A
quick cut takes us over to Rahul's place, where he is lying comatose in a lawn
chair. We see off to the side of the shot that Manmo and company have arrived.
He taps Rahul on the leg to bring him around, and points out that Rashmi is
here. Boom, sweet love music kicks in as they look at each other with the cutest
googly-eyes I've seen outside of grade school. Manmo says that lovers who have a
misunderstanding then reconcile will have their love grow stronger as a result.
Kind of like how once you break a bone, when it heals it is much stronger in
that place. Okay, he didn't say the stuff about the bone, but if you think about
it, that really applies here. Moving on... Manmo and Chandan leave the two
lovebirds alone to work out the details.
Rashmi
sits down next to Rahul, who can barely bring himself to look her in the eye
now. She turns his face towards her, and they just start smooching like it's
going out of style. They come up for air after a bit, and Rahul suggests that
the two of them should go off on a trip to get away from all of this hoopla
surrounding them.
After an emphatic nod from Rashmi, they teleport to their vacation via our
next musical number, "Churaliya Chain Tumne." This song mostly consists of the
same two lines repeated
ad nauseam while the two of them
roll around on the beach, casting smoldering glances at each other.
Now that these two are back on track, we really should check in on Mallika.
What a surprise - she's at home, drinking booze. Jaidev comes over to see her,
and notices that she's looking like five miles of bad road. He points out a few
good facts - she's miserable, Rahul is having the time of his life. She's slowly
killing herself with substance abuse, Rahul is making merry with his new
ladyfriend. He tells her that this is no way to conduct herself.
Mallika
thinks about what he's said. She tells him that he's right - she shouldn't be
killing herself like this. It would be much more appropriate if Rahul would die!
She says that she wishes she had killed him with her own two hands when she had
the chance. Jaidev says that he will be more than happy to help her out with
this project, so Mallika gives the green light for him to go and kill Rahul.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, yes the music was building up
dramatically during that scene. Yes, it did end abruptly when the scene changed,
thank you very much.
We now find ourselves looking at a decent sized boat out in the sea. A jump
cut shows Mallika on her cell phone, calling Jaidev. She asks him where he is,
and he says that he's reached Goa. She asks him why he's taken off to Goa all of
a sudden. He replies in plain language that he's there to kill Rahul just like
she told him to. Mallika realizes what's happening and tells Jaidev to abort the
mission. Mallika explains that she was drunk and emotional at the time she said
that, and she doesn't really want him to kill Rahul. Jaidev says that's too bad,
since he also wanted Rahul dead in the first place and he's going through with
this.
Mallika
tries several different arguments to get him to call this off, but Jaidev is
convinced that this is the only way he can stop the pain that Rahul is causing
her. Jaidev tells her that he can feel every bit of pain that she feels, and
that her tears burn him like acid. This is all because he loves Mallika! I've
got some pointers for your sweet-talking techniques when you have some time,
Jaidev. Mallika is shocked by this revelation, and is rendered speechless.
We cut to Jaidev knocking on the door to the place Rahul and Rashmi are
staying in. Rashmi lets him in, and is surprised to have him visiting. He
ignores her questions as to the nature of his visit, and asks her where Rahul
is. A jump cut reveals that Rahul is ... well he's not at home. He answers his
cell phone and hears nothing at first. Another jump cut shows Jaidev on the deck
of a boat, pacing back and forth as he holds his phone to his ear. Up on the
bridge of the ship we can see that Rashmi has been taken captive, and is tied to
something with her hands behind her!
