"The ones who turn criminals due to poverty and circumstances." "Dharma, for instance belongs to that category." "And there are those for whom crime is a profession." "Dr. Dang for instance who belongs to the latter category." "It's believed that you've appealed to the Government for Dharma's release" "Yes that's true." "Six years ago Dharma had come to the jail." "to serve a life sentence for murder" "Do you know why he had committed the murder" "Because his younger brother was battling for his life."

"I tried on my part and instead of a life imprisonment" "Dharma lived behind the bars for four years." "Today, he's leading an honourable life in his village." "What is your opinion about a criminal like Dr. Dang?" "On the strength of their power and wealth, these foreigners... want to cause disturbances and unrest in our country." "These terrorists, who kill thousands of innocent children and people should be termed as not just criminals but as demons." "It's the prime duty of every religion and every human being... to eliminate such demons." "And we will surely give these demons a fitting reply." "We've arrested Dr. Dang." "The weII-known international leader of terrorists Dr. michael Dang... who was also the chief of Operation black Star has been arrested."

"wonderful!" "This is going to be fun." "In the 50 years of my career, I've visited the whole world." "I've been in nearly all the jails but only for short periods." "There must hardly be a jail where I've stayed for even one week." "I must've spent 2 or 3 days at most and was out in that much of time." "The jailer of every such prison has always accorded respect to me." "I was taken care of all the while." "This fellow speaks as if he's not a prisoner, but a minister!"

"It's very important to know in which jail Dr. Dang has been lodged." "By arresting Dr. Dang,... the Indians are posing a serious threat to our plans." "We'II give a fitting reply to their challenge." "We are ready for a showdown." "You'II have to tell us the name of the Indian jail... where Dr. Dang, our boss, has been lodged!" "I will not reveal it." "I just need to say 'Go' on this telephone... and your whole family in delhi will be wiped out in one single blast." "At least the nation will be saved." "This DSP was in-charge of the security of Minister Tripathi." "Tripathi played a crucial role in the arrest of Dr. Dang." "Mr. Tripathi is here!" "Greetings, sister-in-Iaw!" " Greetings to you!" "Ever since you've become a Minister, you've forgotten that we exist." "You're right." "To carry out a Minister's responsibilities... one is compelled to neglect domestic responsibilities."

"If uncle doesn't attend, I won't get engaged." "Don't you commit this mistake ever!" "Had I depended on this chap, I'd never have got married." "It would've been a Iot better." "Your wife would've blessed me." "She would've been spared a life of bondage with you." "Don't be carried away by his talks." "He thrives on the gift of the gab." "He was famous for his speeches in college... while I was famous for my action...my deeds." "That's why you became an employee while I became a Minister." "What do you mean?" " You've lost the bet." "Didn't I tell you, the Government would reject your application?" "It has been rejected." " Which application?" "just because he has written a couple of books on criminals... he's now obsessed with this new idea." "He sent the Government the scheme... under which he wants to release a few dangerous criminals... and wants to reform them with love." "And by forming an army of such criminals... he intends to eliminate criminals and terrorists in the nation." "If your Government hasn't paid heed to my request... it's the Government which is the loser, not me." "But did the Government not award you with a gold medal for your book?" "That's an old habit of the Government." "It confers a goId-medaI even if it doesn't approve of something." "But they did honour you!" " They did, all right." "At least you accept something!" " You too will accept it." "What'II I accept?" " You'II attend AniI's engagement." "And if you don't attend..." " But please listen to me..." "To hell with everything!" "The commissioner is on the phone." " I'II be back." "uncle!" "You're his only friend." "If you don't attend, we'II all be hurt." "I sent you a request for a sofa, a chair and a writing table." "Your request has been turned down." " Why?" "Because this is a jail, not a hotel." "ove for other criminals, and hatred for me, eh?" "What's the reason?" "They turned to crime due to circumstances." "Whereas, you're among those who create such circumstances." "I can't understand why the Government lets you live... and allows you to carry on spreading the poison?" "How big is your family?" "I mean how many children do you have?" "900 million." "I asked you about your children, not about India's population." "You might look at it as population." "But for me, they are my children." "They are the children of the family of India." "Don't you feel that you're too much of a patriot?" "Every true Indian ought to be a patriot." "Each of your Indian can be bought over for two pennies each." "You may even try to buy me over then." "You're here." "And I'm here, too." "Try it out." "Greetings, uncle." " May you live Iong. congrats!" "My brother and sister-in-Iaw have arrived too." "telephone your father, and ask him to come home immediately." "He's always busy with his official work." "Father..." " Yes, son?" "uncle and aunty have already arrived." "I'm coming." "I'm busy with my work." "Mother's terribly angry, father." " Pass over the telephone to her." "Mother's not willing to talk to you." "just do as I say." "Give her the phone." "just listen to me..." "The sound of your bangles tells me that you're angry." "What did you say?" "deliberately?" "..." "Me?" "!" "Do you know that c.B.I. officers from delhi are here on a visit?" "I've to prepare a report, and submit it to them today." "How much time will I take?" "At least an hour." "He's arrived." "Greetings." "How about a bet?" " Bet on what?" "An officer being bashed up." "There she is!" "That Dang harassed me like crazy." "The thing is...before everybody present..." "Go upstairs and get dressed quickly." "A difficult question, this one." "It comes up time and again" "At this age, my wife still asks me if I Iove her" "My asks me..." "do you love me?"

