Shankar
No!
Brother!
Brother, Brother!
Shankar, I couldn't take my sister away from here
You take my sister away from here
I leave Gauri in your care, Shankar
Brother!
Shankar
How dare you, you dog!
Shankar
Guards, after him, don't let him get away
No, Birjwa, I want him alive
Go
Brother, our enemy will die on their own
No, Birjwa, you don't know Shankar
Until I see his dead body, I will not believe he is dead
I need him, dead or alive. Bloody Fool!
Did you find out anything about Shankar?
We have dragged the whole river, couldn't find anything
You couldn't have tried hard enough
I will try now
Look, I tried, I have killed
Now I will find Gauri and Shankar
I will get you a hundred such girls Forget her
No, he has run away with my wife
My heart is broken
It is cracked; I will fill up the crack with their bodies
I will search every corner of the jungle
I will not rest until I have found him
D.I.G., have you heard?
about Shankars unfaithfulness
That's why I've brought these commandos
They will hunt him out of the jungle like hungry wolves
Hey, Birjwa!
These dogs were loyal to Shankar, they would have warned him
Good brains! Bloody Fool!
Guards, you search for them in the jungle along with Birjwa
I will search the skies for him with the D.I.G's help
Pilot, turn the helicopter, turn around
Where are you taking me so deep into the jungle, Birjwa?
Am I a tiger, a bear, a fox, a monkey or what? Eh? What am I?
And if we run into a wild buffalo, we've had it
Sir!
What, have we run into a buffalo?
Look at these footprints
Sir! Look at this earring
Hand me the walkie-talkie
Brother
Yes, Birjwa
Your guess was right, brother
What?
Yes, they are both alive
Is it?
We have found Gauri's earring and the footprints of both
Which way are the footprints headed?
What is it, brother?
They are hiding in the hill near the stream
Surround them
Okay, brother
Across the stream, back!
Good God!
Have you found them?
No, brother, and it's getting dark
Afternoon has changed into evening
Where have the two vanished?
Where the hell has this dark night entered into our search!
Bloody Fool
Raja Saheb, please have your dinner soon
the food is running out
I will not eat
Raja Saheb, please. Have some
No
Strange! Men live and die by food
But Raja Saheb gets irritated at the mention of food
Who knows, whether tomorrow again food is cooked in the jungle or not
Today we are eating food, tomorrow some animal may be eating us
Hey Commando
Go quick and get me some water ... plain water!
Doesn't matter, I will get it myself
Let's stay close together, this is a dense jungle
The man in front will not even come to know if the last man gets taken
Where did he go? Where are you?
Hey, they are hanging
Stop playing the fool, pal Come on down, down
They are not coming
Birjwa! Birjwa!
These two have also gone
That makes three in all
This search for Shankar is costing us dearly!
He is around somewhere
Find him! Find him!
Birjwa, hey Birjwa! Forget Shankar
The fuel tank has burst, hasn't it?
What happened?
Place has turned into a graveyard
One by one all have gone
That dumb fellow will rest only after
he turns us all into blind and deaf cripples
That bastard is trying out our tricks on us
Trying them? He is beating us at our own game
Medicine Man, you tell the bitter truth
Yes
It is in our own interest that we return
You mean, accept defeat at the hands of our own servant?
Even the hunter takes precautions when the lion turns man-eater
What rubbish are you talking?
If you don't heed that rubbish we'll all soon become village history!
The villagers will tell their children stories of Shankar's bravery
And they will see him as the saviour and us as a bunch of scoundrels
But, Raja Saheb, you do understand, eh?
Yes, we will go back
Shankar
No
Shankar
No
Shankar
No
Don't beat my Shankar. Don't beat him!
Shankar
What did you say? Your Shankar? Then who am I, you wretched woman?
Bloody Fool
Tol-Mol, has anyone ever been able to control the tempest of love?
Never, never
Look, like Shankar, I will also run away with Rasili
Run away, run away, run away
If Raja and his army could not stop Shankar, what can my father do?
Look, look there comes my father
Look at my father coming here with such a long face
Father, why are you looking so glum?
