Kudrat (1981) - full transcript

Om!

Every year we go to Kashmir..

..but since last year my daughter
has been insisting on going to Shimla.

Are you going to
Shimla for the first time?

No, no, I have lived in
Shimla for many years.

We left Shimla and
came to Mumbai..

..when she was 2 months old.
- Okay.

After that we are going now.
Because of her. - Okay.

Because she hasn't seen Shimla.

Look! One more tunnel!
Mama, how many more are there?

Must be a couple
of them more, right? - Yes.



Chandramukhi,
look, there is Shimla.

I have already
been to this place.

What nonsense are you talking?

"Destiny only creates the
cycle of joys and sorrows."

"Destiny only creates the
cycle of joys and sorrows."

"It is manifested in
the lines on the palms."

"Destiny only creates the
cycle of joys and sorrows."

"Sometimes it becomes
memories in adverse situations."

"Sometimes it becomes the
bright future in the springtime."

"There is darkness in one
hand and a lamp in the other."

"Destiny only creates the
cycle of joys and sorrows."

Papa, I got ready before mama.

Hey! Mama, come!

Today your mummy will
come out all dressed up. - Yes.



Look! Didn't I tell you? - Wow!

Mama is looking very beautiful!
- Let us go. - Come.

Dear, today we will go
to Mall Road. - Okay.

I met your mummy for the
first time on Mall Road. - Oh!

And I was charmed
by her graceful walk.

Oh, shut up!

Oh, Sarla! - Oh, Kanta!

You are here! - I come here
every year. And you?

I don't know after how
many years I have come here.

This is my husband.

And this is my old
friend, Kanta. - Hello.

And this is my daughter
Chandramukhi. - Hello.

Is she the same girl
who was born here?

Yes, we had left Shimla
when she was 2 months old.

She is so beautiful!
Bless you, my child!

Kanta, you had
a son, didn't you?

Yes, Naresh. He has just
returned from America..

..after studying medicine.
- Really?

Why not get them to
meet each other? - Sure.

More than half of the
weddings in Punjab..

..are fixed on Mall Road.

Sarla, where are you staying?

At Sunny Cottage.

Well, that cottage is near us.
- Really?

Yes, we are staying
at Akash Niwas.

Oh. - There is one thing.

Tomorrow you will
have tea with us.

Certainly. We will go, okay?

Sarla, come.
How are you? - I am fine.

How are you? - I am also fine.

Hello, brother, how are you?
- I am fine.

About you?
How are you? - I am fine.

Naresh, come here.
- I am coming, mother.

This is my son, Naresh.

Hello. - Bless you!

How do you do, sir?
- How do you do?

Let us go inside.

Come.

Mama was right. One feels like
keep on staring at you.

What are you looking at?

The bungalow.

Yes, it is very old.

Come, let us go inside.

Thank you.

Why did you name this
house as Akash Niwas?

Akash Niwas should
be at some higher spot.

The name of this house
was not Akash Niwas.

The name of this house
was 'Dimple Cottage.'

An Englishman
used to live here.

A military officer.

Mr. Tom.

His name was Mr. Tom.

Painting was his hobby.

The garden outside this house
used to be full of red flowers.

And there was a
lone deodar tree.

There used to be
a rickshaw too.

Tom Walters.

Dimple Cottage.

Have you come to this
house for the first time?

She has come to Shimla
for the first time.

We had left Shimla
and gone to Mumbai..

..when she was
just two months old.

Then..

Chandramukhi!

By the way, the
house is beautiful.

Kanta, have you bought it?
- No, it is rented.

It belongs to
Chaudhary Janak Singh.

He is a very
rich man of Shimla.

He is as kind as he is rich.

His wife has passed away.
He has a daughter.

He loves her very much. - Oh.

I don't know why all of a
sudden I am feeling sad.

Papa, are you
feeling all right?

It's not a physical matter.

My mind just feels restlessness
and then it passes away.

The feeling comes
and then passes away.

Hello, Mr. Chaudhary.

Is the work in the jungle
going on all right? - Yes.

Don't chop more wood
than permitted. - No.

Okay..

Tomorrow morning, we will go
early for horse riding.

Okay, sir.

Sir.

Have the tea served.
- Okay, sir.

Papa, I will just be back.

I wish I was as
beautiful as my mother.

Had your mother been alive..

..she would have
talked to you about this.

About what, papa?

Dear, there is no guarantee
of life. Instead of..

Papa, why have you
started to talk like this?

Who can change
the law of nature?

It is my desire that
your wedding gets fixed..

..while I am still alive.

That means you have got me
educated to become a lawyer..

..so that I should
leave my profession..

..and get married to someone!

What if you get
married to a lawyer?

I mean Mohan.
- Papa, he is very famous.

I am an ordinary lawyer.

How can I dream
of winning his heart?

My daughter is a precious gem.

The man who marries
her will be very lucky.

Do you like Mohan?

And there is no one
better than Mohan, right?

There is no one
better than papa.

Mohan..

..will be coming here.

Papa, why didn't
you tell me before?

Then how could I see
the gleam in your eyes?

Listen!

Listen, mister!

Did you say something?

I have been trying to say..

I have been trying
to say something..

..but you don't listen.

You keep reading book.

I say.. did you recognize me?

I said did you.. recognize me?

Pardon me, I didn't
recognize you.

I am Sita. I am Sita.

The heroine of Ramayan.

The wife of Shri Ramchandra.

Mister, did you study at
Amritsar Khalsa College?

Yes.

So, is your name Mohan Kapoor?

Yes, it is. - Now, tell my name.

Pyare! - Pyare!

Hey, Pyare!

You know, you used to play Sita's
role in 'Ramleela' (folk theatre)..

..and everybody
used to tease you!

You were very beautiful.
- Stop it.

My friend, you didn't
recognize your Sita.

Your moustache blocked the way.
- Yes, friend.

Tell me what are
you doing these days?

These days I am the
manager of Gaiety theatre.

Gaiety theatre? - Yes.

Why did you leave the school?

My father died.

One of his friends took up the
responsibility of my education.

So, I had to go to Delhi.

It's getting cold.
- Have a drink.

You carry on.

Thank you,
I saved on my liquor.

Thank you.

Well, what are you
doing these days?

I am a lawyer at Chandigarh.

Are you a lawyer
at Chandigarh?

So, are you going to Shimla
for the first time? - Yes.

Listen, you will stay
with me in Shimla.

Thank you, my
friend, but I'm staying..

..at Chaudhary
Janak Singh's house.

Oh, my God! Chaudhary Janak
Singh is a very big man.

I cannot compete with him.

He only got me the job.

He only took up the
responsibility of my education.

Really?

Whatever I am today
is because of him.

Very true, that's very true.

There.. Look! There he is!

Come on, hurry up!

Come, give me a hug.

Hello, Mr. Chaudhary.
- Bless you. Karuna.

Hello. - Hello.

Karuna also came
to receive you.

Mr. Chaudhary, why did you
take the trouble to come?

You have come to
Shimla for the first time..

..so why can't I?
- Hello, Mr. Chaudhary.

Hello, hello.

Pyarelal. - Pyarelal.

Did you finish your work?

Sir, you had helped me,
how could it not be finished?

Good day.
Sir, I remembered one thing.

The night after tomorrow,
there is a programme..

..of singer Saraswati
Devi at Gaiety Theatre.

Gaiety Theatre?
- At half past nine.

Yes, Gaiety.
You all should come.

Yes, Mohan will also come.

Promise? - Promise.

Karuna is also a lawyer.
She does practice at the high court.

Really? If ever I have to
fight a case against her..

..I am sure I will lose.

Thanks for the praise.

Karuna! - Yes?

Accommodate Mohan
in the guest house.

He will be more
comfortable there. - Come.

Look, you can see
the whole of Shimla. - Yes.

Mall Road..
- A very beautiful place.

This is the guest house.
- Lovely.

Mohan, I forgot to
tell you of good news.

You have been appointed as
the public prosecutor at Shimla.

What? - Papa!
Congratulations. - Thanks.

Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.

I am grateful to you that you
considered me suitable for this.

Welcome, my boy, welcome.

Yes, I treat only mental
problems or dysfunctional brains.

I mean I am a psychiatrist.

That means you are of no use
if there is a headache or a boil.

No, there are many
doctors to treat that.

Have you studied
medicine in America?

Yes. And I am getting
a good job over there.

I am thinking of going
there after marriage.

Why don't you marry
a girl from that place?

You can fall in love with an
American girl, but can't marry her.

And you can marry an Indian girl
but can't fall in love with her.

I laugh a lot, is there
no remedy for that?

Chandramukhi! Chandramukhi!

What happened?

What happened?
- I am not feeling well.

Shall we go back? - Yes.

Come.

"You are the
messenger of Lord Ram."

This is our ancestral temple
and my ancestors have been..

..venerating at this temple.

This priest and his ancestors
have been priests of this temple.

We have a relation since
many generations. Right, priest?

Yes, sir.

Shimla looks very
beautiful from here.

"You take the side
of the righteous."

Priest, how do Mohan and
Karuna look as a couple?

