Original subtitles

I'm don't know what I've done wrong..

I must have upset someone to fall in love..

With a man who's increased interested in poison rivals his love for me.

You're as alluring as poison.

Oh, so I'm just as venomous.

It's as intoxicating as love.

And it slowly consumes you.

You're right. Because I..

Don't get angry, Devika.

I know, I forgot you're mom's birthday. But which one?

I've reminded you twice already.

So what's once more.

Which mom's birthday is it?

How can I be sure that you'll remember this time.

Look, I'm paying close attention. Tell me.

Elder mom or younger mom?

Today is my birthday.

I like Lily.

Lily.

Why do you always like something that I don't.

I could ask you the same thing.

You have an affinity toward things I have no room in my heart for.

Your heart, your birthday.

Your this, your that.

I've lived my life on your terms.

So don't live.

Nobody implored to you say..

"Amanat, don't leave me."

"How will I live without you?"

Ungrateful.

The world knows who's actually indebted to whom.

Do me another favour.

Why do you have two moms?

Are you even interested in me?

Should I tell you? - Yes.

What are you doing? - (Brakes squeal)

Let me show you. - No.

What if we got into an accident?

So what?

Hey, Devika.

I'd like to see if you make the distance. - Come on. Devika. - (Laughs)

I'll shadow you.

For so many years I lived as your shadow..

To witness this?

You wanted to be in the shade. My wealth and reputation provided just that.

You're wealth has depleted and so has your reputation, Tarana.

Times have changed.

Wealth doesn't last forever.

Your ambitions were always a little too big for you.

(Sighs)

Saigal has such a melodious voice.

He is nothing compared to Suraiya.

Suraiya. I don't know how people tolerate her.

It's because of dishonest actors..

That you're out of work today.

Suraiya's record will continued to be played.

Simply saying something doesn't make it true.

Life would have been a lot simpler if that was true.

All preparations have been made.

If you could just take a look.. - I'll just come.

Okay. - Raghuveer, stop.

Play Suraiya's record.

Go ahead. I'll just come.

Okay.

I've told you several times, learn to be respectable.

How else do you talk to servants? - Servant?

Raghuveer has been living with us for the past 25 years.

(Chuckles)

Even after 25 years, a servant is still a servant, Tarana.

Do you respect anybody?

Time for me to go on a stroll.

Take your time.

No one's waiting.

(Laughs)

Devika.

They must be waiting for me.

They both really love me.

Some distance, huh. - A big one.

(Sighs)

I was talking about how long it's going to take to get there.

So was I.

It's only shorten by advancing.

(Laughs)

Whenever I try to search for myself..

I realise that I'm just your reflection.

I've really tried hard to understand one thing in life.

Have you added the spices to the food or the food to the spices?

You like to make fun of me, don't you?

Get one thing straight.

You eat the food I cook.

You're in the pink, owing a large part to the food.

No. It's because of Mr. Raghuveer.

Don't take his name. No need to address him as mister.

He doesn't deserve your respect.

I do all the work.

I cook. And he gets all the credit.

I've made just one mistake.

And what is that?

He got me the job.

Oh, you talk too much.

Learn to mind your tongue.

At times, our words can be used against us.

(Thunder crashing)

(Vehicle approaching)

(Radio playing)

"I'm fervent. It's the season of spring."

"Come, my beloved. I'm waiting for you."

"I'm fervent. It's the season of spring."

"Come, my beloved. I'm waiting for you."

"The sun and the moon look at you, but I'm craving a peek."

Dr. Nigam. - "The sun and the moon look at you.."

At times, I'm so lost in myself..

I'm not sure which self I am.

But Dr. Nigam, where are you lost?

In your mesmerising beauty.

(Chuckles)

Happy birthday, Tarana. - Thanks.

You never forget anything.

Since the time I saw, I've forgotten the world.

(Laughs)

But you always remain lost in yourself.

(Chuckles)

You can't complain. I have a lot of respect for you..

What?

Respect?

Who's complaining?

I've seen good people, ruined. This house does that to them.

Nobody complained.

It seems Amanat is not in a good mood.

I've waiting..

For another life.

I still have one to go.

It seems I'm the first to arrive.

(Chuckles)

You might be the last. - What about the others?

The invitation was sent to many people, but unfortunately..

This dinner is just for close friends.

For you, Mr. Rai, Jhankar.

Devika is also going to come. - I see.

Devika is bringing a friend.

Great.

Tarana, she's grown. She's got a her own guests.

Yes. It's been 20 years since Tarana adopted her.

And Tarana..

I've told you several times not to mention that.

What?

Your age?

You know what I mean.

Did I say something wrong?

She is your adopted child.

I will admit that you've loved Devika more than your real daughter.

She's our daughter, isn't she?

I remember you telling me..

That she'll give her life for you.

(Scoffs)

Elder mom. - (Laughs) - Devika.

(Laughs)

Wow. You've grown so big.

(Laughs)

God bless you.

Your friend.

Oh, I'm so happy to meet you, I forgot to introduce him.

Madan. Dr. Nigam. Madan.

Hello, sir. - How do you do?

Good. - And she is my elder mom, Tarana.

It's your birthday, isn't it?

Best wishes, Ms. Tarana.

Don't spoil this good moment.

(Chuckles)

Call me just Tarana.

I've got a flower.

Beautiful. Very beautiful.

(Chuckles)

I've hear a lot about you.

You can only get a sense of who she is by watching her films.

You must have watched my films.

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance.

Why did you give up acting?

Films don't have that magic any more.

A woman that sets the stage on fire is sometimes burnt by those around her.

And she's age matter.

Amanat, age doesn't catch up with some women. Their beauty is timeless.

I'm still smitten by her.

She is still just as beautiful as the first time I saw her.

There is something special about Tarana.

Everybody remembers the first time they met her.

But that's where it ends.

Come on.

(Laughs)

Madan. She is my younger mom. - (Laughs)

(Chuckles) - My younger mom is also very interesting.

