Devmanus (2025) Movie Script

Keshav...
Here.
Laxmi.
Bandya has arrived.
Has he?
Yes.
Do we need to call him?
What do you mean?
Call him.
What took you so long, Bandu?
It's my daughter's birthday.
So I was busy making preparations at home.
Is it?
- Is it connected?
- Yes, it's connected.
Father.
How are you, Madhav?
You called me at this late hour
to ask me this?
I was fast asleep.
But I don't think
it's too late over there.
- Must be around 8:00 or 8:30 p. m. ?
- Yes.
We're going on a road trip
in the morning.
Rasika and me.
- I see.
- That's why we turned in early.
- What is it?
- It's...
nothing urgent.
We just wanted to see you,
I mean, both of you.
That's why we called.
Didn't we speak only a week ago?
What do you think will change
in a week, mom?
That's not the case.
- Actually,
- But what...
your father had something to say.
- Then put him on the line.
- Here.
Take it.
It was nothing.
You didn't send any money
these last couple of months.
We haven't been able
to pay back the loan instalments.
I don't have any money, father.
I just got married recently.
I can't pay for your expenses.
But I had borrowed that money
for your education.
I am your son, after all.
I know, but...
we mortgaged the house.
So sell off the house,
and pay off the loan.
Sell the house?
It's been in the family
for generations!
But you can't hold on to it forever.
Will you be taking it
with you to heaven?
Be practical.
Sell off this house
and buy a smaller house.
It will be one less burden off my chest,
and you'll be free of this stress.
What are you saying, Madhav?
The truth.
Do we have an option?
- That's not what I meant.
- Let's speak later, mom.
I have to sleep.
Madhav...
But...
You asked me to say something.
I finally said it today.
It's pretty late in the night over there.
- And we woke him up.
- Yes.
We shouldn't have called him
in the first place.
I'm off to the market.
Are you coming?
Yes.
- Come, I'll give both of you a lift.
- I am coming.
Yes.
Next time you tell her
your phone is not working.
- Stop here.
- Stop. Stop.
Carefully.
Yes.
- Mind your step.
- Yes.
- Praise to god.
- God bless.
Here.
- It's not required, aunty...
- It's not for you.
It's for your daughter
whose birthday it is today.
- Tell her it's grandma's blessing.
- I will.
Thank you.
Go carefully.
Yes.
Give me a pound of beans
and an ounce of tomatoes.
Are you serious?
Everything is so expensive.
Money doesn't grow on trees.
- Please, no beans.
- Keep this.
And buy whatever you like.
Always dictating her terms.
Always.
Why do you get so irritated with me?
Should I not?
You always insist on calling
that 'beloved' son of ours.
But all he does is humiliate us.
What humiliation?
He is our son.
Are you blaming me
for calling my only son?
Your only son did not inform
his only parents about his marriage.
He has money to splurge
on a new home and on his wedding.
While his father is drowning in debts.
What's done is done.
He will pay off the debt soon.
Solving the math of money
is very difficult.
He made it pretty easy for us.
Sell the house
and move to a smaller house.
So let's shift into a petit little house.
Can you please stop grumbling?
I am sure of it,
everything will work out in the end.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
Even though everything is crystal clear,
why do you take his side?
Because I am a MOTHER.
And I am the enemy.
- How are you, uncle?
- All good.
I need a garland.
- I've one over here.
- You do.
What were you doing over there?
What...
Gifting a flower.
Marigold?
- Take a rose instead.
- Ah...
What are you doing?
We are in the market.
- Everyone's watching.
- Let them watch.
- It's okay.
- I'll hold it in my hand.
All done?
- How much?
- Sixty rupees.
Give.
Take...
- Come.
- Yes.
How much longer?
I'm almost done.
Great.
The Patihani (Sari) looks gorgeous.
Wish I could keep this one for you.
Don't we have a tree growing money bills
and coins in our backyard.
If our 'Coin' (son) had worked out right,
I would have bought half a dozen
saris like this for you.
You are still thinking about that?
Madhav has his own
personal problems.
Madhav's problems.
Oh my...
When will you weave a beautiful'Paithani' like this for me?
First, you get some good numbers
in your exam,
then I'll weave a gorgeous'Paithani' for you.
Promise?
Promise.
Okay. Father sent this sago
porridge for everyone.
Why take so much trouble?
What trouble?
You do so much for me.
Do you charge me tuition fee?
Okay. Keep it inside.
It's not for keeping inside.
I have also not eaten because
I wanted to eat with both of you.
Okay, fine.
Let me heat it up for you two.
I will break my fast
only after moonrise.
I don't have to wait
for the moon to rise,
because I carry my moon with me.
Am I right?
- Run back home.
- Yes, go home.
Why are you hitting me, idiot?
Let's go inside. Don't just...
Hello, aunty.
What?
Do you like it?
It's amazing.
But expensive.
Silly.
Are you crazy?
What expensive? Take it.
It's our property.
Wear it and show me.
She says it's expensive.
You see sir,
When the house is mortgaged to me,
then all the stuff it has
also becomes my property.
Go inside, will you?
Time pass.
Is the bedroom ready, Sir?
- Mr. Dilip.
- Yes.
I'll pay your money today.
But I am short of 4000 rupees.
Why?
I will pay the rest in a couple of days.
But we'll get paid only
when we deliver the sari...
Stop ranting about the sari, Sir.
Here. Hold this.
It's chicken tandoori.
Heat it up for me.
- Come on.
- Mr. Dilip.
I mean...
I am a devotee of God.
And I still heat it up for you.
But not today.
Why?
Today is 'Sankashti' (auspicious day).
So what?
Well, you can eat this,
but only if you can eat this outside.
I will make arrangements for you.
Do I look like a tramp
to sit outside and eat?
Heat it up.
Look.
How to drape this?
What now?
Leave it.
We'll be taking it off anyway.
Turn around. Turn...
Sir,
Isn't she amazing?
Will be back in a bit.
Here.
Keep my drink ready.
Get inside.
What the...
Hey, Keshav.
- Coming. Coming.
- Yes.
Here.
Keep it down.
Yes.
Do you want some?
Disgusting...
What the...
You will never understand
the flavour, Keshav.
You are unlucky.
My darling is here.
Hello, darling.
Are you hungry?
Wait I'll give it to you.
You see, Sir,
my darling doesn't like food.
She only likes to eat chocolate.
In every form.
Have it.
Do you want more?
Aunty, here's your sari.
Hey...
Don't give it back...
What the...
I must admit, aunty,
this sari you weaved is amazing.
I'll give it to my wife.
It will make her happy.
- But...
- See you.
Come on.
Chocolate.
Where's the stand?
Pinky.
Come to me. Oh, God.
My child.
Come, sit.
My princess.
I have something for you.
Wait.
Where is it?
You like it right?
You will enjoy it right?
One minute.
Here you go.
Open your mouth.
Here. Eat it yourself.
So...
- did you have fun today or not?
- I did.
You did? Tell me what you did.
A friend of mine didn't
give me his chocolate,
so I beat him up.
- Pinky.
- Hey.
This is not good.
You should not snatch
anyone's belongings.
It's a sin.
Why do you listen to her?
While you eat this,
I'll go speak to your mother.
My child...
Eat.
Hey...
Take it.
What's this?
Where did you get it?
Like this.
It's completely wrinkled.
Just do as you are instructed.
Don't ask stupid questions.
I get her this stunning sari
and she won't stop complaining.
Thank you.
Hello.
