What is the reason
of your desperation to meet the King
that you could give your life for it!
Unless the intention is wrong
one would not hide them.
No. My intention is not wrong.
My father was declared
a traitor by the law.
I just want my mother to be able to
live a life of dignity once more.
That is why, I wish to meet the King.
What is his name? - Omar.
Omar? - Yes.
Is it the same Omar who was entrusted
with the responsibility of Bagdad's security?
Yes, that was him.
Are you son of Omar?
Mir Mustafa's bosom friend?
Yes, I am the son of Omar.
But.. Who is Mir Mustafa?
I do not know who he is.
Did you know my father?
I did know him.
And that is why, I can say with conviction
that he would never betray his motherland.
Thank you. Thank you so much, Nusrat.
Listen, could you please help me
find a way to locate Mir Mustafa?
Maybe he knows something
that could help me prove to the Emperor
that my father is innocent.
No.
I.. I do not know Mir Mustafa that well.
The way you spoke, it seemed
you knew my father through Mir Mustafa.
Do not rack your brains too hard.
I am returning you your job
for the sake of your father.
But if you make one more mistake..
There are people waiting for me.
But.. At least, tell me..
Ms. Nusrat!
What sort of a place is this?
Why did Ms. Nusrat get so perturbed
at the mention of Mir Mustafa?
Could it be so
that Mir Mustafa is somehow associated
with what happened to my father?
If that is so, I must find Mir Mustafa
through Ms. Nusrat.
He might be able to help.
And why is this part of the castle
so deserted?
Not even guards can be seen.
But this.. This is a dead end.
Where could Ms. Nusrat be?
Apart from this door this part of the castle
is completely deserted.
Let me go in and see.
Oh, it is locked.
Mir Mustafa?
That means, this room belongs to Mir Mustafa.
But why is this place so deserted?
I also see an emblem next to his name.
This means, I must unlock this door.
What are you doing here?
No one is allowed to come here.
Did I not warn you just now
that you should make no more mistakes?
You have come here to work
and that is all you should do.
If you as much as attempt to do
anything apart from your job
I will not throw you out of the castle.
I will have you arrested.
If you even look this way ever again
you will stay in prison forever.
Do you understand? Now go from here.
Go!
My doubts have been confirmed.
There is something in that room, for sure.
Why else would Ms. Nusrat
throw me out of there otherwise?
The door bore the name of Mir Mustafa.
It definitely means that he lived here
and also worked with my father.
Work hard, till the end of your days.
Your work will earn you praise!
Continue to obey me with your heads bowed.
I hope you know how this handsome gentleman
had his brother, Aladdin
kicked out of his job.
So, it was this wretch, Gullu
who had my master, Aladdin, the famous one
dismissed from.. - 'Hurry up!'
If my parents saw me now
they'd be so proud to see how mean I am.
A cauldron of milk!
Mother always says that cream and cash
taste best when stolen.
Cream!
Cream! Delicious cream!
I'll finish the entire bowl.
Got a stiff upper lip, have you, Gullu?
I will get you all stiff now.
Abracadabra, fire up a spell
to make Gullu's body as stiff as a nail.
How did my body get so stiff?
Oh, Mother!
Make it go away, please!
Genie! What is the matter, my friend?
What happened? Get up, slowly.
Come on, get up.
Aladdin, how did you come back?
I thought you were dismissed from duties.
Gulbadan is not only stupid, but also naive.
No matter how hard you try to outdo me
I will always survive. Got it?
That was a good one.
But tell me, how did you evade dismissal?
I spoke about father, Genie.
You know Ms. Nusrat? - Yes.
She gave me a second chance.
And you know, she is keeping a secret.
But I will not give up.
I will surely find the answers.
Good, well said. Ouch!
Looks like your back is broken.
I shall take you home.
Oh, brother! Take me home, too.
As you sow, so shall you reap, Gulbadan.
Come, let us go home.
Oh, Mother!
'Mir Mustafa?'
'That means, Mir Mustafa lived in this room.'
'There is an emblem engraved'
'next to the name.'
There are only a few more days left
from the time aunt gave me.
The way Ms. Nusrat spoke, it seemed
Mir Mustafa and my father were close friends.
He might be able to help me
find out what actually happened with father.
But in order to find Mir Mustafa
I will need Ms. Nusrat's help.
That is why..
Come over here? - Mother, what is this?
I have burnt a chilli on the embers.
It will vanquish the evil eye.
But Mother.. Why did you..
Have to do this?
