KIRAN
Hi Anil. It is Kiran.
ANIL
Hi Kiran. Kaisi ho tum?
Romantic music plays. Kiran talks to Anil inside music. They go out after practice. Then he drops her to her apartment. Kiran starts meeting Anil “coincidentally” everywhere. They meet in a restaurant, in a loo, at a parking lot. Once at swimming pool where she is wearing bikini and turns her sex appeal on. Sensual music plays. Kiran hugs, kisses and caresses him. They depart. Kiran meets the suspense woman and shows her some photos and maps.
CUT-TO:
INT. DAY - STEVENS’S OFFICE
Stevens is sipping tea. Unrecognized woman walks in. We cannot see her face. Her voice is unrecognizable.
STEVENS
(ushering her towards chair.)
Andar aaiye.
(she walks in and sits.)
STEVENS
Chaay lengi aap?
UNRECOGNIZED WOMAN
(very seriously.)
Main duty par chaay nahi piti.
STEVENS
To coffee to piti hongi?
UNRECOGNIZED WOMAN
Ji nahi. Dudh tak nahi.
STEVENS
(laughing.)
Ok. Kahiye aap mere liye kya khush khabari layi hai?
UNRECOGNIZED WOMAN
Aap ka kaam ho gaya hai.
STEVENS
Waah! Bahot achhe! Aap ko koi pareshani to nahi hui na?
UNRECOGNIZED WOMAN
Main to khud hi ek pareshani hoon. Mujhe kya pareshani ho sakati hai bhala?
Woman laughs. Stevens laughs with her.
STEVENS
Aap ne khub kaha.
UNRECOGNIZED WOMAN
(giving him files.)
Isame woh sari janakari hai jo aap ko chahiye.
STEVENS
(reading files.)
Thank you.
Phones someone and says
Hello. Aap ko jo briefcase diya tha woh andar le aao.
Guy comes in with briefcase and puts it on table. Stevens hands her briefcase.
UNRECOGNIZED WOMAN
Thank you.
She opens briefcase and sees money. We see her face for the first time. Unrecognized woman is Anita, Chief of Women’s Cricket Association. BG sound plays: ”Anitaaah! Ohh No!” Anita shuts the briefcase.
ANITA
Thik hai to ab main chalati hoon. Koi aur kaam ho to mujh se phir kahiyega.
STEVENS
Zarur kahunga. Thank you miss Anita.
ANITA
Ok Mr Stevens. Have a nice day.
STEVENS
Have a nice day Miss Anita.
She walks out. Background sound plays: “Oh No! Anitaaah!”
EXT. DAY - ROAD
Sanjit is going somewhere in car with Aarati.
AARATI
Sanjit tumhara yeh niyamo ka natak aur kitane dino tak chalane wala hai?
SANJIT
Bas ek hafta aur. Usake baad hum azad panchhiyo ki tarah (Spreading arms.) khule aasman ki sair karenge darling. (Almost loses control of steering wheel and it scares him) Oh shit! (gains back control over the wheel and turns car in right direction.)
AARATI
(angrily.)
Sanjit you...pahele zamin ki sair karana to sikh lo.
Sanjit laughs.
AARATI
Upar se has rahe ho?
SANJIT
I am sorry darling. Now relax!
Sanjit whistles and looks out of window. Sees coach Singh’s car.
SANJIT
(to self)
Oh no. Yeh to coach ki car hai. Yeh buddha yahan kya kar raha hai?
AARATI
(worried.)
Coach? Usane hume dekh liya to?
SANJIT
To mujhe (cupping hands.) catch kar lega. (Again loses control of car.) Shit!
AARATI
Sanjit you jackass! Shayad kisi na kisi tarah aaj meri maut hone wali hai.
SANJIT
(gains back control and looking in front.)
Abhi tak to nahi hui hai na?
Aarati stares in anger.
AARATI
To kya hone tak intezar karoon?
IN COACH’S CAR
Coach sees Sanjit’s car.
COACH
(thinking.)
Are yeh to Sanjit ki car hai.
(honks.)
