Calm down.

Please sit down.

One at a time.

y es, your question.

How did the tribals get

such sophisticated arms?

We're investigating that.

But l assure you...

l'm not going to spare

the people responsible.

lnnocents were slaughtered.

What guarantees it won't

happen again?

l'm concerned too.

But l assure you it won't

happen again.

The Mumbai Police Crime Branch

is investigating this case.

y ou're late, Major Beg.

l have good news.

The papers in Hindustan

are full of news.

Of our success.

Who did all that?

There's someone.

Called Biran.

And what was his grouse?

None. We cooked up some.

That's our mandate.

Find the disgruntled elements.

And help them.

Give them guns. And money.

Let them get used to it.

This is war.

And this war we have to win.

By the way, where is

this Chandrapur?

Here's Bombay.

And Chandrapur is here

on the border of...

Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.

Up early?

Actually, you shouldn't

be staying here.

What?

The case has been

transferred to Mumbai.

So what? For a couple of days...

they'll shout themselves hoarse

in the legislature.

And everything will be

all right.

Not this time.

Biran's attack has

raised a furore.

So what am l to do?

Did l do anything?

People from the Crime Branch

in Mumbai are here.

They might come here too.

y ou better slip away.

These specially assigned

people... you never know.

lf they get their hands on you

l won't be able to do a thing.

How far to the police station?

Nearby. He'll escort you.

Go to the police station.

Take up the case papers.

So you know lnspector Salim

in Mumbai?

y es, sir.

He is all praise for you.

And you're so humble.

l haven't a say.

Bala Thakur is the man behind

everything that happens here.

Bal Thakur? Who is that?

- The don in these parts.

The are so many complaints

against him.

The police don't arrest him?

- He has been hauled up...

so many times. But every time,

the higher-ups call us up.

ln the last three years or so,

he has bought a lot of land...

two wine shops and a huge hotel

in Chandrapur.

lnterrogate him, and you

will know the whole game.

Where does he live?

- Nearby.

Crime Branch, Mumbai.

Where is Bala Thakur?

Gone out.

- Out?

Wait...

No one searches

Thakur sahib's house.

Don't. y ou'll regret it.

Don't do this! y ou'll regret it

when the sahib comes back!

y our sahib isn't coming back.

Either he reports to Mumbai,

or he's dead.

Make sure he understands.

Make sure you tell your boss.

Tell him to get to Mumbai.

That's the only way

to save his neck.

Mr. Rathore.

Assistant Commissioner.

Don't let us see him elsewhere.

l told you not

to shout here!

Get down.

- He's getting naughty.

Ajay, listen...

- y es, Uncle?

Would you like to attend

a ghazal concert?

Gulfam Hassan is performing.

- Great!

When is it?

- At two this afternoon. Hurry.

Daddy, l'm going to

Gulfam Hassan's concert.

Mummy, here's your bread.

l'm going out.

Where to?

- l'll have lunch later.

Our guest this evening

is world-famous.

The famous singer,

Gulfam Hassan.

Our guest this evening

is also our host.

He belongs as much to Pakistan

as much as he belongs to lndia.

He spent his childhood here.

And he grew up there.

His ghazals are written there.

But his music belongs here.

May l present

Janab Gulfam Hassan.

Thank you.

l belong as much to Hindustan

as l belong to Pakistan.

My ties to both the lands are

emotional and sentimental.

That is what transcends

all relationships.

ln ghazal, this is what

we call `mohabbat', love.

ln love man transcends

all bounds.

y ou know me, don't you?

No.

Ajay Singh

So?

l want to tell you something.

- Go on.

Here...?

- Why not here?

Can we go somewhere else?

- Why? Just say it here.

We know each other...

No! l mean we don't

know each other so well.

So l wanted to see you.

My bus is here.

They have been threatening.

They have phoned twice already.

Listen to me!

- How much more do l listen?

l'm not letting you go out!

These are terrorists!

Must you stand witness

against them?

Why not? My friends were killed.

My colleagues are deposing too.

But they didn't

get the threats!

Not to worry.

Amar is going with him.

Let's go, Daddy.

lt's time for the court.

Off you go to granny.

Let's go out together.

- Come on.

Do whatever you want!

No one even listens to me!

Stop! Please!

Stop!

Get out!

He comes to the police station

every day!

And he sits on my head!

He drives me crazy!

One of these days,

l'll fix you!

Hey old man, you know him?

- He's my nephew.

lf l see him here ever again,

l'll fix him!

Am l the one who took

your father away?

y ou want all my men to start

looking for your father?

y ou'll be told when he's found.

Now get out of here!

How long are we to go on

living like this?

We are doing whatever

we can do.

Have patience.

Patience.

A car...

What happened to you?!

What have you done to him?

The same that the police

do to us.

We told him not to depose.

Why did he have to?

Now show him to the police.

We treat people who

help the police...

just like the police

treats our people.

Staring at me, are you?

Staring...?

y ou'll end up just

like your father.

Go and tell everyone.

This is what happens...

to everyone who deposes

against us.

Listen to me. We have everything

in Bombay. There's nothing here.

Come with me. To Bombay.
