01x08 - Bandish Bandits

[bunniefuu]

You're such a fraud.

What is this?

This is the moment

when I fell in love with you.

And now you're not

even answering my calls.

So I am consoling myself

watching this video.

I even remember the

background vocals now.

I am sorry, Radhe.

I am really sorry.

I didn't want to meet you until

I could say congratulations.

I actually mean it.

I don't want to be petty.

I don't want to feel this way, but

This is a huge opportunity for you.

- And you deserve this.

- Tamanna

I am not going to sing with Queen Eli.

Don't

Don't turn this down because of me.

This will solve all

your money problems.

I'll find another way to make money.

Tamanna, it wasn't

my dream to sing with her.

And honestly

it shouldn't be yours either.

Tamanna, you're a big star.

You don't have to

be anyone's 'sidekick'.

Now stop wallowing

and making sexy faces.

And let's make another amazing song.

Come on.

Radhe, listen

Thank you.

For trying to cheer me up.

But it's all over now.

Don't go, Radhe.

He cannot scare us, mother.

He wants to provoke us.

- And if you go

- Mother

If I don't go,

it will make us look weak.

See you.

I know I am repeating myself,

but tonight is very special for me.

Thanks so much for

accepting my invitation.

Pleasure is all mine.

I just hope all this

is worth your time.

Jodhpur finally has a music school.

I

Radhe.

Welcome.

I am really glad to see you here.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Why wouldn't I?

I would have been heartbroken

if you hadn't shown up.

Please enjoy the show.

I'll get an earful from Panditji.

Sit.

What is the condition

of Panditji's ear?

It's only getting worse.

Did you take him to the hospital?

My music-loving friends.

I welcome everyone from the bottom

of my heart to this beautiful evening.

The music we'll be presenting today

is pure and untainted.

This music

belongs to my grandfather

Pandit Kedarnath Rathod's family.

The Bikaner Family.

Last few years this music was lost.

But now we've decided

to spread this music all

over the world in it's purest form.

This evening is special

for another reason.

The upcoming star of our family

is present among us.

I feel proud to introduce him

My nephew

Radhe Singh Rathod.

Radhe, I request you to

sing a rendition from

our family for everyone.

Radhe Rathod, friends.

I thank you for introducing

me with such sweet words.

But

there was one

small misinterpretation.

I am not from the Bikaner Family.

My music is from the Rathod Family

And so I would like to present a 'Thumri'

(Classical) from the Rathod family.

Your Highness, with your permission.

Mr. Yadav, we've managed

to arrange 3.1 million rupees.

What do we do with it?

What else, sir?

Accept this money

and give us a little more

time to arrange for the rest.

Just a little longer.

How shameless.

You've already wasted so much

time of this bank, Mr. Rajender

during which the entire

staff has changed. Take a look.

Change is a rule of nature, Mr. Yadav.

Then here's what you can do.

Take this cheque and leave.

And come back when

you have the entire money.

And remember that he

doesn't waste our time again.

Sir, we managed to arrange

3.1 million in just two months.

Sir, just give us another month.

And we'll arrange for

the remaining 1.9 million.

You see, son. I've seen

through your family's promises.

Listen carefully.

I am giving you a week.

Come back if you can arrange

for the remaining amount in a week

or else be prepared

to vacate your manor.

Here you go.

Now can we get back to our work, Mr.

Rajender?

Papa

Please listen to me.

- Maybe we can

- Listen.

Forgive me.

I'll tell Panditji everything.

No, papa. Panditji

We'll think of something.

I'll sell you patent.

But you pay me two million now.

Yes, no problem!

Anything for Aude.

Are you serious?

You're going to steal his identity?

You're exaggerating, darling

It's just an instrument

You're disgusting!

It's his life's work.

And you don't feel that us whites

have already robbed them of enough?

What are you talking about?

We're not even white.

Your grandmother was half Vietnamese,

and I'm half Moroccan!

That's beside the point!

Are you stupid or what?

You can't even think

beyond the literal.

But me, I don't stamp

on the downtrodden!

It's always been like this - we come,

we take, we come, we take

but enough now!

We don't take your patent. We don't

buy your identity! This is yours.

I sell! You buy. What is the problem?

Devlin yours now.

We're not buying it, that's final!

No, you buy it!

I need money. 20 lakh, you pay me now!

Please

Devlin yours now.

First I think Devlin me.

But my identity

Uncle.

Brother.

Family man

Please keep.

I teach you how to play.

Now you can do your work.

Mr. Bhola.

Please come.

I don't want to meet him.

But he says it's important.

Just hear him out.

f*ck, Arghya.

You've to think of new and

innovative ways of thanking me

because I had to lick their

asses till my tongue went sore.

But I did it again

I've got you another

shot at Queen Eli.

What the f*ck are you saying?