Sanjit turns around and looks behind at the coach’s car and speeds his car. Sound of whirring engine scares one cyclist riding close to him. Cyclist falls. Coach does not notice him.
AARATI
(angrily.)
Sanjit! Yeh kya kar rahe ho?
SANJIT
Maine kya kiya?
Sanjit turns in a street. Now Sanjit and Coach cannot see each other’s cars. Coach’s car turns in same street. Sunil sees coach’s car in rear view mirror. He races car and crashes in one street vendor’s cart.
SANJIT
(shouts.)
Oh shit!
AARATI
(screams in fear.)
Aaaaaaaah!
Vendor’s cart rolls. Vendor falls on bonnet of car and his hand goes on wiper. He holds onto wiper and curses Sanjit.
VENDOR ON BONNET
Andhe kahin ke. Mera dhanda chaupat kar diya. Yeh sadak tere baap ki nahi hai.
AARATI
(to Sanjit.)
Sanjit gadi roko!
Sanjit puts on brakes. It throws vendor off balance and he flies off the bonnet. Funny BG music plays. Vendor falls on his own cart. Sanjit speeds up again. Vendor gets up and hurls stones on Sanjit’s car. Sanjit speeds more and gets away from vendor.
AARATI
Sanjit maine kaha gadi roko!
Behind them- Coach is trying to find way out of destruction. Sanjit is turning his car and speeds and dodges many cars. Drivers and pedestrians hurl insults at Sanjit.
AT SAME TIME - IN COACH’S CAR
COACH
(thinking.)
Sanjit ki car nahi dikh rahi hai. Abhi abhi to yahi thi.
AT SAME TIME - IN SANJIT’S CAR
AARATI
Sanjit gadi dhimi karo. Mujhe itani jaldi nahi marana hai?
SANJIT
Coach ne mujhe tumhare sath dekh liya to team se bahar kar denge Aarati. Aisa karo tum seatbelt bandh lo. Main gadi aur tez kar raha hoon.
AARATI
(wearing seatbelt and saying irritably.)
Kya? Bahar karate hain to karane do. Duniya se bahar jane se to achha hai.
Sanjit helps Aarati with seatbelt and says.
SANJIT
Please is wakt mujh se bahas mat karo Aarati.
Sanjit loses control over car and ends up pushing two cars off-road. Cars slide, jump and roll.
AARATI
(screaming and shouting.)
Aaaaaaaah! Yeh kya kar diya tumane? Mujhe bahot dar lag raha hai Sanjit. Abhi ke abhi gadi rok do!
SANJIT
(lovingly.)
Dear yahan par No Parking ki sign hai.
AARATI
(sternly.)
Abhi isi wakt gadi roko Sanjit!
SANJIT
(looking behind and saying loudly.)
Nahi rok sakata. Dat kar baitho.
Coach crashes in crashed cars and stops.
COACH
(angrily.)
Tch tch tch. Shayad yahan par bahot bada hadasa hua hai. Malum nahi subah subah kis ka munh dekha tha jo yeh din dekhana pad raha hai.
People from crashed cars are moaning. Passers-by help them get out of cars. Coach starts his car again. Car doesn’t start.
COACH
(to car.)
Jaldi se shuru ho ja. Hume bahot door jana hai.
People from other cars shout for help. Coach looks away from them.
COACH
(to car.)
Jaldi jaldi jaldi!
Car starts.
COACH
Baal baal bach gaya. Yeh jagah thik nahi hai. Mere sath koi hadasa ho usase pahele yahan se chalata hoon.
Drives.
AT SAME TIME - IN SUNIL’S CAR
Aarati opens door of car.
SANJIT
Yeh kya kar rahi ho Aarati? Car ab bhi chal rahi hai.
AARATI
Aur mere tin ginane tak nahi roki to main car se kud jaungi.
SANJIT
Aisa nahi karo Aarati. Please darwaza band kar do. Itani bhi kya jaldi hai marane ki? Aur phir hume kuchh hua to nahi hai na?
AARATI
To kuchh hone ka intezar kar rahe ho kya? Gadi roko.
