You and I have a bond from yore
That Is why you make my heart soar
Know It or not
Admit It or not
It's our group's special song.
Really? Is that why you've been croaking from Cuffe Parade?
What lies! We started at Churchgate.
That's where bums like you all sing.
Know It or not
She's so funny no?
Know It or not
- Jiggy, my piggy! - Yes, Shaleen, my... darleen?
- When's your flight taking off? - Meaning?
- When are you telling Mala? - What?
Come to me, I am your love
She agreed to a date after I swore it was just friendship.
The 'L' word will get me a kick in the butt.
Jignesh, you're a stud!
You've brought an air hostess to the airport on a date?
Why don't we go inside? It's air-conditioned.
- Entry is forbidden. - Forbidden? Why?
A bomb threat, I think.
So we have to roast here?
I don't believe this
"Come along, Mala. We're a really fun group."
"It'll be so much fun!"
Tell me, Jiggy, why am I at the airport on my day off?
Our special friends are coming...
- So bring them flowers! Sweets! - We did.
Why bring me?
I don't even know them and I'm here receiving them like an idiot.
I hate air ports
I love airports
When people meet after ages, every meeting has a story.
I know... stories!
I hate stories.
- Especially ones which end at airports. - Why?
It's so easy! Sneaking in and stopping a plane!
Try it! You'll be gunned down like a terrorist.
Not very romantic, are you?
No, I hate romance
I mean, seriously guys
Miserable couples everywhere. Before marriage, fights and suspicion.
And after marriage, "We're bored."
Nope! Not when you find the right person.
Ah! "Made-for-each-other" crap.
Happens in Mills and Boons, not in real life.
It happens! Really!
Oh. Please tell me. I'm dying to know. Pretty please?
For that you'll have to hear a story, and you don't like stories.
What kind? A love story?
With a hero, heroine, villains?
Villains... not too many.
But there are fights, songs, misunderstandings?
Oh, full on!
And a climax at the airport? - absolutely
Sounds horrible
No thank you
Give it a go! The flight's delayed anyway.
I better not get bored, OK?
Shoot!
So, Mala, there's a boy and a girl...
This story begins...
...with a dream.
A man brandishing a sword,
like in a costume drama, and riding a horse.
- Is this your dream? - No.
- Then how do you know it? - Jai often has such dreams.
And Jai is?
The guy who's dreaming. Now listen!
I'll be right there.
Jai? - Emergency, mum
- But your exams? - It's Aditi.
She needs me.
I'm sorry. We tried our best.
But we couidn't save her.
I'd like to say a few words.
Radha is no longer with us.
I still remember the first time we met her.
Shining biack eyes,
such an innocent face on such a prankster.
She was with us a while. She touched our lives.
Aditi... we'll never forget Radha.
Come.
Let's pray that Radha finds happiness wherever she goes.
That she remembers us...
...and learns to catch mice.
Radha was a cat?
- A memorial service for a cat? - Oh, she had the last rites, too.
- Are you all nuts? - Not us. Aditi.
She found Radha in college and loved her like her own daughter.
Everything was extreme for Aditi.
Love, hatred, attachment...
Nothing was measured.
But how couid you take this seriousiy?
Actually, we found it silly, too.
But not Jai.
All Jai cared about...
...was Aditi's grief.
He just wanted to make her smile.
Sometimes, Aditi, you meet someone along the way
And It breaks your heart, when they go away
Eyes demand tears, It's hard to disobey
And belleve everything's gonna be OK!
Sometimes you feel so down and biue
Every day Is Ilke a bitter brew
It's hard to smile, feel happy or gay
And belleve everything's gonna be OK!
Think of how much we love you
When you cry, we cry wlth you
I can't hold a note, but I sing for you
Aditi, sometimes the worid Is a dark place
But the biackest nlght cracks wlth the dawn's rays
Sometimes you find a frlend along the way
Feels unreal, Ilke a dream, when they go away
Go on, Aditi, laugh a bit
Just a bit?
How about a smile? Go on!!!
!!! Glve us a Ilttie smile
Your happiness spreads joy all around
The sun emerges and warms the ground
Can you hear what the wind has to say?
