Come, Come, Come, Come quickly, Come...

Ma'am, Ma'am, Ma'am, Ma'am... Wait up, Wait up!

There are more 'Superb-Steps'... To teach, they've asked to come after 2pm.

Where is your Dance-Dress?

I can dance, in this too!

Only then, You'll have entry!

Go!

"Music!"

"Come on!"

"Ready, 1...2...3... Go!

Do I look like a 'Fool' to you?

Slightly...

You fooled me & got joined a Dance class...

Now, you want the 'Dress' too?!

Do you know how much it'd cost? Easily, Rs. 2000 - 2500/-

For me to return your money... I have to win the competition.

If I have to Win, I got to Dance. And to Dance, I need the Dress.

Do you understand?

Boss, you are stuck with the "Big-Boss", The tasks are piling up. Careful!

I'm not asking for me, ...but for your-sake.

If you don't want your money back, go on!

"Pokemon"

You called?

No-Never-Not-Impossible!

"Eat here & you'll be, Food-Poisoned!"

- Sure you want to eat, here?! - Nah...

Hi Lakshmi...

You ate, anything?

Got fever?

...then, why are you like this?

In all the subjects... You've scored low-marks.

It's the... 'New-School' ma. Everything is tough!

The Teacher, asked me... to join tuitions?

Then we better, send you for the tuitions!

...must pay the fees too!

& that'll be Rs. 2,000 - 2,500/-

And why is that worrying you, dear?

"She threatens me!"

Here you go, Madam.

This isn't your dad's Leisure-Lorry! "Signal's about to turn green..."

"Look at her... Moving like a Mushroom!"

- "Just a minute, it was me..." - Guess he'd make, sense!

- "What?" - "Hello!"

"Don't think, ...this is your Dad's 'Leisure-Lorry!"

"You can't get-on & off, ...wherever you please!"

- Get on, now. - "Get lost!"

"Ok, Let's roll..."

Superb, "Arjun"!

- Thank You, ma! - Beautiful!

Master, to out-perform your son Arjun, there is none.

Not just in Chennai, but all of South-India!

For this year's 'Pride of India Jr.' ,

Right choice from our side is definitely "Arjun".

I know!

Hi...

I'm Arjun.

Nice to meet you...

Hi!

"Hey Dreamy-little...SweetiePie!" - I'm "Arnold"!

Hey... Nice dance!

"Open your baby-eyes, a little!" - I'm Arnold

"Hey Chubby-lil, SweetiePie!"

"Put on your wings, & Take-flight!"

"The dream from last night!"

"That dream has, ...come true!"

"Sky-like... the dream,"

"Spreads & Expands!"

"Hey Dreamy-little, ...Sweetiepie!"

"Open your baby-eyes, a little!"

"Hey Chubby-lil, Sweetiepie!"

"Put on your wings & Take-flight!" - Hey "Arnold", move aside

"For you, Just for you..."

"The world opens up, my Beauty!" - Arjun, go & sit!

"Just so, only so..." - ...move it!

"It grows wings, ...my Beauty!"

"The dream from last night!"

"That dream has, ...come true!"

"Sky-like... the dream,"

"Spreads & Expands!"

"The dream from last night,"

"That dream, has come true!"

"Sky-like... the dream," - Only those who Dance, can sit here!

Not those, who just come along!

You can go there and eat!

Pooja, go

Super... Superb!

Just because you can practice dancing daily, you expect us to shut for 2 hours, eh?

What about our turnover for 2hrs.?

Add it to 'our' account!

- You think we run a petty Tea-Shop? - Isn't this a, 'Tea-Shop'!

Why you...

Boss...?!

As it is, not many step-in...

Everybody... get-down! Is this a Bus or a Park?

She is sleeping, like it is! Hey kid...!

5 minutes...

Next, she'd ask for a 'Bed Coffee!'

Get down now, Your Stop is here!

Slowly. Hey wait up. Your Bag!

"You, talk to the Dream"

"Shut your eyes & speak, Close your mouth & speak..."

"Ignoring everyone's talk, you speak"

"Dance with the Dream,"

"Dance, holding-hands,"

"Dance, all-day"

"Don't stop, even if your world stops!"

"Hey SweetiePie, Hey SweetiePie!"

"Make your dream, your friend"

"Hey SweetiePie, Hey SweetiePie!"

"With the wind, change your path."

"The dream from last night"

"That dream, has come true!"

"Sky-like... the dream,"

"Spreads & Expands!"

"The dream from last night"

"That dream, has come true!"

"Hey Dreamy-lil, SweetiePie..." - Lakshmi, is 'Simply-Superb'! Yeah?

"Open your baby-eyes, a little!"

