"But I will not let my misfortune to cast a shadow on this child's life." "I have never wanted to be another Sultan." "Neither did I want to make another Badshah out of him." "And so, I had to finish Badshah for good." "Badshah is dead, Bajrangi." "How about Sapna?" "What news of her?" "Sapna was a dream in Badshah's life." "The dream that was shattered with Badshah." "As an iron smith, I face just one truth in life." "This child." "Raju." "I must give my son a nice future." "I must make a nice man out of him." "I have buried my past for his future." "The party at Annasaheb's place was great." "You should've been there too, brother." "What's up, Mamta?" "Why aren't you eating?" "I wonder if my son has eaten." "You must forget all that now." "Forget it?" "Forget my son?" "!" "Must I forget the son I have nurtured in my womb for nine long months?" "No..." "I can never forget him!" "Not even if I want to!" "He was my son too." "We can't spend the rest of our lives, just thinking about him." "Life doesn't slow down just because something is snatched away, Mamta." "Get a hold on yourself... please." "It's a 30-minute drive from school." "But you've taken 2 and a half-hours." "You know how worried I am when Raju doesn't return on time." "You've said what you wanted to." "Now listen to what I went through." "Our government can't handle Birth control and traffic control." "From the traffic jams we'd think Madhuri Dixit was quitting town!" "That too, in an open jeep!" "And those political parties!" "They take out their processions too!" "Long live and down!" "down!" "That's a pack of lies." "Actually, he whistled to a girl." "And when she turned around... he saw it wasn't a girl." "It was a boy!" "I almost died of laughter, dad!" "Don't you say such things again!" "May you be blessed with the rest of my years too." "This is how the rich are, Bhola." "They lost their kid years ago." "But they're celebrating his birthday with all the fanfare." "She's the trustee of the school." "Why bother with what she does?" "She's throwing such a grand party in the absence of her child." "Had he been around, she'd have turned the world upside down." "Howd he be around?" "A lost child is found sooner or later." "He must've died long ago." "Why are you saying such things?" "May he get the rest of my life." "Could you please repeat what you just said?" "I will pray to God so you find your son very soon." "Could you say that again?" " Please wipe your tears." "You will certainly find your son." "Your belief has strengthened my faith." "You say such nice things." "Who taught you all this?" "My father did." "Your mother is a very fortunate lady." "My mother?" "I have no mother." "Who says you have no mother?" "I am your mother." "You can call me mother..." "will you?" "Sure." "So call me "mother"... say it once." " Mother." "My son!" "Don't ever say that you have no mother!" "We were late in paying your school-fees this time, Raju." "We won't be late again." "Tell me something, father." " What is it?" "I met mother today." "You met mother?" "!" "Who was it?" "Whose mother?" "You have no mother!" "I am both, father and mother to you." "You have no one but me." "And who's trying to entangle you in a relationship?" "You belong only to me!" "You're my son... you'll always be!" "No one can ever separate you from me... no one!" "Shadow him, Sawant." "He's the one who can lead me to Badshah." "Greetings, sir." "My son is out of the cage after seven long years!" "I didn't want those curs from the police department to get us." "Which is why I didn't come to meet you in prison." "Where's Badshah?" "Hasn't Badshah met you in all these years?" "So Badshah has run away with the money and has severed his links with us." "I don't want the money." "I need Badshah." "With your return, I feel as if my limbs have been restored to me." "But my real strength is Badshah." "And without one's strength, even an able man is an invalid." "I want Badshah." "At any cost." "Abdul!" "Where is Badshah?" "Tell me!" "That's something I want you tell me." "And you're asking me?" " l know nothing about the cheat!" "He has betrayed me." "Alcohol claimed my uncle's life... and I had to dance my way here." "I live in the hope of finding Badshah some day...." "So I can kill him!" "To extract revenge from Badshah is the only goal of my life." "To help you reach your goal will be my objective." "Come here, Raju..." "Come, son." "How are you?" " l'm fine." "You're hungry, aren't you?" "Look at what Mom has got for you today." "All this is only for my son!" "Now tell me what you like." "I can't eat this food." " Why not?" "If I eat that, this food I've got will remain uneaten." "Dad will be angry and he might even scold me." "In that case, you eat this food and I'll finish this tiffin." "Dad won't scold you then, will he?" " No, he won't!" "Sit down." "Why don't you eat?" " l'll