Stop
Brother
My little...
darling
One request, sir
Ever since we married, l have never taken Preeti for a vacation
She would be happy if l did
Why not, Rajesh? Just let me know your programme
Actually, we wanted to leave this evening
But there's a very important business meeting tomorrow
l you could take of the meeting that'd be fine
Very well, Rajesh. Go on. l'll take care of everything
Mr. Kapoor, granted that in Rajesh you have a very responsible hand...
taking care of your businesses. But l would rather that...
you sank your differences and called Ajay back
They are here
Yes, Rajesh was told me about this business meeting
What's this...? - A notice, Mr. Kapoor
We're here to collect the 500 million you borrowed by raising mortgages
You are overdrawn. Worse, your cheques bouncing one after another...
jeopardises our reputation too. - Your factories and residences...
are all pledged. Those are the papers. Liquidation is the only way out now
Such a big deception? The financial markets are in a tumult
Rajesh
Only aim in my life was to make it rich
No matter how much l earned, all l could've afforded...
was a middle-lass existence like millions others. So l think it over
And l target Mr. Vijay Kapoor. l win him over, get myself employed
There l come to know that his biggest weakness is his daughter Preeti
l present myself to Preeti so as to make her fall in love with me...
the path that leads right into his home. Mr. Vijay Kapoor wanted...
to give me a car, an apartment, everything. But l wasn't begging
He takes it for a sacrifice, and takes me in, like a son
My first victory. - Now the biggest hurdle in my way...
was Vijay Kapoor's son Ajay. l hear father and son conversing...
and l realise that their approaches to life are entirely different
When Vijay Kapoor sent his son to the factory to learn the ropes...
l played my next card. Hari Singh, what man will stand by and watch...
his brother-in-law getting bashed up? - No one
Ajay loses his temper, he beats up Hari Singh. And this rascal...
he takes it without a whimper. Then he calls for a strike...
which unsettles Vijay Kapoor so much that he forces his son to apologise
And the way l did it to him! lt was like a lashing in public
Then what happens? Holy war between father and son begins
Ajay asks his father to finance his business, he refuses
ln the heat of the moment, Ajay borrows money on personal bonds
And l publish the news in my paper. - Mr. Khanna, your news was like...
adding fuel to fire. Yes, Vijay Kapoor is infuriated, he offers his son...
to name his price to buy him out. l rub the salt into his wounds
l incite him upto the point when he asks me to leave him alone
l confront Preeti with the analogy that l'm no better than a dog...
in her brother's home, in her father's home. Son is son, dog is dog
l incite Preeti till she decides to walk out that moment
Mr. Vijay Kapoor was raging already like a wounded lion. Our departure...
was like a stab in his wound. For one last time, father and son quarrelled
And unwittingly, Ajay pushes me. l pretend to stagger and fall
That provokes Vijay Kapoor to throw his son out. My second victory
Now l wanted to ensure that father and son re-unite, never
Opportunity arises in Priya's wedding. l had one wedding invitation printed
One sans Ajay's name. Then, l seize opportunity when...
Vijay Kapoor is moping over his son. l got him to sign in my favor...
a power of attorney. The beginning of ruination
l mortgaged all his factories and all his estates
For half the market price. Papers were drawn up for full market value
A relationship made a pauper out of Vijay Kapoor. And l have used...
my relationship to emerge a successful businessman
That's my success story
This court hereby permits Dalal Financiers...
to auction off Mr. Vijay Kapoor's estates to recover their dues
''Yesterday's truths are today's legends''
''Homes plundered brick by brick''
''ln moments, friends become strangers''
''Memories are so dear''
''Ruination, long shadows of sorrow are all that remain''
''And empty, tearful eyes''
''What's left of life?''
''Oh, what's left of life?''
What will happen now, Ma?
This isn't just a house. This is Papa's honour
l won't let it go under the hammer. Never
''Don't punish me for loving you''
''Don't betray my love''
''l'm yours, you're mine''
''You are lost in my eyes''
''Trust me''
''l'm madly in love''
''Madly in love with you''
''l pray for you''
''l desire you''
''l'm in love with you''
''Don't ever stop loving me''
''Promise me''
''Don't make me cry''
''Don't punish me for loving you''
''My heart beats for you''
''My lips speak your name''
''You, l thirst for''
''l don't want to be taken away from you''
''You are my hope''
''Don't destroy my world''
''Don't punish me for loving you''
Why are you so late Ajay? l've been worried
l had been home
What home...? - My home
To Mummy-Papa
And l...? You took such a big decision all by yourself?
l need no one's permission to go home
Where were they, when you were being thrown out?