"Hey Chubby-lil, SweetiePie!"

Looking at my dance, all are applauding.

Selecting me for the team they say, is confirmed.

Hey, you eat-up all that we've got. Who's going to pay for it!?

My victory is just around. Add it all to 'our' account, go!

- What is this, boss?! - Go-on...

"Hey Chubby-lil, SweetiePie!"

"Put on your wings, & Take-flight!"

- Go away. - You go away!

Hey Arjun...

...what happened?

Are you okay?

Okay, Okay... I'm fine!

- Hey... - Hold on!

Take your hand off...

"Getting selected in the State-level, isn't that big a deal..."

But, getting selected in 'Pride of India's First-level, is the real challenge!

...and our team should be the 'Best'!

Even if not up to Arjun's level, each must support him, atleast!

Master, Lakshmi must definitely be on the Team.

That would be our Team's strength!

She's joined us, only this year!

Why so soon...? This is a very big competition.

It's not important when we joined but, Who's the 'Best', that is important!

You're...

I've...

- ...the Coffee Shop- - Father!

"Father".

..."Father"?

While joining, you said: "You only have, a Mother"!?

...you don't have a, Father, right?!

While joining, I only had a, Mother...

Madam, maybe something's come up now!

Sir, sit down!

Please, sit!

Sir, your daughter attends, only half the day in school.

Ours, is a school with "100"% in results!

If this continues...

You'd have to put your daughter, in some other school.

She is... all over the place!

Isn't studying properly,

...is dancing in weird places!

...becoming a bad influence, on the other kids who study-hard.

Lakshmi...

What?

You don't have a, Father?

Nope...

Why didn't you tell?

You never asked!

- So... What happened? - No idea...

...Bye!

- And the next Team is going to be, - "Kovai Dance Warriors"!

Madam...

...your keys!

But Lakshmi...

...hasn't come yet, ma'am.

Even before joining tuitions... She'd come late & claim, she had tuitions!

Now that, you've really put her in tuitions,

there is no knowing, when she'd come!

Kids these days... Phew!

Here you go!

What's up Boss, You look tensed?

Lakshmi's final-selection is today,

Said, she'd finish & come.

But hasn't turned up yet!

Are you tensed with, Lakshmi not coming? or if your money would ever come?

The next on-stage to rock us will be...

Chennai 'Spring-Boots'! - 'Spring-Boots'!

Yes... B-Cam!

Cue it up!

Sir, okay sir...!

- Thank you. - Lakshmi, Come on!

Come on, Come on!

She'll do it! Music

- Lakshmi, what happened! - Damn, all our hard-work is wasted!

Sir...

Sir, Sorry sir! One last time, sir!

Your team is disqualified!

Sir, Please sir! One last time sir!

We'll decide, by the end... Clear the Stage, now!

Thank you sir!

Come out!

"Saw that?"

You said: "She'd dance, very well!"

Because of her... The whole Team is, disqualified!

You thought, 'Dancing was that Easy?'

Those dancing on-roads, you thought ...could dance for competitions, too?

First, vacate the place.

Our struggles over the last, ...6 months is wasted!

If I ever see you again, in this academy...

Get out!

Go!

Lakshmi...

Where do you think, you're going?

- Arnold, No! - Lakshmi...

- Lakshmi... - Arnold, stop!

- Lakshmi... - All of you go inside!

She is not going to come back!

- Did you see Lakshmi around? - No ma'am

"People for Balaji Nagar, can step down!"

"Hey.. don't open the shutter, the water will come through..."

Brother...???

...did you see Lakshmi?

She gets on here, But gets down at the CDA stop.

"C.D.A."?

"Chennai Dance Academy!"

You lied to me & are going for a 'Dance-class' eh?

Sorry ma...

"Open your eyes... Slowly...slowly"

"God is Great!"

"He is out of Coma!"

"Master, are you fine!?"

"...Nandini!"

"We checked at the Hotel,"

..."she had already checked-out & left".

"Her phone is not reachable too"...

"We heard, her marriage is fixed."

"Sorry, Master!"

It's okay...

Never repeat it...

Alright...?

...haven't seen Lakshmi, since yesterday.

- Shall I go to her school & check? - Not required!

-It is close by, I'll go & check! - Just take the order!

Hello?!

What's happend madam?

We're not sure. But she's been crying, since morning!

However we tried comforting her, ...it didn't help.

It got us worried & That's why, we called you.

"Lakshmi!"

Its the money you spent... on getting me, the clothes!

...and about the "Fees", Can I repay

when I go for work after my studies?

Sorry...

What is it, Dear. What happened?

I don't want, "Dance"!

I can't Dance.

Says who?

Master...

Let's go...

Come!

