Original subtitles

This resounding chant of 'Hare Ram Hare Krishna'..

"..has been spread by our gurus, teachers and swamis.."

..across the seven seas to Europe and America's western culture.

The culture that had been oppressed by machines of..

..its own manufacture and its economic successes..

..that had forgotten the peace of progress and tranquility..

..were ever restless for the peace of the soul.

By reaching into whom the invigorative chant of..

..'Hare Rama Hare Krishna' brought a new awakening..

..within the souls of these people.

"lt acted as an salve on their hungry, thirsty, suffering souls."

"Who are these, who without understanding the meaning.."

..of the sacred chant 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna' have..

..made their own tune for it and in its shelter are..

..swinging and rollicking to it.

'Puff away and forget your sorrows..'

"..utter morning and evening 'Hare Krishna Hare Ram..'

"These are people whose religion is Ganja, opium.."

"..hemp, cocaine, LSD and whose temple is freedom fun and dance."

These people live from moment to moment for this..

"..moment, lost in this intoxication and stupor.."

"..senseless of their own selves, and of each other.."

..of their own folks and of the society.

These people whom the world know as Hippies..

..they have no connection with life.

Whether they despise their life or love it?

Why don't we ask them? There is Jasbir there..

"..my own Jasbir, whom l loved very much, my own part.."

"..my own blood,"

"Jasbir, tell me what you want, what is in your heart.."

"..why are you like this? Jasbir. Hey, Jasbir! Jassu!"

"Jasbir? Hey, Jassu."

"Jasbir, what are you doing?"

You'd have broken the spectacles. Wear them now.

What is this noise? Don't you listen to Ayah?

Come and drink the milk.

"Oh, oh! What are you doing Jassu? Get up and drink milk."

"Prashant, give the milk. Get up and have the milk."

No. - No?

No. - No?

No. - Aren't you drinking it!?

"No. - Jasbir, my sister is such a lovely girl."

"But what does Jasbir want, what Jasbir will do, this.."

..no one has tried to find out. Neither Mummy nor Daddy.

"Mr. Jaiswal. - Yes, Ms. Swami."

You'd asked me to remind you that you have a dinner at the..

..Montreal Club today evening. Will you be going?

Go and ask Mrs. Jaiswal.

She won't mind it if l went inside and asked her?

"l don't know, go and ask her."

"Mrs. Jaiswal, may l disturb you for a second?"

What is it?

You have a party today evening.

Are you going or shall I have to call them?

Ask Mr. Jaiswal.

He said I should ask you.

Can he not come and ask me himself. He always sends you.

Go and tell him to come and ask me herself..

..and don't come before me with your accursed face.

Be grateful that we have a good girl like Ms. Swami..

..working in the office.

"lf I'd kept some sharp, beautiful girl as my secretary.."

..I'd have liked to see how you would have troubled her.

Then you would not have sent her again and again to my..

"..room to ask me something, but shut up in your own room."

Why did you break the glass? Will you do this everyday?

Look at him. He drinks the milk so sweetly without being told.

And you?

I won't drink milk sweetly.

"So, will I come after you with the glass every time?"

"Come, come here."

You don't come near me.

You've thrown the glasses away? What if it had hurt her?

"Look, put them on. If you don't put them on, you won't be.."

..able to see anything. You'll go blind.

"Take, child. Drink this."

Why are you beating the child?

"What peace have you given, that they will too?"

Why are you crying? See how quickly I had the milk?

"Prashant, Mummy said l won't be able to see anything.."

..and I'd become blind.

That she said in anger. If you'd not thrown the glasses..

..she wouldn't have said it.

I won't wear them. Everyone in school teases me.

Then don't wear them. Wear them at home and take them..

..off while in school.

But Mummy said I won't be able to see anything.

"Then wear them. Look, how nice it looks. - No!"

Look at me. - No.. no.

"Look, look.. Look here."

'The flowers and the stars say it..'

'..my sister is one in thousands..'

'..we have to live together for the whole life.'

'The flowers and the stars say it.'

'..my sister is one in thousands..

'..we have to live together for the whole life.'

'The flowers and the stars say it.'

'The world did not know why you are sad..'

'..in your thirsty eyes is the thirst for love..'

'..Come to me and tell me what you want to say.'

'You are like an innocent Japanese doll..'

'..Iike a magical potion..'

'..Mummy and daddy both think so..'

'..your sister is one in thousands..'

"..we have to live together for the whole life.'

"Prashant, have mummy and daddy returned from the club?"

"Ayah, have they returned yet?"

Oh! When do they ever return early?

"ln fact their party tonight, sleep quietly."

Where was the need for such drama?

You did the drama or did l?

I did a drama by dancing with Ms. Lal. You were dancing too.

There is a big difference between dancing..

..and clinging and necking and that too..

..with a third-class woman..

Mind your tongue. You've been drinking too much.

Not so much that I couldn't see your antics with Ms. Lal..

"lf you saw it, you should understand it, shouldn't you?."

What!?

That the time has come for me to tell you that I have..

..no love for you at all because you do not love me.

That I love Ms. Lal because she loves me.

And that is no longer proper for me to continue living with..

..a woman who doesn't care for me.

And the time has come for us to separate from each other.

"Yes, so that she comes here. In my house. In my place."

And keep your bed warm. Let the witch come here.

I'll slap her face with my shoe and throw her..

..out of the window.

Whores such as her are sold for two paisa..

..in all the Montreal clubs.

I have been watching you for 3 years now..

"..one day with one, tomorrow with another."

Whom did you call a whore?

Throw this glass at Ms. Lal's face.

Who did you hit with the shoe?

"Don't think for a minute that, if you have taken her to heart.."

..you can kick me away.

I am your husband.. your husband.

Either you go away from here.. or I will and will return..

..only after your accursed presence is no longer here.

And don't think that I am bluffing. I have already got..

.. the divorce papers ready. I knew this was coming.

You'll remember me when I am gone.

I'll ring my brother to come and take me away.

"Why should I live here, in a home where there is.."

..neither peace nor harmony nor quiet nor respect.

My parents always said that without telling us you are..

"..marrying someone abroad, it shouldn't happen one day that.."

I'll take my children away.

"Whether the children are yours or mine, the court will decide."

I have already arranged for them to go to boarding school.

Jasbir will go from here to St. Mary's and..

Neither Jasbir nor Prashant will live here.

They will both be going back with me to lndia.

How can you expect one who couldn't take care of his wife..

..to take care of his children?

"We are going back to our country, Mummy?"

Will Jassu be coming with daddy?

"Child, the court has taken Jassu from me."

Your father didn't want that Jassu should..

..come with us to lndia.

"You are her brother, aren't you?"

"When you are older, get her back to lndia yourself."

"Now, you are neither a Ms. Nor Lal.. Mrs. Jaiswal."

Daddy.. daddy..

"What happened, Jassu. Have you had a nightmare?"

Tell me what happened.

Where is Prashant? Call Prashant. I will go to Prashant.

I've sent Prashant to lndia with your mummy.

You can go to meet him when you are older.

Then Mummy and Prashant won't be coming back?

"Look, child. Children need to be good education.."

..so that they can become clever when they are..

..older and able to stand on their feet.

That is why sometimes they have to go..

..far away from their homes.

Prashant will now study in lndia.

"And we'll send you to St. Mary's, the boarding school.."

..so that when you grow up you..

You don't talk to me. - Jassu!

Is that how you talk to your elders?

"Now, she is your mother. - No, she is not my mother."

It will be better if you would sent her away soon..

..to the boarding school. And she will improve.

"Come, give her to me. I'll put her to bed, you take rest."

"Come, child. Now lie down quietly and.."

..if you cry then ghost will come from that door.

"Ayah, when will Prashant come back?"

"Prashant will never come back, child."

Why?

Because your daddy has divorced your mummy.

That is your new mother.

Then my own mother isn't my mummy any longer?

Has she left me and gone away?

"Think that your mother is dead, child. For ever and ever."

