HAVELI
KRIYA bedroom .... Both Krishna and Pratigya are dead to the world .. when suddenly a musical note begins its disturbing rhythm ..The sound intrudes into Krishna's sleep ..Krishna stretches a sleepy hand towards the source and answers the phone ..On the other side of the Phone is a panic stricken Cook , who blabbers that the Dhaba is on fire , A Shocked Krishna jolts up and jerks out WHATTTTT ..The Cook helpfully repeats that the Dhaba is on fire.. A stunned Krishna demands to how this was possible , since the cook was in the premises.The Cook sasy that he nodded off for a while and when he opened his eyes , the Dhaba was barbecuing itself nicely... A dazed Baba orders the cook to call up Tunna and Chandu, informs the cook that he will be there in few mins ... All this yelling and agitated movements had disturbed Pratigya, who has become wide awake ...she queries the reason for the tension ..understands that the Dhaba is on fire..Hurries after a hurrying Krishna ..
Krishna rushes into the hall calling out to his Bauji, hearing the commotion, All the members stumble out sleepily , Sajjan Singh is trying to suppress his yawn , when it is done effectively for him by Krishna panicked " Bauji, The Dhaba is on fire "..Sajjan Singh forgets to complete his yawn , clamps his mouth..opens it again..wanting to know whether what he heard was really true.Krishna repeats the fact again... says that he and Pratigya are leaving for the site, exhorts his family to join him as soon as possible and races off, closely followed by the marathon runner Pratigya .. sajjan Singh shouts out after them, telling them not to worry, and that everything will be alright and that he is there for him ...Sajjan Singh rushes down yelling out shakthi to come out..Amma begins her sing-song grieving, Sajjan singh shuts her up , sharply saying that he is not in the mood and Amma may get something instead of blessing .. Sajjan Singh turns towards Kesar, tells her to wake up Shakthi..says that Baba will need all the help ...A sleepy Shakthi stumbles towards them half asleep ..Sajjan Singh tells him that Baba's Dhaba is on fire..Shakthi wants to sleep..Sajjan Singh promises that Shakthi may get a few loving pecks from Sajjan Singh's foot wear ...This wakes up Shakthi, who then leaves to get the jeep ready ...
DHABA
many people are trying to douse out the flame while Tunna and Chandu are standing watching this scene helplessly.. Krishna and Pratigya arrive on their Royal Chariot..Krishna sees the Burning Dhaba, shouts and rushes towards it..But the alert Tunna and Chandu combo hold him back..Pratigya entreats Krishna to exercise restraint .. They are watching the burning *** Hello..haven't anyone heard of a thing called Fire station ..esp The all knowing Pratigya **..Just then The Royal cavalcade arrives ..All are stunned to see the intensity of the fire .. Sajjan Singh and family rushes towards Krishna... Shakthi holds himself back and stands watching the fire ..there is a curious play of expression..is it shock, pleasure, satisfaction..quite unfathomable ..
Sajjan Singh tells someone to call the fire Brigade.. Krishna and Tunna run to get the water tanker..they find a water tanker with a drunk driver..Krishna pushes off the sleeping driver to the back... takes the wheel in his hands and drives it to the site of carnage... Krishna commands Tunna to release the water at his prompt..Krishna rushes to the dhaba holding the hose and at cue.. the cooling, rejuvenating water rushes out..soon the fire is brought under control and extinguished...but the Damage is done ..The dhaba is burnt to its skeleton ..Krishna looks at the beautiful Dhaba now all charred and blackened... Krishna falls on his knees , crushed ...Krishna ..says that my dreams have burnt itself to ashes..Sajjan Singh hurries to Krishna admonishes Krishna on his defeatist talk orders Krishna never to lose courage and never to lose confidence ..seeing that His Son is too sunk in his despair..He urges Amma to console Krishna..Amma holdshim by two shoulders tells Krishna that everything will be alright, Sajjan Singh is there ..and The Dhaba will be raised at this very spot again ..Pratigya too does her bit of motivational talk ..and promises Krishna that Dhaba will be opened as planned ..Sajjan Singh places his hands on Pratigya as if saying that it will be done..
A BRIGHT MORNING
A smartly dressed Adarsh comes out of the room , ready to go to his office ..the Father and daughter are arranged around the tables ** did they even go to bed last night , or have they been glued to the chairs ** .. Nainaji gets the breakfast to the tableAdarsh moves away from the still tableux, when one of the statue err Shaymu comes to life..quietly asks Adasrh whether he had any idea as to the crime Adarsh had committed last night, Shyamu adds that Adarsh had come home drunk, Shyamu condemns Adasrh's behavior, says that day by day Adarsh is becoming un-adarsh ..Aadarsh nonchalantly replies that there was a party hosted by his Manager and he had indulged in social drinking, replies that such things are common now ..and wonders why Shyamu is upset by the fact that Adarsh is drunk.. Shyamu has already separated him ..And Adarsh is following his heart .. Nainaji gets angry on hearing Adarsh belittling her God , Swiftly Moves to take Adarsh to task but is checked by Shyamu who replies sadly and quite maturely ** what a pleasant change ** That Adarsh has grown up , He is a earner and an adult and he is too fargone in the path of vice... Shyamu consoles himself and his Over reacting wife saying that They have got Krishna , and they can be proud of their Krishna !! and that they have to attend the inauguration of the Dhaba ** Since when did Krishna become THEIR ** .. At that poignant Moment , the Telephone rings.
Shyamu Attends the phone and is pleasantly surprised to hear Pratigya..Pratigya tells her Papa that the opening of the Dhaba has been moved to the evening instead of the planned Morning. Worry lines etch itself on Shyamu's Shiny face and he inquires anxiously whether anything is the matter..Pratigya candidly replies that the Dhaba has burned down ..and will take some time for it to be cleaned ..Shyamu immediately wants to know how it happened ** Kya P Antarmayi hai jo sab kuch jaane **.Pratigya does not know...Shyamu promises that The Saxena's will pitch in to help ..and notifies that He himself, Aarushi, Nainaji will be coming...Pratigya completes the call...focuses her mind on teh daunting task ahead ...She orders Tunna and Chandu to get the raw materials again.. Both assent and leave to do their assigned tasks, A irritated and practical Krishna wants to know how can all this damage be undone by evening, and what was the need to say that the Dhaba will open in the evening when the Dhaba was in ruins... Pratigya gives a pep talk retorting that Things don't come in a platter and one has to meet with many obstacles before meeting success..Pratigya promises that Krishna chose this day to open his dhaba for public , and the dhaba will be open today..An Irked Krishna replies that Pratigya is not being practical, and nothing can be done..Sajjan singh and Amma urge Krishna not give up hope..Sajjan Singh continues to boost Krishna's gloomy disposition by asking him to have faith in Pratigya's assertion, replies that if everyone pitches..then the Dhaba will be rise again ..Shakthi tries to be the nay-sayer and is rebuked by Sajjan Singh ..Sajjan Singh orders Shakthi to get cracking and help out Baba .. The women slowly begin to tidy the place up .
PRECAP
We are blessed to see the unique and special sight of the Thakur's and saxena's working together . The combined families are trying to beat the deadline and restore the Dhaba by evening ..All are sincerely working except for Krishna , who is standing looking distrustful and a bit hopeless and helpless ...
