Hit me as much a you like
Remember, you will never
have the ideal wife
Such women are not for you
I'm the only one who will
accept you. Why are you sad?
You once worked in a laundry,
now you have everything
Money, fine clothes, a car,
a house to live in
Wealth? Home? Name? Luxury?
Everywhere I go,
I'm called 420
Remember something Raj,
those who remain petty thieves...
...are called crooks.
They are treated with disdain
To be a crook,
join the big time
Be like Sonachand,
play with millions
No one will dare to call you 420
You will be called a
philanthropist, a pious man
A big shot
A young man like you
can do many things
Today, Sonachand exploits
you for his ends
If you want, you can
double-cross him
You're right, that's exactly
how it's going to be
HOMES FOR PEOPLE!
How many houses?
Around 114,557 people
have been registered
Over twenty million
Bravo, Raj! You are a genius
I am nothing before you.
What's this racket?
Who are they?
They are all partners who have
contributed to the construction
They are anxious
that we start work
We shall make
an announcement today
To see people so enthusiastic
frightens me
Frightened? Shall I return
their money?
Some men are here
Tell them to return tomorrow
Have they cash? Let them in
I do not know how to refuse money
Go to your room. See you later
Come back soon.
We have to distribute the loot
Yes, Sir!
Come in. Sit down
Remember friends, this is
Bombay... Bombay
Not the same Bombay
I've heard you're building
homes for the poor
Here's a beggar's treasure
I have 97 rupees, 6 annas
and two counterfeit coins
I am short of 2 annas
don't add a bolt
I want a house
Don't worry, brother,
I'll pay the difference
We're here to bless you
In jest, you called me a goddess.
You turned out to be a saint.
Take this
Here's 225 rupees
It's their savings,
make them a home
Make up the difference
with her wedding ornaments
Add all this up and
make them a home
Don't you want a house
for yourself?
Why bother about myself?
I'll stay with one of them
Are the homes
relly being built?
Whatever you want
will really happen
You must be busy, we'll go
Give us a house!
- God bless you!
Be ready Raj, I have made
all the arrangements
I am going away, far away
Take out the money from
the safe, here is the bag
They must be anxious
Seth Dharamanand and his friends
have everything set for you
You will get only 20,000
and the air-ticket
He'll announce
that Raj has run with the money
I have arranged everything
Give me the bag
- Can I come in?
I came here...
Vidya, you?
I hear you are building homes
Do you want one?
What use is it to me?
It's up to a man to make
a house into a home
Why are you here?
Can't you see we are busy?
I have a present for you
Here...
The medal for honesty you pawned
It may come in use
Honesty!
A gold medal? Honesty?
It is sold at Rs. 80 a gram
What you get is not honesty
What are you looking at?
Give me the bag, hurry
This money is not yours.
- It is yours
It's not mine, either.
- Then whose it is? Nonsense!
Here's the passport, the
air-tickets, a taxi's waiting
We'll soon be far away from India
Far from the police and Sonachand
I can escape from the police
and Sonachand...
...but I cannot
escape from myself
So you plan to run away
with the money
All the doors are closed
You want this money?
We must distribute it
All this money, every cent,
including a counterfeit coin
And the jewels of a lady
who dreamt of marrying
How will you distribute it?
If you can, then here it is
Is this place a maze?
Where are you taking it to?
It is my money
Traitors! I raised you from
the gutter and made you rich
And you defy me?
My money!
The bag!
- Let go!
You are a cheap dancer
I am Sonachand speaking.
There are thieves in my house
Wait!
You can't escape Raj,
we have got you
You have had it.
- Stop talking rubbish!
Hand me the money.
- Give it to me
You bicker for a mere trifle
You want it?
Take it!
Men descended from the apes but
money has turned them into dogs
These are only papers.
The money?
Traitor!
- Treachery!
Only waste paper
The notes you were fighting
for are only made of paper, too
For this paper you are capable
of nothing.
To get it, you cheat people.
Collect bogus insurance claims
crimes. It's the end for 420s
Today, I will expose you all
The world will...
...know your benevolence
and Seth's true colours
Someone's shot Raju
They have shot him!
Who shot my son?
Who fired? What happened?
I shot him for the sake of
each and every one of you
He was running away
with your money
You don't know Raj,
he was a real 420
All lies! You are lying
Raj was not a crook,
you made him into one
When he first came to Bombay
he was so good, so cheerful
He wanted to work and
you didn't give him work
He had to live on the footpath
and sell his honesty
You taught him your evil ways
If you want wealth,
name and honour...
...then lie, play cards, dupe
others and be a 420
You are the real criminals
Nonsense!
- Do you know who I am?
Yes, she is absolutely right
Raj was not a crook.
You made him into one
You old hag, if only you knew
what kind of person Raj was
Let the police get here
Who fired?
- I did
Do you know who I am?
- Yes, Seth Sonachand
You all know that my
first duty is to serve humanity
He was absconding
with the money of the poor
For their sake, I shot him
If that makes me a criminal,
they hang me
For the sake of the people
I'll give my life
Don't tell such a lie!
I am still alive
You did not die?
No, Seth Sahib.
Life itself is a 420
I put the pistol in the bag
And I loaded it
What is this?
Why this masquerade?
In this nonsensical world one
has to live by faking death
Everything is ready
To stop me, he fired 6 bullets.
To stop a thief, one suffices
Why six bullets?
For the sake of the people?
Or for the million?
- What is this talk of money?
That is exactly what I want to know.
- Where is the money?
Their money is where they put it
Inspector, take this key.
The money is upstairs in the safe
Ask them why the people's
money interests them?
Fetch the money from upstairs
and take Raj
Sethji, all of you had better
follow me
Take a close look at these
people. They are respectable
They are rich
hand, they are 420s
Not just a simple 420,
but Mister 420
Look at yourselves
Who will say you are poor,
unemployed and homeless?
Each of you has over
a million rupees
I have kept all your money safely
I did not intend to cheat you.
I wanted all of you to unite
If you want,
take back your money
Don't waste such a vast fortune,
don't disperse your strength
How can you build a home with
a 100? But with a million, yes
