He's very upset.

Nina's file was closed.

May I come in, sir?

Here's your friend.

Daanish, they've closed Nina's file.

Daanish, get him to understand

that his daughter Nina...

That his daughter Nina Dhar, age 22...

died due to falling

down the stairs.

There were 19 stairs,

and each stair was 7 inches.

Total height 133 inches.

I know these details by heart.

After 13 months,

1 7 days and 8 hours...

all that's changed in this file is

the investigating officer's signature!

The report states facts alone,

Mr. Dhar.

What's the evidence you have?

The evidence lies

in Qureshi's eyes.

Mr. Omkar Nath Dhar,

this is real life...

not your game of chess.

You're right.

In chess,

rooks and knights walk around...

Not rabid dogs.

Daanish.

- Sir.

Get him out of here...

Or I will arrest him.

Sir.

Let's go, Panditji.

Come.

O Benefactor

O Lord

O Benevolent one

O Lord

Be my guide

Show me the way

Stay by my side

Or I'll go astray

O Lord...

Be my guide Show me the way

Stay by my side

Or I'll go astray

With empty palms,

at Your door I stand

Seeking wisdom

from Your generous hand

Be my guide

Show me the way

Stay by my side

Or I'll go astray

Do not torment me with doubt

This answer I can't live without

Papa...

O Lord...

To Your grace,

I appeal, my friend

If You shun me,

it'll mean my end

O Lord...

Be my guide Show me the way

O Lord...

O Lord...

O Lord...

Show me the way

O Lord...

O Lord...

Show me the way

Show me the way

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Daanish! Mr. Daanish!

Panditji!

Panditji! Panditji!

Hello. Hello?

Sartaj!

Panditji!

- Mr. Daanish! Here!

Look what he's done.

He ran out that window.

I'll check.

Look what he's done.

Drink some water.

- What happened?

Wazir.

Wazir.

Wazir.

I was sleeping.

Suddenly... I heard a loud noise.

When I came out... there was fire

My chessboard was burning.

A mere pawn... hurls a shoe?

At the king?

Now play chess with me.

Who are you?

I could be anyone.

Oh yes!

I could be the knight...

Tick tock!

Jumps between light & dark squares!

Or the bishop.

Never walks straight!

But I'm the biggest piece

that all the others fear.

I am...

Wazir! The Queen piece

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

All the king's horses

and all the king's men

Couldn't put Humpty together...

AGAIN!

This is the hand that

hurled the shoe, right?

Does it hurt?

The crippled pawn must remember...

that one challenges only equals.

That's when you call it a game!

If a pawn takes

on the mighty King...

he'll be crushed to death.

If you even look at

Yazaad Qureshi again...

I'll burn you alive!

A bit darker under the eyes...

thicker beard.

Take care.

Pammi, please see him out.

- Yes.

Sir?

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you.

Wazir.

I throw a shoe at Qureshi

and he sends Wazir.

To him, I'm a crippled pawn.

He doesn't know that

I too have a weapon.

My friend...

If anything happens to me,

my friend won't spare the king.

No harm will come to you.

I promise!

Papa, please help me...

Daanish Ali!

Is my sketch haunting your dreams?

Who's that?

- Don't you recognize me?

I'm Wazir.

I heard your promise,

"No harm will come to you"

Are you sure?

Open your email.

See? Making a bomb is so easy!

I'm making one too...

for your buddy.

A bomb - for a shoe!

My men are

watching Qureshi's core team.

We must find Wazir.

Start tapping their phones.

Including Qureshi's.

Daanish, are you crazy?

Tap the Welfare Minister's phone?

I want Wazir, Sartaj.

Isn't it amazing!

It's faster than the previous one!

Hey, Daanish! Daanish!

Do me a favour?

- Sure.

Please send a 'Thank-You' note.

To whom?

To Mr. Wazir!

There are two sides of every coin.

Wazir burned my wheelchair...

but that's how I got this new chair!

You're a strange man.

- I agree.

He could've done something worse...

Worst case scenario? I'd be dead.

Yeah, Sartaj.

Where are you?

With Panditji, at the hospital.

I've got the file

of Yazaad's tapped calls.

Can we meet?

- Sure. Where?

Brother, this is the

first and last time...

that I tap a Minister's calls.

If I get suspended too...

we'll both be on the roads,

selling...

Burgers-on-the-go!

Mr. Qureshi,

I've received the money.

Sir, your tickets

for Kashmir are booked.

Reservations done too.

Qureshi's going to Kashmir tomorrow.

Wazir speaking.

I'll tell SP...

Friday, 8pm. Hauz Khas Garden.

Friday? That's today!

Let's go!

Move!

Stop!

On your knees!

Raise your hands!

Look up.

What's your name?

Your name!

Tushar. Tushar.

Full name!

Tushar Sharma.

Hello.

A little message is

all it took to fool you!

Where's my 'Thank-You' note?

Didn't the old man

ask you to send me one?

"Hey Daanish! Daanish!"

"Do me a favour?"

"Please send a 'Thank-You' note."

I was right there...

watching you...

but you didn't see me.

I'll kill you!

What if I kill your

buddy before that?

What'll happen to your promise then?

If you want to save the old fool...

stop tracking me.

And keep an eye on him!

In Chess Land,

there lived a tiny pawn.

All the chess pieces loved him.

But the pawn had one

enemy - the evil king...

who made the pawn cry.

Teary-eyed, the pawn went to...

What's this message?

I'm sorry I failed

to look after our friend.

Will apologize

personally in Kashmir.

Who is Qureshi talking about?

Message sent on 24th November.

Who was in Delhi to meet him?

Find out who came to meet Qureshi

Oh!

- Noorie's favourite!

You made them?

I'll be right back.

Thanks for the cake!

Storms of disasters

fail to make me cry

But a moment of your

absence will flood my eye

Have one.

Panditji says wherever she is,

it'll make her happy.

Go ahead.

Whether you say it or you don't

My heart can hear...

You're with me, my dear

You're right here

You're with me, my dear

You're right here

Thank you.

Huh?

Thank you.

Thank you? What for?

Ruhana spoke to me today.

- Oh!

I told you I'll work some magic.

What did you think?

That Pandit was too drunk

to remember his promise?

My friend...

Vodka turns me into an Einstein!

Surely you can afford

an occasional smile.

When the Creator asks me...

"Omkar Nath Dhar..."

"What did you achieve

in the long life I gave you?"

At least I can say...

"Sir, I taught a friend to smile."

Come beloved...

let me take you amidst the stars

The oldie keeps

listening to this oldie.

Let me grant his wish...

and send him to the stars.

Guess how?

Like this.

One

Two

Three

BOOM!

Daanish.

Daanish.

Daanish!

Sartaj, stay with Panditji.

- Yes.

See this ticket.

Your pal is going to Kashmir...

chasing the King.

Stop him.

Today, just his pawns blew up...

but the next time...

Get it?

Khurana.

- Yes, sir.

One moment.

So, packed everything?

Sweater? Jacket? Took everything?

It must be freezing there.

Where?

Yes...

I'm going to Kashmir.

What for?

To hurl the other shoe?

No.

This time, it won't be a shoe.

This is mybattle, Daanish.

It's for me to fight.
