- When did you see him?

Even today.

- Where?

ln the Sangam Bar. Go on.

y ou'll find him there.

No, thanks. Keep it.

lt's for you. From me.

y ou give Rajan's chauffeur

a good knocking.

He insulted me.

ls all this the truth?

y ou saw Rajan?

l swear it.

Had you come on time, we could've

picked him up from the bar.

Overtake that car.

The police are behind us.

Take the first left.

l don't want hassles.

They're turning left.

- Head straight on.

Good. They went past us.

Take left.

Left from here.

Move aside.

Easy now.

Get them.

Sultan! Stop!

Or l'm going to shoot!

How far will you go

for a medal?

l had the information.

What could l have done?

y ou should have handled

it properly.

ln full force.

- l hadn't the time.

So you take three constables

and a service revolver...

and you chase Rajan and Sultan?

- l had news only of Rajan.

l didn't know Sultan

would be there.

Besides l had arrested

Rajan earlier.

He used to carry a revolver.

Country make.

l had no idea he would

have an AK 47.

lf you have a death wish,

go and kill yourself!

y ou've got 3 constables killed!

Who's responsible?

Stay outside.

l'll call you in later.

Salim doesn't work on

this case anymore.

l'll explain it to him.

The whole department is saying

that he let Sultan off...

because he is a Mussalman.

Salim isn't like that.

l have enough pressures

as it is.

The tribals are armed.

And there's no news of Thakur.

And now Sultan has AK 47 s.

This is just what l feared!

How many more Sultans are going

around this city toting AK 47 s?

How about finding out?

Call Salim.

Sorry, Salim.

l guess l was excited.

Please let Mr. Rathore

have the case papers.

From tomorrow, you can take

care of the godowns.

l know why you are taking me

off this case, sir.

Salim was my training officer.

l know him. He's a good officer.

He runs an extensive network

of informers.

l need Salim on this case.

Officially, Salim is

off this case.

l understand, sir.

The papers aren't all ready.

y ou'll get the file next week.

l don't want it. l want you

to work with me on this case.

l know who wants what.

Salim, l trained under you.

l learnt so much from you.

Don't ever say you

trained under me, sir!

l never trained anyone

to suspect someone...

just because he doesn't

subscribe to your religion.

y ou must have learnt

that somewhere else.

y ou write some exams,

you become an officer...

and you sit right

on top of my head!

And you'll do what

you want with me!

Because l am a Mussalman!

Now l know! ln this country

it's a crime to be a poor man!

And it's a worse crime

for those like me!

Go away, sir.

l don't want to

work with you.

Sultan's mother?

Are you sure?

How old is she?

- 60 or 65.

She lives alone.

She's a widow.

Sultan is her only son.

Are you Sultan's mother?

Who are you?

- Police.

ls Sultan your son?

Speak up.

y es.

- Where is he?

He doesn't live here.

- Where does he live?

l don't know.

y ou better say it.

We have our ways.

Sultan was 21 .

He killed his first man.

l threw him out of the house.

lt's been years...

l haven't seen him.

l didn't look for him.

And he hasn't come to see me.

Forgive me. Sometimes,

one has to be harsh.

One minute...

Please let me have your name

and your telephone number.

lf l get any news of Sultan,

l'll let you know immediately.

My card.

Thank you.

lt's here.

What is it?

Biran is here.

Why did you bring him here?

- They held a gun at my head.

They wanted to see you

right away.

Sultanbhai, Biran is here.

Welcome, Brother.

y ou vanished after

the first delivery.

l told you we need more.

- The cops came home.

So l came here.

This is Sultanbhai.

- Welcome Biranbhai.

What does it cost? How much?

70,000.

Without the bullets,

what's it worth?

Nothing! lt's useless.

The stuff is worth 12,000,000.

Check it out.

My list. l want 20 AK 47 s.

The rest in ammunition.

l'll get it, won't l?

- Sure.

When?

- Two weeks at least.

Not earlier?

Sultan will try his best.

ls my work done?

- l've drawn up your horoscope.

So Biran sends cash?

- y es. And a new list.

But he wants less guns.

And more ammunition.

Anyone who gets a gun will

want bullets. At any cost.

But Biran is a dangerous man.

And he wants it fast.

- He will have it.

Pay the priest, and

you will be blessed.

Here, eat some offerings.

Thakur, here's your horoscope.

Keep it at the feet of

the deity you worship.

l'm not too much

of an astrologer.

But your Saturn is malefic.

- That l know.

But there must be a remedy.

- Stay clear of metals.

Saturn must be appeased.

Chant the mantra for a fortnight.

lf you survive this one,

you'll live to be a hundred.

l thought you had forgotten me!

- How could l?

Here you are.

y our first concert.

May l keep it?

y ou have done me

a great favor.

This ghazal is from the time

when l used to sing for myself.

Nowadays, l sing for others.

This is a priceless gift.

y ou can name your price.

A price for something priceless?

l'd rather you remember me

some times for it.

How can l ever forget you?

But you must accept

a gift from me.

Gift...?

Gulfam's friendship.

l was here to see Gulfam sahib.

l had to give him the cassette.

lt was l who introduced you

to Gulfam sahib.

Where are you going?

- Nowhere. Why?

l have to discuss this thing

with you. lt's important.

y es?

Here? Let's go elsewhere.

Sit in.

So what's so important?

What l wanted to say...

l mean... you know l don't

get sleep nowadays.

Must be the mosquitoes.

y ou could get malaria.

Use a repellent.

l didn't meant that.

What l wanted to say...

Do you know what it means

when l say my heart is racing?

High BP. A heart ailment.

Could lead to heart failure.

Avoid fats. Jog every

morning and every night.

l didn't meant that.

What l wanted to say...

y ou know, this strange churning

in the stomach?

An upset stomach. Eat a

ripe banana with yogurt.

That'll fix it.

- Such fine weather!

And all you think of

is disease!

y ou're a Gulfam-fan.

Don't you recite poetry?

Sure. Want to hear?

- Go on.

''No medicine can cure it;

no prayers can heal''

''Lord, let no one suffer

the pangs of love''

''The Majnus and Ranjhas,

and Romeos and Farhads''

''Love destroyed all of them''

See... over there.

''Everyone seems to be

in love with love''

''This is no temple of love''

''Go away, pretty women''

''l run a heart.

Not a hotel''

''Like flowers in spring''

''Love blossoms''

''Speak not what lies

in your heart''

''Let your eyes speak''

Get out.

y ou know Rathore?

- No.

ls he new here?

- y es. Crime Branch.

l want a full report on him.

Goodness!

- Looks fine.

No. lt isn't right.

- y ou look like a hero.

How about this one?

- Rubbish.

The other one was better.

y ou haven't a sense of style.

These boring clothes you wear...

Ajay, where are we going?

l don't get this...

Give me your phone.

ACP Rathore. Pick up a few men
