Raju
asks if Grandpa is home, and goes off into the house calling out for him. Rajesh
chases after him and they both exit the shot. An ominous chord strikes as we see
Rinkie looking at the old picture of her father with Meghna. Rajesh comes back
into the room and tells her not to believe anything Raju says. She defiantly
tells him that this picture can't be a fake (why not?), and repeatedly tells
Rajesh "shame on you Daddy!" Rajesh protests that he is not what they think he
is, and Bunty agrees. Rajesh is not the man they thought he was at all. Raju
begins to laugh as Smita comes into the room. Rajesh tells her not to believe
anything Raju has told her. She tells Raju that she has lost faith in the man
she used to worship. Raju tells her that it was because of Rajesh that his own
mother has died. Grandpa comes into the room at this point and we see a similar
process.
Grandpa
is so infuriated that he tells the housekeeping staff to throw him out. Outside
we see Raju and Rajesh on the driveway as suitcases and other sundries are
thrown off the balcony above. The gatekeeper tells him that he no longer
recognizes him as a member of the family, and if he comes back to the house
he'll be beaten with a stick. Raju tells Rajesh not to worry, they can sell off
Rajesh's belongings to get some money. Rajesh begins strangling Raju, but we
jump cut to the bedroom where Rajesh is strangling his pillow in his sleep. See?
It was all a dream. Whew!
Smita
is alarmed by the violent nightmares that Rajesh has been having, and runs off
to get Grandpa to try and calm him down. The family doctor is summoned to the
house where he finally manages to get Rajesh under control. He explains to the
family that he is disturbed, but seems to be unwilling to tell anyone what is
upsetting him so much. He tells the family that he'll write a prescription for
stress medicine and that he should be fine in the morning. The family leaves the
room and Rajesh tries to go back to sleep. However the phone next to the bed
rings before he can doze off. When he answers it, he finds Raju on the line.
Somehow Raju knows that the doctor paid him a visit, and he reassures him that
he will be all better when he sees his "big boy" the next day. Rajesh asks how
he got this phone number, but Raju just laughs and hangs up.
One thing I should mention here. Every time Raju shows up to embarrass or
otherwise inconvenience Rajesh, the happy little tune for "Carbon Copy" plays on
the soundtrack. Again, this is confusing. Raju is doing some serious threatening
in most of those scenes and is acting rather sadistic. Why they thought to
include the cheery little tune for each of these is perplexing to me. Perhaps
it's to show the audience that "hey we're just playing around, this isn't all
that horrible," but at least to me it doesn't work that way.
The
next day we join Rajesh at the office as he's making his rounds and greeting his
staff. He finds the lobby filled with people, and asks one of the other folks
standing around what's going on. He explains that there are interviews that day
for an available manager position. Of course, among those being interviewed is
Raju. (Cue "Carbon Copy") Raju greets him with a cheery "Good morning, sir!"
Rajesh yanks him up by the arm and leads him away from the other candidates.
Raju tells him that he is disappointed that Rajesh would hire a stranger for
the job when he's got a capable family member there to take on the task. He
tells Rajesh that the only reason Rajesh is the boss is because he inherited the
company from his father, so Raju is merely doing the same. He then starts loudly
thanking Rajesh for the job and shaking his hand vigorously. He calls out to the
other people waiting that he got the job as the rest of them look disappointed.
