"The van's ready, sir" "I don't know!" "Father..." " My child!" "Go inside!" "Where've you hidden it?" "Speak!" "Let him go!" "He knows nothing..." " Hurry up and speak" "What's all this...?" "And this?" "I swear it on God!" "We don't know!" " Where did it come from?" "You don't know, eh?" "Your son Ansari...?" "Where is he?" "Where is Ansari?" "Name your accomplices!" "Who are they?" "Speak!" "Tell us!" "You bite the hand that feeds you?" "We're going to make you talk for sure." "Speak... say something!" "Traitor!" "Scoundrel!" "Why don't you say something?" "Are the ISI guys your lords and masters?" "Lower the gaze!" "Where did you get the weapons from?" "Speak!" "All these weapons were recovered from Iqbal Ansari's house... which proves that Iqbal Ansari is an agent of the ISI and... is associated with a terrorist group." "Perhaps he had a role to play... in the riots that broke out recently" "We have therefore arrested him under the anti-terrorist law" "We have come across clues... that expose their conspiracy to attack many places in Mumbai" "He will be presented before a special court" "Inspector Thate will take a special team to escort him to Mumbai tomorrow" "Bastard!" "You think they will have you freed?" "This isn't a problem restricted to Chandangarh in my constituency" "It's a problem the whole nation faces" "The communal riots, the open attack by terrorists on a police team... are all part of the proxy war that is being waged against us... by our neighbour through their intelligence agency, the ISI" "Earlier, it was the uneducated and illiterate people... who were brainwashed into helping the ISI" "But now, educated people like Ansari have begun to become their agents" "This is an alarming situation." "We will have to crush this network" "For that, the Mumbai police will have to rush a team to Chandangarh... and present the terrorist Ansari before the court on the appointed day" "Yes, it's not an easy task" "I have therefore requested Additional Commissioner Mr Naidu... to carefully pick the team that he is dispatching to Chandangarh" "Eight police officers have been killed in trying to bring Ansari to Mumbai" "And nothing has still changed in the situation or the working conditions... or even in the element of danger." " Is there someone on your mind?" "DCP Anant Srivastav" "And that is how you and we have been serving the nation" "The only difference is, we sport khadi (hand-spun fabric)... and you wear the khaki" "They want to silence him with claps, but he..." "I know." "And very well too." "That you wish to listen to me further" "But because time is scarce..." "Thank you" "The chief of the academy Mr Anant will now say a few words to his students" "Mr Anant Kumar" "Your Papa's fast asleep!" "Mr Anant Kumar..." "Forgive me, I happened to doze off" "I had no idea that the honourable minister would start his speech... with anecdotes of 1942" "I was all attention till 1974-1975, after which..." "I dozed off" "However, it has nothing to do with your speech... it has to do with my age" "I'm very grateful to the honourable minister and his likes because... they have taken great care of my comfort" "Whenever there were incidents of crime or riots in my area..." "I was immediately transferred to a peaceful place... so that I could live there in comfort" "From one place to another and so on and so forth... and when they couldn't find a peaceful place at all... they posted me here in the academy, amidst all of you" "That was a great speech, sir" "Enough, don't flatter me so much" "No, sir." "We are really very fortunate... to have received training under you" "Your real training begins now" "And you will have to stand a test at every step" "In the discharge of your duties... in your struggle against dirty politics, corruption... and communalism that has now come to grip the nation" "At that hour, you will have just one teacher" "Your own conscience." "Your integrity" "Make sure you preserve it" "What else will I say?" "I wish you achieve everything..." "I couldn't achieve in my career" "Yes...?" "Yes, I'm coming." "In just a moment" "That's another duty." "Towards my wife" "My daughter's getting married, there's so much to do" "Look, you must all attend the wedding" "You've put them up only here?" "I want them there and there..." "I want lights everywhere." " It will be done, Madam" "There are still two weeks to go for the wedding" "Two weeks indeed!" "The guests will start pouring in soon... and the master will be very angry" "Three here... one here..." "Why're you being so stingy?" "I want the house full of flowers." " Don't worry, lady..." "I'll make sure your house is as scented as a rosegarden" "Mummy, please come here" "What happened?" " Look at this, Mummy" "It's so tight, I can't breathe!" " What's this, tailor?" "Didn't you get the measurements right?" " The measurements were right... but looks like the kid has put on weight in the happiness of the wedding" "When is this picture from?" "May 1988." "My sister had come over from Bangalore during the vacations" "We had all gone to Mahabaleshwar." "You were supposed to come there too" "Because of some case, you couldn't get there" "Which case I was working on and when... you even remember the day, month and the year" "But I know nothing of what you were doing and when" "I don't remember half the pictures... and I'm not there in most of them." " They're just pictures, Anant" "No" "They're about a whole lifetime... which I've just witnessed..." "not participated in" "What you were busy doing was also very necessary" "I gave thirty years to the department" "Whatever work I was given, I did with all my heart." "I never protested" "What happened is in the past, sir" "But I don't know why, but I feel today... that it was an expensive bargain." "Please be seated" "According to the department, I was never a good police officer" "And my wife has a million grievances against me" "My daughter has her own share of complaints" "Her father was never around for her" "Tomorrow she's going away, sir" "I must at least stay around when she's leaving" "I understand everything you say, Anant" "But don't you think this case, this mission, is the opportunity... you have always waited for?" "Anant, this case is extremely sensitive" "And you are the only one I can trust" "But there are only 12 days to go for the wedding, sir" "This is a matter of only 3 days!" "After that you can return home... but those who died in Chandangarh, and those... we owe them a debt, Anant" "You will understand that this is not an easy task" "There is a power that will do its best to ensure... that Ansari does not reach Mumbai." " Whatever the power sir... we are determined" "71 people have died." "Several were injured" "Thousands were rendered homeless." "They're out on the streets" "They're all people of my constituency." "My own people" "I don't know how we will compensate their monetary losses" "But they must atleast get justice" "The whole state has pinned its hopes on you" "I promise to preserve the honour of the uniform, sir" "It was a very high-level meeting" "The Commissioner, Mr Naidu, and even the Minister... chose your husband to go on this very important mission" "It ought to be a matter of pride for you" "Oh yes, I'm proud too" "There's also a wedding in the family in 12 days, Mr DCP" "As far as the DCP is concerned, he's not going to be present at the wedding" "Hush!" "You talk any rubbish!" " The one who will attend it... will be the Additional Commissioner of Police, Anant Kumar Srivastav" "What?" "Really?" "That's what I heard." "That I'm surely getting a promotion this time" "Naidu dug out the news." "Don't tell anyone yet" "After the newspaper carry the news..." " Finally they've seen sense" "This promotion ought to have come 10 years ago" "Never mind." "It's okay" "So you're happy, aren't you?" "After years, I feel... that I'm worthy of something too" "How are you doing?" " So?" "Inspector with an attitude?" "That's not true." " Oh come on!" "You didn't even telephone after returning from your training" "And I left so many messages!" " I got all the messages and..." "Forget all that." "You're giving us a treat the day after tomorrow" "Not the day after tomorrow." "I'm going out." "On an important assignment" "You will, if I let you go!" " What are you doing, Rishita?" "There are people watching!" " So?" "I'm in my uniform." "It has a certain status in the people's eyes" "What have you done?" "You drink and drive in broad daylight?" "Let me have your licence." " He's wrecked everything, sir!" "Here's 50 rupees." " What the hell is this?" "I asked for the licence." "So give it to me!" "Sorry, sir." "Here's a hundred" "You try to bribe me?" "You bribe a police officer?" "Let him go, sir..." "I'll deal with him." "Please go ahead, sir" "What mistake did I make?" "I was paying him according to his stars 10 rupees for a single band, 20 for two... 50 rupees for an officer with stars." "I was paying him 100 rupees" "If there's a hike in your charges, you must let us know" "He just can't start hitting me" "What's the name?" " Ashok Yadav" "This place you're going to... is it very dangerous?" " Who told you?" "Mala." " Mala who?" "Mangesh's wife, of course" "What does that mean?" " They're crazy" "What do they know?" "Dangerous, my foot" "And where isn't it dangerous?" "You cook on the LPG, don't you?" "That's dangerous too" "When I cross a road, that's dangerous too" "They talk some nonsense and you listen to them... and come here to chew on my brains." " As I was saying..." "Shut up, will you?" "Just skip the nonsense!" "Why're you yelling at me?" "Can't you reason with me politely?" "It's your wife you're talking to" "You aren't talking to a thief or a thug" "All right." "Now don't start crying" "For a year, I've been telling you that I want to visit my mother" "You say yes, but then you go away on duty" "I'm coming back in 3 days." "I'll take you to your mother then" "Promise?" " Of course" "I'll even bring an embroidered sari for you" "Don't tell me!" "Father, my bat has broken." " So let's buy a new one" "You're my Sachin Tendulkar" "Nice to see him awake" "Else, whenever I saw him, he was asleep" "It's as if he grew up in his covers." " How's he to blame?" "You go away for days on end." "That's how your duty is" "Don't take a dig at me." " Don't take a dig at me!" "Wait..." "let's go" "Constable, how did you get in?" "Get down!" "Why're you getting worked up, madam?" "There's a lot of eve-teasing taking place nowadays" "The government has therefore decided to give womenfolk some security" "Rambo, the gang's going on a picnic." "You're coming, aren't you?" "No, I've been screwed." "I've got to go to Chandangarh." "On duty" "Chandangarh?" " Yes" "Okay..." "Madam... there's security ahead" "Get up Shekhar, quick!" "What the...?" "You didn't let me sleep all night" "I'm human, not a machine" "My husband is here" "Two days, he said!" "Why is he back so soon?" "What are you looking for?" " Where's my underwear?" "You're wearing it" "I'm undone" "Good Lord" "What the hell are you upto?" "Are you sane?" "How'll I arrange them?" "Good Lord!" "What are you doing?" "Inspector?" "Here?" "Again?" "Playing hide-n-seek with me, eh?" "Where have you hidden it?" "Where?" "Tell me, quick!" "What?" " Cocaine" "You quit smuggling." "You're peddling drugs now, aren't you?" "I have confirmed information this time" "Oh no sir, I wonder who this enemy is... who gives you false information, and every time you come home, searching..." "Don't lie" "I couldn't sleep all night because of you" "Sir, honestly, I have quit all illegal businesses." "Ask her" "Why don't you say something, stupid?" " She has said and done all she had to" "Now it's all upto you" "Else, you will be locked away for ten years..." "What are you offering me?" "You can have all of it." " Stay alert" "I can raid anytime." "And don't ever lie to your wife" "Never return before time" "You dig?" "Enjoy" "To Chandangarh?" "No, no way!" "I'm not crazy" "Sir, the assignment is very important." " More important than my dear life?" "Know what?" "Eight policemen had left Chandangarh with a terrorist" "Know what happened?" "They couldn't even reach the station" "Were bumped off right there" "Thank God I have connections in political circles" "I'll get it off my back" "Trust me, make an excuse and get out of the way, that's it" "Sorry sir, I can't do that" "Really?" "Really?" "Tell me something?" "Why did you join the police force?" "Come on, tell me." " Sir, since childhood..." "Enough." "I know the rest of the story" "Father was a freedom fighter, mother used to teach children..." "I'm tired of listening to such filmi stories" "Tell me honestly" "Did your parents force you?" "Or are you here for the perks?" "Yes?" "Or no?" " If anyone tries to bribe me..." "I'll break his jaw." " Bravo!" "That's what every newcomer says" "Later, they break the jaws of those who don't pay up" "Pull over, sir" "Stop" "We are to be there at the headquarter at nine tomorrow." "The DCP's orders" "This is fine" "lts cocking handle is stuck lt'll work, sir." " Mr Patkar, are we insured?" "I mean, if it gives way, we're dead" "Now why would the minister go to serve the country so early in the morning?" "I spoke to him last night." "He asked me to call up in the morning" "Give him the phone, please" "I found only four bulletproof jackets, the rest are in use already" "What?" "He's offering a prayer?" "Come on, my life is on the line" "Tell him, it's an emergency." " Sir, only four bulletproof jackets" "That's enough for the four of you." " Aren't you coming, sir?" "Either I'll come to congratulate you or to offer wreaths." "Go on" "Mr Patil, Shekhar here." " Who Shekhar?" "Inspector Shekhar." " Go on" "How are you?" " I'm fine" "How's your wife?" "Your mother?" " Come to the point" "Sir, I spoke to you last night about the Chandangarh mission" "Please take me off the list." " Impossible" "Find a way out, please." " I said, it's impossible!" "Your wife called last night." "She was telling me... about Shahrukh's new movie premiere." "She wants her children photographed" "Pandya will take them." " Bloody Pandya" "All right, sir." "Please apologise to your wife on my behalf" "Okay." " And tell the children... that uncle Shekhar is not available." "Convey my regards to grandma" "Now hang up, will you?" " Okay, sir" "Bloody swine" "All set?" " We got all that you asked for, sir" "Any personal weapons?" "Just doing some adjustments." "I don't have any more weapons" "How many rounds?" " Thirty" "You can keep them" "Mr Gupte did a very meticulous check." "He's a gold medal winner in shooting" "Did you say something?" " In the shooting range... it's very easy to hit the target." "Because dummies don't shoot back" "But a living soul does." " Right" "Anyway... we'll leave for Chandangarh at half past eleven" "And, if everything goes according to our plans... we'll be back with Ansari on the morning the day after" "But we got to pull it off very carefully... staying alert, within the framework of the law" "The enemy we're going to confront has no identity, no face" "We have no idea about the enemy's count... but we know that they are many in number" "We have no idea about their weapons... but we know they are better than ours" "We don't know how and when they will ambush us" "But we know they will attack" "To get Ansari released, they can go to any extent" "We'll leave in ten minutes" "You are a great better, sir." "What d'you think of our chances?" "Hundred percent." " Of returning?" "No." "Of going to Heaven" "There's a photographer outside the compound." "Get him" "Let's go" "Where are you taking me?" "Sir, I'm a freelancer." "Here's my I. D" "I'm paid about 250 bucks per snap" "That's how I survive, sir" "I got to know that a special team is supposed to leave for Chandangarh" "Since it's exclusive, I thought I'd make an extra buck" "What are you doing, sir?" "It's my breadwinner" "I won't make this mistake again" "Don't answer" "Rekha didn't tell me you are here" "I had already delivered the photographs" "I have nothing left here" "So what's this one doing here?" "The test photograph." "I don't know how I missed it" "My mistake" "I'll destroy this mistake" "What about the second mistake?" " Second mistake?" "Police" "Whom you have brought here." "They are standing outside" "I'll take care of them." "Trust me" "Don't worry" "Only your silence can keep me off the worry" "You mean... you will...?" "No, no!" "You can't do this" "We've been friends for so long" "My wife considers you her brother" "You can't kill me" "Please forgive me" "I won't make this mistake again" "I'll do whatever you say" "If you say, I'll quit this city" "Look..." "I have a wife... a little girl..." "They have no one but me" "My daughter will be orphaned" "Don't kill me, please." "Spare me" "What can you do for your family?" "Anything... anything" "You would even trap me" "No..." "I didn't mean that" "I won't ever do that" "This family