82 Wow!

83 Diwan Ji. - Your Majesty.

84 This is even more beautiful than I could fathom.

85 This dagger will be a symbol of honour to the royal singer.

86 And one murder in self-defence using this dagger...

87 would be pardoned.

88 Your Majesty, how can you give a dagger to a singer?

89 It would be like Lord Krishna holding a trident!

90 My Queen, the Goddess of art has two shadows.

91 The first being comparison, and the second being ego.

92 Competition rises along with the artist.

93 This leads to comparison.

94 And when he wins, he becomes egoistic.

95 And during such times...

96 this dagger would be a constant reminder...

97 that he has always walked a tightrope.

98 If he fails, he's gone.

99 Somebody else will take his place.

100 But a pardon for committing one murder, Your Majesty?

101 My Queen.

102 An artist has many enemies.

103 But his biggest enemy is his ego.

104 The dagger is to ascertain that he doesn't become egoistic.

105 My Queen.

106 Wow! The motive and the lesson both are excellent.

107 One name should be permanently etched on this dagger.

108 Agreed. The very talented musical genius...

109 whose name carries a certain heft,.

110 Pandit Bhanu Shankar Shastri. - Yes.

111 Hey...Ra...

112 "The iron red colored huge circle that bestows light to us."

113 "Bhaskar (Lord Sun) rules the universe."

114 "Because of your luminous aura..."

115 "Our palace is shinning bright."

116 "Hey, Dinamani, Vyomraj!

117 (Gem that lights up the day, Lord of Sky)"

118 "Bhaskar (Lord Sun) rules the universe."

119 "The iron red colored huge circle that bestows light to us."

120 "Your billions of rays enlightens every corner of the earth."

121 "Each particle on the earth shines like a nectar."

122 "Your shine gives us new life and ends the evil."

123 "Your shine gives us a new perspective."

124 "Hey, Dinamani, Vyomraj!

125 (Gem that lights up the day, Lord of Sky)"

126 "Bhaskar (Lord Sun) rules the universe."

127 "The iron red colored huge circle that bestows light to us."

128 Beautiful!

129 Sir.

130 A small gift from us Mirajkar's.

131 Wow! Marvellous.

147 'In many numbers.'

148 To offer you a present I have...

149 nothing but the music of my 'Gharana'.

150 By the way...

151 my name is Aftab Hussain Bareliwale.

152 But for me, you're the incredible singer of Miraj.

153 I will call you Khan Saheb from now on.

154 You really are a true artist.

155 Unfortunately, I don't know why...

156 my art didn't appeal to this city.

157 It's because of destiny that I'm helpless, my friend.

158 Otherwise I'm proficient in all art forms.

159 There's nothing I don't know.

160 You've called me a friend.

161 Come to Vishrampur without any hesitation.

162 Your art will be appreciated for sure.

163 All hail Bhanu Shankar Shastri!

164 All hail Aftab Hussain Bareliwale!

165 All hail Bhanu Shankar Shastri!

166 Long live His Majesty, King Vishnuraj!

167 Long live His Majesty, King Vishnuraj!

168 Long live His Majesty, King Vishnuraj!

169 Long live His Majesty, King Vishnuraj!

170 Is it necessary to sing while I'm praying?

171 Nabila, my music...

172 is no less than prayer to me.

173 I thought there will be a change in our situation.

174 It's been days since we moved to Vishrampur...

175 but nothing has changed.

176 We already have to take care of your nephews, Chand and Usman.

177 And now you invite these two.

178 Nabila, they're hungry.

179 Hungry! If they're hungry ask them to eat us.

180 Look at the priest. He sings too.

181 But where does he stay? In a mansion.

182 Today is the festival of Dussehra.

183 But we don't even have enough food at home.

184 And you invite your students over.

185 They have come to learn music from me.

186 Their first lesson should be...

187 music doesn't put food on the plate...

188 and melodies don't clothe one.

189 Have patience, Nabila.

190 These students will be accomplished singers some day...

191 and will make our 'Gharana' extremely proud.

192 Before making the 'Gharana' proud...

193 can we worry about having a house?

194 What we call a house is a charity.

195 A charity offered to us by the priest.

196 You think you have abundance of wealth,.

197 But the truth is you're bankrupt.

198 Come on. Let's go.

199 Come along.

200 Priest Bhanu Shankar himself invited us to come here.

201 He was going to ask the Chief Administrator...

202 to assign us a house.

203 This is my daughter Zareena.

204 Is it possible to get her admitted to a Sanskrit school here?

205 Of course.

206 Thank you.

207 Now we're obligated to the priest for Eid sweets too.

208 Hail His Majesty, King Vishnuraj!

209 Usman. - Come quick.

210 Hail His Majesty, King Vishnuraj!

211 Every Dussehra...

212 there's a musical performance at the royal court.

213 But this year His Majesty had something else on his mind.

214 For the development of Indian musical art forms...

215 a competition will be organised.

216 The person who wins will be given...

217 the royal singer's mansion,.

218 Mansion? - A salary of Rs 8000 per year...

219 the title of the royal singer...

220 and this dagger.

221 But the priest is our royal singer.

222 He himself suggested this.

223 If there's talent inside, it will reflect.

224 If there's a prize, competitors are bound to rise.

225 This will help the musical art to evolve and progress.

226 What about the priest?

227 He himself will take part in the competition.

228 A plate will be passed around.

229 Whoever is interested...

230 to compete with the priest...

231 please pick up the 'Paan' and present your skills...

232 in the royal court.

233 Khan Saheb? - Uncle Aftab.

234 Khan Saheb. Please come.

235 Please come.

236 I hope you don't have any objections.

237 Objections? Not at all.

238 In fact, I'm happy.

239 I'm happy that the royal court can witness your singing.

240 Your Majesty, this is Khan Saheb.

241 Aftab Hussain Bareliwale.

242 We met in Miraj.

243 He's an amazing singer.

244 I'm pleased to meet you, Khan Saheb.

245 In Your Majesty's honour,.

246 I'd like to ask permission to present the art of my 'Gharana'.

247 Go ahead.

248 Wow!

249 Splendid!

250 Beautiful!

251 "My heart is as warm as the sun today."

252 Wow!

253 "Just like Sun! My heart is as warm as the sun, today."

254 "Just like Sun! My heart is as warm as the sun, today."

255 Beautiful.

256 "I forgot everything..."

257 "I forgot all my dreams. I cannot focus on anything."

258 "Today, I can't focus. Today my heart is as warm as the sun."

259 (Indian classical music notations)

260 "My heart is as warm as the sun today."

261 "This song is amazing. It is mesmerizing."

262 "Just like the first rains."

263 "It makes earth smell like heaven and take my breath away!"

264 "This is the victory of music.

