" Sure" "I'm fasting today." " Today I made tea for fasting people" "You'll like it" "I asked for tea, and you give me hooch first thing in the morning!" "This container is faulty." "It gives out both hooch and tea" "The customer asks for tea, it gives out hooch" "When he refuses it, I have to drink it up" "This business will soon ruin me" "Don't worry, I'll make you rich soon" "Will Rukhminibai agree?" " She will, she will" "She has gone to sell fish now" "I'll get prawns for you tomorrow, Koili" "You'll eat with me then."

"You know that I love Rukhminibai dearly" "Me too." "Her father wants both of us to marry her" "You guys have had it" "Please do something for me, Ramu" "My heart's punctured, and I haven't earned a penny since four days" "I can't solve the complexities of your heart, friend" "But for the sake of our friendship, I can at least give you business" "Brother Ramu!" " Come on" "Brother Ramu, for the sake of our friendship, won't you help me?" "Find Dhondu and serve him liquor." "You'll both be happy" "Can't serve him when I'm drunk myself" "Ramu, here are the nails." "What will you do with them?" "To floor an unwary person, one uses a banana peel" "Likewise, to flatten a car tyre, one uses nails" "What a brilliant idea, boss" "I know that lady." "Wrong number" "Boss, you dialled the right number." "The rear tyre is flat." "Come with me" "No, you go" "Now what?" "We don't know how to fix the tyre" "What happened?" "Flat tyre?" " Beats me." "The tyres are new" "Look... someone has littered nails around" "Looks like it was done deliberately." " That's what even I think" "But don't worry." "That's my garage." "I'll fix it right away" "How long will it take?" " The front and rear tyres are flat lt'll take at least two hours." " Two hours?" "Right." " We're getting late" "Can you fix the car and deliver it?" " Well..." "Why not?" "I will" "Here's the address and some money It's the judge's car" "If something goes wrong..." " Don't you worry, lady" "Let's go" "Ramu, you've got me in a mess." "I can't drive, you know that" "But I can drive." "Just fix the tyres." "Here's your money" "And the lady?" "I mean, her car?" "Whose car it is?" " The judge's daughter's" "What?" " Of course" "Shankar dada" "What is it, Ramu?" " Tell me if there's stuff to deliver" "I got the judge's car." " That's like it, tiger" "I have news that there's checking ahead at the checkpost" "Get the stuff in the judge's car, no one will suspect" "Right away." " Where are you getting stuff from?" "And whose car did you steal?" " Ma, your son is not a coward... to steal someone's car." "Right, dada?" " Then whose car is it?" "The judge's daughter is my friend." "She told me to take a ride in her car" "The judge's daughter is your friend, eh?" "We're thick friends." "She said if the tobacconist troubles me... she'll have her jailed for 7 years, to rot" "Damn her!" "I'll drag her by the hair" "He was only teasing you." "Were he destined to marry a judge's daughter, would God have sent him to my house?" "Come on" "Hi Keshav dada." "Get the stuff, quick" "I thought it'd be impossible today." "But what a car you've got!" "It's the judge's car." "Get the stuff" "Hey" "Hurry up, Keshav" "Who brought my car here?" " I did" "It's you!" "Greetings." " How did it come here?" "Actually, the repair guy doesn't know how to drive" "So I thought as I serve the country I'd also serve the people" "But your car didn't help" "What happened?" " It started stalling on the way" "I saw this garage and asked this man to fix the car" "But he knows only to fix Indian cars, he has no idea about imported stuff" "Is the car fixed nor not?" " Amazing, lady" "She's not worried about her car, and you are getting worked up." "You are?" "She's my friend." "Hema" "Very somber name, sister." " Let's go, Mala" "Your name is Mala?" " Yes" "Lovely name." " Thanks." "The car's fixed, I guess?" "It's perfect." "If it stalls again, blame Ramu for it" "Ramu?" " Yours truly." "Ram Prasad" "People call me Ramu out of love." "You can call me Ram" "Mr Ram Prasad, thanks for fixing the car." "Let's go, Mala" "Thank you." " Thanks" "Smile." "What are you doing?" "Ready, Mala" "Let's have a photo of yours, Mala" "Let me have the camera." "Go on, pose" "Hang on, I'll be right back" "What?" "What is it?" " It's him" "Who?" " That man" "Keshav, get cover." "Hurry" "What brings you here?" "What are you doing here?" " Picnicking with friends" "Let me introduce you to them." " No, thanks" "Are you scared of women?" " Nothing of the sort" "Actually, I got some work." " Work?" "What work are you doing here?" "Thieves and smugglers hide in these ruins" "Liquor business too goes on here." " How do you know?" "I have heard." "Even my friends tell me." "Haven't you heard of it?" "No, I haven't." " If the cops come and arrest you," "I'll have to bail you out lmagine if I'm into that business?" "Stop joking." "I can never imagine that." "Let's go" "Ramu!" "The boat is here." "C'mon" "Do you own that motorboat?" " Yes... no." "I mean..." "I'm into social service." "My friend wants to buy this boat" "So he sent me for a trial." " That's nice." "I'll go with you lt'll be fun." " What are you saying?" "I mean... it's a boat!" "Engine might conk out, accident can happen, the waves are unpredictable, even a storm might hit..." "Sure." "Don't make excuses." "I'm going with you" "What about him then?" " Don't worry about him." "Come on" "Come" "Uncle, she's the judge's daughter, she wants to go on a boat ride" "I'll take a round, you stay right here" "All right." "Be careful, the engine is malfunctioning a bit" "So, where to?" " Wherever you wish" "To those rocks." " Over there?" "Come on" "This place is so desolate." " It is" "Aren't you afraid?" " Not when you are with me" "You trust me so much?" " Don't you believe me?" "I do." "Come on, let's go" "Let's walk around a bit" "Well?" " Well?" "Did you say something?" " Nothing" "I thought you said something" "Did you say something?" " Not at all" "I thought you said something" " You are wicked" "You