Traitor
Wish you all the best. - Thank you.
Mr. Bipinlal?
Yes. I've come to take you.
How's mom? How's Sarla? - Fine.
Your mom stays in Banaras with her brother.
And Sarla's at her husband's house.
Sarla's daughter must've grown up.
How old is she now?
About eight years old. - Eight years!
Yes, it's been a long time.
Your mom and Sarla are coming to meet you today.
Let's go. - Yes.
Manisha, what are you doing here?
Yes.
You didn't let anyone visit you inside the jail.
So, I waited outside.
Really? So, you waited for me all these days?
Yes, Vicky.
Moreover, on his deathbed, uncle..
You haven't changed, Manisha.
You haven't changed either, Vicky.
Not a single grey hair.
Calm and serious.
You look like a philosophy professor.
What are you saying? A murderer..
That's enough! Come.
Come, Mr. Bipinlal.
Who's he? He comes here every day.
He's a very wealthy boy.
His father owns a huge factory in Bombay.
Yes. - He's a millionaire.
What is he doing in our slum, if he's a millionaire?
Somu, Mr. Chaudhary's son. - Yes.
He's his best friend.
After Mr. Chaudhary's death, he pays for all the house expenses.
That's what you call a friend!
Not a friend. Somu must be his stooge.
No, they're best friends.
They work together after completing law.
They eat, go out and have fun together.
They've fun too?
Mom, isn't Somu ready yet? - He's getting ready.
He'll be here. Will you have tea?
I will if you could serve it quickly. - Right away.
Hey Somu!
Hey.
Why didn't you go to college? - First give me my fees.
Where are my sweets?
Sarla, give him a box full.
No, mom, I'm going to work now.
How'll I work if you give me box full of sweets?
I'll lose my job.
Just give me a few for now.
What? - Yes.
Go and get it. - Okay.
Give it. - Here.
So, how's work?
It's going good. There's a little more to learn
then we both will start our own business.
Really? - Yes.
But if you start your own firm, how'll you find lawsuits?
We're not just any lawyers.
The lawsuits will come looking for us.
Yes! - And if you don't get lawsuits, Somu and you
can file lawsuits against each other.
That's fantastic! Fantastic!
She isn't as stupid as I thought.
She's much more than that.
You've both worn similar clothes!
How would I know this fool would wear the same clothes?
And look, twin watches.
Yes! One for that fool, and one for me. Here.
Vicky.. - First change your clothes
or you'll look like morons before the barrister. Go!
The police states that the corpse
may have decayed in the room for 96 hours.
That's for sure.
Do we have a proof that the body belonged to dacoit Ram Singh?
Instead, one thing shows that it was someone else's corpse.
That thing is the watch on the corpse's hand.
It was working when the police found the body.
No watch can work without charging for 96 hours.
Brilliant, sir.
Yes, beautiful.
Have you made a list of properties?
Yes. - Show it to me.
It was somewhere here..
Give it to me.
I said, give it to me!
Please leave my office immediately.
I said get out.
Okay.
Pen.
Useless fellow.
Somu. - Yes, sir.
I'll be back in a minute. Jot down whatever I've told you.
Sridhar.
Somu. - Yes?
I've to go someplace.
Prepare the property lists by tomorrow.
Definitely, sir. - Thank you very much.
So can I leave? - Okay.
Teresa, take this file and type it.
Goodbye. - Bye.
Goodbye, Ms. Teresa. - Bye.
Brilliant boy.
He'll be a renowned barrister someday.
Excuse me, sir. Barrister or an artist?
What do you mean?
I was stunned! - Why?
That fellow fired me but you didn't follow me.
As it's a barrister's office. So I wanted to quit legally.
First, I applied for a resignation.
Vicky, that man's future is doomed. - Why so?
We share the relationship of a criminal and a witness.
They can never be separated.
The lawyer who doesn't know it can't fight a case.
Mate, I guess, only you can double Ghalib.
Really? Greetings. - Greetings.
Let us celebrate our freedom. - Yes!
Today, we're not working for anyone. - Correct.
Cheers.
Vicky. - Yes?
That blue one is mine.
No, you take the yellow one.
She's more beautiful. I'll take the blue one.
No! I'm fine with the blue one.
No! What kind of a man are you? Can't you sacrifice for me?
Vicky, you can have both. - '..without you..'
Right.
'Your lover is lonely'
'without you, beloved.'
'Your lover is lonely without you, beloved.'
'I've gone crazy, oh Lord.'
'I go crazy without you.'
'Your lover is lonely without you, beloved.'
'How do people live like this?'
'I'm suffering after separating from you.'
'How do people like this..'
'How do people..'
'How do people live like this?'
'I'm suffering after separating from you.'
'I can't pass the night in loneliness.'
'I can't spend..'
'I can't spend it without you, beloved.'
'Your lover is lonely without you, beloved.'
Wonderful! - Very good.
Come on, hurry up.
That was amazing! Here is a reward.
Ma'am, look what I found.
Ma'am, let's have a 'qawali'.
Not a 'qawali', but a 'ghazal'.
Yes. Another 'ghazal'.
Yes, ma'am. Let's have another song.
Yes. It'll surely be presented.
But after you leave.
What are you saying, sir?
Every guest in this gathering can demand a song.
Sir, we are not very good at Urdu.
Let me put this straight. You better leave or else..
Oh my God! - Oh my God!
Stand up. Come on!
Please be seated, Nawab!
I asked you to stand up. Come on!
I asked you to sit!
We'll hear this last song alone. - Yes.
Stand up! Come on!
Don't do sit-ups. I told you to sit down.
He won't leave!
We'll throw him out!
Forget it. - What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Sir, please sit down. Get out, you oaf!
What are you doing, ma'am? - You scoundrels.
Jhumroo!
What are you doing? Don't be insolent.
Come out. I'll teach you a lesson, fool.
Get lost. I've seen many loafers like you.
He acts smart.
'When the ring tinkles, it's delightful!'
'When the ring tinkles..' - Quiet.
Srinath. - Yes?
Take off the shoes.
Vicky! M-May I leave?
Okay. - Okay.
How will you go?
Why? In a taxi.
No.
I'll not let you travel in a taxi.
What else should I do? Walk?
Why? I'm still alive!
I'll drop you. - No, never!
I know after once you drop me
you'll drive back at the speed of 80 kilometers
and I'll keep worrying if you've reached home.
I don't even have a telephone.
Don't you have a telephone? - Where is it?
Just a minute.
One minute.
Vicky.
Just a minute. - Vicky, what are you doing?
Let's get this telephone fixed at your house.
Vicky, put the telephone back.
Go to sleep. - Okay.
You must go to sleep too. - Yes, sure.
Alright. I'll sleep.
Mom will worry all night. Let her worry.
She's a mother. - What?
That's really bad.
Will mom get worried? - Yes.
I'll do this. I'll go inform her and come back.
Yes. - Okay?
You must inform her or she'll be worried. I'll go to sleep.
That's.. That's like a good boy.
Vicky, shall I leave? - Yes, you must leave.
Okay? - Yes, okay.
How will you go? - In a taxi.
No.
I'll not let you travel in a taxi.
I'll drop you. - We've come to the same point.
Okay, I'll not go. Go to sleep.
No, that's really bad.
Mom will be worried. You must go.
I'll go to sleep. You must leave.
Good night.
How will you go?
Mom?
Mom!
Are you back? - Why are you sleeping here?
I was waiting for you.
I've often told you not to wait for me at night.
Go to sleep.
Won't you have dinner?
No, I've already eaten.
Alright.
Somu.
How could you say no for food?
Mom made 'kheer' for you.
She kept talking about you all the while.
Is it? Did mom make 'kheer' today?
Mom, why didn't you tell me that you made 'kheer'?