"I Iove you" "I've sired three sons." "And yet..." "I Iove you" "I'm an officer everybody respects." "But..." "I Iove you" "I throw my weight around everywhere." "And yet..." "I Iove you" "I'm scared, when I step into the house" "There's one song I sing for you, darling... just this song" "Everything I shall do, darling." "just for you" "I've given you my heart." "I shall give you my Iife, too" "No other promise matters." "Nothing else does" "There is nothing more precious than your love" "I shall live and die..."

"Did you hear the echo of this slap?" "You also will hear the echo of this echo." "You'II surely hear it." "till as long as you live, you'II continue to hear it." "I'II never forget your slap." "You should surely not forget it." "I'm glad that you've realised the impact of an Indian slap." "just remember that it was only one hand at work." "And then, you're quite an intelligent person yourself." "Give him two of these tablets with some turmeric-Iaced milk." "You'II recover completely by tomorrow." "You've got to dance at AniI's marriage." "You must dance and make merry." "You were the source of joy at his engagement, and the wedding..." "What happened?" " I'II go and check." "The PSO has attacked the jail!" "please stay in here!" "No." " Do as I say." "Hurry up!" "Madam!" "please don't go any further!" "Mother..." "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "Greetings." "Take that away!" "She's got to carry my message to Rana Vishwanath Pratap Singh." "Madam, please deliver my message to him." "tell him that this is me,... and this is him..." "Mother!" "and these are the children of India, your motherland." "Mother!" "Mr Sharma!" "God almighty..." "What happened?" "And how did it happen?" "It was the PSO..." "Now you will hear the echo of this echo, too." "The echo!" "Rukmani..." "How did it happen?" "Where are our children?" "Father!" "c'mon!" "anil is still breathing." "Don't you lose courage, okay?" "We'II go to the hospital." "Everything will be fine." "The terrorists have killed them." "The poor woman lost her elder son." "The younger one is dead, too." "Move back, will you?" "!"

"What?" " She has lost her speech." "ost her speech?" "For you, beloved nation..." "Mother went there to administer medicines to a sick prisoner." "I had accompanied her." "What kind of people were they?" "Don't be afraid." "Think again." "please try to remember." "calm down, please." "Why do you ask her?" "What can she say?" "Her young sons have been killed." "She had a full family." "Mr. Tripathi?" "Where's Rana?" " He's sitting over there." "How could you resign your job?" "What do you want to prove?" "Do you want to prove to the world that... a person like Dr. Dang has crushed your courage?" "Not at all." " Then why have you resigned?" "I've resigned because... only I will now fight the battle with Dr. Dang." "AII alone?" " Yes." "No." "We're all with you." "I've been discussing this with the Ministry for four days." "The Government has rejected your resignation." "But they've accepted your proposal for an experiment." "Here's your letter of approval from the government." "You can now choose whichever three criminals you wish... and embark on whatever secret mission against PSO and Dr. Dang." "You've chosen three criminals from a list of 72 prisoners." "Do you know, all three of them have been sentenced to death?" "I know that." "According to intelligence reports... all three are sentimental fools and terribly mean-minded, too." "They're hardcore criminals;" "not worthy of being trusted." "can I meet these three criminals?" " Sure." "This is your first prisoner, Baiju Thakur." "The High court has sentenced him to be hanged... for having killed four people." "He's presently lodged at the Nasik jail." "et me explain this in short." "I've no interest in you, not in your country... not in the friends or enemies of your country." "I'm not even interested in myself." "Have you come to grant me life?" "Not to grant you life, but to ask you for life." "You mean there is death on both sides." "If you die here, it'II be a shameful death." "And if you die there, you'II be declared a martyr." "Which means, death is certain, isn't it?" "No." "If you survive and return, you'II be respected by the world." "Now, that's something." "This is a nice opportunity to make the slip." "Sir...you've shown me the right path." "shall we go?" "After choosing a prisoner from the Nasik jail..." "Mr. Rana has gone to the Hyderabad jail." "The prisoner that he has gone to meet is a former terrorist." "Before he was arrested, the PSO smashed his right hand." "They broke my hand!" "The bastards made an invalid out of me!" "They made me use this hand to fire on kids of innocent people!" "I was a blind fool!" "I trusted them." "And one day, they told me that I have to commit a murder." "I have to murder Heena." "I had to kill Heena, my sweetheart!" "She was a policeman's sister." "I refused." "So they killed Heena." "They then cut off my hand!" "Rexson is a stooge of Dr. Dang...the scoundrel!" "I'd change my name if I don't feed his flesh to the vultures." "But, Sir... you can go away." "I don't vibe well with the government." "It's futile." "Go away." "The trouble is that you follow your heart, not your mind." "Today is the 16th of September." " I know." "You'II be hanged to death on the 21st of September." "You will depart from this world." "On the same night, Rexson and Dr. Dang will celebrate your death." "You will be buried with your ambitions in this very jail." "What you say is right." "I really follow my heart, and not my mind." "I've always been close to those who follow the heart." "Do you trust me?" " They have betrayed your trust." "I know for sure that you will not betray my trust." "He can save you from the noose."