thing is so strange" "It makes a beast out of a man... and a man out of a beast" "You're lucky, you're saved" "When did you arrive, brother?" " Just now" "What happened to you?" " Got emotional" "He loves the two of you dearly" " All right, but...?" "What would papa's girl want to be?" "She wants to be a singer." " Yes, she loves to sing" "Sing." " Sing for uncle, dear" ""Life is a season that changes every moment"" ""At times it's shade..."" ""at times life is sunny"" "Let's check" "Great." "I'll leave now" "Brother, have something before you leave" "Next time" "What's wrong with you?" "And why are you weeping?" "You look so tense...?" "Nothing" "Who?" " Police" "Open up." " Police?" "Here?" "I'll handle it, just open the door" "Answer the phone, Shweta" "If only a tomorrow comes..." "Dr Iqbal Ansari... because of a few selfish men like you... the entire community is maligned" "But you care two hoots" "Because you folks are the types... that would even put your mothers up for sale for your own gains" "I'm told that you haven't broken your silence yet" "Haven't yet spoken to anyone, right?" "I'm not here to listen to you, I'm not here to talk to you either" "Your case has come up for hearing." "I've come to take you to Mumbai" "And I'm certainly taking you" "In trying to save you... your accomplices killed eight of our men" "I have to settle that score too" "And I will, certainly" "Do or die!" "That's my resolve" "Now look, Ansari... there are two kinds of justice" "One, which is delivered inside the court... that was explained to you just now" "And the other is delivered out of court" "It suits me" "And according to me, the second one will suit you just fine" "Remember... any hitch on the way, and I'll deliver justice to you on the spot" "No court, no lawyer, no judge" "One bullet... case dismissed" "A bullet into your butt and out of your head." "You dig?" "Saw how I boxed him?" "Was that a display of courage?" "Wasn't he a cardboard target too?" "He couldn't hit back" "Bravo, bravo" "It's quits between us" "Riots..." "Ansari, his silence, the attack on the streets..." "I find this ominous, Mr Srivastav" "The sooner you take him away, the sooner I'll be at peace" "My best wishes are with you" "Best wishes?" "Or condolences?" "Sir, there's a girl, Mahalaxmi, calling from Little Angels School" "She suspects that the people put up at her place are terrorists" "Thembi Naka" "Ask her to wait for the police near the telephone booth there" "Tell her not to speak to anyone." " Yes sir" "May I go with the team?" "The photographer, Bhagol, whom you asked me to keep an eye on... he and his family have been murdered" "His house was blown off." "Four policemen died too" "Did Ansari say something suspicious?" "Sir, we have fresh information" "About a terrorist hangout" "We're on our way" "Look sir, I can walk" "I can even run" "We can't leave you behind, Darky" "Can't take you along either" "I'll be useful to you, sir" "You're fatigued, weak" "You aren't well either" "Not work, you need rest" "You seem quite relaxed, and you aren't wearing a bulletproof jacket" "Mahalaxmi had called..." "Damn Mahalaxmi!" "From the name, she appears to be around 75 years" "Born in 1936, bored of too much tv... she thinks of making a name in the neighbourhood... and calls up the police, so that she gets herself on tv" "How can you be so sure, sir?" " A policeman's instinct" "Not every policeman, I say" "God-given gift" "And my instincts are really very strong" "I can never go wrong, watch" "Men in uniform, fall behind." "Men in mufti, stay with me... as usual." "Come on" "I told you" "Did you call?" " Yes, I did" "Great" "You were born in 1936?" " My, my!" "How did you know that?" "Where are they?" " At home." "They are crying" "Cry...?" "Why are they crying?" " I told them you are coming" "Why did you tell them we're coming?" " That's how I pacified them" "They are waiting for you." " Waiting for policemen?" "You chaps are policemen?" "What did you think?" " Are you not the cable guys?" "Cable guys?" " My grandsons were watching the match" "The tv suddenly conked out." "I called up the technicians" "I've been waiting for them" "Aren't you Mahalaxmi?" " Silly, I'm Sapna." "Sapna" "Sir, your instinct failed" "That one passed" "Those blue eyes will kill me!" "Just tell me, ma'am..." " One minute, one minute" "You tell me." "Inspector Shekhar Varma." "His senior" "His senior has arrived too." "Our Deputy Commissioner" "Talk to him" "Are you sure no one ventured out yet?" " None" "I was keeping an eye." "No one came out yet" "Which room?" "That one" "Will there be shooting?" " Could be" "Tell your staff and children to lock themselves up in a room" "Ask them not to come out without my orders" "Come on, children" "It's hot" "They've just moved out." "Call for a roadblock" "Damn, not even his mother would recognise him" "Face smashed at point blank, and the gun shoved inside" "Hands burnt too..." "fingerprints, out of question" "No!" "I'll answer all your questions at the police station" "As of now, clear the corpse." " Hey lady... you are yelling as if we planted the corpse here" "They have been your guests for ten days" "Look, the trustees rented this room out" "How were they to know that they are terrorists?" "These guys said they are here to document the riots on film" "Honest criminals, I must say." "They came here for a shoot... they shot, and vanished" "She's pissed off." "Offer the lady a soft-drink" "Just tell us... of all the days, what made you inform us today?" "I saw the students playing with this in class" "That's why I called up today" "Can you recognise them?" "I haven't seen all of them properly, but..." "I could recognise a couple of them" "But... today... the man who came in the morning... his face..." "I can never forget" "Organise security for her" "Talk to the SP." "One constable with her, two outside the house..." "Look, I'm not staying here." "I'm going home to Mumbai" "I came here only for a three months' workshop with the children" "I have done my duty by calling you here" "Now you perform your duty." "Why drag me into all this?" "Look madam, the man you came face to face with today... he's not going to forget your face either." "He's a very dangerous man" "He never leaves a clue behind." "And you've witnessed it just now;... the corpse" "We're leaving for Mumbai tomorrow." "Why not take her along, sir?" "He's right" "I'll have to speak to the headquarters" "What is the guarantee that I'll be safer with you folks?" "They were here for ten days, and there was no trouble at all" "I gave you one phone call... informed nobody else... and all of sudden, all of them vanished" "Don't trust anyone, Anant." "Trust your instincts" "Sir, I would like to change my travel plans" "Do what you think is best" "And sir, what do we do with that girl, Mahalaxmi?" "As you said, her life could be in danger" "Take her along." "She could be useful in court" "Why do you want to change your travel plans?" "It's already organised" "Yes, it's organised" "Out tickets are booked for tomorrow morning in the Mumbai Express" "Bogey number S1, seat number 24 to 29" "How do you know that?" "The list is in my drawer, and the details... only I know" "Others know these details too" "I found this piece of paper where the corpse was found" "This piece of paper was under the paper... on which the details were being noted down." "The impressions stayed" "Looks like a storm is in the making" "Sir... one moment, sir" "It's Ansari's mother, sir" "The bastard doesn't talk, and this old hag won't listen to anything" "She has been camping here for a long time now... insisting on meeting you" "One moment, sir" "Please" "Sir, she'll chew your brains." "I'll drive her away" "Wait" "Open the gate" "Sir..." "Ansari's son" "I'm not educated" "I don't know what's happening out here" "But everyone is saying that my son is a traitor" "That, he is responsible for the bloodbath" "If that's true... then fie on my womb... for giving birth to such a son" "But the mother's heart says... he could be guiltless" "Right or wrong, it's upto the court to decide" "If he's guilty, hang him" "But for God's sake, help him make it to the court, sir" "Please don't shoot him on the way" "You will meet your son... in court" "What are you doing?" "Standing before a window or a door is dangerous" "Anyone can target you" "I hope I wasn't very rough...?" " Never mind" "Also, during the interrogation this morning, I was quite strict" "Actually, I'm a fool when it comes to girls" "Mhatre, why don't you take medication for the cough?" "You were saying something, Ms Mahalaxmi" "No, you were talking" "See?" "I don't know what happens to me when I'm with a girl" "How strange." "You are a policeman, yet..." "Rather, it's surprising to see such a pretty lady like you... doing social work in such a remote village" "Since childhood, I was very much impressed by social work" "That's why I joined the police force" "But here, I see politics, violence, corruption..." "I feel like quitting everything and joining you" "Mhatre!" "Sonny, will you take something?" "Or do you want me to offer it to you?" "Yes, you were saying something." " No" "This time too, you were talking" "Not again" "All these constables are expert at the wheels" "And they are well-versed with the roads of Mumbai" "Yes, the DCP is in." "But who are you?" "Who is it, Ashwin?" " Someone wants to talk to you" "Says, he's an old friend, but he won't tell his name" "Who...?" " You paid me a visit... and sadly I wasn't present" "However, I tried to talk to you when you were there" "The phone kept ringing but you never answered" "You still got a great head on your shoulders, DCP" "Smarter the quarry, merrier it is for the hunter" "Who's the hunter and who's the quarry... it will soon be known" "The call cannot be traced" "It's a place near some station." "I can hear a train" "Why are you silent, friend?" "Trying to recall something?" "You talk as if you know me" "You might've forgotten your old friends, DCP... but I never forget mine" "All lines near the stations have been disconnected, sir" "He's in some bar or restaurant near a railway station" "Neither do I forget, nor do I forgive" "All the bars and the restaurants in the city are shut" "Sarika, look who's there." " One minute" "I'm studying, mummy." "Please take a look" "Who are you?" "Who do you want to meet?" "Inside my house!" " I can reach anywhere, DCP" "Ansari, too" "You were lucky today, you are saved" "Luck must favour you all the time" "I got to be lucky just once!" "Look, if you harm my wife and child..." "Anant?" "Tell me" "Oh!" "Is everything all right there?" " Yes, fine." "Why?" "And Sarika?" " She's with me" "What's the matter?" " Nothing..." "I just missed the two of you" "The constables are outside, aren't they?" "Yes, they are" "Anant, you seem tense." "What is it?" "It's all right." "Go to bed" "Felt good." " What do you mean?" "When danger scrapes past me, it feels really good" "I'm always on the lookout for such shaves" "Playing with danger has been a passion since childhood" "Where there is Shekhar, there's danger" "Where there is danger, there's Shekhar" "Take this mission for instance." "Chandangarh mission" "The moment I found out, I approached the Commissioner" "I told him, it's a dangerous mission, put me on it" "He tried to reason with me, "We choose the group leader first"" "I said, "Sir, carry on the search, I'm game"" ""But you must count me in first, because the mission is dangerous..."" ""and Shekhar is going"" "You know the politics involved in the police" "I didn't want to take any risks, I had the minister call up the Commissioner" "He reasoned with him, "Count Shekhar in, he is honest..."" ""Shekhar is..."" " Brave" "Right. "Shekhar is..."" " Brilliant" ""This mission is impossible without Shekhar"" "Listen to me" "Know where he wanted to send me?" "He asked me to escort his kids to Shahrukh's new movie premiere... to be photographed with him." "That's the last thing a brave man would do" "Here you are, Sawant-sahib." "Strong tea" "Hey traitor..." "lqbal-bhai... have some food." "You'll die of starvation" "The cops have a bad name anyway." "You're the one who'll die... and it'll be our funeral!" "Stop bothering me." "Eat it up" "Mhatre... why're you pestering him?" " He refuses to eat" "He'll eat when he's hungry." "Hey... you want something to eat?" "No, he won't." "Something to drink...?" "No." "When he's hungry, he'll ask for it" "The officer asked me to feed him." " The officer did?" "The officer said you must have something" "Ingrate!" "You couldn't digest our stuff?" "Tell the officer... he has had what he had to" "He won't be hungry till this evening." "Give me those wadas" "Yes, Jaya... yes, I've made all arrangements for the reception" "Yes, I've had a word with the caterer too" "There will be nothing lacking in the food and drinks" "The florist will come to you, show you a lot of pictures... you must decide on something only after considering the budget, okay?" "Yes, we've got to buy a gift for the groom." "Don't worry" "Tell Sarika that I'm going to get a great watch... one minute" "Which make is this watch?" "It's Panera." "German make" "I'll get Panera." "A German product" "How much is it worth?" " 5000..." "Ask him to show us half a dozen of those watches..." "No, sir." "It isn't worth 5000 rupees." "It's 5000 Dollars" "Jaya." "Listen... we'd rather go in for an Indian watch" "Yes, I'll talk to you later" "I got it as a gift" "Did I ask him?" "Mahalaxmi!" "Wake up!" "Mahalaxmi, wake... when you doze off beside the driver, the driver feels sleepy too" "Talk to me!" " You're the one who talks... rather you say something." " So you're taking a dig at me, okay!" "Tell me something." "How did you get the name Mahalaxmi?" "My parents gave me the name." "Why?" "Do you have a problem?" "No, no problem really" "But whenever I talk to you, I feel as if I am addressing a building!" "What?" " Oh yes!" "There are so many buildings in Mumbai named after you" "Like Mahalaxmi Chambers, Mahalaxmi Departments, Mahalaxmi Apartments..." "Mahalaxmi Society..." "Mahalaxmi Station, Mahalaxmi Race Course... and Mahalaxmi Lottery..." "I often buy it!" "Today I've won it" "Shooting!" " Shooting?" "Where...?" "Rambo!" "It's a film shooting." "Don't pull out the rod all the time" "I wish our lives were like the movies." "It would've been so much of fun" "What fun?" " A hell of a lot of fun!" "Man could say anything he wants to so openly, so brazenly... swaying all the way, what fun!" "Do you know how to dance?" "Those blue eyes are going to be the end of me!" ""My heart is immersed..."" ""in these blue eyes, my heart is immersed"" ""My love, you ought to know..."" ""I'm a crazy lover." "I could do anything for you"" ""Yours is the love I live for...""

