divided his property in two parts"

Fifty-fifty

One half of it went to his

wife Sonia and the other half...

went to his sister Priyanka

and his niece Anoushka Kapoor

So what happens now?

All the property goes to her?

That's impossible!

"Kabirlal, there come up many questions

regarding the truth behind this will"

This will could be held

legally untenable

Like Mr Rohit Khanna having died

without making out a will

What happens in such a case?

In the absence of a will...

a man's entire property

goes to the wife

But it isn't so easy

in this case

"I suggest, the two of you share the

property according to the old will..."

and end this controversy

here and now

Or else...

- Or else?

"Else, I'll have your blood!"

"Is this what you called me

here for, Mr Karim?"

Do you realise what mental

trauma I'm going through?

You're raising the question of dividing

the property at a time like this?

She's putting on an act!

I've lost my brother too!

Do you see how she dresses?

- What are you doing?

It's me. I want you

to understand something

What hell will you tell me?

You changed the will...

"and didn't even tell me!

- Don't be angry, Kabir"

Why shouldn't I be angry?

You've landed both of us in danger!

"Nothing of the sort

is happening, Kabir"

I'm coming there and I'll

explain everything to you

Are you out of your mind?

They're keeping an eye on us!

"Kabir, I'll come there and

explain everything to you"

It's necessary for me

to meet you

"Now look, Sonia. If you

think you're coming here..."

I'm leaving right now!

Now don't cook up stories...

just tell us the truth

What?

What have you got to do

with Sonia Khanna?

I've got nothing to do

with Sonia Khanna!

Now stop spinning a yarn

and tell us the truth

Tell us...

- What?

In detail. Stories from the heart

sound good in detail

Are you serious with her?

- You're crazy!

You know I don't fall in love-traps.

Why're you talking rubbish?

But your face says something else.

- What does my face say? What?

The whole world knows

that I love beauty

She's the most beautiful woman

in the whole of Pondicherry

That's true. I've seen her

and I must say...

there isn't anyone like her

in the whole of south India

And she's also rich.

- Beautiful trouble

"All right, I've heard it.

I only want you to be careful"

She has lost her husband

only recently

There's a controversy over her

property. There could be trouble

"Hey guys, have you imposed a state

of emergency in Pondicherry?"

"Mr Sidharth, this is still

a free nation"

"All right, my friend"

Let's have the rest of

the argument at the club

We won't get a table

if we're late

I'm not coming today.

I'm not in the mood

Now look at him!

You got a secret programme tonight?

- Let him be

The two of us will go ahead

"Kabir, I'm your friend.

But I'm also a cop"

And cops are like dogs.

They smell a rat

They see even what is hidden

"Because I'm your friend,

I'm telling you"

Don't hide anything from me.

- Here you are

Light a cigarette

and get going

Are you mad?

Do you want us both to hang?

I told you not to come here!

- How much does he know?

"He knows nothing, but I know

Sidharth very well"

"Once he gets after someone,

he's had it"

What evidence does he have?

- Evidence!

Don't you feel scared?

I do. I feel very scared

Of no one else.

I feel scared of you

Of myself

We have done so much

to be with each other

And that is exactly what is

distancing us now

"Kabir, you have changed so much.

You don't love me at all"

"I do love you, which is why

I'm worried about you"

"That night, Sonia promised me..."

that she would marry me

the moment she had the property

How was I to know that life was

plotting another move against me

I asked for a large drink.

Do you think I'm blind?

"This is 60 ml, madam.

- 60 ml... this one?"

"It's after midnight, madam.

The manager has..."

Money! They're all thieves!

Will you take the money with you

when you're dead?

She's a witch!

- Who are you talking about?

The one you're fighting for!

I'm not mad.

I just get the feeling...

that something terrible

is going to happen

My brother didn't die

a natural death

He was killed. By this witch

"Look, let me have

my drink in peace"

"For God's sake, listen to me!

For your own welfare!"

I saw it in her eyes yesterday.

The sparkle...

I saw the sparkle

even five years ago

When my sister-in-law died.

She was down with pneumonia

"One night, when I got up

and went to her room..."

I found my sister-in-law

burning with fever

It was a cold night.

All the windows were open

Her covers and blankets were

lying scattered on the floor...

and her nurse was missing

I ran and wrapped blanket

around my sister-in-law...

and that is when the nurse walked in.

But she said nothing...

she just stood there.

In her eyes...

she had the same sparkle

Do you know who that nurse was?

- Who?

Sonia. Who else?

You don't know her.

She'll kill you too

I don't know what your problem is.

But I've got to leave

No

No

So she has trapped you too!

"Isn't that why you find the

truth I speak, to be bitter?"

This is her profession!

But I'm not going

to remain quiet!

I'll go to the police!

I'll hold a press conference...

and tell everyone

that my brother was murdered!

And it's Sonia who has

murdered my brother!

"Yes, one moment"

"Call for you, Kabir"

How often have I told you not to

irritate me while we're playing?

It's Sidharth

"Yes, go on Sidharth"

"Oh yes, no problem at all"

"Yes, I'll be there"

What happened?

- He's called me at the Lark Club

You alone?

- Yes. He's buying me some beer

Lucky guy. The D.I.G.

Calls you to drink beer...

billionaire girls soothe

your body

"God, make me Kabirlal

when I'm born again"

In ten years of police service

there hasn't been an instance...

when I've found something fishy

and I've been proved wrong

Not even once.

One thing is very clear

This is a case of murder

Rohit Khanna did not die

in an accident

He was taken there dead.

That blast...

wasn't caused by explosives.

We found particles of dynamite there

What is most important is that

his glasses were missing

So?

He had gone there in connection

with some work at the factory

How could he go without

wearing his glasses?

I'm here for some chilled beer.

So why're you telling me all this?

The cops have to begin their

investigations somewhere

I thought I'd begin at home.

Yours is the name that figures...

as the executioner of his will.

And Sonia Khanna is the beneficiary

We cops always suspect the one

who's going to gain the most

Why're you beating around the bush?

Come to the point

I'm asking you for the record

Where were you when

the murder took place?

"In Chennai. Hotel Regency,

Room No 203"

You went away to Chennai

without even telling me?

Is it a crime to go to Chennai?

Is it in Pakistan?

Do I need a passport from you guys

to go there?

Why're you getting angry? I'm only
