Original subtitles

I've been calling for the last two days.

Your phone's switched off.

I forgot to charge it.

Forgot to charge it?

I sent Vinod to the shop.

The guy next door says you haven't opened in five days.

When did you last get out?

Look, I don't even buy groceries for myself.

You can at least give me an answer.

Here... I need to show you something.

Show me something?

What?

You've made me into a pizza delivery boy.

What is it?

Just wait...

She's having an affair with that guy?

She has kids.

Wait till they find out.

The news will spread like wildfire.

This whole place is a shit hole.

Let it go.

Take this.

I found some work for you.

With Tilakbhai from the market.

Repair jobs.

Just don't bail out this time.

I'll pay you back.

One more thing...

Shaukat has been looking for you.

I didn't tell him where you live.

What does he want?

I don't know...

Meet with you. Talk to you.

23 years. Now he remembers his brother?

You'll meet him, right?

He's your only family.

No, I won't.

I thought I should let you know.

Alright, I gotta go.

And you - get out and get some fresh air.

Or you'll rot in this cockpit.

Turn it around.

This way.

Come here, Idu.

Come here.

Sit.

The way I taught you.

Do it.

Stop staring.

Bring it here.

Here...

These are the addresses for the deliveries.

Make sure everyone pays.

Go.

Listen.

No credit!

How was your day?

Come up.

It's been 3 months since Shibbi last opened his shop.

Yeah, I liked the toys he had on display.

And the beautiful girls around there too.

Did you go there for candy or checking out girls?

Girls, of course.

That's real eye candy.

Shibbi's shop was always packed with customers.

Yeah.

Slow down.

You are too fast.

Just hang tight.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Move your ass quick.

Dad is waiting for me at the shop.

Idu, careful.

Shut up.

Idu?

What do you see?

Quiet! Let me look.

Hello.

Sit, sit.

I didn't know you were still living in this area.

Really? I've always been here.

I called a few people.

But no one knew you were here.

You changed your name.

It was tough finding you.

Ganeshi told me.

How are you?

I'm...

I'm busy with work.

I got a place of my own.

It's all good.

I live in Greater Kailash.

I own a few factories.

I have a textile business.

Garment export.

And family?

There are four of us.

Wife and two daughters.

Mom died a few years back.

Yeah, I heard about it.

My older one, Zeba,

is getting married in a few days.

I want to give her something special for her wedding.

Mom told us she left her necklace in her things.

I want you to give it to me.

Here's my number.

Call me when you find it.

I'll send someone to pick it up.

So, that's it?

It was nice seeing you.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

How much for Greater Kailash?

500 rupees.

How far is it?

It's pretty far.

Where were you all day?

Dad sent me out for deliveries.

All day?

No way.

I know what you're up to.

Jumping over roofs.

Peeping into people's houses.

That's what you do, right?

So, no love for me today?

I have to do it myself?

This one, from mom.

This, from your little brother.

And this... from the one on the way.

Today, I thought of a new name for the baby.

Dad was looking for you.

Iqbal.

What's wrong with the name from yesterday?

I like this better.

And what if it's a girl?

It's a boy for sure.

How do you know?

Wanna make a bet?

You're crazy.

If I win I get chocolate.

That's fine.

Listen to me carefully.

Dad is in the shower.

Give him this when I tell you.

Okay?

I'll put him to bed.

Mom, let it play.

I like that song.

I'll play it when dad's not home.

I took the medicine you got me yesterday.

I'm in a lot less pain today.

Doctor said they'd work.

Come.

I'll be right there.

It's kicking.

It's been kicking a lot today.

Where was he today?

Deliveries only take an hour.

Actually-

I was waiting for him all day.

I sent him to Farida's house.

I thought...

she wouldn't make excuses in front of a kid.

She's been avoiding me for a while.

Doesn't meet me.

She paid Idu some money towards her balance.

Give Dad the money you got from Farida.

Dad's eating. Come here.

Put it in my wallet.

Give it to me.

