The Omkar Nath Special.

These special pieces

are used only at parties.

So why today?

Because we're partying today.

Today, you've become my friend.

Ask how?

How?

For the first time today...

You didn't call.

Just rang the doorbell. At midnight!

Now, the rules of this game.

If your pawn dies,

you take a shot from it!

Pick it up.

Come on!

Let's raise a toast.

To our friendship!

You know, nothing can beat

sitting in a Russian bar...

with a Russian woman

and drinking Russian vodka!

Ever been to Russia?

No.

Me neither.

Make your move, Panditji.

Save your Knight.

This is getting bad.

This reminds me of a poem...

There's no escaping the final sleep

Then why, in worry, stay awake?

So far from myself I stand,

I don't feel my own heartache

Aah! You knew this one!

From Ghalib to Shakespeare, I

memorized everything... for Ruhana.

I'll work some magic...

to win back your queen of hearts

Checkmate!

You're a quick learner. You won.

No. You won.

This game was about drinking.

Lose pawns, drink vodka!

I only lost a couple.

But your entire army went down.

Now you know

the Omkar Nath Special.

In this game...

you win by losing.

Yes?

Panditji?

We're doing a play

my daughter Nina wrote.

Your daughter,

Noorie, was to play the pawn

I'm sure you remember.

I hear dancing is your passion

If you come and teach

dance to the kids...

it'll make Noorie

and Nina happy.

I'm sorry. I can't.

Ruhana, there's one more

mother here who has lost her child.

Her daughter is alive,

but has stopped living.

What you and I have suffered...

Do not inflict that on your mother.

Don't kill her daughter.

Go, my child.

Hi!

Maybe you can help me.

I'm looking for Nina's friend.

Nina told me to look for

the quietest girl in the school.

She said that's her friend, Ruhi.

Do you know the quietest

girl in this school?

You seem rather quiet yourself.

What's your name?

Ruhi.

Hi, Ruhi.

Nina often spoke of you...

She said you love to draw.

Ever made a drawing of Nina?

May I?

Wow!

When Nina fell down the stairs,

where were you?

Ruhi, come with me.

Ruhi!

10-minute break.

You blame Daanish

for Noorie's accident.

He blames himself too.

When I visited your child's grave,

I saw him there.

He was pointing his gun...

at himself.

Like this!

Had he succeeded, whom would

you blame for that accident?

My wife, Neelima.

She, too,

was a victim of an accident.

I was driving on the freeway...

with the world's most

beautiful woman beside me.

I was speeding.

And she was laughing.

60 miles per hour...

70... 80... 90...

100... 1 10... 120...

The last sound I heard

was of her laughter.

When Neelima passed away...

I hugged Nina and cried.
