The end of the third war between lndia and Pakistan
The months-old Bangladeshi freedom movement finally won
A new country was born. Bangladesh
As the lndian army left Dhaka...
...two friends stood behind the barbed wire
Two orphans. Bikram and Bala
What had come to pass? Was it right or wrong?
Would this new country give them a new life?
That question echoed in their minds
When Bangladesh was born...
...thousands of people of lndian origin lived there
With no food or shelter
Faced with conflict many countries can forget...
...it's their own people who pay the highest price
Thousands were lost in death's darkness
That darkness was soon to engulf Bikram and Bala
When hunger is overwhelming
There's only one answer to this question
Want to eat?
Will you work for me?
You'll feed us?
We'll do as you say
That was a time when there were more guns than people
Lateef bought guns from the army...
...and sold them to ordinary folk
Bikram and Bala were his new recruits
lnnocent looking children aren't suspected
Or checked
As time passed, the boys got smarter
Bikram and Bala were soon Lateef's best gun couriers
Lateef!
Your gun trade is well cared for
What about my needs?
How will l satisfy them?
Sir, you know full well. Only skeletons in the camp
You're right
Tell you what
Leave a boy here
Sir?
Leave a boy here
They're children
Your daughter isn't a child
Nor a skeleton
But, sir?
Uncle, you take Bala and go. l'll stay
Smart kid
l said go!
My sins are many
And Your heart All-forgiving
Say something, Uncle
What will he do to Bikram?
Let's go and get Bikram
Stay here
l'll go alone
l go nowhere without him
Bala!
Sir, let me go
l beg you, sir
He who accepts me as master, Ali is his master
What you doing here?
- Untie him - Gun down!
Untie him. Or l'll blow your head off
Bikram, get dressed
Don't move!
Put that gun down
Bala, run!
Bala, wait
Who fired?
Bikram! Run
Stop them!
Uncle, we killed the moron
- Who? - The moustache man
- Gone! - Shot him
He was an army officer. They won't spare you
A refugee train is leaving for Calcutta. Take it
Take some money
May God protect you both
Run!
At Your door
l bow my head
You are my saviour
Protector and Guardian
Look everywhere!
Maybe they were run over
Pull the chain!
We request all passengers
Not to leave the station without their lDs checked
lf anyone tries to leave without verification...
... they'll be severely punished
Your order. Fish and rice
Bala! Who cleans table three?
Do you expect your mother or father to do it?
Go on!
These dimwits don't get it
Good-for-nothing
The moron
Bala, what's wrong?
l can tell you're boiling with rage
l could kill someone, that's why
You boil over like hot milk
Learn to use your anger
lt's very useful
Forget it
Look over there! l made you something
Go on!
What is it?
A dream. lt'll come true one day
Meaning?
A palace. For you and me
You'll see. We'll live in a palace some day
Like true princes
- Sure? - Take my thumbprint
The top floor is where...
...l'll live
And l'll stay in your heart
You live there anyway
Damn idlers! Having fun?
You're glaring
l'll pull your eyes out
Get out!
You Bangladeshi refugees
lnfesting our Calcutta. Out!
Let me go!
l'll split his head in two, burn his shop down
Fighting won't get you anywhere. Your brains will
l have no brains. But l know...
...one survives by grabbing
We've escaped bullets, but hunger will get us
The restaurant owner swore at us, but never fed us
How do l calm my belly?
Wait a minute
Brother, how much for the coal?
10kgs for 2 rupees
That's a lot
The market price
The price will fall today
- Come - Where to?
The coal once saved our lives. lt'll feed us now
What now?
Bala, hurry!
Give me a break!
Done. Pull me up
This coal will make us rich one day. You'll see
- Sure? - Take my thumbprint
Buying coal?
From you?
Does the star Rajesh Khanna supply you then?
- How much? - What's the market price?
- 10kgs for 2 rupees - We sell at half price
20kgs here
Here! Two rupees
Put the coins in my hand
Put them in my hand
Don't mess with him. Do as he says
What's this?
Remember the cups l broke? Buy some more
l see! So we're even now?
Now what?
Next time a child...
... breaks a cup...
...before you swear at him...
...remember this small hand and my tight slap
Now we're even. Let's go, Bala
THE OUTLAWS
Celebrate the joys of love
Diwali again!
