How is it? - Nice.
It's not just nice...it's spectacular.
Because my Shastnj ji designed it.
And do you know what I did?
I killed him.
Yes, I killed him.
L.. I killed him.
Bir1h-Death, Even/thing is destined.
From Sita's abduction to Lanka's destruction.
From Draupadi's ignominy to the defeat of Kauravs.
Even/thing was destined.
The one above us all has pre-destined even/thing for us.
We will have our share of rains.
And only our share of sunshine.
The flipping ofthe coin will favour us when it's our time.
Heads!
Even/thing is destined.
But the interesting thing is that...
We have no idea where our share of clouds, sun and coin are?
That's why I say
Keep changing the direction of the wind.
Keep Collecting sunshine in your fist.
Keep tossing the coin.
Without fail, relentlessly.
Because we are all destined to fly.

You're playing right in the middle of my class.
You're also teaching right in the middle of my game.
See, children..
At the end of my cane..
...stands the most stupid person in the world. - That's true.
But which end?
This end or that end? - Quiet!
Quiet! Learn something from your nephew, Narayan
Year after year he has done well at his studies...
...so much so that today he shares the same bench as you.
And you, your books have been rusting in the same trunk for years.
Same trunk?
No, sir. I changed my trunks this morning only.
Quiet.
Do you want to set a record in failing?
Do you want to study?
Get out. - Forever?
Get out! - My bag...
Get out of here. - Thank you.
Quiet! No one's going anywhere.
L'll teach that scoundrel a lesson.

"Free Flying Head"
What? Signature?
Not just signature... it's a memorabilia.
It's always treasured. - Of glorious people.
I see. So it's decided.
One day I'll do something so glorious..
...that you will take my autograph as well.
And call it.. memorabilia.
Buzz off!
Laughing at me?
Should I prove it to you?
How about a bet? - Done.

Ticket. - Are you crazy?
Here.
Stopping me from entering my own house.
Who appointed you? Tell me. Who?
Your father did.
Govind Shambhu Talpade.
He also had to be born as my father in my house only.
What has the world come to?
I've to climb the pipe to my own home.
Pant's torn!
Come on..
Start. - Open up. Lift the cunain.
What the..
Hey Champl... Come quickly.
Your entn/'s next.
Me? - Yes. Come quickly.
You're late.
You aren't even ready.
I told you a thousand times...you will get me fired.
No touching here, uncle.. - Adjust your dhoti.
What's my name in this play?
Dushyant. Shankuntala's Dushyant.
Go on now. Go.
Shakuntala...l am your Dushyant, and you're my Shakun...
Tie it.
You've been drinking again.
Bloody drunkard.
Do you even remember your lines?
I am in love with you, Shakuntala.
Let's go far away.
Hold me tight.
Don't be so shy.
Sorn/, I am late. - Who?
Uncle, it's me. - Bandya, you?
Yes. - Then who's that?
Beloved..
Beloved's got red undenNear.
You want it?
Who are you?
Who sent him here?
Myself Dushyant... 4th Standard, Failed eight times.
This is so ironic, friends.
In the ston/, Dushyant didn't recognize Shakuntala..
...and now, Shakuntala doesn't recognize Dushyant.
That's Talpade's useless boy.
Hey... you mean Govind Shambhu Talpade.
Be respecting.
Someone throw him out of here.
Maushi.
I am in love with you Shakuntala.
Let's go far away. - What's this drama?
Get him out. - Get him out.
Out. Out. - Who was that?
Who was that? - Me.
Rascal...you came here to watch a drama, didn't you?
So watch.
We want a refund.
Guard, throw him out.
Maushi, my priceless hear1's at stake here.
And he wants a refund.
Get him out.
Let me go.
Shakuntala you explain them.
Let me go.
MY Slippers.
Stop. Stop.
Someone catch him.
StOP-
Stop him.
Matches. - Matches?
What do you intend to do?
Blow up his lordship's bungalow?
When the time comes, you'll know what my intentions are?. - What?
No...No...
Well... what will be messier?
...your Lordship or his shit?
You're acting smart I will search you.
You don't know what a fierce policeman (Foolishman) I am.
It tickles. - Quiet. Stand straight.
I assure you, Mr. Shastn/.
In my custody you'll be laughing much less.
Wow, sir...you're looking like Sherlock Holmes.
Chatterjee, Chatter less...and arrest him. - Yes, sir.
6-0!
Keep running...Talpade!
6-0!
Get up. - Govind Shambhu Talpade..
...is that the way to wake people up? - What?
Did you hear that, Kaushaliya?
Now your ill-mannered son will teach us manners?
What's this? - I don't know.
You don't know.. How could you know?
Education and you are like the opposite banks of a river.
Give that back.
It wrong to touch other's belongings.
When will you learn, Govind Shambhu?
And who are you? An idol of learning?
At first it was just a little fondness for alcohol.
But now you're going to dance girls as well.
Right?
This is the first time anyone from the Talpade family..
...was found at a dance girl's place.
You only said...do something that no one has done before.
And now that I did..
...it's hard for you to pat my back.
Shivy.
Please...just concentrate on your studies.
You've flunked 8 times.
I can't see it again.
Well...don't get your cataract treated.
And you won't ever see anything again.
Shivy. Quiet. Aren't you ashamed?
What shame, mother?
If he had any shame, he would know..
...that boys half his age are struggling for independence.
And he's blabbering nonsense.
Brother, only slaves fight for Iibeny.
