The patient has been here for 3 months... Vegetative state
Sometimes we observe brain activity.
He is under continual medication...
...but nothing helps.
This is a ventilator... to pump oxygen.
He cannot breathe on his own?
No sir, his life is controlled by these machines.
Hmmm... If I remove this, there should be no problem right?
No patient, no case...
Yes sir...
...He will die peacefully.
Poor fellow... why don't you remove it?
Are you scared of God?
Camera...
First it needs to be determined whether it is a murder or suicide attempt.
This is definitely a murder attempt sir!
Why would he want to commit suicide?
Even if the investigation leads to a result, what can the court do?
Euthanasia is banned in our country anyway right?
If a body cannot survive without life support...
...the court may allow it.
Sir... - Oh, Kempmju, how are you?
I am fine sir! - You are looking very smart!
And yet no one wants to marry me...
Hmm... what is this new headache?
What is the boss saying?
Sir, I have told him the investigation is on...
But he is behind some detective.
Have you shown him the investigation reports?
You know him he won't bother reading.
Hmm... how is the new detective?
I'm meeting him for the first time too.
Please come, sir...
Your boss has called me to a bar early in the morning?
Ask him yourself, Sir!
Please come, Mr. Deepak...
How are you, sir? - Sit down.
Meet Mr. Sanjay from Mumbai Branch.
This is Mr. Deepak from Crime Branch.
We are working on this case.
Give us some time...
we will come out with the results.
Don't take this personally...
the minister is under pressure.
In such cases, a lot of people will lay claims...
this is a very sensitive case.
Ok sir. - Sanjay, he will brief you about the case.
Please discuss with him.
Sir!
Does he know Kannada?
I know a little sir...
I have assigned your old partner to your team.
Thank you, sir! - I hope you give me quick results.
Hey! wake up!
Pucchi! I gave you a box that day, Where is it?
Which box, brother?
The box I gave you for safekeeping...
That brown box...
Brother, what are you doing?
You dirty fellow! I asked you to clean up this place!
...Brother, there is nothing in the box, it's all very dirty...
It's all very dirty...
Don't reveal my name to anyone!
Don't tell anyone what we did!
Take this money and go to hell!
Brother, I too will come with you.
I'll kill you if I spot you again!
Leave this place quickly!
What are you still doing here?
Do you want to die?
Move aside!
Brother, what are you doing? Kerosene is expensive!
Oh God!
Brother...
Don't kill yourself brother!
Why, what happened?
Get up! Make way!
Hey you! Stop!
Do you see this part?
Please read this...
After I finished work at the talkies at night...
I was heading home. I was having food from a food cart...
a girl was going on a scooter with her father
I was watching them.
And when she went a little ahead, her bag fell off.
These are cinema folks, this must be a story.
What is this?
Hello...?
Ok I am coming.
Tell me who else is there? Spit it out!
Sir, I don't know what you are talking about!
I don't know anything about this, please let me go!
Tell me how many people are involved!
Tell me the truth!
Get up I say! You're going to get it today.
You don't know anything right?
See what I'll do...
Sir, please come here. He's there.
Please come, Mr. Sanjay, welcome to my real office.
Did he reveal anything?
We are preparing him... come let's see.
Hey, what happened?
These rascals are hale and hearty.
My hand is a little sore...
Did he say anything?
I'll make them squeal!
Ask anything you want.
Sanjay, all yours.
Look darling, answer all his questions correctly.
What is this?
I don't know... I don't know!
Sir, he's out...
What now?
The other piece is there.
It is very soft, it will speak.
Hey item...
will you speak up or what?
What is this?
What?
Lucia...
Ninety lakh damned fools in Bangalore...
like sheep in a pen!
Me, I am another innocent lamb.
My name is Nikki...
...hey! Not lkki! Nikki!
I am from a small village near Mandya.
I got tapped in this bloody circus three years ago.
Thank god, my parents stayed back.
No worries about accommodation...
Thanks to my chuddy buddies.
Our Shankmnna, he owns this talkies...
lam a torch shiner in the theatre.
The rogue, Shankmnna, has great affection for me.
Like a son!
Hey! Go do your work I say! Go man!
Life is great, but...
I can't sleep at night!
"LOVE POEM"
Look at that guy pissing on the wall
Let's take his trip... time pass!
Yes sir.
Bring him here.
Right, sir.
Hands up!
What... who?
Up! Raise your hand. - Didn't do anything...
Up! Raise your other hand up. - Can't sir! I'll wet my pants!
Up with the other hand... - Cannot sir!
I'll shoot you I say!
Haha... come, sir is calling.
Tie up your pants before they fall off!
Go that way!
Get over here!
What are you doing out this late?
Sir... couldn't sleep...
that's why I stepped out sir.
Where are you from?
From a village near Mandya, sir!
Get into the jeep, let's go to the station.
What have I done sir?
Standing in front of a girl's poster at night... indecent behavior in public!
Which girl sir?
Sir, I haven't done anything sir, let me go. I'll go home quietly.
Why are you laughing sir? - Are you drunk?
Sir, upon my mother, I don't drink anything but water.
Open your mouth!
Thoo! How long since you brushed your teeth?
Sir, my honor...
Drive!
Sir... sir... Sir! - Drive!
Sir! My loincloth! Sir... sir... Sir!
Inspector sir, please sir, give it back!
Oh damned fool, please give it back! Sir... sir... Sir!
Have you no wife or children?
Take my shorts as well!
Had it been my village, I would have taken your trip!
Hey!...call him here!
Got a cup of coffee or tea?
What is this midnight comedy of yours brother?
Damn me as well! No sleep, and so much heat!
I come out, and run into these rascals!
You can't sleep?
Every morning, I feel like an owl, my head feels all wrong.
We have sleeping pills... want some?
Pills for sleep? Really?
We have pills for everything!
Please give me some, let's see if it works...
Get up! Come with me.
Brother, I have nothing on me
Please don't ask for money
Today is my birthday. I'll give it for free.
Really? May you sleep on your wedding night as well!
Brother, where are the pills?
Come on!
Keep going!
I am going, no need to push!
Come on!
Come on, keep moving.
Someone's come, baby.
I know, baby.
Haven't I seen this guy somewhere?
Huh... it's my face!
Hey, brother, I am on camera!
Yes, yes, you are the hero!
We sleep for about 2 lakh hours in our lifetime.
In your case, you can't sleep at all.
Lucky fellow!
Damn my luck! My head feels like it has been minced!
They said you'll give me a sleeping pill.
Give me a dose for a day or two. I'll take it and pass out.
Why waste your time only with a sleeping pill?
What does that mean, brother?
You take my pills...
Not just sleep, you'll also have good dreams!
Is that so brother?
When you are awake, you lead your sorry life.
But when you're sleeping, you will live the life you want.
Oh! What's the big deal about dreams? They come and go.
Hey fool, you take my pill,
and you will have just ONE dream,
Like a mega serial, it will keep going on.
Mega serial or a folktale...
All I want is sleep.
