"Nishchay" (Resolve)
Ravi! Are those 3 tractors repaired?
Sir, they're in service from yesterday.
Why didn't you tell me?
Don't neglect everything while teaching my wife horse-riding.
How about the 1000 birds we had to dispatch to Hotel Blue Star?
They were dispatched this morning, sir.
Where are you going so early in the day?
To town. I'll be late tonight. Don't wait for me at dinner.
- Must you go to town today? - Or why would I go at all?
I've promised Brig. Mathur a game of Bridge.
But, you can play Bridge some other day too.
Come on, Renuka. Don't start nagging me.
Oh, I'm not stopping you.
All I am saying it's not a good day to play Bridge today.
Why? What's wrong with today?
I don't believe in this nonsense of auspicious and inauspicious.
She isn't talking about that, sir. It's...
Cut the nonsense.
Saw? He remembers his date with the Brigadier to play Bridge.
But he doesn't remember that it's our Wedding Anniversary.
Brother!
- Brother! - What is it?
Here you are! And I've been looking for you all over.
What for? - I knew you'd say this.
Do you know what the time is? It's Two!
But it strikes Two everyday.
And you bathe and eat too everyday, Mr. Ravi Yadav.
Bravo! You're speaking English!
When you grow up, you will stand like this in the Court...
...dressed in a black robe, and win all the cases!
Your pictures will be published in newspapers...
- Hey, what do you call top? - Best.
Yeah, the best lawyer.
All right. But it's already Two. When do we bathe and eat?
Hey, what time does it take to bathe, Mr. Lawyer.
We run to the river, towel in hand... and take the plunge!
Well, Mr. Lawyer? Mind scrubbing my back?
Come on.
Wow, feels so nice.
Hey, what are you doing? You're tickling me!
I said, on the back! Not the shoulder!
Hey! Where's your hand wandering?
Don't! Or else, I'll strip you and throw you in the river!
What did you say? Strip me? Scoundrel!
What are you doing here? And where your hands going?
Can't you see? I'm applying soap on your back.
Is that my back? Now get lost. Or else...
What will you do? Strip me? Go ahead!
You're getting to be so very shameless, Parvati!
- Why must I be shy with you? - Go away, else I'll drench you.
Hey, don't sprinkle water on hot pan. Or I'll do you in!
My foot, you will! I'd drown you in the river!
Your parents chose a wrong name for you.
My name is Parvati. You should have been Shankar.
Don't insult Gods and Goddesses. Shameless creature!
What's wrong with that? After all you're gonna be my husband one day.
So what's there to be shameful between husband and wife?
Parvati, listen to me. You are a very nice girl.
Don't get involved with me.
There's place for no one but Rohan in my life.
- You'd rather marry Ramdas... - Don't you dare utter his name!
I wouldn't marry that creep, would I?
I suggested his name only because we know him.
You dare not suggest his name again!
That swine has already swallowed my sister!
But I...
If you bring up his name again, I'll do you in!
"So lustrous is your beloved"
"You've explored entire world"
"I am juicy belle, my darling"
"I've kissed you with my eyes"
"Hey, I'm lost, lost, lost"
"You've made me lost"
"With a just a look from you"
"My body is full of lust now"
"As the breeze of love blew"
"You've made me lost"
"With a just a look from you"
"My body is full of desires now"
"With the breeze of love"
"You've made me lost"
I'm a belle much sought after, asking for your love"
"Anywhere you look, you won't find one like me"
I'm a belle much sought after, asking for your love"
"Anywhere you look, you won't find one like me"
"Take something of me, give something of yours"
"I'll draw a picture of my beloved with my eyes"
"You've made me lost"
"With a just a look from you"
"My body is full of lust now"
"As the breeze of love blew"
"You've made me lost"
"My beauty is a storm, I am one in millions"
"My love isn't any less, see me eye to eye and see"
"Take something of me, give something of yours"
"I'll draw a picture of my beloved with my glances"
"You've made me lost"
"With a just a look from you"
"My body is full of lust now"
"As the breeze of love blew"
"You've made me go astray"
Did you send for me, madam? - Yes.
My friend Yashoda is arriving from Bombay today.
Yashoda Gujral.
That's wonderful news. You'll have company for a few days.
You remember me after all these days.
She's had a long journey, darling.
Wouldn't it be right for her to freshen up and rest?
What else does she do in Bombay but rest? - Is it?
You have a grand mansion, Renu.
C'mon then. Let me show you around the mansion first.
You must excuse me.
In any case, I know the mansion very well.
I'd rather attend to some work.
- Shall we? - Sure.
This is like a palace! Renu, you live like a Queen!
Really?
I didn't know that Queens lived like this.
- Why hasn't your husband come? - He's a busy lawyer.
I rarely get to meet him.
He's lost in cases, clients, files and the Law Books.
I don't blame him either.
What would he do.
I can't be a mother.
So he has immersed himself in his practice.
Name and wealth have taken the place of children...
...and I am left all alone.
Where's Tumpa?
She should be here any moment. C'mon.
I'd get lost in such a big house.
How'd you find yourself, if you were lost?
I am lost everyday.
And everyday I find myself again.
Gardner uncle! Have you seen the guests?
What guests, Rohan? Only a lady has come.
- All alone? - Yes.
- No girl or boy with her? - I've heard she has no children.
May I have some roses, uncle? - Sure. Go ahead.
What is your name, son? - Rohan Yadav.
Rohan Yadav!
Wonderful! You even got a proper name at such a young age.
You know? When I was of your age, I was just Yashu.
Do you stay here?
Yes. My brother, Ravi Yadav works here.
He looks after the horses, tractors and all other work.
Really? He manages all that?
Yes, madam.
Which standard you're studying? - 5th standard.
- You're the lady's friend, aren't you? - Yes.
Okay, tell me...
...you're into a lot of mischief, aren't you? Go on... tell me.
- Yes, I do. - I knew it.
You have to be mischievous!
Because you're like mischievous little Lord Krishna!
That's the name of gardener uncle.
I'm Rohan Yadav. Didn't I tell you?
Oh, sorry, Rohan. All right. Let's go in.
- Inside? - Yes. - Servants don't allow me in.
They say, what business do servant's children have in there.
They're fools. Come with me.
They'll scold me, once you have left.
No one will scold you.
I'll ask Renuka that nobody must scold my Rohan Yadav.
Does she scold you, too? - Oh, no.
She's a very good lady. Tumpa to is good.
We play a lot.
Then what's the problem. Come with me. Come.
Come along, son. Come.
Meet my little kid, Mr. Singh?
I'm glad you brought Rohan along, aunty.
Rohan, come.
Your anklets sound better than the gramophone, Tumpa!
Come along, Rohan. - Yes. Go and play.
Your Mom is a very nice lady. And so is her guest.
But I like you better.
Mom, I've lost my anklet.
What else will happen if you play with the servant's kids?
Rohan is not a thief.
Why not?
Only because he's your favourite Ravi's Yadav's brother?
It's this chap who has stolen the anklet.
Where have you hidden the anklet?
He's not a thief, dad. He's my friend.
Keep quiet, child.
Speak up!
I haven't stolen it, brother...
He is just a kid.
Would you keep out of this, Mr. Gujral
Master...
The anklet was lying in the shrubs outside, sir. See.
He must've hidden it there.
Haven't I told you that Rohan is not a thief?
I didn't steal it, brother... I didn't!
This is exactly why I asked you.
To differentiate between the world inside and outside the mansion.
We belong outside.
Let's go.
You shouldn't have hit the kid.
Don't cry... don't cry and insult your brother and your own tears.
You are not a thief just because they say so.
Wait and watch. I will make such a big man out of you...
...that these very people who humiliate you...
will consider it an honour in felicitating you.
I wasn't even going in. But the lady's guest forcibly took me in.
I know.
The lady's guest is a nice person. She calls me Little Krishna.
That you are.
Bombay must be a big place, right? - Of course.
Will you take me there, brother?
There is an ocean too, isn't it? - Yes.
How does ocean look? - I haven't seen a sea...
...but water is all you can see till far and wide.
Take me there, brother. - Sure. I will, someday.
You've upset my programme, Yashoda.
I had planned on showing you the ancient Lord Shiva temple...
which gives this place its name.
I don't feel like returning either. But...
I understand.
- When Mr. Gujral recovers, you must make a trip here again. - Sure.
And you must spend at least a month with us.
- All right. - Have you kept all her luggage?
Yes, ma'am.
- May I leave now? - Fine.
And where is my Little Krishna?
Brother, look this.
- Greetings, madam. - Greetings.
All I wish to say is this...
...whatever happened yesterday, was undesirable.
Such things keep happening.
There is a vast difference between the rich and the poor.