""I could do anything for you"" "Looks like it'll take a couple of hours" "There's another narrow lane" "If we take that, we'll get to the highway in four kilometers, sir" "Clear out!" "Move aside..." "Step aside" "Make way..." "C'mon, sir" "Clear out... out!" "C'mon, c'mon" "Get back" "You've landed in a soup, DCP." "What are you going to do now?" "Who are you looking around for?" "Mhatre, keep an eye on Ansari!" "I'll be back soon!" "Get out!" "Quick!" "Well?" "Why did you Who asked you to?" "Thank God, nothing happened to him" "But why not?" "He isn't such a fool to risk his life... just show his face, and take to his heels" "There's surely something he came to do" "But why didn't he do it?" "Or did he do something before he left?" "There I was, on Ansari's van..." "I didn't let anyone get closer" "That leaves this jeep" "Who was in the jeep?" "Back!" "Back!" "Back off!" "Looks like they were civilians." "The sight of this gave them a scare" "Or probably they come to see who's dead and who's alive?" "We have a problem, sir" "The van won't start" "Our van has stalled..." "What can I do?" "We wish to stay here for a while" " Mr D'Mello is not at home" "I'll talk to Mr D'Mello." "It's only for a few hours" "The master won't agree." " It's only for a few hours, I say" "Our master won't say anything" "It's him, isn't it sir?" "The Pakistani agent?" "I saw him on TV!" "In my house." " Who else is there in your house?" "There's Ramdas-kaka and me." "I'm Nandan." "The cook" "I don't have a network here." "And you...?" " The network doesn't work here, sir" "But our phone is working." "Please be seated." "I'll get some water" "Kamlesh..." " Yes, sir?" "Take Ansari inside and stay with him" "Ghorpade, fix the van" "Shekhar, Ashwin, Mhatre..." "seal all entry and exits" "Who's this?" " Anant speaking, sir" "There was an attack on our jeep, a blast..." "Tell me your exact location." "I'll rush a police team immediately" "Sir, it's the bungalow on the dusty road along the Pirbar Road" "And listen, don't move from there" "Hey!" "Who's paying for the phone call?" "Why are you asking the officer?" "How much is it?" "I'll pay you" "How much?" " 30 rupees" "How would there be any money in your pockets?" "You guys get everything for free" "Okay, I'll pay him." " And I'll repay you later" "Don't forget to collect it" "All they can do is to borrow, not to repay" "Get off!" "Come with me, Mahalaxmi." "Don't be afraid" "But who's afraid?" " There could be anything here" "A rat, a snake or a scorpion." " I'm not scared of them" "Aren't you scared of them?" " No" "Aren't you scared of anything?" "I used to be, when I was a child." " Of what?" "When I wouldn't sleep, my mother used to say, "Go to sleep, my child..."" ""else, the police will arrive"" " You've made bandits out of the cops!" "Know what?" "There could be ghosts here, even spirits of the buffaloes" "Ghosts?" " But you needn't be afraid" "I'm here." "Where there is danger, there is Shekhar." "Sit here... all night, I'll stay with you and protect you" "Not to worry." "To hell with the ghost!" "Know what?" "Take this blanket and go to sleep" "Go to sleep." "Go on!" " I..." "I'm fine!" "Don't worry about me." " How can I not?" "A ghost could do just about anything!" " Do what?" "Hey Kaka!" "You're scaring a cop?" " There's no light" "Kaka, are there ghosts here?" " 18 of them" "Hear that?" "18 ghosts!" "Listen to that!" "18 ghosts?" "That's so exciting!" "Actually, I had heard so much about ghosts, but I never saw one" "But the ghosts won't venture here, with brave men like you around" "So please go." "Let me experience this!" " Listen to me, Mahalaxmi... listen to me!" "Atleast give me the torch!" "How will I go downstairs in the darkness?" "Hey Kaka!" "At least take me down with you!" "Sir, have some tea" "You must've forgotten your old friends, Mr DCP" "But I don't forget" "I neither forget, nor forgive" "What's happening here, Inspector?" "They're the five thugs who robbed the bank three days ago" "This is where they were holed up." "I asked them to surrender... and they fired at me." "At a police officer" "When I returned the fire in self-defence... the poor guys got killed." "What can I do?" "Don't act too smart, Angre" "I know the guys who robbed the bank" "And it's very obvious to me that you took a bribe from them... to kill these innocent men." "So that the case can be closed" "But your story is not working this time" "That's just what I thought." "There's something lacking in the story" "Four of them are lying there, Five men fall to my firing" "And not a single cop falls to their firing?" "At least one police officer has to die" "And if that one happens to be a senior officer... it'll breathe life into the story..." "You're going to regret it... you will deeply regret it!" "Yes, Mr D'Mello." "I had called." "Actually..." "How did it get disconnected?" "Call everyone." "We're leaving" "What does it say?" ""Send Ansari out." "Else, we're coming in"" "How many rounds on you, Ashwin?" " Three" "Seven, sir." " Mhatre?" "Two, sir" "I've got just one" "Smart move the enemy has made." "He makes us exhaust our ammo... and talks of negotiation" "How many rounds on you, Shekhar?" "What are you doing, Shekhar?" " Let's throw this dog out" "We can't let him go." " We can't keep him with us either!" "I've spoken to Mr Naidu." "The police will arrive any moment" "When will the police party arrive?" "When?" "After we're all dead?" "To file a report?" "To take a count of the bodies?" "You want us to sit here and die in hope?" "We'll fight it out, Shekhar!" " How will we fight it out?" "How?" "We've seen their firepower!" "And what do we have?" "Seven rounds, three, two... one?" "Sir, let this dog go today" "If we live, we can get hold of him again" "We're all going to die a miserable death!" "If you're so scared of death, why did you don that uniform?" "Do you know what it means to wear that uniform?" "To consider your duty to be greater than your life" "You are an unsuccessful police officer" "A failure of a police officer!" "Maybe you never took bribes, but you have achieved nothing either!" "You've been pushed around in the department all your life!" "You've gone senile with age!" "You think you will die on duty, become famous, gain martyrdom... your family will get a medal!" "But we refuse to die for your selfish motives!" "Out of my way." "Step aside!" "Till I live, I am in-charge of this mission" "He's not going anywhere." "That's my order" "To hell with your order, to hell with this job... and to hell with you!" "I knew you were dishonest" "But I see today, that you're a coward too!" "Moron!" "I'm fighting for all of us!" "It has nothing to do with your life or mine... it's a question of my conscience" "And my conscience says that the DCP is right" "Lower your gun" "You will fire at me?" "For the sake of this ISI agent, you will fire at me?" "For the sake of this traitor...?" " Shoot!" "Kill me!" "Finish me!" "You think they're chasing you to have me released?" "No!" "They're bent on killing me!" "Yes!" "I've been taking these taunts for so long!" "Traitor!" "ISI agent!" "Pakistani?" "I'm paying the price for being a Hindustani!" "The price for being an honest Hindustani!" "I will not do anything wrong" "It's necessary to conduct a post mortem on these three bodies again" "I cannot issue their death certificates right now" "Why not?" "The RMO's screaming at me!" " They did not die in the riots" "They were poisoned to death." "The bruises on them are misleading" "It could endanger your life, doctor..." " I'm sorry" "Even if I lose my job, I will not issue false death-certificates" "Listen, doctor... my name is Bhaskar Joshi." "I'm a freelance journalist" "The three bodies whose certificates..." " I can say nothing in this regard" "It's a police case." " The police is part of the conspiracy!" "There's a very big man involved in this case" "Deodhar?" " Yes." "Our Minister." "Deodhar" "He's appealing for peace today, but he's the one who engineered these riots" "What for?" " Several reasons, sir" "There's no saying how many such crimes he has committed." "For power" "Three social workers:" "Ashish Garg, Narayan Rane and Vaishali Shinde... collected evidence of his wrongdoings" "It could have exposed him" "But Deodhar got to know about it." "He called them over for a meeting... and poisoned them." "He had the bodies badly bruised... and had them tossed in riot-hit streets" "So that everybody would think that they were killed in the riots" "What... what do you want me to do?" "I have in my possession that file of Deodhar's wrongdoing" "If you could give me the post-mortem reports of these three bodies..." "I'll have it published in the newspaper with all the evidence" "Here are the reports." "If I get any more information..." "I'll let you know" "Here's my card" "Make sure you read tomorrow's newspaper" "Get me the card in the trousers I was wearing last night" "Have something to eat first." " Go ahead, brother" "If someone offered me something with so much of love..." "I'd accept even poison!" " You stay out of this" "You came late last night, didn't you?" "You know what state the city is in" "Nothing's happening in our locality, sister-in-law" "We have good folks here." " Folks are always good, Taufeeq" "Hindu or Muslim, everyone wants to live in peace" "But these politicians..." " Iqbal... what is the matter, son?" "Your wife told me you're very upset?" "No, it's nothing" "Don't worry." "I'm going to Ajmer Sharief." "I'll pray for peace and harmony" "Zafar wants to go to Ajmer too." "He has his holidays anyway" "So I thought..." " No, Zafar is not going" "Please, father!" "Please!" " No, no..." "Please!" " Okay" "But don't bother your grandma too much." " Will a wee bit do?" "Naughty boy" "The train leaves at 5." "Will you see me off?" "Mother, I'll drop you on my way to the hospital" "Bhaskar, you said you'd publish everything about Deodhar... along with my report." "But nothing has been published?" "Who's this?" " It's me." "Dr Iqbal Ansari" "Hey smartass... what do you know about Deodhar?" "What did the reporter tell you?" "You don't know me yet" "Not to worry." "He's okay" "We want to know about the riot victims..." "About that, you will have to..." "Bhaskar!" "What happened?" "What happened?" "What?" "What...?" "Call for you, sir" "Hey smartass!" "What did Bhaskar tell you before he died?" "Tell me everything." "Where is the file?" "You guys have..." " Forget those who are dead... and think about those who live" "In any case, things aren't very nice in the country" "Stop talking nonsense!" "I don't have any file!" "And even if I did..." "I wouldn't have given it to you" "Guys like Deodhar ought to be hanged publicly in the square!" "Stop this farce of being a doctor!" "Because of dishonest people like you, our entire community gets a bad name!" "What rubbish are you talking?" " Of course!" "Go and see" "They've recovered guns and explosives from your house!" "What?" " Yes." "Go and see!" "The rioteers have set your house on fire" "Go!" "Father!" "Father!" "Farida!" "Have you seen my father somewhere?" "Has anyone seen my folks?" "Did my family come here?" "Someone answer me!" "Hey smartass... you can still save your life." "Tell me where Deodhar's file is" "See?" "Just a box was unloaded at your house and it went up in flames" "Why were you quiet all this time?" " What could I say?" "And who could I say it to, officer?" "Who...?" "To the police who themselves planted the guns in my house... and had me implicated?" "Or should it have been the press... who labelled me a terrorist without even getting to know the truth?" "Who should I have spoken to?" "Nothing will happen even if I speak." "My death is inevitable" "But if you wish to live, leave me here and go away" "Because you've been sent here to die with me, not take me away from here" "Sorry... for arriving at the wrong time, uninvited" "Can't help it, the government job is such" "Don't be surprised, DCP" "I'm doing it for the sake of the government you are working for" "The only difference is that you are paid in cheque... and I'm paid in cash" "Albeit, a little more than you" "Politics is a strange thing" "You are sent to stop me, and I'm sent to knock you off" "Where's Dr Ansari?" "Shekhar, the smartass, is missing, so is the kid Ashwin" "Want to play?" "So let's play" "Natwar, find the bastards" "Mahalaxmi..." "will you examine me?" "Let me go." "What have I done?" "What have I done?" " Shut him up!" "Leave him alone" "Always eager to die, DCP" "Beautiful wife, lovely daughter" "Sadly, you could not belong to them" "All your life you've been playing the policeman in Khaki" "So... after you are gone, I'll take care of the mother and daughter" "Mac, aim at his temple" "If the DCP moves, make a sieve out of all of them" "Slap your boss" "No" "I won't" "If you don't, his head will be blown off" "I won't" "Kalwa..." " Yes sir?" "Did you hear?" " No, sir" "Did you hear when I was smacked?" " Yes, sir" "He must hear" "Kalwa..." " Heard, sir" "Shoot me" "Kill me" "Later" "First your boss's head will be blown off" "No, no." "Don't do this, sir" "Don't do this, sir" "I see." "Mac!" "This is what you call a slap" "It hurts both the hunter and the victim" "You hit me here..." "on the skin" "I hit you right there..." "your conscience" "That's a slap!" "For what you did to me..." "I could've killed you right after I was released from jail" "But I knew that life meant nothing to you" "Duty, self-esteem, respect..." "they mean the life to you" "To begin with, I wanted to scratch those things off you" "And this is my chance" "You will go back unsuccessful." "You will be maligned" "You will be stripped of your uniform." "You will be regarded with contempt" "Only then will I be at peace" "Your ideas hardly matter" "Only the tempest will decide the fate of the light" "The lamp that has the gas will stay lit" "Some people are hiding inside the storehouse" "Let's see your best shot" "C'mon, get out of here!" "Ansari!" "Sir, the blood's not stopping" "Must take him to the hospital at once" "Hurry up" "Did Ansari speak?" "We traced a few hangouts of the terrorists" "How did they know that you guys are coming?" "Sir, I'd like to change my travel plans" "I sent a police team over..." "where are you?" "How's Ansari?" "He's hit, isn't he?" "Ansari is hit" "How do you know?" "It was only between my men... and Angre" "Ansari is still alive" "And we will certainly take him to court" "Inform your bloody father..." "Deodhar" "I have extracted the bullet, but the patient is in a bad shape" "He needs to be kept under observation for a couple of days" "You guys can go back" "This... mission is over for you" "By now you must've realised that those who have sent us on this mission... they themselves don't want Ansari to reach the court" "Yet... if we keep the fight on... we'll be taking on the government" "We'll be fighting against the entire system" "In which case... taking Ansari to court will be almost impossible" "Besides, suppose we manage to take him to court... the government will surely take revenge on us" "It'll suspend us" "We'll be sacked" "We might even be jailed" "I have decided to stay on till the end" "You guys are young" "You have an entire life ahead of you" "I would like you to go back" "You want to do all the noble deeds all by yourself" "I have committed too many sins" "But now that I've got an opportunity to wash away my sins... you are trying to snatch it away" "I'm not going back" "I was rude to you... last night..." "I'm sorry" "But please sir, I'm not going back" "I'm going with you" "If you don't take me along..." "I'll follow you... till the very end" "Follow you, I surely will" "Me too, sir." "Till the very end" "I'm also going with you." "I don't care if I'm sacked" "I'm also with you, sir... but only as long as we take Ansari to Mumbai" "After that, I'm quitting" "I would also like to go with you, sir" "From now on, no contact with Mumbai" "What are you upto?" "Why talk of quitting?" "People like me ought to quit" "But look at me." "I'm the one who's starting afresh" "But you want to quit the job" "Why do you want to quit the job?" "Why must I do this kind of a job?" "During the course of this mission..." "I have learnt that, what I wish to do... the reason I joined the police force..." "I won't be allowed to do" "And what they would force me to do, is unacceptable to my conscience" "You want me to salute criminals like Deodhar and Naidu?" "Look, they are..." "Did I wear this uniform to do their bidding?" "Give me one good reason to wear this uniform" "Sir, the superintendent is here" "You guys are coming with me to the police station" "Look... say what you want to the commissioner and the minister" "I have orders to take Ansari under my custody and relieve you" "I'm only performing my duty" "What is your duty?" "Tell me" "What is our duty?" "Protect the righteous" "Destroy evil... isn't that our motto?" "Look behind" "That's our objective" "Protect good people" "Destroy the evil" "But... what are we doing?" "For money... for promotions... we lick the soles of politicians like Deodhar" "As for duty, Dr Ansari was performing his duty in Chandangarh" "And that bastard Deodhar ruined his life" "Inspector Thate was performing his duty" "Ghorpade too" "The soldiers were performing duty, who died a meaningless death" "For this very duty's sake, we've been battling death for the last 48 hours" "And our own department is bent on bumping us off" "That Deodhar has been continuously raping the law... because, our own officer Naidu is playing his pimp" "Damn it!" "Let alone the criminals... if the police department wishes, and if the government decides... no one can even snatch a child's toy in the city" "But the truth is that we policemen... are hoods in licenced clothing, who, in the name of duty... do nothing but behave inhumanely with innocent, helpless people." "That's it" "A municipal worker is a better individual than we are" "He wears a Khaki just like us, but climbs down a gutter... to clean the city's filth!" "Mr Satam... my duty tells me to take Ansari to court... and get him justice" "And I will do that" "If your duty tells you to stop me... you can shoot me, no second thoughts" "I'm taking him with me" "It's the Additional Commissioner Naidu" "Satam here, sir." "I had been to the hospital." "I have brought them to the police station" "Hold them there" "Get this clear." "It's a matter of our prestige" "It's the minister's orders." " We're investigating, sir" "No, we didn't find the people we came looking for" "I'll call you up as soon as I have news" "Thanks for reminding me about my duty" "You can stay here until Dr Ansari gets well" "What are you doing here, Shekhar?" "What are you thinking about?" "What will I think of, Mahalaxmi?" "Whatever I thought, was all wrong" "Whatever I did, was all wrong" "Whatever I understood was also all wrong" "My parents, I never knew, I never saw" "I grew up on my own and always thought of my own self" "I could never become a good human being... nor a good police officer." " Don't say that, Shekhar" "If we're alive today, it's only because of you" "We could escape that