Do you hear that?
This is the XO speaking.
The halt at Baticoloa has been canceled.
And we're sailing directly to Bombay.
Our estimated date of arrival will now be 26th April, 15:00 hours.
Instead of 5th of May.
Congratulation.

"With you, my love, the world is colorful and vivid."
"You are the exciting night, I am the burning star."

Hello aunty, how are you?
Keep quiet.
Cynthia.
Where are you?
Madam's gone out, sir. - When?
Yesterday..
Yesterday afternoon.
Thank you.
Hello.
Preeti..it's Rustom.
Oh hi, Rusi. When did you return?
Just now.
Can I talk to Cynthia, please?
Cynthia isn't here.
In fact, I haven't seen her for days now.
Okay, okay.. - But..
"My dear Cynthia, women like you are one in a million.
"L am really am a big admirer of your beauty."
"The memories of that night which I spent with you doesn't let me sleep."
"Yours.. and only yours.."
Hello.
Banabhai, Commander Rustom Pavri speaking.
I want to speak to Vikram.
But Commander sir, he's not at home.
I'll miss you.
Let it be, Jamnabai.
"Your hands in mine.. together we go on a journey.."
"..with our eyes locked.."
"..saying it all without uttering a word."
"The fragrance of your tresses still dwells in my breath."
"It stirs my soul, when I hold you in my arms."
"How can I forget.. ..what your eyes spoke?"
"How can I forget the night that we spent together?"
"Yours.. and only yours.. Vikram."
Russi, please. I can explain.
Trust me, darling.
You cannot!
Don't go soft on me, Lt. Bisht.
Go get me the register.
Sir.
Good morning, sir. - Good morning, Rosy.
Is Vikram in? - Mr. Vikram hasn't arrived yet.
Please take a seat. I'll order tea or coffee for you.
No thank you.
You're looking gorgeous today.
Thanks. - Bye.
How are you, Banabhai? - I am fine.
Vikram.
Sir. - Did they talk?
No, sir.
Sir!
Tell me honestly where were you all last night during duty hours?
Honestly, sir.
Last night we left with the jeep for patrolling..
...and got a flat tyre.
It took us a while to find a garage and fix it.
It can't be a coincidence..
...that you took the jeep with the broken-down wireless.
And then it also had a flat tyre.
And now you guys are returning after your duty hours are over.
Sir, we won't lie to you.
Well.. I believe what you say.
All of you write a report.
Doesn't have to be a long one.
Just write which tyre was punctured.
Without consulting each other.
Forgive us, sir.
There wasn't much work yesterday..
...so we were strolling on the beach.
Pat“. - 8'“.
Deduct seven days salary. - But sir..
Out!
Another failed attempt to fool..
...Bombay CID's most talented officer.
This is my last signature.
I am on a holiday from tomorrow.
15 days of rest and relaxation. - Okay.
I am Commander Rustom Pavri, Indian Navy.
Vikram Makhija died by my hands.
And I want to surrender.
Can I have a glass of water please?
What?
Madam..please wait.. - Get Lost
Who the hell is in-charge here?
Vincent Lobo, investigating officer.
Rustom Pavri killed my brother!
Arrest him right now!
Commander Pavri surrendered himself half an hour ago.
Then what are you doing here?
Go there, interrogate him.
Madam, I don't need you to tell me what I need to do.
Do you have any idea who you're talking to?
Or who's the guy who died?
I've really high connections.
It's best you just do as I say. - No, madam.
You will do as I say.
This is a crime scene, and you're contaminating the evidence.
So please get out right now.
Please leave, madam.
They don't even let me pee in peace.
Yes.
Erich sir, it's me Tukaram.
Yes, Tukia, what's the news?
Sir, Vikram Makhija, the owner of Imperial Motors..
...has been murdered.
What are you saying?
Who killed him?
That news is worth 50 rupees.
His killer is some high-ranking officer from the Navy.
What's his name?
Commander Rustom Pavri.
Pavri?
Tukia, I'll pay you 100.
But don't give this piece of news to any other newspaper.
Don't worry, sir.
Lord, you're so merciful.
My days will soon come back.
"Fire in the Dockyard, 300 perish."
12,000 copies sold.
"Rains Gold."
17,000 copies sold.
"Train Derails. 400 die."
13,500 copies sold.
Where were you?
Stop the press right now?
But sir, the press is already rolling. We'll be facing losses.
You fool, don't worry about that.
I've a piece of news..
...which will clear all your salary dues.
Go, and stop the press immediately. - Yes.
Commander sir.
Your wife is still waiting outside.
Would you.. - Please ask her to leave.
I don't want to meet anyone.
I am sorry.
This was bound to happen someday.
What do you mean?
Sir, I am sure you know about Vikram Makhija's character.
He thought he was cupid.
But there's one thing I don't understand.
How could the Commander's wife..
...fall for a man like him?
25 paise! 25 paise! 25 paise!
Commander steps out of the house, and lover steps in.
Find out whom did the brave Commander shoot.
25 paise! Here's your change, madam.
Here you go, sir.
And go home quickly, your wife's all alone at home.
Go sir, go now.
Lakshman, I want him hanged.
Don't worry.
Vikram was an important member of our Sindhi community.
I guarantee you Rustom's conviction.
And what about him?
It's just a tabloid, just ignore it.
No one takes this piece of crap or its bankrupt owner seriously.
He is a nobody.
I've an appointment with JJ sir. - Sure.
Yes, Erich, what do you want?
You must have heard about Rustom Pavri.
Makhija had it coming.
Just sad to hear about Rustom.
I've met him a couple of times.
Nice boy.
JJ sir, Lakshman Khangani's been handed this case.
So?
Can't be a coincidence that Vikram and Khangani are Sindhis.
Preeti Makhija is using her influence.
Come to the point, Erich.
We must help our fellow Parsi.
Don't give me this 'caring for fellow Parsis' crap.
Forget individuals, you didn't even spare our religion to sell your newspaper.
Tell me clearly, what do you want?
Sir, I want us..
I mean you, to appoint a good lawyer for Rustom.
Why?
JJ sir, Khangani is a cunning man.
And Rustom should get one fair chance to defend himself.
You can abuse me if you like..
..but even you know, Rustom did the right thing, in the wrong way.
And now he's alone.
And there will be an entire community against him.
How did you get here?
Taxi?
Did you pay the fare?
Okay, let's begin.
