You're leaving with your

Where did your wife go?

Don't scream. She's not coming.

Why not?

- Let it be.

What catastrophe

is keeping her here?

Don't know. Maybe

she doesn't like me.

How can she not like you?

The witch is mad.

Not all women are sweet like you. .

- but Can't you bless me?

May god give you sense..

Don't go.

to sit on your lap?

period., Don't waste your time.

You're not letting me do business

nor are you making me a member.

is the president of the union.

You can become a member only with

his letter. You won't become a member.

So do we go back to the village now?

lf we don't, we'll

be out on the streets.

Who are you?

Who are you?

l live here.

l don't live here, okay?

Then why are you

staring at my building?

letter even to look now?

The building is on the road,

the road is the Government's..

..these eyes are mine..

the country is free.

l can stare at whoever,

whenever l want. Don't bug me.

Go watch your dog piss.

Very good.. anger early in the

morning is very good. Let's walk

What's your name?

You've turned your

city into a club..

..you've to wear a

suit and talk in English

They've turned Bombay into a dog..

Good. Being angry with

Bombay is very good.

l am angry with one man..

l want to slap him..

He promised me a letter..

..four months ago and

then tore up my application.

He doesn't wake up before ten

o'clock, how will you slap him?

Do you know him?

Since he was this little.

Can you do something for me?

l don't believe in giving

or taking recommendations.

But you look like a big

social communist leader.

You should help the poor.

And if l say no?

That's a problem. l

can't hear the word no.

Come to my office tomorrow.

Will you get the letter for me?

l'll make sure your voice is heard.

How?

newspaper Swatantra Samachar.

l haven't learnt to lie yet.

Good, come tomorrow.

Trading's big shot Arzan Contractor..

The country is free but..

..when will the trade markets

be free from Arzan Contractor?

Mr. Contractor considers himself

the undisputed lord of the union..

..and Mr. Gurukant Desai his enemy.

..now nobody can stop Guru

from becoming a businessman.

A very big businessman.

Bigger than anybody..

am l talking too big?

A bit.

Here l am, right beside you.

But you won't last - There

are a dime a dozen like you..

There's just one person

like me here - only Guru.

l didn't know you had so

many complaints against me.

You should have talked to me

- not the papers.

lt's difficult to meet you.

Today you're in

trouble so you've come here..

..or you go only to the club.

lt seems like this trading

association doesn't require me.

l am resigning.

No.

Let him go, someone

else will come along.

Quiet. You needn't go sir.

He's decided.

Now even God can't make him

change his decision, isn't it?

My decision won't

change but times will.

Anything could happen tomorrow..

don't come crying to me.

lf we're going to be that scared,

how'll we do business?

Don't worry.. we are the fearless.

What was your name again?

Not 'was', it still is..

and will always be..

Where is that villager Guru?

You opened a new

office without calling me?

Meenu, what do we do with him..

l'll do it.

Which tooth?

This one.

My name is Meenakshi.

Jalkukdi.. Meenu. No.

- Yes. - No.

She won't accept defeat.

lt's too small a place for you..

That he doesn't have faith in

himself and has to depend on God.

He was right.

No. God and l don't get along.

lf you offer it as a

sweet l'll eat it.

You'll get both or neither.

She's smarter than you.

Why don't you treat the

prasad as a sweet and..

l'll treat the tilak as just colour.

You've to have your way.

Such a struggle for a tiny sweet!
