- What?

To have siblings, parents.

Everyone living in harmony.

Share one's joys and sorrows.

Did I say something wrong?

- No, you're absolutely right.

One never gets used to living alone.

One always wishes that...

But "If wishes were horses..."

"Should I find a place

in your heart..."

"my desires, my love,

would blossom too"

"I'm crazy.

All I need are my eyes..."

"to give you a loving glance"

"May youth be supported

by youth, my dear..."

"you are the only one I wish

to have as my companion"

"I'm crazy.

All I need are my eyes..."

"to give you a loving glance"

"Above our heads

are the open vast skies..."

"Eden, for us,

lies right here"

"A life without love

is nothing"

"Joy is where love is"

"Even if it is

strewn with thorns..."

"I shall follow you on the path

you tread"

"I'm crazy.

All I need are my eyes..."

"to give you a loving glance"

"The signs our eyes make..."

"my heart says,

I belong to you"

"It's the eyes

that speak in love..."

"losing the heart

is so much fun"

"Seek, and you shall have it

from your beloved..."

"all you need is to

seek earnestly"

"I'm crazy.

All I need are my eyes..."

"to give you a loving glance"

"May youth be supported

by youth, my dear..."

"you are the only one I wish

to have as my companion"

Greetings, sir.

- Where is your Master and Mistress?

They...

- Welcome! We've been waiting for you.

Hello, sister-in-law.

This is...

Come here.

She is Mala.

Mala, this is my sister-in-law.

Don't be so formal.

Be comfortable, come on.

When did you come?

- Just now.

You're always busy in your cases.

This is my husband, Vijay's brother.

So, this is Mala.

Look, here you'll have no problem.

Except for my wife's chatter!

- Why does he object to my chatter?

Come, Mala, let's go.

If you've no objection, may I...

Yes of course. Take her.

- Come, my dear.

Nice girl.

- Yes. She has nobody.

I thought she'd learn something

if she stays here.

Good. My wife will have company too.

She's all alone the whole day.

One can't believe this girl

could be so brave!

That man she helped to arrest.

Has he told you anything?

No, not as yet. But he will.

Let me sleep.

I haven't slept for days,

so how can you? Talk!

I know nothing. Nothing.

You know everything!

Whom do you work for?

I know nothing, I tell you.

Nothing!

Goga, I've seen bigger criminals

than you, break down here.

I'll go on asking you forever,

and you'll have to tell me!

This inspector is beginning

to disturb me a bit too much.

Yes, sir?

- It won't be bad...

if this problem is erased forever.

I'll take 2 of my men today, and...

- No.

I don't want to use

my men for this job.

Find an old foe of the inspector.

And bribe him heavily.

This inspector's a queer guy too.

He just doesn't accept bribe.

Mona, just as dishonesty is

a weakness with some...

Honesty is also a

weakness with others.

If I don't find a proper man

to finish off the inspector...

he'll find himself in jail,

with all his honesty and integrity.

In jail?

Are you Sher Khan?

- By working under a car...

does one become somebody else?

Come to the point.

- Someone's to be bumped off!

So bump him! Why take

my permission?

You've to do the job.

So name your price.

First tell me the victim's worth.

25 thousand now, and the same,

when the job's done. Okay?

An inspector's life is worth 50,000?

Sounds a very honest officer. Name?

- Inspector Vijay Khanna.

I don't hunt tigers!

As it is, our country

has very few tigers left.

I hear even the Government

has banned tiger-hunting.

Khan, 50,000

is not a small sum.

You're lucky that you

said that under my roof.

I don't raise my hand in my house

even at my foe! Anywhere else...

and at the rate of 50,000 I'd have

earned 150,000 for the three of you!

Get out, you devils! Wait!

Take away the ill-gotten money.

Get out!

It's you, sir.

- What's this? Come outside.

Just this one left.

- Give it to me. Now come out.

Sit. Look, I didn't bring you here

to sharpen the knives.

I brought you here to learn.

- I've learnt a lot from "Bhabi".

What have you learnt?

- A, B, C, D...

Enough.

- Any mistake, sir?

Why do you call me "Sir"?

Don't you know my name?

Yes. Vijay, sir.

- Not again!

My name's Vijay. Call me Vijay.

- Okay, sir.

Greetings, Vijay Khan!

Sher Khan? Come on in.

What brings you here?

- Where are you?

I've been looking since morning.

- Be seated.

Today, I lost 50,000

because of you!

What! How come?

- I'll tell you.

This is Mala.

Mala, he is Sher Khan.

A very good friend of mine.

- She may, or may not know me...

but I've understood her well.

- What do you know?

Look, I may not be married,

but I've attended many weddings!

You're like a younger sister.

Don't mind if I talk like this.

I'm always joking.

Vijay, hear this.

Anything special?

- Would I come here otherwise?

Your life's in danger. Some men

offered me 50,000 to kill you!

So? You should've taken it!

- Don't be funny. I'm worried.

Don't worry about me.

They can't do anything to me.

I know you're daring and brave.

But remember a pack of wild dogs...

can kill even a tiger.

I'll be your bodyguard.

No, friend. I'm a police officer.

I know how to deal

with such people very well.

Your wish. It was my duty to warn you.

But if I can be of help, tell me.

Go, she's waiting for you.

God bless, you two.

What is it? All's well I hope?

- Yes it is.

This man Sher Khan,

is a very nice man.

If anything happens to me,

then trust just two people.

My brother Anil and Sher Khan.

- Why are you saying this?

What will happen to you?

- Nothing. Just telling you.

Okay, sir.

- "Sir" again?

I won't say it again.

- I'll go now. See you in the evening

Listen...

- What is it?

Shall I say it?

- Yes. Go on... say it.

Inspector!

Run!

Sir! Greetings, sir.

Greetings. How are things running?

- I run a peddle-cart.

I was going to come myself and

see you. That money you gave...

No hurry.

- Sir, I've a room in this very lane.

Please come.

- I told you, no hurry.

If you have a cup of tea with me

it'll add to my status, sir.

Please, sir.

- I'm late already. Some other day.

Just 2 minutes, sir. Please come.

Okay, but don't waste time.

Sit in the jeep.

Get 2 cups of tea.

Come in, sir.

This is it, sir.

- Very nice.

A poor man's abode.

Come and sit down, sir.

Wait, sir.

It's okay...

- Sit down, sir.

Sir, take this.

- Look, I'll say it again.

If you need it, keep it.

- If I need it, I'll ask for it.

Please take it.

- Think again.

It's okay, sir.

- As you wish!

I'm happy to see you

leading an honest life.

It's all due to you, sir.

- Right then, I'll go now, It's late.

Your tea, sir. Hey you,

get the tea, pronto!

We're from the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

- So? What do you want?

We want to search you.

- Search me? But... What the hell?

Same notes.

- They were given to me by this man.

And we had given them to him.

They're all marked.
