"Are you saying yellow?" "Are you sure?" "Absolutely?" "Kale has averted a bomb explosion and saved our lives!" "Hear!" "Hear!" "There's still a sound... ls there always a noise like this when you defuse a bomb?" "No. lt happens only when I target the wrong wire." "The wrong wire...?"

"The reputation and popularity of our company is plummetting!" "Think of some ideas... please!" "I have a fantastic idea, sir!" "What is it?" "Why don't we beam pornographic stuff late in the night?" "The family viewership will desert us!" "My own family wouldn't mind!" "We need a face like the one KTV has..." "Ajay Bakshi!" "A face that will storm every household!" "This is Rhea Banerjee bringing you live reports... of a flood, 26 kilometers away from atna in village Chappla." "You can see how difficult it is to even reach here." "Mister... can you tell us where you're going?" "Far away." "My house is sunk!" "Ask the government to help us!" "As you see, people are moving out in large numbers to safer places." "Trees are being uprooted..." "large trees!" "But Rhea Banerjee will continue to bring you live reports!" "Keep watching TV24!" "I almost died when I lost those real tapes." "But you have saved my job!" "You were fantastic!" "This is the last time I'm doing it." "I've received a call from Galaxy TV." "Will you quit our channel then?" "If you think I'll quit your channel for... better profile and money... you're bloody well right!" "A star like you belongs only in the Galaxy channel." "...what's the deal?" "A challenge to defeat Ajay Bakshi!" " ls there anything else?" "Here's the contract." "Go through it carefully." "Don't you think this figure has one `zero' less?"

"Which friend's car have you borrowed today?" "It's my car, dad." " Yours?" "Aren't you happy to see my car, dad?" "What's the problem?" "Why do you keep worrying about me?" "Any father would worry about his son only in two conditions." "One, when his son doesn't earn a penny... or when he earns too much!" "My boss has gifted me this car for my good work, dad." "The kitten-rescue act, eh?" "In your days, it was news when a dog bit a man." "Later, it was news when a man bit a dog." "And now, when man and dog together bite an ass, it's really news!" "And if that's not the case..." "we make sure it is!" "We only tell people what they want to listen to, dad." "For all your hardwork and labour..." "what have you got, dad?" "I've got you... and I don't want to lose you." "You have the media on your side..." " And I can change the world, right?" "Forget it." "Come..." "let me take you for a "walk" in my car." "Take your mom instead." "Go ahead, Shanti." "Forget it, mom..." "I know he won't come." "Don't spoil your mood, okay?" "I love your car. lt's great!" "We won't be late for the Chief Minister's conference, will we?" "No, we won't!" "What a car!" "Great seats, aren'it they?" "The Galaxy guys are sending a super reporter to outsmart you?" "What's wrong?" " My dad!" "What'd he lose to sit in my car?" "But he'll never understand!" "Never be close to these old-timers!" "... hang out!" "Out and wide!" "Think of this new reporter, Ajay." "Your new poster..." "is it nice?" "Where's the new reporter from Galaxy?" " Right there!" "Beautiful!" "So you must meet her?" " Obviously!" "Ajay Bakshi's coming!" " l know." "He's so handsome!" " Only on TV." "I've heard the name." " But what's in a name?" "It's people's love and affection!" "I mentioned your channel..." "not you." "It's the coffee... not you." "I want a frontal mid-shot." "Heard that, Shahid?" " Will be done!" "You haven't answered my question, sir..." "You must've read my party's manifesto for the forthcoming elections." "I had to fight with the rime Minister this morning to... get 8000 million granted for our state." "I had promised to do it!" "Some disgruntled members are said to want to quit your party, sir?"

"Sharma's affair is raising questions." "Go to Central Jail at 5.30 tomorrow." "Do an interview with him and give him some image-building." "He'll sink in the elections and we'll sink with him!" "Don't worry, sir..." "I'll handle it." "Show me this watch..." "this silver one." "What're you doing here?" " Am here to bid a proper good-bye." "The C.M. insisted that I interview Sharma at 5.30 tomorrow." "Really?" " The world's chasing me... and I chase you!" "Show me that watch." " lt wouldn't suit you... lt's said to have the fragrance of the rose too." "It's nice... but I have many of them." "So you must have a lot of time?" "How about a cup of tea?" "No." "I'll begin at the beginning..." "What did you say your name is?" "I didn't tell you my name." " You gave me your mobile number... I didn't give you any number." " Good!" "Give me your address!" "I'll keep dropping in, you know..." " You're getting too personal." "Skip the personal details..." "give me some general information."

"He decides the girl he will meet according to the day of the week!" "That's okay... it happens." "If you happen to meet him, you must tell him that... I will tell him!" "Don't let her mislead you." "She's crazy." "That's the effect I have on girls." "One of the girls got married to the TV she saw me on!" "So how am I to blame?" "I was working..." "Once a man is smitten, Rhea..." "Banerjee..." "That's your name!" " 6044132 is my telephone number." "Your number!" "Let me write it down in the diary!" "How about some tea?" " Let me write, please..." "Tea?" "!"