- Hello, Mr. Keshav. Welcome.
- My pension?
Yes.
Here you go.
Thank you.
This is lesser than usual.
This is after deducting
the quarterly interest.
Meaning...
- I'll receive less money this month.
- Only for this month.
From next month,
you will get your regular amount.
Why not deduct it next month?
I needed the money.
This is not for me to decide.
Everything is computer-generated now.
See if you can make an exception.
Why don't you speak with the manager?
Sorry.
We cannot grant you this amount.
You don't have any income.
How are you going to pay it off?
I'll take up a part-time job
while I study in London.
In fact, I also got a job at a cafe.
I'll pay off the loan.
And we're mortgaging the house
as security.
Nine percent is too high.
A friend of mine
got the same loan
for only 8.50 percent interest.
Nine is not too bad.
I am there.
- But...
- You just sanction the loan, uncle.
What do it? Do you know
how expensive it is going to be.
But...
we cannot lend you the amount
you are asking for.
We can sanction one million
against your agricultural income.
But that's not enough.
We need 2.5 million.
Father.
Let's take this one million.
And arrange for the rest later.
What arrangements will you make?
We have the house.
What about the house?
We can discuss this outside.
Please sanction our loan, uncle.
One million is good enough.
- I mean...
- Keshav, should I sanction one million.
I'll pay off the loan, father.
I will not mortgage my house.
Mother.
Why don't you tell him?
Getting a partial loan from the bank
won't solve the purpose.
See, Vikhe uncle also took
a private loan.
What is the problem?
I will be earning in dollars, mother.
One dollar is equal to seventy rupees.
If I earn in dollars,
paying off in rupees
won't be a big deal.
Yes.
But I will have to pay the bank
until you don't start sending dollars.
And don't tell me about Mr. Vikhe...
He pays ten percent interest
on the money he has borrowed.
Understood.
How much do we need?
1.5 million.
- Yes.
- What does the amount come to?
The money lender is not
my father in law.
We will have to mortgage the house.
And if we fail to pay off the loans,
we'll be out on the streets.
- But...
- Take a loan.
I will pay off the loan.
I am your only son.
Both of you will be my responsibility
when you grow old.
- Madhav,
- What?
why can't you look
for a local college?
Please talk to him, mother.
Have I ever asked you for anything?
Listen.
Children these days
Once settled their personal life.
Abandon their parents
like unwanted stuff.
But is our son like that?
He isn't thinking about himself.
Like he said, he wants to prove himself.
Listen.
See if you can do something.
He is our only son.
And our son has our values.
Who can say no to you?
Okay.
Our child, our responsibility.
I'll go borrow that loan.
Listen.
Kapila, from tomorrow,
will need two litres extra.
So that we can pay off the loan.
You don't need to worry, father.
All our worries are over now.
Sister Kavita,
Ten 'Paithanis will arrive as ordered.
Do a proper quality check.
Inspect the weave of the drape.
Greetings, Mr. Rajesh.
Oh! Mr. Keshav.
Did you bring the sari?
There's been a slight issue.
Dilip had come to our house,
and he forcefully took the sari
we had prepared.
The sari is supposed
to be delivered on Monday.
No. I'll finish it by Sunday.
But... if...
we could get some advance,
that would be great.
For buying all the raw materials again.
I know you already
paid advance to us, but--
- But... I request you...
- Please, Mr. Keshav.
Please don't fold your hands.
You are very particular at work,
and sister-in-law is highly skilled,
which is why we gave you the order.
And each time you have always
delivered on time.
So why do you worry?
So...
Keep this 5000 rupees.
Yes. Thank you.
- But you need to hurry up now.
- Yes.
You see, the sari has
to be delivered on time.
Girls have many dreams
with these 'Paithani' saris.
And our 'Paithanis' are special,
Mr. Keshav,
that's why people are prepared
to pay high prices.
They shouldn't get disappointed.
- Okay.
- Don't worry.
I'll deliver the sari
- by Sunday.
- Okay. Yes.
- Thank you.
- Please, Mr. Keshav.
- See you soon.
- Yes.
Sister Kavita,
Please check the saris.
- Vikhe enough of your drama now.
- Dilip sir, please. Listen to me.
- Dilip sir, please.
- What the... What a waste of time.
- Don't throw me out of the house.
- What a waste of my time.
What a waste of my time.
I've told you a thousand times.
If you can't afford it
why do you want to do farming?
You couldn't grow a single sapling
- and he wants to become a farmer.
- Yeah...
Now, now you better leave
and go sleep on the same bed
of black soil.
Don't do this, Dilip sir.
My wife and children will be
out on the streets.
Give me six months.
I'll pay back your money.
With the interest.
Now see, even the produce from
the polyhouse will be ready.
We don't have to worry about
rain or water out there.
Haven't I paid your money
on time before?
Did I drag you out
of your house before?
- Did I?
- No.
So... no money means.
You are not the owner
of this house anymore.
- What the...
- Right.
Sir.
- Look, there he is.
- Please, please you request Dilip sir.
- He's throwing me out of my own house.
- What is he going to say?
He also owes me money.
What say Sir?
Heading home right?
I'll meet you there.
And you, stop irritating me.
Mr. Dilip is not a villain.
He is not a monster.
- He is a hero.
- Yes.
But I always keep my accounts straight.
What you can do is...
You know what, Ganya?
Lock the house
and keep the keys with you.
- I have to deal with something.
- Dilip sir.
- Dilip sir, I beg you.
- Are you crazy?
- Don't throw me out of my house.
- Leave me.
Dilip sir.
Get lost.
- Dilip sir.
- Get lost.
Hey... hey...
Lord.
Take the key. Let's go.
Kapila.
Wait.
Wait. I'll feed you.
You?
You are back already?
Where is the grocery?
Which grocery?
What is this?
Didn't you go to the grocery shop?'
'Ladus need to be prepared
for the Wari. '
So where are the ingredients?
Yes.
Let the sweets be.
We're already short on money.
Pandurang will understand
why we didn't offer him sweets.
You surprise me.
You were the one
who said let's offer Laddoos
to people in the Wari this year.
And now...
What happened?
Vikhe was thrown out of the house.
His stuff was thrown out on the streets
and a big lock was put on his door.
Good Lord.
And now, he will come here
to trouble us.
Who?
Me. Me.
He's here.
Not to trouble you,
I'm here to collect my money.
Why do you slander me?
Aunty, make some tea nice and hot.
Dilip, why are you so merciless?
Vikke's kids are still young.
How will they survive?
They should have thought about that
before borrowing the money, aunty.
Give me my money?
I am going to...
but after a week.
Once she gets paid for her 'Paithani',
we will pay you.
What am I going to do until then?
I...
I'll take your cow as collateral.
- Our cow...
- Pay the instalment and take your cow back.
Dilip.
You torture humans already,
at least spare these speechless animals.
My God.
Looks like you've found your voice
Sir.
Control your wife.
Come on.
- Come on.
- Hey...
Damn you, your cow is just like you oldie,
very stubborn.
- Why you ...
- Hey...
Don't you dare hit her.
Stop right there!
Mr Dilip,
what's going on here?
Recovering my money.
Don't interfere.
Leave the cow alone and go.
Sir.
Don't get involved in this.
Didn't you hear what I said?
Or do you want me to beat you up
in front of all these people?
Get going.
- Get going, Dilip sir.
- Leave.
- Get going.
- It's ok, understood, I am leaving.
- Let's go.
- I am leaving.
Sir.
