My name is Salim Pasha
People call me Salim Langda (the Lame)
They're right too! Because
..to be frank there's something special about my gait.
There're many Salims around.
Four under every stone you overturn!
Salim Checkak.. Salim Kanya.. Salim Tempo, Slim Honda!
You can take this as my self-portrait..
Salim Langda
My own True Life Story!
Spiced up a bit here and there, of course.
It's not opening. - Try harder.
Come on, hurry up. - Get the stuff.
Salim, run. Abdul.
Salim.
Don't worry.
Rajan.
Langda! Don't you know you're trespassing!
Look Rajan, these goods are mine!
Loot that crosses into my area is mine! Get it!
You'll regret it
Are you trying to scare me?
I'll give you such a thrashing..
..you'll cry for Grandma!
Let's go
Let him go, after all..
every dog thinks he's his domain.
Get lost Langda! Or..
..you'll lose the other leg too!
Pick up the stuff. Pick it up. - Move..
I will deal with you.
This is your area, after all. - The rascal.
Are you heart? - No.
The rascal. - Let him come in our area..
DON'T SHED A TEAR FOR SALIM LANGDA
This is my father
Worked in a textile mill
There was a country - wide strike
The milll re-opened
But they didn't take him back
25 years he spent in back breaking work..
And it took just one minute to throw him out!
Just like that.
This is my mother, she's very lovable
A mother, after all..
She takes in stitching from the neighbour
Earns a little extra for the home
Has spent her whole life, working, working, working..
..Not a moment of rest
And this quiet one is my little sister
Anees, the baby of the house
Has nothing - save her family's love.
But one day I'll see she has everything. Everything
Javed is my brother was
He was a factory electrician
A 440 Volt-Shock killed him
Hello. - And this is Peera my buddy
And Abdul the No. 2 You can..
..call Peera my right hand
Nothing scares him-but a flash of my eyes
The goggles were inspired by some English film
Sometimes, he sports them at night too!
And Abdul He's like my shadow
Still a boy, but 'solid' I can vouch for that
This is Rafiq bhai's restaurant our - hangout
And this is Rafiaqh bhai. A man who says little..
..but knows everything. Wedded to his work
That's why everyone respects him.
No. its not ready yet.
And this is Vilas Nakashe. His business is bootlegging and gambling
A loner
A good friend
Goodbye.
but as an enemy Deadly!
And that one in between..
They call him 'Lala'
Owns a jewellery shop..
..but his real business is stolen goods
Don't be scared, this is common.
This is Nathu Seth
We finally got hold of him.
Runs brothels and gambling dens
He's a hothead - smolders all the white!
Enter Ibrahim Malbari! The Silver King!
A smuggler - but what a man!
Soared from the gutters to the skies
Politicians, film-stars, wealthy folk - all know him
And this is my special friend - Johan
People call him ''Jani''
Jani Hippie.
Been in Bombay for ages. Speaks first class Hindi
Where he came from no one knows - England, USA, Paris..
No one knows.
The one thing that has eluded me..
..is what they call 'Love''
But if any one person has won my heart..
..it is this woman..
She is right here.
Mumtaz.
Someone stole up silently
Put his arms around
Fell unheeded to the ground
The bindiya on my forehead.. Fell unheeded to the ground
The bindiya on my forehead.. Fell unheeded to the ground
The bindiya on my forehead.. Fell unheeded to the ground
The bindiya on my forehead.. Fell unheeded to the ground
O Mumtaz voice sweet as a bell
And eyes like stars - My Mumtaz!
