Script
Bharat is relaxing in his bedroom early morning he visualizing a dream again as usual and becomes restless. In his dream he could hear his brothers speaking to eachother…….
Raj – “Maniya kaat de sale ko.. !!!”
Maniya – ‘Bhaiya gale se kaatu ki pait me dalu ?? Aaisa karta hu sale ka gale he kaat deta hu…..aawaz bhi nahi nikalegi saleki.. !!!’
And then they both burst out laughing loud..
The siuation is very terrific, as Bharat feels insecured ; he is sensing that his brothers are revengeful and greedy. He knows that after his father’s death when the lawyer said that his father has made him the nominee for all the property that they hold and have not left anything on those brother’s name they have become revengeful.
During all these mishaps Bharat is becoming insane; the thought of his brother planning to kill him is driving him crazy and slowly and steadily he is becoming insane.
And as soon as he opens his eyes he could see Maya, right in front of his eyes.
Bharat – ‘Maya !! Maya!! Tum kaha chali gayi thi?? Mein tumhara kab se intazaar kar raha tha!! Maya mujhe bahut daar lag raha hia Maya, please kuch to bolo please…..’
Maya – (Questioning)Tumhe yeh kya ho gaya
(Then with a mild sound) Bharat vo tumhare bhai hai, vo tumse bahut pyaar karte hai !!
Ve tumhare hai, tum yeh kab samajoge….ab shaat ho jayaoo Bharat….dekho vo aa rahe hai……..
Bharat turns around to see them and suddenly Maya vanishes…
Till then his brother walks in the dinning room to take break fast…it is early morning and both his brother are rushing for work……
Maniya – (Calling out) Bhaiya, Bharat bhaiya…kaha ho ?? Chalo breatfast kar lo bhaiya….
Till that juncture even Raj the eldest brother walks in the dinning room….
Raj – Maniya chalo breakfast karte hai……Bharat kaha hai..?? Aur vo kaisa hai ??
Bharat Also comes at the dinning table and sits besides them for breakfast…though he is having his breakfast still his mind is busy comtemplating the same dream that he keeps on visualizing every second hours about brothers wanting to kill him, he is still restless….at the same time…
Maniya – Bharat bhaiya aap ne apne davaiya to khale na?? Agar nahi kai hai to kalo..
Both the brothers are very concerned about his brother Bharat and his health/…they really don’t know how to make Bharat understand that it doesn’t matter to them who holds the property it is just that they want their brother to be in a good health..
They both leave for office..
Here Bharat missing out taking medicine and he gets he attack…he holds the knife in his hand, and trying to kill himself, he is totally mad and he doesn’t know what to be done….he is becoming crazy and crazy day by day…….these medicines are not at all helping him to get cured……..althought having it regularly..
At the same time he again could see Maya….
Maya – (Calls out loudly) Bharat tum ye kya kar rahe ho ?? Tum yeh kuch maat karo Bharat……tumhari zindagi bahut kimti hai….
Bharat – Nahi Maya, yeh har din thode thode marne se accha hai ki mein ek dum mar jau.
Maya –(Again shouts loud as she doesnt want Bharat to take this step) Nahi Bharat nahi tum rukh jao yeh mat karna…
At the time she is shouting both the brothers enter the house in the evening as always….
Maniya – Bharat Bhaiya (With a pleasing sound) kaha ho dekho meine aap ke liye kya laya hu, ice-cream….kaha ho
Raj - Maniya dekho yehi apne bedroom me hoga…
They both enter the bedroom together where they could see him holding a knife in his hand…
They are shit scared and do not know what to be done….
They have a tiff where they try to take the knife from Bharat….and finally they manage too…
Maniya – Bharat Bhaiya hum aapke bhai hai….hum bhala aapko kyu maarenge…???
Aap ne apni davayiya kahi kya ??
Bharat – (In anger, confusion and restlesssness Just shook his head saying) NO
Maniya gives Bharat Medicines meanwhile the lawyer comes whom Raj had called up to come home
Raj – Arre aayiye aayiye aap ka hi intazaar kar rahe the
Anil – acchanak se mujhe kyu yaad kiya
Raj – Vahi kaam kar ne jo hum papa ke antim sanskar ke din hum baate kar rahe the
Anil – haan vo saare documents to mein apne saath he lekar rehta hu taki ko na dekh…
(Both of them gives a very cruel smile)
Ral – Accha layiye hum ne vo kaam to kar liya hai…ab sirf…………..
(Anil gives documents where Raj takes signature of Bharat ….Bharat signs as he is not in his senses as he already had medicine)
Anil – Chalo mein ab chalta hu, apka kaam ho gaya
Maniya takes Bharat to rest in his bedroom, and he is asleep..
Now both his brothers are sitting on to the sofa………..and here their color changes…
Now their actual conversation starts…
Maniya comes closure to Bharat takes the same knife and the same diagloue goes on as Bharat visualzes…………..
Raj – “Maniya kaat de sale ko.. !!!”
Maniya – ‘Bhaiya gale se kaatu ki pait me dalu ?? Aaisa karta hu sale ka gale he kaat deta hu…..aawaz bhi nahi nikalegi saleki.. !!!’
And then they both burst out laughing loud..
Moral and Message of the story : Corruption starts from home, we all say that corruption is taking its toll on us……and the country, but what do we do……our corruption starts from home, we all are corrupt in some or the other way; so lets join hands together to uproot corruption and keep out country clean…….!!!!
