Engulfed by nature all around,
what is this darkness?
It's a dance of death,
watched by hyenas.
Neither the shade of trees,
nor any settlements.
This eerie night shall see no dawn.
These people are fleeing
the game of death.
Why do these people forget that
they belong to this land? 
Sorrow, misery and despair all around.
There is neither hope to life or living. 
There shouldn't be a drought
anywhere in the world.
Man can tolerate anything but hunger.
No mother.
I have lost the will to live, my son
Nothing will happen to you, Mother.
Hunger has exhausted me.
Leave me alone, Babu.
I won't leave you mother...
I will get you some food.
Wait for me, Mom... I'll be back soon!
Auntie! Please give me
some food for my mother. Please!
It's a matter of her life, auntie!
Kalibhaiya! Give me some bread
for my mother... else, she'll die.
I'll always be indebted to you!
Auntie! Open the door!
Please save me from becoming orphan.
I have no one except my mother.
For God's sake, give me some bread.
Or else, my mom will die!
Anybody in?
Look, mom! I've got food for you!
I have brought food for you!
Have it, mom!
You will be strong and
will be able to walk again.
What's wrong, mom?
Mother!
What has happened to you?
You can't leave me, mother.
Son, your cries won't
bring back the dead.
Wipe your tears.
You have learnt the
last lesson of a hard life.
Those who beg, are kicked by people...
and the same people wag
their tails before those grab!
Sultan helps those who
write their own destiny.
Take my hand; come with me.
Come, son. Come with me.
Come, son, don't be afraid.
This is my small fiefdom.
And they are all my kids.
This is Abdul.
My nephew. He looks after the factory.
What are you looking at?
This is a pistol..
..a revolver..
..all these are revolvers.
Do you want to try it out?
Take this, son... go ahead.
The sight of you has revived
the dreams I had long buried.
My wisdom, and your courage...
will take me to the peak of success!
And then, I will confer
on you the title... Badshah!
Badshah!
Our informer has finally succeeded.
He has news for us.
Dayalji's shop will be robbed
by the same gang at 8:30 p.m. Today.
Hands up!
Don't try to act smart!
Or else, we'll shoot you.
Make it fast!
Abdul! Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Hold your fire.
Follow me.
I give you guys time,
till the count of three!
Come out of the car with your hands up.
One, two...
Your greed would have
killed all of us today.
Left! Left! Left!
Fantastic! Badshah has brought
diamonds from an ocean on fire!
I did it 20 years ago!
You were a child.
And I decided to make
you my confidante...
I did the right thing!
Today, I see my dreams coming true.
My desires being fulfilled.
You were my companion.
Now you share my secrets.
Go, Badshah.
Your clothes are torn.
Get yourself some new ones.
What happened, Sapna?
What thoughts are you lost in?
In a world of animals,
I've met a human for the first time.
What do you mean?
I've only had people
drooling at my body.
This is the first man
who noticed my torn clothes.
Congratulations, Badshah.
You don't recognize me. But I know you.
I have all your records.
My name is Arjun Pradhan...
Inspector Arjun Pradhan.
Crime branch.
You robbed a jeweler last night...
and were smart enough
to give me the slip.
I don't regret that.
Because I have now decided
to catch you red-handed.
And this is the first
and last time I'm warning you.
You'll have to be very lucky
every time you commit a crime.
But I'll have to be lucky just once,
in order to arrest you.
So get the hell out of here!
Or you're going to rue
your destiny all your life.
I don't live on borrowed time.
I've shaped my own destiny.
One last suggestion, Badshah.
Either give up crime forever.
Or quit town with your friends.
Because I'm now out
with a shroud on my head.
Whether you wear it or I...
it makes no difference.
It's 50:50 for us, Sultan.
You decide the place and I'll
decide the time of the delivery.
What time? - 3 p.m. Which place?
Behind the Ramtek quarries.
A small fish can even
survive in the well.
But once it grows bigger...
it needs a river.
And every fish yearns
to swim in the seas.
It's time to rule the world
of crime that I have so badly pursued.
The deal takes place behind
the Ramtek quarries at 3 p.m. Tomorrow.
Put off the deal for a few days.
The police are extremely alert.
What does that mean?
The police department has an
honest officer in Inspector Pradhan.
As sincerely as we
pursue our business...
that man does his
duties most diligently.
Stop worrying about him, Badshah.
I've had his informer bumped off.
He'll never get to
know about us anymore.
Stop, Badshah!
Or else, I'll have to open fire!
You are under arrest.
You wanted to save a
man who was out to kill you!
C'mon!
Sit here.
Wait here, Badshah.
I'll try and find some help.
What's happened to you? Are you okay?!
