Rock On!! (2008) - full transcript

-Standard four-by-four groove.
-Sure... entry chord, D major?

Rob doesn't know a thing about keyboards.
He begins every song in D major

Adi, have you written any lyrics?

-Yeah. -You know, there are so
many things in life we hardly think of..

Simple things

Why is the sky blue?
Why is water so wet?

Why is the earth round?
And so on and so forth.

Rob, let's start it with a good riff.

Then I'll introduce texture..

How's that, KD?

Joe starts with the riff,
then keyboards...



I'll kick in with the drums
and then Aditya, you can take over

No one takes over in this band

That's why we're called Magik

Why is the sky blue?
Why is water wet?

Why is the earth round?

What makes silk soft?
What makes fire hot?

Why doesn't two
and two make five?

Why are trees vanishing?
Why do we have three seasons?

Why don't we have two moons?

Why is there war?
Why flows the red?

And borders everywhere?

Ever wondered...
have you?

Ever wondered...
what's this all about?

Ever wondered...?
If you haven't, then do it now



Why do all rivers flow?
What's light, d'you know?

What makes snow fall?

Why do friends keep falling out?
Why do stars fall?

Why is there lightning in clouds?

Ever wondered...
have you?

Ever wondered...
what's this all about?

Ever wondered...?
If you haven't, then do it now

Silence can't be heard

And the wind can't be seen

Ever wondered...
why does it happen?

Why skies are blue?
Why is water wet?

Why is the earth round?

What makes silk soft?
What makes fire hot?

Why don't two and two make five?

Why are trees vanishing?
Why are there only three seasons?

Why aren't there two moons?

Why is there war?
Why flows the red?

Why are borders everywhere?

Ever wondered...
have you?

Ever wondered...
what's this all about?

Ever wondered...?
If you haven't, then do it now

Ever wondered...
have you?

Ever wondered...
what's this all about?

Ever wondered...?
If you haven't, then do it now

A son tells his father,

"Papa, Mummy thinks you're an angel"

The father asks,
"Really, Mummy said that?"

The son says,
"She said, you've sprouted wings"

Come on, Andy. It's time for bed.
You'll be late for school tomorrow

Come on

The flute you used in this song
...it's fantastic!

It'll drive people crazy.
They'll go mad!

Anyway, can I go now, Anu-ji?

Devika asked if we're going to
join them in Alibaug for the weekend

I won't be able to make it.
You should go

She has invited both of us.
Please, come on Adi

It's been over a year
since we went on holiday

I might go to Hong Kong in August

Come along..
If you wish

Good morning, sir

Come

-Who was that?
-Met him in Goa at Singhi's party

Followed me all the way to Bombay

In single-minded pursuit?

Who knows, he might write
a chapter on me

That's creative types for you

Anyway, Aditya and you
are coming to Alibaug, aren't you?

No... Aditya can't come

God! Is he married to you or his job?

Hey, did I say something wrong?

I mean... you're neither interested
in what I say, nor in what I design?

Are they so awful?

Sometimes when I see you...
I feel jealous

You're living the life you want

An interior designer... independent

With writers chasing you
all the way from Goa

You're saying this?

You are happily married,
making a home

Remember, it was you who told me,
"I'm happily married"

Yes, happily married and...
perhaps a mother soon

Aditya must be jumping with joy...

No... l haven't told him yet

I thought, before l shock him with it,
I'd better confirm with a gynecologist

What shock?
Don't you two want a baby?

No, that's not it...

It's just that... only Aditya knows
what he does or doesn't want

When I think of it, it's like
living with a stranger..

..who loves me,
who cares for me..

..but I'll never know
what's in his heart and soul

You'll only find stock market quotes

I don't know Devika,
maybe I'm just nervous about this baby

Anyway, I'll have to tell him,
sooner or later...

..maybe on his birthday.
-Next week, isn't it?

I want to buy him a gift.

-Have you had lunch?
-I've been waiting for you

You remember your promise
... the new tune

But I'll teach it to you, only when you
play the earlier tune without mistakes

Come on, before Mummy goes...

Deliver the goods to Kadam's right now

And come back with the money,
even if you have to wait all day

But get the money today.
Got it? Now go

Leave the goods here.
Come and take your money tomorrow

Madam, l need the money now

Why do you hassle me every day? Didn't
I tell you? Come tomorrow at eleven

-Eleven o'clock? -Yes
-For sure? -Yes

-Andy, how was school today?
-Like it is everyday

Funny.
Sit down for lunch

The fisherwomen were here again.
They really hound me

How much they complain!

What do I do?
There's less fish, the rates are lower,.

..the wholesale rate is down.
What profit?

Same old fish again...

..every day the same, same food

Sorry Nana, I can't do any better

Doing the accounts all day,
listening to the fisherwomen...

Where's the time to cook?

I mean, just smell my hands, Joe

This goddamn fish smell never goes!

Did Lionel call you back
about that show?

No

Why don't you call him?

Joe please, we need the money.
There're endless bills to pay

But no one watches Lionel Uncle's shows.

He doesn't even know how to tune a guitar

Playing the guitar there
won't demean you in any way

We Mascarenhas' have never done
anything so cheap

Why haven't you sent the necklace set?

You were responsible for the delivery

Girish Bhai has called four times today.
What do I say to him?

Kedar...?

Do you think,
saying sorry makes it okay?

You'll deliver it
personally this evening.