use my words to poke fun at me." " Nothing of that sort" "God knows why I felt as if we were trying to tell each other something" "I too felt the same" "Strange" "When do we meet again?" " When there's a storm again" "But there isn't a storm today" "Yet I'll wait" "You escaped this time, Ramu" "Get lost" "Why have you come here?" "Hey dove, I don't know why your master is my enemy" "Tell him that only I and you love him truly, no one else" "I ask, why are you here?" " My wish" "Your wish!" " Ramu" "Yes, Ma?" " Are you upstairs?" "Yes, yes..." " Goodness!" "What'll she think watching you and me together at this hour?" "C'mon" "Come here" "Why are you making me climb up?" " Nothing new for you." "Get on" "God!" "The water is freezing" "But you are hot." "Get in" "What are you doing on the tank?" "This dove's been annoying me, Ma" "I'd have eaten, Ma." "Why do you bother?" "I know how you care about me" "Ma, I'll eat." " Back off!" "You reek of booze" "I didn't drink yet, it's last night's" "Ramu, turn a new leaf now" "If you set up a good business, I'll get you married" "If you say, I'll marry, Ma." "But I should get a nice girl" "This colony belongs to the daughters of booze hucksters and tobacconists" "All right, all right." "I know your antics well" "Don't you drink anymore." "Just have food and sleep" "Of course Ma, I'll drink and..." "eat and sleep, Ma" "Ma's gone away." "Come out" "You have to help me come out" "How can I come on my own?" "Well, well!" "A tobacconist shows the attitude of a queen." "C'mon" "Out!" " What did you tell aunt just now?" "This colony belongs to the daughters of booze hucksters and tobacconists" "It's true."

" Not at all" "I wanted you to apply some catechu on me to avoid Rukhmini's gaze" "Will you?" " I will, wait" "Amazing, Koili." "You were well-prepared to do that" "How'd I know you'd fall in between?" " She's right" "What?" " Here... wipe it" "Never mind." "Just make a betel-leaf mix with those delicate hands" "What did you say?" " Betel-leaf mix" "Right." "To the point." " Very well" "Koili, by God, you make good betel-leaf mix" "15 paise" "Mister, to the one who holds my hands, my kicks speak" "Ramu?" "I was on my way to meet you" "Our girls are not like the butterflies that dance in your hotels" "You are taking it seriously, Ramu." "It's my mistake, forgive me" "I got a message from the boss." " I see." "Come on" "Where to?" "Have a betel-leaf mix" "Sure, if you feed me lovingly." " Try that with the judge's daughter" "Here you are." " Attitude, eh" "Catechu?" "Not again!" " Just to protect you from the evil eye" "What says your boss?" " The ex-dancer of the hotel... is flying down with the stuff tonight." "The code is 555" "I'll be back" "Greetings." "Strangely we always meet suddenly" "Are you flying?" " No" "I have come to receive a family friend" "And you?" " I... my brother is arriving" "Coming." " Is she your mother?" "Hemant's mother." " Hemant?" "The one I came to receive" "Who is he, Mala?" " He... is my friend's brother" "Hemant's flight has landed." "Come on" "That's Hemant." "You saw him?" "Ma..." " Bless you, son" "Father..." "How are you?" " I'm fine." "You didn't see Mala?" "Hi, Hemant." " You are here too, Mala?" "Father wanted to come but he had to go to court" "No problem." " Tell him what he said" "He said, "From now on the Judge and the police officer will meet in court"" "That doesn't mean you must wait for his summons or warrants" "Go and meet him in the evening, son." "I'll have your stuff loaded in the car" "Know what, Ma?" "Mala is so busy that she doesn't have the time to write to me" "I had my exams, I really had no time" "Have you come alone?" " What do you mean?" "I thought you'd bring along a white lady" "I'd have brought many along, but I could not forget the doll... who's waiting for me here." " Waiting for you, my foot!" "Lanky" "What did you say?" "Lanky?" "And you are shorty, dwarfish, stubby" "Hear that, Ma-ji?" " Don't start fighting at the airport" "She called me lanky, Ma?" " Was I wrong, Ma-ji?" "Let's go home" "Mr Hemant, this is your first assignment" "An international smuggling gang has been very active of late" "We haven't been unsuccessful, but we want to get to the brains... behind this racket." " You are new, they don't know you" "That's why we've put you on this case" "This girl arrived in Bombay by last night's flight" "Susie?" "Sir, this girl was with me on the flight from Beirut" "We were informed that she was smuggling in diamonds worth millions" "Sadly, the customs guys found nothing on her" "The diamonds must've surely changed hands before the checking" "I think she dropped a cigarette packet while coming down the aircraft" "Any other details about this girl, sir?" " She made a contract for dancing... with Poonam Chand Choudhary, the owner of Fairland Hotel" ""The known and the unknowns, everyone is here!" "He is here,"" ""another is here, that one is here too"" ""I shall meet you again..."" ""with much fanfare"" ""As you see, tonight..."" ""we are distanced"" ""The known and the unknowns, everyone is here!" "He is here,"" ""another is here, that one is here too"" ""My heart knows my friends!" "He is here,"" ""another is here, you are here too"" ""O ignorant one, give it a thought"" ""There are people around"" ""How do I give in to you before everyone?"" ""The known and the unknowns, everyone is here!" "He is here,"" ""another is here, that one is here too"" ""My heart knows my friends!" "He is here,"" ""another is here, you are here too"" "You dance well" "Are you going somewhere?" " Yes, to my hotel." "Hotel International" "Really?" "I'm also staying there." "Can I drop you?" "Driver, no need for the car" "Every year for 3 months you come to Hotel Fairland as a cabaret dancer" "It's my profession." "I have a contract with the hotel" "Since when?" "Since how many years?" " Three years" "Which means you've been into smuggling since three years" "It's a lie." "I didn't do anything" "I don't know." "I don't know anything." "Why are you harassing me?" "We have