After decades of dormancy, the aging icons of Parsi Theatre return to the stage, putting aside their walking sticks and wheelchairs for one final curtain. Plunging into rehearsals, this documentary chronicles the resilience of a singular cast of characters that want nothing more than to go out with a bang. For most of them it will be the last time on stage after careers spanning over half a century. As the film tumbles headfirst into the creative chaos of rehearsals, we get an intimate portrait of the bonds shared between the veteran stars and the youngsters, along with a distinct flavour of their sensibilities, marked by a particular brand of not-so-subtle (and sometimes downright potty) humour that is uniquely their own. The players want to put up the best show they can, not one that’s simply good enough given its ‘senior citizen’ tag. In a way this film is very much about debunking and celebrating old age. About how people considered well past their prime, still have so much to give and be, and are themselves living, breathing, flawed, and joyous beings. A great tragedy befalls the cast on the eve of the Final Show. Will it change everything? Or will the show go on, despite all odds?

00:01:20.038 --> 00:01:21.873
Sam was sleeping"
00:01:22.540 --> 00:01:23.208

00:01:28.630 --> 00:01:29.714

00:01:30.215 --> 00:01:30.882
Good morning"
00:01:30.882 --> 00:01:32.092
Good morning, good afternoon"
00:01:32.092 --> 00:01:33.593

