01x05 - Masked Man

Post by bunniefuu »

What the f*ck are you doing here?

I am really sorry, Tamanna.

Just hear me out.

I had no idea that Highness

will make the announcement tonight.

So you were cheating

on me isn't the problem.

The problem is that I found out.

Nice.

You're getting me wrong.

I was about to cancel this wedding.

- And tell you the truth.

- When?

Tamanna, I don't know what to do.

They are forcing me to

get engaged in next two days.

But I don't want to.

Tamanna, I love you.

I don't want to lose you.

It's too late now.

Jimmy loves our song.

He wants us to make a music video.

I will send you your contract tomorrow.

Read it carefully

- and it'll have your payment details

- Tamanna, please.

Leave me!

This is a professional relationship.

And you're being

inappropriate right now.

Tamanna, how can this be

Just a professional relationship?

Think of it as role play.

Praise is very hazardous for an artist.

You were so lost in few applause

that you completely forgot your melody.

It was my fault that I misjudged

your eagerness as your courage.

Greetings, Panditji.

Radhe, go inside.

Go inside!

You shouldn't be so strict on him.

Children today lack discipline.

Why are you here?

I wanted to come earlier

many times.

But mother didn't let me.

I wonder why she loved you so much,

whereas

You

She passed away,

Panditji, and yet you didn't show up.

Anyway

You know I am the

true heir to this family.

You just need to announce it.

You left this family.

And you know why.

You have no right to my family.

Your family?

You mean the one you

stole from my grandpa.

Guruji passed it down to me.

So you could maintain the

dignity of Bikaner family

and not start your

own fake family out here.

If we leave it to you any longer

then you'll just prepare

an army of useless falsetto singers.

Radhe may be inexperienced

but he's not useless.

- This rendition is so difficult

- Renditions are not easy or difficult.

There is just good or bad singer.

You taught me this, remember.

Or has age made you soft?

I know better how to run my family.

I've dedicated my entire

life to this family.

And not sold my art like you.

You will never understand that.

One needs to earn the

right to be the successor.

You are very proud of your family,

aren't you?

Fine.

We'll leave this decision

to the Sangeet Samrat Competition.

If I win, then I will own this family.

After which it will be

known as the Bikaner family.

And if you lose

then you will never

show me your face again.

Agreed.

Panditji's Guruji got him

married to his daughter Uma

from whom they had a son.

Digvijay.

A few days later your grandpa

arrived in Jodhpur to take part

in the Sangeet Samrat Festival.

Panditji met your grandma

first time there,

they fell in love.

And Panditji married her too.

Panditji left Digvijay

and his mother in Bikaner

and started living

with your grandma in Jodhpur.

Instead of being the torchbearer

of the Bikaner family

he came to Jodhpur and

lay the foundation of Rathod family.

When Digvijay turned 10, his mother

sent him for training to Panditji.

For nearly 10 years he stayed

with Panditji as his student.

He was an amazing singer.

The best among his pupils.

Then they had a fallout and he left.

What fallout?

I don't know.

Panditji got married twice,

and Digvijay is his son

How many more secrets

are kept hidden from me?

This is a very old story, Radhe.

Yes, but it's connected

to my family, Mom.

I've heard his film songs?

Do you really believe that Digvijay

is capable of challenging Panditji?

What are you doing?

Happy holidays.

This one.

Can you hear this sound?

Yes.

Can you hear this sound?

- It's a very low sound.

- Yes.

Your outer and middle ear is fine.

We'll have to get an audiology

test for your inner ear.

Anything serious, doctor.

No, madam, nothing to worry about.

But let's get a test done anyway.

I'll call the audiologist.

He'll conduct a test and let us now.

And we will know.

Okay.

How are you?

His condition is getting worst.

Don't take his music away from him now.

What can I get you, sir?

A cup of tea for madam.

No sugar, and fresh ginger.

Nothing for me, thank you.

You are so successful.

You've become a worldwide phenomenon.

Forget the past. Let it go.

After all, he's your father.

When did he act like one

My father.

I was only a kid when he left me.

Never turned around.

When I came for music training,

he made me his pupil but not his son.

And when I fell in love,

he took that away from me too.

I am sure he didn't send you.

No.

Then why have you come here, Mohini?

I am worried about my family.

I can understand.

Even I am worried about him.

Please have your tea.

Thank you.

Welcome to Rajasthan Arghya.

What welcome. I asked for

a car but you sent a camel instead.

Hello, sir.

This is the best means

of transport in this part.

He's been sh1tting all the way.

- Where is Tamanna?

- This way, sir.

- Where is my favorite rock star?

- Arghya.

You could have walked

in on me when I was changing.

Hey listen,

keep all this flirting for the video.

You're not my type.

I like my women bold.

He is not my boyfriend.

Ma'am, the shot is ready.

- Where is the boy?

- He is outside.

wild sex by now. Come on.

great but it's hot as f*ck.

No, they are also looking fantastic.

I'll send pictures.

I'll sort it out, sir.

You're okay, nah.

You're looking little down.

Because everyone at

JP is in labor right now.