Very beautiful, sir. - So, fix an
auspicious time for engagement..

..and do check and
match their horoscopes.

As you wish.
- About the predictions.

Okay.

Mohan, I own many of
these buildings and orchards.

I have no other children.
Karuna likes you.

If you agree to this proposal,
I will be grateful to you.

I will become free of
a great responsibility.

You have already
done many favors to me.

There is no
hurry, think over it.

Papa, shall we go? - Come.

I did not feel like returning to
India when I was in America.

Oh.

Now that I am here, I don't
feel like going back to America.

You get stuck on
whichever place you go to.

You should get
yourself treated.

My treatment is in your hands.

In my hands? - Yes.

It is said that half-baked
knowledge is dangerous.

Madam, now the
dangerous is more fun.

Mother was going to talk
to your daddy. - Okay.

About you and me. - Okay.

I told her that first I should
ask you. What do you say?

So, what do you say?

You didn't answer me.

It's strange. - What?

It feels as if this view
is capturing my heart.

The evenings are
usually like this.

Mr. Chaudhary has been
very generous towards me.

I consider myself
to be very lucky.

He always keeps praising you.

And you? - I feel happy
on hearing about you.

Mr. Chaudhary has mentioned
something, about you and me.

Won't you ask me
what I have decided?

If you ask, then the
question loses its charm.

I will enjoy telling
you about it.

Karuna! Mohan!
Aren't you ready yet?

Weren't you supposed to go
to some program this evening?

Papa, won't you come along?

Dear, these evenings are
enjoyable in young age.

Now it's the
evening of my life.

I am going
to meet the governor.

These are the days
for you two to have fun.

Listen to songs,
go to the theatre. Okay?

Chandramukhi.

Mohan, come here. Come.

Where are you taking us?
- Come.

Madam Saraswati, he is my
childhood friend, Mohan Kapoor.

In school, he used to do Ram's
role, and I used to do Sita's role.

Shall we go? The program
is about to start. - Okay.

Today's program
will be different.

Suddenly I feel
like singing a song..

..which I haven't
sung since 30 years.

"I don't know how
much I love you."

"But I can't live without you."

"How much I love you.."

"I don't know how..

..much I love you."

"But I can't live without you."

"I don't know how
much I love you."

"But I can't live without you."

"I have always
been crazy for you."

"I have always
been crazy for you."

"O darling, you have
forgotten long time love."

"You did not appreciate
it, you didn't appreciate it."

"I don't know how
much I love you."

"But I can't live without you."

"I love you."

"If anybody glances at you.."

"If anybody glances at you.."

"..I can't bear it, my love."

"I feel jealous,
I feel jealous."

"I don't know how
much I love you."

"But I can't live without you."

"I don't know how
much I love you."

"But I can't live without you."

What happened? - He will die!

Chandramukhi! - He will die!
- Dear, what happened?

Dear, calm down.

It's okay.

She must have had a dream.
She got scared.

It's okay, dear.

Mohan! It's a
beautiful morning today.

Lovely morning, sir.

Karuna! - Yes?

Take him around Shimla.
Show him our orchards.

And also take him for
horse riding with you.

Okay.

Hi, Mohan! - Oh, Pyare.

Hello, Mr. Chaudhary. - Hello.

Come, come. - Please come.

Pyare, you look very happy.

Who wouldn't feel happy on
seeing the two of you together?

Why so early in the morning?

Are you a lawyer
or a magician?

You have cast such a
spell on Madam Saraswati..

..that she told me in the morning
to immediately bring you to her.

So we have to go to madame
Saraswati's house. Come.

I too will come to meet her.
- Sure, come.

Both of you will go together
wherever you have to go.

From today, I am the
tourist guide of Shimla.

I am your PRO.

Now I have got 2 guides.
Shall we go?

Come.

Oh. Oh, my knee!

Pyare, you were taking us
to madam Saraswati's house.

Yes. - Does she
live in this jungle?

My friend, wait for a minute.
I am feeling breathless.

Let me perk up my mind.
- Do it.

Look. Look over there.
- There are trees all around.

Do you see that thick
tree among all the trees?

Can you see it? It is called
Pa Ma tree. - Really?

Pa Ma?
- You didn't understand?

You didn't understand.
Come, I'll explain. Come.

Can you read it?
Come closer. Look.

But what's so
special about it?

My friend, I have brought
you here for your benefit only.

What did you say?
- It's a very old tree.

Some people say that it has
been there since Bheem's time.

Some say that it has been
there since Ravan's time.

And some say that Madhav
and Paro used to come here..

..to meet when
they fell in love.

Actually, read carefully.
Paro and Madhav.

It is called Pa Ma
because Pa from Paro..

..and Ma from Madhav.

You will get what you wish for.

The lovers come here,
stand near the tree and say..

..O tree, shower your flowers
as blessings if our love is true.

Do you know why I have
brought you here? - No.

That day you had become
nervous on coming here.

I thought if there is
some ghost hiding here..

..I will bash it up.

That way.

I have drunk just
half of the bottle.

He has forgotten
madam Saraswati.

I haven't forgotten
madam Saraswati.

What a song it was!
It went somewhat like this..

"But I can't live without you."

"I don't know how
much I love you."

Stop it!
Stop singing this song!

How dare you sing it?

We have met before.

That day I had seen
you at the theatre.

No, before that.
Some other place.

Have you ever come
to Chandigarh? - No.

Where do you live?

Mumbai.
- I have never been to Mumbai.

But the eyes can be deceived.

But my heart says that
we have met before.

Chandramukhi.

I'm Dr. Naresh.
- Mohan Kapoor.

Nice meeting you. - Pleasure.

This is Karuna. - Hello.

Shall we go? See you again.

I am the guide!

Strange!
You didn't introduce me!

You didn't introduce me to
that beautiful girl! What's this?

'Madhav!' - Madhav!

Chandramukhi! Chandramukhi!

No, dear.
Calm down, dear. It's okay.

Enough, enough.

Naresh! - Yes?

Naresh, come fast. - Okay.

What happened? - Chandramukhi..

What happened to her?

What happened to Chandramukhi?

She suddenly woke up screaming.

She had a nightmare..

Did she have such
a dream earlier?

Last night, she had
the same dream.

Last night she was screaming,
'He will die! He will die!'.

And today.. today she was
screaming, 'Madhav! Madhav!'

Son, come immediately.

Go, son. - Let's go.

Hurry up. - Don't worry,
everything will be fine.

Good morning.
- Naresh has come with me.

You took the trouble
to come so early.

It's my duty. - Please come.

Hi. - It's not so bad
that I'll need a doctor.

But it does need a friend.

What's this I hear
about your dream?

Yes, Naresh. For two nights
I am having the same dream.

But who gave you the
permission to fall sick..

..and lie in bed?

Come on, get up. You and I
are going to have coffee.

"Forget it dear,
why are you sad?"

"Keep laughing, be happy."

"Forget it dear,
why are you sad?"

"Keep laughing, be happy."

"All your complaints
will be over."

"Keep hugging me."

"Forget it dear,
why are you sad?"

"Keep laughing, be happy."

"Forget it dear,
why are you sad?"

"Keep laughing, be happy."

"Forget it dear,
why are you sad?"

"Keep laughing, be happy."

"All your complaints
will be over."

"Keep hugging me."

"Forget it dear,
why are you sad?"

"Keep laughing, be happy."

"Look with smiling
beautiful eyes.."

"..how the atmosphere changes."

"O darling, the face
lights up like this."

"Look with smiling
beautiful eyes.."

"..how the atmosphere changes."

"O darling, the face
lights up like this."

"Forget it dear..
why are you sad?"

"Keep laughing, be happy."

"Forget it dear..
why are you sad?"

"Keep laughing, be happy."

"Come let us lose ourselves,
let your lips smile."

"Let the spring bloom
in these streets."

"Come let us lose ourselves,
let your lips smile."

"Let the spring bloom
in these streets."

Was it nice? - Yes.

Come. Waiter, two coffees.

"Forget it dear.."

Do you remember you
had mentioned Mr. Tom..

..when you had
come to our house?

Yes.

In the jungle, you
suddenly became nervous.

Then you stated
getting terrifying dreams.

And now something happens
to you when you see this lawyer.

What's the matter?

Naresh, I don't know.

Whenever I see him, I feel
as if I have met him before.

"All your complaints
will be over."

"Keep hugging me."

Chandramukhi, I am
worried about you.

If you permit me, I can
treat your mental condition.

How, Naresh?

By hypnotizing you.

I will put you into deep sleep, but
your mind will be under my control.

Then you will answer correctly
whatever questions I ask.

So? - On getting the answer,
that matter will come out..

..which has been
troubling your mind.

When we find the root cause,
the illness will be cured.

I have no illness. - Not illness,
there is some confusion..

..in your mind,
which can be solved.

And when I wake
you up from sleep..

..you won't remember
what you had told me.

But your treatment
will be within my power.

Close your eyes.

Lean back and relax.

Completely relax your body.

Do not think of anything.

Now you will feel sleepy.

You are falling asleep.

Now you will not wake
up until I wake you up.

You cannot hear
anything except my voice.

You will answer whatever I ask.

