"Pooja..." "rahul!" "Karan...?" "When did you come?" "Where's Pooja?" "Pooja is no more" "Pooja!" "Sir, the body was hanging from this ceiling fan" "We've taken snaps of the body hanging as well as those after we brought it down" "hello." "I'm Khan." " Karan" "This is..." "Pooja's husband, RahuI." " And you?" "I'm his friend" "Good friends always stand by their friends in their time of need." "Like you" "It's another matter that trouble often comes from friends themselves!" "So Mr RahuI, who else was present here when this episode took place?" "only me" "I was asleep." "And she committed suicide" "Amazing!" "We haven't even started our investigations... and you've already decided that this is a case of suicide!" "What are you getting at?" " Just what you're guessing" "Anyway, who else stays in this house?" "There's a servant, apart from me." " And where is he?" "He has gone to his village" "police here...?" "What's up?" " The mistress has committed suicide" "What?" "Madam!" "What have you done?" "You ought to have thought how your husband would manage without you !" "alex..." " Sir!" "How could this happen?" "How...?" "So he's alex, I see" "really the servant who serves you with all his heart!" "No wonder he has arrived from the village, just in time" "Mr RahuI, everything except a human-being, has a value" "As soon as one's dead, the body's of no use" "Estates and properties, wealth and jewellery... they all get left behind" "But these are the things man keeps hankering after all his life!" "Sir, this is the jewellery we found on the body" "We need his signature on this, sir" "Inspector, when can I take away Pooja's body?" "The post-mortem will be over by 8." "You'II get the body by 10" "rahul, I think you ought to stay with me" "You'II keep missing Pooja here." " I'm going to miss her all my Iife" "Go home." "Thanks." " Take care, man" ""Make my Iife even more beautiful, Lord..."" ""let my beauty blossom even more"" ""Make my Iife even more beautiful, Lord..."" ""To behold your handsome visage..."" ""grant me a thousand eyes, Lord"" ""Let my beauty blossom even more, Lord"" ""Your world has attracted the evil eye..."" ""rid it of all evil, Lord"" ""Let my beauty blossom even more, Lord"" ""Make my Iife even more beautiful, Lord"" "So honey, what next...?" " RahuI, I have something to tell you" "You can." "In the life ahead, Pooja." " I have a past, RahuI" "And I have a future." " RahuI, please!" "I want to tell you everything about my past... and only then step into the future" "AII right." "Go on" "rahul, I have a past" "I was in love with someone" "Were you, or are you still?" " I was, RahuI!" "I have nothing to do with him anymore." " Then it's okay, Pooja" "I'm not interested in your past." "It's your future." "And your present" "I will give you so much of love, you'II forget yourself... not just your past." "Know something, Pooja?" "till today, my reputation was only my worry" "But henceforth, it'II all be in your hands" "Because a family is respected for the lady of the house" "Thank you, RahuI." "My life is now yours" "And I promise you, I'II never give you a cause for complaint" "I know that." " I Iove you" "Good morning, honey." " Good morning" "Is it seven already?" " No." "It's four hours after seven" "I have so much to do!" " You have nothing to do" "It's I who's got to do everything." " What do you mean?" "close your eyes" "I knew it!" "Leave me alone!" "I got to take a bath, naughty!" "Sweetheart... may I go with you?" " Why?" "You'II get bored." "Care for company?" " RascaI!" "Lay off!" "Got you !" "What a fragrance, love!" "You look so sexy!" "You're such a one-track mind, RahuI." " That's the best track, RahuI" "Let me go." "I'm feeling so guilty as it is" "I was told that after my marriage, I must get up at 7 every morning... take a bath, wake up my husband after I've made some tea... prepare breakfast for him while he's having a bath and..." "But the breakfast is ready, honey." " What?" "really?" "C'mon !" "Breakfast!" "rahul!" "Who made all this?" " I did" "You did...?" " Yes, with my own hands" "What...?" " What's so surprising?" "If a wife can work in the kitchen, why not the husband?" "Start eating first, the thanksgiving can come later" "What's up, honey?" "You've got emotional after tasting what I made!" "Is it good?" " Exquisite, RahuI!" "really...?" "Then have some more" "No, I won't be able to take anymore happiness, RahuI" "Is it really so good?" "Feed me some then" "Have a sip of this, RahuI!" "terribly spicy, isn't it?" "Why didn't you tell me?" " You made it with so much of love" "WouIdn't it break your heart if I told you?" "You're my Iife itself." " I Iove you" "Your wallet, keys and briefcase" "I'm forgetting something surely." " What?" "I gave you everything" "I wouldn't have forgotten, if I knew" "Oh, I remember." "The most important part!" "You rascal... get going!" "How my Iife has changed, honey" "earlier I didn't like to come home from the office" "And now I don't feel like going to the office at all" "What's come over me...?" "May I take the day off today?" "No..." " please" "Go on..." "Go!" "Bye, love!" "Happy birthday, honey!" "Happy birthday to you !" "Happy birthday to you" "What's all this, RahuI?" " Happy birthday to you, honey" "Who's the car for, RahuI?" " For the woman next door" "tell me the truth !" " Honey, it's your birthday today" "This is for you !" " Wow!" "Thank you, RahuI!" "I Iove you" ""Your top's sexy..."" ""your scarf's sexy"" ""What say, beautiful one!"" ""Your face is sexy"" ""Your smile is sexy"" ""Sexy, sexy..."" ""My eyes dream lovely dreams, they dream of you..."" ""with you, I've got to live"" ""Your love is my most prized possession"" ""AII my love is only for you..."" ""you mean the life to me, you are what I'm all about, I say to you"" ""I find your eyes sexy"" ""I find your words sexy"" ""For you, I dreamt of a bed of roses..."" ""for you is all my beauty"" ""How am I to tell you that I can't live without you"" ""For you, I breathe." "For you, I Iive"" ""You're the one I sought from God." "To you, I'II give all I have"" ""I find your gait sexy"" ""I find your top sexy"" ""I find your scarf sexy"" ""I find your eyes sexy"" "Been ages since I'm teaching you to drive... steady the wheel!" "Teach me with patience, I'II learn gradually" "AII right, do it your way" "There, RahuI...?" "Isn't it right?" "Mrs RahuI..." " Doctor, how's my husband?" "I'm sorry." "The retina in your husband's eyes are badly damaged" "I'm afraid, he