Will you have? - I'll eat a full bowl.
And go to sleep. Send it with Sarla.
Will you have it or should I throw it?
What do you mean?
Will the 'kheer' taste good after having drinks?
I asked for it to eat, not to throw it away.
I thought you asked for it to please mom.
You don't have time for family anymore.
Why are you being rude?
Somu, mom may not tell you.
But today I'm telling you what she feels.
If you can, please start working.
Manage the expenses of our house.
It's not nice living off Vikram's money.
You seem to have lost it!
We are like two bodies and one soul. He's like my brother.
He's dearer to me than my own life.
What's wrong if he spends on us?
Doesn't he consider mom as his own mother?
Doesn't he love you as a sister? - I understand this.
But this will not shut people's mouths.
People talk all kind of things.
Let them talk. I don't care about people.
But when people say.. They say your brother is a stooge..
Yes, I am. I'm not their stooge at least.
Why do you listen to them?
Go to sleep. Go!
Have the 'kheer'.
'Lamps light. Flowers bloom.'
'But it's hard to find friends in this world.'
'Lamps light.'
'When one's friend separates from him'
'you won't believe, how it hurts.'
'When one's friend separates from him'
'you won't believe, how it hurts.'
'Memories keep wrenching the heart.'
'Lamps light. Flowers bloom.'
'Lamps light.'
'Wealth and youth are lost with time.'
'Honestly, the whole world becomes an enemy.'
'Wealth and youth are lost with time.'
'Honestly, the whole world becomes an enemy.'
'But friends stay with us forever.'
'Lamps light. Flowers bloom.'
'But it's hard to find friends in this world.'
'Lamps light.'
Incredible! This is called song.
You sing very well.
To me, you're the best singer.
No, don't say that! - Why?
People only call me your stooge now
if they hear this, they may call you my stooge.
Let them say anything.
They'll call me your stooge not somebody else's.
Somu, I have an advice for you. - Yes.
You should become a singer. - Okay. You become a drummer.
The only way to be together, I sing and you play the drums.
I can play drums even now. - Is it?
But the problem is I can't play it in rhythm.
Hello? Yes.
A call from Bombay for Vicky?
Just hold on, please. One second.
Hello? Yes.
Yes, Mr. Dhutia.
What! When did this happen?
Why didn't you call me the same day?
You're the limit!
How is dad now? - What happened to him?
Yes! Yes, I'm coming.
Yes, I'm coming!
What happened?
What happened to dad? - This useless manager, he's a..
Dad had a heart attack three days back.
But he informed me today.
He says dad had forbidden him. Idiot!
Whose father is he? His or mine?
Make a call to the airport. - Vicky, don't worry.
Our friend Omi works there! I'll do something.
Vikram? - How is dad now?
He's fine. There's nothing to worry.
You'd be upset, so he stopped me from informing you.
It happened ten days back. - Ten?
What's all this?
The doctor said, this happened ten days back.
And I get the news today?
It was a minor attack.
What would have you done anyway?
So, why let me know even today?
Why did Dhutia say that it happened yesterday?
Idiot! - Vicky, sit down.
Sit down, my dear boy.
Don't get excited.
Doctors say there are many reasons for a heart attack
and one among them is excitement.
Listen, do get your blood pressure checked.
My blood pressure is perfectly fine.
Then, where have your manners gone?
You didn't even wish Nisha.
Oh! Hello, Nisha.
Hello, Vicky.
How is your dad? - He is fine.
And how are you?
I'm very well. Thank you.
Is that it? - What else should I say?
She'll start lecturing on socialism
communism and politics.
You hate talks about socialism, don't you, Vicky?
Yes, especially from a millionaire's daughter.
If my millions can buy socialism
I'll surely give them away.
But socialism is a system..
Look! Didn't I tell you? She has started lecturing.
But Nisha, I don't understand one thing.
Why should we part with our millions?
God has gifted some with brains and some with strength.
He hasn't created everyone alike.
Correct! Now, answer him. - Vicky hasn't changed.
Vicky? Somu here.
How is your dad? I hope there is nothing to worry.
No, nothing to worry about.
Out of danger? - Yes, everything is fine.
When will you return?
Delhi seems like a prison without you.
I'll be back in a few days. Okay?
Somu, do you want anything from here?
Ask mom and let me know. Okay?
Dad. I think it's very difficult to think about it.
I mean, I wanted to think, but I could not think.
What? - The decision.
Dad, can't I be on both sides?
I'm thinking the same too.
Though, I had a minor attack
yet these stupid doctors refrained me
from going to work for the next two months.
Now, until I don't go to work, you..
What are you saying, dad? What'll I do there?
I don't know anything about business.
In two days, they'll realize I'm a fool.
Two days?
Uncle, is your staff so stupid?
When my dad asked me to take over the business
I gave the same answer to my dad.
But in a few days I realized, business is a lot of fun.
I'm sure, in seven days.. - No, dad.
It's hard to convince me.
Alright. Go to office tomorrow morning.
And listen, if you get bored
look at this photograph and think
how he could've started this business with 200 rupees.
Wow! Just 200 rupees?
Great man.
Mr. Vikram.
Mr. Dhutia, my grandfather looks like Mao Tse-tung, right?
These are some papers. Please sign them.
Why? - What?
Why should I sign? I haven't signed before.
Hereafter, you'll do it. You're a partner in this mill.
Who are the other partners?
Your father is your partner.
Okay.
So, can I talk to my partner? - Sure.
Get me my residence please.
Dad, Vicky.
Mr. Dhutia wants me to sign some papers.
Should I sign them?
Sure, son.
But remember this.
Never sign any paper without reading.
But there are many papers, dad. So many..
Do I have to read them all?
You never read in college. At least read now.
Okay.
Dad has tricked me.
You all are trying to trap me.
Where do I sign? - Here.
Have you checked them? - Properly.
So, should I sign? - Yes.
Bipinlal? - Yes.
Call him quickly. Why did you make him stand outside?
Who is Bipinlal? - He's a batch clerk here.
Batch clerk? Why do you need to be nervous?
Hello, Mr. Dhutia. - Hello, Mr. Bipinlal. Come.
Please have a seat.
They still haven't announced a verdict for Babban's case.
It'll be decided in a day or two, Mr. Bipinlal.
You've been saying that since two months. What's this?
You must decide by tomorrow or..
Who is Babban?
He's a worker at our mill. He lost his hand in our machine.
The union is demanding for compensation.
Who had placed the hand in the machine? - What?
Did I thrust the hand in the machine or did you?
Compensation for what?
He hadn't placed the hand in the machine either.
You're the boss, so it's your duty..
Do not teach me my duty.
The union has been requesting since the last two months.
You must decide on this.
You're threatening me to give you alms.
It's not a threat, it's a warning.
Oh!
Get out.
I said, get out!
What did you do, Mr. Vikram? - What?
Mr. Bipinlal is the union leader.
So what? You can't beg at the point of a gun!
Don't give too much importance to a servant.
It's not so, Mr. Vikram.
They'll go on a strike right now.
No! You did the wrong thing, Vicky.
You made a rash decision.
Foolishness? A mere clerk threatens me and you.. - Vicky.
Temper and conviction have no place in business.
This struggle has been
present between these two groups since ages.
And it'll continue.
To win them, you have to think of new ideas every day.
You'll have to invent new ways.
This is the real challenge.
If you're clever enough, you'll make them work
and never let them form a union.
It's a very thrilling game, my dear son.
Play and you'll be addicted to it.
As for now, just apologize to Bipinlal tomorrow.
What! Apologize?
You do take medicines when you are ill, don't you?
Why? To cure the illness.
Apologize, to avenge Bipinlal in future.
Then, I'll consider you my son.
Go.
