Abdullahpur Ka Devdas (2024) s01e03 Episode Script

You really want to wear
the crown of Abdullahpur’s Devdas right?
Throw this scoundrel out of here.
Why did you create a scene
in front of the entire town?
What will Gulbano think?
An Oxford graduate Bedaar
and a mere government college
lad Shehroze are just the same?
That low-life Fakhar escorted her
to the palace that night.
And today he had the audacity
to click her pictures.
Oxford graduate or a
mere government college graduate,
Your blood boils just the same
if someone eyes your wife.
If you consider Gulbano
to be your wife
then be cognizant of a fact..
Don’t ever beat a man
in front of your wife
just because he loves her
If a woman becomes
aware of another man’s feelings for her
She inevitably ponders over
it with or without
the intention of pursuing it.
Now what do you want from me?
Send Gulbano away from
Abdullahpur immediately..
After that..
We’ll deal with this Devdas as well.
Fakhar..
Greetings.
Greetings.
Fakhar..
What is the matter son?
Nothing to fret over
Don't worry..
It’s just a minor injury.
Son, please tell me what’s wrong?
Aunt, I’ve told you already..
It’s just a minor injury.
Why are you getting stressed?
Just because I am your aunt
you’re hiding things from me
If I were your mother,
you would have poured
your heart out to me.
What’s wrong, son?
Please tell me
How did you get yourself bruised?
What’s wrong my love?
Don’t worry, I..
Come I’ll tell you.
This means, he came to
the palace for my sake.
He let himself be bruised and
butchered just to catch a glimpse of me.
I am disappointed with you.
For coming into your room?
For remorselessly beating up
someone like that
Aren’t you impressed?
Impressed with what?
That I can’t stand
the thought of someone gawking at you.
Usually girls adore possessiveness,
but you…
I am not your average
girl next door.
Anyway..
The car is waiting for you.
Pack your luggage..
You need to leave for Lahore.
At this hour?
Yes
Mother has instructed so..
Perhaps, your uncle Salaabat called
Let me send the maid to help you.
How come Gulbano isn’t up yet?
It’s already been a while since
she left for the university.
And look at you waiting
for her to wake up..
To get insights on affairs
of the white palace.
And..
Shehroze?
He’s lulled into an aloof slumber.
He was sitting in the lounge..
when Gulbano came in last night.
He has locked himself in since then.
I’m sure, Gulbano must have
said something nasty again.
No..
He didn’t even look at her!
Gulbano crosses him and
he doesn’t even look at her?
That’s impossible!!
When a girl comes bearing an
engagement ring from the enemy..
Then her ring is the concern for
the lover more than the girl.
That’s exactly what Sheroze did.
“By then we would take over
the governor’s office”
“And then, I’ll ensure a
grand welcome for you in this palace”
And, Aunt Jahan Ara..
Like this!!
Oh girl, don’t ask!!
I felt so trapped.
And that prince charming?
I did meet him…
Oh my god!!
What was he like?
Was he like your spoilt cousin or
like that VIP fiancé of yours?
How, why, where…I couldn’t wrap
my head around any of it.
But I am aware that
he took up an intense beating for me.
He got beaten up?
Why?
He barged into the palace
disguised as a photographer..
Just to catch a glimpse of me.
Oh that’s so sad!
What did he look like?
When we first met,
the lights were off.
It was raining..
I couldn’t see his face properly.
You must have caught
a clearer sight
when he was getting beaten up.
Just as I was about to catch
a clear sight of him..
Bedaar dragged me by my wrist to the stage
and made me wear the engagement ring!
Which basically means,
you couldn’t meet him despite meeting him!
That’s so sad!!
Sim Card!
Get up and step out of here..
And you’ll see two girls
right in front of you
Ohhh
One is studying, don’t focus on her
The other one is tiptoeing
like a peacock.
She’s the one you focus on.
Go on my brother, figure out
her name and department.
Name and department!
Good boy!
I’ll be right back!
Lets see, who she is!
Kashif has such poor choice!!
She who should be ignored,
he’s asking me to focus on.
And the one who should be
focused upon, he’s asking to ignore!
What took you so long?
You know it’s time to meet.
You insisted to get all
information on that Devdas.
What did you find out?
He’s an orphan raised by
a distant aunt..
