Thank you.
Thank you, Dinshaw.
Young man, would you like a glass of whiskey?
Well, I wouldn't mind.
Here you go.
-Thank you. -Bawa, would you like a glass too?
-Yes, of course.
Thank you.
No Dinshaw, or else say goodbye to our honeymoon.
Our honeymoon will end when we reach Jamshedpur.
-There's still time for that. -Ok.
-Only one peg. -Oh yes... one peg. One single.
-Here you go. -Thank you.
Cheers!
Did you come to Mumbai for your honeymoon?
Yes. It was my first experience and my wife's second.
Hey...
No, I mean to say...
This is my second experience, and my wife's first.
Why did you both go to Mumbai for your honeymoon?
You should've gone to Europe.
Monte Carlo. French Riviera. Paris.
Boy, oh boy. I's beautiful.
Whom was this flying kiss for?
Europe.
-Europe? -What a place.
It's got the best places to have fun.
What's in Mumbai?
-Entertainment! -Entertainment?
Entertainment!
You can get that anywhere.
Manoranjan Street isn't everywhere.
It's only in Mumbai.
Manoranjan Street?
What do you get to see there?
You get to see life, young man.
Life!
That place is packed with goodness, evil... not disappointment.
People have the courage to lead their lives...
and they know how to change with time.
Today it's a different place...
but, it had a different facet before.
-But maybe some other day. -Why some other day?
Tell us now... what is it all about?
Yes... tell us now, what is so fantastic about Ganomanjan Street.
Not Ganomanjan Street, Bawa.
Manoranjan Street.
Right, Manoranjan Street.
When the world slept... Manoranjan Street would wake up.
And it was filled with entertainment.
Entertainment!
You are here.
Gaurang.
-How are you, Dhoop Chhaon? -Hale and hearty.
Did he leave?
Constable, be careful!
For you. It's fresh.
-I can't afford it. -Can't afford it?
-Banana. -Yes, of course.
Have a banana.
Here.
Money? What for?
For this.
Don't you give a hand to the fallen?
This is a tough job, you fell down yourself.
You... look like a decent lady.
-Really? -Yes.
It was entirely my fault. You didn't get angry at me.
In fact, you smiled before I could apologize.
Well, one has to curb their emotions when dealing with the uniform.
Oh no, you don't need to be scared of this uniform.
The police are here to serve the people.
There's no doubt in that.
The people in this area have their way because of guys like you.
But... I find something suspicious in this area.
-Suspicious? -Yes... Take a look.
Get it?
Yes, I do... you're new here.
Yes, I am... so what?
I have the brain of a detective.
I am 200 percent sure, that girl... is fishy.
-How? -You know, fishy...
Don't you understand?
How do I explain this to you?
It would've been so much easier if you were a man.
Are you not that open with women?
No.
You see, there was a girl standing right there.
A man arrived in a taxi.
That midget pounced towards that man.
And whispered something in his ear.
Next, he headed in the direction of that girl.
And whispered something in her ear.
Later, that man and the girl went inside this hotel.
Think about it...
Why did those two go in there?
To whisper?
You're too naive.
I think it's not right for you to stay here.
Why is that?
Some philanderer might mistake you for one of them.
You mean... like her.
Now you understand.
Please leave, I'll investigate what's going on here.
What's this all about?
Listen...
I would like to meet the owner of this place.
That's me. The name's Dhoop Chhaon.
-Gaurang. -Dhoop Chhaon?
Is that your name?
Trademark.
I changed many professions.
After humiliating my parents dozens of times, I earned this name.
Painful experience... and quick wits.
Well, I want your opinion.
You know that hotel... Hotel Mauj, how is it?
It's trustworthy.
They don't ask for your name and address.
No... you don't understand.
I noticed three men enter that place with women.
Or maybe, three women entered that place with men.
It's Monday, business is low.
Yesterday, almost ten entered by this time.
But those girls didn't look decent to me.
They were standing on the street.
They made some gestures.
Some whispering...
You are not allowed to do anything beyond this on the streets.
You have to go to a hotel.
Yes... my suspicion was right.
Those girls are prostitutes.
The oldest profession in the world.
-Spreading love. -But it's illegal. It's a crime.
You're absolutely right.
Spreading love in this sham world is a crime.
But you're completely free to spread hate.
You can publicly humiliate a human being.
But you can't publicly show your love to your beloved.
One has to hide in dark corners, like thieves.
It's not love... it's lust.
One has to eradicate this filth from decent societies.
What you call filth, is enjoyment for this society,
and all thanks to your so called decent people.
-You're absolutely wrong. -I am absolutely right.
Why are you screaming? Let's have a debate.
-Take this away, Gaurang. -Prove it.
Also this.
Listen carefully.
A decent man is 45 years old.
Poor guy works all day and returns home...
only to have an argument with his wife.
-The other decent guy is 25 years old. -What is his problem?
Inflation is increasing at a rate...
-What rate? -He can't get married.
The Bachelor is tired of loneliness...
and the middle aged man is tired of his wife.
Both of them head this way.
Pick their girls, get some entertainment.
Later, the girl gives that money to her protector.
Then that money passes from one to another.
The protector buys liquor from that decent man's shop.
Then that decent man buys a ring from the jeweler.
He even gives away some of that money to the police.
Bribe?
That's the beauty of an illegal business.
The lion and the goat drink water at the same river.
-Everyone's happy, everyone's elated. -I don't believe it.
A policeman can never take a bribe.
Brother, this is the most sought after business in this era.
Understand?
I used to be a secretary of a corrupt politician.
In a year, I helped him build a manor worth a million.
But, I'll tell you about it some other day.
Right, some other day. Even I don't have time to spare.
-Can I make a call? -Of course.
But be careful about what you say.
Trying to imbibe honesty in this corrupt world...
is like trying to bell the cat.
It's impossible.
And even if you do, it'll scratch you back.
Hello. Police Station.
This is constable Ratan.
Send a police van to Hotel Mauj.
Suppression of immoral traffic act.
You know English.
I've done my high school, from Nagpur.
According to section 3 of that act...
another couple just entered...
no, not in the section. I meant, in the hotel.
Send the police van over, we have to conduct a raid.
Yeah.
So you're hell bent on belling the cat.
Anyway, maybe I can be of some help.
Will you testify?
I can give you work.
Soon you'll need one.
Gaurang, here's the change.
This one's permitted.
If a fire ever breaks out in the hotel...
is there any arrangement to save your guests?
There's the fire alarm.
The alarms start ringing when you break the glass.
And all the guests will come down.
What are you doing? There's no fire.
But where's the fire?
Here.
Line up. Come on... in a line.
Fatso... you would've had to pay up after two minutes.
-Give me my money. -Help!
-Enough of this yelling... now leave him. -Give it to me.
You go that way...
What is all this commotion? Quiet!
See... according to the law, I cannot arrest the men.
Hey, that way.
But... I will need your testaments.
-What is your name? -Anand Moje.
Anand Moje.
-What is your name? -Mann Mauji.
Mann...
-And, maybe you are Chagan Mauji. -It's Taran Mauji.
What's your name?
Beat Constable Ratan, Nagpur return.
But, why should I tell you?
I am conducting the investigation here, not you.
Do you know who you're talking to?
Someone who got beaten up by his wife?
-Shut up! -Quiet!
You dropped my baton!
Get inside.
This is all because of that constable.
Who does he think he is!
I will break his limbs.
He took everyone.
How will we make a living now?
Uncle, we've become orphans.
This is all your fault.
Workers around the world have finally opened their eyes...
and you guys are still sleeping.
Wake up... and make a union.
Union?
But our line of work is illegal.
You need to struggle hard to make this business legal.
And, in order to struggle, you need a union.
I know the power of a union.
I was once the President of a Union.
-What was that union for? -Beggars.
But, I'll tell you about it some other day.
"We've become orphans..."
Kanhaiyya, you broke up our foreplay back at the hotel...
so, how about we have some fun here.
-Sorry. -Your sorry isn't enough, pick it up.
Look who you're talking to.
-Please pick it up. -Ok.
Forgive me, the driver applied a sudden brake.
-Maybe it's a red light. -But it's a green light from me.
Don't hold yourself back, my love.
-You? -Yes, me.
What are you doing here?
Like the rest of them.
You mean even you are...
Yes, one of them.
Whispering type.
"Listen up"
"Catch those"
"Who spread grief in this world"
"Let us go"
"We spread joy in this world"
"Why are you crying?"
