I only know about weapons,
plundering and killing But let me tell you something. If you ever give me a son.. I'll never make him like me. No, I really won't I mean it. I really do Honestly. I'm telling you the truth, my lord Hey, listen everybody What is it? -It's a son! Everything is going as per the plan I asked for a son. I got a son Drinks to everyone on the house! Let's see whom he looks like Whom do you look like son? His nose is just like yours No! He'll not take after me He appears to be from some decent home Look! How royal he looks. Like a judge, barrister, doctor.. He's not that lucky. He'll be what you are! No..! He'll be a King! I've such plans for him that he'll wonder.. How his father made him what he is! We are all ready. It's getting late I'm coming! Okay wifey, I'm off. It's urgent Listen, don't go today. -Then when should I go? Today's a lucky day. A very lucky day I got a son, and I'll get a big haul of gold too! I'll just go and get it Everything here ? -Yes Very good. Follow me in the truck. Hurry up! Come on driver, step on it What is 1l10th of 50 lakhs? -5 lakhs An egg ? Stop the truck! Why what's the matter? -The whole stuff's gone, boss That Shankar has fooled us yet again And you just gawked? Bloody fool Today's a great day! We got all the gold Just like you. -No! My son will not be like me at all. Never! Master! Master! -What's it? Shankar's son is being abducted by J K's men What! Let's see how they do it with me around Wait, J K! Return Shankar's child I will, He-man. I will. Let him return my gold first I'll return his child. That's between you two adults. Don't involve the baby in it Then you also don't involve yourself in our dispute Look J K, I don't pick a fight. But if I do I don't give up either Give me the kid! Stop! Enough is enough Come on, hand over Shankar's kid to me Here Shankar, save your kid One day you'll be sold as cheap as dirt But what will remain behind will be your words Leave something behind you, and then leave this world One day you'll be sold as cheap as dirt But what will remain behind will be your words The impossible may lay thorns in your path But the possible may help to find a lost friend This estrangement, this separation That moment's helplessness Why should the hearty be scared? The streams that flow strongly are bound to meet somewhere So become a flowing stream and then leave this world What will remain behind is your words Behind the veil sits a dusky beauty Holding yours and mine heartstrings in her hand May she never let go, nor this bond be broken It'll be morning soon, since night will end now Why are you sitting with your eyes cast down? Lock your eyes with the girl's and then leave this world One day you'll be sold as cheap as dirt What will remain behind will be your words Ladies and gentleman, I've just got a good news.. Which I would like to share with you all By the grace of God, after 14 years a son is born to me Thank you. Today he's born in a Nursing Home Tomorrow he'll take a bow in the world of fine arts I request you, just as you have loved my art and me.. Bless me that one day my son too will stand on this stage.. To serve you and the arts as a great entertainer You're okay? My son.. Bless you, dear son. You took so long in coming Today, when I announced your arrival in the theatre..

My kid's crying. -Don't worry. Kids usually do cry. -No, this one's bawling. Excuse me.. Babies usually cry, don't they? That's what the Doc said too. That babies cry But when babies cry, I get a very funny feeling Don't you feel the same? I too was blessed with a son after 14 years Here, take this for him. Babies are bound to cry The game's over, Shankar Now will you hand over the gold or the baby? I'll sire another one I smell a rat. -Not at all, sir Okay. You win this time I will make up for my loss some other time With a better plan than yours You'll jump with joy when you hear it I've changed my son's destiny. The police won't touch him now He won't be a vermin now. In fact he'll become great I've left him at Mr Ashok's place His ears will echo with beautiful songs I've left our son there and brought his son here Now she'll never say anything, Shankar What! -Her life went with her son You should've waited a bit Whatever I did.

You didn't understand a simple question I'll explain it to you by giving you an example It was a question of a berry Growing up into a fat plum! Ask my heart, what you possess Not just my heart but everybody and anybody The way you stretch and lift up your arms Let alone Man, but even Gods go crazy Don't be scared. Try to understand, Madam This is a gift of God. A blessing from the Maker Let no evil eye be cast upon it These are fruits of holy offering, flowers from a temple The branch..