He’s a cricket protégé…
That’s enough now
Do not dig into frivolous details
I’ve figured..
He’s indigent!!
Who said you’re indigent?
You’re my prince..
And princes are not indigent
Yeah nobody has said so but..
Gulbano is out of my league!
The ring Bedaar put on her finger,
It’s worth more than my entire life.
Knowing my unfortunate social status..
I’m scared of even thinking
about Gulbano
So now what?
Now?
Now I’ll just run for
the election office against Bedaar Bakht.
That beating has probably
gotten to your head.
Go see a good doctor..
I sense some internal damages.
Bedaar Bakht made me fall
flat on my knees.
Yet standing right back up,
is a self-realization
Son, get a job..
Do some business.
Don’t risk it all in pursuit
of these elections.
Wining against Bedaar Bakht in
Abdullahpur is next to impossible
Selling all your property is not
going to help!
Don’t be reckless about
your future son.
Let’s not fret over
victory or failure..
The sheer purpose of competing
against him..
is to make him realize that
I am not a pushover.
This is also ready!
Put off the lights and
close the doors.
I’ll knock on the door
in a systematic code.
Open it promptly!
Understood?
Yes madam.
Hey girl..
Where are you lost?
Fortunately, thoughts can’t be controlled
Otherwise, if it was left
to uncle Salabaat..
He would have posted five - six guards
on patrolling my thoughts too
Are you thinking about Bedaar?
That’s the thing about
an engagement ring..
The girl’s feelings get legitimized for
the man who put it on her.
And what if the ring is taken off?
Then you are at the risk
of getting married off
to some neurotic, maniacal
paternal cousin
But I am thinking about
someone else altogether
Who is it?
About Devdas!
Ohhh
So enlighten me,
what were you thinking?
That day, I saw Bedaar’s eyes
ignited with excruciating rage.
Aunt Jahan Ara sent me away
saying that uncle Salaabat
had asked me to return.
I fathomed his life was at risk.
His life is bound to be at stake..
because he has fallen for you.
But you don’t worry..
If it’s true love..
He’ll come rushing to you
against all the odds.
Even if it costs him
his last breath.
I am Bedaar’s fiancé!
What would he come to me for, huh?
A lover loyal to love enjoys
the loyalty of love too.
And this is a mere engagement..
Even marriages tend to end!
Oh Jamila, it’s you
Fakhar, you?
I was headed to…
Oh good lord!!
Tell me, who has hurt you?
Jamila will assassinate him!!
Nothing of that sort..
I ran into an accident..
I’m fine though.
You swear?
I swear.
Let me get my hands
on that Rehaan..
I’ll chop his wings off.
He’s always oozing with all
the gossip, all the time..
And such an important
news of your injury,
he didn’t bother telling me!
Where’s uncle Deewan?
Is he at the store?
Yes.
I’m going to meet him.
Oh Fakhar!
Where are you headed?
Nowhere..
To a land where there’s
no sight of Gulbano!
Come, sit here.
In fact go to every place
where Gulbano can be found.
Don’t be insolent..
Don’t flare up..
Make her feel your presence!
Your love irks her, right?
Forget that crap!
Quit on love..
Just take care of her.
So you think, this will make her
throw Bedaar Bakht’s ring away?
Leave the ring situation to me..
You are just meant to
make her feel your presence..
So that in tough times,
she chooses you.
Use your mind!
Now what is this all about?
I came to apologize.
That day, in the middle
of the road..
I misbehaved with you
in a public place,
Forcefully tried to make
you wear the ring..
I am clouded with guilt..
It was truly a grave mistake..
I realized my mistake!
This means..
you have accepted that
I now belong to someone else!
Love can’t be imposed Gulbano,
Instead, hearts are won over!
That’s the notion I have accepted.
Why are you looking
at me like that?
I am observing that when
someone changes like that,
How do you judge..
if he has actually changed or
pulling off a facade?
Time shall tell Gulbano..
You’ll believe it on your own!
And by the way,
I am really sorry for that day.
See you.
Damn it!
Sorry?!!
I can’t believe it.
Yes, dad?
Yes I have apologized to Gulbano.
I don’t think she’ll forgive
me this time dad.
Have you forgiven him?
If someone harasses you right
in the middle of the road..
No flowers make you accept their apology.
Maybe he has truly changed.
