Sonu Nigam or Shreya Ghosal for this pre-nuptial bash? Instead this unknown bloke What was his name? Some random John Cliff Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal are undoubtedly great singers, sir But they are too familiar for the crowd That's why I finalized John Cliff And you know what? He's a pure Malayali He left for Jamaica when he was 20 totally hooked on to Bob Marley's songs Globe-trotter and a vagabond musician Now he's back in India after 30 years This is his 1st program for our sake after his return Trust me, sir - John Cliff is going to rock the night. A fusion of reggae and Indian music That too with Malayalam lyrics That's what he has promised Let it be whatever fusion but not end up in confusion! You take care of everything - Okay sir, will do My daughter's father-in-law may be a billionaire NRI But he remains in his heart a common villager He hinted we give him today the promised 1 billion in cash Take the cash bundles Leave it in our suite Ladies and gentlemen May I have your attention please? Let's welcome on stage the great vagabond musician John Cliff His first ever 'live' performance in India You guys have a rocking time Hey!

No - Please Bhai ji, everything went smooth just as you planned Tom Kurien did not file a case Dowry is a criminal offence No source for the cash And scandal hushed up Maria...? She is in deep trouble He thinks she is the kingpin behind this robbery So her chapter is closed Beyond a few multimedia presentations and 14 YouTube links, being ignorant... ...about the history of John Cliff is Maria's mistake Let her pay for it Javed, 100 million Your share is in this bag Thank you, Bhai ji You are the only one to pay so promptly just for information Are you feeling guilty for accepting 'gawking wages'? It's alright There are different meanings One of it is to be paid for being a mere spectator But I did something without your permission Don't be angry with me It's a great opportunity And like nothing we've ever done before That's how huge it is And I couldn't resist the bait Shall I ask him in? Bhai ji, this is- Hi I am Nikhil Atharva But you can call me Niki You can call me anything I have many names Many faces Interesting I have heard lots about you from Javed I'm impressed But I am not Javed, tell him why I am here. Didn't you always say you want to end everything with a final deal? This is it. This is Adityapuram palace in Kerala Here occurred bloodshed over wealth and land issues long ago And the palace treasury was sealed A rare treasure trove of gold ornaments and precious stones Worth many billions The heirs are Ravindra Varma's sons Vasudeva and Srikrishna And Mahendra Varma's children Shekara and Rajashekaran Vasudeva Varma's sons are Trivikrama and Pratap And Srikrishna Varma's daughter is Damini Shekara Varma's only son is Sudhakar Rajashekar's daughters are Rukmini and Gowri These people are rich, influential and tough When the time came to open the treasury totally unexpected development- Stop! Wait before you look up an auspicious day to open the royal treasury Mr Lawyer, I have got a stay order from the court Stay order? Why? The royal family can't claim the wealth in the treasury It belongs to the public is my contention Treasure amassed from taxes, coercion, harassment, looting in wars is not ours It is not right for us 'common people' to share it within our family only Let the court decide After that we can open the treasury Rajashekar, don't you bring in your communism here We've been waiting to claim this wealth all these years Now don't provoke us with such unnecessary objections I am well aware The sword you struck my brother with, is still safe in the armory like a souvenir! If you have dubious intentions better delete them once for all I am not Shekara Varma Ahimsa blood doesn't flow in my veins Like a comrade once said... ... I'm a communist with a strong heart who can return any number of blows Don't you dare threaten me! You are going against the word of honor given by our father We differ in our beliefs and ideals Forgive me, brother The stay order from the court is still in effect And the treasure is in the cellar You will steal it How and when...? That is your call And the terms between us Out of the total loot, In cash I trade only with God 50 for me, 50 for Him! Since I am my own God His share is also mine Please understand There is a 3rd party involved Unknown entity Come on Be reasonable What is your part then? I am a humble trader I'll sell anything for anyone I don't bargain with street vendors My price is 5 billion No discounts No additions Nor percentages 2500 million to be paid in 2 days Balance at the end of the mission and when assets change hands How can I trust you? You asked for it Impossible Simply impossible What if you fail? What if I fail? Javed, tell him, Lord of Death is never questioned about his life span! He means business Let's do this Sajan? Hey! Sajan Who the heck? Sorry, sir Why are you here, sir? Good question... to ask why I am in my own office? Goodness! Your office? Then why am I here? Dude, I sent word for you Numbskull! Come inside I expect minimum decorum when you come to meet me Look at yourself Shabby and untidy and reeking of cheap rum With the pittance I earn will I buy scotch whiskey?! What are you muttering to yourself? Nothing, sir Superintendent of Police has reported you slink away after signing in the register So that rascal has got me into trouble If you have