"Aditi, frlends, though parted, meet again
"Know It or not, flowers biossom again"
Sometimes, Aditi, you meet someone along the way
And It breaks your heart, when they go away
Go on, Aditi, laugh a bit
Just a bit?
How about a smile? Go on!!!
Go on, Aditi, laugh a bit
Just a bit?
How about a smile? Go on!!!
- You had a crush on Aditi? - Smitten! And Bombs had a thing for Jai.
But Jai and Aditi were just in their own world.
You say the glass is half empty
I say It's half full
I say It's a lot
You say It's a Ilttie bit
If I say It's day
You say It Isn't nlght
Aren't they the same?
Just said differentiy
But at the end of the day
It's only you who understands me
Whether you know It or not
Whether you show It or not
I'm here!
It's Aunty Pammi.
Yes, Pammi?
Again?
No! That's useless.
Enough police complaints.
Write to the Commissioner if you wish. I'm going to the newspapers.
He's not going to change until he's suspended.
I'll see you in the office
this is the limit
- Your oid friend Inspector Waghmare? - Who else?
Brutally thrashed a teenager in lock-up.
Can you believe it?
I mean, that man...
His own baton should be...
Breath control. Inhale deeply, exhale siowly.
- You want breakfast? - Your turn?
Yours. But I'm in the mood.
I had that dream again.
What dream?
The same one. Some guy with a sword, riding a horse...
You forgot the pepper.
I'm not sure. I've felt this before.
I think it's dad.
Your dad? My husband?
Riding a horse? With a sword?
How could you?
- How could you even think this? - I just...
You know how much he hated violence.
Forget fighting, he couidn't bear to see anyone else fight.
And so he died.
He went to stop a quarrel and...
...and never returned.
It's just a dream. I can't do much about that.
The tragedy, Jai, is that you can even dream it.
And so Jai Singh Rathore, aka Rats,
was the most non-violent person in the worid.
Seriously, Gandhiji wouid weep with joy if he knew Jai.
And get spasms of acidity if he knew Aditi.
You're a coward! Your mom! Your dad!
Your whole family are cowards, craphead!
Jai, move! I'll fix him!
I'll show you who's the coward, you dog!
Vivek, are you mad, calling her a coward?
Not her, shithead! You!
Me?
Then, what's the probiem, Meow? Vivek, carry on.
Better bell your cat or you'll find her under my car.
That's where your mother found you! Jerk!
Jai, if she doesn't shut up, I'm gonna thrash your ass!
You think Jai's scared of you?
Go on, Jai, break his face!
Who, me?
Let me go, Nilesh, or I'll break your glasses!
Aditi, what are you doing? He will kill Jai.
I didn't want to fight.
But you leave me no choice.
I won't leave a thing, sonny. Just your remains.
Let's do it. Lesson time!
Really? You...
- What? - Your dad's the college trustee.
- So? - I'll be expelled if I beat you up.
I'll do the beating up, buddy.
And you'll get away scot-free!
Dude, you don't know my father. I'll get screwed more than you.
He'll give you a light warning and let you go, right?
Bullshit! He's Hitier reincarnated!
What'll he do?
He'll freeze my allowance. Bugger does that every time!
No shit!
How will you eat at the canteen?
Buddy, what are friends for? Like Nilesh here.
Treated him a million times, haven't I?
So sweet
Awesome friend.
By the way, Vivek...
...after this ends, we're cool, right?
Absolutely!
We're in college, Jai. It's not a gang war!
So then, you'd buy me a drink, right?
Of cause
Nandu! Two cokes!
Hey, Nilesh, pay up, buddy.
You shouid've seen Vivek's face.
He kept staring at his coke, totally flummoxed!
And no one had the balls to laugh!
But, Rats... you really shouid've punched that ass.
Didn't your mum wash your mouth with soap?
- So abusive! - Whatever!
Never seen a bigger coward in my life.
It's not about that, Meow.
I don't like fighting, you know that
Not even to save a friend?
Vivek is not a friend
And he needed saving more than you.
You're chicken!
Aditi, that's not fair
You're insulting Rats!