But where?

Krishna, Please... No! Master'd be very displeased...

Even without knowing to perform, You've come for the competition.

In fact, it's because of people like you...

that, not one-team from 'TamilNadu' has qualified.

'Pride of India' is a competition that's earned it's respect.

From all the states, do you know how many turn up, for the selections!

Sir, Just Lakshmi was the problem.

To lose in Round1, why go so far?

Sir, please.

Understand it yourself, Please!

Sir, one minute!

Didn't I ask you, not to come here.

You are the cause of all the problems, here!

...get out!

Who is that? Got someone to support for you?

Master, that's her Dad!

Take Lakshmi, back.

She can dance!

Hello...

Do you know, what is this?

This is a, "Competition"...

"Dance Competition!"

Your daughter couldn't take a step, on-stage!

...it's because of her, We're disqualified!

Take her away!

Please...

Take her, away!

V.K. Sir!

It's V.K Sir...!

Guys... Its V.K. sir!

"Yusuf..."

V.K.'s final rehearsal is going on!

Hi...

...Dancing!

You just got here?

- Wanna sit? - Nah... you finish & come!

Go, now...

2 minutes!

- Sir... - Its okay!

- Hi Sir! - Welcome Sir..

- How are you, Sir? - Fine... Fine...

How are you, Sir!

Sir, is she your daughter?

Sorry, Sir.

...didn't know-

...because of Lakshmi, our team couldn't get selected.

It could get selected.

But, on one condition!

You must come, Come back!

...as the coach, for this team!

Though, I had won, the 'Pride of India' title, 12 years ago...

I have not been happy, even for a single day!

You couldn't make it for the Finals, after you met with an accident...

To this day, everyone says I won... Only because, of your absence !

This time, I want to win over you!

Me coming here, was for Lakshmi.

These dance competitions, My dreams... is all, long-gone!

Please,

...get these kids back, into the competition.

If you come-in, the team too... will!

The choice is yours!

Sir please... Come in... for all our sakes!

You too had the, 'Pride of India' dream?

All this while, I wanted to dance, just for my dreams.

But now I feel I have to Dance, ...for your Dream too!

Please come,

No team has got selected, ...from 'Tamil Nadu', Got it?!

"Yusuf"

All the best!

"But, why resign from... All India Dance Academy's Panel?"

...such a prestigious post, Yusuf!

If I'm to be respected all my life... I too, must be a coach in this competition.

...and Defeat V.K.!

All the best... I'm sure you'll win!

Thank You!

What is this, sir?

All that matters for the Channel...

beyond this Event/Competition is, the 'T.R.P.'!

They can have their battle, & whoever wins between them...

This year, we must use this event... to beat all other channels!

"Pride of India Jr.'s, Qualifying-Round has come to a close."

"In this Qualifying round, Spring-Boots" from 'Chennai',"

"Tamil Nadu has been selected & is headed for 'Mumbai'..."

"...Dance, in India has been greatly, influenced"

"by Chennai's V.K. or "Vijay Krishna","

"...who has returned as the 'Trainer', for this Chennai-team, for the Event."

"12 years ago, in this competition... 'V.K.' & 'Yusuf' who were contestants,"

"...are now, the Trainers for their respective teams,"

"Creating a buzz of expectation among viewers."

"Besides, the selections-chief Yusuf, ...has resigned from his post to become,"

"a coach for his home-team, Mumbai..."

"Dad's come to know... I've come to Mumbai to be with you!"

"He wants me to return to Chennai, now"

"He is very angry, Krishna. Could you come along, Please?"

"What are you talking? How can I...? & Now!"

"Its the Finals tomorrow..."

"So, you choose Dance & Competition over me!?"

"It's not like that, 'Nandini', wait for a day.

After the Finals, we'll go together."

"I can't talk with Dad, anymore. Are you coming, or no?"

"Where are you now?"

"At the Hotel, leaving for the Airport."

"Just wait, I'm coming over."

"If you can't come with me, Now, ...don't bother coming, Ever!"

Competition is in Mumbai, it seems!

Yes... it is in Mumbai. What is your problem!?

We're done, It's over! Mom hates 'Dance' already...

& now, its in Mumbai too!

She'd definitely not allow... Krishna, how're you going to sort this?

Think, Think!

Lakshmi? What a surprise... Is it about any, "NEW-Step!"?

No ma'am...

That day, when I came along, With my Father to the School...

That's right!

He is not exactly, my Father!

"WHAT!?"

So, Who is he?

He's "V.K!"

"V.K?"

Greetings...

My...

V.K...!

Madam.

Madam,

Madam...

Go, get some water!

Hey, Lakshmi, Lakshmi, Lakshmi...

