Hello
Greetings, sir.
Yeah Sharanappa, tell me.
Sir, theres been a
murder at MM Lodge.
Okay,
Im on my way.
[-Okay sir.]
Hmm.
Sir,
You wont even let me celebrate
my daughter's birthday!
Sorry, sir.
Where's the crime scene?
On the top floor, sir.
This lodge looks really old.
It's the oldest in this area, sir.
Let's go up, sir.
The murder took place between
9 and 10 pm last night.
This way, sir.
We have detained four suspects
in connection with the case.
We'll get more details during investigation.
Right now, they claim they're innocent.
This is the room.
Good morning, sir.
Good morning, sir.
Get his signature after inspection.
Okay, sir.
Morning, sir.
Sir.
-Sir.
Sir, her name is Devika.
She's a sex worker.
And was here on work last night.
But was murdered.
If they dont get a woman to
satiate their lust, they rape.
And kill the same woman who fulfills their desire.
How sad.
She chose this job for
survival, but ended up dead.
-Don't miss out on any evidence.
-Yes sir.
Follow the procedure.
-Okay, sir.
What about her family?
We will get on that job now, sir.
Okay.
Begin with the enquiry of the accused.
Ill come to the
station in an hour.
Okay, sir.
Sir!
Send the body for postmortem.
-Okay, sir.
"There's no one to call
your own, it's a weird world"
"There's no one to call your
own, it's a weird world"
"Life is but an iilusion!"
"There's no one to call
your own, it's a weird world"
Good morning, sir.
Sir.
-Sir.
Namaste, sir.
Namaskara, sir.
Sir.
-Sir.
Let me go, sir!
Good morning, sir.
Good morning, sir.
Sir, I didn't murder anyone!
I swear, I didn't do it, sir!
[GRUNTS] Sir!
Stop faking it now!
Enough with your act!
Please don't hit me!
Sir, the boss is here.
Thrash them to pulp!
-Okay sir.
Please don't hit me, sir!
Despite repeated thrashing,
they're denying the murder.
Fine. Bring them in.
Pratap.
Sir.
Go and interrogate that guy, Cartoon.
Okay, sir.
Did they confess?
Sir, not at all.
The boss will handle it now.
Move it!
-Will he beat us up too?
-No way, he'll offer you kisses!
Idiot!
[-Now tell the boss the same
thing that you shared with us.]
Alright, sir!
Okay sir.
-Be off.
Go, damn it!
Namaste, sir.
-Come quickly.
Coming, sir.
Tell the boss everything
that you told us before.
Okay sir.
Sir!
Didn't you say there were four suspects?
Yes, sir.
One of them is quite old.
He fainted from watching
them being thrashed.
Our constables have
taken him to the hospital.
They will bring him once he's better.
Sir, this is Mamu.
Alias Maranahalli Muniswamy.
He brought the
victim to the lodge.
This is Kamal.
He claims to be a film director.
He was with the
victim till the end.
This is Kariya. Alias Cartoon.
He is the manager
and owner of that lodge.
No sir!
He claims that
Mamu, Kamal, and the ATM security
guard were fighting in the victim's room.
It was he who informed
us about the murder.
Come here.
Whats the name of your lodge?
MM Lodge, sir.
What does MM stand for?
Mysore Mallige Lodge, sir.
You name it after a flower
and run a sex racket?
No, sir.
And that too, within my jurisdiction!
Sir, it's a local lodge.
Some come there to
booze, others come to gamble
while others come to seek pleasure.
But they all walk out creating trouble.
Even with CCTV, they rip
out the wires and walk off.
And you just sit quietly
and watch them do it?
Now tell me who is
responsible for this murder?
Mamu, sir.
[What!]
[You ae!]
[This guy is unbelievable!]
[He's setting me up!]
It was Mamu who
brought her to the lodge.
I remained at the reception
counter the whole time.
I swear on my mother, I have
nothing to do with this murder.
Please believe me, sir!
Okay, stay outside.
-Yes, sir.
Is there a problem with your leg?
I'm fine now, sir.
Then why are you limping?
It's because your men
thrashed me into pulp, sir.
And if lie to us, we'll ensure
you limp for the rest of your life.
No sir. I will speak the
truth now and always.
What do you do for a living?
I do match fixing for men who are desperate
and women who're in need of money!
Just say you're a broker.
Don't complicate it.
Yes, exactly sir.
I'm helpless sir.
My previous job didn't last long.
And I had to find a way to carry on.
I grew up surrounded by comfort.
So I'm not used to
any kind of hard work.
And then I met a
girl in Kalasipalya.
And it's continued from there!
How long have you known the victim?
Sir, I met her last
morning at the market.
And by evening she was killed.
Why did you kill her?
I swear on my mum,
it wasnt me, sir.
It's the director who did it sir.
Sir!
Hes the one who did it, sir.
Not at all sir!
He's faking it, sir,
Don't trust him.
He's a good actor!
Sir,
He's had a go at her
six times like a raging bull, sir.
Sir!
Just slap him hard and
he will spill the beans!
Oh my lord!
Damn!
But why sir?
I asked you about her.
Just stick to the question.
Damn, no clients in sight!
Is your piles cured?
No, Mamu!
Im under treatment.
It will take some time.
If you're this desperate, don't
expect to be cured easily!
No, Mamu!
You haven't found
any girl for the night yet?
Looks like those
girls won't do either.
Lovely?
-No.
Jolly?
-Nope.
Pinky?
Nikki.
She's trending in the
market at Rs 4000 an hour!
I want someone who can
perform in different angles.
Different, huh? I pity those girls dude!
Why?
Don't they get paid?
And don't you get your commission?
If you want money,
you must work hard for it.
Will this girl do?
-No mamu.
Mamu.
-Huh?
Remember the girl
you sent last week?
Dimple?
-Yes, Dimple.
Send Dimple. Shes amazing!
But shes gone to
Sakleshpur for three days!
Let her return. Ill wait until then.
Okay, Ill call her.
Dont forget.
-Be off now.
Yes leave.
I wonder who she is!
I can tell she belongs to my trade!
Let me check her out.
Wait dude!
Hello Kamali, I've quoted
three thousand rupees an hour.
The client saw your
photo and has approved.
Ill fix the match in an hour.
Ill inform you the time. Bye.
One minute.
Huh?
I've figured who you
are from your behaviour.
If Kamali gets three thousand,
how much will I fetch?
By merely looking at your
body, I can judge who you are.
I can clearly tell you're
familiar with my profession!
I just own the showroom.
And various customers like to visit it.
My job is to bring them in.
So tell me your price.
Seventy thousand.
What!
How can you quote Wi-Fi
rates in a no-signal zone?
This isnt Brigade Road or
MG Road. Its City Market!
Here they only pay two or
three thousand rupees an hour.
Seventy thousand is my final price.
This rate won't work
for either of us. Forget it.
Even if you fetch me Rs 25,000
from three clients, I'm good.
Are you baiting me or
trying to cast an entire net?
Im quoting my price.
I haven't seen you around.
Where were you operating before this?
Thats not your concern.
After a while,
you might agree to seven
clients at 10,000 bucks each!
I am fine with seven clients.
[She's strange!]
[I can't figure this one out!]
Can you do it or not?
I'll arrange for it.
I have premium clients.
If I share your pictures on
whatsapp, they will be here in a jiffy!
But...
they will torture you not just physically,
but also mentally. Is that fine?
I'm okay with it.
But, it's strictly one hour per client.
Alright then.
I'll set it up.
When will you report for duty?
Right now.
Huh?
Okay, come along.
Lets go to my palace.
Hey Mamu.
-Hey, Suleman.
Hey Cartoon, give me the palace keys.
Give the room key, idiot!
Who is this hot chick, mamu?
Shut up and watch your phone.
Damn you!
Come my dear.
Hello drunkard! Started early today, huh?
Oh c'mmon!
A new find huh?
Whats her rate?
Ten thousand per hour.
Interested?
Get lose now!
Damn!
I can buy drinks for
a week for that price.
[Moaning heard in the background]
Yikes!
Oh no!
Even dogs have better sense of privacy.
Have the decency to close the door!
Uncouth fools!
Bolt it now.
Come in.