And also Prashant with her.

Is Prashant also dead?

"Yes, Prashant is also dead."

"Else, wouldn't he have been here right now?"

"Ha God taken him away? - Yes, child."

That's right. Both your mother and Prashant are dead.

But Daddy was saying that he's sent him away to lndia.

"No, child, he was lying so that you are not upset."

"Mummy, I am fine in school."

Mohan and Arjun are my fast friends now.

"But I miss you, daddy and Jassu very much."

"Whenever a plane flies overhead, I feel like sitting.."

..it and flying away to Montreal.

I will also be a pilot when I grow up and fly away..

..to Canada whenever I feel like.. Your son.

Prashant.

"Today, after so many years daddy has sent a mail."

He sent a long telegram and all the memories of childhood..

..and of Montreal have come alive.

I am seeing Jasbir again before my eyes..

..just as she did 16 years ago.

"What we were told that she is dead, is wrong."

Jasbir is alive and she is in Khatmandu.

I am leaving by the next flight to Khatmandu and am..

..sending you a ticket for the next flight for Khatmandu..

..so that you can come there.

The valley looks very beautiful from up here..

..how is Khatmandu?

"Prashant, this is your first flight to Khatmandu, isn't it?"

That is why I plan to enjoy leave here.

I have said bye to the arlines guys for a month.

"You know Captain Kapoor? - Yes, yes."

He will be accompanying you in Delhi.Now we are not getting...

"...any signals, One air craft has landed and another is to take off."

Come. Let's fool around a bit.

We'll have a round of Khatmandu.

Look that is the Svayambhu Temple.

"Oh. Masina, you are still here. You were to bring.."

..flowers for the deity from down

"Coming, Shastri."

"Oh, brother, You are seem to be making a lot of money today."

Don't forget to offer a share to God.

The money belonging to the disciples of God must be put..

..at the feet of God. Where else will it go?

"Yes, people, the plane is gone, now turn you heads here."

The Swayambhu Temple is 2000 years old and 20 to that..

..because your humble servant is going about for the last20..

..years saying the same thing to his..

..tourist brothers and sisters.

"Look, look"

Oh! Haven't you people ever seen a plane before?

"Come on; Come in carry on with the work. Come, hurry up."

"Sathi! -Yes, sir."

Darn it!

"How is work, Shanti?"

Are there any increases in the sales here after your coming?

"What to say, Mr. D.. D Dronacharya."

yesterday only manager told me...

...From the time you have kept Shanti here as a salesgirl..

..three times more t.. t.. tourists..

..have started coming to the shop.

And I have started coming on rounds here every other day.

"That's right, Mr. Dronacharya."

In fact you should come here every day.

Why not? All this belongs to you.

Had you not looked upon us with benevolent eyes..

..how would we have got this place to establish this centre?

You spoke correctly of benevolent eyes.

"Benevolent eyes are needed. What, Shanti?"

"Was Saathi right, that l should come here every day?"

But not tomorrow Mr. Drona because tomorrow is the..

..Bhagpur fair and Shanti and Saathi have to make..

..preparations along with our villagers for the dance..

..before the Gods.

I hope it isn't going to crash.

"Look, what wonderful dresses. Only one would long for them."

I am longing. Come here.

You come here.

You'd told me that you would increase my salary.

I promise you that it will be increased.

Look outside; people have come to buy clothes.

There. That is Soaltee.

Is that Soaltee.

Yes the most fashionable hotel here.

Always full of beautiful and fair babes.

"Hey! I mentioned babes and you got lost, Prashant?"

"ls your father alive, Ravi?"

You are landing in Khathmandu and concerned about daddy?

Its been 3 years since he died.

"When parents die, children weep and forget them.."

"..in a short while and as time passes, the sniveling of their.."

memories also become slowly weaker.

But when the parents are alive and they are away from the..

..children and the children cannot meet them..

..maybe you cannot realize how that feels.

"Your father was in Canada, wasn't he?"

"Yes, Canada.. Montreal."

"And I remained in lndia, in boarding schools."

In the last 16 years my father has written me only 3 letters..

..and only 1 in the last 12 years.

"But suddenly, last week he wrote to say that I was a pilot.."

..in an airlines and surely flights would be going there..

"..and even if not, take leave and reach there."

..and let me know.

"There, in the newly opened Soaltee Hotel, there is a.."

..casino as you enter the hotel.

Immediately on the left there is a disco..

..it is possible that you might..

Where are you? I've been here so long.

"Let me have a breath, Mihir, get me a beer first."

One beer.. I am very thirsty.

One beer.

"Now, come. Let me see how much you can dance."

I'll tire you out.

I'm sorry.

"Not hurt, are you?"

Let me take a few breaths more.

Let me have my spects first. I'd like to see who you are.

"Thank you. Now, hold my hand."

Who told you to do it?

Like the face? - Very much.

Even with the glasses?

Do you really think that no one but you can wear glasses?

"What a great girl Janice is, mate."

This disco is going places since she has..

..arrived in Khatmandu.

What name did you say? - Janice.

Janice.

Give me a brandy.. Quickly.

One more.

"lf you are waiting here for Janice, get out of here."

Looks like you are her only beau here.

"lf you have any doubts, you needn't have any."

"No, I have no doubts."

And don't get any wrong ideas watching her dance like that.

"Mihir, is my friend and she knows it.."

..and all us friends share our things.

One brandy.. Neat.

Since when do you know Janice?

Janice. Janice. I'm waiting outside.

You are running away without answering me.

How long have you been in Khatmandu.

Not even a day.

And Janice has been here for two months now and I have..

..known her from the day she landed.

"lf someone were to come between us, then.."

"Janice! Come on, we are getting late."

Tell the waiter to serve another beer. Then we'll go.

Four beers and the bill with it.

"No, thank you. One beer for Janice and I'll pay."

"lf the gentleman wants to drink, he is welcome to sit.."

..here and drink and need not try to mix with us.

"You seem very annoyed, Deepak."

"Look, I am offering you all some beer and.."

..your friend is suddenly gets very annoyed.

"Oh, Come on, Deepak, be a sport."

You are turning down a free offer?

"Let's have the beer. Get the beer, waiter."

Who will have some beer?

"And for a change, don't give the bill to Deepak.."

..but to this gentleman here.

"Thank you, waiter. Thank you."

Here have one more brandy.

"And here is your full bill, 7 brandies and 12 beers."

"That does away with your commission, Michael."

This time offer me some more commission. I'll take it.

Because had these ancient idols stolen from temples not..

"..been smuggled out by this flight, you were in trouble."

Absolutely.. absolutely.

"That is why I give you full credit, Michael."

I think the police had begun to suspect us.

"Long live, Michael. Long live Mr. Drona."

Till such time as these hippies live around here and till..

"..Michael runs this bakery for them, there is no way anyone.."

..can know about the thefts and the thieves. - That's why..

"Dorothy, baby."

They must all be at the bakery.

You'd like to visit my palace first or go to the bakery.

We'll go to the bakery.

Come. - We'll go to the bakery.

"Michael, those were your own people."

They're going to the bakery. Good night.

"Hello, Janice. I haven't received my overdue rent yet."

I hope I don't have to turn you and your friends out.

"You'll get the rent, Mr. Drona. Give us a little more time."

I'll tell everyone.

You seem stoned.

Daddy has written that I will find her dancing at the disco..

..and I think I've met her but why do these..

..people call her Janice.

And I have..

Why don't I call Montreal directly?

Daddy. - Oh! Who? Prashant!?

I am speaking from hotel Manasullu in Khatmandu.

"Do you recognize my voice, daddy?"

"Yes, yes, son. How are you? Your voice.."

It would have been very easy to recognize her had you sent..

..me a recent photograph of Jassu's.

"So, you couldn't recognize her?"

"How couldn't l? She is my sister, after all."

But I wanted to ask if she had taken another name..

..after we came to lndia?

Not at all. But maybe she might have done it out of fear.

She'd run away with some money about a year ago..