How much?

I didn't count.

Did she say when she'd pay the rest?

Did she?

I bumped into her on my way back.

She asked me for more time.

She probably forgot she already paid him.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

I provide for you.

And you lie to me.

No! Please don't hit him.

I slave away for you...

Don't hit him.

...you lie to me.

You lie to me.

You think I'm a fool?

Trying to make fool of me?

He's a child.

I work day and night.

You're teaching him.

These animals...

They think they can get away with anything.

because no one's watching them.

Where are you?

Idu.

Please come inside.

Hey!

Do you live here?

I am looking for someone.

He lives around here.

The festival season is coming up.

There's going to be a lot of work.

I'll pass them along.

Here's one for now.

That's the address.

Go there.

What's wrong?

He was beating up a boy.

I heard.

What boy?

The alley behind my house...

Our houses are all connected...

I could hear everything so clearly.

These damn cameras didn't catch anything.

I need more cameras.

Are you crazy?

What if the neighbors find out?

As it is, they don't want you around.

You think I'm scared of them?

I know who they really are.

And my cameras have been up for years.

I went to look for the boy this morning.

Have you lost it completely?!

What if someone sees you...

peeping into their homes?

Ganeshi...

That room had been locked for years.

Who knows how long this has been going on?

How can I let it go?

When I know there is something happening.

It's a child...

Alright, I'll look into it.

But stop this camera nonsense.

Get earplugs if the sound bothers you.

Eat your food.

I don't like you scolding me.

I love you, that's why I scold you.

Idu...

Dinner's ready.

How many times have I told you not to study in candlelight?

You'll hurt your eyes.

You haven't eaten since morning.

Eat now or else I won't eat either.

Dad is out making deliveries.

Come on, it's just the three of us.

Here...

I made okra for you.

Eat.

What happened?

You didn't come up with a name today?

Shahid.

Shahid?

That's nice.

Better than Iqbal?

Mom...

Why do people have kids?

When two people love each other, they get married,

then they have kids. It's natural.

Does everyone who gets married have kids?

Yes, mostly.

Unless they have a medical condition,

or if they just don't want kids.

Why wouldn't they want kids?

I don't know. That's their choice.

Whose choice?

The mother's and father's.

Sometimes one person's more than the other's.

Did you always want kids?

I've always wanted kids.

Since I was young.

And dad?

Yes, he too.

Did both of you get married because you wanted kids?

No...

I wouldn't put it that way.

So, did you love each other?

Did you find the necklace?

I called you many times.

You never pick up.

So I had to come here myself.

I looked everywhere.

Couldn't find it.

Of course not.

It's very expensive.

It's the one thing I've ever asked of you.

Look at yourself.

You disgust me.

How much more are you going to lie?

To yourself. To others.

If it wasn't for me,

you'd still be rotting here.

I set you all free.

Enjoy your life, brother.

Keep rotting here.

This place is a horrible maze.

Once you're in, you can't get out.

I've been busy.

Would you like your order?

Yes...

Fresh cut?

Of course.

Make sure you deliver tomorrow.

Alright.

Don't forget.

Idu...

Come here.

It won't happen again.

Okay?

You know I love you?

Your mother and I.

Alright.

I have to make a delivery to Farida's.

I'll be back soon.

Ganeshi?

Which job?

How many films have you seen at Daresi's?

Four.

That's it?

Greetings, Mr. Daresi.

Hello.

Welcome.

It's been a while.

What are you doing?

Moving the pieces of my life around.

It's some frustrating task.

You need help?

No, no. I'm quite alright.

I've gotten used to managing on my own.

Anyway, I know why you're here.

Do you want to learn this?

No.

Then go on.

Go watch your films.

I told you...

bet on England.

But you didn't.

India is a lost cause in Test Cricket.

Next time.

I'll just go with the team you pick.

You're the expert.

He's the betting champion.

Just smarter than all of you.

Yeah, whatever.

Who's he?

Hey, you all live here?

We're waiting for a friend.

