Shanu.
My name?
Bua.
Only this much?
Shanu's name goes till far.
Your name is short.
Shanu...
Bua...
It is same.
But in English it is like this.
Let our name be in Marathi. It is good.
Keep some for mother too.
Fool, if mother asks who gave you these peanuts then what will you tell her?
Oh yes.
Let's see who can reach home first.
Yes, lets run
You...
Where were you?
Couldn't you tell me and leave?
Mother is still alive, right? Or has she died too?
Look up!
Shanu, Look up.
I had gone around the colony ten times.
I beg of you. I can't tolerate any more stress.
I am already too stressed.
Do you know what kind of thoughts cross mind?
You go to play on the road.
Fast cars ply over it.
If anything happens to you then?
Bua is young but you are grown up.
But you... What is down there? Look up.
And what is this?
There is dirt in your hair.
Where were you?
Your face has turned tan wandering in the sun.
Will anyone say that this boy had taken a bath this morning?
Brother Taj has already called ten times. Ten times!
Asking why he hasn't received his saris?
Go and deliver them fast.
Wait. why are you leaving when I am telling you to?
Don't you two feel hungry?
You both are loitering since morning.
Aren't you hungry?
Have your snacks and go.
Where is Bua? Bua.
Bua.

It is late now. Lets go.
Hari uncle. Why don't you go?
We will come shortly.
-Don't try any pranks. -Yes.
Look, hari uncle's Ganpati is so beautiful, red colored.
This is for today.
Yesterday's too. It was pending...
Yes.
-Take this for yesterday. -Okay.
Oh yes, the rickshaw requires some repair work.
If you don't get it repaired soon then it will get worse.
I can even drive papa's rickshaw.
But someone just has to start it for me.
But mam doesn't allow me.
What ill luck.
The oil needs to be changes.
Even the break pad is gone.
All this will at least cost a thousand.
Let's get it done in a month. Okay?
Besides that, there is the usual puncture, greasing, etc.
I don't even tell you about all that.
Yes, I know brother Hari. Give me atleast a week.
Just hurry up, otherwise the vehicle... will require more repairs...
No, yes...
-Okay -Yes.
Let's have food.
Engage them in work? Will these two work now?
What will they do?
They will do anything. In someone's house, office... what they say?
An errand boy.
What are you saying? Your kids are too young.
If they work then who will look after them there?
Then why don't you get them to work with you, there.
Where?
In the cinema.
What will they do in the cinema?
They can do anything.
Atleast you will look after them.
But if they loiter around then they will turn into hooligans.
They can also start stealing.
If they become pick pockets, then?
You will have to go to police station.
I wont be able to manage this all
Look Vaishnavi, in the movie business there is just one hero.
Everyone else is a laborer.
What will they do there?
They will also endanger your job too.
You have lost your mind.
You don't let me sleep.
Then go to sleep. Who has told you to prattle?
-Yes, you always scold me. -Go to sleep.
I am thinking about our family.
Quiet.
Look Vaishnavi, there is a huge problem for kids here.
The police gets involved its is called child labor.
So do the police feed the children whose fathers are dead?
Don't speak like this?
Then how do I talk?
I'm confused. You tell me.
Even I know.
Shanu Bua need to go to school.
Get educated. To play around, I know that.
But what can I do?
Troubles are just waiting outside the house.
It's been two months, I haven't paid the electricity bill yet.
I get a headache when that fan makes an irritating noise.
But can not repair it. Where is the money?
Brother Hari came... and asked for a thousand rupees for the rickshaw.
Thousand? Where will I get that from?
And I've to pay the installment for the rickshaw this month.
Now only god will tell me how it will be done?
It would have been better If I was infertile.
Then I would have committed suicide and attained peace.
Enough!
I am still there.
Something will definitely happen.
Definitely happen.
Wont your drink tea. Where is your cup?
No I wont.
Mama, one more loaf of bread and tea.
The last break soaked in all the tea.
Mama please give.
From tomorrow you will go to work with uncle Bali.
What? To work? What does that mean?
Means uncle will take you to work with him.
Where?
No matter where, I am not going anywhere to work.
Bua.
You go! You are elder. All elders go to work.
Young one stays home.
Our father used to go. Since mother was younger, she used to stay at home.
Right Mother?
Mother, one more loaf of break.
Take this.
We will have lots of fun there.
But there will be lots of work too.
Who will work? Uncle Bali.
You seem to be very excited.
Where are you preparing for?
For work. Uncle bali has got us some work... in films.
In films? So will you become Aamir Khan?
No! Priyanka Chopra. He likes her.
So you will become Priyanka?
Listen... show me how Brother Taj walks.
Have you gone crazy? If Brother Taj comes we will be thrashed.
Please do.
Come on, do. I will stand guard at the door.
Shanu mimics him well.
Hi.
He has come.
What are you planning against me?
Will you rob the shop?
Why don't you tell me, what has happened?
You wont speak. Okay don't tell.
But tell me, if you have got the saris or not?
How many are there?
As many as mother has sent.
Mother has sent. Did I say that your wife has sent?
Don't you know how to count?
You speak. How many are there?
I don't know?
Don't know.
But you do know how to mimic others, right
Who between the two of you mimics me better?
-Him him. -Him him.
You both are same.
And the elder one is shrewd. Rogue.
Hey listen... Listen...
Why are you grinning? Don't you have work to do?