"My Master, my ord, my Boss!" "Save me, please!" "I swear upon the dust on your shoes." "please save me." "I'm speaking the truth." "Ever since the judge passed the sentence..." "I've been imagining a dirty cloth hanging by the pole... and I've been hanged to death!" "My neck has been stretching like this, ever since!" "My ord!" "please save me!" "I'm very scared of death." "This is my first time!" "And I'm not used to dying." "What say?" "please tell me." "shall I switch on the light?" " First let go of my feet." "Here goes!" "please switch on the light, my ord." "You'd better understand one thing clearly." "I'II have the right over the life that is being granted to you." "You'II have the right." "I'II consider myself dead." "I'II live my Iife exactly as you want me to." "I'II sit when you ask me to." "And get up, when want." "I swear!" "Why have our foreheads been marked with the sacred mark?" "Have you ever seen a goat being marked on its forehead... before it is slaughtered?" "You should understand." "Take care of your sister." "I'm taking one of your belongings with me." "This..."

"By the way, I play banjo very well, too." "I know." "That's why I've brought one for you." "Fantastic!" "May you live long." "Hear that?" "Dada Thakur has brought a banjo for me." "Want me to play something on this?" "Dada!" "You said we've got to travel thousands of miles." "Do we have hear such boring devotional songs all the way?" "Why don't you play a film song?" "This is not a devotional song." "It's a song written by my wife." "We used to sing this song together at prison jail." "I consider myself fortunate that you've visited me." "But I cannot control my tears upon hearing the ghastly news." "You'II have to control your tears." "The tears will remain our secret till we have achieved our goal." "This secret I shall keep in my heart, Mr. Rana." "Don't call me Rana." "call me Dada Thakur." "That's right." "Dada Thakur." "This is the Indian border." "Before Dr. Dang's arrest,... the PSO and their trucks often frequented the place." "But not anymore." "This is the place from where several infiItrators have entered our nation." "The PSO is said to have organised a very huge camp across the border." "We're thrilled at your arrival." "I suppose you've understood the game plan?" "Greetings." " Greetings." "This is Mr. axminarayan." "Mr. axminarayan is a very good friend." "He's a leading official in the Indian Government." "He wants to join our gang." "We've deposited 50,000 dollars in his account." "I suppose you've told him the rules of joining us, Kittam Kittu?" "Yes, I've explained it to him." "Before joining the PSO, we take a holy pledge." "The pledge has to be taken there." "And here's the coconut." "Where's the coconut?" "Here's the coconut." "Go and break it there." "It'II mean that... you've taken the pledge, and you've joined our group." "Go on." "I see..." "God is Great!" "You're a fool, Rexson." " What do you mean?" "He didn't come to meet me, but to ruin us." "He was from the cid in India." "Indian revolutionaries had killed my father in 1947." "It was on that day, that I'd sworn to ruin India one day." "I'II break India into pieces within a year." "God is Great!" "I want a powerful man like you to sit on that throne." "God is Great!" "For this purpose, there should be powerful leaders like you." "I trust you completely." "That's why the PSO has decided to make tunnels in your forests... so that our arms and ammunition can be easily transported to India." "My jungle is your jungle." "Easy... that's no problem." "Where did he get hold of such wild men?" "Go away." "Take it away." "TuIsi!" "How long will you continue to break your head at the temple?" "Who'II wash the utensils and the clothes?" "Today was the final fast for Monday." "I've completed it." "Goodness!" "Whether you undergo a penance for 16 Mondays... or 16 Fridays, you will never find a husband for yourself." "I get worried whenever I see your problems." "How long can I continue to be a burden on you?" "ast night, ord Shiva appeared in my dreams." "That's enough." "Now you'II start chattering away." "come on." "Go home and work." "I'II go and buy some soap." "Nice village." "Isn't it, buddy?" "Why do you start glowing whenever you see a girl?" "It was my mother's last wish that I should have a family." "Dada Thakur will fulfill the Iast wish of your mother." "He will!" "et's go and lie down." " There you go." "To turn from a criminal to a policeman... it's very important for them to Iearn certain rules and disciplines." "Yes." "To fight the Kauravas, one must possess the strength of Pandavas." "Their training for the battle with death should begin from tomorrow." "Hear that?" " I'm hearing." "The old man wants martyrdom for us." "He's a naive fool." " How's that?" "He trusted us too easily." " What do you mean?" "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "What is that?" " About escaping from here." "shall I ask you something?" " What?" "How do two scoundrels think alike?" "!" "I was also plotting an escape from here." "How will that be?" " ook over there." "When I was in the circus, I used to play 'animals'." "c'mon!" "et's get cracking." "They're missing since morning." "ooks like they've escaped." "Don't fire!" "A bear!" "The bear!" "Why don't you understand that I'm human?" "please don't shoot." "I beg of you." "ook how I shoot now..." "Where the hell is he?" "She's crazy..." "I must find a place to hide!" "ook!" "A bear!" "Run!" "well, cutie pie?" "I told you several times not to fire, but you don't listen!" "Don't you have any sense?" "shall I tell you what's there inside this skin?" "And where are you going away?" "ook at me before you leave." "We were playing 'animals'." "Idiot!" "ScoundreI!" "oafer!" "Don't get abusive." "I'm a crazy fellow, you see!" "worthless man!" "Do you know who I am?" "You're a rude, useless and an arrogant girl." "I'm the daughter of the owner of this jungle." "Daughter of the owner of his jungle?" "You look like the daughter of a wild animal of this jungle." "It's necessary that... a wild girl be treated savageIy." "The name is Baiju." "Understand?" "Hurry up!" "c'mon!" "come on!" "The moment you see a girl, you start glowing all over." "We're running away in an officer's uniform." "Somebody could catch us!" "Nobody can catch us." " et's carry on!" "careful!" "The terrorists are here!" "Run!" "The terrorists have arrived!" "Your life and death are in my hand." "c'mon!" "You've landed us in a soup!" "You and your crazy ideas." "Hey!" "Stop!" "The crow's are making a Iot of noise." "Do I bump them off?" "et them be." "The scoundrels have realised their folly." "Yes, they've returned." "Such scoundreIs ought to be shot." "They're savages!" "They're not savages." "They've come as the officers of our jungles." "From delhi." "From delhi?" "Radha, go upstairs." "But uncle..." " I said, go on!" "I wonder what kind of training they're receiving on the hills." "God is Great!" "glory to ord Hanuman!" "Where will you go?" "I made six rounds." "The fourth round was incorrect." "The rest was fine." "That's your shortcoming." "Use your brains." "Before speaking to the enemy, estimate his strength and weakness." "Think, understand,..." "and then launch an attack." "Hear what he says?" " What?" "Think, understand, estimate..." "By then, the enemy will gun us down!" "The old man's going to get us killed!" "Greetings." " Greetings." "It's my bad luck, really." "You officers arrived in my area, but I couldn't welcome you." "It's my bad luck." "My name is B.M.S. Kittam Kittu." "He owns this jungle." "The moment he learnt... that you've newly arrived here, he came rushing here." "He's very fond of government officials." "He's a very religious person." "The entire village respects him." "please don't say that." "God is Great!" "I'm a small man." "please visit my house." " Pardon me?" "A small party at my home?" "We've just arrived." "We haven't even started our work as yet." "These officers will first get trained and then..." "What training, sir?" "You must be knowing about... the wild animals in the jungles around the border." "That's why I want you to come to my guest house." "Very big house!" "Very safe house!" "He has asked me to open the guest house for you." "My humble house also belongs to you, Sir." "Your house is my house." "My house is your house." "please do visit my house!" "We'II organise a party." "Good-bye." "That chap in the Iungi appeared to be a bastard!" "You'd better do something." " Yes?" "Keep an eye on his guest house." "should he create mischief, do I take him on?" "just do what I say." "This is just one gold necklace." "If you get TuIsi married to Somu,..." "I'II weigh you in gold." "really?" "I'II have to show TuIsi a dream to convince her." "What're you saying, Aunty?" " It's the truth." "ast night, ord Shiva had himself appeared in my dreams." "What did he say?" "He said the first boy I come across on the banks of the river ParuI... on the Sankranti day, will be my husband." "really?" " Has ord Shiva ever lied?" "No." "But..." " But what?" "I'II see you off as a bride!" "I'm sure, smugglers are carrying gold in the palanquin." "I nab the smugglers..." "And Dada Thakur's gonna be happy!" "Out, smuggler!" "What's this?" "ord Shiva's orders!" "You're my husband and I'm your wife." "My wife?" " Yes." "What drama is this?" "!" "The first man I meet today on the banks of river ParuI... will be my husband."