Understood?
Go

Devika, this is perfect

Give me Girish Bhai's package

Can you inscribe "Aditya" on the back?
And 22nd July

Aditya, 22nd July?

Why? Can't it be done?

It's not that...

Actually, I had a friend, Aditya.
His birthday is also on 22nd July

This Aditya...?

He's my husband

His full name?

Aditya Shroff

Aditya Shroff...

Is he fair and lean..

Has long hair, short sighted
but won't wear specs...

and writes wonderful poetry?

Poetry? You're definitely
talking of some other Aditya

I'm sorry, I think I got carried away

It'll be ready by day after... right?

Same name, same birthday...?

-Too much of a coincidence.
-You're right

What's your name?
I'll tell my husband

Killer Drummer.
If he's the same Aditya, he'll know

Jignesh Bhai, have you ever been unhappy
about your investments with us?

It's a done deal, boss

We manage most of the
foreign investments in the market

We're picking up huge stakes
in the infrastructure sector

Yes... India is booming, sir

Sleep without a care.
Your wealth is in safe hands

Sure

My best to your wife.
God be with you

Mr. Bajaj would like to meet you
on the fourteenth floor

The management has decided to
promote you

Why don't we celebrate your
promotion and birthday together?

No, don't bother throwing a party

I'll just take my colleagues
out to lunch tomorrow

Whenever you make any plans,
it's with your colleagues

Is your social life
incomplete without them?

Sakshi... that's life

By the way,
a strange thing happened today

Do you know any Killer Drummer?

Do you know a guy called
Killer Drummer?

No

Killer Drummer...
strange name, isn't it?

Where did you meet him?

At a jewellery store

Devika needed to buy something
and we were talking about you

... and he said he knew an
Aditya Shroff who wrote poetry

And as we spoke, I discovered that
the other Aditya Shroff's birthday...

is also on 22nd July

Strange, isn't it?

Sleep now

Sinbad the Sailor sailed away
one day...

looking for his... na na na na... way

One minute...

Not quite right?

Shall we try something new, Rob?

KD, you start
and I'll join you on the fourth bar

Joe broke the glass

Debbie boxed his ears

We all laughed
at how you got stuck

And just like that,
Joe left the band

Packed my business cards?
-Yeah

Namdeo

Where were you?

Get another bag

Adi, you go on

I'll send your suitcase
to the office

Okay, get another bag from the loft

Wait... I’ll come too

God knows what junk is up there

Take this box out,
give it away

Wait... these too

What's that package up there?
Bring it down

Put it here

Open it

Okay, I'll check it

I left some papers on the side table.
Please put them away, they're important

So, I was right!

Where is Aditya these days?
What's he doing now?

-You should have brought him along.
-He's away in Delhi

I'm planning a surprise party at home
for him on May 22nd

If you and the rest of your band
can come, it'll be great

We should've had a reunion
a long time ago

But I had no idea that Aditya
was in Bombay

And it's been ages since
I've spoken to Rob and Joe

Anyway, did Aditya say
anything about us?

No, I was hoping you'd tell me more

-I found these.
-Oh my God!

It's impossible to recognise him

And this is you?
You're looking so wild

Everything's changed,
my hairstyle most definitely

That's Joe.
Our lead guitarist

Aditya always said,
Joe's fingers made magik

Joe said the same
about Aditya's voice

That's why our band was called Magik

Magik?

You know, when Aditya arrived in Bombay,
he lived with Joe for three months

Rob, he is our band's backbone

He did all the programming
and the bass sections

I'm sure you know this poet

Suddenly, one day he says,
"Let's go to Goa"

No packing, nothing.
Just go

And we just set off

Aditya's dream, was that Magik would have
a tour bus and we'd just head off

There'd be no turning back

And all of us believed
it would turn out exactly like that

In our twenties, we think
the world will dance to our tune

Sorry, I'm boring you with all this talk

No. You've told me so much.
Thanks

I'll talk to Rob and Joe.
I can't guarantee they'll come

But I'll definitely come.
-Please try and bring them

What was it 241 2 3489 or 59?

It takes you so long
to pick up the phone?

Yes

-Where are you?
-When can you meet me?

-Just tell me where.
-Jazz by the bay. Nine thirty

KD, turn down the volume

That was my friend from Channel V.
I styled some of his shows

He called with some special news

-You're really lucky
-Shut up, KD

There's going to be a contest

The winning band gets to cut an album
and make a music video

We'll need new equipment

Good cymbals for KD.
A new mike for you, Adi

You need a new distortion pedal

And for me, another tea

Uncle Khursheed, one more tea

In all, we'll need about
fifty five thousand

The band's savings are
twenty thousand

Maybe I can wangle five thousand from dad

That makes twenty five thousand.
Which leaves...

Thirty thousand.
Einstein!

I have some cash...

..about three or four thousand...
-Really?

I can give you that

I've got about the same

Adi, can't you ask your Dad?

He won't give it. I know

Punishing me for not doing an MBA

Dads...

There's a way out.
Raghav Yedekar

Sounds like a goon...

He organizes shows.
Music from old films

Totally different from our music
The audience is different too

Old film music?

We'll need a sitar, harmonium, ten tabalas!
Guitars and keyboards won't do

Really Rob, I can't do it either

Hang on, Joe

Who says we can't play old songs
on guitars and drums?

We'll choose our songs
and do them in our style

With the Magik touch

Like breath is needed...