Just do as I say.
Listen!
Don't forget the humiliation
you will face while you apologize.
That will be your strength.
Yes, sir.
Jay Singh, keep a close watch on Vicky.
No one should harm him. - Don't worry.
Till I'm alive, no one can harm your son.
Here.
Forget yesterday's incident.
I.. I'm sorry.
Did Vicky apologize?
Good.
Is he very upset?
Aditya, listen.
Book him on a flight to Delhi.
And tell him, I asked him to go to Delhi for a few days.
Somu. Vikram is here.
Vicky? Who told you?
He's upstairs in your room.
Listen. He's very sad.
I'm sure something's wrong. - Sad?
Vicky, when did you come? - By the last flight.
How is your dad? - He's fine now.
What happened? Did you fight with him?
Tell me.
There was a fight, with a pimp. - A pimp?
Yes, an agent of the workers.
A union leader. A worker at our mill.
So you ran away from Bombay? Afraid of a worker?
You remind me of someone who has overpowered an enemy
but is afraid of his next move. - Stop it, Somu! Stop it!
Sorry. What happened?
Tell me.
He's a mere worker and I had to apologize to him in writing.
Apologize?
Who asked you to apologize?
Dad. A worker's hand was severed while working.
Tell me, was it my fault? Was it my fault?
Tell me everything. Come here.
Then?
That's it. I had a fight with Pandey, the man from the union.
The workers went on strike and I had to apologize to him.
And now I'll have to go to office every day.
I'll have to face the man before whom I had begged.
Scoundrel.
I'll destroy him! Somu, I'll finish him.
How long does it take to finish a man?
Just give anyone 500 rupees, that's it.
No, Somu. I do not want to kill him.
I want to finish him off. Wipe him off.
Tell me what I should do.
Vicky.
I want to go to Bombay with you.
Will you really come with me?
Give me a job.
Don't worry. I'll hire you as an additional manager.
No, a worker. - What?
Brother, this is the new boss.
Greetings, sir.
Who is he? - Who?
The one with the band on the head?
Chander, a new apprentice.
Who has hired him? - The manager, not me.
Someone recommended him.
But he's a good worker. He'll learn the work.
Not only work, teach him how to greet too.
Chander. - What is it?
Don't you know him?
Who? - The one who just left.
He's our boss. Mr. Maharaj's son.
So? - Why didn't you greet him?
Will I get paid for my work or for greeting him?
You'll die. You'll lose your job.
Get back to your work.
Fool.
Do it fast. Why are you taking time?
I'm doing it. - Then do it.
I don't understand anything.
First, you said you'll work in the mill.
Now, you're staying in the colony. What is all this?
Vicky, tell me from your heart
do you want to take revenge on Bipinlal or not?
I want to take revenge.
Honestly, Somu.
Finishing Bipinlal is the biggest aim in my life.
I'm scared to come to the mill.
If he comes in front, I change my path.
I feel like..
You want to finish Bipinlal.
But do you know Bipinlal's position amidst the workers?
What? - They consider him as God.
He can't be deposed.
Then?
I'll have to become superior to him in the eyes of the workers.
And for that it's important to know them closely.
Each one's name, address, house and everything.
It's possible if I stay with them.
Hence, I've rented a house in the colony.
I should not even come here.
If anyone sees, all our doing will go to waste.
Who will come 20 miles away from the mill to see you?
What if someone comes? - Don't talk nonsense.
If you don't want to come here, no need to go there.
Okay, fine. I'll come late at night.
But buddy, I'm unable to adjust all this mentally. - What?
The fact that you have to stay in the colony.
Dear, if you weren't my friend
I'd be staying in the colony. - Shut up.
Now, I'll become a leader and deliver speeches.
Brothers and sisters, if a worker doesn't work for a day
his family starves that day.
People of India, open your eyes to see the truth.
See the poverty strewn all around you.
The people of our country are unhappy and helpless.
So, we have to fight.
We'll have to make the poor richer and the rich poorer.
Yes! Yes!
And turn every village into a city and vice versa.
Applause!
Very good. That was a good start!
This is just the beginning. See what happens next.
Cheers! - Cheers!
Are you drunk?
It's the same thing, friend.
Give me either a drink or sorrows.
Liquor and tears can both be gulped.
What? Repeat that.
The grief of my heart cannot be repeated.
It's a flame, which cannot be brought to the lips again.
Wonderful!
You're a great poet!
What is your name?
Name? - Yes.
Alam. - Alam?
Alam, my friend, where do you stay?
The footpath and the road is our nest.
The world belongs to me as I have no house to stay.
But now I stay next to aunt's house.
Who is that? Does she sell liquor?
Don't say that.
The poor lady sells liquor.
If the government comes to know, they'll arrest her.
But only if someone sells hunger and thirst..
Never mind! Shall we go to aunt's place for one more?
Yes, let's go for it! Come on!
What's the matter?
Never mind! Maybe some other time.
Why?
You have no money?
Don't worry. I'll pay. Let's go.
Come on, buddy. - Come.
Alam! Careful! It's a pit!
One, two and three.
Come, friend. - Yes.
You've come again.
Patience, ma'am.
I haven't come here, instead he brought me here.
Enough! There's no need for poetry.
I do not come here to recite poetry.
I want liquor. - There is no liquor.
No? - Don't say that, ma'am.
Your business will shut down!
I don't care if the shop shuts, but you'll not get liquor.
Will you serve it? - No!
Alright.
Come, friend. We'll go to Pascal. - Yes.
Go to Pascal's. Do you have money?
I don't have money.
But he's wealthy. Right, friend?
I'm asking you, not him.
Lady, a poor person's hunger, thirst
wealth are all the same. Get it?
There is no discrimination.
Take the money. Bring us some liquor.
This man will also die someday. Go sit there!
Come, friend.
Did you see?
This lady does not sell liquor.
Since when do you know her?
Since my last life.
Was she the same in her last life?
Yes. Even then she would spread love.
First eat, then drink.
Your eyes have become listless.
Dear, first make him eat something.
He does not listen to me. If I stop him here
he will drink somewhere else.
Dear, does this belong to him?
This is a hand bill.
Check its back. He was writing something on it.
Yes, ma'am. - What does it say? Please read it out.
From a pond to the river, from the river to the ocean.
A drink, deeper than the ocean.
I spend my evenings, drinking alcohol.
I wonder, why he is upset!
Why doesn't he wish to live?
People are dying in the hope to survive.
I live with a hope to embrace death.
Accident. - What happened?
Run!
What happened there?
Run! - Is everything alright?
Someone is hurt once again.
It seems there is an accident in the worker's section.
No, the crowd is gathered at the machinery section.
Looks like the machinery section has been jinxed.
Something happens there every month.
What happened, Dhondu?
Karim's hand was severed.
Karim, who? - Aisha's father.
Is he badly hurt?
Karim got saved, but his hand got severed.
God knows what will he do now!
Nothing! He'll get a few thousand rupees as compensation.
He'll live off it as long as he can, and then die. What else?
Vicky. - Yes?
In a way it's good that Karim met with an accident.
Karim? Who is Karim?
The one who lost his arm.
That's the limit! You remember the names of the workers.
Vicky, these petty things
are very important to these laborers.
You have a driver, a laundry-man.
Have you ever addressed them by their names?
Address your driver by his name
he'll feel obliged. He'll become your slave.
He'll love that you called him by his name
and that he was recognized by his name.
Buddy, you've turned out to be a clever man.
These are the tricks of the trade, boy.
Take advantage of the situation.
Karim lost his hand, but it's actually Bipinlal's loss.
How's that?
I'll tell you.
Tomorrow, when you arrive at the factory..
Sir!
I want to talk to you.
Yes?
I hope you know that Karim's hand got severed.
