Which do you like better?

The beginning of the end?

Or the end of the beginning?

What new bullshit is this?

Is the rising sun more beautiful?

-Or a setting sun? -Piss off.

You all tell me.

Bhaiyya, the rising sun and the setting sun are alike.

They are not.

The world thinks Jamtara is witnessing a new dawn.

But I rather feel

the sun is setting.

The night is approaching.

A long night!

The night is dark Death dances around us

Time to pay for your deeds Judgment day is here

Dance away, o' ashes Dance the night away

The night is dark Death dances around us

Time to pay for your deeds Judgment day is here

He left 18 missed calls!

-But what happened? -Sunny!

What's wrong? Why did you call so many times?

-Speak up! -I hit the motherlode!

What?

I found a hidden treasure!

Have you lost it?

Even you will lose it when you see this. Come here.

-Ever heard of the ColorBus app? -Yes.

Whenever we make bookings or payments on any app,

if we enter the wrong PIN three times, it blocks the card.

-Yes. -Right? Now watch.

One…

Two…

-Three… -And the card is blocked.

No. Just watch.

Four…

Five!

-Six. -So it never blocks the card?

No, it doesn't! That's where the trick lies!

But four digits can have many combinations.

No.

It can be anything between 0000 to 9999.

We have just 10,000 guesses.

Ten thousand guesses?

-Are you crazy? -Okay, listen…

The actual owner of the card will block it

-when you transact on it. -Yes.

How will you withdraw cash then?

-We won't withdraw cash. -What?

-This is just practice. -Practice?

-Yes. -Have you lost it completely?

-But… -Listen, pal!

We got no time for this. The election is in ten days.

Well, in those ten days…

How about we steal everything from the big guy, himself?

-Who? -Brajesh Bhan.

Brajesh Bhan doesn't keep any cash.

His old-timers have it in their accounts.

Try any other way you want.

You'll never be as rich as him. This is the only way.

The elections will be over while you fidget over the phone.

Sunny, we neither have the money nor the manpower.

Stop giving such lousy ideas.

It's not a lousy idea!

Gudiya, if I can get enough people on this, we can crack it.

Sunny, try to understand.

-Listen-- -There's no guarantee whatsoever.

I guarantee it'll work.

-No chance, pal. -Okay…

-Believe me for once. -You keep trying.

We're going to find more people.

-Keep fishing for OTPs then. -Hey! Gudiya!

Wait for me… Gudiya!

Binti.

Hey, Binti. Look.

-It's so pretty! -Mom--

Hey, Mom. I got it especially for you.

It's her age to wear this.

I'm too old now.

I'll get more for her. What's the big deal?

You wear this. You, stand behind her.

Look how well it suits you!

Wow.

Just a minute.

How are you Abhay Bhaiya?

Listen up, pal. What you asked is impossible.

I already paid you five lakhs in advance.

-You can't back out now. -Advance is not enough.

-The company is on high alert. -Oh, really.

-It's too risky. -I see.

I can't do this.

But I was thinking of paying you

-up to 40 lakhs this time. -What?

Forty lakhs?

Fine. So what?

Tell me.

How many zeroes are there in 40 lakhs?

You'll get me killed someday.

But this time, I need details of premium accounts.

-What if I get caught? -What?

If I get caught, we're both dead. Mind it.

I know you can do this.

Why are you so scared?

-Okay, see you. Bye! -Bye.

Want some coffee?

No, you go ahead.

Let's leave. It's late.

Wow! An iPhone!

Your girl is awesome.

She buys you pricey gifts!

Do you mind if I look?

Looks sleek.

The manager is planning to pick a new team leader.

When did this happen?

You're not on the list.

There's a list?

Go, talk to the manager. Or you might just…

Right.

You did great, mister!

Now quickly message it to me.

Listen! I won't send emails or texts.

Why are you panicking?

There's a risk of getting caught.

I don't want to get into this mess.

You want the money, don't you?

What if things get messed up?

Come on now, mister.

Never mind. I'm coming there.

This SIM card business gets good money.

Let's try a hand at it.

I called up that phone dealer from Ranchi.

He's plain useless.

Approach the telecom guy from Dhanbad.

I called him, but he won't answer.