Why doesn't anyone listen to me?
- Nobody will listen to you.
God seems to be deaf, too.
Who are you? - His friend, Abdul.
I went out to seek help for him.
- Don't worry.
I live close-by... Help me carry him.
We must rush him to a doctor
or a hospital immediately.
No. No one must know that you
have someone wounded in this house.
What enmity could this
good man have with anyone?
A good man does not
go looking for enemies...
his enemies find him.
Hold his arm tightly.
Will you always daydream?
Get ready to go to work!
Where did you find this bird?
How and when did you trap it?
Have you got into the
business then? - Uncle!
Relax... this monster understands
only the language I speak!
Who's he? - He's ill.
An ailing lover!
Whom are you conning? Me? Or is it him?
He's wounded.
To serve in the name of
humanity is for the rich, my dear.
It isn't for entertainers like us.
What will we live on,
if you don't dance on the streets?
It must be your yearning for
the booze that makes you speak thus.
I only drink! I don't pimp for you!
I'd have had your head rolling
the day you forced me into it!
Get the hell out of here!
This instant... get lost!
I'll have your blood
if I see you around again!
Make a whore out of me, my foot!
Don't you show me your face again!
My Uncle! Damn it!
Don't worry... this is
something that happens every day.
I can't help it. It's difficult
for an orphan girl to live alone.
Even if my uncle is a drunkard...
it's enough to warn people
that I have an elder to protect me.
I've bought new clothes...
you won't complain now, will you?
May I come in?
What a face!
She looks like a film heroine!
Now what's the name of the
heroine she resembles... the No. 1!
Sit down, Abdul.
Is this a hospital
or your in-laws' place?
Shut up!
Have some milk.
- This is my friend, Bajrangi.
I ply the rickshaw for the film stars.
But your face...
I'll fetch some tea for you. - Great!
What news, Abdul?
- There's tight security in the city.
The police have made
our lives miserable.
Sultan is away in Sultanpur
and will stay put.
The rest of the gang has dispersed.
Sultan says that till such time
as you and the situation improve...
you must stay underground.
...Stay here, I mean.
Where's the contraband?
It's someone else's property.
I've stashed it away.
Send Bajrangi over if you
have some important news, Abdul.
You need not take the risk. ...Go on.
I'll pay you later for this. - Later?
Let's see the dough, lady!
Pay up and take it away!
Wait, Sapna... my child!
I'm ashamed at how I
behaved with you this morning!
Forgive me... please!
Only I know how I've brought
up a girl who had no parents!
Forgive me, just this once!
You want money, don't you?
I've spoken to this gentleman
to lend you a thousand Rupees.
He has agreed.
You can work hard and repay him.
Come dear. Come.. come. Hello.
You want a thousand Rupees,
right? - Yes.
I want to borrow it...
I'll repay you in installments.
Your uncle is a gentleman.
Here's your reward.
As for you, you can have one, two...
five thousand. Any amount.
I only want a thousand.
Come on take it.
Please take it.
What are you doing?! Let me go! Uncle!
Don't be angry, baby.
Your uncle has sold you
to me for a bottle of whisky!
Let me go!
Don't come closer!
Stop there!
Stop, I say!
Not any closer, I say!
Leave me alone!
Uncle!
Leave me alone... Uncle!
Let me go!
Let me go!
Let me go!
You find yourself alone, don't you?
So let's cement the relationship
we are destined for.
Wipe your tears, Sapna.
Your own uncle has
turned out to be evil.
But can you this trust this stranger?
For a loaf of bread,
the innocent Babu turned into an animal.
His new name was Badshah.
A hardcore criminal...
who had nothing but contempt
for the law... Badshah!
I no longer carry a burden
on my conscience, Sapna.
I will leave this place right now,
if you wish.
Because anyone would hate
me after getting to know all this.
Anyone would go astray without
someone to guide him, Badshah.
I've brought some bread for you.
Have it.
I've brought it with
all my love and faith.
It's thanks to your love
that my wounds have begun to heal.
I'm sure, we will be happy
once I have you for my wife.
We can't live only on happiness
and togetherness, Badshah.
There's no bigger curse than poverty.
And no bigger sorrow than hunger.
Our love can help us make
a place in each other's heart.
But it won't help us live.
So I will make money one last time.
So much money that the word
"poverty" will be erased from our lives.
Aren't you ready, Sapna?
Have you forgotten?
Chanda's getting married today.
Bring him along, too.
Let's see how you look as a couple.
Sir, here.
Leave me.
Stop it! I said stop it!
Arrest him.
Stop!
Tell me, where is Badshah?
He won't turn up!
Go ahead and wait for him!
