What are you saying. inspector?
For miles around. there are nothing but waves.
Not even a bird in sight. I"ve had a nice time.
But my sources have confirmed the news.
A contract to kill you has already been ordered.
The assassin is Arjun Rai. - To Arjun Rai?
Yes. Mr. khanna. Please return immediately.
Don"t be childish. Inspector. My boat is equipped with radar.
I can sight boats miles away.
Arjun Rai is certainly no fish. He can"t swim so far.
Why do you worry?
A patrol has been placed on alert for your security.
If you think there"s any danger. Mr. khanna. . .
. . .you must inform us immediately.
Hello. Mr. khanna. . . something is wrong ! Let"s go!
There!
Arjun Rai ! Stop! The police are after you.
Don"t move!
You can"t evade the police this time!
You are surrounded ! Surrender!
If you try to escape. I"ll shoot!
This is the final warning !
He must be heading for the harbor. Let"s go.
The dragnet is spread out. You have no chance of escape.
Surrender yourself.
officer. arrest him.
Were it possible to hang a man more than once. this court. . .
. . .would"ve sentenced innumerable times. . .
. . .for here is an assassin who kills without reason.
Whom he has killed was either friend or foe.
Which implies that he is an assassin for hire.
He isn"t human. He is a killing machine.
In the interest of society. . .
. . .this machine should be destroyed.
Therefore this Court denies Arjun Rai his right to live.
This Court orders. under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. . .
. . .that he be hanged till death.
He has escaped ! - Who?
Arjun Rai ! - Convict no. 24.
It took us 8 years to get him. And he escapes in 8 days!
Welcome. Arjun.
Thank you. You saved my face for the first time
Now. you may leave.
These men of law don"t know that you were born to kill.
Arjun is invincible!
Spare me the sermon.
I was waiting to die. But you"ve given me a gift of life.
Why the generosity?
Friendship.
Had you been hanged. I would"ve lost a friend.
Not everyone who shakes my hand is a friend.
Let"s talk business.
You must get the color of my blood on your hands.
No. You wouldn"t kill me. You must kill my nephew.
I"ve always heard of the cruel uncle kanss.
Today I see his true incarnation.
The snake does eat its own !
My nephew must die if I am to live.
It"s a matter related to inheritance of property.
Is he very rich? - More than he should be.
I know how you hate rich people.
My nephew lives in America. You must go there.
To America?
Don"t you forget that you are a convict at large.
The police will hunt you wherever you are in the country.
Where are you going to hide?
Your passport. visa. ticket and other information.
My nephew is Gautam Sehgal.
3 weeks after Diwali. he"s coming to India.
I"d rather have him dead than have him here.
Mr. Jagdish Chopra has sent me here.
Mr. Chopra had told me about you.
In fact. I was expecting you. Please come in.
What can I do for you? - I need a handgun.
only 3? - only one is enough for the job.
I don"t know what kind of job it is.
Can I do anything else for you?
I need a place to live.
There"s Mrs. Talwar. A widow.
She might take you in as a paying quest.
Let me give you her address.
What had happened to your husband?
He had a fatal disease. . . honesty.
What did he do? - He was a courageous journalist.
He wanted to expose the mafia.
one day. he received a call and went out. . .
. . .saying he"d return soon.
Your husband was lucky to have someone to shed tears for him.
"May be I live on for I have none to shed tears for me."
Come. . . let me show you your room.
You read the papers as if you expect some secret. . .
. . .news to come through.
After a long while. I"m cooking " Biryani" today.
No. Radha. I"ll be in late tonight.
There aren"t any flat tyres!
That"s a bullet wound.
Don"t call the doctor.
All right. Let me try to extract it. But. it"s going to hurt.
I"ll bear the pain.
You have courage.
Take rest. The pain will go away like a dream.
A dream. . . I had a dream too.
Nine years ago. . .
Sapna ! My daughter! - Yes. Daddy?
I"m going to the factory. Don"t you go anywhere. - I won"t.
Is the world head-over-heels? or. are you?
I"m all right and you"re topsy-turvy.
And the world is round ! - You"ve got a hole in your head !
What do you mean? - I want to drive the car.
The car doesn"t want to be driven. - Why?
The servicing isn"t over yet. - Do it later. Give me the keys.
The keys! Daddy"s expected soon !
Where are you going? Come here.
Why are you standing there? Sit in the car.
Do you know how to drive a car?
Why would I ask you to sit. had I known?
Goodness!
Drive as you want to. But. please let me off.
- What happened?
Poor fellow. . . just like me!
Please drive slowly. Please! Don"t!
This is fun !
Why don"t I sing a song? - A song?
We two are locked in a car. . .
And you don"t remember how to drive.
And you don"t know how to sing.
Are we alive?
Are we dead?
Then. we must"ve been born again !
You whistle very well. - And you drive the car very well.
Do you want a drive today again? - No.
I want to learn how to whistle. - oh no!
