Stop messing with me, or else

l'll strip you before all of them!

What are you talking

about, Sahil?

Don't interfere, Mom!

You will strip me?

Strip your father?

- Never mind him, please...

- You have spoilt him!

This is the limit!

l'll give him another chance.

He'd better apologize to everyone,

or he won't like the consequences.

What more harm can you

do to me anyway?

l'll throw you out of my house!

You'll be out on the streets,

to be rejected everywhere!

There's no place for cheapsters

like you in my house!

You've proved you are

my step-father, haven't you?

You heard him. He has admitted that

he was only interested in my mother.

- Not to accept me as his son..

- lnsolent rascal!

Why have you stopped? Dig the

knife in your mother's heart!

To kill your father, you will first

have to pierce my heart!

Had he only not been your husband,

l'd have dug the knife in him!

What are you laughing for?

l can't help it! lt's

something we must mourn...

...but l can't help laughing

looking at you guys!

Get out! Go outside and laugh!

Even if Chaudhary's daughter does

not marry the Governor's son...

...what is certain is that...

...they're one now.

We're one, too, Vilasrao.

l swear by the Gods!

l won't let things go haywire.

We must find a serious cure for

this grave problem, minister.

You're right.

l wish to say something.

Whether Sahil cares for me or not,

l love him with all my heart.

l will someday make a place

for myself in his heart.

Why aren't you trying to

see the point?

Your Dad has nothing against

Diwan and his daughter.

ln fact, he likes lsha.

But you will be happier

if you marry Sheetal.

That's enough, Dr Gandhi!

Don't defend your friend anymore!

Who the hell is he to decide

things in my life?

Stop drinking now. Go home.

l'm going to decide this tonight!

Yes?

What is it?

l'm helpless. l can do

nothing about this.

Mr. Governor...!

Father...!

God! Who did this?

Who did it to you? Speak up!

Speak!

ls anybody there?!

Mother...

lt wasn't me, mother...

l've done nothing!

What else can l say,

My Lord?

He launched an attack on the deceased

at the party on August 29th !

Thanks to the guests who

were present there...

...he contained

his sinful intentions!

On the night of the 30th,

he found the opportunity...

...and killed his father!

Without wasting the court's

time, Your Honor...

...l'd like to present leading

personalities of the city...

...who stand testimony to

Sahil's waywardness!

l swear by every holy Text! Had

Shardadevi not interyened...

...he'd have killed his father on

the night of August 29th itself!

l was stunned to see his true colors

on the night of the 29th.

He attacked his father

with a dagger in hand!

He screamed that he

would kill him!

He has killed the Governor!

That's the cent percent truth!

The poor Governor tried

to make him see sense.

He was beside himself,

addressing him as his ''son''.

But this boy had

murderous intentions.

He's a step-son. No wonder he

could do something so heinous!

There's no doubt at all!

He is the one who has

killed the Governor!

When the police arrested Sahil Sinha

at the site of the crime on the 30th

...he was dead drunk.

The finger-prints on the weapon of

murder and the deceased's body...

...belonged only to Sahil Sinha.

l have been appointed

to defend Sahil Sinha.

lt's a record that l have

never lost a case in my life.

But l would like to

lose this case today.

This is the Will of the Governor

Sinha, which was entrusted to me.

lt clearly states that the

heir to all his wealth,...

...will be not his

only son, Harsh Sinha,...

...but Sahil Sinha.

lt was his lust for wealth that

compelled him to murder his father.

He showed his true colors, the

moment the Will was prepared.

That is a lie!

And so is your case!

l have not killed my father!

But nobody believes me!

So l am a liar! So is the police,

the case and the witnesses!

But a mother would never

lie on such an occasion...

...especially when her son is

being sent to the gallows!

l'd therefore like your permission

to present Sharda Devi in court.

Permission is granted.

So, Sharda Devi... what did you see

at the scene of the crime?

ls it a lie that the accused

was dead drunk?

ls it a lie that he was in

a murderous mood?

ls it a lie that he mercilessly

stabbed your husband to death?

lt's true.

Every word that you

have uttered is true.

He is the one who has

killed my husband.

He has killed his father!

lt's better to be childless,

than have such issues!

You could have killed me, too!

Why didn't you?

Why didn't you kill me, too?

The verdict will be

pronounced tomorrow.

ln view of the testimony of witnesses

and the evidence at hand...

...this court reaches

the conclusion that...

...that Sahil Sinha mercilessly

killed his father.

Under the lndian Penal Code 302,

this court awards Sahil Sinha...

...Rigorous lmprisonment

for 1 4 years.

How could this happen, Sahil?!

l can never live without you!

This is a lie, lsha. Believe me.

l have been framed.

But l know for sure today...

...how much my father loved me.

Let's go.

Do something for Sahil, dad!

Get in.

- l want to have a word with him.

- Not allowed... get in!

Give us a minute, inspector?

Please?

You have only a minute.

No matter what anyone says, l will

always consider you innocent.

Won't you embrace me,

before l leave?

There's a locket in

my pocket, Sheetal!

Quietly pull it out. l haven't

told anyone about it.

l found this in Dad's hand

when he breathed his last.

Make sure you keep it safely.

This might perhaps take me

to the real killer!

Shut the door.

Move!

You show me your strength?!

You have murdered your father!

You have killed your father!

You dare show me

your strength?!

You show me your strength?!

You have a lot of steam, eh?

This was the reception

on your arrival!

Behave like newly married bride!

Keep your voice and eyes lowered!

Or you're going to get

the stick again!

Hurry up in the queue..!

Give that to me... just get lost!

Give me a plate, guys... Quick!

So, ''chicken-chilly'' ?

You're fuming, aren't you?

He's a tender guy!

Calm down... calm down, son.

This will aggravate the situation.

Besides, they're

professional killers.

Sit down.

You want to eat, right?

Share my food with me.

l'm an old man, as it is.

l can't eat so much.

Let's eat.

What crime are you serying

a sentence for?

l have been accused of

killing my father.

ls it true?

That's what the Law thinks.

And my mother does not

believe my innocence too.

But l believe you.

l'm no longer interested

in the world outside.

l'm all alone.

Our landlord set my wife

and kids on fire.

l'm serying a sentence

for killing him.

l'm not interested

in going out.

But you have to find the

real killer of your father.

You have to win back

your mother's trust.

How will l do that? An escape

from here is impossible!

There is only one way
