Tahkhana Page #2

Synopsis: A dying Thakur Surjeet Singh bequeaths the entire estate to his son, Raghuvir, disowning the other, Dhurjan, the family's black sheep, who also indulges in black magic. The latter swears to use magical powers to usurp the estate, and even arranges the abduction of Raghuvir's daughters, Sapna and Aarti. Mangal and his men manage to apprehend Dhurjan, imprison him in a dungeon, and rescue Aarti. However, they are unable to locate Sapna, and Raghuvir gets killed. Before dying, he informs Mangal that Sapna has one of two pieces of a locket around her neck, while the other is on Aarti's, and when joined together will reveal the location of a treasure buried in a dungeon. 20 years later, Aarti and her boyfriend, Vijay, along with several others, will attempt to unearth this treasure - not realizing that they not only face betrayal from one of their own, but will also release and fall prey to an ageless and indestructible entity.

just before he died...

Seems to be part of a map

It shows the secret route to

the dungeon of Gangapur mansion

Aarti's father hid a priceless treasure

somewhere in that dungeon

But this map is incomplete

The other half of it

is inscribed on another locket

Aarti's sister, Sapna,

has that locket

I'll help you find Sapna.

I'll help you in any way I can

You really believe this story?

Listen, kids, these dungeons,

treasures, mansions, lockets...

This is all out of a fairy story for kids

Your father spent 20 years

looking for that locket and the treasure

You really think it exists?

No chance

It does exist...

And I will find it

OK, Vijay, I'm off now

OK.

We'll come see you in Bombay

What's on your mind?

I'm thinking about my sister Sapna

Vijay, after daddy's death,

your father looked after me

But my sister, Sapna,

she was all alone

I've no idea what she's doing

or even where she is

I want to see the owner

Regarding what?

I need a job

Sorry sister, there's no point.

There are no jobs here

Can't you at least ask.

I really need to work

I'd be very grateful to you

Okay, I'll ask then

There's a girl looking for work

Mona, you know very well

there's no vacancy here

Hey, hold on. Send her in

Right

Shakaal, you're very fond of girls,

right?

Who knows how desperate she is

Are you the owner?

Please have a seat

- Have you worked before?

- No, sir

- So what can you do?

- Anything

- Anything?

- I mean, any kind of work

Can you dance?

I used to dance at college

This poor girl is in trouble

We should help her out

I don't have a lot of money

But I want you to have it

- But...

- No buts. Just take it

Okay, but you'll have to

agree something for me

Take this locket.

Keep it until I pay you back

It's beautiful.

Where did you buy it?

- From my father

- Are you crazy?

You can't give this away

This is your father's gift,

I can't take it

I'll never forget your kindness

Aarti...

I've found your sister!

I told you I'd find her for you

one day

Here's her photo

In the papers... take a look

Is this really her?

My sister's photograph...

See that locket

around her neck?

It's like the one you've got.

But the other half

Looks like it

But where is she?

Wouldn't you like to know

Tell me, Anand, please

She's a dancer

in a Bombay hotel

A cabaret dancer?

Then it should be easy to find her

Shakaal has a hotel in Bombay.

He can help us

I want to go to Bombay today

What do you want?

You're in trouble

and I want to help you

But, why?

I don't like to see unhappy ladies

Here's the price of a smile

Am I really so bad?

Get out or I'll scream

Go ahead

No-one here will come to help you

So scream

You'll be sorry for this

A thousand rupees

for one single smile

This map is incomplete

The other half of it

is inscribed on another locket

Aarti's sister, Sapna,

has that locket

You didn't tell me

you were coming to Bombay

Anand found Sapna's photo.

Look...

she's wearing the same locket

This girl is a dancer and

came to Bombay in search of a job

I know her

She came here looking for a job

But we didn't have anything for her

So...

do you know where she went?

I don't know that, but she was

desperately in need of money

So she sold the locket

to a girl here

- She sold it?

- Don't worry, I bought it

I've got it here.

I'll go get it now

Now we've found the locket,

we'll find Sapna too

Oh, you'll get a locket, alright

But not the original... a fake one

I'll keep the original

You'll search forever

in that dark dungeon

Whilst I go off

and claim that treasure

This is all a bit weird.

We go to Bombay to find Sapna

She sells the locket to Shakaal

and leaves

Yes, but I'm sure

we'll find Sapna soon

At least now we have

the complete map of the treasure

It should be easy to find

Listen, pal, can you do

something for me?

You go with Shakaal

Why? I'm going with you

Hey, don't you get it?

Oh, I get it

You just want to get rid of me

Hey, pal, listen...

You'll have fun with Aarti

While I'm stuck with that

moody idiot

Go on, the pair of you.

Go off and have fun

This will keep me happy

We'll romance on the open street

We'll show the world our love

If people feel jealous seeing us,

so let them be

This is a love story, so let us be

Let us be, let us be

This is a love story, so let us be

If we're in love,

why should we love in secret?

Why should we meet in secret?

Why should we sigh silently?

If we're in love,

why should we love in secret?

Why should we meet secretly?

Why should we sigh silently?

We are going our own way,

who cares what the world says

We've no time to listen

to anybody else

We'll overcome all the obstacles

We'll love in every season

If the people envy us our love,

so be it

This is a love story, let it go on

Let it go on.

Let it go on

This is a love story, let it go on

Now whatever happens

I won't free your hand from mine

Let the world gasp

and taunt in wonder

Now whatever happens

I won't let your hand out of mine

Let the world gasp

and taunt in wonder

I'll even deal with storms

for your sake

We'll bloom with flowers of joy

and walk through lonely lanes

We won't fear anyone, darling

We'll do what we want, beloved

If people are envious of our love,

so be it

This is a love story, let it go on

Let it go on.

Let it go on

This is a love story, let it go on

Let it go on

Let it go on

Let it go on

- Excuse me, brother

- How can I help?

Is this the way

to Kali Pahadi at Gangapur?

Straight on from here

At the river, turn left.

Then straight on to Kali Pahadi

Darling, shall I make you

an omelette?

You want to make me into an omelette?

All right, you stay out there,

I'm hungry

Bastard!

That got rid of those scum

Thank you so much

Hey, look.

Your hand's bleeding

Don't worry.

I'm alright

No, it looks pretty nasty

You should get it treated.

Uncle Ram lives nearby

Come, I'll take you

There you go.

Just try to keep it dry

In two days, it'll be fine

Thank you

Whereabouts are you headed

in Kali Pahadi?

To the old mansion

Thakur Raghuveer Singh's

old place?

Yes. Aarti is his daughter

There are many strange stories

told about that old mansion

It's been empty for years

Uncle, where is Panna?

I can't see her around

Panna! Come here, dear

Oh, I forgot. She is out back

hanging out the washing

Heera, get off me! Stop it!

Father!

Let go of me, Heera!

Stop it, Heera.

Father might see us

You worry about that?

And I was round there pining for you

You little minx

- Hey, Panna, wait

- You have to catch me

My daughter, Panna

They are getting married

next month

Heera, take them

to the old mansion

- Can I go too, father?

- Yes, why not

Heera, take care of her

- Don't worry, sir

- And don't be gone too long

Thank you very much

for your help

You're very welcome

Hey, what's wrong with this car?

It was running fine.

What made it stop like that?

I'll check out the engine.

Hold on

The engine's overheated