200 quintals of coal here
We started with 20kgs ten years ago
With interest, we must own at least 200 quintal, no?
Here comes your Tina!
l'll be riding Tina one day
Sure?
- Take my thumbprint - You liar!
Tina scares you
Or do l tell you?
Tell Tina instead
Or do l say nothing?
What's up, brother?
Found no one to play hide-and-seek with?
You Bikram and Bala?
That's what they call us. Any objection?
You robbed Dibakar's train
That train belongs to the don Dibakar
Does this don Dibakar rule lndia?
Own the railways?
Think it's funny?
This coal trade is Dibakar's
Trade? lt's called thieving
And the coal l rob...
...belongs to me
And so does the trade
Tone down your attitude. You'll regret it
Attitude runs in my blood. Your barking won't change that
One minute
Tell me something
When is Dibakar's next train?
At 8 tomorrow. Why?
Tell your Dibakar
We're robbing his train again
lf his guts are where they're meant to be...
...let him stop us
Hey brothers! Tell me something
Which of you rascals...
...is the rascal Dibakar?
You look angry. Must be you
How come this train belongs to a petty pickpocket?
Let's not argue
Let's clear up something
Ask what
Well, what?
The man who unloads the coal off the train...
...owns the train and runs the coal trade
You dare show me attitude on my turf? Antics done?
The train and the coal are mine
Rum?
Now watch me!
Whose train is it?
Mine
lt was mine and always will be
lt can never be yours. Know why?
You scum are Bangladeshi refugees
Fugitives!
We're not refugees. We're lndians
Are we to blame if the country got divided?
This side of the line makes you lndian
That side of the line makes us refugees?
We didn't draw the line
But now we will
And our first domain will be the city of...
Calcutta
The flames of pride are more dangerous than poison
Fan those flames and they destroy all souls
The poison of being refugees tormented Bikram and Bala
They had only one aim
To rule over all of Calcutta
They controlled the coal
The fish market
Burma teak
Steel scrap yards. Gas
Wheat and oil. Controlled every black market in town
Calcutta was in their grip
The one-time petty coal thieves were now...
...the city's big shots
With one remaining desire
The desire to become lndian citizens
Your ration card
Now you're legally lndian
No one can dare call you refugees
l can't read
Bikram Bose. Bala Bhattacharya
ln the eyes of the law, they were criminals
Yet benefactors to the needy
They were illiterate
Yet they built schools in their names, hospitals, too
They lived by their own rules
No one could match their attitude
Calcutta was now famous for two things:
The Howrah Bridge
And Bikram and Bala
The city's toughest outlaws
Long live Bikram and Bala
To every force there's a counter force
l am the equilibrium in this tale
Transferred me overnight?
ls Calcutta safe and sound?
lf it were safe, would l call my best officer?
l'm under great pressure, Satya
The elections and Durga festival are 3 weeks away
Every political party has one concern:
To get the unemployed youth back on the right path
Clean up the city
That's government work. Why us?
So many files?
Only two culprits. Bikram and Bala
They're behind everything illegal
Calcutta's biggest outlaws in the eyes of the law
Yet benefactors to the needy
Roaming scotfree. Outlaws since they were 14
You called me to help them grow up?
Shall l try?
Yes. But we have no proof or witnesses
Two peas in a pod
Break them
Your thumbprint here
l keep saying: "Take my thumbprint." Now you won't stop
Your work is done. These deeds are for Bala's shares
He wants to be an artist. Won't stop painting Goddess Durga's eyes
Try it, uncle. A good deed
You'll go straight to heaven
- Where are they? - lnside
Where to?
Another word and l'll pull your tongue out
What do you call them? Lions?
Bikram and Bala?
Show some respect
Scum! Giving advice to sir?
Where are they?
Upstairs
Das called from Dhanbad
He wants us to sign the coal mine deal
Put it down
Who is Bikram? And Bala?
Can't he tell?
A man stands before Goddess Durga and asks...
...are You the Goddess?
Smart, very smart
l'm Satyajit Sarkar
The new Asst. Commissioner Police
Calcutta's top cop?
But Calcutta belongs to us and we belong to Calcutta
A drink? What will you take?
Take? l'm here to give you... a warning
You see these files?