Your friend lives here?

Yeah, one of these houses.

That must hurt, no?

A little.

What happened?

Fell down during cricket practice.

Let's get out of here. What a weirdo.

Idu, where were you? Dad isn't home yet.

What do you think?

Isn't it nice?

It's fine.

Hey, Idris?

Why was the door closed? What are you doing?

I was changing.

Changing...

Look at this room.

What a mess.

Stuff lying around...

Keep it tidy.

Clothes too.

What's this?

How did it go today?

Fine.

Here's what we made today.

Yeah?

See.

Keep it.

Come here, Idu.

At first...

no one wants to do this job.

It gets easier with time.

Just like that.

Come, let's eat.

I'll get it ready.

Here.

Where are you taking me?

Oh man, so many questions. Just come on.

I'll show you my old man's latest disaster.

Look at this dump.

My dad will buy anything if it's cheap.

Even the water pump is broken.

Don't go there, Idu.

Let's go home.

This place makes me sick.

What an eyesore.

Idu.

Look at this.

Holes in the floor...

broken ceiling...

That's what my dad is leaving me for an inheritance.

It's a plan to trap you here.

Yes.

No, I'm at home.

I've been working.

Just wake him up.

Go right away.

Where is he?

Check his house.

I need you guys to get here quickly.

How soon can you leave?

Go to his house and let me know.

I'll wait for your call.

I've been calling your landlord all morning.

He's not responding.

They are his men.

Hey, careful!

You didn't pay rent for a year?

Look.

The notice has been up for weeks.

Check the date.

How is this possible? I was just here.

Then how did you miss it?

When's the last time you were here?

A few days ago... Shaukat came to get the necklace.

I told you.

That was a month ago.

No, not a month. That's not true.

What, did you forget?

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

What happened to your hand?

It's fine.

Where were you?

I was busy.

Busy?

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

We'll have to put all this in my storage.

I can handle this.

Are you feeling okay?

Are you feeling okay?

I'm fine.

Why?

Have you noticed any weight loss?

No, sir.

You are considerably underweight.

Do you sleep well?

I usually go to sleep late, wake up early.

Do you smoke?

2 to 3 packs a day.

Drugs?

No, no drugs.

He drinks sometimes.

What happened here?

A small cut while I was cooking.

It's fine now.

Do you know today's date?

July 20th.

Is there something to worry about?

Could be risky if he doesn't take care.

Too much stress and lack of sleep.

No.

I don't have anything. I'm fine.

There's a child in your neighborhood,

you want to help out?

He told you this?

You told him?

You think about him day and night...

Worry all the time.

I'm scared...

something will happen to him if I don't help.

Why do you think that?

Who else will?

I know these people. They're selfish.

They won't help.

They don't help anyone.

Least of all, children.

Children are abused in every home, but no one cares.

No one listens to a child's cry.

So whatever may happen, I'm going to help that boy.

Come to bed.

You're back? I didn't see you.

When did you get home?

Listen...

Can you watch your brother?

I have to finish cooking before Dad gets back.

Come out.

I feel so lonely.

Hey Khuddoos...

You know the rules here... no drinking.

Stop it.

Come on, stop.

Go.

Leave.

Let go of the plate.

Let go of the plate.

Let go.

Put it down.

Let go.

Stop it right now.

Let me handle him.

Listen you knucklehead. Don't you get it?

This isn't allowed.

We're the only place that lets you in.

Every other place has kicked you out.

I just want to eat.

You know that.

Alright, okay.

I'm sorry.

It's my mistake. Just let me eat.

You're done here.

Get out.

I just want to eat.

Out!

No, I will eat first.

How dare you push me.

How dare you push me?!

I'm just saying let me eat.

Don't ever touch me.

What's the matter?

Enjoying the show?

They're all the same...

animals.

Lets me eat in his shop?

You charge for me for this, right?

I'm going to hit you.

Break your thick head.

I'm saying just let me eat.

And he doesn't get it.