- Hey, f*ck off!

- I love you! Oh my God!

Radhe!

Oh my, God.

How the f*ck did you pull it off?

Because I am a genius.

So the plan is we're going to have a

massive concert in Mumbai next month.

We're going to fly

queen Eli's Music agent.

After that its all up to you.

You just have to blow

his f*cking mind. Okay.

That's great news.

And Tamanna is a fantastic performer.

You can blow anyone's mind.

Look at me.

I never even liked pop music.

But she changed my world.

But there is a small catch.

You'll have to sing live.

Without playback.

But why?

They already know what

a great performer you are.

And now they want to see

what a great singer you are.

So basically, this is not

an opportunity but an insult.

Come on, Tamanna, be reasonable now.

They wanted to call

you for an audition

but I convinced them for a concert.

Because I know when

there's a live audience

you'll just k*ll it, man.

Listen, this is the

best deal I could crack.

I am grateful, Arghya. Honestly.

But if they heard me singing live,

then I have no chance.

No

We have a month to prepare.

You have a great voice.

You can do this.

Okay

My confidence is over, Radhe.

How can I sing in this condition?

Then we'll do it together.

We'll get a live band.

I'll sing in chorus.

You're going to blow Queen

Eli's manager mind with your voice.

We'll work on your intonations.

We will perfect every single

keynote, my guarantee.

One cycle in slow tempo

is as good as two in Dhrut.

And in order to sing in Dhrut you

must practice singing in slow tempo.

When you can sing 14 intonations

then you can sing 28 in Dhrut.

Kuldeep.

Twice.

Four

In order to sing live,

there are three important factors.

Control on your breathing.

Body posture.

And the ability to project your voice.

I cannot hear anything.

Project your voice.

Feels like I am selling

vegetables on the street.

Yes, you should practice that too.

In case, the manager doesn't like it

that's what you'll have to do.

You

You are getting worse.

Again.

If you take a pause at

between every intonation

then you'll always run out of breath.

Again.

Closer.

No.

Let me do.

Fail.

Today was so crazy.

It felt like I was performing

for the first time.

Thank you.

No need to thank me

because this was all you.

Now listen, your flight is on Friday.

I'll see you on the

next day at the concert.

You're not coming with me.

Panditji is letting

me off for only one day.

You don't need to worry, it's all set.

The manager will go crazy.

Wouldn't be my first.

You just have to get in the detail

If you keep working hard like this

then you have a chance of winning.

I have already accepted defeat,

Panditji.

What is this? Turn it off.

The music is from your own family.

Good soundcheck, guys.

Now let's have a rocking show, yeah.

Guys, let's go.

Is the masked man in his green room?

No, ma'am, he hasn't arrived yet.

The number you are calling is

switched off. Please call again later.

The number you are calling is

switched off. Please call again later.

Where is Arghya?

Ma'am, he's that way.

Because sir, I am all alone out here

putting out the fire. With just my d*ck.

The whole audience

is shouting "Masked Man".

I'll handle the crowd.

I'll handle the f*cking agent also.

Just deal with Avantika Roy.

15 missed calls and

dozens of messages.

She just needs to

hear from your mouth

that her f*cking daughter

is going to be fine tonight.

I'll call

How is it going?

How is my mom connected to all this?

It's just

Tell me, Arghya.

Or I am not going

up on that stage today.

And I don't think you

have to worry about Tamanna

I'll talk to her. She listens to me.

But you'll have to

handle that crazy woman.

Call her

No, no, sir, I can't speak to her.

I don't want to call

What the hell just happened?

Hi!

I know there has

been a bit of a mess up.

You can say that again.

As far as I remember we had a deal.

But I think you've completely forgotten

how extensively I've featured you

in my multiple publications

on various platforms.

Yes, you've been very-very kind.

But believe me,

this wasn't our decision to make.

Is Queen Eli a JP Record artist?

Yes, she is.

She is a JP Record artist.

Which is why I came to you.

Rather than Tips,

Universal, or Saregama

who have a much bigger

presence in this country.

And you promised me

that you'll fulfill my daughter's

dream of singing with Queen Eli.

And instead

you hand away

that dream on a platter

to some boy you

dug up in the desert.

I personally apologize

for the goof up.

And we'll do everything

in our capacity

to make her career

as bright as possible.

No, no, no,

don't give me that corporate bullshit.

That's my daughter

we're talking about.

Make Queen Eli happen.

So then

it was all her.

Tamanna, the agent's already here.

And it doesn't matter how.

Just go out there and

grab him by the ba*ls.

It must be something technical

but I think she'll be on soon.

It's okay.

Oh! There she is

It's been a wonderful ride.

And I want to thank each and every

one of you for your love and support.

But I am really sad

to inform you that

Bandish Bandits is over.
