Money, rupees one crore was paid to honourable P.V. Narasimha Rao...
...the Prime Minister of India.
He's just selling lies, as he has always done...
...to divert the media's attention from the scam to the Prime Minister.
It is not the 'Harshad Mehta scam'. It is the 'P.V. Narasimha Rao scam'.
And if both sides keep giving statements, problems may arise.
[Sucheta] 'Even if Harshad was lying, he was denting the image of those in power...'
'...and everyone was aware that a solution was necessary.'
Mr. Mehta, you said, that you have a visiting slip...
...dated 4th November, for the Prime Minister's residence.
Yes. That is right.
But I can't find that slip.
[Das] If you contradict yourself...
...you don't really have any case against the Prime Minister.
[Das] 'I hope you understand.'
[Sucheta] 'Curiously, Harshad began to contradict himself.'
'His claims and accusations against the Prime Minister could never be proven...'
'...and remained just rumours.'
'Was Harshad trying to let off the PM as part of a deal? Nobody knows.'
'But the matter fizzled out. Harshad was never charged for dealing in narcotics.'
'But now, Harshad was banned from the stock market...'
'...and the market continued its free-fall.'
'The Sensex dropped from 4461 in April 1992...'
'...to 2000.'
'Those who had lost everything in the market crash...'
'...for them... Harshad Mehta was really a liar...'
[loud thud]
The police have been informed.
You just need to sign here.
Why is he here?
Ask him to leave.
How did this happen?
[Rahil's wife] 'How did it happen?'
I don't know.
You don't know?
You knew everything.
[Rahil's wife] 'You were the smartest, weren't you?'
This man...
...he didn't know anything.
Whenever I asked...
...he would say, "Harshad knows. Harshad knows everything".
So, tell me Harshad Bhai.
Who killed him?
It may look like suicide to you.
But the truth is, you killed him.
You destroyed him.
- Let it be. - You had killed him a long time ago.
Today is just the funeral.
And listen! He's not the only one.
You've killed many people like him.
We invested money on your word.
[Rahil's wife] 'We trusted you and...'
...you say, you don't know?
What don't you know?
What do you not know!
[Rahil's wife sobbing]
[Title Montage]
It's a nice view.
Yes, the view is beautiful.
When you were away from home, you must have missed this view?
You mean, when I was in jail.
Not this view, but I did miss my point of view.
Because my point of view was never captured.
Come.
[Harshad] 'Have some snacks, before we start.'
CBI and IT are so fond of our snacks that...
...sometimes they raid me just to eat some snacks.
- Can I keep it here? - Sure.
And your taste is similar. So, I'm sure you'll like it too.
You seem to know a lot about me.
In the market, you've to keep a tab on both friends and enemies.
So, am I a friend or an enemy?
You know that best.
I think you'll know it soon too.
I'm sure.
- Shall we start? - Yes...
So, Mr. Mehta, you were the common man's hero.
And many people in the market trusted you.
But then, when you were away, they lost their trust...
...they lost their life savings, and a few of them even lost their lives.
So, what do you feel given the losses that people faced because of you...
The loss of confidence in the market...
...can it be restored?
I'm asking you this because... if you are able to return to the market...
...can you resolve this crisis?
Are you still capable of it?
You see...
There is a misunderstanding.
I am not that capable.
I really am not.
In fact, I want to remove this "I" part of it.
I have never said that I'm so capable.
[Harshad] 'Look...'
'I know, many people have faced huge losses because of me.'
In spite of the fact...
...that I have nothing to do with the market fall directly.
We always had a policy...
...that no one must incur a loss because of us.
No individual and bank should suffer because of the dues...
...of Harshad Mehta.
You want me to believe this?
You want me to believe...
...that you feel guilty for the losses you caused to small investors.
Really, Mr. Mehta?
Look, I told you what I feel. I expressed my guilt.
Believing it or not, is up to you.
I can't force you to believe this.
Though, I would like you to believe.
And if it's about losses, then...
...I am suffering too, aren't I?
There's only one way to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
We'll request the special court...
...that we're ready to settle all the claims.
'The settlement commission will take care of everything.'
And they have all the powers to grant immunity.
If the commission agrees...
...gets convinced...
...all your assets will be released.
'But, Mr. Mehta...'
...please don't get attached to these assets.
These days, the special court is more attached to my assets than I am.
This CBI...
Do they have nothing better to do?
