This is the secret place
where my zealous army and I dream
of liberating Baghdad from the oppression
of Emperor Shahnawaz.
I thought I had lost you.
Tell me something.
How did you escape from the fire
started by the emperor 20 years ago?
'It is the emperor's order'
'that betrayers like you should be arrested.'
'Ruksaar! Let go of me!'
'Leave me!'
After setting my house on fire
after reducing it to ashes
they took me to the desert with the intention to kill me.
I was destined to avenge Ruksaar's death.
Hence, I managed to escape from there.
Tell me something.
What did you do in these 20 years?
I wandered the desert for 20 years.
I came back to Baghdad as I thought the time was right.
Thank God you came back.
Zafar, do not mind me asking this..
You had always been loyal to the emperor.
When did you start revolting against him?
Just like the others, even you feel
that I am that slave of the emperor's
who can never revolt against him.
When I saw you 20 years ago, I never thought
that you would revolt.
Because back then, even I was loyal to the emperor
just like you.
I was ready to sacrifice my life for him.
But the day I learnt that he set your house on fire
burnt your wife
and incinerated your dreams and hopes..
That day..
That day, I realised that the emperor
does not love anyone.
All he has in his heart
is hatred.
Then I kept an eye on the emperor.
And then I learnt that the emperor
is living only for himself.
He does not care or think about his kingdom and the people!
The poor are becoming poorer and the rich are getting richer!
He is not concerned
if the poor have eaten anything
or if they even have clothes!
He is only bothered about his treasure.
But now, everything will change.
Everything!
My comrade is with me.
I swear on God, we will destroy him.
He has destroyed not only me
but also the whole of Baghdad.
And he will be punished for his misdeeds.
I am with you
in every battle against the emperor, Zafar.
My comrade..
I swear.. Oh, my..
Your brain is sharper than the sword.
You are making Aladdin lie
so that you can stay here. Right?
No, Sister-in-law. Aladdin is telling the truth.
God watches everything.
And He keeps an account of everything.
What you people are doing to us..
We won't seek revenge on you. He will seek revenge on you.
Ruksaar, the one who makes a mistake
gets punished.
Tell us what our fault is. What is our mistake?
Is it not true that your husband was a traitor?
Am I right? - Yes.. He was a traitor..
Yes, he was a traitor.. She is right.. He was a traitor..
He was a traitor.. Yes..
He was a traitor..
You are right.. He was a traitor..
Yes.. She is right..
How can all of you be so sure?
Have you seen him betraying his land and the king?
Do you people have anything which can help you prove this?
Yes, answer him. I was very young when I heard that.
But, Father, you are elder to us.
You must have seen it. Father!
We did not see anything. But we had heard
that his father is a traitor. - Yes.. - Splendid.
Even I have heard that you are a gambler.
Did I ever say anything to any of you?
Even I have heard that Zeba steals.
And you have stolen your mother-in-law's ring.
And, Rizwan.. Did I ever say that you have
usurped your brother-in-law's land?
Salma, I have also heard that you..
Hey.. Let it be. These are just rumours.
Let bygones be bygones.
Then how did you believe that my father was a traitor?
Look, everyone is aware of it. Everyone had heard it.
Everyone heard it but no one saw it.
Have you seen it? Have you? Have you seen it?
No.. - Has anyone seen it? - No..
Do not just keep saying 'no'. Tell us what you know.
I have not seen anything
which can prove that Omar was a traitor.
That means, you people are not sure.
You are only doubtful.
Yes.. We are doubtful..
Thank God! You people are not sure.
Just wait and watch.
I will prove my father innocent.
It will not be so easy to prove me innocent, Zafar.
Shahnawaz has accused me of being a traitor.
And you will be rid of this accusation after his death.
Do you know why the emperor is still alive?
Because he makes his pawns do everything.
And his biggest pawn is..
'Wanted. The Masked Thief.'
'He who captures him will be rewarded handsomely.'
This is how the emperor engages in dirty politics.
On one hand, he has declared to reward the person
who finds The Masked Thief dead or alive
and on the other, he has joined hands with him.
That is why The Masked Thief rescued the emperor
from your clutches.
The Masked Thief does illegal things for him.
In return, he is free
to loot the poor of Baghdad.
What do you think we should do?
The Masked Thief is the emperor's right-hand man.
I will finish him off.. - No..
Do not make that mistake.
The Masked Thief can be useful to us
only if he is alive.
That is because he is aware of the emperor's ill-doings
which we can use
to expose the emperor.
Therefore, we will have to catch The Masked Thief alive.
The countdown has begun, Masked Thief.
You will have to pay for the crimes you have committed.
The score will be settled
but not here. It will be settled there.
If anyone ousts a mother from her house
by believing rumours
he will rot in the netherworld.
You know how a potato is peeled, do you not?
Similarly, your skin will be peeled! - No! My skin!
In the netherworld, a person is made to do things
he has never even dreamt of.
Oh, God!
