What's going on?

We are going to the city…

to watch a movie.

-But you don't like watching movies. -So what?

You've never taken me to the movies.

Listen…

I'm taking you to the movies today,

but you'll never watch another again.

I've told you many times…

cinema is not appropriate for us.

Then why are we going?

This film is different.

It's a religious film.

Hail Goddess Mahakali.

TICKET PRICE RS. 10/20/30

HAIL GODDESS MAHAKALI

Hey, get aside!

Give me four tickets!

Why are you looking around? Take a seat.

Take care of her.

-Get back here! -3:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m.

-and 9:30 p.m. -9:30 p.m.

For you, it's the first and the last.

Holy Mother!

Goddess Kali resides

In the hearts of all devotees

She annihilates all demons

Hail Goddess Kali!

Hail Goddess Kali!

Hail Goddess Kali!

-Chant the Goddess' name -Hail Goddess Kali!

-Everyone together… -Hail Goddess Kali!

-Never stop singing… -Hail Goddess Kali!

Chant the Goddess' name…

Dad…

Manu wants to become a stationmaster.

-And ST wants to become an engineer. -I see.

And I…

I want to make movies.

Shut up.

Never say that again.

Have you ever heard of a Brahmin doing such a shameful job?

The film world is filthy, and against our virtues.

We'd have no honor left in our community.

What honor are you talking about?

Look at where you are today.

You keep boiling and selling tea all day long.

"Chai, chai!"

How dare you talk to your dad like that!

-"Chai, chai!" -Enough!

Five, six, five, nine.

-Give me the tea. The train is here. -You're late once again.

You're always wandering around.

Do you want to be a loser like me?

Get to work. Hurry up.

Yes, Dad.

Buy some wafers!

Buy a pack for ten rupees!

-Buy some wafers! -Have some piping hot Kathiawadi chai!

-Buy wafers! -Have some chai!

Chai!

-Chai! -Buy wafers!

Buy some wafers!

Buy some wafers!

Give me some tea. Here you go.

-Here. -Thank you, sir.

Wafers for your train journey!

-Kathiawadi chai! -Wafers!

-Buy some wafers! -Hot chai!

-Buy some crispy wafers! -Here.

-What station are we at? -Chalala.

I should calculate how much I've made.

I should check my earnings too.

Ten, twenty… I've got thirty rupees.

I've also got just thirty rupees.

There was a plane…

that landed in a field of sunflowers.

A balloon seller

tried to get into the plane.

Just then, a strong gust of wind blew him off!

The plane belonged to a king. Do you know why?

A king?

Was he a rich king?

Yes. He was loaded.

He had many possessions like cars,

jeeps, guns and swords.

The king had three wives.

The first one was Meghana,

the second was Menaka,

and the third was Piana.

Good girl.

-Do you want some more? -Look at your dreads.

Chop it off.

Why do you always pick on my hair?

Some more?

Samay!

Samay!

Don't bum around!

Come home soon!

Yes!

-How are you, Siddi Dada? -I'm fine.

Get in, everyone. The train is about to depart.

Come on, hurry up!

-Hello, Uncle! -Hello, Uncle!

-Come on. Hurry up. -Let's go.

-Hey, make it quick! -Come on!

Look at that.

Our Saurashtra!

You know…

Saurashtra region has two other names.

One is Sorath…

and the other is…

-our Kathiawad! -Kathiawad!

Yes! Our great Kathiawad.

Our land is not only famous for lions and cows.

Many great men were born here.

Can you name one?

-Mahatma Gandhi. -Mahatma Gandhi!

He fought for our independence.

He never used any form of violence.

That's why we call Mahatma Gandhi a devotee of non-violence.

A devotee of what?

A devotee of non-violence!

And…

ST, come here!

I hope you're not playing with the tea seller's son.

-I'm not. -Fine. Go.

Here you go.

No, sir. I just need your blessings.

Your blessings are enough.

-Bless you, son. -How much did you make?

-Fifty-five rupees. -Put it in the box.

One soda, please.

Here.

I need a ticket for the movie Zulmi.

Darn it!

Was Samay with you in school?