Every night, before you hit the bed, take this.
It looks like a laxative. What is it called?
What if I take this and die?
Whatever must happen will happen...
Once you start taking this, you must not stop.
Else your dream will become a NIGHTMARE!
Life will become difficult!
Nikki, hey Nikki!
Get up! Why are you sleeping here?
Why not sleep in the vanity van?
It's fine!
Shall I cancel the shooting? Shall we go home?
No, let's go on... It's already late Hand over the costume...
I was sitting on the chair, suddenly I dozed off.
I guess everyone must be waiting.
Wear the costume.
Which song are we shooting now?
This song is absurd... Some fellow called Bhat has written it...
It's terrible.
Don't worry, it'll be a hit anyway...
Let's finish quickly and leave...
Sir, do you want anything?
Bring me some juice...
Hello, Mr. Nikhil, nice to see you again!
Like your manager asked,
We have provided you with maximum security
...you don't need to worry about anything now
We'll take care of you.
Security he says! Just two constables!
Hey Mahadeva, how is everything? How are the kids?
All doing fine, sir.
Careful! The crane might break!
Sir, coffee? - No, he's asked for juice...
Hi Kamini, looking hot!
Hi Sir!
I am so happy you know,
I have been waiting to do a song with you!
Finally I got a chance! - Same here!
Thank you, thank you!
Dance master! All set?
How are you sir?
I am very happy you are doing this film.
If you give us permission, we will start shooting right away.
What do you say? - Let's get started.-
Ok, touch up!
Hey, come here!
Some freshening up.
Okay... Mirror...
Spray please...
How come you are sleeping like a log today?
Get up and get to work!
Make one strong tea! - Sleeping like a bloody log!
Speak up, Shiva!
What has made you like this?
Why have you become so weak?
Speak up, Shiva! What is your worry?
I passed high school...
...but jailed in have.
I passed high school...
...but jailed in have.
Your story or mine
It's the same sadness
Where do I start?
It ends even before I begin
Just when you think it's done...
...it starts again.
A girl rang the be“ of my heart
And smiled like n blossoming ﬂower
An old vanity bag left without stepping in
In the smile of her eyes I saw a teardrop
In the heat of moonlight
A dog whelped
A coffin for the dead moon
Can we find?
I wrote such n line
On the back of an auto rickshaw
Passed high school, but failed in have
Passed high school,
0k, Shiva!
Stop, Shiva!
Bye, Shiva!
Sleep now, Shiva!
Shankmnna, it's time for the show...
Not even ten tickets have been sold.
Please listen to me...
If you show Tamil or Telugu films...
morning shows will run houseful.
I am not so desperate.
I only show Kannada films in my theatre.
Hmm... ok Shankmnna...
why don't you show a "special" film?
What does "special picture" mean?
See...
Small budget...
Brother, please let me go!
How dare you suggest this?
How dare you? This is my father's theatre.
It's not for prostitution.
Let me go, Nikki!
There she is, mun. Let's catch her!
Let me go!
Please let me go...
Move it! - Gnni! Gnnim!
Get going!
Shut up! Do you know who I om?
I don't care who you are.
Let my Guni come...
...he'll take cure of all of you!
Let him come...
We know what to do
Tie her up! - Let me go!
This one is a proud peacock!
Take special care of it!
Hello...hey!
When are you bringing the money?
Gani!
Shut her up!
I'll take care of you myself!
Don't call me again.
Sir, we have a ﬂat tire It'll take 10 minutes.
Sir, hi!
How come you are here?
I have a ﬂat tire.
Shall I drop you? - No, it will be done in two minutes...
No, it's ok. My house is close by...
No thanks, I'll manage. - Please come.
Ok.
Finish quickly!
Yes!
I am very happy you are coming home.
I can't believe it.
Ok.
Hey, stop here...
What happened? -It's a ﬂat tire...
Where is Nikki? - He has gone with the heroine.
Hey, get it done and come.
What's with this new vehicle?
Sir, I made you wait for a long time...
Are you comfortable?
What would you like to have?
No thanks. I don't want anything.
Don't be formal.
What is your band?
No, thanks.
I'll be leaving in a few minutes.
What is the hurry?
We can watch a movie, get dinner.
There is a pool outside.
We can even go for a long drive.
Anything you want, sir.
Hello...
Hey Nikki, what are you doing in her house?
Hmm...
lam outside. Come let's go.
Ok.
My vehicle is here.
Thank you. I will leave now.
The thing is...
Nikhil...
I love you...
Gnni!
I knew you would definitely come.
I love you Sowmyn.
I have you too Gnni!
Why are you throwing those things?
Don't throw the reels, I say...
Listen to me. Don't you have brains?
Come on, please stop it...
Hey, baldy!
You are acting like one of these movie villains!
He is just a torch shiner.
Let him go. I will come next month.
I don't like this kind of work.
I have to pay them for breaking things...
and you have to pay them for putting it together.
I will prepare the documents by next month.
Come to the sub-registrar's office and sign them.
Alright, even I am tired of showing films in this theatre.
Not a soul comes to watch.
Raze it down and build a big mall.
Give me a security guy's job here.
Hey, let that boy go.
Why the hell are you on the ﬂoor?
Idiot! Go do your work.
Why don't you stay? Have lunch and go.
I will come next month. Don't miss it.
Ok, ok, I'll do it.
Escort him carefully...
he's had an open heart surgery.
He's a nice guy.
Oh God! I am seeing this for 15 years.
Hey Nikki, why are you so scared?
Their guns only had only dummy bullets.
Fifteen years ago, I had made a film.
This loafer only financed it.
That movie never released.
Now he wants me to write the theatre in his name.
My heart can stop...
...but the projector should keep running.
Hey get up! It's the interval
Why are you sitting as if stunned?
They'll keep coming and going...
...we can't worry about tall that.
What next for you?
Two plates gobi, with a little more spice...
What else?
Dad, go slowly...
And please balance the bike properly...
You refuse to buy a car.
A car?
Dad, one minute...
Stop!
Did the bag fall? - Oh look at this!
All because of you!
I told you I'll come by auto!
By saving fifty rupees, will you marry me off in a palace?
Oh God! Don't you want the bag?
Hang on a minute.
I'll take an auto from next time.
Let's leave.
Thank you.
Cough...
Cough some more.
You are alright.
See, he's been shot at close range...
minor injuries, but he's fine.
I will give you a detailed report.
Ok. Thank you.
No problem.
How are you doing? Are you in pain?
Nikhil, did you get any threat calls?
I told you he got two calls.
One call came in the morning.
Big stars get extortion calls like this.
They attacked you with rubber bullets.
They didn't want to harm you.
It might be rubber bullets but look at the injuries.
Can you identify anyone from these pictures?
Have a look, sir.
This might be him.
Show me.
Ok, Nikhil.
Don't worry. I will personally take care of this case...
...thank you.
Sir, please don't tell anything about the heroine to the media.
See, it's too early to give out anything about the case.
We are proceeding with the investigations, don't worry.
Who is behind this?