But you wouldn't know...
because poverty is something you see only in other's homes.
I've made up my mind. I will not let him remain poor.
Everyone raises his hand on the poor.
I will give him a good education and make a lawyer out of him.
Lawyer? Why?
Because my father was hanged for a murder someone else had committed.
Only because he had no money to hire a good lawyer.
God willing, our Little Krishna will be a great lawyer one day.
Don't you forget me! And do visit me in Bombay.
- You will, won't you? - Sure.
- Good-bye. - Good-bye.
I'm lonely again, now that Yashoda has left.
I had prepared myself for this loneliness, even before she came.
But her arrival and departure has upset everything.
Why are you so quiet?
Yes.
I'm listening to you.
That you've always done. But you were never so silent. What's up?
Nothing, madam.
We didn't notice how far we've rode out. Let's return.
Hold it.
What nonsense is this?!
I'm going to kidnap you!
- What nonsense are you talking! - Please don't worry.
I won't harm you... I've always been a faithful servant, haven't I?
I could even lay down my life for you!
But I can't give Rohan a good future with the kind of money I earn.
Your husband has a lot of money.
I'll release you, after he has paid me a price for your freedom.
I'll leave for Bombay with the money.
I'll give Rohan a decent education; make a lawyer out of him...
so that no one calls him a thief ever again.
Let's go home.
Let's go home, I say!
Madam...
- What is it? - I come for your permission.
- What for? - To leave, madam.
Where will you go?
I don't know.
And why must you leave?
How can I stay here anymore, after pulling a knife on you?
You're crazy.
Hadn't I known how you feel...
wouldn't I have reported you to my husband?
Wouldn't I have had you handed over to the police?
Now go and attend to your work. Go on.
Yes.
Crazy chap.
What else is there?
In there. She's bathing.
- Hey, don't do that. - Get lost.
- C'mon... let me take a look! - Shut up!
Why must I shut up? You only get a glimpse for 50 bucks!
To watch the whole film, you've got to pay more!
Get lost...
Help!
Ravi!
Beat up these scoundrels, Ravi! Finish them!
You are supposed to be my brother-in-law! Shameless creature!
Learn to have a bath with your doors and windows shut!
Why don't you teach me?
Shameless.
Ravi!
I've decided something for you, Ravi. - What?
I will start teaching you from tomorrow.
What will I do with education?
Education always helps.
With education, you can find yourself a nice job in Bombay.
You can earn a good salary and give Rohan a better life.
I could do anything for Rohan. Even take up education.
So start teaching me, madam.
You're crazy.
- Will you forget again? - No, I won't.
Ok, repeat.
B A T, Bat.
Bat means bat.
C A T, cat.
Cat means Billi. - Right.
R A T, rat.
Rat means Chooha
Yeah, that's right.
What's going on?
I was teaching Ravi. But what brings you home so early?
Why? Didn't you like the idea of me returning?
You must know how to speak.
You may leave.
Yes.
All this can't happen in my house.
What's going on in this house? What were we up to?
Shut up!
Don't shout! I only wanted to give you a surprise.
I thought you'd be happy to hear Ravi speak in English.
And what do I do alone with myself anyway?
Should he get some education...
...he can find a better job and give his brother a better future.
It's not good to let servants come so close to you.
These people from the slums have rather long tongues.
Your tongue isn't in control either.
Greetings.
Ravi!
Do you ever talk to yourself?
I don't believe in daydreaming... But what's the matter?
Life is contaminated, Ravi. It's difficult to even breathe freely.
Ask your horse to take me into a world of dreams...
...where I can find peace and love.
"Come my horse, keep trotting"
"Wherever, where peace prevails"
"My friend, you stop there"
"O' My friend stop there"
"Wherever you find love"
"Come my horse, keep trotting"
"Love does pain and love does heal"
"Love is no different than you"
"Love does pain and love does heal"
"Love is no different than you"
He's the one who belongs to God"
"And who understand them he's God"
He's the one who belongs to God"
"And who understand them he's God"
"Come my horse, keep trotting"
"Wherever, where peace prevails"
"My friend, stop there"
"Where there is love, stop there"
"Wherever you find love"
"Come my horse, keep trotting"
"Let your world be full of happiness"
"Let your love thrive"
"Let your world be full of happiness"
"Let your love thrive"
"In this place of dreams"
"I had come once, just remember"
"In this place of dreams"
"I had come once, just remember"
"Come my horse, keep trotting"
"Wherever, where peace prevails"
"My friend, stop there"
"Wherever you find love"
"Come my horse, keep trotting"
Something is wrong with Manohar Singh?
He's gone blind.
Everyone knows of the affair his wife is having with Ravi.
Ravi!
Will you take me to the fair?
You love me very much, don't you?
Take a look at me...
...dressed in skirt and blouse, the village belle!
You?! - Yes, it's me.
I'll take you to the fair.
But before that, I'll enjoy your beautiful body.
Don't you dare touch me... or I'll do you in!
Really?
Don't you dare touch me! Ravi!
No! Don't!
No!!
No!
You claim that you have witnessed Ravi Yadav raping Parvati.
That's right, sir.
The poor girl begged and pleaded with him.
But this man here did not heed her cries.
I couldn't bear the injustice, sir... and I shut my eyes.
What I saw later was that he had left, after satisfying his lust.
It's not true, sir... He's lying!
And there was Parvati... lying dead.
Why didn't you try to save Parvati?
You don't know how dangerous this man is, sir.
Had I tried to save her, I'd have been lying dead with her, too.
Your witness. - No question.
You are supposed to be the defense lawyer.
And you have no question to the witness?
This man's testimony can take the accused to the gallows.
The accused must not to lie to his lawyer, sir.
The accused told me that he did not commit the rape.
But this man here states...
...that he has personally witnessed the rape taking place.
So what questions can I ask the witness, sir?
All I can say is that this witness' testimony...
...can certainly prove rape; but not the murder.
Because, when he opened his eyes...
the accused had already left and the girl lay there, dead.
The accused could perhaps have left her alive.
Parvati could perhaps have been killed by yet another person.
In view of this, awarding a death sentence to the accused...
...then it would be a gross injustice, Your Honour.
That's all!
What kind of a lawyer have you hired?
He's speaking against his own client.
- You mustn't say such things in court. - But he was...
Let's talk at home.
The prosecution has not been able to establish a case of murder.
The court, therefore, does not deliver a death sentence.
Nevertheless, this court sentences the accused...
...to 12 years of rigorous imprisonment.
Madam...
I don't understand how all this has happened.
I feel as if I'm responsible for your plight.
- How can you say such a thing? - That's right.
I told my husband that you're innocent.
I asked him to find a competent lawyer...
It has nothing to do with innocence and guilt...
...so what would a competent lawyer do?
It has to do with my destiny.
You were helpless ; and so was your husband.
You wanted me to be learn something and be a good man.
But how could I? I was destined to be imprisoned.
But you mustn't worry.
I will somehow complete my term.
If there's anyone I'm worried about, it's Rohan.
He's all alone, isn't he?
Why will he be all alone? I'm very much with him.
I'll look after him. His future is my responsibility, Ravi.
You mustn't worry about him.
When I come to meet you next...
I'll have made necessary arrangements.
If you could do that, madam, I'd have no regrets in life.
I've never sought anything for myself.
I've wanted everything only for Rohan.
In the future, too, I'd want happiness only for Rohan.
- Greetings. - Greetings, Welcome, Rohan.
What are you looking at? This is your home.
- Where's brother? - He should be here soon.
I must leave now, madam. I've to take 3 p.m. bus to Jagdishpur.
- Bye. - Bye.
Let's go.
You wouldn't listen, Yashoda. You've brought him here at last!
He's our son, now.
What's your name, son?
My name is Vasu Gujral
And what's your mother's name?
Her name is...
Yashoda. - Yashoda Gujral
Now tell me your Daddy's name and touch his feet for blessings.
My daddy's name is Suryakant Gujral..
No... there's no need to touch my feet!
You can very well play mother to him, Yashoda.
But I will never be his father.
I can't adopt a rapist and a murderer's brother!
That is final.
She's now your mother. And your father, too.
Two in one.
Call her anything you wish...
...but you won't call me Daddy. What won't you call me? - Daddy.
Daddy.
Don't worry, son. - Can't I call him Daddy?
Tough for him, that a cute kid like you can't like him daddy.
So what do I call him?
You know his name. Suryakant Gujral
You can call him Mr. Gujral
"You just can't understand what place Vasu holds in my life"
"If he is the Sunset... he is the light of my life, too"
"His arrival has rid me of my loneliness forever"
"I just can't express how much I love my little Krishna"
"All I know is that I'm his mother"
"I can't thank you enough for the Little Krishna"
"With lots of love, yours, Yashoda,"
"You will be happy to know, Ravi..."