I am free. From here.
And anyway...we don't just want freedom from the Brithishers.
Grandma needs freedom from our traditions..
...which made her shave off her hair.
Mother needs freedom from your fun/.
Poor woman can't speak. - See!
Sister-in-law needs freedom from our society.
Which did not let her study.
And brother...you want freedom too...
From me!
And Govind, you need freedom too..
From your onhodoxy.
Because that's the root of all evil.
And after that, we'll no longer beg..
...we would rather snatch our freedom from the British.
HGY--'
Brigadier Shivy Talpade... ofthe buffoon battalion.
Wasn't your horn honking enough..
...that now you have also staned shouting.
Not a horn. It's a trumpet.
But, where is it?
Back again to be beaten.
No...No..l just wanted to see whether..
...you still look beautiful when I am sober.
Come back in the evening.
Stars don't shine in the day.
It's lying on the table...your English horn.
Champa picked it up from the stage.
And my head?
It's been missing since last night.
I guess that also got left behind.
Did you find it?
You didn't tell me what you saw. - What?
Do I still look beautiful after you're sober...or not?
What are you saying?
Liquor is not as intoxicating as you are.
You look gorgeous.
Those with an empty pocket.
...tn/ charming with their words.
Anyway, I am used to people like you.
Who often speak nonsense when they're drunk.
Don't forget, some people often speak the truth when they are drunk.
This is Shastn/'s bag. Check it!
There's no book in here, sir.
Some say he's a scientist.
Some say he's a freedom fighter.
I say he's a bomb-maker.
He's a clown, and you're too worried about him.
EmPtV-bag...empty stomach..
Empty mind. - Empty-bag... Empty mind.
They revolted against the queen, in '57.
Keep an eye on him. - Sir.
Hey...who's there?
Get down. - Catch him! Catch him!
Get down. - Wait. Catch him.
Don't push.
Oh... - Oh...what are you doing here?
When did you come back from Benaras.. - Hey.
First tell me, where's my book?
First you tell me, how did that book get into my shin?
Ifthey overhear, we'll be skinned alive.
Excellent progress.
First brothel and nowjail.
He's getting crazier by the day.
Getting crazy is the sign of getting smart.
According to Charu Saraswati ji..
Look, please don't suppon him, Shastnj ji.
And next time you find him lying on the streets..
...l suggest that you take him home.
It's best if all the Iunatics stay together.
But the bail papers are ready, sir.
I came here to bail someone, and so I will.
Not for that oaf, but Shastnj instead.
Shastn/?
May I remind you, sir, that he's a suspect?
He's harmless.
He's a bit eccentric, but harmless.
Make sure it's done. - Yes.
Bail!
Bail! Bail! Bail!
Bail!
Thank you. - Welcome.
You really are stupid.
Sometimes you have to scratch someone's back..
And then...this one's your own... Father.
Understood idiot?
Body of iron...brass arms.
Wheels on the legs...and a pointed nose slicing through the air.
I read it somewhere.
Where's my book?
I know I am an idiot.
But in the current situation, you have to scratch my back.
Give my bail and take your book.
Sir..
What's he making?
Bomb or something?
Shastnj ji hardly ever makes his hair..
What can he possibly make?
Thank you.
I think he knows something, this one.
He's playing a game with us.
HGY--'
I didn't bail you out for free. - Yeah.
L'll deliver your book at your address.
My address.
The entire British battalion doesn't know my address.
He thinks he can find it.
Can't handle a thing. Neither his book nor his kite.
Pull...Pull.. - No, friend. I got to let it loose.
The wind's blowing from the west, the sea.
Ifl tie it here, it'll keep floating for several hours.
It's not saline.
So the wind isn't blowing from the sea..
...and it won't keep up for hours.
2-3 minutes more.
5 at the most.
If you want to take a nap..
...then fix two paper wings on either side ofthe kite.
They will cut through the wind, and the kite will keep floating.
Who told you? - The eagle's wings.
I noticed them while flying kites.
It's the only bird that can stay in air..
...for a long time without flapping it's wings.
Got it?
Shivy.
Any relation with that girl means suicide.
Think before you do anything.
Sister-in-law, love cannot be rationalized.
So you broke out of prison.
Someone bailed me out.
This mean someone does love you.
Go on...marn/ her.
What's the problem?
It's social sen/ice.
Education to women, widow-marriage and..
Prostitute-marriage!
I wish your head was as big as your vocabulan/..
Till yesterday you barely grew a moustache.
...and now you have full grown horns!
Look...if you want to stay in this house..
...then, you'll live by my rules.
Change yourself... or change your house.
OkaY-
Let him go!
Last night...he was lying on the streets, unconscious.
People thought he was a beggar and threw these coins at him.
That dance girl has taught him new means of earning.
Well...whatever it is..
At least it's my hard earned money.
And not taxes extracted from poor farmers..
...the way you do!
Get out!
Shivy!
My dear friend, just watch her dance..
But don't dance to her tunes.
And you just give me money, not a lecture.
Tailors don't stick pockets into shins of paupers like us.
And my father used to say..
When one can't change the direction ofthe winds...
I know... one should adjust his sails...
No, Simply board another boat.
And here you have a ship waiting for you.
Epitome of loyalty! Have you got my book?
Who gave you the address?
Normally dust deposits on books..
...but, there was sand on this one.
And I saw the cover it was wrapped in.
Duek, a special mix of cotton and canvas...
...which is used in ships and boats.
I scratched my brains for few moments.
