[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Well, Dad? Have you forgotten the keys again?

[SIGHS]

Have you found the keys?

[WHISTLING]

Stop it, Papa.

- What happened? - Not the car. Stop whistling!

You gave me a fright.

[HORN HONKS]

- Are you leaving this evening? - Yes. Got to earn a living.

- Where will you go first? - To Mumbai. For a day. [HORN HONKS]

Why?

- I'm building a 5-star hotel there. - And then?

- And then to Bhopal for a day. - What for?

I've got to address a meeting of architects there.

- And then? - Two days in Lucknow.

To finalise a site for the TV-station.

One and one... two.

Two and two... four.

...that's four days.

You're scared of flying. So how much time will the trains take?

That makes it three days more.

Seven?! Don't you know I have my inter-school contest?!

- That's only six days away. - And so?

Don't worry. I'll wrap up my work in Lucknow in just a day.

- Promise Dad? - Promise!

I won't dance if you don't return...

and then, the show can't be held.

Just watch! I'll be the first to applaud from the first row!

I love you, Dad.

I love you too.

I love you two three four.

Do return soon, Dad!

- Look at this, sir. - This is excellent.

And look at the layout of the cover-page.

Isn't it classy?

- Very nice. - This will not be the picture on it, sir.

- It needs a dreamy expression. - Right.

We've issued a print order of 10,000 copies.

We'll come out with the second edition once it gains popularity.

- Look at the fonts we've used... - Show...

- Isn't it really classy? - It's nice.

For the poetry collection, there couldn't have been a better title...

...than 'What can the heart do'.

The title's okay. But take my name off the cover.

Really! Poems by an anonymous poet?!

Correct.

Isn't it classy?

I've made a design for the book, sir.

Just a minute.

- Hello. Kavita? - Somu?

Where are you?

I'm so worked up alone in the supermarket! Anand is away.

And Ram Dulare's taken the day off.

Who'll pick up Neha from school if I'm delayed?

- One moment, Kavita... - Damn your one moment!

Add a packet of turmeric... Listen...

Not that one, the other one.

A packet of red pepper, too.

- What picture on the cover, sir? - Are you listening?

Red pepper, of course.

Red pepper poetry collection!

Wow! Isn't it classy?

Shut up!

Somu?! You?

Sorry, I have to go.

- But Sir! - I'll See you later.

- Excuse me! Sir that design? - I'll See you later.

Strange man!

A rich man and a poet!

Like a pimple has grown on an ulcer.

Isn't it classy?

'I kiss those rays with your lips...'

'rays that have travelled the darkness to touch these bars'

'I touch those winds with your hands...'

'that blows through my cell in prison.'

Wonderful! Winds in prison!

By the way, what were you imprisoned for?

- Ram Dulare? - No problem.

- How much of sugar in your coffee? - As if you don't know?

Sure, I do. But all that sad poetry must have left a bitter aftertaste.

Ram Dulare!

No problem!

I'll add three and half spoons!

Go on, Somu.

'Your ears hear my heart-beat...'

'as if it were a chain unshackled...'

'or one that separated me...'

'The shackles forget... I'm already one with you'

'I'm away from these cells'

'For, I have been released'

- Madam, May I look for my release now? - All right. Go ahead.

Thank you. Big problem!

I can't figure out how a clown like you can write such nice poetry.

I can't either!

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

- Hello. Anand!- Hmmm.

- How are you, love?- You've called so late.

I've been waiting.

- How are you? - First class. What are you doing?

Listening to Somu's new poetry.

- Really? Let me talk to him. - Yes, just a moment.

Somu.

[CRICKET CHIRPING]

Hi, Anand.

Well, punk? What are you doing at my place at this hour?

I'm playing watchman.

You have a young and beautiful wife.

I'd be blamed, if she's kidnapped.

So I'm keeping watch.

Keeping watch is all right, but what's all the poetry for?

It's part of the new book I've written.

Really? Recite some for me.

Sorry mister.

I recite poetry over the telephone only for girls!

What's my daughter doing?

- Neha? She's asleep. - I haven't slept yet, Dad!

Naughty girl!

How can one sleep listening to Uncle Somu's poetry?

- Where are you today, Dad? - I'm in Bhopal, dear.

- When are you returning? - I'm leaving this place tomorrow.

I'll spend a day in Lucknow and join you after that.

- Promise? - Promise. Go to sleep now.

- Good night, Dad. - Good night, dear.

Love you, Dad.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

We can't find a better site than this for a TV station in Lucknow.

- What do you think, Mr. Anand? - Give it a serious thought.

Won't a 300-feet iron tower ruin the beauty of this historical site?

- But Mr. Anand, this site falls in the minister's constituency. - I see.

He himself chose it.

In that case, it must never be built. I won't give approval.

What?!

There's another site behind the hill.

That might hide the tower.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Sorry, it's time for my train.

It has to do with the minister.

We might lose our jobs, if the site is not finalized.

We can go straight to the station from the site.

Fine. Let's go.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

- Hello. - Hi love.

Hi.

You reached safely, I hope? You didn't ruin your health, did you?

- How's the hotel? - Everything is all right.

Why were you so late to answer the phone?

- I was taking a bath. - Have you dressed?

- Not yet. - And how are you looking?

You'll get a beating, Anand!

- Missing you sweetheart. - Missing you too.

Okay listen. I'll have to stay here for more three days?

Why? You went there for a day!

There are some changes in the design and I've called Kailash here too.

Okay fine. Listen!

Don't overwork yourself.

I won't.

- Where's Neha? - She's playing outside. Wait...

Neha.

Wait a minute. I'll call her.

Neha!

Bye.

Neha.

What is it, mom?

Dad's on the phone.

- Hi Dad. - Hi dear.

Dad, don't get me that big bunny rabbit I asked you for.

Aunty gave it to me just now.

I see. Which Aunty?

That nice Aunty had come. She said she'd get me many more toys.

Come back soon, Dad.

Okay Dad.

I'm going to teach Monu some cycling.

Bye Dad.

- Who was it?- I couldn't see her.

I just saw a car leaving.

[BICYCLE BELL]

Must've been Mrs. Malhotra.

She's been distributing toys ever since she's lost her child.

Tell Neha not to accept things from strangers.

- Yes Sir. Anything else? - Say 'I love you'.

- I love you, Sir. - I love you too.

- Bye. - Bye.

Don't be scared. I'll help you.

See, keep your hand there and ride.

Neha. Listen.

Did Aunty Malhotra give you this, dear?

- No. - Then who did?

- I didn't ask her name. - Was she a friend of mine?

How would I know?

You have so many friends.

- Have you seen her earlier? - You talk so much, don't you?

I've got to teach Monu cycling.

[KIDS CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

Mummy.

- You're late, dear. Where were you? - I was showing Junmun my doll.

It's such a cute doll.

She talks too...

- I see. Whose is it? - Mine. Aunty gave it to me.

- Which Aunty? - The one who gave me the big bunny.

- Does she even come to the school? - Yes. Every day.

Mrs. Panchal.

Just a minute, dear.

Hello, Mrs. Kishore. How are you?

Mrs. Panchal.

Neha says a woman comes to meet her at school.

You mean Nandita Rai? What a nice lady!

Isn't she your relative?

Nandita Rai? I don't know any Nandita Rai!

- But Neha appears to like her. - Neha is a kid!

How can you allow her to meet any stranger?

Let's go, mom. I've got to change and leave for my dance-classes!

- One minute. - Let's go.

Please don't let Neha meet anyone without my permission.

- Sure. I'll take care of it. - Thank you.

Look, dear. You mustn't ever accept toys from a stranger.

- But I know her! - Do you?