Come on, take off the sari and open the blouse.
What are you staring at?
Take off that sari and blouse from the hanger.
Don't you have to stitch it?
Wonder how he interprets my sentences.
My dear daughter studies so much.
Look, what I have got for you?
Custard apple.
Get a plate...
your favorite.
-The plate? -I am getting it.
I found good ones in the market today.
You have got them after so many days.
What does Bua say regarding custard apple?
Yes. He says. If it is custard, where is the apple?
Crazy!
They are very naughty. Do one thing. Call them here.
Yes... yes.
Run.
Wait.
Take all this. Even their mother likes it.
Papa, shall I go?
No need.
This is yours... this is mine.
And the remaining will be eaten by your mother.
Shanu.
When will our father come back?
He has gone very far.
He doesn't have money to return.
Why did we eat peanuts? We should have saved money.
A lot of money is required for father to return.
His ticket is very expensive.
Bua.
Hey.
Sleep quietly.
Chattering the entire night! Gibe rest to your jaws.
Mama.
How was I born?
Mama, tell me.
I will tell you in the morning. Go to sleep now.
How was I born?
Put your hand.
And don't bother uncle Bali at all. Okay?
And listen to everyone.
Yes.
Right? What are you doing? You have grown up now.
Don't eat if anyone gives you anything.
First ask uncle Bali and then eat. Okay?
What are you doing, Bua?
I have told you so many times not to do this.
Why are you laughing?
Come on. The bus doesn't belong to my father.
Yes.
-Come on, Shanu. -Hurry.
Brother... feed them something on the way.
They haven't eaten anything.
-I will feed them only if we leave. -Yes fine.
Tell Tawde no to place his shirts here. See you.
Slowly.
-Did you go for potty? -Yes
-Sure. -Yes, yes.
Did mother cry again today?
No.
Do you know where we are going now?
Yes.
You must work hard there.
-Will you do work there? -Yes.
Have patience and let's go there.
Uncle. Puffed rice.
You want puffed rice now?
Lets go inside. I will get you some snacks.
You told mother that you would feed us.
I have also told your mother that I will slap you. Shall I?
Go ahead.
-Take this. -No.
Both of you eat this. I will come in two minutes.
All right? And sit here. Don't go anywhere.
What? 35 feet crane after lunch.
Will I pay from my pocket?
I am telling you what sir told me.
Now go and tell your sir that he will get stuff only as per the requirement.
Get lost.
Sharad, lunch should be served sharp at 1 o'clock.
If we delay even a little then everyone will bicker.
Sir Ganesh.
Yes, Bali. Come.
Have you fed snacks to all?
It is still going on.
-Sir I had told you about my nephews. -Yes.
The two of them are here now. Outside.
Then feed them too.
Please arrange something for them, sir.
Bali I have told you before that.
We cannot allow children to work in our sets.
-Didn't I tell you. -Yes.
Union problems, child labor issues.
Who will bother with them?
I will manage them all sir. I will stay here with them.
They need it badly. Their father has passed away.
Bali... Bali. A new film is going to start.
I will get your work done in a few days.
Mr. Chaudhary is going to start a new film.
Okay? Hundred percent.
Hey! Whom have you sent?
Does he even know the basic of lights?
He has wasted four hours.
Who will pay for that? Your father?
Don't bother me like this at the last moment.
Already the shooting is being done on a tight schedule.
Now come after one month.
Hang up now.
Take this. Stop their payment.
Get me red bull.
They have sucked my energy. Rascals!
All right sir. I am ready. Lets roll.
Okay sir.
Sir position correct?
-Perfect! -Yeah.
And going for a take. Silence please.
Clap it. Roll sound.
Rolling
Camera
Scene 3D shot 1 take 1. Clap.
Action.
Shanu do you know what they call it?
The black one? Camera.
Not that. The game they are playing.
I don't know about that.
But I have seen it on TV.
Beautiful. Cut.
Come on. Shift. Change the scene.
Shanu, it's a beautiful sport.
Thank you.
Sir tea.
Sir...
Don't you know that I don't drink tea?
-Get some lemonade. -I will just get it.
You are aware of this.
Glow, glow all around.
Superb, superb shot.
Am I his doctor to know that he doesn't drink tea?
Lemonade.
I served him because Ganesh sir told me to.
Now he is venting his anger of actors on me.
He can't say a word to actors.
Where are the lemons?
There are no lemons. What are you doing?
You have even spoiled the leftover lemonade.
Shanu don't you understand?
Now what will I serve him?
He is asking for lemonade.
Then serve this.
-This? -Yes.
You go and serve.
This will be done. Do that later.
First make arrangements.
After lunch, sir has a shot. After that we will do all this.
Sir, what I was saying, with age a little different...
Why are you repeating the same thing?
I told you it would be done.
Keep quiet. It will be done sir.
I am working very hard on it.
We will look over it... it will be done.
We will do it, sir.
Very tasty it is.
He is my nephew, sir.
Tell him what's your name.
Shanu.
Get one more.
Get one more, fast.
One second.
He lad.
What are you staring at?
Do you need anything?
You want this?
Ganesh. Do we have more of this?
We have lots, sir.
Art, get some shuttlecocks.
Take this. For you... happy, go.
Uncle Bali serves water in films.
And at home he makes Ishani serve him.
Should I tell Ishani?
And that bearded man was so funny.