AT SAME TIME - IN COACH'S CAR
COACH
(looking in front and hearing screeching cars.)
Shayad kisi ka brake fail ho gaya hai. Sanjit ko batata hoon. Bechara kahin koi accident me na fas jaye.
Coach dials Sanjit’s number on cell phone.
AT SAME TIME - IN SANJIT’S CAR
AARATI
Tumane suna nahi maine kya kaha?
SANJIT
Thik hai thik hai. Rokata hoon.
Aarati lets go of door and sits back easy. Sanjit continues.
SANJIT
Lekin parking spot milane ke baad.
Sanjit discreetly speeds more. It scares Aarati and throws her back in her seat.
AARATI
Sanjit you ass****.
Sanjit’s phone rings.
SANJIT
Phone ko bhi isi wakt bajana tha. Please dekho kaun hai.
AARATI
Yamadut hoga. Khud hi baat kar lo.
Sanjit looks at phone once and then hurriedly looks in front and sees a woman pushing a baby in baby stroller. He can’t stop. Woman runs away. Sanjit crashes in stroller. Stroller goes tossing in air. Aarati screams, shuts eyes and cries.
AARATI
Yeh kya kar diya tumane? Bachhe ko...
Sanjit and Aarati look behind and see some grocery flying from the stroller. The woman is cursing them. Both feel relieved.
AARATI
Thank god! Mujhe laga anadar bachha tha.
SANJIT
Mujhe bhi. Baal baal bach gaye.
They look in front. There’s traffic ahead.
AARATI
Ab to rokoge na ki uda kar le jane ki soch rahe ho?
SANJIT
Kash aisa karana mumakin hota.
Sanjit puts on brakes but there are cars in front of their car. Their car is going fast and straight at cars in front. Sanjit presses brake pedal with all his might and both shut their eyes in fear.
AARATI
(Opening her eyes again, shouting sarcastically and speaking very fast.)
Great! Sanjit hum marane ja rahe hain. Meri aakhari ichha sun lo. Main tum se gatth-chhutan karana chahati hoon. Yani ki divorce divorce divorce. (Looking in front of the car.) Ab hum marate hain. Pati-patni nahi, do ajanabiyo ki tarah.
SANJIT
(speaking as fast)
You are overreacting Aarati. Hume kuchh nahi hoga. Aakhir main ek team ka captain hoon.
Sanjit applies more pressure on brakes. It makes Huge screeching sound. Aarati is saying something but notices the sudden change.
AARATI
Captain ho ya shaptain...(sees cars in front of them getting very close and screams.) Aaaaahhh! Goodbye Sanjit. (shuts eyes.)
Their car stops just some inches away from other cars. Aarti opens her eyes and is happy to have survived.
CUT-TO:
Aarati steps out of car. Sanjit follows him.
AARATI
(walking away from Sanjit)
It’s over Sanjit. Aaj ke baad main tum se kabhi bhi milana nahi chahati hoon na hi car me tumhare sath ‘suffer’ karana chahati hoon.
SANJIT
Aarati you are overreacting. Please understand. Mere career ka sawal tha.
AARATI
Ek competition me nahi khelane se kya fark pad jayega?
SANJIT
Aarati world cup har saal nahi hota hai. I said I’m sorry.
Both walk and turn in a street. In coach’s car- coach is still trying Sanjit’s phone number.
COACH
So raha hai kya?
EXT. DAY – STREET
Sunil is walking on a street and talking on his cellphone. His guards Bhima and Shera are waiting for him in his car. Vishakha is coming from the other side and sees Sunil.
BHIMA
(looking towards Sunil.)
Kab se baat kar raha hai.
SHERA
Haan. Kam se kam pandarah minute to ho gaye honge.
BHIMA
Puchh to kisaka phone hai?
SHERA
Mujhe kuchh nahi puchhana hai. Tujhe puchhana ho to puchh le.
BHIMA
Main isaliye kahe raha hoon ki shayad kisi ladaki ka ho sakata hai.
SHERA
To hone de. Itani sakhti bhi achhi nahi hai. Kahin mujhe naukari se haath na dhone pade.
