Bandra (2023) Movie Script
- Hey!
- Oh! Arjun Sir.
- Please have a seat.
- Thank you.
How are you? [Hindi]
- I'm good. How are you, Sir?
- Very good.
So tell me. How long did you take
to write the script? [Hindi]
At least a year and a half, Sir. [Hindi]
Nice.
Look, I know you must have worked
very hard in making the script. [Hindi]
Yeah.
But I've only 15 minutes
before the next shot. [Hindi]
So narrate a brief story for now. [Hindi]
If I like, we shall have a detailed
narration later. Okay? [Hindi]
- Okay Sir. [Hindi]
- Great! Please start.
Okay.
The story is set in the 1990s. [Hindi]
It begins on the Kashmir border. [Hindi]
We are leaving the end
slightly open-ended. [Hindi]
If people like the movie,
we can think about the second part. [Hindi]
The producer is also ready,
if your dates are available. [Hindi]
Nice.
But, I've already portrayed
a similar character. [Hindi]
I am looking for a role that
really challenges me as an actor.
I can understand.
You are an experienced
Associate Director, Sakshi.
Create something different
for your first movie. [Hindi]
Think of a fresh idea,
and work on it. [Hindi]
Sir, the shot is ready. [Hindi]
Coming.
Do not lose hope. [Hindi]
One day you'll make a huge hit. [Hindi]
Thank you for your time, Sir.
Shit!
- I'll call you.
- Okay.
Sister, what happened?
Did you narrate the story to the hero?
No.
It is evident on her face!
You go study.
Go
Study well and get a decent job
You go and take a shower,
I'll keep your food ready
Okay mother
Daughter,
I am not talking about your marriage
It's all your choice
I'm retiring next month,
the rent of this flat, the cost of living,
the loan taken for your education is not cleared yet.
Then its about her studies.
I don't know how to move forward.
I'm not advising you.
Cinema is a world of luck,
where a lakh of people wish for,
a hundred people get a chance,
and out of which only ten attain success
in this magical world of cinema.
If you can't be one of those ten,
then quit.
Daughter,
if you are able to earn a living,
it will be a relief for me.
In 1969 Maria Pusoo in his novel, the Godfather
has mentioned about the underworld.
It's a mystical world.
Once you're in, there is no way out.
Actually, it's apt for movies.
Cinema has only one door, the door inward.
Then there is no going out.
There is no way out.
My father always asks,
Sakshi, what guarantee is there in films?
Take yourself as an example.
You've given so many superhits.
And yet!
That's all because of what I did!
Arrogance, overconfidence.
As I started making hits continuously,
I felt that everything was under my feet.
Come sit.
You came to me to become a Director
It is difficult for me to do a film
But, you have it
So be confident
Leave out the stars.
Success is their priority.
No star has ever been
successful without a good story.
So, story is the important factor.
Go find yourself a good story
Okay?
Good.
Hey, where are you looking and driving? [Hindi]
Sorry Sir.
Cant you see? [Hindi]
Go go. Take away. [Hindi]
Have come to spoil my mood. [Hindi]
Shit!
Thanks.
What are you doing? Be careful.
Come on, clean fast. [Hindi]
Tara Janaki committed suicide in 1993,
at the peak of her career.
The dream girl of Bollywood.
It's doubtful whether there has been,
an artist like her before or even after.
She attended the same school as I.
I remember my teacher saying that
I resemble her, a little.
Why did she commit suicide?
Im not sure whether it was a suicide?
I have directed a movie with Tara
It was a huge hit
Tara Janaki, she was such a good actor, know?
What could be the reason
to make her commit suicide?
There is a strong reason behind any suicide
Ah reason. That reason...
See, Tara Janaki committed suicide or
whatever at the peak of her career
Doesn't that right there sound like a movie, Sir?
If the audience feels the curiosity
that you feel now Yes it is...
You are very fortunate, Madam [Hindi]
Because it is extremely difficult
to find a file that's 30 years old [Hindi]
Im doing this just for Rajeev Kumar Sir [Hindi]
Thank you so much.
However Madam, I dont think this file
will help you in any way. [Hindi]
This is a suicide, and
the report says the same. [Hindi]
Lets see. Perhaps it might be useful. [Hindi]
Thank you.
Welcome Madam.
I think we should go with these references.
Sakshi, it has changed from what
we mentioned yesterday.
Somebody is calling.
Are you sure about this?
Okay bye. Thanks.
Who was it?
We will get the album of
Tara Janaki's last film tomorrow.
Wow! Great!
[discussion]
Hey!
See this.
This person can be seen in all the photos.
What? Let me see. Come.
I've seen this guy somewhere.
This personsomewhere
There are two crore people
in Mumbai city alone.
How can we find this old man from among them?
That too a drunkard.
Even if we find him, will he remember?
See, I don't know if he's a drunkard
or whether he knows anything.
But for me, he is a reason.
As you said earlier,
from these two crore people
why should he come and hit my car?
Such a small world!
Exactly. Therefore, he will not
fail to appear before our eyes anyway.
HeyWhat is the matter? [Marathi]
How many times have I told you
not to let him in? Understand? [Hindi]
[abusing in Marathi]
You dont know , who I am! [Hindi]
Im Mirchi! Mirchi! [Hindi]
He doesnt know who I am. [Hindi]
He hasnt left anything to drink. [Hindi]
One day, I will destroy everything.
Destroy everything. [Hindi]
Excuse me, I would like to talk to you.
Go away. [Hindi]
Arent you a Malayali?
No.
Isnt your name Mirchi?
Yes. Everyone calls me that. [Hindi]
We want a help from you.
First, buy me a drink. [Hindi]
Later, you can seek help.
Oh man, we will arrange for it.
Dont worry. [Hindi]
Really? Make the order.
Make the order fast. [Hindi]
Sir, bring him two pegs. [Hindi]
Sir, not a peg, bring a bottle.
He has ordered. [Hindi]
Are you the one in this photo?
No, this is not me.
Please bring the bottle. [Hindi]
This person... This wont work.
We want to know about Tara Janaki.
Tara Janaki!
Who is she? [Hindi]
I don't know her.
I need to go.
Brother...
Brother, please
Please listen to me.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Sakshi.
It's been many years since
Ive been trying to do my first movie.
It was by accident that I landed upon
Tara Janakis story.
She left as though she had
something more to say in life.
Normally, cowards commit suicide.
Was she the same or
was she on drugs and committed suicide?
Who said it was a suicide? [Hindi]
Whos that? OhThats Mirchi.
Thats him. [Hindi]
Who told you that was a suicide?
Tell me. [Hindi]
So then was it a murder?
I dont know about that.
I need to go. Hey move aside. [Hindi]
- Go .
- Hey! [Hindi]
Oh God! That didnt go well.
But I think...
Oh... he hasnt gone.
My dear Mirchi brother,
I have no intentions to hurt
or trouble you.
Tara Janaki as a person,
or as a woman,
is not an artist who should go without mention
or be forgotten.
I would like to make her real story into a cinema
in the most authentic and honest way.
In an industry ruled by the heroes,
if not for a while,
there was a real heroine who excelled.
I want to tell the story of that heroine.
Who told you that Tara Janakis life
tells the story of only a heroine?
Who told you so?
In this story, there is a hero. [Hindi]
A real hero. [Hindi]
His name, [Hindi]
Aala.
A hero of the whole land.
We got it early in the morning,
either take it or leave it.
Babuka, please.
We netted in nine parts to get this sole fish.
Where is Aala?
Hey...
Sir, Im much older than you,
so dont call me this or that.
I have a name, Babu
or you can call me Babukka.
[Inspector annoyed] [crowd agitated]
Sir, this is Aalas harbour.
I want to meet Aala urgently, Babukka.
Rahelamme, hows your husband?
Hes fine now.
He became alright when he got what he needed.
Is he going for work?
Yes he's going.
Ahh.. . thats enough
Aala.
Yes, Babukka.
There's some problem.
The police are here.
CI Moideenkutty is
sitting in Hamsakas shop.
Did we send the load to Kozhikode?
Sent it two hours back.
Sent to Coimbatore as well.
Send to Mangalore only when I say.
Okay.
They haven't given the balance money yet.
What's this!
DySP Kurian Sir wants to meet Aala urgently.
So it's Kurian Sirs need,
I don't have time to come there.
If it's urgent, ask him to come home and
meet me.
Leave Sir.
Tell him, I said so.
Without leaving out anything I said.
[workers chattering]
What's up Girishetta?
Drank tea?
Yes, I drank.
Whats this?
It's been an hour since Stanley came.
Hes like his father,
He will return home
only after looking into the affairs of his people.
How do I know that Sir would come now?
Wasn't it you who told CI Moideenkutty,
that if it is so necessary,
to come home and meet you?
Is this the way to speak to Stanley?
Oh Mother! CI had asked me
to meet DySP Kurian.
Kurian is an irritating fellow.
Thats why I reacted in an irritating manner.
Drink your tea, I need to discuss
a matter with you.
[Radio News - Greetings.
Local news read by Susanna.]
What's the problem, Sir?
[Radio News - With regard to the murder
of an old couple, at Kallambalam in Kannur,]
[the accused haven't been found,
the police has not...]
Didn't you read in the newspaper
that an old couple was killed
and their money and jewellery
looted here in Kallambalam?
The details are there in this file.
They are outsiders, from Bombay.
The name of the gang leader is Rashid Khan.
Look, it is him.
Not only here but in many places in India,
he has been committing these atrocities.
He has strong support from the Maharashtra police.
Even if we take all the trouble to catch him,
we have to produce him in the transit court
and another 100 formalities to be followed.
He looks so decent.
In the meantime, many of the accused
will escape.
The son of the murdered couple has come from abroad.
He is pressuring the CM very much.
Because of that pressure, Im not able to sit back.
Once the killer is caught by the police,
the son's work is done. Isnt it, Sir?
So, what is my role in it?
You should catch that killer from Bombay.
Just help cross the border.
From Bombay?
Yes.
Sir, how can I do what the police cannot do
in Bombay city?
Bombay is not a place that you dont know.
Its not just Bombay,
I know many places in India.
Thats how huge are the issues,
my father had created.
That's all over.
Im not for anything, Sir.
This is my promise to my mother.
Sir, please dont force me.
- Stanley.
- Yes.
Give this to Molly.
He will do what Stanley has said.
- Oh mother!
- If this had happened to your mother?
I came here as Dominics wife who owned
10 to 25 boats and all these surroundings.
Do you know?
When your father lost everything with
the debt, case and other problems,
it was Stanley who supported us.
We shouldnt forget that.
It is nothing when compared to the favours
that his father has done for me.
No, please dont force him.
What is this!
[workers chattering]
Why is SP Sir here?
The police have given us a job.
We need to make a trip.
Where to?
To Bombay.
[crowd chattering]
Leave it. Nothing is going to happen. [Hindi]
Do you know about Rashid Khan? [Hindi]
He is a criminal beyond your imagination.
He has his gang not only in Bombay
but in other places too.
Even the police have failed in their efforts.
Have you come in search of him?
You better go back to Kerala. [Hindi]
We have driven 1200 kilometres to reach here.
Anyway, we can try seeing this monster
or if possible shall take him along.
Hey Babukka! Bombay has changed drastically
in the last four years.
He's a number one crook. [Hindi]
Its a dangerous game.
Do you still want to go ahead?
Let's play the game the dangerous way.
First you show me the players
and the ground.
[person whispering] Mirchi bhaiya,
they are seated in the deluxe. [Hindi]
Got him. Come lets go. [Hindi]
Hey sit down.
Why are you dancing? [Hindi]
Dont shout. [Hindi]

Rashid Khan, who was accused in about
100 murder cases was hijacked overnight.
Thats my Aala...! [Hindi]
So, is Aala behind Tara Janakis murder?
Or did Aala kill Tara Janaki and
throw her from the top of the building?
For that, Tara Janaki was in Bombay
and Aala in Kerala.
Now I understand the story.
Aala came to Bombay with a new assignment.
Hey, shut up! [Hindi]
What did you ask?
Are you so stupid? [Hindi]
Who is this? [Hindi]
Sorry, this is my assistant.
Assistant
Brother... brother tell me
how did Aala and Tara Janaki meet?
Babukka, get a plate and have a dosa.
I have someone with me.
Call him too. He can have dosa.
No. He came to ask for a favour.
Dont people who ask for a favour eat dosas?
Well, I dont need your help.
Sit Rosamma and dont get up
until you have it.
Eat Rosamma.
This boy!
There is a shooting of a Hindi film
happening at the beach.
The moment the team arrived,
they created a scene.
All the locals were beaten and
chased away by the police.
So now, the natives
are not permitting to shoot.
Aala please...
Not at all Babukka, I have a lot of work to do.
If it's household chores, Ill do it.
Dont laugh, Rosamma.
Please go, dear.
Hey, the natives will do anything for you,
if you are good to them.
Dont try to terrify them using the police.
No
You leave, Ill come.
Is Amitabh Bachan and Sreedevi
part of your movie?
No. It's Tara Janaki.
Tara Janaki
[crowd talking]
Dassappa, why is there a commotion?
We came to watch the shooting.
Just watch it.
Why do you need to create a commotion?
They have come from far to our place for shooting.
They are our guests so we need to show
our love and respect.
Hence, everyone should cooperate. Okay?
Okay Aala.
Please make a way.
Sharadhamma, are you not having food properly?
Yes yes.
Hey please come here. [Hindi]
Hey Sir, what do you want? [Hindi]
- Im the Production Manager. [Hindi]
- Okay.
