Throughout
the song, we see a variety of reactions from Tony. He starts off looking bored
and sleepy, but as the song goes on he is clearly smitten with Sapna (and
really, can't say as I blame him). Goli notices this as well, and wears an
expression of "Hmm, we'll have to address this at a later time, my good man." Or
something like that. After the show, Sapna is outside getting swarmed with fans.
Tony is among them, and is pushed around a little by one of the security guards.
He fights back, making a loud scene about why the guard is hassling a fan of
Sapna's. Sapna looks over and asks him to calm down. Tony immediately goes quiet
and doe-eyed. He offers a pad of paper to her, but her manager tells her they
have to get going to a recording session. Tony stares at her with an altogether
uncomfortably intense gaze as she looks back at him with a tough to read
expression.
We
cut away to what I assume is Tony and Goli's place. Tony is sitting on the mat
on the floor and smoking a cigarette while Goli sleeps on the floor next to him.
Tony's mind wanders off and he lets his cigarette touch Goli's arm, waking him
up very quickly and loudly. Goli complains that he was dreaming that Tony was
lighting his funeral pyre. In fact, all of his dreams are of Tony killing him in
some fashion or another. He notices that the ashtray is remarkably full for this
time of the night, and asks Tony what has him up so late. Tony doesn't reply,
but gets the dopiest look on his face I think I've ever seen. Goli does some
quick thinking and correctly assumes that Tony's been up thinking about Ms.
Sapna. Goli is amused by this, but then tries to bring Tony back to Earth. He
tells Tony that Sapna is out of his reach. Tony gets angry at this, and says
that he's a big enough influence in the city to get her attention. Goli thinks
of Tony's accomplishments, and comes up with a short list - his face is in every
police station in town, and all the other "rogues" on the street respect him.
While that is saying something, he doesn't think that these are qualities that
will impress the young lady. Tony makes a little "just you wait and see" speech,
and we end the scene.
The next day we are on location at a video shoot.
The crowd of onlookers is
being a bit unruly and the security team is having a hard time keeping them
under control. They even go so far as to bump into the little table Sapna is
sitting at and causing a scene. Finally an authoritative voice tells everyone to
get the hell back and stop bothering the lady for crying out loud. (I'm
summarizing here. This actually takes a while.)
Of
course the man in charge is Tony, and Sapna watches him with a curious
expression. Impressed with what he's seen, Pankaj approaches Tony and voices his
thanks. He has chairs and drinks brought over for Tony and Goli while they watch
the choreographer go over some moves with the lead male dancer. However, he's
just not getting it right. I'm not sure how hard it is to lift your knee up, but
for some reason the guy can't do it right. The rehearsal ends up looking more
like a self defense class with everyone jamming their knees up over and over
again. Tony makes the observation that the guy stinks. Goli teases him and asks
if he thinks he could do better. Tony replies that of course he could, and asks
the director if he can give it a shot. Sapna encourages the director to go with
it, and we segue into the next song - "Chitti Dudh."
Okay, I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to the musical numbers. I've seen
some that were perhaps a little rough around the edges or even a little bit
silly. However, this one has some problems. I like the song - it's catchy and
fun. However, we get Bobby Deol in a vest that closely resembles a life jacket
for the first part, and poor Priyanka not even coming close on the lip synch in
the later verse. Not to mention Bobby just doesn't look much like a dancer. I'm
not qualified to really critique anyone's moves as such, but he's clearly not as
flexible as Salman Khan, or Aamir Khan. Put him next to the very fluid
movements of Ms. Chopra and he stands out in stark contrast. And with that, I
conclude the most over-analytical comment I've ever made on this website.
