5. 0:07titled "Upper Division Love." Now, this
6. 0:10story is about love and romance, and
7. 0:13the kind of love that is one-sided. And
8. 0:16when there is one-sided love, a
9. 0:18heartbreak is inevitable. So, in this
10. 0:20story too, many hearts are going to
11. 0:22break. Now, why are hearts breaking?
12. 0:24Whose heart is breaking? We will only
13. 0:25find out in the story. So, why are we
14. 0:27wasting time? Let’s quickly start the
15. 0:29story. Before starting the story, let
16. 0:31me introduce you to the characters. Let
17. 0:33me introduce the characters so the
18. 0:34story is easier to follow. So, the
19. 0:36first character is the Narrator, who
20. 0:38will be narrating this story. He will
21. 0:39be telling it to us. He is an LDC clerk
22. 0:42, meaning a Lower Division Clerk. The
23. 0:44next character is Sundarbala.
24. 0:45Sundarbala is an actress. And which
25. 0:48film is she an actress in? She is the
26. 0:50actress in the film "Phool." The next
27. 0:52character is Ramakant. Ramakant is the
28. 0:54hero, or actor, of the film "Phool."
29. 0:57The next character is Fatty. Fatty is
30. 1:00the director. Now, Fatty is not his
31. 1:02real name. He is a bit chubby. He comes
32. 1:04from a well-to-do background, so that
33. 1:07is why he is referred to as "Fatty" in
34. 1:09this story. The next character is
35. 1:11Santoshak Singh, who is a close friend
36. 1:13of our narrator. The next character is
37. 1:16Sheelamati. What is she? She is also an
38. 1:18actress. And which company is she an
39. 1:19actress for? She is an actress for the
40. 1:21I-B Film Company. These are the
41. 1:23characters you need to keep in mind
42. 1:24while listening to the story. So
43. 1:26let’s start right away. The story
44. 1:28begins with our LDC clerk who is not
45. 1:32very wealthy. He is a Lower Division
46. 1:34Clerk. Right? So he isn't very rich. He
47. 1:37falls in love with an actress named
48. 1:40Sundarbala. A film star whom our
49. 1:42ordinary LDC clerk falls in love with.
50. 1:46It was one-sided love. The love was so
51. 1:48deep that our LDC gentleman would keep
52. 1:51three posters of Sundarbala in his room
53. 1:55and a passport-sized photo in his
54. 1:57wallet. And in his mind, there was only
55. 2:00one song playing: "If your name isn't
56. 2:03written on my heart, and your photo
57. 2:06isn't in my wallet." So these songs
58. 2:08were playing in the mind and heart of
59. 2:10our LDC friend. Moving on, whenever our
60. 2:13LDC friend would head to the office,
61. 2:15you must have seen many banners of
62. 2:18actors and actresses on the way. Photos
63. 2:20put up, posters displayed. Right? For
64. 2:23the promotion of their films or
65. 2:24something else. So whenever our LDC
66. 2:26friend would see a poster of Sundarbala
67. 2:29, he would just keep staring at it for
68. 2:31the longest time. Standing there and
69. 2:33staring at them was his main job.
70. 2:35That’s how his days were passing by.
71. 2:37Now, one day, our LDC friend goes to a
72. 2:40stationery shop named Buchumji Store.
73. 2:44You have to remember the name of this
74. 2:45store too. Buchumji Store. He was
75. 2:47standing there when a long car arrives.
76. 2:50It stops outside the store. A beautiful
77. 2:53lady steps out of it. She had two
78. 2:55bodyguards with her. Now, who was this
79. 2:57lady? She was our Sundarbala. So,
80. 3:00Sundarbala comes inside the store. As
81. 3:02soon as she enters the store, the
82. 3:04narrator, the LDC clerk, was already
83. 3:06standing there. So Sundarbala thinks,
84. 3:08who is this? He must be someone who
85. 3:10works at the store. So Sundarbala asks
86. 3:12him if she could find a golden fountain
87. 3:15pen studded with diamonds. Now, the
88. 3:17narrator is unable to say anything.
