For the past 24 hours,
my life was trying to show me what my end would look like.
This princess would chew me up and spit me out,
and I'll be a silent spectator.
You know, I'm so glad you're fine now.
I was petrified when I saw you fall unconscious.
Even in school,
when you would get hurt while playing or get a fever,
I used to get so anxious. I would have this feeling in me…
-Is there someone in your life? -Sorry?
Do you have anyone in your life, Vikrant?
No.
Now that's such a relief.
Do you know why I always liked you so much?
Because while everybody else wanted to be friends with me,
you were the only one who didn't.
Purva, you…
-I should rest a little. -Sure.
-Please let me drop you outside. -No "please".
Okay.
-Come on. -Vikrant?
Will you be my friend?
Uncle!
Now, you will be.
Take care.
I'll drop you outside, dear. Let's go.
You stay here, Golden.
Oh, man! You will get to tap Akheraj's daughter now.
Stop it, man. Call Shikha.
-Come on, dude, not Shikha again. -What?
You're blessed with German technology and you're chasing after the Chinese one.
Have you ever fainted like this at the sight of Shikha?
Tell me.
Tell me what happened.
-What happened, man? -Leave it.
Hey, tell me what happened. She gave you an envelope and left.
She left an air of mystery behind.
Look at this, you got rejected from Bhilai too.
Why not just accept your fate now?
You're just a visitor
You won't stick around for long
Wow, amazing!
Didi, someone is out there to meet you.
You won't stick around for long
-Dad? I'll be right back. -Yes? Okay.
Come. Have a seat.
Tell me, what's up?
Purva…
I want my Bhilai job back.
What can I do about that? I didn't take that job.
See, Purva, I cannot manage your Zumba classes.
-Why? -Because I didn't spend five years
studying Engineering so I could run behind someone with a file in my hand.
If I had to, I would've started brown nosing right after 12th grade.
Sorry.
No, it's okay. Carry on.
I don't want to live in this city.
There's another firm in Delhi that I have spoken to.
They might be paying less, but they'll send me to London in a year.
I might do an MBA after that.
-You will move to London? -Yeah.
And you'll never come back?
I don't know. For now, all I know is that
I can't spend the rest of my life managing Zumba classes.
Okay. Go.
Okay.
Purva, whatever you've done for me--
You didn't give me a chance to do anything.
-Yeah, but whatever you did-- -I'll do it again.
If you wish, I'll do it again.
Bye, Vikrant.
As morning comes You'll take the first ride back home
Although our daughter's an engineer, she is a good cook, too.
Here, please have some.
Please take this samosa, she has made it.
A cup of tea in this cold weather, feels really nice.
Look outside
-Come on, offer them a samosa. -Please have it.
-Shikha… -This snack is really tasty too.
-Thank you. -You haven't tasted the samosa yet.
-Have the samosa. It's really tasty. -I can't eat anymore.
I'll go and get water for everybody.
Okay, go. Go.
Shikha.
-What is it? -Take a guess.
-Tell me quickly, I have to go. -The Delhi job is confirmed.
Congratulations.
Shall I give the good news to Mr. Sharma's son?
You wore the earrings I gave you for him?
-Did you like them? -You were in quite a hurry to meet him.
You left without asking about my health?
Why? You were too busy playing Doctor with that new boss of yours.
There's no need for this fake bravado, Vikku.
-You're trapped now. -That's bullshit.
I refused the offer of Akheraj's daughter. Told her I can't do it. Go to hell.
-That's how you said it? -Yeah, something like that.
-Honey, what are you doing? -Yes, mom.
-You came to get water, right? -Yeah, I wanted to get some fresh air.
-Okay, tell me, did you like the boy? -Not at all.
They're leaving in five minutes.
-Come soon. -Okay.
-I won't come. -You go ahead, I'm coming.
-What is this supposed to mean? -That I am coming to get you soon.
-Tell your mom that. Okay, I'll come in… -Hey, no…
Ask your dad to get the AC fixed.
The sudden disappearance of one of UP cadre's most competent officers,
SSP Dushyant Kumar, has shocked the entire city.
His family has also confirmed this news.
The administration has appealed to people…
-Purva! -…not to make any speculations…
Come here.
…and make all possible efforts to look for him.