Lakshmi, it's here...

Sprinkle, Splash! Quick...

V.K...

I'am very... 'nearest-fan' of you!

Madam, Madam...

Madam!

Please, listen to what I say & then you may black-out...

I want your help...

What would you like...

Please, ask me...

Why should Lakshmi go to Mumbai?

Well... yes, She is a smart kid!

But if you send her for this 'Educational-Trip' in Mumbai,

They'd mould her sharper.

...for how many days?

Depending on how many, 'Rounds' she clears-

I mean... Minimum 1 week.

If she progresses fast to the next-level, 10 days.

Right now, I won't be able to take-off from the Bank.

So, I was wondering... How I could send Lakshmi, alone?

You don't have to come, even...

I'm going & other students, ...are coming along too.

You can call me anytime,

I will take-care.

You don't worry, ma'am!

Okay...?!

It's "V.K!"

"V.K." Sir!

VK sir...

"Hey... Hey... It's okay, It's okay..."

"It's so good to see you, Sir!"

It's true. No one has forgotten V.K.

And I don't think, they could!

"You... take the one on, Top!"

"Hey Arnold, don't get on top."

"Arjun..."

- What are you fighting for? - But, it was him, Ma...

Shift to that bed...

Ok. Quickly shower, & get ready everyone.

"Okay, Master!"

Arnold,

...mind coming down.

Really!?

- I'm scared. - Why fear, I'm here!

Exactly, my point!

- "Pooja, you go!" - "Hey, let me go..."

Go!

What, is this?!

We just started our rehearsal, Sir!

Something, new?

We've got all the 'Trending' stuff, ...happening, here. Sir!

Are you sure?

Yeah!

It's not about these kids, Winning!

It's about, 'Me' winning against 'V.K!'

Sound!

Wow!

Super

1... 2... 3... 4...

"Hello Ma'am."

I'm Lakshmi's mom speaking. Is Lakshmi around?!

Which Lakshmi...?

"You took her to Mumbai, for the 'educational-trip"

Why'd she be, here? When, she's in Mumbai!

I mean... She is here, in Mumbai!

I'll look around, If she is close!

Lakshmi, Come-fast, dear!

- Ma'am, you called? - Damn you!

Hmmm... what's up?

Well, yeah....it's Lakshmi's mom, wants to talk to her.

"Hold on... I'll 'Conference' the call."

One minute!

- "...in the Back-row, Master?" - Exactly, that's it!

"Lakshmi... it's your Mom!"

"What about me, Ma!"

"I've spoken with her already, She wants to speak with you, now. Here..."

Breathe in!

Hello, Lakshmi!

How are you, dear?!

I'm okay, Mom...

Is it comfortable for you, up there?

"...Okay, ma!"

"Sorry, Dear!"

My 'Leave' was not sanctioned, Else... I would've definitely come over!

"Siddarth" can dance, ...on the Right!

Right!

Okay!

- Lakshmi, Center! - Sir...

Lakshmi has stage-fear, Should we put her in front, for Round1?

We could place her in the back-row, Where her fear'd not be on display!

She is in, 'Center'!

What is it, dear?

Why sit here?

I'm in fear...

What Master said, is correct!

What if we lose, because of me?

Let me not dance, On-stage tomorrow...

"As wingless dry-leaves, we Fall"

"Yet after falling, we keep Moving!"

"Do not step-on us!"

I've only lost my Ears. Not my Legs, right?

Krishna!

The 'Dance' for which, we seperated...

The 'Dance', which I never wanted for Lakshmi...

"...that same, 'Dance' has brought, us here, along with Lakshmi!"

In a way, I'am a reason too... for you not achieving your dreams!

I won't do the same mistake, with Lakshmi's dream too!!

She must dance in the competition, Tomorrow!

...only you can make that happen!

Please...

Please...

"And that was a spectacular performance by..."

...Ashish, from 'Mumbai' Marvelous!

"But unfortunately..."

"Our 2nd performance tonight.... by 'Chennai' Spring-Boots,"

...is not possible!

"I regret to inform you that..."

Lakshmi, met with an accident!

And she lost her hearing!

"It would've been a great show, ...if she could have performed!"

"James!"

...so what, if Lakshmi can't come! Ask, someone from her team, to come!

V.K.'s team must dance!

Here, you don't get to decide, who win's or lose's. It's the Channel!

You still think, 12 years ago... you won the title because of V.K's absence?

It was us, who staged his accident and

stopped him from coming, to make you the Winner!

Only if the Mumbai-Team wins, We have a "National-Level-Reach!"

Its all about T.R.P. & breaking the charts, man!

We created, 'Pride of India!'

We created, "You"!

So... Lakshmi's accident?