Come.
.
Hows my palace!
Vibrant and colourful, huh?
Ever been in a room like this?
No chance.
Everyone who comes here
prefers to turn the lights off.
Im the only one to turn them on!
And everyday,
new heroes and heroines
love to roll on this bed.
It's when they roll, that
money comes rolling to me!
Along with the body, even the
soul should be satisfied isn't it?
Hence, this setup.
So, how's my palace?
I hope there are no cameras.
Oh c'mmon!
This lodge is literally falling apart!
You really think we'll have cameras here?
Dont worry.
This may be a dirty business,
but my heart is clean.
This right here, is a bar.
This will cost extra.
If someone has a drink,
just inform me.
Ill ensure he pays up. Okay?
Whats your name?
Devika.
Seems like the name of a goddess.
Lucky are those who get to worship you!
Go stand there.
I have to click some photos.
But why!
Nobody will pay without
seeing your face first.
I will upload your photo on our group.
If they like you, they'll come here.
Don't be scared. Go on, pose.
Go stand there.
Turn around.
Smile!
Very good.
.
Turn this way.
Smile!
Okay.
Now look at the camera.
Give a big smile!
Super.
.
Thats enough.
The bathrooms over there.
There's soap inside if you want to shower.
You can freshen up and rest.
When a client calls,
Ill let you know.
Okay?
Here in the first drawer,
I've placed the safety kit.
If the client hasn't carried it,
you can use this.
Enjoy and be respectful.
Okay?
Lock the door now.
I have some conditions.
Tell me.
It's...
No cash. Only UPI.
The payment must be credited
before the client arrives.
Only one hour per client.
No clients after 9 pm.
I've work to attend to after that.
You're already booked by
someone else after that?
Youre a star player!
Okay.
To me, customer is the king.
Keep them happy.
And dont create trouble.
Now give me your number.
You are fancy.
Your phone number is fancy, too!
Good luck.
.
Lock the door.
Come.
Ill call you. Okay?
Hey!
-Huh?
Why do you always watch
cartoons like a school kid?
It's a lot of fun, mamu...
Everyone has their own idea of fun!
Who's that hot chick?
-And what's her rate?
Ten thousand an hour.
Would you like to go?
Damn! Ten thousand for a ten-minute job?
No thanks!
Now shut up and type what
I tell you below this photo.
Tell me.
Apply conditions.
Apply conditions.
One hour 10,000.
Mamus commission 2,000.
No cash. Only UPI.
Offer closes by 9 PM.
Mamus call urgently.
What crappy English!
Hey, I studied in an
English medium school.
The teacher didn't know English.
Thats why I quit school.
Girls, are you happy?
, ?
Yes!
!
Ah, this guy is here too.
Hi Mams! Whats up?
Whats this, Jeevan?
Youre running around with two women?
Yes, Mams.
I'm so tired. Heavy workout, Mams.
When you have to strip
anyway, why bother dressing up?
Its my lifestyle, Mams!
.
Lifestyle!
-Alright.
Theres a new girl.
Would you like to see her?
I can't! I'm completely drained.
Okay, go.
Lets go, babes.
This is exactly what happened, sir.
Then his friend Hari called me.
He saw Devika's photo and approved of her.
He then told me that he has
a friend who's a director,
who wants to spend time with her.
Hari told me his friend is a
virgin and I must take care of him.
I mistook him to be a newbie, too.
But he's not.
This guy went into the room during day.
He didn't come out of the room until night.
Even after she died, he
continued being in the room.
He was running the whole show.
You enquire in your trademark style, sir.
Hell spill out the truth.
Come here.
The boss is calling you, come.
Sir.
Youre quite the player, huh?
Are you a director?
Yes, sir.
Do you direct porn films?
Sir, Ill tell you everything as is, sir.
It's true that I went to her
on the advice of my friend.
But I have nothing
to do with her murder.
Hes trying to frame me, sir!
Why would he frame you?
Sir, after I left,
six other clients of his went into the room.
But he's only naming
me and not the others,
as he wants me to
be framed in this case.
What?
He had six other clients too sir.
Hey rascal!
You killed her, but are now
blaming everyone else?
Theyre all premium clients.
You think the boss is
a fool to believe you?
Isn't it, sir?
Why did you slap me again, sir?
Six people?
Sorry sir!
I just found about it too.
Go on.
Take them and bring the others.
Hey you,
Trouble maker!
I'll beat you up!
No sir!
-Come now.
How dare you hide things from us!
Note down everything
he says. Don't miss a word.
Continue.
What should I say, sir?
You think you're smart, huh?
I took her number from my friend
and went to the lodge, sir.
Hari, I received the money.
I will handle the rest.
[Okay, mamu].
So when will you become a hero?
[Stop pulling my leg, mamu.]
[It's okay.]
[All stars are struggling]
Hold on a second.
Your director friend is calling.
[Okay, mamu.]
Hello.
I am Kamal. I got your
number from Hari.
The film director?
-Yes.
Where are you?
-I am in front of the lodge.
I too am near MM Lodge.
Is it?
Where are you, sir?
Raise your left hand.
Turn right.
I did.
Now do the Suryanamaskar!
Are you joking?
Not at all.
Just turn around, mister.
Come here!
Are you the director?
Yes.
Hari has told me
everything about you.
I heard you were depressed.
Yes.
This place is meant for guys like you.
If the mind has to feel fresh,
first the body must be refreshed.
So regular calibration is needed!
I have to make a call.
-Alright.
Hello.
Devika, I've credited the money.
Did you get it?
I did.
A client is here.
I will send him.
He's new to this.
Please handle him with
care and make him happy!
Alright.
[Okay, bye.]
Did you get the helmet?
My art director took the
helmet along with the bike.
I don't mean the kind
of helmet worn on the head.
Helmet to cover your bat!
I don't know to play cricket.
Damn!
I had heard a man must have life
experience to become a director.
But you seem like a kid
who's just started out!
A silent snake is more dangerous
than a donkey that brays, sir.
Okay.
Room no 501
Tell her mamu sent you.
You will be well taken care of.
Go on.
-See you.
Hmm.
This guy is quite sharp!
The silent ones are the most deadly.
I must be careful.
Bro, where's 501?
Have fun. Enjoy!
[You can't step out of the
room for two days, okay?]
What?
[All you need is right here.]
Two days for the two
thousand bucks you paid?
Shut up and pay the balance!
Who the hell is this guy!
Mamu--
Mamu, sent me.
Come.
Don't you know how
to close the door?
Sorry, Ill do it.
This room is so colourful.
Who is its art director?
What do you mean?
I mean who decorated this room?
The owner.
You look prettier in
person than in photos.
You could have been a heroine.
Mister,
finish what you've come for and leave.
I swear, I'm not lying.
If you walk in wearing a sari,
Ashika, Rashmika, Rachita, Leela
will look pale in comparison to you.
There's pain behind that smile.
Isn't it?
Is that so?
And how do you know?
I started out as
a dubbing artiste.
I need seventy thousand rupees.
Ill return it with interest.
Can you help?
I dont even have seven hundred bucks.
And you're talking about seventy thousand!
Then finish your job and go.
Dont bother me with your nonsense.
I didnt come here for the obvious.
Then what did you come for?
Ive suffered a lot in life.
And I have no family or relatives.
Thats why I came to
share my pain with you.
Listen,
I dont like to hear people's problems.
You're running out of
time. Don't waste it.
Fine. Ill ask for a refund and leave.
But you will have to put up with
both physical and mental torture.
Are you okay with it?
One minute.
Is storytelling your only job?
And you want me to listen?
Okay, go on.
Whats your name?
Why do you need to know
my name to narrate your story?
How can I share my story
without knowing your name?
Devika
Devika.
One moment.
Miss Devika,
At the outset, let me tell you
that I'm a director and producer.
I began directing a low budget
film with a fabulous story.
Guess who the heroine was?
My lover.
The hero was my enemy.
I had read that one must
keep their enemies close.
So I cast him as a hero.
I completed the film
and released it too.
First show was house full.
The second show was
a blockbuster flop!
During this painful time, my
lover fell in love with my enemy.
What was the name of your film?
"Odagana Ba." (let's elope)
I had planned a sequel, too.