Where were they, when you were devastated deep down inside...
when you needed someone to take care of you? Tell me Ajay. Then...
no one came by to even care! What is this sudden surge of sentiment?
They are worse off than l am. My Papa is sick
His factories, his residence is going under the hammer
ln that state, l can never desert him. That's my religion, that's my duty
Your every loyalty begins and ends with me. When they deserted you...
l was the only one who stood by you. l too had my Daddy
Towards him, l had my loyalties too. But for love's sake...
l spurned everything, to be with you. And today, in this condition...
when it's you whom l need the most, you want to leave me?
Who wants to leave you? l have never stayed away from you. Nor can l ever
You are a part of our family
They will love you. They never dismissed you as a stranger
Why should you estrange yourself? - With you, l've vowed to stand...
in joy and in sorrow. But partaking only a portion of your love...
is not acceptable to me
Where are you going?
Listen... listen to me Ajay! Don't leave me today
l must go
lf that's the imperative, then at this moment...
you will decide whether to cast your lot with your parents or with me
For the sake of our relationship, you want to break other relationships?
Nisha, it's your wish. To stand by me, or not, the decision is in your hands
Daddy, take me away from here
Ma, how are you?
Where's Nisha? You didn't bring her along?
Ma, you're about to become a grandma. So l left her in her father's care
Such good news! And you didn't inform us...?
Pratima, l need no one's sympathy, no one's charity
Vijay Kapoor is down but not out
l still have the strength enough to fight my battles... to win
Papa, listen to me... - Tell him l wish to speak to no one
Your Papa hasn't been keeping well of late. He has become irritable
Don't mind him, son. - No Ma, not his fault at all
lt's all my fault
Ma, l still remember crawling quietly onto Papa's lap...
whenever he was angry with me. He'd scold me at first. Then...
he'd shower me with love. l don't even remember the awakening of my ego
He told me to leave, and l left. Had l only embraced him...
would he not have forgiven me? He would, wouldn't he, Ma...?
Yes
My ego has ruined this house, destroyed everything that was mine
l have made everyone so unhappy, made you unhappy too, Ma...?
No... - Forgive me, Ma
l could cope with you growing up. But you've become magnanimous...
l see for the first time
Papa
Anger, pride, leads man on the path of self-destruction
And often one misunderstands the one's own benefactor
That error committed, one loses his benefactor
Vijay, you are committing that very mistake
By the time you realise, regret...
l fear it may be too late...
to repent. This is the only reason why l'm stopping you
Don't misbehave with him
Give him your love, be gentle. Don't give him a prize, if you won't
But at least, don't insult him
Who is it?
Why don't you speak?
What kind of a joke is this?
Who is this?
Who's speaking? - Ankit Dalal of Dalal Financiers
Yes go on, l'm his son Ajay. - Mr. Ajay, by now...
you should've arrived at a decision whether to you pay me or not. Else...
l shall proceed with the auctioning. - We won't let it be auctioned
Nor will l tolerate men of your ilk calling up
Mr. Dalal, stay within your limits. - Why take it out on me?
l'm just a businessman. You ought to talk to your brother-in-law
He is the one who pawned your house
Ajay, would you like a cup of tea? - l'm not here, your guest. Tell me...
did Papa make a mistake in giving you a job? he gave you a new life
Was that his mistake? He loved you, gave you respect. Was that his crime?
Why did you deceive my Papa?
You have ruined my home, robbed us of our peace, our happiness. Why?
Ajay, you want justice? Go to court. Levelling allegations against me...
won't make me a wrongdoer. l cheated no one, deceived none. l used my brains
l did business with a family of weeping fools. And l made my money
The relationship ties my hands. Else, you'd weep tears of blood
And you'd come walking home to us to return our money
Old adage, Ajay. The sister's husband is more precious than most by far
l can be charitable. A five, a ten, twenty, fifty, hundred...?