Like breath is needed for life

Yes, a sweetheart is needed,

for love

Like a flame is needed,

Like a flame is needed,
for light

Yes, a sweetheart is needed,

for love

This day comes,
in the season of youth

When eyes meet eyes,
even water catches fire

This day comes,
in the season of youth

I'm going to take you high, my baby

Fly with me

Fly high

So, Aditya doesn't know about the party?

That's what a surprise is all about

Let's see how he takes the surprise

-I'm in.
-Good

So what other news...?

Saw an ad on TV some time ago,
the music sounded like yours

You're really lucky, Rob

Still making music after all these years

Don't know how to do anything else, KD

And you? Still drumming?

I don't remember the last time
I touched drumsticks

But now you can afford
the world's best drum kit

Yes, I can

-And l don't even have to go to
a Dandiya-dance. -Dandiya?

Yeah! We bought equipment out of
our performance at the Dandiya!

How can I tell you...
what my heart says

You'd think, maybe I'm insane

How can I tell you
what my heart says

You'd think, maybe I'm insane

I want to get to the
top of the TV tower

Scream out loud and say...

Rock On!
It's the sign of the times

Rock On!
Every moment beckons

Rock On!
What are you waiting for

Rock On!
You only live once

My heart tells me...
to scream out loud

Everyone.. should open their windows

Then I'll sing them my spirited songs

Let them join in and raise the cry

Rock On!
It's the sign of the times

Rock On!
Every moment beckons

Rock On!
What are you waiting for

Rock On!
You only live once

Just live your life...
the way you always wanted to

All I've got to say is...

make every single one
of your dreams come true!

Welcome to Channel V's Launchpad

From Bangalore, this is Chakravyuh

The world's full of snakes

They bite everyone

Sitting upon their coils

Hood outstretched

Snakes hiss

Toxic

Blacks, blues, yellows

Eyes of stone...

and sharp fangs

The world
is a jungle of snakes

There's a hood in every face

Sitting upon their coils,

hood outstretched,

hissing, waiting to strike

Toxic!

Blacks, blues, yellows

Eyes of stone...

and sharp fangs

All right! Let's hear it for Chakravyuh

Now, our next band,
from right here in Bombay

Fans say, there's magik in their music

Bombay, are you ready for them?

That's more like it

Let's welcome on stage, Magik

I need your help for the next song

Will you sing with me?

Put your hands together

Everybody, sing with me

Way to go

Now... sing when I raise my hand

One of my laundry bills...
An unfinished novel...

A girl's phone number...
A useful piece of paper...

In my deck, a king of hearts...

And one of my silver rings...

When I look at
what I lost this last week

Some days I laughed at myself
and some days I cried

One of my laundry bills
An unfinished novel

A girl's phone number
A useful piece of paper

In my deck, a king of hearts

And one of my silver rings

When I look at
what I lost this last week

Some days I laughed at myself
Some days I cried

I got a gift, a watch...
that I loved so much

A packet of Mary Jane
My old denim jacket

Two passes for a cricket match

My brand new sunglasses

When I look at
what I lost this last week

Some days I laughed at myself
and some days I cried

How...
do I forget?

On day seven, someone introduced you
to me at a party

What was in the moment...
when I saw you for the first time

When we first met...

I felt what love was

I lost my senses...
and my heart too

Some days I laughed at myself
and some days I cried

That was everything I lost
this last week

Put your hands together

One of my laundry bills
An unfinished novel

A girl's phone number
A useful piece of paper

One of my laundry bills
An unfinished novel

A girl's phone number
A useful piece of paper

When I met you first

I felt.. what love was

I lost my senses and
my heart too

Some days I laughed at myself
and some days I cried

Now's the time to find out
who the winner of the contest is

The winners get an album contract.

And at least one music video

I'm all nerves

Can you tell...

..which lucky band's name
is in this envelope?

Magik

Picture this...

Someone insults Aditya
and Joe breaks out in a rash

And now...

Where's Joe these days?

Ran into him some months ago,
at Purple Haze Studio

He has so much talent,
but business sense... zero

Joe... when will he learn
it's important to market oneself?

Let's go meet him

It'll be great if you invite him
to Aditya's party

No, don't try to use me to do this

Come on Rob, you always knew
how to handle them

I mean, that was why
we tolerated you in the band

Anybody in?

-Oh my God... -KD?
-Wow... Joe!

How are you?

How're you doing?

All okay?

Getting along

I teach guitar to kids
in the neighbourhood

And once in a while,
I perform live at a club

-It's all good, man
-Good?

You're still performing on stage!
That's fantastic, Joe

It's nothing like those concerts

Here, people hang around,
party, talk, drink

What I'm playing makes
no difference to them

I played in a club once

I got so angry, felt like
hurling my keyboard at the crowd

You should have

That way your keyboard
would've been of some use

Did you know Aditya is also here
in Bombay

Really...?

No... how would I know?

His wife came to my store

And...

She has invited us home

For Aditya's birthday party

22nd...?

Look who's here

-Who's this?
-Andrew

Magik's drummer?

-How old is he?
-He'll turn eight this year

Debbie, I'll hand it to you!

You don't look like the mother
of an eight year old

But in that outfit, you look
like a typical businessman

Even Rob looks different
in his close crop, doesn't he?

Long hair is no longer in fashion

You're saying this?

Someone who'd brush his hair
before brushing his teeth!

