If you are lucky, a dog will come into your life

steal your heart and change everything

[Thunder rumbles]

[Dogs bark in panic]

[The Godfather playing on TV]

Can't believe that I made it

Can't believe that I made it this far at all

Didn't mean to, but I had to

Now I've got to, I must keep running on

Overnight, I'm free

In the morning, who knows where I'll be

Oh my, I'm a little scared, but I'm free!

Run, run, run, for your life

Leave it all behind you and fly

Fast as you can, girl, no holding back

Run, run, run, don't be scared

Everything around you is brand new, so take it in

Who knows what you'll find

Who knows what you'll find

[Woman shoo the dog]

It's so bright outside, not like when I was tied up inside

This is amazing!

Run, run, run, for your life

Leave it all behind you and fly

Fast as you can, girl, no holding back

Run, run, run, don't be scared

Everything around you is brand new, so take it in

Who knows what you'll find

Ooooh... I can't believe that I'm free

Can't believe that I made it this far at all

[PEOPLE WHO LITTER HERE ARE DOGS]

Now all I have to do is keep on going

Just keep on going

Overnight, I'm free

[Dogs barking]

In the morning, who knows where I'll be

Oh my! I'm a litte scared, but I'm free!

Hey dog... give it back

Hey.. wait!

Finally I'm free

Now I'm free

Who knows where I'll be

[Chinmaya Colony (R) Satara]

[Ominous music]

[TV plays in the background]

Apparently, before bad luck strikes its show, it gives one a short preview.

My name is Dharma

Everyday I wake up before the alarm rings.

[ Alarm rings ]

Yet, it hits my ear.

And I hit back.

My mother would always say...

[Astrologer on TV] What you dream of at dawn, comes true. Always.

According to me, I'm right. But the way people perceive me is wrong.

[Phone rings]

[ Dharma] Hello

[Telecaller] Good morning, sir. I'm calling from Spencer 4G Company.

We have some new Internet offers in 4G. Can I..

[ Dharma] I already have it all.

[Gate latch creaks]

[One man's trash is another man's treasure]

Damn! Flat tyre again!

What's up Krupakar sir?

Looks like there was trouble at home last evening?

When you have a family, these things are common, Raju.

Isn't that the difference between staying single and staying with a family

Does he have a problem because I have an easy life?

Or does he have a problem because he has a family?

I still haven't understood.

Not because I'm incapable of it.

I just don't have the time.

I don't usually mingle with people

Yet, there are always people behind me

Dharma...

This is Uttam. Uttam, meet Mr. Dharma. You'll be under him for training.

He is our best employee, okay? Dharma, what will you start training him in?

I'll begin with training him in punctuality.

Ah! Get used to Dharma, okay? All the best.

Sir, I had a flat tyre on the way here. Nobody offered me a ride.

One idiot even showed me the finger! My situation...

What? Him? Really?

How will you ever learn under him?

Why? Isn't that possible?

Murali sir said he is the best employee.

Just because he never takes leave and works 365 days, he becomes the best employee?

No wife or kids. Never entertains anybody.

So, if not factory where else would he rather go?

If he had a family, he'd have known the reality. Best employee, my foot!

Looks like they aren't the best of friends, right?

He has no friends here.

Quoting him as an example, Krupakar's promotion has been overdue for the the past 3 years

That's why he's jealous of Dharma.

Like I said

there are people behind me.

Always.

Only to speak ill of me.

[Grandpa] Look Dharma is here.

[Chotu] Don't bother grandpa!

[Grandpa] Hey Chotu, you won't get it!

He's been useless so far. Let him at least do this.

[Clears throat]

Hey Dharma!

Aren't you too from this colony?

Some idiot is distributing TV sets in our colony ground.

How can I teach music with his voice blaring on speaker!

He is holding an orchestra this evening. Come with us.

I have no interest in attending the orchestra

Hey! I'm not asking you to attend the orchestra.

I'm asking you to join us in confronting him. Come let's go and thrash him!

[Door slams]

[Opens beer bottle]

I never send anyone empty handed when they ask for my help.

I always give them an earful.

Am I not leading a happy life without anybody’s help? This suffices me.

[Fire crackers bursting]

[Dog barks]

[An orchestra in progress]

[Popular Hindi song playing]

[People shout in panic]

Get lost you!

Ah!

Please come with us brother

I don't want to, you carry on.

Brother is refusing to wake up, mummy.

Don't you already know he doesn't want to come? You get ready.

Have you taken the musical instruments?

[Dharma's father] I did.

Dharani, please keep this in the car dear.

[Dharma's father] Come soon dear. Looks like it's going to rain.

[Dharma's mother] Coming!

Dharma, there's breakfast for you on the table. Brush and eat it.

Okay mummy.

And don't drink cold water. There's a flask of hot water for you.

Okay!

[Dharma's father] Sharada, how much longer?

Coming!

Don't forget to turn off the TV when there's thunder.

Come.

Brother! We'll have ice-cream on our way. But we won't bring you any.

Bye!

[Wakes up startled]

Why have the kids littered all over?

It's not the kids. It's the handiwork of a stray dog.

Oh god! Look at the mess it's created!

- [Adrika] Hey Rajat! I'm here! - [Adrika's mother] Adi...

[Bike approaches]

[Adrika's mother] Come.

Take

No

[Adrika's mother] Adi, you better eat. Or else Hitler uncle will take you away.

[Charlie Chaplin gibberish song plays]

[Dharma humming]

[Telecaller] Good morning, sir. I'm calling from Spencer 4G Company. We...

[Lady 1] yes, definitely. My son passed his exams only because of my prayers

[Lady 2] The Lord always gives when you ask him earnestly.

What's the big deal about God giving you something after asking for it?

There's no need to go begging to him.

After snatching everything, how will he give it back?

[Grandpa offers prayers]

Granny, when your son calls from America, ask him to send you a phone.

I'm sick of repairing this coin phone

Yeah sure. Doesn't have the time to call his parents

But I bet he will send us a phone!

Don't mind him.

Is it okay now?

Yes

Give me a pack of cigarettes.

Why son? Haven't you seen the picture on the pack?

I asked you for a cigarette. Not advice. Give me two idlis.

Do you intend to shut the shop? Shut up and give him what he wants.

My boy, stop arguing with my wife everyday.

Get married, you can argue with your wife.

Make it quick.

Wait son. I'll give you hot ones.

Dharma sir, are you going to the bhajan tonight?

I want only two idlis.

[Gate creaks]

Good morning, sir

two is enough

Okay.

Home. Factory. Fights. Idli. Cigarette. Beer.

That's what my life is all about.

There's nothing interesting about it.

[Charlie Chaplin episode on TV]

[Thunder rumbles]

Let's go faster. Dharma is alone at home.

Damn these rains!

He'll be watching TV, don't worry.

In half an hour we'll be reaching home

How is the ice-cream sweety?