He makes the film and watches simultaneously.
And the heroine was not able to play at all.
She was messing up repeatedly.
She was running all around.
Do you know? I want to play that game.
You know, even I want. But how?
And we don't need anyone else to play with us either.
Where will we get the net?
Shall I speak to aunt Poonam?
The fisherwoman.
She uses a net to catch fish.
Ishani.
See this.
Goodness. Who gave this to you?
Someone has given it to us. Guess who?
It was given to use by...
Shut up idiot. Let her guess.
Tell me, who has given it to you?
Shreyas Talpade.
What? That hero gave it to you.
Yes, he did. We also went to the shooting with uncle.
Give it to me. I will show this in the school.
Are you crazy? We want to play with this.
Play? Do you even know how to play with it?
No. I mean Shanu has seen it on TV
Okay. So you have seen it on TV.
Keep quiet. Don't make any sound.
Yes this is that game. To and fro. To and fro.
And now it has fallen down.
These people don't even know how to play.
And the one in red.
Don't say anything about her. She is the mom of my best friend.
Lets go.
Have you thought where we will play?
Behind our colony. In front of Gotiya's window.
Oh no. You need a huge place for that.
That place is not even half.
At the laundry man's place?
There will be so many clothes there,
That we won't even be able to see each other.
Uncle Kadam. We will play in front of his house.
He doesn't even scold.
But who will tolerate the stench from the toilet nearby.
On the railway tracks. Even mother doesn't go there.
But my father does. Then I will be thrashed.
There where should we play?
Here.
Chetan.
Chetan listen. Look at this.
So?
Come. Lets play with it.
Where? There is no space here.
With a lot of difficulty we have got this place.
Nowadays elders sit here.
The elders can sit anywhere, right?
Go. You go and tell them.
And then the ball bounced and fell into the water.
The children were all scared.
Why did they get scared?
Because a serpent used to stay inside that water. Its name was "kalia"
Kalia?
Yes. And it had ten heads.
Ten heads?
Ten heads.
But our lord Krishna was not at all scared.
Without looking here and there, he jumped into the water.
And then he climbed on Kalia's head and came out of the water.
Lord Krishna was not scared?
He was not at all scared. He was as small as you.
But he went ahead because he wanted the ball.
The children were all happy and started clapping for him.
Because he was not at scared.
Isn't it?
Ishani, ask you friend's mummy.
Can we go to there building and play?
No, outsiders are not allowed there.
Then?
Then what? We have to play but we have no space.
There is a space.
But we cant play there.
Now will you just stare or do something too?
-Come. -Okay.
Ta na ta na na na na taa na na na na nan na
Uncle Tapan! Uncle Tapan!
Ta na ta na na na na taa na na na na nan na
If we sell this stuff. To the scarp dealer?
How much money will we get?
What? Really. You will get money for it.
You want to buy new stuff, right?
You will get money out of this junk? Crazy.
Bua, go and bring the scrap dealer.
You go.
Go, Bua. You are my good Bua.
I wont even tell, mother.
You send me for everything. Can't you go?
Shanu. Shanu.
Sister- the chutney you gave yesterday was nice.
I will send you the utensil. Go and deliver the saris.
What is happening here?
What are you two doing? God!
Shanu, your clothes are so dirty.
Should I just wash your clothes all day long?
Ishu, you should have told to him.
What is happening here?
Take this. You will wash your clothes.
You will wash all these.
And where is Bua?
Junk needs to be brought from the colony.
What stuff have you got?
Iron, plastic. Wood.
There is also a bucket.
Pipe, tyre and a lot of other things.
How much?
I don't know.
But it must be worth 3000-4000 rupees.
There is so much. There is a lot.
-Madu. -Yes.
Take a bag and go with him.
Yes.
Come.
Lets go
-Where do we have to go? -Bhagyarathi Chawl
70 rupees.
What do you mean?
Its 14 kgs. So with the rate of 5 per kg it will be 70.
-What? -What is he saying?
He is giving you five rupees extra. Take it
Ok give it.
But you said it will be around 3000-4000?
Rascal, did I say it or you said so?
Telling lies in broad daylight.
Hello. Yes, brother Taj.
What? The children have left long ago.
The children have left. Yes.
They haven't reached...
No I will.
I will look for them again.
Whose permission did you take to sell them?
But uncle Tapan, all that was lying useless.
If it was lying useless then you could have left it like that.
Have you taken the contract... of selling all useless things?
Did it belong to your father?
Hey Tapan! Why are you abusing his father?
It was your stuff. You should have kept it inside your house.
Understood.
Why did you throw it on the ground?
Does the ground belong to your father?
Why are you dragging my father into it?
You are dragging their father.
Their father is not so cheap.
For any lowly person like you to insult him, understood?
Whom did you call lowly?
-You! Wait. -Come.
-You are speaking too much. -I am not scared. I am coming wait.
-Come. Come. -I am not scared. Understood?
I have told you so many times not to mention their father.
If you mention their father, I will drag you entire family. Understood.
But they sold stuff without permission?
So what? That was junk. If they sell the junk, what will you do?
What will you do? Tell me.
I am bound to get angry, right.
keep your anger at home.
Don't vent it on my children. Understood.
Don't vent it on my children.
-Come on, tell me. -I don't mess with women.
Don't mess with me. It will cost you a lot.
You better never abuse their father.
