Original subtitles

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 teo 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 extinguished

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
