Mumbai...

A city that never sleeps.

A city that dreams even while awake.

A city where glamour and fame abound.

A city that hides a dark underbelly.

A city where a different world has been created

based solely on the differences between people.

Mumbai's underworld.

Police sources say that Mumbai is a city where gangs abound.

Because of the day-to-day trafficking,

gang wars, shifting allegiances, murders,

shootings and riots are a very common occurrence.

In the middle of it all, a man appeared out of nowhere.

This is his story... Satya.

- Greetings, brother! What goes? - I am bathing the buffaloes.

Don't wash them too much, they'll rub off!

This way, sir.

Here you go.

You'll sleep here. The rent is twenty rupees a day.

Do you have any money?

Actually, I want an advance. It's a very nice place.

In the morning you will have a good view of the buffaloes.

You won't need an alarm clock. The buffaloes will moo.

- Bye-bye! - Can I find a job here?

Will you do any work?

Hey! Get me two beers.

Okay.

I will tell him. Why are you so tense?

Call you later.

- Greetings, Jagga! - Greetings, Shanti!

Looks like you're making a killing, huh?

Not that much, no. Even coins are scarce.

Hey, you! Bring a whisky for Jagga.

- What's cooking? - Tell me about yourself.

Not much to say. Business is dead quiet.

Nobody comes to the bar during the holy month.

Then why are you still open? Close it down.

What are you saying, Jagga? It's quiet, that's all.

Come on, Shanti. Cut the baloney.

The money I take from you is not for me.

It's for Guru.

Now Guru told me to collect the money from you.

What should I tell him? That you have no money?

No, no, no. There's no need to bother Guru...

You're right, but you have to understand...

Okay, make it clear.

- I can't drink that stuff! - He's new here...

- Fire him! - Go away.

- Go now. - What?

What are you staring at? Why are you looking at me?

Get lost! Move it!

I'll kill the filthy bastard!

Hey! I got you a nice job in a good place.

Girls galore, booze, lots of fun. Got my money?

Come on, hand it over. All of it.

Hey, beardy, you're the new guy? Write down his name.

Give me 100 rupees.

For what?

He asks why!

Shut up. He has a right to ask.

He'll pay anyway.

Come on now, let's see the money.

Hey, beardy! Give me the money now!

Hey! Don't take any chances. These are Jagga's men.

Got it now? So fork the money out.

Hey, rascal! Don't act too smart!

So what? Not so talkative now?

My face!

He's cut my face!

My face!

I'm going to burn those fucking stables!

Hey! Somebody please get some water.

Go get some water!

My face!

Who the fuck is that?

Who did this to you?

Hey! Are you Satya?

Out!

Trying to act smart, eh?

See what it's like to take on Jagga!

Don't you mess with his men, you bastard!

Trying to be a hero? Don't get smart with us!

You don't want to mess with Jagga again!

I am going out for two hours.

Before I get back, please finish filming here.

All right, sir.

- Sir, my name is Shaukat. - I have worked in a Mahesh Bhatt film.

- Come back later. - Sir, I wanted to meet you. Sir!

Later.

Sir, my name is Ajay. I wanted to show you my book...

- Go see my assistant. - May I?

- Should I meet him? - Go.

Here, sir.

So I take him down at the second stoplight, is that it?

- Ask for the car number. - Yes! What's the number?

A white Esteem? Okay.

No. I really want the movie to be released in March.

Drive away now! Fast!

Out of the way!

My leg!

- I'll help you! - No, go ahead!

Stop screaming!

Come on, hurry up!

I can't!

My leg's busted!

My milk!

Rickshaw!

- Tell me. - We had a problem, Bhiku.

Is he alive or dead?

- Give it back! - No!

You had one thing to do... Shut up!

Just one thing. Meet me at Uncle Khalu's office.

See you.

- What is this? - Tea.

Hey, come on here!

- Has he spoken yet? - Not yet, sir.

Is that where you're hurt?

Does it hurt?

Don't worry. You're gonna be fine.

It's just swollen.

Nothing broken.

I will call the doctor.

Who's your client?

Who paid you?

Who is it?

Bhiku Mhatre! Bhiku Mhatre!

- Eat. - I'm not hungry.

What? Eat it!

But I'm not hungry!

Eat it, it's good.

What's good? I only eat bread and butter.

Didn't I make you eggs last Sunday?

- Where are you going? - There's someone at the door.

Who is it?

- What... - Freeze!

Don't move! Get down!

What are you doing? Leave my father alone!

Stop moving!

I heard that Bhau will be released soon. Has this been confirmed?

I was told the same.

But why are you so excited?

I'm not. Bhau will be Bhau...

We owe him a lot.

My men aren't what they used to be.

Less than a week has passed and he's already back.

The previous guy took two weeks to recover.

Hey! What are you looking at? Fix me a drink.

So now he knows how to make drinks...

Don't be mad at me, big guy.

Sometimes it takes a beating to learn a lesson.

Hey... Raise your head.

Let go of me!

Hey, you bastard! You've raised your hand against me!

You silly bastard!

Were there any phone calls?

No, sir.

Report him for pimping and lock him up!

Look down! Take him away!

Hey, hero! Hurry up! This work should be finished by tonight.

What are you up to? Go wait outside.

Go on, go!

What did I tell you? Out with you!

Hey! Enough! Enough!

Think you're a big shot or what? And you?

Come now.

Hit me.

Come on, champ, hit me.

Hit me, come on!

Hit me!

Too late...

- He's learnt his lesson... - Fight me alone if you're a man.

What? You're challenging Bhiku?

Split.

Let go of him.

He watches too many movies.

No!

Do you have a death wish?

Or do you think you're a hero?

Dirty bastard!

It's my turn!

This guy's got guts! He's got some balls!

I'm Bhiku.

I'm telling you my name's Bhiku.

Satya.

Satya!

I'm telling you, marriage is the death of a man!

Never come near my wife. She will elope with you.

Keep moving! Keep moving!

Get hold of him! Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Hey... Look...

Did you get pinched for rape? You'll get a good thrashing here!

Give him a good beating!

Where are you from?

Hey...

What difference does it make?

I'm from Mumbai.

Every newspaper's headline in Mumbai right now

is about Bhiku's time in jail.

"Bhiku Matre will not be freed on bail." "Bhiku Matre is in jail for life."

"Bhiku Mhatre is a real big shot."

Hey. Have a smoke.

Bring me some water.

Actually, they are all pretty scared right now.

- Do you read newspapers? - No.

No wonder you have no idea who I am.

Tell me something...

You are new to this place. And yet you fought with me.

Did you know I run a gang here?

I could have had you killed. Weren't you afraid?

I'm not afraid to die.

Come on, eat up.

Jagga! That guy from Hyderabad!

This bastard works for Guru.

- Who's Guru? - Guru Narayan.

We both worked together for Bhau.

Tell me one thing... How comes...

The fine for pimping is only 2 or 3,000. So how did you end up here?

I had no money.

Where is your family?

Your parents and siblings?

- I don't know. - What do you mean?

For all I know, they're dead.

My child is singing a rhyme. My cute baby!

Doesn't she sing well?

Are you still upset? Come on, give me a smile.

Shall I simply show my teeth?

I cannot trust you at all. Always in and out.

If I am in prison, she will be upset.

And when I'm there, she runs away from me.

At least we can find you in jail!

But when you are free, you are always absent.

If mom were the judge, she would sentence me to life imprisonment.

Just ask her. Look at the judge.