Father, you are looking very worried
Come on, tell me
Son, you were right that day
When a girl is forcibly married to an old man, the outcome is bad
because it is against nature
Hasn't Shankar proved this by running off with Gauri
How I wish this were true...
That they had not fallen into the Raja's hands!
Father, what are you saying?
Yes, they were caught
Both were killed
Killed?
I have just heard this at the Manor
The Raja killed them both
No
Say, what a beauty you have brought!
Chanda Bai, I had loved this beauty very dearly
but some bastard has enjoyed her, and I don't fancy second hand goods
Who was the dog who defied you, My Lord?
That Bloody, Shankar, my slave
I finished him by cutting off his head
But why did you spare this one, My Lord?
I could have done the same with her had I wanted to
but death would have set her free
I want her to die by inches
I want her to beg to be killed
I want her to be ravished by filthiest, ugliest and lowliest of all
I want that they should pick her bones clean
Father! Father!
Come soon
No son, don't get up
Your wound is fresh
If you get up, the stitches in your throat will come apart
Keep lying down
Son, your limbs are broken
When I brought you here, you were barely alive
Son, you are a mute, aren't you?
Most of the nerves in your throat were severed
Curing you, I discovered a nerve that had been depressed
Because of this you lost your speech
I have freed that nerve
It is possible you will be able to speak now
You are not a born mute
You must have had an accident
What happened, son?
Father!
Father, I have brought the food
Hariya, O Hariya! Your son Shankar has come to fetch you
Coming! Kadamji, Kadamji
Look what I have found in the coal, it is shining. Look!
What? Diamonds!
Diamonds! Glory be! Diamonds in a coal mine?
I have become a big man, a very big man
Wife, look, I found these diamonds in the coal mine
Diamonds!
When the master returns from town
I will show him the place and these diamonds
He will give me a big reward
We will not be poor anymore
Really?
We will give our Shankar good education and make him a big man
No!
Mother!
Father!
Mother!
I will tell everyone that you killed my parents
You are a murderer
Let me go!
What happened then, son?
Inspector Saheb, who is the vile animal who killed Hariya and his wife?
Speak up, who committed this crime?
But I am the Manager, I look after the welfare of these men
Who could have placed a burning coal
inside this innocent child's throat and made him dumb?
He'll never be able to talk in his life
But he is not blind
He will recognize the criminal
I will not spare him
Shankar, tell us, who out of these is your parents' killer
Go, take a look
Did these two kill your parents?
Officer, arrest these two
We better get going!
Did you finish the killers?
Yes, I did
They were dangerous wanted men
They fired on us and were killed in an encounter
Well done, Inspector
Did you see, Shankar, the law has avenged your parents' murder
From now onwards, I will look after you
I am your guardian from today
Gauri!
Ahh... gorgeous! What a beauty!
Chanda Bai, you have been hiding a real jewel all this time
My Lord, everything here is yours just for the asking
Chanda Bai, I'm willing to pay your price
I would gladly give my all for a chance to touch her
Watch it! Don't anyone try to touch her!
What did you say?
Yes, when I came here there was no one to save me
But I am here to save her
She is the true love of someone; for whom I hold her in trust
and I am in his debt
If anyone tries to touch her, it will be over my dead body
Come on, Gauri
Gauri, you have no idea what kind of animals' hands you have fallen into
Raja has ruined both our lives
And he has killed your Shankar
No, no. I just heard him call me
No, Bindiya. I have heard his voice
He is alive
Mutes don't have voices to call out
I know, truth is bitter But in life you have to face reality
No. I will never believe it, never.
My Shankar cannot be dead
God is not so cruel
He is alive
Raja!
So, these are the foreign partners of our diamond business
They are first and foremost my childhood friends
Welcome, welcome
Cheers!
All old friends have met today
All should enjoy Gopal brand chewing tobacco
Raja Saheb, let us have a glimpse of the diamonds
Yes, in a moment
Here you are
Is that all? Only these diamonds?
I will bring them out gradually, or the law will get wise to us
Like we did the last time
Like we did during Hariya's death
Raja Saheb, how clever you are!
