December 16, 1971.
It marked the end of the third war between India and Pakistan.
The months-long Bangladeshi freedom movement had finally won.
A new country was born…
Bangladesh.
As the Indian army left Dhaka,
two friends stood behind the barbed wire.
Two orphans, Bikram and Bala.
What had come to pass? Was it right or wrong?
Would this new country give them a new life?
Those questions echoed in their minds.
Move!
Come on!
Move!
When Bangladesh was born,
thousands of people of Indian origin were left…
without food or shelter.
In times of conflict, many countries forget
that their own people pay the highest price.
Thousands were lost in the darkness of death,
and that darkness was soon to engulf Bikram and Bala.
When hunger becomes overwhelming,
there's only one answer to the question…
Want to eat?
Will you work for me?
You'll feed us?
We'll do as you say.
That was a time when there were more guns than people.
Lateef bought weapons from the army
and sold them to ordinary folk.
Bikram and Bala became his newest recruits.
Go.
Innocent-looking children weren't suspected
or checked.
Police.
As time passed, the boys got smarter.
Soon, Bikram and Bala became Lateef's best gun couriers.
Lateef.
Your gun trade is thriving,
but what about my needs?
How will I satisfy them?
Sir, you know very well. There's nothing but skeletons in the camp.
You're right.
Tell you what…
Leave a boy here.
Sir?
Leave a boy here.
They're children.
Your daughter isn't a child.
Nor a skeleton.
But, sir?
Uncle, you take Bala and go. I'll stay.
Smart kid.
I said go!
My sins are many
And Your heart All-forgiving
Say something, Uncle.
What will he do to Bikram?
Let's go and get Bikram.
Stay here.
I'll go alone.
I go nowhere without him.
Bala!
Sir, let me go.
I beg you, sir.
He who accepts me as master Ali is his master
What are you doing here?
-Untie him. -Gun down!
Untie him. Or I'll blow your head off.
Bikram, get dressed.
Don't move!
Put that gun down.
Bala, run!
Bala,
wait.
Who fired?
Bikram! Run.
Stop them!
Uncle, we killed the moron.
-Who? -The mustache man.
-Gone! -Shot him.
He was an army officer. They won't spare you.
A refugee train is leaving for Calcutta. Take it.
Take some money.
May God protect you both.
Run!
At Your door
I bow my head
At Your door
I bow my head
You are my savior
Protector and Guardian
You are my savior
Protector and Guardian
Bala!
Run!
He who accepts me as master Ali is his master
Where are they?
He who accepts me as master Ali is his master
Look everywhere!
Maybe they were run over.
Pull the chain!
Go on!
We request all passengers.
Not to leave the station without their IDs checked.
If anyone tries to leave without verification…
…they'll be severely punished.
We request all passengers.
Not to leave the station without their IDs checked.
Your order. Fish and rice.
Bala! Who cleans table three?
Do you expect your mother or father to do it?
Go on!
These dimwits don't get it.
Good-for-nothing.
The moron.
Bala, what's wrong?
I can tell you're boiling with rage.
I could kill someone, that's why…
You boil over like hot milk.
Learn to use your anger.
It's very useful.
Forget it.
Look over there! I made you something.
Go on!
What is it?
A dream. It'll come true one day.
Meaning?
A palace. For you and me.
You'll see. We'll live in a palace some day.
Like true princes.
-Sure? -Take my thumbprint.
The top floor is where…
…I'll live.
And I'll stay in your heart.
You live there anyway.
Damn idlers! Having fun?
You're glaring.
I'll pull your eyes out.
Get out!
You Bangladeshi refugees.
Infesting our Calcutta. Out!
Let me go!
I'll split his head in two, burn his shop down.
Fighting won't get you anywhere. Your brains will…
I have no brains. But I know…
…one survives by grabbing.
We've escaped bullets, but hunger will get us.
The restaurant owner swore at us, but never fed us.
How do I calm my belly?
-How much for the coal? -10kgs for 2 rupees.
Wait a minute.
Brother, how much for the coal?
10kgs for 2 rupees.
That's a lot.
The market price.
The price will fall today.
-Come. -Where to?
The coal once saved our lives. It'll feed us now.
What now?
Bala, hurry!
Give me a break!
Done. Pull me up.
This coal will make us rich one day. You'll see.
-Sure? -Take my thumbprint.
Buying coal?
From you?
Does the star Rajesh Khanna supply you then?
-How much? -What's the market price?
-10kgs for 2 rupees. -We sell at half price.
20kgs here.
Here! Two rupees.
Put the coins in my hand.
Put them in my hand.
Don't mess with him. Do as he says.
Take this.
What's this?
Remember the cups I broke? Buy some more.
I see! So we're even now?
Now what?
Next time a child…
…breaks a cup…
…before you swear at him…
…remember this small hand and my tight slap.