If he comes back,
inform me.
- Yes.
- I am here for you.
Thank you.
See you. Take care.
Sir, have some tea.
Not now.
Some other time.
See you.
What is the name of the cow?
Kapila.
Kapila, don't worry.
I am here for you.
See you, sir.
What do I do with this now?
The amount lacks by two lakhs.
Next time keep this in mind.
Understood?
- Leave.
- Let's go.
Keep this inside.
So, Deshmukh?
What brings you here?
Efforts should be made if we really want
to meet someone, Dadasaheb. "
Great.
What will you have?
Tea.
- Hey.
- Hey, order a cup of tea for me.
Order placed.
Dada Saheb,
I'll come straight to the point.
The highway construction
will begin soon in the village.
Tenders will be drawn.
The raw materials
will be supplied by you.
There will be trouble.
Managing the construction?
Managing the people.
So, the thing is, Dada Saheb.
When the hands are full,
the mouth stays shut.
Everything gets managed smoothly.
The tea is here.
Sister-in-law herself has brought it.
Hello, sister-in-law.
Careful. I'll take that.
It's ok.
So... what's up? All good?
Dada Saheb,
Lots of work means
Lots of efforts.
And then one expects proper remuneration
for the extra efforts.
Wise people understand the ethics.
Nice.
Sister-in-law.
The tea's fantastic.
Okay.
I'll take your leave, Dada Saheb.
Sorry.
I should be saying "Will be back".
I'll be back soon, Dada Saheb.
Soon.
Now.
They were on this side of the wall,
and on the other side?
On the other side?
- Was us.
- Okay.
And in between?
Chilling silence.
A simple paper pin,
Dropped would have made a loud noise.
That's what you call "Pin drop silence. "
But if they were already quiet,
Then why did you hit them?
Right?
Hear me out.
Hear me out.
So,
One bullet whizzed past me.
Like 'whhhhiiizzzz'.
I sprung up and
opened fire. Fired bullets like rain,
Firing from this side,
and firing from the other side.
And in between?
Was you.
Then, when the operation ended,
sir gave me a tight slap across the face.
That's when the ringing
in my ears stopped.
How?
Like this.
What the... Get up. Get up.
- Do I pay you to do nothing?
- Sorry Sir. We were just leaving?
- All of you damned creatures want free pay.
- We are going.
Here he comes...
The thing is, Mr. constable.
Out here,
I am the one
who makes people's ears ring.
And then?
Pin drop silence.
But you see,
Deshmukh sir is sitting inside.
So you better hurry up and go inside.
Otherwise, you'll hear a ringing sound
in your ears.
Good.
- I'll go see him.
- Yes.
You continue.
I lost my damn audience.
Now, Pin drop silence.
Deshmukh sir,
this isn't fair.
We grease your palms,
but you side with others.
What did you say?
We grease your palms,
but you side with others.
It's unfair.
You are served a feast,
while we get stale bread.
This is also not fair.
And next time,
choose your words carefully.
Otherwise,
I will show you in an instant
who has a collar against his neck.
No need to show anything.
Here is your fresh piece
of buttered bread.
Pick it up.
Pick it up.
Pick it up.
And hand it to me with respect.
And say,
"Please, accept this, sir. "
Please accept this, sir.
Keep it.
This buttered bread seems
to be featherlight.
Make it heavier.
You're expanding your business,
expanding your area.
The protection money
should increase as well.
Right?
We'll see who needs protection.
Once you become the target,
You need protection.
Pray to god,
that I don't come behind you.
For protection.
See you.
Dilip sir.
Do one thing.
Listen. Listen.
That rascal Inspector Deshmukh.
Follow him.
And do it secretly.
Find out who this rascal meets with,
what all the bastard is up to...
I need to know everything.
But don't let him see you.
I will fuck him now.
Mic testing. Mic testing.
Hold on to your seats.
Hold on to your seats.
Now presenting,
the beauty your heart desire,
Lavanya Sanglikar.
Boarded the train at night,
in a new saree.
I've left from home to reach you.
with a sweet desire of meeting you.
Wearing my heart on my sleeve.
Please accept me when I arrive.
It's a strange feeling.
My heart is racing.
Hold me tight, o beloved.
Just signal me once.
And look here I come.
Just signal me once.
And look here I come.
And look here I come.
She is so beautiful,
just like the beloved goddess of the god of love.
She is wounded by your gaze.
She is beauty personified,
She is absolutely charming.
Just like an angle from heaven
has appeared on earth.
Just signal me once.
And look here I come.
So many days passed,
I waited and waited.
But you did not remember or care.
Tell me how will
my budding heart blossom?
You're my heartbeat
and the air I breath.
I don't know how to live without you.
Tell me how do I send
this message to you?
It's a strange feeling.
My heart is racing.
Hold me tight, o beloved.
Just signal me once.
And look here I come.
Just signal me once.
And look here I come.
And look here I come.
Many of them like you came
and crowded the streets
Shadowed their fair faces black
Tell me who are you?
You think you are beautiful?
Like a pure gold coin?
Like pious milk without adulteration?
I am like rain to the parched soil.
I am like a cure to all the illnesses,
and I am like Elixir the world needs.
Why are you trying
to find Someone else?
It's impossible to find another like me.
If you look inside your hearts
you will find only me.
It's a strange feeling.
My heart is racing.
Hold me tight, o beloved.
O beloved, please
O beloved, please
Just signal me once.
And look here I come.
And look here I come.
She is so beautiful,
Just like the beloved goddess of the god of love.
I was wounded by your gaze.
She is beauty personified,
She is absolutely charming.
Just like an angle from heaven
has appeared on earth.
Just signal me once.
And look here I come.
Just signal me once.
And look here I come.
And look here I come.
See this. How do I look in the photo?
- Absolutely stunning.
- Handsome.
How does Mr. Dilip look?
- Like a star.
- Star.
- Star.
- Do I look like a star or not?
- Star.
- I am a star.
But then that wretched girl,
when I asked for a simple photo
Refused to click one, that witch.
A simple photo?
And that bloody organizer.
He has insulted The Mr. Dilip.
I am not going to spare him.
No one saw anything, Dilip sir.
Yes.
Tell me bro, when such a beauty is dancing
in Front of them is anyone going
To even notice Dilip Sir?
What did you say, rascal?
Don't forget your limits Sunny
or I will shove you into the ground!
How dare you laugh at me?
I only meant that
no one noticed anything.
That's not what we meant, sir.
Honestly.
No one noticed.
What the...
Those who notice me unnecessarily
choose to ignore me,
And those who choose
to ignore me, all will pay.
Calm down, sir.
Not here.
Not here.
Open the door, Keshav.
- I'll show this Dilip today.
- Dilip Sheth has arrived.
- Ignore him.
- Open the door.
Showing attitude ha?
Bloody Keshav?
- He's going to make a scene all night.
- Open the door quickly, come on.
Do you think he will last all night?
- He'll soon get tired and fall down.
- Open up, Master.
Don't stress about it.
Ignore him.
I'm going to take his cow, the...
That's it, wait, I'll show you.
What...
Not done Sir.
You watched it only once.
This one should be watched over
and over again.
I spent the whole night watching
this until the phone's battery died.
I charged the phone today especially
for you.
Watch it. It's your video.
But, can I say something?
You've got the stamina of an athlete.
You kept on going
for the whole night?
This position,
That position...
And that last one
was just mind blowing, amazing.
Sir?
Hello.
I...
Constable Mohite is there,
he will attend to your needs.
