Here.
We'll together cook a meal tonight.
We'll relish goat legs, liver etc.
Anyways you're used to feeding on your own liver...
There is something I want to share with you.
I Can't share it with dad.
In years, this is the first time,
you have done something you can't share with dad.
Hey, get one for me.
Okay.
You are drinking?
Everyone does,
but not everyone is a drunkard like you.
Glass?
Why are you laughing?
I had a feeling...
that you wouldn't taunt me today.
No, I'm not here for that...
I have mortgaged dad's rickshaw.
And the house too.
I'm betting next Saturday...
I've been studying the game for three years.
I know how to win.
But if I lose...
We'll lose the house,
and the rickshaw too.
Won't you say anything?
If I do, you'll tell me,
That I've been giving pain to our family for the last five years.
Why are you sharing this with me?
Had to with someone.
Then go tell 'someone'.
Why me?
Because I can only share it with you.
When dad had once caught me, eating chicken at Yusuf's street shop...
hmm...
I was seven or eight years old.
It scared the shit out of me.
I rushed to the railway yard,
and ducked into one of the train compartments.
I had made up my mind.
To rather become a monk than to return home.
I don't know if you remember,
you found me, and said...
Come on, let's go.
I was shit-scared.
Yeah.
You held my hand so firmly, that I wasn't scared anymore.
At home, you looked at dad in the eye, and said...
"It's not his fault."
"He got hooked on it because of me."
Dad spared me and beat the shit out of you.
I'm scared again...
And just like that day,
Again I...
I need...
My older brother.
The same protective brother.
Is he around?
Raise your glass,
Cheers.
Why do you hang around this place, brother?
This bridge can cave in any day.
That's why I come here.
If I fall and die,
People will blame the bridge as well.
Not just the alcohol, and the alcoholic.
The night conceals everything.
See...
The moon looks stunning from here,
compared to any other place.
Can anyone imagine there's a filthy, stinking sewer here?
Remember? We once went to Murud Beach in dad's rickshaw...
Played cricket all day,
Built sand castles...
And...
Mom made mind-blowing rice puffs.
Ujjain Special.
And during sunset...
Zoop...We spotted two dolphins.
Just more few drinks,
And from there...Zoop.
What's that?
Two dolphins will jump from here.
And I'll fall asleep with the dolphins.
You know what people say in the morning?
"Bloody drunkard...
Wasted, in the gutter."
But they have no clue,
That I was sleeping on Murud beach.
Chotu. Chotu.
Have another sip.
Let's go on a picnic.
I won't be able to see the dolphins.
Even in this darkness, I can clearly see the sewage...
If I drink anymore,
I will see waves rising towards me.
This shit will engulf me.
I want to get out of this filth.
- Dad... - Huh?
Dad.
Dad?
What is dad doing here?
Sometimes he comes looking for me,
A father's love...
is more persistent than his useless sons.
Thank God he didn't see you like this,
It would shock him.
I don't want to be blamed for spoiling you.
Come on.
Let's go watch the dolphins. Come on.
Dad's rickshaw is still here.
My father used to think,
The max I would become is a priest who performs prayers, and rituals at everyone's home.
That was his dream...
Basic donation as fees,
some household items,
clothes and food. That's it.
I left Ujjain...
because I had other plans for my children.
I earned, so that you two could study...
I Drove the rickshaw for 12-14 hours a day.
You must be thinking your father did nothing out of the ordinary?
You've no idea what a tough job it is, to have a roof over your head in Mumbai.
I bought this for Rupees 122,000 in 1988.
Last year I paid the final instalment.
Wait.
Let me show you the documents.
If he opens that safe, I am a dead man.
What?
I used the documents as collateral.
Dad...
He came to take me home.
But I insisted that he stays and...
I was missing mom.
We were sitting together,
and thought we'll reminisce our mother's memories.
Rascal, I have no expectations from you.
Using your mother as an excuse to...
ruin your brother's life like you have ruined your own.
I'm prepared,
for the day I find you dead near the sewage.
But if he follows your footsteps, then we're all as good as dead.