00:01:36.596 --> 00:01:37.639
Hi"
00:01:37.639 --> 00:01:38.640

00:01:39.682 --> 00:01:41.768
- How are you?
- Absolutely alright"
00:01:41.768 --> 00:01:42.769
By grace of God"
00:01:44.020 --> 00:01:44.979
Take it easy, alright?"
00:01:44.979 --> 00:01:46.022
Yes Ma'am!"
00:01:50.860 --> 00:01:51.986
So let's start"
00:01:52.862 --> 00:01:53.822
Goodmorning"
00:01:54.656 --> 00:01:56.074
You're about half an hour late"
00:01:56.074 --> 00:01:56.658
But it's okay"
00:01:56.950 --> 00:01:57.700
Sorry"
00:01:57.700 --> 00:01:58.952
Is she still running?"
00:01:59.327 --> 00:02:01.204
- Who?
- Does she still have loose motions?"
00:02:01.704 --> 00:02:03.706
- Rashna
- I don't know.."
00:02:06.543 --> 00:02:09.129
- How will he know?
- But he came with her and she's gone to the potty"
00:02:09.129 --> 00:02:10.255
These questions.."
00:02:10.255 --> 00:02:11.673
How will he know?"
00:02:11.673 --> 00:02:12.632
Come on in"
00:02:15.510 --> 00:02:16.678
Can we come in Ruby?"
00:02:16.678 --> 00:02:19.013
Oh Dolly, come come come"
00:02:19.305 --> 00:02:20.765
How are you?"
00:02:22.851 --> 00:02:25.145
- Come, sit
- Thank you"
00:02:25.311 --> 00:02:27.438
Moti! Moti! Hi"
00:02:31.401 --> 00:02:32.485
Ruby!"
00:02:34.612 --> 00:02:37.490
Yes Mummy, they’re lovely and beautiful"
00:02:37.574 --> 00:02:40.160
And then you point out to
some monkey, elephant.."
00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:43.329
- Look, monkey, elephant, giraffe..
- Now see"
00:02:45.540 --> 00:02:46.291
Whatever you say.."
00:02:46.499 --> 00:02:47.500
When you do this"
00:02:48.376 --> 00:02:49.586
You must mentally think"
00:02:50.086 --> 00:02:51.004
That I'm a baby?"
00:02:51.004 --> 00:02:52.839
Not only. That you are one of those.. "
00:02:53.506 --> 00:02:56.509
Parsi community half wits"
00:02:56.634 --> 00:02:58.928
Slightly mentally challenged, no?"
00:03:00.096 --> 00:03:02.223
- No, because you've to act it like that
- Okay"
00:03:02.473 --> 00:03:05.518
Mummy, how do Lions make love?"
00:03:06.019 --> 00:03:08.354
How do Lions make love?"
00:03:08.730 --> 00:03:10.148
I don't know darling"
00:03:10.148 --> 00:03:12.984
All your fathers friends are Rotarians"
00:03:23.870 --> 00:03:26.497
My 'Mawa ni Machhi'
'Sooterfenni'"
00:03:29.125 --> 00:03:30.877
Oh you want me to rap? Sorry"
00:03:31.419 --> 00:03:33.880
Five, six, seven, go"
00:03:33.880 --> 00:03:39.052
#On New Years day, wearing a sari
She reached quite late to Parsi Dairy#"
00:03:40.970 --> 00:03:45.225
#The sweetmeat fish, the old lady's hair
It was all already over#"
00:03:45.225 --> 00:03:48.228
#Done. Finished..#"
00:03:50.230 --> 00:03:52.565
I must have been in school when I started"
00:03:52.899 --> 00:03:55.109
There was a competition called.."
00:03:55.109 --> 00:03:56.569
I forget the name"
00:03:56.986 --> 00:04:00.323
Where Mister Adi Marzban and
a few guys had come to see it"
00:04:00.698 --> 00:04:02.659
And from there"
00:04:02.700 --> 00:04:04.577
He asked my dad"
00:04:04.953 --> 00:04:07.789
That I would like your daughter to act in my plays"
00:04:07.789 --> 00:04:09.832
So that's how I started my journey"
00:04:10.708 --> 00:04:12.418
And that's how I met this guy"
00:04:14.629 --> 00:04:16.965
We can tell you when we started it"
00:04:18.007 --> 00:04:18.841
Would you like to?"
00:04:18.841 --> 00:04:20.301
- No, you carry on
- Okay"
00:04:20.301 --> 00:04:22.053
I'll butt in as and when I.."
00:04:22.303 --> 00:04:23.721
Adi Marzban "
00:04:23.721 --> 00:04:26.432
Was doing variety entertainment shows"
00:04:26.933 --> 00:04:28.268
Always in English"
00:04:29.310 --> 00:04:33.856
So people said that we are fed up of
listening to these English items all the time"
00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:36.526
So bring some Indianised items also"
00:04:37.193 --> 00:04:39.362
And since I had my own orchestra"
00:04:40.238 --> 00:04:41.447
We both were singing"
00:04:42.031 --> 00:04:43.283
So we went there"
00:04:43.783 --> 00:04:44.993
He took our audition"
00:04:45.326 --> 00:04:46.911
He made her sing one line"
00:04:47.287 --> 00:04:49.163
That was from the film 'Pyaasa'"
00:04:49.580 --> 00:04:52.125
And I also sing one line from the same film"
00:04:52.750 --> 00:04:55.628
And he said, 'Okay. Come from
tomorrow onwards. You are selected'"
00:04:55.837 --> 00:04:56.963
And since then"
00:04:57.297 --> 00:04:58.798
We have never looked back"
00:05:00.091 --> 00:05:00.717
Yes"
00:05:01.009 --> 00:05:02.510
Adi saw the talent in us"
00:05:02.510 --> 00:05:04.679
So afterwards he gave us one-one line"
00:05:04.679 --> 00:05:07.348
For a sketch or gag or something"
00:05:07.640 --> 00:05:11.019
Then gradually we started working in the plays"
00:05:11.436 --> 00:05:12.312
That is how it is"
00:05:12.312 --> 00:05:15.440
Today, what I am today on
stage is only because of Adi"
00:05:15.690 --> 00:05:18.109
Because I never knew acting,
I never knew nothing"
00:05:18.484 --> 00:05:20.695
He made me walk and talk on stage"
00:05:20.820 --> 00:05:21.279
Okay"
00:05:21.821 --> 00:05:24.615
Sitting here what should we do?
We should do something productive"
00:05:24.615 --> 00:05:27.869
Let's start a game of Antakshari
in the name of Adi"
00:05:28.328 --> 00:05:29.120
Oh Adi's name!"
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.789
If it's in Adi's name then I must sing first!"
00:05:34.125 --> 00:05:35.835
And you say, 'Yes, Aunty Sing!'"
00:05:36.044 --> 00:05:37.128
Yes, Aunty Sing!"
00:05:37.545 --> 00:05:38.546
Everyone has to say something"
00:05:39.714 --> 00:05:40.840
C'mon! Go Aunty!"
00:05:41.049 --> 00:05:42.508
Shhh.. Quiet!"
00:05:46.512 --> 00:05:51.434
#Our Dear Adi Marzban#"
00:05:53.978 --> 00:05:57.565
#In his wake he left a Storm#"
00:05:58.232 --> 00:06:02.403
#In his beloved memory we present#"
00:06:02.779 --> 00:06:05.907
#To you today's program#"
00:06:07.367 --> 00:06:12.997
#Our Dear Adi Marzban#"
00:06:16.667 --> 00:06:18.586
Pretty much around 1850"
00:06:18.586 --> 00:06:21.714
There was a bunch of students
from Elphinstone College"
00:06:22.173 --> 00:06:24.384
Who performed Shakespeare
For their College Dramatic Club"
00:06:24.842 --> 00:06:27.762
And they called themselves
The Elphinstonian Amateurs"
00:06:28.304 --> 00:06:31.099
So they started of course staging Shakespeare"
00:06:31.099 --> 00:06:34.477
And then they set up a Gujrati play
written by Kekushroo Kabraji"
00:06:34.477 --> 00:06:36.062
It was a hit right off"
00:06:36.062 --> 00:06:37.855
And that was the start of it"
00:06:37.855 --> 00:06:41.192
Because after they started a whole
bunch of other companies began"
00:06:41.192 --> 00:06:43.528
All that came pretty much to"
00:06:43.528 --> 00:06:46.447
A halt sometime around"
00:06:46.447 --> 00:06:49.742
The 1930s, when Cinema
took over in a bigger way"
00:06:50.201 --> 00:06:51.911
So for about 15-20 years"
00:06:52.578 --> 00:06:55.915
Parsi Theatre was in a bit of a decline"
00:06:56.290 --> 00:06:56.833
But"
00:06:56.833 --> 00:06:58.918
Adi Marzban changed it all"
00:06:58.918 --> 00:07:01.712
Sometime in the late 1940s"
00:07:01.712 --> 00:07:05.675
..Early 1950s. In 1954 he staged
a play called Piroja Bhavan"
00:07:05.675 --> 00:07:09.387
And that was considered the
start of Modern Parsi Theatre"
00:07:09.387 --> 00:07:11.389
Where we really broke ground"
00:07:11.389 --> 00:07:13.266
Was a play called Piroja Bhavan"
00:07:13.683 --> 00:07:16.519
Which is 'George Washington Slept Here', in English"
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:18.938
Which was adapted to Piroja Bhavan"
00:07:20.314 --> 00:07:21.274
Where of course"
00:07:21.691 --> 00:07:22.775
Ruby was there"
00:07:23.609 --> 00:07:26.404
But we had no relationship
there. She was just there"
00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:29.115
Nothing happened that time"
00:07:30.491 --> 00:07:32.493
And I was just twenty four"
00:07:33.077 --> 00:07:34.328
And Ruby played my daughter"
00:07:35.288 --> 00:07:36.539
- Ya..
- Can you imagine?"
00:07:36.873 --> 00:07:38.624
Marvelous play. Beautiful play"
00:07:38.624 --> 00:07:39.750
Every minute a laughter"
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:41.127
He was a genius"
00:07:41.419 --> 00:07:44.005
And we are proud to be his product"
00:07:44.380 --> 00:07:45.423
He was a genius"
00:07:45.882 --> 00:07:49.218
I used to ask him some question,
and if he doesn't know the answer"
00:07:49.594 --> 00:07:52.513
He would go to the bookshop
next to his office, buy the books"
00:07:52.513 --> 00:07:54.807
Read it and next day he'll
give me the answer"
00:07:55.683 --> 00:07:56.476
Superb"
00:07:56.976 --> 00:07:58.728
There is no word for Adi"
00:07:59.353 --> 00:08:03.524
One day he started having one guy