265 After this song, my heartbeat..."

266 "Forgets everything when it hears this sound.

267 My heart requests..."

268 "My heart is as warm as the sun today."

269 "My heart is as warm as the sun today."

270 Marvellous!

271 Extraordinary.

272 Wow!

273 Excellent!

275 Well sung.

276 Amazing!

277 Bravo!

283 "The joy of consuming honey."

284 "This care-free honey-bee is engrossed consuming honey."

285 "The care-free honey bee extracts honey."

286 "As soon as the flower petals are closed..."

287 "Flower petals are closed..."

288 "Flower petals are closed..."

289 "Flower petals are closed..."

290 "Flower petals are closed..."

291 "As soon as the flower petals are closed..."

292 "this bee is trapped inside"

293 "But still he doesn't stop putting..."

294 "his efforts of collecting honey."

295 "But still he doesn't stop putting..."

296 "his efforts of collecting honey."

297 "He is engrossed consuming honey. Honey-bee collects..."

298 "This care-free honey-bee is engrossed consuming honey."

299 Amazing!

300 I heard the singing of both the 'Gharanas'.

301 My soul filled with contentment.

302 I'll judge without any partiality.

303 Khan Saheb...

304 your beautiful singing...

305 and the applause you received for it, is commendable.

306 But, there are some singers...

307 who you don't applaud with your claps but with your eyes.

308 To achieve that finesse, one needs dedication like Pandit Ji.

309 So, I'd like to announce the winner of today's competition.

345 Everyone applauded him.

346 His Majesty was also impressed.

347 It was a lot of fun.

348 Here you are!

349 I have been looking for you everywhere.

350 Come on.

351 I have made a huge mistake, Nabila.

352 I lost.

353 I was defeated in presence of the royal court.

354 I have dishonoured the singing of my 'Gharana'.

355 Khan Saheb, why are you saying such things?

356 Whatever happened is for the good.

357 I'm very happy.

358 What are you happy about?

359 About my defeat?

360 My dishonour? - No,Khan Saheb.

361 I'm happy about the fact that...

362 you took a step towards achieving recognition.

363 It doesn't matter if you lost once.

364 You won't lose every time.

365 You will definitely win.

366 The destination lies ahead of us, Khan Saheb.

367 Now we just have to plan our journey.

368 Let's go.

369 'Did Ravana burn that day?'

370 'Or did he come back to life?

371 Nobody knows.

372 'What started as a competition, '

373 'Suddenly started to take the path of something demonic.'

374 Khan Saheb, sing. Sing as much as you want.

375 Have I ever tried to stop you?

376 Really.

377 I think you should breathe less...

378 and practice more.

379 Compliments of Dussehra.

380 Uma. Zareena.

381 'Every year, Dussehra competition'

382 'Was won by the priest.'

383 'Every year, I was given to him as a prize.'

384 'Khan Saheb started getting envious.'

385 Singing is your forte, Khan Saheb.

386 'Thirteen years had passed.'

387 'The bubble of envy was about to burst.'

388 'And I was watching it transpire.'

389 'Like I was the witness to the victor and the defeated, '

390 'So were Uma'

391 'And Zareena.'

392 Janya, have you ever seen defeat walk this earth?

393 No. - There it is. Loser Khan.

394 "Now that we are in love."

395 "Oh Lord, it hurts like someone stabbed me."

396 "Oh Lord, it hurts like someone stabbed me."

397 Hey! Let go of the gun!

398 What have you done, Khan Saheb? And for what?

399 Everyone calls you the victorious Pandit Ji.

400 And they call me...

401 loser Khan.

402 Is winning that important?

403 Look defeat in the eyes once, Pandit Ji.

404 You will realise yourself.

405 If you would have asked me once,.

406 I would have given up this position...

407 for you happily.

408 Then people would call me...

409 beggar Khan.

410 You misunderstand, Khan Saheb.

411 We are not related, Pandit Ji.

412 And being your friend...

413 won't be possible for me anymore.

414 Khan Saheb.

415 As you wish.

416 But do get well soon.

417 Because music and me, both need you.

418 Even if you consider me your enemy.

419 Take care.

420 Khan Saheb, you must learn something from the British.

421 Better than destroying oneself...

422 is to destroy the enemy.

443 Dad, start singing. It's your turn compete with Khan Saheb.

444 Pandit Ji, let the river of your...

445 music flow in the royal court.

446 Why isn't he saying anything?

447 Don't know. Maybe he's scared.

448 Dad?

449 Pandit Ji, is everything okay with your health?

450 Are you going to be singing?

451 Has something happened, Pandit Ji?

452 Dad, for my sake, say something!

453 Dad, say something.

454 Pandit Ji, say something.

455 Wait, Pandit Ji.

456 Stop for the sake of your music!

457 Your Majesty, I request you to...

462 I finally succeeded.

463 It's been fourteen years.

464 After fourteen years, this stain on the music of my 'Gharana'

465 has finally been wiped out.

466 Thank you, God!

467 Your Majesty.

468 Fourteen years.

469 For fourteen years...

470 feeling embarrassed...

471 facing defeat...

472 dishonoured.

473 I have carried the shame of defeat on my shoulders...

474 and have returned from this royal court for fourteen years.

475 Fourteen years.

476 Every Dussehra, I have been singed like the effigy of Ravana.

477 Fourteen years.

478 The people made fun of me. They called me names.

479 In spite of all this, I survived.

480 Only to witness this day.

481 Pandit Ji...

482 the graceful defeat I have been accepting for years...

483 is something I'd like to see in you.

484 I want you to listen to the applause of my victory.

485 The applause of my victory.

486 Your talent is heavenly, but...

487 I am the one who creates the mood.

488 I request His Majesty...

489 that I'd like to like to receive my reward...

490 from Pandit Ji's hands.

491 Khan Saheb.

492 That's a noble thought.

493 Diwan Ji. - Yes, Your Majesty.

494 It doesn't take time for fortunes to change, Pandit Ji.

495 I have found my place...

496 in the annals of history.

505 Here you go, sir.

506 Uma, what about Pandit Ji?

507 Father will send for you once he's back.

508 Okay. See you, Uma.

509 Uma...

510 where are you going?

511 Why? Shouldn't I get going too?

512 No. Because even today this mansion belongs to you.

513 It belonged to me earlier.

514 It belongs to you now, Zareena.

515 And who do I belong to?

516 Who am I to you?

517 You...

518 You are the daughter of the new royal singer.

519 Uma, I thought you would say.

520 Uma and Zareena are two sides of the same coin.

521 We are one.

522 But we are not.

523 Uma.

524 I'm not going to let you go.

525 Am I not your friend?

526 You are.

527 And that relationship will be forever.

528 The heirs of Aftab Hussain,.

529 Usman and Chand, have arrived.

530 But time has kept a secret.

531 When it is revealed...

532 you will agree...