How's it going, boys?

You're back again? Go away.

-More sugar… -Why do you suspect me?

As I told you before, we're friends.

You're no friend of ours. Go away!

I want nothing from you.

I just want to show the world

the real Jamtara.

How do you plan to do it?

I'll shoot a short TV program featuring you all.

You guys are so hard working.

You toiled so hard to get so far.

The world should know about it.

Unlike other news channels, I won't scandalize Jamtara.

Even I'm from Jamtara. It hurts me to see it.

I just need your cooperation.

You'll get all the cooperation you need.

Dear viewers, we are in Jamtara

which has been notorious as of late for cybercrime.

But now, the youths here

have found a new, legal means of earning money.

Goat meat has always been in demand in Jamtara.

Earlier Jamtara only had frauds.

Now there are food lovers.

Shahbaaz, how did this idea occur to you?

To do something different in Jamtara

that would change Jamtara's image in society.

Breathe, or you'll choke to death.

-Shut up, motherfuckers-- -Quiet!

-No swearing in front of the camera. -Shahbaaz!

I dare you to cuss in English.

Sir, his English is top class. He's a good speaker.

-Ask him for a demo. -Fuck you, brats!

Okay now, focus.

I always wanted to be on TV

and be famous.

So I agreed for this interview to promote my meat shit--

-I mean, meat shop-- -"Meat shit"?

Stop stuttering, you dumbfuck!

-Let's do a second take. Go. -Yes.

One should follow his passion…

Motherfuckers…

Assholes!

-You can't bear to see me grow. -No.

-Focus there! -Stop disturbing me.

-Hey! Stop making fun of him! -Let's go again, Bhaiyya.

Well, I've got the footage I wanted.

Now I just need close-up shots of the meat and the shop…

-I can manage. -Good! Let's go now.

-Interview's over. -You were good.

The case is dragging on longer than expected.

They'll leave once it's over.

Officer Saurav will be gone. Yes, madam will leave too.

Hello!

Madam says hi.

Hello! Madam says…

The whole town can hear your voice!

Twelve lakh rupees! Ma'am, we can't help you with this.

Because you gave away the OTP.

It'll be difficult to file a claim.

Hello!

-Biswa Ji, where's the sugar? -Just check the containers.

Hang up now. I've got to go.

But why did you share the OTP?

Sir, he has my name,

account number, and all other bank details.

So I presumed it was a bank employee.

Do you recall anything else that may help with the investigation?

Well…

Sir, before hanging up he asked me not to share my account details.

Well… Did you notice something?

The scammer has a pattern.

Before ending a call he asks victims not to share bank details, just to tease.

Almost like a serial killer.

Investigating at the bank hasn't turned up anything.

But IDHI bank has just one call center in Noida.

We may find some leads there.

Elections are approaching, Madam.

Lot of money is changing hands.

Saurav, head to Noida first thing tomorrow.

He's either working for Brajesh or for Gudiya.

I assure you, you'll be safe.

-Just-- -You promised earlier too.

That you'll keep us safe. But Gopi got murdered!

It's just for two weeks more.

-Didi, why don't you get it? -I'll pay you four times the usual.

-Sorry, I can't-- -Hey!

You minted money with us before. Now you're scared?

I don't want to die for your money.

Let's try the next block.

Not a single person agreed so far.

It'll be the same story there too.

What's the harm in trying?

Let's go.

Why did you come all the way? I was about to come home.

We'd split the bounty 50-50.

That's what we agreed upon.

Of course, then. It's still 50-50.

-We're partners now! -Just because of your lies

I learned English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, everything!

I even made phishing calls.

You didn't give me a single penny. Now you got another woman too?

I will do whatever I please.

Then settle my account.

Now we're even. Go home.

I want my money!

Your money?

I gave her all of it.

Get out! Out!

Ponto!

I want my money! Open up!

Ponto's wife.

What happened, Maria? Maria!

All scammers' wives are in the same state.

Let's go.

I'm trapped here.

I'll run away from here at the first chance.

But I've got no money.

Whatever we earned from scam calls

goes into their accounts.

What if I get you out of Jamtara?

I'll even get you your money.

But why would you help us?

Because until the elections are up

you must do phishing calls for me.

