Not exactly, Baby.

You're vanquished.

He looks aRer the transactions

and accounts.

All right. But who will come

to pick it up?

Balwant.

At Malighat. Sharp 4 p.m.

ls that 533285?

- Yes.

l wish to speak to Inspector

Vijay Varma from the special branch.

Go on. l am

InspectorVerma speaking.

A gold consignment is arriving

at Malighat at 4 pm.

Who is receiving it?- You might

be knowing him. Balwant.

See you tomorrow evening.

Come in. The door is open.

Balwant's briefcase contained

500,OOO worth of gold.

100/o is your share. That is

50,OOO.

Here...

- Keep it there.

Won't you count it?

-You must have counted it.

Any news of Balwant?

He's hiding in East View lodge

in Kalina.

Tony, where do you get

this information from?

He'll vanish from Bombay for good

ifyou don't arrest him today,

Halt!

There's nothing to panic.

Bombay's highly reputed criminal

Iawyer will fight Balwant's case.

l got it, Mr Daaga.

Tomorrow is Sunday. He will be

bailed out on Monday.

Fine. But l think it's difficult

to free Balwant from this case.

What's the use of my fees

if l don't free your man?

Rest assured.

l'll be prepared for the case.

l hear, you and Inspector Vijay

are vey good friends.

Absolutely true.

Our friendship dates back to our

childhood. We studied together.

l was thinking ifyou could talk...

- No. No way, Mr Daaga.

Vijay is a police officer.

And l am a lawyer.

lt has happened many times

before.

He has arrested many criminals,

and l have freed them.

But our friendship still prevails

because he hasn't questioned me...

...about my profession. Nor l

have interFered in his work.

And...

Think ofthe devil, and here he

is!

We must leave.

Where were you all these days?

-Right here. Shall we play a set?

ARer them.-l have taken one

more case ofyours.

Balwant's. You arrested him.

You are on to it?

- Yes. Go ahead.

But his chances are grim.

- We'll see that in court.

Why did you take up this case?

-Come on! It's my profession.

You know he's a first rate

criminal. Still you...

lt's not for us to decide

if he is guilty or decent.

Let the court decided over it.

You won't improve.

My client Mr Balwant Singh

works for Roshan Electricals.

On the 15th he was on his way to

the bank to deposit 25,OOO in...

...the company's account. He had

a licensed revolver for security.

He had just got in a cab

and inspector Varma ascended.

He had a pistol in hand.

Your honour, Inspector Varma

was in muRi.

And you see, one's identification

is not inscribed on his face.

My client took him for a crook.

And he tried to escape.

Then Mr Vijay threatened

to shoot him.

To defend himself

Mr Balwant fired at him.

lt's not true.

It is baseless.

Because Mr Balwant vey well

knows me as a police officer.

This is not our first encounter.

On the 16th of October l tried

to arrest him at Malighat.

But he managed to escape.

- Wrong again.

On the 16th of October, Mr Balwant

was lying in the hospital...

...and not in Malighat.

He was ill and was bed-ridden.

This medical certificate...

...proves it.

''Me and you in a locked house''

''And the keys not to be found''

Hello!

lnspector, he...- What times! A

decent man like me...

..can't even walk on the streets!

- Inspector, the fact is...

What is the problem?

l was on my way to the beach

for a swim. He whistled at me...

...and passed remarks at me.

- Lies!

l am seriously stressed up myself!

You see it, don't you?

You proceed.

- Nothing else. l've said it all.

What happened?-Her complaint is

that he teased ...

...and whistled at her.

-l didn't!

Did you whistle?

- Actually...

Did you whistle, or not?

- Yes, l did. But not to her.

l swear.

- Then why?

l am a music buff. l like to

fiddle with instruments.

He also broke into a song

on seeing me. What was that?

''Me and you in a locked house''

''And...''

''And... the keys not to be found''

Constable...

Lock him up.

Tomorrow is court-day.

Make sure the keys

to the lock-up don't vanish.

You can file your complaint.

l would like to tell you

something.

Yes, tell me.

lt's our duty to arrest and teach

a lesson to such third class loafers.

And we do it. But, there are some

duties ofwomen too.

Like what? l don't get it.

Just look at yourself.

lfyou roam about

in these kind of dresses...

..do you think instead ofwhistles

you will hear the temple bell?

What's wrong with this dress?

- There is hardly any.

l've heard, ladies used to

fancy their dresses, longtime ago.

But nowadays, why have you ladies

become so stingy about it?

Now look, what l like to wear

is my personal matter.

l see. Just like the loafer's personal

matter was to whistle, right?

Any matter which troubles others

cannot be personal.

But how does this dress

trouble others?

This question suits the loafer

who whistled at you.

Anay, you seem to be a decent

girl from a decent family.

lfyou put on some decent dress,

then l think it won't trouble anyone.

Anay, it's your wish.

Sawant, take down her

complaint.

What's his name?

He just doesn't possess

any kind of etiquette.

My case is fixed on the 21th.

And the witness...

Don't talk about the court.

This is a pam. Have fun.
