That man does not belong to any

political party or organisation.

He's a terrorist from

a foreign country.

He's a terrorist who has been sent

to destablise our country!

lf only this terrorist

was part of our gang!

Here's our chance for publicity.

Let's have this terrorist!

Kidnap him?

- Yes!

...with live coverage

on the Magan Gupta killing.

We'll show you a glimpse of this

dreaded terrorist any time now...

He is being taken to

a high-security prison.

Which terrorist group

do you belong to?

Switch it off. Go on!

Where's he? He has disappeared!

A sensational twist to

the Maganlal killing!

lnternational terrorist escapes

despite tight police security.

lt raises doubts over

lndian intelligence agencies.

l couldn't figure out anything.

The lights went off...

for a minute, and he disappeared.

Did you see his eyes?

Weren't they so scary?

- But l wasn't afraid.

- Do you think they'll catch him?

lt's a big racket of fake

passports and fake visas.

He'll be some place away by the

time the police swing into action.

l want the reports on all blockades!

Stop your car!

- How're you doing, AC?

Ajay Bakshi and Rhea

Banerjee together!

Let them through...

they're from the press!

According to information received

by lndia's Most Wanted...

a dreaded terrorist,

Mohan Joshi,...

has befooled the law and escaped!

A red alert for all our viewers!

Look at his face...

he looks dangerous.

This man is dangerous and armed.

Do not attempt to catch him

if he is seen anywhere...

you could be risking your life.

l've shaken up the Government!

l have the terrorist in a drum!

Where's Sapre?

- He got left behind.

Naturally. He does not

move with the times!

Open it!

What were you doing in there?

- You locked me in my mistake!

How about him?

- The terrorist left...

in the journalist's car.

- So why didn't you tell me?!

Strange! How can anyone

speak up before you!

You have shattered my dreams!

l want that terrorist!

l want him... where is he?!

Let me... warn you!

Don't think we're scared!

He seems to be a madman, Ajay.

He doesn't understand a word!

This is a warning, okay?

l'm hungry.

- Hungry?!

Can you give me something to eat?

Do you have something?

Check out your bag!

Switch on the camera!

l have half a banana...

l must warn you that the

police are looking for you.

lt has been made clear on

every television channel...

that you are an extremist.

you're a terrorist...

l am not a terrorist!

l'm not!

l had a daughterjust like you.

Her name was Kavita.

Father...

What's wrong?

- She's getting nervous.

Actually, Mom is making

me nervous, father.

Step aside... go on.

Don't scare her.

l've served them for 30 years, dear.

l know Maganbhai's father very well.

He says yourjob is confirmed,

so it's confirmed.

Don't be scared.

Our daughter has an interview!

We must sweeten her tongue.

Do we have any sweets at home?

- No.

No? ln that case,

here's what we will do...

let's make a laddoo out

of this rose, okay?

The rose has disappeared!

And where's the laddoo?

Here it is!

- But that's a peda, father!

Really? Taste it, dear.

ls it really a peda?

- Yes, and where's the laddoo?

So where is the laddoo?

...here it is!

Bangles?!

My daughter, Kavita Joshi. The boss

has called her for an interview.

l'm Kavita Joshi...

Mohan Joshi's daughter.

l have some certificates...

No...! Father!

Why's it barking?

No... please don't!

... father!

lease let me go!

ls the interview over?

- She left half an hour ago.

l was here all along...

when did she leave?

l don't know that.

But she has left.

Magan has....

Why did you take me there, father?

She has suffered injuries.

l think she has been raped.

This is serious. You must

immediately lodge a police complaint.

Why did you take your daughter

there on a Sunday?

Who knows why you went there!

She has been raped.

But why be humiliated in court?

You told me she was raped!

- l suspected it.

Why don't you understand?

l know what you're after.

Go and take the money from Gupta.

l can make him give you

50 or 60,000.

l can't prepare a report

based on mere suspicion.

Take my suggestion and

have her married quickly.

Kavita died.

l don't know what strength

her eyes gave me...

but l decided...

... to take revenge

for the atrocity!

l kept looking for an opportunity

for six long months.

And one fine day, l saw him

at Ramakant Dua's gathering...

Kavita's shrieks engulfed me

the moment l set my eyes on him!

My hand moved on its own and

l pumped six bullets into him!

l have paid a homage to my

daughter by killing Maganlal Gupta.

lf this amounts to terror...

l am definitely a terrorist.

Where are you going?

To my wife, Laxmi.

She's all alone. l must meet her

before the police catch up with me.

l beg of you...

please don't call the police.

No, we aren't calling the police.

We're television journalists.

We'll try and see that the

truth is conveyed to the public.

How will you do it?

- She's right.

We've played many gimmicks to

sell falsehood on television.

And we will do something now

to tell the truth.

You must stay here.

Don't go anywhere.

We'll return soon.

So stay here.

lt's so very wrong for a decent

man to go through all this.

We've promised to help him, Ajay.

But how will we do it?

Our bosses are friends of the

political leaders. They'll not agree.

Businessmen have no friends.

They befriend only money.

We will exploit

this very weakness.

How?

- As you say, ''just like that''.

My money, mister. Where're you going?

- One moment!

We have on tape the story of the man

everybody thinks is a terrorist!

Think it over!

- l'm doing my work-outs!

l can't do two things at a time.

- You can do anything, Kaka!

Once his interview is telecast,

it'll create a sensation!

Are you out of your mind?!

Ramakant Dua will have

our channel shut down!

He will be the chief minister

only when he wins the elections.

But think of our profits if we

telecast Mohan Joshi's interview.

Think of the sponsors

and the advertisements!

lt'll make you famous in the world!

- Really?

Of course. But there's a problem.

- What is it?

We'll have to share this exclusive

interview with Galaxy TV.

You mean you will sell the news

coverage to my enemy, Kaka?!

We'll have to, sir. Ajay Bakshi was

there, when l did the interview.

Forget your false pride, Kaka!

This episode involves millions!

Millions?! Really?

- Absolutely!

So l'll suppress my ego!

lt's okay on my part.

C'mon, sir...

Shake hands... Go on.

l said, shake hands.

Not merely touch!

Like this!

Not her... it's him!

lt involves millions!

Gotcha! Dump the international

terrorist in the boat!

Let's go...

appu! Where are you taking him?!

- Lay off!

What are you up to?!

l've been fishing!

Can't you see?

lease let him go...

he's not a terrorist!

We've seen it all on TV!

The cops are after him

and he's in our custody!

That was a lie!