might not be able to see all his life" "I'm so sorry, RahuI!" "It happened because of me..." "No, love." "It's not your mistake at all" "It's part of my destiny" "I'II now see the world through your eyes... because your eyes aren't yours anymore." "They're mine" "Promise me... that you'II never let my eyes ever shed tears" "I promise, RahuI." "I Iove you..." "I Iove you so much" "I checked there..." " Go on inside." "I'II inform the CMO" "How on earth did this happen?" " We'II have to face the music!" "But we were very much on guard!" "Now what are we to do?" " The Officer has arrived!" "Everything's gone haywire, sir." "We don't know how..." "Not even the doctors know how all this happened" "Inspector, we're here to collect Pooja's dead body" "One moment" "Inspector, I know you're doing your duty." "But we..." "He has left, RahuI" "Take me to him immediately." "I'II personally request him." "Come on" "I can't figure this out, RahuI." "I wonder why there's so much of a fuss" "Box number 13, sir." "This is the one which contained Pooja's body" "When it was opened for post-mortem, the body had vanished" "How's that possible?" "Why're they taking so much of time, Karan?" "What's up?" "No idea, RahuI." "But the doctor seems to be having a word with him" "You don't know the outcome, doctor!" "The whole police department's image.." "will be tarnished!" " Our jobs are also on the line, sir" "Something's surely wrong, RahuI." " Wrong?" "What's wrong?" "Were all the guys here asleep?" "So give me a reason..." "Inspector... what's the matter?" " well, your..." "Why don't you speak?" "What is it?" " Someone has whisked away... your wife's body even before the post-mortem" "What rubbish !" "How's that possible?" " relax, Mr RahuI... relax" "relax?" "The body of a man's wife goes missing and you ask him to relax?" "What's your department been doing?" "Forget those that are living... you can't even guard the dead!" "This is nonsense!" "absolute nonsense!" "Inspector, I always had a feeling that Pooja could never commit suicide" "There was no reason too!" "We were leading a happy life together" "I'm now convinced!" "This is not a case of suicide." "It's murder!" "You're right, Mr RahuI." "After committing the murder... the killer tried to present it as a suicide case." "He must've thought... that the post-mortem report would reveal everything." "Hence, the theft" "Whoever Pooja's murderer is, I'II surely have him punished" "Not to worry, Mr RahuI." "It now has to do with the police's reputation" "We'II find the killer." "And also Pooja's body" "Good morning, sir." " How many years have you been here?" "5 years." " Five" "How many days before Pooja's murder did you leave for the village?" "Four days, sir." " Why?" "I received a telegram that my mother wasn't keeping well" "How was I to know that this would happen in my absence?" "I wouldn't ever have gone, sir." " Roasted grams?" "No, thank you." " full tummy, I guess" "Give me your address in the village." " Don't suspect him, Inspector" "He's my most loyal servant" "In fact, you could call him this blind man's support" "Mr RahuI, we got to question everyone." "I got to ask you something too" "What do you want to know?" " It has to do with your personal life" "Whatever." "Go ahead and ask" "Did Pooja have any male friends?" " No" "I mean, perhaps someone she must've known before she married you?" "Yes." "Pooja told me the whole truth after our marriage" "She had broken off with someone." " Who was he?" "I don't know." "Neither did I try to find out" "I Ioved Pooja and had her for myself." "In that lay my happiness" "Who else would know about this guy?" " Apart from her, only her father knew" "But he died 3 months ago" "I'II find out, Mr RahuI" "hello, Inspector Khan." "What brings you here?" "Mr Karan, I have to ask you questions." "About RahuI and Pooja" "Sure." "welcome." " How long have you known RahuI?" "About two years now." " Where did you first meet him?" "rahul used to do business with a company I was working for in Europe" "We became friends when he happened to come there and we met" "He asked me to return to India and work with him" "So I came to India and joined him." "Now we're business partners" "You must've attended RahuI's wedding?" " No." "I was in Europe at the time... and rahul's always hasty in everything he does" "So he fell in love and got married instantly" "tell me something." "Was Pooja in love with someone, before their marriage?" "What...?" " Was she having an affair with someone?" "I had never even seen Pooja before their marriage, Inspector" "So how can I tell you about her so-caIIed lover?" "You can't tell me..." "but we can find out" "You're asking me questions as if I were the guilty one!" "What way of question is that?" " No, this is hardly the way... my way is even more dangerous" "When I start working on 'em, I make even the dead sing" "I must leave now." "But let me tell you something... if there is something you know, don't hide it" "Because withholding facts from the Iaw is also an offence... roasted grams?" "No, thanks." " Okay, Mr RahuI" "Karan, what's up?" "You called my house and my office... and now you drag me out of the movie-haII." "Is everything all right?" "Right now, yes." "Not in the future." " I don't understand" "rahul's wife committed suicide." "And someone vanished with the body" "I read it in the newspapers." "What's this all about?" "The police are behaving with me in a manner that suggests I'm the killer!" "They're suspecting me and I'm innocent!" "I told you, I'm innocent." " So why're you getting worked up?" "Look, the cops can harass an innocent man... but they can't have him punished." "Don't worry, I'm with you" "And listen, don't do anything without consulting me, okay?" "Ask your Papa to behave with me, Pooja." " What has he done?" "I called four times last night." "Four times" "And all the four times, he heard my voice and slammed the phone" "Later he just kept the receiver aside." " You're being funny, Karan" "What else will Papa do if you keep calling at 3 in the morning?" "I can phone Pooja any time I want to... my love isn't dictated by watches!" "I'II phone whenever I want to, I'II meet you, whenever I think of you" "I am in love with you !" "And love isn't a time-bound job!" "calm down, Karan." "It's okay." "It's not such a big issue." "relax..." "I'II go and place an order for the food." "Cheer up" "Sorry, ma'am" "It's okay, no problem." " I'm really sorry" "It's all right." " I'm