You are still standing here?
Why haven't you delivered the saris.
What are you looking at? Look here.
Where were you both?
Ishu, tell me, where were these two?
Where are the saris.
Bua. Shanu. Where are you going?
That bag.
You have given away such expensive saris as junk.
This must cost around 3000-4000.
Go.
Lets go.
Come on let's go.
Where do you disappear the entire day?
There your mother is worried. Here I am.
If you go missing, it's ok.
But what will I do if my saris go missing?
-How many are there? -Four.
Today you have counted them.
Something is fishy.
Will you do something for us, brother Taj?
Brother Taj!
So much respect when you have work.
Otherwise you pull my legs.
You mimic me, right?
No, brother Taj, we will never do so again.
Truly. I swear on my mother.
Now don't drag in you mother. Come to the point.
-That game. -Cricket?
No. The one, which has to bats.
Even in cricket there are two bats.
No, the one which has a net in the middle
Net.
Dear, I think you are setting up a net for me.
Are you fooling me?
This one.
-Okay. You are referring to this. -Yes.
What do you want to do?
-The net in the middle. -Yes.
We want to get that made.
Dear, you are dialing the wrong number.
I am a ladies tailor.
I don't touch anything but saris and blouses.
And you want me to stitch a net.
Go and do your work.
Brother Taj please help. We will never mimic you now.
-You wont? -No.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
Then I will never make it.
Don't you understand? Show me how I walk.
But you will get angry.
Dear, I have never felt angry even at my enemies.
You are the dear one.
Come, show. Go on.
You thief.
You walk even better than me.
You have pleased me.
Enough. All right, I will stitch you net.
Go.
But we need a big one?
We have to tie it from there to here.
You wishes are increasing.
I said that I would make it. Go home now.
Your mother will be worried. Go straight home

Yes, yes.
Still to be sure, take him to some doctor in the morning.

Don't worry, dear.
Don't worry, pain will gradually reduce.
Change the bandage after tow hours. I will leave
-Good-bye. -Good-bye.
I am coming. Okay.
Stop Bua.
I will hit you. Don't touch him.
Don't worry, dear.
No need to worry. His bone has got dislocated.
We have plastered it. Actually even plaster was not required.
But since he is a child we have done a soft plaster.
We will take it off in 2-4 days. Okay.
And with that excuse at least he will stay at home.
That won't happen. He is very naughty.
He also needs to rest properly.
Did you hear that?
Take this and rest. Ok
Put your hand in it.
Take this and drink.
And don't move from here.
Your arm is broken. If you move I will break you leg.
And stay away from him otherwise I will beat you too.
No matter what my work increases.
I have told you so many times. Look around and then run.
But no. You just run around. don't look...
-Take it. -...and then fall.
You have now fractured your hand.
Let everything get fractured... Hand and legs and you sit.
Mother will do all the work. She has no other work.
This is all she has to do all her life.
I am really irritated. I will commit suicide then I will be free.
Rascals.
Take it...
Take it. I have more money with me.
Uncle one more.
Bua if your clothes get wet then I will beat you. Understood?
Yes mother.
I am going to deliver the saris. Don't go anywhere.
But why are you going? I will go.
Is it? You will go alone so far? Have you become so smart?
But mother, I even know the entire way there.
Anyway he doesn't lift anything. I have to lift all the saris. Ask him.
Is it? Will you go safely?
Yes.
You will look around for any vehicles.
Now give it to me fast.
My son is very smart.
Its very heavy.
Run.
Thank you, mam.
Wait, where are you going?
That bat with the net.
The net? That one?
Yes.
Wait here, I will go and see.
700 rupees. That bat with the net costs 700 rupees.
700 rupees, meaning?
That it is worth 700 rupees.
We wanted two.
Then you will require 1400 rupees.
1400 rupees means?
1400 means half of my salary.
That's a lot of money.
How will we play, Shanu?
We neither have the stuff nor do we have money for it.
Shall we ask mom?
Mother will give us money if she has any.
Uncle Bali?
Ishani. Ishani.
Come.
The bat with the net is very expensive.
Expensive. How much?
One costs 700. We will need two.
I had gone yesterday to ask about it.
And we don't have so much money. We are already broke.
Tell me, Ishani. Where are you taking us?
Come along.
Please tell Ishani.
Just come along. You will get to know.
No, tell us.
Please give an ice pop.
Sorry.
Take this
And for you both?
Why her? She is the eldest. I am the youngest. I should be getting it.
I'll give you later.
-Ishani. -Yes.
What does sorry mean in Hindi?
Sorry means MAAFI.
Sorry means MAAFI
I will write and give you later.
Now tell, where are we going?
240 for both.
You wont find it cheaper anywhere else in Mumbai.
Please lessen the price, uncle.
I would have lessened the price if I could.
But it is not possible, dear.
Cheaper than this means free.
Free?
Yes, 240 rupees.
Want them? Want them?
Ishani.
Mother is at home.
Sit...
Give the money quick.
Today's Gudi Padwa festival. Bali uncle will also give us money.
Put your hand here. Stand straight.
I don't want to wear this. It is so large.
You have also grown up.
Last year, in Gudi festival what was your size?
This much. Now you have grown so much.
Then this shirt will also become big. It wont remain small.
But I want to wear what shanu is wearing.
Shanu's shirt is not good.
Look. The color of the shirt is so nice.