Now, they've slapped a new case.
[Bhushan] 'This is the charge sheet.'
They just don't want us to get out of these cases.
As soon as they heard about the settlement commission...
...they're threatening us with charge sheets.
They want to silence us.
This is ridiculous enough to give fever to a donkey.
They say, settlement commissions can grant immunity...
...only for future prosecutions.
[Bhushan] 'Not for ongoing cases.'
[Harshad] 'There's no doubt that CBI has handled my case in a unique manner.'
Unique manner?
You feel like you've been discriminated against?
Yes, I have been discriminated against.
Just look at my case.
In my case, they have notified my entire family.
I have never seen that before. You can check for yourself.
Today, I am left without any assets or money... virtually.
Plus, they've filed so many cases against me.
Usually, every case has one FIR.
But when it comes to me, they've filed seven FIRs in every case.
[Harshad] 'And look at the number of agencies going behind me.'
RBI, CBI, IT, ED, JPC...
The Income Tax Department filed such a big case.
Ten thousand crores.
[Harshad] 'Isn't that ridiculous?'
But, you know what my biggest crime is?
That I'm Harshad Mehta.
[Harshad] 'Why are you rubbing your nose in these law books?'
'Are you planning to quit the business and become a lawyer?'
Business?
What business?
Bhai, now only we know the law, do we stand a chance.
Because, given our situation...
...if we don't become lawyers, we won't be able to do business.
[Ashwin] 'We have the CBI cases to defend.'
IT department is slapping penalty after penalty. We've to defend that.
And our custodian...
[Ashwin] 'His math is all over the place.'
'His office has not even done the accounting correctly.'
Bhushan was saying, they've undervalued all our assets.
Bloody idiots.
[Harshad] 'Let the custodian do what he wishes.'
Let him set the values.
The custodian is value-less himself.
You know what I think?
This is the right time to start something new.
Go ahead.
Start something new.
But this time, it's not just a matter of our assets or of money.
Our name is at stake, Harshad.
When 'Nathhu' gets rich, people start calling him 'Nathalal'.
Once we have money, the name will follow.
That's not how you build a name.
People are calling us thieves.
All these cases... we have to fight against them all.
We have to fight against the system.
We'll have to clear our names from all these cases.
Or else...
Forget us, people won't even leave our children in peace.
So, do you think...
...you'll read a few books, and become a lawyer in a couple of days?
Do you think, all these cases will be over in a couple of days?
Can I ask you something off the records?
It's been three to four years... and I still wonder...
...who got this verbal diarrhoea?
[Harshad] 'Who turned this into a story? Who is this source?'
I never reveal my sources. I think it's unethical.
Of course. I understand.
But now this matter is old, it's stale. How does it matter?
So? Mr. Mehta, I take my sources to my grave.
I'm just trying to understand...
...if your source had a personal enmity with me.
Did he have a problem with me?
[Harshad] 'Huh?'
The systemic loopholes and irregularities that everyone was exploiting...
...calling them a scam...
...maybe he used you against me..?
Use?
Mr. Mehta, I report strictly based on facts.
I'm here because I think it's necessary to get your side of the story too.
[Sucheta] 'Because I believe you need a fair hearing too.'
Fair hearing?
Your source told you something then...
...you believed it and printed it.
And now, when the whole world is pointing fingers at me...
[Harshad] '...when I'm in trouble... Now you talk about a fair hearing?'
I tried talking to you even then. But you were in denial.
Back then, you probably felt that no one can touch you.
These things you say... about being fair and unfair...
...do you think I don't understand what you mean?
When it comes to one's gain, nothing is fair or unfair.
You see, in business, it takes time to create fortune...
...and timing to kill it.
In your business of journalism, it is the same, isn't it? It's all about timing.
You and your source timed it very well.
Mr. Mehta, I am not in the business of journalism.
I write stories based on facts.
Stories that are important. Stories that matter.
Whom do they matter to?
The judiciary? The public? The system?
It doesn't matter to anyone.
- Nobody gives a f**k. - I give a f**k.
Because of this blatant misuse and blatant arrogance...
...the whole system is f****d.
- You seem offended... - Mr. Mehta, I think we are done.
I hear, that you're writing a book on this "scam"?
Do show it to me before you publish it.
I'll do a fact-check.
[Debashis] 'Finally!'
Done with this proofreading.
Sometimes I feel, we should've taken Harshad's suggestion.
