The Dirty Picture Page #7

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

What you're

proposing is a very big risk.

Think about it.

When God has blessed

you with one life...

why think twice?

No, think again.

You could lose all

that you have earned.

I never thought I'd

get what I have earned.

You need to do a lot of

films to earn that much.

But only one is enough to lose it all.

It's your blood and sweat...

that's why I'm telling you.

I've seen you rise up...

I can't bear to see you fall.

Silk trusts her Mr. Worm.

I love your idea of a triple role!

One mother and two daughters.

That's what I thought.

When people see one Silk,

their tongues hit the floor.

When they see three Silks together...

their trousers will hit the floor!

Remember Abraham?

What about him? Is he dead?

He is alive.

He is also making a triple role film.

And he is playing the lead.

Ramakant is writing the script.

Mr. Worm...

do you know why Silk is so expensive?

Because it is meant to shine.

Let him make his film.

We will watch it and

so will the public.

The era of hate was over.

Now it was time to

destroy Silk, once and for all.

She stole my idea to

compete against me!

I will put an end to her!

Hello, Mr. Worm...

Good good!

Mr. Worm, will the

trousers come down or not?

Everything will come down.

Your cheque.

Thanks.

You stepped on the beach

and the tide subsided.

When the tide rises...

you will be the first to drown.

I even swam through the

giant waves in a storm...

and that's the reason I've survived.

But you...

you're back to where you started from.

Well, even you've come to me.

You can't live without me.

My biggest fan.

I'm here to celebrate your defeat.

Why?

Don't have anyone to

celebrate your success with?

I had told you...

you can't defeat me.

But the fight was a pleasure.

Silk is born to give pleasure.

To her well-wishers and her opponents.

And you are extra special.

That's what the newspapers say.

But there's something you

still haven't revealed...

the fact that you like me.

Flop actress.

She had the last

word like the lead hero.

I like her?

I...

If she were the last woman on earth...

I'd castrate myself!

Murli...

Murli...

a large coffee, please.

And for the two women?

Beer or tequila?

Success does bestow a

certain energy, Murli.

Two girls?

It's not what you think.

One brought you home last night.

And the other is waiting

outside with her camera.

Ask the one with the camera to wait...

and send the one

from last night packing!

I'm leaving!

Last night was great, wasn't it?

No way!

And you should be with Silk, not me!

All night you kept talking

about that disgusting woman!

Oh, I'm sorry baby.

Tell me something...

when I was talking about her...

was it with hatred or affection?

What?

The problem is I... I hate her...

but she thinks I love her.

I want to know what my

feelings have to say.

You are mad...

absolutely mad!

Bye... I will call you.

Yeah, sure!

You don't even know my name!

Yet you spent the night with me and...

are calling Silk disgusting!

How did I end up in this

Shakespearean tragedy, Silk?

Earlier I fought with you

and now I'm fighting for you!

Your girlfriend left

hurling abuses at you.

She was nothing.

Last week a girl almost broke my head!

Back then you were nothing...

now you are.

Next week again I'll be nothing.

I'm not some film

that changes every week.

You just reminded me of someone.

I imagined I was the only

antique piece around here.

Hey, by the way, congrats.

You've defeated Silk.

I can't believe you guys!

I get no credit for my success.

You're congratulating

me because Silk failed.

Abraham...

whose corner are you in?

Our corner or Silk's corner?

I hate her.

And if you want to

continue talking about her...

then this interview is over!

I didn't know that...

Silk is such a sensitive topic.

Tell me something...

what brought about this

drastic change in your films?

You see... one day I was watching

my own film and I fell asleep.

That's when I realised something.

Films need three things to sell...

entertainment,

entertainment, entertainment!

Silk... anything important?

I have come here to get high.

You know acting always gets me high.

Silk, you know very well that...

neither I nor anybody

else will give you any work.

But if you want some money...

Do you have five rupees?

Five rupees?

When I first tried to get

into films, someone told me...

that nobody would give me any work.

He gave me five

rupees and sent me away.

Sir, give me five rupees.

Probably those days will come back.

I was the dog that...

had gone mad after biting Silk.

I never let a friend

get close to me...

but Silk was, all

thanks to our enmity.

Why did I go to her?

For company?

For lack of a friend,

an enemy would do.

Don't stare at me.

It's as if the oven is

awaiting a marinated chicken!

At least try to give

yourself some respect in your words.

Anyway, what are you doing here?

For lack of a friend,

an enemy will do.

I've destroyed you...

I was here to see how

many stitches Silk needs.

Have a coffee... I'll pay for it.

Two Silk coffees, please.

The coffee that goes by

my name is quite famous.

Try it.

It's the best cure for a hangover.

You will burn in hell!

And you...

you will enjoy it as a

bonfire and warm your hands.

My heart and mind

were caught in a duel.

I guess I was too high

that I began to like Silk.

The mind warned...

'Don't be an idiot, control yourself.'

For every man there is a woman.

If you can stay away from her,

life will be great.

Otherwise it's over.

I viewed from different angles...

in different poses...

even stood on my head...

but same results.

I can never like you.

You better get yourself checked...

or you won't like your wife

the day after your wedding.

Do you have any alcohol?

Do I look like an idiot?

That I offer you a

drink and let you abuse me?

I want a drink because

I don't want to abuse.

I think you're the type of girl...

who looks better after a drink.

This is the worst!

You mean it struck a

chord in your heart.

The colour of the bathtub is awful...

there should've been more bubbles...

I didn't like it.

Then give it back.

I'm keeping it.

What about this?

Even children wear

more clothes than you.

If you manage to live

up to a ripe old age...

you will look

exactly like your mother.

That's not my mother...

it's me!

Nayla wanted to interview my mother.

You know Nayla...

she can be very persistent.

It was not easy to say 'no' to her...

but it was easy to

become my own mother.

So... I dusted my hair with powder,

wore a dull saree...

and gave the interview.

Have you done anything straight?

Why didn't you take

Nayla to your mother?

My mother had slammed the door on me.

Why would they talk about me...

when they are

embarrassed they gave birth to me.

If you weren't born at all,

how would the world ever know...

that women can also be like you!

Is that an abuse

disguised as praise...

or praise concealed in an abuse?