Yes yellow.
Yes, I like it a lot. Did you see?
There is a small design here. Something is written in English here.
This will look very good.
My son is looking very nice. Goodness.
You are really looking very nice. Baby lord Krishna.
Like baby Krishna. My son is looking wonderful.

Today I was able to sew the fall on only two saris.
Even my work is getting hampered because of you.
I beg to you. Stop all this.
We already lack money. And you are adding expenses of a doctor.
Didn't you understand this?
Take this.
No. Look how long it is...
What is happening here?
You are stealing things peacefully.
We have the money.
Shanu, give him money.
Why should we ask for help every time?
Get out from here.
Can we take one?
Get out from here fast.
Can we take one?
Get out from here now.
Brother Taj.
You have come, you rascals.
Half of my life is spent waiting for you.
So? Did you see the result of mimicking me?
You have mimicked me enough.
Now not you but I will mimic you.
Do you know what he was doing when his arm broke?
Oh ghosh, I am dead.
Brother Taj, have you made our net?
Net?
I had finished making it long ago.
Since you didn't come I sold it to the bird catcher.
Why are you troubling the kids, brother Taj?
Look at the younger one's face.
Have you seen your face?
When you will show your face to God even he will look away.
I have told you so many times not to interfere.
You have destroyed the suspense.
Here it is. But I am not giving it to you.
Why?
Give Rs. 300 and take the net.
But we don't have money.
Now I wont give it away for free.
There is one way out. Show me how I walk.
Hey thief!
Pull it a little higher.
You also do something.
Shut up.
Only 20 is pending. We will pay you, uncle patel. Promise.
Five rupees every week.
Yes uncle we will pay.
Put it down. You will have to pay.
I even know your homes.
You won't need that.
Is it? Then take this.
You took that. What about this?
We have it already.
Shanu, Bua. Enough.
-Come and have your food. -Come.
We will play during the day, it is dark now.
That green one is mine, okay. You take the blue one.
Yes take.
Enough of your play now. Eat properly.
-You will take the green one. -I wont.
Either quarrel or have food first. Do just one thing at a time.
-Yes, even I was saying the same. -Yes.
Always... Always...
Wow! Lentil curry.
Will you eat?
No I have eaten.
-From whom shall I take food. -From me.
Wow! Now have your food and go to sleep at once.
Why?
Because you have to wake up early in the morning.
The bus is at half past five. It takes and hour to reach there.
Where?
Ganesh sir has called.
Mission accomplished.
Sanu- Bua have got jobs.
Yes now we three will work in a picture.
Uncle Bali... Shanu...and Bua.
Spot boy company.
I had put in so much effort. I had to request him so much.
I used to tell him. Everyday to do something. Begged him. Requested him.
I also treated him with alcohol. The work is done. Even Suraj sir said.
Shanu, you left half of it.
I made it because you like beaten rice.
-But you didn't eat it. -We get food during the shooting.
Hurry up.
Otherwise Uncle Bali will shout.
Mother, lets buy colorful new slippers.
Mother, do you know, if one wears torn shoes.
In sister Ishani's school then they fine them.
I will get slippers for you.
New one.
Nice boy.
Now matter who says anything there...
even if someone scolds you a lot, don't answer back.
What?
We are spot boys.
Who we are? We are spot boys.
Whenever they call Spot you need to rush there in a minute.
And you need to get them whatever they ask for.
And you don't need to mess with anyone else.
Careful.
If anyone messes with you then come straight to me.
Don't answer back to anyone there.
Don't utter even a single word.
Only do the work assigned to you.
Hello. Yes we are coming.
We'll be there on time.
Even they both are there with me.
Yes we will fix something wages.
They even have to pay full fare in the bus.
Okay you serve the snacks. We are reaching.
This is our studio.
What does studio mean?
Good morning sir.
Studio is the place where movies are filmed.
Understood?
Uncle, even here they will play the game with the net?
No. We have not come to play here. we have come to work.
Don't mess around. Okay, Shanu?
Have you understood? Take care of him.
Are you hungry?
Govind!
Brother Bali.
Where were you?
I thought you have left this profession.
-What Bali? -How are you?
Where will I go if I leave this profession?
I don't have any other talent.
Right. And you are also making so much money.
I have heard you have made your own house.
What home?
I have just bought a small room.
Yes so. It's a good thing.
Even that should be celebrated.
Tell me, when?
I had completed the veneration yesterday.
I will get sweets for you.
Even the production treats us to sweets in lunch. I...
I will tell you. Come.
Fine.
So you have brought your kids to watch the shooting?
No, they are Mangesh's kids.
From now they will work with me here.
They are Mangesh's boys?
Say hello.
-Hello. -Hello.
I will go and introduce them, okay?
All right.
Come on.
Take this.
-And I want all the cups back. -Yes.
-Did you understand? -Yes sir
Will you leave after the tea will get cold?
Leave now.
And listen.
-And give the red cup to the Director. -Yes sir.
-Don't forget. -Yes sir.
You all have broken so many cups.
Who is responsible for it?
Who is responsible for it? Me?
Does my father own a factory?
Will you leave after the tea will get cold?
Leave now.
Suraj Bro, why so much sugar?
Shall I add salt instead?
You already speak so sweetly.
Enough.
And how are you?
Same like you.
Here take your troupe.
Why did you bring these kids?
They are my nephews. I had told you.