He could've helped.
All these numbers and figures...
Just cross-checking them can leave one confused.
And then, we would have to name him in the acknowledgements too.
Oh yes.
- That reminds me... -[Sucheta] 'Hmm...'
We'll have to thank 'Karamchand' too.
Can you stop calling my source 'Karamchand'?
- You know I call him DT. - Oh, yes. Deep Throat. Yeah...
You could've come up with something original.
[Debashis] 'You just stole it from All the President's Men.'
So, you think that is original, huh?
They also stole it, for your information.
You don't know anything. Please go and do some research.
I will.
But I don't need to call your source DT...
...because I know his real name.
- Really? - Of course.
A couple of meetings between you both...
...and I had figured who this "Deep Throat" is...
- Yeah... I know... -[Debashis] 'You don't believe me?'
No.
I can tell you his name right away.
- Can you? - Yes.
- Tell me. - What if I tell you?
- What? - What do I get in return?
Return? You're a journalist.
Since when did the journalists start thinking about returns?
Come on! There has to be some reward.
I kept mum all this while in spite of knowing your source's name.
Okay. Fine.
What do you want?
- ♪With henna, keep your hands decorated♪ - Debu, please...
♪With flowers, keep the palanquin decorated♪
Oh, my God, Debu.
♪To take you away fair maiden, your beloved will make this journey!♪
Is there a point to this?
Marry me.
Tell me the name of my source, first.
Your source has helped so much.
We have to thank him in the book, don't we?
Number 36. Mr. Anil Khurana.
[Auctioneer] 'Next car.'
Number 20. Mr. Raja Duggal.
[knocks the gavel]
...My duties as Prime Minister...
[Sucheta] 'In 1996, Harshad had a stroke of luck once again.'
'Prime Minister Rao was relinquishing his seat'.
'Harshad was no longer perceived as government's enemy number one...'
'He had also got relief in a few cases.'
'His mind was at work again.'
Five years ago we were to destroy Merill Lynch...
Along the way, we got destroyed.
Seventy-two criminal cases.
And more than 600 civil cases.
I'm bigger than a don of the underworld.
[Harshad] 'But yes... This might put me in the Guinness Book of World Records.'
Don't laugh. This is a fact. It's not a joke.
And you are amazing.
When the going got tough...
Hey, idiot!
Because of you, CBI, IT... ...they had made my life miserable.
I wasn't allowed to even s**t in peace.
[Pranav] 'I know how to keep a low profile.'
That is why I'm fine. I'm happy.
But you...
You are Bachchan.
New people have entered Bollywood and the market.
Now the era of both, Amitabh Bachchan and Harshad Mehta, is over.
Darling...
...time doesn't go anywhere.
Rather, it brings with it. Experience.
And experience has its own value. Get it?
True. Experience does have value.
That's why I'm planning to write a newspaper column.
About the market.
What to buy, when to sell, I'll advise people.
-[knock on the door] - Come in.
What is this?
[Peon] 'This is from Harshad Mehta's office.'
'The delivery boy said you'll know, that this is for you.'
- Okay, thank you. -[Peon] 'Okay.'
[phone ringing]
- Hello? - Did you get the photographs, Sucheta ji?
Mr. Mehta, if there's an article about you...
...then I have many pictures of you.
I don't know why you're sending me all of this.
How can I tell my boss what to do?
What?
[Harshad] 'Looks like nobody has told you anything.'
Fine, I'll tell you.
You're going to be my boss.
[Harshad] 'From next month, I am writing a column in your newspaper.'
And since you're the editor of the finance section...
'...that makes you my boss, right?'
So, I thought, let my boss select the photograph...
[Harshad] '...that will go with the column.'
[Harshad] 'I'm not writing this column just to pass time.'
This is a strategy to remain in the public eye.
One should always remain a topic of conversation.
Welcome, Mr. Nair.
- Hello, good morning. - Good morning.
[Nair clears throat]
- Sit. - Thank you.
Ashwin, meet Mr. Nair.
Senior media manager.
He's helping me get the column at Times of India.
Sir, there's a problem.
Top management has some issues with your column.
They are not sure whether they want to publish it right away or not.
You mean Sucheta Dalal has a problem with my column.
But sir, we've found a solution.
There's a Hindi newspaper Navdesh Samachar...
...they are ready to publish your column.
[Nair] 'It also has wider reach among your investors.'
'Mostly, the smaller ones.'