It's more than enough now. When are you coming back?

Why do you ask me? Ask Uncle.

- When is he coming home? - It will be another three weeks.

Three weeks? Why three weeks?

- It will take that long. - But why will it take that long?

Are you the lawyer or am I? Why the hell did you go to law school?

Look, the entire film industry has been shaken by Chadda's death.

The media have given this much publicity.

Whatever step we take, we must take it very carefully.

We have a lot of things to deal with, Bhiku.

I feel that Guru is responsible for all of this.

He turned Chadda against me.

- Guru Narayan? - Yes.

No.

I know his true colours.

Come on, time's up!

Hey, have mercy on me. My wife is here, isn't she?

- Orders are orders. -All right, I'm coming.

Hey Mule! Listen to me.

There's a boy here. We've become buddies.

- He's a good guy. - Can he be useful to us?

- What's his name? - Satya. His name is Satya.

Satya!

You'll be free tomorrow. I've made all the arrangements.

I spoke to my lawyer, Mule.

He will take you to Uncle Kallu. You'll have room and board.

Be careful.

- Hi! - What's cooking?

You look very happy today!

I've had some fun in the brothel downtown.

Downtown? You should go up to Jamnadas' mansion.

Have you tried Shabo? A lotus blossoms even in muck.

Listen to him!

Hey, you take care of him.

I have one wish in life. I just want to see you smile once.

Okay, scratch that.

Hey! You went to the brothel, right?

- Have you ever tried Shabo? - She's hot, isn't she?

Hi! How's it going?

I'm a little buzzed, Uncle!

Hello.

Hey, Uncle! Want to hear a joke?

No joke. I have tried Shabo.

What's the benefit of recommending Bhau to me?

I have known him since we were kids.

Just explain it to him.

The smoother the business, the better.

Just explain to him.

Try Shabo first.

Hey, Uncle! How are you?

Happy morning!

Come.

This is Satya. Recommended by Bhiku.

Yes! All right! Come on, have a seat.

Have a seat here.

How are things in the prison? Is our Bhiku all right?

Boss! He is Bhiku after all...

He gets used to any place.

- Very true... - Boss, Malhotra is here.

The builder.

- Why is he here? - He wants to talk to you.

Send him in.

- Wait. - Yeah?

- Send Chander in as well. - Okay.

Come on in.

Where's Chander? Chander!

He went out.

- Take a seat. - I am Malhotra, the builder.

Yes, I know. What do you want?

We have a lot of problems right now.

We are not getting buyers. And the prices have gone down.

Go on.

Profit is not possible at the moment.

How much do you owe us?

You've kept a 40% margin. We are not getting buyers and the prices are low.

You've already lost 18.5 million, right?

In three months, without a buyer,

you'll lose 35 million.

You...

And I know that the building you have in Parel is fully booked.

How much did you make? 150 million, right?

Not quite. Actually...

Do you think we are stupid?

Think people here are not smart enough?

Do you know how much cement and bricks cost?

No, in a few days I will...

A few days! I've heard that many times.

Now give me a date. One date.

How much time do you need? One week? Ten days?

You'll get the money within ten days.

I am not going to call you back after 10 days.

Go now.

Thank you.

What's up, boss? Did you call me?

Look, Chander. His name is Satya. Take him to the apartment.

My name is Chander Krishnakant Khote.

The kids in the area used to call me Fat Chandu.

Then Bhiku told me: "Don't let it affect you."

And I took care of them! Now they call me Mr Chander.

Hey, stop over here.

Come on, buddy.

Umbrella... open sesame!

Ten rupees. Keep the change.

Come on. We're home now. No need to be afraid.

The building itself is a little bit old.

It was built before independence. But the apartment is great.

Let's go.

Actually, there is a bit of a rush here. But that's part of the business.

When there are fights, then we can easily slip away.

Come on. Do you know what happened last month?

I wasted two people from the area.

But Bhiku turned a blind eye.

He gave me a pager, a phone and a gun!

I'm in his good books. Here's your palace.

Absolutely amazing, isn't it?

It's a four-star apartment! You will be comfortable here.

Yes, it's a bit small. But you won't find anything bigger in Mumbai.

Make yourself comfy.

Bring girls and have fun.

And if the neighbors tell you anything, let me know.

And I'll take care of them.

Now listen. You're under Bhiku's protection.

So don't sweat it. He's given you a nice flat.

There's a TV, a fridge, and even a God to pray to!

You believe in God?

No.

My name is Vidya.

I live in the apartment opposite.

I think I have a fuse problem.

Do you know anything about fuses?

- Which one is your switchboard? - This one.

Looks okay. Maybe it's the circuit breaker.

Mother!

What happened, Mother?

Where did he fall?

Father, are you hurt? Are you all right?

Mother, I have already told you not to scream. It scares me.

Mother, he is our new neighbor.

He moved into the flat across from ours, Dad.

- He's inviting you to come in. - No, thank you. Some other time.

They say you never say no...

to a first invitation.

He wants to know if you live in the flat across the hall.

Yes.

- What's your name? - Satya.

- Do you have a family? - What?

I mean, are you married? Do you have children?

Mother, stop nagging him.

- Do you want tea? - No.

It only takes 2 minutes. Please have some.

Some other time. I have to go.

Vithal Manjrekar, do you know Bhiku Matre?

Who's Bhiku?

- He is sitting over there. - No. Not at all.

- Objection, Your Honor! - I have no further questions.

Your Honor...

witness is turning hostile!

If Bhiku Matre was not there, who ordered you to kill?

I don't know, sir. I got a phone call.

- From where? - Dubai.

- Who made the call from Dubai? - I don't know, sir.

Who made the call?

Sir, I told you I don't know. We're just hired hitmen.

I was told to go to Borivali and I got caught, sir.

We're gonna fry his brains

Kallu, you're the boss!

Hey, scum! Why did you throw that bottle?

What if it hurts someone? Did you think about that?

Hey, boss! I didn't throw it. It slipped.

Yeah... He can't hold his liquor and on top of that, he spoils it.

Drink responsibly, guys!

You better hit the hay. I'm leaving.

Where are you going? Come on, have one last sip.

Look, Uncle Kallu...

I drank so much that even my cigarette is boozed-up.

I couldn't get anything down...

- Want me to pour you one? - No.

- One for the road... - I have an audience tomorrow.

Why do you want to go to court? Bhiku was released, wasn't he?

Yes, but I have Mahathar's case.

Mahathar?

He is Bhau's...

Don't bother. I'll give you another one.

He is one of Bhau's men. Tomorrow is plea day.

I thought I'd go.

- Then go. - Then I'll go.

Hey, look. Come over here.

Your dancing was really good!

I enjoyed it very much.

- Boss. - Yes?

- Tell Bhiku... - What?

Advise Bhiku to be less impulsive.

Hey! I already told him. But he won't listen to me.

There's nothing I can do. How can I explain it to him?

In fact, the situation today is not what it used to be.

The police can arrest anyone at any time.

And people like us end up in court.

Nothing new under the sun.

The real scum are the politicians.

They own the country and now say it is ruined.

Hey... you're sleeping. You better be.

I am leaving now. Bye.

I told the director to hire that kid

because he respects me a lot.

But that director got too big for his boots.

He refused, so I pulled a gun on him.

So he hired the boy for three movies!

- Take this. - What is it?

Open it.

- What is this? - You are now in our business.

You may need it.

But I don't know how to use it.

You don't have to compete in a shooting contest.