- How's she to look at? - Very nice.

- How does she arrive? - In a car. She has a big white car.

Mummy. - Does she bring toys for everyone? Or is it only for you?

Mummy! Mummy!

She's my aunty! Why must she bring toys for everyone?

- What does she talk about? - Everything.

- Everything? - Yes.

She talks about my friends, about what my Dad does...

...about who helps me with my homework...

...and Ram Dulare's antics, too.

Dolly, will you have a chocolate?

- Stop it, Neha. - Hello baby.

Neha, stop it!

What are you crying for?

[HORN HONKS]

Sorry. Sorry, dear.

- Stop crying, dear. - I didn't do anything, Dad...

...and yet, Mom scolded me and broke my doll.

Mom is terrible! I'm not going to talk to her!

You're a big girl now... and you crying! Such a shame!

If anyone hears, what will they say?

Give mummy the phone.

I'll scold her, too.

Make sure it's a nice scolding!

Ask her to take me to my dance classes.

Of course I'll take you, dear.

Mummy is so sorry.

Go and get ready.

Hello.

What happened, love?

- She sounded very upset. - I know.

Anand, do you know of any Nandita Rai?

I surely must. If she's young and beautiful.

Come on Anand. I'm serious.

Do you know her?

Never heard of her.

- Who is this Nandita Rai? - I don't know.

But she keeps meeting Neha, and buys her expensive toys.

What?

The principal took her for a friend of mine and allowed them to meet.

Remember the lady who gave Neha a toy when you were away in Calcutta?

I thought it was Mrs. Malhotra.

But it was this woman!

Who could it be?

And why is she after my child?

Love, you're simply over-reacting.

Nothing to worry about, dear.

Maybe it's an old friend who's trying to surprise us.

We'll soon know.

Don't worry.

- When are you returning? - The day after.

Deciding on the site is taking up my time.

- I miss you. - I miss you too.

Bye.

- What's up? - My book is out in the market.

Congratulations.

- I must get the sales started. - So go ahead.

How can I start the sales till you buy the first book?

- All right. I'll come over tomorrow. - Popular book house is nearby.

- We can return in 15 minutes. - Okay and what about Neha?

We'll return before her class is over.

All right. Ask the watchman to look after Neha.

[INDISTINCT]

Excuse me sir, autograph please.

- You write very well. - Thank you so much.

- Hello Mr. Som Dutt. - Hello, how are you?

I'm fine.

This is for you, Kavita.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

- A minute. [INDISTINCT] - We're getting late, Somu.

- You can get back for this. - Yeah sure.

- He'll be back. - Somu please.

I'll come later. [INDISTINCT]

- Thank you so much. - Please Sir.

- Please. - See you later. Bye.

Till date I can't understand why women chase poets.

What are you saying?! My experience has been quite the opposite!

I've always chased a woman... but I couldn't get hold of her.

You're crazy. Why don't you find a nice girl and marry her?

Really? You should have told me that earlier.

Excuse me!

- Will you marry me? - What?!

I'd be grateful to you...

...please marry me!

- Are you mad? - No. I'm a poet.

I've even had a book published!

Get lost!

Somu, you're impossible. Hurry up or Neha will be all alone.

My God!

Did you see, Madam? I'm a loser.

"A bachelor in this city..."

I told you we'd be late. Neha must be so worried.

- Where are the kids? - They've left.

- What about Neha? - She left too.

Her aunt was here to collect her.

What?

Idiot! I told you not to let her go with anyone!

Neha.

Excuse me. Have you seen a little girl pass by?

- No. We haven't. Come on. - My child!

Neha!

Hello. Hotel Bangalore Queen.

Please connect me to Mr. Anand Kishore. It's very urgent.

He's in Room 405.

Neha!

If he is in the conference room, then call him out. Please.

Hey Kavita.

Neha. [HORN HONKS]

[HORN HONKS]

Neha.

I'm so sorry.

Neha.

Neha.

- Relax, Kavita! Have you gone mad? - Somu.

Here... talk to Anand.

- Anand. - Relax.

Please control yourself.

Listen Kavita.

Hello.

- Kavita please. - I've lost Neha!

- Love... - It's all my fault.

- Listen. Just listen to me. - That same woman has taken her.

- I'll call DCP Kumar right away.- Yes, immediately!

I am calling right away. Don't panic.

Come on.

- Good afternoon, Sir. - Excuse me.

Could you look up the Delhi directory?

- I want to talk to DCP Krishna Kumar. - Right Sir.

- Excuse me. - Yes Sir.

- When's the next flight to Delhi? - Tomorrow morning at seven.

- Please have a ticket booked for me. - Yes, Sir.

Airport and highways; inform every station.

Yes Sir.

- There's this 5-year old kid, Neha, and a woman... - Okay.

Give that top priority. Is that understood?

- Where could she have taken Neha? - Nowhere, Neha. Just relax!

Somu, I'd die if something happens to Neha!

[POLICE SIREN]

Mrs. Kishore, please! Please control yourself.

Look. We are doing our level best.

We want Neha's pictures for television.

- Okay. - We'll send copies at every station.

Okay. I will get them and come.

Please come with me, Mr. Som Dutt.

- Let's meet Neha's principal. - Okay. I'll be back.

She can describe the woman.

Ram Dulare... do it properly.

- "A frame of wood" - RAM DULARE: "Ram Dulare is a horse"

- "When the hammer striked" - "On the horse's tail".

"Ran, ran, the horse ran with its tail high..."

No problem.

Neha...

My child!

Let me go, mom...

My horse will escape!

- Neha. Where had you been, dear? - Nowhere.

- Then how did you get home? - There was this lady in the car.

That nice aunt dropped me!

- Where is she? - She went away.

We tried to stop her, but she was in a hurry.

She told she'd come back.

I tried to stop her and offered her a cup of tea. She refused.

She said she didn't like tea.

I said that was no problem! [TELEPHONE RINGING]

I'll take it.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

- Are you okay, dear? - Yes.

- Hello. Ram Dulare Sinha speaking. - Ramu!

Sir! One moment, sir. I'll call madam.

Sir is on the line.

One minute, dear.

- Hello Anand.- Kavita...

- Neha's returned. - Thank God!

- Where did you find her?- She was here at home.

That woman, Nandita Rai, dropped her.

I can't understand why she's doing all this!

- Strange... is Neha okay? - Yes she's fine.

- Give her the phone. - Talk to your Dad.

Hello Dad.

- How's my little girl? - I'm absolutely all right!

You mustn't accept gifts or go away with strangers, my dear.

But I didn't go anywhere! It was mom who went out with Uncle Somu!

Aunt brought me home after my classes were over.

- You should've waited for mom.- I did.

Even after all the kids had left!

Now listen; you will not go with Aunty Nandita again, okay?

- What if she comes with me? - Well... give your mom the phone.

Okay Dad. I love you

I love you too, dear.

I love you two three four.

- Bye.- Bye.

- Hello. - Neha seems to be all right.

Yes, she's fine.

Could I stay here for another day?

I could deal with all my work.

Okay.

Hey. Don't sound so serious.

What does this woman want?

Why's she ruining our lives?

How can you say such things, darling?

She can't do a thing, you know.

We have set the cops after her.

She'll be exposed soon.

Anand, I can't live without Neha.

You both mean the world to me.

You mean the world to me, too.

You know how much I love you.

Yes.

No one can ever break our love.

- Bye. - Bye.

Kavita.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

I'm sorry, Mr. Anand Kishore.

We couldn't save the baby.

Did you have a nightmare, mom?

Yes, dear!

Go to sleep, dear.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

I can't understand why she brought Neha home, if she had kidnapped her.