A saga of your black market deals
The names of politicians are in files too
The law doesn't need files. lt needs proof and witnesses
Teaching law to the law, sonny?
The law can get it wrong
We respect the law
The day you have proof and witnesses, we'll come to you
Right, Bala?
Right
Smart. Very smart
l'll take your word for it
Let's take your files...
...and so be it
l'm opening a new file
The day we have evidence against you
l'll drag you two like dogs out of your kingdom
See you soon
Sir, you're a man of the law, but you act like an outlaw
This will be fun
Sure! We'll see
- Mr Bose, how are you? - All well
l came to return your money. Many thanks
Has your club opened?
Not till you cut the ribbon
Sure. We love cutting
Thank you
Another request
Wow!
You drew that?
My nephew Himanshu
Just graduated from college
lt's difficult finding a job
l can't hire him at the club. His mother will kill him
He respects you so much
Let him work for you
This is no football team so anyone can just sign up
No football team for me
Why not?
l don't like football, sir
The first Bengali l've met who doesn't like football
Tell you what
Keep him
He'll come in use
l'll be going
l've explained everything. He'll obey you
Stay here
Thank you
Uncle!
What is it?
Do something for me
lnvite Das to the club
We'll do the coal mine deal
Have you lost your mind?
Do the deal there? ln a public place?
Didn't you hear the ACP?
See a sign: "Do not urinate here"
That's where men pee the most
The ACP won't come there. Just call Das
What a great club
Hey! This is European style
How do we use it?
Please come
Lift your dhoti
You're an Englishman now
Madam! This is the gents. Can't you see?
Sure, l can
What?
This is the gents
The ladies was full. l had to go. So?
Ladies aren't allowed
l said sorry
This is wrong
Does the door have a sign...
...saying women need a license to enter?
Just relax
Get back to your business. Nice and quiet
What was that?
A bomb!
Exploded right in our face
Love is...
...a fire, O Ghalib
That burns without burning
That cannot be ectinguished
My peace of mind
ls in your hands, O beauty
l salute love, O friend
l salute love
My looks pierce like an arrow
l have you in my aim
l salute love, O friend
Bikram and Bala are at the club
Doing a deal with Das
Sure?
Kill me or spare me
Keep me or discard me
Change my life's course
Fill it with joy
Fire burns in my heart
Meet me in some lonely hour
Under the beauty's shadow
Nature comes alive
Many fall under my spell
Crazed with love for me
l salute love, O friend
lmagine a night like this
lmagine a moment like this
lmagine rain falling on us
Drenched by love are we
ln night's lonely journey
Love is unstoppable
Tossing and turning
Burning without flame
The beauty has set me alight
Take a deep breath and sigh
l salute love, O friend
Can we raid the club without a warrant?
lf we catch them with Das, no need of a warrant
We book them. Get it?
Finish?
Done?
What is it?
Looking for something you've lost?
That's right
l won't be lucky today
lf you're not fated to find it, you won't. Even if you tried
Luck was on their side today. Yours, too
Luck has a way of turning. When it does, they'll be mine
Take care of yourself
There's something l want to tell you
Same here
Let's say it together
l've fallen in love with the bathroom lady
Two hearts, same likes
Bikram, she's so gorgeous
Absolutely delicious
What do we do?
We toss
The winner tries his luck first
The loser tries his luck after that
Then it's up to the girl
She'll decide who is her star, her Rajesh Khanna
And l'll be Vinod Khanna
Oh my God!
What's up?
l see Goddess Durga in her
l swear it
She looks like Goddess Kali
See for yourself
l see Durga in her, you'll see Kali
l'll see who l see
Yes, you!
Stop grinning
What are you doing here?
Nothing
Why were the police after you?
Police! After me?
Where's your friend?
Waiting his turn
Meaning?
You here to buy fish?
l'll find you the city's best
Brother, the best hilsa for madam
lt's fresh
How much?
Just a thank you
Meaning?
l mean the fish is a gift from me
You're gifting me a fish?
A hilsa at that?
ln Calcutta it comes in a bride's dowry
So accept it as dowry
Dowry?
You acting smart?
Shall l call the police?
l'm off
O beloved, let us go
Let us journey beyond the moon
l am ready to journey with you
Sarita, come here
Sarita, answer me!