-Yes. -No.

Was he with you?!

-Yes. -No.

Yes.

Yes, right.

His name is Samay.

Yes.

Please don't worry.

He's sleeping on a bench at Amreli station.

I bet Samay's butt will turn red today!

-Samay is about to get beaten up! -Let's scram! Hurry!

Stop!

Samay, I'm warning you! Stop!

Don't make me run after you!

Stop running, you idiot!

Stop!

Samay, I will not spare you!

Hey! Stop right there!

Why are you making your father run?

Samay, listen to me.

Just stop!

Our next class will be in the laboratory,

where we'll be studying the laws of reflection of light.

Samay.

Yes, sir?

Why do you have bruises on your arm?

My father beat me up…

because I went to watch a movie.

I see.

What did he bring now?

"An ideal boy."

ZANJEER

Oh, magnificent emperor!

Oh, great ruler!

May your magnanimity be everlasting

Words alone cannot praise you

You are the cornerstone of Hindustan

Hindustan is your life And you are the life of Hindustan

We welcome you in our hearts!

We welcome you in our hearts!

All hail the mighty emperor!

Oh, magnificent emperor!

-Words alone cannot praise you -Leave me alone!

-Let me go! -Stop crying!

-Leave me! -Little prick!

Bloody freeloader!

-You're a menace! -Leave me!

-Let go of me! -Go away!

Out!

-Don't give us a hard time! -Get lost!

Don't ever come back here!

Hey…

those rotis are so thin!

You know, my wife…

makes rotis as thick as blankets!

My mother makes the thinnest rotis.

And no one else can make rotis like she does.

Do you want some?

Sure.

I've lost my appetite.

The food was amazing!

Do you eat such delicious food every day?

Do you?

Why the long face?

What's wrong?

I didn't have money to buy a ticket.

So, that slime bucket threw me out!

Come with me.

That slime bucket!

Hey!

Don't touch anything.

Come here. Take a seat.

Here.

Now…

you can watch the film…

through this window…

for free.

I am unhappy without her

-She isn't happy without me either -Aishwarya Rai!

For free?

We can figure out a deal.

Greetings to you!

I'm Fazal.

And I'm Samay.

Samay? It means "time", right?

Why is your name Samay?

My parents had nothing. No job, no money…

and nowhere to go.

All they had was time.

So, when I was born, they named me Samay.

My time has been frozen just like this clock.

Hurry! Come on, give it.

Oh, magnificent emperor!

Oh, magnificent emperor!

Oh, great ruler!

May your magnanimity be everlasting

Words alone cannot praise you

You are the cornerstone of Hindustan

Hindustan is your life And you are the life of Hindustan

All hail the mighty emperor!

All hail the mighty emperor!

No!

Step out!

I will not spare you!

Why did you ram into my car?!

Who will rise first?

They will.

I won.

Hurry up!

You'll miss your train.

I'll have you know that I run faster than the train.

You don't like okra.

Why did you want okra for lunch today?

Well, I'm beginning to like it very much.

Liar.

To be honest,

I really hate okra.

I was just kidding.

But you really brought okra for me!

Do you know what white people call it?

Lady's-finger.

Who is this?

Do you know who this is, Sili?

You don't know?

It's Shah Rukh Khan.

Badshah!

Shoot me!

Bring on your sea of fire!

Perforate my chest with bullets!

My love will still triumph.

Hey, Fazal!

Samay!

Fire me up with food!

Lay your mother's lunchbox in front of me!

Those thin rotis…

radish…

onion and cucumber.

Perforate my chest with bullets!

-My love will still triumph! -My love will still triumph!

Come on.

Eat with me today.

Will you still let me watch the movie?

-The movie? -Yes.

Well, yes.

To be honest, I'm starving.

Prepare the next reel.

Fazal…

how are these movies made?

Movies?

It's all about telling stories.

Stories…

and movies…

have an old relationship.

It's just like…

politicians telling stories to win votes.

Shopkeepers telling stories to sell their stuff.

And the rich telling stories to hide their wealth.

The future belongs to storytellers.

The game…

is to tell stories.

You must know how to tell lies.

