"Chandangad" " Porter!" " Yes?" "To the Thakur's Mansion" "You seem new around here." "Don't you know?" "All the Thakur's have been got rid of" "You shouldn't venture out there alone" "But I must" " I reached in the nick of time." " Dr. Pandey, you still in this town?" "Come, I've to collect you." " Porter!" " Yes, sir?" "Keep the luggage in the buggy" " Please..." " Let's go" "So, the Mansion is a haunted house now" "Time takes its toll" "I too feel scared to approach it." "But I can't leave my job either" "In fact, there's no need of a doctor there at all" "Nobody dies of any illness there." "He's murdered!" "Your Uncle nearly met with the same fate, but I reached there" "Tried my best to take him to a hospital but he died in route" "Looks as though this isn't a man's job" "That's what bugs me" " What the hell is going on?" " It's natural" "It's 20 years now since your Grandpa was murdered" "Then, your father." "What can one say?" "Your Uncle firmly believed that the family was cursed" "He had even declared a reward to catch the murderer" "Even then, nothing happened." "Even the police are stumped" "And what if something happens to me?" "Well, according to the will I should inherit the estate" "But a few days before, or after your Uncle's death..." "Mr. Mohan came here to ask for his share of the estate" "Who's he?" "The same man whose father quarreled with your Grandpa" "But that quarrel wasn't over the estate." "It was a different issue" "Anyway, leave all this." " What does Mohan do here?" "That's a riddle too." "Actually, something's wrong with his legs" "But, with the support of a crutch he's always roaming around" "Seeing all this, I wasn't keen for you to come back from London" "Honestly, your life's in danger" "The Mansion's old servant." "Laxman" "I understand" "I understand, sir" "I live across the swamp." "If you need me, call me over" "Actually..." "Laxman!" "You must've done what I had told you to do" "Okay then, Kumar." "I've some very important job to do" " Goodnight." " Goodnight." "See you..." "Come, sir" "The whole staff, servants of this Mansion ran off" "I would've gone too, but since you were to come, I remained here" "Again the same room." "A landlord..." "All the landlords..." "they all stayed in this room" "That door..." "It opens..." "straight towards the swamp" "The same jingling of the anklets..." "And all the landlords were murdered" "Laxman..." "I'll stay in this room" "In this room?" "Fine" "In the daylight this city seems to be even more beautiful" "There's spring everywhere" ""My beautiful childhood dreams twinkle in my eyes"" ""My beautiful childhood dreams twinkle in my eyes"" ""When the clouds loom overhead, they pierce my heart"" ""When the clouds loom overhead, they pierce my heart"" ""My lonely heart fears that the time is passing by"" ""My lonely heart fears that the time is passing by"" ""How to pass these confused times..."

"How I wish, I could stop it"" ""My lovely childhood dreams sway in my eyes like blossom"" "A white hunter, in the village, eh?" "He shoots birds..." "that too with a gun!" "Even then, he missed the target!" "Shall I kill a few?" "Birds, I mean" "Mr. Bird-shooter, if you're so keen to hunt, then go shoot a tiger" "The sound of your gun scared my goats to a stampede" "Now who'll go after them and bring them back home?" "I'm talking to you." "Did you hear me or not?" "Go and gather my goats!" "No answer." "He doesn't know Hindi" "Well sir, how do you do?" "You're not mental, are you?" "Still quiet?" "This man isn't deaf, is he?" "Right." "I am Radha." "I'll try and make him understand" "Look." "Those goats there..." "they are mine." "Mine" "Because of the noise from your gun..." "Noise... they got scared and ran helter-skelter here and there" "Go collect them and bring them to me." "Okay" "Now, go and get them" "He doesn't even bat an eyelid." "May be he's blind too" "Oh, I see." "Can't hear, can't see then, why is he shooting?" "Even if a few birds die, he can surely pick them..." "Great!" "Run Radha... if he can see you, he'll be after you" "Hey, that's blood." "I'm very sorry" "One who can bear to watch fish writhe out of water" "Why is he so upset seeing a little blood?" "Corpses don't move me at all, but..." "It's not necessary that one who possesses