Nice pappa!

We have 5 ice-creams.

One for you, one for my brother. None for pappa.

And 3 for me, okay?

Promise?

Yes

Say it loud!

Promise...

[Dog whining]

Get lost!

Newspaper!

Out!

Uncle! Ball!

[Kid cries]

[Boy] Come let's go tell mom that Hitler uncle burnt the ball.

[Narayana Rao humming]

Hey Dharma, there's warm breakfast at home. Come eat.

There's no greater tragedy than not finding food when you're hungry.

Didn't I tell you about the tragedy of not finding food?

Now there's a greater tragedy that awaits me.

Why the hell is this dog following me?

If it comes inside the house, I will not spare it!

[Bike crashes]

[Dog squeals in pain]

[Painful moans]

[Lady 1] Oh god! Vicky has hurt himself!

[Lady 2] Come quickly!

[Man] What happened Vicky?

[Charlie Chaplin video plays]

[Murali] Bikes are to be rode on two wheels.

[Vicky] Yes, because it has only two wheels uncle!

Exactly. Ride it on both the wheels.

This is what happens when you do wheeling.

Why are you scolding my son for it? It's all that dog's fault.

[Man] Okay. Should we take him to the hospital?

[Vicky] No uncle

Stray dogs have become a menace!

[Lady 1] This dog has made a mess of this place.

[Lady 2] Yes.

[Lady 1] This was well deserved.

The kids always play here. What if it had bitten them?

Call the civic authorities, they'll take this dog away.

Let's go dear.

Why are you taking it, son? The local authorities will do it.

[Krupakar] Let him take it

[Adrika] Let's please take it to the hospital. Please dad.

[Adrika's mom] Keep quiet!

Come

[Compounder] Give a dose each in the morning, noon and night.

And this syrup twice a day. - [Lady] Okay.

Bathe the dog with this shampoo for a silky smooth hair.

[Dr. Ashwin] Today's generation is blind when they're riding.

My boy, at least you should've been alert.

Always look to your left and right when you cross the road.

[Compounder] Sir, he's here.

This guy?

Tell him I don't want to speak to him. Not one word.

Doctor doesn't want to speak to you. He's angry.

What else? If he can't look after such a nice dog! Is it only to show off?

This dog isn't mine.

What? Lying to me?

I can tell the owner just by looking at the dog.

Do you know how many years of experience I have?

He doesn't know of my expertise.

I'll give it an injection. And my job is done.

[Cajoles the dog]

[Dog yelps]

Look at how scared it is of the needle.

Was it given any injection before?

Don't you get it? It's not mine.

Nothing to worry.

The pictures have turned out great, right?

I have this thing for animals...

What is it called again?

Madness.

Ha, no.

No

Passion.

Just like you. I can't see any animal struggling on the road.

I bring it here and treat it.

By the way, which road did I find you in?

Tablets.

He's irked!

Let's get to business now. Give these tablets thrice a day.

Your dog will be fine in no time

One minute

Didn't I tell you? It isn't mine! Tell me the fees, and I'm off.

What about the dog?

Keep it here with you.

How? I'm unable to handle our own.

If the owner gets to know I got another dog, he'll kick up a fuss.

Sir

Try and understand

I can't look after it.

[Compounder] Why? Are you scared of dogs?

Doctor, looks like he has cynophobia. Your brother-in-law had the same.

[Dr. Ashwin in his native tongue] Who is the doctor? You or me?

[Compounder] You.

[Dr. Ashwin] Then shut up, will you?

Do one thing. Take the dog with you.

I get a lot of calls for adoption. I'll set up one for you.

Just four days.

Dogs are not allowed in our colony. What if someone gets to know?

How will anyone get to know if you hide this pup in your home?

Then why don't you do it? Hide it here.

And don't let the owner find out.

No way. It won't work. He'll definitely get to know.

He is the owner.

[In his native tongue] Did he ask you that?

Can't you shut up?

So what do we do now? Leave the dog back on the streets?

What if it dies under a passing vehicle? Then your doors to heaven will close

Just four days. That's all.

Give me your number now.

The doors to heaven and the dog

you can keep them both.

[Manju] What do you take me for? A joker?

[Krupakar] Please don't shout. I'm due for a promotion.

[Manju & Krupakar's argument continues]

Puppy!

Okay!

[TV commercial of an ice-cream plays]

Hey.. Shush!

Ever since she has come

my peace has been looted

Don’t know since when she has been barking

I have lost my sleep.

This dog’s tail is crooked

She doesn’t pay heed to anything I say

And I'm sure that this will be my fate

I have lost my peace

She has arrived like an uncle from a faraway place

who has reasoned that he shouldn’t stay in a hotel

while his nephew lives in the same city

She keeps me awake all night

Even if I scold, she doesn't care

She keeps me awake all night

Oh brother! Keep counting the days.

Repeat

[Adrika] Hi

What??

Puppy!

What?

The puppy was in the park!

Really?

Yes!

It's still there, right?

Then?

It's here!

Wherever I look, I see her face

Don’t you mistake that I am in love with her

This is happening because I am stuck in a maze

I have been running in circles around her

And now it has made me dizzy

She runs like a speeding train

Don't know how she manages to fly like a rocket.

A tiny bomb has come home

it needs to be stopped from exploding

Someone please chase away this puppy.

Hey!

She keeps me awake all night

Even if I scold, she doesn't care

She keeps me awake all night

Oh brother! Keep counting the days.

Repeat

Go in!

Uncle, ball...

Don't tell anybody that there's a dog here.

[Nods]

[Grandpa] What are you kids doing there?

[Kids] Nothing much. Uncle's dog snatched our ball.

[Grandpa] A dog?!

If there are any wise teachers, please help me understand

How can a small puppy like this, cause an earthquake?

Her tail is not like a tail

It is like Dara Singh’s mace

She firmly holds in the grip of her teeth

my life, my reputation, doesn't even spare my pyjama

Grandma

I'm unable to bear this dog's torture

Don’t know what will happen to me now!

Ouch!

She keeps me awake all night

Even if I scold, she doesn't care

She keeps me awake all night

Oh brother! Keep counting the days

Yes, Dharma

Sir

You promised to find a home for the dog in 4 days. It's been 2 weeks now.

Please find a solution soon. I can't bear this torture!

Sure! By the way, give it good food. The dog looks damn weak.

Only good-looking dogs get adopted.

Okay sir

[TV commercial of an ice-cream plays]

Even if I scold, she doesn't care

She keeps me awake all night

Oh brother! Keep counting the days

Look this side, do not move.

Look how pretty she looks!

Now watch people queue up to adopt her!

[Dr. Ashwin] Look!

She's in her prime, you need to be careful.

In addition to finding her a home, we'll have to accommodate her pups, too.

Yes sir, tell me.

When I'm here, why fear!

At 4 pm today, the interested party will meet you.