..and might not be telling her true name out of..

..fear of the police.

She'd become quite an outlaw before she ran away from..

..here and we thought for a year that she might have..

..been in an accident and.. hello?

And listen. I have a good friend there..

"..an lnspector General of Police, Thakur."

I have also written to him and make sure you meet him.

I'm trying to take the next flight out.

I'll send a wire as soon as the ticket is confirmed.

Oh! Let it be.

You are going all the way to Khatmandu to meet Jassu.

Does she even remember that she has a father.

"As it is, she is missing for a year and she never left her.."

..friends and came to meet you earlier.

In the back row as far as studies are concerned and in..

..the forefront in all this hooliganism.

Had she been my own daughter and had failed..

"..so miserably, l have given her a punishment."

Can you tell me where there young boys and girls live..

..in Khatmandu? All these who go about looking like hippies.

"Sir, now go to sleep. Meet them in the morning."

"You'll find them on the roads, in the bazaars.."

..at all the crossroads.

But you can try at Swayambhu first.

These people are singing here from the times of Rama and..

..Lakshmana and l have detained them here..

..today just for you.

"Oh, my brothers. Move away."

The lines of your destiny have brought you to Swayambhu..

..and I am sure something wonderful is going to happen.

Remember what I am saying. I am speaking the truth.

"The Lamas live here. If you get lost in Nepal, to find it again.."

..you will get peace at Budha's feet.

And Shanti is such a wonderful dancer.

"lf she lifts her eyes, there is fire all around."

"And my name is Sushant, the opposite of Shanti.."

"..Shanti.. Sushant, and only Sushant can take.."

..you to Shanti.

Give me an opportunity to serve you.

Every tourist from this world has taken something or..

"..the other from Sushant, only you remain."

Early this morning I heard the voice of God telling me that..

there is come a man from lndia whom you will find..

..roaming around in Swayambhu..

..be sure to help him.

My eyes also see the one that you are searching for.

If you have put a spot on your head and think of God..

..He will get in sooner into your mind.

Why did you stop? I am also among the lost.

When did you turn into Janice from Jasbir?

What did you say?

When did you change your name?

What name?

Jasbir Jaiswal.

"Here if you Dorothy, James, Meena, lnder have all.."

"..got the spot, let's go. It's getting late."

That man has started following me. Do you like it?

If you wish to stay in Khatmandu..

..don't follow Janice after this.

Take the help of God and the journey will be fruitful.

"Else, the girl will give you such a run-around the if all the.."

..priests in Pashupati pray for you together..

Do they all live here together in this building?

"We'll find out in a moment. Hey, you Masina!"

"Yes, brother Sushant."

Who'd come up just now. - No one.

Does someone else live here?

Or have you given the place on rent?

"No, not at all. Shastri won't give his house on rent."

Where did these people who'd just come up?

Which people?

The young boys and girls who had just come.

I don't remember.

What's your name?

How much do you lie every day?

"Sir, I live in a temple and speak nothing but the truth."

Then why did you not reply properly to our question?

"Sir, actually, the gave me 2 rupees and asked me not to.."

..tell anyone that they had come here. Did I tell you?

"Sir, they are my friends and I eat and drink.."

..with them sometimes.

"Sir, Masina never lies and that's the truth."

He's like my younger brother and there is nothing known..

..about his mother and father.

"Sir, there he is lying. All the Gods and Goddesses in,,"

..this temple are my fathers and my mothers.

"He is speaking the truth, sir, it is believed all over in.."

..Khatmandu that Masina has dropped directly from..

..the skies and that's why they never refuse him anything.

"l am very pleased to meet you. - Me too, sir."

"Will you be my friend. - Sure, sir."

And I promise that I will never tell you to lie for me.

And I will help you in every truthful task.

"Okay, tell me. These people who have just gone down.."

..where do they go? What do they do?

"They are very nice people, sir."

They never quarrel with anyone. They have fun.

"They just sing, drink, sleep, roam and eat."

We call them English hippies in Khatmandu.

I will introduce you to them.

"How good you are, Masina."

"But, sir, don't try to buy me out."

"But I will take you where those hippies are, for sure."

"Oh, Yes! That you ask Sushant. Today is the Bhagpur fair."

The whole of Khatmandu comes there.

This we will spend on the taxi fare.

Everywhere you will see Shanti and you..

will forget all the English hippies. Shanti!

The Shanti of this Sushant's heart. I know her very well.

I will introduce her to you.

Sheer drapes

Chandan! Give me my flask of brandy.

Oh! Don't disturb me. What is this I am seeing in the crowd?

These two guys seem to be always with her.

How did she become a hippie?

Hey! Who is this? Who is this youth standing in the middle?

You watch Shanti's dance. I'll just be back.

"Hey, mister! Get out of the way.. Hey!"

Did you throw that piece of stone?

You think I should have thrown a pebble? Spoilsport.

"lf you want to have more fun, l give you such a kick that your.."

..eyes that are glued to the binoculars will see..

..the world going round.

Who is this fellow?

"Don't be so angry, sir. My boss is just joking with you."

"Look there, he is looking at things there."

"Come. Come, come. Have a look, man."

If the frock is little bit higher..

"Look, look."

You think yourself quite a chap when it comes to the..

"..matter of girls, don't you?"

"lf your blood boils so much, let me see you and hold her.."

..by the hand. Let us see how much courage you have.

"Dozens will stand before me, if I only whistle once."

My name is Drona.

Surprising that you haven't heard of me yet.

I keep the whole town at the tip of my shoe.

The tip of my own shoe is no less.

Look at Shanti and his eyes will be riveted there.

The heart will thump more with pleasure and the..

..wave of happiness that will flow.

"Here, take this local brew."

Have a couple of swigs with me and there will be a burst..

..of color in the eyes and the dance will look more colorful.

"Go on, sir, take it."

"Take it, sir. Don't refuse it. It's your money."

"lf you look there, lightning will strike and.."

..the bottle will fall from the hand and will be shattered.

Don't break the heart of a Nepali.

Our friendship will become firmer with the..

..clinking of glasses.

Oh! Meet the gentleman. He's come specially to meet you.

"Hey, Shanti. Why are you looking there. Look here."

I have brought so many photographers for you.

"Your photos will be clicked in the blink of an eye,."

"Bravo, my darling. Love for you is the greatest in my heart."

It shouldn't happen that your sighs are shattered like the..

..Ienses of your binoculars and cameras..

..and her other admirers whisk her away.

I do not have the excuse of a camera but I will surely carry..

..your image in my heart.

"Sir, she is very happy with what you say. Shanti is looking here."

"Throw your arrows with care, Shanti."

"ln fact, it will be more profitable if you.."

..kept on throwing them here.

When the eyes cannot rest on someone..

"..they are turned away, sir."

There is such charm in these eyes that it will even..

..pierce the back and reach the heart.

O Kancha!

"Oh, sir. Don't leave it. Shanti is sold on you."

"She's called you Kancha, which in Nepali is said.."

..to a romantic guy.

"'Oh, my God, he is known as my lover.."'

'everyone will watch while he takes me away by the hand.'

'Oh what do my chimes say..'

"'he should be like this, the one who will lift my veil."'

"' Oh, innocent and fair and handsome be my lover.."'

'Oh what do my chimes say..'

'Wherever from the stealer of my heart passes..'

"'.Oh, my God, there will be such a big clamor.."'

'..the belles will all peek from the garrets..'

"'.whoever sees him, says that her heart is wavering.."'

'He'll take me with him alone to the fair..'

'..he'll take me with him..'

'..and deck me with glass bangles in seven colors..'

'..and also get me earrings from the bazaar..'

"'.whenever he speaks he never says no, always yes."'

'Like you.. Eh..'

"'Not like you, not like you.."'

"'.O God, is there someone like me.."'

'..If there is let him come before me..

"".make my heart, unravel my tangled hair.."'

'Oh what do my chimes say..'

"'he should be like this, the one who will lift my veil."'

