The Lost Idea (2016) - full transcript
The film is a fantasy driven tale of two men, a poet and a painter, claiming possession over the same Idea, in a rural village portrayed as a wonderland.
[Moaning in labour pain]
[Blowing of conch]
[Baby crying]
My child!
She may not be your child
she could be an Idea
or just a figment
of your imagination
She is just an Idea
Which place is this?
This is our land
It's a wonderland,
where imaginations become real
Isn't that
impossible and absurd?
If you think freely
everything is possible
Who is that guy?
He is a poet,
he writes poems in English,
and aimlessly roams around
Poet?
and writes in English?
This seems
to be a rural land
How can people
be so educated here?
Didn't I say
it's a wonderland?
In our land, education
isn't influenced by economy
And who is this man?
He is a lazy man
He keeps reading,
and keeps imagining
Looks engrossed
Oh my God!
Is he a man or a demon?
Neither a man, nor a demon
He is the 'Fate'
Fate??
Yes... Fate
Why does he look so hyper?
Is he 'Fate' or 'Ill-Fate'?
Shh... quiet
Fate is dangerous
Why're you poking him?
Who is this?
Looks like a mad man
Depends on how
you want to interpret
Hey, look there...
there's someone
walking on the sand
Who is he?
He's a local postman
He posts letters
What is he doing there?
Ah, why do you ask
so many questions?
Idea
You're too old
to play with kids
[Slap]
What happened?
A dream...
of ghost?
Yes
Male ghost
or a female ghost?
I don't remember
Don't you have any work?
Lazy fellow...
just keep reading the paper
I've to do everything
Why are you sitting idle?
There's no point in saying
Disgusting!
Simply wasting time
Can take up some small work...
... but no
His life will go on like this
I keep saying,
but who cares?
Just keep sitting idle
[Hums a traditional song]
Hey man!
What's the time?
8:10
Good Morning children
Every morning
seems to be good
when I see so many...
...bright faces
in front of me
While talking to you
I feel
I am talking to the future
Yes,
you are the future
Strange!
What's wrong?
Why are you
following me?
No no...
I...
I want...
... you to be safe
I am safe
Please go!
Why are you
avoiding me?
People say
you aren't normal
you're possessed!
We all are possessed
Are you...
... scared of ghosts?
Yes
Even ghosts
are scared of you
It's a...
... mutual
exchange of fear
You must be married
How many children?
Why don't you answer?
Please leave me alone
Loneliness
is very painful
you haven't
experienced it
Hey listen!
I'm sorry
Why are you sorry?
Don't be sorry
Don't be sorry
What's your age?
Have you
ever seen death?
I have seen it
I've seen
death very closely
in my arms
when my
son was dying
Hey
I forgot to
pay for the tea
No problem
I'll pay it
You didn't
keep your word
you said you
will never leave me
You said you'll get a
job to take care of a family
Did you keep your word?
I'm not meant for a job
How many poems
do you write in a day?
One
Just one?
You think it's very easy?
No
How long do you
take to write one poem?
Once I start...
... it takes 10-15 minutes
Then what do you do
for the rest of the day?
I search for my Idea
It's not your Idea
Of course it's mine
If it was your Idea,
you wouldn't
need to search for it
She is mine
That's what you think
Shree
how are you doing?
Good
I heard...
London is a very big city
Yes, it is
How do the people look like?
Like you and me
Do they like my poems?
Of course they
love your poems
They wonder...
... how an Indian poet
knows English so well
Really?
Tell me
how many
people read my poems?
Many
You're a very
popular poet in London
That's why the
magazines pay you
and I send you the
money every three months
Shree...
Can I come
to London once?
I want to see you
Do you know
how far London is?
You need a lot
of money to travel
Will you
never return home?
May be I will
One day I'll return
with my grand children
and show
them their roots
Can't you call me once?
I haven't heard
your voice for so long
I had told you
you'll never
hear me again
Shree...
please listen to me
Hey Ali,
Ali Ali Ali
I... I need a help
What... tell me
I... I need...
I need a net
Net?
Yes
Why?
Will you catch fishes?
Fishes?
No no no...
I won't catch fishes
I... I won't catch fishes
Then?
I'll...
I'll catch the Sun
What??
I'll catch the Sun,
I'll catch the Sun...
A fortune-teller told me...
my son will
be back to life if...
... I can catch the Sun
I've to stop
the Sun from rising
Hey crazy fellow,
The Sun is in the sky
how will you catch it?
I'll catch it from the water
from the water
Ok great
You pay me the rent,
I'll give you a fish-net
Yes, yes I'll pay
Ok, I'll give you the net
I'll pay, I'll pay
Poet
Poet
Poet, where are you?
Yes, tell me
I need to write
a serious poem this time
Why?
Why not entertaining?
I'm heart-broken
I'm not in a mood
to entertain others
A serious poem
Write down
My eyes are red
I'll move to the bed
Bed sheets are hot
I love them a lot
My eyes are red
I'll move to the bed
Bed sheets are hot
I love them a lot
Time will pass
Just one more glass
Life is to cheer
Good night dear
Time will pass
Just one more glass
Life is to cheer
Good night dear
Why do you
call me so often?
You're my dream
How can I live without you?
I reside in the
minds of weak people
Did I say I'm strong?
You don't want to
be a loser I suppose
I don't want to
be a winner either
Then why are you
crying over your lost Idea?
Lost Idea?
I never lost her,
and I never will
OK
Stay with your Idea then
Why do you need me?
Aren't you being jealous?
Shouldn't I be?
I need your guidance
I can't guide you
Why?
Because I don't have
the time to take control
Why so?
The dawn is breaking
Idea!
Idea!
Listen to me
Idea!
Idea!
Hey,
did you like it?
Like what?
Naughty fellow
I was talking
about the news
Which news?
Oh my God!
There were two full
pages of the supplement
and you didn't read it?
No, I didn't
What's the news about?
Of course it's about me
I love club sandwich
French fries
So?
What's the news?
That's the news!
Also I'm on diet
for my next film
So what will I do?
You stupid fellow!
Follow the news
be a man of
progressive thought
You know,
my next film is
very very very different
A college student Ravi,
falls in love with a girl
and she is a classmate
The girl...
... is the best
student of the college
But...
Ravi is not good in studies,
you know,
that's the
difference in the movie
It's really different
You know,
Ravi proposes
so many times
but the girl
keeps refusing
that's the
interesting part, you know
But three years later
they meet at London
The girl goes for
a job assignment
and...
Ravi opens a
small resturant there
There is a twist
and it's really
different you know
Finally they decided
they love each other
they want to get married
But... the girl's
parents didn't... you know
they don't like the guy
And that's the
twist in the movie
There is lot of problems
from the girl's family
and it's really
really different
And there is so
much of surprise
and you know,
there is twist,
suspense,
surprises
It's really really
really different!
Different?
What's so
different about it?
Move aside!
Read the news!
My entire diet chart
is also there in the article
you should take some
interest in art and culture
How are art and culture
linked to your diet chart?