Okay sir

Whatsapp your address

[Dharma] I will text you

[Murali] What is this Uttam?

How can you leave so early?

Learn from Dharma. He has never asked for leave.

Nor has he asked to go home early.

[Dharma] Murali sir, I'm going home early today. Bye.

[Door bell rings]

[A dialogue from a popular movie plays]

[Door bell continues to ring]

[Door is swung open]

[Mother] Come.

- [Boy crying] Mummy - Ma'am, it's not the dog's fault.

It is a trained dog.

- Hey boy, don't you want the dog? - I do

Why do you need the dog when we have your dad at home?

Poor boy wants the dog...

- Ma'am please - [Boy crying] I want the dog

Get inside the car

Ma'am, it's not the dog's fault. It is well trained.

Ma'am please!

[Man 1] Looks like he has guests

[Man 2] How does that matter? He'll get a fitting lesson

[Lady 1] How dare he!

[Chotu] Even if he shouts, we're not scared of him.

I didn't want to get into a fight with him to maintain peace in the colony

But today, I'll show him who I am!

[Lady 1] Sure, let's see

[Man 2] Call him out.

[Lady 2] Hello, excuse me.

Don't you know pets aren't allowed here?

You insist on following rules for all else.

[Krupakar] It doesn't apply only to us. It is for you and for your dog as well.

[Man 2] Acting smart with us?

If the cat shuts its eye and drinks milk, you think the world won't know?

[Krupakar] How dare you keep a pet?

This is what happens when wayward people like him live in this colony.

God alone knows what else he's upto?

[Lady 2] Look at the way he's glaring at us!

[Lady 1] To hell with his glares!

Kids play out here. Imagine having a dog in the same place!

[Krupakar] Why did you even bring it here?

You better get him out of here.

- Or else, you'll have to get out. - [Man 1] Absolutely

[Loud clang of metal]

This is my house.

I will live here.

This is my dog.

It will live here, too.

Let me see which b#st@%d has the guts to throw us out.

Damn, I think I forgot to turn off the gas.

- [Krupakar] I didn't get scared at all

- [Krupakar wife] Let's go. -[Krupakar] Leave me.

- Hello. Did you arrive? - I'm coming

Hey you...

Me?

If I see you wheeling on this road

I'll pluck the parts out and hand it to you.

Not of the bike, but of your body.

[KEATON]

You think I'm jobless? I'm a dog doctor. Not a dog broker.

I didn't mean that. But please understand my situation

Okay, I'll put up a post on Facebook

Send me the dog's license number immediately.

License?

[Turns off the TV]

I haven't got it done.

You don't have one? Then do it right now.

If you have a license, adoption gets easier.

Okay sir. Where do I get it done?

[DOG LICENSE CAMP 2020]

[Kamalesh] Next

Come Pammi.

Hi...

- [Devika] Name? - Pammi

What do you feed her?

Pedigree and milk. And fruits at night.

Good. Is she trained?

Yes, the milk she drinks is fetched by herself!

Well groomed.

[Lady] My sugar plum

- What happened sweety? Are you hungry? - [Boy crying]

Mummy! Come soon. I'm hungry.

What's your problem?

- Not you sweety. Relax. - [Kamalesh] Next

Name?

Dharma

Not yours. The dog's.

What do you call it?

[Clicking of the tongue in the background]

[Clicks tongue]

Sorry?

Its name is...[clicks tongue]

Really?

That's how I call it. Write it now.

Hmmm

What do you feed it?

Idli

What?

Idli

Only idli?

No, I give chutney, too.

Look. Dogs have a special diet. You should stick to that.

And maintain its hygiene, too.

So, take this. Dog Essential Care Guide.

It mentions how to take care of one's pet. You need it.

Don't teach me how to take care of my pet.

Keep that book with you. Let's get down to business.

Give me the license.

[Kamalesh] Next...

[Throws the book in the bin]

Tell me.

Hi

Hi. Can we come in?

No

Hello, Mr. Dharma! Excuse me.

My name is Devika.

- Kamalesh - Pragati

We are from the Animal Welfare Board.

We've got a complaint that your dog isn't being looked after well.

Who gave it?

She did

Are you joking?

First you complain and then come to check on me?

We have the authority. So, shall we come in?

Cigarette isn't good for dogs.

It's not the dog but I who smoke it.

Smoking is injurious to health.

Anybody's health.

Come to the point

[Clicks tongue]

Not you. Your dog. [Clicks tongue] Where is it?

Hey dog!

Not you. My dog.

So, why is there only one fish in the aquarium?

There were three. Now there's only one.

Animal cruelty is a punishable offence.

The other day we caught an offender.

He was sentenced to 4 years in prison.

4 years

But you don't worry. I'd like you to be well informed, that's all.

What to do?

It's my job.

I have to do it

[Devika] Kamalesh, check if [clicks tongue] is healthy.

Hello Chu Chu

Help! It'll bite me! It's an extremely healthy dog ma'am!

Please call it sir! It'll bite me!

Sir! Please call it!

[Kamalesh continues to scream]

Oh god!

Your dog is damn sharp

Anyway, the Pedigree is over. Buy a new one.

You eat the idlis. Keep the cigarettes away from the dog.

So, we're off. For now. Bye [clicks tongue].

Dharma

Yes, Dharma! All well?

You have two days. Find someone by then.

If not, I'll plonk him on your desk.

Oh come on! This job is snap of a finger for me!

What! He cut the call?

[Manju] Don't say you want more time! I can't wait any longer.

[Krupakar] I have no money. You both go inside.

I need my money back

I'm saying I have no money.

What are you saying?

I didn't borrow it for gambling, okay?

I'll give it when I get the promotion.

[Manju] I can't wait that long. [Krupakar] Then I can't give it to you.

- [Manju] If you don't, I won't budge from here. - [Krupakar] Do as you please.

Hey dog!

Come here

What are you staring at?

Will you come or should I bash you up?

No, I'll leave.

So you've hired people to bash me up, huh? I'll fetch the police.

Just you wait....

Is there no one from the patient's family?

Coming right behind us.

Hey.. hey..

[Security guard] Hey dog!

Somebody catch it...

ECG is normal. It's just a panic attack that you had.

Do you have anxiety issues?

Okay. Do you smoke?

[Doctor] Who the hell let that dog in?

[Security gaurd] It came running behind the ambulance.

[Charlie Chaplin on TV] I'm sorry, I don't want to be an emperor.

That is not my business.

I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.

I shall like to help everyone if possible.

We think too much and feel too little.

More than machinery, we need humanity.

More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.

Without these qualities, life will be violent.

And all will be lost.

[TV commercial of an ice-cream plays]

[Dr. Ashwin] Thank god you're at home!

Why can't you answer the phone? I tried calling you so many times!

Feels like I've come to a bar.

What brings you here, sir?

What do you mean?

Didn't you call and blast me the other day?