I did what you wanted and got nearly killed for it yesterday.
If I do what you want today. . .
. . .there"s no telling what could happen !
Nothing at all ! And in return. I"ll teach you how to sing.
"our love is immortal."
"We are on a journey of love."
"I consider you my life. oh beloved."
"I won"t get separated from you."
"Then let"s take a vow."
"We won"t get separated till eternity."
"Till yesterday we were strangers for each other."
" But today you are my life."
"Lt seems that you have. . .
. . .given me an identity of all my lives."
"Even if go through a 100 lives. . .
. . .we"ll be together forever."
"Then let"s take a vow. - Then let"s take a vow."
"We won"t get separated till eternity."
"Ln the feeling of love. . .
. . .let"s get lost in it together."
" By drowning ourselves in each other. . .
. . .let"s become a single soul."
"This love shall never decrease."
"We shall never break this promise."
We were carried away by our emotions. We"ve made a mistake.
Today. I have felt the beauty of love.
Why don"t we marry?
No. Sapna. Your father will never agree.
Well then. let"s elope.
How old are you? - 1 7 years.
You"re still a minor!
As a minor. you may do nothing without. . .
. . .the consent of your parents.
Then we have no choice but to wait.
It"s a matter of another 10 months.
By then. I will be an 18-year old.
From this day. January 5. 1977. Sapna is yours.
I"ll become your wife. And we"ll have a small house.
What about kids? - A son. He"ll be naughty like you.
We"ll have a girl. We"ll call her "k omal".
Yes. That"s a nice name.
And my son will be named. . . - No.
There will be no other man in your life but me.
All right. I"ll pray that your dreams come true.
It"s time for Daddy to come home. I must leave.
You"ll come tomorrow. won"t you?
- Yes. Same place. Same time.
"Arjun. meet me at 10 tonight at the temple."
Daddy has come to know everything about us.
He is sending me away to America.
When? - Tomorrow.
No! - Yes!
No! He can"t do such a thing !
He thinks that once separated. we"ll forget each other.
But we"ll show him how wrong he is. Won"t we. Arjun?
In 10 months. I shall be 18. And I"ll become your wife.
Please Arjun ! You"ll wait for me. won"t you?
Yes. I"ll await you every moment of it.
And one day. you will stand before me.
As my bride.
Your hands would be colored with henna.
I will anoint your head with vermillion.
And I shall draw you into my embrace.
Time has come to bid farewell.
But I pray that you forget me not.
My love is for you. for ever. immortal and unbreakable.
I"ve repaired your car. It"s working perfectly.
You can try it out. if you want.
Thanks. your work is great.
No one in Bombay can do better than you.
Sir. . . it"s time I set up my own workshop.
You see. . . I"m getting married in 10 months.
I need to set myself up. to pay for house. . .
. . .wife and children. you know. . .
. . .if you could help me with some money. . .
Here"s your workshop. . . and your family life.
Thank you. Sir. I"ll repay you in 2 years.
What if you can"t repay me?
If I can"t. you hold me in bondage.
Hey! Won"t you go home?
If you work so hard. you"ll fall sick.
I need to make money for setting up a home.
It must be a letter from Sapna ! - Something is surely wrong.
That"s why I"ve come to see you. - What"s up?
Sapna is getting married to someone in America.
You"re telling a lie! - I"ve heard her father myself!
He was speaking to his sister in America.
They were talking about getting her married within a week.
Why have you come here?
To speak about Sapna.
Not Sapna. . . say "Ma"am Sapna".
When is she returning? - She isn"t returning.
In a few days. she is going to get married.
No! - Now get out of here.
Why are you forcing her to marry?
Sapna has consented to the marriage.
That"s a lie! Sapna loves me! She won"t marry anyone else!
Will you come now? or. should I have you thrown out?
I won"t let this marriage happen !
This man is threatening me. Throw him out.
Come along ! - Sapna loves me! She won"t give in !
Get out of here! - She won"t ever concede!
She won"t marry anyone but me!
You"ll see! She"ll definitely come back to me.
Swine! You come in here with a knife!
Did you come here to brandish your knife?
Get out! - No! - out!
I just returned from America yesterday.
I went to your house and your neighbor told me everything.
After you"re released. come and see me.
I came to know that the cops searched my house. . .
. . .and took everything away.
They took away the money you had given me.
Don"t you worry. There"s lot"s more to do.
And lots more to earn.
oh yes. . . I had found this telegram at your place.
Sapna ! I know I could count on your love.
"Do not wait for me. I"m getting married on March 15."
"What colors my loyalty has brought upon."
"oh merciless people. I curse you."
"Why is loyalty repaid by betrayal? "
"oh merciless people. I curse you."
"Here you have washed away all my dreams."
"There you hand will be colored in Henna."
"Here my love will be. . . covered with a shroud."
"There your forehead will be decorated by bindi."
"You have broken the promise of our love."