Yes.
Kids, this is uncle suraj.
-God gibes us food. He gives us tea. -Enough.
-Has our manager arrived? -Yes, he has.
I'll mark attendance and come.
Come on, touch uncle Suraj's feet.
Oh no.
Enough, dear. Sit here.
Sit here.
-Have some tea. -I am coming.
What's your name?
Shanu.
And yours.
Bua.
-What? -Bua.
What kind of name is Bua?
Actually my name was Bhuwan.
But when I used to go to school in childhood...
everyone used to address me as Bua.
And I started to be known as Bua.
In childhood?
Have you grown up?
Yes.
No. But I do not go to school now.
Oh!
Take dear.
First think about ourselves.
We will think about others later.
Have tea.
Take dear.
Do you know your work?
It was the seventh time.
Mom says the eighth one is coming on Monday for marriage proposal.
I can not always scare them by speaking religious things.
You never know. What if the eighth one likes all this, then?
Then go and die with him. Get married.
You are a coward. You cannot even elope.
Look at Smriti. She eloped and got married.
And now she is settled in the US.
Cut it.
Excellent.
Call the hero. We will take the two shot.
Madam, Bunty had called. Three times.
-Madam. -Not now.
-It will come. -No I...
"There is no punishment greater than life."
"And no one knows what crime we have done."
Take dear. Distribute them among the poor.
Go. Be careful.
I want that at any cost.
Otherwise don't tell me. I'll go direct to the madam.
Your attitude may be accepted in TV serials.
It is not accepted here.
Film is film.
That's why I don't work in serials.
This has to be done.
Tell me, when you are going to return the five.
Madam, I have already told you.
-You don't understand. -Madam tea
Come on do it.
Hey! First serve here.
Later to everyone else.
-I will get it. -What will you get?
You are only interested in tea.
Action!
Give me 500 rupees.
If I had...Then why would I ask you for it?
First clear your old dues.
-Shanu... -hmm
You will demand an explanation from your boyfriend.
It will be late by the time we reach home.
You will not take a penny. And my entire salary would be mine.
How will we play in the dark?
Cut it. We will take it once again.
That attitude, the style... we are not able to create the chemistry.
They are shooting for the three-hour film since morning.
I do not have that much time.
It will continue tomorrow.
You will demand an explanation from your boyfriend.
Now this shooting will happen every day.
You will not take a penny. And my entire salary would be mine.
Cut it. Very nice.
Now we will take their close ups tomorrow.
Pack up.
It is done.
Uncle. Uncle.
Tell me, what happened?
Uncle, when we will have a holiday?
You have not even started working and you are already thinking about holiday.
No, the way Ishani has Sunday.
Like that.
Dear, in our profession, holiday is bad, understood?
Now we have job so enjoy.
Otherwise we stay at home and earn nothing.
I will tell him.
I am not going to the shoot tomorrow.
We won't go for shooting.
Uncle Sooraj will understand.
But what will we tell uncle Bali?
I don't know how long this shooting will continue.
You two are here.
Its too late.
You have to go to work tomorrow.
Come on.
Come to sleep. Come.
What has happened to you two?
You have not spoken to me after returning.
You didn't even tell me.
How was it there? Whom did you meet?
What happened the entire day?
What was there on the film sets?
-On the sets. -Yes.
There, the busses don't have seats.
It's a complete room. Larger than our room.
And everybody addresses uncle Bali as spot.
Spot.
And when the director says acting. The heroine starts to act.
But our heroine is very bad.
-Why? -She smokes the entire day.
-The heroine smokes? -Yes.
If she is smoking then let her.
You don't.
Why? What happens when you smoke?
Man dies... Very early.
That means our heroine is going to die soon.
Mother, tell me now how was I born?
I told you. It cannot be told at night.
It is told during the day.
-Why? -What why?
Hail to... Lord Ganesh.
The acting seems to be good.
Please do fast. We don't have time.
Lets go.
Take it before the light goes.
Characters are not working.
I want to use washroom.
You should have told earlier.
Since morning I am saying.
I have just been told. Has the hero come?
Do whatever you wish to.
Don't put that. Put this one.
You should tell earlier what is wanted.
It is good you have come.
I haven't drunk tea since morning.
Do that later. Do this first.
-Five minutes. -Five minutes would be late.
Do this first.
I need five minutes to have tea.
Wait. Give me the tea.
What is this?
This is tea?
Two sips of tea in a small cup.
Not two but one sip.
The production is miserly.
One shouldn't work with such miserly productions.
What?
-One shouldn't work. -Yes
Do you know?
Your father was my friend?
He used to come for shooting with Bali sometimes.
Mangesh.
Your face is similar to your father.
And your smile is completely like his.
Will you serve me one more tea?
Take it.
Uncle, today let's celebrate.
-Have you paid for the children too? -Yes, I have paid for them.
-The chilies are better now. -Yes.
I came to know.
Right?
Its very spicy.
Spicy
The entire colony is covered with its aroma.
-You can smell it. -Yes.
-Vaishnavi. -Yes.
Here are your first earnings.
What?
I mean Shanu-Bua's earnings.
Take.
Are you happy now?
No!
Just prepare pudding for me.
They are earning when they should be studying.
Now since they have started to earn.
They will also start studying.
Your children are wise.
Yes.
They are wise.
Wait. Wait.
Shanu, they can also play at night, right?