After that, we go our separate ways.

But what if our husbands find out?

Do you have any other options?

Many other scammers got married too. There must be more like you.

Get them all.

Sir, being our premium customer we have come up

with three years of systematic investment plans.

Sir, but it comes with guaranteed…

Sir, if you can visit the bank today we will complete the formalities.

No, sir. It has…

Yes, sure, sir.

Gudiya.

-No problem, sir. -Gudiya!

We can complete this process online as well.

We can't win the elections with these petty scams.

-Just give me a few hours with them. -Sunny, we don't have time!

It wasn't easy to convince them.

They sneaked out of home to get here.

Even your scam is half-baked. It doesn't even work.

Because you won't let it.

You said we're in this together.

-Yes. -Then live up to it.

Gudiya, just give me ten girls.

That's all I ask.

At least give three.

Go to the "Payment" option.

What numbers do we enter?

Here are my card details. We've to find the PIN.

Why are you cracking your own card's PIN?

If you forgot, visit the bank.

No.

I want to find out how long

and how many people it takes to crack one PIN.

But how will cracking your card's PIN fetch us any money?

I'll explain. First, run this test.

And most importantly…

A four-digit PIN could have a maximum of 10,000 combinations.

So Maria…

You'll try combinations from 0000 to 3000.

0001, 0002, 0003, and so on until you reach 3000.

Shabnam, you'll try from 3001 till 6000.

And Dimple…

You try from 6001 til 9999.

It could be any four-digit number among these 10,000 combinations.

Get started.

I found it!

I found the pin! It's 4581.

Good job.

You may go home now.

It's quite late already.

This will be the country's biggest scam so far.

You don't have to call or ask for OTP. Just drain the account empty.

But we don't have much time.

And we need the original cards.

These youths

from the minority community of Jamtara

were into cybercrimes until now.

Now they have suddenly taken up to the meat business.

They've dabbled in crime their whole lives.

What could they be doing in the name of the meat business?

I guess you know the answer.

You never know! The meat you're consuming…

Which your children relish with joy…

Which is sold in restaurants every day…

Which animal does it come from?

Pack four kilos.

Meat or chicken?

Do you have the special kind of meat?

We don't sell that. I have goat meat if you want.

We won't tell anyone!

I told you we don't sell it!

-Liar! Stop lying! -Motherfucker--

Motherfucker! Hey!

-Son of a bitch! -Take this! And this!

Why you…

-Get up! -Motherfuckers!

You motherfuckers…

Shahbaaz!

Hey, Shahbaaz…

Who's there? Hey! Ponto!

-Hey! Get here! -Rocky!

-Oh! -Shahbaaz…

-Bastards! -Hold him.

Pick him up.

Bua Ji, after the incident with the opposition party worker

why hasn't your party issued any condolence statements?

Bua Ji, was your party already aware of this incident?

What's your message for Jamtara Vikas Party?

Bua Ji, a worker from Brajesh Bhan's party

was brutally assaulted in Jamtara.

People even claim that the assailants were from Deoghar city.

What's your reaction to this?

How else could I possibly react?

We all know for a fact

that we pay for our crimes in this very lifetime.

Whoever commits the sin

of selling such illegal meat

will face the consequences.

Brajesh Bhan is a grave sinner.

Whoever acts as his accomplice

will not be spared by the Almighty.

-Bua Ji-- -Hold on.

So Bua Ji, what do you think was the reason behind this violence?

Brajesh Bhan's yard is overgrown with weeds.

It's time he clears them out.

Now the Almighty is doing it Himself.

Then why would I meddle with divine justice?

This election is a lesson to all those sinners

from the Almighty up above.

The one who is righteous will win the final battle.

JAMTARA VIKAS PARTY

My dear people, it is with great joy

that I'm telling you this.

Jamtara's very own cricket stadium

is under construction in full swing.

And it will be ready in a few months.

Hey, big man!

Go away before you get thrashed.

Senator, keep this bullshit to yourself.

We're not fools to believe your lies.

Get going now.

His own party worker was selling banned meat.

And he acts like he doesn't know! Kick him out of here!

-Liar! -Why you little…

Hey! Stop it!

-Hey! Stop! -Don't!

