103.. The fever is increasing.

Call for these medicines

and injections.

The child's condition

is critical. - Doctor.

As soon as the medicines are here

bring the child to my clinic.

I'll be there till 12 o'clock.

These medicines

are very necessary.

Mother.. Mother.. - My child.

Mother.. - I'm here, my child.

Sir. - Do you want

to leave the job?

No, no, Sir. Please forgive me.

My child is unwell.

That is why I could not come.

His life is in danger.

I need some money.

I have to buy

medicines immediately..

...and take him to the doctor.

You haven't come to work for

two days and over..

... and above that,

you ask for money?

I beg of you, Sir.

Please forgive me.

Deduct it from my salary.

I will never forget this favor.

Look, Janaki.

This is a world of give and take.

I'll help you.

What will you do for me?

I!? - Yes, you.

You want money? I have plenty.

And what I want,

you have it in plenty.

Beauty..

Youth..

Sir?

I have wanted to tell you

for the past three days.

I got a chance only today.

You make me happy

... and you can turn into

a queen from a servant.

Sir.

Your child's life

is in danger. Take this.

Do you understand

why I am helping you?

Today evening,

at exactly 5 o'clock,

... my driver will come to

pick you up. Be ready.

And listen.

So far, no one has

betrayed me and got away.

Let him sleep in peace.

Now, there is no worry.

The fever is down. This is the

beneficial effect of medicines.

Munna will be absolutely

fine in few days.

All right. May I leave?

- Namaste, doctor.

My son. My Munna.

My love is fine now.

Absolutely fine,

aren't you, son?

Master has sent me.

He is waiting downstairs.

Downstairs?

You go. I'll get ready and

be there in a little while.

She is coming.

Mother?

Child. I am near you, son.

Go to sleep. I am near you.

Go to sleep.

What is the matter, after all?

She should have been here by now.

Sir, may I go again?

No. I'll go myself.

Mother!.. Mother!

Rascal, you are eating bread?

You're stealing? Catch him!

Hit him. Catch him.

Hold him. Where is he?

When the darkness falls..

after midnight.

...A thief comes out..

on the black road.

...this voice can be heard.

Thief, thief, thief..

When people are sleeping

peacefully in closed rooms.

He keeps awake, runs

all night, the locks break..

...when it is morning. Ya!

Who is it?

They don't even let you sleep.

They come only at night.

Coming, coming.

Oh, Raja? - Lala.

So late at night?

My job is only at night, Lala.

Come in the morning.

I don't leave home

in the morning.

The police is chasing me

...and I don't want them

to chase you, too, Lala.

Police!? - Yes.

What a bother!

Yes. - Take this, Lala.

Take the goods and give the cash.

You always bring good things.

- That's true, Lala.

Here, take this.

What is this, Lala?

Only 5 leaves?

That is only for you.

I give only 300 to others.

There is a lot of danger.

There have been raids

in quite a few shops.

Yes, Lala.

You know I am

a thief, Lala? - Yes.

If I want to, I can clean

up that safe of yours.

Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord.

Oh, Lord. Now ask me

why I don't do it. - Why?

Lala, even thieves

have principles.

A thief never steals from

another thief's house.

So! I am also a thief?

No, Lala, I am a thief.

You are something special.

Hail Shri Rama, Lala.

He took that too!

He is a real big thief.

Tony! Hey, Tony.

Raja. I mean, king of thieves.

Welcome, welcome.

Lucky dog. Who bit you?

- A stone, pal.

She hit you with a piece of stone?

Seems to be a dangerous girl..

...dangerous girl.

She stoned you?

Tony, you can't seem to think

of anything but girls and liquor.

What else will

I talk about, man?

There are only three friends.

The first is you.

Then is my bottle of Feni,

from Goa, very pure. What?

And third is

my girl friend, Mary.

She is also from Goa.

Very pure, very pure. Correct?

You are something special.

What man?

You are calling my Mary names?

Not Mary. You. - Why?

Have you earned

a single paise this week?

What can I do, man?

My heart is very sad.

I haven't received a

letter from Mary for a week.

I don't feel like picking a pocket.

What can I do?

I steal and earn money

and you drink and lie around.

This won't do.

You will have to do something

if you want to stay with me.

I will do it. I will.

I'll pray for you.

God, keep my Raja free.

Keep him out of jails..

...not inside them.

Okay? Thank you, God.

Oh! Pray that dark clouds

cover the moon tonight.

The rascal comes out

when it is time for business.

You know this God does a

lot of mischief with the poor.

Raja, that he does

but even humans do it.

How many times they

have been to the moon..

...and how much money

have they wasted?

They could well have switched

the lights off when there.

Tony, what would happen

if you stopped having liquor?

My sleep will be gone, man.

What, Raja.

You threw away my sleep-medicine.

How will I get

into oblivion now?

Look. My Mary is in Goa and

I am young here. In this box.

Tony shut your nonsense.

It's time for business.

There might be some chance.

Certainly you'll get.

Certainly.

Tony. Hey, Tony.

Come quickly.

Why? Is it a girl?

No girl. Looks like

I'm in business today.

Yes, man. My heart says you

will get a beautiful chance today.

Tony. - Yes.

Look, I'm going.. - Yes.

- You do something.. - Yes.

Don't drink liquor. Okay?

- No, man, Never, never. - Correct?

Bye-bye, Raja. All the best.

God bless you, my dear.

When the darkness falls..

after midnight.

A thief comes out..

on the black road.

...this voice can be heard.

Hello. - Anita, darling, I am

caught in an important meeting.

I shall come late.

You have dinner and go to bed.

Shut up. I have heard

these excuses before.

Ravi, I know very well what kind

of a meeting you are caught in.

Why don't you understand.

Some important delegates

have come from abroad and..

...I am discussing

an important point.

Enough, Ravi.

It's finally decided today.

I will poison myself and die.

It's finished!

Oh! Hello!..

She'll have poison..

She says this every

day but never does it.

Ravi.. I hate you!

Where is that bottle

of mine? Where is it?

Today, I'll take

poison and kill myself.

I must die. All right, Ravi!

You'll see, Ravi.

You will cry a lot.

You'll regret this.

Just see. No one..

What am I seeing?

No, no, no.

This cannot be true.

But this is real.

I should be there in that pose..

But I am standing here.

Anita.. You dirty woman!

You blame me and yourself

sleep with other men.

Shameless!

Hey.. you, Mr. loafer!

What style! Shameless.

Anita, you don't know my temper.

I will count up to three.

If you don't get up, I will shoot.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight, nine..

No reaction.

There is a limit

to shamelessness. Wait.

Who set fire

to my leg, brother?

I did, brother.

Don't do it again, right?

Okay.

Anita. Hey, Anita.

Who is this? - Who?

This.. this.. - I'll ask him.

Brother! Who are you?

Who are you?

Me?.. Raja!

Raja.

There is a limit

to shamelessness.

I am the husband and

all this drama before me?

Wait. Hold on.

I will set things right.

Oh! Who's thrown

this water? - I did.

Too much. First you light

a fire and then pour water.

What are you? Man or ass?

Ass!?

You are in my house, on my bed

and sleeping with my wife,

on top of which

you are abusing me?

Anita! - Why do you shout?

Go to sleep.

You characterless woman!

- What?

Yes. You blame me and

look at what you are doing.

Shameless!

- What I am doing? - Yes.

You called me characterless?

- Yes. Characterless.

You loafer. - What?

You called me a loafer?

You stupid girl.

You called me a stupid girl?

Yes. - You..

Go, go.

You drunken donkey!

- You called me a monkey?

No one called you a monkey.

I called you a donkey.

Donkey? That's even worse.

Now, go to sleep. Go to sleep.

Okay. Good night.

- Good night, monkey.

When the darkness falls..

after midnight.

A thief comes out..

on the black road.

...this voice

can be heard.

Thief, thief, thief..

Oh! My jewellery. Oh!

Mother, mother. Come quickly.

Mother. We've been robbed.

Mother, Dad. Thief! Thief!

When the darkness falls in the

streets of the city.. after midnight.

A thief comes out..

on the black road.

...this voice

can be heard.

Thief, thief, thief..

Father, I put on the turban on

your say so, but you cannot..

...tie me down in this way.

I am going, for good.

Marriage is a question of

my whole life and I cannot..

...play with my life

just to please you.

He's something special.

Don't try to find me. Suresh.

Suresh.. Suresh.

You had come upstairs for two minutes.

After all, what is the matter?

Look, son. The bride has

reached the wedding place.

The auspicious time for

the wedding is passing away.

Now, it is a matter

of my prestige.

If you don't come out, I will

have break open the door.

Suresh. Are you listening?

