Parizaad Episode 23 | Eng Subtitle | Presented By ITEL Mobile, NISA Cosmetics - 21 Dec 2021 - HUM TV

I just said that I’m hanging up!

And I won’t disturb you again!

My only prayer is….

that you are happy wherever you may be.

I know that your circumstances
have broken you from inside.

But one’s situation being bad isn’t a good
the reason to love someone.

In the midst of a jungle of desires

On a bed of hope

The bodies are of pure red blood

But the hearts are blackest of the black

How will they be true to love?

How will they appreciate beauty?

Those whose faces are grim and dark,

are unfortunate and unlucky…

Why grumble with one’s foes?

Why complain of one’s enemies?

These hidden enemies from within

We’re the ones who nurtured them

Don’t ask the ones of divine origin

How they’ve borne this separation…

This body that is riddled with wounds

And a soul that also carries blisters

Some evenings set in a way where our hearts also descent along with the sun…

The sun rises again the next morning…

But once the hearts that go into a descent…

Can never rise again…

How bereft am I

How fortunate am I

The smallest particle is like the desert

A drop is like the ocean

Why are you sitting there so sad and forlorn?

Why did you have to fight and argue with your Parizaad Sir?

What else was I supposed to do …

when what he said made me angry.

I think you got it wrong.

He must have been joking with you.

He was probably only teasing you.

And then you irritate him all day as well you know.

Yes, but that doesn’t mean that one should give such a harsh reply to someone.

You just wait and watch I’m never going to speak to him again either!

Fine, don’t speak to me if you don’t want to.

But at least keep the promise you made me of making my sculpture.

Greetings.

Or are you going to give me the silent treatment again?

How are you?

Have a seat... sit, sit son.

I will. You have a seat too..

I’ll go make you some coffee.

Okay..

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You can thank me when the sculpture is complete.

Oh…oh gosh, I can tell you how excited I am.

I can’t believe

that you actually took time out to allow me to make your facial sculpture.

You have to believe me…

when I say that I want to tell my mother to get some sweets distributed as a celebration.

Okay look it isn’t that great a big deal.

I’d like to once again warn you not to waste your time because -

Silence!

You need to sit quietly

and allow me to do my work.

Hi Parizaad.

How are you?

It’s been so many days since I’ve heard from you or any news of how you’ve been.

Congratulations we’ve completed our movie’s pre-production and

we’re about to go on set.

I mean one does if nothing else, go and check whether the work’s even being done properly or not!

As I told you before, I have no experience in the business of showbiz.

You will have to do it all by yourself.

I’ll come to your movie’s premier…

to cut the tape.

That is if you invite me.

Oh really! So I have to invite you now, do I?!

Fine, fine.

But seriously on another note Parizaad, we’re getting our music together

and I really do desperately need your advice.

What advice could I possibly give you with regards to music for a movie?

You need to find a music director for that.

I have asked a music director to come across…

but I just thought that if you could perhaps advise me with regards to the lyrics and poetry…

that is…

if you could just comment something on that

because I mean you were also once a great poet yourself.

I mean you are one for me even now and you will always remain one I know.

No one can ever kill the poet that’s inside of you Parizaad.

But I -

I won’t accept any excuses today please.

Please Parizaad, I’m waiting for you. I’m right here at the studio.

Just come straight to this place whenever you get free, okay?

I’ll be waiting.

Okay.

Alright, I’m coming over.

Okay, bye!

Akbar.

Yes Sir?

Head to the studio.

Okay Sir.

Drive to the studio.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight…

...nine, ten, eleven twelve…

...thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen…

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight…

nine, ten, eleven twelve…

...thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen…

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight…

...nine, ten, eleven twelve…

Parizaad… Hi.

Greetings.

Greetings.

How are you?

I’m fine by the grace of God.

Please have a seat.

Please.

Mr. Surile,

please start.

Okay.

Madame, this is an old tune for your kind listening.

Have I your permission?

Please.

Thank you.

You may start my dear.

These dreamy eyes

The entire night...

Dreamt dreams the color of kohl

Colors are but just colors…

Wait! Stop!