You ask very silly questions
you know
the entire supplement
is on art and culture
The reporter is
uncultured, that's why
Don't waste my time
I need to find my Idea
Give way!
Did you read my news?
No
What happened?
Guess what
Oh
I'm so sorry
I didn't know
Fifth page
at the bottom
small block on
the right side
I'll read surely
I'm fortunate that my
news came out in the paper
Hey
We need
women empowerment
Are you listening?
Yes, I am
Did you read our news?
It was on the sixth page
No, I didn't
get time
Our protests are
not important to you?
You bloody old
male chauvnist!
That's not the
right way to speak
It's men like you who
call us the weaker sex
Don't talk rubbish
Let me go
We have always been
the neglected gender
I'll read about your
grievances sometime later
Why later?
Just because we
are the weaker sex?
Who says you
are the weaker sex?
You're not
Now move
Let me go
But you should
support our cause
Move!
Did you read about me?
No
But I've seen your
photo somewhere
The world knows me
I dictate...
... your future
Oh
Are you a
fortune-teller?
No, you damn fool
I am the President
of the 'Machine Country'
Do you know
why I came to India?
Why you came here...
... how will I know?
You are...
... an illiterate!
Why?
Because I don't
keep track of you?
If you want to
develop yourself...
... and your nation,
you will have to
keep a track of me...
... and my machine country
Right now, I'm
searching for my Idea
Please excuse me
Idea??
To give birth to an Idea,
you need economic stability
Sir, she is my Idea,
she is very different
What Idea?
The dirty soil...
... of your country,
can never give birth...
... to any Idea
This soil is all I need
I don't need
your concrete cages
I'm in a hurry
Please excuse me
Sir,
Idea is mine!
He's a cheat your honor,
Idea is mine!
Why should
I believe you?
Sir, look
into my eyes,
am I not
speaking the truth?
Hard to
say my son,
I need evidence!
Yesterday I was telling you
about the history of our land
It struck me that...
I haven't explained
you what history means
and why it is
so important for us
As you might know
history is the
exploration of the past
but that doesn't mean
it has no
relevance to the present
When you study history,
you go through the
happenings of the past
and gather some experience
It is that experience which
helps you frame the future
I'll say...
history is very
much there... everywhere
We are nothing
but reflections of history
History is beyond
emperors and emperorship,
beyond battles,
architecture and renaissance
History is a search
of our own roots
Every moment gone by
is a part of history
We are nothing but floating
entities in an endless ocean
To attach an
identity to our existence,
we need to place ourselves
in the historical time-frame
Hey British!
Your girlfriend has
sent this from London
My money has come!
Here
One minute... please
Here, please
post this to her
Another fifty bucks
Rates have increased
Rates are going too high
Actually... you know what...
Hey, what's the matter?
Tell me
I won't disclose
to anyone, promise
I earn little
from my poems
and spend much more in
couriering them to London
Really?
But please don't
tell it to anyone
it will be very embarrassing
I know my
poems sell well
but I think
the magazines
don't pay well
Hey British, look bro...
think of the
poets in our country
they have nothing
Poets of our country
die on the streets
At least you
get some returns
And most importantly,
you'll soon become
an international figure
That's true
To achieve something big,
one must struggle
One day when I'll
attain great success,
I'll give you a grand party
and I'll always
be grateful to you
Why so?
Because you're the channel
between me and my success
Oh... that's my job
Hey, listen
A small help...
Can you... can you
please get me her number?
No... sorry
If there's no number on
the envelope, what can I do?
Hmm... Ok
Hello
Hello
What are you doing?
Can't you see
I'm painting?
I don't see your canvas
Here here... here it is
But I don't see it
Only pure minds
can see my canvas
You must be joking
No no... I'm not joking
Then why can't
I see the canvas?
Oh... that's because
your mind isn't here
Yes
that's true
Why?
What's bothering you?
You want to hear?
Yes... unless
it is too personal
Actually, few days back,
an Idea came to my mind
She...
she changed
my perceptions
She is very beautiful
And...
And you...
... fell in love
Yes, but I don't
see her anymore
Ok, tell me...
... did she fall
in love with you?
That's what
I thought, but...
But now you have doubts
Yes, because that
stupid guy... British...
British?
British... you
mean that poet,
whose girlfriend
stays in London?
Yes yes
He claims
that Idea is his
But I know Idea is mine
We went to
'Fate' for justice
but he asked for evidence
Ok...
Are you a Poet?
No no
Then? A painter?
writer?
music composer?
researcher?
scientist?
No
Then what will
you do with an Idea?
She came to me
She is mine
I need an evidence
Can you
help me out?
Ok...
Tell me...
Can you imagine?
Imagine?
Yes... can you imagine...
I mean...
Can you think
beyond reality?
No, nothing as such...
Why are you alive then?
What do you mean?
You don't know yourself
Idea was...
... your imagination
No no
She came to me
She is real
Good good
Very good
Your words prove that...
your imaginations
are very real
Go go... now go
Go and make a painting
That will be your evidence
Painting?
I can't
I have never
learnt painting
Have you ever learnt...
... how to breathe?
Or learnt how to sleep?
No
Listen,
On a canvas...
... just play
with some colors
What else?
That's it!
You don't need to
force yourself to think
Human beings...
trees... sky...
... you don't need
to think of them
Just...
play with your colors
Whatever will
be the outcome
is your true
feelings for your Idea
Then, you're saying...
the painting will
serve as my evidence?
Yes, of course
Ok, go go...
now you go
Let me work, now go
May I know what
you are painting?
What am I painting?
I am painting my mind
Are you troubled too?
Actually...
the morning sky...
... is staying cloudy
So?
So I'm unable
to see the sunrise
I didn't understand
Oh
I should see the Sun
popping up from the sea
that's when I'll catch it
Catch what?
Are you mad?
What am I talking about?
About the Sun
So why are you
asking stupid questions?
You'll catch the Sun?
You are completely mad
Time will reveal
who is actually mad
Go go, you go
Now let me work
Go go, you go now
[Hums a devotional song]
Hello brother
What's the time?
Brother
8:10
8:10
British,
Do you have
an evidence?
Yes Sir
And you?
Sir, evidence is
here in my hands
Ok
you're an old man,
so let's start with you
Sir I have
made this painting
So what?
Sir, it's the real proof
What's the proof?
If I draw a
sketch of Cleopatra,
does it mean
Cleopatra is mine?
Nonsense!
Sir I've not
drawn her sketch
Then what
have you drawn?
Sir...
Sir, I've painted my mind
That's the proof
What I've painted is
my true feelings for Idea
Shut up!
Do I look like
a stupid?
No Sir...
why are you saying so?
What nonsense is this?
Sir, my...
my feelings sir
Feelings?
Acting too smart
No Sir
Shut up!
Sir, Idea is mine
Shut up!
British
Sir I've written a poem
Poem?
Do you think poem
can be an evidence?
Why not sir?
Let's see what
rubbish you've written
Sir, please try to
catch the inner meaning
Inner meaning?
