A young boy comes running in (I don't think their hideout is all that secret) and tells them that Murli is looking for them. This is met with a groaning disdain by the Pastel Shirt Mafia. RJ asks them why don't they go when Murli calls them. They explain that he wants them to play with the younger kids, and that it's a real drag, man. RJ tells them they need to play well with others (in a tough, gangster-like manner). He also adds that anyone who plays in the game will be treated to a night at the movies. At this announcement, they all happily head out.
A
soccer match is underway, and the teams seem to be a little unbalanced. From
what I can gather, ages 13 and up are on one team, and anyone younger than that
is on the other. The big kids have a blast pushing the little ones down, and
winning rather easily. RJ steps in to even the odds a little bit by tripping and
interfering with the big kids.
Things are going fine when Bela shows up and starts distracting RJ by just standing there. The kids wrap up the game and start asking about the movie. RJ tells the kids to go ahead and get ready, while he goes to get Murli. When Bela hears that Murli is going as well, she says that she wants to come too. They all run off while RJ lingers a moment with a suspicious look on his face.
Once they are at the theater, RJ shows up alone. Bela asks why Murli isn't with him. RJ tells her that he never intended to bring him, and that this was payback for the time she refused to go to the movies with him when they were kids. Bela is reasonably upset about this, and asks what harm would have come if he'd brought Murli too. They are shushed by the other moviegoers, and Bela grumbles a while as she stares at the screen.
In the movie they are watching, a song gets started as the heroine dances around a campfire. As they watch, RJ begins imagining Bela in the scene, and brings us into the next song!
"Chori Chori Chal" is a traditional song, with lots of interesting costumes and a cool sound. This one is clearly a fantasy, so no questions there.

One thing I did notice in this song, as well as in "Phainkh Hawa Mein" is they've incorporated a little move where it looks like RJ is knocking Bela's face around. Not like he's slapping her or anything, but he constantly pushes her face back and forth by the chin in time to the music. Just found that a little odd.

When
the song is over we find RJ is back in his room, smoking and staring up at the
ceiling. We see that Murli is outside looking pensive. A pair of hands covers
his eyes, and he angrily yanks them away. Bela is there, and says that she knows
Murli is angry at her for going to the movies without telling him. She also says
that he keeps hiding his love for her. That seemed a little out of left field to
me, but perhaps this has been building up off-screen. Murli tells her that he
doesn't love her. She says she isn't buying it, because she can see it in his
eyes. She tells him that at his word, she's willing to give up the world for
him.
He gets kind of wispy here, and tells her to give her world to the one who has none. He says he has many loved ones in his life, and to see their lives improve is his only dream. Bela asks about her dreams, and he replies "ram jaane."
