200 years ago Bijapur Sultanate
was ruled by Raja Hari Man Singh
In those days the fear of ghosts and
spirits prevailed in the hearts of people
The most feared demon of all
was called Saamri
One day Raja Man Singh was traveling
with his daughter towards Bijapur...
...when his royal chariot broke down
How long will it take?
Only a little while, sire
- Where has Rupali gone?
- She was just here
Rupali, Rupali!
Princess!
What's she thinking of?
This is Saamri's land!
Don't just look at me!
Go and find her! Go!
Saamri!
Cut him down!
Kill him!
Find him, find him!
That demon came this way
Quickly!
This royal proclamation
of Mughal King Hari Man Singh...
...states that Saamri
using his satanic powers...
...has created terror
in the state of Bijapur
The accusation is that you unrobed
young married women...
...and violated their honor
You are accused that
to slake your satanic thirst...
...you mercilessly killed
young and innocent children...
...and sucked their blood
You have fallen so low
from the human level...
...that even Satan would shun you
To strengthen your evil powers
you opened graves...
...took out corpses...
...and...
...and ate them
O, King,
destroy this creature now!
No! Entomb him in the wall
King...
I believe that this monster
should be purged in pure fire...
...and thus be turned
forever into ashes
No, holy man
This demon's head
will be separated from his body
The body will be buried
in the ruins behind this temple
And his head...
...will remain under guard
in my palace, far from here
That way, his head and his body
will never be joined together
I beg you, my lord, guard the head
with this holy trident of Shiva
Thus will all this demon's powers
be rendered ineffective
Hari Man Singh...
...I curse you!
As long as my head and body
remain apart...
...all your female heirs
will die horribly in child birth
And the day my head and body
are joined again...
...will be the end of your dynasty!
And so Hari Man Singh cut off
the head of that demon...
...and kept it apart from the body
The body was buried in the ruins
behind Shankar's Palighat temple.
The demon's head was put
in a trunk fastened with chains
Raja Hari Singh secured that trunk
in the dungeon of his palace
God Shiva's holy trident
was put on top of the trunk
A wall was built across the door
of the dungeon...
...and the severed head
was hidden from the eyes of the world
A painting of Hari Man Singh
was hung on the door
And so the stories
of Saamri's evil faded...
...into the darkness of the dungeon
The river of time carried off
the main players
The faces of Sher Khan,
Rajguru Balbir Singh and all the rest...
...became lost
in the mists of time
The flame of Hari Singh's life
was extinguished
After him the reins of the state fell
to Prithipal Singh
and then in the course of time,
Raja Ajit Singh
After him, Thakur Ranbhir Singh
sat on the throne
The dusts of time settled
over the ancient palace...
...and it became forgotten about
The pulse of life left the palace area
and moved to the city
This is the last remaining heir
of Hari Man Singh - Ranbir Singh
A grand and important man,
even today
But the fear of Saamri still prevails
in his heart and mind
Sir, these papers need
your signature
Give me a pen
Have you paid the sawmills?
Brother, dear
Dayawanti,
has Suman left for college?
Really papa,
what kind of talk is that?
I've never done that
and I'm not going to start now
And that is why I have been
rushing home
I knew my little doll
would be waiting for me
You call me your little doll!
But see how tall I've grown!
Sire, the child has grown up
Grown up!
Papa what's the matter?
What are you thinking?
Nothing, my dear
I was just thinking...
aren't you getting late for college?
OK, papa. Bye papa
Bye, auntie
I know the sorrow
in your heart
If only I could share it
In this world, every father prays
for his children to grow up
But, me...
I'm one father who hopes never
to hear the sound of wedding bells
Because of that accursed palace!
So finally you come, your lordship!
And I've only been waiting
an hour
What are you staring at?
Just one close up
You're getting obsessed
about your close-ups!
Naughty boy! Let me go...
I don't blame you
I wouldn't mind some of that myself
Hey, dude!
You're cruising for a bruising
But why are you still
just taking pics?
What's your problem?
Her father
Doesn't he know about you two?
Not yet
So you're still only dreaming?
Get a move on, chum
Or you'll wake up
and find yourself alone in bed
Here's the dream girl
How's Sapna?
What are you gossiping about?
He was telling me
about his bed
Bed? I don't get it...
I'll explain later
Hey Anand, coming to the club
this evening?
Yes Anand,
and bring Sapna
- I don't know...