And made my way here.
By the way, what are you tn/ing to do?
This is beyond your imagination.
Engine. - What?
En...What?
A unique device... that can pull anything.
By itself.
By itself... but upside down?
Opposite of 'Dev' (God). - Demon!
Diny mind.
Dev-Ved.
Ved-Dev.
'Ved' means the knowledge ofthe Gods.
Read it backwards.
Shloka 312, verse 8..
'Yujur Ved.'
Meaning? - Meaning..
To do something different..
...you have to turn things around.
Understood?
Govind Shambhu Talpade always talks nonsense.
But there's one thing he is right about.
He says, after spending a decade..
...with mad ascetics in Beneras, Shastn/'s lost his marbles.
You've become too cud.
L'll pull your tongue out.
Leave the reward for returning the book, at least lend me some money.
Did you see a board outside.. Shastnj Co-operative Bank?
Leave!
What's behind that cunain?
Why do you care? Get lost.
Shivy!
Shivy! Shivy! Shivy, wait.
Turn the handle ofthat machine on the count ofthree.
Okay?
Yes!
Charu Saraswati ji..
...what else do I turn upside down to make this engine work?
Mr. Shastn/, can your machine pull anything?
Yes, it can. - Sure?
Yes.
Then I suggest you finish making it quickly.
So it can pull the vehicle of my love..
...back on track.
It's working... chug, chug...chug!
Shivy! Shivy!
Will you work for me?
I will pay you Rs 20 for a month. Take this.
A man in love is good for nothing.
This is all I need.
And in return...
...you can keep this.
It's brass, German-made.
Keep it safe.
But this engine... How?
You didn't need to turn things upside down.
All you had to do was to turn the steam back into the engine.
Shloka 318 not 312..
Verse 3 not 8. Yajur Ved.
See you.
Keep moving. Keep moving.
Keep moving, the show's houseful.
Leave. Go.
Champa!
You said the house was full.
What's this?
Why?
Can't one man buy all the tickets?
Madam...will you go out with me?
Sitara sells her dance, not her evenings.
No one can put a price to anything which is hers.
Neither her evenings..
...nor her an.
You...Who..
So...where will you take me?
It's light. That means it can fly.
Melt it. - This?
Yes, melt it down.
Shastnj ji, what are you doing? Give it back.
You sold it to me.
But it's meant for playing.
Maybe for you, but it's just brass for me.
HeY--
Praise the Lord!
Hail the Lord!
So tell me disciples...
What did Lord Hanuman fly with?
My trumpet
His trumpet.
His trumpet? - Yes.
But, Shastnj ji, wasn't that his trumpet? - It was.
But he sold it to me. And I paid him for it.
Later he stole it and ran away.
What's going to happen to this boy?
But, Shastnj ji...he hasn't come home for a long time.
I'll see whether he did or not.
This is Shivi's room.
Shastnj ji, mind your back.
Maybe I don't look that way, but I am still agile.
And young.
Shastnj ji.
Did you get hun?
He may not look that way, but he's agile.
And young. - Be quiet.
But the trumpet? - The trumpet was made of brass.
But your son is a gem. And I want him.
Good you chucked him out.
Because one doesn't learn to fly in the nest.
He'll fly.
Shivy will fly.
Will Shivy grow wings?
Oh God...l wonder where he is.
Champ...bring a cup of tea.
One? Sitara never shares her tea.
I don't feel like. - You don't.
No mood or no money?
Get two.. - I can't let my darling pay.
Only one.
Me...
Your darling?
Men like you come by the dozens.
Well...what can you do?
Whatever you say? - Whatever I say?
Yes.
And what if you don't.
Then I won't show my face to you again.
And what ifl do it?
Then...anything you want.
I am quite a rascal...
I can ask for anything. - I see.
What will you ask for?
A kiss?
Accepted.
On your lips?
Hmmm
Really?
Don't get so excited.
The reward's quite big..
...so you will have to do something big for it.
You mean...there's a condition.
Conditions!
Three of them.
First one?
Spell it.
Make these two glasses full.
Second condition.
"For you the moons and stars l'll pluck."
"And even break a British officer's tooth, if you order my lady luck."
Go get me a British officer's tooth!
So officer, you've a tooth ache.
I need one. One tooth. - I'm okay.
No.. I'm okay.
Hold on.
Get off me. - The blessing of tooth-fain/
Darling, spread your legs. Good.
Come on..
Was your mother also like this?
I remember nothing.
Except that there was someone.
...who would oil my hair and tie a braid.
Must be my mother.
By the way, you forgot all about the conditions and the reward.
Shivy never forgets anything.
And I can't collect my reward..
...without completing all the conditions.
So...your third condition.
Sitara never forgets too.
I will tell you my third condition too..
But when the time's right.
Crazy b0V--
Mam] this crazy boy.
I admit he is a bit stupid, a fool..
...but, he is one in a million.
Mam] him.
Do you know what you're saying? - Yes, mam] him!
What a childish demand?
Mam] him!
Dance girls don't get married. - Why not?
Mam] him.
You're a blue-blood, and I'm a harlot.
Mam] him.
Our worlds are different, Shivy.
He will change even/thing, mam] him.
Even if even/thing changes..
...it can't change the fact, that I'm of a lower caste.
And...l am of a higher caste.
Scores settled.
You don't settle scores in love like this.
There are no scores in love.
Get some sleep.
Will you then mam] me?
When I wake up, you'll be here...right?