No, No, No
He's come to meet you.
Sir is here to complain about
the ruckus I created outside his house.
Tell him. Tell him.
Tell him everything.
And also tell him
how you have borrowed money
from me with a heavy interest rate,
and how you don't pay me
back on time.
Tell him.
Are you thinking
of smashing the phone, sir?
Because you shouldn't bother about it.
I have a backup.
I always keep a backup.
The phone is brand new.
Can I have it back?
I don't want it cracked.
I'll be seeing you then.
You won't believe what stamina he has.
See you later.
Bye, sir.
Sir.
This man has made
our lives miserable.
Mr. Keshav, Mr. Keshav.
- He brings booze to my home.
- You borrowed money from him.
Sir.
So, pay him off
and get rid of this trouble.
But, if you give him a warning...
Is it my duty to always
get you out of trouble!
Am I your son-in-law?
Go Mr. Keshav Go!
I said leave, Mr. Keshav!
Come in, mister.
Come in.
Come in.
- Dilip?
- Take a look.
- See this... it's nice and spacious.
- Mr. Dilip?
- What are you doing here?
- And the field is here too.
Take a seat, Sir.
Sit down here quietly.
Since he needs the money urgently,
the deal is getting locked in a cheaper price.
- What urgency do I have?
- And...
How much land is at the back?
- Oh yes, 10 acres of farmland at the back.
- Great.
The view from the top is great.
- Let's go upstairs.
- You will like the top view.
- Listen, Dilip sir.
- Great.
Looks nice.
- What have you sown?
- Sugarcane.
- Where do you think you are going?
- Is it full 10 acres.
Yes.
Take a look.
All the land you see sugarcanes on,
belongs to me.
Dilip sir.
- That too. All the way to that tree.
- Dilip sir.
- Dilip sir.
- Yes.
What's going on?
Customer for the house.
But I am not selling the house.
Who is going to pay off my loan?
You have no intentions of paying up.
So I got a customer for the house.
Once the deal is fixed,
they will pay advance.
No, please. I'll pay you back.
I'll pay everything
I owe little by little.
When?
When are you going to do it, Mister?
Even I am tired
of bothering you all the time.
And you are a dangerous person.
You filed a complaint with the police.
- Please, that was a mistake...
- What mistake?
Tomorrow if the police arrest me,
what about my money?
I will pay it all back.
Instead, we'll give you a couple
of weeks and you can leave after that.
And Dilip always keeps
his accounts straight.
Once the transaction is complete,
I'll keep what is mine
and give you the rest.
Look over here. Come on.
- Dilip sir.
- Over here.
- See the sugarcanes.
- Listen, Dilip sir.
- Uncle?
- Take all you want.
Uncle?
What is it, Rama?
Aunty has asked
for the box of Rangoli colours.
There is an event at the temple tonight.
We are going to make beautiful
Rangoli designs.
It's under the table over there.
Take it.
And she has sent this book back.
Wait, I am coming.
Listen, don't come upstairs.
Listen.
Why did you bring it up here?
You should have kept it on the table.
- It's okay.
- Now leave.
Listen, girl.
Come here.
Go home.
Wait.
I am only giving her a gift.
Take it.
Buy some ice cream.
Yes...
Next time when I come,
I'll bring some chocolates.
Take it. Come on.
Take it.
Bye.
"Look here I come. "
Let's go, guys.
- Filing a police complaint against me...
- Right.
"I am coming. "
Eight thousand.
Seven hundred and fifty.
Dated...
What is this?
You are not ready yet.
To go where?
Don't you remember?
Aren't we supposed to go watch
'Dasavatar' at the art festival.
Remember Rama told us the other day.
Yes.
It completely slipped my mind.
Doesn't matter.
Get ready quickly.
And we'll leave.
I am busy with something.
Dilip is becoming a pain in the neck.
Do we still owe him a lot of money?
We do, but...
I was checking to be exact.
Should we try calling
Madhav once again?
No.
Okay, then. I won't go either.
- I'll tell Rama.
- Not at all.
You go.
In fact, I'll finish this quickly
and join you.
You go.
Or she will feel bad.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
- Should I go?
- I'll finish this and join you.
- Okay, see you.
- Yes, go.
Here is the teacher's house.
- Stop.
- Where?
I said stop the bike.
See you.
Dilip sir.
Should I wait or go?
Bro, my girl is coming...
I'll take time.
Did I scare you Sir?
It's just me. Don't be scared.
What are you up to?
Let me see.
My God. Checking the accounts.
Are you planning on returning
my money in one go?
Do it later.
Tidy up the place.
My darling is coming over tonight.
Get up.
I said get up.
Where is it?
Oh, here it is.
Chicken Tandoori.
Heat it up for me.
No auspicious day today right?
Keshav...
And no wasting time.
Hurry up.
Hurry up with it, mister.
Here.
Bravo.
I don't see aunty around.
She has gone to watch 'Dasavatar'.
I am also supposed to go see it.
In fact, I am going there now.
Are you telling me to leave?
I mean... I'll leave once you are done.
I am going to take time.
- Where is my darling?
- Uncle.
Rama.
How much longer are you going to take?
- 'Dasavatar' will begin soon.
- I'll come over soon. You go.
- You go.
- Sir?
Is this the same girl
from the rooftop right?
She looks stunning.
- Come here. I've a chocolate for you.
- I am coming.
Mr. Keshav.
Someday I will give her a chocolate.
Don't just stand there.
Go get my chicken.
Staring at me...
Does it take this much time?
And get some snacks.
And yes, Mr. Keshav
I'm getting a good price for your house.
Even after keeping my share,
you'll get a nice amount.
Glory to me. Glory to me.
Everyone praises this demon king.
I am not going to sell the house.
I will pay off the loan little by little.
Shut up.
My darling.
Hey darling, where are you?
What do you mean you are not coming?
Bitch, I pay you more money than he does.
You should come here.
Hello.
She hung up on me?
Mr. Keshav?
She switched off her phone.
That bitch,
who does she think she is?
Completely ruined my mood.
What am I going to do with this now?
Blow it up like a balloon.
- That wretched woman.
- Dilip sir.
Listen to me, go home and sleep.
You will feel better in the morning.
What did you say?
Why you... Want another slap?
Telling me to sleep it off.
Why you...
Come here.
I am not going to hit you.
Sorry.
I'll waive your interest.
But you have to do one thing for me.
What?
Bring her here.
I don't know where she lives.
I am not talking about her.
I mean Rama.
She is a young maiden.
And a virgin.
Shut up!
Where is this Narayan of yours?
Why is he hiding?
Father, Narayan is omnipresent.
Why you... bloody old timer!
Why you.
He resides in every element
in this universe.
He resides in every atom.
He resides in the leaves
and flowers of the trees.
Is your Narayan present in this pillar?
Yes, father.
My Narayan is in this pillar as well.
Is it?
O Lord Narayana, O Lord Narayana
O Lord Narayana, O Lord Narayana
Hey...
The long and dark night
is trembling today.
Strengthen my wrists today to fight.
The wave of destruction
has descended today.
Fight against the injustice.
Strike, take the sword.
You destroy it.
He stands strong, he breathes fire,
he eliminates the devil.
He stands strong, he breathes fire,
he eliminates the devil.
Tearing the veil of darkness,
to stop Injustice, the hero roars today.
Devmanus... Devmanus...
Devmanus... Devmanus...
Wield the staff, fight like a storm,

Tighten your wrists and break
the barriers of right and wrong..

