Kaalidhar Laapata (2025) Movie Script
Brother!
- Wait a second.
- Sorry.
Let's go inside.
- Move back.
- We're leaving.
- Sorry.
- Give us a minute.
- It's over, give us some space.
- Watch your step.
What were you doing, brother?
We have to go in.
Why do you keep going off like this?
Excuse us.
Watch your step.
Careful.
Doctor, please give us a solution.
There's no solution.
His condition is going to get worse.
He is forgetting things.
Soon, he'll start hallucinating.
He'll start seeing things
that aren't there.
We can't run after him all day.
Get a nurse for him.
- One second.
- But the nurse...
Keep this.
This will keep him calm.
It'll help you.
He'll live
his last few days comfortably.
Ask him how many days.
How long does he have?
Let's talk to brother again.
He might agree to sell the house
and land.
I see...
You've started daydreaming now.
Do you exist just to fight with me?
No, no. I got married and moved
to your house to clean your latrine.
- We've given him the medicine.
- Fine.
And the Rs. 20,000 loan for
his hospital fees
we have to take every time?
Do you have a plan to repay
the loan?
Why don't you share
your master plan?
Mange has a plan.
End it once and for all.
What are you doing here?
Just putting some phenyl balls down
to get rid of the roaches.
You've turned white with fear.
Hey!
It's not like we do this every day.
Forget it.
You can't pull it off.
There's an another way out.
Tell us.
Get rid of him at the Kumbh Mela.
Kumbh Mela?
But people go looking for
their lost ones there.
Then don't go looking.
Sometimes...
he even forgets his name
and address.
He won't be able to return home.
They have camps
to take care of lost people.
This is a good idea too.
What a great idea!
Why were you selling us
that expensive injection?
Property in the name of...
- What are you doing?
- Just checking.
Put it back.
I wanted to make sure...
Be calm.
Everything is going according to plan.
You keep coming back.
Hope your in-laws don't mind.
No.
Keep this.
I don't want to go into the water.
- But it's the holy river--
- No!
Okay, fine. You don't have to.
Wait here.
We'll go for the holy dip.
Should we get the return ticket?
Haste makes waste.
Since we've come this far,
let's go for a dip.
Let's go.
Hail Lord Shiva!
Show me your palm.
Where are you from, sir?
Sehore.
What's your name?
What's your name?
Your planets are not aligned.
Tell me your date of birth.
I can give you solutions.
Don't remember.
Do you have 100 bucks?
When you have nothing,
the planets can't harm you.
Go on.
Live life to the fullest!
Hail Lord Shiva!
Ma'am...
Show me your palm.
Do you have 100 bucks?
Where did he go?
Don't panic.
We were going to abandon him anyway.
Wait,
let's check the tent.
It's booked in your name.
What if he finds
his way to the tent?
Did you like my special tea?
Please pay up.
Manohar will pay you.
He's my brother.
He'll be here soon.
Sundar, is he carrying an ID?
He isn't.
Stop worrying.
You don't get it.
Abandoning a family member
is punishable by law.
If it's proven.
And you're scared?
Let's register a complaint.
We can show
we had filed a missing report.
Let's go.
Your brother hasn't showed up, bro.
Please pay up.
- Where's the missing persons centre?
- Don't know.
- Where's the lost and found centre?
- No idea.
Manohar.
Manohar!
Manohar!
Brother, found
the missing persons centre.
But he...
Hurry up!
Brother...
Did he see you or not?
I didn't look
when he called me.
And I didn't look to see
if he saw me not looking at him.
Got it?
Forget about it.
Let's file the report.
And get on the first bus out.
Let's go.
Come on.
Shut up!
How dare you call him a donkey?
You said horse...
- I was giving an example.
- Me too.
Please don't give me examples.
- Do some work.
- Sir.
- We want to file a complaint.
- He'll help.
Hello.
We want to file a complaint.
- Did you find someone?
- Not yet.
- Mr. Tiwari.
- Yes, sir.
Please take up the case.
Right away.
Let me see your hand.
What's this for?
I visited Bairagi Baba.
He said...
Our lucky time will start soon.
He's been dreaming about me
all the time.
Why is he dreaming about you?
Not me.
It's about us.
There are hints hidden in dreams.
I see.
He's seen a tall man with beard...
looking for a black cat
in the dark.
And when he looked in the light,
there was no black cat.
Then what was there?
Don't know.
But if you can find
a missing person
before the next full moon
then we'll become parents soon.
I don't get it.
Why was he looking for a cat
that wasn't there?
Maybe it wasn't a cat.
Maybe it was Lord Krishna
as a baby.
Or a baby girl.
- Do you want a baby?
- Yes, of course.
I'll find the missing person.
ORCHHA KUMBH MELA
Yeah, yeah...
I'll find everyone.
His name is Kalidhar.
He is very tall.
He has a beard too.
Give us his photo.
We'll send out the information.
We don't have his photo.
Must be there on your phone.
Actually, it's a new phone.
Sir, please give me
this Kalidhar case.
This horse wants a chance
to race.
Yadav, stop pretending
to be motivated.
Tiwari will handle it.
Take the next one.
You don't get it.
Bairagi Baba has said this bearded man
will make me a father.
It's all coming together.
What I mean is...
My wish will come true
once I find this man.
Please, sir.
Please...
Okay, Yadav.
I'll give you one last chance.
This is it.
One minute.
Talk to him.
Come with me.
Come.
Tell me something.
Is he on social media?
No, he doesn't even have a phone.
So, he's not on social media.
Then I'm sure we'll find him.
- What do you mean?
- I'll find him.
You'll find him?
Don't worry.
Go home.
Attention, Mr. Kalidhar from Sehore.
Wearing a brown shawl.
Wherever you are in the 11 zones
please report
to the missing persons centre.
Attention, Mr. Kalidhar.
Your family members
are looking for you.
Attention, Mr. Kalidhar.
I'm worried, Sundar.
I'm feeling bad too.
What we are...
This time we have sinned.
We'll atone next time.
Wait a minute.
Why do you say we've sinned?
- I was just kidding.
- No, no.
This is not a joke.
How will you treat
such an expensive illness?
Where will you get the money?
- That's enough.
- Anyway...
Who is he living for?
He'll live his last days here
and go straight to heaven.
That's it.
He'll live his last days here
and go straight to heaven.
Who is he living for?
Mange would have taken care of him.
How will you pay for his treatment?
Last call for passengers
leaving for Itarsi.
The bus will leave for Itarsi soon.
Bus is leaving for Itarsi.
Last call for passengers
leaving for Itarsi.
Wherever you are in the 11 zones
please report
to the missing persons centre.
Your family members
are looking for you.
Let's go.
Hello.
Yes, Gudiya.
What is it?
Our fortunes have burnt to ashes.
It's all over.
Why can't you ever talk straight?
Gudiya just called.
There was a short circuit at home.
Curtains caught fire.
What about--
No one was hurt.
The room with the property deed
is destroyed.
It's our cursed fate!
Oh God!
Now we have to look for Kalidhar
for real.
Have been telling them to fix
the wiring for so long.
No one cares.
Gudiya.
Just heard about the fire.
Why didn't you call me?
I was going to--
Is everyone okay?
Everyone is fine.
Actually, no one is home.
Where's Kalidhar?
Kalidhar had gone to Kumbh Mela
and...
He's missing.
In his condition?
I tried to stop them
but no one listened.
Sundar said...
they looked for him.
Couldn't find him.
I am very scared.
Wonder where he is.
Whether he is okay.
Where do you want to go?
Wake up and tell me
where you want to go.
Where do you want to go?
- Where will the bus go?
- The bus will go to Itarsi.
Then I'll go there too.
That'll be Rs. 380.
I have only 200 bucks.
You've already travelled
for 200 bucks.
Get off.
But I want to go all the way.
Who's stopping you?
Walk the rest of the way.
Get off the bus.
SHIVA TEMPLE
BHOJPUR
Two into one?
- Two.
- Two.
Two times two?
- Four.
- Four.
Three times two?
- Six.
- Six.
Two fours are...
- Eight.
- Eight.
- Two into five?
- Ten.
Very good.
Who can say the entire table?
Go ahead.
Two one is two.
Two twos are four.
Two threes are six.
Two fours are eight.
Two fives are ten.
Two sixes are?
If I answer all the questions,
how will the others learn?
Ask them too.
Ballu!
Twelve.
What do you want?
You're asking as if you are God.
Hey, Sleeping Beauty!
You're not dreaming.
Open your eyes.
Look at me.
What do you want?
I want my spot back.
Which you have taken
without my permission.
It's my spot now.
Oh really!
Go and sit on top of the temple.
Then the temple will be yours too.
If this is your spot...
It must have your name.
Huh?
What does it say?
BALLU
What's written?