"The bride's on her way home"
"And the palanquin's been set"
"The bride's on her way home"
"And the palanquin's been set"
"The bride's on her way home"
"I will dance and sing"
"I won't go"
-"I will dance and sing" -"I won't go"
"Bring the flowery veil"
"Let me deck you up"
"Oh, beloved... leave my arm"
"Cover my face with the veil"
"I am missing my father"
"The bride's on her way home"
"And the palanquin's been set"
"The bride's on her way home"
"Open your eyes Say something"
"Blue cap... black belt"
"What a handsome soldier"
"Oh, beloved Look into my eyes"
"We're your damsels, And you're our knight"
"Listen to the trumpets blaring"
"The bride's on her way home"
"And the palanquin's been set"
"The bride's on her way home"
"And the palanquin's been set"
"The bride's on her way home"
Ratan sir.
Welcome, welcome... we've been waiting for you.
Lock them all up. There's a dozen of them.
Register a case... Suppression of Immoral Act.
-Immortal Act? -No... Immoral Act.
Act Immoral.
No... I mean, it's Immoral Traffic Act.
Relax...
Were you wrestling with the dozen?
They are a bunch of miscreants.
-Lock them all up. -As you wish.
First, go meet the inspector.
He's been waiting for you eagerly.
-Eagerly? -Yeah...
-For what -He might get you a medal for this.
-Medal? -Yes.
Unbelievable, I just joined today... I am already getting a medal.
-Should I congratulate you? -After I get the medal.
Ok.
See you.
Are your hands stuck, finish saluting me?
So you're the new recruit...
I wanted to know who's been newly transferred here.
-You've already seen me, sir. -I have... where?
Back at Hotel Mauj... just a while ago.
Did you... forget, sir?
I don't remember. What was I doing there?
I don't know, sir.
You were doing something upstairs.
The alarm rang, you came down.
-That's when I saw you. -Shut up!
You must be dreaming.
No, sir. I was conducting a raid.
Why did you conduct a raid? With whose permission?
The law, sir.
Suffocation of Immorality.
Are you trying to teach me law?
-I know the law better than you. -Yes, sir.
Look at yourself... What have you done with your uniform?
Take off your cap... take it off!
Bread cream and some fritters.
It's you.
You look more like a timid rat.
Did the cat scratch you?
No... it was a big tiger.
That bugger still has his job,
-and me... -...fired from the job.
And ousted from my home too. I am on the streets now.
Can I get something to eat?
I haven't eaten anything since morning.
I only cater to those who have deep pockets.
Don't worry, I may not have a deep pocket.
-But, I am not exactly a pauper. -What would you like?
-How about some samosa? -Yes...
Take it.
So, you've quit your job.
I had the same attitude once.
Back during the Burma War, I was a Colonel of the British Army.
But I quit the army and wandered in the jungles instead,
to become a soldier of the Azad Hind Force.
This must be before you became that corrupt secretary.
I was also a wholesale trader.
I used to supply coffins to the army.
But, I'll tell you about it some other day.
So, what's your next program?
It's hard to say.
Once you're fired from the police force...
then it's difficult to get any other job.
I've been looking for a job.
It's really sad to see a young man like you...
get disappointed from life.
This youth is not for wasting.
You should learn... from these brave boys.
This is Tingu... blade master.
-Hi, uncle. -Look at his attitude.
Can you believe that he was an ordinary pickpocket?
And him... that's Balram, aka Muscles.
Master masseuse.
During the day, he would give massages at Azad Maidan...
and during nights, he would break their bones.
They have literally come from the streets.
They all had small beginnings, but they had great determination.
They had skills, hard work... and look at them now.
They have all settled down in their profession and retired.
Girls do all the work for them, while they have fun.
They can have all the fun they like.
I cannot get into this illegal business.
You have an inferiority complex.
Why do you consider yourself to be so weak?
Even you can do what they can.
No... at the most, I can pick a pocket.
But I can't watch a girl sell herself for me, while I enjoy out here.
I am not worthy of such a life.
If you want to make your life worthy...
then, first make yourself worthy of life.
Dhoopu... hot cup of coffee. It's really cold out here.
Of course, right away. One special coffee.
What are your plans after finishing your meal?
What do you mean?
Wouldn't you like to taste some beauty?
If he eats too much, there won't be any room for that.
-He doesn't have a deep pocket. -Maybe she didn't recognize me.
I was in my uniform last time.
I do... I recognize you now.
The white Navy uniform, right?
No, it was blue.
He got you locked up for two weeks.
But these days he's out on the streets himself.
Now I get it... you mean the "whisper" guy.
Nisha... come here!
Is that it?
Can I get some more samosas? I am very hungry.
I think you should check your pocket first.
Your current bill is 2.80.
Don't worry, I have 15 rupees.
-Where? -You don't believe me.
-Oh, God? -What made you think of God?
Someone stole my purse.
Doesn't matter if you can't pay the bill.
-Take off your clothes. -Clothes?
I mean this suitcase.
Fine.
Return his suitcase, Dhoopu.
And then, "close your shop, Dhoopu."
Is that what you want?
You can feed him anything he wants, and put the bill on my tab.
That's right.
Here you go, my brother.
You lucky bum!
Eat it. What are you waiting for?
You just said you're hungry.
Not anymore.
You can pay me back whenever you have the money.
Eat all you want... I know what it means to be hungry.
Why are you so grateful to me?
I sent you to jail.
That was your job.
You did your work, and I did mine.
I don't have any enmity against you.
I never imagined that someone in this profession can have a heart of gold.
I am not as good as you think.
This is only for food.
Eat it.
I lost again.
Nisha!
You're still here!
I am going... I was just talking to him.
If you waste time like this, what will happen to our business?
Let me go, Balwant! Let me go...
Mister... I cannot tolerate Section 354.
Let her go.
Oh... it's you.
You have four seconds.
One...
Two...
Three...
Four...
He understood me clearly.
"You break my heart"
"Like a toy"
Get lost... I need a 100.
If you return without it, I'll break your limbs.
Dhoopu, he broke your chair.
It's over. It's all over!
Now. My blood is boiling.
It's boiling.
And when my blood boils, I become a lion.
Lion!
Did you hear? Look at the lion's face!
Anyone else?
Whoopie... I found my man. I found my man.
Dhoopu, I found my brave protector!
Dhoopu, put all your damage on my tab.
I am calculating that.
Strong man.
-Keep this. -You took my purse.
Sometimes, so I don't lose practice.
Well, now I can't make you the scape goat because you're one of us now.
-How is that? -Didn't you hear what she said?
Now you're her chief pimp.
-Pimp? -Yes.
Pardon me, but I don't want this grand post.
Don't be scared.
It's no work and all play... Plus you get respect.
-Respect? -Of course.
And, she's the best amongst the lot.
Whoever has her, is the top guy.
Be the lion.
-Lion! -Lion!
Unfortunately, he challenged me alone.
I wish there were more, I could've used the exercise.
Where are you planning to spend the night?
We lions don't care.
Always wondering around.
And sleep wherever we like.
Here... 20 paise, tip.
Thank you, Tarzan.
-Come with me. -Where?
Come on.
Three chairs, two tables...
Gaurang!
Wake that bull up.
-But where are you taking me? -To your cave.
But, why were you acting so stubborn?
-Walk proudly, like a lion. -Yes, of course.
In there, you can escape the rain, and the cold too.
-You mean your home? -Yes.
But, don't you live in Hotel Mauj.
That's the place where I do business.
I see... And the head office is Dhoop Chhaon Cafe.
Yes.
Why are you getting wet when I have an umbrella?
Come closer.
I don't have thorns on my body.
What happened?
I felt goosebumps all over my body.
-Why did you smile? -No, reason.
You walk in front, I'll follow.
Yes.
You won't feel goosebumps.
I guess you stay away from women.
Not always.
There was a time when I wouldn't let go of her.
It was fun.
-Who was she? -My mother.
I would never get off her lap.
I think you still need a mother, not me.
-How's the house? -Nice.
Why did you close the door?
Tonight I need some rest, and not that Balram.
-Rest. -Of course, you get some rest.
I'll go sleep in that room.
That's the bathroom. This is the only room.
Only one room?
Then, where will you sleep
-I mean, there's two of us. -So what?
This bed is big enough for the both of us.
You mean, you and me... on the same bed.
No!
Why... Why don't you understand?
Let me go.
Let you go where?
You'll catch pneumonia in this state.
Take them off.
Don't just stand there.
Do you want me to take off your clothes and tuck you in like a kid?
-No. -Now hurry up.
I'll take it off.
No need to force my hand, I'll take it off myself.
Hitler.
Absolutely Hitler.
She should've been in the police force.
She would've been promoted to head constable very soon.
And fixed everyone in the city.
"Take off your clothes."
The vest is still dry, I won't take it off.
