Trishna

This programme contains some violent scenes, some strong language

and some scenes of a sexual nature.

-Darjeeling.

-That your favourite?

-Yeah, it's up there. For sure.

-Varanasi was the best, I thought.

-Varanasi?

-Yeah, just surreal.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, you would say that!

Never seen Deepak so Punjabi in my life. "Yeah, I'm a local.

-"Golden Temple, that's me."

-Goa, I like Goa.

It's like the least Indian thing you could do.

-Beaches in Kerela, girls in Goa.

-Yeah, check.

-Can't believe this is the end of the trip.

-Yeah.

-I'm back to work on Wednesday.

-I know, mate, and the weather's going to suck, as well.

Enjoy work, enjoy the weather, think of me,

out here suffering in the heat.

-You all right there, Mark?

-Too many Bhang lassis.

-How many did you have?

Don't know.

Why are you bringing us here?

There's a really nice temple. Look, you can see, look. See that?

One temple.

It's got, out of 400 plus pages in this guidebook,

there's one paragraph dedicated to this place. It must be boom town.

It's off the beaten track.

This is the Jain temple of Mahavira.

This temple is very oldest temple in India.

Mohammad was the last, number 24 prophet, about a Jain.

The statue from there is 2,500 years old,

-handmade by sand with milk.

-What were the eyes?

-And eyes were diamond.

-Diamonds?

Real diamond, 24 carats.

Who are these characters?

They are the Apsara dancing girls.

Dancing girls are represent for God the playful singing song and dancing.

-See, he wants to convert now, I think, after that.

-Yeah, yeah.

And these are very old pillars of the gate.

-And can you look the very big detail, sir.

-Yeah.

Now we build the new temple over here

and these are the old temples of 2,500 years old.

And the left-hand gallery, they all are female goddess

of individuals.

Like Parvati, Durga, Lakshimi, and Saraswati.

First people go the main temple of the principle,

then others go around, left to right,

pray, pray to pray for the other temples.

-Is there going to be a test at the end?

-Yeah.

Ah, it's nice, man.

Yeah, we should have stayed here the whole time.

So, was it worth the drive?

It's a great place, man.

The dancers have arrived.

-Hello.

-Good evening.

Good evening.

Thank you.

Those girls are cute, right?

Yeah, we should dance, come on.

You should do it, man.

You're boring.

Yeah, your moves are great, bro.

How are you? Rita? I'm Sandeep.

MUSIC MIXES WITH CHAT

-What happened, buddy?

-What do you mean, what happened?

-Going so good.

-So why didn't you guys join in?

-You gave up far too easily.

You know, I think I saw you at the temple today.

Yeah, I was there with my sister and my brother. My sister's birthday today.

-How old is she?

-Six, sir.

-How old are you?

-Sir, I'm 19.

19. Do you work here full-time?

No, sir. Sir, I come here only on special occasions like today.

But you don't go to college or university?

No, sir. In Osian there is no college

and if I had to study then I would have to go far,

far away and it's very expensive for my family.

Hey, guys, it's us. You need a lift?

Guys, guys, listen.

We've even got a chaperone here, look, there's a driver.

-What did she say?

-Get in the front.

-You've never learned Hindi.

-No, we never spoke it at home.

Yeah, do you want to hear it?

Oh, my God! Thank you.

-What was that?

-I would like to say one thing in Punjabi.

Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for that.

So, maybe see you at the hotel?

Bye-bye.

-Your father's in.

-Yes.

-E-mail me.

-Yes, I will.

-Take care.

-Bye-bye.

-Bye.

He is a hit with the kids.

You've got your own personal army.

But they couldn't stop you from getting injured.

How's your dad?

-He's still in the hospital.

-He has chest injuries.

-Is this your sister?

-Yes, sir.

-What's your name?

-My name is Devshri.

Devshri?

She just ran away from him.

He's got to work a lot faster than this.

So, if your dad's in hospital and you've got a broken arm,

like, what are you guys going to do?

It is going to be very difficult now

because my father had to pay the loan for the jeep.

Yo, Jay, we got to go, man.

Yeah, one minute.

Have you got a phone number or something?

No, sir, my phone was broken in accident.

My father's got a hotel near Jaipur.

I can get my father to send a letter to your family offering you a job.