bomb, and get out of that house" "That's not how it is" "In fact, even with you, my intentions weren't any good" "And now?" "Now..." "I want to become a good human being." "Like the DCP" "I know it's a difficult path to tread" "But tread this path, I surely will" "I'm with you, Shekhar" "I will walk with you" "How you seen these men around?" " No, sir" "Any news?" " Angre's at it" "And the police in the area are looking for him" "All this has happened because of you, Naidu!" "Only because of you!" "You got your men to plant the weapons in Ansari's house... you had him arrested" "But that moron couldn't even get the file from Ansari!" "You guys couldn't make him talk either!" "You know why he's quiet?" "Because he no longer trusts the police" "And he wants to strip me in the courts!" "And he's gotten out of our hands!" " I had suggested killing him... there in Chandangarh itself." "But you turned me down" "You first wanted the file, before it fell into someone else's hands" "But you needn't worry." "Ansari will be found" "Naidu, how did you get up here?" "I took the elevator." " And I climbed the staircase" "To reach this height, I have climbed every step of crime!" "I have walked over dead bodies to get where I am today" "A few of them were my own men." "But I trampled upon them to get here" "That file contains damaging wrongdoings I have committed" "If it falls in the hands of the media, it would..." "I'm going to become the Chief Minister in just a few months" "No, no... never!" "I'm not losing this round!" "For this, I have staked my life and all I have!" "Ansari's not reaching the courts alive." "And only I must have that file" "There are some people from the media, sir" "They want information on the Ansari case" "Tell them, we have nothing to say." " But we do... we do" "Tell them that I'm coming in a while" "What you and Angre could never achieve... the public will now accomplish" "The team led by DCP Anant Srivastav which had gone to bring... the terrorist Ansari from Chandangarh to Mumbai, has gone missing" "The police suspect that the team has connived with the ISI... and let Ansari get away" "The team includes DCP Anant Srivastav..." "Senior Inspector Shekhar Varma, Inspector Ashwin Gupte..." "Head Constable Kamlesh Sawant and constable Gajanan Mhatre" "If you receive any information on them... contact the nearest police station immediately" "Ansari!" "What are you doing?" "Why do you want to save me?" "Let me die!" "You must live, Ansari!" "You must!" " What for?" "And for whom?" "Is what I have gone through, any less...?" "Must I live to see the ruin of my mother and my son?" "There's no other reason for me to live" "We can't alter what you have been through" "Together, however, we can try to ensure... that no other Ansari goes through all this" "And so you will have to help us, go with us to the court... so that we can fight a battle for justice together" "Sir, Mr Satam had telephoned" "He says it's all over TV that we've sold out to the ISI" "That we have disappeared with Ansari" "Sir, people are getting in with sticks and swords" "We can leave from the rear entrance, sir" "No, we will leave from the front door" "What are you guys watching?" "Give Ansari a thrashing!" "No!" "Who said that?" "Who was it?" "You...?" "You said that?" "You'll strike with a sword?" "C'mon Come and kill Ansari" "Hit him... attack!" "Why don't you hit him now?" "Here you are." "Hit me instead!" "Kill me!" "Who else wants to kill Ansari?" "Speak up!" "Show me your face!" "Bloody nincompoops!" "Like jackals, you will attack from behind!" "Why don't you look at me in the eye?" "You need courage to look at someone in the eye and attack him!" "And courage is by possessed by the one who's honest at heart!" "Ansari is a traitor!" "He must be punished!" "You will punish him...?" "Are you the police?" "Are you a judge?" "Or are you a hangman?" "Who gave you this right?" "If he's indeed guilty, he will be punished in court!" "We're taking him to the court!" " How will you take him to court?" "You have yourself sold out!" "I feel pity for people like you" "Every time, all the time, you are led astray" "You are used!" "They make you burn your houses with your own hands... while they watch in glee, and yet you refuse to see the truth?" "That's exactly what is happening today!" "Without knowing the truth, you'll spill out on the roads, with swords in hand!" "I know what the truth is!" "Look at this..." "I have shed blood for the truth!" "I have courted death!" "If you think you are right and can play with death... come here and try to stop us" "Else, get out of the way" "The Superintendent Mr Satam has already telephoned" "Normally, no train stops at this station during the daytime" "But a service train will stop here specially for you" "It will drop you at Kalyan and proceed from there" "Yes, daddy." "I'll get there soon" "You were told not to make calls, weren't you?" "You are a police officer." "Maybe your folks can understand this" "But my daddy can't figure all this out" "The moment he heard my voice, he heaved a sigh of relief" "You didn't tell him where we are, did you?" "Inspector Shekhar Varma, having spent so many days with the police..." "I've got to know what to reveal and what not to" "But I sure told him about you" "Me?" "What did you say?" "Just that a handsome and dashing police officer... will take him home safely" "Who will one day take me away from my house and be rid of all his problems" "No!" "No!" "You swear...?" "You really said that?" ""This much I promise you in love..."" ""we shall never be separated"" ""God knows who my heart beats for"" ""How much do I love...?" "You have no idea"" ""God knows who my heart beats for"" ""This much I promise you..."" ""I could forget the world..."" ""such is the love I have for you"" ""Call it the mischief of a vagabond..."" ""or call it plain madness"" ""My heart has heard your heart..."" ""you are my beloved"" ""There are no distances between us anymore..."" ""it's the doing of our love"" ""God knows who my heart beats for"" ""This much I promise you in love..."" ""we shall never be separated"" ""God knows who my heart beats for"" "Damn it, junior!" "I was in a great romantic mood and you had to ruin everything" "Know what?" "Once Ansari's case is dealt with..." "I'll marry Mahalaxmi." "I'll have a few kids..." "I'll buy a flat..." " Ansari's in a bad way" "We must rush him to the hospital immediately" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "What are you staring at?" "Mother, someone's here" "What's your name, son?" " Who is it?" "I'm sub-inspector Ashwin Gupte" "Oh yes, I know!" "He had told me." "You went with him to Chandangarh" "When did you arrive?" " Today" "In the morning." " I was scared when I watched the news" "So I went to the temple, offered a prayer..." "I was going to the temple again" "Where's he?" "Did he go to fetch you a soft-drink?" "Come in, please" "No... it's okay" "What's the matter?" "Something serious?" "He's not here...?" "Is he... all right?" "What happened?" "He won't return" "Your husband was a very brave man" "He fought valiantly" "Never cowered" "In his last moments he missed you terribly" "He said you are very brave" "Home... the kid and everything..." "you will take care of, he said" "Right." "Those must've been his words" "I was very scared before... when he used to go to work at nights" "I used to tell him that... people go to work in the morning, come back in the evening... play with their children, and sleep in peace" "I used to constantly tell him... to quit his job" "He then lovingly made me see reasons" "He used to say, "Are you crazy?"" ""A man in uniform keeps guard on the street..."" ""that's why everyone sleeps peacefully"" "Before I could force him to quit the job... everything stands..." "Mother, what happened?" "Is daddy coming?" ""Kamlesh Sawant"" "Careful" "Watch it" "Take him to the casualty ward" "Sir, I need to talk to you" "Wait... he's dead, sir" "No, no way" "Ansari... you can't do this to us" "You can't betray us, Ansari" "Get up" "Get up" "Why are you silent, sir?" "Has the ISI bribed you?" "I don't care what people think of me... what they take me for" "I consider it my duty to tell you everything" "The truth is..." "How long will you sit like this?" "Let's call the municipality... and hand the body over to them." "Your son was a traitor... so he's not going to find a pallbearer" ""O Lord..."" ""have mercy"" ""Allah..."" ""have mercy"" ""I pray to You..."" ""have mercy on me, Allah"" ""Have mercy, Lord"" ""The helpless will find support..."" ""The drowning will find shores..."" ""the storm will subside at once..."" ""at one gesture from You"" ""If You bestow Your kindness upon us..."" ""we shall be delivered of all miseries"" ""Allah, have mercy"" "Let alone the people, I won't even believe God" "Had my son been guilty... these four gentlemen wouldn't have become his pallbearers" "They wouldn't give him such a respectful funeral" "What difference does it make?" "Ansari is dead, the case is shut too" "The case isn't over as yet" "We have buried Ansari, not the case" "Hear that?" "Hear what that man says?" "With cases, men are buried alive" "And this man is talking of keeping a dead man's case alive" "You were the one who picked this officer" "His words hardly matter." " It won't matter to you" "You relate only with the position, not with the one who holds it" "Don't worry, I'll talk to him" "Have some tea" "Look, you don't need to worry over trivia" "This enquiry, press conference..." "it's all make-believe" "You guys won't be harmed" "So, stop making absurd statements... and try to understand me" "I'm making you the Additional Commissioner" "The Commissioner's position will follow" "You will be rich when you retire" "I'll promote your friends, too" "And Ansari?" "He was a traitor." "He's dead" "Don't think." "Marry your daughter off grandly" "I'll take care of the expenses" "Thank God... that I don't distrust the law yet" "Else, I'd have ripped your tongue off and handed it over to you" "Look Anant..." " Say what you want... in court, okay?" "What will happen in court, eh?" "History is witness." "All the scams, all the cases, all the enquiries... all the commissions against ministers and politicians... came to what?" "Nought" "No minister has ever been punished, nor ever will" "That's our country's unwritten law" "This law will change, Deodhar" "And it will take off from you" "Pray it happens so" "Because, if it doesn't happen that way..." "I'll thrash the hell out of you" "I'll turn you into a body of wounds" "Even Pain will lose its bearings" "We're running short of time" "Deodhar is watching us" "Arrest warrants may come up against all of us, anytime" "Can't help it, sir" "Poor Ansari died for no reasons" "We have neither witness, nor evidence" "No clue to reach the truth, either" "One minute" "Tell me" "It was Mhatre." "I had asked him... to trace the journalist Bhaskar's family, who died in Chandangarh" "His son has been traced." "Here's his address" ""Oh, the spell you have cast"" ""Dark seems the day"" ""Oh, the spell you have cast"" ""He plays with my tresses..."" ""holds me in his arms..."" ""he's such an amazing lover"" ""Here I come..."" ""seizing you with euphoria..."" ""robbing you of peace..."" ""spewing a sweet venom over you"" ""Such is the magic of my lips"" ""Such is the magic of my lips"" ""Is there a lover like me?"" ""Slowly and gently..."" ""my heart races"" ""It will rage like fire"" ""It will pine all my life"" ""Such is the ecstasy in my heart"" ""Such is the ecstasy my lover offers me"" ""He's such an amazing lover"" ""Oh, what a spell you have cast"" "about Deodhar or any files" "Try to remember, Chandu." "Your father gave his life for a noble cause" "Don't you want his mission to be successful?" "So what am I to do?" "There are all types of people who are bothering me with such questions" "They even thrashed me." "I'm trying to hide from them" "Father is dead." "My mother went mad seeing him dying" "One minute." "Your father died in Chandangarh" "How could your mother see him die?" "They showed it on TV." "I recorded it" "So far 71 people have died in the Chandangarh communal riots... 213 injured, and 3000 rendered shelterless" "Yes Mahalaxmi?" " Where have you been for two days?" "I'll tell you once I'm free." "Listen..." "I've traced the file." " Great!" "I want to meet you now" "Not now, later." " Now, Shekhar" "Try to understand, Mahalaxmi." " Just tell me where you are" "I'll be right over." " Okay, come to the GPO" "I've found the file" "It's in the locker at GPO, sir." "That's where I'm headed" "I'll meet you right there" "You're going to be put away for a long time, Deodhar" "He was about to raise and alarm and ruin your game" "So I put him to sleep You found the file?" "Give it to me" "Take this and leave." "I'll stop them" "But you...?" " Don't worry about me" "It's necessary for this packet to reach Mr Anant" "Give it only to him." "Okay?" "Shekhar!" "Mahalaxmi!" "Perplexed and horrified!" "But what can I do?" "Love is a strange thing" "It makes a fool out of a perfectly sensible man" "You were doing duty for the government... and my love was doing duty for me" "And you guys didn't even suspect anything" "She went with you guys at my behest" "So that we could find this file" "She made a fool out of all of you" "Shekhar, we went to the GPO." "Where are you?" "Very smartly, she stayed with all of you... so that she could tell me about every move, every plan you made" "The way I arrived at the bungalow... brought an empty train to the station... is all thanks to this blue-eyed girl!" "Mahalaxmi!" "With Angre...?" "She called me in your presence" "I'm her old and unfortunate father" "Shekhar, get out of there!" "To mix business and pleasure is not a good thing" "You went wrong in your duty, but not me" "This advise will help him only in his next birth" "Any last wish?" "Don't ever tell anyone how I was killed" "Or people will lose faith in love" "And she'll be the one to fire the first bullet at me" "If you don't take me with you, I'm going to follow you... to the very end" "But, sir... follow you, I surely will" "I'm proud of you, Inspector Shekhar" "Even in death, you have performed your duty" "No... try to understand, Anant" "Deodhar has high connections" "You can't do anything" "If a man out there on the streets." "Said this out of helplessness..." "I could understand it" "Driven by his obsession for power... if a politician like Deodhar said this, I could still understand it" "Even if a mad and insane man like Angre said it..." "I could understand it too!" "But you, you bastard... you had sworn to protect the law with me!" "And you're saying this?" "You're saying it...?" "Don't!" "Don't hit me, please!" "I'm with you!" "All the way!" "I don't need you" "I've found Mahalaxmi, sir." "She has come out of her building" "She'll take us further" "Keep me informed." "I'm coming over" "Naidu told me." "Anant is badly injured." "He's lying in the hospital" "The thorn has been removed from your path, Deodhar" "No, Deodhar, no file" "You will first transfer the money into my account... and then I'll lovingly give the file to you" "I told you, no file." "You're still asking for it!" "All right." "You will see." "It'll be there in tomorrow's newspapers" "He's transferring the money to our account" "What is this file worth, love?" "But not more than you, my love" "Some are useful in life." "Some are useful in death" "You were useful while you lived, so were you when you died" "No one gets down here" "Sir... stop it, please!" " Let me go!" "Having considered all the evidence at hand... this court has reached the conclusion... that the charges levelled against Dr Iqbal Ansari are false and baseless" "This court therefore sentences minister Deodhar..." "Additional Commissioner Shrikant Naidu and Yashwant Angre to Life lmprisonment" "Always walk with your head held high, son" "Your father was a very good man" "His upbringing and education shall now be my responsibility" "Revenge is a strange thing." "Like wine" "The older it gets, the bigger its kick" "You will regret it." "You will deeply regret it" "Take him away" "Where will this kid take me?" "I'll go now." "But see you soon" "Stop the van!" "Stop it!" "Hurry up and load the rifle." "And fire at the van" "Sir, this is Sub-lnspector Ashwin Gupte speaking" "Bad news, sir." "Angre tried to grab the constable's gun and run away" "When I asked him to surrender, he fired at us" "I returned the fire and he was wounded" "Yes, he's alive." "We're taking him to the hospital... but there are bleak chances of his survival" "The van's ready, sir" "I don't know!" "Father..." " My child!" "Go inside!" "Where've you hidden it?" "Speak!" "Let him go!" "He knows nothing..." " Hurry up and speak" "What's all this...?" "And this?" "I swear it on God!" "We don't know!" " Where did it come from?" "You don't know, eh?" "Your son Ansari...?" "Where is he?" "Where is Ansari?" "Name