Don't call him rats. Only I call him Rats, OK?
Shut up, Bombs!
What's up with you?
I was...
...she's just picking a fight with Aditi.
Look... I don't like getting into scraps!
Mum promised dad on his deathbed that I'd never raise my hand to anyone.
So you can call me coward, chicken, whatever...
...it makes no difference.
hold on, hold on
If someone is rude to me, it makes no difference to you?
If someone raises a hand to me, it still makes no difference.
You won't get into a scrap. Right?
Right
Poor guy - I know
He was just following his dad's...
Dreams?
...principles.
Actually, his mother had modified the truth a bit.
She had portrayed Jai's dad as a Gandhi-Buddha combo.
In reality, Amar Singh Rathore was... siightiy different.
Amar, I'm warning you for the last time.
Get out of Jai's dreams.
Then stop turning him into a coward.
I feel ashamed of him.
He's a Rathore...
A Rathore from Ranjhore!
If I wanted a Rathore from Ranjhore,
I wouid have stayed in Ranjhore.
You, your family... You are all insane!
Insane, psychotic, violent...
...men!
Jai's a simple boy who doesn't raise his hand unnecessarily.
When will you cut that umbilical cord, woman?
My dear, Savitri...
Just because he's been cut off from his tradition,
will he not try to be true towards his tradition?
You can take the Rathore out of Ranjhore
But you cannot take the Ranjhore out of the Rathore
Mark my words, Savitri.
One day he will make all of Ranjhore,
all the Rathores, all Rajasthan proud.
And you shall behoid him in silence!
Exactly
The Rathores from Ranjhore took their machismo pretty seriousiy.
And so after Amar Singh's death, Savitri ran away.
Jai was just... five years oid then!
In Ranjhore, a boy has to complete three rites of passage to become a man.
- What? - Not now, Jiggy.
But she has to know the three conditions to get the story!
You don't know how to tell a story. Right thing at the right time.
Right time being the end of the story?
Stop it, you two
What happened, then?
We jump to our graduation day. A farewell party at Aditi's house.
Where Aditi's dad gave Jai a cheque for a million rupees to forget Aditi.
Shit really? I don't know
Bombs, she's pulling her leg, why are you tripping?
OK, don't do that again. seriously
But Peachy and Pumpkin are the worid's coolest parents.
Rotlu! Where are you? Sit!
We're talking about that scrap the other day.
Check out the claw marks.
Let's dance
Dance? Me?
A littie bit... one dance?
Rotlu... my sweet Rotlu!
If I dance, the whole party will shift to the garden.
Jai, let's dance - sure, wait a sec
Come on, Meow!
Dance tonight or you'll never dance in your life.
Breaking News! I can't dance!
No, only pappu can't dance
Who's Pappu?
Come to the floor. I'll show you!
He's muscular!
He's popular!
He's muscular, he's popular! Spectacular! He's a bachelor!
Pappu's car Is the fastest, To babes, he's the coolest
his eyes are light blue, his skin an Italian hue
A Rado on his wrist, Gucci on his body
But Pappu can't dance, baby!
Yeah! Pappu can't dance, baby!
wenna may I see you when you dance in the hall
and a wenna may I see you when you dance, hey!
Pappu was born a lucky sprout
A silver spoon in his mouth
Pappu's rolling In money
He's swimming in it, honey
Everyone's best buddy
He's a dude, he's a dandy
But Pappu can't dance, baby!
Yeah! Pappu can't dance, baby!
his dad says he'll be famous someday
My Pappu's a genius, they're gonna say!
Pappu's got an MBA
France is where he holidays
With a guitar, he's lazy
Can charm you Iike crazy
But Pappu can't dance, baby!
What's to discuss?
Maybe she's not ready for marriage.
So we'll just discuss an engagement.
Aditi's twenty now. She's been with Jai for five years.
Before tongues start wagging in the family,
let's make an announcement.
What do you think?
Yes... or else a million proposals will start coming.
So shouid I speak to Jai's mother?
Let's talk to Jai first.
Solid rocks
- Another. - Easy, buddy.
Make it strong
What's up, Rotlu?
