Mother, mother….!

Mother, I am famished. Serve the breakfast quickly.

Why don’t you get a bride riding atop the horse?

Oh mother, not again.

Serve the breakfast quickly. I am famished.

Give me a toast. Fast.

You are always in a hurry. You’re not in a hurry to get married?

- Please give me some milk. - Are you listening to me or not?

Here…

Thank you, mother.

Thank you…? I am talking about your marriage.

Why do you always keep on avoiding this thing?

Sounds like a baby…

Lovely kid.

Guard, whose child is it? Who had come here!

- No one had come here, sir. - Didn’t you see anyone?

No sir, I didn’t see anyone coming here.

Mother, the guard says he didn’t see anyone coming here.

Someone leaving the child in this way…. What does it means?

- A case of blackmailing? - What are you talking?

Yes, times are bad now. It can be possible, someone might…

try to blackmail us.

- Why would someone blackmail us? - For the sake of money.

- Accusing us of kidnapping. - Kidnapping?

Yes, the proof is there in your arms. Anyone can implicate us by lodging…

A complaint with the cops for kidnapping a child.

Who will dare raise his eye on us?

Listen to me. Let’s hand him over to the cops.

Cops are not as affectionate as mothers are, son.

I won’t hand over such a small kid to the cops.

Then let’s leave him in an orphanage.

Leave for your office. I will do whatever has to be done with him.

Okay, go.

Look, who is here. Look, kiddo who is here.

Great! So many toys…?

Looks like he has won over your heart.

Of course yes, I lost my heart the moment I saw him.

Just see him lovingly, He will win over your heart too.

Shanti, keep the water ready. Hold him. I’ll get tea for you.

- Hold him. - Come to me…

It’s astonishing, you have enticed mother.

And you’re trying to entice me by giving me a smile.

Fine. I am ready to be Friends with you. Okay?

Raj… - What is it, mother?

It’s time to feed the baby. Get him here.

Coming…

Kiddo, pray to the Lord. C’mon… glory be to the Lord.

- Good morning, madam. - Good morning.

- You people….? - We are here to take this kid.

- This kid? Why? - Actually the kid you are holding…

Belongs to our client who is looking out for him.

This kid is not lost. Someone has deliberately left him here.

We don’t want to argue. Just hand over the kid to us.

No! This is impossible! I will not hand over the kid.

Look, we respect you. That’s why we didn’t take the help of law.

We don’t wish that a woman like you should be defamed…

We also don’t want that you should be charged of kidnapping.

Mr Advocate… you are just three… I can hire 300 advocates!

Go to any court. You can book us under any charge.

But we will not return this kid at any cost!

Right. Because only we have the right on the kid now.

No, only my client has the right on the kid.

- Who is your client? - The mother of this kid.

Why doesn’t she come here? Let her come before us.

I wish to see that stone-hearted mother who left him at our doorstep.

And suddenly after so many months her motherly love has sprung up.

Call her.

So you are that mother, the foe of love.

Why did you leave him at our threshold quietly?

Your son Raj will answer you.

Raj…? How is my son connected to all this?

- Ask your son. - Raj, what do they mean?

- Mother, give them the kid. - No! Never…

Just now you said you’ll hire 300 advocates for this kid.

- Now what’s wrong with you? - Nothing. Give them the kid.

No…I wish to know about the girl. And how are you related to her?

Nothing… just hand over the kid. Leave the kid.

- Let go of him! - Give me the kid!

Beware! If you touch him!

It means you are definitely related to this girl.

I will take the charge of kidnapping on me if you don’t tell the truth.

I will get defamed. I’ll land behind the bars.

No mother! Don’t say such things.

Fine, if you want to hear the bitter truth.

But you will be sad after hearing all this.

- You’ll be in a pain. - Let the pain be mine.

I’m ready to undergo it… Tell me, what the truth is.

Then hear it with a heavy heart.

Your Honour, the accused and affluent Jagdishchand who…

has gone astray, honour of any poor, young and beautiful girl…

means a play-thing to them.

And about Rape!

It is his hobby to...

...defile someone.