BHIMA
Thik kahe raha hai. Inhe kya fark padata hai? Aaj niyam palenge to kal apani jhadenge.
SHERA
Vaise bhi yeh niyam-viyam meri samajh se bahar hai. Aise niyam bana kar sab ka wakt barbad karate hain yeh log. Ladkiyo se bhi kabhi koi door rahe sakata hai bhala?
Vishakha is coming closer.
VISHAKHA
(going towards Sunil.)
Hi Sunil! Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho?
Sunil is busy talking on the phone and doesn’t even look at her.
SHERA
Kya kaha tha maine? (pointing at Sunil and Vishakha.) Wo dekh.
Both watch them. Vishakha is still trying to get Sunil's attention.
VISHAKHA
Hey Sunil!
Sunil sees her and looks at guards. Then pretends as if he didn’t see her.
VISHAKHA
(waving.)
Sunil! Andhe ho gaye ho kya?
Sunil walks in opposite direction. Vishakha follows him. Sunil turns back. Vishakha turns back too. Sunil continues talking on phone.
SUNIL
(on phone.)
Hello? Hello? Aawaz nahi aa rahi hai.
Moves away from Vishakha. She is following closely.
SUNIL
(on phone.)
Shayad signal kharab hai. Zor se bolo.
Vishakha stands in front of him. Sunil bumps in her. Vishakha falls down. Sunil crosses over her feet and walks. Vishakha is shocked. Sunil is going towards his car.
VISHAKHA
(getting up.)
Sunil! Sunil! Main hoon. Vishakha!
SUNIL
(on phone.)
Yahan par bheed bhi bahot hai. Abhi abhi koi gir pada hai.
Vishakha is wiping her t-shirt from behind. Sunil looks at Vishakha's back and sits in car.
SUNIL
(to driver.)
Chalo.
Sunil looks behind. Vishakha is running now. He turns his sight in front and talks on phone.
Main tum se thodi der baad me baat karata hoon. Bye.
Car goes.
VISHAKHA
(thinking.)
Mujhe dekha tak nahi.
NIGHT - NIGHTCLUB
Vijay and Anil are joking with girls at bar.
VIJAY
(to girl in his arms.)
Aur phir maine aisi sixer mari ki gend Bombay se Delhi pahoch gayi. Agale din wahan ke governor ne courier se wapas bheji thi.
(girls laugh. Vijay laughs too.)
GIRL
Phir kya hua tha?
ANIL
(to girl he is holding.)
Phir hume Bombay se Delhi tak ka kiraya dena pada.
All laugh again. Just then Shabbir and Rana enter club. Vijay sees them and lets girl out of his arms.
VIJAY
(to all.)
Excuse me guys. I’ll be right back. (whispering to Anil.) Tu bhi chal. (looking at guards.) Yahan thodi problem ho sakati hai.
Anil sees guards and gets up.
ANIL
Problem to ho gayi hai. (to girls.) Kisi ko hamare baare me kuchh nahi batana nahi to tumase katti kar dunga!
GIRLS
(laughs.)
Ok baba. Kuchh nahi batayenge.
ANIL
(lingering for a second.)
Bye honey.
VIJAY
Majanu ki aulad chal yahan se.
ANIL
(looking back at girls.)
Bye!
GIRLS
Byeeeeee!
Both walk away fast from guards and mingle in dancing crowd. Guards stand at bar and order drinks. Anil and Vijay dance and hide in crowd. Guards drink and walk toward dance floor.
VIJAY
Yeh log to yahi aa rahe hain.
ANIL
To aane de.
Two girls named Shiba and Vibha walk towards Vijay and Anil.
GIRLS
Hi guys. Kya aap wohi famous cricketers ho?
GUYS
Haan. To?
GIRLS
Wow! Wanna dance?
VIJAY
(seeing guards approaching.)
No thanks.
SHIBA
(looking at Vibha.)
What? (Laughing and asking Vijay.) No?
VIBHA
(to Vijay.)
Why not?
SHIBA
Kya aap log kisi ka intezar kar rahe ho?
