Bandish Bandits (2020) s01e04 Episode Script

1
You said we're only
going over for a meeting.
Yes. But they are a decent family.
And their daughter is pretty
talented and sophisticated.
How do you know?
How do you know?
Just by hearing her sing.
It's not just about her voice.
She is disciplined too.
Even though she lived abroad, she
worked on a single song for two years.
This marriage will
only make you responsible.
Yes.
And her money and status
will help us as well, won't it?
Radhe.
If that's your concern
then I promise you we
won't accept a single penny.
I must admit, sister-in-law,
she has a a beautiful voice.
Talk to him.
This time on Makar Sankranti
you will be singing instead of me.
For the first time people other than
this family will hear your voice.
Don't let your focus deviate.
This family is your responsibility.
Look
I know you're angry with
my decision of your marriage.
But I strongly believe
you won't find anyone
better than Sandhya.
What am I going to tell Tamanna?
What else?
Same thing that all girls tell me.
Don't send any more flowers.
Everything that happened
between us was an accident. Forget it.
And later you can show
her your wedding card.
Hey will she sing at your wedding?
Can you stop talking nonsense?
I really like Tamanna.
Tamanna is hit, and she's hot.
She's as cool as
a drink on a warm day.
Everyone likes her.
Dear Jodhpur Romeo,
the real question is does she like you?
But why else would she
kiss me?
Why?
Because she is from Mumbai.
She must have kissed at
least more than a dozen guys.
I don't care. All I know is
there is something between us.
There is confusion.
What happened could be a
hangover of your role-play as well.
Listen, take my advice and
have a DTR conversation with her.
DTR?
DTR means Define The Relationship.
Is this relationship
going in any direction
or is it just going
to stay in a no-man's land?
What are you two?
Girlfriend-boyfriend.
Friends with benefits.
Boss and Employees.
Or fuck! buddies.
Lyrics.
Let's try something
Radhe, Space bar.
Yes.
Yeah
No.
What was I thinking?
This sounds so cheesy.
No, this is good.
This is actually good.
The lyrics are good
and so are the emotions.
And you're singing
straight from your heart.
Radhe, you don't have to be polite.
It's an absurd song.
It sounds like some 90's Bollywood song.
90's were the golden year, weren't they?
"Kuch Na Kaho.
Jaadu Teri Nazar. Pehla Nasha."
"Bahut Pyaar Karte hain Tumko Sanam."
They all sounds very good 30 years ago.
But not any more.
And anyway, Bollywood is
still stuck in the middle ages.
The same old done to death love songs.
One kiss leading to a lifetime
of love and all that shit.
What do you mean to say?
One kiss doesn't mean anything.
Sometimes it does
other times it doesn't.
But the point is we
must keep up with time.
Especially with a genre
as competitive as romance.
What am I saying
I feel like such a fool.
I thought I could see
Love in a unique way, but
But this is just
like that unique love.
Fuck Love.
Fuck this song.
It's not working.
We'll have to think of something else.
Tamanna, let's try to work on this.
We don't have the time, Radhe.
This is not working.
Can I try once?
Give me some time please.
"You're like a golden moment"
"and I am viral hour."
"Yet we're stuck together in this."
"The meme conversations."
"And the video calling nights"
"What is wrong with us."
"Everything feels so nice"
"My heart feels restless."
"How long are we going
to live like this."
Amazing, Radhe.
It had everything.
It had emotions,
and the lyrics are amazing.
I wrote this.
When did you start writing lyrics?
Yesterday.
Sorry, dear.
At ease. At ease.
Some Devender Rathod
is here to meet you.
I heard you're looking for a singer.
I am a singer.
What do you sing?
Although I am trained
in classical singing
but I sing ads and jingles too.
"Cures your Constipation"
"Lakotia Churan."
Get yours at the closest store.
- You sung that.
- And that's not all.
"Brings out every lady's inner beauty
Punita's sarees."
"The best sari Punita Saree."
And Jodhpur Vigilance week too.
You can take an audio test as well.
- No.
- Later?
- I would have loved to
- Money is not an issue.
I will work at half rate.
- That's
- And look at this.
I made this myself.
Devlin.
I will play this for free, only for you.
Because I am a package deal.
Singer and Musician.
I've already finalized a singer.
- If you could hear me sing, then
- I am sorry
It's alright.
At least we had a chance to meet.
- Nice studio.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
The loan installment has been entered.
- But the monthly installments
- You will get the installments, Mr. Yadav.
Yes, sir.
But you won't ever call or text
Mr. Rajender again.
Never, sir.
If there is any concern, you can always
talk to my secretary Mr. Pyarelal.
There is no need for that.
Your word is enough.
And Mr. Rajender is
one of our oldest customers.
He shares an old relation with our bank.
Yes. And you kept the honor
of that relation pretty well.
Sir, can I get something for you?
