How is it? - It's nice,
It's not just nice, it's spectacular,
Because Mr, Shastry has designed it,
You know what I did?
I killed him,
Yes, I killed him,
I killed him,
Be it birth or death
everything is destined,
From Sita's abduction to Lanka's destruction,
From Draupadi's ignominy to the defeat of the Kauravas,
Everything was destined,
The one above us has pre-destined everything for us,
We will have our share of the rains,
And only our share of the sunshine,
The flipping of the coin will favour us when it's our time,
Heads!
Everything is destined,
But the interesting thing is
that we have no idea where our share
of clouds, sun or coin are?
That's why I say
Keep changing the direction of wind,
Keep collecting sunshine in your fist,
Keep tossing the coin,
Without fail, relentlessly,
Because we are all destined to fly,
Today, we're going to memorize the table of 4!
Four times one is,, - Four,
Four times two is,, - Eight,
Four times three is,, - Twelve,
Four times four is,, - Sixteen,
Four times five is,, - Twenty,
Four times six is,, - Twenty four,
Four times seven is,, - Twenty eight,
Four times eight is,, - Thirty two,
Four times nine is,, - Thirty six,
Four times ten is,, - Forty,
Four times one is,, - Four,
Four times two is,, - Eight,
Yes, - Four,,
Shivkar Talpade!
You're at play while I teach,
Even you're teaching while I play,
See, children,,
At the end of my cane stands,,
The most stupid person in the world, - That's true,
But which end?
This end or that end? - Quiet!
Quiet! Learn something from your nephew, Narayan,
Year after year, he has done well at his studies
and shares the same bench, today,
And you, your books rot in the same trunk,
Same trunk? I changed my trunks this morning,
Quiet,
Do you want to set a record in failing?
Do you want to study?
Get out, - Forever?
Get out! - My bag,,
Yes,
Get out of here, - Thank you,
Quiet! No one's going anywhere,
I'll teach him a lesson,
"Free flying heart"
"Pay your respects and look above"
"I'm out to hunt with my gun of love"
"Pay your respects and look above"
"I'm out to hunt with my gun of love"
"My heart's the prince of my imaginary world"
"Salute now, here comes"
"Free flying heart"
Superb!
What? Signature?
Not just a signature, it's a memorabilia,
It's always treasured, - Of glorious people,
I see, So it's decided,
One day, I'll do something glorious that
you'll ask for mine,
And call it, memorabilia,
Buzz off! - Laughing at me?
Want a demonstration?
How about a bet? - Done,
"The sultry night like a woman is studded with stars"
"She stands wrapped in a shawl with moon"
"stitched onto it which has no scars"
"The sultry night like a woman is studded with stars"
"She stands wrapped in a shawl with moon"
"stitched onto it which has no scars"
"To reveal the mystery, I scrapped off the moon"
"There's a hole in the universe as big as the one in my pocket"
"Not a penny to spare"
"But a smile on face I always share"
"Will sell quarter of my heart for millions"
"Salute everyone, here comes"
"Free flying heart"
Hey
Seems like he has left!
That's too much!
Ticket, - Are you crazy?
Here,
Stopping me from entering my own house,
Who appointed you? Tell me, Who?
Your father did,
Govind Shambhu Talpade,
He was destined to father me at my own house,
Darn it!
I've to climb the pipe to my own home,
The trouser tore!
Make a start!
What's taking so long? - Why the delay?
Get on with it!
The curtains are going to be,,
Folks are getting restless,
What are you up to?
Make haste!
Darn it! - This way,,
The show's going to start! - Come here,,
Get it done,
Hey, champ! Come quickly,,
Your entry's next,
Me? - Yes, Come quickly,
You're late,
You aren't even ready yet,
I've told you a thousand times, You will get me fired,
No touching there, sir,, - Adjust your loincloth,
What's my name in this play?
Dushyant, Shakuntala's Dushyant,
Go on now, Go,
Shakuntala, I am your Dushyant and you're my Shakun,,
Tie it,
You've been drinking again,
Bloody drunkard,
Hope you remember the lines!
I am in love with you, Shakuntala,
Let's go far away,
Hold me tight,
Don't be so shy,
Sorry, I am late, - Who?
Sir, it's me, - Bandya, you?
Yes, - Then who's that?
Beloved,,
Beloved's got red underwear,
You want it?
Who are you?
Who sent him here?
Myself Dushyant,, 4th standard, failed eight times,
This is so ironic, friends,
In the story, Dushyant didn't recognize Shakuntala
and now, Shakuntala doesn't recognize Dushyant,
That's Talpade's useless boy,
Hey,, You mean Govind Shambhu Talpade,
Be respecting,
Someone throw him out of here,
Ma'am, oust him,, - My lady!
I am in love with you, Shakuntala,
Let's go far away, - What's this drama?
Get him out, - Get him out,
Out, What's with him? - Who was that?
Who was that? - Me,
Rascal, you came here to watch a drama, didn't you?
So? - So watch,
We want a refund,
Yes, we want a refund,
Guard, throw him out,
My priceless heart's at stake here
and he wants a refund,
What are you doing? - Evict him,
Get him out, - Let me go,
Shakuntala, make them understand, Let me go,
Shakuntala, make them understand, My slippers,,
Let go of me, you imbecile! Shakuntala!
Stop,,
Someone, catch him,
Stop,
Stop him,
Matches, - Matches?
What's up your sleeve?
Blow up His Lordship's bungalow?
When the time comes,, - You'll know,, - What?
No,, Well, what will be messier?
Your Lordship or his shit?