any opinion say it aloud... don't swear No use at all making me sit there in the name of computerization The only 'window' I know is the one you see there Then I am going to shift you Where to? Oh! Gandhi? They have decided to open the Adityapuram palace cellar They claim the coffers are overflowing The royal heirs with divided opinion have become sworn enemies As much enmity to each other as the years they haven't met You know the ex-MLA Rajashekaran Varma? He is one of the legal heirs He has filed a case asking the Govt to take over the wealth Dog in the manger! This is the problem with communists Won't eat nor allow us to eat They are to blame for all my troubles You listen to me first We got this report from the junior office Since this has reached the media a robbery of unexpected nature is likely Your presence is essential at the palace On the sly surveillance I agree, sir I won't allow anyone to steal that treasure I will put him behind bars 'I must fix a deal with that fraud' 'And I must demand some percent of the loot' 'I can then resign from this petty post and then it is celebration time' We were waiting for you All of you must be here to take some decisions regarding the case Mr Lawyer, explain everything King Rajashekaran stands alone opposed by the rest of the family Don't address me like royalty You can call me by name The court will come to a decision only after hearing both sides We can also ask the Govt's opinion Treasures in the cellar must remain in 'as is where is' basis with high security But there is a hitch No one has been able to provide a list of the treasures in the cellar We have an approximate idea of its value only So we must assess the value of items by a mediator acceptable to both sides This must be submitted in court within three weeks Mr A S Shivaram, a private consultant in Jaipur and he is a Malayali There are very few qualified in assessing such precious artifacts I don't know him personally But he was suggested by a reliable, close friend If all of you agree we can proceed We need to think over it - Not necessary We can go along with uncle's suggestion Let Shivaram assess the treasure She knows what she is talking, brother We agree Make arrangements for him to come I am Damini, daughter of Srikrishna Varma What are you doing now, my dear? - Property development in Mumbai Your husband? I haven't fallen into that trap as yet Can the court be informed about Shivaram? Please inform me also About everything I am Sajan Intelligence DySP Varma sir? How are things with you? Ages since we met, right? We are old friends I've understood the issues here During the evaluation I will also be inside the cellar We didn't ask for security So who invited you here? What the heck! There are only 2 uninvited guests One is death and the other is police We were warned of a possible robbery My presence is just a precaution Ever since the media hyped about the wealth in our treasury... ...we arranged our own security We have assigned Bluefox India's topmost security to protect us So your service isn't needed here May I speak, father? Yes Good to have additional police surveillance When Govt offers a service why should we avoid it? What do you say, Rajashekara? I agree Okay, Mr Sajan You can go ahead We will co-operate Varma sir 1 minute We can't renew old friendship in front of others, right? There isn't anything to renew I don't forget easily Also I've heard many stories about you If you reveal anything in a drunken stupor... ... I'll simply kill and bury you Varma sir, don't worry What is between us will remain a secret No one will ever know anything How can you stop now? Why this sudden decision? I'm really bored That's why If you don't enjoy what you do you must stop doing it I am glad, end of my career will be in Kerala To end where it all began It is about 15 years since I've stepped into Kerala What about you guys? Is that important? Don't have a long face Listen, Abbas You've been with me for 7 years After this mission you go your way I want to be with you always No, Abbas I've always been a loner Hereafter totally by myself There is nothing personal among us Don't carry any emotional baggage Priya, you are secure after the last deal So... you aren't needed in this Yeah, I'm safe Life has been a fairy tale after meeting you But I need sleeping pills if I want to sleep In your language 'my emotional baggage' Guilt Hey... no Haven't you heard? No one owns anything in this world Anyone can take anything even if it belongs to another How can it be called looting or robbery? You must never feel guilty I too want to be a part of this last lap of your journey You don't have to pay me I just want to be with you in your last outing Free service I'm not for it Love, obligation and gratitude Not at all necessary Everything is as usual We are equals and we go equal We go equal But you are first among equals Where is the newspaper? Hello? Who are you? Hey... hello? Good morning - Who are you? Me? - Then me, huh? The one you've been waiting for? Me? - Yes Oh! Then you can go to the backyard You'll find the cowshed there Cowshed? Yes Veterinary hospital head said he would send someone to inseminate the cows Gawd! You misunderstood me I haven't come to make the cows or anyone else here pregnant! It's a policy I stick to! Who is it, Saraswathi? I can't place you I am Shivaram from Hoard Consultancy Jaipur I was asked to assess the palace treasures... ...by your lawyer and give a