Interesting. Not famous like Tarana, though.

It's a pleasure.

I got you a flower.

Thanks.

Madam, rest for a while.

Younger mom, I'll just come. - Excuse me.

Take advantage of the opportunity.

We're alone and in love.

What happened?

Tarana. She always looking at us.

This is an actress's house.

You'll find such photos everywhere.

Devika, I know, but I'm uncomfortable.

It feels like she's looking at us.

That's because she's here.

She's a part of our lives.

We are a reflection of her personality.

But I just want to live in your reflection.

"Don't hover around me."

Carefully. Carefully.

Is that so? As if I'm just a guest.

It's not just Tarana madam's honour that's at stake.

Don't use big words like honour.

Keep a dog or a cat. You should know that..

Everybody knows your eyes have a tendency to wander. (Laughs)

Don't act bigger than you are. The kitchen is my sanctuary.

This plate is my wife. This knife is my mother-in-law.

And these spoons are my groupies.

If you want to know about my relationship with spice, stick around.

Gossip. Gossip. Gossip. That's all you do all day.

Fill up those dishes there or I'll speak to Raghuveer.

Here's another one. It seems Raghuveer wasn't enough.

He thinks he is my master as well.

Madan, you haven't met Raghuveer.

We've met. He came to the kitchen when you were getting ready.

What were you doing in the kitchen?

The aroma was so enticing, I couldn't stop myself.

Devika, didn't praise you enough.

Elder mom, people end up licking their fingers.

Especially, when they eat his fried rice..

And mashed eggplant.

My mouth is watering.

(Laughs)

If you say so.

I didn't know you were this interested in food.

I always discover something new about you.

Do you have any secrets?

He's not as innocent as he looks.

Madan is a master of poison.

Poison? - Yes. Poison.

Different kinds of poisons, how they work..

He has helped Scotland Yard solve several murders.

I'm not interested in murder, Tarana. I'm interested in people.

I'm interested in the poison which lies within us..

Which compels people to kill.

Poison is just a means of gaining insight.

Are we discussing murder and poison on a beautiful evening like this?

Mr. Rai.

I didn't know that you've come.

Sorry. I came right inside.

It's your own house, Mr. Rai.

You are right, Amanat.

The whole world can come to a standstill..

But Raj won't miss Tarana's birthday.

Best wishes. Happy birthday. - (Laughs)

Even if it means travelling from Mumbai to London.

Who can exercise restrain in front of her mesmerizing beauty?

Look at me.

I left everything behind to be with Tarana in England.

You won't understand, Jhankar. It's my love that brings him here.

Give the guests a little room to breathe, Tarana.

(Chuckles)

I'm used to this friendship... this feast, Amanat.

(Laughs)

I was craving your presence.

Beautiful.

If you miss her so much, why don't you keep her close to you, Mr. Rai?

That's what I'm saying. When she was studying in Mumbai..

She should have lived with us.

It's been a dream to have raised her.

We haven't been introduced.

He is our guest. - Oh.

Beauty is always drawn to you.

Anyway, it's a mystery why you didn't marry.

Don't put yourself down, by praising me.

If you look, you'll find the whole world in me.

If you steal somebody's verse, at least be true to it..

Yes, Amanat. What is the actual line?

Don't consider me any less than you.

If you look, you'll find the whole world in me.

Wow. - Younger mom, sing a song.

Please sing. Come on. Please sing.

(Clears throat)

(Music)

"Don't consider me any less than you."

"Don't consider me any less than you."

"If you look, you'll find the whole world in me."

"Don't consider me any less than you."

"If you look, you'll find the whole world in me."

"Don't consider me any less than you."

(Music)

"Even the dark cloud seeks the shadow of my tresses."

"The air sizzled when I fluttered my veil."

"Nature has endowed me with abundant beauty."

"Don't consider me any less than you."

(Music)

"The whole world dwells in my existence."

"The whole world dwells in my existence."

"Whatever you're searching for, you'll find it in me."

"It's not possible to forget me."

"Don't consider me any less than you."

"If you look, you'll find the whole world in me."

"Don't consider me any less than you."

"Don't consider me any less than you."

"Don't consider me any less than you."

(Vase shatters)

Amanat. - Amanat.

Amanat, what happened?

What happened? - Are you all right?

Dr. Nigam, what's happened to her?

She's had a fit. Let me check her pulse.

Younger mom. - Take her to her room.

To prepare for this scene I sat in solitude for hours.

I thought about betrayal and love. Remember?

I just remember money being splurged. And..

The movies are just a business for you.

For me, for me it's an obsession.

I wanted all my characters to be true to life.

So people would be compelled to say, "Wow. Marvellous."

That's why people love me. - And so do I.

Your glass is empty.

Would you mind if I consume you with my eyes instead?

Don't you remember what the doctor said, Mr. Rai?

Don't say anything today, Jhankar.

That's what I'm worried about, Mr. Rai.

The bosses have eaten.

Now we'll eat our food till our heart's content. Lick our fingers.

And then pass wind.

(Laughs)

There's a certain etiquette with..

Which we approach things at dining table, Ranbir.

Darling.

This is for you. - For me?

You didn't serve it to our masters. - Because this is..

(Laughs)

Eat it. (Laughs)

I can't understand how you people can eat.

Amanat is sick. And here..

A drama is going on here.

Are you from the film industry? You're so dramatic.

Everyone has their little tantrums.

I've been cooking for so long. It almost feels like I'm cooked.

Initially I used to cook for Indians. Now I cook for foreigners.

Just cook. And cook. And cook. They are so white.

All there sauces are white as well. - Sauce.

Okay. Sure. Sauce.

There is a drama is going on upstairs, and another one here.

Instead of interfering in other people's affairs..

Concentrate on your work.

If I find any item missing, I won't spare you.

Chanchal. Chanchal. Stop.

(Crying) - What are you doing? Is this the way to talk to her?

