Dolly! Give that to me

Give me that envelope

What are you doing? - l say, stop

Aunt, will you tell her? - Come on, give it to her

This girl is a devil. Why don't you rein her in?

Give me my specs, Meghna

Only an hour to go for the show - Not to worry

Your aunt won't be singing

Are you ready? - l'm ready, Daddy

Why aren't you dressed? - l'm not going. l have a headache

Why this sudden headache? - What a question

Just happened. - l know. Sujit will be calling

You know everything

What you're missing isn't something trivial

A million beauties makes the world

The naughty ones, the naughty ones, it's a world of a million beauties

But my queen of hearts is a Hindustani damsel

Oh for someone who'll be madly in love with me for a lifetime...

someone who won't even know another soul...

someone to do my bidding, someone to stand by me...

a fellow-traveler who never forgets me walks alongside, come what may

ls there someone...?

someone in this world of a million beauties?

Paint east and west in the colours of lndia

North and south, listen to lndia

The green is nature's lush

The red is the rising sun's

lt's a simple life, in colour white

But a million different beauties makes the world

The naughty ones, the naughty ones, it's a world of a million beauties

But my queen of hearts will be a Hindustani damsel

Just received your card. Had it come a day late...

l'd never know about your call. l was about to go out

Yes, exams over. Went fine

Leaving, after a week

l'll call you before l set out

My uncle and aunt are visiting lndia too

Where are they? - After our programme...

who's going to watch them? For a while they'll perform on railway platforms

Get it

Hi Uncle! He's right here. One minute

Your girlfriend's Dad. Uma should be with him

Yes Mr Sony. Programme went fine. Great ovations

l'll call you before l leave. May l speak to Uma?

No, l'm not drinking. No girls showed up at the show

l stay away from girls, trust me. l'm a celibate, and you know that

Ummi, get these things off your mind. Promise! l'm no casanova

Now put the phone down

Watches over you like a police dog before the marriage. Afterwards...

you're going to be a prisoner. - Her father is at the controls

You're done for. Take care, dear. - Shut up! l don't mind it...

when you talk about me. But not a word about Mr Sony

He's the reason why l am where l've reached today

After my parents died, he reared me like a son. Were it not for him...

l'd be out on the streets, a vagabond. - Sorry Shashi, for my remarks

When are you marrying Uma? - Whenever she says

l've been waiting since l was a kid, waiting for the auspicious date

Whose letter? - Mr P.K. Sharma, inviting us...

to a party tomorrow. Do we go? - Sure

Meghna! lt's Shashi! Come on!

You know something? Some fool said, there are 7 wonders. You're the eighth

Your show yesterday was great

You know something? Some fool said, there are 7 wonders. You're the eighth

l hate seeing a lonesome girl. You know something?

Some fool said there are 7 wonders. - l'll be the eighth, no?

l'll say that's a lie

Met my cousin? - Your cousin?

Yes, cousin Meghna regrets having missed your performance yesterday

Really Meghna? l could sing a special number for you

Want an autograph?

Dolly, let me know if you have another cousin. Don't forget

Must you talk like that? Such a famous singer walks up to talk to you

You should consider yourself lucky! - Posturing for innocents like you

l think he's an idiot. l hate guys like him

Are you ridiculing us? - Are you worth that? Get lost

Just because our show flopped?

Why drink more than you can handle? - Who are you to ask me?

Among strangers, show some self-respect

Let's not get into a fight. Let's not give ourselves a bad name

Bigtime singer? l'll fix you sometime. - Get lost

See you in Madras

Please don't mind, sir. They're drunk

Tickets to Singapore. You'll receive the cruise tickets in Singapore

What kind of a surprise is this? - No surprise

We're flying to Singapore. - Then a train...?

Not train. We're taking a luxury liner to lndia

ln Singapore, you shop for international labels

Must you make me walk for buying lndian dresses in Singapore?

The ones here are special. Uma will love them

She'll love the idea of an lndian dress from Singapore

Right colour? - Shit

You? Here in Singapore, all the way from Los Angeles for my autograph?

Hey Tingu, here's our Meghna! - What's our? Say Miss Meghna

Ms Dolly, how come you're in Singapore? - Stopover, on our way to lndia

You needn't say all that. Come on

Why are you so angry? Dolly, where are you staying?