report to the court Are you Mr Shivaram? Yes What are you doing? Don't move - You are taken Indeed a surprise, Mr Shivaram I was not informed of your arrival I was in Tanjore So I took a train I reached early morning I settled down in the portico not to disturb you so early Good, now you can freshen up After breakfast we can go to the palace Your accommodation has been arranged there My dear, open the room on top for Shivaram Ensure the bathrooms have fresh towels Okay, you can go up Go inside Anything else for you? A cup of black coffee if it's not a botheration for you? Not at all You heard him, dear? Shivaram Excuse me I was just simply looking at the palace Why do you need binoculars for that? Aren't you going there anyway? Looking from far and near are 2 different views altogether Some things have to be seen from far and some nearby And some must be first seen from afar and then near Coffee Some things must never be seen! Good coffee That always makes my day Towel Soap? Thank you Mohanam is beautiful What? Most beautiful among all ragas is Mohanam Your prelude this morning was awesome So you weren't asleep Just pretending Why would I pretend? I was really asleep Actually there is a state between sleep and wakefulness That was when Mohanam nudged me That was a great wake up call Oh! Let me shower Something is amiss Why this sudden visit from all of you? Come inside No need! We have not come to socialize Father, haven't you harassed us enough? You squandered wealth intended for our family to your political party And now when we may get something substantial, you've filed a lawsuit Assets of the palace is public property, eh?! Aren't you ashamed? I do feel ashamed Not for the lawsuit But for giving birth to 2 children like you Before matters turn complicated we want a last round of discussion Then you don't have to waste your time Don't you understand? I don't know how to ask you to get out in a more civil manner Dad, phone Who is it, my dear? - From the palace Ask them to call later I'll ask dad to call you Dad?! Are you shameless? Moment you stepped in here we lost our father and home One day we will settle all scores If not today, tomorrow Sister, such dialogs are obsolete Just stare and turn around to walk away is today's style And a music score in support too Come Even though I joked I am upset, dad Isn't it true what they said? Problems began only after I came? Everything turned right only after your arrival Really? Really Come My children- Shall we have breakfast? Sure My dear, will you lay the table? Come, Shivaram We got a mail from Bluefox asking for more security guards I was replying- Greetings, uncle My older brother Shekara Varma Greetings He heads our royal family now Brother, he is Shivaram Royalty doesn't count I'm just another citizen Mr Shivaram, I heard you're a Malayali? Which part of Kerala are you from? - Sasthamkotta But I have no one there now I'm advocate Idiculla When can we start evaluation? Tomorrow My 2 colleagues will come now Our machines have to be set up Very sorry, Mr Shivaram Only you are allowed to enter the treasury Your assistants will have to wait outside Why? Only Mr Shivaram's name is recorded in the court Other than Shivaram, during evaluation those allowed inside can only be... ...heirs, court officials, lawyer Idiculla and me Nonsense! We'll get permission for his assistants too No need Their main job is... ...to assist with data and software They need not come in How many days are required to finish this job? Depends on the quantity to be assessed I haven't seen the properties as yet Let me see Then I can tell you the number of days I need Okay, see you Good morning, Bhai ji Hi Bhai ji So everything is as planned Under no circumstance should you leave the caravan, Abbas Unless and until I tell you Sure The person watching us now is DySP Sajan A troublemaker He's intelligent and absolutely corrupt You know brains and corruption is a deadly combination Deal with him carefully So catch you later - Fine Is your room comfortable? Yes If you need anything don't hesitate to ask I don't want anything I'm fine When your name was suggested by my uncle, none of us opposed him We only expect you to be fair We looked up your firm on the net and we were convinced My job is to only evaluate How does 'unfair' come into it? Apart from evaluation we expect unconditional co-operation from you You will come to know by and by Unless I know what exactly you want from me, I find it difficult to reply There may be families still living engulfed in nostalgia of royal life But we are different We are businessmen playing with millions in the market And we always mean business I am a professional I don't do business There is always a 1st time, right? A day you can begin for the first time?! Sure... like a day when everything will end too Haven't you heard? The doomsday You are a tough nut We are impressed We will let you know what we want next time we meet You can then give us a solid hand shake Let's see Hi! I'm Damini Varma I know Your salt and pepper 'look' is very hot Really? - Yes You have the attitude of a seasoned player You are a huge turn on Nowadays I have lost interest A kind of disinterested indifference Anyway, thank you for your enticing words The Goddess is appeased Okay Heirs can hand over the keys to the court official I can help him Okay Not necessary It's not time for evaluation as yet He's only helping to unlock the door No need It isn't the evaluator's