It's Ballu.
Don't act too smart
with me.
Got it?
Now get lost.
Manohar.
Manohar.
Gudiya?
Asking you for the last time.
Give me my money back.
We lost all the property documents
in the electrical fire.
It's not our fault.
You see the thing is...
Once our elder brother, Kalidhar,
comes back
he'll fix everything.
He has agreed to sell
the land and house.
Whatever it is,
do it quickly.
Keep moving.
Your plate?
Gudiya?
Gudiya.
How dare you?
Do you even know me?
Want me to shout?
Kalidhar was not able to pay me back.
That's why he had written off
his house and land to me.
Now that he's not here...
Everything belongs to me.
Before we left for Kumbh Mela,
Kalidhar had put his thumb print
on the papers for us.
How come?
Did he know he'd go missing?
That's nonsense.
- Sundar, look--
- One minute.
- Check the papers.
- Show us.
Show us the papers.
The land is not going anywhere.
Bring Kalidhar back.
He will tell us the truth.
Okay, then.
First you took my spot.
Now you've taken over my job.
If I don't work hard,
I won't feel hungry.
Listen.
I'm not jobless like you.
I have lots to do.
What can I get you?
Curry, gravy, stew, potatoes, eggs?
Do you want your water cold?
Yes.
No.
That...
Vegetarian?
- There's dal, paneer...
- Three cups of tea.
What do you want?
Biryani.
Biryani?
Why didn't you say so?
I told you the entire menu.
That'll be 100 bucks.
Show me the biryani first.
Chhotu, show him the biryani.
Go ahead.
Then he can decide.
No time for all that.
Pay up and I'll get your food.
I don't have any money.
I can work for my food.
Can I wash the dishes?
Be careful, Chhotu.
You might lose your job.
Don't tell me I didn't warn you.
Please leave.
I am sorry.
Hello.
Did you find our brother?
No.
Did he return home?
Why'd I call you
if he was back?
Please find him quickly.
I'm working on it.
How is it going?
Have you become a dad yet?
What?
Did you find Kalidhar?
Don't even have a photo.
How can I find him...
If you had the photo,
you'd found him already. Right?
I was just sharing my problem.
I'll definitely find him.
Don't worry.
There she is.
Enjoy your lunch.
Doesn't do any work
but gets fed all the time.
Food is over.
You have to wait till tomorrow.
Brother.
Why have you come now?
I have my own house.
And yet...
you left me to wander the streets.
Why didn't you mention...
the mental illness before?
- Actually...
- We thought you won't be interested...
...in looking
for a mentally ill person.
- That's why.
- Exactly!
That's exactly what I wanted to say.
I don't think you want to find him.
How can you say that?
Just look at them.
Since Kalidhar went missing
these two brothers
have stopped eating.
- Indigestion.
- Indigestion.
No more tea for me.
He has indigestion.
Please find Kalidhar quickly.
Mental illness diagnosis.
No photos.
It'll be difficult.
But we have everything.
Sundar, send him the photos.
Oh yeah!
Give me your mobile number,
I'll send them right away.
You didn't have photos earlier.
I get it.
Property sale must be on hold.
That's why you really want to find him.
No, it's not that...
It's a mess.
I get it.
Sir.
Please fix it.
That's why we called you here.
And if there are any expenses you
need covered we can do that.
- Right?
- Yes.
Yes...
Oh, yes.
You didn't leave him behind
on purpose, right?
You didn't leave him there,
did you?
Hey! It's still dirty.
There's too much wind today.
You seem good at this.
Have you been sweeping
for a long time?
It's torn. Want it?
Nope.
Pandit ji.
Where do you get your supplies from?
The food isn't tasty.
It's not meant to be tasty.
This food is God's blessing.
You have to find joy in it.
You're right.
What can we do?
We have to check the quality
of the blessing.
Government order.
Sir, you should have said so.
Would have made special arrangement.
We don't make any compromises
on quality.
Try the dessert.
Made with pure ghee.
- Ballu! Get the dessert.
- No need.
Just make one of them
say it.
Right away.
I'll tell him.
I live here.
I've grown up eating this food.
The brand ambassador is right here.
Children have the purest souls.
Tell them, Ballu.
Everything?
Tell them everything.
Okay then.
Don't worry about the food at all.
Pandit ji takes care of everything.
All the supplies
we get from the market
Pandit ji takes it home.
You already know...
there's so much adulteration.
Twenty kilos of rice is delivered
to his house.
But only 12 kilos
come back to the temple.
He works so hard.
How can you doubt him?
For me Pandit ji is God.
Well done, kid.
Which class are you in?
Don't need to go to class.
I can teach most of them.
No one can teach me.
- Goodbye, Pandit ji.
- Goodbye.
We'll meet again
in front of the committee.
Give me one.
What?
As if you can give me
whatever I want.
Samosa.
Samosa?
Have you broken up with biryani?
It's not for me.
Why did you have to
run your mouth off?
Have given you food and shelter.
And you got me into trouble?
Trouble?
I called you God.
I told them the truth.
Shut up.
If it wasn't for my charity,
you would have been dead by now.
I took pity on you.
Took pity?
I don't want your pity.
Ballu.
Wait.
I don't want to stay here.
Let him go.
Great.
Where's Ballu?
Ballu has left the ashram.
Where did he go?
So much anger
in such a young kid.
So what?
Pandit ji thinks
he saved my life.
Or else I would have died.
What does he think of himself?
Who is he?
How can he decide for someone else?
Does he think he's God?
I must give it to you.
You're very brave.
Weren't you scared?
Scared?
Why should I be scared?
You know...
Where will you stay?
What will you eat?
I can stay anywhere.
I never worry about food.
Because some idiot or the other
always gets me food.
This idiot's name is Kalidhar.
You are just one guy.
Why do you have two names?
Kali eats a lot.
And Dhar plays a lot.
What's your name?
Will you give me the samosa
or not?
Here.
Here you go.
Throw it on your way out.
Do you like it?
Nope.
It's very old.
But I got it made fresh for you.
I'm talking about your name.
The samosa is amazing as usual.
Then you give me one.
You got only one samosa.
Now you want some.
I was talking about the name.
Suggest a name.
What kind of name do you want?
Like you.
It's Kalidhar, right?
From now on, your name is KD.
KD.
I am Mr. Ballu.
I am Mr. KD.
Shake on it.
KD.
It's good.
What are you going to do, KD?
When there's no money
in the pocket
we need to improvise, Ballu.
Have you seen him?
He went
with the Krishna Rasleela troupe.
No one can stop me from becoming
a dad now.
- Have you seen him?
- No.
- No, haven't seen him.
- No.
Sir, have you seen him?
Yes.
What? Then why didn't you tell me?
Because you didn't ask.
My mistake.
I'm asking you now.
Where did you see him?
He was with us on the bus
to Itarsi...
What happened?
Let me sleep.
I did so much for everyone.
Two younger brothers.
Younger sister.
I brought them up.
Gave them a good education.
Took care of everything.
One fine day,
they abandoned me.
Would have been better
if they killed me.
Someone who loves his family
so much...
How can that person
become a burden?
How would I know about all this?
I don't have any family.
When someone close leaves you...
You won't get it.
Right.
I won't get it.
I was four days old
when they left me on the temple stairs.
Tell me something.
Did your brothers and sister
ask you to do all this?
I did it...
because I loved them.
That's it then.
That's it.
You did whatever felt right.
Now what are you waiting for?
What do you mean?
I mean...
You keep waiting for everyone.
But what about the one
who's waiting for you?
Aren't you waiting for anyone?
That's why I sleep so well.
I thought it would be fun
to have a family.
But looking at you
I think I'm better off.
I am both the TV and the remote.
It's a good life.
Every relationship has an expiry date.
Learn to live for yourself.
Do whatever your heart tells you.
Like Amitabh Bachchan said
"The queue starts where I stand."
Like that.
You are a weirdo.
I'm telling you something important
and you dozed off.
What do I do with you?
Everything okay now?
What?
Something happened last night.
To you?
Why do you talk about me every time
I ask about you?
Never thought about myself.
So now think
and tell me what you like.
Don't know.
Are you a small child?
Don't know anything.
What's the point of growing up
if you don't know anything?
No point at all.
Okay, fine.
Let it be.
What do you want to do now?
Now means now.
Tell me now!
Let's finish the work first.
Why do you turn everything
into a chore?
Stop waiting around.
Live in the moment.
Do it now.
Let's go now.
Hey!
Why did you drop it?
So tell me.
What do you want to do?
I want to have biryani.
How much biryani do you want?
One.
Was a drifter till yesterday
A balloon out of air
You came and breathed life
It's all good when you're around
Or else it's a blunder
Life is worth living now
My wandering heart
keeps looking for you
My wandering heart
wants only you
You make my crazy heart fly
Weaving countless dreams with you
Out of sheer joy
One biryani for me.