What is your name?

Chandramukhi.

What is your age? - 20.

Now you will go back
into your past life.

Your age is 15 years.

What is your age? - 15.

What are you doing?

I am with mummy.

Is anyone troubling you?

No.

Now go further
back in your life.

What is your age?
What is your age?

What is your age? - 20.

20?

What is your name? - Paro.

Paro. - Paro?

Where are you?
- In the mansion.

Where is the mansion?
- In Shimla.

Who is Madhav? - My fiancé.

To which place he belongs?
- Village Badhai.

Is it your mansion? - No.
my father is a gardener there.

Which year is it? - 1945.

1945!

1945. Name, Paro. Age 20.
Madhav is her fiancé!

I think she has regressed
into her past birth.

Yes, doctor, it seems so.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

I have never treated a patient
who is troubled by past birth.

Try asking some more questions.
- No, no.

I will have to immediately bring
her back to conscious state..

..or else it will become risky.

If I fail to bring her
back to consciousness..

..she will remain insane
for the rest of her life!

Chandramukhi. Paro. - Yes?

Paro, return to the
life of Chandramukhi.

You will do what I ask.

You are Chandramukhi.

You are Chandramukhi!

Chandramukhi. Chandramukhi!

Oh, God!

Now..now you are
waking up from sleep.

Chandramukhi, wake up.

Open your eyes.

Oh, Naresh. I am very tired.

Is something form her
past birth troubling her?

Yes. - What's the remedy?

We will have to
proceed very carefully.

Keep agreeing to
whatever she says.

Apart from Madhav,
she refers to some mansion.

Here, every large bungalow
is called a mansion.

Didn't she tell you the
name of the mansion?

No. She mentions some village.

Badhai village.
- Yes, there is.

At the foot of Shimla, there
is Lord Hanuman's temple.

The village behind
it is Badhai village.

I will call someone
from the municipality..

..and check the map of Shimla.

It's possible that we can
find out where the mansion is.

First we will take
her to the village.

Her memory may refresh.

She may do something
on seeing something..

..which will help
in her treatment.

This is Madhav's house.

Listen, children, whose house
is this? - We don't know.

Nobody lives there.
- Nobody lives there?

This is Madhav's house.
- Who is Madhav?

Madhav died long time back.

Do you remember when?

I don't know. There was
British rule at that time.

It must have been
about 25-30 years.

He had a sister also. - Yes.

Satto. - Yes, yes, Satto.

But I don't know where she is!
Whether she is alive or dead!

Yesterday someone had come.

She cleaned the
house and went away.

Who was she? - I don't know.

Will she come again?

She left after cleaning.
Who knows she may come again..

Who can tell?

Do you remember anything more?

Let us go further.

Who are they?
- Must be taking census.

And who are they? - They must be
from income tax department.

Let us go. - Come.

Madam! It's you! Hello.

I had come to take the
lawyer around the orchard..

..but you are drunk again.

Now, I am surely going to
complain to papa about you.

Here is your salary.

Madam, these days I
have stopped drinking.

Sir, do you drink? - No.

How can I drink?

Come, I will take you
around the orchard.

This way, this way.

Hurry up, I have got my salary.

Do you mean that there
is no such mansion in..

..the map of Shimla?
- No, sir.

Isn't there any house too? - No.

Meet the bride.
- Congratulations, Julie.

Congratulations!

Lucky Tom.
- Thank you. Thank you.

Congratulations to you.
- Congratulations.

May I kiss the bride?
- Only once.

No one will come forward.

I have heard that your son has
decided to resign from the army.

Sir, nowadays
I don't keep well.

And it is necessary
to look after the lands.

Therefore.. - Hello, sir.

Come, son, we were
talking about you only.

Father, you look tired.
This may take some time.

Let me escort you. - You see how
my son takes care of me.

Yes, yes. - Come.

I suggest you go to Kashmir
for your honeymoon.

Yes, sir.
- Fishing is wonderful.

Hey, girl!
Where are you going?

It's all right, move back.

Madam, this is for you.

For me? How sweet! - Yes, sir,
you were talking about Kashmir, right?

But I don't think you will have
much time for fishing, will you?

Thank you.

No, sir, I'm sure we won't.

Meet me in the evening.
- Well, sir, thank you very much.

Well, Julie.
- Happy times, Julie.

How are you?
- Thank you. Bye-bye.

That's all, I hope.
- Right, sir.

Rickshaw! Rickshaw!

Cheers to Tom and
his beautiful bride!

Cheers!

Darling!

Hey, Paro, it's sweet.

What? - This.

Who says it's sweet?

Sir to madam.
- What did he say?

He said 'sweet' in English.
It means it is sweet.

This.

This is not sweet.

This is sweet.

Liar.

For you, this is sweet
and for me, this is sweet.

Look.

Madhav. - What?

Someone may see us.

Wait.

It's not sweet.

"O dear, what magic
have you cast?"

"O dear, what magic
have you cast?"

"My crazy heart
chants your name."

"O dear, what magic
have you cast?"

"My crazy heart
chants your name."

"What did you do to me
holding in your arms, O darling?"

"O dear, what magic
have you cast?"

"My crazy heart
chants your name."

"It's not sweet."

"You called me near, hugged
me and changed my world."

"The view is different, there are
new signs, it's not the same world."

"You called me near, hugged
me and changed my world."

"The view is different, there are
new signs, it's not the same world."

"What did you do to me by
showing dreams, O darling?"

"O dear, what magic
have you cast?"

"My crazy heart
chants your name."

"O darling, why is my
heart beating so fast?"

"Just like the ripples in the
river, my body feels a thrill."

"O darling, why is my
heart beating so fast?"

"Just like the ripples in the
river, my body feels a thrill."

"What did you do by
uniting with me, O darling?"

"O dear, what magic
have you cast?"

"My crazy heart
chants your name."

"What did you do to me
holding in your arms, O darling?"

"O dear, what magic
have you cast?"

"My crazy heart
chants your name."

Have you written this
name, Madhav? - Yes.

Paro, this name will keep our
love alive for hundreds of years.

Now you will ask me to
take you to the mansion.

I don't like the mansion.

Madhav, I too do not like to
leave you and go to the mansion.

Take me away from
the mansion forever.

Paro, I will talk to Mr. Tom and
take you away from the mansion.

Chandramukhi! Chandramukhi!

Oh.

I apologize on behalf
of Chandramukhi.

She is not feeling well.

Oh, I see.

If you have no objection,
please come to my house.

I have something
important to talk to you.

Please.

Okay. - Thank you.

Let us go.

Chandramukhi's mental
condition is a bit delicate.

She thinks that she knows
you from your past birth..

..and at that time your
name was Madhav.

But why can't I remember
that I knew her in her past birth?

Didn't I tell you that her
mental condition is delicate?

Please don't feel offended if
she addresses you as Madhav..

..otherwise, there is the
risk of a shock to her mind.

And please do tell me if
she mentions a mansion.

You are a doctor.
Do you believe in past births?

She believes in it. I do not
object because I'm treating her.

That is why I troubled you.

Please, do come
if I call you again.

I will need you
for the treatment.

Doctor, I don't want
to get involved..

..in the illusions of
some girl's mind..

..and I don't have time to
come here again and again.

I am not interested in past
births and I don't believe in it.

But on the basis of compassion..
- Madhav!

Chandramukhi, he
is Mr. Mohan Kapoor..

..not Madhav.

Dr.Naresh thinks that
I have a mental illness.

Chandramukhi, not illness,
it's some kind of confusion..

..which will be resolved.

Will you come again? - I will
surely come if you call me.

Will you come
everyday if I call you?

I laugh a lot.

Mr. Mohan will come to
meet us, right, Mr. Mohan?

Will you come?

Yes, I will come.

She thinks I am Madhav.

Something about past birth.

Do I look like Madhav to you?

What are you doing?

Papa likes to have his name
embroidered on handkerchiefs.

J. S. - Janak Singh.

Earlier, my grandma used
to do this, then my mother..

..and now I do it.

It's very beautiful.
- Shall I make for you as well?

Well, for the time
being, I will take this.

No, it is said that if you gift
a handkerchief to someone..

..it causes a fight.

Old beliefs.

But that girl talks
very affectionately.

In a strange manner.

Oh, I have to go and meet
the priest. Will you come with me?

Sure, why not?

She made me promise
to go there again.

But it is not appropriate
for me to go there.

I am surprised that
the doctor insists on it.

He says that it is very
important for me to go there..

..for that girl's treatment.

He said that? - Yes.

Should I go there?

You should definitely
go if she is ill.

Don't you believe
in past birth?

In childhood we are taught
that there is rebirth.

But after growing up
and getting education..

..that belief is shattered.

Do you believe in past birth?

I? Oh, hello, priest.

Bless you, dear!

Papa couldn't come today.
- No problem.

Priest. - Yes, son?

Is there a past birth?

Surely, there is.

If there was no cycle
of births, how could..

..the Bhrigu Scrolls have
turned out to be accurate?

Bhrigu Scrolls. - Sage Bhrigu
had written the Bhrigu Scrolls..

..centuries ago.