coming to teach him Astrology"
00:08:04.150 --> 00:08:05.443
Then he called me one day and said"
00:08:05.902 --> 00:08:07.570
That yours and mine"
00:08:08.154 --> 00:08:10.990
Horoscopes are not blending properly"
00:08:11.282 --> 00:08:14.118
So I have a feeling that you
will start fighting with me "
00:08:14.660 --> 00:08:16.287
So we must both be very careful"
00:08:16.496 --> 00:08:18.956
I laughed out and said,
'What are you talking boss?'"
00:08:19.290 --> 00:08:20.541
But it happened like that"
00:08:20.791 --> 00:08:21.876
It so happened that"
00:08:22.210 --> 00:08:25.129
Our relationship became very sour"
00:08:26.506 --> 00:08:29.383
But I learned a lot from him"
00:08:30.468 --> 00:08:33.346
If anyone wants to discuss
things with you, you say.."
00:08:34.472 --> 00:08:36.849
That you’ve spoken with the Director"
00:08:37.892 --> 00:08:40.186
Because fifty people will give you instructions"
00:08:40.394 --> 00:08:44.065
So you’ll be so confused that
you’ll forget all the lines also"
00:08:44.607 --> 00:08:45.358
Say the line? "
00:08:46.692 --> 00:08:48.152
My Granpa shall pay the bill"
00:08:48.361 --> 00:08:50.238
As soon as you duck, you say.."
00:08:50.613 --> 00:08:53.157
The bill will be paid by Granpa!"
00:08:53.616 --> 00:08:55.284
- Blackout.
- That’s the line"
00:08:55.993 --> 00:08:56.994
You know you"
00:08:57.453 --> 00:09:00.748
The tag lines are supposed to be said.. "
00:09:01.123 --> 00:09:03.042
With a tremendous impact"
00:09:03.584 --> 00:09:06.087
If somebody says that they are hamming"
00:09:06.087 --> 00:09:07.129
To hell with them"
00:09:07.630 --> 00:09:09.674
Parsi’s made a good name for themselves"
00:09:09.674 --> 00:09:12.426
And had a blast while doing it"
00:09:20.309 --> 00:09:22.853
It’s not a total farce"
00:09:23.354 --> 00:09:24.981
It is proper comedy"
00:09:25.648 --> 00:09:27.358
So, we don’t do.."
00:09:32.905 --> 00:09:34.031
..She’s not doing that"
00:09:34.782 --> 00:09:37.201
If we were taking it to that level"
00:09:37.201 --> 00:09:38.536
Then it’s alright if you do that"
00:09:39.161 --> 00:09:41.789
But this script does not demand it"
00:09:42.123 --> 00:09:44.500
Every script has certain demands "
00:09:44.500 --> 00:09:45.918
Which you have to fulfil"
00:09:46.419 --> 00:09:48.129
So, control yourself"
00:09:48.588 --> 00:09:51.424
- Darling I hope you're enjoying yourself?
- Yes, Mummy I am"
00:09:51.716 --> 00:09:53.801
Would you like to ask Mum any questions?"
00:09:54.302 --> 00:09:56.053
Mummy I have one question"
00:09:56.053 --> 00:09:56.596
Sure"
00:09:56.887 --> 00:09:58.639
How do Lions make love? "
00:09:59.056 --> 00:10:00.766
How do Lions make love?"
00:10:01.267 --> 00:10:02.393
I don't know"
00:10:02.810 --> 00:10:05.021
All your fathers friends were Rotarians!"
00:10:05.187 --> 00:10:07.231
- Were no, are! They are not all dead!
- Are!"
00:10:10.318 --> 00:10:10.901
Sorry"
00:10:11.235 --> 00:10:14.071
All your fathers friends are Rotarians"
00:10:15.906 --> 00:10:18.242
Blackout.
Yes please, can we do it again?"
00:10:18.951 --> 00:10:20.411
- Please
- I have to work on her "
00:10:21.203 --> 00:10:22.246
On her song.. Where’s she?"
00:10:22.246 --> 00:10:23.331
She’s gone"
00:10:23.331 --> 00:10:24.415
She’s gone?"
00:10:24.415 --> 00:10:26.083
Yup. Shanaya’s gone home"
00:10:26.709 --> 00:10:28.044
- She’s gone?
- Yup"
00:10:28.502 --> 00:10:30.046
She had some urgent call"
00:10:30.254 --> 00:10:33.257
Whatever urgent call, please tell
her that next time she must"
00:10:34.383 --> 00:10:36.886
If anyone goes, at least they
should have the courtesy "
00:10:36.886 --> 00:10:38.596
To tell the Director that they are going"
00:10:38.596 --> 00:10:41.682
- She didn’t want to disturb you in the rehearsal that’s why
- No it’s not the disturbance"
00:10:41.682 --> 00:10:42.725
She said please inform Sam"
00:10:42.725 --> 00:10:45.436
She was looking out from the
window every five minutes "
00:10:45.436 --> 00:10:47.188
So we knew she was on the verge of going"
00:10:47.271 --> 00:10:49.774
But she must have the courtesy to say and go"
00:10:50.441 --> 00:10:51.651
That’s important"
00:10:53.527 --> 00:10:55.404
Adi was a hard taskmaster"
00:10:55.780 --> 00:10:57.531
But he was loveable all the way"
00:10:57.782 --> 00:10:59.784
But he was very strict when rehearsing"
00:10:59.992 --> 00:11:01.035
Very very strict"
00:11:01.327 --> 00:11:04.246
There was a scene you know,
we were practicing at his place"
00:11:04.664 --> 00:11:05.748
Only this much distance"
00:11:05.748 --> 00:11:08.042
Adi used to sit here and we used to sit here"
00:11:08.292 --> 00:11:09.335
And I'm supposed to"
00:11:09.752 --> 00:11:12.213
Be very sad or something - Some scene"
00:11:12.505 --> 00:11:13.673
So I was talking (mumbles)"
00:11:13.673 --> 00:11:16.092
Adi brought his chair and sat next to me"
00:11:16.258 --> 00:11:18.886
And he came right next to me here"
00:11:19.095 --> 00:11:20.971
So I was a little.. you know"
00:11:20.971 --> 00:11:24.684
I said, Adi uncle why are you sitting
so close to me? I was feeling.."
00:11:24.975 --> 00:11:28.020
He said no, when you speak"
00:11:28.020 --> 00:11:30.398
I will tell the audience to
bring their chairs in front"
00:11:30.398 --> 00:11:32.650
Because Ruby Patel is speaking"
00:11:32.650 --> 00:11:33.693
Her voice doesn't carry"
00:11:34.151 --> 00:11:36.654
- You know he would insult you in front of ten people
- Sarcastic"
00:11:37.113 --> 00:11:41.033
Sometimes I would feel like throwing
the script and running away from him"
00:11:41.409 --> 00:11:43.035
So much annoyed you are"
00:11:43.285 --> 00:11:46.914
- You are the best at all this. You teach me
- No no no"
00:11:47.498 --> 00:11:48.958
You just watch me"
00:11:49.709 --> 00:11:50.835
People don't love me"
00:11:50.876 --> 00:11:53.045
- I love you. You're my sexy lady
- Didn't you see?!"
00:11:53.462 --> 00:11:54.630
How he insulted me"
00:11:54.672 --> 00:11:56.132
All that keeps happening"
00:11:56.173 --> 00:12:00.094
It's gone! You also said that
Dolly told you to forgive and forget"
00:12:01.721 --> 00:12:03.597
So clean vibes! C'mon"
00:12:04.140 --> 00:12:05.307
Forget it"
00:12:05.850 --> 00:12:07.143
If he did it to you?"
00:12:07.393 --> 00:12:08.978
He's done it so many times!"
00:12:09.395 --> 00:12:10.146
Are you okay?"
00:12:10.146 --> 00:12:12.898
Oh I'm okay. If you want
us to do it again let's do it "
00:12:14.942 --> 00:12:16.402
Just be a little sexier"
00:12:17.153 --> 00:12:18.529
But.. But how?"
00:12:18.529 --> 00:12:19.947
I already did like this"
00:12:23.325 --> 00:12:25.202
How do I hit on an old man?"
00:12:27.747 --> 00:12:29.457
That means you're a bad actress"
00:12:30.416 --> 00:12:32.501
- It's as simple as that
- How do I hit?.."
00:12:32.752 --> 00:12:35.087
- What hit?
- You said touch him only once"
00:12:35.171 --> 00:12:36.589
It's not about touching"
00:12:37.673 --> 00:12:40.009
Whoever it is..
Even if it's a piece of rock "
00:12:40.301 --> 00:12:43.179
If the director says you
love it then you love it!"
00:12:45.598 --> 00:12:46.348
Hello.. "
00:12:47.933 --> 00:12:49.393
What's your name?"
00:12:49.393 --> 00:12:51.937
Oh how sweet"
00:12:52.563 --> 00:12:53.314
That's very.."
00:12:53.898 --> 00:12:55.524
Throw some tantrums"
00:12:55.649 --> 00:12:57.693
Shake your bottom.
Shake your boobs"
00:12:58.194 --> 00:12:59.195
Wiggle around a bit"
00:12:59.195 --> 00:13:00.696
Put your leg out like this"
00:13:01.363 --> 00:13:04.241
So the poor guy is breathless"
00:13:08.162 --> 00:13:09.997
Try it because you
know what happens is"
00:13:09.997 --> 00:13:11.415
He's trying to emote"
00:13:11.665 --> 00:13:13.042
According to this thing"
00:13:13.459 --> 00:13:15.878
But if you just encourage him a bit"
00:13:15.878 --> 00:13:17.171
Then he can emote even better "
00:13:17.505 --> 00:13:18.088
Yes?"
00:13:20.090 --> 00:13:20.925
You follow?"
00:13:21.258 --> 00:13:23.719
Some of us used to attend
the rehearsals late"
00:13:24.261 --> 00:13:26.096
He (Adi) used to just
stop the rehearsal "
00:13:26.514 --> 00:13:27.431
Let the boss come"
00:13:27.431 --> 00:13:28.641
Please come. Sit"
00:13:28.808 --> 00:13:30.518
Take your time sir, don't worry"
00:13:30.518 --> 00:13:32.102
We have just started just now"
00:13:32.478 --> 00:13:34.396
That is how he used
to sarcastically insult"
00:13:34.563 --> 00:13:37.817
And the same thing he used to
do it from stage to the audience"
00:13:37.817 --> 00:13:39.360
- Yes.
- Who used to come late"
00:13:39.819 --> 00:13:41.487
Parsis used to come late"
00:13:41.695 --> 00:13:44.281
Aristocratic people used to
come late thinking it's fine"
00:13:44.698 --> 00:13:46.909
6:30 show they'll come
at quarter to 7 / 7"
00:13:46.909 --> 00:13:48.702