But mark my words... he won't come!
You're a lucky guy to drive
around in a rickshaw to get married!
I got them to bring a
mare for my wedding, you know.
There was this idiot who
fed it some chilies, and...
Out of my way!
Move. Move a side.
Move.
Move.
Move.
We've waited enough, dear.
And I've got to close the temple now.
Look it's pouring.
It appears as if there will be a storm.
Out to get married indeed!
Look at the bride!
Don't! Don't!
Father...
Father...
Father...
Go away.
Go away.
Father...
Father...
Father...
There's no one in sight...
who's child could this be?
A train from Bombay fell
into the river this evening.
200 people are feared
killed and over 300 injured.
The police and the fire brigade
are engaged in rescue operations.
Mother... - Where's my grandson?!
He was born after so many years!
- Control yourself, mother.
Any news of my son, the prince?
It's difficult to trace
a child in such a big accident.
We have found the bodies
of those who drowned. But...
What?!
Did you look for my
son among the corpses?!
Why?! Who asked you to
look for him among the dead?
We have prayed so much
for our prince to be born to us.
God cannot snatch him away from us!
He can't!
And this man looks
for my son among the dead!
It'll be all right... calm down.
Do something, Aditya! Please!
Of course...
but calm down. Everything will be okay.
Give me jalebis for 5 Rupees.
Give me some milk. My child is hungry.
I haven't yet eaten this.
Could I have some milk instead?
Here you are.
He's running a high fever. If I
don't rush him to a doctor, he might...
But where can I take him?
Hello. Police?
Who's that?
Why didn't you come to the temple?
What was more important
to you than meeting me?
They're laughing at me...
they're spitting on me!
And you are the culprit!
I was trapped, Sapna.
I had to choose between life and death.
So you've brought your son to me?!
You are a two-timer!
You have betrayed me!
You're a cheat! You're a married man!
Open the door!
Badshah! Open the door!
You will never live in peace! Never!
Break open the door!
You have played with my emotions!
You are a cheat!
Break open the door!
Badshah! You can't escape!
Where's Badshah? Where is he?
Stop, Badshah. Follow him.
Why did You give me this innocent child?
Why must You want me to forge
a relationship with a stranger?
Don't You know who I am?
I have no present and no future!
I am helpless. I can give this
child nothing except destruction!
A sinner like me cannot
bear this sacred burden.
You must certainly have
granted wishes to the devout.
So listen to a sinner today!
Take care of this child.
Protect him and bring him up.
You've been rotting in this
jail for six months now, Abdul.
If you wish,
I could alter the charges...
of drug-peddling and arms-running
against you in the court tomorrow.
And you will receive
the minimum of punishment.
What makes you so sympathetic?
Call it anything you wish...
sympathy or selfishness.
I want Badshah's whereabouts.
No, Abdul... don't!
No, Abdul... don't!
What worse can you do to me, Inspector?
You want to know his whereabouts.
And I won't even utter his name!
Why don't you forget Badshah, sir?
Just shut his file and be done with him!
No. Till recently,
I considered it my duty to nab Badshah.
But now, he is the reason why I live!
Till such time as I arrest him...
neither will I accept a promotion
nor a transfer from this place!
Should Badshah be dead,
I want to see his corpse.
And if he's alive and is absconding...
he will surely return some day.
Excuse me, mister...
Listen, dad! - What?! I have four sons.
You're not one of them.
So why call me "dad"?
It's like this, bhai (brother) - No!
I'm no Bhai (gangster)!
D'you want the cops to bump me off?
Can I ask you something as a friend?
- Friend?!
We've just met! How can we be friends?
Can't I ask you something as a human?
- Sure. Go ahead.
Where will I find Babu, the ironsmith?
Babu, the ironsmith?! I'll tell you!
Take this lane and turn right...
you will find a liquor-den on the left.
And there... - Will I find him there?
No! He doesn't drink.
Just go a little further...
You'll come to a betel-vendor.
- Will I find him there?
No way! The shop is closed.
And where will I find the ironsmith?
Forget this route.
I'll show you another way.
Go right ahead and... - Go on.
Go right ahead,
and you'll come to a banyan tree.
Don't sit under that tree for very long.
Why not? Is it haunted?
- No. I just mentioned it.
To the left of the tree,
you'll find a blind man.
He sells spectacles.
A blind man selling spectacles?!
He had this business
even before he was went blind.
Will I find him there?
- Why'd you find him there?
Babu has a great eyesight.
Why'd he go there?
Go right ahead and you'll
come across an old palace.
You'll find an old man in there.
- But not Babu, certainly.
No! If you ask the old man...
- He still won't tell me!
