MAA-NI STUDIO :
Manik was in the studio..looking for his upcoming
concerts..and asking for the details ..with one of his
P.A "Dhruv"..Who is actually a good friend as well.. a well
wisher of Manik..who really admired Manik..but he had
seen some weird feeling in Manik's eyes..and he always
wonder..what is it??...
Manik was sitting on the chair..crossing his legs..going
through with some papers in his hands..the studio
belongs to Manik..he had built it up 2 years ago..when
he was engrossed in those files..Dhruv asked him..
Dhruv : "Sir...can i ask you something.."
Manik : still looking in file "yes Dhruv ..you can ask..but
firstly don't call me sir..ok.."..
Dhruv : smiled at his reply "umm..sorry..so Manik..I
always wanted to ask this..why you have chooses such
weird name of this studio..i mean ..it has no
meaning.."..Now Manik raised his face to look at dhruv
..he stood up..and walked towards the side wall..where
there "MAA-NI STUDIO" ..was engraved in bold golden
shining laters..he caressed the letters..and a smiled
appeared on his face..
Manik : "this word is very close to my heart..this mere
word consist every part of me..it has everything which i
lost..or i can say..i ruined..."..he said with a sardonic
smile ...Dhruv was confused with his answer..
Dhruv : "but..what does MAA-NI means.." he asked..but
Manik didn't replied to him..and asked him to wrap up
the pending work as he is going for concert..and Manik
left out the place ...leaving confused Dhruv behind..
Concert Venue :
It was late night concert..The venue was open
place..fully crowed..security was really tight..Manik
was standing on the stage with a guitar in his end..he
was standing with a smirk and enormous attitude on his
face..camera was rolling all over the stage..Manik
Malhotra born to be in spotlight..and here he is..all set
to set the whole stage on fire..he start tuning the
guitar..and start singing..
Baaton ko teri hum bhula na sake
Hoke judaa hum na judaa ho sake
Dil mein hai zinda har ghadi tu kahin
Hoke judaa hum na judaa ho sake
(he was singing with a passionate voice..although he
was smiling throughout the song..but it wasn't seem to
be a real one..there was something in his eyes..he sung
the lines as he really mean it..)
Kitni chahat hai dil mein tu jaane na
Kaise dil ko samjhaaye dil maane na
(he closed his eyes ..and sang..remembering
something..which was soothing his inner soul..)
Meri tammanaao ka ehsaas tum
Main kahin bhi rahun mere aas-paas tum
Khuda jaane, Khuda jaane, Khuda jaane..
Ek pal bhi tumse door jaa na sake
Hoke judaa hum na judaa ho sake
Baaton ko teri hum bhula na sake
Hoke judaa hum na judaa ho sake
(he opened his eyes..and found a beautiful
girl..standing in front of him..looking in his eyes..she
was smiling to him..her eyes were shining..and a smile
crept on his lips as well..she came near his ears and
said something in it..and she disappeared...he start
looking here n there..and gave a ironical smile..)
Ajnabi silsila mere saath hai
Bheed mein tanhaai ka ehsaas hai
Khuda jaane, Khuda jaane, Khuda jaane..
Yaadon ko teri hum mitaa na sake
Hoke judaa hum na judaa ho sake
Dil mein hai zinda har ghadi tu kahin
Hoke judaa hum na judaa ho sake..
(he looked all around and found enormous crowd..but
still he felt ..he is alone..he remembered something and
felt like..he should kill himself..his smiling face start
showing anger..but still he manage to sing..)
Baaton ko teri hum bhula na sake
Hoke judaa hum na judaa ho sake
Dil mein hai zinda har ghadi tu kahin
Hoke judaa hum na judaa ho sake
(he remembered nandini's lie in the morning to the
owner of NGO..he remembered her smiling face..then
her emotionless face..tears fell down from his eyes..he
found something wet on his cheeks..he touched his
face..and realize it's his tears..he was shocked as what
made him cry..)