- Why not?
I'll have a show of my own to watch
I am already 45 minutes late
The first question will be:
Where've you been?
What were you doing?
Who with?
I'm young and lonely
You don't know how lost I am
Thousands fawn on me
but even so I'm lonely
Yes me, yes me
The moon and stars in my eyes
who knows who they call today?
Somebody please
read their signs
and come and bring me joy
and more
Become my...
oh, become my lover, lover
The business of the heart,
only the heart understands
What can you or I do about it?
What is a dream and what is the truth?
Who will know that here?
Live for the moment,
oh live for the moment, lover
Papa, I'm back
Sorry I'm late again
I met my old girlfriend Nikki
and she insisted I go back with her
And then her parents insisted
I stay for dinner
Papa, have you eaten?
Who is this boy?
It's Sanjay, papa
He's a really nice boy
- If you met him...
- You'll not see him again
Please meet him just once.
He's from a respectable family
Ranbir Singh's family blood
has not become so thin...
...that it can flow away
in the gutters
I knew it, Suman...
I knew that your father's money
would be a wall between us
Even so Sanjay, why won't you
meet Papa one day?
I'm sure if he met you,
all these problems would be solved
No, Suman
He'd just reject me
because I'm poor
So now I see how my own blood
wants to shame me
And how this man is now
my mortal enemy
You fool...
If you burn palace lamps
in a hovel...
...you won't get light,
you'll burn the hovel down
But if there's a fire,
the must be some light
Not for long
In a poor man's life,
even a brief light is worth much
Today's love is not love,
it's just the fever of youth
How much?
How much money do you want,
to leave my daughter alone?
Sorry, sir...
...true love
can't be bought and sold
You blacken
our good family name...
...and now you argue with me!
Teach him respect!
Let him go, papa.
Please!
Stay off my friend!
Come you bastard dogs,
where are you running off to?
We showed 'em
I don't understand
If Suman wants you,
what's his problem?
The problem's always been there,
and it always will be
I cannot ignore the heritage
of this family
But what about
your daughter's wishes?
This child's tears
are not something that I want...
...but that vagabond will take her
away from me forever
But I won't let that happen
I won't even let his shadow
fall on her again
Why can't you
make this girl understand, Dayawanti
Make her understand,
or I dread the consequences
Who... Who are you?
I am asking you, who are you...
...that has for centuries cast a shadow
of death on this family?
How much more blood must flow?
How many more will you kill?
How many more lives?
You can't kill her. You can't ever
take my child away from me
Papa what happened?
Nothing, just go back
to your room
After today
you will never meet Sanjay again
And if he tries to see you,
I will have him killed
Don't just stand there,
get out of here
Those gone days I remember.
Those stolen moments I recall
The ones I spent with you,
warm in your embrace
That smile of yours, your blushes,
the time of December, the wet cold
What happened to those days,
where did they all go?
Only the memories remain
Those talks I remember,
the nights I remember
Spent with you,
holding you close
Wrapping yourself around me,
lowering your eyelids
Still in my heart remains
the softness of your lips
Now you've started a fire
I wonder where you've gone.
Only the memories remain
Suman, I love you
Driver, let's go
Something is happening to me...
I don't want to die...!
Save me!
Please, save me...!
Come, Suman
I return your family's honor to you,
sir
If I wanted I could have made your
lamp
the light of my hut...
But I feared that this flame might have
burnt down your palace
I'm going
Wait!
You may as well take this gun...
...and shoot both her and me
What?
I am not upset about my defeat,
I am upset at your victory
Because you will run from her
once you know the truth
The truth?
What truth, papa?
It's... It's a secret
What kind of secret
One I can't reveal
But you must reveal it
No, I can't tell you!
I can't tell you...
This secret is a curse that has
cast the shadow of death on our family
What kind of curse is it,
to become a wall between our love?
You have to reveal it Papa,
my happiness depends on it
Please tell us
All right...
Alright, if you really want to know...
So be it
Do you see that palace?
That building is such a cursed stain
on our family...
...that we could not wash it away...
...even with our own blood
Every mother, every woman
connected with this building...
...on the birth of her first baby
becomes the immediate prey of death
Papa, this is just a superstition
It is not a superstition,
it's the truth
But, sir...
Can you really believe such things,
in this day and age?
Look...
I don't believe in things
that people tell me
But I've seen this
with my own eyes!
