here's my version of Maneet Khamoshiyaan...
Khamoshiyaan..."when
silence speak..."
Dev Khanna is a
writer who goes to the Khashmir valley to write his story...
He is a wannabe Bollywood writer...he wants to get his
inspirations from the heaven on earth...Kashmir...
He chooses the place Ramban which is in the middle of the
Jammu and Srinagar...
It's a beautiful place...with the river Tavi flowing along
the serene mountains ...
Dev wanders in the valleys along the river bank...
The silence of the place attracts him very much and he
decides to camp there...
He is used to early morning walks and so he wakes up at 8 am
as usual and starts his morning walking in the nearby jungle...
It's freezing cold out there and the snow clad mountains at
the top slowly emerge out of the darkness and shine in the first rays of the
day...
Dev thinks that this is the most beautiful Sun rise he had
ever seen...
As he treads thru the woods he comes across a few houses and
suddenly he finds a girl coming out of one of them with a pot to draw water
from the river...
She has covered her face to protect herself from the cold
winds...
Dev becomes curious to look at her face once...
He hides behind the trees and secretly follows her...
She hops and reaches the river bank in a few minutes...
She was alone and had no company except for her secret
stalker Dev...
She isn't afraid to go alone...maybe it's her place and she
knows it very well...
No...there are more hidden secrets and stories around this
place which even this girl doesn't know...
Dev is sure that he has got his inspirations for his story,
he is waiting for this girl...
She steps into the water and fills her pot...
Still Dev couldn't see her face clearly...
He gets a little closer to have a better view...
She removes her scarf and splashes water on her face to
refresh herself...
Her beautiful smile can inspire a writer to write a 100
stories...
Dev is awestruck and he just keeps looking at her divine
beauty...
He couldn't take his eyes off her...
Her smile radiates like the Sun's rays and Dev could feel
the warmth of it...
As he keeps admiring her smile she begins to sing...she
is humming some folk song...
But she is too far for Dev to hear her ...
After a while she leaves with her pot...
And Dev follows her as if he is bound by some magical
spell...
She goes inside the house and an old man comes out...
Dev then comes to his senses and he quickly moves from that
place for he didn't want to get into trouble on the first day itself...
Dev now knows why they call this place the heaven on
earth...b'coz it's the dwelling place of the angels and he had just met one of
the angels...
For the whole day Dev couldn't pen down even a line for his
mind is fully occupied by the thoughts of that smiling beauty...
Even in the night her thought keep him awake for a long
time...
He couldn't sleep as he wishes to have her darshan first
thing in the morning...
He wakes an hour earlier and even in the darkness he starts
walking into the direction of her home...
He doesn't want to miss her anyway...
It's bitter cold and Dev is freezing, but he can't return to
his tent for he wants to see that girl...
He keeps waiting and as the sun starts shinning bright the
door of her house open to his delight...
Dev eagerly runs forward to see that beauty...
But only an old woman comes out...
Dev is disappointed but he is not going to leave...
He waits for a few more minutes and finally that girl comes
out with the pot...
Dev's heart beats faster and he couldn't control his
anxiety...
Today he will have to know more about this beauty...
If not for his story at least for himself...
He is hooked by her humble natural
beautiful looks...
He knows he has fallen in love
with this girl at the first sight...
Though he wanted to be a story
writer he never believed in this bollywood style love stories, specially love
at the first sight...
But now he starts believing in the
fairy tales, he has met his fairy...
Next day he awaits her arrival at
the stream...
She comes and he hides himself...
She just fills her pot and is lost
in her thoughts...
She keeps looking around and is
very anxious...
Today she has got company...
There's another girl...
She calls
her..."Geeet"
That's her name...
Geet comes back to her senses...
Pinky: Geet
Geet is nervous...
Pinky looks at Geet's confused
face...
Geet is still reeling in her
thoughts...
