Raja Jani (1972) Movie Script

'Dear, o dear.'

'Come fast and meet me:

our youth is passing by.'

'Dear, o dear.'

'To correct my bad fate..'

'Your one signal is enough.'

'For a lover's heart to die..'

'Your little support is enough.'

'I will spend and sacrifice

my life for you.'

'Dear, o dear.'

'With your picture in my eyes..'

'..I am looking for

you on roads.'

'In your street, your

crazy lover..'

'..is selling his

heart for cheap.'

'Make this deal. Take my

heart and give yours.'

'Dear, o dear.'

Sit down, Imartilal.

Darling, why do you wait and

go hungry for me every day?

Eat the meal.

What wonderful Biryani! You

call it Jehangiri Biryani, right?

What good smell! Here, eat some.

Eat.

Sir, you did not eat

properly today.

I had cooked very good food.

Yes, you had cooked

very good food.

That Jehangiri Biryani

was so good..

..it would have pleased

king Jehangir in heaven.

Go and eat some. - Don't know

what's wrong with my hunger.

Before going to sleep

I was very hungry.

And now after waking up I

feel my stomach is full.

Jai Ram Ji Ki (greetings),

Imartilal.

You've done a favor

on Lord Ram..

..by calling him in the morning.

Now in Lord's name

give me a day off.

This drinking problem of yours..

Motilal, I drank a bit

too much last night.

Wow! Very good! You drink

to get a high every night.

In the morning you drink to

get out of the hang over.

And in the afternoon..

- Take the telephone.

Hallo. Greetings, Mr.

Diwan. I see.

Mr. Diwan is asking whether

he can come now.

Don't let such unlucky people..

..come here so early

in the morning.

Tell him I will meet

him at the hotel.

Mr. Diwan, sir is

busy with Pooja.

You don't need to come here. He

will meet you at the hotel.

Tell me what the news is.

- Well, the news is bad.

I know that. You never remember

me when it's good news.

Raja, we're running out of time.

The plan you'd showed me..

..if you won't complete that

scheme soon, we'll lose it.

Her Highness has prepared

the will.

If she won't find her

lost grand daughter..

..property worth crores of rupees

will go to the temple trust.

Couldn't you find any

girl whom we could..

..present and prove to her

as her grand daughter?

Raja, perhaps you don't

realize that..

..at the rate of 30% share,

you're going to get 2.5 crores.

What are you thinking?

- I am not thinking: I

am counting, Mr. Diwan.

That at the rate of 70% share,

how much are you going to get?

I will increase your share..

..first find out some

girl whom we can trust.

I know it is a matter

of few seconds..

..for you to make

a living man dead.

But I am to make a

dead person alive.

Won't I take some time?

I wish fate would bring me

across a girl whose age..

..is 20 years now, like the

dead princess Ratna would be.

And that girl should

have a beauty spot..

..below the neck, exactly

where princess Ratna had.

But such miracles don't happen..

..without the blessings

of deities.

The problem is that the deities

know how pious people we are.

You never stop joking.

But, Raja, this matter

is very serious.

Because Her Highness is above

70 years of age now.

She's like a dying flame.

Can die any moment.

Don't worry about the

life of Her Highness.

Wherever you might be, I wish

you a happy 19th birthday, child.

Come, Rajmata (Your Highness).

12 years have passed by, priest.

How many days do I have to

face this bad luck yet?

When will I find my

dear grand daughter?

Have patience, Rajmata.

The moment of union

is approaching..

..like the shooting

star in the sky.

Priest, you've been saying

these words for last 12 years.

When will that shooting

star reach the earth?

Why do you forget that

Mother Goddess..

..came herself to Rajmata's

dream and blessed her..

..with a boon that princess

will return soon.

The words of goddess

are always true.

Pratap is still a child,

Mr. Pratap.

We cannot expect him to

be as patient as me.

He is also waiting

for her like I am.

They used to play together

when they were kids.

That's why I like to

see Pratap around me.

O, what inauspicious

moment that was..

..when I left to Prayag

for the Kumbh bath.

But.. but how did

all that happen?

Mr. Khan! - Yes? - You must

be knowing about it.

You were with them till

the last moment.

Sir, it had been only 3 days

after Rajmata had reached Prayag.

Our old enemy Tejasingh..

..sent us a false telegram

saying she was ill.

As soon as we got the telegram..

..His Highness left

for Prayag by car..

..with the princess

and the queen.

I was also with them.

We were having a good

time on the way..

..listening to the sweet

words of the princess.

The goons have attacked us.

Sir, please leave with the

queen and the princess.

I'll handle these robbers.

Himmat Singh, you cannot save

yourself from Tejasingh today.

Mommy!

- Kesar!

Kesar! Kesar! Kesar! Kesar!

- Mommy!

Kesar!

You shameless dog! Come

out and face me!

Why are you hiding over there?

Come out in open if you dare.

Papa! Papa!

Papa! Papa! Papa!

Mr. Diwan!

- Yes?

Distribute these things to the

poor in the name of Ratna.

As you order, Rajmata.

'In this fun fair of the world,

there is a girl.'

'A lonely girl named Shanno.'

'In this fun fair of the world,

there is a girl.'

'A lonely girl named Shanno.'

'Her cheeks are pink.

Her gait is graceful.'

'O ladies and gentlemen,

she greets every one.'

'In this fun fair of the world,

there is a girl.'

'A lonely girl named Shanno.'

'Dear me! Dear me! Every

one makes a pass at her.'

'Dear me! Dear me! Who

should she look at?'

'Everyone is her lover.'

'She looks in everyone's eyes.

She smiles at all.'

'It is her task to entertain

every one.'

'In this fun fair of the world,

there is a girl.'

'A lonely girl named Shanno.'

'People say that her

words are magical.'

'People say that they want to

pass nights under her eyes.'

'People say that..'

'She takes everyone's sleep.

She robs everyone's peace.'

'She has become the talk

of the town these days.'

'In this fun fair of the world,

there is a girl.'

'A lonely girl named Shanno.'

'See, this has become

a very good play.'

'See this good play.'

'Each person has fallen

in love with her smile.'

'Each person loves her smile.'

'Some wait for her. Some don't

wake up from her dreams.'

'As if each crazy lover

had become her slave.'

'In this fun fair of the world,

there is a girl.'

'A lonely girl named Shanno.'

'Her cheeks are pink.

Her gait is graceful.'

'O ladies and gentlemen,

she greets every one.'

'In this fun fair of the world,

there is a girl.'

'A lonely girl named Shanno.'

May Lord make you all kings

richer than king Moghul!

Salaam! Salaam! Salaam!

Live long, you pretty girl.

- Salaam! Salaam!

Keep amusing our

hearts like this.

Here, Shanno.

- Thank you, sir.

She makes my heart jump.

Hey Shanno!

- Hallo, sir.

Will you take this money to

be my queen for one night?

l'd rather give you money.

What happened, wrestler?

Rascal! - Wait, you witch!

You tore a 100 rupees note?

Let go of me, mother.

I will tear his tummy if he

doesn't call me sister.

Where are you running?

Rascal! Scoundrel!

Now call me sister in

front of this public.

Or I'll send you to hell.

Call her sister fast, or you'll

have to call her granny.

Forgive me, sister.

I made a mistake.

Not like that. Bow down at my

feet. - Forgive me. - Run away!

You silly girl!

If you mess with every one,

we will have to beg.

They are our providers.

- They might be yours.

She's never traded her dignity,

and she never will.

Let all the public of the

city understand that.

Everyone has understood.

Come now or the police will

arrest us. - C'mon.

You're out of your senses, Raja.

You gave me a trunk

call to come..

..all way long and

see this circus?

You're dreaming to..

..present this illiterate,

harsh girl as princess Ratna?

Cheers! - You're forgetting,

Raja, that when Ratna was..

..8 years old, she spoke

English better than European kids.

This girl will also

speak, Mr. Diwan.

And will speak the same way

princess Ratna used to speak.

Can a crow become a swan?

At that young age, that girl was

so polite, cultured and lovely.

..that every day people did

rites to cast off evil eyes.

Mr. Diwan, this girl will also

show etiquette. Leave that to me.

Just think if Ratna had

been alive today..

..would her face, complexion,

eyes look like this girl's or not?

Think till tomorrow. If you

find it ok, just call me up.

I'll come over. Bye.

Just answer this

before you leave.

Are you trying to gain the

wealth of Taragadh..

..through that girl

or are you planning..

..to get us into jail for life?

Don't insult me, Mr. Diwan.

My name is Raja.

And when Raja takes on a task,

it finishes before it starts.

Go to that kingdom relaxed.

And when I'll convince this

girl and make her princess Ratna..

