For the sake of my motherhood.

If you don't accept this,

then you'll see me dead!

Come forward, Raja, step ahead!

Before the society intervenes

with its age old norms...

marry this innocent one!

I am telling you this,

as my son's mother.

You are my first and last love.

I have never loved anyone before you,

and neither will I love, after you.

Life's every moment is yours.

I have willed my every heartbeat

on your name.

Lf...

I know...

I know somebody else's memories

are resting in your heart.

And that, a wedding night is more

than just two bodies resting together.

And till I arouse those intimate

feelings for me, I'll not touch you.

How did you like

our sister-in-law?

You Fatso! Leave him alone!

Why irk the poor guy?

"Poor guy" eh? Just look at him.

Don't touch! I am a householder now.

I have a wife now. A mother.

The best mom in the world.

I will have to earn

something for them.

You all know that I'm not

skilled at anything.

I mean...

Forget it.

I'll tell you something. My dad has

a garage which is closed for years.

We'll all join hands

and reopen it.

We used to break things before.

We'll join them now!

Here, mother.

May my son flourish

in his business.

Have you won a lottery or something?

You are my lottery, mom.

Look what all I've got for you.

I don't have much of

a choice in saris.

So I first took

a shot in the dark.

And this is my first pay.

Your first pay ever, for me?

Of course, for my sweet mother.

You have refilled an emptied

womb of a mother.

May God help you to reap

a rich harvest

Just keep you hand on my head

this way, and bless me.

And then see how I lay all the

joys of the world at your feet.

Welcome, sir.

Please sit down.

I had come to the city.

Thought I'd meet you. You're

our family solicitor, after all.

Thank you for remembering me.

Now, what can I do for you?

I think I'll have to knock

at the Supreme court's door.

What for?

The High Court has refused to

accept my sister-in-law's will.

In which she had willed half her

property on my son's name.

My son is no more now and neither

is there any other heir left.

I don't see what objection the govt.

Has to transfer it in my name.

Actually, the court dealings all

depends on proofs provided.

And till today no bodies of the

three concerned are found.

You mean you want me to bring those

3 bodies in front of the court?

And by now, those bodies must have

been eaten by scavengers too.

You're quite right sir.

But the govt. Still wants proof.

If I don't have the proof

that they are dead...

what proof does the court have

that they are still alive?

Proof? Yes, there is one.

Somewhat raw however...

Do you know what you're saying?

You are raising the dead!

Please don't get me wrong.

See this.

What is this?

Laxmidevi had made a new will.

And in it, she had willed all

estates to her daughterinlaw...

and the expected kid.

This is just a copy.

The real papers are

with the court.

And if there is no proof, the estate

shall be confiscated by Government.

You have told me half the story...

And the rest, you can

find out for yourself.

Three lives. They have disappeared

in the garb of death.

They have a loyal Solicitor.

Sharma.

It'll be your job to

keep an eye on Sharma.

Where does he go?

Who are the people he meets?

You might have to pile up the bodies,

in order to make me have my way.

In return, I'll stack the

currency notes for you.

Your advance.

How's it going?

The car's ready hours ago.

Give me the keys.

I'll give her a run.

Starting trouble, eh?

I've checked everything well.

This is Danny here.

Raja had taken a jeep on a trial run,

and he's had an accident.

Where are you going?

What's wrong?

Don't do too much of patchwork.

Else, my mom will have a fit!

You're being childish now.

Don't worry.

I can take it, it's my mother

who'll go in a flap! Easy, Okay?

I'm fine.

I'm... alright.

Let's go.

What's this bandage?

What happened?

Nothing. Just a scratch.

I was going in a jeep, You see...

and while going, the brakes failed!

What?! You're not hurt, are you?

Not at all. I'm right before you;

safe and sound.

All features in good shape.

She also didn't listen to me.

She just went away.

That's why she went off like that!

I was so sick with worry.

She hasn't even eaten

anything today. She's fasting.

Fasting?

Today is "Karva Chauth", silly!

Don't you know?

You women are really weird!

You turn a man into the God!

See dear? I eventually won you!

Yes.

What did you say?

Say it again. Nobody has called me

by that name ever before.

What are you saying?

Ravi is alive?!

You didn't imagine it,

did you?

A mother can never

"imagine' her son.

But unfortunately, I lost my son,

having found him.

He could be looking for you too.

If he seeks, then he'll also lose.

Ravi will know about Kajal,

and she'll know about him!

Why is time testing us thus?

Nobody can help that.

So leave it to time itself.

If he's in this city,

I'll find him.

Mr. Sharma shifted his office

from here sometime ago.

You must be knowing his new address?

No, I don't.

Look! Sacrificial goat!

Out with the money!

What are you gaping at?

Out with it.

No! I won't give this to you!

The wound is deep, but not serious.

He should come around by morning.

What is this man to you?

That, even I can't tell you.

But he must be meaning something...

You? When did you arrive?

Just before the moon went into hiding.

And before the Sun showed up.

May I ask, where you

have been?

Sure. I was coming home. And I found

some thugs surrounding a man.

He was all alone.

And I jumped in to help him...

A little scuffle ensued...

and here I am, after

admitting him to a hospital.

Who taught you to fight

for others?

Well... for all you know, one of

them might turn out be our own.

How is he?

He was unconscious. The doctor said

he'd come around by tomorrow morning.

He's in the hospital.

And his folks know nothing about it.

Poor chap.

How do you feel now?

You are Raja I think.

Relax...

Tell me; where can we contact

your family?

I have a mother, but...

I'm a stranger to this city.

So this city is a mystery to you.

Whole life's a mystery to me.

Sorry. I didn't mean to

reopen your wounds.

Now I've yesterday's

debt to repay too.

Can't I share your pain?

You saved my life.

I'm very grateful.

Death did call, but didn't

see me in the eyes.

What does life want from me?

There must be some deed, half done,

which you have to finish.

Believe me.

Okay. Let's see this too.

Have you noticed? Nowadays, Mother is

not herself. Her mind is elsewhere.

What happened?

Nothing.

You're well, aren't you?

If your Highness permits it...

I'd like to celebrate in great style.

And if I don't consent,

will you still go ahead?

Then, why ask?

Just to keep you happy.

That I know. But why celebrate

with so much noise?

Share everyday, moment, joy...

Whatever you get.

For who knows what tomorrow
