(Door creaks)

The testimonial evidence and witnesses have proved that..

..the deceased Ramesh and his wife Asha were murdered..

..by the accused Ajay, himself.

But since the accused was mentally ill, when the murders took place.

This court sentences Ajay Varma to 7 years of imprisonment.

And orders his removal to a mental asylum for his psychic disorder.

Send patient number 21.

I'm glad that the law gave him a reprieve.

He has suffered enough during the 3 year stay in this asylum.

I'm relieved.

He won't be held prisoner again after his captivity here.

We can take him home now, can't we?

Of course! Why not?

He's perfectly all right.

But you'd have to be careful about one thing.

It wouldn't be good for him to idle away his time without work.

An idle mind is the devil's workshop, as they say.

It's possible that he might be confronted by his ugly past.

That wouldn't be a good thing to happen.

You need not worry, doctor. I've made all arrangements.

I'll put him to work, the moment he's discharged.

Good, very good.

(Door knocks)

Yes.

Hello! Come in, Ajay.

How are you?

Ajay, you're all right, aren't you?

(Phone rings)

Hello! Greetings, sir!

I was about to call you.

Yes, he's here. I've explained everything to him.

I'll send him to you with Kumar. - I'm not going anywhere.

I don't want a job.

Three years of your life have already been wasted.

How long can you go on like this? You'll have to do something.

I've told you, Kumar. I'm not interested.

What else will you do, if not work?

You will go and meet him today. That's it then.

Hello, sir! - Hello.

So you are Ajay, aren't you?

I hope you've been told what you are to do.

Yes, sir. I've told him..

..that need a bodyguard for your daughter.

But this will have to remain a secret.

Ajay will only be a chauffeur here.

Okay.

You may leave now. - Yes.

Ajay!

You must report for duty from today itself.

Your lodging has been arranged in the outhouse.

Do you have a revolver?

(Drawer open)

Keep this. You might need it.

(Gunshot)

You think you're beautiful, don't you?

But you're an ugly-duckling.

(Gasps)

School!

What are you doing here?

Ask the driver to get car ready. - Yes, madam.

Come on! Go!

I've forgotten something. But what is it?

What have I forgotten now?

Why are you staring? Tell me, what have I forgotten?

School-bag.

School-bag! The nut I am!

Off to school, without the bag.

Have something to eat, dear.

You are still here? Go and get my bag.

There's something else I've forgotten.

Papa! Papa!

We'll have to get rid of this fear, Mr. Dubey.

So what if some people take offence?

Bye, Papa! I'm off to school.

I can understand everything. There's nothing to worry about.

But someone will have to take the tough decisions, you see.

You need not worry about them. - Bye.

Okay. That's a very big..

Sushila. - Yes.

Who's he? - He's the new chauffeur.

Hi!

I'm Priyanka Chaudhary. Priya.

You must think that this is not the way to the school, right?

But who's going to school anyway? Take the right turn.

I've a friend, Nisha, whom I've got to pick up.

I've some important work with her.

Of course, we'd have met in school. But I can't wait.

I'd rather meet her at her place.

Oh right.

Stop.

(Brakes squeal)

We're already there. You'd better remember this place.

I come here very often and I won't always give you directions.

What are you waiting for? Blow the horn.

(Horn blares)

Priya. Hurry downstairs, Nisha.

Priya is here to collect you.

You aren't even ready yet?

Not only are you late, you'll cause her to be late, too.

How are you? - Fine uncle.

Your father? - Everything's fine.

Hi, Priya. - Hey, Nisha. Hurry up.

Bye, papa.

Bye, uncle. - Bye. Come on.

Yes.

Let's go.

(Brakes squeal)

Oh, shit!

What's wrong? - It's the school.

Of course, it's the school! But can't you drive properly?

Who gave you the license? Well then, this evening..

Strange man! He doesn't even answer me.

You find such characters in Congo.

And where is Congo, you may ask? - Where?

In Africa! Come.

How the planets form is still the matter of speculation.

Some say it originated from condensing gas and dust

but do you know why this planet is round shaped?

This geography is boring me to death.

How does it make a difference to us if the earth is round?

What could we have done, if it were triangular for that matter?

What do you intend to do today?

I certainly don't want to study. - And do what?

I want to break free today, dance a jig and make merry.

(Music)

"Skip your studies today. Come, let's have fun together."

"Skip your studies today. Come, let's have fun together."

"Let's go to the movies, to the discos and let's make merry today."

"We've enough time to study. Let's have fun for now."

"We've enough time to study. Let's have fun for now."

"Let's go to the hotel and have Ice-creams."

"Let's paint the town red."

(Music)

"We're bored sick of learning the languages."

"We're bored sick of learning the languages."

"No wonder then that we feel like going wild today."

"What a wonderful occasion it is!"

"With mischief in the air."

"Mad and crazy, our hearts want to fly away."

(Music)

"We've become prisoners in the school, I say."

"We've become prisoners in the school, I say."

"And at home, we're terrified of our parents."

"Nagging troubles seem to follow us wherever we go."

"Nobody understands our problems. Whom do we talk to?"

(Music)

(School bell rings)

Priya, let's go.

Oh!

You've kicked your job? Have you gone crazy?

It isn't even 24 hours since you joined duty. What went wrong?

That girl has no manners, to begin with.

She speaks as bluntly as she wishes. She's really stupid.

So that is it. But she's a kid, my friend.

Kid? - Never mind her banter.

Think of the responsibility the Satyandra pal has assigned to you.

Besides, what will we say to Velu? He'll be offended, won't he?

No. - I beg of you now.

For my sake, for god's sake, hang on there for a few days more.

If you don't like it, you quit. Okay?

Get him a cold-drink. Everything will be all right.

You shouldn't think so much. Make a move quickly.

So check and mate. What will you do now?

What will I do now? I still have a rook.

And so? - So.

It will kill your queen.