..I will talk business to you.

It is impossible to make

this wild animal a human.

Nothing is impossible.

When you and me could turn

humans from monkeys..

..it is no big deal turning

this lovely animal to a princess.

I am crazy after you! Now eat

something from my hands.

No, not like that.

Live long! May you live

a thousand years!

Shanno darling, from

today onwards..

..my bungalow, this empire,

cars and servants are all yours.

From today you are my queen..

and I.. I am your slave.

Mother! Get up, mother. It's

time to leave from here.

Let's go home.

- Sit down!

We are not unfamiliar to him.

Let him jest with

you for some time.

Go and sit beside him.

But mother, he's talking of

his bungalow and empire.

Sir, go to bed now.

You'll feet completely ok when

you wake up next morning.

Sweetheart.. if you're here..

how can I feel sleepy?

If you come along, I can feel

sleepy. Come with me.

Back off, you dog!

Sister, send her

to my room fast.

I am losing this intoxication.

Bastard! You have the guts to

hit sir who owns a bungalow?

I will break your legs..

- Shame on you, mother!

That rascal was trying to

harass your daughter..

..in front of your eyes

and you kept watching?

Of course she would!

Your mother has taken

300 rupees from him.

Mother?! Being a mother you

traded your daughter's honor?

Your motherly love has died

for mere 300 rupees?

Don't talk rubbish to me.

Go in the room. And serve

the sir all night. Come on.

No, I will not do what

you want. Let go of me.

Father! Father, save Shanno.

- Leave your father. Go in.

Shanno may die, but she will

not sell her dignity.

C'mon! Go in.

- Where will you run? Go inside.

Now that's better! My darling,

come into my arms.

You've wounded my heart enough.

Sir.. sir.. Shanno is a very

decent girl. Have mercy on her.

Yes, I will show mercy.

First hug me.

Shanno, this distance

is not good now.

Sir, you are very rich.

God has given you a lot.

But Shanno is very poor. She

has nothing except her honor.

If her dignity is robed,

her life will be ruined.

So what if your life

is ruined once?

I will get you a life thousand

times better than this one.

First quench this thirst of

my heart and relieve it.

If you wish so, that's fine.

But at least let me fit my

blouse properly. - Yes.

Now that's sense.

What is all this? - I will

show you right now. Dog!

What are you doing?

You witch! Tried to act smart,

eh? - Leave me.

Come and hug me.

- Let me go!

Mr. Raja, that girl is very

smart. See, she injured me.

If this wound had been two inches

this side, I would have died.

Come inside. Why do you want

to die? We will die for you.

Come in.

Why are you scared? Come in.

Thank you very much, brother.

- Who are you calling brother?

You. Back off! She's my share.

You back off, too. You rascal!

Shanno can deal

with both of you.

If you try to play pranks on

me, I will tear off your belly.

Put away that dagger. We are

not poor: we have much money.

Here, take this as a token. -

Give that to mother and sister.

Move back!

Take the knife from her.

Let go of me.

Don't try to be smart.

My dear.

Here, take this. Take that, too.

Rascal! You bastard!

Come out here. - May Lord

always protect you, sir!

You saved the honor

of a girl today.

But how did you get into the

hands of these wicked people?

I was hanging outside the train.

Seeing me alone they

tried to harass me.

Don't, sir.

What do you do with such

a dangerous knife?

Nothing: Shanno cuts vegetables

and fruits with that.

Shanno? Who's Shanno? - Me. The

one standing opposite you.

That's my name.

Hey! There's blood on

this knife. How come?

Blood? No, sir, it is not

blood. It is tomatoes.

Shanno had cut and eaten

tomatoes last night.

Really? She's eaten tomatoes?

- Yes. - Ok, sit here.

But where is Shanno going

after eating tomatoes?

She.. where does this train go?

- To Mumbai.

Mumbai? Shanno also wants

to go to Mumbai.

Really? To meet whom?

Shanno has some relatives on

her father's side. To meet them.

Where do they live?

Well.. I don't know

their address.

If you don't know the address..

..where will you go at

2 o'clock in the night?

Will this train reach there

at 2 o'clock in the night?

Yes, it reaches at 2:15.

Do this. If you wish, you can

stay at my place till morning.

At your house? - Yes, if you

like it. And if you wish to.

I neither like it..

nor wish to. But..

Why do you want to kill me?

Who.. who are you?

- Your granny!

Open the door or I'll

cut you into pieces.

Imartilal, open the door.

Stay out, sir. I am fighting

death in here.

She's not death. She's

come with me.

Death.. come with you?

Open the door.

What's this?

Don't be scared, Shanno. He's

my servant, Imartilal.

Whether he's Imartilal

or Jalebilal..

..why was he locking Shanno

inside? Rascal!

Don't say bad words.

He was sleepy.

How would he know who you

are or where you came from?

Come in.

Shanno, you shouldn't feel bad.

Actually, Imartilal is my

butler, cook, servant and master.

He had been playing the role of

Laila in dramas for 9 years.

These days he's playing the

role of Majnu and I am his Laila.

But I don't understand

who this trouble is.

Imartilal, she is not a

trouble: her name is Shanno.

What you need to understand

is, get us the meal fast.

We are very hungry.

And Shanno.. you go to bed

quickly after having the meal.

So will this guest also sleep

over? - Do you mind it?

If the guest does not

mind that, why would I?

I was asking so that I

can make arrangements.

Shall I take a bed

outside the door?

Imartilal, you know

very well that..

..a guest is considered

like God in my house.

She'll sleep in the bedroom,

not outside.

Badru?! - No, the bedroom.

A place where guests sleep.

Come, I'll show you. Come.

This is a special room for

the guests to sleep in.

You can sleep peacefully

over here. - Alone?

Where are the wives of you men?

There are only men in

this house: no women.

If you're scared, you can

lock the door from inside.

Come and have the meal.

- Yes.

Shanno, open the door

and have the meal.

You men can eat the meal.

Shanno is not hungry.

What are you doing?

- How can we trust her?

She might steal a few things

and vanish in the morning.

Ok, go and eat the meal.

Your mother has taken

300 rupees from him.

Being a mother you traded

your daughter's honor?

Your motherly love has died

for mere 300 rupees?

Don't talk rubbish to me.

Go in the room. And serve

the sir all night. Come on.

No, I will not do what

you want. Let go of me.

Hey! You haven't

gone to bed yet?

How will you? You've kept

all the doors open.

If this noise goes on all night,

you won't be able to sleep.

Why are you scared?

You don't need to be

afraid in this house.

Close this door from the

inside and go to sleep.

Eat, my dear. Don't feel shy.

Consider it your matrimonial

feast and eat everything.

Go away from here before

sir wakes up. Leave fast.

Is Shanno eating

with your money?

You are a servant: don't

argue with me.

Only sir, who has offered

me food, can order me.

Get me some strong tea.

Hey! Why did you serve the

poor girl on the floor?

The table wasn't big enough

to contain all these items.

She's already eaten much.

Look, Imartilal, we shouldn't

comment when someone is eating.

She didn't eat anything

last night out of fear.

Wouldn't you let her eat now?

Do you want anything else,

Shanno? - No.

Shanno has had a very good meal.

Ok, get ready: I'll drop you.

Where do your relatives live?

Shall Shanno tell you the truth?

So, were you lying last night?

- Yes, that was a big lie.

Shanno has no relatives

in this world.

You must be having someone.

You must have come

from somewhere.

And you will go somewhere.

Don't be afraid: tell

me the truth.

First.. make this

mad man go away.

Why feel shy of him?

He is a family man.

Imartilal, it is really sad..

This poor girl has no one

in the heaven either!

Go and make tea for me.

Yes, Shanno, tell me.

Sir, Shanno is from

a very decent family.

Yes, that's obvious!

And besides that, Shanno

is very pretty. - Really?

Can't you see that?

It was very dark at night.

I couldn't see properly.

What happened then?

Sir, an old, bad man fell in

love with Shanno. Very badly.

Really? Very badly?

- Yes.

He didn't have hair on his

head, or teeth in his mouth..

..and no bones in his body.

And you know how old Shanno

is, sir. Only this much!

That rascal was really cunning.

He paid 500 rupees

twice to Shanno's..

..aunt's aunt and fixed

marriage with Shanno forcibly.

That's really bad.

Now Shanno was trapped.

What would she do?

So Shanno ran away

from her home.

But Shanno is very lucky

that she found you, sir.

Tell me, sir, where

will Shanno go now?

Directly to the police station!

Your problem with that old man

and aunt will be solved there.

Why are you interfering between

two decent persons?

You rascal!

- Please, keep quiet.

Shanno, your story

is really very sad.

But unfortunately l

cannot keep you here.