89. 3:19Before he can speak, the man working at
90. 3:21the store says, "Ma'am, ma'am, come
91. 3:22this way, come this way.""The pens are
92. 3:24kept at this counter." So Sundarbala
93. 3:26walks over to him and starts looking at
94. 3:29the pens. Now, the narrator just keeps
95. 3:32staring at Sundarbala. He couldn't
96. 3:33believe it. It all felt like a dream to
97. 3:36him. Just imagine, you like someone,
98. 3:39and that person is an actor. Right? You
99. 3:42adore a TV star or a film star, and
100. 3:44suddenly they come and stand right in
101. 3:46front of you. What would you say?
102. 3:47You’d go completely blank. You’d
103. 3:49just freeze. That was the narrator's
104. 3:51situation. He was standing there,
105. 3:53wondering how all this was happening.
106. 3:54Am I dreaming? This is reality, right?
107. 3:57That’s all he was thinking. Then he
108. 3:59thinks, let me go to Sundarbala and
109. 4:01talk to her. As he moves forward a
110. 4:03little, both of Sundarbala's bodyguards
111. 4:05appear and say, "Look at our muscles,
112. 4:07stay away and stand quietly." So the
113. 4:09poor narrator quietly stands to the
114. 4:11side. Now Sundarbala finishes her
115. 4:13shopping and starts heading back. But
116. 4:15then she remembers that her glasses
117. 4:17were left inside the store. So she
118. 4:19turns back around and sees that the
119. 4:21narrator is coming towards her with her
120. 4:23glasses. Now the narrator approaches
121. 4:25Sundarbala and says, "Ma'am, these are
122. 4:27your glasses; you forgot them in the
123. 4:29store." Sundarbala looks at him and
124. 4:31smiles, then after saying thank you,
125. 4:33she takes the glasses and leaves, and
126. 4:35that’s where the narrator’s plans
127. 4:37go south. He drifts off into his own
128. 4:39little world. He thinks, "Wow,
129. 4:41Sundarbala said thank you to me.""She
130. 4:43smiled at me.""This means something is
131. 4:46happening between us.""It means we are
132. 4:49friends now." In other words, he gets
133. 4:51lost in his own dream world. And now he
134. 4:53starts thinking that Sundarbala will go
135. 4:55crazy in love with him and will chase
136. 4:57him with a wedding garland, begging him
137. 4:59to marry her. So our narrator starts
138. 5:01building castles in the air. He gets
139. 5:03lost in a fantasy world. And slowly,
140. 5:05time starts to pass. Whenever the
141. 5:07narrator got free time, whenever he got
142. 5:09a break from his office, what would he
143. 5:10do? He would go and stand outside the
144. 5:13gate of Gajraj Film Company, where this
145. 5:16film, "Phoolwali," was being shot,
146. 5:18waiting for the moment when his eyes
147. 5:21would meet Sundarbala's and he could
148. 5:23catch a glimpse of her. Since the
149. 5:26narrator would go there every day
150. 5:28whenever he had time, he eventually
151. 5:30becomes friends with the watchman
152. 5:32standing outside the company. Now, one
153. 5:35day the narrator finds out that a side
154. 5:38character is needed for this film, so
155. 5:41he agrees to do it. He says, "I will
156. 5:43play that character myself." I'll be
157. 5:44the one playing the role. He gets
158. 5:45called inside. Fatty calls him inside.
159. 5:48Now, did I tell you who Fatty is? He is
160. 5:50the director of this film. The director
161. 5:51of the flower movie. So, Fatty calls
162. 5:53the narrator and asks him, "Do you know
163. 5:55how to speak Hindi?" The narrator
164. 5:57replies, "Yes, yes, I know how to speak
165. 5:58Hindi." Then Fatty asks, "Do you know
166. 6:00how to drive?" The narrator says, "Yes,
167. 6:01I know how to drive too." So Fatty says
168. 6:03, "Okay, you've got the role." What do
169. 6:05you have to do? Let me explain the role
170. 6:07to you. I will pay you 10 rupees per
171. 6:08day. The narrator is extremely happy.
172. 6:10First, he was getting paid to work.
173. 6:13Second, he was getting paid to work
174. 6:15with Sundarbala. I mean, do you
175. 6:16understand? He was getting the golden
176. 6:18opportunity to do a movie with his
177. 6:20crush. So, he agrees to it. Now our
178. 6:23Fatty, the director, explains the role
179. 6:25to our narrator. He says, "What do you
180. 6:27have to do?""You have to play the role
181. 6:30of a Pandit." What is a Pandit? Pandit
182. 6:32is used for a robber or a bandit. "You
183. 6:34have to play the role of a Pandit.""