Now we're even. Let's go, Bala.
Bala, run!
Celebrate the joys of love
The era of love is a celebration
But ours is a different style
There is a fire burning in our blood
This anger will flow now
The era of love is a celebration
But ours is a different style
There is a fire burning in our blood
This anger will flow now
On the door of love The heart is sitting on a strike
We don't have to live dying every moment
On the door of love The heart is sitting on a strike
We don't have to live dying every moment
We're the friends of storm We're fireballs
There is a little gunpowder of wishes In our heartbeat
Celebrate the joys of love
The world is iron and we're saw
We're bigger than everyone else
We have a half of friendship With the world
And half of friendship with God
The world is iron and we're saw
We're bigger than everyone else
We have a half of friendship With the world
And half of friendship with God
What we want, happens
The aces of spades
Every day of ours becomes a ball of fire
Celebrate the joys of love
Diwali again!
200 quintals of coal here.
We started with 20kgs ten years ago.
With interest, we must own at least 200 quintal, no?
Here comes your Tina!
I'll be riding Tina one day.
Sure?
-Take my thumbprint. -You liar!
Tina scares you.
Or do I tell you?
Tell Tina instead.
Or do I say nothing?
Lets go.
What's up, brother?
Found no one to play hide-and-seek with?
You Bikram and Bala?
That's what they call us. Any objection?
You robbed Dibakar's train.
What?
That train belongs to the don Dibakar.
Does this don Dibakar rule India?
Own the railways?
Think it's funny?
This coal trade is Dibakar's.
Trade? It's called thieving.
And the coal I rob…
…belongs to me.
And so does the trade.
Tone down your attitude. You'll regret it.
Attitude runs in my blood.
Your barking won't change that…
One minute.
Tell me something.
When is Dibakar's next train?
At 8 tomorrow. Why?
Tell your Dibakar.
We're robbing his train again.
If his guts are where they're meant to be…
…let him stop us.
Hey brothers! Tell me something.
Which of you rascals…
…is the rascal Dibakar?
You look angry. Must be you.
How come this train belongs to a petty pickpocket?
Let's not argue.
Let's clear up something.
Ask what…
Well, what?
The man who unloads the coal off the train…
…owns the train and runs the coal trade.
You dare show me attitude on my turf? Antics done?
The train and the coal are mine.
Rum?
Now watch me!
Whose train is it?
Mine.
It was mine and always will be.
It can never be yours. Know why?
You scum are Bangladeshi refugees.
Fugitives!
We're not refugees. We're Indians.
Are we to blame if the country got divided?
This side of the line makes you Indian.
That side of the line makes us refugees?
We didn't draw the line.
But now we will…
And our first domain will be the city of…
Calcutta.
The flames of pride are more dangerous than poison.
Fan those flames and they destroy all souls.
The poison of being refugees tormented Bikram and Bala.
They had only one aim.
To rule over all of Calcutta.
They controlled the coal.
The fish market.
Burma teak.
Steel scrap yards. Gas.
Wheat and oil.
Controlled every black market in town.
Calcutta was in their grip.
The one-time petty coal thieves were now…
…the city's big shots.
With one remaining desire.
The desire to become Indian citizens.
Your ration card.
Now you're legally Indian.
No one can dare call you refugees.
I can't read.
Bikram Bose. Bala Bhattacharya.
In the eyes of the law, they were criminals.
Yet benefactors to the needy.
They were illiterate.
Yet they built schools in their names, hospitals, too.
They lived by their own rules.
No one could match their attitude.
Long live Bikram and Bala.
Calcutta was now famous for two things:
The Howrah Bridge.
And Bikram and Bala.
The city's toughest outlaws.
Long live Bikram and Bala.
To every force there's a counter force.
I am the equilibrium in this tale.
Transferred me overnight?
Is Calcutta safe and sound?
If it were safe, would I call my best officer?
I'm under great pressure, Satya.
The elections and Durga festival are 3 weeks away.
Every political party has one concern:
To get the unemployed youth back on the right path.
Clean up the city.
That's government work. Why us?
Right.
Banerjee.
So many files?
Only two culprits. Bikram and Bala.
They're behind everything illegal.
Calcutta's biggest outlaws in the eyes of the law.
Yet benefactors to the needy.
Roaming scotfree. Outlaws since they were 14.
You called me to help them grow up?
Shall I try?
Yes. But we have no proof or witnesses.
Two peas in a pod.
Break them.
Your thumbprint here.
I keep saying: "Take my thumbprint." Now you won't stop.
Your work is done. These deeds are for Bala's shares.
He wants to be an artist. Won't stop painting Goddess Durga's eyes.
Try it, uncle. A good deed.
You'll go straight to heaven.
-Where are they? -Inside.
Lets go.
Where to?
Another word and I'll pull your tongue out.
What do you call them? Lions?