Pinky: Geet, jaldhi chalo, dher ho
rahi hai
Geet: Pinky, tum jao, mujhe kuch
kaam hai
Pinky: Geet, phir se? mujhe toh
bahut dar lagtha hai, mein tumme akhele chodke nahi jaa sakthi
Geet: hare Pinky, kya tumme bhi
lagtha hai ki mein pagal hoon?
Pinky keeps staring Geet...
Geet: Pinky, mein pagal nahi hoon,
aur mein joot bhi nahi bolthi, abhi bhi mujhe lagtha hai ki koi hai, yahan,
mere saath, woh abhi bhi mujhe hi dekh raha hai, koi toh hai, mein jaanthi
hoon, aaj toh mein usska patha lagake hi aaoongi, tum jao
Pinky: Geet, yahan koi nahi hai,
tum bhi aao mere saath, hum ghar chalthe hai
Geet: nahi Pinky, mujhe koi kaam
hai
Pinky leaves...
Geet: babaji, ye kaisa khle hai
aapki? aakhir woh kaun hai jo har waqt mera peecha kartha hai, woh kaun hai jo
mere paas hothe bhi mere nazar mein nahi aatha, ye kaise ho sakthi? Mujhe bar
bar ye ehsaas kyun hotha ki koi hai jo har waqt mere saath hai, ye mere saath
kya ho raha hai, ye mujhe hi kyun mehsoos hotha aur kissi aur ko nahi, aur mein
ussko delh kyun nahi sakthi?
Geet keeps searching that person
who is stalking her...
She can feel his presence but
couldn't see him...
She knows he is very near yet he
is very far from her...
She can only feel him, like a cool
breeze, she can smell his unique scent...she can easily sense his presence
whenever he is around...
And today she is sure that she can
find him...
She can see him for real...
As she madly runs into the woods
looking for him she runs over a broken trunk and she falls...
But some one rushes and catches
her...
Geet looks at him, he is a
handsome hunk in his early twenties...
Their eyes collide and they are engrossed
in each other ...
They keep staring each other till
Geet feels uncomfortable and moves away from him...
She runs towards her house leaving
her pot behind...
He tries to stop her...:
Geeet
But she doesn't look back and
vanishes into the woods...
Dev is mersmerised by her beauty
and he keeps dreaming about her all day...
Geet too wonders who this stranger
is and why is he stalking her?
After a while...
Geet is reminded of her pot and
she goes to find it...
As she strolls thru the thick
woods she encounters the same feelings...
That strange feeling of being with
someone special...
She tries hard to find him behind
the trees and bushes...
But she can't see any one...
She is again disappointed not to
find him...'
As she turns back to return she is
stopped by a voice..." Geeet"
It seems familiar, the same voice
she heard in the morning...
She tries to run away but this
time he gets hold of her hand...
Dev: rukho Geet
Geet turns to him ...: tumme mere
naam kaise patha?
She is curious to know more about
her stalker...
Dev: tummare naam ko mein kaise
nahi jaantha? Tum toh mere pari ho
Geet is shocled...: kya?
Dev: mein Dev hoon
Geet: meinne toh tera naam nahi
poocha?
Dev: par naam nahi jaanthi toh
mujhe kaise pukarthi?
Geet looks puzzled...
Geet gets angry...
Geet: mujhe tumse koi baat nahi
karni
She tries to leave...
Dev takes the pot and shows it to
her...
Dev: ye tummara hi haina?
Geet: haan, mujhe do
Dev gives it to her...
Geet tries to snatch it from
him...
Dev: ek minute, tum bahut sundar
ho
Geet blushses...
She grabs the pot and quickly
starts to walk...
Dev follows her...
Geet: tum mere peeche kyun karthe
ho?
Dev: toh hum phir kab milenge?
Geet: kabhi nahi
Dev: hum ek hi jagah mein rehthe
toh aksar hummara mulakat hotha rehtha , haina?
Geet is then interested to know
about him...
For she had been looking for him
all the while, haina?
Geet: tum bhi yahi rehthe ho?