You're acting smart, I will search you,
You don't know what a fierce policeman I am,
It tickles, - Quiet, Stand straight,
I assure you, Mr, Shastry,
In my custody, you'll be laughing much less,
Wow, sir, You're looking like Sherlock Holmes,
Chatterjee, chatter less and arrest him, - Yes, sir,
Six to zero,,
Keep running, Talpade!
Six to zero,,
Get up, - Govind Shambhu Talpade,,
Is this the way? - The way?
Heard that, Kaushaliya?
Now your ill-mannered son will teach us manners?
What's this? - I don't know,
You don't know,, How would you know?
Education and you are like the opposite banks of a river,
Give that back,
It's wrong to touch other's belongings,
When will you learn?
And who are you? An idol of learning?
At first it was just a little fondness for alcohol,
But now, you're visiting the street performers as well,
Right?
It's the first time that anyone from
the Talpade family was found at a street performer's place,
You only said to do something that no one has done before,
Now that I did
you don't want to acknowledge it,
Shivy,
Please, just concentrate on your studies,
You've flunked 8 times in a row, I can't see it again,
Well, don't get your cataract treated,
You'll be robbed of sight,
Shivy, Quiet, Aren't you ashamed?
What shame, mother?
If he had any shame, he would know
that boys half his age are struggling for independence
and he's blabbering nonsense,
Brother, only slaves fight for liberty,
I am free, From here,
Anyway, we don't just want freedom from the Britishers,
Grandma needs freedom from our traditions
that ended in tonsure,
Mother needs freedom from your fury,
She can't even express herself, - See!
Sister-in-law needs freedom from our society,
Which did not let her study,
And, brother, you want freedom too,
From me!
And, Govind, you need freedom too,
From your orthodoxy as it's the root of all evil,
After that, we'll no longer beg
rather snatch our freedom from British,
Hey,,
Brigadier Shivy Talpade of the buffoon battalion,
Wasn't your horn honking enough
that you've also started shouting,
Not a horn, It's a trumpet,
But, where is it?
Back again to get thrashed!
No, I just wanted to see whether you still look beautiful
when I am sober,
Come in the evening,
The stars don't shine in the day,
It's lying on the table, Your English horn,
Champa picked it up from the stage,
And my heart?
Is missing since last night,
Got left behind, I reckon,
Did you find it?
You didn't tell me what you saw, - Excuse me?
Do I still look beautiful after you're sober or not?
What are you saying?
The liquor isn't intoxicating as you are,
You look gorgeous,
Those with an empty pocket
try charming with their words,
Anyway, I know the likes of you,
Who often speak nonsense when they're drunk,
Don't forget
that some speak the truth when drunk,
This is Shastry's bag, Check it!
There's no book in here, sir,
Some say he's a scientist,
Some say he's a freedom fighter,
I say he's a bomb-maker,
He's a clown, and you're too worried about him,
Empty bag, empty stomach,,
Empty mind, - Empty bag, empty mind,
They revolted against the Queen, in '57,
Keep an eye on him, - Sir,
Properly,, - Yes,,
Hey, who goes there?
Get down, - Catch him,,
Get down, - Wait, Catch him,
A bloody drunkard! Move,,
Don't push,
What're you doing here?
When did you come back from Banaras,,
Where's my book?
First tell me, how did that book get into my shirt?
We'll be skinned alive if heard, - Is it?
Excellent progress,
First the brothel and now the jail,
He's getting crazier by the day,
Getting crazy is the sign of getting smart,
According to Mr, Charu Saraswati,,
Look, please don't support him, Mr, Shastry,
And next time, you find him lying on the streets
I suggest that you take him home,
It's best if all the lunatics stay together,
The bail papers are ready, sir,
I came to bail someone and will,
Not for that oaf, but Shastry instead,
Shastry? May I remind you, sir, that he's a suspect!
He's harmless,
He's a bit eccentric, but harmless,
Make sure it's done, - Yes,
Sir, Shastry!
Bail!
Bail! Bail! Bail!
Bail!
Thank you, - Welcome,
You really are stupid,
Sometimes you have to scratch someone's back
and then, this one's your own father,
Understood, idiot?
Body of iron, brass arms,
Wheels on the legs and
a pointed nose slicing the air,
I read it somewhere,
Where's my book?
The book,, I know, I am an idiot,
But in the current situation, you have to scratch my back,
Give my bail, take your book,
Sir,,
What's he making?
Bomb or something?
Mr, Shastry barely attends to his hair,,
Bomb's a far cry!
Thank you,
I think he knows something, this one,
He's playing a game with us,
Ma'am,, My lady,,
Hey,,
I didn't bail you out for free, - Yeah,
I'll deliver the book at your address,
My address,
The entire British battalion can't find my address,
He thinks he can,
Can't handle the book or the kite,
Pull,,
No, friend, I got to let it loose,
The wind's blowing from the west, by the sea,
If I tie it here, it'll keep floating for several hours,
It's not saline so the wind isn't blowing from the sea,
It won't suffice,
2 or 3 minutes more,
5 at the most,
If you want to take a nap
then fix two paper wings on either side of the kite,
They'll cut through the wind and the kite will keep floating,
Who told you? - The eagle's wings,
I noticed them while flying kites,
It's the only bird that can stay aerial
for long without flapping its wings,
Got it?
Thanks for bailing me out,
Shivy, any relation with that girl means suicide,
Think before you do anything,
Sister-in-law, love cannot be rationalized,
So you broke out of prison,
Someone bailed me out,
This means, someone does love you,
Go on, marry her,
What's the problem?
It's social service,
Education to women, widow-marriage and,,
Prostitute-marriage!
I wish your heart was as big as your vocabulary,
Till yesterday, you barely grew a moustache
but you've grown horns now!
Look, if you want to stay in this house
then, you'll live by my rules,
Change yourself or change your house,
Okay,
Let him go!
