money or property.

All l seek is freedom to breathe.

Jaan means life, Para.

Just as l can lay down

my life for you..

..l can take somebody else's.

Enough!

Enough, Begum!

Enough!

Calm down.

"The peace that existed between us."

"Whether you still

remember or not."

"The peace that existed between us."

Who gave you permission

to come in here?

My heart.

Leave.

No.

You come back.

- What?

Come back!

To dance.

You're mistaken, l..

Why are you being so cruel

to yourself?

"From whom, sweetheart, for whom?"

"They keep me awake."

"My wretched eyes,

they steal my peace."

Remember?

Come on.

- Begum!

Come on.

- Begum please.

Get out.

- Begum!

Fine.

Now let me show

you how stubborn l am.

l won't leave without

knowing the reason.

Why did you kill that Para?

Every breath of her's would dance.

Where is that Para

l saw 25 years ago?

At the town-hall, in Bhopal.

On the auditorium stage.

Your guru,

Birju Maharaj was with you.

That day, while dancing..

..you became one with the dance.

Where is that Para?

"Keep me awake all night."

"My wretched eyes.."

"My eyes steal my peace."

"Keep me awake all night."

"Keep me awake.."

"Keep me awake all night."

"My wretched eyes.."

"Keep me awake all night."

"Jasmine earrings

dangling from my ears."

"And pearls.."

"And pearls adorned

around my wrists."

"Pearls adorned around my wrists."

"For whom, my beloved?"

"For whom do l wear these,

my beloved?"

"Keep me awake all night."

Begum?

Begum!

Khalu!

You think l can't catch up with you?

You're really think

you can get away?

l swear,

wait till l get my hands on you.

l will shred you to pieces..

..and feed you to the crows.

Can you here me?

Hello Babban here, who's speaking?

Flaunting your English, are you?

Have you forgotten your manners?

Look up.

Why are you talking on the phone?

lncoming calls are free.

l'm the one being charged for it.

l am a Nawab.

l follow etiquette even in war.

l'll stick your etiquettes

up your behind.

Why did you lie to me?

- l didn't lie to you.

l just didn't tell you the truth.

Don't confuse me.

You said you fell in the gutter..

..and the necklace

fell in the gutter too.

True. l fell in the gutter,

and the necklace fell there too.

Then l climbed out of the gutter

and picked it up.

Come down, and l will

kick you all the way to heaven.

l'm better off here.

You can come up if you like.

- Fine, l'm coming up.

Throw down the ladder.

- You throw the knife first.

Enough of this!

Throw down the ladder.

The breeze is really nice up here.

Come up if you can,

otherwise goodbye.

Why did you hang up?

Hello!

l'll stay here all night, l mean it.

Look...look..

Babban. Don't get angry.

Listen to me. Let me explain.

Look at my decency.

l could've killed you in your sleep.

But you are like my son..

Son..

- What son?

You left me to die.

l was about to get

circumcised again!

Mushtaq came after

me with such a big knife!

Left me! Left me!

Stop repeating that. Listen to me.

The day we stole the necklace...

Khalu!

Run!

At the graveyard at 3:30.

Stop. l'll shoot.

(lNAAM ALl DRY CLEANERS)

lt's been half an hour.

l hope he hasn't kicked the bucket?

Your affliction lies in

the region of your heart.

Okay.

You're burdened with sorrows.

A wound in the past?

A regret or remorse?

Stay cheerful and happy!

That's your cure.

Drink from the vial of love!

Find yourself a girl.

And you will rid yourself

of these tremors.

God willing!

l've always lived for others.

First my father, then your aunt.

Then Mushtaq bhai.

Then sister and then you.

Never got the chance

to think for myself.

So l finally decided..

..l want to live for

myself once before l die.

lf l can't keep myself happy..

..then how can l

keep anyone else happy?

But what about our little ones?

That necklace was a gift.

Now, if someone

steals that necklace..

..then, that's not

my responsibility.

l've heard that Begum's vault..

..is filled with 10 necklaces,

and 1000 gold coins.

Khalu, you're going

to steal in your own house.

Not my house.

My future in-law's home.

Now l'll be spending

the rest of my life here.

l love you, Khalu.

l love you too, Babban.

Your mansion looks

like a haunted house.

Yes. l've grown used to it now.

When you come after l'm married..

..you'll get a separate room.

Send some girls along, l won't mind.

Mr. ltalvi.

What do you say?

Do l look like a Nawab?

You do.

But?

- You are not.

But l am not one.

l wear the jewels

of Begum's late husband.

His turban.

And his sword too.

Touch it.

ls this the color of your blood too?

Red!

So what is it that..

l don't have with me..

..to become the

Nawab of Majidabad?

DNA!

- What?

All the people born in this world..

..have completely

different and unique..

..sets of DNA, and they always will.

How wonderful!

You solved an old

mystery of my life.

What?

There's a canal at

the heart of this city.

On one side of

the canal is the mansion.

Belonging to the Nawab.

And on the other side,

the rest of Majidabad.

On the other side,

whenever l would set out..

..the people would lower their eyes.

Out of fear.

And when the Nawab stepped out..

..people bowed down.

Out of respect.

Ask why?

- Why?

NDA.

- DNA.

Whatever.

Now, how do we change it?

Everyone's born with it.

lt can't be changed.

What are you saying?

These days you can..

..change your nose, ears, kidney..

- You can't change this!

You're angry with me,

that's why you're lying.

l have a lot of money.

l'll give you anything you want.

Promise?

- Promise.

ln ltaly.

We can try out there. Might find it.

Fine.

We'll both go and get it changed.

- When?

As soon as Begum

chooses me as her husband.

We'll catch a flight,

first-class tickets.

What if she doesn't?

Then you will go alone.

ln a casket.

You fool. Get up!

Come on!

How dare you?

Load them in!

Walk, get in.

Evening tea will be served in jail.

Aladdin's lamp?

Books everywhere!

Greetings.

Nawab Saheb... had stepped out..

..for his evening stroll.

He didn't return for a long time.

So l was looking for him.

l was just passing by when..

..l saw that your vase was unsteady.

So l caught it.

Otherwise it would've shattered.

l think its porcelain.

Oh, it's you?

What if it had shattered?

lt would've crashed loudly.

And everybody would've

woken up, crazy girl.

And you would've been caught.

Red-handed.

You're fortunate...

that everyone's asleep.

Except for me.

How about l put

you to sleep? Forever?

Keep this to yourself.

Otherwise l will

cut your tongue out.

l'm warning you.

Cut.

Cut me.

For the first time

in my life l can't decide.

What?

Whether l got some or gave some?

Get up.

lt's morning. Don't you have to go?

l do.

Where?

From Honolulu to Timbuktu to Paris..

..to New York to Moscow to Tokyo.

With you.

With me?

Yes, with you.

There's still time for that.

What will you do until then?

Whatever you say.

Will you graze goats?
