-It's mine!

You bloody fool,

did your father give it to you?

One chocolate. Not this. A big one

My son goes to a good school.

And when he grows up..

He'll be the top brass!

Colour! Out with the dough

-Just a boy, but plays like a pro!

Here you are.

-Must be cheating -You cur.

Cheating must be your dad's

profession! Give the money

Whom are you cursing? -Let go!

Else, I'll break your legs!

You rogue, why hit a child?

-He's very rude to elders

Must be having a rascal's blood!

You cur, you abuse his bloodline?

-Why lose your shirt?

He's not your son, is he?

-His father's a rich man

I think his mother must've..

You're scared of me? Silly boy.

I love you, son

Take these chocolates

Blood! Murder! Murder!

It's a murder wrap, Bhim Singh.

But by God, it happened for best

May God help you, Shankar.

But I really pity this innocent

What about this mother-less kid?

-What about him?

He has you, Kale Khan, Mama..

And I'm not going to the gallows

I'll be back in just 14 years.

14 years only

Father! Oh, father..

Why are you crying like a girl?

Wipe your tears and smile

Kale-Khan.. -Yes?

I don't want to see his face.

Don't bring him in jail again

Make a he-man out of him

And teach him all the

tricks of our trade

The song's good, eh?

Now eat your food. Come on..

From today you'll have nothing

to do with music. Take this

What are you looking at?

Pick up the knife and carry on

No. I'll not do such dirty work.

-Then? Will you listen to music?

But I.. -No buts and if's

Pick up that knife -No!

No, eh?

Please don't hit me..

-Take the knife

Else I'll skin you alive!

No,

we were teaching him self-defense

You can't save yourselves.

What will you teach others?

Look son, the meek are always

trampled upon by people

From tomorrow you won't be meek.

I'll teach you self-defense

And nobody will dare

to hit you again!

I've told you so many times

not to listen to music!

I've also told you so many times

not to touch my gramophone

Don't yell!

Till now, you've just seen me.

Now see what I can do also

I dare any one of you to step

forward and shut this gramophone

Hey.. not here. Over there!

Not here.

Over there.. the gramophone

Enough! You're even a bigger don

than your father, Shankar

Talk about my dad respectfully.

Else I'll change your facial

design -No, don't.

You're the greatest.

From today you're the slum-king!

Hurray! Long live Don Dharam!

Bloody thief!

Let's see how you escape

Catch him! Thief!

Hey scatterbrain?

Why do you hit an old man?

I gave him some cloth

for stitching..

..and now he says it's less!

Look son, make her understand.

She has grown up.

Needs more cloth

You silly goat, come here.

I'll explain why you need more

Get lost! Explain indeed.

Come here you..

What's the matter, Dharam?

-What shall I tell you?

These woman are all the same!

Make mountains out of mole hills!

Exaggerate like mad.

Stretch things like rubber band..

You didn't understand

a simple question

I'll explain it to you by

giving you an example

It was a question of a berry

Growing up into a fat plum!

Ask my heart, what you possess

Not just my heart but

everybody and anybody

The way you stretch and

lift up your arms

Let alone Man,

but even Gods go crazy

Don't be scared.

Try to understand, Madam

This is a gift of God.

A blessing from the Maker

Let no evil eye be cast upon it

These are fruits of holy offering,

flowers from a temple

The branch..

Your branch-like body is

heavily with blossom

You mad girl,

you've become a young woman now

Took your time to understand

Grown into a fat plum

It was all a matter

of a small berry

Growing into a fat plum!

What's the matter, girl?

-Nothing, mom

You don't have fever, do you?

-Nothing like that

What does he say? Tell me

I feel so shy..

Why do you harass her?

I don't.

She harasses everybody around

Tell her, she's not a kid

now but a young woman

She must be careful.

-But why are you jealous?

Who are you.. to stop me, eh?

I'm the local don now.

That's what I came to tell you

You'll become a don? -Yes.

That's what Dad wanted

His dream has come true

The face is bound to blacken

when dealing with coals!

Aunty? -Come and wash your hands

I'm ravenous! Pronto, okay?

Get lost! You're a Don now.

Go and eat in a hotel

You'll get it free now!

But I won't get such love there.

And while I eat..

Who'll put on the music

on the gramophone?

Forget the gramophone now.

It's knives and daggers for you

Music is not in your destiny

Good, eh?

Excuse me, Daddy. -Ranjit..

A very nice tune. Listen..

I don't have time for such petty

things. Just sign this

Are you connected to your

father by just this?

Signatures, wealth..

Who's not fond of money, Dad?

Everybody loves money.

Why do you hate it so?

Why don't you love it?

Good, I don't. Else I too would've

become a darn fiddler!

There are other ways to make

money in this world

I'm not keen to become an

eunuch to sing and dance!

Why don't you bestow your

musical wealth to Nina..

Who's an orphan now.

If you want someone else..

Get him here too.

There are plenty on the streets!

Ranjit! -Uncle, let him be.

Had he understood you, he'd have

been a great performer today

He wants to sign a cheque.

Go ahead and sign it

Never mind, uncle!

I'll talk to him

Play your new tune to me

What tune will I play, dear?

My tune is where it was

Don't know why all the notes go

out of tune before I use them

Mastery with the masters, eh?

In one deck..

I want you to try something

very big

Work in partnership with me.

Big game, big money.

Today J K is to make a big deal

As per Shankar's rule

we must get our share

Will you do it?

Since it's all decided..

I'll have to! -Good!

Arrest them.

This my constables can keep.

But you can give me this forever

Please don't arrest us.

Our families will starve

Please let us go, Inspector.

Else our families will die!

A grave condition.

-Yes sir. Very grave

Friends, what do I do with them?

Let them go -Go. I pardon you.

Let this be here.

Run!

What a haul, sir

Brand new notes. Look!

Count them

100, 200, 300, 400, 500,

600, 700, 800..

900, 1000, 1 100, 1200,

1300, 1400, 1500..

1600.. Shut up!

1700, 1800, 1900, 2000,

2100, 2200, 2300..

2400, 2500..

I know Deshpande very well.

-Oh! So you know my brother

I'm his cousin-brother.

-He has no brother

You are misunderstanding, sir.

I'm talking about Deshpande

from Sion

Yes, I'm too talking about him.

Now you'll say you're from Malad

What do you mean?

-I'm Deshraj Pande

From Allahabad -Which branch?

Branch? You'll know that..

When I get a gold medal

from our President

And my photo will be

in all the papers..

..for having caught some smugglers

You smoke expensive one's,

don't you?

Naive, aren't you?

My dear, you can smoke this

expensive brand too

How? -You must be new around here

Every week J K sends

his goods from here

And in return I get Rs