"You'd be better in real life!" "Stop this business of match-making, mom." "Let me work in peace!" " Work all day!" "Will you keep interviewing these cops and politicians all your life?" "The only mission in your life is to get me married, mom." "But I have much more to do!" "So go away, mom." "Take one look at him, my dear!" " No." "If there is someone you love or like, tell me... I'll approve immediately!" " There's no such thing happening" "Let me note down these numbers!" "Boy's telephone numbers?" " No." "`Girls'." "Someone's going to face the music tomorrow."

"I'll have your channel thrown out from every home!" "Okay?" "!" "I'll do something, sir..." "right now!" "But..." "Where's Ajay?" "!" "Call him here!" "You scoundrel!" "Swine!" "You bloody idiot!" "Wastrel and a bloody fool!" "You're abusing me!" " No!" "I'm abusing myself!" "I'm an ass!" "I'm actually a horse... that goes lame on the day of the races!" "You asked me to interview Sharma." "But did I go there?" "No!" " Why didn't you remind me?" "I reminded you so many times!" " But I didn't go there!" "And why not?" "Because I'm a cheap shirker!" "How could you employ a man like me?"

"This is his brother-in-law, the Gandhian industrialist, Mr Gupta." "You had only to infiltrate the prison for Sharma... and it has set the cat among the pigeons!" "Hats off to you!" "You're a smart girl... you can surely be a member of the Upper House." "Sit down." " Elections are upon us, Chinoy." "Have you given a thought to my publicity?" "Don't worry." "You will be the chief minister this time around!" "Thank you, Mr Chinoy..." "lease do something, Rhea." "Give Mr Dua a new image and make him a house-hold name." "For that, you'll have to walk the streets and into people's homes." "What does that mean?" " A journey on foot." "Let's organise a rally and telecast it live." "We'll call it Ramakant Dua's march for welfare." "What will you have?" "Beer?" "Whiskey?" "She has made it, Ajay!" "They're showing that interview repeatedly!" "We used to be best..." "now she is!" "She ought to be!" "Any girl who outsmarts Ajay Bakshi has to be bloody something!" "That girl has ruined your reputation." "You almost lost yourjob... and you've forgiven her!" " No way." "This is the first time I've really liked a girl." "But I will ruin her rally!" " How?" "Underworld bosses are meeting at the cemetry this afternoon." "We will find someone there who will screw up her rally." "Why did you call a meeting in the graveyard?" "What we will discuss at this meeting is that... people ought to be scared of dons like us." "But this sample... appu Jr." "isn't still in his chair!" "Our comrade, appu Sr. took 15 bullets before he died!" "I told him often not to do it..." "this is where he is buried." "He died and left behind his good-for-nothing son, appu Jr!" "Hi, Abbu!" "Hi Babu!" "How're the kids doing?" "Sit down... we're all equal." "Don't you sit down!" "Remain standing!" "Your father was a good don!" "He was a blot on the society." "But you're a blot on us!" "I'd asked you to rob a bank." "What did you do of that?" "I really raided the place, uncle." "I got in there with my gun!" "And I stormed into the manager's cabin." "But he rose to greet me!" "And I realised I had an account in that very bank!" "Would anyone rob his own account?" "He's right." "This business is unpredictable." "Couldn't you find another bank?" "!" " l did... but it was a Sunday, a holiday!" "Couldn't you make it on a Monday?" " l did." "But it was a holiday too!" "How can any decent man be a don... in a country which has so many holidays?" "He's right." "Business isn't fun anymore." "To hell with your bank!" "I sent you out to instigate riots... what happened?" "I went there." "But I saw women in the marketplace... and lovely little children playing around." "What could I do?" "So you just came back?" " No, sir!" "I played cricket with them and scored an unbeaten 29!" "Bloody idiot!" "Why didn't you start those riots?" "!" "We not politicians to start riots, uncle." "We mustn't do it without any provocation." "We are gangsters, uncle..." "we have some self-respect." "Which means you've done nothing daring in the last six months!" "Let go, uncle... I've made an album, uncle." " A bomb?" "An album... it's art." " What's that?" ""Dons... we had to be"" "He's gone mad!" "Just throw him out!" "We've been humiliated!" "Nobody has seen us, I hope!" "What difference does that make?" " Right..." "We do recognise you!" "We badly need publicity, mister." " Hang on... the public's gonna cheer you when I'm through!" "How's that?" " Do you know Ramakant Dua?" "Rammu, you mean?" "I know the bloody double-crosser!" "You can take your fame in the underworld for granted!" "Long live, Ramakant Dua!" "This is Rhea Banerjee at Mr Ramakant Dua's welfare rally." "This is where you will get the publicity." "Recognise me?" "My childhood chum... this is appu Jr!" "I want to say a few words about my friend!" "I have a right, don't I?" " Sure." "He's a crook!" "Don't let him speak!" " How can I stop him in the crowd?" "Mr Ramakant Dua is a follower of non-violence." "He has always trodden the path shown by Mahatma Gandhi." "But he's praising me." "Know why?" " Why?" "He lives on Mahatma Gandhi Street!" "This man is a liar, ladies and gentleman!" "You know what Bhavna (feelings) I have for the poor!" "Bhavna!" "That's his maid-servant whom he has impregnated!" "His two illegitimate sons are here too!" "Dad!" "Stop it!" "Call the police!" "The attack on Mr Gupta raises serious questions of security