It didn’t seem like he has changed..
but was taught to act like he has!
Even if that’s the case,
It’s still good enough for you.
Maybe you’re right.
Oh wait, mom is calling.
Could you please cook today?
Thank you!
It’s beyond me how your mom
figures out that it’s your turn to cook!
Hi mom!
How are you?
It took you so long today.
I was worried to the core.
Did you doze off with the door open?
Not at all madam.
In your absence,
my sweet slumber turns
into a restless alertness.
Did Bedaar come?
No.
Get rid of this bridal look instantly!
Right away madam.
[elated chanting]
Had we ended his life that day..
He wouldn’t have
the audacity to compete against you today.
We’ll kill him!
This time we’ll give him
a death so horrific..
Forget competing against us..
Even his grave would cry in tears!
I was thinking,
how about we visit Abdullahpur?
Why?
I thought, you’ll get distracted from
the whole Shehroze debacle.
While, I’ll get to meet Bedaar too.
Okay, so..
It’s barely been 10 days
to my engagement
and it’ll give the impression
to Bedaar Bakht..
that I have fallen head
over heels in love with him.
Hey Kashif!
Hello!
Oh hello!
Yeah?
I must admit your poetry
is quite ordinary,
But your choice is
quite extraordinary!
Had this girl been
in our department,
she could have turned
anyone into a poet!
Oh really?
If not in our department then
which department is she in?
Sim Card informed me,
that she’s in her last semester
in the English department and that
her name is Ruby.
By the way,
I can help in making her
notice your feelings.
How come?
Next week, there’s
a literary festival
which is being arranged
by Professor Kutbi,
and I am the team in-charge!
I can give you the
stage to whisper sweet omen
of your love to her!
Who knows, which one
of your poetic lines
would pierce right
through her heart!!
I would have to visit
Abdullahpur for that.
He’s calling.
Pick it up..
In fact, put it up on speaker.
I am intrigued to know
about your conversations.
I will call him
back in the evening..
I’ll make him talk to you too, yeah?
Let’s go!
Wow Qandeel!!
What a spectacular idea!!
Thank you!
Is this your obsession or
is your heart being stubborn?
It’s neither my obsession nor
is my heart being stubborn!
Just an innocent desire
that you visit Abdullahpur.
What if I refuse?
That’s your right!
But do come if your
heart allows you to.
What if my heart doesn’t??
Then what?
Then..
Convince your heart otherwise.
What if it still refuses?
Then, just convince yourself.
I’m sure if you get convinced,
your heart will be convinced too!
Good night!
By giving you the right to refuse,
He has obligated you
to visit Abdullahpur.
You’ve invited Gulbano
to the palace?
She informed you?
Yes.
She has also informed me that..
You’ve asked her to
convince her heart for it.
So, she’s shared all
the details with you!
After the demise of her mother,
Her aunt became her first friend.
Anyway..
Keep this to yourself.
Don’t pour out your heart to her!
So..Is she coming?
She’ll be on her way
at the crack of dawn.
Why overthink this?
Let’s just go if
he has invited you.
And who knows..
Maybe you’ll also find
your Devdas in Abdullahpur?
What a wishful thinking
that I’ll find my Devdas.
Just a glimpse, and
he’s all I see.
Or he only dwells in
my heart infinitely.
Other than in my heart,
I don’t know where he dwells..
I don’t know his address..
I don’t know anything.
Don’t fret over it..
Just to catch a glimpse of you,
He landed himself in quite
a beating at the palace.
Which means..
He’s aware of all the
news at the palace!
Just inform once about your arrival,
He’ll instinctively gravitate
towards the palace.
What if he doesn’t come
despite getting the news?
Then you call him.
The palace is flooded with servants,
Someone must know him!
Hey Rehan!
Where are you headed?
I was looking for you actually.
Yeah?
You must have some news on Jamila!
No sir, it’s about Gulbano!
What about Gulbano?
Oh I don’t know,
I can’t seem to remember!
Hey come one, just tell me!!
Ok ok, I’m telling you!
Gulbano is returning
from Lahore tomorrow.
Who told you?
My mother did..
She said she’ll come
home late tomorrow,
when she returned from
the palace today.
I asked why?
She said Gulbano is coming
tomorrow from Lahore.
Good news, right?
Very good!!
Hello?
