Tubelight Page #2

They'll get worn out with all

those parades.

Don't worry, brother.

Come back soon.

I'll get you those new boots.

Soldiers! Time to go!

- Hurry up.

- Let's go.

Even if...

...I stole the sparkle from the stars.

Stole the song from the breeze.

They could not ease the pain

of your absence.

Even if...

...I stole the colour from nature.

Stole blessings from the shrine.

They could not ease the pain

of your absence.

This world is full of strangers.

There's only you for me.

You're the dream that came true.

I will wait for your return.

God forbid something happens

to you...

Without you, loneliness stalks

my every step.

I am the moment that time

passed by.

Holi has no colour...

...without you.

Without you...

...the rainy season is dry.

Even if...

...I stole the rulebook of life.

Stole the cream off the profit.

They could not ease the pain

of your absence.

This world is full of strangers.

There's only you for me.

You're the dream that came true.

I will wait for your return.

God forbid something happens

to you...

Sit down! Settle down, folks!

The old, the young and

the little ones.

Some honesty, some trickery.

Everybody loves magic,

from priest to hermit.

I present the greatest King

who ever walked the earth!

Gogo Pasha!

Today I shall perform a miracle,

greater than magic itself.

This is no simple hand trick...

...it's a feat of sheer

willpower.

To perform this miracle...

...I need someone from the audience...

...who is all heart.

Who is that person?

Me! Take me!

You!

Yes, you.

Laxman, he's calling you.

Get up on stage.

You're going to witness a feat

greater than magic.

You'll see something move

that cannot move by itself.

I'm talking about self-belief.

Man's inner strength.

I won't perform this miracle...

...but my new friend will.

His name is...

...Tubelight!

No! They call me Tubelight

to make fun of me.

My name is Laxman.

Laxman, do me a favour.

Your zipper!

Don't worry...

...everyone has a magician

hidden inside.

"Make the impossible possible

Make all your dreams probable

Turn the parrot into a crow

You'll only reap what you sow."

Now you have the power...

...to perform the miracle!

You will now move this bottle

without touching it.

No, they'll make fun of me.

No, Laxman...

...if you can move it...

...no one will ever make fun

of you again.

Do as I ask.

Concentrate. You can do it.

Just concentrate, Laxman.

Tubelight, light up!

Concentrate, Laxman.

This Tubelight never lights up!

No, Laxman.

Get rid of your fears.

Awaken the power of self-belief.

Laxman, do you believe

you can do it?

Partner, do you believe?

Do you believe you can do it,

Laxman?

I believe I can make

the bottle move.

I can't hear you.

Louder! Do you believe that

you can do it?

Yes. I believe I can make

the bottle move.

Louder! Have you faith?

I can make it move.

Do it through your belief!

Light up. Light up. Light up!

OK, sir! Over!

Soldiers! Take cover

in the mountains.

Sir! Laxman Singh Bisht.

Have you sent the supplies?

Have you increased the quantity?

Cpt. Laxman Singh Bisht.

Sir, when will my brother

return?

- Who?

- My brother Bharat. When, sir?

Are you crazy?

Have you no sense?

There's a conflict raging.

Wasting my time."When will

my brother return?"

"Following growing tensions...

...China has attacked posts

in Ladakh and NEFA.

We do not know how many Indian

soldiers have been killed.

China has seized control

of seven Indian posts."

Disaster!

The papers say there are ten

Chinese soldiers to one of ours.

Our forces are unprepared.

They have no guns or ammunition.

How can they fight?

Banne uncle!

Don't say anything that will

upset him.

Banne uncle, you said

there'd be no fighting.

But that's untrue.

- Don't worry, son.

- How can I not worry?

Believe me, it'll be fine.

Believing alone does not help.

It does.

Anything is possible

if your belief is firm.

When Gandhiji began his

non-violent resistance...

...everyone thought it would

not affect the English.

But we all know what finally

happened.

At first others didn't believe it.

But Gandhiji's belief was

so strong...

...that soon every Indian

believed it too.

Their belief shook the

foundations of British rule.

Like the bottle shook?

Like the bottle?

A soda bottle.

I made a bottle move.

Meaning?

Ask Gogo Pasha.

I swear on my mother.

Gogo?

Here's a bottle. Make it move.

You want to see it move?

All right.

- It didn't move.

- Try again.

Let me try from there.

There! The bottle moved.

That's unfair. You moved the bottle.

Because you made me.

That's how belief works.

Gandhiji did not perform magic.

His words were so convincing

that they moved everyone.

People who have self-belief

can move even mountains.

Where do I find belief? So much

that I can move mountains too.

- Not where. But how!

- How?

Follow Gandhiji's teachings.

Do as he did.

What must I do?

I'll tell you about

Gandhiji's teachings tomorrow.

Why tomorrow? Start now!

Go home. It's late.

I'll be back tomorrow.

He's naive, Banne uncle.

What can you teach him?

He's not naive, Maya.

He's just different.

The poor boy is lonely

without Bharat.

We'll keep him distracted

till the war is over.

Chinese!

The Chinese have come.

The Chinese are here.

What do you mean?

- The Chinese are here?

- Where?

There. Over there.

How many are they?

Do they have guns?

- Maybe they do.

- Are they coming here?

Maybe they are.

- Come on, take me to them.

- Let's go.

I'll show them.

Light it!

Careful. They may have guns.

I'll teach them a lesson.

Long live...

That's when I understood why

the army does not enlist...

...people with knock-knees.

Ridiculous!

I told you to follow

in Gandhiji's footsteps...

...and you pull this stunt?

- Not Gandhiji's way?

- God save me.

Absolutely not.

He didn't act foolishly like you

or that idiot Narayan.

So what did Gandhiji do?

Here. Read it.

What does it mean?

Feeling enmity towards others,

is being an enemy to yourself.

That's why you must regard

enemies as friends.

Understood?

Does it mean I must make

friends with the Chinese?

Gandhiji said...

...harbouring hatred will consume

your belief.

But how?

Think about it.

Think about it?

If I befriend the Chinese,

will my belief grow?

Yes!

Gandhiji never hated

the English.

Ok. I'll make friends and bring

my brother home.

Your brother?

My belief will help me bring

Bharat back home. Yes?

If God wills it.

Why would God not wish it?

Or not want it?

You're right.

When my belief is stronger,

I can move mountains, right?

Of course. Why not?

Son, what have you against

your zipper?

Pull it up!

Hey you Chinese kid!

You nuts?

You hit my head and chest.

What next?

I can't make friends with

those crazy people.

Gandhiji's ways are not easy.

Even if Gandhiji came back to life,

he could not befriend them.

Come forward.

You tried to burn their house.

How can they befriend you