A rook moves straight. It can't move diagonally.

Why not? It can do anything for survival.

Certainly not! You say this, only because you've lost.

Oh no. It's you who has lost.

No. You've lost.

It's you who has lost. - It's you, I say.

No! You've lost!

You know something? You're a cheat.

What was that you said?

I said you're a cheat.

Could you say that again?

I said you're a cheat.

(Laughs)

Priya! What an uproar are you kicking up?

Go inside. It's time you must go to bed.

Bye. - Bye.

My daughter is a kid.

But for all your gray hair, you're still a kid.

You should be sensible.

I've been very sensible, my friend.

But have you ever thought of your daughter's feelings?

Does she have anyone in this big house whom she can talk to?

She has no social life.

And well, you happen to be so busy with your profession..

..that you simply have no time for her. Then what should she do?

I understand all that, too. But what can I do?

I'm not a newspaper-magnate like you. I'm a politician.

And it's not the politicians' luck to stay at one place.

Has Mr. Ajay been served dinner? - Yes, sir.

Ajay? Who's Ajay?

He's Priya's bodyguard. - Priya's bodyguard?

But why?

Suppose I resign from the ruling party.

All security will be taken, right?

Resigning from the party? Are you joking?

No. I'm serious.

What's this you're saying? And how far are the elections anyway?

They're right ahead! And you talk of resignations?

You're in your senses, I hope. - I am in my senses.

And what the hell for?

Do you know what the citizens do at the mere sight of politicians?

They cover their noses.

To tell us that we stink.

And they're right, too. What have we given this nation anyway?

Our poor citizens?

Violence! Terrorism! Corruption!

I'm being able to do nothing..

..in spite of being in the ruling party.

I find myself absolutely helpless.

My conscience provokes me. It curses me!

Which is why I'm resigning from the party.

I'm doing it tomorrow itself. I'd called you over because..

..I wanted the news flashed in your newspaper.

Haven't you gone to sleep, dear?

Papa! I'm not feeling sleepy.

You seem to have taken the scolding badly.

No, it isn't that at all.

I admit, my child..

..that you never got motherly affection.

And unlike parents of other children..

..I simply can't find enough time for you.

That does not mean that I don't love you.

Who do I have in this world, except you?

But you must try to understand me, my child.

I bear the responsibilities of millions of people..

..who have helped me reach where I stand today.

I have to think of them, too.

Which is why..

..I've never been able to give you enough of attention.

But whatever I am doing..

..is for you and your future. Isn't it?

Go to sleep now.

Good night, Papa. - Good night, dear.

Sensational news!

Narendra Pal Chaudhary resigns!

Narendra Pal Chaudhary resigns!

Do you see that, Ajay? All security has been withdrawn.

Thank god, it's my own house.

Or I'd have had to move out of here.

A lot of people are unhappy with my resignation.

So, they can cause problems at any time.

I have only one weakness. My daughter, Priya.

You'll have to be even more alert from now on.

(Horn blares)

Go on. It's time for Priya's school.

What's your name?

Is that how you look all the time?

Is that how the lord created you?

What's your problem in life?

The heavens won't fall if you smile.

Can't you speak? You're not dumb, are you?

Are you deaf?

(Brakes squeal)

Your father has employed me to drop you at school and bring you back.

Not to listen to nonsense.

Sit quietly.

Stop the car.

(Number dialing)

(Slaps)

Do you people want to remain in the party?

What's wrong?

Shut the door, Sushila. - Yes, sir.

So, you will have to decide whether..

(Crying)

(Gunshot)

(Car engine starts)

(Brakes squeal)

You slapped me yesterday, right? I've leveled the score today.

We're square now. I've avenged the slap.

What had I asked you for anyway? Tell me.

I only asked you to talk, didn't I? And you slapped me!

And so hard?

That hand of yours! It's more of a sledge-hammer!

Why slap me in the face anyway?

You could have hit me in the back.

You've smiled, I say! I can't believe it.

You can smile? You're smiling.

Hey, folks! Take a look! He can even smile!

What childishness is this?

Go and bring umbrella. It's going to rain. - Shut up, Priya!

Okay! C'mon! We must celebrate this rare occasion.

But how do we celebrate?

Sit here and tell me what will you have?

Vanilla, butterscotch, Pistachio..

..Cashew-nut ice-cream, or the fruity one?

Get us 2 chocolate sundaes.

You'd better forget what happened yesterday.

From now on, we are friends, okay?

Okay?

(Laughs)

If I tell my friends that we're buddies now, they won't believe me.

And Nisha would think I'm lying through my teeth.

She'd say that we can never be friends.

Have it.

When you slapped me yesterday..

..I badly wanted to cry on someone's shoulders.

But I have no one, you see. My father's always busy.

And what could I do? I cried alone in my room all night.

But you're a friend now.

If I'm slapped again, I'll cry on your shoulders.

In fact, if you hit me too, it's you I'd cry in front of. Okay?

So many of you? A raid on my office?

It must be something important. What is it?

All these gentlemen want to resign from the ruling party..

..and join ranks with Mr. Chaudhary.

Really? - Please have this news spread through your newspaper.

Oh, my god!

This is important news indeed!

Today's headlines..

..15 MLAs quit ruling party to join Mr. Chaudhary!

Today's headlines..

Ajay.

Ajay. Ajay.

Ajay!

Help! Ajay.

Ajay.

Help! Ajay.

Ajay, help me!

(Gunshot)

Help! Ajay.

No.

(Gunshot)

Ajay. Ajay.

Ajay. Help!

(Gunshot)

Let me go.

Ajay. Help!

Ajay!

(Gunshot)

(Brakes squeal)

Let me go.

(Brakes squeal)

Ajay.

No.

(Gunshot) - Ajay, help!

(Brakes squeal)

(Glass shatters)

(Crying)

Stop crying! It's going to be all right.

