Part 4

The next day

Bajaj entered the studio, sat on the chair, and replied to Komaloka's messages. The manager came to him & said, "Congratulations, Mr. Bajaj. One more film has become a super hit. The director forecasted that your movie will generate a minimum revenue of Rs. 500,000. All are saying that, though it is weak in some places like Rajasthan. However, publicity will improve the viewers there. However, your film broke records in Kolkota, Bihar, Assam & other parts of India."

Bajaj: What about the heroine's dates?

The manager said, "It will be tomorrow."

The next day, Anurag & Prerna are going to the studio.

Prerna: We are getting late today. We are watching another film.

They see people selling tickets in black.

Anurag went there.

Prerna: Come on, we are getting late.

Anurag: We won't miss much. It is just a matter of one song.

Prerna: I want to watch the entire movie.

Suddenly, they saw Anurag's friend Munna selling black tickets.

Prerna: Your friend Munna is selling black tickets.

Anurag: When life is black, the person will sell black tickets.

Prerna: What do you mean?

Anurag: He lost his mother at the age of 5. His father was a drunkard, and he also died. From then on, he started selling black tickets, saying," 10 tickets for Rs.30. He has to get his sister, Gopika, married, but everyone asks for dowry. So, he is trying to arrange for funds to get her married.

Prerna: But he doesn't look like that.

Anurag: One cannot make out the reality from the face.

Anurag and Prerna entered the theater and took their seats.

Prerna watched the shot and said, "Wow, what a shirt!"

Anurag: I brought the shirt out of my hard-earned money.

Prerna: I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about the actor.

Anurag: He must have taken it on rent. But I purchased it.

He asked everyone watching the movie, "What do you say, guys?"

All said, "Right!"

Anurag puts his legs on the other seat while watching movies. The man sitting in the front seat said, "Your legs are making my shirt dirty. Please put them down."

Anurag: I want to sit comfortably. Why should I make myself uncomfortable? I've paid money to watch the movie.

The other man said, "So what? Even I paid money."

Anurag: Just because you paid money doesn't mean you or your dad purchased the cinema hall.

The man said, "Just because a girl is sitting next to you, are you trying to become a hero before her?"

Anurag manhandled the man while others tried to stop the fight. 

Prerna: Stop it, Anurag. Guys, I am sorry.

Prerna leaves the theater angrily. Anurag followed her.

Anurag: Listen Prerna. Why are you so upset?

Prerna walks further without responding.

Anurag: What is the grave mistake that I made that you are not talking to me?

Prerna: What was the need for you to fight with that man?

Anurag: You have seen how he talked.

Prerna: I have seen him and you. What was the need for you to spread your legs?

Anurag: Why are you advocating for him? Everyone in this world except me is intelligent. Stop these tantrums.

They reached home, fighting.

Rajesh: Can't you guys have fun without quarreling?

Anurag: Uncle, tell me one thing. For what reason does a person go to the theater?

Rajesh: For fun.

Anurag: If a person pays for the ticket, won't they make themselves comfortable?

Prerna: Sitting comfortably doesn't mean he must sit like a king & kick people seated in the front.

Anurag: Stop making stories. I never kicked anyone. I just put my leg on his seat. What was his problem?

Prerna sarcastically said, "He didn't have any problem. He was having a great fun."

Veena: What happened, Anurag?

Anurag: It was just a petty matter, and he pulled it like a chewing gum. I just spread my leg. If the man came to watch the movie, why does he look at my leg?

Prerna to Rajesh: Everyone comes to have fun, but that doesn't mean they must spread their legs and sit.

Rajesh laughed.

Prerna: It looks very cheap. Doesn't it?

Rajesh: Of course, it looks cheap.

Anurag: Talk to me directly. I will give you an answer to everything.

Prerna: I told you I don't want to speak to you.

Anurag: See.. now you decide, uncle. She keeps talking without listening to me. On top of that, it was a lousy movie. I got bored watching it.

Prerna: Hey, don't talk anything about the movie.

Anurag: Why shouldn't I? Is it because your favorite Rishab Bajaj acted in it? Does his presence make a lousy movie great?

Prerna: Who are you to say that? Are you a governor?

Anurag: No, I am one of the public viewers & have every right to comment. If the movie is not worth the money, it is ruined, even if your beloved Rishab Bajaj is there.

Prerna: Really?

Anurag: Yes

Prerna closed the window.

Anurag: Ah, my finger got crushed.

Rajesh & Veena are tense. Prerna came to the room & asked, "Anurag, What happened? Did you get hurt? Show your finger."