What do you get by doing all this?

She is young. She is beautiful.

Is that why you don't like her?

Stones have started talking.

I am the gardener here. I don't live here for free.

(Scoffs)

Uncle didn't do me any favors by bringing me here.

The servants are well-paid here.

We shouldn't forget our manners by living in other countries.

We are here to serve only one person. Tarana.

I'm here only for Amanat.

(Knife sharpening)

A wave of desire will sweep you away.

What are you thinking?

I'm wondering... Amanat had a fit.

Tarana didn't say or do anything.

She must be tired.

The past three to four years have been very difficult.

Younger mom gets fits, takes medication..

And she's okay.

We all are used to it now.

How did you get so beautiful?

Is it elder mom or younger mom?

Is it younger mom or elder mom?

Is it elder mom or younger mom?

Is it younger mom or elder mom?

Even if I find my parents..

I will never leave my two moms.

Who is going where?

The feast has just started. Watch what happens next.

(Chuckles)

Madan. - Yes.

Elder mom was an actress in silent movies.

But she is also a great dancer. - Is that so?

Which song are you always singing? The one you dance fabulously to.

Which one? - That song..

"Quietly. Quietly"

Please dance. Please. - (Laughs)

"You are standing quietly."

"Something's going on ."

"It's the first meeting. (Laughs) - It's the first meeting."

"You are standing quietly. Something's going on ."

"It's the first meeting. It's the first meeting."

(Laughs)

What's the next line?

What's the next line? - I don't remember. (Laughs)

(Humming)

Can't sleep?

I'm always afraid in this house.

Fear lies within us.

You know that my fear is not baseless.

You doubt my hospitality?

Doubt? I don't doubt your hospitality, Tarana.

Look at this face carefully.

How can you doubt a woman loved by so many.

I'm not talking about appearances. I'm talking about the facts.

You've snatched Mr. Rai from me, Tarana.

When was the yours? He did you a favour by marrying you.

It's more like a legitimate relationship.

What do you have?

A sister who hates you, an adopted daughter..

(Chuckles)

And a few lovers. That's all you have.

Once you getter older..

Both Nigam and Rai, will leave you.

Stop your nonsense.

I'm not talking nonsense. - Elder mom.

Elder mom, come inside. - Are you afraid of the truth?

Come inside. - Are you afraid of the truth?

(Scoffs)

'She's still so arrogant.'

'Did she forget that day?'

(Music playing)

Cut.

(Scoffs)

Music.

(Music playing)

"The birds on the river bank says.."

"It says.."

(Humming)

Cut.

Take No.35. - Music.

(Music playing)

"The birds on the river bank says.."

"It says.."

(Humming)

Cut. Another take.

Take No.36. - Music.

(Music playing)

"The bird on the river bank says.."

(Humming)

Cut.

Music.

(Music playing)

"The bird on the river bank says.."

(Humming)

Cut.

(Pot shatters)

Tarana. - Sir.

She can't sing, sir.

You're paid to work. Not to give advice.

(Chair thud)

The movie won't be made like this.

An artist's talent lies in her beauty, in her charm.

But this voice..

It's okay. Rehearse it a few times. That's all.

You are the most beautiful, talented actress in the world.

You've made so much money for so many producers like me.

People love you.

And I'm mad about you.

I love you. I love you.

(Chuckles)

Shed as many tears as you want..

You can't take this role away from me. It's mine.

(Music)

Master, it's time to make a decision.

If you won't grab this chance, you won't get another chance.

Wow.

Sir, let go of my wrist. - Is that so?

I did as you said.

But there's no fire without fuel.

I'd like you to do something for me. My body speaks for itself.

I won't disappoint you.

Mr. Rai. Mr. Rai. Hello.

Music.

(Music playing)

"The bird on the river bank says.."

"It says."

(Humming)

"The bird on the river bank says.."

"It says. It says."

"My friend, today my heart is leaping."

"It's leaping. It's leaping."

(Music)

"The bird on the river bank says.."

"It says. It says."

I got the role. But the film didn't work.

And when films don't work, actors are often forgotten.

But I won't lose hope.

(Scoffs)

(Door creaks)

(Laughs)

Be cautious of knife-wielders, darling.

There's always a danger of cutting yourself.

You cut vegetables as well, don't you?

Really. I like my meat, though.

(Laughs)

'What have I done to myself?'

'Rai, Nigam, Amanat.'

'Sometimes the heart strays.'

'I think, if I got a chance to live this life again..

Would I live life just as I have?'

'Would trim around the edges..

And make something new?'

(Sighs)

(Door knocking)

Madan! Madan! (Door knocking)

Madan!

(Door knocking)

Madan! (Door knocking)

Younger mom. - What's wrong, Devika.

Something's wrong with younger mom.

Madan. - What happened?

What happened?

(Wailing)

(Wailing)

(Gasps)

Police will do what they have to do.

Their aim is not to harass.

We'll have to ask a few questions.

It seems to be a suicide case.

But, as your here..

And since you have helped us solve so many other cases.

I hope I can ask you to keep your eyes and ears open.

I'll try and do my best.

Thank you. - Thank you.

(Vehicle start)

Mr. Rai, Let's leave now.

Leaving Tarana in this condition..

Are you concerned about anyone else?

Amanat committed suicide because of Tarana.

And all you care about is her.

You should understand the situation.

For God's sake, Rai. Have pity on me and let's go.

It's not possible to leave now.

Why?

The police has to investigate this case.

Investigate. What investigation?

It's suicide.

Just to prove that that's indeed the case.

The police might want to ask you few questions.

Questions? - But it's clear that..

Amanat committed suicide because she couldn't take any more of Tarana.

And anyway, how can anyone live with such a woman?

Please. What are you saying?

(Scoffs)

I must compliment Amanat's courage.

She spent so many years with Tarana.

Jhankar, you..

(Scoffs)

(Wailing)

Mr. Rai.

(Wailing)

Dramatic.