You will have to go somewhere.

I had given you shelter

for one night only.

Will it be a sin to give

shelter for two nights?

It might be.

Ok, don't give me shelter.

At least give Shanno a few

days time to think over.

Ok, you can think

over in a few days.

But before that you

think over, sir.

I have thought over, Imartilal.

Shanno will stay here

for another 3 - 4 days.

Listen: I am going

out on business.

Get her to bathe properly,

with some gel.

Yes, soap won't work on her.

Listen, sir. If you're going

out, please take me with you.

Or take the dagger

she has with you.

Imartilal, blow out

this cigarette.

Cigarette? I will blow

out this cigarette.

Sir is an awfully decent man.

Who are you? Man or woman?

Can't you see that in this

day light? You stupid man!

I am Shanno.

Why did you touch sir's clothes?

Take them off. Take

them off or I will..

Dog! You will make Shanno

take off the clothes?

My dear granny, I did not

mean what you're saying.

I was saying that

for your benefit.

What business does sir do?

- First put away that

Rampuri dagger.

My heart beats loud with fear.

- First tell me.

What would I say? Sir business

is to order me.

Sir's father used

to order my father.

And sir's grandfather used

to order my grandfather.

Now sir's kid will

order my kids.

Silly man, will the kids fall

down from the ceiling?

Where is the wife of sir?

- Are you some detective?

I've been answering

all your questions.

Now you tell me. What is going

on between you and sir?

Imarti!

- I'm in trouble!

What is going on?

- Well.. she.. well.. that..

He was asking me what is going

on between me and you.

Ran away out of fear! Silly man!

Look, I've brought some clothes

for you. - For me?

Yes, change these ones and

put on the ones you like.

Listen!

Don't use bad words

in this house.

Which rascal is using bad words?

That silly man has brought

the clothes of men.

Might have brought for

himself. Rascal!

Shanno, don't use bad words.

Rascal is a bad word.

May Lord Hanuman save

from obstacles!

May he save me from you

for two more days!

Brother Imarti, listen to me.

I am not your brother! I am

the only child of my parents.

What a man you are! You feel

bad about a girl's words?

If I like you, what would

I call you? Uncle?

Why do you bother to call me?

Steal some more goods of

sir in the next two days.

And then be off.

Move aside! I want

to cut potatoes.

Listen to this wonderful

thought!

You are a devotee of Hanuman:

I am his devotee, too.

We will have a good bond.

Give me five.

Ok, I'll cut the potatoes

for you on that note.

You will neither cut

potatoes or my cards.

l understand very well your

tricks. Get out of here. C'mon.

And never step in

the kitchen again.

Go, man! Shanno does not need

to come in your kitchen.

Shanno has got a nice

mansion to live in.

Imarti! Imarti!

Order me, sir. Shanno

is at your service.

Where is Imarti? - To hell with

that rascal! He's an idler.

It's so late. And he's cut only

four potatoes since morning.

Really?

- Yes. You don't know, sir..

..he also steals and eats

food while cooking it.

And offers his half eaten

food to you. - Really?

Yes, just order me, sir.

Shanno will cook very good

food for you every day.

Will you move over there?

- Yes, sure. But where?

Where? Here.

Close your eyes. - Look, don't

play some prank with Shanno.

Close your eyes.

And think where you will

go after two days.

That rascal does not care

a damn for Shanno.

Shanno will still not go

anywhere. She will stay here.

Sir Imarti!

- Sir?

Bajarangabali, she's calling

Imarti sir. Protect me!

Tell me, Your Highness.

What's the matter? Why do your

words sound so sweet today?

This is terrible!

Is this justice?

There's a woman in the house,

and yet a man has to cook?

This is very embarrassing

for Shanno. Move aside..

What are you doing? You're

a guest here for a night.

Let me serve you. You will

be leaving next morning.

Then we won't be meeting again.

Is that so? Shanno will

not leave then.

Shanno will cook Dal, Bati

and Churma here from today.

You both can eat peacefully.

That's fine, my granny.

But sir will get you out of

this place tomorrow morning.

That's the problem.

Sir! Please, think

of some solution.

I am very good at

finding solutions.

But why would I tell a

stupid girl like you?

If it had been some pretty,

fashionable girl in your place..

You rascal! Drama man!

You don't know that..

..public in Pune used to

call me Chhappan Chhuri.

People used to fight with

knives for Shanno.

That's the problem. You use

daggers in every matter.

In such situations one

shouldn't use daggers..

..but the arrows of

one's sharp eyes.

Go, man! You're silly!

Shanno would have found

a solution long back.

But she's held back

by her decency.

By the way, what you're

saying is right.

If I want to stay in this house,

I will have to put up a show.

The fun starts now!

Bajarangabali, forgive me.

You didn't show some miracle

to get rid of that trouble.

So I had to do that miracle.

Sir will cut her braid tonight

and will throw her out.

And next morning I will offer

you Jalebis made from pure ghee.

Ok, I'll be off now.

I've booked a ticket

for the last show.

Imarti!

Who is it?

Shanno?

Shanno! Shanno! Why are

you sleeping here?

Shanno! Hey Shanno!

I see. So that's the matter?

'Come, come, come.'

'Come, come, come. Say

something. Listen something.'

'Come, come, come. Say

something. Listen something.'

'Why does the king keep a

distance from his queen?'

'Come, come, come. Say

something. Listen something.'

'The desires have stretched

themselves.'

'The guests in my heart

have robbed my heart.'

'The desires have stretched

themselves.'

'The guests in my heart

have robbed my heart.'

'Don't trade your heart for

mine. At least look into my eyes.'

'Come, come, come. Say

something. Listen something.'

'Come, come, come. Say

something. Listen something.'

'I will be lost in

a land of dreams.'

'Come, sweetheart. Or

I will fall asleep.'

'I will be lost in

a land of dreams.'

'Come, sweetheart. Or

I will fall asleep.'

'Come and settle in my eyes

before the dreams come.'

'Come, come, come. Say

something. Listen something.'

'Come, come, come. Say

something. Listen something.'

'Why does the king keep a

distance from his queen?'

'Come, come, come. Say

something. Listen something.'

'Come, come, come. Say

something. Listen something.'

'Say something. Listen

something.'

Wow! Very good, Shanno.

You sing really well.

Salaam, sir. Thank you.

You sing really well in Hindi.

Why didn't you sing before?

Well, Shanno sings English

songs very well, too.

Just order me.

From tomorrow I will sing

one song in the morning..

..and one song in the

evening every day.

From tomorrow?

- Yes.

But you are to leave

tomorrow, Shanno.

Am I to leave?

Rascal! Silly!

- What did you say?

You have such a nice,

big mansion.

Is Shanno going to rob it?

I will clean up your

house every day.

Clean it up?

- Yes.

Shanno is to go to jail

and be hanged now.

Hanged? Is this justice?

What sin has Shanno committed?

What sin have you committed?

Haven't you stabbed a man

with knife and run away?

l thought you were a poor girl

and gave you shelter in my house.

But you're still cheating me.

After running away

from your parents..

..you say you don't have

anyone in this world?

Don't mention my parents'

names to me.

Shanno will die, but

not go back to them.

I don't want to see their face.

- Why wouldn't you

see their face?

You don't know, sir.

My mother sold my dignity to

a sinner for mere 300 rupees.

Shanno danced in

the streets and..

..earned them 20

- 30 rupees everyday.

Why did they sell

Shanno honor then?

Can someone's honor be priced?

If Shanno hadn't hit that

rascal with knife..

..he would have injured

Shanno's honor.

Now you be the judge and decide.

If you order, Shanno

will give her life.

Shanno is not afraid to die.

She only fears to be hanged.

A person's neck stretches

long and drops like that.

How would I believe a liar?

I swear on Lord Hanuman.

What's this? Why do you

drag Lord between us?

Poor Lord Hanuman!

Don't cry: I know that

you're innocent.

But what do I do about the

police? How do I explain them?

Yes, I can save you

from being hanged.

But you will have to

live like a princess.

And this name of yours..

Shanno.. won't do.

Your name will be..

Ratna from today.

I will change your way of

talking, walking and lifestyle.

Then even your parents won't

be able to recognize you.

And people.. people will call

you a princess and salute you.

So, are you ready?

Shanno is ready to be..

..any one's granny to save

herself from hanging.

Ok, fine. Be off to your

room and go to sleep.

What did you say Shanno's

name would be?

Ratna!

Ratna! Ratna!

Ratna?

Hey! What's this?

My plan is flopped?

Bajarangabali, you

wasted my Jalebis.

Good morning, Ms. Ratna.

Tea is ready, princess.

What is Shanno supposed to say?

- My head!

What is your name? Don't you

recall what your name is?