Last night, he was lying on the streets, unconscious,
People thought he was a beggar and threw these coins at him,
That street performer has taught him new means of earning,
Well, whatever it is
it's my hard earned money,
And not taxes extracted from poor farmers, the way you do!
Get out!
Wait,,
Shivy!
My dear friend, just watch her dance,
But don't dance to her tunes,
And you just give me money, not a lecture,
Tailors don't stick pockets into shirts of paupers like us,
And my father used to say,,
Can't change direction of winds,,
I know, one should adjust the sails,,
No, simply board another boat,
You can't have your way all the time,
Moreover, I see a ship and not a boat that you're sailing in,
Epitome of loyalty! Have you got my book?
Who gave you the address?
Normally, dust deposits on books
but, there was sand on this one,
Noticed the cloth wrapped around,
Duek, a special mix of cotton and canvas
which is used in ships and boats,
I thought for a while and made my way here,
By the way, what are you trying to do?
This is beyond your imagination,
Engine, - What? En,, What?
A unique device that can pull anything,
By itself,
By itself, but upside down?
Opposite of God, - Demon!
Dirty mind,
Dev-Ved, Ved-Dev,
Ved means the knowledge of Gods,
Read it backwards,
Shloka 312, verse 8,,
Yajur Ved, - Is it?
Meaning? - Meaning,,
To do something different
you have to turn things around,
Understood?
Govind Shambhu Talpade always talks nonsense,
But he's right about a thing,
He says, after spending a decade with mad ascetics in Banaras
Shastry has lost his marbles,
You've become too curt,
I'll pull your tongue out,
Leave the reward for returning the book
lend me some money instead, 10 bucks!
Did you see a board outside that read Shastry Co-operative Bank?
Leave!
What's behind that curtain?
Why do you care? Get lost,
Shivy! - Yes,
Shivy,, - What?
Shivy, wait,
Turn the handle of that machine on the count of three,
Okay?
This one?
Yes!
Mr, Charu Saraswati,,
What else do I turn upside down to make this engine work?
Mr, Shastry, can your machine pull anything?
Yes, it can, Yes,, - Sure?
Then I suggest that you finish making it quickly,
So it can pull the vehicle of my love
back on track,
It's working,,
Shivy,, - Yes?
Will you work for me?
I'll pay you 20 bucks for a month, Take this,
A man in love is good for nothing,
This is all I need,
And in return,,
You can keep this,
It's brass, German-made,
Keep it safe,
But this engine,, How?
This,,
You needn't turn things upside down,
Steam has to pass through engine,
Shloka 318, not 312,,
Verse 3 and not 8, Yajur Ved,
See you,
Keep moving,,
Keep moving, the show's houseful,
Leave, Go,
Champa!
You said that the house was full,
What's this?
Hey,, - Why?
Can't one man buy all the tickets?
Ma'am, will you go out with me?
Sitara sells her dance, not her evenings,
None can buy off anything that she owns,
Neither her evenings
nor her art,
You,, - Ma'am,,
So, where will you take me?
It's light, That means it can fly,
Melt it, - This?
Yes, melt it down,
Mr, Shastry, what are you doing? Give it back,
You sold it to me,
But it's meant for playing,
Maybe for you, but it's just brass for me,
Hey,,
Praise the Lord!
Hail the Lord!
So, tell me disciples,,
What did Lord Hanuman fly with?
My trumpet,
His trumpet,
His trumpet? - Yes,
But, Shastry, wasn't that his trumpet? - It was,
He sold it to me, I paid,
He stole again and fled,
What will become of him?
But, Mr, Shastry, he hasn't come home since long,
I'll see whether he did or not,
This is Shivy's room,
Mr, Shastry, mind your back,
Maybe I don't look that way, but I am still agile,
And young,
Mr, Shastry,, Mr, Shastry,,
Did you get hurt? - He may not look that way,,
But he's agile and young, - Be quiet,
But the trumpet? - The trumpet was made of brass,
But your son is a gem, And I want him,
Good you chucked him out,
Because one doesn't learn to fly in the nest,
He'll fly,
Shivy will fly,
Will Shivy grow wings?
Oh God, I wonder where he is,
Champ, bring me a cup of tea,
One? Sitara never shares her tea,
I don't feel like, - You don't,
No mood or no money?
Get two, - I can't let my darling pay,
Only one,
Me,,
Your darling?
Men like you come by the dozen,
Well, what can you do?
Whatever you say? - Whatever I say?
Yes,
And what if you don't,
I won't show my face again,
What if I do it?
Then, anything you want,
I am quite a rascal,
I can ask for anything, - I see,
What'll you ask for?
A kiss?
Accepted,
On your lips?
Really?
Don't get so excited,
The reward's quite big
so you'll have to do something big,
You mean, there's a condition,
Conditions!
Three of them,
First one?
Spell it,
Make these two glasses full,
Second condition,
For you the moons and stars I'll pluck,
Even break a British officer's tooth, if needed,
Go get me a British officer's tooth!
Officer, you've a tooth ache,
I need one, One tooth, - I'm okay,
No, I'm okay,
Hold on,
Get off, - My blessings,,
Darling, spread your legs, Good,
Come on,,
Yes!
Let's go,,
Father is going to collapse on hearing the news,
But, mom might slip into depression!
Are mothers like that? Was your mother also like this?
I remember nothing,
Except that there was someone
who would oil my hair and tie a braid,
Must be my mother,
Besides, you forgot all about the conditions and the reward,
Shivy never forgets anything,
And I can't collect my reward
without completing the conditions,
So, your third condition,
Sitara never forgets too,
I will tell you my third condition too,
But when the time's right,
Crazy boy,,
Marry this crazy boy,
I admit, he's an oaf
but, one in a million,
Marry him,
Do you know what you're saying? - Yes, marry him!