Sitarat is only good for some fun.
Not for falling in love.
Don't tn] to find me.
"O naive head, what has befallen you?"
"After all what's the cure...for this pain?"
"O naive head, what has befallen you?"
Drinking on the streets?
You dare offend the law..
...that too in officer Chatterjee's area? - What is..
...the punishment for this offence. - 6 months ofjail.
And...for breaking a head.
"I have hopes of faithfulness from the one..."
"who knows not what faith is"
"O naive head, what has befallen you?"
This is no time to drink tea.
Yeah, this is the time to get high, rather.
Should I offer you some more liquor?
You brought me here to lecture me?
I took your father's advice.
Ifl find you lying somewhere..
...I should bring you home.
And so I did.
Why are you doing this? For me?
Not for you...
for myself.
I need you.
There's something about you. - What?
Something...that's rare in humans these days.
It's only found in dogs.
You've a specialty, and that's loyalty.
Whatever you do, you do it with a tinge of loyalty.
Whether it was the trumpet, or Sitara.
What's the point?
She's gone.
She hasn't gone beyond the moon and the stars, right?
There are some things, which no matter how far they are...
...can be seen.
Moon and the stars are in the sky.
So why don't you build a home in the sky?
High above...in the clouds.
And when you'll look down..
...she will be looking at you too.
But how will I get there?
On a plane.
Let's build a plane together.
Hold on. Okay.
Plane... - Yes.
'Pushpak Vimaan.' (Air borne plane)
People will use to travel around.
From here to there..
Like a flying ship.
Like a ship that sails on water..
...similarly, an air-plane that shall sail on clouds?
What did you say?
An air-plane.
Wow! What a name?
Yes. Air-plane.
I was the one who consumed liquor and you've gotten drunk.
No one's built an air-plane in the world.
What a man!
I am sober again.
I am venj close...yet quite far.
The English don't want me to complete my invention.
They can kill me anytime.
Your life's in threat because of an airplane.
It might be just an airplane for the people.
A scientific man/el.
But it's a revolution for me.
It's the ray of hope, which shall encourage..
...these enslaved people, that.
...we're as good as anyone else.
We can be independent too.
They can restrain us on eanh.
But how can they stop us from soaring in the sky?
Shivy, Indians will fly...
...towards an independent future.
The first flying man in the world...will be an Indian.
That's my dream.
Would you like to see?
Would you like to see my dream with your eyes?
Come on.
Now...jumP-
Come on.
What are you saying?
It's nothing, Just go. - No.
Put on your glasses.
Will you get me killed?
Pull the rope!
Shastnj Ji, I am your assistant, but who is mine.
You also need an assistant?
But who?
Shastnj Ji, me!
"To shine like a star..."
"..you have to burn like one."
"To shine like a diamond..."
"Be ready to be out like one."
"To be immonal like time..."
"You have to be on a constant move."
Oh; isn't it the same book?
It's not just a book, it's a treasure.
Treasure full of details about making an airplane.
I never showed it to anyone.
For I couldn't find anyone trustwonhy.
I built a steam-engine.
First with helium, then I tried with nitrogen.
But even/thing failed. Gasoline.
I need you, Shastnj ji, not this book.
Keep tn/ing out your ideas.
And I will be right beside you, as your trusted aide.
But...the British should never lay their hands on this book.
Remember that ston/...?
...where the beast's head was in the parrot's body.
My head dwells in this.
I am alive as long as this exists.
Ifthis is dead, so am I.
Heads!
This is cheating. You always win.
Look...we can toss the coin..
...but only He decides whether it'll be heads or tails.
When it's your turn to fly..
...this coin will definitely favor you.
Where did these dark clouds come from?
It can't be gasoline.
From Lanka to Ayodhya, how could Lord Ram not encounter any dark clouds?
It's clearly written in the scriptures..
Light yellow is fuel's colour... It's not a name.
So you know think more than me?
All I know is that we're depending too much on the scriptures.
Tn/ing to build an air-plane based on old mythological books?
Meaning...year 1200
1000.
8 miles..
And Bhanu.. - I know.. Sun!
Now multiply all three.
1200x1000x8... what do we have?
9,60,00,000 miles.
The distance between eanh and sun.
And these things are mentioned..
...in a mythological book like these.
Mr. Shastn/...these things can impress kids..
...but can't make an air-plane fly.
You don't trust me, do you? - No, I don't.
So leave. - Fine...l am going.
Leave.
Tn/ing to teach me!
So you're back.
Back in 4.5 hours.
Last time you took 6.
Don't make me furious, or I'll leave again.
So go.
Who's stopping you? Leave now.
You go. - This is my house, why should I?
What are you saying? - Be quiet.
When did this arrive? You didn't tell me.
There's nothing to say.
The king of Baroda has denied our request.
Shivy...seems like our destiny is out for a stroll.
Shastnj ji, one shouldn't depend on destiny too much.
Even the unfonunate do have a fate.
You don't look stupid, but you are.
Man will fly.
Fain/tale.
In real life, fain/tales don't come true.
I am sorn/, I don't believe in your claims.
But you believe in Lord Ram, right?
The 'Pushpak Vimaan'..
...in which Lord Ram flew from Lanka to Ayodhya.
You're talking about mythology.
Myth...
That's a lie. Unfonunately, your highness.
These stories have no relation with reality.
Even we've read in scriptures.
That God's could communicate from a distance.
And Graham Bell's telephone does the same thing.
Railways, motor cars...phonogram, telegram.