No, sir, we are investigating. Everything will come out.
See, the heroine has no role in the incident.
Why are you dragging her in?
Show me the piece on the top.
This pink-colored one?
How much did you say this is?
Six thousand rupees...
It's a little expensive.
Show me something else.
I'll be back in a minute...
Oh, no problem.
Sir...
how come you are here?
Who is this girl?
I don't know sir...
...head office sends the posters to us...
...we just put them up
Why sir, for your next film?
Do you have her photo or address?
No address sir, but pictures...
...just a moment.
The other day I was showing this catalogue to a customer...
I thought I saw her picture somewhere here.
Oh, there it is.
Can I take these?
Please return them in two days, sir.
Yeah, sure. - Ok sir. Thank you.
Please come again.
Where is my seat?
A6.
Please come...
Be careful. Come...
Hey, you monkey, move your leg!
Please come...
- Hi!
Hi!
Hello!
Hi!
See the film there...
Hey Raja, send special cool drinks and popcorn to A6.
Put it on my tab.
Why brother, has your sister come?
No, it's your sister who has come. Send it, man.
Right, brother.
Shankmnna, my girl has come to the theatre.
Your girl?
Yes, please come inside and see her.
Hey, let me go. I have to change the reel.
I don't have the time. - See, there she is!
Where?
Are you blind?
She's sitting in A6...
That must be her brother.
Hey Nikki
Hands off, man!
0k, See you guys, bye!
Hey, come close to my girl again...
...and it'll be my chopper talking.
Be careful!
Cut it!
Super sir, sir!
Super sir...
Can I remove the makeup?
Sir, one last shot...
...please rest meanwhile.
Hey, cool drinks for sir!
Super sir!
The fight came out well.
Tell me what you want. I will get it for you.
Can I get some water?
Boss, can I get some water?
Hey, go bring him in.
Ok, sir.
Sir is asking you to come in.
Be quick!
Hello, sir.
Hmmm...what's your name?
AWE“, sir
Bring a chair.
It's ok.
Hold this.
Arya...
Brother, chair...
...what were you doing earlier?
Modelling, sir...
As in, wearing clothes and walking on a stage?
Yes sir.
Were you getting paid?
Yes sir.
Do you have a girlfriend?
No sir.
Seriously? - No I am not in touch with anybody.
Go get ready for the shot.
Learn to fight properly. - Ok sir.
He is a criminal.
He was involved in other cases also.
He has also made threat calls before...
If you ask me, he is definitely involved in this murder attempt case.
What about this girl?
This is where the case becomes a bit confusing.
Reports and evidences show her as a suspect.
Have you taken a statement from her?
She didn't say much.
She was present when the incident happened.
She told us what happened there.
I think it is all lies.
I want to read the statement, please bring it.
Yeah.
Sir, there was a call from the lab...
...they need more samples for testing.
Sir, I don't get one thing.
What's the connection between the tablet and the murder attempt?
God alone knows...
Where can one find this "Lucia" tablet?
Please look for it.
See, any way you argue the law, this will be a murder.
Tomorrow, he might just sit up.
Who are you to say it won't happen?
See, the patient is alive only because of external life support...
...and if you remove it, it's only a matter of minutes...
Now the patient is alive only because of a machine.
He may be in pain because of the machine.
We will be responsible for that.
The two of you are only talking about his body...
What about his mind?
Ok. Should n patient in coma...
...surviving only an life support...
...be kept alive?
Or should the machine support be removed...
and he be allowed to die in n natural manner?
What would the mindset of n coma patient be like?
Haw will his brain be functioning?
Could he be dreaming?
Let's find out after n short break.
No please sir, don't hit me!
Sir!
Where can we find this "Lucia" pill?
Look sweetheart...
I am going crazy over this...
“don't make me angry.
It's made at a factory near Peenya...
Ok, make the call...
Do it!
And do as I said.
Sir, this is Pmshanth speaking...
What happened to Ravi?
Sir, Ravi is not in town.
Sir, somebody I know wants to meet you.
Why?
He wants to be a distributor.
Does he have money?
Yes, sir. Rich party.
Ok, bring him near the factory.
Ok, sir.
Hey sweetheart...
you act well.
Go in plainclothes to avoid suspicion.
Who else will be on your team?
I will go.
Why do you want to take the risk?
Let the police do their job.
You don't worry about that.
Let him come sir. I'll take care of it.
Come, sweetheart, I'll buy you new clothes.
Sanjay, you have to brush up your Kannada.
They might get a doubt otherwise.
Day after tomorrow, there is a song shooting.
The director gave this...
This is the song CD. These are the lyrics.
Get ready.
Read it.
Someone's beating on the drum of my heart
Words are singing in the corners of my mind
I feel like I am whistling with my fingers in my mouth
Jamma jamma jammma...
It sounds like a mass song.
Not to our taste.
One minute.
Did you find out anything about this girl?
No managers have heard of her.
Let me find out more.
Nikki, hey Nikki. Get up, son!
Hey, what is this? You keep sleeping everywhere.
Shankmnna, what's wrong with him?
Sorry, I am late.
Don't worry about getting your son married.
I have the horoscopes of all the single-but-ready to mingle girls.
Who is the boy?
Here he is.
Oh, dark complexion...
...not suitable for the girls in this file.
They prefer only "white" boys.
Education?
SSLC...
...not yet passed
These two files are also ruled out.
These girls require boys with degrees.
Salary?
Three thousand...
Per day?
Monthly
Oh, is that so? This one is also out then.
Minimum ten thousand.
Dowry?
Don't want any...we don't take dowry.
Sorry, none of these girls will get married without dowry.
Sir, are there any girls without any conditions?
This file I prepared yesterday. Some reject cases...
See if you like any.
Isn't she good looking?
Yes, yes, get her married to your husband.
This girl is beautiful no?
Is she also looking for a husband?
If her photo is here, obviously, she is looking for a husband. Not a house!
Show me who that is.
She is beautiful, Shankmnna!
Tell me about this girl.
Her name is Shwetha...
Born under an auspicious star...
...at 5:55 in the morning...
...no ill-omens follow her...
She works in a pizza parlour.
Her father owns a bakery...
Thus, by god's grace, there is no hunger in her future...
Her horoscope is on the computer...
...give me the boy's. I'll match them...
...we'll get them married. What do you say?
Clean the place up quickly. People will start coming in.
Take this. Put the yellow one there.
Sir, is Shwetha here?
Are you with Shwetha?
Sort of...
Why are you late?
Oh, did you know I was coming?
Is Shwetha here?
Ok, come. I will show you.
Sir, how do I look in this getup? Please look at me.
Sir, is this Shwetha's office?
Get him ready quickly.
Sir...Shwetha?
Yes, she will come. Get ready quickly!
Sir, please listen to me.
Come, hero sir... Come!
How's this?
I have arranged all this specially for you.
This item song is going to be a big hit!
What? An item song?
Yes. The song is nice...
...and the item is very very nice!
I don't do item songs!
What is this boss? You can't say things like this.