Anyway. Don't worry.

The principal and Ram Dulare have given us a description.

We have alerted all the police stations.

We could even have a guard on duty to keep a watch on Neha.

Thank you.

Let me go to school, mom!

I'm bored!

- Play here today, my dear. - Whom will I play with today?

All my friends have gone to school!

Don't be stubborn, dear.

Let her go to school. Why are you so scared?

I'm waiting for Anand to return.

Go on, dear. Play with Ram Dulare.

Go, good girl.

Looks like you have no faith in the police force.

That's not true. It's just that Anand is not around and...

I understand.

Anyway...

- Please don't worry. - Okay.

Nothing will happen to Neha. I promise you that.

- Thank you. - Buh-bye.

Baby. No problem. Milk is ready.

- Baby. - She went to you.

She must be in her room.

- But she isn't in her room. - What are you talking about?!

Truly!

Stop the Commissioner!

Wait, Mr. Commissioner!

Wait, Mr. Commissioner!

- Wait! Mr. Commissioner! - What happened!

Neha.

My child!

Neha. Dear.

Neha. Dear.

Neha. Dear.

Neha. Dear.

Mom, I'm here!

Aunty.

Who are you? Why do you keep meeting Neha?

Why do you give her toys?

Why do you go to her school?

Why are you doing all this?

Do you want to kidnap my daughter?

Tell me.

Why are you ruining our lives?

What are you up to?

What right do you have to do this?

What rights do you have to meet Neha?

Mom.

Nandita Rai... isn't that your name?

What are you up to?

Who are you?

I'm her mother.

Neha is my daughter.

What?!

- Your daughter...?! - Yes.

I have given birth to the child you are a mother to.

Oh my God!

[INDISTINCT]

Give it another thought, Kavita.

I don't really need a child.

I can live with your support.

I know. I've drawn strength from your love to take this decision.

When will she start walking?

Anand!

- She's just a week old. - My friend's in a hurry.

You'd better give the baby the car keys. She'll drive us home!

Mummy.

I haven't come to take Neha back.

She belongs to you. And she will always will.

It's just that I came to take a look at her.

I'm sorry. I've caused you a lot of inconvenience.

How am I to believe that you are indeed Neha's mother?

I have no evidence to prove it.

But... Look into my eyes!

Don't believe me, if my eyes seem to be lying.

Why've you been meeting her secretly?

Why didn't you come out in the open?

I was scared that you might misunderstand me.

I had planned on going back after having met her once.

I don't know what stopped me.

Perhaps it was my feeling of motherhood, perhaps selfishness.

Or my loneliness.

Do not worry. I will go away as suddenly as I came.

When Neha grows up... she might not even remember...

...having met someone like me.

You mustn't tell her either.

I know, I have harassed you a lot.

And believe me, I'd never have come to your house.

But I'm returning tomorrow.

And I wanted to see Neha one last time.

I'm sorry.

I've been so rude to you!

I'm really sorry.

I liked whatever you said.

Neha's lucky to have found a mother like you.

But she loves her Dad more.

- He must be better than you then. - I think so too.

- Hello, dear. - Let's take Aunty home.

I'll show her all my toys!

You invite her, dear.

Some other day, okay?

No! Come with us right now! We live close-by.

Do come. Ram Dulare was also complaining that...

...you left without even a cup of tea the other day.

Okay.

Commissioner! Wait... [TYRE SCREECH]

- Ramu? - Big problem. Baby disappeared!

Kavita.

Yes Somu.

- Where's Neha? - We've found her.

It's okay. She was playing in the park nearby.

There! She was here and I was looking for her all over!

I spilt all the milk running after the commissioner!

- I'll fetch some more. - Get some tea and biscuits too.

I will bring it right away.

- How did it all happen? - You won't believe it.

This is Kittu. A dim doll.

She soils all her clothes!

Really?

Dad got this for me.

Her name is Barbara.

How could you believe her?

You don't know these gangsters!

She can never deceive my eyes.

Look at them.

- This is a nice doll! - Like your Dad, eh?

That isn't Dad. Dad's away making a huge building in Bangalore.

- So who's that? - Uncle Somu!

Uncle Somu!

- Here's your milk... have it. - No.

Please drink it. I'll play donkey for you.

No thank you! I hate milk!

- Do you like chocolate then? - Very much!

So my little darling will have chocolate today!

Don't you have a daughter?

I do. She's just like you.

And where is she?

Here. In my lap.

- But my name is Neha! - My daughter's name is Neha too.

Really? But why are you cying?

Caught you! My mom cries sometimes when she's hugging me too.

- You're a sweet girl. - I like you too.

Tea is served, madam.

Anything else?

- Thank you, Ram Dulare. - Mention not.

- Come... - I'll see you in the evening tomorrow.

It's my day off, you know.

- Okay. It's all right. - Mention not.

Nandita.

- What will you have? Tea or coffee? - Black coffee.

I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce you to Somu.

- Somu, this is Nandita. - I already know him.

- Really? How? - You know me too?

Yes. Neha told me everything about everyone.

But there's something I didn't tell you.

What?

I just can't understand his poetry!

Neha.

Here you go, Nandita.

- Where are you put up? - At the Radisson.

Thank you.

- Biscuit? - No, thank you.

- Offer me some! - Help yourself, dear!

- I have a request, Kavita. - Yes?

My train leaves tomorrow morning.

If it isn't a problem,

...could Neha and I spend...

I won't send her to the hotel, but you can stay here tonight.

Anand's arriving tomorrow.

You can meet him too.

Thank you.

Yes. That'd be fun!

I'll sleep with you tonight!

You must tell me a story!

Okay.

Why don't you call the hotel.

Somu'll pick up your luggage. And you can go straight to the station.

Sure, no problem.

Let's play a computer game, Aunty!

Sure.

Isn't it strange?

Neha hardly knows Nandita...

...but she's so comfortable.

She's her mother, Somu.

The two of you have gone crazy!

She couldn't have known who has adopted her daughter!

We have very strict adoption laws!

I wouldn't know about all that. Ask her whatever you want to.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

- I'll be back soon. - Where are you going?

To the Raddisson. To pick up Nandita's luggage.

- Is she here then? - Yes. They're waiting for you.

- Kavita. - Yes.

- Hi. - What was Somu talking about?

Why did you allow her to stay here?

- Why don't you meet her, Anand? - Why must I?

How do you know what she wants?

I think she's an impostor!

Where is she? And where is Neha? Neha...

Dad.

- Hi, dear. - Wash your hands, dirty girl!

Dad's suit would have gotten ruined.

Come on, wash your face and your hands. Hurry up!

Ms. Nandita Rai?

Yes.

[TRAIN HORN BLOWING]

[SCREAM]

Oh, no.

Help!

Help!

Kill her!

Hey!

Leave her alone!

[TRAIN HORN BLOWING]

Leave me.

Who is it?

Rip him apart!

[TRAIN HORN BLOWING]

Neha!

- Let me braid your hair! - No!

Neha. It's almost time for school.

- Neha, I'll fall. - No.

She is not allowing me to apply oil too.

Should I cut it?

No way! Aunty says I have very nice hair.

Here I am.

Your check-out is done.

Could I now have 20 bucks and 75 cents for my services? Cash!

Thank you.

All right. I'll forget the 20 bucks for your beautiful smile,...

...but give me my 75 cents!

Watch it, Somu. You need a chance to start flirting.

- Drop Neha at school, will you? - No! I'll go with Dad!

Hey, wait!

- You must come along too, Aunty! - She's going to the station, Neha.

- And you have to get ready too. - No.

- When will you come again? - Some time again.

Good! We'll visit the zoo then!

