the other side.

This is the true

story of three friends..

Muninder, Benoy and Rohit.

The kingdom where they

lived would select..

..the smartest boys for training.

Years later, they would join

the King's prestigious army.

But nobody really knew what

went on inside the castle.

Their parents didn't know

that the King's evil minister.

Was brain-washing the kids

and turning them into robots.

Is it a true story?

Yes.

The wicked man's name was Rathod.

Rathod!

Yes, Rathod.

Vikreet and Benoy were

with the full Robot Army..

Muninder and the kids

were due any minute now..

Rohit was worried.

They hadn't come yet.

He turned around. And froze.

A terrified look came into his eyes.

He saw someone

coming through the tunnel.

Someone was coming from the tunnel..

Who was coming?

Who was it?

We'll finish tomorrow..

- Now!

34 in Chemistry

20 in Physics. 1 5 in Maths.

You told me you passed.

Is this a joke to you?

I thought you'd finally become

serious about your studies.

You're narrating

stories to half-dead people.

Just to hear them tell you

what a good writer you are.

What are you staring at?

Lower your eyes.

If this wasn't a hospital,

I would skin you right now.

I'm not going to

forget this in a hurry.

Come home. I'll make

sure l get an answer.

What did Sir say?

Sir said that he will send

me to the hospital as well.

Why?

Because I failed my exams.

So you'll go back

to boarding school?

No. Why?

Sir said if l don't pass,

he'll send me to a boarding school.

What happened that day?

Sir hit me.

Why?

Two boys were teasing me at school.

I broke one's teeth.

Did he beat you a lot?

He beat me with a belt.

Shall we go?

How old are you?

I'm asking you something.

How old are you?

Seventeen.

Seventeen..

And you still don't use your brain.

When will you start?

After you turn forty?

Why did you fail?

I didn't study.

Why not?

I don't understand engineering.

You didn't try hard enough.

I did.

- Shut up!

A failure.

If you weren't studying,

what were you doing?

I'd sit by the river.

What did you do there?

Smoke cigarettes?

Yes

When did you start smoking?

In school.

So why did you lie earlier?

Light it.

I'm not joking. Light it.

Smoke it..

What other lies have you told me?

Lying is a weakness.

It's cowardice.

A liar is a spineless person.

Who doesn't have the Guts to

say what he really believes.

You're a coward.

Do you have the Guts

to hear the truth?

I ask the questions here.

I said I want to be a writer.

Did you listen?

You know that l'm a good writer.

Everyone likes my writing..

I don't.

And I will not discuss it anymore.

How often have you lied to me?

Every time you

couldn't digest the truth

Rohan.

- And where is your spine?

You lied as well. You said

that Arjun fell down the stairs.

He didn't fall down the stairs.

I know that you beat

him with your belt.

I lost a contract

worth a lot because of him.

He should understand

the consequences.

By hitting him?

- It was a mistake.

By sending him to hospital?

I didn't want to send him to the

hospital. I said it was a mistake.

I didn't want to hit him.

I apologized to him.

Well done Sir.

Scar the child for life..

..scare him to death

and then apologise.

Your father would have been proud.

- Rohan!

I said it happened by mistake,

I didn't want to hit him..

Did I tell you?

Sir?

What?

Won't you apologise to me now?

You!

Good morning.

Good morning, Sir.

Arjun get up.

I know you're awake.

Get up.

I'm here to apologize..

Forgive me.

There's too much work and

then there's the two of you.

I get frustrated.

I get angry, and then..

I thought a lot last night.

I have done a lot for both of you.

But it was never enough.

And it never will be.

Rohan, you don't want to study

So there's no need

to study any more.

You start work full

time at the factory today.

You will reach one hour

earlier than the others..

And you leave two

hours after they leave.

Okay?

Arjun

I have spoken to the principal.

A new semester starts in two weeks.

You're going to boarding school.

To study and live there.

Okay?

I've decided to

marry again. For myself.

I get very lonely.

And now that both of you won't

be here, it will get worse..

Okay?

Okay.

You're getting married?

Yes.

To whom?

Somebody.

And Rohan? Arjun?

They're insolent.

I will always be their enemy.

But they're your children.

You're sending Arjun to boarding

school? He's six years old..

I was six when dad sent me..

But Arjun isn't like you.

Then he'll become like me.

Forget all this..

You want a drink?

No.

Please think about

what you're doing.

I have thought about it..

I took this decision

after thinking.

If it's too much for you

we can take care of Arjun.

What did you say?

What do you mean 'too much'?

I mean..

What do you mean by 'too much'?

We can bring him up. Take care

of him. Send him to school.

We have no children..

- Arjun is my son.

And I'm not in the

business of selling children.

Why take this the wrong way?

All I'm saying if it's too hard..

- What are you saying?

It isn't my fault that

you didn't have children.

Adopting Arjun won't cure

your infertility will it?

That's not fair

Not fair?

You want to tell me what's fair?

Get lost..

What is your problem?

Why can't you ever see anyone happy?

I'm tired.

I'm tired of making everyone happy.

First Father, then you.

Now these two. I can't take it.

Have you ever given him one chance?

- One chance?

I put everything into his education.

He got kicked out.

I begged for his admission

into College. He failed.

What else has he ever done?

He's written a novel.

- He's written nonsense!

Stop encouraging him.

Stop living your

unfulfilled dreams through my son.

I don't want him to

become like you.

Like me?

Look at yourself..

Big Fat Loser.

What are you looking at? Get out!

Uncle

Where are you going?

- I'm going home.

Take me with you.

- No..

Please uncle

- You have to stay here.

Arjun needs you.

He's going to boarding school.

He'll need you when he gets back.

You're his only friend.

Please uncle.

- Come on Rohan.

Don't do this to me right now.

Please uncle. - Don't do this

to me right now. - Please uncle

Uncle!

No Papa.. No Papa..

Papa not that.

Please.. Papa not that. Please

Sir please not that..

Against the rising waves Your

boat is helpless and tired.

Living one gasp at a time...

Your boat is helpless and tired.

Though the currents

are against you...

lt's time to make a difference.

Hoist the sail with courage...

This is all about your pride.

Shout ahoy and push ahead.

This is all about your pride.

Conquer. Raise the victory flag,

lt's time to do or die.

fly and reach for the sun...

Leave behind the darkness.

This is my son Rohan.

Rohan, this is Madhavi.

Hi Rohan. It's nice to meet you.

Hello.

And this is her daughter Richa.

Richa, say hello..

Hello.

Go wash up.

Come on.

Powerful storms will shake you...

lf you surrender to a whirlpool ...