What happened?

The priest wants to know why

the bridegroom hasn't come.

It will be very insulting.

I always told you, that if the boy

doesn't like it.. - Enough. Enough.

You go on downstairs,

I'll get him down. Go.

Suresh. Are you coming out

or shall I break down the door?

Son. You have agreed?

You have accepted my word?

I am very happy.

I am your father.

I will never wish you ill.

That poor girl is an orphan.

That is why, looking at her

uncle's monetary condition..

...I have also arranged for

the wedding in this house.

I firmly believe that...

...you will never regret having

gone through with this marriage.

Come. All are

waiting downstairs.

Oh! Mr. Sharma?

You have come

in uniform for the wedding?

No, Mr. advocate.

I am on duty. It's obligatory.

I was chasing a thief..

...and he disappeared

on reaching this block.

I thought there would

be a crowd at your place..

...and that

I might have a look.

Certainly, but you

have to excuse me.

The auspicious time for

the wedding is passing by.

Certainly, certainly.

- Oh, son?

What are doing there? Meet the gentleman.

This is Inspector Sharma.

He has a record that

no one has escaped him.

Today you are caught!

For the whole life. Congratulations.

Oh! Why is your

hand trembling?

The bride is shy and trembles

at the time of the wedding..

...but you are the bridegroom.

All right. Good luck.

We will meet again.

Pour the ghee.

Pour the ghee. - Pour it, son.

Stand up, please.

What a spot I am in..

Look, whatever your name is.

Nirmala. - Nirmala it is.

I have done

a terrible mistake.

I know everything.

What do you know?

You were not ready

for this marriage.

No, no. I can have

nothing to do with you.

Don't say this. Let me remain

at these feet. What is this?

Don't say anything else to me.

I will not inflict any

kind of binding on you.

Till today, I was a

burden for my uncle.

He has, now, sent me away.

If I do not get shelter

here, where will I go?

I have no interest

in your sorry tale.

What is it, daughter-in-law?

What happened, child?

What happened?

Why don't you speak?

The worst..

Suresh hasn't done well.

Had he gone before the wedding

we would have lost our prestige.

Now that he has gone

away after the wedding..

...he has ruined her life.

It would have been better

if he had.. died.

Mr. Advocate. Mr. Advocate.

Come down quickly.

What happened?

Suresh has met with an accident.

- What did you say?

Yes. He is below

in the ambulance and he..

...succumbed before

reaching the hospital.

Oh!.. - Suresh!

Sit in the car.. Sit.

I have kept in the car whatever

you had brought with you.

Mother!

We have no relation

with you after today.

Forget for ever that you

had come to our house..

...as a daughter-in-law

and don't tell anyone.

I put on you this

vow on my dead son.

What are you saying, mother?

I loath your face. You killed

my son as soon as you came.

My husband got a heart

attack and he is still critical.

You have already

deprived me of my child.

Do you want to rob me

of my husband too?

Don't throw me out, mother.

Keep me as a servant

of the house. I beg of you.

Where will I go?

Wherever you wish.

The world is a big place.

Whatever ruin we

had to face, that's done.

Now, even your

accursed shadow should..

...not fall on this place.

Driver, take her away.

Look, child. With great

difficulty we raised you..

...got you married.. Now, if your

fate is accursed, what can I do?

You keep quiet!

And you listen carefully..

...your parents did not

leave even a phony coin.

Whatever we could do,

we have done.

We aren't obliged to

look after you for life.

But.. Where will

I go on my own, Aunt?

Go to ruin. How did you dare

to even come here. Go away.

Uncle! - You, uncle's dear.

Go away from here. Get out!

Uncle's dear.

Take your things away. Shameless.

Once again the tears

rained from the eyes.

..and the dark clouds

have gathered.

Tell the writers of fate

to write another story.

Neither did anyone feel pity,

nor did anyone felt shame..

..people just laughed and

gazed at one more spectacle.

Look, the string of

another kite in the sky is cut.

Tell the writers of fate

to write another story

Once again has a plant

from the garden become the..

..dust of the mountain.

..Once again has

a wave of the Ganges..

..changed into liquor.

Once again has the

belle of the well side..

..walked the path

of the cemetery.

Tell the writers of fate

to write another story.

Where will a bird

without wings fly away?

And everywhere cruel hunters

wait with nets spread out.

In this city of thieves,

everyone loots love.

Tell the writers of fate

to write another story.

Come on.

Stop whistling.

Oh, sir. Your law can shut

one up in prison..

...but not his soul and whistling

is the voice of the soul like..

...laughing, crying.. - Silence!

Today, your sentence is over.

- That very nice to hear.

Don't talk nonsense. These are

your things. Pick them up and get out.

This time you are a bit annoyed.

Earlier you always gave

me some advice about..

...not stealing. This time..

These things are said to someone

from whom one expects improvement...

You are a born thief.

You will steal again

and get caught again.

It's not really my fault, sir.

I steal with great finesse..

...but the rascals

manage to catch me.

These policemen

are something special?

Being abusive, are you?

Sir, this is an affectionate term.

If you ask me, even you.. - Shut up!

Mr. Jailor.

There is a small problem. - What?

Your moustache on this

side is a bit smaller than the..

...moustache on that.

Which fool does the shaving?

I shave myself.

- Oh! I am dead now.

Are all your things here?

Mr. Jailer, you have pinched my knife.

- You'll not get your knife back.

Please give it. It will be

a loss of 6 or 7 Rupees.

Constable! - Constable!

Return the knife. - Push him out.

Don't touch me.

My sentence is over. I'll sue you.

Mr. Jailer, may I say something?

- What is it?

Actually, I think you have

lost your human kindness..

...after living

with thieves and cheats.

Else, I always thought this

jail was my in-laws place.

Gardener. Does this place

belong to the advocate?

It used to.

They have all left.

Left? But six months ago

his son got married.

Was that a marriage, Sir?

The same night his son died

and they sold off the house and left.

Has everyone left?

- Everyone.

Thank you gardener.

Wow! Tony has really

changed this place!

Where did he get

so much moolah.

Look at him. Drunk early in the morning.

Look, your friend is back from jail.

Looks like he is out.

Come on. Get up!

Where is Tony? Tony?

Are you Mary? Mary?

Father! Father!

What is it, child?

Who is this?

I don't know.

I was sleeping here.

He touches my body

and says if I was his.

How dare you!? Who are you?

This room is mine.

Your room?

Are you leaving or I should..

You can't throw out

an innocent man..

Get out. I break your head

if you come back.

Listen, listen.

You are something special.

Shameless.

Being abusive! Rascal!

You idiot! Why were you

sleeping with the door open?

Feel like killing you.

Salutations, uncle.

When did you get out of jail?

- This morning.

Know anything about Tony?

He's gone to Goa to get married.

He couldn't wait for me, the rascal.

He said he could not

show you his face. - Why?

He didn't have money for

drink and sold off your place..

...to another for 50 Rupees.

Uncle, make a coffin for Tony.

I am sure to find him

some place, sometime.

This liquor is a vile thing.

Such a big railway

compartment has got into a bottle.

Now, where will I stay?

Peter. - No reaction at all.

Peter, why are you using

such big nails? Use smaller nails.

It hurts the corpse.

- It hurts the corpse.

Yes, uncle.

Raja, till you get back into jail

you may sleep in my veranda.

Oh, Thank you, uncle.

Uncle, you are a first-class man.

Great man.

Uncle.. The thing is..

I'm broke.

Raja. - Yes.

May I say something?

Don't ask for money. - Why?

Business is amul nowadays.

People just seem to be dying.

What will I do?

2 months, only 75 Rupees. - Oh!

Uncle, this coffin is beautiful.

Has a rich man died?

No. You see this coffin..

this coffin? - Yes.

I am making this for myself.

I am over 60, am I not?

How long will I live making

these coffins for others?

100 years, uncle.

If one could give someone..

... the years of one's life, I would give

your 25 of mine. You know why? - Why?

Because God has stopped

making good people like you.

Raja, stop buttering me up, man.

I will not help a thief.

Now, I will go to take rest.

Funny! I am speaking the truth

and uncle says I am buttering him up.

Uncle..

Raja, you see

this coat on the wall?

There are 25 Rupees in it.

You may steal 10 Rupees from it.

Thank you, uncle..

Uncle, you are.. a good one.

Listen, you guards, remain

in your senses, my friends.

Listen, you guards, remain

in your senses, my friends.

The night sways!

He is a snake charmer.

Charming!

Thief, thief,

thief, thief.

My benefactor does not

look towards my face,

My benefactor does not

look towards my face,

he only listens to

the story of my heart..

...through the sounds

of my anklets.

Wearing a red scarf.