At least come and met my photographer friends.

They have come from Europe and America to cover this..

..most important event in Khatmandu for their magazine.

I told them there cannot be a better personage than Shanti..

..in the whole town at the time of this fair.

Only Namashkar won't do. You'll have to come at night.

I have called them to the Casino.

They will also interview you.

"My name is Prashant, Mr. Drona."

Please excuse me if there have been any excesses.

"Normally, I am a person of quiet mien, but some you.."

..some these and some Shanti has enthused me..

Greetings.

Stupid! Why did you need to throw that garland to that man?

Didn't you like it when he took care of Drona right and..

..didn't let Drona come near that girl.

"Suppose he comes again after you to seek you out, then?"

Listen.

Had I gone away without thanking you..

..it would have been wrong of me.

"ln any case, you stopped short of putting a spot on my head.."

.which I did not at all like.

What if I put a spot on your forehead?

Do it and see. It's been years since I've had someone do it.

"John, Deepak, Mihir, Dorothy, Jean, Jane.."

"..Meena, lnder come here."

There is only one shortcoming. Take off the glasses.

They spoil the looks. Look how bad it makes me look.

"No, in fact, it looks smarter Look, doesn't it look better?"

"I'm beginning to hate you, Janice."

"Wherefrom did I hear the word hate? What, Deepak?"

"John, Mihir, Dorothy, Jean, Jane, Meena, lnder.."

..throw Deepak out of our circle.

We have no place in our group for someone who will hate.

Okay then go. Bye-bye to you and your group.

Take this.. and this. Drink and abuse me all the..

..more and go with him.

Don't come back to me. I'll see how long he remains with you.

It's been two months since I have been roaming.

..around like a dog with you.

"Ask Neil, John and Greg. I've fought with my parents for you."

And you.. If you too want your name to be among the..

"..martyrs, then go ahead."

One more dog will be seen around wagging his tail.

"Deepak! Deepak. Deepak, what is this you have said?"

Do you know who I am? And this Janice? Come here.

"Will you go with him, Janice?"

Janice.. Janice?

"lf you think you can come between us in this way, then.."

..every time you will have to take a slap in the face like this.

It is not good to burn too much.

Share some brandy with me and you'll feel cool.. Anil.

"Don't offer me brandy, Mr. Drona."

It feeds the fire and it won't be right for you.

So much anger over such a small thing!

Many like her crawl around Khatmandu like mice.

"Between us, I'll have her picked up any time.."

Oh! Why do you hurt my guest?

Go on with your business. Go on now.

All this wouldn't have happened had you..

..not followed that girl and come here.

There is blood on your face. Wipe it.

Or take your garland back.

"Sir, you win the battle only if you shed some blood."

Come. Let's have one more drink. Come on.

Oh! Sushant and Masina Someone's stolen my wallet.

I won't find it in this crowd. Maybe it fell off somewhere.

"Sir, how much money did you have in it?"

Whatever l'd brought to Nepal was in it.

I made a mistake. I should have left it in the hotel.

"Sir, if you've dropped it, you will surely find it."

No one in Nepal steals.

A wallet full of money has been lost.

"lf anyone has found it, please return it. Please return it."

"Sir, I have 5 rupees collected. Maybe these can be of use."

"Whatever I had, were yours and those I spent in the fair."

There's an idea. Let's go to the casino in the evening.

Maybe his 5 rupees prove lucky.

"Yes, that's also possible, sir."

You are both very innocent.

"lf you have 5 rupees in all, even gambling.."

..doesn't help you.

"Sir, come with me. - Where?"

Don't ask questions. Just come.

"Come on, come on."

"Do you see this, sir. This is our God."

"Sir, once I cried. I cried a lot."

"He said ' Masina, my son, never cry, never shed tears."

You will never be short of anything in your life.'

"And after that, everyone in the whole town calls me his own."

Some call me son and some brother.

"Sir, he's right."

I'll say some thing in God's ear and you play in the..

..casino in the evening.

Maybe you will get back the money you have lost.

"But 5 rupees are hardly anything to bet with, Masina."

I'll get back only according to my stake.

"Sir, I have spoken to God and to fulfill it is now my job."

Aunt! I need some money.

"So, what are you doing there? Come upstairs and take it."

"Here, Masina, my son. I too have 10 rupees to give you."

Take it if they will do for you.

"Kamo, Bano, Chunu, Munnu. I need some money."

Come with me.

"Now, make your call.Seven. - Six Three!"

"What did I tell you, sir. This is money charmed by the Gods."

Who's allowed this boy to come into the casino?

Children are not allowed here.

The gentleman is my friend and I have come here..

.with the blessings of God.

You are gambling with children?

Play with someone who knows how to play.

"Sir, play only once ore."

Masina is right.

God hasn't given us permission..

..to play more than thrice.

"Sir, just throw the dice like you did the previous two times."

Why do you want kids to get into the habit of drinking beer?

"lf your mouth is getting dry, then take this."

Play like gentlemen. What is this? All of you against one?

"Then, I will deal with him myself."

One beer.

So that your wounds do not get infected.

"Pick it up, Masina. You and Sushant share it."

"l wasn't to blame for this in any way, Mr. Drona."

Your kerchief.

Now let it remain with you.

Maybe Mr. Drona might ask you for it.

He has his own. A silken one. He'll use that.

What are you all doing here? Mind your business.

Go and following and see where he goes.

You neither know how to lose nor how to take a beating.

This is the biggest fault with you moneyed fellows.

And a lot of lies to boot.

You lied to me that journalists from the world over..

..are coming and there was a party.

They'll interview you. Come on over.

Where are all of them?

"After your father's death, I brought you and.."

..your mother here. Is that how you will repay me?

Is that how you repay me for saving you from hunger?

Those who do from compassion don't show it.

Not compassion. I want to show you love.

I have everything. I make a sign and everyone obeys.

"lf love were a trade, maybe I would have said yes to you."

"But, alas! It cannot be bought."

You have finished Drona's chances.

Take her away and the whole of Nepal will be left gawking.

I've been at it for years and haven't bee able..

..to hold her hand.

What nonsense do you talk about Shanti?

I have been watching your antics fro morning.

Is that the only way left for getting money..

..out of the gentleman?

"lf the gentleman want, take him to a low bazaar and.."

..don't ever speak the name of Shanti before him again.

"Sir, Shanti is not a vagabond girl."

If this fellow has said anything untoward to you about her..

..it is not correct. Please get it out of your mind.

Ask Shanti what she wants.

Have you all been made responsible for Shanti?

There Drona puts on airs because he is rich and..

"..because he is the boss and this fellow, just because l.."

"..chose him as a dance partner, he thinks he owns me."

"And you, you keep taking my name in order to.."

..increase your tourist trade.

You don't listen to anyone. Just do what pleases you.

"Why, brother. You heard what Shanti just said?"

I haven't seen whether he has any money..

..or is absolutely broke.

Wow! This is enough money for everyone..

..to pay Mr. Drona's rent.

Last night we felt very bad when that dirty Mr. Drona..

..said that if we did not give him the rent within the week..

..he would throw us all out of the bakery.

"This afternoon when l prayed so hard, that God has.."

..thrown money all over me.

I have got everyone's rent with me.

"And Deepak, if someone asks you for credit with rent.."

"..as an excuse, just refuse him."

And waiter. Keep before us all that has been made.

Today these people will eat so much that they won't feel like..

..eating again through out the year.

'Puff away.. and let your sorrows melt away..'

'..and chant morning and evening Hare Krishna Hare Ram..'

'Hare Krishna Hare Ram..'

'Hare Krishna Hare Ram..'

'What has the world given to us..'

'.what have we taken from the world..'

'why should we bother about the everybody..'

'.what has everybody done for us.'

"Look, you crazy guys, don't do this."

Don't defame the name of Lord Ram.

"Understand Ram, know Krishna. Wake up, you careless."

Win over your mind by reading the Gita.

There is no other victory than winning over the mind.

Don't let your life be a slave to intoxication.