The day Suman was born...
...this curse...
took away her mother Bharti from us
Something is happening to me!
I don't want to die...!
What's wrong?
I don't know, sir...
- I can't understand...
- What's happened to Bharti?
Go and look!
What's wrong?
If, after knowing all this,
you don't leave Suman alone...
...then I know that you don't love her
but are her mortal enemy
So you walked out on her?
You loser
What'll she think of you now?
You don't understand Anand.
I really do love Suman
I can't live without her.
Do you hear me? I can't live without her
- But if you'd heard that story...
- It's nonsense...
Just a made up story
Suman...
What are you doing here?
Sanjay...
We must go to Bijapur
Yes, to the old temple
that's the root of all our problems
No, Suman...
It's better that you forget
all about me
For the sake of my love, I'm not
prepared to sacrifice your life
While I'm alive,
nothing will happen to Suman
I am here for you
And if it comes to it,
my life is yours
You'll come with us?
Not only me,
but Sapna as well
She'll be company
for Suman
- Does your father know...?
- No...
I didn't tell him...
But I left a letter for him
Brother...!
Terrible news...
- Suman is not in her room!
- What...?
But I found this letter there
Father, I cannot live
without Sanjay
If this family curse is the barrier
to our love...
...then we will return
only after destroying it
We are going to Bijapur
To the old palace
Suman
I still say you should go back, Anand.
This is our problem
Why risk your life for us?
You're asking for a thump,
my old mate
A friend is one who gives his own
life if need be
If there's a shadow on our family,
why should we allow it to fall on you?
It's no shadow...
It's in your father's mind,
now it's got into your head too
What's up?
What is it?
A flat
See mate,
you need me after all!
If this goes on...
...we might reach Bijapur
in the next life!
Just our luck
We're dead
Why's that?
I forgot the jack
I don't believe it!
Don't worry my king!
What do you think I'm here for?
You just deal with the tire,
and I'll be the jack
Ranbir Singh!
Now it's your daughter's time!
She will suffer the same fate
as your wife
No! you can't do that...!
Dayawanti!
Take it away
I'm afraid he's had
a heart attack
He needs a lot of rest
In his condition he can't make
the long trip to Bijapur
This temple looks pretty old
Indeed
I don't feel like driving any more.
Why don't we stay here?
Alright, Suman?
Yes Sanjay,
I agree with Anand
Besides, we're all dead tired
Don't seem to be any priests
in this temple
I'm not surprised
With 200 steps
to go up and down every day
Too much like hard work
Look, Anand, this is odd
What?
This Shiva has no trident
in his hand
Right!
With no priest around,
someone must have stolen it
Right mate, now we've met God,
lets go and meet the saint
What saint?
Saint Food!
I'm starving
Mice are doing a dance
in my stomach
Suman...!
What are you doing here?
Tell me!
What happened?
It was...
I saw...
What did you see?
I saw a corpse, Sanjay...
With no head...!
It was coming at me
Sanjay it wanted to kill me
You're talking crazy
Sanjay... I heard strange noises
Strange noises
A walking corpse,
and without a head too!
Babes, there's nothing here
You're tired and had a bad dream
Looks like a local...
He must know the old palace
- I'll be right back
- I'm coming
Excuse me...
Do you know the way to Bijapur?
The palace at Bijapur.
Thakur Man Singh's palace
Do you know the way, sir?
What happened?
Strange man
He was waving that axe
like he wanted to cut my throat!
Looks deserted to me
There must be a watchman about
- You two stay here
- OK
We'll be back
Watchman! Gardener!
Anyone here?
I just saw a light over there
- Where?
- Over there
Can't see anyone
Let's go
What is it?
There's someone by the car
Anand, who is she?
Who are you?
Say something
She is dumb
My mother...
Mangli
So who are you?
Where is the watchman?
I am Durjan,
the watchman of this place
Who are you?
We're from Bombay
She's Suman,
daughter of Ranbir Singh
We are honored
After many years, someone
from the family has returned
Come, come inside
This is the palace of her grandfather,
Raja Pratap Singh
This is her grandfather's picture
And this is her great grandfather,
Raja Ajit Singh...
This is all very fascinating...
But I really need sleep
I'm sleepy too
And here is Hari Man Singh,
your grandfather's, grandfather
What's up?
I feel drawn towards that painting...
Like he's trying to tell me something
Really?
Come
Come on, Suman
Have a good night?
