Mera Saaya

Look what has happened to my daughter, doctor.

What has happened to Geeta?

Geeta has been so ill and you didn't even inform me.

I'm not a magician to wave a wand and cure the patient immediately.

Bag, please.

How was I to know that it was such a serious disease?

I thought it was just a fever.

But you ought to have informed me.

Before going abroad, Mr Thakur,

..entrusted the responsibility of this family to me.

If something goes wrong, what will I tell him?

Munshi, don't just stand and stare at me.

Call the nursing home for oxygen. Wait, I'll make the call.

Immediately send a telegram that Geeta is seriously ill,

..and that Mr Thakur must return to India immediately.

Go on.

My daughter will recover soon, won't she, doctor?

Do it quick.

Geeta...

Geeta.

Geeta.

I'm back, Geeta. I'm here.

Geeta.

Geeta!

"Wherever you set foot..."

"My shadow will be right there with you."

"Wherever you set foot..."

"My shadow will be right there with you."

"My shadow..."

"My shadow..."

"My shadow..."

"My shadow..."

It looks like the inspector.

Greetings, inspector. - Greetings. How are you, Munshi?

Is Mr Thakur at home? - Yes. Is it something important?

Yes, it's important. I need to see him at once.

But he doesn't consider it necessary to meet anyone.

The thing is... - Ever since his wife died,

..neither does he meet anyone nor does he go anywhere.

I know that. Just tell him that Inspector Daljit is here.

That's no good. He doesn't wish to be bothered by anyone.

Greetings, inspector. - Greetings.

Are you here to meet Thakur? - Yes, it's very important,

..or I wouldn't have bothered you. - I'm glad you have come.

He'll at least find a distraction. Please come with me.

"I would know you are missing me,"

"..should your tears ever flow."

"I would know you are missing me,"

"..should your tears ever flow..."

"My tears won't be far behind,"

"..for this melancholy belongs to the both of us."

"Every place you head to,"

"..my shadow will move with you."

"Wherever you set foot..."

"My shadow will be right there with you."

This is how he has been.

He's always gazing at Geeta's portrait and listening to her song.

He just doesn't eat anything.

He prefers to remain like this.

Son...

The inspector wants to meet you.

Please sit down. - Thank you.

Do you recognise her?

This is Geeta's photo. With you... - No. It's not her photo.

Please listen carefully to what I wish to say to you.

Presently, we're dealing with a very strange case.

We recently had an encounter with a gang of bandits.

During the encounter, two bandits were killed,

..and a fleeing girl was arrested.

'Arrest them! Don't let them escape.'

'Does anyone recognise them? - No, sir.'

'You needn't be afraid. They're dead.'

'Don't be scared. Go closer and take a look.'

'What's there to be scared of? - Forgive me, sir.'

'Only the police don't know them.'

'Or else, every child in the village is scared of them.'

'They're bandits from Suryavar Singh's gang.'

'They're feared far and wide. They've killed hundreds of men.'

'But, sir, you have accomplished only half the job yet.'

'Why only half? - You ought to have got their chief.'

'If he lives, he'll form another gang.'

'There's nothing to be scared of.'

'They won't form a gang anymore.'

'Get down.'

'Move.'

'Any one of you knows this girl?'

'Do you recognise her?'

'Raise the lamp.'

'I know.'

'Very well too.'

'At the Goddess's fair last year, she was dancing near the temple.'

'It was night time.'

"My earring fell down..."

"My earring fell down at the marketplace in Bareilly."

"My earring fell down at the marketplace in Bareilly."

"My earring fell down..."

"My earring fell down at the marketplace in Bareilly."

"My earring fell down..."

"My lover came home quietly, with his gaze lowered."

"My lover came home quietly, with his gaze lowered."

"He insisted on making me wear the earring."

"I begged him and told him not to force me."

"I begged him and implored, but he wouldn't let go of my wrist."

"What happened then?"

"Then? My earring fell..."

"In the scuffle we had."