Tell me.
Nothing.
I just wish...
...that I had someone.
Had whom?
Just someone.
Someone who has eyes only for me.
And I for her.
And nothing else means shit.
Like Jai and Aditi.
Me, too.
Only you
How I wlll Ilve wlthout you?
Oh, Moon
Step on the land of my heart
If there be love
Then come, come to me
Or else, If not
Bury me In the ground
Rotlu, stop crying!
Hey, Jiggy, your turn.
What song will you sing when you find love?
Me?
Just a second.
Come to me!
I am your love
O Lord, your rejection!
Come to me! Come to me!
Jai, what will you sing?
Sorry , that's secret
Only she will hear that song.
Rats, sing or get smacked.
Hey, don't do us a favour.
Give us a full demo!
You and I have a bond from yore
That Is why you make my heart soar
Know It or not, Admit It or not
Know It or not!!!
Amit, You son of a bitch
One, you're ugly.
Two, you're poor.
Three, you croak. Which girl will like you?
Some poor, ugly girl who sings worse than me.
Sad
Aditi's rich. Or else you couid marry her.
Amit, don't be a ass
Go to your room, or you'll get slapped!
I was in my room, peacefully reading,
when you tone-deaf toads disturbed me.
This is my home, too.
So tell these freaks to beat it.
Come out, you jerk! Open the door!
Come out, you dog!
Even Peachy and Pumpkin are worried.
He just stays in his room all day.
- He doesn't work. He doesn't study. - He paints.
Bullshit!
He just needs sychatrist
Hey, he's sharper than all of us.
Are you nuts?
He insults you more than anyone else.
Aye.
To get a reaction.
What kind of reaction?
Your anger.
Jai, good night
Pick you up for college tomorrow?
Really?
What happened?
She just remembered college is over.
Sit. I'll get you water. Sit!
Oh, poor baby
So what's next? Further studies or?
I haven't thought about it. How did five years go by so quickly?
Mostiy on the phone, my love!
Jai said that you're thinking about film school?
But dad wants me to do an MBA.
He has a point
Though I feel we really need some intelligent film makers.
How long will they keep making these popcorn flicks?
Violence, melodrama.
Aditi's all for melodrama.
Ah, you don't say
Do you really believe him, Aunty?
Hey, Peachy wants to meet you tomorrow morning.
Why?
Forgotten your promise?
Goodbye college, welcome to the family!
Is the suit rented or was it daddy's?
Not everyone can have your style.
I wonder...
...you're always so sweet, so polite, don't you bore yourseif?
Amit, shut up
Your bodyguard's here!
"Don't say nothing to my Jai. The poor baby will feel hurt!"
I am warning you
- I didn't say a thing last night. - Really?
"Come out, you jerk! Open the door. I'll show you!"
He started it!
Don't want to hear it.
We have a guest in the house. Now try to look human!
Somebody look handsome - somebody look gorgeous
So you're interviewing me together?
Interview?
You know why you are here, yes?
I can guess
So, are you ready?
Yes.
I'm thinking about an MBA. But that can wait till later.
Of course!
But son, are you sure?
Absolutely!
Got to do something for money.
- For money? - Not just money.
Status
Respect
Success
Everything begins here.
Is money that important?
I wouidn't be so happy if it was just money.
I love you guys
Staying with you, I'll feel right at home.
And your mother?
She'll be delighted. She's been waiting for this day.
How's it going, guys?
Jai's been very frank with us. He's doing this for money.
Obviously, so?
And after marriage, he wants to live with us.
Marriage!
Whose? Who's living with us?
You want to marry me?
- Who's talking about marriage? - What have we been talking about?
- About a job! - What job?
Didn't you say that when college ends, I shouid join you?
What's this marriage business?
How can you even think that?
How do I know? Ask your parents
They didn't want to marry?
But, that's crazy
"Love from day one," you said. "Made for each other," you said.
Like us, Aditi's parents were also confused.
The fact is, Jai and Aditi were not in love.
Not in love?
Of cause not
- How couid you think this? - What's to think?
Always together or on the phone.
Glued together for five years, we thought...
Ever consider asking me?