Not in millions. Units. Proffer that hand, supplicate
Never have l stood in supplication. lf ever, that'd be a slip on my part
But it will cost you dearly. - You will raise your hands...
on your brother-in-law? Ajay, l won't tolerate fools and madmen for long
Open the door
Open up
Police station? There's an arsonist in my house! He's wreaking havoc
Hurry up and come over. Yes, write down my address
Ajay! Stop
Leave him! - Preeti, he has ruined us
He mustn't be spared. He ought to be...
Ajay! For my sake
Are you all right? - Where's the goon?
Mr. Rajesh, where's the goon?
Arrest him
He's the arsonist!
Give me a medical examination. Frame him! Make sure...
he doesn't even get bail. - You...
Hey you goon! - You saw that?
He accosts me in your presence! - What's your name?
Behave yourself. l'm Ajay Kapoor, Vijay Kapoor's son, get that?
You're Vijay Kapoor's son? - Yes
Son, why all this? You end up in the cophouse. He has a case against you
Stop eyeballing me
Get lost. - Where are you taking him?
What's all this going on? - You end up in the lock-up
What are you up to?
Sign this
Show him out. Let decent folks be
Come on out
Never in my life have l ever been to a police station. All because of you...
l was forced to sit in that hell for hours. Of this violence..
what can be the outcome? Come on, tell me. God forbid...
if something happened to Rajesh, you would've made Preeti a widow
All your life you'd be in jail, and we'd be the worse off for it
D'you think violence will solve your problems? Don't you forget...
Rajesh is my son-in-law. lf he is as much as touched...
it's our Preeti who will suffer. Easy task that was for me
The worst of goons in town, kiss my doorstep. ln minutes, it'd be done
Preeti is trying to reason with Rajesh. She's trying to change him
A miracle might happen
Rajesh, you are my husband. lt's my duty to tell you
lt's not too late. Return Papa's money. Apologise to him. You have my word...
Papa will respect you even more. - As long as the money is mine...
my clout l have. l needn't go seeking. - But the money isn't yours, Rajesh
My family has never wished you ill. lnstead, they embraced you
Believe me, had you asked Papa for the money, he would've given it to you...
with a smile. - As in alms?
You wanted me to beg of your father? - lnstead, you deceive him, rob him?
l deceived no one! l did business, l used my brains
Had l sourced it from elsewhere, you would've had a splash, enjoyed it
But you sermonise me, because l made it off your father?
l'll-gotten gains, be it from anywhere, l would never touch
Rajesh, money made this way lasts all of a very short while
And the rest of your life will be a punishment
Please Rajesh, return these wages of sin
Preeti, you have no right to disabuse my efforts as sin
And don't you think that because l love you and l respect you...
l will go on listening to whatever you have to say
Don't meddle with my business
Our laws are fabricated around loopholes
lsn't there any way to prevent this auction?
Mr. Malhotra, can't we procure a stay order...
so as to give us at least some time to think...?
Consider the stay order granted. l will get hearings postponed...
by four, maybe six months. The appeal will be filed tomorrow
Look at that. - The car's turn to con us
Make yourself comfortable on the bench. Let me look for a mechanic
Back in five minutes
Sahib! You don't recognise me? l'm Rameshwar... sandwich-man
l used to vend sandwiches outside your factory
What a business l had! Roaring, rip-roaring
What evil eye was it? Factory closed down...
Sahib, l hear talk of the factory being pulled down for highrises...?
Sahib, the poor workers worship you. For them, you are the breadwinner
They have faith, the Sahib won't let them starve
Your faith, your prayers will surely help us save the factory
Sahib, one request. Before you leave, do eat one of my sandwiches
No, let it be. - Go on Papa, have one
You've never broken anyone's heart. Don't break his
Make us a sandwich. Lots of peppers
Coming right up, sahib. - Make it fast. l'm hungry
Thanks
Have a bite, Papa. - No, go on
Have one piece, Papa. - l want nothing
Since when did you start eating so much peppers?
You remember feeding me on your lap when l was a baby? lt was so bland
Not even a dash of pepper. And you'd eat that bland stuff with me. But...
you loved eating peppers, pepper was your weakness
So l had this sandwich spiced up, to enjoy your kind of taste
Papa, ever since my childhood, whenever l stumbled, whenever l fell...
it was you who has been helping me up on my feet. Today...
when you falter before a storm, can l not support you?