Ram abandoned all pleasures with a smile.

You are escaping from the problems because you are scared.

Krishna taught us the theory of karma.

You have turned away from your duties.

"Save us, O Lord Ram."

Life is the second name for work. So don't sit idle.

What are our men doing there?

We told them to smash him.

But those stupid guys are watching standing there.

They can't even throw a bottle properly.

"lf we stay here longer, we'll be in danger."

I just now saw inspector Thapa coming here.

Who? Inspector Thapa? Tell me.

In the casino hippies are doing some troublesome job. We need your orders.

What is the need to ask for that?

"Sir, your son is with them. - What? He is with them?"

"There's blood on your face! - It's on your face, too."

"lf you don't stop this chaos within a minute, I'll order to fire."

It's my dad. - Since the day you have come..

"..to Katmandu, you have been creating nuisance."

Leave this place and go back to your own camps.

Or else whoever remains here till the morning will lose their visas.

You'll be trapped in this country.

"You are doomed to day, Deepak."

"Who? Deepak? Come on, get out."

Take him to my car. I'll ask your dad right now..

.whether he'll like to keep you in jail or in his house.

Get out. Get all of them out and put them in the police van.

You think you can save yourself by hiding?

"Put him behind the bars, first of all."

"No, dad. I was sitting here just like that."

"lf you want to sit here among the hippies, don't come to my house."

I'll smash you. Come out.

"lnspector, if you put them in the jail, even the jail would swell."

Leave them after warning them once.

And tell them that if they create such..

"..riots again, they will not be spared."

Go. All of you can go. But consider this as a last warning.

Janice! - Why are you following me?

"lf I get the answer to my question, I'll try not to follow you."

Go away. - After leaving Canada you come over here.

Isn't your name Jasbeer Jaiswal?

Didn't I tell you on the phone that it is not like that?

Isn't your father's name Jaiswal? - Don't utter his name.

"And your mother's name.. - My mother has died, and my father, too."

Now go from here.

Jasbeer! - Leave me. - Try to remember something.

You are recalling something.

Let me live. I want to live.

Jasbeer has been dead since long.

"Your son, Mr. Deepak, is detained at my place."

I have no intentions of releasing him..

..even if you come yourself to bail him.

Neither do I have intentions of bailing him.

It would be better if you jail him for all life.

They have created nuisance in the whole city.

I myself am tired of his stupid and irresponsible behavior.

"Here, listen yourself."

Your dad has the same opinion about you as I do.

"Aren't you ashamed? This beard, long hair.."

"..Iice in your hair, and this layer of dirt on your bodies?"

I don't understand why do you need..

"..to meet such barbarous, wicked people."

"You are mistaken, daddy. Neither are they barbarous nor wicked."

Then what are they? The messiah of contemporary era?

"Your ideas are old fashioned, uncle."

"And don't forget, dad, that there is a whole ladder missing between us."

There is a gap of whole generation between you and us.

Our free ideas.. - Stop talking rubbish.

The only gap between you and me is that as soon as..

"..I give you a slap, all your stupid ideals will be evaporated."

Go and see yourselves in the mirror. You look like monkeys!

"You are playing the guitar, so you must be worried."

Where were you? - Was preparing the pipe for you.

I knew you would ask for it as soon as I come.

"And l, too, have got the payment ready."

"Next time if he asks for Rs. 2000, just throw that on his face."

"l told you I'll be late tonight, didn't l?"

I could have locked the door from outside..

..so that you won't be disturbed when I return.

Can I sleep if you were going to return so late in the night?

"Don't worry about me, mother."

Because Shanti is your daughter..

..and she can take care of herself.

Go to sleep. I'll change up.

How could I stop worrying about you?

"You have returned so late, and now you are going out again."

What is all this going on? Come here and tell me.

I'll tell you the whole truth. Just trust your daughter.

"Masina, if we spend the night here, would God feel bad about it?"

How wouldn't he? There are thousands of houses in Nepal.

Wouldn't he be upset to know that you..

..couldn't find a place even in one of them?

I've come to take you. I'll take you to my home.

Where is your home? - Nearby. Over there.

Who is there in your family? - My mother.

And who besides her? - Besides her is me.

"And who else? - And God. - God is here, too. And also Shanti."

So why don't we let your mother sleep in peace..

..and we three spend the night here at the feet of God?

"Sir, to spend the night I have a home."

"lf you are tired of talking, come to my house."

Mr. Shastri sleeps sound in the second room.

He won't even come to know.

"Have you seen your face, Shanti?"

"And have you seen yours? - Yes, I can see something."

I am a simple girl of Nepal. But perhaps you like the hippy girls more.

They wear bright clothes and are tall.

How did you know my choice so soon?

"l, too, can dress up like them."

Ok. Tell me frankly what is going on in your mind.

Why do you jump into problems so often?

Perhaps that is my fate.

Did that girl hurt you very badly? - Which girl?

"l had seen everything. - Do I look sad, Shanti?"

Very much. One needs such eyes to realize that.

"You, too, are sad, Shanti. - That is why I have come here."

Why? - So that we might share our sorrows and be a bit happy.

There are so many people who like you. Why are you sad?

"One is embarrassed of a lie, not the truth."

Are you seeing that? - I have never been so hurt.

"Shanti, I don't know whether l am doing the right thing. - Why?"

"Because the task I have come here for, should not remain incomplete."

If I wander off with you.. - Then wander off. Perhaps I can help you.

"No, you can't do anything. I can't tell you or anyone anything."

What? - Nothing. Don't ask me anything right now.

I will never again ask you anything.

Because I have faith that whatever you'll do will be right.

And God will be with you.

That idol is made of gold. In America its price..

".won't be less than $ 50,000, that means 5 -6 lakhs."

What might be a better opportunity than tonight to steal it?

"We can steal this idol, and can accuse those.."

..two lovers for all the past and future robberies.

"Hey you, is Mr. Shastri asleep?"

Who is it? Oh! it's you. So late in the night?

It isn't late yet. This is the right time for..

..the worshippers to pray to God in peace.

I remembered after finishing my prayers that..

..I have a cheque ready for the temple. I'll send it with him.

thank you Drona sir.

May God give you a long life and make you successful.

I just need your blessings.

"Mr. Shastri, is this the same tourist who.."

..kept fighting with people the whole morning?

But what is he doing here in this temple at this hour with Shanti?

"Well, why should we mind when Mr. Shastri is here?"

"Ok, Mr. Shastri. Greetings. Forgive me if I have been rude."

Mother says the same thing..

..that we consider guests as God in Nepal.

"lf you come to my house with me, mother, too, will be happy."

But what will your mother guess?

"Who is he, what is he, where has he come from?"

He is unnecessarily claiming his right over my daughter.

And what if I give you that right at this moment?

Shanti! - I will wait for you.

Hey! The golden idol of God is missing!

Who is this person who keeps stealing the idols of God?

Has happened 5 times before.

"There was an article about this in the newspapers, too."

"Yes, I had read that, too. Strange! Robbery, that too in a temple?"

This is the 6th robbery in last 4 months.

And the whole police department is sleeping.

Take out the files which were prepared for the previous robberies.

And also the name of those persons whom we can suspect.

I want to handle this case myself.

All the files of previous thefts are being revised.

Inform Michael not to keep the idol with him.

Tell him to hide the idol somewhere..

..till we arrange to send it out of the country.

"And listen, what did you do about my cheque for the temple?"

I am going there.

Mr. Shastri!Where are you?

What is this happening in our temples every few days?

I've come with the cheque from Mr. Daroga.

And I find out that the statue of God is missing!

"Masina, who was remaining in the temple after we all left?"

"The prayers were completed there and.. Well, forget all that."

There are many a tourists who keep coming to this place.

"Yes, tell me. - Mr. Shastri, it is like accusing our own Shanti."

"lf you suspect anyone, it is your duty to reveal his name."

"Masina, what is the name of that tourist? Yes, Prashant."

Someone else was also saying that Prashant..

