Original subtitles

‘Every day I look in the mirror to see a hero.’

‘But I just see myself.’

‘I’m Adi.’

‘I’m an actor.’

‘You heard right. I’m an actor.’

‘I have an audition today.’

‘And a short film shoot tomorrow.’

‘There’s no exaggeration in saying I’m a really busy actor.’

That…

That criminal,

…will be hanged in the Chanchalguda jail tomorrow.

Murder case from 7 years back.

I arrested the culprit.

My name was in all the newspapers.

Along with the photo.

Commissioner applauded me at the Press conference.

My wife was really happy.

My kids were proud.

I’m a cop.

And he’s a criminal.

This is the truth the world knows.

But he hadn’t committed murder.

I was desperate to close the case back then.

I trapped the guy and framed him.

Having power made it easy.

Only me and that guy know this truth.

I’m a criminal.

He’s innocent.

He’ll be relieved tomorrow.

But..

I should carry this guilt forever.

Who got punished here?

Him or me?

[phone ringing]

Bro, you good?

I’ll be, once you pay me my 6K.

Give me 2 days’ time. I’ll pay you in whole.

How long, Adi?

I should pay my kids’ school fee and house rent.

You promised to pay me in 2 days.

And it’s been 2 months now.

Bro, things are not looking good for me. I’m going through a rough patch.

I worked in a short film recently.

But that guy bailed on my payment.

I’m still answering your calls, right?

I don’t really care.

But pay me first.

I swear, bro. I’ll pay you in 2 days.

Don’t give me this 2 days bullshit.

You and I both know it’s not true.

Take 4 days and pay me in whole.

Sure, bro. Don’t worry.

Alright.

See you, bro.

‘Yes. I’m a busy actor.’

‘But, this is the reality of my life.’

‘Today is 29th February.’

‘It comes once in 4 years.’

‘I mean, who decides all this?’

Excuse me. I’ve been waiting since really long.

Here’s your tea.

Get my order. - You need to wait, sir.

It’s a special order. One more of that.

Hello, bro.

One lemon juice, please.

One lime juice.

How much?

Ah?

Prices don’t change every day, Adi.

I know the prices, bro.

I was asking about my credit.

That does change every day.

Adi…

180 rupees.

Will you pay now?

180?!

That’s it.

No, bro.

I’ll pay you 200 rupees tomorrow.

Is my order ready?

Here’s your lime juice.

Where’s my order?

Hold on, sir.

Make it fast.

One more of that.

Okay, bro.

Watch it. - Sorry, bro.

Hey, kid!

Hey! Hey!

Juice was tasty, bro.

I saw it.

Shall I get another one?

No, bro. Got an order.

I’ll get going.

Alright. Be safe.

Sure, bro.

Do we have enough milk for evening? - Yeah.

Ajay!

You idiots!

Open the door!

Coming, bro.

What the hell is this! So filthy! - Sorry, bro.

I told you to keep the place clean.

How’s the kid? - He’s fine.

Wake that idiot up and tell him to get some food for the kid.

Okay bro.

Where’s Vasanth?

He’s at the shop.

Hmm.

How many times have I told you to shut the door immediately?

Sorry, bro.

Deepak bro, wake up! Boss wants you to get food for the kid.

One. Two.

Thank you.

‘I hope to see myself on a poster one day.’

‘But, this is my job now.’

‘Did he get punished or…?’

He’s gone crazy.

Why are you overdoing it? Keep it natural. - Sir…

Look at this.

Hi. I’m here for the auditions.

‘Clouds have spread’ - Keep it natural, man.

Come in.

Sit down.

Your name? - Adi, sir.

Your previous projects?

Nothing yet, sir.

My head shots…

No need.

We’ll record it.

Okay, sir.

Let’s start?

Sir, the context?

Didn’t you read the scene?

Don’t you know what it says?

Only the lines were given to me.

The context isn’t clear here.

Okay.

A retired police officer and a convicted criminal are talking in jail.

The police officer is Nagendra Prasad.

The criminal is Guna.

‘I know…’

Nagendra Prasad? - You read Guna’s lines.

I’ll give the police officer’s cues.

Ready?

Ready, sir.

Go through the lines thoroughly.

