Safari

'Everybody likes a good story.'

'There are countless books on the same.'

'Stories of kings and queens... Love stories.'

'Tales of bravery. Fairy tales.'

'But there's one story... which you must have not read anywhere.'

'My love story... Weaved with little memories.'

'A small toy boat made of wood.'

'A small mirror...that I always carried in my purse.'

'A video camera... And a cap decorated with tea leaves.'

'You'll find it hard to believe...'

'..but this all started with an ordinary door handle...'

'..which, by the way, was loose.'

Yes, 12:00pm.

No, not at 12:30pm. I'm busy at that time.

Yes, yes, we're sending the tender.

It's Rs.50 million. - No. At that hour..

..the people from the shipping company will be here to meet me.

I don't care. - It is not...

Good morning, Mummy. - Good morning.

I told you..

Yes, I'm certain we'll get the contract.

You have to increase it.

Every week one ship..

..has to go to Manjira Island. - Hello, ma'am.

Good morning, ma'am. - Hello, ma'am.

Yes.

What? - Good morning, ma'am.

Bhandari's creating problems?

Good morning, ma'am. - Then talk sense into him.

Give him some money. - Hello, ma'am.

Hello, ma'am.

Honest? There is no such man.

Hello, ma'am. - It's a ploy to hike up the amount.

Good morning, ma'am. - Find out how much he wants.

Every person has a price.

Why are you standing in the line?

And what's this you're wearing on your head?

You are always fooling around.

Come.

Daddy, why don't you talk to Bhandari? - Yes, sure.

He's your friend. - Yes, I'm on my way.

He'll surely listen to you. - Hello, ma'am.

Ask your mummy. What do you say, Asha?

Hello, boss. - Should I talk to Bhandari?

No need. I'll handle it.

Come on, Anjali, let's go. - Bye.

'My daddy and mummy. Mr. Ajit and Mrs. Asha Agarwal.'

'They are poles apart in their approach.'

'I always wondered about them.'

'How did two people...who don't share a common outlook or liking...'

'..ever fall in love?'

'My daddy was the chairman of Agarwal Industries.'

'And mummy was the managing director.'

'It was quite difficult to decide...what path to take to further the company.'

'Because if daddy pointed towards the east....'

'..mummy would point towards the west.'

'To avoid getting in this mess...'

'..daddy handed over the reins of the company..'

'..to mummy for two years.'

'It was a challenge for mummy.'

'She wanted to succeed at any cost.'

'And the key to that success was a small island in India, Manjira.'

No, no, no.

Don't show me the photographs of Manjira Island.

Take them away.

I'm fed up of listening to these stories.

Mr. Dikshit, I want to know the reality. Tell me what's happening there.

It's been six months since Johnson and Johnson went to that island.

And what did they do in these six months? - Nothing

Deforestation should've been completed by now - Yes.

The roads should've been constructed. - Yes.

The factory should've been set up by now. - Yes, yes.

Mr. Dikshit, order the tickets right away..

..and be there in Manjira by tomorrow.

One minute, Anjali... This is a very important job.

The will dictate the future of our company.

We need to send someone sensible for this job.

Shekhar.

No problem.

Assam, Ceylon, Darjeeling. Yes, Darjeeling.

Shekhar, you have to..

What are you doing? - I'm making tea.

Mummy is calling you. - Okay. Fine. No problem.

Oh, no. I'm making tea.

Mr. Shekhar Panchotia, couldn't you have said anything else?

Why do I always get so nervous in front of her?

My tablets. My tablets to ease tension.

What? Why are you laughing?

Yes, he's an interesting fellow. I like him very much.

Okay, Anjali.. - Enough, Mummy. I get it.

The same old story of marrying Shekhar.

What's the problem? We have a relation after all.

He's our business partner.

You know that both, your father and his father started this business.

So what if his daddy is no more?

Moreover he's handsome, too.

Mummy, Shekhar Panchotia. Mrs. Panchotia?

Exactly. And to make him my life partner...