..and Shanti were standing here for long last night.

"And after Shanti went away, he was.."

..roaming around the temple for long.

This is not possible. Mr. Prashant is accused falsely.

He cannot do such a thing.

Who is accusing him? In such a situation everyone is suspected.

"What do you say, brothers? - Yes."

"Yes, we can suspect him."

"What did he have to do, that he kept roaming around the temple?"

"Are you sure he will come? - Yes, mother."

And I am sure that he won't come.

I kept awake all night seeing you awake.

Now I see that you have been standing..

..by the window looking on the street.

It is beyond my understanding how can..

..one acquaint so soon with a stranger.

Ask my heart and it will say..

..that by now he must have left the Kathmandu by now.

"lts only early morning, Deepak. I am feeling sleepy."

I had to run away leaving you alone last night.

"Now you go, I'll tell you in the morning."

It is already morning.

I came to know last night how much you love me.

"Believe me, if Meet's daddy wouldn't have dragged us.."

Daddy! Daddy! Every time it is daddy!

What favor have our parents done by bringing us to this world?

It was their moment of joy and pleasure..

..that we are brought in this world now.

They could have asked our opinion.

We would have told them our wish.

Stop sprinkling philosophy!

"You know, daddy is insisting on auctioning our shop of outfits."

Come. We should reach the boutique before daddy does.

What did you say? He is auctioning the clothes?

That means he is distributing everything to the needy?

Get out my trousers. And help me wear these stockings.

And pull up my zipper before your dad auctions my night suit.

Mr. Shastri and Mr. Sathi are saying that they had seen..

..that tourist talking to Shanti over there last night.

"Now tell me, Masina, who else was with.."

..Mr. Prashant besides you yesterday?

Mr. Prashant is not a thief. He is as respectable as this temple.

And it is possible that he is as false as this temple is not.

"lnspector, if Prashant is not a thief, then no one else is."

Because it is Prashant who is the thief.

There is no other thief than Prashant.

"lnspector, ask him. Where were the 3 of them yesterday?"

And what were they doing the whole day with Prashant?

He and Shanti.

"l am going to work, mother."

"lf he comes, tell him l cannot meet."

Forget what happened last night and don't try to follow me.

Prashant! His name is Prashant.

My name is Toofan and his is Masina.

We were with him yesterday and will remain with him today.

"lf you want to take us to the police station, you can take us now."

Because we have done no crime.

Masina is God's child and l am the guide of this place.

"Whatever I earn in a day, I gift 10% of it to God."

And from whom I earn..

..I first search their hearts and then their pockets.

"Remember, my name is Toofan."

"lf someday I encounter a thief, I'll recognize him.."

..as quickly as l show him round the city.

"Mr. Prashant is not a thief, because Toofan is his guide."

It would be better if you state this in..

..the police station as the public suspects him..

"Yes, we suspect him."

Neither can Mr. Shastri deny that he saw them.

I know why you all are troubling Mr. Prashant.

"lf Shanti loves him, it is not his fault. Go and tell sir."

"lt is no use being virtuous and generous, mother."

You will be sad to know that your daughter..

..has fallen prey to such a stranger who..

..has defamed your name and mine.

She is going to be proved a thief.

And such a thief whom God will not forgive for centuries.

"l understand nothing of what you are saying, son."

"How can I explain, mother?"

Even my heart is weeping as I consider you as my own.

"Carnal, explain mother everything."

"Mother, do you see that temple of Lord Shambhu over there?"

Last night the most beautiful statue was being stolen from there.

"And everyone suspects that tourist, Prashant."

"What did you say, child? God's statue?"

And the most sad thing is that the whole city..

..has come to know now about that tourist and Shanti.

"Here, take this. Take that, too."

Is there a person who can buy the whole shop?

If there is I can give everything at half the price.

These are not stolen goods. You will have to pay the full price.

It has taken us months of hard work..

..to design and make these outfits.

And it also consists of my hard earned money.

"lf anyone likes this, he can take it for free."

And it will be finished for ever.

Mind you! No one should touch it.

Only those who have money can take it.

Or those who want to wear it.

What is the price of that outfit with the silver buttons?

Price? You can take it just like that!

Not less than Rs. 250. It is the most expensive.

Don't take them to be free.

If it is not from your father's then from whsoe account is this from.

I say don't listen to him. Take whatever you like.

Our culture is damaged by these stupid fashions.

Empty this truck quickly so that I can fill it up..

.with these colorful people and send them out of this city.

Janice! I sympathize with you and your ideologies.

Whenever I see you I feel that we share an unbreakable relationship.

Will you leave this dress? And move away from here in a minute.

Stop me if you can from buying it. And here is its price.

"Yes, he is Prashant Jaiswal. Your information was right."

He is staying at Hotel Manas. And he is a pilot of lndian Airlines.

"According to his father, the purpose of his coming over here.."

"This guy, Saathi, is often accusing him. His aim?"

Whom does this Saathi work for? - For Mr. Drona.

And Mr. Daroga is crazy after Shanti. Now I get it.

"And Shanti is after Prashant. - Yes, I've heard something like that."

It is possible that there is a benefit for Mr. Drona.

To accuse Prashant and trap him.

Here is the money.

And this jacket is for Rs. 120.

"lf that mister out there asks for me, tell him Shanti is not here."

Tell Shanti.. - Shanti is not here.

Give her this on my behalf when she returns.

"O Kanchi, my love is true. Stop, do not go, breaking my heart."

"Stop, do not go, breaking my heart."

Just as if my strings are in your hands..

I have come pulled by these strings to you.

It's difficult to live.. Give me o beautiful..

..back my heart after mending it..

"O Kanchi, my love is true. Stop, do not go, breaking my heart."

"Your ire is a pretence, it is untrue."

It isn't good to put a true lover in turmoil.

"Your ire is a pretence, it is untrue."

It isn't good to put a true lover in turmoil.

"l won't return, once that I'm gone from here."

"l won't return, once that I'm gone from here."

Leaving your streets behind.

"O Kancha, my love is true. Stop, do not go, breaking my heart."

I have coloured myself in your colours.

"To speak not of this body, I have coloured my heart.."

Do not say a thing.

"Stop, do not go, breaking my heart."

This is for you from me. You wear it..

.with the same love as I have worn this.

This stuff is from the Tibetan Culture Centre.

Not to be distributed free.

Our employer hasn't taken the responsibility for your romance.

Where is the manager?

"I'm not taking this for free. Deduct the money from my salary, manager."

"Yes, yes, why not."

That's all right; let this jacket be with her..as a generous gift.

Wear it quickly because now she's going to take our Raja..

..from Kathmandu's valley to the snow.

"How can I refuse your order, See I wear this jacket now.."

"lf you have the guts, get it off me.."

I am taking Shanti this very instant..

.with me in front of your eyes to the temple priest.

So that he ties such a knot between us that even if..

"..thousands like you so desire, they wouldn't be able to undo it."

"And this is the price of your jacket, manager and this is more.."

"And what is left, deem it to be a charity from me."

Distribute it among these poor brethren so that they be benefited too..

"Distribute all this money among yourselves, workers."

And that jacket is a wedding gift from us to Prashant babu.

And this garland of flowers from us.

Do not tell Prashant about the statue..

Give the bless for making usefull.

Idiot.

"We apologise, if your heart has been hurt..;"

"Mr. Zora, there is no fault of mine in this."

My duty is to show tourists interesting places.

And if while touring these places..

..if someone makes his place in someone else's heart..

"..then I'd say, what God does is always for the best."

I need to speak to you regarding the theft..

..that took place yesterday night at the temple

This topic was just on the tip of my tongue..

"You yourself are asking, and now you can see it with your own eyes."

Those Shanti and Prashant..

You suspect them too?

"Definitely, in fact I'd suggest you to search Shanti's house."

Maybe you'll get something there..

Shanti was working here and Prashant has come to meet her.

In fact he mingles with the workers and keeps moving about here

Probably he has passed by your house too.