Sir, we have been explaining to these people
but they are not listening. [Hindi]
- These people?
- Yes Sir. [Hindi]
Everybody please move to this side.
Move to this side. Make it fast.
[men ushering the crowd]
Look Sir, they are our own people.
You can request them in a gentle way. Alright? [Hindi]
Sir, thank you for coming
but the shooting will not happen today.
What happened?
We have minor technical issues.
Oh is it?
So Tara Janaki would be free?
No she isnt free.
Please inform me if you need any help.
It looks like its going to rain now.
Is it?
Dont get the boats out.
Lets go to the harbour.
- Yes
- What is this?
I wanted to see.
Why say it out loud?
Aala, didnt you want to meet?
Though I wanted to, I didnt say it aloud.
Rosamma, Ive told you several times
not to sleep at the dining table.
Ill take a bath and have food.
Ill sleep after you eat.
I need to wash these dishes.
I will wash the dishes.
Get up and come.
Please leave me.
It's because you sleep late,
your blood pressure and sugar are shooting up.
Go sleep.
[music playing]
Tara Janaki?
Yes.
Mother
Dont shout. [Hindi]
Dont shout. [Telugu]
Dont shout. [Tamil]
Dont shout. Please listen to me.
Im sorry.
You know all the languages?
Why are you here?
Im in trouble.
How did you get in here?
I took the staircase.
The staircase from outside.
Yes.
Please help me.
I need to stay away for two days.
Alright, stay away.
Shall I stay here?
Here? Shall I call my mother?
No, no no. Please dont inform anyone.
Do you want water?
Sorry. I will bring it.
Did you have food?

You are safe here.
Your clothes are wet. I will come now.
Sit inside. Sit inside.
You can go inside. Go

Look, I got a dress for you.
Hello. Oh, did this open?
This is my mothers nightdress.
I dont know whether it will fit you. Try...
These are my clothes!
You are sleeping peacefully
by taking away my sleep.
Tara sundari.
- What?
- Police.
- Eh?
- Police.
What is it Babukka?
Are your calculations not right?
How can it go wrong, Sir?
Its been years since Ive been doing this.
Sir, why did you come in the morning?
I came to the Hotel Horizon which is nearby.
Whats there?
What to say! Hindi actor Tara Janaki
has gone missing since yesterday.
Ooh!
Its still confidential.
The paparazzi will create chaos
if they come to know of it.
Yes, yes.
How do these people move around
during the day?
Thats why she absconded at night.
Yes. But how do you know?
If they are out during the day,
they will be mobbed.
That too it's Tara Janaki, a great actor.
Son, I like her very much.
I have watched her songs in Chithrahar.
She looks so beautiful.
Please take me with you to meet her.
She will leave only after meeting Mother.
For that, we dont know where that girl
Stanley, dont leave
without having breakfast.
I shall make rice cake
and fish curry for you.
Okay.
Mother, take your time to prepare.
Sir is in a hurry.
What hurry?
To investigate about the
disappearance of an actor.
I shall have rice cake
and fish curry and then
Do you know who went missing?
- Who?
- Tara Janaki.
Let it be.
- Im a great fan of hers.
- Me too.
Then why do you wait to eat
rice cake and fish curry like greedy children?
So what's wrong with it?
Nothing wrong? Sir, dont you feel ashamed
to eat at this point of time.
Then I shall have it later.
Did Stanley leave?
Yes. Hes very busy.
Forced him to have food but he left.
Then you have.
Mother, bring tea.
Is black tea fine?
Where are you going with this?
I feel too hungry
so I shall have it after bath.
Why dont you have it here?
I can have it anywhere.
What happened to him?
SP came... to say that Tara Janaki is missing.
Dont worry. Its a secret investigation.
Please have this piping hot rice cake
and fish curry before it becomes cold.
You didnt have anything yesterday.
Do you like Kerala food?
I was raised in Kerala
till I was ten years old.
Thats why you are able to speak in Malayalam.
- I want to freshen up.
- You can.
So to take a shower and change?
Yes. To take a shower and change?
Actually, this dress suits you.
A lot more of my dresses are kept there.
Okay.
Or else I will go and buy a few dresses.
Aala, where are you going?
Babukka, you neednt come.
Ill come now. You go to the harbour.
Don't you have any other work?
Stay away.
They just take off on the bike early in the morning.
- Going to the bank.
- Okay.
- Come back quickly.
- Okay.
- Something is wrong! Banks don't work on Sundays?
- Yes, that's right!
Mother, the room is locked.
Locked? Whats wrong with him?
[workers chattering]
I bought some dress for myself.
I didnt say otherwise.
Babukka, didnt you go to the harbour?
Would I be here, if I had left?
The answer is correct but
my question was unnecessary.
Not just the question,
many other things.
Something is wrong!
- Where is mother?
- Shes in your room.
- Mother!
- What?
In my room?
Isnt my room locked?
Theres a spare key to that room.
I searched and found it. What?
Thank you.
You will put me to death.
- Hey man, why are you following me?
- What?
Babukka, why do you follow me?
Be here.
Now its better not to be here.
What happened to my mother?
What happened?
I cried out. That elderly
- Babukka?
- Yes.
Babukka came and laid her on the bed.
Occasionally she regains consciousness,
but becomes unconscious when she sees me.
I'm not at fault.
Absolutely not. You are not at fault.
Mother, look who has come. Rosamma!
Just sprinkle some water. She will wake up.
Please pour some water.
Rosamma, this is me. Get up.
Didn't the police come in search of her
in the morning?
- No.
- Yes.
- Really?
- Why did you kidnap her?
Mother, I did not kidnap her.
She entered by the staircase even without knocking.
My child, why did you come here?
- She came seeking help.
- What help?
This man She came for help.
She asked if she could stay here for 3 or 4 days?
- But why?
- Please come this side. Are you sick?
She asked if she could stay here for 3 or 4 days?
You know me. I didn't say no.
Did you inquire about her problem?
I forgot about that. In the midst of...
Actually, what is your problem?
Aala, have you heard about, identity crisis?
It was always there in my life.
Even in my name.
From St Marys orphanage in Kochi,
when I was ten years old,
I was adopted by Hema Janaki alias Hemaji.
I'm that innocent Diana.
From among many children who had only
a few faded dreams to share, Hemaji chose me.
That day, I lost everyone who was with me
till then.
She had a strange smell when she held me.
And when I reached Bombay,
I realized that it was the smell of those
who dream of cinema.
In Hemajis house, there were many other
children like me.
She taught everyone dance and music.
Despite trying her best,
she got nowhere in Bollywood.
We were her driving force.
She kept trying to get through
to Bollywood through one of us.
Every Sunday photographers
used to visit our house.
Photographs were sent to
magazines and production houses.
Finally I struck a chance.
Dont you know
what is happening in Gods land? [Tamil]
Why didnt you tell me? [Tamil]
Seeing the universe you created,
who is not ashamed? [Tamil]
- Muruga, Im not aware of anything.
- Stop it! [Tamil]
Cut it.
Come
The child is acting very well.
What is your name darling? [Tamil]
- Dian
- Tara. Tara Janaki
Tara. Very good. This child is going
to be a world renowned superstar [Tamil]
Congratulations dear [Tamil]
Then on, I came to be known as Tara Janaki.
Thereafter, for all the opportunities I received,
she started demanding money.
Later I was kept out of films
without acting as a child actor.
Instead Hemaji gave me another role.
Actually, I was happy to do it.
I stayed in that house for a few years
without even seeing the outside world.
One day Hemaji took me along with her
to RD Studios which was part of the RD Company.
It was for the audition of their new movie.
Same as today, the connection between
Bollywood and the underworld was evident.
There I met Ragavendra Desai for the first time.
When accused of several criminal cases,
he started film production to break his image.
The real criminal.
Many girls like me were present there.
Though there were other girls
who performed passionately,
the director liked me
who did it without any interest.
Lawbreaker is my name. What is it? [Telugu]
Do you want my address?
Rani, daughter of Padmini Rajeswari. [Telugu]
Look Sir, one day this girl
will conquer the whole world. [Hindi]
Make a film. [Hindi]
Yes.
Desai knew how to do business and he hired me.
Hemaji, who was greedy for money,
signed a five-year contract.
- Thank you Sir,
- Thank you.
The beginning of my career.
Fortunately or unfortunately,
I became a popular actor
but everything was dealt by the
RD Company owned by Ragavendra Desai.
He often says that he made me what I am.
So he owns me.
In a way it was right.
But there is a limit in taking that
freedom and privilege with someone else.
Last night, he crossed that limit.
In every way.
Although they gave me a life, that life is mine.
I cant suffer anymore. Im fed up.
What made you come to my house?
Kausalya, who was with me, told me about you, Aala who had come to help with the shooting.
I couldnt survive there that night.
I badly needed help.
She took me to your house
assuming that you could help me.
Oh!
I dont know how to settle this.
I need some time.
Until then, I need a shelter.
If you could help me?
The world famous Tara Janaki
has so many problems?
What do you want now?
A shelter. Thats all?
O dark clouds, O dark clouds,
have you seen her heart?
When Im burning inside,
you pour drops of honey.
Even if the stars fade away,
while standing alone on the path.
To erase the darkness on the edge,
I saw a ray of light.
When scorching sun makes summer,
while nurturing my dreams.
When wandering for a shelter,
someone comes like a shade in my way.
Near me... Near me... Near me...
Beyond the unending sea of agony,
bearing this heat of unbearable pain.
Everything melts in the fire,
finally there will be a new dawn.
Beyond the unending sea of agony,
bearing this heat of unbearable pain.
Everything melts in the fire,
finally there will be a new dawn.
Voice.. voice.. a soft gentle voice..
Heart.. my heart.. was touched by the soft voice..
I long to wear wings.. long to.. long to..
Bring back a smile on my face.. smile.. smile..
Without anyone knowing.
To enjoy the beauty of every season,
Like a butterfly in the shade of a flower.
Beyond the unending sea of agony,
bearing this heat of unbearable pain.
Everything melts in the fire,
finally there will be a new dawn.
O dark clouds, O dark clouds,
have you seen her heart?
When Im burning inside, you pour
drop of honey, drop of honey, drop of honey...#
Beyond the unending sea of agony,
bearing this heat of unbearable pain.
Everything melts in the fire,
finally there will be a new dawn.
Stop the vehicle.
Reverse the car.
Sir.
Normally, the gates are not closed.
You check if someone is inside.
- Open the gate!
- Yes Sir.
- Is there someone inside?
- Yes Sir.
- Why is the gate closed?
- Nothing Sir.
Bring the next dosa.
You are enjoying your meal
keeping the gate closed.
Entire police force in Kerala
are searching for this girl...
Sir, thats because...
I trusted you blindly. Thats my fault.
Good.
Move aside.
- Come here. Did CI notice Tara?
- I think he did.
Theres no point talking about it.
CI Moideen would have already informed
all those who need to be informed.
In order to help Tara, giving her a shelter
will not solve the problem.
I have been involved in this case for the past few days.
They are highly influential.
It is not as easy as you think.
Come Tara, I shall drop you.
I shall speak to them.
No, I wont.
Tara, listen to me,
you are a well-known actor across India.
Stanley, give me a minute.
You come here.
Whats it mother?
Do you like her?
- Mother, what are you saying?
- You must speak to her.
If you marry her,
wont that solve the problem?
Mother... Mother thats Tara Janaki.
She stayed with us for a few days.
It doesnt mean that we can talk about marriage.
How do we know what's in her mind?
Whats in your mind?
Aala...
Aala... Leave.
Aala...
Hey hey!
- Leave me.
- Leave her.
You cant take Tara from here
without her permission.
Hey! Move aside!
I've seen a lot of police.
Dont interfere!
Dont show nonsense by sending these ruffians!
This is my land.
Aala, let them talk.
Without your permission,
we wont take you anywhere.
Didnt that happen
because of a misunderstanding?
Leave it.
Daughter,
I did it for your good
You didn't understand.
From now on, I wont force you to do anything.
Come get in the car.
Tara, the contract between us
will expire after this film. [Hindi]
Then you are free,
Free from me and my company [Hindi]
We dont have shoot here anymore.
We can go to Bombay.
Come daughter, get in the car
Otherwise they will have to suffer [Hindi]
My life is always like this.
When I begin to feel happy,
God doesn't like it.
You shouldn't suffer because of me.
Nothing...
I wont forget.
Thank you.
Aala was deeply in love with Tara, wasn't it?
And he let her go?
He expected her to return.
Aala eagerly waited for her call.
Then?
She was a heroine! Very popular heroine. [Hindi]
Where are you going?
To Bombay?
This mother knows, why you are going.
For whatever it is, dont go alone.
Shall I go and come?
Go and come.
[people chattering]
There are a lot of children!
Let me just experiment my Hindi.
Hey mother, where is Mirchi? [Hindi]
He is there. [Hindi]
- Look, my Hindi worked out.
- She is a Malayali.
- Hey Mirchi...
- Hey Mirchi...
Hey who is it? [Hindi]
- Mirchi.
- Hello Aala. How are you? [Hindi]
Out!
Look here. Look there. [Hindi]
Since you came, I shall take these cut outs
and put them in the back of your car.
Take it.
Why didnt you bring the truck
and dogs? What is this!
Babukka, you can take a look
from the top of this fort.
One side is our slum and
the other is a different world.
None of us can peer into
the moneyed man's dazzling world.
Your Tara Janaki belongs there. [Hindi]
She would have come home and
stayed with you, for her own purpose.
She may not even remember you.
Stupid, Crazy, Understood? [Hindi]
Stop it!