Thank you very much, JJ sir.
Erich. - Yes, sir?
Every morning I read all the newspapers.
The sympathy for Rustom amongst people shouldn't fade away.
The jury gives their verdict in the end.
It's the people who decide first.
Yes, sir.
50 paise! 50 paise!
Vikram Makhija practiced voodoo.
He would cast spells and charm the women.
Commander's supposed to be presented in the court.
Read all about it in our special edition for only 50 paise!
I've an application, from the Indian Navy.
Applicant introduce yourself.
My lord, I am Lt. Commander Pujari.
From the Naval Law Cadre.
On behalf of the Indian Navy..
..we've requested Commander Rustom Pavri..
..to be placed under Naval custody.
On what grounds?
My lord, Commander Pavri is a highly decorated officer of the Navy.
It won't be right to keep him with petty criminals.
He's a criminal.
He killed my brother!
He should remain in police custody.
Who are you?
I am Vikram Makhija's sister, Preeti Makhija.
I am sorry for your loss, Ms. Makhija.
But if you interrupt my court proceedings again..
..then I will hold you in contempt.
Sit down.
Preeti.
Proceed.
Sir, whenever his presence is required, we will bring him here.
The Navy is willing to give this undertaking.
Any objections from the investigating officer?
None, my lord.
Excuse me, my lord.
I want to remain in police custody.
I don't want any special treatment because of my rank or achievements.
Excuse me, my lord.
I am Captain C.P. Cherian.
My lord, with your permission..
...can I speak with Commander Pavri for a minute?
Rustom, the Navy supports you.
You'll be kept in the officer's mess.
And you will have all the amenities.
Sir, I would like to remain in police custody.
These are direct orders.
I refuse.
Do you know the consequences of your attitude?
My lord, I would like to request the court..
...to keep me in police custody.
Please.
Thank you, your honor.
What's the status of the charge-sheet, officer?
Sir, I am still investigating.
Please file the charge-sheet as soon as possible.
Yes, sir.
The court grants Commander Pavri.. 7 days of police custody.
What was the relation between the Commander and Vikram?
They were friends.
In fact Rustom, Vikram, Cynthia and me..
We belonged to the same circle.
'F fiends .'
When did Mrs. Pavri and Vikram Makhija become close?
They would all meet quite frequently.
Sir, madam, Vikram, Preeti.
After sir left for London, then these three would meet.
That's when I felt something's fishy.
Where would they meet?
Everywhere.
Publicly...privately.
Madam would also come home.
Didn't you feel..this was wrong?
There was nothing wrong in it.
Cynthia wasn't a kid.
She liked my brother.
Haven't you heard the term 'consenting adults'?
Then?
He read the letters..
...and in a fit of rage he broke his photo frame.
What time did this happen?
At around 8:45am.
Then? What happened next?
The Commander simply said "It's alright" and left.
'London!
Mrs. Pavri.
Why did Commander Pavri go to London?
He was sent there on official duty.
Mrs. Pavri, how much did you actually like Vikram Makhija?
Can I leave please? I am very tired.
Sir, there's no reason to hold the Commander.
We should in fact give him another medal and let him go.
All well, Commander sir? Any problems?
Not at all.
And thank you for all this.
If you don't mind, I would like to ask you few questions..
...about your personal life.
If you don't want to answer them.. - Please ask.
When did you first meet Vikram Makhija?
Around 1 'A years ago.
On Rear Admiral Prashant Kamath's birthday party.
"L saw you a thousand times.."
"..then why the restlessness."
"My heart goes crazy when I see you.."
"..there's surely something about you."
"Every breath I draw seeks your permission."
"I fail to find myself.."
"..all that is left is you."
Permission to steal your beautiful wife, for a while?
I want to show-off a bit. - By all means, sir.
"Intolerant to a moment of separation from you.."
"..this feeling is something else."
"We are close despite being far.."
"..this bond is something else."
"I have seen you a thousand times.."
"..yet the eagerness persists."
"Uncontrollable is the heart.."
"..such is the way of love."
Do all Navy Admirals flirt like this, or..
No, this one's a bit decent.
Commander Rustom Pavri. - Vikram Makhija.
Pleasure meeting you.
So how's the Navy's Aviation program doing?
Excuse me?
The Navy's buying new ships, that's no more a secret.
It's doing well.
You know if we have 6 Kilo class submarines..
...15 Petre class missile boats and 5 R class destroyers.
...we'll be unbeatable in this region, let me tell you that.
Aah, Vikram. I see you've already met Rustom. - Just now.
This is Mrs. Cynthia Pavri.
Cynthia, this is Vikram Makhija, our host for the evening.
And this bungalow belongs to him. - Hello.
Pleasure to meet you. - Not his alone, it's mine too.
Hi.
Preeti Makhija.
My wife, Cynthia. - Hi.
Hi.
"Her presence illuminated the night."
"The moon itself bowed at her feet."
Well, he gets a bit poetic..
...in the presence of beautiful women.
Excuse him.
Vikram. - Yes?
Mr. Anderson is waiting for us. - Oh yes.
Excuse us.
Mr. Anderson.
Hello, hello, hello.
Sir, who is he?
Just a loaded civilian, Rustom.
And a dear friend.
He's the Indian representative for many British and American companies.
Decent chap. I'll vouch for him.
After that we met at many such parties.
And we became very good friends.
Sir. DCP sir is on the line.
Commander, why did you go to London?
USN, ' Huh'?
Meaning under the Official Secret Act..
...l cannot share those details with anyone.
I am sorry.
No, it's okay.
Do we have any other legal recourse? - Not advisable, sir.
But sir, does it matter whether Commander Pavri stays here or there.
I need those documents, Cherian.
At any cost.
If anyone gets their hands on those papers..
...then we'll be in deep trouble.
Send someone to his house.
Sohrab Khandwala, senior advocate.
I've come here to help you, my son.
I've decided to defend your case.
How can you make such a big mistake, brother Sohrab?
It's an open and shut case.
I killed Vikram, and I admit it.
Don't say this to anyone else..
...otherwise even I can't save you, let alone God.
Rustom, according to my sources..
...Cynthia was with Vikram before the incident.
And I will tell the people everything through my newspaper.
Don't worry.
Just sign this..
You'll stoop to publicly humiliating my wife in order to save me.
Thanks..but no thanks.
Yes?
