Talaash (2012)
lt's only the night that
brings the forbidden to life The streets open their arms to whoever passes by This is the path for lost souls Here a smile doesn't reach the eye A mask is worn to cover the lie lt's so festive all around Even then only loneliness abounds Yesterday in these very lanes, in these crushed flowers There was such a high Now only thirsty spirits, wracked in agony Seem to wander by All searching for the same thing Not knowing the futility it will bring This is the path for lost souls Here a smile doesn't reach the eye A mask is worn to cover the lie lt's so festive all around Even then only loneliness abounds Between the lights and among the shadows An unhappy secret exists Why is it here? What has happened for such anger to persist Tell me oh dark night Nothing escapes your sight This is the path for lost souls Here a smile doesn't reach the eye A mask is worn to cover the lie lt's so festive all around Even then only loneliness abounds Here a smile doesn't reach the eye A mask is worn to cover the lie lt's so festive all around Even then only loneliness abounds Good morning, sir. Devrath Kulkarni. So what happened here? An accident, sir. The car crashed into the sea. l've heard a lot about you... it's an honour to work with you. The car came speeding down the road... and then it swerved... like... like this... straight into the sea. Where were you? l was sitting over there. Sir... Pinky knew something was about to happen. She warned us... but we ignored her. Who is Pinky? - Another witness. - Hello, sir. That was the only car on the road. Anything else on the road? There was absolutely nothing on the road... l saw it... Sir, please come here. - Get a stretcher. That's Armaan Kapoor. Check if there's any lD. The doors were locked... he was also wearing the seatbelt. lt is him. Thank you. What's going on here? Move away... all of you. We'll get to the bottom of this. Here. What happened to Ramu, our driver? ls he... Mr. Kapoor was driving... he was alone. Alone? What about Yuvraj? His spotboy... he accompanies Armaan everywhere. There was no one else in the car. But, Armaan... Armaan was never on his own. l don't get it... why was he driving? He hates driving. Get Ramu and Yuvraj's number... talk to them. Good morning, mom. What's wrong, mom? - Film star Armaan Kapoor met with an accident... last night on Seaface road. He died in the crash. - Seaface road is part of Mumbai's underbelly... famous for the red light area nearby. lt is not clear what Armaan Kapoor... - was doing here last night. - Meanwhile Sonya Kapoor's brother, Teji Singh has stated that... - the family is not satisfied with the police statement... - that it was merely an accident. Right now, we need time to deal with this tragedy... - only then can we take any legal recourse. - We still don't know what really happened. What's wrong, Juhi? Lost your husband? Bhai... Bhai... Armaan Kapoor is dead. What? Armaan Kapoor, the actor... here on Seaface road. Are you serious? That's where l'm coming from... it's chaos down there. The press is all over questioning the junkies. So, you really met him last night? l thought you were bluffing. Whom did you meet? Shut up! You have only one good leg... how about l break that too? Jinxed bastard... always arrives with bad news. Here, get us breakfast. Move it! Poor guy, you are so mean to him. Never repeat what l say to you... in front of others. Get it? Sorry. l said, l'm sorry! - Sir, is the underworld involved in Armaan Kapoor's death? - That's all the information we have right now. l'm here outside Armaan Kapoor's place... he lived in an apartment on the top floor. People have been pouring in to offer their condolences... Where is Sonya? She's upstairs. Come in Devrath. Sit. Tell me. Armaan Kapoor was shooting at Filmcity on the night of 4th March... for producer Deepak Lalwani's film... they were shooting on floor number 4. They wrapped the shoot at around 2 AM. - Pack up! Good shot, Armaan. - Both his driver and spotboy were with him at that time. - Did you talk to them? - Yes, sir. - They said Armaan took - His staff went about routinely packing his things. But, then something unusual happened. - Armaan sent them both home from the studio... - and he drove himself. - Ramu... you go home, l'll drive myself. - Come on... - They also thought it was odd because Armaan didn't like to drive. When did he leave from Filmcity? At 2:20 AM. The accident occurred at 4 AM. How long does it take to get to Seaface road from Filmcity? Probably 30 minutes, at night. Even if you give it 45 minutes... where was he for an hour before the accident? We don't know that yet, sir. And Seaface road where the accident occurred... is not on his way home. lnspector Shekhawat... - Sir, l'm calling from The Times of lndia to confirm a story. - Sources tell us that there's an unidentified number on Armaan Kapoor's mobile. - ls it true that his last call-- His phone was destroyed by the water, it's in the workshop. Who speaks to the press here? Come on guys, who here knows journalists... you know, to help me leak a story? Sir! Devrath, confiscate their mobiles. Your phones. Quick! This is a high profile case. No talking to the media. The autopsy and forensics details... any evidence we get... none of it is to be made public... until this case is solved. ls that clear? l said, no talking to the media... you can talk to me. Alright, back to work. Sir! l'm Rakesh Rane. Yes, Rane? l don't think this case will ever be solved... it's an A-final case, sir. l mean... there have been similar accidents on that road in the past few years. All freak accidents... put down as acts of providence... all unexplained. We didn't get any evidence, whatsoever. Finally one mystery is cleared... l know why so many officers transfer out of this station. How's it going? What's up? Madamji. Shashi