Yes, a worker lost his hand yesterday.
Yes, that was Karim.
Is his hand worth mere 2,000 rupees?
What are you trying to say?
All I'm saying is that Karim has two small children
and he also wants his daughter to get married.
Besides that he has an aged mother, a wife.
It may take another two months before
he's discharged from the hospital. - So what do I do?
Sir, do this! When Karim returns
he should get his job back and 5,000 rupees
should be paid to his family.
Money does not grow on trees to demand as much as you want.
Even hands don't grow on trees
that one can be replaced by another.
The hand that has worked hard for your livelihood.. - Shut up!
Nobody feeds us.
I've only followed the rules.
I gave him 2000 rupees as per the law. It's been given!
Sir, do remember this.
You pass this way every day.
Someday, some part of a machine could fall on you.
Unfortunately, if both your arms get severed
then you shouldn't worry
all of us will contribute and give you 4000 rupees.
Are you trying to threaten me?
I don't know about threats
all I know is that if Karim does not get 5,000 rupees
you too could lose your arms.
You must get them insured.
You get yourself insured. This company is responsible for you
and not for your family. Understand?
What is all this? What's happening?
Move aside.
Why were you arguing?
I wasn't arguing, I was asking for a worker's right.
This is the union's responsibility, not yours.
What has the union done?
It just got 2,000 rupees for Karim.
We are only abiding by the law.
Who has made the laws? You? Him? We workers?
Do you think the boss will give 5,000 rupees just like that?
Forget the boss
I could even fight the world for the workers' rights.
Of course, you can fight, but do it methodically.
What is happening here?
Mr. Bipin, what is happening?
Send the workers to work. This isn't a break time.
And yes, the boss has agreed to pay Karim 5,000 rupees
and give him his job back.
Long live, Chander!
It's 'Holi'! - Give me a cup of tea!
It's 'Holi'!
I don't care if it's 'Holi'! I don't celebrate it.
You may not, but we celebrate.
Leave me alone. - It's 'Holi'!
Darn you! How dare you spray color on me?
Stop harping and complaining.
Hey! Step back! Come on, step back!
Why did you spray color on me?
If not colors, do you expect me to spray milk on you?
Oh go away! A 22-year-old woman wants to play 'Holi'.
Shut up! What else you do expect me to do on this festive day?
Should I show you how to celebrate it?
Go away! Pauper! You can't do anything.
What did you say? - Pauper!
Brother! - Now you remembered brother?
Come out, let's celebrate. - What happened, Chander?
I was passing by and this girl sprayed color on me.
No brother, I.. - No, brother!
Is she your sister? - Yes.
You've spoilt his new shirt.
Why did he wear it? Didn't he know, today is 'Holi'?
That true, but.. - But what?
The one who stayed here earlier
didn't say anything even when I had poured hot soup on him
by mistake once.
And this dude, he's acting smart.
No. - She's insulting me. She called me a dude.
No, she said that to me. - Then it's alright.
I'll slap you! Did you prepare the drink?
We're coming to drink. Come on, leave!
Chander. - Yes?
Come, let me serve you some hooch. - Hooch?
Is it strong? Will I get tipsy?
It's called the sacrament of Lord Shiva. You'll be flat.
What's that?
Flat! - What?
It's English, you'll not understand. Come.

Friend.
Give me the bottle. - Here.
Are you having liquor right after drinking hooch?
Watch the fun.
It's so much fun.
Dhondu! It's locked. I can't unlock it. - Oh!
I had warned you not to drink liquor over hooch.
You're stoned.
Quiet.
Shut up!
Sridhar.
Sridhar! - Yes, sir?
Do we have any dirty sheets? - What?
Dirty sheets. - Dirty sheets?
Yes. Do you have it? - Yes.
Bring it.
I have bloated again. I've become a balloon.
Hold me. I'm flying.
Leave him. Let him go out of the roof.
Hold me or I'll fly.. - Okay.
What has happened to all of you?
Dhondu is drunk. Are all of you possessed to scream?
I made them drink. Now, they'll fly with me.
Alright. Have some tamarind juice.
Give it to him too. - Who?
What is Chander's name?
Go ask Chander's name and give it to him too.
I've bloated again. Hold me. I've become a balloon.
Hold me! - Wait.
Chander, stop crying.
What else do I do? What if my fingers don't get unlocked?
They'll surely get unlocked by tomorrow morning. - Move aside!
Shyama, my fingers! - What happened?
They're stuck. - Show me.
Are they free now? - Yes.
Alam, it's unlocked. You all can go.
Free!
Wonderful. - Here.
So what was I saying? - Nothing.
What were you saying?
I asked you to have this and go to sleep. - Right.
I was saying that I'll eat whatever you ask me to eat.
Even if you serve me poison, I'll have it.
What else is there to eat?
Are there any sweets?
First, have this. - Okay.
What happened? - Look, my hands are stuck on my knees.
Darn!
Why do they get stuck?
What's it now? Why are you laughing?
My hand is now stuck to your hand. - Get lost!
You're very pretty.
Say it in English.
You're an idiot.
You too are an idiot. - I agree.
Good morning, sir.
Can't you greet him?
I don't like greeting my boss. I can't flatter him.
It's not flattery, he's the boss.
So what if he's the boss? - What do you mean?
What if he's the boss!
Aren't you scared of losing your job?
A hardworking man will find hundred jobs.
I don't worry about it. Go, do your work.
Brother, who is Chander?
Me. I mean, him. That's him! Chander!
The boss is asking for you.
Why? What does he want?
Nothing happened to him, but you will be in problem. Go.
He will lose his job. - Yes.
He's going to be dead.
Come in!
Did you ask for me, sir? - Yes. Close the door.
Sorry? - Close the door.
Tell me, sir.
You fool. Why didn't you come yesterday?
Don't talk about it at work. - Don't change the topic.
Why didn't you come yesterday? - Yesterday..
Explain why? Yes?
Good morning, sir. - Good morning.
Mr. Rotya isn't well. He won't come to work. - Okay.
Answer me! You may go.
Now, answer me. Why didn't you come?
There was a huge problem. - What happened?
Yesterday, my fingers got locked.
How can you call that locked fingers?
I was severely ill.
Were you ill or had other things on mind?
How can you forget a friend for a girl?
Talk softly. - Sorry.
You think I don't know anything? - What do you know?
I'll tell you. I had come to your house yesterday.
You came to my house? At the slum?
Yes, my dear.
And I saw that girl feeding you.
Why did you come there? Had anyone seen you..
Don't change the topic. - Don't shout, speak softly.
Sorry.
Who was that girl?
She lives in the neighborhood.
You mean in your arms?
I meant, she's my neighbor. She stays next-door. - Oh.
What is her name? - Shyama.
Shyama? So you already know her name?
Obviously, the girl is my neighbor.. - Don't shout.
Sorry. - Care for a smoke?
You've lost your mind. - But, Somu..
I'm not Somu, my name is Chander.
Right! Mr. Chander, I must praise your taste.
Your Shyama is very pretty.
Did you do anything? - What?
Did you do anything with the girl? - No, nothing..
Why? Why didn't you?
Will you do it, when you get old?
Did you see? He's young, but does not do anything.
What did he not do, sir? - Work! He does not work.
He's always gossiping. Now, go and do some work.
Excuse me, sir..
Name! Knowing her name..
I mean, talking won't take you anywhere. Leave!
Yes, sir.
And listen. - Yes.
I need a report for everything you do. - Sure.
Thank you. - Now, leave!
Yes, tell me?
Why do you keep coming back?
To get these papers signed. - Really? Give them to me.
Did you read them? - Yes.
So, I should sign them? - Yes.
Dad advised me not sign any documents without reading.
Then?
The usual.