your accomplices!" "Who are they?" "Speak!" "Tell us!" "You bite the hand that feeds you?" "We're going to make you talk for sure." "Speak... say something!" "Traitor!" "Scoundrel!" "Why don't you say something?" "Are the ISI guys your lords and masters?" "Lower the gaze!" "Where did you get the weapons from?" "Speak!" "All these weapons were recovered from Iqbal Ansari's house... which proves that Iqbal Ansari is an agent of the ISI and... is associated with a terrorist group." "Perhaps he had a role to play... in the riots that broke out recently" "We have therefore arrested him under the anti-terrorist law" "We have come across clues... that expose their conspiracy to attack many places in Mumbai" "He will be presented before a special court" "Inspector Thate will take a special team to escort him to Mumbai tomorrow" "Bastard!" "You think they will have you freed?" "This isn't a problem restricted to Chandangarh in my constituency" "It's a problem the whole nation faces" "The communal riots, the open attack by terrorists on a police team... are all part of the proxy war that is being waged against us... by our neighbour through their intelligence agency, the ISI" "Earlier, it was the uneducated and illiterate people... who were brainwashed into helping the ISI" "But now, educated people like Ansari have begun to become their agents" "This is an alarming situation." "We will have to crush this network" "For that, the Mumbai police will have to rush a team to Chandangarh... and present the terrorist Ansari before the court on the appointed day" "Yes, it's not an easy task" "I have therefore requested Additional Commissioner Mr Naidu... to carefully pick the team that he is dispatching to Chandangarh" "Eight police officers have been killed in trying to bring Ansari to Mumbai" "And nothing has still changed in the situation or the working conditions... or even in the element of danger." " Is there someone on your mind?" "DCP Anant Srivastav" "And that is how you and we have been serving the nation" "The only difference is, we sport khadi (hand-spun fabric)... and you wear the khaki" "They want to silence him with claps, but he..." "I know." "And very well too." "That you wish to listen to me further" "But because time is scarce..." "Thank you" "The chief of the academy Mr Anant will now say a few words to his students" "Mr Anant Kumar" "Your Papa's fast asleep!" "Mr Anant Kumar..." "Forgive me, I happened to doze off" "I had no idea that the honourable minister would start his speech... with anecdotes of 1942" "I was all attention till 1974-1975, after which..." "I dozed off" "However, it has nothing to do with your speech... it has to do with my age" "I'm very grateful to the honourable minister and his likes because... they have taken great care of my comfort" "Whenever there were incidents of crime or riots in my area..." "I was immediately transferred to a peaceful place... so that I could live there in comfort" "From one place to another and so on and so forth... and when they couldn't find a peaceful place at all... they posted me here in the academy, amidst all of you" "That was a great speech, sir" "Enough, don't flatter me so much" "No, sir." "We are really very fortunate... to have received training under you" "Your real training begins now" "And you will have to stand a test at every step" "In the discharge of your duties... in your struggle against dirty politics, corruption... and communalism that has now come to grip the nation" "At that hour, you will have just one teacher" "Your own conscience." "Your integrity" "Make sure you preserve it" "What else will I say?" "I wish you achieve everything..." "I couldn't achieve in my career" "Yes...?" "Yes, I'm coming." "In just a moment" "That's another duty." "Towards my wife" "My daughter's getting married, there's so much to do" "Look, you must all attend the wedding" "You've put them up only here?" "I want them there and there..." "I want lights everywhere." " It will be done, Madam" "There are still two weeks to go for the wedding" "Two weeks indeed!" "The guests will start pouring in soon... and the master will be very angry" "Three here... one here..." "Why're you being so stingy?" "I want the house full of flowers." " Don't worry, lady..." "I'll make sure your house is as scented as a rosegarden" "Mummy, please come here" "What happened?" " Look at this, Mummy" "It's so tight, I can't breathe!" " What's this, tailor?" "Didn't you get the measurements right?" " The measurements were right... but looks like the kid has put on weight in the happiness of the wedding" "When is this picture from?" "May 1988." "My sister had come over from Bangalore during the vacations" "We had all gone to Mahabaleshwar." "You were supposed to come there too" "Because of some case, you couldn't get there" "Which case I was working on and when... you even remember the day, month and the year" "But I know nothing of what you were doing and when" "I don't remember half the pictures... and I'm not there in most of them." " They're just pictures, Anant" "No" "They're about a whole lifetime... which I've just witnessed..." "not participated in" "What you were busy doing was also very necessary" "I gave thirty years to the department" "Whatever work I was given, I did with all my heart." "I never protested" "What happened is in the past, sir" "But I don't know why, but I feel today... that it was an expensive bargain." "Please be seated" "According to the department, I was never a good police officer" "And my wife has a million grievances against me" "My daughter has her own share of complaints" "Her father was never around for her" "Tomorrow she's going away, sir" "I must at least stay around when she's leaving" "I understand everything you say, Anant" "But don't you think this case, this mission, is the opportunity... you have always waited for?" "Anant, this case is extremely sensitive" "And you are the only one I can trust" "But there are only 12 days to go for the wedding, sir" "This is a matter of only 3 days!" "After that you can return home... but those who died in Chandangarh, and those... we owe them a debt, Anant" "You will understand that this is not an easy task" "There is a power that will do its best to ensure... that Ansari does not reach Mumbai." " Whatever the power sir... we are determined" "71 people have died." "Several were injured" "Thousands were rendered homeless." "They're out on the streets" "They're all people of my constituency." "My own people" "I don't know how we will compensate their monetary losses" "But they must atleast get justice" "The whole state has pinned its hopes on you" "I promise to preserve the honour of the uniform, sir" "It was a very high-level meeting" "The Commissioner, Mr Naidu, and even the Minister... chose your husband to go on this very important mission" "It ought to be a matter of pride for you" "Oh yes, I'm proud too" "There's also a wedding in the family in 12 days, Mr DCP" "As far as the DCP is concerned, he's not going to be present at the wedding" "Hush!" "You talk any rubbish!" " The one who will attend it... will be the Additional Commissioner of Police, Anant Kumar Srivastav" "What?" "Really?" "That's what I heard." "That I'm surely getting a promotion this time" "Naidu dug out the news." "Don't tell anyone yet" "After the newspaper carry the news..." " Finally they've seen sense" "This promotion ought to have come 10 years ago" "Never mind." "It's okay" "So you're happy, aren't you?" "After years, I feel... that I'm worthy of something too" "How are you doing?" " So?" "Inspector with an attitude?" "That's not true." " Oh come on!" "You didn't even telephone after returning from your training" "And I left so many messages!" " I got all the messages and..." "Forget all that." "You're giving us a treat the day after tomorrow" "Not the day after tomorrow." "I'm going out." "On an important assignment" "You will, if I let you go!" " What are you doing, Rishita?" "There are people watching!" " So?" "I'm in my uniform." "It has a certain status in the people's eyes" "What have you done?" "You drink and drive in broad daylight?" "Let me have your licence." " He's wrecked everything, sir!" "Here's 50 rupees." " What the hell is this?" "I asked for the licence." "So give it to me!" "Sorry, sir." "Here's a hundred" "You try to bribe me?" "You bribe a police officer?" "Let him go, sir..." "I'll deal with him." "Please go ahead, sir" "What mistake did I make?" "I was paying him according to his stars 10 rupees for a single band, 20 for two... 50 rupees for an officer with stars." "I was paying him 100 rupees" "If there's a hike in your charges, you must let us know" "He just can't start hitting me" "What's the name?" " Ashok Yadav" "This place you're going to... is it very dangerous?" " Who told you?" "Mala." " Mala who?" "Mangesh's wife, of course" "What does that mean?" " They're crazy" "What do they know?" "Dangerous, my foot" "And where isn't it dangerous?" "You cook on the LPG, don't you?" "That's dangerous too" "When I cross a road, that's dangerous too" "They talk some nonsense and you listen to them... and come here to chew on my brains." " As I was saying..." "Shut up, will you?" "Just skip the nonsense!" "Why're you yelling at me?" "Can't you reason with me politely?" "It's your wife you're talking to" "You aren't talking to a thief or a thug" "All right." "Now don't start crying" "For a year, I've been telling you that I want to visit my mother" "You say yes, but then you go away on duty" "I'm coming back in 3 days." "I'll take you to your mother then" "Promise?" " Of course" "I'll even bring an embroidered sari for you" "Don't tell me!" "Father, my bat has broken." " So let's buy a new one" "You're my Sachin Tendulkar" "Nice to see him awake" "Else, whenever I saw him, he was asleep" "It's as if he grew up in his covers." " How's he to blame?" "You go away for days on end." "That's how your duty is" "Don't take a dig at me." " Don't take a dig at me!" "Wait..." "let's go" "Constable, how did you get in?" "Get down!" "Why're you getting worked up, madam?" "There's a lot of eve-teasing taking place nowadays" "The government has therefore decided to give womenfolk some security" "Rambo, the gang's going on a picnic." "You're coming, aren't you?" "No, I've been screwed." "I've got to go to Chandangarh." "On duty" "Chandangarh?" " Yes" "Okay..." "Madam... there's security ahead" "Get up Shekhar, quick!" "What the...?" "You didn't let me sleep all night" "I'm human, not a machine" "My husband is here" "Two days, he said!" "Why is he back so soon?" "What are you looking for?" " Where's my underwear?" "You're wearing it" "I'm undone" "Good Lord" "What the hell are you upto?" "Are you sane?" "How'll I arrange them?" "Good Lord!" "What are you doing?" "Inspector?" "Here?" "Again?" "Playing hide-n-seek with me, eh?" "Where have you hidden it?" "Where?" "Tell me, quick!" "What?" " Cocaine" "You quit smuggling." "You're peddling drugs now, aren't you?" "I have confirmed information this time" "Oh no sir, I wonder who this enemy is... who gives you false information, and every time you come home, searching..." "Don't lie" "I couldn't sleep all night because of you" "Sir, honestly, I have quit all illegal businesses." "Ask her" "Why don't you say something, stupid?" " She has said and done all she had to" "Now it's all upto you" "Else, you will be locked away for ten years..." "What are you offering me?" "You can have all of it." " Stay alert" "I can raid anytime." "And don't ever lie to your wife" "Never return before time" "You dig?" "Enjoy" "To Chandangarh?" "No, no way!" "I'm not crazy" "Sir, the assignment is very important." " More important than my dear life?" "Know what?" "Eight policemen had left Chandangarh with a terrorist" "Know what happened?" "They couldn't even reach the station" "Were bumped off right there" "Thank God I have connections in political circles" "I'll get it off my back" "Trust me, make an excuse and get out of the way, that's it" "Sorry sir, I can't do that" "Really?" "Really?" "Tell me something?" "Why did you join the police force?" "Come on, tell me." " Sir, since childhood..." "Enough." "I know the rest of the story" "Father was a freedom fighter, mother used to teach children..." "I'm tired of listening to such filmi stories" "Tell me honestly" "Did your parents force you?" "Or are you here for the perks?" "Yes?" "Or no?" " If anyone tries to bribe me..." "I'll break his jaw." " Bravo!" "That's what every newcomer says" "Later, they break the jaws of those who don't pay up" "Pull over, sir" "Stop" "We are to be there at the headquarter at nine tomorrow." "The DCP's orders" "This is fine" "lts cocking handle is stuck lt'll work, sir." " Mr Patkar, are we insured?" "I mean, if it gives way, we're dead" "Now why would the minister go to serve the country so early in the morning?" "I spoke to him last night." "He asked me to call up in the morning" "Give him the phone, please" "I found only four bulletproof jackets, the rest are in use already" "What?" "He's offering a prayer?" "Come on, my life is on the line" "Tell him, it's an emergency." " Sir, only four bulletproof jackets" "That's enough for the four of you." " Aren't you coming, sir?" "Either I'll come to congratulate you or to offer wreaths." "Go on" "Mr Patil, Shekhar here." " Who Shekhar?" "Inspector Shekhar." " Go on" "How are you?" " I'm fine" "How's your wife?" "Your mother?" " Come to the point" "Sir, I spoke to you last night about the Chandangarh mission" "Please take me off the list." " Impossible" "Find a way out, please." " I said, it's impossible!" "Your wife called last night." "She was telling me... about Shahrukh's new movie premiere." "She wants her children photographed" "Pandya will take them." " Bloody Pandya" "All right, sir." "Please apologise to your wife on my behalf" "Okay." " And tell the children... that uncle Shekhar is not available." "Convey my regards to grandma" "Now hang up, will you?" " Okay, sir" "Bloody swine" "All set?" " We got all that you asked for, sir" "Any personal weapons?" "Just doing some adjustments." "I don't have any more weapons" "How many rounds?" " Thirty" "You can keep them" "Mr Gupte did a very meticulous check." "He's a gold medal winner in shooting" "Did you say something?" " In the shooting range... it's very easy to hit the target." "Because dummies don't shoot back" "But a living soul does." " Right" "Anyway... we'll leave for Chandangarh at half past eleven" "And, if everything goes according to our plans... we'll be back with Ansari on the morning the day after" "But we got to pull it off very carefully... staying alert, within the framework of the law" "The enemy we're going to confront has no identity, no face" "We have no idea about the enemy's count... but we know that they are many in number" "We have no idea about their weapons... but we know they are better than ours" "We don't know how and when they will ambush us" "But we know they will attack" "To get Ansari released, they can go to any extent" "We'll leave in ten minutes" "You are a great better, sir." "What d'you think of our chances?" "Hundred percent." " Of returning?" "No." "Of going to Heaven" "There's a photographer outside the compound." "Get him" "Let's go" "Where are you taking me?" "Sir, I'm a freelancer." "Here's my I. D" "I'm paid about 250 bucks per snap" "That's how I survive, sir" "I got to know that a special team is supposed to leave for Chandangarh" "Since it's exclusive, I thought I'd make an extra buck" "What are you doing, sir?" "It's my breadwinner" "I won't make this mistake again" "Don't answer" "Rekha didn't tell me you are here" "I had already delivered the photographs" "I have nothing left here" "So what's this one doing here?" "The test photograph." "I don't know how I missed it" "My mistake" "I'll destroy this mistake" "What about the second mistake?" " Second mistake?" "Police" "Whom you have brought here." "They are standing outside" "I'll take care of them." "Trust me" "Don't worry" "Only your silence can keep me off the worry" "You mean... you will...?" "No, no!" "You can't do this" "We've been friends for so long" "My wife considers you her brother" "You can't kill me" "Please forgive me" "I won't make this mistake again" "I'll do whatever you say" "If you say, I'll quit this city" "Look..." "I have a wife... a little girl..." "They have no one but me" "My daughter will be orphaned" "Don't kill me, please." "Spare me" "What can you do for your family?" "Anything... anything" "You would even trap me" "No..." "I didn't mean that" "I won't ever do that" "This family thing is so strange" "It makes a beast out of a man... and a man out of a beast" "You're lucky, you're saved" "When did you arrive, brother?" " Just now" "What happened to you?" " Got emotional" "He loves the two of you dearly" " All right, but...?" "What would papa's girl want to be?" "She wants to be a singer." " Yes, she loves to sing" "Sing." " Sing