bhai, where did you flick... l mean buy the belt from? You again! Where you off to, Nirmala? My clients want young girls... not old hags. The rest of you... let's go. - Today's clients have flown in from Goa. Don't listen to him. You look really nice... l know. What's the matter, Shashi? You look tense... something bothering you? - Hey! - Open up! Shashi... What were you doing? Nothing... just trying to rile you up. Look at you... guess l managed to! - Shashi bhai, it's me... Tehmur. Here's the new SlM card, Shashi bhai. Take that in. You changing your number? You ask too many questions... are you a lawyer?! l'm off to my village for a few days. That's your answer if anyone asks. Now get lost! - Take me with you. - lt's a work-trip... - not a vacation. Once it's done, l'll rush back to you. But until then... No one must know anything. - But what was Armaan doing on Seaface road? Suri, stop being secretive... give us the scoop. lt was an accident. That's it. Pass the water, please. You actually met Sonya Kapoor? - ls she as beautiful in real life? - lt is so sad. He was so young... no? - He shouldn't have died. Young people die all the time... but frankly no one-- Sorry. Don't be silly... you don't need to apologise to us. How's she doing now? She's better. l've spoken to a psychiatrist... Anjali Punjabi. Yes, she is quite good. Yeah, l think it will help Roshni-- Can l get you something? No, thanks. Go back. Stop. The car was in perfect condition. - The power brakes were working fine. He braked here and then swerved... and crashed through those steps into the sea. Seems like he was trying to avoid hitting something... but there was nothing on the road. He wasn't drunk either. Yes, sir. The reports don't show any traces of alcohol or narcotics. His lungs were filled with water. - Cause of death is drowning. - Sir... it seems like one of those A-final cases... - none of it makes any sense. Come on. - Thousands have gathered on the streets to pay their last respects... - to beloved Bollywood actor Armaan Kapoor... - Yes? - Hello. l'm Frenny Mistry... l live in the neighbourhood... thought l'd welcome you. There was no need for this... Darling, everybody needs cheese cake! You need any help? Oh no... l'm fine... just some boxes left to unpack. Call me if you need anything... l have a number for everything. Carpenter, electrician, plumber, anything you need... l know them all! Thank you. l would love some tea. Of course, please sit. So, you're alone at home all day... while your husband is out chasing robbers? How long have you been married? - Milk and sugar? Yes, dear... - two spoons. Hello, Karan. Hello, lnspector. Hello. This is Sanjay... Armaan's best friend. Hello. - Please have a seat. Thank you. Sonyaji, we still don't know where your husband was heading that night... or why he was on that road. And the accident? lt's still a mystery why he steered the car off the road... and crashed into the sea. Sonyaji... may l ask you something? Sure. Was something bothering Mr. Kapoor? l mean, was he depressed or disturbed? Armaan did not kill himself, lnspector. - Why would he kill himself? Because you can't figure out what really happened? Just this morning my accountant told me... he had given Armaan 2 million rupees in cash that day. Why? We don't know. - l gave him the money... at around 7:30 in the evening. - Why didn't you inform Sonyaji about this before? Sir, l did try... but she was in a state of shock, so l couldn't speak to her. - Was the money in 500 rupee bills? No, sir, 1000 rupee bills. The money was in a green Puma bag. But we didn't get any such bag in the car. - Didn't you pack Armaan's stuff that night? What all was there? His gym bag... music system, lunch box... and... a bag that the accountant gave him. A red bag? No, sir, a green one. What was in it? Did you open it? No, sir, l never open his bags unless he asked me to. Sure? Yes, sir. Did Mr. Kapoor tell you who the bag was for? No. Has this ever happened before? Twice. And once... about a year ago, on Mr. Kapoor's instructions... l personally dropped off lt's quite close to where... the accident took place. Why? l don't know, sir. l was instructed to... give the bag to the receptionist. - Hello, sir. What's the problem? Anand Murugan used to work here, l want to know his whereabouts. Murugan? He was a receptionist here for 4 years. Of course! He quit and... we haven't heard from him. - ls it extortion? - Sir, blackmail seems more likely. lf it were extortion he would've told someone about it... but, neither his wife nor his friends know anything. ls the blackmail connected to his death? l don't think so... but there are a lot of unanswered questions. Today Armaan's wife has filed an FlR. That's all we need right now. Do we use the entire police force to solve this hero's case? Sir, l think once we get to Murugan we'll have a lot more answers. - Then find him quickly. - Sir. - Sir... Shashi here. - Where the hell have you been? - l have been trying desperately to call you. l had to change my number... need to lie low. - What happened with Armaan that night? How should l know? l wasn't there. - Don't bullshit me. - The police know about the 2 million! You handle them... now back to business... l was promised 5 million... you owe me 3 more. Why are kids made to dance to film songs? ls there nothing better to do? The kids were good. - Roshni... - Roshni! - Roshni! Who is this lunatic? - Hello dear. - Hello. This is my husband, Suri. Hello... This is Frenny, our neighbour. She lives with her brother, lnspector Billimoria. l've met your brother. Poor you, dear. Are you heading home? Yes. How are you, Surjan? l'm fine, why? Nothing... well... Actually, l wanted to meet you. For a while now. Well... l have a message for you. Message? From whom? From your son... Karan. He wants me to tell you that... ls this a joke? No, please hear me out... Karan wants me to tell you that he wants to talk to you. Shut up! Just shut up! We don't want to hear anything. Stay away from us. Get it? l mean it! Let's go. Karan said... 