Dharam Karam Page #5

in my life, Mr. Phono?

Fish-fish? Mr Phono? -Yes.

I used to call you that

Mr Phono..

Oh yes! I remember, Mr Phono

I like the name very much.

Come on, call me by that name

But why didn't you

ever come again?

Well, Dad got jailed and I was

trained in knife-yielding

How could I refuse?

My father's my God

He may be good or even bad.

But whatever he is.. he's my Dad

What can I do, sir?

A father's a father

You're a strange boy. Very strange

I know it's your duty to

obey your father. But..

It's your bigger duty to

come to know yourself

You have a soul of an artist in

you. Smuggling isn't for you

By doing that, you not only

hurt them but yourself too

Son, there's no limit to goodness

and no end to evil

Give up all these bad things and

see how peaceful you'll feel

Mr Phono..

..I didn't get all you said,

but my heart says you're right

I promise you from today

I'll leave Looting..

..fighting, knifing etc.

I'll not become like my father,

but like you, sir

I promise, from today I'll not

loot, fight or knife anybody

I'll not become like my

father but like you

Well kid, thought you were a don?

Have you come on your senses,

or not?

Ranjit..

..be grateful to that father

because of whom you were spared

From today

I don't have it.

I've given it all to the poor

I know how to extract it!

Truth is very powerful, Ranjit.

Let alone a knife..

You bloody rogue..

Hey girl! Where are you going?

-Let go! You dare throw me out

Call your master -Let her come in

Happy now? Make people promise

and take vows, eh?

So that he gets beaten up

and loses his bearings

If your guards armed with sticks

attack him, he'll thrash them

But there's nobody to save him.

-Whom are you talking about?

Dharam, who else?

Had he not given you his word..

Would he have kept quiet and

got beaten like a coward?

But by getting him beaten up

you've wounded the whole slum

You're responsible for it.

You! He's lying unconscious

Come. He's lying here. See

what you've done to him

Dharam.. -Mr. Phono

Take a good look

He's just wounded this time.

Next time, it could be worse

But sir, I was to get this wound.

I had to repay somebody..

And do my duty.

-What games destiny plays!

One does and somebody else pays.

-No.. no Aunty

The people from whom I had taken

the loot, came to ask for it

That's what I owed them.

Sir, I didn't lift my hand on them

You are a good man, Dharam.

But son..

I had asked you to give up

fighting, knifing, looting etc.

I didn't ask you not

to defend yourself

Self defense is the

right of every man

He won't understand that!

One day he'll lay down his life

for the betterment of others

There's no need to kill

or sacrifice..

..one's own life to be good

I'm willing to sacrifice

everything to be a good person

You can't help anything, I agree.

But even then..

It's your duty to do your duty

With these people behind you,

let the world curse you

And think you to be a crazy person

Let every heart remember

you fondly

Do this much and then take

your leave from this world

One day you'll be sold

as cheap as dust

What will remain behind

will be your words

By giving your songs on

the lips of others

Leave something behind you and

then bid adieu to the world

What will remain behind however

will be your words

I know,

you can't help it, but even then..

It's your duty to do your duty

With your friends behind you,

let the world curse you

And think you to be a crazy man

Let every heart remember

you fondly

Do this much and then take

your leave from this world

One day you'll be worth

as cheap as dirt

One day you'll be worth

as cheap as dirt

What will remain behind

will be your words

By giving your songs on

the lips of others

Leave something behind you

and then leave this world

No. 7.. Hey, No. 7

Show some respect.

My name's not No. 7 ..

But Shankardada!

Forget the bullying now.

You'll be released next Monday

Go out and do some good, okay?

Now I'm a father. No more a don

Ranjit must've become a big shot

Stitch carefully okay.

It's a silk blouse, understand?

And listen, put a gold border

on my skirt. Nice and shining

This will take me all day.

I've still to seam my lungi

Look here, am I to dance or you?

Hey, why are you harassing him?

What are you having stitched?

This time, it's my dance dress.

But soon,

it'll be my wedding dress!

You'll marry me right? But what

if I like some other girl?

You dare choose another one.

Mr Phono has chosen me for you

He won't look at you.

-Let him not. But you will, right?

That's enough for me.

I'll give such a shove,

you'll never forget it!

Don't play games with me, okay?

Else you'll regret it, I tell you

I sprinkled water on you..

I'll get wet, darling.

Don't harass me so

This shiny lipstick on your lips

Oh please darling,

don't harass me so

Get lost! Don't pretend

You know, I'll get excited

hearing all this..

And sway my delicate narrow waist

The swaying of your waist.

Oh, what a movement

What is a movement, tell me.

Please don't tease me

Tell me, darling.

Please don't harass me

Get lost! Don't pretend!

This skirt with a golden border..

I wish I could lay down

my life for it

Actually I'm not the kind

to be easily caught

So why should I give you my heart?

Ever since I saw these

anklets of yours..

Well done! Simply beautiful

I wasn't wrong.

I saw an entertainer in you

Will you perform on stage with me?

-What?

Yes

Give me a chance so that

I can show people..

That art isn't found only

in an artist's home

It can be found in such

an environment too

You will, won't you?

-Well you know, my father..

Yes, I know.

Your father hates art and my son..

But don't worry.

I'll give you my son's name..

Yes.. -Okay

Ranjit! Promising entertainer

Well done, son!

Bring pride to your father's name

Do you know?

He's my son -Is he your son?!

Mad!

You rogue, are you blind?

Can't you see? Drive carefully

You old fool, don't bully me.

Take 5-10 rupees,

else go your way

Be polite.

I'm like a father to you

I'd have broken your jaw.

You rogue!

Go on..

Take 5-10 rupees he says.

Foolish boy!

Hey, what's the matter?

Why the long face?

Are you alone? Silly boy, is

anybody ever alone in this world?

Your friends are your songs

And your songs are your

life-long pals

Go on singing love-songs..

Your friends are your songs

Your songs are your life-long pals

Go on, sing -Who me?

Yes, sing

And you'll find that

wherever you go..

..you'll find joy everywhere

Your songs are your life-long pals

Why am I brought here?

What am I guilty of?

Don't you know singing is banned

here. And also laughing

But your majesty, music and

songs are life-long friends

My music and life is my daughter

Who can't talk or sing.

That's why those who sing..

Are sent to their death.

Take him away

A princess of beauty.

A goddess of good-looks..

With such a sweet face..

If only you could..

join me in singing!

You'd have won every heart my dear