eat later." "Have you liked the food, Raju?" " Excellent!" "This is the first time I've eaten something so good." "Hows my food?" "Just like my son is..." "lovable." "Will you go out with me tomorrow?" " Sure." "But not tomorrow." " Why not?" "Good boys don't bunk classes." "Good boys don't disobey their mothers either." "We'll have lots of fun." "And I'll buy you a lot of toys." "How about my classes?" "Leave that to me." "I won't eat tonight, father." " Why not?" "I'm not hungry." "Are you all right?" " Of course." "It's just that I'm not feeling hungry." "Know what?" "I'll go and give Sheru my food today." "is it fun?" " Oh yes!" "It is!" "Like it?" " Yes." "It's lovely!" "I won't play..." "you're cheating!" "Father!" "Father..." "leave me alone!" "Father!" "My son does not need favors from people like you." "He does not need people like you pitying him, madam!" "We are poor." "But we are self-respecting." "And we live and die within our resources." "Do not try to make us stretch ourselves." "What wrong have I done?" "I'm just being affectionate to him." "And why would he love you less, because I give him my love?" "There are children in this school who need the love of the rich!" "Should you not find one here, go to an orphanage and show your affection!" "But please do me a favor;" "forget my son!" "I want those toys, father..." "you never buy me anything!" "I want those toys!" " You want toys, isn't it?" "I'll get them for you." "Stop crying." "No matter what I have to do and how, I'll fulfill every need of yours." "But I will not let you accept alms from strangers!" "I can't invite death for 25,000 Rupees." "I'm willing to take risks, all right." "But this is suicide!" "You're the No.1 stuntman in the film industry, Salim." "You've always been a daredevil;" "and you're refusing me today?" "No one will do it." " But..." "Why won't anyone do it?" "It's a highlight of my film." "I need someone to perform it." "Salim has refused to do it, sir." "So who will?" "I can do it!" "I need just one opportunity." "I can perform this dangerous stunt." "Believe me, I will succeed in this test, sir." "But..." " Just one opportunity, sir." "What have you gone and done, father?" "How could you be so reckless?" "Something could've happened to you!" "So what would happen of me?" "I don't want anything, father!" "I want nothing!" "All I need is your love..." "I need you, father!" "I need my father!" "In your life lies my happiness, father." "Nothing matters more to me!" "Nothing!" "Father!" "I knew it." "Only Badshah could perform such a death-defying stunt." "Why are you so scared?" "Take Raju in, Bajrangi." "What have you come here for?" "Go away." "That's no way to speak to an old friend, Badshah." "In seven years, not once did you come to meet me in prison." "Well... one gentleman can forget another." "But no criminal ever forgets another." "I've been released from jail after all these years." "Aren't you happy to see me?" "I want to hear nothing about my past life... nor am I interested in you." "So just go away." "Sure, I'll go away." "After you return my money to me." "Which money are you talking about?" "A proper innocent, aren't you!" "How about racking your brains?" "You had the money when the police arrested me." "No." "The police had confiscated the money and the contraband." "I have nothing with me." " Nothing?" "So where did you find this house, the family and the kids?" "!" "From the place where the cops caught me?" "No... we have always had an equal share in the loot." "But you have betrayed us to further your own selfish interests!" "Stop it!" "That's enough!" "Another word from you... and you will see the Badshah I have now forgotten!" "You can forget yourself, Badshah." "But there is Sultan." "He has not forgotten you." "And he won't, ever!" "Remember, Sultan is the dynamite I need to ignite... to blow up your little haven of joy and happiness!" "You haven't hit me, Badshah." "You have struck Sultan!" "Either Sultan will now make you account for this... or you will go to him and give him an explanation." "I leave the decision to you." "I must now find out who Babu, the ironsmith, is." "Hold it!" "Sultan!" "I am here to make you see reason." "Let not your dogs be ambitious and turn hunters." "The farther they are from me, the longer they will live." "You have met me after all these years." "And you're spitting fire instead of being happy?" "Doesn't our relation..." " What relationship, Sultan?" "For a loaf of bread, you turned me into a beast!" "You made me commit every crime to break the law!" "Neither do I owe you anything anymore... nor do I have anything to do with you." "You were a starving orphan..." "I gave you a new life." "You must treat me like your father." "So don't play my father now!" "I'm already a father, Sultan." "You don't have to tell me how a father must love his son!" "But