before but not now

All our godowns were raided.

That's why

This is the rent for your garage

From today my contraband will

be kept in your garage. Okay?

No, you can't use my garage.

What if Daddy finds out?

We're business partners, Ranjit.

We earn dough together..

And will go to jail together too

Is everything here? -Yes.

Ranjit,

you're responsible for this now

What's this?

How did this gold get here?

Answer me

You're doing such things now?

-Talk softly.

You'll get your rent

Impertinent brat!

I'll live off smuggler's rent now?

Take all this out of here.

I'll have you arrested

You won't do that Daddy. Because

my arrest will defame you too

Father's fame, reputation

is not earned by his son

I'll call the police right now

-And if you call the police..

..then.. -Then? -Then I'll..

Trouble, J K.

He'll call the police

Remove the goods,

else he'll call the police

What if wshift' your Dad

instead of the goods?

My Dad? Don't blabber.

It's a rule in the business.

Anybody in the way, cut him short

Even if it's your Dad

Shankar is still alive!

Don't you people forget..

That nobody will touch a

hair on Mr Ashok's head!

How did you get here, old geyzer?

-To talk to you, you worm!

I've seen through you.

I had warned you..

You lift your hand at me?!

You rogue! Don't listen to him.

Come with me

Shankar don't forget

where you are!

Darn you, J K.

Don't interfere between us!

You have come in between,

Shankar.

But by God, at the correct time

Because of you all my plans

will run smoothly

Meaning?

Since you've come here,

your son Dharam will come too

And when Dharam gets here,

all my work will be smooth

Understand?

No, you are lying.

-If you wish to see..

Your father alive, come along.

He's very serious

Sir, you've fallen sick by

thinking too much about your son

You know such illness doesn't

allow you to think too much

Dr, which father will not think

for the good of his son?

Kids may be good or bad,

but still they are our kids

You fool! I'm your..

I'm like a father to you

Like a father, right?

But not my father!

You have bullied me a lot.

But today, I won't hear of it

I don't bully you. I look to

you as my son and guide you

I'll give you some advice, kiddo

Hit me! Hit me as much as you

like, but let my father go

You fool, if we wanted you, why

would we bring your Dad here?

Ranjit, I repeat what I said.

Let my father go!

Okay, I'll let him go.

But do me a favour and take him

What do you want?

Go and murder my Daddy.

-What! Kill Mr Phono?

No.. Never!

Dharam will not do this. Never!

He won't, eh? -Never!

Don't hit my father

Please let him go, Ranjit

Let my father go! Ranjit..

You gave me a son, Lord.

I'll tell you the truth

I won't make him like me

Father! Daddy!

Now..will you kill my father,

or not?

No, never!

Mr Phono!

Tablet.. Tablet

Mr Phono..

You? Here, at this time?

I've come to kill you! -Kill me?

Why?

If I don't kill you,

they kill my father

Who will?

Who?

Your son, Ranjit.

My son sent you to kill me?

Ranjit and J K got hold of my

father to do their dirty work

They have nearly killed him

They said, if I don't kill

you they kill my father

One son wants his father killed.

And the other stakes

his own life..

To save his father! How nice

Please forgive me sir.

I'm helpless

And I'll do anything to save him.

I've nobody in this

world expect him

But the law will arrest

you for killing me

I know. I may be hung even.

But if I kill you my father

will be spared

How lucky your father is!

He must have done something

good to get a son like you

Look, give me the pistol.

I'll shoot myself..

And write that you are

innocent of any crime

Mr Phono..

-Son, I've nothing to live for now

If my death can give life to your

father, why should I mind?

Come on..give me the pistol,

please. I'll shoot myself

I don't want to live now

J K sir..Dharam ran off!

-Was Mr Ashok killed?

No. -Very good!

The man whom you wanted to kill,

will never be killed

Me? No.. I told you once before,

If I kill my father then..

Dharam couldn't kill his father

You beat your own father

black and blue

What? -Look..this is your father..

Whom you beat up thinking

he was Dharam's dad

J K! What nonsense!

Shankar!

Remember that night when you

snatched your kid from my arms..

And ran off with me in hot pursuit

When you came out of the

hospital however..

I know everything.

-What do you know?

That you exchanged your son

with that of Mr Ashok's

You deceived me.

But by keeping silent..

I've deceived you in

a bigger way today

The boy..

I'll have your blood!

Ranjit, he's lying!

-It's the truth

A son cannot kill his own father..

.. but he can kill someone

else's father

You'll kill Mr Ashok.

-No I won't kill my father

You won't? Then I'll kill you.

-No..!

If he's not your son,

Shankar, why are you so concerned?

Let him die. -J K!

Then ask him to kill Mr Ashok

If Dharam gets the police here,

we'll all go to jail

Tell him, else I'll shoot him

Tell him!

You've done your duty as

a father very nicely

Now meet your son for

the last time also

Shankar,

now even God can't save you both

Dharam, leave him alone.

-No I won't, Dad

Dad?

It was father's love,

Dharam that came to the surface

Ranjit, why did you do this?

Police! Save yourself.

Run, son. Save yourself

Dharam..let him go

Who committed the murder?

-Sir, my son has

He killed with this pistol.

Look sir, this pistol

Mr Dharam, do you admit to

your crime in this court?

No! My Dharam can't do this.

He's innocent, sir

You are no Don!

You are a butcher..

Who is sending a man like

Dharam to the gallows

But remember, God will never

forgive you.. and nor me

For I too have concealed the

truth. But not any more

I'll go right now and tell

Mr Ashok everything

Ganga! If you open your mouth,

I'll kill you!

I'll gouge your eyes out.

-You witch! I'll break your jaw

Do you know whom you

are talking to?

Get lost!

My mother may be scared of

your bullying. Not me!

Let's see how you stop us.

Come on Mom..

Go on..go and tell him,

there's no proof

Mr Ashok will never believe you

No..how can I believe this?

-Believe me. I know everything

Shankar wanted his son

to be a good person

That's why he exchanged

his own son with yours

Remember? When your son was born..

You had given money to a baby

Try to remember..please

Dharam is your son, sir.

Believe me. I'm telling the truth

If you don't believe me,

I swear on my daughter's head

Enough!

If he still doesn't believe,

let Dharam go to the gallows!

It's all destiny, sir. You weren't

destined for the love..

Of a son, and I for a father's.

I'm charged with murder

I could be sentenced.

Even hung. -No..

I'll have to separate from you

even if I got you, Mr Phono

We've been separated for years

as father and son..

So why not a few more?

No son. What one doesn't

know doesn't really hurt

But when I know you are my son,