You know, I'm very good at lying.

You are a macho man

Don't you dare come before I do

You are a macho man Come to me, darling

Come closer to me And stay by my side

I'm hopeful about this union You're the one for me

You set my heart aflutter

Loverboys go berserk to be with me

But you set my heart aflutter

Listen, guys.

We need to catch the light.

But catching the light is impossible.

If we want to project the light…

we need to catch it first.

But how do we do it?

You're an idiot. What are you doing?

I'm trying to catch it.

Mr. Dave!

I want to become movies.

You don't "become" movies.

You "make" movies.

My father says it's not for us,

and that high cast Brahmins shouldn't make films.

He says the film world is sleazy.

Listen, Samay.

In today's world, there are only two castes in India.

Two?

First, the ones who speak English.

And the second, the ones who can't speak English.

So, if you want to grow up to be successful,

you need to do two things.

The first is to learn English.

And the second?

The second is to get the hell out of Chalala!

-Get out of here?! -Yes.

Leave and learn.

Oh, beloved Khwaja!

Abide in my heart

Oh, beloved Khwaja!

Abide in my heart

You restore the destiny of the helpless

You are the savior

You restore the destiny…

I'm not young like you.

I have a wife and kids.

Otherwise, I'd be a Sufi living in Turkey.

Dad, can I ask you something?

No.

Do you think we'll ever leave Chalala and move to some other place?

Hey! Are you blind?!

Hide it.

Going to the ghost village is not a good idea.

-He's right. -It's a bad idea.

Relax! There are no ghosts here.

It's just going to be us.

Tiku.

Manu.

ST.

Nano.

-I see something! -It's here!

-I see it. -Yes!

-Look, it works! -It's here!

-Look, it's here! -A little higher. Lower.

Just when the truck was speeding…

Lord Shiva appeared.

The truck said…

"Oh, Lord Shiva! The greatest of all! Please hop on."

But Lord Shiva said, "No!"

Then a queen appeared.

The queen is cross-eyed!

Lord Shiva then transformed

into a demon's avatar.

And then…

he built a palace.

A really big one.

Another queen appeared!

How many more?!

What are you cooking? It smells so good!

Palak dal dhokli.

Oh, wow!

Look, you need to do a paint job on the building's facade.

Here's some palak dal dhokli.

Palak dal dhokli?!

That's right. Palak dal dhokli cooked in lentils.

It's a special dish.

It's my mom's special.

Coriander, mint and tamarind paste.

That's too expensive for a paint job!

Sir, we don't have laborers.

They've all gone to Surat for diamond polishing.

I don't need laborers.

I need craftsmen.

Arab businessmen have taken away all the craftsmen.

I'm being reasonable. 30,000 rupees is my final price.

Thirty thousand?!

I would need 500 shows playing to a full house

to make that kind of money.

And with the kind of movies we get today,

that will never happen.

My final price is 30,000 rupees.

Well, then screw you!

Sir, can I get you some tea?

-Is he the tea seller? -Yes.

-Are you a Brahmin? -Yes.

And you sell tea?

Did you get the notice?

Yes, sir. I did.

But it was in English. So, I didn't understand.

A broad-gauge line is coming soon.

The trains will run on electricity.

But your tea stall's license will not be renewed.

So, it needs to be removed.

You will have to shut up shop.

But, sir…

the passengers would still need tea.

Well, there will be no passengers--

I'll have you know that the trains…

will pass through this station without stopping.

So, no passenger will be getting off here.

Do you understand?

Make sure that the work doesn't stop.

He's an unfortunate man.

He used to own about 500 cows.

His brothers cheated him and took everything away.

From being a cowboy…

he became a tea seller.

The next time we come here, we'll swim without any clothes on!

That's right.

-But what if girls look at us? -Listen to me.

So what if girls see us? Next time we should swim naked.

Yes. It's not at all fun to swim with clothes on.

-You're right. -What if someone takes our clothes away?

Really?

Come on.

The movie has changed.

The movie is in here?

Yes. All the reels.

Samay!

Really?

We've been seeing these boxes since we were born.

Hey! Don't look!

