Talaash (2012) - full transcript

lt's only the night that
brings the forbidden to life

The streets open their arms
to whoever passes by

This is the path for lost souls

Here a smile doesn't reach the eye

A mask is worn to cover the Iie

lt's so festive all around

Even then only loneliness abounds

Yesterday in these very lanes,
in these crushed flowers

There was such a high

Now onIy thirsty spirits,
wracked in agony

Seem to wander by



All searching for the same thing

Not knowing the futility it will bring

This is the path for lost souls

Here a smile doesn't reach the eye

A mask is worn to cover the Iie

lt's so festive all around

Even then only loneliness abounds

Between the lights
and among the shadows

An unhappy secret exists

Why is it here?

What has happened
for such anger to persist

Tell me oh dark night

Nothing escapes your sight

This is the path for lost souls



Here a smile doesn't reach the eye

A mask is worn to cover the Iie

lt's so festive all around

Even then only loneliness abounds

Here a smile doesn't reach the eye

A mask is worn to cover the Iie

lt's so festive all around

Even then only loneliness abounds

Good morning, sir.

Devrath Kulkarni.

So what happened here?

An accident, sir.
The car crashed into the sea.

l've heard a lot about you...

it's an honour to work with you.

The car came speeding down the road...

and then it swerved...

like... like this...

straight into the sea.

Where were you?

l was sitting over there.

Sir...

Pinky knew something
was about to happen.

She warned us...

but we ignored her.

Who is Pinky?

- Another witness.
- Hello, sir.

That was the only car on the road.

Anything else on the road?

There was absoIutely
nothing on the road...

l saw it...

Sir, please come here.

- Get a stretcher.

That's Armaan Kapoor.

Check if there's any lD.

The doors were locked...

he was also wearing the seatbelt.

lt is him.

Thank you.

What's going on here?

Move away... all of you.

We'll get to the bottom of this.

Here.

What happened to Ramu, our driver?

ls he...

Mr. Kapoor was driving...

he was alone.

Alone?

What about Yuvraj?

His spotboy...

he accompanies Armaan everywhere.

There was no one else in the car.

But, Armaan...

Armaan was never on his own.

l don't get it...

why was he driving?
He hates driving.

Get Ramu and Yuvraj's number...

talk to them.

Good morning, mom.

What's wrong, mom?

- Film starArmaan Kapoor
met with an accident...

last night on Seaface road.

He died in the crash.

- Seaface road is part
of Mumbai's underbelly...

famous for the red light area nearby.

lt is not clear whatArmaan Kapoor...

- was doing here last night.

- Meanwhile Sonya Kapoor's brother,
Teji Singh has stated that...

- the family is not satisfied
with the police statement...

- that it was merely an accident.

Right now, we need time to
deal with this tragedy...

- only then can we
take any legal recourse.

- We stiII don't know
what really happened.

What's wrong, Juhi?
Lost your husband?

Bhai...

Armaan Kapoor is dead.

What?

Armaan Kapoor, the actor...

here on Seaface road.

Are you serious?

That's where l'm coming from...

it's chaos down there.

The press is alI over
questioning the junkies.

So, you really met him last night?

l thought you were bIuffing.

Whom did you meet?

Shut up!

You have onIy one good leg...

how about l break that too?

Jinxed bastard...
always arrives with bad news.

Here, get us breakfast.

Move it!

Poor guy, you are so mean to him.

Never repeat what l say to you...

in front of others.

Get it?

Sorry.

l said, l'm sorry!

- Sir, is the underworId involved in
Armaan Kapoor's death?

- That's all the information
we have right now.

l'm here outside
Armaan Kapoor's place...

he lived in an apartment
on the top floor.

People have been pouring in
to offer their condoIences...

Where is Sonya?

She's upstairs.

Come in Devrath.

Sit.

Tell me.

Armaan Kapoor was shooting at Filmcity
on the night of 4th March...

for producer Deepak Lalwani's film...

they were shooting on floor number 4.

They wrapped the shoot at around 2 AM.

- Pack up!
Good shot, Armaan.

- Both his driver and spotboy
were with him at that time.

- Did you talk to them?

- Yes, sir.

- They said Armaan took
15 minutes to change.

- His staff went about
routinely packing his things.

But, then something unusual happened.

- Armaan sent them both home
from the studio...

- and he drove himself.

- Ramu...

you go home, l'll drive myself.

- Come on...

- They aIso thought it was odd because
Armaan didn't Iike to drive.

When did he Ieave from Filmcity?

At 2:20 AM.

The accident occurred at 4 AM.

How long does it take to
get to Seaface road from Filmcity?

Probably 30 minutes, at night.

Even ifyou give it 45 minutes...

where was he for an hour
before the accident?

We don't know that yet, sir.

And Seaface road where
the accident occurred...

is not on his way home.

lnspector Shekhawat...

- Sir, l'm calling from The Times of lndia
to confirm a story.

- Sources tell us that there's an unidentified
number on Armaan Kapoor's mobile.

- ls it true that his last call--

His phone was destroyed by the water,
it's in the workshop.

Who speaks to the press here?

Come on guys,
who here knows journalists...

you know, to help me leak a story?

Sir!

Devrath, confiscate their mobiles.

Your phones.

Quick!

This is a high profile case.

No talking to the media.

The autopsy and forensics details...

any evidence we get...

none of it is to be made public...

until this case is solved.

ls that clear?

l said, no talking to the media...

you can talk to me.

Alright, back to work.

Sir!

l'm Rakesh Rane.

Yes, Rane?

l don't think this case
will ever be solved...

it's an A-final case, sir.

l mean...

there have been similar accidents
on that road in the past few years.

All freak accidents...

put down as acts of providence...

all unexplained.

We didn't get any evidence, whatsoever.

