Gattu (2011) - full transcript

Gattu...

get up...

Let's see you awake...
The sun is up and bright

Do you want a tongue-lashing
to kick-start your day'?

You won't...? Wait...

Come on...

get up

We'll do it this way

How about
a whipping to begin your day'?

It was a nightmare, it made me weep

A nightmare made you weep...?



I saw you dying under a truck

In your dreams...
why am I crippled, blinded, dying?

By Allah, one day I'll kill you

Sunita...

Gattu just stole a bread
catch him

He won't steal.
He's pulling your leg

There goes your bottle.
Stop being naughty

Hey kid, get off...
don't give me a flat tire

No other ragpickers allowed...
go pick garbage elsewhere

This is common property
share the loot

This one is crazy

Breakfast with chewing tobacco...?

When will you start working?
Don't make me do your lob

Please settle the account



Not even ten tins yet?

Quicker with kites, aren't you?

Your nimble fingers work the chicken
to the bone, deftly

But at work, you get cold feet.
And this face of yours, pales

You better stay away from
those scavengers

Or else, you'll end up worthless,
like junk

Understood?
- Yes

You say that with a 'yes sir'!

Mr. Mehra, I run a business for profit

And I got wages to pay

Let the thread play out... easy...

Kid, hold the thread-mill properly...
let it roll

I am on the job!
- It's war! Get a grip on your guns

The yellow one... on a loser's run

Before flying high, say salaam
to Sulemaan...l am king of this sky

How many times will you let Kali defeat
you? You're giving our colony a bad name

Every wannabe champ in Hoorkee
wants Kali to fall into his lap!

Gattu defeats Kali

Sulemaan Bhai,
think of the devil and...

Kali uses black magic...

Magic to lure this rat...
- Mounted on his sheep

His name is Tiger!

Veer?

You deserve...

We must find the wizard who flies Kali!

Go on, use your chance

Beaten again?

Shut Up!

Great biryani, Anees Bhai

More...?
- I can do that. Thanks

Gattu, more biryani over here

fiddling with bikes
won't make you an engineer

When will you eat?
- Later

Yes Kareem...? If it's cash, forget it.
You've taken an advance. 240 Rupees

A fifty. For my mother's eye drops.
I'll pay you back out of my month's wages

I am sure you will!
This time, I'll make sure I deduct it

Okay, you win...

I kept a fifty right here... where is it?

Gattu, did you pick it up?

I did not

Splash cold water on her eyes
and get off my back. Go!

Gattu, where did it vanish?
- How'd I know...? Maybe you dropped it...

If I find it on you, I'll throw you out.
Then you will realize...

how tough it is to find two meters
to stretch your legs for a night's sleep

Drop it, Anees Bhai. It must've
been misplaced, you'll find it later

No... he is hiding the money

It's not in there, I lost it...

Lost it...?

I know your lies...
I know you from head to toe

You better return that fifty, or else...

Return it... you mean I'm hiding it...?

Look...

Did I hide it there?

Or there?

I'll show you...
- You keep that on!

No... I must convince you...
I have no parents, I'm nobody's child

So you scream at me and slap me,
you throw what crap you want at me?

Poor thing, must've dropped
it somewhere just a child

How much for that one?

Forget it, it's way above your class

Try the little ones
between 1 Rupee and 3 Rupees

I'm through with small kites

That one is for 15 Rupees. Move on...

I am taking it

Big fancy?

As you wish

And the biggest thread-mill
to fly miles high

Biggest?
- That...

That costs 50

What's the total?

65 Rupees.
- How about a fifty'?

Like you got a fifty! Get out

Nice hiding place

All yours

Hold on a minute...

How many times has Kali cut you down?

7 times.
- Seven?

Because she flies from a great height.
- Great height!

Don't waste money.
Practise with smaller kites

Take the big one to the sky afterwards...