Yes sir, this is poetry
you need to
analyze it carefully
Hey you
small British rascal,
Do you think
I'm illiterate?
No Sir
Just because I'm Indian,
you think
I am not litter?
You illiterate fool!
Sir, litter means...
Shut up!
You are not
the only litter
I all litter
The all are litter
Don't teach me English
You scoundrel!
Sorry sir
Let me read
She is still in my mind
In memory...
In memories left behind
Her cat and my mouse
I have left in the house
What does this mean?
Sir, inner meanings are there
Nonsense!
I saw her everywhere
And touched her with care
So near and so far
I was lying on top of her
Heart beats went high
Love is not a lie
She moved like a wave
And I was trapped in a cave
What is this?
Poetry, sir
This is vulgar poetry!
Why sir?
Why sir?
What have you written?
She moved like a wave,
And I was trapped in a cave
Shameless rascal!
Sir, these lines
came to my mind
Vulgar thought!
Only dreaming of sex!
Why sir? Why do
you say sex is vulgar?
Listen to this little brat
He'll spoil our culture
Shameless fellow
And he's asking -
why is sex vulgar?
As if he doesn't know
Sir, you also have children
Yes, so?
Sir, are they
gifted by God?
No sir
your children
must be your's
what has God
to do with them?
Sir,
so what is your
decision, sir?
No decision today
We'll meet again
And this time,
you'll have to
bring Idea here
Whoever brings Idea,
Idea will be his
Sir when will be
the next meeting?
Sir, please grant
us some time
We will meet
on the day
when the
Sun is visible
right over our heads
in clear sky
Sir, if tomorrow's
sky stays clear?
Then we'll
meet tomorrow
But we need
some time sir
Who is the judge?
You, sir
Who?
You, sir
Then who will decide
the next meeting?
You, sir
You, sir
Now go!
Search for your Idea
Hey!
My fees?
There's no hunger,
no drought, no tension
everyone is busy in art
It's a new fashion
Everyone is an artist
Nonsense!
Hey, hey!
What are you doing?
Posting a letter
What?
You are putting
it in the river
and saying that
you're posting the letter?
Whose letter was it?
British
British?
It could be his poem?
Yes, that's his poem
to be sent to his
girlfriend in London
And you spoilt it like this
I didn't spoil it
I was just posting it
This is a holy river
If luck favors,
it will find its
way to London
Listen,
don't tell
it to anyone
Why?
Are you afraid
of getting caught?
I'll deny it
People will think your
madness has crossed all limits
They'll force you
into the mental asylum
So, for your own good,
don't tell it to anyone
Ok Ok
I won't tell
anything to anyone
Ok then,
I've to go now
Hey brother,
Listen, I've
something to tell you
I think...
you're a...
Cheater!
Yes, that's partially true
Idea
will you be mine?
What's that?
A rose
Where did you get it from?
I plucked it,
just for you
For me?
Yes
I really don't know I to say
but I love you
Will you be mine?
I'll always love you,
I'll always be kind to you
You'll be kind to me?
If you're so cruel to
this small beautiful flower,
how will you be kind to me?
Don't ever express your
love with such cruel gestures
But expressing love
with a rose is a tradition
Then change it
Make me a channel
of your peace
Where there is hatred,
let me bring your love
Where there is injury,
your pardon Lord
And where there's doubt,
true faith in you
Make me a channel
of your peace
Where there's despair in life,
let me bring hope
Where there is darkness-
only light
And where there's sadness,
ever joy
Oh Master, grant that
I may never seek
So much to be consoled
as to console
To be understood,
as to understand
To be loved,
as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel
of your peace
It is in pardoning
that we are pardoned
In giving ourselves
that we receive
And in dying that
we're born to eternal life
Oh Master, grant that
I may never seek
So much to be consoled
as to console
To be understood,
as to understand
To be loved,
as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel
of your peace
Where there is hatred,
let me bring your love
Where there is injury,
your pardon Lord
And where there's doubt,
true faith in you
[Hums a cheerful folk song]
Hey brother
Hello!
What's the time?
8:10
Yes... 8:10
Where shall I
search for you?
I am an old man
You can't
search for an Idea
Idea will come to you
Will you come to me?
You're too possessive
I'm a free spirit
What am I hearing?
What?
Why are there
gossips about you?
What gossips?
People near the
club were saying...
you were flirting
with a young girl
Is that true?
Are you mad?
Do I have the
age for all these?
I don't trust you
And... why did you
start painting at this age?
Just like that...
for my satisfaction
I am afraid that you might
become an artist one day
What is there
to be afraid of?
Artists are not criminals
I don't want you
to be an artist
Why?
Artists are characterless
What?
Characterless?
How can you say that?
Listen, artists
create characters. Ok?
Don't say
such silly things
Everyone knows...
Artists get attracted
to many girls
Ah...
artists are
broad-minded
that's why
I don't want you
to be broad-minded
Strange
What most people say
can't be wrong
Ah... most people in
our country are ignorants
Ignore them!
My father also says so
So he is also an ignorant?
Oh, your father
also says so?
Strange!
So my father
is an ignorant
That's what you
mean, isn't it?
No no...
not exactly... but...
Strange
From today,
cook your own food
otherwise,
keep starving
Strange
Brother, were you
able to paint?
Yes
Was it a strong evidence?
No, there was no
decision made today
Ok... but at least you
have become an artist
That's the benefit
There's no loss, right?
There is loss
There is loss?
What's the loss?
I'll have to starve today
Oh... good good,
very good
The more you starve,
better the artist you'll become
Ok, I'll leave now. See you!
Full mad!
[A splash]
Why are you crying?
I just lost my dream
Don't cry
Dreams perish
every moment,
so that new
dreams are born
I'll never see
my dream again
Look at me,
I'm your
new dream
[Hums a spiritual song]
Hey brother
Hello!
What's the time?
8:10
8:10
We must not forget
the purpose of education
The purpose of education is
not just ensuring a lavish lifestyle
Education must
open your eyes
Education helps you see
beyond what your eyes see
The true power of mankind
lies in their education,
not in their weapons
Education makes you
liberal, tolerant and peaceful
Education should not only
enable you to answer questions,
it should also
enable you to raise them
Yes, an educated mind
must raise questions
Blind faith
is not education!
Dumb obedience
is not education!
Even after
getting educated,
if you are unable to
question your own conditioning,
what's the use
of such education?
Hey listen,
listen...
wait for a minute
I have something to ask
What?
Hey... that guy...
British...
I'm curious
about his letters
No no,
it's a secret
crazy fellow
just forget that
Hey listen,
I won't tell anyone
I swear...
I won't disclose
Why are you scared?
I... I promise
I'll keep it secret
Ok
What do you
want to know?
Can we open a bottle?
Do you have
some time to spare?
Why should I
tell you my secrets?
What's the problem?
You know I'm mad,
Even if I say,
will people believe me?
There's no
reason to be hesitant
you can say
go ahead
You are a
clever mad fellow!