I'll have biryani too.
Get me some biryani.
Chhotu, bring me some biryani too.
It's wonderful!
You make it look easy
You keep me busy
What's next?
Want to travel in AC train.
- Acting.
- Okay.
I want to ride a bike.
What else?
Suit.
With a smile and old songs
on our lips
There's a new adventure every moment
I want to live like this
Just go with the flow
I want to have some booze.
But foreign liquor.
Anything else you have in mind?
Do I have to come up
with everything today?
As long as there's space on the tree,
keep writing.
Can you read what I have written?
You've written it.
You should be able to read it.
Mister, you don't know how to read?
If you can't read
then you don't know
how to write either.
Don't worry.
I'll teach you.
It's wonderful!
Life is wonderful
Dark clouds gathered in my heart...
Dance at a wedding.
Okay fine.
You brought the
bright morning with you
Two eyes are filled with tears
I am surprised myself
Want to ride a bike...
Dance at a wedding...
And what else?
I want to make money for myself.
Next?
And Meera...
What?
So that's all, right?
Anything else?
My wandering heart
wants only you
You make my crazy heart fly
Weaving countless dreams with you
For the first time...
someone has done
so much for me.
Don't know about acting.
But you can write
dialogues for films for sure.
Let's go.
Chickpeas...
What are you going to do
with the flowers?
When you're short on cash
must find a plan to hash.
Let's go.
- Which one do you want?
- How much for this one?
Here.
Let's go.
How much is this for?
This one?
Twenty bucks.
What will we do with
all these flowers?
There's a temple right here.
So what?
There's a crematorium too.
Isn't that's great, KD?
Whether it's the temple
or a funeral...
People will need flowers.
Two garlands, please.
Here you go.
Absolutely fresh.
Have you seen him?
No.
- Have you seen this man?
- No.
Excuse me.
Have you seen him?
You're so desperate to find him
as if he's family.
He might not be family
but he'll fulfill my wish.
If I don't find him,
it's all over.
A huge crowd just passed through.
You might find him there.
Eat slowly, KD.
Every time you eat as if
it is your last meal.
Chhotu, two plates of biryani.
Hurry.
Look at KD.
Look at the way he eats.
What's your problem?
Others order biryani
when they see him eat.
Really?
Our sales have doubled.
So KD has doubled your sales?
One free biryani.
That's it.
That's not enough.
We can walk over...
to Biryani Corner nearby.
Two free biryanis.
Nothing more.
Okay, fine.
Two free biryanis.
And 100 bucks.
We don't need to pay anymore.
Let's go.
You dug your own grave.
You know, sir.
I can't pay for a passenger's ticket.
You're right.
I'm not blaming you.
Where did you drop him?
Bhojpur.
Near the temple.
- Sure?
- Yes, sure.
Hello.
Yes.
What?
Hello.
Yes?
Brother...
- What happened?
- They found him.
Ballu!
KD!
- Ballu!
- KD!
Ballu!
Ballu!
Ballu!
Ballu!
What's wrong?
Meera!
KD?
KD, what happened?
- Ballu!
- What's wrong KD?
Meera!
Tell me something.
Who is Meera?
Why?
Question is why aren't you telling me.
MISSING
NAME: KALIDHAR
You said that your family
abandoned you.
This says they're looking for you.
Why are they looking for me now?
Are you sure they left you?
Are you sure
they're looking for me?
I don't care.
But the entire world knows.
It's in the newspaper.
MISSING
NAME: KALIDHAR
No.
I will not go back home, Ballu.
Fine.
You don't have to go home.
Once you've left,
never go back.
We'll do something new.
But...
They're looking for me.
No one reads the newspapers
very carefully.
Just think.
Even the shopkeeper didn't know.
Only I noticed.
Others are not smart like me.
Tell me honestly.
Did your family really abandon you?
Or did you run away from home?
They had taken me to Kumbh Mela.
They wanted to leave me there.
But I ran away.
It says here that you are unwell.
You look fine to me.
I am not ill.
I am fit.
Go to sleep.
Told you we're looking for Kalidhar.
Lodged a complaint
with the police.
We've hired a guy too.
Posted an ad in the papers.
What else can we do?
The money is no use to us
if we're dead.
We'll pay you back.
- This is wrong--
- Brother...
Wait.
Take this for now.
One week.
I won't wait any longer.
Let's go.
Strange.
You stop me
from saying the same thing
again and again.
Then why are you making me write
the same thing?
You drive people mad
by saying the same thing.
But if you write the same thing
again and again
it makes your brain sharper.
Pack some flowers.
Concentrate on your studies.
Not on the money.
Why do you want to earn money?
Biryani is taken care of.
Doesn't matter.
I must earn money.
Why?
To drink expensive booze?
I have to.
Because I want to earn.
When you don't earn
your own money...
even your family
doesn't care about you.
How are you, Ballu?
Why aren't you coming for classes?
KD, tell him.
When I leave a place,
I never go back.
I'm busy.
Want some flowers?
At least, come to the playground.
There's going to be a huge fair.
We're rehearsing for a play.
I'll come if I'm not busy.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Don't you want to act?
Excuse me.
Seen him around?
Yes, in that diner.
He eats biryani twice every day.
- Eats biryani twice a day?
- Yes.
Everyone's rich except for me.
Chhotu, come here.
Have you seen him?
This is our KD.
Comes daily with Ballu
for biryani.
Will he come now?
Shall I wait?
He won't come today.
It's too late.
They follow their own time.
They don't have schedules.
Maybe they are having fun at the fair.
The fair?
Ravana is my elder brother.
His wish is my command.
I must fight.
I challenge you to fight with me.
Fight with me.
Bravo!
That was great!
Our next show is in Rajgarh.
Will you play Kumbhkaran again?
Excuse me, sir.
Wait a second.
Have you seen this man?
MISSING
KALIDHAR
Lives around here.
He used to live right here.
He left for Ujjain.
Yeah.
He left.
Thank you.
Please call
if you remember anything else.
Let's go.
Come on.
MISSING
NAME: KALIDHAR
They're looking for me.
If I stay here...
They'll take me back.
Then all our plans
will remain unfinished.
Why will they take you?
Don't go if you don't want to.
Right.
If I don't want to go...
Then I won't go.
But...
I want to act in the play.
Okay.
We'll go to Rajgarh.
Come on.
Hello.
You were hired
to find missing people.
Not be missing yourself.
Hold on.
I'll lose my job
because of you.
Who else will I call?
Why are you crying?
I am the problem.
I'll go to my mom's house.
Okay, I'm coming back.
I'll call you back.
Worst luck in the world!
Why is everyone after me?
Baby, job, family, you...
Fighting alone for everything.
Should I split into four?
I made a mistake.
Blew things out of proportion.
Forget about it.
If we are meant to have a baby,
it'll come to us.
Do what you want to do.
Forget about all the rubbish.
What do you want?
I just want to...
find Kalidhar some way or the other.
Not to get something in return
or prove anything.
Only to...
Gain some respect for myself.
That one.
That's mine
and that's yours.
MISSING
NAME: KALIDHAR
What if they find me here?
No one will come here.
What if they come?
And take me away?
Let's play a game.
We'll look out of the window.
Then we'll shut the window.
We'll list the things
we saw outside.
Whoever can name more things
gets the window.
Okay.
Okay?
Yes.
Two cycles.
Cycle's wheel.
Ladder.
Neem tree.
A cow, a bull and chickens.
Fragrance of the fields.
Dad's smell on his towel.
Heavy rainfall.
Lightning and storm.
A fair.
Balloons.
Bow and arrow.
Gudiya's swing.
And a pot hanging from the swing.
Inside the pot there is...
Biryani.
Okay.
You win.
Go to sleep.
We have rehearsals tomorrow.
Mamta.
The more I work on the Kalidhar case,
it gets more confusing.
What do you mean?
Won't you be able to find him?
No, no.
I'll find him.
But I can't trust Kalidhar's family.
I have a feeling...
Kalidhar doesn't want to return home.
What are you doing there?
Come. Take a dip.
Come on.
You'll feel better after the bath.
I am scared.
Of what?
Water.
Let's get rid of your fear today.
No.
Don't touch me.
Stop it, Ballu.
Let go.
I am scared.
Don't do it, Ballu.
Mother's ashes...
- Dad!
- Dad!
Where's Dad?
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Leave me alone!
Have you gone crazy?
Told you I'm scared of water.
What if something happens to me?
Who will take care of my family?
I'm not an orphan like you.
RAJGARH FAIR
I said all that
in a fit of rage.
Forgive me.
See what I got for you.
Samosa.
Here.
Tell me what you want.
I'll get it for you.
Want ice cream?
