some help. Instead, Robert humiliates Kishanlal at first ordering him to polish his shoes. Kishanlal polishes Robert's shoes and in return is paid a single coin. Robert then orders his gang members to kill him. However, Kishanlal fights against Robert's gang members and manages to escape from one of his cars loaded with smuggled gold bullion. He returns home to find his sons abandoned by Bharati who has left a suicide note, saying that she does not wish to live with the money he is paid by wrongdoings. Pursued by Robert's gang members, Kishanlal takes his sons to the Borivali National Park where he leaves them near the Mahatma Gandhi statue for safety, and drives off to outrun Robert's gang members.