No need to win top prize.

You just keep it at a distance of two inches from the head.

And then... boom! The geezer's dead.

It's a fine gun. German. Keep it.

I did my homework first.

He is inside... Jagga.

Do what you have to do.

Do it now.

Hey. buddy!

This is Satya.

Where have you been all day? Huh?

Holy cow, she's pissed!

Where have you been? You've been drinking, haven't you?

Fool, you've had your fun and now you come home!

I'm back from prison after so many days. At least smile.

You think you're doing me a favor?

- Where did you spend the night? - Don't do that.

I have been waiting for you! The kids went to sleep.

- Okay, stop... - I haven't eaten all day!

- Stop complaining. - I was worried!

Calm down. Look, my friend is here.

Your friend's here? Go with him then.

Go with him. No need to come back!

Calm down, I said! Stop it! Stop!

Enough.

You always talk too much...

This is marriage... Leave, or things will get ugly.

Okay? Take the car and go.

He's gone.

You spoke badly to me in front of him.

- Did you slap me? - Yes, I did!

Shall I hit you again?

What are you doing?

- Why are you doing this? - It's okay...

What are you doing? I'm finally back...

You look very good when you're angry.

- Get lost, rascal! - You look very good.

Can I find a job here?

My face!

- I'll kill him! - You hit Jagga's men!

- Give him a good beating! - Look up!

You filthy bastard!

- Who is this? - My name's Vidya.

Rain, gentle rain...

Rain, magic rain...

Rain, gentle rain...

Rain, magic rain...

This rain is like a caress

Where does it come from?

Heaven's gentle caress

Heaven's soft caress

Give us your gentle shower

Your gentle rain

Gentle, gentle rain...

- Who's this? - It's Vidya.

The door's open.

Mother made this for you.

Your room is very nice.

At least you can see the sky from here.

From our room we can only see the building across the street.

We were supposed to buy this one. We even talked to the agent about it.

But someone had just bought it.

- Was it you? - Yes, it was.

It took you a long time to move in here...

I'm not from Mumbai. I had to get here.

That's why...

- I'll be going. - But the...

It's all for you.

Satya!

Come on down.

I will be back soon, Dad. Hello...

- Are you going to work? - Yes.

- Where do you work? - At the Good Luck Hotel.

- Where is it? - In Tardeo.

- What do you do for a living? - Me? I'm a singer.

Well, I'm still a beginner.

- Who is she? - Whoever she is, she is hot!

What's going on, Satya?

What do you mean, Bhiku?

Mumbai is on fire, but Sat ya has better things to do!

- Who's that girl? - Let's go.

It's impossible for me in the morning. I have to work.

Do you think I am sitting here idly?

You have a religious practice, but what do I do?

Just twiddle my thumbs?

What do you think? Put Soni on.

Hey! Dad speaking. Working on your English?

- Greetings. - Sit.

Daddy's coming home tonight. He's working right now, okay?

Sit down.

So? Do you have the money?

It's in the car. I'll get it.

You do that.

What's going on?

I remembered a joke. Listen.

It's a woman who has a lover.

She's Shyam. He's Ram. Know what happened?

Ram and Shyam were having a good time together.

And Shyam's husband shows up and starts looking for them.

Both hear him. Ram goes behind a curtain.

And Shyam hides under the bed.

Her husband searches the entire house, but finds no one.

So he's feeling a bit shitty.

He apologizes to his wife and says:

"Would you like me to buy you a fridge?"

She says no, "Ram has already planned to buy me one."

"How about a VCR?," he says.

"No, Ram is already planning to give me one."

"How about a TV then?" "No, Ram will give me one."

Just then, Ram pops up and he says to her: "You slut!

"If I have to give you all this, you'll give me a discount next time!"

- Let go of me! - Stop it, Bhiku!

Bhiku, no! Stop it!

Look, after all, the police are there to serve the public.

Don't worry. Don't worry. I'll call you back. Okay?

Right. Thanks.

Thank you, sir.

It's a bad situation, Khandilkar.

We're under pressure from all sides.

The media are out to get us. They're saying

that the law and order situation has collapsed.

That there are shootings all over town!

What am I supposed to tell my superiors?

Khandilkar, take action! Arrest all suspects!

What good will it do us, sir?

We arrest them and some lawyer will get them out on bail.

We have only one solution. Eliminate them.

This is not a solution. After all, we're officers.

You're not a street thug.

After all there has to be some difference between us and them.

See, the problem is not one of law and order. The problem is education.

We have a huge population. And the literacy rate is so low.

No, no, we must educate them.

This will automatically resolve the problem.

What do you think?

No, sir.

Pain can be tolerated to a certain degree...

But not beyond.

At the end of the day, you'll tell me his name.

I'm all ears.

Tell me his name.

I will ask you one last time.

His name.

Will you tell us his name or not?

Not like that.

Tear him apart. Then he'll understand!

Should I stick it in his eye?

No. Here, like this.

Up the nose and through the eyes!

You guys are killers, huh? Look at this.

Who sent you? Tell me or I'll gouge out your eye.

Who sent you? Malhotra?

- Malhotra, right? - No, it's not one of his guys.

Guru Narayan.

Heard that?

- You dirty bastard! - Guru Narayan!

We've been fooled!

You used to see things coming. What happened to your brains?

What a filthy swine...

Listen! Go tell him that I'm going to break into his house

and kill him!

If you want to kill him, why tell him?

Meaning?

We should kill Guru Narayan in one shot

without any announcement.

Satya's right. We must eliminate him without warning.

The bloody fool has become too smart.

Hey, Satya...

Your heartthrob's here.

Be right back.

Call and find out where that damn Guru Narayan is.

Okay.

Chander, who's that girl?

She is Satya's crush. She lives across from his room.

She's a pretty little thing.

We saw her the other day when we took the van.

They were whispering to each other.

- Something is cooking! - Look what's happening...

He has barely arrived in town and has already wooed a girl!

- Yes. - Why? Are you jealous?

You should do the same.

You should try to woo a girl just like her.

But it's never going to work

if you keep making that face. Smile!

She's pretty. Is she your girlfriend?

That's some chick you got there. Looks like it's easy for you.

I don't want to talk about it.

We don't talk about it, okay?

Didn't you hear what he said?

Hello? Yes... Okay.

Okay. Guru is in Dubai.

- Now what? - What now?

We wait.

But if we let this swine go, he will spill the beans.

I could use a warning!

Bappu, get rid of the body.

And don't leave it outside the gutter like you did last time.

- Is it serious? - What is serious?

- With the girl out there. - No, not at all.

Really? Then why did you get upset? They were just joking.

Why would you talk about anyone like that?

"About anyone"?

Look me in the eyes and tell me...

You love her, don't you?

- No! - Does she love you then?

- Bhiku... - Tell me the truth.

Stop it! I just met her.

Tell me about it.

- She's a friend. - And what am I to you?

I get it, okay? You can't hide anything from me.

Tell me something. Why did you rush out to see her?

Come on, give it up!

Did you see your face? You are blushing!

You know what?

She seems like a nice girl.

But, sir, I even learned classical singing.

For 4-5 years.

My father used to play the sitar.

So if you would give me a chance to sing... I would...

Many girls like you come to me.

They all want to be playback singers.

I can give you a chance.

But why should I do that?

Sir, if you let me sing once...

you can decide for yourself whether I have the talent or not.

Everyone is talented. Even I am.

The question is not talent,

but what else can you give me besides talent?

