crime, but Indian tradition.

And Anuj was a good Indian, who

respected his elder brother.

Today's day was pretty good.

You silenced everybody.

Won't you come inside?

I have too much work to do.

I have to go home first,

I have to give...

...Mehmoodbhai his food, and

I also have to remind him...

...that tomorrow in the court...

- Enough.

You don't have to make

so many excuses.

Okay, listen. Bring

Mehmoodbhai...

...on time tomorrow. Tomorrow,

once he testifies...

...then no one can stop

us from winning.

There's nothing to be

ashamed in this, son.

If a person is scared, that

doesn't mean that he isn't brave.

He is brave, who even

after being...

...scared reaches

his destination.

What will we do now, son?

Hey move the car!

Hey. Move them aside.

Please give me alms, for

the sake of God!

Please come out.

Taxi!

How much is it?

- Fifty rupees - Take this.

How much longer will you

make us wait, Miss Payal?

You told us, that

you don't want to...

...tell the name of your

witness, the court accepted it.

You said, that you wish

to keep his identity...

...a secret, the court

accepted that too.

But, you are really wasting

the court's time now.

Your Honor, please, just

a little time more.

They must be arriving

any time now.

What is going on, Miss Payal?

Will your witness come or not?

I am sorry, Your Honor.

Due to unforeseen

circumstances...

...I can't present my witness.

If the witness exists, only then

he will be presented, Milord.

If there is no witness, how

will he be presented in the court?

Miss Payal is wasting

the court's time and...

...throwing muck on the dignity

of three respected people.

Please your Honor, give us one...

...more chance to prove

ourselves, please.

Okay, Miss Payal. But, this

will be your last chance.

Till the next court

hearing, if you...

...will not be able to present

any strong evidence...

...the court will deem

this case baseless...

...and give decision in

the defense's side.

I don't want to fight this case.

What?

I don't want to fight

this case, Payal.

What rubbish are you

talking, Aditya?

To redeem the dignity

of my brother...

...how many people will I kill?

Aditya, you didn't kill anybody.

Mehmoodbhai... - Mehmoodbhai!

I killed Mehmoodbhai. I

wouldn't have forced...

...him to testify, and nor would

those people have killed him.

His wife was widowed

because of me.

His kids were orphaned

because of me.

But now, now nobody will

die because of me.

I can't fight this case. Payal.

I can't fight this case.

I can't fight this case.

- Enough, enough, enough.

Aditya, you aren't the

killer of Mehmoodbhai.

It is those who have

killed Anuj too.

You are trying to show

the truth to the world.

They are the criminals, who are

trying to hide this truth.

You will have to fight

this war, Aditya.

You will have to win this case.

It's useless. Everything

finished with Mehmoodbhai.

All our hopes are finished too.

All the hopes aren't

finished yet, Aditya.

...make us win this

case even now.

Did you people see?

After that incident,

this is her state.

I tore off every photo

of Anuj, but...

...she still thinks about

him throughout the day.

She isn't able to sleep

throughout the night...

...and even if she sleeps,

she gets up all frightened.

If somebody speaks

in a high tone...

...she gets frightened

and wakes up and sits.

We don't put on the television

in our own home.

I don't want that she

sees something...

...that will remind

him of Anuj, and...

...you people are talking about

taking her to the court?

See, please leave

us to our state.

I beg of you with folded hands.

And please don't come

here ever again.

Papa.

Papa. I will go to the court.

But child, the doctor has told

you not to go anywhere out.

Lf... - What will happen to me?

At the most I will die, isn't it?

After Anuj has gone,

where do I live?

Brother, To give punishment

to Anuj's murderers...

...I am with you.

Payal, you can present

your witness.

Yes, Your Honor, my witness

is, Miss Ramona.

I am scared, brother.

Nothing will happen to you,

I am there, isn't it?

You just don't look towards

them. - Yes. - Okay? - Yes.

Whatever I will say,

I will say the truth.

I won't say anything except...

Don't be scared Ramona,

look at me.

Look at me, okay. Just answer

whatever I ask, okay?

We have to punish Anuj's

killers, okay.

On the night of 29th November,

were you with Anuj?

Yes.

- Where?

He had come to my house.

- And then?

Then, we had gone on a drive.

What happened after that?

Police station.

Police station, but why? Tell

us, Ramona, yes, tell us.

What happened in the

police station?

Ramona, look at me,

don't be scared.

Ramona, look at me,

don't be scared.

What happened that

night that you...

...and Anuj had to go to

the police station?

Try to remember, Ramona,

yes. Tell us.

I and Anuj were sitting

and chatting in the car.

He was very worried.

What was he saying?

He was saying that he loved

his brother immensely.

He said that he didn't like

fighting with his brother.

I... I was trying to make

him understand...

...when... when those people came.

- Which people?

Those people took us to

the police station.

And there...

- There? - There what?

Those people, with Anuj...

- With Anuj what?

What did they do with Anuj?

- They, with Anuj...

Ramona, don't be scared. You

are standing in the court.

Say whatever you

want to, clearly.

What did they do with Anuj?

C'mon, Ramona, tell us.

What happened with Anuj.

Do you have a license?

The papers of the car?

- Anuj has asthma!

They are the people!

They have killed Anuj!

They won't spare me too!

They won't spare me!

They won't spare me!

Ramona! - They won't spare

me. They'll kill me.

Nothing will happen to you.

- They'll kill me too!

Ramona, listen to me.

The court will resume

proceedings after the lunch break.

Please take her home.

I will call you later.

Your Honor, my witness

left before she could...

...complete what she

was about to say.

She was badly scared, seeing

some people present here.

But before she left,

she took the...

...name of those people

who had killed Anuj.

The prosecution lawyer is

trying brand my client murderers!

When she hasn't been

able to present...

...even a single witness

who can prove...

...that my clients are murderers.

Milord, when her witness,

has ran away from court...

...before I could cross

question her.

Milord, I will present

such a witness now...

...whom Miss Payal can ask

countless questions.

He will answer every question.

He won't run away from court.

My next witness is,

Dr. M. K Bansal...

...who is a psychiatrist

in JJ Hospital.

Dr. Bansal.

Can you please tell

the court, since how.

...many. Years are

you curing such...

...patients who are

mentally unsound?

Yes, since the past

ten to twelve years.

Ten to twelve years,

that means...

...you have a lot of experience?