...with the pieces of the

heart joined together.

...abandoning all pretence at

modesty and breaking all bonds

...I have tied

these anklets

...I have tied

these anklets.

I will dance from today,

I'll die of shyness.

I will dance from today,

I'll die of shyness.

When all barriers are dropped

and when fate is uncertain

...when all

my companions have left

...and when all truths

have been found to be lies

...I have tied

these anklets.

I have traded my heart

and filled my empty coffers.

This is a night of celebration

and wealth is raining down

...there is no reason for sorrow

as I have tied these anklets.

Rani, who is this

bad-mannered guy?

Ustad, throw him out..

and tell the others also to leave.

Tonight there will

be no more dances.

Tonight I want

to be Ranibai's guest.

My profession is

only music and dance.

How much to remove

this 'only' will you take?

Tell me, my queen I'll pay

you the price you say. - Sir.

Rani, my name

is Seth Govardhandas.

I take whichever girl I like..

...and you are only an

ordinary dancing girl.

But she is still a woman.

- Rascal! Scoundrel!

Who are you to butt

in between Rani and me?

Raja. - Raja?

So, this is the matter.

Ranibai, had you told me

that you have kept a scoundrel..

...I might also have

made arrangements.

Oh, go away.

Son of a rich man.

Go and make arrangements.

Get out!

Is this for what you were

putting up with him for?

To stay alive.

I don't know whether

to thank you.. or to curse you.

Curse me.

Do you know what will be

the result of the bravado..

...that you have shown today?

People will stop coming here.

Whatever I was earning

from song and dance..

Oh! It is better

to beg for a living.

Having got tired of

hunger, I also begged..

...but the eyes of the

those who wanted to give..

...were even hungrier

than my stomach.

People always petted

these cheeks with affection..

...but I never liked it.

When you slapped me today,

I don't know why I liked it.

But why did you slap me? - I..

Do you like me? - Not at all.

- You don't like me. - Not at all.

Then why did you slap me?

I will remember

you for many days.

Oh, Raja. Quiet!

That is why I gave a start

when I heard your name.

This is my Raja.

Rani entertains kings (Rajahs)

and Raja entertains Rani.

You've never come

before to listen to my song.

You think I came here

to listen to your song?

Then? - I was out on my business

and reached here by mistake.

No, you are not of the

sorts who come here.

But who are you? Where have you

come from? Why have you come here?

I myself don't know.

My business is such..

...I have to

go anywhere, anytime.

There are

no restrictions for me.

Are you in the police?

- Around the police, somewhere. - CID?

All right, Rani.

My car has come.

But.. listen!

Strange man.

Since when is this door open?

- What's wrong?

Have you seen a stranger here?

Actually, we were chasing a thief.

He ran in and disappeared

in this building.

He is wearing blue

clothes, is good looking..

...and wears a black cap.

Not at all. I haven't seen anyone.

No one came here.

You are alone here? - Yes.

If you want to look around..

No, that won't be necessary.

He can't run away.

The police has surrounded

the building from all sides.

Come, Tukaram. Listen.

Please close the door.

Oh, my father!

This is the actress Mumtaz!

You are something special.

Who is it?

Meena.. Meena, Meena.

Yes, madam.

There was a thief here. I saw him

escape through the window just now.

Who knows what

he must have taken away.

You look there,

I'll look this way.

Mumtaz, I saw your

movie Khilona..

...and liked your work

very much. The thief.

Madam, the watch, gold necklace,

ring there is nothing left.

I don't know what else

he might have taken away.

Shall I call the police?

Let it go.

This thief seems to be a fan.

No, Lala. I don't want money.

I want a room.

You have a lot of tenements.

Only decent people live there.

Of which I also

know 2 or three.

One of whom, runs a still

and another is an illegal bookie.

There are 2 or 3

such every everywhere..

...but would anyone want

that his neighbor be a thief?

Who is a thief?

It is not written on my face

and you wouldn't tell anyone.

If you tell people about

me, I will something..

...about you to the police.

Are you threatening me?

Think about it, Lala.

I do only thefts.

You have a lot of black deeds.

All right. Come tomorrow.

I will see.

Oh, Lala. Who knows

about the tomorrow?

I have brought a lock.

I want a room.

Have it cleaned. I'll be here

tomorrow with my baggage.

He's given Lala the lock.

The rascal.

Uncle John. We're even now.

Stop all work.

Here is a treat from me.

Look what I have brought,

roast chicken, biryani, kebabs.

With stolen money?

Raja, in 60 years I have

made a lot of mistakes..

...but haven't made

one knowingly.

Now it is time to go

up and give an account.

Raja, you don't

spoil my faith, man.

It is a sin to fill your

tummy with stolen money.

Uncle, whenever I meet a

good man I forget myself.

I won't make such

a mistake again.

Hey, Raja! That upset you?

I stopped being upset

when I was 5 years old.

You can pass but you are

very weak in English. - Yes, yes.

But you can get first class

in English. - How's that?

Professor Zebrinski's

magic ring.

- Yes, yes. Ring.

Take out 2 Rupees.

- But I have only one Rupee.

Will do. I'll give you

a student concession.

Say this, Kaka Ena

Zebrinski. - Whisky!

Not whisky. Zebrinski.

- Yes, yes. Zebrinski.

Don't remove the ring till

your results are out. What?

Yes. Yes. Not to take off. - Out.

- Thank you very much, uncle.

Very lucky hand.

You are very lucky.

You are to meet

a very pretty girl.

You will be a millionaire

within 6 months.

You will rule

the world.. Raja!

Professor Zebrinski,

the cheat!

Speak softly, man.

This is the time for business.

Students' exams start

from tomorrow.

You rascal. I went to jail

and you sold off my room.

What could I do man?

You went in and I became broke.

I wanted to get married.

I wanted to get you a sister-in-law.

Got married? - No, man.

Mary's father's

still got caught.

He landed himself

in jail for three months.

- Your Mary remains unwed still?

Hey! My Mary, not yours. Your sister-in-law.

Where do you stay nowadays?

I remain here all day,

man and sleep at night..

...on the footpath somewhere.

Your..

How is your business, man?

My business is first-class.

I've taken a room.

A room. Your own?

You'll stay all alone?

You need to have

a friend with you.

Someone who will sell it off?

You will get rooms aplenty but

you won't get a friend like me. - Tony.

Hey! Professor Zebrenski.

Yes, professor Zebr.. Rinski.

You are something special.

That's why I am

your friend. What?

Keep fooling the people and come

in the evening. Carry on. - Okay.

Home sweet home.

Yes, this is something!

Thank me, man. - Why?

Yes, yes. If I hadn't sold off

the goods train compartment..

...you would've remained there.

What's the rent? - 30. - Not much.

And look. This half

is yours and this is mine.

Oh, Thank you! My own room!

And you have to

pay half the rent.

What, man?

Do you take rent from a friend?

Free friendship days are over.

Now we go halves on everything. - Wait.

No halves on my Mary. Okay?

Tony, if you wish to

live with me, this thing..

...about Mary

and liquor won't do.

From tomorrow.

Today we have come to

a new house. We must celebrate.

Rascal, you'll die of drink.

You'll die without

drinking, man.

I say, this is the chance. Have fun!

You are a useless fellow.

What did you say?

I said, had I taken this room,

I would called for a cask of..

...liquor and had the whole

chawl to drink with me.

I'd have dance and song.

Mary, my darling,

my sweetheart.

Tony, will you listen to song?

No, no. If you sing,

I will become sober again.

I am talking about a girl.

A dancing girl.

Lovely, beautiful girl.

- There is a girl.

What is it?

- We want to listen to song.

Today is Tuesday. - So, what if it is?

- Baiji is fasting today.

Munia?

Go in. - Yes, madam.

Salutations. - Salutations.

Please come. - Come.

Please sit down.

This is my best

friend, Anthony.

What sir?

The other day, the

song I heard, I loved it.

That is why I've

brought my friend along.

You have come

to listen to me sing?

Yes. All right, I might

not be Seth Gordhandas..

...but I won't

listen for free.

We've got the moolah.

Show it to her.

Shall I give her all?

Please sit down.

Come.

How dirty are your feet?

- Sorry, sorry.

What do you wish to hear?

Ghazal, Thumri or Dadra?

Dadra. Sounds like

liquor man? - Quiet.

You will sing in this dress?

We don't want to listen

to some devotional song.

You go and change into

some flashy dress and..

...sing some jazzy song, so

that my friend Tony is pleased.

Thank you.

I'll be back soon.

Raja. - Yes.

You see Rani's servant?

My heart beats faster

when I see her, man.

And when she walks,

then her behind.. - Quiet!