Anurag showed his finger & laughed. Prerna hits him & says, "Look, Dad, he keeps fooling, and you always tell me."

Everyone laughed.

The next day

Bajaj sees his brother Dev sitting on the terrace in the dark.

Bajaj: Are you seeing the sky? It seems that all the stars have come down. All stars have a story, and each house has its story. But everything looks the same here.

Anurag went to the studio. He sees Prerna rehearsing.

Prerna: Anurag, you are here!

Anurag: I searched for you in the entire studio & you are dancing in the dark.

Prerna: The heroine backed out at the last moment. So, I got an offer for which I am practicing. I thought this was the best place. But what are you doing here?

Anurag: I created an uproar in the theater the previous day. I thought about it & felt sorry for you. My nature isn't hidden from anyone here. I am a short-tempered person & am a hot pan once I get angry. So, I repurchased tickets. I will show you the movie today.

Prerna: I heard it many times. Get lost.

Anurag: Is this your shooting set, where you bored me daily? What does this shooting set have? Is our festival pandal better than this one?

Prerna: Really? Just a minute.

Prerna shows Anurag her dance video.

Part 5

Anurag sees Prerna dancing in that video. The song plays.

Aay Yaay O El Bo O Maangta Hai Kya Voh Bolo, Haan Bolo
Maangta Hai Jo Yeh Le Lo, Yeh Suhaani Shaam
Jaaduu Aisa Hai Hamaara, Jo Maangta Hai Voh Milega, Tumko
Aay Yaay O El Bo O Maangta Hai Jo Voh De Do, Aa De Do
Maangta Hai Dil Voh De Do, Maangta Hai Pyaar
Bas Is Ke Siva O Jaana, Aur Kuchh Nahin Maangta Hai Ham Ko

Anurag closely watched Prerna's dance steps and imagined himself dancing with the rocks on the beach. They dance in the forest, rolling their eyes. All the men come out and join them. Anurag and Prerna share an eyelock.

Dekho Dekho Ye Suraj Phuul Aur Ye Ujaale, Ye Sab Hain Tumhaare
Nahin Nahin In Se Hamein Hai Matlab Kya, Deewaane Ham Tumhaare
Aay Yaay O El Bo O Maangta Hai Kya Voh Bolo
Aay Yaay Haal Mera Tum Kuchh To Suno Are Suno
Kabhi Kabhi Jaane-Jaana Dil De Dil Le Dil De Dil Lene Ka Socho To
Suno Suno Baat Meri Samjho

Anurag and Prerna dance on the seat of the lantern spring. Both of them lie down. Anurag and Prerna dance inside the under-constructed building. Everyone joins them in the dance.

Aaja Aaja Tujhko Nazaare Ham Dikhaayein, Bahaaron Se Milaayein
Chhodo Chhodo Kaisi Bahaarein Kya Nazaare, Are Aayo Dil Milaayein
Aay Yaay O El Bo O Maangta Hai Kya Voh Bolo, Haan Bolo
Maangta Hai Jaan Yeh Le Lo Yeh Suhaani Shaam
Jaaduu Aisa Hai Hamaara, Jo Maangta Hai Voh Milega Tumko.

Anurag imagines himself with Prerna dancing inside the drawn circle and the clouds. Both of them give. Anurag touched her belly. Prerna dances on the rock while Anurag stretches himself on the tree. Prerna comes to the tree. Anurag helps her to climb. They went to the moon and danced.

The next moment, Anurag meets Munna.

Anurag: I want to tell you something.

Munna: What?

Anurag: Do you know Prerna?

Munna: Yes, did you both quarrel again?

Anurag: No. Prerna's family is adorable. They love me a lot. It is a homely environment. I like Prerna very much. Are you getting it?

Munna: Yes. You said you like Prerna and her family.

Anurag: I love Prerna & want to marry her.

Munna laughed & said, "Anurag wants to marry."

He danced.

Anurag: I am serious & you are dancing.

Munna: Tell this to your bride. I am only a spectator.

Anurag: That's the problem. She never takes me seriously. She may laugh.

Munna: I know that. But if you want to spend your life with her, confess it to her.

Anurag: Yes, that's also correct. I will tell her when I get an opportunity. One of our close friends asked our parents to find a girl for his son. The guy is well-educated & is a businessman. They won't take any dowry. Shall we introduce them to your sister?

Munna: Sure.

Anurag: Meet us tomorrow.