-Is everything okay? -Yes. Everything is fine.
-Is that the accountant's house? -Yes, this is the house.
Leave the saree. You wear that skirt and blouse combo.
Why?
-Why? Because you look cute in that. -Yeah, why?
Don't I look cute in a sari?
The bride should look like a knock-out, too.
Oh, is it?
-Okay, tell me color too then… -The pink one. That one's my favorite.
Okay, Vikki, listen. I was thinking…
-I've caught you, big brother! -I'll call you back.
Tell me the truth, were you talking to a girl?
Keep your voice down. Keep quiet!
-Tell me her name! -I'll give you my laptop for four hours.
-Keep quiet. -I want the girl's name, not the laptop.
-There's no name, take the laptop. -Wait, I'll tell Dad.
-You won't tell me? Wait! -Don't tell Dad!
-Dad! -Why are you dragging him into this?
-I was talking to Golden. -No, you weren't!
-Dad, listen… -You won't ever let me enjoy something.
Cut it off.
-You know, he was talking to his-- -This is nonsense--
Did the power go off?
Check if it has gone for the entire neighborhood.
-I'll go and check. -Hey, what are you…
Look, even Rubik got out. Damn!
If we can't see, I'm sure they can't either.
-Let's go. -Okay.
Every other house has power.
It's just our house. Vicky, what's going on?
-I'm checking. -Okay, check.
I'll call and talk to them.
Hello, is this the electricity department?
Yes, tell me.
I'm Suryakant Chauhan speaking, Mr. Akheraj's accountant.
Do you understand?
I don't have power in my house.
There's power at every house on the street, except our place.
-Sir, you might not have paid the bill. -What are you talking about?
I paid the bill myself, on the 8th. Do you understand?
The cheque might have bounced.
What nonsense is this, asshole? I paid cash. Does cash bounce too?
There's no need to speak to me rudely.
If the bill's paid, bring the receipt and we'll talk.
-Oh, shut up! Bloody bastard! -Dad.
He disconnected. I'll deal with him later.
-Vicky's dad! -What happened?
Get me water, the water supply has stopped.
-How can I fetch you water in the dark? -Go, help her.
-Am I just supposed to just stay here? -Hey, what are you…
-Oh, shit! Go and help your mom. -Mom, I'm coming!
Come quickly!
-Oh, shit! -What are you up to?
-I'm checking. -What are you doing?
Your engineering degree is a complete waste of money.
I'm an engineer, not an electrician.
You don't even know how to fix small stuff, what rubbish?
Mom took whatever little water was left. There's no water in the house now.
One second.
I'm not getting any network. Are you?
-Check my phone. -I'm not getting any either.
There's no water, network or power.
WATER DEPARTMENT
The distribution pipe near your house might be choked.
When will it be fixed?
Register a complaint, we'll see.
What do you mean?
ELECTRICITY DEPARTMENT
The electric pole near your house fell, so we had to cut the power line.
What will we do now?
What can you do?
Keep running in circles around our department now.
For how long?
QUICKTEL TELECOM
-Pay the bill first. -I have already paid it.
Check your systems. Here, see this.
See this. Here.
-The cheque seems to have bounced. -Bounced?
-What did the bank say? -They've frozen the account.
That same old bureaucratic nonsense.
We should leave this city. Everyone's corrupt here.
Vikku, the Delhi firm sent an email.
-What? -You didn't get through.
Vicky, hey! Listen, go home right now.
What happened?
Uncle has called for you. He said it's an emergency. Go.
But what happened?
He didn't tell me. He seems to be a little tensed.
You have illegally encroached upon 700 sq. ft land, Mr. Suryakant.
This building is hundreds of years old.
Everything is on paper, tell me where the fault is.
-We'll find some fault or the other. -What fault?
Nothing. We've issued a notice in his name.
Come and respond to it tomorrow.
Otherwise these guys will come and take you away. Come here, son.
What is he…
You seem to be an intelligent man.
Will you really make your mom and dad
go through something like this at their age?
And you have a young sister too.
You don't live in Rome and fight the pope. Just think about it.
Otherwise, they'll return tomorrow.
Where are you going?
Move.
What happened?
Keep going, class, good going!
-I wanted to talk to you. -Wait inside, I'll come in a bit.
