you have the seductive charm

of a lover nor the grace of a wife.

You are very dull.

I've been living on

sugar for two days...

so how can I look spicy?

Hold on...

take this and have something to eat.

And think about what you

want to do with your life.

Not everyone can become an actor.

Let's go somewhere else.

Why?

We can be by ourselves

at some late night show.

It will be fun.

I'll pay you.

How much?

Only 20 rupees for me?

Take it.

Bloody pervert!

You're at the end of your life

and you want a fresh climax?

Neither do you have the seductive charm

of a lover nor the grace of a wife.

You are very dull.

Not everyone can become an actor.

There are 25 like

you waiting outside...

and tomorrow there will be 50 more.

Just a minute...

I'm not dull.

Who are you? What do you want?

Don't you remember?

You gave me some money

before rejecting me.

Here's your money.

I'm sure I have something for

which that guy forked out 20 rupees.

Sudhir, where is that girl?

How do I shoot the song sequence?

Where do I get a girl who

won't mind ripping her own skin?

Your whip scares the girls away...

You want me to do it?

Think you can bear the pain?

I bore it for so long, I'm

sure I can bear it ahead too.

Pan the camera.

Some say the glass is half full...

some say it's half empty.

And some are like Silk.

They say at least there is a drink.

Enjoy it.

It's stupidity.

But often stupidity manages

to get things done that...

Sir...

Sir... sir...

You want to take the camera

through the girl? - Do you?

What sort of a shot is this?

You horny bastard, filthy mind...

- Sir... - Shut up!

You play the flute behind my

back and now you want to sing!

Give me that reel.

Please sit, sir...

I left the shot for one

day and see what happened.

Where is it? Stop it!

Sir, we'll cut it, please...

If you don't cut the reel,

I'll cut you somewhere...

and then you won't know

whether to wear trousers or skirts!

What's the occasion, Amma?

You're all dressed to kill.

Who is the poor guy?

Check out the newspaper,

your movie is out today.

Aren't we going for

'first day, first show'?

Look...

Amma...

wait here, I'll just get ready.

Everybody should know that...

every film has only one hero...

Director!

Every film one hero...

Who?

Director!

Everybody is staring at you.

Who is that?

- The director.

Oh...

- Come on!

Take off your sunglasses.

Where is our seat?

Amma, we'll watch my

first film from up close.

You mean it's the first row?

Here it is.

No, here.

- Wow, it's Selva

Ganesh's film. - Yes!

His films are entertaining.

Off with your sunglasses.

- Amma... - Yes?

Mark my words, now all

my problems will go away.

The dance director said

he liked my performance.

Really?

Another thing, Amma...

My life has moved from

'pack up' to 'action'.

Now I won't let it slip away.

Hey! Shhh!

Stop talking.

What do you mean 'shhh'?

She is the heroine.

She is the heroine?

The heroine?

If she is the heroine,

can I get a refund?

Is this your song?

No.

This one?

Probably this is your song.

No...

Where is it?

Where is your song?

Miss Heroine...

heroine...

Can I at least have your autograph?

What has she done?

She's there in the whole film.

Reshma...

Madam... can I have your autograph?

People in Hollywood are

probably wondering...

...why I am wasting my talent in India.

I wish you had left for Hollywood

before putting me into a loss.

I would have been better off.

Sir, you haven't

tasted real respect yet.

Nayla has written

such a fantastic review.

Look at the wonderful

things that have been printed.

Hey... You english show-off!

I would've been happy if at

least the tickets were sold.

Sir, you wait and watch...

because of this film, you

will have a trophy in your hand.

And a begging bowl in the other.

Nowhere in the film did

the 'hero reason' come alive.

Not 'hero reason'.

It's heroism.

If you know it, why

didn't you portray it?

Sir, the thing is...

one man thrashing a dozen bad guys and

a dozen hot girls falling for one man...

doesn't click with the audience.

Real films are those that

compel the audience to think.

The audience wants to

feel something else...

and you want them to feel their mind?

Sir...

Abraham sir deleted one song.

That song would have worked wonders.

Which song?

This one... take a look.
