Abdullahpur Ka Devdas (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

Who knows maybe you’ll
find someone in Abdullahpur
and he’ll set your soul
free from these cages.
That drizzling of rain
was breathtaking..
That droplet yearning on
your lip was breathtaking..
That strand calmly resting on your
cheek was the epitome of beauty..
That strand tangled and rolled in
curves of your finger was breathtaking..
Silently shrouded in the fear
of that loud gush of wind,
That soft swaying of your body
composing itself was breathtaking.
With every ounce of you drenched
Oh how my time is but laced
with destitute and despondency
Pity how you choose to
judge in me my testing times.
This ring has a legacy
in our family
The girl who wears it
…invariably becomes the bride
of this palace!
This means that you too desire to
control me like uncle Salaabat.
Salaabat and I are poles apart.
To him you’re a mere means of controlling
his deceased brother’s property..
Which you are an heir of!
While, I only long to see my sister’s
daughter as my son’s life partner.
So I am supposed to choose between
Sheroze and Bedaar then!
If there’s someone else..
Don’t even dare think
about someone else!!
It was more than just an arrangement
between your mother and I!
It was but a promise..
that you will become only MY daughter-in-law!
If there happens to be someone
else in the picture
Let him know he would have to face
the anguish of this palace to win you over!
He who bares the fearlessness
.of facing death shall be the only
one who could conquer you.
There happens to be no one else.
But in case someone comes along,
I shall let you know.
My name is Sophia Khan
and I want to…
Please take your seat.
All of you are gathered in this room
to learn the Urdu language.
Therefore, be cognizant of the rule that
no one shall utter
a word of English in my class
Sophia Ali..
If reluctance or embarrassment towards
the Urdu language has clouded your mind
then you may opt for English instead..
And consult Professor Asghar Bhutta
for switching courses.
You?
My name is Qandeel
I majored in Urdu in undergrad..
I am a topper..
Moreover, I was also the editor
of my college magazine.
And now I aspire to pursue
a career in Urdu fiction writing
Major, topper and editor
Do you even know the Urdu alternative
words to these three English words?
Please sit down.
You?
Greetings sir
My name is Kashif and
I am passionate about poetry.
(Imitating him) My name is Kashif
and I am passionate about poetry.
Does your Urdu vocabulary go beyond
this frivolous choice of words?
If yes, then recite some poetry
(Kashif clears throat)
If I may?
Proceed proceed!
Don’t let those tears roll down
For he shall love again
If I may
Don’t let those tears roll down
For he shall love again
Save some words of love and stories
For he shall love again..!!
(loud cheer and applause)
Oh Lord…Oh Lord!!
Dark times have descended upon poetry
Thank God!
Kashif you just saved us from
this wacky professor
[cheering in joy]
Seems like you dozed off
on the chair over night
Hmmm
Couldn’t blink my eye aunt
Why?
Is something the matter?
Should I tell you something?
Yeah
Last night a fairy graced Abdullahpur
You’re telling me you couldn’t sleep
But it seems you’re in
a trance of slumber.
We talked about this remember
No fairies dwell upon here
Aunt, I am telling the truth
It was truly a fairy
Lord knows whose sight
has spell-bound you
That reminds me…
I want to see her again.
But son..
I am going!
Hey!
See you later!
Son, at least eat your breakfast…
He has gone bonkers.
How did you like the ring?
It’s pretty.
Mother dear is insisting that
I put that ring on your finger
Otherwise..
I am a man who irrevocably
honors a promise no matter what.
By the way,
when will your degree wrap up?
By the end of the year.
Fair enough..
After winning the election,
I shall also take up
the governor’s office
Then, I shall ensure a grand
welcome for you in this palace
Even though, the palace is
always echoing with vibrant razzle and dazzle
Bedaar’s friends often gather here
Even the elite politicians of
the town keep visiting us..
But…
But here
No one has been able to unfurl
the feeling of a home.