Open the door!

Come in.

What happened? Won't you have tea?

Were you behind the assault on Shahbaaz?

I changed the tides of the election overnight!

Brajesh Bhan is getting pummeled. Isn't it fun?

You didn't even tell me before doing it!

Who are you to tell me what to do?

You don't know a thing about politics.

And you're preaching to me?

Just do what you're told.

I've had enough of this dirty politics.

I can't get someone killed for my selfish gain.

If you act all high and mighty,

I'll throw you back to where I found you.

I just cut you some slack and you're lecturing me!

Go now. Focus on the elections.

I wanted revenge against Brajesh Bhan.

I never wanted to become like him.

Well… That's for me to decide.

Data leak from our call center?

Impossible, sir!

Maybe someone is bypassing security to leak the data.

Sir, we don't allow bags, phones

or any gadgets on our floor.

Then tell me something.

In the last month, more than 700 IDHI Bank customers have complained.

The scammer had the account details and branch details.

It cannot be a mere coincidence

that so many customers from the same bank are getting defrauded.

Now I am fully convinced

that it is a coincidence.

You have no proof that our call center is behind this.

And I cannot give you access to our server room. Sorry.

Of course. You are right.

Maybe it is a coincidence after all. Sorry, my bad.

All right. I've informed the Noida Cyber Police.

I'll be back with a warrant.

Thank you.

Sir, hold on!

I'll get your license revoked!

So many people lost their money! Are you not ashamed?

-Where is it? -To the left.

I won't rest until I find the one who did this. I promise you.

Now let him rest and go home.

My associate will drop you off.

Get up.

Take everyone and go home.

It's a big day tomorrow. Now get up.

Bhaiyya, let me stay.

The doctors are here to attend to him.

It doesn't matter if we stay.

Go home now. Good job.

User of system 22 specifically took screenshots of details

of accounts holding more than 10 lakhs and deleted them.

-Who uses this system? -Hold on, sir.

Sir, Preeti Chawla comes during the day shift

and Abhay Verma for the night shift.

The files' registration time is 9:10 p.m.

That means…

It's Abhay Verma.

-Sir, it's in the other folder. -Oh!

Hello! Abhay?

Something big is going down in the office.

Some people are checking your system.

I thought I should inform you.

Okay.

I spoke to the Noida Police. They're sending a support team.

It will be too late, Dolly. We must act now. Stop!

I'm sure this guy will lead us to the CM scammer.

Abhay Verma?

Who are you?

I'm Saurav. It was my team who called you.

He has escaped.

But keep looking. He must not get away.

I assure you.

Shabaaz's case will not become yet another unsolved murder.

Please stop it.

Jamtara is like my family. However…

My aunt Ganga Devi and her stooge Gudiya…

They want to divide my family in the name of religion.

But not under my watch.

I will show them!

That we're not so weak that any random outsider…

can break our unity…

What have we gotten ourselves into?

Our own city feels alien to us.

I knew Shabaaz since I was six.

We ate and played together. We drank and got high together.

We were inseparable.

But during his final moments,

none of us were with him.

It's all my fault.

I should've never started that damned meat shop.

-Let's shut it down for good. -We won't!

He had vowed to stop scam calls if the business clicked.

Remember how happy he was that day?

He couldn't stop smiling!

Like it was his father's wedding.

That silly chump…

He had put on his wife's talc.

Are you waiting for him to rescue you?

At this rate, you'll never get out of Jamtara.

He has locked me in, Didi.

He won't let me out until the elections.

I even tried escaping a few times.

I almost got caught.

It was a close shave.

I'm lucky to even be calling you.

Fine, I'll think of something. Just be ready.

What happened?

Is this your…

It's not much. You'll need more to win the election.

We don't want your money.

I didn't steal it from Brajesh.

-We don't care. Take it away. -Then burn it!

Brajesh is making around ten lakhs every day.

I'll do whatever it takes to defeat him.

-Just tell me what you need. -We need original cards. Get it.

We need the girls' help to get that.

It won't be easy, but I'll try.

Ask them to poison their husbands and sneak out.

I have a better idea.

Even I have another plan.

Bhaiyya!

Which way is Gandhi Bhawan? We can't locate it.