Bikram and Bala?
Show some respect.
Scum! Giving advice to sir?
Where are they?
Upstairs.
Das called from Dhanbad.
He wants us to sign the coal mine deal.
Put it down.
Who are Bikram and Bala?
Can't he tell?
A man stands before Goddess Durga and asks…
if she is the Goddess.
Smart. Very smart.
I'm Satyajit Sarkar.
The new Assistant Commissioner of Police.
Okay.
Calcutta's top cop?
But Calcutta belongs to us and we belong to Calcutta.
Sir.
Would you like a drink? What will you have?
Have? I'm here to give you… a warning.
You see these files?
They are a record of your black market deals.
The names of politicians are in those files too.
The law doesn't need files. It needs proof and witnesses.
-Teaching the law to the law, sonny? -Sir!
The law can get it wrong.
We respect the law.
The day you have proof and witnesses, we will come to you.
Right, Bala?
Right.
Smart. Very smart.
I'll take your word for it.
Let's close your old files…
and leave it at that.
I'm opening a new file.
The day we have proof against you,
I will drag you two like dogs out of your kingdom.
See you soon.
Sir.
You are a man of the law, but you act like an outlaw.
This will be fun.
Sure.
We'll see.
-Mr. Bose, how are you? -All well.
I came to return your money. Many thanks.
Has your club opened?
Not until you cut the ribbon.
Sure.
We love cutting.
Thank you.
I have one more request.
Give them.
Wow!
-You drew that? -Yes.
My nephew Himanshu just graduated from college.
It is difficult to find a job.
I cannot hire him at the club because his mother will kill him.
He respects you so much.
Please let him work for you.
This is not a football team where anyone can just sign up.
No football team for me.
Why not?
I don't like football, sir.
You are the first Bengali I have met who does not like football.
Tell you what,
keep him.
He will come in handy.
Okay. I'm off.
I've explained everything. He'll obey you.
-Stay here. -Okay.
Thank you.
Uncle!
Yes.
What is it?
Do something for me.
Invite Das to the club.
We will do the coal mine deal there.
Have you lost your mind?
Do the deal there? In a public place?
Didn't you hear the ACP?
Ever seen a sign that says "Do not urinate here"?
That is exactly where men pee the most.
The ACP won't come there.
Just call Das.
What a great club.
Hey! This is European style.
How do we use it?
Please come.
Lift your dhoti.
You're an Englishman now.
Madam! This is the gents. Can't you see?
Sure, I can.
-What? -This is the gents.
The ladies was full. I had to go. So?
Ladies aren't allowed.
I said sorry.
This is wrong.
Does the door have a sign…
…saying women need a license to enter?
Just relax.
Get back to your business. Nice and quiet.
What was that?
A bomb!
Exploded right in our face.
Love is…
…a fire, O Ghalib
That burns without burning
That cannot be extinguished
My peace of mind
Is in your hands, O beauty
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
My looks pierce like an arrow
I have you in my aim
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
-Hello. -Bikram and Bala are at the club.
Doing a deal with Das.
Sure?
Kill me or spare me
Keep me or discard me
Change my life's course
Fill it with joy
Fire burns in my heart
Meet me in some lonely hour
Under the beauty's shadow
Nature comes alive
Many fall under my spell
Crazed with love for me
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
Imagine a night like this
Imagine a moment like this
Imagine rain falling on us
Drenched by love are we…
In night's lonely journey
Love is unstoppable
Tossing and turning
Burning without flame
The beauty has set me alight
Take a deep breath and sigh
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
Can we raid the club without a warrant?
If we catch them with Das, no need of a warrant.
We book them. Get it?
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
I salute love, O friend
I salute love
Finish?
Done?
What is it?
Looking for something you've lost?
That's right.
I won't be lucky today.
If you're not fated to find it,
you won't. Even if you tried.
Luck was on their side today. Yours, too.
Luck has a way of turning.
When it does, they'll be mine.
Take care of yourself.
There's something I want to tell you.
Same here.
Let's say it together.
I've fallen in love with the bathroom lady.
Two hearts, same likes.
Bikram, she's so gorgeous.
Absolutely delicious.
What do we do?
We toss.
The winner tries his luck first.
The loser tries his luck after that…
Then it's up to the girl.
She'll decide who is her star, her Rajesh Khanna.
And I'll be Vinod Khanna.
Oh my God!
What's up?
I see Goddess Durga in her.
I swear it.
She looks like Goddess Kali.
See for yourself.
I see Durga in her, you'll see Kali.
I'll see who I see.
Yes, you!
Stop grinning.
What are you doing here?
Nothing.
Why were the police after you?
Police! After me?
Where's your friend?
Waiting his turn.
Meaning?
You here to buy fish?
I'll find you the city's best.
Brother, the best hilsa for madam.
It's fresh.
Take it.
How much?
