Beauty! Look!

Look! - You can't

understand anything, man.

Look, ripe mangoes.

Hello beautiful! How are you?

Hey he's a guy!

- Oh a guy! Not my kind.

What a fool!

- Look, here's a girl.

Until I lighten up,

my brain doesn't work.

And moreover, my hands have

been aching for the past 10 days.

What is your name?

- Sugar! - Sugar!

C'mon, pal! You are

possessed just about one thing.

I agree but my father had told

me not to be possessed at anytime.

When I was small,

my father told...

You fool! When your dad

makes your strip and kicks...

...you on your ass,

then you'll understand.

Which dad? The one in the

morning, the one in the...

...afternoon, the one in the

evening or the one at night?

Even my mom doesn't know

who my actual father is.

Not even my mother, you know...

You know which dad

I'm talking about.

The one whose powder you

threw in the L.A. atmosphere.

I'll think of some

plan to pay him back.

Hey pal! We should find

some solution to this problem.

Then what do you think? Does

those people's idea to loot...

...a bank, provide a solution?

I'll think of something.

You don't worry.

You'll think? - Look, if you

feel that what those four fools...

...think is right, then

you're a bigger fool than them.

Man, their money...

- Don't eat my brains, man!

If you can arrange

for the money somehow...

...then do it. Do

it however you want.

Let me think about

my little brother.

Listening to all these

boring talks of yours...

...I feel that it must have

gone slept off standing. - Ok! Ok!

Think, what if

they loot the bank?

Then it's their good fortune.

- Not their good fortune, but ours.

How's that? - Look, if the plan

fails, then we all will escape.

There's just a

distance of four bullets...

...between us and

millions of dollars

After this, the money that was

supposed to be split into six...

...will be split into two.

One yours, and the other mine.

Mine will be split

among these people.

C'mon, man! - C'mon, Bali! -

No! No! I'll be back after...

...killing four others. - What?

- No, you won't understand.

I'm coming. - Coming? - I'm

coming. Don't worry. Let's go!

Did they like your

job very much? - Yes.

This time I've

found the right people.

Now there's

nothing more to fear.

I have full faith in you. You

can never do anything wrong.

But what if it's too late?

- I won't let it be late.

It's my promise.

So you all are ready.

- Yes, alright.

The plan is...

- Just a minute, Major.

What's this? - I knew that

this rascal had stolen the truck...

...and we all got screwed.

That's why I'm splitting

the money among all of us.

All of you keep the

money on the table.

Why? - Because in

order to loot a bank...

...we need guns, cars,

cameras explosives...

...and for all

that we need money.

What if I hadn't

been a gentleman, Major?

Then we would've

stolen something else.

We can steal

something else even now.

Let's keep the money

with us for the time being.

No, Bali. Major is right.

When there's a feast,

why should we beg?

Andy!

This money is enough for me.

C'mon, it's good. The money

that was to be split into six...

...will now be split into five.

- No! Even now, the money...

...will be split into six.

- Why?

Will you give me an

extra share, Major?

Not at all. Every gadgetry

in the bank is computerized.

The cameras, vaults, everything.

It has a security code. And

we need a software engineer...

...to break that code.

Why do we need an engineer,

Major? This Tarzan is with us.

He'll break the code.

We've to break the

bank's vault, Bali.

Not the bank manager's neck.

Why are you

unnecessarily trying...

...to make him understand, Major?

He doesn't know the difference

between software and underwear.

What do we do now, Major?

- We've got to get Andy.

This is not enough. - I love

my son, isn't that enough?

No.

- Meaning?

Look, Andy. This money is

enough to fight the case.

But not enough to win it. To

win the case, the judge will...

...ask whether your son has

a bright future with you.

Whether your son will get new

clothes, toys to play with...

...will he see a

college from inside.

The answer to all these

questions is money, Andy.

A lot of money. I'm sorry, Andy.

Lifting up their collars...

...puffing on a cigarette.

Lifting up their collars...

...puffing on a cigarette.

What's there to worry about?

Whatever has to

happen will happen.

They've started, blowing off

their worries in a cloud of smoke.

Don't know

what'll happen, Oh God!

Don't know

what'll happen, Oh God!

They want dollars, they want

pounds, they want to hear...

...the sound of gold coins.

This guy is a fool, he

doesn't know anything.

He just wants money.

What's there to worry about?

Whatever has to

happen will happen.

They've started, blowing off

their worries in a cloud of smoke.

Don't know

what'll happen, Oh God!

Don't know

what'll happen, Oh God!

Don't know

what'll happen, Oh God!

Don't know

what'll happen, Oh God!

If the police comes then

it'll come from here, or here.

Meaning, here, here and here.

I want all of you to check...

...every nook and

corner of every street.

Do not leave even a corner,

not even a single inch.

Otherwise we won't know from

which way death will come for us.

They left behind all

their friends and relatives.

They broke all

the laws of society.

For the sake of

unknown paths...

...they turned

their backs to life.

What's there to worry about?

Whatever has to

happen will happen.

They've started, blowing off

their worries in a cloud of smoke.

Don't know

what'll happen, Oh God!

Don't know

what'll happen, Oh God!

Don't know

what'll happen, Oh God!

Don't know

what'll happen, Oh God!

But we've to keep the people

in the bank under control.

We've to keep

them under control.

Neither do I want

any bloodshed there...

...nor any innocent deaths.

There aren't

answers to all questions.

Then why are there questions?

Major, make him understand.

Why should Major make me

understand? - Shall I continue?

I swear on Allah! No

one throughout America...

...can give you

more stuff than me.

Mark, shall we take everything?

- Why?

Are you going to fight a war?

You can even fight a

war with all these, dear.

I swear on Allah! Half

of Kashmir resounds with...

...the sound of my bombs.

Hasn't anyone

caught you till date?

How will anyone catch me?

I'm a very smart man.

I've very highly

placed contacts.

So you've very highly

placed contacts eh? - Yes, why?

You think that

you're very smart eh?

I don't think so,

I'm very smart.

Then rat, hasn't anyone told

you not to talk of destroying...

...India when amidst Indians?

Dear one! Whatever

an Indian might be...

...he never likes two things.

One is, losing in cricket...

...and secondly,

attacking our country.

They're so determined

that the earth is...

...above them and

the sky below them.

The burden of the earth

fell on the earth and died.