Aunty? -Come and wash your hands I'm ravenous! Pronto, okay? Get lost! You're a Don now. Go and eat in a hotel You'll get it free now! But I won't get such love there. And while I eat..

I don't have time for such petty things. Just sign this Are you connected to your father by just this? Signatures, wealth.. Who's not fond of money, Dad? Everybody loves money. Why do you hate it so? Why don't you love it? Good, I don't. Else I too would've become a darn fiddler! There are other ways to make money in this world I'm not keen to become an eunuch to sing and dance! Why don't you bestow your musical wealth to Nina.. Who's an orphan now. If you want someone else.. Get him here too. There are plenty on the streets! Ranjit! -Uncle, let him be.

But whatever he is.. he's my Dad What can I do, sir? A father's a father You're a strange boy. Very strange I know it's your duty to obey your father. But.. It's your bigger duty to come to know yourself You have a soul of an artist in you.

Have you come on your senses, or not? Ranjit.. ..be grateful to that father because of whom you were spared From today I don't have it. I've given it all to the poor I know how to extract it! Truth is very powerful, Ranjit. Let alone a knife.. You bloody rogue.. Hey girl! Where are you going? -Let go! You dare throw me out Call your master -Let her come in Happy now? Make people promise and take vows, eh? So that he gets beaten up and loses his bearings If your guards armed with sticks attack him, he'll thrash them But there's nobody to save him. -Whom are you talking about? Dharam, who else? Had he not given you his word.. Would he have kept quiet and got beaten like a coward? But by getting him beaten up you've wounded the whole slum You're responsible for it. You! He's lying unconscious Come. He's lying here. See what you've done to him Dharam.. -Mr. Phono Take a good look He's just wounded this time.

I won't listen to you Want to go to the police? Go! Launch a complaint There's no proof against my crime. And I won't give Dharam to you Had I been a hoodlum too, I'd have taken Dharam forcefully But you've more right over him. Shankar, think Live up to your name.

I wouldn't have had to come at your door today and beg You meant something else and I took it entirely differently Sorry sir. Tell me again. What's the matter? You've stopped Dharam from performing on stage. Don't do this You'll get many knife-wielding boys.. ..but I won't find an artist like him No. Dharam will do what I tell him to. Then train your son Ranjit too. I'm very sure he's.. A better artist than Dharam -Artist's are not made, but born Then what kind of an artist are you? Beat him and train him Animals can be trained that way, not man You can't beat Dharam and make him a hoodlum Dharam will not work with you. Do you hear me? Don't shout Go ahead and spoil your son.

Whom you beat up thinking he was Dharam's dad J K! What nonsense! Shankar! Remember that night when you snatched your kid from my arms.. And ran off with me in hot pursuit When you came out of the hospital however.. I know everything. -What do you know? That you exchanged your son with that of Mr Ashok's You deceived me. But by keeping silent.. I've deceived you in a bigger way today The boy.. I'll have your blood! Ranjit, he's lying! -It's the truth A son cannot kill his own father.. .. but he can kill someone else's father You'll kill Mr Ashok. -No I won't kill my father You won't? Then I'll kill you. -No..!

Even hung. -No.. I'll have to separate from you even if I got you, Mr Phono We've been separated for years as father and son.. So why not a few more? No son. What one doesn't know doesn't really hurt But when I know you are my son, how can I live away from you? Maybe I'm living to be united with you. Come and hug me, son Please, son Hug me just once.

From your son Ranjit, sir. -You are so innocent Shankar Still covering up for your son's crimes I've reared him like my own. But you.. What wrong has he done to you? -It's not like that, sir Dharam's not your son. Those woman lied to you Look..look at this My blood colour isn't different from Dharam's blood colour You want to spill his blood? Then spill mine and quench your thirst Don't separate us, please.