You know, all these boxes that we've been seeing

-contains movies. -The whole movie?

Don't look.

These boxes are taken to the big cities

like Rajkot, Jamnagar, Bhavnagar.

Lower your voice.

Look at this. An eagle is preying on a sheep.

Wow! The Himalayas!

-Look at this strange-looking animal. -Where?

Show it to me.

Look!

The sheep has been killed.

Oh, poor thing! It got killed.

Killed in cold blood.

Look at this.

Oh my God! Look at this.

Look at the way she's swaying!

You set my heart aflutter

Loverboys go berserk to be with me

But you set my heart aflutter…

-Where did she go? -Hey, what happened?!

Where's the gorgeous woman?!

-Bring her back on the screen! -Where's the girl? Bring her back!

No!

What's wrong?

This is the first time it happened. Give us some time.

-We'll return your money. -You cut off Amitabh Bachchan's scene!

This is unacceptable! Give us a refund!

Return our money!

We want a refund!

Return our money!

Return our money!

Move aside!

Make way!

Make way! Let him go!

Now we know why you've been bunking school.

Guys, we can't make films,

but we can make a film show.

My father shouldn't find out.

Yes, he shouldn't.

Calm down.

Neither your father nor mine will know anything.

We can't see squat!

I only see the stripes.

We lugged this shit all the way here for nothing! I can't see anything.

This sucks!

Fazal, why don't you watch movies?

There's none left.

I've seen them all.

Remember one thing…

movies were invented to con people.

To fool them!

Come here.

Look at the screen…

blink your eyes really fast, and tell me what you see.

I see darkness.

You see darkness, right?

Come on.

I'll explain.

Pay attention.

We feel like the film runs nonstop like this.

Right?

But that's not how it works.

It stops at regular intervals and runs.

Image after image.

One, two, three, four.

It slowly moves forward.

There's a shutter between the light and the image

that cuts the light.

It goes like this… on and off.

Check it out.

When the shutter closes, the film moves.

And when the light comes out, the film…

-Stops. -It stops.

When the shutter closes, the film moves.

When the light comes, the film stops.

Understood?

When the shutter closes…

you see darkness on the screen.

Those idiots sitting in the theater for three hours

have no idea…

that they're actually watching darkness for about an hour and a half.

These are just mind games.

It's all lies.

Got it?

Why haven't you paid my school fees yet?

Why haven't I paid your school fees?

I'll tell you.

Stay right there. I'll explain.

Stay put!

I'm warning you! Come here.

You tell me why!

-You've been skipping school! -No!

-Will you go regularly? -Yes! No!

You won't?!

You won't?!

You want me to pay the fees!

How much is the school fees?

Life is a journey

And when the time is gone

It never comes back

Samay!

Samay!

Get hold of him!

-Sir, please hear me out. -He came back here!

-Please listen to me. -Throw him out!

-Sir, listen… -Out!

Sir, this is the kid's bag.

-Hear me out-- -Shut up!

There!

If I see that little prick here again,

I'll fire you!

I'm warning you!

I will not spare you.

Does that mean you will never be allowed in Galaxy again?

What about our film projector?

Say something! Why are you quiet?

Hey!

I found a sewing machine!

Manu!

This is fun!

Dude!

Dude!

Dude!

This dude is super cool

This dude is super cool

This dude is super cool

This dude is super cool

-His heart is a stormy pool -Dude!

If you try to stop him, you're a fool

This dude is super cool

This dude is super cool

-Hello, sir. -Welcome.

What's your name?

Listen up!

Those cops are asking about the missing reels.

We have nothing to worry about.

All our stuff is in the ghost village.

Listen to me.

Our last plunder is still in the parcel room.

-Oh, no! -You moron!

You idiot!

-Come on. -Let's go.

There are many complaints of missing reels.

They've been stolen from here.

They've gone missing from here.

-Of which places? -Rajkot, Junagadh, Jamnagar.

The reels are sent across to these places from here.

-We're done for! -Oh, God!

Who broke into the parcel room?

Should I lock you all up?

You are the thieves!

No, sir.

Please let them go.

I'm the only one.

Chai!

