I'll teach him good & proper'

First pray to Allah Miya...

...that Sunny survives!

If not, I greatly fear...

...that Tayeb will be

charged with murder

And your image tarnished further!

True, I could ask the Commissioner if I'

But hide any facts, &you deal with

RTI (Right to Information)!

I understand sir.

'With Elections ahead'

...one mis-step,

& you're as good as dead!

These are mere tries anyhow.

Okay, I'll take your leave now.

Oh! Do call us if you need anything...

'before the Elections we mean!

Come now, Sabir Saab

your business is mine too!

Let me see what I can do'

Friendship is above any law after all!

Hey you!

Give the Commissioner a call.

If it hadn't been for Grandma, I'd prefer

for Tayeb to stay in the stir.

A real taste of prison..

'Would soon make him see reason!

True

But Tayeb has his uses too.

By the way, Manmohan still won't sell

Even doubling our price didn't jell.

Says the house holds

memories of his mother!

But sell he must, or we're in lather!

Oh go on, Mirza Saab'.!

If the price is right,

anyone will sell!

Not always for money! Well'

'guess you'll know

when you're as old as me

So think of some other strategy!

Surely Manmohan

has some weak spot?

Send someone to find out what!

Who would you say?

Who...

Okay! Okay!

Send Tayeb if there's no other way.

Inside my heart a highway

There you race your jeep

I dare you to stop

when you reach my parched lips

Inside my heart a highway

There you race your jeep

I dare you to stop

when you reach my parched lips

Water, fire, earth or sky -

nothing do I fear

Place your hand in mine

& see where we go from here

My reckless heart is ready to dare

All for your love...

No! No! It's all wrong!

Saala! Same old crossline,

same chords all along!

Sh*t! No new words

no tune with any grit!

Need a great punchline now!

Where's our writer anyhow?

Ah! The gifted one! Wow!

Look Montey, if you come

leave that stuff behind

Those bloody reefers

have you in a bind!

An minus dope? No hope!

You don't touch the stuff

so your punchline has no punch!

This club is for music,

not for getting high!

Stuck for a punchline? Wait...

I love you...

I love you...

jaan qubool!

(on my life I swear)

Write!

My reckless heart is ready to dare

Baby I love you, on my life I swear

Baby I love you, on my life I swear

Jaan qubool!

Yesss!

What's up then?

That f...er is free again!

All of them are f...ers,

who has any class?

Who do you mean?

Tayeb. Bloody ass!

How? The jail

isn't owned by his father!

In a way it is rather!

Saala! Wait till I catch the f...er!

Listen, cut it out!

Just don'! open your mouth!

Sunny almost died then!

Don't you stir up trouble again!

You're the one

who caused it all, bugger!

Insulted his uncle, father, mother'

& here's Rawna, playing it so cool!

Strumming your guitar!

Drop it, fool!

Wait till you get home &

hear your ass split!

I hate my dads job & you know it

What d'you have for brains,

you twit?

You're his f...ing heir!

You'll get it all, you slob!

As they say in English,

'This is not my job!'

You know the business

you take it on.

For Rawna...

it's just guitar and song.

You're bang on there,

Biloo my dear!

Our Romeo here faces

misery, I fear

The Boss is hopping

mad at him I hear!

And you?

Jamming here for 2 days at!

Your dad's on uncle's payroll -

ever think of that?

Hey, don't take his father's name

in vain!

Let him, saala, let him.

It's no f...ing pain.

Saala!

Silence!

Boss says we're in a spot!

27 crates of pot

will be ofoaded soon at the port

If we don't corner

them in time..

...they'll be whisked off by

Tayeb, that slime!

For Mirrorsville slum

to turn to Mirrorsville Tower...

...we must move in fast.

Before the Khans grab power!

Rawna, you must be part of this task!

You know I won't. Why ask?

But where will the slum-dwellers go?

Oh dear...

Somewhere..anywhere...

It's always been so.

Can't we avoid all this, Bro?

Saala!

Such a super marksman!

Yet he chooses guitar over gun!

Aw f... off & be done!

Ya Allah!

How long has this been brewing?

Nearly a month now...

or so she's saying.

Oh great!

She says & you listen?

Some mother you are!

How did she have the guts?

You let her go too far!

Why, her sisters never did

any such thing!

Granny dear...

...the times are changing!

Besides, both live in America now.

Who knows what they're up to anyhow?

Spoil her then!

She always was your pet!

No one will marry her I'll bet!

High-bred Muslim girl,

marked for life!

May Allah forgive!

At least it's just a tattoo.

Not as bad as rings!

Know where they wear those things?

Here.

Here.

Here.

Want to know where else?

Listen carefully'

Shame! Shame! Chhi!

See how tongues wag after this!

Other boys come home at night at least.

And where might our

Young Lord be?

Out on an all-night spree!

Got stuck somewhere may be'

Stuck meaning wham?

Phone off. God knows where he's an!

It's all your fault!

Spoil him some more!

Better stop that dance class of yours!

If only you'd give him some time..

So now the fault is mine?

Haven't I begged you to

stop your business?

Drugs, protection money & the rest?

Madhu, you know very well I can't!

It's a one-way street!

Besides, it's all in a snarl.

Ah, there you are, your Lordship!

Thought suddenly of home?

Parents are just pests.

Who cares if they're alive or dead?

Friends guitar, shows!

Stuck in the same class 4 years in a row!

Can't show our faces in public,

you shame us so!

Stop it. He's just come home'

No, I won't! I've had enough!

Let him...

...learn the ropes,

or I'll throw him out on a limb!

This huge business, who is it for?

You tell your clever son

a genius for sure!

OK I'm off.

Put this away with care

25 K in there

"Will you marry me?'

Amima?

So jaan...

...all ready for the party?

Just ordered the sweets.

Some costumes - two or three -

' aren't ready yet.

Everything else is done.

What about your guest list?

Left out no one?

Left out...?

None.

But there is one special guest...

...and for you, I have a request -

This evening from Dubai,

comes Fame:

Plan a special menu

for him please!

I dream of marrying him to

our Zuleika'

Dream all you like..

...but it's all in the

hands of Allah!

After Julie's wedding,

we'll go for Haj, we two...

'Will your daughter agree?

Must consider that too!

Hear that Julie?

You're to be wedded soon!

What! Hitch me to that

grey-haired buffoon?

Think I'll marry him? No way!

My brain is still working,

eyesight's still okay!

You heard your Dad!

Parvez is the chosen one '

Oh lump it Fami!

Wait and watch the fun!

Abbu & his old-world notion!

Marry off the daughter & go on Haj!

As though it's a magic potion!

But his daughter's dreams

are ready to take wing

She'll y away one day

and stop at nothing

Fly where she's unshackled,

& countless dreams concur

Where her Prince Charming

is waiting for her.