Let's pack up! I won't do this.
Haven't I already said I won't do item numbers?
Hey, Nikki, look there.
What?
Just look there.
Someone's beating on the drum of my heart
Words are singing in the corners of my mind
I feel like I um whistling with my fingers in my mouth
My legs move clumsily
Still I am dancing
Jnmmujnmmnjnmmmn...
Someone's beating on the drum of my heart
A ladder to climb the sky
A boat to sail around the earth
Soil to sow my dreams
I wish she could come to me just like these dreams
I will sell my old cycle
Be in debt forever
If she favours me
I'll place n cut-out of her in my tent
What can I say?
What shall I do?
If I meet Rnjniknnth on the street?
I got my act right after seeing her
Beauty drives boys crazy Is this right?
I climbed hills and doles
And swam across the ocean
I conquered forts and faced the spears
I have ta conquer the villains and win her heart
It's difiicuit, God it's difiicuit
If the male ego is wounded
You can't patch it like an old slipper
Her knjnl costs as much as my house rent
This is n problematic situation
This feels like a closed cauldron.
Excuse me...
your costume is very nice.
The children really enjoyed it.
It was really really nice.
Can I take a picture with you?
Come.
Please...
Thank you!
I want a photo as well.
Yeah, yeah, sure!
One minute!
Give it to me.
Ok,
Thank you, bye!
The girl is beautiful...
This is my daughter.
She lost her mother during childhood.
I raised her alone.
When she was younger, she accompanied me to the bakery.
Now she doesn't like to.
She works for an MNC...
...eight thousand per month...
She cooks very well.
Her coffee is ambrosia!
Although she has no mother, you have raised her well...
She's very sweet.
I have raised her with loving care.
She grew up dancing on my head.
Be careful that she doesn't slip...
What's your problem if my father-in-law is bald?
Can the girl and guy talk in private?
Yes, of course they can.
We are also very modern.
Yes, they can talk.
The coffee was very good...
Is it? Thank you.
My neighbour made it.
My father lies...
I don't know how to cook.
But I do!
So what do you do?
Shine a path to people lost in the dark...
...and put them in the right place.
Meaning?
In the theatre...
Oh a torch shiner?
Correct...
Shankmnna runs a talkies.
What does Shankmnna have?
Talkies!
Talkies?
Very funny...
So you get to watch movies for free?
Yes, four times a day, I watch the same movie for free.
I love movies!
You can make a lot of money...
Nice cars, nice clothes...
You can go to foreign locations...
Must be really nice.
But I only shine the torch...
Torch shiner?
You speak very well...
You were pretending to be an innocent lamb all this while...
Now tell me, arranged marriage or "loved" marriage?
Don't tease me.
It is I who came to see the girl...
...and you dyed your hair!
Be quiet!
Your boy is very smart.
Shankmnna,
Let's find an auspicious time and get them married.
If the girl comes home,
my boy will put on weight.
It's that broker's call.
Are you sure you are ready to commit?
Shall I fix the girl?
Enough fooling around. Talk to him...
Hello... hello...
Loan him some money if you have to...
...and get him a house.
How long can he live with those loafers?
How did she agree to marry you?
She's like milk...
and you are like gutter water...
Yes, I am ditch water and you are the shining moon.
Just eat quietly...
Shankmnna, when can we fix the wedding for?
The girl doesn't want to marry.
Let it go... - Why is that so?
Why are you getting so upset?
I'll find you a girl that looks like a heroine.
Nikki.
Why are you going away? Wait a minute...
That girl is not pretty...
She's just fair...
Hello.
Hello sir, I am Shwetha...
Which Shwetha?
I danced with you in that song...
Tell me which song?
Sir, last week...
Which one is that?
That one which goes "Somebody is beating the drum of my heart."
Oh that one!
You sing well I say.
Please don't joke with me.
Ok, tell me why you called.
Sir, I wanted to meet you once...
Where are you? I'll pick you up.
Thank you, thank you so much!
Ok, I'll see you in the evening...
Shwetha...
Somebody's come looking for you...
Oh God, why did he come here?
Ok, you come here...
Hello, how are you?
How come you are here?
I just wanted to talk to you.
Tell me...
I wanted to know why you told the broker you won't marry me.
Please, come sit down.
Or the manager will get upset.
I knew it.
You spoke to me so well that day too...
Please order...
Or the manager will cause trouble...
Papa John's...
He looks so nice, Why call him papa?
That is his name.
I can't figure out these things...
Pizza is my favourite. Shall I order?
Oh go ahead...
Ok! How about one tandoori chicken with fresh red onions...
...fresh green peppers, red paprika and golden corn?
Will that do?
O yes, go ahead.
So why did you tell the broker you won't marry me?
I'll just order and come...
Oh, who is this? Your boyfriend?
Are you on a date?
What is the bill amount?
Three ten...why?
Oh...
Please have some water.
The glass is nice...
Your order will be 620 rupees including tax...
You have the money right?
I am asking this because a lot of people walk in without realizing...
...while paying the bill they struggle.
You know how expensive things are today.
My salary is 8000 rupees...
...and still I have to struggle.
Let it be.
Today, in your theatre, sorry, talkies... don't you have to shine the torch?
So what Kannada movie is running now?
Shwetha!
Your order is ready, I'll just bring it...
Please wait.
Thank you for meeting me sir!
Don't call me sir... Please...
How can I call you by name sir?
Very simple. Nikki...Nikki...
sorry...
But you are my senior sir. How can I...?
I don't talk to people who call me sir...
Sir...Ok ...Nikki.
Tell me.
I don't know sir...
Sorry...Nikki,
I've been fond of acting since childhood.
People should admire me...
I should be famous...
...and people should always talk about me.
Is there a bigger curse than that?
I don't understand what you are saying...sorry
Do you know why we both are alone here?
Uh Yes' “refit we?
It's a nice place.
Because I have booked the entire pub for us.
Really? Wow!
But why?
For you.
Really...so we can chat peacefully.
See what you can do when you are a star!
What are you doing?
It's a competition...who among us will wind this down faster?
Are you ready?
Are you kidding me?
No...come on, 1...2...3...start!
Come on, quickly!
Shwetha,
Don't be afraid of me.
Only my complexion is dark...l am a good man...
That day when I visited you with my parents...
I realized how I must have hurt you.
I came apologize.
I have studied little, it takes time for me to understand...
You look beautiful...
...you'll find an educated guy, ok?
Torch shiners like me...
shouldn't dream of people like you...
I have a memory of yours...take this!
Please take it.
I'll see you.
Dad...dad!
How many times to tell you not to sleep in front of the TV?
Did you have food?
Sleep then...good night!
Good night...
My name is
Ravindmnath
I deal with...deal with... Deal with the mineral water business!
You will ruin our plan!
You can't speak proper Kannada!
Sir!
He is ready.
You will do only what we tell you to...
...your tricks won't work with us.
The three of you go in a car...
I'll follow you.
You guys go with sir.
Sanjay, are you ready?