in the city." "The police have been unable to say anything about the assassin." "All I can say is that Mr Gupta's condition is stable... all efforts are being made to save him." "Who opened fire?" " We'll let you know soon." "Couldn't tell who opened fire, could we?" "I'm glad Mr Gupta has survived..." " l don't want to talk to you!" "Not after what you did today!" "Aren't you ashamed to bring thugs... I was ashamed, all right." "You must also have been, to send all those girls to the restaurant." "May I drop you home?" " What for?" "Dad says no girl must go out alone after 9.30." "Especially when she's returning from a hospital." "So you have the decency..." " Not me." "My father does." "May I leave you home?" " ..." "I stay close by." "So I'll leave you close-by." "Let me open it..." " l'm doing it anyway." "You can't manage it..." "I'll open it for you. lease." "All right." "Do it." "This is how you do it." "Hold this and press gently..." "Don't worry... it's not going to rain tonight." "Shall we go?" "What happened?" "Let's go." "I think you must wear this blazer." " Thanks, I don't need it." "I'm not so delicate anyway." " But you sure are transparent." "You ought to carry an umbrella in the monsoons." "What's that in your pocket?" "I've been looking for it for 2 days!" "I always have half a banana and save the other half." "You never know when you might need it." "You're eating a 2-day old banana!" " lt's older, actually." "Want a bite?" " Never!" "May I ask you something personal?" " Go ahead." "Are you human or an ape?" " What do you like?" "Where've you been, riya!" "I was so worried!" "It was raining,..." "Mom and..." "Meet Mr Ajay Bakshi." "He came to drop me home." "Come in!" "Aren't you the same guy who...?" "!" "Oh yes!" "You didn't tell me about him, Rhea!" "And I've told her I'd approve of any boy she chooses!" "And she went and chose you!" "What luck!" "Sit down..." " You have a lovely house." "Wait... you're drenched, you see." "There's a misunderstanding, Mom." "He's only a..." "Let Mom's emotions flow, Rhea!" "She says such nice things!" "And Bengali!" "It's a sweet language." " He knows our language!" "He has a nice smile..." "and this is a cute ear-ring." "What're you upto, Rhea?" "You have a secure job, I hope?" " indeed!" "I even have a provident fund!" " So you can marry immediately!" "Great!" "I'm free tomorrow..." "how about you?" "This is the limit!" "I won't marry this man, will I?" "Why not?" "!" "Here's your coat." "And now go home!" "I was kidding, you see." "I only came to drop her home... and I'm just a friend." " Really?" "I'm famished, but she didn't ask me if I'd like something to eat!" "Would you like something?" "... here you are." "Bananas!" "I follow this principle with bananas. I have half of it... and he saves the other half!" "... Go on now." "I like this boy, Rhea." "Give it a thought!" "Don't cry, sister!" "Stop it now." "olitics has claimed my sister's husband." "Stop crying..." "someone take care of her." "It's a God-given opportunity with elections round the corner." "What better chance can we have of garnering sympathy?" "My brother-in-law, Magan Gupta, is dead." "What?" " Tell the boys what to do." "Be careful." "C'mon, guys." "Get ready." "It'll cause riots in the city..." "people will die." "So let them die." "I stand to benefit." "The most important aspect of politics is timing." "Now's the time we can reap the benefits." "Greetings to all of you!" "lease calm down!" "You have seen what the Chief Minister has done to me!" "He's doomed..." "so he's gone crazy!" "He had an assassination attempt made on me!" "But none can kill a man protected by God!" "The bullet grazed my arm... and hit my brother-in-law!" "He is dead." "And my sister has been widowed!" "We'l1 give them a fitting reply!" "But it won't be violent..." "Certainly not with fisticuffs!" "Down with the Chief Minister!" "Who will stop them or make them see reason?" "I will perform a prayer for peace in the city." "oliticians are fighting for power... but Mr Ramakant Dua is praying for peace." "eace for the world." "Do something!" "Dua is getting all the public sympathy!" "Give the riots a communal colour and blame it on Dua." "What's happening to this city, Ajay?" "It's on fire!" "There's so much of bloodshed." " Listen..." "What're you doing, Shahid?" " Shooting." "Shooting what?" "What are you upto!" "laying football, I guess." "I know you're at work!" "But what frame are you capturing?" "Come to me... it's okay..." "don't be scared." "Who is this man who has plunged the city into these riots?" "The police have arrested the man who has started a war... between two political parties." "But they know little about him." "We will keep you briefed on the latest developments." "This is the Chief Minister here, Commissioner." "Tell the press that Ramakant Dua hired an assassin to fire at him... so he could get public sympathy." "How can I say that, sir?" " lt's a lie, all right." "Issue it officially and it'll become the truth." "Do as I say, or you will be posted at Lal Ganj!" "Ramakant Dua here." "I'm very tense, sir..." " l'll rid you of the tension." "Make an announcement that the man arrested, belongs to the CM's party." "lnvestigations are underway, sir..." " Remember this much, Commissioner." "I may be the Chief Minister soon." "They ask me to pin the blame on each other!" "But how about me?" "Am I not human?" "Each one of them makes me dance like a puppet!" "The press is waiting outside." "They need to be told something." "What will I tell the