But I feel...
you're a
good human being
That's why
I'm saying, ok?
British...
British thinks that his girlfriend
is married and she lives in London
Oh, he thinks so?
Yes...
it may not be true
He also thinks that...
... he writes great
poems in English,
and he wants to send the
poems to his girlfriend in London
to get them published
in some English magazines
Oh... I see
Ok, but...
how did you
know all these?
Liquor!
Liquor is a strange
blessing to mankind
Hmm
understood
So you are taking
advantage of his dreams
Exactly!
No... it's unethical,
completely unethical
Not at all
I also give him money
every three months
saying that
the money
comes from London
Oh... wow
You have brains
I must admit
you have brains for sure
Wow!
Ok, tell me something...
If you give him
the money back,
what is your profit then?
I collect one
poem every month
and 250 rupees each time
Every three-four months,
I give him 400-500 rupees
Not the same
amount every time
So he thinks that all his
poems are not equally sellable
This fluctuation in returns
convinces him that
the money genuinely comes...
... from the
London based magazines
Oh great
You are a...
... very smart
businessman
You know how
to cheat people
No, I'm not
cheating him
I'm helping him
What help?
I keep his
dreams alive
That keeps him hopeful
What's there in
a life without dreams?
He aspires...
... to become a
great poet one day
The whole world
will know him,
the whole world!
He hopes his girlfriend will
come back to him one day,
at least... she
would give him a call
And with these dreams,
he goes to sleep
and he wakes up
with a lot of hope
Yes, it's true that...
... I cheat him
to make some profit,
but I also give him
a purpose to live
Ok, tell me,
you crazy fellow,
is it a bad deal?
For the first time
in my life, it feels that...
... even a cheat is
doing something good
So tell me bro,
how is my Idea?
Your Idea...
Your Idea is fantastic!
[Splashing sound]
So, your Idea
let you down?
No, she gave me a
chance to build a new dream
Don't you have
anything else to think about?
My thoughts revolve around
you, my dreams, and my Idea
You still consider
her to be your Idea?
Hopes never die
Why are you thinking
of selling your land?
How do you know?
I can read your mind
I don't have any income
It's true that you send me
the money every three months,
but you know Shree,
I spend much more in
sending you the poems
I know that
You know that?
Yes, I know
Why don't you teach
the young children here?
You'll love teaching,
and you'll also earn well
What will I teach them?
Teach them
how to dream
And you think they
will pay me for that?
Nowadays parents are only
bothered about their children's result
Only the score,
nothing else matters
If you were a father,
would you have
thought differently?
Of course!
There's a lot
beyond the syllabus
I would take my son
to the sea and the mountain,
I would show
him the open sky,
the morning Sun,
make him feel
the fresh air,
I would let him get
drenched in the monsoon rain,
play in the mud,
and roll on the sand,
I would show him
the real nature,
and he would be
a dreamer like me
What if it's a 'she'?
I would leave it upto you
You're a bad father
No,
I'll just give you a
chance to be a good mother
Strange dreams!
Shree,
will you marry me?
A bad question to ask!
How far?
We are almost there
Hey look
Don't they look like us?
Oh my God!
They look
exactly like us!
Should I wake them up?
Are they asleep?
Not sure
Don't call them,
I'm feeling scared
Why?
They look so lifeless
Don't say like that
My legs are paining,
take me home
Come
[Hums a philosophical song]
Hello!
Hey brother
What's the time?
Brother, what's the time?
8:18
How has the
time changed today?
Today I'm
reading Page 3
Time has changed!
How did it change?
Time...
Time has changed!
Let's move fast
Time has changed!
Faster, faster
Time has changed!
[A splash]
The Sun hasn't risen
for three days now
I told Biren to bring
that mad man here
He claims to
have caught the Sun
He is mad!
Why do you
take him seriously?
Is he normal?
The Sun hasn't
risen for three days
Is this normal?
Hey!
Someone is coming...
isn't he the mad man?
Hey you,
mad fellow
Listen!
We heard that
you've caught the Sun?
So, you heard...
... that I've
caught the Sun?
But I haven't spread
this good news yet
How did you hear it?
Stop your
nonsense!
You know why
the Sun isn't rising
Yes, I know
The Sun will
never rise again
So, the Sun
will never rise,
and it
will never set
You Mothe...
Shut up, shut up!
Don't use
cuss words!
The Sun...
The Sun is with me
Where?
Here!
In my bag!
Hey, stop, stop!
You'll burn your hands
Do you know...
The Sun is...
... a ball of fire
If you touch,
you'll be burnt
You can't touch it
How are you
keeping it then?
I have caught it
so I'll be
able to keep it
But you can't take it
Ok
so you set it
free yourself
Until my...
Until my son returns,
I can't set the Sun free
Your son died long back
Shut up!
Shut up, you rascal!
The Sun is not
your paternal property
Set it free!
No!
I won't set it free
I won't!
You can't make
our world dark
You bloody old...
Shut up!
Shut up right now!
You!
It's you who have
made this world dark
You all are blind fools!
Illiterates!
Give the Sun back!
You give
my son back
Give back,
give back my son
Now you're
crossing limits
Hey listen!
Let me make it clear,
You can't set the
Sun free as long as I'm alive
Ok, then
get ready to die
I don't care!
[Punches, blows and groans]
Oh... he might die
The Sun won't rise till he dies
He must die!
The Sun is back! It's morning!
May his soul rest in peace
Fate!
Now I know you!
But it's a little too late!
So, you couldn't
find your Idea?
No sir
Sir,
I kept waiting for her
May be, she was
lost in the darkness
Oh, so you were
waiting for her?
You couldn't move your
lazy body to search for her?
Sir I went
searching for her
But it was
of no use!
Both of you are...
worthless!
Sir, I don't
know where she is
Please give us
little more time
No!
I'll give my
verdict today!
Ok, tell me
how does
she look like?
Beautiful
Curly long hair
Deep eyes
Great figure
What else?
She is always
in traditional attires
I know the one
you're searching for
She is waiting there
Hey, stop, listen!
Listen!
Stop!
Stop!
Keep searching for her
She is no one's property
Idea is just
an inspiration!
I brought you here
to say a few words
Why allow
'Fate' to decide?
You're the master
of your own fate
Who are you?
I am
your realization
Who knows how
longer shall I live?
Hey stop!
Stop!
Why are you running
after the same Idea?
Can't you
find a new Idea?
Hey!
What
are you doing?
Let me go!
Sir,
this is our new Idea
Hey listen,
don't do this
Please help me
Why should we help you?
You help yourself
Find a new Idea
Hey, something is
tickling on my tummy
What is it?
Crab
Crab?
Yes sir,
there are
huge crabs here
They have strong claws
and they
are flesh-eaters
It was near my tummy,
now it's moving down
(A hand made rose)
Hi
Hello
I want to
tell you something
What?
I love you Idea
(offering the hand made rose)
Will you be mine?
What?
Where do you stay?
I stay far away,
that way
beyond the horizon
where the birds swim,
and the fishes fly
We paint our world,
and we don't lie
Really?