anklets is the killer" "And it isn't necessary that a man carry them around without a reason" "If you take the trouble to come to my place at night you'll get an answer to this query too" "Kumar is still at the Mansion." "I don't think he'll come now" "I think so too." "This time we're dealing with a smart alec" "But at times, too much smartness proves dangerous too" "Master!" "What's that noise?" "Nobody can survive here." "Nobody!" "It's cast..." "It's been cast..." "The murderous evil eye of has been cast on a member of this family, yet again" " Revenge!" " Revenge?" " Revenge..." " What revenge?" "Laxman!" "You want to hide something, eh?" "20 years ago, when your Grandpa became the Lord of the Manor he played games with the women of this village, married or unmarried" "But this girl ran away." "The daughter of the headman of Rampur ran away before he could rape her" "No!" "Leave me alone." "Let me go!" "No!" "No!" "From that night a fearsome ghost was born in this village" "That night, when the headman came to the Mansion at night and begged for his daughter's honor your Grandpa had him whipped mercilessly" "Got him thrown away..." "But why was this picture hung here?" "It was hung..." "It was hung here so that no man from the family should ever repeat the blunder" "Everybody knows everything about this Mansion in detail" "But nobody knows anything about the killer!" "No, they don't" "Uncle, no doubt you're the village medic but you're always coughing." "Thank God, I don't fall sick" "And even if I do, I won't get treated from you!" "My dear, this cough is due to my old age." "It won't go now" "You and your cat are both alike." "You can't know your illness" "And she doesn't know her own people!" "Put your whiskers down, else, no food!" "Coming... wherever I turn, noise all around" "Silly girl" " It's the same ghost" " What?" "That crying..." "I'm scared that it may not take my life?" " It's possible." "Quite possible" "My thoughts exactly." "I can tackle one ghost" "But here there are ghosts all over." "One in the house" "One in the village." "And one in the swamp too!" "Who are you?" "So!" "You roam around here to kill all the Landlords, eh?" "No..." "I've just come here." "I'm a detective." "A spy" "And about the killer, I've come to catch him and claim the reward" "Good you came, the killer can't be caught at all" "How can he be?" "Here, people catch hold of the detective instead!" "Could the real murderer be on guard ahead?" "I say..." "The road is dangerous" "Road is dangerous indeed!" "Hey, what's this?" "I say... help!" "Can you hear me?" "Save me" " I told you it was dangerous" " Save me!" "Don't get panicky" "I told you the road was dangerous" " Save me, oh please!" " Don't be scared." "Be brave" " Oh God, I'll die now" " Don't go there." "Try to catch this" " Go on, try" " A bit lower" "Catch it... come on." " Okay?" " Yes" "I'm letting it go now." "Right." "I've let it go" "Stretch your foot and put it there" " Where?" " Here, over here" "The ground is hard here." "Catch hold of me." "Come on, now" " You are very lucky, sir" " Thank you." "You saved my life" "That's my profession." "I'm the village physician, Ramlal" " And I'm Gopichand, a detective" " Where were you heading?" " I've forgotten" " Was it the Manor?" "Yes... the Manor" "Then follow this road" " No danger there, is there?" "No 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20..." "I read about your father in my Uncle's diary" " He was a renowned detective" " Yes" "And what about you?" "I'm a great detective too, that's why I survived the swamp ordeal" "Any other man in my place, would be with the Lord now!" "I think, you will catch the killer soon" "I'm in no hurry at all" "If you make arrangements for my stay here, since I'm broke then I'll catch the killer, even after he kills you!" "Then you must certainly stay here!" "Laxman..." " Who's this Laxman?" " My servant." "Why?" "Five years ago, a dacoit named Laxman had escaped from jail" " This Laxman isn't that same..." " Master?" "Laxman, this detective will stay here." "See to all the arrangements." "Okay?" " Come" " Mr. Detective..." "Listen, had you ever been in jail?" " No..." "I haven't been to jail." " But you will now." " What's the matter?" " Nothing." "Nothing at