Mangal's blood is no lemonade...
for all toms, dicks and harrys to quench their thirst.
Listen, sweetheart.
Ask the doctor to keep bandages ready.
Her lover is going to take on Mangal today.
" Neither are you immortal..."
" nor will I live forever"
"So why should we incur enemity"
" Hatred offers nothing"
"Come, let's embrace"
Have the skies swallowed him?!
You still haven't found Mangal Singh! - We are trying our best, sir.
Merely trying is not enough.
If we could declare a reward in the newspapers...
we would probably get some information on him.
No! - Father!
Have you written this article against my coal mines?
It's quite obvious that I have written it.
Or else, would the publisher give me a byline?
So you want the government to nationalise the coal mines?!
Not only me,...
every literate man believes that such national resources...
must belong to not just one man, but to the whole country.
You are being stupid! I have bought these mines, you know!
And perhaps the workers working in the mines too?
Take a look at the mines which are being run by the government!
Workers have proper houses, there are schools for children...
and playgrounds for recreation! They are provided with everything.
And your workers... what is their lot?
They live and die like insects.
You are my friend's daughter. So... Don't you write such things again.
Oh no! I' ll write it a hundred times!
Mills and mines belonging to people like you...
ought to be nationalised!
If you' re so loyal to the Government...
...there's no need to stay here.
Arrange your stay in a government guest house.
But listen carefully.
Just as you are asking me to get out...
the people of this country will one day...
throw you out of these coal mines!
And they' ll ask you to get out!
You've done the right thing. You've made me happy today!
No matter how I appear to be... I' m a patriot at heart.
That old man spoke a lot of nonsense! I got angry, too...
and I gave it to him!
But he has thrown me out.
I must return now...
or else, where will I stay?
That's not a problem. You can stay with me.
But the problem is... I stay all alone.
That's all right. I've known you for years.
You are a very decent man.
It's another thing if I provoke you!
Left to you, I have no hopes.
But there's a problem.
If Dhanraj Puri gets to know that l' m staying with you...
your job will be in danger
You can any day quit a job... but not slavery.
I' m working for Dhanraj, all right. But it's you l' m a slave to.
So why worry? We' ll deal with it!
I had told you not to do this!
Ever since I have known you...
... you've never behaved more intelligently!
" Your arms are full of mischief"
" In your breath lingers a fragrance so sweet"
" Let's get lost in this mischief and fragrance"
" You are the one I have sought in loneliness and in my dreams"
" You are the one whose touch ignites the passions in my heart"
" A few dreams of mine; a few of yours..."
"come together, rekindle the heart and bring a song to the lips"
"Come, spread your tresses on my face..."
" Let the passions of my body find some shade"
" I've always known that I belong to you"
" You are with me and l' m with you..."
" Like souls and bodies... in an eternal relationship"
Would you like to buy some red bangles?
Your hands are very fair. Red bangles will look nice on you.
No. I've bought enough.
I bought so much, since you asked me to. Or I don't wear bangles.
You must buy something too, Vijay.
How about the ring? Look at the miracles once you wear it.
A few more like you... and I wind up my business!
Good-bye, madam.
She sells so many things. Bangles, rings, cosmetics...
She doesn't sell rings. She sells dreams.
Dreams? - Yes, dreams.
There's no ray of hope for those living in this colony.
Their life is like a dark tunnel in which they live.
That's the reason why they buy rings from Channo...
expecting their problems to vanish, their debts be forgiven.
She sells so much for just one rupee
Why haven't you bought a ring from her?
Don't you like to dream?
I don't like false dreams.
All dreams aren't false.
I' m an ordinary worker, Sudha. I work in a mine.
You' re educated. And you' re a nice man.
The next time I meet Channo, I will buy a ring.
How are you? - I am fine
Have you brought my stuff?
How can I ever forget? I've got to live here!
Give her the stuff!
Tell me, are you going to spend your whole life like this?
Find a nice guy and settle down.
Is it possible to buy a shop for Rs.5000?
Sure, it's possible. Buy a shop for Rs.5000...
... and the coal mines for Rs 50 million.
If you must day-dream, you must dream big.
Where is my tea? Bring it fast!
When are you driving back? - In the evening
Would you like to go somewhere? - Yes, to the police station.
You' re not reporting someone, are you?
No. The lnspector's wife wished to buy some bangles.
That's okay. It's only a mile away. I' ll walk it there.
Take care of my things, uncle. I' m leaving.