Yes, will you
come with me?
So the kid found his Idea
But the world lost her
[Blowing of conch]
[Baby crying]
My child!
She may not be your child
she could be an Idea
or just a figment
of your imagination
She is just an Idea
Which place is this?
This is our land
It's a wonderland,
where imaginations become real
Isn't that
impossible and absurd?
If you think freely
everything is possible
Who is that guy?
He is a poet,
he writes poems in English,
and aimlessly roams around
Poet?
and writes in English?
This seems
to be a rural land
How can people
be so educated here?
Didn't I say
it's a wonderland?
In our land, education
isn't influenced by economy
And who is this man?
He is a lazy man
He keeps reading,
and keeps imagining
Looks engrossed
Oh my God!
Is he a man or a demon?
Neither a man, nor a demon
He is the 'Fate'
Fate??
Yes... Fate
Why does he look so hyper?
Is he 'Fate' or 'Ill-Fate'?
Shh... quiet
Fate is dangerous
Why're you poking him?
Who is this?
Looks like a mad man
Depends on how
you want to interpret
Hey, look there...
there's someone
walking on the sand
Who is he?
He's a local postman
He posts letters
What is he doing there?
Ah, why do you ask
so many questions?
Idea
You're too old
to play with kids
[Slap]
What happened?
A dream...
of ghost?
Yes
Male ghost
or a female ghost?
I don't remember
Don't you have any work?
Lazy fellow...
just keep reading the paper
I've to do everything
Why are you sitting idle?
There's no point in saying
Disgusting!
Simply wasting time
Can take up some small work...
... but no
His life will go on like this
I keep saying,
but who cares?
Just keep sitting idle
[Hums a traditional song]
Hey man!
What's the time?
8:10
Good Morning children
Every morning
seems to be good
when I see so many...
...bright faces
in front of me
While talking to you
I feel
I am talking to the future
Yes,
you are the future
Strange!
What's wrong?
Why are you
following me?
No no...
I...
I want...
... you to be safe
I am safe
Please go!
Why are you
avoiding me?
People say
you aren't normal
you're possessed!
We all are possessed
Are you...
... scared of ghosts?
Yes
Even ghosts
are scared of you
It's a...
... mutual
exchange of fear
You must be married
How many children?
Why don't you answer?
Please leave me alone
Loneliness
is very painful
you haven't
experienced it
Hey listen!
I'm sorry
Why are you sorry?
Don't be sorry
Don't be sorry
What's your age?
Have you
ever seen death?
I have seen it
I've seen
death very closely
in my arms
when my
son was dying
Hey
I forgot to
pay for the tea
No problem
I'll pay it
You didn't
keep your word
you said you
will never leave me
You said you'll get a
job to take care of a family
Did you keep your word?
I'm not meant for a job
How many poems
do you write in a day?
One
Just one?
You think it's very easy?
No
How long do you
take to write one poem?
Once I start...
... it takes 10-15 minutes
Then what do you do
for the rest of the day?
I search for my Idea
It's not your Idea
Of course it's mine
If it was your Idea,
you wouldn't
need to search for it
She is mine
That's what you think
Shree
how are you doing?
Good
I heard...
London is a very big city
Yes, it is
How do the people look like?
Like you and me
Do they like my poems?
Of course they
love your poems
They wonder...
... how an Indian poet
knows English so well
Really?
Tell me
how many
people read my poems?
Many
You're a very
popular poet in London
That's why the
magazines pay you
and I send you the
money every three months
Shree...
Can I come
to London once?
I want to see you
Do you know
how far London is?
You need a lot
of money to travel
Will you
never return home?
May be I will
One day I'll return
with my grand children
and show
them their roots
Can't you call me once?
I haven't heard
your voice for so long
I had told you
you'll never
hear me again
Shree...
please listen to me
Hey Ali,
Ali Ali Ali
I... I need a help
What... tell me
I... I need...
I need a net
Net?
Yes
Why?
Will you catch fishes?
Fishes?
No no no...
I won't catch fishes
I... I won't catch fishes
Then?
I'll...
I'll catch the Sun
What??
I'll catch the Sun,
I'll catch the Sun...
A fortune-teller told me...
my son will
be back to life if...
... I can catch the Sun
I've to stop
the Sun from rising
Hey crazy fellow,
The Sun is in the sky
how will you catch it?
I'll catch it from the water
from the water
Ok great
You pay me the rent,
I'll give you a fish-net
Yes, yes I'll pay
Ok, I'll give you the net
I'll pay, I'll pay
Poet
Poet
Poet, where are you?
Yes, tell me
I need to write
a serious poem this time
Why?
Why not entertaining?
I'm heart-broken
I'm not in a mood
to entertain others
A serious poem
Write down
My eyes are red
I'll move to the bed
Bed sheets are hot
I love them a lot
My eyes are red
I'll move to the bed
Bed sheets are hot
I love them a lot
Time will pass
Just one more glass
Life is to cheer
Good night dear
Time will pass
Just one more glass
Life is to cheer
Good night dear
Why do you
call me so often?
You're my dream
How can I live without you?
I reside in the
minds of weak people
Did I say I'm strong?
You don't want to
be a loser I suppose
I don't want to
be a winner either
Then why are you
crying over your lost Idea?
Lost Idea?
I never lost her,
and I never will
OK
Stay with your Idea then
Why do you need me?
Aren't you being jealous?
Shouldn't I be?
I need your guidance
I can't guide you
Why?
Because I don't have
the time to take control
Why so?
The dawn is breaking
Idea!
Idea!
Listen to me
Idea!
Idea!
Hey,
did you like it?
Like what?
Naughty fellow
I was talking
about the news
Which news?
Oh my God!
There were two full
pages of the supplement
and you didn't read it?
No, I didn't
What's the news about?
Of course it's about me
I love club sandwich
French fries
So?
What's the news?
That's the news!
Also I'm on diet
for my next film
So what will I do?
You stupid fellow!
Follow the news
be a man of
progressive thought
You know,
my next film is
very very very different
A college student Ravi,
falls in love with a girl
and she is a classmate
The girl...
... is the best
student of the college
But...
Ravi is not good in studies,
you know,
that's the
difference in the movie
It's really different
You know,
Ravi proposes
so many times
but the girl
keeps refusing
that's the
interesting part, you know
But three years later
they meet at London
The girl goes for
a job assignment
and...
Ravi opens a
small resturant there
There is a twist
and it's really
different you know
Finally they decided
they love each other
they want to get married
But... the girl's
parents didn't... you know
they don't like the guy
And that's the
twist in the movie
There is lot of problems
from the girl's family
and it's really
really different
And there is so
much of surprise
and you know,
there is twist,
suspense,
surprises
It's really really
really different!
Different?
What's so
different about it?
Move aside!
Read the news!
My entire diet chart
is also there in the article
you should take some
interest in art and culture
How are art and culture
linked to your diet chart?
You ask very silly questions
you know
the entire supplement
is on art and culture
The reporter is
uncultured, that's why
Don't waste my time
I need to find my Idea
Give way!