Excuse me excuse me excuse me"
00:13:48.869 --> 00:13:50.704
So he will say, 'Stop the show'"
00:13:50.704 --> 00:13:52.456
'Wait a minute. Give the house light'"
00:13:53.165 --> 00:13:54.291
'Please come. Please come'"
00:13:54.458 --> 00:13:56.502
'We've just recently started,
only half an hour ago'"
00:13:56.502 --> 00:13:58.337
- 'Only half an hour you're late'
- 'Don't worry, don't worry'"
00:13:58.462 --> 00:14:00.631
And that person will feel so
embarrassed I tell you.."
00:14:00.631 --> 00:14:02.174
That fellow will never come again.."
00:14:02.341 --> 00:14:04.134
And let's make it very compact"
00:14:05.261 --> 00:14:06.178
Very official"
00:14:06.595 --> 00:14:08.514
And let not people think that "
00:14:08.514 --> 00:14:10.224
We're some 'Dhansak' Parsi show"
00:14:11.350 --> 00:14:12.142
It should not be.. "
00:14:12.768 --> 00:14:16.272
All the entries and exits should be crisp"
00:14:19.149 --> 00:14:19.942
I beg of you"
00:14:20.359 --> 00:14:22.319
Please get your ****ing focus here"
00:14:22.695 --> 00:14:23.737
And not somewhere else"
00:14:24.405 --> 00:14:25.281
That goes for.."
00:14:25.656 --> 00:14:28.701
Young lady, when are you going to
learn the lines by heart darling?"
00:14:29.368 --> 00:14:31.787
These songs and all. All
these days you're not here"
00:14:32.204 --> 00:14:33.539
But you don't know the songs"
00:14:33.539 --> 00:14:34.623
No no, she knows the songs"
00:14:34.832 --> 00:14:36.000
I was singing next to her"
00:14:36.208 --> 00:14:39.295
- I've been watching!
- #Now quietly go home everybody#"
00:14:39.295 --> 00:14:40.713
No no, you all don't sing"
00:14:40.713 --> 00:14:43.299
Baba I know that people don't know it"
00:14:43.299 --> 00:14:44.049
That's why I'm trying to"
00:14:44.049 --> 00:14:46.552
- I'm getting there..
- No you're not helping her to sing"
00:14:46.760 --> 00:14:49.680
You're only helping her to suppress everything"
00:14:49.680 --> 00:14:50.639
Start!"
00:14:51.015 --> 00:14:53.142
She's a personality by herself"
00:14:53.142 --> 00:14:55.644
That's why I want her to be exposed"
00:14:56.228 --> 00:15:00.357
#Now quietly leave and go back home#"
00:15:00.900 --> 00:15:06.447
#Else you'll be thrown out of this hall#"
00:15:07.031 --> 00:15:10.826
#Go home and relax#"
00:15:11.535 --> 00:15:15.956
#Your food will soon be ready#"
00:15:16.832 --> 00:15:21.003
#If you'd like to see our play again#"
00:15:21.378 --> 00:15:25.674
#We are always ready# "
00:15:26.050 --> 00:15:31.764
#But please make sure you buy a ticket#"
00:15:32.139 --> 00:15:41.732
#Don't be a cheapskate and expect a freebie#"
00:15:43.108 --> 00:15:44.193
You went extra"
00:15:44.568 --> 00:15:45.653
Five counts! "
00:15:46.111 --> 00:15:46.695
Alright"
00:15:47.071 --> 00:15:48.447
Thank you very much!"
00:15:48.447 --> 00:15:51.909
Sorry if I spoke in a
loud voice to anyone"
00:15:51.909 --> 00:15:53.077
Please forgive.."
00:15:53.410 --> 00:15:54.536
And forget"
00:15:56.413 --> 00:15:59.041
And then after Adi we thought
that's it, now it's over"
00:15:59.083 --> 00:16:00.960
Now I don't think
there'll be any Parsi.."
00:16:01.168 --> 00:16:03.545
So Adi's nephew, Adi Dubash "
00:16:03.545 --> 00:16:05.214
He just wanted to continue"
00:16:05.255 --> 00:16:07.591
So that is how he came in 2012"
00:16:07.967 --> 00:16:10.427
Saying that let's do something
on Adi's birthday"
00:16:10.678 --> 00:16:11.929
And he collected all of us"
00:16:11.929 --> 00:16:14.598
And that time Ruby Burjor
also came back from Dubai"
00:16:14.932 --> 00:16:15.933
After so many years"
00:16:16.141 --> 00:16:18.268
So for twenty years - Big gap"
00:16:18.686 --> 00:16:19.979
I was in Dubai "
00:16:20.479 --> 00:16:22.064
And when we came back"
00:16:23.273 --> 00:16:25.234
We never thought that
we'll be in theatre"
00:16:28.362 --> 00:16:29.571
Fortunately for us"
00:16:29.947 --> 00:16:31.699
- Laughter In The House
- Meher Marfatia's book came"
00:16:31.782 --> 00:16:33.409
The book was ready in.."
00:16:33.575 --> 00:16:34.952
2011"
00:16:35.953 --> 00:16:39.248
And at that time the actors were
not ready to even come on stage "
00:16:39.248 --> 00:16:40.749
They were a little shaky about "
00:16:40.749 --> 00:16:42.668
'Who'll come, who'll want to see us?'"
00:16:42.668 --> 00:16:44.545
'People don't even recognize us'.."
00:16:44.545 --> 00:16:46.630
That kind of thing. Lots of diffidence"
00:16:46.922 --> 00:16:51.010
I just tried to coax them and
convince them to get together"
00:16:51.051 --> 00:16:51.885
And that we'd do"
00:16:52.511 --> 00:16:53.804
Even a one-off evening"
00:16:54.471 --> 00:16:56.390
So they approached me
and I said it's a great idea"
00:16:56.390 --> 00:16:58.976
Of course again an opportunity
came for us to act"
00:16:59.101 --> 00:17:00.352
At that age"
00:17:01.270 --> 00:17:02.021
I was.."
00:17:02.354 --> 00:17:05.024
79 and Ruby was about.. "
00:17:05.149 --> 00:17:05.607
Ruby?"
00:17:06.233 --> 00:17:08.068
No age. No age.."
00:17:09.570 --> 00:17:12.156
And that's how we opened Laughter"
00:17:12.322 --> 00:17:15.034
On Adi Marzban's 98th birthday"
00:17:15.451 --> 00:17:17.244
As a kind of tribute evening"
00:17:17.745 --> 00:17:19.246
And it was just "
00:17:19.872 --> 00:17:23.625
Completely unprecedented
the kind of reaction it got"
00:17:23.667 --> 00:17:25.586
Tickets sold out within an hour"
00:17:25.586 --> 00:17:27.838
People were queueing
up from early morning"
00:17:28.005 --> 00:17:28.630
It was.. "
00:17:28.630 --> 00:17:31.759
We knew that they would
go into more shows"
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:33.052
It was a given then"
00:17:33.218 --> 00:17:34.428
There was so much.. "
00:17:35.596 --> 00:17:36.472
Euphoria"
00:17:37.306 --> 00:17:40.184
To see these olden Parsis, you know"
00:17:41.143 --> 00:17:42.644
To bring memories back"
00:17:43.187 --> 00:17:43.729
And"
00:17:44.271 --> 00:17:44.897
From the "
00:17:46.273 --> 00:17:47.274
First line.."
00:17:47.733 --> 00:17:50.027
Till the end of the show
it was nothing but"
00:17:50.402 --> 00:17:53.489
Laughter and applause,
laughter and applause.."
00:17:53.655 --> 00:17:55.699
- Laughter, I tell you!
- Wonderful experience"
00:17:55.741 --> 00:17:58.285
We had to wait for
people to stop clapping"
00:17:58.535 --> 00:18:00.746
- Right at the beginning
- Just looking at us they were clapping"
00:18:00.788 --> 00:18:03.373
Because they are seeing
all old and new characters"
00:18:03.582 --> 00:18:05.209
And we never knew what to do! "
00:18:05.209 --> 00:18:06.001
We were just standing"
00:18:06.001 --> 00:18:07.503
Ruby was next to me"
00:18:07.503 --> 00:18:09.379
Bomi was here - I said Ruby.."
00:18:09.755 --> 00:18:12.382
Just holding her hand
tight and just waiting"
00:18:12.382 --> 00:18:14.927
- It was a real pleasure being with the audience
- First entry"
00:18:14.927 --> 00:18:16.887
Every time we used to enter"
00:18:17.096 --> 00:18:18.013
Just stand"
00:18:18.055 --> 00:18:19.807
Even that musician used to wait"
00:18:19.973 --> 00:18:21.517
Till the claps got over"
00:18:21.600 --> 00:18:23.310
We had people just.."
00:18:24.186 --> 00:18:26.313
Crying because they were
laughing so much"
00:18:26.313 --> 00:18:28.065
And also a bit of.."
00:18:28.398 --> 00:18:30.901
You know being overwhelmed
by the fact that"
00:18:30.901 --> 00:18:34.988
These actors can still put up
the kind of show that they do"
00:18:35.030 --> 00:18:37.324
Just kick up their heels and
dance when they're all.."
00:18:37.324 --> 00:18:40.202
Our youngest was 68 and
70 on the first show"
00:18:40.285 --> 00:18:41.578
So you can imagine.."
00:18:46.708 --> 00:18:48.919
Uncle after that come here"
00:18:50.295 --> 00:18:53.173
- After doing that. Ya come here
- I come there"
00:18:55.717 --> 00:18:59.763
Then you do this first then
he'll stop you and tell you "
00:19:05.394 --> 00:19:06.311
Next"
00:19:07.187 --> 00:19:08.480
Hey, let's go!"
00:19:44.099 --> 00:19:47.311
And then we'll see that the urine
is coming out from here, is it?"
00:19:47.895 --> 00:19:48.770
No, blackout!"
00:19:49.021 --> 00:19:51.023
No, there's sound of water dripping"
00:19:52.691 --> 00:19:53.942
I'm feeling potty"
00:19:54.318 --> 00:19:56.195
So go to the loo it's right there"
00:19:56.778 --> 00:19:57.779
But there's no door"
00:19:57.779 --> 00:19:59.156
There's no door?!"
00:19:59.531 --> 00:20:02.242
I've always wanted to
do potty without a door"
00:20:02.242 --> 00:20:03.410
It's okay, I'll control"
00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:07.706
- Is this all coming on the video?
- Of course it is"
00:20:09.208 --> 00:20:10.709
You're feeling potty?!"
00:20:13.921 --> 00:20:14.671
Capture"
00:20:17.591 --> 00:20:19.343
Sorry. Sorry"
00:20:24.306 --> 00:20:25.724