In which movie Tara is acting currently,
where does she stay?
Just find out these two things.
No more Hindi is required.
Aala wanted to see Tara, so he came.
Thats it. Isnt it, Aala?
If you are serious, we will surely meet her.
Done Babukka.
Now I will take care of everything. [Hindi]
- Hmm.
- I will handle everything.
- Let me just check. [Hindi]
- Hmm.
Hey...
- What can I do for you Sir?
- Speak in Hindi. [Hindi]
What can I do for you Sir? [Hindi]
I want to meet Tara Janaki. [Hindi]
Whats your name? [Hindi]
Mirchi.
No no. Say, its Aala from Kerala. [Hindi]
- Hello.
- Maam, one Mr. Aala is here to see you.
- No, I don't know anyone like that.
- Okay Maam.
Sorry Sir. Madam told that
she doesnt know anyone called Aala. [Hindi]
Hey! We too have seen Sridevi and Maduri Dixit.
Tara Janaki is no bigger than that.
Just tell me her room number? [Hindi]
Dont Mirchi. Come.
It may not be Tara who picked up the phone.
Anyway she will come down, then we will meet.
We shall wait. Come.
We will be here! [Hindi]
- Aala.
- Hm.
[commotion]
Go speak to her. [Hindi]
Tara.
Tara.
Tara.
Here, the best medicine to forget the past. [Hindi]
I never even dreamt
she would pretend that she didnt see us.
People in cinema behave like murrel.
Babukka, look.
This is Kasim bhai.
Kasim bhai came to Bombay
because of his love for Hema Malini.
Hema Malini isn't even
aware of a Kasim bhai.
She is happily married to Dharmendra.
This is his job now.
Do you know how to dance like this?
I can arrange something for you.
Whats this?
- One more.
- Say something thats useful.
These women will kill men
by making them drink too much.
Thats my experience!
Let's leave this matter here.
Neither do we know about movies
nor any movie actor.
This city smells of blood.
Let's go back tomorrow.
Hey stop, isn't that Tara's maid?
Tara wants to meet Aala.
Could you please come? [Tamil]
Aala, you have changed a lot.
You look slim.
I mean you are looking good.
Sorry. It was Hemaji who spoke
over the phone in the morning.
I saw you when I got out for the shoot.
But Desais people and Hemaji were with me.
Hmm.
Aala, why are you so quiet?
Hmm.
The movie that was shot in Kerala...?
Actually, the shooting was over.
They werent satisfied with the climax,
so they are reshooting it.
With that, the agreement with Desai will end.
Then Im free.
I want to live my life like its mine.
When are you going back home, Aala?
I havent decided yet. I need to go back.
Oh...
so you are going back?
Anyway, thank you for coming.
I never expected this.
If I hadnt come?
Madam, Hemaji will reach now. [Tamil]
Leave.
We shall meet.
We will be at Venus Studio for a couple of days.
If you can, please do come.
- Goodnight.
- Bye.
[people shouting]
As per Tara's invitation,
we visited Venus Studio to watch the shoot.
But Desai and Hema Janaki's plan
was not merely a shoot.
We had met in Kerala during the shoot.
Please sit inside, shooting is going on. [Hindi]
- That day at the beach?
- Yes, the same person. [Hindi]
Cut it!
Ill come in a bit. Five minutes.
This movie stunt is not an easy task?
What! This is an adjustment hit
without touching the body.
- Is this alright, Madam?
- Yes. [Hindi]
Action
She is performing the fight remarkably well
I know him. [Hindi]
I know him.
This is a trap. They are not cinema fighters.
I know them.
They are criminals from Dharavi and Andheri.
There is some problem.
[people shouting]
What the hell is happening?
Raricha take the vehicle.
Mirchi, take the vehicle.
Desai wished that Tara Janaki should no longer
be alive after their agreement was over.
Desai decided to use Tara Janakis death
as a promotional tool for her last movie.
Babukka, be here. Mirchi, come with me.
Do you know Desais office?
- Yes, I know.
- Then get in.
Okay.
Ill call you back.
Here, you might be a big producer or don
or whatever! It doesnt matter to me. [Hindi]
Listen, hereafter if I see you
anywhere near Tara,
then you'll know who this Aala is...
Understood? [Hindi]
First, you rescue the heroine. Hm. [Hindi]
Then you take her to the hospital. Wow! [Hindi]
Then you barge into my house and... [Hindi]
And threaten me. [Hindi]
Hero, Typical hero.
But unfortunately this time,
you chose the wrong place. [Hindi]
My friend will put an end to your drama. [Hindi]
Next is about Tara. [Hindi]
I made her and I can finish her too. [Hindi]
Thats how my universe works.
What can I do?
One more thing,
the hero doesnt talk much. [Hindi]
He just acts. Understand? [Hindi]
The great film producer in Bombay,
Ragavendra Desai shot dead. [Hindi]
I knew you would do this.
So 15 minutes back, an anonymous call
was made to the police headquarters. [Hindi]
But you are still alive.
I dont even need a gun to make this news real.
Dont forget that! [Hindi]
From the hospital,
Aala moved into a new flat with Tara Janaki.
That is
Tulsi Apartment
Come in Sister. This is our own apartment. [Hindi]
- It s completely ours. [Hindi]
- Mirchi
- What? [Hindi]
- This way.
I thought it was a temple.
O God! Thank you. Touchings... [Hindi]
What's this!
Hey, stop this.
My hands got burnt.
I took the camphor thinking it was laddu (sweet).
Beautiful!
At least this must be provided
for Tara Janakis stay.
All the Gods are here.
- You are confused about whom I worship.
- Nothing like that.
- Come. [Hindi]
- Is it hot, sister?
- Thank you sister. [Hindi]
- Are you mixing it with milk?
Everything reaches the same place.
This drink can be had with any food.
If you have it with rice, it replaces sambar.
That's all, Babukka.
We need to do a bit more work here.
To organise and chart out the projects
you have already committed,
I've appointed a manager.
We need a person like that.
His name is Goswamy.
He has done other
Madam, Goswamy has worked with
Malini Madam. I know him very well. [Tamil]
Thank you.
Theres a good view from here.
It is very windy in the evenings.
The highlight is the sea breeze.
Whos that? [Hindi]
- Hello Sir.
- He has come.
- Im Goswamy, Besant Nagar...
- Yes, understood.
Ive worked with Hema Malini till Manthagini.
All different characters.
But I was the only Manager.
- Excellent! [Hindi]
- However, I have a big problem. [Tamil]
What is that? [Tamil]
Till now, I havent cheated anybody. [Tamil]
That's good.
Its good you told us otherwise we would
have misunderstood you. Isnt it, Babukka?
Yes.
You are a good man.
Hello Sir. Hello Madam.
Hi.
- Goswamy, please have a seat.
- Sir if I sit, blood circulation will reduce. [Tamil]
- Is that so?
- Yes. [Tamil]
So Goswamy, how shall we take it forward?
If both of you could discuss the details
Sir, after you called, I did a detailed enquiry (Tamil)
She has been removed from
all the 4 projects she was part of. [Tamil]
Sir, Ragavendra Desai is responsible for all this. [Tamil]
He is so powerful in Bollywood.
It is not possible to make a film
in Bombay ignoring him. [Tamil]
Okay Sir, you leave that. [Tamil]
Theres a big producer called
Santhanam in Madras. [Tamil]
Hes planning to do a Hindi movie
in Bombay for the first time. [Tamil]
I heard the script. Its amazing.
You too listen to the narration [Tamil]
From there, we can take a call Sir.
Who is the hero?
Theres no hero, only a heroine. [Tamil]
I understand, its Phoolan Devis story,
the Queen of Chambal? [Hindi]
No. It is the story of Queen Rani Padmini
that happened 200 years ago. [Tamil]
Sashikanth, please narrate the story. [Tamil]
Sure sir.
See, the whole story is about the kingdom of Chittorgarh.
Did you like the story?
Yes.
In the end, Rani should not have committed suicide.
History is often like that,
you can die in the fight for justice.
But if there is truth, people will
always treasure it. Just like this story.
But there is a problem, if you do this film.
You will have to bow your head
in front of the President of India.
- For what?
- To receive the award.
The story is fantastic.
You have done a great job. [Hindi]
If you could confirm a date,
it would be good. [Tamil]
Why do you need to think
about confirmation?
This is going to be Madams next film.
Please agree.
Then we can have the pooja
on the very next auspicious day.
Move to the side. [Hindi]
[people talking]
We are the uninvited guests. [Hindi]
Im your mother. Even if you dont invite me,
I can't refrain from coming.
If I dont come, what will the media
and industry think? [Hindi]
It wont affect my career
but it will affect your career.
I dont wish that to happen,
because I care about you Tara.
Santhanam is a good producer. [Hindi]
Hes lucky.
By the way, where is he? [Hindi]
Madam don't get tense hearing this.
The producer Santhanam,
heard that he died in an accident while coming here [Tamil]
Really sorry to hear about this Tara.
Your movie is over even before it started. [Hindi]
Dont know what to do Sir! [Tamil]
What is this, Sir? [Tamil]
But, dont worry.
Im ready to produce this film, just for you.
And only for you. [Hindi]
But on one condition. [Hindi]
Our old agreement.
Well have a few small, fresh changes?
Agree, child
At this point, no one
will take up this film. Dont be stubborn
It is better to cooperate with the
RD Company for your future.
For whose future?
Tara Janaki or Hema Janakis future?
Let's go.
Hemaji, you are capable of doing many things.
You can stop movies from happening,
create road accidents. But don't think that
you can buy someone's talent and career.
Tara will produce this movie.
Hello.
Tara will produce this movie,
that too on the same date. [Hindi]
Tara Janaki levels up her game.
All set to step foot into production.
Oh God! What will I do now?
Do you know the kind of money
you require to produce a movie?
Moreover, a historical movie.
Oh! God!
Goswamy, how much will it come up to?
Sir only with a script
can we calculate the budget. [Tamil]
Considering that, it will be over ten crores
for this movie. [Tamil]
- Ten crores?
- Yes.
I thought we could finish it for two crores.
Sir, what a joke. With that amount
we can make a Malayalam movie. [Tamil]
This is a Hindi movie. In the 80s we would
need 2 to 3 crores. But in the 90s,
being a historical movie,
a minimum amount of
ten crores or more. [Tamil]
I dont have money.
Hema Janaki has taken away whatever I earned.
We dont need this movie.
I cant take this risk.
Sir, since this news has come in the newspaper,
and if this film does not happen,
Tara Janakis career will come to an end. [Tamil]
I can make the money.
Babukka, just go home and come.
Super Sir. You just need to provide funds
in the beginning. [Tamil]
Later on, I can get big financiers from Bombay
to do it. I know them well. [Tamil]
Then whats the problem?
We can start the shooting.
Cut it!
Catch it. Move this side.
You go back. [Hindi]
Madam.
Good evening Sir.
Hello. Hows it going?
Is everything fine? [Tamil]
Its going on. If we dont pay the bata
this evening, the shooting will stop. [Tamil]
The financiers in Bombay are not ready
to fund this project. [Tamil]
Why do you say that?
You had assured that once the film starts [Tamil]
you would get the funds rolling from here and there. [Tamil]
I spoke the fact.
But the moment we clashed with Desai,
nobody is willing to provide funds. [Tamil]
What Sir? [Tamil]
What Sir, what can we do now? [Tamil]
Im also confused. [Tamil]
Goswamy Sir, the Director
is calling you. [Hindi]
One minute. Sir, the Director is calling.
Ill come now. [Tamil]
The shooting should continue.
I have no idea what to do.
Whats it, Babukka?
Many people are asking
why the fishing boats were sold.
Did my mother ask?
Mother didnt ask but
she has come to know about it.
As soon as I landed today with the cash,
around 75 lakh rupees were spent.
Dont know how it disappeared.
This is quite a risk.
We have money to move on
only for a week.
Only if people like the movie,
we will get back the investment.
Should we do this?
Babukka, don't advise me on this.
I didn't mean it.
Babukka, don't say anything against me.
I have made a promise.
[giving instructions for shooting]
If nothing works out,
theres another way to make money.
How?
Ill say.
But for that, I want the Aala
that I've seen in the past.
Alan Alexander Dominic.
Aala.
Hmm.
I was waiting for a person like you.
I had read about you in the
Dominic case which was closed in 1988.
Bombay is a strange city. [Tamil]
In 1988 Bombay was the same as
how Chicago was in the 1930s. [Tamil]
Only after Dominic's problems were soughted out
and he left for hometown,
I was posted here. [Tamil]
Stop there. [Tamil]
My wife and two children came to Bombay. [Tamil]
The 1990 Anti Terrorist Squad was created. [Tamil]
Ahmed Khan and I were the first officers. [Tamil]
It was sleepless nights
not only for Bombay city,
but also for the underworld
criminals in Bombay. [Tamil]
After work, I come back straight home
to my wife and children. [Tamil]
That was my world. [Tamil]
- Hey.
- Dad, look at this. [Tamil]
Hey, no no.
without my knowledge, all the criminals
joined together
and planned to finish me
at the right time. [Tamil]
Father... [Tamil]
No... Don't do anything. [Tamil]
Please leave him. [Tamil]
- Father...
- Baby please don't go. [Tamil]
- Oh God what happened!
- Mother... [Tamil]
Father... [Tamil]
- Mother...