Maybe your presence will
change this place into a home.
When will your degree end?
A year later
Does Salabaat pressurize you over anything?
So far he has not done anything like that.
But he often comes to get the cheque signed.
He was born in the arms of greed..
And will die in its arms!
Mr.Lawyer,
give an alternative solution!
You can acquire your deceased
brother’s property only under two conditions.
Either Gulbano hands over the property to you..
Or, if Sheroze marries Gulbano.
[puffs cigar in stress]
Other than this?
No…
There is no other option to this.
My advice would be to
Make this arranged marriage
take place by hook or by crook.
As you know,
According to your deceased brother’s will..
After the age of 21,
You will lose the right of
guardianship over Gulbano.
And you are well aware,
she will be turning 21 in a month’s time.
He doesn’t put anything
in it’s right place
How do you stand his behavior?
It’s your patience sweetheart that
you come over and handle
everything so smoothly.
Otherwise, I get so drained looking
after everything on my own.
Why don’t you get him married?
He just doesn’t even come close to
the idea of getting married.
He isn’t relishing in some fling
or anything right?
I mean to say…
Girls these days are quite cunning!
You never know when someone gets
lured into their tantalizing traps
No..
Kashif is still capable
of being mischievous..
But Fakhar is not like that.
However, I wonder what got
into him last night..
He spent the entire night
sitting on the chair..
and left at the break of dawn
without even having breakfast
He said,
he was going out to meet a fairy
I’m leaving aunt.
Call me if you need me for anything.
Sure.
What do you think of Gulbano?
Is she the personification of
a princess or a fairy?
Well…
I find her better than both.
I was able to decipher your feelings
when you were answering
questions asked to her.
I am not refraining you
from falling in love..
But I do not encourage this impatience.
Control your nerves!
If a woman gets the slightest hint
of a man willing to die for her,
She becomes capable of killing him as well.
Some workers are waiting for me..
May I take your leave?
Deciphering between the love
of a wife and a lover
would teach you the art of politics as well!
Go on now.
Wrap up your work before
sunset and be back home.
Are they here?
Yes, they have been waiting
for a while now.
What about that Devdas?
Since when did he step into politics?
Do you know who he has
laid his eyes on?
Gulbano!!
That Gulbano who has mesmerized
even Bedaar Bakht.
While he happens to be
a mere roadside scoundrel!
Think Rehaan, think!!!
What do I think about?
Think Rehaan, think about how
we can find that fairy!!
Think hard, kid!
What do you think you’re doing?
Thinking..
This is how you think?
But you were also thinking
just like that!
Sit!!!
Now tell me..
What did you witness in Abdullahpur today?
Umm..
Firstly I saw Jameela walking
towards your home
Alright..
And then I saw our neighbour
Mr.Siddiqui getting beaten up by his wife..
And.. oh ya..
Then I saw Raju checking out
a teacher outside the school.
Alright..
That’s about it.
Alright..! Let me spill the beans.
Our neighbourhood caterer
and the tent vendor Mr.Haji..
I saw them both headed
towards the white palace.
You saw them headed
to the white palace..
Sounds like a function is under works.
Your fairy has come to Abdullahpur
for gracing this function.
If there’s a function then a video will be filmed,
pictures will be clicked..
Hence, we should visit the studio
of our cricket team’s captain Ali.
And there turns out be no stellar
photographer than Ali!
Absolutely!!
What do you suggest?
Should we go?
Nope.
I’ll go on my own..
That’s enough information for the day.
Ok then, I am off!
This time at the election,
you shall have our support.
However…
Please speak your mind openly!
Help us get our hands on this property..
Huh..
The Tea Café.
Get this place evacuated,
and consider all votes to be yours.
Don’t worry,
your wish will be taken care of!
Sacrificed 10,000 bucks to get
a hold of this committee money
It’s 40,000 bucks.