After killing Hariya, with the help of police
you had us both declared dead
and sent us abroad and started the diamond business yourself
As for the law, you two are absolutely safe
What do you mean?
Because dead men are not arrested, and you are 100% dead!
Forgive me, Raja Saheb
But it appears that like your hair, your life has become gray too
Raja Saheb, things are so dull and drab today
Don't worry, I will find such a wonderful remedy to all this
that your heart will start singing
Raja Saheb, the songbird will not grace your party today
Why?
Because Gauri cannot come here
Gauri?
But why?
Because that witch Bindiya is protecting her
What? Did you hear that, Birjwa?
Where did Bindiya find the courage to do this?
Bindiya threatens to scratch out the eyes of
anyone who dares to look at Gauri
Is Gauri alive, Raja Saheb?
She is dead as far as we are concerned
But I have spared her life so that she can die a horrible death
No
No, don't be so cruel to Bindiya!
Don't, don't inflict this torture
For God's sake, let her go
Let her go
I say, stop it
No, don't do it!
No
No!
You just stay where you are!
Why are you acting as her shield, silly?
She is a shattered vessel
Shattered and scattered
Don't try to protect her ravished youth
Save a thought for your own beauty
No
Hey, look. Here is a young bud from the Vale of Kashmir
Look, look, have your fill
There is no charge for looking
Hey, how come this blemish in our rose?
What great beauty! What hair!
Gauri!
What is this I hear?
Did you speak? Dumb?
Has come back alive and with a tongue as well
But what is the use?
You have cheated death to confront it once again
What do you know about death's designs, Birjwa?
Are you trying to scare me who has befriended Death?
Not trying to scare you, but to show you the shadow of death
Which is over your body like a shroud
Take a look!
You may take a hundred backward steps
but you cannot back out of Death's grasp today
Help
Shut up
Let me go
Hand over this girl to me, I have purchased her
But I have just sold every breath of yours to Death
What! Who are you?
Try to recall
For a few diamonds you and your men
killed my mother and father Hariya
What! Shankar?
Yes, Shankar. The seed of enmity that you sowed 20 years ago
stands before you today a full grown thorny tree
Thorny Tree!
I will destroy that tree
No, you will not die so quickly
First tell me the name of the 3rd man
who put the burning coal in my mouth
Shankar
Tell me, who is that third man, tell me
Speak
That third man was Raja Saheb
No, Shankar, no. Don't kill me
No, Shankar, no
Shankar, no
And that is how I got back my voice
Why are you staring at me?
I feel like listening to you forever
Will you only listen?
Won't you tell me anything about yourself?
Now that I have found you, all my wounds are healed
I have forgotten everything
Come, Shankar, let us go far away from here
To a world where there'd be just the two of us
Leave behind those, who snatched my own self from me?
They torched my childhood
Tortured my love
Who's there?
Who is it?
What do I see?
Get up, son. Get up, son.
Oh, father, go to sleep
There's a ghost dancing at the window, and you ask me to sleep?
Where is it?
There, there, look there, there
Where?
Where is the ghost? Are you trying to frighten your child?
Your horrendous snores will drive any ghost away
What is it ... sh... doing?
Father, father, I think it is Shankar's ghost
You run out of the window, I'll exit through the door
But he is standing in the window
Come, we will both run out of the door
It's a ghost, a phantom, a spirit
Forgive us, oh Spirit!
I beg pardon for my mistakes, Mr. Ghost
I am not a ghost
Father, he is talking
But Shankar was dumb
This is a ghost, move away
Look, Junior. Look at me. Touch me
Don't touch. You'll become ashes.
Father, this is Shankar
Father, this is our Shankar
Shankar, you are alive. Shankar!
Shankar, you are alive!
How did this happen, Shankar?
The Raja had killed you
I have so many accounts to balance,
that even death refused to take me
Shankar, my heart too is heavy with the load of sin
I will join you and relieve myself of that load
I am with you, Shankar
Well done, Father
Today for the first time I feel like hugging you
Who is he, who stabbed me in my back?
Pushed my brother into the furnace in broad daylight?
You are the retired D.I.G. but you could not find out who it was
What can I do, Raja Saheb
No one claims to know anything
You talk as if he was an alien!