Hurry up!
Tie this up
Hurry! l'm on next
Your hands are shaking
Sarita! You?
l didn't mean to touch you. You told me to
l came here because...
You came into the gents by mistake
l made the same mistake
We're even, no?
l'll make it even right now
What time did they get back last night?
At six this morning
Drunk as skunks
And what were you doing? Drinking too?
Do Bikram and Bala live here?
Yes
Where?
Upstairs
You want to see them?
How about tomorrow?
Today, right now
Get up! Sleeping giants
Let us sleep, uncle
l'll be back later
What's going on?
What are you two doing?
So you're Calcutta's biggest gangsters?
That doesn't mean you can do as you please
What did you think?
l'm a cabaret dancer, l have no honour
l'd happily end up in bed with one. Then the other
We're honourable folk
We love you
You both do?
Yes!
l see
One lover and one for free?
That's a new one
Love doesn't run on a single track
lt needs two tracks
To go straight to the heart...
...you need to win the heart
So? We'll win your heart
So confident?
Ok
Agreed
l'll give you a week
Try winning my heart if you have the guts
What if we manage it?
l, Nandita, give you my word
l will belong forever to the one who wins my heart
You made an entry in my heart, bells rang out
Listen to my heart's commentary
Don't delay
Love can't be stopped. lt'll soon engulf you
No warranty against heartbreak
You made an entry in my heart, bells rang out
What? You're supposed to be a big time gangster
l'm in love
Sure?
Take my thumbprint
All right!
No whistling
No winking
No hitting on me
Great lovers are sweet liars
Telling tall stories of love
Take from me
Vows of fidelity
We're under your spell. Our hearts are yours
Many are my lovers
From all around the country
When l made my entry...
...bells rang out
Trying to win me with your sweet talk
Trying to get closer
You simpleton! You don't know me
Mistaking an ember for a star
l want you as you are
You're my very life
l want you as you are
You're the one l shall win
Sentiment is making you go all sentimental
You made an entry in my heart, bells rang out
Please, madam
What?
Did you hear bells ring?
Meaning?
lt's been a week
So it has
Give us your answer
l've made my mind up
l like one of you
l've given my word to Goddess Durga
l'll worship Her with the man of my choice
What's this?
A ticket
To my heart
Such a big question
Deserves a fitting answer
Tomorrow evening, at 6
Metro cinema
- Got the ticket - ...to her heart
Their gangster talents are gone
All for a girl
Drunken swagger, rosy cheeks
Not rosy...red
The colour of love is red
The colour of blood, too
When a bullet or passion hits you, you're a goner
Meaning?
Mister! Tread carefully on the path of love
A treacherous path it is
This path of love
Shall we?
- Don't feel like it today - Neither do l
l am light-headed without alcohol
My sweet Bala
One of us becomes her hero tomorrow
And the other is a round zero
He'll cry. And believe that...
...he is a sinner for desiring his sister-in-law
Bikram, promise me
Whoever she chooses must not ruin our friendship
- Promise? - Sure?
Take my thumbprint
You're so alluring
l am drunk with love
l'm drunk with love too!
She means me
She says she loves me
Hey hero!
She's my bride. Touch her and l'll bury you alive
You'll bury me?
You'll shoot me?
Nandita, go!
Stop!
He's shot him
Bala, run
l'll see Nandita home. Meet me under the bridge
Run!
What does life want of me?
When l try to be human...
...life explodes in my face
lt wasn't your fault
You didn't mean to kill him. lt was a mistake
A mistake?
Durga festival is next week
The police will be everywhere. The ACP is after our blood
Leave town for a few days
- Go to Das in Dhanbad - And Nandita?
l can't go without knowing her decision
- You nuts? - l love her
You're mad. Stop talking like a kid
You shot a man in full view
You'll be arrested if you stay
Ok, but promise me
You won't see or talk to Nandita till l return
She belongs to us both
l promise
She belongs to us both till you return
- Your thumbprint? - Want a slap?
The Goddess's idol is almost ready
She's incomplete without a weapon
So l did the needful
Hail Goddess Durga!
Smart. Very smart
What did you say? This will be fun. So, is it fun?