Why did you bear the
loss of 10000 bucks?!
You should have waited and
picked up committee at your turn.
It was a matter of merely a month
I got to know from aunt Sakeena
that he didn’t sleep the whole night..
Nor did he eat breakfast..
He kept raving about some fairy.
I wonder who this witch is,
Under whose spell he is of!
Waiting for another minute is agonizing for me
and you are talking of an entire month!
Don’t be crazy!
There’s no one prettier than
you in Abdullahpur.
Beauty lies in the eyes
of the beholder!
But if the sight of an
ugly hag stirs the heart,
even she appears to be
beautiful to the eye.
Right?
Oh come on now, let it go.
I’ll get you married..
Everything will work out.
Madam is asking you to
try this dress on, please.
Okay listen..
Yes madam?
Do you know of a Devdas?
I would have if there
was just the one..
But every other roadside Romeo
has tattooed it on his hand.
No..
There’s this specific guy
who wears jeans.
There are many like that too..
There’s a cheap flea
market near Civil Hospital..
They purchase them in cheap rates..
torn from here and there..
and rave about it in the name of fashion.
A self-proclaimed Devdas I mean?
I see quite a few of those on my way
back home from the palace at night.
They’d be glued to the
phone with their Paro (lover).
Give me another hint..
I won’t be able to
figure out otherwise!
Another hint?
You try to recollect again
Meanwhile, I shall tell madam that you
have approved of the outfit
It won’t be a very crowded affair
But still, take a good look
at all the arrangements
Yes
Don’t forget to call the photographer
We shall send pictures
of ceremony to Salaabat.
Maybe that way he’d
stop bothering Gulbano.
Make sure all arrangements
are top-notch Niaz.
Don’t you worry, sir!
Rain has halted and the sun is out
We’re setting up here in the lawn
Hey you! Keep moving
Where the hell is
the guy with the lights?
Be prompt now!
They’ve given me the
photography gig man..
How could you go in my place?
Don’t ask me how will I go…
Instead ask, will I survive
if I don’t end up going?
Listen..
Will you die if you didn’t go?
Yaa
Have you gone bonkers?
Only recently you came
loggerheads with Bedaar
Now you’ll step into his
territory to see the girl?
He would kill you for real!
Imagine Gulbano is right before my eyes..
And Bedaar kills me
God damn!
Oh, how do I tell you?
You’re a lost cause now, brother!
Alright wait here,
I’ll grab the camera for you.
Don’t take the one on the table.
Has Gulbano inquired about
someone from you?
Yes, Devdas..
Devdas?
She’s here from Lahore
She’s deliberately stressing you
out with her dramatic notions
Otherwise, in today’s age
who cares about Devdas…
Greetings!
Greetings!
We were just talking about you.
Please sit.
What were you talking about me?
Just wondering if you liked the
dress I sent for you or not!
Dress was ethereal..
but the scarf got burnt while ironing it!
You’re frowning over such a petty thing?
No worries if the scarf has burned.
If you may allow,
could I go to the market in Abdullahpur
for purchasing a new dress?
Don’t even think about lurking
in the markets of Abdullahpur.
I have purchased many dresses for you..
Go to your room, Kulsoom
will bring them up to you
And don’t worry about the scarf.
Kulsoom would go the market
to purchase a new one.
Right.
Who else was she inquiring about?
Just Devdas and Abdullahpur
Burned the scarf yet
I didn’t get to go out
Listen,
guests there are calling for you.
Greetings!
Yes, come here and click.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Engagement ceremony is about to commence
Make sure to take good pictures
Hey you!
Get up!
Why is Niaz beating up this guy?
Please go and check what’s happening!
That day, you bloody came with
the excuse of dropping her luggage..
Today you have the audacity
to take her pictures!!
Get up!
Let me take care of you,
you bloody Romeo!
You want to wear the crown
of Abdullahpur’s Devdas
Throw this freak out of here!!