"It will emerge victorious, TuIsi!" "No!" "This garland is not meant for you." "It's for him." "He's a fake." "I'm the original." "Get in now." "Your aunty is waiting for you." "My aunty?" " Yes. carry the palanquin." "You're my bride." "And you're still acting tough with me." "I don't like your tantrums." "Where are you going?" "No!" "please don't!" "What's going on?" "If the girl is not willing, why are you using force?" "She's my fiance." "But who the hell are you?" "You'd better get lost." " Me?" "Who am I?" "The name is johny." "You're hitting me?" "He's hitting me!" "Take this, you scoundrel." "He was hitting me!" "No!" "Don't mess with them." "They're not nice people." "Go and sit in the palanquin." "glory to ord Hanuman." "BaIdy!"

"They were molesting the girl, Khairu!" "There are rats hidden in each and every corner." "This is my hand." "Do you know why it was broken?" "Because I've used this hand a shoot a Iot of rounds." "I've committed several murders." "They can have the bullets later." "But what do we do with the nuisance?" "Send her home first." " Sure." "Go ahead." "Why send her alone?" "These brothers will escort their sister home." "c'mon." "Take your sister home." "Move it, guys." "carry the palanquin." "They will also beg her for forgiveness!" "Speak up, children!" "Forgive us, sister!" " Speak up!" "Forgive us, sister!" "And what could we've done?" "allowed the girl to be raped?" "The first good deed of my Iife!" "And I get a scolding for it!" "Oh no."