really sorry" "What happened?" "Isn't this the hand you touched my Pooja with?" "But I said sorry to her." " will it do if I hit you... and say sorry to you...?" " But I..." "Sorry!" "Sorry!" "Sorry!" "Sorry!" "Karan !" "Stop it!" "How dare you touch Pooja?" "I'II carve you to pieces!" "How dare you touch Pooja...?" "I'II take you apart!" "Pooja...?" "Sorry, sir." "You're not allowed in this building anymore" "Mr Sharma's orders." " I see" "What are you doing, mister?" "Don't honk so loudly!" "I'II get the sack!" "I beg you, sir!" "Hey boy... stop it!" "Stop making that noise!" "until Pooja comes down, this noise is not stopping" "I'm not going to let you meet Pooja!" " Who're you stop me?" "I...?" "I'm Pooja's father!" " And I'm her lover" "So you want to flex your muscles?" " I'm here to love" "You are the one flexing muscles." " InsoIent!" "You haven't the manners to talk to your elders?" "I'm not insolent." "You are." " Stop it, Karan !" "That's enough !" "Stop creating a scene in the building!" " Sorry, Pooja" "tell your Papa not to be so rude with his future son-in-Iaw" "My future son-in-Iaw?" "You?" "!" " please, Papa... come with me" "Come on, please." " I've come to meet you, Pooja... and you're going away?" " I'II leave Papa home and come back" "Stay right here." " No Pooja!" "I won't let you meet him!" "please come up with me, Papa." "C'mon... please" "Stay right here." "I'II come back." " I simply can't understand, my child!" "Was this the madman you had to fall in love with?" "I'II handle it, Papa." "Don't worry." "Forget him" "Hey watchman... come here" "Didn't you see that...?" "How much she loves me!" "When she comes down, I'II drive with her on the bike... away from the old man's house!" " But I don't think she's coming" "What did you say?" "Stay indoors, Papa." "I'II see him off and return" "please, my child." "Don't encourage that lunatic" "You don't know him, Papa." "He won't leave until he has met me!" "I'II go and make him see reason." "please let me go, Papa" "Pooja!" " worthless chap!" "You even come here, shameless creature?" "Do you want me to call the police?" "Watchman, where has Karan gone?" " He has gone upstairs" "Why didn't you stop him?" " How could I, madam?" "He tied me up and slipped away!" "Are you not going to leave my house?" " I'm not in your house, sir" "I'm standing outside." "Rather you go in" "InsoIent..." " please, sir" "Papa!" "Papa..." "You hit my Papa?" "I hate you, Karan !" "Go away!" "I didn't do anything, I swear!" "He fell on his own, Pooja" "I hate you !" "Go away!" " please..." "What have you done?" " You thought I had hit your father" "And I've punished my hand." "Look." " You're losing blood, Karan... come on inside." "I'II bandage it." " No, I'm not coming" "You come with me." " I'm not leaving my Papa!" "Do you understand?" "Go away now!" "Go to a doctor immediately" "You're worried about me, aren't you?" "But you won't go with me." "That's okay" "Sir, you'II find thousands willing to marry your daughter" "But you will never find someone who loves her as much as I do" "You'II find many who will spend all their money... but not a single one who will shed his blood like me" "And if you do, don't think too much... just get her married to him" "Bad for your health." "What are you thinking about, Karan?" "Love, romance..." "it's such a load of nonsense!" "Didn't you see?" "She didn't come with me last night!" "Don't lose your head, Karan." "If she didn't go with you... it doesn't mean she doesn't love you." " If she loved me... she'd had left her father to go with me... with me!" "Her father's a heart-patient, you know?" " So?" "Won't she get married just because he is a heart patient?" "Is she going to remain a spinster?" "She will indeed get married." "But a girl needs a Iot more than love... to get married." "A nice house, money" "Know what?" "Earn money and buy a house." "Start a business" "Pooja will then happily marry you" "As for her father, he will have no reservations either" "Get it?" ""I'm her love..."" ""and she's my romance"" ""She's not just any other girl." "She means the life to me"" ""In her heart, I must possess her every moment"" ""To that sweetheart, I must say every moment..."" ""that I'm her love and she's my romance"" ""She's not just a girl, she means the life to me"" ""Her fragrance still lingers on my breath..."" ""how her memories torment me"" ""My breath, my heartbeat..." "she's the one I'm obsessed with"" ""When I pine, she gives me succour..."" ""for her alone is the season of love"" ""I'm her sobriety, she's the one who causes my daze"" ""I'm her love and she's my romance..."" ""she's not just a girl." "She means the life to me"" ""Her beautiful face is etched in my eyes..."" ""my memories are all about her"" ""I march on, for she's my goal..."" ""I must have her no matter what"" ""In my heartstrings, hers is the melody..."" ""she's my beloved, she's my sweetheart"" ""I'm her peace, and she's my restlessness"" ""I'm her love, she's my romance..."" ""she's not just a girl, she means the life to me"" "Hey mister... sir..." " Hi" "I'm going to meet Pooja." " But she got married a year ago" "What?" " She doesn't live here anymore" "And Mr Sharma...?" " He died a few months ago" "Oh Karan, I had to lose my eyesight and I did." "well, never mind about me" "tell me about yourself." "Did you meet your Iady-Iove?" "No." " No?" "Why?" "Forget it." " Forget it?" "You worked so hard so you could win over your love... and now you say forget it?" " What else can I do, RahuI?" "What...?" "What's the matter with you, Karan?" "I've been ditched, RahuI" "I didn't stay away for a day more than 2 years" "And she got married a year ago." "She couldn't wait another year for me" "I'm sorry, Karan." " That's okay" "You have really been wronged" "But you mustn't shed tears for such unfaithful girls" "So let me cheer you up and introduce my wife to you" "Sweetheart..." " Coming, RahuI" "She's come even without being called" ""I'm her love..."" ""she's my romance"" ""she's not just a girl, she means the life to me"" "Pooja, this is my friend Karan." "And Karan, this is my sweetheart Pooja" "hello!" "I can't hear a thing!" "Am I also going deaf...?" "where are the two of you?" "Karan, haven't you liked my Pooja?" " No" "No?" " I mean, she's very nice" "Very nice?" "C'mon. feIIer!" "Is that all you can say?" "She's beautiful!" "Why didn't you wait for me, Pooja?" "Why did you deceive me?" "Why...?" "Who is it...?" "hello." " hello, Saxena...?" "This