Rustom is refusing to appoint any lawyer to defend his case.
Because he doesn't want you to get publicly humiliated.
Do you want to see Rustom walk free?
It doesn't bother me..what opinions others have about me.
But yes“
...I’m prepared to do anything in order to see Russi walk free.
We don't have to do 'anything'.
Just a little bit will do.
I am sorry, madam.
But he doesn't want to meet you today either.
I must see him. It's very important.
Madam, we've certain rules and regulations.
If he doesn't want to meet you, then you can't.. - Tukia.
Can you convey my message to him?
Commander sir.
Your wife sent this message.
I am so sorry, Russi.
I want to tell you everything.
I've lost all respect for myself so much..
...that sometimes I feel only my death is the end of all this.
Sorry. I was so lonely..l was naive and I was stupid you know, I was..
I was so stupid.
Russi, please talk to me.
I can't take your silence anymore.
I regret my actions.
'I started spending time with Preeti.'
'Spending some time with her would make me forget my loneliness.'
'Sometimes Vikram would join us as well.'
Then, on my birthday, Preeti arranged for a party, even though I refused.
In her bungalow.
When I arrived there..
I am so sorry, Cynthia. I must go to Pune immediately.
Actually, a friend of mine has met with an accident.
But..Vikram will take care of you tonight.
I'll see you when I am back. Bye.
Bye. - Take care.
Preeti!
Vikram, I am really sorry but.. I want to leave.
I don't know anyone.
Don't be silly, this is your party.
But I don't know anyone.
Oh, come on.
The most gorgeous woman on this planet doesn't need to care about it, right?
But.. - Okay, fine.
Just give it 10 minutes.
If you're still uncomfortable, you can leave.
May I?
Please!
Okay.
Ladies and Gentlemen, here she is.
The birthday girl, Cynthia.
Let's hear for her
"Happy birthday to you."
"Happy birthday, happy birthday.."
"Happy birthday, dear Cynthia."
'Vikram would never miss any opportunity.."
'To flatter me.. to get close to me.'
Don't.
Can you close your eyes for a moment? Please.
But Vikram.. - Cynthia, trust me.
Many, many happy returns of the day.
Vikram, I can't accept this.
Why? You didn't like it?
Because it's very.. - Expensive?
Yes.
What did you do?
How will you..
You had a problem accepting it.
And I had a problem with your problem.
Why waste our time over a piece of scrap?
You're completely crazy.
It wasn't scrap.
Now go find it.
Will you wear it if I do?
Yes, I will.
When Preeti didn't return for weeks..
...then Vikram would invite me to dinners and parties.
And one day.. when Vikram and I were alone at his Bungalow.
Seems like it's going to rain.
Come on.
Cynthia.
Wait.
You okay? - Yeah.
What happened?
I think it's a sprain.
Let's go inside, I'll call the doctor.
Vikram!
Trust me, Relax.
Cynthia, we didn't do anything wrong.
You know, Russi.. when you were leaving me..
...l was really hurt..
...because you weren't listening to me.
Maybe I wanted to hurt you too.
And in the process I made such a..
What happened next?
Strange.
Until yesterday the Commander didn't want to see his wife.
Now it's been over an hour.
I wonder what's cooking between them.
What's written on the note?
"Two men threatened me with a knife and forcefully barged in .."
"..and searched the entire house."
How do you know?
Why didn't you tell me?
What is this all about?
Did they take anything?
Nothing.
They were looking for something, but maybe they didn't find it.
Don't worry.
Now listen to me carefully.
Damn it!
Where could he have hidden it?
Commander's wife said "Don't punish an honest officer for my mistake".
Read all about it in our special edition for only 1 rupee.
Know Cynthia Pavri's story for only 1 rupee.
Know Cynthia Pavri's story for only 1 rupee..
You said, he's a nobody.
A has-been whose tabloid will soon shut down.
Well, his tabloid didn't shut down..
...instead it's getting increasingly difficult to buy a copy.
And did you read Cynthia's statement?
That bitch!
Lakshman, this newspaper is shifting the focus of the people..
...from my brother's murder to Rustom's honesty.
His honesty will make things easy for us, Preeti.
Rustom will admit to committing this murder in the court.
Matter closed.
Relax, Preeti.
Take a seat.
Commander Pavri, you don't want to appoint a lawyer.
Yes, your honor.
You've been accused under section-302..
...of murdering Vikram Makhija.
Do you admit to your crime?
No, my lord. I plead 'Not Guilty'.
Order! Order!
The trial begins on 25th May.
Will you defend your case personally? - Yes, my lord.
Remember this, Commander Pavri.
If you're found guilty in this court..
...then you can't make an appeal on the grounds of not appointing any lawyer.
My lord, I give you a written undertaking that..
...if this court finds me guilty..
...then I will never make an appeal to any higher court.
Commander sir.. playing all alone?
Then you will win each time.
Come, you make the first move.
You already made your first move.
Anyway-
Did Vikram and you share business relations?
I am a soldier, not a businessman.
When Vikram gifted such an expensive car to Mrs. Pavri..
...why didn't you object?
I thought about it, but I didn't think it would be right to object.
And on the other hand, my friendship with him didn't let me doubt him.
Trust can be a very, very funny thing.
Maybe Vikram grew bolder because you didn't object.
Quite possible.
Commander sir, since your marriage to Mrs. Pavri..
...did you have relations with any other woman? - No.
Commander sir, are all your parts intact?
Lobo sir, if you think real manliness lies in having an affair..
...with another woman while in a marriage..
...then your suspicions are true.
Check.
Checkmate!
I must admit, Commander.
When you sacrificed your queen, I thought you made a mistake.
But now I understand..
...it was a well-thought plan.
It's all about winning the game.
Whether you sacrifice your pawn, or the queen.
"Unfamiliar is the terrain.."
"Unknown are the enemies and the friends."
"Whether we die to find them or kill."
"Love is love after all, despite how we find it."
"Who cares about right and wrong!"
"The last man standing is the Rustom."
"If there's love, there's life.."
"If there's glory, it's in Rustom's name."
Cynthia, I am.. really worried about your future.
Why?
The navy has decided to dismiss Rustom.
And he might divorce you too.
And.. poor Vikram's dead too.
Sad.
You know, it's very difficult for a single woman..
...to survive without any support.
Please.
I have a way.. which will take care of your financial problems, for life.
Would you like to hear it? - Of course.