Did you read my news?
No
What happened?
Guess what
Oh
I'm so sorry
I didn't know
Fifth page
at the bottom
small block on
the right side
I'll read surely
I'm fortunate that my
news came out in the paper
Hey
We need
women empowerment
Are you listening?
Yes, I am
Did you read our news?
It was on the sixth page
No, I didn't
get time
Our protests are
not important to you?
You bloody old
male chauvnist!
That's not the
right way to speak
It's men like you who
call us the weaker sex
Don't talk rubbish
Let me go
We have always been
the neglected gender
I'll read about your
grievances sometime later
Why later?
Just because we
are the weaker sex?
Who says you
are the weaker sex?
You're not
Now move
Let me go
But you should
support our cause
Move!
Did you read about me?
No
But I've seen your
photo somewhere
The world knows me
I dictate...
... your future
Oh
Are you a
fortune-teller?
No, you damn fool
I am the President
of the 'Machine Country'
Do you know
why I came to India?
Why you came here...
... how will I know?
You are...
... an illiterate!
Why?
Because I don't
keep track of you?
If you want to
develop yourself...
... and your nation,
you will have to
keep a track of me...
... and my machine country
Right now, I'm
searching for my Idea
Please excuse me
Idea??
To give birth to an Idea,
you need economic stability
Sir, she is my Idea,
she is very different
What Idea?
The dirty soil...
... of your country,
can never give birth...
... to any Idea
This soil is all I need
I don't need
your concrete cages
I'm in a hurry
Please excuse me
Sir,
Idea is mine!
He's a cheat your honor,
Idea is mine!
Why should
I believe you?
Sir, look
into my eyes,
am I not
speaking the truth?
Hard to
say my son,
I need evidence!
Yesterday I was telling you
about the history of our land
It struck me that...
I haven't explained
you what history means
and why it is
so important for us
As you might know
history is the
exploration of the past
but that doesn't mean
it has no
relevance to the present
When you study history,
you go through the
happenings of the past
and gather some experience
It is that experience which
helps you frame the future
I'll say...
history is very
much there... everywhere
We are nothing
but reflections of history
History is beyond
emperors and emperorship,
beyond battles,
architecture and renaissance
History is a search
of our own roots
Every moment gone by
is a part of history
We are nothing but floating
entities in an endless ocean
To attach an
identity to our existence,
we need to place ourselves
in the historical time-frame
Hey British!
Your girlfriend has
sent this from London
My money has come!
Here
One minute... please
Here, please
post this to her
Another fifty bucks
Rates have increased
Rates are going too high
Actually... you know what...
Hey, what's the matter?
Tell me
I won't disclose
to anyone, promise
I earn little
from my poems
and spend much more in
couriering them to London
Really?
But please don't
tell it to anyone
it will be very embarrassing
I know my
poems sell well
but I think
the magazines
don't pay well
Hey British, look bro...
think of the
poets in our country
they have nothing
Poets of our country
die on the streets
At least you
get some returns
And most importantly,
you'll soon become
an international figure
That's true
To achieve something big,
one must struggle
One day when I'll
attain great success,
I'll give you a grand party
and I'll always
be grateful to you
Why so?
Because you're the channel
between me and my success
Oh... that's my job
Hey, listen
A small help...
Can you... can you
please get me her number?
No... sorry
If there's no number on
the envelope, what can I do?
Hmm... Ok
Hello
Hello
What are you doing?
Can't you see
I'm painting?
I don't see your canvas
Here here... here it is
But I don't see it
Only pure minds
can see my canvas
You must be joking
No no... I'm not joking
Then why can't
I see the canvas?
Oh... that's because
your mind isn't here
Yes
that's true
Why?
What's bothering you?
You want to hear?
Yes... unless
it is too personal
Actually, few days back,
an Idea came to my mind
She...
she changed
my perceptions
She is very beautiful
And...
And you...
... fell in love
Yes, but I don't
see her anymore
Ok, tell me...
... did she fall
in love with you?
That's what
I thought, but...
But now you have doubts
Yes, because that
stupid guy... British...
British?
British... you
mean that poet,
whose girlfriend
stays in London?
Yes yes
He claims
that Idea is his
But I know Idea is mine
We went to
'Fate' for justice
but he asked for evidence
Ok...
Are you a Poet?
No no
Then? A painter?
writer?
music composer?
researcher?
scientist?
No
Then what will
you do with an Idea?
She came to me
She is mine
I need an evidence
Can you
help me out?
Ok...
Tell me...
Can you imagine?
Imagine?
Yes... can you imagine...
I mean...
Can you think
beyond reality?
No, nothing as such...
Why are you alive then?
What do you mean?
You don't know yourself
Idea was...
... your imagination
No no
She came to me
She is real
Good good
Very good
Your words prove that...
your imaginations
are very real
Go go... now go
Go and make a painting
That will be your evidence
Painting?
I can't
I have never
learnt painting
Have you ever learnt...
... how to breathe?
Or learnt how to sleep?
No
Listen,
On a canvas...
... just play
with some colors
What else?
That's it!
You don't need to
force yourself to think
Human beings...
trees... sky...
... you don't need
to think of them
Just...
play with your colors
Whatever will
be the outcome
is your true
feelings for your Idea
Then, you're saying...
the painting will
serve as my evidence?
Yes, of course
Ok, go go...
now you go
Let me work, now go
May I know what
you are painting?
What am I painting?
I am painting my mind
Are you troubled too?
Actually...
the morning sky...
... is staying cloudy
So?
So I'm unable
to see the sunrise
I didn't understand
Oh
I should see the Sun
popping up from the sea
that's when I'll catch it
Catch what?
Are you mad?
What am I talking about?
About the Sun
So why are you
asking stupid questions?
You'll catch the Sun?
You are completely mad
Time will reveal
who is actually mad
Go go, you go
Now let me work
Go go, you go now
[Hums a devotional song]
Hello brother
What's the time?
Brother
8:10
8:10
British,
Do you have
an evidence?
Yes Sir
And you?
Sir, evidence is
here in my hands
Ok
you're an old man,
so let's start with you
Sir I have
made this painting
So what?
Sir, it's the real proof
What's the proof?
If I draw a
sketch of Cleopatra,
does it mean
Cleopatra is mine?
Nonsense!
Sir I've not
drawn her sketch
Then what
have you drawn?
Sir...
Sir, I've painted my mind
That's the proof
What I've painted is
my true feelings for Idea
Shut up!
Do I look like
a stupid?
No Sir...
why are you saying so?
What nonsense is this?
Sir, my...
my feelings sir
Feelings?
Acting too smart
No Sir
Shut up!
Sir, Idea is mine
Shut up!
British
Sir I've written a poem
Poem?
Do you think poem
can be an evidence?
Why not sir?
Let's see what
rubbish you've written
Sir, please try to
catch the inner meaning
Inner meaning?
Yes sir, this is poetry
you need to
analyze it carefully
Hey you
small British rascal,
Do you think
I'm illiterate?