job Sajan You are here to ensure things go smoothly Not interfere in what Shivaram does Please go ahead, Shivaram No one must enter now This place has to be purified And the king must light a lamp for the Goddess Now that I have cleansed the deity Your Highness can light the lamp This chest contains the documents prepared... ...before the treasury was locked, along with its keys The rituals are over, right? The priest can step out Now this is a work place I will tell you what to do As specified before only 4 people can enter Before the evaluation begins some precautions must be taken All of you must co operate I am in charge here This place should never be in darkness even for a moment We need light even if the generator fails Are you ready, Shivaram? Tools are okay but not the camera Sir, no photography Nothing can be photographed Especially items you examine Strictly for security reasons Please proceed, sir I'm about to begin my work You can categorize the items And prepare your list accordingly From now on I am in charge I won't take orders from anyone Is that clear? Okay Emerald from ancient Persia Weighs 4.1 gm Belongs to the period between 1750 and 1800 Let us count This is one of the most risky missions I've ever attempted There are 5 factors making this almost a 'mission impossible' The position of the treasury Under the hawk eyes of Bluefox state of the art security machines Proximity of Sajan a shrewd police officer And the presence of other members always Huge quantity of my targeted objects I have a precise plan But no alternative moves in any of my plans There is no place for Lady Luck or unexpected turn of events This final game is actually very thrilling I am excited I have few more things to share Wait for me in the van Start duplicating these keys These are the detailed sketches of some major palaces of Kerala You must analyze them They also house similar treasuries Work on them in detail Yes, Bhai ji Wi-Fi transmissions are active, aren't they? Yes, Bhai ji Data will start pouring in from tomorrow Keep going, guys Greetings! A visitor to see you from Coimbatore Whose has asked you to murder me? A big shot Business secrets should not be revealed Shall I finish my work? You appeared like God from shards of wood Who are you, man? A lion or Lord Narasimha? Why did you come here? Simply... to play I've repeated countless times this action of removing my watch So let it remain this time I was expecting this ever since I filed the case Who do you think was behind this attack? Could be anyone Most probably my own children! What's the point of sulking like this? Is this the 1st time I've been attacked? But I'm amazed how you came at that precise moment to save me I stopped work early today Felt tired, so I just went out for a drive And reached at the exact time when Varma sir was attacked A very strange coincidence That is called luck We also call it planning She is your daughter, hmm? Go inside, my dear You seem to be an expert in martial arts also, eh? People say I am expert in all kinds of arts, Sajan sir Shall I take leave? I don't want to be formal and thank you Not at all necessary Thanks But what happened was not unexpected There is a reason Actually who are you? It's a feeling I can't shrug ever since I met you You are not upfront There is something dubious Tell me Who are you? Me? Don't tell anyone I am Shivaram I did not ask your name Are you... ...are you a fraud? May be I'm a fraud Hi boss We've landed He insists on meeting you ever since he landed here So I had to bring them here Look who I have brought along with me Hello I am Shivaram From Hoard consultancy, Jaipur So am I Who are these new avatars? 2 men in 1 place with same identity It's weird What do you say in Malayalam? It isn't good at all Yes, not good at all But for whom is the question! 'What I thought was 1, now appears as 2 My sorrow is inexplicable knowing so' Bhai ji, chill Let's talk Yeah, let's talk So this Shivaram is actually a fraud Nikhil's arrival with that man... ... Bhai ji, be careful I had told him I wanted to communicate certain things But as you said his arrival was a bit dramatic Getting Shivaram on his side is a threat to you, Bhai ji If we get him into trouble he will get back at us That is why he has brought Shivaram here He coolly pitched in with them knowing the stakes are high If he thinks all this will threaten me his brain must be sadly wanting! Anyway let us meet him Good to see you, Bhai ji Very good to see you I'll also call you 'Bhai ji' like everybody else Because none of us even know your name When he said you wanted to discuss something with me... ... I just thought l'll fly down and meet you That's good But your show of getting him here to threaten me was a dirty move Bhai ji- Well, you can't be anything else but dirty Bhai ji, don't misunderstand Bittu's gang you had arranged in Jaipur to hold him in custody wasn't reliable That's why we hauled him here But this pig now wants a share in our deal Come Don't try to soft pedal this issue with your most pitiful brains, Javed He is a precaution So I don't double cross you But whatever the precaution... ...if I make up my mind, you had it from me Ask him not to irritate me Bhai ji Give it to him See this You have to replicate all these materials I know he has the necessary man-power and machinery for it Diamonds, pearls, emeralds and other precious stones Collect their duplicates Try the African market I have specified the