Great fun
Lying on the royal bed
I dreamt royal dreams all night long
Me king of kings and Sapna
my queen of beauty
Suman! What is it?
You!
Why are you here?
Food!
It must be cooked
Oven must be lit
Durjan called me, so I came
What's wrong, boss?
Did you ask that man to come?
Why?
Without wood how will we cook?
And he brings wood
for the village
Don't ask him here again,
understand?
Let's go
What a beautiful lake!
What a lovely place!
And in such a place...
...instead of talking love,
the fool is working out!
Do you have to do that?
Take a break
Now stop it or I'm going
I'm coming, miss
So, what's up?
Nothing at all
If you come any closer...
...I might melt like candle wax
Until only the wick is left
You just don't understand
These days it's really important
to keep the body fit
Always thinking of your body,
never of me!
If I think about you,
the Indian population might explode
What kind of talk's that?!
- I'm off
- Where?
To Hell
This is a jungle, not hell,
some bear will eat you
Big deal
More fun than watching you
do press-ups
OK, go then, go on...
Just remember to call if you need me
Let me go!
Sons of mice!
How many men were they?
I am asking you -
how many were they?
Just one, sire
Him, one man!
And six of you!
Yet you return without the girl!
Shame on you!
Sons of pigs...!
So tell me, how much reward...
...has the Sardar put on my head?
Now you've made my name mud!
But punishment will come...
It will certainly come
People are killed by bullets
But I am going to kill you
by making you eat bullets!
I am going to kill you
by feeding you bullets
What will I do? Feed you bullets!
But these are laxative pills
Last year 12 were fed to two men
They are still wandering the jungle
with their pots!
Clever, very clever
That is all very well sir, but what
will come of Murtar Singh?
Murtar Singh?
You have grown old,
but still you sway
A lot of strength in your legs,
a lot of strength in the legs
Give me Murtar's Singh's legs!
Bring me his legs!
Sardar why are you having studs
put in your shoes?
To squash Machar Singh
He cut off my arms
My name is Murtar Singh
He has woken the flame of revenge
in me
I will beat him with my studded shoes
Machar!
Give me those hands!
Your hands!
Sardar, I have been robbed,
destroyed
What's wrong, Basanti?
How can I tell you?
I'm too ashamed to tell you
If you're too ashamed to tell me,
I won't be able to do justice
That scoundrel,
he dishonored me
You mean rape!
Rape.
And this is the second time
Who was it this time?
Who else in this village
except that rogue Machar?
Second time!
Stung by Machar a second time!
Sardar if he does it again,
we'll have a malaria epidemic!
There'll be no epidemic
We'll spray DD
We will kill Machar with insecticide
Make that proclamation!
Shall I lay the table?
Please
Durjan...
What do you know about this palace?
It's a mysterious place,
sire
I've heard stories about it
from my father and grandfather
In the time of Hari Man Singh
there was a dreadful incident...
...which still casts a
shadow over this palace
The tribals believe...
there's a link between this palace
and the ancient temple of Palighat
You...?
Here...?
Put it down and go
Put it down and go
Those town folk
were asking questions about the
palace
What do you think they're looking for?
I know everything
Everything...!
They have come to find the treasure
that's buried here somewhere
Whenever I mention the treasure,
your mother goes crazy
My mother knows a lot
about this old palace
But she can't tell us,
because she is dumb
But I have told you many times,
there's treasure in this palace, there is
What makes you so certain
there's anything here?
If there was no treasure...
...why would they come
to this lonely, desolate place?
Let's take a photo of you two
It's supposed to be romantic -
get closer
I'm too embarrassed
to look in the camera
Mate,
have you hooked one yet?
The fish here are too clever,
they don't want to bite
What's she saying?
I think she's saying,
she'll catch the fish for you
- How'll she do that?
- She's gone
Now you're for it
Let's go
We don't need these fish,
we can go to the market
I am hungry, bring me food,
food, FOOD...
Is this a fish or a crocodile?
Suman has brought this crocodile
from the market...
...to put you off going fishing
for yourself!
Anand, the female race
are always suspicious
Rightly so
Suman come down,
the food is getting cold
Take those photos later
Coming...!
That was the last photo
What's wrong?
The picture...
What's wrong with it?
Nothing at all
Suman, the food's getting cold
What is it?
That painting...