"But you're sending me back to the gallows!" "I was only talking about love and romance." "Now listen carefully." "You will stop spying and romancing with immediate effect." "Neither does it serve any purpose, nor can I bear it any cost." "But... you'II give me a report on all the activities... and also where the roads in jungle lead to." "In 3 days." "This jungle is the private property of Kittam Kittoo." "Entry is strictly prohibited." "believe it or not!" "But the key to our problems is Kittam Kittoo." "Don't utter that name, damn you!" "Every time you do that it reminds me of Radha." "This job can be done." " How?" "I'm talking of the same Radha." "Once you become Radha's husband," "Kittam Kittoo will be our in-Iaw." "What say?" "You guys won't change?" " No." "ScoundreIs, really!" "Kittam Kittoo is very busy today." "I told you... you cannot meet him." " can we meet his niece, Radha?" "Why not?" " Because... she's just returned from a hunt and is bathing in the pool." "Returned from hunting?" "Radha has returned from the hunt!" "You see, we're letting you into a secret, and you aren't listening." "Go and fetch my clothes." "Yes?" "..." "Oh!" "hello!" "Did you go hunting?" " Not at all." "What're you doing here?" " I was praying." "Where's Reeta?" " She must be in there." "I'II convey your idea to Kittam Kittoo." "I cannot come out into the open and speak to you." "Who's the girl in the nude?" " That's Radha." "And where's Reeta?" " Reeta who?" "Radha's twin sister!" " Radha has no sister." "Kittam Kittoo has only one niece." " I see." "AII right then." "At the temple." " Yes." "We'II surely meet." "I'II meet you there." " Sure!" "He loves Radha as much as he hates Reeta." "What are you saying?" " I swear it." "Don't swear. just speak the truth." "I'm speaking the truth." "Radha and Reeta are the same girl!" "She's pulling your leg by playing a double role." "I see.." "Now just see how I start pulling that girl's leg." "Greetings." " Greetings." "You responded to my greetings with a greeting?" "Why?" "Do you want something from me?" "No." "In fact, I'm in a fix today." "And I need your help desperately." "You need my help?" " That's right." "tell me." "What is it?" " The thing is, last night..." "I married your sister Radha in the temple." "Married her?" " I swear it." "She told me that she would return with her clothes." "But she hasn't returned yet." "Did you hear what he said?" "He says that last night he married my sister, Radha, in the temple." "You're laughing?" "!" "I'm turning a widower..." "and you're laughing?" "Stop this merriment!" "Don't you act smart, mister!" "And listen carefully." "I'm Reeta and I'm Radha, too." "Now stage your act elsewhere." "You?" "Radha?" "You're not half as good as Radha." "Radha is a Goddess, while you're a witch." "Radha is brilliance, you are darkness." "Better watch your tongue." " It cannot be controlled now." "Attention, everybody!" "isten to my sad story!" "Ask the priest who got me married." "Ask the horse which I rode on." "Ask my friend who is witness that Radha is my wife." "I want nothing but my wife!" "You need not insult me by screaming like this in the marketplace." "If it is revenge you want, take me to some other place." "It's you who's insulting me and my love for Radha." "We got married, we had our nuptials together." "He's on the right track." "We even decided to name our son Prem Kumar Thakur." "You're crossing the limits." "Didn't I tell you that I'm the same girl whom you believe is Radha?" "You?" "Then was I dreaming?" "You've gone mad." "You've gone insane." "really?" " Yes." "There's the Shiva temple." "come with me, and speak on oath that you're Radha." "et's go." "I swear upon ord Shiva that Radha and Reeta are the same girl... and I'm that girl." "Then speak on oath that the girl who is Radha, used to hate me." "What do you mean?" " It means that... you don't love me." "ord Shiva!" "Why isn't she taking the oath?" "It means that she..." "It only means that..." "Since you left, sir,..." "Dada Thakur's men have created havoc in the village." "They harass us girls a Iot." "They won't harass you henceforth." "But you'II have to do something." "What is that, Sir?" "plant yourself like a pest in Dharma Mansion." "Use this tape-recorder as one of your ears." "also inform me every day, what is cooking there." "As you wish, Sir." "This is not good." "Dada Thakur will be very angry." "I swear, Khairu." "Radha is a very nice girl." "Then don't cheat her." "First tell her who you are, and why you have come here." "Then see how much she loves you." "My father was killed by terrorists in this very jungle." "Why?" " Because he was a patriot... and an honest human being." "I too want to tell you the truth about myself." "The purpose of my visit here..." "I don't even know if I'II remain alive for you." "No!" "Don't utter another word." "Radha!" "come here!" "He's a loafer!" "And you're a rich man's daughter!" "Before that..." " Shut up!" "If you meet him again, I'II shoot both of you!" "You must forget that girl!" "I've got to know about it." " There's no doubt about that, sir." "This is cheating." "A betrayal!" "betrayal?" "It's my destiny that has betrayed me, sir." "You have written this destiny for yourself!" "Remember." "We have a mission." "If we face any kind of storm before we accomplish that... you alone will be responsible for it." "And you won't even have the opportunity to seek forgiveness." "Sir!" "My love... sweetheart..." "Do not poke fun at me like this" "I'm in no way what your