So, Mr. Detective, do you know how much of a big deal the minister is?
I made a mistake.
The collector asked me to keep an eye on his wife.
I had no idea I'd find her in the hotel with the minister...
-Sir! -Asshole!
Check if all the photos and negatives are there.
No. No, sir.
Where did you hide them?
If I tell you, will you let me go?
Negotiating?
No, sir. I am not negotiating. It's a humble request, sir.
Talk to the minister and get me pardoned.
How smart, dear. Good job.
Right. That...
The briefcase has a fake bottom.
Check, guys!
Pick it up.
Bring it here.
-Mr. Baanke Lal. -Yes, sir.
The penal code calls for how many years?
Seven years imprisonment.
But who knows with our minister.
He might add a couple of murder cases. He's going away for a while.
Sir, I have some information, for you, sir.
About Madan Kumar.
Madam, we arrested a detective, called Dilawar Kapoor alias DK.
Madan Kumar? Motherfucker!
Madan Kumar is a big star...
But...
That night this detective saw with his own eyes
that Madan Kumar beat Jamshed mercilessly and left him to die in that vehicle.
One more thing, madam.
This detective also works for Mr. Roy.
Those photos...
He said
that he handed them over to Mr. Roy.
Photos?
The ones the detective gave me?
Yes.
Yes, I have them.
Wiserman gave them to me.
It's all there.
Along with the negatives.
Where were you planning to run away this time?
Moscow?
Please, Roy, you can punish me all you want.
But the proof of Jamshed's death
which Dilawar Kapoor handed over to you,
please give it to me.
Sumitra, what do you think?
Do you think I'd keep the pictures, or as you would say,
the evidence that would destroy my Madan Kumar?
I burned them that day.
Madan Kumar. Your Madan Kumar.
He is a murderer.
He has given unprecedented box office collections to Roy Talkies.
He may have killed someone.
But he didn't harm me.
And he didn't betray me
like you did.
Srikant...
I was eloping with Jamshed to Karachi...
...because he was willing to give up Madan Kumar's stardom for me.
You came to Ratlam because Madan Kumar was missing.
Roy Talkies needed its biggest star
and you needed a businesswoman to run the studio.
Sumitra.
Your photographs and negatives.
Even if Jamshed wasn't mine, as long as he was anywhere in the world,
alive and happy...
I would have been alright.
Madan Kumar took that away from me.
I will take away Madan Kumar from Binod.
Whose murder?
The real Madan Kumar's.
Make any movie you want. I'll support you.
Yeah, but who will act in the movie?
Your Roy Talkies has in-house artists, stars.
-No star is bigger than Roy's dreams. -Not even Madan Kumar?
Not even Madan Kumar.
You will be the star in this movie.
You aren't a propaganda star, Madan.
Madan Kumar has always fought against the system.
That's his image.
Srikant Roy's stars, which include Madan Kumar
are not his personal property.
They belong to Roy Talkies Private Limited. They're employees.
Now, if Roy Talkies shuts down...
dissolves...
then you all are not bound.
We might be able to help you then.
Wave it, Captain
The king of ocean
Wave it, Captain

It's Madan Kumar.
You are my guiding star

This world is all ours
You are my guiding star
In your life's memoir
Thank you.
I took my boat In the open sea
I made my destiny Under the open skies
The wind and fate changed
But never our companionship
You are my guiding star
In your life's memoir
You are my guiding star
In your life's memoir
If you're mine, and I'm yours
This world is all ours
You are my guiding star
In your life's memoir
Trust me

