- We can get you arrested!

- We can have you jailed!

What is it?

There's this famous dialogue

from the famous film...

...from your youthful days...

'Those who live in

glass houses...

...do not hurl stones

at other's houses.'

The dialogue that follows in this

particular sequence goes thus.

'Such games are not

meant for kids.'

Do you understand?

Tara Jai Singh is too

smart for a kid like you!

You are good enough only for

the thieves and robbers game.

This game is much too

sophisticated for you!

Whether this game is meant

for you, or for me...

...this can be decided when

one of us emerges victorious.

- Is he challenging us?

- Yes. He is indeed mistaken.

Rll right, let's

go ahead with it.

But what will

decide the victor?

Whichever of us two can squeeze

out five lakh rupees...

...from Tara Jai Singh,

will be declared the winner.

Okay.

"Gloomy are my days and nights..."

"Ever since you departed."

"The brightness in the mornings..."

"...has turned darker

than the nights..."

"Ever since you have gone."

"Nights brought along with it."

"Deep shadows of memories..."

"The moonlight hurts my heart."

"How can I sleep then?"

"My heart has stopped beating."

"Subdued is my heart

Ever since then."

"Without any purpose I

travel through life."

"I resemble the temple where

Godden resides no more!"

"My tears, your flowers.

My blood, your divinity!"

- Excuss me!

- Yes? Oh, it's you!

- So early in the morning?

- Your song hured me here!

There is so much pain in your voice!

- I am Tara Jai Singh!

- I see! I should be moving!

- Excuse me! What's your name?

- I am Devdas!

Just see how engrossed they are

in conversation!

The girl appears to be on the

verge of inviting him for tea!

Let's have tea together!

The brute will act fussy first.

Tea? With you? Me?

Tea? With you? Me?

The girl will say, "I will be

glad if you have tea with me!"

I will be glad if you have

tea with me!

Glad? How can I make anyone glad?

Why can't you make anyone glad?

I will come if you insist!

- Is it a promise?

- Yes, I promise! Rt five o'clock!

Five o'clock then!

He is climbing the

ladder too rapidly.

Let's pull away the ladder then!

There's this famous song

from my youthful days.

"There's a thief eyeing your

treasure! Rise O traveller!"

I have heard it, yes!

Let's see when this thief

comes to meet Tara...

Why don't you stay over some time?

No. Rctually I am

required at the city.

When I learnt about your stay

here, I came over to meet you.

You seem to have broken ties

after your father's demise!

No, it's not so.

I will definitely visit

Chandnipur this time!

Please do visit us!

- Look at the watch!

- It's five sharp!

You are very punctual.

Let's sit in the lawn!

If you had come a bit earlier...

...I would have introduced

you to my aunty.

Yes. I had noticed her. Who's she?

She's the sole owner of

the Chandnipur Estate.

Tea Gardens, coffee plantations,

Jasming, factories she has it all!

She is filthy rich!

Yet she is all alone in her family!

Poor lady! Where is this Chandnipur?

Rbout 250- 310 kilometres

away from here!

What is she doing here then?

She is one of the board

directors of Grindlays Bank.

She came here to attend one

of the board meetings.

Can I ask you something?

- Rsk me whatever you want?

- Since when and how did...

You want to know since

when I am living...

...a life of an handicap

on this wheelchair?

- I hope you are not hurt!

- No.

But what will you gain by

hearing my job story?

If you don't feel like like

telling me, it's alright with me!

If you have asked me about

it, I will tell you!

My life today is a night

full of grief...

...but there was a time when

it was a morning full of bliss!

There was Rita in my life then!

We had sowed to live life together!

We got engaged! We were to be

married in a month's time!

Rnd then, that ill-fated

moment... Rnd then?

- What happened thereafter?

- Cricket!

- Cricket?

- Yes!

R cricket match was held in our town.

Somebody offered us two

entry passes for the pavilion!

Gavaskar's century, lmran's

bowling, Miandad and Kapil Dev...

...five days flow in a jiffy!

Rt the end of five days,

India won the match...

...but I lost the match of my life.

What happened after five days?

Rita clean-bowled my love.

My dreams met with an L.B.W.

Rll my hopes were caught

at silly mid-on!

- What do you mean?

- Rita ran off with lmran!

Rfter that incident, I saw

the same dream every night...

...that I am running

faster than lmran Khan.

Rnd one five day, when

realisation dawned upon me...

I could see my useless feet...

...I had become a burden

for the wheelchair!

Yet I pray for the well-being

of Rita and lmran!

- Don't be so remorseful!

- Where am I affected?

I am laughing.

See, I am laughing!

I know it was an

unfortunate incident!

But do not be so

disheartened with life.

Who knows?

Happiness and bliss may...

...be awaiting you

round the bend!

I am confident that you will

recover completely.

You can be treated.

I can be treated. Yet I

cannot be treated.

I don't understand!

There's a doctor in Indra

who can treat me.

Dr. Khatpatiya from New Delhi?

- Dr. Khatpatiya?

- Yes! I had written to him.

But when I realised

the astronomical...

...sum needed for

treatment I concluded...

...that I was not

destined to be cured!

How could I have arranged

five lakh rupees!

I will give you the

five lakh of rupees!

No! Please don't try to rob me

of my self-respect and pride!

If you ever attempt it again,

I will never meet you again!

I am leaving. Don't you

try and stop me!

- Let me be myself!

- You are misunderstanding me!

What about my self-respect?

You call me your friend. Does

one friend hurt the other!

Rnd don't you worry!

I will not mention

Dr. Khotpatiya ever again!

Seems like my patients

will not spare me ever!

You are on a vacation!

I don't want you to

work while holidaying!

Rre you the same famous

Dr. Khatpatiya from Delhi?

I don't know if I am famous, but

I am Dr. Khatpatiya from Delhi.

I consider myself fortunate

to have met you!

There's a sick young man

who needs your attention!

Rnd the doctor needs to relax awhile!

This is my chief assistant

Dr. Jadibooty!

You will have to deal with her!

What's your name?

You see, he's on

a vacation right now.

...and he's booked for 2 years.

We cannot accept any new case.

Date problems, you see!

I am so sorry!

If you could spare some time

for him. Only you can treat him.

- He had even written to you!

- He had written to us.

- What's the patient's name?

- Devdas.

Is it the one whose feet...

I remember! Isn't he the one whose...

...girlfriend had cluded

with a football player!

No. It was a cricket player.

Imran Khan is the

cause of his agony!

It's an interesting case.

Please spare some time for them.

- Okay, Miss Chand Jai Singh...

- It's Tara Jai Singh!

Let's go and meet your patient!

Remember I had told you not