On the evening of 30th, the accused Jagdishchand told my client Tara…

To complete the statement of accounts.

When Tara went into his room with the statement…

The accused Jagdishchand locked the door.

And the accused,...

...Jagdishchand forced himself...

...upon her and defiled my client, Tara!

Your Honour it will be better if Mr Sharma tells us the difference…

Between willingness and force.

Willingness means the document of love.

- Is it? - And force means the reality…

and the misdeed of this dreaded animal.

Let’s leave all this. What did you say?

The rape was committed…

- ...on 30 th April, right? - Yes…

- When was the complaint lodged? - 3rd May.

It means according to you the rape was committed on 30th April.

And the complaint was lodged on 3 rd May. After three days…

Your honour, the truth is that rape never happened.

Tara is a characterless and greedy girl.

You can tell that just watching her.

Sex is her trump card!

Every night, she uses her...

...trump card in the brothels.

This is a lie, Your Honour. My client Is a respectable lady.

Is honour only meant for women? What about men?

Don’t men have the right to live with dignity?

You have insulted my respectable client.

By believing a lady who has a ***, you are trying…

to implicate my client in a rape-case sans the proof.

I object Your Honour, Mr Verma is accusing my client of having…

a loose character by using wrong words.

I ask, does he has any proof to prove that my client has …

a loose character? Have you any proof?

Not one, I have several proofs, My Lord. Several proofs…

Yes.

My first witness is Navrangi the betel leaf vendor.

Yes, Tara always comes in the night to have a betel leaf at my shop.

She spots her victim from there.

Because many reputed people visit my shop.

And she wears the stain of betel leaf...

...on her in such a manner that anyone can...

...go head over heals for her.

- Second witness…. - I sell flowers in the morning…

...and in the evening I sell broach.

Tara daily visits me with her new customer by being decked up.

She buys garland and makes her customer smell and wear it.

And after that, what should I say…. I feel ashamed.

Don't be shy, mister!

Tell everything to the court.

She then kisses her customer right there.

Third witness!

Sir, I drive auto-rickshaw.

Tara has hired my auto-rickshaw many times to find her victims.

There are some nights, when she doesn't finds someone.

So, she makes me her victim and takes away...

...all money that I earned in a day.

Greetings, sir. My Lord I came here for I wanted to become a hero.

But I couldn’t make it because of my height.

That's how I ended up as a dealer.

Sir, I might be a dealer,...

...but I only earn through right means.

Sir, Tara is...

...an uncrowned 'superstar' of human trafficking!

Sir!

Since past two years, I have been daily...

...bringing new customers for this girl.

Which not just keeps her...

...pockets full but mine too.

- Fifth witness! - I am the waiter of Chadar Badal Hotel.

Everytime, I change the bedsheet, Tara gets a new customer.

- The sixth! - Sir, I'm the watchman of Gulfaam Hotel.

All of Tara's customers are wealthy.

Their pockets are always filled with currency notes.

Even my pocket gets filled when...

...she brings them to our hotel.

Your Honor, after taking into account these proofs the truth is right before you.

The decision lies with you. That’s all Your Honor.

After taking into account the statement of all the witnesses and…

after carefully examining the circumstances…

The court has reached on a conclusion. The accusations…

levied on the accused Jagdishchand is totally baseless.

Therefore the courts orders that he should be set free.

Okay sir.

- Excuse me. - Yes please?

- I want to meet the advocate. - Do you have an appointment?

- No. - Then it’s not possible at all.

The advocate is very busy for the next 10 days.

- Can you tell me about his fees? - 5000 bucks for an hour.

I am willing to pay 50,000 that too for 5 minutes.

I wish to meet him right away.

- 50,000? - Yes!

- Yes? - Sir, there is this mister who is…

Offering 50,000 bucks just for a five minute meeting.

Tell him to wait.

I have studied your case. Your work will be done.

- Fine. - Okay?

Thank you, sir.

Send him in.

Congratulations sir, Congratulations!

I am Rajkumar.

I have become your fan after watching you fight the case….

In the court.

You saved the *** using your beautiful tactics.

You have worked wonders!

Thank you!