all." "Didn't you take the goats to graze?" "They're bleating with hunger." "If they're hungry, they'll go themselves." "They know the grass and the way too" " You're well, aren't you, my dear?" " Yes, I am" " Oh Uncle!" " What is it, dear?" " Oh Uncle..." " Go, my dear" "Worried about the goats, but not me!" "At my age, I'm worried only about you." "Now go on..." "Come along, Uncle's darling..." "Go straight to the meadow, okay?" "Go on..." "Hurry up now" "Come on..." "You too" "Why are you making a fuss now?" "Come along now." "Come on" "Come on..." "Please come, sir" "You come with me, okay?" "You hunted the address and now you're asking me if it's my house?" " I came here..." " I came here, eh?" "There's no cure for your illness here" "Go to the Manor and you'll be taken care of very well" "Shall I go then?" "Hey!" "That's not the way." "It's the other way" "Can't you see, I've to go out?" "So get aside" "Don't the villagers offer water to the thirsty ones?" "Did I dream that you were thirsty?" "You're the limit!" "God knows where they come from!" "Get some more" "Isn't your thirst quenched?" "When alive, the thirst of the Lords of the Manor of this village was never quenched till today, nor will it ever be" "And the whole world knows that's it's not your fault, sir" "Worshipping beauty is in your blood" " Mohan!" "My silence will neither change your habits nor your fate" "Even then..." "That's Ramlal." "Radha's Uncle" "If you're thinking of abducting Radha, then go ahead and murder" " Mohan!" " But his cough doesn't get better and he keeps coughing" " I don't like the way you talk" " To each his own" " Mohan..." " Come Ramlal." "Look, who's here!" "The last heir to the Chandangad Estate, Kumar Vijay Singh" "Kumar, in my house?" "Radha... where are you?" "Radha, look who's here..." "Come here, my dear." "She'll meet him some other time, sir" "Why did you take the trouble, sir?" "You could've called me at the Manor" "I can never forget how much your forefathers have obliged me" "How can you?" "Well Ramlal, even after the murder of his Uncle do you still believe that it wasn't the work of some ghost?" "Mohan, pull my leg all you want." "But I've said it before and I'll say it again." "Ghosts don't kill in this manner" "I think, it's a shrewd man posing as a ghost who's doing it all" "But I've heard that God punishes those who terrorize others." "Right, I'll go now." "You're staying back?" "Yes" "I'm very glad to know that you don't believe in ghosts and spirits" "If only I would know the secret of the anklets..." "That's the problem." "Nobody knows anything" "Tonight I'll go towards the swamp" "You're repeating the same mistake that your forefathers did" "Let alone..." "Your family is cursed as it is" "Death is inevitable, Uncle." "Anyway, we'll meet again" "Why are you sitting in the dark?" "Light the lamp, my dear" "What are you thinking about?" "Why do the Lords of the Manor go in the swamp to die?" "Why do they go there..." "that's very difficult to tell" "A pitch-black night..." "9:30 p.m. Jingle of the anklets..." "What link does that sound have with the death of the Landlords is very hard to tell" "Uncle, what if Kumar doesn't venture near that swamp?" "I tried to stop him but did he listen?" "My dear, that's the curse on these Lords of the Manor" "Nobody can help them" ""Somewhere there burns a lamp, elsewhere a heart"" ""Come and take a look O' beloved..."" ""Which is your destination?"" ""Somewhere there burns a lamp, elsewhere a heart"" ""My song is the cry from my heart"" ""Wherever I am, therein lies your love"" ""My song is the cry from my heart"" ""Wherever I am, therein lies your love"" ""My heart is your merriment"" ""Come and take a look O' beloved..."" ""Where are you heading?"" ""Somewhere there burns a lamp, elsewhere, a heart"" "No, I can't do this." "What if you get arrested again?" "I'll have to go to jail again." "But first I'll have to finish that job for which I had to escape from jail." "Tonight you..." "Dr. Pandey?" "First, it was the anklets jingle that pulled your forefather to the swamp." "Now, there's a song added!" "What are you doing here so late at night?" "I..." "I had been to see a patient" "The climate of this village is so good that nobody falls sick and dies" "But gets