That's why I've decided to reduce your tension today.

[Whistles]

Come, come kids

Come

Who are these people, sir?

They're here to adopt the dog. What else?

Ma'am come in, please. Come in.

you too, come in sir.

That's the dog!

[In his native tongue] I'll take care of you later!

Ma'am, here. Take it for a trial.

- [Kid 1] Give it to me

- [Kid 2] I want to go first. - [Kid 1] No, I want to!

[Compounder] Careful kids. Be gentle with the dog.

- [Kid 1] Hey cutie, come, come!

Don't be scared, come.

It looks so cute!

Uncle, have you named it?

No, it's a new dog. Name it once you take it home.

Hmmm

Mummy, I want a black dog.

Don't kid. It's easier to spot the dirt, in a black dog.

[Kid 3] But I want one....

That's true

Has the dog been potty trained?

Of course! It even flushes after doing its job!

[Lady] Hello...hi...!

Sir, I need to have a word with you.

What's the matter?

He's just concerned because he's been with the dog so long.

Obviously, he'll miss it.

Don't worry. I think the kids are already in love with the dog.

Happy? I'll leave now.

He will transfer the license documents to you.

[Lady] Okay

Let's go ma'am.

Drink little one...

Take son...

What happened son? You seem to be upset.

What nonsense is this! Brainless...

[Dog barking on TV]

Don't keep barking...

Go eat your idli.

[Adrika] Uncle...

Doggy?

Is it sleeping?

Once it wakes up, please show this picture and tell that Adrika made it.

Uncle, why don't you ever smile?

[Adrika's mother] Adrika!

Okay uncle, see you tomorrow. Bye.

[Dr. Ashwin] How long does it take for you to transfer the license?

I'll get it done, sir.

No use of that now. They've got the forms home already.

Take the documents and sign it for them. Don't ruin my reputation.

That lady is repeatedly calling me saying that the dog doesn't flush after its potty.

I'll send the address. Please go.

[Shanti Nivas - Peaceful house]

Come out! Now!

Mummy, I want a black doggy...

Slowly, the pathways are becoming easy for us

Uncle, I taught Charlie the 'thanks' gesture.

Really?

Charlie, come here.

Uncle come. Quick.

Okay.

Charlie, show him...

Charlie do the 'thanks' gesture.

She did it a while ago uncle.

Charlie, please fold your hands and show him what you did a while ago.

I promise she did it, uncle.

Please do it Charlie...

Adi, looks like Charlie is tired. She'll do it later.

No uncle. She did it some time ago.

Please Charlie...show him

If Charlie doesn't do it, lets not give her the ice-cream.

Okay forget it! I'm leaving.

All you do is eat, sleep and wander. Can you do anything else?

Poor kid. She was in tears.

Don't come to me with helmet now

Okay, okay. Show Adrika what you learnt when she comes tomorrow.

Understood?

I'll be back home soon today.

I have a surprise for you this evening.

What's this new trick now? Move it!

Oh yeah! Charlie fetch!

Okay then...

I'll take you for a ride in the evening. Okay? Bye.

[Manju] You keep asking me to come to various places. What do you think of yourself?

- I'll thrash you! - Please....

forget about your promotion

[Murali sir] Dharma, here's the promotion list of your department.

Let me know who is eligible.

Okay sir.

[Murali] I'll ask them to load it.

Sir

Done? Okay.

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world

Not even our troubles

[Colleagues] So Kruparkar has finally got his promotion! Congratulations!

[Dharma's voiceover] Charlie Chaplin is right

I had a limited view of life. But Charlie came along and changed it.

What happened? Still angry?

The house is full of paw prints.

I'll begin painting the house from tomorrow.

Go to Adrika's house for a few days.

Hey! Why haven't you eaten anything?

Oh yeah?

Now?

Charlie

Sorry doctor. I left the ball with Charlie.

I'll ensure it doesn't happen again.

Dharma, this isn't because she swallowed the ball.

Okay. Then?

She has Hemangiosarcoma.

I hope there's no problem. Please give her some medication.

I will. But it won't suffice.

Do you have to operate on her?

Dharma, she has cancer.

She has clots in her veins.

I have conducted all sorts of test - Blood test, CT scan...

It's confirmed she has cancer.

But I've looked after her well, doctor. How can she get cancer?

Like you suggested, she's even got all her vaccinations.

You've looked after her well. But that's not it.

I feel this is genetic mutation.

Some breeders mate siblings and this happens.

This is called inbreeding. Some breeders will do anything for money.

I found her on the road, doctor. I didn't buy her from a breeder.

I agree. But you found a lost dog.

How else will you find a labrador on the street?

I'll prescribe some medicines. Take care of her.

[Dr. Ashwin] I know you're hurt.

But she's in pain, too. Remember that.

Dharma!

How much time does she have doctor?

[Dr. Ashwin] Can't say Dharma. She's in her final stage.

You can get chemotherapy done.

But you'd rather have her living a short and sweet life than a long and painful one.

Happiness heals pain, they say.

Charlie has been my healing happiness.

But where do I seek for the happiness that will heal her pain?

[Film showcasing snow plays]

SNOW

I kept thinking that it was the ice-cream that excited her.

But...

Snow...

Life has brought us both to this unknown juncture

Where the nights are dark without the stars

Even the mornings are lost and shocked

because our dreams have shattered

I am speechless and yet I am complaining

and asking why the situations are merciless and unbearable

[Dharma] Let's go Charlie

Without you, this would be a wasteful journey.

I am sad and the paths are sad too. Please don’t leave.

I want to stop the time

and hold your hands so that you stay

Please stay!

I am fighting with the situations but I am stumbling

I am smiling but I am scared.

My heart knows that our journey is about to end

Let us go for a never ending walk

- [Adrika] Uncle, when will you both return?

- [Dharma] As soon as possible.

- [Adrika] Okay, come soon. I'll miss you guys.

Don't let Charlie play in the water. She'll catch a cold.

Please bring Charlie back in time for my fancy dress competition.

I'm going dressed as Charlie Chaplin.

Don't tell Charlie, it's a surprise.

Uncle...

she really did show the 'thanks' gesture the other day.

It's all right now.

No, it's not. Hold it the other way.

No way! What do you know? I'm the one using it. I know...

It's nice.

Please keep your foot firmly.

- [Charlie barks] - Yes, I have

Ah! Son! When did you come?

New one. Got it from the city. Nice?

I am standing quietly looking down at your footsteps

So that, I can follow wherever you are going

My heart is crying

my life has no meaning without you

Life without you is maddening

this bonding is beyond life

I can’t just let you go and I will fight with the destiny

Please stay!

Come Charlie.

Dharma...

Sir...

The first time you brought Charlie to me, she was petrified of the injection. Remember?

Yes...

Wait, let me share a video with you on Whatsapp. Watch it right now.

[Video on phone] Hey come on Keaton.