You could be right...
hold this one for me

That's your fifteen

No, Mr. Lala. Hold it for me

I'm the one... I'll cut Kali down

Who flies this Kali?
It's driving the boys crazy

Whoever he is, God bless him.
Business is good, thanks to Kali

Sir...

I want your terrace for flying kites.

Hey... you... Gattu... it's you!

You should've said so!

Sit

Even you want to take on Kali?

You can use my terrace... in return
will you do a little something for me?

Little... what?

Sunita... Mr. Gupta's daughter...
- Your neighbour?

Hush!

You're good friends with her...
- So?

I am in love with her

But I am unable to tell her

Forget it, you won't yet understand

I wrote this letter to her...

Can you do that?
- Okay

Then fly your kites from my terrace

Bring Kali down, she's flying too high

Done?
- first, let me check out the terrace

Clever you!
You can have the keys to my terrace

Today I'll cut Kali down

Gattu is on the tailor's terrace

Hey you!

Hey lame duck!

On the tailor's terrace?
Did you break the lock?

I bought the tailor's shop...
now on, I'm flying from here

Come on, be a man!
Don't turn tail

Don't distract me. Kali is out there!

Kid, taking on Kali is no child's play

Kali is mine! Stay out

I've got you

Going... going---

Gone

Gattu has become quite an expert.
He downed you

Nonsense, it wasn't him!

The thread was rotten!
That Lala, he is a swindler.

Wind in the thread

Who the hell is on my terrace?

It's me, Gattu.
I dropped your letter

But... I just went to her shop...
I didn't get any such... vibes

Was she alone at the shop?

No. There was another girl...
- So... she couldn't talk to you

She could've smiled, at least?

There she is

Who?
- Kali

Take the thread-mill

Tell me... what did she say
after you gave my letter?

Let loose!
You'll get me killed!

Don't you bark at me!
I'm not your street urchin

Your lob is done. I told you

Done what? Answer me properly!

Stay out!

Defeated

What a relief. Can we talk now?

What did she say?

Did you mention my name?

I never said anything!
- Never said anything? Why not?

Because I didn't give your letter!

She would've hammered your head

Give me another letter...
you deserve a broken skull!

Defeated again?
- Biggest thread-mill... total waste

A high terrace will be fair chance

The school's terrace is the highest...

if we could fly a kite off that roof...

Big deal. Let's become students

Not even that roof can help...
- Why not, Kali flies from a nearby roof

'The school's terrace is the highest'

When is my dad returning?

Go to sleep.
Your mind is playing games

Answer me...

Answer me...

After your mother died,

he lost his mind and wandered away

I paid for you...
and brought you home

You looked so innocent.

I took pity on you

Be grateful, you are getting to
learn a trade for free

No one taught me,

took me a lifetime of trial and error

After me, this junkyard is yours

You'll take care of the business,
won't you?

Back to sleep

Want a drink of water?

Good night

I'm hungry

Again you forgot to take
your tiff in box to school

'There is an important announcement'

We are receiving 40 exchange students
from 3 branches of our school

'They will study in
our school for 3 months'

'You are encouraged to learn,
share ideas and exchange views'

Careful... no pushing, no fights

Fall in line

Mind the line... mind the line

The best place In the world to be

'India, my land, my country'

'Like nightingales we are...'

'in this garden, this Paradise of ours'

You are being divided into 3 groups,
A, B & C

3 students from each school for Group A

3 students from Civil Lines School

3 students from Cantonment School

3 from Mahatma Gandhi Road School

The rest of you will meet Anita Sharma
She is your monitor

Move

I haven't eaten your toffee... see?

You took it from my pocket

Why are you pushing?
- No, you are pushing!

What's going on?

Honey Singh stole my toffee.

Manuj is lying.
He isn't even in uniform

Punishment... why is it good?
- A punishment... teaches us...

That?
- That... we may repeat no wrongs

Go on

You will stand out
for the rest of the period

And you?