He completed the performance and stepped out with
lots guards guarding him ..some person came and gave
him his chocolaty brown jacket..and Manik wore it..He
himself is a style icon..his every move was captured by
numerous camera..crowd was around his each
sides..and he was walking with vast attitude..
REPORTER : "sir ..you won so much fame in such a
short span of time..how you feel about it..most
importantly..you won lots of awards..don't you found
yourself very lucky..as you turn out be a
WINNER.."...he asked him ..till now Manik was
smirking..but soon his smile faded away..just by the
mere mention of word "WINNER"...
All the surroundings voice muted for him..his face
turned blank..only word start echoing in his mind
"WINNER"...and soon the word changes into
"LOOSER"..now he start laughing maniacally ..and the
people around him got stun at his sudden laugh..he left
out still laughing..and this made them to gossip ..
Manik was approaching towards the car..still
laughing..Driver was about sat inside..when Manik
asked him to handover the keys..and he exactly what
Manik said..soon..Manik drove away in high speed..he
was still laughing but now not to loud..he was actually
laughing on himself...
Manik : "WINNER..han..right the so called WINNER
..who lost everything..everything just to win ..."..he
again laughed sardonic way..he was driving very
recklessly..although the speed wasn't too high..but still
his concentration on road was very less..
Just then...he realized a humanly figure ..whom he
knocked down..he suddenly applied brakes of his
car..and rushed outside..it was late night and the road
was empty..he saw a boy lying on the road struggling
to get up..so he gave his hand to the boy ..just to help
him out..but the face of boy wasn't visible to him..
Manik : "ohh..am really sorry..it was due to my lack of
concentration..please get up.."..he forward his hand to
him..by the time..boy turned his face to hold manik's
hand but stopped in between after watching the face of
manik..he was shocked and so was Manik..boy stood
up without holding Manik's hand..
Manik : "CABIR"...he said in a shock..
Cabir : "MANIK"..he was also shocked..they both look
at each other..Manik came forward to hug Cabir ..Cabir
was also about to hug him..but soon..some flashes
came in front of his eyes..and he took some steps
back..leaving Manik baffled..
Manik : "3 years..3 saal baad mil rahe hai hum..hug bhi
nahi karega"..he said in a sad tone..
Cabir : "SIR..YOU'RE HIGHLY MISTAKING..I DON'T
KNOW YOU..ACTUALLY YES..I KNOW YOU..THE
SINGING SUPERSTAR MANIK MALHOTRA.."..he said in
a stern voice with a blank expression...a thunder storm
fell on manik..he was looking at CABIR with a shocking
expression..he saw accusation in Cabir's eyes..
Manik : "Cabir kya keh raha hai..mai hu..manik..your
childhood friend.."..he said in painful voice..
Cabir : "No..Sir..my childhood friend Manik..HE IS NO
MORE..HE DIED 3 YEARS BACK ONLY..."...he said in
anger filled voice..now..Manik was rooted at his place
only..he himself start questioning his own existence..IS
CABIR IS RIGHT?..YES OFCORSE HE IS RIGHT...I NOT
EVEN KILLED NANDINI..I KILLED THEIR MANIK AS
WELL..these things start coming in his mind..
Cabir tried to left the place as he himself can't stand in
front of Manik longer..he walked some steps away
from Manik..Manik was still standing looking
downwards..Cabir turned around and said..
Cabir : "i think this time..apne jo thodi dair pehle sorry
bola tha..you will keep it..u will not knock someone
down from your car..but i wonder..apke so called
SORRY'S..are they trust worthy ?.,.i guess no..."...He
said in a stern voice..Manik looked towards him..but
Cabir turned his face away from him..and walked
out..after wiping the tears in his eyes..which was about
to fell down..
Manik was still standing their like a statue..Cabir's
words were ringing in his ears..
Manik : "what i had done to myself..please punish
me..beat me..yell at me..but don't turn away your face
from me.."...he said to himself in pain..and sat inside
the car and drove away...