murdered" "I'll leave" "No, doctor... no" "If I want, I can knock you out within 5 minutes" "See this injection?" "It can kill a person in a jiffy" "No, doctor... no!" "Brace yourself now" "Finish, eh?" "My God!" "Who's there?" "Who is it?" "I'm detective Gopichand" " Detective?" " Is that man dead?" "You can go now" " Yes?" " Wait a minute" "Well doc, if a man dies..." "I mean if he's murdered..." " Then..." " Then?" "Then, you'll have to give his death certificate..." "I mean, a doctor will have to give it, right?" " If need be..." " Then, give me one in advance please" "Don't worry." "If such an opportunity arises I'll be very happy to do this for you" "I'm a doctor." "I can do as I wish" ""I can do as I wish", eh?" "Look." "If you're a doctor, I'm a detective too" "I too have proofs that can help me catch the killer in a jiffy" " Really?" " Police means trouble!" " What are you getting at?" " That's what I'm trying to tell" "The reward to catch the killer is Rs. 10,000/-, right?" "Yes" " Good." "And here there's just one buggy which belongs to you." "Right?" "Yes" " Very good" " So?" " If you give me just 5,000/..." "I'll seal my lips forever" "And I'll scoot from this place now this very minute, if you wish" "You really are a clever detective" "You understand, eh?" "Well, how about the cash?" " Bahadur!" " Does he keep the cash?" " Bahadur!" " Shall I make him lie on the table too?" "Come, sir" "Is this man crazy?" "Go and get some water!" "Okay then, I'll go now." "I've the proof but not the witness" "That's why I wanted to make a deal at Rs. 5,000" "Even Rs. 2,000" " Would have done" "After having turned every stone at the site of the murder it was found that there was an underground tunnel there" "Whoever you are, come out" " Here I am." " You?" "Here?" "This is the only place here where a man can spend some time in peace" "You chose a good spot but even then, let's go" "Why?" "Scared of the murderer, eh?" " Scared of death" " O my God!" "Come on... come on" "Dear Lord..." "What a place!" "O' Lord!" "Another snake, sir" " So what?" " So what, eh?" "You scared me back there" "Can't you see?" "It's a python" "I know" "What's this?" " A tunnel beneath the trees" " Yes" "Yes?" "It's something to think over" " Then, you think it over" " Oh?" "I don't understand any of this" " Greetings, Mr. Gopichand" " Greetings..." "Greetings, I said, Mr. Gopichand" "Oh, Radha..." "I thought, it was the ghost" "I've really lost my marbles after coming here" "Even a girl sitting on a tree seems like a ghost to me" "Do you know?" "There's a tunnel near the site of the crimes" " I know." " You know?" "You're excited as though you've caught the killer!" "This is a village." "Nothing can be hidden here" " You mean, everybody knows it?" " Yes." "And do you know..." " Yes?" " All the villages around here know it too!" " Really?" "Then why am I getting so upset?" " For nothing" "Had the murderer been a human I'd have caught him within 24 hours" " You, sir?" " Yes, me" "Unbelievable!" "Honestly, this is not the work of a human, but a spirit" "And to trap a spirit, one needs a sorcerer" "We don't need bullets, we need "mantras"" "Then, what are you doing here?" "I'll go away right now, but..." "what about my return fare?" "I tell you, whenever I think of leaving, the villagers get emotional" "They sob and say, Detective sir, if you leave will that ghost spare us?" "You're the only one it's scared of" "Then I also stay back thinking if I really leave what'll happen to these folks and Kumar too!" "That's why..." "Eh?" "She has gone!" "I'm trying to finish your unfinished diary, Uncle" "But I don't know whether I'll be able to do so" "Chandangad is still a puzzle, even today" "The same wailing, the jingle of anklets..." "The same haunting silence, and fear..." "Whom do I suspect?" "The more I try to solve it, the harder it gets" "The sound of that plaintive song at night" "It's like a cry of somebody's unfulfilled love" ""Somewhere a lamp burns, elsewhere, a heart"" ""Just come and see O' beloved..." "what's your destiny"" ""Somewhere a lamp burns, elsewhere a heart"" ""My song is a cry from my heart"" ""Wherever I am there lies your love"" ""My song is a cry from my heart"" ""Wherever I am there lies your love"" ""My heart is your merriment."