You are witness to that.

I have a warrant in my pocket to search these entire premises.

"Jaiswal, you did not write about your visit."

I thought I'd give you a surprise reaching Kathmandu.!

"But when we left, She had to come from Bangalore."

What coincidence

Both our aeroplanes reached almost the same time.

I cannot understand these riddles of yours.

You are coming from Canada - sister-in-law is coming from Bangalore.

Perhaps I did not write to you. After we settled in Canada.

Sixteen years ago we got divorced.

Only the children remained between us.

Prashant in lndia and Jasbir In Montreal

She was missing for a year - and if one of my friends hadn't..

spotted her at a discotheque here and informed me.

At least you should have written the replies to my letters

If I have kept it a secret from her that her true mother and brother..

"are alive, then that's for her own good."

In fact when your letters would come in the beginning..

..I did not let them reach her.

It was best in the circumstances that she forgot you completely.

As though you never existed in her life.

Do you think she'd have forgotten that..

..she has a mother and a brother.who are alive?

"This is our story, then."

Now you policemen think of Prashant as a thief or a dacoit..

But he's our son.

And I have told you our reason in coming here.

"Jaiswal, I shall have to abide by my duty.."

"Because in the city, such a net has been cast.."

that without apprehending anybody..

..the truth will be out.

'Hare Krishna Hare Ram'

I have brought this flower for you.

My mother said Janice loves flowers since her childhood.

"Be it as it may, she'll definitely love the sight of them."

"Try to recall, Janice - how beautiful you found these flowers.."

"Beauty is in the heart, in the eyes.."

"Take, have a puff.."

"No, I have a problem of coughing.."

"lf you want to be with us, then be like us.."

Do you believe in God or not?

Is God like this Janice? - Ascetics of great repute spend their lifetimes..

..on the peaks of mountains in meditation for God.

So that they may get him. See his light.

And all they see is a few long rays.

And the instant their eyes are opened..

..they get enamoured by the brilliance of God.

"lf you have come to love, then do not refuse this life.."

"Or I am seeing, your grief will sap you from within."

Your thirst will increase.

This is peace.. intoxication.. Iove.

Thakur's son is here and he's just left. Over and out.

"I'm sorry, but I have a search warrant for your house in my pocket.."

"Why, what's happened?"

Don't you know? An idol has been robbed from the temple?

An idol robbed?

Of gold.. too precious.. don't you know?

Then are you insinuating that we have stolen that idol?

But we have heard that Prashant has come to stay here.

"You are very happy, Janice."

Very. Have never had so much fun since I have left home.

When did you leave home?

Perhaps it's a year. There is excitement in running away from home.

More so when you know that no one needs you there. world.

And you have so much love within that..

..you are impatient to spread it in the

I love this.

"Smoke away, erase your sorrows"

Then speak day and night Hare Krishna Hare Ram

Daddy. Give the phone to daddy.

It's a call from Jasbir.

Tell her to call later.

And so gentlemen..

He tells you to call later.

Tell him that Jassi's dead for you.

She tells to tell you that she's dead.

"Oh oh, bring it here. What a whirlwind this girl is!"

Are you dying that you cannot wait for a mere five minutes even?

"Yes, Jassi's dead for you long back."

Then why do you call if you are dead?

There are so many problems I am engulfed in.

Some people are sitting in front of me.

There's a transaction of hundreds of thousands going on.

"Okay tell me in a second, what's the matter?"

I need 5000 dollars in a second.

Call you mummy and explain to her why you..

..need so much money. She'll give you the money.

She's not my mother.

"Hello, yes. Phone from your daughter."

Okay.

Yes darling.

I am Jasbir speaking.

What's this? You told me my daughter's calling. This is Jasbir.

I am here since when mummy. Why should I call up?

"Mummy, I need milk quickly. I've got to go for a game."

Surely she'll ask for money. You go.

"Yes, tell me what it is."

Shall I come home to meet you for a while?

It's better if you be with your colourful friends.

I do not wish my children to be badly influenced by you.

Is there something special that you are..

..exuding so much love over the phone?

I have never had any love for you and neither do I have it now.

But daddy told me to call you up.

"lf you need money, then try someone else."

Witch! My mother!

You are remembering your mother despite me being here?

Let's share one each.

From today you shan't call me Jasbir; but Janice.

My real mother too wasn't less of a witch.;

I felt as if her big nails were tearing into my flesh.

And she'd rip my flesh and serve it to crows and vultures.

I ran into daddy's office.

But there was no one in the office. My eyes fell on his pocket.

A bunch of keys was hanging. I opened the safe.

There was lot of money inside. I extracted merely 5000 dollars..

..from it and left a letter for daddy.

From that day to this - it's a journey and no more.

Where all have you gone in the meanwhile?

"London, Paris, lstanbul, Kabul and now here."

Won't you return home?

I have a great hatred for home.

"To your mother, your daddy?"

I have a hatred for those people too.

But the word hatred doesn't exist in your dictionary.

It is nothing but hatred that is the source of so much love for the world.

Do you remember anything else of the past?

"No, I remember nothing of the past. All has been washed off."

"Some relative, someone.."

These are all my relatives. These are my everything.

And your brother?

He died in his childhood.

"Your brother is alive, Jasbir."

I am not Jasbir now.

My office has been raided and a diary has been found. Your name's in it too.

I have made all the arrangements.

Your enemy is sitting with Janice since two hours.

..and Janice is in her moods. It seems they have a past relation

Maybe he's her lost brother.

Brother?

"This idol has been stolen from a temple, too."

"l swear in my God's name, my mother's name, my husband's name.."

I am innocent; Prashant is innocent.

We do not know anything about this.

I have seen this for the first time here too. Believe me

"lf she says then trust in her, lnspector."

I am not able to understand anything.

I know only so much about Prashant that if my daughter has..

"married him, then she must have done so thoughtfully."

"So, are you too suspecting, mother, that Prashant is a thief?"

I dropped my flower here.

"Recall Montreal, Janice. How silly you felt wearing glasses!"

All would chide you in school - and then I told you - throw it off.

"Not one, but you'll have to put all the flowers of Kathmandu.."

..onto Janice's lap. Then you'll be able to obtain her..

". And not old ones, but new. Janice gets bored easily."

Shanti later. First sit with Janice. Go!

She's asking flowers from you. Put them in her lap.

"Has your death come, Deepak?"

"May be, but I'll kill you first."

There is no use of this.

I shall finish him off.

"Why did you two fight, Deepak?"

"Shanti, forgive me. I left you and came here."

Do not misunderstand me; l wanted to tell you everything.

Where have you kept that golden idol?

What?

Where have you kept that golden idol?

Golden idol? What are you trying to say?

That idol which you have stolen from Swayambahu.

I am not understanding anything. What are you trying to say?

"Forgive me, I myself cannot understand what I am saying."

I cannot understand what is happening.

"Good that you cannot understand it, Shanti."

In my mind I have decided to share my joys with you.

That I show my sorrows to you.

I haven't authorized my love to do.

"lf you cannot share your sorrows with me, then why have you.."

..given me the right to be called your wife?

Then listen. The girl with whom you saw me

"..and felt aggrieved, is my sister."

Sister?

She has been lost and separated since years..

Refuses to recognize.

I do not know whether I'll get her back or not

When I try to make her remember; she doesn't.

It's settled in her mind that she had a brother of..

..eight years when she separated. And now he's dead.

How should I believe this?

I had held your hand in front of God and said that you should

..believe me forever. Do not let that faith die so soon.

Whom should I blame? You have been accused..

..of stealing the temple idol.

What did you say?

Our house has just been raided and a stolen idol was found.

"Shastriji, Shastriji. Shanti's house has been searched.."

..and plenty of things stolen from the temple have been found.

Has that idol been found?

That idol hasn't been found; but a likeness has been found.

It is evident that the one who has stolen that has stolen the real one.

Who is that?

Who can it be except Prashant? He has duped that miserable..

