Hey, go to your left!
You'll hit us
Hemant, sir
What's wrong?
Yes. Tell me, Hemant
Sir, there's been an accident
I can hear you. Go on
There's been a boat accident, sir
A kidnapping
Who's been kidnapped?
Your wife's been kidnapped, sir
I suspect Beera is involved
We're doing everything we can. By nightfall, sir...
Who's there?
Help!
My queen, why are you losing your head?
Who's there?
Demons and scoundrels
Who are you?
Why did you bring me here?
You'll regret it
You're making a big mistake
You'll be killed
Coward
You're a coward
I'm not scared of you
Looks like she's drowning
Her life isn't over yet
She dies in 14 hours
Beera says so
Open the gate
Are you blind? Open up!
"See, if you've eyes to see...
"...this gate stays closed by me
"If your hunger is so great...
"...go elsewhere for chocolate"
Shall I fix you?
Looks like you didn't like my poetry
I don't like your gun either
I'll sort you out
"Harmless am I...
"...a carefree monkey
"Never sad, always happy"
Poet Sanjeevani says:
"The world is innocent. For myriad flowers...
"...I am guardian
"I am protector"
"See, if you have eyes to see...
"...this gate stays closed by me
"If your hunger is so great go elsewhere for chocolate"
Come down. Or I'll drag you down
Let's see how far he can go
So you're Sanjeevani Kumar? A forest-guard?
For 28 years
The Forestry Department praises you
You've a record for getting suspended
Suspended again. For 48 days
Is your monkeying around thanks to alcohol?
You playing decoy?
I did stop you. But only to show the way
You see, I can't let you go alone
Who said you're coming?
Didn't you read the sign? It is written
"Dev Pratap is going to rescue his wife...
"...with me...
"...to destroy all evil"
Sir, he doesn't know the way to anywhere
He could be Beera's man, sir
He's always drunk. How can he show us the way?
Sir, he doesn't know the way to anywhere
He could be Beera's man, sir
He's always drunk. How can he show us the way?
Beera
Age: 32
A hardened criminal. A man who terrorises Laal Maati
And protects it too
He's why I got transferred here
DSP Hemant Sinha
Laal Maati District
I won't salute and say: "Welcome to Laal Maati." No, sir
I know you don't care for all that
I believe that many people here don't like the police
I like such people
Beera casts a long shadow
Nothing happens without his say. Good or bad
I came to Laal Maati to meet men who don't like us...
...to tell them that we mean business
His two brothers, his front men...
...Mangal and Hariya
We can be friends...
...or we can be enemies
You won't find a worse enemy than me
He's the devil for some
And an angel for others
He's the law and lawmaker in Laal Maati
But to us, he's a plain criminal
Beera is there when blood is shed...
... or takes revenge for any killings
Is he a Raavan? Or a Robin Hood?
For us he's Raavan
How many cases against him?
They say Beera can be in ten places at the same time
He has ten minds. Ten faces
The ten-headed Raavan
Well, pick an auspicious moment at Dusshera and kill this Raavan
You're wearing a uniform. Do something!
Now sir is here. Something will happen
I'll be the one who will finish this Raavan
Be brave, Ragini
Dev, sir!
Stop the jeep!
Inspector, don't look in the water
The boatman is here
Don't chew that
Beera? He's headed east?
Toward the rock
How do you know?
He told you?
Beera is nuts
He ties the boatman and tells him where he's heading
Are we looking for him? Or is he looking for us?
What else did he say?
"The police can't find...
"...their own fathers...
"...how will they find Beera?"
You want me to repeat that? I'll kill you
Don't die
Some water
Ragini?
Is Ragini with them? Did you see her?
How is she? Tell me
Tell me. How is she?
Get up!
Stay away!
Let go of me
Don't touch me. Let go
Leave me alone
Be quiet!
Be quiet. Sit still
Quiet! Or I'll chop you up
You'll die soon enough
Beera will kill you. You unlucky wretch
I'm not dying
Who are you to kill me?
Will your enmity end with my death?
Kill her
Kill her or she won't stop yapping
Avenge yourself
Teach her what revenge is
I'm not dying
Knives are rattling in my head
Sweet revenge
I'm not dying
A good deed. A bad
A question. An answer
How do you want to die?