""Somewhere a lamp burns, elsewhere a heart"" ""I am neither a dream nor a mystery"" ""But a plaintive cry"" ""I am neither a dream nor a mystery"" ""But a plaintive cry"" ""Please don't be late, come and meet me"" ""Come and see, my beloved..."" ""What's your destiny"" ""Somewhere a lamp burns, elsewhere a heart"" ""There are many here who are against love"" ""Take care with whom you see eye to eye"" ""There are many here who are against love"" ""Take care with whom you see eye to eye"" ""The killer is in various forms"" ""The killer is in various forms"" "What I took to be a call of death may be it's a cry for love" "Whether it's a cry for death or love, we die for both" "But the point is, if it's a ghost calling out..." "Why didn't it call you to the site of the murder?" "And if it's for love, then why not come face to face?" " Something's fishy." " Be patient." "When the times comes you'll come to know too" "Laxman!" "He has to be the same Laxman who broke from the jail." "Right!" "I see..." "So Laxman is the murderer" "But who is he signaling to?" "I'll catch him right now" "Eh?" "Laxman's disappeared!" "My God..." "Kumar sir..." "Mr. Kumar..." "Coffee, sir" "Where's my black coat?" "My overcoat is missing too" "Mr. Kumar, I've something very urgent to say to you" " I know who the murderer is." " You do?" "Yes" "How could he escape my beady eye?" " Who is he?" " The one whom I always suspected." " Laxman." " Coffee." "Coffee, Master." "What's the matter?" "You're sweating profusely." "So did my father." "I just met Kumar little while ago." "He's from such an aristocratic family, but so simple." "Shall I go there, too?" "May I?" "Kumar said you had a fight with him?" "I just had a spat with him." "Had you been there... you would've examined his head." "He panicked the goats with his gun" "And when I asked him about it, he pretended to be deaf-dumb" "I took a pitcher full of water and he drank it all." "So simple!" "That's why he has come here to die!" "No matter what you say." "Look Uncle, if I meet him I'll give him such a sermon that he'll run away from this village forever!"

" Okay, I will" "I'll keep an eye, but now you go away from here." "Go" "There!" "Look at that, Kumar sir" "I'm going towards the swamp." "You keep an eye on Laxman" "Tonight is the last night" "The body is gone!" "No I won't believe this." "Kumar can't die" "It can't be possible, I won't believe it" "It can never be." "I'll never believe it" "Someone has died today, tomorrow it will be somebody else" "Mr. Kumar, you're still alive?" " Looks like it." "Why?" "I thought something else." "Well, anyway..." "Tell me, why don't you talk?" "A man from the village is murdered and you refuse to identify him" "Look again." "Turn him over" "Sir, we've never seen this man" "Okay, cover him up" " Same old reply." " Whose?" "Who else?" "Mr. Kumar" "I told him so many times..." " He won't leave the village, will he?" "That's what hurts me" "An incarnation of this era!" "He'll become a martyr now." "He'll fly the Royal Standard high." " It was high, my dear" "His father respected me so much." "He called me Civil surgeon" "Do you know, my dear?"

"M and save Kumar?" "Nothing could be better" " Kumar, sir..." " Yes?" "There's no doubt that Laxman stole your coat and gave it to that swamp-thief!" " That I can't say" "But there's no doubt that because he wore my clothes..." "Wait" "You mean, the killer took him to be you, and killed him by mistake!" "Thank God you don't venture towards the swamp at night" "When the murder took place I was very much in the swamp!" "Yes, but before the murder someone pushed me and I fell down" "Pushed you, eh?" "Then it must be a ghost" "One who has nobody to weep over his death..." "Why did you get so upset over his death?" "How was I to know, you didn't die?" "Had I died would you have been happy?" "What?" "I just wish that God grants me a very long life and..." "I can watch you like this forever" "But I'm scared of the devil."