Okay, class, keep the energy high.
Okay, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four.
Okay, good going, class!
Sonali, teach them the next step, and help the people at the back. Okay?
I'll be back in some time. Practice in the meantime, okay?
-Listen, Purva, I… About the job… -Vikrant, just one minute.
Just give me a minute.
…five, six, seven eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
-Purva? -Yeah, sorry. Please tell me.
-I want my job back. -Why?
What happened to your Delhi and London plans?
I genuinely thought about that, Vikrant. You were right.
There's nothing in this city. You'll get better opportunities there.
You told me, didn't you, that you'll help me if I ever need it?
-Yes, absolutely. -So I want my job back.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
Okay, I'll do something. Just wait for two minutes.
Yes, honey, tell me. Is there anything special to ask?
-Yeah. -Tell me.
Listen, will you be able to manage the accounts?
Accounts?
Yes.
Great! Welcome back. That's your cabin.
"Thank you"?
Thank you.
Listen, Vikrant, one more thing.
You'll have to start at 30,000 now.
Dad wasn't ready to give you the job back.
I have convinced him,
but you can refuse if you want. There's no pressure.
Thank you.
Vicky! Power, water, network, everything's back.
The water department called and said that Purva called them herself.
Is it? I didn't know.
You should change you name to "Purvadas." I will prepare the offering.
Very well, mom. You get ready for my naming ceremony.
I'll reach in sometime.
Purvadas!
Stop banging on the door! My mom won't pay for its repair!
Hey, what happened? You could've called me.
-Do you have a knife? -Yes, I do. But why?
I'll use it to carve "Dumbass" on my forehead.
Why are you so upset?
God has no mercy on me.
Maybe the other person will forgive me on reading it.
Hey, what…
Did that bitch have to go ahead and ruin my life throughout the city?
Hey, calm down a little and go home…
I won't calm down, Golden! I was not born to witness my ruin.
I won't let my life get fucked in front of my eyes!
I spy! I found her. We were playing a game.
My new friend, Sonia. New friend Sonia, say hello to him.
Say hello, Sonia!
Be patient, brother.
God is always with you in troubling times.
He will be with him. Come.
Sit here, I'll come back in a bit.
I really needed God's help at that time.
All my dreams were being shattered in front of my eyes.
I had to do something.
But what that was I didn't know at the time.
She won't let us be together, Vikrant.
Don't take off the ring, Shikha.
He told us the papers for our house were faulty.
Now he is saying that I was right all along.
All thanks to Purva.
-Vicky! -Where's your brother?
-Call your brother. -Brother!
-I've called him twice. -Where's the remote? Give it!
Hey, hurry up, I've heated up the food twice already.
-Why is he so sullen? -I don't know.
-He got the job. -He's here, ask him yourself.
His sudden disappearance has caused worry to the Thakur community in the city.
Because of which, the administration has enforced
Section 144 to maintain peace in the city.
SSP Dushyant Kumar, due to retire in two months,
had confirmed plans to enter into active politics.
But the Thakur community is not buying his sudden alleged move to Nepal.
Now, the biggest news of this hour!
New facts have come to light in the case of missing SSP, Dushyant Kumar.
We were going in the car to sir's house,
when he said, "You guys go home, I want to drive the car myself."
So, we got down from the car.
After that, sir took the car and drove towards Banbasa.
I want to inform the viewers that Banbasa is on the Nepal border.
And SSP Dushyant Kumar's car was found close to it.
But Dushyant Kumar has been missing since.
Where was his car found? Banbasa, Nepal.
What was the need to go so far away, Mr. Dushyant?
Many questions arise,
and will keep surfacing until their answers are found.
The nations asks, it wants to know…
-Cut the call, man. -Sir, it's urgent.
Hello?
Shara, pack him up.
…four, five, six…
No, it's okay.
If you're doing something, I'll come back later.
No, dad, please come in.
There's a Zumba day in Bhopal, I was practicing for that.
Oh, yeah.
Tell me when your event is, I will arrange for the chief guest.
Thank you, but before that, come and sit here.
-No, I'm fine. I'm fine. -Dad! Please come here.
-I'm absolutely fine. -Sit here.
That's enough.
This is the first time in your life that you've vouched for someone like this.
Who?
You don't know who?