533 that it was good that I left.

534 Probably you also wouldn't stay here.

535 I'll see you.

536 Greetings, Khan Saheb.

537 God bless you.

538 Look up there.

539 The keys to the mansion.

540 Usman.

541 I am sorry, my child...

542 that you have to leave the mansion.

543 One has to go sooner or later, Uncle Khan.

544 There's no point feeling bad about it.

545 I'll see you.

546 So much attitude.

547 Like a 'Sitar' with broken strings.

548 Check out the mansion. - Looks amazing.

549 Khan Saheb, greetings.

550 Court poet, greetings.

551 Our mansion!

552 Praise the Lord!

553 Usman. - Yes?

554 This is called a house.

555 Right.

556 There couldn't be a better place...

557 for us and Uncle Khan.

558 You are right.

559 Listen. - What?

560 This place was too big for Uma. - Right.

561 Now she will live in a place she is worthy of.

562 Useless girl.

563 Stop behaving like fools.

564 First, let this mansion be empty in the real sense.

565 But there's no one here.

566 Yes, everyone has left!

567 The mansion still has...

568 the presence of Pandit Ji's music...

569 his singing and his voice lingers on.

570 Go and close all the doors and windows.

571 Go! - Okay, uncle.

572 "Music notes are my life partners."

581 "My nights are restless now."

582 "Now my loneliness is yours."

583 "All the barriers will be no more there.

584 Mu music will bring joy."

585 "Now no one will forget my music."

586 "Until I die, my music is my life partner."

587 "My music is my life partner."

588 'Whatever I did'

589 'Was for your father's happiness.'

590 I couldn't bear to see him breaking down.

591 'What wrong did I do'

592 'That made him sever all ties with me?'

593 Uma...

594 Forgive me.

595 Please forgive me.

596 Badri!

597 Who is it?

598 Who's there?

599 Who is it?

600 Who are you?

601 I asked you who you are.

602 Oh, Lord!

603 I am here.

604 I have reached...

605 the mansion of the royal singer.

606 A huge mansion!

607 Pandit Ji, you called me and here I am.

608 So, you are here to meet Pandit.

609 Yes, I'm here to meet him.

610 He had called me.

611 Well, when was that?

612 14 years ago.

613 Pray tell us why you are here.

614 I have come to learn singing from Pandit Ji.

615 Oh!

616 So you wish to learn singing from Pandit.

617 Yes. I am his disciple.

618 Pandit Ji has tied the sacred thread on my wrist. - Has he?

619 But you are quite late.

620 Yes.

621 Pandit Ji has...

622 Don't say something bad... - Pandit Ji has renounced music.

623 He does not sing anymore. - He doesn't sing!

624 I don't believe it.

625 I'd have believed it if you had said he is no more.

626 But I can't believe that he's alive, and he doesn't sing.

627 Fine. So, you want to learn singing from Pandit.

628 Yes.

629 Have you any knowledge of singing?

630 Yes, a bit. Whatever I learned from him.

631 That's great. Let's hear you sing.

632 Come on, Chand.

633 Yes, let's hear you sing. - Be seated, Usman.

634 I don't know much. I'm just...

635 Let's listen to what you have learned.

636 I will get the 'Tanpura' - No.

637 Sing without the 'Tanpura'. - Yes!

638 I...

639 Come on, present something. - You may begin.

640 "As soon as the flower petals are closed..."

641 "As soon as the flower petals are closed..."

642 "The honey bee is trapped inside it."

643 "The honey bee is trapped inside it."

644 "But still he doesn't stop putting..."

645 "his efforts of collecting honey."

646 "He is engrossed consuming the honey. "

647 "The care-free honey bee is engrossed consuming honey."

648 Stop it!

649 Who is this useless fellow?

650 What is your name?

651 Sadashiv.

652 Sadashiv!

653 Are you Sadashiv Gurav? - Yes.

654 Aren't you from Miraj?

655 Yes, I came from Miraj. Do you know me?

656 Zareena!

657 Do you know him?

658 Yes, I do.

659 Uma had told me about him.

660 Uma!

661 You...

662 So, you are related to that unlucky girl.

663 I am sorry, but I don't know you.

664 He's the one who defeated Pandit.

665 The new Royal singer of Vishrampur.

666 The king of melody. Aftab Hussain.

667 If you wish you can learn from him.

668 Yes, you can.

669 You may be a great singer, but no one can match Pandit Ji.

670 That's enough!

671 Throw this insolent man out of here.

672 Okay. Get out of here! - Get out!

673 Get out of here! - Listen...

674 Just leave. - Uma...

675 You know Uma, don't you? - Yes, I do.

676 Please give her a message when you see her. - Zareena!

677 Go back to your room.

678 Please listen... - Pull him, Usman. - Throw him out. - Listen to me.

679 You know Uma. - Get out!

680 Tell her I won't go back before meeting her.

681 I may be poor, but I'm not a beggar.

682 Hey!

683 You came here at this late hour and disturbed us.

684 You dare stand in our mansion and yell at us!

685 What will you do?

686 What can you do? - I will squeeze your neck.

687 I play the 'Tanpura' with these fingers.

688 I can also squeeze your neck with these.

689 One's tone can be soft...

690 as well as harsh.

691 Sada... - Yes?

692 The two of will go out tonight. - Where to?

693 To catch fireflies.

694 Pandit Ji!

695 Pandit Ji, what are you doing?

696 "Shrine of a devotee's mind..."

697 "Shrine of a devotee's mind enlightens with divine radiance."

698 "Shrine of a devotee's mind enlightens with divine radiance."

699 "Sensitive!"

700 "Cultivates a sensitive and empathetic conduct."

701 "Shrine of a devotee's mind enlightens with divine radiance."

702 "Shrine of a devotee's mind..."

703 "Does one enjoys life dictated by destiny?"

704 "Does one enjoys life dictated by destiny?"

705 "You are a self luminous star...

706 the oasis of divine consciousness."

707 "Full with the dreams of bright future..."

708 "Take a leap and touch the sky."

709 "Enlightens a devotee with divine radiance."

710 "Shrine of a devotee's mind enlightens with divine radiance."

711 "Shrine of a devotee's mind..."

712 Fireflies!

713 Uma...

714 I'm here.

715 Uma?

716 Uma, open the door. I'm here.

717 Who is it?

718 Sadashiv.

719 Sadashiv. - I have come all the way from Miraj.

720 Uma?

721 There's no one at home right now. Come tomorrow morning.

722 Uma. Don't do this. It's so dark outside that.

723 I'm not sure if the morning would ever arrive.

724 But how am I to believe that you really are Sadashiv?

725 I... Why are you doing this, Uma?

726 Remember the tamarind tree? The temple of Lord Shiva?

727 Eating chickpeas on the riverbank?

728 The message. Those kiddish bets.

729 Sada. Where are we? Tell me.

730 Don't worry. I'm here. Come on.

731 Sada, what are you doing?

732 "Does one enjoys life dictated by destiny?"