let me tell you something..." "our paths are different." "There are many ways to get into the world of crime, Badshah." "But there is no way you can walk out of it." "You've only been acquainted with me, Sultan." "You don't really know me." "When I take a decision, I don't worry about the consequences." "Now that I've made up my mind, I've come here for the last time." "I'll never come again." "I'm leaving." "What's wrong with your memory, son?" "You come here, if I wish you to." "And you leave, only if I wish you to." "Who will stop me?" "Take a look." "Had Badshah still been alive... he'd have buried all of you alive!" "This is the hand of Babu, the ironsmith." "It has more strength than Badshah ever possessed!" "But it's bound by humanity!" "And that's something you can't understand... and never will!" "This show of strength is not only an indication... it's the last warning to you!" "No, Abdul!" "Don't make the mistake of killing Badshah." "Time has made a smarter and much stronger man of Badshah." "This was only a small test." "That Badshah lives is very important for us. I need him." "And I will have him come back." "At any cost!" "Greetings, uncle." " Greetings." "Does Babu, the ironsmith, live here?" " Of course." "Please come in." "He's not in right now." "But he must be here any moment." "Please sit down." "I'll fetch some water for you." "What's your name?" " Raju." "And how old are you?" " Eight years." "I see... which class are you studying in?" "Class 4." " l see." "What is your father's name?" " Babu, the ironsmith, is my father." "D'you have your father's snap with you?" "Of course." "I always keep it in my book." "Really?" "And what's that for?" "You always preserve God's pictures, don't you?" "Sure, I do." " And why do you?" "Because..." "I worship Him." "I have faith in Him." "I love Him." " So you have the answer." "That's exactly why I preserve my father's picture." "Take a look..." "He's the best father in the world." "I have to just think about something, and he gets it for me." "He loves me very much." "We are very poor." "And this is a locality of the impoverished." "Every other child goes to the municipal schools." "But my father sends me to the best school in town." "What does your father do for a living?" "Can't you see?" "He owns this workshop." "He slogs day in and day out, so I can get a decent education." "He has a friend." "Someone called Inspector Pradhan." "My father wants me to follow in the inspector's footsteps." "Father!" "This is my father, uncle." "And you..." "I haven't asked your name." "Go on in, Raju." "That's a lovable kid." "He has imbibed lofty ideals and exemplary values... from you." "Babu, the iron smith... I've been on the look-out for a criminal, for seven years now." "And while I waited, there were many opportunities for promotions." "But I turned them all down." "Which is why I'm still just an inspector." "But I feel as if I have gained much more than I have lost." "Look at this statue of Lord Buddha." "He was called Siddharth." "One night, he left his wife and son, Rahul... and went into the forests in His quest for truth." "He returned an enlightened man after many years." "And his wife went to him with their son." "She was very angry." "She vent her ire on Lord Buddha." ""What right did you have to snatch a father from his son", she asked." ""How could you forsake your wife?" "Why this injustice?", she enquired." "And Buddha replied, "Your husband was a man named Siddharth"" ""This child's father was a man named Siddharth"" ""The man who walked out on you was Siddharth"" "" But the one who stands here now is Buddha, not Siddharth"" "Without the soul, a body is nothing." "The man I've hunting for years is someone else, Babu." "And the man I've met today is yet someone else." "Do forgive me." "I must say, you're not living on borrowed time." "You have really shaped your own destiny." "I was wrong." "And what you said was right, Sawant." "Shut those files on Badshah." "He died long ago." "All the children will have their parents attending the function." "Come along, dad." "I haven't been to a function in all my life." "So what'll I do there?" "I have so much of work anyway." "Go on... I might not personally be with you." "But you will have my blessings." "Why're you running away?" "Now look;" "I've no relation with you, nor will I have ever one." "I have no one but my father." "Nothing matters more to me than his happiness." "I beg of you!" "Please don't try to meet me again." "But..." "They're waiting for you at the meeting in the boardroom, madam." "In such cases, the patients are prone to physical breakdowns." "They collapse under their depressions." "With the injection I gave her, she will regain consciousness soon." "I was told you sang a very beautiful song." "And who taught you the song?" " My father did, uncle." "He's the best father in