Why don't you just admit it,
you're losing your hair

Show me how you'd flick the
sticks in the air and catch them

-Hey, who told you?
-Who else?

At bedtime, Andy listens to
only one story. Magik's

Debbie, we're planning a reunion.
Next week. At Aditya's

Why don't you join us
and bring Andrew along

Reunion?

So the two of you are here with
a message from Aditya, the star?

It's not like that, Debbie

All these years you weren't
even in touch. Why now?

Debbie is really stressed out
because of work

She doesn't mean it, you know that

Next time, I'll show you
the magik of drumsticks

Say bye, Andy

It'll be good if you guys come.
Think about it. Okay?

They come around after years,
that too with an invite from Aditya

If it was so important,
couldn't he have phoned himself?

It's a surprise party, Debbie.
His wife is organizing it

Keep away from them

Being with them was
always bad for you

Last time, you got hurt

God knows what they want now!

Nobody hurt me

I was the one who quit

You're defending them now?

So they call and you go,
tail wagging?

Is that right?

No, Debbie

I'll wear a collar and
stay right by you.

You think that I...?

Do whatever you want

Listen, you better tell the music company
that I'm styling Magik's video

Or you'll end up wearing
these shorts and a T-shirt

What's wrong with my shorts?

Showing my legs only adds
to the sex appeal of the video

This is our big break

Our lottery ticket to the future

Now we have to get the right numbers

When you're around...
I feel like...

I've found every joy

When you're gone...

It feels like...

every joy has faded

You’re the one...

my life needs

You're a poet
and we didn't even know it

It's a great tune

We need another song for the album
and l think we've found it

Yes, Adi?

I want to dedicate it to Debbie

It'll be your wedding anthem

When it's played in church,
all will rise

Tell me seriously,
what do you think of the song?

And when you sing it in your style,
it'll be even better

Thanks, brother

Adi...

When we meet the music company guys,

make sure you tell them
about Debbie styling our music video

You could tell them yourself

Yeah, but she's my girlfriend and...

it'll be a little odd

You'll tell them, won't you?

Of course, I will

Here's your gift

There's another surprise for you

We're not ghosts

I'll join you

Just... take care of them

Thanks for coming.
I'm glad you came

Aditya is happy too, of course

He's forever busy with work

I hope you're fine?

Yes, we're good

Your drink...?
-I'm fine, thank you

Your friends are getting bored

What do I do?
We have other guests as well

All right, I'm going

When did you pick up this habit?

Well...

Cigarettes are rotten for your voice

What does my voice have to do
with investment banking?

Remember losing your voice
before a show once, in college...

and Debbie forcing you to drink
that re-mixed herbal tonic

I'll never forget your face

Whatever it was, it was effective

She also gave you some medicine
to improve memory, didn't she?

Didn't help, did it?

What do you mean?

I still remember, she was the one

Joe didn't come?
-Must be on his way...

Why don't you call him and
check where he is?

Obviously, Sakshi doesn't know
much about Magik

Never felt the need to tell her

sometimes, it feels as if
it all happened in another lifetime...

and sometimes as if, just yesterday

Why don't we get together again
at our old rehearsal pad?

Sounds like a great idea

Tomorrow's Sunday.
Let's do it

But first, we'll meet at Army Cafe

Come off it

One o'clock?

Come on. Rob, you, me...
even Joe will turn up

The four of us, together again

Why do we need four?

Even two or three can jam together

But it won't be Magik

I wish your friend Joe had come

How did you like meeting your friends?

Sakshi, you shouldn't have invited them

Why?

Why did you tell me that
you didn't know them?

Because I don't know them anymore

We have drifted apart

You saw it too...
how uncomfortable they were

They were our guests

And guests feel as comfortable
as we make them

I felt you were the uncomfortable one

Why are you getting involved
in these things?

Just let it be

Look...

Isn't that you?

I thought that if you met your
friends again, you'd feel good

Maybe, it would bring back this smile

Why are you spying?

Spying?

I want to see you happy

By going through my things?

Stop it! What's come over you?

Look at yourself! What you were,
what you've become?

In ten years, people change

I'm not the Aditya you see
in these pictures

You're right...
the man in these pictures is happy

I'm happy even today

If you're happy,
then why don't l feel it?

Why does it feel like you're
living a mechanical life?

Now you have a problem with my life?

Not I.
You have a problem with your life

That's why you keep me at a distance

Why do you feel so bad about
me seeing these pictures?

These pictures mean nothing

Then why have you kept them
so carefully?

-You could have thrown them away
or burnt them. -Is that it?

Destroy them.
Makes no difference to me

I cut these ties a long time ago

Maybe you lost a lot
when you cut these ties?

-Have you thought of that?
-What have l lost?

Only you know that

If something's disturbing you...

Damn it, Sakshi!
Think what you want

Ten years ago, I chose this life

Yes, I made some compromises...
but who doesn't?

Am I one of the compromises in your life?

Is our marriage also a compromise?

-That's not what I meant...
-That's exactly what it is, Aditya

Don't you see, you're angry with yourself

And your anger is
hurting our relationship

I want to be a part of your life

But how is it possible when
you're living only half a life!

And to make my life complete,
you invited them here?

I made a mistake

I thought you'd be happy
to meet your friends

And then I was going to tell you
that you're going to be a father

What?

Yes Aditya. But what a pity...

Now I don't even know,
if hearing this makes you happy or not

"I'm going to Mum's house."