The boss yelled. I shouted louder than him.
I stood in front of him and said
'Long live revolution!'
Did you really say that to the boss?
Yes, of course.
Weren't you scared?
I get paid for working, not for greeting.
What is happening, Dhondu?
He was amazing today. - What did he do?
He back-answered his boss.
I hope, he won't be fired. - What did he say?
What did you say? - Nothing.
That conversation with the boss.
Oh, that? Dhondu was amazing today.
Shyama, let's have tea to celebrate it.
Hey! - Yes?
Take this.
This is a sari. Who have you brought it for?
Well, I don't wear it! - So?
Look at her. - He has brought it for you.
Wear it. You'll look like a film star.
Vicky, the mill's Founder's Day is round the corner.
The workers think they'll get a bonus.
Yes, even dad said, it has to be announced.
Do not announce it.
Why?
We'll not give away the bonus so easily.
We'll create some more drama
so that they feel that they wouldn't have got the bonus
without me.
You are amazing! You are very far-sighted.
Fantastic! Give me your hand.
Somu. - Yes.
Your hands have become rugged while working on the machines.
I don't like it.
Vicky, why did I leave my mother, sister, my house
and stay in the slums?
Because you're dearer to me than my life.
I had seen tears in your eyes the other day.
I'll punish the ones who do not let you live peacefully.
Look, these hands haven't become rugged
but instead have become strong.
Now no one can separate us.
Who is that? - That must be Nisha.
Nisha? - Yes.
Is she your new girl?
No! She's wooing me on dad's request.
Alright, then I'll leave.
You.. - I know, I'll get out from the bathroom.
Hi! - Hello.
What were you doing? - Nothing. Drinking whisky.
Come, sit.
I was getting bored alone.
Alone? - Yes.
But I can see two glasses.
Yes, both are my glasses.
This is mine and this is for my friend.
Who's that?
There is one in Delhi.
In Delhi? - Yes.
Sure? - Yes, why?
Just like that.
I felt someone was here before I walked in.
Or, was it a lady?
Nisha, you're very clever.
And it's very difficult to be friends with a clever girl.
You?
Chander? - Yes.
I'm Karim's mother.
Hereafter, I will consider you as my son too.
They are Karim's wife and children.
Chander, I pray to God to bless you with a long life.
Dear, I have cooked something for you.
You must eat this for dinner.
May God bless you.
You've saved us from asking for alms.
Give us our bonus or resign
We'll take our bonus.
What's the matter? What happened?
We get bonus on the Founder's Day every year.
We won't get it this year. - Why?
The boss says, our profit has reduced this year.
But we had enough work.
The output was the same. - Yes.
They say, this year the tax has increased
so the profit has been less. - My foot!
If the tax has increased, the prices have increased too.
And the public pay their taxes, not the bosses.
Then why won't we get a bonus?
You'll not get bonus like this.
If you want bonus, go on a strike. Threaten to stop work.
Chander, do not instigate the workers!
Before going on a strike you've to assess your strength.
And you've to see the condition of the workers too.
You are aware that the monsoons will start next month.
The ones who are scared of rain
can't face the storm, Mr. Bipin.
You go and sleep under your blanket.
I'll get the workers their bonus.
You're interfering in the union's work, Chander.
I don't stop the union from doing any work.
You shouldn't stop me either.
Brothers, I'm going to meet the boss.
You can come along if you want.
Yes, let's go. - Stop!
Chander! Chander!
What is this? What is all this?
We've come to ask for our rights.
Here.
Talk to me.
Is this any way to ask for your rights?
Rights aren't demanded, but instead they are demanded.
Every year, workers get a bonus on this day.
We've come to take this year's bonus.
What if I don't give it to you?
We know ways to collect it. - What will you do?
We work hard for the prosperity of this mill
we can ruin it too.
Your hard work is not the only reason for the mill's success.
We used our brains to build this mill.
You can make plans with your intelligence, but not buildings.
We put efforts to run the machines
we can also shut them down, if we want.
If I've hired you, I can also fire you!
You can fire us, but you can't save the mill.
Are you threatening? Get out! I said..
Mr. Dhutia, call the police.
Why just the police? You can call the army too.
But if we don't get our bonus within 24 hours
or you'll have to bear the consequences. Let's go.
We'll take our bonus at any cost
or we'll demolish this mill!
We'll go on strike to fight injustice!
Long live the revolution!
Mr. Dhutia.
Mr. Dhutia! - Yes?
Yes, Mr. Vikram.
Did you inform the police? - Yes.
Stop the police and announce the bonus.
Excuse me?
I said, stop the police and announce the bonus.
We've got it. - Yes, finally.
Here he comes! - Bravo!
What is all this?
We've decided to elect you in the union elections
instead of Mr. Bipinlal.
Why are you tricking me into becoming a leader?
I don't want to become a leader.
I'm a worker, let me remain one. - Shut up.
Who wants to know your opinion? It's our decision.
Brothers, in the coming election
Chander will contest against Bipinlal on our behalf.
Hail Mr. Chander! Hail Mr. Chander!
'Ladies and gentlemen!'
'Brothers and sisters!'
'In Hindi, ladies and gentlemen!'
'Brothers and sisters. Listen to me carefully.'
'He's a liar. Don't vote for him.'
'Don't vote for him, even if he gives you money.'
'We work hard and he reaps the benefits.'
'Oh my God! Don't you utter my name.'
'He's a liar. Don't vote for him.'
'Say it! - He's a liar. Don't vote for him.'
'Our leader isn't a lion, but a mouse.'
'He accepts bribe and goes to the movies every day.'
'He goes to the movies every day.'
'Our leader isn't a lion, but a mouse.'
'He accepts bribe and goes to the movies every day.'
'I see. - Yes!'
'He supports the thieves, he is not with us.'
'Do not support him.'
'He's a liar. Don't vote for him.'
'My dear countrymen.'
'Listen to me carefully.'
'He's not yours, nor mine, but the boss's stooge.'
'He licks his boots and is crazy about money.'
'He's crazy about money.'
'He's not yours, nor mine, but the boss's stooge.'
'He licks his boots and is crazy about money.'
'Oh, he's a thief indeed. - Yes.'
'He'll let you down, as soon as he gets the chance.'
You shouldn't complain to us later.'
'He's a liar. Don't vote for him.'
'Don't vote for him, even if he gives you money.'
'We work hard and he reaps the benefits.'
'Do not even take his name.'
'He's a liar, Don't vote for him. - Absolute liar!'
'Don't vote for him.'
'He's a liar, Don't vote for him. - He's a liar.'
'Don't vote for him.'
Chander Singh! Chander Singh!
Chander Singh!
Mr. Bipin! Chander Singh!
That's it.
Chander has won.
Dad!
Hey! Out.
What happened?
I want to give you a good news, dad.
So why not in front of him? - No. I don't like this man.
Dad, I've avenged my insult.
Bipinlal Pandey is out of the union.
I know. He's replaced by your friend.
What?
You.. Did you already know that?
I'm not taking care of such a big business just like that.
But Vicky
you don't need to be very excited.
Why?
Because your friend comes from a section of the society
which makes him neither a beggar, nor rich.
I mean, the middle class.
They are very dangerous.
You can't trust them. - No, what are you saying..
Most traitors and the loyalist are
from the middle class.
They have the ambition to make it big.
So, it's easy to make them traitors.
But on the other hand
one thing always sticks to them like glue
which is their conscience.
Vicky, their conscience can turn them into our enemy anytime.
This is the last case.
We need to send some money to Maheshwar in Akola.
His father passed away.
How? - He was standing all day for rations.
He died all of a sudden due to a heart attack.
Alright, send him some money today.
You wanted to see the colony, didn't you? Let's go.
Hello Karim. What's been happening?