"that Rohan is heading for prosperity in his life"
"He was my responsibility. And seeing him happy..."
"...gives me the satisfaction of knowing that I've kept my word"
O Lord! Vasu's results will be out today.
Grant him success, Lord.
Handover your ornaments!
When Vasu gets to know of this...
My foot! He's away at the holy war to give a sermon!
I've returned from the holy war...
...and nobody can touch my mother till I live!
Mother! Mother!
- Why are you touching my feet? - I've passed the examinations.
I'm a lawyer, too.
I'm delighted! This is a dream come true for me.
Hear that?
Lawyer, sir.
Can't I call you my father today? - No.
No way. He must have passed by accident.
Ask him what rank he has stood. - Ninth. - 9th!
Hear that? He's fooling you. - No.
Ask him how many students there were. - Nine.
Which means he has stood last!
Yes.
So what if he hasn't stood first? He has at least passed his exams.
Doesn't your car have No. 9? Our telephone has No. 9, too.
Even the bungalow we live in is located on Plot No. 9.
I like No. 9, because it's very lucky.
It's lucky... for me. Not for him.
Don't you approve of him becoming a lawyer?
Lawyers are licensed to turn falsehoods into truth and vice versa.
So there's another liar in a world of liars!
He can be a lawyer, all right.
But not an honest and successful lawyer like I am.
I had told you the very day you brought him home.
And I repeat... copper can't ever turn Gold.
Despite all these years...
won't you still accept him as your son?
Never!
You have adopted him. And he thinks he's Lord Krishna.
I am firm in my beliefs too.
Nobody can make me change my decision.
Let me tell you of my decision, too.
There will come a day when you will call me your son.
And that will be the best day of my life.
You say that copper can't ever be gold.
That's true!
But a sapling can indeed grow into a tree.
Thanks to a mother like Yashoda.
I was an orphan whom you gave shelter.
There are others too who extend shelter...
but your bitter words only strengthened my determination.
I'm grateful to you... and shall always be.
Bye.
Can't you keep from saying bitter things on a happy occasion?
One little achievement of his and you're triumphant!
And you've never been happy at whatever I've achieved!
True. Mothers find their son's achievements...
greater than their husbands.
Hello. - Vasu.
What are you up to?
Nothing. Mr. Gujral wasn't happy at the news of my turning a lawyer.
I'd have walked out of this house, if it weren't for my mother.
Forget Mr. Gujral! And get ready. We're going to a party.
- Whose party? - Ashok's, of course.
There'll be a lot of beautiful girls! Let's have some fun!
All right. I'll be there.
Thanks for calling. I was feeling bored.
- Okay, bye. - Bye.
Today we had great fun.
Hello... you're late.
My God! Isn't she the complete spelling of beautiful?!
This is my dance teacher, Judie.
Hi. How are you?
Find. Please come.
- Nice party. - Yeah.
Quiet good.
Ashok's parties are always like this.
Meet her. She is Payal.
- HI! - Hi!
This is Judie; my friend and dance teacher.
- And he is... - Vasudev Gujral.
Can't say if you're happy to meet me...
...but I'm delighted to meet you.
Why is that?
Because you're the second most beautiful woman in the world.
Thanks for the complement.
But who's the most beautiful?
My mother.
Let's go.
"You take a look"
"I am lost"
"Take a look, I am lost"
"It's such a beautiful night"
"I am lost on you, you're my life"
"I am lost, you're my life"
"Know not what's in you"
"Take a look, I am lost"
"It's such a beautiful night"
"I am lost on you, you're my life"
"Know not what's in you"
"Take a look, I am lost"
"The wine which pours from your eyes"
"Let me drink it slowly"
"The love which is in my soul"
"Come and wake it up slowly.
"Give your hands in mine"
"And tell me slowly"
"I have felt your hands"
"You are falling in love a bit"
"I am lost on you, you're my life"
"Know not what's in you"
"Look at me, I am lost"
"It's such a beautiful night"
"I am lost on you, you're my life"
"Know not what's there in you"
"Look at me, I am lost"
"The style which is there in your love"
"It has stolen me on the sly"
"I am restless having seen you"
"It's something new which has happened"
"We never met, not even talked"
"Even then it so happened"
"All the diversions and distances vanished"
"Some placid fire has lit"
"I am lost on you, you're my life"
"Know not what's there in you"
"Look at me, I am lost"
"It's such a beautiful night"
"I am lost on you, you're my life"
"Know not what's there in you"
"Look at me, I am lost"
You've done great, Payal.
Watch where you're going, mister.
- I know where I'm going... - What nonsense is this!
Mr. Gujral? This is Ashok here. Please come here immediately.
Vasu has ruined my party!
What is all this, Vasu?
I've done nothing, Mr. Gujral
It's they who started it. I've only finished it.
You ought to ask what your little Krishna has done!
You're always bothering him.
He ruined the whole party.
Nobody in the world can beat him at wrecking the dishes!
The way he flung those plates around...
the bill of the hotel must be at least 15 or 20 thousand!
That's not true, Mr. Gujral
The bill was 8,624.80 paise.
I've borrowed the money from a friend and paid it.
Thank you very much.
- But Vasu... - There's a limit to tolerance.
And what have you been tolerating?
- I'm talking to my mother. - Hear that?
I'm sure you must have been under pressure to do what you did.
Thank you, mummy. Thank you very much.
I can't stay with Mr. Gujral anymore.
Don't be silly. You can't let him offend you.
He loves nagging you.
No, mother.
Now I don't want to be a burden on you anymore.
So let me go out in the world and stand on my own two feet.
Give him what he's asking for. Please!
He wants to stand on his own two feet... so let him!
- How can you say such things? - Mr. Gujral is right, Mom.
Will you leave me and go away?
How can you too say such things, mom?
I have been brought up in your care.
I have no identity, apart from you.
You will find me close to you, whenever you wish to.
I... understand.
What is it?
The most of the black coat's pockets are empty.
But don't you worry, my boy. Real thing is...
...you have pockets. And if you have pocket it will have something.
I don't want to live in obligation. It's so disgusting, man.
It's 4 months and I haven't yet landed a case.
You don't seem to have had lunch today.
Put your hands in my pocket and take away one of the two 20 Rupee bills.
Go and eat. We'll talk later.
Forget it. I've been living off you for the last many months.
My dear, Vasudev Gujral.
God and tailors make pockets...
...so that friends can help themselves.
I'll go.
You've skipped lunch today... and I won't have dinner now.
Let's have another coffee...
...because we haven't still discussed something important.
Pour coffee.
Thank you.
Enough.
You've heard my story.
Now let me give you the footnote. It's this...
It's just that I have red blood the way others have it.
I'm not blue-blooded.
Hey, don't talk rubbish.
I never bother about family backgrounds and the likes.
What matters is the man himself. The individual.
I know many blue-blooded guys.
They stink so much that you can't spend a minute with them!
- Meaning I have a chance? - You've more than the chance.
You are a fighter, buddy.
I'm willing to seal my statement with a kiss!
Let's skip the kiss for the time being.
Because more than a kiss I need a case.
Case? Will you prefer a case over my kiss?
That kiss is already mine, right?
But I've yet to establish my right over that kiss...
Let me prove that I'm a fighter.
I need a case that would help me stand on my own two feet.
On your two feet?
I got it!
Got it? Got what?
A case is what you need. A case of the missing feet.
HI, everybody?
Grandpa!
- This is my friend, Vasudev Gujral. - Hello.
He can't speak.
And that's Mummy. She's blind.
- And this is... - I know her. Your dance teacher.
- Hi, Judie. - Hi.
Judie said that we're made for each other? Remember?
I believed that the moment you said it, Judie.
So, Judy, how's life? How's your dancing life?
Life?
Dancing life?
Sorry Judy.
But I haven't said anything offensive, have I?
The dance is out of her life.
How did this happen?
She was knocked down by a drunk truck-driver.
She lay on the road for four hours.
Then the police arrived and took her to the hospital.
When she regained consciousness, her legs had been amputated.
She even gave the police the license number of the truck.
But they were busy with other important work.
I made up my mind that the case would not end there...
...and ultimately, the police had to take the case to the court.
The defendants turned out to be influential people.
They applied pressure on the Judge...
...who declared a compensation of 20,000 Rupees on her limbs.
If you think the compensation is right, let's forget it.
But if you think it's unfair, then you must fight this case.
- Will you? - Yes, I will.
I will even win the case.
Judy!
- Is there any witness to the case? - There are two.
A prostitute and her client.
She came to my help, while her client went for the police.
When he didn't return, the woman herself informed the police.
- Did she give her testimony, too? - They were influential people.
They pressurized the Judge. How'd they allow a prostitute to testify?