Hotel star lnternational. - We're staying there too

Your room number? - You've said enough

Ms Meghna, our Tingu wants to buy an lndian dress for his girlfriend

We don't have a lady on the team. Can you select one for me?

Can you select one for me, Meghna? - My tastes aren't as cheap as yours

Find someone else. - Your taste is high-class?

Our tastes, cheap-class!

For you

Awful taste!

What's up? - What's this?

And these...? - Bracelets, don't you see?

Whose is this? - Yes! You met Meghna, didn't you?

You must've picked up her bag. - And where's my bag?

There's an lndian dress in this. - Not your bag?

No

Beautiful

You might've switched bags. This might be Shashi Kumar's

Awful dress! Awful taste! We must get our bag back

They're staying here. Find the room number

Exchange the bags. - Please come along, dear cousin

Why did you stop? Come on. - Why don't you go on?

Strange moodswings

Look, Dolly is here

You got my bag?

Nice dress. - You liked it?

Meghna didn't like it. - Why...?

No idea. She just said you got awful taste

Dolly! Shut up!

You don't like my choice? - l don't

How could you? - And...

Your tastes are high-class! Our tastes are cheap-class!

What if you wear this in Singapore? - Everyone runs away to China

ls this menswear? - Not even a beast will wear that

What if you gave it to ajoker? - He'll use it to hang himself

Dolly, you must tell your cousin

Hey Dolly! Let's get out of here

My thanks to anyone who wears that tie

Just like a five star hotel. - l never imagined a ship so huge!

lt's so huge, so heavy! Will it sink? - There's a whole crew taking care...

of the ship's safety. Nothing will happen

Hi Pretty! - Move it

l imagined it'd be like the ones they show in films. But this is like a city

This isn't a ship. This is a cruise liner

lf it capsizes, l can swim it to Madras

What a sight! Look, over there...

Wonderful!

Lovely ebony! Let me look at my black beauty

What a pretty black! l'm a goner!

They're cannibals. Try romancing and she might eat you like chicken

Look, over there

You're singing on this ship? - For you, l will. Where's Daddy?

Why are you pursuing me?

At the party in Los Angeles, shopping in Singapore. Now on this cruise liner?

Why should l pursue you?

Autograph?

Autographed photograph! Hey Tingu

Pretty...

you came to this world for me

l'm waiting for you

Blue seas in your eyes

Your lips, pink blossoms...

spreading a fragrance

Your tresses like dark clouds

Lovely eyes...

that open to a new dawn

Someone took time crafting you

One look at you, and my heart is yours

What a way with words...

words that take my heart away

A million fireflies are dying for me

But l'm mad about you

Ever since l saw you... - My heart has been throbbing

Let hearts throb together. - Let's breathe in rhythm with you

So many cards from Sujit! Hey, l never saw this one. What's written in it?

You don't read my personal letters! Give that to me

Not before l've read it

Give that to me! - l won't

Stop l say! Dolly, please!

Meghna! You can't catch me

Waiting for you, a thousand nights

Don't tear up that card! Sujit will be hurt

You read it? - l'm literate

Sujit is a nice name. But bad handwriting

She wants to use it like a dog-collar on Sujit? Who's this Sujit, Dolly?

lf you tell him... - Speak

l'm not telling him anything like you're marrying Sujit in two months

He's your fiance?

Why get worked up? Surely a nice match? Meghna-Sujit. Short names are wonderful

Commenting about others' affairs is bad manners

No comments. You're a nice girl

So what if he has bad handwriting? Sujit is surely decent?

Make sure you tell him to wear that tie at the wedding reception

Dolly, you remember what l said? You won't speak to anyone about Sujit

Look

Shashi, in this tie, am l handsome? - Smarter than Sujit

They're here to tease you. - Open your mouth and l'll fork you

Must l wear this tie? - Girls nowadays prefer boys in ties

But mine is no match for Singapore ties. - Correct. But got to make do

That tie is unique. The lucky man who gets to wear that tie is one Sujit

With Meghna... - He's in love

A thousand nights... - He has waited

Blind? Or don't you have common sense? - How would l know you're a mermaid?

You're stalking me. - Are you such a beauty?

l needn't wait for anyone for a thousand nights. Sujit might