- Hey... [Tamil]
Father... [Tamil]
Father... [Tamil]
Four years. [Tamil]
My dear children. [Tamil]
Lovable childern. [Tamil]
If they were with me, this would have been
the time to join college. [Tamil]
My eldest daughter was adamant
to join St Xaviers College. [Tamil]
My little baby, was too smart
& too playful. [Tamil]
She wouldnt study. [Tamil]
I was her world. I was her whole world. [Tamil]
There is not much time,
within that you have to kill everyone. [Tamil]
You need money
and I need a peaceful death. [Tamil]
Whatever you say. [Tamil]
Aala walked out from there
without uttering a word.
Aala had sleepless nights.
Those 2 children disturbed Aalas sleep.
Later it became Aalas problem.
Always does this. But dont worry. [Hindi]
I know how to fix it. You should always
stay away from such people. [Hindi]
True, lets escape, fast. [Hindi/Marathi]
Ah! What happened? [Hindi]
Hey! Stop! [Hindi]
Hey hero! Remove the vehicle.
This is one way. [Hindi]
Blocking a runway is no big deal for me.
So why would I care about your one-way.
Is there any issue between us? [Hindi]
Veeraraghavan IPS.
So he has assigned this contract? [Hindi]
Hey, clear my way. [Hindi]
Bombay city sees another shocking murder.
Notorious gang leader Bala
was shot dead last night
While the police remain unresponsive,
the crimes in the city are on a rise.
A noted gangster, Munna was
shot dead last night in Bombay. [Hindi]
According to sources,
the killer is from South India,
and the police investigation
is progressing. [Hindi]
Song is very important, Sir.
It is with the song, 90% of the movie... [Tamil]
What is it, Babukka?
The Director wants to
shoot the song next week.
Hundreds of dancers, the costumes, the set.
All these require a huge sum of money.
- Do not detract from anything.
- We need money for that.
There is an amount of two crores
in the back of the car. Take it.
Eh!
Two crores? From where did you get it?
Borrowed it. It has to be returned.
- Who gave it?
- Babukka.
- Eh?
- No, someone like you, another Babukka.
Then let the song happen.
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
O sweet little bird. Bird of my palace.
Queen of my heart.
My precious groom. My brave heart,
who is my king.
The royal flag will fly,
in the streets of Malwa.
Was he 100 fold attractive,
when he came to see me?
Dame with a sweet smile.
My dream girl.
Even the Greek beauty will lose,
with the goddess of my life.
In the hand with shining bangle,
I will join my hand.
Make you my bride,
and take you with me.
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
When my hero touches me,
I bloom like a fragrant flower.
The palace of Mewar,
and I belong to you.
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
It's becoming dark,
the path is fading.
What if someone comes,
to take her.
Let any Sultan come,
with his army.
With the heat of my sword,
I will protect you.
You are in my heart,
my precious grape nectar.
If you come to me,
Ill pour like wine.
In a gold-studded palanquin,
you came as a moonlight.
You are the stone studded
gold of Kolar.
You are my eyes.
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
If my dear touches me,
I will bloom like a flower.
The palace of Mewar,
and I belong to you.
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
Who did this? What is his name?
Can you identify him? [Hindi]
This is him. [Hindi]
Take from the left. [Hindi]
Action.
[crowd panicking]
Come fast. [Hindi]
Hey hey! Stop, stop. Where are you going?
Why is the police here?
Im from the Bombay police. [Hindi]
Hey, whats happening? [Hindi]
Catch him. [Hindi]
I'm telling you. Leave me . [Hindi]
Bring him here. [Hindi]
- Do you know him, Madam?
- Yes.
- How do you know him?
- He is Aalas friend.
- Which Aala?
- Eh!
Are they partners?
Didn't you hear me?
Is Aala and Mirchi
providing funds for your film?
- Yes.
- Do you know the source of their funds?
He is the suspect in two murders
that took place in the last two weeks.
Along with him another Malayali.
The first is the one you mentioned, Aala.
There are about 20 cases against him.
Put him in the vehicle. [Hindi]
What happened? Whats the problem?
Why is the police here?
Tara, why is the police here?
Im asking the same question.
Why is the police here?
Is Aala a criminal? Murderer?
I need to meet him.
- I dont know where Aala is.
- I must see him.
Im having a headache answering the press. [Tamil]
What are you looking at?
I checked to see if the police were here.
If you are caught from here,
the news will spread
that a criminal was arrested
from Tara Janakis flat.
I dont have an answer for
the questions raised by the police and press.
Actually, who are you?
In the name of a movie,
my image was being utilised.
You cheated me.
Please do not come here anymore.
I'll pay back the amount
you have spent for me.
This film wont happen.
Tara, please dont stop this movie
just because you are angry at me.
This film is Taras future.
My future?
Tomorrow the news will be about the
illicit relationship between you and me.
With that ends my future.
Please dont come before me again.
Why are you doing this?
It feels awful. [Tamil]
Dont stop the shooting
even if Tara insists.
Always be with her.
Inform Babukka that the funds
for the shooting will arrive on time.
Aala, Mirchi was caught by the police?
The police are looking for you too. [Tamil]
How did you come here? [Tamil]
Shouldn't I come here anyway? [Tamil]
Weve moved for Mirchi's bail.
Leave it Sir. Who is next? [Tamil]
Ragavendra Desai.
He is known to be a prominent producer
in Bollywood. [Tamil]
From my encounter list, he was
the only criminal and target who escaped. [Tamil]
Bad
Today, the audio launch of his film
is happening at The Taj Hotel. [Tamil]
Hes staying there. Room No. 202. [Tamil]
Before tomorrow's sunset,
you will hear the news of Desais death. [Tamil]
It was okay.
I feel we could have done better.
Why did you keep this suit here?
Put it here. [Hindi]
Thank you Sir.
Just keep my schedules on time for tomorrow because I need to be there.
Sure Sir.
- I hope you are happy?
- Yes, of course. Thank you, Sir.
- Sir.
- Yes.
- Excuse me.
- Your room is ready.
- See you soon. Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
Okay.
Aala.
How are you?
Im great.
Welcome.
Aala.
Thats for you.
Hello.
Ragavan. Veeraragavan IPS
Veer Ragavan.
Will you get back everything
after killing me? [Hindi]
Aala. I want to hear him scream. [Hindi]
Aala, finish him.
A call was made to the police headquarters
15 minutes back. [Hindi]
It was not anonymous.
I had made the call. [Hindi]
Take him.
Move move.
Hey move. [Hindi]
Move. [Hindi]
[crowd protesting]
Move. Let's go.
Today I will show you who I am. [Hindi]
Move forward. [Hindi]
Hey, keep moving. [Hindi]
What are you looking at?
Move forward. [Hindi]
Today I will show you who I am. Move. [Hindi]
Veer Ragavan.
What did you think? [Hindi]
By giving money to a stranger and with a gun
in his hand, you thought you could kill me? [Hindi]
No.
When Munna and Bala were killed,
I came to know that you were behind this. [Hindi]
Im not afraid to die.
Shoot. Shoot me here. [Hindi]
Dont miss this time.
Look straight and shoot. [Tamil]
Aala and Mirchi, both are in jail. [Hindi]
Hmmm.
The shooting of the film has stopped. [Hindi]
We have already mentioned
about the heroines suicide [Hindi]
Hmm
So is this the climax? [Hindi]
Im glad I have your attention, Sir.
I will answer all your questions
in the next reading.
You can go for the shot
and come over. [Hindi]
Sir, the shot is ready. [Hindi]
Yes coming.
- Ill wait for you.
- Im impressed.
I'm coming. [Hindi]
Lets go.
Though Tara in a sudden fit of anger had told
Aala that she would stop the shooting,
later she changed
her decision as everybody insisted.
But...
Madam, we can shoot only for one more day.
We are running out of funds. [Tamil]
And the most important thing.
If there is a schedule break,
the bata and other charges
will sum up to 70-80 lakhs. [Tamil]
Madam, theres only one way
to get out of the problem. [Tamil]
Just once, call Desai. [Tamil]
It is better that I commit suicide. [Tamil]
Ayyoo.. che!
[film shooting noice]
Cut cut.
Cut hey!
- Hey.
- Ha.
Sorry guys. Five minutes. I need a break.
- Oh sorry. Babubhai sorry.
- Ha
Break. Well do it in ten minutes. [Hindi]
Do you know me?
Theres no wonder even if you say no.
Sit, mother.
I got to know from them that
my son is producing a film in your name.
I dont know the agreement between both of you.
I dont want to know either.
Don't stop the shoot of this movie
due to lack of money.
The required funds are in this suitcase.
Dont worry about the money.
We sold our house.
You might remember the house.
Since Dominics death, he hasnt gone anywhere
leaving his home and surroundings.
Still, he came to see you.
Stayed here for a long time.
He is like that.
He will do anything for those he loves so much.
He started film production just for you.
I will not blame you for his present condition.
But if he threw his life away for this,
I do realise what you are to him.
We had been here for a long time, in Bandra.
His father made a mistake and
it was Aala who had to face the consequences.
Still he did not give away his father
but the son became a criminal.
You do the film peacefully.
Anyhow, I will not leave here without my son.
This movie will soon be released,
and will be a huge success.
You will gain everything you wished for.
You must get it.
That will make him happy.
Aala was denied bail by the court.
But I got bail.
The following month on the 16th,
the court again considered Aala's bail.
Despite Aala being in jail, Tara Janaki
overcame all odds and completed Rani Padmini.
Rani Padmini. Yeah!.
Sorry, sorry.
Rani Padmini.
Please move, friend. [Hindi]
Yeah! [crowd cheering]
Aala is my friend. [Hindi]
[crowd cheering]
Daughter, this is mother.
The film is very good. My heart is full.
[woman crying]
Sir, let me meet once more. [Hindi]
Its not possible. [Hindi]
Do just what Sir has asked you to. [Hindi]
Even when I came last time,
I was not allowed to see. [Hindi]
I'm telling you,
there's no point crying before me. [Hindi]
- Greetings Aala! [Hindi]
- Um.
Stop the noice. [Hindi]
Silence! [Marathi]
Hey will see! And for how long will you sit? [Marathi]
Go there. [Hindi]
Come, stand in line. [Hindi]
- Greetings brother!
- Greetings! [Hindi]
Didn't I tell you? [Marathi]
Did you make acquaintances here so quickly?
Wherever you are, make it a heaven. Ever heard that?
- No. I havent.
- Then hear it now.
How long has it been since
I saw a smile on Tara's face?
All because of you, Aala.
Our film is a big success.
Thank you.
Mother has come from native.
Yes, I know.
Mother is outside.
We got permission just for one person.
Mother asked me to
Good. Its better that mother doesnt see me
in this state.
I know Aala that you are furious with me.
Babukka asked me not to meet you
until the film was released.
Anger? Towards Tara?
Are you alright?
Yes now. With the success of our film.
Theres no greater comforting news
than this one.
We are moving for the bail.
It will be granted soon.
Let it all take its course.
Tara, celebrate this victory in a grand way.
Um. Shall celebrate after you are released.
Go, your time is up.
Go, go. Go straight. [Hindi]
Shall call you according to your number.
Stand there. [Hindi]
Your duty is in the kitchen.
What are you doing here? [Hindi]
- Aala.
- Um.
Keep moving. [Hindi]
Veera Ragavans servants
have given a statement against you. [Tamil]
So what will happen is...
giving the benefit of doubt, he might get bail. [Tamil]
If Aala comes out, in the evening
he will attend the function at the Film City
which will create a big problem for you.
Watch out! [Tamil]
Sir, I went there as per your advice. [Tamil]
There's good news.
Tara Janaki told me something. [Tamil]
Even if I dont do films again,
I will expose Ragavendra Desai,
the criminal to the press tomorrow.
The underworld owns Bollywood.
What an irony!
Sir, Tara Janaki has changed completely. [Tamil]
Her conduct and attitude has
changed drastically. [Tamil]
At this point, if Aala and Tara come together,
be careful. [Tamil]
Goswamy, all this will happen
only if she is alive [Hindi]
[crowd chanting]
Please stop for a moment.
- What is it, mother?
- Ill come now. One minute.
- Rosamma.
- Yes.
- Where are you going?
- I will tell you.
Mother...
Mother...
Mother...
Mother...
Mother...
- Mother!
- Quickly, take her to the hospital.
Catch him.
AalaTara.
Surprise!
Expecting someone else?
Wow! Its a beautiful house. [Hindi]
Are you alone.
Where are the others? [Hindi]
Are you going somewhere? [Hindi]
Oh yes! Your victory celebrations.
Rani Padmini.
Congratulations.
This victory that you made on your own
is exactly like your film. [Hindi]
Sorry sorry sorry sorry.
Not alone. [Hindi]
Aala, the lover boy.
Aala
From Diana,
I made you Tara Janaki. [Hindi]
Or else you would have been
living as Diana,
in the streets of this place
leading a miserable life. [Hindi]
Dont forget. [Hindi]
What did you think? You along with the
criminal from the South could finish me? [Hindi]
Finish? You? You were already finished [Hindi]
The miserable life that
you are talking about
is far better than the life
youve given me. [Hindi]
Wow!
But where is Aala? [Hindi]
His mother was just killed
in an accident. [Hindi]
[crowd screaming]
Tara...
Tara...
Babukka...
Babukka...
Babukka...
Babukka...
Aala...
Aala's death that I had witnessed
before my eyes, I saw it once again.
But the world has now seen who my Aala was.
Congratulations.
- My God, Sir.
- All the best.
- Hello.
- The film is good.
You know the story till 93.
Sakshi, dont you want to know
the story of these 30 years?
Who is this?
Alan Alexander Dominic
Aala
Did you think I wouldn't come back?
Im still alive
See you soon.
- Oh! Arjun Sir.