Look, Tony. I have brought you

here as a Lord. - What Lord, man!

And listen.

Sit like a decent man.

Raja, if decent people come

here, where do the indecent go?

Go away, I now know you..

...I know you, I know you.

The one who will hold

his heart still and sigh away.

...how will he ever

fulfill my young love?

Unnecessarily have I taken

an obligation on my head.

No one saw the temple,

everyone saw only the idol.

No one saw the heart,

they saw only the face.

I have tested you.

You come inside

with me for a while.

I? - Go, man, go.

Golden chance.

God blesses. You.

He's got it.. Good.

Shut the door.

Speak up..

I don't know your friend. That is

why I said nothing before him.

What is there to say?

Take this. - Why?

- I don't want your money.

You'd helped me

and I entertained you.

That's all. We're even now.

Even singing and dancing

girls have some principles.

I can see that.

There is dance outside and

worship in the inside room.

What hippocracy is this?

Be what you are.

But.. You too are

not what you are.

What do you mean?

What would happen if

had I kept this necklace..

...and been caught?

- I'm in trouble here.

I agree my profession is bad,..

... but yours is not

praiseworthy either.

How do you know?

After you left the other

day a policeman had come.

What.. What did you tell him?

Nothing.

Had I said something..

you might be in jail right now.

Oh!

Listen..

Don't come here again.

Not even to listen to song?

No. Go some place else.

There are other joints

in the neighborhood.

All right. I won't

come to listen to song.

But I can come to steal.

How will you stop a thief?

I will pray to God that you

be caught and be sent to jail.

Why?

So that you are never

able to come here.

How can you be trusted?

You are a thief.

You will steal and go away..

...and leave

a life time of sorrow.

This life is

also a funny thing.

Today, I haven't stolen

anything but still got caught.

Raja, son, you are gone now.

Mary, my sweetheart, my darling.

Mary had a little lamb.

All are beautiful

and under twenty.

Tony, what is this nonsense.

This is my heart

control cabin, man.

You know how

footloose my heart is.

It jumps out of the

shirt when it sees a girl.

If I get caught somewhere, I will

be second-hand stuff for my Mary.

These girly photos will keep

me in control till I get married.

Hey! Where did you get this?

Stole it. We'd gone there

to listen to her song.

Tony, if this photo is put up

alongside these others, I'll..

Why, why, why, man?

I understand. She is yours?

Mary's sister-in-law? Idea!

Two months later, Mary's

father will be out of jail..

...and Mary will be free.

We'll get married together.

We'll also spend less, man.

You name your son

Raju, I'll name mine Kaju.

Go get ready.

I'm ready for long, man.

Mary's dad is not ready.

May Mary's father go to ruin.

We have to pay rent the day

after tomorrow. Time for work.

The rascal tells me to work.

Five for three,

Five for three.

How's the movie?

Mumtaz in the movie.

You'll love it.

Do you have two tickets..

Come into the corner.

No, darling, no.

No, I cannot live without you.

Why don't you divorce him?

That's impossible. Leave me.

This is our last meeting.

You'd ask for Rupees 500 from

me but I have got 1000. Take this.

Thief, thief.

What are you doing?

Suppose my husband saw us?

Let you husband be,

The moolah is going there.

Thief, thief.

There he goes. Catch him.

We should hand him

over to the police.

No, no.

I got my stuff, let him go.

All right. If the guy

doesn't mind why should we?

Let's go

and mind our business.

Raja! Ustad, come quickly.

Pick him up.. Carefully.

Oh! You are up.

Here. Take this milk.

- Kids drink milk.

What are you doing?

Lie down. You need rest now.

Sit here.

Tell me.

Why have you brought me here?

What am I to you?

No one.. I just like you.

It's better if we finish

the matter right here.

This only you can do Raja.

- Me?

I mean you can

do it, I cannot.

Let this relationship

remain Rani.

Actually, I too cannot do it.

Shall I say something?

You won't laugh? Sure?

I was thinking that I should

have someone, a small home..

...where, on returning home in

the evening, there should be..

...someone waiting for me.

And one day, suddenly, you

do not return and I find out..

...that you are in jail.

That is why I said we

should finish the matter here.

I am a thief, Rani.

That is my profession.

Raja, leave all this.

Leave it?

I will also leave everything.

I also want a home.

My own home.

It is easy to say this.

Will you be able to leave all this?

A life of ease and leisure?

The day you bring your first

pay-packet earned with true hard work...

...I will.

Promise?

Promise.

So, brother, finished?

- Yes, sir.

Come let's go.

Sir, your purse

has fallen down there.

Oh! There's a lot

of money in it.

Keep it carefully.

The money can tempt any one.

Nowadays, one does not find

honest men like you, brother.

Here, this is your reward.

- No, sir. One rupee for my work.

Thank you, sir.

Rani. Hey, Rani. - Raja, Raja.

- Shut your mouth.

I am Raja. You have

been dethroned. Rani is mine.

She is mine.

You.. - Oh! What is going on?

Tell him. One Rani

cannot have two Rajas.

When did you come? - Just now. Here,

take this. 5 Rupees and some change.

Raja, where did

this money come from?

Come? I've earned it.

Washing cars all day..

...picking peoples' bags and

burning all day in the sun.

Therefore you are

glowing so much today.

What do I look like?

Golden. That gets

a sheen after being heated.

Oh, Rani. You a special thing.

You changed my profession

in a day. Ruined my life.

I used to open people's safe

and loot thousands and now..

...I open their car doors

and get only one Rupee.

This kind of

earning is useless.

But the worth of this rupee is

more than 100,000 Rupees.

Is that so? Move aside.

Now, tell me what

you think of this.

Raja, you have stolen again.

These are false.

Bought them for 2 '/2 Rupees. I've

stopped stealing. As I had promised you.

I made a mistake.

Forgive me Raja.

You've brought it.

You put them on.

Hey! Why did you stop?

The hands that have learned

all their lives to snatch from ears,

cannot put them on.

Maybe it is a habit.

You have changed. The habits

of your hands will also change.

Come. Put them on.

Let me see how I look.

Look here, Raja.

How do I look?

Tell me.

Absolutely crackers!

Come. I'm ready.

Where?

Wherever you wish.

I'd promised you that the

day you'd bring your first pay..

I would stop everything.

Oh! Who knows how long

this car washing will last.

Let me get a regular job and I'll

take you from here. Very soon.

Raja.. We have to start

a new life but I feel afraid.

Afraid. Of what?

Our past life, our ill repute.

Bury it. Bury it forever.

Rani will never dance again.

And Raja will

never steal again.

Look. Such a lovely lake.

Isn't it?

We'll do one thing.

We'll bathe in this lake..

...and wash away

all our old sins.

Here? Come on. Don't joke.

I am not joking.

Let's do it. Come on.

I have a sari. I'll wear it.

What will you wear?

I have this handkerchief.

I'll wear it and bathe.

Shameless!

Surprising.

What is shameless about it?

Rani, hurry up.

I am all ready. Now, you get

ready quickly and come out.

When you come out

make sure you don't laugh.

Oh! Why have you

got your eyes shut?

Shameless!

What do you mean?

Open your eyes.

You are laughing

for no reason at all!

I thought..

Oh, no, no. Come on.

Oh! If you are feeling

cold, change your wet dress.

What happened?

It's an odd thing.

Till yesterday I was a bazaar woman.

I didn't have any kind

of feeling of bashfulness.

But today, my body was bared

only a little before you..

...and I felt bashful.

What is this called, Raja?

What kind

of bashfulness is this?

This is the bashfulness

that is born out of true love.

Rani, forget your old life.

The people of this world are..

...naught before our love.

I am telling you the truth.

Rani, what is all this

big talk I was making?

You were saying

very sweet things.

Is that so? So.

What was I saying?

You were saying that this

world is nothing before our love.

Then I said wrong.

I should have said that

there is no one in this..

...world besides

the two of us.

You have said such a big thing.

What can one say now?

One can say a lot

if one wants to.

What? - Should I show you?

There was a sea,

a moonlight in the sky

...and yes,

what was I saying?

...and yes,

what was I saying?

You were saying, O lovely girl,

it is difficult to live in love.

Yes, I just remembered

that since I fell in love.

Today.. what day

is it today?

It's Friday..

Time is passing by.

Wait, someone is coming.

It is a traveler who

is going on his way

Bless me, I was afraid.

...and yes,

what was I saying?

You were telling a story,

ever since youth came upon us.

Okay listen to this. Ever since

these feelings were aroused

What's the date today?

Today is the 26th.

Love is weaving dreams.

Look, someone is listening.

It's the gardener. He is

picking flowers in the garden.

I was mistaken

...and yes,

what was I saying?