-How did you get in? -The gate was open. We walked in.

We've been looking all day.

Go straight for two kilometers--

Please explain properly.

What don't you understand?

Don't you get it?

Come on!

-Move! -Mommy!

Mommy!

Move!

Mommy!

Hey!

Release him on the election day.

Give him food on time. And don't hurt him. He's my friend.

Be careful.

What's up, boys?

Done with the day's work already?

Well, Bhaiyya…

Well…

Since last month, someone has been kidnapping our boys one by one.

They even extorted money from all.

We didn't tell you because we were afraid.

I see.

Bhaiyya,

we feel that maybe

Rinku was abducted by them too.

Maybe?

No, Bhaiyya. We're sure it's them.

Who's "them"?

We don't know that yet.

We searched the whole district. Even his phone is unreachable.

We turned Rinku's house upside down.

-But there's no clue-- -So how do we find him now?

Bhaiyya, give us ten days. We'll find out.

-Ten days are enough? -More than enough.

-Assholes… -Bhaiyya Ji!

-Bhaiyya Ji-- -Motherfuckers!

-Is this a joke to you? -No, Bhaiyya Ji!

So much has happened and you're telling me now?

-Sorry, Bhaiyya Ji! -Please!

I'll find Rinku anyhow.

But I don't care how you do it.

I want the money as usual. Say it again!

-As usual! -As usual!

Get out!

Yes, your age.

Yes, I asked your age. Yes, it's a form-filling job and…

Listen-- Hello!

No, sir. You can't visit the back for it.

Sir, if you want to block your card…

Sorry! I mean, you have to unblock it now. I have the access.

Sir, I'm calling from the bank.

Yes, sir. Hello!

I'm suggesting it for your own good.

Yes. Hello?

Sir?

Hello!

You're a dumb asshole, sir!

I'm trying so hard to explain.

Don't you get it?

Your registered phone number will get blocked! Hello?

Your 16-digit card number

and four-digit CVV.

Oh, is it three digits? Fine, tell me the three digits.

Sir, CVV…

Motherfucker hung up on me!

With every call that gets dropped,

I feel like Brajesh Bhaiyya's men will shoot me.

He was asking me to call at night.

Which bank stays open at night?

All our money has dried up.

Now our blood will dry up too.

When he finds out we couldn't make money.

It'll be our funeral on election day.

Bhaiyya, no one is believing us without Rinku's calling list.

They yell at us and hang up.

There's only one way. We must find Rinku somehow.

We made some arrests…

-Good evening, SP. -Sir!

My skilled party worker, Rinku Mondal, has been missing for two days.

And I feel the opposition party has abducted him.

Please start looking for him right now.

-Yes, sir. Biswa, heard that? -Yes, sir.

Sir.

Sir, what exactly did this party worker

even do for you

that anyone would abduct him? Right, sir?

Do you have a death wish, Biswa?

I don't know, sir. Go ahead, kill me.

-Biswa… -Then you'll see.

I'll grant your wish once I win the elections.

That means I'll live longer.

Biswa!

Go out!

Yes, Biswa Ji.

Ma'am, Brajesh Bhan is looking for a certain Rinku Mondal.

So many boys work for him but I've never seen him so upset.

I'm pretty sure

this guy will lead us to the scammer.

SP, it's very important that you find Rinku soon.

-Yes, sir. -Understood?

-Get your entire force on it. -Sure.

Shabnam, come here.

Come here. Don't be nervous.

This cheque for ten lakhs is no compensation.

No compensation can do justice…

to a father who has buried his own son.

But I am glad

that your very own Brajesh Bhan

has taken up the onus to support Shahbaaz's family.

I sincerely hope that your dearest Brajesh Bhan

continues to serve the people of this constituency

like he has so far.

-Suryoday Party! -Long live…

-Suryoday Party! -Long live…

-Ganga Devi! -Long live…

-Gudiya Mondal! -Long live…

-Ganga Devi! -Long live…

-Brajesh Bhan! -Long live…

-Long live… -Brajesh Bhan!

-Long live… -Brajesh Bhan!

-Long live… -Brajesh Bhan!

-Long live… -Brajesh Bhan!

-Long live… -Brajesh Bhan!