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

- What happened? - Dad will now come and say,

'I've forgotten the keys...'

He'll go and give mom a kiss and return with the keys.

Dad, you've forgotten the keys, right?

No, dear. No.

- Bye Mummy. - Bye dear.

- Bye Aunty. - Bye.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Anand is a nice person.

Neha's a lucky girl.

Thank you.

[WHISTLING]

What's up, Dad?

You're forgetting everything!

Know what, Dad? Aunty has a Neha just like me!

- Really? Who else does she have? - I didn't ask.

- Do you like Aunty? - Very much!

The first edition is sold out in three days.

The second one is now in print.

You haven't worked any wonders.

That's just how lucky I am.

Know what the title of my new book is?

- What is it? - 'Mother'.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Hello?

The project papers have arrived, sir. - Thank you Neeta.

- Cancel my meeting for this morning. - Okay Sir.

- I'll be late in reaching the office. - Right sir. Bye.

Bye.

Could you find out if the train to Banaras is on time, Anand?

If it's late, I'm afraid Somu will drive Nandita crazy with his poetry!

Do you have an allergy to poetry?

Not at all.

Is the train to Banaras on time?

Okay. Thank you.

It's late by two hours.

Excellent.

- I will recite my new poems then. - Let her finish her breakfast!

- What's up? - Nothing at all.

Don't lie. You get caught.

You haven't even looked at me since you've arrived.

Were you taken aback to see Nandita here?

What nonsense!

Strange ironies of life.

I wonder how she feels.

- Has she given you her address? - She doesn't want to.

She said she's happy to see Neha here...

...and won't come back again.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Hello!

Today you've a meeting with Mr. Bansal. - Yes Neeta.

You're coming right?

I told you I'd be late.

Ask them to leave, if they can't wait!

But Sir, the project...

Anand, what's wrong?

You're okay, aren't you?

Nothing. I'm sorry.

Tired?

You didn't like my allowing her to stay here, did you?

She's leaving, Anand.

And I wanted you to meet her once.

All right. I'll change and come downstairs.

I could drop her at the station on my way to the office.

Okay. But don't ask her awkward questions.

I don't know what she is going through.

You stay away for so many days... Don't you ever miss me?

Liar!

Good idea. 234569.

Make an enquiry again.

Once the train is delayed, there's no saying when it'll leave.

In that case, you'll have to drop her at the station, Somu.

No problem.

32 Up Banaras train, please?

- It left at 11:05 a.m. - Wasn't it late by 2 hours?

No, ma'am. It was right on time. And it has left.

All right. Thank you.

It's delayed by more two hours.

- And perhaps... - It might even be cancelled! Wonderful!

I suggest you cancel your trip today.

Somu's right. Why don't you stay back today?

- You... - Don't be formal!

You're not leaving today.

I'll show you the city and we'll have a party at my place this evening.

That's enough, prince. Won't you ask Nandita what she wants?

I know the city, but I might as well buy some books, since I'm here.

Very well. I'll take you to the Popular book house.

You'll find my books there!

Sure.

I'm leaving for the office.

Aren't you forgetting something?

- Bye. - Bye.

What a coincidence! I gave Kavita the first copy of this edition...

...and I'm giving you the last copy!

- Thank you. - No, Sir. We have another copy.

Shut up.

- For you. - Thank you.

- When is your next book arriving? - Soon.

Hello Sir.

Have you read 'What the heart wants'?

- Sure. - How did you like it?

- Your love-poems are great. - A new poem is coming.

Which one, Sir?

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

You?

Sorry... did I startle you?

No. I expected to meet you here.

Please sit down.

Good afternoon, Sir.

Coffee?

Okay.

- Black. Without sugar. - Yes, Ma'am.

- The same for me. - Yes, Sir.

- I don't know... - I don't know...

Where to begin from?

Forgive me for lying about the train.

I had so many questions to ask, when I saw you again.

I wanted to talk to you too.

This girl... Neha...?

You're right. She's our child.

But you never did...

Didn't you...

No. I didn't get married.

Anand! What are you doing here?

I thought I'd buy your book and encourage you.

I happened to meet her here.

You are miles away from the book shop?

If I didn't know you so well,

I'd have suspected something fishy!

The way you're reacting I think something is fishy.

Excuse me... will someone ask me...

...if something is indeed fishy?

- Look, sir. - Where is the original plan?

- This is the plan. - Show.

Yes, Sir.

You have just four elevators in such a huge building. I had planned six.

The beam width is narrow and you have altered the site's elevation too.

Mr. Kapoor, this is not right. I'm sorry, this won't do.

I had warned.

Hello?

- Tomorrow evening's flight is confirmed, sir. - Flight? Where to?

To Calcutta. You have a meeting with the 'Bansal's, sir.

- Cancel the meeting. - Are you sure? You said it was important.

- Just cancel it. - Okay Sir.

- Fix it up for next week instead. - Okay.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Hello.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Oh God!

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Hello?

Idiot! Why must you call and not speak?

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

- Nandita... [TELEPHONE RINGING] - Yes.

Could you take the call, please?

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Hello.

Nandita, I'm waiting for you at the old fort.

Who was it?

No one spoke.

- 'Why have you stopped?' - NANDITA: 'I'm scared.'

- 'But why?' - 'I don't know.'

"Let's go to such a place, my partner, where no one else is there."

"Where no one smiles or cries on seeing us."

"I decorated flowers on the bed, and I slept on thorns."

[BIRD CHIRPING]

- Are they all here? - Yes, sir.

'ONLY FOOLS, IDIOTS AND DONKEYS WORK ON SUNDAYS'

Good. C'mon, asses. To the boardroom.

Too much!

- At least spare us on Sundays! - Yes!

Sure I would. If you worked the rest of the days.

I've just got married. At this rate, my wife will divorce me.

I'll have you married again. Give Kunal the report.

I've got to complete the summary.

Complete it now.

I must ship it this evening.

Yes, sure.

Yes, Kavita?

I'm at the market... who else is coming to Somu's place?

The lab area ought to be here.

Their fax says it must be over here.

Hello?

Yes, I'm listening.

I'm cooking some veg food.

Do you want some non-veg too?

Let's have something attractive in such a beautiful building!

Hello?

Know what? Ask Somu.

Somu?

And you guys think something for the wings.

Hello.

- Think of what? - Who's that?

Ram Dulare here, sir! I'm shopping for Mr. Somu's party.

Do we use a concrete slab here?

Are you listening, Sir? The chickens here are not good.

- Let's use stones instead. - But how will I fry the stones?

This will take all day!

My wife will definitely divorce me!

A call from your house, sir.

Hello.

What dress should I wear this evening, Dad?

This marble at the reception doesn't go well, Anand.

Wear that pink dress, dear.

- Limestone would be a good choice. - I have four pink dresses...

...which one do I wear?

Tell me, Dad!

- Well? Marble or limestone? - Mutton or chicken, sir?

Tell me what dress I must wear, Dad!

We're wasting so much of time... my divorce is a certainty.

Shut up, everybody!

Taka of Japan is waiting for my report in Bangalore...

...and here I am busy with chicken and mutton!

Damn!

No! I'm not going to eat! [CHUCKLES]

You're right, Nandita. You're happy as long as you're single and independent.

Sour grapes, mister. You'll know when you get married.

May I ask you something if it's not too personal?

Why didn't you get married?

Well... it was my circumstances and destiny, I guess.

It isn't easy for a woman to live like this.

Didn't you ever try?

I did.

But someone's memories always stopped me from going ahead.

I think you're hiding something.

She must have her constraints.

That's the problem. Constraints are only for women.

As if the man would consider...