733 "Does one enjoys life dictated by destiny?"

734 "You are a self luminous star...

735 the oasis of divine consciousness."

736 "Full with the dreams of bright future..."

737 "Take a leap and touch the sky."

738 "Enlightens a devotee with divine radiance."

739 "Shrine of a devotee's mind enlightens with divine radiance."

740 "Shrine of a devotee's mind..."

741 Fireflies didn't turn up!

742 Fourteen years have passed, Uma.

743 Every Guru Purnima, I add one knot to this sacred thread.

744 If you watch closely, you'll see fourteen knots.

745 We haven't forgotten you, Sadashiv.

746 'Sangeet Sudhakar'. Pandit Ji's literary composition.

747 And this...

748 You have kept us in memory through those knots.

749 And we have kept you in memory through your promise.

750 We finally met, Uma.

751 I feel good.

752 Once I meet Pandit Ji...

753 my mind will be entirely at peace.

754 I don't know if that would be possible.

755 Uma?

756 What's this? One mustn't wonder about negative possibilities.

757 What's to wonder when it has already happened?

758 What's happened?

759 What happened, Uma?

760 Dad had gone to Mathura.

761 For his performance.

762 Khan Saheb's wife was also in Agra...

763 at the time to visit her family.

764 She had invited father over for a feast.

765 Look at the view of Agra from here.

766 Leaving behind such a beautiful place,.

767 Khan Saheb in Miraj...

768 How much longer would he stay with his in-laws?

769 He had to look for work.

770 That's why he left Agra for Miraj.

771 Nabila! That's no way to talk.

772 Here you go, Pandit Ji.

773 No, thank you.

774 So religion is more important than our friendship?

775 A singer has no religion, Nabila.

776 You think of me as a sister.

777 How am I supposed to let you go without dessert then?

778 Here. - I won't be able to refuse now.

779 You're being so formal. - Not at all.

780 Have some more, please. - Okay.

781 They next day, father left to come back to Vishrampur.

782 And...

783 "Imbued with light is Your idol."

784 "The universe is another divine court!"

785 "It is burning hot but..."

786 "Fresh rays of Lord Sun..."

787 Pandit Ji! Drink some water.

788 Pandit Ji?

789 Pandit Ji!

790 Khan Saheb's wife had poisoned the dessert with vermilion.

791 Because of that, father lost his voice forever.

792 The country lost an accomplished singer.

793 After Khan Saheb's victory, father left Vishrampur.

794 He made everyone promise not to look for him.

795 Sadashiv!

796 Why have you come here?

797 I have come to kill the treacherous man who lives here.

798 Who're you talking about?

799 Aftab Hussain.

800 He is my father. - He is a criminal.

801 He's a criminal to music and culture.

802 You probably don't know... - I know everything.

803 Mother sent me a letter after I had returned to the mansion.

804 She did this so father could attain...

805 the position of the royal singer.

806 As a father, he never went wrong.

807 But as a singer, an artist, greed got the best of him.

808 And yet, you stop me.

809 Then how would you be different from him?

810 He took the life out of the Pandit Ji's voice.

811 You will take his life. And then you'll be hung for it.

812 No.

813 The Pandit Ji's hopes will die.

814 Uma's love will be buried.

815 Love?

816 She has spent the past fourteen years waiting for you.

817 You'll realise as time passes.

818 I only understand one thing now.

819 It's because of your father that Pandit Ji can't sing anymore.

820 And I won't be satisfied till I have my revenge.

821 I heard a story as a child, Sadashiv.

822 A king held a competition...

823 to make a line shorter without touching it.

824 Besides that line, somebody...

825 drew a longer line.

826 The first line became short in comparison.

827 That longer line is...

828 you, Sadashiv.

829 Anybody can kill this body made of flesh and bone.

830 If you manage to kill the arrogance inside it...

831 that's the day I'll believe that you're...

832 the Pandit Ji's true disciple.

833 Become an accomplished singer.

834 That would be your true revenge.

835 You really are his daughter?

836 Unfortunately.

837 Yes.

838 But he is very fortunate.

839 Don't think I have forgotten my revenge.

840 Revenge, I will have.

841 But the revenge will be...

842 through music.

843 Sada. - Yes?

844 Whatever I managed to understand of...

845 father's literary composition,.

846 I'll try to teach you that.

847 Wow! You seem prepared.

848 Wow!

849 Sada.

850 You have even understood the music of peace.

851 Sada, I have taught you everything father had taught me.

852 There's nothing more I can teach you.

853 Hey, buddy. Today no music...

854 no singing, no practice?

855 Sadashiv, why are you punishing the river with these stones?

856 Destiny is punishing me. - What do you mean?

857 Uma taught me everything she knows, court poet.

858 But she can't be compared with Pandit Ji.

859 Music is not knowledge. It's an art.

860 It's the same thing, court poet. - No, it's not.

861 Knowledge and art are two different things.

862 Knowledge penetrates us from the outside...

863 art seeps out from the inside.

864 A mind is enough to acquire knowledge.

865 But for art, one needs mind as well as a heart.

866 Knowledge can be handed over like a gift...

867 art is supposed to be pursued.

868 To give a musical analogy knowledge is like rhythm.

869 It can be learnt as well as taught.

870 But art is like melody.

871 It's inherent.

872 You have to acquire it from there before you're born.

873 Sadashiv, knowledge sets the world free.

874 But art creates unknown mysteries.

875 Pandit Ji trained you.

876 Why do you think he doesn't have a voice?

877 What do you mean? - The Pandit Ji has his voice.

878 What?

879 "Days are passed without devotional songs."

880 "Days are passed without devotional songs."

881 "Days are passed without devotional songs."

882 "I wasted my childhood in playing games."

883 Sadashiv...

884 a teacher is someone...

885 who guides a student...

886 towards the right path.

887 He's your true teacher.

888 "In the youth, I chased to build a reputation."

889 "Days are passed without devotional songs."

890 A person's vocal cords are located between his mind...

891 and his heart.

892 This is because if along with his voice...

893 he uses both of these...

894 nothing can stop him from becoming an accomplished singer.

895 "Lord Krishna who hold a flute, (known as) Nandalala."

896 "Lord Krishna who hold a flute, (known as) Nandalala."

897 "You are the mentor, You are the only savior."

898 "You are the one who invented music."