I’m good, sir.

Let’s do it.

Okay, cool.

Action!

‘How are you, Nagendra Prasad?’

‘I heard that you were retiring.’

‘How are you, Guna?’

‘Guess today’s your last day.’

‘Waste no time and say what you have to.’

‘I thought you’d change with time.’

‘But I see no change.’

‘Same old anger and hatred.’

‘That’s the reason I’m in here.’

‘Is this what you wanted to say?’

‘I’m on death row because some Judge and Inspector have been killed.’

‘Before I die…’

Sorry.

‘Before I die, I wanted to see you one last time and say that I’m not guilty.’

‘That’s what you said 7 years back.’

‘Your statement hasn’t changed a bit.’

‘I don’t care what you think.’

‘I’ve got loads of work. Got to go.’

‘There’s only the two of us here.’

Cut!

Sir…

Sir, was that okay?

I have more lines.

This is enough.

Director will watch the tape in the evening. You can go.

Okay sir.

Sir, will you update me in the evening?

Yeah.

We’ll definitely call you.

Don’t forget to share your number.

What’s the AD’s name, sir?

Abhinav.

Abhinav.

Okay. Thank you.

Send the next guy in.

Hello, Bhai. - Hello.

Hello, Farooq Bhai.

Someone’s handsome today.

Hey, Adi. Curd rice again?

Temperature’s soaring.

This is the best option.

Is the temperature soaring? Or is your budget sinking?

I know you.

What did you bring?

Okra and eggplant. Want some?

I’ll taste the eggplant.

Your wife is an amazing cook.

I need some curry for lunch every day.

Sharat and Murali…

Did you guys eat?

Yes, Bhai.

I’m done, too.

Is that guy new?

Yeah.

He’s a friend. Name’s Raghu.

Hello, Bhai.

Hello.

Welcome to the group.

Be nice to everyone.

We’ll come through when you need us.

Sure, Bhai.

[Watching cricket on TV]

[phone ringing]

Yes?

Bhai, the bet…

Kohli will hit a century. Bet 5K on that.

Super choice, Bhai.

Er…Where’s my last bet money? [notification sound]

I’m not going anywhere, Bhai.

Alright. See you.

Have some more. I got enough for the both of us.

No, thanks. Got a delivery, Bhai.

Why did you accept it during lunch?

Let Murali take that.

It’s okay, Bhai.

I’ll eat at the restaurant while waiting for the order.

You don’t take care of yourself.

Finish it and go.

Can’t help it, Bhai. I took a month’s leave.

Now I’m in crazy debt.

I had an audition this morning. I could only accept 2 deliveries.

Both the idiots didn’t tip me.

See you, Bhai.

I get it, Adi.

But don’t torture your body.

How else can we get through in this city?

Don’t worry about me. Eat. I’ll be fine.

Adi, come home for lunch this Sunday. Bhai!

Fatima’s making biryani. She wants you there.

Sure, Bhai. See you.

Sharat and Murali, I’ll get going.

Okay, Adi. Bye. Drive safe.

Err…Adi,

Fatima wanted me to ask you… Do you sleep fine?

Or do you stay up all night worrying about your life?

Who’s asking? Fatima or you?

It’s okay.

I’m focused on my work and auditions.

Stress comes with it.

Can’t help it, can I?

Sorry, Adi.

I can’t be of help, I can only check with you.

Come on, Bhai. It’s okay.

By the way, how’s your girl?

I saw her at a restaurant with her friends.

Did you talk to her?

No way!

She might call the cops if I make a move.

Don’t be silly. Your day will come.

She’ll see what a good man you are.

I’m in no hurry either.

Raghu…

Yes, Bhai?

We have our own set of rules here.

To help this guy over here,

…divert all orders from Street no.3 and Sri Nagar Colony to him.

Got it? - Done, Bhai.

Bhai, he just joined.

No big deal, man.

Alright. See you, Bhai.

Cool.

Drive safe.

Yewww! This is nasty!

This kid’s stench is all over the room.

Chill. He didn’t pee on you.

I don’t see you cleaning the room.

I also peed my pants when I was a kid.

But I was never this dirty.

I’m going to beat you today. Finish that quickly. Let’s play.

Coming.