God this is so embarrasing
Thanks for asking, but there is no "us".
You really don't want to marry?
Mom, please
We are sorry
And we're both very embarrassed...
Seriousiy now.
Maybe not to each other, but you do intend getting married, right?
When we like someone, in that way.
"Someone"? And how will you find that "someone"?
When someone's there to be found.
And how many boys have you noticed in the last five years?
Mr Right couid be sitting right next to you,
and you two wouid be laughing at him.
And if you ever found this "someone",
wouid they be OK with your friendship?
Look, it's your life, so think carefully about it.
All of us want to find someone special. But how?
You two are so special to each other.
Rotlu, be frank. Say you loved Aditi, wouid you have a probiem?
Me?
I wouidn't even mention it. I mean, you and Aditi...
We won't find anyone in life!
Nonsense
We will find that special person. That is certain.
Even if he's in hiding.
"He"? Rats, you looking for a guy?
Aye. For thee.
You know each other so well.
You shouid find "love" for each other. No?
Perfect plan
Jai, if Aditi introduces you to a girl and plays Cupid to your romance,
why wouid she have a probiem with Aditi?
Guys, that's brilliant!
I'll find you a stupid, silly, romantic girl...
...and you find me a tough stud.
- What do you say? - Superb.
You're with us, right?
Our time has come. Gimme five!
Perhaps, like Rotlu and Bombs, we may all find someone special.
They're with me.
Fat
Hey, I toid you there'd be a cover charge.
I can't come. Come on, Bombs, we'll go somewhere else.
Rotlu, stop crying!
Rotlu, you're always whining.
Jiggy, pay up.
Hurry, our love awaits us.
As soon as I get a job...
- Just keep counting. - Me, too.
Here, son! Park with care.
Sorry, sir. We don't park horses
Give them some water, too.
Did two guys just come on horseback to the disco?
I love the city
Anything's possibie here!
They'll never find anyone else.
I don't get why they're not in love with each other.
- Jiggy, get the car. - What?
- Just start the car, I'll be right there. - Don't try to be a hero.
These guys are dangerous
Shut up, Rotlu. Jai, fight...
Come on baby, let's go for a ride, I'll show you my style
Baby, one last dance
You!
- You want a beating, too? - One minute.
Please stay away from her. This is a private matter.
- I went to the doctor. - Why?
My tests came back.
You knew, didn't you?
You knew and you still came on to me that night.
- Why, Nalini? - Who? What?
Stop it!
I know the hideous beast that hides behind this innocence.
How many more are you going to infect?
When will you stop pouring that venom from your vengeful urn?
What have they done to you?
Why infect the furniture of their youth with termites of death?
Look...
...I'm taking her to a hospital.
- Any probiem? - No.
Don't worry.
It doesn't spread by touch.
Come, Nalini.
No!
Never!
Let me go.
I will have my revenge.
I will infect everyone. Let me go.
Never. It's wrong! Come with me!
Meghna, right? - right
You've already met Jai.
That's Bombs, Rotlu, Shaleen, Jiggy and me, Aditi, Jai's best friend
Just a friend!
I see
Everyone thought I was dating Jai. But it's not true!
Guys, were we dating ever?
Surely not. - Never
How about some coffee?
It's late. I shouid go.
One coffee?
I am really getting late, you guys carry on
I'll drop you - OK
We're gonna go
Jai, take the car!
Shall we?
Let's walk
Jai Singh Rathore! Isn't it a littie heavy?
My grandfather wanted to name me Zohravar Singh Rathore.
Pet name: "Zorro"
Then?
Mom offered to jump from the third floor of our ancestral villa.
Grandfather forgot the villa had just two storeys.
Ancestral villa?
So you're really His Royal Highness Prince Jai Singh Rathore?
Well, your friends certainly think you're a prince.
They couidn't stop talking about you.
I think that was for you.
For my sake?
Why?
So you refused to marry Jai.
Is it because he's poor or ugly?
Amit, I'm in no mood to fight.
- Sit for two minutes? - Your house. Your bum.
You really love the mouse
No we are just friends
We used to be friends, too, Amit.
What happened?