Class 5B...
- Go in

Take out your Hindi Language books

Yesterday, we read 'The ldgah'
written by Munshi Premchand

Today, we will discuss the story

Visiting students, raise your hands

This question is for visiting students

Minky, pay attention to your book

Has everyone read 'The ldgah? '

Stand up. What is your name?

Manohar Tyagi

Have you read 'The ldgah? '
- Yes

Tell us the story

Well, sit down

Who will tell us the story?

Minky, tell us

Hamid and his friends go to a fair

His friends spend on sweets and toys.

But Hamid buys a pair of iron pincers

When his friends ridicule him, he says,
pincers are good for work or play.

It becomes a rifle on your shoulders.
It can also tattoo a beat to a song

At home, Hamid's grandma scolds
him for wasting money.

Hamid says,
I bought the pincers for you

because the fire burns
your fingers when you cook

Then Hamid's grandmother
wept tears of joy

Very good, sit

Let's move on to the next story

Who is reading today?

Stand up. What is your name?
- Raiender

Haiender, proceed

In a jungle, lived an ageing lion.

He has no more the energy
to chase his prey

Shall I tell the teacher?
This isn't allowed!

But I have read many of these.
I love 'Loyal Detective'

Can I keep it until tomorrow?

Okay?

Fine.

What are you doing in the toilet?

Don't you know there's
a consignment waiting?

Why don't you speak?
Where have you been?

I went to school

The school is a very nice place.
They tell us such lovely stories

They even let us play. School is fun

I went to Mr. Mehta's shop.
He said he'd pay...

and he made me wait the whole day

There I was, hungry and he was feasting.

I spent two Rupees on a snack of grams

I was so hungry...

I want you in the yard... right now!
- Sure

A balm. For your knee. I bought it

Change of heart?
A sudden concern for my knee?

I cashed in on my piggy bank

Let us celebrate.
Egg curry and bread?

Come home quickly.
I am hungry...

Are you going out dressed like that?

Gattu... where is he?

Break fast ready?

Where the hell is this Gattu?

Gambling.
My uncle saw him at a lottery den

Is he living off me
and working for someone else?

Drop everything and find him!

Get him!

Now, everyone will wish
Manuj a happy birthday

Take out your drawing books

Where is your drawing book?

What's wrong?

Come outside

Relax

Mint syrup will help

Children, don't crowd

Back to the classroom

Don't choke on it

You're going to be fine

Wow, lovely tiff in box

Here's your comic.
I've finished it. Great story

'Loyal Detective'...
I'm taking this home

Tomorrow's m y turn

I'm next

Are you feeling all right?
- Yes

When is your birthday?
- I don't know

How can that be?

Why those bars?

Going to the roof isn't allowed
- Why'?

5 years ago, the principal's grandson
fell from the roof and died

Why is that board everywhere?

To remind us of our motto...
'Truth always triumphs'

You want to know anything else?
- No...

I am unwell... I need to lie down

I am working here.

I keep count of
these trucks arriving at this dump

I make 20 Rupees a day

But I'm not here for 20 Rupees.
I am learning the business

700 for truck hire,
the labourers take 140...

a trip costs 840

The contractor gets 1500...
so he makes 660 Rupees

Just a matter of time...
I am getting into this business

You're my best friend.
I'll make you my partner

Chuck that 'beedi'. You're a boss now.
Move on to cigarettes

But what about this Anees 'Bhai'?

Leave him to me

Where did you find him?

Why are you crying?

What's the m after?

Why are you in tears?

Will you talk?

My mummy is in hospital

So... so why are you crying?

She went out to see her doctor...

She fell... broke her arm

Gattu saw her.
He took her to a hospital.

He has been with her for
the last two days

Why Gattu, why not you?

Mummy threw me out of the house...

and she swore that if she sees my face,
she will go to hell

How can I show her my face
and send her to hell, tell me?

Gattu... why didn't you tell me?