Thank you, sir

Jay, come on, bro.

-Get well soon, and I hope it works out.

-Thank you, sir.

And I hope your dad gets better.

-Thank you, sir.

-See you later.

-Thank you, bye.

-Bye.

-Take your time, man.

-Have a game of cricket.

-I don't want you to scuff your shoes.

You want some extra time at the airport to buy each other perfume.

-How was she?

-What?

-Was she OK?

Can we get these guys out of the country straightaway?

What did she say?

She said, "Tell your friend that was a fake number...

-"my friend gave your friend."

-I've got an e-mail address, too.

THEY ALL LAUGH

"Dear sir, please accept this l-letter

"as a formal offer of employment..."

Hey.

How are you doing? You OK?

My driver can't come till later so I thought I'd come and get you myself.

-Thank you.

-Don't want you breaking anything else.

-OK.

I'll put this in the luggage room. He can pick it up later.

OK, sir.

My friend, this is for the Samode Bagh Hotel.

I thought that cast would come off by now.

-Sir, two weeks more and then I can take off.

-OK.

You can hold onto me.

I'm fine, sir.

All the milk and butter comes from here.

These are my dad's.

He had two budgies when he was a kid and he's been upgrading ever since.

You won't be able to start your training until your arm's better,

-so we'll start you off with feeding these guys.

-Thank you.

And I will pay the builders directly.

BIRDS CHIRP

SHE CALLS TO THE BIRDS

Hey. How's it going?

-Oh, good.

-Have you tried whistling to them?

-You haven't?

-No.

My dad likes it when you whistle to them.

HE WHISTLES

You know how to whistle, don't you?

-No, sir.

-You just put your lips together and blow.

Put your lips like this...

..and then blow.

SHE EXHALES

Even more softly, softly.

HE WHISTLES A NOTE

SHE WHISTLES SOFTLY

"Frenzy" isn't the word. Chaos...

-Good morning, sir.

-Hello!

-BIRD CRIES

Ah, there it is.

There's my boy. How are you?

Thank you.

-What's that?

-What?

-That.

-Do you know it?

-No, what is it?

-It's a variety of bird.

-Of what?

Little hummingbird kind of thing, you know?

You don't know that.

They flap their wings in one spot and drink nectar.

Trishna, this is my dad.

-Hello, sir.

-Dad, this is Trishna, she's been looking after your birds.

Oh, have you really, Trishna? How nice to meet you.

-Good, I'm glad. Do you like the job?

-Yes, sir.

(Very nice.)

But, you know, that peacock, that is so strange, isn't it?

Half shriek, half lament, half call for its lover.

BIRD CRIES

-What is that?

-Partridge.

I used to shoot them as a boy.

You don't know that, you don't know that.

Your knowledge of flora and fauna is absolutely zero.

-You were just making it up, weren't you?

-No, of course not.

-I bet you they're not.

-Take your bets...

-OK.

-..ladies and gentlemen

before the roulette wheel turns.

Sorry, sir.

Not at all.

-Good. Do you have a moment?

-Yes, sir.

-May I take your arm?

-Yes, sir.

What's that?

HE SNIFFS

Nice perfume. Is it you?

Or is it jasmine?

Oh, listen to them all singing.

-SHE WHISTLES

-Ah...

Wonderful. Well, you whistle so well - no wonder.

Who taught you to whistle like that?

-Jay, sir.

-Jay? I don't believe it.

I used to be able to whistle.

I can't whistle to save my life.

Come here a minute, will you? Let's have a look at you.

Take that. Come here.

Oh, yes.

Yes...

Yes.

Well...

Jay said you were very beautiful.

Well, he was right for a change. You are.

Is he treating you well?

Yes, sir.

Good.

As long as you're happy.

No hotel runs itself. No business runs itself.

Whatever gave you that idea? You've got to work at it.

-Can one ask...what else you want to do?

-Yeah.

I'd like to go to Bombay and find some projects to invest in there.

You really are sometimes impossible. Really are.

I said I'd come here, I've given it a go. Great.

Your mother was right.

I really spoilt you.

I'm not asking for any more than what you did for Ojun.

Look, you're no longer a child.

-You don't want to do this business, don't do it.

-Thank you.

It's OK.

-Can you manage?

-Yeah.

Thanks a lot.

