Seth, who started this
gold mining business in India?
You did.
- No, we Indians did.
Everyone wants shares.
Tell me what can I do?
Let's start business,
I'm in the same trade
Give me 50 shares
50 shares...?
- I'll buy more later
The demand for shares is rising.
You can have 20
How can you do this?
As this company is Indian,
you should give us priority
Who am I doing this for, anyway?
Not more than 20 shares
Have 5000 and give me
the fifty shares
It feels like we've known
each other for years
You're forcing me into this
Get the certificates from Cashier
May I give you some advice?
Start mining in Tibet
With your blessings, I already have
No, learning and knowledge
cannot be sold
Uncle, you can't keep helping us.
- Why do you say that?
I heard you're getting married soon.
Then your luck will turn
Uncle, that isn't it
- What is it, then?
Panditji told me you liked
a young man, what happended?
Did he turn out to be bad?
- No, it's my luck that's bad.
You're lucky. Remember
what I've always said:
One day, a prince will come
into your life...
Come in, it's been ages
since you last visited
Only goddesses are visited
What brings you here?
- To sell knowledge
You're here to sell knowledge
I'm here to buy honesty
Here's 50 rupees, please
can I have my medal back?
I'll fetch it, please wait
How is the school where you
raise little saints?
The school is closed. My little
saints have turned to crime
They're preparing to be 420s
The school's closed.
It's terrible. Can I help?
Thank you. Open a school
with your own money
And teach them how to buy honesty
Mister, your honesty!
Take your honesty with you
It's you?
- Me?
What is it?
- You! You look splendid!
Your white collar, your bow-tie,
your suit, very handsome
You've found the way to become
a big man. Now, you're happy
What is the matter?
Aren't you happy?
No. Raj, I'm very sad
What's happened?
You know I'm not a big man
Raj, where have you
disappeared to?
Raj! Raju!
Vidya, you're very late today
Take this
No uncle, I don't want any tea
Why not?
You're my regular customer
I don't even have two annas.
- So what?
Many 420s drink their tea
here and never show up again
You haven't been here for ages
Don't you look grand?
Sit down, I'll bring tea
Wait, Vidya.
I want to tell you something
But I don't want to listen
- You have to listen. Sit down
Special tea for you
Do you remember...
...the day we had tea together?
We made promises to each other.
We dreamt a dream
I told you we'd have a home
We would send our children to school.
I'm trying to make it come true
Do you have to do it dishonestly,
through fraud?
Try and understand.
I'm not as bad as you think.
I cheat those who cheat others
Don't pity them
If I pity anyone, it's you
Do you know where this
path will lead you to?
You wanted me as your wife
You'll end up in jail,
whose wife will I be then?
You wanted your children
to go to school
You know what they'll say?
Their father is a crook
Think about it. How can people
like us manage without money?
One can't breathe without it
Money! Money! Money!
Raj, what have you done?
Why did you do it? You have
shattered our dreams of a home
Tell me if I have harmed you.
Why did you do it?
You've been tempted by all false
world, by clothes, by cars
Tell me, Raj
You've lost everything
for a sham world
You've sold yourself
to a tinsel world. Go back
And buy the love you need.
I've given my heart to you.
Only to you
Your eyes sparkled
with the light of passion
Your eyes never glinted
with greed nor treason
You were another,
you were not the same
Your spirit was pure
your heart inflicted no pain
Little does it matter
if I regret or suffer in vain
In your new world, in
your universe...
in exchange of gold
hearts are bought, hearts are sold
In our world,
under the tree of sorrow
Hearts skip a beat
at the mention of love
Under the moon and starts
the night in song flows
I've given my heart to you,
only to you.
only to you.
Memories haunt me,
with a sweet pain
I never learnt how to console
my grieving heart
Little does it matter,
if you don't return, if you forget
I have not learnt how to love
and then to forget
Even from that faraway place,
just tell me once:
I've given my heart to you,
only to you.
I've given my heart to you,
only to you
The path is the same,
the traveller is the same
But I wonder where a shining
star has disappeared to?
The world is the same,
people are the same
Little do they know
a life has been plundered
Who will stay in my heart?
Who will say to me:
I've given my heart to you,
only you
Long live Raj!
Didn't I tell you,
one day Raj will be back?
Then we'll have our own homes.
- My son is back
One who lived on the footpath,
won't forget friends made there
Tell us when our homes
will be ready
Homes?
- Your advertisement created a stir
Advertisement?
Yes brother, look here
A home for a hundred rupees
NO MORE PAVEMENT DWELLERS.
NEWS FOR THE HOMELESS
PEOPLE'S COLONY
FOR ONLY 100 RUPEES
SIGNED RAJ KUMAR.
C/O SETH SONACHAND
Long live Raj!
Seth Sonachand, who placed
this advertisement?
Why did you leave the hotel?
Maya was most upset
You shouldn't have
let Maya down
A home for 100 rupees?
You did this. Who'll believe it?
How can you build one?
Which idiot told you
I am not selling houses.
I am auctioning a dream
You know how many people sleep
on the footpath in this city?
All of them hope for one thing:
A home of their own
Understand?
So even the poorest...
...among them will manage
to collect 100 rupees
So that we can build them a home
Seth Sonachand, I did everything
under the sun to help you
I cheated at the futures market,
sold bogus shares
You want me to cheat the poor
to make you rich
In this world we should not
make any distinction...
...between the poor and
the rich. No preferences
Do you think I'll do this?
What choice do you have?
Who was the one who agreed
to cheat in the first place?
You did
Who floated the Raj, Raj, Raj,
Company? You did
Take back your money.
Take everything
I want peace of mind
I don't want to work with you,
do you hear?
Do I build castles
in the air?
I can do away with you,
like that
Do you realise that each share
has been signed by you?
Do you remember I was
the first man to buy 50 shares?
I'll be the first to sue you.
Under Section 420
No Raj, you cannot get out easily
Whatever Vidya said was right
On that path you don't
need Vidya, but Maya
Why?
Have you become scared?
You're running away now
Running where?
To that worthless school teacher
Nonsense!
I don't understand
what you see in that girl
I've seen dozens like her
A dime a dozen
What rubbish you talk!
- Don't get angry
Witch! Aren't you ashamed to speak
of her like that? I'll kill you