Finally one mystery is cleared...

l know why so many officers
transfer out ofthis station.

How's it going?

What's up?

Madamji.

Shashi bhai, where did you flick...
l mean buy the belt from?

You again!

Where you offto, Nirmala?

My clients want young girls...

not old hags.

The rest ofyou... let's go.

- Today's cIients have
flown in from Goa.

Don't listen to him.

You look really nice...

l know.

What's the matter, Shashi?

You look tense...
something bothering you?

- Hey!

- Open up!

Shashi...

What were you doing?

Nothing... just trying to rile you up.

Look at you...

guess I managed to!

- Shashi bhai, it's me... Tehmur.

Here's the new SlM card, Shashi bhai.

Take that in.

You changing your number?

You ask too many questions...

are you a lawyer?!

l'm off to my village for a few days.

That's your answer if anyone asks.

Now get lost!

- Take me with you.

- lt's a work-trip...

- not a vacation.

Once it's done,
l'II rush back to you.

But untiI then...

No one must know anything.

- But what was
Armaan doing on Seaface road?

Suri, stop being secretive...

give us the scoop.

lt was an accident.

That's it.

Pass the water, please.

You actually met Sonya Kapoor?

- ls she as beautiful in real life?

- lt is so sad.

He was so young... no?

- He shouldn't have died.

Young people die all the time...

but frankly no one--

Sorry.

Don't be silly...

you don't need to apologise to us.

How's she doing now?

She's better.

l've spoken to a psychiatrist...

Anjali Punjabi.

Yes, she is quite good.

Yeah, l think it will help Roshni--

Can I get you something?

No, thanks.

Go back.

Stop.

The car was in perfect condition.

- The power brakes were working fine.

He braked
here and then swerved...

and crashed through those steps
into the sea.

Seems like he was trying to
avoid hitting something...

but there was
nothing on the road.

He wasn't drunk either.

Yes, sir.

The reports don't show
any traces of alcohol or narcotics.

His lungs were filled with water.

- Cause of death is drowning.

- Sir...

it seems like one of those
A-final cases...

- none of it makes any sense.

Come on.

- Thousands have gathered on the streets
to pay their last respects...

- to beIoved BoIIywood actor
Armaan Kapoor...

- Yes?
- Hello.

l'm Frenny Mistry...

l live in the neighbourhood...

thought l'd welcome you.

There was no need for this...

Darling, everybody needs cheese cake!

You need any help?

Oh no...

l'm fine...

just some boxes left to unpack.

Call me if you need anything...

l have a number for everything.

Carpenter, electrician, plumber,
anything you need...

l know them all!

Thank you.

l would love some tea.

Of course, pIease sit.

So, you're alone at home all day...

while your husband is out
chasing robbers?

How long have you been married?

12 years.

- Milk and sugar?

Yes, dear...

- two spoons.

Hello, Karan.

Hello, Inspector.

Hello.

This is Sanjay...

Armaan's best friend.

Hello.

- Please have a seat.

Thank you.

Sonyaji, we still don't know where
your husband was heading that night...

or why he was on that road.

And the accident?

lt's still a mystery why
he steered the car off the road...

and crashed into the sea.

Sonyaji...

may l ask you something?

Sure.

Was something bothering Mr. Kapoor?

l mean, was he depressed or disturbed?

Armaan did not kill himself, lnspector.

- Why would he kill himself?

Because you can't figure out
what realIy happened?

Just this morning
my accountant toId me...

he had given Armaan 2 million rupees
in cash that day.

Why?

We don't know.

- l gave him the money...

at around 7:30 in the evening.

- Why didn't you inform Sonyaji
about this before?

Sir, l did try...

but she was in a state of shock,
so l couldn't speak to her.

- Was the money in 500 rupee bills?

No, sir, 1000 rupee bills.

The money was
in a green Puma bag.

But we didn't get
any such bag in the car.

- Didn't you pack
Armaan's stuffthat night?

What all was there?

His gym bag...

music system, lunch box...

and...

a bag that the accountant gave him.

A red bag?

No, sir, a green one.

What was in it?
Did you open it?

No, sir, l never open his bags
unless he asked me to.

Sure?

Yes, sir.

Did Mr. Kapoor tell you
who the bag was for?

No.

Has this ever happened before?

Twice.

And once...

about a year ago,
on Mr. Kapoor's instructions...

l personally dropped off
1 million rupees at Hotel Lido.

lt's quite close to where...
the accident took pIace.

Why?

l don't know, sir.
l was instructed to...

give the bag to the receptionist.

- Hello, sir.
What's the problem?

Anand Murugan used to work here,
l want to know his whereabouts.

Murugan?

He was a receptionist here
for 4 years.

Of course!

He quit and...
we haven't heard from him.

- ls it extortion?

- Sir, blackmail seems more likely.

lf it were extortion he would've told
someone about it...

but, neither his wife nor his friends
know anything.

ls the blackmail
connected to his death?

l don't think so...

but there are a lot of
unanswered questions.

Today Armaan's wife has filed an FlR.

That's all we need right now.

Do we use the entire police force
to solve this hero's case?

Sir, l think once we get to Murugan
we'll have a lot more answers.

- Then find him quickly.
- Sir.

- Sir...

Shashi here.

- Where the hell have you been?

- l have been trying desperately
to call you.

l had to change my number...

need to lie low.

- What happened with Armaan that
night?

How shouId l know?

l wasn't there.

- Don't bullshit me.

- The police know about the 2 million!

You handle them...

now back to business...

l was promised 5 million...

you owe me 3 more.

Why are kids made to dance
to film songs?

ls there nothing better to do?

The kids were good.

- Roshni...

- Roshni!

Who is this lunatic?

- Hello dear.
- Hello.

This is my husband, Suri.

Hello...