Just a thank you.
Meaning?
I mean the fish is a gift from me.
You're gifting me a fish?
A hilsa at that?
In Calcutta it comes in a bride's dowry.
So accept it as dowry.
Dowry?
You acting smart?
Shall I call the police?
I'm off.
O beloved, let us go
Let us journey beyond the moon
I am ready to journey with you
O beloved, let us go
Let us journey beyond the moon
I am ready to journey with you
Sarita, come here.
Sarita, answer me!
Hurry up!
Tie this up.
Hurry! I'm on next.
Your hands are shaking.
Sarita! You?
I didn't mean to touch you. You told me to.
I came here because…
You came into the gents by mistake.
I made the same mistake.
We're even, no?
I'll make it even right now.
What time did they get back last night?
At six this morning.
Drunk as skunks.
And what were you doing? Drinking too?
Hello.
Do Bikram and Bala live here?
Yes.
Where?
Upstairs.
-You want to see them? -Yes.
How about tomorrow?
Today, right now.
Get up! Sleeping giants.
Let us sleep, uncle.
I'll be back later.
What's going on?
What are you two doing?
So you're Calcutta's biggest gangsters?
That doesn't mean you can do as you please.
What did you think?
I'm a cabaret dancer, I have no honor.
I'd happily end up in bed with one. Then the other.
We're honorable folk.
We love you.
You both do?
Yes!
I see.
One lover and one for free?
That's a new one.
Love doesn't run on a single track.
It needs two tracks.
To go straight to the heart…
…you need to win the heart.
So? We'll win your heart.
So confident?
Okay.
Agreed.
I'll give you a week.
Try winning my heart if you have the guts.
What if we manage it?
I, Nandita, give you my word.
I will belong forever to the one who wins my heart.
You made an entry in my heart Bells rang out
Listen to my heart's commentary
Don't delay
Love can't be stopped It'll soon engulf you
No warranty against heartbreak
You made an entry in my heart Bells rang out
Move!
What? You're supposed to be a big time gangster.
-I'm in love. -Sure?
Take my thumbprint.
All right!
No whistling
No winking
No hitting on me
Great lovers are sweet liars
Telling tall stories of love
Take from me
Vows of fidelity
We're under your spell Our hearts are yours
Many are my lovers
From all around the country
When I made my entry Bells rang out
Trying to win me with your sweet talk
Trying to get closer
You simpleton! You don't know me
Mistaking an ember for a star
I want you as you are…
You're my very life
I want you as you are…
You're the one I shall win
Sentiment is making you go all sentimental
When I made my entry Bells rang out
You made an entry in my heart Bells rang out
When I made my entry Bells rang out
You made an entry in my heart Bells rang out
-Please, madam. -What?
Did you hear bells ring?
Meaning?
It's been a week.
So it has.
Give us your answer.
I've made my mind up.
I like one of you.
I've given my word to Goddess Durga.
I'll worship Her with the man of my choice.
What's this?
A ticket.
To my heart.
Such a big question.
Deserves a fitting answer.
Tomorrow evening, at 6.
Metro cinema.
-Got the ticket. -…to her heart.
Their gangster talents are gone.
All for a girl.
Drunken swagger, rosy cheeks.
Not rosy…red.
The color of love is red.
The color of blood, too.
When a bullet or passion hits you, you're a goner.
Meaning?
Mister! Tread carefully On the path of love
A treacherous path it is…
This path of love
Shall we?
-Don't feel like it today. -Neither do I.
I am light-headed without alcohol.
My sweet Bala.
One of us becomes her hero tomorrow.
And the other is a round zero.
He'll cry. And believe that…
…he is a sinner for desiring his sister-in-law.
Bikram, promise me.
Whoever she chooses must not ruin our friendship.
Promise?
Sure?
Take my thumbprint.
You're so alluring
I am drunk with love
I'm drunk with love too!
She means me.
She says she loves me.
I love you too, ma'am.
Hey hero!
She's my bride. Touch her and I'll bury you alive.
You'll bury me?
You'll shoot me?
Nandita, go!
Stop!
You'll shoot me?
Bala!
He's shot him.
Bala, run.
I'll see Nandita home. Meet me under the bridge.
Run!
What does life want of me?
When I try to be human…
…life explodes in my face.
It wasn't your fault.
You didn't mean to kill him. It was a mistake.
A mistake?
Durga festival is next week.
The police will be everywhere. The ACP is after our blood.
Leave town for a few days.
-Go to Das in Dhanbad. -And Nandita?
I can't go without knowing her decision.
-You nuts? -I love her.
You're mad. Stop talking like a kid.
You shot a man in full view.
You'll be arrested if you stay.
Okay, but promise me.
You won't see or talk to Nandita till I return.
She belongs to us both.
I promise.
She belongs to us both till you return.
-Your thumbprint? -Want a slap?
