Don't dream.

"Let us sleep for some time more."

'Dreams never come true.'

"Τhere's still night left.."

My father would say always.

"Let the morning come."

But l dreamt.

"We've been awake for a long time.."

"Let us sleep for some time more."

"Τhere's still night left.."

"Let the morning come."

Which fool will give a job to a fool like you ?

He had gone to town for an interview.

Ghanshyam Das had taken him. He has got the job, father.

Why's this happening behind my back ?

The school results will be out tomorrow, right ?

Have you checked the results in town ?

Have you failed ?

Oh, you are trying to cover the shame with a job.

l've got a job in Turkey. Now how does a pass or fail matter ?

l'll beat you. The whole village will laugh that..

..the math teacher's son has failed. You'll never prosper.

Don't curse. He's going abroad.

Oh Mother Bhavani. - Go to hell.

l can't bear that my son has failed. Go.

Come on, leave. Come on, move.

Hey congratulations. We've done it.

My stepson is going abroad.

You run away too and come here.

Yes, but you'll be scared when you see these huge buildings.

Hail divine Mother ! l've won !

My eyes. Out of the three glasses, one was smaller.

l just kept my eyes on that.

The spice business is conducted here. Very big traders come here.

lt's a business that requires brains.

The sharper you are, the luckier you are.

From tomorrow, there will be a new trader amongst them..

Gurukanth Desai.

"You are the blue ocean.."

"l am the sand shore."

"Take me into your arms.."

"l've been yearning from a long time."

"The shade of night and the glimpse of moon.."

"lf you want take a glimpse at the moon."

"The shade of night and the glimpse of moon.."

"lf you want take a glimpse at the moon."

"ln the boat of the moon, come we have to go ashore.."

"You row slowly, the sea shouldn't spill over.."

"O dear, collect all the pink stars."

"O dear, collect all the stars that are yearning."

"O dear, collect all the pink stars."

"O dear, collect all the stars that are yearning."

"Smoke all around."

"The smoke always says."

"O dear, O dear."

How long have you worked here ? - How long you've worked here ?

Seven years. - Seven, sir.

Do you know how to wear a tie ?

Where's your tie ? Take it out.

This ? - Wear it.

l've heard complaints about you.

But l'm very impressed with your work.

There have been some complaints against you..

..but he's very impressed with your work.

l'm promoting you to the post of sales supervisor.

You can start work tomorrow. Congratulations. - Say thank you.

Gurukanth, aren't you happy ? He has made you a sales supervisor.

Look, Robert sir has signed it himself. See.

lt took me thirteen years to become a sales supervisor..

..just keep that tie on.

l don't want to wear a tie. Nor do l want this promotion.

Why ?

l want to return to my village.

When did this foolish idea occur to you, may l ask ?

After wearing this tie.

Why ?

You like my work, so does he, then why should..

..l work for that white man ? l'll work for myself.

You'll work for yourself ?

Take it in writing. You can never do anything for yourself. Write it.

Chagan sir, my destiny is already written.

Let me take your leave.

l'll miss you.

You're taking all the fun with you.

Now we'll just slog here.

"No dear, no dear.."

"Clouds, please rain."

"The first shower of rain is very sweet."

"Come on, go ahead."

"No dear.."

"Rain."

"Clouds, please rain."

"Wet mud."

"Come on, let's make..

..a house from the wet mud."

"Let's put swings on the green branches of the mango tree."

"The clouds are thundering..

..and everyone has taken the ploughs."

"The cattle with the bells ringing all the way."

"l swam across."

"l went to the shore."

"No dear.."

Father, l'm leaving. You don't like what l wish for.

The country's become free so why not your daughter ?

l've found my partner.. bless me so that l live happily.

Your loving daughter, Sujata.

"ln dark nights..

..it will rain heavily."

"The cloud will stop me in every alley..

..will return after a thunder."

"My home..

..and the fountain of water."

"Don't forget or everyone will question."

"l floated..

..and sang along."

"No dear.."

A bearded man has sent this letter for you.

l don't have the courage to run away and lead a life.

Please forgive me, Sujata.

Yours, Bhanu Patel.

Hey, come on. Hurry up.

Hey !

He is spread like a python on the whole berth.

l have a reservation.

Reservation is only for the night.

Look out. lts still night.

l can sleep comfortably till tomorrow morning.

lt's morning. ln many places in the world, its morning, do you know ?

Can't think beyond the village.

Throw it when the train stops. lt won't fly back.

Oh God, l can't even cry in peace.

Good, you woke me. My station's come.

lf you cry early in the morning..

..you'll have to cry the whole day.

Sujata ! Sujata !

Girl, alone ? - Yes. Boarded at the last station ? - Yes.

This bogey, seat number thirty two. She drenched the whole seat crying.

Come on. - Thanks brother.

Sujata. You are here ?

Does one leave like this without telling anyone ?

l searched you everywhere.

Come on.

Hey, step son, where were you all these years.

l was saving myself from your beatings, you lousy woman.

My brother has become an Englishman.

Come, Guru.

Sit. Sit.

Uncle, if he gives reason to complain again, take care. Come.

Come Ramlal, look who has come.

Guru ? l didn't recognize you.

How would you ? - You can't see after your marriage.

Has your wife come ? - Yes. - Guru, give him some money.

Give him twenty you fool. Miser. Come.

Take it. - Guru !

Look how big the school has grown.

Greetings sir.

Even on looking at the cane, the hand begins to burn.

Must have received 1 0 or 20 lakhs canings.

And look at the progress you've made !

lf l'd known earlier, l would have hit..

..you till you became the Prime Minister.

Father. - For me ?

Wonderful, dear !

How many days have you taken off ?

As many as l want. - What do you mean ?

Meaning, l don't have to do job.

But, your brother said that they've..

..promoted you and tripled your salary.

Yes. - But l've worked enough for the white man..

l want to set up my business.

My own business.

What do you know about business ? When l did business..

..l could hardly put food on the table.

Everyone cannot do business. - Father.

Just because you failed, doesn't mean l won't pass.

Keep it. lt'll help you keep track of the..

..bad times that will come in your life.

Ramlal, return his money. - What ? - Return his money.

lf you setup your home, with his money your..

..wife will run away. You'll be ruined.

Go.. do business. Business.

No.. no, - Go.

Guru what are you doing ?

The Principal will scream, don't do that. No Guru..

Hey children, go inside your classes.

Do you remember how we would run up on this hill ?

Remember, carrying huge tins, fried snacks in one..

..snacks in the other !

ldiot, you've been selling something or the other since childhood.

Move aside.

Three paisa profit for one fried snack..

..and the fried snacks weren't even hot.

After climbing all these stairs we should..

..at least make half a paisa profit..

Take fried snacks.

Snacks !

Father will never agree.. he is a money lender..

God of misers !

l have fifteen thousand. l need another fifteen.. that's all.

He won't invest. He's saved it for my sister's wedding.

Dowry ? - Yes.

How much ?

Twenty five thousand.

l'll marry her.

What ?

Marry her to me.

She is my elder sister. She is elder to me by a year..

..so she's elder to you by a year too.

So what if she's a year older ? One, two years is no big deal.

Don't talk without thinking.

Look, all l know is that..

..l'm ready to marry her.

Then we'll be business partners.

Fifty-fifty.

You will receive a dowry and make me an equal partner ?

You'll also be part of the dowry.

How do l tell father ? What will l say ?

l won't be able to tell him.

Why are you scared ? l'm marrying, not stealing. l'll talk to him.