But why won't he? - Because he's deaf!
I have made a mistake
by asking you where Babu lives!
Where does he live?
Right here... that's the house.
This one? - Yes.
So why did you take me for a ride?
- You asked where you'd find him.
You didn't ask where he lives.
- My mistake, sir!
It's okay.
Here you are. - What's this?
Have some tea.
- Okay. Let's go left and...
I don't drink any tea! - Very well, son.
Don't you call me son! - Why not?
I have four fathers...
but none as big a bore as you are!
Have I been a bore?
Is this where Babu the ironsmith, lives?
I've been looking for you for 2 hours.
This is my business time.
What have you called me here for?
What have you done to yourself?!
And what are you doing for a living?
You're a ironsmith!
Where did you get that name from?
I can't figure it out!
I've called you over to
tell you everything, Bajrangi.
Ever since this child
walked into my life...
I have never behaved like Badshah.
How could I carry the
child with these hands?
Hands that had already held guns?
How could I stand on
my feet with the child...
feet, that have always
fled from the police and the law?
I was destined to meet
the evil Sultan, Bajrangi.
But I will not let my misfortune
to cast a shadow on this child's life.
I have never wanted
to be another Sultan.
Neither did I want to make
another Badshah out of him.
And so, I had to
finish Badshah for good.
Badshah is dead, Bajrangi.
How about Sapna? What news of her?
Sapna was a dream in Badshah's life.
The dream that was
shattered with Badshah.
As an iron smith,
I face just one truth in life.
This child. Raju.
I must give my son a nice future.
I must make a nice man out of him.
I have buried my past for his future.
The party at Annasaheb's
place was great.
You should've been there too, brother.
What's up, Mamta? Why aren't you eating?
I wonder if my son has eaten.
You must forget all that now.
Forget it? Forget my son?!
Must I forget the son I have nurtured
in my womb for nine long months?
No... I can never forget him!
Not even if I want to!
He was my son too.
We can't spend the rest of our lives,
just thinking about him.
Life doesn't slow down just because
something is snatched away, Mamta.
Get a hold on yourself... please.
It's a 30-minute drive from school.
But you've taken 2 and a half-hours.
You know how worried I am
when Raju doesn't return on time.
You've said what you wanted to.
- Tell me what's matter.
Now listen to what I went through.
- What happened?
Our government can't handle
Birth control and traffic control.
From the traffic jams we'd
think Madhuri Dixit was quitting town!
That too, in an open jeep!
And those political parties!
They take out their processions too!
Long live and down! Down!
That's a pack of lies.
Actually, he whistled to a girl.
And when she turned around...
he saw it wasn't a girl. It was a boy!
I almost died of laughter, dad!
Don't you say such things again!
May you be blessed with
the rest of my years too.
This is how the rich are, Bhola.
They lost their kid years ago.
But they're celebrating
his birthday with all the fanfare.
She's the trustee of the school.
Why bother with what she does?
She's throwing such a grand
party in the absence of her child.
Had he been around,
she'd have turned the world upside down.
How'd he be around?
A lost child is found sooner or later.
He must've died long ago.
Why are you saying such things?
May he get the rest of my life.
Could you please repeat
what you just said?
I will pray to God so
you find your son very soon.
Could you say that again?
- Please wipe your tears.
You will certainly find your son.
Your belief has strengthened my faith.
You say such nice things.
Who taught you all this?
My father did.
Your mother is a very fortunate lady.
My mother? I have no mother.
Who says you have no mother?
I am your mother.
You can call me mother... will you?
Sure.
So call me "mother"...say it once.
- Mother.
My son! Don't ever say
that you have no mother!
We were late in paying
your school-fees this time, Raju.
We won't be late again.
Tell me something, father. - What is it?
I met mother today.
You met mother?!
Who was it? Whose mother?
You have no mother!
I am both, father and mother to you.
You have no one but me.
And who's trying to entangle
you in a relationship?
You belong only to me!
You're my son... you'll always be!
No one can ever separate
you from me... no one!
Shadow him, Sawant.
He's the one who can lead me to Badshah.
Greetings, sir.
My son is out of the
cage after seven long years!
I didn't want those curs from
the police department to get us.
Which is why I didn't
come to meet you in prison.
Where's Badshah?
Hasn't Badshah met
you in all these years?
So Badshah has run away with the
money and has severed his links with us.
I don't want the money. I need Badshah.
With your return, I feel as
if my limbs have been restored to me.
But my real strength is Badshah.
And without one's strength,
even an able man is an invalid.
I want Badshah. At any cost.
Abdul! Where is Badshah? Tell me!
That's something I want you tell me.
And you're asking me?
