Ladies and Gentlemen!

Get ready to be amazed!

Because today, Magician Saleem will set up a magical world for you.

But to set up this world, I'll need two characters.

That is great!

The beautiful lady has taken the initiative and raised her hand.

But who among you will support this hand?

Tell me. You?

Great!

Handsome young man. Wow!

I request you to please come on the stage.

This stage is just a deception, young lady.

But do you think there can be magic in real life too?

But today, I won't show you any trick.

But I will bring magic into your life.

I had subdued a Demon on the hills of Ko-e-Asami.

Since then his magic has indwelled in me.

It is called Talluq-e-Rooh (Soul Connection),

by which souls of two bodies unite.

Look into each other's eyes.

Come on, look.

Don't feel shy. Look into each other's eyes.

Look deeply.

Now, we will blindfold them...

so that they cannot see what is happening around them.

Now you have to tell me how many times I touched you by raising your fingers.

Now, both of them will be given a writing pad and a pen.

Now the two of you...

have to use the pen as you wish.

Don't stop your hand. Be carefree with the pen.

Okay, stop.

Oh!

These are totally different.

But don't worry.

This also holds a secret.

So, come on, let's see how two souls unite.

Zab Zab Zabrak Zindabad.

Okay, Viktor. The first girl is here for the audition.

Hmm.

Oops.

Viktor! Are you fine?

Idiot. There is river flowing here.

You want to make me fall, you idiot?

Sir.

What happened to your face?

Are you out to scare children?

No. I thought if I looked Russian,

I would have a better chance to be your assistant.

Idiot, woman.

Sir, but I have a lot of experience too.

I have worked in the troop of P. A. Sarkar.

I know some tricks too.

The handkerchief trick. The coin trick. The bottle trick.

You don't have to perform magic.

You have to wear nice makeup, dress properly,

wave, bow. Okay?

You have to distract the audience so that Viktor can perform the magic.

Okay?

Do you know how to dance?

Dance?

Dance!

♪ Viktor, Viktor, Viktor ♪

♪ Viktor, Viktor, Viktor ♪

♪ I am from Russia ♪ ♪ I am Magicheskiy Viktor ♪

♪ Viktor Viktor, Viktor ♪

♪ I am from Russia ♪ ♪ I am MagicheskiyViktor ♪

♪ I am so magical, magical, magical ♪ ♪ Oh yeah ♪

♪ I am so magical, magical ♪ -Hey, stop.

We will have to fix this.

My first assistant met with an accident.

The next one was ugly.

She would also distract people but not in a good way.

There are millions of termite like people in India

but it is difficult to find one girl who is good-looking

and can follow orders.

You.

Will you follow the orders?

I will inform you if you are selected.

Next.

Stop it now.

When will Mom come?

Kids, sorry. I am very late, right?

Sorry. Don't worry. Come on, let's go.

You are one hour late, Mrs. Shroff.

Yes, Sir. Sorry.

I had an urgent work.

Come on, kids. Let's go.

-What was so important, Mom? -Nothing. Don't worry. Give me your bag.

Where is Dad? He didn't come yesterday too.

An urgent business meeting came up, so he went there.

-Where? -Various places.

I will let you know when he calls. You can speak with him, okay? Come on.

You must be hungry, right? Let's go.

Now why are you looking at his photographs?

Your son ruined everything and ran away.

You know, my junior, Mr. Sharma,

his son turned out great.

He got a job in the Railways.

So, this man is taking voluntary retirement and going abroad on a vacation.

And here, your Naveen...

has given me 555 reasons to stress at the age of 55 years.

Do one thing. Get me an ironed shirt.

Go, get it.

Are the kids asleep?

-Have you told them about Naveen? -No.

You also don't tell them anything.

See, why Naveen left home...

or what problems were you both facing,

let's keep it aside.

Pack your things and you and the kids come and stay with us in our home.

We are fine here, Father.

What is fine here?

I had Naveen's bank account checked.

There's not even ₹1000 in it.

His whole business has sunk.

His shop, office, everything will be sold off.

Next month when you have to pay the fees, how will you pay it?

I will manage.

How will you manage?

Have you ever done a job?

Do you even know how to earn money?

See, Naveen wanted to leave the house, so he left.

You also do whatever you want,

but I want to give the kids a better life.

Naveen left everything and ran away.

But that does not mean that this home will stop functioning.

I am here.

Now I don't want to be dependent on anybody,

neither on Naveen

nor you.

I don't want to be anybody's tail now.

We will meet on Sunday.

You were always adamant.

You never listen to anyone nor take anyone's advice.

Whatever happened, happened because--

You will come to your senses in just a couple of days.

Then come and beg before me.

-Hello. -Hello.

Shiri Shroff?

Yes.

I am calling from The Great Russian Magic Theatre.

You have been selected.

You can join us from tomorrow.

Remember total 4 boxes have been made. Okay?

One is magical and one is regular. So keep one magical and regular

on the right side and others on the left side. Okay.

So. You didn't put on Russian makeup today?

That was just--

So?

-What a place! -Right?

Well, what is your role here? Are you an assistant?

No. Consider me a manager.

I handle the lights, sound,

-bookings, and advertisements. -Rita!

-That's great. -Rita!

Yeah, coming!

Okay, listen. Go to that man there. He will give you your costume.

Okay? Bye. Good luck.

Hello, Sir.

I am the new assistant here. Shiri.

I know you.

We have met before, right?

