Things only get worse between father and son, when Jaisingh wants him to get married to Sheetal, a woman he has chosen to be his daughter-in-law. But Sahil wants to marry another girl by the name of Isha, and no amount of pressure can get him to change his mind. Finally, an argument ensues between the two, with Jaisingh getting killed. The Police are summoned, they arrest Sahil, try him in the Indian courts, convict him, but instead of giving him the death sentence, they put him in jail for life. A defiant Sahil, who still maintains his innocence, finds a way to escape, with the authorities hot on his tail, and leading this chase is a senior policeman by the name of Udham Singh, who has never been known to fail in his job of apprehending runaways and other criminals.

lf he doesn't mind, l would

like to offer some help.

Please do. l'd welcome

any help from the public.

What do you propose to do?

We can announce a reward for those

who have him arrested, brother.

Anyone capturing Sahil alive or dead

will get 10 million Rupees.

Perhaps the lure of money will make

the public get hold of him.

Why do we need the police, if we're

going to take help from the public?

Patwardhan! Your department is

a liability to the state treasury!

What do the police get from your

treasury anyway, Mr. Minister?

3,500 for the inspectors and

2500 for the constables?

Not even attendants in banks would

work for such a pittance nowadays!

Who's this arrogant man?

l haven't donned this uniform to

make 3,500 from you?

Neither am l interested in making

money from under the table!

l have this obsession of

cleaning society of its filth!

Anyone who has this obsession

is often an arrogant man.

That's lnspector Udham Singh...

He's in-charge of the case.

He's the one who shot dead the

other two convicts.

l see!

l'm confident now that he will

surely nab the killer!

Please arrest that man

immediately, Mr. Commissioner!

Or else, my daughter

could lose her life!

What's wrong, Mr. Diwan?

Sahil Sinha has run away

with his daughter.

His daughter and his car have been

missing since last night, sir.

Where have you brought me so

far away from the city, lsha?

Your life is in danger. You are now

being accused for Gandhi's murder.

Staying in the city

could claim your life.

But l can't find a way if

l run away from the problem.

Your life is like

my own life, Sahil.

And l'm taking my life away

from all the dangers.

To a place where we live...

and that, does.

- What's that?

- Our love, Sahil.

10 million! lt's a bloody

goldmine, boss!

The forest guard confirms

what this newspaper says.

That the boy has entered

our state with the girl.

This money has virtually

walked into our state, Sikander.

No one, not even the cops, must

get their hands on this boy.

Your time is up.

Get up.

Hand him over to us, lnspector

No! Don't make that mistake!

Take a look over there.

Leave the girl alone!

lt has to do with 10 million

Rupees, lnspector.

We don't trust you, lnspector.

l have been framed, lnspector.

l have killed no one.

Please let me go.

l do only one at a time.

Right now, l'm busy catching you.

- Why don't you understand...

- My only goal is Sahil Sinha!

And my only goal is to find

the true killer of my father!

Stop arguing with me! Or l'm

going to drag your corpse away!

ln that case, open fire!

Or you will regret it.

You have used up all

the six bullets it had.

Now try and save yourself

from me!

There's no point in waiting here.

Let's return.

Where are you going

with the will?

- Answer me!

- lt will help Sahil, mother.

Don't you know what he has

done to your father?

Sahil can't be a bad man.

- Stop arguing and give that to me...

- No!

What have you come here for?

Aren't you satisfied, now that

you have killed your father?

l have not killed anyone, Mom.

l'm looking for the real killer.

l don't want to talk to you. Go

away... or l will call the police!

- Please forgive him, Mother.

- Keep out of this!

And should you want me to live,

don't talk to him ever again!

He means nothing to us.

You have no brother!

Do you understand?

You are making the very

mistake l made, mother.

l could understand how much Dad

loved me, only after losing him.

l hope you don't realize the truth

only after you have lost me.

What was that, sir?

l must ask Mr. Gupta to eat...

...give this file to

Magistrate Narayan...

...and whom am l supposed to call?

ldiot! Give the file to Mr. Gupta,

telephone Magistrate Narayan...

...and you yourself may

go and eat!

He was here yesterday, to

take his father's will away.

ls it the same will the advocate

Thanawala had prepared?

- The one which figured in court?

- Yes.

Are you back? Go away, l say!

Sahil! lt's you, son?!

What's up, son? You look worried!

A grave injustice has been

done to you! Sit down...

lt's thanks to you that l have

been branded a murderer!

You're mistaken, son.

l've done nothing!

Try ringing the bell or screaming

and l'll crush your hand!

Everything's going

haywire, sir.

My mind has gone blank!

l've got to call Mr. Gupta...

...ask the magistrate to have a bath

and who's to be given the food?

- Hello!

- Hi.

l think l've seen you somewhere.

Now where was that?

- l remember now!

- Do you really?

l saw his picture

in the newspapers!

You must have. l interyiew people

as l'm interyiewing your boss.

Please do a good job. This is

his first interyiew!

Sure! l will do a good job!

After this interyiew, the boss's

picture will appear in the newspaper!

- What is it?

- lt's the Governor's will!

Yes! And you did not reveal every

detail of this document in court!

You have concealed the most

important factor!

lt says that should something happen

to me after father's death...

...you will be custodian

of all his wealth!

So you killed my father and

framed me for the murder!

That would clear your path!

- Where is Thanawala's office?

- Who's that? l don't remember.

- But you work for Thanawala!

- Oh yes! l work for him!

Mercy, son! Have mercy on me!

- Admit to your crime first!

- l confess!

l have betrayed the Governor!

l was blinded by greed!

- So l manipulated the will.

- You've committed the murders, too!

That's not true, son!

l have committed the murders.

You won't come around politely!

- Have you seen this man?

- lt's a familiar face...

- Where have you seen him?

- You can't remember, right?

How much are you going

to hit me, Sahil?

Give it a thought! What would l

gain out of murdering Dr. Gandhi?

- Of course, l remember...

- Speak up then!

l saw him in a lawyer's office.

- Oh yes! l remember it all!

- Do you really?

l've seen this guy in

Thanawala's office!

That had to be Thanawala!

l remember a couplet, now

that l'm in this state.

Wouldn't you like to hear it?

''The trees and the roses...

they all know how l feel''

''lf there's anyone ignorant,

it's the cops''

Wow! Now here is a poet

in bandages!

This is a casualty ward,

not a poet's conference.

Please give us your

statement, Mr. Thanawala.

Sahil Sinha flung me down

from the 2nd floor...

...with the intention

of killing me.

Make sure you press charges against

him for murder, lnspector.

We'd have done that, had

only you been murdered!

- But it will now Section 307.

- That's right. Half a murder.

But why did he attack you?

He wants to kill everyone who

testified against him in court.

Shut up! What on earth

are you laughing for?!

You had testified

against him, too!

l think this ward could do

with some more beds, sir.

For an emergency, that is.

Please do something

about this, Udham Singh!

He has committed three killings

while you are still around!

- Two and a half, actually.