Strike, take the sword.
You destroy it.
He is a divine power... Devmanus...
I got goose bumps
when he appeared from the pillar.
I was also scared.
But it was a lot of fun.
- Your father is waiting for you.
- Yes, bye.
- Greetings.
- Greetings.
- Come for tuition tomorrow.
- Yes. Of course.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- How was 'Dashavatar'?
- It was a lot of fun.
- Why didn't you show up?
- Come and have dinner.
Yes.
'Dashavatar' was amazing, aunty.
Yes.
Uncle should have been there.
Your uncle and his calculations.
Never ending.
He couldn't make it.
- Okay then, see you.
- Okay.
- Call me in the morning.
- Yes.
- Come on, I'm leaving
- Okay.
What is this?
Why didn't you turn up?
The event was amazing.
Aunty.
Aunty.
Aunty.
What happened?
Aunty.
Uncle.
- Open the door.
- Nothing.
She saw a rat.
- A rat.
- Keep quiet.
Okay, fine.
See you later, uncle.
Goodnight.
Wait. Wait for ten minutes.
Drop me at the bus stand.
- Okay.
- I have some work.
Take your time.
I'm waiting for you.
- You...
- Laxmi.
You killed him.
I didn't have a--
Listen to me...
I had no choice.
Uncle.
What's inside?
A dead body.
That's funny...
- Give me, I'll take it.
- No, I'll take it.
There is a veneration event
at cousin's place.
- I see.
- So I am taking these coconuts for him.
Give me your bag.
Sit, uncle.
- Uncle. 'Dashavatar' performance was amazing.
- Yes.
I got Goosebumps.
But why didn't you show up?
I was busy...
- ... busy working.
- Yes.
What is the veneration for, uncle?
- What?
- What is the veneration for?
Where?
The veneration for which you
are carrying these coconuts.
That... only he knows.
Hurry up or I will miss my bus.
I know, uncle. I'll get you there.
Look. We are here.
- See, the bus is also here.
- Stop, stop.
Should I stop here?
I'll pay you later.
No need to worry about that.
Money isn't...
But listen, should I give you a hand?
No, no. I'll have to carry it myself
once I get down at the destination.
- That's true.
- You won't be there to help me.
Are you sure?
- Yes, it's getting pretty late.
- Okay, fine.
See you later, uncle.
- Call me.
- Yes.
I will. I will.
I need to keep this luggage.
Can you give me a hand?
Can I sit?
Brother, brother, stop.
Stop the bus. I have to get off here.
Yes.
Who is it?
Is it Bapu?
No.
It's not Bapu.
It's me.
Bloody alcoholic must be
boozing somewhere again.
What is the foul stink?
Someone killed a rat in the village.
Is it?
Wait.
I..
The boss scolds me, not you guys.
Understood?
- So get this job done.
- How are you doing, sir?
- Hello, sir.
- Until the job is done...
Yes, hello.
Is Dilip sir in office?
No, Dilip sir hasn't arrived yet.
- Make sure you do that work today.
- No.
I had to pay Dilip sir
the instalment money...
Give it to me. I will give it to him.
No. I'll wait here.
I am not in a hurry.
Fine, you can wait.
Go and do your work.
You rascals will cost me
my job somedays. Wait.
Are you leaving already?
Yes. Dilip sir called.
He said he was coming over to my house
to collect the money.
The documents are all at home.
I want the receipts and all.
So he's coming over to my house.
Pull the lever down, Sanjay.
Did you try calling him?
I did, sir.
I tried calling him several times.
But the call doesn't connect.
Is this the only number he has
or does he have another number?
No, sir, he has two numbers,
but he has only one mobile phone
with two SIMs.
But that number
is also switched off.
See... this is the number.
Okay.
I'll look into it.
Mohite.
Yes, sir.
Take down her complaint.
- Yes, sir.
- And this is Dilip's other number
Put both numbers on tracking.
- Can I go, sir?
- Right away, sir.
Take.
Wow. It's good, not too spicy.
Pour some oil on it before you eat.
It tastes amazing.
See you.
- What?
- Nothing.
Uncle likes eating pickles.
So, I came to give him some.
See you later.
You...
Sit.
Seems like men in uniform
make you nervous, Mr. Keshav.
We are only conducting an investigation
and we came to ask you a few questions.
What for?
Dilip.
Mr. Dilip? What about him?
Sit.
Sit.
Did Dilip come here five days ago?
Did he meet you?
Yes, he did.
He comes here...
Often...
And bothers us.
Because I filed a complaint with you.
Okay. So you were the last person
Dilip met?
What do you mean last?
Mr. Dilip is missing.
His wife came over
to file a missing person's complaint.
We put his phone on tracking,
and your house was
the last location he visited.
So we came here to investigate.
His phone got switched off after that.
And Dilip sir disappeared.
The man who made others disappear
has disappeared himself.
Good for nothing.
And as you said,
he did come here five days ago.
He boozed and ate meat here.
Made a lot of commotion.
If I file a complaint against him,
you get irritated. So...
Sir, please.
Is aunty at home?
What for?
- For investigation purposes, Sir.
- Lord.
Not for tea.
No, no.
We won't let you go
without having tea anyway.
Not at all.
But I'll have some.
How about some toast to go with that?
Personally, I prefer rusk...
Tawde?
Sorry, sir.
No rusk.
Call her. Call aunty.
Laxmi.
Inspector Deshmukh is here.
Put some tea to boil.
Do you like ginger in your tea?
Well, she does make
a good cup of tea.
She is very talented.
No, we can see that.
Master. Leave the tea
and call aunty outside.
She's coming. She's coming.
Laxmi.
There she is.
- Come.
- Smells nice, sir.
You didn't have to give aunty trouble.
You must take a sip.
You will like it.
She puts ginger and...
What's this, aunty?
Your hands are trembling.
I am not feeling well.
Yes.
My blood pressure dropped
Because of lack of sleep.
Yes.
I went to see 'Dashavatar' play
a few days ago.
That's why.
Did you meet Dilipya?
When?
On the day of the art festival?
No, I returned home...
pretty late.
He wasn't here when I came home.
Thank God.
If you see him again
or if he comes back, then call me.
He is never going to come back now.
Meaning...
I paid off the loan.
He used to bother us for that.
For his money.
But if he does come back,
we will inform you immediately.
Yes.
Okay, see you, Sir.
- Found it.
- What?
Even if you hide it under several layers,
you can't hide it from Tawde's eyes.
Mr. Keshav,
"Apradhi Kaun"
(Who's the Culprit).
Found him.
"Apradhi Kaun. "
Can I borrow it for reading?
Yes, yes.
I've been a fan of this book
since I was a little kid.
I'll return it once I am done reading.
- Yes.
- yes.
Tawde, if you are done acting childish,
then keep the book
and let's go.
We have work to do.
- See you later, Master.
- Coming, sir.
Yes.
I will return it later.
Can I borrow it?
Yes.
- Be sure to return it on time.
- Yes.
I got Apradhi Kaun.
Sir. Wait for me.
I am coming.
Glory to Lord.
Laxmi.
Laxmi.
I know you are awake.
One can wake up a person
who is asleep,
but what to do with a person
who is pretending to be asleep.
I am presuming that you are awake
and I am sharing this with you.
Because I must.
A few days ago,
Dilip came here with
a few other people,
to lock a deal to sell our house.
At the same time,
Rama also came here
to get the box of colours,
because you had sent her here.
both of you wanted to make
some kind of "Rangoli" designs.