'Tell Dada l am fine'. 'Not to worry.' 'Tell Dada l want to talk to him.' How does she know Karan called you Dada? Didn't you say... she barged in and asked personal questions. But... l didn't mention anything about Karan to her. l can't believe the things people do for money. But what if it's true? What? What if... she really did talk to Karan? Karan is dead, Roshni. He can't talk to anyone. Some people can talk to spirits... l have read such things happen... Don't believe in such stuff, Roshni. That's nonsense. Please don't do this to yourself and me. Suri, all l am saying is... can we hear her only once-- l'm sorry, l can't have this conversation. lt's too ridiculous, l'm leaving. Suri, please... only once-- Suri! Dada... Mom, can we go for a walk? Okay. - Karan, don't wander too far off. - Okay. - Karan! - Karan! Karan! - Suri, find him. Karan! - Karan! Looks like you need some love. l can take your pain away. Save it for someone else... l'm a cop. l've always had shitty luck... l'm only getting started for the night and you call it a day! But, it's okay, officer... take me with you. Arrest me! How will that help? When you're already in hell. Perhaps... but l know the way to heaven. - Right down this road... Hotel Lido. There's heaven in every room. Hotel Lido, that place nearby? The receptionist is a friend... he won't charge a thing. Get in. You men are all the same. How long have you been working in Lido? Seven years. Do you know Murugan? Anand Murugan? He was a receptionist there. Why? l'm looking for him. But... no one seems to know where he is. Everyone know he is dying in Melur... AlDS is bad for business. So, the manager sent him away. Thank you. That's it? That's it. Don't shoo me off... l can really help you. l'll find you when l need you... now go. Missing me already? What's your name? Rosie. Good night, Rosie. Where can l find Anand Murugan? That way. Anand Murugan? Sir, Devrath here. - You were right, Murugan has AlDS. - About a year ago he got a bag from Armaan Kapoor's accountant. - For a guy called Shashi. Now who's Shashi? He's a pimp. He works out of Hotel Lido. Shashi gave Murugan Rs. 2000 for the bag. l hope Murugan isn't lying. l don't think so. He is dying, why would he lie? - Where is Shashi? - He told me he was going to Sangli for some work. What work? That he didn't tell me. When is he expected? l don't know. Listen to me... Shashi is in trouble. lf you want to help him, tell me where he is. Sir, l really don't know. Did Shashi ever mention anything about Armaan Kapoor? - Where is Shashi? - l don't know. - Haven't seen him around. l heard he went back to his village. Where is that? You know, a place that has cows and bullock carts. A village. You're quite a good comedienne. But, unfortunately for you... it's not easy to make me laugh. You have two options. Either you give us Shashi's address... or we can take a drive to the station. Hold on. You can't just arrest me. Devrath, she really is funny... she's made me smile too. Christina, get me my diary. - Sir, Shashi didn't come here to Sangli. Just as l thought. You can come back. Tell the cops there to keep an eye on his family. We have to find this guy no matter what! l need these pills. Karan liked to play in water. Ever since he was little. When l'd get the water ready for his bath... he'd be so happy. He would fill his mouth and spout water on me. He wouldn't stop laughing! Karan loved to be in water... did he have to drown and die? Losing a child is a very traumatic experience. l empathise with you... but life does take unexpected turns. Sometimes we end up losing people that we love. But we have to carry on. Be patient, Roshni. l can assure you that with the help of these sessions and medication... you will get out of this. And you have your husband for support as well... Along with Karan... l also lost Suri. The fact is Suri needs your help more than l do. l don't know what he thinks... or what he feels. He doesn't talk to me. You know... he never talks about Karan. Never. Do you feel Suri doesn't care? No, he does care. lf he didn't... he'd be able to sleep. My sadness is met with a silence from you Time is to blame and that is the truth Beat after beat a sorrow continues to stay Then why does the heart still seem to say Live a little The heart says live a little My fellow traveller, my soul mate Come a little closer and live a little Yes this life has been full of pain But there is a solace too that it contains l am yours and you are mine And we hope that this won't ever change Then why has the road that leads me to you broken down Why are we meeting life with a frown Come let's open the doors, let it all go Let's cry our hearts out, let the tears flow Live a little The heart says live a little My fellow traveller, my soul mate Come a little closer and live a little Let the pain clouds drift away Allow life to blossom a little each day Leave the past where it belongs And listen to what the heart has to say Live a little The heart says live a little My fellow traveller, my soul mate Come a little closer and live a little - Sir, the guy in the yellow t-shirt is Tehmur, Shashi's confidant. - He's walking towards you. Alright. Tehmur! Me... sir? You are Tehmur, right? What do you do? l'm a beggar. l'm very poor... don't even have enough to eat. Sir, l haven't done anything... - Sir, where are you taking me? - Get him in! - Speak up! He's not talking. Sir, l really don't know where Shashi is... Sir, l swear l don't know anything. Shut up! Sir is an encounter specialist. A few days ago he shot dead some goons! You better talk. Sir, trust me, l really don't know anything. What will you do if