You got to f*cking k*ll it.

What is this?

Local KKK?

I'll sort it out.

We're all vegetarians.

All vegetarians.

Sir, I tried requesting

him but he won't take it off.

Who is this?

Altaf Raja.

This is

What the f*ck is

What are we sh**ting over here, man?

Is this some love song

or an !sis recruitment video?

Hi, Arghya. Big fan. Love your work.

What's going on?

Tamanna, you know

I cannot show my face.

Arghya, we need to figure this out.

We meaning me.

I need to figure this out.

Ultimately who the f*ck does this?

I do it.

I have to deal with burnt

marshmallow head over here.

All the f*ck

Hey, don't cut that blue thing.

We might need that blue thing.

Cut.

Guys, it's damn hot, man.

So just do it properly.

Masked man sync

Lips movement, right.

Cut. Cut.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

You are just standing over here

like a Monkey and waving your hand.

And no sync.

No sync at all.

Your lips have to move.

You have to make love to the camera.

And what are you doing with this cloth?

It looks like you're doing

some dusting or something.

Be sexy and move your body like this.

And go crazy with your hands.

Just touch her hand and go

She falls into your hands.

Make love. Make love.

I need to see it on your face.

You do this.

Tamanna, you know this.

Come on, you know this stuff.

Come on, guys. Come on.

Cut. Cut music.

Guys, we'll just take five.

We'll take five everyone.

What's going on between you two

What's going on?

Are you'll going through

some early menopause or something?

No, tell me.

Then why are you two playing

ringa-ringa-roses like

some constipated siblings?

Where is the heat? Where is the passion?

Where is the romance?

I mean the chemistry between the two of

you can negate a full bottle of Viagra.

And you've to build to the kiss.

You've to build to the kiss.

And there isn't going to be some flower

in this video in front of your faces.

I am not going to kiss him.

What?

Who is going to kiss him?

I am going to kiss him?

Tell me what it is?

What is it?

He is a villager.

This is very wrong of you.

Very wrong. Very judgmental.

He is good looking, in a rustic

I don't know.

In a weird, strange kind of way.

What is it?

His mouth is smelling?

I'll wash it.

I will physically go and wash his mouth.

The whole song we're singing "beloved,

sweetheart!"

And this is looking like

some religious discourse.

You have

You've got the wrong room.

Listen.

Sort it out. Come on.

What?

Tamanna, it's all my fault.

And anyway, I can never

change your feelings for me now.

But don't let your

anger ruin your dreams.

You have worked very

hard on this song and video.

You deserve all this, Tamanna.

So I just came to say that

if my presence here is a problem,

then just replace me with someone else.

But just work properly on this video.

Doesn't matter who

is in this video with you.

I am already making things

worse for you with this mask and wig.

But when you come on screen,

people are going to watch you.

Your grandma gave me this necklace.

Give it to Sandhya.

- Come on.

- What?

Come with me.

Not now.

- Don't be crazy, We must talk now.

- Not now.

I said no.

- Everyone is looking

- Not now.

What?

- I want to show you something.

- What?

- I want to show you something.

- Not now.

I am waiting there. Come fast.

Your highness.

I'll be right back

I mean

Go on.

Okay.

Shall I let him go?

Is this the time to show me this?

Wait. The best part is yet to come.

Look, Flamingo.

Sister-in-law.

See

I told you I've seen her before.

Once I see a girl, I won't forget her.

Six months ago her MMS video

went viral on the internet.

Don't worry.

I've canceled the wedding.

I sent this video to Sandhya and

said if you don't cancel the wedding

I will take you down for good.

I will tell everyone.

Are you crazy?

How can you stoop so low?

You are such an as*h*le.

Up until now,

you hand only one thing on your mind.

Cancel the wedding. Cancel the wedding.

I am screwed.

What now?

I am trying to help you out

but you're getting angry on me.

Do you want me to ruin

her life just to save mine?

My dear Harishchandra.

Do you want to marry a porn star and

hide your face for the rest of your life.

Hey do you want

to marry Tamanna or not?

Do you?

Then this is your last chance.

Understand.

I don't want this opportunity.

Yes, I am screwed.

I don't want to get married

to her and I only love Tamanna

but if I cancel

the wedding like this

then I won't be worthy of anyone.

But

Sister-in-law

But what's wrong, Surya.

Till yesterday, all was good.

Please tell us

if it's our fault somewhere.

No no

Nothing happened.

Sandhya just changed her mind.

Everybody is aware of his wedding, Surya.

Now if people find out,

they will blame my son

No one's going to blame your son.

We're canceling the wedding. And

that's what we're going

to tell everyone.

Forgive me.

We caused you a lot of trouble.

No

Give Sandhya my blessings.

Surya, listen.

Just listen.

Let's talk.

I don't know whether

I should apologize or

He was my boyfriend.

You know when we first met.

He said I was too

beautiful for Brussels.

And later he showed entire

Belgium how beautiful I am.

Tamanna is a lucky girl.

You should tell your family about her.

They will never accept her.

You know,

all this time I was living in fear.

If anyone finds out this secret,

then I'll be ruined.