...what Nandita has gone through.

- Didn't you ever meet that chap? - I did.

- What did he have to say? - I didn't ask.

Why not?

He has a beautiful world of his own.

And he's happy too.

And there's no place for you in that world, right?

- It's the same old story. - Men! They are irresponsible!

The man must perhaps have blundered...

...and never got the opportunity to make up for it.

He wouldn't, even if he had the opportunity!

What would you do if a woman turns up with a 5-year old kid...

...and says it's the offspring of your relations?

Will you throw out your wife and kid, and invite her in?

Maintaining relations is difficult. Forging them isn't.

But I have nothing against him.

It all happened in the spur of the moment.

You can't have a baby in the spur of the moment, Nandita.

You're magnanimous, but I could never forgive such a man.

Okay, don't forgive him.

Now tell me, which ice-cream will you have?

Chocolate!

- I'm stuffed. - I'll have dad's share!

Sure.

You haven't shown Nandita your collection of paintings, Somu.

I would, if you allowed me to.

Come.

Will you have chocolate or ice-cream?

This is a 200-hundred year old painting.

Look at the texture...

...the smile, the eyes...

The pain I see in her eyes,

I see in your eyes, too.

Do I look 200 years old to you?

I mean... okay tell me. What do you think of my poems?

They're very good.

Anand is a lucky man.

Let's go out, Dad. I want to see the stars.

Okay, come on. Wipe it please.

- Which stars do you want to see? - Those red, yellow, green...

- What happened? - Well, she saw my paintings...

- And? - And I made her read my poetry.

- And what else? - And? Well...

I understand!

You can't do anything!

I'm having fun.

No matter how much I help, you'll remain an idiot, Somu!

You're being funny!

What do you want me to do?

Grab her hand and pop the question?

Such a nice girl is not for you, Somu.

I've set a record in missing out on nice girls.

- I haven't been joking! - It's fun.

Look how happy Neha is!

Marry Nandita.

You'll be a happy man.

Up...

- Neha. - Yes Mom.

C'mon in, dear! You'll catch a cold.

Hurry up... C'mon!

I'm thinking of returning by tomorrow morning's train.

Can't you stay for a few more days?

The more I stay, the more difficult it will be to go away.

Will going away make things easier?

You went away without a word last time.

Do not make haste now.

"Sometimes you were not there and sometimes I was not there."

"Sometimes you were not there and sometimes I was not there."

Have you seen these new drawings, Anand?

Anand, are you fine?

Why? What's wrong?

You had to study the America House drawings.

And you're looking at the video city drawings.

This project is almost complete.

Sorry. My mind was elsewhere.

I can see that.

Okay, go through these designs.

The Ambani's are expected at four.

Can't we cancel the meeting?

Why? What's wrong?

Nothing much...

Listen, send Nandita in.

Nandita?

I mean, my secretary Neeta.

Nandita!

No, Neha... not me!

Not near me, Neha.

I'll tell you a story!

I caught you!

Okay.

- I got it... - Come on, try to catch me.

Look Neha. I can hear something.

- Catch me. - I'm going to catch you.

Caught you!

The Thief is caught!

- But I wasn't even playing with you. - But you've been caught!

Oh my God!

You folks are still playing here!

Aren't we going to the party?

- What party? - Have you forgotten?

It's the annual bash at the Jodhpur palace.

Which dress should I wear, uncle Somu?

You can't go there, dear.

It's only for grown-ups.

Such spoil-sports! Why don't they call kids too?

Go ahead, all of you. I'll stay back with Neha.

- Yes! We'll play carrom! - All right. I won't go either.

- Why not? - It's a party for couples.

Go ahead with Kavita.

I'll stay back for a game of carrom.

Take Kavita with you...

I have a headache.

So why didn't you tell me?

- It's just a mere... - Oh God! No one will go to the party now!

Don't do that, please.

All right. I'm game. Let's see what parties you have here.

Come.

Welcome... you're late!

Join the party. Please sit down.

This won't do!

Join them all! Please. Go.

She's dancing well.

Well? You were certainly in the mood to dance today!

Remember when you first danced like that?

In Bangkok. When we were on our honeymoon.

Nandita dances well.

I was only accompanying her.

- She can't be better than me. - Really?

What are you up to? I have my karate classes in the morning!

Tired?

That's what comes out of dancing with two girls.

Nandita is a nice girl.

How will she be for Somu?

Somu's interested in her...

If you say I could talk to her.

Good night.

It's very cold, isn't it?

- Nandita. - Yes?

Why do you keep running away from me?

I haven't forgiven myself for what happened that night.

I must've been out of my senses.

I felt so guilty. I had protected you. And yet...

Please don't say such things.

I'm equally responsible for what happened.

Whenever I have passed the station of Mughalsarai...

I've looked for you in the crowds on the platform.

Why did you go away without saying anything?

Had I known this is what would have happened...

I'd never have left without talking to you.

I felt that night as if...

I had lived many lives.

I'm still not sure whether that was a dream... or for real.

I felt like waking you up and talking to you.

'But I was afraid, it would shatter my dream.'

'I got off the train at the station with your memories in my heart.'

I was going back home after a year.

I had stood first in the University.

My father was very happy.

We had a flourishing business in Banarasi zari.

My daughter is one in a million!

I've been both father and mother to her.

Shyamlal, fortunate will be the one who marries her.

- There's no hitch in the horoscopes. - Rahul is returning from London.

So let's fix a date for the wedding.

The Panchami is an auspicious date.

'I felt the ground slip under my feet.'

'I felt like leaving everything and go looking for you.'

'But I couldn't muster the courage.'

'But I was also afraid of what I'd say to you... '

'...what if you would not believe me?'

How have I lacked in bringing you up that you are punishing me?

Tell me! Who is responsible for this sin?

I'll fall at his feet and ask him to marry you! So tell me!

I don't know. I really don't!

I can't face anyone anymore.

When you don't even know him, why give birth to the baby?

You have a long life ahead.

So let bygones be bygones!

Think of your future.

I can't give you the permission for an abortion.

Nobody would take the risk after all the tests we've done.

I am afraid that it's too late.

I can't give birth to this baby, doctor...

I'm sorry, my dear.

Only God can prevent this birth.

I can do nothing. I'm sorry.

We have only one way now.

It was a strange predicament. With Neha in my womb...

I kept thinking of you. Every moment.

Where were you?

Why weren't you there with me?

I don't know why, but I always thought...

...that you'd suddenly turn up.

[SHOUTS]

Nandita, dear... be brave.

- It's a baby-girl. - Let me see...

- How's she to look at? - No! Ganga, tell her.

She had promised not to look at the baby!

The car is waiting for you.

Come straight to Banaras from Delhi.

I couldn't even see the baby I had borne.

My father tried to get me married again.

My alliance was even fixed with a father of two in America.

But I couldn't bring myself about to agree to it.

I joined a University in Australia and spent 5 years there.

Then I suddenly got word of my father's death.

I returned, so my aunt couldn't control herself.

She gave me the address of the orphanage she had left Neha in.

I had a tough time winning over the clerk at the orphanage...

...and it was she who gave me your address.

You bore it all alone...?

I was never alone.

You have always been with me.

And look at the ways of God!

God plays. I was separated from Neha... but she found you.

You have gone through a lot.

I have given you nothing.

What can I even ask for?

I can return peacefully now.

I want to tell Kavita everything.

Please don't do that.

No one can understand our relationship.

No woman can ever share her husband.

I don't want to hurt Kavita. She's a good mother and a wife.

But I... I've been able to do nothing for you.

But this can't continue... you must get your due.

Anand!

What the hell is going on here?

Please cool down.