- Please have a seat.
- Thank you.
How are you? [Hindi]
- I'm good. How are you, Sir?
- Very good.
So tell me. How long did you take
to write the script? [Hindi]
At least a year and a half, Sir. [Hindi]
Nice.
Look, I know you must have worked
very hard in making the script. [Hindi]
Yeah.
But I've only 15 minutes
before the next shot. [Hindi]
So narrate a brief story for now. [Hindi]
If I like, we shall have a detailed
narration later. Okay? [Hindi]
- Okay Sir. [Hindi]
- Great! Please start.
Okay.
The story is set in the 1990s. [Hindi]
It begins on the Kashmir border. [Hindi]
We are leaving the end
slightly open-ended. [Hindi]
If people like the movie,
we can think about the second part. [Hindi]
The producer is also ready,
if your dates are available. [Hindi]
Nice.
But, I've already portrayed
a similar character. [Hindi]
I am looking for a role that
really challenges me as an actor.
I can understand.
You are an experienced
Associate Director, Sakshi.
Create something different
for your first movie. [Hindi]
Think of a fresh idea,
and work on it. [Hindi]
Sir, the shot is ready. [Hindi]
Coming.
Do not lose hope. [Hindi]
One day you'll make a huge hit. [Hindi]
Thank you for your time, Sir.
Shit!
- I'll call you.
- Okay.
Sister, what happened?
Did you narrate the story to the hero?
No.
It is evident on her face!
You go study.
Go
Study well and get a decent job
You go and take a shower,
I'll keep your food ready
Okay mother
Daughter,
I am not talking about your marriage
It's all your choice
I'm retiring next month,
the rent of this flat, the cost of living,
the loan taken for your education is not cleared yet.
Then its about her studies.
I don't know how to move forward.
I'm not advising you.
Cinema is a world of luck,
where a lakh of people wish for,
a hundred people get a chance,
and out of which only ten attain success
in this magical world of cinema.
If you can't be one of those ten,
then quit.
Daughter,
if you are able to earn a living,
it will be a relief for me.
In 1969 Maria Pusoo in his novel, the Godfather
has mentioned about the underworld.
It's a mystical world.
Once you're in, there is no way out.
Actually, it's apt for movies.
Cinema has only one door, the door inward.
Then there is no going out.
There is no way out.
My father always asks,
Sakshi, what guarantee is there in films?
Take yourself as an example.
You've given so many superhits.
And yet!
That's all because of what I did!
Arrogance, overconfidence.
As I started making hits continuously,
I felt that everything was under my feet.
Come sit.
You came to me to become a Director
It is difficult for me to do a film
But, you have it
So be confident
Leave out the stars.
Success is their priority.
No star has ever been
successful without a good story.
So, story is the important factor.
Go find yourself a good story
Okay?
Good.
Hey, where are you looking and driving? [Hindi]
Sorry Sir.
Cant you see? [Hindi]
Go go. Take away. [Hindi]
Have come to spoil my mood. [Hindi]
Shit!
Thanks.
What are you doing? Be careful.
Come on, clean fast. [Hindi]
Tara Janaki committed suicide in 1993,
at the peak of her career.
The dream girl of Bollywood.
It's doubtful whether there has been,
an artist like her before or even after.
She attended the same school as I.
I remember my teacher saying that
I resemble her, a little.
Why did she commit suicide?
Im not sure whether it was a suicide?
I have directed a movie with Tara
It was a huge hit
Tara Janaki, she was such a good actor, know?
What could be the reason
to make her commit suicide?
There is a strong reason behind any suicide
Ah reason. That reason...
See, Tara Janaki committed suicide or
whatever at the peak of her career
Doesn't that right there sound like a movie, Sir?
If the audience feels the curiosity
that you feel now Yes it is...
You are very fortunate, Madam [Hindi]
Because it is extremely difficult
to find a file that's 30 years old [Hindi]
Im doing this just for Rajeev Kumar Sir [Hindi]
Thank you so much.
However Madam, I dont think this file
will help you in any way. [Hindi]
This is a suicide, and
the report says the same. [Hindi]
Lets see. Perhaps it might be useful. [Hindi]
Thank you.
Welcome Madam.
I think we should go with these references.
Sakshi, it has changed from what
we mentioned yesterday.
Somebody is calling.
Are you sure about this?
Okay bye. Thanks.
Who was it?
We will get the album of
Tara Janaki's last film tomorrow.
Wow! Great!
[discussion]
Hey!
See this.
This person can be seen in all the photos.
What? Let me see. Come.
I've seen this guy somewhere.
This personsomewhere
There are two crore people
in Mumbai city alone.
How can we find this old man from among them?
That too a drunkard.
Even if we find him, will he remember?
See, I don't know if he's a drunkard
or whether he knows anything.
But for me, he is a reason.
As you said earlier,
from these two crore people
why should he come and hit my car?
Such a small world!
Exactly. Therefore, he will not
fail to appear before our eyes anyway.
HeyWhat is the matter? [Marathi]
How many times have I told you
not to let him in? Understand? [Hindi]
[abusing in Marathi]
You dont know , who I am! [Hindi]
Im Mirchi! Mirchi! [Hindi]
He doesnt know who I am. [Hindi]
He hasnt left anything to drink. [Hindi]
One day, I will destroy everything.
Destroy everything. [Hindi]
Excuse me, I would like to talk to you.
Go away. [Hindi]
Arent you a Malayali?
No.
Isnt your name Mirchi?
Yes. Everyone calls me that. [Hindi]
We want a help from you.
First, buy me a drink. [Hindi]
Later, you can seek help.
Oh man, we will arrange for it.
Dont worry. [Hindi]
Really? Make the order.
Make the order fast. [Hindi]
Sir, bring him two pegs. [Hindi]
Sir, not a peg, bring a bottle.
He has ordered. [Hindi]
Are you the one in this photo?
No, this is not me.
Please bring the bottle. [Hindi]
This person... This wont work.
We want to know about Tara Janaki.
Tara Janaki!
Who is she? [Hindi]
I don't know her.
I need to go.
Brother...
Brother, please
Please listen to me.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Sakshi.
It's been many years since
Ive been trying to do my first movie.
It was by accident that I landed upon
Tara Janakis story.
She left as though she had
something more to say in life.
Normally, cowards commit suicide.
Was she the same or
was she on drugs and committed suicide?
Who said it was a suicide? [Hindi]
Whos that? OhThats Mirchi.
Thats him. [Hindi]
Who told you that was a suicide?
Tell me. [Hindi]
So then was it a murder?
I dont know about that.
I need to go. Hey move aside. [Hindi]
- Go .
- Hey! [Hindi]
Oh God! That didnt go well.
But I think...
Oh... he hasnt gone.
My dear Mirchi brother,
I have no intentions to hurt
or trouble you.
Tara Janaki as a person,
or as a woman,
is not an artist who should go without mention
or be forgotten.
I would like to make her real story into a cinema
in the most authentic and honest way.
In an industry ruled by the heroes,
if not for a while,
there was a real heroine who excelled.
I want to tell the story of that heroine.
Who told you that Tara Janakis life
tells the story of only a heroine?
Who told you so?
In this story, there is a hero. [Hindi]
A real hero. [Hindi]
His name, [Hindi]
Aala.
A hero of the whole land.
We got it early in the morning,
either take it or leave it.
Babuka, please.
We netted in nine parts to get this sole fish.
Where is Aala?
Hey...
Sir, Im much older than you,
so dont call me this or that.
I have a name, Babu
or you can call me Babukka.
[Inspector annoyed] [crowd agitated]
Sir, this is Aalas harbour.
I want to meet Aala urgently, Babukka.
Rahelamme, hows your husband?
Hes fine now.
He became alright when he got what he needed.
Is he going for work?
Yes he's going.
Ahh.. . thats enough
Aala.
Yes, Babukka.
There's some problem.
The police are here.
CI Moideenkutty is
sitting in Hamsakas shop.
Did we send the load to Kozhikode?
Sent it two hours back.
Sent to Coimbatore as well.
Send to Mangalore only when I say.
Okay.
They haven't given the balance money yet.
What's this!
DySP Kurian Sir wants to meet Aala urgently.
So it's Kurian Sirs need,
I don't have time to come there.
If it's urgent, ask him to come home and
meet me.
Leave Sir.
Tell him, I said so.
Without leaving out anything I said.
[workers chattering]
What's up Girishetta?
Drank tea?
Yes, I drank.
Whats this?
It's been an hour since Stanley came.
Hes like his father,
He will return home
only after looking into the affairs of his people.
How do I know that Sir would come now?
Wasn't it you who told CI Moideenkutty,
that if it is so necessary,
to come home and meet you?
Is this the way to speak to Stanley?
Oh Mother! CI had asked me
to meet DySP Kurian.
Kurian is an irritating fellow.
Thats why I reacted in an irritating manner.
Drink your tea, I need to discuss
a matter with you.
[Radio News - Greetings.
Local news read by Susanna.]
What's the problem, Sir?
[Radio News - With regard to the murder
of an old couple, at Kallambalam in Kannur,]
[the accused haven't been found,
the police has not...]
Didn't you read in the newspaper
that an old couple was killed
and their money and jewellery
looted here in Kallambalam?
The details are there in this file.
They are outsiders, from Bombay.
The name of the gang leader is Rashid Khan.
Look, it is him.
Not only here but in many places in India,
he has been committing these atrocities.
He has strong support from the Maharashtra police.
Even if we take all the trouble to catch him,
we have to produce him in the transit court
and another 100 formalities to be followed.
He looks so decent.
In the meantime, many of the accused
will escape.
The son of the murdered couple has come from abroad.
He is pressuring the CM very much.
Because of that pressure, Im not able to sit back.
Once the killer is caught by the police,
the son's work is done. Isnt it, Sir?
So, what is my role in it?
You should catch that killer from Bombay.
Just help cross the border.
From Bombay?
Yes.
Sir, how can I do what the police cannot do
in Bombay city?
Bombay is not a place that you dont know.
Its not just Bombay,
I know many places in India.
Thats how huge are the issues,
my father had created.
That's all over.
Im not for anything, Sir.
This is my promise to my mother.
Sir, please dont force me.
- Stanley.
- Yes.
Give this to Molly.
He will do what Stanley has said.
- Oh mother!
- If this had happened to your mother?
I came here as Dominics wife who owned
10 to 25 boats and all these surroundings.
Do you know?
When your father lost everything with
the debt, case and other problems,
it was Stanley who supported us.
We shouldnt forget that.
It is nothing when compared to the favours
that his father has done for me.
No, please dont force him.
What is this!
[workers chattering]
Why is SP Sir here?
The police have given us a job.
We need to make a trip.
Where to?
To Bombay.
[crowd chattering]
Leave it. Nothing is going to happen. [Hindi]
Do you know about Rashid Khan? [Hindi]
He is a criminal beyond your imagination.
He has his gang not only in Bombay
but in other places too.
Even the police have failed in their efforts.
Have you come in search of him?
You better go back to Kerala. [Hindi]
We have driven 1200 kilometres to reach here.
Anyway, we can try seeing this monster
or if possible shall take him along.
Hey Babukka! Bombay has changed drastically
in the last four years.
He's a number one crook. [Hindi]
Its a dangerous game.
Do you still want to go ahead?
Let's play the game the dangerous way.
First you show me the players
and the ground.
[person whispering] Mirchi bhaiya,
they are seated in the deluxe. [Hindi]
Got him. Come lets go. [Hindi]
Hey sit down.
Why are you dancing? [Hindi]
Dont shout. [Hindi]
[crowd cheering]

Rashid Khan, who was accused in about
100 murder cases was hijacked overnight.
Thats my Aala...! [Hindi]
So, is Aala behind Tara Janakis murder?
Or did Aala kill Tara Janaki and
throw her from the top of the building?
For that, Tara Janaki was in Bombay
and Aala in Kerala.
Now I understand the story.
Aala came to Bombay with a new assignment.
Hey, shut up! [Hindi]
What did you ask?
Are you so stupid? [Hindi]
Who is this? [Hindi]
Sorry, this is my assistant.
Assistant
Brother... brother tell me
how did Aala and Tara Janaki meet?
Babukka, get a plate and have a dosa.
I have someone with me.
Call him too. He can have dosa.
No. He came to ask for a favour.
Dont people who ask for a favour eat dosas?
Well, I dont need your help.
Sit Rosamma and dont get up
until you have it.
Eat Rosamma.
This boy!
There is a shooting of a Hindi film
happening at the beach.
The moment the team arrived,
they created a scene.
All the locals were beaten and
chased away by the police.
So now, the natives
are not permitting to shoot.
Aala please...
Not at all Babukka, I have a lot of work to do.
If it's household chores, Ill do it.
Dont laugh, Rosamma.
Please go, dear.
Hey, the natives will do anything for you,
if you are good to them.
Dont try to terrify them using the police.
No
You leave, Ill come.
Is Amitabh Bachan and Sreedevi
part of your movie?
No. It's Tara Janaki.
Tara Janaki
[crowd talking]
Dassappa, why is there a commotion?
We came to watch the shooting.
Just watch it.
Why do you need to create a commotion?
They have come from far to our place for shooting.
They are our guests so we need to show
our love and respect.
Hence, everyone should cooperate. Okay?
Okay Aala.
Please make a way.
Sharadhamma, are you not having food properly?
Yes yes.
Hey please come here. [Hindi]
Hey Sir, what do you want? [Hindi]
- Im the Production Manager. [Hindi]
- Okay.
Sir, we have been explaining to these people
but they are not listening. [Hindi]
- These people?