Someone's beating on the drum of my heart
But the bent is too strong
It has begun to hurt
The brain filled with her memories
Torturing me to death
From my eyes they overﬂow
Drowning me in n jog.
Hello sir! - How far is it from here?
Hey, how far from here?
Just ahead...
Nearly there sir...
I'll be waiting ahead at that tea stall.
Right sir...
Sir, I will remain in the vehicle. My appearance can cause suspicion.
If you have any trouble, signal me sir...
I will come immediately.
Hello, sir, your three boxes are lying here.
When will you pick them up?
Ok, please come soon.
Ok, ok sir.
Hmmm?
I was supposed to introduce him to sir...
Right, sit down.
Please come...
Hey, lift...tight...very nice!
Sir, someone has come...
Coming...
This is him sir...
My name is Ravindmnath...
lam in the minmmineml water business...
Oh welcome to my factory. Please come.
Look, Mr. Ravindmnath...
I started this business in a tent by the roadside.
Within four years, I have built a factory.
Very good...
Hey, "before"...
Darling, "after"...
Forty. . .forty. . -
...thirty six
You match the skin
I will match the body... - Ok, sir.
Our business is a thousand times better than your mineral water business...
Very creative...
the products of our product!
People these days care about their looks.
They have to shine everywhere...
in the papers, TV, internet...
The wimps want six-packs...
the fatties want to be size zero!
And they all want quick results, which I can provide.
And of course, don't even ask about sex-related products.
There's too much demand.
Do these things work? - Why think about that?
It's all smoke and mirrors only...
People don't want the bitter truth...
...they want sugar-coated lies.
Advertisement and banding!
This is hundred percent profits...
You can invest blindly...
...you don't worry about anything at all!
Meet my wife Shobalatha...
Hello!
Sir, tell me sir which product would you like to begin with?
Weight gain, weight loss, hair gain, hair loss...
...fairness, darkness, sexual, skin...
You can start with any one of these...
...and I will give you credit benefits.
This is common.
I want something special.
Unique.
If you have it, tell me...
Sir, we have launched a new product...
...we haven't obtained a license yet.
It's in great demand...
The guy who got you here, he made his money with that product...
I want something like that.
The product is called Lucia.
It is a dream pill.
You don't have to go to the gym and workout to lose weight.
But you can dream that you have a sexy figure.
Dream pill, is it even possible?
Yes sir, everything is possible.
You know this pill is in great demand and it works.
Nobody likes their life, sir.
They always wish their life was different...
...alternate reality.
This pill makes it possible.
Wow, very nice!
Do people know about it? How do they find out about it?
You sell it as a sleeping pill.
They take it because it puts them to sleep...
and they see the dreams that they like.
And these pills are addictive.
Any side effects?
Don't you worry...
Just moments ago, there was another attempt on NikhiVs life.
Hooked up to n life support system with his life hanging by n thread...
...Nikhil was attacked right in the ICU. The attacker was a woman.
Here are the details.
Tchtch, it is really sad.
That Indy dressed up as n doctor to go in.
Mr. Ravindmnath, what you have is just a sample.
I am sure you will come back with a large order.
Because your customer's dreams...
are my dreams also.
I will call, sir... Ok.
Mr. Detective, got the updates?
This girl is lying, believe me.
Sanjay, she was caught red-handed.
What more proof do you want?
The media has got the original footage
and they are playing the footage on loop.
There is some connection between this case and this Lucia tablet.
Hey get him into the vehicle, let us go.
See, this investigation is closed.
Go to your room, take some rest.
In the morning, I will book your ﬂight tickets to Mumbai.
Thank you.
Drop him and come.
Sir, Please come I will drop you.
No, I will go by myself, later.
As you wish, sir.
Get in...
HEY get in, I say...
Oh Nikki, what a surprise! What brings you here?
May I come in?
Oh sorry, please do come in.
You have a nice house.
What are you saying? - Why?
I am still a struggling actress. It is unlike your house...
I mean... your palace.
Why have you brought the camera?
I will tell you. Can you give me some water?
Yes, sure. Please sit down.
No I am going to follow you.
How did you find my address?
If you look hard enough, even God can be found. A heroine is not hard to find.
Take this.
Thank you.
Nikki, I am embarrassed...
...why are you filming me?
You wanted to be a heroine, right? This is a small audition.
Audition? Like this? I am not even dressed...
You look good just like this.
Please stop filming, please.
I am planning to make an experimental film, will you act in it?
Really? I am ready.
What is the story?
There is a torch shiner in a theatre.
He falls in love with a girl working in a pizza parlour.
Why would the pizza girl love a torch shiner?
Why not?
Women prefer men who have better jobs than themselves.
Why? Don't they prefer men with better character?
Character is important...
but it's not enough.
Then let us write this script together.
Done!
Deal!
Whose photo is on the mirror?
Hey, you shouldn't look at all that!
Dad, that guy who came home that day...
where is his house? - Who?
The one the broker got home...
Why? Which boy?
Dad, that torch shiner in the theatre...
Oh that guy! Why? I don't know anything about him.
Where is the broker's house?
Gowdanapalya. Why?
What are you up to? - Ok, I'll be coming home late tonight.
You have dinner and go to sleep. Bye!
Hey Shwetha!
In the game, but u dummy player! - Mother, is Venkunnu...?
Venkanna is gone!
He has orphaned us!
In one hand n broken moon
In the other n turn slice of bread
To the game that these two were playing
She did not come
Why did she not come?
She did not come
Why did she not come?
In the game, but n dummy player
I am only n dummy player
I gathered the stars in n ﬂower bowl
Before I could string them
Sunlight streamed in
Everything disappeared
I gathered the stars in n ﬂower bowl
Before I could string them
Sunlight streamed in
Everything disappeared
They say God has written my fate on my forehead
Give me u mirror
Let me rend it
Even if I find the mirror
Everything is topsy-turvy
How do I rend my jute?
Gad is n shrewd fellow
In the game, but n dummy player
In one hand n broken moon
In the other n turn slice of bread
To the game that these two were playing
She did not come
Why did she not come?
Brother, one balcony ticket...
Someone scribbled my fate
My damned destiny
Hey Soma, give me the tube.
What should he give you?
Oh, it's you!
In the heat of youth, he slips from a ladder!
Why are you acting like this in front of this girl?
It hurts... - Keep quiet!
You can speak to him now. - Ok uncle.
Please sit down.
Sorry...
Oh, you didn't do anything, I slipped from the ladder.
That's not what I meant...
That day when you came to the shop...
I hurt you...
I am sorry...
Oh, that day...
Are you in love with me?
When did I say that?
Oh you don't love me? Then fine.
No, no. that's not what I meant... lam in love with you...
Next time when I ask you something...
answer me properly.
Do you know any job other shining a torch?
Idlivada, chow chow bath, kesari bath, kham bath...
Masala dose, plain dose, set dose, what shall I give you madam?
That loafer used to charge 80 rupees for a haircut.
So I thought it was very profitable and decided to join the barber shop.