"Mr. Mehta..."
"...some people say that your best days are behind you..."
"...while others look up at you as the market guru."
"What is the secret behind this?"
"There is no secret."
"It's all about practical experiences."
"I've had this exposure of multiple businesses."
"And I am fortunate enough to have worked on the floors of stock market."
"I have dabbled both in stock markets and money markets."
"And I'm sure, no MBA or businessmen would have similar experience."
"So, my advice are more practical than bookish."
"Somebody wants to invest some money today..."
"What would be the stocks he is likely to invest in..."
"...or he should invest in?"
"There are lots of stocks."
"I have identified a few of those."
"Would you like to identify five of them for us?"
"The five stocks..."
"...that in the long term will yield dividends to its investors."
- "Which would you choose?" - "Mr. Nandy..."
"You can't get those names out of me so easily."
[Harshad] "You have to pay the price for it."
[TV Pundit] "And What is that price?"
"The stock itself."
[Harshad chuckles]
[Harshad] "Look, I know many people are interested in my predictions..."
Do nothing, and still look busy.
[Harshad] "So, here is what I've done."
This all that he wants to do.
[Harshad] "We have created a website on the internet."
- Doling out free advice. -[Harshad] "www.harshad.com"
[Harshad]"I'll keep you posted there..."
[Harshad]"...about where to invest and when to invest."
Dhananjay ji, these boys are your future, right?
Yes.
...in the same way, this is the market's future.
Now for tips, there's no need to go to the market and...
...have endless cups of tea and sandwiches.
With this computer, you can get tips and also trade, from home.
Did you understand?
Harshad Bhai...
...do you have a telescope attached to your brain?
[Broker 1] 'How do you see so far into the future?'
The market really misses you.
Just rock the market this time.
Look, buddy, I've seen the worst.
All the accounts are suspended.
We don't know what surprises are awaiting in these cases.
But I have some plans for the future.
Harshad Bhai, doing business in the name of Growmore...
I mean, we have no problem...
...Don't misunderstand me, but in the market... you know..?
How... how will we do it?
Look, buddy.
The problem is the name, right? So we'll change the name.
But only if we want to grow more.
[Harshad] 'Yes, buy the shares of Videocon.'
You can buy them from Calcutta.
[Harshad] 'Buddy, give it some string.'
'The wind is blowing in the right direction.'
This needs to remain high like a kite. Steady.
Okay.
Come in.
Do you need something, Bhushan?
Why? Did I disturb you?
I need to talk to you.
Everyone has a hawk's eye on us.
We're trading after a long time.
[Bhushan] 'You're pushing up the prices of BPL and Sterlite.'
If someone even suspects...
We had made a mistake, right?
[Harshad] 'So, I'm moving forward learning from those mistakes.'
I will only take it as high as I can handle.
But if something changes out of the blue, what can I do?
"At 15:45 hours, India conducted..."
"...three underground nuclear tests in the Pokhran range."
[Sucheta] 'At the peak of Harshad's leveraged position...'
'...India conducted a nuclear test in June 1998.'
'Foreigners panicked, pulled out money and the market simply melted.'
[phone ringing]
- Hello? - Hi.
Do you remember, I was telling you about the stocks...
...of Sterlite, BPL and Videocon and how their prices were shooting up?
-[DT] 'Hmm.' - So, all of their prices...
...drastically fell after the market sank.
[DT] 'I know.'
So, now, the rumours are...
...that there are some Damayanti group of companies...
...that were rigging their prices.
And now they have a huge payment default at BSE.
[DT] 'Okay, so?'
So, I found out that instead of forcing them to pay up...
...the people at BSE are actually helping them.
I mean, they've lowered the margins in the scrips they control...
...and they are arm-twisting other companies to cover their payment default.
Unbelievable. Why is BSE even allowing any of this?
That too, for some unheard-of company.
Exactly what I thought. So, I did some digging.
And, looks like BSE is taking instructions from our old friend.
Who? Harshad?
Who else? Half the people at BSE are still his devotees.
They opened the trading system in the middle of the night...
...to insert synchronised trades at prices...
...that were completely out of line with the day's trading.
But why is Harshad trying to bail out this Damayanti group?
I don't know. Harshad and Growmore...
...don't seem to have any connection to these stocks.
- Unless... - Unless...
...Damayanti Group is in some way connected to Harshad.
Exactly.
What do you want from me?