Don't forget to attend Raghunath's daughter's wedding!
They' re after me! Please save me.
Don't worry. Wait here.
I' ll save this girl from you.
But who's going to save you from me?
Oh shut up! Don't block my way!
You've said what you wanted to. But you' ll have to pay for this.
Why are you running away?! Cowards! Come back!
Now what are you crying for?
If you' re sad they've left, shall I call them back?
Stop crying like a girl!
Where were you going all alone, in such a huge forest?
" My groom has come from far away to take me with him"
" He's young and handsome, he has won over my heart"
" His attire is colourful"
" My heart goes out to him"
" As soon as he stepped in my courtyard..."
"...my heart leapt with joy"
" I will no longer stay with my parents..."
" I must go away, mother"
" You've stolen my heart, so sweetly have you spoken"
" I lay wounded... your piercing look has done that"
" I see your face even while I look at the mirror"
" I don't like separations; but I must go, mother"
" I've given my heart to you..."
" Everything I possessed is now yours"
" You have dealt me a blow... you have"
" You live in every breath of mine"
" It's you in all my dreams"
" My love has taken my hand in his..."
Out of our way!
Are you blind? Can't you see this huge car?
I can't see this car, sir. But you see nothing at all.
The sorrow of the workers, their problems...
their illness and death...
you see nothing. You are the blind one.
Rubbish! What is your name?
My name is Vijay. - I have heard about you.
What do you want?
I want to tell you that death which commonly occurs in your mines...
...occurred once again yesterday.
Five workers were crushed to death under stones in the tunnel.
I know everything. I also know what I must do.
Do you think I am not worried?
Why would you be worried, sir?
Five workers are dead. And they are dispensable.
there is so much you poverty here they' ll be replaced by 25 men.
Your work will continue; your coffers will overflow.
Why would you worry?
...those small children who have been orphaned by your greed.
Do you know how inadequate the security arrangements are...
for people working in your mines?
This mine of yours is like a python...
..which swallows many people every day...
...extracting every bit of their blood and flesh...
... and throws them out as corpses!
As long as you keep neglecting their safety for your greed...
... women here will continue to be widowed...
children will be orphaned.
That which happened yesterday... will happen again, sir.
And again. And again. And again.
May be. Accidents are commonplace in coal-mines.
Besides, l' m not forcing anyone to work here.
Those who want to work, can continue. Those who don't, can leave.
But I don't take any responsibility to say...
such an incident will never occur again.
But I take responsibility for something.
if even a single worker dies in your mines...
due to your neglect or your greed...
I, Vijaypal Singh, will not spare you!
Dhanraj Puri! I will not spare you!
What you did was right.
They can only understand your language.
True. They understand this language.
That is because they know nothing about me.
Had they known, they'd have questioned my stand.
Only those who have never sinned can raise a voice against sinners.
Can you give me a right today?
The right to ask you...
which shadow is this that has overcast your life?
What burden is this...
that you carry on your heart?
I' m your friend, Vijay
All the doors of my past are open to you.
But yet there's a corner in my heart...
... where I myself don't enter.
Years ago, there was a storm in my life.
I've locked the storm in my heart.
I feel scared to tamper with those feelings...
Iest the storm is released again.
Go ahead and speak. Nothing will happen.
You would rather purge your soul of the poisonous memories.
You must have heard of the name of Colonel Harpal Singh
He has received many medals for bravery during the war...
... including the Paramveer Chakra. I' m his only son.
After passing the exams of the Merchant Navy...
... I joined a shipping corporation.
After some years, I was appointed...
... Captain of the ship, named Harshvardan.
And one night...
This ship cannot be saved! It just can't be saved!
If you want to save your lives... C' mon! Let's get out of here!
Wait, I say... Wait!
Our ship!
It's my fate to suffer such humiliation at this age!
You are my son. And yet, you behaved like a coward!
Didn't you even think of your family name?
Your father is an army officer.
Your Grandfather too was an army officer.
I have always taught you lessons in duty!
And how could you do this?! You have disgraced me for life!
You may talk to your mother now. I've nothing to do with you.
Do me a favour. Don't show me your face ever again!
Your reports and statements are before the court...
in the charges brought against you.
Before we announce a verdict, would you like to say anything?
No Sir.
The court holds you guilty and dismisses you from service
All your certificates are hereby cancelled.
You are not allowed to join any shipping company in future.
Please don't go this way, there's another door
Those 300 passengers and their friends are standing at the gate.