Sir, what in the world is your singer singing?

Is she singing or crying?

The world’s moved way ahead.

It’s the day and age of the hip hop now.

What’s the name of that… what’s that name AD?

Rape Sir.

What?!

Rape.

Rap?

Yes rape.

Yes, yes Madame, the same, ‘Rap’.

If one doesn’t have these fast-slow paced numbers in one movies these days madame,

then people wont bother listening to it.

Isn’t that right Mr. Surile Khan?

I’m right, aren’t I?

What about some bhangra or some item song?

We are just….

traditional, classical singers, Madam.

We sing with the heart!

And this here my daughter Jharna,

she sings with her soul.

This noise …

and this storm of idiosyncrasy…

that you call music…

is not our cup of tea.

Oh hey Mister,

Oh hey Sir,

who writes this kind of poetry anymore?

The younger generation of today wants a faster beat and they also like remixes.

Beats that make you dance,

give a feeling of life and living, beats that set one afire!

Sir,

if you like I’ll show our ‘Item’ to the Producer Sir.

It’s a new jazz singer and he’s sitting outside.

Should I ask him in?

Call him inside.

Ask him to come in.

Madame..

this is ‘Tony the Rapper.’

He hasn’t got just one, a million or a thousand fans.

He has billions of fans ..

on Instagram and the social media.

If you like he can present you something?

Ooh la la, Ooh la la, Ooh la la!

Ooh la la, Ooh la la, Ooh la la!

Ooh la la, Ooh la la, Ooh la la!

Ooh la la, Ooh la la, Ooh la la!

From the moment I laid eyes on you

...And you laid eyes on me

That’s when my heart said

Ooh la la, Ooh la la, Ooh la la

I won’t let you go anywhere now

I’ll fight with your father

I’ll take you home now

You’re the fire and I’m the flame

Ooh la la, Ooh la la, Ooh la la

Ooh la la, Ooh la la, Ooh la la

Ooh la la, Ooh la la, Ooh la la

Ooh la la, Ooh la la, Ooh la la

My dear,

you’ve been at this since yesterday.

At least get some rest now.

Hello?

What

Yes, I’m talking to you.

What were you saying?

I’m saying get some rest you’ve been at this since yesterday.

Finish this tomorrow.

Ma,

I’m not sleepy

and when I feel sleepy, I’ll go to bed myself.

Its night so why don’t you go…

go to bed and sleep.

Go to bed… go to sleep.

What’s… tch… what’s all this clay on your face!

What are you saying?

You’ve got all the clay on your face child.

Since I’m working with clay, the clay will obviously get on me as well Ma!

You always say the same thing.

Just go!

Okay, okay fine.

Just go.

Okay.

Just go… go

Alright but come soon because you know I can’t sleep without you there.

Just go, leave.

You’re out here.

How do you bear all this?

Maybe it’s

because this is the public demand

so I have no other choice.

It’s always this…

commercial angle that gets in the way!

Always!

But these are the people that

get the public used to such thing don’t they?

They will obviously only appreciate

that which they hear and see.

Its why I called you over Parizaad. Help me.

I want to make a classic film like…

something that’s very far off

from these flop hit things!

I want that my script should be strong.

I want my music, acting…

poetry… everything to be perfect!

Then give that girl a chance.

She has a lot of sorrow in her voice.

The words she sang

just now as an example of her singing…

you need to create the kind of atmosphere

for your movie with that kind of music.

So where do I find a poet who writes poetry like that?

Will you write the poetry for me, Parizaad?

If the need arises then I’ll do it

even though I’ve never written

anything for a movie to date…

but we’ll see.

But I do believe

that there are good poets out there…

all you need to do is find them.

But that was bad.

I’m sorry that was so… oh god!

I’m sorry.

Stop here a minute.

Greetings Mr. Khan. Why are you two still here?

It’s quite late at night.

We were just leaving… uh… the security guard’s son’s gone to hail a taxi for us.

You’re accompanied by a young girl and who knows whether you will even get a cab or not.