evidence." "One of your men has been arrested in Beirut" "In his statement, he disclosed your name" "He must be my enemy, he must be trying to frame me" "But we are your friends, we empathize with you" "We don't want to confiscate your passport and send you to jail" "Please have mercy on me." "I know nothing, sir" "I know nothing." "Nothing" "I don't smoke." " What?" "You don't smoke?" "Then why did you throw a 555 cigarette packet while getting off the aircraft?" "What did it contain?" "Who was the porter who picked it up?" "What's his name?" "I'll tell you..." "I'll tell you everything" "But sir, they will kill me" "They will kill me" "The police will protect you and you will leave this country safely" "A person gave me a packet in Beirut and told me... to give it to the person who says "555" on getting off the plane" "And I did it" "Who is he?" " I don't know him." "But..." "I heard, the packet will be delivered at a flat in Worli tomorrow night" "He just escaped" "Who?" "Who is it?" "Don't worry, I won't harm you." "I'll go away soon" "You?" "I saw you at the airport with Mala" "Right." "I saw you too." "But why are you hiding?" "Cops are after me." "I've been hit." " Good Lord" "Where did you get this locket?" " It's mine" "Trust me, it belongs to me." "My mother put it around me when I was a baby" "Ramu..." "Ramu..." "you are Ramu?" "Did my mother tell you my name?" "No son." "I've known you since you were a baby" "Let's split" "Gardener!" "Watchman!" "Did anyone come here?" "It's Hemant." "Come, son" "Wait, I'll dress you up" "Ma" "Ma" "Hide, son" "Ma..." " Yes, son?" "A dangerous criminal gave me the slip." "He came this way." "He must be around" "No son..." "I was praying in the prayer room." "I didn't see anyone" "You didn't?" "Then where did he go?" "Let me see" "Blood?" "Ma, he is here!" "There's blood outside" "Blood?" "It's his blood." " No, it's my blood, son" "Your blood?" " Yes" "I cut my finger when I was slicing fruits" "Oh no." "Did you call the doctor?" "I'll phone..." "No son." "I'll dress the wound." "You have a job to do, go on" "I'll look downstairs" "A police inspector's mother saved my life" "No." "A mother did" "Son, what if the bullet had hit your chest?" "Then all my woes would've ended" "And I wouldn't be indebted to you" "If you think you owe me, then quit doing wrong and turn a new leaf" "Try and earn honestly." "Evil begets evil, son" "No, I can't make that promise" "But I promise to repay this favour some day" "I must ask you something" "You have so much love and sympathy for me... what's the reason, Ma-ji?" "Ma-ji?" "Every boy is a son to a mother" "It doesn't matter if he's a stranger" "Put this coat on and run." "Please run!" "Listen..." "Make sure you see a doctor" "Shobha!" " Coming" "Greetings, son." "It's a surprise, Hemant" "I want to come daily but I don't get time." "Duty is duty" "Both of us are bound by duty." "You nab culprits while I punish them" "Mala is here" "Where were you, Mala?" "You have a guest to look after" "I'll leave now, Hemant." " Bye uncle" "So the inspector finally finds time to come over" "Even you didn't call me." "Ma's been asking about you" "Really?" "I just came home and found out that you were here." "Tell me" "Oh, Hema!" "I had come to meet you" "Hema?" "You are changing my sex" "Is somebody there?" " Yes." "When do we meet?" "Whenever, wherever you wish." " You decide" "All right then, your old picnic spot" "I'll be there" "After the exams, my friends haven't had enough of movies and picnics" "I've also taken the day off." "Let's go out for a cup of tea" "Had you told me earlier, I wouldn't have fixed a meeting with Hema" "Telephone her." " No, there are many girls" "We'll go out some other day" "Mala, I see a change in you" "Before I went abroad, the friendship and love we shared..." "Friendship and love go different ways, and that's how they stay" "Now it's important to know where you are headed" "Towards friendship." " Only friendship?" "What about marriage?" " Not yet decided" "Honestly, I never had that idea about you" "I never thought this friendship would end in marriage" "Did I hurt you?" " I'm happy that you came out clean" "As a friend, can I ask you if you love someone else?" "If I say yes?" "Then congratulations." "Can I know about him?" "What does he do?" "I'll introduce you to him someday." "You'll be glad" "Of course." "I'll take your leave" "You forgot me." " It's impossible for me to forget you" "Then why didn't you meet me?" " Some things kept me away, Mala" "But I missed you every moment." " Liar" "If you don't believe me, listen to my heartbeats." "Know what they say?" "Mala-Mala-Mala..." "Enough." "Ram, I'm so happy today" "I had a burden on my chest and it's rid today" "Burden?" "What burden?" "When you called, Hemant was there." "He took up marriage suddenly" "I see." "Congratulations" "You are impossible." "I told Hemant that I love someone else" "It wasn't the right thing to do." "If you find out that I'm not worthy of you..." "No good now, Ram" ""Those blue eyes strike like arrows in my heart"" ""Strike like arrows"" ""My world was desolate until you came and lived"" ""O princess, now that I have you, I've found everything"" ""Even my lost dreams..."" ""I have found, my love"" ""Those blue eyes strike like arrows in my heart"" ""I have given you a place in my heart, my love"" ""You adorned my eyes with kohl"" ""To your sweet talks, I ruined myself"" ""And the world has suddenly become envious"" ""We shall stay together forever, I promise"" ""I shall even give up my life for you, I have resolved"" ""To your simplicity, I've ruined myself"" ""Those blue eyes strike like arrows in my heart"" "Hey... it's you, Hemant!" "I've been waiting since long" "I was with my friends, picnicking" "With friends?" "Or with him?" "How did you know?" " I saw it myself" "And I regret that the man you love is a criminal" "Hemant!" "Do you know what you are saying about him?" "I know." "I also know that the euphoria of youth... blinds the person in love." "The sounds of his heart