Dev: haan, yahi paas mein rehtha
hoon, wahan dekho, wahi mera tent hai
Geet: ye sab mujhe kyun kehthe ho?
mujhe jaana hai
She runs away...
Dev keeps waiting for her daily
and follows her for a few days...
Geet starts interacting with him
and she likes him...
They start to spend time together
and get closer...
Dev asks her about the abandoned
guest house ans Geet tells him the story about of that haunted uest house...
Dev tells her about the purpose of
his visit and about his curiousity to know about the story behind that guest
house...
Dev keeps saying that he wished to
go there once...
Geet tries to warn him not to do
anything like that as she is very scared ...
One day Dev proposes and Geet too
accepts his love...
Geet's family had fixed her
marriage with some relative's son and she doesn't agree for the marriage...
She tells them that she is in love
with Dev...
But her family is stubborn as it's
their family prestige issue...
They lock her in a room and keep
her in house arrest...
Pinky helps her to escape and she tries to elope with Dev...
Her family chases them and they
are surrounded by the men sent by her family...
They try to forcefully take
Geet with them but they couldn't near
her at all...
No one could even touch her shadow
and they dare not to even touch her...
They are stopped by some
supernatural power...
They leave Geet and try to kill Dev...
The same supernatural power saves
him too...
Geet could again feel the presence
of that special person...so near and dear to her heart and soul...
But Dev couldn't believe what
happened...
He is not the one to buy such
things easily...
Geet is driven by some power and
she is urged to take shelter at the guest house...
She takes Dev along to the guest
house...
Geet is now not at all scared and
she feels like homecoming after a long time...
Dev doesn't like the idea but he
also thinks that it's the only safe place for them now...
The whole village is after Dev to
kill him...
They stay there for a couple of
days...
Geet is reminded of her invisible
companion...her follower...her stalker...whom she had known for years as she
roamed the woods with her friends...
First when she told them about
this they didn't take her seriously...
Then when she kept on saying the
same thing they thought that she is mad...
Geet had been looking for her
invisible stalker and when she met Dev
she assumed him to be her stalker...
But Dev has come just a couple of
months before and Geet's encounters with her stalker begun even when she was
too young to know about it...
At the guest house Geet is
overwhelmed with a strange feeling of security and peace, she feels as if she
is at home with her loved one with her family...
She tries to find out more about
this supernatural power that is helping then and also protecting her always...
She keeps looking for him in and
around the guest house...
BGM...
Geet running around to find her
protector...
Khamoshiyaann awaazz hai...
Tum sunne to ao kabhi...
Chukarr tumhe khil jayengi...
Ghar inko bulao kabhi...
Beqararr hai baat karne ko...
Kehne do inko zarra...
Geet hears the voice close to her
back...
As if someone is standing behind
her and singing...
She turns back and keeps
searching...
The voice fades away and she keeps
tracking it...
She runs in the direction of the
voice...
Khamoshiyaannn... Teri-meri khamoshiyaann...
Khamoshiyaannn.. lipti hue khamoshiyaann...
Kya us gali mein kabhi tera jana
hoa..
Jahaan se zamane ko guzre zamana
hoa..
Mera samay toh wahin pe hai
thehraa hoa..
Bataun tumhe kya mere sath kya-kya
hoa..
Geet stands frozen with a heavy
heart at the entrance of the guest house...
Khamoshiyaann ek saazz hai..
Tum dhun koi laao zara..
Khamoshiyaann alfaaz hai..
Kabhi a gun-guna le zara..
Beqararr hai baat karne ko..
Kehne do inko zara.. haa.aa..
Khamoshiyaann.. teri meri
khamoshiyaannn...
Khamoshiyaann.. lipti hue
khamoshiyaann...
The voice is heard out in the woods under the
starlit sky...
Geet keeps following the voice and
reaches the riverbanks...
She becomes very emotional as she
feels very much attached to that voice and it's owner...
Nadiya ka pani bhi khamosh behtaa
yahann..