is Karan here." " Karan?" "It's so late in the night." "Is everything okay?" "Someone has planted Pooja's jewellery in my house." "What am I to do?" "I'm a nervous wreck!" "So someone wants to frame you in this case" "Who could it be?" " How would I know?" "But you haven't told anyone about the jewellery, have you?" "No." " So call RahuI and tell him everything" "I tried a couple of times, Saxena." "No one's taking my calls" "In that case, leave the jewellery at RahuI's place... just as someone left it at your door." "I'II handle the rest, okay?" "Are you sure there won't be a problem?" " Do as I say right now" "And do me a favour, please." "Let me sleep in peace, okay?" "hello?" " hello, Mr Karan?" "Yes?" "Who's this?" " I'm calling from the City hospital" "Your friend RahuI has been admitted here" "What happened to him?" " Come immediately." "It's an emergency" "I'm coming over" "We're really from the police, sir." "believe us and give us your statement" "How am I to believe that you are really the police?" "No, after what happened last night, I can't trust anyone" "One moment." "I'II convince him in a moment... hold this" "What are you doing?" " Even cops have to bow sometimes" "There... feel it." "It's a police badge" "We're really the police." " Skip the nonsense!" "hello, Mr RahuI." " Mr Khan !" "So good to hear your voice!" "please tell them." "I'II issue a statement only when Karan arrives" "Sure, sure." " Thank you" "rahul... what happened?" " Come to me, Karan !" "How did you get those bruises?" " Someone attacked me last night!" "Attacked you?" "What for?" " I don't know who got into my house" "We had a scuffle and I don't know how I saved myself from him... and locked myself in the bathroom." " Who was he?" "What a question !" "You know he can't see" "But there was a servant at home." "He must surely have seen him?" "He was asleep at the time, Inspector" "That thug made him inhale a sedative while he was asleep" "As soon as alex came around, he started pounding on the bathroom door" "I opened the door and it was he who brought me to the hospital" "See, Inspector?" "The body disappears from the hospital... and rahul is even attacked." "And you're still deep in slumber?" "C'mon, Karan." "Don't be angry." " Why not?" "What would he have said if something had happened to you?" ""There will be an inquiry." "We're figuring out"" "Figuring out, my foot!" " Figure out, we will, Mr Karan" "I'II find the culprit within 24 hours" "Thank you, Inspector" "hello, Mr Karan." "Mr RahuI, I have good news for you" "You've found Pooja's body?" " We'II find that too" "Didn't I say I'd solve this case within 24 hours, Mr Karan?" "But I've completed the job in 8 hours!" " Wow!" "That's amazing, Mr Khan" "Which means you've got to know..." " Yes, Mr RahuI" "The evidence we have is enough to indicate who attacked you... and who the killer is." " That's good news, man" "Who is it?" " Your friend." "Karan" "Arrest him." " What rubbish is this, Inspector?" "That's impossible, Inspector!" " What nonsense is this?" "You're badly mistaken !" "Karan would never do a thing like this!" "Mr RahuI, the police can't arrest anyone without evidence" "What evidence do you have?" " I'II present the evidence in court" "Bring him along." " This is a lie!" "I'm innocent!" "Let me go..." "You're making a mistake, Inspector!" "My friend Karan's not Iike that!" "Excuse me, where is the pathology lab?" "Can't you see?" " Sorry" "What's that?" "Karan is granted bail." "He is also ordered... to be present at the police station everyday at 7 pm" "rahul, thanks" "Don't alienate me by thanking me" "To be frank, I got to really know you No matter what the courts decide... my heart will favour only the truth" "And I know the truth" "D'you think I know nothing?" "I know that you loved Pooja as much as I did" "only difference is I Ioved her as a husband, and you treated her... as your sister-in-Iaw" "The sad part is we don't know what happened... why Pooja did this, why she left us like this" "Did we fail short in loving her?" "probably..." "Pooja failed to appreciate true love" "rahul, how long have you and Karan known each other?" "Since long" "suddenly he vanished." "Then one fine day I met him in Europe... trying to make money for his beloved" "Can you believe it?" "The girl he wanted to marry, married someone else" "Stupid" "But now, he'II work with me forever" "After having lost my eyesight, I need a friend more than an assistant" "And I'II never find a friend like Karan." "Right, Karan?" "Karan, why don't you speak?" "Why are you so quiet?" "You're right, RahuI." "Karan's silence is too much" "That's why I've brought him here." "He'II go out, divert his mind..." "talking about moods, I got an idea." "hold on" "Look Karan, I know you're silent because of me" "But I'm very happy with RahuI" "Find a decent girl and get married" "I'm sure, you will be happy like me" ""This is my promise..."" ""to you, my love"" ""I swear by your heartbeats..."" ""as long as I breathe..."" ""my love for you will never cease"" ""This is my promise to you..."" ""my love"" ""I swear by your heartbeats...""

" Yes" "What?" " If it's suicide, why did she do it?" "If it is murder, who killed her?" " I'm also searching for answers" "I'II get him punished whoever is responsible." "I promise" "I too promise." "I'II leave no stone unturned to find that person" "Sir, the clothes." " Keep it there" "Sir, the clothes." " Keep it there" "Thanks." " Found some papers and money on them" "Thank you" "Who was it, Karan?" " The Iaunderer." "Brought some clothes" "And..." " And what?" "Some papers and some money he found on your clothes" "Give them to me" "rahul is blind." "What's he got to do with books?" "Let me have it." " Yes" "What's up, Karan?" "You are quiet" "well..." "I wanted to talk to you about business" "Why talk business with me now?" "You are handling everything." "Right?" "Right." "I'm eyeing it too" "What?" " The Vashi project" "If it comes my way, I'II make it big" "What happened?" " Something is stuck on your shoe" "Must be the receipt." " How do you know?" "New shoes." "The price tag comes attached" "possible." " Make sure you don't lose it" "What?" " The Vashi project" "Consider it done" "I must leave now, RahuI." "Got to work on the project" "Bye." " See you later" "Put the books in place, will you?" " Excuse me" "Yes?" " Is this receipt from your shop?" "Yes, it is." "If you want this book, sorry, it's out of stock" "please check