Now they're ready to skin

each other alive

Bengal's gangsters are divided, sir

Cooperate with us

They are mere pawns in

our game

lt'll be fun

Uncle!

Bala? When did you get back?

Why didn't you let me know?

- You didn't tell me either

- Tell you what?

Did Bikram blindfold you too?

What are you saying, Bala?

Where is Bikram?

To hell with Bikram!

Disaster has struck

What's happened?

He escaped my bullet

lt was you?

Nandita got hit

l missed for the first time.

Wounded my own heart

l love her a lot

Find out if she's all right

l can't go

The police are after me.

Go, see how she is

lf anything happens to Nandita,

l'll burn Calcutta down

- How is she?

- She just made it

- ls Bala all right?

- No, he isn't

Did the police...?

Not the police. Love will destroy

you both

l could slap you!

Destroying your friendship

- For a girl you just met?

- Nandita...

Her name is Nandita

Yes, l know

He chants her name all day

He sent me here to find out

if she's ok

He says he adores her. He'll burn

the city down if she dies

- What did he say?

- You heard me right

Bala knew exactly what

he was doing

l thought he was just

being childish

Go and tell him

l am a bigger gangster

than he is

l love Nandita and she loves me

lf he utters her name again,

l'll pull his tongue out

lf he wants me to forget what

he's done...

Tell him to apologise

Apologise! My foot.

Let Bikram go to hell

l'll shove it up his...

l'll see what a great gangster

he is

There's nothing left between us

And what's left we share

Fifty-fifty

Calcutta swears by your friendship

- They'll swear by our enmity now

- Don't be crazy

lf you two part, it's the end

of our business

Think it over

l have

Bikram drew the portrait

But l'll colour it in

With dark red

Smart. Very smart

Never mourned my brother Dibakar

l promised his wife we would

l took an oath

l swore on Dibakar

l shan't be at peace till l kill

Bikram and Bala

That's right. keep your word

That's why you're part of

the game

Who is the bishop in this game

of chess?

You are, Himanshu

Careful. lf they suspect you...

...they'll kill you with more relish

than they killed Dibakar

Stay close to Bala.

Work for us

But l make the moves

l say:
"Check...

"...and mate"

- You kidding me?

- Dividing what business?

How is it possible?

That's the way it is

The coal, the gas, the wood

all in Bikram's name

He's the sole owner of

the business

We own nothing

Am l right?

Yes, Bala?

Bikram, well done!

Never have imagined it

When they list the greatest

cheats in the world...

You'll top the list

l was busy painting the Goddess

You put your thumbprint on it all.

Stole my share

l thought you were a tiger

But you're a fox

Real smart

You're the king now

The business is yours

and the girl

So?

l won't let your happiness last.

l want my share

lf you have guts where they're

meant to be, come here

Give me my share. Or else

l'll come to Calcutta

And if l do...

l'm on my way

Your ration card

You're legally lndian citizens now

Bikram Bose. Bala Bhattacharya

What are you sharing?

We have equal rights

on everything

Ten for you

Ten for me

And this ration card in both

our names

l don't need it anymore

- So we're even

- One minute

You forgot the most important thing

What?

Nandita

l told you we share everything

You'll have to share Nandita

l'll bury you if you take

her name

Can't l talk of her?

You tricked her into loving you

For years l cared for you

more than a brother

l gave you my share of food

l held you till you fell asleep

l forgave your childish deeds

You turned out to be worse

than an enemy

- You shot at me

- keeping score of the past?

You can't change my mind

with your talk

lf you're so angry with me,

then kill me

l'm not keeping score.

Just reminding you

When l was a boy you once

saved my life

l was indebted to you.

But now we're quits

l will let you live

But if you take Nandita's

name again...

...l'll rip you apart

l mean it, friend

Take my thumbprint

Bala and l started off here,

15 years ago

To think l hit him

You tried explaining. But

he wouldn't hear you

lt pains me, Nandita

He believes l took you away

from him by deceit

l know

lt's difficult. But we

must make a fresh start

Will you marry me?

Nandita, l love you very much

l'll make you very happy

Remember you once said to me

You were like coal

Scrub as hard as you want

You'll never be rid of the dirt

lf you stay with me, you'll

have to be rid of it

You must choose

Between a life of crime...

Or me

This is the first time

My soiled hands have ever

touched an innocent girl

l won't let her go

l promise

l'll change

Never lived before l met you

My heart is in shreds

l was an outsider. A crazed one

Your love has tamed me

Never lived before

You know God loves me

so much

That He drew only one line

on my palm

A dark line of dark destiny

l'll turn so bad. Even coal will

seem white next to me

l shall write your name

in the blowing breeze

Embracing your slender shadow

Holding your shadow in my arms

You are love itself

l will encircle you in the

embrace of my arms

Your eyes are beautiful

My world resides in them

l am lost

Like a wanderer in the desert

You fill my every breath

ln this world and the next

l will seek you out, O beloved

Happy Diwali!

Sarita, get my clothes.

l need two minutes

You? Here?

The gents was full

Don't need a license to use

the ladies

Let go!

l had to talk to you. No better

place to talk

Our story began here, right?

l mean in a ladies like this

Our story?

lt was over ages ago

Sita belongs to Ram

You forgot one chapter of the

Ramayana. know which one?

Sita's abduction

You're in a big hurry, Bikram

l hear your warehouse was

burned down

And a young cabaret dancer

was kidnapped

Suspect anyone?

A hurt friend is more dangerous

than an enemy

You look as if you could pump

him with six bullets

How will you destroy him?

lf you get him,

the law will get you

You'll gain nothing

He played a treacherous game

A blow to your head and heart

lf you're smart...

...make sure he lives, but wishes

he were dead

How?

Stand witness against him

l'll prepare the charge sheet with

you as prosecution witness

l'll have him imprisoned

He's inside and you're outside

with Nandita

Honeymoon

How do you know where Bala is?

How many members in your gang?

Tell me

About 40

l have 40,000. And

they're everywhere

l can arrest him any time l want

We'll be waiting for you in court

at 1 1 tomorrow

Be there

What are you doing?

Why bring her here?

Why?

You'll force yourself on her?

You think she'll fall

in love with you?

Bala, you were right

Coal looks cleaner than you

right now

Bala, enough. Stop now!

l'm talking to you. Understand?

Did she eat?

No

Eat something

This is a new place. Must feel odd

You'll get used to it

You'll like it here

Stop being angry, Nandita

Stay a few days. You'll fall
