There was a film unit from Mumbai.

They wanted explosives for a scene...

"I was bringing that when

they caught hold of me, sir"

"I've done nothing, sir.

I'm absolutely innocent"

Shut up! That's what you've been

harping on since yesterday!

"Got a lot of heat, eh?"

He was taking 15 kgs of

gun-powder for the shoot...

and he's innocent! I'll lock you up

under the anti-terrorist act!

May I have a word with

my client in privacy?

It's our Constitutional Right

"Now look, Frankie.

Always remember..."

you can lie to anyone you wish.

But never tell lies to your lawyer

"So tell me the truth, Frankie.

What's all this about?"

"I made a mistake, sir.

I fell for temptation"

That's just what is rotten

about you guys

How often have I told you

to get on with your crime...

but don't ever get caught.

But it doesn't get into your skull

"I thought I was being smart, sir"

"Frankie, if there are a hundred

ways of committing crimes..."

there a hundred and one ways

of catching you at it

I'll now have to find a way

of getting you out of here

Never mind

What are you doing?

You're the mistress of the house.

Not a maid-servant

"If I have committed a crime,

I must hide these stains"

So you're very scared

of your husband?

"Yes, I'm scared.

I'm scared of getting caught, Kabir"

"To continue to live, we'll have to

seek refuge in falsehoods, Kabir"

You'll have to promise

me something

You'll never tell anyone about

our relationship

"It must always remain

a secret, Kabir"

You can't tell anyone about this ever.

Do you understand?

Don't tell lies.

You're hiding something from us!

"Look at him, Sidharth.

He's hiding things from us"

What?

Your face gives away the

story of your night

Stop getting poetic

and talk straight

Have I hidden anything from you guys?

- That's what I'm saying

Why hide it from friends?

So tell me

What?

- Whom are you spending...

your nights with nowadays?

- Who would stand by a broke guy?

Girls nowadays only look

at your bank-balance

"Besides, except Sheeba,

who would keep me company?"

"It's Sheeba alone.

- You can fool him, okay?"

But at least tell a proper lie

to the cops!

"You're talking about Sheeba!

- Why be afraid, if you're in love?"

You think I'm out of my mind?

I don't believe in love

Silly love you're talking about

"You're hurting my feelings, Kabir"

"If there is another girl,

just tell me..."

say it in front of your friends

I keep telephoning you and

you can't even take my calls?

"The phone was dead, Sheeba"

I have nothing more

to say to you

I got to leave

"Leave, if you must.

But listen to what I say"

If you continue to lie to friends...

it's going to cost you

very dearly some day

"You were such a

close friend, Sidharth"

But your voice still couldn't

get through to me

You know why?

"Because whatever I was doing, I was

hiding it not only from my friends..."

I didn't want to admit it

to myself too

Like a new season that

quietly takes over...

I don't know when I had fallen

in love with Sonia

Why?

Why do things like this happen?

Why are the most beautiful

moments in life...

over in the flash of a moment?

"In just two days,

he'll be back"

And he'll touch me again

He'll treat my body like his property

and use it

I wish... I wish

I had never met you

I wouldn't have known what

a shameful life I'm leading

Sonia's words drove me crazy.

It caused me anguish to think...

that the beautiful body

in my arms...

belonged to someone else

The idea of it poisoned my life

My life was gradually

turning into hell

"Every moment, I pined for her,

I ached for her..."

and I went to her doorstep

I shouldn't have come

without telling you

"I couldn't stop myself,

I came along"

Who was that man?

He's supposed to be

my husband's manager

But...

- What?

I think my husband has employed spies

to keep an eye on his young wife

"It's sometimes the air-conditioning

guy, or the plumber..."

the electrician or someone else

Someone or the other keeps

dropping in every day

I sometimes feel...

- What?

This is the man I have spent

the last six years with...

this is the man I have

got married to...

and I feel as if

I don't know him at all

I some times wonder who he is

or what the truth about him is

"Whoever he is,

he's sure a rich guy"

Where did he make

so much of money?

I don't know

He never discusses

business matters with me

"Whenever he talks on the telephone,

it's always about shares, stocks..."

"real-estate and the races. Its

always about money, money, money"

"Some times, I get some

very nasty ideas"

I feel afraid.

- Afraid? Of what?

Of whom?

Of your husband?

No. Of myself

"So? What do you think of?

Tell me, Sonia..."

what do you think of?

- I wish...

I wish this man were dead

Really? Is that really

how you think?

"No, Kabir. We shouldn't

be talking like this"

There are times when the

spoken word comes true

"Sonia, if the spoken word

were to come true..."

I'd have been an emperor long ago.

He's such a strong and able man

For him to die just like that?

Impossible

"And we aren't as lucky, Sonia.

We have to put up with so much more"

Where do I live?

"Kabir, wake up my friend"

"Wake up, my boy"

Won't you say good-morning

to Mr Sun today?

Wake up

"Get up. We'll drop you home

and go about our work, okay?"

We are working people you see?

Get up

Here? What am I doing here?

"You were so drunk last night,

you couldn't find your own house"

You were walking around

the streets of Pondicherry

"Luckily, Sidharth's constable

recognised you and brought you here"

"Or else, you'd have kept roaming

the streets of Pondicherry all night"

Round and round!

- Don't spin a yarn

"If I could help it, I'd kick

drunkards like you out of the house"

"What are you talking about

early in the day, Sidharth?"

Let him at least have

a cup of tea first

I pour that cup on your head!

Keep it here. Go on!

This man isn't even sipping

water in my house

"Are you listening, Kabir?

This is a cop's house..."

it's no home for the destitute

you go to any time you wish

Bloody drunkard! You ought to

thank Aarti for a night's sleep

Or I'd have given you

two tight slaps...

and have you tossed in the gutters.

You'd have spent the night there!

And who am I reasoning with?

Go on...

I give up on you.

Get out

"Sidharth, don't desert me

like this"

"Vishal, where will I go?

Sister-in-law..."

make him see reason.

Where will I go?

Go to hell!

I'm not responsible for you!

Why does he talk like this?

Can't he understand?

Am I mad to keep shouting at him?

It makes my blood boil!

And he knows it makes my blood boil!

Take him away from my sight

Sit down for a moment. Calm down.

Go

"Come on, Kabir"

Come on

"Where's he going?

Kabir, come here. Come here"

Sit here. Sit down!

Sit

"Aarti, leave us alone"

Now listen to me carefully.

I'm not telling you again

My mother used to tell me that there

are two kinds of dogs in every man