quantity Wrap them in red velvet Make arrangements to bring the whole lot in 12 boxes Within 20 days It is short notice But it has to be done Tough task But this, I can do it Good If everything goes as planned... ...within 21 days, treasure will be lost forever Till then...! He is dangerous But I am fit Hire more workers if you want But before the rains concreting must be done You carry on I'll be back Come, Shivaram How is your arm, sir? That can be ignored If it's no trouble you can drop the 'sir' and call me comrade It's a joy to hear it from people who are sincere and affectionate But within our party... ...sworn enemies call each other comrade This school...? A school for the kids here with least expense and best of education When this desire was born I sold everything to start it Do you see? Work is incomplete There is a lot to be done I need lots of money I don't have enough resources in my hands You also know by now Saraswathi is not my daughter I brought her home as an orphan 15 years back But today I prefer to say I have only one daughter Even if I die she'll live here with dignity She must help others to live progressively That's how the idea for a school was born She runs the school now I'm not afraid of hurdles But the attack that day has really shaken me up I'm worried I may not be able to complete my responsibilities That won't happen, comrade I just felt like talking to you That's why I asked you to come How many days more to complete evaluation? At the most 10 days Did you hear? Our family trust has decided to use the treasure to build a heritage resort Potential foreign investors have been invited to a party and musical night... ...by our new generation I heard about it As the saying goes... ...fools rush in where angels fear to tread "Protect me permanently Oh lotus-eyed deity Parvati" "Goddess Shakthi Embrace me" "Oh lotus eyed deity, envelop me Your beauty is ethereal for eternity" "Effortless effulgence" "Protective Goddess Perfectly peerless" "Epitome of beauty matchless" "Oh Goddess lotus eyed Beauty unrivalled far and wide" "Provide me sanctuary" "Your divine words of honey" "Auspicious one! Your words honeyed Dispeller of sins of the good hearted" What? "Oh lotus eyed Shakthi, shield me Your beauty is beatific superlatively" "Protect me, Goddess Parvati" This is a song sung often by someone I loved very much Let this remain a secret between us Give this to your dad I had borrowed it Tonight we begin These spots that I have marked show the position of security guards Between these 2 spots here is a hub of the CCTV Priya, you must ensure this hub is jammed But control room server usually has a software that checks It checks every 30 minutes So we get exactly half an hour for the operation That's fine You jam the CC TV circuit at sharp 1'o clock You will help me break in And I'll join you back at sharp 1:30 But Bhai ji, inside the cellar what's the plan of action? Sketches of the cellars in 4 major palaces of Kerala All 4 have 1 common factor A secret door which is not obvious at first sight A secret door leading to the outside world through a tunnel In case of wars or any other emergency... ...stuff from the treasury were shifted through this tunnel Won't some family member or at least Shekara Varma know of its existence? I feel he may not know When the treasury was locked up long ago the king definitely would have known But since there was bloodshed he would not have revealed... ...this secret to the next generation A precaution he took to ensure no one had access to the treasury Then how do we find that secret door? It takes time And plenty of luck Luck doesn't count Logic is what matters Architecture from the 16th century onwards... ...shows every door has at least one bit of metal It's a general theory If this metal scanner is used inside the treasury walls... ...we get the required result Guess I can find the door '3 hours before the mission' So you think there could be a possible robbery here Sir, do you know what is a good policeman's strong point? Get feeling I get the feeling Something is about to happen here The air around here has all signs of that build up Do you suspect anyone? Suspicion! The outside world knows about this treasury only now Thanks to the blown up hype given by our media This may seem a golden opportunity for a big time gang or thief There is another possibility 4 of you are entitled to this treasure Then Rajashekaran filed the case Now each one of you may want to grab the entire wealth for yourself So may be it is an elaborate scheming? Only Rajashekaran is responsible for all this Isn't that why there was an attempt on his life? Don't try to blow it out of proportion If it comes to a stage where we have to bump him off... ...we are prepared to do that also Hey! Leave him alone He has suffered a lot in life None of you know him But I do What do you know? Forget it! I won't tell It's a secret between us Fine, don't tell Let him drink himself to death Let's go You plan to get me drunk daily, eh? Oh! Come on Tell me What is that secret? What's the status? I'm on it - Okay I'm done So far I have never asked You for anything I am not asking You anything now either I just want You to ensure these boxes reach their destination I just thought I will tell you So shall I start my work? Now this is a secret between us A secret we share along with 1 more person Abbas, I am at the moment 1.5 km away from the palace But the tunnel is just 1/2 km long