Striker (Yun Hua Raat Ye) (Striker)

Excuse me, will you take me to Malvani?

Have you gone crazy?

Go take the Taxi and burn it. - Don't go if you don't want to.

Why are you getting angry? - l'm getting angry?

Don't you know what's going on in the city?

Fool.

Excuse me.

You're going to Malvani now?

lt's not safe there.

Here, have a drink. - No.

Have a little? - No.

What the...

Show me your licence.

Back it up. Park it behind.

Hey, who is that?

Stop.

Suryakant Sarang.

Why are you here?

l live in Malvani, sir.

Sector 4, behind the old compound.

Who are you? King Kong?

Throw him in the van.

Farooque sir knows me.

So? Should l welcome you?

Farooque sir isn't on duty today, now?

He is, sir. l just heard him on the wireless.

Of course! He's here to protect

....his community from being massacred.

Rubbish.

You police officers are talking like fools.

The report doesn't match the logbook at all.

Sir, everything happened so quickly that we didn't get the time.

You didn't get the time?

Tell me, why is the time of the police firing...

...different in the logbook and the report?

Those who've been taken into custody...

...their statements have been taken but not recorded.

Sir, you would've got the entire report tomorrow.

Shut up. - Sorry, sir.

Sir, a Suryakant Sarang...

...was trying to enter into Malvani through Charkop.

Says that he knows you.

Last evening l met the 12 Mohalla committees...

...the trustees of the three temples, and the priests.

There was no tension.

There wasn't even a hint of any such thing.

And suddenly this afternoon, Malvani was under curfew.

The Minar was broken.

Stones were pelted behind Sector 4.

A Bus set ablaze. A Taxi burnt.

Police firing.

l don't understand who is instigating all this.

And now, anything can happen anytime.

One stray shriek, one stone,

One fanatic. Just one.

And everything will be over.

Sir, l have no news from home.

lf l could go to Malvani... - As soon as the curfew...

...is released, the police vehicle will drop you there.

There are 90% Muslims, and just 10% Hindus in Malvani.

And, most of the Hindus stay...

...in Sector 1 and 4.

Kadam was saying that the burning of the police post...

a Hindu mob was responsible.

And you say that... you recognised a few...

...Muslims among them.

So, the people who were killed in the taxi, they were?...

lf we waste time thinking, they'll think we're cowards.

Don't worry.

Hey.

Don't be scared.

Hail Lord Ram!

Hail Lord Ram!

Surya, what are you doing here?

Your family too has been attacked.

We won't spare any of them.

Don't worry, come on.

'Second.'

'We always have play second.'

'Life always plays first.'

'lt always takes the break.'

'And then comes our turn.'

'One who survives till the end, is the winner.'

l won't tell Papa, l swear on Ma.

That means you'll tell Ma? - No. l swear on Papa.

Come on.

Your Master lost the last time as well.

Hey.

Hey Chandra, how are you?

Has Master started his gun-machine yet? - There's still time.

Smallie? - He's my brother.

He'll just be quite and watch.

You'll be quiet, won't you? - Yes.

Really? Go on.

'Four pockets, 18 coins, 1 queen and 2 strikers.'

'That's all there is to game, in one way.'

'But there's more to the game than that.'

'The players'.

'The gamblers'.

'And those like me, who just stare in awe.'

'Everyone would come.'

'Great players frequented that joint.'

'l recognised Master in a immediately.'

'He didn't talk much...'

'...his striker would talk to the coins.'

Surya this car has come to your house.

Uncle, please open the door.

Uncle, please open the door. - Surya, come.

l don't see any way.

Can you think of anything?

You don't understand. - l don't understand...?

l suggest that we both set out, with a bowl in hand.

We'll wander around in the streets, and beg.

And, we'll definitely mange something.

Sister-in-law, please explain to him. Please explain.

Have your tea, it's getting cold. - What tea?

But, where will we go?

We've been settled here for so long.

lt's not about this... - This is just an advance.

Listen... - Listen to me.

l'm not sending you empty-handed from here.

Go to Malvani, you'll find a bigger house.

Plus you'll save some money for your daughter's wedding.

l'll give you more money.

'The eldest, was Rajni.'

'Then Chandra.'

'Then, Devi. And l was the youngest.'

Surya, come here.

'Brother and sister would go till Dadar...'

'...for the Ganesh immersion.'

'But, Devi and l had never stepped out of Nagpada.'

'That day we realised how big Mumbai was.'

'We were thrown from one corner of the city, to another.'

'lt seemed like between the two corners...'

'...there was a third city... Malvani.'

'Malvani was filled with all kinds of noises.'

'And strange silences.'

'Amidst all the chaos one thing was certain...'

'...someone would surely be tricked everyday.'

What's going on up ahead?

Some fraudster sold the same shop to two buyers and fled.

Your benevolence is unique, God.

Your benevolence is unique, God.

Unique is my devotion, Lord.

Your benevolence is unique, God.

The cradle of life...

...swings with the pace of time.

The heart keeps beating.

Numerous thoughts cross my heart.

Thousands of questions crowd my mind.

Why did you make each day a mystery?

Lord. Lord. Lord.

Write Rs.26. - Ma. Here.

You took so long.

What did you write? - Yes?

Did you write 26? - Yes, l did.

Wow.

Your brother plays really well.

lt was great.

Would you like to play one more?

Why one? Let's play ten.

Will you bet a rupee? - Fine.

Okay.

Brother, the money... - lf winning is definite,

How does it matter if there is...

Money in the pocket or nuts?

Hey. Have you lost it?

Wasting such talented fingers for loose change.

Why not add few zeroes?

Add a zero after one, and it becomes 10.

Add two zeros, and it becomes 100.

And if you add three zeros... then it becomes 1000.

You have to defeat this fool a thousand times...

...to make Rs.1000.

And, if you beat now just one time, l'll give you Rs.1000.

Think about it.

Do you want to play a thousand games, or just one?

2000.

He's under pressure now.

Not pressure, he's in a cooker.

Watch, how the whistle blows!

Get up.

Come here.

What is your name? - Chandra.

Chandra what? Horse, elephant, garlic.

Chandra what? - Chandrakant Sarang.

Where do you stay? - Sector 4, Room No. 26.

Get lost for now.

We'll find you if we need you.

Get lost.

We were just joking with you.

Go on.

2000.

'At that time l didn't know, how much 2000 was.'

'But brother knew that he had lost a big game.'

'Jaleel called him many times.'

'But brother never went back to the carom club.'

What did you buy?

We got the onions, potatoes, and everything else...

Boss.