They are really tasty.
Thanks.
- Sir, can I
- It's okay.
Rajender sir,
please let us serve you again.
Surya.
- I can never forget this favor that you
- This is not a favor.
We are no longer friends,
but part of the same family now.
And family always helps each other.
Radhe is a lovely boy.
Panditji
Surya has lived overseas
and made his name over there.
- He has earned a lot of money.
- It's very good!
I have seen her somewhere.
You think you have
seen every girl somewhere.
But I really have seen her.
Does she come on TV?
How would I know?
Doesn't matter.
You can always ask on you wedding night.
Aunty please join us.
We'll all have dinner together.
I've some work pending in the kitchen.
But please begin.
She is already looking after you,
sister-in-law. Please join us.
Later.
One big happy family, huh?
Son, how is your practice going on?
I wouldn't know.
Ask Panditji.
Well, how can he say
in front of his teacher?
I am really happy to have an
intelligent and mature son like Radhe.
- Sandhya is also our precious one!
- He's praising her so much.
By the way, with everyone's permission
can I take Sandhya to
the Sheetla Mata Carnival tonight?
If Sandhya wants to go, then why not.
Of course.
Wow so nice.
I love puppet shows.
Thank you.
Sandhya
I wanted to say something.
Yes.
Actually you might
find it a little weird.
But, I think you should know the truth.
My family don't want you to know this.
- Are you gay?
- What?
No No!
I am bipolar.
Okay.
I have frequent mood swings.
I am happy one minute, and the next
minute I start throwing things around.
I start crying
I get too emotional.
I believe you shouldn't
be under any delusion, so
Have you tried Zapiz.
- What?
- Zapis? Z A P I Z.
One Zapiz every day and two Marters.
Morning and evening.
And eat bananas every day.
It increases your ceretonin level.
Spinach, of course.
Tastes really bad.
But trust me,
it will be really good for you.
You don't have a problem
that I am bipolar.
Radhe, everyone has a
problem but no one says it.
I really appreciate your honesty.
Don't worry, we'll fight this together.
- Is she Manglik?
- No.
- Nadi Dosa?
- No.
Any other problems, take a look.
No.
Here I can see 35 points matching.
Like Lord Ram and Sita.
Now, let's get to the point.
He doesn't want to marry this girl.
Yes.
So you just give a report
that the birth charts don't match.
The wedding will get canceled
and we will pay you extra.
-This is Girdhar Maharaj's hermitage
-I got it.
And not your college
where someone can fill in.
I am providing you
free internet pack also.
Get out.
Stop this charade,
would you prefer alcohol instead.
I said get out.
- Leave.
- Come on.
Tell your daughter not to call me again.
Get out.
Control your breathing
so you can control your Thumri.
Strong control.
Only when your lungs are filled
your voice will be heard loud and clear.
Without using the mic
the front row audience and the back seat
audience should be able to hear you
without missing a single tune.
And practice Kharaj
Because lower your intonation,
the higher your pitch.
Again.
Lower. Lower.
Lower. Lower.
Higher. Higher.
Slowly let your pitch climb slowly.
Covering every tune
I need a sharp rise.
A sharp rise.
Take a deep breath
and slowly release it on
this flame making it flutter
but doesn't extinguish.
This way you can control your breathing.
No, no, you're doing classical again.
Make it more plain.
No, How many times
do I have to repeat myself?
How many times?
Sing louder.
Why are you screaming?
You have a mic, don't you?
Did I sing something wrong?
The tune was right but
we don't need so much projection.
We don't need it.
Don't be hasty.
Don't be hasty.
You still need a lot of practice.
Radhe.
We just need to trap the
final piece and we have the song.
I really need you to
build this crescendo, okay?
Stop.
Once again.
Try falsetto, okay.
I know it's not allowed
in Indian classical music
- but we really don't have time.
- Tamanna
I cannot sing in falsetto.
- Try once.
- I am trying.
I am practicing more on my high notes.
For my classical song
as well as our song.
We'll do it.
Singing in falsetto
will not lose your dignity.
Do you know who sings in falsetto?
Only those who can't sing
high notes in their voice.
I don't need falsetto.
Falsetto isn't just used
to reach high notes easily.
It's about the texture
of the song, Radhe.
Eddie Vedder does it.
Cold Play does it all the time.
Kishore Kumar, Freddie Mercury.
You think they all use falsetto
because they can't sing in high notes?
It's about the song,
not about the singer's ego.
- How is it ego?
- This is your ego?
Even I suggested you use
Sitar after the second stanza
but you used guitar instead.
Didn't you?
Did I say that it's your ego?
You did it because that was your choice.
So this is my choice.
I am the music composer, Radhe.
So I will decide what goes best.
We are on a strict deadline and
you have to give the song before that.
You just have to sing
in falsetto for a few seconds.
I am being stubborn?
What about you?
Finish the song on a high note.