Shashi calls you? l'll inform you. What if you don't? You can chop off my legs! You can go. Really? Now get lost! Shashi has never treated you well. He treats you like a dog! l suggest you come clean to lnspector Shekhawat. And save yourself. Pande, you know me well. l'm not trying to help Shashi... nor am l being a hero. l want to stay away from it all. Shashi is into something big. Shashi took 2 million from Armaan Kapoor. He can't escape... sooner or later we will get him. We're sorry. The number you've reached is not in service. Tehmur, give us some water. - Shashi, You better listen to me. - Stop calling me so many times. - l told you that you'll get the money tomorrow. - Come to the Mahim carnival at 8 pm tomorrow. - lf you want the money, don't call again. Seen Shashi around? No, sir... l knew you would be back. Why? Everyone gives in to my charm... how would you escape? You were right about Murugan. Why would l lie? People here don't really help the cops. Because cops don't really help the people here. Cops treat everyone alike. You're really funny, you know that? Where are you going? Where do you think? That's not why l'm here. Then, why are you here? Don't lie to me. l can sense you are lonely. No fun with the wife anymore. Am l right? l am not here to play games. Do you know Shashi? Shashi? What's there to know? He is a jerk. Do you work for him? l am one of his top girls. Where is he right now? l don't know. l'm looking for him... will you help me? Get your team to fill in for me... and l'll step in for them... as a cop. lf you want, l can figure something out for you... Really? What can you do for me? l suggest you keep your beautiful eyes open... l don't know where Shashi is... he's probably in a drunken haze drowned in somebody's arms... but how long can he stay submerged... sooner or later he'll have to surface. Shashi is playing a big game this time... it involves millions. So, tell the cops... to arrest him and chop his balls off! No, it's time for my payback... l've done enough dirty work for him. Shashi won't do anything for you. He better. He owes me. l want to ask you something. l need you to be sober when l say this... l need to be drunk to do my job. Ask me... Nirmala... lf l hit the big time... and make lots of money... will you marry me? Did the cops hit you on your head? Come on, answer me... will you come with me? Stop building these castles in the air. l'm a whore and l'll always be one... and you'll always be a whore's lame son! Stay away from Shashi's rackets if you want to stay alive... Mom, can we go for a walk? Okay. Karan... wait... don't go... Dada... Let's play checkers instead. Alright! Who wants red? - l... - l! - Mom, can we go for a walk? - Okay. Karan... wait... l'll come with you. - Mom, can we go for a walk? l'm Karan Shekhawat... l need your help. Can you call my mom and dad? l want to talk to them... their names are Roshni and Surjan. Please tell them, l want to talk to them. l'm Karan Shekhawat... l want to talk to my mom and dad... Concentrate, my dear. l am here to speak to Karan... Can the spirits help me reach Karan? l am here to speak to Karan... Can the spirits help me reach Karan? l am here to speak to Karan... Can the spirits help me reach Karan? Hello mom... l'm right here with you... l'm happy that l'm speaking with you. Thank you, mom. Please tell dad that... l really want to talk to him... l know you and dad are sad because of me. l am always with you... Please don't cry, mom. l want to see you smiling like this always. l can sense you are lonely... no fun with the wife anymore. Am l right? l knew you would be back... everyone gives in to my charm... how would you escape? l am not here to play games. Then, why are you here? Do you know Shashi? l suggest you keep your beautiful eyes open... l don't know where Shashi is... he's probably in a drunken haze drowned in somebody's arms... - What is it? Some creep tied stones to a girl's body and threw it in the sea. But how long can he stay submerged... - The body did not surface for four days. Sooner or later he'll have to surface. Have you sent it for post-mortem? No, sir, we're trying to get identification. - What did you just say? - Sir! A girl's body has surfaced in Mahim Creek... the killer tied stones to her body before drowning her. She was killed four days ago. Devrath! Send Shashi's photo and description to all morgues and hospitals... immediately! - Last evening at approximately 8:30... - a clean shot through the head... - the killer was at a distance of almost 300 metres. - The shell casing and gunshot wound prove that a .315 calibre rifle was used. - Definitely a professional hit. - We got these keys from his pocket, of a room at the Golden Eyes hotel. We recovered these things from his room... he had checked in as Krishna Nair. He didn't have anything apart from his clothes... nothing to identify him. Why is this so heavy? When your time comes... there's nothing you can do about it. What's with the long faces, guys? Shashi bhai is dead. What?! What rubbish? lt's true, he is dead. Someone shot him last evening at the Mahim carnival. But what was Shashi doing at the carnival anyway? Shashi, you better listen to me... stop calling me over and over again. l told you that you'll get the money tomorrow. Come to the Mahim carnival at 8 pm tomorrow. You ask too many questions... are you a lawyer?! So, you really met him last night? l thought you were bluffing. Shashi is into something big... he took 2 million from Armaan Kapoor. Did Shashi have a green bag? Did he? l don't want to go back to that life... Sorry, Mallika. Madam is calling you. Shashi paid her for me... Move it. - Shashi paid her for my freedom... - tell them Shashi paid her for my freedom... - Tehmur! Armaan Kapoor? Shashi bhai... Come in, doctor... the bleeding hasn't stopped. - Shashi, she needs to