Fine, then don't.
Stop showing attitude like a bride, you're a man.
Yes, I am.
There's no doubt about it.
Please look that way.
That's a pillow, keep it under your head.
-I like to keep it on my side. -Hurry up.
You keep ordering me around.
Why are you being so formal? Let's shed the formalities.
What's wrong with it?
Nothing, but I don't like it.
Now hurry up.
Ok.
You know... I never got this opportunity.
This is my first experience in life.
I always slept alone since I was five-years-old.
I meant ordering someone around.
Oh I see...
I never imagined I'll meet a man like you...
who I can boss around.
Whether it was Balram or the others, they bossed me.
They would hurt me.
Are you going to do that to me too?
Sometimes I think you're a fake.
I am not a fake.
I used to be naive... but now, I understand everything.
What?
In this sham world, it's a crime to love.
You can deem anyone as a low caste and hate him openly.
But, one has to hide in dark corners to love your beloved.
I see... you came here for some love.
Why didn't you tell me?
You're getting me wrong.
I was only making a point.
You're definitely an imposter.
Do you want a dark corner?
No... no... what are you doing?
No!
Leave me...
What are you doing?
Help! Help!
No!
Nisha! Nisha!
Who is Nisha?
-Me. -I see...
I am Ratan.
Pleased to meet you.
Me too.
Nisha!
Someone's calling you.
Balram.
I see... It's Mr. Bull-brain.
Yes, Bull-brain...
Nisha!
Stop screaming so early in the morning.
I want to talk.
Are you coming down, or should I come up?
I am not coming down.
Here you go.
These torn rags.
Where are my suits... my silk clothes.
I paid for all those.
You should be grateful that I left that gold tooth.
You!
I will come there and break your hand.
Will you break my hand? Wait...
Sheru, come out, Sheru.
He is quite far. This punch will not reach him.
Shall I spit on him?
Now let me see whose hand will break. Yours or mine.
I will see you later.
He... he threatened...
Let him... You are here.
Yes I am here.
What will this brave man drink? Tea or coffee?
Whatever you make me drink.
Tell me your choice.
Do you give orders only at night and not in the morning?
Then... it's tea.
-Shall I ask you something? -Yes.
How did a girl get trapped in Balram's plan?
Just as I got trapped with you.
In my trap?
You saved me from Balram and Balram had saved me from someone else.
I saved you from Balram and Balram from someone else...
Ok... in this way.
Don't you have a family?
I had a mother who was a famous singer of Benaras.
She fell in love with a man so she left work and came to Mumbai.
Great. She showed great intelligence.
Intelligence? She showed absolutely stupidity.
She left her work for a man and had to cry all her life.
That man used to make fake currency.
He escaped by duping the police.
My mother was arrested and I was born in a jail.
-In a jail? -Yes.
You suffered a lot.
Born in a jail... and then this business.
All businesses are same.
All work is done to earn living and to satisfy hunger.
But in other businesses there is a benefit.
You do not find people like Balram there.
Now I am not worried about that.
I have found a brave man for my protection.
-Me? -Yes.
Now what is the use of this blue uniform?
I got it made from my own earnings.
How can I throw it away?
Don't throw it and stay here with comfort.
I will earn and you enjoy.
Not at all. I will never become a tamed lion.
I will never enjoy on a woman's earnings.
What do you mean? Will you leave me?
You want Balram to come here and break my hand?
I will break his head. Let him come.
If you go away, then he will surely come back.
Maybe...
How do I explain? I do not like your business.
Do you like me? Tell me...
You... I do not like you smoking.
Do you like me now?
Tell me.
Last night you forced me to be informal with you.
To be personal with you in every way.
Forgive me.
Why don't you understand?
Since morning I have been addressing you formally...
and not even once have you stopped me.
Address me informally quickly.
Say it.
You...
Now you will not leave me.
I am not a loafer.
Till today, I have never been so informal with anyone.
How can I leave you without any support?
My innocent one.
I feel this innocence of yours will loot me.
Do you know... people have accepted my soul
but not my heart?
I say that it has boiled.
Just forget about destroying the place, sir.
There is no girl there.
Drink coffee and keep your mind cool.
I am fed up. It has been so long but she has still not returned.
How will she earn if she returns soon?
Will you keep quiet?
As you say, sir.
I do not like the way she earns.
I do not like this environment.
I do not know how I have been trapped.
There...
I feel like leaving everything and going back to Nagpur.
Go. Surely go.
Go... any message for Nisha.
Yes.
Tell me.
-Tell her that... -What?
-That... -What?
Tell her that...
What do you think, that I cannot leave Nisha and go?
Just give it a try. Just try it.
Sheru!
What happened?
He is very sad. He was fluttering in your absence.
Ok. I will make him happy.
I tried to find it in many shops and then I chose this.
-Do you like it? -I do not want it.
Don't be so choosy.
Bulbul gave Mithu a cheap watch.
I bought a nice one for you. Take it.
-Thank you. -Do you still want to go?
Yes, I will surely go. I will take her along with me.
Where will you take me? This is business time.
-To hell with your business. -What?
He does not like to be the owner of a taxi.
He wants a private car that will always remain with him.
That Nawab does not often come...
otherwise I could have stayed with Sheru six days a week.
-Which Nawab? -He was very rich.
He used to be with me every Sunday for 500 per week.
Rest of the six days, I used to enjoy.
I used to watch movies, two shows per day.
Where is he now?
He has not died but his wife has.
From that time, Nawab stopped coming.
Come on girls, hurry up. Victoria hall is full of men.
Ok I will go for my business now.
Where are you going?
-Hello. -Thank you.
-Come on let's go. -Bye.
You leave her and let her go.
Leave her.
Thank you, madam.
Stop! Stop!
Look at your face.
You were trying to be the hero!
Look at your condition.
Any loafer having fun with you in Mauj Hotel...
I cannot tolerate that.
You are a very jealous kind.
Why should you bother if people have fun?
I do not have fun but do business.
Business? You do your business and I will keep creating havoc.
You should be ashamed.
In this way, you will destroy my business.
Both of us will be at loss!
I am waiting for the day to drown
in the sea of love in such a way
that we have a rebirth.
As husband and wife.
What? You want to marry me.
In every birth.
Oh God! What an innocent man have I found.
You're really innocent!
Does anyone marry a whore?
Everyone can't do it.
You need to have a courageous heart like that of a lion.
What do you mean?
You will find many men in this world who can turn a woman into a whore.
But rarely can a person be courageous enough to make a whore his wife.
You need to be courageous.
What are you saying? Are you hungry?
I have become passionate...
I was a police officer.
I have seen that your business cannot be destroyed by law.
That is why I will finish it by getting married.
Will you marry all whores?
Hindu Court bill does not allow this.
I will just marry you.
By setting an example, more courageous men will take this step.
-Towards me. -Not towards you,
but towards the ones who will remain.
By making them wives, we will improve the life of those women.
A new society will be made.
This dialogue does not have any meaning.
I have heard it many times.
five out of ten men talk about improving our lives.
But they do something else.
I will do whatever I say.
I will release you from this environment.
I shall make you the queen of my house.
I will work hard and earn my living.
Even if it is not enough.
I will serve you first and then whatever remains will be mine.
You have started crying because of happiness. Right?
I had no idea that your intentions...
are so cheap.
Cheap? Cheap...
Do you find these intentions cheap?
Absolutely.
Do you want to insult me in the society?
If I let you earn then what will other women think.
I cannot serve my man.
Do you want to insult me?
Calm down, calm down... not you, but I will be insulted.
How will that happen?
I will take you away from this environment...
and make you a wife in a decent society.
To hell with your decent society.
Will you be insulted if you marry a girl from that bad society?
Yes, I will be insulted a little.
But that is ok with me.
Why should you be insulted even a little?
Everyone is a hypocrite in this society.
Our society is the best.
Live with each other as you like.
Both of us are respected here.
I will earn as much as you say.
I will work double for you.
Enjoy as much as you want.
To hell with this enjoyment.
I am not so useless that I would need to live on your earning.
Look, come with me on your own otherwise I will kidnap you.
Come on, take me.
-Get up from here. -Pick me up.
You could not even pick me up.
Nisha, come with me willingly otherwise...
-Otherwise... -Otherwise I will leave you and go.
-Where will you go? -To hell.
Why are you worried about me?
Ok.
I will not worry about you.
Aren't you worried about me?
If I go then Balram will come and break your hand.
Before breaking it, he will twist it.
If I agree to what he says, then he will not break.
You will agree with what that fool says and not with me?
He will just break my hand but you want to destroy my business.
My innocent one, do you know...
people have accepted my soul but not my heart.