They refer to the lives
of thousands of people..

..those who are dead, who are
alive, and those who will be born.

Then there must be reference to
papa and maybe about me also.

Why not? - That's amazing.

One day I will
come to see you.

Maybe there is something about
me as well. - Yes, yes.

Bye. - Bye.

I will never be able
to forget your song.

Priest, papa has sent Rs.
1000 for the temple.

Thank you. - Karuna!

Hello. - Bless you.

I will always
remember your song.

Hadn't I said that Karuna
will also say the same thing?

Blessings to both of you.

On seeing you, I feel
a kind of happiness.

The people of the village have
invited me to the fair tomorrow.

Perhaps they are going to
sing one of my old folk songs.

I used to sing it
when I was young.

Why don't you come with me?

"It's not the rainy season."

"It's not the rainy season."

"O beautiful one, tell me..

..where did the lightning
flash without the clouds?"

"Where did the lightning
flash without the clouds?"

"You haven't seen anything yet."

"You haven't seen anything yet."

"Lift your gaze and look."

"The lightning flashed
here without the clouds."

"The lightning flashed
here without the clouds."

"On hearing about the fair,
I have come to your town."

"On hearing about the fair,
I have come to your town."

"O dear, do me a favour,
shelter me under your veil."

"O dear, do me a favour,
shelter me under your veil."

"It might strike my heart,
it might strike my heart..

..my heart is trembling."

"Where did the lightning
flash without the clouds?"

"Where did the lightning
flash without the clouds?"

"Can't you see the bright sun?
Are you blind?"

"Can't you see the bright sun?
Are you blind?"

"Crazy man, it's not lightning,
it's my dazzling beauty."

"Crazy man, it's not lightning,
it's my dazzling beauty."

"If I swayed a bit,
if I swayed a bit..

..my earrings dangled."

"The lightning flashed
here without the clouds."

"The lightning flashed
here without the clouds."

"It's not the rainy season."

"It's not the rainy season."

"O beautiful one, tell me.."

"..where did the lightning
flash without the clouds?"

"Without the clouds..
- The lightning flashed here."

"Without the clouds..
- The lightning flashed here."

Excuse me, please come with me.

I think she is again
having the attack.

"..flashed here."

Who are you searching for?
The girl who came with you?

Yes. - She went in
that direction.

In that direction? - Yes.

Follow her. She will
surely talk to you.

This!

Chandramukhi,
what are you thinking?

I am just wandering aimlessly.

Why did you come here?

Go away!

No, please don't go, Mohan.

Please don't go.

Don't go.

Look what I have
brought for you.

Don't you remember? - What?

We had met
before, at this place.

That day? - Before that day.

Much before.

You had written this.
You had given this to me.

Come with me. - Where?

Where we had met.

Do you remember,
I was waiting for you?

Madhav! Madhav!

For me? - No, I will wear it.

Look, what's written on it?

What?

Madhav. Paro. Madhav. Paro.

Madhav! - What?

Won't you ever ask? - What?

How much I love you?

How much?

From one end of the sky to
the other end. Even beyond that.

This much. And how much
do you love me?

Tell me!

Paro, I don't know
how much I love you.

"But I cannot live without you."

"I don't know how much..

..I love you."

"But I can't live without you."

"I don't know how
much I love you."

"But I can't live without you."

"How much I love you.."

"I have heard that people
carry the pain of separation."

"God knows how
they pass their lives?"

"To me one day
passes like a year."

"I don't know how
long I can wait for you."

"But I can't live without you."

"How much I love you.."

"If anybody glances
at you, I feel jealous."

"Then with great
difficulty I control myself."

"How would you
know what all I do?"

"I don't know how
restless my heart is."

"But I can't live without you."

"I don't know how
much I love you."

"But I can't live without you."

"How much I love you.."

Take out your knife. - Why?

Take this. - Cut.

Shall I cut your hair?

Cut it!

Madhav. Paro.

What are you doing?

This tree will keep
us alive for 100 years.

This earth will keep
us alive forever.

Do you remember anything?

I can clearly see,
you are Madhav. I am Paro.

Don't you remember?

Mohan, we can't believe
it, but we can't deny it also.

What is it?
- The symbol of our love.

Madhav. Paro.
- When will you realize it?

Will you realize
it after I die?

Or will you realize it
in some other birth?

Chandramukhi,
don't think that way.

Am I trying to misguide you?
Don't you believe me?

I believe. I do believe it
when I am with you.

Then please always
stay with me.

Always believe me.

Mohan, how could you
live without me for so long?

I don't know how I could live.

Mohan, do you love me?
- Yes, yes, I do.

Chandramukhi, I love
you, I love you very much.

I have loved you since
I don't know when.

I love you more than my life.

Madhav, take me away
from the mansion forever.

Mansion?
Where is the mansion?

Chandramukhi,
where is the mansion?

Tell me! Tell me!

I don't know!

I don't know anything!

I don't remember anything!

I don't remember anything!

Mohan, I can't
remember anything.

What happens to you?

Did Mohan talk to you
about engagement?

Not yet.
- What objection can he have?

We will have a
party next Sunday..

..and we will announce
the engagement at that time.

But papa, give him
a chance to speak.

What more can
he wish for in life?

And it is enough for me
that my daughter loves him.

This engagement
cannot take place.

Suddenly my life has changed and I..
I have become helpless.

Chandramukhi? - Yes.

And you believed
in her past birth?

Yes, she talked as if she was
trying to remind me of something.

There was a kind of lightning
flash, a curtain was raised..

..some fog was cleared..
I just believed it.

She is very lucky.

Karuna, if ever I can be
of help to you in my life..

..I will consider
it my good luck.

Just.. just forgive me
for this mistake.

Leave it, forget it.

God hasn't given me good luck..

..but He has given
me a generous heart.

I have a request.

Tell me.

Do bring Chandramukhi
to our party.

I will personally announce
your engagement with her..

..in front of everybody.

No, no! I can't do that.
It's not possible.

Mohan, give me
that much right.

Let me share your happiness.

Promise?

It will be as I wish!

How did Mohan dare to refuse?

It's impossible to not
have this engagement.

Tell the secretary that I
have summoned Mohan.

Papa, he has not refused.
- So, did you commit a mistake?

Did you two have a fight?

No.

So why can't this
wedding take place?

I want to know.
I want an answer.

Papa, this wedding
cannot take place.

Papa, don't I have
a right to my life..

You don't have right
to even raise your voice!

You should be aware
that whatever I do..

..will be for the
well-being of my daughter.

Dunichand! - Yes, sir!

Send invitations to all the
officers and aristocrats..

..for next Sunday's party.

I will announce Karuna's
engagement at the party.

Okay, sir.

Sir, what have you
decided about your son?

He has studied law and he
is grown up. Get him married.

What do you say?

So you were in Chandigarh
in those days. - Yes. - 'Lila!'

Will Chandramukhi be coming?

Welcome, Judge, welcome.
You made me wait a lot.

Sister-in-law,
congratulations!

He has become Sessions Judge.

Thank you Mr. Chaudhary.

Okay. You must be
tired coming all the way.

This mansion is quite far.
Mohan, look after him.

Accountant! Accountant!
- Hello, Mohan, how are you?

Come here. - How are you?
- Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Yes? - Mohan, come here.

Accountant, ask
people to become quiet.

I want to make
an announcement. - Okay.

Hurry up.

Gentlemen!

"The party has
gathered just like that."

"The party has
gathered just like that."

"Let it be colorful."

"The party has
gathered just like that."

"Let it be colourful."

"Let one lamp be put
off, let one lamp be lit."

"The party has
gathered just like that."

"Let it be colourful."

"Let one lamp be put
off, let one lamp be lit."

"The party has
gathered just like that."

"Let it be colourful."

"If I feel like it, I
will sing a song."

"This is celebration of
love, let us do it in style."

"If I feel like it, I
will sing a song."

"This is celebration of
love, let us do it in style."

"Let this desirable
evening stretch till morning."

"The party has
gathered just like that."

"Let it be colorful."

"Let one lamp be put
off, let one lamp be lit."

"The party has
gathered just like that."

"Let it be colourful."

She hasn't come. - She will.

Naresh, how do I look?

Today, there will be massacre
in that party.. that is how you look.

I am feeling a bit nervous.

What's the reason?

"Now my eyes look
upwards as if in prayer."

"My heartbeats
create a song of love."

"Now my eyes look
upwards as if in prayer."

"My heartbeats
create a song of love."

"Let the desires of
the heart be fulfilled."

"The party has
gathered just like that."

"Let it be colourful."

"Let one lamp be put
off, let one lamp be lit."

"The party has
gathered just like that."

"Let it be colourful."

Hello! You are late.

We are waiting for
you since long time.

Please come.
I'll introduce you to my papa.

She is Chandramhkhi.
And he is my papa.

Ill-mannered! Despicable!

Who is that girl?

Mohan is going to marry her.

What did you say?

Mohan is going to marry her.

Why did you hide
this matter until now?

Chandramhkhi! Chandramhkhi!

What happened, Chandramhkhi?

Coffee.

Chandramhkhi, what happened?

I don't know.

Coffee? - No.