for uncle, dear" ""Life is a season that changes every moment"" ""At times it's shade..."" ""at times life is sunny"" "Let's check" "Great." "I'll leave now" "Brother, have something before you leave" "Next time" "What's wrong with you?" "And why are you weeping?" "You look so tense...?" "Nothing" "Who?" " Police" "Open up." " Police?" "Here?" "I'll handle it, just open the door" "Answer the phone, Shweta" "If only a tomorrow comes..." "Dr Iqbal Ansari... because of a few selfish men like you... the entire community is maligned" "But you care two hoots" "Because you folks are the types... that would even put your mothers up for sale for your own gains" "I'm told that you haven't broken your silence yet" "Haven't yet spoken to anyone, right?" "I'm not here to listen to you, I'm not here to talk to you either" "Your case has come up for hearing." "I've come to take you to Mumbai" "And I'm certainly taking you" "In trying to save you... your accomplices killed eight of our men" "I have to settle that score too" "And I will, certainly" "Do or die!" "That's my resolve" "Now look, Ansari... there are two kinds of justice" "One, which is delivered inside the court... that was explained to you just now" "And the other is delivered out of court" "It suits me" "And according to me, the second one will suit you just fine" "Remember... any hitch on the way, and I'll deliver justice to you on the spot" "No court, no lawyer, no judge" "One bullet... case dismissed" "A bullet into your butt and out of your head." "You dig?" "Saw how I boxed him?" "Was that a display of courage?" "Wasn't he a cardboard target too?" "He couldn't hit back" "Bravo, bravo" "It's quits between us" "Riots..." "Ansari, his silence, the attack on the streets..." "I find this ominous, Mr Srivastav" "The sooner you take him away, the sooner I'll be at peace" "My best wishes are with you" "Best wishes?" "Or condolences?" "Sir, there's a girl, Mahalaxmi, calling from Little Angels School" "She suspects that the people put up at her place are terrorists" "Thembi Naka" "Ask her to wait for the police near the telephone booth there" "Tell her not to speak to anyone." " Yes sir" "May I go with the team?" "The photographer, Bhagol, whom you asked me to keep an eye on... he and his family have been murdered" "His house was blown off." "Four policemen died too" "Did Ansari say something suspicious?" "Sir, we have fresh information" "About a terrorist hangout" "We're on our way" "Look sir, I can walk" "I can even run" "We can't leave you behind, Darky" "Can't take you along either" "I'll be useful to you, sir" "You're fatigued, weak" "You aren't well either" "Not work, you need rest" "You seem quite relaxed, and you aren't wearing a bulletproof jacket" "Mahalaxmi had called..." "Damn Mahalaxmi!" "From the name, she appears to be around 75 years" "Born in 1936, bored of too much tv... she thinks of making a name in the neighbourhood... and calls up the police, so that she gets herself on tv" "How can you be so sure, sir?" " A policeman's instinct" "Not every policeman, I say" "God-given gift" "And my instincts are really very strong" "I can never go wrong, watch" "Men in uniform, fall behind." "Men in mufti, stay with me... as usual." "Come on" "I told you" "Did you call?" " Yes, I did" "Great" "You were born in 1936?" " My, my!" "How did you know that?" "Where are they?" " At home." "They are crying" "Cry...?" "Why are they crying?" " I told them you are coming" "Why did you tell them we're coming?" " That's how I pacified them" "They are waiting for you." " Waiting for policemen?" "You chaps are policemen?" "What did you think?" " Are you not the cable guys?" "Cable guys?" " My grandsons were watching the match" "The tv suddenly conked out." "I called up the technicians" "I've been waiting for them" "Aren't you Mahalaxmi?" " Silly, I'm Sapna." "Sapna" "Sir, your instinct failed" "That one passed" "Those blue eyes will kill me!" "Just tell me, ma'am..." " One minute, one minute" "You tell me." "Inspector Shekhar Varma." "His senior" "His senior has arrived too." "Our Deputy Commissioner" "Talk to him" "Are you sure no one ventured out yet?" " None" "I was keeping an eye." "No one came out yet" "Which room?" "That one" "Will there be shooting?" " Could be" "Tell your staff and children to lock themselves up in a room" "Ask them not to come out without my orders" "Come on, children" "It's hot" "They've just moved out." "Call for a roadblock" "Damn, not even his mother would recognise him" "Face smashed at point blank, and the gun shoved inside" "Hands burnt too..." "fingerprints, out of question" "No!" "I'll answer all your questions at the police station" "As of now, clear the corpse." " Hey lady... you are yelling as if we planted the corpse here" "They have been your guests for ten days" "Look, the trustees rented this room out" "How were they to know that they are terrorists?" "These guys said they are here to document the riots on film" "Honest criminals, I must say." "They came here for a shoot... they shot, and vanished" "She's pissed off." "Offer the lady a soft-drink" "Just tell us... of all the days, what made you inform us today?" "I saw the students playing with this in class" "That's why I called up today" "Can you recognise them?" "I haven't seen all of them properly, but..." "I could recognise a couple of them" "But... today... the man who came in the morning... his face..." "I can never forget" "Organise security for her" "Talk to the SP." "One constable with her, two outside the house..." "Look, I'm not staying here." "I'm going home to Mumbai" "I came here only for a three months' workshop with the children" "I have done my duty by calling you here" "Now you perform your duty." "Why drag me into all this?" "Look madam, the man you came face to face with today... he's not going to forget your face either." "He's a very dangerous man" "He never leaves a clue behind." "And you've witnessed it just now;... the corpse" "We're leaving for Mumbai tomorrow." "Why not take her along, sir?" "He's right" "I'll have to speak to the headquarters" "What is the guarantee that I'll be safer with you folks?" "They were here for ten days, and there was no trouble at all" "I gave you one phone call... informed nobody else... and all of sudden, all of them vanished" "Don't trust anyone, Anant." "Trust your instincts" "Sir, I would like to change my travel plans" "Do what you think is best" "And sir, what do we do with that girl, Mahalaxmi?" "As you said, her life could be in danger" "Take her along." "She could be useful in court" "Why do you want to change your travel plans?" "It's already organised" "Yes, it's organised" "Out tickets are booked for tomorrow morning in the Mumbai Express" "Bogey number S1, seat number 24 to 29" "How do you know that?" "The list is in my drawer, and the details... only I know" "Others know these details too" "I found this piece of paper where the corpse was found" "This piece of paper was under the paper... on which the details were being noted down." "The impressions stayed" "Looks like a storm is in the making" "Sir... one moment, sir" "It's Ansari's mother, sir" "The bastard doesn't talk, and this old hag won't listen to anything" "She has been camping here for a long time now... insisting on meeting you" "One moment, sir" "Please" "Sir, she'll chew your brains." "I'll drive her away" "Wait" "Open the gate" "Sir..." "Ansari's son" "I'm not educated" "I don't know what's happening out here" "But everyone is saying that my son is a traitor" "That, he is responsible for the bloodbath" "If that's true... then fie on my womb... for giving birth to such a son" "But the mother's heart says... he could be guiltless" "Right or wrong, it's upto the court to decide" "If he's guilty, hang him" "But for God's sake, help him make it to the court, sir" "Please don't shoot him on the way" "You will meet your son... in court" "What are you doing?" "Standing before a window or a door is dangerous" "Anyone can target you" "I hope I wasn't very rough...?" " Never mind" "Also, during the interrogation this morning, I was quite strict" "Actually, I'm a fool when it comes to girls" "Mhatre, why don't you take medication for the cough?" "You were saying something, Ms Mahalaxmi" "No, you were talking" "See?" "I don't know what happens to me when I'm with a girl" "How strange." "You are a policeman, yet..." "Rather, it's surprising to see such a pretty lady like you... doing social work in such a remote village" "Since childhood, I was very much impressed by social work" "That's why I joined the police force" "But here, I see politics, violence, corruption..." "I feel like quitting everything and joining you" "Mhatre!" "Sonny, will you take something?" "Or do you want me to offer it to you?" "Yes, you were saying something." " No" "This time too, you were talking" "Not again" "All these constables are expert at the wheels" "And they are well-versed with the roads of Mumbai" "Yes, the DCP is in." "But who are you?" "Who is it, Ashwin?" " Someone wants to talk to you" "Says, he's an old friend, but he won't tell his name" "Who...?" " You paid me a visit... and sadly I wasn't present" "However, I tried to talk to you when you were there" "The phone kept ringing but you never answered" "You still got a great head on your shoulders, DCP" "Smarter the quarry, merrier it is for the hunter" "Who's the hunter and who's the quarry... it will soon be known" "The call cannot be traced" "It's a place near some station." "I can hear a train" "Why are you silent, friend?" "Trying to recall something?" "You talk as if you know me" "You might've forgotten your old friends, DCP... but I never forget mine" "All lines near the stations have been disconnected, sir" "He's in some bar or restaurant near a railway station" "Neither do I forget, nor do I forgive" "All the bars and the restaurants in the city are shut" "Sarika, look who's there." " One minute" "I'm studying, mummy." "Please take a look" "Who are you?" "Who do you want to meet?" "Inside my house!" " I can reach anywhere, DCP" "Ansari, too" "You were lucky today, you are saved" "Luck must favour you all the time" "I got to be lucky just once!" "Look, if you harm my wife and child..." "Anant?" "Tell me" "Oh!" "Is everything all right there?" " Yes, fine." "Why?" "And Sarika?" " She's with me" "What's the matter?" " Nothing..." "I just missed the two of you" "The constables are outside, aren't they?" "Yes, they are" "Anant, you seem tense." "What is it?" "It's all right." "Go to bed" "Felt good." " What do you mean?" "When danger scrapes past me, it feels really good" "I'm always on the lookout for such shaves" "Playing with danger has been a passion since childhood" "Where there is Shekhar, there's danger" "Where there is danger, there's Shekhar" "Take this mission for instance." "Chandangarh mission" "The moment I found out, I approached the Commissioner" "I told him, it's a dangerous mission, put me on it" "He tried to reason with me, "We choose the group leader first"" "I said, "Sir, carry on the search, I'm game"" ""But you must count me in first, because the mission is dangerous..."" ""and Shekhar is going"" "You know the politics involved in the police" "I didn't want to take any risks, I had the minister call up the Commissioner" "He reasoned with him, "Count Shekhar in, he is honest..."" ""Shekhar is..."" " Brave" "Right. "Shekhar is..."" " Brilliant" ""This mission is impossible without Shekhar"" "Listen to me" "Know where he wanted to send me?" "He asked me to escort his kids to Shahrukh's new movie premiere... to be photographed with him." "That's the last thing a brave man would do" "Here you are, Sawant-sahib." "Strong tea" "Hey traitor..." "lqbal-bhai... have some food." "You'll die of starvation" "The cops have a bad name anyway." "You're the one who'll die... and it'll be our funeral!" "Stop bothering me." "Eat it up" "Mhatre... why're you pestering him?" " He refuses to eat" "He'll eat when he's hungry." "Hey... you want something to eat?" "No, he won't." "Something to drink...?" "No." "When he's hungry, he'll ask for it" "The officer asked me to feed him." " The officer did?" "The officer said you must have something" "Ingrate!" "You couldn't digest our stuff?" "Tell the officer... he has had what he had to" "He won't be hungry till this evening." "Give me those wadas" "Yes, Jaya... yes, I've made all arrangements for the reception" "Yes, I've had a word with the caterer too" "There will be nothing lacking in the food and drinks" "The florist will come to you, show you a lot of pictures... you must decide on something only after considering the budget, okay?" "Yes, we've got to buy a gift for the groom." "Don't worry" "Tell Sarika that I'm going to get a great watch... one minute" "Which make is this watch?" "It's Panera." "German make" "I'll get Panera." "A German product" "How much is it worth?" " 5000..." "Ask him to show us half a dozen of those watches..." "No, sir." "It isn't worth 5000 rupees." "It's 5000 Dollars" "Jaya." "Listen... we'd rather go in for an Indian watch" "Yes, I'll talk to you later" "I got it as a gift" "Did I ask him?" "Mahalaxmi!" "Wake up!" "Mahalaxmi, wake... when you doze off beside the driver, the driver feels sleepy too" "Talk to me!" " You're the one who talks... rather you say something." " So you're taking a dig at me, okay!" "Tell me something." "How did you get the name Mahalaxmi?" "My parents gave me the name." "Why?" "Do you have a problem?" "No, no problem really" "But whenever I talk to you, I feel as if I am addressing a building!" "What?" " Oh yes!" "There are so many buildings in Mumbai named after you" "Like Mahalaxmi Chambers, Mahalaxmi Departments, Mahalaxmi Apartments..." "Mahalaxmi Society..." "Mahalaxmi Station, Mahalaxmi Race Course... and Mahalaxmi Lottery..." "I often buy it!" "Today I've won it" "Shooting!" " Shooting?" "Where...?" "Rambo!" "It's a film shooting." "Don't pull out the rod all the time" "I wish our lives were like the movies." "It would've been so much of fun" "What fun?" " A hell of a lot of fun!" "Man could say anything he wants to so openly, so brazenly... swaying all the way, what fun!" "Do you know how to dance?" "Those blue eyes are going to be the end of me!" ""My heart is immersed..."" ""in these blue eyes, my heart is immersed"" ""My love, you ought to know..."" ""I'm a crazy lover." "I could do anything for you"" ""Yours is the love I live for..."" ""for you, I could even die"" ""I'm not falling for your sweet words..."" ""get going, crazy one"" ""Don't lure me into your web of words"" ""I'd rather be robbed, I'd rather be wiped out..."" ""but your heart I will surely win over"" ""I'm not going to stop following you..."" ""however much you torment me"" ""My heart is immersed..."" ""in these blue eyes, my heart is immersed"" ""My love, you ought to know..."" ""There's yearning, there's temptation in loving me"" ""Thousands have gone crazy, having fallen in love with me"" ""One day, my love..."" ""I'll adorn you with my love"" ""The world will watch..."" ""and I will walk away with you"" ""My heart is immersed..."" ""I'm a crazed lover..."" ""I could do anything for you"" "Looks like it'll take a couple of hours" "There's another narrow lane" "If we take that, we'll get to the highway in four kilometers, sir" "Clear out!" "Move aside..." "Step aside" "Make way..." "C'mon, sir" "Clear out... out!" "C'mon, c'mon" "Get back" "You've landed in a soup, DCP." "What are you going to do now?" "Who are you looking around for?" "Mhatre, keep an eye on Ansari!" "I'll be back soon!" "Get out!" "Quick!" "Well?" "Why did you Who asked you to?" "Thank God, nothing happened to him" "But why not?" "He isn't such a fool to risk his life... just show his face, and take to his heels" "There's surely something he came to do" "But why didn't he do it?" "Or did he do something before he left?" "There I was, on Ansari's van..." "I didn't let anyone get closer" "That leaves this jeep" "Who was in the jeep?" "Back!" "Back!" "Back off!" "Looks like they were civilians." "The sight of this gave them a scare" "Or probably they come to see who's dead and who's alive?" "We have a problem, sir" "The van won't start" "Our van has stalled..." "What can I do?" "We wish to stay here for a while" " Mr D'Mello is not at home" "I'll talk to Mr D'Mello." "It's only for a few hours" "The master won't agree." " It's only for a few hours, I say" "Our master won't say anything" "It's him, isn't it sir?" "The Pakistani agent?" "I saw him on TV!" "In my house." " Who else is there in your house?" "There's Ramdas-kaka and me." "I'm Nandan." "The cook" "I don't have a network here." "And you...?" " The network doesn't work here, sir" "But our phone is working." "Please be seated." "I'll get some water" "Kamlesh..." " Yes, sir?" "Take Ansari inside and stay with him" "Ghorpade, fix the van" "Shekhar, Ashwin, Mhatre..." "seal all entry and exits" "Who's this?" " Anant speaking, sir" "There was an attack