"oh merciless people. I curse you."
"There you will become someone"s bride."
"Here all my happiness will be loose it"s breathe."
"There. in the seven rounds of marital vows. . .
. . .new relations will be made."
"Here my dreams will be cremated."
"A catastrophe has struck. . .
. . .before the day of Armageddon."
"oh merciless people. I curse you."
"I congratulate you for your bridal gown."
"May your bed be decorated with all the flowers."
"My eyes shall shed drops of tears."
"You"ll be joyous forever in your husband"s arms."
"You robbed me and built a new world for yourself."
"oh merciless people. I curse you."
"What colors my loyalty has brought upon."
It was then that Arjun died. a quiet death.
The one who survived him had no wish to live. nor fear of death.
I had crossed the threshold of pain.
I am Captain Morois. Special Branch. NYPD.
I worked for 10 years in Hindustan and Pakistan. . .
. . .with the US embassy.
I can speak Hindi. Urdu and a bit of Punjabi.
This is astonishing.
These must be his clothes.
He took my chauffeur"s uniform. didn"t he?
This might be the first clue.
Looks like a tall. well-built person.
Possibly. he is an Indian.
What did he look like?
He had covered his face in a scarf.
His eyes. . . it"s as if they were made of stone.
Cold. lustreless eyes.
I wouldn"t see much else. It was dark.
My wife was terrified. she screamed.
And. for a moment. he dithered.
Seizing the opportunity. I attacked him.
He dropped the gun and ran.
I shot at him. - Was he wounded?
Yes. . . maybe.
Couldn"t he have been a thug? - Certainly not.
No robber will plan so meticulously.
I think he was trying to kill you.
You may leave it to us now. We"ll get cracking.
You"ll catch him. won"t you? - If the wound is deep. . .
. . .he"ll go to a hospital.
We"ll check all the hospitals.
"Last night someone tried to kill Gautam in my presence."
"I was so scared that I couldn"t even look at his face."
"Else. I could tell the police what he looks like."
"And they"d find him."
What secret are you penning?
I was about to pen the "secret".
I was thinking about last night. - Forget that.
You"d rather turn your mind to the fact. . .
. . .that we"re going to Hindustan in 3 weeks.
We"ll leave for Bombay immediately after Diwali.
But. I don"t want to go to Bombay.
A girl doesn"t want to go home to her parents. . .
. . .could that ever be?
I"m going out. Radha.
Be careful.
It"s going to be simple.
I"m going over to settle a 9-year old score.
How are you?
Don"t you have anything to say after 9 long years?
Please go away. For God"s sake!
I didn"t come here for God"s sake.
Why should I leave for His sake? No. I won"t leave.
Why can"t you accept. . .
. . .that you"re elated to see me after all these years?
You"re happy. aren"t you?
Yes. But. I"m afraid too.
And how do you feel?
I don"t feel anything at all.
In these 9 years. all my feelings have died a bitter death.
I have only one feeling left.
You.
You should"ve forgotten it all.
Have you been able to forget?
Why have you come here? - To see how you look. . .
. . .now that you"re married.
I am happily married now.
I do not deny having loved you. I did love you.
But I have outgrown my childhood. - So that"s how. . .
. . .you lie to yourself nowadays!
It"s the truth ! Please don"t dig up the past. Arjun.
I live a happy life. Please don"t destroy it.
What of my dreams that you have shattered?
May I take Raju out to the fields?
This is my daughter.
May I take Raju out. Mummy?
Is Raju your younger brother?
No. Raju is my horse.
You are beautiful. Just like your mother.
What"s your name?
Why are you standing there? Go. . . take Raju out.
You didn"t tell me your name.
k omal.
What right had you to steal my daughter"s name?
How treacherous of you !
When you call her by that name. don"t you remember. . .
. . .that Arjun had chosen it for his daughter?
The daughter I was supposed to have fathered !
You sold your body. And you sold my dreams!
only 10 months. You couldn"t wait for just 10 months!
Go away. Arjun. And don"t come back even again.
How can I ever tell you what happened to me.
I came home one night after meeting you.
So you are still seeing that mechanic on the sly.
Don"t you have any regard for your status?
You been with a third rate fellow till midnight!
I love him ! - This is not love.
It"s madness! Foolishness!
I am going to marry him !
You won"t see his face ever again !
Why can"t I? You can"t stop me! - Can I not?! Let"s see.
Till I take a decision. you are going. . .
. . .to stay locked in this room.
I"m sending you to your aunt in the US for 2 years.
By tomorrow morning"s flight.
This is your house from now on.
Didn"t I write to you time and again. to come once to America?
Anyway. here you are. Come on in.
This is a wonderful place. 2 years are going to pass in a trice!
And then you"d tell me that you"re going to stay here forever.
I am not going to stay here for 2 years.
I am here for only 10 months and 1 1 days.
By then. I"ll have become an 18-year old. . . a major (by age ).