again, you might have just one left" "Hang on." "If we have "Crime And Escape", pass it on" "Sir, it's out of stock." " The book's in great demand, sir" "Any special content in it?" " novel ways to commit crimes... and frame someone else" "Karan, here's the blank stamp paper you wanted" "What will you do with it?" " I'II use it to find out... whether RahuI is blind or not." " Write some alphabets on it... to check his eyesight, eh?" " Good morning, sir" "Good morning, Kapoor." " You sent for me, sir?" "Yes." "Here you are" "Go and take RahuI's signatures on these papers" "Sir, these are blank stamp papers." " That's intended, Kapoor" "I suspect RahuI is not blind." "And with those documents... if he signs the blank papers too, then he is really blind" "And if he doesn't, then my suspicion will be confirmed" "Kapoor, more papers here" "You use these, I use those" "Thank you very much, sir" "Is Mr RahuI in?" " Yes." "What for?" "Got to get some documents signed." " AII right." "Go upstairs" "May I come in, sir?" " Come in" "Good morning, sir." "Good afternoon" "Sorry, sir." "Good afternoon" "Sit" "Mr Karan sends this file." "He wants your signature" "How many documents?" " Seven or eight" "Seven?" "Or eight?" " Sir, I didn't..." "Never mind, I'II count" "I won't sign them." " It's extremely urgent, sir" "No matter." "I don't trust anyone but Karan" "Sir, Mr Karan sent these documents." " Then send Karan over" "Sir, he..." " Listen !" "Don't argue with me." "Now please go" "Okay, sir" "He didn't sign the blank papers." "It shows he's not blind, Saxena" "Not to be sentimental." "probably he doesn't trust anyone" "AII right" "I'II prove he's not blind." " How?" "To celebrate my ball, we'II go over to him tonight" "We'II lace his drink with poison" "If he drinks it, it'II be clear that he is blind" "You will get evidence and I'II be satisfied" "Are you crazy?" "If he drinks it by any chance... you'II be charged with murder" "The bottle will only contain a laxative" "You're very smart" "How come the light turned off?" "Maybe because of the air-conditioner?" " Give me the remote, I'II check" "There!" "I got it." "The air-conditioner is putting a load on the meter, sir" "I see." "It's very hot here, find an electrician" "Rightaway, sir" "Hi RahuI." " Hey Karan !" "What a nice surprise" "What brings you here?" " I wanted you to meet my lawyer" "Saxena's arguments earned me baiI" "else, the one who tried to frame me had almost won" "Mr Saxena..." " Over here, sir" "Thank you very much." "please sit." " Thank you, sir" "I promised to give Saxena a treat, which would be incomplete without you" "So we thought we'd celebrate here." " That's so sweet of you, Karan." "So Mr Saxena, what will you have?" "My bar has it all" "Rum?" " Rum is awesome!" "Sorry Karan." "alex is away" "help yourself, you know the place." "please make yourselves at home" "No problem" "careful, Saxena" "Don't mind, Karan." "I'II give you company but I won't drink" "Why not?" " I'm not in the mood" "Amazing." "I got bail only today" "Won't you drink to your friend's joy?" "In that case, I'd even take poison from a friend" "Mr Saxena, why did you stand up?" "How did you know?" " The sofa creaked" "Karan, I'm blind, not deaf." " Amazing" "C'mon guys, make that drink" "Poured it?" "What?" " Soda" "Oh yes" "One minute..." " Hey, where to...?" "Aren't you guys feeling hot?" "I'II turn on the air-conditioner" "relax." "allow me." " Karan, you're such a sweetheart" "Mr Saxena, that's a real friend." " Good friend, indeed" "What happened?" " What's wrong with the lights?" "The air-conditioner must be loading the meter." "Switch it off" "Okay guys!" "Karan, lawyer..." "where are you?" "C'mon guys, where are you?" "Cheers" "C'mon, bottoms up!" "Karan, why did you pour your drink out?" "How come you found out?" " Look, Karan... when you pour drink in a glass, it makes a sound" "Likewise, it also rustIes up the leaves" "Very impressive." "But I drank it" "I see." "I think my ears are working overtime of late" "What about you, lawyer?" " I'm drinking it... sure" "Okay, super!" "One more?" "The sofa creaked again?" " No, it's something else" "shall I make another...?" " No, I got an urgent work." "I'II leave" "Mr Saxena, I won't let you go like this" "That client is troublesome." "Here I go" "Looks like my Rum was too powerful." " probably" "Anyway RahuI, it's too late." "I must leave" "Karan, you didn't enjoy" "Never mind." "I'II enjoy it next time" "That's the spirit." "I Iike it." " And I Iike yours, RahuI" "Good luck" "Karan, that lawyer friend of yours..." "what's his name?" "Is he all right?" "Yes, RahuI?" " Don't make me depend on you" "Or I wouldn't even take a step without you" "Go now, I'II go on my own." " How will you, buddy?" "Where's the beach?" " Just to your left" "Perfect." "I'II take a right and reach my backyard" "Sure?" "millions of blind men live in this world" "They walk the streets, travel on buses and do their jobs... all by themselves" "This walking stick is my partner for life now" "Let me practice." "Okay, wish me luck." " Take care." "Bye" "This friendship... we shall never... break!" "Not to jostle him, I paid you money to bash him up" "Have patience, sir." "The game has just began" "Thrash him!" "Don't spare him" "Have I harmed you, guys?" "Give me back my stick" "please forgive me if I've wronged you" "Hit him!" "You guys have me surrounded, no?" "You must be thinking that I am pretending to be a blind man, right?" "One second..." "I'II dispel your misconception" "Come on !" "Okay!" "Brother... your jacket" "Your stick." " Very good" "Your glasses" "bloody slaves!" "D'you believe now that I'm blind?" "Yes sir, you're really blind!" "Good." "Boys, that concludes today's exercise." "Go home now" "My companion is no more a friend" "His love is no more real" "Sir, balance payment?" " Damn you !" "Hi inspector!" " I was going to get you" "What kept you so long?" " I had been to the MahaIaxmi temple" "temple?" "What explains the sand on your sneakers?" "Must have picked it up on the beach" "Amazing." "You'd rather suspect me than do something worthwhile, sir!" "I intend to help you out but you're right after me" "And RahuI?" "Why is he not being grilled?" "He lost his wife and his eyesight, and you want me to suspect him?" "He's pretending to be blind, sir!" "He's pulling wool over your eyes" "He's trying to frame me." " I'm not sure about that" "But you can't con me without proof" "Proof?" "Don't worry, inspector" "You will get