My guru always said...

that in order to gain, you must give.

Understand?

The producer's here.

Make him feel at home. I'll be there soon.

Come and see me again. I'll see what I can do.

- I will. - Don't hesitate.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

You are... very pretty.

You're back, dear? How was your day?

Did the music director listen to the tape you made?

- Has Dad taken his medication? - Yes, he has. I'll be right back.

No, Daddy. It didn't work.

I'm not depressed, I'm smiling.

Happy?

Vidya, someone brought our gas bottle today.

So I borrowed some money from Satya.

Go give him back 200 rupees.

150 for the cylinder and 50 that I spent.

- Here, have some cake. - A cake?

Why did you make a cake, Mother? You know we have no money!

It's your birthday!

Mom, you're overdoing it.

You know we have no money!

Why borrow money for a cake?

Just because it's my birthday...

I'll eat it now.

It's delicious.

You are here... I looked for you downstairs.

Actually...

I had a meeting with a music director.

I can't believe people like that exist...

and that they can say such things!

In order to gain, you must give something...

Sometimes I feel that things like talent do not exist!

It's just a meaningless word!

And I don't know what to say to people like that.

What am I supposed to say?

I can't even tell my poor parents about this.

Because they are already worried about me.

They're afraid that their daughter

won't make enough money. I wonder what they think...

No matter how hard I explain...

Oh! I've come to return what you've paid.

I only have 170 rupees. I'll pay back 30 later.

No, I don't need the money.

- Please take it. - I'll take it later.

No, please.

Thanks.

Happy birthday!

Thank you.

Hello? It's Satya.

Do you know Runu Sagar, the music director?

Hello?

- Runu Sager? - Who is this?

- A girl came by yesterday. - Who came?

- A girl who sings. - So?

- Give her a chance. - What?

If you want to live, give her a chance.

What a load of rubbish, you bastard!

Next time I shoot you in the head.

Hello?

Excuse me, where does Miss Vidya live?

Who?

Where does Miss Vidya live? The singer.

- She lives on the second floor. - Second floor?

- Hello. - Greetings.

- Is Miss Vidya home? - Just a moment. Vidya!

- Yes, Mum? - There's someone here to see you.

- You are here, sir? - Hello there.

Please, come in, come in. Sir...

Father, this is Mr Runu Sagar.

How do you do... No, thank you.

- What brings you here? - Actually...

I've been up all night thinking about it, and I've decided

that you could sing the song we're going to record tomorrow.

- Me? - The recording is at 9 a.m.

- Be there at the Famous Studio. - Me, sir?

Okay? Fine.

- Have some coffee, sir. - No, I'm fine.

- Be there at 9. - At least have some tea...

- It will only take 2 minutes. - Tomorrow at 9 a.m.

- It's okay, really... - We'd love it...

We'll get into the studio together if this continues.

- Please, sir... - 9 o'clock sharp.

Okay?

Hello, Satya? It's all taken care of. Don't worry, okay?

Yes, it worked. He went to her place!

- Put him through, Chander. - Here's Bappu.

Satya! We did it!

My buddy Razhak is the assistant on this movie.

He told me the pygmy shit himself!

And since then he has had the runs!

He said to call the girl and have her sing the song.

He says her voice is perfect, he's really into it.

He'll make her sing every song in the film!

- I swear it. - Tell him to put Bhiku on.

Is Bhiku with you?

Uncle Kallu wants to talk to him.

Bhiku? Here's Uncle Kallu.

Hello, Bhiku?

Hey... Listen.

Ever since we took out Malhotra,

the contractors have been eating out of our hands.

Even that jerk Gidwani visited me.

He wanted to pay me but asked for a discount.

We'll take care of him.

We'll have to ask for more.

- We shouldn't do that. - Why not?

What if they refuse to pay?

We'll pick 'em off one at a time.

It's work. We must control them through fear, not by killing them.

Satya!

Get up there! Quickly!

Satya, do you know who came by today?

- Runu Sagar! - What?

He wants me to sing on his new album. He really does.

I just can't believe it!

Do you remember what I told you the other day?

I was beside myself.

I just blurted out whatever came to mind.

You know, misunderstandings happen. Sometimes we get it wrong.

But... it makes you happy, right?

Happy? I'm so thrilled!

I still can't believe it, Satya.

- We should celebrate. - You're right, we should!

I'll get your money. I still owe you 30 rupees.

My treat. You buy the next drink, okay?

Okay. Let's go then.

I'll tell you the best.

Last year, I took my wife

to a movie for her birthday. Some flick with dinosaurs.

- Dinosaurs? - Yes, a lizard movie.

Something like... Jija Mata Parak.

Jita Mata Parak... I see. Jussa...

- Juka... - Jurassic Park ?

Yes, that's the movie I took her to see.

And when the big lizard jumped on the little lizard,

she jumped on me!

- I was scared... - I bet you were.

- Have you seen this film? - No.

Oh yeah? It's super creepy! You should take her!

That fat, big lizard's face looked like Bhau's!

Bhau? Who's Bhau?

He's our company president.

He's our manager.

His face is like a bull's. He devours everything he comes across.

- Do you go to the movies a lot? - No, we don't have time.

I watch too much TV.

Star TV, Zee TV, MTV!

- The Bold and the Beautiful. - What are you saying?

She watches Marathi News after 7 o'clock.

I'm putting this on for you.

- What do you do for a living? - I sing.

- What do you sing? - Songs.

- What songs? - What do you mean, what songs?

She sings to make money. You eat and waste money.

Come again?

Who takes care of the house?

- What are you saying? - Put your feet down!

Don't talk nonsense!

Okay. People are looking at us. Look, she's laughing.

- Why are you laughing? - Nothing.

You both love each other so much.

So much... okay. What do you mean by that?

Means like that.

No, more than that... Oh, sorry!

We've been inseparable for ten years now.

- Twelve years. - The first two years,

you were glued to me!

A heavenly gesture

Two names side by side

A heavenly gesture

Two names carved together

What is happening to me?

What is happening to me now?

I caught the moon

to hang on her heart

What happened to me?

What happened to me?

What are you looking at?

I've noticed that you find joy in the little things in life.

Meaning?

Potato fritters, the ocean, music, all those things.

Yes. But that is life.

This is the first time I've felt that.

The day I saw you in the rain

You looked like a honeybee

In the rain, a little bee

The day I saw you...

in the rain

You looked like a honeybee

In the rain, a little bee

You have been a part of my dreams ever since

Your voice and your laughter

Even asking strangers

for your name

What's happened to me?

What's happened to me?

What's happened to me?

Behold my naked heart

On this shore I bare my heart

Dive into the ocean of my heart

The moon shines brightly all day long

And the rosy sun is all around us

On a boat of branches

I engrave your name

What's happened to me?

What's happened to me?

A heavenly gesture

Two names side by side

What's happened to me?

Yes, I understand.

Boss, Babu called.

Guru Narayan is flying in tomorrow.

Hold this.

You had one thing to do and you screwed up!

- There was a problem, Guru. - Shut the fuck up!

They just left. It's a white Ambassador.

But there's a silver lining in all of this, Guru.

They think Malhotra was behind it. What do we do now?

We can't wait any longer, no matter who it is.

We have to kill him now.

Our car is on the left side of the road.

When his car passes, run into it.

Okay.

Give me my gun.

Satya's in the van. Stand by.

I'm ready.

Okay, he's coming... Don't move! Stay in the car!

- Kallu called, Bhiku. - What did he want?