Rustom has some very extremely important and classified documents..
...which we want.
But he's acting kind of strange these days.
Look Cynthia, we're willing to give you one million rupees for this.
One million? - One million!
Pardon me, Admiral Kamath.
But now I am worried about your future.
Rustom had already warned me.
'Listen to me carefully.'
'Soon Admiral Kamath will come to see you..'
'..and he'll say that in my possession there are some important documents.'
'And he'll also offer you large amounts of money for it.'
'And when he does, you will hand over this envelope to him.'
ls he mad?
Where will we get 50 million?
Vikram Makhija's share was 50 million.
You must transfer that to this Swiss account now.
And what if I don't?
Well then Russi's asked me to tell you..
...that you know the consequences of not complying.
So under the garb of a patriot..
...he's just a bloody blackmailing opportunist.
Right?
But what will he do with the money?
Because according to me..
...he won't be seeing daylight for the next 14 years.
So.. - You don't worry about that.
Just transfer the money.
Rusi isn't stupid to hide such sensitive documents.
...in the cupboard or inside a pumpkin.
So he also asked me to tell you..
...that if you send your men to our house again..
...the amount will double up.
Thank you very much for the evening.
Something's missing out.
You didn't write what's in the wallet?
Patil sir took the inventory.
Tukiya. - Yes.
Check the statement file..
...and tell me the commander's movements on 27th April.
8:15 AM, the Commander leaves his home.
8:45 AM, he was on the ship.
10:00 AM, Imperial Motors.
And at 10:20 AM, he was at Vikram's home.
How long does it take to get to Imperial Motors from the ship?
It's close-by.
10 minutes by car.
So where was the Commander from 8:45 to 10:00?
Madam. - Yes.
I need some information.
I recognized immediately when I saw his picture in the newspaper.
That Navy officer made a lightening trunk call to Delhi.
'Excuse me.'
'Please go to booth no. 7. - Thank you.'
Sometimes we don't have the exact change..
...so we give stamps instead.
And since these stamps were launched last week..
...so I clearly remember them.
Madam, please give me the number he called in Delhi.
Yes, sir.
We've a problem.
Rustom's demanding 50 million.
Rustom! Rustom! Rustom!
How many seats do you want? - One.
20 rupees. - Ok.
"Unfamiliar is the terrain.."
"Unknown are the enemies and the friends."
"Whether we die to find them or kill."
"Love is love after all, despite how we find it."
"Who cares about right and wrong!"
"The last man standing is the Rustom."
Vikram towels, only Rs. 5!
Holds on even after you're dead.
It's durable..
"Love is friendship."
"Love is the weapon of choice, for Rustom."
"Who cares about right and wrong!"
"The last man standing is the Rustom."
First of all, I would like to welcome my jury members.
There's a huge responsibility on all of you today..
...which you must fulfill with determination and honesty.
ROP Commander Rustom Pavri..
...has been accused of murdering Vikram Makhija.
The lawyers from both the sides..
...will present their evidences, witnesses and arguments before you.
And you must hear them, understand..
...and then give your verdict.
Is Erich Bilimoria present in the court?
Yes, your honor.
You've written in your newspaper "Will the soldier get justice?".
Do you deny this? - No, your honor.
Do you know that you're insulting the court..
...by asking such a question on a public platform?
No, I just asked a question, your honor.
By putting a 'question mark' at the end of a statement..
...it also makes it an allegation.
Your question has doubted the capability of this court.
And for that you'll be kept behind bars..
...until the court proceedings go on.
Take him away.
Come on.
Now the prosecution will give its opening statement.
In our constitution, the law is equal for everyone.
Whether it's some rich socialite, or a common man or a soldier.
Commander Rustom Pavri is sitting amidst us, in his uniform.
When he committed the murder and surrendered himself..
...he was still in his uniform.
He's taking complete advantage of the uniform.
But you must assess the actions of the man behind the uniform..
...and give your judgment.
On the morning of 27th April, Rustom Pavri..
...murdered Vikram Makhija by firing three bullets at him.
Prosecution will prove this fact without any doubt.
Thank you.
That's all, your honor.
Defense, your opening.
Dear Jury, my uniform is my habit.
Just like my other good and bad habits.
Like breathing.. ..protecting my country.
Unhesitant.. ..selflessly.
Doing my duty.
I didn't commit any murder.
And the prosecution itself will prove this to you.
Thank you. Thank you my lord.
Our first witness is Dr. Asher..
...who's in-charge of the post-mortem at the government hospital.
'I swear I will tell the truth, and nothing but the truth.'
Dr. Asher, will you please tell our jury members..
...the reason for Vikram Makhija's death.
Due to three bullets shot to his heart.. - Thank you, Dr. Asher.
The jury members should note down..
...that Vikram Makhija died due to three bullets shot to his heart.
No further questions, your honor.
The court requests the prosecution..
...not to repeat everything.
The court pays attention the second time..
...as much as it does the first time.
Sorry, your honor.
Defense, your witness please.
No cross-examination, your honor.
Ms. Rosy, do you know Commander Pavri? - Yes.
He was a friend of my boss..
...and he's been to the office number of times.
I see.
Did he come to Imperial Motors on the 27th April?
Yes. He came at around 9:45.
Do you remember the expression on his face when he came in?
I clearly remember, sir. He was very angry.
Seemed like he was ready to kill someone.
What did he do next?
He asked whether Vikram sir's in the office or not.
What did you say?
I said he hasn't arrived yet.
Then I asked whether it was something urgent.
And his reply?
He said 'No'. 'Nothing urgent, I just want to kill him.'
What did he do then? - He left in a fit of rage.
Thank you.
Defense. Your witness, please.
Ms. Rosy, I would request you to tell the judge and jury..
...that everything you just said was a lie.
Objection, my lord.
This is misleading, confusing, vague.. it is..
It's unintelligible.
Commander Pavri, you can't ask that of the witness.
You have to prove her wrong.
My lord, I don't want to prove a lady wrong in the court..
...and cause her humiliation.
Commander Pavri, please forget your navy manners and protocol for a while.
Imagine that you're a.. a..
...shameless lawyer, who can ask the witness anything.
Ms. Rosy isn't it true that..
...when I came to the office that day, you asked me to sit at the reception..
...and also offered me tea/coffee?
Yes, it's true.
So Ms. Rosy, does that mean..
...you offer tea/coffee to every person that comes charging in with anger.