This is Frenny, our neighbour.

She lives with her brother,
lnspector Billimoria.

l've met your brother.

Poor you, dear.

Are you heading home?

Yes.

How are you, Surjan?

l'm fine, why?

Nothing... well...

ActuaIIy, I wanted to meet you.

For a while now.

Well...

l have a message for you.

Message? From whom?

From your son...

Karan.

He wants me to tell you that...

ls this a joke?

No, please hear me out...

Karan wants me to tell you that
he wants to talk to you.

Shut up!

Just shut up!

We don't want to hear anything.

Stay away from us.
Get it?

l mean it!

Let's go.

Karan said...

'Tell Dada l am fine'.

'Not to worry.'

'Tell Dada l want to
talk to him.'

How does she know
Karan called you Dada?

Didn't you say...

she barged in and
asked personal questions.

But...

l didn't mention anything
about Karan to her.

l can't believe the things
people do for money.

But what if it's true?

What?

What if...

she really did talk to Karan?

Karan is dead, Roshni.

He can't talk to anyone.

Some people can talk to spirits...
l have read such things happen...

Don't believe in such stuff, Roshni.

That's nonsense.

Please don't do this
to yourself and me.

Suri, all l am saying is...
can we hear her only once--

l'm sorry,
l can't have this conversation.

lt's too ridiculous,
l'm leaving.

Suri, please... only once--

Suri!

Dada...

Mom, can we go for a walk?

Okay.

- Karan, don't wander too far off.

- Okay.

- Karan!

Karan!

- Suri, find him.

Karan!

- Karan!

Looks Iike you need some love.

l can take your pain away.

Save it for someone else...

l'm a cop.

l've always had shitty luck...

l'm only getting started for the night
and you call it a day!

But, it's okay, officer...

take me with you.

Arrest me!

How will that help?

When you're aIready in heII.

Perhaps...

but l know the way to heaven.

- Right down this road...
Hotel Lido.

There's heaven in every room.

Hotel Lido, that place nearby?

The receptionist is a friend...

he won't charge a thing.

Get in.

You men are all the same.

How long have you been
working in Lido?

Seven years.

Do you know Murugan?

Anand Murugan?

He was a receptionist there.

Why?

l'm looking for him.

But...

no one seems to know where he is.

Everyone know he is dying in Melur...

AlDS is bad for business.

So, the manager sent him away.

Thank you.

That's it?

That's it.

Don't shoo me off...

l can really help you.

l'II find you when l need you...

now go.

Missing me already?

What's your name?

Rosie.

Good night, Rosie.

Where can l find Anand Murugan?

That way.

Anand Murugan?

Sir, Devrath here.

- You were right,
Murugan has AIDS.

- About a year ago he got a bag
from Armaan Kapoor's accountant.

- For a guy called Shashi.

Now who's Shashi?

He's a pimp.
He works out of Hotel Lido.

Shashi gave Murugan
Rs. 2000 for the bag.

l hope Murugan isn't lying.

l don't think so.

He is dying,
why would he lie?

- Where is Shashi?

- He told me he was going to SangIi
for some work.

What work?

That he didn't tell me.

When is he expected?

l don't know.

Listen to me...

Shashi is in trouble.

lf you want to help him,
tell me where he is.

Sir, l really don't know.

Did Shashi ever mention
anything about Armaan Kapoor?

- Where is Shashi?

- l don't know.

- Haven't seen him around.

l heard he went back to his village.

Where is that?

You know, a pIace that has
cows and bullock carts.

A village.

You're quite a good comedienne.

But, unfortunately for you...

it's not easy to make me laugh.

You have two options.

Either you give us Shashi's address...

or we can take a drive to the station.

Hold on.

You can'tjust arrest me.

Devrath, she really is funny...

she's made me smile too.

Christina, get me my diary.

- Sir, Shashi didn't come here
to Sangli.

Just as l thought.

You can come back.

Tell the cops there
to keep an eye on his family.

We have to find this guy
no matter what!

l need these pills.

Karan liked to play in water.

Ever since he was little.

When l'd get the water
ready for his bath...

he'd be so happy.

He would fill his mouth
and spout water on me.

He wouldn't stop Iaughing!

Karan loved to be in water...

did he have to drown and die?

Losing a child is a very
traumatic experience.

l empathise with you...

but life does take unexpected turns.

Sometimes we end up
losing people that we love.

But we have to carry on.

Be patient, Roshni.

l can assure you that with the help of
these sessions and medication...

you wiII get out ofthis.

And you have your husband
for support as weIl...

Along with Karan...

l also lost Suri.

The fact is Suri needs your help
more than l do.

l don't know what he thinks...

or what he feeIs.

He doesn't talk to me.

You know...

he never talks about Karan.

Never.

Do you feel Suri doesn't care?

No, he does care.

lf he didn't...

he'd be able to sleep.

My sadness is met with
a siIence from you

Time is to bIame and that is the truth

Beat after beat a sorrow
continues to stay

Then why does the heart
stilI seem to say

Live a Iittle

The heart says live a IittIe

My fellow traveller, my soul mate

Come a little closer and live a little

Yes this life has been full of pain

But there is a solace too
that it contains

l am yours and you are mine

And we hope that
this won't ever change

Then why has the road that
leads me to you broken down

Why are we meeting life
with a frown

Come Iet's open the doors,
let it aII go

Let's cry our hearts out,
let the tears flow

Live a Iittle

The heart says live a IittIe

My fellow traveller, my soul mate

Come a little closer and live a little

Let the pain clouds drift away

Allow life to blossom
a little each day

Leave the past where it belongs

And Iisten to what
the heart has to say

Live a Iittle

The heart says live a IittIe

My fellow traveller, my soul mate

Come a little closer and live a little

- Sir, the guy in the yellow t-shirt
is Tehmur, Shashi's confidant.