it" "Karan, we're here." "Now how will you prove that RahuI is not blind?" "D'you see these vases?" "pull them down a little." "If RahuI is really blind, he'II ram into them" "If not, he'II avoid them." "And you will get your proof" "Good idea" "pull them down a bit." " Yes, sir" "Quick" "They are coming." "Let's hide" "Let's go out for a drink." " If you insist" "Don't worry, I got it" "Are you all right?" " Who pulled the vases down?" "Is this a joke?" "I'II break them all!" "Are they fooling with a blind man?" "bloody idiots!" "Any more left?" " No." "AII martyred." "relax" "My stick, please..." " Right" "Let me apply some ice" "You wanted my head broken, right?" "You tricked me into suspecting a decent man" "I'II lock you up if you grumble about RahuI again." "You dig?" "It's you, sir." " Where to?" "Just bought some vegetables." " Get in, I'II drop you" "alex, you never married?" "It's all destiny, sir" "If you do a job for me, I'II pay you enough... to get married and set up a business" "That's jackpot for me!" "What's the job?" "I'II tell you when we reach home." " Let's go" "Mr Karan, before I get stoned... tell me about the job" "It's a simple job, alex" "You just have to find out if RahuI is really blind or not" "No big deal." "I can tell you right now." " What?" "He isn't blind" "Are you saying the truth?" " Sir..." "I'm by his side around the clock" "I've seen him reading a novel" "Very good." "alex, you've done me a great favour" "Can you say that in court?" " For money, Iet alone the court..." "I'II even scream on the roads." "You name the place" "Here's 200,000." "You'II get the rest later" "Thank you, sir." "Rest assured" "rahul is not blind!" "I'II say that in public" "hello?" "Inspector Khan speaking" "Mr Khan, you're hunting for Priya Verma's corpse, right?" "Someone has cremated it behind the fort at Madh" "Who are you?" "Where are you calling from?" "hello?" "hello?" "What about the sand on your sneakers?" " Must've picked it up on the beach" "Looks like a flat tyre" "Now what?" "careful, RahuI." " Karan... why have you got me on the railways tracks?" "rahul, it'II take a Iong time by road." "Our plot is nearby" "We'II reach within 5 minutes if we walk on the tracks" "That's a good idea" "That's the sound of a train, Karan !" " It's on the other track" "Besides, if it is on this track, you can trust me" "I'm really fortunate to have a friend like you." "You take good care of me" "I don't take care of anyone" "But for the thing that you have done to me, and that you're still doing..." "I can't ever forget" "What have I done, Karan?" "Nothing yet" "But I wish to do something unforgettable to you" "Why did you throw away the stick?" "When I have a friend like you, what good is a false support?" "What happened?" "Bunty, my child!" "Thank you, sir." "The poor thing is deaf" "You saved my Bunty's life!" " It's all right" "See RahuI?" "Today I found out that you aren't blind" "Swine!" "You killed your wife, and you're trying to frame me" "No RahuI!" "Don't" "Fantastic, my boy!" "You're the one who killed Pooja" "You're the one who made it appear like a suicide" "And then you pretend to be blind and try to frame me...?" "Why?" "What for?" "Why did you do it, RahuI?" "You're yourself responsible for that." " Me?" "Yes." "Remember that day...?" "When we were leaving for Singapore?" "Karan...?" "You're okay?" "What happened?" "The appendicitis is showing up again." " Go and see a doctor immediately" "No, Iet's go and check in first." " Not at all, Karan" "You're not travelling in this condition." " But how will you...?" "I'II make it, Karan." "Don't worry" "I hadn't gone to Singapore for a business meeting..." "I went there for the treatment of my eyes" "I had already met the eye-speciaIist based in Singapore" "He had given me the hope that my eyesight would be restored" "It was my wish, that when my eyesight was restored..." "I wished to see my friend first" "Thank you, doctor." "I can see again" "I wanted to give Pooja a surprise" "But when I returned..." "I Iove you, I Iove you !" "You don't know how happy I am!" "I knew you love me... me alone!" "You took Pooja's life because you saw us together?" "And framed me for the murder?" "That's all right." "No problem!" "Now admit it in your own words that it's you who killed Pooja!" "else, I'II blow your brains out with this bullet!" "Speak." " What?" ""I've killed Pooja!" "I'm her killer." "I'm the one who murdered Pooja!"" ""I'm the one who ought to be punished... no one else!"" ""I'm the one who killed Pooja." "I'm her murderer"" ""I'm the one who ought to be punished... no one else"" "Thank you, RahuI." "Thank you" "Check it out first before you thank me" "ImbeciIe!" "If you hold the gun, I hold the remote" "I'm going to kill you, RahuI!" "I'm going to kill you !" "Don't shoot me here..." "shoot me here" "Who is it...?" "Who?" " Inspector Khan" "Inspector!" "I'm glad you're here!" "This man wants to kill me" "He's lying, Inspector!" "I thought he was my best friend." "But he turns out to be my enemy!" "He first killed my wife." "He now wants to kill me" "It's a drama!" "A bloody farce!" "Don't let him fool you, Inspector!" "He's pretending to be blind for a year now... a whole year!" "He's the one who killed Pooja." "Not I" "Shut up!" " Inspector... if you can't believe me, I have his confession recorded on tape" "You can listen to it." " He's trying to frame me, Inspector!" "quietly come with me." "Or I'II give you a thrashing" "please, Inspector!" "Don't fall for his words... skip the nonsense!" " I'm innocent!" "Your Honour, Karan has given the sacred relationship of friendship a bad name" "He has killed his friend's wife!" "It's a lie, Mr Judge!" " It's the truth, Mr Karan !" "tell me, didn't you know Pooja right from her college days?" "Did you, or didn't you?" "Answer me!" "Yes, I did." " And you were in love with Pooja too!" "You loved her... did you or didn't you love her?" "Answer me" "Yes, I Ioved her." "I Ioved her very much" "What's also true is that I didn't kill her!" "It's this man's conspiracy to have me implicated!" "I'm innocent, Mr Judge!" "Innocent!" " Innocent indeed!" "Your Honour, had the police reached the site even five minutes later... this man would've killed RahuI, who can't even see anything!" "The police arrested him at the scene of the crime with a revolver... and a taped confession." "Exhibit, please" "This man is not blind, Your Honour!" "please believe me!" "blindness is just a pretense meant only