sweetheart should be" "Become like him." "That's what you must do... or make me the way you are" "I have sought you from God come, make me your bride, O beloved" "come and make me your wife" "I have sought you from God" "Do not give up the riches of your love... for this worthless toy of clay" "overs, in this world... forsake all that is theirs" "They forsake their world" "tell me once..." "to come to you come to me" "If I do not come at your call, I shall be called unfaithful" "I'm a poor, homeless wandering soul... who shall ever manage to keep pace with me?" "There will be times when I miss you" "And that will take away my Iife" "How could you seek that, my love?" "For, I haven't given you the right to die" "ive a hundred years, I will, for you" "Or else, I'II poison myself" "I have sought you from God come, make me your bride" "I have entrusted to you my body and soul" "You have bought me over" "I have sought you from God" "We shall never break, O ord" "Separate, we might..." "but not in souls" "Why did you do it, sir?" "It was necessary." "isten to me, sir." "et them return to their world of love." "They want to live, sir." "Your companions are supposed to be soldiers; not lovers." "ove is a gift of God, sir." "should anything be achieved at the cost of love and emotions... it will not be acceptable to God." " They made some promises to me." "The promises will be fulfilled." "I'm with you." "blow my head away..." "and, by God, I will not complain!" "Grant them their life, sir." "release them." "You seem to have forgotten that I've left behind my office." "But I still realise my responsibilities." "And there is no place for cheap behaviour in my scheme of things." "You're speaking just like a politician." "Who, seated on his chair... thrusts thousands into a war, for his own ego and pride... and calls them soldiers." "AII he sends the soldier's widow and folks, later,... is a letter of consolation, a little money and a medal!" "You are an ignorant man." "Keep your views to yourself." "For, every soldier knows... that his uniform can even be his shroud." "How right you are!" "And should he wish to escape the shroud of death..." "leaders like you would bury him alive!" "But johny and Baiju are not even your soldiers!" "They're merely prisoners." "Whom you have granted life in charity." "You have." "As a jailor." "For a jailor, a prisoner's life is as precious... as that of a goat in a slaughterhouse!" "They are slaughtered every day... but no one casts a look of sympathy at their plight." "They want to cry..." "they want to live!" "As for these prisoners, they aren't even sheep for you." "You think they're dogs..." "mere dogs!" "only to have another medal added to your already decorated uniform!" "only because these dogs can avenge for you... the death of your children!" "Now listen to what I have to say." "My name is Vishwapratap Singh." "Singh means a lion." "I've lived like a lion, and I'II die like a lion." "And a lion does not need dogs to protect his children." "He can take revenge on his own." "I can forget fools like you... but I cannot forget those 380 prisoners in the prison... who were dear to me like my children... and who were shot to death by the PSO within those four walls." "I will fight for them." "I will go to the enemy on my own." "I don't want those weak-kneed lovers... who drop their weapons as soon as they faII in love." "I don't want them." "The PSO told me the same thing." "Rexson told me the same thing." "He told me to kill my emotions!" "They asked me to pick up the gun and slay Heena!" "What's the difference between you and Rexson then?" "We're prisoners, after all." "And prisoners we will be!" "We can never get our freedom!" "We will never be freed." "When a man goes blind... he can't tell the difference between night and day." "But there will be a day when realisation will dawn upon you... and you'II be able to see the difference." "Vishwanath Pratap Singh will take on the enemy, all alone!" "I don't need such frivolous lovers... who give up arms the moment they faII in love!" "I want Rana's men... dead or alive!" "What have you decided?" "revolt." "And you?" " just what you have decided." "You come first;" "everyone else comes after you" "You are my effort and my culmination" "I shall live and die for you, O love..." "I've brought this shawl for you." "Muniyatai said you're running a fever." "tell her, I'm all right." "I will not die so easily." "Aren't you coming home?" "Muniyatai has made food for you." "What's the point in talking about such things?" "I got carried away last night and spoke a bit too much." "If we were your sons, wouldn't you have forgiven us?" "Go home, Dada Thakur." "please." "I'II bring them home, too." "It's no use, Sir." "They've been drinking the whole night." "They've knocked off three bottles." "They won't wake up for another 5 hours." "I've seen it all." "Give me that remote control." "Now that you've seen it... you must realise that how close death is." "I can see and understand the tricks of the enemy." "They've handed over guns to our children... so that they can fire at our own kith and kin." "I don't want you." "I want those three prisoners you've brought." "They're not prisoners;" "they are my sons." "I've pledged to kill them." "And I've pledged to protect them." "You'II be dead, too." "Now that we see our own children turn terrorists... which parent would want to live anymore?" "Wake up!" "Dada Thakur's life is in danger!" "And you're sleeping?" "!" "Damn this hand!" "Bastards!"