All these fain/tales are now coming true.
Because we're unraveling the mysteries behind them.
Mysteries will keep unraveling..
...and slowly all these tales will turn into reality.
His highness, if what we built wasn't commendable..
...then the British wouldn't be after us.
You mean...the English are ignorant.
...and you two are smart
Have we ever built anything before them?
An/abhatt invented 'Zero' before the rest of the world.
'Zero'.
Saint Kannad...discovered an 'Atom' before the rest ofthe world.
'Atom.'
5,000 years ago, Diamond was discovered in India.
And I reckon the British... didn't even exist back then.
Your Highness, do you know..
...why fain/tales don't turn into reality?
Because in a haste to grow up..
...we forget to think like kids.
Man shall fly... an air-plane shall fly.
We just need your help to turn this tale into reality.
And yes...we're not stupid.
Just a little eccentric.
How much money do these eccentrics need?

"With your mere touch you change people's fates"

Move. Move...what's going on?
Quiet!
It's not a bomb, it's a flying machine.
That's what my sources have told me.
And that too, based on the Vedas.
That's what my sources have told me, sir.
Wilson...l believe you're up for promotion.
And if my sources are right, be prepared for a transfer.
Sir...monkeys cannot make machines.
At least not without metal.
Sir__!
Let me see how will the plane fly...?
No one will sell metal to us.
No shopkeeper or any junk-seller.
A monkey can stop jumping around..
...but the British will never stop interfering.
How will I build the wings now?
With my.. - Let's use wood?
Who are you writing to? Your mother?
Why don't you ever post it?
I told you 'Wood'.
Don't worn/.
I'll post it when the time's right.
Whenever I talk to him..
...it feels like I am talking to a mirror.
Me as well...
I couldn't say anything either.
Come on, we'll make the wings out of wood.
We made it of wood the last time.
But it broke under the weight.
What do I do with the king's money?
The British never learn, so we won't either.
No one will sell metal to you..
...but, they will cenainly tender you coins.
Coins?
Sir, it's considered sacred. Melting it would be a sin. - I know.
I will be the sinner.
Make it in this shape.
It'll be done!
Father...
Give the young man first. - No, no.
Sir, guests are like God.
If you don't eat, then I'll be the sinner for sure.
Go on.
I'll eat. But first...do you go to school?
She's in class 2.
What's your name? - Sitara.
Recite the bird poem for him.
Collecting little by little. She delicately makes her nest.
Smiles through winters, summers and rains.
Smiles in even] test.
Sitara Devi...l finished building it.
It's ready.
When I pour gasoline... the engine will stan to roar.
And this thing will churn around, cutting through the wind.
And due the air pressure, the air-plane..
...will fly up in the air.
Even/one shall applaud.
But I didn't come here to tell you that?
I came here to say that... I feel scared.
Venj scared.
This time when you come back I won't let you leave.
Can't you come back?
Come back!
What are you wearing, Mr. Shastn/.
Wear this green coat today.
No.
I'll wear that the day I'll take-off in the air-plane.
Or the day I fly off myself.
This one's fine for today.
Come on.
What happened?
Will it fly high enough so that..
...Sitara can watch it from anywhere?
Hey...You said so.
At 10:22...the sunrays will make a 48 degree triangle.
...and the gasoline will boil in the engine.
The air-plane will fly...at exactly 10:22.
On that note...say cheese!
Glow to.. - Tilakl
Glow to.. - Mother India!
Tilakl - Yes.
I heard an air-plane's going to fly here.
Did you see it?
Hope it didn't take-off yet?
You're here to see our air-plane?
No...to witness the first flight of freedom.
Sir, why do you think the Viceroy called us here?
I'm venj sure it's about those two Indians.
I warned you about them.
Good morning, your highness.
Still biter.. - Do you know why, Governor?
India is a poor land of uneducated tribal's..
...and snake charmers and Sadhus.
In colonizing, it is we..
...who have done them a favor.
It's taken us years to paint that image in the west.
And if a news like this gets out now..
...that image will be shattered.
It seems to me, that right under your bloody noses...
...these Indians have been building..
...some kind of flying machine.
And what have you been doing?
Snoring.
Captain, put him behind bars immediately.
And what? Make him into a national hero?
You need to be clever, but I want that book.
I want my tea to taste sweet.
Give me the number six spanner.
Kaka, the number six spanner.
Shastnj Ji, I can handle this simple machine.
But you take charge of that complex one.
I wonder what he's doing.
Sitara! Sitara!
Shivy! Two tickets for Kolkata.
Tagore's called for us.
He wants to honor us.
Shivy...tell me something.
Are you sure...it was her.
Fine... Narayan, are you finished yet?
Hurnj up... We've to go find an aunt for your uncle.
For the wedding you'll need money, sir.
Two rupees...is that what they are paying for..
The Star Inventor!
A National Hero, is it?
What do you say to 5000 rupees..
...with a single stroke ofthe pen.
I need the book.
And I think...right now you need something to eat.
Samosa!
Too hot.
Hot means steaming hot...or hot means spicy.
Miser Englishmen.
They make a single word do the work of two!
But thankfully, we've two words.
You choose one, yes or no!
Mr. Shastn/, 6000 is the absolute limit I can offer you.
The most I can offer you is this.
'Jalebi'.
I will take it, but the Viceroy won't take no for an answer.
OthenNise...He'll make your life the way you like it.
Hot and spicy.
Good day to you, Mr. Shastn/.