It made me feel hopeless in life.
And I decided to commit suicide.
Will you listen to my suicide story?
Youll melt like a candle.
Fine, tell me.
So...
I don't care if your
film was a hit or flop.
Im giving you three days.
Settle the twenty lakhs I loaned you.
If not, I will have to
become the villain in your life!
Keep that in mind.
Come on boys.
I feel really sad to tell you
that you owe me three lakhs.
So?
So, I'll keep this camera.
Once you pay up, Ill return it.
I have the same dialogue.
But you owe me only two lakhs.
So until you settle my payment,
Go on.
Ill keep your
laptop and your bike.
What about you assistant?
You owe me dues, too sir.
So?
Hey rascal...
-Sir?
You'll become a director soon.
Of course sir.
But not a flop director
like you. I'll be a hit!
Damn you!
'Electric shock kills two'
Damn!
My plans have flopped just like my film.
What's up mister flop show!
All dressed up early in the morning?
Shah Rukh Khan watched
my film and liked it.
He wants a narration.
I'm headed there.
I went to narrate a story...
-Hold on a moment.
Hello.
Is the director done?
No, he's narrating a story.
What! A story?
Has he mistaken you to be a producer!
When will he finish? And when do
I send the next customer?
You send the customer,
Ill send him out.
Alright.
Ive got another
customer coming.
I have paid ten thousand rupees.
What you heard was not even
worth two thousand rupees.
Everyone wants to hurt me.
And now you are doing the same.
How am I hurting you?
I just said I don't have the
time to listen to your story.
I'll come when you wait for the next customer.
After that, Ive
got someone else.
So I'll narrate my story once they leave.
Okay fine.
Miss Devika.
Thanks a lot.
Youve got a big
What?
Heart.
He seems okay.
But a little off in the head.
Miss Devika.
Ill leave my bag
here. Anyhow Ill be back.
Take it.
This won't do. I'm not here to selll peanuts.
Mamu, try and understand the
struggles of young boys.
[Looks like nothing
happened between them]
One glass of tea.
Come tomorrow, Simple will be back.
Give me a cigarette.
Okay, Mamu.
What's up sir?
Take.
You claimed to be a dangerous snake!
And having found a snake charmer,
the dangerous one lost his bite?
You don't understand my problem.
Yet here you are making fun of me.
First time isn't it?
All men go through it.
Some have starting trouble.
Others have climax trouble.
Next time, well make it work.
My catalogue has the best-looking girls.
Once that guy comes
out, I'll go in again.
It's ten thousand per hour.
You got an opportunity to play,
but got ducked out instead.
I can give another chance
for a second innings.
But will she agree?
Dont worry. Ive
already convinced her.
I thought you were innocent.
But you're quite the opposite!
Once I came out, Mamu,
sent someone else in.
Hello,
Daddy, where are you?
Working, my dear.
Be home by 7 pm. My
friends are coming. Okay?
Sure my dear.
Dont be late because
of your work.
Okay.
I wont be late.
I'll be there.
Okay bye.
Bye.
So is he mister big shot?
-Yes, sir.
There's a miss big shot, too?
Not bad. You've managed
to catch them so fast.
The news of the murder isn't out yet.
They were all at home,
so we caught them easily.
But two others are missing.
Their phones are switched off.
Our crime team is on the job.
They will find them soon.
Inspector, I was in
the midst of a Kali puja.
Your constable brought us here.
If you come straight to
the point, I can go back to my puja.
[Kariswamy is acting a little too smart.
The inspector will show him soon enough.]
Who is this joker!
Inspector!
Dont underestimate me.
.
With my divine powers,
I can turn you into a monkey.
Do it!
-He's manhandling me!
Look, don't--
-Hey!
Now tell us why you
committed the murder.
Murder? And me?
Shantam Paapam (Let evil be averted)
With my divine powers,
just wait to see how I'll destroy you!
Goddess Kali!
Come to me!
-Give it here.
These people are
hurting your devotee.
Descend on earth.
-[He's done for.]
-[Chants a mantra]
Will you turn us into monkeys?
And you call me a PC!
How dare you threaten us!
Go on!
No lathi, please! Let me go now.
Sharanappa.
-Sir.
Escort him and give
a royal treatment.
Let's go.
No Swami.
You got me here in a jeep.
send me back the same way.
I don't need royal treatment!
Fine.
Spit out the truth.
Sir,
It was a cold morning.
Terribly cold.
And I received a text on my phone.
It was from our social worker, Mamu.
[Why is he mentioning my name?]
Our hands remain intact because of him.
He sent me a photo
of a beautiful woman!
The moment I saw her,
I got tempted, swami!
Slow down!
The minute Mamu sends
a photo, he gets ready!
You've seen so many women.
So calm down boy!
Relax now. Good boy!
The notes are smelling crisp!
Is it exorcism or witch craft?
Hey Mamu,
why are you bothered?
Ive paid you the money.
Tell me if the honey is ready.
Im in the mood for a honeymoon.
Don't ask me more questions.
Have you brought milk and fruits?
I've brought halwa, Mamu.
-Halwa?
Theres more energy
in halwa than in any fruit.
Want a bite?
No thanks!
You are here to suck
honey from the flower.
Retain that energy!
Go and enjoy!
Hello
Hello...
Hello...
Woah!
My heart has been pierced!
My heart has gone crazy!
Wow what a beauty!
Sexier than a
Kashmiri and Ooty apple!
Where was this doll
hiding all this while?
Huh? On earth!
Hey, Brahma!
Why did you hide this damsel from me?
Why?
You scoundrel!
Enough with your flattery.
Finish your job and leave.
Darling!
Do not hurry. Did you get tempted
by looking at my personality?
Take this.
Whats that?
New clothes.
I dont need them.
But I do.
I desire to see this damsel
transform into a doll!
What if I say no?
If you say no.
Well, the conditions apply
to you too; not just me.
If you dont co-operate,
I'll use my lifeline
and ask for a refund.
I'll use the lifeline!
A swan's walk is towards a frock!
Hey beauty!
Loose hair.
And red lip stick.
I want to see you so hot!
[Such morons, I tell you!]
No clothes needed!
Wow!
Come here my lovely,
lets eat halwa together!
Catch it!
Come.
That's all, sir.
I swear I'm not aware of
the proceedings after that.
You can even check with Mamu, sir.
Please, sir!
Sharanappa.
-Sir.
-Call that broker.
-Okay sir.
[After all that he's done,]
[look at how holier than thou
he's behaving around that girl!]
[Meet me outside,
I'll thrash you into pulp]
Hey you,
come in.
Me, sir?
Yes. Come with me.
[ I'll be back.
You'll have it from me.]
Come dude.
Sir...
-Come, Mamu.
Tell them I've done nothing.
You didn't do anything?
-That's not what I meant.
Tell them I didnt kill anyone.
They will turn me into pulp or else.
Sir, hes speaking the truth.
-Yes, sir.
When he came out,
the girl was fine.
Then that director went in.
He's poisonous like
an anaconda, sir.
Is anaconda venomous?
Isn't it sir?
Okay, then it's...
Cobra.
Yes, king cobra, sir.
If the cobra has venom in its
fangs, he has venom in his veins.
Call him in, sir.
He'll tell you the truth.
Call him, sir.
You guys think you're playing a relay?
Sharanappa.
-Sir.
Take this Kali swamy away
and find out what else he's been upto.
Okay, sir.
Sir, let me recite a few
holy verses to you!
Come on.
Tell him, Mamu.
Move
Sir, I'll tie you a protective amulet.
-I'll tie you up instead.
So mister director,
You still have a story worth
eight thousand to narrate.
Tell me.
Which is why I went back
in to finish the story.
Ive stepped out for work.
I will be back by 10 pm.
Bye.
Back again?
How can I not when you're
dressed so beautifully?
Okay, come.
You're here to write a
novel or narrate a story?
Not at all! But I'd like to say you
look like Sridevi in this outfit.
If Im Sridevi, then
are you Kamal Haasan?
But how did you
find out my name?
But my surname is not Haasan.
Kamal-Sridevi
Such a good title for a film.
Am I the heroine?
If you agree, yes.
And you are the hero?
