Parinda (The Pigeon) (Parinda)

Anna here.

Who is it?

Keep him alive till I get there.

One of Musa's men.

I see. Put him in a box and send it back to Musa.

He does not understand business.

Anna Seth! Cops!

- Run! It's Inspector Prakash! - Tell 'em upstairs!

Cover the boxes.

- Where's that man? - Mirani, find him.

Where's that man?

Are you trying to frighten me?

- I know he is here. - Then go... find him.

- He is not here, sir. - Go, find him.

- He's rotting in the gutter. - You'll rot in the same gutter.

It's rare to find an honest man in India. Treat him well.

Go on, get some proof. I will come with you myself.

You won't come, Anna. I'll drag you to jail myself.

And remember... your luck won't last forever.

This is Musa's work.

First he sends his man... then he informs the cop.

- I'll fix Musa. - No not you. Send Kishen.

Stop!

Musa!

You are the first man to reach me alive, Kishen.

I've always wanted to meet you.

Now you've met me.

- Sure, I have. - What do you say?

Give him this message... I desire peace.

Peace? Bullshit!

What's this worth? Two bucks...? That crooked son of a bitch!

Inspector Prakash? Oh... tell him to call 824331, it's urgent.

- You meet him today. - No, not today.

Why?

Ah, yes, your brother comes back today... why don't you say so?

Remember when we first met...

Your father dead, your brother crying, and you...

Get lost!

- I am hungry. - Don't worry. I'll take care of you.

What's your name?

Karan. What's yours?

- Paro. Like to feed the pigeons? - Yes... Give.

This is my brother Kishen.

This is mine, Prakash.

Here. You take some too.

- Leave my money alone. - Trying to frighten me?

- Don't hit him. - You beggar! You here too?

- We don't beg! Papa had a farm. - Why come to the city then?

To earn money.

Money? For that you need guts. You got guts?

My brother can do anything!

Anything! See that man?

Rob his bag and run!

- Let's go. - Coward!

My brother is not a coward.

He can do anything! Show him.

Run! Show them! Run!

You sure did run that day.

I had too. My brother was hungry.

You're all childhood friends... Tell Karan to speak to Prakash.

No, Anna... keep Karan out of this mess.

Mess? I see... Well... don't blame me.

...if Prakash gets killed... Someday.

Prakash has raided our godown at Sewri.

- Where is the stuff? - Here!

Look at this! Heroin in the oil tins!

Speak up!

Don't kill me! I'll tell you! Tonight, at sea...

Check that car out.

Stop here.

It's Mirani. Give him a joy ride.

Well?

The section's hot. Prakash knows about your stuff.

And send my share with Abdul tonight.

Prakash knows about tonight.

I see.

Let the stuff remain under the water tonight.

Tonight it comes out and Prakash goes in.

The cops will be with him.

- When he's alone. - How?

When he meets your brother.

Then he'll be alone. No cops.

Leave my brother alone.

Stop! Stop!

Where were you? I looked all over!

All the others left and there I was, all alone.

Six years in America and no one welcomes me?

No music, no flowers, no friends.

- You've grown up. - Where were you?

- I'd gone to buy your ticket. - Ticket? What ticket?

You're going to Delhi just now.

- Delhi? For what? - I've fixed up a job for you.

Job? What's all this?

I haven't met Paro and Prakash... How can I go away?

- Why isn't Prakash here? - He's not in Bombay.

- And Paro? - She's in Poona.

I know! Shall I tell you something?

We wrote to each other everyday!

- You're still so childish! - More so... more so.

I'm glad I came back.

There I was rotting in America.

My brother, Paro and Prakash! They're all here!

Hurry up. You'll miss your flight.

Stop picking on me. You're just like...

...a nagging wife? - Exactly!

Indian Airlines regrets to announce the delay of flight IC182 for Delhi.

The flight is expected to take off 2 hours later.

The Americans are right.

Our flights are always on time!

What are we going to do for four hours?

Now home! I need a bath... Then I'll go and meet...

Not meet Paro and Prakash. I'll go to Delhi.

You'll go, won't you?

Of course, I will. Have I ever said no to you?

For you!

Remember this tune?

Remember what you told my principal about Paro...?

You introduced her as my future wife!

He later asked me who she was.

I simply said she's a girl. And he asked what my brother does.

I said he must be busy... What do you, by the way?

We run an edible oil factory!

We've made it big!

Imagine the slums of Dongri... and this apartment at Malabar Hill!

Your room.

It stinks, because it has just been painted.

It isn't a stink... it's a fragrance!

The fragrance of my brother's love!

The fragrance of Paro's love!

Paro? Wow... And Delhi?! I won't go to Delhi!

Paro's a teacher now. She'll soon be here.

I must give her some lessons in love, mustn't I?

You aren't going away forever! The moment things cool down...

- Cool down? What is that? - Nothing. C'mon.

Idiot! Don't tell me my room's stinking too!

It's terrible. You've always done the hard work.

From now on, I relax. You work.

- Yeah, sure... - I mean, you relax. I work.

I'll relax, the day you bring Paro home as your bride.

She's a good cook, too...

Chicken-biryani! Mutton palao!

- Feeling hungry? - Yes.

- What will you have? - Bhelpuri!

You stay here.

I'll get it... Freshen up. You've got to go.

- Now you're after me like... - Like?

Like an over indulgent father.

Go and have a bath.

Kishen?

He's not at home. Who is it?

I'm Inspector Prakash.

Prakash! You!

Karan! When did you arrive?

- This morning! - You could've told me...

Kishen told me you weren't here.

Let's meet.

Yes, let's meet. Get Paro also.

She's returning this evening from Poona.

Let's go and receive her together!

- Yeah... okay! let's meet... - Same place, as usual.

Sure! Same usual place!

Brother! Prakash is here! I'm going to meet him!

Stop! Karan!

Stop, Karan!

Why is Abdul following my brother?

If anything happens to my brother, Anna Seth...

Are you blind?!

- Karan! I'm afraid. - Don't be afraid! I'm here!

- Don't leave me alone! - Never!

Hey! Mister, you're not allowed to enter this place.

Who is it?

- Blind, eh? - Yes... yes.

- Help me, sir! - Sure... I'll help you.

- I'll help you to jail. - Thanks... er...

I mean, no!

- Karan! - Prakash!

Blind, eh?

Wow! A jeep, a gun a real cop!

And you? Yankee!

- Well, you look it! - What?

A dump cop!

You have become what you had set out to be.

The day I became a cop... I missed you very much.

- I'd have embraced you! - So do it now!

I was very lonely without you, Karan.

Why were you? Kishen was here. Wasn't he?

Yes, he was. I want to talk to you about Kishen.

And I want to talk to you about Paro!

Look what I've got... A wedding ring!

- You'll let me marry her, won't you? - Well, you ask her yourself.

Why ask? I'll just look into her eyes and slip the ring...

She'll be dumbstruck!

She'll coyly ask me, "What is this?"

I will then look deep into her eyes and say...

You will have to marry me now, Paro!

You have worn the ring, after all!

I will then take her hand in mine and...

This is not Paro's hand... it's mine!

It's a friend's hand.

Who? Why?