No.
But when you said you're going to kill Vikram sir..
...l thought if you drink tea/coffee, your anger might calm down.
Ms. Rosy, you were wearing a green color blouse that day.
And you were looking atrocious, very bad.
No, that day you said very gorgeous.
I was in a fit of rage, I wanted to kill Vikram..
...and I was also complimenting you on your outfit.
Isn't it strange, Ms. Rosy?
Objection, my lord. - What for?
Leading question, your honor.
Overruled.
After I left in a fit of rage, what did you do?
L.. got busy with my work.
Didn't you think about calling the police?
Objection, my lord. Calling for conclusion.
Overruled.
Thank you, your honor.
Forget the police..
After I left, didn't you think about calling up your boss..
...and telling him that I left in a fit of rage to kill him?
'..
I.. I was scared.
But you just said that you got busy.
I am very sorry, Ms. Rosy.
I had to prove you a liar in this court.
Objection, my lord.
The Commander's trying to mislead the jury..
...by claiming that Ms. Rosy lied.
But that's exactly what her statement proves.
And I am also apologizing to her for it.
Your honor, please.
The Commander should be.. - Mr. Khangnani.
I think I know what I should do.
I am sorry, your honor.
Commander Pavri.
Since you're not a professional lawyer..
...that's why I am overlooking some of your mistakes.
But I am warning you, please don't take me or this court for granted.
Next time you pull a stunt like this in my court..
...then I will hold you in contempt.
Sorry, your honor.
Jury will disregard the Commander's last line.
Our next witness is sub-inspector Patil..
...who's the IO of this case.
But according to the records..
...the IO of this case is Senior Inspector Vincent Lobo.
Where is he?
Sir, he has urgently gone to Delhi.
Got an appointment? - Tomorrow afternoon.
I don't understand your plan.
You know he's a big man. Well-connected too.
If anything goes wrong, we'll both get transferred to Andaman-Nicobar.
We won't. Just keep your mouth closed, and I'll handle the rest.
Now I would like to summon the eye-witness to this case..
...Banabhai Worli, to the witness box.
Banabhai, what happened on the morning of 27th April?
At around 10 AM, the doorbell rang.
'Is Vikram at home?'
What happened next?
After a while, when I went into Vikram's room..
...l saw that the Commander was pointing a gun at him.
And he shot Vikram three times in front of me.
In front of you? - Yes, sir.
He shot Vikram three times in front of me.
What did you do then?
I asked him, 'What have you done?'
And what was his answer?
He said..
'He had illegitimate relations with my wife, that's why I killed him'.
I didn't hear that properly.
Will you please repeat what he said?
He said..
'He had illegitimate relations with my wife, that's why I killed him'.
I have no further questions, your honor.
Rustom Pavri, your witness.
Banabhai, are you completely sure that you saw me shooting him?
Yes, sir. Don't you remember?
You shot Vikram thrice in front of me.
Banabhai, I ask you again.
Did you see me point a gun at Vikram and shoot him in the chest?
Objection, my lord.
The Commander is trying to intimidate the witness.
Commander Pavri, I think the victim..
...clearly knows the consequences of lying in the court.
I am sorry, your honor.
Banabhai, what was the condition of Vikram's room, when you came in?
The room was completely disrupted.
Did you have breakfast?
Irrelevant question, your honor. - It is relevant.
Just give me one minute, and I will prove it to you, your honor.
Thank you.
Did you have breakfast? - Yes, I did.
What do you normally eat for breakfast?
Pancakes, fritters or porridge.
Are you a vegetarian? - Yes.
What did you have for breakfast that day?
Well, I don't remember, but must be one of these things.
Why did you come in the room that day?
To ask Vikram what will he have for breakfast?
Your honor, according to this picture..
...there was already sausage, omelet and toast ready in the kitchen..
...which was Vikram Makhija's breakfast.
And according to his statement..
...there was no one else in the house.
Except for these two.
Banabhai, please don't say..
...that you were planning to start eating meat on that day.
Banabhai?
Forgive me, sir.
Forgive me.
Khangnani sir told me to lie.
I was in the kitchen when I heard the gunshots.
And as soon as I ran upstairs..
...l saw Vikram was lying on the ground, and..
...Commander sir was standing there with a gun in his hand.
Forgive me. Forgive me.
No more questions, your honor.
The court is dismissed for the day.
Mr. Khangnani.
Will you please come to my chamber?
Come on.
Sprinkle some pesticide inside. The place is infested with mosquitoes.
Hey man, this is jail not some hotel room?
How was the hearing today? - Too good.
The Commander outwitted Khangani.
Someone in the crowd handed me this.
He's asked you to call immediately.
Says he has important information.
5 rupees! 5 rupees! 5 rupees!
Rosy's a victim of Vikram Makhija's favors.
She had an abortion done last year.
And the child is said to be Vikram Makhija's.
Read all about it in our special edition, along with the evidence.
Only 5 rupees! Only 5 rupees!
Rustom! Rustom!
Good morning.
The jury has arrived. Quickly distribute the paper.
Rustom! Rustom!
This is for you. It's a free copy.
Is Mr. Erich Bilimoria present in the court?
Yes, your honor.
I warned you yesterday.
Yet you wrote about the witness Ms. Rozy's abortion.
And you also published her medical report.
Sir, it's my duty to bring the truth before the people.
Duty?
I see.
And you also distributed copies of your newspaper..
...to the jury members for free.
I thought they will get bored sitting there..
...so they could read something.
Silence.
Order! Order!
Mr. Bilimoria, I sentence you to..
...one day of jail and 100 rupees fine.
Come on.
Let's go.
Silence!
Jury members, you will ignore the newspaper statement.
Your honor, my next witness is Jamnabai.
I know.
Jamnabai.
Is it true that you've been working at the Commander's house..
...for the last three years, and you also live there? - Yes.
Will you please tell us what happened in the house on 27th April morning?
How would I know what happened in my house?
I was in Bombay.
Silence!
I mean in Commander Pavri's home.
Oh, you mean this house.
You should say like that.
Ma'am arrived in the morning, she talked to sir..
...after which sir left.
Ma'am arrived in the morning? - Yes.
What does that mean?
She wasn't at home for two days.
And your Commander sir, he was at home?
He returned from the sea the next day.
So didn't he ask who the madam went out with?
He never asks such a question.
What did he do next?
