Synopsis: This story revolves around Malhar Gopaldas Agnihotri, a out-of-work actor, poor, and dependent on his father, who is heading for retirement. Malhar knows that he can act, very well indeed, all he needs is some encouragement, and some money. He gets neither. His father is abusive, and even gets physical with him openly in front of all the neighors, and even the neighborhood. Malhar loves a young lady named Apoorva Choudhury, but his affections are mis-applied, as Apoorva only regards him as a friend, and she loves Nihal Joshi, a Police Inspector. Frustrated at the lack of love and encouragement, Malhar takes recourse in an exercise, an exersise that will put him in direct confrontation with the law, as it starts with murder.

Even your bones will

get shattered. Come on.

Come on, old man.

I won't let the

curtains lower so soon.

There are many more dramas left to do.

To hell with your..

Glory to..Lord Hanuman!

Drive father.

Baffles the police and robs the bank.

This is ridiculous.

It's an embarrassment

for our government.

The elections are round the corner.

But sir, we cannot stop

him from talking to anyone.

..to gain publicity and humiliate us.

I don't understand why

he's taking such a risk.

..and now he's taking revenge.

But this won't continue for too long.

Because we have

started investigating..

..the fingerprints found at Mrs.

Chawla's home.

And we're matching them with

all the criminals in the city.

- And soon..

- No..no..no..no.

These are lengthy procedures.

I want results.

Results.

Stop!

We police officers

get only 2 hours of sleep.

They've been put

on round-the-clock duty.

Come on..get up..get up.

We're searching every nook

and corner of the city for a clue.

..that was used to take

the money stolen in the robbery.

We've inquired in every

shop within the 25 kilometer area.

Listen..

- Was this bag sold from your shop?

- This isn't ours, sir.

- Take a good look. - But we haven't had

any good luck in finding..

..where the bag came from.

But why are you telling me

what the police is doing or not doing.

And the truth is..the

women in the city..

..fear that the police are useless.

You have failed.

Failed. Failed. Failed.

- Sir, you're ignoring our hard work.

- I know..

But the opposition will blow

this matter out of proportion..

..and deem us unfit

to run the government.

You are unfit.

Sir you tell me what

the police should do.

Do one thing..call a press-conference.

So that the people would know

about the arrangements we've done.

And yes..assure the press that..

"We will arrest the

criminal in 24 hours!"

Don't try to be sarcastic, okay.

Don't try to be sarcastic!

You forget that even we

are ordinary people, and not God..

..who can reach the scene

of crime before it occurs.

- Excuse me, sir. I've a question.

- Yes, go ahead.

Sir, we know that the

police works really hard.

Not just the ordinary people.

But the police gives

security to criminals as well.

Protect them..

And in order to save the

government from the trouble..

..they make a living

from here and there.

But it's hard to

understand why the police..

..couldn't find a single clue

even after 4 murders and 2 robberies.

Shall we consider it

your helplessness or weakness?

Look, it's neither our

weakness or helplessness.

We don't want that criminal to

find out what we're doing or thinking.

We want to keep him guessing.

Do you understand?

Hey..you can't go inside.

There's a meeting going on inside.

So what? Let me go. Move.

- Who are you?

- Who else? I am a reporter.

Who else can be in

such a condition? Move.

Look, it's been 50 years

since we got independence..

..and look at what he's done.

Look..look..

Hey camera..look..capture this.

Show they my face.

'Vande Mataram..'

What 'Vande Mataram..'

They say it's been 50 years..

What independence?

Listen..silence, please..

Did you file a complaint

with the police?

What?

Did you file a complaint

with the police?

Complaint..

The police has done this to me.

- Look..

- With one eye.

This press conference

is regarding a criminal.

Yes, the criminal who's

been robbing everyone..

Robbing them.

He'll have a conversation with

you and leave..and you wouldn't know.

Fine..fine..file a complaint, and

I'll personally look into the matter.

Look into the matter.

- Madam.

- Yes.

Give me that pad.

Look into the matter. Complaint.

So we've a witness who

can help us find that criminal.

And when I get my hands on him..

..I will talk to him personally.

Here's my witness. Yeah..

Do read it when you get the time.

- Madam.

- Yes.

Please give it to him.

Give it to him. Read it.

- Thank you.

- It's okay.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Look at what's happened

to your world, God.

Where's that witness? Where is he?

What is his name?

We cannot tell you

about his whereabouts.

Because his life can be in danger.

But sir, it could also mean..

..how will it protect the entire city?

'You wished to see me..I'll

see you at your home.'

'Your criminal.'

- Hello, sister-in-law.

- Hello.

The department can't tolerate

this man for 25 seconds..

..and you tolerated him for 25 years.

There's something about

him which even he doesn't know.

Hi, how are you?

For the party?

What happened.. - Lift's stopped.

Sachin is the best

batsman in the world.

Yeah.

Do you remember that

134 against Sri Lanka?

- Yes.

- Mind-boggling batting.

Mind-boggling, I tell you.

- Where?

- 5th floor.

I see.

Anybody there?

Oh my, God.

It was so hot.

Sachin's going to bat,

I don't want to miss it.

You enjoy yourself, I'll leave.

- Bye, sir.

Hello, Commissioner.

After a long time.

- How are you, sir?

- Great.

..a run out.

..score a 100.

What's the score?

Looks today Tendulkar has

set himself to get a 100.

He's played very well.

Well played.

What are you doing?

I am hungry. Eat something.

Take the packet of bread from there.

- Sister-in-law didn't come along?

- No, she's visiting her mother.

- I see..

- See you then.

- I need to make an urgent call.

- Okay, sir.

- Okay, bye.

- Goodnight.

Look..look, this portion.

- Hello. Apurva speaking.

- Hello, it's me.

It's him. Yes.

I am waiting for the commissioner..

..and there's no sign of him?

Hello, where are you?

From his home.

People are getting robbed,

and the commissioner is partying.

- You want to meet me.

- Yes, of course.

- Yes..I'll wait for you.

- Sure?

Confirmed.

- Hello.

- What happened?

- Hello, listen.

- The phone's dead.

My God, he's at the

commissioner's home.

Hang up and get the camera. Quickly.

Let's go.

Mahadev.

Mahadev, what's the score?

Is Sachin out?

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Bye. Hi.

Mahadev.

..wonderful play by Tendulkar..

He's steering India

to a place in the final..

Respected Commissioner, I came

to see you but you weren't at home.

I had 4 eggs and 6 bread pieces..

..and I've kept 9 rupees for it.

I really loved your cap,

so I am taking that along.

- Good evening, sir.

- You?

What are you doing here?

Sir, that criminal just

called that he's in your home.

What nonsense? How is this possible?

- Sir.

- I..

I'll get it.

- "Commissioner.."

- Wait. Wait-wait-wait.

Please, give it to me.

Give it to me.

Thank you, sir.

Apurva Chaudhary, I am warning you..

- ..don't use this..

- Thank you, sir.

- You'll have to face the consequences.

- Bye sir.

What are you doing here?

How did they get in here?

Nonsense.

"Law and Order in a quandary."

"Police Commissioner helpless."

"Barges in Commissioner's

home and steals his cap."

This is Apurva Chaudhary's doing.

She has mocked the

entire police department.

Now we must do something big..