"I remember his smile. And I can recall the odor on his body."
You"re still in these dirty clothes! It"s been 3 days now.
I"ve invited some people today. one of them is a special guest.
Now get up. Wash you hair. wear some decent clothes.
Tell you what. Gautam. . . Sapna cooks well. But she sings better.
Will you please sing a song. Sapna?
oh come on. Sapna. Let"s hear you sing.
I don"t quite know how you. . .
But I"m an excellent listener. Try me.
"oh beloved ! "
"I have none of my own except you."
"I have no other dreams in my mind."
"The journey of this life will pass by in loneliness."
"My thirsty eyes are always in search for you."
"Please come and take me in your arms."
"Come to me. my companion."
"My life seems to empty without you."
"This merciless loneliness won"t let me live."
"My restless heart can"t find peace anywhere."
"Now where can I go to? "
"No way! "
"I have none of my own except you."
"I have no other dreams in my mind."
She might be thinking of folks at home.
Your niece isn"t homesick. She"s pregnant.
It"s been 2 months.
"Until now. my heart and soul lay enraptured. . .
. . .in Arjun"s fragrant love."
" But now. his love lives and breathes within me."
"No one can take Arjun away from me. Never."
"I do not have a melodious voice to sing a song."
"Here are some flowers."
"May we meet tomorrow. Please do not refuse. Gautam".
I am not going to marry Gautam. And you cannot force me.
What else are you going to do?
I"m going back. - Where? To Bombay? To your father?
If he gets to know about your child. . .
. . .he"ll kill Arjun to start with.
Besides. we are your guardians here.
You can"t do anything without our permission.
You are still a minor.
Strange. that nature doesn"t think I am a minor.
Nature has already given me the right to motherhood.
There"s a vast different between laws and the nature.
It"s fine if you don"t want to marry Gautam.
But then. you must abort the baby.
Never!
You have no way out if you want the baby.
Marry Gautam immediately. It"s that simple.
Gautam would assume that the child is premature.
Men don"t understand these things fully.
I can"t ever imagine doing anything like that!
I"d rather kill myself.
And you"d kill your baby too.
Please. Aunt! Why don"t you understand?
I understand everything.
May be I understand things somewhat better.
I know that you might dislike what I say at present.
But later on. you"ll understand that this is all for the better.
Don"t let a mistake wreck your whole life.
You should be happy that life is giving you another chance.
Think of your baby. if nothing else.
I won"t stop you if you want to leave. But. consider this.
What if you reach Bombay. and find out. . .
. . .that Arjun has gone elsewhere?
What"d you do?
But. why would he go elsewhere? - He has left already.
I have just received news that he is in prison.
on criminal charges.
I won"t accept that story.
There"s the phone. Ask someone.
of course. I will ! - Go ahead.
Hello aunty. Sapna speaking.
Hello! Sapna !
Where"s Arjun?
Why aren"t you speaking?
Where is Arjun?
He is in prison.
Your son can"t wait for 2 years.
Even the flowers are praising your beauty.
oh ! Could you but hear the flowers speak!
But I have spoken my heart to my friends.
I"ve told my friends that I am marrying you.
No! That couldn"t be!
Why not?! Don"t I measure up to the mark?
I can"t marry you ! Why don"t you understand?
oh. I know what you"re going to say.
That you don"t measure up to me. Isn"t that so?
I don"t care for that. Where there"s will. there"s a way.
But. . . how can I explain this to you?
Well. I have something to tell you.
What"s left for words?! This is a matter of hearts!
Just leave everything to your heart and. . .
Enough ! You are going on and on ! Will you let me have my say?
I can"t marry you. And it"s better for both of us.
I want to tell you that. . .
I have told all my friends and acquaintances. . .
. . .that I"m getting married next Sunday.
All that"s left to be done. is handing out invitations.
Why don"t you try to understand?!
I don"t really understand all this.
You must understand something quite clearly.
If you deny me your love. . .
. . .you"d do it over my dead body! - But you. . .
My daughter"s come in 6 weeks early. . .
. . .because she was eager to meet me.
Your aunt was saying that she looks just like me.
What should we name her?
k omal.
k omal? Yes. She"s k omal. . . my love!
Do you know what you are?
You"re a miracle made of my blood and my breath.
I"m not just your father. From now on. I am your slave.
Did you get hurt? - No. Uncle.
But. this wine wasn"t here yesterday.
Your horse could have. . . - No. You mustn"t blame Raju.
It was my fault. Not Raju"s. And the poor fellow looks so sad.
You must have hurt your leg. Here. . . let me take a look.
Looks like you love Raju the most. - Yes.
No! I love my daddy the most.
Raju was my birthday gift from daddy. It was my fifth birthday.
I see. And. how much do you love your Mummy.
I love mummy too. But she scolds me a lot.
Daddy never scolds me.
He calls me a "kismis" ( raisin ). - Why "kismis"?