"I need time to think."

Hello, Nana

I knew I'd find you here

Why didn't you come yesterday?

You know why

No Joe, I don't know

Look, whatever happened ten years ago
affected all our lives

The difference is, KD and I accepted it

But you couldn't

And guess what, nor has Aditya

Success, failure...
these things come and go

We got together to fulfill our dream,
our passion to create music

But you forgot that

Being successful was most
important for you

Isn't success important?

Don't you see that your success
lay in Magik's success?

Imagine, where we'd all be today
if all that hadn't happened

What do you want from me?

What can I do now?

We're meeting today.

One o'clock, at Uncle Khursheed's cafe

Life doesn't give everyone
a second chance

One o'clock.
See you there

Clean up table number two.
-All right

Uncle Khursheed...

Recognise me?

No

One tea, please

Dilip, one tea

Thank you

Did Adi have to be
late today of all days?

-There
-Sorry I'm late, guys

Come on... only two minutes left

Breathe, man

Don't forget to tell them about Debbie

-Don't forget man, it's really important
-I won't forget, Joe

Please! Don't make me more nervous.
Come on

Okay

So how do you feel?

We're confident. Just show us
the way to the recording studio

Look kids... just recording the music
doesn't make it a hit

Music must cater to public taste

But... you liked our music, didn't you?

It's good...

But could be better...
much, much, much better

A popular number

I'll get it from you, of course

October to January is
the wedding season, right?

Let's take a hit wedding song...

and do a rock remix

But...

a wedding remix in a rock album...?

Why... is it against the law to do that?

Everything goes

The main thing is,
the album should be a hit

We'll take the slow song out...
it won't work

You know, the one which goes,

"If you're there, I'm here or not here..."

It's the only soft, romantic ballad
that gives our album some depth

Nowadays this doesn't sell, kid

Tempo... give me tempo

Today's youth want songs with tempo,
bubbly stuff

If you agree with what I'm saying...

Here's the contract

You see boys...

In life, one needs to make
some compromises

Seven out of eight songs
are of your choice

And one...

that I want

Besides, there's no dearth of
talent in the market

Well done. Congratulations

Another thing.

We have a friend, Debbie.
She does costumes and styling

We were hoping, you could use her
for our music video

Relax! Now you're the
responsibility of this company

Forget all these people

At least meet her once

You get to work in the recording studio
and let us do our work

I feel terrible about Joe's
song being rejected

It's not just about my song

It's our debut album

To push a stupid remix into it...

I think we're making
a very big compromise

In that case, we shouldn't have signed

But now that we have, there's really
no point in talking about it

If we hadn't done it,
someone else would have

I'm so sorry about your song, Joe.

No. I'm sorry, Debbie
They won't let you do the styling

They say, they already have someone

But they haven't even seen her work!

Seven out of eight songs selected.
It's not that bad

Unfortunately, we need them now

Once this album is a hit,
we'll be free to do whatever we want

You're about to record your first album.

What more do we want?

Sweetheart, it leaves me cold

Do something, darling

So why don't you tell me what to play.
I'll do as you say

Go on

Mr. Sukhani...

Have you worked on a lot of albums?

Boss, l tell you...

the Subhash Ghai film Karz,
starring Rishi Kapoor...

All of you, out

Now, Aditya's close ups

Your shot's done?
But you just went in...

Aditya's close ups again

We look like clowns in these clothes.
Why couldn't they let you style us?

And this director...
keeps asking me to jump

If I keep jumping,
when will I play the keyboards?

Aditya, take a break.

What's the matter?

You'd see what the matter is Aditya...

if you'd only take off
your rock star shades

What... maybe you didn't notice?
The director's focusing only on you

The three of us are in the background,
like sidekicks

That too in these costumes.

-Do we look like a rock band?
-Do you think I’m happy in these clothes?

Drop it, Joe

Aditya is our lead singer
he has to be the focus

Whatever's happening here, isn't right

No one takes over in Magik!

Remember? Your words

One chance at getting famous
and you forget all your principles

Let's talk in the make-up room.
Come on, please

You think I knew this would happen
when we signed the contract?

But I'm a professional, Joe.
Maybe you should try to be one

You've sold out

That director was treating us so badly.
Did you stop him even once?

Hello... what's going on here?

This studio doesn't come for free

We need a short break.
We've got something to discuss

Discussions later, darling.
The shoot is held up

-Come on guys.
-Please go away

I said, please go away

Darling

Keep this attitude of yours at home

You signed a contract,
you'll do as l say

Got it? Come on, darling

Joe! Have you gone mad?

Blood! It's blood!

Get lost!
I don't want to know!

Damn your album!

Magik is finished!
Pack up!

I'll make sure you're finished!

I am Sukhani!

To hell with your contract...

I quit

After all these years...

nothing's changed here.

It's been a long time

Joe?

You're here after ages! All okay?

Fine, Uncle Khursheed. How are you?

I'm great, perfect

A tea, please.
-Sure

Prepare a nice tea and bring for him.

What a sharp memory.
So long, and he still hasn't forgotten

It's the guitar.
You carry it everywhere

So it stays in the mind

Are they coming?

Bloody hell, man

Your jeep is still alive?

Of course. Together, in life and death!

Was that too much?

When did you get here?

Ten minutes ago

-Where's Adi? Should I
call him? -No, KD

He'll come if he wants to

I don't really understand what happened

Everything was perfect and then suddenly,
it just all went wrong?