Tomato, beans, potatoes, drumsticks, brinjals, vegetables!
No, no, no, this is fine...
But being a torch shiner in this sort of theatre...
This talkies was built by Shankmnna's father.
Say "theatre" and not talkies.
Thetru...
No, say "theatre." - Thetru...
Ok, let it be. Do you at least have nice clothes?
Yes, I have one in red and one in pink...
I'll have to change you a bit... - Why?
I can't tell my friend you are a torch shiner in a talkies.
Why can't you?
Shankmnna, Shankmnna, the projector is calling!
Hey, go and change the reel I say, the alarm is ringing.
Hey, I want to see as well!
What is this?
The carbon has to be set...
What happens on this side?
This is the main thing...
I must firstly speak about Nikhil sir.
Working with him is a matter of great pride.
The heroine madam is like family to me...
Look at the title... ...Rome...
There is "Om" power in it... God willing...
This movie has to go the Oscars! Thank you everyone...
I pawned my jewellery to put 20 cores into the film...
The hero is like my god...
the heroine is my family also...
JaiAndhm!
Shooting was like a picnic...
lam really excited and lam waiting for the release.
Thank you so much...
Welcome to all the media persons.
Rome is a very different movie.
I'd like to seek your support.
Thank you...
Please explain your relationship with her.
Her name is Shwetha...
I like her a lot...
I love you Shwetha...
Applause...Everyor-le!
Madam, can I take a picture of yours?
Why mine?
You look very fresh...
Super!

Beautiful, madam, beautiful!
Beauty ma'am!
Stop this!
Wear this jacket...
Why? Only you should see it, is it?
Nikki, Nikki...

Nikki, let's go...
Nikki, stop it!
Sir, sir, sir, don't take it personally...
You are like my god sir...
Sir, I was not there...
...had I been there, this wouldn't have happened...
Please pardon him, sir...
it's just his hot bloodedness...
The Chamber should ignore this.
Look, look at what the media is reporting.
He just slightly pushed him, that's all...
but the media is hyping it up...
Sir, I will call you back.
Nikki, where are you going?
Shwetha's house...
You have to go apologize on live TV, come...
Why should I?
What does that mean?
I don't need the industry...
the industry needs me!
The one you beat up is no ordinary guy.
Damn...he thinks it's a game...
Hello!
Nikki! - Sir!
Here, sir...
Ok, sit down...
You sit too, sir.
You have a lot experience in diverse fields.
Good, very good.
Do you like cinema? - Yes sir...

Lover, sir! - Oh?

Much, much, much...sir!
Ok, Nikki.
Sir, I have my own battery with me.
Battery? What is it?
Battery...
...click, click?
...light! - You mean torch...
Ok.
Come let's go.
What happened, girl? How much will they offer?
Did I tell you not to speak in English?
Oh, he doesn't understand Kannada...
...if I speak in Kannada, he speaks in English.
Let that go. There's an English class close to home...
I'll register you there.
Oh no, that can't be done.
Shankmnna's talkies is great.
Do as I say. Got it?
Can we tell my mother of the marriage?
What? Whose marriage?
What are you saying? Our marriage of course!
When did I say I'll marry you?
First, you learn English, get a job... Then we'll see...
Listen...don't shave again.
Hey, what is all this new stuff?
Oh hi!
Hi, aren't you ready yet?
No, someone has come...
Who is it? - Come, come...
Aryan, look who has come!
Are you shocked? - Sir, it's you!
I am so happy to see you again sir.
Nikki, meet Aryan...
...he used to model with me...
Shwetha, I have met him before. - Oh?
I have already made one film with him.
Oh great! Nikki, Aryan is making debuting as a hero...
He wants me as the heroine...so...
Very lucky to meet you, sir!
Sir, we definitely need your support...
You are our inspiration.
Good, good, Arya, best of luck. But...
...Shwetha cannot act in your film.
Nikki?
Shwetha, it's getting late.
You should get ready.
Arya, you please contact our manager...
...he will help you with everything.
I will personally come to the audio release...
Sir...but...Shwetha... - Ok, carry on then.
The film will certainly run for 100 days.
Don't worry! Best of luck!
Shwetha, get ready!
Nikki, what are you doing?
I want to do this film!
Why did you speak that way?
I'll get you a better film, don't worry!
You keep saying this, Nikki.
I love acting...
please don't do this to me!
When the time comes you'll understand.
Shwetha, we are already running late...
...get ready quickly.
English has five vowels...
...a, e, I, 0, "-
P...U...T...put!
Why do you fear it? Just read, I say.
C...U...T...kut!
Look, uncle...he says "kut"!
I go by bus to save petrol money...
and send him to English class...
...and he goes there and sleeps!
Rascal! What's wrong with you?
Learning English is good for the talkies too.
You can converse with couples in English...
First, get some people in here...
...then we'll see.
Her plan is to make me learn English and send me to work in a multiplex...
Multiplex? - Yes...there, you have to know English to just shine the torch.
If I go, who will shine the torch here?
Our canteen Soma can't even count puffs...
...will he count people and shine a torch?
Hey, get going! Get her some juice...
Alright, alright, I'll get herjuice.
HEY, get going I say...
The two of you are a pain...l won't go to any English talkies!
I am telling you now itself!
I ask him to learn something and...
Uncle, you said three thousand per month.
But is it enough?
If he gets a good job, won't you be happy for him?
In running the talkies, I did not think about Nikki at all...
Correct, my child. You do what you think is right.
It's enough that the talkies has consumed me...
Let Nikki at least live well...
...as you say, child.
Thank you uncle!
Hey please listen to me. I will do as you say.
Don't be angry. Please...
Please listen, I will learn English...l will work in a multiplex...
Auto! Auto!
Sir, will you come to Malleswaram?
Hey...hey... - Oh, oh, the auto is gone!
Auto! - What the f***!
Hey, come on, I am begging you...
What did you say? - I said I'll learn English.
No... what them?
Oh that, the students in the school keep saying it...
What else did you hear?
What the f***, bloody f*****, a**holes, nonsense, idiots...
Look, aren't I learning English for you? You, on the other hand...
Hi Shwetha! - Hi!
How are you? - I am good. How are you?
This is Nikki. Nikki, my friend...
Hi Nikki! How are you, dude?

A torch shiner?

Hello...shut up!

Nikki...the thing is...
What happened?
Actually...l have to visit my grandfather for two or three clays...
So go and come. You don't have to tell me everything.
Shwetha, you misunderstand me.
I told you not to act in films for your own good.
Ok, Nikki, I'll see you soon, bye!
I love you!
Bye, Nikki...
Hey, it's ok, don't worry! He'll understand.

Ok, I take them and bring them back, right?
That's it boss.
I told you no he'll help you.
Nothing, Nikki, I just told him that you would help him.
Thanks so much for helping my friend!
I am not doing it for your friend, it's for you...

...I feel I have no other life.
Even as a child, you would laugh freely only with me.
My daughter gave birth to a child...
...but no one told me.
Let it go.