We have to stop this.

What? What do you mean?

What?

Bhau said that?

But...

Okay, let's call the whole thing off!

Did you hear me? We're calling it off!

Bhiku, he's coming.

What is this, Bhiku? What happened?

Kallu called. Bhau said we should stay away from Guru.

What does Bhau have to do with this?

He called us. We need to know for sure. We're going to see him.

Let's go.

Hi, Bhiku.

This is Satya.

Satya...

What were you thinking?

Guru started it.

So? You should have asked me.

You've become a big shot,

so you think you don't have to answer to me anymore?

- It's not that, Bhau. - What is it then?

You think this is just a game?

Call Guru.

Guru has gone too far. I have to teach him a lesson.

- Want to do this now? - When do you want to do it?

Stop talking back!

Elections are coming up.

If you kill him, his men in Dubai will take revenge!

That would be a disgrace to me!

"Bhau Thakurda Jhavale's men are involved in a gang war."

Do you want me to lose the election?

- What's up ? - Busy.

I thought Kallu was a reasonable man.

- It's not his fault. - Why did you do it then?

You shouldn't have!

You are the youngest of them. Stop doing that!

Ask me before you do anything. Understand?

He must be alive to ask.

- Hello, Bhau. - Hello, Guru.

What do I hear? You're fighting among yourselves?

- Bhiku started it. - He says you did.

- He's a liar! - Listen to me, Guru.

Bhau, I respect you very much. I have no quarrel with Bhiku.

It's Satya. He killed my Jagga. I want him at all costs.

Okay, but there shouldn't be any fights with Bhiku.

Understand? Okay.

It's settled with Guru. You're free and clear.

But don't try anything! Understand? Not a thing!

Out you go.

Wait.

See you, Bhiku.

Who's this Satya?

He's very sharp. He's a fast learner.

Bhiku has a high opinion of him.

He's popular in the gang.

He's no grass. Guaranteed.

I really made a fool of myself.

Guru Narayan wanted to kill me, but I must do nothing!

Because Bhau said so!

All the boys will laugh at me. "Hey, Bhiku!"

"You're a sissy, Bhiku!"

I only have to do this because Bhau said so.

Why do you need to listen to Bhau?

Bhiku...

Bhau's interests come first.

He doesn't care about anyone.

He only needs you to win the election.

If he's only thinking of himself, why don't you?

Do you think Guru Narayan will listen to Bhau and keep quiet?

Bhiku, in our business, whoever strikes first...

...wins.

Move over!

Look, he's getting away!

Get the bastard!

Don't kill me, Bhiku! Don't shoot!

Don't kill me, Bhiku!

We're like brothers to your wife!

Is that why you tried to kill me?

Kill him!

That's why you shot me, you bastard!

Bhiku! Shoot!

Kill him!

And he calls himself a friend! I thought he was a friend.

I saved his ass many times!

How many times did I get shot for him?

My wife used to tie rakhi on his wrist. My children used to call him Uncle.

He would come over for dinner!

How about that? See who's Bhiku Mhatre now?

- Let's go, Bhiku! - Damn you, do you understand?

What have you done? Bhau told you that Guru wouldn't do anything!

But you killed Guru Narayan!

Bhau thinks only of his own interests.

So you don't care what he has to say to you?

Who listens to him? Do you think Guru was listening?

You're a fool.

You should have compromised.

It was time to make peace!

You were good friends.

What did Guru do to get you in such a state?

You should have remembered the good old days!

Don't talk about old times. Old times are gone.

Remember the shot I took for him in Nasik?

Want to see the scar? And you still bother me?

If I hadn't done that,

you'd be having the same conversation with Guru Narayan!

Tell him.

You would have had that conversation.

It was him or me. I'm the one standing. Period.

Hello, Vidya? Yes, I'm on my way.

Bhiku, you have no idea what our business is like.

You don't have a clue.

In our business, if one man falls, everything collapses.

SHOTS FIRED AMONG CHILDREN

People were in a panic.

And we don't rule out a gang war.

I totally disapprove

of the commissioner's laxity.

I feel that he is not doing his work properly.

I think we'll have to make some changes.

- One tomato soup. - Yes, madam.

- What will it be for you? - Anything.

And one "anything."

- That'll be two soups. - Yes, madam.

I'm in a restaurant with you and you're reading the paper.

It's that important?

It will never be more important than you.

Satya?

- You never talked about it. - About what?

About yourself. Your hometown. Your family.

What's the matter?

Satya?

Vidya, I never told you. I'm an orphan.

I didn't tell you because...

I didn't know how you were going to react.

Satya...

These things don't make a difference.

It was just a casual question.

I love you, Satya.

I love you.

What are you looking at? Say something!

You are so close to me...

You are so close to me...

You are so close to me...

You are here next to me

Still, I am waitin' for you...

You are so close to me...

You are here with me

And yet I wait for you...

You are so close to me

You are here with me

The sun...

is shining for you

The path...

opens before you

The sun shines for you

The clouds smile at you

The world belongs to you

You are so close to me

You are here with me

You are so close to me

You are here with me

My darling!

Hey... come along!

Let's keep going...

Hey... come along!

Let's keep going down this road

Let's laugh about anything

No matter what

The heart wants...

what it wants...

You are so close to me

You are here with me

You are so close to me

You are here with me

And yet I wait for you...

Couldn't find him? Then check out Chunabatti

and let me know!

Where have you been?

- What were you doing? - Something wrong?

We've been looking all over for him and he asks what's going on.

- What were you doing? - Nothing special.

- I was in Khandala with Vidya. - In Khandala?

We look for him like fools and he's in Khandala!

- Do you want to die? - What's the matter?

You know Bhau's looking for you, don't you?

- It's okay, I can take care of myself. - I know Bhau very well.

He's not going to leave it at that

and let you off the hook.

Listen up!

From now on, don't go anywhere without telling us.

I won't do it again. I'm sorry. Okay?

Sorry? I called you a thousand times. I sent Bappu to Kurla.

Chander has been looking for you everywhere! Are we your servants?

Okay! I'm sorry!

Next time you go to Dubai instead of Khandala.

I said I'm sorry!

Bhiku, I'd like to ask you a favor.

- What's up? - I want to buy Vidya a present.

I'm not sure what to buy for her.

I can't believe this guy!

I haven't seen my wife in four days!

And here he comes and asks what?

"I want to buy Vidya a present"!

It's all about your girlfriend, but my wife, who cares?

What can I say?

Go buy her a comb!

- Bhiku, my friend! - How are things?

- Greetings! - Hello.

You should have told me, I would have privatized the place.

So that the Mumbai police know?

No, no. What can I do for you?

It's not for me, it's for my friend Satya.

He wants to buy his girlfriend a present. Do you have anything?

Show me.

"Show me"? Do you have any idea what he wants?

Show him.

- What would you like? - Anything.

Don't tell her that! She'll dump you right away!

- Understand? - Say sorry.

We have new rings. Would you like to see them?

- How's her finger? - Very nice.

He wants to know her finger size.

- I don't know. - Don't you? Let me see my size.

Give me a size 13.

Here you go.

- It's lovely. - Yes, it is.

- How much does it cost? - Just 100,000 rupees.

It's too expensive.

You love it and haggle over a price? Take it!

I don't have the money!

- Never mind. I'm here now. - No, Bhiku.

It's not about money. Okay?

- Wrap it up. - Okay.

Hey. Satya!

- This one's pretty too. - Say...