Yes.
What's the matter, junior?
Did the budget of the movie increase? Or is it the producer's birthday?
The tea is wonderful.
Why don't you prepare such tea every day?
What happened?
Will you watch me finish it?
I have some work.
I need a wire.
A small one.
By little do you mean as much as you.
No, from here till there.
That's small?
But what will you do with the wire?
I have some work.
All right, I will give you some.
And a bulb too.
Which will glow a lot.
The money has come.
It is connected.
Buy why isn't it working?
It won't start like this. We have to connect that wire there.
I have seen that during ganesh festival.
Wait while connect the wire there.
Very little.
I will come too.
I will connect the wire while you go upstairs... And quietly get the two bats.
-Okay? -Yes.
But I will play from this end.
Yes, but first get the stuff.
All right, go fast.
The profit is less.
You have done till now.
Do it.
Now watch how it lights up.
It is illuminated.
Shanu... Now we will play every day.
But first bring the bat.
Do it.
I think the wire had come out.
What happened?
Why is there a power failure?
Who is doing this in the middle of the night?
I think only our area has a power failure.
They have power...
Shanu.
Go and check. Maybe there is a faulty fuse.
Oh no... it is for everyone.
I think it will last the entire night.
Brother, Shanu and Bua must be watching TV at your place send them home.
No, they are not here.
-They were there since evening. -No, they never came.
-Who? -Shanu-Bua.
-Shanu and Bua? -Yes.
They were doing something down there near the electric meter.
-Meter. -Yes
-Vaishnavi. -Yes
Why don't you slap them?
-Why are you speaking like that? -Wait wait.
Bali, are we lying?
But first find out.
Most of the problems in the colony happen because of those two.
Tapan, I told you that if you speak ill of my children... I wont leave you.
Now all of us will have to sleep in the heat.
-Where the two? -They must be here.
First we work so hard entire day.
And after coming home we don't get to sleep.
Her children don't even go to school.
Now if our children stay awake the entire night.
Their children go to school. People go to work.
Look the two have come.
What were you doing near the meter below?
Don't touch them. See this. Convinced?
-Happy? -Yes.
Come inside.
-Go inside. -She hit them slightly and is saying... You are convinced?
It is easy to give birth to children. But very difficult to raise them.
-It's okay. -No, no...
The father has died and has left this problem for us.
Why are you sitting like this?
Start.
At home you always ask for fried bread. Now have it.
Couldn't you ask me for the light bulb?
I was awake the entire night.
-Uncle. -What?
Why did our father die?
Do you know...
I and Mangesh were just like you two.
But you were elder to father, right?
Then you should have died first.
Dear, actually...
The ones whom God loves more he calls them sooner.
He doesn't differentiate.
Then well we also die before you?
Bua, give me a hug.
Bua.
You too.

Why?
What why? Why will you get money if you don't work?
-And you? -I wont work either.

Hey where is our net?
"My Sahib Bhimrao"
"My Sahib Bhimrao."
Where is my net?
-This is yours, right, -Yes.
Then take it.
But why did you take it off?
We had to erect a stage.
Erect it again after the program gets over today.
Otherwise I will set it up for you.
-Program? -Yes.
"My Sahib Bhimrao."
Why did you take out the net?
And why are they playing songs?
Tell me.
"You came as a support in troubled times."
Why did you take our net.
Shanu, you have woken up.
Take your bath and wear these new clothes.
What's going on? I don't see you these days.
It seems like you have become the 29th of February.
Come here.
Show me. Turn around.
Son, it is looking good on you.
Did you see dear, the magic of brother Taj!
I had sown it by guessing your measurements.
And it still fits you well.
Say something rascals.
Am I police that you wont speak to me?
Dear, I sew it because you mother told me to.
Otherwise I haven't even sewn a hanky of men.
I think the kids didn't like the clothes.
Now, what can I say?
It's been so many years but still Mr. Bachchan doesn't like it without me.
When he reaches the set he will say, where is Bali? Where is Bali?
-Yes. Do you know what he calls me? -What?
Bahubali.
I was pregnant with Shanu when I was 23.
Very popular.
You are not always aware of such things.
Yes.
Bua. Bua, come here.
How are you Hari Bhai?
Come here fast.
Where were you? You disappear where? It's time to eat.
The meal, also includes milk balls. Do you know?
Go and have your meal and milk balls. Okay?
And where is Shanu?
-Coming. -Yes.
Tell him to have his meal too. Okay?
I have not eaten. I am going to eat too.
-Okay. -Bua.
If you work like that then you wont be able to play ever.
Yes. Even Shanu was saying the same thing.
He has gone somewhere to talk.
It will take time.
I will complete this in five minutes and then attend to you.
Do you want an assistant?
Assistant? Meaning?
I mean to do cleaning and all this.
I am the master and the assistant.
I can not afford anyone else.
Keep quiet. Sit.
Keep quiet.
Aunt sit.
Yes, fast. Fast. Yes, sit.
Everyone will be served snacks after the program.
Yes.
I request chief guest Rohit Das Kamble to say a few words.
Today we are celebrating the birthday of that person...
Who taught the nation the new meaning of peace.
It is not easy to go against the society.
And that too during that time. But even then this great man revolted...
against the social arrangement and started an agitation.
And he made an important life giving things like water free of cost.
I salute this great man a million times.
With that I complete my speech.