I know that politics is a dirty game.

I didn't know that it could be so dirty.

Are you implying that this is the handiwork of the ruling party?

(Camera clicks)

I cannot point fingers of accusation at any particular group..

..and accuse them of being responsible for this episode.

But what I want to convey through your newspapers to those..

..who want to break my resolve with threats and intimidation.

That such disgusting acts of cowardice will not scare me.

They cannot make me change my decision.

I will stand up against them, come what may!

What's happening?

What's wrong with me?

Am I undergoing a transformation?

Am I being drawn closer to her? No!

I'll have to keep my distance.

I must keep my distance.

I don't want this to happen to me all over again.

I want to forget the nightmare.

I want to overcome it.

(Music)

Ajay. - Yes.

I might be away in Delhi for 3 or 4 days. Take care of Priya. - Yes.

And till I return, you will stay here. Not in the outhouse.

What? - I'm in love.

That simply can't be. - Why not?

You told us just now that you woke up late this morning.

Which goes to prove that you sleep well.

I do sleep well. So?

Do you feel hungry?

Yes, I do! - And how about thirst?

Yes, I feel thirsty too! So what?

What do you mean? You simply can't be in love.

I've read it so often, that when one falls in love..

..one just does not feel hunger, thirst or sleepiness. Get it?

Let's go, we're getting late for class.

If I don't love him..

..why did I sing a duet with him in my dreams?

I just can't figure out this.

Hey!

(Applause)

The name of our party is the Indian unity.

And our election symbol is the star.

This is the star which symbolises the nation's bright future.

(Applause)

I'm glad that each and every political opposition party..

..has unanimously decided to support me in my mission.

(Applause)

The support extended to me by these united political organizations..

..has lent great strength to my party.

I am confident, therefore, that in the forthcoming elections..

..we shall prove to be a formidable opposition to the ruling party.

(Applause)

And, god willing, victory will be ours.

Long Live, Satyandra Pal Chaudhary!

Long Live, Satyandra Pal Chaudhary!

I'll kill you.

But why?

For all the brawn you possess, you're really pea brained!

What have I done? - What?

Father has been away for 2 days..

..and you still haven't offered to take me out.

I see.

But look. Before I ask him. - Don't refuse me!

Tomorrow's a Sunday. If dad returns, everything will go haywire.

Please. - But..

No! For my sake, please!

Okay! - Thank you!

Is that really you?

(Laughs)

Don't look at me like that. I feel shy.

And what are you doing? - I'm shaving.

Shaving? No, you will not shave. You simply can't shave!

I won't let you.

Because you wouldn't be the same person.

And then, you wouldn't be different.

But Priya. - It's for the women to get decked up.

Not you men, certainly. You look great like this. Very handsome!

A little unkempt. - Can I at least take a wash?

Sure! Go ahead!

And what will you wear?

Yes!

Let's go. - Won't you dress?

These will do.

What is it? - Everything is ruined, Nisha.

He has another girl's photograph in his room.

What? Sorry!

A girl's photograph in his room? - That's right.

Where is it? - In the suitcase, hidden in clothes.

How is she?

She's pretty to look at.

I see now. I really do!

What is it? - Why he goes around with stubble?

He must be madly in love with that girl..

..and she must have ditched him.

He's a jilted lover.

Why would he buy me an ice-cream..

..if he's in love with someone else?

Buying an ice-cream doesn't make a person fall in love.

No. - My grandpa bought you..

..an ice-cream the other day, didn't he?

Yes, he did. - Does it mean he loves you, too?

This means that Ajay is not in love with me.

Who are you? And what are you doing here?

He becomes touchy when I ask him. And you don't tell me, too.

You're a problem. A grave problem, indeed.

But you're nice and lovable.

But not more than me.

(Laughs)

Tell me now, who are you?

If you don't tell me, I'll take you away with me.

Shall I?

Very well then.

(Thunder crashing)

I speak the truth!

My snap hidden under that girl's photograph.

But how can.. - I swear upon my father!

We'll have to believe her. She wouldn't swear upon her father.

Does he really love Priya then?

Why else would he hide her photograph in his room?

Maybe he's scared. Which is why he doesn't profess his love.

Should I tell him? - No.

Girls never take the first step.

What now?

Somehow manage to get information on that girl.

You'll have the field to yourself, once she's out of the way.

Look, Ajay! There's daddy everywhere.

Take a look!

You haven't still told me anything about your parents.

They are no more.

I'm sorry.

Who else is there in your family?

Nobody. - Nobody?

Then who's the girl whose photograph you have in your room?

(Brakes squeal)

Please! - The new party. We have to..

We are not here to enjoy.

We'll have to work hard to make a success of our party.

Sir? - The party..

Had you promised to go out to a party with Priya?

What is this nonsense? I have no time for nonsense.

Ask her to take Ajay along.

Hello! - Hello, Mr. Bajaj!

Welcome. - Welcome.

Congratulations! - Congratulations!

Nice to meet you! - Nice to meet you!

Very nice! - Very nice!

What a boring party! - Not boring. It's a drag, really.

I thought we'd have fun, without papa around.

But this place is the pits.

Talk to Ajay. Let's go out for a drive.

I've already requested him. But he's not less boring.

He says that I either stay here, or go back home!

Oh shit!

(Sighs)

Do something that peps up life and adds some thrills to it.

What are we to do? - I have an idea.

What is it? Shoot! - Will you agree?

Name it first! - C'mon!

Are you out of your mind? No, I can't do this!

We're only doing it for experience. Besides, it'll be great fun!

Is what she says okay? - It's only for once anyway.

It'll be fun! - Yes. Let's not think now.

Well, all right. But where will we find it?

Leave that to me. Don't you worry.

But where?

Okay. Go on ahead, all of you.

I'll follow you soon. Okay.

Priya! Where are you going? - To attend to something important.

I'll go with you, too.