- He's walking towards you.

Alright.

Tehmur!

Me... sir?

You are Tehmur, right?

What do you do?

l'm a beggar.

l'm very poor...
don't even have enough to eat.

Sir, l haven't done anything...

- Sir, where are you taking me?
- Get him in!

- Speak up!

He's not talking.

Sir, l really don't
know where Shashi is...

Sir, l swear l don't know anything.

Shut up!

Sir is an encounter specialist.

Afew days ago
he shot dead some goons!

You better talk.

Sir, trust me,
l really don't know anything.

What will you do
if Shashi calls you?

l'II inform you.

What if you don't?

You can chop off my legs!

You can go.

Really?

Now get lost!

Shashi has never treated you well.

He treats you like a dog!

l suggest you come clean
to lnspector Shekhawat.

And save yourself.

Pande, you know me well.

l'm not trying to help Shashi...

nor am l being a hero.

l want to stay away from it all.

Shashi is into something big.

Shashi took 2 miIIion
from Armaan Kapoor.

He can't escape...

sooner or later we will get him.

We're sorry.

The number you've reached
is not in service.

Tehmur, give us some water.

- Shashi, You better listen to me.

- Stop calling me so many times.

- l told you that
you'll get the money tomorrow.

- Come to the Mahim carnival
at 8 pm tomorrow.

- lfyou want the money,
don't caII again.

Seen Shashi around?

No, sir...

l knew you would be back.

Why?

Everyone gives in to my charm...

how would you escape?

You were right about Murugan.

Why would l lie?

People here don't reaIIy help the cops.

Because cops don't really
help the people here.

Cops treat everyone alike.

You're reaIIy funny, you know that?

Where are you going?

Where do you think?

That's not why l'm here.

Then, why are you here?

Don't lie to me.

l can sense you are Ionely.

No fun with the wife anymore.

Am l right?

l am not here to play games.

Do you know Shashi?

Shashi?

What's there to know?

He is a jerk.

Do you work for him?

l am one of his top girls.

Where is he right now?

l don't know.

l'm looking for him...

will you help me?

Get your team to fill in for me...

and l'll step in for them...

as a cop.

lfyou want,
l can figure something out for you...

Really?

What can you do for me?

l suggest you keep
your beautiful eyes open...

l don't know where Shashi is...

he's probabIy in a drunken haze
drowned in somebody's arms...

but how Iong can he stay submerged...

sooner or later
he'll have to surface.

Shashi is playing
a big game this time...

it involves millions.

So, tell the cops...

to arrest him and
chop his balls off!

No, it's time for my payback...

l've done enough dirty
work for him.

Shashi won't do anything for you.

He better.

He owes me.

l want to ask you something.

l need you to be sober
when l say this...

l need to be drunk to do my job.

Ask me...

Nirmala...

lf l hit the big time...

and make lots of money...

will you marry me?

Did the cops hit you
on your head?

Come on, answer me...

will you come with me?

Stop building these castles in the air.

l'm a whore and l'll always be one...

and you'll aIways be
a whore's lame son!

Stay away from Shashi's rackets
ifyou want to stay alive...

Mom, can we go for a walk?

Okay.

Karan...

wait... don't go...

Dada...

Let's play checkers instead.

Alright!

Who wants red?

- l...
- l!

- Mom, can we go for a walk?

- Okay.

Karan...

wait...

l'll come with you.

- Mom, can we go for a walk?

l'm Karan Shekhawat...

l need your help.

Can you call my mom and dad?

l want to talk to them...

their names are Roshni and Surjan.

Please tell them,
l want to talk to them.

l'm Karan Shekhawat...

l want to talk to my mom and dad...

Concentrate, my dear.

l am here to speak to Karan...

Can the spirits help me reach Karan?

l am here to speak to Karan...

Can the spirits help me reach Karan?

l am here to speak to Karan...

Can the spirits help me reach Karan?

Hello mom...

l'm right here with you...

l'm happy that
l'm speaking with you.

Thank you, mom.

Please tell dad that...

l really want to talk to him...

l know you and dad are sad
because of me.

l am always with you...

Please don't cry, mom.

l want to see you smiIing
Iike this always.

l can sense you are Ionely...

no fun with the wife
anymore.

Am l right?

l knew you would be back...

everyone gives in to my charm...

how would you escape?

l am not here to play
games.

Then, why are you here?

Do you know Shashi?

l suggest you keep
your beautiful eyes open...

l don't know where Shashi is...

he's probabIy in a drunken haze
drowned in somebody's arms...

- What is it?

Some creep tied stones to a girl's body
and threw it in the sea.

But how long can he stay submerged...

- The body did not
surface for four days.

Sooner or later
he'll have to surface.

Have you sent it for post-mortem?

No, sir, we're trying to
get identification.

- What did you just say?
- Sir!

A girl's body has
surfaced in Mahim Creek...

the killer tied stones to her body
before drowning her.

She was killed four days ago.

Devrath!

Send Shashi's photo and description
to all morgues and hospitals...

immediately!

- Last evening at approximately 8:30...

- a clean shot through the head...

- the killer was at a distance
of almost 300 metres.

- The shell casing and gunshot wound
prove that a .315 calibre rifle was used.

- Definitely a professional hit.

- We got these keys from his pocket,
of a room at the GoIden Eyes hotel.

We recovered these things
from his room...

he had checked in as Krishna Nair.

He didn't have anything
apart from his cIothes...

nothing to identify him.

Why is this so heavy?

When your time comes...

there's nothing you can do about it.

What's with the long faces, guys?

Shashi bhai is dead.

What?!

What rubbish?

lt's true, he is dead.

Someone shot him
last evening at the Mahim carnival.