- I know nothing about the cheat!
He has betrayed me.
Alcohol claimed my uncle's life...
and I had to dance my way here.
I live in the hope of
finding Badshah some day...
So I can kill him!
To extract revenge from Badshah
is the only goal of my life.
To help you reach your
goal will be my objective.
Come here, Raju... Come, son.
How are you? - I'm fine.
You're hungry, aren't you?
Look at what Mom has got for you today.
All this is only for my son!
Now tell me what you like.
I can't eat this food. - Why not?
If I eat that,
this food I've got will remain uneaten.
Dad will be angry and
he might even scold me.
In that case, you eat this
food and I'll finish this tiffin.
Dad won't scold you then, will he?
- No, he won't!
Sit down.
Why don't you eat? - I'll eat later.
Have you liked the food, Raju?
This is the first time I've
eaten something so good. How's my food?
Just like my son is... Lovable.
Will you go out with
me tomorrow? - Sure.
But not tomorrow. - Why not?
Good boys don't bunk classes.
Good boys don't disobey
their mothers either.
We'll have lots of fun.
And I'll buy you a lot of toys.
How about my classes?
Leave that to me.
I won't eat tonight, father. - Why not?
I'm not hungry.
Are you all right? - Of course.
It's just that I'm not feeling hungry.
Know what?
I'll go and give Sheru my food today.
Is it fun? - Oh yes! It is!
Like it? - Yes.
It's lovely!
I won't play... you're cheating!
Look at this.
Father!
Father... leave me alone!
Father!
My son does not need
favors from people like you.
He does not need people
like you pitying him, madam!
We are poor. But we are self-respecting.
And we live and die
within our resources.
Do not try to make us stretch ourselves.
What wrong have I done?
I'm just being affectionate to him.
And why would he love you less,
because I give him my love?
There are children in this
school who need the love of the rich!
Should you not find one here, go
to an orphanage and show your affection!
But please do me a favor; forget my son!
I want those toys, father...
you never buy me anything!
I want those toys!
- You want toys, isn't it?
I'll get them for you. Stop crying.
No matter what I have to do and how,
I'll fulfill every need of yours.
But I will not let you
accept alms from strangers!
I can't invite death for 25,000 Rupees.
I'm willing to take risks, all right.
But this is suicide!
You're the No.1 stuntman
in the film industry, Salim.
You've always been a daredevil;
and you're refusing me today?
No one will do it. - But...
Why won't anyone do it?
It's a highlight of my film.
I need someone to perform it.
Salim has refused to do it, sir.
So who will?
I can do it!
I need just one opportunity.
I can perform this dangerous stunt.
Believe me,
I will succeed in this test, sir.
But... - Just one opportunity, sir.
What have you gone and done, father?
How could you be so reckless?
Something could've happened to you!
So what would happen of me?
I don't want anything, father!
I want nothing!
All I need is your love...
I need you, father!
I need my father!
In your life lies my happiness, father.
Nothing matters more to me! Nothing!
Father!
I knew it. Only Badshah could
perform such a death-defying stunt.
Why are you so scared?
Take Raju in, Bajrangi.
What have you come here for? Go away.
That's no way to speak
to an old friend, Badshah.
In seven years, not once
did you come to meet me in prison.
Well... one gentleman
can forget another.
But no criminal ever forgets another.
I've been released from
jail after all these years.
Aren't you happy to see me?
I want to hear nothing
about my past life...
nor am I interested in you.
So just go away.
Sure, I'll go away.
After you return my money to me.
Which money are you talking about?
A proper innocent, aren't you!
How about racking your brains?
You had the money when
the police arrested me.
No. The police had confiscated
the money and the contraband.
I have nothing with me. - Nothing?
So where did you find this house,
the family and the kids?!
From the place where the cops caught me?
No... we have always had
an equal share in the loot.
But you have betrayed us to
further your own selfish interests!
Stop it! That's enough!
Another word from you...
and you will see the
Badshah I have now forgotten!
You can forget yourself, Badshah.
But there is Sultan.
He has not forgotten you.
And he won't, ever!
Remember, Sultan is the
dynamite I need to ignite...
to blow up your little
haven of joy and happiness!
You haven't hit me, Badshah.
You have struck Sultan!
Either Sultan will now
make you account for this...
or you will go to him
and give him an explanation.
I leave the decision to you.
I must now find out who Babu,
the ironsmith, is.
Hold it!
Sultan! I am here
to make you see reason.
Let not your dogs be
ambitious and turn hunters.
The farther they are from me,
the longer they will live.
You have met me after all these years.
And you're spitting
fire instead of being happy?
Doesn't our relation...
- What relationship, Sultan?