The next day, Anurag, Prerna, & Munna sit in the mini train & have a great time. Suddenly, Prerna gets scared as the speed increases. The train stopped at its original place; Everyone got down. Anurag and Munna laughed.

Anurag: It was a nice ride

Prerna gets angry as she is scared.

Anurag and Munna went to Prerna.

Anurag: See, she's scared.

Anurag to Prerna: Your heart is weak. What will you do when you grow up?

Prerna: I will scream. Do you know how scared I was?

Anurag: This is nothing. If you go to America, there are more dangerous games than these.

Prerna: Yes, go there.

Shekhar: Anurag has a train pass. He goes to America very often.

Prerna: Shut up.

Veena: Anurag, why do you tease her?

Prerna: Mom, did you see that? And you still tell me.

Veena: Stop it! There are many places to watch. Come on. Where is your dad?

Prerna: Dad will come soon.

Rajesh comes and treats everyone with kulfi.

Rajesh: How was the ride?

Anurag: It was so great that Prerna got ...

Prerna: Stop it.

Rajesh: I remember when we went to a fair in Chowpathy before marriage.

Veena: Yes, I remember. After sitting in the giant wheel, you were so scared that you were out of breath.

Everyone giggled.

Rajesh: Looking at you, darling.

Veena: Don't say in front of the kids.

Everyone went boating and had a quality time.

Rajesh and Veena go to the nearby temple while Prerna enjoys her kulfi.

Munna: this is the right time to confess your feelings to Prerna.

Anurag: It isn't quiet here. I want a calm place.

He sees Prerna walking and goes to her.

Prerna: Where is Munna?

Anurag: He's gone to buy the ice cream.

Prerna: Okay.

Anurag: If this is the right place, I want to tell you something.

Prerna: Yes, tell me.

Anurag nervously, "I want to say ..."

Prerna: Say fast. It's getting late. We need to go to Saksham's place to bring Gopika's proposal.

Anurag: Well, I want to say that even I was scared in that ride like you.

Prerna smiles: I knew it, liar!

She leaves.

Munna picked up Gopika in her workplace & came to Anurag.

Munna: Why didn't you tell her that you love her?

He punched Anurag

Anurag: Ouch

Prerna turned back & asked, "What happened?"

Anurag & Munna danced. Gopika laughs.

In the evening, everyone went to Saksham's house.

Mithila: Nice to see you all.

Veena: Nice to see you, too. There is a proposal for your son Saksham.

Mithila: That's great.

Rajesh: He is our family friend, Munna & she is Gopika. They lost their parents. But Munna worked hard to get Gopika educated. She is doing jewelry design now.

Mithila: I'm sorry to know that. I've brought up my son single-handedly ever since I lost my husband. However, by God's grace, our business is doing well.

Saksham comes downstairs. He sees Gopika & gets attracted to her.

Mithila: He's my son, Saksham

Munna: She's my sister, Gopika.

Saksham sat next to Mithila.

Mithila + Munna: You guys can talk to each other.

Saksham & Gopika go to the terrace.

Gopika: Nice view.

Saksham: I also like that place. I come to the terrace whenever I feel lonely.

Gopika: You are lucky to have a mother.

Saksham: I don't have any siblings. I like you and will share my mother with you after marriage. She will treat you as a daughter.

Gopika: I also like you. Munna will give you a brother's love.

Saksham & Gopika came downstairs.

Saksham: I like the girl & am willing to go ahead.

Gopika: I know the guy & am willing to marry him.

Mithila, Rajesh, & Veena went to Pundit to fix the engagement.

The next day, Prerna dances on the rocks. Bajaj sees the dance & is amazed.

Anurag saying that when one's life is black he will have a tendency to sell the tickets in black was interesting. Poor munna is selling tickets to manage money for his sister's wedding.anurag showed uncultured behaviour in the theatre abd fought there unnecessarily. He is still justifying himself.prerna is right.keeping legs on someone else's seat was bad.good that later anurag apologized and bought the tickets again.but shockingly prerna didn't care. Perfect pics.

Anupre imaginary dance was romantic. Munna is right.anurag ahould confess love to prerna. Anupre ride scene was funny.veena teasing rajesh was funny.good that munna's sister gopika got a nice proposal.will munna get a wife in this ff?gosham conversation was lovely.i am eager to know how their track will move.bajaj seeing prerna's dance was interesting.perfect pics.

Part 4 

Fantastic Update 

Anurag and Prerna can not agree on anything. They have different viewpoints.

He chickened out of confessing. There will never be the right time or place unless he makes it happen.