"How did this happen?" "!" "You're okay, aren't you?" "Have you had a dream?" "Don't worry." "Your husband will be all right." "Want to go to him?" "You can't." "Not till my husband returns from Kanpur, I can't let you go." "Doctor...?" "I'm sorry." "I cannot say whether he will survive." "can't you say?" "!" "And how will he not survive?" "!" "What kind of a doctor are you to say, you're not sure?" "!" "Of what use is this bloody hospital?" "!" "Throw away that white coat!" "Burn down this hospital... if you cannot save even one patient!"

"It's not safe for me to stay here anymore." "I'm telling you the truth!" "We only want Dr. Dang's whereabouts." "I'II tell you!" "You cannot meet Dada Thakur." "They've come from a far off place." "It's very important to Dada Thakur." "The visiting hours for the guests is already over." "They're not guests." "tell him that his wife and his son have come to meet him."

"For a Iong time, too." "till such time as every desire in you... and your sense of pride is buried with you." "I want to keep you alive, till your tricoIour... of which you are so proud, goes down on its own." "You probably take the tricolor to be a yard of mere cloth, Dr Dang." "It has taken the blood of millions of martyrs to take its form." "It's the pride of a billion Indians." "Try to touch it, and you'II burn to ashes." "Ashes?" "It was I who showed you the ashes, Rana." "At the crematorium... the remains of your children;" "your prisoners and your ideals." "Have you already forgotten the sight?" "The funeraI-pyre?" "The ashes?" "The ashes you speak of have already turned into dynamite." "Dynamite?" "You mean your three prisoners, who are here to eliminate me?" "Those apes are heading towards my camp." "To be blown up by the explosives I've laid." "Which means they have reached the evil empire." "Sure, they have." "They're taking the holy Mother with them, too."