But why will you? - Because I can't leave you alone.

But you can't come with me to that place.

Why not?

How do I tell you now? - Try using your mouth.

Okay! Go ahead! - Thank you!

(Music)

"He's bent on stealing my heart."

"He's begun tormenting me in those sleepless nights."

"He's bent on stealing my heart."

"He's begun tormenting me in those sleepless nights."

"One loses sleep, when one is in love."

"Memories haunt one, when one is all alone."

"O darling, this crazy heart of yours has started stealing my heart, too."

"It keeps me awake all night."

(Music)

"I'm regaining consciousness, but losing my peace."

"I'm being overcome by desires."

"Just hide your face, behind those tresses, my dear."

"Hide it. - Hide it."

"Your eyes pierce like the arrows."

"Restlessness is today overwhelming all lovers."

"Tell me now, what spell have you cast on me?"

"Tell me. - Tell me."

"Why don't your eyes meet mine, now that you've stolen my heart?"

"You set my breath aflame."

"This crazy heart is madly in love with you, my love."

"My heart is getting stolen."

"It keeps me awake all night."

(Music)

"There's romance in the air. Come closer to me."

"Let me write on your lips, the song of love."

"Let go of my hands and stop worrying me."

"Stop worrying me. - Stop worrying me."

"We need to keep a little distance, as of now."

"Your desires, however, I shall fulfill."

"Heed my advice and don't torment me so much."

"Don't torment me so much. - Don't torment me so much."

"Why does my loneliness cause me such anguish?"

"There's an enticement that draws me to you."

"O darling, this crazy heart of yours has started stealing my heart, too."

"He's begun tormenting me in those sleepless nights."

"My heart is getting stolen."

"He's begun tormenting me in those sleepless nights."

"One loses sleep, when one is in love."

"And memories haunt one, when one is all alone."

"O darling, this crazy heart of yours has started stealing my heart, too."

"He's begun tormenting me in those sleepless nights."

"My heart is getting stolen."

"He's begun tormenting me in those sleepless nights."

(Thunder crashing)

What's wrong with you?

I'll tell you. But first stop the car.

Why? - Stop the car, will you?

Go on now. - Promise first.

Promise what? - To answer me truthfully.

What do you want to ask? - First give me your word.

Who is that girl whose photograph you keep in your room?

Now look, you've made a promise. Go on tell me.

You're under oath who is she? Tell me!

Please.

'Should I tell her the truth?'

'Will she be able to understand, even if I explain it to her?'

'For how long will I anyway keep it simmering in my heart?'

'I will have to share my sorrows with someone one day.'

'Tell her the truth.'

(Thunder crashing)

(Thunder crashing)

Welcome! And who was it that spoke ill of me today?

For how long..

..you're going to get into these fights.

Why don't you speak? Stop.

Wipe your head dry and I'll deal with you later.

Let's go.

Why are you standing here?

Will you have to be invited inside?

We've got work. We'll come in the morning.

Go ahead. I'll deal with you tomorrow.

Let's go!

Give me my food quickly. I'm famished.

You'll certainly get food. But first tell me..

..are you the only one in the world who has a sister?

Has she descended from the skies? Against whom none can speak?

People pass crude remarks when girls walk about on the streets.

They tease and rag. You can't stop their tongues from wagging.

And not every girl's folks fight and get into brawls like you do.

You have been given ears, not only to listen to evil..

..but to ignore a lot of what is said, too.

Very well, can I eat now? - Sure, go ahead.

But you must thank the almighty for all that he's given you.

A nice house, a cushy job and a comfortable lifestyle.

Why do you still get into these brawls?

Have you ever considered what would happen to you..

..what will happen to me?

Who else do I have in this world but you?

Don't worry.

Nothing can happen to me, till I find you a nice groom.

(Scoff)

Eat now!

Don't you have any sense? You want to spoil my name?

The whole of the town looks to me, to sort out their disputes.

Now whom do I look to, to have your battles taken care of?

This is the last time I'm warning you.

I don't want trouble henceforth.

What have I done, boss?

Well, all right. Go inside.

I've spoken to Deva, Ajay.

He won't cause any trouble now.

And you'd better forget it, too.

As for now, pay a visit to the businessman.

He hasn't vacated the place, in spite of being paid to do so.

He has even gone back on the settlement I engineered.

You know I can't trust Deva with everything.

He's crazy, I tell you. He's capable of just anything.

I'm sending him along..

..so that you can use him if there's any trouble.

In that case, you'd better tell him to do as I say.

Sure, that's what he'll do.

Deva!

Deva!

You've got to go with Ajay and follow his orders.

Or I can be nasty, too. Do you understand?

(Brakes squeal)

You hired these thugs to beat us up?

Open up! Save my daughter. Please!

Let me go. No!

No!

Enough.

Why are you hitting me? What the hell for?

Her father hires thugs to have us bashed up.

(Crying)

He should be taught a lesson.

You need lessons in decency first, before you teach others.

Learn to respect womenfolk whoever they belong to.

Dare repeat this again and I'll have your life!

(Laughs)

I'm not laughing because you got a thrashing.

I'm laughing, because you call Ajay a friend.

And a nice friend he is! He beats you up for a mere girl?

You'd better shut up now. And let me drink in peace.

I see! So you want to figure it out with the booze?

As to how you're going to deal with your future brother-in-law?

What was that? What nonsense did you speak?

(Laughs)

I know everything about..

..what goes on between you and Asha.

You meet her on the sly very often, don't you?

But, hey! I'm not a swine.

I won't talk about this to anyone.

(Laughs)

I really won't.

But when Ajay comes to know of it, what then?

I happened to gossip a little about his sister..

..and you saw how he bashed me up, didn't you?

And you're really neck deep in this mess, my friend.

He'd never accept you for a brother-in-law.

But he'd certainly hack you to pieces..

..and dump your remains in the gutters.

You'd disappear.