899 "You are the savior, Murlidhar Shyam!"

900 "Nandalal, Murlidhar Shyam!"

901 "You are the God of music.

902 You are the sun enlightening musicians."

903 The gramophone is playing there and Sadashiv's missing.

904 "You decide the destiny of an artist.

905 You bless us with the talent."

906 This gramophone isn't playing, court poet. - What?

907 "Nandalal, Murlidhar Shyam!"

908 "You are the mentor, You are the only savior."

909 Sadashiv?

910 What happened, Uma? Did I go wrong somewhere?

911 You didn't go wrong, Sadashiv. We were wrong.

912 When we came here, we thought...

913 that it was dad's singing on the gramophone.

914 But when we reached there...

915 we realised the gramophone wasn't playing...

916 it was you singing.

917 Such similarity!

918 Great!

919 This path also led me nowhere!

920 Nowhere?

921 This is the beginning of something big.

922 Sada, your voice, your singing...

923 your tenor, are so much like father's...

924 that I didn't recognise it was you for a moment. - Yes.

925 I agree.

926 I can train my voice to sing like him...

927 imitate him, but it's only an imitation.

928 I want his knowledge.

929 And unless I acquire that,.

930 I'll never make a good singer.

931 Sadashiv.

932 The same thing happened again, court poet.

933 I'm back to nothing.

934 No, Sadashiv.

935 There is one way to reach father.

936 Every year, on Maha Shivratri, father travels to Khidrapur.

937 Maybe if he's there this year too, we could find him.

938 "The sound of shell played all day."

939 "Bhasma (ash) works like your jewelery."

940 "Your jata(tied hair) looks like crown.

941 Hail Bam Bhole (Lord Shiva)"

942 "Evil fears you! You appear with tiger skin, rudraksha."

943 "You give boons to all devotees. Hail Bam Bhole."

944 "The sound of shell played all day."

945 "Bhasma (ash) works like your jewelery."

946 "Your jata(tied hair) looks like crown...

947 Baba Bhandari(Lord Shiva)"

948 "Evil fears you! You appear with tiger skin, rudraksha."

949 "You give boons to all devotees. Hail Bam Bhole."

950 "We celebrate each joy on the beats of damaru."

951 "You, Jatadhari, take away all our pain."

952 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

953 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

954 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

955 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

956 "You exist in everything on this earth."

957 "You are the light for the ones who can't see."

958 "You are the ray of hope, joy and unfulfilled desire."

959 "You are my Lord Rama! You are my Lord Krishna!"

960 "I chanted your name all day and night!"

961 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

962 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

963 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

964 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

965 "Omkareshwar- Bam Bam Bhole! Nilkantheshwar- Bam Bam Bhole!"

966 "Kedareshwar. - Bam Bam Bhole! Hail Lord Shankar. - Bam Bam Bhole!"

967 "Hail Shiv Shambho.

968 Bam Bam Bhole! Tripurari. - Bam Bam Bhole!"

969 "We celebrate each joy on the beats of damaru."

970 "You, Jatadhari, take away all our pain."

971 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

972 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

973 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

974 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

975 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

976 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

977 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

978 "Shiv Bhola Bhandari! (Lord Shiva)"

979 Zareena.

980 Father, Zareena's here.

981 Forgive me, Pandit Ji.

982 Please forgive me.

983 They say a child's good fortune...

984 is the legacy of their parents.

985 But my life is a reflection of their misfortune.

986 You lost your voice because of my father.

987 Pandit Ji.

988 I can't sing.

989 But I can talk.

990 Lord Krishna is the doer.

991 Whatever transpired was His will.

992 Everything else is just the means.

993 Does that mean you're not upset with father?

994 I worship art, my child.

995 And a man like Khan Saheb...

996 well trained, profound...

997 and passionate singer is very hard to find.

998 It's my wish...

999 that Sadashiv learns music under Khan Saheb.

1000 Zareena.

1001 Where had you been?

1002 I was at Uma's house, father.

1003 You could have asked me once before...

1004 visiting the enemy's house.

1005 Enemy?

1006 Yes, enemy.

1007 Dad?

1008 You came to Vishrampur from Meerut because of their help.

1009 It's because of them that a Muslim...

1010 girl like me could study Sanskrit.

1011 They put a roof over our heads.

1012 And you call them our enemy, dad?

1013 If Pandit Ji considered us enemies...

1014 he would never express the desire...

1015 that his disciple train to sing under you.

1016 What do you mean?

1017 Yes, father.

1018 Pandit Ji wants Sadashiv...

1019 Sadashiv to be your student.

1020 Impossible!

1021 Even assuming for once that Pandit Ji would have...

1022 asked for your hand in marriage to Sadashiv,.

1023 I probably would have even considered it.

1024 But I wont give that Pandit's disciple my knowledge...

1025 my talent...

1026 the music of my 'Gharana'. Never.

1027 Why wont you?

1028 Why do you hate Pandit Ji so much?

1029 In fact if Pandit Ji consider's us enemies.

1030 He has right to.

1031 We have wronged him.

1032 We?

1033 It was your mother's fault and I have punished her for it.

1034 By divorcing her?

1035 So that you can absolve your sins?

1036 Zareena!

1037 Your accusation is untrue.

1038 It was entirely your mother's fault.

1039 Mother did all this for her husband.

1040 She did it for your happiness, your victory.

1041 But what you did...

1042 was for your fame, your ego.

1043 To prove your a great singer.

1044 Of course. There's no contesting my singing abilities.

1045 My singing is magnificent and unparalleled.

1046 These invitations, these gifts...

1047 these requests are a proof of my talent.

1048 If you open shop...

1049 customers come eventually.

1050 Zareena!

1051 Father...

1052 if a student mixes two melodies...

1053 you disapprove of it. You can't bear it.

1054 You get overwhelmed.

1055 Then why have you mixed...

1056 so much hatred in your life?

1057 "When your heart accuse you..."

1058 "Who will justify you then?"

1059 "When your heart accuses you, who will justify it?"

1060 "How can I look into your eyes when I know I am wrong?"

1061 "Oh friend, I lose everything I have. I congratulate you."

1062 "You very well know my pain. Lord, you say it for me."

1063 "I am a liar. My existence is a lie."

1064 "I am a liar.

1065 My existence is a lie. Only your blessings are true"

1066 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1067 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1068 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1069 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1070 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1071 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1072 "A stone breaks a mirror and so your image is shattered."

1073 "A stone breaks a mirror and so your image is shattered."

1074 "All my pride and arrogance is also shattered."

1075 "My inner self is destroyed."

1076 "My inner self is destroyed, but I am holding myself strong."

1077 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1078 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1079 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1080 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1081 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1082 Sadashiv...