Come on

This is going to be fun

Are you scared?

[Dr. Ashwin] She's so scared of needles!

Has she been injected before this?

[Video on phone] You naughty bitch

You think you can escape from me? Huh? No. Never.

Now see what I do to you

[Vicious laugh]

Now taste this cigarette

[Stubs cigarette on the puppy]

[Puppy whining in pain]

Keaton

I've got his address. I will file a complaint with the police.

If you can, go say 'hi' to him. Say it with some punch, okay?

[Dogs barking]

[Bell ringing]

Who are you?

What do you want?

Do you have a spade?

What?

A pick axe?

[Angry barks]

I will do the talking. You keep quiet.

Do you remember her?

Keaton

Syringe

Cigarette.

[Dharma] Sir, my job here is done.

He's safe here. Go ahead and file the complaint.

Charlie!

Every dog has its day.

Today is Charlie's.

Didn't he mention where he's off to?

He doesn't bother telling us all that. Moron!

Did he look after the dog well?

Would a man who tortures humans, treat his dog well?

I pity that dog.

I always had my doubts about him.

Yes! He always tortured it.

You're showing so much concern about the dog.

But there's a 'pets not allowed' board outside.

Yes. But not anymore.

The rules have changed. I got it done.

We need pet lovers like you.

We have many rescue dogs.

You must adopt one. Give me your number.

Sure! Next time. I have to get my bike serviced.

[Vicky] Don't bother with that moron ma'am!

Raigad

Hello ma'am. I've stepped out for a bit.

Is that so? Share the location. I'll go right away.

Okay.

Same location!

[Pragati] Has the first aid been done?

[Breeder] Let me go

[Pragati] Ma'am is here. Hi ma'am.

How many dogs are here?

115 ma'am

And puppies?

77

Have you got their pictures?

Yes.

[Grunts]

[Breeder] Leave me

Photos?

[Kamalesh] Yes, here.

[Devika] Where is he off to?

[Devika] another culprit has fled the scene

I will take care of him.

you two check the CCTV footage and let me know

Our heartbeat is a vehicle

Sometimes it’s sharp

And sometimes when it slows

Just stop and kick it twice.

Look for a passenger in every road

And even if the vehicle runs empty sometimes

Rejoice it! the emptiness has its own charm

[Devika] Why didn't you tell me earlier that the battery is empty?

[Kamalesh] I thought you'll figure when it runs out of charge.

My foot! I've shared the location with you. Go to hell!

[Kamalesh] okay ma'am

Hi

Do you have rooms?

Yes sir, single or double?

We do sir, but...

Pets not allowed sir.

[Hotel receptionist] But if the dog barks, it will disturb our guests.

Don't worry. She never barks.

[Barks]

[YOU CAN KEEP YOUR TRUST IN US. AND WE SHALL KEEP YOU ON THE RIGHT PATH

[Hotel receptionist] Excuse me sir?

Sir...

Sorry sir, pets not allowed.

She's like a pair of eyes for me. I can't budge without her.

Sorry sir. Hotel rules.

Sir, just imagine. A blind man. In this dark hour. Where will he even go?

No mummy. The office has booked a nice room...

Hotel Narayana!

Our heartbeat is a vehicle

Sometimes it’s sharp

And sometimes when it slows

Just stop and kick it twice

Don’t stop till you reach your destination

Isn’t that what everyone used to say?

And when you aim for the sky, your path gets less crowded

We have befriended the road

Let’s go and measure the entire world

Let our heartbeat raise a bit more

[Devika] Excuse me. Did someone by name Dharma check in last night?

Yes ma'am. The blind man. He had come with his dog.

Blind?

Yes

Yes, blind. Can you charge my mobile please?

Stay here. I'll be back.

Whether our heartbeat says it’s exhausted or energetic

Our feet should just keep going

Hey Charlie!

Charlie! Stop!

Charlie!

Charlie!

Charlie!

Don't run. Wait!

Charlie!

Charlie!

Charlie!

Charlie!

Stay..

Charlie, stay.

Charlie

[Glass shatters]

[indistinct chatter]

I had never been to a police station.

You gave me that privilege, too.

Poor dog, sir. She's done it unknowingly and you put her behind bars?

An owner should be responsible of his dog.

Ask him to give 10,000 bucks.

Okay sir.

[Constable] If you have got no cash then continue to rot in there.

Okay, here take a look.

[Barks]

I have only two thousand bucks. I have to reach Himachal with this amount.

[Constable] Himachal? you can hardly go anywhere beyond this city

This is all I have.

This amount won't do for us.

[Dharma] Sir, please understand

Sir, I want to file a complaint.

Tell me.

That dog is mine.

What?

The dog in the lock up is mine. He's stolen it from me.

Oh!

Sir, he has only two thousand bucks.

It's okay. The dog's owner is here. She will pay the rest of it.

Isn't it ma'am?

Me?

[Police] Yes

Why sir?

Your dog has broken the windshield of our jeep. That's why.

Hey, let him go.

[Constable] Okay sir.

Sir, I'll give you the two thousand bucks. But please don't release him.

Do you take this for a lodge to take money and keep him inside?

Take his signature and release him.

Okay sir.

Pay up the money and take the dog.

Sir, you can't let him go.

I am an Animal Welfare Officer. This fellow...

[Constable] Ma'am, here's your dog.

Sir, this fellow is torturing the dog.

He's also partnered with a criminal and is running an illegal breeding centre.

According to IPC 428 and 429, it's an offence to kill or hurt any animal including a stray dog.

This fellow and his boss have been torturing so many animals.

It has all been captured on CCTV. I will submit evidence.

You can't let him go in exchange for money

Don't release him until my team comes.

If you do that, I'll have to take strict action against you.

Pay up and take your damn dog away!

What are you feeding her?

Get down.

Until my team comes, I will stay with her.

Get down right away.

You think I don't know the sort of person you are?

I know where you're taking her...

[Police] Will you two leave or should I put you in the lock up again?

My lover is in my heart.

Lord Ram is in my heart

My lover is in my heart.

Lord Ram is in my heart

Oh where, oh where…

Oh where, oh where…

Where should I go to find you?

My lover is still in my heart..

I've seen Lord Brahma, seen Lord Vishnu

Don't bark! I'm here to save you.

I have seen Goddess Saraswati

I have seen Goddess Saraswati

Sanwariya is in my heart

Charlie...

I've been working for 4 years.

Just because you change her name, you think I won't get to know?

On top of it, that blind man act at the hotel.

That bald breeder is your boss, right?

Look. How cute she is! How can you torture this poor soul?

I've never seen a zoo sadist like you!

Who said I torture her?

I mean...

[Phone rings]

Wait.

[Kamalesh on phone] Pragati, looks like the rescuer has to be rescued!

[Devika] Aye!

[Kamalesh] We've checked the CCTV footage.

[Devika] Wait...