Isn't he the boy, who went to the same school as you…
AKHERAJ AWASTHI IS SSP DUSHYANT'S SUSPECTED MURDERER.
Increase the volume.
Today afternoon, we received a phone call at the News Nation office.
The caller asked to be kept anonymous,
and claimed that SSP Dushyant Kumar is not missing,
but he was murdered.
And he was murdered in Akheraj Awasthi's office,
in his presence.
The caller has claimed that SSP Dushyant Kumar was murdered,
and then, his body was cut into pieces and disposed off.
But there is no concrete evidence yet that points to the veracity of this claim.
HAS AKHERAJ AWASTHI KILLED SSP DUSHYANT KUMAR?
A native of Sandila, SSP Dushyant Kumar,
had a firm intention of entering into active politics.
As other rivals from the Thakur community were also ready to file their nominations,
this could also be a case of personal enmity.
But up until now, no statements have been given by Mr. Akheraj
either on Mr. Kumar's disappearance or that caller's claims.
According to an anonymous caller,
the chopped body parts found in different parts of the city,
belong to SSP Kumar.
The police has started the identification.
Come with me, Yogesh.
As you can see, the police is busy with its investigation.
But it will be interesting to see
whether these are indeed Mr. Kumar's body parts,
or whether this is an attempt to derail this investigation.
This is nothing but tyranny and barbarism!
An anonymous caller is repeatedly appealing over the phone
that he has witnessed the murder of SSP Dushyant Kumar.
In a country where an SSP rank officer is not safe,
what safety can a common man hope for?
Is there a connection between SSP Dushyant Kumar's murder
and Akheraj Awasthi?
Imagine this, they're blaming a noble man.
What if it's true? What if he has actually killed the SSP?
A person will reap as he sows. There's nothing new in that.
Change this worthless channel.
Akheraj, where are you?
Mr. Akheraj Awasthi, we need answers.
Are these allegations on you true?
At least say yes or no.
You've plunged this caste discriminatory politics into a new abyss.
-Did Purva eat? -Yes, sir, she ate.
The members of Thakur community are unhappy with your silence.
Say something.
Hey. Where is it?
…have some mercy on them. Say something, sir!
Akheraj Awasthi, please give an answer!
-Yes? Tell me. -Jai Hind, sir.
Yeah, did you find out anything?
We're busy doing that, sir.
You just keep denying every allegation.
Fucking hell. This is quite convenient.
You guys continue digging up the SSP's hands, legs and torso,
and all I must do is sit here and keep denying.
We've received orders from the Centre.
And your party is not in power at the center.
-Thank you. -What can we do, sir?
But I want to tell you this, sir,
since no one outside of your office knew about this murder,
the informant is someone on the inside.
Jai Hind, sir.
Who did this?
Who is the asshole who went and blabbed to the press
about where the SSP's body parts are buried?
Why aren't you speaking? Who fucked up?
I was there that day. And all of these men are trustworthy.
HAIL THE WATER GOD
Hey, hello!
What are you doing on a boat, by the riverside?
Let's go. Sir has called you.
Let's go.
Sir.
Where were you?
When?
Where were you for the past two days?
With your sister.
-I'm working for her, don't you remember? -Did you say anything to anyone?
-About what? -Are you trying to act innocent?
-I didn't-- -Listen, asshole.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
I feel like ending you right here, right now.
Did you ask for me?
Take him outside, and make sure that he doesn't go anywhere.
Come on.
-Come on, man. Let's go. -Vicky?
I understood the thing about the seventh house,
but what does that mean?
You can do whatever has been advised to you.
It will be good.
Greetings, sir.
You're from Sandila, right?
Yes.
And that SSP was also from Sandila.
Yes, sir.
-Come quickly! -Hey, why did you bring a band?
A band must be present at Romeo's funeral procession.
Come on, get in line.
And you, beat the living hell out of that drum.
You're screwed, man.
Stop!
Oh, my darling! My Vicky! The apple of my eyes.
How did you get so lucky?
Lady Luck was never so generous to me.
-Dad, what does this mean? -What do I mean?
Sir has chosen you to marry his daughter.
Now, you will be the son-in-law of this house,
and I, her father-in-law.
Your luck shone, and ours too.
May you live long, my son.
Here, play with full gusto!