No.
Judie's lawyer mustn't have known how to extract a testimony.
Judy.
Which police station was the First Information Report filed in?
- Nagpada Police Station - Nagpada.
I can certainly give you the prostitute's whereabouts, Mr. Gujral
But take my advice. Don't get involved with this case.
- Why not? - You don't know Ratnabai.
I know how powerful and influential she is.
Whatever Ratnabai may be...
...but she won't be bigger than the law, Inspector... Sawant.
- I don't no. - All right.
I shall let you know her height.
To start with, you give me her address.
The man with me was a cop. He even has children.
- He had recognized the truck-driver. - Okay.
He ran for his life. He couldn't tell his wife he was with me.
This bloody prestige too is some trouble, boss.
What is his name? Where does he live?
It's Dhaniram. He's on duty at the Yerawada Jail.
But he's a bloody miser.
Vasudev Gujral.
Please sit down.
Thank you.
Well, Mr. Gujral? What can I do for you?
I came to you in connection with a case.
- Me? - Yes. Because you're an eyewitness.
I am a eyewitness in some case in Bombay?
That's right.
Which means it is a criminal case.
That's right.
- What is the case? - Could you first tell me...
...if you know a streetwalker called Champa?
It's none of you business, Mr. Gujral.
That's right Mr. Vinayak.
...I'd have to ask the court to issue summons to you.
I don't want to do that.
Because you're to retire in few days.
And you service record is unblemished.
I've done my homework, Mr. Vinayak.
I just want information from you, and that too off the record.
Else, I'd hate to see your family life ruined.
Thank you.
Mr. Vinayak.
You had witnessed a car-accident at Grand Road recently.
Grant Road?
Try and recall. Champa was with you, then.
Was it a fault of injured woman or the driver?
- Driver. - Are you sure? - 100 percent.
The law isn't just the play of words, your honor.
It's neither a lifeless blindfolded statue, with scale in hand.
The law is the society's strength; it's very lifeline.
I say all this because, in this particular case...
...the law has not only been erred but has also insulted itself.
You are inviting contempt of court proceedings, Mr. Gujral.
Truth can never insult the court, you honor.
But I'd like to give you the true picture first.
You have yet to see the girl's state whose petition I bring before you.
She used to be a dancer...
...for whom dance was life itself and a source of livelihood too.
She used dance to fend for the family and pay for the kids' education.
It also paid for her blind mother's illness.
Also paid for the rent and power bill.
All right, you honor. To dance you need two feet.
Which now, Judy does not have anymore.
What I'm trying to tell the court is that...
...the accident did not merely result in the loss of Judie's legs.
It spelt the death knell for her entire family!
Will the compensation for the destruction of an entire family...
be just 20 thousand Rupees?
But Mr. Gujral...
I am not pleading for a compensation, Your Honour.
I have come here in search of justice.
It's only justice that can apply a balm on the wronged woman's wounds.
The law can give her a compensation only for her lost limbs.
I agree with you, Your Honour.
But the law would need to ascertain the price of her limbs.
What would a dancer's legs be worth, Your Honour?
Perhaps only a dancer can decide that.
I understand, Mr. Gujral
- I understand. - No, your honor.
You still don't understand.
The Court has not even seen Ms Judie.
I request the Court to appoint a Commission to visit Judie...
...to find out what the loss of Judie's legs means to her family.
Once the court has witnessed the gravity of the situation...
...the court may please decide on adequate compensation for her.
That's all, your honor.
What've you done, mama? You've spilled the medicine.
It still had two days' medicine.
I say, It my eyes be.
I don't even die because of the fear...
...that, from where will be the money come for my burial.
There isn't any need to throw away rupees 7.80.
- I am better a blind. - Yes, mama.
You're better being blind and I'm a lame.
And grandpa. He is fine a dumb.
But will it be all right for Tony, Johnny and Leena?
As it is their names are struck in the school.
Okay, Tony and Johnny me survive by picking pockets.
But how about Leena? What will she do, mom?
What will she do?
Should we go in your honor?
My, god.
Mr. Gujral, no one can live this life even for 10 minutes.
They'll lead a life like this for the rest of their lives.
Please, sir...
- And you? - I'll come later.
Excuse me!
Judge, sir! You?!
Have mercy on us, sir!
I know...
...we haven't paid rent for the last six months.
I'll do something and clear off the rent, sir.
Please explain to the landlord that I'm a helpless girl...
Please give me some more time, sir. Please!
Oh no... I'm not here to have you evicted.
In fact, I'm here to tell you...
...that you were given very little compensation.
You should be paid at least half a million rupees.
So you can lead a respectable life with your folks.
Can get your mother treated.
So you can give your brothers and sister a decent education.
Thank you sir. Thank you very much.
You shouldn't be thanking me.
You ought to thank your lawyer, Vasudev Gujral. Who brought me here.
- Thank you, Mr. Gujral. - Thank you, sir.
- I think, half a million would be good enough, Mr. Gujral? - Yes, sir.
- Okay? - Thank you.
Who's this two penny lawyer...
...who got slapped half a million damage-claim against us?
He's some new guy, sir.
Why didn't you buy him out?
Who could ever have known, sir...
...that he'd dig up old graves and have Judie given a compensation?
And it's heard that this boy isn't corruptible too.
If he's not saleable then spend that rascal.
To pay half a million for a cheap dancer's limbs!
Congratulations!
Today, once again you're Ravi Yadav from being no.212.
You are getting your identity back.
After 12 years I'm hearing my name, Ravi Yadav, sir.
It'll take some time to believe that it is indeed my name.
But don't take long time for it.
Try to forget this as soon as possible, Ravi Yadav...
..that all these years you were merely a number 212.
Now what do you intend to do now?
I have to search my Rohan.
As you know, I have no one but him.
And you have tried your best to find him, too.
True. We could find neither the mistress nor your brother.
But it's strange...
...that how could two people have suddenly vanish.
Now I'm back as Ravi Yadav, sir. I will find them.
Oh, Vasu, you are really great.
You've given Judie and her family a new lease of life.
And for that I must thank you.
Just thanking me won't do!
I can't do anything but thank you, can I?
- You can. - How?
- Paste it on my lips. - Oh, come on, man.
I knew you would surely back out!
But what did I promise?
You said that you felt like kissing me.
I said, give me a case and I will return it as kiss.
And now that I have won the case...
So, now I'll not give a kiss but take a kiss.
- Understand? - Hey, is kiss a loose change...
...that you just put hand in the pocket and handover?
Besides, I'm not crazy to go around offering kisses!
You must've been dreaming, Mr. Vasudev Gujral.
You're a lawyer who's always talks about proofs and witnesses!
Have you any proof that I had made such a promise to you?
- Any eyewitnesses? - There are, Your Honour.
But they're all dumb, can't speak.
Actually, there are 4 such witnesses! Four.
And they're all dumb!? Who are they?
Our ears... who heard you promise the kiss.
I refuse to accept such witnesses!
You, deceiver! You, cheat!

- Speak up! - I'll tell you!
- Your master had paid me to eliminate you. - Why?
He suspected that you have affair with his wife.
His wife?! But I always revered her like a Goddess!
It happens when a man becomes successful.
Your master suspected you and that was it.
Tell me the whole story!
I'll explain. Everything.
You are blackmailing me! You ingrate!
I don't even know English, sir.
This is the third time you've asked me for money.
And you always bring up that bastard's name!
Master, money is like dirt in your fingernails.
And you have no dearth of this dirt.
God bless your wife! You can always encash her.
Think of the things I've done for you.
I separated Ravi Yadav from your wife, for twelve long years!
First I had to rape Paro, for your sake.
Then after killing her...
...had to implicate Ravi Yadav for her rape and murder.
What is a few thousand rupees for my services?
Let me have 20 thousand now. I won't ask you for more again.
Just you remember! You won't get a penny more!
Don't shout! If you won't pay up, I would take it from your wife.
Scoundrel! You have raped that poor girl!
You even killed her and implicated Ravi for the crime!
Why are you so worried about Ravi?
Shut up! I'll deal with you after returning from the police station.
You come to the police station with me and confess...
...that, Ravi Yadav had no connection with that rape.
If I speak the truth, your husband will land in trouble, too.
Get moving... or I'll shoot! Come and tell the truth.
No matter who is caught in the flame of truth.
And you're just a pawn, Jaggu. Your master is the real villain.
He should be punished. Now move!
After the accident, madam survived.
She's said to be living with her old servant, Vishnu.
- Where's Manohar Singh? - He went to Bombay with his child.
For the fear of police.
This way, please.
Madam...
You have no idea how happy I am to see you alive, madam!
It's me, madam. Ravi... Ravi Yadav.
I've just been released from prison.