How long have we been married?

Twelve years. Why?

Have you ever given me anything in twelve years?

Have you no shame? Don't you ever think of your wife?

- I've already given you presents. - What presents?

These two... children! Chunnu and Munnu.

- Bhiku? - Yes?

Can I give presents to my five girlfriends?

- Aren't you ashamed? - Why is that?

You don't do any work. You drink all day.

And you want me to buy gifts for your girlfriend?

You don't give me any work to do, I must say...

- You'll work? - Yes.

You?

Do I have to remind you of the Mittal affair?

The Mittal affair?

We were going to shake down the manager of the Mittal store.

He started arguing. We shot him.

And he fainted.

Instead of going to Pune, we had to take him to hospital.

I felt faint.

Yes. Like every time we have to waste someone.

Take some meds!

Please give Bhiku his package.

Here, madam.

Yes, Uncle? Do you know what we're doing?

I see.

All right, then.

- What's going on? - There's a new commissioner.

- No crowding, please. - No, no.

One picture, please, sir!

- Sir! - Step aside.

Excuse-me, sir...

Sir! Thank you.

I've been asked to give a press conference.

As a public announcement of my being the new commissionner of police

of Mumbai.

My friends, my colleagues, ladies and gentlemen...

I'm very proud of this opportunity.

You're welcome to ask questions.

I hear you won't allow political meddling with the police.

And because of that, you get transferred from one city to another.

It's a chance to see the country!

Mr Commissioner,

why was your predecessor transferred?

It was a routine transfer.

You say it's a routine transfer,

but he's the head of the police academy now. Is that...

It was a government decision.

And we are here to serve the government, not to question it.

Khandilkar!

Good to see you!

- How long has it been? - Six years, sir.

Come with me.

Bhiku Mhatre, Master Mule, uncle Kallu, Guru Narayan...

They're all the same.

They all began under Bhau Thakurdas Jhavle.

But when Bhau entered politics,

the gang split into two groups. The first is Mhatre's group.

It includes Bhiku Mhatre, Master Mule, Uncle Kallu, and others.

Guru Narayan is the leader of the second group.

Guru controls the Bhandup, Wadala and Antop Hill areas.

He is involved in various trafficking activities.

And the Central, Grant Road, Nepeansea Road

up to Mohammad Ali Road areas are in Mhatre's hands.

He's into extortion, film production

and gambling.

Previously, these two factions had kept a low profile.

But tensions rose when Guru

began doing business on Mhatre's turf.

And who's this Satya?

We don't know much about him.

All we know is that he joined Bhiku Mhatre's gang a few months ago.

He quickly moved up the ranks.

From our information,

this man now controls the Mhatre gang.

Our sources tell us that he was involved in the murder of Guru Narayan.

- Greetings, Sister-in-law. - Khandilkar, it's you!

I forgot he was also transferred to Mumbai.

Please have a seat.

- What's the latest? - Not much.

Are you still single?

Why do you ask? He'll be embarrassed.

It's better to be embarrassed than to regret.

You're old enough to get married.

I will be in a year or two.

There's no rush, really.

Unless you find the right girl, don't even think about marriage.

- Where's Munni? - Today was her first day of school.

She'll be back soon. Will you still be here?

- No, I have to go. - What's the rush?

Stay and have lunch. I'll prepare something.

It's a good thing that Munni entered the school.

What did you say about Guru Narayan's murder?

Guru was murdered without Bhau's consent.

It's going to turn into a gang war

between Bhiku and Bhau.

All right, then. Let them kill each other!

We'll take care of the winner.

- Did you put sugar in it, Jyoti? - Yes, sir, I did.

Is it for me?

Oh, Satya... It's so beautiful.

But...

But, Satya, it's...

You're wondering where I got the money?

I've taken out a loan. I'm paying it back as I go along.

- But... - Don't tell me,

like you told your mother,

that I didn't need to borrow money to give you a present.

You like it, right?

It's gorgeous.

Allow me.

It's a good thing he's gone.

It was bound to happen.

How many times have I wished for this to happen?

Death was better than life.

But at least, he was alive...

Fifteen years in that chair...

He sang so well.

But he couldn't say a word.

I tried to call you.

What's up?

Bhiku called you a while ago. There's a problem with Bhau.

- How's Vidya's mother? - She's okay.

What's going on?

Mule says Bhau wants to see me.

Ask him to come over here.

Okay.

I'm here to admit I was wrong.

It was a mistake.

Guru was a loser. I'll give you that.

What could I do? The elections were just around the corner.

I was surrounded by fools!

I was listening to everyone.

You did well to kill Guru.

Bhiku, I have no problem with that.

But just be careful.

There's a new commissioner in town. Amod Shukla.

He will come after us.

He must not be allowed to exploit our internal strife.

Under no circumstances.

We're gangsters.

We have to stick together.

Do you understand? Do you read me?

You're like a son to me, aren't you, big boy?

Okay.

You're great, Bhau.

You're a very smart boy.

I'm glad that you're with Bhiku.

- Why are you standing? - Bhau, have a seat.

- Get some hot tea. - No, Bhau, not there!

- Come this way. - Here's your chair.

Fatso won't let anyone sit on it.

I've got to sit there too!

You give me your place, but I don't give you mine!

Bhau, I'm going to order some champagne. Get some.

Get us drinks!

Come on.

- Chander! What's up? - My sister's getting married.

- I hope we are invited! - You must come too, Bhau.

I see her in my dreams

Sir, Bhau has joined hands with Bhiku Matre.

And Bhiku Mhatre is helping with the elections.

He's threatened all his rivals.

Since no one has filed a complaint, there is nothing we can do.

How could anyone?

They fear for their lives.

Anyway.

People trust gangs more than the police.

Hello?

Yes, sir?

I'll be there at 8:30 sharp, sir. Okay, sir.

Now this is the limit, Mr Shuklai

Candidates for local elections have been threatened...

and Bhau Thakurdas Jhavle is pulling the strings!

- Yes, we know all about it. - Do you?

- Do the police know about this? - Yes, they do.

- And what do you intend to do? - For the moment, nothing.

Unbelievable! Bullies take the law into their own hands

while the police look on!

Look, we know it's happening, but we can't prove it.

No one has filed a written complaint against Bhau.

So, may I ask you, what are we supposed to do, sir?

- Take some action! - Exactly, but what kind of action?

Should we arrest Bhau for no reason?

And then release him?

We have no hard evidence against him.

Why stage a masquerade?

Mr Shukla, please don't use such words.

I'm sorry, but... there is a limit to everything.

We arrest them and release them later.

Once in prison, they operate from within.

And when they escape, they operate from abroad!

And we are powerless.

Their extradition costs us more money

than they do us at home!

And then there are people like Bhau, who operate in the open

because they know how to crack the system.

Sir, I don't think there is a workable solution.

Mr Shukla, a law protector cannot have the attitude of a law breaker.

Then don't blame us.

They can do anything because they break the law.

We can't do anything because the law prevents us.

- Simple. - Mr Commissionner.

I acknowledge that laws don't always make the job easier.

But the law is not the issue.

That's the way democracy works.

Democracy provides our citizens with a number of fundamental rights.

Men like Bhau

violate these rights and mock democracy.

But that's about as far as it goes.

Constant fighting, violence, threats...

People are scared.

What's the point of law if it can't protect citizens?

Commissioner, I am giving you a blank check.

Do as you please.

But please, clean the city.

- Hello? - Satya...

Police shot Chander.