00:20:25.724 --> 00:20:27.392
Please do not forget.."
00:20:27.434 --> 00:20:31.104
To record the introduction
for Hormuz Ragina"
00:20:31.104 --> 00:20:33.357
Tomorrow live on stage"
00:20:34.024 --> 00:20:35.359
Please do not forget"
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:37.778

00:20:38.987 --> 00:20:41.823

00:20:41.865 --> 00:20:43.575
Grand rehearsal is day after"
00:20:43.575 --> 00:20:46.745
But that doesn’t mean we won’t have
rehearsals on Friday and Saturday"
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:49.748
So please keep yourself
completely free on those days"
00:20:49.873 --> 00:20:51.625
There’s nothing apart from the show"
00:20:51.875 --> 00:20:54.628
Saturday will definitely be
in the morning at 10:30"
00:20:54.836 --> 00:20:56.255

00:22:07.659 --> 00:22:11.038

fly away with me to London"
00:22:29.848 --> 00:22:31.433

What's next? "
00:25:51.466 --> 00:25:54.803
Adi Marzban always
wanted a lot of variety"
00:25:54.803 --> 00:25:57.556
So when we did Variety Reviews"
00:25:57.889 --> 00:26:00.016
We brought in the Rubber Man"
00:26:00.183 --> 00:26:01.935
We brought in stunt people"
00:26:01.977 --> 00:26:05.021
Adi would announce that
specially for you I've brought in"
00:26:06.147 --> 00:26:09.109
Can-Can dancers all
the way from Paris"
00:26:09.150 --> 00:26:10.777
And then we'd all come "
00:26:10.777 --> 00:26:12.946
And we were not showing
off our faces also"
00:26:13.321 --> 00:26:15.282
And we were just
moving our skirts"
00:26:15.532 --> 00:26:17.367
And then so people
didn't know! "
00:26:17.367 --> 00:26:19.452
That we were men actually"
00:26:19.744 --> 00:26:21.871
And men with mustaches
and all. You see?"
00:26:22.038 --> 00:26:24.874
So finally when the
skirts came down"
00:26:25.041 --> 00:26:27.544
And we started
using our pins to "
00:26:28.628 --> 00:26:29.921
To blow up our boobs "
00:26:29.921 --> 00:26:31.172

00:26:31.381 --> 00:26:33.341
That everyone knew
that oh my God!"
00:26:33.341 --> 00:26:34.634