If you go this way,... you know what I mean?
No, this is the way I must go.
He is a coward! A bloody coward!
And I left that city...
I thought I'd run away from those voices.
I travelled from one station to another.
One city to another.
But those voices did not leave me alone!
They had became a part of my soul.
I couldn't figure out what to do?
I didn't know where I'd find peace of mind!
And I travelled like a madman...
spending one traumatic day after another.
I don't even remember clearly.
Should a man even fall from the Himalayas, he can get up again.
But if he falls in his own esteem, he continues to fall...
That's what happened to me.
And one day, I found myself in the depth of these mines.
Everything is fine now.
If this is life, then here I am.
I thrust myself in those mines at dawn...
and go to bed, tired and worn out, every evening.
But I've never slept so soundly... as to not hear those voices.
How much of it has been drilled?
What are these people doing?
These peoples are drilling the mines. 50 feet on each side.
To find out whether we can work any further.
After that, we' ll pull the wire.
If we come across wet mud on the wire...
we understand there's water ahead and that we must stop our work.
We' re at fifty feet, sir!
Stop working in this tunnel. There's water behind this.
If l' m not mistaken,...
there's millions of gallons of water in there.
Who has given you the power to stop the work?
You' re just an engineer and not the owner of this mine!
Your duty is only to report to me. And I will take the decisions!
I've already been sending my reports.
But you never had the time to read them.
I' m sending a copy of this report to the government.
I' m also going to publish it in the newspapers...
... so that people get to know how you exploit your workers!
Are you threatening me? - I am only warning you.
You don't know. I have never tolerated ingrates in my lifetime.
You forget. You are my servant! I can throw you out anytime!
And you forget. You would've thrown me out long ago, if you could.
You know every worker will walk out if I were to leave!
Your mines would be shut down!
So you'd better listen to what I have to say.
There shall be no more work in tunnel no. 4!
Sir! What nonsense is he talking? Has he gone mad?
A mad dog ought to be shot, Saxena.
I get it, sir. I will arrange for it.
Get work to begin everywhere he has suspended it.
And I'd like to meet Vijay - You, sir?
Because iron cuts iron. Vijay should be here tomorrow.
You must be surprised that I've called you here.
I won't lie to you...
I was hurt at what you told me the other day.
But then I realised that every word of what you said was right.
What's the matter?
There's something wrong today. - Why? What happened?
I woke rather late this morning.
I couldn't make sure which side the sun had risen from.
That's where you' re mistaken!
You will think that I don't have any sympathy for the workers.
In fact, it's the middleman who, for his own benefit, creates...
... misunderstandings between me and workers.
Why don't you do away with such middlemen?
That's exactly why I have called you here.
I want to entrust this responsibility to you.
I wish to appoint you as the Welfare Officer
And provide you a bungalow, car, and other facilities...
... and a salary you ask for, 5000, 10000... no problem!
So what's the problem?
The middlemen are the only problem. This chap Ravi Malhotra, for example.
On one hand, he's trying to fool the workers...
... and on the other hand, he's trying to blackmail me.
We ought to be rid of people like him.
Do you get my point? - Yes, I get it.
If I get rid of Ravi Malhotra...
...you will appoint me as a Welfare Officer.
Yes, you could put it that way.
I even understand that if I become the welfare officer...
I' ll get a bungalow, a car, other perks...
...the salary I wish, 5000-10000.
Right? - Right on!
I haven't made your drink!
You've explained everything, sir. Except one factor.
How will I eliminate Ravi Malhotra?
Must I tell you that too?
You are young and brave! And hot-blooded too.
If you make up your mind, there's no problem.
Didn't you tell me the other day...
that there are mishaps in the mines every other day?
And don't worry. I' ll help you out, if there's a problem later.
I' m ready to spend any amount of money on you.
Here you are.
I believe you, sir.
You can shed human blood like water...
you are capable of anything.
You still don't know me!
Not true, sir. I have got to know you today.
I admit, I didn't know you till today.
All that I gathered about you was wrong.
I thought you were a conceited and wicked man.
But you can't be that, even if you want to.
Because you are not human at all, you are an animal.
A wild beast who drinks the blood of these workers...
and feasts on their flesh!
I don't hate you at this moment. I find you repulsive!
Shame on you, Dhanraj Puri. Shame on you!
Hello Sir!
I've agreed to pay him 5000 for this work, sir.
Saxena must have told you what you've got to do?
