Bandish Bandits (2020) s01e10 Episode Script

Sangeet Samrat

1
Why did you hide this fact from me?
I didn't want to hide.
But there was nothing to say.
Do you still love him?
Do you think that
have I cheated on you?
That's not the answer
to my question.
Sir, I am sorry, sir.
It won't happen again, sir.
We're sorry, sir.
We will return the money.
- And never
- How much have you gathered so far?
Sir
19,700
What's the rate?
Sir, 25 paise on
you and 3-1 for Radhe.
Here is 20,000
Put it all on me.
And reduce the rate to ten
Otherwise,
you'll go broke paying everyone.
And focus
on your practice.
Papa
Papa, we need you.
Papa, I can understand
what you're going through.
You're still a kid.
Go.
Go.
Papa, we can solve
personal differences later.
Right now we must
think about our family
What family?
A father
who always thought
I was good for nothing.
A brother
whose existence doesn't matter.
You
have you ever given
any respect to your father?
Tell me.
All this was bearable
because I always thought
that Mohini was by my side.
She loves me. Takes care of me.
Respects me.
But
Go away
Leave
Guys we are really
wasting time on bullshit.
Does anyone have any actual idea?
There's this event in
Jodhpur it's very interesting.
It's called Sangeet Samrat.
It's basically Indian
Idol for classical music
but very exotic and posh.
But such obscure regional
events can't be our cover story.
No, ma'am.
This isn't just a regional event.
In fact this year it's getting
a lot of media attraction.
We can get exclusive
inside access.
Because the nephew
is Tamanna's friend Radhe.
Masked man.
I have already thought of a title.
Uncle-Nephew,
wait and watch for the outcome.
In case, you haven't noticed
we are not some tabloid.
Anyway you guys
are clearly not prepared.
I need better ideas by tomorrow
morning for our cover story.
- Okay ma'am.
- Thank you ma'am.
- Have a nice day.
- Have a lovely day ma'am.
Are you okay?
Of course.
That's all in the past, Mom.
In fact, we can get a really
good cover story on Sangeet Samrat.
Don't overlook it because of me.
I think I should get back to work.
Have a good day, ma'am.
Ishwalkar,
can you please come with me?
We've tested four percussion players.
And two Pakhawaj player.
And none of them are
We're running out of time, mother.
We can never do this without father.
Is everyone in your family
taking the oath of silence?
Is your mother helping your practice
or still making you sweep the floors?
Look, buddy, honestly speaking
no one cares a
damn about your fuck up.
Babloo
Do you know what is Sangeet Samrat?
What?
Masked man?
Yes
- Radhe, of course.
- Yes.
Go get my order.
You're still
You're still thinking of Tamanna.
Now you're going to sulk
about your unsuccessful love.
She must be sleeping
around with a dozen guys
Shut up!
You have never achieved
anything in life yourself
but all you do
is give free advice.
Brother
it's piping hot.
Stick it in my ass.
Hi, Kabir.
Please come to Jodhpur, Tamanna
Radhe's screwed
I mean he's in big trouble.
What do you mean?
What's wrong with him?
Something really bad
is happening in his family.
They have stopped
talking to each other.
Practice sessions
have stopped for good.
It's the Sangeet Samrat
Without you, he'll be in big trouble.
Please come down.
Only you can save him now.
Panditji
Rajenderji
Please come in.
Radhe.
Highness is very
keen on this event.
Let's go.
I'll go tell Highness that
we can't take part in this event.
Radhe.
You've worked hard, but
But how?
The event is tomorrow.
The longer we take, the more
embarrassment we'll have to face.
We should hand over this
family to Digvijay ourselves.
Wait.
If Digvijay was worthy
of this family
then I would have passed
it down to him myself.
Rajender
Mohini is not at fault.
Gopinath your daughter
has won my heart by defeating me.
I
I want her
to become the
daughter-in-law of my family.
By getting her married
to my son Rajender.
Well, Panditji
receiving a proposal from
a great artist's family like you
is a matter of honor.