00:29:29.976 --> 00:29:30.602
Oh!"
00:29:31.644 --> 00:29:32.896
You know why, 'Oh'?"
00:29:33.521 --> 00:29:35.982
You just visualise
how the doorbell rang"
00:29:40.278 --> 00:29:41.196
Are you good in bed?"
00:29:41.196 --> 00:29:42.864
Look at her asking
me again and again!"
00:29:44.365 --> 00:29:44.949
Tell me!"
00:29:44.949 --> 00:29:46.451
She's just stuck on this "
00:29:49.120 --> 00:29:50.914
Just think madam, just think"
00:29:51.414 --> 00:29:53.374
Just think - How did
the doorbell ring? "
00:29:54.542 --> 00:29:55.251
Oh"
00:29:55.585 --> 00:29:57.504
Not two 'Oh's'. Only one 'Oh'"
00:29:57.796 --> 00:29:59.506
There will be a blackout here"
00:30:03.343 --> 00:30:05.553
- You go down and then come up
- Poor Jasmine.."
00:30:05.553 --> 00:30:07.138
We can't wait"
00:30:09.140 --> 00:30:09.808
Oh! "
00:30:10.183 --> 00:30:11.476
Then blackout"
00:30:12.268 --> 00:30:14.938
Or may I suggest for
the last one come"
00:30:15.230 --> 00:30:18.733
Close to him so that when he says
it you can just go back a step"
00:30:19.275 --> 00:30:19.609
Good idea"
00:30:19.609 --> 00:30:22.153
Instead of getting stuck
in that one position"
00:30:23.488 --> 00:30:24.113
Tell me!"
00:30:24.364 --> 00:30:26.032
Don't come too close now"
00:30:27.116 --> 00:30:28.284
Tell me"
00:30:28.785 --> 00:30:29.869
Are you good in bed?"
00:30:30.370 --> 00:30:31.371
Are you good in bed?"
00:30:31.579 --> 00:30:32.664
Madam just think"
00:30:32.664 --> 00:30:33.998
How did the doorbell ring?"
00:30:34.624 --> 00:30:35.208
Oh!"
00:30:35.750 --> 00:30:36.626
Blackout"
00:30:39.337 --> 00:30:40.338
Okay now.."
00:30:41.047 --> 00:30:44.259
Dearest Father-in-law,
you do not have to worry"
00:30:44.259 --> 00:30:46.845
Because I am rolling in money"
00:30:47.095 --> 00:30:48.304
This is my card"
00:30:49.806 --> 00:30:51.057
F.T. Shroff"
00:30:51.266 --> 00:30:53.268
Income tax officer?!"
00:30:53.935 --> 00:30:55.144
- Oh my!
- Blackout"
00:30:56.437 --> 00:30:57.313
When he falls"
00:30:57.564 --> 00:30:59.065
He’ll fall like this.."
00:30:59.107 --> 00:31:00.191
No no, you don’t try now"
00:31:00.191 --> 00:31:01.943
Sam! What are you doing?"
00:31:02.652 --> 00:31:03.695
He'll do it, don't worry"
00:31:04.112 --> 00:31:06.865
I think he wants to go so
the kids are teasing him"
00:31:06.865 --> 00:31:09.784
Howzat! Howzat"
00:31:09.784 --> 00:31:10.493
Blackout"
00:31:20.753 --> 00:31:22.130
We can't see Dinyar"
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:25.174
- Because you're covering him
- Good. Good"
00:31:25.383 --> 00:31:26.384
People want to see me"
00:31:26.801 --> 00:31:28.595
At this age also, it's good"
00:31:31.097 --> 00:31:33.474
- Amazing huh?
- Please tell me again"
00:31:35.310 --> 00:31:36.477
What just happened?"
00:31:38.021 --> 00:31:40.648
Dinyar called his
physiotherapist downstairs"
00:31:41.107 --> 00:31:43.818
To have his session.
He wouldn't cancel it"
00:31:45.278 --> 00:31:48.031
I think what appealed to audiences"
00:31:48.072 --> 00:31:51.492
What they really were excited
about and appreciated was that"
00:31:51.993 --> 00:31:53.828
Everything was a lot more fluid "
00:31:53.828 --> 00:31:55.747
Everything was a lot more casual"
00:31:55.747 --> 00:31:58.458
Even the relationships between the sexes were.."
00:31:58.791 --> 00:32:00.919
It was very regular"
00:32:00.919 --> 00:32:03.463
Nothing was terribly taboo"
00:32:03.463 --> 00:32:05.006
And I think that ease.. "
00:32:05.006 --> 00:32:05.924
They loved that"
00:32:05.924 --> 00:32:08.092
And that ease coupled with humour "
00:32:08.092 --> 00:32:09.886
Was just a fantastic blend"
00:32:10.386 --> 00:32:13.097
There's no need to do it
at the edge of the balcony!"
00:32:13.222 --> 00:32:14.807
Madam! Madam! Madam!"
00:32:15.266 --> 00:32:16.809
At the edge of this balcony"
00:32:17.352 --> 00:32:19.520
Under the sunlight if we do it"
00:32:19.979 --> 00:32:21.773
Then the baby will have a glow on it"
00:32:25.526 --> 00:32:26.235
Madam"
00:32:26.653 --> 00:32:30.239
It must be so good for a woman to
see the little one grow in front of you"
00:32:32.450 --> 00:32:33.368
For this one"
00:32:33.368 --> 00:32:35.870
For this one I needed
an umbrella (condom)"
00:32:35.912 --> 00:32:37.956
Otherwise my equipment
would get all wet-wet"
00:32:39.582 --> 00:32:42.919
But madam, so much difficulty.
So much difficulty"
00:32:43.044 --> 00:32:44.921
The little one just
refused to stand up!"
00:32:47.632 --> 00:32:48.841
I kid you not"
00:32:51.344 --> 00:32:52.637
He stood up, and slipped down"
00:32:52.637 --> 00:32:54.097
Stood up. Slipped down "
00:32:56.015 --> 00:32:58.935
#It's now or never#"
00:32:59.352 --> 00:33:01.270
#We're in a plight#"
00:33:02.605 --> 00:33:04.941
#The community is dwindling#"
00:33:06.025 --> 00:33:08.111

00:33:24.836 --> 00:33:27.338
#Why do you build me up?#"
00:33:27.964 --> 00:33:31.300
#Buttercup baby, just to let me down#"
00:33:31.634 --> 00:33:34.846
#And mess me around
And then worst of all#"
00:33:35.263 --> 00:33:38.307
#You never call baby
When you say you will#"
00:33:39.100 --> 00:33:40.351
#But I love you still#"
00:33:40.351 --> 00:33:41.519
#I need you#"
00:33:42.228 --> 00:33:44.313
#More than anyone darling#"
00:33:44.522 --> 00:33:45.440
#You know that..#"
00:33:48.276 --> 00:33:49.777
#So build me up#"
00:33:49.986 --> 00:33:52.947
#Buttercup, don't break my heart#"
00:33:53.448 --> 00:33:56.367
I don't know the words and
I need to practice it as well"
00:33:56.617 --> 00:33:57.660
That was awesome"
00:34:02.081 --> 00:34:04.083
#My heart is weak#"
00:34:04.083 --> 00:34:06.294
#My kidneys have a leak#"
00:34:06.878 --> 00:34:09.213
#Still I drink my whiskey#"
00:34:09.255 --> 00:34:11.215
#Still I drink my whiskey#"
00:34:11.674 --> 00:34:13.426
#I walk using a stick#"
00:34:13.426 --> 00:34:15.970