Because. he says. I"m small and sweet.
How many people live in such a big house?
Me. Daddy and Mummy. - only 3 people in such a big house?
Yes. - Don"t servants live in too?
Well. there"s Mare. A chauffeur. 4 gardeners. . .
only one chauffeur?
Yes. Daddy loves driving.
Documents for the acquisition of the. . .
. . .okinawa Computer Company are ready.
our lawyers have given the go-ahead.
only your signature is pending.
Have you sent a telex to Reliance?
Yes. A reply is expected shortly.
The investigation report from India has arrived.
Do look up the file before you leave.
I feel there"s something amiss. - Now could that be?!
My uncle is looking after everything himself.
In that case. someone is cheating your uncle.
Hello. What are you doing here?
I"ve come to tell you that. . .
. . .we"ve found out about the handgun.
It was stolen 6 years ago. from. . .
. . .the residence of a lawyer in Chicago.
But we don"t have any records on the interim period.
So the gun isn"t leading us anywhere.
Neither did we get any information from hospitals.
We"ve scanned all hospitals in and around New York.
But no person of Indian origin. . .
. . .bearing a similar wound has been reported.
He might not have been injured then.
He might be attending to his wound at home.
And? - We"ve checked all hotels. . .
. . .to no avail.
No one of the description has been in any of. . .
. . .the hotels around that date.
If we checked motels. maybe we. . .
He probably planned a hold-up.
He could"ve chickened out at the last moment.
I have a feeling. I won"t see him again.
I don"t think so. I presume he"s hiding somewhere. . .
. . .nursing his wound.
As a precaution. I"ll post some guards around your house.
It"s my duty. sir.
Don"t you say a word !
Why haven"t you done what I had asked you to?
I didn"t know I"d slip up. And I"m not getting a chance!
Try hard enough. and you could find God !
And you aren"t getting a ""chance"" !
The target is right in front of you !
Why aren"t you shooting yet?
There is someone who can lead me to my quarry.
Don"t worry. Mr. Chopra. Everything is going to be alright.
Hi. Uncle! What are you doing here?
I"d come to see how your foot is faring.
Perfectly all right. - Looks like it.
How are you going home? - In the school bus.
Come along. Let me drop you home today.
Doesn"t you father pick you up from school?
No. He comes home quite late from work. Why do you ask?
I have brought a special gift for your father from Hindustan.
Will you give it to him? - Yes.
What"s in it? - A special watch.
When your father is alone. you must slip it to him quietly.
You mustn"t open it. Understand? - All right. I won"t open it.
And. I"ll give it to Daddy tonight.
You"re a smart girl. What d"you want to be when you grow up?
A racing driver. I"m crazy about driving.
But Daddy says I"m yet too young.
But I"m not too small. am I? - Not at all.
You talk like a grown-up!
Right! Take yourself for example.
I feel we"re of the same age. Isn"t that so?
And how old are you? - Why don"t you say?
We aren"t lesser than 7 years of age.
And definitely. not more than 8.
I am 9 years old. - How could that be?
You must have counted wrong. - You can count it.
I was born on october 1. 1977.
"From January 5. 1977. Sapna is yours."
"We"ll have a girl. We"ll call her k omal."
That makes it 9.
What"s the matter. Uncle?
Nothing. dear. I"m slow at counting. I was adding the years.
You are 9 years old.
How did I make such a mistake?
You won"t remember this. But. I"ve met you long ago.
Really! When?
Even before you were born.
Your eyes are watering.
You must have a cold. Come. let me dab your eyes.
Can I keep the handkerchief? - All right.
Let"s make a deal.
I"ll teach you how to drive.
Really? Will you really teach me?
on one condition.
You mustn"t tell your parents that we"ve been meeting.
Shall we leave now? No. Let it be.
I"ll give it to your father myself.
It"s no more something you can do.
She is my daughter! She was born. . .
. . .7 months after Sapna"s marriage. I can feel it in my blood !
9 months before that day. Sapna was with me!
Yes! k omal is my daughter!
Don"t weep. Arjun. - I weep not over my lot.
I weep for what I have lost. - What have you lost?
My daughter"s childhood.
For 9 years. I have been her father. And I had not an inkling.
I was bent upon distinction. . .
. . .while my daughter blossomed and flowered.
That which was mine by right. . .
. . .my joys. . . were bestowed upon my rival.
oh. what has come upon me! I had forgotten how to weep!
I don"t know. But. I won"t let. . .
. . .a tear spill from my daughter"s eyes. while I am alive.
This I promise.
"I"m crazy for you."
"The whole is fragrant with your aroma."
"I know about it. But you still don"t."
"There are flowers and sceneries."
"Lt"s most valuable in the world."
"He"s my favorite. Guess who? - Who? "
I"m exhausted. Uncle. May I lie down on your lap?
"Lt seems I found the whole world when I found you."
"With your smile the heart blossomed."
"I got a reason to live when I got you."
