Talaash

lt's only the night that

brings the forbidden to life

The streets open their arms

to whoever passes by

This is the path for lost souls

Here a smile doesn't reach the eye

A mask is worn to cover the lie

lt's so festive all around

Even then only loneliness abounds

Yesterday in these very lanes,

in these crushed flowers

There was such a high

Now only thirsty spirits,

wracked in agony

Seem to wander by

All searching for the same thing

Not knowing the futility it will bring

This is the path for lost souls

Here a smile doesn't reach the eye

A mask is worn to cover the lie

lt's so festive all around

Even then only loneliness abounds

Between the lights

and among the shadows

An unhappy secret exists

Why is it here?

What has happened

for such anger to persist

Tell me oh dark night

Nothing escapes your sight

This is the path for lost souls

Here a smile doesn't reach the eye

A mask is worn to cover the lie

lt's so festive all around

Even then only loneliness abounds

Here a smile doesn't reach the eye

A mask is worn to cover the lie

lt's so festive all around

Even then only loneliness abounds

Good morning, sir.

Devrath Kulkarni.

So what happened here?

An accident, sir.

The car crashed into the sea.

l've heard a lot about you...

it's an honour to work with you.

The car came speeding down the road...

and then it swerved...

like... like this...

straight into the sea.

Where were you?

l was sitting over there.

Sir...

Pinky knew something

was about to happen.

She warned us...

but we ignored her.

Who is Pinky?

- Another witness.

- Hello, sir.

That was the only car on the road.

Anything else on the road?

There was absolutely

nothing on the road...

l saw it...

Sir, please come here.

- Get a stretcher.

That's Armaan Kapoor.

Check if there's any lD.

The doors were locked...

he was also wearing the seatbelt.

lt is him.

Thank you.

What's going on here?

Move away... all of you.

We'll get to the bottom of this.

Here.

What happened to Ramu, our driver?

ls he...

Mr. Kapoor was driving...

he was alone.

Alone?

What about Yuvraj?

His spotboy...

he accompanies Armaan everywhere.

There was no one else in the car.

But, Armaan...

Armaan was never on his own.

l don't get it...

why was he driving?

He hates driving.

Get Ramu and Yuvraj's number...

talk to them.

Good morning, mom.

What's wrong, mom?

- Film star Armaan Kapoor

met with an accident...

last night on Seaface road.

He died in the crash.

- Seaface road is part

of Mumbai's underbelly...

famous for the red light area nearby.

lt is not clear what Armaan Kapoor...

- was doing here last night.

- Meanwhile Sonya Kapoor's brother,

Teji Singh has stated that...

- the family is not satisfied

with the police statement...

- that it was merely an accident.

Right now, we need time to

deal with this tragedy...

- only then can we

take any legal recourse.

- We still don't know

what really happened.

What's wrong, Juhi?

Lost your husband?

Bhai...

Bhai...

Armaan Kapoor is dead.

What?

Armaan Kapoor, the actor...

here on Seaface road.

Are you serious?

That's where l'm coming from...

it's chaos down there.

The press is all over

questioning the junkies.

So, you really met him last night?

l thought you were bluffing.

Whom did you meet?

Shut up!

You have only one good leg...

how about l break that too?

Jinxed bastard...

always arrives with bad news.

Here, get us breakfast.

Move it!

Poor guy, you are so mean to him.

Never repeat what l say to you...

in front of others.

Get it?

Sorry.

l said, l'm sorry!

- Sir, is the underworld involved in

Armaan Kapoor's death?

- That's all the information

we have right now.

l'm here outside

Armaan Kapoor's place...

he lived in an apartment

on the top floor.

People have been pouring in

to offer their condolences...

Where is Sonya?

She's upstairs.

Come in Devrath.

Sit.

Tell me.

Armaan Kapoor was shooting at Filmcity

on the night of 4th March...

for producer Deepak Lalwani's film...

they were shooting on floor number 4.

They wrapped the shoot at around 2 AM.

- Pack up!

Good shot, Armaan.

- Both his driver and spotboy

were with him at that time.

- Did you talk to them?

- Yes, sir.

- They said Armaan took

- His staff went about

routinely packing his things.

But, then something unusual happened.

- Armaan sent them both home

from the studio...

- and he drove himself.

- Ramu...

you go home, l'll drive myself.

- Come on...

- They also thought it was odd because

Armaan didn't like to drive.

When did he leave from Filmcity?

At 2:
20 AM.

The accident occurred at 4 AM.

How long does it take to

get to Seaface road from Filmcity?

Probably 30 minutes, at night.

Even if you give it 45 minutes...

where was he for an hour

before the accident?

We don't know that yet, sir.

And Seaface road where

the accident occurred...

is not on his way home.

lnspector Shekhawat...

- Sir, l'm calling from The Times of lndia

to confirm a story.

- Sources tell us that there's an unidentified

number on Armaan Kapoor's mobile.

- ls it true that his last call--

His phone was destroyed by the water,

it's in the workshop.

Who speaks to the press here?

Come on guys,

who here knows journalists...

you know, to help me leak a story?

Sir!

Devrath, confiscate their mobiles.

Your phones.

Quick!

This is a high profile case.

No talking to the media.

The autopsy and forensics details...

any evidence we get...

none of it is to be made public...

until this case is solved.

ls that clear?

l said, no talking to the media...

you can talk to me.

Alright, back to work.

Sir!

l'm Rakesh Rane.

Yes, Rane?

l don't think this case

will ever be solved...

it's an A-final case, sir.

l mean...

there have been similar accidents

on that road in the past few years.

All freak accidents...

put down as acts of providence...

all unexplained.

We didn't get any evidence, whatsoever.

Finally one mystery is cleared...

l know why so many officers

transfer out of this station.

How's it going?

What's up?

Madamji.

Shashi bhai, where did you flick...

l mean buy the belt from?

You again!

Where you off to, Nirmala?

My clients want young girls...

not old hags.

The rest of you... let's go.

- Today's clients have

flown in from Goa.

Don't listen to him.

You look really nice...

l know.

What's the matter, Shashi?

You look tense...

something bothering you?

- Hey!

- Open up!

Shashi...

What were you doing?

Nothing... just trying to rile you up.

Look at you...

guess l managed to!

- Shashi bhai, it's me... Tehmur.

Here's the new SlM card, Shashi bhai.

Take that in.

You changing your number?

You ask too many questions...

are you a lawyer?!

l'm off to my village for a few days.

That's your answer if anyone asks.

Now get lost!

- Take me with you.

- lt's a work-trip...

- not a vacation.

Once it's done,

l'll rush back to you.

But until then...

No one must know anything.

- But what was