Now you will never leave me and go.
So, you have come back.
I just came to tell you to lock the door from inside.
I am going and will never return.
You will come. You will surely come.
Tell me, how's the business?
The business is going on very well...
Thanks to high price and famine.
Cheating has really increased nowadays.
Bungalow owners and rich people have become my client.
But I cannot find a man who can be fooled.
I am ready to give 20 per hour.
But I am not able to find anyone.
Even for 20 per hour you are not able to find a person in this poor country.
Strange.
The work is risky.
I do not want a weak fellow but a strong one.
Just like your Balram.
Even if he is hurt a little, it does not matter.
Have you opened a mutton shop nowadays?
Don't be funny. Help me find a man.
So that I can earn money. Luck is on my side.
Do send a man either tomorrow or day after.
I will try my best. I have your address.
Very good, very good.
The ice cream seller is here. I need a new one.
This man is mad. He does not trust men. He is mad.
Welcome, welcome. So early in the morning!
Last night I spoke to Nisha about marriage.
You must have...
You hurt your head yesterday so must have talked some nonsense.
Why don't you understand Dhoop Chhaon?
I want to make Nisha my wife with all my heart.
My lawful wife.
Tell me one thing.
Would you want a person to do something he is not capable of?
No, I would not want this.
As music has two parts, similarly, a woman has two forms.
Nisha is such a nice whore then why do you want her to become a useless wife.
She is acceptable to me in any form as a wife.
But I cannot tolerate her going with different men every day.
Will you be happy if she goes with one more other than you?
I mean, if she meets someone like that Nawab...
then she will leave other customers.
No, I don't want her to do this business...
Nawab...
She can leave her business...
Dhoop Chhaon, will you give me a loan of 500?
For what?
You will give me 500 and and I will give it to Nisha.
Nisha will give it to me and I will give it back to you.
What nonsense are you talking?
You are a duffer just like me.
-Just like music has two forms... -Parts!
and... a woman has two forms.
Similarly this man will have two looks.
I will be Sheru as well as Nawab.
That means you will be the agent as well as the customer.
Correct.
Even I had used this idea once.
I had taken an oil agency from Bhimsen.
To set it up in the market he used to buy his own oil.
I will hear the story some other time.
What is my name?
Nawab Balam Akhtar.
The same that Ashok Kumar had in "Mere Mehboob".
-Correct. -Ok.
But you are a rich man from Lucknow.
You are the son of a fallen Mughal dynasty.
Speak Urdu correctly.
Don't worry.
I will speak correct Urdu.
I have seen all Urdu movies from "Mughal-e-Azam" to "Pakeeza".
I have also eaten mughlai food in Irani's hotel.
You will have to speak Urdu proverbs as well.
-Am I right? -Absolutely right.
So speak...
That's nothing important?
Oh God!
What happened?
You have totally spoken the wrong Urdu, Nawab.
Not "soya" but "suhe", which means direction.
"Falak" means sky.
"Ufak" means horizon.
There is a big difference in these words.
I will take care of language over there.
First, give me my 500.
You mean to say, my 500.
Yes, yours.
Ok, bye.
Hey, wait sir.
First hide this blue eye, otherwise the secret will be revealed.
Not "shabbe khair", but "shabba khair".
-Shabba... -Khair.
Goodbye.
My friend, goodbye.
-Hello... -Hello...
-Shall we go? -Goodbye.
-Listen, uncle... -Hello dear.
Do you have time?
Yes I have time. But I don't feel like it.
Can you tell me where will I get "paan-e-gubbara".
-What? -Gubbara paan.
What's that?
Mughlai.
I mean, very delicate and sweet just like you.
Then eat me.
I will not be able to refuse so shall we go to the sleeping hotel?
Hotel never sleeps, it stays awake.
What is the deal?
I do not like to do such deals on the roadside.
I have lots of money.
Then come on quickly. Let's go.
-Good evening Nisha. -Good evening.
Lovely evenings...
This old man is still young at heart.
What is your name?
What?
What is your name?
-Nisha! -Very nice.
Your name is Nisha and your body is intoxicating.
Your Urdu is on another level.
Another level? Qutb Minar is of another level!
I just speak Urdu.
Beware, I am Nawab Balam Akhtar alias Mere Mehboob.
You are a Nawab.
I am not a common Nawab, but one of a high class.
Really?
Great. Nawab, I will really make you happy.
If you don't mind then shall I say something?
Say whatever you wish to. I will not feel bad.
It would be better if you do not remove your clothes.
Then nothing can happen.
Why did you get me here?
What can I say? It is a long story.
The story of Hatim Tai.
The story of Alif Laila.
How will I become a lover when you don't want to be one?
I was once...
I was...
I had become a lover once.
Before the making of "Mughal-e-Azam".
At that time, my wife was Pakeeza.
-Your wife? -Correct.
She was the shade and I was the light of the Mughal Empire.
She was the pride and I was the honor.
But my cook was very clever.
-Your cook? -Correct.
There is a kitchen in our palace.
Delicacies are cooked there day and night.
My wife loves to eat tasty food.
Her fondness for food increased so much...
that she became fond of that cook as well.
That means your wife and that cook...
Correct.
I don't believe it.
The wife of such a rich Nawab with a cook...
My dear, I saw it myself.
Both were near the food that was being cooked.
My wife was enjoying the aroma of pulao
and the cook was enjoying my wife's aroma.
They should be ashamed.
There was a time when my wife was beautiful and I was handsome.
Sometimes, in candle light we used to play chess or rummy.
Rummy... I also play rummy.
Great. Then shall we start...
Shall we start?
Goya ke chunanche.
Shall we start?
I don't mind till you pay for the time I spend with you.
Let's talk about seeing each other...
I have met customers like you, earlier as well.
A rich man used to bring me here.
He would play with my lovely hair all night.
He sometimes used to make two plaits, sometimes a bun...
Sometimes like this and sometimes like that...
Only hair and nothing else.
He must be from the family of a barber.
We are from the family of Mughals.
Come on, deal the cards.
Is your wife very beautiful?
Very. Very beautiful and young as well.
Actually I cannot blame her.
Why not?
What can I say? Since 1857 the ancestral sword was getting rusted.
I could not tolerate it.
In the other war, I took that sword and attacked the enemies.
From Bondila to Shangrila, I killed many soldiers.
Don't fool me Nawab!
With a sword you fought against soldiers with guns.
That was the mistake that I made.
I had a sword and was facing bullets...
How long could I have stopped them.
I was hit by the bullet on the lower part and I became injured.
You must have lost your eye in the same battle?
Not only the eye, but I lost many things after being injured.
From the time I have returned, my wife has been unhappy.
But why?
I mean...
I cannot keep her happy.
That...
Goya ke...
chunanche.
Uncle, I think these gamblers are not leaving today. Ask them to leave.
Do you want to keep the hotel open the entire night?
Why? What is the occasion?
Today is the day of independence.
Independence?
But today is not 15th August but 4th September.
I got independence when my father died.
But I shall narrate that story some other day.
Rummy... I won again.
Will you play more? It is almost 3:00.
3:00? I thought it was just 2:00.
Actually I cannot keep awake till 3:00.
I used to keep awake before the war.
Anyways, take this.
500! So much money just to play rummy.
If I had brought all my money with me, it would have been too heavy to carry.
Regardless, money has no value to me.
When will you come to Mumbai next time, Nawab?
My dear, I come here every Sunday.
So will we play goya ke chunanche next Sunday as well.
Of course we will. We will do it every Sunday but till 2:00.
Agreed. This would be great.
Now my stupid fool will also agree.
Stupid fellow. Who is this stupid fellow?
The one with whom I live.
His name is Sheru but lovingly I call him "stupid".
Is your love true or fake?
I have faked my love many times.
That is why I know this isn't fake.
But I have never had true love till now.
So only God knows whether it is true or not.
So that means only God knows.
So shall we get down?
One minute. Where is my sandal?
It must be somewhere around here. So shall I leave?
-So next week... -Sure.
Sha--
Bye, bye...
My sandal.
Give my greetings to the beautiful girl in room number Nine,
and then give her this sandal.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Stupid fellow.
Tell me Nawab, how did you spend the time there?
Nawab Buland Dukhtar was too good in room number Nine.
No doubt!
Do you know the meaning of Dukhtar?
No, I don't know.
-It means, daughter. -Daughter?
Daughter.
I had given you the name of Balam Akhtar.
-Akhtar? -Yes, Akhtar.
-Not Dukhtar. -Not Dukhtar.
I made a mistake. Oh no!
Sheru, congratulations Sheru, all the members have chosen you as the head.
-Head? -Yes!
