Trishna Page #3

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.

Once you start working

you can pay me off

You'll take it?

Promise?

Just put it down

Shall we go inside?

Trishna?

Yes?

Do you know Jay Singh from before?

Yes

Where do you know him from?

From another hotel

Before this you were in Mumbai right?

Which hotel in Mumbai?

I was staying at a friend's house

I see

This is the truth

The truth love has taught me

My love, you showed me

how the world really is

You showed me a place

where the storm never ends

You showed me a world

where the night never ends

You took me to the realm of love

With you by my side,

I left this world behind

Every moment I was filled with fear

Every step I took made me more afraid

My love, you turned my day into night

My love, why did you do this to me?

You showed me a place

where the storm never ends

You showed me a world

where the night never ends

You took me to the realm of love

With you by my side,

I left this world behind

Every moment I was filled with fear

Every step I took made me more afraid

My love, you turned my day into night

My love, why did you do this to me?

Wow, you've got so big!

And a new school uniform

Lakshman, how are you?

Good?

Look Trishna,

there's a new fridge and a new TV

How are you mum?

Pratiksha?

Hey sis it's you

God you've got tall!

Step down, let me see you properly

New school uniform?

I'm back at school

Good. Really good

Dad

How are you?

Where did you go?

Mumbai

Pratiksha

Get me some water

When did she get here?

Just now

This is for you

You can wear this to a wedding

Maybe even your wedding

Nice

This is for you. Try it on

Oh wow! You look like Shahrukh khan

and rani Mukherjee!

Come on let's eat

Lakshman stop fighting

and eat your food!

So where's your husband?

Who?

Everybody knows that I'm living off you

You should be happy

You have a new jeep

Anyone want more?

It's my fantasy - Come and see

Still doing homework?

Haven't you finished yet?

Have you brushed your teeth? Dirty girl

Then pack your schoolbags

Do all your homework

No TV tonight

Study well Lakshman

You too devshri

Off you go

Attention

Stand at ease

Get ready for the prayer

Our father

In heaven

Give us today

Our daily bread

And forgive us

Our sins

As we

Forgive those

Who sin

Against us

Do not bring us

To the test

But deliver us

From evil

Get ready for the pledge

India is my country

All Indians

Are my

Brothers and sisters

I shall give my parents

Teachers

And all elders

Respect

And treat everyone

With courtesy

To my country

And my people

I pledge my devotion

In their well-Being

And prosperity

Alone lies

My happiness
