Shree 420 Page #5

Take this and keep it.

- What is it?

Advance for a partnership

Didn't I tell you when

we met that meeting you...

...means profit, only profit?

See you

Father, change your clothes

- Crazy girl!

Not a word. It's the Festival

of Lights

And you must be properly dressed

It's you.

I thought...

- Some gentleman, right?

My appearance

has fooled you once again

Don't take it seriously,

they're hired

They're hired?

In this world clothes, honour,

everything's for hire

I wasn't sure you'd...

...have the time

to visit the goddess

Why did I come, then?

Take this.

- What is it?- Open it

Accept my Diwali greetings, too

Where's father?

- He's in

Such an expensive sari.

That's if I'm not mistaken...

It isn't hired. It's the first

gift I've bought

Get ready soon.

- Where to?

The temple.

- In such an expensive sari?

Hurry up!

- Father

Don't refuse his gift,

it is an offering of love

Try it on

Sit down, son

Which temple are you going to?

The temple of the Goddess of Wealth

It's Diwali today. I thought

I'd take Vidya to enjoy it all

Of course, my son.

You're looking smart today

You look as though

you've found a treasure

Found a treasure?

No, not exactly

I have only the key. Very shortly,

Panditji, Bombay will be all mine

Stay happy, my child.

God bless you both

Won't you come

to see the festival?

You both go and have a good time

Where are we? We were to go to

the temple of Goddess Laxmi.

This is the temple

and these are her devotees

You cleaned me out the other

day and you're back

From Pilpilinagar?

- No, Piplinagar

Very suddenly,

Where did you find this moon?

Introduce her to me.

A Princess of...?

She is the Princess

of Vidya Nagar

Vidya Devi does not like

being called a princess

I get it! A democratic princess.

How do you do?

Please join us

Raj, why do you avoid me?

Been to the races?

Have a cigarette.

- Isn't she beautiful?

Some soda?

- Tell us how old are you?

How charming you look.

Won't you play a round with us?

For a ten rupee tip?

Excuse me, I am busy

It feels like we're in Monte Carlo.

Look at her hand

Very suddenly,

everyone will be rich

Meet the Princess

of Vidya Nagar

The Prince and the Princess

are on the same level

You're wearing a lovely sari!

Where is it from?

From Leelaram's?

I've an identical sari,

I wanted to wear it

But it's at the cleaners

It didn't return

from the dry cleaners

Don't pay attention

to what Maya says

She is a wicked person

Wait, Vidya!

I will explain, later.

Let's go elsewhere.

Thanks a lot.

I know the way out

Vidya!

Wait, Vidya!

- Who is she?

Where are you going?

- Vidya's gone

If one goes, you'll find others

Now you'll enter your new world

It is the Festival of Lights.

We have planned a big game

You've had an advance

for the new trade

But... Vidya

You don't need

the wisdom of Vidya

Today, you need

the wealth of Maya

Don't look back,

don't think of the past

As you journey through life,

you are not alone

I stand right beside you

Our destination

is clearly before us

The clouds are like waves,

rolling past us

The caravan

of life never stops

Don't look back,

don't think of the past

As you journey through life,

you are not alone

I stand right beside you

Look everyone

straight in the eye

Smile with each passing season

The world is his

who looks ahead

The world is his

who adapts to the times

The world is his

who fits the mould

The world is his

who forges on

Come outside!

Stop being a child

Leave this world of morality

and piety

See the world as it really is

Do you know who I am?

I'm but a slave

You're drunk

The world thinks that

I am drunk

Laugh! It's such

a happy occasion

Laugh at the humiliation

I suffered

I have never been humiliated before.

What'll they think?

Whatever they want to

What good has the world

done for me? Why care?

This world did not care

when I was starving

This world did not provide

work when I was jobless

When I was homeless

it gave me no shelter.

Vidya, you'll see.

They will respect me

They will respect me well

All because of this...

Money! Respect!

Fame! Luxury!

A life of luxury.

A new life for you and for me

For both of us

You have stolen,

you have robbed

A sleight of hand.

One card moves from here to there

You cheated at cards.

Cheated!

Its fruit is bad.

- See the bad fruits, then

You are chasing paper

One day, a storm of fate

will blow it all away

You'll grovel

in a pool of corruption

Raj, don't fall into this

trap. Don't be corrupted

Tell the others who build

empires on fraud

Through fraud they

make millions

They rule the world

Sermons and advice about

honesty are given to the poor

Keep working hard,

slog away

Eat the dry bread of honesty

and thank God for your lot

How you have changed!

You came in ragged clothes and

I took you for a prince

Forget that old Raj.

Forget him

What's past is past.

Don't look back

We're entering a new world.

Will you stand by me?

You live in a new world now

where everyone is for sale.

But I'm not for sale,

do you understand?

Very well, then I'll leave

Remember, you and others like

you who laud honesty...

...will perish with hunger

I won't starve.

I have money, I have wealth

O beloved

for my sake

Don't break my heart this way

I implore you

Look back once before you leave

If you must leave,

look back once before you go

You've left me with

a broken heart. Don't forget me

Although I remain silent,

my eyes implore you

Don't let me fall away

let a tear from your eye

Welcome, Raj Kumar Sahib

of Piplinagar

Why do you hesitate?

Come inside

Are you ready to start work?

Thank you.

What do I have to do?

Work?

If you had to deliver

a thousand tons of rice?

Only 800 tons?

There's no need to panic.

If you can't find rice...

...then you can find

200 tons of bricks

Get it?

I'm starting to understand

I shall have

to find work for you

Absolutely!

It must be something that

is of interest to people

What do people

want most in life?

People want to get rich overnight

Win at the races or at

cards or in gold mining

Can you turn dirt into money?

I told you when we first met.

It meant profit, only profit

Is this the Tibet Gold Company?

Whom do you want?

- This is Raj, Raj, Raj and Co

All three Rajs are inside?

- Yes

Hello, a long distance call?

Yes, this is Raj, Raj, Raj, Ltd.

Managing agents for Tibet Gold

Twenty thousand? No, I can sell

you 10,000 shares only.

Welcome Seth.

- Mr. Raj?

The other Mr. Raj?

- That's me, too

I'm three Rajs rolled in one

What can I do for you?

- It's about the Tibet Gold

Gold in Tibet. Everyone

talks of gold in Tibet

This gold business

is a real headache.

From each and every

corner of the world

I keep getting phone calls

He must be a big shot

Shall I book a call

to Japan?

Oh no! A call from Japan

200 shares?

Where do I get them from?

We mustn't lose him

I'm trying to beat him down

to a 100

I finally persuaded him
