The Movie –

He sees her in the temple
Immediately falls in love with her,
She has come with her mother
He waits for an opportunity to meet her.

He follows her, day in and day out
Everyday he waits outside her home,
She knew him as a local yob
Who did nothing but roam.

He manages to stop her one day
And expresses his love for her,
She was waiting for it all along
They start going out thereafter.

They break into song and dance
Whenever they feel like,
Sometimes in Australia, sometimes Switzerland
Sometimes in a car and sometimes in a bike.

Dressed always in designer costumes
Even though they can’t afford it,
Because it’s just a dream not reality
They can afford to totally enjoy it.

Meanwhile in the cinema hall –

People in theatre start to clap
When Hero starts dancing with Heroine,
Some go out of theatre to have a fag
Some get a snack in the canteen.

Then it’s time for the interval
When the toilets are fully clogged,
Some wait eagerly for the movie to restart
In the sea of humanity some get bogged.

Movie continues –

The movie becomes interesting in second half
As many thousands of movies before,
The girl’s parents don’t approve of her love
To win their hearts, hero has to work more.

The rest of the movie has plots and subplots
Where the girl’s parents put the Hero to test,
In every task he emerges a winner
In fights, dance, emotions he proves to be the best.

The hero prevails against all the odds
Which only Indians can understand,
His in-laws are forced to give in
The movie comes to a happy end.
