'Mahesh Das had to grow up to be called Birbal.'
'Birbal was such a jewel in Akbar's court..
...with whose radiance the whole court shone.'
'The Emperors nature for justice gave..
...Birbal the reward for his efforts.'
'But some people did not like this.'
'They were burning due to jealousy.'
'They were angry.'
'Day and night they kept thinking of ways to put down Birbal.'
'Among them some were courtiers.'
'Some were from the royal family.'
'Though not worthy of it but they were the King's relatives.'
'Among them was Akbar's second wife, Sahabanu..
...and her brother, Fane Khan.'
'They wanted to snatch away from Birbal his title.'
'But, Akbar was just. He was also a clever ruler.'
'He knew all their moves.'
'But like the popular saying. 'All good things are on one side..
...and the wife's brother on the other.'
'It is said that Akbar heard the complaint jovially.'
'And dealt with it jovially.'
'As his motto was to gather more stories among them.'
Greetings, Queen. The Emperor is arriving.
Sahabanu salutes your highness.
Dismissed.
If the moon hides among the cloud the rays are not seen.
I am pleased that your highness thinks I am the moon.
Sahabanu, I married you for your youth and beauty.
It is said that beauty doesn't live long.
If that is so then why does a human live for so long.
No one can win an argument with your highness.
But you have won my heart. - You are saying this to please me.
Keep your ears close to my heart..
...my heart beats only by your name.
My place is in your feet. - No, your place is in my heart.
The matters of the heart are strange.
Yes. I know this very well.
This has love and it pains the heart too.
Tell me, what is in your heart? - Some wishes, some expectations.
Great. I would want to know your expectations.
Your highness..
...will you really fulfill my wishes. - Queen, just try it.
I am afraid.. - Queen.
Do you want me to promise you? - No.
You've given the brother of queen Jodha a such a good designation.
I don't have any problem about it. But..
What?
Mahesh Das was titled Birbal and included amongst yourjewels.
I want to know your highness..
...is there a shortage of jewels in the royal palace?
If you have equally capable then I would surely like to meet him.
Your highness, my brother. Fane Khan.
According to you your brother is a jewel.
Why? Do you doubt his merit? - Not at all.
But I never thought of him like that till today.
Then, do it right away, your highness. - Surely. Call him.
Salutations to your highness.
Come. I was very happy to hear you are an invaluable jewel.
Thank you, your highness. Thank you. - Your highness..
...you are making fun of my brother. - Thank you.
Our relationship allows us this liberty.
But I am thinking how come I never thought of him until today.
Give me an opportunity then see what I can do.
I will surely give you a chance.
If I win, what will you give me in return?
You will get what you ask.
Give me the gift that you have given to Birbal.
How can I take back the gift that I have given?
Your highness, if I win any competition, then?
Oh! You want to compete with Birbal?
With your permission.
I will surely give you the permission.
But Fane Khan, remember. No one can compete..
...with Birbal for his wittiness and smartness.
Trust me, I will overcome Birbal.
If that is so, then queen. You are a witness.
This competition will surely take place. - I have a condition.
I accept all the conditions.
This competition will not take place in Darbare Aam.
But in my palace.
You want to see this competition. - No, your highness.
Then? - I want to see Birbal lose.
Definitely. This competition will take place in your palace.
Fane Khan, I have presented you as a jewel to the Emperor.
Sister, you did not regard me. - What are you saying?
You did not say that Fane Khan is a precious jewel.
First you prove to your highness that you are a jewel.
After that I'll prove you are a precious jewel.
Think that this is done. - No.
This competition is with Birbal.
According to the emperor, he is very intelligent and clever.
Who is Birbal? All his plans will fail.
How? - I will defeat him in the competition.
If he doesn't lose everyone will make fun of me.
Everything will be done.
His property will be wrested from him.
His title will be snatched.
The emperor will throw him out from his nine jewels.
Then he will only be a common man.
Fane Khan, if that happens, I will reward you.
This will happen. Pray for me.
My prayers are with you. - Thank you.
Birbal!
Fane Khan will win.
Damsel. Damsel.
Keep it carefully.
Quiet. Whom are you talking of?
Damsel. My dear. - Oh my God!
Here comes the nawab.
Greetings. - Greetings.
Greetings.
Damsel. The queen of my dreams.
Fane Khan, why do you follow me?
I am not the queen of your dreams.
But I will make you my queen. I have decided it.
Which decision? - To make you my queen.
What?
I will compete with Birbal tomorrow.
I will win the competition. I will get a royal gift.
I will ask for you as a reward from your highness.
I am the special maid of the queen.
I will.. - Damsel. Don't misbehave. What should I do of my heart?
It loves you alone.
What should I do of my heart? It doesn't love you at all.
You are rejecting my love. - 1000 times I reject it.
Damsel, a human is born to love.