be taken to a hospital... - No, no hospital... fix her up here... lf you ever say a word about this... l will break your face. Get it? Shashi bhai, thanks for the payback. We had to report to the income-tax department because the 2 million was in cash. You'll have to apply for a refund. How did Armaan know... that guy Shashi? l'm afraid l still don't know. Why was he blackmailing Armaan? Sonya, he said he doesn't know. You think it's possible that... Armaan was using prostitutes? Sonya, please... l want to know the truth. l'm not really sure... but, yes it's possible. Hello? l'm Shashi's friend. Excuse me. Who is this? - l just told you! Remember Shashi? You called him to the carnival... and you killed him. l'm in a meeting right now... let me call you back in some time. Please, don't bother... l'll call you back in an hour... you better answer or you will regret it. Okay. He's taken the bait! Jackpot! Who would have thought you were so smart, Tehmur? Tell me... l want five million. What? What for? To keep your secret safe. What are you talking about? Listen to me, don't waste my time. Okay then, you'll hear from the cops... once they get Shashi's phone SlM and the DVD. - lf that's not good enough... l know about the girl too. l'm in trouble, dad. lt's a real mess. What is it? Armaan and l... some people have been blackmailing us. What? Who are these people? Do you remember Nikhil's accident? Of course. He didn't fall from the balcony of our Juhu bungalow... l lied to you. Actually, he fell off a moving car... it was an accident, dad. How come you're home so early! Are you complaining? Suri! Do you have to go back? No. Then let's go out. Where? Let's go for a movie... and then we'll eat out... Please, Suri... come on... Please! l couldn't stop laughing! How did you like the film? l was watching you, actually... it's good to see you happy. Thank you, Roshni... For seeing the therapist... l know it can't be easy for you... but l think it's really helping you. - Hi Roshni aunty... - Samar! What brings you to Mumbai? My cousin is getting married next week... l was going to call you... Samar's been looking forward to seeing you. lf you're free one evening, come over... have dinner with us. Sure, why not! How about Friday? l'm working late on Friday. What about Saturday? Actually, l'm busy all week... l'm working on a new case, sorry, l'm really pressed for time. No problem... you cops do work long hours. l can't believe you did that! They must have felt so bad... they are our friends, Suri. That doesn't mean l have to meet them... l'm not stopping you from meeting them. Every time l look at Samar... He is only a child, Suri... what happened wasn't his fault. l know... the fault was mine. lt was an accident, Suri. No, it was negligence... on my part. lnstead of keeping an eye on them, l fell asleep. So did l... we didn't know the kids would do something like that. Please, Suri. Don't blame yourself. You can say what you want now, Roshni... but l know how you look at me sometimes... But... l've never blamed you... l've never thought like this... But l do... every single day. Don't... you mustn't blame yourself... come on... let's go in and talk. No, l've got some work. Please, Suri. Suri... This illness you have of the heart l don't seem to understand at all You abandon everything that's near and dear And what remains distant you seem to call My heart is listless! Without you. My heart is listless! Without you. l don't know why And l don't know how There exists an invisible tension One that tugs One that leads One that tugs One that leads Me in your direction l am the mystery l am that story That doesn't have an end Come closer and you shall see Come closer and you shall see The distance remains and is meant to be My heart is listless! Without you. My heart is listless! Without you. What l haven't been able to unravel ls the riddle that you are No one knows the secret No one knows the secret The secret who's friend you are l smile, and hide from the world How restless l am day and night lt's been a while since l shut my eyes lt's been a while since l shut my eyes Been a while since l felt peace inside My heart is listless! Without you. My heart is listless! Without you. Don't you ever go home? And when do you sleep? Hmm? l need to ask you something... l'll come back later if you are busy. Look at them staring at us... They probably think... l'm picking you up. How does it matter? Let me take you to a place... where no one will bother us. What is this place? lt's my secret spot... hardly anyone ever comes here. lf you can't find me anywhere else... you'll probably find me here... lsn't it peaceful here? Why are you so sad? What makes you say that? Fine, you don't have to talk about it. Let's talk about something else... how's the investigation going? l heard Shashi was killed. l don't know what l am looking for. Every clue seems to lead to a blank... l feel like the answers are staring me in the face... but l can't see them. Can l ask you something? Sure. Did Shashi ever make you meet... anyone famous? Meet anyone famous? You want to know if l slept with Armaan Kapoor? Then ask me straight... l won't be offended... it's my job. The answer is no... but his friend was a regular client. And l met Armaan once with him. Why didn't you tell me this before? You never asked me. When was this? Three years ago... Armaan wasn't as famous back then... He came with Nikhil, his friend. There was another guy with them. We went for a drive... That's all. This other guy... was his name Sanjay Kejriwal? l don't know his name... but l'd recognise him if l saw him. What are you doing here, Rosie? You don't belong here. l've been waiting for you... to come along and rescue me. lf you want to get out... l can help you. l know. But not yet... there are some things l need to take care of... let me get