Rascal.
Get out.
- Go sleep outside. Get lost. - Dad...
Leave. Go.
Can't talk now. I'm in the library.
Then don't talk.
Just listen.
Kuttey (Dogs).
It's a poem by Faiz. Ever heard of it?
These good-for-nothing stray dogs,
bequeathed with an appetite for poverty,
amass the slurs of their age as capital
and each rebuff from their world as wages.
No rest at night or relief at dawn.
Live in filth,
dwell in drains.
They, who endure the boot-lash of each person,
condemned to perish, piteous with starvation;
Should they desire to rule the world, they could;
and chew upon the very bones of their masters,
if only they were cautioned of their poverty.
O... For someone to tug on their insentient tails...
Do you know What ehsaas-e-zillat means?
Insensitivity to insults.
That's why we rot in these filthy drains.
If only they were forewarned of their poverty.
O... For someone to tug on their insentient tails...
Poverty has long insulted me.
My tail has been yanked.
Please understand that I need to play this game.
This must be the first time in history...
For what?
That someone is using Faiz's poem, to justify gambling.
It's not gambling.
I've studied it for three years, I know how to win it.
Let's meet, and I'll explain everything.
I'm sure you'll change your mind.
And what if I convince you? Will you change yours?
Abhay, I got my answer.
You've made up your mind.
Abhay, I don't care,
whether you live in a palace or in a slum.
But I'm completely against this activity.
So finish your game first, we'll meet after that.
He's gambling.
And you think you're going to marry this guy.
Everyone gambles.
Including you.
You've met Monty once.
You saw his flashy car,
The Rado watch on his wrist...
And managed to lure him, with your cleavage
You are risking your entire life.
There is nothing great in my life anyways,
A mediocre IQ of 69,
and god-gifted cleavage.
What's the most I can lose in this gamble?
That's exactly what Abhay says.
What is the most that he can lose?
Hurry up, get inside.
Hey, you.
Where do you think you're going?
Who do you want?
Stop peeping, get away.
What's wrong?
What time will Ratan sir be here?
He has no fixed schedule. He doesn't come every day.
What do you want with him?
I want to bet money.
Go right in. Everyone inside has come to bet.
How much do you want to bet for?
15 lakh.
He'll be here at 5 o'clock.
Okay, I'll wait.
No need to wait.
Go take a stroll.
Or watch a movie in the nearby theatre.
See you later.
- close it properly. - Okay, fine.
Listen.
Ratan sir.
Why was that guy here?
He's been inquiring for three years,
For the first time, He wants to bet money.
How much?
1.5 million.
I told him to go and watch a movie in our nearby theatre.
What's the matter?
People come here to get charged up,
but you seem discharged.
I'm here to kill time,
but you woke me up sir.
Such manners.
You were calling me an asshole yesterday?
Because of your behaviour.
What brings you here?
I own this theatre.
And seven more like this one.
I came here to play carrom.
Carrom?
Actually billiards...
But these guys, they only understand carrom.
Come on, you rascal.
- Bastard. - Let me go.
Be right back.
Pandu...
turn on the lights.
Horny hyenas, sorry for the interruption.
Boss, your muscles look great.
Cut it, asshole.
Yesterday outside the theatre,
This rascal caused a nuisance.
after he watched a movie here,
He misbehaved with a girl.
Those who are regular know the rules,
but the freshers need to hear this clearly.
In this theatre, we show dreams.
You dream here,
then use the toilet at your home.
In between, if you act smart,
I'll rip your ass off.
What do we do with him now?
- Carrom, boss. - Carrom.
- Carrom, boss. - Boss, carrom.
Let me go, please.
Carrom, boss.
Carrom.
Billiards.
You know what you did, don't you?
Tell me, you bastard.
Let you go, huh?
Boss. Boss.
Let's make him kneel down first.
Come on.
Kneel down.
Why does he have his clothes on?
Take his clothes off.
Take your clothes off. Are you deaf?
Take the pants off.
Why you... Not my pants.
Take your pants off.
Get up.
You'll blow his stumps off at the very first strike, boss.
No, please.
Let me go.
My wedding date is close, sir.
Please. No.
Hit him hard. First strike.