(Wailing)

(Wailing)

Look. Everyone's sad about Amanat's demise.

But you have to be courageous.

Courage. How can I be courageous?

Amanat left me alone.

I lost my only support. (Wailing)

Farida.

(Wailing)

But... but..

But the question is..

What was Ranvir's knife..

Doing in Amanat's room?

Did Tarana and Jhankar always fight.

She feels that Rai and elder mom..

But the truth is..

She's not wrong in her suspicions.

What do you mean?

Mr. Rai loved elder mom.

He wanted to marry her.

But elder mom..

It's not as clear-cut, Madan.

Jhankar was a junior artist in Rai's studio.

And Rai was a flamboyant man.

Women were crazy about him.

But Jhankar locked horns with him.

She told Rai that she's pregnant with his child.

But Rai doesn't have any children. - No.

You are absolutely right.

Some people say it was just a charade.

Some say, Jhankar got the child aborted.

Jhankar threatened to go the press.

Rai got caught in his own vicious circle.

Devika, didn't Rai do anything after he knew the truth.

What could he do?

They were already married.

It was futile.

That means..

Jhankar can go do anything to get what she wants.

Jhankar loves only wealth.

But there was someone else who loved Rai.

Who?

Younger mom.

Younger mom. - Yes.

Who told you this? - No one.

There are some things that I just know.

I once saw Jhankar and younger mom have a quarrel.

(Laughs)

'I pity you.'

At least behave yourself when you're in my house.

(Scoffs)

Since when is it your house, Amanat?

All your life, you've lived on leftovers.

Are you trying to tell me this is your house?

This house belongs to Tarana. It's not yours.

Ungrateful.

What are you? Rai's mistress.

I am his wife... legally.

Rai never wanted to marry you.

Because of me..

(Chuckles)

You seem to know a lot about Rai's likes and dislikes.

I know about Rai's relationships.

But remember..

Rai is now my husband.

And if anyone as much as looks at him the wrong way, then..

It all seem to be in the past.

Everything resumed to normal.

Excuse me. Tarana is calling you.

Elder mom is awake.

Madan, I'll be back shortly.

Raghuveer. - Yes.

How is Tarana now?

She's not fine.

People know that they cannot do anything.

But we will have to be patient. - Yes.

What has happened?

You have been here for many days, isn't it?

I stopped counting.

It feels like I've been with Ms. Tarana all my life.

I was a gaffer in the studios.

I would cook as well..

Especially for Ms. Tarana.

'You cook well.'

'Especially, mashed egg-plant.'

'Would you like to cook for me?'

'Yes.'

My life completely changed.

Ms. Tarana brought me home.

And you met Mr. Rai here.

I knew him from the studios.

He was the big boss.

And Mr. Rai would come to visit Ms. Tarana..

Every evening at 8 o'clock.

(Music)

"I remember all the places."

"To where I'd travel to met you."

"The secluded manor."

"The deep lake."

"Those memories than can never be forgotten."

"I still think about you."

"Life. Life."

"I still think about you."

"Life."

(Music)

Mr. Rai stopped visiting as much.

After his marriage to Ms. Jhankar..

He stopped coming altogether.

It's destiny. Otherwise, Jhankar was my friend.

Jhankar, your friend?

(Laughs)

Jhankar worked in the same studio..

Where I worked as a gaffer.

You can say, we used to be together a lot.

'Raghuveer. Where were you?'

'I am so hungry.'

'All I had was 2 pennies.'

'I've got some peanuts. Eat some.'

'Will we live our entire lives eating peanuts?'

- (Cycle bell ring)

'We have to do something.' - (Cycle bell rings)

'Rai never lets me close to him.'

'Concentrate on your work.' - (Cycle bell rings)

'Don't get involved with these rich people. - Raghuveer.'

'It's all about the company you keep.' - (Cycle bell rings)

'You join a group of priests, you may attain salvation.'

- (Cycle bell rings)

(Laughs) - (Cycle bell rings)

'But you don't worry.' - (Cycle bell rings)

'If I become an actress, I won't forget you.'

- (Cycle bell rings)

(Cycle bell rings)

'Hey. Stop ringing the bell.' - (Cycle bell rings)

(Scoffs)

Even though she married such a rich man..

She never forgot me.

She still behaves as she always did..

But Jhankar is a bit short-tempered.

But she's got a good heart.

When Ms. Amanat met with an accident 4 years ago..

She attended to her day and night.

'Stop.'

'Stop.'

'What's wrong, Amanat?'

'Run to that place.'

'Run.'

'Run.'

'Run faster.'

'Amanat. Run?'

'Go further. - Amanat.'

'Spread out your hands, and dance.'

(Laughs)

'Jump up.'

(Laughs)

'Amanat.'

'What's wrong, Amanat?'

'Amanat. What's wrong?'

'I can never dance like you again, isn't it Jhankar?'

'Don't say that.'

(Crying)

'Amanat.'

(Crying)

Jhankar looked after her.

Ms. Tarana did everything she could.

Amanat and Tarana would quarrel a lot, isn't it?

They loved each other a lot.

They has their arguments.

They ordered for a brush to be sent from England.

Ms. Tarana ordered it.

Ms. Amanat got her hands on it, and that was it.

"I am writing the saga of my restless heart."

'You've been eying everything all my thing.'

'You can't even give your sister such a small thing.'

'You are very big-hearted.'

'Those who are big-hearted have nothing to share.'

'Fine, don't give it.'

(Sighs)

'Take it.'

'I don't want it.'

'I'll order another one for me.'

'Which song did mother sing?'

'Sister, you will sing? - Yes.'

(Laughs)

'Gently settle into my eyes.'

"Gently settle into my eyes... slumber."

Gently settle into my eyes

"Gently settle into my eyes... slumber."

Those were the days, Mr. Madan.

The hide n' seek. Those games.

The singing and dancing.

(Music)

"The little moments that have gone by.."

"let's bring them back."

"Let's prepare for tomorrow."