1083 Why have you come here?

1084 To listen songs.

1085 To listen to songs or steal them?

1086 I'm rich in my knowledge and talent. I don't need to steal.

1087 Really? Now watch.

1088 He has come to steal our songs.

1089 He wants to defeat us during the Dussehra competition.

1090 I can defeat you right now. Why wait for Dussehra?

1091 Oh God! What's he saying!

1092 Sir, he says he can defeat you any day. - Yes.

1093 How dare he!

1094 Bring the scoundrel here.

1095 Yes. Come on. Move.

1096 Move it, kiddo. Plan's to defeat sir.

1097 Usman, let him go.

1098 For God's sake Sadashiv, go home.

1099 Yeah, sure. Go home.

1100 Learn to sing from the mute.

1101 What a laugh!

1102 If you truly love music...

1103 and a true disciple of your teacher, then compete with me.

1104 Khan Saheb, what are you saying!

1105 How can you compete with this kid!

1106 Age doesn't matter, Zakir mia.

1107 He has challenged my 'Gharana'

1108 and the singing of my 'Gharana'.

1109 So, kid? Are you scared?

1110 Sadashiv!

1111 I appreciate your courage.

1112 Courage? It's called belief, Khan Saheb.

1113 The fact is, I really pity you.

1114 Your eyes deceive you, Khan Saheb.

1115 You should be be afraid of me.

1116 Sadashiv.

1117 Really?

1118 Son, it's no fun winning unless...

1119 there's a gamble involved.

1120 What's it you want?

1121 I give you the chance to place your conditions first.

1122 If I win, I want you to leave the 'Haveli.' - No!

1123 Impossible!

1124 Unfair!

1125 We wont leave the haveli.

1126 Accepted.

1127 Sir!

1128 If you lose...

1129 you will have to do my bidding for the rest of your life.

1130 Your singing will forever...

1131 be pledged to me.

1132 This is unfair, dad.

1133 I accept.

1134 Sadashiv.

1135 Pandit Ji!

1136 "The world appreciates the money."

1137 "The world injects hatred and terror in our mind."

1138 "The world is built after crushing over weak homes."

1139 "The world laughs making fun of some innocents."

1140 "The world is cunning that makes you selfish, rebel."

1141 "The world is cunning that makes you selfish, rebel."

1142 "The world is coward that never confronts the truth."

1143 "I think, this world is no more a good place to live."

1144 "A human is nothing! This world kills humanity."

1145 "Oh my Lord!"

1146 "Oh my Lord!"

1147 "Intentions, thoughts can be bad, but this world is not bad."

1148 "It is not necessary to see this world..."

1149 "from only one perspective."

1150 "The world has rain drops, ocean waves."

1151 "The world has the sound of bangle, anklets. It has music."

1152 "You will understand the world when you lose it for someone."

1153 "The world means the love of your life."

1154 "This world has poetry, colors, beats and notations!"

1155 "The world is happy, and is a very happy place to be in."

1156 "This world is Eid, Baisakhi, Diwali (Indian festivals)"

1157 "The world is maintained by humans with humanity."

1158 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1159 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1160 "Only Your blessings are true. Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1161 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1162 "Oh Lord! My Lord!"

1163 Marvellous!

1164 Beautiful!

1165 Well sung!

1166 Amazing!

1167 Praise the Lord!

1168 Amazing!

1169 Praise the Lord!

1170 Splendid!

1171 What happened to him? - He was singing.

1172 He lost his voice. - He can't sing.

1173 He is unable to sing.

1174 He choked.

1175 What a loser.

1176 Loser! - This was bound to happen.

1177 Give me your hand.

1178 Give it! - Trying to teach the master!

1179 Don't you dare challenge Khan Saheb again.

1180 You lost the bet, Sadashiv.

1181 You lived your entire life in fear...

1182 and you try to scare me of my own shadow.

1183 Pandit Ji!

1184 Pandit Ji!

1185 Pandit Ji!

1186 Pandit Ji.

1187 And you wanted...

1188 me to teach him singing?

1189 I can't make him my student.

1190 But starting today I have made him my...

1191 slave.

1192 Forgive me, Pandit Ji.

1193 I have committed a huge mistake.

1194 Forgive me.

1195 Music is the eternal gift of God, Sadashiv.

1196 You have put a wager on it.

1197 You have betrayed my trust.

1198 Pandit Ji.

1199 Until you earn it back,.

1200 I don't want to see you.

1201 Pandit Ji.

1202 Pandit Ji.

1203 Pandit Ji.

1204 Uma?

1205 Your hands are magical, Sadashiv.

1206 They can play the 'Tanpura'. They can strangle someone.

1207 And when the time comes, can also clean utensils.

1208 Hey, scoundrel.

1209 You're supposed to bring Khan Saheb some milk. Don't forget.

1210 Get some nice warm milk for Khan Saheb.

1211 Understood?

1212 Usman!

1213 Forgive me, Sadashiv.

1214 I thought it was a spittoon.

1215 What are you doing? Let it be.

1216 I feel bad to see you in such a state.

1217 It's natural too.

1218 But don't let it upset you.

1219 I'm used to it.

1220 And to tell you the truth...

1221 whatever happened is probably for the best.

1222 In the disguise of grief,.

1223 I have found happiness.

1224 What do you mean?

1225 To hear Khan Saheb sing,.

1226 I was hiding in the mosque.

1227 Today I'm in his home...

1228 listening to him practice his routine.

1229 Isn't this happiness?

1230 "My love is moving to other place."

1231 "My love is moving to another place."

1232 "Which country? Which city?"

1233 "Which city?"

1234 "Which city?"

1235 "Which city? Which country?"

1236 I have a dream, Zareena.

1237 In an immense auditorium...

1238 a gathering of the learned has arrived.

1239 It's crowded.

1240 But all those people are art lovers.

1241 The podium is vacant...

1242 yet it's not empty.

1243 Because singers of the former generation...

1244 have filled it with the knowledge of music.

1245 And this knowledge resides there.

1246 Suddenly a father-like figure gives me a sign.

1247 I rise and pay my respects to my teacher.

1248 And go and sit on the podium.

1249 I pick up the 'Tanpura' and start singing.

1250 I see the magnificent crowd.

1251 My mind wavers for a moment.

1252 But I close my eyes and sing without a care in the world.

1253 I pour my life and soul into the song.

1254 I'm unaware of the time that has passed...

1255 but at some point, my song ends.

1256 There's no applause.

1257 Only pindrop silence.

1258 Because everyone was overwhelmed. Astonished.

1259 I put my 'Tanpura' down and pay my obeisance to everybody.

1260 Suddenly an accomplished singer...

1261 the best of the very best, comes to me.

