ENGLISH SUB-TITLE (Of the Final Shooting Draft) TANMAY (V.O.) Emotions are more important than words... Everything is incomplete in this universe; But still darkness to brightness is the summary… Love is like a twinkling star in the sky… When it shines, everybody comes to know, In rainy season even though it doesn’t appear… Its there, its existence remains at the same position. Lonely…but in awhile, it again starts shining. May be its shining; in memories of someone. NANDINI (V.O.) The way you sound, it seems like somebody has pulled the strings of my heart, Feet’s shuffle as they want to stand by you, eyes doesn't blink for a fraction as they want to see you forever and ever... but I hide all my emotions from you and my heart wears a mask of hatred... but whatsoever... my Page 49 of 74

Ek Pepsi … Ek Lassi … (FIRST DRAFT)

soul always keep on running around you like a bird ... but ... but in this season ... beneath the shower of love... my heart is shattered and suffering with despair as that bird has lost everything in the forth night disaster. NANDINI (V.O.) I didn't understand the language of love but when I’m lost at words, I break down crying, My world starts spinning around you, I close my eyes and see your face washed away by the salt of my tears. Then I realize a deeper love that I've never known is so precious & pure ... But... knowing ... unknowingly I can't confess and it remains in my heart... TANMAY Uncle what's a time? X # PERSON 7.30 am TANMAY Thank you. TANMAY Excuse me... What’s a time? Y # PERSON 9.00 am TANMAY Thanks. TANMAY

TANMAY Because you’re the beginning and end of me, My existence is not without you. Once I become an international celebrate, I wish to roam around this world with you, only with you... NANDINI Only with me?! … TANMAY Yes. I can't live without you; though it’s an old and bore dialogue but its true... Still in my wallet, I have your photograph...

I see your photograph... NANDINI And when you don't remember me then? ... TANMAY Then ... I see that actress’s photo... NANDINI Tanmay, what kind of films do you like?

NANDINI I want you to be successful in your life; That’s all I wish and I am sure that you will accomplish my dream. TANMAY You too love me, don't you? NANDINI No. TANMAY I really don't like the way you speak in puzzles. I used to get angry on you just because of this. Straight, simple words would never comprise your sentence... is it good?!

Page 62 of 74

Ek Pepsi … Ek Lassi … (FIRST DRAFT)

No. Only I'd never understood you. TANMAY You are very beautiful! I really like you... My friends used to tell me, before falling in love with you I should have seen my face in the mirror so that I would have never dared to fall in love. NANDINI Love at first sight; does it really happen?! TANMAY Yeah. In first sight someone can see only the exterior beauty but can't see the beauty of soul. NANDINI Can we ... Can we stay together as a friend? TANMAY Friend?! No. NANDINI Always you used to listen to your friends, isn't it? TANMAY Yes. NANDINI That’s why I used to get angry on you.

Ek Pepsi … Ek Lassi … (FIRST DRAFT)

TANMAY What would I do? They’re telling me different formulae to impress you, but nothing worked out well and I was the one who was trapped in every formula and you hated me like anything... and the fact is I failed to tell you what I real feel about you. TANMAY My mind and my body were always around your home... Just to see you once. But every time while doing so, your mommy was catching me then I use to be disappeared for a moment... but in a next moment, again... My soul was struggling to see you for one last time... From dusk to dawn, my body was freezes at the same position. ... In search of that one last glance of yours... NANDINI Whole world has been changed... TANMAY Yes but still in that yard... NANDINI In spite of broken toys our soul finds peace; isn't it?! TANMAY You’re thought, your day, your night... My life is all about your memories. NANDINI You love me too much, is it? TANMAY

Page 64 of 74

Ek Pepsi … Ek Lassi … (FIRST DRAFT)

No. NANDINI I respect your love. I do. NANDINI I will talk to Mommy; even my younger brother will be ready but... to speak with my father and elder brother you need to come to my house with your parents. TANMAY Nandini but let me stand on my own feet’s. NANDINI Time is hanging on, Tanmay. How should I tell you? I’m engaged. My marriage will be fixed up at any point of time, How would I be able to give you time? It could happen within two weeks or within two months... If they'll come to know that we've met then... it could happen within two days. How do you expect me to give you six months? Or a year time?! And I can not go against my parents. TANMAY You’re Mommy-Daddy & mine know that how much I love you, to make you happy for every moment I can do anything. NANDINI

Page 65 of 74

Ek Pepsi … Ek Lassi … (FIRST DRAFT)

Yes. But still you speak with my MommyDaddy. TANMAY It’s a very unpredictable field and I won't be able to struggle with you. I left my education in between... just for this career... I don't want to bother you... I can't see you working hard, sacrificing things; I can't see you in pain... But... but still just wait for few days... Just wait for few days, I'll do something... TANMAY Your parents will ask you to get married with any roadside person and you'll be easily agreed? You'll get married with that stranger? NANDINI Yes. Why not?! My parents bought me up. We solely belong to our parents/Guardians; And every guardian's only wish is to get their foes married with the one they choose. And this is all what foes can do for their parents. NANDINI Even if my parents get me married with the roadside stranger they'd do it for my goodness. Parents know their children better than... the children know about themselves.