Ratna.

- Ratna.

Listen: now order your servant

to present you a cup of tea.

Hey Imartilal!

Sir, what is this drama?

Imartilal, behave yourself in

the presence of Ms. Ratna.

Shut up!

Get me some Sindhi tea. Strong.

Ms. Ratna, neither strong,

nor Sindhi nor Beda.

Now you are a girl of a rich

family. So say it proudly.

Boy! Get me a cup of tea.

Tea.. get me a cup of boy.

- Oh no! Say it straight.

Boy, get me a cup of tea.

- Bravo! Very English!

Now drink this tea with such

style and pride as though..

..you were doing a favor to me,

Imrati and the whole lndia.

I know how to drink tea.

What is this?

This noise won't do. It is a

special trade mark of poverty.

Pouring in saucer, directly

in tummy, and fast to work.

Why do you need to hurry?

You are a rich girl.

Drink it leisurely.

Ratna is rich, but how can she

drink such hot tea from the cup?

Tell the servant then..

boy, cool it for me.

Boy, cool it a little for me.

- Not little. Say a bit.

A bit. - Little. - A bit.

- Little. - A bit.

A bit.. bit.. a little

- A bit..

Sir, a bit.

- That's what I am saying.

A bit, sir.

- Get out!

Boy, get me some water.

As you order, princess.

Get me a bit cold water. A bit?

- Good. Now start eating.

Knife in this hand:

fork in this hand.

Sir, keep her away from knives

and forks. - Shut up, lmrati.

How do I use the knife?

- Look at me.

Press with the fork, and

cut with the knife.

Now pick up with

fork and eat it.

Doesn't matter. I'll show you.

Look.. use your hands lightly.

Hold the knife slanted.

Press the food with fork.

And now cut with knife slowly.

And then eat.

What nice smell! - Yes, some

Kashmiri saffron is added to that.

Not from the hen:

from your body!

Fooling him very well.

The girl's hand should be here.

The other hand here.

And like that.

1, 2, 3, 4.

What happened? Why

are you laughing?

I feel ticklish.

Be serious.

Write A.

- A.

This is A. Now write B.

- B

Is this B? My foot! Looks

like railway signal!

This is B. Write C.

- C.

Fine. Write D.

- D.

Is this D? You've written

it wrong way.

'Forget ABCD. Look

into my eyes.'

'Look, don't break my heart.'

'It is a beautiful evening,

Raja dear, Raja dear.'

'Raja dear, Raja dear.'

'Forget ABCD. Look

into my eyes.'

'Look, don't break my heart.'

'It is a beautiful evening,

Raja dear, Raja dear.'

'Raja dear, Raja dear.'

'Smile a bit. Smile a bit.'

'Teach me the lesson of love.'

'Tell me how does one

love in English.'

'Tell me how does one love'

'The weather is beautiful,

Raja dear, Raja dear.'

'Raja dear, Raja dear.'

'Forget it, dear.

Forget it, dear.'

'Forget this foreign language.'

'What's good about tennis?

Let's play hide and seek.'

'Let's play hide and seek.'

'The youth will not stay long,

Raja dear, Raja dear.'

'Raja dear, Raja dear.'

'Forget ABCD. Look

into my eyes.'

'Look, don't break my heart.'

'It is a beautiful evening,

Raja dear, Raja dear.'

'Raja dear, Raja dear.'

'I know the reason.

I know the reason.'

'I know why I've become

your devotee.'

'We won't get along well.'

'You are a mister,

and I am a nomad.'

'You are a mister,

and I am a nomad.'

'I am fire and you are water,

Raja dear, Raja dear.'

'Raja dear, Raja dear.'

'Forget ABCD. Look

into my eyes.'

'Look, don't break my heart.'

'It is a beautiful evening,

Raja dear, Raja dear.'

'Raja, Raja, Raja, dear.'

Take this slap as..

..an auspicious moment

and go from here.

Sir hits really hard.

I've already been hit

with 12 dozen shoes.

You won't be able

to bear all that.

So if you wish your well being,

go away from here soon.

You are mad, Imarti!

You don't know that sir

considers Shanno as his wife.

Consider you his wife?

Yes, if he didn't take me as

his wife, why would he slap me?

Good morning, sir. You will get

this juice every morning now.

What are you doing here?

Imarti! - I've sent him to the

market to get vegetables.

Give me the bottle.

- No, I won't.

You've acted as you wished.

Because there was no woman to

handle this house earlier.

Now you will have to do

what I say. Got it?

And I won't be scared

of anyone now.

Lord, you won't be having a

more foolish devotee than me.

I unnecessarily tried to get

rid of that poor Shanno.

Shanno, who turned this hotel

to home and sir to a human.

We don't have much time. Shanno

is waiting at the dining room.

So let's talk business now.

- We've already talked over it.

You will be getting

30% share, and I 70%.

Cheers! - Wait a minute!

- What happened?

Mr. Diwan, looks like

you're memory..

..is getting washed

with growing age.

It was decided that we'll

make a deal when..

..I'll turn Shanno

to princess Ratna.

And now the matter is that we

will have a 50 - 50 share.

If you agree to that,

join hands.

Otherwise here's the ticket

for your flight.

Reach the airport at 3 o'clock.

But have you explained that

girl what she is supposed to do?

Is she ready?

Your task is to join

hands with me.

It is my task to tell

her and convince her.

Ok, partner. The deal is closed.

We are partners. 50

- 50.

Where have you brought me?

Who are these pictures of?

Strange! You've forgotten

your family?

Do you know her? Or have

you forgotten her, too?

This is your childhood picture.

You seem to be in a mood

to jest with me today.

This is not some joke, Ratna.

This is the last lesson, which

you will have to learn by heart.

Because after that

will be your exam.

If you pass that test..

..you will have plenty

of wealth at your feet.

And if by chance you fail that

test, both of us will have to..

..go jail.

You will be in women's cell,

and I in men's ward.

Now stop this fun. Your

joke is scaring me.

Stop being scared and

listen to me carefully.

She is Ratna, the heiress

of Taragadh empire.

When she was 7 years old,

she was going to..

..Prayag Raj by car with her

father, Himmat Singh..

..and her mother, Madam Kesar.

When they were passing

by the dense jungle..

..the family enemy of

the king, Tejasingh..

..attacked them and killed

the king and queen.

He carried the princess and

tried to run away on a horse.

At that time, a loyal

servant of the king..

..Juman Khan, fired

at Tejasingh.

Tejasingh was injured,

but he escaped.

But in that commotion..

..princess Ratna fell from his

hands in the sea and died.

But because Ratna's dead

body was not found..

..Rajmata still feels that her

grand daughter is alive..

..and will come back some

day or the other.

So you will have to remember

even the smallest points..

..of the princess' childhood.

And will have to keep in mind

each place and person..

..which might have been related

to princess Ratna's life.

I don't understand

what you mean.

I mean that if princess

Ratna was alive today..

..she would look

exactly like you.

So now you are to go to Rajmata

and prove to her..

..that you are her lost

grand daughter, Ratna.

What?

No, no, Raja, I won't be able

to do this. No, I can't do this.

Use your brains before

talking, Shanno.

Raja is not used

to hearing 'No'.

So all that sympathy, that

love you had for me..

..was only a deception to

force me to do this fraud?

It is you who are deceiving me.

While indulging in the luxuries

offered by money..

..did you ever think for once

where that money came from?

And now when you have a

chance to earn money..

..you consider it fraud?

I say, what did you think

while enjoying..

..all this luxury in a

stranger's house for free?

I have done a mistake, Raja.

I was deceived.

l thought you also loved me.

Love? Don't even speak this

unlucky word in front of me again.

I've been cheated badly..

..in the name of decency,

sympathy and love.

These are traps with which a

clever hunter hunts his prey.

Enough, Raja! For God's

sake, stop it.

I didn't know I was being

prepared to be..

..sacrificed for wealth

in the name of love.

I will beg to feed myself..

..but I will never do

such a sinful job.

Ok, go back to that honorable

world of yours..

..where your parents had sold

your dignity for 300 rupees.

Where one day you

will have to sell..

..your youth for peanuts

to earn a living.

And one day you won't

get a buyer either.

Listen!

This is Raja's house. Take

whatever you want and go away.

I had come empty handed:

I will go empty handed.

Are you leaving?

Go, but answer my

question first.

Had you come here to marry sir

or extort money from him?

Don't hurt me more, Imarti.

You don't know what

sir has told me.

I've heard every thing.

I thought you will do what I have

been unable to do all my life.

You might bring sir

on the right path.

But you don't love sir as

much as he loves money.

You haven't understood

your sir, Imarti.

He's not a human: he is..

- He is a deity.