What a childish demand? - Marry him!
Performers don't get married, - Why not? Marry him,
You're a blue-blood, and I'm a harlot,
Marry him,
Our worlds are different, Shivy,
He will change everything, marry him,
Even if everything changes
it can't change the fact, that I'm of a lower caste,
And, I am of a higher caste, Scores settled,
You don't settle scores in love like this,
There are no scores in love,
Get some sleep,
Will you then marry me?
When I wake up, you'll be here, right?
Sitara!
Sitara is only good for some fun,
Not for falling in love,
Don't try to find me,
"O' naive heart"
"What has befallen you?"
"After all, what's the cure"
"For this pain?"
"O' naive heart"
"What has befallen you?"
Drinking on the streets?
You dare offend the law,,
That too in officer Chatterjee's area? - What is,,
The punishment for this offence? - 6 months of jail,
And, for breaking a heart?
"From the one"
"I have hopes of faithfulness"
"From the one"
"I have hopes of faithfulness"
"From the one"
"I have hopes of faithfulness"
"Who knows not"
"What faith is"
"Who knows not"
"What faith is"
"O' naive heart"
"What has befallen you?"
"O' naive heart"
"What has befallen you?"
This is no time to drink tea,
Yeah, this is the time to get high, rather,
Care for a drink?
You brought me here to lecture me?
I took your father's advice,
If I find you lying somewhere
I should bring you home,
And so I did,
Why are you doing this? For me?
Not for you
but for myself,
I need you,
There's something about you, - What?
Something
that's rare in humans these days,
It's only found in dogs,
You've a specialty, and that's loyalty,
Whatever you do, you do it with a tinge of loyalty,
Whether it was the trumpet, or Sitara,
What's the point?
She's gone,
She hasn't gone beyond the moon and the stars, right?
There are some things, which no matter how far they are
can be seen,
Moon and the stars are in the sky,
So, why don't you build a home in the sky?
High above in the clouds,
And when you'll look down
she will be looking at you too,
But how will I get there?
On a plane,
Let's build a plane together,
Hold on, What?
A plane, - Yes, - Like Pushpak Vimaan,
Yes, People will use it to travel around,
From here to there
Like a flying ship,
Like a ship that sails on water
similarly, an air-plane that shall sail on the clouds?
What did you say?
An air-plane,
Wow! What a name?
Yes, Air-plane,
I drank and you have gotten high,
No one has built an air-plane in the world,
What a man!
I am sober again,
I am very close, yet quite far,
The English don't want me to complete my invention,
They can kill me anytime,
Your life's in threat because of an airplane,
It might be just an airplane for the people,
A scientific marvel,
But it's a revolution for me,
A ray of hope which will encourage
these enslaved people
that we're as good as anyone else,
We can be independent too,
They can restrain us on earth,
But how can they stop us from soaring in the sky?
Shivy, we Indians will fly
towards an independent future,
The first man in the world to take flight will be an Indian,
That's my dream,
Would you like to see?
Would you like to see my dream with your eyes?
Come on,
Now, jump,
Come on,
What are you saying?
On your feet, Put on your glasses,
No,, - Go!
Pull the rope!
Mr, Shastry, I am your assistant, but who is mine,
You also need an assistant?
Of course! - But who?
Mr, Shastry, me! Who else?
'Day 1,'
'Day 21,'
'Day 47,'
Hey, it's not for you, It's meant for him,
Wow
'Day 150,'
'Day 224,'
Not for you, it's for him, Go
Wow
'Day 253,'
'Day 322,'
"To shine like a star"
Easy
"You have to burn like one"
"To shine like a diamond"
"Be ready to be cut like one"
"To be immortal like time"
"You have to be on a constant move"
Hey, what happened?
Wow
'Day 551,'
Isn't it that book?
Not a book, it's treasure,
Treasure full of details about making an airplane,
I never showed it to anyone,
For I couldn't find anyone trustworthy,
I built a steam-engine,
First with helium, then I tried with nitrogen,
But everything failed, Gasoline's left out,
No, I need you, Mr, Shastry, not this book,
Keep trying out your ideas,
And I will be right beside you, as your trusted aide,
Well, irrespective of whatever happens
the British should never lay their hands on this book,
Remember that story? The beast's heart in the parrot,
Yes, - My heart dwells in this,
I derive life from this,
If this is dead, so am I,
Heads!
It's cheating, You always win,
Look, we can toss the coin
but only He decides whether it'll be heads or tails,
When it's your turn to fly
this coin will definitely favor you,
Move
Where did these dark clouds come from?
It can't be gasoline,
From Lanka to Ayodhya
how could one not encounter dark clouds?
It's clearly written in the scriptures
Light yellow, the fuel's color, Not a name,
You know better?
All I know is, we're depending much on the scriptures,
Trying to build an air-plane based on old mythological books?
Meaning Year 1200
1000,
8 miles
And Bhanu - I know, The sun!
Now multiply all three,
1200 multiplied by 1000 multiplied by 8, Figure?
960,00,000 miles,
The distance between earth and sun,
These things are mentioned
in a mythological book like this,
Mr, Shastry, these things can impress kids
flight's a far cry!
You don't trust me, do you? - No, I don't,
Then, leave, - Fine, I am going,
Leave,
Trying to teach me!
So, you're back,
Back in 4 and a half hours,
Last time, you took 6,
Don't make me furious, I'll leave again,
So go, Who's stopping you? Leave now,
Go, It's my house, why me? - Why don't you?