I've... I've never seen you before.
I used to be a servant in your house, madam.
You used to go horse-riding with me.
And my kid-brother, Rohan... used to laugh seeing you ride.
My little Rohan... your Tumpa's friend.
Where's Tumpa? And where's my brother?
Who's Tumpa? Who's Rohan?
I've never known any Tumpa or Rohan.
Please don't say that, madam!
Try and remember it, for God's sake!
You had promised to look after Rohan till I was released from prison.
Where's my brother Rohan? Remember. Tell me, madam!
The local physician did his best. But he could not cure her amnesia.
Take her to the city and consult a proper doctor.
Don't worry. She will be fine. Yeah, it may take some time.
You will have to try and revive her memory...
For instance, talk of her favorite food. Or a hobby or passion.
Bring her to me again.
And I will decide what course her treatment should take.
- Anything else? - Your fees...? - 200 bucks.
Let's go, madam.
- Thank you, Doctor. - You're welcome.
Here, keep the bag! The cops are after me!
C'mon! Hurry up!
- Thank you. - Get down.
My name is Joseph Lobo. What's yours?
I don't tell my name to the likes of you.
You can call me 212.
- 212?! - Yeah. - Okay, 212, tell me.
Why did you save me, when you can't tell me your name?
I'm straightforward man. And you're carrying contraband.
I see! So you saved the bag. Not me!
You are a smart man and useful, too.
I know what you will say. There's always a price tag.
Here, take this.
Keep your dirty bag to yourself.
And cough up my fees for saving your life... 10,000 Rupees.
Only 10,000? My life is worth much more, 212.
Just give me the 10 grand... I'm getting late.
Do you know how much dough is in this bag?
8 million in diamonds... and a million in cash.
Will you still ask only for 10 grand?
You're a chatterbox.
Just give me 10 thousand and get the hell out of here.
Strange man!
Work with me for a few days... I'll make you millionaire.
I don't work for tainted people like you.
But what do I do, should I need your help?
I'll find you, when I need you.
I don't understand you.
Don't even try.
212? What sort of a name is that?
That's what he says. And why must we bother with name?
We're concerned with his work. And he could be useful to us.
You're right. Pay him any price he asks for. But get him to join us.
That's just what he doesn't agree to, sir.
I tried to reason with him. But he insisted...
...that he'd come himself, if he needed our help.
- He didn't even give me his address. - A strange man!
He could have asked for a hundred or two hundred thousand.
But he settled for Just 10,000!
I wish he'd need something soon and he'd come calling.
Now, there's a useful man.
But he'll never work for us, Ratnabai.
How would you know of my attractions!
I could draw them like the magnet!
Don't talk nonsense, Ratna. You're a spent force...
...like spent ammunition.
Leave that 212 fellow to me.
Come along, kids!
Here you are... be patient! I have books for everyone!
One for each.
Yes, here. Take it.
I got it for everyone. Here, take it.
I'm Vidya. I'm a teacher in this school.
I know that. And I'm Ravi.
Why do you distribute these books to children?
I couldn't be an educated man myself.
So, whenever I get my hands on some money, I spend it on the kids.
It gives me a lot of peace.
- Where do you live? - In that house, opposite.
We've moved here only recently.
I'd be grateful to you, if you could...
...drop in at my place after school this evening.
I'll certainly be there.
Well, madam? You haven't eaten as yet.
I covered the plate because you were asleep.
I had seen it.
Then why didn't you eat it?
How could I have eaten alone?
Have you eaten?
Well, well! What do I to tell you about the folks in these slums!
They gave me so much for breakfast...
...that If I even speak more, the breakfast would come out.
Here you are... I've made the yogurt-curry for you today.
Rohan used to love yogurt-curry... remember?
I wonder where he is.
Here, please eat.
Okay.
How are you related to me...
...that you're caring so much for me?
Although I'm no one related.
Yet, I have no one in the world except you.
And you don't even remember me.
I'm Ravi, madam... Remember?
You used to go horse-riding...
...and I used to look after you horses, tractors and the farmhouse.
I'm the very same Ravi.
I used to have a kid-brother... Rohan.
You used to adore him.
You had even promised me that you would look after him.
Remember? You had come to meet me.
Where were I used to meet you...
Never mind. Glass items keep breaking.
Why do you keep calling me "madam"?
Because you have been my employer.
Ok, what else am I?
I mean, I must have been related to others, too.
Of course.
You had such a big house, I can't describe.
You used with your husband, both all alone...
...and Tumpa stayed at the hostel.
Who's Tumpa?
- Greetings. - I came to thank you for the books.
Please sit down.
And yes...
This is just the kind of book...
BAT, Bat. CAT, Cat. RAT, Rat...
...which you used to teach me.
And you had me write "rat" a hundred times.
Being annoyed you had said...
"You are a Rat".
- Excuse me! - Excuse me. Excuse me...
...and "pardon me" is what you used to say!
You said, if one were to interrupt a conversation...
...one always began with "excuse me" or "pardon me".
There's a difference between talking and farming.
I have a splitting headache!
Stop bothering me!
I myself want to recall everything.
But I can't... so what do I do?!
All right, you better rest. I won't bother you anymore.
Please sit. I'll go and get you some tea.
Never mind the tea. I must go home now.
It's raining heavily. How will you go home?
What about rain, who knows when it'll stop.
I'll drop you home.
Let's go.
- May I ask you something? - Sure. Go ahead.
Who's that lady, whom you addressed as "madam"?
She used to be my employer.
I used to be inconsequential servant in her big house.
- I had a kid brother. - Where is he?
He's hidden in one those lanes of the lady's lost memories.
And how about her?
There's a silence of 12 years between the lady and me.
Neither she has anyone nor do I.
I remember everything. And she remembers nothing.
With her memories my brother too is lost.
When she recalls everything, I'll find my brother too.
And why is this 12 years' silence?
- I was in prison. - Jail?
The eyewitness insisted...
...that I raped a girl and killed her.
Judge did not believe me.
I had neither evidence nor an eyewitness to prove my innocence.
If you feel like, you can believe the judge.
Or believe me, if you wish.
I won't believe the Judge.
At last! There is someone else to believe in my innocence.
The lady was the first and you're the second.
That's enough to spend a lifetime.
Smile.
Smile a bit more.
Broader!
Are you clicking my picture or my denture?
That's enough. Let's go and sit somewhere.
- Come on. - Let's go.
Vasu, do you love me?
What sort of a question is that?
- Tell me! - Yes, I do.
I love you more than my own life.
But why do you love me?
Because you're the ugliest girl in the world!
- What?! - Yeah.
Just take the opposite of whatever I say.
I wouldn't even look at another girl.
- Really? - Of course.
What are you looking at?
Those guys there are watching the most beautiful girl in India.
The one who's chosen Miss India.
Don't tell me!
Really!
I'll be back in a moment!
What joke is this, Payal.
Why, just not you said you won't look at any girl?
And ran to look at Miss India the moment you heard it.
You boys are all alike! I wouldn't even look at your.
Good bye, Mr. Gujral.
Payal...
This is what wrong with you girls. You go off the handle for nothing.
Okay, please forgive me.
I won't look at another girl ever again.
Even if she resembles is a monkey!
What happened, why have you covered your eyes?
A girl was passing by, that's why.
Well, all right. Don't pull these stunts.
Now tell me something. If after marriage...
...suppose I get angry for some reason, will you forgive me?
Of course. I am ready to for anything.
- What insolence is this?! - There you are!
Just now you said you'd forgive all my mistakes?
That was for after marriage. No before.
Ok. Suppose I broke something valuable of yours then?
- I'd forgive you. - Would you?
Sure?
This is... gone.
How could you do that! Dad had gifted it to me!
Right now you said, you'd forgive me if I broke something valuable
And you've now started crying?
- Very well. - Where are you going?
Would you mind, if I drank beer from this bottle?
Otherwise I don't drink normally.
Why would I mind? Have two instead of one.
This is how we ought to be! We must forgive each other!
That's what love is all about!
- Very good. - Go ahead. Drink.
Go on... gulp it down!
I could do anything for you. Because I love you.
You're so sweet.
Would you do anything for me?
- Anything, darling! - If I ask you to jump in water...
...you would jump?
I'd even lay down my life for you!
Where am I? And what happened?
We are at a guest house.
And I can't bring myself about to tell you of what happened.
Tell me about it... please.
You shouldn't have had that beer.
You got drunk.
I picked you up from the swimming pool.
You insisted that there be no barriers between us.
I thought you were right.
And you started stripping.
I tried to reason with you; I told you that it was your dress!
Shut up! I don't want to listen to anything!
And then?
Then you started taking off my clothes.
Shut up!
Tell me the truth... what happened?
We did what we should have done after the wedding.