Why will you not let me hold your hand...
Papa...?
Am l the one on your mind? Every moment, l've been missing you
Let's put an end to this missing each other
Ajay, it was my mistake! l fought with you for no reason
Forgive me, forgive me Ajay! Without you, l can't live
Knowingly, unknowingly, if l ever committed any mistake, forgive me
l love you so much
All dressed up and going where?
Today's Brothers' Day. l'm going... - You aren't going anywhere
You aren't feting any brother
For all you're worth, try stopping me today
To our relationship, l've given in. But not to slavery
You cannot force me not to fete my brothers
What brother? Don't forget, that brother raised his hand...
against your husband. - Not against my husband
He raised his hand against a traitor, a thief, a fraud who looted my father
l, a thief? A fraud? Rather than let you go to see that scum...
l'd tie a lodestone around your neck and throw you into the sea to drown
Don't you try to force your way into my house
Who broke down this door? - He! Once again. Arrest him
Today's Brothers' Day. And he wouldn't let me see my sister
Now l get everything! Listen here...
what are you, man? No power on earth can keep a brother from seeing...
his sister on Brother's Day. And till date, no law's for holding a brother...
because he wants to see his sister on Brothers' Day... hey, are you mad?
Ajay, this day every year, a sister has the right to ask her brother for a gift
Tell me Sister, what do you want? - The vow of protecting your sister
Today, l ask you to protect me. Take me home
Take me away from here, forever
Take me home
Fool, who saves your day now?
As long as she lived in your house, she shielded you. Now she's gone
Now brother, who saves you? God help you
Forgive me! The entire family is paying for one mistake of mine
Paying...? What do you mean? Look at me
lt's just happenstance. You aren't the only one who was mistaken...
about Rajesh. l was mistaken, your mother was mistaken...
others in the family went wrong too. You know how man differs from God?
lt's human to err in the judgement of men. God doesn't. Thus He's God
As far as relationships are concerned, yes men are deceived at times
One who breaks off, loses everything
Ones who conjoin, thrive forever
For parents, the greatest happiness is the joy of their children
Today, the entire family has again come together
Who could be as lucky a mother as l am?
Now let's celebrate Brothers' Day
Ma, aren't we missing someone? Nisha? - Yes, Nisha
Ajay, why don't you bring Nisha home? - Tonight you bring her home
Must have a look-see at my friend, now that she's my sister-in-law
Priya is at her father's. Let her rest. - No more Ajay. We'll see to it...
that she gets more comforts than she has at her father's home
Wonderful! lf a useless fellow like me lives off the lay of the land...
why can't the bride? - And we have yet to give her...
her fertility rites. - Our prime duty is to protect our turf
Fertility rites can wait. - Why? We might be going...
through trying times. But her ritual we will give her
Even the poorest who can't afford it, will put a lamp at their doorstep...
to celebrate the Festival of Lights. - Not another word. Bring her home
We'll start preparing for her fertility rites
You can take Nisha with you, provided you sign these papers
Very well sir, let me take her home
l'll have these papers sent back with Nisha
Nisha, l have a request. Please don't let my folks get to know...
how things are between us
''Your coming lights up my home''
''Blessed is my home, l adore you''
''Oh, we're all so happy''
''My nights were so stark So stark my days were''
''How do l tell you, how l lived through the separation''
''You're back, and my home is all lit up''
''Blessed is my home, l adore you''
''Oh, we're all so happy''
''You called out to me, and here l am''
''My lost life, l've found again''
''ln you, l have found my every happiness''
''The chasm is bridged, our home is all lit up''
''Blessed is my home, l adore you''
''Oh, we're all so happy''
''Tears of joy fill my eyes, l cannot hold my tears back''
''What else have l to say? My tears have said it all''
''Look, how smiles bring cheer''
''Blessed is my home, l adore you''
''Your coming lights up my home''
''Blessed is my home, l adore you''
''Oh, we're all so happy''
l will make do with whatever we have, every sorrow l shall bear
But l don't want to leave you Ajay. l don't want to go away
l want to be here. With you.
Once we held hands, we swore to be together for a lifetime
But today, you're about to leave me forever
Ajay, l want something from you. - l know. Here you are
What's this? - Divorce papers
Divorce...?