Yes, one wouldn't find an angel

like him on this earth.

He is a king who has allowed

the poor to rule.

He's helped so many people.

He's bore darkness

in his own house..

..and lighted other

people's houses.

So what's wrong with

your sir now?

Nothing's wrong with him: it is

the Almighty who is asleep.

This world punished my sir for

his humanity and decency..

..and made him beg for a penny.

The person whom sir had given

thousands of rupees earlier..

..didn't help him a bit when

sir's mother fell ill.

The world wounded sir's

heart for money..

..but sir kept smiling

for every injury.

He used to forget his sorrows in

the company of a girl he loved.

But when that girl, too,

abandoned sir for money..

..sir's heart was broken.

Raja?!

How dare you enter?

You are also my childhood

friend, Mr. Lakhpat.

Have you forgotten me?

- Lakhpat, throw him out.

How did you dare to come in

without permission? Out!

Get out! Get out!

I will send you to jail.

You had the guts to insult

Lakhpat in my house?

Don't be tensed.

Your dear Lakhpat became a

millionaire on my support.

Talk about yourself.

- I don't want to talk to you.

But understand this well.

I won't let you ruin the

happiness of my life.

My dear, I was the happiness

of your life some day.

The joy of your life lay

at my feet some day.

But I never knew you

would be so foolish..

..to squander all your wealth

and become a beggar.

So what if I don't have

wealth any more?

These hands.. these

arms are the same..

..in which you desired

to spend all your life.

Come. These hands are still

ready to hug you. Come on.

Stay away!

I was crazy then.

And now you are crazy that

you still dream of me.

I am not dreaming of you.

Rather, I've woken from dreams..

..and am seeing your real self.

Go.. go.. I free you today.

You've opened my eyes.

You've shown me that money is

the greatest power on earth.

Money.. and only money!

But how shall this passion for

money be wiped from sir's mind?

My dear, a woman who loves

whole heartedly..

..can make his man forget

even the prostitutes.

Can't you make sir forget

his obsession for money?

You are right, Imarti. I was

off the path of my duty.

Have faith in me.

Till I get off this obsession

of money from sir's mind..

..and make him fall in love

with me, I will follow his orders.

I will fulfill all his wishes.

Be seated.

Sit down.

Rajmata is calling you.

Only you, sir.

- Please, sit down, princess.

C'mon.

Please, go with her.

Oh! Welcome.

Is your name Rajkumar (prince)?

Yes, that's my name, but

I'm not a real prince.

Who are you? - I am the

minister of this kingdom.

I received your letter. And

read it out to Rajmata.

She wants to ask

you a few points.

You didn't write anything about

yourself in the letter.

Who are you? Where do you live?

You might have heard about

king Ramsingh of Jidhongir.

Yes, I recall it.

Ramsingh had a small empire,

but his fame was wide spread.

I am his son, Rajkumar Singh.

I own a business in Mumbai.

And the girl, who you think

is princess Ratna..

..where did you meet her?

With your family enemy,

goon Tejasingh.

That sinner is still alive?

No more, Rajmata.

On the 3rd of this

month of Phagun..

..at 2 o'clock in the night..

..he got freedom from

his criminal life.

I see. But dealing in Mumbai..

..how did you reach the

valley of Chambal?

Perhaps you don't know, Mr.

Diwan, but Rajmata knows it well.

That my father and Tejasingh

were close friends.

If Tejasingh was alive, why did

he let princess Ratna live?

He had vowed to ruin Taragadh.

I find your story a bit unreal.

I haven't come here to take

favor from you, Mr. Diwan.

Rather, I've come to do a favor

to you out of humanity.

So watch your words.

- You mind your language!

Mr. Diwan!

You still haven't answered

my question.

If this girl was in the

custody of Tejasingh..

..how come she's alive?

Tejasingh was not a

professional goon.

He had a big empire of his own.

Forgive me for being

rude, Rajmata.

Your son, Himmat Singh, had

taken over his kingdom.

After revenging for that,

when he realized his sin..

..he looked after princess

Ratna just like his daughter.

He arranged for her education

in the valley of Chambal.

And when he was about to die..

..his caring for the princess

did not let him die.

Perhaps he thought of me then.

When I reached him,

he was dying.

Before dying he handed me

this responsibility..

..of getting the

princess to you.

Where is that girl? - In the

room outside, waiting to hug you.

If you allow, shall

I present her?

No! No, we've deceived

many a times.

I need some time to think over.

You will have to wait till

I decide something.

You will stay here

as the royal guest.

Please, let me know your

decision at the soonest.

Mr. Diwan, forgive me if

I've made some mistake.

Mr. Diwan, once again there is

turbulence in my heart and mind.

I don't know what to do.

I am in the same state, Rajmata.

My mind says that

this is impossible.

But my heart says, what if she

is really princess Ratna?

Mr. Diwan, I think we should

gather the people..

..who had seen Ratna in her

childhood and were close to her.

You, Dr. Nigam, the royal

priest, Juman Khan..

..tell every one to look

at that girl closely.

And then decide on it.

After every one decides, l

will declare my decision.

Welcome!

Mr. Diwan, what impolite people

have you gathered here?

They don't even stand up

to greet princess Ratna!

Please, sit down.

- Thank you, Highness.

Mr. Diwan, Rajmata doubts

my being Ratna.

So she won't come

down to meet me.

But I am sure I am

her grand daughter.

So present these flowers

to her on my behalf.

Padmini, take these

flowers to Rajmata.

Good morning, every body.

- Good morning.

You can freely ask me whatever

questions you want to ask.

l can pass through any test to

see a glimpse of my granny.

Hey! Juman Khan! You?

Why are you standing there?

Forgive me: I didn't see you.

I am alive today because of you.

I remember the whole incident.

How you tried to save

my late father!

Didn't you recognize me either?

How can that be, princess? Your

picture is carved in my eyes.

Juman Khan, sit down.

Child! Can I ask you a question?

Guruji, I won't mind it at all.

So, my question is..

But.. before that you will

have to answer my question.

Don't you remember

that you used to..

..call me Rutva when I was

a kid, and not child?

I remember that.

Priest, if you don't want to

call me with my pet name..

..call me with my real name.

All right. So, Ms. Ratna,

you might recall that..

..once your clothes were on

fire with the temple lamp.

That wasn't an accident.

The fire was stirred up due

to the pranks of Pratap.

My leg was burnt.

And Dr. Nigam had given

me some injection.

So, Dr. Nigam, do you

recall it? - Yes, yes.

But what surprises me is that..

..how do you remember your

childhood incidents so well.

Because I had nothing except

these memories to live on.

My memory of my childhood

was so alive..

..that every one used

to get amazed.

You can ask the tales

of my memory..

..to my English teacher,

Mr. Wilson.

Right, Mr. Wilson? How do

you do? - How do you do?

I am very happy to meet you

once again. - Thank you.

I never expected you would

recognize an old man like me.

Why not?

I'm impressed by you.

You've learnt every

lesson by heart.

To the extent that you didn't

forget to remember me.

How can I forget you?

You are that Mr. Pratap

whom I used to call..

..'Pattu' out of love and

'Diwan's boy' out of anger.

And when you used to call me

Ratna instead of princess..

..you were scolded.

Once your father, Mr. Diwan,

had also slapped you.

Right, Mr. Diwan?

These are matters which every

one in this palace knows.

Tell me which was

that wild animal..

..in the kingdom you were

not allowed to go near.

Father stopped me from

coming near you only!

Princess, that was

the mad elephant..

..Mangal, in the royal palace.

It is still alive, and

all of them know him.

You couldn't pass a day

without seeing him.

For that your father appointed

special servants who would..

..keep an eye on you and

wouldn't let you go near him.

So, father.. isn't that true?

- Very true.

This.. this one I don't recall.

Ok, you must recollect where

that dates tree is..

..from which we used to

eat the dates secretly.

From which well did we

used to catch frogs?

I told you..

..I don't remember such trifle

incidents of childhood.

Oh! But people used to be

amazed at your memory.

Ask Mr. Wilson about the

tales of your memory.

Shall I tell you why you don't

remember these small points?

Because you are not princess

Ratna, but some imposter.

You want to play with the

emotions of Rajmata..

..and seize the wealth

of this kingdom.

This is false! I am

not greedy of wealth.

I don't care a damn

for this empire.

What are you waiting for? Just

kick it off and get out of here.

I won't go. I will not go

without meeting my granny. Never!

Never!

Hey girl!

What is this drama

you're playing?

Granny!

- Don't call me that.

Mr. Diwan, she might

be a fraud..

..but she's come as a

portrayal of my Ratna.

Give her in the name of

Ratna whatever she wants.

What do you want?