make him deaf" "He can neither see nor hear" "You envy Ram, that's why you are saying this" "Mala, take your words back" "What right do you have to accuse someone?" "The law accuses him, and as your friend I have the right" "Police have evidence against Ramu." " No, I don't believe it" "You have to believe the truth." "Here's Ramu's dossier... his photo" "He'll be arrested soon, he'll be jailed" "What will happen to you then, to your love, to your father's honour?" "Did you ever spare a thought?" "But nothing has gone wrong yet" "You can still hold yourself." "Anyway, I have done my job" "You have to decide" "Mala?" "Mala, how come you are here?" "I mean, I can't believe it" "I wish I hadn't believed you and your words" "What harm had I done to you?" "Why did you play with my heart?" "Why did you deceive me?" "I deceived you?" "No Mala, I never deceived you" "I just wanted that you mustn't know the truth" "For which I lied" "And to hide that lie, I lied hundred more times." "I did nothing else, Mala" "Did you never think of changing, if not for you, at least for my sake?" "I tried much to change and become a decent person" "But circumstances and my dear ones, they all became a hurdle" "Ma always wanted me to get educated and become a decent gentleman" "But the strong hands of crime snatched me from her hands... and plunged me into this darkness." "Mala, I'm like an idol... that can break but cannot change its direction" "A man with persistence can break that idol and create a new one" "Is it true, Mala?" "Can I change?" "Can I get a hold on myself?" "Why not?" "A prodigal son always returns" "Will you help me?" "Will you be there for me?" "You won't hate me, will you?" "True love never turns into hatred, Ram" "With my tears I shall wash away all your sins" "And I shall turn your tears into smiles." "I swear... by our mothers... if I can't make myself worthy of you," "I shall never show you my face, Mala" "Ma..." "Ma, give me tea, quick" "How come you are up early today?" " Early to bed early to rise, hearsay" "Give me tea, I got to go to work." "Quick, Ma" "Work?" "What work?" " I have to look for work" ""You never changed, and you even shoved your son into evil deeds..."" ""and destroyed his life" Isn't that what you tell father?" "So from now on your son will work hard and earn honestly... eat humble pie and sleep on your lap, carefree" "Ramu, am I hearing it from your mouth, son?" "Have I ever lied to you, Ma?" "No more booze, gambling, hooliganism, smuggling" "I quit for good." " Son, what changed you suddenly?" "Who has cast a spell on you?" "Just consider that I was eclipsed." "Now it's clear" "Son, I tried really hard to bring you around" "But I failed before him" "Why do you worry, Ma?" "I'll give you this wish" "I shall offer my hard earned earnings at your feet" "Son, stick to your words" "I'm sworn, Ma." "I swore by you, I swore by her..." "I swore myself, Ma." " Lord has changed my Ramu" "Won't I get a cup of tea?" " After I offer something at the temple" "Ramu..." " Coming, father" "Seth Poonam's stuff at the riverbank has to be delivered to his warehouse" "We'll be paid 2000 bucks." "Shake hands, my tiger" "What's the matter, Ramu?" "I've sworn not to do all this from now on" "Are you joking with your father early morning?" "It's the truth, father." "If you can, you must quit it too" "Be a gentleman and let me become one" "Gentleman?" "Who is a gentleman in this world?" "Everyone is a criminal one way or the another" "One who tries to be a gentleman is ruined" "It's your idea" "But I can't give people poison in the name of liquor anymore" "I can't lure people to gamble and fleece them" "I can't show my powers using a dagger anymore" "I can't stand the label of a criminal anymore" "I'd rather die than live off ill-gotten wealth" "You call your father's earnings ill-gotten!" "Not just I, the entire world says so" "The entire world says it, and you too, swine!" "What happened?" "How did you fall, son?" " He won't work for me" "And the freeloader calls my money ill-gotten" "What are you saying?" " Now I understand" "You turned him against me, slut!" "Father, don't you abuse Ma!" "Else..." "Else?" "What will you do?" "What a son shouldn't be doing to his father" "Are you threatening me?" " Stop it!" "Trying to act smart, eh?" "How dare you threaten me?" "Why are you hitting my son?" "Slut!" "You brainwashed him" "I'll hack you to pieces" "Somebody stop this" "Blood?" "Fool!" "How dare you try to kill my husband?" "You have hit your father today..." " What father?" "Whose father?" "What are you saying?" " Get lost" "Everyone in the neighbourhood knows that you picked up someone's sin" "D'you see the true colour of a bastard?" " No, please don't say that" "Get this loud and clear." "If he steps into my house again," "I'll strangle both of you." "Do you hear?" "Don't mind his words, son." "He was raving in drunken stupor" "You are not my mother?" " Son..." "You are not my mother?" "Then who is my mother?" "Who are my parents?" "Where did you pick me up from?" "Who am I?" "Nobody knows that, son." "You are godsend" "You meant dearer than life to me" "The woman who bore you, her blood has shown you the right path today" "Laxmi, are you coming in?" "Or are you going with him?" "What's wrong with you?" "Call your son back, please" "Slut!" "He's a snake in the grass!" "You want me to nurture him?" "No way" "Go on, Ma." "Go" "Be happy." "Even in your wildest thoughts if you think I'm not your mother... you will see me dead." "You will see me dead!" "Ramu, are you going away?" "Are you leaving everything behind?" "I want to become a good person" ""In the paths of hope and despair,"" ""I suffered a heartbreak"" ""My destiny, slowly and gradually,"" ""robbed me of my dreams and everything"" ""The eyes are wet"" ""Laughter, I have forgotten"" ""Strangers and outsiders, I met"" ""Yet I didn't find a dear one"" ""For all my desires..."" ""I just kept dreaming"" "Ma-ji?" "Greetings, Ma-ji." " Bless you, son" "Do you work here?" "You told me to work hard" "I'm