Tell me now.

[Kamalesh] Ma'am, it was Dharma who thrashed that breeder like a hero!

Didn't I tell you he's a nice man?

Come back now. Such a waste to have gone all the way...

Come Charlie...

All the dogs rescued from the breeder's house is safe.

Thank you.

I'm going back tomorrow.

I came here in a hurry, without informing my mum

I'd appreciate if you could drop me to the airport.

You can go and sleep inside.

Thanks.

[Kamalesh on phone] Ma'am, the direct flight is only available tomorrow evening.

Shall I book it for you?

Okay.

She follows you everywhere!

That's how she is.

She doesn't believe strangers.

I've been to Ladakh.

On a Bullet. That too, a solo ride.

So, how far are you planning to ride?

Hey, where to?

[Excited barks]

[Dharma] Excuse me sir...

[Receptionist] Yes?

Can you take my dog for paragliding?

Dog? No.

Who takes a dog on paragliding?

Hi sir

Yes madam

She can. But the rule says someone must accompany her.

They have a team. Let one of them go with her.

One of us, is what he says. Why don't you go?

Me? I can't.

Why? Scared?

No. I'm not interested, that's all.

Why don't you go? Charlie will be happy, too.

Charlie doesn't trust strangers. So you go. All will be well.

[Excited barks]

I'm focused

I've been watching for the omens

I've been listening to everything you've said

Its been running through my head

Locked and loaded

I've got the feeling that you've noticed

Yeah I've only just begun

I won't stop until its done

Till you're broken

So welcome to the fire

I'm the one who lit the night up

See them running through your fame

As we're walking through the flames

Getting higher

So welcome to the fire

Welcome to the fire

See them running through your fame

As we're walking through the flames

Getting higher

So welcome to the fire

I've been waiting for this moment

The final battle of the chosen

See I'm never gonna quit. Got my legacy set in motion

So welcome to the fire...

welcome to the fire...

[Dharma] Charlie...

See them running through your fame

As we're walking through the flames

Getting higher

welcome to the fire

welcome to the fire

Someone was on Cloud 9 along with Charlie!

Do you want to know something?

The positons dogs sleep in reveal a lot about their feelings.

They sleep like this only when they feel safe and are attached to someone.

She trusts you a lot.

[Devika] I'm so happy to be part of this event.

See you soon.

Charlie. From tomorrow, the side cars is entirely yours.

What happened?

Wait, I'm coming.

Leave it.

How many times have I told you not to roll in the mud...

[Devika] Let's go? I have to be at the airport by 7 pm.

How careless you are! Why don't you keep a tab on these things? Move it.

[Devika] It's a skin infection. So dangerous it is!

Why have a dog if you can't take care of it?

Charlie...you will be okay. show it to me.

[Dharma] Cigarette

Wait, let me get the ointment

Lend your ear.

Let's spend some moments in happiness

Hey...This gift of nature you and I have

[Devika] I've missed my flight mummy...

Okay.

Do come. Come let's enjoy

[Adrika mom calling]

Do come

Let's forget the burden of sorrows for now

Do come

These flowing winds that come and go

It's not just you whose luck is such everyone has to face this

[Dharma] I thought she was excited about ice-cream.

I later realised it was for the snow.

Before something can go wrong, I want her to see the snow.

Hey, don't worry. She'll be all right. Your love will keep her strong.

Bear this in mind

things will not be like you intend.

Things are never the way they appear

That's the rule of this journey.

This is the gift of life.

In all these tough times, there is a sweet taste of happiness, too.

Do come...

These flowing winds that come and go,

Do come...

Sometimes salty, sometimes fresh.

Do come...

This gift of nature

That you and I have, we have to accept it with love.

Finish it fast Charlie. We've to leave.

Hi Devika!

Hey..

[Karshan Roy] You look nice. It's been a while since I've seen you. How are you?

[Devika] I'm good.

[Karshan Roy] I finally get to meet you.

This must be Charlie. Hey Charlie! Hey Dharma.

Hi.

I'm Karshan Roy. I work with Travel Diaries.

It's an international travel magazine.

Devika has told me everything about you.

And I thought it's really interesting.

So this time we want to feature you on the cover.

I mean, about Charlie.

So can you please tell us about your journey?

Let's go..

Wow! Unbelievable

I'm sure Charlie's wishes will come true

I will pray for her and for you

And thank you very much for your valuable time. Alright, lets go?

You carry on. I'll join you shortly.

Sure.

Lovely meeting you Dharma. Bye Charlie. All right. Let's go.

He's a close friend

We studied together in Bengaluru. He lives here.

When I first told him about you

He got very excited to meet you.

I have work to attend to, so I've to go.

It was really a memorable journey.

Charlie will be all right, don't worry.

If you need any help, feel free to call me.

Bye Charlie.

Bye.

Bye.

[Devika] Let's go.

[Karshan roy] Jump in.

What?

Okay enough.

Enough.

Don't be so sad Charlie.

It was the two of us who started this journey.

So let's continue doing so.

We are literally living on streets, right Charlie?

Where are you heading to?

Himachal

Is it a leisure trip?

Yeah, you could say that.

Oh, nice!

Your name?

Dharma.

I am Vamshi. Vamshi Singh.

This is my son. Blacky.

Your son's name?

Daughter. She's Charlie.

Oh...

Hey, Blacky, no!

Hi Charlie, welcome to my home!

These are Blacky's medals from various dog shows.

- Dharma right? - Yes

Do you want to eat now? Or do you want to freshen up first?

I think I'll freshen up.

So you've set off to see the snow...

When the people you love the most leave, it hurts. Isn't it son?

Sir, your wife....?

Oh

I haven't told you about it yet!

Her name is Rani. Our's is first sight at love!

But our parents didn't agree.

So we eloped and settled down here.

She worked at a bank near by. We were so happy!

We led a wonderful life. But we couldn't have kids.

We consulted many doctors.

They told us we could never have kids.

The problem was with me.

After that, I went into depression.

Then one day, my wife gave me a wonderful gift!

Guess what?

My son, Blacky!

My life transformed after he came.

Then Rani gave me another big surprise.

There was a letter on the table. But I didn't open it.

My help Balvinder told me that...

she... with a colleague

Aye, it's ok..

she eloped with her colleague. Anyway...

Leave it

Poor lady, how long would she have tolerated two fools like us!

I hope you never leave me. Should you even think about it, I'll kill you!

Come, let's dance.

[Popular Hindi retro song plays]

Hey... Charlie...

Hey Dharma, Good morning!

Yes sir, very well

There's some fresh fish.

You freshen up and come. Let's feast on it!

[Vamshi] Balvinder ji...

Come with me there are miles to go

Ain't nothing in our way at all

Let seasons come, the leaves may grow or fall

Oh yeah.

Summer winds cool the way as we travel far

Winter sun to keep us warm

We follow the rainbow to find a pot of gold

Cheers!