Sign up for a couple of pictures...
I always wanted to build a talkies in our village in your father's name.
Pick up the phone!
Pick it up and speak!
Hello, who is it?
Where's the money? Last time we used dummy bullets...
...this time it will be real bullets.
Hey, shut up and keep the phone down. You'll get no money.
Don't play with us. We won't stop at anything!
What will you do? What the hell will you do?
Do whatever! Threaten us, will you?
Here, drink some water...
I feel very tired, I will leave...
And... don't stay so depressed...
Your father has made money.
See, this time and age won't come again.
Nikki, when you go inside, be careful...don't go alone...
Take some of the boys with you...
Call me...Don't sit and brood all night, get some sleep.
Shankmnna, Shankmnnamwhere are you, my dear?
The foreign girls have given us a foreign brand!
Two pegs and you will sail away...
Let me tell you the story!
Forty two years of service and...
I've never missed changing the reel even once.
Roll it up quickly! It's getting late.
Shankmnna!
Hello...
Please come...
the great all-in-one star Nikhil!
Finally you picked our call...
...it is our fortune.
We were intending to kidnap your lover...
She was in a film shoot...
...so we didn't disturb her...
We have given him food, coffee and juice...
and taken great care of him.
Tell him how well we have looked after you, sir!
Wait for Nikhil's signal, all of you.
Police, CCB, CBl...no one around right?
First ﬂoor sir!
Kempmju, anything?
Look Nikhil...
Why all this drama?
Times have changed.
This filmy kidnapping...
you bringing money in a bag...
...it's so boring!
You could have just made monthly bank payments.
You did not listen to me.
That's why so much drama.
Look, what a waste of time for both of us.
Charge!
Nikhil, you are a real hero!
Thank you...
The guy who attacked me last time...
he was around here somewhere...
...he must have escaped.
Don't worry about them Nikhil.
They're just contact killers...
They only work when they get money.
We'll take care of them. There's no danger for you.
Shankmnna!
Hmm...are we there already?
Why have you brought me to the village?
Come...
...it's a long time since I saw the family...
Hi Chikkana, doing fine?
Shankmnna.
Why?
What happened?
Why are you looking so depressed?
What happened?
I am sorry...
I was late in coming back...
Sorry Shankmnna...
I don't want to lose you.
Sorry...
Everything is fine now, don't worry.
They wouldn't have done anything to me.
No!
Enough...
Please stay here...
Hey...
I'll thrash you...
Come on, let's go home...
You have taken care of me since my birth...
...you should relax now at least...
Stop this nonsense!
Get in, get into the vehicle.
We'll start a film today itself.
You have lost your head sitting at home!
Come on, let's go!
Shankmnna!
I will leave.
You take care of yourself,
Hey Nikki...
Listen to me...
“Don't leave Nikki.
At least have lunch and go!
Don't go. Fine, it's my fault. We won't talk about films.
Nikki...Nikki...
Seriously?
Five of you stay in this room?
Isn't it difficult?
Did you really want this kind of life?
Go to the village, and take care of your land and parents.
Ok? Get married and have children!
The life of a theatre owner...
is like the films he runs in the theatre...
No one knows what will happen.
These people are not good.
They may do anything to you.
Five guys have come...
How will you pay their salaries?
Put it in the next month's account...
Ok...what is this print moulding here?
Didn't I tell you I made a picture once?
That one will never see the light of day.
Toss it out as scrap.
The audience didn't see it...
...at least let the cockroaches get a viewing.
What are you doing Nikki?
Shankmnna made a film once.
It was never released.
I will release it.
I too feel the pain of Shankmnna's death.
But I don't think he would want you to continue here...
I know him better than you.
Try and understand what I am saying!
There is nothing here.
Improving this place would a waste of time...
He had no one but me.
I would have never left the talkies and gone.
It's you who upset things... - What? Me?
If I hadn't gone with those foreign women...
I would have been around to help him!
I sent you with those girls so you could learn English...
and get a good job!
Look, I don't care what happens.
I will make Shankmnna's dreams come true.
Look this is how I am.
I can only call a talkies talkies...
and not a theatre...
If you want to stay, you can...
...if not...
If not?
You don't like me.
You want someone educated, English-speaking...
...well-dressed and with a good income.
Not me!
Or is it that...
...you don't want me?
Don't you have a girl?
Why do you bother with that run-down theatre?
.And risk your girl's life too?
The sky fell to the ground
And the boat of my dreams drowned
The Earth turned barren
And my dreams lie shattered
My life itself is pnwned
My dignity shamed on the streets
My memories sold for nothing
Left clutching nothing but straws
Why?
Isn't this your second attempt to kill him?
Will you sign a confession?
Can you tell me anything about this pill?
What is this Lucia?
It's a dream pill.
That I know.
But what is a dream pill? How does it work?
It's a cheesy name for a pill actually. It helps you with lucid dreaming.
So...lucid, Lucia.
What is lucid dreaming?
Look, we all dream right?
We all have dreams which we often don't remember or care about.
But, lucid dreaming, it's a different thing...
Basically you get to chose who you want to be in your dreams...
...so you can construct your dreams and enjoy them.
Why is it harmful?
It's not harmful as long as you do it without taking these...
What do these pills do?
They have a chemical that makes you remember your dream like you lived it.
Every time you go back to sleep your dream starts playing like a film.
You can do all those things in a dream which you can't do in real life.
Hello?
Yeah, you are right.
About what?
That girl is lying...
She thinks if the case is solved quickly...
the court may grant euthanasia.
I can give you more information...
Please come, I'll make arrangements for it.
Please buy the ticket brothers... only 30 rupees!
Hey Nikki, how are you?
Oh come, please...
Thanks for coming.
There's no one who I can call my own.
Shankmnnamhis picture...
...one time...
...it must run...
People inside...
...a lot of people must come...full full.
...Shankmnna's dream...
...I"I"'ILISt come true.
Hi, Anna?
Thank you...
Why are there no servants?
I sent them off.
Why?
I didn't feel like having anyone around...
I like being alone.
Nikki...
I am sorry.
Shwetha, you have done what you felt like doing.
You don't have to be sorry.
I still love you...
Sorry about that...
it will heal quickly. Don't worry!
Why don't you like me acting?
I have to know.
I can't explain what or why.
One day you will find out for yourself.
We will meet then.
0k?
Thank you
Are you in on illusion Or is the illusion within?
Are you within the body Or is the body within you?
Are you in n dream Or is the dream within you?
Are you in the intoxication Or is the intoxication within?
Are you in the whirlpool of lave That splits body and mind?
The moment you left,
My heart is filled with your memories
Only you fill up this chest of memories
See that single teardrop
In the eye of that lonely cloud, my beloved.
Who is that singing songs of heartbeats
Even though it cannot be heard or seen?
This love is an illusion,
It hurts even when you are happy
The shadow of loneliness
Haunts me day and night
The word have spells trouble
When will you come?