Nobody would ever know you were even born. - Shut up.

Come here, Kumar.

What is it? - Choose one of these fingers.

What for? - Go on now!

(Chuckles)

What are you smiling for? Had you wished upon something?

You will see my sister will marry a man of medicine.

Do you keep thinking of your sister even at your workouts?

Can't you think of anything else?

I can't. You don't know the worth of a sister..

..because you have none.

And besides, she's the only one I have in this world.

I want to make a lot of money. And quickly at that.

After which I'll take my sister and go away from here.

To someplace where they know nothing about me.

I'll get my sister married in a household where she finds..

..unlimited unhappiness.

I want to give my sister a good life.

Very good life.

Your brother has great plans for you.

He'd never be able to bear his sister marrying..

..someone as modest and poor as I.

You..- Not at all, Ramesh. My brother loves me very much.

You need not worry. I'll persuade him.

That's not possible, Asha.

If your brother gets to know of this, he'll surely murder me.

There's only one option left.

That is, to get married first..

..and inform him later.

He'd never annihilate his sister's husband.

I'm sorry Ramesh. I'd never be able to do this.

How can I take such a crucial decision without even informing him?

Now look, Asha. If you really love me and..

..want to settle down with me..

..then we have no other choice.

You decide.

'Brother, I've never done anything'..

..'in my life without your consent.'

'And for the first time in my life, without your approval,'..

..'I've indeed taken a very bold decision for my future.'

'I have got married to your friend, Ramesh.'

'But I trust my brother to forgive this impropriety on my part.'

'I'm waiting for your blessings at Ramesh's house.'

'Please do come, my darling brother. Yours, Asha.'

(Engine purrs)

(Laughs)

What are you doing around my place?

I have something to tell you about your sister.

You dare utter my sister's name again, you swine?

Sure, I do. Because, right now, she and Ramesh..

Hit me, all you wish! But hear me out, before you do that.

Your sister is right now having fun with Ramesh in his house.

If this turns out to be a lie, you may slaughter me.

I will wait here for you. I will not flee.

You'd better go and see for yourself.

You'll get to know everything.

The true worth of your friend and sister.

(Banging on door)

You bastard! - (Gunshot)

No! - (Gunshot)

No! Ramesh!

No!

I won't let you live either.

Go ahead. Kill me. What do I live for, anyway?

You have widowed me as it is.

You've made me a widow.

I was eagerly awaiting your arrival..

..so you could bless your sister for a happy married life.

But you have killed her husband!

Tell me why did you kill him? Why did you?

Ramesh wasn't a good boy, Asha. He was a gangster, in fact.

Which means you're a gangster and a hoodlum, too..

..and that you're in the same profession that he was in.

I have trusted only two men in my life.

You were one. He was the other.

But both of you have betrayed me.

You killed my trust.

He is no more but I will punish you.

I surely will.

The sin you have committed today is not worthy of forgiveness.

And I will give you a punishment more savage than what you've done.

Asha. - (Gunshot)

Ajay.

No.

Ajay.

Let me go! No!

Let go off me!

Help! Ajay!

No!

Ajay! Ajay!

Let go off me!

Ajay!

(Gunshot)

No!

(Rapid gunfire)

No!

(Gunshot)

Priya, move!

(Gunshot)

(Rapid gunfire)

(Car engine starts)

(Gunshot)

How is Ajay?

What do the doctors say?

When will he regain consciousness?

Move away, all of you! Nobody will sneak inside!

(Heart Monitor beeping)

(Siren wails)

'I don't know where I am being held, Papa.'

'I don't know who they are and what are their demands?'

'But if you don't give in to their demands, they'll kill me.'

'They're very dangerous, Papa. And one of them happens to be mad!'

'No, Mr. Chaudhary, neither am I mad, nor am I a bad man.'

'We're taking proper care of your daughter.'

'But how well we continue to treat her'..

..'depends on you.'

'We'll release your daughter very soon.'

'You will only have to accede to two of our demands.'

'The first is 20 million rupees.'

'And the other one is that you wind up your new political party.'

Impossible!

I can never give in to their demands.

You are talking absolute rubbish.

Has the earth consumed Priya or have the skies swallowed her?

You can't find her?

3 days have gone by since Priya vanished.

Far from nabbing the culprits..

..you have not even established who is behind the abduction?

What is your incompetent department doing?

You'd better listen to this carefully.

If you're bowing to pressure and neglecting your duties..

..I won't remain a silent spectator, too.

Don't you forget that..

..I own the nation's largest selling newspaper! Understand?

I will expose you before the public.

At least hear me out, sir. - I will listen to nothing.

It's impossible.

Doctor, please. It's very important for us to speak to him.

I can understand your predicament.

But the patient was brought here from the ICU only yesterday.

He has lost so much of blood..

..that he can't even stand on his own.

You will have to wait for a couple of days.

We don't have so much of time, doctor.

Do you know the uproar this case has caused?

There are demonstrations all around.

He's the only one who can tell us something about the case. - No!

Ajay! - Sister!

Where is Priya?

Where is she?

Now don't get excited. - No.

Why don't you speak? Nothing's happened to her, I hope.

There is still no trace of her, Mr. Ajay.

I've come to you for help, in order to find her.

How dare you enter inside? Hadn't I warned you?

Please, just go out. - Stop it, doctor.

What do you want to know?

(Projector slide change clicks)

It's not him.

Next!

(Projector slide change clicks)

Ajay, don't strain yourself.

It's okay if you can recognize him easily.

Or forget it.

No, it's not him either.

Next.

(Projector slide change clicks)

(Gunshot)

(Gunshot)

Ajay, help me. Ajay!

It was him.

It was him.

He was driving the van.

He's the one.

I won't spare him! I'll not spare him!

Nurse! - Yes, doctor.

Oxygen.

And send for a stretcher. Quick.

(Brakes squeal)

Follow that truck.