- Yes Sir. [Hindi]
Everybody please move to this side.
Move to this side. Make it fast.
[men ushering the crowd]
Look Sir, they are our own people.
You can request them in a gentle way. Alright? [Hindi]
Sir, thank you for coming
but the shooting will not happen today.
What happened?
We have minor technical issues.
Oh is it?
So Tara Janaki would be free?
No she isnt free.
Please inform me if you need any help.
It looks like its going to rain now.
Is it?
Dont get the boats out.
Lets go to the harbour.
- Yes
- What is this?
I wanted to see.
Why say it out loud?
Aala, didnt you want to meet?
Though I wanted to, I didnt say it aloud.
Rosamma, Ive told you several times
not to sleep at the dining table.
Ill take a bath and have food.
Ill sleep after you eat.
I need to wash these dishes.
I will wash the dishes.
Get up and come.
Please leave me.
It's because you sleep late,
your blood pressure and sugar are shooting up.
Go sleep.
[music playing]
Tara Janaki?
Yes.
Mother
Dont shout. [Hindi]
Dont shout. [Telugu]
Dont shout. [Tamil]
Dont shout. Please listen to me.
Im sorry.
You know all the languages?
Why are you here?
Im in trouble.
How did you get in here?
I took the staircase.
The staircase from outside.
Yes.
Please help me.
I need to stay away for two days.
Alright, stay away.
Shall I stay here?
Here? Shall I call my mother?
No, no no. Please dont inform anyone.
Do you want water?
Sorry. I will bring it.
Did you have food?
Let me tell you
You can tell me everything peacefully.
You are safe here.
Your clothes are wet. I will come now.
Sit inside. Sit inside.
You can go inside. Go
What shall I do now?
Look, I got a dress for you.
Hello. Oh, did this open?
This is my mothers nightdress.
I dont know whether it will fit you. Try...
These are my clothes!
You are sleeping peacefully
by taking away my sleep.
Tara sundari.
- What?
- Police.
- Eh?
- Police.
What is it Babukka?
Are your calculations not right?
How can it go wrong, Sir?
Its been years since Ive been doing this.
Sir, why did you come in the morning?
I came to the Hotel Horizon which is nearby.
Whats there?
What to say! Hindi actor Tara Janaki
has gone missing since yesterday.
Ooh!
Its still confidential.
The paparazzi will create chaos
if they come to know of it.
Yes, yes.
How do these people move around
during the day?
Thats why she absconded at night.
Yes. But how do you know?
If they are out during the day,
they will be mobbed.
That too it's Tara Janaki, a great actor.
Son, I like her very much.
I have watched her songs in Chithrahar.
She looks so beautiful.
Please take me with you to meet her.
She will leave only after meeting Mother.
For that, we dont know where that girl
Stanley, dont leave
without having breakfast.
I shall make rice cake
and fish curry for you.
Okay.
Mother, take your time to prepare.
Sir is in a hurry.
What hurry?
To investigate about the
disappearance of an actor.
I shall have rice cake
and fish curry and then
Do you know who went missing?
- Who?
- Tara Janaki.
Let it be.
- Im a great fan of hers.
- Me too.
Then why do you wait to eat
rice cake and fish curry like greedy children?
So what's wrong with it?
Nothing wrong? Sir, dont you feel ashamed
to eat at this point of time.
Then I shall have it later.
Did Stanley leave?
Yes. Hes very busy.
Forced him to have food but he left.
Then you have.
Mother, bring tea.
Is black tea fine?
Where are you going with this?
I feel too hungry
so I shall have it after bath.
Why dont you have it here?
I can have it anywhere.
What happened to him?
SP came... to say that Tara Janaki is missing.
Dont worry. Its a secret investigation.
Please have this piping hot rice cake
and fish curry before it becomes cold.
You didnt have anything yesterday.
Do you like Kerala food?
I was raised in Kerala
till I was ten years old.
Thats why you are able to speak in Malayalam.
- I want to freshen up.
- You can.
So to take a shower and change?
Yes. To take a shower and change?
Actually, this dress suits you.
A lot more of my dresses are kept there.
Okay.
Or else I will go and buy a few dresses.
Aala, where are you going?
Babukka, you neednt come.
Ill come now. You go to the harbour.
Don't you have any other work?
Stay away.
They just take off on the bike early in the morning.
- Going to the bank.
- Okay.
- Come back quickly.
- Okay.
- Something is wrong! Banks don't work on Sundays?
- Yes, that's right!
Mother, the room is locked.
Locked? Whats wrong with him?
[workers chattering]
I bought some dress for myself.
I didnt say otherwise.
Babukka, didnt you go to the harbour?
Would I be here, if I had left?
The answer is correct but
my question was unnecessary.
Not just the question,
many other things.
Something is wrong!
- Where is mother?
- Shes in your room.
- Mother!
- What?
In my room?
Isnt my room locked?
Theres a spare key to that room.
I searched and found it. What?
Thank you.
You will put me to death.
- Hey man, why are you following me?
- What?
Babukka, why do you follow me?
Be here.
Now its better not to be here.
What happened to my mother?
What happened?
I cried out. That elderly
- Babukka?
- Yes.
Babukka came and laid her on the bed.
Occasionally she regains consciousness,
but becomes unconscious when she sees me.
I'm not at fault.
Absolutely not. You are not at fault.
Mother, look who has come. Rosamma!
Just sprinkle some water. She will wake up.
Please pour some water.
Rosamma, this is me. Get up.
Didn't the police come in search of her
in the morning?
- No.
- Yes.
- Really?
- Why did you kidnap her?
Mother, I did not kidnap her.
She entered by the staircase even without knocking.
My child, why did you come here?
- She came seeking help.
- What help?
This man She came for help.
She asked if she could stay here for 3 or 4 days?
- But why?
- Please come this side. Are you sick?
She asked if she could stay here for 3 or 4 days?
You know me. I didn't say no.
Did you inquire about her problem?
I forgot about that. In the midst of...
Actually, what is your problem?
Aala, have you heard about, identity crisis?
It was always there in my life.
Even in my name.
From St Marys orphanage in Kochi,
when I was ten years old,
I was adopted by Hema Janaki alias Hemaji.
I'm that innocent Diana.
From among many children who had only
a few faded dreams to share, Hemaji chose me.
That day, I lost everyone who was with me
till then.
She had a strange smell when she held me.
And when I reached Bombay,
I realized that it was the smell of those
who dream of cinema.
In Hemajis house, there were many other
children like me.
She taught everyone dance and music.
Despite trying her best,
she got nowhere in Bollywood.
We were her driving force.
She kept trying to get through
to Bollywood through one of us.
Every Sunday photographers
used to visit our house.
Photographs were sent to
magazines and production houses.
Finally I struck a chance.
Dont you know
what is happening in Gods land? [Tamil]
Why didnt you tell me? [Tamil]
Seeing the universe you created,
who is not ashamed? [Tamil]
- Muruga, Im not aware of anything.
- Stop it! [Tamil]
Cut it.
Come
The child is acting very well.
What is your name darling? [Tamil]
- Dian
- Tara. Tara Janaki
Tara. Very good. This child is going
to be a world renowned superstar [Tamil]
Congratulations dear [Tamil]
Then on, I came to be known as Tara Janaki.
Thereafter, for all the opportunities I received,
she started demanding money.
Later I was kept out of films
without acting as a child actor.
Instead Hemaji gave me another role.
Actually, I was happy to do it.
I stayed in that house for a few years
without even seeing the outside world.
One day Hemaji took me along with her
to RD Studios which was part of the RD Company.
It was for the audition of their new movie.
Same as today, the connection between
Bollywood and the underworld was evident.
There I met Ragavendra Desai for the first time.
When accused of several criminal cases,
he started film production to break his image.
The real criminal.
Many girls like me were present there.
Though there were other girls
who performed passionately,
the director liked me
who did it without any interest.
Lawbreaker is my name. What is it? [Telugu]
Do you want my address?
Rani, daughter of Padmini Rajeswari. [Telugu]
Look Sir, one day this girl
will conquer the whole world. [Hindi]
Make a film. [Hindi]
Yes.
Desai knew how to do business and he hired me.
Hemaji, who was greedy for money,
signed a five-year contract.
- Thank you Sir,
- Thank you.
The beginning of my career.
Fortunately or unfortunately,
I became a popular actor
but everything was dealt by the
RD Company owned by Ragavendra Desai.
He often says that he made me what I am.
So he owns me.
In a way it was right.
But there is a limit in taking that
freedom and privilege with someone else.
Last night, he crossed that limit.
In every way.
Although they gave me a life, that life is mine.
I cant suffer anymore. Im fed up.
What made you come to my house?
Kausalya, who was with me, told me about you, Aala who had come to help with the shooting.
I couldnt survive there that night.
I badly needed help.
She took me to your house
assuming that you could help me.
Oh!
I dont know how to settle this.
I need some time.
Until then, I need a shelter.
If you could help me?
The world famous Tara Janaki
has so many problems?
What do you want now?
A shelter. Thats all?
O dark clouds, O dark clouds,
have you seen her heart?
When Im burning inside,
you pour drops of honey.
Even if the stars fade away,
while standing alone on the path.
To erase the darkness on the edge,
I saw a ray of light.
When scorching sun makes summer,
while nurturing my dreams.
When wandering for a shelter,
someone comes like a shade in my way.
Near me... Near me... Near me...
Beyond the unending sea of agony,
bearing this heat of unbearable pain.
Everything melts in the fire,
finally there will be a new dawn.
Beyond the unending sea of agony,
bearing this heat of unbearable pain.
Everything melts in the fire,
finally there will be a new dawn.
Voice.. voice.. a soft gentle voice..
Heart.. my heart.. was touched by the soft voice..
I long to wear wings.. long to.. long to..
Bring back a smile on my face.. smile.. smile..
Without anyone knowing.
To enjoy the beauty of every season,
Like a butterfly in the shade of a flower.
Beyond the unending sea of agony,
bearing this heat of unbearable pain.
Everything melts in the fire,
finally there will be a new dawn.
O dark clouds, O dark clouds,
have you seen her heart?
When Im burning inside, you pour
drop of honey, drop of honey, drop of honey...#
Beyond the unending sea of agony,
bearing this heat of unbearable pain.
Everything melts in the fire,
finally there will be a new dawn.
Stop the vehicle.
Reverse the car.
Sir.
Normally, the gates are not closed.
You check if someone is inside.
- Open the gate!
- Yes Sir.
- Is there someone inside?
- Yes Sir.
- Why is the gate closed?
- Nothing Sir.
Bring the next dosa.
You are enjoying your meal
keeping the gate closed.
Entire police force in Kerala
are searching for this girl...
Sir, thats because...
I trusted you blindly. Thats my fault.
Good.
Move aside.
- Come here. Did CI notice Tara?
- I think he did.
Theres no point talking about it.
CI Moideen would have already informed
all those who need to be informed.
In order to help Tara, giving her a shelter
will not solve the problem.
I have been involved in this case for the past few days.
They are highly influential.
It is not as easy as you think.
Come Tara, I shall drop you.
I shall speak to them.
No, I wont.
Tara, listen to me,
you are a well-known actor across India.
Stanley, give me a minute.
You come here.
Whats it mother?
Do you like her?
- Mother, what are you saying?
- You must speak to her.
If you marry her,
wont that solve the problem?
Mother... Mother thats Tara Janaki.
She stayed with us for a few days.
It doesnt mean that we can talk about marriage.
How do we know what's in her mind?
Whats in your mind?
Aala...
Aala... Leave.
Aala...
Hey hey!
- Leave me.
- Leave her.
You cant take Tara from here
without her permission.
Hey! Move aside!
I've seen a lot of police.
Dont interfere!
Dont show nonsense by sending these ruffians!
This is my land.
Aala, let them talk.
Without your permission,
we wont take you anywhere.
Didnt that happen
because of a misunderstanding?
Leave it.
Daughter,
I did it for your good
You didn't understand.
From now on, I wont force you to do anything.
Come get in the car.
Tara, the contract between us
will expire after this film. [Hindi]
Then you are free,
Free from me and my company [Hindi]
We dont have shoot here anymore.
We can go to Bombay.
Come daughter, get in the car
Otherwise they will have to suffer [Hindi]
My life is always like this.
When I begin to feel happy,
God doesn't like it.
You shouldn't suffer because of me.
Nothing...
I wont forget.
Thank you.
Aala was deeply in love with Tara, wasn't it?
And he let her go?
He expected her to return.
Aala eagerly waited for her call.
Then?
She was a heroine! Very popular heroine. [Hindi]
Where are you going?
To Bombay?
This mother knows, why you are going.
For whatever it is, dont go alone.
Shall I go and come?
Go and come.
[people chattering]
There are a lot of children!
Let me just experiment my Hindi.
Hey mother, where is Mirchi? [Hindi]
He is there. [Hindi]
- Look, my Hindi worked out.
- She is a Malayali.
- Hey Mirchi...
- Hey Mirchi...
Hey who is it? [Hindi]
- Mirchi.
- Hello Aala. How are you? [Hindi]
Out!
Look here. Look there. [Hindi]
Since you came, I shall take these cut outs
and put them in the back of your car.
Take it.
Why didnt you bring the truck
and dogs? What is this!
Babukka, you can take a look
from the top of this fort.
One side is our slum and
the other is a different world.
None of us can peer into
the moneyed man's dazzling world.
Your Tara Janaki belongs there. [Hindi]
She would have come home and
stayed with you, for her own purpose.
She may not even remember you.
Stupid, Crazy, Understood? [Hindi]
Stop it!