Queen?
I'm going to be married soon.
Hit harder, boss.
No, please.
Take the queen and cover.
Yeah...

Gone for good.
I knocked his balls off.
If anyone wants to have fun,
Please help yourself.

The real movie starts now.

By literature you mean... poetry?
Great.
This is my world. See...
Brother. How are you?
- All good? - Great.
What's the stress?
It's nothing.
Script?
- Yes. - I see...
Honestly speaking, it's a world of the discarded.
Like him for instance.
Horse carts are now banned at the beach.
Earlier, the horse fed his master,
Now, they are both starving.
Here.
- Okay? - Okay, boss.
Feed him grass.
Check the script properly.
So many lines.
- Yes. We've got extra lines today... - Shooting costumes.

Great. That's amazing.

I have a night shift, boss.

Stunning?
This room featured in the movie as well.
But you were asleep, how would you know?

About yourself.
You first.
What about me?
I make romantic films.
You saw one.
I am a producer.
- Here. - No, thanks.
Come on, have it.
Thank you.
I've several other businesses.
But this one has less profit and more responsibility.
Responsibility?
Yes. It's a long story.
I'm all ears.
Only the interesting ones,
show interest.
Bandya...
Yes, boss.
The wallet.
Let it be boss.
Keep it here.
Wait, boss. Don't touch it yet.
Ever thought of suicide'?
If you did, have you thought of the ways to do it?
By hanging yourself?
Swallowing poison?
Slit your wrists?
Self-immolation?
Or throwing yourself in front of a running train?
Incredible, isn't it?
When a person runs out of options,
He thinks of dying.
In fact, death presents you with several options.
Make another one.
In 2008...I owned five hotels.
The government ordered to shut down dance bars.
All five hotels were shut down.
30 girls worked for me.
All of them, suddenly unemployed.
A couple of them went into prostitution.
Six to be exact.
Yes.
I was left with 24.
jobless...
They kept saying,
"Brother, do something".
"Give us jobs."
Jobs don't grow on trees...
But still...
I gave them a place to stay, and food to eat.
Whatever I could afford.
Then one day... on the railway tracks...
She was barely 21.
We had named her Neelam.
Her body was found on the tracks,
and this letter, next to her body...
"Brother, I didn't want to be a whore"
"But I couldn't sit jobless either"
"I left my village to work"
"But sitting jobless under your roof made me feel like..
...a beggar."
"I know, you are a busy man"
"There are 24 girls in the house"
"And every day, each one of them,"
"have suicidal thoughts"
"By the time you find this letter,
I will be gone."
"But those other 23 girls will still be there."
"Please save them."
"They are in dire state"
They can neither become whores
nor remain beggars.
Since that day, those 23 girls
are neither prostitutes
nor beggars.
They are all actors.
Pick up the wallet.
And him...
This guy...
He was a pickpocketer,
One day he picked my pocket...
My pocket.
Though he knew who I was, He picked my pocket.
I was mind-fucked all day
And he came to see me in the evening.
Came to see RK.
He returned my wallet,
and do you know what he said?
Tell him what you said.
I said, "I know what you can do boss, you'll shoot me in the ass".
But...
"I know, boss, you'll shoot me in the ass."
"But I'm here to return your wallet."
"Because there's a suicide note in it."
And then he said...
Tell him what you said.
"Such pockets are not to be picked."
So...there are also incredible people like him in this world.
See...
I told you we'll talk after 15 days.
I can't wait for 15 days.
What's the urgency?
Love.
Love is a problematic thing.
Cannot keep things limited to oneself..
I witnessed a world today that I must show you tomorrow.
That cannot wait for 15 days.
Write down the address.
Here you go.
It will replace Blackberry soon.
Your guest isn't here yet?
Why are you wearing So many clothes?
I have to take your measurements.
Front 11, and from the back...
- Take this stole off. - I am not an actress, sir.
I'm here to meet my friend.
Okay, sorry.
No problem.
How nice.
You are not afraid of guns.
She was mistaken for a B-grade actress,
but didn't lose her temper.
The Odd couple, you two...
Made for each other.
Let's go.
What happened, sir? Come on.
Madam. Let me go. I just came to meet him.
Manjiri.
Look. That's him.
Listen to me, madam.
Manjiri.
Get inside.
Manjiri.
- Manjiri. - Pandu.
Bandya, get the car.
Yes, boss.