- I'll explain everything... - Explain what?!

What were you doing with that woman?!

Hear me out, Kavita... please.

You can't even imagine what sorrows Nandita has faced.

So you were wiping her tears with her in your arms?

I was doing nothing of the sort.

- Why don't you... - You think I'm blind?

I was a fool not to have noticed it all these days!

'She's a great dancer indeed'

And there you were with her, before the world...!

Oh Anand, you're pathetic!

- Kavita, please... - I'll deal with you later!

I'll first throw that woman out!

I want that woman out of this house.

Nandita will certainly leave...

...but not like this.

How else then?

- With due respect. - Only because she's Neha's mother?

And also because...

I'm Neha's real father.

What?

You've been having an affair with this woman for six years!

Believe me, Kavita... we never even met.

Oh shut up, Anand!

I've had enough!

I can't take this anymore!

Kavita, please...

Oh, shut up!

You! How dare you come into my bedroom?

Get out!

Mummy.

I've had a nightmare...

Please may I sleep with you?

Please let me, mom.

Mummy, please say yes.

I'm very scared.

I've had a nightmare... Please may I sleep with you?

This is it!

Not anymore! She won't go away...

So I'm walking out!

What are you doing, Kavita?

Please try to understand!

It was a mistake I made!

Please...

Love, I'm sorry.

Kavita, at least listen.

Kavita.

Kavita, what happened?

Anand?

Somu, make her...

- Let's go, Somu... - What's all this about?!

Wait, Kavita...

At least, listen to me!

What happened? What's the matter?

Cheat! Fraud!

Oh my God!

What a betrayal!

I was a fool to believe him all these years!

What haven't I done for him? And look at me.

What did I get?

- I'll never forgive him. - Get a hold on yourself...

Why, oh why?!

Was it only because I couldn't give him a child?!

Oh God!

What a conspiracy they hatched, Somu!

They had a rollicking time for six years...

...had a baby and sent it away to the orphanage!

And I, like an idiot, had faith in him!

I gave up everything for him!

And see what he did!

He snatched everything away from me!

I've loved Neha more than a mother would. He snatched her too!

I hate this man!

- I just hate him! - Kavita... Kavita please.

God! What a smooth operator!

He was romancing with that woman, right under my nose!

And I... it's all my mistake!

But I won't make this mistake again!

I'll leave that man!

I'll never return to that house!

I will not go back! I will leave that Anand Kishore.

Let him live with that woman!

Let him live with that her!

I hate both of them! Smooth operators!

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Oh God! How could I have not have known?!

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

How could I have not have known?!

Anand? Right now she is...

What? Tell him to go to hell!

Somu, give her the phone. Please.

Kavita. At least talk to him.

My lawyer will talk!

Yes Mr. Anand Kishore. What more can I do for you?!

Love. I'm your culprit...

I've made a mistake.

Punish me as you will...

Oh shut up! Cut out the dramatics.

You've fooled me enough!

You're very angry.

Please think with a calm mind.

Neha can't live without you.

So you want me to play the maid in that house?!

- What are you talking about? - I don't want to talk to you!

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Do you want to leave?

Staying here hasn't helped matters.

Don't take offense at what Kavita said.

In her shoes, perhaps...

I'd also have...

Call her back soon.

What are you talking about? Are you sure he's the same man?

Aunty, how can I ever forget him?

And how about Neha? Did you meet her?

How's she to look at?

She's very beautiful.

I remember. She had eyes just like yours.

Everything else is like Anand's.

I've found happiness of a lifetime in these few days, Aunty.

When I wanted to leave this morning... my feet froze.

I didn't have the courage to awaken her.

I longed to embrace her and kiss her one last time.

But what could I have told her?

So I just had an eye-full and left.

Didn't Anand try to stop you?

Had he nothing to say?

What would he say?

I can't bear to see his grief.

- What about your sorrows? - What sorrows?

I've found everything. I found everything.

A sweet daughter...

An angel-like man...

They are very happy.

Whom are you trying to fool?

What did you get in the end?

Aunty...

See, luck took you to there.

Don't give up everything.

You won't get this opportunity again.

Neither will you get your daughter... nor your man.

How can you say such things, aunt?

I've caused strife in their happy family.

What if that woman doesn't return?

And what if she doesn't love Neha anymore?

Our child will be orphaned.

How will Anand manage on his own?

I'm returning by this evening's train.

- Aunt... - It's all my mistake.

Hadn't I given in to your father...

Neha would have been with you today.

I have sinned!

Do not curse yourself, aunt...

...perhaps it's all in my destiny.

I wish I could see Neha once.

Mummy!

- Get Mummy! Meet my demands. - Our demands.

- Do you want anything, sir? - Nothing.

No problem.

- Today, Neha's dad will dress her up. - Okay.

That's all right, but who will help you?

I'll dress up on my own.

I see... but do you even know where your socks are?

I know everything.

- What is this? - Your uniform.

- What day is it today? - Tuesday.

So today is physical training day!

Want any help, sir?

Help the kid dress up... I'll prepare the breakfast.

No problem!

I like my milk cold, Dad!

Don't just stand around there! Help me out!

Problem, sir... In your haste you've worn two different socks.

You call Mummy!

You don't know a thing!

Yes, call madam back. Then no problem.

Shut up!

I know everything.

Everything is a problem.

[WHISTLING]

Whistle with me!

- Mummy fought with you, didn't she? - When? Not at all.

Don't lie, Dad!

You always get caught!

Okay... she was very angry.

Didn't you say 'sorry'?

She went away before I could say that, dear.

But why was she angry?

You won't understand, dear.

Of course I will, Dad. Try explaining.

Mummy got to know that Aunt Nandita is your mother.

Aunty? My mother?

Isn't mummy my mother?

- Mummy's your second mother. - And Aunty's my first mother?

- So why has Aunty left? - I don't know, dear.

She will come back, won't she?

[HORN HONKS]

- Bye Dad. - Bye dear.

- I love you. - I love you two, three, four.

Call for you, madam.

Hello.

Kavita... Please Kavita.

I have nothing to discuss with you!

Kavita, listen...

- Chhotu! - Yes!

Hurry up and get me a cup of tea!

Okay.

We have sunshine after ages today.

So let's go out somewhere. Shall we?

Somu, I just came over to your place like this.

I don't want to be a burden or inconvenience to you in any way.

Have you had your say?

- Or is there anything else? - No. What I mean to say Somu is...

I want a promise from you, Kavita.

You will have faith in me and try to be very happy, okay?

I have always been waiting for you to need me...

...so I could make you happy.

No. No. No.

I want another promise.

You will not cry anymore.

Come to think of it, your tearful eyes are very beautiful.

- Really. Their depth... - Somu!

Oh my God! There goes the poet in me again!

But I can't help it. That's how you are.

Okay...

I'm going to the press for a while.

- We'll go out after that. Okay? - Okay.

[SIGHS]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

The horse is ringing?

Oh, the phone is ringing.

Let's gallop, horsey. [TELEPHONE RINGING]

Let's gallop, horsey.

Hello.

Hello.

This is Ram Dulare Sinha speaking.

Sir, madam and Neha, no one is at home.

It is just me here.

How are you, Ram Dulare?

No problem.

Madam! I have a problem! And a confusion!

Since the time you've left, Sir has doubled the work.

- He doesn't let me help at all! - What does that mean?

He dresses up Neha on his own.

He prepares the breakfast... and makes me stand outside the kitchen!

Why? Doesn't Nandita help?

- She has left! - Left?

With bag and baggage!

I brought her the cab!

- Don't tell your Sir I had called. - No problem.

- Could I tell Neha at least? - I'll talk to her myself.