After remembering this story.

Don't forget me.

Am I some mad guy, ever

since I have lost my sleep.

And yes, what month is it?

January.

It's a lovely weather.

Why is the police

going round?

They are not looking

for you, but a thief.

...and yes,

what were you saying?

...and yes,

what were you saying?

Yes, what was I saying?

I was saying something.

Tell me. Forgot it?

Oh, yes. I forgot it.

Come on. Let's go home.

Synced by Anomix33

Come, Ranibai.

I had heard a lot about you..

...but I have come

for the first time.

I used to go to Munnibai but

there is nothing left in her now.

I have stopped

doing song and dance.

You have stopped it.

Then, what else you do?

I used to Worship god.

I think why do honorable and ..

...respectable men

like you come here?

To appease the heart.

By throwing away money?

By putting your reputation at risk?

What do you mean?

Suppose your wife or

someone who knows you..

...sees me with you, what

will be your prestige then?

Let this all be. Tell me what

you will take to dance.

Will you be able to give it?

Just ask and see.

Take me to your home.

What did you say?

Take me before your wife

and children and tell that..

...this is Ranibai who can give

me more love and kinship..

...than any of you.

To whose house,

stealing away from sight..

...in the dark of the night,

I go to appease my heart.

Why are you quiet now, sir?

You had asked for the price

for my dance, hadn't you?

I didn't ask for wealth.

I didn't ask for a costly present.

Ranibai. I came here

for a few moments of peace..

...not to listen

to your sermon.

I am going. There are

a lot of joints like this.

Listen, please.

One who does not find

peace in his own house, fools..

...himself by spending

these two moments here.

You have a treasure

of happiness hidden in..

...your own house. Search for

it once with a true heart.

Talk of home and hearth from

a woman like you. Astounding!

Those who live

in hell dream of heaven.

What is surprising is that

leaving, their heaven at home..

...shunning the love of

their wife and children..

...good and intelligent people

like you come to this hell.

Why? To search

for peace of mind.

I beg of you, sir.

Go back home.

You will hear the chimes

of these anklets in..

...the laughter

of your children.

And the grace and the words

of the dance and song will be..

...nothing before the

modest smile of your wife.

I promise you that if you

make a sincere effort and still..

...do not find happiness,

I will dance for you.

And I will take no money.

Usha.. Usha.

You are home so early?

You will hear the chimes

of the anklets in the..

...laughter of your children.

And the grace and the words

of the dance and song will be..

...nothing before the

modest smile of your wife.

What's happened to you?

You are Ranibai?

Yes. And you?

Me? The door was open

and I didn't see anyone.

So I came in.

Does not matter.

Please come. Sit down.

Wait. First let me see you

to my heart's content.

I feel like hugging you.

But who are you?

Me? I am that person's

wife who, after years..

...came home last evening.

The task that I could

not achieve in 5 years..

...even after giving

birth to his child..

...how did you do it

in one day, sister?

Sister?

I will never be able to

repay you for this favor.

You are embarrassing me.

In my heart I am worshipping you.

I feel .. I feel like..

...touching the feet

of a Goddess like you.

No, no.

What is this that you do?

What I am doing is only right.

Tell me.. Tell me,

what can I give you in..

...return for this favor?

What shall I give?

You have given me

without my asking?

By calling me your sister.

My dear sister.

May God always keep you happy.

Always keep you happy.

Taking small kids down from

the bus and putting them on..

...and reaching them home.

It is a responsible job.

I know, sir. You will never

have cause for complaint.

Yes, father. Don't worry.

This boy will work hard

and with sincerity.

All right.

Come to work from tomorrow.

All right, sir.. - What happen?

- I am thirsty.. some water.

There is a tap outside.

You!? How did you

get into my room?

The thirsty man has to

come to the well, Ranibai.

You leave this

place right now.

Great. You look even

lovelier in wet clothes.

You vulgar man!

Are you going or not?

No. I will settle

the matter today. 1000 Rupees.

Sir!

All right. 5000 Rupees.

Think it over, Ranibai.

No one will give you this

much even for a full night.

Talk with decency.

Ranibai. For song and dance,

there are a lot of women..

...it's a matter of the heart. It's just

that I am especially fond of you.

I have stopped

doing dance, sir.

I am getting married

and settling down.

Great. Great. Let me know

whom have you trapped?

I am telling you for the last time.

Go away from here.

I am going, Ranibai. I know

women of your kind very well.

Your kind of woman, who

makes a bare display of her..

...body, can never

be someone's wife.

A degraded woman

can never be a Sita.

Why not? In a country where

there can be a dacoit Valmiki..

...in that country a

woman, perhaps not a Sita..

...can certainly

be a sati. (Chaste woman)

She can be. But for how long?

You will see, Ranibai. You will

return one day to this bazaar.

A bird of the cage can only

dream of the skies but cannot fly.

Rani. Oh, Rani.

What is this? You are crying?

What happened?

Nothing. - Nothing?

Does one cry when

nothing is the matter?

Tell me. Why did you cry?

I suddenly thought of what

I am and what you want to..

...make of me.

That's all and I cried.

Oh, is that all?

And I wondered what the problem was.

Now, stop all this crying and

start laughing. Ask me why.

Why?

I have got a job.

- Really? Where?

In a children's school.

- In a school!

The job of ringing

the bell in the bus. Ting, ting.

Salary 90 rupees. And the work

is to take care of the kids.

That's good. I'll get some

experience before marriage.

Raja. Take me away from

here this very moment.

Where, where?

Where you live.

To your house. Wherever.

Where I live there is only one

room, half of this. Will it do?

It will.

If it will do for you,

it will for me too.

I'll get some clothes.

You look lovelier

in wet clothes.

Why do you need to change it?

- Don't you feel ashamed?

Yes, but not for long.

Go away. - Go away?

God, I have a job and a girl

but only needed a God there.

Why don't you come?

Will you come?

Yes. That's the spirit.

Thank you, thank you.

Who is it? Oh, Raja?

You are something special, mate.

That's all? Tired already?

How much further is it, Raja?

Just a little further.

You have been saying

this for long.

The thing is that you don't

have the habit of walking.

Our journey has just started;

we have a long way to go.

You'll have to cook, wash clothes,

get vegetables from the bazaar ..

...and do lots and

lots of hard work.

You are scaring me?

No, giving you one last chance.

Think it out.

Come. - Aha!

That's the spirit.

Sit, sit. May I say something?

- Tell me.

Actually, I am tired too.

Now, we will relax here

and then walk comfortably.

May I also say something?

Tell me? - May I? - Yes.

Raja, you are

something special.

I am a thief

and you are my queen..

...I am a thief

and you are my queen..

...I am stealing you

from yourself.

...I am a thief

and you are my queen..

No, not thief. You are my king

and I am your queen..

You are my king

and I am your queen.

I am going with you and...

...forgetting

all the world behind.

...You are my king.

We have both seen a dream.

...Somewhere there is a

small home of our own.

...Oh, we have

both seen a dream..

There are moonlit

nights in the courtyard.

...we are sitting

and talking of love.

...if I ever forget these

nights and these talks.

...remind me, don't forget.

What?

I am a thief

and you are my queen..

...I am a thief

and you are my queen..

...I am stealing you

from yourself

...I am a thief

and you are my queen..

...I am a thief.

Fate has meted out

only sorrows to us

...and spread only

thorns in our path

Oh! We have decorated

our own lanes

...weeded out the thorns

and spread only flowers

if I ever forget these

lanes and these flowers

...then remind me,

Oh, don't forget.

What?

You are my king

and I am your queen.

...You are my king

and I am your queen.

..I have come with you,

leaving the world behind..

You are my king

and I am your queen.

I am a thief

and you are my queen..

...I am stealing you

from yourself

...I am a thief

and you are my queen..

You are my king.

- And you are my queen.

Your house.

Oh, Christ!

Your friend.

Hey, open the door!

What, man. You bring your

girl-friend without warning.

I was doing prayers.

Hello. Very sweet, eh?

Tony, mouth under control

and a lock on your tongue.

No filthy talk

before her or else..

No, man. The one who

talks filth, I'll.. - Hey!

Sorry, sorry. Your friend is

my friend. Your guest is my guest.

Your darling is my.. - Sister.

Right! Sister.

Tony, she will stay

right here from today.

Here? I have no problem.

You two will be there

and I on this side.

If you want we'll have

a curtain in the middle.

That's fine but today onwards,

we'll both sleep outside.

Why? Why, man?

Why? I'll show you why.. - Oh!

Raja, what are you doing?

Sister, he is doing right.

Had my Mary been here first,

I would have chased him out.

Give me one rupee, man.