I'm here to invite you to my daughter's wedding.
Congratulations, sir. Won't you give us sweets?
It's your sister's wedding.
It's all thanks to God's grace and your mercy.
You've saved my family from poverty.
God cut off my hand
and so I got 5000 rupees as compensation.
Else my daughter would've stayed unmarried.
'It cuts very easily, my friend.'
'Try cutting your neck with this string.'
Alam, do you fancy to fly a kite in the old age?
You can call it my passion and also my profession
because this is my livelihood.
You hardly eat, you only drink.
You can leave. - Okay.
Is it your passion?
It's my passion because when the kite flies very high
I feel happy to control those high up in the sky.
I'm not talking about God!
I understand, friend.
You mean people staying in skyscrapers, right?
Go get some tea and biscuits.
Alam, I need some thread by evening.
You'll get it, dear. A very strong one.
How are you, Alam? - Come, Anandi.
I'm fine, how are you? - Fine.
And how is Shankar? - He's the same.
I hope he's getting a treatment done.
Yes, it is.
This is wonderful! My friend..
What are you doing?
You've just ordered for tea.
We all know that Anandi is a prostitute.
But what else can she do?
Her husband's ailing in bed since six months.
She has two small children.
How will she feed them?
How will she treat her husband?
Should she steal?
Would she get more respect had she asked for alms?
Some sell talent, some loyalty, and some sell their conscience.
The only difference is that Anandi sells her body.
Friend
I want to give you something.
You're taking care of these poor people.
These are my poetries, my poems.
I don't have any right to keep them here anymore.
Somebody else wrote them.
It wasn't me. It was someone else.
I lost the battle of life to alcohol.
Take care of it.
It has been two months since the elections
and you're still staying in the slum.
You said, you'd appoint someone else and resign.
What happened?
I should find someone else.
What about your friend, who wakes you up every morning?
Dhondu? - Yes, him!
He's a fool. He can't even give a thumb impression.
We need a man like him.
It's difficult to detach an illiterate man from his folks.
Only those who want to fly can be detached.
What else will you do?
Vicky, I can finalize only on one man.
Who?
Bipinlal.
What?
Here, have a drink first.
You look upset.
Vicky, how much does a Chivas Regal bottle cost?
About 250 rupees. Why?
And it makes about 12 drinks, right?
Yes.
And one drink must be for about 25 rupees? - Correct.
It means this one glass is equal to a worker's
monthly ration for his family.
Have you ever thought
that we make a family starve when we drink this?
What has happened to you?
You're talking like a union leader.
I don't know, Vicky. I think I feel for them.
Drink it! This is will take away all your worries. Cheers!
Bottoms up!
Sugar scarcity
Cooking oil scarcity
Oil and sugar scarcity
Kerosene scarcity creates havoc in Kurla
No supply of grains
Is Mr. Bipinlal home? - Yes. What's your name?
Chander. - Chander! Come inside.
Come.
She's my daughter, Rama. And..
Isn't he the new leader of the union?
Looks like you haven't eaten anything since morning.
Wait, I'll serve meals to you and dad.
I'm not hungry.. - You are not leaving without eating.
She's very stubborn. You'll have to have the meals.
What's the matter? You look very worried.
Mr. Bipinlal, take back the reins of the union.
What do you mean?
I can't tolerate any of this.
I'm scared to see the poverty.
Are you seeing it for the first time?
Mr. Bipinlal, you must take your post
I want to discontinue.
Chander, you can't step back now.
Why not? What do you know about me?
Chander, all I know is
that if you can't bear others' pain
you'll strive hard to rid them of it.
His conscience won't let him turn his back
at the grief and pain.
Mr. Bipinlal, can you tell me
why does poverty exists?
Why are people in so much pain?
There are many reasons.
But the prime reason is
that some people want to buy everything in this country
like the land, and everything else.
Can't all this come to an end?
That is our struggle, Chander.
When the people in politics start thinking
about the welfare of the people instead of acquiring power
or when the people choose the real leader
and eliminate fake leaders
that very day, this dream will come true.
I wonder, when will such a revolution happen!
People here are peace lovers.
If they don't get to eat
they quietly sit
before the ration shop, starve and go back to their homes.
Dad, the food is served.
Rama, come here.
Chander, if you want you can learn a lot from Rama
about this issue. - About what?
Her husband was a well known trade union leader.
He was killed during a strike.
It was only the first year of their marriage.
I took the responsibility of our union after that.
I thought, I'll fight injustice before embracing death.
Why should we die without a fight?
I consider Rama as my teacher.
Don't say that, dad.
I'm scared, Rama. I don't see a way out.
Chander, do you love your people?
Don't you understand their pain and sorrows?
That is enough.
Your love for them will guide you.
Chander! - Dhondu, is that you?
Yes, hurry up! Alam is severely ill.
What happened? - He vomited blood.
There is no chance of survival.
He's not ready to go to the hospital.
He's asking for you. Hurry up!
Aunt, why hasn't my friend come yet?
He'll be here soon. Dhondu has gone to call him.
Will he come after I'm dead?
No, Alam. Don't say that.
Don't say that. You'll be fine.
Alam! Alam! What happened, my friend?
No more sorrows.
Only you were missing from this party.
How would a defamed poet leave this party midway?
I wouldn't let you go, dear.
Let's go to the hospital. Dhondu, call for an ambulance.
No! Don't call for an ambulance.
Now.. You'll carry me on your shoulders. - Shut up!
For the sake of our friendship
you'll do as I say.
Don't bind me with a promise at least on my death bed.
Friend, distribute these kites to children after my death.
Alam. - One more thing.
You must sing the song you had composed.
I'll surely sing it to you once you get better.
Chander, for the sake of our friendship..
'I'm a defamed poet.'
'I bid goodbye.'
'A failure in the crowd.'
'I bid goodbye.'
'I'm a defamed poet.'
'You'll get some things at my house.'
'You'll find a couch belonging to the crazy poet.'
'You'll find one more thing'
'a broken empty glass.'
'I bid goodbye.'
'I'm a defamed poet.'
'I had to endure suffering, had to sleep on a bed of thorns.'
'I still had to cry on my fate.'
'I've left behind many such things incomplete.'
'I bid goodbye.'
'I'm a defamed poet.'
'The paths are stopping me, a few breaths linger around.'
'I wonder what desires remain in my broken heart.'
'Let it go, my heart.'
'My greetings to everyone.'
'I bid goodbye.'
'I'm a defamed poet.'
Alam.
Friend? Alam..
The ambulance is here.
Alam..
No, Vicky.
I can't bear it anymore.
I can't see this anymore.
No one's compelling you to bear things.
Your job is done! Now forget it!
How can I do that?
I can't stop thinking about their poverty.
I can't get that out of my mind.
I don't know, what are you saying!
I don't understand your language these days.
If you could understand my condition
you'd understand the things I say.
Vicky, do me a favor.
I can leave, if I clean my conscience. - What?
Increase their wages!
Agree to their demand of dearness allowance.
Inflation? They already get dearness allowance.
That's not for real, Vicky! It's just a facade.
They get a meager sum in the name of dearness allowance
while the prices of commodities are ten times more.
They survive on dry bread.
When it dries up, they dip it in the tea to swallow it.
For months, they don't eat lentils or vegetables.
Potatoes are getting costlier day by day.
So is cauliflower.. - Darn!
Why do you care about the rates of vegetables?
You really don't need to worry about it.
I'll approve their dearness allowance tomorrow itself.
Dearness allowance for what?
We aren't responsible for inflation.
Have we hiked the prices of the commodities?
It's the government's duty to control the prices.
They should ask for dearness allowance from the government.
But dad they are your workers.
If they eat only bread with tea
how will they get the strength to work?