press?" "I don't know!" "Let's use the "foreign hand", sir." "It'll keep them busy for a month." "The foreign hand!" "Correct!" "Who's this man, sir?" "Does he belong to a political party?" "I'm here to answer your questions!" "That man does not belong to any political party or organisation." "He's a terrorist from a foreign country." "He's a terrorist who has been sent to destablise our country!" "If only this terrorist was part of our gang!" "Here's our chance for publicity." "Let's have this terrorist!" "Kidnap him?" " Yes!" "...with live coverage on the Magan Gupta killing." "We'll show you a glimpse of this dreaded terrorist any time now..." "He is being taken to a high-security prison." "Which terrorist group do you belong to?" "Switch it off." "Go on!" "Where's he?" "He has disappeared!" "A sensational twist to the Maganlal killing!" "International terrorist escapes despite tight police security." "It raises doubts over Indian intelligence agencies." "I couldn't figure out anything." "The lights went off... for a minute, and he disappeared." "Did you see his eyes?" "Weren't they so scary?" " But I wasn't afraid." " Do you think they'll catch him?" "It's a big racket of fake passports and fake visas." "He'll be some place away by the time the police swing into action." "I want the reports on all blockades!" "Stop your car!" " How're you doing, AC?" "Ajay Bakshi and Rhea Banerjee together!" "Let them through..." "they're from the press!" "According to information received by India's Most Wanted... a dreaded terrorist, Mohan Joshi,... has befooled the law and escaped!" "A red alert for all our viewers!" "Look at his face..." "he looks dangerous." "This man is dangerous and armed." "Do not attempt to catch him if he is seen anywhere... you could be risking your life." "I've shaken up the Government!" "I have the terrorist in a drum!" "Where's Sapre?" " He got left behind." "Naturally." "He does not move with the times!" "Open it!" "What were you doing in there?" " You locked me in my mistake!" "How about him?" " The terrorist left... in the journalist's car." " So why didn't you tell me?" "!" "Strange!" "How can anyone speak up before you!" "You have shattered my dreams!" "I want that terrorist!" "I want him... where is he?" "!" "Let me... warn you!" "Don't think we're scared!" "He seems to be a madman, Ajay." "He doesn't understand a word!" "This is a warning, okay?" "I'm hungry." " Hungry?" "!" "Can you give me something to eat?" "Do you have something?" "Check out your bag!" "Switch on the camera!" "I have half a banana... I must warn you that the police are looking for you." "It has been made clear on every television channel... that you are an extremist." "you're a terrorist... I am not a terrorist!" "I'm not!" "I had a daughterjust like you." "Her name was Kavita." "Father..." "What's wrong?" " She's getting nervous." "Actually, Mom is making me nervous, father." "Step aside... go on." "Don't scare her." "I've served them for 30 years, dear." "I know Maganbhai's father very well." "He says yourjob is confirmed, so it's confirmed." "Don't be scared." "Our daughter has an interview!" "We must sweeten her tongue." "Do we have any sweets at home?" " No." "No?" "In that case, here's what we will do... let's make a laddoo out of this rose, okay?" "The rose has disappeared!" "And where's the laddoo?" "Here it is!" " But that's a peda, father!" "Really?" "Taste it, dear." "is it really a peda?" " Yes, and where's the laddoo?" "So where is the laddoo?" "...here it is!" "Bangles?" "!" "My daughter, Kavita Joshi." "The boss has called her for an interview." "I'm Kavita Joshi..." "Mohan Joshi's daughter." "I have some certificates..." "No...!" "Father!" "Why's it barking?" "No... please don't!" "... father!" "lease let me go!" "is the interview over?" " She left half an hour ago." "I was here all along..." "when did she leave?" "I don't know that." "But she has left." "Magan has...." "Why did you take me there, father?" "She has suffered injuries." "I think she has been raped." "This is serious." "You must immediately lodge a police complaint." "Why did you take your daughter there on a Sunday?" "Who knows why you went there!" "She has been raped." "But why be humiliated in court?" "You told me she was raped!" " l suspected it." "Why don't you understand?" "I know what you're after." "Go and take the money from Gupta." "I can make him give you 50 or 60,000." "I can't prepare a report based on mere suspicion." "Take my suggestion and have her married quickly." "Kavita died." "I don't know what strength her eyes gave me... but I decided  to take revenge for the atrocity!" "I kept looking for an opportunity for six long months." "And one fine day, I saw him at Ramakant Dua's gathering..." "Kavita's shrieks engulfed me the moment I set my eyes on him!" "My hand moved on its own and I pumped six bullets into him!" "I have paid a homage to my daughter by killing Maganlal Gupta." "If this amounts to terror..." "I am definitely a terrorist." "Where are you going?" "To my wife, Laxmi." "She's all alone. I must meet her before the police catch up with me." "I beg of you..." "please don't call the police." "No, we aren't calling the police." "We're television journalists." "We'll try and see that the truth is conveyed to the public." "How will you do it?" " She's right." "We've played many gimmicks to sell falsehood on television." "And we will do something now to tell the truth." "You must stay here." "Don't go anywhere." "We'll return soon." "So stay here." "It's so very wrong