No, Im not the hero.
I'll just direct.
I thought of calling Kamal
Haasan. But not this time...
Now its confirmed you're a director.
Wait, let me change.
This dress looks good.
To a lustful eye, everything seems desirable.
But for a woman who sells
her body against her wish,
those eyes feel like thorns.
Sit down. I'll be back.
I swear, I didn't understand
a word of what you said.
No need for you to
understand either.
Pass me that towel.
This is better.
Your costume sense is terrible
"Who are you pretty one?"
"Your allure is unlike any other."
"You're the poem that
has merged into my feelings"
"Who are you? Perhaps an illusion
who has returned to thrill?"
"Come and be my companion
on this journey of life."
"You are the one who brought
back the spark into my life"
"No matter what happens tomorrow,
you will be responsible for it"
"Who are you? Perhaps the light that
has re-ignited the life in my eyes
"You have brought in new glee... tell me,
do we even need this world anymore?"
"Who are you pretty one?"
"Your allure
is unlike any other."
"You're the poem that
has merged into my feelings"
"Who are you? Perhaps an illusion
who has returned to thrill?"
"Be my companion on
this journey called life"
"Because I am nothing without you"
Hey!
What's the matter?
Damn! Was there no shoot?
So Mr Director, which heroine
were you singing duets with?
Crp!
Did I end up playing the
hero instead of directing?
Such is the life of directors
-- they only dream!
Alright, back to reality.
Tell me honestly, which heroine
were you singing a duet with?
Nothing of that sort!
Dont lie.
I might not understand men,
but I'm well aware of how they think!
Im not like other
men. Im different.
Oh!
So, you're one of those!
Yes.
Hey,
I'm a man. Please don't think otherwise.
Explain "otherwise."
See, a woman is a feeling.
A man is a feeling, too.
Once those feelings unite,
even the bodies can become one.
And that union leads to birth.
I dont like forcing any of it.
Then why are you here?
To share my troubles.
Then get to the point?
Why the philosophy?
Okay.
So what happened after you
narrated the story to Shah Rukh Khan?
Did he agree?
I never went to pitch
to Shah Rukh Khan.
I lied to my owner.
I actually went for an
appointment with death.
Let me tell you how that went.
Oh god!
Oh no! This is terrible!
You scoundrel!
!
My head is intact?
So the lorry didn't go on me?
Who's that crazy fellow!
?!
You...
You idiot!
!
You wanted to die under my lorry?!
?!
You scoundrel!
I wanted to commit suicide.
Not be murdered!
Stop!
!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop!
Stop!
!
You'll surely die today!
.
So you started running away
from there like Milkha Singh!
If youd run in the Olympics, at
least you would've won a medal.
My story might sound comical to you.
Hello?
I sent another payment.
Did you get it?
Yes.
Shall I send the next customer?
Yes, send him.
This ones a bit different.
Adjust and co-operate.
Alright.
Has the director finished?
The first halfs done.
The second half is pending.
Ill give him an interval break.
You send the customer.
Alright.
First half and second half?
What is she referring to?
I wonder what's happening between them...
Sir, while I was inside, Mamu called
to say the next customers ready.
So I came out.
A filmmaker who preaches to society.
Don't you know committing suicide is wrong?
Whom did you send next?
He's sitting right here.
Call him in.
-Yes, sir.
Sir, it's not him, but her.
Never mind.
Mahadevi.
-Sir.
Bring her in.
Okay, sir.
Get up.
Whats your name?
-Johnny.
Age?
Stand here.
Name?
Nisha, sir.
What work do you do?
Author, sir.
I write crime-based novels.
What do you mean by crime based?
Murder mysteries?
And why did a crime
novelist go to a sex worker?
Sir, Ive started a novel
on sex rackets.
I went to see if I
could get some inputs.
The woman who gave
inputs is now dead.
And now you're one of the suspects.
So tell me what inputs
did she give you?
Tell me!
Why did you kill her?
No sir.
I didnt kill her.
I didnt even know her.
Mamu introduced me.
Hey!
Why is everyone trying to frame me!
Tell him.
He hits me for everything
that happens here.
Ive become the scapegoat for everyone!
Go on, tell him.
If you have money,
lend it to me, Mamu.
You haven't returned
what I lent last month.
I'll surely return.
-Where's she going!
Okay.
Hmm!
Are you the customer?
Why?
Am I not allowed here?
I expected to see another man.
Come on!
I hate men!
Sht!
Dont spoil my mood.
Do you smoke?
No.
I don't.
You're in this line of
work, and don't smoke?
Its fine.
Relax.
Ive paid for you.
So for the next hour,
you're my property.
Got it?
Calm down.
Calm down.
Why are you laughing?
Sorry sir!
You're amongst the educated
and respectable people in society.
You will encounter all kinds in a
place where sex work happens.
Didnt you think it
was risky to go there?
Yes, sir.
It was my mistake.
Men find pleasure with
women, and women with men
But for someone like me I can
only find pleasure with another woman.
Its a hormonal
problem in my body,
I can't help it, sir.
Im human, too.
And I have emotions.
But the society wont accept it.
I cant share everything
with my family or husband.
I can't even tell my friends as
they have a traditional mindset.
And I fear being
looked down on as cheap.
Yes it's true that I went
to her looking for pleasure
But I didnt kill her, sir!
Please believe me.
I didnt kill her.
Please, sir.
Calm down. Go sit.
Help her.
-Okay, sir.
Get up madam.
Sit here.
Drink some water.
Take.
Take her outside.
Okay sir.
Come, madam.
Oh no!
Seems like your story
could become a whole film.
What happened next?
Youre like the joker
in a pack of cards.
You'll find your way in
when you get the chance
Director, why are you out here smoking?
Once your work is done,
you must leave.
My work isnt over yet.
Youre like Mohammad Ghazni.
He attacked ten times, but never won.
Youve tried twice already and failed.
How many more chances do you need?
Once he comes out,
Ill go back to the battle.
Ive already told her.
You can't decide these things
on your own! What am I here for?
Im the line of control between you two.
You can't access her directly, okay?
Do I look like a joker to you?
Not possible.
An extra chance means extra money.
I'll pay you, don't worry.
-Do you mean it?
Why is she calling?
Tell me Devika.
Is the director there?
Yes, he's here.
Give him the phone for a minute.
Why don't you both
discuss and go to Maldives?
This won't work.
This is Muniswamy's rule.
It's not what you think.
Give him the phone.
Okay.
She wants to talk to you.
Hello, tell me.
If you don't mind,
can you get some Dettol, cotton, and
tincture from the pharmacy? Please?
Fine.
Whys he rushing
off after that call?
Whats going on between them?
Where's he running to?!
Give me Dettol and tincture.
What about bandage and scissors?
-Yes, those too.
What's he buying
at the pharmacy?
How much?
Four hundred rupees.
Okay.
This director is dangerous.
It's best to keep an eye on him.
What's up, Mamu?
Business seems to be good, huh!
You stocked up recently.
Is it over already?
You think I have no
better work to do?
What did that bearded
guy fetch from you?
He bought Dettol and tincture.
Dettol and tincture?
-Yes.
[If he's low on stamina, he must
take a tablet. Why Dettol and tincture?]
[Was he hurt?]
My god, what kind of
psycho bites like that!
Not a psychopath but a
psychopatni (a woman).
Patni!
You mean lady?!
Yes.
Plus and minus is okay,
Minus and plus is also fine, But
minus and minus? How does that work?
For some folks, even minus
and minus works as a plus.
And it's high voltage stuff!
Is it?!
-It's strange--
-Mr Director,
She bit my back.
I can't reach there,
can you apply the meds?
I feel fortunate.
Surely!
Sorry, just joking.
Give it.
Why did you go silent, director?
[So sad.]
Nothing like that.
She's psychopatni pro max!
She's forgotten you're a woman
and treated you worse than an animal!
Forget it.
Tell me your suicide
story; its better than this.
So, my story is ironical actually.
Take it.
Thank you director.
My whole plan
flopped like my film.
So I made a master plan.
What did you do?
I got poison that's more effective than
Tick 20 (repellant) and deadlier than a king cobra.
You had poison and survived?
I hadnt drunk it yet.