Okay, Bhai ji He has come It's so delicious Didn't you go saying 'no more discussions'? Changed your mind? We are not here to discuss anything Just to give you a piece of information You must withdraw the case you have filed in court If I don't? Then we will counter file 15 years ago, Saraswathi, who was 12 years then... ...was molested by 3 men A gang rape You were the MLA then You bribed Sajan who was the chief inspector then And the case was closed From that day onwards you brought her here For hiding and destroying evidence For bribing a policeman And for denying justice to her we will file a case against you We will demand to have her molesters tracked The media will be overjoyed Father and daughter will be in the limelight Won't you prefer to avoid all this? We have planned a meeting for the investors at the palace tomorrow You have time till then to withdraw your case Otherwise we'll just do it You...! - Let me tell you Don't be dishonest You got drunk and blabbered Don't, comrade It was a mistake Forgive me Do you know what he did to me? Rajashekara! Brother, do you know what my children came and told me? Don't worry I will talk to them But you could have confided in me at least at some point I could not Forgive me It was about 15 years ago Actually speaking April 12th 1999 I was an MLA I was returning from a meeting at 2:00 a. m Chief Inspector Sajan called me I went to Dr Sebastian's clinic What is it, Sajan? I chased a fellow who was suspected in a robbery I missed him But on my way back Among the thick bushes- We received a complaint from the orphanage About a missing child A 13 year old girl who was attending vacation classes The name slip showed it was the same girl Saraswathi What did you say her name was? Saraswathi I went to her school recently I even presented a prize to her She's a bright girl Yes sir, I asked her before she lost consciousness But she did not remember anything There were 3 of them They abducted her when she was walking down the road It's terrible My dear? Saraswathi Don't hurt me, please Come here Can you catch those miscreants? I can try, sir We have no clues They might even have fled from our state Anyway try to find them Let us wait before we file a case 'I showered tender loving care on that orphan' 'I visited her everyday' 'When there was no hope of finding the culprits... ' '... I said there was no need to file a case' 'The doctor and Sajan agreed and cooperated' 'I brought her to my house and raised her as my own daughter' To let her be the cynosure of media's eyes and talk of the town... ... I was not prepared A case that may prolong for years causing her to lose her youth I gave her courage to live I convinced her that nothing had happened Sajan gave his word of honor never to reveal this That son of a mongrel broke his promise My own children threatened me today If I did not withdraw the treasure-case... ...they'd go to court and revive this rape case They have given me time till the investors meet tomorrow And my Saraswathi...! She is silent now Not even crying Didn't I warn you I may fall any day? Comrade...! Hey! Welcome Stage is all set Shall we start by 8:00 p. m? - Even 8.30 is fine, chill I remember you 3 years ago in Goa New year's eve It was you You look different now Yeah! It was me Hey man! After the program that day I searched all over for you He's a great singer In Goa he barged into my program and sang It was mind blowing It was awesome Why are you here? I am on a job And you are Mr...?

Great Looking forward to the show Cool, see you on stage Gopi, come this way I'll arrange to get your luggage from the car This is Shivaram He's the one who evaluates the collection They are interested in trade aspects of this collection So the get-together today is a business party of potential buyers? It is not something related to your heritage resort project You are sharp and spot on I know all of you are busy with your guests for today's event I came here to tell you something The time allotted to my dad ends this evening I came to tell you our decision Either suicide or insanity One of this would have been my fate It was my dad who rescued me from that hell A right to live like everyone else And to live with dignity He gave me confidence and courage to live and help people You can file a court case And revive the old rape case Make me a scapegoat I will face it coolly As for the case filed by my dad regarding the treasure in the cellar There is absolutely no question of withdrawing it I won't let my dad get defeated I came just to tell you this A good shower cleansed my body that was defiled But is there any holy river that can ever cleanse your corrupt minds? Have you ever thought about it? You heard what she said? This is my daughter My one and only daughter Come My child! No one will file any case in any court I won't allow anyone to tarnish your reputation I regret what happened Shivaram sir But I can make up for it I was following a lead regarding the attack on Varma sir A lone investigation without involving anyone else I found him finally I will meet him tonight I have many suspicions Don't deal with this alone It is dangerous Don't worry, Shivaram sir I have my methods I even doubted you Not anymore All clear I will be able to give a piece of good news to Varma sir tomorrow When this place is busy partying, I'll execute a crucial operation '3 hours before the function' Bhai ji Javed had called Duplicates are ready as per your