The Dirty Picture Page #4

Synopsis: Rebellious and uninhibited Reshma lives an impoverished lifestyle with her mother, Ratnamma, in 1980s South India. She is an ardent fan of film actor, Suryakant, and her one ambition in life is to meet and act with him. She runs away to Madras, and like, hundreds of young women, lines up outside Jupiter Studios to try and get noticed. With her plain, next-door-girl looks, she gets ignored but as fate could have it she is given a chance to play a minor role after she manages to sneak into the studios. The role exploits her as a sex symbol, driving males to the cinema houses to absorb her movements and beauty. Virtually overnight she, now renamed Silk, becomes a sensation, and together with the aging superstar, Suryakant, the one she had always fantasized about, she sizzles the silver screen with her sex appeal. Suryakant's brother, Ramakant, an author, is smitten by her - so much so that he would like her to opt out of movies altogether, so that he could marry her. But the rebellious wo

'ting' of acting in me.

You listen to me

nothing will happen...

I know her... listen to me.

Let me at least talk to her.

- Silk madam... - You can't go in.

Ratnamma... I'll call you later.

Just let me talk to her!

Silk madam... Silk madam!

Madam...

how are you, madam?

You!

Silk madam... how are you?

I'm good.

God is playing games with me.

I thought...

a thousand rupees

might be enough but...

you... you seem to be... very rich.

Even a million won't be enough.

You know something...

you've been lucky for me.

Every time you appear...

something good definitely happens.

Now you're leaving me high and dry.

I'm giving the security

guard a thousand for the kiss.

Thanks a lot, madam.

You are very nice.

Some people make

films touch the heart.

Some people make films touch the mind.

The body part they wanted to touch...

well, this film was a hit there!

Thank you...

- Very nice. - You liked it?

What a film, what a film!

You liked it?

Like?

I haven't seen such a

disgusting film in my life.

There's something nice

and superb about this film.

Silk?

Now you will realise that to make a

good film you need a good director...

not a dancer!

But don't you worry.

You think this film will do well?

Not a chance.

But I am still

willing to work with you...

because you gave me my first break.

Here...

have this and...

even the abuses will sound sweet.

Mr. Worm!

That bastard ripped everything apart!

Forget about him.

I am sure even his

alcohol is as bad as him.

But...

what if his words come true?

We haven't made this film for him.

Our fate will be decided on Friday.

Industry has sunk to new lows...

thanks to Selva Ganesh and...

more importantly Silk.

By Nayla.

Down with Silk!

Down with Silk!

Hello Silk...

It's been so long.

Is this the first time you're here?

You act very well even in reality!

Sir, a little closer, please.

Yes, that's fine.

Let's go inside.

The action always takes place inside.

All night you stick to me like glue...

otherwise you don't

even want to hold me.

Hello...

Control yourself, Silk.

The people here know me.

If my wife hears about this,

it won't be good.

See you later at the farmhouse.

So, now what?

Enjoy the race.

Lay a bet on a good horse.

I've bet on you.

Don't let me down.

Evening... farmhouse.

That's Silk.

What is she doing here?

Are people like her allowed in here?

Let alone her films, I

don't even look at the posters!

You!

You are... here at the race course...

Why not?

Can't I come to the race course?

I'm a star too.

You think only these well

dressed people with their English...

...accents can come here?

You are Silk, aren't you?

Yes, so what?

I am your fan.

I didn't think

anybody here would know me.

Apart from a dozen

horses and a few asses...

there's no one here

who doesn't know you.

Thank you.

I want to lay a wager

that number 9 will win.

How do I do it?

Silk madam, don't bet on that horse.

This horse has never won.

Nobody has ever bet on him.

Did anyone imagine that India

would defeat West Indies...

...in the cricket world cup final?

But India won!

If nobody bets on him,

why will he win?

He's a horse, not an ass.

Here's the money.

It will.

Ramakant sir...

finally someone bet on your horse.

This horse never won a race for me...

but I hope he wins this race for Silk.

Come on come on, Mountain Storm.

At night you prefer to be like

the hands of a clock at 12 o'clock.

But during the day,

your clock says 6 o'clock.

I have to control, Silk.

Yesterday if we were seen together...

you would've lost nothing...

but I would've lost everything.

So, which horse did you bet on?

The horse that won.

I'm the horse that wins.

- Surya! - Radhika!

Go hide in there...

Surya!

Go in will you...

Go in...

Yes? Just coming...

Press my head no one does it like you.

Silk never took the easy path.

Then how could her life ever be easy?

She had broken a million hearts...

and now her heart was at stake.

People say only the heart

breaks but they're wrong.

Every single part of the

body goes into mourning.

The throat becomes dry...

and cheeks remain cold...

eyes welled up with tears...

and heart... empty.

I learnt about Silk's

misery much later...

otherwise I would've celebrated.

Excuse me!

Are you alright?

Why wouldn't I be?

Should I get a taxi for you?

Why? Don't you have a car?

You... will come along... with me?

Why not? Are you going to rape me?

What?

Why would you say that?

Excuse me...

just a minute, please.

Don't worry. Just do it.

What?

You aren't the first man to think...

'while shifting the gear if

I could somehow touch her.'

What... no...

I wasn't thinking of that.

You work for Suryakant?

I'm his brother.

Suryakant... Ramakant...

brothers.

Did you see his wife go in?

Yes.

That's when you figured that...

since the permanent one

is in, I will sneak out.

One brother takes me to bed and...

the other is

erecting a bed in his mind!

Why are your

thoughts always so twisted?

Because virtue doesn't

stand a chance in this world.

What do you do?

I'm a writer. I write.

Which was your last film?

I haven't got the first one yet.

And you'll never get one.

Why not?

According to you, there's

only one hero in your family.

And that's Suryakant.

According to you, who is he?

Hero or...

a villain?

I've given up classifying people.

Moreover...

the hero and villain don't matter...

because I'm the vamp in every story.

I want to go home...

will you take me there?

Yes.

You see that window?

I escaped from it on

the eve of my wedding.

Won't you go in?

Mother...

This award goes to Silk.

And to give this award...

I would like to call Mr. Suryakant.

I want to present an award to the

person who chose Silk for this award.

She is despicable and...

the person who chose her even worse.

But mister... who the hell are you?

Abraham...

director.

Been a long time since I saw you.

I finally realised...

where to be seen and where not.

Success has gone to your head.

But many like you have come and gone.

I haven't come here to go away.

Look, I'm up here and

the others are down there.

You think the people

down there adore you?

They are laughing at you.

They know very well that

you don't belong with us.

You are the fantasy from last night...

...that nobody talks about

the next morning.

You are our dirty secret!

At least say thanks...

I really don't know

where to begin from.

If I begin right at the start,

my mother will be hurt.

If I talk about the present,

you might feel offended.

Because today I won't stop.

Everybody's right eye is twitching

and heart on the left is throbbing...

anticipating what I'm about to say.

You must be

wondering why you ever put...

a nobody like me on a pedestal.

Some people are famous

because of what they do.

I'm infamous for what I do.

Vulgar...

disgusting...

sexy...

dirty...

the words that are

applied to describe me.

Just so someone's