I'm flat broke, today.

Take this.

- Thank you, thank you.

Excuse me. My shoes, man.

Come on, get going.

Goodnight, sister.

What are all these, Raja?

Tony. But not one

will remain tomorrow.

Not one? - Get lost!

God bless you.

He's a dog but he's good.

Rani, this is your house.

Check what's here.

If there is something missing,

you'll get it tomorrow. What?

I understand.

We have to make a home

and there is nothing here.

Oh! Everything will be done.

Just sit for a while.

We sit a chat for

a while and rest a bit.

Hey! Your room

is outside. - Where?

Outside that door.

Oh! Thank you.

Rani, Rani..

May I say something? - Tell me.

Give me a little kiss. - You!..

No, nothing bad.

Here is your God. Take care.

Out?

Oh, Raja, listen.

Do your salutations to

God before going for work.

Yes, of course.

Salutations, God.

Just give me your hand.

You are feeling

embarrassed, sister?

You shouldn't feel

embarrassed in love.

Raja kissed your hand, had it

been my Mary. I would have..

...what to do? He's told me

not to say these things.

Your Mary loves you a lot?

Love? She's mad about me. Mad.

She writes two

letters everyday to me.

I got one just yesterday. Look.

Darling, Tony. Sweetheart.

Last night I saw

you in my dreams.

We both went to the park.

It was a moonlit night.

We sat behind the bench

and after that..

...it is very personal

talk after that.

Sister, I have kept all

Mary's letters carefully.

Come, I'll show you. Come.

Look, sister, look.

More than 200!

Then why don't

you get married.

Yes, I'll do it.

In just one or two months more.

But I have made all

preparations for the wedding.

Look. I've made such a

pretty wedding gown for Mary.

It's very beautiful.

Sister, now you must

listen to what I have to say:

You must do justice to me.

- What justice?

Look at this. Here.

See these pictures?

I have got them

with such difficulty.

I have put them up

with my own blood.

Now, Raja says I

should throw them away.

What do you say, sister?

Suppose Mary were here?

Forget about Mary. Mary lets me

do everything.. Sorry..

Let them remain, sister.

Tony, look. You have called

me your sister, haven't you?

Yes.

Then, you tell me.

Do such pictures look

good before a sister?

No, no. Never.

Out, out, Sweetheart. Out, please.

Tony, now.. you help me

clean up the house.

We've got to get things for

the house, decorate the house..

You have to do nothing.

You just go there to

the mat, in the corner.

Tony will do everything.

Tony.. there was something..

Where is that around here?

That? - That!

You mean the latrine?..

Latrine?

It's there, right opposite.

But it's dirty. Don't go there.

There's such a long queue.

You better go there,

across the railway tracks.

You can sit there comfortably.

No, Tony!

Did I say something dirty?

Come on, uncle.

Yes. Yes, we are moving.

Ok.

What is your name,

conductor uncle?

My name is Raja.

Uncle Raja, will

you play with me?

Yes, yes. Certainly.

We'll play tomorrow.

We'll play 'cops and robbers'.

Child, I have played

'cops and robbers' a lot.

Now, I have left

all that behind.

All right.

Here's your house.

Mummy, mummy.

Tata, baby. - Tata!

Oh! You had a gold chain

around your neck. Where is it?

I don't know. - Conductor!

Yes, madam?

There was a gold chain around

Munni's neck. It's gone now.

I'll just check in the bus.

It might have fallen down there.

What is the matter?

I don't know where she

has dropped her gold chain.

Tell me, child.

Where is the gold chain?

I don't know, Papa.

Sister, it's not in the bus.

You?

You, perhaps, did not

know that she is my child..

...or you would not have dared

to touch the chain. Give me.

Mr. Jailor, I am speaking the truth.

I haven't seen the chain.

I have stopped stealing.

- Don't talk nonsense!

Return the chain quietly.

Mr. Jailor, I am speaking the truth.

I work hard to get by.

I have sworn not to steal.

So, you think I will

believe the oath of a thief?

Papa, don't hit uncle Raja.

Ratna, take her inside.

- Come, child.

Will you tell me or not?

- Sir, I haven't stolen it.

I am speaking the truth.

Idiot! Scoundrel!

- Please listen to me.

I know you very well.

You can do what

you want to with me,

but I tell you

I haven't done the theft.

Sir, why are you hitting him.

He's a very nice man.

You don't know him.

He is a thief.

I have told you several times.

I have not done the theft.

Listen, Mr. Jailor will not

put any charge on you.

If you have given the chain to

someone or sold it, then tell us.

After this, I do not say anything.

Please do as you wish.

Hello.. call for you.

Hello.. What did you say?

It's with Munni's teacher? Okay.

I am very sorry, Inspector.

Munni's teacher just rang..

...my wife to tell her

that she has the chain.

I made a mistake, Raja.

I am sorry.

Good you did not send me to

jail or you would have felt worse.

Father, I am glad the

truth of the matter is out..

...or what would you

have thought about me.

Even then I cannot keep

you in the school.

Sir!?

It is a matter of the school

and after it is known that you..

...have been to jail several times..

I'm really very sorry.

Thank you. Thank you, Father.

And the fun will be great

after you have drunk.

Hey, Tony.

Your glass is empty.

Shankar Dada, my pocket is

also empty. I am going. Bye.

Sit, mate. Sit.

You see the bottle before you.

Drink all you want. - Drink it?

Dada, you are

telling me to drink?

You normally take a round

and drink liquor for free.

Hey, everyone on the block

will stand you a free drink.

Your value has

gone up, hasn't it?

Gone up?

Tony's value has gone up?

What are you saying.

I cannot understand it?

Look, Tony.

Aren't we all friends? - Yes.

We all sit in one place and

drink our liquor, don't we?

Then, those who drink

together have one principle.

Whatever we have,

we should share it.

Share it? You are

saying this, dada?

You must be drunk.

You've had too much.

What are you saying?

No, no, dada. I am drunk.

We should share it. Now I understand.

Now, look here, Tony.

I'll explain.

You cannot understand the

signals, I'll tell you straight.

Look, I have fallen for that

cute baby that is in your house.

Dada, why have you

tied that bandage?

Leave it.

I had a fight yesterday.

Hey, Tony. Shankar dada

is talking about that girl..

...that lives in your room.

You bastard!

Dada, that is no cute

baby, she is my sister.

Raja is going to marry her.

Oh, mate!

He is going to marry her.

He hasn't already

done it, has he?

What is your problem if I wash

my hands in a flowing stream?

Dada!

You rascal! You dare lift

your hands against me!

Don't worry, Raja.

You'll find another job.

Rani, once you are branded,

no one gives you a job.

Tony!.. Tony.. Hey, Tony!

What happened?

Tony, Tony, what happened?

Looks like I am finished.

There was a fight at the drink

joint and I got in unnecessarily.

The rascal knifed me.

Sorry. I shouldn't swear

it before sister, must I?

Sit here with him.

I'll get the doctor.

Don't go anywhere.

Now, I have to go.

But, Raja. Today onwards

I will not cheat anyone...

...I won't swear any more..

I won't drink any more.

Now, shut your nonsense.

How can you die

without marrying Mary?

No, man. All that

about Mary was just bluff.

There is no Mary. - What!?

Yes, man. What girl

will love a cheat like me?

Just to make myself feel happy,

I used to write letters..

...in Mary's name to myself.

What are you saying?

You have made all

preparations for the wedding.

They will all be useful

for your wedding, man.

A present for

my sister for her wedding.

I won't let you die!

Wait, man.

Sister.. I won't be able

to come to Raja's wedding.

Let me see you

as a bride once.

The clothes are

there in my suitcase.

Put them on and show me.

Quickly. Go! - Go.

Oh, God! - Tony!

Raja, why are you crying?

I was sure to die.

Had I not been knifed,

drink would have killed me.

In this world thousands

of Tonys die everyday.

You did a good thing.

You've become a good man, Raja.

Now, you get married soon.

When you have a little boy..

...tell him that

he had an uncle..

Who went away without

seeing him.. and a friend..

Tony, stop it.

Tell him his uncle wasn't

a cheat. He did not drink.

Look, Tony.

I am wearing everything.

Sister.. You look so good..

Just like an angel..

...like a Goddess.

God bless..

Tony? He's gone.

The rascal is gone.

Raja. You remember

I'd made this for myself?

Tony's taken it.

Had I known about

this, I would have made..

...one out of gold

for the rascal.

Raja, I think Tony must

have had a lot to drink..

...else he wouldn't have

fought with Shankar dada.

I heard that Shankar

said some vile things..

...about Rani

at the joint, man.

Tony got annoyed

and fought with him and..

Shankar knifed him..

