What can l do for you?

l'd like to meet the owner.

- y es? What can l do for you?

l'd like to see Mr. Ajay Singh.

This way, please.

Anita, she want to meet

the boss. Mr. Ajay Singh.

So you want to meet the boss?

y es.

- Why?

Doesn't he see visitors?

Not all of them.

Now, do you know him?

All the way from Delhi.

We're good friends.

Here comes the boss.

Mr. Ajay Singh, sir, she

wants to see you.

The owner of this shop, that is.

- Don't pull my leg.

Seema, this is my sister-in-law.

Meet Seema. We were

in college together.

l know.

And this is the owner.

He's my uncle.

l came here to invite you...

l mean, everyone is invited.

We're throwing a small party.

l'd like it if you come.

See you.

- Have a cup of tea.

Excuse me. l'm in a hurry.

Don't mind. Next time?

Do come.

The ghazal comes home!

Politics is so ridiculous.

When we were born,

the whole country was ours.

And suddenly we see there's

a Pakistan and a Hindustan.

There's something

l don't understand.

A ghazal concert... Gulfam Hassan

... this party... and you...?

Let's start from

the very beginning.

y ou know how it was

with us in Delhi.

My brother Roshan was in the

audiocassettes business.

lt was a hit.

So we bought a recording studio

in Bombay, and we came over.

Gulfam sahib sings for us!

Roshan is busy doing business.

And l get bored.

Roshan...

Meet Mr. Ajay Singh.

We used to be in

college together.

Are you travelling?

- No. l'm settled here.

Great. y ou should call

him home sometime.

A call for you, sir.

Enjoy yourself.

Don't leave without eating.

The music companies want

ghazals that sound like pop.

l'm a Gulfam fan.

- l'll introduce you.

And where would you find

a good poet?

There is a dearth of

meaningful poetry.

lf good poetry isn't written,

how will we sing good ghazals?

Gulfam sahib, meet my guest.

Mr. Ajay Singh.

lf he is your guest,

then l am his fan!

y ou're always talking poetry.

- For the lovers of ghazal.

Any doubts, Mr. Ajay?

lf there were any,

let me put it at rest.

''Love can never be

at the first sight''

''The culmination cannot

precede the prelude''

That's a very old ghazal.

And you're quite young.

Where did you hear it?

- l didn't hear it.

My uncle heard it in the court

of the Maharaja of Chitpur.

Oh yes!

lt was your first concert.

My uncle recorded all the ghazals.

What a find! But where can

l find the recording?

lt's with me.

l keep listening to it.

Ustad lmtiyaz Ali Khan introduced

you. After his thumri, he said...

''Listen to this boy sing,

and you will forget me''

l still try to sing

with the same gusto.

But, l can't do it anymore.

l can't sing like now.

But if l could hear it,

l could relive my glory.

lf you can give me a copy,

l'll be obliged to you.

No obligations. y ou'll surely

have what is yours.

Really!

Let's celebrate!

How about a smile?

Drop it, Sultan.

l feel like crying!

That's a perfume for women.

Perfume for women.

- So what?

Who is that?

l'm coming.

Everything all right?

- l got screwed!

And you're living it up!

- What's up?

The cops came home.

They threatened me.

They told me to see Rathore.

Else they will kill me!

Who's this Rathore?

- He's with the Crime Branch!

And you don't even know!

Relax. Enjoy your stay.

l'll take care of it.

Take care of him.

Give him a drink.

Get it?

What would you like?

lt's impossible to find

an AK 47 in all of Mumbai.

l'm giving it to you

because l'm a friend.

lt's a great piece.

Hide it in a ditch

full of water.

And even after a year,

it'll shoot just as well.

No hassles with maintenance.

100,000 to a piece.

Did you get cash?

Any hurry?

- Not at all.

Don't touch the car.

- l'm cleaning it.

Won't cost you money.

- y ou aren't getting paid.

Who's looking for money?

l'll take it from Mr. Rajan.

y our boss knows me.

- l told you not to touch it.

y ou hit me! y ou're new!

y ou don't know me!

y our boss has known me

for years!

Salaam boss!

Boss, your man calls me a thief!

l'm Fatka! Remember me, boss?

He calls me a thief!

- Don't talk too much.

The chauffeur calls me a thief!

All he gets is a salary of 1000.

l spend 2000 a month on booze!

Why is Thakur here?

- A cop has threatened him.

Surrender, or get killed. lt's one

Rathore. Assistant Commissioner.

l asked Thakur to stay put

for a couple of days.

l asked Shiva to find out

who this Rathore is.

He's still at the report

about Chandrapur.

Skullduggery. l hate it.

lf l had a penchant for the r's

would l have joined the police?

Give it to me.

Mr. Rathore hates mistakes.

Just fill up the pages. He won't

be able to make head or tail of it.

He's just a kid.

- He's a big daddy!

Here comes your daddy.

The robbery case goes to court

the day after tomorrow.

l want to discuss the

sex scandal with you.

Later.

The municipal councilor who

was involved with drugs...

we found him.

- Where is he?

ln there.

Stop staring at me. Call up Rathore.

Find out when he's coming.

So this is the one?

When you came to me, l knew.

lt must be a new sahib.

l don't think they have

told you about me.

l'm Ganpatrao.

l'm the councilor.

The biggest of sahibs

come to my doorstep.

No one confronts me.

Remanded for three days.

Not arrested on the records.

The sahib

The report will be ready

in 5 minutes.

Drop it. Come inside.

Send lnspector Salim in.

The information was correct.

AK 47 s were used.

A leader instigated

the tribals.

The name is Biran.

And this is Bala Thakur.

He supplied the guns.

He had news about us.

He got away.

We have threatened

to kill him.

Did you investigate

the tribal areas?

We can't use service revolvers

against AK 47 s.

The tribals aren't a problem.

The problem is Thakur.

l told your boss not to send

you here. Why are you here?

l'm just doing what

the boss told me to.

Should l leave?

- Leave the cash.

ls it the full amount?

- y es.

Close the door behind you.

Put the money away.

Who are you?

- Crime Branch, Mumbai.

Go inside.

The packet please.

Check the serial numbers

on the currency.

The same.

Who is the deputy commissioner

you report to?

Why call him up?

Let's settle this mutually.

Where is Bala Thakur?

What Bala Thakur?

ln Mumbai.

Where in Mumbai?

One Sultan. A connection.

He's gone to Sultan.

But l don't know

anything about Sultan!

l'm telling the truth!

l've told you everything

l knew!

Please, sir!

Let's end the matter here!

File a report against him.

ln his police station.

Make sure his deputy

commissioner gets...

a copy of the report

tomorrow morning.

Fatka, pay me up.

- Sure. l'm in a good mood.

Poor girl.

lt was her first deal.

Go on, now.

Give me the shirt.

Hey, the money!

- Later.

Everyone is always asking

for money!

Bloody drifter!

lnspector Salim!

Salaam sahib!

Ruined my shirt.

these days, do l?

But l called you.

- What for?

That Rajan. y ou externed him.

He keeps doing the rounds here.