And Dilip noticed her.
That wretched dog.
His eyes were filled with lust.
And then
on the day of the Dashavatar.
You left and
Dilip showed up.
And just then...
Rama came here
to call me for the Dashavatar.
Dilip saw her.
And that night his mistress
did not show up.
He got restless.
He told me to go get Rama.
He wanted Rama.
OUR Rama.
tried to talk him out of it, but...
I saw an animal in him.
Animal.
It awakened the monster inside me.
I killed him.
Took his life.
I know I committed a crime, but...
I was left with no choice.
Except for killing him.
I...
tried really hard to tell you this, but
I couldn't muster the courage.
We are supposed to begin
our pilgrimage journey tomorrow.
In the morning.
In this state of mind,
I do not wish to accompany you.
Okay.
Glory to the Lord.
Pundalik Varade Hari Vitthal.
Shri Dnyandeo, Tukaram.
Glory to Pandharinath Maharaj.
Pandurang! Pandurang!
You are always in our hearts.
Pandurang! Pandurang!
We are on the pilgrimage to Pandharpur.
The only desire is to see you in person,
oh Almighty.
With every breath we chant your name
and the soul searches for You, o Saviour!
The only desire is to see you in person,
oh Almighty.
With every breath we chant your name
and the soul searches for You, o Saviour!
Listen to my call, Pandurang.
O Pandharinath,
you're the saviour of all.
Come to me, O Vitthal.
Pandurang! Pandurang!
You are always in our hearts.
Pandurang! Pandurang!
We are on the pilgrimage to Pandharpur.
Pandurang! Pandurang!
You are always in our hearts.
Pandurang! Pandurang!
We are on the pilgrimage
to Pandharpur.
Pandurang! Pandurang!
Pandurang! Pandurang!
Pandurang! Pandurang!
Pandurang! Pandurang!
Pandurang! Pandurang!
Pandurang! Pandurang!
What brings you here?
Oh yes.
I had to return this sari.
Take it.
I folded it properly.
I know he took it forcefully from you.
He is always troubling everyone.
I told him several times,
but he didn't listen to me.
I apologize on his behalf.
You don't have to apologize.
It's in the past now.
Forget it.
Do you know where he is?
No.
It's been over two weeks
and he hasn't returned home.
I also checked with his friends.
But he is not with them.
I also went to the police.
Filed a complaint.
They said he was last seen with you,
so I came to ask you.
I don't know if it was the last time.
But he did come here.
But I wasn't at home.
- My husband was.
- Yes.
Yes your husband was home.
The police told me this.
Yes.
Where is he now?
He's on a pilgrimage.
I see.
Even the police were here the other day.
They investigated.
We told them everything.
You owed him some money.
Did you pay it?
Yes.
Probably that's why
he didn't come back again.
Yeah.
See you.
Aunty,
if he calls
or even messages you,
if you find out anything.
please tell me.
Yes.
May God bless you.
Sister-in-law.
Yes, sir.
What did Laxmi Aunty say?
She said they paid off their debt.
She doesn't know anything else.
Sir,
do what it takes,
but please find him.
Sister-in-law.
Seems like aunty did not anoint you.
Because it's almost time
for the evening prayers,
that's why I asked.
That's true.
Probably slipped her mind.
Your dark and soothing image
gives solace to the soul.
Your temple is like
a sky full of happiness.
We bow our heads at your feet.
Give us the strength to fight.
You guide those
who are misled in life.
You're the friend,
philosopher and guide.
You're the Father of the universe.
At your feet we find the love
only a mother
Can shower on her children.
Please become the guiding star
and show us the path now O, Vitthala
He told me to drop him off at Keshav's place
for the recovery of his money.
So I dropped him outside Keshav's home.
Do you have his mobile phone?
No, sir.
I don't have it.
You should be completely detached
when going on a pilgrimage.
But you still seem attached
to this mortal world.
What are you worried about?
It's not worry.
It's regret.
For the crime I committed.
Speak your mind and be free of
all the regrets when you see the god.
Then this burden will be off your chest.
But why should I burden Pandurang
with the sins I committed?
He is capable of handling
everyone's burden.
What is this grave sin that's eating you up
from the inside?
The biggest sin in the world.
Taking a human life.
It happened in the heat of the moment.
I did what I thought
was the right thing to do.
For personal gains?
No.
For protecting someone.
So you did your duty.
But I am all alone now.
The one closest to me has
distanced herself.
According to her,
I have committed a grave sin.
Why are you deciding that?
When the nuisance of demons
crosses their limit,
then God Himself slays them.
But I am not God.
But the god resides in you too.
He is in me.
He is in omnipresent.
What you did was not just
an act of duty then,
but it was an act of righteousness.
But how can I forget such a grave thing?
Repentance lightens the burden of actions.
But if you repent for doing your duty,
then its merits are lost.
Your peace of mind is waiting
for you at home.
Go home without any worries.
You did not commit a murder,
You slain a demon Mr. Keshav.
How do you know.. my name...
Pandrang! Pandrang!
Pandrang! Pandrang!
We pray to you for
only one boon, O God.
That we never forget
to chant your name.
That in the whirlwind of pain.
We always get Your support.
That in the scorching heat,
we are safe in your Shadow.
You are happiness impersonated.
You are the pillar of strength,
and the foundation of life.
You are the one who will deliver
our innocent souls to heavens, O almighty Vithuraya.

60 rupees balance.
Greetings.
Greetings.
Oh, Mr. Keshav. Please come.
Take a seat.
60 rupees balance remains, it
Isn't Deshmukh sir here?
Deshmukh sir has gone to Aurangabad
to meet our senior officer.
I had something important to tell him.
Oh, is it?
You can leave.
I'll inform you later.
Leave.
Mr. Keshav, you can tell me.
When he is not available
I only find out "who the culprit is. "
As you know,
no criminal can ever escape from
the clutches of Tawde.
It's me.
It's me.
It's me?
That's not how it is.
"That's not me",
is how you should say it.
I killed Dilip.
You killed Dilip?
Yes.
How?
Did you stab him?
Gut him?
Or burn him?
No, you won't burn him.
You will first kill him
and then burn him.
But you won't burn him at home.
First, you will chop him to pieces,
and burn him someplace outside.
What weapon did you use?
Knife, axe or clever?
How?
Axe.
Axe.
Bravo, Bravo.
Please, sir, take a seat. Come, sit.
How about some tea?
Get two cups of tea.
Sit. Sit.
Tell me everything in detail.
I will write everything
down word for word.
You see, the winner of this year's
story writing competition
for the annual police diary
is going to be me.
Tell me.
I did kill Dilip trust me.
It will be an awesome story.
Imagine this.
A virtuous teacher,
and a goon from the village.
Murder mystery.
Sounds amazing.
It's a hit story.
It means,
if you're not going to get angry.
I would like to say something.
You are not Mr. Keshav.
You are gangster Keshav.
Sorry, now continue.
What happened next?
It's an amazing story.
Can you return
the book of 'Apradhi Kaun'
which you borrowed.
I feel bored at home.
Brother, did you come here
for the book?
Wait.
I'll give it.
In the next edition,
my story will be published.
What is this?
You returned home before time?
Yes. I left it in between.
Wait here.
I went to the police station.
And?
And nothing.
They thought I was making up
some kind of a fictitious story.
The police aren't ready to believe
that I can kill someone.
Me neither.
Actually... I also wasn't feeling good.
Means...