But what was Shashi
doing at the carnival anyway?

Shashi, you better Iisten to me...

stop calling me over and over again.

l told you that
you'll get the money tomorrow.

Come to the Mahim carnival
at 8 pm tomorrow.

You ask too many questions...

are you a lawyer?!

So, you really met him last night?

l thought you were bIuffing.

Shashi is into something big...

he took 2 million
from Armaan Kapoor.

Did Shashi have a green bag?

Did he?

l don't want to go back to that Iife...

Sorry, Mallika.
Madam is caIIing you.

Shashi paid her for me...

Move it.

- Shashi paid her for my freedom...

- tell them Shashi paid her
for my freedom...

- Tehmur!

Armaan Kapoor?

Shashi bhai...

Come in, doctor...

the bleeding hasn't stopped.

- Shashi, she needs
to be taken to a hospital...

- No, no hospital...
fix her up here...

lfyou ever say a word about this...

l will break your face.

Get it?

Shashi bhai, thanks for the payback.

We had to report to the income-tax department
because the 2 million was in cash.

You'll have to apply for a refund.

How did Armaan know...
that guy Shashi?

l'm afraid l still don't know.

Why was he bIackmailing Armaan?

Sonya, he said he doesn't know.

You think it's possible that...

Armaan was using prostitutes?

Sonya, please...

l want to know the truth.

l'm not really sure...

but, yes it's possible.

Hello?

l'm Shashi's friend.

Excuse me.

Who is this?

- l just told you!

Remember Shashi?

You called him to the carnival...

and you killed him.

l'm in a meeting right now...

let me caII you back
in some time.

Please, don't bother...

l'll call you back in an hour...

you better answer
or you will regret it.

Okay.

He's taken the bait!

Jackpot!

Who would have thought
you were so smart, Tehmur?

Tell me...

l want five million.

What?

What for?

To keep your secret safe.

What are you talking about?

Listen to me,
don't waste my time.

Okay then,
you'll hear from the cops...

once they get Shashi's phone SlM
and the DVD.

- lfthat's not good enough...

l know about the girl too.

l'm in troubIe, dad.

lt's a real mess.

What is it?

Armaan and l...

some people have been
blackmailing us.

What?

Who are these peopIe?

Do you remember Nikhil's accident?

Of course.

He didn't fall from the balcony
of our Juhu bungalow...

l lied to you.

Actually, he fell off a moving car...

it was an accident, dad.

How come you're home so earIy!

Are you complaining?

Suri!

Do you have to go back?

No.

Then let's go out.

Where?

Let's go for a movie...

and then we'll eat out...

Please, Suri... come on...

Please!

l couldn't stop laughing!

How did you like the film?

l was watching you, actuaIIy...

it's good to see you happy.

Thank you, Roshni...

For seeing the therapist...

l know it can't be easy for you...

but l think it's really helping you.

- Hi Roshni aunty...

- Samar!

What brings you to Mumbai?

My cousin is getting married
next week...

l was going to call you...

Samar's been looking forward
to seeing you.

lfyou're free one evening,
come over...

have dinner with us.

Sure, why not!

How about Friday?

l'm working late on Friday.

What about Saturday?

ActuaIIy, I'm busy all week...

I'm working on a new case,
sorry, l'm really pressed for time.

No problem...

you cops do work long hours.

l can't believe you did that!

They must have felt so bad...

they are our friends, Suri.

That doesn't mean
l have to meet them...

l'm not stopping you
from meeting them.

Every time I look at Samar...

He is onIy a child, Suri...

what happened wasn't his fault.

l know...

the fault was mine.

lt was an accident, Suri.

No, it was negligence...

on my part.

lnstead of keeping an eye on them,
l fell asleep.

So did l...

we didn't know the kids would do
something like that.

Please, Suri.
Don't blame yourself.

You can say
what you want now, Roshni...

but l know how you look
at me sometimes...

But...

l've never blamed you...

l've never thought like this...

But l do... every single day.

Don't...

you mustn't blame yourself...

come on...

let's go in and talk.

No, l've got some work.

Please, Suri.

Suri...

This illness you have ofthe heart

l don't seem to understand at aII

You abandon everything
that's near and dear

And what remains distant
you seem to call

My heart is listless!
Without you.

l don't know why

And l don't know how

There exists an invisible tension

One that tugs

One that leads

One that tugs
One that leads

Me in your direction

l am the mystery

l am that story

That doesn't have an end

Come closer and you shaII see

The distance remains
and is meant to be

My heart is listless!
Without you.

What l haven't been able to unravel

ls the riddle that you are

No one knows the secret

The secret who's friend you are

l smiIe, and hide from the world

How restless l am day and night

It's been a whiIe
since l shut my eyes

Been a while
since l feIt peace inside

My heart is listless!
Without you.

Don't you ever go home?

And when do you sleep?

Hmm?

l need to ask you something...

l'II come back later ifyou are busy.

Look at them staring at us...

They probably think...

l'm picking you up.

How does it matter?

Let me take you to a pIace...

where no one will bother us.

What is this place?

lt's my secret spot...

hardly anyone ever comes here.

lf you can't find me anywhere else...

you'll probably find me here...

lsn't it peaceful here?

Why are you so sad?

What makes you say that?

Fine, you don't have to talk about it.

Let's talk about something else...

how's the investigation going?

l heard Shashi was killed.

l don't know what l am
looking for.

Every clue seems to lead to a blank...

l feel like the answers are
staring me in the face...

but l can't see them.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Did Shashi ever make you meet...

anyone famous?

Meet anyone famous?

You want to know
if I slept with Armaan Kapoor?

Then ask me straight...

l won't be offended...

it's myjob.

The answer is no...

but his friend was a regular client.

And l met Armaan once with him.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

You never asked me.

When was this?