No Sir
Just because I'm Indian,
you think
I am not litter?
You illiterate fool!
Sir, litter means...
Shut up!
You are not
the only litter
I all litter
The all are litter
Don't teach me English
You scoundrel!
Sorry sir
Let me read
She is still in my mind
In memory...
In memories left behind
Her cat and my mouse
I have left in the house
What does this mean?
Sir, inner meanings are there
Nonsense!
I saw her everywhere
And touched her with care
So near and so far
I was lying on top of her
Heart beats went high
Love is not a lie
She moved like a wave
And I was trapped in a cave
What is this?
Poetry, sir
This is vulgar poetry!
Why sir?
Why sir?
What have you written?
She moved like a wave,
And I was trapped in a cave
Shameless rascal!
Sir, these lines
came to my mind
Vulgar thought!
Only dreaming of sex!
Why sir? Why do
you say sex is vulgar?
Listen to this little brat
He'll spoil our culture
Shameless fellow
And he's asking -
why is sex vulgar?
As if he doesn't know
Sir, you also have children
Yes, so?
Sir, are they
gifted by God?
No sir
your children
must be your's
what has God
to do with them?
Sir,
so what is your
decision, sir?
No decision today
We'll meet again
And this time,
you'll have to
bring Idea here
Whoever brings Idea,
Idea will be his
Sir when will be
the next meeting?
Sir, please grant
us some time
We will meet
on the day
when the
Sun is visible
right over our heads
in clear sky
Sir, if tomorrow's
sky stays clear?
Then we'll
meet tomorrow
But we need
some time sir
Who is the judge?
You, sir
Who?
You, sir
Then who will decide
the next meeting?
You, sir
You, sir
Now go!
Search for your Idea
Hey!
My fees?
There's no hunger,
no drought, no tension
everyone is busy in art
It's a new fashion
Everyone is an artist
Nonsense!
Hey, hey!
What are you doing?
Posting a letter
What?
You are putting
it in the river
and saying that
you're posting the letter?
Whose letter was it?
British
British?
It could be his poem?
Yes, that's his poem
to be sent to his
girlfriend in London
And you spoilt it like this
I didn't spoil it
I was just posting it
This is a holy river
If luck favors,
it will find its
way to London
Listen,
don't tell
it to anyone
Why?
Are you afraid
of getting caught?
I'll deny it
People will think your
madness has crossed all limits
They'll force you
into the mental asylum
So, for your own good,
don't tell it to anyone
Ok Ok
I won't tell
anything to anyone
Ok then,
I've to go now
Hey brother,
Listen, I've
something to tell you
I think...
you're a...
Cheater!
Yes, that's partially true
Idea
will you be mine?
What's that?
A rose
Where did you get it from?
I plucked it,
just for you
For me?
Yes
I really don't know I to say
but I love you
Will you be mine?
I'll always love you,
I'll always be kind to you
You'll be kind to me?
If you're so cruel to
this small beautiful flower,
how will you be kind to me?
Don't ever express your
love with such cruel gestures
But expressing love
with a rose is a tradition
Then change it
Make me a channel
of your peace
Where there is hatred,
let me bring your love
Where there is injury,
your pardon Lord
And where there's doubt,
true faith in you
Make me a channel
of your peace
Where there's despair in life,
let me bring hope
Where there is darkness-
only light
And where there's sadness,
ever joy
Oh Master, grant that
I may never seek
So much to be consoled
as to console
To be understood,
as to understand
To be loved,
as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel
of your peace
It is in pardoning
that we are pardoned
In giving ourselves
that we receive
And in dying that
we're born to eternal life
Oh Master, grant that
I may never seek
So much to be consoled
as to console
To be understood,
as to understand
To be loved,
as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel
of your peace
Where there is hatred,
let me bring your love
Where there is injury,
your pardon Lord
And where there's doubt,
true faith in you
[Hums a cheerful folk song]
Hey brother
Hello!
What's the time?
8:10
Yes... 8:10
Where shall I
search for you?
I am an old man
You can't
search for an Idea
Idea will come to you
Will you come to me?
You're too possessive
I'm a free spirit
What am I hearing?
What?
Why are there
gossips about you?
What gossips?
People near the
club were saying...
you were flirting
with a young girl
Is that true?
Are you mad?
Do I have the
age for all these?
I don't trust you
And... why did you
start painting at this age?
Just like that...
for my satisfaction
I am afraid that you might
become an artist one day
What is there
to be afraid of?
Artists are not criminals
I don't want you
to be an artist
Why?
Artists are characterless
What?
Characterless?
How can you say that?
Listen, artists
create characters. Ok?
Don't say
such silly things
Everyone knows...
Artists get attracted
to many girls
Ah...
artists are
broad-minded
that's why
I don't want you
to be broad-minded
Strange
What most people say
can't be wrong
Ah... most people in
our country are ignorants
Ignore them!
My father also says so
So he is also an ignorant?
Oh, your father
also says so?
Strange!
So my father
is an ignorant
That's what you
mean, isn't it?
No no...
not exactly... but...
Strange
From today,
cook your own food
otherwise,
keep starving
Strange
Brother, were you
able to paint?
Yes
Was it a strong evidence?
No, there was no
decision made today
Ok... but at least you
have become an artist
That's the benefit
There's no loss, right?
There is loss
There is loss?
What's the loss?
I'll have to starve today
Oh... good good,
very good
The more you starve,
better the artist you'll become
Ok, I'll leave now. See you!
Full mad!
[A splash]
Why are you crying?
I just lost my dream
Don't cry
Dreams perish
every moment,
so that new
dreams are born
I'll never see
my dream again
Look at me,
I'm your
new dream
[Hums a spiritual song]
Hey brother
Hello!
What's the time?
8:10

We must not forget
the purpose of education
The purpose of education is
not just ensuring a lavish lifestyle
Education must
open your eyes
Education helps you see
beyond what your eyes see
The true power of mankind
lies in their education,
not in their weapons
Education makes you
liberal, tolerant and peaceful
Education should not only
enable you to answer questions,
it should also
enable you to raise them
Yes, an educated mind
must raise questions
Blind faith
is not education!
Dumb obedience
is not education!
Even after
getting educated,
if you are unable to
question your own conditioning,
what's the use
of such education?
Hey listen,
listen...
wait for a minute
I have something to ask
What?
Hey... that guy...
British...
I'm curious
about his letters
No no,
it's a secret
crazy fellow
just forget that
Hey listen,
I won't tell anyone
I swear...
I won't disclose
Why are you scared?
I... I promise
I'll keep it secret
Ok
What do you
want to know?
Can we open a bottle?
Do you have
some time to spare?
Why should I
tell you my secrets?
What's the problem?
You know I'm mad,
Even if I say,
will people believe me?
There's no
reason to be hesitant
you can say
go ahead
You are a
clever mad fellow!
But I feel...
you're a
good human being
That's why
I'm saying, ok?
British...
British thinks that his girlfriend
is married and she lives in London
Oh, he thinks so?
