Original subtitles

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

Were 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

Severed more heads than cut wheat

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

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?

The Forestry Department praises you

You've a record for getting suspended

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

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

...who causes bloodshed

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

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

Better to 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 your food!

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 melodious 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

Check over there

It's only 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...

...otherwise 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

...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

Something 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

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 faultI 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?

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 slaughter house 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 are 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 hours. And madam? For 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

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 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 is alive. 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

-If 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?

What are you doing?

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

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?

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?

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