Three years ago...

Armaan wasn't as famous back then...

He came with NikhiI, his friend.

There was another guy with them.

We went for a drive...

That's all.

This other guy...

was his name Sanjay Kejriwal?

l don't know his name...

but l'd recognise him
if l saw him.

What are you doing here, Rosie?

You don't belong here.

l've been waiting for you...

to come along and rescue me.

lfyou want to get out...

l can heIp you.

l know.

But not yet...

there are some things I need to
take care of...

let me get done with that.

And who knows...

someday l might end up
doing something for you.

l have to say...

you're reaIIy different.

Trust me,
you don't belong here either.

How's that?

Well, you actuaIIy care about people...

without wanting anything in return.

Not too many people
like that around here.

Three years ago a friend of mine...

went out with some guys...

She never came back.

No one's heard of her since...

no one knows if
she is dead or aIive...

and no one cares.

l mean, think about it.

A girl just vanishes...

and it makes no difference to anyone.

Did you report it to the cops?

Are you crazy?

l think l should remind you
about the laws in our country.

Prostitution is still illegal.

We don't even exist...

and if we don't exist...

how can we go missing?

Hello, I'm lnspector Shekhawat...

and l'm here to see
Nikhil Deshpande.

He wants to meet Nikhil.

NikhiI...

look, someone's come to see you.

Doctors are not sure
how much he can understand...

He understands everything, l know it.

- He hasn't spoken since the accident.

The profits recorded
went up by 8 percent...

and, this trend indicates that...

there is a substantial growth
in this sector.

And, according to--

Hello?

hoId on for a second...

Guys... l have to take this caII so...

please continue...

Okay, as l was saying...

according to this trend...

l want to meet with you.

You got the money?

Are you listening to me?

l want to meet--

You think l'm an idiot?

l know what happened to Shashi.

l didn't kill Shashi.

l was at the carnival with the money...

waiting for Shashi.

l've been paying him off for years,
why would l have him killed?

l can ruin you in a matter of hours...

What will you get out of it?

Think about it...

- lf you're ready to meet,
l will bring the money...

at a place and time of your choice.

Why are the lights switched off...

Come... Devrath, come in...

This way, Devrath...

Nice house, sir.

Roshni...

Looks Iike my wife is out...

Would you like a drink?

l don't mind...

Whisky, right?

Yes, sir.

Soda or water?

Water, sir...

And ice?

Okay.

Sorry, Devrath...

l think Roshni forgot that
you were coming over for dinner...

she's out for a film
with a friend.

lt's okay, sir.

Hello Suri, how're you doing?

Sorry to disturb your film,
but l need to speak with Roshni...

- l can't get through her phone.

What film?

- Roshni's not with me, Suri.

- ls everything okay?

Yeah... l'm sorry...
I got it wrong...

it slipped my mind, sorry...

Devrath, do you know
where Billimoria lives?

Sir... block-2, ground floor...

What's wrong, sir?

Sir...

Where is Roshni?

She's inside...
you have to wait here.

You can't go in there...

Sir... you can't...

Suri...

l warned you to stay away...

didn't l?

Suri...

stop it...

Have you lost it, Roshni?

What are you doing here?

Karan is dead,
he can't talk to you.

l don't blame you for your anger,
it comes from the pain within--

That's enough!

lfyou can really talk to Karan,
tell him to appear now...

l want to see him...
where is he?

l can't do that.

Only trapped spirits can
manifest themselves in human form...

but Karan didn't have a problem
moving to the afterlife...

he had a smooth passage.

Unbelievable!

A smooth passage?

He was only 8
and he drowned to death!

How smooth is that?

There are many things in this world
that can't be explained.

l didn't choose this life...

it chose me.

- Let's go...
- No, Surjan...

listen to me...

deal with your pain,
or you will attract more of it.

When my husband died,
l was very depressed...

and that's when the spirits
started communicating with me.

Let's go!

Disturbed spirits are attracted to
people in pain...

they feel a kindredness.

- Stop it, Suri, Iet go of me!

Stop it!

Suri!

How could you lie to me?

You hid all this from me?

How can l tell you the truth?
You are never home.

Don't change the subject.

Do you really believe in that stuff?

You're highly educated...
you taught science to kids...

think about it, Roshni,
use your head...

how can you believe this
nonsense?

l don't know what l believe...

but l know she has told me things...

that only Karan knew about.

lt makes me happy...

why don't you understand?

Suri...

Karan wants to talk to you!

You've lost it completely, Roshni.
You need help.

l don't need help...

l need to talk to you...

Can you talk to me?

Can you stay home
one night with me?

Can we live Iike a couple
and not like strangers?

l'II see you later, sir.

Hold on!

You work with him, right?

Are you also out every night?

ls your wife okay
that you never come home?

Where do you go, Suri?

Have l ever asked you?

Who are you with every night?

l know you are
not working...

l know you are with
someone.

l don't know where you go
or what you do...

but it keeps you going...

it makes you happy.

So why can't l do something
that gives me peace and happiness?

See you later, sir.

All couples go through phases...

Suri and you have been through hell...

give it time...
this too shall pass.

l don't think so.

Have you thought about
having another child?

Suri would not hear of it.

l tried bringing it up but...

he didn't want to talk about it.

l think he is having an affair.

What?

No way...

that's impossible...

Roshni, we're talking about Suri.

l asked him straight out...

he didn't even deny it.

What are you doing here?

l had to see you.

Are you falling for me, officer?

l'm kidding!

What do you want to ask me?

Are you...

are you okay?

l am very tired...

Come with me...

come on...

Please don't misunderstand...

l just want to talk.

lf someone says that to me...

l suppose, l should be offended.

Come here...

l won't bite.

This is my wife, Roshni...

and this is Karan...

my son.