And then it’s quite a lonely stretch of a road with no one about at this hour.

Uh…

The thing is… we really did get quite late today.

Actually, the Director Sir stopped us to hear Jharna sing some more.

Its why we got late.

Okay.

Akbar…

take his harmonium and follow us in the other car.

I’ll sit in the front.

Please come.

Please come with me and I’ll drop you home.

You?

No, no Sir… please don’t bother yourself like this.

We’ll go somehow or the other.

I would have accepted it had you been on your own

but to go alone at this hour of the night accompanied by a young girl is…

Please sit inside and forget the formality.

Please stop the car here… right here.

This is where we live.

Thank you very much.

Not a problem.

Sir,

you being a big man gave me such respect today…

you cannot imagine how grateful I am to you for it.

It was my pleasure.

And by the way I’ve told Madame Mahpara that your daughter will sing the songs for her movie…

so don’t worry about anything.

You’ve won the heart of a performer today.

You’ve been very courteous and that’s why you are so fortunate..

and I pray that God blesses you with a lot more!

Amen.

The only thing you need to do now is find the poetry that suits your daughter’s voice.

This two-bit poetry they have these days wont sound good on her voice.

I have the poetry.

Uh… What I mean is ..

that I can introduce you to an excellent poet!

That is if you have a few minutes to spare.

At this hour its…

Sir look… please don’t say no.

You’ve already done us many kindnesses today.

And if you benefit us a few more minutes of your time,

I will remain grateful to you forever.

Who is this poet and where will you find him at this hour?

He’s right here, Sir.

It’s just that the world hasn’t recognized his talent as yet.

Believe me,

Like one needs a good ear to recognize a good voice and good music.

The same way, all he needs is an appreciative audience like you,

One who will understand his poetry …

And isn’t it also possible…

that it was because of his good luck…

that a big man like yourself has reached our door step?

Come with us Sir, please.

Please don’t refuse Sir.

Just come with us for two minutes.

Please come.

Alright fine, lets go.

Please come this way.

I’ll just be back.

This way Sir.

This way Sir,

come inside…

come inside…

Ahmed son,

we’ve brought him here to meet you.

Please have a seat.

Do you smoke?

I do, yes.

Then you must really be living it up.

Parizaad.

Where did you disappear to my friend?

Where all haven’t, I searched for you!

I’m still in search of myself.

Do let me know if you find me.

Oh hey this is really good news!

You two already know each other???

Oh, hey daughter,

these two already know each other!

Why don’t you do one thing, go and make the tea while I go get the harmonium out of the car!

Okay, I’ll just get it.

Have a seat.

Do you know something,

had you said all this to your old, neighbor Parizaad,

then perhaps he would have right here and now…

died of sheer happiness.

There was time when you were the cure for all my sorrows…

the balm for my every wound.

Always remember one thing Naheed,

whatever I have…

its value isn’t even worth one tear of yours.

I can give all this to you if you want.

You are very precious…

and all this is very cheap.

So that’s my story.

How are you here?…

and with these people?

I rent a room from them.

Hmm…

Uh…

What does one call it?

A paying guest.

Although the chance to pay is something I don’t get to do that often.

They’re real decent people.

Although…

I did note the girl’s eyes when you were being mentioned…

and it didn’t seem like the room is the only thing you’d usurped.

Sounds to me like she might be in love with you.

She’s very naive.

Very innocent.

Out here people have a tendency to eye her body more than they do listen to her voice.

First off, we need to get you treatment.

Let’s go,

we’ll talk more once we get home.

What will they say…

that the moment he got a wealthy friend he left them…

Na Saaz…

isn’t a selfish man.

You already know that.

Well then lets Jharna and the Mr. Khan with us.

I know that your intentions are well meant

but…

Mr. Khan is a very cultured man.

Sir.

Thank you very much.

Sir,

you’re his friend so you must have heard his poetry and read it as well.

Um…

Why don’t you tell him to write your film songs for you?

He never heeds me.

He doesn’t heed anyone.

But one thing is certain…

and that is that Na Saaz is the only one that will pen the songs for Mahpara’s movie.