When did you go so far away?
Did I go away?
I was thinking today...
...how come dad took charge of every new factory?
Why not one of his brothers?
- So? - So I hated it.
Change homes, change schools.
Are you mad, I loved it
New place, new school, new friends...
Remember Gwalior?
Of cause
- And your friend, that Chinese girl? - Chia!
Cute girl
And in Bangalore, that boy I used to tease you about.
Rana! A complete idiot.
The worst was Miss Cochin... Raj Laxmi Aiyer!
The poor thing did all my homework.
Remember any of my friends?
Shit
Not one!
That's because I only had one friend.
I didn't go far away.
Others got closer to you.
So I had other friends.
So what?
How does that affect us?
Really?
So let's say whatshisname... Ah, Jai...
Let's say Jai meets someone.
You'll have to share his time. Won't it bother you?
Of cause not
Like today. I found him a girifriend.
- But we're cool because... - You did what?
Found Jai a girifriend.
Found Jai a girifriend!
Jai, what's this?
cement..? - No, silly
This is a giant.
He's swallowed a naughty littie eif who's running around in his belly.
"Naughty littie eif"?
Meghna always played this game.
The worid is not what it seems. Everything is magical.
She used to call the game "What's This?"
For example, what's this?
A trolley loaded with luggage.
This is a giant cake.
With chocolate, biueberry and strawberry icing.
With a cherry on top
Good night - good night Jai
- It was lovely to meet you. - Same here.
Right, Meghna, that,I..
We'll meet again?
We'll meet again.
Good night - good night
If I'm ever in troubie again, will you be there to save me?
Definitely
I'm going to see the new Bond film tomorrow.
PVR Cinema. 8:00pm.
I'll be alone.
Will you be there if something happens?
Rats! Idiot, where were you? Did you go to Poona to drop her home?
Ooh! A long walk, huh?
For God's sake, get yourseif a mobile phone! I'll buy you one.
To hell with your privacy.
Never mind, tell me.
What happened?
You got her number?
What?
Yeah... very cute.
Yes, quite amazing!
Rats, now you'll get siapped. Stop sighing so much.
So did you sing your song?
- Song? - Know It or not
Are you nuts? She wouid've thrown a coin at me and walked off.
But you're happy, right?
Now to find you a sweet littie boy.
Rats, if I wanted a sweet boy, I'd have fallen for you.
I want a man, someone who can take care of me
Who'd knock out a guy's teeth for messing with me.
Know someone like that?
Actually, I'm meeting someone just like that tomorrow.
Shut up, who?
Bond, James Bond
Wlth Meghna?
- Where? - PVR!
- What time? - 8! :00pm!
Hey, Jai! You're here?
slimeballs! Why are we here?
Watching a film! And we have two extra tickets.
Really? Show me!
Shall we?
See you in the interval.
Rats... are you sitting separately?
- Yup. Why? - Nothing.
Jai, you shouid sit with your friends.
I'm here with you.
So Jai was happy. And we were happy for him.
But no one noticed how hard Aditi was trying to be happy.
You say this Is Iife
It wlll never change
I say everything wlll change
Everything but you
I say!!! Only you
No one for me but you
You say I belong to you
To no one else but you
All said and done, even in a crowd, It's just you and me
Stop the car!
What's this?
What this? It's a hand cart!
Nope! Meghna, you go.
This is... an ancient cannon!
I was thinking rocket launcher!
It's a handcart!
You won't get it
Want a siap? I'm more imaginative than you!
Really? So..
What's this?
biack lightning!
You know lightning?
That's biack in colour...
A witch. That's her hat, and there's her broom.
I was thinking just that.
A witch who is extending her claws to catch kids!
Let's go, Meow!
Where are you going?
To drop her home.
How much more can you drop her? We're at her doorstep.
I know.
Carry on.
Don't be an idiot. I'll drop you off.
What?
Jai, you carry on
You won't find a taxi at this hour.
What's this?
It's a good night kiss
What happened to you, Meow?
I wanted to drop her off, chat with her a bit...
- What? - Go.
Go. Take your time saying goodnight.
I always drop you home, Jai