In which movie Tara is acting currently,
where does she stay?
Just find out these two things.
No more Hindi is required.
Aala wanted to see Tara, so he came.
Thats it. Isnt it, Aala?
If you are serious, we will surely meet her.
Done Babukka.
Now I will take care of everything. [Hindi]
- Hmm.
- I will handle everything.
- Let me just check. [Hindi]
- Hmm.
Hey...
- What can I do for you Sir?
- Speak in Hindi. [Hindi]
What can I do for you Sir? [Hindi]
I want to meet Tara Janaki. [Hindi]
Whats your name? [Hindi]
Mirchi.
No no. Say, its Aala from Kerala. [Hindi]
- Hello.
- Maam, one Mr. Aala is here to see you.
- No, I don't know anyone like that.
- Okay Maam.
Sorry Sir. Madam told that
she doesnt know anyone called Aala. [Hindi]
Hey! We too have seen Sridevi and Maduri Dixit.
Tara Janaki is no bigger than that.
Just tell me her room number? [Hindi]
Dont Mirchi. Come.
It may not be Tara who picked up the phone.
Anyway she will come down, then we will meet.
We shall wait. Come.
We will be here! [Hindi]
- Aala.
- Hm.
[commotion]
Go speak to her. [Hindi]
Tara.
Tara.
Tara.
Here, the best medicine to forget the past. [Hindi]
I never even dreamt
she would pretend that she didnt see us.
People in cinema behave like murrel.
Babukka, look.
This is Kasim bhai.
Kasim bhai came to Bombay
because of his love for Hema Malini.
Hema Malini isn't even
aware of a Kasim bhai.
She is happily married to Dharmendra.
This is his job now.
Do you know how to dance like this?
I can arrange something for you.
Whats this?
- One more.
- Say something thats useful.
These women will kill men
by making them drink too much.
Thats my experience!
Let's leave this matter here.
Neither do we know about movies
nor any movie actor.
This city smells of blood.
Let's go back tomorrow.
Hey stop, isn't that Tara's maid?
Tara wants to meet Aala.
Could you please come? [Tamil]
Aala, you have changed a lot.
You look slim.
I mean you are looking good.
Sorry. It was Hemaji who spoke
over the phone in the morning.
I saw you when I got out for the shoot.
But Desais people and Hemaji were with me.
Hmm.
Aala, why are you so quiet?
Hmm.
The movie that was shot in Kerala...?
Actually, the shooting was over.
They werent satisfied with the climax,
so they are reshooting it.
With that, the agreement with Desai will end.
Then Im free.
I want to live my life like its mine.
When are you going back home, Aala?
I havent decided yet. I need to go back.
Oh...
so you are going back?
Anyway, thank you for coming.
I never expected this.
If I hadnt come?
Madam, Hemaji will reach now. [Tamil]
Leave.
We shall meet.
We will be at Venus Studio for a couple of days.
If you can, please do come.
- Goodnight.
- Bye.
[people shouting]
As per Tara's invitation,
we visited Venus Studio to watch the shoot.
But Desai and Hema Janaki's plan
was not merely a shoot.
We had met in Kerala during the shoot.
Please sit inside, shooting is going on. [Hindi]
- That day at the beach?
- Yes, the same person. [Hindi]
Cut it!
Ill come in a bit. Five minutes.
This movie stunt is not an easy task?
What! This is an adjustment hit
without touching the body.
- Is this alright, Madam?
- Yes. [Hindi]
Action
She is performing the fight remarkably well
I know him. [Hindi]
I know him.
This is a trap. They are not cinema fighters.
I know them.
They are criminals from Dharavi and Andheri.
There is some problem.
[people shouting]
What the hell is happening?
Raricha take the vehicle.
Mirchi, take the vehicle.
Desai wished that Tara Janaki should no longer
be alive after their agreement was over.
Desai decided to use Tara Janakis death
as a promotional tool for her last movie.
Babukka, be here. Mirchi, come with me.
Do you know Desais office?
- Yes, I know.
- Then get in.
Okay.
Ill call you back.
Here, you might be a big producer or don
or whatever! It doesnt matter to me. [Hindi]
Listen, hereafter if I see you
anywhere near Tara,
then you'll know who this Aala is...
Understood? [Hindi]
First, you rescue the heroine. Hm. [Hindi]
Then you take her to the hospital. Wow! [Hindi]
Then you barge into my house and... [Hindi]
And threaten me. [Hindi]
Hero, Typical hero.
But unfortunately this time,
you chose the wrong place. [Hindi]
My friend will put an end to your drama. [Hindi]
Next is about Tara. [Hindi]
I made her and I can finish her too. [Hindi]
Thats how my universe works.
What can I do?
One more thing,
the hero doesnt talk much. [Hindi]
He just acts. Understand? [Hindi]
The great film producer in Bombay,
Ragavendra Desai shot dead. [Hindi]
I knew you would do this.
So 15 minutes back, an anonymous call
was made to the police headquarters. [Hindi]
But you are still alive.
I dont even need a gun to make this news real.
Dont forget that! [Hindi]
From the hospital,
Aala moved into a new flat with Tara Janaki.
That is
Tulsi Apartment
Come in Sister. This is our own apartment. [Hindi]
- It s completely ours. [Hindi]
- Mirchi
- What? [Hindi]
- This way.
I thought it was a temple.
O God! Thank you. Touchings... [Hindi]
What's this!
Hey, stop this.
My hands got burnt.
I took the camphor thinking it was laddu (sweet).
Beautiful!
At least this must be provided
for Tara Janakis stay.
All the Gods are here.
- You are confused about whom I worship.
- Nothing like that.
- Come. [Hindi]
- Is it hot, sister?
- Thank you sister. [Hindi]
- Are you mixing it with milk?
Everything reaches the same place.
This drink can be had with any food.
If you have it with rice, it replaces sambar.
That's all, Babukka.
We need to do a bit more work here.
To organise and chart out the projects
you have already committed,
I've appointed a manager.
We need a person like that.
His name is Goswamy.
He has done other
Madam, Goswamy has worked with
Malini Madam. I know him very well. [Tamil]
Thank you.
Theres a good view from here.
It is very windy in the evenings.
The highlight is the sea breeze.
Whos that? [Hindi]
- Hello Sir.
- He has come.
- Im Goswamy, Besant Nagar...
- Yes, understood.
Ive worked with Hema Malini till Manthagini.
All different characters.
But I was the only Manager.
- Excellent! [Hindi]
- However, I have a big problem. [Tamil]
What is that? [Tamil]
Till now, I havent cheated anybody. [Tamil]
That's good.
Its good you told us otherwise we would
have misunderstood you. Isnt it, Babukka?
Yes.
You are a good man.
Hello Sir. Hello Madam.
Hi.
- Goswamy, please have a seat.
- Sir if I sit, blood circulation will reduce. [Tamil]
- Is that so?
- Yes. [Tamil]
So Goswamy, how shall we take it forward?
If both of you could discuss the details
Sir, after you called, I did a detailed enquiry (Tamil)
She has been removed from
all the 4 projects she was part of. [Tamil]
Sir, Ragavendra Desai is responsible for all this. [Tamil]
He is so powerful in Bollywood.
It is not possible to make a film
in Bombay ignoring him. [Tamil]
Okay Sir, you leave that. [Tamil]
Theres a big producer called
Santhanam in Madras. [Tamil]
Hes planning to do a Hindi movie
in Bombay for the first time. [Tamil]
I heard the script. Its amazing.
You too listen to the narration [Tamil]
From there, we can take a call Sir.
Who is the hero?
Theres no hero, only a heroine. [Tamil]
I understand, its Phoolan Devis story,
the Queen of Chambal? [Hindi]
No. It is the story of Queen Rani Padmini
that happened 200 years ago. [Tamil]
Sashikanth, please narrate the story. [Tamil]
Sure sir.
See, the whole story is about the kingdom of Chittorgarh.
Did you like the story?
Yes.
In the end, Rani should not have committed suicide.
History is often like that,
you can die in the fight for justice.
But if there is truth, people will
always treasure it. Just like this story.
But there is a problem, if you do this film.
You will have to bow your head
in front of the President of India.
- For what?
- To receive the award.
The story is fantastic.
You have done a great job. [Hindi]
If you could confirm a date,
it would be good. [Tamil]
Why do you need to think
about confirmation?
This is going to be Madams next film.
Please agree.
Then we can have the pooja
on the very next auspicious day.
Move to the side. [Hindi]
[people talking]
We are the uninvited guests. [Hindi]
Im your mother. Even if you dont invite me,
I can't refrain from coming.
If I dont come, what will the media
and industry think? [Hindi]
It wont affect my career
but it will affect your career.
I dont wish that to happen,
because I care about you Tara.
Santhanam is a good producer. [Hindi]
Hes lucky.
By the way, where is he? [Hindi]
Madam don't get tense hearing this.
The producer Santhanam,
heard that he died in an accident while coming here [Tamil]
Really sorry to hear about this Tara.
Your movie is over even before it started. [Hindi]
Dont know what to do Sir! [Tamil]
What is this, Sir? [Tamil]
But, dont worry.
Im ready to produce this film, just for you.
And only for you. [Hindi]
But on one condition. [Hindi]
Our old agreement.
Well have a few small, fresh changes?
Agree, child
At this point, no one
will take up this film. Dont be stubborn
It is better to cooperate with the
RD Company for your future.
For whose future?
Tara Janaki or Hema Janakis future?
Let's go.
Hemaji, you are capable of doing many things.
You can stop movies from happening,
create road accidents. But don't think that
you can buy someone's talent and career.
Tara will produce this movie.
Hello.
Tara will produce this movie,
that too on the same date. [Hindi]
Tara Janaki levels up her game.
All set to step foot into production.
Oh God! What will I do now?
Do you know the kind of money
you require to produce a movie?
Moreover, a historical movie.
Oh! God!
Goswamy, how much will it come up to?
Sir only with a script
can we calculate the budget. [Tamil]
Considering that, it will be over ten crores
for this movie. [Tamil]
- Ten crores?
- Yes.
I thought we could finish it for two crores.
Sir, what a joke. With that amount
we can make a Malayalam movie. [Tamil]
This is a Hindi movie. In the 80s we would
need 2 to 3 crores. But in the 90s,
being a historical movie,
a minimum amount of
ten crores or more. [Tamil]
I dont have money.
Hema Janaki has taken away whatever I earned.
We dont need this movie.
I cant take this risk.
Sir, since this news has come in the newspaper,
and if this film does not happen,
Tara Janakis career will come to an end. [Tamil]
I can make the money.
Babukka, just go home and come.
Super Sir. You just need to provide funds
in the beginning. [Tamil]
Later on, I can get big financiers from Bombay
to do it. I know them well. [Tamil]
Then whats the problem?
We can start the shooting.
Cut it!
Catch it. Move this side.
You go back. [Hindi]
Madam.
Good evening Sir.
Hello. Hows it going?
Is everything fine? [Tamil]
Its going on. If we dont pay the bata
this evening, the shooting will stop. [Tamil]
The financiers in Bombay are not ready
to fund this project. [Tamil]
Why do you say that?
You had assured that once the film starts [Tamil]
you would get the funds rolling from here and there. [Tamil]
I spoke the fact.
But the moment we clashed with Desai,
nobody is willing to provide funds. [Tamil]
What Sir? [Tamil]
What Sir, what can we do now? [Tamil]
Im also confused. [Tamil]
Goswamy Sir, the Director
is calling you. [Hindi]
One minute. Sir, the Director is calling.
Ill come now. [Tamil]
The shooting should continue.
I have no idea what to do.
Whats it, Babukka?
Many people are asking
why the fishing boats were sold.
Did my mother ask?
Mother didnt ask but
she has come to know about it.
As soon as I landed today with the cash,
around 75 lakh rupees were spent.
Dont know how it disappeared.
This is quite a risk.
We have money to move on
only for a week.
Only if people like the movie,
we will get back the investment.
Should we do this?
Babukka, don't advise me on this.
I didn't mean it.
Babukka, don't say anything against me.
I have made a promise.
[giving instructions for shooting]
If nothing works out,
theres another way to make money.
How?
Ill say.
But for that, I want the Aala
that I've seen in the past.
Alan Alexander Dominic.
Aala.
Hmm.
I was waiting for a person like you.
I had read about you in the
Dominic case which was closed in 1988.
Bombay is a strange city. [Tamil]
In 1988 Bombay was the same as
how Chicago was in the 1930s. [Tamil]
Only after Dominic's problems were soughted out
and he left for hometown,
I was posted here. [Tamil]
Stop there. [Tamil]
My wife and two children came to Bombay. [Tamil]
The 1990 Anti Terrorist Squad was created. [Tamil]
Ahmed Khan and I were the first officers. [Tamil]
It was sleepless nights
not only for Bombay city,
but also for the underworld
criminals in Bombay. [Tamil]
After work, I come back straight home
to my wife and children. [Tamil]
That was my world. [Tamil]
- Hey.
- Dad, look at this. [Tamil]
Hey, no no.
without my knowledge, all the criminals
joined together
and planned to finish me
at the right time. [Tamil]
Father... [Tamil]
No... Don't do anything. [Tamil]
Please leave him. [Tamil]
- Father...
- Baby please don't go. [Tamil]
- Oh God what happened!
- Mother... [Tamil]
Father... [Tamil]
- Mother...