What are you saying? - Be quiet
When did this arrive? Didn't mention
There's nothing to say,
The king of Baroda has denied our request,
Shivy, seems like our destiny
is out for a stroll,
Mr, Shastry, one shouldn't depend on destiny too much,
Even the unfortunate do have a fate,
You don't look stupid, but you are,
Man will fly,
Fairytale,
In real life, fairytales don't come true,
I am sorry, I don't believe in your claims,
But you believe in Lord Ram, right? The Pushpak Vimaan
in which Lord Ram flew from Lanka to Ayodhya,
You're talking about mythology,
Myth
That's a lie, Unfortunately, Your Highness,
These stories have no relation with reality,
Even we've read in scriptures,
That Gods could communicate from a distance,
Graham Bell's telephone does the same thing,
Railways, motor cars, phonogram, telegram
All these fairytales are now coming true,
Because we're unraveling the mysteries behind them,
The mysteries will keep unraveling
and these tales will turn into reality,
His Highness, if what we built wasn't commendable
then the British wouldn't be after us,
You mean, the English are ignorant
and you two are smart,
Have we ever built anything before them?
Aryabhatt invented Zero before the rest of the world,
Zero,
Saint Kannad discovered the Atom
before the British could, Atom,
5,000 years ago, the diamond was discovered in India,
I reckon that the British didn't even exist back then,
Your Highness, do you know
why fairytales don't turn into reality?
Because, in a haste to grow up
we forget to think like kids,
Man shall fly, an air-plane shall be made,
We need thy help to turn this tale into reality,
And yes, we're not stupid,
Just a little eccentric,
How much money do these eccentrics need?
"Bless me with your grace"
"The Lord smiles through your face"
"Stone turns into a gem at your place"

What is this? - What exactly is it?
Move What's going on?
Quiet!
It's not a bomb, it's a flying machine,
That's what my sources have told me,
And that too, based on the Vedas,
That's what my sources have told me, sir,
Wilson, I believe you're up for a promotion,
And if my sources are right, be prepared for a transfer,
Sir, monkeys cannot make machines,
At least not without metal,
Sir!
Let me see how will the plane fly?
No one will sell metal to us,
No shopkeeper or any junk-seller,
A monkey can stop jumping around
but the British will never stop interfering,
How will I build the wings now?
With my head - Let's use wood!
Whom are you writing to? Your mother?
Why don't you
ever post it?
I told you, Wood,
Don't worry,
Will post it when time's right,
Whenever I talk to him, it feels like I am talking to a mirror,
Me as well
I couldn't say anything either,
Come on, we'll make the wings out of wood,
We made it of wood the last time,
It broke under the weight,
What do I do with the king's money?
The British never learn, so we won't either,
No one will sell metal to you
but, will certainly tender you coins,
Coins?
Sir, it's considered sacred,
I know,
I'll be the sinner,
Make it in this shape,
It'll be done!
Father
Serve the young man first, - No,
Sir, guests are like God,
If you don't eat, then I'll be a sinner for sure,
Go on,
I'll eat, But first, do you go to school?
She's in class 2,
Nice! What's your name? - Sitara,
Recite the poem describing a bird for him,
Collecting little by little, She delicately makes her nest,
Smiles through winters, summers and rains,
Smiles in every test,
Sitara Devi, I finished building it,
It's ready,
When I pour the gasoline, the engine will start to roar,
This thing will churn around cutting through the wind,
Due to the air pressure, the airplane will fly up,
Everyone shall applaud,
But I didn't come here to tell you that!
I came here to say that I feel scared,
Very scared,
Won't let you leave upon meeting,
Can't you come back?
Come back!
What are you wearing, Mr, Shastry?
Wear this green coat today,
You'll look good, Try it!
No,
I'll wear that the day I'll take-off in the air-plane,
Or the day I fly off myself,
This one's fine for today,
Come on,
What happened?
Will it fly high enough so that Sitara can watch it from anywhere?
Hey You said so,
At 10:22
the sunrays will make a 48 degree triangle
and the gasoline will boil in the engine,
The air-plane will fly exactly at 10:22,
On that note, say cheese!
Glory to - Tilak!
Glory to - Mother India!
Tilak! - Yes,
I heard an air-plane's going to fly here,
Did you see it?
Didn't take-off yet, right?
You're here to see our air-plane?
No, but to witness the first flight of freedom,
Glory to - Tilak!
Sir, why do you think the Viceroy called us here?
I'm very sure it's about those two Indians,
I warned you about them,
Good morning, Your Highness,
Still biter Do you know why, Governor?
India is a poor land of uneducated tribals
snake charmers and sages,
In colonizing, it is we who have done them a favor,
It's taken us years to paint that image to the west,
If a news like this gets out now, that image will be shattered,
It seems to me, that right under your noses
these two crazy Indians have been building
some kind of a flying machine, What have you been doing?
Snoring,
Captain, put him behind bars immediately,
And what? Make him into a national hero?
Be clever, Get me that book,
I want my tea to taste sweet,
Give me the number six spanner,
Sir, the number six spanner,
Mr, Shastry, I can handle this simple machine,
But you take charge of that complex one,
I wonder what he's doing,
Sitara! Sitara!
Shivy! Two tickets for Kolkata,
Tagore has called for us,
He wants to honor us,
Shivy, tell me something,
Are you sure, it was her?
Fine Narayan, are you finished yet?
Hurry up, We've to go find an aunt for your uncle,
For the wedding, you'll need money, sir,
Two rupees! Is that what they are paying these days
for the star inventor?
A National Hero, is it?
What do you say to 5000 rupees with a single stroke of the pen,
I need the book,
And I think, right now
you need something to eat,
Samosa!
Sir! No
Too hot,
Hot means steaming hot and it also means spicy,
Miser Englishmen,
A single word does twice the work!