"The little moments that have gone by.."

"let's bring them back."

"Let's prepare for tomorrow."

(Music)

"The little moments that have gone by.."

"let's bring them back."

"Let's prepare for tomorrow."

"Little moments... are just memories."

"Let's smile while we remember them."

"Smile. Smile."

"Smile. Smile away."

"Steal some little moments from life."

"Steal it. Steal it. Steal it."

"Smile away."

(Music)

"The devious laughs. The grace. Love."

"The wonderful laughs. The grace. Love."

"Without them life is meaningless."

"The wonderful laughs. The grace. Love."

"Without them life is meaningless."

"Always wear them on your lips."

"Wear it. Wear it."

(Music)

"Irresistible desires.."

"That are always in the heart."

"Irresistible desires.."

"That always in the heart."

"Make that your motive of life."

"Do it. Do it."

"Steal some little moments from life."

"Steal it. Steal it. Steal it."

"Smile away."

(Music)

"The little moments that have gone by.."

"let's bring them back."

"Let's prepare for tomorrow."

"The little moments that have gone by.."

"let's bring them back."

"Let's prepare for tomorrow."

(Laughs)

She'll be all right.

Only the weak fear death.

But in this case she committed suicide.

What's wrong, Mr. Nigam?

Those who want to die, do so.

But those that are left behind have to bear the brunt of it all.

After Amanat's death, Tarana's condition has deteriorated.

I had to give her a dozen of ether..

So she could rest for a while.

Are you fine?

Why?

What's wrong with me?

I just... I need a drink. Just a drink.

I know a place. Come.

Madan, will the police come here?

Why?

You were mentioning the investigations, inquiries etc..

I was thinking..

I am not scared.

I was worried about the members of this family.

I can understand.

I loved Tarana.

No. I still do.

Tarana just told me this once. Nigam, stay close to me.

I left my home, my practice everything for her..

And came to London.

It seems so recent, the first time Tarana saw me.

Love at first sight for both of us.

Since that day, I have only one hope.

Maybe Tarana will marry me.

And Amanat?

Amanat trusted me.

She never hide anything from me.

She was very short-tempered.

And she would say anything in a fit of rage..

Without caring if the other person..

And I..

After this incident..

I feel I have lost a part of me as well.

What do you think?

Why did this incident occur?

I don't know.

But it's not what everyone things.

What you are thinking. - Me?

What am I thinking?

Everyone is overlooking one thing.

And what's everyone missing, Mr. Nigam?

I cannot say for sure.

But I never believed Mr. Rai.

Take Amanat for instance..

She loved Mr. Rai so much.

She was ready to do anything for him.

And Mr. Rai..

And..

'The delicate lips.'

'And.. '

'Like the petals of rose.'

'And.. '

'In these capricious eyes.'

'And.. '

'Hold all the intoxication.'

'You think I can become an actress. - Of course.'

'You have all the qualities that an actress should have.'

'You have a good voice.'

'You can sing, dance.'

'You have everything an actress should have.'

'That's why I am crazy about you.'

'When will you start shooting your film? '

'Presenting, a new face, the beautiful actress..'

'..Amanat.'

'Only one thing is keeping you from becoming an actress.'

'What? '

'I don't want to share you with the world.'

(Chuckles)

(Slaps)

'You're scared of Tarana.'

'Rai, make me yours.'

'What will you get by tying me down? '

'The pleasure losing myself in you.'

'Make me yours forever.'

'I have, but not forever.'

'Don't joke. I'm telling you the truth.'

'I'm like a bee.'

'I'm like a bee.'

'I have a right on every flower.'

'You are beautiful.'

'What good is this beauty, this grace? '

'These tresses. They cannot allure you.'

(Chuckles)

'You managed to allure me.'

'But don't try to entrap me with your beauty.'

'Your eyes.'

Mr. Rai just used everyone..

Even Tarana.

But Mr. Rai doesn't look like someone who..

Our actions are written on our faces.

Mr. Rai should be grateful to God for that.

Maybe he really loved Amanat.

Love, and Mr. Rai, not at all.

How can you be so sure?

It happened that night.

It was raining.

Mr. Rai called me.

(Thunder crashing)

'But I want to give birth to this child, Mr. Rai.'

"It does not matter what you want or don't want."

But he's your child, Rai.

Your flesh and blood.

This is not a scene from a movie.

My respect, honour, my stature..

Marry me.

You'll maintain your stature, and save an innocent child.

(Thunder crashing)

Dr. Nigam, you know everything.

I want you to abort this child as soon as possible.

And no one should know about it. Especially, Tarana.

Otherwise, she will kill her. - Mr. Rai.

Mr. Rai.

Mr. Rai, don't kill this child.

Mr. Rai.

Amanat endured a lot of hardships ..

But she forgave everyone.

Not Mr. Rai.

I heard Jhankar was pregnant as well.

Did she give birth to the child?

That's a different story.

The world knows only half the story.

Half the story. - Yes.

Bothe friend.. One day..

'What are you saying?'

'I am right.'

'You'll suffer the same consequences.'

'But if he grows suspicious?'

'What if he does what he did with you.'

'There's a major difference between you and me.'

'You are not Tarana's sister.'

'So you shouldn't be afraid of anything.'

'Because you don't have anything to lose.'

'If you're not successful, you're not.'

'But if you succeed..'

'..you will become Mr. Rai's wife.'

'We'll make the most of his name, fame and wealth.'

(Laughs) - 'But... it isn't true.'

'I am not pregnant with his child.'

'you have an opportunity to bring to the surface the true actress within you .'

'And you will be rewarded for it as well.'

(Laughs)

'But, Amanat, the truth will be out some day.'

'What will we say, then?'

'Jhankar, I will handle everything.'

'Not every child is born.'

'But..'

Quite.

'Jhankar will be Mr. Rai's wife.'

'Jhankar will be Mr. Rai's wife.'