No problem. No problem.

Come on. Quiet!

Rubbish! How could anyone have two mummies?

My father never lies!

He said my first mummy is actually my second...

...and my second mother is actually my first!

Because he didn't find my first mummy first...

...he met my second mummy.

So she's my first mummy!

- Understand? - No.

Oh God! He is so dumb!

Neha!

I haven't even got the drawings.

How'll I prepare the estimates?

C'mon, Balsara.

Look, all the details are here.

'4 o'clock, time to pick up Neha.'

Sorry folks, I'm leaving.

'4 o'clock, time to pick up Neha.'

I hope you're returning. We must send the estimates this evening.

No way. I'm on duty with my daughter after 4 p.m.

Hurry up, Somu... it's time for Neha's school break.

I can't say if Anand will remember.

Neha might will get worried waiting at the school.

So let's hurry.

I'm sorry, my train is late by three hours.

I thought I'd bid Neha good-bye.

I left when she was asleep this morning.

It's perfectly fine. You did a good thing by coming.

Thanks. I hope you don't mind?

Don't say such things.

She's your daughter too.

You may meet her any time you wish.

And you?

[BELL]

Hi, Dad!

- Is she your second mummy? - God! She's my first mummy!

My second mummy's away at Uncle Somu's!

Have you told Neha everything?

I hid a truth... and my wife left me!

I don't want to hide another truth and lose my daughter, too.

- Where did you go, Aunty mummy? - I was around, dear...

- So let's go home! - It's time for her train, dear.

But you had promised that we'd visit the zoo!

Actually, I...

I'll take you there.

Where's she going away, leaving me behind?

- You mustn't be stubborn, Neha. - You mustn't break a promise.

Stay back, if you can. You may leave tomorrow.

Okay.

What Anand is doing isn't right.

I'll have a word with him.

That isn't necessary, Somu.

I can take care of my life.

- I'm only trying to help... - I've told you.

I don't want any pity.

- Sorry Somu. I was held up. - Yes. You're busy nowadays.

Well? What is it?

How's Kavita?

Fantastic! Top of the world!

Come on, Somu. Have a heart!

I can't even talk to her... She doesn't take my calls!

Maybe she doesn't want to talk to you at all.

Please make her see reason.

Neha's missing her very much.

- Why don't you send Neha to her? - Are you mad Somu? How will I live?

- Why not? You have... - What do you mean?

Come on. How many pies will you have your fingers in?

Now don't you talk like this about Nandita...

The whole world is talking about the two of you.

And come to think of it...

She's young and beautiful.

- And she is the mother of your child. - Enough, Somu!

Okay. I'll talk to Kavita.

But I don't think that will help.

Oh my God. I'm sorry. Kavita must be waiting for me.

[CRICKET CHIRPING]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Hello?

You take ages to pick up the phone, mummy!

Sorry, dear.

I was in the garden.

Why aren't you coming home?

It's just that...

Are you still angry with Dad?

Hasn't he said sorry to you?

- Didn't you go to school today? - I did.

But Dad made me wear the wrong dress again.

- Who brought you back from school? - Ramu did.

Know what, mummy?

We had been to the zoo.

We had a nice time!

We had rides and ice-creams.

But mummy, I miss you...

Neha, dear...

Mummy, I think of you all the time.

Mummy...

Yes dear...

Dad says, Aunt Nandita is my first mummy.

But I'm your daughter... Isn't that right?

Yes. You're my daughter.

- So why don't you come to me? - I will, dear. I sure will.

I'll come over with Ramu, if you don't.

Don't do that... I'll come over.

Good, we'll go to zoo again and have lots of fun.

Sure. We'll have a lot of fun.

- Come soon, mom... - Of course, dear.

- Promise? - Promise.

- Bye. - Bye dear.

Don't worry, Mr. Som Dutt.

I'm a divorce-specialist.

This is my hundredth case.

I've had ninety nine couples split already.

Fantastic!

This is how you must appear in court.

One look at you and the judge will issue a decree in your favour.

Court? I don't understand.

Kavita, this is the lawyer, Mr. Meghani. He has all the documents ready.

What papers?

These are your case papers. We have pressed charges of mental torture,

...infidelity and illicit relations with a woman.

You'll get a divorce in the first hearing.

- A divorce? - Of course!

I'll make life miserable for Mr. Anand Kishore!

Mr. Meghani, he has filed a claim for Neha's custody on your behalf.

- She'll now live with you. - Now wait a moment...

What's going on, Somu?

How can I decide like this?

Well! We seem to be keener than she is!

Kavita, what are you saying?

You saw it all yesterday!

- You spoke of leaving Anand! - I did.

But I need some time...

...to think it over.

What is left to think about?

Do you expect Anand to call you back as his wife again?

Where is your self-respect?

How much more will you bear?!

Please Somu. I need time.

I need more time.

- Okay. Mr. Meghani. - Yes.

Leave the papers here.

- Did Mummy say sorry to you? - No.

Did you call her? Or talk to her?

How will I talk to her, dear?

She doesn't take my calls.

I'll make her talk to you!

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Hello.

Hello, May I speak to Mrs. Kavita Anand Kishore please?

- This is Miss Neha Kishore here! - Neha.

- Why don't you come home? - Ask your Dad that question.

Will you return if Dad says sorry to you?

- He won't say that, dear. - Of course, he will.

Talk to her, dad.

Don't refuse him, mummy!

Speak up, Dad!

- Kavita. - I have nothing to talk to you about.

Did she hang up?

- She's becoming bad! - No. I'm the one who's bad.

I'll personally go and apologise to her.

Promise?

Promise.

- Greetings. - Is madam Kavita in?

Yes she is.

- What is this? - Just what you see.

Who gave Kavita the idea?

Kavita is no kid, Anand.

She can think for herself.

And she's right too.

How much will she tolerate you?

So it was your advice. I wish I knew what a friend you are.

You should've been tending to her wounds...

...and you were instead rubbing salt on them.

I couldn't imagine you'd fall so much!

Who are you calling a fallen man?

- You're the one who has stooped! - Shut up!

No matter what happens between Kavita and me. You will...

Stop it Anand! Just stop it!

She's my wife.

- My wife... remember that! - What wife?!

What are you talking?

Have you left me worthy of being called that?

I've made a mistake, all right! So what do I do?

Kill myself? Hang to death?!

Is this the punishment you will give me?

Will putting your signature on this give you any peace?

You have found peace in what you have done, haven't you?

You have a lover, a wife, a kid... everything!

- What are you talking about?! - Enough! Skip the drama, Anand Kishore!

After what you've done to Kavita,...

...what did you expect?

A bouquet from her?

With a thank-you note?

It's all your doing.

You have instigated her!

You could never stomach the fact that she had left you for me.

And now that you have the opportunity...

But remember... Kavita is my wife.

And I'll never give her a divorce!

- I'll see what you're going to do. - Somu will do nothing, Anand.

It'd be me who will do it!

Now get out of here.

She wants a divorce... as if marriage were a child's play!

We have taken vows around the sacred fire... and what is more,...

...we have loved each other.

How can she just break it?

Does one mistake render everything to dust?

We have built this relationship bit by every bit!

Over the years, we have lived for each other. Will all that be over just...

I love her Nandita and she loves me.

How can she talk of leaving me?

How can she think of living without me?!

I will never leave her... She hasn't sacrificed any less for me.

She gave up her career, her ambitions... She left her father too!

Will all these sacrifices be finished for just one mistake?

Just for one mistake all the sacrifices, all the love will be finished?

You won't understand, Nandita.

When you have someone to love you...

...it changes the meaning of your life.

One always looks for ways to keep the other happy.

