"Don't piss me off today, I'm not in a good mood." "Who do you think you are, you goon?" "I told you, don't push it." "I don't want to hear anything." "Get out of here." "Enough of it." "Take everything and get out of here." "It's all my fault..." "Brought home dirt from the street." "Didn't I tell you, don't push it today." "What will you do?" "You scoundrel, hooligan." "Will you hit me?" "What are you doing?" " l'm a goon, isn't it?" "Have you gone mad?" "Madhu..." "I..." "You know what you've done is wrong." "No point in saying anything now." "Forget it." "Like every evening come and get drunk." "Surya?" "Jeetu." "Yes, Jeetu." "What are you doing here?" "To buy fish." "So?" "Don't you know about Zaid?" "What about Zaid?" "They hunted Zaid in the streets yesterday The lane, besides the flour mill slashed him with swords and knives Chased him down He was screaming and crying he isn't dead, yet." "He's still alive." "Lying in LM hospital." "Excuse me." "Excuse me, my friend Zaid..." "He knew that this would happen." "You could've saved him." "He's here because of us." "You wouldn't have found his body otherwise." "It doesn't make any difference." "Everyone is the same." "He had to pay for choosing to deal with those people." "Sonu didn't help him either." "Then he came to me." "Filed a complaint against Jaleel." "Be thankful that you're alive." "Are you trying to scare me, sir?" " No. I'm warning you." "You're on Jaleel's hit list too." "You know everything?" "Then, why don't you do something?" "Are you trying to teach me my job?" "The police have arrested 12 of his people since morning." "He's hiding in Malvani." "The police are looking for him." "We won't let him get away this time." "'Farooque got a big case, Jaleel his revenge.'" "'And that day along with Zaid, a huge part of me died.'" "'l came back home.'" "'Got a job in a reputed company.'" "'Because of brother's friend's connections.'" "'And my carom certificates.'" "Ma!" "Somtya!" "You've grown up." "How are you?" "How are you, Sister-in-law?" "I'm fine." "Your wedding photos are seen everyday here." "I'm not in even one of them." "That still hurts." " l won't forgive you either." "Get married again." "This time, I'll definitely be there." "Rascal!" "I'm very happy with my married life." "Let's talk about your marriage." "Why are we discussing my marriage now?" "Get married." "Did mother ask you to do this?" "Why will mother say anything?" "I want to discuss it." "And, I will ensure you select a girl before I leave." "Tell me if there's someone." "Or else, it'll be my choice." "Tell me." "Uncle, that's all you'll get today." "You'll get this tomorrow." "Her." "Sure?" "Have I ever been unsure about anything?" "Her fish is very good." "Rascal." "As I reminisce the meaning of this evening with him." "Tells the story of this relationship." "My Krishna." "My Krishna." "My Krishna." "My Krishna." "Hello." " Hi." "is it ivory?" " lt only looks like ivory." "All the best." " Thank you." "Ready?" "Brother." "Surya, leave him." "He doesn't know anything." "Who did this?" "Tell me right now." " Surya." "Tell me right now." " Surya." "Ma." "Devi!" "Mangesh, stop." "Yes, sir?" "Take a left, and through Malvani." "I said hurry up;" "let's go to Malvani." " Yes." "Stay with Ma, I'll be there." "Are you fine?" " l'll be there, soon." "Surya, maybe, I can never understand what's going on in your heart and mind." "But, still, I would like to tell you one thing." "Its not about religion, but about humanity." "When this war of temples and mosque started everyone here said, there won't ever be riots in Malvani." "And, by the grace of Allah, it will remain true." "My son Issa was present when this terrible tragedy occurred." "Just listen to what he saw." "If you still feel angry at Muslims after that then you can come and grab my throat." "Tell him, son, tell him everything you saw." "I was running too." "Hindus and Muslims were running helter-skelter." "God knows what was going on?" "8-10 guys were instigating everyone." "Hindus were attacked and also, Muslims." "But, I saw those rag-pickers set the taxi ablaze." "Those three people, who hang around near the pipeline." "I saw them do it." "The rat said to the elephant..." "Sir, Farooque sir, is coming." " What?" "There was a message on the wireless all Malvani teams have been called to Gate No. 2." "And sir is coming here himself." "All of you leave. I'll see you there." " Okay, sir." "Go on." "Sir." "Where is Shinde?" " Sir, he's on patrol." "is that so?" "All of you report to the station, and wait for me." "Yes sir." " Let's go." "Rascals." "Tell me!" "We didn't do anything." "Tell me." "Why did you set the taxi ablaze?" "We didn't do anything." "We were told to do so." "What did you get?" "I will kill you rascals." "Who asked you to do all this?" "They guys from the warehouse did it." "Hey. Inspector." "Shinde sir is here." "Shinde sir..." " What Shinde?" "Listen to me." " Just forget it." "Didn't I tell you before?" "That Farooque, he asked us to move from there." "And, has come into Malvani himself." "Look, Jaleel, it's madness to do all this tonight." "You wimp why are you shuddering like this?" "You said he's on a holiday today." " Even I am as shocked." "We were standing just behind Gate No. 2, beside the van." "But, he landed up there too." "Pick up all your stuff and leave." "He might land up here also." "Be quiet." "Let him come here." "I'll cut him into pieces feedhimto thecrows." "Stop shuddering like this." "Go, and do your work." "Go, and instigate the Hindus in Sector 1 ." "Whether it's inspector Farooque, or anyone else." "There's no need to fear anyone." "There will be a gift waiting for them in the temple..." "Before the first prayers tomorrow." "And, for our Muslim brothers in the mosque." "Understood?" "Go on now." "There's no trusting this rascal Shinde." "God knows whether he'll do anything or not." "But, we have to be ready." "Get that." " l get it." "Brother, the Hindus and the Muslims are ready." "They've got all the weapons." "All the petrol bombs are ready." "But the rag-pickers aren't here yet." "Let them die, bloody drug-addicts." "You, you take the cow in the pickup." " Fine." "And, you take the pig in the auto." "As soon as the riots begin..." "What's wrong with the lights?" " The fuse must've blown." "Take a look, what's wrong?" "I'll take a look." "Surya." "What are you doing?" "Have you gone mad?" "Surya, wait." "Tell me." "Tell me, what do you want?" "We're of the same kind, Surya." "Surya, Malvani belongs to you." "Now, you're the king of Malvani, Surya." "That's Jaleel's promise to you." "What are you doing, Surya?" "No." "No!" "This morning in Malvani the sound of prayers from  temples and mosques together is a sign that something disastrous has been evaded..." "'Farooque raised many questions in his department...' 'regarding the police's role in the riots." "'Farooque claimed Jaleel's killing as an encounter.'" "'Ma says that I saved Malvani.' 'l don't think so...'" "'l just saw my sister's body...' '...and killed a person in that rage.'" "'l don't sleep the nights I think about it.'" "'And then, I tell myself that...' '...a lot of people could've died.'" "'a lot of people didn't burn.'"