00:34:16.554 --> 00:34:18.556
#I look at a pretty girl#"
00:34:18.556 --> 00:34:21.267
#And flash a toothy smile#"
00:34:21.768 --> 00:34:23.352
#Because I#"
00:34:23.811 --> 00:34:25.563
#You know..#"
00:34:25.897 --> 00:34:30.610
#I am young at heart,
young at heart, Parsi..#"
00:34:30.610 --> 00:34:31.360
Repeat"
00:34:31.444 --> 00:34:32.987
#My heart is weak#"
00:34:32.987 --> 00:34:35.031
#My kidneys have a leak#"
00:34:35.490 --> 00:34:37.492

00:34:50.671 --> 00:34:53.257

#Coz I, you know#"
00:34:58.971 --> 00:35:02.225
#I am young at heart,

00:35:02.225 --> 00:35:06.062
#Parsi#"
00:35:11.359 --> 00:35:12.068
Ola"
00:35:12.443 --> 00:35:13.361
Tomorrow 6 o'clock"
00:35:15.071 --> 00:35:16.572
Tomorrow 6 o'clock"
00:35:28.584 --> 00:35:29.585
How sweet"
00:35:29.585 --> 00:35:31.420
- Bye guys. See you all
- Thank you everyone"
00:35:31.420 --> 00:35:33.214
- Goodnight everyone
- Bye darling"
00:35:33.214 --> 00:35:33.714
"
00:35:33.714 --> 00:35:35.716
- God bless. Goodnight
- See ya"
00:35:58.948 --> 00:36:00.241
Bomi's come"
00:36:01.117 --> 00:36:02.577
Hi Bomi"
00:36:11.627 --> 00:36:12.920
It was very emotional "
00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:14.839
When Bomi came to the rehearsal"
00:36:14.839 --> 00:36:15.965
Specially for Bomi"
00:36:15.965 --> 00:36:18.509
He came. He came the
next day to the rehearsal!"
00:36:18.759 --> 00:36:20.344
We were about to cancel the show"
00:36:21.053 --> 00:36:22.305
Bomi phones me and said"
00:36:22.722 --> 00:36:24.473
'Burjor please don't cancel the show'"
00:36:25.433 --> 00:36:27.351
- Dolly will not like it
- I'll do it"
00:36:29.270 --> 00:36:31.022
He came to the rehearsal"
00:36:31.022 --> 00:36:32.356
I mean, we were all stunned"
00:36:32.356 --> 00:36:34.775
The show must go on. His philosophy
- The show must go on.."
00:36:35.026 --> 00:36:36.777
Under any circumstances"
00:36:52.376 --> 00:36:53.044
Ah! "
00:36:53.294 --> 00:36:53.961
Tired.."
00:36:55.671 --> 00:36:57.340
Dance while entering"
00:37:03.721 --> 00:37:05.765
Yes, come dancing"
00:37:12.230 --> 00:37:13.314
Mobiles off"
00:37:15.483 --> 00:37:16.234
Excuse me"
00:37:17.735 --> 00:37:18.361
Sorry"
00:37:18.361 --> 00:37:19.904
Yes, tell me brother? Sorry"
00:37:21.572 --> 00:37:23.741
No, just come at four in the evening"
00:37:24.242 --> 00:37:25.493
Yes, it's at four"
00:37:26.535 --> 00:37:27.995
Who is missing over here?"
00:37:30.289 --> 00:37:31.958
It started with our being young"
00:37:31.958 --> 00:37:34.627
Getting married, getting old and then.."
00:37:34.627 --> 00:37:37.046
The children leaving you and you're all alone"
00:37:37.088 --> 00:37:39.173
So what happens when you're all alone?"
00:37:39.173 --> 00:37:42.551
Then he (Adi) did a sequel called Asha Nirasha"
00:37:42.802 --> 00:37:44.595
In that we are two alone"
00:37:44.845 --> 00:37:47.682
And then he's having some problem,
I'm having some problem"
00:37:48.099 --> 00:37:50.017
And one of us has to die"
00:37:50.476 --> 00:37:51.477
So it was me"
00:37:51.477 --> 00:37:54.438
I had to die on stage and he's left all alone"
00:38:01.362 --> 00:38:03.489
Bomi: All good things must end"
00:38:03.489 --> 00:38:05.032
She lived her life"
00:38:05.032 --> 00:38:05.658
She's happy"
00:38:29.557 --> 00:38:31.392
When she dies in Asha Nirasha"
00:38:32.184 --> 00:38:34.895
Adi Marzban told me
'Bomi if you'll cry naturally’"
00:38:34.895 --> 00:38:36.564
'I'll give you one rupee per show'"
00:38:37.690 --> 00:38:38.941
And I cried!"
00:38:39.525 --> 00:38:40.026
I cried"
00:38:40.026 --> 00:38:42.570
I immediately thought that she's actually dead"
00:38:42.570 --> 00:38:44.030
That's all. And I cried"
00:38:44.030 --> 00:38:45.239
He didn't give me one rupee"
00:38:46.407 --> 00:38:47.658
But it was a gesture"
00:38:47.658 --> 00:38:49.577
It was a very good gesture on his part"
00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:52.413
Let's just say that from 44,000"
00:38:52.413 --> 00:38:55.166
We are down to 43,998"
00:38:55.499 --> 00:38:57.710
Dear Lord! But seriously Mister Irani"
00:38:57.710 --> 00:38:59.337
When there was one lakh of us"
00:38:59.337 --> 00:39:00.463
We were called a tribe"
00:39:00.755 --> 00:39:01.339
And now?!"
00:39:01.339 --> 00:39:02.882
Now we're down to a cricket team!"
00:39:03.007 --> 00:39:03.591
Cricket?!"
00:39:03.591 --> 00:39:06.844
Soon there won't even be a
partner to play carrom with"
00:39:09.221 --> 00:39:10.264
Papa has also come?"
00:39:10.264 --> 00:39:11.515
- Yes
- Oh very good!"
00:39:16.479 --> 00:39:18.189
Okay. Ruby Aunty. Come"
00:39:18.189 --> 00:39:19.273
We'll start"
00:39:19.899 --> 00:39:21.025
She (Dolly) was taking it twice"
00:39:21.025 --> 00:39:22.026
You'll take it only once"
00:39:22.026 --> 00:39:23.527
My pitch okay"
00:39:23.527 --> 00:39:25.529
Because Dolly has a
higher pitch than me"
00:39:26.030 --> 00:39:27.573
Let's do it"
00:39:28.074 --> 00:39:29.867
Start. You give me the.. "
00:39:29.867 --> 00:39:31.285
I'll tell you when to start"
00:39:33.120 --> 00:39:34.538
You stay right here!"
00:39:36.749 --> 00:39:40.961
#Our Dear Adi Marzban#"
00:39:41.045 --> 00:39:41.712
Sit"
00:39:43.297 --> 00:39:46.217
#He used to be a storm#"
00:39:48.052 --> 00:39:51.430
#In his beloved memory we present#"
00:39:52.223 --> 00:39:54.683
#This program of ours#"
00:39:54.850 --> 00:39:56.685
Our today's programme?"
00:39:58.604 --> 00:39:59.105
Again"
00:39:59.438 --> 00:40:01.190
When he called in the morning"
00:40:01.732 --> 00:40:04.068
He said she was just having
a cup of tea with me"
00:40:05.069 --> 00:40:05.569
And.."
00:40:05.820 --> 00:40:06.821
She passed away"
00:40:06.821 --> 00:40:07.530
He said Ruby.."
00:40:07.530 --> 00:40:09.907
Without saying a word or
nothing, she was gone"
00:40:09.949 --> 00:40:11.409
Dolly's not there"
00:40:11.409 --> 00:40:13.452