You can't kill me
Die laughing and you'll laugh for the next 7 lives
If I die, it's on my terms
Hey, you girl
A tear fell from an eye. A spark flickered
Set burning hope alight
Slake untamed thirst
O rain, soak me till I dissolve...
...into the flowing waters
O let me flow
Let me flow like water flows
Quiet!
You survived. Yet you cry?
I'm not crying
Swallow your tears
Enough crying
Or you'll find no man worse than me
No man is worse than you
Uncouth beast. You monster
Fiend. No insults in the world are enough for you
Bravo, Beera
Betterto hear swear words than a woman sobbing
What remained has been washed away
Let me flow
Filling me. Blurring time
Obsessing the core of me
I have nothing. What can I lose?
My life is Yours. To sacrifice for You
Even goats look before jumping. And you just jumped
You crazy?
Vultures won't devour you
Then why did you want to kill me?
Killing you was written in my fate
Some bastard erased it
But your death is written in my fate
You know, right?
No bastard will erase it
I hear the drowning come with pleas to Your threshold
With sinking hearts they come...
...to drown some more
Erase the line of the shore
Flow on
Overturn the midstream
Let a spark fly from the ash
Let a tear fall from the eye
He urges you to flow on
And flood the world
Let me flow
I think I know why you didn't kill her
If you had killed her, a case would be filed
Hariya or I would only need to serve six years for you
A light flashed in my head
I thought to myself, ah! He has another plan
Damn
I stand with a gun in my hand
She's minutes from death
Yet no fear in her eyes
How to kill someone who doesn't fear death?
This is no circus. Go!
We're in a jungle. No saree shops
Wear what we have
And look savage like us
I'll cut off your tails. Go!
How arrogant! Doesn't fear guns. Doesn't laugh at my jokes
This will make you happy
To hell with yourfood!
I'm not an animal you tie and feed when it pleases you
I don't want it
You snobs! You first kick me, then kick the food
It's food. Be grateful. We sweat blood to get food
We won't tolerate you insulting it
And the way you insult me? So is this how you treat a woman?
What next?
Crazy woman. Even my wife doesn't abuse me like you
Eat, if you're hungry. Or kill me if you think I'm a foe. Your choice
Bravo! At last you eat our salt
Don't worry. I won't make you pay for it. Eat up!
Nothing to worry about. It's thunder
No, a pistol shot
Maybe
Now behave yourselves. You're in good company
A police officer is here. He won't harm you. You don't harm him
Where is Beera? Where is he?
Don't let them run!
Get them out of their homes!
Beera is a calm and wise man
No, sir
His actions are true to his name
Fearless
Sir, they know nothing about Beera. I know him well
His heart is clear as water
He's the one who saved our land
He's a poet
"The shattered cannot be restored..."
You must hear him sing
Women go crazy hearing him
Beera is dangerous. He's evil
I salute you
He's learned
He isn't educated but knows everything
Beera plays the drum well
Praising him again?
See him and you see the God of Death
No escaping death
Does he have ten heads?
Only one, right? Isn't he a man? Get out!
You're scaring us
Are you a better police officer or husband?
I just about survive both jobs
- Really? - You don't know my wife. She's tough
Does this hand hold a pistol too?
Sometimes a pistol. Sometimes the wife
But how?
I don't think about my wife when I'm holding a pistol
When my wife is in my arms, I think about nothing else
She has blossomed
The fragrant flower of night
Kiss the flute with your lips again, my love
Blow a gentle melody on my delicate body
Come, my love
Touch my melodlous body with your fingers
Come, my love
My beloved
Come to me, my beloved
The branch of night...
...sways longing for you. Fill it with your being
Sweet fragrance fills the night
Adorn the marital bed
Touch your lips to my skin...
...and fill me with your love
Come to me
Wrapped in mist, time waits for you
Mangal, where to?
Come on, photographer!
Get out of that flying machine
Steady on. Stand straight!
Beera brother
Brother-in-law...
...no trouble getting here?
I didn't do it on purpose
How was I to know this would happen?
I gave you this watch
And my sister too
Where is my sister?
Where?
I don't know anything
I came out and someone...
...grabbed me from behind
Where did you lose her?
Brother Beera, listen to me
You remembered the watch
But not my sister
You bastards!
Puff up your chests. Stand straight
Look fierce
Photo studio!