Anil pulls Vijay away from girls and both dance. Guys around them are watching them and laughing. Anil and Vijay are angry but finding guards near they avoid them. Girls follow them.
VIBHA
(to Vijay.)
Hi! Kya naam bataya aap ne?
VIJAY
Kis ka naam? Kaisa naam?
ANIL
Naam to bade logo ka hota hai.
Girls laugh. Anil and Vijay look for guards and find them dancing and looking around dance floor.
SHIBA
(laughing.)
You are so funny. Let’s dance.
Dances close to him.
VIJAY
(moving away from her.)
Yeh kya kar rahi ho?
VIBHA
(angrily.)
Kya matalab? Kya tumhe ladakiya nahi pasand hai? Hum to sirf dance karana chahate hain. (getting close to Anil.) Come on! Raat bhi jawan hai aur hum bhi.
ANIL
(jokingly.)
Dekhiye aap aisi bate nahi kijiye. Mujhe bahot gudagudi ho rahi hai.
Girls laugh.
SHIBA
Come on. Main achhe ghar ki ladaki hoon.
VIJAY
To tumhare achhe ghar me jao. Hume pareshan kyun kar rahi ho?
VIBHA
Chalo ab maan bhi jao.
ANIL
Nahi manata jao.
Vibha laughs. Anil shows fake anger.
ANIL
(to Vijay.)
Aaj yeh guards yahan nahi hote to dance to kya main aur bhi bahot kuchh kar leta.
SHIBA
Chalo Vibha. Mujhe lagata hai ki yeh log ek-dusare ko shayad kuchh zyada hi pasand karate hai. Hai na?
(laughs.)
VIBHA
(laughing.)
Shayad bahot pyar karate hai ek-dusare se.
Girls laugh and leave. People laugh at guys and make distance from them. Guys are embarrassed. Anil charges toward guards.
ANIL
In guards ki to main aisi ki taisi kar dunga.
VIJAY
Relax. Ladakiya to bahot milengi lekin team se bahar ho gaye to saare desh me hamari badanami ho jayegi.
ANIL
Thik hai. To ab kya kare?
VIJAY
Yahan se chalate hain.
Both leave. Dance music is playing in B.G. Guards are still looking for them. But can’t find them. They take a look around club and leave. Anil and Vijay come out from behind the door after guards have left. They go back to dance floor and join Shiba and Vibha.
VIJAY
(to Shiba.)
Hi girls. We are back.
SHIBA
Excuse me?
ANIL
(to Vibha.)
Hum laut aaye hain.
VIBHA
(elbowing Shiba and whispering.)
Are yeh wohi dono hai jinhone hamare sath dance karane se inkar kar diya tha.
SHIBA
Ohh!
(laughs.)
You make a good couple.
Vibha laughs.
VIJAY
Nahi nahi aap hume galat samajh rahi hain. Hum log...yani ki...gulli-danda nahi hain. Hum to aap ke sath dance karane aaye hain.
SHIBA
(laughs.)
Ohh I’m sorry lekin tumane zara der kar di. Hume dancing partners mil gaye hain.
Two strapping men appear dancing from behind the girls. They scare the guys. Funny music plays. Girls laugh. Vijay and Anil are disappointed. Just then the other two girls who were with them at the beginning come back. They see guys trying for other girls and leave in anger.
VIJAY
Oh no!
(to one of the girls who is leaving.)
Sweety! Hum tumhe hi ddhuddh rahe the.
ANIL
(to other girl.)
Garima suno to!
CUT-TO:
Vijay and Anil are dancing with each other. Crowd laughs. They search for other girls.
SUPERSCRIPTION– AUSTRALIA
CRICKET PLAYGROUND
Sanjit and his three friends are roaming streets of Australia. Background music plays. They see some girls. Guards stop them from going near girls. They avoid them and ask guards to buy soft drinks and after guards leave they talk to girls. When guards come back they hide. Then they go on playground and watch dirty pictures and MMSs of women. Coach comes. They pretend to be talking to someone on phone. Coach leaves. They continue watching MMSs. They practice with Australian team. Song ends. Players are waiting for team bus at playground. A foreign team arrives and throws cold stares at them. They stare back. Foreign team’s fans gather. Sanjit avoids foreigners and asks his team to calm down.