00:40:13.452 --> 00:40:15.579
No. She's not there!"
00:40:16.205 --> 00:40:18.124

There was one scene "
00:41:33.282 --> 00:41:34.742
In which I have to slap him"
00:41:35.451 --> 00:41:37.411
You know he's on the phone
and he's telling something"
00:41:37.411 --> 00:41:39.413
'Vote for elephant or vote for broom'"
00:41:39.872 --> 00:41:40.873
And I used to slap him"
00:41:40.873 --> 00:41:42.666
You know I dislocated my hand"
00:41:43.209 --> 00:41:45.127
Luckily it was the last scene and 'Smack!' "
00:41:45.127 --> 00:41:46.545
I gave him so tight"
00:41:46.962 --> 00:41:50.049
Then after the show I had
to go to the bone setter"
00:41:50.758 --> 00:41:52.635
She used to break a record on my head also"
00:41:52.635 --> 00:41:54.803
- Ya I had to take the record and 'Smash'!
- In one of the plays"
00:41:55.054 --> 00:41:56.347
Literally break it okay"
00:41:56.347 --> 00:41:57.306
On my head"
00:41:57.681 --> 00:41:58.390
She broke it"
00:41:58.390 --> 00:42:00.267
So on stage we are the character"
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:02.645
We are not what we are at home"
00:42:02.645 --> 00:42:03.604
It's different"
00:42:04.313 --> 00:42:05.731
And you know always before the show "
00:42:05.731 --> 00:42:07.816
I always get something in my stomach"
00:42:08.192 --> 00:42:09.109

00:42:31.507 --> 00:42:32.675

00:42:33.801 --> 00:42:37.388
The fifty shades of grey have to go

00:42:39.348 --> 00:42:41.308
The fifty shades of grey look very nice"
00:42:41.850 --> 00:42:43.894
But not with a leather jacket and all"
00:42:43.894 --> 00:42:44.895

I'd like to see her and meet her"
00:54:59.796 --> 00:55:02.674
You want to meet her? Then
go up there. She's gone"
00:55:04.759 --> 00:55:05.677
She’s dead?!"
00:55:05.677 --> 00:55:08.680
Oh she died at a very young age"
00:55:09.264 --> 00:55:10.265
How so young?"
00:55:10.265 --> 00:55:12.934
She was a product of China -
How could she last long?"
00:55:23.069 --> 00:55:26.531
#Over the sea the moonlight dancing#"
00:55:27.365 --> 00:55:31.119
#Waking thought of tender feeling#"
00:55:31.828 --> 00:55:35.915
#I can see your eyes reflecting#"
00:55:37.334 --> 00:55:40.879
#Of the times we used to meet#"
00:55:41.421 --> 00:55:45.258
#As I passed a lovely garden#"
00:55:45.925 --> 00:55:49.471
#Breathing scent of many blossom#"
00:55:50.263 --> 00:55:53.350
#With the memory and the picture#"
00:55:53.975 --> 00:55:57.979
#Of but you within my heart#"
00:55:58.855 --> 00:56:02.567
#Say not farewell you're leaving#"
00:56:03.401 --> 00:56:07.072
#This poor heart of mine is grieving#"
00:56:07.697 --> 00:56:11.659
#Can it be that you've forgotten?#"
00:56:13.536 --> 00:56:16.331
#Can it be that love is gone?#"
00:56:17.624 --> 00:56:21.586
#Say not farewell#"
00:56:22.921 --> 00:56:26.049
#And leave a heart that's broken#"
00:56:26.758 --> 00:56:28.343
#Come back to..#"
00:56:29.219 --> 00:56:31.096
#..Sorrento#"
00:56:31.388 --> 00:56:33.056
#That I..#"
00:56:35.016 --> 00:56:39.854
#..May leave#"
00:56:42.232 --> 00:56:43.691
I dedicate this song"
00:56:43.691 --> 00:56:45.902
To my beloved wife Dolly"
00:57:02.794 --> 00:57:06.464
#Why did you leave me like that and go?#"
00:57:08.466 --> 00:57:11.928
#Why did you break my heart like that?#"
00:57:14.597 --> 00:57:18.560
#Why did you make me lose sight of you?#"
00:57:20.270 --> 00:57:24.232
#Why did you go and leave me hanging?#"
00:57:26.192 --> 00:57:30.780
#Tehmina please come back to me#"
00:57:32.073 --> 00:57:36.786
#Come back to our home#"
00:57:37.954 --> 00:57:43.001
#Don't let me bear this heartbreak alone#"
00:57:43.918 --> 00:57:48.256
#Come back to our home#"
00:57:56.014 --> 00:57:59.392
#Who will go to the bazaar for me?#"
00:58:00.101 --> 00:58:03.313
#Who will feed my parrot (inuendo)?#"
00:58:05.982 --> 00:58:09.486
#Who will..#"
00:58:12.113 --> 00:58:15.533
#Take care of me?#"
00:58:16.618 --> 00:58:21.623
#Who will sew on my broken buttons?#"
00:58:22.790 --> 00:58:27.253
#Tehmi come back again#"
00:58:28.671 --> 00:58:33.551
#Come back to our home again#"
00:58:35.512 --> 00:58:42.227
#Let's forget what happened in the past#"
00:58:43.520 --> 00:58:45.438
#Come back..#"
00:58:48.233 --> 00:58:51.819
#..And be mine again#"
00:59:03.915 --> 00:59:06.209
And I used to say
#Men are nasty and wicked#"
00:59:06.876 --> 00:59:08.211
#Men are nasty and wicked#"
00:59:08.211 --> 00:59:10.296
#Loafers, rogues, scoundrels#"
00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:12.465
#Don't listen to their lies#"
00:59:12.465 --> 00:59:14.801
#Put your ears to the ground#"
00:59:15.093 --> 00:59:18.513
#Throw them out of this world#"
00:59:18.930 --> 00:59:21.057
#Out of this world..#"
00:59:22.016 --> 00:59:23.184
I can't sing further"
00:59:24.394 --> 00:59:26.646
Because you will be watching this on stage"
00:59:49.460 --> 00:59:51.838
- Last song
- Last song. Last song!"
00:59:58.011 --> 01:00:01.723
#Now quietly leave for home#"
01:00:01.973 --> 01:00:06.185
#Else you will be thrown out of the hall#"
01:00:06.394 --> 01:00:10.481
#Go home and relax#"
01:00:10.898 --> 01:00:15.028
#Your food will soon be ready#"
01:00:15.570 --> 01:00:19.240
#If you'd like to see our play again#"
01:00:19.574 --> 01:00:23.161
#We are always ready and willing#"
01:00:23.703 --> 01:00:28.499
#But please ensure you buy a ticket#"
01:00:29.626 --> 01:00:37.383
#Don't be a cheapskate and expect a freebie#"
01:00:38.217 --> 01:00:40.720
- Encore!