"Then take my life and save Kumar" "I'm not begging." "But you will lose against my prayers" "Still I plead..." "Give me courage and keep Kumar" "Answer me, O' Lord." "Answer me" "Give Kumar a long life." "Please Lord" "Answer my prayers O' Lord." "Do something" "Radha!" "You?" "You're here so late in the night?" "Alone..." "Why, Radha?" "What will people say?" "This is the blessing from the Lord for your long life" "Please take it." "My life?" "Why not?" "Come with me." "Come on" "All of them did so much for this village, that they were revered" "And then..." "This painting here" "My Grandpa's." "Because of his ill-deeds, my family was cursed." "My father... he was murdered" "My uncle... he was killed too" "Radha..." "I may be knowing what's in your mind" "And I think about it all the time" "But even then I can do nothing." "You don't know how helpless I am." "How hopelessly helpless" "See this empty space Radha" "One of these days my portrait will be hanging there!" "Kumar!" "You... why do you think in this way?" "My thinking or not thinking will hardly make a difference" "A man was killed because he wore my clothes..." "How long will I survive the curse on my family?" "Why don't you leave this wretched estate?" "My leaving the estate will not end the curse" "Wonder which unhappy woman's wail it is" "If a woman's wail has so much power that she destroy a dynasty" "Then a woman's love is as powerful to smother that wail itself!" "Radha!" "Radha, if you've so much confidence in your love then it'll be as you say" "Come, let's go" "Radha, in the Manor at night?" "All alone?" "Uncle..." "Uncle..." "Dear Uncle..." "You're great!" "Uncle..." "Why don't you say something?" "You haven't even lit a lamp." "Sitting in the dark, are you?" "Uncle..." "Tears in your eyes?" "Uncle..." "What's happened to you?" "Uncle, tell me." "Please, Uncle" "You won't tell me, eh?" "Wiping tears will not wipe away the stigma" "Stigma?" "Why are you talking like this today?" "One small excuse is enough to sling mud at a poor man's respect" "And you've given them such a big chance, Radha" "You went to the Manor at night, all alone?" "Do you realize what you've done?" "You've trampled your family's respect with your own feet!" "Uncle!" "I just went..." "A pebble can't replace a gem." "It never has, it never will" "You forgot your own worth and went to the Manor" "Won't the people tease us now?" " Uncle, please" "How will I face them?" "You've ruined me completely" "Uncle, I swear on your head, I've not sinned" "I've not done anything to be ashamed of" "I have that much faith in you, dear" "Else instead of me, you'd have found my corpse here!" "Uncle!" "If you really care for me then stop seeing Kumar completely" "Uncle!" "Don't say that" "Okay." "You decide for yourself." "Either Kumar or my life" "O, Uncle!" "First I thought, I'd catch the murderer" "But now I have no hopes at all" "If you know any small detail about the killer, then..." " What killer are you talking about?" " What?" " You mean there are many here?" " I don't know about others" " But I am one murderer!" " You?" "Yes" "I barred Radha from meeting Kumar, so she has stopped eating" "Now tell me, how long will she survive without food?" "2-4 days" "If she dies within 2-4 days, won't I be charged with murder?" "Of course you will be!" "Without any doubt." "I'll go now" " I'm going back..." " You're not going." "You're coming" "I've come to tell you that this time I'm really going" "Okay" "You don't think that I'm going in the next room, do you?" "No" "No." "But I also know that you can't go back to the city" " Why?" " Because you still haven't got the reward money!" "That's true." "But tell me, when there are murderers by the dozen..." " What can I do on my own?" " But I'm with you" "Do you think your name isn't on the list of murderers?" "If that girl dies, you'll be regarded as the murderer" " Which girl?" " Radha, whom you've trapped in a web of love." "The poor girl's starving for days now" "Do you think, she will live?" ""O love, you had no business to come in my life"" ""Before you came, there wasn't any mention of grief in my life..."" ""O love, you had no business to come in my life"" ""Don't know, why I've everything against the world today"" ""Don't know, why I've everything against the world today"" ""Before this, nobody was guilty of