the world!" "We are poor, but he has never let me lack anything in life." "Your father's a good man, Raju." "Won't you introduce me to him?" "Certainly." "Welcome... welcome!" "Please sit down." "I'll go and call my father." "Whose picture is this, Raju?" "!" " lt's my father." "And this?" " lt's me." "What's wrong, uncle?" "Has something gotten into your eyes?" "One can't hide happiness, son!" "I have found the treasure of my life in a poor man's hut!" "I'll call my father." "Where's he?" " He was here." "There's no one here." " l wonder where he's gone." "What is this?" "Read it." "" Babu, the iron smith, meet me at my place immediately." " Oberoi"" "You asked me to come here." "Welcome, Babu." "The storm outside is nothing... compared to the one raging in my heart." "How can I help?" "You're the only one who can stave off this storm." "I'm an iron smith, sir..." "I understand things clearly spoken." "It happened seven years ago." "In a train accident... we were separated from our son." "Follow me." "This is the room in which our son first opened his eyes." "We've preserved everything that belonged to our innocent little son." "It's only... it's only my wife Mamta who believes that our son is alive." "And so, she celebrates his birthday every year." "She even carefully puts away his gifts and mementos." "Why are you telling me all this?" "Because I'm his father..." "Mamta's his mother." "Don't you want to know who the child is?" "That is my child!" "How did you find my son?" " Which son are you talking about?" "Don't pretend, Babu!" "Raju is my son!" "I'm not pretending to be ignorant, sir!" "You're trying to snatch my son from me!" "Raju is my son!" "My son!" "I've seen Raju's photograph in your house, Babu." "And this can't be a co-incidence." "Mamta just can't stop showering her love on him." "That's no co-incidence!" "What once used to be a lullaby Mamta sang for the baby... is today a song on Raju's lips!" "This is no co-incidence either!" "Your Raju is our lost prince." "When Mamta gets to know her son is alive... she'll get a new lease of life." "To begin with, no one can ever separate me from my son." "That's because I can't live a moment without him" "He is my life." "My very life." "And he's my blood!" "Blood?" "What blood are you talking about?" "Your son must've measured 5 kilos, when he was a year old." "My son weighs 30 kilos." "It's my sweat that flows in his veins." "He has grown only because I have provided for him." "I will see who separates my son from me!" "It's all over." "I can't make you see reason anymore." "Go ahead!" "Take all the wealth you want!" "Buy yourself a factory!" "Here's a blank check." "Fill in a sum that will... keep poverty away from your family for at least 7 generations!" "But please return my son to me!" "Please return my son to me!" "You're a father." "And you're trying to "buy" a son." "Okay, I take all this wealth." "And now... I will pay you back for your wealth." "I will be a slave to you for the rest of my life." "In return, please give that child to me." "Forget the child, give me the cradle that lies in your room." "That's the cradle your wife is sentimental about." "Will you be able to give it to me?" "Will you?" ""You had only found the child..." "you're not his father, Babu"" ""Will you snatch his parents' rights and mar the child's future?"" ""Raju is his flesh and blood"" "Where have you brought me?" " This is your destination." "What does that mean?" "I can't even touch Badshah because Sultan wants him alive." "But you must avenge your humiliation." "And you're free to do it." "That is Badshah's house." "My name is Mamta." "The woman who did not have a child even after many years of marriage." "I prayed so very much and God gave me a son." "And He snatched that child away from me too." "I have begged of God for seven long years!" "But He was always silent." "For seven long years, I missed my son... I cried for him... but God did not return my child to me!" "You mean more than God to me... because you have given my son a new lease of life." "You have shaped his destiny." "You educated him, instilled in him good values... and made a good human being out of him." "God could not give me the boon." "But you can today give it away to me as charity." "I beg of you... please return my child to me!" "Please give Raju to me." "Should you be stone-hearted... no human will ever have faith in humankind again." "Break your silence..." "give me my son." "Please don't refuse me." "Please don't turn me down." "Let's go, Mamta." "Your tears could perhaps even move God... but not this man." "His silence speaks for him." "Let's not face any more humiliation." "Let's go." "I have no right to be forgiven by you." "Nor am I worthy of your love." "I'm the unfortunate girl who has ruined her own life." "I'm the cursed girl who had happiness at her feet... but who