for a decent man to go through all this." "We've promised to help him, Ajay." "But how will we do it?" "Our bosses are friends of the political leaders." "They'll not agree." "Businessmen have no friends." "They befriend only money." "We will exploit this very weakness." "How?" " As you say, "just like that"." "My money, mister." "Where're you going?" " One moment!" "We have on tape the story of the man everybody thinks is a terrorist!" "Think it over!" " l'm doing my work-outs!" "I can't do two things at a time." " You can do anything, Kaka!" "Once his interview is telecast, it'll create a sensation!" "Are you out of your mind?" "!" "Ramakant Dua will have our channel shut down!" "He will be the chief minister only when he wins the elections." "But think of our profits if we telecast Mohan Joshi's interview." "Think of the sponsors and the advertisements!" "It'll make you famous in the world!" " Really?" "Of course." "But there's a problem." " What is it?" "We'll have to share this exclusive interview with Galaxy TV." "You mean you will sell the news coverage to my enemy, Kaka?" "!" "We'll have to, sir." "Ajay Bakshi was there, when I did the interview." "Forget your false pride, Kaka!" "This episode involves millions!" "Millions?" "!" "Really?" " Absolutely!" "So I'll suppress my ego!" "It's okay on my part." "C'mon, sir..." "Shake hands..." "Go on." "I said, shake hands." "Not merely touch!" "Like this!" "Not her... it's him!" "It involves millions!" "Gotcha!" "Dump the international terrorist in the boat!" "Let's go... appu!" "Where are you taking him?" "!" " Lay off!" "What are you up to?" "!" "I've been fishing!" "Can't you see?" "lease let him go..." "he's not a terrorist!" "We've seen it all on TV!" "The cops are after him and he's in our custody!" "That was a lie!" "Mohan Joshi is no terrorist." "No?" "We're not gangsters then!" "Go away before I lose my temper and blast you!" "Let's go, guys." "You're making a mistake!" "That man is not a terrorist!" "Turn around... they've left." "The cowards!" "They're running for their lives!" "Face me if you have the guts!" " Face him!" "I'll teach you guys a lesson!" " He'll teach you a lesson!" "Go ahead and tell them..." " Sure, I have." "They were scared of you." " l was very angry." "I'd have thrashed all of them..." " What must we do now?" "I think we ought to save the old man." "I know that, too." "But how will we do it?" "Will you marry me?" " Marry you?" "!" "The most dreaded terrorist of the world is in my custody, uncle!" "My name is being flashed in every newspaper and TV channel!" "The boys are thrilled." "Chinese journalists, the Hyundais, want to interview you." "See that?" "Journalists from China!" "I'm going international!" "What's Baba?" " That's a Chinese greeting." "You've got to say "Baba" and bow." "We have news that you have kidnapped the most dangerous terrorist." "Your fame has spread to China!" " Hold it!" "I think I've seen this guy somewhere." "Certainly... you must know Bruce Lee, right?" "I'm his brother." "This is my wife, Od Lee..." "the fair-skinned beauty!" "You love each other, I see." " There's something fishy!" "No publicity for you if you think we're fishy!" "Don't we want the publicity?" "... wait there!" "We made this den inspired by a James Bond movie!" "This is my rocket." "Does he drive the rocket?" " He's the international terrorist!" "He has made me famous." "Go ahead and interview me." "What's she saying?" "A photograph of both of you would be very good." "With him, eh?" "D'you want me to get him out?" "All right." "I'm Ajay Bakshi." "What's she talking about?" "A snap with the gun, eh?" "So tell me that!" "Who are you?" " Ajay Bakshi!" "Nobody moves!" "Come here, Baba." "I told you there was something..." " Shut up!" "Or I'll blow your brains out!" "Come with me, don..." "Let's go!" "C'mon, don..." " You will pay for it!" "Nobody moves... I'll be the worst yet if anybody follows us!" "You need a haircut, feller!" "Why are you laughing?" " That gun wasn't loaded!" "So why did you raise your hand?" " Why must I tell him anything?" "I can't lose face...!" "How're you, doc?" "And don't take that haircut!" "C'mon, Baba..." "Nobody can find us here. lt's very safe." "Actually, nobody ever comes here." " You've taken a lot of trouble..." "Don't say that, Baba." "Wouldn't your own children have done it too?" "They certainly would!" "C'mon in!" "Whose house is this?" " Shahid's uncle's." "Does nobody live here?" " No." "Shahid's uncle is old." "We use it sometimes for our work." "Let me keep the tape on the pelmet." "No. I'll keep it in the drawer." "This is why you come to this house!" "No... you're mistaken." " Who is she?" "Shahid's aunt." "She's quite bold." " And beautiful too." "And this woman here..." "must be aunt Farida, right?" "Yes!" "Shameless man!" "You call your girlfriends Shahid's aunts!" "How can you say such things, riya?" "Aunts are like mothers..." "and you call them my girlfriends!" "They're elder to me... so how I can ask them how to dress?" "!" "I don't want to talk to you!" " l won't talk to you either!" "You've been chasing me since the day we've met!" "Don't be under the impression that I'm chasing you, okay?" "You took liberties 0with me as a Chinese!" "You sat on my lap too!" " Did I?" "!" "Baba!" "Show Baba the pictures!" "He has throw it away!" " Relax... why're you fighting?" "I really think you are made for each other." "If you're so fond of fighting..." "just get married." "There!" "You even think alike!" "This how you fall in love." "Love silently