(Laughs)

'Jhankar will be Mr. Rai's wife.'

Such a strange saga.

Amanat devised this ruse.

Rai made an the excuse about his stature.

Amanat trapped Rai by using that very excuse against him.

Later, the same thing came between Amanat and Jhankar.

Amanat's expenses just kept growing.

Jhankar refused to aid her.

Amanat felt bad.

But they were very good friends.

Yes. They were friends.

Appearances can be deceptive.

Amanat was a very good friend of mine.

She only wanted good for me.

That's why she suddenly called me that day.

(Music)

"Let the moon hide behinds the clouds."

"Let the moon hide behinds the clouds."

"Let me shower all my love on her."

"Arise when the night falls."

"Arise when the night falls."

"Let me shower all my love on her."

"Let the moon hide behinds the clouds."

(Music)

"I desire to curl up in his arms."

"I desire to dwell in his breath."

"How do I tell you all my desires?"

"You won't know as you are still ignorant."

"You won't know as you are still ignorant."

"Let me shower all my love on her."

"Let the moon hide behinds the clouds."

(Music)

I still can't believe that Tarana could..

I love her a lot.

Man goes blind in love.

Sometimes I feel that Tarana loves me a lot.

And sometimes, I feel she doesn't value my love.

I wish..

I wish I had taken Amanat's hand.

Such a beautiful woman.

But Jhankar's betrayal shattered her.

You are lying.

You are talking behind my back.

You are crying.

You never said this in front of me.

And anyway, you..

You're not even grieving.

What have you done?

Amanat made you an offer.

If you didn't want to marry her, you could've sympathised with her.

But even you turned your back on her.

And now you are crying.

You are pointing fingers.

You claim to be her friend.

The truth is that even you ignored her.

It's also true that I did a little acting.

But it was because Amanat told me to.

She was my friend.

I loved her a lot.

Amanat started blackmailing me.

All the money that everyone thinks my family received..

Was actually sent to this house.

You and your Tarana.

(Scoffs)

There are only two pious people in this house.

Everybody else is a murderer.

It was Amanat who conspired. It was Amanat who blackmailed.

Does that count for nothing.

Does more important than us even in death.

Finally, I got fed up and told the truth to Mr. Rai.

And then, one day..

'You've come.'

'It's empty.'

'I know.'

'Jhankar, don't fool around with me.'

'You know what I can do.'

'It's good that I've come here today.'

'And henceforth, I won't give you a single rupee.'

'Why?'

'I'll get trapped.'

'Where will... I get all this from?'

'For the sake of our friendship..'

'You have become an alcoholic.'

'Get a grip on yourself.'

'Jhankar, you..'

She said it was for our friendship when her threats didn't work..

But I was fed all the blackmailing.

We all have a past..

That's spotted with both, truth and lies.

But I'm better than those that don't have any character.

I wish this wouldn't have happened to my Amanat.

I really miss her.

I wanted to talk to you.

Tell me.

We were summoned at the police station.

This is the first time in my life I visited a police station.

I couldn't understand what they were saying there.

Thank God the butler was with me.

They were whispering to each other.

Oh God, now I have seen it all.

I don't have nay influence in this country

But there's nothing to worry about.

But, sir, the question is, why us?

Why aren't they questioning you all?

No one has done anything, nothing will happen.

Anyway, Madan is linked with the Scotland Yard.

Madan is doing a little more than he should.

Who has Devika befriended?

Then why don't you talk to Devika?

After all, you consider her to be your daughter.

Sir, do something about this boy.

Ms. Tarana doesn't say anything to him because he is Raghuveer's nephew.

But he never got along with Amanat.

Sir, what we need to think about is..

How his knife was found with Ms. Amanat..

She was unable to walk.

The morning light reminds me of you.

Every night turns into a dream.

I'm holding a river in my eyes..

Which comes gushing out at the very mention of you.

Very good.

It touches the heart. - Yes.

She used to speak and I used to write.

We used to be together all the time.

(Sighs)

I feel so alone.

After all, the water need fish..

As much as the fish need water.

Of course.

The love that you two shared is incredible, Ms. Tarana.

What's surprising is that in all these years..

She didn't think of leaving you and starting her own life.

That surprises me as well.

She could have led a good life.

She could have got married.

She would have had a husband, children..

But no, she stayed with me.

There are many things about her that I didn't understand.

Like her friend, Jhankar.

One doesn't need enemies if one has such friends.

Who could have know her better than you.

Ms. Tarana, do you think she was capable of suicide?

Never. She had a desire to live.

I was always busy in the studio.

She used to take care of the house and handle everything.

This... I've clicked this photograph.

I thought of publishing a book with them. 'Katre Ne'.

Yes. - How are they?

How are the photographs?

Very beautiful.

(Sighs)

She used to recite beautiful poems.

She didn't value her God-given talent.

She wasn't educated.

She always wanted to be an actress like me.

She could have become one..

If I wanted her to.

But why would I want that?

How can one actress help another..

Even if they are sisters.

When did she start getting these fits?

Fits. About five years ago.

I remember, four years ago, City Club was honouring me.

They arranged for an award function.

But by mistake, they forgot to invite Amanat.

That night..

'Please don't go, Tarana.'

'You are not an ordinary actress.'

'You are a well-known actress.'

'You shouldn't accept an ordinary award.'

'People respect us when we respect ourselves.'

'Please don't go.'

'You should rest.'

'Tarana, please don't go. Tarana, please don't go.'

'Tarana. Tarana, please don't go.'

'Tarana!'

'Tarana! - Amanat. Amanat!'

'Amanat!'

'Amanat.'

'Here. Here. Eat this.'

'After an hour, when Amanat fell asleep..'

I was about to leave, that's when I noticed the medicine.'

'In a hurry, I had given her the wrong medicine.'

'I gave her medicine for stomach-ache. And she was cured.'

'I was scared and called up the doctor.'

'That day I found out that Amanat didn't have any illness.'

'It was all an act.'

