Mili

Mili has left today... I know she'll never return.

To play pranks and spread happiness and joy is what she liked most.

God knows how many people reside.

But Milt's voice and laughter will always echo in their ears.

It seems like yesterday, that children were playing...

awaiting Mili, so that on her return...

she goes to the terrace to resume her singing practice.

Mili is here!

Let's start our rehearsals! - Not me! Go find someone else!

Shall we start the rehearsal?

Do what pleases you! But please don't bother me.

What's wrong with her?

Come on... - What happened, my dear?

What is to happen? - Why aren't you laughing?

When I went to the college this morning...

I forgot to paste a smile on my lips!

I wonder what's happened to her. I've never seen Mili like this.

What's wrong...? What's up?

What's happened?

Hey! Why are you crying?

What's up with Mili? - I don't know. She doesn't speak.

Go and fetch someone from the building, Artie.

At least open the door... why are you crying?

Say something at least!

What! - Yes, they've called you there.

Is "Mili crying" ?!

What's up ? - Take a look. I can't figure out.

Something is fishy. Someone must surely have cast a spell.

Come with me!

Hey, Mili... what happened?

Oh no! I fear the worst!

The same thing happened to a relative of mine 4 years ago.

Her husband is a very big official at the Tat as.

When I went to their place once, they...

Brother! I don't know what's happened to Mili. She's crying!

Move aside... let me see.

Mili...my dear, what's wrong? Why are you crying?

Why aren't you answering me? - She's even locked the door.

Open the door, dear. Won't you open it?

Will you keep crying and cause me trouble?

What's wrong, dear? Aren't you keeping well?

Speak up! Why are you crying?

Hey! You're laughing!

What prank is this? - What happened?

How I fooled both of you! - Fooled us, eh?

I was working out an experiment, Babuji.

I found that nobody bothered about you, so long as you're fine!

And when you do become that little bit crooked...

like auntie said, "my dear, what's wrong?"

She said, "don't give me so much of trouble, my child"!

What's wrong, brother?

I know how to pretend, too!

"I said to the flowers..."

"I said to the flowers to be happy and flourish"

"The season has come to be happy"

"I said to the flowers to be happy and flourish"

"The season has come to be happy"

"I said to the flowers to be happy and flourish"

"The sun went away and everything looked dull"

"The sun went away and everything looked dull"

"The sun went away and everything looked dull"

"It took away all the beauty"

"I said..."

"I said to my dreams to make them come true"

"It's the season to make my dreams come true"

"I said to the flowers to be happy and flourish"

"I said to the flowers to be happy and flourish"

Brother! It's you ?!

How come? - Didn't you receive my telegram?

No! In fact, I've written a 6-page letter to you only today!

My efforts have been wasted. - Not at all.

Give me the letter. I'll go back and read it.

I've got to talk to you, Mili... who is he?

My brother. - He's won the Vir Chakra, right?

You guys in the military really enjoy yourselves!

A relative of mine is also in the army. On the Assam borders...

Are you going somewhere, auntie? - Oh yes!

To see "Bobby" for the 8th time! I'll meet my husband there!

You're late, in that case... - Oh yes! I must be moving!

You had a narrow escape, brother. - How is that?

Else, you'd have to listen to the tales of the mosquitoes...

that her relative faces on the borders in Assam.

There are mosquitoes in Colaba, too, where another of her relatives stays.

And about the flat, there's a lot of blah blah!

Goodness! You've really saved me. Let's go.

Have you arrived then?

I was told your train was late by an hour when I called the station.

When I got there, I found that the train had already left!

You knew about his arrival? Why didn't you tell me then?

Because you'd have forgotten college and gone to the station!

Who was that? - Milt's brother, who's in the army.

He's very handsome, isn't he?

They're all very handsome for you!

Step aside, brother... let's give her a surprise.

You please keep quiet. - I'll say nothing.

What's up? Hasn't Ranjit arrived? - I'll say nothing!

Even she knew about him! Only I wasn't told!

Bless you, son.

Please sit down, while I go and get some tea.

Come on, Mili... Ranijit's here only for a day.