Chandramhkhi, remember it!
Remember!

Tell something. Why were you
terrified in this manner?

What happened?

I don't know.

She needs rest.

If she says something, we'll
know something about this mystery.

Then her treatment
will become easy.

Hypnotise her once again.
Put her in a deep sleep.

Perhaps she will be able to
tell something in that condition.

There is a danger if I do that.
- What danger?

She'll go back
to her past life.

And perhaps I won't be
able to bring her back.

But we have no alternative.

What if she becomes mad?

Even now she is getting mad.

I can't take this risk.

You must try.
She is your love..

Don't talk about love.

She loves you!

Then it is my responsibility.

I'll take permission
from her parents.

But you must say yes.
Say yes.

Okay. But this is
the last time.

Chandramhkhi,
you're in a deep sleep.

You are going back to your
past life when you were Paro.

Now you're Paro.

Answer any question
that I ask you.

What is the connection
of whatever that..

..happened last
night with your life?

I'm with Madhav.

Now I'll very soon take
you away from the mansion.

You are telling lies. Madhav.

I'll marry you and
take you with me.

When?

Very soon.

Master told me, take
rupees 200 and get married.

Master is a nice man.

Madhav, whenever
I'll see the sunset..

..I'll remember what
you are saying now.

Paro, now I always see you
as a bride. All the time.

I'm feeling very restless.

It is difficult to stay
till our wedding night.

Very difficult indeed.

Madhav, I too will now
see myself as your bride.

All the time.

It is going to rain now.
Come on.

Oh! listen!

'I don't know how
much I love you.'

What next, Madhav?

We are going to
get married now.

It is so much fun.

Oh! - Papa!

Don't you feel ashamed?

You may roam about as much
as you want after marriage.

Get lost.

What are you looking at?
Get lost.

Why did you take so long?

The senior master is unwell.

He is asleep.

And listen, the junior master
will come late today. - Okay.

Go and put wood in the
fireplace in his room soon.

Let me first change my clothes.
They are wet.

You can change
your clothes later.

I'm coming back from village.

You go soon and do all the work.

Paro, light the big fire.
It is a very severe cold.

Okay.

'I don't know how
much I love you.'

'But I can't live without you.'

'Paro, now I always see you
as a bride. All the time.'

'I'm feeling very restless.'

'It is difficult to stay
till our wedding night.'

'Very difficult indeed.'

'Madhav, I too will now
see myself as your bride.'

'All the time.'

'Wow!
You are looking so lovely.'

'I'll make you my queen.'

'Look, I've built this
mansion for you.'

'All this is for you.'

'All this is for me.
And I'm for you, Madhav.'

'Look there, a bed is decorated
here for you and me. Yes!'

Madhav, come to me.

Paro, come here.
Junior master will come soon.

The dinner is delayed.

The rain has stopped.

Sister Satto! Sister Satto!

Sister Satto.

She is lost in the mansion.

Chandramukhi,
where is this mansion?

I don't know.

Chandramukhi, who
is the junior master?

I don't know anything.

Mohan, the villagers were
saying that somebody..

..had come to Madhav's house.

She will come once again.

We'll find out all about it.

I'll find out about it. - No, Mohan.
Don't go leaving me alone.

I'll come back soon.

No. Please, stay with me.

I'll go.

Greetings.

Can you tell me who Satto is?
Where she is?

Satto is standing before you.
Yes, tell me.

It is my childhood name.

I'm doctor Naresh.

I'm here with
a strange request.

Tell me.

One of my patient is
in very critical condition.

I want your help.

My help? - Yes, I'll
be grateful to you.

We have to go only
up to Shimla.

No problem.
I too have to go to Shimla.

But I don't
understand as to what..

I'll explain everything
to you on the way.

Let's go. - Please come.

Paro!

Paro! What happened?

Why are you crying
in this manner?

Tell me, what happened?
I'm very worried.

Tell me, what happened?

Sister Satto. Junior master..
in the mansion..

What happened? Did he hit you?

My modesty..

He has dishonored me.

Paro! No, Paro.

Please don't tell
this to Madhav.

He'll suffer.

Madhav!

Are you going to kill her?

Madhav, come to your senses.

What madness is this?

No, Madhav!

Madhav!

Madhav!

Madhav!

Madhav!
Are you going to kill her?

Yes, I'll kill her.

Or I'll kill myself.

I'll kill myself.
Or I'll kill him!

I'll kill the junior master.

Madhav!

Madhav!

Madhav!

No! - Paro!

Please come.

Do you know where
this mansion is?

Everything can be
found out from there.

I don't know.

Paro's father
worked as a porter.

I know only this much.

What happened to Paro?

I don't know even that.

After Madhav's
death, I had left Shimla.

How can I find out?

Bhrigu Maharaj.

I had gone to him.

Who is he?

I know. What did he tell you?

When Madhav gets
reborn, he'll meet you.

You met him?

Yes.

You met me.

I have complete faith.

You are a doctor,
you won't believe it.

You are an advocate, perhaps
you too won't believe it.

You both are
well-educated, right?

But I'm illiterate.
And I believe it completely.

Look, even if you have no faith,
still come with me just once.

Right now.

One more question.

Who is the junior master?

Chaudhary Janak Singh.

No.

And this girl about whom
this question is being asked..

..her name starts with Cha.

Chandramukhi!

Those who ask the question..
their name..

..will start with Ma and Sa.

Mohan, Satto.

The one whose
name starts with Ma..

..was Sa's brother
in the previous birth.

When this question is
asked the girl whose name..

..starts with Cha would
be in great turmoil.

Because she is the
same soul who is reborn..

..who had name starting
with Pa in the previous birth.

Yes, Paro.

She was murdered
in the previous birth.

So, she will suffer
in this birth until..

..her murderer is punished.

Punishment.
- Priest.. - Not now.

The one who loved
her in the previous birth..

..will get him punished
and whose name starts..

..with Ma in this birth.
- Mohan.

And one who is
connected with law.

He is an advocate.

Who will I get punished?

The destiny will
punish through you.

But who is to be punished?

Who murdered Paro?

I'll read further.

Now it is being described as
to who carried out her murder.

The page is torn.

So how can I find out?

I can only read from the
book of Bhrigu Maharaj.

I can't tell you
anything more than this.

Can I call you Madhav?

Once?

Madhav! My brother.

"The procession of
misery in my heart."

"The funeral pyre
of grief in my eyes."

"All the desire is
lost from the heart."

"The wind of grief is blowing."

"It sleeps comfortably
in the chest of storm."

"Every garland of the
happiness-sorrow."

"It is formed by the destiny."

"In the lines of the hands."

"It wakes up and lies dormant."

"Every garland of the
happiness-sorrow."

"It is formed by the destiny."

Have you forgotten
even to greet me?

Don't live with an illusion
that Chaudhary Janak Singh..

..is standing before you
to complain about his..

..daughter's broken heart.

I'm only here to ask you
what do you want to say..

..about the drama that occurred
in the gathering that night.

Why don't you say anything?

I'm helpless.

The other name for
helplessness is cowardice.

One more name is silence.
So, I'm silent.

One mad girl has
blinded your eyes.

Let there be curtain on the
thing which is under cover.

This cover is not a coffin
which cannot be opened.

But I can see that you're
getting buried in madness.

You've made a very
big mistake, Mohan.

When you come back
on the right path..

..that path will take
you straight to my doors.

But for the time being my
path goes out of this house.

If you need anything,
you can take it from here.

No request gets refused here.

Naresh was saying it is
very necessary to find..

..the address of the mansion.

Now I've found you, why should
I bother about the mansion?

Try to remember.

I don't remember anything.

Let's go.

There!

What?

The mansion.

Is this the one? - Yes.

The bedroom was upstairs.

On top of it was a store-room.

But that mansion was new.

Papa used to sit there.

Papa! Papa!

Who?

Paro!

Paro?

Paro! - Papa.

My daughter! Paro, I knew
that you'd come one day.

One day you would
certainly come.

You have come.

People told me lies
that my daughter is dead.

No. - I had the faith
that you'd be back.

You'd surely come.

Papa! I'm here.

Naresh!

Doctor is inside
checking up a patient.

I don't understand
what this matter is.

Where has she gone? Paro!

Listen! What do you do here?

I'm the gardener, sir.
But who are you?

Where is the girl who
had come here now?

I don't know I'm blind.

I'm asking you the same.

Mohan, you enquire with him,
I'll go inside and see.

How is Paro related to you?

She is my daughter, sir.

Chandramukhi!

Chandramukhi!
What happened, Chandramukhi?

Chandramukhi!

Take me back home.

So you had lodged a report?
- Yes.

Date?

It was the monsoon season.
It was month of August.

Date was 20.

Which year?

1945.

1945.. Naresh!
Take Chandramukhi home.

I'll come there soon.

Sir.

Sir!
You should've called me, sir..

Good morning, sir.

I want the register of 1945.
Quickly!

I'm in a hurry. - Yes, sir.

Constable! - Yes, sir.

Take out the
register from inside.

Immediately.

42. 43. 44.

45.

March! July!

They all look torn, sir.

August!

10th August.