Thank you. Thank you...
-Head of what? -BDU.
-BDU? -Yes.
Thank you.
What is this BDU?
Bombay Dalal Union.
Look Thingu, I will not be able to shoulder this responsibility.
Only a capable person should be given this position.
I agree...
Sheru, today is a very happy day for us.
Here you became the head and there my life is settled.
I changed my life without getting married.
In hotel Mauj.
Yes. I will have to go every Sunday to change my life.
But don't be jealous. He does not have fun but is a Nawab.
He just has intentions. That's it.
He can do that at home as well.
What was the need to take you to a hotel?
I have said the truth. I swear on you Sheru.
Now I will not take any other customer. He is a real Nawab.
He is rich and eats a different kind of betel leaf.
He talks high of Qutb Minar.
Did that Nawab teach you such high class Urdu?
Yes. He belongs to a high class.
His wife is also very lovable and the cook also enjoys it.
What nonsense? Who is this stupid Nawab?
Don't call him stupid. He has used his Mughlai sword.
But he is very kind. He gave me 500!
500?
-And he will give it to me every week. -Every week.
Everyone! Nisha has earned 500 rupees today.
Come on...
How did you get this 500 rupees, Nisha?
What did you have to do? Tell me.
-Speak. -Tell us...
Come on tell us.
Goya ke chunanche.
-Did he speak these two words together? -Yes.
-Goya ke... -Hail.
-chunanche. -Hail.
"Goya ke chunanche"
"Dance and have fun"
"Goya ke chunanche has come"
"Dance and have fun"
"Goya ke chunanche has come"
"Goya ke chunanche"
"How sweet is this song"
"Goya ke chunanche?"
"How sweet is this song"
"Goya ke chunanche?"
"Goya ke chunanche"
"I just speak your name And I think only about you"
"My eyes see only you"
"I just speak your name And I think only about you"
"My eyes see only you"
"I don't know why my heart Has become crazy about you"
"What to tell you the Condition of my heart"
"I have lost my senses"
"Only, goya ke chunanche..."
"Goya ke chunanche"
"That person is a lover Who holds your hand"
"He never leaves friendship Even if he has to leave the world"
"That person is called lover who holds your hand"
"He never leaves friendship Even if he has to leave the world"
"Whether in happiness or sadness"
"One just remembers his name"
"Just one thing to remember"
"And that is goya ke chunanche"
"Dance and have fun"
"Goya ke chunanche has come"
"Goya ke chunanche"
It was real fun.
It was such a sweet song.
What entertainment?
-Really nice. Everyone's happy. -Yes.
Now you can pay the bill.
-Which bill? -The party's bill.
Will I pay for this party?
Have you forgotten? You are now the head here.
So the party is from your side.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
The bill is of 230 rupees only.
230?
Other than eating, you have to pay for the damage of property.
Two chairs, Three tables, glass... give me the money.
Take it.
Give the remaining.
First, give me my 500!
From where shall I give that now?
Nawab, mortgage your royal palace.
Don't play jokes on me in such dangerous situations.
That would be against your royalty so it would be better if you rob a bank.
I had once looted a bank in Patna.
My father's bank. But I will tell you that story some other time.
Give me the money!
I will pay back each penny of yours.
But you give me a loan of 500 again.
I am sorry. I am not that stupid.
Look, Dhoop Chhaon, you do not understand.
If I do not give 500 next week to Nisha,
then she will start her business again.
Just do me a favor once more.
Anyway, I will have to help you to get my 500 back.
But this time not from my pocket but from my intelligence.
I will write jimmy's address for you.
May be you will be able to get 500 per week from there.
Write here.
Jimmy.
I caught you!
Good, very good... Very good...
Go...
Very good...
Good, very good...
Good, very good Tommy.
Stop it Tommy.
Stop it Tommy!
Tommy, Tommy...
Stop it Tommy!
Stop it Tommy.
Tommy, Tommy...
Why did you stop him?
After so much difficulty my Tommy has started acting like a guard dog!
Sir, if he did not stop its action then it would have been a problem for you.
No bones were broken...
You would have to go to the police station if anything had happened to him.
Ok, ok.
-Ramu... -Yes.
He must be tired so go and get milk for him.
I had asked that stupid fellow to send someone strong, like Balram.
The work is not for a weak person like you.
Sir, don't chuck me out of this job.
I will never complain.
Where else will I get work for 20 rupees per hour?
And it is very important for me to earn 500 per week.
Take 100 for today.
Thank you.
Shall I ask you something? Can't I train the dog during the day?
It can happen.
How can it happen during the day?
If these dogs are given training during the day...
then these dogs will not spare his guests.
Thieves come at night, so training is to be given at night.
-Sir, milk... -Give.
Sheru, have you woken up?
I am awake but cannot get up.
Lazy fellow.
We will enjoy for the entire week.
Nawab will come on Sunday.
-Let's go out somewhere. -No.
Then what will we do?
Sleep. Let's sleep till next Sunday.
Get up. You have already slept for seven hours.
Seven hours more.
I was dreaming about you.
Wait.
I will show you such beauty of mine that you will be excited.
Close your eyes.
Thank you, thank you.
I bought this especially for you.
Let me wear it. Do not peep.
No, not at all.
Sheru.
Sheru!
"My lover eats betel leaf..."
"My lover eats betel leaf"
Mr. Thingu you owe me 30 rupees for this month.
I will pay you. Let me trap someone.
Got the one to trap.
I am at your service, sir. I will show you absolute beauties.
Not an ordinary one but a special one.
The one who goes to office during the day.
You take care of the one who goes to office.
I have not come here to open an office.
Sir, tell me what you want. I can give everything to you.
Wow!
If my wife gives birth to a son come and perform for us then.
Dear, I came on Sunday as promised.
Happy to meet you. Come on let's go.
Come on.
Nawab, you look different today.
Changed? Everything seems to be fine.
Different in what sense?
The covering was on another eye last time.
In a hurry
I covered the wrong eye.
That is why I banged against that.
Now you look more beautiful.
-Goya ke... -Chunanche.
Sister Lalita, who is this old man?
The Nawab who comes every Sunday to meet Nisha.
Every week.
Amazing. I had thought that such old men come every month.
Is everything fine in the palace?
No, nothing is fine.
What?
I thrashed the cook.
When I saw them in love under the Chameli tree, I could not tolerate it.
I threw the cook out with his luggage.
And your wife?
She was his belonging, so, has gone with him.
I divorced her immediately, chunanche.
Very bad.
Is this good or bad? That cook used to make delicious snacks.
I will not find another like him.
I mean you must be feeling lonely in the palace.
Not at all.
Owls visit the seven rooms of the palace at night.
Are there seven rooms in the palace?
In this palace...
other than that, there is a palace in Barahdari, Pandrahdari...
Chandani Chowk, Amavasya Chowk, Kabutar Khana, Bater Khana...
Oh God! Such a big palace.
Correct...
I have an idea to erase your loneliness, Nawab.
I will come and stay with you.
What? No, this is impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
But why?
Don't you like me now?
Like. I like you a lot in every way.
My Palace in Lucknow is open 24 hours for you.
But...
But what?
I remembered your stupid friend.
Would you want to leave him?
He is not stupid anymore. He has become very clever.
Clever? Fast as a horse or spicy like a chili?
Just like the cook.
He is no more interested in me.
He is always tired and irritated.
There must be some strong reason behind it.
The reason can be delicate too.
Some sweet young girl...
Impossible.
He cannot get anyone more delicate than you.
Delicate body, mind and behavior.
You are delicate all over.
There is no point in telling me all this. Tell Sheru that I am delicate.
-What? -Yes.
-Shall I tell Sheru? -Yes.
Only then he will know who I am.
He is sitting in the cafe.
-I will call him. -No.
I will go before you call him.
Otherwise I will miss my flight to Lucknow.
But you had said that you will wait till 2:00.
Now how can I wait till two when a third one is waiting for you?
Listen, delicate beauty, even my heart is delicate.
I give my time to Sheru for which I pay
Go. Today you will not find him irritated but happy.
Chunanche.
You are a very kind and sweet man.
Take this. Goya ke chunanche.
I feel ashamed to take money from you.
I do nothing for you.
You are not at fault but the fault is of my sword.
So, next Sunday, goya ke chunanche.
Will you take my sandal today as well?
There is a stupid superstition in our family and that is...
to go with your lover but do not leave together.
One of them will fall sick.
-Chunanche. -Don't worry.
I will leave after five minutes.
Have a long life. Bye, take care.
Take care.
"Why be afraid if you love?"
"You have loved not stolen anything"
Stop.
This is a union court.
You fool. This is not a court. This is a meeting.