While I was on my way to consume it,
I passed by my hangout, Menaka bar.
And it welcomed me with open arms.
So you skipped the poison, went
for a drink and forgot everything, right?
No, I was prepared to die.
But poison is bitter to swallow.
So I bought some booze.
I thought I'll mix the poison
in it and head to heaven.
Just then, my hero Hari arrived.
Damn!
You guys won't even
let me die in peace.
Did you do the right thing?
Nope!
Wrong.
Despite knowing the struggles of an artiste,
do you feel what you did was right?
What the hell did I do?!
By promising to make me a hero,
you auditioned me,
did a photo shoot,
and then made someone
else the hero. Is that right?
Sorry, Hari.
You know how films work.
I had financial issues.
He invested 20 lakh rupees.
It's all done and dusted now.
The poor are always ignored, isn't it?
Forget it.
Your tension and my depression.
If I'm not fated to become a hero,
what can you do about it?
I'm extremely sad. Please let me be.
Sir, according to me, you can
handle pain in two ways.
One is to drink. The other
is to be with a woman.
Hari, Im not in the
mood. Leave me alone!
Ill fix your mood.
But...
I have a condition.
I'll tell you if you promise
to make me a hero.
Done. Tell me.
One minute.
What do you think of this
face! Just go to her!
Forget your troubles.
She will lighten your mood.
I don't do such things.
You're upset.
Just go there.
Shell listen to your troubles
and offer comfort.
Why would she care?
Because we will pay her.
But I have no money.
Who asked you for money!
I'll arrange for it.
Is that okay?
Fine.
You were prepared for hell
but reached heaven instead.
But youve wasted time
narrating your life story.
No, Devika. I had no one.
My pain was too deep to share.
I was like a kite
that is cut loose.
Now Ive found an anchor.
My mind feels light.
And I must thank Hari for this.
If not for him, my body would
have been in morgue by now.
Hello! It wasnt Hari
who listened to your story.
It's Devika.
Special salute to you too!
So what about your decision to die?
It changed because of you.
There are many who want to live.
But God doesnt give them that chance.
There are others who have a good life.
But they go chasing a death certificate!
Hello Devika.
Is the director still going at it?
No, hes done.
Thank god! Shall I send the next customer?
Okay.
Fine.
You have amazing energy!
You must be having energy drinks!
You seem so active!
Your time is up.
Fine.
Alright. On my way back,
should I get you anything?
Why would you come back?
What nonsense!
How can you ask me this question
after what I've shared with you?
Just wait.
Ill smash your
head with this lamp.
You mentioned about
smashing her with that lamp.
How many times did you hit her?
I was just joking, sir.
Joking?
Her murder is a joke to you?
Sharanappa.
-Yes, sir.
What time did he
take the scissors?
At 04:16, from Vinayak
Medicals, near the lodge.
She asked for Dettol and cotton.
Why did you take scissors?
The shopkeeper offered scissors
and bandage, so I took them.
And then?
Sir,
these are the reports of Devika.
Forensics indicate that her body is
severely damaged both inside and out,
Slash wounds, bite marks and severe head injury.
Heavy bleeding from scissor stabs.
This is the X-Ray report, sir,
Her neck and ribs are also damaged.
She was also raped by four
to five men before death.
This is FSL report, sir.
The fingerprints on the table lamp, the
scissors and Kamals fingerprints are a 100% match.
[The director is done for!
They will not spare him now!]
Anything to say now?
[C'mon confess!]
[Say it!]
[Spit it out!]
[I didn't do it!]
[I didn't do it!]
[Even with all this proof,
you want to fake innocence?]
[Just confess!]
Say it!
Go on, say it!
Talk!
-Sir.
Just put a snake in his undies
and he'll spit out the truth.
-Mind your business.
Do you want the same treatment? -No sir.
Confess!
PC sir
Hey!
He's thrashing him!
You are next.
No sir, please!
-You can predict the future, isn't it?
Only palmistry, sir.
You won't have hands to even wash up!
Spit it out!
Stop.
Hey
even with all the evidence,
you want to deny killing her?
Confess. Or else you'll
continue getting thulped.
I was prepared to die.
Why would I kill her, sir?
Stop.
Get him dressed and bring him.
-Yes, sir.
Sir!
Sir!
You sloth bear
It hurts sir!
what are you doing here,
instead of being in a forest?
What do you do?
Sir!
I am a student!
A student who skips
college and goes to lodges?
How old are you?
Eighteen. No twenty, sir!
Eighteen? Or twenty?!
-Sir!
I haven't applied hair oil, sir.
The roots are a bit damaged.
Drat!
You haven't sprouted a moustache yet.
And you want a woman!
It wasn't voluntary sir.
The doctor advised me to do so.
Which crazy doc told you that?
Dr. Kudure Babu.
Which Babu?!
Kudure...
Dr. Kudure Babu.
Doctor, If I fail the exams
this time, my dad will kill me.
Please help me.
Hey!
So you haven't give up mturbation?
Its getting worse!
I think it's the effect of all pn you watch!
I try not to doctor.
But the moment I open a book,
Sunny Leone and Mia
Khalifa start singing a duet.
What do I do?
You're addicted.
You already know the
theory of sex education.
Now it's time for practicals.
Once you realise there's
no big deal about sex,
youll lose interest
and become normal.
Really?
Ill give you Mamus number.
Tell him Dr. Kudure Babu sent you.
Hell take care of the rest.
-Okay, doctor.
Dont skip the practicals.
Mamus the medicine
for your illness.
Here, take it.
Mamu!
So are you the
chap Kudure Babu sent?
Yes, sir.
You look like you've just
crawled out of the cradle.
How long have you been on earth?
Eighteen or maybe twenty years, sir.
Be precise.
Eighteen or twenty?
How does that matter?
Will you get me married?
Quick, tell me where to go!
Take off your hand.
Listen, the government has
set an age to vote and have kids.
The law is strict. You will have
to rot in jail if you break it.
Nineteen years, sir.
Show me your Aadhar card.
Do I need it for such occasions, too?
I was unaware of it!
Go home and
bring an elder.
No way. Stop yapping and tell me
how much it would take to shut you up!
Hey!
-Please sir!
How dare you shout at Mamu!
One last time, sir!
I'll pay how much ever you want!
If my family finds out,
Ill lose all respect.
Ill pay extra, please!
Please!
Two thousand more
than the quoted price.
Oh! That's it?
Why didn't you say this earlier?
Here. There's an extra
two thousand bucks in there.
Which room?
Wait for a bit dude.
-Okay.
He's in a bloody hurry!
Hello, Devika.
-Tell me.
There's a customer
here. Shall I send him?
Okay.
Alright.
Room 501. She'll be there--
Room no 501!
-Hey!
I'll catch you later,
thank you!
I'm sure this chap will break
my teak wood cot today.
This way! Not that
way! Room no 501.
Take it easy bro.
I dont need room service.
Why the hurry?
No!
I'm not an attendant.
Who are you?
I'm a customer.
Are you the customer?
Okay, come.
Devika!
Devika! May you live
long Kudure Babu!
C'mon kiss me!
Madam, was that a
donkey that kicked me?
It wasn't a donkey,
but me who kicked you!
You?
-Yes.
Why madam?!
Why are you acting like a
restless cat, ready to pounce?
Go close the door first.
Oh!
Is that why you kicked me?
Then it's alright!
I was in a hurry
and forgot to close it.
Hail Kudure Babu!
Wait a moment.
I won't run away, relax.
Fine? Clothes off, pants
off, let undies be intact.
Shall I come?
Devika!
That's all I know, sir.
Once I came out, I
dont know what happened.
Karthik.
-Yes, sir.
Take him and break his instrument.
-Why sir?!
The horse should forget to neigh.
Sir!
-Kudure Babu, my foot!
Not just his instrument, sir.
Let's wipe off his existence!
Oh no sir!
What have I done sir?
I only followed the doctors advice!
It's not my fault sir.
Please, sir!
Sir!
-The fault isn't yours.
It lies with your parents.
Parents put all their troubles
aside to give you a life of comfort.
It is their fault.
And you do everything, except study.
Sexual desire is part of life.
But it doesn't define
your entire life.