Did you think I'd forbid you?

Even I'll face God someday...

You look after her
as long as she is in hospital

This mule can do your work

Go

Get to work

Why does the ball keep returning?

Why doesn't the ball stay up there?

Do you fly kites?

Even I did

When a kite's line is cut, why does
the kite drift down and not upwards?

Gravity is the answer to it all

The Earth's natural force of attraction

In the center of the Earth lies
a powerful magnet...

that attracts everything towards itself

That's why this ball
keeps falling to the ground

It's also why kites drift to Earth

When you are in Class 6,

I shall tell you why
The Moon doesn't fall upon The Earth

Stack it properly

Hey lame duck, over here

Are you slinking off like a thief?
Where have you been?

Not flying kites any more?
Or, have you bagged Kali?

Tell me... why did the apple fall?

This coin falls too.
Whatever goes up, comes down

Why won't they keep going up?
- What rot are you talking?

The Earth hides a magnet
that pulls everything towards it

But beyond a point,
stuff that's gone never returns

His stuff is beyond me...
Gattu is going mad

That's Science for you.
Everything in Science bears reason

Why do candles blow out?

Why do light objects float on water?

Let me show you something

When is my birthday?

Why, what happened?

I have no clue... truth is,
neither have I any clue about mine

Just hit on any date...
like I chose mine,

15th August,
India's Independence Day

Would my parents have sent me
to school?

Your mind is playing games again.

Sleep

Sleep. You talk too much

How can books be stolen from the class?

You must've misplaced your books

No, mine was stolen from this class

My science book

Math

My English literature...

I'll pick it up

Where are you dragging me?

Don't be afraid,
you won't get eaten by a tiger

My bag...why?
- I'll show you magic!

Didn't I tell you,
there's only one thief

Anand Tewari,

Manohar Tyagi,

Sapna Misra...

You stole all the books.
Sharp thieving!

He isn't here for studying,
there's something else

Who are you?
Which school do you go to?

You stole everyone's books.

Why not mine...
nor Minky's or Honey Singh's?

Because you are my only friends

Come clean, who are you?

I love Loyal Detective'

I am a detective.
I am not from any school

I am here on detective work

What kind of detective work?

I can't reveal secrets.
My "Sir" has forbidden it

You must tell us!

I have been given the job
to save this school from terrorists

Look

San d?

Not sand. Gunpowder.
- Gunpowder?

I found it inside your school.

Terrorists are targeting your school

Look... acid.

I found it in the store room

Acid?
- Yes... clearly...

The terrorists are zeroing in

Let's tell the principal

My "Sir" also suspects your principal.
Even the teachers

There's a case for an insider job.

Gunpowder inside the school is no joke

School No.19 is the best
primary school in Hoorkee

if I can get in posing as a student,
then why not the gunpowder?

I must inform my "Sir"
about the hard evidence

He will step in
and save the school

Who is "Sir"?

We only know of him as "Sir"

No one has ever seen him.

That tower in Meena Bazar...

Where the pigeons flock?
- Yes, that's his office

I can't go to meet him.
The terrorists are tailing me

How else?

'With a little help from you guys

There! I've been looking everywhere.
Mummy is hollering for you

The rest of you... scram

Go on...

All I need is a kite and a long line

I don't get this... what is your plan?

I'll explain.

Like I said...

The terrorist attack is coming in 4 days

I'll fly a kite from the school's roof...
for 15 minutes

When my "Sir" spots the kite,

he'll know
that I've found the evidence

Simple, I'll get a kite and a thread-mill

Your kite, just any kite, won't do
My "Sir" gave me this one...

a big red kite with a yellow star.
And the line is super strong

The roof is locked.
The clerk is a watchdog.

He'll tell the principal

When he isn't around,
we can pull it off!

On Saturdays,
the principal takes off

Tomorrow is Saturday!

It's fresh off the mills

With powdered glass
for the cutting edge

What took you so long?