Satya?

Satya!

Satya...

What are you doing? Come on!

What's wrong?

Any problem?

A friend of mine had an accident.

Is he hurt?

He's dead.

Do you have to go? I'll come with you.

No. I'll see you later.

- Just give me a minute. - No, I'll see you later.

Okay.

The poor fool is dead!

What got into him?

I told him not to go!

He wanted to be a big shot.

Chander, the big shot!

Damn cops...

- What's the point? - He never killed anyone.

There's no point dwelling on it.

"Bhiku, I have a good story!"

He spent his life laughing. He didn't care about anything.

- I had met his mother... - Don't...

Why are you rambling?

"Give me 25,000 rupees. I found him a girl,

otherwise he'll never get married. Take care of him, Bhiku."

- Stop it, Bhiku! - What could I do?

He didn't listen to me. He just did as he pleased.

- Stop it! - Stop what?

He came to see you, didn't he? Why didn't you stop him?

Will it be my fault now?

You don't give a shit! Not about him, not about me!

- All right, forgive me! - What about him? What about him?

Keep making money! Filthy dog!

The bullet went in and out!

- He was like a son to me! - Was he? Was he?

Why did those fuckers kill him?

Because they're cops.

Bhiku...

They had no other way to stop us.

The government has given them a free hand to do so.

So they are using our methods to pick us off.

And they get away with it!

They think the law is protecting them?

We'll show them that it doesn't protect them from us!

What? What do you mean?

Let's take out Amod Shukla.

Are you nuts?

Have you lost your marbles?

Kill Amod Shuklal How will you do it?

How are we going to kill him?

There will be cops on every corner!

It's going to be a wasps' nest!

Kill Amod Shukla... Tell me how it's done!

You might as well go after every cop's brother!

First they'll be angry. Then they'll understand.

If anyone can kill a cop's brother today...

they can kill a cop tomorrow.

Why go after Amod Shukla alone?

Let's target someone else!

Who?

It's the only way.

All right, then.

Do what you like.

But I'll tell you something.

Don't underestimate the police, okay?

I don't underestimate them.

We can kill Amod Shukla or not...

but they are determined to wipe us out.

If we sit back doing nothing,

they will hunt us down like dogs and kill us.

And the hunt will go on

until we fight back.

They think they're safe.

If we kill Amod Shukla, they will fear us.

After this, they'll think twice before they come after us.

Uncle, Amod Shukla's death...

may well be our only salvation.

- Amod Shukla! - He's got to go!

- Police impunity! - It's got to go!

- Police brutality! - It's got to go!

- Amod Shukla! - He's got to go!

Amod Shukla!

After the death of two shop owners at the hands of the police,

fear is creeping into the minds of Mumbai's citizens.

Bansilal and Haresh Mehta owned a fabric store.

They were on their way home after closing their shop.

The police claim to have mistaken them for gangsters.

When asked why they didn't check,

the agents refused to answer.

This is Dev Naïr, live from Mumbai for ZEE News.

Is this true?

Parliament has already been called to account...

Yes, it's true.

The police made a mistake. We all do.

What could the policemen do?

Ask the driver to show his papers?

Ask him where he was going?

If it hadn't been for the shopkeepers,

two policemen would have died.

It's so easy to give your opinion on TV.

But have you considered the conditions in which we work?

Weep for the dead. Insult the police.

Then turn off the TV and forget the whole thing!

And if nothing happens, hold up your placards

for human rights!

Where are all the do-gooders

when the mob kills innocent people?

I don't see any signs saying: "Down with Bhiku Mhatre!"

"Down with Bhau Thakurdas Javale!"

If policemen are butchers, let's not forget

that butchers also feed us.

And they don't like killing animals.

The system makes criminals, not us!

And we'll clean it up as long as it's corrupt!

And right now, I'm in charge of the cleaning.

Look, Khandilkar...

We're having a religious ceremony in a few days...

Commissioner!

- My God! - Amod!

Where are you?

Where are you?

Spread out! Now!

Call an ambulance!

What are you doing?

Get an ambulance, quick!

Look over there!

Amod...

Amod...

The broad daylight murder of Amod Shukla

shook the government to its core.

The police, too, wanted revenge.

The way they cracked down on the underworld

led to unrest, chaos and shoot-outs.

This is the darkest chapter in Mumbai's crime history.

The city of Mumbai, in the grip of palpable tension,

lived to the rhythm of police operations.

And with the election coming up, things only got worse.

Trust in the system and the government began to erode

because of the ever-present danger.

Bhau Thakurdas Jhavle benefited from this.

Police harassment

drove the gangsters underground,

while innocent people suffered.

Human rights organizations

led protests against police violence,

and set up a strike movement.

Police said the accusations were unfounded.

But they eventually gave in.

Eventually, Bhau Thakurdas Jhavle

was the overwhelming winner of the elections.

In the midst of all this, one day, Sat ya took Vidya to the movies.

There are so many people. I thought it would be sold out.

- It's okay. - Is it?

There are also informers among them, sir.

Tomorrow, you can inspect the village.

- By force, sir? - Only if necessary.

Sir...

Here... and there... These two rugged paths

lead to border posts 635 and 638.

I'm going to check them out.

Yes, sir. You can even see the Pakistani border post.

I'll have a Duke's Mangola and a Pepsi.

Step on it! Hurry up!

Drive!

Messages are coming in

There is no rest for us

Letters are pouring in Questions are in the air...

When will you be back?

When will you be back?

Tell us when you'll be back

The house is so quiet without you

Messages keep coming in

Get going! Surround the cinema!

Block all the exits.

Hey, the door won't open!

Open the door!

Attention, everyone!

Quiet! Listen up!

Please stay in your seats!

The police have the room under siege.

Have no fear.

We're looking for a man here.

All room exits are blocked.

Only the back door will open.

So please exit through this door, one by one.

We don't want any trouble, so please cooperate with the police.

Post two men by this door.

- All set? - All set, sir.

All right, then. Open the door.

Watch out, bro!

Run! Run for it!

No! Stop!

- Stop, I said! - Run away!

Stop right there!

Stop! Stop right there!

Don't go away!

I'm telling you to stop!

Stop right now!

Wait!

Stop!

Run! Run for it!

Were you aware that the cinema was packed?

Yes, sir.

Yet you had all the outside exits locked?

I meant to capture Satya

by preventing his escape.

And you saw fit to put the lives of a thousand citizens at risk?

I had no idea... what would happen.

You said you wanted to prevent Satya from escaping...

because he would certainly have taken a shot. Right?

Yes, sir.

So why didn't you suspect that to escape,

he might try something dangerous? Which he did!

Five children, six women and ten men

were killed in the stampede.

Who is responsible for this?

I only did what I thought was right...

at the time.

Khandilkar out for the count, Amod Shukla eliminated!

Guru Narayan is out too!

Who helped Bhau win the election? Bhiku Mhatre!

Who is the king of Mumbai? Bhiku Mhatre!

Is there anyone in Mumbai who can beat Bhiku?

Absolutely nobody!

What a sublime mess you've made at the movies!

- It could have backfired. - What are you talking about?

People were trampled in the stampede.

I wonder how many died.

What? Were you scared?

Not for me, Bhiku, but for Vidya.

She could have been one of them.

What's the big deal, huh?

We're both alive, and so is Vidya.

Don't sweat it.

How do we know we will be alive tomorrow?

That's the risk of the job.

I can't bear this burden any longer. I'm going to tell Vidya everything.

