BOMBAY DREAMS

House Salam Bombay with house lights (Music: Bombay awakes curtains clue lights play up and Narration) (The curtains part, revealing a scene from the street in the slums where Akaashs home is. There are activities of the common folk, like the Pan Walla, the Cycle repair guy, Shanti, Sweety and friends) Music song Bombay dreams Sweetie: Shanti! Shanti! Abay oh Shanti! (Shanti Enters, Holding a pooja thali in her hand) Shanti: What Shanti Shanti? Manhoos! Look what youve done! I saved todays Prasad for Akaash! And youve ruined it What a waste! Sweetie: (in struggle to get free) Yes yes yes (Sarcastically) how can I forget everything in the whole world is for that hero of a prince you have Shanti: (Twisting harder) how many times have I told you not to fill his mind with that bollywood garbage? I know he is my handsome little boy, but by no means he is a star it breaks my heart you know he needs to find better things in life than false hopes. This city is cruel And you fools make him think he has a chance! Sweetie: (Finally freeing herself) oh Shanti you are so right about one thing he is soooo handsome, my shahrukh, my abhishek I would marry him right away if I could afford an operation (Long sigh) But old woman, you are so wrong about the other thing Shanti: about what? Sweetie: He is born to be a star youll see one day he will make it through this cruel city and everyone will love him the way I do just have faith in him and a little bit of vision! Shanti: Kambakht mari come back down to earth Vision? What vision? All the vision I see is my empty kitchen. And that too decorated with posters of Aishwariya and Shahrukh (Dolly and pinky Appear) Dolly: Hayeeee. Did someone say my name? Shanti: Hunh? Dolly: Oh come on mosi you told me yourself that I look like Aishwariya didnt you? Sweetie: ae hai Aishwariya would commit suicide if she would look like this I remember it perfectly, mosi was actually saying that you look like Ashwarias body guard. (blushes) and actually she told me that I was the one who really look like her Pinky: look like mosi? Sweetie: Ae hai! Like Aishwariya! Dolly: Aye Haye! the closest youll ever get to looking like Ash is if she changes into Nana Patekar! Sweetie: Well its still better than looking like her body guard!

Shanti: Enough! I have had enough bakwas about Aishwariya. I have told you a thousand times to talk to Akaash Not everyone can be the talented tour guide he is if he could only think about it seriously he would bring at least 40 rupees everyday Pinky: Only if he doesnt spend it on cinema tickets Shanti: hai my poor boy! If only he could see that a life in the slums is not as dreamy as he wishes it were. And he is late again Sweetie did he tell you where he was going? Sweetie: Oh! Thats why I came looking for you Shanti: So? Where is he? Sweetie: How would I know? Shanti: Didnt you come to tell me that? Sweetie: No! I came here to see if you knew where he is Shanti: Dafa ho! My poor boy Wherever has he gone? Dolly: (realizing) Oh I know, he went to the cinema! Shanti: He told you? Pinky: I found a movie ticket in his back pocket! Sweetie: What were you doing in his back pocket? Pinky: Jealous? Sweetie: Not really, I know he loves me you & Dolly can seduce him all you want. Shanti: Oh shut up you two my boy will become like you if he spends any more time with you Sweetie: Dont be upset Shanti, hell be back any moment now (looks at the time) the show must be over (Akaash walks in swinging and dancing Music in the background Dances with Sweetie and goes towards his mother, acting drunk) Akaash: (imitating Shahrukh khan, holding Shantis hand) Paro!

I I called them so that so that they can see us work and do some critique Priya: (giving looks of AS IF) Oooo Kayyy (to eunuchs) Hi (to Akaash) so lets start our work then Look, now in this scene, your character is supposed to be a little frustrated but at the same time, he has a soft corner for everything that rani, I mean pooja is telling him you need to produce emotions like love in yourself Akaash: and how exactly am I supposed to do that? Priya: well, this is what we academics call emotional memory Sweety: and we call it Tichum Tichum Pinky & Dolly: (singing) Jumma Chumma Day Day Jumma Chumma Day Day Chummaa (Priya is shocked while Akaash is embarrassed, Priya tries again) Priya: You see when youre in the presence of rani, I mean pooja, all you have to do is ask yourself how would you feel in the presence of someone you love and then direct that physiology into the character youre in its that simple (all four shake their heads in agreement as if they do understand what she is saying; priya slowly realizes that it actually was difficult and not simple) Priya: Ohho! OkI know just what to do lets pretend that Im pooja and you love me ok? Sweety: I can see that Priya: what? Pinky: she means that we know that he loves you Dolly: (sings) Dekha hay pehli baar saajan ki aankhon main pyaar Tatta nata tatta nata tatta nata Ab jaa kay aaya mere Bechain dil ko qaraar Tatta nata tatta nata tatta nata Dilbar tujhay milnay kooo Akaash: (shouts and interrupts the song) This is not true Priya: WHAT?

Youre beautiful! And you are honest! And independent and Beautiful! but kind of defensive, and you look so pretty in all that!!anyone wouldwant tolove a personlike you! (There is a pause in which they both stare at each other while the eunuchs speak, background score from taal) Sweety: can you feel the magic? Dont you see the love in his eyes? Pinky: dont you feel your heartbeat going up as if you have just climbed up a hill? Sweety: dont you feel like swinging around the trees? Dolly: dont you feel like running into the wheat crops to ruin them forever? (sweety slowly slaps dolly for such an unromantic description) Sweety: dont you feel like falling Akaash: in love? (They both stare at each other for some time and slowly the song starts) (music Song: closer than ever) Priya: (Angrily) Okay! Enough time wasted already I need you to focus on the lines and show me how you would perform Akaash: well I sure am trying that for some time now Priya: (hands him the script and points to a line) Okay!

Sweety: I think we shall go mere RAJJA Take good care of your rani (to rani) aye RANI, Bye! But you can still think upon the offer (eunuchs laugh and sing Shakalaka Baby and they leave. Rani is shocked at what has been said and she is left with Akaash, akaash seems indifferent to her presence and is dreamy about priya) Rani: I guess youre not that stupid after all! Akaash: What? Rani: oh you know very well what! Seducing the producers daughter with your stupid friends to score your way! (goes towards him touching his arm ) Oh my! That is so smart!

Madan: No one talks to me like that! Vikram: get used to it old man your empire is my fathers now and mine I own you! Rani: Such hostility! Vikram darling why dont you leave poor madan alone after all, hes your father in law to be unless Vikram: unless?

Rani: well what can I say? I mean these street boys they have a strange attraction about them they can entice anyone if you know what I mean.. Vikram: what are you getting at? Rani: your little chiria seems to take a lot of interest in the slums boy Vikram: enough rani! I will not have this priya and I are in love and I trust her completely she will not betray me will she madan? Madan: I just want for my daughter what her heart wants it doesnt matter to me Vikram: old man you will make sure she stays strictly professional on this or you know me very well by now Madan: my daughter deserves much better than you Vikram: this is not open for discussion my dear madan. And besides what will she find in that slums boy with no manners and not to mention empty pockets I can give your daughter the world and him well Rani: and what if he becomes a superstar? His pockets wont be that empty then would they? Vikram: it will be too late by then rani she is tangled enough in my web already Ive played my cards well (freeze, lights out)