We have to pull out all the details of this Damayanti Group.
Can you help me?
All the Damayanti Group of companies have the same address.
It's 1208 Maker Chambers 5, Nariman Point, 400021.
Growmore Research and Asset Management Limited?
Thank you. Exactly.
And these four people...
...Dilip Shah, Vinod Shah, Anil Doshi and Dinesh Doshi...
...are directors of this Damayanti group...
...in various permutations and combinations.
Okay...
Do you know who they are?
Jyoti Mehta's brothers.
Jyoti is Harshad's wife?
The outlaw has started a company in the name of his in-laws.
Exactly. We finally have evidence linking Harshad to Damayanti.
You know what?
Let's just give all of this to SEBI.
Unlike last time, they are no longer toothless tigers.
They have all the powers.
Let them investigate.
Okay.
Who had travelled from Mumbai to Delhi on 27th February?
Harshad Mehta?
[Accountant] 'No, sir. It was one of our employees.'
Look, the ticket has been booked in his name.
Just call up the airline and confirm...
...if Harshad Mehta travelled to Delhi on this date.
Sure, sir.
[SEBI Official 2] 'Many calls have been made to this number.'
And, many calls have also been received from the same number.
- Whose number is this? - Sir, I don't know.
Sir, here are all the contract notes.
BPL, Videocon, Sterlite. Keep it carefully.
Sure, sir.
[Sucheta] 'It was established that Damayanti Group was set up by Harshad.'
'No one even tried to cover their tracks.'
'By cornering of shares and price manipulation...'
'...they created an artificial market which ultimately crashed.'
How come you aren't ready yet?
Don't you have to go for your TV recording today?
There won't be any recording for a few days.
With all the things going on... It won't look good...
That is fine.
But you didn't even exercise today.
The doctor has advised you to exercise every day.
Then?
Come on.
Run a little.
I've been running for years now.
Look, I'm still running.
I'm tired now.
I just want to rest now.
I need some peace.
For peace, you need to first calm your mind.
You think too much.
Stop thinking.
Then everything will be fine.
And...
By the way...
...if you want peace, you can always think about me.
Okay, let's try that.
Anyway...
I have nowhere to go now.
There's no need to go anywhere. Stay here... with me.
My time might be up, anytime now.
[Harshad] 'And I might have to go... soon...'
Why are you saying such scary jinxed things?
You advise everyone else to always think positive.
I'm just joking.
Look at me...
What's going to happen to me?
- Come on, make some tea for me. - No, I won't.
Quickly make some tea before something happens to me.
I'm not leaving you alone.
You're all dressed up, as if you were going to be recorded today.
Is it nice?
[Ashwin] 'Bhushan?'
- Are you leaving? - Yes. I didn't have much work, so...
Why? What happened?
The custodian has sent the report.
- Report? - Yes.
The one which comes periodically...
- ...about liabilities and assets? - Oh... Yes...
An entire lot of shares is missing, Bhushan.
I mean, it's in my records but not in their reports.
They must've messed it up during the audit.
I'll look into those reports again.
Almost 27 lakh shares are missing.
Approximately worth 300 crores.
Here...
Look at this...
Did you come across this mistake before?
Ashwin Bhai, there are assets worth 2,000 crores...
...and liabilities worth 16,000 crores.
And god knows, how many shares of how many companies.
Just maintaining the records curdles my brain.
And you have seen how they keep the shares in the custodian's storeroom.
I hope they haven't misplaced those shares.
Misplace?
But don't worry, Ashwin Bhai. I'll check all the records again.
May I go?
Are you in a hurry?
No... We'll leave together if you say.
Go.
See you.
[Harshad] 'How can 27 lakh shares go missing from the records?'
- Your figures are never wrong. - No, they aren't.
But you know. Bhushan maintains the records of all the assets.
He is the one who checks all the reports of the custodian.
But I think, with age, his brain has stopped working.
[Ashwin] 'I don't know what goes on his mind.'
Thankfully, I checked the old records and spotted this mistake.
Bhai, we must inform the custodian as soon as possible.
No, wait...
He's crazy.
He'll suspect us instead.
Let's ask Bhushan. Let him check them again.
Bhai, Bhushan and you don't understand the law.
In none of the previous reports from the custodian...
...are these shares mentioned.
But, they're showing in our records.
I've checked them myself.
I feel, in '92, when we were both in custody...
...that's when this mistake has occurred in the records.