Perhaps you never noticed
that something was troubling her?

Notice what?

What does she have to
complain about me?

For four years,
we've shared everything...

-What more can I do?
-Lots

You may have been sharing a home
But you aren't sharing your lives

Sakshi still feels
that you're a stranger..

..about whom she knows nothing

And her feelings got stronger
when she discovered those photographs

It's been ten years

When will it stop chasing me?

When you stop running

I guess we should go

Did you really think he'd come?

Shall we try something?

Sure

Shall we begin?

One of my laundry bills...

An unfinished novel...

A girl's phone number...

A useful piece of paper...

In my deck,

a king of hearts

And one of my silver rings...

When I... this last...

The right pitch is two notes higher

Is that so?

Why don't you show us?

One of my laundry bills...

An unfinished novel...

A girl's phone number...

A useful piece of paper...

In my deck, a king of hearts...

And one of my silver rings...

When I look at
what I lost this last week

Some days I laughed at myself
and some days I cried

Sorry, I couldn't make it
to your party last night

Let's not get too sentimental

But not here.
Look at the state of this place

Why?

Too used to air-conditioning now?

You've lost your hair,
what difference will it make to you?

Guys... let's go to my place

Anyone coming to help?
I'm not twenty five any more

You were right, I am upset with life

But if you're going to
ignore me like this,..

..my relationship with
life will only get worse

You were right.
I've been living only half a life

But if you leave like this,
even that half-a-life will be no more

Yes you're right,
I keep you at a distance

But today the distance is so wide that...

I'm talking to your answering machine
and not to you

I never thought this would happen

Please come home, Sakshi

Good afternoon, sir

How are you, Bahadur?
-Fine, sir

Put it down here

Namdeo, get the extension board as well

-Adi... here?
-Yes

I mean, everything looks so perfect here

Adi, are you allowed?

KD... this is my home

Thank you for coming to
Magik Re-united's first concert

On lead guitar, we have Joe.
Nowadays, he attends very few parties

Down there...
-Okay

Our conversations...
I wish, they go on forever

Our sweet meetings...
I hope, they go on forever

Remember?

Of course, but we never finished
composing it. Let's try?

One moment... Rob

-Remember Sindbad the Sailor?
-Yes

Scale?

In conversations,
we'll find new words of love

Then, with those words...

we'll write a song

A song...

that fills hearts...
all hearts...

with love

Let our words...
become songs

And let the words...
melt into tunes

I didn't know you had
so much hidden talent

There's a hotshot producer here.
Meet him today

Sorry, not today.
Some other time

I have to leave, it's urgent

-Are you sure?
-Yes

To turn sorrow into joy,

sing that song of love

And anyone who hears
our song will say...

Sing again

Our conversations...

I wish, they go on forever

Our sweet meetings

I hope, they go on forever

For all our days and nights...
forever

In conversations,

we'll find new words of love

Then, with those words...

we'll write a song

A song...

that fills hearts...

all hearts...

with love

Let our words...
become songs

And let words...

in our conversations...
melt into tunes

Here. That settles your account

Where are you going?
You have to pick up Andrew from school

Will you pick him up today, please?

What's happening?
You've been staying out all day

I was...

going to the studio...
I might land some work

Studio?

Purple Haze, in Bandra.
Rob has fixed some meetings

Oh... oh really?

You keep saying that
I ought to look for work

So, in the past few weeks I've
been doing the rounds of studios

Okay... fine

Okay... bye

I'm on, Rob

Hi guys...
-Hey, Joe

Hi Joe! Look, channel V's talent hunt
is up next month, on the 24th

Winners get an album contract

What do you say?
Should we enter?

One minute

Jamming indoors is one thing,
performing on stage is quite another

After all these years,
can we perform on stage?

Why not?

What's time got to do with rock and roll?

KD, I know you so well.
You'll do all this, just to impress girls

Sakshi, if it impresses
your friend Devika...

I have no problem

I'll see to it your message reaches her

Seriously guys,
are we taking part in this contest?

I don't know, man

But I do

Yes, Joe
This is my last chance

And I don't want to throw it away

Just think, it's not as if we have
to prove anything to the world

If we do this, it's only for ourselves...

to finish the journey we
began ten years ago

For Magik?

For Magik

Wow! When is the contest?
Can I come?

I haven't told Mummy about it yet
-Why?

I want to give her a surprise...

So keep it...

zipped

Debbie...
-One second

I've something to tell you...

Okay, great. Joe's here too.
I'll talk to him and call you back

That was Sandra.
Remember her?

Her husband Pete is a chef
on the Blue Line Cruise

His ship is on a six month voyage,
round-the-world

They need musicians.
The money is very good

Pete has already spoken for you.
Just contact them

So you've planned to exile me?

Stop joking!
Where will you find a better offer?

Just imagine, you get to travel the world

The company provides bed and board.
All you have to do is play the guitar

And make money

When is it sailing?

On the 24th of next month, l think

24th...?

Yes, I think so. But before that
you have to do an audition

Audition?

Joe, come on. They don't know
how well you play the guitar

I'm telling you,
when they hear you, they'll love it

Yeah...
-You'll get the job really easily

Rob has learnt it nicely
from Anu Malik

We still have our magik touch

Steaming hot

-That song sounds definitely better.
-But it can become...

"Much, much, much better"

Which reminds me...
are we going to Channel V tomorrow?

