01x04 - Phas Gaye

Post by bunniefuu »

You said we're only

going over for a meeting.

Yes. But they are a decent family.

And their daughter is pretty

talented and sophisticated.

How do you know?

How do you know?

Just by hearing her sing.

It's not just about her voice.

She is disciplined too.

Even though she lived abroad, she

worked on a single song for two years.

This marriage will

only make you responsible.

Yes.

And her money and status

will help us as well, won't it?

Radhe.

If that's your concern

then I promise you we

won't accept a single penny.

I must admit, sister-in-law,

she has a a beautiful voice.

Talk to him.

This time on Makar Sankranti

you will be singing instead of me.

For the first time people other than

this family will hear your voice.

Don't let your focus deviate.

This family is your responsibility.

Look

I know you're angry with

my decision of your marriage.

But I strongly believe

you won't find anyone

better than Sandhya.

What am I going to tell Tamanna?

What else?

Same thing that all girls tell me.

Don't send any more flowers.

Everything that happened

between us was an accident. Forget it.

And later you can show

her your wedding card.

Hey will she sing at your wedding?

Can you stop talking nonsense?

I really like Tamanna.

Tamanna is hit, and she's hot.

She's as cool as

a drink on a warm day.

Everyone likes her.

Dear Jodhpur Romeo,

the real question is does she like you?

But why else would she

kiss me?

Why?

Because she is from Mumbai.

She must have kissed at

least more than a dozen guys.

I don't care. All I know is

there is something between us.

There is confusion.

What happened could be a

hangover of your role-play as well.

Listen, take my advice and

have a DTR conversation with her.

DTR?

DTR means Define The Relationship.

Is this relationship

going in any direction

or is it just going

to stay in a no-man's land?

What are you two?

Girlfriend-boyfriend.

Friends with benefits.

Boss and Employees.

Or f*ck! buddies.

Lyrics.

Let's try something

Radhe, Space bar.

Yes.

Yeah

No.

What was I thinking?

This sounds so cheesy.

No, this is good.

This is actually good.

The lyrics are good

and so are the emotions.

And you're singing

straight from your heart.

Radhe, you don't have to be polite.

It's an absurd song.

It sounds like some 90's Bollywood song.

90's were the golden year, weren't they?

"Kuch Na Kaho.

Jaadu Teri Nazar. Pehla Nasha."

"Bahut Pyaar Karte hain Tumko Sanam."

They all sounds very good 30 years ago.

But not any more.

And anyway, Bollywood is

still stuck in the middle ages.

The same old done to death love songs.

One kiss leading to a lifetime

of love and all that sh*t.

What do you mean to say?

One kiss doesn't mean anything.

Sometimes it does

other times it doesn't.

But the point is we

must keep up with time.

Especially with a genre

as competitive as romance.

What am I saying

I feel like such a fool.

I thought I could see

Love in a unique way, but

But this is just

like that unique love.

f*ck Love.

f*ck this song.

It's not working.

We'll have to think of something else.

Tamanna, let's try to work on this.

We don't have the time, Radhe.

This is not working.

Can I try once?

Give me some time please.

"You're like a golden moment"

"and I am viral hour."

"Yet we're stuck together in this."

"The meme conversations."

"And the video calling nights"

"What is wrong with us."

"Everything feels so nice"

"My heart feels restless."

"How long are we going

to live like this."

Amazing, Radhe.

It had everything.

It had emotions,

and the lyrics are amazing.

I wrote this.

When did you start writing lyrics?

Yesterday.

Sorry, dear.

At ease. At ease.

Some Devender Rathod

is here to meet you.

I heard you're looking for a singer.

I am a singer.

What do you sing?

Although I am trained

in classical singing

but I sing ads and jingles too.

"Cures your Constipation"

"Lakotia Churan."

Get yours at the closest store.

- You sung that.

- And that's not all.

"Brings out every lady's inner beauty

Punita's sarees."

"The best sari Punita Saree."

And Jodhpur Vigilance week too.

You can take an audio test as well.

- No.

- Later?

- I would have loved to

- Money is not an issue.

I will work at half rate.

- That's

- And look at this.

I made this myself.

Devlin.

I will play this for free, only for you.

Because I am a package deal.

Singer and Musician.

I've already finalized a singer.

- If you could hear me sing, then

- I am sorry

It's alright.

At least we had a chance to meet.

- Nice studio.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

The loan installment has been entered.

- But the monthly installments

- You will get the installments, Mr. Yadav.

Yes, sir.

But you won't ever call or text

Mr. Rajender again.

Never, sir.

If there is any concern, you can always

talk to my secretary Mr. Pyarelal.

There is no need for that.

Your word is enough.

And Mr. Rajender is

one of our oldest customers.

He shares an old relation with our bank.

Yes. And you kept the honor

of that relation pretty well.

Sir, can I get something for you?