This is your test, my friend.

You must not allow yourself to weaken.

All this has happened only because of me.

And I'm so helpless that I can't do anything for my daughter.

Will she will understand my constraints?

She must surely be aware of your constraints.

She's your daughter.

But I know her more than you do.

She's a very wise and courageous girl.

She can face any hardship.

Why are you so worried?

Your father loves you very much, doesn't he?

Right? - Yes.

(Laughs)

He'll meet our demands then.

We'll release you, just as we brought you here.

Is that all right?

What if my father does not agree?

No.

You're beautiful, aren't you?

We'll render you so abhorrent..

..that you'd shudder to look at your own image.

What are so many provisions for?

Do you intend to stay here for a month?

Never mind that.

She'll have whatever she likes.

Is that your father?

Don't shake your head! Speak up! Is he your father?

Yes, that's my father.

Your father?

This girl has to be kidnapped and kept at my old bungalow.

And listen. The girl should suffer no harm.

She's got to be looked after well, okay? - Okay.

Velu?

I hope we can trust this man.

You needn't worry, sir. He's one of my trusted men.

He's useful and trustworthy, too.

Get your bags and prepare to leave. - Why?

(Gunshot)

(Screams)

Quiet!

And what have I done? Nothing.

They were Velu's thugs. So I've finished them.

Come along.

Call for you.

Hello, Mr. Chaudhary here.

What a classic move to win the elections.

You've had your own daughter kidnapped.

You've kicked up a fuss in the whole of the nation.

You've turned the nation's opinion against the government.

Wonderful!

It would be better if you get down to business.

But that is exactly what I have been doing.

You're going to rake in millions from this farce, aren't you?

Don't you think I should share some of the spoils too?

Now think about it.

Till when will I work under Velu like his pet dog?

And keep barking away?

Just do this. Contest the elections and..

..don't wind up your party too.

It makes no difference to me. No difference at all!

Just give me 20 millions. That's all.

Go on. - What else do I say now?

You've got to do the talking. I'll call you tomorrow then. Yes.

But you'd better agree, because you have a beautiful daughter.

She's so fair and attractive.

So tender and delicate and not very old, either.

Let me venture a guess. She should be seventeen.

Do you know what seventeen means?

Seventeen is dangerous.

(Laughs)

What's wrong? Whose call was that?

Nothing serious. It was some party workers.

Party workers?

Shut up!

I had asked you the moment..

..I saw him, whether he could be trusted.

The scoundrel looked mad at a mere glance.

But you said that he was one of your trusted men.

He was trusted, sir.

He always used to follow me around like a pet dog.

How was I to know that he'd snap at me?

But just don't worry, sir. I'll ferret him out somehow.

You remember, don't you, Velu?

That I am the one who's made..

..you the dreaded gangster that you are.

How can I ever forget that, sir?

But you'd also better remember..

..that if something happens to my daughter..

..I'll be responsible in killing you out, too.

You can leave.

You're no longer a kid.

You've grown up.

You'll have to shoulder many of my responsibilities.

(Clicks tongue)

Poor girl!

You're shocked to know about your father, right?

You might not even have dreamt..

..that your father must be like this..

..he'd land you in problems?

I swear, I'm feeling sorry for you today.

But what can I do?

You're ill fated, I guess.

Your father is a crook.

And I'm even worse.

But you have certainly come across a real gentleman, too.

And that is Ajay.

But look at the irony that he's dead, too.

Ajay cannot die. - Why?

Why can't he die?

He's made of stone? Iron?

How many bullets had he taken? He was in the hospital on the brink of death.

Why can't he die? - That's because I'm still alive.

Because I'm alive.

(Laughs)

See that, sir?

You're being discussed in every newspaper column.

Public sympathy for you is spreading like wildfire, sir.

The opposition party is shattered..

..by your rising popularity, sir.

You're being discussed everywhere we go, sir.

No power on earth can stop our party from winning, sir.

You can only think of the party.

Nobody seems to be worried about the fate of my daughter.

Excuse us for a moment, please.

You too, Sushila.

Satyandra Pal, It's a matter of a few days now.

Control yourself and be patient, as you have been so far.

Just let the elections get over. And then..

That lunatic will not wait till then.

If I don't meet his demands before the elections..

..he'll finish her off. He'll kill my daughter.

And you will die, if you accede to his demands before the polls.

That's true, Satyandra Pal.

He will release Priya the moment his demands are met.

And with Priya's freedom..

..the sympathy wave on the strength of..

..which we can win the elections will be finished, too.

We have always given you the right advice, Satyandra Pal.

Your rise in politics is proof of our claim.

Have faith in us.

But she's my daughter. And it's her life that is..

Don't get carried away like the average citizen, my friend.

And give it a proper thought.

She's not your daughter, but a mere citizen of this country.

Make up your mind, as to what is more important.

Is it the party's victory? Or is it the girl's release?

You have always dreamt of being a celebrated person..

And that day is here, Satyandra Pal. It is here.

The sympathy that you enjoy in the hearts of the people today

..if maintained properly..

..will catapult you to the position of an able administrator.

The most powerful leader!

When the nation wants to entrust its future to you..

..then who are you to refuse the responsibility?

'I, Satyandra Pal Chaudhary..'

'..swear by the constitution of India..'

'..to discharge my duties honestly..'

'..till as long as I remain in power.'

One must make sacrifices, in order to gain something.

Ajay! Ajay!

Ajay? What are you doing?

Why are you fishing out everything?

What's wrong? Why are you so restless?

I'm scared of you. Ajay.

You don't seem to be yourself today.

You look like a madman today.

Yes, I've gone mad.

Society has driven me mad.

It has never let me live in peace.

It's always played dirty games with me.

It has taken away every person I have ever cared for.

It began with my parents. Then it was my sister.

And I was dumped like a lifeless corpse.

Priya was the only one to infuse life into a corpse.