See you.

Listen, can you get Trishna to serve me lunch in my room from now on?

-Upstairs.

-Yes, sir.

Hello, sir. May I come in?

Oh, hey. Just here is fine.

Thank you, sir.

Listen, I found a course that you might be interested in.

It is a diploma in hotel management.

Would you be interested in going to that?

Yes, sir.

I could give you a couple of mornings off every week.

Thank you, sir.

Roll it like this.

This part to go down side.

OK, add more water.

Sir, lunch.

-Do you want to just put it down on the table?

-OK.

Actually, it would be better on the bed.

Thank you, sir. Sorry.

-How are you doing? You OK?

-Yes, sir.

-Good.

Sir, on Friday it is my friend's wedding and I wanted to go.

-Oh, of course.

-Thank you, sir.

Where is it? Back in...where you're from?

-No, no, sir, Jaipur.

-Is it somebody from the hotel?

No, sir. Sir, from my class.

-Oh, from the college?

-From the college.

-Ah, OK.

Sir, I asked to Chanchal, it is her day off, and she said OK.

I went to your house and you weren't there.

Your sister told me you were here.

I left...

I left the hotel.

Why?

Why?

Because the hotel business isn't really my thing.

I'm in Bombay now, it's good.

Why did you leave that day?

Tell me.

I tried calling you, your phone was off.

I carried on trying to call, it became disconnected.

What happened?

We didn't do anything wrong.

Did it feel wrong to you?

I've got my own place in Bombay, OK.

And nobody cares if we're together over there.

You don't have to worry about what people think.

And I can't stop thinking about you.

I want to be with you.

I want you by my side.

Will you come to Bombay with me?

Will you come to Bombay with me?

OK.

-Yes.

-When can you come?

-Now.

-Now?

-Now.

Don't you have to tell your uncle?

No. No, if I tell him he won't let me leave.

Is this like how you thought it would be?

I think it's better.

Almost there.

This is it.

This is the kitchen.

This is where you're going to be spending most of your time,

obviously(!)

Nice, huh?

Very nice.

Wow, it's so big.

So this is all yours?

I'm renting it.

And this is your room.

-My room?

-Yeah.

-What do you think?

-I don't need a room.

In case you ever want your own space.

This is beautiful. I've never seen the sea before.

Well, I thought you might like the view.

This is for you.

-The script.

We are trying to form a company together.

You know he's got a rich father?

I'm a writer/director, Amit is a music director.

Thanks(!) Is that my only qualification? Rich father?

You could have just said, "Jay's the producer,

"he's good at organising things."

He's got a father with lots of money

and we are trying to make him a producer.

-Tell us about you.

-What do you want to know?

-You act?

-No.

You don't act? You don't like to act?

-You don't want to act?

-No, I don't think so.

It's really hard, you know, and Bollywood people

don't take you seriously when you do theatre.

They think, "Oh theatre, it's just a side job."

What's the play you're doing?

I'm doing two. One is a clown version of Hamlet.

-Really?

-Yeah, it's clowns playing Hamlet.

-That's quite cool.

-Yeah, and we talk in gibberish.

The life of an actor would make a good movie, you know.

-MAN: A white girl in Bollywood.

-My life is dramatic enough.

I do not want a movie about it, OK?

Set it in stone in history so people could watch it and see...

It wouldn't really be a movie - it would be soap opera.

Oh, it's hot.

What happened to the cherry? Who ate my cherry?

I took your cherry.

It is so cute how you guys have dressed up in the same coloured top.

Why thank you. I'm glad we've got your blessing.

-That's sweet.

-It was deliberate.

It's nice how you dress like Brangelina.

Romance, hey? I need some of that.

-Hi.

-Hey.

-Come back early?

-Yeah.

You OK?

Just had a call from London...

..and, um, my dad's in hospital.

What happened?

They're saying he's had a stroke.

Is he OK now?

-No, he's still in hospital.

-OK.

-I need to go back and see him.

-Yes, OK.

It's OK.

When I go back and see my dad, I'm going to tell him about us, OK?

Really?

Is that OK?

Listen, he's got this really old necklace my grandmother left for me.

-And my grandmother told me to give it to the girl that I love.

-Mm.

And I want to get it and come back and give it to you.

I don't want us to have any secrets that you find out about later.

