• Krishnamurthy : [after Sanjay Dutt arrives at his residence garden]  What's the matter Khan ? What came up so suddenly on a Sunday ?

  Shamsher Khan : Sir I've just received information that Mhatre's assailants are hiding in the Antop Hill suburb.

  Krishnamurthy : Alright, I'll issue "Search and Arrest" Warrants immediately.

  Shamsher Khan : No Sir, I don't want to waste time or paper. I want to send those guys upstairs straightaway.

  Krishnamurthy : And how's that gonna happen ?

  Shamsher Khan : Exclusive television coverage Sir. Once broadcasted, it'll give a clear hint to all other possible such operatives that Mumbai isn't the destination for them.

  Krishnamurthy : Fair enough. But from where will you find a journalist who'll risk stepping into line of fire and cover your operation ?

  Shamsher Khan : Leave it to me Sir, I'll find someone.

• Shamsher Khan : [Discussing the strategy with Arbaaz Khan after surrounding Lokhandwala complex]  We've cordoned off all exit points. All our men are in position. Now we've got to attack in full force.

  Tripathi : [Arriving on the scene to attempt rescuing the gangsters after the bribe offer from Vivek Oberoi]  Khan, what the hell do you think you're doing ? Which chain of command are you following ?

  Shamsher Khan : [Aware of Mishra's intentions]  This is my jurisdiction Sir. And this is the methodology I follow.

  Tripathi : [Trying to intimidate Sanjay Dutt]  But as JCP of the Crime Division, I am your senior officer Khan and all your operations are my overall responsibility. Now get your men out of here so that I can negotiate with those boys. I am certain they'll surrender.

  Shamsher Khan : [Infuriated]  Boys ? They fired an RPG right at us Sir. They're gonna be dead now.

  Tripathi : [In concealed rage]  You can't speak to me in this manner Khan. I am warning you for the final time.

  Shamsher Khan : [Frustrated]  I am not even speaking to you Sir. I am doing my job.

  Tripathi : [Trying to walk past Sanjay Dutt only to be stopped physically]  This is insubordination Khan.

  [Furiously] 

  Tripathi : How dare you ?

  Shamsher Khan : [Using the police communicator to link up with Aftab Ahmed Khan]  Sir, JCP Tripathi is interfering in my task.

  Krishnamurthy : [His angry voice heard on the receiver]  Hand this phone to Tripathi, I want to speak to him.

  Tripathi : [after Dutt hands him the communicator]  Tripathi on the line.

  [Camera shifts to Aftab Ahmed Khan's office] 

  Krishnamurthy : [Scolding Mishra]  Tripathi, on whose orders have you gone over there ?

  Tripathi : Sir ?

  Krishnamurthy : [In rage]  On whose orders Tripathi ?

  Tripathi : [Knowing his game's up]  Sir, so what would be the instructions for me ?

  Krishnamurthy : [Combined sarcastic and angry]  Simple. I've handed Khan with complete authority over this task. You better stop interfering in others' work and come back here immediately.

  [Akhilendra Mishra leaves the shootout sight in disgrace]