on our jeep, a blast..." "Tell me your exact location." "I'll rush a police team immediately" "Sir, it's the bungalow on the dusty road along the Pirbar Road" "And listen, don't move from there" "Hey!" "Who's paying for the phone call?" "Why are you asking the officer?" "How much is it?" "I'll pay you" "How much?" " 30 rupees" "How would there be any money in your pockets?" "You guys get everything for free" "Okay, I'll pay him." " And I'll repay you later" "Don't forget to collect it" "All they can do is to borrow, not to repay" "Get off!" "Come with me, Mahalaxmi." "Don't be afraid" "But who's afraid?" " There could be anything here" "A rat, a snake or a scorpion." " I'm not scared of them" "Aren't you scared of them?" " No" "Aren't you scared of anything?" "I used to be, when I was a child." " Of what?" "When I wouldn't sleep, my mother used to say, "Go to sleep, my child..."" ""else, the police will arrive"" " You've made bandits out of the cops!" "Know what?" "There could be ghosts here, even spirits of the buffaloes" "Ghosts?" " But you needn't be afraid" "I'm here." "Where there is danger, there is Shekhar." "Sit here... all night, I'll stay with you and protect you" "Not to worry." "To hell with the ghost!" "Know what?" "Take this blanket and go to sleep" "Go to sleep." "Go on!" " I..." "I'm fine!" "Don't worry about me." " How can I not?" "A ghost could do just about anything!" " Do what?" "Hey Kaka!" "You're scaring a cop?" " There's no light" "Kaka, are there ghosts here?" " 18 of them" "Hear that?" "18 ghosts!" "Listen to that!" "18 ghosts?" "That's so exciting!" "Actually, I had heard so much about ghosts, but I never saw one" "But the ghosts won't venture here, with brave men like you around" "So please go." "Let me experience this!" " Listen to me, Mahalaxmi... listen to me!" "Atleast give me the torch!" "How will I go downstairs in the darkness?" "Hey Kaka!" "At least take me down with you!" "Sir, have some tea" "You must've forgotten your old friends, Mr DCP" "But I don't forget" "I neither forget, nor forgive" "What's happening here, Inspector?" "They're the five thugs who robbed the bank three days ago" "This is where they were holed up." "I asked them to surrender... and they fired at me." "At a police officer" "When I returned the fire in self-defence... the poor guys got killed." "What can I do?" "Don't act too smart, Angre" "I know the guys who robbed the bank" "And it's very obvious to me that you took a bribe from them... to kill these innocent men." "So that the case can be closed" "But your story is not working this time" "That's just what I thought." "There's something lacking in the story" "Four of them are lying there, Five men fall to my firing" "And not a single cop falls to their firing?" "At least one police officer has to die" "And if that one happens to be a senior officer... it'll breathe life into the story..." "You're going to regret it... you will deeply regret it!" "Yes, Mr D'Mello." "I had called." "Actually..." "How did it get disconnected?" "Call everyone." "We're leaving" "What does it say?" ""Send Ansari out." "Else, we're coming in"" "How many rounds on you, Ashwin?" " Three" "Seven, sir." " Mhatre?" "Two, sir" "I've got just one" "Smart move the enemy has made." "He makes us exhaust our ammo... and talks of negotiation" "How many rounds on you, Shekhar?" "What are you doing, Shekhar?" " Let's throw this dog out" "We can't let him go." " We can't keep him with us either!" "I've spoken to Mr Naidu." "The police will arrive any moment" "When will the police party arrive?" "When?" "After we're all dead?" "To file a report?" "To take a count of the bodies?" "You want us to sit here and die in hope?" "We'll fight it out, Shekhar!" " How will we fight it out?" "How?" "We've seen their firepower!" "And what do we have?" "Seven rounds, three, two... one?" "Sir, let this dog go today" "If we live, we can get hold of him again" "We're all going to die a miserable death!" "If you're so scared of death, why did you don that uniform?" "Do you know what it means to wear that uniform?" "To consider your duty to be greater than your life" "You are an unsuccessful police officer" "A failure of a police officer!" "Maybe you never took bribes, but you have achieved nothing either!" "You've been pushed around in the department all your life!" "You've gone senile with age!" "You think you will die on duty, become famous, gain martyrdom... your family will get a medal!" "But we refuse to die for your selfish motives!" "Out of my way." "Step aside!" "Till I live, I am in-charge of this mission" "He's not going anywhere." "That's my order" "To hell with your order, to hell with this job... and to hell with you!" "I knew you were dishonest" "But I see today, that you're a coward too!" "Moron!" "I'm fighting for all of us!" "It has nothing to do with your life or mine... it's a question of my conscience" "And my conscience says that the DCP is right" "Lower your gun" "You will fire at me?" "For the sake of this ISI agent, you will fire at me?" "For the sake of this traitor...?" " Shoot!" "Kill me!" "Finish me!" "You think they're chasing you to have me released?" "No!" "They're bent on killing me!" "Yes!" "I've been taking these taunts for so long!" "Traitor!" "ISI agent!" "Pakistani?" "I'm paying the price for being a Hindustani!" "The price for being an honest Hindustani!" "I will not do anything wrong" "It's necessary to conduct a post mortem on these three bodies again" "I cannot issue their death certificates right now" "Why not?" "The RMO's screaming at me!" " They did not die in the riots" "They were poisoned to death." "The bruises on them are misleading" "It could endanger your life, doctor..." " I'm sorry" "Even if I lose my job, I will not issue false death-certificates" "Listen, doctor... my name is Bhaskar Joshi." "I'm a freelance journalist" "The three bodies whose certificates..." " I can say nothing in this regard" "It's a police case." " The police is part of the conspiracy!" "There's a very big man involved in this case" "Deodhar?" " Yes." "Our Minister." "Deodhar" "He's appealing for peace today, but he's the one who engineered these riots" "What for?" " Several reasons, sir" "There's no saying how many such crimes he has committed." "For power" "Three social workers:" "Ashish Garg, Narayan Rane and Vaishali Shinde... collected evidence of his wrongdoings" "It could have exposed him" "But Deodhar got to know about it." "He called them over for a meeting... and poisoned them." "He had the bodies badly bruised... and had them tossed in riot-hit streets" "So that everybody would think that they were killed in the riots" "What... what do you want me to do?" "I have in my possession that file of Deodhar's wrongdoing" "If you could give me the post-mortem reports of these three bodies..." "I'll have it published in the newspaper with all the evidence" "Here are the reports." "If I get any more information..." "I'll let you know" "Here's my card" "Make sure you read tomorrow's newspaper" "Get me the card in the trousers I was wearing last night" "Have something to eat first." " Go ahead, brother" "If someone offered me something with so much of love..." "I'd accept even poison!" " You stay out of this" "You came late last night, didn't you?" "You know what state the city is in" "Nothing's happening in our locality, sister-in-law" "We have good folks here." " Folks are always good, Taufeeq" "Hindu or Muslim, everyone wants to live in peace" "But these politicians..." " Iqbal... what is the matter, son?" "Your wife told me you're very upset?" "No, it's nothing" "Don't worry." "I'm going to Ajmer Sharief." "I'll pray for peace and harmony" "Zafar wants to go to Ajmer too." "He has his holidays anyway" "So I thought..." " No, Zafar is not going" "Please, father!" "Please!" " No, no..." "Please!" " Okay" "But don't bother your grandma too much." " Will a wee bit do?" "Naughty boy" "The train leaves at 5." "Will you see me off?" "Mother, I'll drop you on my way to the hospital" "Bhaskar, you said you'd publish everything about Deodhar... along with my report." "But nothing has been published?" "Who's this?" " It's me." "Dr Iqbal Ansari" "Hey smartass... what do you know about Deodhar?" "What did the reporter tell you?" "You don't know me yet" "Not to worry." "He's okay" "We want to know about the riot victims..." "About that, you will have to..." "Bhaskar!" "What happened?" "What happened?" "What?" "What...?" "Call for you, sir" "Hey smartass!" "What did Bhaskar tell you before he died?" "Tell me everything." "Where is the file?" "You guys have..." " Forget those who are dead... and think about those who live" "In any case, things aren't very nice in the country" "Stop talking nonsense!" "I don't have any file!" "And even if I did..." "I wouldn't have given it to you" "Guys like Deodhar ought to be hanged publicly in the square!" "Stop this farce of being a doctor!" "Because of dishonest people like you, our entire community gets a bad name!" "What rubbish are you talking?" " Of course!" "Go and see" "They've recovered guns and explosives from your house!" "What?" " Yes." "Go and see!" "The rioteers have set your house on fire" "Go!" "Father!" "Father!" "Farida!" "Have you seen my father somewhere?" "Has anyone seen my folks?" "Did my family come here?" "Someone answer me!" "Hey smartass... you can still save your life." "Tell me where Deodhar's file is" "See?" "Just a box was unloaded at your house and it went up in flames" "Why were you quiet all this time?" " What could I say?" "And who could I say it to, officer?" "Who...?" "To the police who themselves planted the guns in my house... and had me implicated?" "Or should it have been the press... who labelled me a terrorist without even getting to know the truth?" "Who should I have spoken to?" "Nothing will happen even if I speak." "My death is inevitable" "But if you wish to live, leave me here and go away" "Because you've been sent here to die with me, not take me away from here 23.976" "Sorry... for arriving at the wrong time, uninvited" "Can't help it, the government job is such" "Don't be surprised, DCP" "I'm doing it for the sake of the government you are working for" "The only difference is that you are paid in cheque... and I'm paid in cash" "Albeit, a little more than you" "Politics is a strange thing" "You are sent to stop me, and I'm sent to knock you off" "Where's Dr Ansari?" "Shekhar, the smartass, is missing, so is the kid Ashwin" "Want to play?" "So let's play" "Natwar, find the bastards" "Mahalaxmi..." "will you examine me?" "Let me go." "What have I done?" "What have I done?" " Shut him up!" "Leave him alone" "Always eager to die, DCP" "Beautiful wife, lovely daughter" "Sadly, you could not belong to them" "All your life you've been playing the policeman in Khaki" "So... after you are gone, I'll take care of the mother and daughter" "Mac, aim at his temple" "If the DCP moves, make a sieve out of all of them" "Slap your boss" "No" "I won't" "If you don't, his head will be blown off" "I won't" "Kalwa..." " Yes sir?" "Did you hear?" " No, sir" "Did you hear when I was smacked?" " Yes, sir" "He must hear" "Kalwa..." " Heard, sir" "Shoot me" "Kill me" "Later" "First your boss's head will be blown off" "No, no." "Don't do this, sir" "Don't do this, sir" "I see." "Mac!" "This is what you call a slap" "It hurts both the hunter and the victim" "You hit me here..." "on the skin" "I hit you right there..." "your conscience" "That's a slap!" "For what you did to me..." "I could've killed you right after I was released from jail" "But I knew that life meant nothing to you" "Duty, self-esteem, respect..." "they mean the life to you" "To begin with, I wanted to scratch those things off you" "And this is my chance" "You will go back unsuccessful." "You will be maligned" "You will be stripped of your uniform." "You will be regarded with contempt" "Only then will I be at peace" "Your ideas hardly matter" "Only the tempest will decide the fate of the light" "The lamp that has the gas will stay lit" "Some people are hiding inside the storehouse" "Let's see your best shot" "C'mon, get out of here!" "Ansari!" "Sir, the blood's not stopping" "Must take him to the hospital at once" "Hurry up" "Did Ansari speak?" "We traced a few hangouts of the terrorists" "How did they know that you guys are coming?" "Sir, I'd like to change my travel plans" "I sent a police team over..." "where are you?" "How's Ansari?" "He's hit, isn't he?" "Ansari is hit" "How do you know?" "It was only between my men... and Angre" "Ansari is still alive" "And we will certainly take him to court" "Inform your bloody father..." "Deodhar" "I have extracted the bullet, but the patient is in a bad shape" "He needs to be kept under observation for a couple of days" "You guys can go back" "This... mission is over for you" "By now you must've realised that those who have sent us on this mission... they themselves don't want Ansari to reach the court" "Yet... if we keep the fight on... we'll be taking on the government" "We'll be fighting against the entire system" "In which case... taking Ansari to court will be almost impossible" "Besides, suppose we manage to take him to court... the government will surely take revenge on us" "It'll suspend us" "We'll be sacked" "We might even be jailed" "I have decided to stay on till the end" "You guys are young" "You have an entire life ahead of you" "I would like you to go back" "You want to do all the noble deeds all by yourself" "I have committed too many sins" "But now that I've got an opportunity to wash away my sins... you are trying to snatch it away" "I'm not going back" "I was rude to you... last night..." "I'm sorry" "But please sir, I'm not going back" "I'm going with you" "If you don't take me along..." "I'll follow you... till the very end" "Follow you, I surely will" "Me too, sir." "Till the very end" "I'm also going with you." "I don't care if I'm sacked" "I'm also with you, sir... but only as long as we take Ansari to Mumbai" "After that, I'm quitting" "I would also like to go with you, sir" "From now on, no contact with Mumbai" "What are you upto?" "Why talk of quitting?" "People like me ought to quit" "But look at me." "I'm the one who's starting afresh" "But you want to quit the job" "Why do you want to quit the job?" "Why must I do this kind of a job?" "During the course of this mission..." "I have learnt that, what I wish to do... the reason I joined the police force..." "I won't be allowed to do" "And what they would force me to do, is unacceptable to my conscience" "You want me to salute criminals like Deodhar and Naidu?" "Look, they are..." "Did I wear this uniform to do their bidding?" "Give me one good reason to wear this uniform" "Sir, the superintendent is here" "You guys are coming with me to the police station" "Look... say what you want to the commissioner and the minister" "I have orders to take Ansari under my custody and relieve you" "I'm only performing my duty" "What is your duty?" "Tell me" "What is our duty?" "Protect the righteous" "Destroy evil... isn't that our motto?" "Look behind" "That's our objective" "Protect good people" "Destroy the evil" "But... what are we doing?" "For money... for promotions... we lick the soles of politicians like Deodhar" "As for duty, Dr Ansari was performing his duty in Chandangarh" "And that bastard Deodhar ruined his life" "Inspector Thate was performing his duty" "Ghorpade too" "The soldiers were performing duty, who died a meaningless death" "For this very duty's sake, we've been battling death for the last 48 hours" "And our own department is bent on bumping us off" "That Deodhar has been continuously raping the law... because, our own officer Naidu is playing his pimp" "Damn it!" "Let alone the criminals... if the police department wishes, and if the government decides... no one can even snatch a child's toy in the city" "But the truth is that we policemen... are hoods in licenced clothing, who, in the name of duty... do nothing but behave inhumanely with innocent, helpless people." "That's it" "A municipal worker is a better individual than we are" "He wears a Khaki just like us, but climbs down a gutter... to clean the city's filth!" "Mr Satam... my duty tells me to take Ansari to court... and get him justice" "And I will do that" "If your duty tells you to stop me... you can shoot me, no second thoughts" "I'm taking him with me" "It's the Additional Commissioner Naidu" "Satam here, sir." "I had been to the hospital." "I have brought them to the police station" "Hold them there" "Get this clear." "It's a matter of our prestige" "It's the minister's orders." " We're investigating, sir" "No, we didn't find the people we came looking for" "I'll call you up as soon as I have news" "Thanks for reminding me about my duty" "You can stay here until Dr Ansari gets well" "What are you doing here, Shekhar?" "What are you thinking about?" "What will I think of, Mahalaxmi?" "Whatever I thought, was