but as an uncle, and tell me...

...how you exchanged the bottles

of medicine and poison, and why?

That man was a danger to us.

The police awaited his revival.

l had just one choice to

keep his mouth shut.

That night l was present at

the hospital as an electrician.

And that poisoned medicine,

the doctor gave to that man!

lf that's how it is, then

nobody can touch you.

Go and sleep like a log!

No lawyer can save her now.

Because the medicine is poisoned!

Dr. Mathur, the poison

that was in this medicine...

...which was found in the victim

as per the post-mortem report.

- What are his chances of escaping

escaping death? - Very few.

But, if the poison, before

it enters the blood is...

- ...removed from the stomach, it...

- And how long does that take?

Sometimes 2 minutes,

or even 2 hours!

After that the man has

no chance to he saved?

Thakral refused this case.

He says...

- ...no lawyer can ever win it.

- l will!

With all the proof and statements

given, it's proved beyond doubt...

...that Dr. Mrs. Mathur murdered

her patient Damodar.

The bottle, which she had brought

for her patient, Damodar...

...is very much in the Court.

And also the chemical report.

Which states that this bottle

contains no medicine, but poison!

On behalf of the accused,

the Defense lawyer...

...may present her innocence.

lt's a fact that the deceased

was a prime witness for the police.

Who was silenced forever.

And it's also true, that, the

accused, Dr. Mrs. Mathur...

...went to the hospital, with

the medicine that night.

And it's also a fact, that

one minute after drinking it...

...the patient, Damodar, died.

But all this doesn't prove...

...that the doctor is responsible

for the death.

All the charges made against her

stress only the fact...

...that the medicine given by

this doctor, to that dead man...

...was a poison.

And l say it's a lie!

My learned friend forgets, that,

right now, on this table here...

...the medical report along with

the bottle proves, that it is poison!

- This bottle contains poison.

- Yes.

l've read the medical report,

which does say it has poison.

But before coming to a verdict

in this case of life and death...

...we must not forget that the

report is not sent by God.

There may be an error in it.

l challenge this chemical report.

There is not a drop of

poison in this bottle.

lt has only medicine which

cannot kill or harm anybody.

You must be having proof

to prove what all you say.

Yes, l am both the proof

and the witness!

Only me !

- What are you doing?

- Mr.Verma !

What more can l do to prove

whether it's medicine or poison?

The Court feels, that,

it's not fully proven...

...that Dr. Asha Mathur,

murdered her patient, Damodar.

And there's a good chance that

the chemical report may be false.

Thus the court acquits

Dr. Asha Mathur

- Hows he?

- Still out... but out of danger.

The poison spread rapidly.

Further delay would've been too late.

l'll say that

Arun saved you, my dear...

- And God saved him.

- But, why did he do this?

- Just to win a case?

- No.

He always knew Asha wasn't

guilty and he had told me...

...he'd stake his life

to save an innocent.

He's...

...a different type of man.

- l tell you it was poison.

- Then how did he drink it?

Whether it was poison, or not.

We won't get in trouble, l hope.

- Nobody can lift a finger at you.

- The journoes have praised him!

Their standard is going down.

l've solved such cases in no time.

And there's nothing special in it

for the papers to make noise over!

ls Mr. Thakral there?

lt's from your office.

- Your son is demanding 5,000/-

- Give it to him. - But sir...

- ...last week he took 10,000/-

- l told you, Mr. Sharma...

...he's my son. Give him

what he wants. Don't bore me.

Sharma, l have money for him,

but not time!

l hear Vicky's making

a lot of noise in the collage.

My son, after all!

He moves so beautifully.

My wife-to-be doing a job?

Never!

That's when l become a wife.

You still have 2 years in college.

Okay, go ahead and do a job.

But l've accepted you as a wife.

Legal or illegal; Who cares?

Hey! What nonsense is this?

College is like a temple.

Not a don's den!

l'll go and report you

to the Principal right now!

No good man crosses

swords with me, Sir.

Because l'm Thakral's son.

And Mr. Thakral is known

to everyone in the city!

Did you see the papers, sir?

Your name is in the headlines!

Mr. Thakral had said no

lawyer can win the case.

That day will also down...

when l'll talk to Mr. Thakral.

Dr. Mathur had called to

invite you at their place.

And that girl had phoned too.

- Madam, one Mr. Arun is here

to see you. - What!

Ask him to take a seat.

l'll just come.

Madam has asked you to sit

while she's getting dressed.

Don't get up Mr. Arun.

Accomplishment without

words seems incomplete.

- Look sir, l... - These claps were

for the piano recital, and now...

...they'll be for the words.

EROS:

You're standing alone quietly,

and you don't even have a drink.

From the very beginning you've

had a close bond with us.

You saved us from a catastrophe

and you don't mention your fee?

You want to pay me my fee?

l don't mind even setting all

that l own for you.

May you never see such a day!

Unlucky are those who lose everything.

But l'll consider myself lucky.

Tell me what you want.

A car, a bungalow,

a blank check...

Give me this piano, please.

What! This piano?

lt's just an old ordinary piano.

lt's old no doubt, but for

me it's not ordinary.

What's so special about it?

This is that instrument which along

with the notes, hides numerous songs.

You will give me

this piano, won't you?

Before you reach your house,

this piano will be there.

But this is not your fee.

lt's a small gift from us.

- Yes, Gita?

How did you know, l...

Just as a voice is recognized

as soon as it's heard...

Silence too is recognized

if concentrated upon.

- May l say something? - Yes.

- You're a strange man.

l don't know why you are,

the way you are...

But, l would like to know.

- There's nothing worth knowing.

- Worth, or not...

...if l decide that, you won't

have any objection, will you?

- Okay, you take all the decisions.

- Then here's my 1st decision.

Next Sunday, my group is going

on a picnic and you're coming.

And l'll be waiting for you.

EROS:

- What happened?

- Nothing. Nothing at all.

- Were you in some deep thought?

- No, not really. You came?

- l came? Are you alright?

- Of course l'm alright.

- Why? - No. You're not alright.

Let's go to the restaurant.

- We're out of beer.

- So? l'll get some now. Come.

You didn't say what you were

thinking about sitting there.

l told you. Absolutely nothing.

Actually l'm a day dreamer.

Well, since when do you have

this habit of dreaming?

Since l was 6 or 7 years old.

We were in London then.

l studied there till college.

Actually l'm very fond of

music and dancing.

- Of what kind? - Of every kind.