The Goddess's idol is almost ready.
She's incomplete without a weapon.
So I did the needful.
Hail Goddess Durga!
Smart. Very smart.
What did you say? This will be fun. So, is it fun?
One friend is here, the other is on the run.
I came here to tell you.
I know full well.
Who murdered the man in the cinema.
This time I have proof and witnesses.
Tell your friend if he wants to stay alive…
Keep away from Calcutta.
If he returns…
…he'll be welcomed by a police bullet. Mine.
Good night.
Bikram.
Why don't you change your ways?
We're like coal.
Scrub as hard as you want.
But you can't wash away the dirt.
When we walk on the street, there's a question in every eye.
Who are you? Why are you here? Where are you from?
We have no answers.
I don't know about others.
But in my eyes,
I see no difference between you and me.
Come with me.
If you stay alone, you'll go crazy.
No, I'm fine.
Why?
Bala isn't here.
So?
I made him a promise.
That I wouldn't see or talk to you until he returns.
What's this childishness?
It's not childishness. It's friendship.
I respect your friendship.
But I came here to tell you…
I love you, Bikram.
And yes,
I made a promise too.
To Goddess Durga.
That I'd worship Her with the man I love.
So this evening, you'll pray with me,
or else I'll never see you again.
Is that the truth?
I swear on Goddess Durga.
-What now? -Now?
Calcutta will explode like this coal mine.
Sir.
Why are you here, Himanshu? I told you to stay away.
Bala is back, sir.
His eyes are red with rage.
Let's go play Holi.
Ghosh, surround the temple.
Chatterji, cover the ghat.
Hail Goddess Durga!
Sir, look there.
What are you doing here?
Happy Dussehra!
Bala, what are you doing here?
What difference does it make?
You did as you pleased.
What do you mean?
You could've waited.
Why the big hurry?
I would've happily got you married.
-Bala, let me explain. -Nothing left to explain.
It hurts me to know…
You didn't once think of our friendship or your promise.
It's all over, my friend.
As a boy you used to say…
I was hotheaded.
I boil over like hot milk.
Today I won't boil.
I'll explode.
Got you!
Bala!
Look over there.
We've got him.
Stop. Bala!
Come up!
O Goddess!
The scum escaped.
Smart. Very smart.
Bala was saved from my bullet.
But can he shake off the guilt of shooting his love?
What shall we do?
We do nothing.
Newton's law.
For every action there is an opposite reaction.
Things will just happen. Let's go.
Cursed by the evil eye.
Maybe mine.
I am both Durga and Kali.
Goddesses do not fear the evil eye.
This is the first time in my life.
I'm scared.
For my sake?
Don't worry.
I have two bullets for breakfast every morning.
Did the doctor mix hash in your glucose?
No, I mixed…
…poison…
…in your friendship.
Bala was always like this.
Hotheaded.
I'll explain things to him. He'll understand.
Can I say something?
You must forgive Bala.
Satyajit Sarkar.
You've stirred up a storm.
The phone hasn't stopped ringing.
There's chaos in Parliament.
A shoot out in a public place? And during Durga festival?
Explain this to me.
If you have proof against these two…
…why not arrest them?
What are you waiting for?
War.
The war of love has great power.
They were once inseparable.
Now they're ready to skin each other alive.
Bengal's gangsters are divided, sir.
Cooperate with us.
They are mere pawns in our game.
It'll be fun.
Uncle!
Bala? When did you get back?
Why didn't you let me know?
-You didn't tell me either. -Tell you what?
Did Bikram blindfold you too?
What are you saying, Bala? Where is Bikram?
To hell with Bikram!
Disaster has struck.
What's happened?
He escaped my bullet.
It was you?
Nandita got hit.
I missed for the first time. Wounded my own heart.
I love her a lot.
Find out if she's all right.
I can't go.
The police are after me. Go, see how she is.
Uncle!
If anything happens to Nandita,
I'll burn Calcutta down.
How is she?
She just made it.
Is Bala all right?
No, he isn't.
Did the police…?
Not the police. Love will destroy you both.
I could slap you!
Destroying your friendship.
-For a girl you just met? -Nandita…
Her name is Nandita.
Yes, I know.
He chants her name all day.
He sent me here to find out if she's okay.
He says he adores her. He'll burn the city down if she dies.
-What did he say? -You heard me right.
Bala knew exactly what he was doing.
I thought he was just being childish.
Bala.
Bala!
Go and tell him.
I am a bigger gangster than he is.
I love Nandita and she loves me.
If he utters her name again, I'll pull his tongue out.
If he wants me to forget what he's done…
Tell him to apologise.
Apologise! My foot.
Let Bikram go to hell.
I'll shove it up his…
I'll see what a great gangster he is.
There's nothing left between us.
And what's left -we share.
Fifty-fifty.
Calcutta swears by your friendship.
