Tahkhana Page #3

Synopsis: A dying Thakur Surjeet Singh bequeaths the entire estate to his son, Raghuvir, disowning the other, Dhurjan, the family's black sheep, who also indulges in black magic. The latter swears to use magical powers to usurp the estate, and even arranges the abduction of Raghuvir's daughters, Sapna and Aarti. Mangal and his men manage to apprehend Dhurjan, imprison him in a dungeon, and rescue Aarti. However, they are unable to locate Sapna, and Raghuvir gets killed. Before dying, he informs Mangal that Sapna has one of two pieces of a locket around her neck, while the other is on Aarti's, and when joined together will reveal the location of a treasure buried in a dungeon. 20 years later, Aarti and her boyfriend, Vijay, along with several others, will attempt to unearth this treasure - not realizing that they not only face betrayal from one of their own, but will also release and fall prey to an ageless and indestructible entity.

Okay, I'll ask then

There's a girl looking for work

Mona, you know very well

there's no vacancy here

Hey, hold on. Send her in

Right

Shakaal, you're very fond of girls,

right?

Who knows how desperate she is

Are you the owner?

Please have a seat

- Have you worked before?

- No, sir

- So what can you do?

- Anything

- Anything?

- I mean, any kind of work

Can you dance?

I used to dance at college

This poor girl is in trouble

We should help her out

I don't have a lot of money

But I want you to have it

- But...

- No buts. Just take it

Okay, but you'll have to

agree something for me

Take this locket.

Keep it until I pay you back

It's beautiful.

Where did you buy it?

- From my father

- Are you crazy?

You can't give this away

This is your father's gift,

I can't take it

I'll never forget your kindness

Aarti...

I've found your sister!

I told you I'd find her for you

one day

Here's her photo

In the papers... take a look

Is this really her?

My sister's photograph...

See that locket

around her neck?

It's like the one you've got.

But the other half

Looks like it

But where is she?

Wouldn't you like to know

Tell me, Anand, please

She's a dancer

in a Bombay hotel

A cabaret dancer?

Then it should be easy to find her

Shakaal has a hotel in Bombay.

He can help us

I want to go to Bombay today

What do you want?

You're in trouble

and I want to help you

But, why?

I don't like to see unhappy ladies

Here's the price of a smile

Am I really so bad?

Get out or I'll scream

Go ahead

No-one here will come to help you

So scream

You'll be sorry for this

A thousand rupees

for one single smile

This map is incomplete

The other half of it

is inscribed on another locket

Aarti's sister, Sapna,

has that locket

You didn't tell me

you were coming to Bombay

Anand found Sapna's photo.

Look...

she's wearing the same locket

This girl is a dancer and

came to Bombay in search of a job

I know her

She came here looking for a job

But we didn't have anything for her

So...

do you know where she went?

I don't know that, but she was

desperately in need of money

So she sold the locket

to a girl here

- She sold it?

- Don't worry, I bought it

I've got it here.

I'll go get it now

Now we've found the locket,

we'll find Sapna too

Oh, you'll get a locket, alright

But not the original... a fake one

I'll keep the original

You'll search forever

in that dark dungeon

Whilst I go off

and claim that treasure

This is all a bit weird.

We go to Bombay to find Sapna

She sells the locket to Shakaal

and leaves

Yes, but I'm sure

we'll find Sapna soon

At least now we have

the complete map of the treasure