all wrong" "Whatever I did, was all wrong" "Whatever I understood was also all wrong" "My parents, I never knew, I never saw" "I grew up on my own and always thought of my own self" "I could never become a good human being... nor a good police officer." " Don't say that, Shekhar" "If we're alive today, it's only because of you" "We could escape that bomb, and get out of that house" "That's not how it is" "In fact, even with you, my intentions weren't any good" "And now?" "Now..." "I want to become a good human being." "Like the DCP" "I know it's a difficult path to tread" "But tread this path, I surely will" "I'm with you, Shekhar" "I will walk with you" "How you seen these men around?" " No, sir" "Any news?" " Angre's at it" "And the police in the area are looking for him" "All this has happened because of you, Naidu!" "Only because of you!" "You got your men to plant the weapons in Ansari's house... you had him arrested" "But that moron couldn't even get the file from Ansari!" "You guys couldn't make him talk either!" "You know why he's quiet?" "Because he no longer trusts the police" "And he wants to strip me in the courts!" "And he's gotten out of our hands!" " I had suggested killing him... there in Chandangarh itself." "But you turned me down" "You first wanted the file, before it fell into someone else's hands" "But you needn't worry." "Ansari will be found" "Naidu, how did you get up here?" "I took the elevator." " And I climbed the staircase" "To reach this height, I have climbed every step of crime!" "I have walked over dead bodies to get where I am today" "A few of them were my own men." "But I trampled upon them to get here" "That file contains damaging wrongdoings I have committed" "If it falls in the hands of the media, it would..." "I'm going to become the Chief Minister in just a few months" "No, no... never!" "I'm not losing this round!" "For this, I have staked my life and all I have!" "Ansari's not reaching the courts alive." "And only I must have that file" "There are some people from the media, sir" "They want information on the Ansari case" "Tell them, we have nothing to say." " But we do... we do" "Tell them that I'm coming in a while" "What you and Angre could never achieve... the public will now accomplish" "The team led by DCP Anant Srivastav which had gone to bring... the terrorist Ansari from Chandangarh to Mumbai, has gone missing" "The police suspect that the team has connived with the ISI... and let Ansari get away" "The team includes DCP Anant Srivastav..." "Senior Inspector Shekhar Varma, Inspector Ashwin Gupte..." "Head Constable Kamlesh Sawant and constable Gajanan Mhatre" "If you receive any information on them... contact the nearest police station immediately" "Ansari!" "What are you doing?" "Why do you want to save me?" "Let me die!" "You must live, Ansari!" "You must!" " What for?" "And for whom?" "Is what I have gone through, any less...?" "Must I live to see the ruin of my mother and my son?" "There's no other reason for me to live" "We can't alter what you have been through" "Together, however, we can try to ensure... that no other Ansari goes through all this" "And so you will have to help us, go with us to the court... so that we can fight a battle for justice together" "Sir, Mr Satam had telephoned" "He says it's all over TV that we've sold out to the ISI" "That we have disappeared with Ansari" "Sir, people are getting in with sticks and swords" "We can leave from the rear entrance, sir" "No, we will leave from the front door" "What are you guys watching?" "Give Ansari a thrashing!" "No!" "Who said that?" "Who was it?" "You...?" "You said that?" "You'll strike with a sword?" "C'mon Come and kill Ansari" "Hit him... attack!" "Why don't you hit him now?" "Here you are." "Hit me instead!" "Kill me!" "Who else wants to kill Ansari?" "Speak up!" "Show me your face!" "Bloody nincompoops!" "Like jackals, you will attack from behind!" "Why don't you look at me in the eye?" "You need courage to look at someone in the eye and attack him!" "And courage is by possessed by the one who's honest at heart!" "Ansari is a traitor!" "He must be punished!" "You will punish him...?" "Are you the police?" "Are you a judge?" "Or are you a hangman?" "Who gave you this right?" "If he's indeed guilty, he will be punished in court!" "We're taking him to the court!" " How will you take him to court?" "You have yourself sold out!" "I feel pity for people like you" "Every time, all the time, you are led astray" "You are used!" "They make you burn your houses with your own hands... while they watch in glee, and yet you refuse to see the truth?" "That's exactly what is happening today!" "Without knowing the truth, you'll spill out on the roads, with swords in hand!" "I know what the truth is!" "Look at this..." "I have shed blood for the truth!" "I have courted death!" "If you think you are right and can play with death... come here and try to stop us" "Else, get out of the way" "The Superintendent Mr Satam has already telephoned" "Normally, no train stops at this station during the daytime" "But a service train will stop here specially for you" "It will drop you at Kalyan and proceed from there" "Yes, daddy." "I'll get there soon" "You were told not to make calls, weren't you?" "You are a police officer." "Maybe your folks can understand this" "But my daddy can't figure all this out" "The moment he heard my voice, he heaved a sigh of relief" "You didn't tell him where we are, did you?" "Inspector Shekhar Varma, having spent so many days with the police..." "I've got to know what to reveal and what not to" "But I sure told him about you" "Me?" "What did you say?" "Just that a handsome and dashing police officer... will take him home safely" "Who will one day take me away from my house and be rid of all his problems" "No!" "No!" "You swear...?" "You really said that?" ""This much I promise you in love..."" ""we shall never be separated"" ""God knows who my heart beats for"" ""How much do I love...?" "You have no idea"" ""God knows who my heart beats for"" ""This much I promise you..."" ""I could forget the world..."" ""such is the love I have for you"" ""Call it the mischief of a vagabond..."" ""or call it plain madness"" ""My heart has heard your heart..."" ""you are my beloved"" ""There are no distances between us anymore..."" ""it's the doing of our love"" ""God knows who my heart beats for"" ""This much I promise you in love..."" ""we shall never be separated"" ""God knows who my heart beats for"" "Damn it, junior!" "I was in a great romantic mood and you had to ruin everything" "Know what?" "Once Ansari's case is dealt with..." "I'll marry Mahalaxmi." "I'll have a few kids..." "I'll buy a flat..." " Ansari's in a bad way" "We must rush him to the hospital immediately" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "What are you staring at?" "Mother, someone's here" "What's your name, son?" " Who is it?" "I'm sub-inspector Ashwin Gupte" "Oh yes, I know!" "He had told me." "You went with him to Chandangarh" "When did you arrive?" " Today" "In the morning." " I was scared when I watched the news" "So I went to the temple, offered a prayer..." "I was going to the temple again" "Where's he?" "Did he go to fetch you a soft-drink?" "Come in, please" "No... it's okay" "What's the matter?" "Something serious?" "He's not here...?" "Is he... all right?" "What happened?" "He won't return" "Your husband was a very brave man" "He fought valiantly" "Never cowered" "In his last moments he missed you terribly" "He said you are very brave" "Home... the kid and everything..." "you will take care of, he said" "Right." "Those must've been his words" "I was very scared before... when he used to go to work at nights" "I used to tell him that... people go to work in the morning, come back in the evening... play with their children, and sleep in peace" "I used to constantly tell him... to quit his job" "He then lovingly made me see reasons" "He used to say, "Are you crazy?"" ""A man in uniform keeps guard on the street..."" ""that's why everyone sleeps peacefully"" "Before I could force him to quit the job... everything stands..." "Mother, what happened?" "Is daddy coming?" ""Kamlesh Sawant"" "Careful" "Watch it" "Take him to the casualty ward" "Sir, I need to talk to you" "Wait... he's dead, sir" "No, no way" "Ansari... you can't do this to us" "You can't betray us, Ansari" "Get up" "Get up" "Why are you silent, sir?" "Has the ISI bribed you?" "I don't care what people think of me... what they take me for" "I consider it my duty to tell you everything" "The truth is..." "How long will you sit like this?" "Let's call the municipality... and hand the body over to them." "Your son was a traitor... so he's not going to find a pallbearer" ""O Lord..."" ""have mercy"" ""Allah..."" ""have mercy"" ""I pray to You..."" ""have mercy on me, Allah"" ""Have mercy, Lord"" ""The helpless will find support..."" ""The drowning will find shores..."" ""the storm will subside at once..."" ""at one gesture from You"" ""If You bestow Your kindness upon us..."" ""we shall be delivered of all miseries"" ""Allah, have mercy"" "Let alone the people, I won't even believe God" "Had my son been guilty... these four gentlemen wouldn't have become his pallbearers" "They wouldn't give him such a respectful funeral" "What difference does it make?" "Ansari is dead, the case is shut too" "The case isn't over as yet" "We have buried Ansari, not the case" "Hear that?" "Hear what that man says?" "With cases, men are buried alive" "And this man is talking of keeping a dead man's case alive" "You were the one who picked this officer" "His words hardly matter." " It won't matter to you" "You relate only with the position, not with the one who holds it" "Don't worry, I'll talk to him" "Have some tea" "Look, you don't need to worry over trivia" "This enquiry, press conference..." "it's all make-believe" "You guys won't be harmed" "So, stop making absurd statements... and try to understand me" "I'm making you the Additional Commissioner" "The Commissioner's position will follow" "You will be rich when you retire" "I'll promote your friends, too" "And Ansari?" "He was a traitor." "He's dead" "Don't think." "Marry your daughter off grandly" "I'll take care of the expenses" "Thank God... that I don't distrust the law yet" "Else, I'd have ripped your tongue off and handed it over to you" "Look Anant..." " Say what you want... in court, okay?" "What will happen in court, eh?" "History is witness." "All the scams, all the cases, all the enquiries... all the commissions against ministers and politicians... came to what?" "Nought" "No minister has ever been punished, nor ever will" "That's our country's unwritten law" "This law will change, Deodhar" "And it will take off from you" "Pray it happens so" "Because, if it doesn't happen that way..." "I'll thrash the hell out of you" "I'll turn you into a body of wounds" "Even Pain will lose its bearings" "We're running short of time" "Deodhar is watching us" "Arrest warrants may come up against all of us, anytime" "Can't help it, sir" "Poor Ansari died for no reasons" "We have neither witness, nor evidence" "No clue to reach the truth, either" "One minute" "Tell me" "It was Mhatre." "I had asked him... to trace the journalist Bhaskar's family, who died in Chandangarh" "His son has been traced." "Here's his address" ""Oh, the spell you have cast"" ""Dark seems the day"" ""Oh, the spell you have cast"" ""He plays with my tresses..."" ""holds me in his arms..."" ""he's such an amazing lover"" ""Here I come..."" ""seizing you with euphoria..."" ""robbing you of peace..."" ""spewing a sweet venom over you"" ""Such is the magic of my lips"" ""Such is the magic of my lips"" ""Is there a lover like me?"" ""Slowly and gently..."" ""my heart races"" ""It will rage like fire"" ""It will pine all my life"" ""Such is the ecstasy in my heart"" ""Such is the ecstasy my lover offers me"" ""He's such an amazing lover"" ""Oh, what a spell you have cast"" "about Deodhar or any files" "Try to remember, Chandu." "Your father gave his life for a noble cause" "Don't you want his mission to be successful?" "So what am I to do?" "There are all types of people who are bothering me with such questions" "They even thrashed me." "I'm trying to hide from them" "Father is dead." "My mother went mad seeing him dying" "One minute." "Your father died in Chandangarh" "How could your mother see him die?" "They showed it on TV." "I recorded it" "So far 71 people have died in the Chandangarh communal riots... 213 injured, and 3000 rendered shelterless" "Yes Mahalaxmi?" " Where have you been for two days?" "I'll tell you once I'm free." "Listen..." "I've traced the file." " Great!" "I want to meet you now" "Not now, later." " Now, Shekhar" "Try to understand, Mahalaxmi." " Just tell me where you are" "I'll be right over." " Okay, come to the GPO" "I've found the file" "It's in the locker at GPO, sir." "That's where I'm headed" "I'll meet you right there" "You're going to be put away for a long time, Deodhar" "He was about to raise and alarm and ruin your game" "So I put him to sleep You found the file?" "Give it to me" "Take this and leave." "I'll stop them" "But you...?" " Don't worry about me" "It's necessary for this packet to reach Mr Anant" "Give it only to him." "Okay?" "Shekhar!" "Mahalaxmi!" "Perplexed and horrified!" "But what can I do?" "Love is a strange thing" "It makes a fool out of a perfectly sensible man" "You were doing duty for the government... and my love was doing duty for me" "And you guys didn't even suspect anything" "She went with you guys at my behest" "So that we could find this file" "She made a fool out of all of you" "Shekhar, we went to the GPO." "Where are you?" "Very smartly, she stayed with all of you... so that she could tell me about every move, every plan you made" "The way I arrived at the bungalow... brought an empty train to the station... is all thanks to this blue-eyed girl!" "Mahalaxmi!" "With Angre...?" "She called me in your presence" "I'm her old and unfortunate father" "Shekhar, get out of there!" "To mix business and pleasure is not a good thing" "You went wrong in your duty, but not me" "This advise will help him only in his next birth" "Any last wish?" "Don't ever tell anyone how I was killed" "Or people will lose faith in love" "And she'll be the one to fire the first bullet at me" "If you don't take me with you, I'm going to follow you... to the very end" "But, sir... follow you, I surely will" "I'm proud of you, Inspector Shekhar" "Even in death, you have performed your duty" "No... try to understand, Anant" "Deodhar has high connections" "You can't do anything" "If a man out there on the streets." "Said this out of helplessness..." "I could understand it" "Driven by his obsession for power... if a politician like Deodhar said this, I could still understand it" "Even if a mad and insane man like Angre said it..." "I could understand it too!" "But you, you bastard... you had sworn to protect the law with me!" "And you're saying this?" "You're saying it...?" "Don't!" "Don't hit me, please!" "I'm with you!" "All the way!" "I don't need you" "I've found Mahalaxmi, sir." "She has come out of her building" "She'll take us further" "Keep me informed." "I'm coming over" "Naidu told me." "Anant is badly injured." "He's lying in the hospital" "The thorn has been removed from your path, Deodhar" "No, Deodhar, no file" "You will first transfer the money into my account... and then I'll lovingly give the file to you" "I told you, no file." "You're still asking for it!" "All right." "You will see." "It'll be there in tomorrow's newspapers" "He's transferring the money to our account" "What is this file worth, love?" "But not more than you, my love" "Some are useful in life." "Some are useful in death" "You were useful while you lived, so were you when you died" "No one gets down here" "Sir... stop it, please!" " Let me go!" "Having considered all the evidence at hand... this court has reached the conclusion... that the charges levelled against Dr Iqbal Ansari are false and baseless" "This court therefore sentences minister Deodhar..." "Additional Commissioner Shrikant Naidu and Yashwant Angre to Life lmprisonment" "Always walk with your head held high, son" "Your father was a very good man" "His upbringing and education shall now be my responsibility" "Revenge is a strange thing." "Like wine" "The older it gets, the bigger its kick" "You will regret it." "You will deeply regret it" "Take him away" "Where will this kid take me?" "I'll go now." "But see you soon" "Stop the van!" "Stop it!" "Hurry up and load the rifle." "And fire at the van" "Sir, this is Sub-lnspector Ashwin Gupte speaking" "Bad news, sir." "Angre tried to grab the constable's gun and run away" "When I asked him to surrender, he fired at us" "I returned the fire and he was wounded" "Yes, he's alive." "We're taking him to the hospital... but there are bleak chances of his survival"