Where?

You are Saleem?

Magician Saleem.

I am a big fan of you.

You don't know but when I was small, I had your huge posters hung in my room.

When I came here, I thought I had come here before.

I was here to see your show.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Get ready to be amazed.

Your line, Magician Saleem.

I was a magician...

now I clean Vilas's stage.

Vilas, who?

Vilas alias Viktor.

Do you really think he is Russian?

He is from Bilaspur.

Try it on.

If it does not fit, get it altered.

You will have to dance,

pass on equipments, clap, enter into a box, etc.

Prepare the equipments before the show.

Real magic happens here...

not on the stage.

Cleaning and greasing of equipments is absolutely crucial,

otherwise things can mess up.

What kind of mess?

Sir! How did this--

Sorry, Sir.

Sir, I'll manage all this.

When will they teach me magic?

Magic?

Get one thing straight.

You are not here to become a magician,

you are here to become the magician's assistant.

Get that?

When a person hosts a party,

the maid cleans the house, cooks, and also serves the guest.

But by doing all this she does not become the host.

You are just a maid.

Understood?

And magic cannot be taught.

Real magic is within a magician.

We are hanging out after a long time.

Where is the soda?

There he is.

Man.

-Hold on. -Sorry, Sir.

Why? What's wrong?

Saleem,

let's see your trick.

Oh.

Yeah, man, do it once.

-No, man. -Do it once.

Do it. Do it, buddy.

Yes.

Table no. 7?

This is an outburst.

Today finally, the three of us retired.

Yeah, that's right.

You two have retired.

I am retired hurt.

Saleem... why don't you retire too?

Why do you sweat for someone else?

Call your son and go to Singapore.

He is right.

You have left your magic behind.

I have left magic,

but it's not over.

I still have a lot of magic in me.

Ladies and Gentlemen.

This trick is called The Soul Connection.

I will touch one person, the other will feel the touch.

See.

Tell me, how many times did I touch.

Ma'am.

You had to say three times.

But I felt only two times.

And when someone from the audience comes, they will tell the truth, right?

Idiot, lady. You only will come from the audience.

Just remember.

Three times. Okay?

Bring it.

Draw whatever you feel like.

Give it to me.

Give it.

Idiot, woman!

I am blindfolded, I cannot see.

Is this how you'll become an assistant?

Can't you keep your hand straight?

-But how is it my fault? -That's great.

Just argue.

Don't work.

-But-- -Bloody b****.

Get out!

You also get out.

Idiots.

Bloody Viktor!

Scoundrel!

Bloody Bilaspur dog, rascal!

First grade rude! I wish I could chop him up.

-Scoundrel! -There is no glass above.

It is hollow.

You can hear everything.

Shit!

Sir, you told me that magic cannot be taught.

That Vilas was doing your tricks.

He was your assistant, right?

Looking at him, it does not seem that he learned anything on his own.

Then how?

Do you know how many tricks you can do with one hand?

Zero.

That is why I sell him my tricks.

Did you get your answer?

Why?

Sir.

That night when you did this trick, there were no girls dancing on the stage.

Sir, your style was awesome.

And the claps it got were also real.

This stupid, idiot, yelled at me for no reason.

Why are you wasting your time on him?

Make me your pupil, please. Make me a magician, Sir.

Sir. If I don't expose him in the middle of the show, I will change my name.

No one will come to watch a woman magician.

Why? Why won't they come?

Sir... if people can come to see half-naked girls dancing,

then can come for a female magician, too. I mean, it's the same trick, right?

-Then what-- -It is not the same.

It's okay, leave it.

This business can have a male magician, not a female one.

Have you ever heard of or seen a woman perform magic tricks?

No, right?

Stop daydreaming about this.

You are a maid, be a maid.

I know.

You don't have to remind me every time that I am a maid, Sir.

But who made me a maid?

It is because of you.

All those years back, you had preached...

that there can be magic in real life too, Shiri.

And you united Naveen's and my souls.

We got married.

I wanted to become a magician like my father,

instead I became a housewife

And he left me.

So I became a maid.

That rascal just ruined my life.

And you have done this to me. You are responsible for this.

So, you will have to teach me magic tricks.

I lied.

Okay?

There is no magic in real life, Shiri.

♪ My heart was lonely ♪

♪ You played such a game ♪

♪ I stay awake the whole ♪ ♪ night thinking about you ♪

♪ O player. ♪

Yes, Ma'am.

♪ You are a big magician ♪

Get me a rum, large along with cola.

You want an alcoholic drink, ma'am?

Do you have a non-alcoholic rum?

No, ma'am.

♪ My heart was lonely ♪

I saw a magician yesterday.

I don't know how he put this inside.

Forget it, man. If he was a magician, he must have put it with his magic.

Why are you hung up on it?

Magic does not exist.

It is just to entertain people.

You are not able to do this trick...

because you don't know how to shock people.

It is easier said than done, Ma'am.

Absolutely.

If you know it, show us the trick.

One drink.

People enjoying in the bar, pay a little attention here too.

Magic.

Magic does not exist.

It is just a...

deception of the eyes.

I want to tell you a few things.

Let's liven the environment my friends.

I want to insert...

this purse in the bottle.

His treasure is big.

He seems to be a rich man.

But...

his brain is empty.

The path may be very difficult,

but I will make my way.

In this world of male magicians,

I will become a female magician...

and will conquer the world.

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Get ready to be amazed!