glad" "If you want to set up a small business, take the money from me" "No Ma-ji." "You've already done me many favours" "I've begun life afresh." "Let's see where it takes me" "May God give you success." "Do not hesitate to call on me if you need me" "I will" "Coming." "Goodbye, Ma-ji" "Welcome." " How's work?" "Fine." "Be seated, else the world will go round and round... and you won't stop laughing." " I'm coming from your place" "How are the people there?" " The place has become desolate" "But Koili has reformed." "She isn't fighting with anyone anymore" "She takes care of your doves and the shop" "Yes, I met Laxmibai, your mother" "She regrets what Shankar dada did to you" "Why don't you go there and meet them?" " I will" "I think of earning honestly and buying Ma a saree and a house... and bring her over." "We will live happily here" "That's like a gentleman" "For you, a motor car started coming into our neighbourhood" "I told you not to come here daily." " I told you, I'd come daily" "It's true that your love showed me the right path, made me a good human being, but I don't want you to earn a bad name" "I'll still be famous." " You are strange" "We are poles apart in status, capabilities, dignity..." "Hey mister, I simply don't care for your status, capabilities and dignity" "You want me to translate that?" "Stop ranting advise" "This advise will be fun when the judge comes to know about our association..." "Not association" "Love." " When he comes to know about our love" "Accusing me of luring his daughter, he'll pick me up from here and send me to a more cosy place called jail" "I think he'll throw his daughter out and send her to your house" "I have spoken to father." "He said, he won't have problems with my choice" "If you wish, we can marry tomorrow itself" "Are you crazy?" "If not tomorrow, whenever you wish." "I'm willing to marry you" "Wonderful." "It seems as if you are the man and I'm the woman" "Will you be taking all the decisions?" " Is it something to be ashamed of?" "No?" "Sorry, brother Ram." "Here's your food" "Rukhmini, wait..." " No way." "I know you folks are at it" "No she'll play the bugle everywhere." " Good" "Even the ignorant ones will know" "It's very difficult to understand you." " Rather it's very easy" "I talk straight, I don't hide anything" "I know, you hide nothing." "You are very good girl." "Sit" "It's ordinary food, I can't ask you to eat" "Why not?" "Why can't I eat what you eat?" "You won't like it, I tell you." " Wow!" "There's so much" "Yes." " Chutney..." "You like chutney?" "Then you eat first..." "What happened?" " Nothing" "Sour chutney and sweet pain, good combination." "You feed me now" "No, you will bite me" "I could even bite you without the chutney" "Get lost" "Get lost" "Yes?" " I can't come tomorrow" "That's good." " You are bad" "Won't you ask me why I can't come?" " Why can't you come?" "Tomorrow is my birthday party" "Tomorrow is your birthday?" "Happy birthday." "May my years add to yours" "Mere words won't do." "You have to come" "I'll wait for you tomorrow at seven sharp" "I'll introduce you to father, it's a great opportunity" "You will come, won't you?" " It's not wise for me to be there" "Why?" " There'll be people who know me" "And they'll talk ill of you." " I don't care for anyone" "But I care for you." "Please don't insist" "As you wish" "Cross?" " No" "Cross?" " No" "You are really cross." "But I know how to placate you" "Mala, I have given my heart to you" "But a joyous occasion calls for a gift, it's the practice" "And I have only this locket" "It means life to me" "Tonight, I give my life to you" "No... no, Ram." " Yes, Mala" "Whether I'm around or not, your heart will know that..." "I'm close to your heart... very close" "Many many happy returns of the day" "Hemant would've added to the gaiety." " If only he had time to spare" "Shobha..." "My child, this is not just a birthday present... it's also a symbol of unbreakable relationship between our families" "Come here, child" "My child," "I've never seen this locket on you before" "Your suspicion is true, Ma-ji" "This locket is the reason for my refusal to marry Hemant" "What?" " Why did the locket unnerve you?" "Nothing... nothing, dear" "A locket like this one had become a curse to someone" "It reminded me of him" "I'll only tell you to think well... and consider the future before you choose a life partner" "I've brought sweets for you" "Where are you hiding, Ram?" "He hasn't come yet." " Why so late tonight?" "What are you doing here, Rukhmini?" "It's a festival." "All the fishermen are going into the sea tonight" "Aren't the boats all decked up?" " You look pretty too" "The flowers, the mark on your forehead ...why don't you show me your gait?" "Wow!" "So graceful!" "Would you teach me how to wear this dress?" "Why not?" "You'll look more pretty." "Come on" "Ramu, why so late?" "You look somewhat hassled." " The Corporation's job is over" "Job is over?" "I had a job till the road was being constructed" "Now that the road is open, no more work" "Fishing starts tonight, you start too" "Else, as long as Dhondu is alive, eat, drink and have fun" "No, I'll work." " Bravo" "Spread the net and lie down with the sky above and the sea around you" "The cool breeze comes for free, but not your hard work" "I'll pay you what I pay the others" "Seven bucks a day." " I can't forget your favour..." "Favour?" "You'll earn for your work, that's no favour" "Get ready in five minutes." " In a jiffy" "Rukhmini?" "Why are you sleeping here?" "This is not the time to sleep." "Get up" "Get up" "You?" "Here?" "In this outfit?" "In Rome do what the Romans do" "But what were you hiding here for?" "Waiting for you" "You look very pretty tonight" "Really?" "Tonight I'm very lucky, you like me" "Your birthday yesterday made you a year older." "Happy birthday" "I got sweets for you" "Have some" "You too" "With your own hands please, you can look at me" "Please feed me, I won't bite" "Really?" "How was the party last night?" " Empty, without you" "I don't know why