Hello.

He is so strong

he can crush anyone.

The inmates fear Potya...

but they not only fear Veera,

they also respect him.

If anyone can help you...

it is Veera.

What do you want?

I want to learn from you.

Everybody wants to learn...

but fighting isn't for kids.

And I'm not a kid.

I'll do everything you say.

It's the student that

makes his master great.

If Eklavya hadn't

cut off his thumb...

no one would remember Drona today.

I'm ready to become Eklavya.

He cut off his own thumb...

I'll cut off my own hand.

What do you say?

In that case, you found Drona!

The Olympic games state...

victory and defeat don't matter...

you have to play with pride.

I say to hell with pride,

'cause here your life is at stake!

Kill or be killed!

Manya...

Manya, use the knife!

The new don of Yerwada prison...

Manya Surve.

A man has to become an animal

before he can become a human being.

I chose the opposite route.

You will always be an animal..

And that's why you

will die a dog's death!

All thanks to the police.

Mothers don't give

birth to criminals...

it's the police that

makes criminals out of men!

It I hadn't killed Potya,

he would've killed me.

Death was always eager

to close in on you.

But you are fortunate that..

...life surrendered

to your charm once again.

I am shocked, officer.

I thought you are a coward

who shoots fake bullets...

but you are also a philosopher.

When I was in prison using

my charm to seduce life...

what were you up to?

Back in those days the Mastan

gang was terrorizing Bombay.

And the cops were

helpless because"

...the laws and official

diktats gave no recourse.

Move back.

Sir!

Did you take the

victim's statement?

She is in no state to talk...

and I'm in no state to face her.

Careful.

Help her to sit.

Cover him.

Step out.

I can't change what has happened...

but I promise that no one else

will go through this pain again.

And for that I need you to help me.

Don't be afraid...

tell me what happened.

My husband and I came from

Lucknow to celebrate our honeymoon.

We had returned from

watching a movie...

and my husband was

taking the key to our room.

That's when those goons

came down and kept staring at me.

My husband and I

came up to our room.

I was in the bathroom when...

Where's she?

Where's she? - What happened?

Move!

There were two jerks.

Only the Mastan gang is

capable of such atrocious acts.

Question the hotel

staff and watchman.

No one will testify.

Why not?

If they don't talk,

torture them until they do.

We will torture them,

but they will kill them.

Who will testify against

the Mastan gang"

and see their

kids become orphans?

I have promised the girl that...

I won't let anyone else

suffer what she went through.

Is that promise worthless?

At a time when even

the cops are worthless"

...you are holding on to a promise?

Stop talking like a coward!

We are responsible

for what happened to her.

I agree someone

else stripped her...

but it's our apathy that

ripped away her dignity.

And to make things worse...

you talk to him.

Salaam-walekum.

Waleku m-a-salaam.

Bhende...

his polite mannerisms

are very potent.

Congratulations.

I mean,

you solved another big case.

So, what do you think?

I don't think it was difficult.

The crime took place

in a crowded area...

so you have plenty

of eye-witnesses.

And our cops are renowned

for their competence.

When a lion grows old,

even dogs bark at him.

You too can say what you want.

Tomorrow when you print

this report in your newspaper...

the morale of the

cops will go for a toss!

What morale are you talking about?

The eunuchs have better

morale than the cops.

I mean, you can blame

nature for their plight...

but what's your excuse?

Giving advice is easy, Sadik.

Do you have a solution?

Of course, I do.

Come.

Have you seen the film, 'Sholay'?

Not another story!

There was a dialogue

in that film...

'Only iron can cut iron.'

What are you getting at?

Zubair and Dilawar Haksar.

Constable llmtiaz's sons?

Yes .

Since you can't get Dharmendra

and Amitabh from Sholay...

you'll have to make do with them.

Where can I find them?

Salaam-walekum.

Salaam-walekum. - Salam!

Salaam-walekum.

Salaam-walekum.

Salaam-walekum.

Hey!

Dilawar...

Name?

Zubair lmtiaz Haksar.

Dilawar lmtiaz Haksar.

Get inside.

I want you to work for me.

Doing what?

The same thing you

were doing back there.

You mean what the cops

don't have the guts to do.

No, I mean, what the

cops aren't permitted to do.

I want this city clean...

and for that it's important

to wipe out the Mastan gang.

With that sort of cleaning...

the streets of Bombay will be

drenched in blood, not soap water.

Will do.

The cops won't trouble you,

I can guarantee you that.

I'm impressed.

That sounds like Subhash Chandra

Bose's independence slogan...

'Give me your blood and

I'll give you your freedom.'

Do you accept?

We'll think about it.

Dilawar said, we'll think about it.

You're saying 'Sholay'..

...transformed Dilawar and

Zubair from a spark to a flame?

'Sholay' did a lot more.

Sadik believed himself to be...

'Thakur' and Dilawar and

Zubair as his 'Jai and Veeru'.

Under that presumption...

he published the pictures of

Yakub and Batla in his newspaper.

Walekum, Sadik.

Waleku m-a-salaam...

Check out the first page.

I can't believe you

published their pictures.

Is that a wise move?

It's the truth.

It may not be wise

to speak the truth...

but it's better than

to lie like a coward.

Sometimes cowardice

helps people stay alive.

It's heartening to see

the concern in your advice.

Here.

Well, it's our duty to warn you.

And it's my duty

to publish the facts.

As long as you are around,

I have nothing to worry.

Did you meet Bhende?

You recommended us to him?

You want us to work for the cops?

Not at all.

In fact,

the cops will work for you.

Is that so?

- Shinde...

- Yes sir.

Get the Head Office to send an

arrest warrant for Batla and Yakub.

Bhende, request for

ammunition from the armory.

Keep the force on standby.

We have to move fast.

Their pictures and address

are out in the newspaper.

We have all the information

except their blood group.

The newspaper has

made our task easy.

The least we can do is arrest them.

No cops have ever

entered that area.

I know.

That's why those scoundrels do what

they want, wherever they want to.

I am going there to arrest them.

You are welcome to come along.

We will go in wearing uniforms

and come out in a shroud.

Let's tie the shroud on our head.

Once we arrest Yakub and Batla, we

can pin the medals on our uniform.

What do you say?

Let's go!

Everybody wants to be a hero.

Amitabh Bachchan has

brainwashed everybody!

How much? - .50 paise.

It can't get easier than this.

He is alone.

A bull may stand alone but...

his flock is sure to be around.

What?

11 o'clock.

2 o'clock.

What's our move?

12 to 3 is yours.

Bhende, you take on 3 to 6.