Yes...
it may not be true
He also thinks that...
... he writes great
poems in English,
and he wants to send the
poems to his girlfriend in London
to get them published
in some English magazines
Oh... I see
Ok, but...
how did you
know all these?
Liquor!
Liquor is a strange
blessing to mankind
Hmm
understood
So you are taking
advantage of his dreams
Exactly!
No... it's unethical,
completely unethical
Not at all
I also give him money
every three months
saying that
the money
comes from London
Oh... wow
You have brains
I must admit
you have brains for sure
Wow!
Ok, tell me something...
If you give him
the money back,
what is your profit then?
I collect one
poem every month
and 250 rupees each time
Every three-four months,
I give him 400-500 rupees
Not the same
amount every time
So he thinks that all his
poems are not equally sellable
This fluctuation in returns
convinces him that
the money genuinely comes...
... from the
London based magazines
Oh great
You are a...
... very smart
businessman
You know how
to cheat people
No, I'm not
cheating him
I'm helping him
What help?
I keep his
dreams alive
That keeps him hopeful
What's there in
a life without dreams?
He aspires...
... to become a
great poet one day
The whole world
will know him,
the whole world!
He hopes his girlfriend will
come back to him one day,
at least... she
would give him a call
And with these dreams,
he goes to sleep
and he wakes up
with a lot of hope
Yes, it's true that...
... I cheat him
to make some profit,
but I also give him
a purpose to live
Ok, tell me,
you crazy fellow,
is it a bad deal?
For the first time
in my life, it feels that...
... even a cheat is
doing something good
So tell me bro,
how is my Idea?
Your Idea...
Your Idea is fantastic!
[Splashing sound]
So, your Idea
let you down?
No, she gave me a
chance to build a new dream
Don't you have
anything else to think about?
My thoughts revolve around
you, my dreams, and my Idea
You still consider
her to be your Idea?
Hopes never die
Why are you thinking
of selling your land?
How do you know?
I can read your mind
I don't have any income
It's true that you send me
the money every three months,
but you know Shree,
I spend much more in
sending you the poems
I know that
You know that?
Yes, I know
Why don't you teach
the young children here?
You'll love teaching,
and you'll also earn well
What will I teach them?
Teach them
how to dream
And you think they
will pay me for that?
Nowadays parents are only
bothered about their children's result
Only the score,
nothing else matters
If you were a father,
would you have
thought differently?
Of course!
There's a lot
beyond the syllabus
I would take my son
to the sea and the mountain,
I would show
him the open sky,
the morning Sun,
make him feel
the fresh air,
I would let him get
drenched in the monsoon rain,
play in the mud,
and roll on the sand,
I would show him
the real nature,
and he would be
a dreamer like me
What if it's a 'she'?
I would leave it upto you
You're a bad father
No,
I'll just give you a
chance to be a good mother
Strange dreams!
Shree,
will you marry me?
A bad question to ask!
How far?
We are almost there
Hey look
Don't they look like us?
Oh my God!
They look
exactly like us!
Should I wake them up?
Are they asleep?
Not sure
Don't call them,
I'm feeling scared
Why?
They look so lifeless
Don't say like that
My legs are paining,
take me home
Come
[Hums a philosophical song]
Hello!
Hey brother
What's the time?
Brother, what's the time?
8:18
How has the
time changed today?
Today I'm
reading Page 3
Time has changed!
How did it change?
Time...
Time has changed!
Let's move fast
Time has changed!
Faster, faster
Time has changed!
[A splash]
The Sun hasn't risen
for three days now
I told Biren to bring
that mad man here
He claims to
have caught the Sun
He is mad!
Why do you
take him seriously?
Is he normal?
The Sun hasn't
risen for three days
Is this normal?
Hey!
Someone is coming...
isn't he the mad man?
Hey you,
mad fellow
Listen!
We heard that
you've caught the Sun?
So, you heard...
... that I've
caught the Sun?
But I haven't spread
this good news yet
How did you hear it?
Stop your
nonsense!
You know why
the Sun isn't rising
Yes, I know
The Sun will
never rise again
So, the Sun
will never rise,
and it
will never set
You Mothe...
Shut up, shut up!
Don't use
cuss words!
The Sun...
The Sun is with me
Where?
Here!
In my bag!
Hey, stop, stop!
You'll burn your hands
Do you know...
The Sun is...
... a ball of fire
If you touch,
you'll be burnt
You can't touch it
How are you
keeping it then?
I have caught it
so I'll be
able to keep it
But you can't take it
Ok
so you set it
free yourself
Until my...
Until my son returns,
I can't set the Sun free
Your son died long back
Shut up!
Shut up, you rascal!
The Sun is not
your paternal property
Set it free!
No!
I won't set it free
I won't!
You can't make
our world dark
You bloody old...
Shut up!
Shut up right now!
You!
It's you who have
made this world dark
You all are blind fools!
Illiterates!
Give the Sun back!
You give
my son back
Give back,
give back my son
Now you're
crossing limits
Hey listen!
Let me make it clear,
You can't set the
Sun free as long as I'm alive
Ok, then
get ready to die
I don't care!
[Punches, blows and groans]
Oh... he might die
The Sun won't rise till he dies
He must die!
The Sun is back! It's morning!
May his soul rest in peace
Fate!
Now I know you!
But it's a little too late!
So, you couldn't
find your Idea?
No sir
Sir,
I kept waiting for her
May be, she was
lost in the darkness
Oh, so you were
waiting for her?
You couldn't move your
lazy body to search for her?
Sir I went
searching for her
But it was
of no use!
Both of you are...
worthless!
Sir, I don't
know where she is
Please give us
little more time
No!
I'll give my
verdict today!
Ok, tell me
how does
she look like?
Beautiful
Curly long hair
Deep eyes
Great figure
What else?
She is always
in traditional attires
I know the one
you're searching for
She is waiting there
Hey, stop, listen!
Listen!
Stop!
Stop!
Keep searching for her
She is no one's property
Idea is just
an inspiration!
I brought you here
to say a few words
Why allow
'Fate' to decide?
You're the master
of your own fate
Who are you?
I am
your realization
Who knows how
longer shall I live?
Hey stop!
Stop!
Why are you running
after the same Idea?
Can't you
find a new Idea?
Hey!
What
are you doing?
Let me go!
Sir,
this is our new Idea
Hey listen,
don't do this
Please help me
Why should we help you?
You help yourself
Find a new Idea
Hey, something is
tickling on my tummy
What is it?
Crab
Crab?
Yes sir,
there are
huge crabs here
They have strong claws
and they
are flesh-eaters
It was near my tummy,
now it's moving down
(A hand made rose)
Hi
Hello
I want to
tell you something
What?
I love you Idea
(offering the hand made rose)
Will you be mine?
What?
Where do you stay?
I stay far away,
that way
beyond the horizon
where the birds swim,
and the fishes fly
We paint our world,
and we don't lie
Really?
Yes, will you
come with me?
So the kid found his Idea
But the world lost her
