A Tribute to The Great Indian Hindi Cinema

For best effect, read this with melodramatic emotions

“माँ मैं पास हो गया”…
“सच बेटा !! आज तेरे पिता का सपना पूरा हो गया”
“माँ आज तुझे बताना पड़ेगा .. मेरा बाप कहाँ है ? कौन है मेरा बाप”
“तू सुनना चाहता है ना.. तो सुन”

And thence the tale of the hindi पिक्चर was told by the बेसहारा माँ
And this is all but an abridged version of the great hindi movie saga -

It all started when Michael informed the boss
“सरकार !! हमारा माल पकड़ा गया “, and that made him cross.
“कौन था वोह?” he asked as he poured whiskey on the rocks
Michael named “Inspector ठाकुर” before being fed to the crocs.
But Boss didn’t want to give इतनी आसान मौत to the dude
He got Thakur fired and starved his family for food

Now Thakur was dying and मुन्नी had a high fever
Thats when our 10 year old hero decided, it was now or never
So he took the जुर्म का रास्ता and stole from the ration store
He couldn’t save his बूढा बाप but he turned into a चोर
And with the रोटी in his hands as he ran across the railway track,
Time dilation added 15 years when he stopped to look back

He was now a गबरू जवान and loved Paro, the गाँव की गोरी
And that was the beginning of their सच्चे प्यार की story
They sang around the trees and shared जनम जनम की कसमें
But were afraid of the ज़ालिम ज़माना and दुनिया की रस्में
The villain’s son “छोटे सरकार” had बुरी नज़र on Paro’s beauty
And when she passed by he blew the typical सीटी

“घर में माँ बहन नहीं है क्या ?” pat came Paro’s reply.
But that was a mistake as छोटे सरकार was drunk and high.
Paro’s इज्ज़त was in खतरा and she cried out “बचाओ….”
Viru arrived just in time and thrashed the villains and How!!
Viru had taken कानून in his hands and छोटे सरकार had him jailed
मुन्नी के शादी के गहने were kept गिरवी by माँ to get him bailed

Paro’s greedy dad wasn’t impressed by Viru’s jobless state
He summoned पंडितजी and set Paro’s wedding date
“तुने हमारी खानदान की इज्ज़त को मिटटी में मिला दिया” he said
He locked her in her room and beat her till she bled
छोटे सरकार and Paro’s कुंडली matched like शिव पारवती की जोड़ी
But that my friends is not the end of the story

Coz प्यार की शक्ति is greater than/equal to दौलत की शक्ति
Viru arrived at the right time shouting “यह शादी नहीं हो सकती”
He ran away with Paro after escaping a chase in a taxi
And he married her in a temple keeping अग्नि को साक्षी
But soon, मुनीमजी informed Viru that माँ और मुन्नी were kidnapped
In a glass room, inside an underground den, they were trapped.

It was a place with automatic doors switches and red-green lights,
“आज तक मैंने तुमसे कुछ नहीं माँगा”, Viru said as he prepared for the fights
Boss and छोटे सरकार watched cabaret and said, as fighters were sent
“मुझे वीरू चाहिए जहाँ कहीं भी हो, जिंदा या मुर्दा” and off the fighters went
Viru was उन जैसों के लिए अकेला ही काफी and beat them black and blue
As their bullets missed Viru as he ran, jumped and flew.

Among the fighters was Jai, a मजबूर guy
Viru and him were कुम्भ के मेले में बिछड़े हुए भाई
When Jai shot at viru, मौसी jumped to take the गोली
And begged the brothers to stop the खून की होली
Jai saw the निशान on his brother’s arm and “भैया…” did he shout
“भैया तुम भाभी को लेके जाओ, मैं इन्हें संभाल लूँगा”, he cried out

There were cries of “कुत्ते, सूअर के बच्चो” and other life forms
As Viru entered the villain’s den amidst the rains and storms
He saved माँ और मुन्नी from the चंगुल of the evil boss
As flashback mode reminded him of his इमानदार father’s loss
Boss shot at Viru and accidentally killed his own son
And that was the last bullet that he had in his gun

After 20 minutes of beating the bad guy, sirens were heard
“अपने आप को पुलिस के हवाले कर दो”, and the cops finally entered
But just before he was held, boss found a revolver
and as usual वही हुआ जिस बात का था डर
Viru was shot and needed दुआ rather than दवा in his critical state
माँ kept भगवन पे भरोसा but Paro didn’t wait

She walked up the temple stairs as wind blew and bells tolled
And Viru opened his eyes as Paro sang a भजन in the cold
I am finding it tough to make these lines rhyme
Its late now and I am a little short on time
So please understand the rest of the कहानी
By reading their dialogues उन्ही की ज़ुबानी

Dialogues in the hospital :-
“मैं कौन हूँ कहाँ हूँ?”
“मुझे सब याद आ गया”
“Viru, मैं तुम्हारे बच्चे की माँ बनने वाली हूँ “
“भगवान् ने हमारी सुन ली “
Dialogues in the court :-
“Order… Order…”
“मैं जो कहूँगा सच कहूँगा सच के सिवा कुछ नहीं कहूँगा ‘
“Judge साब … यह झूठ है “
“ताजीराते हिंद, दफा ३०२ के तहत, मुलजिम boss को मौत की सजा सुनाई जाती है”

And so there was देर in god’s house but not अंधेर, such were परवरदिगार ‘s powers
and the final scene ended with Viru and Paro kissing each other, of course hidden by two shaking sunflowers.

And that my friends is the story of THE GREAT INDIAN HINDI CINEMA

P.S : – In the next जनम Paro, the मुज्रावाली and Viru, the अमीर बाप की बिगड़ी हुई औलाद reunited but that’s a different story altogether …