A new actor...
Who will remind you of Madan Kumar's stardom,
but he won't have to bear the burden of his image.
My own banner.
Asghar also wants to quit Roy Talkies.
He has a story...
With patriotism, socialism, everything.
The name of the movie is Andolan.
What about Roy Talkies?
How is the Preview Theater coming along, Mr. Majumdar?
Almost complete, sir.
What did you want to discuss?
Sir, the government is going to make an agreement with the Russians...
regarding cotton exports.
Cotton stocks will rise.
Sir, our guy in the foreign ministry has sent this copy of the letter.
Sir, I had to adjust ten thousand rupees in accounts
for the bribe.
It's a wonderful news, Mr. Majumdar. Well done!
Take out as much money as you can
from the liquid funds we have in Roy Talkies and against assets.
But, sir, why take the risk?
Rajmahal flopped but some other movie can be a hit.
Any asshole can make a hit movie, Mr. Majumdar.
A movie should be something which can blow people's minds.
Like Mehboob's Roti, Mr. Gyan's Kismet, our Sunghursh!
And now, Kashmir Ke Phool on Cinemascope, big screen.
Even Mughal-e-Azam is being made, but it is just wasting money.
I have seen a reel, Mr. Majumdar.
Mughal-e-Azam will seal everyone's mouth shut the day it releases.
You need big money for big movies, Mr. Majumdar.
-You showed him the paper? -Yes.
Here are your son's admission papers
to Moscow Engineering College.
I always wanted my son to study abroad.
Just like how Mr. Roy studied in Germany.
Mr. Majumdar, you won't have
to work after this.
Yes, thank you.
Hey! Jay, you're back from Kashmir?
Yes, should I have stayed?
What's up? All well?
I want a hen that does a lot of pecking
I don't want to go to my in-laws
Because my mother-in-law pesters me a lot
Younger brother-in-law fought with sis-in-law
The black scarf has gotten stuck in a hook
Younger brother-in-law fought with sis-in-law
I want a hen that does a lot of pecking
What took you so long?
-The train arrived in the evening. -Why didn't you wait?
Kiran is Pratap's daughter...
because of whom you have your studio,
and you've earned some fame.
He is using that fame for elections.
That's better than a worthless hooker
who is just using you.
You will have to marry Kiran.
She trusted you and waited for you.
Understand?
This is between me and Kiran.
Go eat food. You must be hungry.
Pratap hired a fancy chef.
I am not hungry.
The prostitute fed me well.
The convoy of freedom fighters is growing.
English officers continue beating them with sticks.
Kumar is leading the convoy like a true star...
-and shouting slogans-- -Slogans!
Naren...
-Kumar is shouting slogans. -Slogans!
My beloved...
-It's evening, and your dreams-- -Enough Naren.
What're you doing? What will he think?
He's a child.
It's funny
I broke up with my honey Listen you guys--
Naren!
Someone got clever
And someone never got wiser
Naren!
Someone got scared
Someone got braver Someone got jealous
Naren!
Wait, Asghar.
Asghar, how did the narration go?
Narration and Naren do not belong in one sentence, Mr. Madan.
We'll sit together and do--
Rajmahal flopped because of you and Mr. Roy.
But you didn't lose a thing.
You're still a star, doing movies. Mr. Roy still makes movies in his studio.
All the technicians are busy with movies.
I am the only one who lost, only me.
Let's go inside--
This is your Jotwani's signing amount.
Naren!
Where is he? What happened?
He doesn't want to be an actor, why do you force him?
-He wants to be a singer. Sing playback-- -Where is he? Naren!
Naren!
Binod.
Brother, I'll listen to Asghar's story. Please don't beat me up.
Brother!
Binod!
You go inside!
Ratna, go!
If I wasn't worried about scarring your face, I would've slapped you harder.
Wants to be a singer. Naren!
You are grown up now, you're not a kid any more.
Yes?
I asked you if you were interested in the news.
Where's Madan Kumar's news?
Really? Then, whose hands is it in?
Send me the rough proof of today's edition immediately.
The front page with Madan Kumar's story, quick!
Only me and my reporter knew of this, but I got a call from above.
Nothing is to be printed against Madan Kumar.
-What do you mean, from above? -The bosses.
They heard from a government department.
Government department?
I&B Ministry.
Mullick.
one of our phones was being tapped.
They knew our conversation word for word.
It can't be yours,
Income Tax Department. Open the gate.
Everyone move over.
-Check the phone and cupboards. -Yes.
Stop it!
Arrest him, Sergeant!
Let him go.
These are Mr. Roy's bail papers.
You can follow the search warrant. Continue searching.
No one is stopping your work.
Release him.
Are these guys with you? They obeyed you.
You all come with me.
Yes. I am behind all this.
I might have made
a lot of mistakes in my life,
but regretting my actions
and apologizing
is against my principles.
My gun...
is also empty now, Binod.
I was just...
trying to scare everyone.
Mr. Roy,
get a hold of yourself.
I thought you would take care of me...
Madan Kumar...
Sumitra Kumari will take care of me.
You betrayed me too.
You chose not to change with the times, Mr. Roy!
Srikant Roy has always been ahead of his time.
Time doesn't have what it takes to move ahead of Roy.
Power is not in bowing to changing times
and changing systems.
There is no power in making movies according to their propaganda.
Cinema can raise the level of the people
I created Madan Kumar, to fight with the system,
to empower those very people.
Mr. Roy,
Madan Kumar was born here
and will die here today.
I promise you.
I will never be Madan Kumar again.
How many Madan Kumars will you kill, Binod?
You killed one in Lucknow.
And today, you are murdering the other one here?
-Okay? -Yes, raise it higher, little more.
To the right.
Raise it higher. Yes, this is good.
-Okay? -Move it a little to the right.
-Hold it properly. -And?
Yes, tie it there itself. Yes, tie it there.
Here?
Hold it, man. Quick, from this side.
-Shall we take it higher? -A little more.
This is good.
That's it.
-Okay? -Tie it firmly.
Is it visible, where is it?
Dreams are getting bigger.
People's hearts are getting smaller.
Jotwani,
the Russians,
Motherfucker Madan Kumar...
are joining hands.
You are giving me Jotwani's inside information?
A Sindhi betraying another Sindhi?
Am I a traitor?
Everyone's a traitor.
Using religion and the caste to use people.
Why did we have to leave our homes in Karachi and come here?
Due to the partition?
-We got here-- -I cannot marry Kiran.
I want to marry Niloufer.
What am I saying...
and what are you saying?
I don't know.
Marry her.
You are the boss...
of your studio.
You can do whatever you want.
I used to do petty crimes in the camp.
You taught me how to be a boss.
A broke guy managed to buy land for a studio.
There's no land in Bombay.
So I'm getting into
the business of land.
I will be a boss,
like you.
You are a boss...
so stay a boss.
Don't be afraid.
You will never be able to escape your brother's shadow.
What shall I do then?
Leave when you get the chance.
Do what you want.
And if I'm not around, when you get back,
meet me in the next life as my son.
Naren ran away.
-Name? -Naren Anand Das.
-Do you have a picture? -Yes.
-When did he go missing? -About five or six hours ago.
Jay?
Will you elope with me?
We don't have much time.
Srikant!