That's it! I've got what l

wanted. I wanted to see you once.

Now let me touch your feet.

- Don't you dare touch me!

Back off!

Mr. Diwan, offer her some

charity in the name of Ratna..

..and show her the way

out of the empire.

Keep your empire and

prize to yourself.

And here's the payment

of your hospitality.

Distribute whatever remains

from that to your servants.

Rajkumar! - Rajmata, all

of them are cheaters.

They want to prove the

princess false..

..as they want to

rob your kingdom.

But remember this. You will

cry on your bad luck one day.

C'mon, princess.

Wait, Rajkumar.

What is happening to you?

- Nothing.

Why are you coughing so badly?

You were ok a few minutes back.

Don't worry.

When I feel overwhelmed..

I start coughing.

How long have you

had this ailment?

Yes? Since childhood.

Rajmata!

Doctor, it's been so many days.

Why isn't this cough cured?

She has an unusual allergy,

called psycho cough.

It gets cured on its

own with growing age.

Ratna!

Granny! - Ratna! My

dear Ratna. My child.

Hail princess Ratna!

Praise princess Ratna!

May princess live long!

Hey! She seems to be our Shanno.

Speak softly! If someone hears

that, we'll be killed.

You've gone mad. I tell

you she is Shanno.

Don't forget the duty of your

love in this palace, Shanno.

What were you talking

to yourself?

You haven't got over the habit

of following someone secretly.

I cannot get over

the things I love.

No matter if it's a

bad childhood habit.

Seeing their love today,

I recall their childhood.

Do you recall it?

- Yes.

Perhaps you were going

to meet Rajmata.

No, I've come at your service

after meeting her.

Where is she? Is she praying

in the temple?

No, she's left worshipping

goddesses..

..and has started

worshipping you.

She's given an off

to all cooks..

..and is preparing the

breakfast for you.

I thought I would

ask you about..

..my punishment in the

meanwhile. - Punishment?

Yes, after waiting for

you all my life..

..my eyes couldn't

recognize you.

What is my punishment for that?

The punishment for

your eyes is that..

..they should never look at me.

Have a bit of a mercy on me.

Change this punishment, and

sentence me to death instead.

How long will you chat? C'mon,

the breakfast is getting cold.

Come, Rajmata.

- Called me Rajmata again?

I won't talk to you. Pratap,

tell her..

..that I won't give her food.

I will let you go hungry all

day. - Ok, I will fast.

To hell with fasting. C'mon.

I've cooked all recipes myself.

- Come.

Come, child. You must

be very hungry.

We're late for the breakfast.

Sit down.

So much food? Are some

guests coming over?

Eat quietly whatever

is presented.

I have a bad headache.

I entered the kitchen

today after 12 years.

And I find there isn't anything

proper to cook.

There was no food or vessels. As

though the kitchen was robbed.

I've managed with whatever

was available.

But I scolded the

head cook badly.

Don't worry: every thing will

be ok by the afternoon.

You, too, sit down. Here.

Your Highness, Mr. Rajkumar

seeks your permission to meet you.

He's come at the right time.

Go and call him in.

Why are you looking at me?

Never make him wait.

Whenever he comes, bring

him straight to me.

Don't know what purpose

he's come here for.

I think he must have come to

ask your permission to go back.

Who can dare to go

from here so soon?

My dear child hasn't got the

official recognition yet.

Hallo, Pratap.

- Welcome, Rajkumar.

Greetings, Rajmata. - Live

long, my child. Live long.

Listen: a guest can arrive

at his own wish..

..but can leave only

when the host wishes.

Rajmata, I've just

packed my bags.

But I've so much work with you.

I want to talk to you.

Sit down and have breakfast.

Rajmata, you are elder:

l cannot refuse you.

But I had breakfast just now.

Please, be seated.

Fasting today for what?

- Sit down first: I'll tell you.

Today not only my fasting

day has started.

A new fasting year has started.

When my dear child was lost..

..and enemies said bad things

about that, I had vowed that..

..the day she is found, I will

start fasting for a year.

Hey! Why aren't you

eating anything?

Here, take this 'Navaratna

Paratha'.

You haven't even tasted

this milk sweet. Have it.

How shall I eat all this?

- I'll tell you how.

Rajratan, where is the royal

sweetmeat of milk fat?

It's getting ready,

Your Highness.

Still getting ready?

If my child goes without eating

it, it will be useless.

This lethargy won't do.

Find yourself a new job.

Let me also see

the preparations.

Child, be seated.

I'll be right back.

You've given a new

life to Rajmata.

This is.. the kindness

of Mr. Rajkumar.

You are right.

To tell you the truth, if we

give away this entire empire..

..to you for what you've done,

it won't be enough.

Think before you say anything,

Mr. Pratap.

It is said that the

deities sometimes..

..fulfill the wishes

said as a joke.

No, Rajkumar..

Why do you bother, princess?

I am not joking, Mr. Rajkumar.

I am telling the truth.

This kingdom cannot repay

your favor. With Rajmata..

Pay less attention to

food and drinking.

Concentrate on your real task.

Win over Rajmata's trust..

..and gain the keys to royal

treasury from her.

Win over Rajmata's trust..

..and gain the keys to royal

treasury from her.

Win over Rajmata's trust..

..and gain the keys to royal

treasury from her.

You?

What are you doing?

Watching you to my heart's

content. What else?

Go to sleep.

- But I had put you to bed..

Don't worry about my sleep.

l sleep very little.

When you were not here, I

couldn't sleep as I was anxious.

Now that you've come, l

can't sleep out of joy.

And I am a bit scared of sleep.

If I never wake up, how

will I see you happy?

Once I get you married, I will

sleep soundly for good.

I will never wake up then.

- Rajmata!

What? You called

me Rajmata again?

Let go of me. I won't

talk to you. Leave me.

If you lose courage half way..

..how will you reach

your destination?

You have a long way to go yet.

He will never change, Imarti.

I've done a big mistake.

Get this point. Crying

like this won't work.

You will have to show

some miracle.

I mean you will have to

make him feel jealous.

Only then you can move ahead.

I won't go out of your way till

you decide my fate today.

Get this point. Crying

like this won't work.

You will have to show

some miracle.

I mean you will have to

make him feel jealous.

Only then you can move ahead.

Our fates were decided

the same day..

..l returned here

after 12 years.

And you thought me to

be some imposter.

That means your love is

false and pretentious.

It was my true love, Ratna,

that I couldn't recognize you.

Your childhood picture was

so carved in my heart..

..that I couldn't recognize this

new, youthful picture of yours.

And I had come here with

this faith that..

..the whole world might

not recognize me..

..but my Pratap will be

overjoyed to see me.

He will come running

and will hug me.

Truly, Ratna?

Were you eager to see me after

a separation of 12 years?

Yes, you think I've come here..

..to gain this empire

of stone and cement?

This palace is like graveyard

for those who lose their love.

Enough, Ratna! Or my heart

will tear apart.

Ratna, allow me to

hug you today..

..and repent for

all my mistakes.

Forgive me, Ratna.

What are you doing?

Someone might see us.

Sir, why have you

called for the car?

Shall I get you the meal fast

if you're going somewhere?

Put the meal in the car. I want

to go to the water palace.

Water palace? I will

also come along.

I will feed you on the way..

..and will also pay

respects to goddess.

I've heard that some miracles

still happen there.

Yes, miracles happen. - Really?

Get ready then. - Fine.

Hallo. - This is Imarti

speaking. - Imarti?

Sir is going to water

palace right now.

Water palace? - I will signal

you by playing the horn twice.

This seems to be Pratap's car.

What is he doing here?

Must have come with some girl.

- Really?

Let us watch the fun.

What happened?

- Pressed by mistake.

'It's so much fun.'

'Our eyes are talking. Our

desires are burning.'

'It's so much fun.'

'Our eyes are talking. Our

desires are burning.'

'It's so much fun.'

'Earlier I had some complaints

against you.'

'That's why I didn't meet you.'

'Earlier I had some complaints

against you.'

'That's why I didn't meet you.'

'The season is changing.

I am changing, too.'

'Our wishes are blossoming.'

'It's so much fun.'

'Our eyes are talking. Our

desires are burning.'

'It's so much fun.'

'After settling in your eyes

and on this path of love.'

'After settling in your eyes

and on this path of love.'

'I sometimes balance, and

sometimes fall down.'

'Our wishes are blossoming.'

'It's so much fun.'

'Our eyes are talking. Our

desires are burning.'

'It's so much fun.'

Congratulations, Rajmata.

The government has granted

permission..

..to the princess to become

the official heiress.

Jagdamba! It's your mercy!

Mr. Diwan, you've fulfilled

your duty.

Send the royal priest to me.