One friend is here, the other is on the run
l came here to tell you
l know full well
Who murdered the man in the cinema
This time l have proof and witnesses
Tell your friend if he wants to stay alive...
Keep away from Calcutta
lf he returns...
...he'll be welcomed by a police bullet. Mine
Why don't you change your ways?
We're like coal
Scrub as hard as you want
But you can't wash away the dirt
When we walk on the street, there's a question in every eye
Who are you? Why are you here? Where are you from?
We have no answers
l don't know about the others
But in my eyes
l see no difference between you and me
Come with me. lf you stay alone, you'll go crazy
No, l'm fine
Why?
Bala isn't here
So?
l made him a promise
That l wouldn't see or talk to you till he returns
What's this childishness?
Not childishness. Friendship
l respect your friendship
But l came here to tell you...
l love you, Bikram
And yes
l made a promise too
To Goddess Durga
That l'd worship Her with the man l love
So this evening you'll pray with me
Or else...
l'll never see you again
ls that the truth?
l swear on Goddess Durga
What now?
Calcutta will explode like this coal mine
Why are you here, Himanshu? l told you to stay away
Bala is back, sir
His eyes are red with rage
Let's go play Holi
Hail Goddess Durga!
Ghosh, surround the temple
Chatterji, cover the ghat. You, come with me
Sir, look there
What are you doing here?
Happy Dusshera!
Bala, what are you doing here?
What difference does it make?
You did as you pleased
What do you mean?
You could've waited
Why the big hurry?
l would've happily got you married
- Bala, let me explain - Nothing left to explain
lt hurts me to know...
You didn't once think of our friendship or your promise
lt's all over, my friend
As a boy you used to say...
l was hotheaded
l boil over like hot milk
Today l won't boil
l'll explode
Got you!
Bala!
Over here
Look over there
We've got him
Stop. Bala!
Come up!
O Goddess!
The scum escaped
Smart. Very smart
Bala was saved from my bullet
But can he shake off the guilt of shooting his love?
What shall we do?
We do nothing
Newton's law
For every action there is an opposite reaction
Things will just happen. Let's go
Cursed by the evil eye
Maybe mine
l am both Durga and Kali
Goddesses do not fear the evil eye
This is the first time in my life
l'm scared
For my sake?
Don't worry. l have two bullets for breakfast every morning
Did the doctor mix hash in your glucose?
No, l mixed...
...poison...
...in your friendship
Bala was always like this
Hotheaded
l'll explain things to him. He'll understand
Can l say something?
You must forgive Bala
Satyajit Sarkar
You've stirred up a storm
The phone hasn't stopped ringing
There's chaos in Parliament
A shoot out in a public place? And during Durga festival?
Explain this to me
lf you have proof against these two...
...why not arrest them?
What are you waiting for?
War
The war of love has great power
They were once inseparable
Now they're ready to skin each other alive
Bengal's gangsters are divided, sir
Cooperate with us
They are mere pawns in our game
lt'll be fun
Uncle!
Bala? When did you get back?
Why didn't you let me know?
- You didn't tell me either - Tell you what?
Did Bikram blindfold you too?
What are you saying, Bala? Where is Bikram?
To hell with Bikram!
Disaster has struck
What's happened?
He escaped my bullet
lt was you?
Nandita got hit
l missed for the first time. Wounded my own heart
l love her a lot
Find out if she's all right
l can't go
The police are after me. Go, see how she is
lf anything happens to Nandita, l'll burn Calcutta down
- How is she? - She just made it
- ls Bala all right? - No, he isn't
Did the police...?
Not the police. Love will destroy you both
l could slap you!
Destroying your friendship
- For a girl you just met? - Nandita...
Her name is Nandita
Yes, l know
He chants her name all day
He sent me here to find out if she's ok
He says he adores her. He'll burn the city down if she dies
- What did he say? - You heard me right
Bala knew exactly what he was doing
l thought he was just being childish
Go and tell him
l am a bigger gangster than he is
l love Nandita and she loves me
lf he utters her name again, l'll pull his tongue out
lf he wants me to forget what he's done...