When did you see them surviving on bread?
Who told you about the increased prices of the goods..
Dad.. - Alright.
Since you're worried, I'll have to think of something.
Leave this to me.
What time is your flight?
11 o'clock. I'll have to leave now.
I've to pick up Mr. Dhutia on the way. - Very good.
Get the deal finalized at the earliest.
It's an ideal location.
But I heard that the place is under a border dispute.
That's the reason.
Son, it's about far-sightedness.
Divide and rule.
An age-old lesson the British taught us before they left.
It's important to divide the workers
to get our work done from them.
Never let them feel they're Indians.
Instead say that, 'You're from Madras, you're from Bengal.'
'You're from Punjab, and you're from Bihar'.
What are you saying, dad? This is cheating.
Absolutely anti-national.
Son, the point is to get our work done.
We've been creating rifts between Hindus and Muslims
and break the unity among the workers
and got our work done.
But unfortunately, people understood the ploy.
Now we have a new pretext.
The border disputes.
Tell the people here
that people on the other side are encroaching on your land.
That's enough. They'll keep fighting among themselves
and kill each other.
They think if they get that land, they'll be rich.
But we'll be the ones to rule.
They'll eat the same dry bread, they've been eating.
Go and set up the factory there.
Later, call Somu and both of you can take care of it.
You'll learn the tricks on your own.
Okay, dad.
Jaisingh. - Yes, sir?
Hope you are keeping a watch on Vicky? - Yes, I do, sir.
How did he come to know the prices of the commodities?
Chander, the new union leader
keeps instigating Vicky.
He is always informing him about things.
That scoundrel comes to our house
to instigate Vicky.
Chander, the big boss is here today.
He's accompanied by his stooge.
Somu!
What are you doing here?
I..
Have you fled from home after a fight?
Silly, you're the owner of this place.
I don't differentiate between you and Vikram.
Are you both playing some prank?
I don't trust both of you.
Come on, come with me.
What a traitor!
At least tell me what happened. - That was really bad!
We can't trust anybody these days.
But who? Say something! - What should I say?
When a man like Chander betrays workers then..
No. That's impossible.
This has happened.
Chander turned out to be our boss's friend.
Thrash him! - Thrash him!
No! - Thrash him!
No.. - Let's go inside.
Thrash him!
What are you doing? Move aside!
Beat him! - Leave him. Move aside!
Look, what have you done!
Have you gone crazy? - Let him die. He's a traitor.
That's a lie. It can't be.
Isn't he a friend of Vicky?
Didn't he come to create a rift? - Yes, he was! That's right!
But he's a changed man now. Just think about it.
If Chander was a stooge
then the boss wouldn't have exposed him before you.
The boss is playing a trick and he wants Chander out.
Despite being their man he has befriended you.
Am I right?
Mr. Bipinlal, it's true that
I had come to break the workers unity.
But after staying with them and learning about life..
I know, Chander.
You may have had wrong intentions
but you've had a change of heart now.
Let's take him inside.
Come on.
Oh God.
Sridhar! Sridhar!
Sir, didn't you go to the airport?
Yes. But I missed my flight. I'll take the evening flight.
Get the suitcase from the car. - Yes, sir.
Sir.
Why have you come here? - I have something important to tell you.
I don't want to hear anything. - It's about Somu.
Just get lost! You spineless broker.
Alright.
Hey! Listen!
Who are you going to inform me about? - Somu.
Who told you his name was Somu? - I came to tell that..
Tell me what? Speak up!
Sir, a broker charges his fees.
Who told you this? - Your father.
He exposed Somu in front of everyone at the mill.
And when he went to the colony, they beat him severely.
What are you saying? - I swear, I'm telling the truth.
I saw it.
Vicky.
Vicky!
Who dared to hit Somu? Tell me.
Who wants to test his courage? Come, take me on.
You scoundrels!
Why don't you come and fight me? Come on!
I'll change my name, if I don't teach all of you a lesson!
I'll burn down the entire colony into ashes.
Somu, come with me.
I won't let you stay here another minute.
Vicky, sit next to me.
I'm not here for that! I've come to take you back! Come on!
It's very difficult for me to leave now.
What do you mean?
You won't understand.
If you had stayed with these people for a few days..
With these people?
Look at the wounds that these people have caused on you.
These are the wounds of penance.
Don't talk nonsense! Get up. Now you're coming with me.
I said, I can't turn back from here, Vicky.
Can I know why?
Vicky, you must have seen this, while passing in your car
children eating from the trash.
You just commented on the sorry state of this country
shrugged off
and continued to drive.
You forget everything within a few moments.
If some day you had got down from your car
and taken a closer look
you may not have travelled in a car ever again.
The same happened with me.
I stepped out of my comfort to have a closer look at them
and then I couldn't go back.
Oh!
This means
these people are more dearer to you.
No, dear. I learnt to love life when I started loving them.
Enough! I've heard enough of your dialogues.
Tell me clearly, are you coming with me or not?
Vicky, can't you come to me?
Here?
I've got my answer, Somu.
Thank you. Thank you very much!
Did you see him going to the colony?
Yes, sir. I saw him going there.
But Vicky shouldn't have gone there.
The people there are very dangerous.
Okay, you can leave.
What is it? - My wife is very sick.
Sir, where do I keep this? - On that table.
Thank you. I have a request, sir.
You shouldn't tell Vicky about the things I told you
or he'll kill me.
Alright. Leave. - Thank you. Thank you, sir.
May I know why you exposed Somu like this.. - Look.
Look at this ship.
It's a gift from an Indonesian friend.
It's made of clove.
I've come to ask about Somu.. - It's such intricate work.
Look. The ship, the people and everything made of clove..
Weren't you supposed to travel?
Why did you expose Somu and got him beaten up?
You haven't answered my question, Vicky.
Meaning? - The meaning is clear.
I asked you, weren't you supposed to take a flight today?
The answer is absolutely clear.
I'm right here, which means I didn't travel.
Why? What for?
I've answered your first question.
Now you should answer my question.
Why did you get Somu beaten up like this?
I regret that, Vicky.
I was hoping that the workers would kill Somu.
If anyone raise their hands on Somu.. - This is my bedroom.
If you want to scream, go among those workers.
Oh yes, I'd forgotten.
There is no place for you even there.
You had a narrow escape from there.
You have feelings for a traitor.
May I know why?
He's a traitor.. - Dad, it's my personal matter.
Whatever happened was between the two of us
and if a third person..
But let me tell you something
if anyone ever tries to hurt Somu
then I will..
Vicky.
I forgot to give you good news.
The doctor has given me the permission to go to work.
You won't have to go to the mill from tomorrow.
Hello, Dhutia?
Terminate Somu.. I mean Chander.. tomorrow morning.
Call a strike!
We've to counter the injustice done to Chander.
We'll do that with a strike! - Yes!
If anyone has an objection, they raise their hand.
Oh, is he okay? - What's wrong with him?
Friends, I think before going on a strike
we must think of the consequences.
There is inflation. Prices are shooting!
And this strike could go on for months
if there is no compromise.
Chander, we've seen years of hunger.
We are not living lavishly anyway.
We anyway don't get proper food or shelter.
Right! We are barely alive. We don't fear death!
Yes, we're not scared of death. - We'll go on a strike!
We'll go on a strike! - Strike!
We'll go on a strike!
So, the factory will be closed from tomorrow.
Sir, Mr. Somu is here.
Why has he come here?
Sir, what should I tell him?
Send him in.
Traitor. - Yes, Vicky.
After all, I am your employee.
So, you can call me a traitor.
But for the Almighty God
I'm not a traitor, Vicky. - Enough!
You can give lectures in the slums. They'll praise you.
Hey, how are you?
I am fine.