But thankfully, we've two words,
You choose one, yes or no!
Mr, Shastry, 6000 is the absolute limit I can offer you,
The most I can offer you is this,
Jalebi,
I will take it, but the Viceroy won't take no for an answer,
He'll make your life the way you like it,
Hot and spicy,
Good day to you, Mr, Shastry,
Good day, sir,
Shivy, a simple machine
tightened the noose around their necks,
When we really fly on a plane they will
Freak out in their rants and leak out in their pants!
Dushyant is back! - Hey!
In your city - Come on!
Don't let this chance pass,
Or you'll be fixing machines all life like me,
Run!
Where's Sitara?
One star sets and the other rises,
That's the tradition here,
Where's Sitara?
It's easier to find the address of clouds,
A particular lane or an area maybe,
But these girls are difficult to find,
Where's Sitara?
The day she stopped performing
we bid her farewell,
Come on, Champa, It's your entry,
6/17, Patil Chawl, Dadar
Let's go,
"I offer my life"
"To you"
"I offer my life"
"To you"
"I offer my life"
"To you"
"I don't know anything"
"Else as a prayer?"
"O' naive heart"
"What has befallen you?"
Haven't got rid of the habit of climbing through windows?
You never made a relation meant for a door,
Why did you leave?
You had fallen for me,
Wanted to marry me,
And you?
It may be easier to bind water,
But street performers don't get married
Why did you return that day?
That wasn't the first day, You just spotted me that day,
I noticed you many times in the market with Mr, Shastry,
I even stood under your window,
Why didn't you come up?
I couldn't climb up pipes, like you,
Maybe street performers don't
but cotton-cleaners do get married,
Marry him,
I am not beautiful anymore, - You never were,
Marry him,
I no longer have the same grace, or attitude,
Marry him,
I am neck-deep in debt, - Marry him,
You built an air-plane, - Marry him,
The first one, - Marry him,
Your pictures get published - Marry him
I will leave everything, Marry me,
Ms, Sitara
Sitara! - Greetings,
A little more time?
Ran out of pages on ledger
but you don't seem to run out of time,
You say you don't have money,
And here you are - Sir
Hands to yourself, - Old flame?
I'm not new either, Didn't you tell him?
Unpaid rent for three years,
Food, clothing and all that,
Women are expensive to maintain,
Yeah,
Fine, You don't have money, right?
So, how about doing me some favor too,
How dare you - Shivy!
Just mention the figures,
3,132 rupees is the principal amount,
Add up the interest on your own!
It happens,
It often happens,
And then
I am not different enough to escape this fate,
I had to trust someone,
Don't be sad,
I didn't feel offended,
I am also human after all,
Shedding tears is normal,
Shivy, so much money in such a short while
From where?
Shivy?
Naru, where's Mr, Shastry?
He left in the morning wearing his green English coat,
'No'
'I will wear this the day I take off in the air-plane,'
'Or the day, I fly myself,'
Uncle
Uncle, listen!
Mr, Shastry?
My friend, my guru, my teacher,,
He believed in me when even I didn't believe in myself,
And do you know what I did?
I shattered his faith,
I stole his book which was dearer to him than his life,
And killed a man
who gave me my identity,
I am a murderer,
I am a murderer,, I am a murderer,
Hail the Lord!
Uncle,,
Why did you come here?
Don't you know that I am a thief? Go, Go home now!
You did it for me, Shivy,
I am the murderer, not you,
What did you bring? - Nothing,
What's written on that paper?
That your uncle is a murderer,
I had brought offerings for you, I won't abandon you,
I can forgive myself
only when you do the same for yourself,
And that will happen
only when you fulfill Mr, Shastry's dream,
Mr, Shastry said,, Never leave your uncle,
Don't ever leave him,
I am your Shivy, right?
I need you,
Shivy, you will have to build the airplane,
For me, for yourself,
For Mr, Shastry,
At any cost, you will have to do this,
Mr, Shastry had said,, Tell your uncle
on 7th November at 9:24 a,m,
the winds will blow from the sea,
The airplane shall fly,
Hail the Lord!
And this is my third condition,
"From the beloved's clutches"
"Beyond the cage and its crutches"
"From the beloved's clutches"
"Beyond the cage and its crutches"
"He'll flap his wings and soar into the sky"
"Across the clouds, and fast like the lightening, it will go high"
"The swan will fly away alone"
The day it's your turn to fly
this coin will flip in your favor,
"Sharpen all your weapons"
"We'll live our dreams too"
"We'll shape it with hard work"
"We'll live our dreams too"
"We'll shape it with hard work"
"You're one in a million"
"The swan will fly away alone"
I am sure it's not gasoline,
Out of money and no clue of the fuel,
Whether I make this airplane or not
I will definitely make a new record for failing,
Are you asleep?
With your glasses on?
Dreams seem clearer,
What are you thinking about?
Building a toy is one thing
but building a real airplane is different,
And making it fly,,
What? - I mean, a person will sit in it,
So the weight will be double,
How can gasoline make it fly?
A mouse can run on peanuts, but not an elephant,
So, how will this fly?
You don't know,
But there must be someone
who knows what fuel will this plane use?
Hold on,,
Mr, Shastry often used to mention a name,,
Charu Saraswati!
Mr, Charu,
If you want fuel, then you'll have to answer my five questions
in the opposite way,
Not wrong, but opposite,
If you answer any question correctly, I will leave,
First question?
What's essential for humans to survive?
Air or water?
Hope,
What hurts the most?
Lies or humiliation?
Disloyalty,
What is more frightful?
Death or poverty?
Failure!
Your fifth question is?
No, it's the fourth, not fifth?
You lost? - How?