For a loaf of bread,
you turned me into a beast!
You made me commit every
crime to break the law!
Neither do I owe you anything anymore...
nor do I have anything to do with you.
You were a starving orphan...
I gave you a new life.
You must treat me like your father.
So don't play my father now!
I'm already a father, Sultan.
You don't have to tell me
how a father must love his son!
But let me tell you something...
our paths are different.
There are many ways to get
into the world of crime, Badshah.
But there is no way
you can walk out of it.
You've only been acquainted with me,
Sultan. You don't really know me.
When I take a decision,
I don't worry about the consequences.
Now that I've made up my mind,
I've come here for the last time.
I'll never come again. I'm leaving.
What's wrong with your memory, son?
You come here, if I wish you to.
And you leave, only if I wish you to.
Who will stop me?
Take a look.
Had Badshah still been alive...
he'd have buried all of you alive!
This is the hand of Babu, the ironsmith.
It has more strength
than Badshah ever possessed!
But it's bound by humanity!
And that's something you
can't understand... and never will!
This show of strength
is not only an indication...
it's the last warning to you!
No, Abdul! Don't make
the mistake of killing Badshah.
Time has made a smarter
and much stronger man of Badshah.
This was only a small test.
That Badshah lives is very
important for us. I need him.
And I will have him come back.
At any cost!
Greetings, uncle. - Greetings.
Does Babu, the ironsmith, live here?
- Of course. Please come in.
He's not in right now.
But he must be here any moment.
Please sit down.
I'll fetch some water for you.
What's your name? - Raju.
And how old are you? - Eight years.
I see...
which class are you studying in?
Class 4. - I see.
What is your father's name?
- Babu, the ironsmith, is my father.
D'you have your father's snap with you?
Of course. I always keep it in my book.
Really? And what's that for?
You always preserve God's pictures,
don't you?
Sure, I do. - And why do you?
Because...
I worship Him. I have faith in Him.
I love Him. - So you have the answer.
That's exactly why I preserve
my father's picture. Take a look...
He's the best father in the world.
I have to just think about something,
and he gets it for me.
He loves me very much.
We are very poor. And this
is a locality of the impoverished.
Every other child goes
to the municipal schools.
But my father sends me
to the best school in town.
What does your father do for a living?
Can't you see? He owns this workshop.
He slogs day in and day out,
so I can get a decent education.
He has a friend.
Someone called Inspector Pradhan.
My father wants me to follow
in the inspector's footsteps.
Father!
This is my father, uncle.
And you... I haven't asked your name.
Inspector Pradhan.
- Inspector Pradhan?
Go on in, Raju.
That's a lovable kid.
He has imbibed lofty ideals
and exemplary values... from you.
Babu, the iron smith...
I've been on the look-out
for a criminal, for seven years now.
And while I waited, there were
many opportunities for promotions.
But I turned them all down.
Which is why I'm
still just an Inspector.
But I feel as if I have
gained much more than I have lost.
Look at this statue of Lord Buddha.
He was called Siddharth. One night,
he left his wife and son, Rahul...
and went into the forests
in His quest for truth.
He returned an enlightened
man after many years.
And his wife went to him with their son.
She was very angry.
She vent her ire on Lord Buddha.
"What right did you have to snatch
a father from his son", she asked.
"How could you forsake your wife?
Why this injustice?", she enquired.
And Buddha replied,
"Your husband was a man named Siddharth"
"This child's father
was a man named Siddharth"
"The man who walked
out on you was Siddharth"
"But the one who stands
here now is Buddha, not Siddharth"
Without the soul, a body is nothing.
The man I've hunting for
years is someone else, Babu.
And the man I've met
today is yet someone else.
Do forgive me.
I must say,
you're not living on borrowed time.
You have really shaped your own destiny.
I was wrong.
And what you said was right, Sawant.
Shut those files on Badshah.
He died long ago.
All the children will have
their parents attending the function.
Come along, dad.
I haven't been to a function
in all my life. So what'll I do there?
I have so much of work anyway. Go on...
I might not personally be with you.
But you will have my blessings.
Why're you running away?
Now look; I've no relation with you,
nor will I have ever one.
I have no one but my father.
Nothing matters more
to me than his happiness.
I beg of you!
Please don't try to meet me again.
But...
They're waiting for you at
the meeting in the Board Room, madam.
Mom. Mom.
In such cases, the patients
are prone to physical breakdowns.
They collapse under their depressions.
With the injection I gave her,
she will regain consciousness soon.
I was told you sang
a very beautiful song.
And who taught you the song?
- My father did, uncle.
He's the best father in the world!
We are poor, but he has never
let me lack anything in life.