'She was just given sweet pills. Placebo.'

That night..

I couldn't attend the award function.

(Crying)

It's not good to spy like this at your age.

Where do you want to end up?

Regardless of where I end up, you will surely end up in prison.

You are taking undue advantage of Ms. Tarana.

And Amanat knew you and your intentions.

And perhaps that's why you.. - What are you saying?

Let's go from here.

(Number dialing)

Yes, Sergeant Williams, please. Thank you.

Hello.

Yes, sir. This is Madan.

I've been talking to them, but no conclusions yet.

Keep me posted. Thank you.

Good morning. - Good morning.

There's no fun without any competition.

If I find a worthy opponent compete, I wouldn't mind losing.

Good shot. - Thank you.

Are you looking at that?

Doesn't she look like an idol of propriety.

But beneath the exterior, there's a frightened Tarana..

Who faces the truth every morning.

(Screams)

And she knows that..

She isn't the same Tarana she was 20 years ago.

Perhaps, she realised it in Bombay.

That's why she came here.

She can't hide from herself.

She puts on an act for the world, the reality is something else.

I can't stand it here.

What do you think?

When will we be able to leave this place?

It's hard to say.

(Chuckles)

Amanat is finally free.

Freedom? - I wonder when fate will be kind.

Freedom? She had a family, a daughter, a sister..

People have everything, but yet they have nothing.

Whatever you just mentioned, none of it belonged to her.

Only I could understand Amanat's pain.

What did you know about her pain?

Her pain came from the same place as mine.

She used to love Rai.

And Rai just ignored her.

If she could, she would have.. - Killed him?

And you? - I can kill too, but only Tarana.

By the way, Amanat has committed suicide, right?

Yes!

But I was wondering, if it was a murder.

(Chuckles)

There are many potential suspects.

What does that mean?

Not everything that glitters is gold, my love.

The truth is more than meets the eye.

Tarana disappeared..

Six months before adopting Devika.

And she came back with a child.

This child's secret..

One day, I saw Amanat and Tarana fight.

(Laughs)

'Okay.'

'Devika, will you play with me? - Get lost. Go away.'

'Go away. - Who am I? Your unpaid servant?'

'I have always kept your secrets.'

'You won't be able to face anyone the day I open my mouth. Understand?'

'Everyone should know the truth.'

'Devika is the first person who should know.'

'Don't bring her into this. She's our child.'

(Laughs)

'Our child? Not ours, yours. She's your child.'

'I'm hiding a secret in my heart.'

'Tarana won't be Tarana anymore if anyone finds out.'

'What happened to my baby? What happened?'

'The doll broke? The doll won't break now that younger mom is here.'

'I will repair it right away. Come.'

'Come.'

There was something that Amanat knew..

Which bound Tarana to her.

Didn't you try to find out?

I did. I tried immensely.

But I didn't get anywhere.

Once, during a fight, Tarana actually..

Threw Amanat out of the house.

And then I gave her refuge.

'Where should I go? - Everything will be fine, Amanat.'

'Everything will be fine.'

'Nothing will be fine.'

I tried to probe, but she didn't tell me anything.

Then? - Then?

Why did Ms. Amanat come home?

Tarana came to pick her up. Drama queen.

'My sister!'

We are all tied to each other's lies and secrets.

No one was asking for answers.

And nobody was ready to answer them.

And today, poor Amanat is not among us.

Excuse me, sir. There's a phone call for you.

Right. I'll be there. Thank you.

Perhaps, now our problems can be solved..

And you might be able to go home.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Yes.

Yes. Thank you.

Was it the police? - (Receiver hang up)

When will we get the body?

According to the post-mortem report..

Amanat was murdered. - What?

(Photo frame shatters)

(Sobbing)

Stop crying, dear.

(Sobbing)

Mr. Rai?

Devika is just a child. Stay away from her.

I haven't done anything that would hurt anyone.

You are interfering in everyone's life..

And you say that you haven't done anything.

I haven't interfered in anyone's life, Mr. Rai.

Then why is everybody telling you their stories?

How are you related to any of us?

(Chuckles)

I'm not.

I am a stranger. Perhaps that's why it's easy to talk to me.

Mr. Rai, as far as Devika is concerned..

What difference does it make to you?

She's my dau... like my daughter.

"Like my daughter?"

Whoever has done this, it is extremely sad.

Imagine if it is one of us.

Still..

I still can't believe that someone could've murdered Amanat.

And you believe she committed suicide? - I don't.

The post-mortem report states that the murder took place..

Before her wrist was slit.

Before? What do you mean by before?

Oh, God. Now even we'll be questioned?

Tarana, don't worry. We all are with you.

Every time I think that I'll never come back here..

I wish I would listen to my heart.

I have to come here for you.

I wonder what treasures are here..

Or something extraordinary.

Right, Nigam?

What's here?

What's so special in this woman that for the past 20 years..

Please. - Why?

Have I said anything that'd hurt your Tarana's feelings?

No one would have to see this day if out of two sisters, you..

What are you saying? - I am telling the truth, Rai.

You loved Tarana and with Amanat..

Look into yourself before accusing anyone else.

Everything's fair in love and war, Rai.

And if I wouldn't have done what I did, then I too, like Amanat..

I love you, Rai.

Great, Jhankar. Great.

At least you think that you're saying the truth.

It's true, Nigam.

I really love Rai a lot..

We are forgetting that there are children here.

Then it's time for the children to know..

How cheap their elders are.

It's better if Devika knows the truth now.

Truth? What is the truth?

What is the truth?

Who are you?

What right do you have to interfere in our lives?

Stay away from my daughter.

She's already very upset. Her younger mom..

Younger mom.

For whose murder, even she will be questioned.

For God's sake, please. Please.

And by the way, why aren't we talking about the person..

Who entered the house and after which the murder occurred?

You can.

You can suspect me as well.

But if you point a finger at me..

You'll be pointing four towards yourself.

Why are you so befuddled?