Is that how it is?

Want to bet, Ranjit?...Mili will remain quiet for 3.30 minutes.

You have a bet, father. - Is it on, then?

Mili can't remain quiet for more than 2.30 minutes...

For how long did she keep quiet the last time?

It's a bet then. If she remains silent for 30 seconds...

you win a hundred rupees!

Now that she's quiet, let's talk business.

What new of your transfer? - There are hopes, father.

In that case, this flat will be too small.

But I have a friend who has a vacant flat at Colaba.

It has two bedrooms.

Do you want to say something? What ?

Oh! Webs of the spider!

Isn't the terrace-flat vacant, too?

There you are! She broke the record of 20 seconds in only 10!

Now that you've lost, let me have the 100 rupees.

I've won the bet and you want the money!

And who did you win it because of? Out with it now!

Stop tickling me! I'll give it to you.

I'm hosting a dinner this evening. Please do come.

I surely will. But what are you celebrating?

My brother has won the Vir Chakra and has arrived today.

I'll have to come in that case. But that's no big achievement...

My son has won the award, too.

The winner must be somebody's son. - That's true.

That was a very sensible thing Mili said. You'll have to admit.

You get on with your chat and I'll go invite people over.

Mili seems to be fine.

She seems to be fine, but her treatment is not getting over.

That will now always continue.

Can't we do something to cure her forever?

There's research going on. A cure can be found at anytime.

May God make it happen. - Don't worry, Father.

Come in, Ranjeet.

The door's open.

You haven't changed at all.

You even ring the bell in the same old manner.

One should always change a little with the times.

Or the times take offense.

Will you remain standing? Come along.

You've changed a lot with the times, Aruna.

Oh sure... I've changed a lot.

At times, it even becomes difficult to recognize myself.

How many days will you stay?

For another day, tomorrow. I'll return the day-after.

Why are you always in a hurry to return?

What will I achieve by staying back?

Before I forget, tell Mili that the terrace-flat has been sold.

And yes, I remember!

Why didn't you reply to my congratulatory message to you?

I did write letters...

but I didn't know how to begin and end the letters.

Should I still begin it with "My dear Aruna..."

And sign off with "yours, Ranjeet" ?

When I got the Vir Chakra...

I felt like writing a letter to the President...

to tell him that I had joined the army to die.

But then am I being considered to be among the living-beings?

Anyway, let's forget all that. Tell me about yourself. How are you?

I'm fine. - And how's Mr. Ra mesh?

Fine...he's very fine...

he has married a billionaire's daughter.

What's there to be surprised about?

What did I possess, after all? Only a body.

That girl possessed a body too, besides a bank-balance of crores.

Why? Why should you be sorry?

I've really gotten over him.

Can't life be begun again?

I'm no longer the same Runa.

Do you know why?

Ra mesh was very proud that he could attract girls with his flamboyance.

I thought, why should only men be entitled to do the trapping?

Can't women do it, too? I also started playing with men.

But I found that its very easy to lure men with your charms.

So easy that I got disgusted with it very soon.

And I realized one day that I had become hollow from within.

There's a problem. - What's wrong?

Mili said she had invited 8 people, but there are 12 outside.

That's no surprise. When Mili says 8, she actually means 16.

I've made provision for 16. - Have you? Great!

That smells great. Can I have some?

Where's your famous brother? - Brother!

This is my brother and this is Mr. Kulkarni.

Please come. Sit down.

That's eight, nine, ten...

.15, 16, 17 ... - What are you counting?

You said there were 8 guests, but there are 17!

I didn't invite five of them. They invited themselves!

But you invited 12, didn't you?

We'll have to cook accordingly, won't we?

Greetings! Welcome! Please take a seat.

There are 19, with more to come! I'll send someone to a hotel!

We will have to now. - Not necessary, auntie.

Put a lot of chilies in that vegetable you're preparing...

What are you saying! - Yes, Babuji

People will eat less, when it's very pungent.

Go look after the guests. - I'll send someone to a restaurant.

You're not accessible over the phone these days. What's up?

You're a public figure now. I'll have to meet you as one of them!