12.. 20 August.

This is the report
which I wanted. The same.

But only thing written
is that Paro is missing.

The search is going on.

The enquiry and
search is going on.

The search is stopped.
The case is closed.

No reason is given.

Signed by Jagatram.
Where can I meet him?

This constable is
from British times.

Perhaps he would know.

Bholaram! Come here.

Do you remember Jagatram
working here in 1945?

Yes, now I remember.
He had begun to drink a lot.

He also used to
come on duty drunk.

So the government
dismissed him.

Where can I find him?

He was from village Badhai.

Perhaps you'll find him there.

May I help you, sir?

Can you tell me where
is Jagatram's house? - Who?

The one who was in
the police department?

Jagat? - Yes.

I'll show you.

He stays in that small house.

Okay.

Are you Jagatram?

This is Jagatram.

Advocate!
Do you recognize me?

Greetings.

Jagatram! - Yes.

I want to ask you
about certain things.

Sir, my mouth is dry.
How can I talk?

Will you have a drink? - No.

But you can give me a drink.
It is the same thing.

The shop is apposite here.

Please come soon.

Advocate is a nice person.
He'll bring 2-3 bottles.

I'll drink 2 bottles.
And I'll talk.

Give me two bottles.
- Which brand?

Any.

Quickly.

Take the change.

Now you can talk to me.

Jagat.. - Wait.

Wait.

Let me light a lamp first.

The matter is about
long time back.

How long?

I mean to say it
is very old matter.

Old matter? - Yes.

Wait.

Wait, I'll listen now. - Why?

When I drink, all the old
matters come before me.

When I drink my past
life comes before me.

You turned out to
be better than me.

Drink some more.

The past life has
is present here now.

Jagat! - Yes.

I'm Madhav.

Oh!

Madhav!

Madhav?

Oh, you are Madhav? - Madhav.

You are Madhav? - Madhav!

So strange. Wait.

Yes, Madhav!

Jagat! - So you're here?

Jagat, do you recognize me?

I didn't recognize you.

First put this inside
or I'll lock you up.

Put it inside? Here.

Are you enjoying it?

Paro!

Paro? - Hey, do you love her?

She is in the control
of junior master.

No. - Yes.

This is a lie.

It is not a lie.
- Where is Paro?

She is.. - Dead?

Dead.

She is dead.
- Yes, she is dead.

How did she die?

She was murdered.

Who murdered her? Who?

Him. - Who?

Junior master.

Junior master?

Drink it.

How do you know?

I know it well.

Evidence!

I've the evidence too.
I'm not telling any lies.

I've the evidence.

If you have the
evidence, tell me.

I'll show you right now.
- Yes, show me.

Hold me. I'm falling.

Why did you stop
the police enquiry?

I'll show you.

Had you taken a bribe?
Had you taken a bribe?

I had.

Where is it?

What did you find
in the mansion?

What did you find?
- I'll tell you soon.

Here. This thing.

Madhav! Paro!

Madhav! Madhav!

If you have got the evidence
and Paro was murdered..

..by Chaudhary Janak
Singh, then you must..

..file a murder
case against him.

I can't do it.

It is your duty.

I know what my duty is and I
also know that case should be filed.

But I can't do it.

Shouldn't he get the
punishment for the murder?

My life is burdened under
the favours done by him.

He raised me, educated
me, made me an advocate..

He made me the
public prosecutor.

He was ready to marry
his daughter to me.

But I couldn't accept her.

I should file a case
against such a person?

You are the public prosecutor.

But I'm also a human being.

I've a heart I'm my chest.

There is something
called loyalty.

Should I forget shame,
honor, respect and loyalty..

..all these things?

Should I be betrayer?
A traitor?

Then where can
I hide my face?

What respect
I'll be left with?

Mohan!

Mohan, I love
Chandramukhi so much..

..that even if I've to
give my life for her sake..

..I'll sacrifice it at once.

It is my misfortune
that she loves you.

And it is her misfortune
that you love only your honor.

Come, my boy. It's good
that you have returned.

Well, who doesn't commit
mistakes in young age?

What's the big deal
if you committed it?

I am sure that Karuna
will forgive you..

..and she will accept you.

I am also aware that
you're feeling very shameful..

..but cannot
put it into words.

Won't you have a seat?

Bless you.

Whatever I have achieved
is because of your help.

I am grateful.

So, I touched your feet.

I know that you
are not ungrateful.

I have forgotten
whatever you have done.

Have you also forgotten what
had happened 30 years ago?

Paro, an innocent
village girl.

Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten
that you had raped her?

Who has misinformed you?

Have you forgotten
that you murdered her?

Out of respect for you,
I am keeping quiet..

..but you keep
talking nonsense!

A case for murder is
being filed against you.

A case for murder?

Against Chaudhary Janak Singh?

Who will file it?

Public prosecutor.

I cannot forget a favor, I will
not forget an insult as well.

You! Ungrateful!
- It is not advisable..

..to raise a hand on the public
prosecutor, Mr. Chaudhary.

You scoundrel!

You survived on my crumbs
and now you accuse me!

Papa, what happened?

He had come to
falsely accuse me.

And then, Your Honour, just like
a falcon overpowers a sparrow..

..in the same manner, the
accused overpowered the daughter..

..of his gardener, and
satiated his lust with her body.

He raped the innocent girl.

And when Paro became
pregnant, the accused..

..arrogant with his youth, the
spoiled son of a rich father..

..committed another
crime to hide the first crime..

..and he murdered his
gardener's daughter.

Her dead body was
disposed off so cleverly..

..that for years, the
crime never came to light.

Your Honour, today I
will expose that secret..

..and present the crime like
a fresh wound to the court.

I know very well that
the accused person..

..is as very prominent
man of this city.

But, the law considers
the crime and not the man.

Before it, the king and the
pauper, the rich and the poor..

..the boss and the
servant are equal.

The crime is serious, the
punishment is also severe.

The crime is murder,
the punishment is death.

The law happens to
be devoid of mercy..

..therefore there is
no scope for mercy.

Thank you, your Honour.

If a criminal wants to say something
he is given chance to speak.

Your Honour whom we
thought to be our son..

..if he wants to give
me death sentence..

..I've no other option
but to remain quiet.

Is there a lawyer to
defend the accused?

Mother, I will bring back
papa honorably discharged.

I take that oath.

Place your hand on the Holy
Bible and swear to tell the truth.

I will tell the truth and
nothing but the truth.

Your name?

Tom. S. Walters.

Profession?
- Retired Major, Indian Army.

Major Tom Walters, do
you know this painting?

Yes, I had made this painting.
It has been about 30-35 years.

Who is it?

I had a servant, his name
was Madhav.. my God!

Answer my question, who is it?

He had a fiancée.
This is her painting.

Do you remember her name?

Her name was.. Paro.

I have no further questions.
You may question him if you wish.

Your Honor, I have no questions.

Surprising!
She didn't ask him anything!

It's surprising.
- I too am surprised.

There has to be a
cross-examination. - Yes.

Do you recognize the
necklace in this painting?

My brother Madhav had
gifted this necklace to Paro.

Is this the same necklace?

Yes, it is the same necklace.

Paro-Madhav is written on it.

Your Honour, look, the
necklace in the painting..

..and this one are the same.

Exactly the same.

No further questions.

Your witness.

No questions.

The second witness
was also not questioned.

Consider Chaudhary Janak
Singh as gone. - Right.

What was your daughter doing
when you saw her for the last time?

She had gone to the mansion.

Who else was in the
mansion at that time?

The senior master
and the junior master.

Where was the senior master?

He was downstairs in
the glass covered veranda.

And the junior master?

He must be somewhere
inside, how would I know?

Then what happened?

Then.. then the junior master took
the senior master in a rickshaw..

..to the bus station.

Did Paro come out?

Paro did not come.

You must have filed a
report at the police station.

Yes.

Your Honour, this is the complaint
book of the police station.

1945 AD, when everything
used to be written in Urdu.

The complaint was
registered on 20th August.

For many days, it was reported
that the investigation is going on.

All of a sudden, the
investigation was stopped.

Signature is of
sub-inspector Jagatram.

Your Honour, why was
the investigation stopped?

There is a secret, which
will be revealed to the court.

No, Jagdu, today I have
come to ask you for something.

Satto, what do I
have except this junk?

You have broken your
oath to come here..

..and I swear that
whatever I have is yours.

Firstly, give up alcohol.

Okay. - And secondly,
the paper of police report..

It is there, it is there.

It is there.
- Present it to the court.

At which court?
I will do as you say.

I will tell you everything.

But Jagdu, give me one promise.

I spent my whole life in your
memory, what more do you want?

What more do you want?

Jagdu, I.. I will never
forget this favour. Never.

This is the report which I had
written after searching the mansion.

It has the signature
of junior sir.

I had torn it from the report
book and kept it with me.

Place your hand on Gita (Holy Book)
and swear to tell the truth.

I swear on the Gita
that I will tell the truth..

..and nothing but the truth.

Name? - Jagdu..
no, no, Jagatram.

Profession? - Guard at the orchard.
- Whose orchard?

Of Chaudhary Janak Singh.