Your father's a good man, Raju.
Won't you introduce me to him?
Certainly.
- Okay, lovely. Come on.
Welcome... welcome!
Please sit down.
I'll go and call my father.
Whose picture is this, Raju?!
- It's my father.
And this? - It's me.
What's wrong, uncle?
Has something gotten into your eyes?
One can't hide happiness, son!
I have found the treasure
of my life in a poor man's hut!
I'll call my father.
Where's he? - He was here.
There's no one here.
- I wonder where he's gone.
What is this? Read it.
"Babu, the iron smith, meet
me at my place immediately. - Oberoi"
You asked me to come here.
Welcome, Babu.
The storm outside is nothing...
compared to the one raging in my heart.
How can I help?
You're the only one who
can stave off this storm.
I'm an iron smith, sir...
I understand things clearly spoken.
It happened seven years ago.
In a train accident...
we were separated from our son.
Follow me.
This is the room in which
our son first opened his eyes.
We've preserved everything that
belonged to our innocent little son.
It's only...
it's only my wife Mamta who
believes that our son is alive.
And so, she celebrates
his birthday every year.
She even carefully puts
away his gifts and mementos.
Why are you telling me all this?
Because I'm his father...
Mamta's his mother.
Don't you want to know who the child is?
That is my child!
How did you find my son?
- Which son are you talking about?
Don't pretend, Babu! Raju is my son!
I'm not pretending to be ignorant, sir!
You're trying to snatch my son from me!
Raju is my son! My son!
I've seen Raju's photograph
in your house, Babu.
And this can't be a co-incidence.
Mamta just can't stop
showering her love on him.
That's no co-incidence!
What once used to be a lullaby
Mamta sang for the baby...
is today a song on Raju's lips!
This is no co-incidence either!
Your Raju is our lost prince.
When Mamta gets to
know her son is alive...
she'll get a new lease of life.
To begin with,
no one can ever separate me from my son.
That's because I can't
live a moment without him
He is my life. My very life.
And he's my blood!
Blood? What blood are you talking about?
Your son must've measured 5 kilos,
when he was a year old.
My son weighs 30 kilos.
It's my sweat that flows in his veins.
He has grown only because
I have provided for him.
I will see who separates my son from me!
It's all over.
I can't make you see reason anymore.
Go ahead! Take all the wealth you want!
Buy yourself a factory!
Here's a blank check.
Fill in a sum that will...
keep poverty away from your
family for at least 7 generations!
But please return my son to me!
Please return my son to me!
You're a father.
And you're trying to "buy" a son.
Okay, I take all this wealth. And now...
I will pay you back for your wealth.
I will be a slave to
you for the rest of my life.
In return, please give that child to me.
Forget the child, give me
the cradle that lies in your room.
That's the cradle your
wife is sentimental about.
Will you be able to give it to me?
Will you?
"You had only found the child...
you're not his father, Babu"
"Will you snatch his parents'
rights and mar the child's future?"
"Raju is his flesh and blood"
Where have you brought me?
- This is your destination.
What does that mean?
I can't even touch Badshah
because Sultan wants him alive.
But you must avenge your humiliation.
And you're free to do it.
That is Badshah's house.
My name is Mamta.
The woman who did not have a
child even after many years of marriage.
I prayed so very much
and God gave me a son.
And He snatched that
child away from me too.
I have begged of God
for seven long years!
But He was always silent.
For seven long years, I missed my son...
I cried for him...
but God did not return my child to me!
You mean more than God to me...
because you have given
my son a new lease of life.
You have shaped his destiny.
You educated him,
instilled in him good values...
and made a good human being out of him.
God could not give me the boon.
But you can today give
it away to me as charity.
I beg of you...
please return my child to me!
Please give Raju to me.
Should you be stone-hearted...
no human will ever have
faith in humankind again.
Break your silence... give me my son.
Please don't refuse me.
Please don't turn me down.
Let's go, Mamta.
Your tears could
perhaps even move God...
but not this man.
His silence speaks for him.
Let's not face any more humiliation.
Let's go.
No!
Hello, Police station.
Aaditya Oberoi here.
I have no right to be forgiven by you.
Nor am I worthy of your love.
I'm the unfortunate girl
who has ruined her own life.
I'm the cursed girl who
had happiness at her feet...
but who squandered it away in suspicion.
And here I was today,
to kill you with my own hands!
But I have realized...
you are a great human being.
I'm shattered, Badshah...
I'm plunged in darkness.
I need your support; I need you.
I need your love.
Forgive me, Badshah.
I take a pledge today.
I shall live only for you.
I will belong only to you.
Babu Lohar has set an example
in humanity and kindness.