I was briefing fresh recruits.
- Fresh recruits?

Two, from your school

Present, Sir!

At ease

They are part of our mission

Good

Tiger, today is your day !

That clerk is sitting tight

Did you see, a goat...
- Of course not

Don't you push !

What's wrong with you?

Why are you getting violent?

Silence... silence!

Quietly... quickly

I'm dying to pee!
Stop this screaming match !

Pull your ears !

Goodness, it's him ! You stay put

Silence !

Good afternoon, Sir.
- Lock up my office

Yes, Sir

Chattering, screaming, all day!

Sit ups

I'm going to the loo.
You keep on...

Hurry !

Which key?
- Try another

Let me out... is anyone there?

Let me out

At ease

Attention

At ease

Congratulations, team.

The second leg of our mission
is a success

In this final phase,
we will give a signal from this roof

Soldier Minky...
take over the thread-mill

Soldier Honey Singh...

Man the gates.
Prevent any intrusion

Soldier Manuj...

Launch it into flight...

Careful...

Sir, that's Kali !

What is this about?

Sir, Kali is a terror in Roorkee's sky !

To save the school,
we must destroy Kali.

Only then, our kite can stay up

My line can slice through steel.
Kali is only a kite

Open up !

Help him

Force it open !
- Break the door

Hey... let me out!

Spectators, please stay back

Soldier Minky, mind the kite

In battle,
deception is the vital strategy

This is our chance

Now... do or die!

One

Two

Three

I have cut Kali's line!

Stop !Our mission !
Have you forgotten?

Go away !

Sir ! The mission isn't over yet...

The enemy must be captured

My Sir mustn't get the wrong signal

Who did this to me?
- How'd I know?

Hey, stop... you stop !

You won't escape!

Don't get rough...
- Oh ! You don't know these devils...

Now suffer the consequences
of taking me on

On your haunches
like chicken

Now, let's hear the rooster...

Sound !

Louder !

Quicker !

'You stole everyone's books,
why not mine,

nor Minky's or Honey Singh's ...?'

'Because you are my only friends'

Why is that board everywhere?
- To remind us of our motto...

'Truth always triumphs'

What is it now...?

Are you playing
nurse to Kareem's mother?

Or, matchmaker for Tailor and Sunita ?

Little devil...

now this school dress...
what's the new drama?

Why are you crying?

You won't say...?

Why...?

Come... let's go home

Take the kite... take it !

Come on... let's go home

Come now...

It's all right,
everyone makes mistakes

Stop crying

What is the matter, son?
- I got to set everything right

You... need to set things right?
- Yes

Okay

Go on...
do what's right

You imagine
you can defend the school!

You think you can outdo the police?

Who was the ringleader?

Talk!

So fast a friendship, so quickly?

Sir...

This is the one...
he has returned

Get the staff and
the students to the assembly

Put out your hand

Do it

This is for breaking the rule

Please forgive me

You too...

and you...

Punish me all you will

Please spare them...
it's not their fault

Pleading guilty
doesn't reduce punishment

Today, I wish to hear from all of you...
the motto of our school?

'Truth always triumphs'

Absolutely right

For the first time,
I am seeing a culprit who has owned up

And again I am witnessing
the power of our motto

This child has admitted his guilt,
truthfully, fearlessly

All Gattu wanted
from our school was the roof

From now,
under this roof he will play,

here he will get an education

Eliminating Kali was impossible!

The best of fliers lost to her

Gattu stood upon
our roof and accomplished

what no one in Hoorkee ever achieved

Congratulations!
- To me?

Won't you accept Kali's congratulation?

You...were Kali?

Are principals forbidden to fly kites?

There... this is the admission form

Your thumb impression...

is your signature

just as you wished

It is now your name
in the place of his father's name...

Great!

This gives me the right to thrash
the daylights out of him

And a new water bottle.
- How wonderful!

School... here we come