done with that. And who knows... someday l might end up doing something for you. l have to say... you're really different. Trust me, you don't belong here either. How's that? Well, you actually care about people... without wanting anything in return. Not too many people like that around here. Three years ago a friend of mine... went out with some guys... She never came back. No one's heard of her since... no one knows if she is dead or alive... and no one cares. l mean, think about it. A girl just vanishes... and it makes no difference to anyone. Did you report it to the cops? Are you crazy? l think l should remind you about the laws in our country. Prostitution is still illegal. We don't even exist... and if we don't exist... how can we go missing? Hello, l'm lnspector Shekhawat... and l'm here to see Nikhil Deshpande. He wants to meet Nikhil. Nikhil... look, someone's come to see you. Doctors are not sure how much he can understand... He understands everything, l know it. - He hasn't spoken since the accident. The profits recorded went up by 8 percent... and, this trend indicates that... there is a substantial growth in this sector. And, according to-- Hello? hold on for a second... Guys... l have to take this call so... please continue... Okay, as l was saying... according to this trend... l want to meet with you. You got the money? Are you listening to me? l want to meet-- You think l'm an idiot? l know what happened to Shashi. l didn't kill Shashi. l was at the carnival with the money... waiting for Shashi. l've been paying him off for years, why would l have him killed? l can ruin you in a matter of hours... What will you get out of it? Think about it... - lf you're ready to meet, l will bring the money... at a place and time of your choice. Why are the lights switched off... Come... Devrath, come in... This way, Devrath... Nice house, sir. Roshni... Looks like my wife is out... Would you like a drink? l don't mind... Whisky, right? Yes, sir. Soda or water? Water, sir... And ice? Okay. Sorry, Devrath... l think Roshni forgot that you were coming over for dinner... she's out for a film with a friend. lt's okay, sir. Hello Suri, how're you doing? Sorry to disturb your film, but l need to speak with Roshni... - l can't get through her phone. What film? - Roshni's not with me, Suri. - ls everything okay? Yeah... l'm sorry... l got it wrong... it slipped my mind, sorry... Devrath, do you know where Billimoria lives? Sir... block-2, ground floor... What's wrong, sir? Sir... Where is Roshni? She's inside... you have to wait here. You can't go in there... Sir... you can't... Suri... l warned you to stay away... didn't l? Suri... Suri... stop it... Have you lost it, Roshni? What are you doing here? Karan is dead, he can't talk to you. l don't blame you for your anger, it comes from the pain within-- That's enough! lf you can really talk to Karan, tell him to appear now... l want to see him... where is he? l can't do that. Only trapped spirits can manifest themselves in human form... but Karan didn't have a problem moving to the afterlife... he had a smooth passage. Unbelievable! A smooth passage? He was only 8 and he drowned to death! How smooth is that? There are many things in this world that can't be explained. l didn't choose this life... it chose me. - Let's go... - No, Surjan... listen to me... deal with your pain, or you will attract more of it. When my husband died, l was very depressed... and that's when the spirits started communicating with me. Let's go! Disturbed spirits are attracted to people in pain... they feel a kindredness. - Stop it, Suri, let go of me! Stop it! Suri! How could you lie to me? You hid all this from me? How can l tell you the truth? You are never home. Don't change the subject. Do you really believe in that stuff? You're highly educated... you taught science to kids... think about it, Roshni, use your head... how can you believe this nonsense? l don't know what l believe... but l know she has told me things... that only Karan knew about. lt makes me happy... why don't you understand? Suri... Karan wants to talk to you! You've lost it completely, Roshni. You need help. l don't need help... l need to talk to you... Can you talk to me? Can you stay home one night with me? Can we live like a couple and not like strangers? l'll see you later, sir. Hold on! You work with him, right? Are you also out every night? ls your wife okay that you never come home? Where do you go, Suri? Have l ever asked you? Who are you with every night? l know you are not working... l know you are with someone. l don't know where you go or what you do... but it keeps you going... it makes you happy. So why can't l do something that gives me peace and happiness? See you later, sir. All couples go through phases... Suri and you have been through hell... give it time... this too shall pass. l don't think so. Have you thought about having another child? Suri would not hear of it. l tried bringing it up but... he didn't want to talk about it. l think he is having an affair. What? No way... that's impossible... Roshni, we're talking about Suri. l asked him straight out... he didn't even deny it. What are you doing here? l had to see you. Are you falling for me, officer? l'm kidding! What do you want to ask me? Are you... are you okay? l am very tired... Come with me... come on... Please don't misunderstand... l just want to talk. lf someone says that to me... l suppose, l should be offended. Come here... l won't bite. This is my wife, Roshni... and this is Karan... my son. Your wife is very beautiful. Roshni and l were very happy... What happened then? Karan... ls anyone really happy? Are you happy? l have my moments. You can still get out of here... start a new life. lt's not that simple... Why not? You wouldn't believe me, if l told you. Try me... Some other time perhaps... Can