One day,
if you're no longer mine
The moon will no longer shine
Each night will be
filled with our story
The youth of tomorrow
will sing our melody
Neither you nor I will remain
But the tokens
of our love will reign.
Constable! It's you.
Is your wife still angry?
Wife? The iron!
Oh Lord! Fire! Water!
Fetch some water!
Hurry up, bring the water!
What's going on?
What's the matter?
What's this nonsense?
Stop this nonsense!
Who did it?
Whose iron is this?
It was my mistake,
I left my iron here
Well done! You spoke the truth,
you will be fined
You'll work tomorrow as well.
- But tomorrow's Sunday!
I must see someone.
- Shut Up!
Three jacks
Three queens
What about you?
Three kings
Let me see
Three aces
Excellent!
Excuse me Madam,
here are the clothes
I'm only here
delivering clothes
Must be John's
That's right
I'm from Sunlight Laundry,
I mean the Bharat Laundry
Sit down
It was my mistake...
Please forgive me
Don't report it
or else I'll be fired
Sit down!
Madam, please,
I don't know anything
Don't misunderstand me,
I was only passing time
Deal now.
Look at your cards, 3 aces
It's the truth,
I'm not a crook, I'm not a 420
I'd better be off
I'm not a cardshark.
Don't report me to the police.
I can't afford to lose my job.
Here's the bill. Please sign it.
Sit down. I'll be back
Come here, Johnny
Meet a true magician
He deals and three aces appear
Always drinking!
I wish you were alert
We've to rush to the party
What party?
You mean for a game of cards?
I've specially set it up.
You lie here drunk
I've found a Master
at Cards. He'll teach you
So what! Why don't you take him
instead? I'm not going anywhere
I'll call it off!
Please don't tell the police.
I have done you no wrong.
Police?
away unless you obey me
What must I do?
I am a gentleman
Sign the receipts, Madam
and let me go
I'll do that
Change the clothes
People call me Maya.
- I'm Raj
I work at the Bharat Laundry.
I earn Rs.45 and get fined...
if I burn any clothes. If my boss
sees me in this suit, I'll be fired
Forget that you work
in a laundry
Forget that you earn 45 rupees
I'm giving you a new life,
do you understand?
You are no longer the same Raj
of the laundry
But a prince, a real Raj
A rich man
In these clothes...
...You will be respected
wherever you go.
Rich and important people will
be proud to have you as a friend
I shall take you to a dreamland;
the world of wealth.
Today, I shall open the gates
of a bright new world
What Sir? I am only the waiter
I am only a washerman
Why behave so idiotically?
Your face should have
the grace of the royalty.
You should act and be royal,
like a prince
I will remove one mask and
replace it with another
Maya, you are
a splendid sight
Hello, Philachand.
Meet Raj Kumar of...
...Piplinagar.
Very suddenly,
the game will be great
Meet my friends
Mr. Raj Kumar is indeed great
I hope you're fond
of playing cards. We play flush
I produce three aces!
Today the party
will be in great joy.
We've anxiously awaited you
Meet Raj Kumar of...
...Pipalinagar
Sonachand Dharamanand,
the King of Cotton
Glad to meet you
I think
I've met you somewhere before
On the road?
Possibly.
We're in the same business
Raj Kumar is indeed
a great fellow
Let's not waste time.
Let's start now.
Not a bad idea.
- Hurry up, let's make a move
Why worry, madam?
A spot of luck and
all this is yours
It reminds me of Monte Carlo
Deal Raj Kumar
I will see my hand first
I stake 200 rupees.
- The same for me
Why are you getting worked up?
Very suddenly, the game
has turned spectacular
400 for me
I wish only you both
were playing
Blind. 200 rupees
Why don't you see your cards?
Four hundred, this time
No one can compete
with Raj Kumar
What do you say?
400 or 500 is nothing.
A thousand
I hope it isn't a false move
Here. I stake a thousand
My play.
- Why waste your money?
I have no money left.
Let's see your hand.
I have three kings
You can't beat that
Why rush?
Three aces!
Have a look.
- Yes, I have
Three aces against three kings.
That's what you call a hand!
He's a prince, after all.
They say money begets money
No, it's pure luck
There's no such thing as luck.
Everything lies in your fingers.
Aren't you tired of winning?
It's late. Let's go
You have a plane
to catch to Piplinagar.
Cash it at the counter
I'll leave now.
- Play a round with me
Very suddenly, it's grand
Please sit down
Very interesting.
Just like Monte Carlo
Pay cash
Excellent. It's been
a good game
Good! My boss believes
in the cash principle
Just a moment, Sahib.
I'll shuffle the cards
Deal
No, I won't
You suspect me.
It's insulting
You deal. It's a
question of honour
100 rupees blind.
- 200 rupees blind
Same here.
- It will take far too long
Let's finish it in one go
Blind, 1000
Two thousand!
Had you played partly blind
it would have been interesting.
I stake 4000
I'll move
The game is serious. May I consult
my brother on the telephone?
Go ahead... but your cards?
You met your match.
- Raj Kumar is big-hearted
Where is Piplinagar?
Is it in Uttar Pradesh?
It is in Madhya Pradesh.
That's it, brother,
the very same hand
Fifty thousand! All right
I'll come home soon
My brother will back me up to
50,000 if the cards are good
My 10,000
What did you do?
Why not see the hand?
No, Sir... it looks like
you have three aces again.
Seth, I'll take your leave I'll...
Since you are leaving,
show me your cards.
Two, three and five. Total bluff!
Sorry that you lost so much
It's nothing. Meeting you means
profit, only profit.
19,800 rupees
Madam... here's the suit
Put it there
How much dirty money is there?
- About 20,000. And so?
Twenty thousand?
That much money?
My playing made so much
Let's see how quickly you
can leave the room
Understand?
Madam, I have earned this money.
We could divide it between us
Equal share?
You think you're my equal?
Who are you?
What is your status? A taste of
the good life has turned your head
You? My equal?
Don't forget you work
in a laundry
Look at your clothes, your face!
Return to the gutter you're from
Here's the bill for
the clothes you borrowed
Take this
10 rupees... your tip
Who are you?
And your status?
A taste of the good life has turned
your head. You? My equal?
Don't forget you work
in a laundry
Look at your clothes, your face!
Return to the gutter you're from
Well, Mr. Raj Kumar!
Piplinagar specialises
in washing lines, I see
Such a pity that a man of
your kind of talent...
...should be rotting in a laundry
What can I do?
Maya cheated you.
She was wrong
Honesty should be
a policy in business
20,000 is a mere trifle
for a man like you
The Creator has given
you a fine brain
It's within your reach
to earn thousands, millions
You mean it isn't difficult
to become a millionaire?