A plague descended from the skies!
Raja Saheb, who is this?
Ranbir!
There is an arrow protruding from this throat
Take it out, looks like a message from the enemy
I am the one you seek
I am responsible for Birjwa's death
and it is me who has sent you this body
But what a shame it is, that
you cannot take any legal action
because in the eyes of the law, this man died 20 years ago
Wonder whose voice this is? It's the voice of your death
and this voice will not let you live now
Every minute, every moment
it will remind you and your companions of their approaching death
because I am that glowing ember of revenge
The flames of which have engulfed your lives
And in these flames you will all turn into ashes one by one
After Ranbir it will be Dilawar, then the D.I.G.,...
and then Raja
He has not mentioned me, Raja Saheb
When you are all gone, what will I do all by myself, Raja Saheb?
Who... who can this enemy be?
Hello
Dilawar, your life is in danger
Danger, what danger,Raja Saheb?
There is a burning ember behind you
Ember? What ember?
That which burns which turns things to ashes
Oh, Raja Saheb, I don't understand
Ranbir is stretched out in front of me
Lying in front of you?
He is dead
Dead! Who killed him?
The ember!
Yes, come fast to the Manor, Bloody Fool
Help!
You!
He will take my life
Who will take your life?
Ember Ember!
Yes, the same who reduced your friend Ranbir to ashes
What?
Come on, come on, quick
Not right, go left
But the Raja's Manor is this side
That is where he is coming from
Go left, left
Stop. Stop. Stop here
Where have you brought me?
This is the coal mine
Did I say I would take you to a diamond mine?
But why have you brought me here?
Someone wants a private meeting with you
Meet me? Who?
Shankar!
Shankar? Shankar who?
Hariya's son, in whose mouth you had placed a burning ember
Shankar
What!
Where are the keys? Hand me the keys!
Let go of me, let go
I say, let me go
Let me go!
Who is hanging?
Father, who is this hanging?
Not hanging, son, he is swinging
He is enjoying himself
Dilawar!
The very man
This is Dilawar, who killed Hariya 20 years ago,
and this D.I.G. pretended to shoot him
and this managed to cover up for him
Guards, find out who is this speaking
Brothers, the real culprit behind the murders of Hariya and his wife
is Raja Saheb
He is talking nonsense
To get hold of the diamonds found in the coal mine
this bastard snuffed out two lives
He is talking nonsense, brothers, all lies!
He is a wolf in a man's skin
An animal who spills the blood of poor workers
Who the hell are you? Why don't you show yourself?
Shankar!
I am an eye witness of your crime
My parents were killed on your orders
and when I was going to appear as a witness to that crime
... you put a burning ember in my mouth
and took away my voice
When my eyes recognized the killers
you and the D.I.G. hatched a plan about their false death
and fooled me and everyone else here
For 20 years, a voiceless orphan
a helpless slave served you like a faithful dog
I worshipped the devil, taking you to be God
But time has removed the scales from my eyes
You have wronged me
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Brothers, the biggest wrongdoer is he himself
Being my servant, he eloped with my wife
and has concocted this story to avoid punishment
It is not he, but the Raja who is concocting a story
I was never his wife
His marriage to me was a fraud
Speak up!
Yes, yes it is true that out of greed for money
we got Gauri's consent by showing her Shankar's photograph
Speak up, Raja. Is this true or not?
What can he tell you
I will tell you
He not only deceived Gauri
but is responsible for all the rapes and killings in the village
He has been caught today
Medicine man!
Sorry, mate, father has shifted loyalties
Listen, you Raja
So far Father has been feeding you pills
now he will feed you embers
Thrash the bastard
Beat him!
Bloody Fool!
Shankar!
Bloody Fool
No Shankar
No Shankar, no
The oil will catch fire
There is coal all around
It will catch fire
I have brought you up, boy
For making me a slave
I gave you life
To save yourself from death
Look, one is cremated only after death
You cannot burn me alive
You started this tale by putting a burning ember in my mouth
Today this burning ember will end that story by lighting your own pyre
No, Shankar
No, I beg of you
No, no!