I don't regret my action,
but Panduranga says
I must atone for it.
And that's what you wanted.
Yes, I did.
But back then I didn't realize
that if you hadn't killed him,
then what would have
happened to our Rama.
- Make preparations.
- Tawde.
- Sir.
- How were the last couple of days?
Anything special?
Sir, the story I wrote
won the first prize.
Great.
Five thousand rupees cash
and this trophy.
And...
Give here.
I am throwing this small party.
Can I get some tea for now?
Of course, sir.
Pintya, over here.
Hold this.
Some tea for sir.
Okay.
Not for me. Go.
You should also narrate
your story.
I mean, how you left
that high posting in Pune
and came here to waste your...
I mean your story about how you
got yourself transferred here.
I'll tell you about
my story some other day.
Peacefully.
First, tell me.
What story did you write?
Or did you steal it
from Keshav Rao's book?
Sir, not from the book,
but rather his mind.
When you were not here,
Keshav Rao came here.
From the pilgrimage,
straight to the police station.
He told me that he killed Dilip.
Then?
Then what, sir?
He is a man of faith.
I said to him...
Culprits will only be found in your house
in the magazines.
Take that crime story collection
of yours and go home.
sit, and keep sticking clippings in it.
And soon my story will be
published.
Cut that too and stick it.
Sir, my story got published.
Are you stupid or what?
You set a criminal free,
who had come to confess his crime?
Sir,
do you really believe
that he's the killer?
A killer is someone who looks terrifying.
He should be scary, right?
He is a man of faith Sir, I told you.
Why are you digging deep into it?
Tawde,
if we don't dig deep
into solving this case now,
later you will be sitting at home
after your suspension
Telling these stories to your children.
And make those five thousand rupees
cash prize
last a lifetime.
No, sir.
We need Keshav right now.
Forget about partying.
Let's go.
Tawde!
Listen, your supper.
Keshav.
Come out.
Wait.
Yes.
Hello.
Hello.
Let's go.
Where?
Get down.
Do you think you are some VIP?
Keep going.
How many times do I have
to ask you for the money?
Get lost.
Stand in the line.
Don't show your face again.
What are you looking at?
Stand here.
Next. Next.
- Hurry up.
- What?
Come on, get up.
I said get up.
And hurry up.
Give.
Get lost.
This is the fourth house of the day...
Dada Saheb.
The teacher is here.
He owes money to Dilip.
When are you returning the money?
What money?
Listen Sir, I have slapped
fifteen people till now.
My palms are tingling now.
That's the reason you are still standing.
How much does he owe?
How much?
Five lakhs thirty thousand.
Five lakhs thirty thousand.
Return it in two days.
Understood?
Now leave.
Five lakhs thirty thousand.
The amount I owed Mr. Dilip?
I paid him back.
He was there in the factory that day.
I had brought the money with me,
but then Mr. Dilip called and he said
he will collect the money
from my house.
Don't give the money to them.
He was there.
Is he telling the truth?
Yes, Dada Saheb.
He did come that day.
And he was also carrying
a bag of money.
But when I was about to take him
to the office to register
Dilip called him.
Was the phone on speaker?
Did you hear
or see for yourself?
Bravo.
So, this is it.
You see Sir,
even though Dilpya lent you the money,
it was my money.
Either you bring my money
in two days
or find Dilpya.
- Where will I find Dilpya...
- That's your problem.
And if you can't do that...
Give it.
What will I do with this?
This lock.
Lock your house
and give me the keys.
Understood?
Now leave.
Go on. Go on.
If This man brings the money
by tomorrow,
I will keep the money make an entry in the books
and call you immediately, Dada Saheb.
And I will immediately kick your ass.
But, Dada Saheb,
don't you want the money?
I don't want his money.
Then?
I want his piece of land.
It's that same piece
of land right?
Yes.
The one More sir showed us
in the plan.
Yes.
The national highway
will be constructed right through his fields.
Ten acres for five lakhs.
It's not a bad deal, is it?
Not at all, Dada Saheb.
But find that Dilpya anyway.
No one knows how many he has conned
And for how much.
Don't wait for the police.
Put our men to work.
- I will.
- Sir, I...
What is it?
Sir, I am the driver.
You have a neat handwriting.
Bravo.
Do you understand
whatever your teacher teaches you?
Oh. Your teacher.
What brings you here?
You knew I would show
up at your doorstep someday, right Sir?
Did you give him tea?
With some ginger, like the other day.
I don't accept anything
from criminals, Sir.
Then you shouldn't have a problem
having tea here.
Sir, send the children home.
I don't want to disrespect
their teacher in front of them.
I don't understand
what you are trying to say.
Do you accept your crime
or should I make you accept it?
Crime? What crime?
Don't try to be...
Children, class is over.
Take the rest of the day off.
- Go home. Go.
- See you tomorrow.
- Go on, children.
- Go on.
- See you in the evening.
- Now go.
Everyone is nice and focused.
Leave.
Go.
So, Sir.
Every year both of you go on
a pilgrim journey without fail.
Yes.
This year you went alone.
In fact,
you even returned home halfway.
And headed straight
to the police station.
Why?
He borrowed my book to read.
'Apradhi Kaun'.
You were there that day.
I went there to get that.
But didn't you tell me
that you killed Dilpya?
I didn't mean that I killed him.
Didn't you say that
I killed Dilip first,
chopped him to pieces,
using an axe
and later burnt his body.
Because you wanted to compete
in some story competition.
Yes.
It won first prize.
Sorry, sir.
Sir.
Why did you kill Dilpya?
Inspector,
look at him.
Will anyone believe that
he's capable of killing someone?
I think it's that mistress of his...
He must have eloped with her.
Don't try to act smart with me, Sir.
Absolutely not.
That criminals might be getting free
in 'Apradhi Kaun', your book.
but not a single killer
has escaped from my clutches.
I know you murdered Dilipya.
Sir,
May it be the book or the real world,
one needs evidence.
Aunty?
Of course.
Next time,
I will bring all the evidence
with me.
Full proof.
What did you do with the phone?
- What phone?
- Dilipya's phone?
What did you do with it?
Or did you burn it along with his body?
Why are you asking me questions
as if I am a criminal?
Do you want to play cops
and robbers, Sir?
Okay, fine.
Let's both play the game.
But remember,
I have always won this game.
See you.
What was that?
- Sir.
- Yes.
Can I click a picture?
Look here.
See,
Now, when I will win, Sir,
this picture of yours will feature
on the front page of the newspaper.
Killer Teacher.
With proof, aunty.
See you.
Phone?
What?
What are you thinking?
That Deshmukh...
Why was he so desperate
to find the phone?
I was wondering whether
Dilip dropped his phone here.
That day when he came here, he...
- Listen...
- What?
What?
Phone?
You had it.
I found it the other day
while cleaning up the house.
And you didn't tell me.
It totally slipped my mind.
I forgot to tell you.
Okay, see you.
Glory to Lord.
Pray for something substantial aunty.
Pray for your husband's wellbeing
Sir,
God has blessed
us with everything we need.
The only thing we now ask
for is peace of mind.
You will get that in abundance
in jail.
Peace.
Is it?
But, what brings you here, sir?
I...
came to get this printout.
These criminals were admitted
to the hospital.
See.
They were not giving
us the information we wanted.
So we had to use our police methods.
See.
Honestly, aunty,
There is nothing personal here.
If you tell me everything honestly...
Honestly...
Then and only then,
can I help you and Mr. Keshav.