According to the testimony
of Inspector Pradhan...
the court reaches the conclusion
that Raju's real parents...
are Mr. And Mrs. Oberoi.
Babu Lohar is directed to hand
over the child to his real parents.
The court is adjourned.
Let's go, Raju... - No.
I will not leave my father.
I'm going nowhere!
No! Father!
Father!
No... leave me alone!
I won't leave my father!
Let me go to him!
No... leave me alone!
Let me go to him!
No... leave me alone!
I won't leave my father!
Badshah shares a very old relationship
with this piece of bread.
It was with this piece of bread
that I turned him into an animal.
He lived off me. He was my faithful dog.
And he now rebels against me,
the moment he turns human again?
No! I don't want the human!
I want my animal again!
I want Badshah!
I only want my Badshah!
Look at this fire engine!
With its lights blinking...
Know what's the best? The jumbo-jet.
I want to go to my father.
Eat anything you want.
Do you want something else?
I want to go to father.
- Have some sweets, son.
Mother! I can't live without father!
Please take me to him, Mom!
I can't live without him.
Mother, Aditya...
I want to ask you for something.
Now that I have found my son,
I've realized...
that I have perhaps lost him forever.
To see their children happy
is the one desire all parents have.
But I have made my son
sacrifice his happiness...
for my own selfishness!
But I'll never be a self-centered woman,
because I'm a mother.
How can I snatch my son's happiness
just because I want him back?
No... I'll be content to see my
son living happily anywhere he chooses.
He may live with anyone he chooses.
In his happiness lies my happiness.
I wish to return Raju's joys to him.
I you to support me.
Yes.
I don't want to lose, even as I win.
And he'd win, even after losing.
Who are you?
- Who are you? What do you want?
No! Raju!
Who are you?
Where are you taking the child?
Give this bread to Babu...
he'll explain.
Babu! They've taken my son away!
Save him.
Once we took Raju home, we
realized he couldn't live without you.
So we were on our way here...
when some gangsters
forcibly took him away.
Who were they? - I don't know.
But they sent this bread
for you and said you'd know.
Take him away!
Badshah's life lies trapped in this kid.
In exchange for the kid's life...
I will make Badshah my slave again.
Badshah was,
is, and shall always remain my slave!
Don't.
I had told you not to
mess with my life, Sultan!
I will have your life today!
Badshah, my son! I'm like your father!
For the sake of the
relationship I can never forget!
You had left me!
I had no other way
to bring you back to me.
I am obsessed with you, my son!
But you love that boy.
So take him and go someplace far away.
Go on, son.
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Leave me. Father!
Father!
Leave me. Father!
You have revolted against
me because of this bloody kid!
You will be punished, Badshah!
Father!
I will punish you in the
most spine-chilling manner!
These are the killer dogs that
will feast on your innocent boy...
and you will be able
to do nothing about it!
Every traitor and ingrate
is punished with death!
And the death of this child
will kill the human in you!
It will kill you!
No, Sultan!
Father! Help!
Father!
- Raju!
Father!
No, Sultan!
You can't do this! Let him go!
Father!
- Leave my son alone!
Father! Help!
Raju!
- Father!
Let him go! Raju!
- Father!
Let him go, please!
- Help, father!
Father!
- Raju!
Help, father!
- Raju!
Leave my son alone! Let him go!
Oh my Lord!
Help, father!
Raju!
Help, father!
Father!
Help, father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Kill him!
Please protect my father, God.
Raju!
- Father!
Abdul!
Abdul!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Go there, Sawant.
Raju! Oh my God!
What's happened to you, my son?!
You're bleeding! Are you okay?
Where are you going, father?
Please don't leave me.
I want no one else except you.
I can't live without you!
I will not let you go!
You will stay with your parents.
And that's an order!
Do you understand? Do you hear me?
Go on!
I will obey your every command, father.
I know you can't spend
a moment without me.
But if you want me to live
with my parents... that's okay.
I can do anything for
your happiness, father.
And what you're doing is
for my future and welfare, isn't it?
I can't live without you, father.
But I will try to do it,
just to obey you.
I'm leaving, father...
Raju!
- Father!
Raju!
- Father!
Raju!
- Father!
My son!
- Don't ever leave me, father... Never.
My son!
- Don't ever leave me, father... Never.
Don't ever leave me, father...
Our happiness and joys
lie in our son, Babu.
But without you,
there's a void in his life.
For his sake then...
can't you live with us
as a member of our family?
Father!
When God is happy,
everyone reaches his goal.
My life is made too!
It's thanks to you,
that I'm a father today.
We have a son.
And he has taken after me.
Really? Let me take a look.
He does look like his father.