He went inside, opened the cupboards..
...took the letters out, read them, came out and drank whiskey.
How do you know it was whiskey?
Sir, sometimes I take a sip from it.
Silence!
What did he do next?
He chucked madam's photo-frame in a fit of rage.
Point to be noted, your honor.
He chucked the photo frame.
Sorry, your honor.
Jamnabai, why do you think he did such a thing?
What else would you do?
If you find out that your wife's been away from home for two days..
...with some other man.
Tell me.
Silence!
Order! Order!
Jamnabai, this case isn't against me, it's against your master.
Do you know who that man was? - Vikram Makhija.
Why do you have to twist your questions?
You could've asked me directly.
Look, sir. I am not educated like you, I am illiterate, a bumpkin.
But I do know that..
...if a soldier stays away from his home serving his country..
...and if another man sleeps with his wife, then he has no right to live!
If Rustom sir did shoot him..
...then he did the right thing.
Silence!
Silence! Order!
Jamnabai. - Yes, sir.
The court isn't interested in your opinion.
Please just answer the question.
Okay, sir.
But you tell me.
If you find out that your wife has been sleeping with this lawyer..
...then what will you do?
Come on.
Jamnabai, you too?
How are you?
Use this..
Use it, it will protect you from mosquito bites.
Take it.
Apply it, all over.
Did you know about the relation between Vikram and Cynthia?
Yes.
She was quite impressed by Vikram and his lifestyle.
And what was Vikram's reaction?
Vikram was a man.
And if a woman repeatedly sends signals to a man, then naturally, he..
You mean to say, that Cynthia took the initiative in the relationship?
Of course.
I've no further questions, your honor.
Commander Pavri, your witness, please.
My lord, I would like to cross-examine Ms. Preeti later.
Thank you.
Your honor, our next witness is Mrs. Cynthia Pavri.
Mrs. Pavri..
...did you have illegitimate relations with Vikram Makhija, or not?
Yes.
Commander Pavri, your witness, please.
Short while ago, Ms. Preeti said that..
...you took initiative in having a relation with Vikram.
Is it true?
No.
It was Vikram who took the first step.
And the conditions were such that it happened.
What were the conditions under which you had a relation with Vikram?
After that, I stayed away from Vikram.
Vikram wrote letters to me, he sent me gifts.
But I had decided to end my relation with Vikram.
Is it because I was coming back?
No.
I wasn't going to hide this from you.
I knew what I did was wrong.
Objection, my lord.
I was wondering whether you're feeling alright or not.
Sustained.
On 27th April, when you returned home..
...you were wounded on the head.
Will you tell the court what happened?
Vikram, we'll never meet again.
And it'll be better if you don't contact me again.
Fine.
Will you tell Rustom about us, or should I?
This is not a joke, darling.
What did you think?
We had this relation because I am crazy about you.
Wrong.
I wanted to take revenge from your husband.
Once he showed me the power of his uniform.
And now.. I showed the power of money..
...and got you here.
This is real power.
Sweetheart.
Don't be mistaken.
No matter how hard you try, or how much money you earn..
...a sleazy man like you can never be anything like Rustom.
You lousy piece of..
Do you blame Vikram for what happened with you?
No, only myself.
I shouldn't have broken your trust.
Do you have any remorse for what happened?
Objection, my lord.
This is irrelevant.
Overruled.
My lord, I would now like to cross-examine Ms. Preeti Makhija.
Ms. Preeti, did Vikram always carry his gun with him?
He had a licensed gun.
But I don't know whether he always carried it or not.
I am sure you know that he had a short-temper.
He would draw his gun over every trivial matter.
Am I right? - Not true at all.
Forget that.
Tell me..
...did your brother like poetry?
Yes, he did.
Good.
Your honor, this diary was recovered from his bedroom.
Can you take a look and tell me..
...whether this is your brother's handwriting or not?
Please.
Ms. Preeti, will you read this letter aloud, please.
'My dear Cynthia..'
Ms. Preeti, louder. Everyone must hear it.
'I thought you were a modern girl who was raised in London.'
'I don't think you should feel guilty at all.'
'Rustom spends months at sea.'
'He travels to foreign ports.'
'He has his share of fun, and I know that.'
That's okay.
Now, read this one.
And read it from here.
'You've no reason to be scared.'
Go ahead.
'Just like a man, even a woman can have..'
'..relations with more than one man without feeling guilty.'
That should be okay, thank you.
Think about it again.
Please come in.
Ramesh Shirke, OSD Home Department.
Sir!
How can I help you?
Bakshi sir, this is senior inspector Vincent Lobo, Bombay Police.
He's investigating Vikram Makhija murder.
And wants to speak to you regarding the case.
I see.
Actually you won't believe this, but I've been half expecting you.
And I am glad you are here.
First time I am hearing someone's glad to see the police.
What would you like to have? Tea or coffee?
By the way, they make really good tea.
Get two cups of tea.
Come, Mr. Lobo.
Please.
Yes, sir.
The day he murdered Vikram Makhija, he had telephone me in my office.
And told me all this.
But he made one mistake.
He didn't know that all the calls to the Defense Ministry are recorded.
And this will, without any doubt, prove Rustom's guilt.
Sir, can I get a copy of this?
Yes, of course. This one's for you. - Thank you, sir.
But sir, why didn't you handover this evidence personally?
Rustom is a decorated officer..
...and there are certain things that you earn, Mr. Lobo.
And now you have something, that you've earned rightfully.
Thank you, sir.
50 million transferred to Rustom's said account.
Madam, one ticket for the 10:00 AM flight to Bombay.
Sorry sir, the 10:00 AM flight is sold out.
I can accommodate you on the 02:00 PM flight.
Okay.
Get inside.
Sit quietly in the corner.
The prosecution wants to question Commander Rustom Pavri, my lord.
So tell me, Commander.
When you found out about your wife's illegitimate relation..
...what was the first thought that crossed your mind?
To murder Vikram.
Isn't this thinking wrong?
Not according to me, it's not.
Why? Do you have a different point of view from others?
I am an officer of the Indian Navy.
And even today being late is considered a serious offense.
Under such conditions, having an affair with your friend's wife..
...is an unpardonable offense..
...and assaulting a woman is a bigger offense.
And Vikram committed both these mistakes.
A man like Vikram has no right to live.
Silence!
And that's why you killed Vikram Makhija. - No.
I only answered your question..