closes in on you... and magically transforms the world around you." "Want to see the magic?" "So look into each other's eyes." "Not like this..." "do it with love." "Now start dreaming of a world." "A world of love." " And?" "Where only the two of you live." " And..." "What are you doing?" " You look like James Bond now!" "I've never worn such clothes." " You must." "Today's a special day." "What's so special?" " l won't tell... sit down." "I'll show you some magic today." " Really" "Sure. I'll bring a smile to your lips in just a second." "I smile every time I see you, dear." "You don't understand..." "this smile will be special!" "Shut your eyes... go on!" "It's Ajay!" "And where's the magic?" "Look at that!" "The fugitive Mohan Joshi has still not been arrested." "informed sources have told us that this dreaded terrorist... was seen in the company of a couple of television journalists." "Do you know where this dreaded terrorist is?" "Tell them..." " No." "You tell them." "He has told me everything." "We cannever forget what you've done for us." "I had these bangles made for my daughter." "I thought I'd give it to her in marriage..." "You are our daughter now." "You must wear it for your wedding." "lease don't refuse it." "Ajay, my boy!" "...where's the guy?" "So you are Mohan Joshi?" "You are fantastic, I say!" "You've stirred the nation with just one killing!" "C'mon, let's go." " We have a cassette of his story." "Yes!" "There is the cassette!" " To hell with it!" "We have the living proof before us!" "You can say everything you want to!" "The whole world will watch you live!" "You will accompany me, won't you?" " Everyone knows they're with you!" "They're celebrities, TV stars!" "They'll be caught in a jiffy!" "So come with us!" "You need not be afraid, Baba." "State every fact on TV without any hesitation." "You have our support." " Take care, Laxmi." "Just don't worry, lady!" "We stand by the truth!" "Let's go... careful." "My brother-in-law has ruined the whole show." "What do you want me to do?" "Give me the support of your 40 legislators." "Or the old man's story will strip you in public!" "Have a heart!" "Atleast respect our enmity, if we can't be friends!" "Give me the support of your MLAs and I'll make you the deputy CM." "That's spoken like a leader!" "That old man's story mustn't be leaked. I want to win the elections." "Don't worry..." "I play the cop." "So why fear?" "Great!" "The two of you have reached a compromise!" "But we end up losing millions!" "Let's give them both permission for 24-hour non-stop channels." "That's something!" " Everyone has truly benefitted!" "What will we do with the old man?" " To hell with him!" "The public thinks he's a terrorist;" "so let him be!" "The police have nabbed the dreaded terrorist Mohan Joshi... who was responsible for killing the industrialist, Maganbhai." "How did this happen?" " According to police sources... he has the support of the extremist group, the iso." "Meanwhile, Mr Ramakant Dua  has merged with the National arty." "Ajay!" "We have a 24-hour non-stop channel!" "The Government has given us the permission!" "And all this only thanks to you!" "Come, let's embrace my boy!" "You are worse than the third-rate man I thought you were, Kaka." "Which is why I'm successful!" "Look at this empire!" "I have no qualms..." "I run after money!" "But that's business..." "you won't understand it." "I'm the one on whose strength you're running this channel and business!" "You live off my name and hard work!" "Make any mistake... but don't ever suffer from illusions, son." "Who do you think you are?" "I can deliver 10 more Ajay Bakshis!" "The one who's on TV is the star." "That's the rule of television!" "I'll make them pay you for the tape you have, feller." "I'd be happy to see you make money... how much do you want?" "Enough!" "I'm not here to strike a deal today." "Nor am I here to sell myself." "I've come here to get back my freedom." "But don't think I've been defeated." "I will save Baba somehow." "Make sure you save yourself!" "Hot-blooded youngster!" "...you'll always be welcome, Ajay!" "Make a call to the CM." "Haven't you taken enough of beating, old man?" "!" "Where's the tape?" "Tell me!" "You, sir?" "!" "Have you got the tape?" " He doesn't seem to know about it." "So what are you doing with him if he doesn't know where it is?" "!" "Dua and my government will both be sunk if the tape isn't found!" "You knew what to do with him!" "Go away, Commissioner!" "You're not a novice!" "You know what is to be done!" "Get Ajay, if this old man doesn't know where the tape is!" "If he doesn't speak, get hold of the girl!" "If they still don't sing..." "you know what this is, don't you?" "!" "Kill them, so the matter will be buried forever!" "No!" "Don't kill them!" "I'll tell you..." "but you mustn't kill them!" "I'll tell you where the tape is." "I know where it is!" "Don't kill them..." "I'll give it to you in writing!" "I will also put in writing that I'm a terrorist... just don't kill my kids!" "lease don't do that!" "I will do anything you say..." "don't kill my children!" "The tape is missing, Ajay!" "Here's the tape, sir." "He has signed a statement we dictated." "Keep this document with you." "Keep this tape carefully, Kaka." " Me?" "I live in government accommodation..." "anything could happen." "Why mustn't we destroy the tape?" " No!" "Dua does not know this tape exists." "He mustn't be told either." "I'm with you, sir!" "If Ramakant Dua as much as thinks of toppling my government... I can use