You gave the right answer,
This is cheating, Absolutely unfair,
Mr, Shastry respected you, and,, - You? Shivy?
Shivy?
Shastry had told me, you will definitely come,
He said that you will unravel the mysteries that he couldn't,
I could never understand,
Whether he had faith you or believed in you more!
Are you his son?
Yes,
A useless son of a talented father, - Shivy!
Even I don't know the solutions, lad,
The scriptures only have questions, not answers,
The answers lie within us,
It's up to us to decipher them,
It flows, but it's not water,
It shines, but it's not silver,
4121, the fuel,
Go, fly your airplane!
Fly your airplane!
Go, Fly your airplane!
Fly your airplane!
Go, Fly your airplane!
Uncle, Ms, Sitara,
Happy Dussera, - Happy Dussera,
So poor Ravan has been killed,
Your uncle doesn't know
that Ravan is slain, not killed,
Naru, hand me that hammer,
No hammer, just gold,
Happy Dussera,
It looks amazing, uncle,
Our airplane will look like this,
Your Ms, Sitara doesn't know
that one needs lots of gold to build an airplane,
The real one, not fake,
You stole it?
Ms, Sitara, doesn't your Shivy know
that taking something from your own house, isn't stealing,
I'll knock some sense into you,
Mr, Shastry's airplane won't be built with filthy money,
Then how will we build it, uncle?
Using some old parts and some old acquaintances!
Looking the part?
Hello, I am Shivkar Talpade,
Go on, - I am Narayan Talpade,
We're about to build the world's first airplane
that will fly men,
We request you to lend all the help you can,
Come on, - Oh yeah!
Airplane, - Yeah,
Humans will fly! - Yes,
Go find someone else to fool! - Hey,,
Hello,, I am Shivkar Talpade,
I am Narayan Talpade,
We're about to build,,
Humans can fly,, - What the,,
Hello,, - Hello,
I am Shivkar Talpade,
Hello, I am Shivkar Talpade, - Hello, Wait,,
Wait,, - Ma'am,,
Trying to cast a new spell?
I have just a few days till 7th,
It's now or never,
What's so special with 7th November?
Mr, Shastry's experience and knowledge,
The day, the time,, High-tide, low-tide,,
Speed of air, moisture,,
It's not easy to understand,
For that, one needs to understand the universe,
Shastry was an expert at that,
Not me!
Building an airplane is not my cup of tea,
I don't know whether it is or not?
But I've heard that a man in love
often does things beyond his limits,
Don't expect anything anymore,
Neither money or nor praise,
Your airplane's has pricked the eyes of the British,
Come on, Your Highness, the tiger's waiting,
Just a minute, sir,
I am an enslaved king of an enslaved country,
I've to hunt down the tigers of my own jungle
for the sake of their happiness,
Not sure if history will forgive me
but please find the heart to forgive me,
Best of luck!
"Bless me with your grace"
"You're my benefactor on this journey"
"You can turn stones into diamonds"
Won't fly,
Our airplane will never fly,
Shivy, don't say so,
Tell you what!
Let's pick a chit,
It will fly,,
It will fly,
Mr, Shastry was right,
Our fate has gone out for a stroll,
Leave it, It will be the opposite of what is written here,
Shivy!
It will fly!
Which means I chose,, It won't fly,
Our airplane will never fly,
It will,
My dear friend, since you built your airplane
you forgot all about your old friends,
And I heard that you're building a big airplane,
No, Mr, Khan, I tried my best,
I've no money or morale left,
What are you saying?
Then, you'll have to come home with me,
My 6 year old son keeps telling his school friends
that his father used to play in band with Shivkar Talpade,
You're his hero,
I don't have the courage to tell him
that his hero has lost all his courage, You only tell him if you can,
You don't know, but you're the only free Indian
of this enslaved country, Only one,
You're the one who gives us courage and hope,
Of an independent tomorrow,
You will have to fly,
For us,
For the workers that toil in the mills,
The laborers that build bridges,
For the arms that pull the rickshaw,
For we Indians, you will have to fly,
How, Mr, Khan? This is all I have,
Will the airplane fly with this? - It will,
Your airplane will definitely fly,
Here you go,
The entire neighborhood saved this for Haj,
Go fly your airplane,
We'll consider our Haj done,
And if that's not enough, then take this too,
We poor people have a big heart,
Will you fly your airplane now? - Of course he will,
Want to bet 50 paise on it?
Raise the bet by a rupee now,
"Your prayers"
"I bowed, I kneeled, I even prayed secretly"
"I stopped and prayed I knelt and prayed"
"The nomad in me has surrendered to you"
"No sense of dying"
"No sense of dying nor of living"
"The nomad in me has surrendered to you"
"Your prayers"
"With hope carved on my tools"
"This simple wood needs to travel the world"
"Now these wings cannot be stopped"
"The swan will fly Away alone"
"The swan will fly" "Away alone"
Accounts,,
I need to finish these accounts today, Gokhle, Where's Gokhle?
Gokhle,
Godbole,,
Narayan! Narayan!
What's this? What's this?
Look, Narayan, no airplane can fly without the fuel,
Your uncle is crazy, And you're even crazier to believe him,
You might be crazy, My uncle is not crazy,
He's not!
My uncle is not crazy, - Narayan!
Forget it, Mohan,
He's just a kid,
No, father, You can live without your son,,
But not me,
I can't live without him, I can't,
You want promotion, don't you?
Promotion?
I have a piece of information,
Naru, I know what's 4121,
True, - F for fodder,
1 plus 2 makes 12, An animal with 12 horns,
When the animal would eat this fodder
he will poop,
That's the fuel!