instructions 12 boxes will arrive in a van tonight Tonight at 12:30 they will hand over... ...the consignment at the spot we specify Okay Modifications in the tunnel have been done as per your instructions Now it is lit up also We must complete the mission tonight Right, Bhai ji? Yes Bhai ji, are you upset about something? The incident about that girl Priya, didn't I always say 'no emotional baggage'? But in life, a force called fate traps us Some coincidences sweep you away in their tide Do you know how many years since I visited Kerala? You've told us Yes 15 years ago I robbed a bank along the borders of Tamil Nadu I was alone Police somehow traced and followed me Help...! Please help Save me Let me go The scene I witnessed that day in the rear view mirror... ...till date has not been erased from my mind I have had many a sleepless night Till now I never realized... ...the reason for my anguish was the scene I witnessed long ago Now it is my emotional baggage She may not have seen my face on that dark night I remain in darkness even today A different face in each darkness Bhai ji, are we backing out? No! A job is always a job "Lord... Almighty! Strummed on sarod strings of my mind" "Blessing me ambrosial harmony" "Amidst the moon, stars bring to me bouquets of 7 notes of melody" "In enchantment hours awakened Like a leaf he floats on waves forsaken" "Through paths marked by woeful shadow share this journey through the day's glow" "Rhythm of heartbeat to raga Nilambari Notes you shared long ago with me" "Kisses of moonlight on those lips tiny Mother gave me milk tasting like honey" "Wandering bird rests in the heart's atrium when unfirm paths unfold in calm delirium" "Many faces, smiles, laughter recalled on leaves, waves, hills, withheld walled" "Between the paths of day and night when mind traversed; a cloud bows bright" "Like time bestows wisdom to the teacher Be filled to the brim, oh Mother!" "On wings of destiny I continue my journey" "Knowledge springs from paths bridged Like a river bubbling with k indness hinged" "The Omnipotent one" "The Omnipresent one" "The Omniscient one!" "Lord... Almighty! Strummed on sarod strings of my mind" "Blessing me ambrosial harmony" "Amidst the moon, stars bring to me bouquets of 7 notes of melody" "In enchantment hours awakened Like a leaf he floats on waves forsaken" "Through paths marked by woeful shadow share this journey through the sun's halo" '2 hours after the function' We will complete our plan in 1 hour You must transport the boxes you brought into the tunnel And exchange the boxes from the treasury into the van Okay, fine You have planned it Now you must execute it alone Bhai ji, if you don't mind let Abbas remain with us here Okay Frisk him Hey! What the hell?! I don't think you need this gun any more Javed, I have kept the GPS chip inside the boxes Just to make sure it reaches its destination So that he can't double cross us See, the boxes are moving Perfect See this Yes, Javed He has done it He has kept the same boxes we delivered inside the cellar I told you He never plays dirty You pay him He'll get the job done Excellent I feel a special bond with you, Mother which I never felt towards any other God Thank you for everything I'll take leave, see you Great, Bhai ji There is a small change in the plan Our final transaction will be in Jaipur And I will hand over the money to you there Okay Allow Abbas to accompany us You also need to know we won't cheat you He is your guarantee Bhai ji, don't misunderstand All will end well Okay You can take him Our final meeting shall be at Jaipur Okay, fine Detailed report of the evaluation of the assets is in here These are the copies for the heirs So my job is over It is all God's grace Thank you Shivaram Let's go See you Get the copy of the report from the lawyer To certain people we get too close too soon You are a great friend A wonderful human being You must visit us again We must have a blast with music and booze Ever since my daughter told me about your music- I will come DySP Sajan was murdered last night His body was found on the hillside a kilometer away from the palace We got an anonymous call suggesting a clash between you two Sir, you must come with us We will have to talk Bhai It has happened as I expected I'm going to Jaipur You go back to Delhi Let me also come, Bhai ji No! Only Abbas and I will play this one last game You don't worry He will come back to you, safe and sound Dad...? I heard dad has been arrested Do you know why? Greetings, Bhai ji It was a long journey, eh? Oh yeah, it was a long journey And unfortunately your journey ends here You words were prophetic It's your last game in the real sense of the word From the time you reached the palace on this mission... ... I always had my suspicions about you Because seeing all this treasure anyone will lose their mind Those 12 boxes in the van can tempt anyone But I did tell Nikki Bhai ji will never double cross But we? We are bastards The deal is called off And I am not going to pay you anything Javed claims you have a soft corner for him So I have put a price on him Bhai ji, I spoke to Nikki and we worked out a formula Rs 2500 million that Nikki paid you? Give it back to him and we'll set this dude free And we can part as friends We'll part as friends Good There are some more people yet to arrive on this scene The unknown entity he had once told me 'There is a third party involved in this' 'Unknown entity' The silent partner in this