Khili chandani mai chipi lakh
khamoshiyaann...
it starts to drizzle...
Geet welcomes the rain dancing as she always does...
and the sond continues...
Barish ki bonndon ki hoti kahan
hai zubaann..
Sulagte dilonn mai hai khamosh
uthta dhuaann..
Khamoshiyaannn.. akaash hai..
Tum udne toh aao zaraa...
Geet feels the rain drops on her palms and she looks at the dark clouds and smiles...
Khamoshiyaannn.. ehsaas hai...
Tumhe mehsus hoti hai kya..
haan Geet ko inn Khamoshiyaan ke ehsaas hai...
Beqararr hai baat karne ko..
Kehne do inko zaraa.. haa..aa...
Khamoshiyaaannn.. teri meri
khamoshiyaannn..
Khamoshiyaaann.. lipti hue
khamoshiyaannn..
The voice stops...
Geet tries to listen
carefully...but there is complete silence...
Thought she couldn't hear the
voice she could feel the presence of him...
Geet: kaun hai aap? Mujhe kyun bar
bar bachathe ho? jab mein aap ke paas hone ko mehsoos kar sakthi toh mein aapko
kyun nahi dekh sakthi? Aap mere samne kyun nahi aathe? Kyun chup chup ke rehthe
ho?
Just then she hears a voice...:
Geet, jab tum mujhe mehsoos kar sakthi aur mere awaaz ko sun sakthi toh tum
chaho toh tum mujhe dekh bhi sakthi
Geet tries to concentrate and
wishes hard to see him...
Suddenly she finds an image
unfolding infront of her...
That soul who had been waiting for
ages to get a glimpse of her...
Who had been with her and
constantly watching and protecting her always...
Who had been longing for her to
realize that there is a someone who is madly in love with her...
Who had been waiting for this very
moment when their eyes could meet and his long waiting could end
atlast...his only wish could be fulfilled...
Slowly she finds the clear
image...
She is immersed in a strange
feeling and she tries to see him to recognize him...
She now realizes that it's he who
had been following her all the while and who had always been with her all the
time...
She looks into his longing eyes and
she knows that they had only been watching her and it's been their full time
duty...
Their eyes meet...Maneet
eyelock...
They are lost in each other as
they try to realize what's happening...
His face seems to be very familiar
to her...
She doesn't have the feeling of
meeting a stranger...
He is not a stranger, he is a part
of her life...a part of her soul...
Yes, Geet knows this man...Geetshe
remembers him now...
It's Maan Singh Khurana...her
love, her life...in her last birth...
Geet remembers their love
story...
As their eyes starts speaking with
each other again after so many years they relive their love story again...
They were two love birds from
Punjab and as usual their families were dead against their love...
They try to separate them
somehow...
MSK and Geet Handa decide to leave
their families and start a life of their own...
Flash back...
One fine day Maan and Geet escape
from their homes and start their lovely journey of life together...
After wandering around the Kashmir
valley they settle at Ramban...
They rent this beautiful guest
house and make this their sweet home...
After so many days of running and
hiding they feel safe atlast and they could breath easily now...
Maan feels guilty that Geet had to
endure so much hardship b'coz of him...
But Geet makes him realize that
she's the happiest person in the world now...
Maan is sitting on the steps and
Geet is lying on his lap...
Maan stokes her hair and Geet
makes herself comfortable...
Maan wants to ask her something
and Geet knows it from his gestures...
She gets ready to listen to Maan...
Geet: bolo Maan
Maan: Geet
Maan couldn't face her directly
and he is looking into the sky as he starts the conversation...
Geet: hmm
Maan: kya tum yahan kush ho?
Geet doesn't answer...
Maan: jawab do Geet
Geet: kya aap sach mein jaana
chahthe ki mein yahan kush hoon ya nahi?
Maan: haan
Geet: toh aap hamesha ke tarah
mere aankhon mein dekho, aapka jawab wahi pe milega aapko
Geet puts her hands around his
neck and pulls his head down...