What time?
-Four thirty

But don't worry.
This time, we just fill up some forms

A slight headache.
It's okay

No thanks. I took pills in the morning

Pills... what are your plans
after the rehearsal?

I heard you guys broke up?

Guess, I was wrong

Actually, we were on a break
But now, we're back

Getting to see you up on stage
will be pretty cool

And just look at your luck

This time, there's no competition

Especially since Chakravyuh
has stopped performing

You're the lucky one

You lost then and this time,
you wouldn't stand a chance

Well, you can't win everything in life

Anyway, the channel is hosting a party
tomorrow night for the contestants

If you guys are free,
why don't you come along?

I'm getting tired
of being a culture bandit

and oh... it's funny and sick
recalling all the ways

Yesterday, we went for the sonography

-It's beautiful.
-Yes, it's a great feeling

KD, where's Rob?
-He should be here anytime

Looking good, KD
-Thanks

And you always look great, Devika

"Tanya, after what happened
today, it's best that l leave."

"When I'll meet you again, I can't say."

What are you doing here?

The last time we met... was...
-Ages

How's Debbie?
-She's fine

Of course, you know each other

Remember, he and Joe scrapped...

We were so immature

Back then, even I thought
Ajay was a little weird

But after we became friends,
I got to know he's a nice guy

Tanya, I'm sorry,
for leaving the way I did

I found your note

I knew then,
you weren't coming back

Then, you knew more
about me than I did

Yes

Let bygones be bygones

Come on

But at least, you've got a second chance,
to perform with Magik

Life's rarely this generous with everyone

You know,
I had put all that music behind me

But because of my wife Sakshi,
it's happening all over again

Tanya, a very old friend of mine

-I wanted to thank you
-Me?

If I hadn't seen your photographs,
I'd have never known Aditya had a band

First, I was afraid
I was petrified

I kept thinking, I could never live
without you by my side

Save the guests.
I am coming

..thinking how you did me wrong

I grew strong
I learnt how to get along

And now you're back

From outer space

I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face

I should've changed my stupid lock
I would've made you leave your key

If I’d known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now, go...

walk out the door

Just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore

Weren’t you the one who tried
to break me with your lies

You think I'd crumble,
you think I'd lay down and die

Oh no, not I, I will survive

As long as I know how to love,
I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give

And I’ll survive, I will survive

KD... I don't know these songs

KD... I only know Hindi songs

Strange story it has been

Where it began
Where will it all end

What destinies await us

Neither he knows, nor I

Strange story it has been,

Where it began
Where will it all end

What destinies await us

Neither he knows, nor I

Why does smoke...

obscure the lamplight?

Why does smoke...

obscure the lamplight?

In my dreams...

I have woken up from my dream

Talk to him...
-But Rob isn't taking my call

He must be busy.
-But he would answer...

Let's go to his place

Adi, talk to him.
-KD...

It's on our way back,
let's go there

I'll drop you to the car

Hang in there

You'll be fine, hang in there

Adi, take the next right
Shit!

So what if it's a No Entry?
He's passing out

Rob, look at me, man... Rob

Just hang on... hang on...
we're reaching the hospital

You'll be fine,
you're going to make it

You see this?

Have you told Rob...
that he has brain tumour?

He knows

He tells me he's had some
chemotherapy sessions

And he's taking medication too

Why didn't he tell us?

What good would it do?

You'd re-unite Magik thinking,
poor Rob's dying

I didn't want that

If we are to get together again,
it has to be because...

we believe in Magik's music
and we believe in each other

But you don't believe we're your friends

Isn't that right?

It's not that, KD.

This tumour has become a part of my brain

I'm beyond curing. That's a fact

Two days, two months, two years...

How much longer will I live...?
I'm sick of thinking about that

Rob... listen to me

Dr Shetty is the country's
best neurosurgeon

I'll talk to him

We'll shift you to his personal clinic

You'll be all right.
-What the hell are you saying, Aditya?

Our show is on the 24th
... day after tomorrow

Have you gone mad?

This show is very important for me,
perhaps my last chance

You know how worried I've been?
What's wrong with you?

After you left, the cruise guys called.
Your visa is done

The ship is leaving tomorrow
and you're going to be on it

What's the matter, Joe?

And all these days,
you were lying to me?

This Magik and all this...

Can't you see there's no future in it?

Whenever it comes to this band,
why does your brain switch off, Joe?

I don't care

You're going on that
cruise and that's final

I've got another chance to do
what I've always wanted to...

I don't know how to do anything else

And now Rob...
-Stop it Joe

Agreed, what happened to Rob is terrible

But don't you see that your wife..

..has been dying a slow
death for ten years?

And Andy...

have you ever considered
his future?

In life, you've got to make compromises

I wanted to become a fashion designer

I'm working your goddamned
family fish-business

And what of Magik?

You want to be a rock star at your age?

Have you learnt nothing in ten years?

You're ready to trust the same man again

Ms Debbie is here to meet sir

Ask her to sit down. I'm coming

Welcome

You know, I've met your son Andrew

Oh... it's showing

Yes, there's a glow on your face

-Is Aditya in? -Please sit
in the study. I'll call him

I've been asking Joe
about you for ages

Sit

Will you have a drink?

But... you seem to be doing fine,
like always

Some people have all the luck,..

..they get whatever they want

Like you

You were a hero in college,
the creative rebel

And now, a successful businessman

Fantastic house

Pretty wife

And soon, a father

Everything a man can ask for...

