you been up to all evening?

You look as if you've found

a treasure

You could say that. A long-lost friend

is no less than a treasure

You'll be glad when you meet Raj.

You're certain to like him!

Who is this Mr. Raj? Where does he live?

What does he do? What's his family name?

He's a childhood friend.

We were in school together

I'm seeing him after twelve years!

After twelve years?

After so many years,

most people change

Raj has changed too. At school,

he used to be very quiet

Now he has great sense of humor.

When I asked him what he's up to...

he said he's a thief

Maybe that wasn't a joke?

I don't follow you

Never mind

You know what young men

are like, these days

Who knows, they might steal

something valuable

The water is deep.

You might drown

Not without you

Is that so?

Try that

Is that so?

Hey lady, haven't you finished

dressing yet?

Where are you headed?

Gentlemen don't barge in...

when ladies are changing dresses.

Don't you know that?

How would I know?

I'm no gentleman

Savage

I'm not about to give in

to your type

Where are you running away?

Let go of my hand. What kind

of a stupid joke is this?

You savage!

Am I...?

- Yes!

You're a savage!

- Savage?

I'm a penniless, uneducated tramp!

I don't fit into high society!

How dare I maul your fragile body

with my beastly hands

I told Ma that childhood friends,

like childhood days are gone...

never to return

Good of you to have told me

my class

It was a joke. Don't get angry

You want to hit me? Go ahead

Whom will I hit?

You...?

Or myself...?

Are you happy?

Where are you lost?

Up there

Come back

Where to?

Beside me

Why?

No reason

Aren't you ashamed?

What are you looking at?

The Moon?

No

Clouds

What's your problem?

You don't see the Moon...

and you see the dark clouds?

Won't you tell me?

Who else can I tell?

We're seeing each other

after twelve years

A lot changes in twelve years.

- The Judge said that too!

But I don't agree. Look at us.

We're still friends

The Judge is right.

You know nothing about me

Who I am...

my circumstances...

my family background...

what I have been doing...

what I am doing

You know nothing about me

Nor do I want to know

All I know is that you are

the one I...

Rita, you are so nice.

But so naive

And you're such a fool

A savage

I'm not talking to you

Look

The clouds?

They are moving away from my Moon

You know, today's my birthday

Which? Tenth? Eleventh?

You don't ask a lady that

All right, I'll whisper it to you

Twenty one

No! It's looking at us

What?

- That!

"I wish the Moon would

look away for a while..."

"while I make love to him"

"I'd say a thousand sweet nothings"

"I pray with all my heart..."

"I pray for my love"

"The Moon watches me and

my beloved for the first time"

"On our first night together"

"Hide behind those clouds,

O Moon..."

"while I make love to him"

"While I say a thousand

sweet nothings to him"

"I wish the Moon would

look this way for while..."

"I'd make love to her"

"I'd look deep into her eyes"

"I'm a thief;

I steal"

"I have a bad reputation"

"I have always stolen hearts;

that's just what I have done"

"You must bear witness, O Moon"

"While I make love to her"

"When I look into her eyes"

"You have stolen my heart;

do not go away"

"Do not forget the path

that leads to me"

"Do not trample upon the rose

that is my heart"

"Tell him this much, O Moon..."

"I'll make love to him"

"I'll whisper a thousand

sweet nothings to him"

"If only you look this way,

O Moon..."

"I'd make love to her;

I'd look deep into her eyes"

"If only you looked away

for a while, O Moon..."

One step more, and the boat

will turn over and sink

Say what...?

Let the boat sink

I don't want it

- But the doctor says...

I should eat by eight

Tonight, it's my turn

to be admonished by the clock

You are angry with me, aren't you?

Today I was...

With Raj?

- Raj is no stranger

He's a childhood friend

I made a promise

to your dying father

To take care of you

as long as I live

You must make a promise

If someone likes you,

if you like someone...

you will not give your consent

without telling me

I know, I am much obliged to you.

But it doesn't mean that you can,

time and again...

Boss...?

Recognize me?

Thank you very much!

You haven't much time nowadays

Well son, are you falling in love?

Or, have you given up your profession

for fear of going to jail?

You don't know the size of the scam

I've planned for you

She's an heiress.

Just wait for a few days

I'm angling for a diamond necklace.

- Bravo!

I knew it! You aren't the type

to waste your time

But remember!

If you try to cheat Jagga...

"Nor do I want to know. All I know

is that you are the one I..."

Really...?

"Remember! If you try

to cheat Jagga..."

"Without you, even Moonlight

is a scorching fire..."

"Come to me"

"Like a flute bereft of melody..."

"without you, my life is a misery"

"Come to me"

"This is no life...

no, this isn't"

"In the pyre that is my life,

I burn alive"

"Like red-hot arrows

tears of anguish rip me apart"

"I want not this hell..."

"I seek only roses,

I seek only love"

"A season of Spring, I seek"

"My lover has come home"

"My thirsting eyes are sated"

"You are the pearl

deep inside my heart"

"You are the light of my eyes"

"You are all my childhood fantasies

were about"

"And now you are back"

"Don't break my heart now;

don't go away"

"Don't leave me in tears"

"I beseech you"

Ma!

Help me, Ma!

Ma, I want to be good!

I promise, I won't have anything to do

with Jagga and those others!

I'd rather starve than steal.

I will be good

People will say I'm honest!

Let's go back to our slum

I'll work hard for a living.

I won't steal! Ma, I won't steal!

I want nothing but peace of mind,

and my mother's blessings

I won't steal, Ma.

I'll become honest

Yes, sir?

- You're fired. We won't need you

We don't employ thieves

May I ask something, sir? You say

you don't want to employ thieves?

Would you rather that they keep

thieving all their lives?

Fired?

Come on, the boss is calling you

Raj, what reply do I carry back

to the boss?

This

He will either steal

or he will starve

And how long will he not steal?

He has no way out of crime

Let me see how far he goes

Where are you going?

To see Rita.

- You can't go in. The Judge's orders

The Judge's orders?

Then go and tell her that

Raj is waiting out here to see her

I have much to tell her.

- She can't see anyone. Get going

Get going...? Where to?

Come friend

Let me talk to you

Strange coincidence, isn't it?

You're a tramp, I'm a tramp too

You have no name,

I have no name either

You are homeless,

I have no home either

Like me, you too crave for love

Difference being only that

you are an animal, and I'm human

Human

I have nothing to give you

I can only give love

Why don't you watch your step?

Are you blind?

Mind your tongue.

Bloody savage

Savage... am I a savage?