to frame me!" "How can you prove that RahuI is not blind?" "Your Honour, I seek permission to produce witnesses in court... who will prove that Mr RahuI is not blind" "Permission granted" "I first wish to produce Mr Gangadin whose son's life was saved by Mr RahuI" "Gangadin... present yourself" "Gangadin, tell the court who saved your son's life" "This angel did." " Thank you." "You may leave now" "Sir, I now wish to summon Mr RahuI to the witness box" "Permission granted." " Mr RahuI... present yourself" "Mr Lawyer..." " Right here, Mr RahuI" "careful..." " I'm okay" "Oh God!" "So how are you?" " Who?" "Mr Saxena?" "Yes." " How's your tummy now?" "Okay." " That's good" "As you see, Mr RahuI..." " I'm listening, lawyer" "I mean, as you see the case..." " Your Honour... the lawyer's repeatedly saying "You see" to poke fun at a blind man... although he knows that I can't see, I can only hear" "Mr Saxena, you are a lawyer" "You ought to know that it's inhuman to poke fun at a handicapped man... it's also deplorable." " Beg your pardon, Your Honour" "Now listen Mr RahuI and tell us how you saved Gangadin's son's life?" "How did you get to know that the child was playing on the tracks... and that he'd get run over by the speeding train?" "Your Honour, Karan and I were headed toward my factory site on that day" "I didn't know what was brewing in my friend's mind" "He made up an excuse that the car had broken down... and insisted that if we just crossed the railway tracks... we'd reach the factory in 5 minutes" "I was walking on the track when I heard a train approaching behind me" "When I asked, Karan told me that the train was running on a second track" "And as it got closer, he flung me before the speeding train" "I bumped into the child and rolled off, far off the track with the child" "The father of the child therefore thought I had saved the child from death" "Whereas the fact is, it was the child who saved my Iife" "And our lives were saved by God himself" "That's a total lie, Judge!" "Nothing of the sort happened!" "He's fooling everyone and secretly having a laugh !" "He's fabricating the whole thing!" "For once in your life, RahuI Verma!" "Give us the god-damned truth !" " Order, order!" "Oh yes, you can call things to order!" "But no one's going to listen to me!" "Superb!" "Mr Saxena, you may proceed." " No, no, sir." "No more questions" "Mr RahuI, you may go now." " Thank you" "I now wish to present in court a witness who will help us distinguish... between truth and falsehood." "It's a man who's been closest and loyal to RahuI... after his wife." "I seek permission to produce RahuI's servant, alex" "Mr alex, present yourself" "Mr alex, tell the court whether you ever saw Mr RahuI reading a book" "Yes, I did" "When?" " Before he lost his eyesight" "I'm talking about the times when he had not lost his eyesight" "Looks like you're losing your marbles, Mr Lawyer" "When a man can't even see a book, how can he read one?" "alex!" "Don't tell lies!" "Mr Judge, he's the one who told me that his master read books!" "Your Honour, I don't wish to lie in court" "This man took me to his house, gave me a Iot of liquor to drink... and promised to give me half a million rupees... if I said in court that my master is not blind" "Here you are, Your Honour." "He gave me an advance of 200,000 !" "Take it..." "Go on" "I wouldn't betray my God-Iike employer for even 50 million... what's half a million?" "If I couId help it, I'd give my eyes to my master, Mr Judge" "This man is an unscrupulous a liar!" "He asked me to tell lies!" "He has even killed my Mistress!" "Hang him, Mr Judge!" "Just send him to the gallows!" "Order, order!" "You may leave now" "Anymore questions?" " You may go" "Having heard the arguments and the testimonies of the witnesses..." "One minute, Your Honour." "It has to do with the life of an innocent man !" "Witness might lie, but medical reports can't be fabricated" "I request the court to have Mr RahuI's eyes medically checked... and deliver a verdict only after the reports are submitted" "The court is adjourned" "The next hearing will be held on the 21st of this very month" "meanwhile, Mr RahuI's eyes may be examined in a government hospital... and a report be submitted to the court" "The court is adjourned for the day" ""files away..."" ""my heart files away with you, it soars like a bird"" ""I find peace nowhere"" ""Crazy..." "I'm crazy about you"" ""My love..." "I'm the one you have targetted"" ""It's your stories that I see"" ""In your arms, I have always to be"" ""Your aura, your charm, it's the magic you wield..."" ""you are the only one I dream of, think of"" ""files away..."" ""my crazy heart soars with you, Iike a bird"" ""I find peace nowhere"" "Your Honour, this is the eye-surgeon's report on the status of rahul's eyes" "Thank you, Your Honour" "In view of the medical report on Mr RahuI Verma's eyesight... and also the testimonies of the witnesses... the court concludes that Mr Verma is indeed visually impaired" "Therefore, he is innocent" "By killing his wife's friend and thereafter falsely accusing his friend..." "Mr Karan has tried to give this case a new twist" "The court therefore finds Karan guilty... and under the Indian penal Code, sentences him to Life Imprisonment" "No, Mr Judge... you can't do this!" "This is impossible!" "It's his doing!" "He has bought out the doctors!" "Come here, you fraud!" "You're deceiving everyone!" "You have me framed...?" "He's a fraud!" "believe me, Mr Judge!" "He's not blind." "He's not!" "He's only deceiving everyone!" "Karan, your friend RahuI wants to see you" "constable, come here" "What is it?" "BretIink." "Latest." "Worth 100,000" "What's the job?" "hello, Karan." "How're you doing?" "Amazing." "Of all the scoundrels I have seen, there's none like you" "You get me a lifer, and you ask how I'm doing?" "Who else will ask if not a friend?" " Friend?" "As a friend, tell me, are you sure I killed Pooja?" "I know you didn't kill Pooja." " Then why did you get me sentenced?" "tell me!" "I'II tell you" "When I saw you in Pooja's arms... my mind, my heart, my blood froze" "I didn't know what to do" "And then, Pooja came to me" "You've been looking lost ever since you returned" "What is it, RahuI?" " Just nothing" "Had you phoned, I'd have come to receive you at the airport" "Had I phoned, the facts wouldn't have come to light" "What's on your mind, RahuI?" " It's quite late, Pooja" "Go to bed" "At least eat something." " I ate on the