Your wife is very beautiful.

Roshni and I were very happy...

What happened then?

Karan...

ls anyone really happy?

Are you happy?

l have my moments.

You can stiII get out of here...
start a new life.

lt's not that simple...

Why not?

You wouldn't believe me,
if I told you.

Try me...

Some other time perhaps...

Can you do me a favour, please?

What?

Remember Mallika?

Shashi's girlfriend?

Yeah...

She is in a mess...

can you help her?

What happened to her?

Close your eyes...

Hey you...

get MaIIika.

Okay, sir.

Where's Mallika?

For today I'm MaIIika...

what do you want?

Police business, get her.

She's out.

CaII her out or
l'II come back with a warrant...

and that will be the end of you.

Who did this to you?

Shashi paid her off for me...

now she denies it...

and is forcing me back to work.

lfyou want to get out of here,
sit in the car.

They won't let me leave...

Don't worry about them...
get in the car.

Trust me...

don't be scared.

Where do you think you're going?

Go stop her!

Come back here...

Let me file these papers.

She is a good woman.

She will help you.

Sir...

thank you.

Don't thank me, thank Rosie...

she told me about you.

Rosie?

Who's she?

She is one of Madam's girls.

l don't know
who you're talking about...

That's how it is with us girls...
today Rosie, tomorrow Jasmine.

That's how we play it.

Sir...

l... lied to you earIier.

Shashi knewArmaan Kapoor.

Shashi metArmaan Kapoor...

on the night of his accident.

Do you know why?

l never meddled in his work.

But, you know what...

you should get hold of
that slime Tehmur...

l'm sure he knows something.

After everything Shashi did for him...

Tehmur... help me...

- The creep didn't raise a finger
to help me.

Tehmur, don't do this...

Shashi was like a brother to you.

- He was trying to steal Shashi's stuff.

What stuff?

lt was a green bag...

which Shashi had got home that night.

Tomorrow morning at 11:15
at Churchgate station, come alone.

- Bring the money with you...

l'II call you with more instructions...

One more thing...

- if l meet with Shashi's fate...

whether you're responsible for
it or not, the cops wiII get the stuff.

Fine.

l've to work...
what is it?

l need your help...

My help?

l can't trust anyone but you.

Hold it!

l don't want to get into any mess.

Nirmala...

lf this plan works out...

you and l can get out of here.

Free as birds...

think about it.

l don't know who is the bigger fool...

you or l...

Tehmur!

Hello?

Listen carefully...

there is a restroom
to your right...

you'll see a blue bag under the basin,
dump the money into it.

- Get it?

Yeah...

- Then head to platform number 4...

the train for Virar
leaves in 5 minutes...

- get into the compartment
next to the first class.

Hurry up, you don't want to
miss the train.

l don't know

And neither do you

At which point

What time wiII choose

ln this gamble called life

What will we win

And what will we lose

Hi darling!

That's a... nice bag...

Who you are working for?

Tell me...

l'II make it worth your
while.

l can give you a lot more.

Listen!

You're making a mistake.

l don't know

And neither do you

At which point

What time wiII choose

ln this gamble called life

What will we win

And what will we lose

Where there is happiness

ln its shadow l reside

And those who smile

Also have a tear in their eye

Wherever you go

Beneath you the same ground wiII Iie

And above you the same sky

l don't know

And neither do you

At which point

What time wiII choose

ln this gamble called life

What will we win

And what will we lose

l need your help...

l can't trust anyone but you.

l don't know who's the bigger fool...
you or l...

Listen...

You have to pretend...

not to know me.

Don't taIk to me...

in fact, don't even look at me.

Corner him!

Catch him!

Where's the money, you jerk!

This guy is operating on his own...

- he confessed everything...

- he worked For Shashi...

and happened to stumble upon this...

- he doesn't even know your name...

- he got your number
from Shashi's SlM card.

Finish him off...

- You will get the rest of your money...

and don't call me ever again.

Did you ever think of me?

Did you... even once?

l haven't done anything...

You claimed to be my friend...

l did nothing...

Over there...
they pushed him...

l will join you on the train.

But if l don't get there...

don't wait for me.

Get on the train,
come what may.

You've got to be on that train, okay?!

Simran...

- He said Simran...
- Simran?

Yes, sir, he said Simran...

and died.

Sir, the hospital called...

that goon is conscious...

we can take his statement,
should l go?

No, l'II go.

Now listen...

you and Rane go to the brothel.

Apparently Tehmur mentioned a 'Simran'
before he died...

Find out who this girl is
that Tehmur knew...

probably one of Madam's girls,
bring her in.

lt's in your best interest to
cooperate with me...

or else,
the lockup is where you'll be.

Sir is talking to you...

Sir!

the patient is still critical.

- Leave the room...
- But, sir...

Let me do my job.
Get out!

Out!

No one can help you now!

lfyou are lucky enough to survive...

here's what will happen.

l'II take you into my custody
and question you...

and l have a way of getting the truth.

Then I'll fiIe a case against you...

for Tehmur's murder...

and l'll make sure you get
the death penalty for killing him.

l guarantee you that.

Tehmur was a key police witness...

and you were caught red-handed.

Think about it...

if you cooperate...

l'll save you from the death penalty.

Tell me, who hired you
to clear their mess?

Ghorpade, take him into our custody.
l think he prefers to be there.

Sir...

the doctor said
he can't be discharged...

Tell the doctor
he didn't say anything Iike that.

l want this man in my custody today.
Do whatever it takes.

Yes, sir.

Gokhale...

get started...

remove these pipes and tubes...

Sanjay KejriwaI!

What?

Sanjay KejriwaI.

Sir, there's no Simran here.

No, sir...

a few girls said there was
someone called Simran...

but she ran away
some years ago.