game I didn't want to trouble you So I brought them here myself Take a look The stolen treasure will today be traded with an international diamond cartel For a mind blowing price I brought the senior and junior kings who were to be here for the final transaction Not me actually My man in Jaipur Hey Shivaram What are you saying? I don't understand anything You, Shekara Varma, who heads the Royal family... ...is not a simpleton Do you know who told me that you are... ...a cheat and a lowlife? Mother Goddess The Mother who guards the cellar treasures Bullet, decades old embedded on the wall of the cellar... ...showed me how the crystal on the crown of the Goddess burst 'Now this is a secret between us' 'A secret we share along with 1 more person' I also got a glimpse of the good Shekara Varma's evil side 'The king knew your deceitful nature which no one else knew' 'With astrological assistance, his decision to close... ' '...the cellar for 41 years was to punish you' 'Neither you nor Vasudeva Varma must enjoy this wealth in your youth' When your younger brother got a court stay order... ...you realized you lose the 1/4th wealth you would inherit You ganged up with him for a treasure heist The moment I realized... ...it was you and not him who hired me ... I was watching you Knowing if your brother is alive he would cause you problems... ...you attempted to murder him If he had died, Vasudeva Varma and Srikrishna Varma... ...will be the suspects They will begin to distrust each other By taking your brother's case forward, you will be the winner The opening of the treasury will again be postponed There will be more opportunities to break in You'd have even dealt with me directly Sajan had got a lead on the people hired for the murder He... Sudhakara Varma During the investors' party in the palace... ...invited Sajan out secretly It is already known you are behind all this Not heeding my warning, Sajan walked to his death Following my orders... ... Abbas recorded the visuals 'live' with his camera That CD must have reached the police department by speed post today You son of a- Son of a mongrel! Son...? Bhai ji It was my mistake I admit It was my mistake Forgive me, Bhai ji It was my mistake I am to blame Please... please forgive me It was him This fellow He brainwashed me to switch sides Let him pay for it I will stand by you to trade the treasure You can give me any cut Okay... fine Don't give me anything Javed! You proved your true nature Shut up... you scoundrel! Bhai ji please Okay When we confront each other... ...it is not a clash between good and evil Because we are all evil The question is who is dirtier And I guess I am the dirtiest! You I will make use of you You and junior king will deliver the 12 boxes... ...to the place I ask you to I will message you the address You can take the original evaluator He might come into use Thanks, Bhai ji To see you don't get nasty ideas let senior king remain with me Done, Bhai ji Thanks Then go Come on, come on In the games we play there is only one rule The worst always survives The night I reached, prepared to collect the treasure with Javed... ...for 5 minutes that van on the way waited for your vehicle My son! The royal treasure is back safe in its cellar Nikhil Atharva's boxes with GPS chips and duplicate jewels ...were exchanged for the original ones in the cellar If you asked me why I did it... ...redeeming a loan is my answer Even this mission which came in search of me was destiny And at the end of the day I have made huge money 2500 million for nothing But you? You are a loser You deserve a royal death You call the shot 'After a year' 'To all our special guests and those who kindly accepted our invitation' '...we express our heartfelt thanks' Your support and co operation is the strength of this institution The completion of this building was possible due to the huge sum... ...of a donor who wishes to remain anonymous Our heartfelt thanks to him for his generosity and affection Thanking you once again Jai Hind! Very happy Thank you, sir Okay Dad...? Shivaram...! All those whom we invited graced the function But we waited for the arrival of this particular uninvited guest Thanks for coming I thanked the anonymous donor who generously contributed Did you hear me? There is much more to thank him, isn't it? For rescuing me from the Sajan's case For safely entrusting the wealth to the Govt Don't praise and glorify my deeds I am a person without virtues I have no regrets for all I have done so far Neither have I confessed to anyone 16 years ago... ...one night when I heard ...the anguished pleas of a little girl crying for help ... I was not in a position to save her The face of that girl This face... ...remains like a burning ember within me My first and last confession Most people lead ordinary lives without committing too many mistakes But there are people who commit misdeeds... ...make amends with greater gestures of generosity History is always with them Can I ask you something? What is your actual name? Do you remember what you once asked me? Are you a fraud? You can call me Mr Fraud...! "Shimmering moonlight Dazzling desirous delight" "Clouds vapory in my heart's treasury" "On the shores when a tempest is on the warpath of unrest" "I shall rush ahead; no delays like a rain laden wind always" "To relieve my burden; in proximity Singing my love's verses of immortality" "Like a poem written but erased my life remains a secret encased" |