Tell him to apologise
Apologise! My foot. Let Bikram go to hell
l'll shove it up his...
l'll see what a great gangster he is
There's nothing left between us
And what's left we share
Fifty-fifty
Calcutta swears by your friendship
- They'll swear by our enmity now - Don't be crazy
lf you two part, it's the end of our business
Think it over
l have
Bikram drew the portrait
But l'll colour it in
With dark red
Smart. Very smart
Never mourned my brother Dibakar
l promised his wife we would
l took an oath
l swore on Dibakar
l shan't be at peace till l kill Bikram and Bala
That's right. Keep your word
That's why you're part of the game
Who is the bishop in this game of chess?
You are, Himanshu
Careful. lf they suspect you...
...they'll kill you with more relish than they killed Dibakar
Stay close to Bala. Work for us
But l make the moves
l say: "Check...
"...and mate"
- You kidding me? - Dividing what business?
How is it possible?
That's the way it is
The coal, the gas, the wood all in Bikram's name
He's the sole owner of the business
We own nothing
Am l right?
Yes, Bala?
Bikram, well done!
Never have imagined it
When they list the greatest cheats in the world...
You'll top the list
l was busy painting the Goddess
You put your thumbprint on it all. Stole my share
l thought you were a tiger
But you're a fox
Real smart
You're the king now
The business is yours and the girl
So?
l won't let your happiness last. l want my share
lf you have guts where they're meant to be, come here
Give me my share. Or else l'll come to Calcutta
And if l do...
l'm on my way
Your ration card
You're legally lndian citizens now
Bikram Bose. Bala Bhattacharya
What are you sharing?
We have equal rights on everything
Ten for you
Ten for me
And this ration card in both our names
l don't need it anymore
- So we're even - One minute
You forgot the most important thing
What?
Nandita
l told you we share everything
You'll have to share Nandita
l'll bury you if you take her name
Can't l talk of her?
You tricked her into loving you
For years l cared for you more than a brother
l gave you my share of food
l held you till you fell asleep
l forgave your childish deeds
You turned out to be worse than an enemy
- You shot at me - Keeping score of the past?
You can't change my mind with your talk
lf you're so angry with me, then kill me
l'm not keeping score. Just reminding you
When l was a boy you once saved my life
l was indebted to you. But now we're quits
l will let you live
But if you take Nandita's name again...
...l'll rip you apart
l mean it, friend
Take my thumbprint
Bala and l started off here, 15 years ago
To think l hit him
You tried explaining. But he wouldn't hear you
lt pains me, Nandita
He believes l took you away from him by deceit
l know
lt's difficult. But we must make a fresh start
Will you marry me?
Nandita, l love you very much
l'll make you very happy
Remember you once said to me
You were like coal
Scrub as hard as you want
You'll never be rid of the dirt
lf you stay with me, you'll have to be rid of it
You must choose
Between a life of crime...
Or me
This is the first time
My soiled hands have ever touched an innocent girl
l won't let her go
l promise
l'll change
Never lived before l met you
My heart is in shreds
l was an outsider. A crazed one
Your love has tamed me
Never lived before
You know God loves me so much
That He drew only one line on my palm
A dark line of dark destiny
l'll turn so bad. Even coal will seem white next to me
l shall write your name in the blowing breeze
Embracing your slender shadow
Holding your shadow in my arms
You are love itself
l will encircle you in the embrace of my arms
Your eyes are beautiful
My world resides in them
l am lost
Like a wanderer in the desert
You fill my every breath
ln this world and the next
l will seek you out, O beloved
Happy Diwali!
Sarita, get my clothes. l need two minutes
You? Here?
The gents was full
Don't need a license to use the ladies
Let go!
l had to talk to you. No better place to talk
Our story began here, right?
l mean in a ladies like this
Our story?
lt was over ages ago
Sita belongs to Ram
You forgot one chapter of the Ramayana. Know which one?
Sita's abduction
You're in a big hurry, Bikram
l hear your warehouse was burned down
And a young cabaret dancer was kidnapped
Suspect anyone?
A hurt friend is more dangerous than an enemy
You look as if you could pump him with six bullets
How will you destroy him?
lf you get him, the law will get you
You'll gain nothing
He played a treacherous game
A blow to your head and heart
lf you're smart...
...make sure he lives, but wishes he were dead
How?
Stand witness against him
l'll prepare the charge sheet with you as prosecution witness
l'll have him imprisoned
He's inside and you're outside with Nandita
Honeymoon
How do you know where Bala is?