And today, the world conspired to snatch my love from me.

I am not prepared to lose her. I will bring her back.

From where?

From whom?

Will you search everywhere?

Who are they? Where have they held her?

Do you know anything?

Where is the man whom I had identified?

He died in an accident. - What accident?

Where is the lorry driver?

(Door creaks)

There's someone to meet you. - Me?

Who is it?

Vikya?

He's one of Velu's men.

Have you gone mad?

You hit me? You dare hit Velu?

Hey, stop there.

Tell me, where you have hidden Priya?

No, Ajay! Don't kill me.

I'll tell you.

(Gun Cocking)

It's true that this is all my doing.

But that bloody Deva betrayed me, too.

I really don't know where he's hidden the girl.

I'm hunting for him, too. This is the truth, Ajay.

The truth.

(Gasps)

(Laughs)

Take a look at what I've brought for you.

Some new clothes.

You've been in the same dress since you've come.

Since you've lived in palaces and slept on soft beds..

..you must remain clean and tidy, too. Am I right?

Or else, you'll start stinking.

And I really hate that.

Take a look.

I've worn a new dress for you.

I too was fond of good clothes

but I was always broke.

That Velu never liked me dressed decently.

But now that you're with me.

My little dove! - No!

Thanks to you, I can indulge in all my pleasures now.

Don't be scared and take this.

Go and wear these clothes.

No! - No?

I hate it when someone refuses me.

My hand is resting on your head just now.

If it slips down to your neck..

..it will kill you.

And if my hand starts going lower.. - No! Please!

Neither will you be among the living, nor among the dead.

Will you dress up on your own? Or should I do it for you?

I'll do it.

You're a gang lord?

You shamelessly complain like a school going kid.

Velu, the underworld don.

You'll ruin all my plans. Absolutely ruin them.

Couldn't help, sir.

Had I not told him, he'd have really killed me.

But I've told him only about Deva.

I haven't spoken about you.

It's thanks to this, that you're still alive.

But you can't understand what a big blunder you've committed..

..by squealing about Deva.

He's like a wounded tiger now, sir.

No power on earth can stop him now.

Only some scheme you think of, can stop him, sir.

You do something, sir.

(Brakes squeal)

Boss! - What's up?

Why are you looking scared? Is something wrong?

Yes, boss.

Ajay has been discharged from hospital.

He beat up Velu very badly. And Velu has told him about us.

You know what a dangerous guy he is. He's bound to get here.

And if he does, none of us will remain alive.

Hurry up, boss. Let's scram.

(Music)

"Come!"

"Come!"

"Come now, O beloved. Listen to the pleas of my heart."

"Come now, O beloved."

"Death has never been able to defeat those madly in love."

"No matter what atrocities the world wreaks on them."

"Come now, O beloved. Listen to the pleas of my heart."

"Come now, O beloved."

(Music)

"I'm not the fire anyone can extinguish."

"I'm not something anyone can destroy."

"My promises are not false. My vows are sacred."

"We can never lose. We are determined."

"Come now, O beloved. Listen to the pleas of my heart."

"Come now, O beloved."

"Come now, O beloved. Listen to the pleas of my heart."

"Come now, O beloved."

(Music)

"I have implicit faith that my lover will surely arrive."

"That my love will bring a new hope."

"Let me have a glimpse of you. Come as an appeal."

"Annihilate the enemy. Come as the destroyer."

"Come now, O beloved. Listen to the pleas of my heart."

"Come now, O beloved."

"Death has never been able to defeat those madly in love."

"No matter what atrocities the world wreaks on them."

"Come now, O beloved. Listen to the pleas of my heart."

"Come now, O beloved."

(Music)

(Screams)

What's wrong?

Were you dreaming?

Your hero, Ajay, appeared in your dreams and killed me, didn't he?

He rescued you and took you away? Isn't that it?

(Laughs)

I know that he will come.

He'll surely come to save you.

He's made of iron, isn't he?

He survived all those bullet wounds.

He gave Velu a thrashing after being discharged from the hospital.

(Laughs)

He is bound to come here also.

But I'm not Velu.

Do you know what will happen if he were to come here?

Do you know?

He'll only find your dead body.

What is this you're saying, Mr. Chaudhary?

Ajay was your daughter's bodyguard.

I too was under the same impression.

But I have just been informed, that before he joined me..

..he used to work for the underworld.

Is it? - Yes.

You will have to help me, Mr. ACP.

Arrest Ajay immediately.

You must hold him in custody till..

..he tells you everything about Priya.

Yes, sir. - Yes.

There's another thing.

You must keep his arrest a secret.

Or my daughter's life could be in danger.

Don't worry, sir.

(Siren wails)

Speak.

Who conspired with you to kidnap Mr. Chaudhary's daughter?

Since when have you been planning this?

And who helped you in it?

How much were you paid for the betrayal? Speak up!

How many times have I told you that I know nothing of this?

I am looking for Priya, too.

I have no idea where she is.

I see. Did you hear guys hear that?

He's looking for Priya, too.

He's performing a cop's duty, without being in uniform.

Cut the act now and tell me everything.

Or we know of a thousand ways to make you speak.

I give you eight hours to make up your mind.

Only eight hours.

In a matter of a few days, we'll either be wealthy guys.

Or we'll finish off the girl.

'Following is the position of the elections held in the country.'

'The chief of the Indian unity party, Mr. Satyandra Pal Chaudhary,'

'appears to be a strong position.'

'It is expected that Mr. Chaudhary and his party'

'will sweep the polls all over the nation.'

'A major reason for this'

'is the abduction of his daughter, Priya.'

'Mr. Chaudhary enjoys the sympathy of citizens across the country.'

"My shoes are Japanese, my trousers from England."

"The red cap is Russian."

"At heart, however, I'm still an Indian."

How do I look, Priya?

Oh! Priya. Where..