I pay for the food,

And still all this drama.

He doesn't understand.

Laying his hands on me.

I talk to you decently,

just reply politely.

Where's Shankar Bhai?

I don't know.

Wait here. I'll look for him.

Shankar Bhai?

Where is he?

Shankar Bhai.

What?

He's the friend I told you about.

So where will you go?

Anywhere... far.

Far? You want tickets for "far"?

Why don't you get it yourself?

They don't sell to kids.

The smart ones can get it.

Not a bunch of fools like you.

What if the police finds out?

Please help us.

I'll take 500 rupees. The ticket will be extra.

That's a lot of money, Shankar Bhai.

Can you do it for less?

Bargaining just like your cheap father?

Get lost.

I have the money.

You have the money?

How did you swing that?

If you really have the money,

then you'll be out of here in two days.

Now go away.

Have you thought about where you'll go?

Where no one can find me.

I'm only worried about my mom.

Hey! Which way is Guleiyan alley?

Idu...

Are you sure about this?

If you go away, who will do my homework?

Brother...?

And math?

I'll fail math without you.

And I'll never learn English.

Can you help me?

I'll miss you a lot.

Friend...

I'm lost...

Which alley is this?

You remember that song?

From the film...

we saw at Daresi's shop?

the film we saw at Daresi's shop?

Oh hey!

I'm talking to you!

Hey you!

Come here.

Look, what I found for you.

They were in the old trunk.

Look.

Your first birthday.

You know, when you were born,

the midwife bathed you and brought you to me.

You were looking at everything with your big eyes.

Curly long hair.

We were so happy.

And one time, you were bathing here,

and all the neighborhood girls came

wanting to bathe you.

You bathed naked in front of them

and dad took a photo.

I can't find it.

It's probably not here.

Wait.

I have something in here.

Look..

My mother gave this to me when I got married.

She said to me,

"When the right time comes,

even an old penny can fetch a thousand rupees."

Listen to me carefully...

Whatever happens in life,

never lose hope.

Wake up!

What are doing here?

Get up.

Wake up.

Come down.

What are you doing here?

He's been laying here all night.

Why were you sleeping here?

Now we have to worry about him lying outside our homes?

We don't feel safe with him around.

Everyone's scared with him living here.

Get him out of here.

Get him out!

People like him should be hanged.

Dried mango candy, please.

I used to buy it every day from your shop.

But you were closed for so long.

I was sorry to hear about your wife and son.

Your son and I were good friends.

Our teacher told us he died in an accident.

It wasn't an accident.

Where have you been?

Haven't seen you for a week.

Math...

what a useless thing.

Goes over my head.

Just come over and do my homework?

What's wrong?

Shibbi finally opened his shop.

I told you about the photo I saw in his house.

Yeah.

His wife killed their son, then committed suicide.

She didn't want to live here.

And Shibbi wouldn't let them go.

He told you all this?

They died because they couldn't get out of here.

Mom!

What's wrong!?

I'm hurting!

I'm hurting a lot.

Mom, careful!

I'm hurting a lot.

Call the doctor!

Water.

I'll get dad.

Farida.

Get Farida.

Idu?

Give me the baby.

Mom don't worry. I'll be right back!

Aunt Farida!

Aunt Farida!

Push harder.

Just a little longer.

Push harder.

Drop the sheet.

Listen to me.

Hold your mom's legs apart.

Quick.

Hold them tightly.

Make sure she doesn't fall asleep.

Little longer.

Almost there!

Quick, grab my scissors.

Now cut this.

Go on.

Don't be scared.

Khuddoos?

Get up.

I couldn't see the kid on the cameras.

So I sat outside.

I didn't realize when I fell asleep.

Enough, Khuddoos!

Quiet.

This is the last time I help you out.

My family is right about you.

You're getting worse by the day.

And everything you've been doing...

is bringing my name down.

You know what? It's not about helping that boy.

You want to use him to get out of here.

You!

I've realized one thing...

You'll never get out of here.