Charlie...

[Blacky barks]

On the way we'll face the weather

Hold my hand we'll roam together

Don't let go for I can't walk alone

Fallen leaves look pretty when you're by my side

Old paths feel fresh and fine

The clouds all look like you when they fall upon my eyes

Hey Blacky, the swing is broken.

Go play somewhere else. I'll repair it later.

Veerji, that'll be 20,000 bucks.

20,000 bucks?

Yes sir.

Have you forgotten our horse trade?

Yes Veerji. Consider that deal to be sealed.

Keep 15,000 bucks. Good day.

Okay Veerji. Good day.

Charlie... Charlie... look here

Hey... Blacky

Hey... son, look here

Yes.. made for each other

Ah! Already love sick?

My Blacky is already heart broken because you're leaving.

So then? Leaving huh?

Yes, thank you so much.

Dharma, we prefer different brands in liquor, but in the end we are drunk!

No formalities between us.

Dharma, I have something for you.

This is a participant pass to the national-level dog show in Ludhiana next week.

This time I won't be participating.

If you have the time, go watch it.

You and Charlie will have the best experience. Trust me.

Sure.

Dharma, When you finish the trip, come and meet us on your way home.

All the best.

This is hard! Come let's go fishing Blacky.

Blacky...

Hmm... He has repaired the swing

[Anchor 1] The Nobel laureate Konrad Lorenz once said

“The bond with a true dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth will ever be”

[Crowd cheering]

[Anchor 1] Without taking much of your time, lets get the show started right away.

Welcome our Judges onboard for this year's show.

His pets have not only saved people from danger

but also bravely stood by the nation during war crisis.

Please welcome Mr. Pradham Singh from Amritsar.

[Anchor 1] Welcome onboard sir.

And from Kolkata we have our dog psychologist Namratha Banarjee

[Anchor 2] The founder of the Pets Care Foundation & Adoption Centre, Mr. Vivan Sharma from Delhi

[Anchor 1] And the most awarded Animal Welfare Officer from Maharashtra Ms. Devika Aaradhya

Hello, hi.

When we have such prestigious judges here with us today, what more can be asked for?

Let's give it up for our first participant, Mr. Ashok Rathod and Sarama.

Our three times championship winner here at NADC. -[Lady] Come on Ashok!

They look pretty confident.

Let's see if they can take the trophy home this year

[Anchor 2] Thats a quick start with a smooth double hurdle jump.

Moving past the tunnel.

Quickly through the dog walk.

A smooth ring jump.

Tricky yet amazingly past the wave pool

There seems to be a bit of a contact with the obstacle

Swiftly through the long bar jump

Inside the tunnel again

Moving through the see-saw.

Leading to the A-frame

and the final jump.

What a spectacular performance by Sarama, a two and half year old Belgian Malinois.

[Anchor 1] And now, lets give a huge round of applause for our second participant, Mr.Kashi from Lucknow

[Devika] Hi

along with his 2 year old doberman who was the first runner up of the 24th NADC.

[Devika] What brings you here?

Participant?

All the best!

[Anchor 2] They take the first jump over the hurdle.

Remarkable pace. Truly tremendous through the tunnel.

Good connect with the dog over the ramp. And nice smooth jump from the ring.

Nicely through the wavepools.

It's lovely to watch them perform together.

That's the highest jump any dog has taken so far, ladies and gentlemen.

They seem to be doing great for the first time.

That's the final jump that has been taken.

And they finish it.

[Anchor 1] So let's welcome our next participant Dharma and Charlie.

an one and half year old female Labrador.

[Anchor 2] Look at the energy and the enthusiasm of Charlie.

Looks like she wants to quickly finish and take the trophy home.

Charlie...

[Anchor 1] Uh-oh

That was bit of a wrong start to the agility.

[Judge 1] What's happening there?

[Judge 2] Must be for the food!

[Anchor 2] Well, she certainly seems to be entertaining the spectators and the judges in a totally different way.

[Judge 1] Hello, excuse me!

What the hell is happening man?

You're unable to handle your own pet! In addition, you're wasting all our time!

- Sir actually we are not here to participate - Oh really??

Do you even understand where you are standing right now?

Do we look like buffoons?

That's what he thinks

What's the name again?

[Devika] Charlie

Charlie.

Chaplin. Good combination.

In my 13 years of experience I have never seen anything like this.

[Judge 1] Ruined the show for us!

Looks like your dog is more intelligent than you.

Shut up!

Just eat, drink and sleep! Can you do anything else!!

Because of you, I am to be shamed

Never show me your face again.

You are my friend

You are like a pen filled with colorful ink

Sometimes in blue, sometimes in yellow

your name is written on every page

All the roads that we walk together

If I ever hit a roadblock, direct me to a new path

You are a little innocent

You are a little eccentric

You speak the language of love, without saying a thing

O' my dear friend

When it rains

We get lost in the crowd of droplets

When the sun shines, in our games

I roleplay a tiger and you a bear

I share with you the secrets and the feelings

That are stored in my little heart

You are my ride. You take me around the world

If I ever to hit a roadblock, direct me to a new path

May our friendship never break

I want to be close to you every single day

When you get to know that I am upset

you make me laugh

And if you ever to make a mistake

we shall correct it together

You keep it playful with everybody around

If I ever hit a roadblock

direct me to a new path

You are a little innocent

You are a little eccentric

You speak the language of love, without saying a thing

O' my dear friend

Camera 3, pan to the dog

Yes fix.

You think she can make it?

Impossible

[Anchor 1] Ladies and gentlemen this is truly impressive.

History has been made out here with this performance at the 25th NADC.

I mean look at the audience around us

all of them standing on their feet, giving a fantastic standing ovation

watching this truly beautiful bond.

Love you Charlie

[Crowd cheering]

Anyway, there are lots of Charlies back home, too.

Mummy called to say they're all missing me.

So I'm off.

The first time I came to your house, I had fixed a tracker on Charlie.

I'll come looking for her whenever I miss her.

Okay?

[Dharma Voiceover] As someone who has always lived a confined life

Only after stepping out into the world, I discovered just how beautiful life is.

Life has become colourful with these new memories

My heart yearned for this journey to never end!

[glass bottle shatters]

[Distant yelping]

[Dharma] Haven't I worked without taking leave for so long?

No, I can't wait sir.

How can they hold my salary?

What should I have informed, sir?

Haven't I worked this long? So I am entitled to my salary!

No need. I know how to get it!

Charlie...

Hello sir, I've come from Satara.

Me... and with me, I have a...

My dog hasn't eaten anything since two days

Please keep this mobile and give us food.

[Hotel owner] Chotu...

[petty shop woman] Hello...

[Grandpa on phone] Who is that, dear?

[Grandma on phone] No voice at the other end.

Hello..

[Charlie barks]

[Grandma on phone] Son?

Dharma?

