The heart soars higher

and higher like a kite.

It's just a game, so to speak.

Yet, my heart takes flight like a kite,

whilst those eyes are as sharp as a string.

Tied to the kite is

a string's destiny.

It soars higher and higher.

The heart soars higher

and higher like a kite.

As the two hearts soar,

they unite high up in the skies.

I had no idea

that the melody of your love

would stir my heartstrings.

Neither did I know

that you would traipse into

my heart and stay for ever.

Come rain or shine,

not a moment shall we stay apart.

Tied to the kite is

a string's destiny.

It soars higher and higher.

The heart soars higher

and higher like a kite.

This kite shall for

ever be with you.

It'll always be drawn to you.

As the two hearts soar,

they unite high up in the skies.

As the two hearts soar,

they unite high up in the skies.

Higher and higher, they soar.

I do.

I do.

Hello? It's me, sir. The groom.

Remember me?

Yes. Tell me.

I have information about raees.

Go on.

A huge consignment of raees

is arriving tomorrow, sir.

If you bust it, he'll

be completely ruined.

Good.

All entry points to gujarat are secured.

He can't breach it this time.

No one leaves his post

until his truck is found.

The swine will have to

come out to do business.

This time he's a goner.

Check those trucks.

Sadiq bhai, majmudar has the whole

of gujarat under surveillance.

It's impossible to pass through.

Let alone a truck, not

even a bottle can enter!

Majmudar is not going

to relax security soon.

The swine's dead set against us.

- Indore highway?

- Blocked.

- Umbergaon?

- Closed.

- Udaipur?

- No chance at all.

We're in deep waters, raees.

- Hey, turn around.

- No, sadiq.

We won't drown.

We'll swim across.

As shrewd as a merchant,

as fearless as a warrior!

Get him out. Climb up and check.

Thanks for the help.

I had heard

that damla Seth rules the

seas, not the government.

I witnessed it today.

I've heard lots about you, too.

It'll be fun to work together.

God willing.

He shook hands with damla.

If you want to save your business,

do something about raees, Seth.

Tomorrow is muharram.

He'll surely go to mourn.

Majmudar is here! I

hope there's no trouble.

Raees will handle it.

Move.

Do you know one Salim shooter?

Well, he was murdered yesterday.

Did you notice? Or,

were you mourning?

Pass it on.

Kalupur goes.

That's taufiq talli.

Put some powder.

And there you go!

And there goes your cover...

Sadiq.

Your game's over.

You'll go in on

charges of murder.

Don't worry about evidence.

I'll dig it out anyway.

- Arrest them.

- Sir.

Bhai, the police picked up

four-eyes in a murder case.

Whose murder?

Some Salim shooter.

Is raja with you?

Yes, he is.

Sir.

You'll have to release raees.

Why?

He's confessing that he

killed Salim shooter.

So?

He's surrendering. Arrest him.

It's in writing, majmudar.

Arrest him.

Jai hind!

May I ask you something?

How did you address your father?

Aunt!

Father. What else?

Hey!

What are you droning about father?

What is it?

Fine.

Try this.

What if someone

calls you father?

Aasiya, who's going

to call me father?

Hey! What are you doing?

Raees, I'll fall!

No! Raees, I'll fall!

Things will fall, raees!

The phone's ringing!

Yes. Pick it up.

Here... pick it up.

- The phone!

- Yes, pick it up.

Here.

- Hello?

- Raees, musa here.

Yes?

Jairaj hired the

assassin to kill you.

I give you jairaj.

O laila.

They call me laila.

Laila! That's me.

I am

everyone's dream date.

They call me laila.

Laila! That's me.

I am

everyone's dream date.

If I clap my eyes upon someone,

he is sure to be bewitched.

He is completely floored.

That's me! Laila.

O laila.

These moments

are so enchanting.

My eyes

are playing games with me.

You are here.

I can't believe my eyes.

My heart

desires to feel you.

They call me laila.

Laila! That's me.

I am

everyone's dream date.

O laila.

Laila.

O laila.

O laila.

They call you laila.

That's you! Laila.

You are

everyone's dream date.

Sir, this is the beginning

of organised crime.

If raees isn't stopped now,

he'll burn the whole of gujarat.

After this terrible incident under your

jurisdiction, are you teaching me?

Now you give me in writing why i

shouldn't be transferring you!

You can transfer me anywhere

I won't spare raees.

You can take that in writing!

I've committed a crime, aasiya!

After I was transferred

out of fatehpura,

raees got an open field to play.

There was no stopping him.

Raids were out of question.

Because raees would gift the police

a truckload of liquor every month.

This month's stock.

Convey our regards to raees bhai.

Sure.

No more bulldozers.

Just cameras flashing.

Officers posed for the cameras

and made the front pages of

newspapers with 'seized' liquor.

The press, the police, the

government, all were a satisfied lot.

Raees has sent shirts for you.

See if the colour suits you.

It's perfect.

Bye.

There was one man who

could tilt the balance.

Salaam, pasha bhai.

The leader of the opposition.

Raees wants to lend

colour to your life.

He sends a colour TV for you.

Wow.

But crafty as he was, raees

won over everyone with cash

and consideration.

Raees, you know the

problem with the mill.

It can shut down anytime.

We women must work

to make ends meet.

Help us, raees.

We want to buy sewing machines

and fend for ourselves.

But the banks aren't

giving us loans.

Can you make bags?

Bags?

That's not a big deal.

All right then, I will

give you sewing machines.

Let me also place the order

for 10,000 bags right away.

What will you do

with so many bags?

Buy groceries for aasiya?

I'll do what postman hari does.

Home delivery.

God! So many phones!

Have you changed your business?

Are you selling phones now?

I'm not changing business.

These are for you.

Now don't you complain that

i keep the phone busy!

Liar!

The day you do this for

me, pigs will fly!

No, I'm serious, missus.

From now on, raees will be at

your service, round the clock.

All you have to do

is call and order.

Sadiq...?

He is flattering you.

He's come up with a novel idea.

Home delivery of liquor.

Hey, sadiq! Why are

you lying to her?

It's the truth. Truth, my foot!

Wait till you get married!

You'll know, wives are a terror.

No, thanks. It's your problem.

Don't yell at him!

Talk to me.

He's fooling around. I was talking to you.

Why did he have to butt in?

Trying to flatter me, eh?

You think you are a charmer?

No. Sadiq...

To heck with sadiq!

Sadiq, did you hear...?

Look at me.

What did you say? 'I did this

for you, I did that for you'

you did nothing for me. Ass!

Freaking four-eyes!

Scared you, didn't I?

A bit.

I pine for you.

Don't torment me

more, o cruel one.

O cruel one

I'm drunk in your love.

Don't intoxicate me

more, o cruel one.

O cruel one.

Those eyes, mesmerising.

Your words, alluring

I fall head over heels for you