Your father is waiting for you. Come downstairs
Daddy! Take me home Daddy. - Yes my child
What did he have to say about the stay order?
lt has been dismissed
Not to worry. Today or tomorrow, Brij is arriving from London
l'll have the money once he's here. Find out when he's expected
What if he doesn't arrive in time? - Then you and l are going somewhere
Friends, l come before you to plead. All that was in my power...
to save the factory, l have done. But l don't think l will be able...
to save the factory. The relationship we shared, l wanted to nurture...
as long as l lived. For this lapse...
if you can, forgive me
What did Uncle Brij have to say? - He's right here, in town
But for our family, he's away in London
Papa made friends with a businessman, but his friendship was a trade-off
lt's best for Papa not to know this. He was Papa's last hope
He won't live through the shock of it. - Oh, what is to happen now?
Get a hold on yourself. l still have faith, everything's going to be fine
Stop! What's going on?
Let go of him, l say
Are you out of your mind?
For 2 months the factory has been shut! - We're starving to death
We have no future left! And he's enjoying himself
He's living it up! Drinking everyday!
Having girls... having fun! No sparing him! Burn him alive
This is wrong! He had no hand in closing down the factory
Go, and try to share with them their sorrows
Share a joy, and joy abounds
Share a grief, and its burden is lessened. Take care of them
You saved my life... why? Why this mercy, unasked for?
Why mercy to a criminal? Why make the workers feel for me?
You don't know! l took you on at the factory for a purpose
l disgraced you by forcing you to apologise to me
But l wasn't like this always. Time was when l'd die for my employer
What my employer has done for us, l knew. Food, clothing, housing
He even built a school for our children
But for just a little money, l forgot it all
l even forgot that unless the machines work in the factory...
our kitchen fires will not be lit. My employer l have betrayed
After this day, no employer will ever trust his employee
Never will workers trust their leaders
A beating, they might forgive
But l have deprived them of their livelihood
For the grave crime that l've committed...
their families are paying. l forgot! No worker can ever prosper...
once his employer is ruined. Sahib, my loyalties lie nowhere
Not with my employer, not with my fellow-workers
My loyalties lie nowhere! Kill me, hack me to pieces
l have no right to live
No Hari Singh, get a hold on yourself
You have repented, and that is enough
No! l shall atone
l shall
Come, let's stake our lives! Don't let our employers come to harm
One fight we have lost, but this war we shall win
Too late Hari Singh
Too late now
We haven't the time to put together so much money
We've lost our home, our factory
l'm his wife, and a married woman will never take off her wedding necklace...
till her husband is alive. This is the mark of the woman's faith in her man
lt's in faith that l entrust you with this. Keep it
This can never be! l appreciate your feelings. But the truth is...
this won't be enough to pool the money. - lt'll be done. lt will be done
Our homes... they are yours
These four thousand homes, for you
Mortgage these. But save your house, save our factory
Our dreams, our tomorrows, our future are all tied to you
Say, we're with you
We're with you
lf l have your prayers, your blessings, your sacrifices...
then this war we'll surely win
Begging from beggars to buy back the house and the factory?
Mr. Khanna, you will bid for me when the bungalow is being auctioned
The factory we'll buy out at cost-plus
Did you have to pay in the earnest money...
for the bidding without as much as a thought?
You expect Rajesh to leave anything to chance? And where comes...
the rest of the money from? - No matter how much Rakesh bids...
but we'll save this house from falling. Uncle will bid for us
This mansion was mortgaged for 500 million
Not a cent in my pocket, and here l am, bidding
l will go on raising the bid. But do you have the money?
Just keep upping the stake
Businessmen and the workers are both bidding
The floor price is 500 million
51 0 million
600 million
61 0 million
700 million
71 0 million
800 million
Come on gentlemen, bid
81 0 million
Bid 900 million
900 million
91 0 million
1 billion
1 billion from Mr. Khanna
Look like no one is going to cross a billion
No more voices?
The bidding seems to be over
1 billion... one... two...
1 .25 billion
Back out
Anyone bidding more?
1 .25 billion... one... two...
Three. Sold
Do you realise what papers you have just signed?