If it becomes your only
focus, you will ruin your life.
Sorry sir!
It wont happen again.
Sorry!
[He may slap me again!]
Him, sir. It's him.
Who's calling?
Who else? It's Muniswamy.
Whats his problem?
The previous customer
complained that I didnt co-operate.
He looked like my younger brother
He wanted me to teach him to
switch gears and ensure a fun ride.
Oh!
That's true though. He's inexperienced!
A lad who can't ride a cycle,
can't be expected to drive a lorry!
I wasn't referring to you!
I meant him.
So how many such
characters do you meet in a day?
You've seen it all. And I
include you too in that list.
I told you I'm different.
How long have you
been in this field?
Didn't you come here to share your
experiences? Now you want to know mine?
Just for a change.
.
Why don't you share your joys and sorrows?
You will feel light. Im here to listen.
But I am not ready to share.
Why?
You're a director.
What if you steal
my story for a film?
If the storys good, Ill give you
a share from the revenue.
Would you really give me a share?
How much?
Will five lakh rupees do?
Really?
If the story is good,
I can promise you that.
Perhaps, God had a lot of time for me.
He's written an entire book dedicated to me!
More than I can even tell, actually...
I'm the guy who rewatches old serials.
So listening to your story
is no big task for me. Go on.
Hello.
Hello Devika, two
customers are ready.
Shall I send them?
Theyre like twin bananas.
They do everything together.
Be it booze or women,
they enjoy it together.
They look like rogues.
But, they aren't cheaters.
At one shot, twenty thousand rupees.
Are you okay?
I don't care about their looks.
As long as I get paid.
Send them.
Okay then.
I admire your stamina!
How much can you take?
How is it even possible?!
I can't help it.
I have commitments.
What is that commitment?
Customers are coming.
I'm a customer
too; but I get no respect.
Okay see you.
Then I left, sir.
Excuse me, sir.
You have a call.
Hello.
Daddy.
Tell me, dear.
The cakes here, it's huge.
Are you happy?
Full happy.
How long will you
take to come home?
Theres a thief-uncle
who's telling me a story.
Ill come as soon
as he finishes.
Come soon, bye.
Bye.
Stop right there.
Who are they?
The ones whose
mobiles were switched off.
They too had gone to Devika.
Sir!
Sir!
I suspect these guys, sir.
How the hell are you saying
that we committed the murder!!
If I slice you with my razor, even the doctor
will get confused on where to stitch you up!
Bro, it's a station, keep quiet.
-Shut up, dude!
What does he think of himself!
He's trying to frame us!
You scoundrel, I don't
even care if it's a station,
I'll chop you into pieces.
I've met many like you--
-Bro!
Listen to me.
-Let me go.
-Shut up, I'll speak.
Sir, its true that were rowdies.
We've been charged
of two 307 cases (attempt to murder)
But we've never committed
a 302 (punishment for murder).
Prison isnt new to us.
if wed killed someone,
wed admit it ourselves.
I dont need your case history.
Did you guys go there or not?
Yes sir, we did.
Ay!
Come here darling.
Wow!
She's smoking hot, bro!
The alcohol high has worn off.
Her hotness is giving me a better kick!
Round, plump
Her wholesome body
is like a well-rounded sheep!
If slow-cooked
into spicy biryani...!
Darling, what's your name?
Devika.
Devika.
Devika.
a.k.a Devadasi.
Superb!
!
Darling!
Do you drink?
Im not used to that
Just a little will do.
It's nice!
Hey!
You said no to the drink.
At least smoke with me!
I dont smoke.
Why darling?!
You're saying no to everything!
We've come here to have fun!
Don't ruin our mood, darling.
-Hey!
I dont like being touched like that.
Hey! What do you mean!
Your wish counts
only until you step in here.
After that, only our wish matters!
Didn't we pay you
twenty thousand bucks!!
What happened, bro?
Who the hell is she?
She's blowing the fuse even
before the game has begun.
Did she kick you that hard?
Almost knocked me out!
Damn you!!
How dare you hit my buddy!
I know exactly what to do with you!
Please don't!
Hello, Mamu.
What's up ATM,
calling me after ages?
Been busy. The photo
you sent me of that girl?
Well, her rate is
too high. Reduce it.
The rate is as
high as her beauty.
Alright, fine
Dont bargain like a beggar.
Is it?!
Anyway you're a guard at an ATM.
Just sneak out a few notes.
Might work well for you.
Fine, Ill think about it.
This ATM doesn't stop acting like
a teenager even in his eighties.
Crazy chap!
Hey Mamu!
Don't you have the sense to inform us
when a new chick enters the market?
Why dude?
Don't act smart with us!
Ill rip you apart!
Do you want to be
in the business or not?
If you want to stay here, remember this.
It's our last warning,
If you run the business by skipping
us, we'll ensure you're finished.
Got it?
Mamu, that aunty was the best!
As sweet as sugarcane!
Sucked all the juice!
Anyway, it's time for us to go
sign at the police station.
Bye Mamu!
Mamu! Mamu!
So many people die in accidents.
I wish these two would die instead.
What's up with this guy!
Thats about it, sir.
Then we went to Siddapura
station to sign, and headed home.
I swear on my mother,
we didn't do it, sir!
He may seem innocent sir, but he's trying
to frame us for what he's done!
Thrash him sir!
If the wife isn't willing, it's wrong
for the husband to force her!
How dare you torture
a woman you don't know!
How dare you torture her!
-Sir!
Sir!
-How dare you!
No sir!
Sir! Please don't!
-How dare you seek pleasure,
by torturing her!
Sir!
I'll smash your face!
Whos this?
Hes the senior citizen
we told you about.
He's one of the accused.
He was the first to spot the victim's body.
What's your name?
Venkata.
At your age, why did you go there?
Huh?!
Mamu!
[Why is this oldie taking my name?]
Mamu?
You saw the body first, right?
Yes.
Do you know how she was killed?
Answer!
Hey!
Yikes!
Damn!
Irritating chap!
Take him away!
Let's go.
Sir!
Sir!
Sir, you were right.
Looks like the ATM fellow
is on his way to the grave!
This director was planning to kill him too!
If I hadnt been there that day, it
wouldve been a double murder.
I swear on my mother! Ask him.
He'll confirm if it's true.
A woman is nothing but an object
to be used and enjoyed, right?
You rape, you kill, and then
come here with sob stories.
Isnt it?
Devika!
Devika!
Miss Devika!
Miss Devika!
Miss Devika!
Miss Devika!
Get up.
Get up, what happened?
Get up.
Please get up.
Miss Devika!
Get up.
I'll bring you water.
Take.
Here.
Have some water.
Drink some more.
Come.
It's fine, come on.
Carefully.
Be careful.
Come.
Carefully.
Why do you look so shocked, Mr Director?
What did you expect?
My heart skipped a beat
seeing you in that state.
I will not die so soon.
I've go many dreams to fulfil!
I'll get it.
One moment.
Mamu's calling.
Hello.
Hello, Devika. All okay?
Im fine. Why would
you think otherwise?
I know,
youre like an iron lady.
Ive never seen someone
with your kind of experience.
Theres another customer,
should I send him?
He will be your seventh and final customer.
Alright, send him.
But hell be half an hour late,
is it okay?
Fine, no problem.
Okay.
Another one?
Whats gotten into you?
I thought you were the crazy one.
And you're asking if I'm crazy!
So funny!
You're ravaged and almost lifeless!
And you still want another man!!
Are you a sex worker or some sex maniac!
Sorry
Why mister director?
Cant you sense the
pain in my voice now?
So mister director,
you got scared, huh?
Why not?
Your acting skills are like Soundarya.
You can scare people with your laugh!
What pleasure do
you get from drinking?
It eases tension.
And relaxes the body and mind.
Really?
-Yes.
Pour me a little. I could use it.
Fine.
You certainly need it.
Because men have
this rotten habit of drinking,
so many womens'
lives have been ruined.
Still, men drink and
destroy them further.
Whats in this drink anyway?
Ill see for myself.
Please get back to work
tomorrow. Take it easy today.
You look exhausted.
How do even drink this!
What's your burden? Why are
you troubling yourself so much?
You really want to hear my story?
Yes.