Your photo had better get the world shaking
Master, she's flapping like a bird
- I won't let you take it - She'll spoil it
Click!
Mangal, slap her. Make her stand still
A scarecrow
It wouldn't even scare crows
Inspector, careful!
It's Tiwari's son
Surjit, get the jeep
Jeevan, get some water
The first-aid box
It's a fresh wound, sir
The blood has just started clotting
Some water!
Get the stretcher!
Aren't you related to Beera?
His brother-in-law?
He cut my hand off. Take me to a hospital
I came to your wedding
Remember?
Look, my hand
Will he sever mine?
What's on Beera's mind? Talk
Dev!
Where are you?
If you don't come, they'll kill me
I shout and scream so they think they don't frighten me
But you know I'm not that brave
You coming, aren't you?
When will you come?
Scream all you want. But God nor your Dev will come for you
Now quietly eat up. Give your anger a rest
Shout only when you're thirsty
Come on, Gulabiya
Bring that tape recorder here. Shut up, everyone
Beera brother, talk. It's working
Inspector, sir
How are you?
Not feeling good, I hope
I'm not good either
Thanks to big shots like you
It's Beera
Uneducated villager. Poor
Not a high caste man like you
Therefore an enemy
Seen the photo?
Recognise her?.
We took it with great care
Keep it safely in your pocket
If your wife doesn't return...
...at least you'll have her photo
Now you'll know what suffering is
Namaste
Anyone there?
If you want to live, tie yourself up
Apologise. Say you've made a mistake
Ranjha, calling your name...
...I turned into you
I hear my name in your name
Ranjha, my destiny is in your hands
Burn!
Turn molten
Let me go home
Adorn your brow with sacred ash...
...and purify yourself
She could pass as one of us. Could be a Raniya or Mahua
Send me home
If you wander in the sun...
...you'll turn the same colour as us. Black!
She's glaring at us
She'll swear at us
Will you stay with us?
Is that why you saved my life?
Will you stay?
Where is your gun?
Killing me is better
My Mahua. Was the question a mistake?
I am bad
No man worse than me
Know the real mistake? You meeting the Inspector
You got married. Mistake
You coming to my village. Mistake
Wanting revenge, abducting you. Mistake
I didn't shoot you
Mistake
You weren't scared
Another mistake
But I got scared...
...for the first time
What's done is done. Nothing can be undone
What's in my heart won't change
I can't take my words back
Will you stay with us?
I didn't mean to ask. Damn, it slipped out
Mahua, what if...
...you weren't married?
What's near this bridge?
Your tip-offs are as bad as the food
I suppose we'll have to make do. Well, Sharma? Eat up
But don't drop anything...
...other wise Beera will know...
...where we are
What we must swallow
Right, Ranjit?
What did you tell him?
Sir, you've got it wrong
Really?
How does Beera know our every move then?
Wear a uniform, but loyal to Beera, eh?
I can hit too, sir
Just try
What did you tell Beera? Talk
We can't go against Beera, sir
But you can work against me?
Where is Beera?
Tell me! Where is he?
It's easy for you, sir
You stay here for 6 months...
...then you're transferred
But we must live here
He's right, sir
He wears a police uniform yet works for Beera
You're right too, sir
- I can't go against Beera - Watch it
Or you're dead
This is the way
- I don't know where Beera is - Tell us what you know
- Something wrong - Stop!
What's going on?
Sugar in the petrol tank, sir
To graze the cows, sir. Can we pass?
We have a problem
Inspector!
They've sabotaged our trucks
Maybe other informers amongst us
Beera knows all our plans. Is anyone there?
Mr. Hemant!
The tongue?
Shall I cut your nose off?
The ears? Ears are good
What a pleasure
Do I make him bald? Well, it's your turn next
Don't shave my head
Hariya lost his bet
Hariya lost his bet to Mangal
Said he'd go bald if we returned alive from the camp. Shave him!
I saw it
In his tent
A photo...
...of me
A demon's photo in a king's tent
Time to hit back!
Hit the nail!
It isn't far
Coming to Delhi?
Staring, glaring, lording over us
O jungle cat
Strike it!
Swing the bat
Strike the ball
If the smug are over-smart, we take control
Gobbled truth and lie
In songs chanted to us
But when we did the singing...