Knifed him.

Shankar!

Tony was my friend, Shankar..

Tony is dead.

Looks like it

is your turn now.

Shankar!

I beat him up,

Tony.. beat him.

Tony.. Hey, Tony.

Come children, Come on all.

Come, children, mothers,

come fathers. Come and eat.

Hurry up, Tony.

It's getting late. - Yes, mate.

Son, is your name Tony?

- Yes, here take the money.

Let it be, son.

Thank you. Let's go, Pappu.

- Let's go.

Give me Golgappas too.

Oh! But they are finished.

Child, we'll get more

tomorrow. Lots more.

Why do you cry?

It's nothing to cry about.

Raja, there are some more

at home. Shall I get them?

Listen. Take her along.

It is a matter of two minutes or

she will create a bedlam here.

Baby, come on.

We'll get you Golgappas.

Hey, Lady! Where are

you taking the baby?

She wanted to have Golgappas.

Go away. Were you

running away with her?

No, no! - No, no.

You have the wrong impression..

You are also with her?

Oh! This is Ranibai

the dancing girl.

This is how these women carry off

little girls and introduce..

...them into their trade.

You shut your mouth, you dog.

This is not Ranibai's room.

- Get lost, man.

Mr. Inspector,

my ayah said that..

...someone was running away

with my daughter. Who was it?

There was a dancing girl

and a thief. There they are.

Rani, you?

Then, that girl is yours?

But how did this happen?

What can I say?

Raja and I were trying

to lead an honest life.

We were working hard and

were selling some things.

The things were finished

and the child was adamant.

I told her that I would

give her some at home.

The child was going

with us, that's all.

And people thought

we were thieves and..

...and also they hit my Raja.

Mr. Inspector, I can say with

conviction that these people..

...cannot do such a thing.

And people who can

light up someone's home..

...how can they snatch

away the light of my house?

The fault is my ayah's,

not theirs.

How is it not our fault, sir?

We were bad people and

wanted to become good.

Isn't that a sufficient fault?

I apologize for

what happened today.

Mr. Inspector,

can they go now?

When you have not

preferred any charges..

...what objection can I have?

Thank you.

You two come with me.

- With you?

Yes, I want to talk about

something with the two of you.

Come.

Why don't you marry?

How can we get married,

till I don't get a proper job?

Don't worry about that.

Are you educated?

Didn't get a chance..

...but I can say 'Good

morning' and 'Thank you'.

Anyway, no matter. I'll try my

level best to get a job for you.

Thank you, sir.

- You're welcome.

Thank you. - All right.

Thank you.

It is Pinky's birthday the day

after tomorrow and you are..

...to come here with Raja.

Raja and I? - Yes.

What are you saying?

Amidst all the big people, I..

You'll look very good.

And are you any less?

In any case, what is

there in these big people..

...a few good clothes

and expensive jewelry.

Wait.

These are my saris.

Take the ones you like

and wear it on the day.

No, no.

You can return them. - But..

How can I wear your things?

I am unworthy of them.

Look, Rani.

I have called you my sister.

If you say anything

like that again..

...I will be annoyed with you.

Understand?

Look at this. This color

really looks good on you.

And look at this. This goes

very well with the sari.

Raja! Come, Come. But tell me,

why are you two so late?

These are Golgappas

for Rani's birthday.

That's why we got

a little late.

Great! What a present!

Golgappas!

It's a nice present.

Can there be one any better?

Rani, how did you remember?

Do you know?

Baby has been talking about

Golgappas for the last 4 days.

Where is she?

She's there, come.

Come, Raja.

Pinky!

Here are the Golgappas.

You like them, don't you?

Yes. May I have them?

Yes, child. But after

we've cut the cake. Okay?

Yes. I think everyone's here.

Shall we cut the cake?

Come, Raja.

- Come, Rani. Come along.

Oh! Do you see Pinky's cake.

- Lovely.

Let's us finish quickly

the ceremony of..

...the cake-cutting.

Mr. Shamlal.

People are eager to listen

to the baby's congratulations.

What do you mean?

Is this something to ask about?

When you have called..

...such a famous

dancer like Ranibai..

...we are sure to

have song and dance.

Mr. Gupta. You are mistaken.

This is Ranidevi

and she is our guest.

Okay, 'devi' is fine.

I am also an old disciple of hers.

Mr. Gupta, be careful what

you speak. - No, no, sir. Let it go.

You are being insulted on

our account. We'll go. Come, Rani.

Raja! You will not go.

Mr. Gupta. Now that you are

bent upon embarrassing before all,

let me then clarify to you..

...what these two mean to me.

This Rani is my younger sister

and Raja is her husband to be.

Congratulations.

But henceforth, whenever you..

...have guests such as these for

your parties please do not invite us.

Mr. Gupta, you are

crossing all limits!

Come on, Raja.

We are unable to watch

you being insulted. We are leaving.

No, Raja. Had he insulted me,

I wouldn't have minded a bit.

But he has insulted the relationship

that is between a brother and a sister...

He has scoffed at its purity.

You may leave if you wish.

And, with you, all those who

have any objection to Raja..

...and Rani being here,

can join you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Let's forget about everything.

It happens sometimes,

that people are misled.

Sister Rani, today, you

will cut Pinky's birthday cake.

Blow it! Good!

Happy birthday to you..

Aha! Lovely! - Here, take.

No, first Raja.

Give him.

Why are you feeling shy?

Why are you feeling shy? Go on.

Come on.

We'll always remember

this day, Raja.

And Pinky's parents too.

They gave us so much love..

...treated us like their own.

We won't forget them

till our last breath.

Surprising!

You are not married yet and..

...you talk of the last breath.

Look, all our dreams

will be fulfilled.

I'll get a job and then

marriage and after that.. - Oh!

Oh, Raja. No mischief.

This is mischief?

Before marriage, it is.

And after marriage?

- It turns to civility.

I want to be civil soon.

I will. Now, leave my hand.

Look, there's

a temple here..

...and what were

you doing before God?

Rani, this God is a ..

Very nice thing.

When you want him,

you can't find him and..

...when you are not

looking for him, there he is.

Come, let's have

a chat with God.. Come.

Rani. Oh, Rani.

What's the matter? Why did you

run away from the temple?

No, I cannot tell you. If I do,

you will start hating me.

Then I'd definitely

want to hear it.

What secret is that which

will make Raja hate Rani?

I am married. - What?

Today, after a long time,

I saw my father-in-law.

It was like

a marriage of dolls.

My husband did not

want to marry me.

He married me so as not

to displease his parents..

...and left home. He had

an accident the same night.

Wait a minute.. Wait a minute..

And in that accident..

Yes, I became a widow

the very same night.

If you have become a widow,

then I have died long ago.

Do you.. Do you remember

our first night?

You were sitting with covered

face and your husband..

...was pacing up and down.

When you fell at his feet, he

suddenly saw the bathroom door.

He then went into the

bathroom and never came out.

Raja, how do

you know all this?

Because that was me.

Your marriage was with me.

The advocate's son had

gone away a long time ago..

...after he'd

written that note.

What is this you are saying?

What I am saying is right.

The police was after me and I..

...got into the house

and hid in your room.

I read the note, there was litte

time, the police was after me..

...and I put on the

turban and saved myself.

That means you turned

Nirmala into Ranibai.

After the marriage, did

you never think of me?

Don't get me wrong.

I got caught the same night..

...and went to

jail for 6 months.

When I left the jail, I tried to

find you but you were gone.

Yes, by that time

I was a dancing girl.

Please forgive me..

All your troubles till date

have been because of me.

My mistakes were

done unknowingly.

No, Raja.

I am not blaming you.

The fault lies with my fate..

...that got me married to you

and even though you were..

...alive, compelled

me to become an..

...ordinary song

and dance girl.

Fate has not had

less fun with me, Rani.

I came to my wife's house with

my friend and, thinking her a..

...bazaar girl,

asked her to dance.

And, after that, Raja, had

you gone out of my life..

...what would have

happened to me?

Oh! It is only after that I

have started believing..

...in a fickle thing like fate.

See. I got you and lost you.

And then I got you again.

Oh, Raja!

Hey! Wipe your tears.

I was a thief earlier.

Now, I can with aplomb,

tie a necklace around your..

Rani... Your necklace!

Necklace? Did I drop it?

On the way somewhere?

- In the temple? - Come on.

This is not the one.

Then we have only

two designs more.

Can we see them?

It was exactly like

this, wasn't it?

What's its price?

- 10000 rupees.

I want these 10000

rupees as a loan.

Loan? And that too 10000?

I need it desperately.

I swear I will repay every paisa.

Look, Raja.

I have a principle.

Bring goods

and take the money.