I suggest we go to a temple and get married immediately.
No, Vasu... I've fallen in my own esteem.
I'd rather die... I can't bear this shame!
I'd rather kill myself!
Payal!
I was only joking!
Why would any man raid his own home?
Such a cheap joke! I don't want to see your face ever again!
Oh, god!

Wonderful, Your Honour!
It means, that their prime witness...
..they are trying to locate the only witness they have.
But I'd say that this witness won't be located at all.
Simply because the rape did not occur at all!
These fabricated charges are only an attempt to defame Mr. Dhiren!
As for the virtuous lady they are talking about...
...many must be having her address.
I submit, Your Honor!
Unless the girl is presented in this court...
...I am not willing to concede that the rape took place!
I appeal to you to dismiss the case!
This court gives the State another 10 days.
If the girl is not presented in court at the next hearing...
...I will dismiss this case.
Fantastic, sir.
This is how you win cases, you know.
Your girlfriend's pictures are fine, no doubt.
But your camera has also recorded a murder.
What do you mean?
There's a man in this snap, who's strangling a girl.
And here he is... dumping the body in his car.
Hey, he is Dhiren Thakur!
Mr. Gujral was defending him in court, the other day!
- Which means, he's a... - You're right.
Vasu?! What a surprise? What brings you here today?
Without you I feel very lonely.
But I do stay in your heart, right?
Mom, come sit down.
Here are some photographs. Give them to Mr. Gujral...
And ask him not to accept briefs from scoundrels like Dhiren Thakur.
What's all this about?
He'll get to know the truth, when he sees those photographs.
Stop lying! And see this photographs!
As for me, I'm no saint. But I don't accept such false cases.
But since I've been your lawyer, I will give you some free advice.
You must confess to your crime. And speak the truth, for a change.
You might be lucky to get away with a life sentence, instead of a noose!
I give you 24 hours.
If you don't confess by then, I'll personally deliver this to the police.
Got it!
You have awakened me today, Mr. Gujral!
I'm not even fit to be called a human-being!
I'm a beast... I ought to be hanged!
You mustn't give me 24 hours! Take me to the police station immediately!
I'll go there and confess to my crime.
The beast in me might once again awaken in 24 hours...
...and might make me go astray again!
I beg of you! Take me to the police station immediately!
And have the confession recorded in your presence!
I'll remember your favour for all times to come!
Mr. Gujral, please take me there.
Very well. I'll take you there.
I'd also like to thank the man who gave you these photographs.
Who's the angel?
Vasudev!
- Hello! - Hello, Mrs. Gujral.
This is Dhiren Thakur here.
Your husband is now in my custody.
There are some photographs of mine in the possession of your darling son.
If you want your husband's wellbeing...
...send the negatives of the snaps to Mukesh Mills with your son.
Do you understand? And there's something else.
Don't do something foolish like informing the police.
I might be imprisoned. Or I might even be hanged.
But all you will get is your husband's dead body!
London, Paris, Rome... we're going to all these places after our wedding.
- See this hotel here? - You have lice in your hair.
Kill it.
We will stay at this hotel. As for this bed...
...we'll have our honeymoon here.
Take the call.
- Give way. - Get me up.
- Hello! - Hello, Vasu!
Mom? How are you, mom?
Mr. Gujral has been kidnapped.
His life is in danger.
Come here immediately.
Come on, Payal.
Is Mr. Gujral kidnapped?!
- Yes. - What for?
They have threatened me that if we don't hand over all the prints...
...and the negatives to them, they will kill him.
Don't cry, Mom. It's no joke to kill someone.
Of course, it is!
Don't cry, Mom. I promise to bring Mr. Gujral back to you.
And when a son promises his mothers, he fulfills it.
- Or he dies trying to fulfill it. - No!
Let's go, Payal.
If Vasu does not turn up in the next 5 minutes...
Else, what would happen?
Have you brought the negatives?
- What's this? - Paper. Wipe your face with it!
Vasu!
- Yashoda. - Doctor has asked you to rest.
May you have a long life.
I can't ever forget what you've done for me.
But this was my duty, Mom.
Mr. Gujral is fine now. I must leave.
Whoever told you that Mr. Gujral is fine?
Mr. Gujral is dead, son.
Who you see is your daddy.
You're not used to that word, Mr. Gujral.
I've always pined to call you Daddy.
But you never let me say it.
I got a mother's love... but I was denied your protection.
I got used to living a life of deprival.
Even if I want to call you Daddy now...
...I wonder if I will ever be able to do it.
Try saying it, son.
Yes... think your father was away someplace.
And that he has just returned.
I've been dying to hear that word.
Okay... This is just what this self-centered old man deserves.
Punish me, as you wish!
Daddy!
Why are you crying now?
Till now you were a incomplete son of an incomplete family.
You had mother but had no father.
Today you've found him too.
No. I am still incomplete.
I have found you but I haven't found my brother yet.
You will surely find him, son!
Just as you've found your Daddy, you will find your brother, too.
Our family will then be complete.
So stop crying, okay?
Ok, tell me. Who is this beautiful girl?
She is Payal.
I see! It means...
Isn't that right?
My in accident has turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
I found my son... and a daughter-in-law, too.
The moment I get out of here, I'll talk to your father.
Instant engagement and marriage.
Vasu, tell me something.
What is it about me that appealed to you?
To be honest, you have nothing that appeals to me.
I wonder why I gave my heart to you.
In that case, I won't even see your face again!
Now wait... on second thoughts, there are things that appeal to me.
- What are they? - Your long hair, for example.
- What else? - Your fair skin.
- And? - Your eyes. I can drown in them.
- What else? - These rosy lips.
You haven't said a word about my nose!
That ugly, long nose of yours!
You're asking for it, Vasu!
- Well, okay. This slender neck... - And?
- And those two big ones of yours! - Aren't you ashamed to say that!
You have a rotten mind, Payal!
I was talking about your two big hands, in which...
...you are wearing bracelets.
What else did you imagine?
"Listen my love, listen"
"Tell me, my love"
"Listen my love, listen"
"Tell me, my love"
"Listen my, love, listen, what's on wrists"
"Bracelet"
"Then come to my parlor"
"Listen my, love, listen, what's on wrists"
"Bracelet"
"Then come to my parlor"
Listen, my darling, listen, what's in your parlor"
"A harness"
"Your love has harnessed me"
Listen, my darling, listen, what's in your parlor"
"A harness"
"Your love has harnessed me"
"Listen my love, listen, what's in my embroidery"
"Rose buds"
"Then come to my alley"
"Listen my love, listen, what's in my embroidery"
"Rose buds"
"Then come to my alley"
Listen my darling, listen, what's there in alley"
"Friends"
"Don't you wink at me"
Listen my darling, listen, what's there in alley"
"Friends"
"Don't you wink at me"
Listen, my love, listen, what do my friends play"
"Colorful Holi"
"Then when'll you come to wed"
Listen, my love, listen, what do friends play"
"Colorful Holi" (Festival of colors}
"Then when'll you come to wed"
"Listen my darling, listen, what does a wedding need"
"Handsome groom"
"Then you be my bride"
"Listen my darling, listen, what does a wedding need"
"Handsome groom"
"Then you be my bride"
"Listen my love, listen, how does bride look"
"A doll"
"I'm a package of your love"
"Listen my love, listen, how does bride look"
"A doll"
"I'm a package of your love"
"Listen my darling, listen, what's there in a doll"
"A Pumpkin"
"Then my heart isn't mine"
"Listen my darling, listen, what's there in a doll"
"A Pumpkin"
"Then my heart isn't mine"
"Listen my, love, listen, what's on wrists"
"Bracelet"
"Then come to my alley"
"Listen my, love, listen, what's on wrists"
"Bracelet"
"Then come to my alley"
Shaking your head won't do, Papa. You'll have to shake hands.
Because he's my best friend. Vasu Gujral.
His practice at law has kicked up a storm in the city.
It hasn't kicked up any storm, sir.
You must know how Payal is given to exaggerations.
Not at all! I always speak the truth.
Let me give you an example of one of his cases, Papa.
Vasu wouldn't be able to handle my legal suits, dear.
Since she has praised you so much, I will certainly give you a case.
Thank you, sir.
But I don't accept cases given to me out of sympathy.
You're a sharp boy.
A lawyer is like the razor of the law. Shouldn't one be sharp then?
How will the Law uproot evil?
Very well. I'd like to see your abilities some day.
Your daddy hasn't arrived?
- Mr. Singh... they call me Gujral. - Hello.
Have a chat with Mr. Gujral, papa.
I'll show Vasu around.
C'mon, Vasu.
Sure. What's adults doing around children.
What say, Mr. Singh?
I don't know, what are we going to discuss about.