No its ugly. Very ugly!
That doesnt matter.
I want to hear it.
Fine.
Pour me another and I'll tell you.
What's my name?
Devika.
No
thats a lie.
My name is Sridevi.
Sridevi?
Yes.
I have a small family,
My little daughter, Dhruthi,
and my ageing mother.
We may lack money,
but aren't short of love.
They're my world.
-Bye.
Bye.
Mom, close your eyes.
Don't open till I tell you
What's my cute baby writing?
Wait, I'll tell you.
Yeah!
This is you and this is me.
What's this?!
Sweetie!
Give it.
This is you and this is me.
Muah!
Children mean the world to their parents.
It's the same with me.
My daughter means everything to me.
"A golden smile, beautiful as
the moon, the light of my life."
"In a river of tears, I found
heaven, because you're my goddess."
"Your happiness makes me forget my pain."
"You are my world, my reason
to live, you're my life's blessing"
"I will always be with you
as your guardian angel"
"I will walk beside you and
give life to your every dream."
"My little treasure of love,
you are my life's light"
"You are my reason to live
you're my life's blessing"
"I will always be with
you as your guardian angel."
"A golden smile, beautiful as
the moon, the light of my life."
"In a river of tears, I found
heaven, you are my goddess."
Mom, don't be late in the evening.
Please come early.
I want to play with my friends...
MOM!!
Dhruti!
Dhruti!
Dhruti!
Mom!
Dhruti!
Dhruti!
Wake up, dear!
Dhruti!
Somebody call an ambulance!!
Dhruti!
Call an ambulance!
Dhruti!
Sister!
Wait a minute.
Wait, madam.
"A golden smile"
"As beautiful as the moon"
Doctor, how is she?
Who are you to the patient?
I am her mother.
Madam,
the blow to her head has
damaged her nervous system.
Theres a blood clot in the brain.
We must operate immediately,
as the chance of her
going into coma is high.
How much will it cost?
Around six lakh rupees.
Arrange it quickly.
Ill need some time.
Theres no time.
Arrange it now,
as her lifes at risk.
This happened in front
of your construction site.
Don't spin these tales to me.
Go and file a complaint.
I will compensate
after it's proved.
I tried my level best,
I can't help you beyond this.
You can ask someone else.
This is all I can arrange,
please adjust.
[Is this all I get for these ornaments?]
But sir, my bike is not that old.
Doctor!
-Hmm.
Wait a minute.
-Take this.
I'm short of seventy thousand rupees.
Please proceed with the surgery.
I'll pay the balance soon after.
Please save my daughter's life.
This isn't a government
hospital to negotiate, madam.
It's a corporate hospital.
Treatment will only be
after settling the bill.
It's our hospital's rule.
Tell me after you arrange the pending
amount, and I'll prepare for surgery.
I paid all the money I
arranged to the hospital.
And struggled to arrange
the pending seventy thousand.
I begged my relatives and neighbours.
Some helped,
others didnt.
With no options left, I
stood at the bus stand
and thats when Muniswamy
appeared like he was god sent.
He told me if I sold my body, I
could get the money immediately.
I don't care about my body.
All that matters to me is my daughter!
That's the reason,
I left everything to
God and came here.
Dhruthi is the only one who matters to me!
Now tell me,
..was I wrong?
Was I wrong, director?
Director!
Was I wrong?
No.
What happened director?
Did my story bore you?
I too have heard many tales.
But I assumed that cinema
and life are different.
But your life...
Despite so much pain,
how are you still so calm?
Life keeps teaching you;
you just have to keep learning.
But Devika--
Sorry, Miss Sridevi.
Don't you have a husband?
All the men who came
here paid and left satisfied.
But my so-called husband
forgot he had a wife and home,
and came to me only to fulfil his desires.
Hes as good as dead to me.
If he was a good provider,
why would I be here?
I tried ending my life
for just one problem.
But your life is just
filled with problems.
Director, youre a good man.
You drank with me
and listened to my story.
I never thought Id find a friend
like you in such a place!
I dont know how to thank you.
Hey, even if you ask me to
jump off this building, I'll do so.
But dont prick me with your words.
Theres pain in your voice too,
What is it? Tell me.
Hello.
[Devika, the customers
here , shall I send him in?]
Fine, send him.
Okay.
Enough I cant watch
you suffer anymore.
You just need the money, right?
Ill arrange it. Lets go to the hospital.
I asked you when you first came.
I even told you Id return
the money with interest.
You told me that you didnt have 700
bucks, let alone 70,000 rupees.
How will you get it now?
Why do you care?
You need the money, right?
I can trade my life for the money! Let's go.
Are you showing me sympathy?
I'm not that cruel to have you
trade your life for the amount.
This isnt the time for an argument!
Lifes already turned in this direction.
One more man on
my body won't kill me.
Please understand, Sridevi
Kamal,
I'll have the satisfaction of
earning the money I needed.
I thought youd understand that.
Please dont force me.
No matter what you say, I won't
change my decision. Please leave.
Please Sridevi!
They say God only gives a
good heart to good people.
And you have it.
Whatever you do, it will
turn out well for you, Kamal. Go now
Hello mom...
Hello.
Hows Dhruthi?
Sleeping.
Where are you?
Its been so long and
you still havent returned
Im coming.
Ive sent money to the hospital.
Go to the doctor and
arrange for the operation.
Alright, Im going.
ATM, seems like you did
pull off the job I told you to?
What's up with you?!
If a guard himself loots,
the job will get a bad name.
Then how did you
get these crisp notes?
I'm giving you
my month's salary.
Is it right to hand over a months
salary for a moment's pleasure?
What can I do?
Look...
Even if the tree ages,
the tamarind still stays sour.
When the body grows old,
it still asks for many things.
Those desires must be fulfilled, right?
You've lost your teeth, have a rod in
your leg, yet your lust didn't fade!
Smarty pants!
There.
Where?
Is that butterfly colorful?!
Dont grab the honey, itll
drip down by itself. Go on.
Director, your face
looks like a bruised brinjal.
You look like youve
been through a full workout.
The engine will get jammed if
you go on an overdrive mode!
Whose lucky face did
I see this morning, dude!
I've already made a
weeks collection in one day.
If the iron lady stays with
me, my life will be set.
Damn you!
Please leave me!
ATM, did you go to
other room in excitement?!
Hello, Mamu!
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
What!
O god!
Sridevi!
Sridevi!
Sridevi!
Sridevi?!
[Isn't she Devika?!]
Sridevi!
Sridevi!
What did you do?!
-Mamu!
Mamu!
Answer!
I didn't...
I didn't...
..do anything.
-Hey!
She was dead already.
[This is you, this is me]
Hey! Why did you kill her?!
You killed her! Why are
you trying to beat him up!
Why would I kill her? She
was fine when I left the room.
She was killed after he entered.
He looks like he will die any time now!
Why would he kill her?
How? I'll show you.
Why did you kill her?!
-I did not!
Why did you kill her?! Answer me.
Answer me.
-Let him go.
Answer!
-Leave him!
Let him go.
-Answer me.
Sir, Ive spoken to Devika's
neighbours and colleagues.
She was a good woman, sir.
She never fought with anyone.
She'd do her work and go home.
But her husban was
a drunkard and a gambler.
He comes and goes at will.
His phones been switched off.
Our team is tracing him.
That director is
telling the truth.
Devikas daughter is undergoing
treatment at the hospital.
We've traced all the mobiles.
Johnny, Nisha, Naga,
Manja and Kamesh.
Once they left, their mobile tower locations
indicate they are at different places.
None of them came
near the lodge again.
After Devikas phone got switched off,
Mamu, ATM, and Kamals
location remained near the lodge.
Looking at the security guards condition,
he couldnt have beaten
someone so brutally.
That director is
playing games with us.
No matter how much we
beat him, he wont confess.
Get down.
This is where I first met Mamu, sir.
Walk faster.
Sit.
Do you pen the stories for your films?
Yes, sir.
How many stories
have you written so far?
Four.
And what about the
one you're telling us?
Sharanappa.
-Sir.
What do we do with him?
Lets write a new story, sir.
Narrate it so that
he can understand.
We have brought the accused
to recreate the crime scene.