What were you doing earlier?

Earlier?
You are a policeman, right?

I was in the police force.

Order!

Jagatram, when you were in
the police force did you ever write..

..a missing person's report
about a girl named Paro?

Report? Yes, I had written it.

During the investigation, did you
search the house of Mr. Chaudhary?

I did.

What did you find?

A necklace.

Is this the same necklace?

Yes. Yes, it is.
It is the same one.

From the daily report of
the police, it seems that..

..you suddenly stopped
the investigation..

..about Paro's missing.

Jagatram, why did you do that?

Why did you stop
the investigation?

Your Honour, the witness
is drunk, I apologize for that.

I request to the court that he
should be called again tomorrow..

..because he is a very
important and crucial witness.

And I take full responsibility
for his remaining sober.

Your Honour, I want to have a
chance to question the witness.

But the witness is drunk.

I have a doubt that
this man is faking it.

Your Honour, the witness
does not smell of alcohol.

A charade is being played,
because the witness..

..is not answering the way
the public prosecutor wants.

But I find him totally drunk.

You can ask questions if
the witness is not drunk.

Thank you, Your Honour.

Jagatram!
Are you listening, Jagatram?

Were you sacked
from the police force?

Yes, madam.

Why were you sacked?

What do I say? Alcohol..

Because you used
to remain drunk?

What rubbish!

Jagatram, you are not drunk!

Today I didn't drink
alcohol, I drank poison.

Order!

There is no pulse, sir.

Due to this sad incident, the
court is adjourned till tomorrow.

The wretched man
had to die today!

The whole case has
been turned around.

What is written in the note
that he had handed to you?

I had promised to come to
the court, so I have come.

But how can I betray the
one who has supported me?

I had promised that I will not
drink, so I did not drink today.

I have come to see
you for the last time.

I have torn up the evidence.

Forgive me, Satto.

Your Honour, due to the death
of the prosecution witness..

..his testimony could
not be recorded.

Therefore, I should
be granted some time..

..to gather evidence
and find witnesses.

Your Honour, instead of granting
more time to the public prosecutor..

..I should be given a chance
to present my witnesses.

Are your witnesses present?

They certainly are,
Your Honour.

Call them.

My first witness is,
Mr. Mohan Kapoor.

Do you mean the
public prosecutor?

Yes, Your Honour.

Your Honour, this
cannot be done!

This is a very strange request.

But it is not against the law.

I strongly protest
against her request!

The court would like to know if
this is crucial for the proceedings.

It is very crucial, Your
Honour, I assure you.

The court instructs
the public prosecutor..

..to take the witness stand.

Place your hand on Gita
and swear to tell the truth.

I will tell the truth and
nothing about the truth.

Did you go to meet the
priest of the Hanuman temple?

I did.

Did you go to inquire about
Chandramukhi's past birth..

..through Bhrigu Scrolls?

Yes. - What did you find there?

Your Honour, this is
a totally private matter!

Is your question
connected with the case?

A strange connection,
Your Honour.

A close connection, a
dangerous connection!

In fact, this case is
connected with this matter.

Permission granted.

Thank you, Your Honour.

I am waiting for an answer.

What did you find out
through the Bhrigu Scrolls?

I will change the question.

What did you find out
about the past birth?

I seek permission to come
out of the witness stand..

..and say something!
- You will stand there..

..until I give you
permission to come down!

I warn you to bring
up only those issues..

..which are connected
with the case.

I will be very
careful, Your Honor.

I will again change
the question.

Did Bhrigu say that Paro has
been reborn as Chandramukhi?

And that Saraswati's brother
Madhav has been born..

..as the present Mohan Kapoor?

Your Honour, I will again
request that this question is..

Is it true? Yes or no?

Yes.

Did Bhrigu reveal that
Madhav loved Paro?

And that Madhav will have
to be born as Mohan Kapoor..

..and avenge Paro's death
or else Chandramukhi's soul..

..will never find
peace in this birth?

Was it also written in the Bhrigu
Scrolls that Chaudhary Janak Singh..

..has murdered Paro?

I don't know.

Was it written or not?
Yes or no?

That page was torn.

You may go.

So, this is the
situation, Your Honour.

This case has been
filed based on past birth..

..and it should be
dismissed immediately..

..because nowhere is it written
in the law that there is past birth.

It is also not written in the
law that there is no past birth!

The law is silent
on this matter.

Silence cannot
be taken as denial.

The matter is very complicated.

Let me remind you, Your
Honour, that in this court..

..I was put under oath of Gita.

And a man who takes oath
on Gita, swears by rebirth..

..because the Lord
has said so in Gita.

If the court accepts the oath on
Gita then it also accepts rebirth!

If the court accepts the
vow taken on holy Gita..

..then it accepts re-birth too.

But, Your Honour..the argument
is not about rebirth..

..but in fact it is about
whether the case will proceed..

..based on the
incident of past birth..

..or according to the
currently prevailing law?

Will the dead body of Paro,
who died 30 years ago..

..come to the court
and say who killed her?

Why would the dead
body come, Your Honour..

..when the message of her
soul has already reached us?

In the form of Chandramukhi?
- Yes!

Then, Your Honour, let
Chandramukhi be presented as witness.

No, Your Honour!

Chandramukhi's condition
is not fit enough..

..to present her in the court!

Does she have fever? - No.

Is she physically
handicapped? - No!

Is she so delicate
that the atmosphere of..

..the court will hurt her?

No! - So why can't she come?

No, no, Your Honor!
According to the doctor..

..her mental condition
is very delicate!

Your Honour, I want to call
her here to prove that only.

I consider Chandramukhi's
testimony very important.

If some secrets can be
revealed through Chandramukhi..

..then issue summons to her.

I had told you! I had told you not to
present Chandramukhi in the court!

The matter was not
under my control.

You know very well
that Chandramukhi's..

..condition is not good!

Chandramukhi,
don't feel scared.

I have heard that you remember
things from your past birth.

Is it true?

Sometimes I remember,
and sometimes I don't.

Because of this, has
it ever happened that..

..someone has thought
that you are insane?

Mummy and daddy think so.

Chandramukhi, do you know
that in the jungle near Shimla..

..there is a big tree, on
which the names of Paro..

..and Madhav have been carved?

Yes.

And that they were lovers?
- Yes.

And currently also lovers
go there and pray that..

..their love also should be like
that of Paro and Madhav? - Yes.

And some also start thinking
that they are Paro and Madhav.

Yes.

Did you go to that jungle
with Mr. Mohan? - Yes.

And because you love Mr. Mohan,
in the passion of love..

..you thought that you're
Paro and he is Madhav.

I firmly believe
that I was Paro!

Is Dr. Naresh treating you?
- Yes.

For which illness
is he treating you?

He thinks that there is
some confusion in my mind.

How were you killed? - I?

I mean Paro.

Was the head cut
off with an axe?

Was she shot? Was a knife
stuck in her stomach?

Objection, Your Honour!

I don't know!

Do you know that a man, this
man is being sent to the gallows..

..just because of you?
- Because of me?!

Mr. Mohan has accused him
of murder, don't you now that?

I don't know! - The whole
world knows, yet you don't know?

Your Honour, the truth is being
presented in a twisted manner!

I don't know!

Your Honour, please tell him
that he will be given a chance..

..to ask questions,
he should keep quiet.

You will be given a chance.
Continue with your questions.

Chandramukhi, your parents
think you are insane.

Dr.Naresh thinks
you are insane.

Do you also sometimes
consider yourself to be insane?

No, no! - Objection!

I am not insane!
- I say that you are insane!

No, I am not insane!

Chandramukhi, you
are totally insane!

Your Honour!
- No, I am not insane!

Your Honour, please stop her!

I am amazed! How is she
allowed to do such a thing?

She is crossing the limit!

If you continue like this, the
cross-examination will be stopped.

I am not insane!
I am not insane!

I have no further questions.

Your witness.

In this condition, I don't
want to ask her any questions.

Dr. Naresh had warned that
if she is brought to the court..

..her brain can receive a jolt.

Your Honour, call
Dr. Naresh to the witness box.

Place your hand on Gita
and swear to tell the truth.

I will tell the truth and
nothing but the truth.

Name. - Naresh Gupta.

Profession. - Psychiatrist.

So you treat mental illnesses.
- Yes.

During the treatment,
you hypnotize the patients..

..and take them
back to the childhood..

..so that you can find
the cause of the illness.

Is this correct? - Correct.

Till what age do
you take them back?

Fifteen, ten, five.

In the course of your studies,
were you taught that a patient..

..can be taken
back to past birth?

No.

So your science does not
accept that there is past birth.

No.

So, how did you take
Chandramukhi back..

..to her past birth
during her treatment?

She regressed on her own.

Didn't you feel
any risk in that?

I did.

What kind of risk, Dr. Naresh?

That I may not be
able to bring her back.

And what would have happened
if you failed to bring her back?

She could have become insane.

After that, did you ever
take her back to past birth?

Yes.

Despite knowing that you
have no experience in the field..

..no right, and neither your
science or the law permit it? - Yes.

And despite knowing that
Chandramukhi may become insane?

