MIRRORSVI LLE:
Dance! Song! Comedy! Tragedy!
Come one! Come all!
Saala!
They prefer the idiot box to puppets!
What's the play about?
Not a play, good sirs! This is a talel
A fairy tale, see?
Fairy tale?
How boring!
Is it a love story then?
Yes! Yes! Love, murder, fights..
It's all there!
You'll get your money's worth!
No ordinary tale this!
A foreign one!
Written by Lord Shakespeare himself!
Sex? - No! No! Not sex!
People look only for sex these days!
I'm talking about Shakespeare Sahib!
Great writer!
A tale written by him!
Well 'sex is there too'
in small doses
Watch and find out!
Take your places now.
The tale is about to start!
Come, good sirs..
...let's take you to our fairytale land -
This then, is Arshinagar.
Mirrorsvillel
Now don't ask where it is!
It could be anywhere in the world!
'What's in a name?
A rose by any other name
would smell as sweet, right?
The fragrance of Mirrorsville
slum too, remains the same.
The fragrance of Mirrorsville slum
too, remains the same always!
Open drains!
Garbage spilling over!
Have to cover your nose and walk!
But what of that?
All eyes are on Mirrorsville
slum right now
A new yover is coming up, you see.
So all developers
have dreams of...
...razing the slum &
building here then.
And truly, Mirrorsville is a land of dreams!
Each person has a land of mirrors
inside his head!
Ever seen your selves
reected there, good sirs?
No?
You will.
You surely will some day.
Meanwhile, let me introduce you
to the protagonists of this tale'
This is...
...Rawna
Rawnojoy Mitter.
The only son of
the Miners of Mirrorsville.
Tch!
This is not a test of skill!
It's child's play!
So what do you want instead?
To blow off each child's head?
A sharp shooter...
...but not interested in guns!
This young man's only interest is music!
The heroine -
Julie
Zulekha Khan
Beloved daughter
of the Khans of Mirrorsville
But, Good Lord!
What is she up to, this child
from a conservative Muslim home?
And this woman with her...
...is her nurse Fatema
Been looking after her since childhood.
Some looking after, this!
But wait!
There are more players here
2 kings!
Here is King no 1
Name? Bishwanath Mitter
Occupation? Real estate.
Plus...underhand dealings in drugs
Fortune favours the bold!
Sabir Khan
Owner of Khan Constructions Ltd.
King no 2!
Reputed Muslim family.
But his goons too, are involved
in underhand drug deals
Above all, Sabir Khan is the
Both have their sights
fixed on Mirrorsville slum.
Both wish to tear down the slum
& build highrises
At present, the slum-dwellers
are fed up of their constant fights!
Come, listen for yourselves -
Hey Manik! Another round of cha!
Gang wars will start
in about an hour!
Really, it's getting too much!
It's a theatre, not hutments as such.
From morning to night
we have drama!
Careful now!
That's a sharp new blade!
Brawling all morning,
can one keep one's head?
What is it today? - Who can say!
Godforsaken fellows..
...love stepping on each other's toes!
They'll drive us out from here,
God knows!
Both demand cuts!
What the hell, I say!
Just paid off one;
This simply can't go on!
They'll soon be dead and gone!
Knife one another & be done!
Like an the shindy yesterday...
...almost at death's door Sunny lay!
You see that Tayeb Bro?
See how they bully the poor?
Where is it? Who?
Who else but those louts
Sunny & Pappu!
Let's go check it out!
What's going on here?
Ah! You here too?
You & that cheat there
make a fine pair!
Shut up you piece of sh*t!
It's me who's in for it!
80 bucks lost before any sale!
every turn of scale!
Short of cash? I'll be damned!
Now scram!
We have to taste the fruit
before we buy!
I took just one bite.
Awful stuff! So why'
'80 bucks? You bloody cheat!
What precious ower are you,
my sweet?
Go quietly about your business
If not'
If not 'what?
Again!
Who asked you to pitch in, you smut?
- Enough!
Now quiet, everyone!
What do you think you're up to,
son of a gun?
Pick any poor man
and slit his throat for fun?
Come on Tayeb,
don't lose your cool so fast!
Mess with me, buddy'
you breathe your last!
You make my blood boil,
you pieces of slime!
From before our fathers' time
you've run us down...
...without reason or rhyme!
Yet you are mere Mitters,
while we are Khans sublime!
Yes?
Hello?
We're descendants of
Bahadur Shah The Great!
Ah! Now we've got it straight!
Not Shahrukh, nor Salman,
& yet he is a Khan!
Your dad was a refugee,
surname Akhtar!
Half crazy, bleary eyed, a Unani doctor.
How come you suddenly turned Khan?
Who's your real father now?
Are you your Uncle's son?
I swear to God,
your life is over & done!
If life is done, it's done
Be it knife we face, or gun
Come up if you dare
In a trice we'll slice you bare
In a trice we'll end your run!
At night in Mirrorsville
prowl hunters out to kill
No one knows when day will
dawn on Mirrorsvillel
Mirrorsvillel Mirrorsvillel
At night in Mirrorsville
all roads the mist will fill
Who knows when light will break
on Mirrorsville?
Mirrorsvillel Mirrorsvillel
If life is done, it's done
Be it knife we face, or gun
Come up if you dare
In a trice we'll slice you bare
In a trice we'll end your run!
Mirrorsvillel Mirrorsvillel
