Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai

'I am this cinema.'

'I was born in 1895.'

'I couldn't speak when I was born.'

'I was silent.'

'Then I learned to speak. And sing as well.'

'I was black and white when I was born.'

'And I became coloured when I grew up.'

'Anyway, I don't wish to bore you by telling you my story.'

'Anyhow this is the story of a person who loves me..

..That is to say cinema. Amar Joshi.'

'Why did you keep it from me?'

'Should you keep it from me this way?'

'Everyone is crying and he is asleep.'

'That's Amar Joshi for you.'

'No matter what the film is like, he always watches!

'Sometimes like this and like this at other times.'

'Yes, this is London.'

'The Indians here are more fond of watching Hindi movies..

..Than the Indians in India.'

'Call it being away from the country identity crisis.'

'When the Indian audience cries in London's theaters..

..The producers sitting in Mumbai laugh a lot.'

'Before coming to London, Amar Joshi was in Banaras.'

'He's been watching movies since he couldn't even speak.'

'And when he learned to speak he'd leave for school..

..But he would return from the video parlour.'

You want to watch the movie. You don't have money.

Worthless chap! Get out of here!

Stop, stop, brother. Stop.

'When he grew older he opened his own video library.'

'English, French, Japanese, Chinese, Korean..

..He watched all movies.'

'In all these movies..'

Have you lost your mind!

You watched a few films..

..And you imagine you are Raj Kapoor.

You want to make a film. What do you know about film making?

What do you know?

Father, that's why I want to join London school of film making.

London? Are you planning on selling the house so you can go?

What good is my jewellery? - Keep your mouth shut!

You are the one who has spoiled him.

The son only wants to go so he can study, right?

To study? People his age have school going children..

..And he wants to go to study. And London of all places.

There is no age limit for making films, father.

There is no age limit to go insane either, son.

People are right when they say if you have a vendetta with someone..

..Either you lure him into a court case..

..Or drive your older son into films. He wants to make a film!

'The argument went on so long..

..Amar Joshi sold his library..

..And decided to go to London school of film making.'

'And he vowed never to return until he makes a film.'

'He works here at night so he can afford his tuition in the day.'

Hi, Amar!

'Amar thought of cinema while eating, drinking and even sleeping.'

'This is the case of a female reporter Indu Verma..

..Who was raped two years ago.'

'Amar wants to make his first film on this story.'

Amar, Amar, Amar! - What, what, what?

You got the best film director award.

The best director of the year. - I did?

Whoa! - Hey, great work!

So when are you doing it here?

Over here? No, no, no, no. I'll make my first film in India.

Have you gone insane? - Why insane?

It is an Indian subject so I have to make it in India.

What are you saying? - I've heard it is very tough over there.

It is tough but.. You guys know Suraj, no?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Suraj Pandey. - He's very connected in Bollywood.

Hopefully I will get a chance quickly.

'If his dream is fulfilled..

..Very soon in the Indian theaters Amar's scream..

..Sorry, Indu Verma's screams will be heard.'

Hello.

Hello, I.. I.. Hello, is Suraj there?

Sir is in a meeting. Who is this?

Oh, he's in a meeting

Okay, please inform him Amar Joshi called from London.

Amar?!

Suraj? - How are you?

I am good. How are you?

Work is good. The shooting is on day and night.

Listen, I am coming to Mumbai the day after tomorrow.

Why don't you just arrive at home?

You get swayed by Tina. She is a liar.

I was only looking at her hand. I wasn't doing anything else.

Excuse me. Where will I find Mr. Suraj Pandey?

You don't trust me?

Excuse me. - You always doubt me.

Excuse me, Mr. Suraj Pandey.. - Shut up!

Not you. You.. I am losing my mind.

Listen to me. We shall discuss this later.

Brother, where can I find Suraj?

It's been twenty-five episodes. I haven't got one line to say.

They just get us into a queue at all times.

Excuse me, where can I find Mr. Suraj Pandey?

Where will I get Suraj Pandey?

You will find him inside. He's got a line to say today. Go in.

Come on, throw a card.

Say hail Sri Ram!

Lord, the task has begun.

What task?

The ocean has begun.

Cut it! One more.

Hail Sri Ram! Hail Sri Ram!

Hail Sri Ram! Hail Sri Ram!

Lord, it's done.

The task of building the bridge on the ocean.

Yes. The task of cre.. - Cut!

Ravi! - Yes sir.

Tell him the dialogue properly.

What's the matter? - What is this?

What are you doing?

The task of building the bridge on the ocean.

The task of building the bridge.. - You won't be able to do it.

Sorry, sorry. One last chance. - One second.

I'm very sorry, sir.

I said Sati by mistake.

Ravi, you want me to come and say the dialogue?!

Cut it!

Lord!

Lord, it's happened. - What has happened?

I got a headache.

Get someone else to say this line.

Ravi! Come here!

Where did you find him?

He does not know to say the dialogue.

The monkey can say it better.

Go bring a monkey that can say the dialogue.

Suraj?

Amar?

You said you're shooting with star.. - Listen.

Listen. Listen to me.

Let's go from here. Come on.

Where are we going?

Apparently you dropped the bags and came here directly.

I did not recognize you.

The glasses and moustache has vanished.

Never mind me. Look at you. I did not recognize you.

This is make-up. It will come off when the shooting is over.

Couldn't you find another role?

Plenty. But I am deliberately doing this role.

What do you mean? - What I mean..

Look brother, this is show business. Whatever is visible is sale-able.

But his price factor is decided by where he is visible.

No, no. What are you saying?

I am telling you that the actor who is visible on television..

..Is not sale-able in films.

And I want to be visible in films.

That's why it is essential my face is fresh.

And staying in Mumbai is essential to sell in films.

And one has to have money to stay.

Hence I'm selling on television without showing my face.

Just for survey.

Not survey. Survival. - Yes, yes.

Your English hasn't improved as yet. - No, no.

It's all addiction.

Not addiction. It is dedication. - Exactly.

Why are you saying this in front of everyone?

So why do you try to speak in English?

I can speak but I can't follow that..

"Because you know you has so much..

Hello. - Yes.

You want me to send you an invitation card? - No.

My friend has come. This is.. Look, this is Amar.

Are you here on a picnic? Come on inside quickly.

Coming. Coming, coming.

They get one line and.. - Coming, coming!

You treat these bearded assistants well in the beginning..

..They start to hurt you.

I'll be back shortly. - Yes, go, go

Go do your shot.

Get the shot ready. I'm coming.

You sit here.

What you looking for?

Not for. At, at. - Yes, exactly.

India's next superstar. Suraj Pandey.

What are you saying? Bless you.

Come on. Let's go.

For which film were they shooting, sir?

It wasn't a film. It was a shot for a serial.

But you look like a film hero.

Yes, I am discussing a film too. Want to be a hero finally.

He will, he will. Your boss will surely become a hero.

What boss? Look in front, you idiot!

Relax, Suraj. - He should think before speaking.

Come in.

Made me crazy

This is my mansion.

Govinda. Chichi.

Good photographs. - Bobby Deol. Bobs.

Mr. Bachchan. Dingy!

Oh God! - Mind blowing!

Shahrukh Khan. SRK.

Bebo. Kareena. - Yes, yes.

What yes, yes?

Who does not know her? But does she know you?

Yes, she..