Come Charlie, let's go.

It's not our's anymore, come let's go.

Charlie, please.

Smile at your child

My feet and my prayers both wonʼt work

Smile at your child

[Baul instrument playing]

Compassion my lord

Im setting out on this path

please allow me to come close to you

Give me such companionship throughout

that my forehead now only bows at your sacred place

There are a thousand hinderance along the way

but you can make it go away

give me such companionship throughout

That my forehead now only bows at your sacred place

I ask you to watch over and nothing more

Turn your face to me god and smile at your child

If you stay oblivious My feet and my prayers both wonʼt work

Turn your face to me god and smile at your child

Smile at your child

[Buddhist chants]

We can't guarantee you anything. Nor are we sure how long you need to stay here.

She was pregnant, but her puppies are no more.

God you know my yesterdays

It was blank as a sheet

Then why would you do this?

Is there something in me that upsets you

I think I am flawed in hundred different ways

Sometimes I walk here, sometimes I walk there

Sometimes I fall, sometimes I fly

you lifted me from the darkness of night

now let the light flow in

You brought me out of night

Now, do not deny me the dawn

Turn your face to me god and smile at your child

If you stay oblivious My feet and my prayers both wonʼt work

Turn your face to me god and smile at your child

Smile at your child

Charlie...

Charlie

How much do you love me?

I love you too charlie

Sit before me god

Give me any consolation

Whatever you want, I’ll make it happen here onwards

I only have the right to plead

Rest, from earth to the sky it’s all yours

You’re in deeds, you’re in actions

You’re incharge of my breath too

you lifted me from the darkness of night

now let the light flow in

[Kids] - Hey cutie...

No. Don't touch.

Turn your face to me god and smile at your child

If you stay oblivious my feet and my prayers both wonʼt work

Turn your face to me god and smile at your child

Smile at your child

[Dharma] Stop. Stop...

[Dr. Ashwin on call] Dharma at this stage, Charlie has limited time.

Whatever you wish to do for her, do it soon!

Charlie

There's been a landslide. Roads are closed for now.

We request you to kindly co-operate.

[Army officer] Do not let any vehicles go ahead

The convoy will be here in sometime. I need the list of all the rescuers.

Sir, what happened?

There's a landslide ahead.

When will you permit movement?

I said, you can't go. There's been a landslide.

Sir, that's not possible, I can't go back

I have travelled too far, I need to reach before it's too late.

Don't you get it? There's a landslide ahead.

I don't care, sir. I have come from far.

I have a dog, too.

What is he blabbering? Please take him away.

Sir, please sir

[Officer Bakshi] Let me see how you'll go any further.

[Dharma] Please sir I will have to go.

[Officer Bakshi] I said go back

[Army Commander] Mr.Bakshi, what's going on?

[Officer Bakshi] Sir, this fellow is crazy.

Just doesn't get it despite telling him that the roads are closed.

Sir, he's not letting me go to the other side. Please help me.

My dog is unwell. I need to show her snow at the earliest.

If I don't do it today, it might be too late.

Please sir... I beg you.

Please sir...

So how's Charlie now?

She is okay.

When I got to know your story

I was reminded of my army dogs.

Either they leave us, or we leave them.

The one who gets left behind, is the one who suffers.

[Transceiver]

Listen Dharma, I know what this journey means to you and Charlie

But there's been a landslide and the situation is really bad.

I don't know when the roads will open.

But there's a convoy that is going to Kashmir tomorrow.

You will find the snow there too, you can join them.

You can stay here for the night.

Sir

How do you know about me and Charlie?

Oh! You are famous my friend

Where is it?

Here

A Tale of Dharmaraj in Kaliyug

The whole world knows your story

Best wishes my friend

Here the temperature drops steeply at night. Take care.

Mr. Bakshi

[Breathing heavily]

He says if we travel towards Kashmir tomorrow, we might be able to see the snow.

But time!

No, I don't think we can wait any longer.

Charlie

[Heavy breathing]

Charlie, have you seen snow before this?

This is my first time ever.

I'm tired Charlie. You carry on.

[Dharma] Sir, she was so happy that she kept dancing

[Army Officer] Where had you been?

Sir, just been out, nearby

[Adrika] I miss you Charlie

Adrika, she still hasn't showed 'thanks'.

Really Charlie? You haven't thanked yet?

As you said,

you should visit me and Blacky before going back.

[Devika on phone] What is she upto now?

Sleeping.

[Devika on phone] We should meet as soon as you come back.

Sure

[Devika on phone] Good night

Good night Devika

Are you happy Charlie?

I know

this has been a memorable day for you.

It's been the same for me too.

Let's take a flight home.

Everyone's waiting for you.

Good night Charlie.

[Auto arrives]

Charlie!

[Giggles]

Charlie

Charlie

Sir, have you seen Charlie?

No.

Have you seen Charlie?

No.

Charlie

What happened?

Sir, have you seen Charlie?

No.

Charlie

Charlie

Charlie

Charlie

Hey what happened?

Charlie..

Charlie..

Charlie..

Charlie..

Charlie..

Charlie..

Charlie..

Charlie..

Charlie..

Charlie..

Charlie..

Charlie..

Why did you leave me and come here Charlie?

Do you know how much I searched for you?

I've lost everyone I've loved.

I thought I could somehow save you

It's hurting me so much Charlie

I don't know what to do

I tried my best

doctors, prayers...

but I'm unable to save you.

[Thanks gesture]

[Charlie, you had shown the 'thanks' gesture. Please do it again.]

How much do you love me, Charlie?

Charlie, have you seen snow before this?

This is my first time ever.

Sir, the dog came running behind the ambulance

He transformed my life

Uncle, why don't you ever smile

Charlie...

This is my dog.

Brother, please come with us

I have quit smoking.

Dharma sir has changed so much!

Charlie...

Blacky is in love with Charlie

The way a dog sleeps, reveals a lot about its feelings

She trusts you a lot

[A performance to remember out here]

[Let's give it up for Dharma & Charlie and that beautiful love they share]

[The tale of Dharmaraj in Kaliyug]

[Cries uncontrollably]

[Indistinct cry]

[Indistinct cry]

[Puppy crying]

Charlie knew I'd not be able to live without her.

That's why she left me with a little Charlie.

Like I said earlier

If you are lucky, a Charlie will come into your life too.

Only if you are lucky.

[CHARLIE'S ANIMAL RESCUE CENTRE]

[Crowd chattering]

[Crowd cheering]

I realised towards the end that 'the past is always tense, the future perfect.

Charlie

The one who taught me about life

I opened an Animal Rescue Centre in the loving memory of my Charlie.

Just like Charlie, many homeless souls are waiting for a loving home.

if you choose to keep your heart's door open

You too can become the Dharmaraj of Kaliyug,

Hey.. Charlie

I'll be back soon. Take care of the house

[Snoring]

Your mother was way better than you!