MANIK'S ROOM :
He was sitting on the floor..his one leg was lying
straight..while other was folded a bit..on which he
placed his one hand..he was in deep thoughts of
something...and soon he remembered his last
encounter with Nandini..
(PAST - 3 YEARS BACK)
Manik was in his room..tuning his guitar..just when he
heard a knock on his room door..he got up from the bed
and opened the door..and what he found..it was least
expected..NANDINI..was standing in front of him..
Manik : "Nandini.."...
Nandini : "Mai andar aa sakti hu.."..she asked politely..he
observed nandini keenly..she wasn't the same nandini at
all..something has changed overnight in her..
He permitted her to come inside..he knew why she was
there..
Manik (self thought) : " whatever happened yesterday..she
must have came to talk about that only..so what..let her
speak .."..
But what Nandini said to him..made him stunned..
Nandini : "Manik..mai yahan kal ki baat karne nahi aayi
hoon.."...she paused and continue ..."i just came to say
thank u.."..she said with a smile which made Manik
confused...
Nandini : "don't be surprise..i came here to say
thanks..kal..itni jaldi sab hua ki mujhe kuch samjh nahi
aaya ..so i thought...why not i meet you personally and
say thanks.."...she again paused..her face was so blank
and emotionless that it was very difficult for Manik to
understand..what she is saying..
Nandini : "so Mr. Manik Malhotra ..thanks a lot..."..she
said with a broad smile on her face and turned to
leave..but stopped in mid way by Manik's voice..
Manik : who was so confused all this while ..spill the
beans "I Don't think maine kuch galat kiya tha.."...he
himself didn't knew why he said that..as she herself didn't
opened up the matter..then why he talked about it..
Nandini : chuckled at his statement ..she said still facing
her back to him "maine kuch nahi kaha Manik..bye
tc.."and she moved out..making Manik more stunned as
he was expecting some harsh words from her..but how
can she be so neutral ..she stopped in the mid of the door
and said..still facing her back to Manik..
Nandini : "i will pray manik..ki..mere dil se nikali koi bhi
aah..ya..galti se bhi koi bhi curse..mera..tumhe touch bhi
na kare.."...he was flustered with her remarked..she
continued..."agar mirror ke samne khare hone ke baad bhi
..tum apne ap se nazre mila pao..toh assure ho jana ki
tumne kabhi kuch galat nahi kiya tha..i wish you all good
luck and enormous success in your life..bye.."...
and she
left out..from there and his life..leaving a shocked,baffled
Manik behind...
Manik : "no..i didn't did anything wrong..no way.."..he
tried to make himself understand..he came towards the
mirror and start gazing at himself...and smiled.."see..i
didn't did anything wrong.."...but soon his smile fade
away and he start wondering why he is pondering on her
words..he didn't realized that when he was wondering
standing in front of mirror..he was actually looking down..
After sometime..when he came towards the mirror to wore
his shirt..he was gazing himself in the mirror..but not for
longer..he wasn't able to make eye contact with
himself..this time ..realization hit him..but he chucked all
the thoughts..and grabbed his car keys and left out...
(PAST-3 YEARS BACK OVER)
Manik : "you were right nandini..mai kabhi apne ap se
nazre nahi mila paya..kabhi nahi.."...he continued after
a while.."us din..jab tum bina kuch kahe chali gayi
thi..tab laga..how stupid you are..but dheere dheere
realize hua..jaate jaate bhi tum mujhe dua de gayi
thi..aur aaj usi dua ki wajah se..am THE MANIK
MALHOTRA.."...he smiled sarcastically..
after
mentioning his name with honour..
Manik : "tum bina kuch kahe chali gayi..tabse..leke aaj
tak..mai chain se nahi baitha nandini..tumne kuch kaha
kyu nahi..u should have killed me..now i realize ..wo
sach mai meri galti nahi thi..wo mera gunaah tha..jiski
koi maafi nahi hai..Cabir was right..Manik died 3 years
back..jab maine..."...he himself wasn't able to say
what sinful crime he had committed...