-They'll swear by our enmity now. -Don't be crazy.
If you two part, it's the end of our business.
Think it over.
I have.
Bikram drew the portrait.
But I'll color it in.
With dark red.
Smart. Very smart.
Never mourned my brother Dibakar.
I promised his wife we would.
I took an oath.
I swore on Dibakar.
I shan't be at peace till I kill Bikram and Bala.
That's right. Keep your word.
That's why you're part of the game.
Who is the bishop in this game of chess?
You are, Himanshu.
Careful. If they suspect you…
…they'll kill you with more relish than they killed Dibakar.
Stay close to Bala. Work for us.
But I make the moves.
I say: "Check…
"…and mate"
-You kidding me? -Dividing what business?
How is it possible?
That's the way it is.
The coal, the gas, the wood
all in Bikram's name.
He's the sole owner of the business.
We own nothing.
Am I right?
Yes, Bala?
Bikram, well done!
Never have imagined it.
When they list the greatest cheats in the world…
You'll top the list.
I was busy painting the Goddess.
You put your thumbprint on it all. Stole my share.
I thought you were a tiger.
But you're a fox.
Real smart.
You're the king now.
The business is yours and the girl.
So?
I won't let your happiness last. I want my share.
If you have guts where they're meant to be, come here.
Give me my share.
Or else I'll come to Calcutta.
And if I do…
I'm on my way.
Your ration card.
You're legally Indian citizens now.
Bikram Bose. Bala Bhattacharya.
What are you sharing?
We have equal rights on everything.
Ten for you.
Ten for me.
And this ration card in both our names.
I don't need it anymore.
-So we're even. -One minute.
You forgot the most important thing.
What?
Nandita.
I told you we share everything.
You'll have to share Nandita.
I'll bury you if you take her name.
Can't I talk of her?
-You tricked her into loving you. -Bala!
For years I cared for you more than a brother.
I gave you my share of food.
I held you till you fell asleep.
I forgave your childish deeds.
You turned out to be worse than an enemy.
-You shot at me. -Keeping score of the past?
You can't change my mind with your talk.
If you're so angry with me, then kill me.
I'm not keeping score.
Just reminding you.
When I was a boy you once saved my life.
I was indebted to you. But now we're quits.
I will let you live.
But if you take Nandita's name again…
…I'll rip you apart.
I mean it, friend.
Take my thumbprint.
Bala and I started off here, 15 years ago.
To think I hit him.
You tried explaining.
But he wouldn't hear you.
It pains me, Nandita.
He believes I took you away from him by deceit.
I know.
It's difficult. But we must make a fresh start.
Will you marry me?
What?
Nandita, I love you very much.
I'll make you very happy.
Remember you once said to me.
You were like coal.
Scrub as hard as you want.
You'll never be rid of the dirt.
If you stay with me, you'll have to be rid of it.
You must choose.
Between a life of crime…
Or me.
This is the first time.
My soiled hands have ever touched an innocent girl.
I won't let her go.
I promise.
I'll change.
Never lived before I met you
My heart is in shreds
Never lived before I met you
My heart is in shreds
I was an outsider A crazed one
Your love has tamed me
Never lived before
You know God loves me so much.
That He drew only one line on my palm.
A dark line of dark destiny.
I'll turn so bad.
Even coal will seem white next to me.
I shall write your name
In the blowing breeze
Embracing your slender shadow
Holding your shadow in my arms
You are love itself
I will encircle you
In the embrace of my arms
Never lived before I met you
You know God loves me so much
Never lived before I met you
Your eyes are beautiful
My world resides in them
I am lost
Like a wanderer in the desert
You fill my every breath
In this world and the next
I will seek you out, O beloved
Never lived before I met you
You know God loves me so much
Never lived before I met you
Happy Diwali!
Sarita, get my clothes. I need two minutes.
You? Here?
The gents was full.
Don't need a license to use the ladies.
Let go!
I had to talk to you.
No better place to talk.
Our story began here, right?
I mean in a ladies like this.
Our story?
It was over ages ago.
Sita belongs to Ram.
You forgot one chapter of the Ramayana. Know which one?
Sita's abduction.
You're in a big hurry, Bikram.
I hear your warehouse was burned down,
and a young cabaret dancer was kidnapped.
Suspect anyone?
A hurt friend is more dangerous than an enemy.
You look like you could pump him with six bullets.
But how will you destroy him?
If you get him, the law will get you.
You'll gain nothing.
He played a treacherous game.
A blow to your head and your heart.
If you're smart, make sure he lives, but wishes he were dead.
How?
Stand witness against him.
I'll prepare the charge sheet with you as prosecution witness.
I'll have him imprisoned.
He'll be inside and you'll be outside with Nandita.
Honeymoon.
How do you know where Bala is?
How many members in your gang?
Tell me.
About 40.