You need not worry, sir. The engineer won't live anymore.
Your work will be done.
Sir, work stopped by you in tunnel No.4 has begun again.
With whose permission? - Mr. Saxena was here, sir.
All right. Go ahead. I' ll look into it.
Here comes our engineer.
Look at this, sir.
What is it? - I don't know. Take a look, sir.
So, Engineer,... do I feed you some peanuts now?
Can't you see? Coal in your eyes, eh?
You have made us and the boss your enemies!
That was a mistake you made!
So many of you against just one?!
How am I to blame if you' re all alone?
There were those you fought for! So call them now!
Please sit here, sir.
You' re gonna die today!
You won't escape... you' re gonna die today!
What' re you doing here? Go and dig there.
Give me a shovel. - A shovel?
Take that one lying near that box.
Switch off the machine!
Carry him!
Take him to the hospital! Quick!
Mangal is still unconscious.
He has lost a lot of blood. He needs blood.
Who among you is willing to donate blood for him?
What are you thinking about? - Nothing.
I have recovered now.
I' ll be discharged in a day or two.
May I say something? Once you' re discharged...
you must forget your enemity.
Had he not carried you and brought you here,...
had he not given his blood to you,...
there were very little chances of your survival.
Whom are you talking about? Who was it?
Did you call on Mangal? - Yes, I did.
He's fine now. He was asking for you.
You are under arrest.
You ought to have either arrested me much earlier...
or atleast a few days later. Well, that's all right.
Let's go.
You crib about something every day!
There is no danger for the workers!
I can't stop work just because you say so!
The workers lives are in danger!
I can't shut my eyes because you ask me to!
So quit the job! - I certainly will...
but only after I've saved every worker from your death-trap!
Get the lift going!
Stop working!
And get out! Go on!
Go away! Stop work!
My son...?
How many people have been working in there?
We can ascertain that from the manager's register.
Let's go to the manager!
what are you guys doing?
Wait... calm down... Don't create a confusion!
What's the matter? - Water has flooded the mines.
Three are many workers trapped in there!
It means millions of tons of coal will be wasted!
If asked, tell the reporters there were no more than 30 or 40 workers...
in the mines, okay? - Not done, Dhanraj Puri.
Stop him, Saxena! - How dare you come here!
Anybody there...?
Nobody can save you from me today, you swine!
Remember what I had said?
If even a single worker dies... I won't spare you!
Do you remember?
And 400 workers will fall prey to your greed today.
And you will die at my hands!
I' ll do my best to save each and every worker!
Don't use your dirty tongue to call them workers...
because workers for you are mere machines that extract coal!
And those workers now trapped in the mines...
...they are not mere machines, they are human beings!
They are someone's sons, brothers, husbands...
Call their names with respect!
Call them by their names...
Purshottam Lal, say it!
Ram Singh... say it!
Murli..
Rehmat Ali...
Manohar...
These and many more of them are in the jaws of death today...
because of you, Dhanraj!
I will go into those mines to save them.
And you will accompany me!
No, I won't come with you!
Leave me alone, please! Please forgive me!
Why? Do you love this wretched life so much?
Bloody coward! I feel like killing you this instant!
But the laws and judiciary of this country await you!
I' m eagerly looking forward to the day,...
...when scoundrels like you are thrown in the cells!
What happened? What's the matter?
An accident has taken place in the mines.
There are many people trapped in there. God save them!
Stop! Stop, I say!
I' m going in those mines to help those workers!
Are you crazy?
No one knows of the level of the water inside.
Do you want to die?
I want to live. But not the life of a coward.
Wait, Vijay,...!
You won't go alone. I will accompany you, too!
No workers have yet reached the lift.
It looks as if they' re all trapped in the tunnel!
You go that way, l' ll go this way.
I might not get this opportunity again...
but I want to tell you something.
I've never considered anyone worthy of praise, except for my own self.
But hats off to you, my friend!
Water seems to be flowing at a great speed. Let's go.
Wait... can you hear that?
Water seems to have already flown in there.
We can't take this route and make it to the lift.
We' ll have to take another route. - There's no other route.
We can reach the lift by taking the second left-wing tunnel!
If we do that, none of us will survive.
That tunnel is at a lower level!
Water will first flood that tunnel!
The tunnel is at a lower level, all right.
But it's quite far from the direction in which the water is coming!
So the water will get there late.
We' ll cross the tunnel before the water begins to fill in.
The route you' re taking... - I will take this route!