It's one and the same thing, you buffalo!
I mean, the verdict is passed there and it will be passed here as well.
What?
Today we have to decide that every girl...
has to deposit her one day earning in the union.
-No. -Stop!
-Why don't you raise hands? -No. We won't.
This is the right of us men. The decision has been made.
How come? Where is the chairman?
I am here. I second everyone's opinion.
Heard that? Come on. Out with the money.
Come on. Come on.
I am here. I am here.
-I have come early, haven't I? -You made me long.
-But why early? -For you.
-As the Nawab is soft hearted. -Really?
Here.
-Great. -I am doomed.
-How can you take it? -For the union fund.
You gave your opinion without hearing the entire thing.
I heard the entire thing. I was right here.
-Take it. -Thank you.
You gave him 500.
Yes, it was my idea. As I am the chairman.
You need to think about your stooges.
Sure. We'll spend a week just like that.
The Nawab will give 500 next week again.
Definitely, If he doesn't get broken bones.
Who would dare to break his bones?
He is a very big man.
And he has divorced his wife.
Now I'll ask him to come twice a week. We'll get a thousand.
Twice a week? No. Don't do that.
He'll be doomed.
Doomed? Are you out of your mind?
He has lost his mind. Why are you making gestures like a puppet?
He is telling you wipe lipstick from your right cheek.
Lipstick? How did it come on my cheek?
I want to know the same thing.
-Yes. You... -Me what?
-You must have. -Exactly!
No. I was with the Nawab.
-No. That didn't happen. -Then what?
-The meeting. -It's over.
Yes. The meeting.
I was sharing my knowledge in the meeting.
Deep thoughts and all. A girl couldn't control herself.
-She lost control of her emotions. -Exactly!
Really?
Let me see which girl lost her control.
So Sheru. Come.
What smashing music.
Lolita, look behind you. You have dropped something.
Me? Where?
There!
Score settled.
Yes. Score settled.
Get up. Shake hands.
-Nisha will win. -No. Lolita will win.
-Want to bet? -It's on.
-100 rupees? -Yes.
Come on, Nisha.
Get her.
Stop. Ok. Knock it out! Peace.
-How much is five plus six? -Nine.
Nine, It's 11.
Wow, Nisha. She is spinning her like a top.
I am feeling dizzy.
One... Two... Three... It's over.
Out with the money.
Here's your money, you joker.
Three cheers for Nisha.
Hip-hip hurray.
12 plus three is 15. 15 rupees.
Hey, bring Geeta to her senses.
Oh God! I am done.
My body hurts. I am doomed.
Don't touch me.
I am touching you with a bag. Not my hands.
I am just trying to help.
Go and help the one whose lipstick you had on your cheek.
I am thinking of resigning from the post of the chairman.
Otherwise, the girl gang will keep attacking me every day.
How far can I avoid them?
How dare any girl try to hit on you!
I'll make mincemeat out of her.
But you stay away from Lolita. Got it?
Ok. Who's Lolita?
Don't act so innocent.
As if you don't even know her name.
I remember just one face and one name all the time.
Nisha.
Liar.
I swear. I've arrested many.
But you've arrested me... in a way which has no bail.
Dear. Don't look at me with those mesmerizing eyes.
Or I'll commit a murder.
See. I am getting goosebumps.
So I have a cure for it as well.
Oh, God. That fight has taken all of my energy!
How about I sleep for a bit first?
Yes. That sounds good. Sleep.
-Should I sing a lullaby? -You crook.
-You also sleep for a bit. -Yes. I'll also sleep.
"I'll deck up secretly"

Stop.
Let go. Let go.
Let go. Let go. Stop. Stop.
Sheru. What happened?
The day is about to break. I have to reach home.
Why you are limping?
And this mark? The same dog business.
-Yes. -No. No.
Don't torture your body so much.
Quit that job. Or you'll be finished one day.
I don't care. I have to get Nisha out of this flesh trade.
I'll get her out of this trade.
Nisha.
You'll say that I am lying.
But some friends came over last night.
I am telling the truth. They took me forcibly.
I was about to wake you up.
-But I thought... -And...
We had drinks. We danced... I lost track of time.
Lolita.
No. You misunderstand. I was with my friends.
Lolita.
You are so distrusting.
We'll go the hotel tonight.
Your misunderstanding will be cleared there.
Lie. I yearn and long for you.
And you avoid me and go to that witch.
Trust me. I have no connection with her.
You cheat. Look at the nail marks on your neck.
You didn't even feel her nails in the frenzy.
No. No. These are a dog's nails.
What rubbish!
Now I've understood why you avoid me.
You spend every night with Lolita.
Wrong. I am really tired.
First, answer me.
What do I lack that you had to go to that witch?
No. No. I didn't go.
You did go.
You leave me in the night and visit her.
You have slept with her.
Ok fine. I have. What are you going to do?
Leave. Out. Go and live with your darling.
Leave. Instantly.
Leave me. I said leave me. Leave me.
You always barked orders at me.
Today, I'll order you.
No. Don't come near me. Leave.
You've longed for me, right? Yearned me for me, isn't it?
Leave me.
Now how do I leave you yearning?
I'll put an end to your yearning today.
Oh, Lord!
From your face, it seems like you haven't eaten anything.
Here. Eat.
Here. Your 500 rupees.
How will you pay Nisha next Sunday?
There is quite a bit of life left in me.
I'll become the dog's target every day.
Keep it. Give it to me when Nisha gives it to you.
I won't take money from Nisha.
Why?
Had a fight? Did she throw you out of the house?
Did you have a disagreement?
She hates me. I can bear that.
But, she becomes her own enemy...
I can't bear that.
She won't always be beautiful.
How long is she going to continue this job?
But I will save her.
Take it.
Keep it. Eat.
I'll pay this bill.
"Pay the bill." You're a business tycoon, aren't you?
Our life was good. There was peace in the community.
Why did you come here? To transform everyone?
You've spoilt me as well.
I have never fed anyone for free till date.
Eat this. Go down and sleep.
-I need some water. -I'll whack you.
I'll send it.
Aren't you the same Nawab who comes to see Nisha...
Any objection?
Not at all. At one point, I had Nisha.
But I found a better girl. So I threw her out.
Your yellow tooth tells me that you have a colorful chick.
Who is it? A kite or a crow?
Fakhta. There she is.
Try her. Nisha pales in comparison to her.
I am sorry. I have diabetes.
The doctor has advised having only pale things.
Sir...
See you.
Is everything all right, my love?
There was yearning in your call.
I am really upset today. I want to discuss something urgent.
Sure.
But where? On the street here... or in your office?
-There. Let's go. -Please.
Yes... tell me, my love. What's your problem?
Will you do what you said the other night?
Of course, I will.
What did I say that I would do today?
That the doors of your mansion are open for me 24/7.
It wasn't from the bottom of your heart.
If I said it, it must have been from the bottom of my heart.
But if you say so, I must have said it.
So take me to Lucknow with you.
-Today itself. -Ok.
-Won't you? -Certainly, my love.
But think about it.
If you go away, your stupid Sheru will be finished.
Sheru and Balram are all the same.
They're sweet at the start. But then they show their true colors.
I'll show them. I am no cheap girl.
I also have pride.
Do show them. But my love, they are from Mumbai.
How are you going to show your pride and grandeur from Lucknow?
Don't hesitate.
Do you want to take me with you? Tell me clearly.
There is no bush here to beat around.
Try to understand my signs.
How do I take a damsel like you with me?
I am an old man.
But you're not old at heart.
Otherwise, why would you come to me?
You would play cards with me in a club.
I know that you're a colorful character.
Take me with you... I'll be at your service.
I'll live there as your slave.
Impossible!
The tradition of slaves is only in the Arab region, my love.
It has been long abolished from India.
Then I'll become an Arabic slave.
-But... -I don't want to hear anything else.
-Come on. Sit. -But--
Keep your mouth shut and lay down,
and close the only eye you have.
Why?
So that you can also see the picture I take.
Take just pictures. Nothing else.
I'll turn your splendid mansion into an Arabic palace.
I'll caress your feet with my hair... and wake you up.
I'll always be at your service.
-And at night... -At night?
There will be a market of beauty...
and there will be lots of slaves there.
Silken bodies wrapped in silken clothes.
In what dress would you like to see me?
Something where I see less of the clothes and more of you.
That will happen.
Beauty will be at its glory. It will enamor you.
Some slaves will sing.
"Ali"
"I am here"
"I'll take you with me Holding your hand"
"I am here"
"I'll take you with me Holding your hand"
"No. I will not go with you"

"Go away"
"Cheaters and disloyal people like you Are of no use to me"
"I am here"
"I'll take you with me Holding your hand"
"No. I will not go with you"
"Holding your hand"
Spring is in my beard and in my car.
