Original subtitles

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a woman.

She had four eyes.

Two hands.

And her legs were like a mare's legs.

As soon as he saw her,

he just fainted.

Wow, sir! What a story!

You are diabetic, right?

Have this.

Please come in. Tell us what the matter is.

Sir, my name is Ved Khanna.

I... I am quite disturbed. - Okay, okay.

Are you a tourist?

No, no. I live at Perry Cross Road.

Oh! I have never seen you before.

We moved here from Mumbai just a few months ago. So...

But the thing is that I am in trouble right now.

Please have a seat.

Would you like some tea? - No, thank you.

Tell me. How can I...

Help.

How can I help you?

Sir, my wife has been missing since last night.

I am really worried, sir. She is untraceable.

I don't know what to do.

Please help me.

I also miss my wife.

My wife.

But I have to come to the police station every day to deal with such nonsense.

It's so frustrating.

Look, this is how the lives of men are.

We look for a good job to have a good wife.

And when we get a good job,

we get stuck with work and fail to spend time with our wives.

Wow, sir! You should add that line to your book.

It's amazing.

I am a writer.

I write such novels.

Recently, I have been writing a new book.

'A Wife's Thirst.'

Sir, don't you get it?

My wife has been missing since last night, sir!

And you are... What is this, sir?

Sir, are you joking with me?

You are so handsome.

Why would your wife leave you?

Sir... - Did you two fight?

No, sir.

Is it because of an extra-marital affair?

What are you saying, sir?

I am not having an affair. - Did I talk about you?

I am asking if your wife had an extra-marital... - Sir.

She has no affair with anyone.

Then? Why would your wife leave you?

Case solved.

Why are you being difficult, sir?

I am not saying she left me.

I am sure you are aware of crimes against women.

Robbery, kidnapping...

What if she had an accident?

God forbid if someone killed...

Listen, sir. You are overthinking it. - Sir...

Nothing of the sort happens here. It's a small city.

Do you know what kind of cases are reported here? Losing passports,

theft,

or someone's goat going missing.

Such cases are reported here.

You are overthinking for no reason.

We cannot file a missing person's report until 24 hours have passed.

Because it is the law.

I know what the law says, sir.

I am a lawyer.

Oh, wow!

Do you have her picture?

I don't have it right now. My phone battery has drained.

But I will send it over soon.

Okay, then. We will ask you a few questions about her.

Yes, please go on. Let's start the work.

Answer them. Let's see what we can do after that.

Her full name.

Meera Khanna.

Height? - 5 feet 7 inches.

Complexion? - Wheatish.

Is she a working woman or a housewife?

Sir, there is an NGO called Naya Suraj.

She works for specially-abled kids there.

Okay. Now, tell me from the beginning. What happened?

Sir, it was my birthday yesterday. And...

Belated happy birthday.

Sir, happy birthday.

Hey! Keep quiet.

Go on, sir.

I spent the past week at the Delhi High Court.

I returned yesterday.

Meera and I...

We had decided to go to our daughter's hostel to meet her.

When I reached home last night,

Meera had planned a surprise for me.

The living room was decorated with candles and flowers.

It was... It was beautiful.

All my tiredness just disappeared.

There was a chocolate cake.

And Meera had also prepared 'rogan josh' for me.

It's my favourite dish.

But I couldn't find Meera anywhere. - 'Meera!'

'Meera!'

I looked for her everywhere.

'Meera! Where are you? Meera!'

I had to go to meet my daughter at her hostel.

So, I took my car

and left to meet my daughter.

I tried calling Meera several times.

But I couldn't get through to her.

'I am really sorry, ma'am.'

'There was so much traffic on the way that I got late.'

'Mr Khanna, she has been waiting for you since evening.'

'Come on. Let's go. - Yes, come on.'

'Where is she? - Dad!'

'Dad!'

'My dear!'

'Tia! - Dad!'

'Yeah!'

'My sweet child. - I have been waiting for you for so long, dad.'

'Why are you so late?'

'I am sorry, dear.'

'There was a lot of traffic on the way.'

'Your dad was tired of honking.'

I hid my worries from my daughter.

'Where is mom?'

'She...'

'Dad, did you have an argument with her again?'

'No, my dear.'

'We didn't have an argument.'

'Your mom had a fever.'

'What? - Yes. She wanted to come here.'

'But I told her that she should rest.'

'Did she get you a cake?'

'What? - Did she get you a cake?'

'Yes. A big one.'

'I hope it's bigger than this one.'

'Oh, my!'

'Wow!'

'This one is much bigger than that one.'

'Thank you so much, my baby!'

'But how did you order it here?'

'Dad, this is a boarding school, not a jail.'

'You can get anything if you have money.'

'I see! So, where are the candles?'

'That's nice.'

'Candles...'