... all dancing stopped
Lying and cunning dancer
Not mother to anyone
Stuffed with treason
Without rhyme or reason
Calling us backward. Mocking us. O Delhi
Darkness robbed night's jewels
Robbed moon and star clusters
Dawn has broken. Our day has come
Who has the guts to stub out the sun?
Let us sit together. Open our hearts
They relish bananas and hurl the peels for us
Calling us backward. Mocking us. O Delhi
We leave our necks at home, lowered as they are
Corpses with drooping necks have need of short graves
The age-old story of high and low goes on and on
Time to settle scores. Grab our share
Our blood flows red like theirs
Peel our skin back and see
Hit the nail!
Hemant
Are you all right?
Don't worry. I'll get you out of here
Don't lose heart, Hemant
You listening?
Where is Dev?
Bravo!
The captive freeing the caged
Well?
What will you do to him?
Sit him on a buffalo and send him...
...straight to the God of Death
Get going!
What do you get out of killing?
The same as the Inspector
Why kill him? Because he's a police officer?
He's a human being
Are you animals?
What has he done?
Kick him Punch him
Shoot him. To his death
Better answer her
Tell her what you did
Tell her what you did to Jamuniya
Jamuniya? Who is she?
Tell her
Jamuniya is our stepsister
An only child
But closer than a real sister to us
The only one in the family who didn't fear Beera one bit
Beera feared her
She was smart
She loved Rajeshwar Tiwari, known as Guddu
A right idiot. But she liked him
Hers was the first wedding in our family
The massage lady is here
Let's go
You look nice in a saree
See what a man I am?
I came here with everyone about
Dressed as a eunuch. Otherwise my brothers would have fixed you
I know Judo and Karate
I'm not scared of anyone
No one at all?
- And now? - You crazy?
- Scared now? - What are you doing?
- Someone will see us - Show them your karate moves
- You'll get me killed - The wind gone from your sails?
You're crazy
Let the world see how brave you are
- Damn it! - You swear too?
Hide! My brother. Run
Hey, Jamuni
Open the door
No, I can't open it now
- Who's inside? - Only me. Who else?
I'm changing
Henna on your palms, staining your clothes
It isn't his fault. I asked him to come here
How obedient he is
I told him to come here. To prove he had the guts
So he comes in a petticoat?
What are you doing?
- Holding hands - Who with?
Don't break his hand
How can I marry a boy with a broken hand?
Why didn't you think of that earlier?
Which hand?
Don't cut his hand off
Which hand?
Open your eyes, brother-in-law
It isn't time yet
Two days till the wedding
Be patient or you'll garland her with one hand. Get it?
Now go
Your obedient servant is waiting for your instruction
Send the goat to the slaughterhouse. The end is near
Enjoy! Enjoy the last night of bachelorhood
The groom won't go without his young bride
Call the bride!
Mr. Groom, don't lose your head. Flex your muscles instead
He's a goner. Another goner. The poor boy's end is near
Enjoy! Enjoy the last night of bachelorhood
She floats in fair weather. Lighter than a feather
Sourer than yesterday's curd. Well, that's what we've heard
He's a goner. Another goner. The poor boy's end is near
Call the bride!
You're so dark
No dye will work on you
You're not black. Nor a crow
No stones touch you
Don't shoo him away!
He's a goner. Another goner
Enjoy! Enjoy the last night of bachelorhood
Young brothers-in-law are for cuddling
Parents-in-law for dutiful respecting
The family elders...
... are for wise counselling
And sisters-in-law are for friendship
Call the bride!
Father said I must pay my respects
I know you're overjoyed
So no pretend tears. Understand?
Anyone who has you for a brother will cry forever
Big brother, get them married today
Mr. Groom, make her a mother without delay. He's a goner
Enjoy! Enjoy the last night of bachelorhood
Stop!
Why the hell are you here? Out!
We came to bless the couple
You bastards!
I beg you, go away
So...
Dev must have had a good reason
He never does anything wrong
Never
I did wrong
Ten men held onto me and dragged me away
If I had only known that bastard...
...Guddu would run at the first sight of the police
If I knew that Jamuniya was all alone...
Look for Beera
Where is your brother?
Are you deaf?
In what rat hole is he hiding?
Police dogs have sharp noses. Sniff him out
Shall I cut your nose off?