anything"" ""O love, you had no business to enter my life"" ""I was destined to cry"" ""I was destined to cry"" ""And there was no love in my lot"" ""O love, you had no business to come in my life"" ""O giver of life, you only gave me love"" ""O giver of life, you only gave me love"" ""Wasn't I at peace before being struck by love?"" ""O love, you had no right to enter my life"" "Radha..." "Radha..." "What's wrong with you?" "Tell me the truth, Radha." "What's the matter?" "Uncle doesn't want us to meet each other" "You got so upset over such a small thing?" " Come on, get up." " Uncle will kill himself" "If we let him die for our love, then love will be slandered forever" "If it's true love, then it forces even the Almighty to bow to it" "And Uncle is but a man." "No Radha." "This cannot be" " I won't let you do this." " I don't understand" "I don't know what to do?" "Please leave me alone" " I'll see you later." " And I'll wait for you" "Come, my dear" "Will you say something or just go on crying like this?" "Tell me, my dear." "What do you want from me?" "Don't you know, your happiness, peace of mind, is my life's wish" "O' Uncle..." "Okay my dear, you can be sure that I've taken my decision back" "No, I don't want my happiness at the cost of yours" " I know, you don't really wish it." " I do my dear." "Honestly" "What could give me more joy than Kumar accepting you?" "Uncle!" "O' Uncle..." "Who knows God's will?" "It could be that, if your love is true the curse on the landlord's of Chandangad may end forever" "Uncle..." "I always knew that you're not hard hearted" "In this whole world you love only me, don't you?" "Get lost!" "I must also meet Kumar now, mustn't I?" "Okay, ask him to meet me in the temple near the swamp so that I can talk things over with him" "No..." " Go on" "Don't waste time, my dear." " I won't go" "So!" "Tonight Kumar will be at the temple near the swamp" "Maybe, tonight is my night" " Ramdhin!" " Sir!" "Before our secret gets out..." "We must change the plans" "Radha!" "No, nothing very special." "Just a small party at my place" "If you can attend the party, I'll consider myself very fortunate" "At night?" "Okay, I'll come." " Thank you very much" "Greetings, Mr. Ramlal" " Greetings, Mr. Gopichand" "Collecting shoots and roots are you?" " Yes." " I see." "Didn't you ask me about the killer that day?" "I won't now." "Ever!" "If you won't tell anyone, shall I tell you something?" "Why should I tell anyone anything?" "That day Kumar asked me how was Radha, but I hardly told him that she was refusing to eat!" " Mr. Gopichand..." " Yes?" "I've noticed that a man hides behind that hill all day" "And then at night he's wandering about in the swamp" "Wanders about, eh?" "Then he must be the murderer" "I'll go and set him straight right this minute!" "Hands up!" "Gopichand?" " Come along, Mr. Murderer" "Where, the police station?" " No, to the Taj Mahal at Agra!" "Come along" "Inspector..." "I've caught the murderer" "Hey you, lock him up!" "Come on, hurry up" "Inspector..." " What's the matter?" " Ask me, what's not the matter!" " I've caught the murderer" " You?" "Yes!" " Where is he?" "There he is!" " Inspector..." " Yes sir?" "Did you post the letter I sent you?" "Yes sir" "Right." "Mr. Gopichand, sit down" "Have I come to the wrong place?" "Is this a police station or..." " There goes my reward money." " Gopichand..." "You are interested in the reward money, eh?" "I was, but not anymore!" "Inspector... the D.S.P. Has called me to the city at once" "I'll have to go by the first train." "But tonight..." "Be alert, Inspector" "You can also try your luck" "Inspector..." "Police detective, Mr. Tripathi" "I don't believe it." "It can't be" "Shout!" "Shout all you want and ruin everything!" " Say what you want." " Silence!" "I'll kill you!" " Then, kill me!" " Laxman!" "No, I won't." "I won't..." "I won't believe it" "Laxman, who's this girl?" "Murdered." "The man who was killed that night was her husband" " I asked you, who this girl is." " Sister." "My sister" "He was a jail-breaker." "My brother-in-law" "I didn't keep him in the Manor" "He lived in the swamp." "My sis asked me to signal him with a lantern" "So that she could take food to him when it was safe" "I used to tell her to make him go somewhere very far" " But she used to cry." " And you shut her mouth