Who's this pretty bird? | Find out about her.

She's the daughter of Dayavan. | Don't meddle with her.

As it is, the scandal regarding | that cop's daughter...

- ... has been hushed up. | - Why're you scared?

So what if she | is Dayavan's daughter?

As long as my father is a | minister, nobody can harm me.

So you're a | son of a minister?

You are too proud of your | father's powers.

You abuse the very womb | that gave you birth.

I won't do it again.

Uncle.

You were delayed.

I'm returning from the hospital. | I saw the man whom you bashed up.

He's still alive...

...but his condition is worse | than that of a corpse.

- She saw me. | - Yes, I saw you.

I also saw that you | were hitting him savagely.

He committed an offence. | So he was bashed up.

Who has empowered you | to hit him?

I did as my friend | asked me to.

I can't differentiate | between the right and the wrong.

Your father told me. | And I did accordingly.

He's right. I had | instructed him.

What do you think of yourself? | Are you a judge?

Are you God?

Who are you to decide what's | right and what's wrong?

Who are you to | punish anybody?

I had given my word | to somebody.

To whom?

Like me, he too | is a father to a daughter.

You promised somebody that you | will bash up somebody...

...to the extent that | he would be bathed in blood?

His crime was | as ghastly.

It's the job of the police | to catch criminals.

It's the job of the court | to punish criminals.

Why don't you let them | take care of such things?

Why do you have to | commit such sins?

It's not a sin, | it's a pious deed.

It's justice.

You won't understand.

You're educated, after all.

You received all the comforts.

You don't realise | what pain is.

That's why you talk | of courts and the police.

Me...

My friend Shankar...

...had to compromise like anything | simply to earn our daily bread.

We had to confront the world | simply to bring home our earnings.

At the end of the day, | I was never too sure...

...if I would live to | see the next day.

To save myself from death, | I had to kill others.

I had to stain | myself with blood.

I had to die several deaths | to keep myself alive.

Does that make you think that | whatever you do would be right?

I do anything only | when my mind permits it...

...only when | my soul permits it.

Is it right to do what your | soul or mind permits you to?

- Yes. | - My mind feels...

...that I should beat | the man who beat the boy...

...with as much | intensity and force.

You silly girl.

How could you dare to | hit out at him?

- Leave me. | - No.

- I'll not spare her alive today. | - No. Control yourself.

How did you learn to hit | out at your elders?

Who misguided you?

Didn't you hit me because | in your opinion...

...it was a wrong act? | That I hit out at uncle.

All that you do, thinking that | you're doing the right deeds..

...they are not the right deeds. | The world views it as offensive.

What should I do then? | What do you want me to do?

I want you to discontinue | your misdeeds.

I will discontinue. | But before that...

You'll have to tell them | to stop committing crimes...

- I'll stop too. | - Whom should I tell?

Tell that policeman who shot dead | my innocent father...

...simply because he demanded | a hike in labour charges.

Tell them to discontinue | protecting the criminals...

I'll discontinue too.

Tell that ruthless cop who | put my good-hearted Karim Baba...

...behind bars, hung him | to death...

...and then claimed that | it was a suicide.

Tell them to discontinue hurting | the weak and the aged...

...I'll discontinue too.

Tell those sinners who killed | my sister so mercilessly...

Tell those who killed your | mother at the midnight hour...

Tell them to discontinue | killing my mothers and sisters...

I'll discontinue too.

Tell all those rich people | who set ablaze the hutments...

...who burn the poor | people alive...

...who silence the law and the | police with their wealth...

Tell them to discontinue | exploiting the poor...

I'll discontinue too.

What do you think?

That I derive pleasure by | murder and violence?

No.

Did I accept this path | out of my own free will?

No.

Tell them to embark | on the right path...

I'll mend my ways too.

Tell me honestly...

Is all that you do | not incorrect?

No. It's not incorrect.

There's nothing wrong in | helping the poor.

An activity that helps | people around you...

...and provides for | their daily bread...

Such an activity is | not incorrect or undesirable.

Do you mean that | it's not incorrect...

...to murder people | for your daily bread?

Try and understand | what I want to tell you.

No. I don't want | to understand it.

I don't want to understand.

Leave me alone.

Tell him to | go away from here.

Tell him to go away.

You go, Shakti.

I'll comfort her. | You had better go.

Superintendent of police. | It's you. Please come.

I want to meet Dayavan.

Father is unwell. | He is resting.

But it's very important | that I meet him.

Please wait. | I'll inform him.

The superintendent of police | wants to meet you.

- Superintendent of police? | - Yes.

I told him that you're unwell.

- No. You may let him in. | - All right.

- Welcome. Please come. | - Greetings.

- Offer him the chair. | - No, thank you. I'm fine.

Are you unwell?

No. Nothing serious.

What brings you here?

I came to thank you. | I'm highly obliged.

It's okay. | How's your daughter?

With your grace, | she's quite fine now.

I can never compensate | for your favours...

...but I've come to | caution you.

One of your men is scheduled | to testify against you.

You should be | knowing Doraswamy.

Yes. I know him | well enough.

He has agreed to testify | on behalf of the government.

I'm a police officer. | I cannot prevent him.

Neither should I.

How you can prevent him, | is your outlook.

It's okay.

I should be leaving now.

Thank you very much.

Summon Shankar.

He's not here.

You had asked him to leave the | city for a few days.

It had to do with the case | involving the minister's sons.

- Yes. I'd forgotten. | - Can I do this job?

Can't I do this much | for my father?

No. It's not | meant for you.

I won't execute the | job on my own.

Neither will any of | our men do it.

I'll engage some | outsider for this job.

Others will never get to | whom he is working for.

We'll not be involved at all | in this entire matter.

- Please, father. | - No.

Don't you have faith in me?

Doraswamy'll not be able | to reach the courts.

And even if he does | reach the courts...

...he won't be able to | open his mouth to testify.

Yes, father. | Have faith in me.

It's okay. Go ahead.

Shankar was right when he said | that you've grown up.

Come here.

A white car has made a getaway | from the sessions court.

The two passengers in the car've | committed a murder and escaped.

I'd told you earlier that | we don't know each other.

Yet you climbed into my car. | Now the police is on my trail.