I said I'm sorry.
What else can I do?
Want me to fall at your feet?
See what's written on this.
It says Meera.
Meera Ice Cream.
She's always on your mind
and now she's everywhere.
Now write it down.
Want to meet Meera.
Write it.
I'm going into exile
with Sita and Laxman.
I'll come back after 14 years...
This way.
Ballu, watch the play.
We'll be right back.
Come.
Need to discuss something important.
Remember the government official
at the temple?
Doesn't matter.
He is sponsoring some kids
to study.
In Indore.
It's a very good school.
He wants Ballu to study there.
So...
I'll give you his number.
Don't lose it.
Ballu won't leave me.
How would he go?
Not without me.
I know he won't.
That's why I'm telling you.
It'd have been
his parent's responsibility.
You are his everything now.
Parents love their kids.
No father will send his child away.
I will not send Ballu away.
How can you give KD's role
to someone else?
Ballu, he was not doing a good job.
Didn't you notice that before?
Ballu, you talk too much.
Get lost.
- Leave.
- Let's go.
Bloody idiots!
Hurry. Come on.
I am very angry.
Let me hit him.
Let me go.
Let go.
It's their bad luck they let go
of a good actor like you.
Don't be so angry.
I'm not angry.
Then why the long face?
We have a lot
left on the list.
Let's get to work.
I know how to make you feel better.
Don't leave me.
I'm not leaving for good.
Just getting something to eat.
Hey, move aside.
Give me the foreign booze.
Get lost.
You'll get me into trouble.
Sir, let me give you a hand.
- No need.
- Please allow me.
Be careful.
- I'll take it.
- Here.
- What's your name?
- Ballu.
You don't have to pay me.
Get me a bottle.
Woah, kid!
Just out of your mom's lap
and you want to drink?
It's not for me.
It's for my granddad.
He was in love with someone.
But she ditched him.
He's heartbroken.
I need to get one for him.
Tell me something.
Where did you get the money
to buy all this?
I sold your kidney.
What?
Just enjoy your drink.
Who? What? Where?
Boring me with questions!
I am having fun.
I am feeling...
My head is spinning.
Don't expect the Taj Mahal
to suddenly appear.
KD.
KD.
Doctor, come with me.
- What happened?
- Come on.
Who gave him alcohol?
Does it look like I could?
No one will sell booze to a kid.
How does a kid know this?
Don't interrogate me.
Have you seen him like this before?
Did you notice anything strange?
Sometimes he forgets.
Sometimes he sees things
that aren't there.
Who is he to you?
Everything.
Sorry.
I got you the booze.
Things got messy.
You could have died.
If it weren't for you,
I would have died long back.
I was very scared.
I had a lot of fun.
No more fun for you.
No more.
I just wanted to drink once.
That's it.
Like you always say.
On to the next fun thing.
Then you must tell me.
Where does Meera live?
In my uncle's village.
On the banks of Narmada.
She got married there too.
I got to know that...
She lost her husband
a few years later.
Didn't you meet her after that?
Didn't have enough courage then.
Now I don't remember the way.
Remember your uncle?
Don't worry.
Where there's will,
there's a way.
Eat something.
Then take the pills.
I have a surprise for you.
Show us this one.
Anything else?
This one.
Or else it's a blunder
Life is worth living now
My wandering heart
keeps looking for you
My wandering heart
wants only you
You make my crazy heart fly
Weaving countless dreams with you
Out of sheer joy
Where does Meera live?
Is Meera ji home?
Yes. Please come in.
Sit.
Sister, someone is here.
My heart flies into your flame again
My heart travels again...
- My name is Ballu.
- I am Khushi.
Please forgive me, Meera.
For what?
I shouldn't have left you.
It hurts a lot
when someone you love leaves you.
I never wanted to leave you.
You did what you felt
was right at that time.
I was heartbroken
for a very long time.
I know you had obligations.
What can I cook for you?
Biryani.
I stopped eating biryani since then.
And he only eats biryani since then.
My heart flies into your flame again
My heart travels again with you
I'm very happy
that you enjoyed the biryani.
You cooked the biryani?
Best biryani I've ever had.
Here.
Packed some for you.
What about the box?
If you don't return it,
how will we meet again?
Ceaseless solace
in a never-ending journey of desires
- Hello.
- Hello.
Meera, I have to go.
Manohar is in trouble.
Out of wedlock...
Remember, Neetu?
She's pregnant.
But if you leave now...
I have to fix everything.
I wonder at my good fortune
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
Mom and Dad are not there.
I have responsibilities.
Have to do my duty.
My parents are still here.
They have responsibilities too.
Eat up.
Who knows when you'll get it again.
Biryani?
Yes, the biryani too.
I wonder at my good fortune
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
It's raining.
Kalidhar.
It's all wet.
Sometimes he forgets.
Sometimes he sees things
that aren't there.
I see you
and I see a thousand surprises
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
I wonder at my good fortune
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
I thank the stars
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
I thank the stars
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
How long will you keep running away
from them?
I'm not running away.
That's exactly what you're doing.
And you're dragging him along.
He's happy with me.
He likes staying with me.
Whatever happens in the future
we'll manage.
What'll happen to him
when you're not there?
Have you thought about
his entire life?
I'll miss him a lot
if he's gone.
If you keep him in your thoughts...
he'll remain in your heart forever.
If someone needs to go...
Even letting go
is an act of love.
Phone number.
What's happened?
It took me some time to accept
that you were gone.
Now I can't believe that you're back.
Feels like fate is playing
a bad joke.
Made me laugh.
Let's go.
Why the long face?
You look like Devdas, the lost lover.
Now you've found Meera ji.
You can visit her whenever you want.
Remember the government official
who had come to the temple?
He wants to take care of you.
Take care of me?
I don't need it.
He's ready to pay for your school.
Tell him
I don't need to go to school.
It's important
to get an education, Ballu.
You sent your siblings to school.
I know
how smart they've turned out.
Don't talk about my family like this.
Why are you getting angry?
They think you're a burden.
Why do you still care about them?
You'll be going to school.
End of discussion.
Not going anywhere.
Staying with you.
End of discussion.
What if I died that day
after drinking?
What'd you do?
Where'd you go?
Everyone dies.
What if I fell off the Ferris wheel
and died?
Please try to understand, Ballu.
You have to go.
It's for your own good.
That's why I don't like being friends
with grown-ups.
They try to become my parent.
In the end...
You're leaving me too.
Every relationship comes
with an expiry date, Ballu.
That's what you had said.
Slipping through the fingers
At the end of your breath
Tears well up again
Like dark clouds descending
Your heart bursts
Despair drenches you again
But don't tease the universe
Let go with a smile
Welcome tomorrow with open arms
Let it go
Let go
Let go with a smile
Welcome tomorrow with open arms
KD.
Please get tickets for the AC coach.
Every companion is temporary on
this journey
What you lost was never yours
Let it go
Let go
Ballu, let's go.
Take care.
Don't shut your heart up
Smile for the evening
This night too shall pass
And dawn will bring a new day
You are life's reason to live
An excuse to be happy
Let go with a smile
Welcome tomorrow with open arms
Let it go
Let go
Let go with a smile
Welcome tomorrow with open arms
Let it go
Let go
Let go with a smile
Welcome tomorrow with open arms
Let go with a smile
9. READ AND WRITE
You were in disguise
when we met last time.
My name is Subodh.
KD.
Your family has hired me
to find you.
But if you don't want to
you don't have to return.
I'll say
I couldn't find you.
THINGS TO DO
If you have any other wish...
I can come with you.
Well, you know...
I've done everything I wanted.
Take me back to the village.
Brother!
Brother...
Kalidhar is back.
You're back!
Welcome back.
Brother!
- Bring some water.
- Where were you?
After our parents died,
it's been the four of us.
Family is everything.
We've always taken care of you.
Right?
Come with me.
I had made up the story
about the property...
So that your worthless brothers
bring you back.
Look.
I've drawn up the deed
the way you wanted.
Rest is up to you.
Name?
Kalidhar.
Brother.
- Is it done?
- Wait.
Brother...
Come home with me.
I'll convince my in-laws.
Gudiya.
You're my pride.
My crown.
Don't ever stop fighting
for your respect and rights.
Don't let anyone scare you, kiddo.
Never.
Brother.
Remember I had called a photographer
during the house-warming?
After one photo...
you asked him to take
"your" family's photo.
You took your wife and son inside.
And left me outside.
That day I realised
I've built a house.
But I didn't have a family.
I have done
what you've been waiting for.
You have no use for me anymore.
No...
Brother, we'll stay with you.
When I needed you the most...
you weren't there.
What's the point now?
Everything's lost.
No house.
No photo.
No family.
No memories.
Something good
came out of this illness.
Goodbye.
Brother...