I have 40,000. And they're everywhere.
I can arrest him anytime I want.
We'll be waiting for you in court at 11 a.m. tomorrow.
Be there. Good luck.
What are you doing?
Why bring her here?
Why?
You'll force yourself on her?
You think she'll fall in love with you?
Bala, you were right.
Coal looks cleaner than you right now.
Bala, enough. Stop now!
I'm talking to you. Understand?
Did she eat?
No.
Eat something.
This is a new place. Must feel odd.
You'll get used to it.
You'll like it here.
Stop being angry, Nandita.
Stay a few days. You'll fall in love with me soon.
We'll marry. All will be well. Here.
What rot are you talking?
Are you crazy?
My head is all there. It's my heart that aches.
I have no peace.
I swear on Goddess Durga,
I'll love you so much, you won't think of Bikram again.
Bala!
Have you gone mad?
-Think about what you're saying. -I have.
Forget about Bikram, or else…
-Or else, what? -Or else I'll kill you!
What about your manhood?
Aiming your gun at any pretext?
Want the truth?
You're very brave, right?
So let me clear things up.
If I stayed with you for a few days,
a few months, or even years…
I'd never stop loving Bikram.
Want to know why?
Because he knows what's right and wrong. You don't.
You both came from the same coal mine.
But he's a diamond and you're just coal.
Bikram didn't sweep me off my feet.
He didn't seduce me either.
I fell in love with him.
I wanted him to love me.
But he wanted to wait for you.
He made a promise to a friend. But what did that friend do?
Aimed a gun at him.
You want to love me?
You never cared for your friend. Would you care for me?
Tell you what…
Shoot me.
Go on!
I'll never be yours as long as I live.
Meera once pined for Krishna
Leaving shame and the world behind
To yearn and pine in love
Is Krishna's turn now
I lost my life
It was a game for you
Estranged from myself
Broken inside
Estranged from myself
Broken inside
I was loyal to love
Robbed myself of everything
It's all gone now
Life has no meaning without my beloved
Why do I see only my beloved?
When she hurts me
Rejects me so
Why do I see only my beloved?
When she hurts me
Rejects me so
Sorry.
Madam, I love you too.
You'll bury me?
My dreams were shattered
By the blows of sorrow
I cannot escape desire's whirlpool
No one to save me, none to call out to me
Yet I hear a voice beckoning From beyond the clouds
How lost I am without my beloved
Stop!
Don't know how to apologise.
Never had to before.
This is the first time I've loved.
My pride was hurt.
Now my heart is broken.
Try and forgive me.
Who are you? Who do you work for?
Why do I see only my beloved?
When she hurts me
Rejects me so
Why do I see only my beloved?
When she hurts me
Rejects me so
Good job, officer.
I can't do this anymore.
I want out of this mission.
Why? Have you fallen in love for real?
Have you lost your mind?
They're criminals. Outlaws.
It was all an act to bring them to court.
You're right. That was my plan too.
But I got to know them.
Behind their bad name.
They're innocent souls with love in their hearts.
They're children, sir.
I can't play this game with them anymore.
So they must have some virtues.
I can hear their voices behind your words.
It's the truth, sir.
They're not responsible for their bad deeds.
Circumstances were bad.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
Who doesn't face hard times?
What if everyone took to crime, blaming circumstances?
It's no longer about them, Nandita.
If we let them go, we set a bad example for wayward boys.
They're trapped in a dark tunnel with no light at the end.
It's the law. I'll do my duty. And so must you.
Control your feelings. Do your duty.
You'll know what's right.
Banerjee?
Sir.
Tell Himanshu, it's time to take his revenge.
-Hello. -Where is Bala?
At the coal mine with Das.
-Who is with him? -Our men.
-What is it? -I'll explain later. Is Nandita okay?
Nandita? Bala left her at your place this morning.
What?
The man in the cinema who Bala shot is alive.
He's a cop.
A trap Satyajit Sarkar set for us.
He knew full well.
To divide us he had to first break us.
-To cause a rift between us. -Bikram.
No point in going over the past.
Let's plan our next move.
The law will help us.
So it'll be on our side?
There is law and order and a system here.
Like hell there is!
What law and order and system do you mean?
The system only grabs.
It snatched away our childhood and put guns in our hands.
We tried to do the right thing, but it blackened our faces.
Nandita, your system gives birth to outlaws like us.
It plays with us.
Then plots to kill us.
No, Bikram.
Everyone has the chance to redeem themselves.
We made no mistakes.
We only wanted our rights.
We grabbed them when we didn't get them.
What will you do?
Grab them again.
I must call Bala back.
No, Bikram.
You promised you wouldn't break the law again.
I never promised not to help my innocent friend.
I'm going.
You're coming with me.
Bikram.
I can't come with you.
And you're going nowhere.
Inspector Nandita Sengupta.