NAVNITI RESIDENCE :
Nandini was working in the kitchen..while Navya was
watching manik's concert..on t.v..and Mukti who was
least interested ..was just sitting with Navya as she
asked her to accompany her..Mukti was taking glance
of Nandini every now n then ..who was working in
kitchen..and not looking at the t.v at all..but Mukti was
observing her..but she didn't find anything weird..
After sometime..when she looked back ..she found
Nandini missing from the kitchen area..she got up and
moved towards Nandini's room..she saw Nandini lying
on the bed..keeping her head on the head board of
bed..she was holding a big teddy very close to her
heart..her eyes were closed..
Mukti moved towards her..and asked..
Mukti : "tu andar kyu aa gayi.."..now nandini opened
her eyes and said..
Nandini : "aahh..mai bahut thak gayi thi..it was very
tiring day..so ..thought to sleep early..kyu kya
hua.."...she said very casually..
Mukti : "really?... acha...why you're holding this
teddy ?.."..she asked after snatching the teddy from
her grip..
Nandini : "Mukti..what type of question is this..i was
just..holding it.."..and she snatched back the teddy
from her hands..
Mukti :"bas ho gaya tera..am not gonna let you suffer
more..samjhi tu..".. She literally shouted on nandini..
Nandini : "am not at all suffering... Just look at me
..am fine...".. She said in a very calm tone ..and made
mukti look at her from tip to toe..
Mukti : " really?...u r fine na..then come with
me..."..she dragged her to a secret room which is in
nandini's room...
Nandini wondered how mukti knows about this
room..as she never showed to her...
Inside the room...Mukti made her stand in the center of
the room and start throwing some CD's on the floor
..and nandini was shocked...
Mukti : "toh yeh sab kya hai bol...why didn't you threw
all this...why you still have MANIK'S collection with
you...".. She shaked her ..but nandini was silent..
Mukti : " Teri yeh silence..it's killing me
angel...please...mat kar ESA khudke sath..u wanna
shout..then shout..you wanna cry..then cry your heart
out..but don't keep all this in your heart plz"...mukti
was now in tears...she was pleading in front of her..but
nandini didn't reacted a bit...she didn't cried nor she
yelled..she very calmly said...
Nandini : "mukti..yeh sab cheeze...it will always remind
me..that never trust someone blindly..bas..isilye yeh
yahan hai..nothing else..I don't wants to cry..why
would I cry...no..I won't.. U know what...I knew..I
knew ..ki wo aaj NGO mei tha..woh aaj kya..wo har
roj...us waqt NGO mei hota hai..he thinks I don't
know...but I know...jis tarah ek sach yeh hai na ki
..mai use bhool nahi sakti...usi tarah ek sach yeh bhi
hai..ki mai use kabhi maaf nahi kar sakti..."... Mukti
was shocked ..she was very numb..how to react...in all
these 3 years ..nandini never cried in front of
anyone..even today ...her face was emotionless...
Nandini left out of the room...
Mukti : " Manik malhotra...u killed her..Jo larki dusro ke
aansu dekh ke bhi ro deti thi..aaj wo apne emotions KO
kitni asani se chupa leti hai...kal tak jiski aankhon mei
dekne se uske dil ka haal pata chal jata tha..aaj uski
aankhon mei koi emotions he nahi hai...agar wo tumhe
maaf kar bhi de...toh bhi woh khuda tumhe kabhi maaf
nahi karega...u killed my angel manik...and today I
curse you...that u will love someone truly one day but
that person will walk out from your life..leaving you
shattered... "...she said in anger but in very much
pain...
Her words were heard by nandini who came back to
bring mukti back...
She joined her hands and prayed... " please
aiyyapa...jis tarah se mai chahti hu ki mera anjaane
mei bhi koi curse manik KO touch bhi na Kare..usi tarah
..I don't want mukti's curse to touch him.."...
Screen divided into four parts..in the extremes there are
Manik and Nandini..while in the mean..there are..Cabir
and Mukti...all have a tensed look..