"Lt seems I found the whole world when I found you."
"My every breath sings your song."
"I"m you life"s story."
"This is an old bond of love."
"Lt"s very difficult to forget you."
"I"ve no regret for being a stranger."
" But yet I"m not separated from you."
"Even this much of happiness if enough for me."
"I"ve no regret for being a stranger."
"Don"t forget this song of mine."
"I"m crazy for you."
"The whole is fragrant with your aroma."
"I know about it. But you still don"t."
What should I reply to Mr. And Mrs. Zubin Mehta?
We"re received an invitation to the opening. . .
. . .of their concert next Saturday evening.
We"re going to be in Hindustan next Saturday.
Never mind. Send a bouquet. - okay.
Excuse me now. I have a busy schedule today.
Do finish your breakfast. - No time. I"m late.
A call from Hindustan for you.
Ask them to call me later at work.
Well. . . hold on. I"m coming.
Go on. Sharma. - There are lots of problems. . .
. . .in your tea estates.
Everyday. 2 or 3 truck loads of tea are being. . .
. . .stolen from the godowns.
The accounts are in a mess. - Who"s responsible for all this?
Listen. . . never mind. . . I"m coming over in 10 days.
Is everything all right? - Don"t worry. Let"s go.
Would you dismiss that as an attempt to rob you?
Someone kept a time bomb in your car.
But. you"ve escaped once again.
Lucky for you that only your. . .
. . .briefcase was in the car. . . not you.
But. he"ll try again. He might succeed at the 3rd attempt.
I don"t know what I should do. Morris.
I can"t understand the thing.
I want to try an experiment. . . and there"s no other alternative.
I presume your chauffeur Shera had a good look at him.
With Shera"s help. we can draw a sketch of the person.
There"s a possibility that either you. . .
. . .or Mrs. Sehgal could identify him from the sketch.
My daughter is a genius! She has ranked first in every subject.
This is the only thing in which she"s unlike her Dad.
What could poor Daddy do? He never went to school.
Here. . . take a look.
The highest marks. . . my daughter!
I"ll see you later.
Where are you going? Don"t go in !
I must return after I"ve taken care of this.
Welcome. Arjun. I was waiting for you.
Which means that you had wired Gautam"s car.
What else could I do? I thought you"ve chickened out.
I haven"t. I changed my mind. - one and the same thing.
I hereby release you from my serfdom.
I"ll find someone else to work on Gautam.
No one kills Gautam.
From now on. I"m protecting Gautam.
That"d make things difficult.
That"s right. . . difficult for you.
Sit down. . . Do sit.
We"ve known each other for a long time. haven"t we?
You"ve trusted me. And I"ve trusted you.
What"s your problem? - I don"t have any problems.
What is it then? - The problem is yours.
I don"t know why you quarrel with Gautam.
Neither do I want to know.
Gautam has a family. . . a wife and a child.
The bullet that kills Gautam. will also destroy her childhood.
We didn"t consider this aspect.
Am I dreaming?
Arjun Rai. the assassin. transformed into a kind-hearted person?
How much did you sell out for?
You can never give me the price I"m getting.
What if he speaks? - He won"t. He"ll stay mum.
Because I can send him to a place where everyone turns silent.
This sketch will reach every police station. . .
. . .in New York by this evening.
If this fellow locks himself up in his house. . .
. . .we"ll be quite helpless.
Else. he"ll be nabbed soon.
That apart. my men will take this sketch. . .
. . .to all hotels. lodgings and Indian neighborhoods.
What if he changes his appearance?
That happens in stories only.
How far can a person hide his appearance?
Besides. he hasn"t had time to grow a beard.
The ace with us is this sketch.
He doesn"t know we have it.
Why then should he bother about. . .
. . .changing his appearance?
But. from today. you"ll have a bodyguard.
That"s for your security.
What happened at the police station?
Do they know anything or don"t they?
Not yet. They"ve drawn up a sketch with Shera"s help.
I have a copy.
All the police do is draw sketches while he roams free.
He has struck twice!
Why are you worried?
I"m going to have a bodyguard with me 24 hours a day.
That doesn"t mean that the police can relax.
He should be caught at the earliest and hanged.
Shera was saying that the sketch is an exact replication.
Here"s my killer.
I haven"t seen him ever.
I just don"t know what he has against me.
Do you know who he is?
No. . . I used to know someone who used. . .
. . .to look somewhat like this.
Who is he? What"s his name?
It was a long while ago. . .
sometime during my childhood.
I can"t recall the name.
Hide it away. k omal might be scared if she saw it.
Yes. You"re right.
Will he be hanged if he is caught?
Depends on whether he gets me before he is caught.
Why have you turned serious all of a sudden?
We shouldn"t have had any secrets between us.
Secret? - How could you. . .
. . .keep such a secret from me?
What secret? - Isn"t it bad for a husband to. . .
. . .have to hear things about his wife from others?
