I'm Sonali, a scriptwriter. [0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=3) You called me in to narrate the film story. [0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=6) Hmm, sit down. Start talking. [0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=12) Uh, ma'am, my film opens in 1984, when PM Indira Gandhi was killed by her two Sikh bodyguards, and as news of this spread… Wait, wait. [0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=22) What did you say? Sikh bodyguards? Yes, ma'am. [0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=25) Did I say something wrong? Wrong? Very wrong. [0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=30) Every bit of this is wrong. We can't show this, man. [0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=33) You cannot bring religion here. Uh, ma'am, but this is history. [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=38) It's a historical fact. To hell with history. [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=42) I don't want to make a film and get banned. [0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=44) I'll get death threats, man. We make films to make money. [0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=49) We're not making this film to die as martyrs in a revolution. [0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=54) But ma'am, the facts have to be right… Hey, there's no right or wrong in India. [0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=58) Right and wrong are immaterial in India. [1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=61) Here, what's right is what's politically correct. [1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=64) Something that won't hurt anyone's feelings, won't get the govt on you, and won't land you in court. [1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=69) Ma'am, then what should I do? Hmm, do one thing. [1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=74) Uh, show that, uh… Brahmin bodyguards killed her. [1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=77) The bodyguards in your story, those two, they're Brahmins. [1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=81) Uh, Brahmins? Ma'am, won't the Brahmins get upset? [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=85) Oh, why would they get upset? If they get upset, they'll be a bit upset. [1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=88) These people speak up on social media and then quiet down. [1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=91) They don't take to the streets. They're everyone's favorite punching bag. [1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=96) We can take a few punches at them too. Ma'am, then should I remove the bodyguards? [1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=100) Oh, why remove them? Show that some Mishra guy, some Sharma, some Dwivedi or Trivedi Brahmin, uh… [1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=107) was unhappy with Indira Gandhi's pro-Dalit policy and went to kill her, while the two Sikh bodyguards were protecting Indira Gandhi. [1:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=115) There was a gunfight, and in it... both Sikh bodyguards were martyred. [1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=119) And those two Brahmins... put all the blame on those Sikh bodyguards. [2:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=123) Yes, do that. That should work. Ma'am, this has turned into a complete mess. [2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=129) Hey, what's the mess? It's safe. Pictures like this do great at the box office. [2:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=134) Make the changes I told you about... then let me know. [2:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EpanQXq9deyn/en/satire-on-rewriting-indira-gandhi-s-assassination-in-a-film-script?t=138) Okay, ma'am.