I can't tell if you're
complimenting me or not

I'm just speaking the truth

Or you can take it this way...

I'm pointing out what
sets you apart from Joe

Joe... Joe isn't lucky like you, Aditya

He's fought against life at every step

And such was his luck...

most often, he failed

Please, stop showing him these new dreams

Because when these dreams shatter,

the shards will wound
my life... Andrew's life

What are you trying to say?

If Joe goes for the show tomorrow,..

..he'll lose a very good job

Just let him go, Aditya. Please

He still has fever, 1 02 degrees

I'm fine doctor

The fever will vanish
the moment I get out of here

Rob, please be serious

They don't become doctors overnight

What if something happens on the stage?

Guys, if you think so negatively,
I'll definitely collapse

Imagine...

tomorrow, we'll be on stage,
there'll be lights, a huge audience

There'll be music,

in its every beat and every note,
there will be life

Life

I want to live one night to the fullest
before l die

Don't give up on me!

You should save your energy for tomorrow

But if I have to go,
then why not with a bang

You're right

My eyes speak of bright stars,

colourful places

and open meadows

My thoughts speak of dancing shores,

where I stand alone, waiting for you

My dreams feel just like heaven

I'm just a traveler passing through

My eyes speak of bright stars,

colorful places

and open meadows

My thoughts speak of dancing shores,

where I stand alone, waiting for you

My dreams feel just like heaven,

I'm just a traveler passing through

Don’t let this moment pass us by...
as we talk

Tonight's the night!

-Where's Sakshi?
-She's watching the concert with Devika

Where's Joe?

I'm...

fully unzipped

Saying hear I am

take a look at it

I'm getting tired of being
a culture bandit

and oh...

it's funny and sick,

recalling all the ways...
I would paint my face

Saying, please come take me
oh I'm worthy please

I believe,

I'll receive love..

..but 'til then
I'm my own biggest fan

Where the hell is Joe, man?

I don't think Joe'll turn up

What do you mean?

Debbie came to see me last night

She said...

Joe's got a job on some ship..

..and he's leaving

I was still hopeful that he'd turn up

Even after a decade, Magik
is still stuck in the same rut

We always get caught
in this big ego clash...

between you and Joe

You the only ones with personal problems?
What about us?

Forget it

That's the problem, I can't let go!

Aditya and Joe may be able to

We can't go on stage without Joe

Why not?

If it's vital for Joe to be on that ship,
it's vital for me to be on stage

And no one can stop me!

Even if I have to play the drums for
twenty minutes on my own, I'll still go!

And you guys decide if you're with me

We have to reach the
airport in fifteen minutes

Magik?

Andy, turn around

It's been ten years since Magik performed

But the wait isn't over yet

This song is his and this is for him,..

..the one who couldn't be here today

With you beside me,

my heart sings a song

Without you,

my music is gone

If I have you with me,

I have everything

If you're gone,

there's not a thing

To have you with me,

is to live a wonderful dream

When you're around,
it feels like...

I've found every joy

When you're gone,

happiness doesn't satisfy me

It's my life that's asking,

for you

Papa, go!

When you're with me,

I can find my way

When you're gone,

there is no path

When you're here,

there is everything

Without you,

who's left?

If you're with me,

every moment is bliss

When you're with me,

I feel even the breeze
has the colour of love

When you're gone,

life is without spirit

When I found you,
I found life

Ladies and gentlemen...
please welcome, on lead guitar,

My friend, my brother,
Joseph Mascarenhas

Sinbad the sailor,
sailed away one day

listen up my friends

Looking for a new world
in his own way

He sailed into uncharted seas

He was at the mercy of the waves

He was warned not to go to sea

listen up my friends

Warned that it wasn't such
a good dream to see

listen up my friends

He was rapt in his own dreams

And he listened only to his heart

For the only thing he owned,
was a dream of his own,

that dream of Sinbad the sailor

For the only thing he owned,
was a dream of his own,

that dream of Sinbad the sailor

A typhoon struck his boat once
listen up my friends

But he kept his zeal afloat
listen up my friends

He was such a devotee

A dream-walker, that's what he was

For the only thing he owned,
was a dream of his own,

that dream of Sinbad the sailor

For the only thing he owned,
was a dream of his own,

that dream of Sinbad the sailor

Thirsting for a dream

He kept right on his path

The oceans were deep
and the waves tall,

listen up my friends

Where the largest ships sit uneasy,

listen up my friends

But he reached the shore one day

He finally reached his destiny

For the only thing he owned,
was a dream of his own,

that dream of Sinbad the sailor

For the only thing he owned,
was a dream of his own,

that dream of Sinbad the sailor

With you beside me,

my heart sings a song

Without you,

my music is gone

If I have you with me,

I have everything

If you're gone,

there's not a thing

To have you with me,

is to live

a wonderful dream

When you're around,
it feels like I’ve found every joy

When you're gone,
happiness doesn't satisfy me

It's my life that's asking...

for you

When someone has a dream in his eyes,

happiness is a joy
in chasing that dream

Just for once make a wish from life,

then you see

When someone has a song on his lips,

even a loss seems like a victory

The song in your heart...

sing it out, just for once...

then you see

When someone has memories...

of love,

every night is...

filled with dreams

Just for once, to someone,

give your heart...

then you see

So see a few dreams,
hear a few songs,