..Shanti and married her today evening too.

"Since this person has come to Kathmandu, he has destroyed peace.."

"Neither do you have peace, Deepak, nor Janice."

There he has fooled Shanti into marrying him.

Here he's after Janice.

The commotion that occurred in Swayambahu in the morning -

that man has a big hand in it.

And it is possible that the blame can be put on anyone of us

"- Me, you, you, or may beyou Michael."

That is why I tell to be alert..

..and do not let that man escape if he comes into your hands.

Otherwise do not tell that I did not caution you.

"Mr. Zora is correct. Now if he come,will not escaped."

Just now that man has beaten Deepak and left.

"Next time, each one of us shall take the revenge of this."

I shan't leave him alive.

"No, Deepak, no."

The thief of the idol has committed a grave crime.

"Perhaps, God will never forgive him"

But isn't it a grave crime also to blame an innocent man?

I will repent in some way for all those people..

.who have laid the blame upon Prashant.

The most suitable repentance would be to leave Prashant.

We do not allow ruined person into Pashupati.

And you went and sought the hand of such a man..

.who steals God's idols and sells them man's area.

How can you tell this?

Then will such a man steal who'd keep the idol in a showcase?

This is the hand of the tourist. Now the police have come to know too.

No.. no.. It's all false.

He has duped our Shanti to secure his benefit. He must be thrown out.

"By conning Shanti, he has slapped our entire city in the face injustice."

". Shanti is like our sister, our daughter."

"This is injustice, total injustice."

"Repentance is not for Shanti, but for us. For the whole city."

"Because of him, police has come to raid our institutions."

Those institutes which offered gifts of..

..gold to the feet of God for their whole lives.

Our repentance would be revenge from Prashant.

For our city. - For our God. - For Shanti.

How did Shanti fall in love with such a man?

"Brother, we should leave Nepal and go if we cannot disprove the.."

..blames laid on Shanti and Prashant.

I am thinking the same.

The God inside me says..

What?

Come with me.

The theft of the idol. How?

This is Jasbir's letter that she wrote ten years ago.

What have you given me other than birth?.

And that was an accident too

I got a boarding school instead of home and..

"..instead of mother, I got a nurse."

Thrice I failed in school; wasted your money.

I shall waste 5000 dollars more.

I am taking these with me. Do not remember me..

..and do not try to look for me..

"Because I shall not remember you. Not Jassu, but Jasbir"

Try ripping apart Janice's heart and see.

Such a deep ocean of love is in it that the whole world can be put..

..in; and you say I do not love you?

This was the song that l.. What were the words?

Are you remembering something about Jassu?

I feel my Jasbir nearby. This is the song that Prashant used to sing for her.

"Yes, see that's Prashant. There he is standing."

He is none other but your son.

Yours too.

"l sent a telegram, but you probably didn't receive it."

See how far I have come looking for you.

"Your mother is with me too, son."

"You are standing so far, mother?"

"Prashant. My son, what games fate has played with me!"

Did you meet Jasbir?

Jasbir is dead. Her place has been taken by Janice.

Would you like to meet your daughter?

"That is why we have come so far, son."

Can you see those people down there? You'll find Jasbir there.

"ln each other's laps, in each other's embraces.."

"ln the midst of those people, you'll find your daughter Jasbir."

"Jasbir. In that long frock. After 16 years, she refuses to recognize."

I am not at all able to remember what the song was.

But you'll not be able to meet her.

"She has reached a different world where she has no mother,"

"No father, no brother and no sister."

However if your heart is quivering to be close to her..

I'll remember it now. Make a chillum.

"Flowers, stars, all say thus.."

That my sister is one in a thousand..

Forever we have to be together..

"Flowers, stars, all say thus.."

That my sister is one in a thousand..

Forever we have to be together..

"Flowers, stars, all say thus.."

Since the time you have gone away from my sight..

All the dreams of my life have become shattered..

Since the time you have gone away from my sight..

All the dreams of my life have become shattered..

"There is no sleep in my eyes, and no peace in my heart."

That my sister is one in a thousand..

Forever we have to be together..

"Flowers, stars, all say thus.."

See we both are flowers of the same branch..

I haven't; then how did you forget me?

See we both are flowers of the same branch..

I haven't; then how did you forget me?

"Come close to me, and speak what you want.."

That my sister is one in a thousand..

Forever we have to be together..

"Flowers, stars, all say thus.."

No one gets so intimidated from the sorrows of life..

This is not the way one shuns the truth..

No one gets so intimidated from the sorrows of life..

This is not the way one shuns the truth..

"lf there is love, there is peace"

That my sister is one in a thousand..

Forever we have to be together..

"Flowers, stars, all say thus.."

That my sister is one in a thousand..

Beat him..

"No.. Stop, all of you."

"Don't stop them, Janice. They have been stopped for long.."

They have slept and lost. Perhaps this is their repentance

Come forward and see her. Her senses are out..

"Who has come, who has gone, she knows nothing."

Come.. Now's your turn.. and yours and yours

Can you awake her and bring her to her senses?

Come and see. They have found God on earth itself.

There's no use being here.

"Use your hands, legs; go on Mount Everest; on the moon."

"And when they reach God, then what will be the state?"

"Opium, charas, cannibus, by singing about these nothing will happen."

"lf this is devotion, this is God; Hare Rama Hare Krishna you chant.."

"..then discard these beads, drown these flowers in the.."

..Bhagmati river. They'll look better there.

Don't leave him.

He's stolen the temple idol and..

..because of him Mr. Zora was searched.

He has defiled the pious ground of our city.

This is untrue.

"Prashant, get out from here. All these will kill you."

"I'll not leave you here and go, Jasbir."

See who's there.. Daddy.

And see there.. Mother..

Daughter.. Daughter..

"No, go away, go away. I do not want to see you."

I do not have any mummy or daddy.

"lf you do not leave him at once, then there'll be firing at you"

I warn you. Who all stay here?

First arrest the one who has stolen.

"ln this place, there is a man who limps."

"lf he is not the thief, then whatever little breath.."

"..is left in me, I'll snuff it out myself."

"He was not alone, but his sister was an accomplice in the theft. Janice."

Janice is his sister. These two came here to Kathmandu..

.with this sole purpose and they kept meeting secretly

"And for a pretence, they kept up their tricks."

"Arrest them immediately, sir."

"What is your name? - Michael, sir."

How can you say that he has committed the theft with his sister?

"Because I know his sister who lives here. You search her room, sir."

"And alongwith search his room too, sir."

There was nothing in Janice's room.

This is the idol stolen from Swayambahu.

Recovered from Michael's room.

How did this happen?

Maybe it was magic that transported the idol into your room.

Tit for tat.

And who'll account for the idol that was recovered from Shanti's house?

"I'll answer for that, sir.."

Because Mr. Zora's silken handkerchief was found in that..

.. same room where the idol was found.

And his name is written on it too.

When he went to meet Shanti's mother..

..he accidentally left this handkerchief with the idol too.

This is all a frame-up..

Whether true or false.. It will be determined by your fingerprints.

"Not just me, but you'll have to arrest Mr. Zora too."

Because whatever I have done till..

"..now is under his orders, with his compliance"

This is utterly false..

The court will decide that..

And the proof is this diary confiscated from your house.

There's a long list of your foreign friends in this.

Mr. Zora to whom many of our temple idols have been sold.

Arrest him too.

Those foreigners may assist you; but l..

..shall never surrender myself to the police..

Prashant.. my brother..

Janice wants to speak to you..

What has the world given us?

What have we taken from the world?

Why should we care for all?

What has it cared for us?

Smoke on..

What have you given me besides birth?

Lifelong I kept pining for a brother.

"And when I found him, it was too late."

"Prashant, there's darkness all around. "

I won't be able to see you in this darkness.

That's why I'm going into the light. Keep me in memory. And keep loving.

"My soul has loved you tremendously too, and always shall keep loving you."

"Because where I am going, there's only love there."

"Peace, Rama, Krishna.."