Good day, sir.
Shivy...a simple machine..
...tightened the noose around their neck.
When we really fly on a plane..
...then they will..
Freak out in their rants and leak out in their pants!
Don't let this chance go by.
Or you will be fixing machines all your life like me.
Run!
Where's Sitara?
One star sets and the other rises.
That's the tradition here.
Where's Sitara?
It's easier to find the address of clouds.
A par1icularlane...or an area maybe.
But dance girls are difficult to find.
Where's Sitara?
The day she stopped performing... we bid her farewell.
Come on, Champa. Your entn/.
6/17...Patil Chowk. Dadar
"I offer my life to you."
"I don't know anything else as a prayer?"
"O na'I've hear1...what's befallen you?"
Haven't got rid ofthe habit of climbing through windows?
You never made a relation that allowed me through the door.
Why did you leave?
You had fallen in love with me.
Wanted to mam] me.
And you?
It may be easier to bind water.
But dance girls don't get married...
So why did you come back that day?
That wasn't the first day...you just spotted me that day.
I noticed you many times..
...in the market with Shastnj ji.
I even stood under your window. - Why didn't you come up?
I couldn't climb up pipes, like you,
Maybe dance girls don't, but cotton-cleaners do get married.
Mam] him.
I am not beautiful anymore.
You never were.
Mam] him.
I no longer have the same grace, or attitude.
Mam] him.
I am neck-deep in debt. - Mam] him.
You built an air-plane. - Mam] him.
The first one in the world. - Mam] him.
Your pictures get published in the papers.
I will leave even/thing. Mam] me.
Sitaraji...
Sitara!
Can I get some more time?
I've run out of pages of my ledger..
...but you don't seem to run out oftime to repay my debt.
You say you don't have money.
And here you are.. - Brother..
Hands to yourself. - Old flame?
I am not new to her either.
Didn't you tell him?
Unpaid rent for three years.
Food, clothing...etcetera.
Women are expensive to maintain.
Yeah.
Fine. You don't have money, right?
So...how about doing me some favor too.
Hey.. Just tell me the figures.
4,332 rupees is the principal.
You can add up the interest on your own!
It happens.
It often happens.
And then...l am not different enough to escape this fate.
I had to trust someone.
Don't be sad.
I didn't feel offended.
I am also human after all.
Shedding tears are normal.
So much money...
Where?
Shivy?
Naru, where's Shashtri ji?
He left in the morning wearing his green English coat.
I thought.
'I will wear this the day I take off in the air-plane.'
'Or the day...l fly myself.'
Kaka!
Shastnj ji?
My friend, my guru, my teacher..
He believed in me when Even I didn't believe in myself.
And do you know what I did?
I shattered his faith.
I stole his book which was dearer to him than his life.
And killed a man...
...who gave me my identity.
I am a murderer.
Kaka.
Why did you come here?
Don't you know I am a thief?
Go. Go home now!
You did it for me, Shivy.
I am the murderer, not you.
What did you bring? - Nothing.
What's written on that paper?
That your uncle is a murderer.
I brought offerings for you.
And that will happen..
...only when you fulfill Shastnj ji's dreams.
Shastnj Ji said, "Never leave your uncle,
Don't ever leave him".
"Am I your Shivy, right?"
'I need you.'
Shivy, you will have to build the airplane.
For me...for yourself.
For Shastnj ji.
'At any cost, you will have to do this.'
Tell your uncle, on 7th November at 9:24 am..
...the winds will blow from the sea.
The airplane shall fly.
And this is my third condition.
"From the hunter's clutches..."
"Beyond the cage and its crutches"
"From the hunter's clutches..."
"Beyond the cage and its crutches"
"He'll flap his wings and soar into the sky."
"Across the clouds, and fast like the lightening, it will go high"
"The swan will fly away alone..."
'The day it's your turn to fly, this coin will definitely fly alone.'
"Sharpen your all your weapons."
"We'll live our dreams too."
"We'll shape it with hard work."
"We'll live our dreams too."
"We'll shape it with hard work."
"You're one in a million."
"The swan will fly away alone..."
I am sure it's not gasoline.
Out of money and no clue ofthe fuel.
Whether I make this airplane or not..
...But I will definitely make a new record for failing.
Are you asleep?
With your glasses on?
Dreams seem clearer.
What are you thinking?
Building a toy is one thing..
...but building a real airplane is different.
And making it fly.
What?
I mean...a person will sit in it.
So the weight will be double.
How can gasoline make it fly?
A mouse can run on peanuts, but not an elephant.
So...how will this fly?
You don't know.
But there must be someone.
...who knows what fuel will this plane use?
You're correct.
Shastnj ji often used to mention a name..
Charu Saraswati!
Charu Ji.
If you want fuel, then you'll have to answer my five questions..
...in the opposite way.
Not wrong, but opposite.
If you answer any question correctly, I will leave.
First question?
What's essential for humans to sun/ive?
Air or water?
Hope.
What huns the most?
Lies or humiliation?
Disloyalty.
What is more frightful?
Death or poveny?
Failure!
Your fifth question is?
No, it's the founh, not fifth?
You lost? - How?
You gave the right answer.
This is cheating. Absolutely unfair.
Mr. Shastnj respected you, and.. - You? Shivy?
Shivy?
Shastnj had told me that you will definitely come.
He said you will unravel the mysteries that he couldn't.
I could never understand.
Whether he loved you or believed in you more.
Are you his son?
Yes.