every night" "So that I won't hear her crying." " Yes" " Then?" " I stole..." "I only stole your black coat" "He agreed." "My brother-in-law agreed to go away from here" "And then..." "You kept your sister here without permission because you love her" "A sister who loves her husband so much that she refuses to accept his death." "You just told her that her husband is dead?" "Why didn't you let her see with her own eyes that she was a widow?" "She has gone mad." "The moment she heard of her husband's death..." " She became mad." " I won't believe it" "It's the Lords of the Manor that are cursed, not my husband" "He can't die!" "He can never die!" " You'll have to take care now" " So what?" "Thanks." "When will the doc come?" " Should be here soon" "I'm sorry, Kumar." "I had to see a patient" "But unfortunately, I couldn't save him" "Please sit down." "I'll just come" " Greetings, doctor" " Greetings" "Doctor, I lost this round" ""Somewhere there burns a lamp, elsewhere a heart"" ""Come and see dear beloved..." ""what you're destined for"" ""Somewhere there burns a lamp, elsewhere a heart"" ""I'm neither a dream nor am I a mystery"" ""But just a plaintive cry..."" ""I'm neither a dream nor am I a mystery"" ""But just a plaintive cry..."" ""Please don't be late in coming"" ""Come and see dear beloved, what you're destined for"" ""Somewhere there burns a lamp, elsewhere a heart"" " Did you see Kumar?" " Yes" " He went straight to the swamp." " To the swamp." "All alone!" " Radha!" " You!" "Had you not deceived me today, I'd have..." "I see" "By lying about fixing the marriage you had come to kill Kumar..." "You wanted to widow me before I even became a bride?" " But why?" " Why?" "To quench his lust, Kumar's grandpa had kidnapped my daughter Champa on her wedding night." "And Radha when I went to the Manor, to beg for your cousin's honor..." "But for one man's crime you wanted to finish off the whole lineage?" "That night, after regaining my senses, when I reached home..." "It would've been better had you let me die that day too" "At least I wouldn't be standing here like this in front of you today!" "Tell me, where Kumar is." "I beg you!" "Beg?" "Not for me, but your cousin." "Her soul's disturbed." "Where's Kumar?" "If this is how she'll find peace, then sacrifice me, Uncle!" "Follow him!" "Why did you come here?" " What more can a girl do?" " But I had forbidden you" "Uncle had asked me to bring Kumar in the temple near here" " To solve the problem..." " Where's Kumar now?" "Follow him" "Kumar's trapped in the tunnel" " What!" "Uncle..." "O, Uncle" "Who is it?" "Open the door" "Open the door, I say!" "Kumar" " So you're here, eh?" " You?" "May be God wishes it that I fulfill my vow" " You?" " Yes, me." "I'm the murderer" "It was me who for the past 20 years tied bells on a cat's feet and let it roam in the swamp" "And hearing the sound of those bells... you dare!" "May be Kumar was shot by the murderer" "There must be a way here somewhere." "Search" "Surround the place." "Go that way" "Hands up!" "Trapped at last!" "Ramlal, I always suspected that some shrewd man is behind this conspiracy" "Inspector, arrest him" "There's no way out here." " This is a dead end too, sir" "Then, where's he gone?" "Don't let him escape" "Here's the one with bells on her feet!" "Surrender yourself to the police" "You can't get away from this swamp" "Don't try to escape, Ramlal" "This is my final warning" "Don't try to run away" "Ramlal, don't try to run away." "Come down and surrender yourself" "Inspector..." "I got my punishment for the crimes I committed" "And Kumar..." "Radha's love for you has defended me today" "Radha..." "Please forgive me, my dear" "I'm very sorry, Dr. Pandey." "I always suspected you" "Anybody else in your place would've suspected Dr. Pandey too" "He always used to roam in the swamp to catch the killer" "No." "Ramlal killing again and again." "That haunting song at night..." "Radha used to sing the song." "To lure Kumar away from the swamp" "And Ramlal killed in revenge" " Revenge?" " This Ramlal is in fact, Radheshyam" "Whose daughter was abducted by the then Lord of the Manor" "That's it!" "Crime never pays" ""Somewhere there burns a lamp, elsewhere, a heart"" ""Come take a look my beloved"" ""What is your destination?"" ""Somewhere there burns a lamp, elsewhere, a heart""