..we should have something in common.

We have nothing in common.

Outlook, way of life or thoughts.

I want a partner... who's on a similar wavelength..

..has the same approach to life and likes the things that I do.

He should be different.

He should be an amazing person, Mummy.

I'll definitely meet him, somewhere.

Who knows, perhaps, he's right outside the door.

Did you call me? - Oh, Shekhar.

What happened, Shekhar? - Nothing, Mummy. He's making tea.

Smile. Smile.

Okay, Shekhar. Bye.

'Shekhar could not go. So I had to go...on a journey where I was lost. Forever.'

'In a very different world, with a very different person.'

I've reached Manjira.

I think there's no better place than this for our factory.

Here, there was so much of..

Mr. Johnson and Johnson, why is the factory's construction halted?

It's not our fault, ma'am. The people here are wrong.

Very wrong. Very wrong.

They hate the word 'factory'.

As if it's not a factory, but a disease. A disease.

Mr. Johnson and Johnson, this is my project. - Yes.

The factory will be set up. Do you understand?

Pay the islanders some more money.

That's the problem, ma'am. They don't want money. They are strange people.

Very strange. They're not interested in money.

I see.

Who is the leader here?

There is only one man who everybody listens to.

Captain Kishan. Their leader.

Then why waste time?

We'll go meet him. What did you say his name was? Captain Kishan?

But he's on a fasari. - Fasari?

Not fasari. It's safari.

Ma'am, a tour in the jungle is called a safari.

Yes, yes. Safari. He has gone in the jungle chasing a mad gorilla.

Very bad animal. - Yes.

It's very important to meet him.

We'll also go to the jungle.

Jungle? - Yes. Jungle. Right now...

At this moment.

There are only two ways of entering the jungle.

One is by Captain Kishan's boat.

And the other is Uncle D'silva's...flying chariot.

No. We want a plane. A plane.

A plane. A flying plane. - Oh, this is a plane.

This is the best plane in all of Manjira.

This? - Okay.

Yes. - This is the best?

Better than anyone else's? - Definitely.

Because this is the only plane in all of Manjira.

He stinks.

Girl?

She's my relative. A distant one.

One more girl.

She is her relative.

You know..

Uncle D'silva, I need your plane for two days.

What's the rent? - Why would I take rent from you?

Just arrange for my petrol for the next two days.

God be with you.

Take the aerial of the wireless on top.

Take the aerial of the radio on top.

Don't let go of the ladder, otherwise you'll be left alone.

Don't worry, brother. The world may turn upside down.

There could be an earthquake, but I will not leave the ladder.

I have reached. - Shut up.

Calling Uncle D'silva. Calling Uncle D'silva.

Can you hear me? Over.

Ma'am's call. - Come in. Can you hear me?

Don't leave the ladder. - Got you.

Ms. Agarwal, I can hear you. Over.

At this moment, I am passing over a river.

The moment I see Captain Kishan's boat...I'll land and try to meet him.

Over and out. - Roger. Over and out.

Uncle D'silva, I hope ma'am is not in any kind of danger.

Yes, I do hope so, too. - Johnson!

Danger? Here?

Manjira is heaven.

You'll find only one thing in food here, love.

He works for CBI, Gwana. He has come from Mumbai to Manjira Island.

He's here to find about the drug factories that we operate in the jungle.

Yes.

It's a good camera.

His camera is very good. Yashica.

Automatic focusing, power zoom, zoom-tech...zoom lens.

One can hide in the bushes and take pictures of far off places. Understood?

Yes. It's a Japanese camera.

By pressing this button...

..you can take good snaps without flash even in the dark.

Right? Your camera is very good.

You bastard!

Calling Uncle D'silva. I have come very far.

I still haven't found Captain Kishan's boat.

One minute.

There are a few huts and tents in the jungle.

Maybe, I'll find some people there.

I'll use the camera for a closer look.

Yes, I can see a few people.. - Oh, oh.

Hey, Johnson!