A useless son of a talented father.
Even I don't know the solutions, son.
The scriptures only have questions, not answers.
The answers lie within us.
It flows...but it's not water.
It shines...but it's not silver.
4121...the fuel.
Go...fly your airplane!
Fly your airplane!
Go. Fly your airplane!
Fly your airplane!
Go.
Kaka. Sitara Devi.
Happy Dussera. - Happy Dussera.
So poor Ravan's been killed.
Your Kaka doesn't know..
...that Ravan is slain, not killed.
Naru, hand me that hammer.
No hammer, just gold.
Happy Dussera.
It looks amazing, Kaka.
Our airplane will look like this.
Your Sitara Devi doesn't know..
...one needs lots of gold to build an airplane.
The real one, not fake.
You stole it?
Sitara Devi, doesn't your Shivy know..
...taking something from your own house, isn't stealing.
L'll knock some sense into you.
Shastnj Ji's airplane won't be built with filthy money.
Then how will we build it, Kaka?
Using some old pans... and some old acquaintances!
Hello. I am Shivkar Talpade.
Go on. - And I am Narayan Talpade.
We're about to build the world's first airplane..
...and humans can fly in it.
We politely request you to lend us all the help you can.
Come on. - Oh yeah!
Airplane. - Yeah.
Humans will fly! - Yes.
Go find someone else.
Hello..
I am Shivkar Talpade. - And I am Narayan Talpade.
We're about to build the world's first airplane and humans can fly in it.
Hello..
I am Shivkar Talpade.
Hello.. I am Shivkar Talpade.
Wait..
- Aunty..
Tn/ing to cast a new spell or what?
I havejust a few days till 7th.
It's now...or never.
What's so special with 7th November?
Shastnj ji's experience and knowledge.
The day...the time...high-tide, low-tide..
Speed of air, moisture...
It's not that easy to understand all that.
For that, one needs to understand the universe.
And Shastnj ji was an expen at that.
Not me!
Building an airplane is not my cup of tea.
I don't know whether it is or not?
But I've heard that a man in love..
...often does things beyond his limits.
Don't expect anything anymore.
Neither money or nor praise.
Your airplane's has pricked the eyes ofthe British.
Come on, your highness, the tiger's waiting.
Just a minute, sir.
I am an enslaved king of an enslaved countn/.
I've to hunt down the tigers of my own jungle..
...only for the sake of their happiness.
Not sure if histonj will forgive me...
...but you please find the head to forgive me.
Best of luck!
"Bless me with your grace."
"You're my benefactor on this journey."
"You can turn stones into diamonds."
Won't fly.
Our airplane will never fly.
Let's do one thing.
Let's pick a chit.
Shastnj ji was right.
Our fate's gone out for a stroll.
Leave it. It will be the opposite of what is written here.
Shivy!
It will fly!
Which means I chose 'It won't fly'.
Our airplane will never fly.
It Will.
My dear friend, since you build your airplane..
...You forgot all about your old friends.
And I heard that...you're building a big airplane.
No, Khan Sahib. I tried my best.
And now I've run out of all my money and my courage.
What are you saying?
Then you will have to come home with me.
My 6 year old son keeps telling his school friends..
...that his father used to play in the band with Shivkar Talpade.
You're his hero.
And I don't have the courage to tell him..
...that his hero's lost all his courage.
You only tell him if you can.
You don't know, but..
...you're the only free Indian ofthis enslaved countn/. Only one.
You're the one who gives us courage, hope.
Of an independent tomorrow.
You will have to fly. For us.
For the workers that toil in the mills.
The labors that build bridges.
For the arms that pull the rickshaw.
For we lndians...you will have to fly.
How, Khan Sir? This is all I have.
Will the airplane fly with this? - It will.
Your airplane will definitely fly.
Look.
The entire neighbourhood saved this...for Haj.
Go fly your airplane.
We'll consider our Haj done.
And if that's not enough, then take this too.
We poor people have a big head.
Will you fly your airplane now? - Of course he will.
Want to bet 50 paise on it?
Atleast now raise your standard to a rupee bet.
"Your prayers..."
"l bowed, I kneeled...l even prayed secretly."
"I stopped and prayed."
"l knelt and prayed."
"The nomad in me has surrendered to you..."
"No sense of dying."
"No sense of dying...nor of living."
"The nomad in me has surrendered to you..."
"With hope can/ed on my tools..."
"I have put pans of my dreams onto it..."
"This simple wood needs to travel the world..."
"This simple wood needs" to travel the world...
"Now these wings cannot be stopped."
"The swan will fly away alone..."
Accounts! Accounts! Accounts!
I need to finish these accounts today.
Gokhle. Where's Gokhle?
Gokhle.
Godbole..
Narayan!
What's this?
Look, Narayan...no airplane can fly without fuel.
Your uncle is crazy.
And you're even crazier to believe him.
You might be crazy.
My uncle is not crazy.
He's not! My uncle is not crazy.
Narayan!
Forget it, Mohan.
He's just a kid.
No, father.
You can live without your son..
But not me.
I can't live without him.
You want promotion, don't you?
Promotion?
I have a piece of information.
Naru...l know what's 4121..
True
F for four F for fodder.
1 plus 2 makes 12. An animal with 12 horns.
When the animal would eat this fodder, he will poop put the fuel.
Kaka, even/thing's a joke for you.
Narayan, no matter what you do in life..
Be a Doctor, Lawyer..
...Collector...anything.
But don't ever on].