...that such a man has no right to live.
But my intention wasn't to kill him.
Then what was it?
I only wanted to know why he did this to me.
And to know that, you withdrew a gun from the ship's armory.
Your honor..
...l would like to call Lt. Bisht.
On 27th April, you were the 'Officer Of The Day' on INS Mysore.
And in your presence, I took a gun from Mysore's armory.
Am I right? - Yes, sir.
Lt. Bisht, that day when I withdrew a gun from the armory..
...did you ask me to sign the register? - No, sir.
You asked for the register.
And could I have withdrawn this gun from the armory..
...without anyone's knowledge?
Of course you could, sir.
In fact, as the XO of the ship..
...you always have a second set of keys.
You could've withdrawn the gun if you wanted..
...used it, and kept it back, without anybody knowing.
Kudos!
Silence.
Silence. Silence.
I only took the gun for my self-defense.
Because Vikram would lose his temper easily.
And he would draw his gun for every trivial matter.
This is something completely new.
Do you have any way to prove this?
I would now like to call Mr. Ranjit Das to prove my point.
Mr. Das, what do you do?
I am the senior waiter at the Wellingdon Gymkhana now.
Before that I was a bearer at the CCI club.
Do you know Vikram Makhija? - Very well.
He was a regular member of our club.
Last year in January, an incident occurred with you.
Will you please tell the court what happened?
That day Vikram Makhija, you, your wife and Preeti madam..
...were all playing Bridge in the boardroom.
Have you finished packing for London? - Yeah.
By the way, I am coming there too next month.
You're going to stay at the Wicker's Guest house, right?
How do you know?
Sorry, sir.
I am very sorry, sir. - You bas***
It was a mistake, sir. Please don't abuse me.
You bloody bas***, how dare you?
Wait.. Enough, control yourself.
You go. Go.
Just leave me, I will kill this bloody.. - Vikram, no.
Stop it.
So according to your statement..
...you dropped juice on Vikram Makhija's shoes by mistake..
...and he drew out his gun and pointed at you. - Yes.
That's all, your honor.
Your honor, I want to ask Mr. Das just one question.
Other than the Commander and his wife..
...is there any other witness who can prove..
...that everything happened the way you said it?
I don't have more questions for him, your honor.
You can go.
Hold on, Mr. Das. Just a minute.
Mr. Das, when such an incident occurs in big clubs..
...then how do the club officials tackle it?
They order an enquiry for it.
And the club's committee performs a detailed investigation of the case.
My lord..
...there was an enquiry after that incident as well.
These clubs are more than 50 years old..
...and they take their tradition quite seriously.
They suspended Vikram Makhija's membership until the enquiry.
And only after an apology note and his influence..
...they reinstated his membership.
This is the club's minutes of meeting file.
And this is a copy of the apology note..
...where Vikram Makhija has clearly said that..
...he drew his gun in a fit of rage and he also assured..
...the members of the club that he will never do such a thing again.
This apology note and Mr. Das' statement proves..
...that Vikram would lose his temper over trivial things..
...and draw his gun out.
Since I had seen his behavior before..
...l thought it would be right to take my gun along too.
And that day, when I went to speak to Vikram.
Vikram.
What's the matter, Commander sir?
So early in the morning?
Will you..
...marry Cynthia? - What?
Will I marry every woman I sleep with?
Behave, Vikram.
Don't forget, Rustom, that you're in my home.
And if I want.. - What can you do?
I fired.. but, my lord, only in self-defense.
Commander, was it necessary to fire three times in self-defense?
To explain that, I must show you something.
May I, my lord?
Thank you.
Khangnani sir, this is the Indian Navy basic training manual.
Ma'am, will you please turn to page no. 24?
'Close Combat Situations.'
Now, will you please read the methods written here?
The Navy says Hit First, Hit Hard and Keep Hitting.
If someone's pointing the gun at you..
...then you can shoot without any hesitation.
And you will fire in a burst of three bullets.
Thank you very much, ma'am.
My lord, what I did was just a reflex action because of my training.
Commander, according to your fictitious story..
...you and Vikram had a struggle. - Yes.
So what can be the reason that even after a fierce struggle.
...Vikram Makhija's towel stayed on his body?
And according to the police report..
...there wasn't a single speck of dust on your white uniform.
Khangnani sir, do you want to say that..
...l went to Vikram's room, and personally disrupted his stuff..
...then I took my gun out and shot Vikram, then I took Vikram's gun..
...cocked it and kept it in his hand?
And you're saying all this because there was no dust on my uniform..
...and Vikram's towel was still on his body!
Come on, Khangnani sir..
...we were not wrestling in the mud.
Order! Order!
I have no more witnesses to examine, your honor.
I now rest my case.
Thank you.
Jury members, you heard the arguments from both..
Excuse me, my lord!
I am senior inspector Vincent Lobo, sir.
I've an important piece of evidence regarding this case..
...which I would like to share with the public prosecutor“.
...with your permission, sir.
Your honor, inspector Lobo has acquired this evidence..
...through his brilliant investigation.
I would like to request the court to admit this as evidence.
What is this evidence?
The day Commander murdered Vikram Makhija..
...that day he made a trunk-call to Delhi from the GPO.
And he never mentioned this to anyone, and hid it from everyone.
Since the call was made to the Defense Secretary..
...the call was recorded.
And we would like to present that recording.
Commander Pavri.
Yes, your honor.
Any objection?
Not at all, your honor.
Sir, lightening trunk call for you from Bombay.
Please speak here.
The party is on the line.
Good morning, sir. - Who's this?
Commander Rustom Pavri.
Rustom, how are you? When did you return?
Sir, l..
Yes, I know why you called.
I will tell Vikram to meet you and sort out this matter.
I am going to meet him, and I'm not going to spare him.
Silence! Silence!
Commander Pavri, do you agree this is your voice?
Yes.
What else is there to prove, your honor.
Commander Pavri came home.
He found out that his wife's having an affair with Vikram Makhija.
He went to his ship.
Withdrew a gun from the armory.
And he called Defense Secretary K.G. Bakshi on the phone..
...that 'l won't spare him'.
Saying that, he went to Vikram Makhija's home..
...and shot him brutally thrice!
This is no 'heat of the moment' incident.
It's a clear case of pre-determined murder.
Commander Pavri, would you like to comment on this evidence?
My lord, I would like to ask Mr. Khangnani..