But please forgive me
We don't belong to the same caste
nor are we as wealthy
and prosperous as you are.
On one end you call me Panditji,
and on the other
you're punishing
me for being a Kshatriya.
No Panditji, pardon me
And as for wealth
It's useless if it can't
come to the aide of our people.
I know you're going
through a bad phase.
I even heard that you've been
served a notice to vacate this home.
Your ancestral home where
your daughter was born
her mother took her last breath
Leaving all this behind
and moving into a rented home
The very thought of it upsets me.
I can help you out of you want.
Greetings, Panditji.
The father of Queen
of Music in my home.
Welcome.
You are embarrassing me.
Please
Yes
So
They love each other, Panditji.
Mohini just told me.
And Digvijay is your older son.
So if you can
let Mohini marry
him instead of Rajender
I must admit you're very brave
You told your father
about your feelings
and also challenged
your lover's guru.
I encouraged her, Panditji.
When I heard her sing, I knew
that she should be compared
to the best of singers.
With your blessings
then Mohini shall make
this family proud as my wife.
My blessings are with you two.
But there is a difficulty,
Gopinath.
I cannot help you save your house.
The money I was going to give you
belonged to my
other wife Gayatri's.
And it can only be given
to her son Rajender and his wife.
I am just a keeper of this wealth.
Love cannot be
compared with money
but the decision
lies in your hands now.
If Digvijay and
Mohini got married
then I could've never
stopped her from singing.
And I would have
regretted all my life
that she sings better than me.
Rajender, Mohini has
always fulfilled
her duties as your wife.
She never told you anything
so that you don't
hate your father.
I snatched her music from her
and yet she is
struggling to save ours.
Dear
I am not even capable
of apologizing.
I can't forgive myself
for what happened
if you
can forgive this
old man for his jealousy
then please forgive me.
Enough.
Mohini.
Come
have dinner with us.
Please sit, sister-in-law.
An artist's duty is to unite hearts.
I learned that from you.
Our family
is safe in your hands.
Who do you think will win
between your son and grandson.
Please tell us, sir.
Sir, who is going to win
between your son and grandson?
Sir, this time in the event
I would like to request everyone
Will you guys please spread out?
I need the whole area.
This is streaming live.
We're about to begin
the Sangeet Samrat Event.
Today's even will be live
streamed for the first time.
People from all around the
world are going to watch it live.
Those who upload photos and videos on
Facebook and Instagram of this event

I would like to thank His Highness on
behalf of the residents of Jodhpur.
Sir, one photo please.
Their family have been organizing
this event for many years
Please friends, no flash photography
during the on-going event.
And switch your mobiles
to silent mode.
Standby on High Highness. Hold
Standby on High Highness.
Standing-by, Standing-by,
Over, waiting for instructions, over.
Go on to Trumpet.
- All the best!
- Go, go, right now.
- Kill it! Go on to Trumpet.
- Go, go, go
Your Highness, let's go.
I would like to welcome His
Highness on behalf of everyone.
Welcome.
Greetings, Highness.
But in Indian Music,
Guru holds the highest position.
And now with a huge round of
applause, I would like to invite
Pandit Radhemohan Rathore.
I would first like to introduce
our three expert judges.
Pt. Shankar Joshi.
Ustad Zafar Ali Khan.
And Padmashri Jayanti Iyer.
Please give them a
huge round of applause.
Your Highness
with your permission we would
like to begin with our first round.
Thank you.
Our first round,
meaning Instrumental Round.
A unique harmony of
singing and instruments.
So please give a huge round of
applause for Mr. Digvijay Rathore.
It's just show-off.
All these instruments can only
fool the audience, not the judges.
Uncle, did you bring the Devlin.
Yes, it's in the car.
Great. I'll go fetch it.
But
We've practiced on the
Sarangi in the past months
you might end
up ruining everything.
We won't win if we play fair.
We'll have to try something
unique to grab their attention.
Wonderful, Mr. Digvijay.
You presented an already
popular folk tune
in your Bikaneri House style
and with separate instruments.