This bastard...
...took her from wedding to police station
The police station
Are you badly hurt?
Good! I don't have to listen to your nagging then
Mangal brother...
Why did I ever want to marry Guddu?
Better to be unmarried like you
But who the hell are the police to have stopped my wedding?
I wasn't scared
At the police station they asked me:
"Your husband has run away...
"...so who spends your wedding night with you?"
They never gave me the chance...
...to beg with folded hands. They pulled my hands apart
A night in hell
I closed my eyes
I decided not to open them till I got home
I'm still pure
Those dogs weren't satisfied
I screamed for help
The bastards took turns. All night long
The bastards
Pull her out
Jamuniya, what have you done?
Hemant
Singh, get a blanket. Hurry
You'll be ok
Ok? No hair. No dignity
But you're still alive
Damn the rest
And madam?
Lift him
Careful
He was there for only 8 hours. And madam? For 8 days
Stop it! I know
Don't use force. Act wisely. Take my advice
Advice? Is that your bright idea?
A suggestion
You're making me cry. I don't want to cry
Give me anger. Don't take it away
Don't soften me by showing me their good side
I'm not weak. Don't make me weak
Can't you do that much for me?
Did I come at the wrong time?
What kind of man is he?
Your Inspector
A good, or a very good man?
God-like. Enough?
What's he like?
Don't answer. I know
A great man
Large-hearted. A man of high principles
Does he really love you?
Yes
And you?
I'm burning with jealousy
Jealousy
I'm burning
Every damn thing seems on fire
As though my soul were on fire
Burn! Burn to ashes
Burn, Beera! Burn some more
So let the world say: "No man has burned like Beera"
An uncouth man like me? How could I care for you?
I'm insignificant
How can I match up to you?
Or to your God-like husband
Jealousy has made me all-powerful
Greater than anyone
Jealousy is the gift of the lucky few
My Mahua
I found you at last
I searched the forest. And finally found you
No biryani here. Eat what there is. You'll fall sick otherwise
Are you all right? I work for the Inspector. A forest guard
I'm here to free you
Why didn't Dev come?
He doesn't know the winding paths of the forest
So he sent me with a keepsake
What's wrong?
Listen!
The Inspector sent a keepsake. So you'd trust me
I promise the Inspector isn't far
He has an army with him. He won't spare anyone
I have jumped hoops to come here and free you
Jump some more
Hear this sound? Danger
I hope it isn't your death knell
I work for the Inspector. But have great regard for you
These tribals love you too
They'd die for you
Am I wrong?
But why are you hell-bent on getting them killed?
Stop your lecture! Your days are numbered. Not ours
Send madam back with me. Keep the others out of it
What if I don't send her back?
Need I answer? The end of the world
Hey, Mangal
Are you scared of dying?
Well, Ganua? Did his talk scare you?
I am shaking with fear
Shaking
Our death is a joke to you people
We have been beaten for so many years that now...
...our skin is as hard as stone
Sticks or bullets won't touch us any more
So don't threaten us with death, Sanjeevani
Think it over
I won't leave without madam
Who said you were leaving? Eh?
Who said so?
He's no enemy. He's right
Then go to the Inspector. Get a uniform and shoot me in the back
But he's talking of peace
Peace?
With ten truckloads of ammunition?
The spy was sent to gauge our strength
What is our strength?
Shall I tell you? You are our strength
But you seem to have weakened
Hariya
It's the truth
A curse has fallen on us since she came here
Everything has gone wrong. She'll devour us all
She's already devoured you
You said she'd die in 14 hours
That became 14 days
Not in 14 years will you let her go...
Hit me, brother
I know you're thinking the same
Make him see sense
Big mistake him going there
Explain
A mistake sending him alone. Let me talk to the Inspector
You can't open your mouth without using foul language
Let me go
Don't take me for a child
Listen to me for once
I won't let you down
I went where no one goes
Came back from where no one escapes
I told you I'd find madam. I have, sir!
I deserve a medal. Gold or silver
- Have you brought Beera? - His brother is here
To make a peace pact
Hariya
Come on out
I am alone
Look
The gun is empty
We have two conditions
All cases must be dropped. Take your army and go
You talk like a police officer
I came here to talk peace
I want peace too
Send Ragini back
Beera will come to no harm
Come out when you want to talk
I'll wait in my tent
Do I tell Beera you're ready for peace?
