Bandish Bandits (2020) s01e08 Episode Script

1
You're such a fraud.
What is this?
This is the moment
when I fell in love with you.
And now you're not
even answering my calls.
So I am consoling myself
watching this video.
I even remember the
background vocals now.
I am sorry, Radhe.
I am really sorry.
I didn't want to meet you until
I could say congratulations.
I actually mean it.
I don't want to be petty.
I don't want to feel this way, but
This is a huge opportunity for you.
- And you deserve this.
- Tamanna
I am not going to sing with Queen Eli.
Don't
Don't turn this down because of me.
This will solve all
your money problems.
I'll find another way to make money.
Tamanna, it wasn't
my dream to sing with her.
And honestly
it shouldn't be yours either.
Tamanna, you're a big star.
You don't have to
be anyone's 'sidekick'.
Now stop wallowing
and making sexy faces.
And let's make another amazing song.
Come on.
Radhe, listen
Thank you.
For trying to cheer me up.
But it's all over now.
Don't go, Radhe.
He cannot scare us, mother.
He wants to provoke us.
- And if you go
- Mother
If I don't go,
it will make us look weak.
See you.
I know I am repeating myself,
but tonight is very special for me.
Thanks so much for
accepting my invitation.
Pleasure is all mine.
I just hope all this
is worth your time.
Jodhpur finally has a music school.
I
Radhe.
Welcome.
I am really glad to see you here.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Why wouldn't I?
I would have been heartbroken
if you hadn't shown up.
Please enjoy the show.
I'll get an earful from Panditji.
Sit.
What is the condition
of Panditji's ear?
It's only getting worse.
Did you take him to the hospital?
My music-loving friends.
I welcome everyone from the bottom
of my heart to this beautiful evening.
The music we'll be presenting today
is pure and untainted.
This music
belongs to my grandfather
Pandit Kedarnath Rathod's family.
The Bikaner Family.
Last few years this music was lost.
But now we've decided
to spread this music all
over the world in it's purest form.
This evening is special
for another reason.
The upcoming star of our family
is present among us.
I feel proud to introduce him
My nephew
Radhe Singh Rathod.
Radhe, I request you to
sing a rendition from
our family for everyone.
Radhe Rathod, friends.
I thank you for introducing
me with such sweet words.
But
there was one
small misinterpretation.
I am not from the Bikaner Family.
My music is from the Rathod Family
And so I would like to present a 'Thumri'
(Classical) from the Rathod family.
Your Highness, with your permission.
Mr. Yadav, we've managed
to arrange 3.1 million rupees.
What do we do with it?
What else, sir?
Accept this money
and give us a little more
time to arrange for the rest.
Just a little longer.
How shameless.
You've already wasted so much
time of this bank, Mr. Rajender
during which the entire
staff has changed. Take a look.
Change is a rule of nature, Mr. Yadav.
Then here's what you can do.
Take this cheque and leave.
And come back when
you have the entire money.
And remember that he
doesn't waste our time again.
Sir, we managed to arrange
3.1 million in just two months.
Sir, just give us another month.
And we'll arrange for
the remaining 1.9 million.
You see, son. I've seen
through your family's promises.
Listen carefully.
I am giving you a week.
Come back if you can arrange
for the remaining amount in a week
or else be prepared
to vacate your manor.
Here you go.
Now can we get back to our work, Mr.
Rajender?
Papa
Please listen to me.
- Maybe we can
- Listen.
Forgive me.
I'll tell Panditji everything.
No, papa. Panditji
We'll think of something.
I'll sell you patent.
But you pay me two million now.
Yes, no problem!
Anything for Aude.
Are you serious?
You're going to steal his identity?
You're exaggerating, darling
It's just an instrument
You're disgusting!
It's his life's work.
And you don't feel that us whites
have already robbed them of enough?
What are you talking about?
We're not even white.
Your grandmother was half Vietnamese,
and I'm half Moroccan!
That's beside the point!
Are you stupid or what?
You can't even think
beyond the literal.
But me, I don't stamp
on the downtrodden!
It's always been like this - we come,
we take, we come, we take
but enough now!
We don't take your patent. We don't
buy your identity! This is yours.
I sell! You buy. What is the problem?
Devlin yours now.
We're not buying it, that's final!
No, you buy it!
I need money. 20 lakh, you pay me now!
Please
Devlin yours now.
First I think Devlin me.
But my identity
Uncle.
Brother.
Family man
Please keep.
I teach you how to play.
Now you can do your work.
Mr. Bhola.
Please come.
I don't want to meet him.
But he says it's important.
Just hear him out.
Fuck, Arghya.
You've to think of new and
innovative ways of thanking me
because I had to lick their
asses till my tongue went sore.
But I did it again
I've got you another
shot at Queen Eli.