I'd find myself all alone without Kavita.

My life would be meaningless. Whom would I live for?

And she too...

It can't happen!

No way. She has to come back.

I love her Nandita. I love her.

C'mon, Kavita.

You're late. It's time for the hearing.

Let's hurry up.

Come on.

Kavita.

Come on, Kavita.

Just a minute, Kavita.

Kavita, wait.

What are you up to, Kavita?

Please don't do this!

- Let go of my hand, Anand. - Please hear me out!

- Speak to the Judge, Mr. Anand Kishore. - You stay out of this!

Come on, Kavita.

Kavita.

Enough, Mr. Anand!

Please don't disturb my client. Or else...

Let's go.

Damn!

Excuse me, I want your signatures on this.

Kavita, sign this.

- Kavita don't. - Kavita, just sign it.

Case No. 453. Kavita Kishore Vs Anand Kishore.

- Hurry up! Hurry up! - Come on.

Mr. Anand.

- What is it? - Case papers. You haven't signed it yet.

Come on, Kavita.

Remove the file.

Mr. Anand Kishore.

Mr. Anand Kishore, please.

Yes, your honour.

Mrs. Kavita Kishore.

Yes, your honour.

Do you want a divorce from Mr. Anand Kishore?

Yes, your honour.

Your lawyer claims that Mr. Anand Kishore has betrayed you,...

...he has tortured you and has inflicted atrocities on you.

He had illicit relations with another woman.

That he brought one Nandita home... and threw you out in the middle of the night.

That's a lie, Your Honour.

Kavita, please. Let's not...

One moment, Mr. Anand.

I'll record your statement later.

Please ask her to talk to me, Your Honour.

If not for me, she must at least think of our daughter!

Daughter? In whose custody is she?

She's in Mr. Anand's custody.

He has forcibly taken possession.

We have filed a claim for her custody.

That's a lie, Your Honour.

Mrs. Kishore herself walked out on her daughter...

I beg of you, sir... Please stop it!

[CLOCK TICKING]

15th October. Please file an affidavit for the child.

- Come to my chamber, Mr. Som Dutt. - Okay.

- I'll have the affidavit ready. - Okay.

- Kavita. - Come on.

Did you see all the dim linen being washed in public... when we take family matters...

...to the courts?

We still have time.

Have faith in me. Let's go home.

We have a world of our own... with you, me and Neha.

There can be no one else!

Are you sure there won't be anyone else?

- No one. - Then why is she here?

Why are you here Miss Nandita Rai?

Or shall I say Mrs. Nandita Kishore?

I know Kavita,

I have hurt you knowingly or unknowingly.

But believe me. Before I came to your house...

I didn't know it was Anand's house too.

Oh really.

You bore his child! And you didn't even know where he stayed!

I'm speaking the truth.

I didn't even know his name.

Don't you know what we call women who don't know the name...

...of their child's father?

Please don't say that! Neha is as much your child as she is mine.

- Please trust me... - Trust?! What trust?

Do you even know what that means?

It was out of trust that I gave you place in my house.

It was out of trust that I shared Neha's love with you.

But you have always betrayed my trust!

I am homeless because of you. I've lost my husband and my child!

And I must trust you?!

Believe me, I did nothing deliberately.

Maybe I have lost your trust.

But I come in the hope that since you are a woman and a mother,...

...perhaps you will be able to forgive me.

I will not lie to you.

I was over-whelmed to see Neha in your house.

I was happy that she had found a better mother than me.

I wanted to go away.

But I couldn't control myself when I found Anand there.

I didn't ever want to break your home.

But when you walked out of the house,

I felt like... maybe...

I started getting hopes.

I thought this was perhaps God's way of justice...

You've had your share of joy.

And it was my turn now.

But nothing ever belonged to me.

Anand could have done anything to me, after you had left.

Anything!

And I'd have happily consented.

But no... he respected me for being the mother of his child. That is all.

You might call our physical relationship a sin...

...but you can't imagine what an ordeal we had gone through.

Swinging between life and death...

...we did stagger that moment.

Anand loves only you, Kavita.

There's nothing lacking in his love.

He loves only you.

More than anything else in the world.

More than himself.

That's the truth.

And nobody knows it better than me.

When you know so much, why are you staying in my house?

- Why don't you go away? - I will.

I came here to go away.

But there's something I must ask for.

- Give it to me in charity. - Now what do you want?

Neha.

What?!

Give me Neha.

I'll live on her support!

- Have you gone mad?! - What are you saying, Nandita?

We can't even think of parting with our daughter...

Please, Anand! You have Kavita and everything else in life!

But in Neha, I will find a daughter and you too!

I will find a reason to live!

Believe me, I will love her more than my life!

I will always hold her close to my heart...!

Please give Neha to me...

I promise never to show you my face again!

Why don't you answer her, Anand!

Neha is mine!

I'll never part with her!

Don't say that, Kavita.

You have Anand.

You can have all the happiness in your life!

But I have nothing...

I'm all alone!

I'm very lonely...!

Please.

No, Anand! You can't do this!

Please Kavita, I beg of you!

My love... I'm here for you.

I want Neha too.

- Do you trust me? - I can't live without Neha.

And I can't live with you.

You mean the world to me...

We are, because you are.

No, Anand!

I've lost my child once. I won't lose my child again!

How can you give Neha away?

How will I live without her?

We will live with each other's support.

- Let her take Neha away. - No, Anand!

No, Nandita! Please!

Don't let her take Neha away!

- Go on, Nandita. Take her away. - Please no!

- Kavita! Kavita! - No Anand! You have no right to give Neha away!

Go away! For God's sake!

No! Leave me alone... I can't give my Neha away!

- Stop her, Anand! Please! - Kavita!

- Please. She's taking my Neha away! Stop her. - Kavita, calm down.

Leave me, Anand! Leave me.

- Anand... - Anand!

- Anand, I... - Stop her, Anand. Please.

Please, Anand. Stop her.

- It's okay. - Anand!

Mr. Anand Kishore had called. You can take Neha away.

[CRICKET CHIRPING]

I can't live without Neha...

- Come, Kavita. - I can't stay without her.

[SOBBING]

Please. Take me back to her.

No... how will I live in this house without her?

Come.

Mummy!

Neha.

Do you know, mummy? Today's my real birthday!

- What? - Aunty mummy told me!

Let's go in, Mummy.

See!

- Where is your Aunty mummy, dear? - It was time for her train.

She has left, but she has left word for you in this tape.

Have you seen my birthday cake, Dad?

'Kavita.'

'Anand once complained that I had left without a word'

'So I want to have my say this time, before I leave.'

'I seek forgiveness from you, to begin with.'

'I have hurt you very much.

''Please forgive me'

'It's a welcome co-incidence.

'It's Neha's real birthday...'

'and I'm leaving behind my father's and my estate as a gift for her.'

'Don't let her know anything. Everything belongs to her after all.'

'So she must have it all'

'I understand the anguish of a mother whose child is snatched from her.'

'And no mother can cause this agony to another mother.'

'I must have borne her.'

'But she is your daughter.'

'She asked for you, the moment I met her.'

'Anand had returned my child to me.'

'And I am returning your Neha to you.'

'I was blinded by selfishness. I wanted my daughter back.'

'I forgot, I had decreed the orphanage for her.'

'It's you and Anand who have given her a real life.'

'I must apologise to Anand before I leave, too.'

'Rarely do you find a father, a husband, a human-being like him.'

'The one unexpected moment of love I got from him, is enough for me.'

'I now have yours and Neha's memories linked with them.'

'So I'm not alone anymore.'

'I'm going away forever...'

'but you all will forever remain with me. Bye.'
