As we come out of the song, Rama lets herself into Sapna's room. She finds
Sapna still in front of the mirror, lost in her daydreaming. When Sapna realizes
that she isn't alone, she jumps up with a start. Rama asks her why she looks so
giddy and flushed, but Sapna playfully refuses to tell her anything.
The
next morning we join Raghu as he searches for Suraj. He finds him sleeping on a
windowsill, where he is dreaming happily about Sapna. Raghu desperately pleads
with Suraj to come with him. Suraj would rather go back to sleep and continue
dreaming, but Raghu insists. He tells Suraj that he had a fare earlier (the
passenger's name was Shersingh) who refused to pay the fee and slapped him in
the head. Suraj doesn't see where this has anything to do with him, but Raghu
asks him for help. Suraj says he'll pay the fare that Raghu is owed, but that's
not what Raghu is after. He wants revenge for this insult, and needs Suraj for
backup.
Suraj and Raghu argue for longer than is really necessary over who has the
more pressing need - Raghu for his money and vengeance or Suraj for his dreams
of Sapna. Finally Suraj is badgered enough and he goes off with Raghu to deal
with the fearsome Shersingh. They ride through the busy streets in Raghu's auto
rickshaw, and stop at a busy intersection. As Raghu gripes about how bad the
traffic has become lately, Suraj notices that the car idling next to them has
none other than Sapna sitting in the back seat!
Raghu's
blathering is muted by the sappy synth soundtrack since Suraj seeks solace
simply staring sweetly at Sapna.
As you may have noticed, I'm a fan of
alliteration. I asked some friends for alternate takes on that last
sentence, so here's another one if you prefer: "The
saccharine synth silences Raghu’s sniveling since Suraj seeks solace simply
staring sweetly; seeing Sapna." Thanks to Cyd's Brain Trust for that one!
She notices his leering, and looks bashful. As
he continues to moon over her, she begins to warm up to him a little and smiles
back just as the light changes. Her driver pulls out and leaves the auto
rickshaw sitting at the light. Inspired, Suraj tells Raghu to "follow that car!"
Raghu hits the gas and takes off after them. They have a less than exciting
little chase as Suraj urges Raghu to catch up to them. Finally his
dissatisfaction with Raghu's driving takes over, and Suraj tells him to get in
the backseat while he drives. This is done while the car is in motion, mind you.
Sapna and her drivers look back at the lunacy that is unfolding behind them and
begin looking concerned.
Suraj
firmly believes that by popping a wheelie he can somehow get more speed, so
that's what he does. I'd guess that it took a little more speed than they have
to maintain this maneuver, but I'll admit I am woefully lacking in my knowledge
of how to handle an auto rickshaw. Suraj (or the film editor) soon prove me
wrong though, as he does catch up to the car. He doesn't do much other than to
give Sapna a big dopey smile as he drives along side her car. She smiles back at
him, but the guys in the front seat have had about enough of Suraj's
showboating.
They peel out and swerve a little to get rid of Suraj. This meets with
limited success as Suraj catches right back up with them again. The driver
reaches for a pistol (!) from his jacket, but the other guy up front indicates
that this is a bad idea. Instead they swerve again and get Suraj to drive down a
street marked "no entry." This leads us to a lot of carts being knocked over and
people clearing the way before they're mowed down as the auto rickshaw hurtles
past. They spend a lot of time up on two wheels narrowly dodging oncoming
traffic before emerging back out onto the main street, ahead of Sapna's car.
More
swerving and quasi-exciting chase footage follows. Suraj turns the auto rickshaw
down a long flight of stairs to take a shortcut, but he ends up rolling it onto
its side, and is forced to give up the chase. Raghu berates Suraj for damaging
his car, since he had to pawn his mother's jewelry to buy it in the first place.
They get the cart back up onto the wheels and head off to complete the original
mission - get Raghu's fare with a side order of revenge.
Raghu points out the building that Shersingh lives in. Suraj tells him to go
and call Shersingh out of the building to get his money. Suraj then scoots
into the backseat for a nap. He tells Raghu that if he is in trouble, he should
just whistle loudly and he will come to the rescue. Raghu doesn't look very
confident, but he goes ahead with the plan while Suraj makes himself
comfortable.