this tape to make him dance to my tunes!" "I see the point, sir." "oliticians can't be trusted." " You're right, sir." "We can do another interview, riya." "They've got the tape, Baba." "I don't know how... lt was I who gave them the tape." " You?" "!" "Why did you give it to them?" "It..." " Relax, Ajay." "Look at his condition." "Are you okay, Baba?" "They haven't..." " Wait a moment, Rhea." "We can do another interview, Baba." " What for?" "I'm really a terrorist." "I am really a terrorist." " Don't say such things!" "We can try to..." " Don't try anything." "Ask me any number of times and I'll repeat "l'm a terrorist" !" "No!" "You're not a terrorist!" "You are committing suicide!" "We didn't extend support to pull out halfway through!" "We don't have the tape, okay!" "But we can do another interview!" "We'll have it shown on other channels or published in the newspapers!" "Can you bring back my daughter?" "Can you give me back my daughter?" "You can't!" "You don't understand!" "They're very powerful people!" "eople like me are always sacrificed in this game of power and money!" "It makes no difference if one man from a billion is dead!" "It does make a difference to us, Baba." "Make them see reason, Laxmi!" "We have lost our daughter..." "we can't lose our children again!" "I know you will grieve at my decision... but you do understand, don't you?" " Yes." "Make them see reason." "lease take care of Laxmi after I'm dead." "No, Baba..." "We won't look after her." "You will!" "You will look after all of us!" "Mohan Joshi, who has links with the terrorist group, the lSQ,... has admitted to killing of top leaders and spreading terrorism." "Keeping in view the security of the country, this court... pronounces death by hanging for the terrorist." "Are you crazy to telecast the old man's hanging live, Kaka?" "You mean people will sit in their drawing rooms and watch him hang?" "is this a joke?" "It has never happened before!" "Why not?" "Don't people watch wars on television?" "Aren't the fights in arliament telecast live, too?" "We can rake in millions, sir!" "Think of the ads we'll get!" "Sponsors are willing to pay for anything sensational." "Be it cricket, a war or even a hanging!" "Chinoy is right." "eople in the country know that the old man is a foreign terrorist." "We'll say `this is what will befall anyone who dares eye our country!" "'" "No..." "All right." "Let's make his hanging an event of national interest." "We will set a precedent and history will remember our government... for showing firmness in handling the country!" "Make the announcement!" "A hanging will be telecast live... in the world's largest democracy... glory to India!" "Look at this, sir." "A new idea to sell hair-dyes!" "Great!" "I want a huge poster..." "I've taken a lot of money from them." "Will my product sell after the hanging?" "I'll personally it, feller!" "Just give me the cheque!" "It's a true story, sir..." " l know." "eople in the media can accept small frauds... not such a truth!" "Your newspaper will have a better image if you publish this story." "I understand business, Ajay." "I can't go against the government!" "The CM's call, sir." " Yes, Mr CM ?" "Have you collected enough?" " What an understatement, sir!" "We've made enough for seven generations!" "Let there be a hanging every year, God!" "Should you telecast this item on your channel, sir... we might be able to save Baba." " Why don't you understand?" "!" "Will Mohan Joshi support me if Ramakant Dua sues me for defamation?" "That man you're fighting for is not willing to support you." "So how can I endanger my channel worth 2 billion?" "!" "Baba's scared, sir..." " l'm scared too." "So what do I do?" "What are you running this office for?" "Shut it down!" "You don't care for a man's life and talk about millions!" "What's wrong with you?" "Why vent your anger on someone else?" "Why did you shout at him?" " What else can I do?" "An innocent man is being killed and we're just watching!" "And we've lost that tape;" "the crucial evidence!" "Think calmly." "There is someone who can help us retrieve the tape." "Who can help us, Rhea?" "!" " That publicity hound, the don." "The tapes are in there, appu..." " Shut you, you cheat!" "This man betrayed me!" "He came in the disguise of a Chinese!" "He even brought a girl along!" "Such are the things he does!" "He has made me an object of ridicule in the underworld, you know." "Don't you trust me, appu?" " Sure, I do, sis... I will get the publicity, won't I?" " Sure you will..." "The house belongs to a politician!" "You're robbing the thieves!" "Shut up, or I'll whack you!" " What can be more sensational?" "Go ahead and steal the tape... please." "Very well, sis..." "I'll do it for you." "Where's the tape?" "Tell me!" "I know it's in the farmhouse..." "but I can't say where." "I could shoot you, you...!" "What kind of a sidekick are you?" "!" "How will we find the tape in such a big farmhouse?" "Where would you keep the tape, if you were in Kaka's shoes?" "In the safe, of course." " Where would you hide a copy of it?" "In the same place." " That's it then." "We must take this copy to the place where the original is." "Why mess around if you have a copy?" " lt's not true, appu." "We didn't make a copy of it, Ajay." " Right!" "But that's something only you and I know." "They don't." "Congrats on the launch of the 24-hour channel!" "Who says the country is not united?" "We'll all sharing the spoils!" "Congratulations, Kaka." "What makes you come here, Ajay?" "Well?" "is this how