flight." "I'm not hungry" "Won't you talk to me?" " It's quite late, Pooja" "It's 1 :45 am." "Go to bed" "rahul, how did you see the time?" "Yes, I can see." "My eyesight is restored" "I wanted to give you a surprise." " But RahuI..." "We'II talk in the morning." "Go to sleep" "rahul saw me in Karan's arms!" "rahul saw me in Karan's arms!" "My honour was in my hands till now." "Now it's in yours" "Because, the wife is the honour of a family" "rahul has seen me in Karan's arms!" "I'II never give you a chance to complain." "I promise" "rahul saw me in Karan's arms!" "Oh my God!" "No" "No, no!" "help, help" "Somebody help me!" " What have you done, lady?" "Oh my God!" "Pooja!" ""RahuI, I'm leaving you alone"" ""I thought I'd love you and keep you happy forever..."" ""but I failed"" ""I'm glad that your eyesight has been restored"" ""But the sad part is you saw me in someone else's arms"" ""Karan is my past." "I never told you"" ""Before marriage, I got over him completely, RahuI"" ""When I saw him with you again, I thought he must've changed"" ""How was I to know that he'd pretend to be your friend and invade my Iife?"" ""After you left for Singapore, alex too went on leave"" ""That night I was alone at home"" "You?" "You were supposed to go to Singapore with RahuI" "I did go." "But on reaching the airport I feigned appendix problems" "In fact my heart was hurting, Pooja" "Your silence has hurt me no end, Pooja" "Why did you ditch me?" "You said, you'II wait for me" "Then why did you marry RahuI?" " I wanted to break up with you" "I never knew when your highhandedness turned my love into hatred" "At Papa's insistence I married RahuI" "And now, it's only RahuI." "He's my world" "And you are my world, Pooja." " Even the thought of it is a sin !" "I'm someone's wife!" " Wrong!" "Absurd!" "You're my beloved first!" "I thought you must've changed, Karan." " I tried hard to change" "But the love for you in my heart, I couId never change" "Why such a great betrayal, Pooja?" "Look Karan, it's no good discussing." "You must get over me" "You must get over RahuI and this wedding!" "You've gone insane, Karan !" " Yes, I've gone insane" "Your love has driven me insane, Pooja" "Get out of here!" "I hate you !" "Get out from here!" "I hate you, Karan !" "Pooja, I Iove you !" "How dare you enter my bedroom?" "What do you think?" "It's tough on a lover like me" "Look Karan, only RahuI can enter this room, no one else" "Oh I forgot." "It's the room where you and rahul sleep" "You have no idea, Pooja." "When he touches you, when he embraces you..." "loves you and calls you sweetheart, it kills me!" "I feel like setting this room on fire!" "I'II set this room ablaze!" "What the hell do you want?" " You" ""Karan insisted on marrying me"" "I won't leave you now." " "I didn't know what to do"" ""Then I got an idea to ward him off;" "Concur to whatever he said"" "Look Karan, such decisions aren't taken overnight" "Give me time to think." "But please leave for now" "No Pooja, no!" "I'm not going anywhere without you" "Just get this." "I lost you once." "I can't lose you again." "please!" "Pooja, sit down and think." "Think it over" "I'II just sit there and watch you" "I'II just watch you" ""Like a madman, Karan sat there before me all night"" ""The moment he dozed off, I got up to phone you"" "You're calling RahuI!" "Just listen to this, Pooja" "should you disclose anything to RahuI... he has already lost his eyesight... he will lose his life too" "I'm sorry, Pooja, but that's for real" ""His words hit me." "I was worried for your life"" ""Because I knew Karan too well." "He is wild when he gets violent"" ""So I decided to put on an act before him until you returned"" "Hi sweetheart" "Gosh !" "You aren't ready as yet?" "Hurry up... we have to go to the court." "Got to sign the divorce documents" "You want these documents signed, don't you?" "Let me have them" "Look Karan, we're not telling RahuI anything now" "I don't know how the poor chap will take it" "At the first chance, I'II reveal everything to him... and get the documents signed, so that we can get married" "Pooja, I Iove you !" "I Iove you !" "I Iove you !" "I Iove you !" ""RahuI, forgive me, I'm leaving you"" ""I'm happy that your eyesight has been restored"" ""But those very eyes saw me in Karan's arms"" ""I was helpless, RahuI." "My suicide is a testimony to that"" ""Forgive me." "I pray to God..."" ""I want to be your wife in all the lifetimes to come"" ""Because I Iove you, and only you, RahuI"" "I promise you, Pooja" "You killed yourself because of Karan" "I will get him punished before the world for killing you" "You know, Karan..." "I'd have killed you if I wanted, to take my revenge" "But no" "It wouldn't put Pooja's soul to rest nor would it give me peace" "Yes, the Law sees this murder as suicide" "But to my eyes, it's not suicide but murder" "Murder!" "And you are the killer" "That is why, to punish you for your crime..." "I got Pooja's dead body out of the hospital with alex's help" "That night, it was I who planted Pooja's jewellery in your apartment" "Remember the day you took alex home" "When you went to get the money, alex put your shoes in his bag" "After cremating Pooja..." "I Ieft your shoe at the beach" "Know why I did all that?" "Because, the day Pooja killed herself..." "I had decided to get you punished before the world, for killing Pooja" "And look..." "I've got you punished" "Now you get the picture?" "really RahuI, it was indeed a very beautiful plot to implicate me" "But what's the outcome?" "I got you trapped" "I've taped all that you ranted" "Now you come in, I go out!" "constable, hurry up here!" "I have evidence against RahuI Verma" "This case can be reopened!" "You stupid-stupid boy" "You always act in haste" "You must sometimes use your mind like I do" "If you can offer the constable a watch worth 100,000 to get a tape..." "I can pay him 200,000 to get the batteries removed" "You fraud!" "bloody blind bat!" "Coward!" "Come in and face me!" "I'II fix you good" "That's good, Karan." "That's very good" "More, please." "I came here just to hear that... your agony" "You will suffer for the rest of your life..." "like Pooja suffered at her deathbed" "Where are you going?" "Stay there!" "Time's over for you" "And my promise stands fulfilled" "Goodbye, Karan." " Where are you going, RahuI?" "Have a good life." " You're leaving me alone?" "Are you leaving your friend alone?" "Don't leave me alone" "rahul, don't leave me here!" "please!"