Uncle, everything's a joke for you,
Narayan, no matter what you do in life,,
Be a doctor, lawyer, collector or anything,
But don't ever cry, You know why?
Crying doesn't change anything,
Look at me, The teacher chucked me out,
I left with a smile,
Found Sitara and I smiled,
Father threw me out of the house, but I still smiled,
Mr, Shastry said, let's fly,,
I still smiled, I even built an airplane, Smiled,
It's just once when I didn't smile,
When Mr, Shastry passed away,
I cried a lot,
But, did that change a thing?
That's why I say,, Smile!
Laugh aloud,, Laugh!
Come, - But, uncle, the fuel?
We'll figure something out,
Uncle, we've just two days, - Come,
Children, this is our Solar System,
That's what it is called in English,
What is it called? - Solar System,
Very good, In the center, we have the Sun,
And the first planet is called Mercury
which in Hindi is called,,
Different names in Physics and Chemistry,
Physics and Chemistry? Who's this learned chap?
Me Shivkar Govind Talpade,
An old scholar of your class, - So, it's you,
The plane flew?
Class 4, failed 8 times in a row,
He'll fly an airplane, build a flying ship,
Young man, if you're that smart
then, explain it to the kids!
Come,
Here,
Mercury,
Buddh in Physics and, in Chemistry,,
Uncle, You see 4121 everywhere,
Naru, this isn't 4121, it is,,
Oh yes, Mercury in Hindi looks like 4121,
Just needed to add a line,
We found the fuel,
Uncle, it shines,, - But it's not silver,
It flows, - But not water,
The mixture of metal and chemical, Mercury,
Will our airplane fly now? - Of course,
No, it won't, Don't move,
But why? - You're under arrest,
Uncle,,
Hold him down!
Right,
Bring him up,
Don't worry, the airplane will fly,
You'll find mercury in the thermometer,
Thermometer,
Un,,
I heard, but couldn't believe it, - What?
That someone flew an airplane
or that your useless son flew one,
Although it's late, but I still came to congratulate you,
Govind Shambhu Talpade,
You know why I made it this far?
Because of you,
For I am like you, Headstrong!
The accused numbered 931,,
Mr, Shivkar Talpade,,
Mr, Shivkar Talpade,
Would you like to say something in your defense?
Your Honor, there's just one thing
I want to say to your Britishers,
Thank you, Thank you for arresting me,
Thank you for bringing me here,
Thanks for filing this case against me,
If you hadn't done this, I wouldn't have reached out to my people,
Thank you for bringing me close
to my people,
Flying an airplane seemed like a fairytale,
I had lost all hope,
But today, after seeing all these people
I've made up my mind,
Humans will fly,
So for mending my broken courage,,
Thank you,
Friends, there's just one thing I want to say to you,
These Britishers can steal our slumber
but not our dreams,
When I fly my airplane
you will hear just one voice
in the engine's rattle,
Vande Mataram!
Sir, I am no freedom fighter,
But for giving me the opportunity
to say Vande Mataram in front of all my people,,
Thank you!
Vande Mataram! - Vande Mataram!
Come on,
Friend, our paths maybe separate
but our destination is the same,
Freedom,
Tomorrow, everyone will hear just one voice in engine's rattle,
Vande Mataram!
Tonight's the last night, tomorrow the final goodbye,
Without me?
It's suicide,
I don't know how to stop, turn or land, It's an unsolvable maze,
You can jump off too!
Death in any case,
I'm burdened with Mr, Shastry's murder,
What if something happens to you,
You fulfilled my third condition and now you don't want your reward?
I know you want me to come with you,
No, I don't want you to come,
You want it, - No,
If you didn't, then why would you put two chairs in it?
Tell me,,
Because, I,, - Yes,,
I want,,
Speak up,
No reason!
Uncle, say cheese!
Move this way, a bit, - That's good?
Hey, our Newton,
Will Chatterjee from the police station come to click our picture?
It's automatic, uncle, - How?
It's simple,
Well, I've put in a small piece of cotton in the camera,
And poured two drops of water,
When the cotton gets heavier
the shutter will click,
And take our picture, Look straight,
Uncle, what's inside? - Letters, for my mother,
Tomorrow at 9:24, your uncle will fly away,
Don't stay asleep,
Narayan, your father's furious, hurry up,
Mother, I'll be there, you go, - Come on,
Sister-in-law,
Are you really going tomorrow?
Will you never come back?
Good for you, At least you will be free,
Don't worry about Narayan, I'll appoint a tutor for him,
I'll take care of mother, father,,
You just go,
Choose one,
Come on, choose,
Stupid! You lost again,
Don't lose tomorrow, Shivy,
Don't lose tomorrow,
Not tomorrow,
Make India proud!
I will wear this the day I take off in an airplane,
"With a bag full of memories"
"And a trunk stuffed with love"
"Turned the key"
"Seatbelts fastened"
"Turned the key"
"Seatbelts fastened"
"Time to go kiss the moon"
"The swan will fly"
"Away alone"
"The swan will fly"
"Away alone"
Go, - How?
Father will rough me up,
Go quietly,
Where to, this early?
I told you not to, - But, father,,
You won't listen, will you?
You won't listen,,
Dawn comes everyday
but airplanes don't fly every day,
You will definitely go watch the airplane fly today, Narayan,
Go,
Let go!
We shall salute you rather,
My dear friend, before you become the world's first flying man
won't you give me an autograph?
Here,,
Memorabilia!
Sir,, - Yes,
The people have seen the airplane,, - What?
The information is true,
It will end the way, it all started,
In the middle of the clouds,
Hold me tight, don't be shy,
Do you remember your lines?
I am in love with you, Shakuntala,
Let's go far away,
"Vande Mataram!"
It flew!

My uncle took flight!