[Ashwin] 'I feel we should go tomorrow, and complain about this.'
It's 300 crores, Bhai.
If we delay even a little...
...the custodian might blame this back on us.
[Ashwin] 'Even if the problem might be in their records.'
If we find these 27 lakh shares...
...our liability will be reduced by 300 crores.
- Three hundred crores? -[Ashwin] 'Yes.'
Okay.
- Tell me. - We have just one request.
Please locate all these shares...
...and restore them in our names, with all the benefits.
First tell me, which shares are we talking about?
And how did they go missing?
In 1992, during the case...
...the court had attached all our assets.
There were two to three storerooms full of shares.
And among them, were these 27 lakh shares.
Two to three storerooms?
How can two-three storerooms full of shares be misplaced by the custodian?
What are you trying to say?
That we've stolen our own attached shares?
- That's what you mean, right? -[Custodian] 'Please calm down.'
We'll do an investigation.
'Your record is unique, anyway.'
There are so many on-going investigations.
What's one more?
What is it, Bhai?
What have you done now?
What did we do?
Why does the CBI want to interrogate me?
Why did they call me again?
It's nothing. Calm down.
We spoke to the custodian about those missing shares.
That a*****e must've told the CBI.
[Harshad] 'So now, CBI is enquiring.'
'Or they are pretending to enquire.'
It's not a big deal.
They'll question a few employees. That's it.
That's it?
You should've spoken to me before going to the custodian.
[Ashwin] 'Spoken to you?'
Meaning?
Ashwin Bhai, if CBI troubles me, then...
[Harshad] 'Hey!'
Sit down and speak calmly.
- Sit! - I don't want to sit!
Then talk.
The shares aren't missing.
[Harshad] 'What do you mean?'
I sold those shares.
You sold them!
Those shares were attached by the court.
[Ashwin] 'What do you mean you sold them?'
Have you sold your brain too?!
The court never attached those shares.
When I gave the list of assets, I didn't include those shares at all.
Then as we have often done, I transferred all those shares...
...to a front company and sold them off at the open market.
A*****e!
Were they your father's shares, m**********r!
How can you f**k us over being one of us?
[Bhushan] 'I..?'
'I f****d you over?'
'I f****d you over?!'
All this while I've been kissing your a**!
CBI was pissing on my face. What did you expect me to do?
You have so many assets and properties.
What do I have? An empty drum!
When you were not getting bail, it felt like the end.
I also have a family.
I have to think about them.
So, I sold off all those shares.
Whatever amount I got, I kept.
[Ashwin] 'We trusted you so much!'
We believed in you like a brother.
Even I had taken Harshad for a brother, Ashwin Bhai.
I believed in him, and joined Growmore.
Tell Ashwin Bhai...
...when you came to me with the offer to join Growmore...
...what did you say, you m**********r!
Do you remember or should I remind you?
You told me, "I want to create history. "
"You need 100 employees who will give their 100 percent..."
"...then, I'm 1,000 percent sure I'll create history."
"But only Bhushan Bhatt can be the commander of those 100 people."
"We are old partners."
"You can take whatever you want. Join hands with me."
[Bhushan] 'I joined hands with you.'
Harshad, you created your history.
But I was going to be history.
Did you make me a partner in the company?
Forget partner, you f**king made me an office-clerk!
Are you even worthy of being a partner?
Do you have the b**ls?
You are a f**king coward.
And what are you crying about?
You haven't made less money. You too have minted a lot.
Look Bhushan, because of your f**k up, I'm not going to go to jail this time.
You a*****e, CBI will think that I've done another scam.
Do you think I want to go to jail?
You deserve to be in jail.
- The CBI will arrest you. - Don't threaten me with CBI!
- Bhushan, you m**********r! - Ashwin Bhai!
Who will tell CBI?
The two of you?
Mehta Brothers?
Ashwin Bhai, what was that?
The pot calling the kettle black..?
You have so many front companies.
[Bhushan] 'You have transferred so many shares to them.'
If CBI gets to know, it won't end well for anyone, Harshad.
It would have been better if these shares had remained missing.
Bhushan, I want my money.
You won't get it.
Hmm? You won't get it.
Do what you can.
And if you have the b**ls then prove...
...in court that you own these shares and take them back.
Get out! Get out of here!
[Ashwin] 'Get out! M**********r!'
Bhushan, you M**********r! I'm still in the market.
