there's no problem.

- She has to be found somehow...

we just need her signature

Where to?

To find that woman.

- How?

No idea. I know that she lives

in Rajasthan

How will you go there?

No idea

You are so full of confidence...

yet you know so little

All I know is that He will help me

My dear, all the time, we can't leave

every thing to Him

That's why I'm going myself.

- But where will you look for her?

I got a picture of Amir with Shankar

Rajasthan is a huge city

Will you go knocking doors?

I can't sit twiddling my thumbs

All right

Any other information about her?

And I'm certain

you want to leave right now

Right

I wonder what God was thinking

when He created you

Amir too used to say that

All the buses must've left by now

Can't you wait till tomorrow?

If I wait even a moment, I'll feel

as if I'm driving Amir towards death

I won't return without her signature,

Baig saheb

All right

Come on

Greetings, Binder

Salaam Aleikom, Baig saheb.

After years! How've you been?

God has been merciful. What about you?

- I'm first-class. Who's that?

Zeenat

God! The little one?

I'm grownup now

Binder, I got some work for you

Sure. After a meal

Let's have mutton pilav

Baig saheb, this is madness,

you know

She is crazy too

If anyone can pull it off, it's her

"I cannot..."

"lose courage"

"I cannot..."

"give up my desire"

"So what if the journey is tough?"

"So what if the horizon is hazy?"

"So what if I feel lonely?"

"Even if my paths are laden

with thorns,"

"I must walk"

"Even if the evening

hides the sun,"

"the night must concede to the dawn"

"Autumn will end,"

"Spring will paint the garden"

"A new day will dawn"

I can't go ahead with you,

I got to deliver the stuff

Thank you for all your help

Don't worry, dear. Good willing,

you will find the girl

I will find her out.

- I'm confident

God be with you, dear.

Farewell

Bye

We've run out of opium

Gauri, give her some money.

- I don't have

We don't have few cents?

Shall I ask next month's rent

in advance from Mr Chopra?

No need. No need to beg

My son wouldn't have left

your wallet empty

Never

Had we not sent him abroad for

a few bucks, we wouldn't have had...

to see this day

I'm an astrologer.

- It shows. Go away

If I predict about what you seek,

can I sit here then?

I don't have money to offer you

You can share the food

Okay. Tell me

You have set out on a quest.

You are looking for something

Every person is looking for something

You are looking for...

a woman

Tell me more

You've travelled very far,

tired and weary...

in a huge vehicle, maybe a truck

Thanks

My future?

One minute

You saw me getting off

Sardar's truck, didn't you?

Do you always get away

with this farce?

Sometimes

Actually, I'm a an actor

What?

Actor. Our clan moves about places

in disguise...

Conning people, right?

- No. We entertain people

But you can't act for nuts.

- What are you saying, ma'am?

There's no actor like me.

I can do anything you want, try me out

Folks, aunt has approved of me,

Basanti is willing to marry me...

so I'm not dying!

This earth is my mother, sir.

And he just abused my mother

Dates and dates, Your Honour!

When my arm does the job,

the victim just dies

Circuit, do you know

we have 206 bones...

in our body. Do we ever think of it

when we smash them?

Look, it's raining

Without my beloved,

my heart is hysteric

Give me a glimpse!

Come to me, at least once

Hats off to you. Great actor

Thank you. Bye

To con someone else?

Thank you for the food.

God willing, we'll meet again

Good God! My bag!

I'm sorry, I just dozed off.

I'll just get...

It happened to me too

when Dharamveer's father passed away

A living person is turned into

a lifeless, weak puppet

My own son treated me

like a stranger

Why were you always so harsh

with me, grandma?

I was envious, dear...

of my life

that never was amiable

Your and Shankar's love

would upset me

Strangely, even women

don't care for each other

What can you expect from men then?

Forgive me, my child

For the first time

you have touch me, grandma

And for the first time,

I'm missing Shankar so badly

Everyone is missing him, dear

Why is everyone blaming me?

I'm not at fault

I know, dear

I know

It must be difficult for you to see

someone else staying in your house

You have no idea...

how close I was. So close

The mansion would've been mine

in just few days

But Shankar had to die then

I lost everything that day, Mr Chopra

My son, my mansion,

my honour

I've told you several times

to turn the mansion into a hotel

Does anyone sell his honour,

his integrity?

I'm just letting the mansion to you

for a few days

One day, I shall take

this mansion back

God willing, it will be

I'll leave now

Bye

May I help you?

No need

You look new around here. This place

can be dangerous for strangers

I'll be careful. Thanks

Now that you are here,

we certainly need to play host

Why did you escape

from the police station?

Thanks for finding her

I've been looking for her

She escaped from

Jolapur police station

But Jolapur police station

is 20 kilometres away

Girls are quite fast these days

You are too young

to be an inspector

Where do I explain? Here?

Or at the police station?

Here

Scoot. Or, I'll haul you and

your stooge in for five years

Never seen him before.

- Did you see his moustache?

Amir... your husband?

Yes

And you are out looking for him?

Those documents... mercy petition?

Can you read?

Is he in trouble?

What's the charge?

What?

- Perhaps I can help, if you tell me

Do I trust a thief who

ran away with my belongings?

I'm a thief, but I didn't run away

I returned every penny

I was wrong, forgive me

I just want to help you

in your quest

And why'd you do that?

- Because I'm jobless right now

Because you are

a complete stranger here

Because I know every nook and corner

hereabouts. You will need me

How did a thief just turn kind?

One mustn't lose an opportunity

to help others

Nice line

Where did you steal the money from?

- Are you taunting me?

All right

Now I understand. What else

do we have apart from that photo?

Some thing surely?

What madcap would come

with just a photo?

I would

One photo...?

With one photograph, we are going

to knock every door...

and in twenty years we'll find

this guy named... Shankar?

What's this?

When one's tongue is tied,

his emotions betray him

See the picture on the wall?

The place seems familiar.

It's not clear though

Come with me

Look, this man has been

evading income tax

It's now everyone's responsibility

to nab him...

because he's evading

the income tax department

And...

please enlarge this photograph

We'll glue it everywhere

One photograph, everywhere?

Don't you need copies?

You are the boss

The income tax department

will be grateful to you

In fact, the whole country

will be grateful to you

And... please...

enlarge this particular point

Here you are
