Agnel's attempts to rein in Sultan fail, but he keeps tabs on him and his romance with Bollywood actress, Rehana; as well as his new recruit, Shoaib, the son of Sub-Inspector Khan.

Means of living.

So tell me, who's greater?

The government or sultan.

The man you're praising

is a sinner.

We cannot judge what's

wrong and what's not.

If he steals from one he

distributes it in others.

If he's a killer, he's also

a benefactor to others.

I don't want to be his

master or his slave.

All i say is that...

...there's a reason behind

his every action.

There's a reason, money.

Of course.

And he's in a hurry to

earn money as well.

It's not about money.

The power involved is unlike

anything ever experienced.

Concentrate on your

shop, shoaib.

If it was me...

...i would've restrained any

further relations with them

i don't want be friends either.

I just want to make it big.

After that the world

will be at my feet...

...and i'll walk over it.

They're no match for my

jewellery which was stolen.

And what're you smiling at?

Will you show us some

more jewellery?

If you really cared

for my jewellery...

...you would've been in

the police station.

I've called them umpteen

times. - Madam.

Madam, can i show

you a necklace?

Look.

First take this one off.

The one you're wearing.

- No, ma'am.

It's not for sale.

Rascal, thief.

Take it off. - What?

Take it off! - What

are you saying?

Look, raman, this

is my necklace.

It bears my symbol.

Take it off. - You thief, wretch.

Madam, you're crossing

your limits.

I'm not retaliating and you're

calling me a thief.

Fine, you might've

not stolen it.

But you must have bought

it from a thief.

What's wrong, madam? - She's

wearing my necklace.

It was stolen from my home.

Ask her where she got it from?

Sir, i'm not a thief.

Shoaib gave me this necklace.

Shoaib? Where can

we find shoaib?

That's him.

Look, he's the one.

Didn't i tell you?

Thief. - Yes.

He gave you a stolen

necklace. - Yes.

He's the one that broke

into our house. - Yes.

He tied us up and stole

everything. - Yes.

Mumtaz.

What yes?

Take a look inside whether

our stuff's inside...

...or has he sold it?

He can't sell our stuff,

he absolutely can't.

Hey. Where is our stuff?

Our radio, our television.

See, everyone, this man

broke into our home...

...tied us up and stole

everything.

Shikha, there are two

of my watches.

Are you listening?

Are you listening?

Shoaib. - Raman.

Shoaib. - Raman.

What are you doing? Do

you want to kill him?

Leave him.

Don't hit him. Raman.

Shoaib.

Call the police quickly.

Or he'll kill him.

Raman, call the police.

Someone please call the police.

What are you all staring at?

Someone call the police.

Also call the doctor.

Sultan sir.

How did you bet on a loser?

He ruined everything.

What else can you expect if you

put a man in wrong profession?

Forget about being grateful

to brother...

what attitude.

He did a favour to my

father and not me.

Give me a chance to

work with you.

You'll profit double the

amount that you lost.

You think this business

is a child's play...

...where anyone can

do as they please.

There's nothing that can't

be conquered with courage.

Courage is not something

to be spoken about...

...it's best displayed.

Stop them, sultan.

Or else they'll kill him.

No pain... no gain.

You said... that i should

choose one master.

So i did.

Now... do you have the ability

to choose the right man?

What did you say?

Nothing.

From now you'll say only

what i want to hear.

Chandru. - Yes.

Teach him the trade.

Get up.

Come on.

Sultan, i think he isn't

the right choice.

We don't have jobs for

the right ones.

He'll surely do something big.

Why?

Because... he values his victory.

Sir... i made a big mistake.

Shoaib has joined sultan

in his illegal business.

I don't know what to do, sir.

No matter how dark the

night is, khan...

...the dawn always brings light.

Shoaib is blinded by the glitter

of sultan's world.

The day he takes off

the blindfold...

...he'll come back to reality.

And one of us is there.

We won't let anything

happen to him.

Don't worry.

I'll handle everything.

Some people take

up a fast pace...

...to leave their past behind.

Shoaib was one of them.

His name appeared in every

complaint, every file...

...and every report.

Then i felt that after

all he's khan's son.

So shoaib can be used

to take down...

...sultan, wardhan, pathan,

vishnu and varghese.

But that was the biggest

mistake of my life.

I tried to play with fire.

And the fire broke out.

That's a steel lock and not a

cloth that you can... - wait.

I doubt it.

No one can open this lock in

a minute without the key.

Stop your nonsense.

And pass me that

wire. - This one?

Give me that wire.

Shoaib, what's that?

What is that?

That belongs to the police...

...where did you steal it from?

I suggest that you

throw it away.

We don't require it,

throw it away.

This is a gun.

It makes everyone bow.

Whoever controls it... controls

power.

Either the game changes

or the player.

Shoaib.

What are you doing?

Leave him. - Move it.

Javed, explain him.

I just need to move my finger...

...and that'll be the end of you.

Leave it, shoaib.

Let him go.

When we'll together stand

for sultan mirza...

...it'll double his power.

Double.

A person normally gets romantic

after drinking.

Talks about the moons

and the stars.

But you slip into flashback.

When you run from your past...

...you can never win in life.

I've been sharing a drink with

you for the past two years.

You drink everyday

and become poetic.

A person should change

with time.

Time never changes... it

only passes away.

What would you've changed?

Everything except for you.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Autograph please.

Thank you.

I'll always keep it

close to my heart.

So i don't mistakenly spend it.

Thank you so much.

That's how india is divided

in two parts.

The rich tore a 1000

rupees note...

...which didn't make a

difference to him.

And the poor have never seen

a 1000 rupees note yet.

I've an idea.

Someone should make

a film on you.

It'll be a success before

it's released.

So will you make me act now?

I can make someone else act.

That new boy, amit.

The new superstar.

He'll suit perfectly.

His eyes are similar to yours.

Very expressive.

Shall we order food?

Yes.

How is the food? - Hot. Like you.

I mean how does it taste?

Tangy and spicy like you.

You're just...

i never understand whether

you're speaking the truth...

...or fooling me.

That's one habit about girls.

When we speak the truth they

say we're fooling them.

And when we fool them

they believe it.

Can i ask you something?

Will you be honest? - Yes.

I hope that necklace incident

is not repeated again?

Don't ever... talk about

that necklace...

...or my failure again.

I just want to succeed.

Move ahead.

I've forsaken those petty ways...

...which held me back.

At least finish the food.

I bought a new house...

...so you don't have to

live in that crowd.

Look at me.

This... is a nylon silk shirt.

Do you know how expensive it is?