Who told you? - Your aunt.
Why didn"t you tell it to me in all these years?
I didn"t want to keep it a secret.
How far did aunt tell you? - To the extent that. . .
. . .you are a very. . .
. . .good kathak dancer.
Hearing that. I decided that you must give a performance. . .
. . .on the annual day of the Indian Association.
But. you"re shivering. And your hands are freezing cold.
What"s up?
I was just joking. It"s an old habit and you know it.
I can"t help myself. can I? Now come on !
Get out of my way. Arjun.
Anyone else in your place would"ve been dead by now.
You"ve been kind to me.
But there"s a limit to honoring obligations.
The limit has been reached here and now.
Now please leave. And drop the idea of killing Gautam.
What if I don"t drop the idea?
In that case. I"ll kill you.
And you know. more than anyone. . .
. . .how easy it is for me to kill.
All right. You win. I lose.
And I"m going away.
on behalf of the Indian Association of New York. . .
. . .l"d like to request Mr. Gautam Sehgal to come on stage. . .
. . .and garland his wife as a token of appreciation.
Look! There he is! - Up there!
Strange assassin ! He"s helping the cops.
He missed me a third time!
And the great American police have no idea who he is!
We have come to know who he is.
We had sent the sketch to Hindustan.
A complete file on him has been received in return.
He"s a killer. A hired assassin.
A dangerous murderer.
After about for 8 killings. he was sentenced to hang.
But he broke out of prison.
Now we know that the police in Hindustan. . .
. . .are also looking for him.
His name is Arjun Rai.
Tell me how I have harmed him !
You"re going to Hindustan
aren"t you?
Till you are in this country. your safety is our concern.
Now take my advice and don"t step out of the. . .
. . .house for 3 days.
And I shall personally escort. . .
. . .you aboard the flight. Till then. . .
Till then. I"m at the mercy of Lord above.
You know all ! Where"s Chopra? - I don"t know!
Tell me! - I don"t know!
I"ve told you ! I know nothing !
I"ll count up to 3.
I won"t tell you !
one. - No!
Two.
All right. I"ll tell you.
on the day of Diwali. Sehgal House will be blown up.
Where were you so many days?
Have you forgotten me?
That"d be impossible.
You have my Report Card. I need it. We"re going to India.
I"ll get it tomorrow or the day after.
But before that I must discuss something important with you.
Sorry. Uncle. I"m late by 9 minutes.
You"re only 9 minutes late. k omal. I"m late by 9 years.
9 years! But how could you get so late?
I was a new pilgrim. I had lost my way.
Have you brought me anything to eat? I"m hungry.
I"ll get it right away. - Never mind.
I"ve stayed hungry many a times.
Are there policemen at home? - Yes.
And in the stables? - No. There"s no one there.
In that case. let"s go there.
I"ll walk it from here. You can go on.
There"s an old room up there.
You can hide in it. No one goes there.
This place will suit me fine.
Arjun ! He"s here!
What am I going to do?
I must talk to him.
Why do you want to kill my husband?
If you hold a grudge. it"s against me.
Take your revenge on me!
- Gautam is innocent. - I"m not trying to kill Gautam.
Won"t a killer. a convict. lie?
on the first night. I couldn"t recognize you.
But you"ll tell me you weren"t in the car at all !
The second attempt was a bomb.
But. during the third attempt. I saw you clearly.
I was shocked to see you in the car.
otherwise. my aim isn"t to bad.
During the 3rd attempt. I"d gone to save Gautam.
Not to kill him.
You ! To save him?! - Yes.
And may I know what has changed. . .
. . .your heart in just 2 weeks?
Do you reserve the exclusive. . .
. . .right to have a change of heart?
9 years ago. when you were taken away from me. . .
. . .I felt something inside me was torn away.
But one day. sometime. . .
. . .within two weeks time. . .
. . .all my angst and sorrows were washed away.
My wounds were healed and my life stood changed.
All in a moment. . .
. . .when I came to know that k omal is my daughter.
You haven"t betrayed my love. Sapna. You have nurtured it.
our daughter is so beautiful.
She is truly the image of our dreams.
Do you remember?
You haven"t told k omal. have you?
No!
I know that k omal loves Gautam dearly.
If anything happens to Gautam. . .
. . .she will be hurt deeply.
And I can"t bear to see my child weep tears.
So now. it"s my duty to protect Gautam.
But. who is trying to kill Gautam?
If I told you the name. it could spoil everything.
So you know who it is! And you won"t tell me!
Don"t you trust me?
If you have ever loved me.
. . .even for a moment. . .
. . .then trust me now. for the sake of our love.
Yes. . . I do.
Please. go away.
If Gautam gets to know you. . .
. . .he will kill you !
In that case. I must take this chance.
If that"s what it is. there"s no way out. . .
. . .of this mess but to tell Gautam the truth.
Which truth? - The truth about us. About k omal.