And order all the officers

of the palace..

..to arrange for a celebration.

I want to see such a

celebration in this palace..

..after seeing which God

would show me his heaven.

As you order, Rajmata.

C'mon. Quick.

This way. Very good. Good.

Father! Forgive me, father.

I want to tell you something

important in privacy.

Pratap, you've gone mad.

How can I leave the

preparations for celebration?

Perhaps the news I've got

will stop this celebration.

Come.

Will you tell me what

the matter is?

The matter is not to be told,

but to be shown. Come on.

What's going on here?

Salaam, sir.

- Salaam, sir.

Who are these people?

Ask them yourself.

Tell him who you are.

- Tell him: don't be afraid.

Sir, we are no one. We

are simple acrobats.

We are your servants, sir.

We are very grateful that

you made our girl, Shanno..

..a princess of

the royal palace.

Shanno? Princess? What rubbish

are you talking?

We've not come to take

back Shanno, sir.

We've come only to

ask for your mercy.

The matter is.. since our

Shanno has gone away..

..we've been in a bad state:

we've become beggars.

We are dying of hunger, sir.

You mean the princess is your

daughter, Shanno? - Yes, yes.

Himmatsingh! Bahadursingh!

Take away these mad people.

- No, sir.

Lock them in jail. - Have mercy,

sir. We don't want any thing.

We don't want anything from you.

Who are these wicked people?

Where did you get them at

this sensitive occasion?

Father, these wicked people..

..are the real parents

of the false princess.

And to send them to jail

without hearing their story..

..can only mean that you, too,

with Raja know very well..

..that this princess

is an imposter.

Yes, father, I know every thing.

But the involvement of Raja in

your plan can be your weak point.

It can ruin your

plan any moment.

When you know so much,

mister, you might..

..also be knowing that I am

doing this for your welfare.

But, father, this plan will

work for my welfare..

..only if you remove Raja

out of my way for good.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

attention please.

Please, be seated

at your places.

The auspicious moment

has come when Rajmata..

..with the government

permission is going to..

..coronate princess Ratna on

the royal throne of Taragadh.

And according to the

years old tradition..

..she will make princess the

owner of the royal treasury..

..and will hand her the

treasure key herself.

Here, child. It is your trust.

Ladies and Gentlemen..

..now Her Highness of Taragadh..

..wants to announce an

important order to you all.

This is the moment for

which I've been alive.

I don't have the right words

to express my joy.

I only want to say that..

..today I want to free myself

from my last duty.

I want to hand over the royal

throne to your new princess..

..and want to get her married.

So I've fixed her marriage with

Pratap, the son of Mr. Diwan.

'Congratulations to

you for this day.'

'Congratulations to

you for this day.'

'The moment of doom has come.'

'My eyes are filled

with tears of joy.'

'Congratulations to

you for this day.'

'Congratulations to

you for this day.'

'The moment of doom has come.'

'My eyes are filled

with tears of joy.'

'Congratulations to

you for this day.'

'Wait a bit. Won't you see

this drama of mine?'

'Wait a bit. Won't you see

this drama of mine?'

'Why do you turn away? Won't

you see this scene?'

'Somewhere some hearts

are broken.'

'Somewhere the clarinets

are played.'

'Congratulations to

you for this day.'

'The moment of doom has come.'

'My eyes are filled

with tears of joy.'

'Congratulations to

you for this day.'

'I won't say that it is you

who broke the promise.'

'I won't say that it is you

who broke the promise.'

'But o companion, the place

where you left my company..'

'Is it a road or the

destination? I couldn't get it.'

'Congratulations to

you for this day.'

'The moment of doom has come.'

'My eyes are filled

with tears of joy.'

'Congratulations to

you for this day.'

'Congratulations to

you for this day.'

'Congratulations to

you for this day.'

Can I come in?

Today I've completed your

orders. See this.

Now you will surely allow me

to come near you, won't you?

I'm so silly! Why do I need

anyone's permission now?

I have really become

princess Ratna now.

I am the master of this

kingdom, this palace and house.

Oh yes! Here, take your trust.

The key to the treasure.

After teaching me manners

and etiquette..

..have you forgotten

them yourself?

When a lady enters, a

man should stand up.

Forgive me, princess.

Today was such a joyful day..

..I've drunk a bit too much.

If I can come back

to my senses..

..I will stand up

to welcome you.

You are right. Such an

auspicious day won't be back.

I am not drunk, but I feel

the whole world is dancing.

But why did you leave the

celebration and come here?

You didn't even congratulate

me for the wedding.

Whatever I've got in this

life is your mercy.

You made a mere street dancer

a damsel of heavens.

See this. Diamonds and rubies

worth 2.5 lakhs..

..are studded only

in my clothes!

If I get a 100 lives again,

I won't be..

..able to repay your favors.

I had come to bow to you and

ask your permission to leave.

I have a request.

You won't go from here before

getting me married.

Promise me that.

We will talk about

promises later.

First tell me who decided

upon this marriage?

Why should you care about that?

Who else will care about

your wedding if not me?

Whatever you've got

till now is my mercy.

That old account of

ours is settled now.

I've got you the pleasures of

life that you wanted from me.

Here.

Now I am the master of my wish.

I love Pratap, and I am

marrying him at my wish.

I was also under that

impression, but that is false.

No, it is true. It is true.

I love Pratap.

Shanno, answer me straight.

Who has attacked on my back?

Say that Pratap and his father

have cheated me. - Let go of me.

Do not touch.

Now I am nobody of yours.

You have no right on me.

I have no right.

Raja!

Shanno.

- Raja!

Shanno, you are my life.

You are some virtue

of my past life..

..who has come to improve

this life of mine.

Your love is the greatest

wealth for me.

Then leave this sinful world

of money for Shanno.

There can be no greater

wealth than love.

Raja, take Shanno

to some place..

..where we won't be separated.

Raja, I will be choked

here. Get me out..

..of here today, right now.

Yes, Shanno, but it is difficult

for us to leave together.

Do this. Get back to the palace.

I will come to the backdoor

of the palace by car.

You come over there.

- I am scared, Raja.

Don't part me from you now.

Hurry up, Shanno.

Our fate is going to be decided

in these few moments.

Raja!

Shanno, we are running short

of time. Go quickly.

What are you getting

ready for, partner?

What do you intend to do?

My intentions are always

dangerous, partner.

That's why I always stay alert.

See, I've come on the right

time. Or I wouldn't have met you.

But where are you planning

to go at this late hour?

I was just coming to meet you.

To clear our accounts.

That is a family matter.

We can clear it any time.

Today is a night of celebration.

But I see you're a bit upset.

I am always in a good mood.

But you are really lucky.

Mr. Diwan, you've really

got a new life.

So we will surely celebrate

for your safety. - New life?

And in this new life, I've

become the father in law..

..of Taragadh from its

accountant. Right?

It is a long matter, and

I have very little time.

Yet I will drink with

you for the last time..

..and explain you the matter.

Partner, you know that..

..in this world of honest

people and money lenders..

..honesty has remained only

with thieves like us.

So the consequence of dishonesty

in our world is very bad.

You are saying the same matter

I had come to explain you.

That means you have understood

your end very well.

The end of every human

is death, partner.

But my problem is that I

will have stay alive now.

I had been playing

with the life of..

..an innocent girl for

my greed of money.

I've lost my life to her love.

Otherwise I had decided..

..to kill you both cheaters

tonight and surrender to law.

Don't lose your senses like a

gambler who has lost the game.

Your plan has over turned.

But I can still forgive you

and provide you for life.

That girl worth two pennies..

Dog! Don't insult the girl..

..because of whose love

you are alive till date.

Now if you try and scream,

I will kill you.

Hands up!

One shouldn't mess

with a crocodile..

..if one wants to live in water.

I am a dog?

My name is Diwan Gajendrasingh.

You're still a child.

Say cheers!

C'mon, Raja.

You've come?

Come on. Come on. - Let go of

me. You scoundrel! Let go.

Come on. - Let go of me.

You scoundrel! Let go.

Come in, princess. I've got you

here to let you meet your Raja.

Look there.

See?

Mr. Diwan, forgive Raja.

I am your criminal.

Do not punish him.

If you want to take life,

take mine. Let him go.

l beg of you. - No, no.. why do

you embarrass me, princess?

I am your servant.

And Raja's life or death

is in your hands now.

In my hands? - Yes, if you want

Raja to live, you will..

..have to continue being the

princess and marry Pratap.

No, Shanno, don't ruin

your life for me.

Mansingh!

No, no! Don't take Raja's life.

I agree to all your conditions.

I will kill these dogs.

- Shut up!

Stop blabbering or I will

cut off your tongue.