They are really tasty.

Thanks.

- Sir, can I

- It's okay.

Rajender sir,

please let us serve you again.

Surya.

- I can never forget this favor that you

- This is not a favor.

We are no longer friends,

but part of the same family now.

And family always helps each other.

Radhe is a lovely boy.

Panditji

Surya has lived overseas

and made his name over there.

- He has earned a lot of money.

- It's very good!

I have seen her somewhere.

You think you have

seen every girl somewhere.

But I really have seen her.

Does she come on TV?

How would I know?

Doesn't matter.

You can always ask on you wedding night.

Aunty please join us.

We'll all have dinner together.

I've some work pending in the kitchen.

But please begin.

She is already looking after you,

sister-in-law. Please join us.

Later.

One big happy family, huh?

Son, how is your practice going on?

I wouldn't know.

Ask Panditji.

Well, how can he say

in front of his teacher?

I am really happy to have an

intelligent and mature son like Radhe.

- Sandhya is also our precious one!

- He's praising her so much.

By the way, with everyone's permission

can I take Sandhya to

the Sheetla Mata Carnival tonight?

If Sandhya wants to go, then why not.

Of course.

Wow so nice.

I love puppet shows.

Thank you.

Sandhya

I wanted to say something.

Yes.

Actually you might

find it a little weird.

But, I think you should know the truth.

My family don't want you to know this.

- Are you g*y?

- What?

No No!

I am bipolar.

Okay.

I have frequent mood swings.

I am happy one minute, and the next

minute I start throwing things around.

I start crying

I get too emotional.

I believe you shouldn't

be under any delusion, so

Have you tried Zapiz.

- What?

- Zapis? Z A P I Z.

One Zapiz every day and two Marters.

Morning and evening.

And eat bananas every day.

It increases your ceretonin level.

Spinach, of course.

Tastes really bad.

But trust me,

it will be really good for you.

You don't have a problem

that I am bipolar.

Radhe, everyone has a

problem but no one says it.

I really appreciate your honesty.

Don't worry, we'll fight this together.

- Is she Manglik?

- No.

- Nadi Dosa?

- No.

Any other problems, take a look.

No.

Here I can see 35 points matching.

Like Lord Ram and Sita.

Now, let's get to the point.

He doesn't want to marry this girl.

Yes.

So you just give a report

that the birth charts don't match.

The wedding will get canceled

and we will pay you extra.

-This is Girdhar Maharaj's hermitage

-I got it.

And not your college

where someone can fill in.

I am providing you

free internet pack also.

Get out.

Stop this charade,

would you prefer alcohol instead.

I said get out.

- Leave.

- Come on.

Tell your daughter not to call me again.

Get out.

Control your breathing

so you can control your Thumri.

Strong control.

Only when your lungs are filled

your voice will be heard loud and clear.

Without using the mic

the front row audience and the back seat

audience should be able to hear you

without missing a single tune.

And practice Kharaj

Because lower your intonation,

the higher your pitch.

Again.

Lower. Lower.

Lower. Lower.

Higher. Higher.

Slowly let your pitch climb slowly.

Covering every tune

I need a sharp rise.

A sharp rise.

Take a deep breath

and slowly release it on

this flame making it flutter

but doesn't extinguish.

This way you can control your breathing.

No, no, you're doing classical again.

Make it more plain.

No, How many times

do I have to repeat myself?

How many times?

Sing louder.

Why are you screaming?

You have a mic, don't you?

Did I sing something wrong?

The tune was right but

we don't need so much projection.

We don't need it.

Don't be hasty.

Don't be hasty.

You still need a lot of practice.

Radhe.

We just need to trap the

final piece and we have the song.

I really need you to

build this crescendo, okay?

Stop.

Once again.

Try falsetto, okay.

I know it's not allowed

in Indian classical music

- but we really don't have time.

- Tamanna

I cannot sing in falsetto.

- Try once.

- I am trying.

I am practicing more on my high notes.

For my classical song

as well as our song.

We'll do it.

Singing in falsetto

will not lose your dignity.

Do you know who sings in falsetto?

Only those who can't sing

high notes in their voice.

I don't need falsetto.

Falsetto isn't just used

to reach high notes easily.

It's about the texture

of the song, Radhe.

Eddie Vedder does it.

Cold Play does it all the time.

Kishore Kumar, Freddie Mercury.

You think they all use falsetto

because they can't sing in high notes?

It's about the song,

not about the singer's ego.

- How is it ego?

- This is your ego?

Even I suggested you use

Sitar after the second stanza

but you used guitar instead.

Didn't you?

Did I say that it's your ego?

You did it because that was your choice.

So this is my choice.

I am the music composer, Radhe.

So I will decide what goes best.

We are on a strict deadline and

you have to give the song before that.

You just have to sing

in falsetto for a few seconds.

I am being stubborn?

What about you?

Finish the song on a high note.