Before you came to Bombay, I slept with...

Pooja

and Kalki.

It's OK.

Promise?

-Yes.

There's something I need to tell you too.

When I went back home...

..I found out that I got pregnant.

My...

My dad took me to the doctor.

And... And I had to get an abortion.

Why didn't you tell me?

I...

I was just so scared.

Sorry.

What... Wait, wait. What about...?

I just want to understand, OK?

-Yeah? I just want to understand.

-Yeah.

Why haven't you told me...

..like, in Bombay, until now?

Huh?

That's like a big deal.

Don't you think?

Yes.

So, then, why didn't you tell me?

Do you think maybe I had a right to know?

Huh?

But I don't understand how you can...

One second. Just one second.

I don't understand how you can...

Like, we've seen each other every day,

we've been doing everything together.

You can't say it's like you haven't had a chance to talk to me, can you?

Hm? We've been sleeping together, we're meant to be in love.

Now, that... That feels like a bit of a slap in the face.

To think you don't trust me enough to tell me something that's so...

Huh?

I'm just coming down now.

Thank you.

Some tea for you.

-I don't have time for tea, so just put it down.

-OK.

That's all I've got on me, but it should be enough.

Yeah, she said, "You have to leave because the owners are coming back."

He's just not really himself.

Should I open, sir?

-I'm fine, thanks.

-Oh.

HE CLEARS THROAT

Like, he's in bed - he's bedbound, he can't walk.

They're not sure if he will be able to walk again. And, um...

obviously, everyone's just massively on edge.

Yeah.

It's like...my brothers are actually just arguing in front of his bed.

He's just lying there.

All the stuff that my dad was doing might have been boring,

but it's important - just being around, just taking care of stuff.

They're not up for it.

Like, they're not going to do it, so I'll have to do it.

I feel like, you know, it's the least I can do for him.

So I've got to take care of the hotels in Rajasthan,

surprise, surprise(!)

I know that, um...

I know it's different in Rajasthan to here.

I know for you it would be difficult,

you know - how you would be seen if...

You know, as my live-in girlfriend.

But I could get... I was thinking I could get you a job at the hotel.

OK.

I guess it will be a little bit like before.

In public, we...

So this fucker is leaving us.

-ALL:

-Ohhh!

-My movie is fucked.

Hello, sir. Welcome to Ranvas.

-This is Trishna.

-Hello, Trishna.

-She'll be working with you now.

-She was from the Samode Hotel.

-Yes, yes, sir.

At this hotel, we have 16 havelis.

In past time, it was accommodation of the queens.

-He had 16 wives?

-16 wives.

Must have been a very happy man.

Very happy.

Amar Singh came here in 1638...

This is the ladies' swimming pool.

On other side, there is a men's swimming pool.

This is the Amar Singh Palace, built in 16th century.

-This is the bedroom?

-It's the bedroom.

-And these are all the different wives?

-Yes.

You can see our window.

It's a different type of window, in which she can see outside

but nobody can see inside this palace.

No.

Don't do anything.

OK?

-Yeah.

Hell-o.

Hello.

Do you know what the Kama Sutra says?

No.

It says there are three different kinds of heroines

that you're allowed to make love to, right?

You've got the maid,

the single lady

and the courtesan.

So which one are you?

I don't know.

-Hello, sir.

SHE SPEAKS IN OWN LANGUAGE

Why are you so late?

Hm?

Sorry. The kitchen was busy.

Trishna?

Huh?

Mm.

I want to see what the uniform looks like without that red thing.

Just take the red thing off.

Open your hair.

Take your pants off.

Uh?

Just lift up your skirt.

You know, it's so boring always seeing you wearing the same clothes.

Can't you wear something else?

You wear one of the dresses I got you in Bombay?

How do I bring it here?

Just put it in with my clean laundry.

Drink, please?

Your dress is inside.

Looks nice.

Turn around.

Do you know why I've got champagne?

It's our anniversary.

I want you to dance for me.

I don't want to dance.

HE SIGHS

I thought you liked dancing.

You like it, don't you?

Do you miss Bombay?

-Yes.

-Yeah.

Well, you can dance - for me.

Because we're celebrating.

Look at me.

Come here.

Come HERE.

Can't you do one little thing for me,

after everything I've done for you?