squandered it away in suspicion." "And here I was today, to kill you with my own hands!" "But I have realized... you are a great human being." "I'm shattered, Badshah..." "I'm plunged in darkness." "I need your support;" "I need you." "I need your love." "Forgive me, Badshah." "I take a pledge today." "I shall live only for you." "I will belong only to you." "Babu Lohar has set an example in humanity and kindness." "According to the testimony of Inspector Pradhan... the court reaches the conclusion that Raju's real parents... are Mr. and Mrs. Oberoi." "Babu Lohar is directed to hand over the child to his real parents." "Let's go, Raju..." " No." "I will not leave my father." "I'm going nowhere!" "No...!" "Father!" "No..." "leave me alone!" "I won't leave my father!" "Let me go to him!" "Badshah shares a very old relationship with this piece of bread." "It was with this piece of bread that I turned him into an animal." "He lived off me." "He was my faithful dog." "And he now rebels against me, the moment he turns human again?" "No!" "I don't want the human!" "I want my animal again!" "I want Badshah!" "I only want my Badshah!" "Look at this fire engine!" "With its lights blinking..." "Know what's the best?" "The jumbo-jet." "I want to go to my father." "Eat anything you want." "Do you want something else?" "I want to go to father." " Have some sweets, son." "Mother!" "I can't live without father!" "Please take me to him, Mom!" "I can't live without him." "Mother, Aditya..." "I want to ask you for something." "Now that I have found my son, I've realized... that I have perhaps lost him forever." "To see their children happy is the one desire all parents have." "But I have made my son sacrifice his happiness... for my own selfishness!" "But I'll never be a self-centered woman, because I'm a mother." "How can I snatch my son's happiness just because I want him back?" "No..." "I'll be content to see my son living happily anywhere he chooses." "He may live with anyone he chooses." "In his happiness lies my happiness." "I wish to return Raju's joys to him." "I you to support me." "I don't want to lose, even as I win." "And he'd win, even after losing." "Who are you?" "What do you want?" "Where are you taking the child?" "Give this bread to Babu..." "he'll explain." "Babu!" "They've taken my son away!" "Once we took Raju home, we realized he couldn't live without you." "So we were on our way here,... when some gangsters forcibly took him away." "Who were they?" " l don't know." "But they sent this bread for you and said you'd know." "Take him away!" "Badshah's life lies trapped in this kid." "In exchange for the kid's life... I will make Badshah my slave again." "Badshah was, is, and shall always remain my slave!" "I had told you not to mess with my life, Sultan!" "I will have your life today!" "Badshah, my son!" "I'm like your father!" "For the sake of the relationship I can never forget!" "You had left me!" "I had no other way to bring you back to me." "I am obsessed with you, my son!" "But you love that boy." "So take him and go someplace far away." "Go on, son." "Father!" "Father!" "You have revolted against me because of this bloody kid!" "You will be punished, Badshah!" "Father!" "I will punish you in the most spine-chilling manner!" "These are the killer dogs that will feast on your innocent boy... and you will be able to do nothing about it!" "Every traitor and ingrate is punished with death!" "And the death of this child will kill the human in you!" "It will kill you!" "No, Sultan!" "Father!" "Help!" "Father!" "No, Sultan!" "You can't do this!" "Let him go!" "Help!" "Leave my son alone!" "Let him go!" "Let him go, please!" "Help, father!" "Father!" "Kill him!" "Please protect my father, God." "Father!" "Go there, Sawant." "What's happened to you, my son?" "!" "You're bleeding!" "Are you okay?" "Where are you going, father?" "Please don't leave me." "I want no one else except you." "I can't live without you!" "I will not let you go!" "You will stay with your parents." "And that's an order!" "Do you understand?" "Do you hear me?" "Go on!" "I will obey your every command, father." "I know you can't spend a moment without me." "But if you want me to live with my parents... that's okay." "I can do anything for your happiness, father." "And what you're doing is for my future and welfare, isn't it?" "I can't live without you, father." "But I will try to do it, just to obey you." "I'm leaving, father..." "My son!" "Don't ever leave me, father..." "Never." "Our happiness and joys lie in our son, Babu." "But without you, there's a void in his life." "For his sake then... can't you live with us as a member of our family?" "When God is happy, everyone reaches his goal." "My life is made too!" "It's thanks to you, that I'm a father today." "We have a son." "And he has taken after me." "Really?" "Let me take a look."