1262 He pats my back and says, 'Very good, son.'

1263 Today I am fulfilled.

1264 Keep it up. Keep singing.

1265 I can't believe my own ears.

1266 I look at my teacher, and suddenly...

1267 my vision is all hazy.

1268 I don't understand how it suddenly started raining...

1269 and then I realise...

1270 it's not the rain but my tears.

1271 That one small blessing...

1272 changed my life, Zareena.

1273 'Keep it up. Keep singing.'

1274 Every artist...

1275 lives to witness this moment once.

1276 They breathe only for that moment.

1277 'Keep it up. Keep singing.'

1278 'Keep it up. Keep singing.'

1279 'Keep it up. Keep singing.'

1280 'Keep it up. Keep singing.'

1281 "Which country? Which city?"

1282 "Which city?"

1283 "I will lose myself."

1284 "I will lose..."

1285 "Myself."

1286 "I will lose myself."

1287 "I will lose myself."

1288 "Please tell me."

1289 "Please tell me, where is my love?"

1290 "Which country? Which city?"

1291 "In which place my love has been shifted to?"

1292 "Where did my love settled down?"

1293 "Which country? Which city?"

1294 "Which country? Which city?"

1295 Sadashiv. - Yes?

1296 Uma has sent these for you.

1297 Pandit Ji's notations? Yes.

1298 "This song is amazing. It is mesmerizing."

1299 "Just like the first rain."

1300 "This song is amazing. It is mesmerizing."

1301 "Just like the first rain."

1302 "The earth smells divine."

1303 "The earth smells divine."

1304 "I lost myself. This is the victory of music. This song..."

1305 You made a mistake.

1306 Then you explain it to me. Your notes are wrong.

1307 Then show it by singing.

1308 I lost the bet. I can't sing without your father's permission.

1309 Now you can show me where I went wrong.

1310 No, Zareena.

1311 Notes are words, too.

1312 If I don't respect the written word...

1313 the notes will defy me.

1314 Sadashiv. Wait, Sadashiv.

1315 You swear on music.

1316 Uma speaks the truth.

1317 You are a wizard.

1318 "This is the victory of music."

1319 "This is the victory of the song."

1320 "I lose myself."

1321 "This is the victory of music.

1322 Listening to this song, my heartbeat"

1323 "Forgets everything, whenever I hear this, my heart craves..."

1324 "My heart is as warm as the Sun."

1325 Usman. - Yes.

1326 Come on.

1327 This lack of respect...

1328 How dare you sing the song of my 'Gharana'!

1329 You have broken the bet, Sadashiv.

1330 And you will be punished for it.

1331 Dad.

1332 Dad!

1333 You're an idiot, Sadashiv! Why did you sing?

1334 Don't you know that every man in this...

1335 house is scared of your voice!

1336 Did I say something wrong?

1337 Zareena.

1338 That's why You won't let him sing.

1339 I didn't force him to bet.

1340 He bet his voice and lost it.

1341 You could have asked for something else, dad.

1342 Why his singing?

1343 Because you were scared.

1344 You thought if his talent is honed well...

1345 he might outshine you.

1346 Lies!

1347 These are lies!

1348 Me?

1349 I don't fear anyone's singing abilities.

1350 Fourteen years.

1351 I have successively competed with that...

1352 Pandit Ji for fourteen years.

1353 I lost. But I competed.

1354 If I had been afraid to lose,.

1355 I would have never won.

1356 You almost committed suicide.

1357 Watch your mouth.

1358 Forgive me, dad...

1359 but you really are very opportunistic.

1360 Mom made a mistake, and you reaped its benefits.

1361 Sadashiv made a mistake, and you made the most out of it.

1362 If you weren't my child...

1363 this instant...

1364 you would have been thrown out of this mansion.

1365 True.

1366 If I weren't your child and if Uma...

1367 wasn't bound by her promise...

1368 the incident that took place in Agra would be public.

1369 Then there would be no 'Haveli'

1370 no singing and no... - Enough!

1371 Don't pay heed to her nonsense, Khan Saheb.

1372 I think you send her to Agra too.

1373 What?

1374 What's it that you want?

1375 Sadashiv should be allowed to sing, dad.

1376 You know what you're...

1377 asking for is impossible.

1378 Then your daughter might just betray you in the royal court.

1379 She won't give up easily. Help me.

1380 Let the promise given by Pandit Ji break.

1381 Let the whole of Vishrampur know...

1382 the position of being the royal...

1383 singer is not your right but. - ...your conspiracy. Your ploy.

1384 Dad.

1385 Take this.

1386 I return him his singing.

1387 Tell him.

1388 He can sing whenever he wants.

1389 If he wants...

1390 he can come to the podium in the court...

1391 and make a joke out of himself.

1392 "I can never forget the face of my love."

1393 "I remember my love, every moment I live."

1394 "I can never forget the face of my love."

1395 "I can never forget the face of my love."

1396 "I can never forget the face of my love."

1397 Sadashiv, stop.

1398 You're here.

1399 If you have the guts...

1400 accept the challenge.

1401 "My eyes don't accept anyone else as my love."

1402 "I am restless all night."

1403 "I am restless all night."

1404 "My eyes are filled with tears."

1405 "I can never forget the face of my love."

1406 "I cannot think anything else but my love."

1407 "I cannot think anything else but my love."

1408 "Who else can fix the mess that I am?"

1409 "Who else can fix the mess that I am?"

1410 "Smile is the only thing that engages me."

1411 "I can never forget the face of my love."

1412 "I remember my love, every moment I live."

1413 "I can never forget the face of my love."

1414 "The care-free honey bee is engrossed consuming honey."

1415 "The care-free honey bee is engrossed consuming honey."

1416 "The honey bee is engrossed consuming honey.

1417 The lovely honey-bee."

1418 "The lovely honey bee."

1419 "The care-free honey bee is engrossed consuming honey."

1420 Quiet!

1421 Khan Saheb.

1422 I apologise for my insolence, Your Majesty.

1423 But this man, Sadashiv, is a thief.

1424 He has stolen the style of 'Gharana's' singing.

1425 Sadashiv.

1426 Your Majesty...

1427 the style might be his 'Gharana's'

1428 but the song is... - Thief!

1429 Not an artist!

1430 Your Majesty...

1431 punish him for this unforgivable crime.

1432 I thought the old man has gone senile.

1433 Forgive me, Your Majesty,.

1434 But how can something that belongs to everyone be stolen?

1435 Khan Saheb, what the poet says is true.

1436 How can something that belongs to everyone be stolen?

1437 Khan Saheb...

1438 what do you have in mind?

1439 If for years the masters of our 'Gharana'

1440 hadn't explored the vast ocean of music...

1441 we wouldn't have these pearls of music today.

1442 Does His Majesty find my argument reasonable?

1443 Even if I agree with you...

1444 such an absurd incident has taken...