you do me a favour, please? What? Remember Mallika? Shashi's girlfriend? Yeah... She is in a mess... can you help her? What happened to her? Close your eyes... Hey you... get Mallika. Okay, sir. Where's Mallika? For today l'm Mallika... what do you want? Police business, get her. She's out. Call her out or l'll come back with a warrant... and that will be the end of you. Who did this to you? Shashi paid her off for me... now she denies it... and is forcing me back to work. lf you want to get out of here, sit in the car. They won't let me leave... Don't worry about them... get in the car. Trust me... don't be scared. Where do you think you're going? Go stop her! Come back here... Let me file these papers. She is a good woman. She will help you. Sir... thank you. Don't thank me, thank Rosie... she told me about you. Rosie? Who's she? She is one of Madam's girls. l don't know who you're talking about... That's how it is with us girls... today Rosie, tomorrow Jasmine. That's how we play it. Sir... l... lied to you earlier. Shashi knew Armaan Kapoor. Shashi met Armaan Kapoor... on the night of his accident. Do you know why? l never meddled in his work. But, you know what... you should get hold of that slime Tehmur... l'm sure he knows something. After everything Shashi did for him... Tehmur... help me... - The creep didn't raise a finger to help me. Tehmur, don't do this... Shashi was like a brother to you. - He was trying to steal Shashi's stuff. What stuff? lt was a green bag... which Shashi had got home that night. Tomorrow morning at 11:15 at Churchgate station, come alone. - Bring the money with you... l'll call you with more instructions... One more thing... - if l meet with Shashi's fate... whether you're responsible for it or not, the cops will get the stuff. Fine. l've to work... what is it? l need your help... My help? l can't trust anyone but you. Hold it! l don't want to get into any mess. Nirmala... lf this plan works out... you and l can get out of here. Free as birds... think about it. l don't know who is the bigger fool... you or l... Tehmur! Hello? Listen carefully... there is a restroom to your right... you'll see a blue bag under the basin, dump the money into it. - Get it? Yeah... - Then head to platform number 4... the train for Virar leaves in 5 minutes... - get into the compartment next to the first class. Hurry up, you don't want to miss the train. l don't know And neither do you At which point What time will choose ln this gamble called life What will we win And what will we lose Hi darling! That's a... nice bag... Who you are working for? Tell me... l'll make it worth your while. l can give you a lot more. Listen! You're making a mistake. l don't know And neither do you At which point What time will choose ln this gamble called life What will we win And what will we lose Where there is happiness ln its shadow l reside And those who smile Also have a tear in their eye Wherever you go Beneath you the same ground will lie And above you the same sky l don't know And neither do you At which point What time will choose ln this gamble called life What will we win And what will we lose l need your help... l can't trust anyone but you. l don't know who's the bigger fool... you or l... Listen... You have to pretend... not to know me. Don't talk to me... in fact, don't even look at me. Corner him! Catch him! Where's the money, you jerk! This guy is operating on his own... - he confessed everything... - he worked For Shashi... and happened to stumble upon this... - he doesn't even know your name... - he got your number from Shashi's SlM card. Finish him off... - You will get the rest of your money... and don't call me ever again. Did you ever think of me? Did you... even once? l haven't done anything... You claimed to be my friend... l did nothing... Over there... they pushed him... l will join you on the train. But if l don't get there... don't wait for me. Get on the train, come what may. You've got to be on that train, okay?! Simran... - He said Simran... - Simran? Yes, sir, he said Simran... and died. Sir, the hospital called... that goon is conscious... we can take his statement, should l go? No, l'll go. Now listen... you and Rane go to the brothel. Apparently Tehmur mentioned a 'Simran' before he died... Find out who this girl is that Tehmur knew... probably one of Madam's girls, bring her in. lt's in your best interest to cooperate with me... or else, the lockup is where you'll be. Sir is talking to you... Sir! the patient is still critical. - Leave the room... - But, sir... Let me do my job. Get out! Out! No one can help you now! lf you are lucky enough to survive... here's what will happen. l'll take you into my custody and question you... and l have a way of getting the truth. Then l'll file a case against you... for Tehmur's murder... and l'll make sure you get the death penalty for killing him. l guarantee you that. Tehmur was a key police witness... and you were caught red-handed. Think about it... if you cooperate... l'll save you from the death penalty. Tell me, who hired you to clear their mess? Ghorpade, take him into our custody. l think he prefers to be there. Sir... the doctor said he can't be discharged... Tell the doctor he didn't say anything like that. l want this man in my custody today. Do whatever it takes. Yes, sir. Gokhale... get started... remove these pipes and tubes... Sanjay Kejriwal! What? Sanjay Kejriwal. Sir, there's no Simran here. No, sir... a few girls said there was someone called Simran... but she ran away some years ago. Where could she have gone? Someone has to know... it's possible that she is still there... and the other girls are trying to protect her. Tell Rane to stay there and keep looking. Okay, sir. - You go to the police station... and meet me at Sanjay Kejriwal's bungalow with a team. Hurry up! - Yes, sir. This