Ek Pepsi … Ek Lassi … (FIRST DRAFT)

NANDINI I can not make my mommy-daddy upset. And running away from parents and getting married. I can't. Whatever will happen; will happen with our parents wish & their blessings. TANMAY How Shahrukh & Kajol were got married in the film Dilwale Dulhaniya le Jayenge ... Same way we'll get married, do you think in this way? NANDINI How could be you so senseless at the fact? I don't understand?! NANDINI You come once... or even if you send your parents to my house, it will be alright... My mommy will handle everything further... I'll speak with her regarding this. NANDINI I believe that you'll get a very beautiful girl, much better than me. TANMAY You’re the only one I want… You’re the only one I need in my life. NANDINI Concentrate on your career... One day you will accomplish all your dreams.

TANMAY With, with whom you're getting married? NANDINI I don't remember him so well. TANMAY Why? Have you not seen him? Without seeing each other... your engagement ceremony was over?! TANMAY What he does? NANDINI He's a M.R., I mean Pharmacy, and He’d done a B. Pharmacy... Daddy was telling that He owns a Medical Shop... and has a salary around 20,... 22,ooo Rupees. TANMAY Even I'd have done B. Pharmacy If your daddy would have told me earlier … TANMAY Where does he stay? NANDINI Kolhapur. TANMAY I'm very possessive about you... in your childhood, when you use to play... and then if anybody touch you... I use to get hyper even if that was your brother...

Page 68 of 74

Ek Pepsi … Ek Lassi … (FIRST DRAFT)

TANMAY Like... kids protect their things; as they don't allow anyone to touch... as they are madly in love with their belongings... just like that... TANMAY In your life, whoever loves you but... my love... would be always greater by eleven years. TANMAY If your husband troubles you... then I'll bit him. TANMAY I used to write poems on you, 'til date I've written more than 200 poems... the time I see you, I spend sleepless nights... your memories, your beauty, your pain, I tried to bind all emotions in words. TANMAY I'll give you to read... sometime... NANDINI Fine... NANDINI One... One day you'll also get married, then in her love you'll write new poems, new songs, even if the words remain same, the meaning will differ. TANMAY ..You're also making poems! NANDINI

Ek Pepsi … Ek Lassi … (FIRST DRAFT)

Finally ... I'm all yours... NANDINI Mommy must be waiting... I didn't inform her… otherwise we'd have stayed awhile. TANMAY After six years I'm seeing you, before that we never ever spoke to each other with such close distance. NANDINI Sometimes, sometimes it’s too important to express your love... the time when you realize it. Isn’t it?! You remember... the first time that you'd written a letter to me? TANMAY Yes. I'd written that I want to say something but I'll let you know once I pass my SSC Exam... but at that point of time I was in Ninth standard and you're in Seventh... I thought that we'll be 'lil bit matured and by the time I'll have enough courage to propose you... NANDINI But it took eleven years... to say three words. TANMAY Why don't you ever celebrate your B'day? NANDINI

Page 70 of 74

Ek Pepsi … Ek Lassi … (FIRST DRAFT)

The day when I was born my grandmother was ceased. My daddy's mother... So since then my B'day is been never celebrated. TANMAY You don't feel bad? NANDINI Wish: Expectations, Fortunate: Unfortunate... A life could be beyond that?! TANMAY Whenever I'll receive an award for my film, I won’t forget to take your name and say I love you... TANMAY Will you ever forget me? Won’t you remember me after your marriage? TANMAY Nandini, if it's true that Human Beings have seven lifetimes, then... in rest of six lifetimes I won't allow anyone to enter in our love. NANDINI What will you do with my photograph after my marriage? TANMAY Either I'll tear it or put it on fire... TANMAY

Page 71 of 74

Ek Pepsi … Ek Lassi … (FIRST DRAFT)

But in future if anybody asks me who was that girl; who made my life or destroyed? What would I say? Even if I explain about you, how will they understand? NANDINI Tell them that, that girl has traveled so far; now she is moved out of sight; Her image has been faded in my memory, you're unable to recollect... then nobody will ask you... TANMAY But looking at the pages of my life; faded memories of me and you; before the last breathe I take, if I feel like seeing you … then what should I do? NANDINI Leave it all behind, your past and mine; the road keeps on turning and all we can do is travel each day to the next. While taking new breathe, we should not think of last breathe... TANMAY But whatsoever, neither I'm going to tear your photograph nor going to put it on fire... in spite of your permanent image on my mind and soul... one fine day I'll loose on my memory but… still at that point of time your photograph will be with me forever… and ever... NANDINI Everything will be all right, You'll become a great film maker... You'll earn name and fame,

Page 72 of 74

Ek Pepsi … Ek Lassi … (FIRST DRAFT)

You'll get a very beautiful girl; much... much better than me... and who will love you utmost. NANDINI Take care of yourself, and your health. NANDINI Are you not going to escort me till Auto-Rickshaw stand? TANMAY If anybody sees... then, what will they say? Don't you get scared now?! NANDINI No. I don't care what they say... TANMAY In eleven years I'd never touched you... I... love... you... Nandini Opening Sequence: Your eyes are fixed on my soul… Crazy heart is calling for love… How come the ocean of love is rising up…?! Thru’ which, reflection of ours is seeing the sky… This boat is leaving behind the shore… Your eyes are fixed on my soul… Crazy heart is calling for love… How can I forget …?! A look of yours, blended with shyness… Now in my memory … Your false commitments exist… A lover like me…