...in which dictionary does 'I won't spare him' means 'I will kill him'?
Commander Pavri, let's not turn this into a game of words and make excuses.
The context in which you used these words..
...and the incidents that followed afterwards, clearly indicates..
...what 'I won't spare him' means here.
Come on, Commander Pavri.
You planned everything..
...and cold-heartedly murdered Vikram Makhija!
Admit it!
Commander Pavri, do you have a closing statement.
No,your honor.
I already said what I had to.
I too rest my case, thank you.
Silence. Silence.
Jury members.
You heard the arguments from both sides.
You saw their witnesses and evidences.
Now you must decide.
Remember, the decision must be in majority.
And for that, you have no restriction of time.
The jury's verdict will be announced tomorrow.
The case has been handed to the jury.
Thank you to all of you for selecting me..
...as the jury's foreperson.
Before starting with the arguments..
...let us conduct an informal vote. - Yes.
Let's start with you.
Of course, not guilty.
Where is the doubt?
Of course, guilty. - Definitely not guilty.
Not guilty!
Don't know.
Guilty!
Not guilty.
Guilty!
Even I am not sure.
Three members say that Commander Pavri is guilty.
Four members are saying that he's not guilty.
And two are still undecided.
So, let's start the discussion.
Conviction is guaranteed!
Hanged to Death or life sentence.
According to me, he should be hanged for this murder.
This is not a murder! It is self-defense!
Even if he did commit this murder..
...he's still a honorable murderer!
But he's still a murderer. - No!
I've decided my vote.
Guilty. - Yes.
Mr. Nayar, If he did want to kill him, he could've done it anywhere.
Do you understand that? - Yes.
It was self-defense! - It was planned murder..
Stop it!
Calm down!
Stop fighting-
Khanna sir is right.
I change my vote to 'Not guilty'.
What is the matter, Commander? Not sleepy?
Neither are you.
Let's play one round.
No, Commander.
You must've already understood by now that I don't like losing.
You beat me at chess that day.
Today, I leveled the scores in court.
Commander, you've lost this game.
Though I'll always regret not having heard the truth from you.
It'd be wrong if I'm your cause of regret, Mr. Lobo.
You don't appear to be too happy about your victory.
And you're unable to sleep..
...because you know that something is wrong somewhere.
Let me help you.
Mr. Lobo, this story began a year ago.
Vikram had many contacts in the Navy.
And the day he found out that an aircraft carrier..
...is lying incomplete in England, he made a plan..
...along with my senior, Rear Admiral Kamath.
And they posted me in London.
When I inspected the aircraft carrier..
...it was rotten.
I raised an objection.
Rustom, don't worry.
We're getting this aircraft carrier at half the price.
Once it arrives in India..
...we'll make all the changes that you've recommended.
Aah, Vikram is here.
He will explain you everything.
Relax.
One scotch, please.
Make a good report.
And I'll give on one million for it.
How much are you getting?
No point in hiding it from you.
50 million.
Rustom.
Think about it, Rustom.
You're too small up the chain.
I have other ways.
I decided to take up this issue with the higher authorities.
Because Rear Admiral Kamath was involved in this scam..
...so I went to meet Defense Secretary Bakshi, he was in London at that time.
Come, Rustom.
So what was so important?
Sir, I am sorry to inform you..
...but there's a lot going on regarding the aircraft carrier.
The entire carrier has rusted.
Did you tell your superiors about this?
Yes, sir. I told Rear Admiral Kamath about this..
...and I am convinced that he's with Vikram on this deal.
In fact, they offered me one million as bribe.
Just to toe the line.
One million? - Yes.
And so I thought I should tell you about this directly.
That Vikram..
...is a fool.
I mean he should realize that this game is worth millions.
He should've offered you two million.
But don't worry, I will talk to him.
I'll get you two million, rest assured.
And when I didn't agree, they got me transferred overnight.
And before I could take any action..
...they posted me on INS Mysore the next day..
...which was leaving for 6 months.
When I returned, I found out about Vikram and Cynthia.
And that was my failure, Mr. Lobo.
The man who claims to protect the nation, couldn't protect his home.
It isn't Cynthia's fault.
On one hand, it was my personal life..
...and on the other, the aircraft carrier scam.
That is the reason..
...l planned everything.
Sir, l..
Rustom listen. I know why you called.
I'll tell Vikram to meet you and sort out this matter.
I am going to meet him, and I won't spare him either.
One more thing.
I have copies of the London Aircraft Carrier's reports..
...which will prove how badly rusted the carrier is.
And how big a loss it is for our country.
Let's see..
...how you guys escape this.
Rustom, don't be foolish.
I'll bloody expose you all.
I've told you before..
...l didn't know that my call would be recorded.
And Bakshi would play half the recording in court and use it against me.
When I went into Vikram's room..
What's the matter, Commander sir?
So early in the morning?
I guess your wife..
So why didn't you expose Bakshi in the court?
Civilians shouldn't lose faith in the Navy, Lobo sir.
And I don't want the Navy to get a bad name..
...because of a few corrupt officers..
...and compromise the security of our country.
That's why you made a copy of all the documents.
I don't have any copy of the documents.
It was a bluff.
My only motive is to stop that rusty ship..
...from coming to our country at any cost.
The Indian Navy will definitely get an aircraft carrier..
...but only after making the necessary changes that I've recommended.
Commander sir, what if the jury holds you guilty tomorrow?
No, Mr. Lobo.
I will walk tomorrow.
This jury will support me tomorrow.
How can you be so sure?
You're sitting here with me, Mr. Lobo.
You.. the jury..
...and the public outside.
Everybody knows that I'm wrong, but also agree..
...that I shouldn't be punished.
Vikram deserved to die.
And I don't deserve to be punished.
Rustom! Rustom!
Of course, guilty.
Is that the final verdict?
Yes. - Yes.
Ok, let us inform the court.
Rustom, not guilty!
Does the jury's decision have a majority?
Yes.
The jury has found, by a vote of 8:1..
...that Commander Rustom Pavri, alleged murderer of Vikram Makhija..
...is not guilty.
Rustom is not guilty.
Let him go! Move back! - Thank you.
Move back! Wait! Congratulations, sir! - Thank you.
Saw how my newspaper worked magic?
Preeti, don't worry.
We'll appeal to the High Court.
Definitely, but I don't need you.
Rustom.
Can you ever forgive me?