Why? Change the ending.

This is not some Raga.

It's just a song.

People will hear it on

YouTube and forget all about it

Sorry Tamanna.

No.

Tamanna.

Just a minute. Please.

I am sorry.

I shouldn't have said that.

A lot has happened in my

life in the last couple of days

which I never expected.

When I sing classical with Panditji,

I see your face.

When I sing with you,

Panditji haunts me.

I think all this is too much for me.

And I vented my frustration on you.

Please don't mind.

What happened that night

was very special for me.

Maybe not for you.

Maybe it was just role-playing for you.

It wasn't a big deal for you.

But my life has turned upset down.

I haven't slept for four days.

I wish there was a signal

on the road we're hurrying down

telling me when to stop,

and when to go.

But unfortunately, there isn't one.

I just don't understand,

I am totally confused.

And I want to be with you,

Always around you

but whenever I am around you,

I don't know what to do.

I feel really nice

whenever I am around you.

Sometimes even strange.

But that weird part

I mean it feels nice.

But the weird

I mean you must have

had this feeling too?

- For someone

- Shut up.

This is Mohan Singh Bhatiji and

it's an old store that we always visit.

We're here to buy

a saree for the wedding.

Of course.

- See if you like anything here.

- Okay.

Rahul, show them the new stock.

Go with them.

Please come.

What type of saree

are you looking for?

Something nice and traditional.

What color?

What do you think?

Green or blue?

Anything

I mean I am not that well-versed

Doesn't matter.

I will show you both colors.

Perfect. Thank you.

Sandhya

That I

What secret do you

want to tell me this time?

Are you color blind?

What?

See, Radhe

I very well

know that you are not bipolar.

And I know you don't

want to get married.

Here you go, madam.

You won't find anything

like this all over Jodhpur.

Show us something in orange.

- Orange?

- Orange.

Fine.

I am sorry, Sandhya.

You see Actually

I have a girlfriend.

Okay.

So why don't you marry her?

I wanted to

I still do.

You sang so well

in front of Panditji, that

So why don't you tell

Panditji about this girl?

She is different.

She has blue hair.

And I just got sanctified.

If Panditji finds out

He will take away the

sacred thread from you.

And then you won't be the torchbearer

of the great Rathod family.

Right?

You know, this choice is

not between me and that girl.

It's about your music and that girl.

Here you go madam, orange.

And that girl in Kumkum

Bhagya wore the same color

Orange doesn't look nice.

Show me something in yellow.

- Sandhya, if you can say no

- I cannot say no.

But why?

I can't.

Radhe, I understand

the situation you are in.

But I can't.

Don't you want to get married

to a person that really loves you?

My will doesn't count here.

You can do anything

you want after the wedding.

I won't tell anyone,

I won't ask any questions.

I will just be a good f*cking wife.

Here are all the designs

you are looking for.

And sir, here are all

the colors you're looking for.

Nice.

You know what, pack this one.

Okay.

Nice, isn't it?

I am confused.

Even after I told her the truth

how can an educated,

rich, sophisticated

Hot!

Hot girl

be so desperate for the wedding.

Even I feel something is wrong.

Correct. I've been trying

to tell you since day one.

We just have to find.

Every person's secret

is on social media.

Let me search.

Bro she isn't on Facebook,

nor Insta, or Twitter.

What should I do!

This is something bigger.

She is from Belgium.

And not a trace of her.

Thank you.

That was quick.

Tamanna, I hate you.

You rob me clean for every song.

But when you create music like this

you just want me to

make sweet-sweet love to you.

Yeah, you wish old man.

And that Altaf, what a voice.

I mean, if you haven't blown him yet,

I will blow him.

Well, that's already been taken care of.

You horny sl*t!

Shut up, Arghya.

Listen, JP's approved the video.

And I've got us a massive budget,

It's gonna be huge.

Huge?

Like Kardashian's bum.

It's amazing Arghya.

Listen, I've arranged a

corporate show for you in Jodhpur.

Why Arghya?

I'll send you all the details later.

I've to rush.

Okay, bye, bye.

Okay, I love you. Bye.

Sir. We'll need a camera.

The manor looks beautiful today.

On Makarsankranti, people fly kites

but Panditji likes to squander money.

Today on the occasion

of Makar Sankranti

and with his highness' permission

I would like to introduce

a torchbearer for my family.

All these years the love

and adoration that you gave me

I would expect you all to

give him the same and encourage him.

With that request I would like

to present to you my grandson Radhe.

Wow! Wonderful!

Panditji, please come.

- No.

- Please come.

Sandhya, dear come.

Wow Radhe,

what a mesmerizing performance.

Well, I am assured that

Panditji has found his successor.

Now, with the permission of

both their parents

I am feeling so

happy that my brother

Suryasen's daughter Sandhya

will be marrying Radhe.

Congratulations, Panditji.