way, sir. lnspector Shekhawat! What brings you here? Mr. Kejriwal, l have a warrant for your arrest. What? On what basis? For getting Tehmur and Shashi murdered. Babu Tipnis... you know him already... He has signed an affidavit implicating you... you have to come with us. Hand over your mobile phone, please. Now! Let's go. Come on, stand up. - l said stand up! - Please... just a minute. Can we talk? Go ahead. ln private? l'm afraid not. He was blackmailing us... lt all started three years ago. Armaan, me and our friend, Nikhil... - were out one night. l know what we can take to the bachelor party... Nikhil knew Shashi... - go to Hotel Lido... Hello Shashi... - We went with him to Hotel Lido... - and there we picked up a girl. l wasn't happy about it. What was the girl's name? Simran. Nikhil started messing with the girl in the car... How about a trial... - What happened next? l don't know... - probably the back door wasn't locked properly... lt was an accident! Nikhil! Shit! Nikhil! Be careful... - Easy... - Okay... Armaan, get into the car now! Sanjay, we can't leave her in this state... Dude, you're asking for trouble... we'll get screwed because of this hooker. Get in the car... - Please! - Sanjay? - Sanjay, we can't leave her here... what if she dies... Call that guy, Shashi... Call Shashi, he will handle it... Oh God! Shashi called Armaan a week later... and sent him a DVD... it had footage from the security camera at Hotel Lido... of the three of us leaving the lobby with the girl. Shashi told us the girl was dead... and he had buried her body somewhere. Where's the DVD? l know her, she's the one who has been helping me. You mean, she is... alive? Yes, Mr. Kejriwal, l've met her several times... l think Shashi and the girl conned you. But sir, if that's the case, why would she help you? Only she can answer that. Devrath, head to Hotel Lido right now... she might be there... she goes by the name of Rosie nowadays, not Simran... and inform Rane as well. Get her to the police station immediately. Yes, sir. Let's go. lf you had informed the police right at the beginning... it would've saved many lives... probably your friend, Armaan's too. So much happened... and all for what? Look out! - Sir... - l think only l can see her... Have you lost your mind, Shekhawat? Next thing you'll tell me... is that you saw a ghost! Don't misunderstand me... l and the police department value you tremendously... but there's talk going on about you that could ruin your career. Your subordinates have been saying that you don't sleep at night... keep driving all night... you talk to yourself... Look at them staring at us... They probably think... l'm picking you up. Why would l lie? People here don't really help the cops. Think about your future, Shekhawat... if you mention this in your official report... you know what's going to happen... you'll be the laughing stock of the department. l think... you should take a break for two months... you really need it. But what about the truth? The truth is that... Sanjay Kejriwal decided to end his life instead of going to jail. Armaan Kapoor died in an accident that can only be an act of providence. And the two men blackmailing them... they're dead. Case closed! This is the truth and this will go as your official statement. Am l clear? Yes, sir. Good. What are you doing here, Rosie? You don't belong here. l've been waiting for you... to come along and rescue me. No, Surjan, listen to me... deal with your pain, or you will attract more of it. Disturbed spirits are attracted to people in pain... they feel a kindredness. l can take your pain away. Some people can talk to spirits... l have read such things happen... Think about it, Roshni, use your head... how can you believe this nonsense? There are many things in this world that can't be explained. You can still get out of here... start a new life. lt's not that simple... Why not? You wouldn't believe me, if l told you. Let me take you to a place... where no one will bother us. lf you want, l can figure something out for you... Really? What can you do for me? l knew you would be back. Only trapped spirits can manifest themselves in human form. lf we don't exist... how can we go missing? Three years ago a friend of mine... went out with some guys... She never came back. l mean, think about it. A girl just vanishes... and it makes no difference to anyone. What is this place? lt's my secret spot... hardly anyone ever comes here. lf you can't find me anywhere else... you'll probably find me here... Why don't you understand, Suri? Karan wants to talk to you! And who knows... someday l might end up doing something for you. Hello dad, l miss you... l know you miss me a lot too... What happened that day was not your fault... it was my fault, dad... l am sorry. There was nothing you could have done to change it... this is what l had to tell you... Please don't blame yourself... because that makes me very sad. Please don't fight with mom because of me. l can never be happy if both of you are so unhappy. Dad, do you remember telling me... that you always wanted to see me happy? l know l can count on you to make everything okay... because you are the best dad in the world. The world may say You are gone But you are here You are right here The world may say You are gone But you are here You are right here ln my every thought Every word spoken ln my every feeling My every emotion There is only you You are everywhere The world may say You are gone But you are here You are right here The world may say You are gone But you are here You are right here You never really left my side You hold my hand even today No matter what the destination is You will be my fellow traveller All the way The world may say you are gone But you are here You are right here The world may say you are gone But you are here You are right here |