Dad, get a new phone.

Calm down.

First learn to use what you’ve got.

Let me get this fixed. New phone can wait.

Please, dad.

My phone needs to be fixed. - How can I help you?

It’s not working. Can you take a look?

Let me see.

What happened?

No idea. It just stopped working.

There’s no incoming and can’t know the caller ID. - Okay.

Can you fix it?

[Notifications sound]

[Notifications sound]

Order for repEAT.

[Notifications sound]

[Notifications sound]

[door bell sound]

Order from repEAT, ma’am. - Yeah.

How much?

280 rupees.

Hmm.

Ma’am, I don’t have change.

Keep it.

500 rupees?!

It’s okay.

Durga, how many kidnappings?

I found 4 kidnapping case files.

Okay.

First victim’s name is Vinay.

9 years old.

He was kidnapped on 14th November in Dilsukhnagar.

Right.

They demanded 10 lakhs ransom.

10 lakhs.

Vinay’s parents filed a police complaint after paying the ransom.

What about victim no. 2?

Victim no. 2 is Rahul.

Hmm.

He’s 8 years old.

He got kidnapped on December 23rd.

So for the next one, they almost waited for a month.

Yeah.

That’s right.

They called asking for 15 lakhs ransom.

Yeah.

Complaint was filed at the Sanath Nagar police station. - Hmm.

Yeah! But the kid was killed because cops got involved.

Bastards!

Next, it was Nishanth. Age 10. January 15th. LB Nagar.

Ransom amount was 15 lakhs again.

Hmm.

This time, Nishanth got back home safely because the ransom was paid.

Fourth victim is Praveen.

Yeah.

10 years.

September 17th, Sainikpuri.

Hmm.

Parents paid 20 lakhs to save the kid.

Yeah.

Now it’s Varun.

Kids have been kidnapped from different parts of the city.

But, the ransom keeps increasing.

They demanded 25 lakhs in exchange for Varun.

And the kidnaps have gotten frequent.

Which means their confidence is also increasing.

Even the most confident criminal commits some mistake.

The witnesses from the Rahul and Praveen cases noticed an SUV on site.

One says it was blue and the other red.

May be repainted.

These guys are meticulous with their planning.

This is…

Tomorrow I’m meeting Varun’s father.

Hmm.

Let’s see.

My head is exploding.

Listen.

You look very tired.

You need to rest.

Come here.

[phone ringing]

Yes, Tilak?

Ma’am, Varun’s kidnappers called for a ransom.

I’m on my way.

What?!

Where are you right now?

Passing the Khairatabad junction.

Okay.

[phone ringing]

Hello!

Hello, can you hear me?

Tilak!

Yes, ma’am?

When will you be there?

10 minutes, ma’am.

Okay.

I’ll try to be early.

Do you need back up, ma’am? - No, Tilak.

No need.

Okay, ma’am.

Where’s the kid’s father?

He’s with me.

Shit! Why?!

Why he?

He got the ransom call. And he’ll be paying the ransom.

We need him, right?

Tilak, it’s only been 2 days since Varun’s kidnap.

This isn’t a ransom call.

What if they kill him?

Durga, slow down!

Ma’am, hello?

Ma’am?

Hello, ma’am. Are you there?

[police siren]

[alarm]

[phone ringing]

Bro, you good?

I’ll be, once you pay my money.

Give me 2 days’ time. I’ll pay you in whole.

How long, Adi?

I should pay my kids’ school fee and house rent.

You promised to pay me in 2 days.

And it’s been 2 months now.

I’ll definitely pay you back.

I’ve been waiting since really long. - Here’s your tea.

Get my order. - You need to wait, sir.

It’s a special order. One more of that.

Hey, Adi. How are you?

Hi, bro.

One lime juice, please.

One lime juice for him. - Okay, bro.

How much? - Ah?

Prices don’t change every day, Adi.

I know the prices, bro. I was asking about my credit.

That does change every day.

Adi…

180 rupees.

Will you pay now?

180, huh?

Er…No, bro.

I’ll pay you 200 rupees tomorrow.

Hmm.

Yeah, right. - Here’s the juice.

Thanks.

We go through this every day, sir.

One omelet for this gentleman.

‘Watch it!’