Have you come to talk about marriage ? Are you a broker ?

Go back. We are not interested ?

The last time l saw you.. you were crying yourself hoarse.

l don't even know you. Why would l cry in front of you ?

You were crying in front of the whole world in the train..

..reading some Bhanu Patel's letter. - Who are you ?

Guru, who knows everything.

Didn't you sit on my legs ? My leg broke, it still hurts.

Then go to a doctor. What have you come here for ?

l am not here to take anything. l've come to talk. About marriage.

Hold this.

Listen. Don't drag me into this.

Hey Tulsibhen. - Oh God. - Where is uncle ?

Uncle.

Do you recognize me ? Do you recognize me ?

No.

You shut down my father's ghee shop..

..you even took away all the buffaloes.

Master Kanthilal's son ? - Yes. - You're the boy who hit me on..

..my ear with a stick and ran away, aren't you ?

l was eight years old. Shall l sit ?

You've come to make me deaf from my other ear ?

Kanthilal. - He has no business sense.

Now thanks to me, he is the headmaster.

What are you ? You are in Turkey, right ?

No, l'm here. l want to do business here with your son Jignesh.

What business ?

Many new things are available there abroad.

l'll bring them and sell them here. l'll make good profit.

And, what does your father say ?

He says l'll be ruined.

Then you will definitely make a profit. Don't worry.

But l've stopped lending money these days.

l've to get my daughter married.

l'll marry your daughter and.. take good care of her.

l'll become a famous man in five years.

My daughter is crazy.

Haven't you heard what those idiot villagers are saying ?

Jobless people keep wagging their tongues.

There is no limit to their talks.

There was a sickly looking, bearded boy like buffalo.

Used to just roam around with a red flag and four laborers.

She wanted to marry him.

Have you heard this at least or are you deaf too like me ?

l was on the same train in which she was fleeing.

l've seen a bit of the world.

l know right and wrong.

Just give me your blessing and l'll take care of the girl.

What ? - Just give me your blessing and l'll take care of the girl.

l'll take your leave.

Mother.

"Live your life in love."

What is this ? Why are you leaving with..

..your brother-in-law after marriage ?

You are crazy. Where is your wife ?

Don't scream. She's not coming.

Why not ? - Let it be.

What catastrophe is keeping her here ?

Don't know. Perhaps she doesn't like it. Maybe she doesn't like me.

How can she not like you ? The lousy woman is mad.

Not all women are sweet like my stepmother..

Come on, bless me.

Bless me. - Live long.

l shall take your leave.

Hey lizard ! Elder brother.

Take care.

l know.. this isn't your wish. But still, your blessings..

May God give you sense..

What else can l say ?

lt's time for your train to leave.

Don't.. don't go.

What ?

What if l die here all alone ?

But, you said you didn't want to come with me.

You could have asked me again.

Look, you're not asking me even now.

But you don't even have any luggage ?

Can't you buy me four saris ?

Guru, come.

And ticket ?

Do l need a ticket to sit on your lap ?

Come. Come running.

Bye. l'll write a letter. - Come.. come.

"Love is wonderful.."

"The ground has disappeared from below the feet.."

"Love is wonderful.."

"The ground has disappeared from below the feet.."

Where is the yarn market ? - That way.

Where does all the buying and selling happen ? - Upstairs sir.

Why do they shout so much ? How will we do business here ?

Jignesh. lf you don't shout. You'll be left behind.

And when we shout, everyone else will shut up.

1 550 ! 1 550.

Sir, Mathura Das ?

1 350 given. Given. - Listen.

Are you Mathura Das ? - Could be. Why ?

l want to do yarn business. l've come from ldhar village.

l want to do yarn business with my own money.

But wherever l go people say that there's a union.

Yes there is.

Without its permission you can't do business over here.

You must become a member.

1 550. 1 550.

Your bid's too high. lf you go to Salem market..

..you'll get it much cheaper.

Quiet. Don't teach me business. lf you want to trade become a member.

So make me a member.

There's a five year waiting period.

lt won't happen. Go on. Don't waste my time.

But you're not letting me do business..

..nor are you making me a member.

lt's not in my hands. Don't irritate me.

Arzaan Contractor is the president of the association.

Azraan.. who ? - Arzaan Contractor.

You can become a member only with his letter.

You won't become a member.

Are you a fortune teller ?

l am doing business here since 20 years.

And you will give me the letter ? - Of course.

Try it.

Look at my good shot, sir.

What's your name ? - Gurukanth Desai.

You'll give me the letter ?

Ok. l'll see.

l'll take care.

ln my village, help is never forgotten.

lt'll happen. lf you don't mind. Yes ?

Thank you, sir. You'll see, business will benefit with me.

Two paisa is too much for that. Here.

For me ? - Yes.

What have you bought for me ? - Come.

Have you bought this for me ?

Yes, don't you like it ?

l thought you'll get me lots of saris..

..jewelry, diamonds, 8-1 0 big cars.

l have brought it all.

You can see it now.

Could you see it ?

No, but the whole world will see us.

l can see it.. a big house.. a palace.

l can seethe lintel.. burnt on the gas. No food tonight.

l see a factory.. very big. Even bigger than Burma Shell.

l see clothes in the wash.. wet..

..you'll have to go in your underwear tomorrow.

l can see you, fat, with a Rs.900,000 necklace, fat bangles..

..walking with a swagger.. all of five hundred pounds.

Ok slim one ! Wearing Rs.900,000 necklace..

..fat bangles.. walking with a swagger.

Very happy.

Very, very, very, happy.

With you.

Guru. - The brother-in-law is here.

lt's over. lt's all over.

What ? - Our business is over. - What ?

But what happened ?

That Contractor's rejected our application.

Can't be. He gave me his word.

Am l lying to you ? l'm coming from his office.

He tore up our application after reading it.

So do we go back to the village now ?

lf we don't, we'll be out on the streets.

l say, let's pack our bags and go to the village.

What is there for dinner sister ?

Who are you ?

l live here.

l don't live here, okay ?

Then why are you staring at my building ?

Why ? Do l need a letter even to look now ?

The building is on the road, the road is the Government's..

..these eyes are mine.. the country is free.

l can stare at whoever, whenever l want.

Don't bug me early in the morning.

Go watch your dog piss.

Very good.. anger early in the morning is very good. Let's walk.

What's your name ?

Manik Das Gupta.. - You've turned your city into a club.

This one can't come here. That one can't come here.

You just wear a suit and talk in English.

They've turned Bombay into a dog. Dog !

Good. Being angry with Bombay is very good.

Not on Bombay. l am angry with one man.. l want to slap him.

The president of our traders association..

Arzaan Contractor. He promised me four months ago..

..that he'll give me a letter of membership.

Then he tore up my application and threw it away.

He doesn't wake up before ten o'clock, how will you slap him ?

Do you know him ?

Since he was this little.

Can you do something for me ?

l don't believe in giving or taking recommendations.

But you look like a big social communist leader.

You should help the poor. Against this rich Contractor.

And if l say no ?

That's a problem. l can't hear the word 'no.'

l like it. l like it very much.

Come to my office.

Will you get the letter for me ?

l'll make sure your voice is heard.

How ? - l own a newspaper Swatantra Samachar.

lf you're speaking the truth then..

l will fight your war.

But if you've lied, l'll slap you.

l've just arrived in Bombay; l haven't learnt to lie yet.

Good, come tomorrow.

Trading big shot Arzaan Contractor..

..the country is free but..

..when will the trade markets be free from..

..their president, Arzaan Contractor ?

Mr. Contractor considers himself the undisputed lord of the union..

..and Mr. Gurukanth Desai as his enemy.

Now nobody can stop Guru from becoming a businessman.

A very big businessman.

Bigger than anybody.. am l talking too big ?

A bit.

Mathura Das.

Here l am, right beside you.

You have come. But you won't last.

There are a dime a dozen like you..

Those whom you have seen, only you know about them.

l only know that there's just one person like me here. Only Guru.

Greetings. - Greetings.

Greetings. - Greetings. Move. - Move.

Greetings. - Greetings.

Greetings.

l didn't know you had so many complaints against me.

You should have spoken to me. Not in the papers, like this.

How do we tell you sir ? lt's difficult to meet you.

Today you're in trouble so you've come here..

..or you are found only at the club.

lt seems like this Union doesn't require me.

And l don't like staying where l'm not needed.

That is why l am resigning from presidency. l am resigning.

No. - Let him go, someone else will come along.

Quiet. You needn't go contractor sir.

He has decided, Mr. Das.

Now even God can't make him change his decision, isn't it ?

My decision won't change. But, times will.

Anything could happen tomorrow itself.

And if it does, don't come crying to me.

lf we're going to be that scared, how'll we do business ?

Don't worry.. we are the fearless.

What was your name ?

Not was, it still is.. and will always be. Gurukanth Desai.

Where is that villager, Guru ?

Where ?

Oh uncle. - Okay, okay.

What is it ?

You opened a new office and didn't even call me ?

Meenu, what do we do with him..

..wring his neck or break his teeth ? - Both.

Shall l do it ?

Which tooth shall l break ?

This one. Come on mare.

My name is Meenakshi.

Jalkukdi. - Meenu. - Jalkukdi. - No. - Yes. - No.

She won't accept defeat.

Uncle, it's too small a place for you..

He's lying. He was afraid you would scold him.

That he doesn't have faith in himself and has to depend on God.

He was right.

No. God and l don't get along.

lf you offer it as a sweet l'll eat it.

You'll get both or neither.

She's smarter than you.

Why don't you treat the offering as a sweet and..

..l'll treat the vermilion as just a colour.

You will have your way.

Such a struggle for a tiny sweet ! - Hail divine Mother.

Who is this villager ?

My brother-in-law and partner.

What will you do ?

Cotton. - Suit business.

Very good.. a fight on the very first day.

My brother is sleeping outside.

l am not asking you to wake him.

What will you do now ?

What do you think ?

You beast. What work will you do to earn a living ?

You brought us here like a big leader..

..how are you going to clothe and feed us ?

Polyester.

What's that ?

Clothe.. Shiny..

..naughty just like you.

You beast.. l made a big mistake marrying you.

l can't understand whether you..

..love your yarn more or me.

Should l tell you ?

Das was saying polyester business is dangerous. - Let him.

Are you brainless ? The whole world is into cotton and you..

When you see the profit..

..you'll say wow Guru, how intelligent you are !

How much did you invest ?

All the money.

Oh God, you'll kill us.

You've shut it down. We will be ruined.

You'll know when we are really dead.

Why did you shut it down ? -This won't do.

What's the matter ? - This won't do.

What happened ? - They've shut down the market. - Why ?

They say it's gambling.

Gambling ? - Yes.

But the fun of business is predicting which price will rise..

..and fall, where the losses and profits are..

..that shows the acumen of the businessman.

You think that. The Government calls that gambling.

Gambling.

Then tell the Government to stop lotteries. That is gambling.

The race at Mahalakshmi, astrology. All that's gambling too.

You came and destroyed our business.

Not me.

Your friend Contractor has done it. And that too with bribes.

No problem.

We'll start our market here.

Yes. - Wait ! Wait !

Guru, what are you doing ? You'll go to jail and..

..send everybody else in as well.

See this. - What is this ?

A Government notice from an l.A.S. officer..

Do you know the meaning of this ? lt's the law now. Law !

Mr. Das, if a law can be made in a day..

..then it can also be changed in a day too.

Nothing will be changed. K.R. Menon..

..the l.A.S. officer is very strict. He doesn't listen to anybody.

Everything is ruined.

Who are you ? Who are you ? - Come in. come in.

Come. Keep the goods there. Come.. this way.

Who is that ? Come.

Greetings sir. - Hey wait !

Are you Mr. K.R. Menon sir ?

Who are you ? -That cloth trading..

..it stopped because of your men right ?

What is this ? - That notice has your signature, right. Come.

Come. Come.

Unni, ask him to stop. - Come in.

Come.. come.. come..

There. - Stop it.

All the goods are yours.

What nonsense ? Who are you ?

My father-in-law is a businessman, moneylender.

ln my village, if people who borrow money from him..

..don't pay back, he mortgages everything.

lf clarified butter shop is..

..shut down then people give him buffaloes.

l had a polyester shop that you shut down.

Now all this is yours.

lt's top quality polyester, sir. Make clothes for the children.

Wear suits. You'll look good. Greetings.

Come on everybody. Come on.

Gurukanth Desai.

Just see who it is. - Gurukanth Desai !

Menon sir, you ? Greetings.

l've been looking for you for four days.

You should have at least given your name, address.

Jignesh. Yes ? - Come. Mr. Menon, A very big l.A.S. officer.

Look, my record is impeccable.

lf the higher authorities find out about the..

..polyester, l will lose my job.

What can l do about that sir ?

Take it all back, neighbours have begun to ask.

Sir, l can understand. But until the..

..market opens l can't take the goods back.

Are you threatening me ?

No sir, but the other traders were..

..also going to come to your house to leave their goods.

What nonsense is this ? What can l do ?

How can l re-open the market ?

l'm an illiterate villager, l don't know much.

But if you locked the market doors..

..then you must have the keys too.

And if l say no ?

What ?

And if l say 'no' ?

l don't understand the word 'no'.

And one more thing, the traders are asking..

..for your residence address everyday. Should l give it ?

Glory to Guru !

You are great. - Wonderful.

Brother Guru, you've done a great job.

Guru has come. He has brought gifts for all.

What ? - He's given one to Mr. Sharma.

What have you brought for me ?

You forgot the lame Jalkukdi ?

Close your eyes.

Don't open them. Don't open them.

Now open them.

A wedding sari ! - Of course.

You'll marry me ?

For seven lifetimes..

Grandpa. - Very nice.

l'll show it to everyone.

Go. - So Brother Guru ?

Why are you calling me brother Guru ?

l'm like your son.

Everyone addresses you with this name.

The name suits you.

Grandpa. Come on, get up. Leave that. Come on, get up.

l know you're not even..

..going to touch this..

..you look like Gandhi in this loin cloth.

But when you travel abroad..

..and it's very cold you can make a coat like Nehru and wear it.

lt'll look very nice.

You are bribing me with Gandhi and Nehru's names.

No. l don't know how to shake hands and..

..say thank you in English. That's why.

lf you don't like it..

..then break both my neck and teeth. Come on, bless me.

This mischief is what l like about you..

..suddenly you speak with honesty and intelligence.

Don't ever let go of this habit.

Grandpa.

Whatever happens, l'll never let go of you.

l promise.

"You have to come." - Want more ? - No, thanks.

Please, l don't want.

Gulp it down in one shot.

Come on, bottoms up ! - No. No.

He won't drink, his wife will scream at him.

All wives scold..

..if you drink a bit, you'll hear less of it.

l apologize for being late.

Cut it, dear.

The work was such. l was doing our trial balance..

..our profits are up by 300%☻ in six months.

And the price of polyester has gone through the roof !

Very good.

But don't relax, because if the Shakti..

..family has worked for 1 8 hours till today..

..we will now work 25 hours per day. - 25 hours !

Ask why ? - Why ?

Because, the Shakti family will not only trade..

..we will manufacture kela silk (Polyester).

We are opening a factory.

Very good.

Foreign machines will produce the..

..English named kela silk.. polyester.

Polyester.

Just because you've bought a car doesn't mean..

..that you dream of opening a factory.

Shut up ! Unless you dream you'll be stuck to ldhai.. drink..

But.. - We've also seen the land. 25 acres right next to your village.

Walk carefully.. don't be in such a hurry..

Who wants to walk ? l want to run..

l'm carrying you in my arms, don't move, you'll fall.

And the money ?

Are you Contractor ? Will the banks give you a loan ?

To hell with Contractor and banks..

..we will go to the public and start a factory. Give ten rupees..

..and become the owner.. public issue.

lf the factory earns, so will everyone.

Permission for the public issue will come in one month.

Fantastic ! Let's have another one on this !

Have it ! Come on, have it ! - Guru.

You didn't ask me even once.

You could've at least taken my opinion.

My dear dowry sweet. You wouldn't have..

..let us sell polyester, or anything else.

You were about to pack up and go back to the village.

We are partners in business..

..it's not just yours.

You just stay behind me.. and watch the world.

Don't poke your nose in between.

lf you stick your nose in, l'll turn you into polyester..

..and sell you to a foreign lady.

Jignesh.

Little prince is upset.. no problem.

l'll pacify him and bring him back..

..but empty the bottle. Understood ?

Yes, we will empty it.

Hey, wait. Where are you going ?

Come back. Everyone's watching.

l can't get along with him.

This is not a silly game that you get upset and leave.

Come back. Should l fall at your feet ? Come.

l'm going to the village.

We'll all go together and put up a huge board. Shakti factory. Come.

l don't want to do anything with him.

People will say that you're jealous of him.

Who will say ? - Even l will..

You've gone mad and blind.

Hey brother Jignesh. Your problem is with me. Fight with me.

Speak properly to your sister. Okay ?

You're senseless. You've forgotten..

..that he's looked after both of us. Learn to understand a person.

He only understands money. Do you know why he married you ?

He was a true friend. He married a girl who was eloping.

He would have married you even if you were handicapped.

You know why ? Tell her..

Why are you talking like a child ?

He married you for dowry.

Tell him not to lie.

Ask him.

Guru bhai.

Father had promised a big dowry, 25 thousand.

That's why he got married. He wanted to start his business.

Tell him not to lie..

Sister, you're just capital for him.

He's lying.

ls this true ?

"Don't go as everyone look like stranger to me.."

"l feel lonely.."

"l don't feel good without you."

"l don't feel good."

"O dear, what is life without you.."

"Without you, the nights are tasteless, O beloved.."

"The nights are dry and there is solitude all around."

"Without you, the nights are tasteless, O beloved.."

"O dear, what is life without you.."

"Don't go away."

"Don't go leaving me alone."

"Don't go..

..as there will be no fun in the rainy season."

"Without you, the nights are tasteless, O beloved.."

"Now l cannot spend it without you.."

"Without you, the nights are tasteless, O beloved.."

"O dear, what is life without you.."

"Without you."

"Without you the moonlit is dim."

"The sunshine looks farce."

"Without you the gold looks copper."

"Life is precious with you."

"Come, as l am having sleepless nights."

"O dear, what is life without you.."

"Without you, the nights are tasteless, O beloved.."

"The nights are dry and there is solitude all around."

"O dear, what is life without you.."

Fight with the whole world, but not with me.

lf you're with me, l can win the whole world.

Then why are you hanging on to me ? Come on..

Where ?

To beat the world !

Hey elder brother, you also touch it.

Hey Mr. Ghanshyam. When did you come ?

l've come on time, haven't l ?

Brother Guru ! Brother Guru ! - Yes.

How was the Europe and America tour ?

lt was a very successful one. There was only one difficulty.

l didn't get to eat food cooked by her. l starved.

You're being called the business king of lndia.

Do you have Shakti shares ? - Yes.

Then you are lndia's business king too.

Guru brother. People are pointing fingers..

..at your growth.

You're growing too fast.

This is a race. And l run to win, not for pleasure.

Look, Meenu.

Whatever you own is mine. Now tell me, will you marry me ?

No. - Hey Jalkukdi. - Gurukanth.

You are so nicely decked up. Just like a bride.

Really ? Actually l knew.

That's why this Parsi uncle's been troubling me since long.

l told him move on, my husband's coming.

So when are you marrying me ?

Leave elder sister. Let's get into my car and run away.

Can you cook like her ?

Hello, Mr. Guru.

l'm talking about love and you're talking about your stomach.

How do you live with him ?

With great difficulty. - Greetings brother Guru. - Where's grandpa ?

America. He'll be back in two weeks.

Brother Guru ! Greetings sister-in-law.

Contractor sir. -Greetings.

Meenu. - Hello.

Brother Guru, someone has been waiting..

..since long to meet you. Come.

Sister. Are you expecting ?

How did you know ? l haven't even told him as yet.

Your face is glowing. And it will be a girl, just like me.

Dad. Gurukanth Desai.

So you're brother Guru.

And you're the senior Mr. Contractor. lt's a pleasure.

The pleasure is entirely mine.

l've a present for you.

That's why l wanted you to come to the wedding.

But l brought a present only for your daughter. Not for you.

A blank cheque. Your mathematics is excellent.

So fill it up. With any number that you like. Fill it up.

Everything has a price, brother Guru.

Where you've reached today, is amazing.

You've made your own way.

lt's wonderful.

But the way ends here.

Don't put it down. lf you keep it down today..

..you might not get another opportunity tomorrow, to pick it up.

Lousy old man.

He wants to buy me.

He says everything has a price.

Will he put a price tag on me too ?

1 50 years. What he made in 1 50 years, l made in 1 0 years.

ls there any match ? No.

What's going on ?

Cashier. Get hold of all our friends..

..from the press. All of them. Right now.

Call them, go to their homes, wake them up, do what you have to.

From tomorrow, every newspaper in the..

..country should carry an expose on Contractor.

Tell them. That Contractor's suits..

..and cars shine but his machines are useless.

Old, rusted, very cheap.

Cashier.

Contractor's name should become a curse. A curse.

"Brother Guru, brother Guru has come.."

"He will cause a stir.."

"Brother Guru, brother Guru has come.."

"He will cause a stir.."

"Brother Guru, brother Guru has come.."

"He will cause a stir.."

"Brother Guru, brother Guru has come.."

"He will cause a stir.."

"Brother Guru, brother Guru has come.."

"He will cause a stir.."

"Brother Guru, brother Guru has come.."

"He will cause a stir.."

"Brother Guru, brother Guru has come.."

This is the Swatantra Samachar.. The lndependent.

This very newspaper has destroyed the British.

lt didn't get scared of anybody.

lt has fought for ideals and principles. But it never got sold.

l was away for a month and you all sold it. You stabbed me in the back.

ln a month you've dressed the newspaper in Guru's safari suits.

Hey. - Yes.

Who gave you this ?

Guru ? - Yes. - Take it off.

l said take it off !

That too.

Now pick up both of them and throw them in the dustbin.

Editor sir. - Yes ? - l hear you've a new car.

Don't you have shame ? Don't you have even a little shame ?

We have to apologize to the country.

Tomorrow morning's edition will have an apology letter.

The page has already been composed. - Then stop it ! Stop it !

You've made false allegations.

You have supported the wrong man. So you have to apologize.

Go. Go ! Send for Shyam Saxena.

Shyam. - Have you gone deaf ? Shyam Saxena.

Send him and tell Guru to come too. - Yes sir.

Grandpa.

These sweets have come especially for you from Junaghar.

What's wrong ? You look troubled. Can l do something ?

You can do anything. lsn't it ? - Yes.

Nothing is difficult for you.

You just keep throwing your money everywhere.

Grandpa, there are all kinds of people in the world.

And everyone has a price. What say brother ? Here. Sweetmeat.

That's why l carry two kinds of slippers with me.

One made of silver and one of gold.

l hit them with whichever of the two they want and move ahead.

And which slipper do you have for me ?

For you, it's Khadi (cotton cloth).

So you will hit me with a slipper too.

Shyam. What do you think of brother Guru ?

What can l say ?

Feel free and say it.

Brother Guru is the biggest hope of the lndian industry.

A champion businessman.

l am not asking you for an advertisement.

Speak honestly.

To speak honestly, he is a disease who should be locked up in jail..

..and the keys thrown away in the drain.

Hey Jalkukdi. Who is this great man who is praising me so much ?

And why do you feel this way ?

His growth rate is 400%.

Unbelievable.

But he is increasing corruption and greed..

..at double the rate that he is growing..

..with his gold and silver slippers.

Have you called me to beat me with a stick Grandpa ?

l've not even started yet.

Shyam.

lf you and l break the law we would be scared.

But he is proud of breaking the law.

And he doesn't just break or bend the law.

He buries it and then builds a beautiful park on it..

..the one with flowers and fountains.

And after some time people forget that this place is stolen.

l think his factory at Veraval.. - Grandpa..

lf you want to tell me something why don't you just tell me straight ?

Shyam, can you strip him before the whole world ?

The whole world wears my clothes.

You'll have to strip everyone.

Can you stop this man or not ?

No.

Neither him, nor this newspaper, nor you, nor your khadi army.

l'll stop him. l'll stop him.

Brother Shyam..

This cloth and weight are a result of a lot of hard work.

You also work hard to fight with me.

lf you want to fight Gurukanth, become Gurukanth.

But there is only one Gurukanth.

"Guru brother, Guru brother has come.."

"He will cause a stir.."

Guru brother, Guru brother has come.."

"He will cause a stir.."

"Guru brother, Guru brother."

You look very beautiful.

lt is so easy to say that. When you give birth to a child, you'll know.

Walk around with a huge tummy like a bedding roll.

Vomit from morning to night. And on top of that, get kicked !

A child is small but it is so..

What do you want ? That my tummy too should become like this ?

l look at least 3-4 months pregnant.

Boy or girl ?

lt's not just one.

Then ? Twins ?

There are 25000 people inside.

What are they saying ?

Guru Brother .

Guru Brother. Mike.

Welcome Shakti family !

Enjoy.

lt is for the first time in lndia that a company's..

..meeting is being held like this.

You know why ? The Shakti family is so big that..

..it can't fit into any small place.

Welcome all of you.

My special apologies to our brothers from Gujarat..

..who've skipped their afternoon siesta.

Do you know, a few years ago Shakti family was in debt.

From the bank, government.

Then l came to you with my arms spread. What did you do ?

You emptied your vaults.

The result ? Today, we are free.

We are doing business with our own money.

Our own investment. Our own profit.

When l first came to Bombay.. it's been many years..

..l had come with just two shirts and a coat.

But today the whole of lndia..

..wears our clothes !

Clap.

But l know you aren't happy. - We're happy, brother Guru.

No. No. You are not happy at all.

Why ?

You'll be happy only when we open four more factories.

So Shakti family, what do you say ? Shall we open four more factories ?

Do you want to become lndia's biggest company ?

l've grown old. Can't hear you. Say it even louder. - Yes !

How many Shakti shares do you have ?

l'm a reporter.

He's a magician.

Write good things about him.

Poverty will disappear if we have ten men like brother Guru.

l will definitely write. Make sure to read..

..next Saturday's Swatantra Samachar.

Fine.

"Come on gamble. 1 , 2, 3, 4.."

Balu. That lighthouse shouldn't come in the frame. - Yes.

This shouldn't look like lndia.

And make sure the print looks old.

They shouldn't look like today's pictures. -Yes sir.

You want to click fake photos and pass them as truth ?

lf it's a lie, then let ..

.. your brother Guru come forward and say it's a lie.

Just move aside.

Tear it. The powder should be seen.

You come this side. And all of you come out.

Balu, ready ? - Ready.

You've made up the entire story.

lt's written by brother Guru. l'm just presenting it. Balu click them.

"Come on gamble, let it go as it goes.."

"Let's see what happens."

They dumped cartons like this ?

Yes. And all empty ones. There was lime powder in some of them.

Sent to fake companies with fake addresses.

Meaning, he sent empty cartons abroad..

..and showed full cartons as export.

And doing this he also got the..

..polyester import license. 700% profit.

You have to hand it to brother Guru.

He found a way to profits even from empty boxes !

But the way was of lies. All fraud and cheating.

But even you're lying.

This is the truth. Shakti's truth.

Naked truth.

These are all lies ! Fake !

They must have shot it somewhere here in Bombay..

..and are passing it off as Arabia. - Yes.

First of all, l'll stop advertising in Grandpa's paper.

Why should they earn from us ?

No.

lncrease them in Swatantra Samachar(newspaper).

lf we were giving them 1 0 advertisements..

..in a month, make it 30.

But brother Guru..

Balance sheets, profits, new companies. Publish all of them.

l wish that when Grandpa wakes up every morning..

..he should know about our progress.

Brother Guru.. - What happened doctor ?

The same thing that happens usually with your company.

Double profit. Congratulations, they are twins !

Cashier sir. Send a telegram to my father.

Tell him Guru is coming. - Yes.

My God Suju ! There really are two of them.

Name.

Disha. - l only thought of one.

Drishti. Even l had thought of one.

A bonus. Buy one-get one free.

lt's a pair !

Buy one, get one free.

ls it so ?

By one, get one free.

"lt is a pair.."

"Not one but two.."

"lt is a pair.."

"Not one but two.."

"Tell me Guru.."

"Tell me what will happen.."

"lf there were two pairs of one.."

"lf there were two pairs of wives.."

"Tell me Guru.."

"Tell me what would have happened.."

"The chains of the feet would also be not one, but two.."

"The handcuffs also would also be not one, but two.."

"Night and day, l would have chanted.."

"Tulsi behan, not one, but two."

"lt is a pair.."

"Not one but two.."

"lt is a pair.."

"Not one but two.."

"Tell me Guru.."

"Tell me what will happen.."

"Brother Babu, greetings. Brother Raju greetings.."

"Sister Kanta, greetings. What is your name.."

"The round moon, if there were two moons.."

"There would be one for the day and one for the night.."

"During load-shedding, the moon would have been lighted up.."

"The people would have said, how did this happen.."

"l got a kick, the cannabis gave me a high, that's how it happened.."

"lf one and one make a pair."

"Then there would be two wives at home."

"Tell me Guru.."

"Pair."

"Dear."

"Pair."

"Not one, not one but two.."

"We will lift the palanquin.."

"Not one, not one but two.."

"Come on a mare."

"You have gone crazy.."

"Your face is broken.."

"Your imitation is fake.."

"Not one, not one but two.."

"You have gone crazy.."

"Your face is broken.."

"Your imitation is fake.."

"Not one.."

"Leave cannabis and break your leg..

..come and sit at home."

"Not one.."

"Little droplets make ocean."

"l am getting high on the cannabis."

"My doll."

"Guru's doll."

"Stay awake at night."

"Tulsi behan, Not one, but two."

Shakti's fake strength.

Brother Guru plays a new game of corruption.

Shakti's new shares are selling at high prices..

..but the shares are being bought by brother Guru's men.

You are bent on crucifying him.

Don't you think the more you write the bigger..

..the hero he will become ? - Really.

Even l've applied for his new shares.

You ?

l've to think of my future. Who else will ? You ?

What happened ?

What happened ? - l don't know sir. - What do you mean you don't know ?

Go check the power room. - Yes sir.

Shankar, come here. - Murpani ! Any news ?

Who could be behind this ? 3 guesses.

Gurukanth.. Gurukanth.. Gurukanth.

The power failure is.. - Only in our press.

What do you mean ? - The power is off only here ? - Yes.

You go yourself and ensure printing resumes in 1 5 minutes. - Yes sir.

l think we won't have power till late at night.

l don't care. You ?

l don't either.

You know what l want to do ?

You want to have tea. With ginger.

l want to sing.

So sing. lt's your grandfather's press.

l want to dance.

Fast, fast then slow then fast, then slow..

l want to live for three days, without pain.

Without multiple sclerosis..

..medicines, wheelchair. Just three days.

"The morning light.."

Why are you looking at me like that ?

"Of the speechless morning, it hums.."

"lt is the noise of the light.."

You were going to come to bless them.

l had to come to you.

Good. lt's good that they are girls.

They'll be like just like you.

Make them brave, independent.

Get them used to living without the father.

Perhaps l have to send your father to jail.

How long are you going to fight ?

Till l win.

Don't you love him at all ?

Don't you think of him as your son ?

l asked him the same question..

..and got the same answer.

Silence.

What is this fight about ? Why are both of you behaving like this ?

Where's your husband ? - Office.

Are you calling him up ? He doesn't know l'm here.

Don't do that grandpa.

Guru Brother.

Manik Das Gupta here.

Don't send your wife to beg.

Tell Motwani to check the proof. - Yes.

Are you all right, sir ? Are you all right ?

Why are you hitting the car ? Hit me ! Why are you running away ?

l know who sent you ! Tell him l'm not scared !

Guru...you ?

Did you send them ? - Whom ? - You send them, didn't you ?

What are you talking about ?

You know what l'm talking about.

They're after your blood.

So ?

Just wanted to scare him. Done with just Rs.1 5000.

l don't know what l would've done..

..if it were anyone else who had done this.

He is like a father to me..

..and one never hits their father.

Meaning if someone hurls a stone at us..

..we don't do anything. We remain quiet ?

Don't stay quiet.

Move ahead. lf they write, let them write..

..if they publish, let them, if they hurl stones, let them.

lf they talk about yesterday, let them. We will talk about tomorrow.

We've come this far together with our hard work.

Four sheets of paper can't bring Shakti Corporation down.

Listen, tighten your belt. Because until..

..we build a bigger petro-chemical company..

..than Burma Shell, we won't rest. Understood ?

Why doesn't it rain the whole year ?

Why isn't there cold in Bombay ? Why doesn't it snow ?

Will you marry me ?

lt would be such fun if the whole sea gets filled with snow.

Didn't you hear or you don't want to marry me ?

l want you to drown in the sea and die.

Then how will l marry ?

Do you know what this is ? - Multiple Sclerosis.

And do you know what that is ?

A disease of the central nervous system that has no cure.

lt is one thing to read about it and another to live with it.

l wake up in the morning. Apart from waking..

..up in the morning, l can't do anything.

l've had an attack every other month since l was ten.

Nothing remains beautiful, everything seems empty.

lf Hamsa is careless, then the bed gets wet..

Can you sleep on a rubber sheet ?

"The sweet smell of the night.."

When do we marry ?

"l love silences.." - You're making fun of me, aren't you ?

Your grandpa had said the same thing.

l tried explaining but he wouldn't understand.

l'll go very far away in four hundred..

..and nineteen days.. - And then ?

"Brightness.."

Then l want every single one of those..

..four hundred and nineteen days.

"Of the speechless morning, it hums.."

Marry me.

"l love the light.."

No.

Please marry me, Meenu. - No.

Meenu. - No.

"The thrilling moments.."

"The clouds of love.."

"The clouds playing with snow.."

After six months ! The new minister's given us ten minutes ! Ten minutes.

lf his uncle was there, l would've got a meeting like this.

Ten minutes is enough for you, brother Guru.

No Cashier. You can only say no in ten minutes.

l've had it with hearing a no.

Don't feel bad, brother Guru.

Just do some magic on this minister.

Or we'll all be in trouble.

How ?

Brother Guru. Careful. He's an honest man.

Greetings sir. - You're in the papers everyday.

Your uncle was a very good friend of mine.

lt isn't necessary that his friends are mine too.

A lot is being written against you.

There's a saying in my village.

When people speak against you..

..then you must be progressing.

l'm interested in the Progress of the nation.

Not yours.

You are running such a big ministry at such a young age..

Look, l know people like you very well and want to stay away from you.

l saw your petrochemical project files. lt's full of irregularities.

No. l haven't come to talk about the factory..

l've come for your advice.

Actually l've this burden on me. A very big burden.

Your uncle left something with me.

As a deposit. l'm an ordinary man sir, l don't know much.

You just tell me what to do with it.

Should l return it to you..

..or have it sent overseas, what do l do ? lt's very heavy sir.

Anyone would collapse under it.. me, you.. anybody..

What happened ? What happened ?

Can this helicopter land anywhere ? - Yes.

Captain ! Land at a good sweet shop.

The minister himself will come for..

..the inaugural function. - Wow ! Brother Guru.

Sandeep Mukherjee, Hindustan Times.

Oh Mr. Mukherjee, come, come.

l was waiting for you. l am very pleased.

When you called up, l was surprised.

l was surprised to hear that a newspaper..

..wanted to write something nice about us.

lt's quite a big factory.

Big ? lt took seventeen months and five days to build.

So fast ? - Our brother Guru does everything in a flash.

How long have you known brother Guru ?

From Turkey. Yes.

We delivered petrol cans.

And today, l'm the director of this entire factory.

Where are these machines from ?

From DuPoint.

Do you know where DuPoint is ?

ln U.S.A.

No, it's in America. - Click it. - Yes.

What's your output ?

55,000 tonnes.

55,000 tonnes ! Sure ?

Sure ? - l'm a director of the company.

But Ghanshyam sir, l had heard that you've government permission..

..to produce only 23,000 tonnes.

Take this. - lt is not written anywhere that..

..we can't produce more than that right ?

Understand. Government language is such.

Click it. - But you have shown machinery..

..with the capacity of only 23,000 tonnes.

So how come the output is double ?

We are hard working people.

We used the spare parts lying around.

Come on, click. - Which means you have permission for six spinning..

..lines but have set up twelve spinning lines.

One minute. Who are you ?

Great Ghanshyam sir ! You smuggled in six..

..spinning lines as spare parts and brought them to the country..

..without paying import duty. And you set up the whole factory.

You are masters of conning.

l asked you who are you ?

l am a reporter, but you are a smuggler.

Dog ! You breed of a dog !