Part 6

Bajaj was amazed to see Prerna's dance, full of grace and elegance. 

He sits on the rock and watches her dance. After completing her dance, Prerna is surprised to see Bajaj.

Prerna: Mr. Bajaj!

Bajaj: Who are you?

Prerna: My name is Prerna

Bajaj: Nice name.

Prerna: I see you daily at the studio. Do you know Ms. Yamini Devi? I dance with her.

Bajaj walked towards Prerna and said, "Impressive. Come to the studio tomorrow at 10 am to meet the director."

Prerna: Thanks a lot, Mr. Bajaj.

Bajaj: You are welcome.

Prerna gets overjoyed as she gets a much-needed breakthrough and an opportunity to act with her favorite star, Mr. Rishabh Bajaj.

The next day, Bajaj reached the studio. The producer said, "Sonakshi is leaving the show."

The director said, "Sonakshi is one of the top actresses. She got a better offer. So she's quitting."

Director: It is an excellent idea that a top star is leaving for better prospects where she will get an opportunity to act with top film stars and eventually settle with one of them.

The producer said, "We need a good replacement."

At home, Prerna sits on the cot and reads the magazine. The phone rings. Prerna picked up the call.

The director said, "We are impressed with the dance that Bajaj recorded and showed us. Come to the studio right away."

Prerna gets elated and runs to brandstrand rocks, where Anurag is sitting. He sees Prerna and says, "Be careful."

Prerna reached Anurag and said, "I'm delighted. You won't believe it if I tell you."

Anurag: What happened?

Prerna: Do you know star Rishab Bajaj?

Anurag: So?

Prerna: He called me today.

Anurag: He called you? Why?

Prerna: Think.

Anurag: Please tell.

Prerna: Think about it.

Anurag: Am I an astrologer? Please tell.

Prerna: He is making a film with me as a heroine. I have to go in for a screen test tomorrow.

Anurag: That's unbelievable. What are you saying?

Prerna: Really! I swear. That's it, Anurag. Now watch it. I'll display my acting skills so well that it will impress the directors. Everyone will keep watching me. Yeah!

The next day, Prerna went to the studio for a screen test.

The choreographer and his men said, "Emoting through the eyes is the most critical aspect in acting. So, whatever dialogues you deliver, feel them. Immerse yourself completely into that character. Feel the emotions. Yes- bring it to that side."

Seeing a chaotic environment, the director said, "Silence, Please."

He asked, "Prerna, are you ready?"

Prerna: Yes Sir.

The shoot begins.

Prerna fumbles to deliver the dialogues.

The director said, "Cut it. One more."

Prerna fumbles yet again.

The director said, "Cut it. Take 11. Action."

Prerna fumbles. Tears roll out of her eyes.

The director said, "Cut it. Lights off."

Prerna goes to the room crying.

Bajaj went to Prerna and said, "Why do you have to cry? It happens to the best of the actors, including me."

Prerna: If I can't deliver even two lines outside, I have no right to come before the camera.

Bajaj: You needn't be so severe. We will cancel the shoot today, so you will have time to rehearse tomorrow's dialogues. We will do it tomorrow.

Kamolika enters.

Bajaj said, "Meet my fiancee, Kamolika." t

Prerna: Nice meeting you.

Kamolika: Nice meeting you, too. Is it the first film with Mr. Bajaj?

Prerna: Yes, you are right.

Prerna and Kamolika get into the car. They drop Prerna at her house and go on a date.

They went to a luxurious hotel.

Kamolika: I wish to act with you as I get uncomfortable when you act with Sujal, Rakesh, and others. You are mine.

Rishab: Of course, I'm yours. Everyone knows that we are going to get married. It was fine when we weren't committed to each other. But got engaged. So the public won't enjoy our movies. It's better if we don't mix up personal lives with work. You've got to trust just as I trust you when you act with other male leads. Once we marry, we will make movies and hire young artists. It is just a matter of two weeks, but you must bear it till then.

Bajaj and Kamolika spent quality time in the hotel and went home.

Meanwhile, Anurag sings, "Aa Laut Ke Aaja mere mean..."

The doorbell rings.

Anurag: Anurag is not at home.

Prerna: It's me.

Anurag got up and opened the door. Prerna enters.

Prerna: Hold the paper.

Anurag took the paper & said, "What should I do?

Prerna: Whatever are the dialogues of Rakesh, you say that.

Anurag: Who is that Rakesh?

Prerna: He is the hero of the movie. You read the dialogues after me. Let's start now.