Why not! Every time you sneeze
it mitigates the ill-effects of the evil eye.
I will leave this outside.
Oh, Almighty! Rid us of all bad omens!
Oh, Mother! Why did you have to do this?
It is not like the devil..
Is lurking in our home.
Do not talk like that.
Have you seen Genie?
I wonder how he got hurt.
His back hurts so badly
that he can hardly get up from the bed.
That is not the devil's doing, Mother.
That watermelon of a boy brought it upon himself.
Don't you insult the poor fellow.
Well, Mother. It is the watermelon
that should feel insulted.
Really! Don't act smart..
Aladdin, where did you see that emblem?
Mother, do you know this emblem?
Wait here. I will be right back.
Aladdin, see this.
Oh no! Mother.. - Aladdin.
Your father had a very close friend, Mir.
These are the keys to his room.
But Mother,
you never mentioned him before
The context never came up.
Mir and your father were very close friends.
Why did father have the keys
to Mir Mustafa's room?
I do not know.
But when our house was set on fire
and your father was declared a traitor
your father and Mir had been working
on something important together.
'Something important?'
Maybe that is why Mir gave your father
the keys to his room.
Shortly before that incident happened
the both of them had gone to Baghdad for about 20 days.
Aladdin, I remember clearly.
Those days, Mir would often wear a disguise
and pay secret visits to your father.
Sometimes, both of them would go
to Mir's room at midnight
Mother, didn't you ever try to find out
what it was that father
and Mir Mustafa were working on?
That was not the first time that had happened, Aladdin.
You father was a highly placed official.
He was often assigned with
confidential tasks for the kingdom.
I never questioned him much.
And Mir worked for the royal kitchen.
I think that is where your father met him.
'Mir Mustafa worked for the royal kitchen?'
'That means, Ms. Nusrat knew him very well.'
'She was lying to me.'
Aladdin, you didn't tell me
where you saw that emblem.
All I can say, Mother
is that this key might unlock the mystery
that could reveal the truth of my father's doom.
How do you make a good salad?
Technique and dill.. I mean, skill, Right?
Goodwill! I don't know!
This knife is what makes a good salad
along with technique, skill and goodwill.
Right, goodwill.
'I must find a way'
'to get into Mir Mustafa's room anyhow.'
'I will surely find a clue there'
that will lead me to my father's truth.
I only have five days.
Ms. Nusrat, am I doing it wrong?
You are present here in person
but your mind is somewhere else.
Sorry? - I do not want a piece of your finger
in the salad along with carrots.
Well.. Thank you.
I beg your pardon.
I need to go out for an urgent job for a while.
I want everyone to finish
chopping vegetables in the meanwhile.
Except you.
Why? I mean..
You will wash the vessels today as well.
I do not want you to injure yourself
in the kitchen on my watch.
Oh, brother!
Oh, no! That is a lot of utensils.
With the vagaries of fate I wrestle
Time runs out while I scrub vessels.
Look at me Ms. Nusrat!
I am cleaning the vessels so diligently.
What! I am not Ms. Nusrat.
Oh, it's you. I mistook you for someone else.
I thought you were Ms. Nusrat.
Thank God. You scared me.
Look, snob. I am a little worried right now.
I suggest you go away.
My going away will not help
abate your punishment, will it?
Why did you have to mess up?
Who asked you to serve soup to the Emperor
and totter at the same time?
You do understand
that you are not helping, do you not?
Anyway, how do you know
what happened yesterday?
Where were you last night?
Me?
Well.. I was where I had to be.
I found out from the palace servants
that a boy was dismissed from duty
on his first day of work.
It was then that I guessed
that only you are capable of such antics.
You are laughing?
have you come here to ridicule me?
Not at all. I did not come here to ridicule you.
I just came to tell you
that you are lucky indeed
that Ms. Nusrat reinstated you.
She usually never gives a second chance.
This kitchen is her life.
You are right, snob.
Just two days and I am already fed up.
'I need to go out for an urgent job for a while.'
Snob, only you can help me now.
It is up to you to save my life.
It has taken me a lot of effort
to get this job. I can't afford to lose it.
Yes.. That is all right.
Keep faith, I am with you.
Will you help me? - Yes, I will.
Promise? - I promise.
Promise? - I promise. - Here, take this scrubber.
I have something really important to do.
Finish scrubbing these vessels.
I shall remain indebted you forever.
There's no one here.
I should go ahead.
If you have the keys
why knock on the door?
There it is unlocked.