Easy. lf this photo's printed..

..just think who will become the street dog..

Get out ! Get out ! l said get out !

ln the place of one factory, you are running two.

Without permission, without import duty..

..and without sanction.

You are cheating the excise and export departments.

And you are boasting of running a big company ?

Tell me, what should l write ?

Get out of here !

Get out of here before l lose control !

Thank you Ghanshyam Das sir. - Get out or..

Don't miss the papers tomorrow.

With photo !

One man is working here..

..and all you are attacking him.

One day uncle said that nobody..

..could swim to the other side. Then, what did he say ?

Take a bet ! - Take a bet !

And what was the bet ? - Jhumpa's dance !

And papa jumped in the water. And how was the water ? - Cold.

Very cold.

So papa kept swimming.. and what did he see ?

A very big fish. - A very big fish.

Which fish was it ? - Shark.

Listen. Phone call for you.

We're escaping from the shark.. one minute..

lt's Rinku, Das' daughter, from village.

Yes, Rinku dear.. tell me.

Brother Guru. Slit his wrists with a vegetable knife.

He was in the back room.

No one knew for half an hour..

Enough..

Go out. You all sit outside.

l've come to slap you.

Slap you so hard that this pain..

..will feel like nothing. Wants to die !

Do one thing. Kill me. Here, slit my wrists too.

Because after you, it'll be my turn.

We've been together since Turkey.

Would you go leaving me alone.. just like that ?

lf anything happens to you because of my mistake..

..l can't bear it Guru.

Look. Look.. look at me. l'm happy now.

When that headmaster went..

l didn't shed a tear..

..step mother died, l didn't cry..

..it's just that you're so ugly..

..looking at such an ugly face.. that it's making me cry..

Guru. Hey Guru.

Even Jhumpa never cried looking at my face..

What ?

Jhumpa, that belly dancer at Turkey.

Even Jhumpa never cried looking at my face.

Das.

Don't do this.

We have many battles to fight..

l can't do it without you Ghanshyam brother..

Shyam Saxena ! - Come in. The door is open.

You come out. l want to talk to you.

l can't. l'm in the kitchen.

Come straight, this side.

What kind of a man are you ?

Do you even know what you're doing ?

Seasoning.. will you eat ? l cook well.

You're insane. Why are you doing this ?

For fame, money ? To threaten ? What for ?

Do you know five foreign companies have invested in Shakti Corporation ?

Yes, so ? - All five are bogus companies.

All are fake ones.

Can you prove it ?

Truth is truth even without proof.

Can you prove it or not ?

Good, l can. l can also prove..

..you've joined hands with ministers to convert..

..non-convertible debentures into shares.

Shakti Corp's reach is in every..

..department of the government. Right from..

..the peon to minister, everyone is part of your family.

You know the rules of the government even before the public knows.

Using that information, you play with public money.

Do you have conscious or you've mortgaged it ?

What is this ?

Can't you understand on seeing that ?

You got married ?

Should l have asked you for that also ?

Where is she ? Meenu !

Meenu ! - Brother Guru !

Coming.

Meenu !

How come you're here ?

What to do ?

You just weren't leaving sister and come to me.

l was forced to get married.

You didn't invite me.

No one had come. Not even grandpa.

He kept his favorites reporter and kicked me out.

He said that l'd become a little too independent.

There are 60 crore people in lndia.

Didn't you get any other fool to get married to ?

But he's a good guy. Have you come to fight with him ?

Yes. l thought l would say a few things to him.

But on seeing you, my mouth got shut. - Come.

Hey Shyam. Make sure you love my Jalkukdi more than you hate me.

Do you need proof for that as well ?

What happened ? You look very weak.

You've become very fat.

Weak. - Fat. - Weak. - Fat.

Nothing is going to Change between us.

When you hear my voice..

..be certain that you're doing something wrong.

The louder your voice, the more l'll grow.

l'll leave. Jalkukdi.

Give us our money back.

Yes, come on.

Give us our money back.

Gurukanth Desai salutes the Shakti family !

What salute ? Answer us !

We don't want a salute. Answer us !

You're angry. Good.

l'm very angry too.

You've asked me a lot of questions.

Now shall l ask you a few questions ?

lf someone flings muck at our family..

..throws stones, what do we do ? Tell me.

Do we start fighting amongst ourselves ?

Can a family survive like that ?

You ask me why the papers are writing..

..articles against us. l'll tell you.

Not the newspaper..

Because we are commoners, middle class.

And those who are already rich don't like this.

We want to write our own destiny.

They hate all this.

That is all right.

But do you have a reply to this ?

Answer !

What has happened to our money ?

What's happened ? Answer !

Next year, our turnover will be hundred crores.

You have stolen and made us thieves too.

Who was that ? - You're a smuggler !

Who was that ?

You steal ! Give us back our money !

We will make bigger profits; l will not give your money.

You are a thief ! You wear fancy suits and drive away in a Mercedes.

We'll be out on the streets !

We want justice !

Down with brother Guru ! - Down with brother Guru !

Down with brother Guru !

Give our money back.

Down with brother Guru !

We didn't have money to white-wash the house.

You said the house looks best the way it is.

lt looks like a home.

Were you telling the truth or were you trying to pacify me ?

Wallet.

You would forget your wallet.

What happened ?

l forgot my wallet.

l would climb two steps..

..at a time to come to you.

And you would stand right here.

l won't give it.

Your brother is waiting downstairs. He will kill me.

You can't die for me ?

lf l die, who will you fight with ?

Praise me. - What ?

Say something nice.

You shine brighter than polyester.

Don't talk like a laundryman. Always talking about polyester.

You're the most beautiful girl in the locality.

So you look at others ?

l don't. Now give it.

Forget it tomorrow as well.

As long as you're with me, how can l remember anything ?

Beast !

How do l look to you ?

Your face resembles my husband's.

Do l look like a thief or smuggler ?

Neither are you a thief nor a weakling.

"Why do you trouble me ?"

"You tell what you do."

"The king of liars. Tell me."

What if my brother comes ?

Guru. - "Dusk in your eyes."

Always arrives at the wrong time.

"Sometimes dawn in my eyes."

Guru, Guru, Guru.

"Tells a story."

Sister. Where's everybody ?

"Open your eyes."

Poor guy.

Poor thing.

Beast !

"You are unique."

Chilly queen !

Me ? - Who else ?

Ready to fight.

Lies. You used to beat poor old me.

When did l hit you ?

Here, like this.

Again.

You will lose.

What's happened to you ?

Forgotten how to play ?

What happened, Guru ?

Guru.. Guru.. Guru.

Guru.

l am going down to get an ambulance.

Are you listening ? Just keep breathing.

Ok ? Don't be scared ?

l'll be right back.

Brother Guru has had a paralytic stroke.

There was a telex from the P.T. l.

You know what that means ? He can't move the right side at all.

He can neither move his hands, nor legs. Can't do any work.

He's younger to me by at least 20-25 years. At least 20 years.

An attack at this age ? How ?

Maybe because of us.

What ?

You, me, Swatantra, everybody is after him.

ln fact another article is coming out tomorrow.

Shall l stop it ?

ls what you are printing the truth ? - 1 00 percent.

Then print it. Why fear printing the truth ?

Which hospital is he in ? - Bombay Hospital. - Bombay Hospital.

Are you going to see him ?

No. Why should l ?

l won't go there. Why should l ?

l won't go.

Grandpa.

Checking to see if he's alive ?

He is.

ln two more months, l'll make him fit enough to fight you.