You' re talking nonsense! Water has flooded the mines...
and you want to take us deeper into the mines!
Just keep your mouth shut! I' m the Engineer!
I know which tunnel will fill first and which is more dangerous!
So take the route you wish! Go ahead!
We don't want to die! You might be an engineer...
but don't teach us! We've spent a lifetime in these mines!
Those of you who want to go with him, can go ahead.
And those who want to go straight to the lift,...
... come with me.
Wait! You' re making a mistake! Don't take that route!
Who's asking you to come along?
C' mon, guys!
Wait... Wait, I say!
We' ll leave with you, sir!
Why has everybody gathered here?!
Is this an accident or are we having fun here?
Tell everyone to go home!
Let's run away, sir... or we' ll get lynched!
He's the one! The murderer! Beat him up!
Inspector! Save me from this mob!
Leave me alone... Take her away!
He has tortured us, sir... He has tormented us no end!
Let's go! Hurry up!
Hang him, sir... hang him!
Stop! This way is blocked!
We' ll have to go from another tunnel; let's return.
We' re trapped from all sides! We can't go out, Vijay!
How many of them are trapped inside?
I don't know. Vijay and Mangal have gone in there, too.
God save them!
Get me out of here! I don't want to die!
Shut up!
There's water behind this wall.
I' m going to break this wall; fetch me a shovel!
No, Vijay, we all will get drowned!
For sometime we' ll be in the water, all right.
But this is the only way out.
The water will make a way for itself.
So get a firm grip and get me the shovel.
I' ll make way for the water first...
and the waters will then make way for us.
So hold one another firmly!
Help! Help!
Here, my boy... come here.
I can't swim! What am I going to do?!
Wait till I get there. Hang on!
Come down now... hold my hand.
No, I can't swim, l' ll drown!
Go on, son, climb up...
See? You' re saved. Now run along.
How about you? - Worry about yourself. Go on.
Wait... calm down!
Not more than four, or else the lift will break!
The lift has broken!
What happens now? Who' ll save us?
Get aside!
Reverse the truck!
Make a queue... Wait!
Only four of you, or else the lift will break again!
My leg is trapped under the rock! It's very heavy.
The water level is rising, there's very little time!
I won't be able to get out! So go away!
Leaving you here...? No, sir..
Don't talk nonsense! Go away! - No, we won't leave you, sir.
If you go out...
you' ll perhaps bring some help for me.
Now leave! There's no point in waiting here! Go on!
You remember, boss, what I had once asked?
" Aren't you afraid you might get trapped in the mines?"
And remember what I had said?
There's no place in the world from where Mangal can't escape!
don't worry, son...
I' ll save you first and then save myself. Come on!
Careful, everyone! Watch out everyone!
That wall is about to collapse! Look there!
Come here and help him, Rajesh!
I' ll stop the wall from breaking. So run away everybody!
Go away!
But boss you... - Don't worry about me! Run away!
There are five of us. And only four can go in the lift.
One of us will have to get down.
You know me, my friend. I have three small kids.
Not me, please... Please forgive me.
Never mind. We' ll decide it in a minute.
I' ll distribute a card to each one of us.
The one who has the smallest card will get down.
All right! Perfectly okay!
Here you are... and you.
A King... An Ace... A Queen...
And what do you have?
A Three! - Looks like You must wait here.
No! He has cheated me.
He's bound to have a bigger card!
He has deliberately given me a small card!
Murli, my friend, Three is not the smallest of cards.
Two is. Look at this.
Good bye, friends.
Didn't you say, Murli, that you'd win some day?
So you win today.
No, my friend,... you have won even today!
You' re still here?! Leave immediately!
I've come to take you! - Saving me is impossible!
My leg is trapped under the stone. Go on. Save your life!
I saved my life once, sir... I now want to redeem my soul.
Try to pull your leg out!
It's useless trying! Just go away.
It is too heavy; you won't be able to lift it.
I've carried a heavier burden on my heart, sir.
How won't I carry this one?
Try and pull your leg out.
My friend is in trouble, my Lord.
O Almighty... save their lives. This is my prayer, Lord.
Blessed is the one...
who sings glories of the Lord!
Where's Mangal? - I haven't seen him.
Have you seen Mangal?
Yes, he has sacrificed his life to save the others.
No... this cannot be!
Look who's here.
How did you know l' m here?
Sudha sent us a telegram.
Come here, dear.
Thank God, you are safe!