And then my worse nightmare came true.

Kabir sent me that message.

But you know how I felt?

I felt relieved.

That finally I won't

have to run from the truth.

I am finally free. Liberated.

Don't let a secret

ruin your life too.

You deserve much better than that.

Well, take this before I change my mind.

Yeah

3 2 1 Music.

Action!

Cut. Moving on.

Tamanna. Wait.

Thank you for taking me back.

Don't thank me.

It wasn't my call.

Tamanna, I

- My wedding

- Please.

Can we just get over this quickly

so I can stop pretending

to be in love with you?

Leave me alone.

Sweetheart. Sweetheart.

Listen

You know I am a fan of tough love.

But don't make the donkey

slog so hard that he refuses.

This is his first proper shot.

If you keep demotivating him,

he will never be able to do it.

Can't babysit him any more.

If you had so many problems with him

then you should have just replaced him.

Why did you insist on bringing him back?

He needs the money, Arghya.

He refused the money.

You two have a strange love story.

You both are jerk.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Hello, Mr. Rajender.

Hello.

Come in, Mr. Yadav.

Get some tea for him.

Sister-in-law,

if you could get some snacks.

With the tea that would be lovely.

Get some snacks too.

- Come in. Come in.

- How are you?

I am fine. Sit.

- You have a beautiful home.

- Thank you.

Mr. Rajender, I found out that

your Belgium cash machine

isn't working any more.

I thought you might need

me so I decided to pay a visit.

Mr. Yadav I am trying my level best.

Just give me a little more time.

Time is a luxury you

don't have, Mr. Rajender.

I have an offer for you.

I have a friend.

The owners of Sanan Garden Group.

They want to buy your home

and convert it into a heritage hotel.

Mr. Yadav, this is our ancestral home.

We'll never sell it.

Fine. As you wish.

But let me remind you

If you don't pay your loan

in three months with interest

then be ready to part

ways with your ancestral home.

- I promise you I won't take

- Tea is here.

Sister-in-law,

you have a beautiful home.

How many rooms do you have?

I will tell you, Mr. Yadav.

Were you trying to be a hero?

No, I was just trying

to convince the heroine.

Tough luck. I am not into married men.

But I

My wedding got canceled.

Why?

Because I love someone else.

And what if she doesn't love you?

Then I'll look like an jerk.

Sandy sir.

Jerk.

- Got it. Got it.

- It's a cut.

- Got it. Got it.

- Superb shots.

Cut, Tamanna.

We got it Tamanna. Cut.

Cut it, guys.

Looking for buried treasure

in each other's mouth.

Panditji.

There's a corporate show available

They are paying well.

I don't have time for this nonsense.

I am still not getting

the weight I want in 'Teen Taal'!

Do it again.

Your grant hasn't been coming

through for four months now.

We need money.

I will talk to the MLA.

I already had a word with him.

He said that he has converted

your grant into some youth scholarship.

The scholarship is still in your name.

You had just one job,

and you couldn't do that either.

We have no money at all.

I've already taken an advance.

Please do this show.

I have some bad news.

Because the flu you had last

year damaged your Cochlear's nerve

which has led

to degenerative changes.

Meaning?

Meaning Panditji will

gradually lose his hearing.

There must be some way.

Like the machine that people wear

You mean a hearing aid.

When degenerative changed occur

hearing A*DS are not much of help.

We do have an alternative.

Cochlear implant is a good option.

But there are certain drawbacks.

First of all its very costly.

And secondly, operating and

implanting it now can be risky.

What risk?

Well, it can lead to facial paralysis.

You should take care.

You need to rest.

And most importantly,

you must stay away from any commotion.

Isn't there a medicine

that you can prescribe?

- I have a show tomorrow.

- No, no shows at all.

But this show is very important.

Fine. But you must

take this very seriously.

I'll try to manage

something symptomatically.

I'll talk to him and

get the show canceled.

No. No need to tell anyone.

Rajender is already quite stressed

and I don't want to add to his troubles.

But how will you sing against

Digvijay in this condition?

Hold your breath, Marwar Merchants

We are presenting to you,

your favorite Tamanna Sharma.

What kind of a sound is that?

Did the speaker blow up?

Panditji, there is a girl.

She

Panditji, there is a girl.

She is very popular among the kids.

And since she was in Jodhpur

they let you sing before you.

I'll go take a look.

What a song!

What a song

Once more!

Once more!

Once more!

That was a beautiful performance, guys.

I know you love Tamanna.

Everybody loves Tamanna.

It's time to move from

the contemporary to the eternal.

So to make this beautiful

evening even better

for the main performance of the

evening, I would like to call upon

Jodhpur's music king,

Pandit Radhe Mohan Rathod.

With a huge round of applause please

welcome Pandit Radhe Mohan Rathod.

Radhe.

Listen

Digvijay may be arrogant,

but he's an experienced singer.

You are not prepared to challenge him.

And we don't have much time.

But in order to save this family,

the only other option we have

is that you will sing

in my place at the next event.

I

am going deaf.

Get up.

You start preparing from today.