Hail Bheem. Hail Maharashtra.
Hail Maharashtra.
We all are cooperating, isn't it?
-You asked me for six days. -Yes.
-I gave you seven days. -Yes.
Even last time I had adjusted. The other film for you.
What else do you need?
What can I say, Ms. Sakshi?
I am stuck after taking this heroine.
She does so many retakes.
Ms. Sakshi, you are Ms. Solution.
Please do something about it.
I cannot do anything here.
Only the hero can give you the dates.
You can either wait for 20 days... or shoot the climax first.
Ms. Sakshi, there is only two days shoot pending here.
You also need hero for that.
He can work for two shifts.
And anyways you are going to shoot the climax in Panchgani.
So you can do it any day.
But production? Even they have to give time.
Don't worry about the production, sir.
They are my responsibility.
We have their permission. And I also know two people there.
You just concentrate on your creativity.
Why?
-Spot. -Yes sir.
Get sweets for madam.
Have sir.
Ms. Sakshi, please see if anything can be done.
"I am going, Rama..."
Take dear. Drink this milk.
"I am going, Rama..."
Oh sorry! Sorry!
"I am going..."
What are you staring at? Why are you not drinking?
-Uncle. -Yes.
What if the milk gets over?
I have to finish the milk, Bua.
Because the shooting is over.
The shooting is over.
Yes, it is over. Have to got to Panchgani tomorrow.
We will do the remaining shooting there.
I am going...
-Panchagani? -Yes.
-Meaning -Panchgani means Panchgani.
Means a place far away from here.
The rest of the shooting will be done there.
And we will get fresh milk there.
"I am going, Rama..."
Where are you going?
Bua.
Shanu, do you know that we all are going out-station for the shoot?
Tomorrow?
But who told you?
Both of us are going to go.
But who told you?
Uncle Suraj.
How will we play now?
When are you leaving?
-I'll tell you. -Ok I'm leaving.
Here. This is for today.
Give it to mother.
Did you have your food, brother?
Yes.
Come.
We ate early today... so that they can leave tomorrow on time.
These sweaters are not getting adjusted in the bag.
Can they be adjusted in your bag?
Yes yes... it will... Give.
I am feeling very strange.
Actually both my kids are leaving me for the first time.
The younger one doesn't stay without me.
Not even for a day.
It is the responsibility of the society.
We are not going to some forest.
Vaishnavi, we are going for shooting.
Why are you worrying?
Why should I worry, when brother is there?
Yes give that.
-Will you take this too? -Yes.
Do they give food on time?
There is a problem with food.
Actually for the first three days.
They make the newbies work a lot in outdoor sets.
And if they work properly then only...
after three days... they give them food to eat.
Oh no. He is humoring you.
Yes, I was like...
Are you mad? Just like that... no food.
Yes...They will get the food.
After all it's a film shooting.
It will be very cold there.
I also have a blanket...
Oh no. the sweater is enough.
We are going to shoot a film.
It's a big production. Everything is there.
Why are you scared? I will call you everyday.
But only for a minut.
You swallow all my talk time balance.
No no I wont.
What was the use.
If we are never going to play.
Why did we make the playground?
No problem. As my father was saying...
That Panchgani is a nice place.
Just like the drawing. He has gone there before.
Anyway it is just for 15 days.
You can play when the shooting gets over.
And you can play at any time. The entire day.
We will never play here now.
Shanu.
"There is silence everywhere."
"Inside and out."
Shanu! What are you doing here?
And why are you crying?
"Inside and out."
Tell me. What's the matter?
Where are you going?
"-It is spread. -it is spread."
Shanu
"The darkness is spread all over."
"Inside and out."
"There is silence everywhere."
"Inside and out."
"Why did this happen?"
"Why was there any dream?"
"Why was there a storm?"
"Why did my heard hurt?"
"Why did this happen?"
"Why was there any dream?"
"Why was there a storm?"
"Why did my heard hurt?"
"Why did I find something, which had to get lost?"
"Everything is scattered."
"Inside and out."
"There is silence everywhere."
"Inside and out."
Suraj. Hold this.
-You will like it. Drink. -Really.
You will like it. Drink.
It gets ready in half a minute.
Now everyone cannot make tea like you.
Now drink in Panchgani. Have you ever been to Panchgani?
It is absolute haven.
People also go there for their honeymoon.
Then we will have lots of fun.
Heaven with a cup of tea prepared by you. It is the best combination.
Your wife doesn't give you tea at home?
Bali, there is a difference between tea in heaven and hell.
What is he saying?
Why are the children so sad?
They are leaving their mother for the first time for 15 days.
This is nothing. You should have their mother in the morning.
He looked very sad.
-Uncle Bali. -Yes.
When will the vehicle arrive?
It will come soon. Will you have anything?
Shanu!
-Shanu! -Shanu!
The red ice-cream.
"The heard beat is silent the courtyard is silent."
"The problems of the heart are silent."
"Life is silent today."
"The heard beat is silent the courtyard is silent."
"The problems of the heart are silent"
"Life is silent today."
"In the noise of the world childhood is silent."
"There is a deep pain."
"Inside and out."
"There is silence everywhere."
"Inside and out."
Get down here. Are they waiting for vanity?
People come to school to study and we have come here to shoot.
You are feeling very cold
Are you missing you wife? Shall I call her here.
Please click a nice picture.
Come on.