Yes.

That means you
acted very unwisely.

You deliberately
put the patient at risk!

A doctor like you shouldn't
be allowed to treat people!

And.. - Keep your questions
within the scope of the case.

This is the last warning to you.

I respectfully beg your
pardon, Your Honour.

I won't repeat the mistake.

Last question.

Isn't it possible that
whatever Chandramukhi said..

..while being in her
past birth, could just be..

..the effect of her
mental confusion?

It is possible, but..
- But it is possible!

Yes, it is possible.

No more questions, you may go.

Your Honour, I ask
this court, I ask the law..

..I ask the law-makers
of the world!

Can we trust a girl's uttering,
whose mental condition is unstable?

Can we trust a doctor,
who deliberately puts..

..a patient's life in danger?

Can we trust a drunkard police
inspector who has been sacked..

..and who couldn't understand
that Paro was a maid servant..

..and not just a necklace,
but she could have left..

..anything in any of the rooms?

Your Honour, this case is
about the murder of humanity..

..decency and nobility.

This case is an
insult to the law.

Such a humbug case would never
have been fought in any court.

Therefore I request the court to
dismiss the case immediately..

..and honorably
acquit the accused.

Thank you, Your Honour.

Today is Saturday. As per the law,
you are granted time..

..till Monday to
present valid evidence.

Or else the case
will be dismissed.

Papa, on Monday I will take
you home honorably acquitted.

Papa, I am very lonely.

I want to see Karuna.
- At this time?

Yes, it's urgent. Go and tell her
that Dr. Naresh has come.

Go, hurry!

Madam, Dr. Naresh
wants to see you.

Tell him that
I cannot see him.

Only silence
remained in this house.

You have come
to shatter that also?

I will apologize, but right now I
have come with an important request.

Tell me.

Mohan and I believe that the
evidence the court has asked for..

..can be found in your mansion.

Have you come to ask for
our sword to cut off my head?

An innocent girl's
life is in danger!

An innocent father's
life is in danger.

But you have come to
Chaudhary Janak Singh's house..

..with a plea, and we do not turn
away those who come to this house.

Therefore, tell Mr. Mohan that
not only will I give the permission..

..but I will open the gates
of the mansion for him.

Come in.

Thank you.

Go in.

Thank you.

You can enter any
room you wish to.

This? - It used to
be the drawing room.

Why did you bring me here?

"Sometimes it becomes
memories in adverse situations."

"Sometimes it becomes the
bright future in the springtime."

"There is darkness in one
hand and a lamp in the other."

"Destiny only
creates the cycle.."

It was here only.

Where did it go?

Paro.

I had come to get my necklace!

That night, even if some God
from heaven had seen what I saw..

..he too would have
descended to this room..

..and it would have
happened just the way it did.

I will take care
of you all your life.

And I will give you
whatever you want.

Can you return Madhav to me?

I am aware of your
sorrow, but Paro..

Don't you ever touch
me, junior master!

And if there is God, and if there
is justice, then junior master..

..just like Madhav
was snatched from me..

..someday, fate will snatch
your most precious thing!

'Come on, son!'

I am showing compassion to
you, but you keep cursing me!

'Son, come on!'

Shut up.
Senior master will hear you.

'Son, we are getting late.'

I will scream and tell the world!
- Don't go out!

I will tell the senior sir!
- Don't go out!

'Shall I come up?'

Senior sir..

I'll be right there..

Father, you will get tired
if you climb the stairs.

Go and sit in the rickshaw,
I am just coming down.

Son, what are you doing?

Father, I told you
not to climb the stairs!

It's not good for your health.
Yesterday you had fever.

Okay, I will wait
in the rickshaw.

Chandramukhi!

Chandramukhi! - Chandramukhi!

Chandramukhi!

Chandramukhi, what
happened after that?

Chandramukhi, what happened
after that? - Mohan!

Mohan, don't ask her anything
more, her condition is not good.

At least we found out how
Chaudhary Janak Singh..

..had killed Paro. - Yes.

But tomorrow, how will I
present the evidence to the court?

The court needs
evidence! - Yes.

Look, take her home and
send a police inspector.

I.. I will try to
find out something more.

Murder was committed!
In that very room!

How will you unearth evidence
for something that didn't happen?

Try to remember,
did someone come..

..after senior
master left for Delhi?

No one did, sir. - Think! Try to
remember, maybe somebody did come!

Yes, sir. A mason had come.

To repair a broken
wall upstairs.

What was his name?

Beliram. - Beliram?
Where does he live?

Down there in the village.

Where is Beliram's house?
- Over there.

He has gone crazy
ever since his son died.

Beliram! - Have you come
to express condolences?

He died last year.

Beliram, I need your help. - Now nobody
comes to express condolences.

Beliram, listen! Listen to me!

Listen to me!
- Let me take rest.

I want to ask you something.
- Is that so?

Do you remember the mansion?
Junior master had taken you there.

He might have taken me.

Nowadays, you don't get
good tobacco. Drink water.

It has been 30 years.
Think. 30 years ago.

I used to work very hard.

The junior master had taken
you there. To the mansion.

The mansion!

The mansion? - Yes.

Okay.

Come with me.

Yes! This is the one!
The mansion.

It has become very old.

Doesn't anyone live here?

Come on. Come on.

Who is she?

Who is she?

The junior master said
it was an urgent job.

I shouldn't tell anyone.

I'm sure he must have hidden
treasure in there. - Really?

Come. - Come.

There should be a door here.
Open it.

Yes, there is.

There must be stairs.
- There are.

Come.

Upstairs there is one
more room. Small one.

Yes, there is. Yes.

Yes, this is the one!
But now it has changed.

Yes, yes, there it is! - What?

What? - I had put those bricks!

That treasure.. the thing you
were talking about.. - What?

Whatever you were talking
about, where is it? Tell me!

Behind! - Behind?

Behind the bricks!
- Behind the bricks!

We will have to break the wall.

You can do whatever you want.

Inspector!

Constable! - Sir!

Break it. Start from there.
- Okay sir.

Up there.

Over there.

Careful.

It looks like a wooden box.

Yes, sir. - Take it out.

Sir, something
is written there.

J. S.

Mohan, I have lost.

Mohan, my life is
ruined in every way.

Once you had told me
that if ever I need your help..

..you will readily give it.

Mohan, didn't you say that?

Yes, I had said that.

Mohan, help me today.

My father's life
is in your hands.

Mohan, I beg to
you to spare his life.

Now the matter is
no longer in his hands.

It is in the hands of the law.

Constable, tomorrow
this skeleton..

..will be presented in the
court, with due precautions.

Yes, sir.

Consider Mr. Chaudhary
as good as gone.

Today she is
sleeping peacefully.

The evidence was unearthed.
- Good.

So why do you look troubled?

Madam, my daughter is very
ill, I will go and make a call.

Is the public prosecutor there?
- No, he is not there.

I am Dr. Naresh speaking.
What's the matter?

The mansion is on fire!
- The mansion?!

Nobody move ahead!

Doctor!

Karuna! Karuna!

Karuna! Karuna!

Karuna!

Karuna!

Karuna! Karuna!

Oh, God!

Call an ambulance. - Okay, sir.

Mohan.

Mohan. Mohan.

Karuna. Karuna. - Mohan.

I have saved papa's life.

Oh, God!

I feel very sorry that we have to
carry on the court proceedings..

..on this sorrowful day.

The public prosecutor can
present evidence if he wants to.

Your Honour, I
have nothing to say..

..except that I want to withdraw
this case. - Pardon me, Your Honour.

I request you to let
me speak something.

What is the use when the
case is being withdrawn?

Your Honour, knowing that, I
seek permission to say something.

Permission granted.

Your Honour, there is a
higher court beyond this court..

..the verdict of which
has touched my soul.

There, evidence is not asked
for, but punishment is given.

The evidence that this court
needed must have been found..

..but my daughter burnt it.

And because she found
that her father was guilty..

..she died in the fire.

Which punishment can be
more terrible than the fact that..

..this wound will keep
festering till my death.

Destiny has squeezed
my heart in such a way..

..that all my
hopes, my desires..

..my pride have
been shattered.

And now..
and now nothing remains.

I had only one desire.

To give all the happiness
in the world to my daughter.

To leave behind only
happiness for her.

But it could not be done.

Just one sin of mine.

Took her life.

She wished that Mohan
should marry Chandramukhi.

I give everything
I own to Mohan.

And confessing my
crime before everyone..

..and after accepting the
verdict of the Higher court..

..I seek punishment
from this court as well.

Please, grant my request.

Considering all the aspects,
the court sentences..

..the accused to
life imprisonment.

Bless you!

Bless you!

May you be happy!

'And if there is God, and if there
is justice, then junior master..

..just like Madhav
was snatched from me..

..someday, fate will snatch
your most precious thing!'

"It follows everywhere
those who hide themselves."

"It gives such a punishment..

..which pierces mind and body."

"Then it washes with tears
the wounds of the heart."

"Destiny only creates the
cycle of joys and sorrows."

"It is manifested in
the lines on the palms."

"Destiny only creates the
cycle of joys and sorrows."
