Why have you left

the doors open?

My dearest emperor!

I regret causing

disappointment to you!

Ill thrash you!

Who are you searching for? Wandering

in forest after forest? Sea after sea?

Oh? Are you searching

for Ravana?

My, my.

Your search is futile,

your majesty!

Shouldnt you be

searching for me, Sita?

What the hell are you doing?

-I'm reading.

Reading a book now?

Why is My Lord drinking liqour

instead of searching for Ravana?

Teasing me?

Where is he?

Whom do you seek?

He may be Ravana.

And I may be Sita.

But you are not Rama.

You are certainly not Rama.

So youre here? You

are dead today!

Come down. Come. - Sir, sir...!

Sir!

You dare to come here?

- Sir. Sir.

Don't hit the poor chap.

You came to steal?

- Yes, sir. I did.

You dare mess with me?

- Sir. I'm a thief.

Look at her when you say that!

- I'm telling the truth.

Dont do this.

Look at her and say that.

- Please, leave him.

Tell her. Tell her. Tell her. Tell her.

- Leave him, please.

Let him go.

Let him go!

Let him go, man.

- You speak to me that way now?

I have given you more

respect than you deserve.

Run away. Run away now!

Where are you going?

- Let him go. He is innocent.

Is he? Is he a poor thing?

I'll kill you. Sit.

Tell me. Why did he come?

To sleep with you?

Why did he come here?

- Don't you know?

Did he come to sleep with you?

- YES.

How was he? Better than me?

How was he?

Much, much, much

better than you.

How was he? Better than me?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Better than you!

He was superb. Superb. Superb.

Superb. Superb.

He was superb? Was he?

Was he superb?

Stop it...

Yes, he was! Superb, superb...

- Stop it, woman.

This guy was superb? Stop it!

STOP IT!

I won't.

SUPERB. SUPERB. SUPERB.

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

You came into MY house?

Why do you show your valor to him?

Come show it to me!

What did you say? I'll show you?

- Take your hands off me.

Ill kill you! - I will scream.

Go on, scream! Scream!

Let me hear you.

Stop it! Stop it!

Stop screaming! Stop!

I knew it when I saw

you reading so much,

that youll sleep around

when Im not around!

Bloody b*tch!

Bloody educated b*tch.

What do you know about books?

You police dog!

Not just when you arent around,

even when you are here...

I have and I will keep doing this.

- Watch your tongue.

Ill shoot you.

You threaten to shoot me

once every three days!

If you want to shoot,

shoot, you mongrel.

Shoot! Shoot! Come!

Shoot me, you dog!

COME ON!

Im coming...

I will shoot you!

Seriously, I will shoot you!

You dont have the

balls to shoot me.

And you dont deserve

to shoot me.

Don't, woman. Don't do it!

Don't!

Sorry, Althea...

Sorry, Althea..

I didn't do it on

purpose, Althea.

I shot you...

If I'd had a gun that day,

I would have shot you.

Why did you do this?

I didnt shoot you.

Sorry, Althea. I shot you.

Why? Why did you do this? Why?

I didn't do it on purpose...

Please forgive me. I didn't

do it on purpose, Althea...

Get out.

Get out.

It was my fault, Althea.

- GET OUT!

Get out of my house. Go!

Get out.

Wife killed in a gas cylinder explosion.

Assistant commissioner under suspicion.

Oh, Jesus.

Sir...

Why do you shut the door on me?

I heard Rahim Bhais family is in Nagore.

Thats why I asked for the money back.

Did you mistake me for that?

Sir?

Please, sir.

- The money is in my lunch bag. Take it.

Forget about the money. Atleast

come out and slap me hard.

My elder daughter wanted the

chocolate box to keep her bangles.

Couldn't ask her to return it.

Please, sir.

Thats why I wrapped

the money in paper.

I never asked you for the chocolate box.

Why, sir?

Whatever it is, please tell

it to me face-to-face.

Look...

Get lost.

If I leave, I'll never return.

Listen to me. Go.

Sir?

Get lost. Get lost.

Please, sir.

Did you...?

Jesus!

That house...

Did you take my Venus'

number from my phone?

I locked myself in the room, so

I wouldnt ask such questions.

Leave now. Forgive me.

Not from your phone, sir.

I happened to find it

in a payphone booth.

Sorry, sir. Forgive me.

I didnt know it was Venus number.

Please, sir.

Who am I to forgive you? Go now.

Don't make me talk.

Get lost from here.

I ruined your life.

I ruined everyones lives.

Who are you to ruin my life?

Nobody can ruin anybodys life.

That night you went near my

place, the police came home.

Even a cops wife, will be

afraid of the police, right?

When I went home in the morning,

Venus told me everything.

The children werent around.

I slapped her. I

beat her like hell.

I strangled her neck.

I was afraid she would die.

Then I went to a bar

and drank to the brim.

I was afraid I would hurt

her more if I went home.

I went home late at night.

The door was open.

Venus and the kids

were sleeping inside.

Poor thing.

You know, I havent even raised a

little finger against her before?

Lust.

In my 23 years of married life, I

too have faltered a few times.

But I hid it. Because Im a man.

But Venus, a woman,

confided in me.

If my daughter had done this, I would

have beat her and corrected her.

I would have done the same

with my sisters, too.

Venus is also somebodys

older sister, too.

Venus is somebody's

little sister.

She's some father's

darling girl.

Youve done a good thing, boy.

You didnt ruin anything.

Come here, my boy. Come here!

I said, come.

I didn't know, sir. Forgive me.

Jesus.

Rahim Bhai from Chennai...?

Heard his family moved here.

The elders would know.

You come in the morning. I'll help.

You can sleep in the Dargah.

Anybody can sleep in the Dargah.

No problem.

Brother..

Keep this.

No, sir... - Don't worry.

We'll find Rahim

Bhai's house tomorrow.

Saharama! Saharama!

A man has come from

Chennai to see you.

Bye, Uncle.

I'm from Chennai. Rahim Bhai...?

He passed away.

I know.

Allah...

Who are you?

I saw your husband in

a train one night.

He was asleep.

Nobody was around.

He had 500 thousand

rupees in his bag.

I stole 300 thousand

rupeesfrom that.

I knew from the next day's newspaper

that he died of a heart attack.

He wouldve lived if I

had not taken the money.

Here is the 300 thousand rupees.

Please take it.

Its not because of you, son.

He died of a heart attack at 6 PM,

according to the post-mortem report.

He was in the train an orphaned

corpse from morning to night.

But I am at fault.

I will accept any

punishment you give me.

Even if you hand me

over to the police.

Atleast take this money. Please.

Tonight...

our honourable Prime Minister is set to

announce that 500 and 1000 notes are invalid.

We don't know whether this

woman holds a bank account.

Or if she can exchange

the currency notes.

Vande Mataram.

Sahara.

Uncle here.

Eat it.

Eat, child.

Dont worry. Eat up.

I will.

Son!

Son!

Is this phone yours?

It was lying there.

It's not mine.

Not yours? Its okay. Keep it.

No. You keep it.

I have a phone.

Your phone fell in the water, right?