How is Saira?

Not good.

Take it. Keep it for the night.

I'll bury it in the morning.

Go.

Take your brother into your room.

Go.

Are you hungry? Shall I make you something?

I'm not hungry.

Mom...

Was it a boy or a girl?

Boy.

Did aunt Farida bury him?

Dad buried him.

Did you have a name for him?

Akram.

That's nice.

Mom?

Should we get out of here?

Come. Let's go down.

Why are you following me?

Eat something. It's getting late.

Okay, tell me where you want to go.

Anywhere. But far from here.

You, me and little brother.

Dad will never find out.

When did you wake up?

A few hours ago.

You shouldn't be working.

You need to rest.

Give.

No, it's alright.

Did you take your medicine?

Go son. Get mom's medicine.

Go.

Get a glass of water.

I buried him.

Don't skip these pills.

The dose is for a week.

Here.

Take care of her.

Make sure she takes them on time.

What's the point of this drama?

What did you say?

We could have taken her to the hospital if you were here.

My brother would be alive.

Quiet.

My brother died because of you.

You killed him!

Say that again.

You killed him!

No.

Don't hit him!

He's just upset.

Get out of here.

Get out!

Don't touch me.

What are you two doing?

Let go!

Get out of my house!

Stop!

You hit your father?

How dare you?

How dare you hit your father?

I'll kill him today.

How dare you hit your father!

You hit your father, huh?!

You hit your father? How dare you!

I'll kill you!

I'll kill him!

I'm going to kill him.

I'll kill him today.

Ganeshi?

Why isn't he picking up his phone?

Tell him to call me quickly!

Chawri Bazaar police station?

Idu?

Are you here, Idu?

Ginny!

What are you doing down there?

You okay?

I looked for you everywhere.

And you're here.

I know they're looking for me.

Who?

Come here.

I can't go back there.

I ran away.

How did you know I was here?

The woman next door told us.

She saw someone entering the house.

I figured it was you.

He's a murderer.

He killed my brother.

What?

Last night, I saw the baby covered in blood.

He'll kill me too.

He'll kill all of us.

Go to my house.

I've hid money in my room.

Get it and meet me at the train station.

Stop acting crazy.

Let's go home.

Let go! Don't you get it?

I'm not going back there.

Please help me.

I don't want to die here.

Saira.

Here. I found him.

Where were you?

Do you know how worried I was?

Where did you go? What did you do?

Tell her!

Look at him.

Where are you going? I'm talking to you.

Go over there.

What have you done to yourself?

Where were you hiding all day?

Do you even care about me?

He's selfish.

He doesn't care about you.

He was at the train station all by himself.

Trying to run away.

Who gave him the idea?

He's not clever enough to come up with it himself.

You must have taught him.

You sit around here all day.

Were you all alone?

What were you thinking of doing?

Live on the streets?

Walk around naked?

Beg for food?

You beggar!

He gets it.

He won't do it again.

I slave day and night.

And that's how you both repay me?

I'll have my eyes on you all the time.

You won't be able to go anywhere now.

You know, Idu...

I was the only sister of my five brothers.

My dad and my brothers used to treat me like a princess.

They loved me so much.

We had a huge house in Varanasi.

With a big porch in the front.

A garden.

Lots of flowers...

Every evening,

my brothers and I used to play next to those flowers

while Dad played flute

and Mom sewed.

I can still hear the sound of my dad's flute in my mind.

Then I got married...

and moved here.

Everything here was so different.

No family...

no friends...

No open spaces.

Nowhere to go.

I used to cry for hours.

But slowly, I started getting used to it.

These walls...

These people...

And my old home...

started to fade into memory...

lost in the maze of these alleys.

After you were born,

nothing else mattered anymore.

Mom, I will never leave you.

Can you hear me?

Are you okay?

I could hear everything so clearly.

These damn cameras didn't catch anything.

Khuddoos?

No one has seen him for weeks.

But the door was locked from the inside.

Where could he have gone?