If you slip from the ladder you will fall and break your legs.
Damsel, you will balm my wounds.
I am tired. Forgive me. Leave me alone.
My dear, why do you say that? What will happen of me?
I am a maid and you are a nawab.
If anyone sees me with you, it will create problems.
Nothing will happen. I, nawab Fane Khan is with you.
Let me go. - No. - Get aside.
Not at all. - Fane Khan.
Sister.
Fane Khan, you never thought of yourself respect or my honor.
You forgot that tomorrow you have a competition.
I was preparing for that. - Quiet.
Gulbadhan, come with me.
Doesn't matter.
Welcome, Fane Khan. - Call me Nawab Fane Khan.
My apologies, sir Fane Khan.
May I ask you the reason for your arrival?
I want to give you an opportunity.
Which opportunity? - To step down from this competition.
But, why? - As you cannot win this competition.
But, how can I dishonor the order of the Emperor.
Meaning? - It is a royal order if dishonored it means punishment.
Punishment can even mean hanging.
Either ways you are a loser, Birbal.
I didn't understand that, sir.
On one side the order from the emperor.
On the other hand the competition with me.
Either way you lose. Mahesh Das.
The emperor has bestowed the title of Birbal on me, sir.
This title won't be yours anymore.
The competition is between Birbal and Fane Khan.
The condition of this competition is..
...if Birbal loses, his property, his title will be taken away.
And I will remove him from the jewels of my court.
But you said that you will give me the property and the title.
Certainly. Certainly, if you win.
Both of you'll look at these four people carefully.
The one who is standing first is a goon, spendthrift, alcoholic.
The second is a beggar.
The third one is a sage.
The fourth one is a rich man with a great soul.
I have four questions. The answer is hidden among them.
My first question is..
...the one who is here is not there.
My second question is..
...he is there but not here.
My third question is..
...he is not here nor there too.
My fourth and last question is..
...he is here and there too.
Speak up, Fane Khan. Today we shall see your worth.
Your highness, this is a simple question.
Go ahead and answer it. - As you say, your highness.
You are here and not there.
You are not here and there too.
That's it. You are not here but there.
I know everything.
You are here and there too. Good.
I will know. You are here and there too.
You aren't here but there.
Neither here or there. And..
He is here and not there. He is there not here.
He is here and not there. He is there and not here.
Not there. He is here and not there.
He is here and not there. All the four are here.
Then, where am I your highness?
Tell me, Fane Khan. What happened?
Emperor, is this a question or a trap?
Fane Khan, every question in this world is a trap.
Do you have any answer? - I don't have any answer.
Does Birbal have an answer to these questions?
Fane Khan, I haven't asked Birbal yet.
Birbal, what do you want to say?
Just like every sickness has a treatment..
...in the same way every question has an answer.
I would like to hear your answers.
Your first question is he is here and not there.
Emperor, he is a spendthrift alcoholic.
He sells his wife's jewelry and goes to prostitutes.
He gambles, spends the money kept for milk for children on alcohol.
In this world he is taking pleasure..
...but he won't have that pleasure in the other world. No place.
It is here and not there.
Wow! Great. Excellent. Your first answer is right.
Hey, it was an easy question.
Birbal, the answer to the next question.
Your next question is it is there and not here.
He is a sage. In this world he remains hungry and thirsty.
He does penance and abstinence.
He prays for the betterment of human kind. Adoration.
He goes through all the pains in this world.
But in neither world he will have heaven. Release.
It is there and not here.
Fabulous. Fabulous.
Your third question is it is neither here nor there.
He is a beggar, who begs. By losing his soul.
He sometimes gets food and sometimes filthy words.
He is abused. He neither collects sins nor does good.
His life is a waste. He is something else here and over there.
So, it is neither here nor there.
Excellent. Brilliant. - Superb.
Your fourth question is. It is here and there too.
Your highness, he is a businessman.
Who works hard to earn wealth.
He keeps his family happy. He also enjoys it.
He gives half of his earnings in charity.
He helps the sick and destitute.
He gets happiness in this world.
But in that world, heaven, he has a place too.
It is here and there too.
Wow! Birbal. Great. Fabulous. Brilliant.
You answered all the four questions rightly.
Birbal..
...you are surely clever and witty.
Fane Khan, what do you say?
What reward should I give Birbal?
Emperor, this was war of words.
Let's see his physical strength.
Really. I will fulfill this wish of yours.
But today you will say what will be Birbal's reward.
Your highness, I am feeling unwell. Please let me go.
You can go.
Shahbanu sister, I have lost. I lost the competition.
And that stupid Birbal won.
Don't be disheartened. Your sister is there for you.
But.. I am not worth it.
Don't worry, Fane Khan. Birbal is like dirt in my eyes.
I will throw him out.
If not today then tomorrow.