I don't the

business of lending.

Lala, I have earned

thousands for you.

Today, when I have a

need, you are acting funny?

I am not acting funny, I am

only showing you the way..

...from which

you have gone astray.

Come back to the old

ways, all will be well.

Sister had sent

the ayah today.

What did you say?

I put it off today.

How many days will

you put it off?

The necklace has

to be returned..

...as soon

as possible, any how.

But, how?

It is a matter of 10000.

Rani, this is

a matter of our prestige.

What a big favor

they did to us.

They gave us a chance

to come good and..

...they know very well

what we were earlier.

If, even for a moment, they

suspect that we have pinched..

...the necklace, we will never

be able to lift our heads again.

But, there is no other way.

There is one. - What?

Once, Rani.

Only once, let me steal.

No, Raja. Don't ever think of it.

You are under oath to me.

All right, I'll go and try to

get money from somewhere.

10000!? Where will

we get the money from?

How will be able to

face those nice folks?

All our dreams will be shattered.

Nothing will remain.

I have tried everywhere

and now I am compelled to..

...break my promise, Rani.

If we don't return the necklace,

it will be a matter our prestige.

This will be my last

theft, Rani. The last.

Forgive me. if you can.

When the darkness falls..

after midnight.

A thief comes out..

on the black road.

..This voice can be heard.

Thief, thief!

Thief.. Police!

Now, Raja will never steal.

- Now, Rani will never dance.

We had both seen a dream.

We both had a small house.

There were moonlit nights.

And we sat talking of love.

And if I forget about those

nights and those talks.

You must remind me

and don't forget.

Neither you could

manage, nor could I..

Neither you could

manage, nor could I..

We both could not love.

Neither you could

manage, nor could I..

You could not complain,

and I couldn't censure..

You sing, Ranibai. Take him

and tie him up in some room.

Ranibai, I have given 10000

in hard cash. Dance!

There was

no such intention.

We had made a vow.

But such is fate,

it is like a chain.

We could break this

and leave the world.

But we have had to

live and drink this poison.

You broke your vow,

I was not trustworthy..

Come, let us do justice

and forgive each other

You could not

manage innocence.

You could not manage

to be virtuous.

I could not manage

virtuous too.

Neither you could

manage, nor could I..

Neither you could

manage, nor could I..

We both could not love.

The heavens

may give any work..

...give anyone any name..

...he cannot change,

he cannot be retrieved.

Whatever is our work,

whatever is our name..

We'll have to do the same

and then die the same way.

We have no place

amongst the virtuous.

...my loyalty is gone,

my virtue is gone.

You could not protect it.

And I could not

protect it, too.

Sir, I had come here

only to dance. Let me go.

Ranibai, I have given 10000

rupees not for only dance.

I will return your money.

Just let me and Raja go.

Tonight, think of me

as your King, my queen!

My life.

Gladden my heart today.

Sir!

Raja, what have you two done?

That necklace was a fake.

It wouldn't cost even 200 rupees.

Raja.. Raja, if Rani

had come and told us..

Whatever happened was to

prevent you from knowing..

...about it, so that we did

not fall in your estimation.

Rani has told us everything.

Fate has played a big

joke on the two of you.

But don't worry. I will engage

the biggest advocate..

...and try to save you.

You have done a lot for us.

I am not afraid

of the sentence.

What will happen

at the worst? Hanging?

Don't say that, Raja.

Yes, Rani.

But there is only one grouse,

that we could be good folks..

Rani, my sister.

Don't cry. - Sister.

I have never asked for

anything from anyone..

In this life.

But I will do it today.

Don't let my Rani tie

anklets again. - Time's up!

You may leave now.

This rascal time

is also a special thing.

It just didn't give us a

chance to come good.

Raja, be brave.

Come, let's go.

Your Honor, I only have to say that

the accused Raja and his wife Rani,

in their own different ways

through their professions

have been looting society.

They met by chance

and they made a group.

Rani would sing, dance and

ply people with drink and...

...make people senseless..

and Raja would make the best of

the opportunity and loot them.

This is how the murder Seth

Govardhandas came to be.

The only difference is that

they were caught red-handed.

I would request the court

that this woman, whom the..

Defence calls

the wife of the accused..

...be taken into custody as

an accomplice to the crime.

Obiection, your honor.

The accused has admitted that..

...he has committed

the murder in order to..

...save the honor of his wife.

Your Honor, the prosecution

challenges the defence to..

...prove that Raja and Rani

are married and when and..

...where their

marriage took place.

You Honour, I request

permission to present..

...Rani as my witness.

Permission granted.

I swear upon the Geeta

that I will speak only the truth..

...and nothing but the truth.

Sir, you, perhaps,

did not recognize me.

You are my daughter-in-law

Nirmala, aren't you?

Yes, Judge, but my marriage..

Wait! There is no need

to say anything further.

Owing to there being

a relationship of the..

Witness with me, the

hearing of the case will be..

...entrusted to another court.

Accordingly, this court is

being adjourned till then.

It is true that Raja and

Rani's wedding took place..

...in my presence

as per rites.

Any more questions?

- No, thank you.

I have nothing more

to add, Your Honor.

It is now proved that Raja and

Rani were married as per rites.

But, now, since Rani had

also confessed to the crime..

...this court would like to know

who the real assailant was?

Your Honor, before going into

the question of who the true..

...assailant was, I would

suggest that we find out the true..

...reason for the murder of

Seth Govardhandas..

... and the circumstances

in which he was killed.

I obiect, your honor!

At the time of the murder,

...only Raja and Rani

were present there.

There is no proof or witness to

tell us how the murder took place.

That is why the prosecution

repeats its point that the..

Murder of Seth Govardhandas

was premeditated.

His death was as a result

of a conspiracy between..

...Raja and his wife.

That I say I say that Raja

and Rani be held responsible..

...and they should be given

the harshest sentence possible.

The court is agreeable to

what the prosecution says and..

Wait!

Who are you?

I am the wife

of Seth Goverdhandas.

I have been coming to the

court everyday and have..

...been praying

to God that I should not..

...have to open my mouth ..

...because I am a Hindu woman,

for whom it is a sin to speak ill..

...of her husband

even in her dreams.

But today I am compelled

to tell you about the..

...true reason

for my husband's death.

The day he died,

I heard the noise and..

...came out of the room where

I saw, for the first time, a girl..

...who was not willing to

trade her virtue at any cost.

And on the same day, I saw

my husband, a human being..

...in the form of an animal.

Not animal, call him the

devil, call him a womanizer.

I obiect, your honor.

The accused may

be asked to remain silent.

Let him speak. The court

would like to know the truth.

The truth. The truth is that

I was shut in an adjoining room.

From there I was watching

the antics of this scoundrel.

Rani was scared

and was begging..

...for her virtue

to be spared.

Seeing my wife's condition,

my blood boiled.

But he.. he was in a drunken

state and like a hungry hyena..

...he fell upon her and the

knife went right through him.

I freed myself somehow and

took the blood-stained knife..

...from her and swore

her to secrecy and..

...took the blame

for the murder.

We are very bad people,

we are the shunned..

...but we are not killers.

We.. We always tried to be good..

tried very hard..

But every attempt failed.

Today.. Today, sir, I have

learnt that if a man falls from..

...the mountain-top

he can get up again..

... but if he falls from grace,

he can never get up again.

We have lost, sir..

we have lost.

Now, whatever sentence

your law gives, it may..

...and if possible, we may

be sentenced to death..

...so that we are freed from

this daily dying. Please, sir.

Order. Order.

It is this court's view that

whatever evidence and..

...witnesses that

were presented by the..

...prosecution against

Raja were insufficient.

And in spite of the confession

of the accused and keeping..

...in view

Mrs. Saritadevi's statement..

...it is proved that the death

of Seth Govardhandas..

...was not pre-meditated and

was as a result of chance..

...for which the accused,

Raja, or his wife Rani..

...cannot be held responsible.

Accordingly, this court

dismisses this case..

...and releases

the accused Raja.

It is my good fortune that I got

this opportunity to atone for my sin.

My daughter-in-law

became Rani from..

...Nirmala on my account.

But, today, I can say with great

pride that I accept her as my daughter..

...and pray to God that the

atrocities of Society and..

...short-sightedness

should not give birth to..

...any other Raja and Rani.

Go, my children. Be happy.

May God bless you.

Wait, Raja, wait.

I got a little late.

Raja, you know I always make

coffins for the ones who go away ..

but, today, I have made something

for the one who is yet to come.

Look at this.

Uncle, is this for me?

- No, no.

For the one to come.

Raja, you two have

done wonders in life.

Actually, Raja, you..

you are a special thing, man.