I saw a horrible face
His head was cut off
and blood dripping from his neck
You're something else
In the temple
you saw a body with no head
And here you see a head
with no body
A pretty good tale!
Don't you believe me?
Come on, let's go and eat
Who's sitting on this donkey?
It's not a donkey,
it's a race horse
There's a 15,000 rupee reward
on his head
And you'll catch him?
Of course
After coming all this way,
might as well make some dough
Watch, in two days
I will grab this ass from his donkey
On the river bank, Nandlal teases me
It's Basanti...!
The pot is broken...!
Broken!
Let me go.
I beg you, let me go
Do you beg of me,
or wink at me?
I won't even touch you.
See, I have let you go
But I will watch you dance
Dance? I don't know how to dance
Listen doll, don't try to be
clever with me
What is this? Is this an arm
or an elephant's trunk?
I'm taking you to Sardar,
Machar Singh
I will turn you in
and get the 15,000 reward
But what will I get?
A rope around your neck
Bring the bastard here
I have come of my own free will...
Machar Singh!
- Yes, cripple...?
- You've committed terrible crimes
But some fun ones too!
Isn't that true, Basanti?
You abandoned the young
and nubile village girls
Broke their hearts
Turned your face from them
And formed a relationship
with 70 year old Basanti!
Whether Basanti is 70 or 16...
...in the country where Ganges flows
she'll always be moist
You're about to be hung,
so stop beating about the bush
I am beating about the bush,
but I'm not beating anything else, am I?
I will beat you so much
that your love engine will shut down
Take him off to the gallows now!
Who are you to force me
up the gallows?
I'll go by myself
There's no gallows in the world
strong enough to hang me!
Stop, baldie!
I was having a conversation,
how did you get in the middle?
Wait for me, Basanti!
He's run away!
And so should you
When I catch him again...
...I'll stamp on both your bodies
with my studded shoes
Who are you?
Think you're Sunny Deol?
I was really angry with that man.
I was going to wring his neck
Who are you, my savior?
Please remove your hood.
Show me your face
You! You arrested me
and now you...
And now I freed you
Why?
It's a business, mate
What kind of business?
Let me hear it as well
Look, I capture you
and get the reward...
...free you, capture you again,
get another reward and so on
And what about my share
of this reward?
And 75 percent to you?
Shall I take you to Sardar?
Who'll save you then?
You drive a hard bargain
Agree or not?
I mean, 25 percent.
Alright. I agree, I agree...
Now you're being sensible.
Here's your share
That demon wants to kill me...!
Get me away from here...!
No, Suman. No
We came to Bijapur
to prove something
There is no evil curse
It's just a trick to scare us off
Who's responsible for this?
Answer me
Answer me
Answer me, Durjan!
You can't deny what your own eyes
see,
master
This is not a trick by a human
but a manifestation of a demon
If you really want to understand this...
...you must ask the villagers to help
Bijli, I need to talk to you...
But you must put some clothes on
I understand Hindi,
these ARE my clothes
Come and get me
Will you stay with me?
I want to keep you
Keep...? But first you...
Is this what you came
all the way from Bombay for?
It's very important
that I talk with Bijli
At least now I know
what's important to you
Are you coming with me
or staying with this jungle slut?
Suman, I told you,
it's important that I talk to Bijli
Then she's obviously
much more important to you...
...than me!
Let's go, Bijli
Enough Bijli...
I can't drink any more
I was already drunk
from your lovely eyes
You have only drunk
from my eyes...
When your lips
are pressed against my lips...
...then your body will really
catch fire
I remember those bygone days
Those stolen moments...
...spent with you,
hugged against my body
In your arms I cuddled,
you wrapped up in my hair
Time has taken all but memories.
Why have the dreams shattered?
That past life, our happiness,
romantic places, time of desires
Our tormented hearts,
the pounding heart beats
The songs we hummed
They are lost, gone with the wind.
Why have the dreams shattered?
Come along
Stop right there!
If you don't, then I swear by Kali
this knife will go through you
Don't, it's my brother
How do you dare touch the hand
of Raka's sister?
Bijli? Who is this boy?
This is Sanjay
He wants to ask us
about the palace and old temple
Stay away from that palace
and the old temple...
...or be lost forever
in the darkness of death
Death's darkness can't stop me
from reaching my goal
What goal?
Your goal means the destruction
of our village and our tribe
was buried in that ground
You want to raise it!
To destroy it!
No...
City boy...