No. Sapna ! You mustn"t!
Gautam won"t forgive you ever!
That"s a chance I must take.
Have you ever wondered why fate played so dirty with us?
We had only loved each other. Was that a crime?
I try not to think of it anymore.
I know what my crime was.
My poverty was my crime.
No. Arjun ! The crime was mine! For I was only 1 7 then.
My uncle! Here is America !
oh no! Uncle! You simply won"t change!
It"s the plundering who really enjoy life!
That reminds me.
What"s this about plundering my tea estates in India?
Every day I get these calls about. . .
. . .truckloads of tea being stolen.
Who might be the culprit? - It"s been biting me for sometime.
Could it be an inside job?
If my nephew is saying so then I"ll be careful.
I"ll stay alert.
Just so good you came in. Gautam. I was waiting for you.
I want to tell you something. - Go on.
Are you listening to me?!
What?
I"m going to show you something that"ll amaze you.
This was found in Arjun Rai"s room.
See what"s inside the envelope.
How did all this happen?
Where is k omal?
My love! Do you know how much your father loves you?
oh no. You don"t know.
My large heart isn"t large enough. . .
. . .when it comes to loving you.
Have you been seeing anyone without letting me know?
Do you know this man?
Don"t tell me a lie. k omal !
Then what are you doing in these photographs with him?
This man has tried to kill your Daddy thrice.
If you want him to kill your
that"s just as well !
But Daddy. . . Uncle Arjun wants to save your life.
Is that so? - Yes.
Come here.
How did you meet him? - Here. In our greenhouse.
In our greenhouse? - Yes. I"d gone to ask Mummy if. . .
. . .I could take Raju out to the park. He was talking to Mummy.
To Mummy?! - Yes.
"oh Goddess Laxmi. you are the greatest."
I worshipped you like a Goddess.
I want to tell you something. Gautam.
I had loved someone before I married you.
You didn"t betray me by loving someone. . .
. . .else before we married.
How are these things relevant now?
Before I married you. . .
. . .I was pregnant.
Is k omal not mine?
Is my k omal not mine?
Is my kismis ( raisin ) not mine?
My doll ! Am I no one to k omal?!
Am I no one?!
You are her Daddy!
She isn"t mine! She isn"t anyone else"s.
She"s only yours!
Parenthood isn"t a matter of only a right of love.
A father he is who rears," who teaches. . .
. . .the child to take the first step.
And who has done all that for k omal? You have!
No one but you has any right to k omal.
k omal is yours. Gautam. only yours!
Who is k omal"s father?
No! Not that now!
He"s Arjun. isn"t he?
I can feel your pain. Gautam.
Where is he now?
He doesn"t want to kill you. Believe me!
He wants to save your life.
Whom does he want to save me from?
From you?! From k omal?!
Where is he?
I cannot change what has happened.
But today. you must choose one of us.
Either your daughter"s father.
Your husband.
He"s hiding in the stables.
There is no one here.
I hope he hasn"t gone to the house. Let"s go!
Please give me some more offerings.
But you just took some. - I want some more.
For whom? - For my friend.
Call your friend in.
You friend could pay obeisance to the Goddess.
How can my horse come in here?!
Now I understand ! Here you are.
May you be happy.
Here"s where the law ends. And I start!
Why have the lights gone out?
Maybe the fuse has blown out.
A burning smell. . . could the house be on fire?!
All the wires are burnt. The phone isn"t working !
Get the servants out of the house.
Make sure no one is left behind.
How did it happen?!
The house is on fire! Get out with k omal ! Hurry!
Is anybody here?!
The fun starts now.
A bit of heat to smoke the rat out of the hole.
Somebody! Gautam !
k omal is stuck in the mains room. It"s a fire!
You ! - Later! Save the child first!
Hurry! There"s no time to think!
We"ll have to break it open together.
She"s calling for you. Gautam !
Give her an answer.
Don"t cry! We"re coming in.
We"re breaking the door down and coming in.
My daughter!
My darling ! k omal ! Are you all right?!
I had no idea that Daddy"s uncle is such a bad man !
He"s the one who locked me up. - My Uncle?! - Yes.
The child is saying.
And it"s time you see the truth about your uncle.
You"re a snake in the grass!
Yes!
You may breathe your last
Gautam Sehgal.
Your death is come.
No. Arjun !
No! Arjun !
No!
You aren"t hurt. are you?
You aren"t hurt badly. are you?
I"m tired. dear.
Can I lie in your lap for some time?
You"re all right. aren"t you?
Now I"m fine.
Uncle! open your eyes!
Please open your eyes!
k omal ! My daughter!
I"m going away from you.
No!
Don"t forget me!
My love for you is true.
"Don"t ever shed tears for me."
"You have to swear by me don"t be disheartened."
"Always be happy."
"Always keep smiling."
"Don"t ever shed tears for me."
"Even if I die then fulfill this promise."
"Fulfill this promise! "
No!