Where could she have gone?
Someone has to know...

it's possible that
she is still there...

and the other girls are
trying to protect her.

Tell Rane to stay
there and keep looking.

Okay, sir.

- You go to the police station...

and meet me at Sanjay Kejriwal's
bungaIow with a team.

Hurry up!

- Yes, sir.

This way, sir.

lnspector Shekhawat!

What brings you here?

Mr. Kejriwal, l have a warrant
for your arrest.

What?

On what basis?

For getting Tehmur and Shashi murdered.

Babu Tipnis...

you know him already...

He has signed
an affidavit implicating you...

you have to come with us.

Hand over your mobile phone, please.

Now!

Let's go.

Come on, stand up.

- l said stand up!
- PIease...

just a minute.

Can we talk?

Go ahead.

ln private?

l'm afraid not.

He was blackmailing us...

lt all started three years ago.

Armaan, me and our friend, Nikhil...

- were out one night.

l know what we can take to
the bacheIor party...

NikhiI knew Shashi...

- go to Hotel Lido...

Hello Shashi...

- We went with him to Hotel Lido...

- and there we picked up a girl.

l wasn't happy about it.

What was the girI's name?

Simran.

Nikhil started messing
with the girl in the car...

How about a trial...

- What happened next?

l don't know...

- probably the back door
wasn't locked properly...

lt was an accident!

NikhiI!

Shit!

NikhiI!

Be careful...

- Easy...
- Okay...

Armaan, get into the car now!

Sanjay, we can't leave her
in this state...

Dude, you're asking for trouble...

we'll get screwed
because of this hooker.

Get in the car...

- Please!
- Sanjay?

- Sanjay, we can't leave her here...
what if she dies...

Call that guy, Shashi...

Call Shashi, he will handIe it...

Oh God!

Shashi called Armaan a week Iater...

and sent him a DVD...

it had footage from
the security camera at Hotel Lido...

of the three of us
leaving the lobby with the girl.

Shashi told us the girI was dead...

and he had buried her body somewhere.

Where's the DVD?

l know her, she's the one
who has been heIping me.

You mean, she is... alive?

Yes, Mr. Kejriwal,
l've met her several times...

l think Shashi and the girl
conned you.

But sir, if that's the case,
why would she help you?

Only she can answer that.

Devrath,
head to Hotel Lido right now...

she might be there...

she goes by the name
of Rosie nowadays, not Simran...

and inform Rane as well.

Get her to the police
station immediately.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

lf you had informed the police
right at the beginning...

it would've saved many Iives...

probably your friend, Armaan's too.

So much happened...
and all for what?

Look out!

- Sir...

- l think only l can see her...

Have you lost your mind, Shekhawat?

Next thing you'll tell me...
is that you saw a ghost!

Don't misunderstand me...

l and the police department
value you tremendousIy...

but there's talk going on about you
that could ruin your career.

Your subordinates have been saying
that you don't sleep at night...

keep driving all night...

you talk to yourself...

Look at them staring at us...

They probably think...

l'm picking you up.

Why would l lie?

People here don't reaIIy help the cops.

Think about your future, Shekhawat...

if you mention this
in your officiaI report...

you know what's going to happen...

you'll be the laughing stock
of the department.

l think... you should
take a break for two months...

you really need it.

But what about the truth?

The truth is that...

Sanjay KejriwaI decided to end his life
instead of going to jail.

Armaan Kapoor died in an accident
that can only be an act of providence.

And the two men blackmaiIing them...

they're dead.

Case closed!

This is the truth and this
will go as your official statement.

Am l clear?

Yes, sir.

Good.

What are you doing here, Rosie?

You don't belong here.

l've been waiting for you...

to come along and rescue me.

No, Surjan, listen to me...

deal with your pain,
or you will attract more of it.

Disturbed spirits are attracted to
people in pain...

they feel a kindredness.

l can take your pain away.

Some people can talk to spirits...
l have read such things happen...

Think about it, Roshni,
use your head...

how can you believe this
nonsense?

There are many things in this world
that can't be explained.

You can stiII get out of here...
start a new life.

lt's not that simple...

Why not?

You wouldn't believe me,
if I told you.

Let me take you to a pIace...

where no one will bother us.

lfyou want,
l can figure something out for you...

Really?

What can you do for me?

l knew you would be back.

Only trapped spirits can
manifest themselves in human form.

lf we don't exist...

how can we go missing?

Three years ago a friend of mine...

went out with some guys...

She never came back.

l mean, think about it.

A girl just vanishes...

and it makes no difference to anyone.

What is this place?

lt's my secret spot...

hardly anyone ever comes here.

lf you can't find me anywhere else...

you'll probably find me here...

Why don't you understand, Suri?

Karan wants to talk to you!

And who knows...

someday l might end up
doing something for you.

Hello dad, l miss you...

l know you miss me a lot too...

What happened that
day was not your fault...

it was my fault, dad...

l am sorry.

There was nothing
you could have done to change it...

this is what l had to tell you...

Please don't blame yourself...

because that makes me very sad.

Please don't fight
with mom because of me.

l can never be happy
if both of you are so unhappy.

Dad, do you remember telling me...

that you always wanted
to see me happy?

l know l can count on you
to make everything okay...

because you are the
best dad in the worId.

The worId may say

You are gone

But you are here

You are right here

The worId may say

You are gone

But you are here

You are right here

ln my every thought

Every word spoken

ln my every feeling

My every emotion

There is only you

You are everywhere

The worId may say

You are gone

But you are here

You are right here

The worId may say

You are gone

But you are here

You are right here

You never reaIIy left my side

You hold my hand even today

No matter what the destination is

You wiII be my feIIow traveIIer

All the way

The worId may say you are gone

But you are here

You are right here

The worId may say you are gone

But you are here

You are right here