"My earring fell down at the marketplace in Bareilly."

"My earring fell..."

"I once stood on the roof of my house."

"I once stood on the roof of my house."

"He joked and told me to come down."

"Either come down, or throw me your ring as a souvenir."

"There on the roof, I blushed and felt so very shy."

"What happened then?"

"God! The earring fell while we fell in love."

"My earring fell down at the marketplace in Bareilly."

"The earring fell..."

"In the garden, my lover sorted out my knotted tresses."

"In the garden, my lover sorted out my knotted tresses."

"He held me tightly and said, he was smitten by me."

"I lowered my eyes, but I said nothing..."

"I said nothing, I only smiled."

"When my lover teased me, we got into a fight..."

"There was a fight."

"What happened then?"

"The earring fell... Why must I say how?"

"My earring fell down at the marketplace in Bareilly."

"The earring fell..."

'She's a bandit!'

'Don't let her go!'

'She's no woman. She's a witch! She's a slur on womanhood. A slut!'

'Silence, Chaudhary!'

'Constable, record Mr Chaudhary's testimony. – Yes sir.'

'Seize and list the things from where this woman was arrested.'

You know, Rakesh is always lost in his wife's memories.

That's right. - Her funeral pyre,

..hasn't even cooled yet, and you've started all this.

I'm terribly sorry to have asked Thakur and you to come here.

But believe me, I'm helpless too. I must get over these formalities.

See, you do whatever. I have a request.

Please don't call Rakesh here again.

I want him to overcome his sorrow.

If you keep calling him here,

..he will never be able to overcome his grief.

I'll do my best, believe me.

I have all the sympathies for Thakur.

As far as possible, I won't ask him to come here again.

Thank you. Goodbye. - Goodbye.

"Clouds gather in my eyes, lightning flashes in sighs."

"Embrace me please, my love."

"Clouds gather in my eyes, lightning flashes in sighs."

"Embrace me please, my love."

"Clouds gather in my eyes..."

"As if they hold intoxicating wine,"

"..my two eyes are full of mischief."

"As if they hold intoxicating wine..."

"As if they hold intoxicating wine,"

"..my two eyes are full of mischief."

"They shall keep hiding behind my eye-lashes."

"And when I feel shy, I shall give you a come-hither look."

"Clouds gather in my eyes, lightning flashes in sighs."

"Embrace me please, my love."

"Clouds gather in my eyes..."

"I'm madly in love."

"I'm the woman of your dreams."

"I'm madly in love."

"I'm madly in love."

"I'm the woman of your dreams."

"Coming from our previous lifetime,"

"I'm your beloved."

"Accept me as yours in this lifetime too."

"Clouds gather in my eyes, lightning flashes in sighs."

"Embrace me please, my love."

"Clouds gather in my eyes..."

Thakur has said in plain words that she's not his wife.

The proceedings in the court begin tomorrow.

It's necessary for us to get to her.

Come what may.

I told you I didn't put my hand in anyone's pocket.

You're here again! What has she done this time?

She put her hand in a man's pocket, right outside our police station.

When he caught her at it, she started abusing him.

Lock her up in the cell. - This guy's blind, inspector.

Ask him to put on glasses! - Move it, old lady...

Get up.

Case number 227. State versus Raina.

The charges levelled against you will be read out to you.

You are charged for colluding with bandits,

..Ganga Singh and Ishwar Singh who fell to police bullets,

..and Suryavar Singh, who is a fugitive of the law with,

..whom you formed a gang with the intention of robbing and killing.

On the night of January 24, in village Alouni,

..you raided the liquor shop of one Jhumarmal Paumal.

Under the pretext of performing a dance,

..you and your gang assembled the villagers at one place,

..and helped your other accomplices to rob the place.

Besides, you stabbed and wounded the village chief with your dagger.

Under Sections of 120, 396,

..and 326 of the Indian Penal Code, you will be tried in court.

I have concluded my arguments in this case yesterday.