What the fuck are you saying?
- Hey, fuck off!
- I love you! Oh my God!
Radhe!
Oh my, God.
How the fuck did you pull it off?
Because I am a genius.
So the plan is we're going to have a
massive concert in Mumbai next month.
We're going to fly
queen Eli's Music agent.
After that its all up to you.
You just have to blow
his fucking mind. Okay.
That's great news.
And Tamanna is a fantastic performer.
You can blow anyone's mind.
Look at me.
I never even liked pop music.
But she changed my world.
But there is a small catch.
You'll have to sing live.
Without playback.
But why?
They already know what
a great performer you are.
And now they want to see
what a great singer you are.
So basically, this is not
an opportunity but an insult.
Come on, Tamanna, be reasonable now.
They wanted to call
you for an audition
but I convinced them for a concert.
Because I know when
there's a live audience
you'll just kill it, man.
Listen, this is the
best deal I could crack.
I am grateful, Arghya. Honestly.
But if they heard me singing live,
then I have no chance.
No
We have a month to prepare.
You have a great voice.
You can do this.
Okay
My confidence is over, Radhe.
How can I sing in this condition?
Then we'll do it together.
We'll get a live band.
I'll sing in chorus.
You're going to blow Queen
Eli's manager mind with your voice.
We'll work on your intonations.
We will perfect every single
keynote, my guarantee.
One cycle in slow tempo
is as good as two in Dhrut.
And in order to sing in Dhrut you
must practice singing in slow tempo.
When you can sing 14 intonations
then you can sing 28 in Dhrut.
Kuldeep.
Twice.
Four
In order to sing live,
there are three important factors.
Control on your breathing.
Body posture.
And the ability to project your voice.
I cannot hear anything.
Project your voice.
Feels like I am selling
vegetables on the street.
Yes, you should practice that too.
In case, the manager doesn't like it
that's what you'll have to do.
You
You are getting worse.
Again.
If you take a pause at
between every intonation
then you'll always run out of breath.
Again.
Closer.
No.
Let me do.
Fail.
Today was so crazy.
It felt like I was performing
for the first time.
Thank you.
No need to thank me
because this was all you.
Now listen, your flight is on Friday.
I'll see you on the
next day at the concert.
You're not coming with me.
Panditji is letting
me off for only one day.
You don't need to worry, it's all set.
The manager will go crazy.
Wouldn't be my first.
You just have to get in the detail
If you keep working hard like this
then you have a chance of winning.
I have already accepted defeat,
Panditji.
What is this? Turn it off.
The music is from your own family.
Good soundcheck, guys.
Now let's have a rocking show, yeah.
Guys, let's go.
Is the masked man in his green room?
No, ma'am, he hasn't arrived yet.
The number you are calling is
switched off. Please call again later.
The number you are calling is
switched off. Please call again later.
Where is Arghya?
Ma'am, he's that way.
Because sir, I am all alone out here
putting out the fire. With just my dick.
The whole audience
is shouting "Masked Man".
I'll handle the crowd.
I'll handle the fucking agent also.
Just deal with Avantika Roy.
15 missed calls and
dozens of messages.
She just needs to
hear from your mouth
that her fucking daughter
is going to be fine tonight.
I'll call
How is it going?
How is my mom connected to all this?
It's just
Tell me, Arghya.
Or I am not going
up on that stage today.
And I don't think you
have to worry about Tamanna
I'll talk to her. She listens to me.
But you'll have to
handle that crazy woman.
Call her
No, no, sir, I can't speak to her.
I don't want to call
What the hell just happened?
Hi!
I know there has
been a bit of a mess up.
You can say that again.
As far as I remember we had a deal.
But I think you've completely forgotten
how extensively I've featured you
in my multiple publications
on various platforms.
Yes, you've been very-very kind.
But believe me,
this wasn't our decision to make.
Is Queen Eli a JP Record artist?
Yes, she is.
She is a JP Record artist.
Which is why I came to you.
Rather than Tips,
Universal, or Saregama
who have a much bigger
presence in this country.
And you promised me
that you'll fulfill my daughter's
dream of singing with Queen Eli.
And instead
you hand away
that dream on a platter
to some boy you
dug up in the desert.
I personally apologize
for the goof up.
And we'll do everything
in our capacity
to make her career
as bright as possible.
No, no, no,
don't give me that corporate bullshit.
That's my daughter
we're talking about.
Make Queen Eli happen.
So then
it was all her.
Tamanna, the agent's already here.
And it doesn't matter how.
Just go out there and
grab him by the balls.
It must be something technical
but I think she'll be on soon.
It's okay.
Oh! There she is
It's been a wonderful ride.
And I want to thank each and every
one of you for your love and support.
But I am really sad
to inform you that
Bandish Bandits is over.