Why don't you leave? Go on.
- Why are you standing? Sit down. - Because didn't ask me.
I am sorry, please sit.
Yes?
I find the kids pretty serious. What do you think?
This generation does not know to be serious, Mr. Gujral.
That is not the seriousness I am alluding to.
Then what are you talking about?
I am a man of few words. Even in court I always speak to the point.
My son will be a bigger and better lawyer than I am.
The press is simply crazy about him.
They publish a write-up on him almost everyday.
Have you heard of the Ratnabai Transport compensation case?
It was my son who fought and won it.
He got the bastards to cough up the compensation.
So... this is the same Vasu Gujral, is he?
Hundred percent.
He even rescued me from an attack launched by a political leader.
Never mind all that.
Vasu is actually not my own son.
My wife had a friend in Jagdishpur.
It is there that she met Vasu. His brother was a servant there.
He was sentenced in a rape and murder case.
And this poor chap was all alone; a poor, helpless orphan.
My wife adopted him, out of pity.
What I mean to say is that he is not my flesh and blood.
But we do share the same blood group.
I wouldn't have loved him more, even if he were my own son.
Nobody cares for blood relations anymore.
Parents must only wish for their children's welfare.
In that case, may I ask the priest to fix an auspicious date?
It's okay, as far as I'm concerned. But let me consult the family priest.
- Give me a couple of days. - Sure.
Not even the computers work without priest's say so here.
How could we avoid that?
Don't be so angry.
How can I not be angry? That rogue wants to marry my daughter!
Now whom are you angry with?
Why don't you seduce him with your charms, Ratna?
Why must he meet such people in the first place?
- Who are you talking about? - The duo who have just left.
Now if you go pally with my enemies. That's not a good sign.
It's those very bastards I'm still fuming at!
What cheek the boy has!
He wants to marry my daughter!
He has lived on the crumbs I threw! And he wants to marry my daughter!
He was responsible for Judie being compensated with half a million.
I suggest you have them bumped off.
You're putting on a lot of flab! It's time you got down to work!
Can't you kill a couple of guys?
Matter could go worst if if one of our men kills them.
Because he has already come with the alliance proposal.
We need someone whom we can trust. And who can't be traced to us.
What do you think of 212?
You have hit the bulls eye, Ratna.
Who's this 212 chap?
I don't know either. But he's amazing.
She'll alright about in 3 months.
But you've to admit her.
And treatment will be very costly.
Don't talk about expenses, Doctor.
Just tell me whether she'll be all right.
I shall manage money somehow.
You're very fortunate, Mr. Ravi.
My teacher, Dr. Arnold Robertson is about arrive from London.
And I tell you. He is a magician.
He unravels the mind like an expert thief...
...opens the safe lock.
That's wonderful! How much will it cost?
Let me think.
It will cost around a hundred thousand rupees.
- A hundred thousand? - It could even be more.
But I'll try and restrict it to a hundred thousand.
Very well then. I'll raise the money.
Let's go, madam.
I need the money, but not from murdering somebody.
I knew you'd say that.
But this isn't a murder, 212. It's justice.
Listen to the whole story first. And turn me down, if you wish.
- What's the story? - Come on in.
- C'mon. - Ratna!
Ratna!
Oh, god! Ratna!
- What are you up to?! - Wait there!
If you come closer, I'll jump to death!
No, Ratna... Don't do that, my dear sister.
No... I'm not your dear sister!
Had you been my brother,...
...would you have allowed a gang-rape of my poor daughter?
Having raped and murdered my daughter, you've come to me!
Scoundrel! I won't spare you!
Leave him alone, Ratna! Stop it!
No, no, no!
He isn't the killer of our Neelam.
This is the man who will avenge her death.
What?
You will kill him, won't you?
You will kill the fiend who raped my daughter?
I couldn't as much as recognise her body.
That is how the bastards had disfigured her!
I dream of my daughter everyday.
She screams that the bastard is still alive!
That he won't spare me, too!
She calls me to herself...
...luring me with peace and happiness.
Yes, my dear! I'm coming to you...
Ratna! Don't, Ratna!
See? He's the bastard for whose murder I was paying you the money.
It was he who raped her daughter and killed her.
It's okay, if you still can't commit the murder.
Who is that beast?
His name is Vasudev Gujral.
Vasudev Gujral.
Rohan! You're living in the city as Vasudev Gujral.
And I am looking for my brother, all over?
Look at me, at my fate.
It's you, I was looking for. And it's you, I've come to kill.
Forgive me, Rohan... do forgive me.
Now I won't live even in this city.
I don't want anyone to know...
...that you're the brother of a convicted murderer.
You'd rather remain Vasudev Gujral, Rohan.
You better be Vasudev Gujral.
- What's happening here? - Where's Vasu?
Why is it dark so dark?
Someone has switched off the mains!
Vasu!
Vasu! Hold on, son! Don't hit him anymore!
He's not defending himself... it'll spoil the case.
He appears to be Dhiren Thakur's man.
He's very cunning He's sent him well prepared!
Immediately hand him over to the police!
I'll have you sent away for at least 10 years!
Why have you reduced the term by two years, Mr. Lawyer?
Where have I... seen this man?
Please, Yashoda!
No. I'm speaking the truth.
I've seen this man before.
Ms. Renuka!
Your Ravi has been arrested again!
My Ravi?
But I have no one.
I'm talking about the Ravi who has been looking after you!
He has been charged with attempted murder.
Can your Ravi murder anybody?
But... who's Ravi, anyway?
Please the trachea of your memory!
At least make the attempt to open the blindfold on your past!
I'm leaving to arrange for his bail.
But for God's sake... try and find the missing links of your life!
It is a matter of life for many lives.
Who could Ravi be?
"Let your world be full of happiness"
"Let your love thrive"
"Let your world be full of happiness"
"Let your love thrive"
"In this place of dreams"
"I had come once, just remember"
"In this place of dreams"
"I had come once, just remember"
"Come my horse, keep trotting"
Ravi! Ravi!
Why do I find his face so familiar?
Oh, come on, mom.
Bombay's a big city. You must have seen him somewhere.
I am not talking about just having seen him.
I can't remember clearly. I don't know where I've seen him.
Sit down here and try to remember. I'm leaving.
- Thank God, I've met you. - What is it, Vidya?
Please sit down and explain it to her. I'm in a hurry.
It's you I have work with.
In that case, you can accompany me and explain it on the way.
- Where are you going? - To the Worli Police Station.
Good! I wanted to take you there, too.
I want to arrange bail for an innocent man.
So what are we waiting for? Let's go.
- Bye, mom! - Bye.
Welcome, Mr. Gujral.
- How're you? - Renuka-ji, what're you doing here?
Mr. Gujral.
She's here to bail out the criminal you got arrested.
I've reasoned with her that he's a criminal; a regular jailbird.
- A jailbird? - Exactly.
And he hasn't spent a day or two in prison... but 12 years.
Just because he has spent a term in prison...
...doesn't make him guilty necessarily.
All you need to implicate someone is a few false witnesses.
But you don't know this man whom you call a criminal.
Neither did the Judge, who sentenced him to a 12-year term.
He was innocent even when he was sentenced.
And he's innocent even now.
Well... here's your innocent man.
- Ravi... - Madam? You?
Don't worry.
You were wronged once, despite my being present...
...and I could do anything.
But I will not let injustice be meted out to you again!
You seem to have recovered, madam!
That's right. And God has cured me only for you.
If I weren't well, who'd tell you of the possession you left in my care?
You're okay now, madam... I can always ask. What's the hurry?
And I swear, I never thought that you'd take care of my possession.
Even when you had forgotten everything...
...I knew you must have safely entrusted my possession somewhere.
- But, you know... - You need not say anything, madam.
If I don't say anything...
...how will they believe your innocence?
All right, you tell me.
Is it a crime to love one's younger brother?
It's not, isn't it? But he has paid for that very crime.
Do you want to send him away to prison once again?
But this crime I've committed! I did attack him!
- I must be punished for it! - But you don't even know me.
When we're neither friends nor foe, why did you mortal attacked me?
Let that all be, brother. I attacked you, didn't I?
You do this. Get me hanged not imprisoned.
How can they hang you like that? And stop talking nonsense!
It seems as if you don't want to know about your brother who...
Brother?
That's right... now tell me. How can I remain silent?
Only I know his brother's whereabouts.
Don't listen to me, if you don't wish to. But I will speak.
- But, madam... - Don't interrupt me.
You remember my friend, Mrs. Yashoda Gujral, don't you?
Mrs. Yashoda Gujral!
I had entrusted Rohan to her.
She must have brought him up like her own son.
He must have grown so much by now that...
...if he were opposite us, either you nor me would recognize him
I'm sure, Yashoda must have educated him to be a lawyer.