Hemant's mother was inquisitive about the locket" "What did she ask?" " Who gave you, and why" "I told her it's the reason behind my refusal to marry Hemant" "I have worn it as my wedding necklace" "Mala, you shouldn't have said that" "I can't lie, what else could I have said?" "No wonder it takes you a hell lot of time to get ready" "I'll be there in a jiffy." " You can take another ten minutes" "We'll make preparations." " Right" "I'm going with you." " Where will you go?" "Wherever you go" "The open sky, the sea around, and the cool breeze for free." "I heard everything" "I see." "But I'm going to work, it's a new job, besides... there'll be many others." " So?" "It's no good..." "I mean, what'll your father think if you don't go home?" "I'll phone father and tell him that I'll stay the night at Hema's" "Hema?" "What if he calls up Hema?" "I'll call up Hema and ask her to tell father if he calls that I'm sleeping" "Amazing." "Girls these days are so good at finding excuses" "And on top of it, they say they never lie" "You taught me everything." " Did I?" "Coming, dada." "I'll get ready, you go on." "See you later" "We'll meet right now, not later" ""The fraud trapped me in his net"" ""He even stole my heart away"" ""He took me for a fish"" ""I'm lightning, on a song"" ""He lured me with his love..."" ""the fraud"" ""He even stole my heart away"" ""The fraud trapped me in his net"" ""He hardly knows the sufferings in my heart"" ""It's so bad of my sweetheart"" ""He has painted me in his hues..."" ""the fraud"" ""He even stole my heart away"" ""The fraud trapped me in his net"" "Jeetu, get the stuff inside" "Go and tell Jaggi to pay up and take the delivery." "Hurry" "See?" "He thought my business will be ruined without him" "I was into all this much before his birth" "And as long as I'm alive, my business will go on" "How long will you be angry with him?" "Don't you feel like..." "looking up on him?" "Damn him!" "I don't care wherever he lives" "This time I forgive you." "If you mention him again..." "Dada!" " What is it?" "We're dead, dada." "It's a police raid" "See?" "You mention that jinx and here's trouble" "Jeetu, take the car away." "The stuff is worth 50,000, it belongs to another" "Don't worry!" " Shut the door, quick" "I'm not Shankar dada unless I teach the cops a lesson" "Take the backdoor out, guys." "You go upstairs" "Go back to your houses" "Surround the house and break the door" "Aren't you hiding?" "Get upstairs" "If anyone tries to step forward, I'll riddle him" "Get inside and shut the door" "Not the light." "I'll be riddled" "Shankar, surrender to the police" "I will" "Don't do this." "You've never done this" "I beg of you..." " I'm not your son to do your bidding... and let them have another's stuff." "I'd rather kill them all." "Back off" "Take that" "Shankar, don't resist." "You can't take on the police" "Surrender, I tell you" "Please turn yourself in." "For God's sake, turn yourself in" "If something happens to anyone, I'll be ruined" "For God's sake, turn yourself in" "For God's sake, turn yourself in." " Back off!" "Laxmi..." "Laxmi..." "No..." "Laxmi... what have you done Laxmi?" "What have you done Laxmi?" "No better gift than this" "I lived at your feet, where happiness..." "I never gave you happiness" "I always abused you" "But not even for a moment you left me, Laxmi" "How can you leave me alone now, you slut?" "Don't cry... don't cry, Ramu's father" "Let me meet Ramu... just once" "Sure." "I'll go right away, I'll beg of him..." "I'll bring him to you..." "Laxmi!" "I'll count only till five." "One... two... three... four..." " No need to count five, officer" "I'm coming downstairs" "Shankar, resisting the police is bad" "No more resisting, officer." "I resisted my son, he left the house" "I resisted my wife, she's angry with me." "It's all over" "Blood... the glass cut my finger" "As for the stuff, I regret I could not deliver it to the owner" "Search the house, confiscate the stuff." " No need to search, officer" "The stuff is in the shop" "Dada, are you going?" " Koili, I'm going, dear" "If Ramu comes, tell him that his mother missed him very much before she slept" "Yes, she is sleeping, don't wake her up." "Go on" "Folks, please forgive me if I've wronged you" "Goodbye" "Sir, we've impounded the stuff" "Start the jeep" "Hello" "How are you?" "You guys... what happened?" "Why are you silent?" "The police arrested Shankar dada." " Gosh!" "And Ma?" "She is upstairs." " Upstairs?" "Ma" "Koili, why is the house dark?" "Where is Ma?" "Ma is sleeping, Ramu." " What are you saying?" "Dada is arrested, and Ma is sleeping?" "Switch on the lights" "Get up, Ma." "Look what I bought for you" "Look, Ma" "Ma, you always said you'd want me to feed you bread I earn by honest means" "I bought this with my hard work, Ma..." "How could this happen, Ma?" "Dada fired, so the officer fired in retaliation... it hit aunt." "And she left us" "The officer shot Ma?" "What harm did this poor thing do?" "She suffered all her life..." "and she was killed" "Who was that officer?" "Who shot her?" "I won't spare him!" "Who shot Ma?" "I..." "I..." "I swear by you, Ma, I won't spare that officer" "I'll have his blood!" "I don't strike a sleeping man, officer" "Wake up!" "Your death stands right before you" "Ramu... you?" "You came to attack me?" "I thought you had turned a new leaf" "Even I heard that you are a guardian of the people" "But you, with your men, went to my house... and killed an innocent old woman in public" "You are a gentleman, officer, you killed my mother" "I'm sorry for what happened, Ramu." "I had nothing against your mother" "In trying to save a criminal if she was killed, I'm not at fault" "My mother's fault, she tried to save her husband" "Inspector, if you kill someone, you are the servant of the law, aren't you?" "And if I kill someone, I'm a killer, a criminal" "Ramu, these kind of mishaps happen sometimes... innocent people hiding in the dark with criminals also get arrested" "Not I, the law caused your mother's death" "If