Tahkhana

THE DUNGEON:

Dear Raghuveer Singh,

I am now very close to death

- Don't say that, father

- Yes, my son

After my death, I beg you...

Please care for my two daughters

as if they were your own

Don't let your brother, Durjan,

influence them in any way

I've bequeathed my entire property

to you

Here, Mansingh.

Read it out to him

I, Thakur Surjeet Singh,

son of Thakur Jasbir Singh

Being of sound mind...

...make this will that after I die,

the inheritor of my entire property...

...and of the treasure

hidden in the dungeon

...will be my son

Thakur Raghuveer Singh

My eldest son, Durjan,

I am ashamed to call my son

Since he lost his way in search

of black magic and sorcery

With this will I disinherit him

So, you disinherit me, old man?

As you lie here on your death bed

How dare you speak like this.

Get out of here!

I'm leaving, but be sure of one thing,

brother

You will not live to inherit

this property

And hear me out before dying,

old man!

That black magic and sorcery,

for which you disinherit me...

will be the means by which

I shall own all of your property

Go out of here,

you insolent fool!

Get out of here, I say!

Father! Father!

In spite of being buried here

these many thousands of years

this body is still alive

Whose corpse is this, Chief?

This is not a corpse

This is the Demon God,

made from sacrificial soil

Its soul has died with time

but the body lives still

Blood from a sacrificed innocent

can bring it once more to life

I will perform that sacrifice...

when I slaughter the children

of Thakur Raghuveer Singh!

Mansingh! Mansingh! Mansingh!

Raghuveer, my friend.

How did this happen?

How?

That bastard, Durjan, attacked us

along with his men

He injured me badly and kidnapped

both my daughters

What?

Mangal, take him inside

immediately

No, friend, it's too late now

I am dying

Raghuveer, my friend!

Mansingh, that wicked Durjan has

kidnapped my two young daughters

- He plans to sacrifice them

- Sacrifice?

But, why?

He wants to steal the treasure

hidden in the Dark Cave

He needs the map to find it

That treasure belongs to our ancestors,

Mansingh

- What's this?

- A map of the treasure

But only half of it

The other half is in a locket

around my eldest daughter's neck

Oh, master!

Oh, powerful ruler of the underworld

Grant me everlasting youth

and immortal life

I sacrifice to you

these innocent children...

that I may myself live

the years left to them

And thus gain long life

and finally immortality

Master! Master!

Thakur Mansingh's men

attacked us

- You must escape

- What's this?

Take the secret route out

and bring the children

Hurry up!

- Leave me

- Hurry up

Leave me. Leave me.

Leave me

Arrest this treacherous man!

Ensure no one escapes!

You traitor! You have killed my friend

Thakur Raghuveer Singh!

And to appease your Demon God,

you planned to sacrifice his children

- Tell me where they are

- I don't know

Mangal, search for them

Bind this fool with chains and

take him to the dungeon

Stop or I shoot!

Let me go. Let me go...

Sister! Sister!

Sapna! Sapna! Sapna!

Sister!

Mangal!

Mangal! Mangal!

Where is the other girl?

I could save only the younger one,

Mansingh

The elder daughter is lost

somewhere in the jungle

I couldn't find her. I couldn't find her

I see... so this is the Demon God

to whom you have dedicated your life

How many innocent lives have you

sacrificed in his evil name?

He is not evil, but the Emperor

of the dark world, Mansingh

For thousands of years, men like you

have tried to destroy him

But this Demon God made from the

sacrificial mud will never perish

Never! Never!

Very well!

Then keep worshipping him

in this dark cave

Here in this dungeon,

you will be starved of sunlight

Your body will be gasping for fresh air

in the dark pit

In this place you so love

you will die a hideous death

My death will give new life

to the Demon God

As for that treasure

you denied me possession of...

no other human hand

will ever possess it

Take him away

Come!

Mansingh...

Remember one thing, Mansingh!

The Demon God will kill all who enter

this dungeon in search of that treasure

Mansingh!

So, Mr Superstar, have you ordered

something to eat?

Or are you just sleeping it off?

Aarti darling, what have you done?

You woke me from a beautiful dream

Hey, Big Guy, one dreams at night,

not during the day

So what should we do

during the day?

Hey, let me at least

get in the mood

Don't be so eager

Darling, it's love that makes

the world turn

Yes, but I need to eat too

Let's order something now

Okay. I'll do it

- You called, sir?

- Yes, what's good to eat?

We have mutton curry, chops, biryani

chicken curry, roll, chops, biryani

Bread rolls, stuffed rolls, hot rolls

... and chilled water

Did you work in an Iranian restaurant,

by any chance?

That is indeed correct, sir

Long back, I used to serve food

at an Iranian restaurant

Then I tried to become a hero

but became a zero

Now, I'm a waiter here

So, what would you like to eat?

Ready, sir

- Two boiled eggs

- I've written it

- What did you write?

- Two boiled legs

You stupid man!

Not legs... Eggs

- Eggs. Two eggs

- And, listen...

One plate of thinly sliced hot...

chips

- Sliced hot... Lips

- Not lips... CHIPS!

Chips. Potato chips! Potato!

- Do you serve fish?

- Indeed... Very sexy...

- You stupid man!

- Idiot!

- You dope head!

- Dirty perv

Okay, if that's the way you want it

I'll have you both arrested

on a rape charge...

You just wait and see

Vijay, here's your friend, Anand

Here you are.

I've been looking for you

- What's up?

- Bad news, I'm afraid

Your father's had a heart attack

Come with me

Daddy, how are you feeling now?

Another stroke, I'm afraid

And, this time, it's done for me

No way,

I know you'll be all right

I have only one regret...

The promise I made

to your father Thakur Raghuveer Singh

Now I will be unable to fulfil it

No, uncle

My dear, I searched far and wide

for your sister, Sapna

But I never found her

My dear, take this

Yes, dear, this belongs to you now

The other half of this locket

is with your sister, Sapna

I don't have much time left

Send a telegram at once

to my nephew Shakaal in Bombay

Uncle?

Shakaal... It's good of you

to come so quickly

I left the moment I got

your telegram

Don't worry, uncle, you'll be all right.

Don't worry

No...

I know I am about to die

We all have our allotted hour

and mine has come at last

When dying, people leave

behind wealth for their children

But I'm leaving behind a very grave

responsibility for all of you

I am sure, Vijay...

you'll be able to complete

this one last promise of mine

- Anand! Anand...

- Yes, uncle?

- Shakaal

- Uncle...

Promise to help Vijay

in whatever he has to do

- Anand... Shakaal...

- Yes, uncle?

Vijay!

This servant of yours

has served his time

Today I shall destroy

this body of mine

This locket that daddy gave to us