Do I tell Beera you'll accept peace?
I only grazed you. Next time you won't be so lucky
I came to talk peace
Hariya, don't run
Inspector
Let the battle begin. Cleanse the land
Hemant
When the net is drawn in, even rivers are entangled
No way out. No desire to live
Hemant
Clap your hands! The Inspector's coming
Not walking. He's running. Run!
Where is Ragini?
Where is Jamuniya?
Where is Hariya?
You won't be spared today
Say your prayers
Inspector?
Bravo!
No army today. No guns
No uniform either
Alone today
Beera, let go of his hand
Let him fall and plunge screaming to his death
Where is he?
What happened?
You thought it was your husband
What have you done to him?
He's God to you
I am a demon. A ten-headed demon
Tell me he's all right
Don't make me beg
Answer me
Tell me he's all right
Isn't he?
He was dangling...
...from a bridge. Seething with anger. Furrowed brow
Hold it tight
Inspector
Your Inspector is in a big hurry
Slithering like a snake to strike me
Do me a favour
I don't do favours
Don't kill Dev
- lf you survive, one of us dies - I'll let go of the rope
Or shoot you
You think I'd give you a loaded gun?
Always wondered who'd take my life in the end
Fire one bullet
Me
You
The Inspector
We'll all be free
Release me
Aim right here
All over in an instant
I'll die happy
Laughing
And if I stay...
You'll stay?
Here? With us?
If I don't kill the Inspector...
...you'll stay
For me alone
What are you doing?
You came 14 days late. Why not in 14 minutes?
You had me scared
Where is he?
I'm here. What more do you want?
Where are you?
Did you come for me? Or for him?
Let's go
Beera, I'll be back
Our war isn't over
Take me home
Did he raise a hand on you?
Did he hurt you?
No
Intimidate you? Threaten you?
Didn't touch you, did he?
What took place between you and Beera?
You were there for 14 days
14 days
14 nights
I know what you're asking
Look at me
Can't you tell?
Ok. Take a lie detector test
Doesn't it sicken you asking me that?
If you're telling the truth, why fear the test?
I've lived on hope for 14 days
But your 10 words now make me wish I was dead
The truth always hurts
- How do you know what's true? - He told me
He said:
"My hands are sullied. But your wife isn't pure as gold"
- He couldn't have said that - He said a lot more
Shall I tell you bit by bit? Or all in one go?
And you believed him?
No reason not to
- I'm getting off this train - Who's stopping you?
Do you want to throw me out of your life?
I want to be rid of the lies
I'm not lying, Dev
Not you
But your face... your eyes
Everything tells me you're lying
All lies
You shouldn't have come back
Even if I knew where Beera is, I mustn't tell you
I don't know why you came back
If anger brings you here, then kindly go home
You're back
What did you tell Dev?
I can't hear a word
What am I to you? A weapon to win your war?
Slow down! I can't hear you
What did you tell Dev?
What did you say? Tell me
Hey, Beera
Shall I let go?
Let him fall and smash into bits
Let the bastard plunge screaming into the jungle
I could kill you for your wife
Or spare you for her
Shall I let go? Or save you?
What did you tell him about me?
You're a lucky man
Very lucky
Your wife is like gold
Throw gold into fire...
...it glows brighter...
...and becomes purer
My hands may be sullied...
...but I've looked after your wife with much respect
What else did you say?
Before the beast in me stirs...
...take her away
Take her home
Come up
Tears on a joyous day?
Swallow those tears
No crying
Stop your tears... stop them
Now I know why I'm still alive
Many have tried to kill me. With sticks, bullets and bombs
But I survived
I get it now
If I had died, how would I have met you?
Dev didn't listen to me. He said such terrible things
Unpleasant things
Unpleasant things? But why?
He's smart. Educated
He's suspicious of me
Suspicious?
Whatever for?
But why...
Inspector!
- Dev doesn't know I'm here - Cunning!
What a devious way to trap me
He knows exactly how to get to me
Bravo!
I told you I'd come back
Shoot
Go on, shoot
Show the world who is a God. And who is a demon. Shoot
Shoot me
You'll have to shoot me ten times
Ragini, move
Even if you kill me, you cannot take what I have
Move
