Bombay Velvet (बॉम्बे वेलवेट)

A dog who runs after two bones catches neither

Here a run, there a run, catch none

Listen up humpty on the wall

that's what your life has come to.

Head held high, you ran the race

Life kicked you back to base.

Out on a limb in love

Out of luck in the bar

The white man's got the tavern by his toes.

Your dame's left you.

The bar is closed.

Hey, middle class Indian, you're out of luck!

Walk with me. Don't wander off.

Stop giving me the eye.. Your lease ran out in 1947.

Sir, I need work.

I'll do anything.

Fight them with me.. I'll give you two pennies.

My name is Chimman. What's yours?

Balraj.

You promised you will marry me, but you put me in this brothel.

Now you say you love me, just to take my money.. - Shut up.

Shut up and listen to me..

If you won't sleep with them..

Then how are you gonna feed this dog who you picked up off the street.

Usso be a big shot.

How much??

Lottery!

Balraj, the 100-rupee note is real big.

Wrap it around yourself and sleep tight.

Keep your mother off me.

Dimple, don't go.

I give ya money, don't I?

Mind your own business.

Balraj, let it go. This happens every day, right?

Now, talk. Or you want me to force it out of you?

Lay off, idiot.

And if I don't?

I'll hit you.. - Fine. Take your shot.

You know Sadhna? The actress?

I shot her first pictures here.

I made her a superstar.

Superstars don't cover themselves like this..

Take your clothes off and put these on.

Silence!

Anyone Indian enough to fight this samurai?

Anyone with courage? I'll give you a hundred to one.

Yeah..

Go. Take it all out.

JAPANI..JAPANI...

You do enjoy a good fight.

The way he beat me up..

I forgot my mother and her man.

Want to earn some extra bucks? - For losing the fight?

There was a lot of heart in your fight.

You fought well.

LARSEN..

BALRAJ..

CHIMMAN.

City of Bombay, to soon become a metropolis.

Keep the cash in hand, boys.

No treasure hunting in your pockets.

Stop wasting my time.

Chimman! Chimman.

All here.

Let him go..

It's Larsen we want.

LARSEN!

LARSEN escaped but we got four of his coolies..

Went to carry the boxes..

Yeah I have their names.

Mirza, Baakhiya,

Sherkhan, Chimman Chopra.

Why do you wander, love fool?

Everything is right here

All the rest of the stories

are just lies you mustn't know

'Fifi' in your heart, 'Fifi' in my heart.

Misleading times ahead!

Shifting your ground with those measured moves.

Let the eyes meet, throw your caution to the wind

Listen to me darling, stay a little while.

Come around now, show kindness to an aching heart.

Why do you wander, love fool? Everything is right here.

All the rest of the stories, are just lies you mustn't know.

'Fifi' in your heart, 'Fifi' in my heart.

Misleading times ahead!

Oh lone huntsman, flaunting your brawn.

Once of a while, Try and be my prey.

On our first clay together, pay heed to what I say.

It's ungentlemanly to walk away from so close.

Hey..

That one is mine.

'Fifi' in your heart, 'Fifi' in my heart.

Misleading times ahead!

Larsen flew the coop..

The police say he's gone for good.

Hey, what happened?

Hey, what you looking for?

My gold.

Did you see my mother anywhere?

YOU?

I'm here to look for johns, not for moms.

Where is her man?

Where is he? Tell me or I throw you off..

Balraj, let go of her.

What do you want?

Where's my mother?

Where's my gold?

No idea.. - Nothing here.

Biscuits. Where are the biscuits?

I dunked them in tea and ate them.

Mom gave you a box with gold biscuits in it?

She never gives me anything..

And she took that box and she sloped off.

You sing well.

But why sing the bollywood songs..

Jimmy Mistry is my name..

You never felt any shame..

When you did this picture.

Hey!

I warned you.. This one is mine.

Does she even know you exist?

Ask her..

If she goes with you.. She will never see me ever again.

Hey come on out..

What you looking at that Parsee man for?

Your name is written right here, in my fate"

It does not matter where you go.. Eventually you'll be mine.

But if you come today with me.. You'll save his life.. From me!

What say?

That Parsi man can't give you anything"

I got what a dame like you wants.

I lost that one thing today I never thought I will ever lose..

I'm in no mood to lose anything else, anymore..

Bring them on!

I'm gonna deal with Genghiz here.

She likes big boys with big toys.

That's what I need. A big car.

I know somebody who works in a garage..

We work there and we drive cars for free.

Nah, I'm not gonna slave for anyone..

Stop counting this shit.

This kinda cash I'm going to be using' for tips.

I'm gonna be a Big Shot, Chimman.

Just imagine..

Big shot in a big car.

And she will come.. All dolled up for me..

You'll open the door..

She'll get in..

I'll take a deep sniff of her..

And we'll be off.

What about me?

You should have gotten into the backseat..

Come on.. Get in.

Each and every hair on my body is standing up and saluting me.

Mine too.

Keep the motor running.

Gimme that bag.

Gimme that or I'll shoot you.

Chimman move..

Start the car..

What did I say for the motor?

I told you it was a stupid idea.

Move it, Chimman.

Hit the gas.

Chimman drive.

Why the hell don't you drive it then.

May I?

Take it..

My mother never fed me with as much love as you giving me this money..

What's the catch, boss?

Let's go.

Is this place all yours?

I bought it so that I can rebuild it into something else.

Do you rent it from Bombay Electric?

You must be some big shot.

Do you want to become one'?

Yup.

Then we must begin with giving you a new name..

JOHNNY.

Like it?

I knew you had it in you the moment I saw you in the bank..

I knew you'll be of good use.

I've been used good, all my life..

And my mother used me the best..

What do you mean?

I don't remember the woman I was born to..

For me, the one who picked me up from the streets"

and brought me to Bombay was always my mother..

All my life I tried to be her son..

But she used me only as an errand boy, sometime to hustle her..

A coolie..

Also a coolie..

Then she took away all my gold and disappeared on me.

Every time I wanted something..

I was told.. I am not worthy of it.

Chimman echoed the sentiment..

That's when I decided I've gotta change my worth..

You can use me, all you want..

But we gotta be partners.
