Trishna Page #2

Synopsis: Based on Thomas Hardy's classic novel Tess of the D'Urbervilles, 'Trishna' tells the story of one woman whose life is destroyed by a combination of love and circumstances. Set in contemporary Rajasthan, Trishna (Freida Pinto) meets a wealthy young British businessman Jay Singh (Riz Ahmed) who has come to India to work in his father's hotel business. After an accident destroys her father's Jeep, Trishna goes to work for Jay, and they fall in love. But despite their feelings for each other, they cannot escape the conflicting pressures of a rural society which is changing rapidly through industrialisation, urbanisation and, above all, education. Trishna's tragedy is that she is torn between the traditions of her family life and the dreams and ambitions that her education has given her.

How is your dad?

Good

Gomti, Trishna is here

Be happy child

How are you?

I'm not well

It's been 4 or 5 months

I'm in so much pain

My whole body hurts,

I can't even stand up

Your aunt needs food, you're late

Yes almost done

Trishna, someone's here for you

What?

There's someone to see you

Sir, may I take five minutes?

Ok

Let's start with the pizzicato

Can you play the track a little lower?

Lower?

Lower the track in the headphones

I am devoted to you my love

Your beauty makes me love you

I'm devoted to you my love

You mean like this

With you by my side, my love

You turn the night into day

You've captured my heart

You've cast a spell on me

You make me blossom

like a jasmine flower

I want to be with you forever

The world is beautiful when I am with you

I am devoted to you

I want to be with you forever

Your love sets me on fire

When we're together I have no rest

You light up my desire

Hi. Avit

Trishna

You dance really well

I'm a dance coordinator

I help organize the classes

and the dancers for shoots

That sort of thing

Not for me thanks

How long have you been here?

In Bombay?

Is she a friend of yours?

Yes she is

You didn't even introduce me

You didn't give us a chance to

I was just giving her some advice

How much are the bananas?

Thirty rupees

Thirty?

Do you think you will have to pay

a high price for your mistakes?

How are you?

It's been ages

You haven't called or anything

Sorry

So tell me

What's happened?

Nothing, I've just been at home

Have you heard from jay?

He hasn't called?

No news at all?

From the ten husbands in this competition

The one who is strongest will survive

Hello?

I'm sorry

I was assuming this flat would be vacant

The lease is up

So you have to vacate the flat

When?

This weekend?

Is it ok if I have a quick look around?

Yes go ahead

Good morning, are you hungry?

Yes

I'll get you some breakfast

- Aggie!

- Yes?

Come on

Can I take your number?

So this is what a shoot looks like

Wow, look at all those lights!

Yes, it's very different to rehearsals

This is playback from 'a' camera

They're good dancers

You think so?

Thousands have been destroyed!

So many hunted!

All the boys are keen to impress

An endless queue, right and left

They beg for love

Oh there will be tension!

It's good to come to shoots like that

You can make good contacts

People who can help your career

One thing you need to do

is get a cine dancer card

It's very important

I can help you get one

- All dancers have them?

- Yes all dancers

It costs money

Then after that once you start getting work

you can pay off the rest in installments

I don't have that kind of money

Take the 30,000 from me