- Hey... [Tamil]
Father... [Tamil]
Father... [Tamil]
Four years. [Tamil]
My dear children. [Tamil]
Lovable childern. [Tamil]
If they were with me, this would have been
the time to join college. [Tamil]
My eldest daughter was adamant
to join St Xaviers College. [Tamil]
My little baby, was too smart
& too playful. [Tamil]
She wouldnt study. [Tamil]
I was her world. I was her whole world. [Tamil]
There is not much time,
within that you have to kill everyone. [Tamil]
You need money
and I need a peaceful death. [Tamil]
Whatever you say. [Tamil]
Aala walked out from there
without uttering a word.
Aala had sleepless nights.
Those 2 children disturbed Aalas sleep.
Later it became Aalas problem.
Always does this. But dont worry. [Hindi]
I know how to fix it. You should always
stay away from such people. [Hindi]
True, lets escape, fast. [Hindi/Marathi]
Ah! What happened? [Hindi]
Hey! Stop! [Hindi]
Hey hero! Remove the vehicle.
This is one way. [Hindi]
Blocking a runway is no big deal for me.
So why would I care about your one-way.
Is there any issue between us? [Hindi]
Veeraraghavan IPS.
So he has assigned this contract? [Hindi]
Hey, clear my way. [Hindi]
Bombay city sees another shocking murder.
Notorious gang leader Bala
was shot dead last night
While the police remain unresponsive,
the crimes in the city are on a rise.
A noted gangster, Munna was
shot dead last night in Bombay. [Hindi]
According to sources,
the killer is from South India,
and the police investigation
is progressing. [Hindi]
Song is very important, Sir.
It is with the song, 90% of the movie... [Tamil]
What is it, Babukka?
The Director wants to
shoot the song next week.
Hundreds of dancers, the costumes, the set.
All these require a huge sum of money.
- Do not detract from anything.
- We need money for that.
There is an amount of two crores
in the back of the car. Take it.
Eh!
Two crores? From where did you get it?
Borrowed it. It has to be returned.
- Who gave it?
- Babukka.
- Eh?
- No, someone like you, another Babukka.
Then let the song happen.
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
O sweet little bird. Bird of my palace.
Queen of my heart.
My precious groom. My brave heart,
who is my king.
The royal flag will fly,
in the streets of Malwa.
Was he 100 fold attractive,
when he came to see me?
Dame with a sweet smile.
My dream girl.
Even the Greek beauty will lose,
with the goddess of my life.
In the hand with shining bangle,
I will join my hand.
Make you my bride,
and take you with me.
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
When my hero touches me,
I bloom like a fragrant flower.
The palace of Mewar,
and I belong to you.
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
It's becoming dark,
the path is fading.
What if someone comes,
to take her.
Let any Sultan come,
with his army.
With the heat of my sword,
I will protect you.
You are in my heart,
my precious grape nectar.
If you come to me,
Ill pour like wine.
In a gold-studded palanquin,
you came as a moonlight.
You are the stone studded
gold of Kolar.
You are my eyes.
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
Rau rau ra rakkaa rakka
If my dear touches me,
I will bloom like a flower.
The palace of Mewar,
and I belong to you.

Who did this? What is his name?
Can you identify him? [Hindi]
This is him. [Hindi]
Take from the left. [Hindi]
Action.
[crowd panicking]
Come fast. [Hindi]
Hey hey! Stop, stop. Where are you going?
Why is the police here?
Im from the Bombay police. [Hindi]
Hey, whats happening? [Hindi]
Catch him. [Hindi]
I'm telling you. Leave me . [Hindi]
Bring him here. [Hindi]
- Do you know him, Madam?
- Yes.
- How do you know him?
- He is Aalas friend.
- Which Aala?
- Eh!
Are they partners?
Didn't you hear me?
Is Aala and Mirchi
providing funds for your film?
- Yes.
- Do you know the source of their funds?
He is the suspect in two murders
that took place in the last two weeks.
Along with him another Malayali.
The first is the one you mentioned, Aala.
There are about 20 cases against him.
Put him in the vehicle. [Hindi]
What happened? Whats the problem?
Why is the police here?
Tara, why is the police here?
Im asking the same question.
Why is the police here?
Is Aala a criminal? Murderer?
I need to meet him.
- I dont know where Aala is.
- I must see him.
Im having a headache answering the press. [Tamil]
What are you looking at?
I checked to see if the police were here.
If you are caught from here,
the news will spread
that a criminal was arrested
from Tara Janakis flat.
I dont have an answer for
the questions raised by the police and press.
Actually, who are you?
In the name of a movie,
my image was being utilised.
You cheated me.
Please do not come here anymore.
I'll pay back the amount
you have spent for me.
This film wont happen.
Tara, please dont stop this movie
just because you are angry at me.
This film is Taras future.
My future?
Tomorrow the news will be about the
illicit relationship between you and me.
With that ends my future.
Please dont come before me again.
Why are you doing this?
It feels awful. [Tamil]
Dont stop the shooting
even if Tara insists.
Always be with her.
Inform Babukka that the funds
for the shooting will arrive on time.
Aala, Mirchi was caught by the police?
The police are looking for you too. [Tamil]
How did you come here? [Tamil]
Shouldn't I come here anyway? [Tamil]
Weve moved for Mirchi's bail.
Leave it Sir. Who is next? [Tamil]
Ragavendra Desai.
He is known to be a prominent producer
in Bollywood. [Tamil]
From my encounter list, he was
the only criminal and target who escaped. [Tamil]
Bad
Today, the audio launch of his film
is happening at The Taj Hotel. [Tamil]
Hes staying there. Room No. 202. [Tamil]
Before tomorrow's sunset,
you will hear the news of Desais death. [Tamil]
It was okay.
I feel we could have done better.
Why did you keep this suit here?
Put it here. [Hindi]
Thank you Sir.
Just keep my schedules on time for tomorrow because I need to be there.
Sure Sir.
- I hope you are happy?
- Yes, of course. Thank you, Sir.
- Sir.
- Yes.
- Excuse me.
- Your room is ready.
- See you soon. Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
Okay.
Aala.
How are you?
Im great.
Welcome.
Aala.
Thats for you.
Hello.
Ragavan. Veeraragavan IPS
Veer Ragavan.
Will you get back everything
after killing me? [Hindi]
Aala. I want to hear him scream. [Hindi]
Aala, finish him.
A call was made to the police headquarters
15 minutes back. [Hindi]
It was not anonymous.
I had made the call. [Hindi]
Take him.
Move move.
Hey move. [Hindi]
Move. [Hindi]
[crowd protesting]
Move. Let's go.
Today I will show you who I am. [Hindi]
Move forward. [Hindi]
Hey, keep moving. [Hindi]
What are you looking at?
Move forward. [Hindi]
Today I will show you who I am. Move. [Hindi]
Veer Ragavan.
What did you think? [Hindi]
By giving money to a stranger and with a gun
in his hand, you thought you could kill me? [Hindi]
No.
When Munna and Bala were killed,
I came to know that you were behind this. [Hindi]
Im not afraid to die.
Shoot. Shoot me here. [Hindi]
Dont miss this time.
Look straight and shoot. [Tamil]
Aala and Mirchi, both are in jail. [Hindi]
Hmmm.
The shooting of the film has stopped. [Hindi]
We have already mentioned
about the heroines suicide [Hindi]
Hmm
So is this the climax? [Hindi]
Im glad I have your attention, Sir.
I will answer all your questions
in the next reading.
You can go for the shot
and come over. [Hindi]
Sir, the shot is ready. [Hindi]
Yes coming.
- Ill wait for you.
- Im impressed.
I'm coming. [Hindi]
Lets go.
Though Tara in a sudden fit of anger had told
Aala that she would stop the shooting,
later she changed
her decision as everybody insisted.
But...
Madam, we can shoot only for one more day.
We are running out of funds. [Tamil]
And the most important thing.
If there is a schedule break,
the bata and other charges
will sum up to 70-80 lakhs. [Tamil]
Madam, theres only one way
to get out of the problem. [Tamil]
Just once, call Desai. [Tamil]
It is better that I commit suicide. [Tamil]
Ayyoo.. che!
[film shooting noice]
Cut cut.
Cut hey!
- Hey.
- Ha.
Sorry guys. Five minutes. I need a break.
- Oh sorry. Babubhai sorry.
- Ha
Break. Well do it in ten minutes. [Hindi]
Do you know me?
Theres no wonder even if you say no.
Sit, mother.
I got to know from them that
my son is producing a film in your name.
I dont know the agreement between both of you.
I dont want to know either.
Don't stop the shoot of this movie
due to lack of money.
The required funds are in this suitcase.
Dont worry about the money.
We sold our house.
You might remember the house.
Since Dominics death, he hasnt gone anywhere
leaving his home and surroundings.
Still, he came to see you.
Stayed here for a long time.
He is like that.
He will do anything for those he loves so much.
He started film production just for you.
I will not blame you for his present condition.
But if he threw his life away for this,
I do realise what you are to him.
We had been here for a long time, in Bandra.
His father made a mistake and
it was Aala who had to face the consequences.
Still he did not give away his father
but the son became a criminal.
You do the film peacefully.
Anyhow, I will not leave here without my son.
This movie will soon be released,
and will be a huge success.
You will gain everything you wished for.
You must get it.
That will make him happy.
Aala was denied bail by the court.
But I got bail.
The following month on the 16th,
the court again considered Aala's bail.
Despite Aala being in jail, Tara Janaki
overcame all odds and completed Rani Padmini.
Rani Padmini. Yeah!.
Sorry, sorry.
Rani Padmini.
Please move, friend. [Hindi]
Yeah! [crowd cheering]
Aala is my friend. [Hindi]
[crowd cheering]
Daughter, this is mother.
The film is very good. My heart is full.
[woman crying]
Sir, let me meet once more. [Hindi]
Its not possible. [Hindi]
Do just what Sir has asked you to. [Hindi]
Even when I came last time,
I was not allowed to see. [Hindi]
I'm telling you,
there's no point crying before me. [Hindi]
- Greetings Aala! [Hindi]
- Um.
Stop the noice. [Hindi]
Silence! [Marathi]
Hey will see! And for how long will you sit? [Marathi]
Go there. [Hindi]
Come, stand in line. [Hindi]
- Greetings brother!
- Greetings! [Hindi]
Didn't I tell you? [Marathi]
Did you make acquaintances here so quickly?
Wherever you are, make it a heaven. Ever heard that?
- No. I havent.
- Then hear it now.
How long has it been since
I saw a smile on Tara's face?
All because of you, Aala.
Our film is a big success.
Thank you.
Mother has come from native.
Yes, I know.
Mother is outside.
We got permission just for one person.
Mother asked me to
Good. Its better that mother doesnt see me
in this state.
I know Aala that you are furious with me.
Babukka asked me not to meet you
until the film was released.
Anger? Towards Tara?
Are you alright?
Yes now. With the success of our film.
Theres no greater comforting news
than this one.
We are moving for the bail.
It will be granted soon.
Let it all take its course.
Tara, celebrate this victory in a grand way.
Um. Shall celebrate after you are released.
Go, your time is up.
Go, go. Go straight. [Hindi]
Shall call you according to your number.
Stand there. [Hindi]
Your duty is in the kitchen.
What are you doing here? [Hindi]
- Aala.
- Um.
Keep moving. [Hindi]
Veera Ragavans servants
have given a statement against you. [Tamil]
So what will happen is...
giving the benefit of doubt, he might get bail. [Tamil]
If Aala comes out, in the evening
he will attend the function at the Film City
which will create a big problem for you.
Watch out! [Tamil]
Sir, I went there as per your advice. [Tamil]
There's good news.
Tara Janaki told me something. [Tamil]
Even if I dont do films again,
I will expose Ragavendra Desai,
the criminal to the press tomorrow.
The underworld owns Bollywood.
What an irony!
Sir, Tara Janaki has changed completely. [Tamil]
Her conduct and attitude has
changed drastically. [Tamil]
At this point, if Aala and Tara come together,
be careful. [Tamil]
Goswamy, all this will happen
only if she is alive [Hindi]
[crowd chanting]
Please stop for a moment.
- What is it, mother?
- Ill come now. One minute.
- Rosamma.
- Yes.
- Where are you going?
- I will tell you.
Mother...
Mother...
Mother...
Mother...
Mother...
- Mother!
- Quickly, take her to the hospital.
Catch him.
AalaTara.
Surprise!
Expecting someone else?
Wow! Its a beautiful house. [Hindi]
Are you alone.
Where are the others? [Hindi]
Are you going somewhere? [Hindi]
Oh yes! Your victory celebrations.
Rani Padmini.
Congratulations.
This victory that you made on your own
is exactly like your film. [Hindi]
Sorry sorry sorry sorry.
Not alone. [Hindi]
Aala, the lover boy.
Aala
From Diana,
I made you Tara Janaki. [Hindi]
Or else you would have been
living as Diana,
in the streets of this place
leading a miserable life. [Hindi]
Dont forget. [Hindi]
What did you think? You along with the
criminal from the South could finish me? [Hindi]
Finish? You? You were already finished [Hindi]
The miserable life that
you are talking about
is far better than the life
youve given me. [Hindi]
Wow!
But where is Aala? [Hindi]
His mother was just killed
in an accident. [Hindi]
[crowd screaming]
Tara...
Tara...
Babukka...
Babukka...
Babukka...
Babukka...
Aala...
Aala's death that I had witnessed
before my eyes, I saw it once again.
But the world has now seen who my Aala was.
Congratulations.
- My God, Sir.
- All the best.
- Hello.
- The film is good.
You know the story till 93.
Sakshi, dont you want to know
the story of these 30 years?
Who is this?
Alan Alexander Dominic
Aala
Did you think I wouldn't come back?
Im still alive