How’s the tea?

That was really, really sweet.

I’ve gotten used to it.

And besides the only sweet I have left in my life is…

In the tea.

This is so very bad.

I kept calling you all night and you were sitting there gabbing with your friend?

There are some friends with whom you sit..

and the years go by like minutes.

And this was but just one night …

where I never realized when morning dawned.

Really?

Sighs..

Your friend is so very lucky.

Do you know something,

my mother can’t stand me for more than five minutes!

It could be…

that there’s someone out there who will enjoy your company as well.

Oh…

I wish, I wish, I wish.

Tell me something,

when are you coming across to my gallery?

I need to show you something.

I’ll try coming over soon.

You can’t only try, you have to come over today!

Please, please, please, please!

Okay

Fine…

I’ll come by today.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Okay, goodbye.

Yes Sir.

Come in.

You wanted to see me Sir?

Yes. Have a seat.

Kanwal you have to do something very important for me ..

but you need to maintain extreme secrecy for it.

Don’t worry Sir, I will do exactly that from now on.

Your every secret is my secret.

In the next few days …

an ad will be published in the newspaper.

It is the ad for a job vacancy.

You have to try and make sure Majid sees that ad any which way.

The vacancy is that of an executive manager at a company.

It will offer a good salary.

Sir,

you still lookout for sister Naheed even after all that’s happened.

It really amazes me.

You’re still too young to understand all this.

Just make sure you look after yourself and your family.

Sir, if you don’t mind,

may I say something?

Yes?

When you’d invited sister Naheed to your house,

my respect for you had really gone down.

was like you were nothing but some mediocre, selfish man out for what he could get.

But by not taking advantage of my sister’s helplessness,

you once again, proved all of us wrong about you.

I never wanted to prove anyone right or wrong.

Frankly speaking, it’s really very simple…

the reason for which the world’s giving me such importance today,

it holds very little significance for me.

I know that Sir.

And it’s the reason why …

my respect for you has grown so tremendously…

Sir, I cant tell you how I -

One second.

One second.

Yes?

Alright have them sit in the boardroom and I’ll come there once I’m free.

I’m sorry, you were saying?

It’s okay Sir… you’re busy right now.

I’ll speak to you about this some other time.

Please carry on.

Alright.

I’ll make sure brother Majid sees the ad.

Thank you.

No, tell me is there a problem?

When he’s said that he will come, then he will come.

Why are you going about pacing from one room to the other like some hysterical person?!

Mummy, you know how I dislike waiting!

Especially… especially when my work’s done.

Look he’s a busy man, a tycoon!

He must have a thousand and one things he needs to do.

He must be very busy.

And listen to me,

you need to stop irritating him now!

He’s really been tolerating you thus far!

Mummy, you’re just -

Alright enough!

Get a hold of yourself while you still have time my dear.

Behave yourself!

I’ll come with you, Sir.

Any particular reason?

This place is unsafe Sir.

I get the feeling we’re being watched out here.

No,

You all stay here.

The people I’m going to visit are simple people.

They’ll worry if they see so much security.

Don’t worry I’ll be careful.

Please be on the alert, Sir.

I knew it.

I knew that you would come even if you were late doing so.

And do you know, I’d a bet on this with my mother and see I’ve won.

At least show me what this thing is because of which you called me so many times.

Its a surprise.

But for me to show it to you,

you will have to first close your eyes and then come with me.

What do you mean?

Yes, yes its a surprise!

So please, please, please!

Okay.

Close your eyes.

Okay there.

Are they closed?

And no cheating.

Okay fine, they’re closed.

That’s it… now walk with me.

Keep coming …

and just follow my voice.

Are your eyes still closed?

Absolutely.

Now when I say 1, 2, 3...

You need to open your eyes..

Okay.

1, 2…

3……

Open them.

Parizaad Sir...

tell me, what you think of your sculpture?

Its lovely.

It’s beautiful.

But -

But what???

This is the vision of my perception of you.

It was something my thumbs touched and my fingers sculpted.

This is what you look like in my eyes.

This is exactly how you look in my heart….