the law has caused my mother's death, then justice will be the cause of your death" "History cannot be erased, Ramu" "Go back where you came from, it's in the best of your interests" "Else, the law will get you" "If I was scared of the law, I wouldn't swear to kill my mother's assassin" "Nor would I have come here to keep my promise" "In rage, you have lost your senses" "I give you one last chance to go away" "There's a serious reason for this mercy" "Mercy is for cowards, officer" "Not mercy, I need your life" "You are forcing me to do something that I never wanted to do" "What happened?" "Ramu!" "You want to kill my son, do you?" "Your son killed my mother" "No." " It's true, Ma" "At the time of Shankar's arrest, she was shot while trying to protect him" "But I'd never do it deliberately." " Good Lord" "It's very sad, Ram." "While trying to perform his duty, he must've done it" "Would you quit the path of righteousness... and become a criminal, a killer?" "All right, Ma-ji, I had promised you that day" "I shall keep it now" "I won't kill your son" "I'll spare your son this time" "That doesn't mean I shall not keep my promise" "You can't hide behind your mother forever" "We meet again, I won't spare you" "I'll kill you" "No!" "No, Ramu!" "Ma, how do you know him?" "What promise did he use to label me a coward?" "Remember, you came looking for a criminal that night..." "What?" "It was Ramu?" "So a police officer's mother sheltered a criminal?" "No, not a police officer's mother." "Just a mother, a mother's love" "What love is this?" "It has become a hindrance to my duty" "For the second time, Ramu has escaped from my hands" "It amounts to deceiving the law, a punishable offense" "Then punish me too" "Why don't you understand, Ma?" "Ramu has taken on the law, not me" "Before he keeps his promise, I'll get him, dead or alive" "Inspector Savarkar, Hemant here." "Find and arrest Ram, right now" "And keep an eye on the tobacconist Koili, she'll lead you to Ramu" "Who?" "Koili, hurry" "Ramu... at this hour?" "What's up?" "Where have you been?" "To avenge my mother's murder." "But he escaped." "Next time!" "Get a hold on yourself, Ramu." "Your mother is dead" "Revenge won't bring her back." " I never change my resolve" "The cops are after me." "I am going to the old house." "Get me a bottle of booze" "You had quit liquor." " I'll start again" "I beg of you..." " Stop raving." "Get me booze, quick" "Excuse me... where does Koili live?" " The house right ahead" "Koili..." "Are you Koili?" " Yes." "Who are you?" "Do you know Ramu?" " Yes." "Why?" "Where does he live?" " I don't know" "I'm like your mother, dear." "Don't lie to me." "Ramu's life is in danger" "How do you know?" " I'm Inspector Hemant's mother" "He's getting the cops here." "I must tell Ramu to run away from here" "Tell me, dear." "Please." " Come with me" "Sit." "Any news about Ramu?" " Just received." "He didn't go home" "And the tobacconist?" " Desai is watching her" "I'm going to meet the judge." "If you have news, call me on this number" "Hi Hemant." "At this hour?" "I don't know what you are going to think" "However, since you consider me a friend, I'd like to ask you something" "Go ahead." " Where's Ramu?" "Ramu?" "Why are you asking me?" "What's the matter?" "Last night he tried to kill me." " No!" "It's a lie" "Ramu would never even think of that." " It's the truth, Mala" "He even took my gun." "It's a serious offense" "Hemant, are you trying to frame him since you failed in love?" "Mala!" "Can't you think beyond that?" " No." "Because I know Ramu" "You know Ramu but you don't know where he is" "I wouldn't tell you even if I knew" "All right." "If Ramu still loves you, go and reason with him" "That's all I want." "If he surrenders, I can save him from severe punishment" "Yes, Hemant here." "Any news?" "Desai just informed that Koili entered her beach house with a woman" "Ramu must be certainly there." "Brace up, I'll be there" "I'm going with you." " Why?" "I'll compel Ramu to surrender" "All right." "Come on" "You?" "How did you come here?" "I came to alert you." "Hemant is coming with the police" "Good news." "I won't need to go looking for him" "No Ramu!" "You can't kill Hemant." "I beg for his life" "Our scores have been settled" "You saved me once, I spared your son once" "Now I'll take revenge from my mother's killer" "No Ramu, Laxmi wasn't your mother" "I know" "What you don't know is that the unfortunate mother who bore you... is me" "You?" "My mother?" "You are playing a clever game to save your son's life" "It's not a ploy, Ram, it's the truth" "It's the truth, Ramu" "If this is truth, then nothing in this world is true... faith, religion, humanity, God, you, me... nothing" "Everything can be untrue, but it's true that... your father and I were married in a temple" "But before the world knew it, he died in an accident" "You were born... and then..." "I abandoned the apple of my eyes in a temple" "I tried to kill myself, but Hemant's father saved me" "And a hapless widow had to feign being a spinster and marry again" "If this is true, can I ask you something?" "The mother who threw her newborn baby to the gutters of crime... what's her punishment by law?" "Your husband is a judge... and your son is a cop, right?" " Ramu..." "You dumped me like a bastard." "You saw me rising amidst crime... yet you did nothing for me." " Don't say that, Ramu" "Don't say that" "Had you given me your love then, I wouldn't have destroyed my life" "I'd have become a decent person, I'd have had a different history" "There's still time, you can still come around" "You can change this history, son" "You call me your son, you try to become my mother... that too in this dark corner." "Just to save yourself from the stigma, right?" "I ask you!" "If the mother inside you has awakened, why before me?" "Why not before the world?" "Why not before your husband, before your son?" "Why don't you tell them that I'm your son, the burden of your sin?" "Ramu!" "Don't put your mother to test, son" "I have nothing to do