The transfer deed? - No. Undertaking to the government
Unless you deposit 1 .25 billion in 2 days, you've lost your earnest money
This moment's victory is meaningless. This is a far worse insult
When the court attaches the earnest money...
the world will laugh at us. - Trust me. l'll organise everything
The money isn't exactly raining. Nor have you found a treasure
Where will you find so much? - We're going to have it
''l'm new in town. Give me a hug''
''And slake your thirst''
''Look at me, my wild ones''
''Such beauty you will never find''
''Come and look me up''
''For that which comes to mind''
''Don't give me that light flutter in my heart, it makes me pine''
''Don't desert me, after those promises''
''Don't let the wait rob the opportunity''
''Just make love to me, once''
''Ask me out, wherever you want''
''Drown your sorrows, come to me''
''Look at me, my wild ones''
''Such beauty you will never find''
''Come and look me up''
''Talk your hearts out''
''Give me thirst in my eyes, the colour to my cheeks, the welt on my lips''
''Take from me the colour of my tresses, my blush, the throb in me''
''Let me have the first taste Spring''
''Snatches of a night together, but give me all the fun''
''l'm more tender than a blossom Take me in your arms''
''Hold my fragrance under your breath''
''Hey wild ones...''
''Such beauty you will never find''
''Come and look me up''
''For that which comes to mind''
There's an arsonist in my house
Can't hear... louder
Bad line
This one is a really bad sort
Don't take the call if the phone rings
Let the folks tear him apart
No! Ajay, forgive me!
For Preeti's sake! Forgive me
From Hinduja Hospital
You've fathered a son
What are you doing? Put my baby down! He's crying
You hear him crying, but you couldn't hear me weep for my parents?
l don't want to hear that malicious crap
You have ruined my life, taken away my happiness
You have no right to that baby! You have divorced me
Because that was what you wanted
Lies... lies
Lies? Ask your Daddy. Divorce was the condition...
he laid down for letting me take you home for the ritual
Daddy would never do anything as evil! - Ask your Dad
And if you weren't part of it, you can come home whenever you want
l'm taking my son. - Where are you taking my son?
Don't take my baby away
He's taking my son away
Why doesn't someone stop him?
Taking a child away from its mother is a grave sin
l beg of you! Ajay, don't take my baby away from me. For my sake
Don't take my baby away. l won't live for a moment without him
l'm going to die
You'll die? You'll kill yourself?
For this child one-day-old child? What about the son...
you wanted to take away from parents who reared him for 25 years?
For them, he is their hope. Wouldn't that separation...
from their son, kill them?
Sir! Save my life, sir!
They're going to kill me!
At a word from you, they will turn away
l beg you for my life! l'm your son-in-law
l married your daughter, sir!
You need not tell me what your relationship is with me
This house you did not enter seeking a relationship
You came here to do business
You know what makes a businessman?
A businessman is applies himself, his skill, his time diligently...
this is what he trades, in recompense wherefor...
he earns
You are n businessman. You are merely an opportunist...
who cunningly shrouded his ambitions in the cloak of a relationship...
to deceive people. You are a cheat
And you could con me only because l trusted you
And you poisoned my trust
Even snakes sometimes spare their prey
But snake in the grass, that you are, you spared no one
You engaged me in a game of snakes and ladders
At every opportunity, you climbed a ladder
You ruined the very ones who reposed their trust in you
Then you forgot all about the snake at 99...
that takes the player all the way down...
to where there's no chance of a climb again
Where did you take your education? Where were you taught...
this triumph of the evil? Not one story tells you that
How then, did you expect the outcome of this story to be different?
Did you expect to pen a new novel?
How could you imagine that?
Now l'll teach you how to do business
Now you will say in your own words, what price that life of yours?
1 00,000, 1 million, 1 0 million, 50 million?
You have time till the workers break down that door and barge in
No hurry
Here l sir, relaxed
But the price to your life, you will have to name
Come out
Out
Kill him
l'll return everything! Everything, sir!
All of it
Sign it
l grew up a motherless child. l was never told that once married...
a woman makes her husband's home her only home. Forgive me...
as you'd forgive your daughter
You see son, in cases of certain relationships, one has to forgive
And l think, the others in this family will forgive you too
Where's Preeti? - This is for you
Rajesh, members of my family might have forgiven you