I have one last wish.
This is the end of my journey.
Thank you.
No.
I must thank you.
Kalidhar has...
divided his money
into four parts.
The first share will be used
to pay off your debts.
Second share will go
to your sister, Gudiya.
Third share will go to Ballu.
Excuse me, sir.
New student.
The last part...
Do you want to watch my play?
It's happening close by.
I wonder at my good fortune
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
I wonder at my good fortune
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
- Wait a second.
- Sorry.
Let's go inside.
- Move back.
- We're leaving.
- Sorry.
- Give us a minute.
- It's over, give us some space.
- Watch your step.
What were you doing, brother?
We have to go in.
Why do you keep going off like this?
Excuse us.
Watch your step.
Careful.
Doctor, please give us a solution.
There's no solution.
His condition is going to get worse.
He is forgetting things.
Soon, he'll start hallucinating.
He'll start seeing things
that aren't there.
We can't run after him all day.
Get a nurse for him.
- One second.
- But the nurse...
Keep this.
This will keep him calm.
It'll help you.
He'll live
his last few days comfortably.
Ask him how many days.
How long does he have?
Let's talk to brother again.
He might agree to sell the house
and land.
I see...
You've started daydreaming now.
Do you exist just to fight with me?
No, no. I got married and moved
to your house to clean your latrine.
- We've given him the medicine.
- Fine.
And the Rs. 20,000 loan for
his hospital fees
we have to take every time?
Do you have a plan to repay
the loan?
Why don't you share
your master plan?
Mange has a plan.
End it once and for all.
What are you doing here?
Just putting some phenyl balls down
to get rid of the roaches.
You've turned white with fear.
Hey!
It's not like we do this every day.
Forget it.
You can't pull it off.
There's an another way out.
Tell us.
Get rid of him at the Kumbh Mela.
Kumbh Mela?
But people go looking for
their lost ones there.
Then don't go looking.
Sometimes...
he even forgets his name
and address.
He won't be able to return home.
They have camps
to take care of lost people.
This is a good idea too.
What a great idea!
Why were you selling us
that expensive injection?
Property in the name of...
- What are you doing?
- Just checking.
Put it back.
I wanted to make sure...
Be calm.
Everything is going according to plan.
You keep coming back.
Hope your in-laws don't mind.
No.
Keep this.
I don't want to go into the water.
- But it's the holy river--
- No!
Okay, fine. You don't have to.
Wait here.
We'll go for the holy dip.
Should we get the return ticket?
Haste makes waste.
Since we've come this far,
let's go for a dip.
Let's go.
Hail Lord Shiva!
Show me your palm.
Where are you from, sir?
Sehore.
What's your name?
What's your name?
Your planets are not aligned.
Tell me your date of birth.
I can give you solutions.
Don't remember.
Do you have 100 bucks?
When you have nothing,
the planets can't harm you.
Go on.
Live life to the fullest!
Hail Lord Shiva!
Ma'am...
Show me your palm.
Do you have 100 bucks?
Where did he go?
Don't panic.
We were going to abandon him anyway.
Wait,
let's check the tent.
It's booked in your name.
What if he finds
his way to the tent?
Did you like my special tea?
Please pay up.
Manohar will pay you.
He's my brother.
He'll be here soon.
Sundar, is he carrying an ID?
He isn't.
Stop worrying.
You don't get it.
Abandoning a family member
is punishable by law.
If it's proven.
And you're scared?
Let's register a complaint.
We can show
we had filed a missing report.
Let's go.
Your brother hasn't showed up, bro.
Please pay up.
- Where's the missing persons centre?
- Don't know.
- Where's the lost and found centre?
- No idea.
Manohar.
Manohar!
Manohar!
Brother, found
the missing persons centre.
But he...
Hurry up!
Brother...
Did he see you or not?
I didn't look
when he called me.
And I didn't look to see
if he saw me not looking at him.
Got it?
Forget about it.
Let's file the report.
And get on the first bus out.
Let's go.
Come on.
Shut up!
How dare you call him a donkey?
You said horse...
- I was giving an example.
- Me too.
Please don't give me examples.
- Do some work.
- Sir.
- We want to file a complaint.
- He'll help.
Hello.
We want to file a complaint.
- Did you find someone?
- Not yet.
- Mr. Tiwari.
- Yes, sir.
Please take up the case.
Right away.
Let me see your hand.
What's this for?
I visited Bairagi Baba.
He said...
Our lucky time will start soon.
He's been dreaming about me
all the time.
Why is he dreaming about you?
Not me.
It's about us.
There are hints hidden in dreams.
I see.
He's seen a tall man with beard...
looking for a black cat
in the dark.
And when he looked in the light,
there was no black cat.
Then what was there?
Don't know.
But if you can find
a missing person
before the next full moon
then we'll become parents soon.
I don't get it.
Why was he looking for a cat
that wasn't there?
Maybe it wasn't a cat.
Maybe it was Lord Krishna
as a baby.
Or a baby girl.
- Do you want a baby?
- Yes, of course.
I'll find the missing person.
ORCHHA KUMBH MELA
Yeah, yeah...
I'll find everyone.
His name is Kalidhar.
He is very tall.
He has a beard too.
Give us his photo.
We'll send out the information.
We don't have his photo.
Must be there on your phone.
Actually, it's a new phone.
Sir, please give me
this Kalidhar case.
This horse wants a chance
to race.
Yadav, stop pretending
to be motivated.
Tiwari will handle it.
Take the next one.
You don't get it.
Bairagi Baba has said this bearded man
will make me a father.
It's all coming together.
What I mean is...
My wish will come true
once I find this man.
Please, sir.
Please...
Okay, Yadav.
I'll give you one last chance.
This is it.
One minute.
Talk to him.
Come with me.
Come.
Tell me something.
Is he on social media?
No, he doesn't even have a phone.
So, he's not on social media.
Then I'm sure we'll find him.
- What do you mean?
- I'll find him.
You'll find him?
Don't worry.
Go home.
Attention, Mr. Kalidhar from Sehore.
Wearing a brown shawl.
Wherever you are in the 11 zones
please report
to the missing persons centre.
Attention, Mr. Kalidhar.
Your family members
are looking for you.
Attention, Mr. Kalidhar.
I'm worried, Sundar.
I'm feeling bad too.
What we are...
This time we have sinned.
We'll atone next time.
Wait a minute.
Why do you say we've sinned?
- I was just kidding.
- No, no.
This is not a joke.
How will you treat
such an expensive illness?
Where will you get the money?
- That's enough.
- Anyway...
Who is he living for?
He'll live his last days here
and go straight to heaven.
That's it.
He'll live his last days here
and go straight to heaven.
Who is he living for?
Mange would have taken care of him.
How will you pay for his treatment?
Last call for passengers
leaving for Itarsi.
The bus will leave for Itarsi soon.
Bus is leaving for Itarsi.
Last call for passengers
leaving for Itarsi.
Wherever you are in the 11 zones
please report
to the missing persons centre.
Your family members
are looking for you.
Let's go.
Hello.
Yes, Gudiya.
What is it?
Our fortunes have burnt to ashes.
It's all over.
Why can't you ever talk straight?
Gudiya just called.
There was a short circuit at home.
Curtains caught fire.
What about--
No one was hurt.
The room with the property deed
is destroyed.
It's our cursed fate!
Oh God!
Now we have to look for Kalidhar
for real.
Have been telling them to fix
the wiring for so long.
No one cares.
Gudiya.
Just heard about the fire.
Why didn't you call me?
I was going to--
Is everyone okay?
Everyone is fine.
Actually, no one is home.
Where's Kalidhar?
Kalidhar had gone to Kumbh Mela
and...
He's missing.
In his condition?
I tried to stop them
but no one listened.
Sundar said...
they looked for him.
Couldn't find him.
I am very scared.
Wonder where he is.
Whether he is okay.
Where do you want to go?
Wake up and tell me
where you want to go.
Where do you want to go?
- Where will the bus go?
- The bus will go to Itarsi.
Then I'll go there too.
That'll be Rs. 380.
I have only 200 bucks.
You've already travelled
for 200 bucks.
Get off.
But I want to go all the way.
Who's stopping you?
Walk the rest of the way.
Get off the bus.

You're asking as if you are God.
Hey, Sleeping Beauty!
You're not dreaming.
Open your eyes.
Look at me.
What do you want?
I want my spot back.
Which you have taken
without my permission.
It's my spot now.
Oh really!
Go and sit on top of the temple.
Then the temple will be yours too.
If this is your spot...
It must have your name.
Huh?
What does it say?

It's not our fault.
You see the thing is...
Once our elder brother, Kalidhar,
comes back
he'll fix everything.
He has agreed to sell
the land and house.
Whatever it is,
do it quickly.
Keep moving.