What's this that you've done, Priya?

Amar! Usman!

Boss? - What the hell were you doing?

I've lost my 20 millions.

What've you guys been employed for? Take a look.

20 millions have gone down the drain.

(Gunshot)

(Empty gun clicks)

You can't die like this.

You just can't.

I was to get 20 millions.

How'll I get the dough now?

Did I harm you in any way?

No, right?

Then why have you betrayed me?

Speak.

Speak.

Speak.

Speak.

Speak.

No.

(Screams)

(Phone rings)

Hello. ACP Jagpat Speaking.

Yes, inspector Narain? What?

You've found a girl's dead body in the quarries?

What?

Oh, no!

(Brakes squeal)

Cover her.

(Crying)

Arrange for her funeral.

(Door creaks)

Your henchmen did kill Priya then, didn't they?

You've killed the kid.

Watch the consequences you'll have to bear for this.

Hop in, Ajay.

What makes you say that Priya is alive?

Of course. Priya is alive.

I have a strong feeling that she's not dead.

Besides, I have some suspicions, which will prove that she's alive.

What suspicions? - To begin with.

The gang which abducted Priya did not want Chaudhary..

..to contest the elections.

But the opposite happened.

Chaudhary won public sympathy.

And now that the elections are only two days away..

..will they kill Priya and help the sympathy wave? Never.

I don't think they'd do something so foolish.

There's something else.

Chaudhary happens to be my childhood friend.

And whether he spoke his heart to anyone in the world..

..he always confided in me.

For the first time however, he concealed from me the matter..

..that you had a hand in Priya's abduction.

My hand? - Exactly.

You were even arrested at Chaudhary's instance.

There's a saying, Ajay.

That everything you see in politics is never true.

And you can't see the truth.

I want to unravel this mystery and expose the secret.

And I will need your help in this mission.

Sir, your call.

Hello. - Wonderful, Mr. Chaudhary.

You killed someone else and proved it was your own daughter.

You've won the public's sympathy.

The elections are tomorrow.

You will even win the elections.

You tried to double cross and betray me.

But you've ended up fooling yourself.

You don't know how, do you?

If I produce your daughter before the electorate..

..and expose your plans, what then?

Just imagine what'll happen to your election results.

Think.

But don't worry.

If you don't want me to do this, I simply won't. Okay?

But in consideration of that..

..how much did I ask for?

Oh yes, it was 20 millions. Give me 100 millions now.

No, that's too much. 50 millions are enough.

Give me 50 millions.

And listen to me carefully.

I'll call you again in an hour.

Tell me where and I'll send my brother over for the dough.

Don't try any tricks, okay?

If my brother returns safely with the money..

..then you can enjoy the fruits of victory.

Do you agree?

Yes, I do.

Mr. Chaudhary. Prakash has taken the money away.

What? - No.

No..No..

It can't be.

Where have you hidden Priya? - I don't know.

Tell me where is Priya?

I don't know.

No.

No! No! (Screams)

(Screams)

Will you tell me or not?

I'll tell you. I'll tell you.

(Gunshot)

(Gunshot)

(Panting)

(Brakes squeal)

(Explosion)

(Rapid gunfire)

(Gunshot)

(Horse neighing)

(Brakes squeal)

(Gunshot)

(Gunshot)

'The latest election results indicate..'

'..that the Indian unity party,'

'secured more than a two-thirds majority.'

'The victorious candidates have..

..unanimously chosen Mr. Satyandra Pal Chaudhary as their leader.'

(Applause) - You folks must be surprised.

That immediately after winning the elections..

..why I have held my first public meeting..

..in a small constituency like this.

This is not a small region for me.

In fact, it's a sacred place.

Where I had begun my political career in your presence.

I considered it my duty, therefore..

..to express my gratitude to you folks.

(Applause)

It's a happy moment for me.

But it has brought an equal amount of sorrow, too.

We won this war of principles..

..at the cost of the lives of Mr. Dubey..

(Gunshot)

..Mr. Khare..

..and many of our close friends.

Congratulations, sir.

(Gunshot)

In fact..

..my little innocent daughter..

She was my sweetheart.

She was my only daughter.

In this battlefield of justice.. I..

I've also sacrificed her.

I would wish, therefore, that for the peace of the departed soul..

..we observe a silence of two minutes.

Chaudhary.

(Indistinct chatter)

My child, you're alive? - Stay away.

Stay away from me.

I find you repulsive.

What are you saying, dear?

I'm your father. - Father?

Father, indeed.

The one who gambled his daughter away for the seat of power?

Who, for the sake of a few votes, put his own flesh..

..and blood to such a bloody end?

For that coveted chair, you got your own daughter kidnapped..

..by people who behave like animals with all human beings?

If fathers are like you..

..then I'd pray to god with folded-hands..

..to let all daughters in the world lose their fathers.

May they all be fatherless.

(Crying)

What's going on over here, my friend?

Stop the farce now.

The lord forgave your sins all along..

..only because of this innocent girl.

But you have also incurred the curse of someone..

..who prayed for you.

And there is no one now who will forgive you.

They're all conspiring against me.

Guards! Security!

Arrest him.

What are you looking at me for? Arrest them.

Try to understand my point, Ajay.

Try to understand what I'm saying.

What is it that you wish to tell me?

Not only I, all these citizens want to hear you out, too.

Go on. Explain it to me.

What's this power game after all?

How bad is this lust for power?

To achieve that, you stoop so low..

..that you instigate a friend to burn down the house of a friend.

You compel a man to kill his own brother.

You spark off riots and strikes.

Communal tensions. And kill the people.

Tell me! Why do you do it?

Tell me!

If you spare my life..

..I'll devote my life to the service of the nation.

Service of the nation? - Yes.

You? - Yes.

One who even sacrifices his own flesh and blood for power..

..can never value the country or the citizens.

You're worse than an insect.

To forgive people like you..