184. 6:35Sundarbala will be standing there.""
185. 6:37What do you have to do?""You have to
186. 6:38snatch the chain from her neck and run.
187. 6:40" Which means he has to do chain
188. 6:41snatching. Our narrator is given a
189. 6:43petty thief's job here. Then what
190. 6:45happens? The scene begins. The narrator
191. 6:48goes up to Sundarbala and tries to
192. 6:50snatch her chain. But, the chain was
193. 6:53tied so tight that it wouldn't come off
194. 6:55, so he pulls a bit too hard. The
195. 6:57narrator uses too much force, causing
196. 7:00Sundarbala to get hurt on her neck. She
197. 7:03gets very angry and annoyed, asking, "
198. 7:05What kind of nonsense is this? What are
199. 7:06you doing?""If you don't know how to do
200. 7:08it, don't do it. Why are you doing this
201. 7:09?" She gets furious and agitated like
202. 7:11this. Then our Fatty, the director,
203. 7:14steps in to mediate. He tries to calm
204. 7:16Sundarbala down, saying, "Ma'am, ma'am,
205. 7:18sorry, it was a mistake.""Forgive him,
206. 7:19consider him a child.""Let's do a
207. 7:21retake." So, what happens next? The
208. 7:23scene is shot all over again. The
209. 7:25narrator returns to Sundarbhala as a
210. 7:27thief and tries to snatch her chain,
211. 7:30and this time, he actually succeeds. He
212. 7:33snatches the chain and runs away. Now,
213. 7:35what was supposed to happen in the next
214. 7:36scene? Ramakant, the hero of the film,
215. 7:38was supposed to catch the narrator. He
216. 7:40had to catch that thief and retrieve
217. 7:42the chain from him. So, Ramakant starts
218. 7:45chasing the narrator. He catches him.
219. 7:48He grabs the chain back and hits him.
220. 7:50He lands a punch right on his face. As
221. 7:52soon as the narrator gets hit in the
222. 7:54face, he falls down. Now, see, what was
223. 7:57the actual scene supposed to be?
224. 7:59Ramakant was supposed to catch the
225. 8:02narrator, take the chain back, and
226. 8:04punch him. But he wasn't supposed to
227. 8:06throw a real punch. He wasn't supposed
228. 8:07to hit with full force. He just had to
229. 8:09act like he was punching him really
230. 8:11hard. But he wasn't supposed to hit him
231. 8:12for real. You know that the fight
232. 8:14scenes you see are not real. They are
233. 8:16just acting. Nobody gets thrown around
234. 8:19that hard. But here, what does Ramakant
235. 8:21do? He actually punches the narrator
236. 8:23for real, which causes the narrator to
237. 8:25fall to the ground. Now, look at the
238. 8:27audacity of this girl. I mean,
239. 8:29Sundarbhala is grinning from ear to ear
240. 8:32, laughing at the fact that her hero
241. 8:34beat the narrator so hard. So, the
242. 8:36narrator's ego gets hurt here. He says,
243. 8:39"I used to like you because of your
244. 8:41smile.""But today, it's because of your
245. 8:43smile that I dislike you.""I hate you."
246. 8:45And this is where the revenge begins.
247. 8:48The narrator decides that he will
248. 8:50definitely take revenge on her. And his
249. 8:52first act of revenge is to quit the
250. 8:54film. I'm leaving and dropping all my
251. 8:55roles. So, the poor fatty comes over.
252. 8:57He says, "Okay, okay, listen to me,
253. 8:59listen.""Earlier I was paying you 10
254. 9:01rupees a day.""Now I will give you 20
255. 9:02rupees a day." So, the narrator thinks
256. 9:04it's not such a bad deal after all. 20
257. 9:06rupees is a lot for one day. So, he
258. 9:08agrees. He swallows his anger and
259. 9:10accepts the 20 rupees. Now you must be
260. 9:11thinking, what kind of person is he?
