This is the first time

l see you on time. And...

Hello, Mr Sahney!

Have you met my daughter

Sheetal?

Hello- Sheetal, he is a

famous criminal lawyer.

Mr Sahney, please come with me.

- Hey, Mr Mehta!

l've read about your Nihar

murder case in the newspapers.

You were just incredible

and you won the case.

Really? Are you interested

in such things?

There are many such interesting

and sensational cases.

Now that we know each other,

l'll tell you about it in leisure.

What are you doing tomorrow

evening?

Nothing. Why do you ask?- l

have some work with your father.

A good reason to meet you too.

No place for reasons.

You can drop in at any time.

l must leave now, Miss Sheetal.

So early?- Even l have to work

for a living.

And this fool had to

drop in now, you see. Bye!

Sheetal, meet Vijay.

And she is my daughter Sheetal.

My dear, he is a daredevil

police officer.

l see? So, he is a police

officer?

l don't understand one thing, daddy.

The crime is on the rise day by day.

What does the police do about

it?

Mr Sahney, our police force

and the C.l.D...

...has set an example for the

world.

But, this fact is known only by

few educated people like you and me.

Fools and illiterate people

just ty to find flaws in it.

But we must not take them

seriously.

What do you think?

Am l not right, Miss Sheetal?

Perhaps.

But Daddy, if our police force

is so effective...

...then why doesn't crime cease?

Mr Sahney, if not cease,

crime can be reduced.

But the people must also

understand its responsibilities.

Suppose you leave your house

all open...

...won't it drive the thiefs

bad intentions on?

Ty telling this to people,

and they get furious.

Weird talks! You thinks people

ale...

Come on! Both ofyou have

really got deep into it.

Go ahead.

Throw your questions at me.

Else, how will you gain

knowledge on this subject.

Hey Vijay, you are here?

You are wanted there.

Me?-Eveyone is requesting you

to sing.

Are you kidding?

A song? From a police officer?

- You'll be amazed to hear him.

How will he sing in an orchestra?

He might need a police-band.

Come on! Don't hesitate.

- We are getting late.

''There was this extremely beautiful

young girl...''

''walking down the lane,

all alone''

''She wore clothes, only because

she had to dress in something''

''She looked as exotic as the

sculptures ofthe Ajanta Ellora''

''And there came this young man

who bumped into her''

''You decide this, my friends...''

''whose mistake is it?

Whom are we to punish?''

''You decide this, my friends...''

''whose mistake is it?

Whom are we to punish?''

''That which happened,

could not have been averted''

''She had stepped out of her

house, dressed to kill''

''Had someone not eyed her,

it would have been his decency...''

''had he cast a glance, however,

nothing would escape his eyes''

''A love-lorn man got blamed

for nothing''

''You decide this, my friends...''

''whose mistake is it?

Whom are we to punish?''

''You decide this, my friends...''

''whose mistake is it?

Whom are we to punish?''

''Those endowed with good looks,

have always been beautiful...''

''but they never stepped out

on the streets''

''They wore different clothes

too...''

''but they never adopted a new

fashion almost evey day''

''One fashion leaves,

and another takes over...''

''so decide this, my friends''

''Whose mistake is it?

Whom are we to punish?''

''You decide this, my friends...''

''whose mistake is it?

Whom are we to punish?''

Tomorrow the gold consignment

is arriving at l p.m...

...just 2 miles away from

Rethibunder.

lt's inspector Varma again!

This man has become a menace.

8 millions in gold

have been seized.

Add to it, l have lost mo men.

l wonder where he gets

this information from.

We must find that out, Daaga.

- How?

Should l ask an astrologer

regarding this?

But, Daaga...

- It's quite simple.

lfyou keep an eye on Vijay Varma,

and find out details about...

... people he meets, then it is

possible to identify his informer.

Did you read the news

about your friend?

He risked his life in a dangerous

chase and seized 8 millions in gold.

This kind of daredevily

is his forte.

My friend is a incredible

police officer!

He is an incredible police officer.

And you are a remarkable lawyer.

The only difference is that he

catches criminals... and l free them.

Doesn't any misunderstanding

arise bemeen you mo...

...friends on this regard?

-No way. No chance.

We don't mix our friendship

with our profession.

l can give my life for him.

lfyou mo are such friends,

please include me in your list too.

Who doesn't need a good friend?

Madam, l have written your name

in my list at first sight.

l must entertain you well.

How about one more coffee?

No, thanks.

l must say something. Our friendship

seems to be a one way traffic.

ARer that pam l have come

a dozen times over to your house.

But you haven't set your foot

in my humble home. Not even once.

There's nothing as such.

Someday l will certainly set my

foot at your celestial abode.

Thank you vey much!

l want to speak to Mr Vijay.

Speaking. Who is it?

Yes, Miss Sheetal?

What makes you remember me?

Did someone flirt with you

again?

No, nothing as such.

l read in the papers about your

chase with the smugglers.

Did you read it?

They have glorified you.

l thought of congratulating you.

And l called you up.

Oh l see. Now l get it.

l wondered why'd a pampered rich

girl phone a pem police officer.

But someone said it right,

that today's girls...

...are impressed by famous

people.

You must've already boasted to

eveyone that you know me vey well.

You must be getting

a lot of attention, don't you?

What? What do you think of

me?

My mistake to call you up!

What do you think ofyourself?

A pem police officer.

What's the matter?

You seem to be short-tempered.

You think you've earned

international fame...

...with a piece ofyour exploits

in the papers?

You think l called you because

l am impressed by your fame?

lfthis is not the reason...then

there is only one reason leR.

And that reason you and l know

vey well.

l'll definitely give it a thought.

Have seen yourself in the

mirror?

l am afraid... yes.

While shaving today morning.

Actually, my face is vey expressive.

Especially my eyes. They attract.

Simply great!

l deeply regret to have called you.

l won't make this mistake again!

A lady has come to see you.

All right, come

Didn't l say l'd drop in someday?

And here l am.

You did say.

But l never expected you.

l don't know how to welcome

you.

Anybody there?

Yes, sir?

What would you have?

Hot or cold?

Any cold drink.- Two cold

drinks.- l will bring now, sir.

How is your father?

ls that Mr Vijay's photograph?

- Yes.

He is my only friend. Which is why

l have kept his photograph.

But the walls in this room

are still empty.

Why don't you fill it up

with some good photographs?

Shall l ?