Your plate?
Gudiya?
Gudiya.
How dare you?
Do you even know me?
Want me to shout?
Kalidhar was not able to pay me back.
That's why he had written off
his house and land to me.
Now that he's not here...
Everything belongs to me.
Before we left for Kumbh Mela,
Kalidhar had put his thumb print
on the papers for us.
How come?
Did he know he'd go missing?
That's nonsense.
- Sundar, look--
- One minute.
- Check the papers.
- Show us.
Show us the papers.
The land is not going anywhere.
Bring Kalidhar back.
He will tell us the truth.
Okay, then.
First you took my spot.
Now you've taken over my job.
If I don't work hard,
I won't feel hungry.
Listen.
I'm not jobless like you.
I have lots to do.
What can I get you?
Curry, gravy, stew, potatoes, eggs?
Do you want your water cold?
Yes.
No.
That...
Vegetarian?
- There's dal, paneer...
- Three cups of tea.
What do you want?
Biryani.
Biryani?
Why didn't you say so?
I told you the entire menu.
That'll be 100 bucks.
Show me the biryani first.
Chhotu, show him the biryani.
Go ahead.
Then he can decide.
No time for all that.
Pay up and I'll get your food.
I don't have any money.
I can work for my food.
Can I wash the dishes?
Be careful, Chhotu.
You might lose your job.
Don't tell me I didn't warn you.
Please leave.
I am sorry.
Hello.
Did you find our brother?
No.
Did he return home?
Why'd I call you
if he was back?
Please find him quickly.
I'm working on it.
How is it going?
Have you become a dad yet?
What?
Did you find Kalidhar?
Don't even have a photo.
How can I find him...
If you had the photo,
you'd found him already. Right?
I was just sharing my problem.
I'll definitely find him.
Don't worry.
There she is.
Enjoy your lunch.
Doesn't do any work
but gets fed all the time.
Food is over.
You have to wait till tomorrow.
Brother.
Why have you come now?
I have my own house.
And yet...
you left me to wander the streets.
Why didn't you mention...
the mental illness before?
- Actually...
- We thought you won't be interested...
...in looking
for a mentally ill person.
- That's why.
- Exactly!
That's exactly what I wanted to say.
I don't think you want to find him.
How can you say that?
Just look at them.
Since Kalidhar went missing
these two brothers
have stopped eating.
- Indigestion.
- Indigestion.
No more tea for me.
He has indigestion.
Please find Kalidhar quickly.
Mental illness diagnosis.
No photos.
It'll be difficult.
But we have everything.
Sundar, send him the photos.
Oh yeah!
Give me your mobile number,
I'll send them right away.
You didn't have photos earlier.
I get it.
Property sale must be on hold.
That's why you really want to find him.
No, it's not that...
It's a mess.
I get it.
Sir.
Please fix it.
That's why we called you here.
And if there are any expenses you
need covered we can do that.
- Right?
- Yes.
Yes...
Oh, yes.
You didn't leave him behind
on purpose, right?
You didn't leave him there,
did you?
Hey! It's still dirty.
There's too much wind today.
You seem good at this.
Have you been sweeping
for a long time?
It's torn. Want it?
Nope.
Pandit ji.
Where do you get your supplies from?
The food isn't tasty.
It's not meant to be tasty.
This food is God's blessing.
You have to find joy in it.
You're right.
What can we do?
We have to check the quality
of the blessing.
Government order.
Sir, you should have said so.
Would have made special arrangement.
We don't make any compromises
on quality.
Try the dessert.
Made with pure ghee.
- Ballu! Get the dessert.
- No need.
Just make one of them
say it.
Right away.
I'll tell him.
I live here.
I've grown up eating this food.
The brand ambassador is right here.
Children have the purest souls.
Tell them, Ballu.
Everything?
Tell them everything.
Okay then.
Don't worry about the food at all.
Pandit ji takes care of everything.
All the supplies
we get from the market
Pandit ji takes it home.
You already know...
there's so much adulteration.
Twenty kilos of rice is delivered
to his house.
But only 12 kilos
come back to the temple.
He works so hard.
How can you doubt him?
For me Pandit ji is God.
Well done, kid.
Which class are you in?
Don't need to go to class.
I can teach most of them.
No one can teach me.
- Goodbye, Pandit ji.
- Goodbye.
We'll meet again
in front of the committee.
Give me one.
What?
As if you can give me
whatever I want.
Samosa.
Samosa?
Have you broken up with biryani?
It's not for me.
Why did you have to
run your mouth off?
Have given you food and shelter.
And you got me into trouble?
Trouble?
I called you God.
I told them the truth.
Shut up.
If it wasn't for my charity,
you would have been dead by now.
I took pity on you.
Took pity?
I don't want your pity.
Ballu.
Wait.
I don't want to stay here.
Let him go.
Great.
Where's Ballu?
Ballu has left the ashram.
Where did he go?
So much anger
in such a young kid.
So what?
Pandit ji thinks
he saved my life.
Or else I would have died.
What does he think of himself?
Who is he?
How can he decide for someone else?
Does he think he's God?
I must give it to you.
You're very brave.
Weren't you scared?
Scared?
Why should I be scared?
You know...
Where will you stay?
What will you eat?
I can stay anywhere.
I never worry about food.
Because some idiot or the other
always gets me food.
This idiot's name is Kalidhar.
You are just one guy.
Why do you have two names?
Kali eats a lot.
And Dhar plays a lot.
What's your name?
Will you give me the samosa
or not?
Here.
Here you go.
Throw it on your way out.
Do you like it?
Nope.
It's very old.
But I got it made fresh for you.
I'm talking about your name.
The samosa is amazing as usual.
Then you give me one.
You got only one samosa.
Now you want some.
I was talking about the name.
Suggest a name.
What kind of name do you want?
Like you.
It's Kalidhar, right?
From now on, your name is KD.
KD.
I am Mr. Ballu.
I am Mr. KD.
Shake on it.
KD.
It's good.
What are you going to do, KD?
When there's no money
in the pocket
we need to improvise, Ballu.
Have you seen him?
He went
with the Krishna Rasleela troupe.
No one can stop me from becoming
a dad now.
- Have you seen him?
- No.
- No, haven't seen him.
- No.
Sir, have you seen him?
Yes.
What? Then why didn't you tell me?
Because you didn't ask.
My mistake.
I'm asking you now.
Where did you see him?
He was with us on the bus
to Itarsi...
What happened?
Let me sleep.
I did so much for everyone.
Two younger brothers.
Younger sister.
I brought them up.
Gave them a good education.
Took care of everything.
One fine day,
they abandoned me.
Would have been better
if they killed me.
Someone who loves his family
so much...
How can that person
become a burden?
How would I know about all this?
I don't have any family.
When someone close leaves you...
You won't get it.
Right.
I won't get it.
I was four days old
when they left me on the temple stairs.
Tell me something.
Did your brothers and sister
ask you to do all this?
I did it...
because I loved them.
That's it then.
That's it.
You did whatever felt right.
Now what are you waiting for?
What do you mean?
I mean...
You keep waiting for everyone.
But what about the one
who's waiting for you?
Aren't you waiting for anyone?
That's why I sleep so well.
I thought it would be fun
to have a family.
But looking at you
I think I'm better off.
I am both the TV and the remote.
It's a good life.
Every relationship has an expiry date.
Learn to live for yourself.
Do whatever your heart tells you.
Like Amitabh Bachchan said
"The queue starts where I stand."
Like that.
You are a weirdo.
I'm telling you something important
and you dozed off.
What do I do with you?
Everything okay now?
What?
Something happened last night.
To you?
Why do you talk about me every time
I ask about you?
Never thought about myself.
So now think
and tell me what you like.
Don't know.
Are you a small child?
Don't know anything.
What's the point of growing up
if you don't know anything?
No point at all.
Okay, fine.
Let it be.
What do you want to do now?
Now means now.
Tell me now!
Let's finish the work first.
Why do you turn everything
into a chore?
Stop waiting around.
Live in the moment.
Do it now.
Let's go now.
Hey!
Why did you drop it?
So tell me.
What do you want to do?
I want to have biryani.
How much biryani do you want?
One.
Was a drifter till yesterday
A balloon out of air
You came and breathed life
It's all good when you're around
Or else it's a blunder
Life is worth living now
My wandering heart
keeps looking for you
My wandering heart
wants only you
You make my crazy heart fly
Weaving countless dreams with you
Out of sheer joy
One biryani for me.
I'll have biryani too.
Get me some biryani.
Chhotu, bring me some biryani too.
It's wonderful!
You make it look easy
You keep me busy
What's next?
Want to travel in AC train.
- Acting.
- Okay.
I want to ride a bike.
What else?
Suit.