Go back to your city
and never come here again
Or I swear by the goddess Kali,
I will slit your throat
You don't scare me
But keep your knife sharp...
...it might be handy
for cutting vegetables
Oh Suman, did you really think
that I had left you for that wild girl?
It was to find out
the secrets of the palace
It was just a show for the tribals
Honestly?
I swear...
Now do I get a smile?
Just a little one...?
Just for me...?
I was getting some enjoyment,
now even that has gone
You dried up old fruit, are you
giving a massage or polishing me?
I am Machar Singh,
my back is built like a brick wall
So give me a hard slap
A clap, was it a clap?
No, it was a gunshot. I'm off!
You guys got afraid for nothing.
He's one of ours
Hey friend! What news?
The news is good.
The reward's been doubled
Really?
But this time you won't be hung
What will they do?
Your punishment's been changed
To what?
This time you will be put
in a live bear's cage
That's great news,
I haven't seen a live bear for ages
A live bear!
I'll be torn to shreds in that cage
You'd better come up with a good plan
Why, are you scared?
It won't be a real bear
Inside the bear skin will be
your very good friend
You're a true magician,
just like a sheep in wolf's clothing
And I will stand in front of you,
puff out my chest and say...
Murtar Singh, you are a dead man,
for sure
Surrounding me with spears
Putting me in the bear cage,
you're trying to kill me
Hey Blackie, you open your ears
and listen to me too
You think you're safe inside that cage
But as soon as you come out,
I'll make kebabs of you...
...and sell them at the train station
Idiot, it's Anand
So, you're Anand
And this is a real bear
I'm real too
I couldn't find a bear skin
Couldn't find a skin?
Sardar, he's run off again
You'd better run off too!
Injustice has been done to me
Machar Singh has run away
I belong neither there nor here
Don't worry
I will do Emperor Jehangir
type of justice
Even Jehangir will come
to seek my forgiveness
I will marry you
Marriage? With you?
- Both your hands have been cut off
- So?
It's only the hands
Who needs hands to marry?
After marriage, we will fly to London
for the honeymoon...
Air India
I'll get new hands made there
That's very funny!
My teeth are false too,
I will get new ones made there
And one more thing, I'm bald,
so I'll get a new wig there too
Who's there?
Who is it?
I'll kill you...
Kill you...! KILL YOU!
Let me go! I'll kill him!
Who will you kill?
That painting
I keep telling you,
there's nothing in that painting
Have you gone mad?
Come with me
Oh my foot
Come on, Anand
Have you gone nuts like Suman?
How can a painting bleed?
You saw the blood
on Suman's hand?
She had no cuts
- Some sort of trick
- And the door in the wall?
Another trick?
A door?
I saw it with my own eyes
There's an opening behind the painting
And it must lead to somewhere
or something
You check that side...
and I'll look over here
There's nothing here
Find anything?
No
A strange place
No-one's been here for years
Over there
Trident?
Anand...
What could be in that box?
Open it
I told you there was treasure here
It's a... severed head!
Maybe some brave soldier's
The king must have kept it securely
in memoriam
Tomorrow we'll get Durjan
to have this area bricked up again
They'll be back to take the treasure
- Let's take it now
- Not yet
Why?
Tonight...
...when they're asleep
I will get my cart...
...and wait
behind the back door of the palace
And you can bring the treasure there
Right... Right...
Let's go and wait
for the lights to go out
Do it gently! It hurts
It's a sprain
She'll have to stay in bed
for a few days
No walking or moving at all
Look here
Now Suman will be able
to get around
I found this wheelchair downstairs
It's getting late.
We should try to get some rest
No! No, Sangha. No!
Stop!
No...!
Bastard...! Stop!
You've killed my mother!
I won't let you live...!
I won't let you open the box,
I won't let you have the treasure!
Master...! It's a calamity!
A calamity, master...! Master!
What's up, Durjan?
Why are you shouting so much?
Master, you must stop Sangha!
He has taken the head and run off
towards the old temple
Stop him master, come quickly
But, Durjan, why did Sangha
take the head to the temple?
If that demon Saamri's head
was found in this palace...
...then his body must have been
buried near the old temple
If the head and body are joined
then the demon will come alive again
Master, go and stop Sangha. Go!
Faster! Faster!
Stop, Sangha!
Where's she gone?
Durjan, where is Sapna?
She was here
What's that noise?