Because I'd told her that you wanted to make Rohan a lawyer.
Mr. Rohan Yadav. I forget.
I've rechristened the little Krishna. I call him Vasudev Gujral, Renuka.
Mom!
I'm indeed your mother. But this man you're remanding to police custody...
He's my brother!
Are you... are you Rohan?!
Not me... you must touch your brother's feet instead.
The feet that bore every hardship for 12 long years.
No! These both ladies are lying.
I'm not that Ravi Yadav!
Had I been Ravi Yadav, would I've taken contract on younger brother?
Don't lie, brother!
These are the hands that you always kissed!
I raised these same hands on you.
I'd rather cut these hands and throw them away!
No...! Who the hell are you to cut my Rohan's hands?
Mr. Vasudev Gujral, do you think my brother's hands are orphans?
So let me touch your feet, brother!
Brothers rather embrace.
No, Rohan... stop crying.
Aren't you crying too, brother?
I cry out of shame!
I lived for my brother! And I sold myself to kill that very brother!
But I didn't know then that you are my brother.
It was necessary for ma'am to get well.
Because only she knew of your whereabouts.
And she had lost her memory.
I couldn't have found my brother without her memory being restored.
And I landed this contract...
...where I'd get a hundred thousand to kill Vasudev Gujral.
For the sake of my madam's treatment.
- So what could I do? - I understand, brother.
No, you don't! Just think about it!
Had not I recognised you yesterday, what tragedy it would have been.
I'd have killed you and got a hundred thousand Rupees...
...and would have got ma'am treated.
And she'd have told me that the man I killed for her cure...
...was my kid brother!
Brother, if you had recognized me, why didn't you tell me?
What could I tell you?
That you're not Vasudev Gujral, but Rohan Yadav?
That you're Ravi Yadav's brother?
A man who has just spent a prison term of 12 years?
What would that do to your status, my boy?
It means, if madam had not informed...
...you'd have walked out of my life quietly like that?
Do you know how much I have tried to locate you?
But I couldn't find you in the huge pile of government files.
You were better off without finding me.
They're going to call you a jailbird's brother!
You have assumed greatness, having served the sentence.
Let me at least be your brother and a proper human being.
No one but God could have played such a perfect game.
Everybody has finally come together! And that too, in a police station!
We have yet to find Vasu's Payal, sir.
She would be found soon. She should be here any moment.
- She's one in a millions! - Don't value her in numbers.
He has a point, Mrs. Gujral.
She's beyond any valuation.
Where the counting stops, from there her boundary begins.
Hi, everybody!
There you are, Ravi... Seek his blessings, Payal.
He's my brother.
Have a long life and be always happy.
Before you seek my blessings, you must get blessing from madam.
There is an amendment. You do touch her feet.
But not as madam, like your "mother".
It's true. Renuka is Ravi's employer... and your mother, too.
My mother?
Mom...
Pushpa, my child!
There's nothing to be surprised.
The day I went to Manohar Singh's house to discuss your marriage...
I told Yashoda. And the name Manohar Singh rang a bell in her mind.
The problem was only this that she thought Renuka is dead.
Thanks to Worli Police Station, this also got clarified.
The one who is alive, he is alive, isn't it?
He spared no effort in trying to kill his wife.
And in according to him madam was really dead.
But the ones whom the Lord protects, no one can kill.
And those whom the Lord destroys, no one can save!
- I will not spare him... - No, mom.
This fight is between me and daddy.
I should live all life under the false notion, that my mom is dead?
Daddy kept lying to me such a big lie.
Now I'll make him speak the truth. The bitter truth.
Don't underestimate him, Mr. Singh.
He can even be a thorn in the flesh.
Come on.
I'm not under political pressures. I know how to deal with thorns.
Welcome, dear... I've been waiting for you.
- Where have you been? - Excuse me, uncle.
Let me ask my father... where my mother has gone.
Your Mummy? She died in an accident several years ago.
What reminds you of her so suddenly?
Because I have just met her.
I wonder whom you've met. Your mother...
How much will you lie, Papa?
It's true that you tried to kill her. It's also true that she has survived!
Somebody has been poisoning your ears.
Skip the act, Papa. I've met every character of this sordid drama.
You ruined an innocent man's life who rotted in prison for 12 years.
- Who's that man? - Ravi Yadav.
He had that poor man implicated in a rape and murder case.
Shame on you, papa.
Your move only uprooted Rohan's life!
He was fortunate to find a foster mother like Mrs. Gujral.
How will you ever repay my mother, Ravi and Rohan?
How will you? You're no human being!
If you are capable of ruining Ravi's life...
...if you are capable of conspiring to kill my mother...
...you're capable of killing your own daughter, should she be an obstacle!
What is she saying? If it is true, it is really shameful.
Your daughter must give you this bitter truth in the face.
That is your punishment!
Answer me, Papa.
- Now look, dear... - Don't make excuses, Manohar Singh.
You must atone for your sins, if you are still human.
Call Vasu and ask him to record your confessions.
Call Vasu here immediately.
Will Papa really confess?
Why not? Why don't you ask her to call Vasu here?
Call him over, dear.
Is that Vasu? Come here immediately.
My father wants you to record his confession.
Papa! What are you doing?!
Papa!
Open the door, Papa!
Welcome, Vasudev!
There's no Arjun here, Vasu.
Whom will you give a discourse on the Bhagvad Gita?
- I still welcome you. - Where is Payal, Mr. Singh?
You seem to have forgotten your manners.
Your brother was a slave to me! And you dare question me!
And you don't even call me "sir"!
You even dream of marrying my daughter.
Dogs can't ever aspire to mate with deer!
You're not just a dog... you're a mad one!
Before you can bite me or anyone else...
...it's the duty of every citizen to kill you!
There! Out of steam, aren't you?
But I don't want to kill just you alone.
I want to torture you before you die!
Let every moment you spend remind you of the horrors of death!
This reminds me of a couplet.
You're robbed of all dignity, when you're killed.
I want you to die a slow death.
I want every ounce of life to be drained out of you!
Well, then? Where do you want Mr. Singh to shoot you first?
Would your head be all right?
So... you are here, too!
I had to kill you... So I had to be here!
I have many scores to settle with you, Manohar Singh!
You tried to kill your wife!
It's because of you that she was homeless and ill!
It was because of you that she lived in anonymity!
It's because of you that I've spent 12 years in jail!
It was because of you that I accepted a contract to kill my brother!
You live just once... and die once, too.
How will you settle so many scores?
Look at them! You owe something to each of them!
Let me give you a legal advise without any fees whatsoever.
You can take it, if you wish.
You have hurt each of us, sometime or the other.
So you are a culprit to each of us, Mr. Singh!
Now give the law a chance and surrender.
You want me to surrender? You've turned out to be a fool, Gujral!
You don't seem to have had a very good practice.
What makes you think I'm all alone, when there are so many with me?
These are not the only people I have, Mr. Gujral.
I have scores of them.
I am a law unto myself!
And you are being punished with death!
Let go of me, Papa!
Who's going to save you now, Renuka?
I will save her, Manohar Singh!
Leave me.
Brother!
Now who will save you?
No, madam... Please don't open fire!
Don't try to save him! He's a snake who can bite us!
It would be best for him to die!
But he's your husband!
Which is exactly why I want to kill him myself!
I would consider it an insult to even be called his widow!
But that's far less than being called his wife!
Here is this man!
He took the vows and promised to look after and protect me!
- But he... - That's okay, madam...
...but you're a woman. And a woman is magnanimous.
It's women who give birth to life... nurture it and protect it.
If women gave up protecting lives...
...the human race would have no future.
Let that man live, madam!
Life would be his punishment!
Every moment for him will be worse than death!
This is a time for meeting your loved ones, madam.
Don't spoil this moment with his dirty blood... please don't!
- Ravi! - Constable! Arrest them!
Come on.
- I'll call the doctor! - No... please don't!
I have my healer here...
Rohan is my doctor... and Payal is my balm.
You make a great couple.
Vidya!
Mr. Gujral has his wife.
The boss's wife has her memories to live on.
But you have been left all alone.
In my race against time, I couldn't even tell you...
...that I have always wanted to marry you.
I promise. I will take birth again, so that I can marry you.
Please don't leave me, brother!
I'm not leaving you, Rohan.
You are my life itself!
I shall always keep a watch on your well-being.
I shall keep a watch over your comforts.
I'm only going away to thank my Creator.
I will return...
...as the child you and Payal beget.
To seek the lady's blessings.
Don't cry... you look good when you smile.
God has never granted me a visitation.
But I'll know it, when I meet Him. He has to be just like you.
I haven't seen God either.
Perhaps I will see Him... if I close my eyes.
Brother!