With a smile and old songs
on our lips
There's a new adventure every moment
I want to live like this
Just go with the flow
I want to have some booze.
But foreign liquor.
Anything else you have in mind?
Do I have to come up
with everything today?
As long as there's space on the tree,
keep writing.
Can you read what I have written?
You've written it.
You should be able to read it.
Mister, you don't know how to read?
If you can't read
then you don't know
how to write either.
Don't worry.
I'll teach you.
It's wonderful!
Life is wonderful
Dark clouds gathered in my heart...
Dance at a wedding.
Okay fine.
You brought the
bright morning with you
Two eyes are filled with tears
I am surprised myself
Want to ride a bike...
Dance at a wedding...
And what else?
I want to make money for myself.
Next?
And Meera...
What?
So that's all, right?
Anything else?
My wandering heart
wants only you
You make my crazy heart fly
Weaving countless dreams with you
For the first time...
someone has done
so much for me.
Don't know about acting.
But you can write
dialogues for films for sure.
Let's go.
Chickpeas...
What are you going to do
with the flowers?
When you're short on cash
must find a plan to hash.
Let's go.
- Which one do you want?
- How much for this one?
Here.
Let's go.
How much is this for?
This one?
Twenty bucks.
What will we do with
all these flowers?
There's a temple right here.
So what?
There's a crematorium too.
Isn't that's great, KD?
Whether it's the temple
or a funeral...
People will need flowers.
Two garlands, please.
Here you go.
Absolutely fresh.
Have you seen him?
No.
- Have you seen this man?
- No.
Excuse me.
Have you seen him?
You're so desperate to find him
as if he's family.
He might not be family
but he'll fulfill my wish.
If I don't find him,
it's all over.
A huge crowd just passed through.
You might find him there.
Eat slowly, KD.
Every time you eat as if
it is your last meal.
Chhotu, two plates of biryani.
Hurry.
Look at KD.
Look at the way he eats.
What's your problem?
Others order biryani
when they see him eat.
Really?
Our sales have doubled.
So KD has doubled your sales?
One free biryani.
That's it.
That's not enough.
We can walk over...
to Biryani Corner nearby.
Two free biryanis.
Nothing more.
Okay, fine.
Two free biryanis.
And 100 bucks.
We don't need to pay anymore.
Let's go.
You dug your own grave.
You know, sir.
I can't pay for a passenger's ticket.
You're right.
I'm not blaming you.
Where did you drop him?
Bhojpur.
Near the temple.
- Sure?
- Yes, sure.
Hello.
Yes.
What?
Hello.
Yes?
Brother...
- What happened?
- They found him.
Ballu!
KD!
- Ballu!
- KD!
Ballu!
Ballu!
Ballu!
Ballu!
What's wrong?
Meera!
KD?
KD, what happened?
- Ballu!
- What's wrong KD?
Meera!
Tell me something.
Who is Meera?
Why?
Question is why aren't you telling me.
MISSING
NAME: KALIDHAR
You said that your family
abandoned you.
This says they're looking for you.
Why are they looking for me now?
Are you sure they left you?
Are you sure
they're looking for me?
I don't care.
But the entire world knows.
It's in the newspaper.
MISSING
NAME: KALIDHAR
No.
I will not go back home, Ballu.
Fine.
You don't have to go home.
Once you've left,
never go back.
We'll do something new.
But...
They're looking for me.
No one reads the newspapers
very carefully.
Just think.
Even the shopkeeper didn't know.
Only I noticed.
Others are not smart like me.
Tell me honestly.
Did your family really abandon you?
Or did you run away from home?
They had taken me to Kumbh Mela.
They wanted to leave me there.
But I ran away.
It says here that you are unwell.
You look fine to me.
I am not ill.
I am fit.
Go to sleep.
Told you we're looking for Kalidhar.
Lodged a complaint
with the police.
We've hired a guy too.
Posted an ad in the papers.
What else can we do?
The money is no use to us
if we're dead.
We'll pay you back.
- This is wrong--
- Brother...
Wait.
Take this for now.
One week.
I won't wait any longer.
Let's go.
Strange.
You stop me
from saying the same thing
again and again.
Then why are you making me write
the same thing?
You drive people mad
by saying the same thing.
But if you write the same thing
again and again
it makes your brain sharper.
Pack some flowers.
Concentrate on your studies.
Not on the money.
Why do you want to earn money?
Biryani is taken care of.
Doesn't matter.
I must earn money.
Why?
To drink expensive booze?
I have to.
Because I want to earn.
When you don't earn
your own money...
even your family
doesn't care about you.
How are you, Ballu?
Why aren't you coming for classes?
KD, tell him.
When I leave a place,
I never go back.
I'm busy.
Want some flowers?
At least, come to the playground.
There's going to be a huge fair.
We're rehearsing for a play.
I'll come if I'm not busy.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Don't you want to act?
Excuse me.
Seen him around?
Yes, in that diner.
He eats biryani twice every day.
- Eats biryani twice a day?
- Yes.
Everyone's rich except for me.
Chhotu, come here.
Have you seen him?
This is our KD.
Comes daily with Ballu
for biryani.
Will he come now?
Shall I wait?
He won't come today.
It's too late.
They follow their own time.
They don't have schedules.
Maybe they are having fun at the fair.
The fair?
Ravana is my elder brother.
His wish is my command.
I must fight.
I challenge you to fight with me.
Fight with me.
Bravo!
That was great!
Our next show is in Rajgarh.
Will you play Kumbhkaran again?
Excuse me, sir.
Wait a second.
Have you seen this man?
MISSING
KALIDHAR
Lives around here.
He used to live right here.
He left for Ujjain.
Yeah.
He left.
Thank you.
Please call
if you remember anything else.
Let's go.
Come on.
MISSING
NAME: KALIDHAR
They're looking for me.
If I stay here...
They'll take me back.
Then all our plans
will remain unfinished.
Why will they take you?
Don't go if you don't want to.
Right.
If I don't want to go...
Then I won't go.
But...
I want to act in the play.
Okay.
We'll go to Rajgarh.
Come on.
Hello.
You were hired
to find missing people.
Not be missing yourself.
Hold on.
I'll lose my job
because of you.
Who else will I call?
Why are you crying?
I am the problem.
I'll go to my mom's house.
Okay, I'm coming back.
I'll call you back.
Worst luck in the world!
Why is everyone after me?
Baby, job, family, you...
Fighting alone for everything.
Should I split into four?
I made a mistake.
Blew things out of proportion.
Forget about it.
If we are meant to have a baby,
it'll come to us.
Do what you want to do.
Forget about all the rubbish.
What do you want?
I just want to...
find Kalidhar some way or the other.
Not to get something in return
or prove anything.
Only to...
Gain some respect for myself.
That one.
That's mine
and that's yours.
MISSING
NAME: KALIDHAR
What if they find me here?
No one will come here.
What if they come?
And take me away?
Let's play a game.
We'll look out of the window.
Then we'll shut the window.
We'll list the things
we saw outside.
Whoever can name more things
gets the window.
Okay.
Okay?
Yes.
Two cycles.
Cycle's wheel.
Ladder.
Neem tree.
A cow, a bull and chickens.
Fragrance of the fields.
Dad's smell on his towel.
Heavy rainfall.
Lightning and storm.
A fair.
Balloons.
Bow and arrow.
Gudiya's swing.
And a pot hanging from the swing.
Inside the pot there is...
Biryani.
Okay.
You win.
Go to sleep.
We have rehearsals tomorrow.
Mamta.
The more I work on the Kalidhar case,
it gets more confusing.
What do you mean?
Won't you be able to find him?
No, no.
I'll find him.
But I can't trust Kalidhar's family.
I have a feeling...
Kalidhar doesn't want to return home.
What are you doing there?
Come. Take a dip.
Come on.
You'll feel better after the bath.
I am scared.
Of what?
Water.
Let's get rid of your fear today.
No.
Don't touch me.
Stop it, Ballu.
Let go.
I am scared.
Don't do it, Ballu.
Mother's ashes...
- Dad!
- Dad!
Where's Dad?
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Leave me alone!
Have you gone crazy?
Told you I'm scared of water.
What if something happens to me?
Who will take care of my family?
I'm not an orphan like you.
RAJGARH FAIR
I said all that
in a fit of rage.
Forgive me.
See what I got for you.
Samosa.
Here.
Tell me what you want.
I'll get it for you.
Want ice cream?
I said I'm sorry.
What else can I do?
Want me to fall at your feet?
See what's written on this.
It says Meera.
Meera Ice Cream.
She's always on your mind
and now she's everywhere.
Now write it down.
Want to meet Meera.
Write it.
I'm going into exile
with Sita and Laxman.
I'll come back after 14 years...
This way.
Ballu, watch the play.
We'll be right back.
Come.
Need to discuss something important.