Geet turns his face towards
her...
Maan looks into her eyes...
They are twinkling bright as the
stars and are full of dreams...dreams of their future, their love, their
family, their kids and their kids...their parenthood and their
grandparenthood...
So many big big dreams in those
tiny hazel eyes...
And there is no sign of fear or
insecurities...
They are full of faith in Maan and
full of hope that her Maan can never fail his duties as a partner...
Geet smiles looking at Maan...
Geet: aapka jawab milagyi na?
Maan smiles...: haan
Maan bends down and kisses
her...
Maan decides to fulfill all her
dreams ...
He finds an odd job at the village
itself...
Geet joins the nearby school as a
teacher for small kids...
And they start a life of their own
and are very happy and content in their small world...
They walk on the river bank in the
evenings and share their wishes...
Maan puts his arm around her waist
and Geet rests her head on his shoulder as they slowly walk and talk...
Maan's only wish is to see his
Mishty happy...
Geet starts narrating her
wish...her dream...Maan listens eagerly...
And Geet's wish is to stay with
her Maan always...have a small family of two kids, one girl and one boy...
Their son would always support her
while their daughter would support Maan...
They can count the stars at night
and they can play games, like the team that spots the most stars would
win...
While the father and the daughter
would sincerely start counting the stars the mother and the son would just start
counting as fast as they could and say that they have spotted a million stars
and that they have won...
The daughter would say that they
have cheated and the son would argue that there are millions of stars and they
can't see them as the father and daughter are blind...
While the children are busy
fighting with each other their parents would start their secret romance...
As Geet tells about their romance
Maan pulls her closer and hugs her...
As the cold breeze blows to freeze
them they keep themselves warm with each other's closeness...
When they reach home Geet wants to
get the dinner ready and goes straight to the kitchen...
Maan follows her there and starts
disturbing her by touching her and
kissing her...
Geet: Maan, mujhe khana pakana hai
Maan: tum apna kaam karo Geet, aur
mein chup chap apna kaam kartha
Geet: Maan?
Maan: Geet, ab mujhe koi bhook
nahi lagtha
Maan lifts her and takes her to
the bed room...
Geet: par Maan abhi toh humme
dinner karna hai
Maan closes her mouth with his
finger...
Maan: ssshhh chup bilkul
chup
Geet goes silent...
Maan continues his romance...
They get engaged with themselves
forgetting everything...
After mahi mahi Geet comes back to
her senses and smells something burning...
She remembers leaving the curry on
the stove...
Geet: Maaan ye aapne
kya kiya? jaldhi jaake dekho kya jal raha hai
Maan picks up his towel and runs
to find everything burnt...
He switches off the stove and
returns...
Geet: kay hua? Pura ka pura jal
gaya?
Maan: hmmm
Geet: ab kya karenge? Sab aap ke
wajjhe se hi hua hai
Maan: tum fikar mat karo, tum yahi
aaram karo Geet, mein abhi aatha hoon
Geet keeps waiting as she is
hungry...she knows she has to sleep with an empty stomach tonight...
She then wants to get some fruits
to eat...
But Maan had asked her to stay
there...
Geet shouts...: Maaan kya
kar rahe ho? mujhe bahut bhook lagthi hai, mere liye fruits lana
Maan just comes in with Geet's
favorite maggi...
Geet jumps off the bed and grabs the
plate...
She starts relishing her maggi as
Maan admires his Mishty eating her maggi in style...
And their life continues with
their love and care as they live the most beautiful days of their life
together...
One day Geet's family gets to know
about their whereabouts and they come and take Geet forcefully back...
Geet never saw Maan after
that...
She kept waiting for Maan to come
and rescue her from her family but Maan never rerurned...
She didn't know what happened and
where he went...
She lived with the memories of
Maan and she became insane...
She started to speak with
herself...she keeps mimicking like Maan interacting with her...