You, too, listen carefully. lf

you say a word against me..

..that word will become the

order to Raja's death. Got it?

No, child, no. Behave yourself.

She is our princess.

Princess, we don't have much

time. Go back to the palace.

It is necessary that you reach

back before Rajmata wakes up.

Come. Please, come.

Who?

- It's me.

I've come to put

the jug of water.

Revered madam, I had not

come to deceive you..

..but rather to save

you from deception.

This cruel world had turned

a human into a demon.

But my heart considered

him as my lord.

He had come to rob your wealth..

..by presenting me as

your grandchild, Ratna.

And I had come to

fulfill my duty..

..by bringing him back

on the right path.

Staying under the shadow

of a goddess like you..

..my wish is fulfilled.

I am going back.

Your sinful devotee, Shanno.

Ratna! Ratna!

What's the hurry, eh?

No, no!

Go to your room.

Shanno, now is the moment

of your true test.

Now you are to save the

life of your Raja..

..and also protect the trust

of that holy madam.

Why are you so sad on such

an auspicious day, child?

Child, you don't look happy.

You're surely hiding

something from me.

Look at me. Tell me

what the matter is.

Tell me frankly.

You are under my oath.

Granny, I think you've

forgotten to give a prize..

..to the one who's brought

so much joy to the palace.

But swear on me that you

won't tell him my name.

Or he'll feel bad.

Don't worry about what I

am to do or not to do.

Tell me truly, are you happy

with this marriage or not?

If you lie, you

will see me dead.

Granny!

Yes, Your Highness,

tell us the truth.

We've been serving your family

for 7 generations now..

..and we consider it our duty

to give our life for your joy.

Now convince Rajmata

in front of me..

..that you are happy

with this marriage.

Granny, I am happy.

I am very happy.

Mr. Diwan, where is Rajkumar?

Haven't seen him for long.

We will start the ceremony

only after he comes.

His presence is very important.

Yes.. yes.. as you order.

Himmatsingh!

The princess and Rajmata

are calling Mr. Rajkumar.

Tell him to come in.

Yes sir.

Sir, Mr. Rajkumar is here.

Greetings, Rajmata.

- Come, Rajkumar.

Why are you away from us

in these moments of joy?

We've received this happiness

because of you, and you're away?

Look, Mr. Diwan, don't let him

go out of palace for a minute.

Arrange for him to stay here.

I have much work with him.

As you order, Your Highness.

Every one is eager

for the ceremony.

Please, come.

Who?

- It's me.

Who me? Tell me the name.

It's me, Raja. Your Shanno.

Open the door.

I don't understand

how they freed you.

I am unable to believe that

it's really you standing here.

What trick are they playing?

Why don't you answer? Why

don't you speak, Raja?

No, no.

You are not Raja.

Who are you?

Go straight back to

your room, princess!

Let go of me, you scoundrel.

Don't try and play some

game with Mr. Diwan.

You don't yet know Mr. Diwan.

He had prepared me even before

he called Raja here.

And remember this: I will

be watching you..

..all the time in the palace.

Water! Water!

Here, drink water.

Let go of him.

What have you done?

Mr. Diwan had said that

this man should..

..remain alive till the

princess got married.

Open the door quickly.

- Why would I let him die?

Hey!

Sir!

Punno!

Have courage, Punno.

C'mon, let's go from

here quickly.

C'mon, Punno. Have courage.

Hurry up.

Wait!

Stop!

Kherati! I think

I won't live now.

This is the punishment

of my sins.

Go to Rajmata fast

and inform her..

..that Shanno is the

real princess.

What? So Shanno is

not your daughter?

No.. no.. that's what we tried

to tell Diwan many times.

Sir! Have mercy!

We are telling the truth, sir.

We haven't met anyone.

We haven't told anything to

any one. We swear on God.

Yes, sir. That girl

is not our daughter.

She's not your daughter?

- No.

Then whose daughter is she?

We've not been able to

know that till date.

That's why we've safely kept..

..her childhood clothes

and amulets till now.

Here, sir. See this.

- See this.

This one.

And.. here's the amulet.

These clothes and amulet are of

Ratna. When had you found her?

12 years back.

We were going on some business

at the Kumbha fair.

We saw a girl being carried

away in a river. So we saved her.

Yes, she was unconscious.

When she regained

consciousness..

..she could not recollect

her name or address.

We brought her up as our child.

That's our only fault.

And.. I've got this punishment

instead of a prize.

Punno! Punno!

There they are.

Imarti, you both get out of

here through the jungle.

I will handle them.

This is Rajmata's room.

Kamalsingh, I'll be

back in a while.

Look after Rajmata, and

don't let anyone go in.

Who are you?

Raja, bless you.

Rajmata has especially called

me here to bless you.

Rajmata told me that all this

was possible because of you.

Rajmata?

Sage, what is your name?

Child, do sages have names?

But if you still want to know,

my name is Raja.

Who is it? - It's me, Lalsingh.

Mr. Jalimsingh, open the door.

There's some bad news.

What happened?

- A terrible thing has happened.

lnform Mr. Diwan that Raja

has escaped from the jail.

Really? Go back to your place.

I will inform him right now.

- Ok.

Terrible news, Mr. Diwan!

Raja has escaped.

He can enter the

palace any time.

How could he escape? Where were

our guards, you rascal?

You don't need to be tensed,

father. Don't worry.

The whole palace is in the

custody of our guards.

If he dares step in, he

will call on his death.

The princess and Rajmata are

both locked in their rooms.

Take out all the treasure from..

..the royal treasury

and take it over.

Jalimsingh, I had ordered you..

..not to leave Rajmata

for a minute.

Go there now! - Sir, it was

necessary to inform you..

Go now!

Father!

Yes, there.

That is the royal treasure!

- Pratap, give the keys to me.

Let me open the treasure

doors myself.

Let me fulfill this

wish of my life.

Ok, father, ok. You

open the door.

This is a bogus key. This girl

is a cheater. - Cheater? - Yes.

Where is the real key?

- Tell us.

Diwan!

The real key is with me.

That is not the key to

the royal treasure.

It is the key to disclose..

..the dishonesty of

the royal officers.

l suspected that..

..Ratna was trapped in the

net of some traitors.

But I never expected

that those traitors..

..would be you father and son.

Ok, now that you've known the

truth, give us the real keys.

Stay away! Don't think I'll

be scared of dogs like you.

Beware! Come back to your

senses, old woman!

Your life or death

is in our hands.

If you care for your life,

give me the key.

Arrest these two traitors.

Why are you looking at me?

Didn't you hear what I ordered?

Oldie, do you now realize who is

the real master of your estate?

Listen, old woman. lf

you don't want to see..

..your grand daughter dead,

give us the real key.

Rajmata, don't give the

key to this murderer.

I am not your real Ratna.

I am also a cheater like these

sinners. Let me die.

That will be my punishment.

Let me die.

The grand daughter for whom..

..you were guarding the

treasure is also false.

Your grand daughter is dead.

Even if God comes and

tells me that Ratna..

..is not my grand daughter,

I won't believe it.

My belief cannot cheat me.

l can give away all

my wealth for Ratna.

Here, take the keys.

Rob the treasure.

But don't touch my dear Ratna

with your dirty hands.

Boy! O Boy! Our life long

mission is fulfilled!

It's all ours!

Rob it!

Jalimsingh!

- Here's your Jalimsingh.

I am Insaafsingh, partner.

Beware!

So, Diwan, where

have you hidden..

..the evidences that prove her

to be the real princess?

So your death has

dragged you here?

No, Pratap!

Don't give him such

an easy death.

Dare confront us?

Peel off his skin, father.

Now I will decide your fate.

Shoot him, Pratap.

This will be better for you.

Bastards! Throw away the swords!

Pratap!

I will kill you.

See the result of the greed for

money which had blinded you.

Open the door, Rajmata.

I am Juman Khan.

What are you still waiting for

after killing your own son?

It's not too late. Bow down to

Rajmata and repent for your sins.

Now tell Rajmata that you've

been cheating her..

..by hiding the real evidences.

Yes, Rajmata, she is

the real princess.

Forgive me.

Rajmata, I had promised you

that if you give me some time..

..I will peel off the skin of

these two traitors for you.

Now these sinners

are at your feet.

Princess, God has got you

to your destination.

May you be happy!

Rajmata, this sinner

wants to bow down..

..and receive his punishment.

Don't touch..

No, Raja, you've done no sin.

You are not a sinner.

You are the lord of my Ratna.

She told me everything

in that letter.

That is why I trusted you and

let you sit in the royal treasury.

'Dear, o dear.'

'Come fast and meet me:

our youth is passing by.'

'Dear, o dear.'

'Come fast and meet me:
