Collecting taxes in gold!
You made such an important announcement
and you didn't even think of informing me?
Sometimes, it is necessary to punish such people.
My father took care of
his citizens like his own children.
Now the onus is on me.
And what did you do?
You punished them?
Sometimes
you have to be strict with children.
This is not the minister's mistake, but mine.
Mr. Ali, this issue is between the princess and me.
Don't interfere.
Minister, it is my mistake.
And you being punished for my mistake?
Mr. Ali, please try to understand.
Minister.. - Silence.
Ali, what do you want to say?
Princess, the minister took gold as a loan from me.
And to return it, he made such an important announcement
without informing you, to save the palace.
To save the palace? - Yes, Princess.
The minister had mortgaged your palace for the gold.
If he doesn't return the gold
this palace will be mine.
'What is Ali trying to do?'
The palace will become yours?
Minister, you mortgaged the palace?
When did this happen?
Minister, answer me!
Which gold is Ali talking about?
What's happening here?
How could you even think that
you could take a loan from anybody
and my subjects will repay it?
I had gone away for a few days
and look at what you have done!
You didn't bother to even inform me
let alone getting approval from the ruler of Baghdad.
And you mortgaged my palace?
Minister, don't forget that
you are not the king of this sultanate.
Under what authority did you do this?
He did this because he is your fiance.
We wouldn't have faced this day
if we had paid taxes as respectable people.
But you have delicacies in your stomach
an empty space for brain
and greed in your mind, so you even held me back.
You are a great citizen and the perfect subject!
Come on, do your.. - Wonderful!
First of all, you haven't paid your taxes
and you are hiding the gold too? - So what?
Aren't you ashamed?
You are the parents of the Head of palace guards.
Think of the insult that Gulbadan will face
to have such idiots, dishonest, thieves.. - Hey!
Not me! This is what everyone will say.
How can I say such a thing? I am very naive.
You put Gulbadan's reputation, progress and future at stake
for the greed of so much gold!
I swear on the gold coins.
Daughter-in-law is right.
On one hand is our gold, and on the other hand
is the reputation of Gulbadan.
What do we do?
Daughter-in-law! - Yes?
Please help us this time.
The next time, I and this useless woman..
I mean, I and my wife will not steal tax, dear.
Please help us. Right, dear?
Yes, dear..
All right, Father-in-law. - Father-in-law!
How can I refuse you?
I can commit this offence for the sake of you two. - Okay.
I will hide this gold. - You will hide it!
Yes. Give it to me and I will hide it
in a place where no one can find it.
Please give it to me. - Then, take it.
Give it. Why are you not giving it?
Take it, dear.
Give it to me, you obese woman!
What did you just say?
I did not say anything, Mother-in-law.
Leave the chest, I need to hide it.
Hurry up, Father-in-law. - Leave the chest, dear.
Be careful.. - Sure. - Leave it..
Give it to me. - Leave it. - No! Let go of me
for the sake of gold coins!
I apologise for interfering.
But, Princess, a relationship is based on trust.
And I do not think this relationship
is strong enough.
Tell me clearly as to what you mean, Ali.
Do you really think that the minister
would do something that would cause harm
to you or the subjects?
Princess, the minister is an elderly person.
I mean, you have seen him since your childhood.
Even then, you could not understand him.
Princess, the minister has come up with an idea
that he will extract gold
from the people who have not paid their taxes
and add the same amount of gold to it.
And the lots will be drawn
in the name of all the poor people.
The one whose name will be picked up
will get double amount of gold.
Princess, you are suspecting the minister unnecessarily.
His looks are crooked, but he is very good at heart.
Whatever Ali said is true, is it?
Yes. That is what I had thought.
Then why did you take a loan?
For the welfare of the subjects.
And why did you give him a loan?
For my own benefit.
The country will progress.
I mean, your country will progress
only then will my business prosper.
But, Minister, what was the need to mortgage the palace?
Love
politics
and trade, all three of them
have their own principles, Princess.
And the principle of trade is
that nothing is done for free.
Do you think
whatever the minister is doing is right?
Someone once told me
that suspicion has no place in friendship.
So, I trust my friends now.
Do you accept what people say, so easily?
Some friends are so special that I have to!
You trust the minister.
And I trust what you trust.
If Ali feels that your idea will benefit our subjects
then it will definitely benefit them.
Indeed, you seem to be an interesting man, Mr. Ali.
I want to know more about you.
I will tell you everything about Mr. Ali.
I want to meet you, Ali.
And that too, personally.
Whenever you wish, Princess.
I'll take your leave.
The gold belongs to me. Why should someone else
safeguard my gold? I will safeguard my gold by myself.
Safeguard? My dear.
I felt you were happy to give the gold to daughter-in-law
but you have come to take it back. Why?
How could you think so?
I am Naazneen. I don't feel happy to even give a blessing
but I gave it to her to make her happy.
Then I thought of taking it back when she is not here.
I will also be happy, and both of us will be happy.
Wow, dear!
You are wonderful..
Don't waste time and do the work I gave you. - Yes.
