"Leave me, at the

next turn please."

My God. Where did

these come from?

"You had invited us, for

the wedding, haven't you?"

We've come.

"Oh, and where

are those bandsmen?"

They are not required.

"The two of us, are enough."

"Fill up the tank,

at the next petrol pump."

Yes sir. Fill up the tank.

"Ranga, I'll check whether

anybody is following us."

Ok.

"Mr. Rehman, you're a Muslim."

"The accused Chander,

is a Hindu."

What is your relation with him.

"Sir, my relation

is of humanity."

"Why did you, help

the accused to escape."

I prevented one of my

sons from killing the other.

"The law sees the incident,

not the emotions. "

Have you ever thought

of the consequences?

"Inspector, put Mr. Rehman

in the prison."

Come father.

Why am I brought here?

"I have to take,

a job from you."

I don't work for others.

Do you a reply to this?

"That's why, I want

to make you my companion."

And if I refuse?

"You are, a very

popular man."

Your photos have been

printed in the papers.

"And you know, as to

why they've been printed."

Tell me the job.

"You'll have to go,

to Lakhanpur jail."

Again.

"This is the job,

of the police."

"We want to send you

there, through us.. "

..not through the police.

But why?

"You'll have to free,

one of our men."

You've escaped

from that jail once.

"You know, those

conditions very well. "

"You'll be able to do,

this job easily."

"I'm sorry, once a lion

escapes from a cage.. "

..will never even come

near it again.

"Not even for

Rs.100, OOO?"

"Yes, and an

international passport."

"The asylum in other countries,

to escape from the police here."

"Hong Kong, Japan, Africa. Go

wherever you, want to go."

"And after that, I'll be

properly known as a criminal."

"The person, who gets caught

is called, a criminal"

"The person, who escapes

is called smart."

"I'm sure, that you'll escape."

"I want, Rs. 5000 now,

will I get it?"

"I want to repay, someone

for doing me a favor."

"You'll get an extra Rs. 10,000.

For your own personal expenses."

"Take as many weapons,

as you want."

"But you'll have to bring,

that man to us, within a week."

Agreed?

Agreed.

"Give him Rs.10, 000. Cash.

- Yes sir."

This is that man.

"Does a beautiful girl, by

the name of Seema, live here?"

"Come in, you don't

have to fool me."

I learned about the

commotion at the wedding.

"When you've recognized me then,

how will I fool the police?"

How do these film

heroes do the makeup?

"The public recognizes them, but

the heroine, doesn't recognize. "

"But here, the

tables have turned."

"What's the use,

of a disguise?"

I had told you first also that

it's not advisable to go out.

Where are you going?

"Lakhanpur, there is a great

festival fair, of the Goddess."

"I go there, every year."

"Oh, your destination

and mine, is the same."

"I'm going, to Lakhanpur too."

"Do you believe, in God?"

Till today I did not have

the need to tell God to do..

"..Something for me, so I can't

say if I have faith in Him."

"I'm going there,

for some work."

"if I succeed, I'll

earn Rs.100,000."

So much of moneyl?

Take this. Rs. 5000 that

you'd given me as debt.

Your money

was very lucky.

Where did you bring

so much money from?

"Actually, I agreed to do that

job tp repay your debt."

What's the job?

"A man has to be freed,

from difficulties."

This is a good job.

I'm very happy.

"Maybe you don't know, that

you have one good quality."

To be of

help to others.

What are you looking?

I'm not looking.

I'm searching.

What?

"The moment of happiness, for

which my soul is yearning."

"Seema, I'm too helpless."

"I too am yearning, for

a moment of happiness."

You too are helpless.

I too am helpless.

He is a convict

escaped from jail.

"The public is being informed,

that if they see a person with.."

"..this description, then

report to the police, fast."

"What happened? Why did

you, stop the car?"

"Is there a bus

depot here, nearby?"

"I don't know, why?"

"I think you make the rest

of the journey, by bus."

"it'll be dangerous for you,

if we travel together."

"And, it'll be dangerous

for you to travel alone."

Don't be stubborn. You've

just heard the news.

"The police is looking out for

me, everywhere. With me, you too. "

"I will not change my mind,

because you are shouting."

"Take, instead of gnashing

your teeth, eat an apple."

Lakhanpur is a

small hamlet.

Hmm.

"That jail is situated

about 5 miles, from there."

I know it.

"Then why are you, going

into the jaws of danger."

I want Rs. 1 lakh.

Who is that man?

"Police checking, what will

happen? I told you, first itself."

"Shut up, you don't say

anything. I'll see to it."

License.

"Hello, Miss Seema."

Salutationsl

Hello.

Salutations.

Where are you going?

"Lakhanpur. There is a festival

of the Goddess, there."

"Very good. I have

my duty there, today."

He's with you.

He's my husband. - Oh!

"By the way, I liked your

program, very much that day."

Thank you.

"My sister is also learning

dance. She wanted, to meet you."

"They are trying, to do a charity

function, for blind children."

"if you could give, a little

bit of your time. - Why not?"

"You, come to the

theatre sometime."

Thank you.

"I've, held you up

unnecessarily. - Yes."

"Actually, we're on the look

out for an escaped convict."

"That's why, this checking.

Don't disclose it, to anyone."

"But what's that,

got to do with you?"

"You people, can go.

Salutationsl"

Lift it up.

"Bye, bye."

Yes inspector.

"License, please."

"Yes, take this."

Name? - Gautam.

Where are you going?

- Lakhanpur.

"It's surprising; everybody's

going, to the same place."

Take your car forward.

Now tell me. Had you

come alone without me?

It would have been good. You

wouldn't have to tell one lie.

Which lie?

Am I your husband?

"What could I do? I couldn't

think of anything, in a hurry."

"Now, first only, think of an

excuse, for the road ahead.."

"..or else, you'll have

to tell another lie."

"Let him go. He's in a

greater hurry, than us."

"He's alone. And a lonely man's

speed is always, fast."

"Yes, he wants to get,

to his destination quickly."

"I too want to

go fast, you too. "

Sometimes peoples'

destination is the same.

Only the paths

are different.

"It's the same, inspector."

"Don't tell me,

he's following us."

Go on.

He's not going.

Following us.

"Maybe, he

suspects something."

"Whether or not,

we're husband and wife?"

What are you doing?

- Clearing his doubt.

"What suppose he wants,

some other proof?"

"You too, respond. "

We've been fooling

him up to this time.

"We'll keep him, guessing

for some more time."

"We haven't lost

our way, have we?"

"What can be said,

in this storm?"

"I'm sorry my car,

has broken down."

"Can you give me a lift up

to Lakhanpur, please?"

Come.

Are you going to Lakhanpur?

"Yes. it's good,

that I met you."

"Or else, I don't know where

I would go, in the darkness."

"it's raining, very heavily."