Now, I need to love my wife sincerely!
Do you know what they prepare there every night?
What do they prepare?
Tandoori dishes made of liars!
Kebabs of Wicked Men!
Parathas of Thieves!
Halwa of Backbiters!
Pickles of Cheats! Jams of the Greedy!
And Spicy Wicked Women! - Mother!
And, Ginu, tell them that the angels of that place
give you a hundred beatings but count them as one. - Yes.
There
thousands of crows sing lullabies every night.
Stop it, dear.
Do you want to kill me? - Not yet.
I admit that no one is completely confident
about your father's betrayal
but they are not completely confident
about his loyalty either.
That is why I will prove his innocence, Aunt.
Fine, dear. How will you do it?
I will meet the only person
who knows the complete truth about my father.
Oh, my..
And who is that person? - Emperor Shahnawaz.
Emperor Shahnawaz..
Exposing Emperor Shahnawaz before the people
is the only purpose of my life, Zafar.
I cannot express how elated I am
on getting your support.
Thank you very much. - No.
I should be the one thanking you, Zafar.
All this while, there was only vengeance in my heart.
Now, I am fuelled by rebellion as well.
The day I throw The Masked Thief at your feet
this rebellion will assume the form of an inferno.
And the emperor will be at our mercy.
So be it.
Farewell. - Farewell.
Oh, my..
Certainly! Why not..
Emperor Shahnawaz is indebted to you.
No wonder he will come to you as soon as you call out to him.
He lives on this land and so do I.
I will surely meet him.
By the way, his meeting with His Majesty is better than
your meeting with the angels of the netherworld.
He is right.
We should give Aladdin six months
to prove his father's innocence.
Why give him six months, Rizwan?
Are you planning to amass dowry for your daughter in six months?
One month.
Aladdin, you will get just one month.
To prove your father's loyalty.
Even a month is more than enough for me, Aunt.
I will even move heaven and Earth if I have to.
I will meet His Majesty and prove my father's innocence.
You went through so much and I had no clue about it!
What if something untoward had happened to you?
But nothing untoward happened to me, right, dearest?
I am safe and sound by the grace of God.
Yasmine, an impostor had replaced your father here
and you did not even deem it important to inform me!
Well, Mother.. - Mehrunissa.
Why are you getting angry with her?
Not even a prince could have handled these things
in the manner she did.
Had you got to know about it, you would have got scared.
Imagine.. If the news of my abduction
had gone out of the palace
what would have happened to Baghdad?
It would have led to chaos in the whole of Baghdad.
This news remained within the palace because of her.
And I was fortunate enough
to have got a chance to escape from there.
Thank God you are safe.
I am certain that you two are still hiding something from me.
You are communicating by signalling each other.
Honestly speaking
all these days, I missed these things a lot.
I am as proud of my daughter as you are.
Mother..
That is great. Wonderful!
All right, you two carry on showering each other with love.
I need to go check
what has happened in my kingdom in my absence.
Father..
The physician has asked you
not to go anywhere
until you recover completely, am I right?
You should be taking rest, Father.
You need to take rest. - Yasmine.
A father can afford to take rest but not an emperor.
Father, you are very stubborn!
Even I think so.
But then I suddenly remember
that I am your father after all.
Your Majesty, you are absolutely right!
Piddi!
Father, you may go wherever you wish
but before that, you must take your medicines.
All right? - All right.
Go get father's medicines, Piddi. - All right.
Princess.
This.. This bottle is empty!
What!
It is time for father to take his medicines
and we are out!
Excuse me, Princess.
The physician always prepares a fresh batch of medicines.
But he has not come till now. - What!
How can the physician make such a blunder?
Father, you take rest.
I will go get the medicines for you.
All right? Father, you must not move from here.
For my sake. All right?
Your wish is my command.
I will be right back. - All right.
Come, Piddi.
There cannot be a bigger proof
for my cunning than this, Akbar.
Owing to this plan
I will win no matter what the outcome is.
Omar does not even have a clue
that 20 years ago, it was me
who had started the fire
not the emperor!
I was the one who had destroyed him then
and I will be the one to destroy him even now.
Excuse me, My Lord, but I fail to understand something.
Why did you kill that archer to gain Omar's trust?
You see, he was one of the best archers we had.
Do not worry, Akbar.
I sacrificed something small
to gain something big.
It is not a bad deal
because Omar is the only one in the whole of Baghdad
who can catch The Masked Thief.
When there is a clash
between the swift Masked Thief and the mighty Omar
the former will be defeated.
That means, The Masked Thief
will be in your captivity very soon, My Lord.
Yes. That is because Omar does not rest
until he accomplishes his goal.
And his goal is to catch The Masked Thief.
Once I get hold
of The Masked Thief
I will award him with such a severe punishment
that he will place
his magic lamp at my feet willingly.
Masked Thief, no matter where you are hiding
I am going to find you.
Father, I will find out the truth about you.
For the sake of my mother.
For the sake of her peace of mind.