Greedy, worthless fellows.
What did you say?
How can I say anything to you? I am naive.
I was cursing the thief.
The thief..
Yes, look at it. He is so clever, so dangerous..
Dangerous thief!
Gulbadan.. - Dear!
Brotherly thief..
Take all my ornaments.
But spare my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Mother-in-law!
Had a real thief come, you'd have used me as a shield
but look at our daughter-in-law
she wants to save us even when she is unconscious.
She will say that because she is naive
but she has to take rest. - Yes.
You lie down.
Make way, fatty.
Did you say anything? - How can I say anything?
Father-in-law and mother-in-law, are you fine?
Yes.. We are fine.
Take rest..
Oh, God. - Put your feet up.
Why don't you do it?
Oh, God! The headache. The dizziness.
What was I saying?
My dear Father-in-law!
Father-in-law! Yes, Daughter-in-law. We understood.
Cleaning, washing, this buffalo's thrashing..
I mean.. We will take care of everything.
Let's go, and do the cleaning.
I mean.. I-I will do it.
That's better. Kneel down and search.
I mean, keep everything in place.
Hey! What's happening?
What's happening?
Will you tell me what you are doing?
What's all the nonsense you told the princess?
Tell me why you spoke like this
and what your intent is.
Minister!
The princess was questioning
and it was impossible for me to avoid her questions.
As far as I know, you couldn't have answered better than me.
What do you mean?
Do you want to impress the princess
by taking the blame for the minister's laziness?
I am a trader, Mr. Junaid.
I judge a bird by its feather, a head by the footwear
and a house by its bricks.
I interfered between you and the princess
because saving a friend isn't duty, but a right.
When I talked to the princess about the tax
I immediately understood that she will question.
And you have to accept the fact that she believed me.
She believed it. That's the whole problem.
Until yesterday, she was doubting you.
But now, she wants to believe you. Wow!
She wants to meet you.. alone.
Are you jealous?
What nonsense are you talking?
It is not nonsense, Minister. It is love.
If I was in your shoes, I would be jealous too.
The fact is that I am Princess Yasmine's fiance
but till date, she hasn't talked to me
like she talked to you today.
Until now, she hasn't seen me the way
she saw you today.
No matter how hard I try
I never succeed to please her.
Minister
forget about it.
You will not be able to do it.
What do you mean?
Look, just as you are the minister of Baghdad
I am the king of romance.
I have stolen the hearts of more girls
than the number of grey hair you have.
Barking dogs
seldom bite!
Minister, you better take my advice
if the matter is about girls.
Girls are like eggs.
Junaid!
Let me explain.. - No. No, Junaid.
Junaid, you like my sister, Sara, right?
But she does not give you any attention.
Why is that?
She is the girl of my dreams!
I mean, Sara
is so beautiful that everyone will like her.
If you want Sara to show interest in you
do as I tell you.
What? - When you meet her next time
without looking at her, without talking to her
just walk away from there.
Then see the magic.
What!
Magic!
It will ruin everything.
I have heard that people invite problems over them
but you are advising me to dig my own grave.
No way. I will not do that.
Junaid, do as Ali is asking you to do.
But he..
He is talking nonse.. - Chandu.
Chandu, wait.
See, the opportunity has come to you.
Come.
Minister, come with me.
Come on, let us go.
Minister.. - You come, too.
It will lead to problems. - Come, let us see.
You wanted to be an example, right?
See, the opportunity is coming towards you.
Do exactly as I ask you to do.
No.
Junaid!
He is so rude!
He did not even look at you!
My goodness!
He did not even look at me!
Yes.
This is not done!
Even I am not interested in looking at him.
Jhumru, come, let us go!
Let us go! - Very good.
Let us go.
What happened?
Wonderful, Ali.
I admit that no one knows
the matters of heart better than you.
You know the psychology of love too well.
You are a true businessman.
You even deal matters of heart like a business.
Minister, be it love or business
if one acts hasty from the initial stages itself
chances are for it to fail.
Right.
One needs to be patient in both the matters.
Ali!
Ali, you cannot bear to see me happy, right?
That is why.. That is why
you told me to act like that.
See, Lady Sara is upset with me now.
Minister!
Junaid.. Junaid, stop crying.
Hate is the first sign of love.
Okay?
Really? - Yes.
Minister!
Disgusting! Do not use my clothes to blow your nose!
These game plans!
I do not want to play these game plans.
Brother, I am going to Lady Sara
to apologise to her.
Lady Sara.
Lady Sara, I am coming.
Junaid, if you are really feeling that bad
you can apologise to her. But not now.
Do it later.
What!
Junaid, if you do not let the tea boil
you will not get the nice colour and taste.
In the matter of girls, the first rule of love is
let the girl boil with rage.
Let her anger boil.
The more she becomes angry..
More the rage, more will her love deepen for you.
Oh, wow!
Ali, I am afraid that she might get
so angry that she might lose all interest in him.
Oh, yes!
Let us wait and see what happens next.
But.. - Junaid
this is my order to you.