Don't be afraid
I'll be right back
But first I'd better go and close
the main palace gates
Anand, let's check the ruins
Anand - coffin
What happened?
Yes I am Anand,
what happened?
Anand, he was here...
Anand he wants to kill me
Who wants to kill you?
Where's Sapna?
Sapna's, gone.
I don't know where she is
What happened?
Stop Sapna!
Don't take another step
Don't go near the demon,
Sapna!
Saamri!
I'm not afraid of dying!
Show yourself, damn you!
You won't get away from me!
Sapna...
What's going on, Sapna?
What is it?
What's wrong?
You seem terrified...
I've just had a terrible dream!
A dreadful nightmare...
Dayawanti,
Suman's life is in danger!
I can't stay here
I must go to Bijapur, today
Now you've woken the demon
from his sleep of centuries
There will be such a flood of death,
that all be washed away in it
And you people are responsible for it
I swear by Goddess Bhadarkali, there's
only one way to escape this fate
A blood sacrifice of you two
to Bhadarkali
Hail Bhadarkali!
The one that I was dying for,
he has to die today
The faithless in love we must
settle their account today
The one that I was dying for,
he has to die today
The faithless in love,
we must settle their account today
My love your life it soon will end
Death her promise,
she is to about to fulfill
Run, lover!
Let him go
I swear by Bhadarkali,
Raka will cut this girl into pieces
With these hands I will sacrifice
her blood to the goddess
If you want to save her,
then you must fight me
Listen!
I want that city dog, dead or alive
Let's search the jungle.
Come on!
Let's not stay here anymore
Let's get out of here now.
Come on, let's go
Yes, Suman but we have to find
Anand first
He must be at the temple
looking for the demon
Let's go
Where is your friend?
Where have you hidden him?
Where is my sister's killer?
Speak!
Let me go.
I don't know
Speak bastard,
or I will skin you alive
I said I don't know
Now let me go,
I have a mission to kill
And so do I, as you'll find out
Let go of me
I said, let me go.
I said, LET ME GO!
Hail Bhadarkali!
Before you can get to them,
you have to get past me!
Sanjay, get Suman out of here.
I'll deal with this
- I can't leave you here
- Don't argue Sanjay!
This demon feeds off
the blood of Suman's family
He'll kill her
No! I can't leave you
to face this alone
We live together and die together
Go! Go!
Suman's life is at stake!
Take her and get out of here!
Go! Go!
Get Suman out of here!
A friend is someone
who gives his own life if need be
Papa, look what's happened
Anand sacrificed his life
to save us
And the demon killed Sapna too
No man has the power to
combat this demon
Only one mighty power can destroy
him
and that is Lord Shiva
Let's go and beg for our lives
from him
Shiv Shankar, Shiv Shankar,
simple one
You are the one who gives life to all.
You are the mighty preserver
In the middle of the river,
you are the bank
Your strength created the two worlds
Oh creator of all, Shiv Shankar,
Shambo, Bholenath
You are the giver, you are the mother
and father of all
Your glory shines
Strong one, the strength of all,
your devotee calls you
Open your eyes Lord,
give us your divine protection
This is an old temple of yours,
we have surrounded it
Where have you lost your trident?
How can you have lost it
in front of the demon?
Speak mighty one,
speak God, speak
Suman, we need that trident
- Trident?
- Yes, God Shankar's trident
We can kill
this monster with it
And I've seen it in the palace
Come
Suman, that trident was here!
Look there
Suman, this coffin
was in the old temple
The old temple?
Yes, but how did it get here?
That trident must be here
Somewhere in this palace
Don't look in his eyes, Suman!
Suman! Don't look in his eyes!
Suman, no!
What's that noise?
We'll see
But the demon...?
While God Shiva's trident is on it,
the demon can't leave the coffin
Let's go
Burn it!
Turn this palace into ashes!
Let the demon burn
together with this evil palace!
People of Bijapur,
stop right there!
You can't burn down this palace!
Give me...
just half an hour's grace
And within that half hour,
in front of this palace...
...I myself will burn that demon
to ashes in front of your eyes
And if you can't subdue the demon
within that time, then what?
Then go ahead
and burn it down
Come villagers...
Come and burn this demon
in the village square!
Open it
Open it!
Start the fire!
Let this demon burn
Burn him!
Son, I am proud of you
You have destroyed the curse
that has haunted our family...
...for 200 years!