Won't you ask me about my wellbeing?
I don't need to. You must be fine.
You have many friends. You're a leader to thousands.
Your words are considered as commandments. What else?
Oh my God!
Are you still mad at me?
Look, I've got a remedy for your annoyance.
What is this?
See for yourself.
Is your mom here?
She has sent sweets for you
and only a letter for me.
Sarla has written it. She says
I shouldn't have the sweet without your consent.
Your mom does not know about this yet, does she?
No, not yet.
But when she comes here.. - Somu!
Whatever happened stays between the two of us.
If your mom learns about it, I'll be very harsh with you.
I haven't met anybody better than you, friend.
Shut up!
Don't call me your friend.
You're still the same. Innocent, a simpleton.
And me? I've grown matured in so less time.
I've passed the age
to get mad at my friend over petty things.
Vicky, this about this. Think patiently.
Am I your enemy?
There is no fight between us, it's between the two classes..
These classes existed even when we were friends.
They exists even when we are..
When? Are we enemies now?
Yes!
Vicky, shall I leave?
Alright, I'll leave.
Hello. - Hello.
Are you Mr. Somu? Vicky's friend?
Vicky is my friend, but nowadays we're not on talking terms.
Good that you are here. He's very lonely.
Will you please shut up and get out?
I could hear your cries when you screamed, Vicky.
Don't mock my weakness.
Weakness? This is your best quality, Vicky.
Like your friend
you can love others more than yourself.
The difference is Somu's love is making him a better person
but you're struggling amidst sadness.
Nisha, don't recite your poetries to me.
I felt like talking to him for some time.
Why? Could you hear poetry in his talks?
Or is it your socialism?
No, Vicky.
We all are barely surviving.
But he's the one who's alive.
Free yourself of this sin.. - Sin? What sin?
Vicky, in today's world
no one can become a millionaire with honesty.
Even if that happens
then with poverty all around
it's a sin to horde money.
In spite of knowing this, the fear of losing everything
makes us amass money.
But in the hope of getting everything, Mr. Somu
has left this path and is trying to live like a human being.
He had just one way to survive in your class
which was to be your stooge.
Would you have liked that, Vicky?
It's good that he learnt to live without you.
Yes, it's good.
It's good that he learnt it beforehand.
It would've been better, had I known him earlier.
Nisha.
When it comes to this, I feel you are very close to me
because only you.. Only you understand my friend.
You said the strike will be called off in seven days
That they'd surrender in three days.
But what happened? It's been a month now.
People are dying of hunger and illnesses.
But what to do? They won't concede.
Have you seen today's headlines?
God willing, this war can't be avoided this time.
War is inevitable!
And war means an opportunity to earn money.
We don't get many such opportunities in life.
And this isn't a world war which will continue for years.
It'll get over in weeks or a month.
How can we miss this chance?
That's true. But what can we do?
Call them and compromise.
As of now, agree to all their demands.
We'll see the rest after the war.
And listen, as soon as the strike is called off
get rid of both Somu and Bipinlal.
There will be a strike again, if we get rid of them.
Why are you acting stupid, Dhutia?
Don't you read the newspaper?
So many things happen in the world.
So many accidents take place.
Getting run over by a truck or a car is pretty common.
Go on, do it.
It's the 33rd day of the strike.
We've managed to stretch it for thirty days.
It is the time to take care and to be cautious.
But remember, if we lose our grip now
we'll get nothing.
Friends, no worker wants to go on strike.
No worker has food stocked for a month at his house.
But we are forced to go on a strike.
And with this strike we have to prove to the bosses
that we aren't as weak as they think. - Yes!
Mr. Vicky.
It's a disaster!
Who told you?
Don't ask me. Save your friend's life.
He's a very nice man.
First tell me, who wants to kill him?
I won't tell you, sir. - Who is that?
You're wasting your time.
Dad? Did he say that?
Why do you want to know the name?
Do you want the name or your friend's life?
Here. - No.
This time I've not come as a broker.
I am being honest for the first time in my life.
I do not want the money.
What are you doing here? - It's over.
What? - The wait.
I was waiting here. - Why?
The strike is at the mill. Why aren't we meeting?
You haven't spoken to me nicely since a month.
Silly! There is enough work during the strike.
We work one shift in the mill
but three shift during a strike.
We've to take care of everyone.
Yes, except for me.
Hey. - Don't you have to care for yourself?
What if something happens to you?
Your life could be in danger during strikes.
Who cares about life?
If I die, there will be ten more like me.
What if something happens to my Chander?
I won't find another Chander.
How can you talk like a coward being a girl among the workers?
Are we only fighting for our own happiness?
Shouldn't we think about others happiness too?
Hey! Hey!
Now go and cook something good for me.
How can I cook good food during the strike?
Silly girl, whatever you cook will be good food.
Now leave. I'll be back soon. Go!
Get going.
Has anyone seen Chander? He has a telegram.
His mother and sister are arriving today.
I saw Chander going there.
There? - Yes.
The train must have already arrived.
Somu!
Pull him down. - Beat him!
Ma'am, you'll have to walk from here. It's nearby.
Hey you, come here. Carry the luggage.
Let's go dear.
Has someone gone to call Mr. Bipinlal? - Yes.
Call for an ambulance. - I'll do that.
Somu! Somu!
Look here, Somu.
Somu.
Somu. Look, It's me, Vicky.
Vicky? - Yes.
Vicky? - Yes, Somu.
I have come, Somu.
Didn't you ask me to come
and join you?
I've come to you, Somu.
Vicky. - Yes, Somu.
Are you here, Vicky? - Yes.
Vicky. - Yes?
Take care of these people.
It's your responsibility..
It's your responsibility.
Yes, Somu. I'll take their responsibility.
I'll take their responsibility.
I promise you, Somu. I..
Somu.
Somu!
What happened?
No!
Listen, son. Where does Somu stay?
Who are you? - I'm his mother.
Why? What's the matter? Where does he stay?
Brother! Brother!
Brother!
Tell us! - Tell us who sent you!
Tell us. - No, spare me.
I'll tell you. - Tell us..
He gave me money..
Who sent you? - I sent him.
Yes, I'm responsible for the murder.
He was a traitor.
My Lord, I brought him here to help me.
But instead of helping me, he became my enemy.
And I..
Greetings, Mr. Bipinlal.
Fourteen years, Vicky?
I've not called you here to cry, Nisha.
I want to give you a responsibility.
Take care of Somu's mom and Sarla.
Mr. Bipinlal, thanks for coming here.
If I tell you why I've called you here
you might laugh.
No, dear. Tell me.
I promised Somu during his last breath
that the fight for which he lost his life
has to continue.
Yes, dear. You don't have to mention it.
Good.
How's dad, Nisha?
The day you surrendered to the police
he got the third heart attack.
He was struggling for life and death for a few days.
Until yesterday, we hadn't told him anything.
But today he knows everything.
After knowing that, he's in such a bad state that
I feel the day he had the attack
he should've..
Vicky, he has come to meet you today.
Why did you let him come here?
Vicky, meet him once. He won't live for long.
Yes, son. Meet him.
Hello, dad.
Why did you do this? To save me?
No, dad.
I know you would've easily saved yourself
with your money and influence.
But I didn't want that.
When I was three years old, mother died.
You nurtured me and brought me up
but you couldn't give me love.
Because you were busy making money.
This is where I got a friend, who was like a brother.
I got a sister, a mother and love.
You didn't just snatch my friend from me, dad
but a son from a mother
and a brother from a sister.
Hence I want you to suffer till you live.
You should get double my punishment.
Does the son have the right to pay for his father's sins?
Go, dad. Go home.
Please, dad.
Leave me alone.
Dad.
Take care of yourself.
Uncle! - Sir.
Son.