Why? Change the ending.
This is not some Raga.
It's just a song.
People will hear it on
YouTube and forget all about it
Sorry Tamanna.
No.
Tamanna.
Just a minute. Please.
I am sorry.
I shouldn't have said that.
A lot has happened in my
life in the last couple of days
which I never expected.
When I sing classical with Panditji,
I see your face.
When I sing with you,
Panditji haunts me.
I think all this is too much for me.
And I vented my frustration on you.
Please don't mind.
What happened that night
was very special for me.
Maybe not for you.
Maybe it was just role-playing for you.
It wasn't a big deal for you.
But my life has turned upset down.
I haven't slept for four days.
I wish there was a signal
on the road we're hurrying down
telling me when to stop,
and when to go.
But unfortunately, there isn't one.
I just don't understand,
I am totally confused.
And I want to be with you,
Always around you
but whenever I am around you,
I don't know what to do.
I feel really nice
whenever I am around you.
Sometimes even strange.
But that weird part
I mean it feels nice.
But the weird
I mean you must have
had this feeling too?
- For someone
- Shut up.
This is Mohan Singh Bhatiji and
it's an old store that we always visit.
We're here to buy
a saree for the wedding.
Of course.
- See if you like anything here.
- Okay.
Rahul, show them the new stock.
Go with them.
Please come.
What type of saree
are you looking for?
Something nice and traditional.
What color?
What do you think?
Green or blue?
Anything
I mean I am not that well-versed
Doesn't matter.
I will show you both colors.
Perfect. Thank you.
Sandhya
That I
What secret do you
want to tell me this time?
Are you color blind?
What?
See, Radhe
I very well
know that you are not bipolar.
And I know you don't
want to get married.
Here you go, madam.
You won't find anything
like this all over Jodhpur.
Show us something in orange.
- Orange?
- Orange.
Fine.
I am sorry, Sandhya.
You see Actually
I have a girlfriend.
Okay.
So why don't you marry her?
I wanted to
I still do.
You sang so well
in front of Panditji, that
So why don't you tell
Panditji about this girl?
She is different.
She has blue hair.
And I just got sanctified.
If Panditji finds out
He will take away the
sacred thread from you.
And then you won't be the torchbearer
of the great Rathod family.
Right?
You know, this choice is
not between me and that girl.
It's about your music and that girl.
Here you go madam, orange.
And that girl in Kumkum
Bhagya wore the same color
Orange doesn't look nice.
Show me something in yellow.
- Sandhya, if you can say no
- I cannot say no.
But why?
I can't.
Radhe, I understand
the situation you are in.
But I can't.
Don't you want to get married
to a person that really loves you?
My will doesn't count here.
You can do anything
you want after the wedding.
I won't tell anyone,
I won't ask any questions.
I will just be a good fucking wife.
Here are all the designs
you are looking for.
And sir, here are all
the colors you're looking for.
Nice.
You know what, pack this one.
Okay.
Nice, isn't it?
I am confused.
Even after I told her the truth
how can an educated,
rich, sophisticated
Hot!
Hot girl
be so desperate for the wedding.
Even I feel something is wrong.
Correct. I've been trying
to tell you since day one.
We just have to find.
Every person's secret
is on social media.
Let me search.
Bro she isn't on Facebook,
nor Insta, or Twitter.
What should I do!
This is something bigger.
She is from Belgium.
And not a trace of her.
Thank you.
That was quick.
Tamanna, I hate you.
You rob me clean for every song.
But when you create music like this
you just want me to
make sweet-sweet love to you.
Yeah, you wish old man.
And that Altaf, what a voice.
I mean, if you haven't blown him yet,
I will blow him.
Well, that's already been taken care of.
You horny slut!
Shut up, Arghya.
Listen, JP's approved the video.
And I've got us a massive budget,
It's gonna be huge.
Huge?
Like Kardashian's bum.
It's amazing Arghya.
Listen, I've arranged a
corporate show for you in Jodhpur.
Why Arghya?
I'll send you all the details later.
I've to rush.
Okay, bye, bye.
Okay, I love you. Bye.
Sir. We'll need a camera.
The manor looks beautiful today.
On Makarsankranti, people fly kites
but Panditji likes to squander money.
Today on the occasion
of Makar Sankranti
and with his highness' permission
I would like to introduce
a torchbearer for my family.
All these years the love
and adoration that you gave me
I would expect you all to
give him the same and encourage him.
With that request I would like
to present to you my grandson Radhe.
Wow! Wonderful!
Panditji, please come.
- No.
- Please come.
Sandhya, dear come.
Wow Radhe,
what a mesmerizing performance.
Well, I am assured that
Panditji has found his successor.
Now, with the permission of
both their parents
I am feeling so
happy that my brother
Suryasen's daughter Sandhya
will be marrying Radhe.
Congratulations, Panditji.