Your Highness, when is your flight to Lucknow?
At 9:00.
Oh God. Let me rush home.
I'll see you at Dhoop Chhaon's Cafe at 8:00 with my luggage.
Listen...
I have to tell you something.
-I lied to you. -I know you lied.
-You know? -Very well.
You are neither impotent nor old.
I see. Ok.
So see you at 8:00 in the cafe.
I was scared. I thought she recognized me.
12 dozen Samosas, three dozen cream roll and four dozen...
-Kurian. -Yes.
Get a coffee.
Ok.
What brings you here so early juggling walnuts, muscle man?
Did that girl dupe you?
She was throwing a lot of attitude at me.
I broke her hand last night.
I just admitted her to a hospital.
Where are you going to get admitted after this? To an orphanage.
I am destined to be wealthy.
I'll earn money with my tricks till I get a new chick.
You carry on.
Let me down a beer.
Your Highness, this is the limit. You shouldn't have come here as the Nawab.
Darn, the Nawab.
Nisha is hell bent on running away with him.
I feel like grabbing his beard and making minced meat of him.
Good Lord. It's the job of chefs to make minced meat.
It doesn't suit your majesty.
She has fallen for this fake majesty.
Here a young lover is risking his life for her...
and she has fallen for an old man's gray beard and squinty eyes.
Today she was just magic, She didn't take even a dime from me.
See... all the money I took with me.
I've got all the money back.
-Money. -I see.
There was a time when I too did the same.
I fell in love with a confectioner's daughter in order to have free sweet.
Explosive love. At age nine.
Since then I've been this healthy...
but I'll tell you that story some other time.
For now, let's make the Nawab disappear.
No, that will not solve the problem.
Nisha will wait for him to return.
She'll keep dreaming about palaces.
And I'll be left stranded.
Yes, I have an idea.
Let's finish Nawab.
Murder?
No. Suicide.
Longing for his lovely wife.
He will drown at a place where even his dead body is not found...
and this stick and clothes will be found floating for proof.
You're seeing the Nawab for the last time.
This grumpy old man is going to drown.
Goodbye. See you. Bye.
All at once.
Goodbye Nawab, R.I.P. Rest in peace.
Where are you off to, muscle man?
To take advantage of my muscles.
Where did the Nawab go?
Balram, where are you off to?
Dhondu. Give me a match before you go.
Darn the match. Here.
You're nowhere to be seen these days.
-You smoke. Keep it... -Ok.
I've reached.
Darn you, Nawab. Today I'll put an end to all your affairs.
Die, Nawab. Go to hell.
Goodbye, mister.
Darn you.
You slime. You have tortured me a lot.
Goodbye. Go to hell. Good night.
Police. Constable.
I will go. I will go.
-Don't argue with me anymore. -Do go.
It's your insult to live as number two where you once lived as number one.
Who said that I am number two?
You said that Lolita took Sheru from you.
Now she is number one.
I am number one.
-Number two. -Number one.
Incorrect. The girl who can captivate the chairman...
she is considered number one in this community.
Is it? Then I'll prove that I am number one.
Undoubtedly. You are number one and you'll always be number one.
Heard that?
Yes... I did.
What is someone who jumps in thoughtlessly?
-A fool. -You know yourself so well.
I was playing a ruse whereby she would've stayed.
But you've shot yourself in the foot.
-You were playing a ruse? -Yes. Yes.
You should've given me a hint.
Come, officer. You're here with your army... is everything all right?
I have to arrest this man.
Me? What did I do?
Murder... of the Nawab.
No. What?
This can't be true. There has been no murder.
Shut up. We found his clothes and stick floating on the water.
-Constable, arrest him. -Wait. Not so fast.
How can you say he has been murdered till you find the dead body?
The search for the dead body is on.
We have found an eye witness.
That witness must be talking rubbish.
The motive needs to be established too
as to why did the murder happen?
Motive? Take out your wallet.
Take it out.
With the motive to loot. Here's the motive.
Madam, this is the Nawab's wallet, isn't it?
Yes.
-Arrest him. -Hold on.
The accused has every right to have a...
consultation with his lawyer in private.
Before your eyes, but away from your ears.
But who is the lawyer here?
This servant.
I ruled the Lahore court before the partition.
If I had been in Delhi, the partition would've never happened.
Let's leave that topic for some other time.
Come, young man. Let's consult.
Look, don't try to cheat us, Otherwise...
Trust me Inspector... Trust me.
What the hell is happening?
Accept the crime.
How? You know that I haven't committed any crime.
Who's going to believe that?
Now if you say that you're the Nawab, then Nisha
too will think you're saying it to save your life.
She has always thought of you as a brave man.
Now, do you want her to think you're a coward?
So what do you want?
I should go to the gallows.
Wrong again, accept the crime.
And show your bravery, the secret door is back there...
Yes. But if I have to escape, then why should I accept the crime?
So that Nisha accepts you.
Now let this modern day Chanakya do his thing.
And when I wink, escape.
Officer, my client accepts the murder charge.
Really? So easily?
Sheru, why did you do such a horrific thing?
Tell me... Tell me. What for?
That's a million dollar question.
Why did this murder happen?
For the 500 rupees in the purse? No.
If the Nawab had been alive Sheru would get 500 every week.
Because the money Nawab would give Nisha...
she would give it to Sheru.
But Sheru is not greedy for money.
But there is something greater than money in his eyes.
And that is love.
This murder is for love.
Lovers have destroyed rules and kingdoms for love.
But there are not many who can destroy themselves.
It's Sheru after Majnu.
Majnu was nothing compared to Sheru.
Some Nawab married his lover...
and that useless man did nothing.
My brave Sheru leapt like a lion and destroyed the enemy of love.
Today, Sheru is ready to embrace death.
So that the Nawab does not embrace his Nisha.
Sheru will die, but his love will live forever.
He will be discussed for thousands of years.
Sheru's love will become immortal.
Sheru, do you really love me as much as Dhoop said?
He has said nothing. How would he know?
It's ten times more than this.
And you?
Me too. Me too, Sheru.
Today I've understood my heart.
It beats only for you.
-Nisha. -Sheru.
-Nisha. -Sheru. Sheru.
Wipe your tears.
You acted quite brilliantly. It was quite a powerful lecture.
Where did you learn all this?
I used to be a hero in silent movies.
I used to deliver such explosive lines that...
but let's leave that story for some other time.
Sheru.
The officer is waiting.
Get home quietly. I'll see you there.
Everyone, chase him.
Hurry up. Hurry up
Come on. Move it. Move it. Quick.
Get him.
Up there! He entered through the window.
You managed to escape.
Not yet. They saw me entering through the window.
They will surely come here. Now, where do I hide you?
In your heart.
Idiot. Your life is in danger and you're joking.
Open the door.
They're here. Escape through that window. Quick.
No. I... I'll hide here.
-Open the door. -They'll check it first.
Let them. But I'll hide here.
-Idiot. -Open the door.
Open the door.
-Pandu. -Yes, sir?
Break it.
Move.
What are you doing here?
I came to rest here for a couple of minutes.
A couple of minutes.
So why did you take so long to open the door?
I was in the bathroom.
Are you aware of the consequences of hiding a criminal?
You'll also have to go to jail.
Believe me. He is not here.
Hey... Search the house.
He is not here.
-He is not here. -He is not here.
He is not--
He is not here.
We searched thoroughly, There is no one here.
I had told you.
But I have seen him getting into this apartment with my own eyes...
through this window.
He might have escaped through the door when she was in the bathroom.
That's possible.
Let's go downstairs and check.
Come on. Come on.
Hey... Come on.
-Come on. -Not here.
You? You've put me in deep trouble.
The murder spot?
Not here!
Where is Dhoop Chhaon?
Don't be angry sir.
The constable eats two Samosas and two butter roll.
I'll get four Samosas and four butter roll for you.
Shut up!
-Where is Dhoop Chhaon? -How would I know?
Welcome! Welcome! Why are you yelling?
I have come to arrest you.
I am certain that you've helped the accused escape.
It's your doubt...
and no one has the cure for doubt,
but I have a way of saving myself.
-Not just one. But two. -What way?
The first, is that now I'll have to get Sheru arrested,
or else you'll arrest me.
Look, you have tricked me once.
I won't leave you this time.
For that, here's the other method.
Crisp new bills.
Five for you and two for you.
Keep it in your purse.
Ok. Now tell me where Sheru is.
-At the murder spot. -Impossible.
No criminal would go near that place so soon.