This was definitely an magnificent
confluence of voice and tune.
Next I would like to invite
on stage Radhe and his family.
A big round of applause for them,
friends.
Bravo, Radhe. Bravo.
You presented such a difficult
tune with so much ease.
The way you sing
is a specialty of the Rathore family
which you have done justice to.
I would like to invite Mr.
Digvijay Rathore
along with Radhe and his family, so
our judges can announce their decision.
Judges, over to you.
It was a wonderful performance.
Rajender, it was a pleasure watching
you perform after all these years.
And Devender,
what was that instrument?
I call it the Audlin.
It's a form of Sarangi
I hope you liked it.
It was interesting
but this competition is
about pure Indian classical music.
And I feel using
the Audlin wasn't right.
And Mr. Digvijay, your voice
and presentation blew me away.
So my vote goes to Pt. Digvijay.
Classical music is
known for its music
and not by the instrument.
If one can play Karnatak
music on a violin
then why can't Audlin
be used in Indian classical music.
My vote goes to Radhe.
Digvijay, I was in awe to see you.
So were the audience.
And in Radhe and his
family's performance
it seemed like voice
and music had united as one.
It's a difficult task for
me to choose a winner of this round.
My heart says one thing,
and my mind says another.
But my vote goes to
Radhe!
So with that the winner of
our first round is Radhe Rathore.
Don't stop clapping.
It's time we moved
on to the second round.
Both the contestants
can make a presentation
in their favorite emotion.
As the winner of our first round,
I am inviting Radhe on stage
to come up and present
his favorite "Emotion".
I will try to present "Thumri"
created by Pt. Radhemohan Rathore
in "Shringaar Rasa".
Radhe.
Bravo, Radhe.
The thumri created by Pt.
Radhemohan Rathore
you presented it in
Shringaar Rasa so well
that you made us all
fall in love with you.
A big round of applause, friends.
Thank you, Radhe.
Now I would like to invite Mr.
Digvijay on stage.
And request him to
make his favorite
presentation in his
favorite emotion or "Rasa".
Come.
Viraah.
Wonderful. Wonderful, Mr. Digvijay.
Your presentation really
mesmerized all of us.
I am inviting both
the contestants on stage
for the results
of the second round.
Now judges, over to you.
Sir
Silence speaks more in
volumes compared to applause
which marks the
greatness of any artist.
We three judges unanimously vote Pt.
Digvijay
the winner of this round.
And with that the winner of the
second round is Mr. Digvijay Rathore.
A big round of applause
for Digvijay Rathore.
Friends, this competition
has taken an interesting turn.
Both the contestants
have won one round each.
Ladies and gentlemen it's a tie.
Now we'll move to
our tie-breaker round.
I mean towards the Jugal-Bandi.
As the winner of the second round,
Mr. Digvijay
you can choose your favorite
Raga and Bandish (Rendition).
And Radhe,
you will try to match with him.
Wow a big round of applause,
friends.
Our new Sangeet Samrat
is Radhe Rathore.
I am not worthy of
being compared to you.
I respect you and your music.
You won the day
but this Gharana belongs to me,
and I shall have it.
I am your uncle.
Take my blessings.
All these musicians deserve
a big round of applause.
They made this evening
a memorable one.
We had heard mentions of
Raag Malhar in old stories..
But today we were fortunate
enough to witness it here
The thundering clouds
I could've never sung
like this if it wasn't for you.
No.
You would've sung
just as brilliantly.
You're absolutely phenomenal, Radhe.
I've fallen in love
with music all over again
thanks to you.
Now nothing can stop
us from singing together.
Bandish Bandits is back.
No.
I am leaving, Radhe.
I have enrolled myself
in a music school.
I am going to start
from the beginning.
No shortcuts, no auto-tune.
I was tired of my mediocrity.
Now I want to be
a real talent like you.
I would like to invite on stage
our esteemed judges
Radhe.
Yes
Wait here, okay.
I'll be right back.
A big round of applause for our
new Sangeet Samrat Radhe Rathore.