The culprit will be before us in two hours.

In two hours?

But how do you know that?

You are a guest. Stay within your limits.

Why is Madan being dragged into this?

What does he have to do with all this?

Why will he kill her?

You have met him only two days ago.

You can kill her. You can.

You, and me too.

But someone who has nothing to do with it..

Someone who is unrelated to her..

My younger mom has been murdered.

And those who are most dear to me are suspects.

Dear. Go inside. Go inside. - (Crying)

What's happening?

I don't understand anything.

Why are we running away from the truth?

Madan. - Yes!

What do you think about this?

I think it's so strange.

If someone is hurt because of us..

Becomes sad.

If we slap someone, we can apologise.

We can talk. Wounds can be treated too.

But death..

It's an end and it reaches the law.

Excuse me. Mr. Madan, call for you.

It's possible that the murderer is an outsider.

I think so too. - No, no. This is not possible.

Why is it not possible?

It's possible that someone came from outside and..

No. Then why would the murder look like a suicide?

That means someone first planned the murder..

And then tried to cover it up.

You are absolutely right, Mr. Nigam.

But whoever has done it, has done it very childishly.

What do you mean?

I mean the culprit is in this room.

Who is it? - Madan, clearly tell us what it is.

Ms. Tarana, hadn't I told you that..

I am interested in the poison which is within a person.

A man is made of courage, fear and weakness.

You are complicating things, Madan.

I can't decide how to say it.

Ms. Tarana, you showed me some photos last night?

Yes.

So what's so special about them?

In one of those photographs Ms. Amanat was writing something.

She wasn't writing. She was just posing.

That's when I found out she was left-handed.

Yes, so? - Her left hand's wrist was slit.

If she would've slit her own wrist..

She would've slit her right hand and not the left.

That means someone killed Amanat by slitting her wrist?

Amanat, not only life, but even death was cruel to you.

And I thought that all this is a lie.

Then who wrote the suicide note?

That was Amanat's handwriting.

That's the same question even the police are asking.

And if I want, I can give an answer too. - Then?

But I don't want the reputation of this family to be tarnished.

I want the murderer to confess.

But who is the culprit?

The same person who wrote most of her poems.

Hey! You are accusing Ms. Tarana. How dare you?!

Stop, Raghuveer.

For how long will I hide it?

What could I have done, Rai?

That night I fell asleep while writing.

All of a sudden, when I woke up..

I thought I should check on Amanat.

'I create scenes? I create scenes?'

'It's your profession to do so.'

'My profession? Did you have to create a scene on my birthday?'

'I will reveal your secret today.'

'I have endured enough. - What will you do?'

'What will I do? - Yes.'

'I will shout and tell everyone about you.'

'What will you say? - What will I say?'

'What will you say? What will.. - I will comment on this..'

'Shut up. Shut up.'

'Shut up. Shut up.'

'Shut up.'

'Shut up. Shut up.'

(Lamp rattles)

But I didn't want to kill her.

I just wanted to stop her from shouting.

Ms. Tarana, who was the other one?

Where are you going, Rai?

Have courage to face the truth.

Ms. Tarana, in the post-mortem report it is..

Stated that there were two people's fingerprints there.

And that dagger belonged to Raghuveer.

Who was the other one?

'You? You will tell me?'

'How dare you!'

(Laughs)

(Spits)

'Go and call her.'

'I'll share your truth. I'll tell everyone.'

'Go and call her.'

'Go! - What kind of scene are you creating?'

'It is necessary to create a scene on my birthday?'

'I create scenes? - Yes.'

'It's your profession to do so. And his.'

'I share the truth in front of everyone.'

'What will you say? What will you say?'

'I've been quiet for so long. I've been quiet for so long.'

'I will tell everyone about the two of you.'

'I will share this family's truth.. - Shut up.'

'Shut up. - I will tell everything.'

'Shut up.'

'Amanat.'

We didn't want to kill her.

You know the rest.

But what was it that Amanat wanted to tell..

And you wanted to hide?

It's.. - No. No, Ms. Tarana.

No. Not anymore.

Madan, you had asked me whether I had left acting.

I never stopped acting.

This drama started 20 years ago.

And I am going to make the curtains fall over it today.

I didn't adopt Devika.

She's my daughter.

And her father.. - Is not Mr. Rai.

You suspected that, didn't you?

Actually, I never loved Mr. Rai.

Neither Nigam.

If I ever loved anyone, it was Devika's father.

I truly love him. From the bottom of my heart.

He's the only one whom I was free with.

All the other relations were based on my profession.

He's the only one that I connected with.

This courtesan's daughter couldn't change her status.

Courtesan? Courtesan's daughter?

Perhaps, this was the reason I connected with him.

He can be found in the dark lanes I was once part of.

Amanat's and my mother was the same..

But we had different fathers.

That's why when I made the most important decision of my life..

I went with what my heart said.

And in spite of everything, I stayed with him.

Mr. Raghuveer, come here.

You all have told me the truth.

But it has been shadowed by your point of views.

Ms. Amanat didn't die the way you all think she did.

She died some time before..

When the fight was going on and you were..

Trying to stop her from shouting..

She died because her heart stopped.

Because of cardiac arrest and not because of suffocation.

If you had screamed right then and told everyone..

Then it would've been considered to be an accident.

But you slit Ms. Amanat's wrist..

And then you tried to cover it up. It's a crime.

And now, it is a legal issue.

Now I request you both that before the police come..

You both tell Devika the truth.

'What scene are you creating? What scene are you creating?'

'Is it necessary to create a scene on my birthday?'

'It's your profession to do so. And his.'

'I will tell everyone the truth about the two of you.'

'What will you say? - What will I say?'

'What will you say? - I have endured enough.'

'I will shout and tell everyone the truth.'

'Shut up, otherwise.. - I will tell everyone.'

'Save me.'

'Save me.'

'Jhankar, save me. - What?'

'You are not dead? You are still alive?'
