Tubelight Page #2

Wise decision.

Everyone's leaving.

Why can't I go?

Captain, try and understand.

How can I?

You're unfit to enlist.

What do you mean?

Unfit?

Do you think I'm a tubelight too?

No, Captain.

You know that isn't true.

So in what way am I unfit?

You're fine, my Captain.

You're just fine.

Catch me, catch me!

Next!

Narayan Lal Tiwari.

You're rejected.

Impossible.

Right! It's impossible.

What do you mean?

Not selected?

You have knock-knees.

Hindi, please.

Come here.

Stand at attention.

Will everyone pay attention?

See how his knees touch

each other?

No gap between his knees.

See how they touch when he

straightens his legs?

It's called knock-knees.

Four Jagatpur boys have

this condition.

When running your knees could

knock against each other...

...and you'd fall.

So don't make me run!

Armed, I can fight

the enemy sitting.

We do not enlist men with

knock-knees. Please go!

I've run without falling.

Wasting time here while

fighting is going on there.

Next!

Laxman Singh Bisht.

Sorry. Rejected.

How come?

See? There's a gap between

my knees.

Let me explain.

Bharat!

Captain! They'll enlist you.

Don't worry.

Will they?

Yes, Captain.

Some men will go to the front,

others will stay here...

...and protect the country.

You're a Captain, Jagatpur

regiment.

Jagatpur regiment?

Yes!

If the enemy enters Jagatpur,

who will alert the army?

You will of course.

A regiment here?

That's right.

Long live India!

Long live India!

Next!

Bharat, be confident!

Bravo! Next.

Next!

Don't worry, son.

Take care.

Laxman, new boots!

They'll get worn out with all

those parades.

Don't worry, brother.

Come back soon.

I'll get you those new boots.

Soldiers! Time to go!

- Hurry up.

- Let's go.

Even if...

...I stole the sparkle from the stars.

Stole the song from the breeze.

They could not ease the pain

of your absence.

Even if...

...I stole the colour from nature.

Stole blessings from the shrine.

They could not ease the pain

of your absence.

This world is full of strangers.

There's only you for me.

You're the dream that came true.

I will wait for your return.

God forbid something happens

to you...

Without you, loneliness stalks

my every step.

I am the moment that time

passed by.

Holi has no colour...

...without you.

Without you...

...the rainy season is dry.

Even if...

...I stole the rulebook of life.

Stole the cream off the profit.

They could not ease the pain

of your absence.

This world is full of strangers.

There's only you for me.

You're the dream that came true.

I will wait for your return.

God forbid something happens

to you...

Sit down! Settle down, folks!
