" Sargam, please say something!

Tell him that you know me"

Remember? There hasn't been

a day in 3 years...

when we haven't spoken in the day

What are you looking at me for?

Tell him that you know me!

Don't you recognise your mistress?

My mistress was an angel. Don't even

utter her name with your filthy tongue

" Come on, aunt

- Don't leave me here. Please!"

Hear me out... l'm Geeta!

" You know, Rakesh is always lost

in his wife's memories"

That's right.

- Her funeral pyre...

" hasn't even cooled yet, and

you've started all this"

l'm terribly sorry to have asked

the Thakur and you to come here

" But believe me, l'm helpless too.

l must get over these formalities"

l have a request. Please don't

call Rakesh here again

l want him to overcome

his sorrow

" lf you keep calling him here, he will

never be able to overcome his grief"

" l'll do my best, believe me"

l have all the sympathies

for the Thakur

" As far as possible, l won't

ask him to come here again"

Thank you. Good bye.

- Good bye

The kohl in my eyes...

shines like lightening

" Embrace me please, my love"

As if they hold intoxicating wine...

my two eyes are full of mischief

They shall keep hiding...

behind my eye-lashes

l shall feel shy...

and give you an intoxicating look

l'm madly in love

l'm the woman of your dreams

" Coming from our

previous lifetime..."

l'm your beloved

" Accept me as yours

in this lifetime too"

The kohl in my eyes...

shines like lightening

" Embrace me please, my love"

The Thakur has said it in plain words

that she's not his wife

The proceedings in the court

begin tomorrow

lt's necessary for us

to get to her

Come what may

What a nut you are! l told you l

didn't put my hand in anyone's pocket

You're here again...?

What has she done this time?

" She put her hand in a man's pocket,

right outside our police station"

" When he caught her at it,

she started abusing him"

" Lock her up in the cell.

- This guy's blind, lnspector"

" Ask him to put on glasses!

- Move it, old lady..."

Get up

Case No. 227.

State versus Suryavar Singh

The charges levelled against you

will be read out to you

You are charged for

colluding with bandits...

" Ganga Singh and lshwar Singh

who fell to police bullets,..."

" and Suryavar Singh, who is

a fugitive of the law..."

with whom you formed a gang with the

intention of robbing and killing

" On the night of January 24,

in village Alouni..."

you raided the liquor shop

of one Jhumarmal Paumal

Under the pretext

of performing a dance...

you and your gang assembled the

villagers at one place...

and helped your other accomplices

to rob the place

" Besides, you stabbed and wounded

the village chief with your dagger"

" Under Sections of 1 20, 396 and 326

of the lndian Penal Code..."

you will be tried in court

l have concluded my arguments

in this case yesterday

l have even presented

the eye-witnesses

" lf the accused has something to

say in defense, she may go ahead"

You have heard the charges

framed against you

Do you confess to your crimes?

Please do not speak in gestures

The court would like to

hear you narrate your version

Do not be afraid. Until

your crime is proved...

the court will consider you

innocent and blameless

l once again ask you:

do you confess to your crime?

" No, l have not committed any crime.

l'm innocent"

l'm not the woman against whom

these charges are being framed

" l'm the wife of the renowned

lawyer, Thakur Rakesh Singh"

" Your Honour, Thakur Rakesh

Singh's wife is dead"

Thakur Rakesh Singh was called to

the police station for identification

And he stated there that

the accused is not his wife

Let's concede that Thakur Rakesh Singh

does not take his woman for his wife

But whether this woman

is indeed his wife or not...

" will be decided by this court,

not Thakur Rakesh Singh"

" lf you wish, you can appoint a

competent lawyer to contest your case"

l've just said that my husband

is himself a renowned lawyer

l don't need any other lawyer

Thakur Rakesh Singh will come

to this court only as a witness

lt's obvious that he cannot fight

this case for the accused

Would you like to consult

another lawyer?

No

" You can present your own defense,

if you wish to"

l'd like that

Do you have any witnesses?

My witness is none other than

my husband Thakur Rakesh Singh

lssue summons in the name

of Thakur Rakesh Singh

You people are heartless.

My son is already suffering...

and you want him to appear in court.

He has already said it...

in the police station that he

does not know that woman

And you bring summons for him.

- l can't help it. That's the law

l only follow orders

Where is the Thakur?

l must serve these summons to him

He's in his room upstairs.

Follow me

What was that woman saying

at the police station?

She said she was our mistress.

- Wonderful

" ln which case, we must

bring her home"

Moron! Our mistress is dead.

- So who was she?

She's a bandit.

- But she said she's our mistress

That's because she wants to

take our mistress' place

" We must help her then, isn't it?

- What nonsense!"

The Thakur is lonely

" lf she comes over, the Thakur

will be happy again"

ldiot! How many opium pills

have you swallowed?

Three.

- Have another and make a move

What was the lady saying

in court?

Didn't you get it?

Do you want me to explain?

Suppose your father had died.

- Let him die

And your Mom is young and rich.

- But she isn't

Who?

- My mother

Suppose she is. And someone claims

to be her husband. Then?

l'd clobber the bastard...

- Enough! Enough

Do you get it now?

So make a move

Sargam...

- lt isn't a season for that!

lt's time for this Sargam.

Take a look

Munshiji...

She's asking for me!

Bankeji...

Me too!

We aren't so ignorant

We'll find a way

Where does she go from there daily?

- Let her go

" This is where she'll

come back, isn't it?"

And she'll say...

Munshiji...

" To me, she'll say, " Bankeji..."

Now make your move

" Munshiji, what was the lady

saying in court?"

" Doctor, one spoonful of sugar?

- Yes, just one spoon"

Right too

" We get great tea at your place, sir.

What brand do you use?"

l won't tell you the name.

- Why not?

lt at least brings you over somehow

lt's good for my health to

spend some time with you

Thank you.

- We get to discuss so many things

Or it's the same old story

of crime and criminals

" Believe me, l spend a whole day

standing in the court"

" You're right, it takes patience.

l'm fed up with just one case"

What are we to do with this woman?

We've examined over a dozen witnesses.

And every kid in town knows...

that the Thakur's wife is dead.

But this woman continues to say...

that she's the Thakur wife.

She's just not scared

Why would a woman who

isn't scared of bullets...

" be scared of a lawyer's arguments?

- That's okay, lnspector."

But she has made a very big mistake.

- What?

She has got Rakesh Singh to attend