How many members in your gang?
Tell me
About 40
l have 40,000. And they're everywhere
l can arrest him any time l want
We'll be waiting for you in court at 1 1 tomorrow
Be there
What are you doing? Why bring her here?
Why?
You'll force yourself on her?
You think she'll fall in love with you?
Bala, you were right
Coal looks cleaner than you right now
Bala, enough. Stop now!
l'm talking to you. Understand?
Did she eat?
No
Eat something
This is a new place. Must feel odd
You'll get used to it
You'll like it here
Stop being angry, Nandita
Stay a few days. You'll fall in love with me soon
We'll marry. All will be well
What rot are you talking? You crazy?
My head is all there. lt's my heart that aches
l have no peace
Swear on Goddess Durga
l'll love you so much, you won't think of Bikram again
Have you gone mad?
- Think what you're saying - l have
Forget about Bikram or else...
- Or else, what? - Or else l'll kill you
What about your manhood? Aiming your gun on any pretext?
Want the truth?
You're very brave, right?
So let me clear up things
lf l stayed with you for a few days...
...or a few months or years
l'll never stop loving Bikram
Want to know why?
He knows what's right and wrong. You don't
You came from the same coal mine
But he's a diamond and you're just coal
Bikram didn't sweep me off my feet
He didn't seduce me either
l fell in love with him
l wanted him to love me
But he wanted to wait for you
He promised a friend. But what did that friend do?
Aimed a gun at him
You want to love me?
You never cared for your friend. Would you care for me?
Tell you what
Shoot me
Go on!
l'll never be yours as long as l live
Meera once pined for Krishna
Leaving shame and the world behind
To yearn and pine in love
ls Krishna's turn now
l lost my life
lt was a game for you
Estranged from myself
Broken inside
l was loyal to love
Robbed myself of everything
lt's all gone now
Life has no meaning without my beloved
Why do l see only my beloved?
When she hurts me
Rejects me so
Sorry
Madam, l love you too
You'll bury me?
My dreams were shattered
By the blows of sorrow
l cannot escape desire's whirlpool
No one to save me, none to call out to me
Yet l hear a voice beckoning from beyond the clouds
How lost l am without my beloved
Don't know how to apologise
Never had to before
This is the first time l've loved
My pride was hurt
Now my heart is broken
Try and forgive me
Who are you? Who do you work for?
Good job, officer
l can't do this anymore
l want out of this mission
Why? Have you fallen in love for real?
Have you lost your mind?
They're criminals. Outlaws
lt was all an act to bring them to court
You're right. That was my plan too
But l got to know them
Behind their bad name
They're innocent souls with love in their hearts
They're children, sir
l can't play this game with them anymore
So they must have some virtues
l can hear their voices behind your words
lt's the truth, sir
They're not responsible for their bad deeds
Circumstances were bad
Two wrongs don't make a right
Who doesn't face hard times?
What if everyone took to crime, blaming circumstances?
lt's no longer about them, Nandita
lf we let them go, we set a bad example for wayward boys
They're trapped in a dark tunnel with no light at the end
lt's the law. l'll do my duty. And so must you
Control your feelings. Do your duty
You'll know what's right
Bannerjee?
Tell Himanshu, it's time to take his revenge
Where is Bala?
At the coal mine with Das
- Who is with him? - Our men
- What is it? - l'll explain later. ls Nandita ok?
Nandita? Bala left her at your place this morning
What?
The man in the cinema who Bala shot is alive
He's a cop
A trap Satyajit Sarkar set for us
He knew full well
To divide us he had to first break us
To cause a rift between us
No point in going over the past
Let's plan our next move
The law will help us
So it'll be on our side?
There is law and order and a system here
Like hell there is!
What law and order and system do you mean?
The system only grabs
lt snatched away our childhood and put guns in our hands
We tried to do the right thing, but it blackened our faces
Nandita, your system gives birth to outlaws like us
lt plays with us
Then plots to kill us
Everyone has the chance to redeem themselves
We made no mistakes
We only wanted our rights
We grabbed them when we didn't get them
What will you do?
Grab them again
l must call Bala back
No, Bikram
You promised you wouldn't break the law again
l never promised not to help my innocent friend
l'm going
You're coming with me
l can't come with you
And you're going nowhere
lnspector Nandita Sengupta
Calcutta police
Damn it!
l get it!