"l have been awake for long.."

"Let me sleep for some time.."

"There is still some night left.."

"Let morning come.."

"The incomplete dreams that.."

"Couldn't be fulfilled.."

"Once during this sleep.."

"Let those dreams be sowed.."

CT scan.

What is that ? - lt is a..

We want to meet Mr. Gurukanth Desai.

You ?

Ashok Agarwal, Justice Department. We have summons for him.

For what ?

On the 1 6th of October, there is Thapar Commission's final hearing..

But he's asleep.

lt is a notice for that. l have to give it to him.

Look. Yes.. but visiting hours are over.. please come later.

We have permission from the High Court.

You will have to appear before the Thapar Commission..

.. at ten thirty on the 1 6th of October, 1 980.

For the enquiry on any condition. You have to sign here.

He's asking if you would like some tea.

Here. - Only on the copy.

Take this. - Thank you.

Brother Guru will see you on the 1 6th.

Please come fully prepared.

Mr. Desai. We are here to assess if the charges..

..against you and your company are true.

And if.. - Just a minute please. - l haven't finished.

And if the charges are found true.

Then this Commission will recommend suitable..

..punitive action to the government.

Yes, you may speak.

Sir, brother Guru has a request.

Could you please repeat everything that you just said..

..in Hindi ?

We're villagers.. our English is weak.

Both my language and l are right.

Which one would you like to test, Shri Desai ?

What test ? You can take our lives..

But whatever you do..

..just do it in Hindi.

Will you be answering.. or will he ?

The answers are his, only the voice is mine.

ls your wife a Shakti employee ?

An officer ? Or a director ?

lf you aren't, what are you doing here ? Please leave.

Sir l am the owner of Shakti. lnitial promoter..

..and 50 percent shareholder in the holding company.

Sir here are the Memorandum and Articles of Association..

..of the holding company and the annual returns.

Do you know the meaning of this ?

You'll also have to go to jail with him.

We are 50 percent partners, sir.

Wherever we go, we'll go together.

"This is a critical matter..

..for the people crazy in love."

"This is a critical matter..

..for the people crazy in love."

"The clouds playing..

..with the snow."

Minister of lndustry '68-'72. Ministry of Finance..

..'73-'78, Under-Secretary Development..

..Chief Secretary Finance..

Your company has given all of them land..

..gifts and money. Why ?

lt has now been proved sir. He raises his own share prices.

He has a nexus with the brokers.

We have our own broking company.

He has attempted a hostile takeover of two companies.

The show cause notice must be given to him, sir.

lmport duty evasion, 12 crore.. for four factories.

Excise duty evasion from '74 to '77.

Total evasion of penalty, Rs.14 crore..

..27 lakhs, four thousand.

He converts non convertible debentures.

He then turns these debentures into shares..

..and clears all his debts.

These conversions should be disallowed.

The matter is subjudice. Disallowed ! Disallowed !

Mr. Desai, many allegations have come up against you today.

Do you have a response ?

This hearing is in camera only today. You get it ? ln private.

Tomorrow, the press and the public will be here.

You'd better accept all the charges today itself.

You are being given an opportunity.

lf there is anything you would like to say..

..in your defense you may do so now.

l have only one thing to say.

Greetings.

"l love the night.."

"l love the..

..silence of the night."

"l love the night."

"The brightness in the morning..

..and the silent night."

"l love the brightness."

Down with brother Guru !

Hey, let go of me !

l drive a taxi from Wadala to Churchgate.

l've Shakti shares. l've got my three daughters married with that.

That's all l wanted to say.

l wanted to thank you.

Don't worry.. because, l am with you.

Please be silent.

This commission has heard all the arguments against..

..and in defense of Shakti Corporation.

The commission will declare it's report..

..and recommendations after the lunch session.

Brother Guru requests your permission to say something.

He was given an opportunity yesterday..

..but he just said greetings and left.

We were told that your voice is very weak.

l'm a businessman sir. l spend everything very carefully.

l saved my voice for today.

Beware of what you say. The public is present..

..what you say could go against you.

Why fear the public..

..l am the public. May l speak ?

Five minutes.

May l stand, or do l need a license for that too ?

Enough. Enough.

You say l'm against the law.

Forty years ago, another man was against the law.

Today we call him Bapu.

ln his time slavery was the law.. he wrote a new law..

..our freedom.

l'm not Bapu.

All l know is business..

..and to work hard, and poverty.

l came to Bombay with two shirts..

..a wife and a brother-in-law.

l thought l'll do business.

But when l reached here l saw that all doors for business were closed.

lf they opened, it was only for the rich.

They were doors made by the government. Yours.

They either opened with a bribe or a kick.

l did both.

Where l had to kick, l kicked.

Where you wanted me to salute, l saluted.

And today you ask why this man kicks so much..

He salutes too much.

What are you angry about ?

My growth or the speed of my growth ?

Or is everybody angry because..

l've surpassed the boundaries of an ordinary villager ?

You've made allegations against me..

..excise, custom, income tax, this tax.. that tax.

When l started business..

..l didn't even know the meaning of these words.

l fell many times before l learnt.

To save money, l walked 20 kms..

..from Pydhonie carrying huge bales of polyester on my head.

l know the value of money.

lf there was money to be made..

..l made it. But not just for myself.

For my 3 million shareholders as well.

You have about 3 minutes left.

l don't know how to play golf and l don't go to horse races..

..but l'm a solid player in my business.

l know how to make polyester..

..fiber.. chemicals..

of the best quality. At the cheapest price.

ls that my mistake ? Should l apologize for that ?

l roamed around carrying cans as a petrol pump attendant..

..just like our country goes to the World Bank begging.

"Give us money we want to make roads."

Why can't we change our destiny ?

Ours and our country's ?

You want me to remain a petrol bunk attendant..

..and our country to beg, forever.

Why can't we reach the top ?

Why are we called the third world ?

We have as much right to be a first world country..

..and we can be ! We can reach there at the top.

l've lost a lot reaching here..

l lost this hand. Lousy thing hangs uselessly !

And by the time this enquiry ends..

..l don't know what else l will lose..

..my voice, my mind.

But there is one thing you can never snatch from me.

My courage. l won't lose that. Because my courage..

..is the common man's courage..

..this country's courage.

All of you want to stop me, don't you ?

l'm not alone.. the whole country is moving ahead with me.

And neither you nor your laws..

..have the strength to stop the country.

The doors you want to keep closed, are opening up..

..we have stuck our foot through the doors..

..and our feet are very strong.

What enquiry will you conduct on the nation's progress ?

And which enquiry will be able to stop us ? Tell me !

You gave me five minutes.

l've finished talking every thing in four and a half minutes..

30 seconds profit.

That's business.

lf you want to punish me for that as well..

..go ahead.

Gurukanth Desai is not scared of punishment.

What do you think ? ls he a genius or a thug ?

Both.

Whatever it is, we can't hang him, can we ?

Out of the 29 allegations leveled against..

..Shakti Corporation, 2 are proved.

Shakti Corporation is fined Rs. 6.3 millon and 96,000.

The rest of the allegations are scrapped.

Gurukanth Desai salutes the Shakti family.

"Don't dream."

"Dreams never come true."

My father would say.

But l shall dream. We all dreamt.

Dreamt of becoming the..

..biggest company in lndia.

Has our dream come true ?

Yes. - And, do we stop now ?

No.

Or do we dream more, courageously ?

Yes.

Shall we become the world's biggest company ?

Yes..

Shall we tell the world that we are coming ?

Yes..