'Not fair, dad. We are celebrating your birthday at this hostel!'

'Please get me out of here.'

'What's the point in learning horse riding and French?'

'I will talk to your mom, okay?'

'Yes. - Okay.'

I was with my daughter.

But I was worried about Meera's whereabouts.

"Happy birthday to you."

I waited for her all night.

But she didn't return home until this morning. So, I came here.

Please, sir.

Have you missed out on any other details?

No, sir.

Okay. Do one thing.

Go home and eat the 'rogan josh' your wife had prepared for you.

We will find your wife by the time it gets digested.

Thank you, sir.

I will wait for your call. - Yes, sure.

Thank you so much.

Where could she have gone?

Relax.

I'll give it to you.

Did you find out anything about Meera?

Where could she go out of the blue?

I have no idea.

She planned a birthday surprise for me and went missing.

Ved, don't worry. You know her. She will be back.

I know, but... Who behaves this way?

I know. - She has got all of us so worried.

I don't know what to do.

Bunty, sit. Sit down.

I think we should make a missing poster of her.

Please take him outside. I am too hassled right now.

Relax. I'll take him outside. Bunty, come on. - Feed him.

I don't remember if I fed him.

Okay. Come on.

Ved came to meet me today.

He was really worried.

Meera has been working with your NGO for many years. - Yes, sir.

Would you like to tell us something about her that caught your attention?

No, sir. Meera is a nice woman.

I can't praise her enough.

Many people come here only to earn.

But she really wanted to serve society.

Hmm. Anything else?

One more thing.

Meera disappeared for a few days before this, too.

But she had gone to Mumbai at that time.

She said she wanted to eat 'pav bhaji'. So, she went to Mumbai.

Hey! Greetings. How are you? - Greetings.

All good? - Sir, you're here!

Mr Khanna, why didn't you tell me

your wife had returned home?

Sir, she is my sister-in-law. Meera's sister.

I am Aditi, sir. - Hello.

Sorry, I didn't know that.

No, it's okay. Please come in.

Sir, the director of the NGO...

I had summoned him to the police station to question him.

He told me your wife had fled to Mumbai earlier

without informing anyone.

Sir, she hadn't fled.

She had gone there without telling me.

So what?

No. She seems like a twisted character

based on her actions.

Sir, everyone is twisted nowadays.

Aren't you twisted, too?

I mean, all of us.

Are you getting personal, sir?

No, sir.

I am only presenting the correct image of my wife in front of you.

Oh, wow.

Every husband should be like you.

Yes, you told me about the decoration. It's nice.

Can you take us to Mrs Khanna's room?

Sure. Come on.

Sir, would you like to have some tea or coffee?

We don't eat or drink anything on duty.

Okay. Come on.

Come with me. I'll teach you a lesson.

Is it upstairs? - Yes. Come on. It's upstairs.

Here.

This is her room.

Do you paint, too?

No, it belongs to the previous owner. We have to remove it. - I see.

It's quite bold.

Why do you have so many school brochures?

It's for Tia. My daughter.

Yes. She did a thorough research on all the schools.

It's a good thing. Doing all this for the kids nowadays...

I am impressed.

Okay. I shall get going now.

I will call you if I need any other details.

Sure, sir. Anytime.

I am also doing my best.

It's a good thing. Okay. Thank you.

Come, sir. - Thank you.

Please come.

You continue. Excuse me. - Okay.

Hello, sir.

Yes, Mr Khanna. Where are you?

I am at my house. Tell me.

You will have to go to Mumbai.

Constable Ram Singh will go with you.

But what happened, sir?

Actually...

You have to go to the morgue.

To... To identify the body.

You gave us Mrs Khanna's description, right?

So, we have received similar details about a body.

The body will be shown to you tomorrow evening.

The paperwork has started.

So, go to Mumbai tomorrow.

Yes. Greetings. Tell me.

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

What?

Okay, fine. Okay.

Yes, yes. Thank you.

Sir, the door is open! How did you get in?

Surprise! Yes!

Your surprise was ruined the last time, right?

So, I planned a new surprise for you.

And I also have a gift for you.

Are you upset?

Excuse me?

I am sorry, Ved.

I know you must have been worried.

I shouldn't have left without informing you after the fight.

I just needed some time to myself.

Sorry.

Just a minute, okay?

Sir, who is she?

Did you forget your wife in just two days, Mr Khanna?

Sir, he is upset with me because I left without informing him.

Sorry, baby. I promise I will never do this again.

I really promise. I am sorry, Ved.

What is this? Is this a joke? - Hey!

You are joking, baby!

Okay. I apologise to you.

I won't go anywhere without informing you again. I promise.

Excuse me, please.

Sir... Sir, she...

Who is this woman?

Sir, she is not my wife.

She is not Meera.

She is not my wife.

What are you saying?