"If this building is blown up, the PSO will be wiped out." "Why drink so much of beer that you lose control over yourself?" "What happened?" " We often have a power failure here." "I've intimated the Red Tower." "Since work on the tunnel is on, power failure is common occurrence." "Where had you hidden this precious diamond?" "fools!" "Asses!"

" Of course. call them!" "Friends!" "I'm a poor son of India!" "A prisoner!" "I have pledged to Dada Thakur... that I will take this devil's head to my soil.."

"Ask your guys to drop their guns!" "Drop your guns!" "Move now... with your arms raised and legs on the ground!" "Move!" "The tables have turned!" "Wow!" "Had my mother been around, she'd have been thrilled with me!" "Now, guys... you will repeat just what I want you to!" "Dr. Dang..." "Shame!" "Shame!" "gentlemen!" "Some of your dear ones are our guests!" "Meet them first!" "ook carefully." "There are bombs tied to their hands." "And I hold the remote control." "You guys are now in control." "You can let them die, if you wish." "Or let them live, too." "Wisdom now lies in releasing me." "We'II have to let him go." "Every deed we shall do, for you, beloved nation" "This is my battle." "You must not get involved." "You have done your job." "No family with a traitor like jagga... can ever think it has done its job." "Such families are finished." "My job begins now." "Dada Thakur..." "Khairu has sent this note for you." "What are you guys doing?" "!" "Throwing a girl like that?" "Get out, fools!" "Now look, Radha." "You love a guy who loves his nation." "And I..." "I Iove you." "It's love at first sight." "Indian girls have always been my weakness." "They do things to me." "I'II let them go." "I'II do just as you say." "But, for once... you must be my Queen." "It'II be great fun." "What say?" "Okay?" "Hey, lady!" "What're you doing here?" "I've come to look for my husband." "The villagers say you're holding him captive." "How did you cross the border?" "That man in the bus gave me a ride." "come on out, whoever's in there!" "Go back from here." "Hurry up!" "Victory to India!" "O love..."

"Fire!" "Fire!" "call the fire brigade!" "Put out this fire!" "Khairu's dead." "His body's lying in the compound." "Every deed of ours shall be for you, O MotherIand" "Our heart is yours;" "we'II give you our lives, too" "Who's bombing us?" " It's an Indian carrier." "Step aside, Sardar." "And send the girl over to me." "You bastard!" "You scoundrel!" "Run away!" "Oh God..." "Send the ammunition immediately!" "c'mon!" "That's the red tower, which stocks 90%/0 of the explosives." "Who told you?" " NihaI Singh." "If the building is not blown up in 15 minutes, we're in danger." "But how do we blow it up?" "There is a way." "We're sending the explosives, sir." "Who's that?" "Why is our truck returning?" "Where are you taking the truck?" " To blow up the Red Tower." "We're carrying explosives in this truck, Khairu!" "We'II be blown up with the tower!" " Not you... it'II only be me." "No, Khairu!" "et's find another way." "There is no other away." "Get down, both of you." "No, Khairu!" "If you go, we come with you!" "Don't talk like a fool!"

"And when is my plane arriving?" "In 15 minutes, Sir." "Dr. Dang has never conceded defeat." "In a matter of 15 minutes, everything will turn to ashes." "Do you hear the echo?" "Do you?" "It's the echo of the explosives... you showered on the unarmed inmates of my prison." "It echoes the cries of the orphaned children and the widows!" "This is the echo of India..." "whom you wanted to destroy." "And today, you are in India's clutches, Dr Dang." "well, Dang?" "Was that fun?" "Did you really believe that you could destroy the country?" "Did you really think so?" "No!" "It's impossible." "impossible!" "Whenever demons like you set foot on our soil." "our tricoIour will make sure it wipes them out!" "Brother!" "You swine!" "You're in my hands today!" "Don't shoot, johny!" "You've done a wise thing by not killing me." "Perhaps you forget that your wife and child are in my custody."

"What do you mean Where will we go" "Did you hear that, Mother" "When we wanted to run away he locked us up!" "He forced us to have milk and scolded us too." "Now that we want to stay at home he asks us to go away in the big bad world." "This isn't fair." "You have given us a new life and lots of love too."