I'll have you paraded naked.
F*****g b*****d!
Sir, I'm an honest employee in Harshad's company...
...I do what my boss asks me to.
But your boss wants those shares back which were never in the record.
You handle the records of all Growmore assets, right?
- Isn't it? Tell me. - Yes.
Where have those shares disappeared...
...if neither Growmore nor the custodian have them?
The brothers have secretly sold all the shares in the open market.
Sir, in 1992 when the custodian attached Harshad's assets...
...Harshad did not declare those stocks.
And after he got out of jail...
...he transferred all the shares to front companies.
And between 1993 and 1995...
...he gradually introduced these shares in the market and sold them.
When Harshad had not declared those shares...
...why did he go to the custodian?
Sir, you know Harshad Mehta.
He has fooled everyone, from the share market to the Prime Minister.
This time too, he thought he'll blame it all on the custodian and get away with it.
This is his new scam, sir.
[Amitabh] 'I welcome you all.'
'I welcome you all to today's episode.'
'I am Amitabh Bachchan and you're watching "Kaun Banega Crorepati".'
'Thank you.'
There was a time when I was the Bachchan of the market.
I used to earn millions for the common man.
Now Mr. Bachchan is making common men millionaires.
Even Mr. Bachchan had to move...
...from the big screen to the small to make a comeback.
If we want to make a comeback again, we should also start small.
There you go. Bhabhi. Do you have anything to say?
Small is as risky as big.
And risk is...
...the spice of life!
He won't change.
[doorbell ringing]
[TV playing in the background]
Why don't you understand?
I haven't sold any anonymous shares. This is all my employee's doing...
You f**king white-collar criminals. Who do you think you are?
Are you above the system?
You live in big houses, drive luxurious cars.
Does that give you the power to use us?
You p**p, so many people are on the streets because of you.
So many people died, you m**********r!
Start talking.
Confess everything.
Tell me the truth.
Otherwise, I'll kill you and bury you right here.
Start talking!
[Ashwin] 'Don't worry.'
The special court also gave you five years in the Maruti case, remember?
Did anything happen then?
We took it to the Supreme Court, didn't we?
This time too, they can't keep you in jail for long.
The day I get out...
...I'll f*****g kill Bhushan.
Forget Bhushan.
We'll handle him later.
Listen, Bhai.
I'll get you bail on health grounds.
Okay?
And the CBI can't keep you in jail for long, without any reason.
You're talking like a real lawyer.
This medicine...
Take care of your health.
Take your medicine on time.
Don't flush it down the toilet like you did when we were kids.
And Jyoti has asked you to exercise regularly...
I'll do it, I will.
I'll leave now.
I'll get the date from the court soon.
Don't worry.
[Harshad groaning]
Jyoti...
Call Jyoti...
Sir...
Doctor...
Jyoti... Jyoti!
[crackers bursting]
[Sucheta] 'What's your family's reaction to this entire situation?'
[Harshad] 'My family and I have different points of view.'
'I am on one side, with my ambitions and dreams...'
[phone ringing]
[Harshad] '...and on the other, is my family...'
'...who always stop me from doing things.'
'What should we do now? Why do we need to do it... how?'
'And these cases have given them another excuse.'
'But you see, now I see a point in whatever they are saying.'
'Beyond a few crores, I don't need money.'
' I’m a Gujarati I'm brilliant with numbers.'
'And I know, that if you don't control your money...
'...it can quickly become a curse.'
'It starts giving you negative impact rather than positive.'
'And I don't want to pass this poison to my son.'
'It's true that money can turn into poison.'

[Sucheta] After the scam, the government made many rules...
for both banks and the share market...
A lot changed.
And yet, nothing did.
Like anywhere else in the world, ingenious criminal minds...
went on to subvert these systems and scams continued...

This whole scam or whatever you call, irregularities...
...has been not committed by any one person...
...or any one group of persons.
It is the whole business.
And to the surprise, even now the confession is there from the RBI.
That they were aware of it since last... more than a year.
So even they couldn't change it...
...banks who were the deciding authority...
...who are the one who had the...
...more of a say in the market.
Brokers are the small segment of the whole market.
Only one and one...
...my request is...
...I don't want bouquets.
Don't give me brickbats.
It's too much of a swing from top to the bottom...
...and again swinging back up. And I won't say I'm a hero.
Let me be what I am and I am proud of what I am. That's all.