Her family try to get her married
but she loses her mind and she lives as a mentally ill patient, as a pagal for
the rest of her life confined in her room living with her Maan in her
imaginations till her last breadth...
That was her sotry in her last
birth, now she has reborn as Geet at the very same place where her Maan's soul
is dwelling...
Geet is scared of losing her love
again...
Man reads her mind...
Maan: gabrao mat Geet, iss bar tum
donno akhele nahi ho, mein hoon tumare saath, ab tum donno ko koi alag nahi kar
saktha
Geet is still not convinced, she
is worried that she might not be able to live with her love...
Geet tells Dev about the person
who is helping them and it's not a real person but a spirit...
Dev doesn't belive her and he
thinks that they should get out of this place soon...
Geet is not ready to leave this
place...
Dev tells her that they should get
married soon and then no one can come inbetween them then...
Dev will take her to his hometown
Mumbai and there they can lead a peaceful life...
She asks Dev to arrange for the
wedding while she will stay safe at this guest house...
No one dares to step inside this
place as they know that this place is haunted...
Dev promises to return as soon as
possible with help...
He asks Geet to stay safe and not
to step out of the house...
After Dev leaves starts living
with Maan just like they used to live then...
They return to their golden
days...
They keep chatting with each other
as Geet does her work dusting and cleaning that place and bringing it back to
it's original look...
She makes it her home and she
forgets about Dev...
She wants to know what happened to
Maan afterwards and why he never came to see her...
And why he didn't get another
life...why is he still here roaming as a spirit...
Maan doesn't want to mak her sad
by telling his story and he asks her to think about her future and forget about
their past...their love story is over and they can't reunite as Maan is only
a spirit, but Geet has got a life to live and also a lover who loves her so
much...
Maan asks her to marry Dev and
leave this place...
He just wishes to see her
happy...
He only asks her never to come
back to see him as that would make her feel guilty and sad...
He asks her to forget all this
like a dream and get back to her real life...get back to Dev...
Maan is ready to help them get
married...
But Geet says that she will listen
to Maan only when he tells her the whole story...
What happened to him and why he became
like this...
Maan starts telling his story...
After Geet left her family members
beat up Maan and ask him to leave Geet...
They offer him money to go away
from Geet's life...
Maan roars that his love is not
for sale and he will keep loving Geet till his last breadth and that no one can
separate them...
Then they offer him a secured jod
and house abroad and ask him to leave the country and never to retrun...
Maan refuses and says that Geet is
his life and he can only forget her after his death...
Then they say that it's time for
him to die...
They beat him till deadth...Maan
keeps chanting Geet's name till his last breadth...
They hang him at the entrance of
this guest house...
Thus Maan's life ended...
But as his wish to live to see his
Mishty happy is not fulfilled his soul couldn't rest in peace and is still
roaming this place...
Geet then remembers how Maan
followed her wherever she went...
All those times when she wandered
in the woods under the sun and the moon, not scared of the silences but feeling
happy to be alone enjoying the silence of the valley...
She never felt alone and she
always felt that she had company...
Yes, that was her Maan giving her
company...
And when she found Dev stalking
her she mistook him as her invisible stalker...
Now she realizes that she had
mistaken Dev for Maan and she only loves Maan...
She decides to end this separation
and reunite with her Maan...
She madly runs out of the place
...
She starts climbing a
cliff...Maan knows her intentions and tries to use his powers to stop her...
But all his power have no effect
infront of his love...
He is helpless...
He keeps
shouting...Geeet rukh jao Geeet rukho, mere liye rukh jao
Geeet
But Geet is determined to go back
to her Maan...
She runs and jumps to her
death...
Her soul soars up high and merges
with Maan's...
Now with their wishes fulfilled
they reach heaven together and live together happily forever...
Dev returns and finds about Geet's
end...
He has got his story...and
Maneet love story becomes eternal in the heavens and also on earth as Dev's
first successful BW movie "Khamoshiyaan -starring Gurti"...mahi continues