261. 9:13Even after being humiliated like that,
262. 9:15he was ready to work again. Well,
263. 9:16that's not it. This is also part of the
264. 9:18narrator's plan. What is he going to do
265. 9:20? He is going to ruin this film now. He
266. 9:22is going to spoil this scene of
267. 9:24Sundarbala's. So, what does he do? He
268. 9:26decides that he will definitely ruin
269. 9:29the romantic love scene between
270. 9:31Sundarbala and Ramakant. What does he
271. 9:33do? He calls his friend whose name is
272. 9:35Santoshak Singh. He tells him, "Brother
273. 9:36, bring your Bullet over here.""We have
274. 9:38a situation." Here, we are talking
275. 9:40about the Bullet motorcycle. The bike,
276. 9:42to be specific. Not the other kind of
277. 9:44bullet. Got it? So, he calls his friend
278. 9:47to bring the Bullet. There is a
279. 9:49romantic scene happening. We are going
280. 9:50to ruin their romantic scene. You must
281. 9:52be wondering how they will ruin a
282. 9:53romantic scene with a Bullet. You must
283. 9:55know that the Bullet motorcycle is very
284. 9:58loud. Its noise level is extremely high
285. 10:00. So, what happens during the romantic
286. 10:02scene? Sundarbala and Ramakant are
287. 10:04filming their scene. Suddenly,
288. 10:05Santoshak, the narrator's friend,
289. 10:07arrives on the Bullet, and because of
290. 10:09its loud noise, it creates a huge
291. 10:11disturbance. At the location where the
292. 10:14film was being shot, it gets so noisy
293. 10:16that Sundarbala has to shout her lines,
294. 10:19and their scene gets ruined. So, the
295. 10:22narrator took his revenge, but he still
296. 10:25wasn't satisfied; he had to do
297. 10:27something more. Now that this scene was
298. 10:30ruined and all of Sundarbala's scenes
299. 10:32were finished. Sundarbala tells
300. 10:34Ramakant that she has to go to a party
301. 10:37at 6:30 PM, a Blero company party. She
302. 10:39has been invited there as the chief
303. 10:41guest. So, you do one thing: come and
304. 10:43pick me up. Then we will both go to the
305. 10:45party together. So Ramakant says, "Okay
306. 10:47." The narrator overhears their
307. 10:49conversation, and a wicked plan starts
308. 10:51brewing in his devious mind. So, what
309. 10:53happens next? The next day, there was a
310. 10:55scene between the narrator and Ramakant
311. 10:57, where the narrator had to play a
312. 10:59police officer, arrest Ramakant, the
313. 11:01hero, handcuff him, put him in a van,
314. 11:03and drive him away. That was the scene.
315. 11:05The shoot begins, and the director
316. 11:08shouts, "Start! One, two, three, start!
317. 11:10" So what the narrator does—since he
318. 11:12was playing the police officer—he
319. 11:14handcuffs Ramakant, puts him in the van
320. 11:17, starts the engine, and drives off.
321. 11:19The director shouts "Cut! Cut! Cut!"
322. 11:21multiple times, but our narrator...he
323. 11:23wouldn't dream of stopping the vehicle.
324. 11:25He just doesn't stop the car. On top of
325. 11:27that, he had stuck a poster onto the
326. 11:29van. And what was written on that
327. 11:30poster? "Dangerous Lunatic: Keep Away."
328. 11:33"Lunatic" means a mentally unstable
329. 11:34person. It basically says that a very
330. 11:36dangerous madman is inside this van. No
331. 11:39one should come near this van. And he
332. 11:41parks that van right outside the Bleiro
333. 11:43company. Where Ramakant was supposed to
334. 11:45arrive with Sundarbala. The narrator
335. 11:48parks the van right outside that
336. 11:50company. Ramakant was inside that van.
337. 11:53He was handcuffed, and the sign on the
338. 11:55van warned everyone that a dangerous
339. 11:57lunatic was inside, so they should stay
340. 12:00away. So, what happens here is that
341. 12:02Ramakant can't get out, and
342. 12:04consequently, Sundarbala isn't able to
343. 12:07attend the function. So, what happens
344. 12:09next? The people who organized the
345. 12:11function, what do they do? They call
346. 12:13another actress to replace Sundarbala,
347. 12:16whose name was Sheelamati. Sheelamati,
348. 12:18an actress from Ajay Film Company, is
349. 12:21invited as the chief guest since
350. 12:23Sundarbala didn't arrive, and the next
351. 12:26day, in the newspapers, Sheela's photos
352. 12:29are printed instead of Sundarbala's for
353. 12:32that event. And with this, our LDC
354. 12:35clerk takes his revenge on both
355. 12:38Sundarbala and Ramakant. With that,
356. 12:41this story comes to an end. I hope you