FOREIGN PLAYER
Here come the Indians who never let us lose.
Foreign team laughs.
ANIL
(acting like girl.)
Because it hurts your feeling so much!
Indians laugh.
AUSTRALIAN
Is that so? But everything hurts you. (showing fist.) And so will my punch!
(Australians laugh.)
ANIL
We are here to play. Not to fight.
FOREIGN PLAYER 2
Play what? Beat-me--quickly-I-wannabe-with-my-mamma?
VIJAY
No. I-wannabe-your-papa.
Indian team laughs.
FOREIGN PLAYER1
But my papa wants to be with your mamma.
Foreigners laugh.
SUNIL
But I am already here to be with your mamma.
FOREIGN PLAYER
(stepping out to fight.)
You bast***!
Captains from both teams stop them from fighting.
SANJIT
(to his team.)
Lado nahi. Hum yahan khelane aaye hain. Ladane nahi.
Indian players retreat.
FOREIGN CAPTAIN
(to his teammates.)
Stop fighting guys. Calm down. Bus is here. Get on the bus.
Two buses arrive. They get on the buses.
SANJIT
(coming out on alleyway and addressing all.)
Listen up everybody.
Bus is silent.
Humane ladai kar ke achha nahi kiya hai. Yaad rakho yeh unaka desh hai. Bal se nahi buddhi se kaam lo. Apana dimag shant rakho. Main is ladai se behad naraz hoon. Agali baar aisa nahi hona chahiye.
VIJAY
I’m sorry Sanjit. Galati meri hi thi. Mujhe unase is tarah baat nahi karani chahiye thi.
Vijay is disappointed. Others console him.
SANJIT
It’s ok Vijay. Galati hum sab ki thi. Point yeh hai ki agali baar aisa nahi hona chahiye. Now lighten up.
Coach enters in bus. All go back to their places. Bus leaves.
INT. EVENING - TEAM HOTEL
Team is going inside hotel. Sanjit is walking with Sunil, Vijay and Anil. They see Anita in hotel. Background music plays - “OH NO! ANITAAH!”
ANIL
(Sees Anita and looks at coach who is talking to a team member. Then asks Vijay.)
Are yeh to Anita hai. Yeh yahan kya kar rahi hai?
VIJAY
Haan. Chal usase baat karate hain.
SANJIT
(to both.)
Kya hua?
SUNIL
(pointing at Anita.)
Anita yahan aai hai. Yeh usiko dekh rahe hain.
SANJIT
(looking at Anita.)
Oh.
Vijay and Anil sneak out of crowd and go towards Anita.
SANJIT
(following Vijay and Anil.)
Vijay. Anil. Wahan nahi jao. Coach dekh lega.
Vijay and Anil don’t stop. Sanjit and Sunil follow them. Anita turns back to see Sanjit and Sunil and talks to them.
ANITA
Hi Sanjit. Hi Sunil. (to Vijay and Anil) Hi guys. What’s up?
SANJIT
Cricket’s up. What’s up with you?
ANITA
Dosto ke sath world cup dekhane aai hoon.
SUNIL
Oh. It's so good to see you here.
ANITA
All the best guys. Do well.
SANJIT
We will. Thanks.
She writes her name in entry book and takes keys of her room from receptionist.
ANITA
Alright guys. See you later. Bye.
ALL FOUR
Bye.
Anita walks. Four walk in other direction and join team. Coach notices them coming in group and then sees Anita going in hotel. Coach keeps looking suspiciously and then looks away.
ANITA’S ROOM
Anita is talking to her team of girls. She has spread a paper on table. It looks like map of some location. Then she turns to talk to her team of girls.
ANITA
Listen up girls. Yeh hai team ki hotel aur maidan ke maps. (Pointing at map.) Subah chhe baje team yahan se bahar jayegi aur sham paanch baje wapas lautegi. Tum sab janati ho tumhe kya karana hai.