with you" "The one I considered my mother, I'm sworn by" "And I shall keep my promise today" "What kind of oath is this that will paint your hands... with your kid brother's blood?" "Ramu, have mercy on him" "I beg of you, I implore you, please give it a thought, Ramu" "I'd have thought perhaps, had you not come as my mother" "But now, before Laxmi's son throws Hemant's mother out... she should go away" "The tobacconist just left with the woman" "And Ramu?" " I didn't see him" "He must be inside the house" "Ramu... the police has surrounded the house" "If you don't surrender before the count of ten, we'll throw tear gas inside" "What kind of oath is this that will paint your hands... with your kid brother's blood?" "Ramu, have mercy on me" "I beg of you, I implore you, please give it a thought, Ramu" "One" "Two" "Three" "Four" "Five" "Six" "Seven" "Eight" "Nine" "Tear gas." " Wait Hemant, let me try" "Ramu, come out!" "I beg of you!" "For God's sake, come out" "Hemant is my brother" "Hemant is my own brother" "My kid brother, my blood" "My own blood" "Officer Hemant!" "By using tear gas like a coward, you can't get me" "Come upstairs" "Give him some more time, Hemant." " Stop it, Mala" "Ramu, if you want to live, come out" "Ramu, come out!" "You can never arrest me." "It's not easy to get me" "If you dare, come inside and face me" "He won't come like this." "Keep shooting tear gas" "I'm going inside." "If I'm not out within five minutes, come in" "Take me along." "I'm also coming" "Please!" "Take me along" "Inspector Hemant, come inside and face me" "Inspector Hemant, if you dare come upstairs" "Come upstairs!" "The arms of the law are really long, Ramu" "Finally, you are arrested" "Not at the hands of the law" "At your hands" "Not by being scared of you either." "You won't believe me... just out of love for you" "Move" "This gun, exhibit number four, is said to have been used by Ramu to kill Inspector Hemant" "I say, it's a false allegation." "The gun was empty" "Inspector Hemant himself had impounded it" "The bullets, exhibit number five, were lying aside" "Which proves that Ramu never tried to harm him" "The argument of the defense is baseless" "Can he refute the fact that Ramu entered the officer's house... and unleashed a murderous attack on him with this dagger?" "He then snatched his gun and threatened to kill him before leaving" "Threat!" "It was only a threat" "It was an empty threat" "Had I or the prosecutor been in Ramu's place... we'd have gone through what he went through" "Any man would go berserk over his mother's murder" "But Ramu eventually gained control over his rage and sentiments" "He had decided to surrender like a gentleman" "The defense is trying to make the court sentimental" "What's the magic, the reason that turned a devil into an angel?" "Who changed his course?" "Who was it?" "It was me" "Shobha?" "Ma?" "No." "I have nothing to do with her." "Please don't listen to her" "I confess to my crime." "Mr Judge, please punish me." "I'm the culprit" "Not you." "I'm the real culprit" "What are you saying, Shobha?" "If you want to speak, please come to the witness box" "Mr Judge, she has nothing to do with this case, so why is she here?" "I confess to my crime." "I'm the culprit, I deserve punishment" "Swear by the Holy Geeta that you will speak nothing but the truth" "I shall only speak the truth" "To hide one truth, I cried all my life" "Today I will reveal it" "Ma-ji, I beg of you, go away" "You know nothing, please don't speak." "Mr Hemant, take your mother away" "Let's go, Ma." " I'm not just your mother," "I'm also Ramu's mother" "No, it's a lie!" "Mr Judge, it's a blatant lie" "Ma-ji, you are putting yourself to shame just to save my neck" "This is not right." "It'll be an embarrassment to your husband and son" "No, son." "Husband, son, society, I'll be rid of all worries today" "What are you saying, Shobha?" " I committed a sin by abandoning him" "Today I'm atoning for it" "Please be quiet, Ma-ji, for God's sake" "I beg of you, I implore you, say no more" "Say nothing, son" "God has given me strength today" "Not in a dark corner, not before you, I accept the truth before the court" "Mr Judge, I was an unfortunate woman, who raced ahead to have a marital life" "And I plunged my own flesh into the darkness of doom" "Ramu is the offspring of my first husband" "Ramu is the offspring of my first husband" "What have you done, mother?" "What?" "What have you done?" "I saw him once, then again... but I couldn't make him belong to me" "Like a coward, I watched his ruin, I could do nothing" "I'm not a mother, I'm a slur on motherhood" "I'm the real culprit, punish me." "My son is innocent" "Give him a chance to reform." "I'm the culprit, punish me" "Ma..." " Punish me" "Ma" "Get up, Shobha" "Your Honour, you are well aware of the twist in the case" "It's not wise on my part to argue at this point" "But I'd like to say one thing" "If our society treats criminals like Ramu with love... then they will turn into young men who'd serve the country and society" "Who turned Ramu into a criminal?" "The society did" "I wish we could question the hollow society and punish it" "In view of the proceedings, and the arguments... of the prosecution and the defense, the court declares that... the accused Ramu is guilty on charges of attempt to murder" "But considering the compelling circumstances of the accused, and his age, a mild punishment would be enough to facilitate justice" "Therefore the court sentences the accused Ramu... to two years rigorous imprisonment" "Let's go, officer" "Brother" "Son..." "Ma" "Ramu, two years will just fly away." "When you return, along with your mother and brother, you will also find father's love" "Father" "My son" "Shobha, let's go" "I have much to say, but..." " Silence speaks more than words, Ramu" "It's a joyous occasion." "Today strangers and dear ones have united" "Go on, Ram." "I'll wait for you" ""Strangers and outsiders, I met"" ""Yet I didn't find a dear one"" ""For all my desires..."" ""I just kept dreaming""