Calcutta police.
Damn it!
I get it!
Satyajit used the finest fish to trap a crocodile.
Listen to me.
Surrender yourself. I'll help you.
What are you made of?
I'm only doing my job, Bikram.
That's the truth. It's also true that I love you.
You must believe me.
And I'm the Prime Minister? You believe me?
We would've died for you from day one.
We would've surrendered, just for your smile.
But you're the system, too.
We were born when the country was divided.
And you divided our hearts.
Mine and Bala's.
Bikram.
Give me a chance to help you.
And Bala?
Who saves Bala?
Think of yourself first.
We'll worry about him later.
-If you go now… -That's what I'm about to do.
We're outlaws, madam.
Once we live with someone.
We die with them too.
Stop, Bikram.
-What's Das doing here? -Don't know. He asked us down.
Where's Das?
Life's cycle ends where it started.
Who are you? Eh?
You want the whole story?
Listen.
The train…
Full of coal? Remember Dibakar?
Remember the boy whose face was covered?
Dibakar was my brother.
I'll bury you in the coal you stole from Dibakar and killed him.
Never should trust a Bengali who doesn't like football.
Don't laugh, scum. Remember.
If Bikram hears of this…
…you'll die a worse death than Dibakar.
Do you think our plans are so flimsy?
The girl you wanted to kill one another for…
…she's the ace in the pack.
Nandita is a police inspector.
Satyajit Sarkar sent her to divide you adoring friends.
Bikram and Bala.
And as far as I know…
…Bikram has died at the hands of his lover.
And I bury you here.
A perfect tragedy. Push him in!
Who'll save you?
See who's there.
Bala!
Find them!
Bikram!
If you're reborn a Bengali,
make sure you like football.
Forgive me if I apologise?
Since when did you need to?
I made a terrible mistake.
I didn't think straight. Don't know what I was doing.
Forgive me, friend.
Done!
Sure?
Take my thumbprint.
Go go! Cover!
I didn't know this mission would take such a toll on you.
But the job is done.
You don't have to come with me. Go.
No, sir.
Until they surrender…
…this mission won't be over for you or for me.
Don't laugh.
Stupid idea we had!
Toss and the winner is her Rajesh Khanna.
Her hero! Like hell.
Now eat her bullet. Be the bad guy.
We really loved her.
When we first saw her our lives turned rosy.
Now we get shot and our rosy lives will turn red.
Whatever happens, we regret nothing.
Bikram.
Forgive Nandita.
She loves you. I swear on Goddess Durga.
Forgive her.
If you don't forgive her, you won't forget her.
And your heart will torment you.
-I hit you because of her. -I shot at you. We're even.
Forgive her.
For my sake.
We're big-hearted, even if they aren't.
-I forgive her. -You haven't.
I said it.
-I forgive her. -Liar!
-You haven't. -Want my thumbprint?
That's more like it!
So the brothers unite.
Happy ending.
Surrender!
You forget, we're outlaws.
No one has managed to arrest us. Nor will they.
Born from tragedy Emerging strong
God is on our side
We belong to Him
We are outlaws. The outlaws
Born from tragedy Emerging strong
God is on our side
We belong to Him
We are outlaws. The outlaws
Bikram!
Stop this madness, Bikram.
You'll gain nothing.
No way out, Bala. It's over. The end.
I'll give you another chance.
Surrender. You'll be okay.
Our hearts won't listen.
What's the point now?
Repent and you'll live a peaceful life.
We don't have cool blood in our veins, sir.
We've been running since we were kids.
Still running.
That's nonsense!
If you try, you can change.
What about our names?
How do we wash away the dirt from our names?
We never had anything.
We gave you all we had.
Anyway, you can't shoot me.
Or you would've already.
How could I kill you, Bikram?
How would I have convinced you
that my love was true?
I couldn't shoot you.
My love stood in the way.
But today, a criminal stands between me and my duty…
and I won't miss my mark.
I know you've endured much injustice in your life.
But life is giving you another chance.
Take my hand. Come here.
Listen to me, Bala.
Thank you for offering to help me.
If we had been offered help when we were helpless,
we wouldn't be outlaws today.
I love you very much.
I love you too.
Forgive me.
What can I do, sir?
We're stubborn.
We can't change our ways.
I must go.
He who accepts me as master Ali is his master
He who accepts me as master
Ali is his master
He who accepts me as master
Ali is his master
Life has no meaning without You
I lack nothing with You
With You, I can overcome every obstacle
Without You, I am lost
He who accepts me as master Ali is his master
We were stars of the sky.
Descending on earth, we found ourselves.
We found faith, found color, found our voice.
We sought heaven,
but at every turn,
we found hate, war, and borders.
But the world will change one day.
A new dawn is bound to break.
Courage will be ours. We belong to God.
We were outlaws. Still are. And always will be. s,