You know why?
Cn/ing doesn't change anything.
Look at me. The teacher chucked me out..
...and I left with a smile.
I found Sitara...and I smiled.
Father threw me out ofthe house, and I still smiled.
Shastnj ji said "Let's fly"..
...and I still smiled.
I even built an airplane. Smiled.
There was just one time I didn't smile.
When Shastnj ji passed away.
I cried.
But...did that change a thing?
That's why I say...smile!
Laugh aloud.. - Uncle..
Laugh!
Uncle.. - Come.
But Kaka, fuel? - We'll figure something out.
Uncle, we have just two days.
Come on.
Children, this is our Solar Sysem.
What is it called? - Solar System.
Venj good.
In the centre we have the Sun.
And the first planet... is called Mercun/, which is..
Different names in Physics and Chemistn/.
Physics and Chemistn/?
Who's this learned chap?
Me Shivkar Govind Talpade.
An old scholar of your class. - So...it's you.
So the plane flew?
Class 4...8 times fail.
He'll fly an airplane... build a flying ship.
Young man, if you're that smart.
...then why don't you explain this to the kids?
Come.
Here.
Mercun/.
'Buddh' in Physics and, in Chemistn/.. - Uncle.
You see 4121 even/where.
Naru...this isn't 4121 it's..
Oh yes, Para (Mercun/) in hindi looks like 4121.
We just needed to add on top line.
We found the fuel.
Kaka, it shines.. - But it's not silver.
It flows.. - But not water.
The mixture of metal and chemical, mercun/.
Will our airplane fly now? - Of course.
No it won't. Don't move.
But why? - You're under arrest.
Kaka..
Don't worn/...the airplane will fly.
You will find mercunj in the thermometer.
Thermometer.
I heard, but I couldn't believe it.
What?
That someone flew an airplane..
...or that your useless son flew an airplane.
Although it's late, but I still came to congratulate you.
Govind Shambhu Talpade.
Do you know why I made it this far?
Because of you.
For I am like you.
Headstrong!
Would you like to say something in your defense?
Your Honor, there's just one thing..
...I want to say to your Britishers.
Thank you.
Thank you for arresting me.
Thank you for bringing me here.
And thank you for filing this case against me.
Because if you hadn't done this..
...I wouldn't have reached out to my people.
Thank you...for bringing me close...
...to my people.
Flying an airplane seemed like a fain/tale.
I had lost all hope.
But today, after seeing all these people..
...l've made up my mind.
Humans will fly.
So thank you...for mending my broken courage.
Friends, there's just one thing I want to say to you.
These Britishers can steal our slumber..
...but not our dreams.
When I fly my airplane, and..
...you will hearjust one voice in the engine's rattle.
Vande Mataram!
Sir...l am no freedom fighter.
But...for giving me the oppor1unity..
...to say Vande Mataram in front of all my people..
Thank you!
Vande Mataram!
Friend...our paths maybe separate, but our destination is the same.
Freedom.
Tomorrow, even/one will hear just one voice in engine's rattle.
.We-re free.'
Vande Mataram!
Tonight's the last night, tomorrow the final goodbye.
Without me?
It's suicide.
I don't know how to stop, turn or land.
It's an unsolvable maze.
So why don't you just jump down?
Death in any case.
I am already burdened for murdering Mr. Shastn/.
Don't want to be responsible for yours.
You fulfilled my third condition..
...and now you don't want your reward?
I know you want me to come with you.
No, I don't want you to come.
You want it. - No.
If you didn't...then why would you put two chairs in it?
Because...l.. - Yes..
Speak up.
No reason!
Kaka...say cheese!
Hey our Newton.
Will that Chatterjee from the police station..
...come down to click our picture?
It's automatic, uncle. - How?
Well, I've put in a small piece of cotton in the camera.
And poured two drops of water.
As soon as the cotton gets wet, it will go heavier..
...the button will get pressed automatically.
And take our picture.
Look ahead.
Kaka, what's inside? - Letters, for my mother.
Tomorrow, at 9:24 am your Kaka will fly away.
Don't stay asleep.
Narayan...your father's furious, hurnj up.
Mother, I'll be there, you go. - Come on.
Sister-in-law.
Are you really going tomorrow?
You will never come back?
Good for you.
At least you will be free.
Don't worn] about Narayan.
L'll appoint a tutor for him.
I'll take care of mother, father...
You just go.
Choose one.
Come on choose.
Stupid!
You lost again.
Don't lose tomorrow, Shivy.
Don't lose tomorrow.
Make India proud!
'I will wear this the day...l take off in an airplane.'
"With a bag full of memories..."
"And a trunk stuffed with love..."
"Turned the key, seatbelts fastened..."
"Time to go kiss the moon."
"The swan will fly away alone.."
Go.
Go quietly.
Where are you going so early in the morning?
I told you not to. - But, father..
You won't listen, will you?
You won't listen...
Dawn comes even/day..
...but airplanes don't fly even] day.
You will definitely go watch the airplane fly today, Narayan.
Go.
Let go!
We shall salute you rather.
My dear friend, before you become the world's first flying man.
Won't you give me an autograph?
Memorabilia!
Sir. Sir!
Shiv's escaped. He's escaped from jail.
Are you sure? - Yes, sir.
He's escaped, sir. He's escaped.
It will end the way...it all staned.
In the middle ofthe clouds.
Hold me tight, don't be shy.
Do you remember your lines?
I am love with you, Shakuntala.
Let's go far away.