Prerna delivers the heroine's dialogue.

Anurag looks at the paper blank.

Prerna: says the ladt dialog, "I'm shocked."

Anurag looked at the paper & is struggling to understand.

Prerna: Please read Rakesh's dialogues.

Anurag reads, but it doesn't come naturally.

Prerna: Give me the paper. How are you reading? Please say it with emotions.

Anurag: What will I read with emotions? First of all, I don't know who is Rakesh. On top of that, you suddenly handed the paper to me, and you are shouting at me now. I won't read the dialogue.

Prerna: Fine, don't read.

Anurag: Yes, I won't read.

Prerna: Don't do anything.

She cries. Anurag turned back.

Prerna: Do you know what happened at the shoot today? I say such big things here, but I fumbled in front of the public. I could not deliver a single dialogue. Nothing. I forgot everything out of my nervousness & was standing like a zombie there. It was because of Mr. Bajaj that I got another chance. They called me at nine the next day, which is now 11 pm. I wanted to rehearse with someone. That's why I came to you. If you don't help me, who will help?

Anurag: Hey, Prerna. Why are you crying for a small thing? How would I know it was so important to you? I'll reread the dialogue.

He took the paper and said, "I will train you in such a way that you will confidently deliver the dialogues."

Anurag helped Prerna to rehearse the dialogues.

The next day, Prerna delivered the dialogues with confidence. Everyone clapped their hands.

Director: Fantastic! Excellent work.

Bajaj shows his thumbs up to Prerna.

Anurag is standing near the bus stop and waits for the bus. He asked the neighboring guy, "What's the time?"

The neighbor said, "5:30 pm."

Anurag waits for the bus, but the wrong bus comes, which frustrates Anurag.

Prerna came running to Anurag. The latter hears Prerna's voice and sees her ecstatic.

Prerna: Close your eyes.

Anurag closed his eyes.

Prerna took the check and said, "Open your eyes now."

Anurag opened his eyes and was happy to see the check.

Prerna: I got the heroine's role.

Anurag: Didn't I tell you that my training will work?

Prerna: Of course, the credit goes to you.

He carried Prerna in his arms. Both start dancing.

Anurag: We must go to Munna and give him the good news.

He went to Munna's house and said, "Stich, a nice suit for me as I will treat Prerna and propose to her. I want it within 4 hours."

Munna said, "It is a short time."

Anurag: Prerna became a heroine. So it's time for us to celebrate.

Munna: If that's the case, I will complete the stitching within four hours.

He went home and met Vidya and Rajesh.

Anurag: It's time for us to change the paints as your daughter became a heroine.

Rajesh + Vidya: That's great. We will renovate this house into a villa.

Anurag is about to go to Munna to pick up his clothes. Prerna came to Anurag in a white gown. Anurag saw that and was mesmerized by her beauty.

Prerna: How do I look?

Anurag: You look gorgeous.

Prerna: Oh, the car has come. We need to go to the party.

Prerna leaves.

Rajesh: For what are they giving the party?

Veena: Prerna's film with Rishab, named Mr. Bond, became a golden jubilee. So we are going to that spot. The directors have sent the vehicle.

Suddenly, Prerna comes. She said, "The production house sent the car. So we must be quick to catch up with them."

She got into the car & went to the party.

Anurag stood on the balcony and waited for Prerna to treat her in the homely but luxurious hotel.

Munna comes to Anurag & gives him the stitched clothes.

Prerna went to the party. She sees many boys & girls taking autographs from Bajaj.

A clerk met Prerna in a drunk & said, "The entire industry belongs to me. Rekha is Rekha because of me. I taught Sridevi to speak in Hindi & got Zanjheer film for Amitabh Bachchan."

Suddenly, the producer came & said, "I am the producer. How dare you impersonate me?"

He starts hitting the clerk.

Prerna & Bajaj went near the garden and laughed.

Prerna: He was lying so much as if he knew the celebrities from childhood.

Bajaj: Yes, you will find more weird people in this industry.

Prerna: But I've not come here to tell you my story. I love films. I feel that we get to see a big world in our daily lives. Everything is beautiful here, including music, dance, photography, and story. That's why I love films.

Bajaj: Who are there in your family?

Prerna: My father, mother & younger brother stay at my place. But he is hilarious. He is uninterested in films, but if a film song is coming on TV, he searches for me among the dancers. Who is staying at your place?

Bajaj doesn't reply. He said, "Let's make a move now."

Prerna leaves for the day.