This is what people think ordinarily.
That's why the intelligent murderer hides there.
Use your brains for a change.
What if he is not there?
Then you can hang me.
Go... You'll find him there.
-Ok. -Go.
Boy, you've had it.
Sir... sir look at that.
Sir... This is the same Nawab.
Mr. Blue Uniform, I'll make you see stars in the day...
if you point a finger at me.
But you were dead... I mean, murdered!
I mean, wrong.
I had been to the depth of the lake for a stroll.
I have a spicy lover in there as well.
Lover in the lake?
Correct. A mermaid.
I have the gift... taste it.
Commissioner sir.
Well, the murder case proved to be a hoax. Isn't it?
Yes. We were influenced by a witness.
Shut up. Excuses later.
Take out your purse first.
-Sir? -You too, constable.
Purse?
Purse. Quickly.
Both of you have been accused of taking a bribe.
But sir... this accusation is absolutely wrong. Who leveled it?
Sorry. This is method number three for my safety.
Hereafter, don't ever mess with this awesome brain.
Sir, they have the same mark. And the number is the same too.
Suspended! Both of you are suspended.
-But sir... -My Lord...
Shut up.
Police are for serving the people... not to loot them.
Both of you are a disgrace to the police department.
Which constable did this corrupt inspector accuse of taking a bribe?
Constable Ratan.
Poor Ratan.
You're back, Sheru.
Not Sheru, Balram.
Your old lover is back with only love in his heart.
Why have you come here?
I got rid of the trouble in your life called Sheru...
and came back to make it up to my darling.
That means you framed Sheru as the witness.
You greedy man... I hate the sight of you. Get lost.
Don't be so cruel, my love.
I regretted deeply after losing you.
I yearned a lot for you. Hereafter I'll dance to your tunes.
Give me a chance, my dear.
I'll serve you 24/7
For your disloyalty. I will break your hand today.
Come on.
I have a wealthy client waiting at Dhoop Chhaon Cafe.
Get back to work...
-Earn some money. -You'll break my arm!
If the rest of your body is fine then you'll earn...
more than others even if you're a handicap.
Come on.
Leave my hand. I'll come... I'll come.
Come on.
Get up.
Come on.
Die.
Accused Nisha.
Before passing the judgment, the court wants to know...
if you regret breaking Balram's arm.
Yes. I regret deeply... Only one of his hands broke.
I would've distributed sweets among everyone if both his hands had broken.
-You too. -What?
Yes. He used to boss everyone.
He would threaten to break your hand.
Now tell me, handicap. Who is a handicap now? You or me.
Order. Order.
Accused Nisha, you're sentenced to nine months jail.
-Nisha. -Nine months.
Did you hear? Nine months. This means I have done something huge.
Go tell the entire community.
Sheru. Thank you. Thank you.
Nisha.
Don't cry. Be strong... Here, wipe these tears.
Here.
My world's coming crashing down.
How will I live without you for nine months?
Ask Dhoopu to give you money.
I'll repay it once I return.
And eat on time... and take care of your health.
Come on.
I am not worried about myself. I am worried about you.
Such a long punishment and your delicate body.
How will it bear it?
It will be fun... I'll get a change.
-Don't forget. I was born in a jail. -Come on.
-Sheru. -Nisha.
Dhoopu. Sheru.
-Nisha. -Sheru.
-Nisha. -Take care.
Nisha.
No. No.
Nisha.
Nisha. No.
Don't look away.
You're extremely beautiful. So pure.
-Don't flatter me. -I swear.
When you can see a mother in a woman...
there is no purer form than that in the world.
I wonder when I'll become a mother.
How far do I endure? I am fed up.
Why? Isn't your maternal family taking proper care of you?
To hell with this maternal place.
When I wanted to eat sour things they didn't even give me a tamarind.
These days when I ask for fruits they give me eggplant.
Have patience.
Your mother too survived on eggplant and gave birth to a girl like you.
You will too.
What if it's a boy?
No chance. The jail's history is repeating itself.
It will be a girl for sure.
I too want a girl.
A little doll.
I'll make plaits with her hair.
I'll adorn her forehead with the dot.
And I'll carry her on my shoulders.
You wouldn't have to.
She has already started walking.
-Already? -Yes.
She runs here and there at times.
My girl is very quick.
She seems to be spry like her mother.
She too will grow up and come to this place.
No. I'll keep her far away from a place like this.
How are you going to stop her?
The custom of our community is that a woman should be a man's prey.
As soon as she grows a greedy man will take her from you...
make her a means of earning money.
I will never let that happen. Never.
You're unable to protect yourself.
How are you going to protect your daughter?
Demons like Balram would loot her.
They will compel her.
Some evil man would want to break her hand.
Someone would try to shame her.
Oh Lord, how do I save my daughter? How?
You didn't have a father, hence you fell prey to cruel men.
Now you want your daughter to meet the same fate,
long for her father's love?
Instead of ruling in a decent family...
she gets pushed into flesh trade.
No. No.
Nisha, if you wish well for your daughter then marry her father.
Her future is in your hands.
You can give her a father's house or a brothel, it's your wish.
I will give her a father's house.
I'll do everything for my daughter.
I'll... I'll even marry her father.
Really? Nisha, I was dying to hear this.
I know you love me immensely.
I wish you had been her father.
What?
Who is her father?
Him... The one who ate the special paan.
He impregnated me.
Him. Forget that old man.
I am ready to marry you.
I have come to know that the Nawab is alive.
How do I give my daughter a stepfather while her real father is alive?
Don't worry, I'll give your daughter the love of both the fathers.
Don't insist... you have opened my eyes.
Now don't mislead me.
Don't take her real father from my daughter.
Her real father is...
You're right... How can I take him away?
That would be a grave sin. Isn't it?
-Yes, Sheru. -Mister.
Are you her family?
No I am not. That bearded guy will become her family.
Inform her family.
A month of her punishment has been waivered.
She can go home tomorrow.
Nisha... congratulations.
Now you can become her father's wife before your daughter's birth.
Sheru, what about you?
Me?
I'll spend the rest of my life...
in and around Nagpur with your memory in my heart.
Nisha, this is our final meeting.
Send me off with a smile.
-Sheru. -Nisha.
Please, Nisha.
I'll go far away from your life with your smiling face etched in my memory.
Smile. Smile.
How do I smile? How can I?
How do I say goodbye?
My heart bleeds.
Sheru. Sheru.
Come on, hurry up!
It's done. It's done. Come on.
-Nisha. -Nisha.
-So sweet.
Why are all of you in white clothes?
Dhoopu said it's a really sacred custom.
Loudness is not allowed there.
So we took a shower and wore sacred clothes.
What custom?
We'll show you.
-Come. -Where is Sheru?
He informed Dhoop Chhaon and left.
He left... my Sheru left.
-Where? -To the Himalayas.
In order to renounce the world.
Oh my God! Come on.
Driver. Come on.
Come on. Drive. Quick. Quick.
Highness.
Can you marry according to this custom?
Why not?
The Mughal Akbar married Jodha in the Hindu way.
-I am also a Mughal. -Correct.
What happened? It's an auspicious occasion.
Cover your head.
Oh, my God.
No. This marriage cannot happen.
You're not a real priest, Dhoopu.
How would you know how to solemnize a marriage?
Silly girl. I've solemnized lots of marriages.
From kings to their pets.
But let's leave that story for some other time.
Correct.
Now finish this story quickly.
It's an auspicious occasion. Why delay a good deed?
Give me the garlands.
Here you go.
Here you go, Your Highness.
I am expecting it to tickle my neck.
No. I cannot forget Sheru... not till my last breath.
Don't go by my gray beard.
I am no less than Sheru.
I will not--
-Sheru, you. -Yes! Constable Ratan.
I got my job back for honesty...
with a batch.
Sheru! Sheru!
Sheru. Sheru.
-Porter. -Porter.
Here... take this.
You spoke so well in the train...
about some stuff.
-Entertainment! -Entertainment.
Give me a way of entertaining myself?
Why do you need a way? You have such a nice wife.
She is old stuff now.
When I return from Jamshedpur...
This time I'll come alone. I'll pay that place a visit.
-You are still colorful. -Dhoopu uncle.
Dhoopu uncle. Dhoopu uncle.
My constable Sheru junior.
Where are your mom and dad?
-Dhoopu. -Nisha.
Sheru... You look great.
Not Sheru, Sub Inspector Ratan!
Of Nagpur.
The same couple.
Mr. and Mrs. 'Goya ke chunanche'.
-He is... -He is...
This story... some other time.
Oh, Dinshaw. Come on.
Come on.
Bye...
Hurry up. w. Come on.