Remember the government official
at the temple?
Doesn't matter.
He is sponsoring some kids
to study.
In Indore.
It's a very good school.
He wants Ballu to study there.
So...
I'll give you his number.
Don't lose it.
Ballu won't leave me.
How would he go?
Not without me.
I know he won't.
That's why I'm telling you.
It'd have been
his parent's responsibility.
You are his everything now.
Parents love their kids.
No father will send his child away.
I will not send Ballu away.
How can you give KD's role
to someone else?
Ballu, he was not doing a good job.
Didn't you notice that before?
Ballu, you talk too much.
Get lost.
- Leave.
- Let's go.
Bloody idiots!
Hurry. Come on.
I am very angry.
Let me hit him.
Let me go.
Let go.
It's their bad luck they let go
of a good actor like you.
Don't be so angry.
I'm not angry.
Then why the long face?
We have a lot
left on the list.
Let's get to work.
I know how to make you feel better.
Don't leave me.
I'm not leaving for good.
Just getting something to eat.
Hey, move aside.
Give me the foreign booze.
Get lost.
You'll get me into trouble.
Sir, let me give you a hand.
- No need.
- Please allow me.
Be careful.
- I'll take it.
- Here.
- What's your name?
- Ballu.
You don't have to pay me.
Get me a bottle.
Woah, kid!
Just out of your mom's lap
and you want to drink?
It's not for me.
It's for my granddad.
He was in love with someone.
But she ditched him.
He's heartbroken.
I need to get one for him.
Tell me something.
Where did you get the money
to buy all this?
I sold your kidney.
What?
Just enjoy your drink.
Who? What? Where?
Boring me with questions!
I am having fun.
I am feeling...
My head is spinning.
Don't expect the Taj Mahal
to suddenly appear.
KD.
KD.
Doctor, come with me.
- What happened?
- Come on.
Who gave him alcohol?
Does it look like I could?
No one will sell booze to a kid.
How does a kid know this?
Don't interrogate me.
Have you seen him like this before?
Did you notice anything strange?
Sometimes he forgets.
Sometimes he sees things
that aren't there.
Who is he to you?
Everything.
Sorry.
I got you the booze.
Things got messy.
You could have died.
If it weren't for you,
I would have died long back.
I was very scared.
I had a lot of fun.
No more fun for you.
No more.
I just wanted to drink once.
That's it.
Like you always say.
On to the next fun thing.
Then you must tell me.
Where does Meera live?
In my uncle's village.
On the banks of Narmada.
She got married there too.
I got to know that...
She lost her husband
a few years later.
Didn't you meet her after that?
Didn't have enough courage then.
Now I don't remember the way.
Remember your uncle?
Don't worry.
Where there's will,
there's a way.
Eat something.
Then take the pills.
I have a surprise for you.
Show us this one.
Anything else?
This one.
Or else it's a blunder
Life is worth living now
My wandering heart
keeps looking for you
My wandering heart
wants only you
You make my crazy heart fly
Weaving countless dreams with you
Out of sheer joy
Where does Meera live?
Is Meera ji home?
Yes. Please come in.
Sit.
Sister, someone is here.
My heart flies into your flame again
My heart travels again...
- My name is Ballu.
- I am Khushi.
Please forgive me, Meera.
For what?
I shouldn't have left you.
It hurts a lot
when someone you love leaves you.
I never wanted to leave you.
You did what you felt
was right at that time.
I was heartbroken
for a very long time.
I know you had obligations.
What can I cook for you?
Biryani.
I stopped eating biryani since then.
And he only eats biryani since then.
My heart flies into your flame again
My heart travels again with you
I'm very happy
that you enjoyed the biryani.
You cooked the biryani?
Best biryani I've ever had.
Here.
Packed some for you.
What about the box?
If you don't return it,
how will we meet again?
Ceaseless solace
in a never-ending journey of desires
- Hello.
- Hello.
Meera, I have to go.
Manohar is in trouble.
Out of wedlock...
Remember, Neetu?
She's pregnant.
But if you leave now...
I have to fix everything.
I wonder at my good fortune
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
Mom and Dad are not there.
I have responsibilities.
Have to do my duty.
My parents are still here.
They have responsibilities too.
Eat up.
Who knows when you'll get it again.
Biryani?
Yes, the biryani too.
I wonder at my good fortune
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
It's raining.
Kalidhar.
It's all wet.
Sometimes he forgets.
Sometimes he sees things
that aren't there.
I see you
and I see a thousand surprises
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
I wonder at my good fortune
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
I thank the stars
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
I thank the stars
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
How long will you keep running away
from them?
I'm not running away.
That's exactly what you're doing.
And you're dragging him along.
He's happy with me.
He likes staying with me.
Whatever happens in the future
we'll manage.
What'll happen to him
when you're not there?
Have you thought about
his entire life?
I'll miss him a lot
if he's gone.
If you keep him in your thoughts...
he'll remain in your heart forever.
If someone needs to go...
Even letting go
is an act of love.
Phone number.
What's happened?
It took me some time to accept
that you were gone.
Now I can't believe that you're back.
Feels like fate is playing
a bad joke.
Made me laugh.
Let's go.
Why the long face?
You look like Devdas, the lost lover.
Now you've found Meera ji.
You can visit her whenever you want.
Remember the government official
who had come to the temple?
He wants to take care of you.
Take care of me?
I don't need it.
He's ready to pay for your school.
Tell him
I don't need to go to school.
It's important
to get an education, Ballu.
You sent your siblings to school.
I know
how smart they've turned out.
Don't talk about my family like this.
Why are you getting angry?
They think you're a burden.
Why do you still care about them?
You'll be going to school.
End of discussion.
Not going anywhere.
Staying with you.
End of discussion.
What if I died that day
after drinking?
What'd you do?
Where'd you go?
Everyone dies.
What if I fell off the Ferris wheel
and died?
Please try to understand, Ballu.
You have to go.
It's for your own good.
That's why I don't like being friends
with grown-ups.
They try to become my parent.
In the end...
You're leaving me too.
Every relationship comes
with an expiry date, Ballu.
That's what you had said.
Slipping through the fingers
At the end of your breath
Tears well up again
Like dark clouds descending
Your heart bursts
Despair drenches you again
But don't tease the universe
Let go with a smile
Welcome tomorrow with open arms
Let it go
Let go
Let go with a smile
Welcome tomorrow with open arms
KD.
Please get tickets for the AC coach.
Every companion is temporary on
this journey
What you lost was never yours
Let it go
Let go
Ballu, let's go.
Take care.
Don't shut your heart up
Smile for the evening
This night too shall pass
And dawn will bring a new day
You are life's reason to live
An excuse to be happy
Let go with a smile
Welcome tomorrow with open arms
Let it go
Let go
Let go with a smile
Welcome tomorrow with open arms
Let it go
Let go
Let go with a smile
Welcome tomorrow with open arms
Let go with a smile
9. READ AND WRITE
You were in disguise
when we met last time.
My name is Subodh.
KD.
Your family has hired me
to find you.
But if you don't want to
you don't have to return.
I'll say
I couldn't find you.
THINGS TO DO
If you have any other wish...
I can come with you.
Well, you know...
I've done everything I wanted.
Take me back to the village.
Brother!
Brother...
Kalidhar is back.
You're back!
Welcome back.
Brother!
- Bring some water.
- Where were you?
After our parents died,
it's been the four of us.
Family is everything.
We've always taken care of you.
Right?
Come with me.
I had made up the story
about the property...
So that your worthless brothers
bring you back.
Look.
I've drawn up the deed
the way you wanted.
Rest is up to you.
Name?
Kalidhar.
Brother.
- Is it done?
- Wait.
Brother...
Come home with me.
I'll convince my in-laws.
Gudiya.
You're my pride.
My crown.
Don't ever stop fighting
for your respect and rights.
Don't let anyone scare you, kiddo.
Never.
Brother.
Remember I had called a photographer
during the house-warming?
After one photo...
you asked him to take
"your" family's photo.
You took your wife and son inside.
And left me outside.
That day I realised
I've built a house.
But I didn't have a family.
I have done
what you've been waiting for.
You have no use for me anymore.
No...
Brother, we'll stay with you.
When I needed you the most...
you weren't there.
What's the point now?
Everything's lost.
No house.
No photo.
No family.
No memories.
Something good
came out of this illness.
Goodbye.
Brother...
I have one last wish.
This is the end of my journey.
Thank you.
No.
I must thank you.
Kalidhar has...
divided his money
into four parts.
The first share will be used
to pay off your debts.
Second share will go
to your sister, Gudiya.
Third share will go to Ballu.
Excuse me, sir.
New student.
The last part...
Do you want to watch my play?
It's happening close by.
I wonder at my good fortune
That my old love has brought back
a beautiful heartache