1445 place for the first time in court.

1446 Diwan Ji!

1447 It's true, Your Majesty.

1448 I personally feel Khan Saheb should...

1449 overlook Sadashiv's mistake.

1450 Mistake?

1451 This is not a mistake, Diwan Ji.

1452 It's a crime!

1453 He has committed a crime!

1454 I request His Majesty...

1455 to grant me my share of justice.

1456 I would like the permission to invoke my authority.

1457 What authority are you talking about?

1458 I speak of the the authority which...

1459 Your Majesty bestowed upon me.

1460 The authority to use the dagger of the royal singer.

1461 What?

1462 Pandit Ji?

1463 What's Pandit doing here?

1464 Dad.

1465 That authority...

1466 which allows the royal singer to use his dagger...

1467 to kill one person with immunity.

1468 Dad?

1469 Is this a joke?

1470 Humour is not a part of my temperament, Diwan Ji.

1471 With His Majesty's permission...

1472 I would like to remind you Khan Saheb...

1473 the dagger is for your self-defence.

1474 I suppose you aren't aware, Diwan Ji.

1475 Every artist's life and soul...

1476 reside in his art.

1477 And my art is my singing.

1478 The singing of my 'Gharana'.

1479 And to protect that... - You want to murder someone?

1480 Zareena! - Tell me, father!

1481 I want to use the right granted to me.

1482 Your Majesty.

1483 Forgive me, Pandit Ji.

1484 I'm breaking the promise I made...

1485 but I can't keep quiet any more.

1486 How many more murders do you want to commit?

1487 Murder? - Yes.

1488 Khan Saheb destroyed Pandit Ji's voice.

1489 What?

1490 Khan Saheb?

1491 Say something, Khan Saheb.

1492 That treachery was my wife's deed.

1493 I have severed all ties with her.

1494 What?

1495 Yes. I regret that incident.

1496 But that's water under the bridge.

1497 This is unfair, Your Majesty.

1498 Do I have the permission to invoke my authority?

1499 Refuse, Your Majesty. - Listen, Khan Saheb... - Your Majesty...

1500 you have to keep your word.

1501 The queen has high regards for you.

1502 Injustice shouldn't be meted out to Khan Saheb.

1503 I can't refuse, my queen.

1504 That means, blood will...

1505 be spilled here today?

1506 Do I have the permission to invoke my authority?

1507 I have given you my word.

1508 But still the court feels...

1509 that you should reconsider your decision.

1510 Your majesty, I have a...

1511 question for the court.

1512 If I was outside this court...

1513 and I would have killed this scoundrel there...

1514 would I be punished?

1515 No.

1516 Then the decision has been made.

1517 I have immunity for one murder.

1518 I'm sorry but...

1519 one murder is forgiven.

1520 Diwan Ji.

1521 Dad?

1522 Dad, why aren't you saying something?

1523 Dad?

1524 Khan Saheb...

1525 since you've finally decided to kill Sadashiv,.

1526 I have one request.

1527 Before execution...

1528 a criminal...

1529 has the right to one last wish.

1530 Sadashiv is an artist. Just like you.

1531 Respect that right of his.

1532 Tell me.

1533 Apart from life...

1534 what else do you desire?

1535 The podium where...

1536 both of my teacher's sang.

1537 I want to sit on that podium...

1538 and sing in front of them.

1539 If they like my singing...

1540 a dream I have harboured since years will be fulfilled.

1541 I'll happily let this dagger pierce my heart.

1542 What if I don't like your singing?

1543 What would be the point of living then anyway?

1544 I will myself take that dagger to my heart.

1545 I accept.

1546 Wow!

1547 Pandit Ji, you taught me this.

1548 Khan Saheb, I learned this from you.

1549 In this ocean of music...

1550 what came to my mind...

1551 would be presented to you now.

1552 "Sunshine has brighten the earth and the sky.

1553 The birds chirp."

1554 "My impatient mind freely flows like a spring."

1555 (Indian Classical Music Notations)

1556 Wow!

1557 "These heavenly music notations are just flowing."

1558 "But my heart is still longing to seek your blessings."

1559 "But my mind is filled with all the beats and notations."

1560 "My mesmerized mind can only remember you, my mentor."

1561 "The earth rotates in the universe..."

1562 "filled with music engrosses me."

1563 "May all Te dreams in your heart reach out in the universe."

1564 "Though the world is drenched in the rains...

1565 I still feel thirsty."

1566 "Please consider me once!

1567 Let my music reach out to your heart!"

1568 Wow!

1569 Wonderful!

1570 Beautiful!

1571 What's wrong, son?

1572 Sing. Keep singing.

1573 Sing, son.

1574 Forgive me, Khan Saheb.

1575 I dream I've fostered for years has been fulfilled today.

1576 My teacher applauded. The audience applauded.

1577 I want nothing else.

1578 I don't want this life either. - Sadashiv.

1579 You can now use that dagger on me.

1580 Hey!

1581 No. After sparking a flame in someone's heart...

1582 it's a crime to leave it unattended.

1583 Forgive me.

1584 Use that dagger.

1585 Fine.

1586 If that's what you wish.

1587 Khan Saheb!

1588 How can I kill you?

1589 Your Majesty, how am I supposed to do this?

1590 To kill the arrogance of any artist...

1591 this dagger is not needed.

1592 A better person is needed.

1593 Stay blessed, son.

1594 Keep living.

1595 But keep singing.

1596 I beg you.

1597 Sing.

1598 It's my wish that Sadashiv learn music from Khan Saheb.

1599 I will sing on one condition, Khan Saheb.

1600 I want to learn to sing.

1601 Make me your disciple.

1602 No, son.

1603 Don't learn anything from me. I'm not a good person.

1604 I'm not worthy enough to be your teacher.

1605 Not worthy.

1606 Sing Sadashiv.

1607 "I have no senses in my body but I can only sense my music."

1608 "I wish it exist in the universe.

1609 I wish you feel it with the wind."

1610 "Guru, please accept me as your student. I will happily die."

1611 "Just to get another life..."

1612 "I wish my music will be sweet..."

1613 "And may my music be innocent."

1614 "Let my music be free from envy, anger, revenge."

1615 "May my music stay innocent."

1616 "May my music stay innocent."

1617 'I was supposed to spill blood that day.'

1618 'But instead I was bathed in happiness.'

1619 Music has no religion, no borders,.

1620 'No bonds of a 'Gharana'.'

1621 'The bonds it does have is of the seven 'Surs'.'

1622 'Sadashiv proved that'

1623 'Music doesn't belong to anyone in particular.'

1624 'Music belongs to those who cherish it.'

1625 'It belongs to those who get engulfed in it.'