It feels like my heart is stopped
The moment you vanished,
My heart yearns for your presence
My soul yearns ta reconcile and merge with you
This is n boat without an onrsmnn
And the agony of n lonely journey
It is n game of shadow boxing
I pray this gets over now
Are you in on illusion Or is the illusion within?
Are you within the body Or is the body within you
Are you in the whirlpool of lave That splits body and mind?
Are you in n dream Or is the dream within you?
Are you in the intoxication Or is the intoxication within?
Lave found in an intoxicated dream Is it doomed ta fail?
That looks so cool!
And the colors! So amazing!
So what? Do you like it?
Tell me! Do you like it?
Thank you!
Don't cry!
You must be happy!
Don't cry!
Shankmnna...
I have readied the talkies.
I have released your picture...
Namcste...
while Gandhinagar mourns that there is no Kannada audience...
...n miracle is occurring here.
Who could imagine that a movie made 15 years ago...
mwould be released in such n grand fashion.
The fortune of this ruined theatre has been changed by four foreign girls...
Come, let's speak to them.
Hello... - Hi!
Do you know Kannada?
A little...
Why are you interested in keeping this theatre alive?
For our friend Nikki...
Hmm...let's find out who Nikki ismcome.
Where can we find Nikki?
Nikki's not here.
A customer has come for you...
Let's Iaak far Nikki, right after this small break!
Garlic parmesan bread sticks with Italian seasoning
and one more...
Spring ﬂing regular with olives and corn
and a lemon mojitomplease.
One minute...
Will you...
...will you marry me?
What did you say?
Will you mm...marry me?
I don't know English.
Look girl...
if you and your baldy dad stay in our talkies...
...and make some snacks...
it will help us...
We all can be happy...
...what do you say?
Oh, is that all?
Also what I said in English...
and I will wear clothes the way you want me to...
Just say yes girl...
If you go back to being how you were...
I will say yes...
Yes, he's inside... I will finish him off!
Err... Nikki...
...hi...
How are you?
I am so glad you called me...
I have missed you...
I don't know if you still love me anymore...
But I still do...
Once in a while, I start to doubt...
I wonder if this is really a dream...
...what do you say?
It may be a nightmare...isn't it Nikki?
If it was only a dream, would we be speaking like strangers?
It's to end this nightmare that I called you.
What do you mean?
We were both so happy in real life...
...it's all my fault.
I remember you saying
I will find out for myself why I shouldn't be an actress.
I think I know why...
Shwetha, I love you...
Don't ever leave me ever again...
lam sorry, in this game of dreaming, I have hurt you a lot.
I too have hurt you...
Close your eyes...
What?
Close your eyes...
What do you feel right now?
I feel like going far away with you on a drive...
Nikki...
The confession papers are ready...
...sign them.
You may be right Sanjay...
...but how do you prove it in the court?
They'll ask for strong evidence.
Who will believe in a dream pill?
This report will not work.
Look at the girl's statement.
Read what Nikhil said before he jumped...
"All this is a bad dream...
we both were very happy in real life."
Hah! Tell me, is there any logic to this?
After all, these are cinema folk, who can believe them...
The court will decide tomorrow on allowing Nikhil euthanasia.
The entire film industry and Nikhil's fans are all awaiting the verdict.
Suvnrnn news has exclusive footage of an interview with Nikhii.
We jeei this is the appropriate moment ta air this interview.
Welcome to the Suvnrnn News Studio, Nikhil.
Thank you, Gnurish.
When I see you, I feel like asking n lot of questions...
n lot of questions come to mind...
But, importantly...
why do you always wear these black glasses?
Gaurish, you may know that...
I was involved in an accident as a boy...
Yes... you lost your parents in the accident.
I hurt my head in the accident.
I haven't been able to see any colors since...
Too much light hurts my eyes...
Oh, but no one knows of this Nikhil!
I too did not announce this...
To all our viewers, the common man, and even me...
A star's life is a big dream...
You are a big star... What do your dreams look like?
In my dreams, I want to be an ordinary man, Gaurish.
Common man...
...who according to you is a common man?
Mmm...l want to get lost among all these people.
I want eat pani puri alone on the road.
I want to wait for a bus at a bus stop.
So you can't do these things because you are a star...
I did not focus on being a star, Gaurish.
If my dad had not made money, if I was an ordinary man...
perhaps I too would dream of being a star...
This means, you have everything in life, but you don't want any of it...
I have everything...
but no experience of the struggle to get everything...
So Nikhil, who are your best friends?
Look Gaurish, a star has no "best" friends.
Everyone wants my affection...
Whatever I do, they say I am right.
Who is lying?
I love you... - Who is telling the truth?
I still love you...
Everyone wants the star Nikhil, not me...
When I was young, I was in an accident...
Did he have insomnia?
He was taking medication...
But, it didn't help him in any way sir...
Sir, your problem is not regarding sleep...
You see, you don't even know you are sleeping...
You are unable to dream, but I have a solution for that.
What was Lucia's drug procedure?
You need to write down your dreams...
The more you write them down...
the dreams will continue...
You will not be able to differentiate dreams and reality...
The mind has to believe that your dream life is your real life.
I raised my gun, but he had already jumped off the terrace...
No one is ready to believe me, sir!
When did you last supply the drug?
Six months ago...
Hello sir...
May I come in?
Namaste, sir!
Ninety lakh damned fools in Bangalore!
Like sheep in a pen!
Me, I am another innocent lamb
My name is Nikki. Not lkki! Nikki!
Life is great, but I can't sleep...
Do you want to save him?
Nikhil, please share with us one of your favourite dreams.
I have a dream that comes very often...
...in which I am a torch shiner in a theatre.
An usher?
Yes...
That is your favourite dream?
See, Gaurish...
...everybody goes to the theatre.
The torch shiner there shows them the path.
He takes them to their seat.
But nobody notices his face.
It is as if he is invisible right in the middle of the crowd.
Well said.
What else happens in your dream?
Thank you.
Where is my sent?
Torch shiner?
There is true love.
A torch shiner like me...
There is a struggle to win that love.
Shouldn't dream about someone like you.
I like that struggle.
Or is it that you don't want me?
The girl in your dreams, have you met her in life?
Hmm...
Nikki, wake up...
It's getting late...
...we have to go to the talkies...
Nikki, how long will you sleep? Get up!
There's a new film in the theatre...
We need to go early. Get up!
Ok, fine. Get ready quickly...
Six years of marriage, and you haven't changed a bit...
Go...
Dad...
Nikki, Nikki, what dreams did you have today?
I was lying on a hospital bed.
Was I there in your dreams?
You were holding my hands and crying, why?
Take this and feed Chinnu.
You have to drop her to the school today.
Chinnu, come darling, I will feed you.
Just a little...
Shwetha, Shwetha...
Take this sir. It's empty. It's completely safe...
Sorry, sorry... sorry!
Come, come! - Sorry I am late.
I am ravenous! Give me what you have prepared.
No. Where is Nikki?
Hey Nikki, come. I am very hungry!
Nikki, I have a surprise for you. Open it.
Oh... June's pizza?
