I am not quite sure how to explain what happens next.
Well, the short and sweet version is that we start our next musical number, "Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja." We get some really weird stuff here, guys. We start off with a pseudo-Egyptian thing going where Seema (posing as some sort of royalty with blue hair and a headdress) wants some jewels from a rotating glass case. None of her servants can open it, so she looks to Romeo (sporting a truly impressive mustache/sideburn combination) who is trapped in a golden birdcage. He opens his own lock with his laser vision (!) and then shoots his laser beam eyes at the case containing all of those jewels. This sets off all the dancers, consisting of a group of men wearing cowboy outfits and some women in interesting pink things. Romeo and Seema come out looking like they're ready for the greatest Homecoming dance ever, and we all go to town with the neon-tubed violins rounding out the orchestra. Once again, I've typed a paragraph that was completely satisfying in a totally absurd manner.

In all fairness I kind of liked this song. It's got a good driving beat, it's fast paced, and it's catchy. One that kind of gets into your head and takes up residence for a while. Anyway, this is all part of that big jewelry show we were talking about a little bit ago. We see Seema taking a few steps down the walkway here and there during the song all decked out in gigantic necklaces and whatnot.
The
song is ended by Romeo pulling a gun and shooting the locks off of some of the
other display cases. That seemed a little blunt for someone that's a renowned
opener of hard-to-open things, but hey, it's moving the plot along. He pretends
to take Seema hostage, and she plays along, shrieking and wailing as he drags
her towards the door.
They make it outside, and we begin a laboriously long and very unfunny car chase. In their attempt to evade the police, Romeo tries to jump his car over a barricade. He ends up parked on top of another car with an older couple inside that are very excited to be involved in the commotion. Seema gets the giggles, and Romeo's patience seems to be wearing thin (in this respect, we are in complete agreement!). He tells Seema to take off the jewelry she wore out of the show and stow it all in a bag he has with him.
The cops begin firing into the air while shouting at the other car to stop. Somehow one of the bullets that is fired straight up into the air from a car behind our heroes manages to puncture the tire of the bottom car being chased (take that, Laws of Physics!), and Romeo's car is flung off of the roof when it comes to a sudden stop. A police Jeep ends up on top of the car, and it's completely hilarious. Ahem.
So,
Romeo finds himself in control of his car again, and he speeds through the
streets. He tells Seema to take the bag of loot and do as he told her (which we
did not hear) while he handles the rest of the situation. The car ends up being
pinned in between some of the police Jeeps, and is mysteriously torn in half.
The front end of the car is not impeded as much as one might think by this, and they continue driving for a while. The finally crash into a conveniently stacked mountain of cardboard boxes, and come to a halt. The police finally catch up to them, as Seema bursts out of the debris. She tells the cops that Romeo must be in the pile somewhere, and that he has taken all of her jewelry. Remember, they still think she's a hostage, so it's all working perfectly. Romeo never does turn up, so they go to the police department to file a report.
Seema tells the cops her story of what happened, with lots of embellishment and additional action. After a rambling tale of her night, the officer tells her that she's free to go after she leaves her details with the front desk.
We
check in with Girdy, who is very pleased with the score from the heist. He
compliments Romeo and Seema's work as a team, and hopes they'll do just as well
in the future. Romeo says that shouldn't be a problem. Girdy tells them that he
will be very offended if they ever do any jobs for another boss, and foul things
might befall them should they ever stray. Romeo says that the job he is helping
Seema with isn't related to anything Girdy would be interested in.
Girdy is a little curious though, and asks what's going on. Seema explains that she needs Romeo's help to locate a very hard-to-find person, and he's promised to do so.
With that, we have a jump cut to a very disgruntled employee - Keshav. He's having a drink with Balwant at a random bar somewhere, and he says that he'll step in and tell Seema that Jugran is actually her father's killer (you know - the truth!). He figures that should put her off the case of the diamond robbery, and be a fitting revenge for the insults he has received. This could get interesting!