-Buy some freshly made wafers! -Have some piping hot chai!

-Have some chai! -Buy some wafers!

-Wafers from Chalala! -Hot chai!

-Wafers from Gujarat! -Chai!

-Have some chai! -Buy some wafers!

After the train leaves, we'll go to the ghost village.

Alright.

Give it.

I hope being in the lockup wasn't too bad.

It was horrible.

-But I came up with a great idea. -What?

Our film shows will no longer be silent.

-Samay, you are a good friend. -Why?

You didn't rat us out.

And for that, we have a surprise for you.

What is it?

Sir!

Sir, I told the boys not to do that. And yet--

Relax.

This is amazing!

Bravo!

-Yes, sir? -Wow, boys!

You've done a good job.

But what are those circles, triangles,

stars and doodles for?

What does "galaxy" mean?

Galaxy…

You see…

you should learn English.

-Samay! -And…

You've done a great job.

Now can we watch films for free?

Yes.

Look at this.

Manu, Tiku, look at this amazing thing.

Let me see.

The film--

Look at this. I'll show you.

This is a filmstrip.

This is another one.

This is really bright light.

Wow!

Here, you eat first.

Have this.

Samay…

have you seen my white saree?

No.

Mom, look what I got for you.

Are you up to something?

Yes.

It's a very nice jar.

CHALALA

-Bandits are here! Run! -Bandits are here! Run!

Run! Bandits!

Bandits are here!

Run!

Run! Bandits!

Run!

Run! Bandits!

-Bandits are here! -Run!

-Run! Bandits are here! -Run! Bandits are here!

Run!

-Sing! -Sing!

That girl fell down!

Fall in love with someone

Fall in love with someone

Fall in love with someone

Fall in love with someone

Fall in love…

Samay, run! There's an urgent call from Fazal!

Hello?

-Samay? -Yes?

There's been a big problem! Come right away!

Tell me what's going on!

I'll tell you everything later.

Just get here fast! It's urgent!

There are no trains at this time. How will I come?

Figure it out! Just get here!

Come on, move it!

It's just old junk! Move it!

Take it away!

There will be new projectors coming in.

Make it quick!

Come on! Move it!

Samay, it's…

It's all over.

That was the last film show.

At least tell me what's going on.

I've been fired.

But why?

See for yourself.

Did you see it?

To run this modern projector…

you need to know English.

And you know me.

I have no knowledge of words or digits.

What about all these films?

-Move it! -Go on!

Get rid of the garbage! Go on!

Samay, the trucks are leaving!

Take the shortcut! This way!

Ride faster! We can't let it go!

-Lagrabhai! -Lagrabhai!

Lagrabhai, stop!

Stop!

-Tiku, take the others home. -Okay.

My God! We've reached Rajkot!

You want to tell me what happened

to these trucks?

I don't think you'd want to know, Fazal.

Why are you taking me to Chalala?

My friend ST's father

is the stationmaster.

I want you to meet him.

Samay, let's go and bet on lions.

Come on.

-Are you coming? -No. You guys go ahead.

Hurry up.

You'll be a porter at the new broad-gauge line.

Until then, you will look after the parcel room. Okay?

-Thank you, sir. -Go on.

And thank you, boys.

HAIL LORD RAMA

Samay.

Yes, Dad?

You don't like my dreads.

Let's go to the barber

and chop them off.

Son…

why do you want to run away?

I want to study light.

I want to know light.

It's because stories…

come from light.

And from stories…

come movies.

You want to make movies?

You really want to make movies?

Listen.

Before ST's father…

there used to be another stationmaster.

Mr. Sharma.

At that time…

you were just five.

Remember?

He was my friend.

He was the only friend you ever had.

Mr. Sharma is now in Vadodara.

I…

I've spoken to him.

About what?

About you.

Me?

Leave…

and learn.

You met my teacher, Mr. Dave?

Will you let me go?

Will you really let me go?

Yes.

When do I leave?

Now.

Look at that.

You've got exactly…

fourteen minutes…

to board Vadodara Express.

Only fourteen minutes?

The train won't stop at this station tomorrow.

Now you better leave…

before I change my mind.