much you love me?" "Won't you forgive your son?" "You had walked out on me!" " Yes." "He instigated Rhea too!" "He had kicked his job in the presence of so many people!" "I kicked the job... but it was my feet that were hurt." "I have realised that I am worth nothing on my own!" "You have come to know the power of power!" "It was only after we got hold of the old man's tape... that you come to me, wagging your tail!" "You're right, Kaka." "And I salute power now." "But I haven't come to you because of the tape." "I've been your student, after all." "How could you assume there'd be no copies of such a precious tape?" "I have a copy!" "But it has nothing to do with the original or..." "What's happening here?" "We have it made!" "When did you arrive?" " Just now... what tape is this?" "Songs of the Goddess, sir..." "meant for sinners like me." "What are Ajay and Rhea doing here?" " We've forgiven them, you know  it's all settled!" "Look after him, Chinoy!" "You were about to ruin the show!" "Dua doesn't know about the tape!" "You've forgiven me, haven't you?" " Sure, I have." "Forgive me too!" "Where's the tape?" " Don't worry, I'll keep it safely." "Ajay has escaped with the tape!" "Idiots!" "Don't stand and watch!" "Go after them!" "I'm scared, Ajay!" " No... don't be scared!" "Take a right, Ajay..." " No." "We'll take a left." "Take a right, I say!" "Where are we, Ajay?" "Send another car." "We're atleast alive... and safe." " No." "There were 2 cars chasing us." "So where's the other?" "I'd asked you to be careful!" "We've lost the tapes and the couple!" "If my political career is affected, everybody sinks with me!" "What?" " Everybody sinks with me!" "So what do I do?" "Halt the hanging?" " The hanging is tomorrow, sir." "We've accepted millions fom our sponsors!" "Don't worry, sir." "I'll handle everything." "Leave the responsbibility of the cassette to me, sir." "Check all the rooms and the cupboards." "What's all this about?" " We have a search warrant." "They're not in here, sir." " Where will he go?" "We'll crush his bones!" "He dares challenge the government!" "You have only worn the uniform..." "but my son is performing your duty." "Nobody moves from here till I give instructions!" "They've even raided our homes!" "Don't worry... we must somehow manage to spend this night." "Hurry up, mister. I've got to watch the hanging on TV." "I've got to close shop and watch the hanging too." "Not this road, it's jammed." "I must reach home quickly." "All roads are empty." "Everyone's watching the hanging." "It's almost time for the hanging..." "let's go." "A hanging of this kind is terribly vulgar." "Certainly not!" "It will send a message to the world!" "Anyone eyeing our country will meet with this fate!" "The bloody terrorist!" "Don't be scared..." "and be calm." "Take those medicines for your knee-joint regularly." "Don't be lazy." "You're listening, aren't you?" "We have a fixed deposit in the bank, which matures in January." "Make sure you sign the papers properly and withdraw the money." "Don't create any problems for yourself at the bank." "Distribute sweets among the children on Kavita's birthday." "Don't cry... don't!" "Welcome to the Central Jail." "Hurry up, dad. lt has begun." "Let's take a look at the arrangements for the hanging." "A man's about to die and you're giving me tea!" "I want a soft drink!" "The telecast has begun!" "Are the labels of the sponsors in order?" "No one must take offence." "Death ought to be as colourful as this." "Everyone must wish for a death like this... and a "Tipsy" to guzzle!" "This is the TV station whose control room we must reach." "But we have just 10 minutes." " The cops will be here by then." "Stop the van... do you have the permission to enter?" "I was asked to bring it to this address... so I did!" "This is another building." " Where is it written?" "Go away." " Sure, I will." "We now meet the one who will hang Mohan Joshi." "The hangman, Mahadev." "is it true that you're the only hangman in India?" "My father's a hangman too." " Really?" "What's the secret of your strength?" "Any special capsules?" "I use 40-plus!" " Why 40-plus?" "Because I've sent 40 men to death!" "...that's a joke!" "Do you think hanging is okay in a civilised society?" "My heart won't agree with my needs... no comments." "Isn't that right, Champa?" "Who's Champa?" " My wife... who else!" "Now for today's quizz: what is the name of Mahadev's wife." "The winner will get several surprise gifts!" "That pipe there is broken..." "This is not a hanging." "It's a salute to nationalism." "It's a warning to the traitors." "The world will see what fate befalls anyone... who casts an eye on Mother India." " What he says is right!" "How did you get in?" "!" "ut that tape in the player, Rhea." "Hurry up!" "Start the transmission of this player!" "Start it, I say!" " l can't do it!" "What's most heartening is that all political parties of India... have backed the government on its decision to the hanging." "Switch it on!" "We're showing a transmission of the Chief Minister!" "Stop that... and begin showing our tape!" "Hurry up!" "We will hang a hundred such traitors to maintain the unity of our country." "I'm not a terrorist!" "I am not!" " What's this?" " How's this telecast happening?" "I am not a terrorist!" " Stop that, someone!" "I'll be ruined!" "Call the police!" "Have it stopped!" "I had a daughter called Kavita." "She wanted to take up a job after her graduation." "But Maganlal Gupta made her a victim of his lust... on the day of the interview."