Satyajit used the finest fish to trap a crocodile
Listen to me
Surrender yourself. l'll help you
What are you made of?
l'm only doing my job, Bikram
That's the truth. lt's also true that l love you
You must believe me
And l'm the Prime Minister? You believe me?
We would've died for you from day one
We would've surrendered, just for your smile
But you're the system, too
We were born when the country was divided
And you divided our hearts
Mine and Bala's
Give me a chance to help you
And Bala?
Who saves Bala?
Think of yourself first
We'll worry about him later
- lf you go now... - That's what l'm about to do
We're outlaws, madam
Once we live with someone
We die with them too
Stop, Bikram
- What's Das doing here? - Don't know. He asked us down
Where's Das?
Life's cycle ends where it started
Who are you? Eh?
You want the whole story?
Listen
The train...
Full of coal? Remember Dibakar?
Remember the boy whose face was covered?
Dibakar was my brother
l'll bury you in the coal you stole from Dibakar and killed him
Never should trust a Bengali who doesn't like football
Don't laugh, scum. Remember
lf Bikram hears of this...
...you'll die a worse death than Dibakar
Do you think our plans are so flimsy?
The girl you wanted to kill one another for...
...she's the ace in the pack
Nandita is a police inspector
Satyajit Sarkar sent her to divide you adoring friends
Bikram and Bala
And as far as l know...
...Bikram has died at the hands of his lover
And l bury you here
A perfect tragedy. Push him in!
Who'll save you?
See who's there
Find them!
lf you're reborn a Bengali, make sure you like football
Forgive me if l apologise?
Since when did you need to?
l made a terrible mistake
l didn't think straight. Don't know what l was doing
Forgive me, friend
Done!
Sure?
Take my thumbprint
l didn't know this mission would take such a toll on you
But the job is done
You don't have to come with me. Go
No, sir
Until they surrender...
...this mission won't be over for you or for me
Don't laugh
Stupid idea we had!
Toss and the winner is her Rajesh Khanna
Her hero! Like hell
Now eat her bullet. Be the bad guy
We really loved her
When we first saw her our lives turned rosy
Now we get shot and our rosy lives will turn red
Whatever happens, we regret nothing
Forgive Nandita
She loves you. l swear on Goddess Durga
Forgive her
lf you don't forgive her, you won't forget her
And your heart will torment you
- l hit you because of her - l shot at you. We're even
Forgive her
For my sake
We're big-hearted, even if they aren't
- l forgive her - You haven't
l said it
- l forgive her - Liar!
- You haven't - Want my thumbprint?
That's more like it!
So the brothers unite. Happy ending
Surrender!
You forget, we're outlaws
No one has managed to arrest us. Nor will they
Born from tragedy. Emerging strong
God is on our side
We belong to Him
We are outlaws. The outlaws
Bikram!
Stop this madness, Bikram
You'll gain nothing
No way out, Bala. Finish. The end
l'll give you another chance. Surrender. You'll be ok
Our hearts won't listen. What's the point now?
Repent and you'll live a peaceful life
We don't have cool blood in our veins, sir
We've been running since we were kids
Still running
Nonsense talk!
You can try, you can change
What about our names?
How do we wash away the dirt from our names?
We never had anything. We gave you all we had
Anyway you can't shoot me
Or you would've already
How could l kill you, Bikram?
How would l have convinced you...
...that my love was true?
l couldn't shoot you. My love stood in the way
Today a criminal stands in duty's way
My aim won't miss
l know you endured much injustice in your life
But life is giving you another chance
Take my hand. Come here
Listen to me, Bala
Thank you for offering to help me
lf we were offered help when we were helpless
We would not be outlaws today
l love you very much
l love you too
Forgive me
What can l do, sir?
We're stubborn. We can't change our ways
l must go
Life has no meaning without You
l lack nothing without You
With You l can overcome every obstacle
Without You l am lost
We were stars of the sky
Descending on earth, we found ourselves
Found faith, found colour. Found our voice
We sought heaven
But at every turning
We found hate, war and borders
But the world will change one day
A new dawn is bound to break
Courage will be ours. We belong to God
We were outlaws. Still are. And always will be