Mr. Keshav is a very decent man.
The facts that you are trying to find,
And the dots you are trying to connect,
you will never succeed in that.
Because,
this time His will is involved.
He has our back.
Like a pillar.
May I leave?
It's getting late to go home.
And yes.
You should also pray to god
for something substantial.
Which will benefit you.
Even people like us need people like you.
Think carefully.
Did you hear any weird sounds
Or smell something strange
from the teacher's house?
No, sir.
He's a gentleman.
Him and his wife Laxmi.
They are truly resemble the pair
of lord Vitthal and goddess Rukmini.
- Please, come inside.
- Let it be, not now.
- Have you seen Dilip?
- No.
It's been so peaceful for
the last few days.
Thank god
Hey.
Stop.
Wow.
I am so lucky to have you
in my rickshaw, sir
Why?
Do you only cater to Mr. Keshav?
Not other passengers?
Not at all.
You see, Everyone is welcome
in our rickshaw.
Keshav sir is a godman.
Though I am a rickshaw driver,
he gives me so much respect.
Treats me with love.
Madhav, his son.
We both studied in the same class.
I see.
If they need anything...
anything at all, be it day or night,
I am at their service 24/7.
He calls me directly.
Where were you
on the night of 5th June?
Sir, if my memory was that sharp,
wouldn't I be doing your job?
Alright. Let me jog your memory.
5th June was the day of the art festival.
Yes, sir.
That day I took aunty
to watch 'Dasavatar'.
What a tremendous
performance that was, sir.
And?
And I took her home afterwards.
And dropped her.
- And then?
- And then...
Oh yes, Keshav sir told me to wait.
He asked me to drop him
at the bus stand.
And then?
What else?
I dropped him at the bus stand.
See. This is where we stopped.
Leave.
See you, sir.
Bapu?
Do you stay here?
I stay here. I stay there.
I stay anywhere I wish.
Do you wish to stay in jail someday?
I am the police.
Do you stay here alone
or is there anyone else?
Bapu comes to visit once in a while.
But one night Bapu did not turn up.
Some strange guy showed up
and burnt some garbage here.
It had a bad stench.
He said he had killed many rats.
Did you see his face?
How could I see his face?
Please wait.
I am telling you he will be here soon.
- Hurry up.
- He will be here soon.
Wait.
What are you doing? Wait.
- Wait... Look he is here.
- Look for gold and other valuables and take it.
- Stop.
- Take everything.
- Hey. What's going on here?
- hey...
You were supposed
to pay up in two days.
But I paid the money to that Dilip.
- When did you pay him?
- Go ask him.
- Hey...
You...
Hey... don't you dare hit me.
Acting smart ha? Keshav?
I gave the money to Dilipya.
Mr. Dilip to straight Dilipya?
I gave him the money.
Are you going to dictate
what I should do?
Am I your wife to obey you?
- Don't drag my wife in this.
- Then listen to me carefully.
This house and this land now
belong to me.
- This is mine.
- Take your stuff
and your wife and get lost.
Get out.
Lock the house.
Already that Dilpya has given me
so much trouble find him.
Come on.
Hey...
Hey...
Hey...
Listen...
Keshav Sir?
That Jedhe left you
in such a sorry state.
He dragged you onto the streets.
Sit Keshav Sir,
Sit.
But don't worry at all now.
I've found a really nice place
for you to stay.
A few days in lock-up,
then straight to jail.
And, this time I am speaking
on the basis of evidence, aunty.
I found the bus, Sir.
I found the bus stop where you got off.
And the location
where you burnt Dilipya's body.
And the old man as well.
Two things I haven't found yet.
One is the murder weapon.
- And second...
- Dilipya's mobile.
I know now why you were struggling
So much to find it.
Yes.
I saw the video.
But I didn't tell anyone.
Dilipya is a wretched human being.
By now you also must have realised
how crooked Dilpya was.
The other day,
Dilipya came to my house at night.
Laxmi had gone
to watch 'Dasavatar' play.
Rama came there
to ask when am I coming.
And that Dilipya
he began lusting over her.
I got angry.
Yes.
It was natural to get angry.
What if I had given Dilipya's phone
to someone?
I don't have to tell you
about the consequences.
But I... didn't give it to anyone.
I still have the murder weapon
and the mobile.
I will give it to you.
Let's go.
Where?
Police station?
And you must arrest me as well.
Because, for the last forty years,
excluding the pilgrim journey this year,
I've never been without him.
Be it joy or sorrow,
we have never left each other's side.
Had I been in his place,
I would have also killed Dilip.
Because what he did is a crime,
but not a sin.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
You stay at home for few days.
The house...
I...
I am now disgusted
by his sheer gaze, Ravi.
What's the point of speaking
about it now?
The other day you only asked.
"How are you, sister-in-law?"
And I responded with a smile.
And look what he did to me.
Does it hurt?
I am sorry.
My fate was against me.
When I went back to the village,
I learnt that you got married
in this village.
That's why I got myself transferred here.
And here the situation I had
to face was entirely different.
He walks around wearing white s.
But that devil's hands
are smeared in filth.
I will not spare him.
Do you understand?
I am not going to tell you again.
Hey, Deshmukh?
Why do you keep coming
to my house often?
I didn't come here to have tea and chat.
I have come to raid your house.
Search warrant.
- Hey...
- Hey...
Come on.
Start searching.
- Come on.
- Make the call.
Check over there.
Damn, why is he not picking up the call?
Come on, Dada Saheb.
Do you know
who you are messing with?
If our pet dog starts acting crazy,
we put a bullet in its head.
Hey, Dada Saheb.
Fire a bullet or gut someone,
But a murder is a murder.
You murdered Dilipya.
And we have found evidence
in your house.
Now before putting you in jail to rot,
I will teach you a lesson in my style,
Otherwise I will change my name.
- Come on.
- Hey...
Deshmukh.
- Let's go, Dada Saheb.
- You will have to pay for this.
Get him in.
Don't touch me.
Let's go.
- No, it's not there. Look, it's here.
- Okay.
This will be.
Yes, we found it.
Give me the pen.
What? What are you thinking?
Laxmi.
Our home will be lively again.
True. I am also very happy about it.
I am eagerly waiting for that day.
Who is calling?
YOUR... dear son.
I see. MINE?
OURS.
Pick it up.
I have no interest in speaking with him.
Wait. Don't hang up.
Give me.
Hello, mother.
Hello, Madhav.
How come you called us today?
Why?
Why wouldn't I?
I am always worried for you.
Worried.
For us?
- What do you mean?
- How come?
About your health.
What about the debt?
Did you pay it off?
Yes. It's been paid off.
I see.
What price did you fetch
for the house?
Not at all.
We didn't have to sell it at all.
I see. And still paid off the loan.
Can I hang up now?
Mother.
There's a really nice place
available out here.
It's a fantastic deal.
But it won't last longer.
See...
If you can sell this house
and get a smaller place,
you can give me that money.
No, Madhav.
You earn in dollars.
- You can easily buy that house.
- But, mother...
And we can't sell our house.
What do you mean?
- It's not ours anymore.
- Meaning.
We have given it to an orphanage.
Orphanage.
Very nice people.
- They do good work.
- What?
And we're going
to stay here with them.
And help them.
What are you saying, mother?
I am hanging up now, Madhav.
- I am busy.
- But, listen to me mother.
- I'll call you back.
- I was saying...
What are you looking at?
You hung up.
On your son?
I hung up on him.
You are amazing.