- What do you mean? - About myself.

Who I am and what I do.

Hey, moron! Are you crazy? What are you going to say?

That you're a criminal, a gangster? That the police are looking for you?

Do you think she'll forgive you after this?

And that she'll still love you for telling her the truth?

- So I have to lie to her, is that it? - Why tell her the truth?

I want to marry her!

I'm tired of lying to her.

Every time I'm with her,

I'm afraid of what she's going to ask me.

I'm not the Sat ya she loves. How much longer will this go on?

Since the incident at the cinema, I'm afraid for the future.

Bhiku, do you know when I was happiest?

When I spent four days with Vidya.

Remember when I came back... you were worried about me?

I don't want to spend my life like this!

Bhiku, I'm afraid of losing Vidya.

And all the joys she brings me.

But what can I do? Nothing.

Bhiku... I'm no longer the same Satya,

who was indifferent to everything.

Seeing the innocent die now affects me.

Everyone of them must have had someone to love.

Just like I love Vidya.

Bhiku, by keeping the truth from Vidya, I'm putting her in danger.

I have to tell her the truth!

I'll spill all the beans!

Don't tell her the truth, Satya.

Listen to me.

What's the point in telling her, if it ruins her life?

Tell her a lie... one last lie.

Tell her you've found a job in Dubai.

I'll arrange everything there.

Your business will be completely legal, got it?

I'll take care of everything there. Take her with you

and live happily ever after.

You could at least nod.

Come on, man.

- Can I tell you something? - What?

I'm jealous of Vidya.

Stop it, please, don't joke.

Yes, I'm very jealous of Vidya!

Tell me something... will you invite me to your wedding?

- No. - In Dubai?

I'll arrange everything over there. I'll bring you some money.

And Bhiku Mhatre will be there dancing!

Stop joking, please.

Bhiku Mhatre is a household name in Dubai, you know?

"Bhiku"!

Come on! Even the sun is fed up with your stories!

Hey! How's it going?

Take that away! Take it away!

What did I tell you, you jerk?

How's it going?

- What's her name? - Sony.

Hi, Bhiku!

Sit with us, Bhiku!

I'll be right there.

- Bhau has won the election! - Will you drink the whole bottle?

Your wife will leave you and I'll have to take her back!

- How are you? - I'm fine.

Stay away from me, I'm scared!

Hey! Bhau!

- Bhau won! -And how!

My Bhau's won!

Give me a hug!

My little darling! Look at this garland!

You win! I'll win! I'm going to be a minister!

Put this on!

Now, sit down. Where's Sat ya?

- He didn't come. - He didn't?

He must be with his girl!

He's jealous because he doesn't have anyone!

It's because he's bald! Nobody wants him!

My bald uncle needs a bald aunt!

Sit down, I'll fix you a drink.

I'll do it.

I won the election, right? So make yourselves comfy.

Hey, Bhiku, come here.

- Bhau is fixing drinks... - He's completely wasted!

Bhau, I'll tell you something!

I've got good news for...

Even my mother never opposed me.

And that son of a bitch!

I waited for the elections,

otherwise I would have eliminated him long ago.

It was the only solution.

It was real bind.

With Bhau going into politics, Bhiku would lead the gang.

As long as Satya was around, Bhau would have been under pressure.

Who the heck is Satya?

Who is he...

for daring to challenge Bhau!

Bhau is not an ordinary man, he can do anything.

He could be prime minister one day.

My choice was obvious.

It wasn't easy, but I persuaded Bhau to spare you.

I know that you'll understand.

That son of a bitch would never understand!

He was... obsessed with Satya!

Satya, Satya, Satya, Satya!

And now he's dead!

At Satya's request, he killed Guru and Amod Shukla!

And now, he's dead too!

Stupid bastard!

He didn't understand the nature of our business.

I told him that if one died, all would follow...

It's over for Satya as well.

Khandilkar has been informed.

The police will arrest Satya for the murder of Amod Shukla.

DO you get it?

Vidya...

- Mommy's asleep. - I want to tell you something.

- What's up? - Come here.

Hey, Satya! What's going on?

Vidya...

Satya, what's the matter?

I found a job in Dubai with a salary of 25,000 rupees.

25,000 rupees! Really?

Yes. We'll get married and leave with your mother.

Vidya?

Mom's calling me. I'll tell her and be right back!

Mom, do you know what happened? You can't imagine!

Satya has found a job, and in Dubai at that!

Where is Satya? Where is he?

I live in the apartment opposite his...

You do?

So you jump on the first guy you see?

Your sari is very nice. Did he give it to you?

You no longer have a father. Who pays the bills?

Is he looking after you?

- I... I have a job. - I know you do.

You sing, don't you?

Satya threatened this music producer, didn't he?

You think he hired you for your good looks?

The bastard threatened him with a gun!

What were you talking about before the police arrived?

What did you talk about?

- Dubai... - Dubai?

A job...

Be more specific.

The hotel where he works...

He works in a hotel? The bastard's a fucking pimp!

He was in jail for that before he joined the gang!

Do you know the gangster Bhiku Mhatre? Satya is his right-hand man!

Jagga, Malhotra, Guru Narayan...

Commissioner Amod Shukla... Do any of these names ring a bell?

That bastard killed them all!

The police are after him for 17 murders! And you're involved.

When he marries you, he'll take you to Dubai and sell you to a sheikh!

Fucking pimp!

The captain wants to see you, sir.

Kill him.

Bhau will find out he's been killed.

There is a boat leaving for Dubai this evening.

I've got everything ready.

Just go. What's keeping you, now?

Where's Bhau?

What's on your mind?

What will you do to Bhau?

You want to do him in? How will you do it?

Answer me! What will you do to him?

Uncle...

Just give me a chance.

Why?

Just give me one chance.

One chance.

Hail Lord Ganesh!

I pray to you!

Hail Lord Ganesh!

Hail Lord Ganesh!

Hail Lord Ganesh!

Hail Lord Ganesh!

Are you all right? Hey, Satya!

Within 30 minutes, the police will have the city covered.

But don't worry!

In half an hour, a boat will leave for Dubai.

We'll be at the docks by then!

Don't worry, okay?

- Listen to me, Uncle... - Yes?

Take me to see Vidya one last time.

- Take me to Vidya. - Are you crazy?

Take you to see Vidya! You're out of your mind!

We've got half an hour to get to the docks!

- We've got to go! - Take me to Vidya...

Damn it, Satya! Don't be a dick!

If we miss this boat, we're dead.

We've got to go!

We've got to go...

Uncle...

Don't be an asshole! I won't take you!

Take me to Vidya.

Please.

Okay, I'll take you. Put the gun down!

Listen... don't drag this out.

I live in the apartment opposite yours.

Vidya...

Vidya!

Vidya, open the door.

Please open the door one last time.

- Go away! - Vidya... Vidya...

Please open the door... Vidya!

Go away, I said!

- Please, open the door! - Go away!

Go away! Get away from me!

I lied because I didn't want to lose you.

- Vidya! - Go away!

No! No!

I'm going away for good.

I'm never coming back.

I just want to see you... one last time.

Don't move!

Vidya! Vidya!

No! Go away!

Vidya!

Vidya, open the door!

- Vidya! - Go away!

Open the door!

- What's going on here? - Take her away!

Vidya! Vidya!

Vidya, open the door!

Vidya! Vidya!

- Vidya! - Satya, no!

Back off!

Back off!

Back off!

- Singh? - Yes, sir!