Then the accused tries to escape,
and attempts to kill the officers on duty.
He was encountered in an act of self defence.
Is it okay, sir?
So that's the end to your story.
The End.
Karthik.
-Sir.
What do you take us for?
That wed believe
your bedtime stories?
You have two minutes.
Decide if you want to confess
how you killed her or die.
Sharanappa.
Sir.
Watch him.
Why do you want to die?
Just confess the truth.
Sir?
Theres a CCTV camera
have you checked the footage?
Sorry, sir, I didnt
notice. Ill check.
So you still wont confess?
Don't you fear death?
Sooner or later
everyone will die, sir.
Apart from feeling sad that I
will die for a crime I didn't commit,
death doesnt scare me, sir.
Dialogue!
We have all the evidence
related to the recent murder.
We know the killer, too.
Move it!
Sir!
-Sir!
Sit down.
I am fine, sir.
Sit down.
Whats your name?
Ashok, sir.
Do you know her?
No, sir.
I don't know her.
Sir, she's my wife.
But...we aren't together now.
On 22 November, at 9:30 PM,
your wife was murdered at MM Lodge.
Where were you at the time?
I was at a movie with friends.
Is this the
same film that you watched?
Was it good?
Will you confess or
should we make you do it?
I was playing cards with friends
in Room 401 at MM Lodge.
Damn! Why is she pestering me!
Every night we
used to hear moans,
But that day, we heard
moans since afternoon.
Damn! What's this sound, Gilli?
-My 1000 rupees bet.
Wait, mine is a 2000 bucks bet.
We hear this every day.
This is a place for lovers!
It's an old lodge, so
it's not exactly sound proof.
Dont bother, just play.
I'll be back in a minute.
Director, youre a good man.
You had a drink with me
and listened to my story.
I never thought Id find
a friend like you in this place.
I dont know how to thank you.
Damn her!
Quickly finish your
work and leave.
I dont have time.
How long has this been going on?
Wheres that scoundrel?!
Where's he?
Who?
Huh!
That man who has been
with you since morning.
Besides,
how dare you tell
me that time's up?
You bich!
You useless scoundrel,
had you been a good husband,
why would I even be here!
So, you came here to
enjoy with strange men? BH!
Not only do you lie with strangers
but also bad mouth your husband?
You come for the good times
and run away during tough times.
And now you come to beat me up?
Beat you?
Ill kill you today!
You cannot take care
of your wife and child,
and now you dare beat her up?!
What did you say?!
You will die today...
Bich! How dare you
play games with me!
That desperate, huh?
Youre not fit for marriage.
Youre only fit for adultery.
Please don't!
I am feeling dizzy,
Are you feeling dizzy?!
Want to go to a hospital?
Bich!
Do you fancy other men?!
Hey!
Hey!
I couldn't bear to see my
wife with another man.
So I beat her to death.
Damn you!
Even without knowing
the truth, you killed her!
Hey Kamal, leave him!
Hey! Get him away.
Leave me!
Let him go.
Leave me, sir.
It's okay if I'm called a
murderer, I wont spare him!
Pull him out!
Hey Kamal!
Let him go.
Let me go sir. I
have to kill him.
Leave him.
Let me free sir.
Hold him!
What do you know about her?!
-Kamal!
Come this side.
Come here.
Let me go!
You killed her for nothing! N-Hold him tightly.
Leave me, sir.
-Stay quiet.
-Leave me, sir.
Congratulations director.
Youve made a good film.
Good job.
.
Hold him.
I can't help it.
Such is our work.
We have to suspect everyone.
It's fine.
Dont take it to heart.
It's okay, sir.
.
Good luck.
.
Thanks for coming, sir.
. !
Uncle.
Where's mommy?
Muah!
So Mr Director, finally made
a film on my life, huh?
So where's my share?
Ah never mind!
Even if you dont give
me the money, its alright.
Just take good
care of my daughter.
Somehow, Ill come back
and repay my debt to you.
You are the goddess who gave
a hopeless man the will to live.
I owe you far more
than you owe me.
Uncle,
it's time, shall we go?
In the story you narrated,
why didnt tell my mother
that you love her?
I couldnt say I love
you to your mother.
So I say it to you instead.

Answering.
Please note, sir.

A woman has been murdered at
MM Lodge, in market area limits.
Copy that.

Answering, sir.
Charlie B2.
Answering, sir.

murdered at MM Lodge.
Go to MM Lodge immediately.

Sharannappa, sir.
Sharannappa, sir.
Hello
Greetings, sir.
Yeah Sharanappa, tell me.
Sir, theres been a
murder at MM Lodge.
Okay,
Im on my way.
[-Okay sir.]
Hmm.
Sir,
You wont even let me celebrate
my daughter's birthday!
Sorry, sir.
Where's the crime scene?
On the top floor, sir.
This lodge looks really old.
It's the oldest in this area, sir.
Let's go up, sir.
The murder took place between
9 and 10 pm last night.
This way, sir.
We have detained four suspects
in connection with the case.
We'll get more details during investigation.
Right now, they claim they're innocent.
This is the room.
Good morning, sir.
Good morning, sir.
Get his signature after inspection.
Okay, sir.
Morning, sir.
Sir.
-Sir.
Sir, her name is Devika.
She's a sex worker.
And was here on work last night.
But was murdered.
If they dont get a woman to
satiate their lust, they rape.
And kill the same woman who fulfills their desire.
How sad.
She chose this job for
survival, but ended up dead.
-Don't miss out on any evidence.
-Yes sir.
Follow the procedure.
-Okay, sir.
What about her family?
We will get on that job now, sir.
Okay.
Begin with the enquiry of the accused.
Ill come to the
station in an hour.
Okay, sir.
Sir!
Send the body for postmortem.
-Okay, sir.
"There's no one to call
your own, it's a weird world"
"There's no one to call your
own, it's a weird world"
"Life is but an iilusion!"
"There's no one to call
your own, it's a weird world"
Good morning, sir.
Sir.
-Sir.
Namaste, sir.
Namaskara, sir.
Sir.
-Sir.
Let me go, sir!
Good morning, sir.
Good morning, sir.
Sir, I didn't murder anyone!
I swear, I didn't do it, sir!
[GRUNTS] Sir!
Stop faking it now!
Enough with your act!
Please don't hit me!
Sir, the boss is here.
Thrash them to pulp!
-Okay sir.
Please don't hit me, sir!
Despite repeated thrashing,
they're denying the murder.
Fine. Bring them in.
Pratap.
Sir.
Go and interrogate that guy, Cartoon.
Okay, sir.
Did they confess?
Sir, not at all.
The boss will handle it now.
Move it!
-Will he beat us up too?
-No way, he'll offer you kisses!
Idiot!
[-Now tell the boss the same
thing that you shared with us.]
Alright, sir!
Okay sir.
-Be off.
Go, damn it!
Namaste, sir.
-Come quickly.
Coming, sir.
Tell the boss everything
that you told us before.
Okay sir.
Sir!
Didn't you say there were four suspects?
Yes, sir.
One of them is quite old.
He fainted from watching
them being thrashed.
Our constables have
taken him to the hospital.
They will bring him once he's better.
Sir, this is Mamu.
Alias Maranahalli Muniswamy.
He brought the
victim to the lodge.
This is Kamal.
He claims to be a film director.
He was with the
victim till the end.
This is Kariya. Alias Cartoon.
He is the manager
and owner of that lodge.
No sir!
He claims that
Mamu, Kamal, and the ATM security
guard were fighting in the victim's room.
It was he who informed
us about the murder.
Come here.
Whats the name of your lodge?
MM Lodge, sir.
What does MM stand for?
Mysore Mallige Lodge, sir.
You name it after a flower
and run a sex racket?
No, sir.
And that too, within my jurisdiction!
Sir, it's a local lodge.
Some come there to
booze, others come to gamble
while others come to seek pleasure.
But they all walk out creating trouble.
Even with CCTV, they rip
out the wires and walk off.
And you just sit quietly
and watch them do it?
Now tell me who is
responsible for this murder?
Mamu, sir.
[What!]
[You ae!]
[This guy is unbelievable!]
[He's setting me up!]
It was Mamu who
brought her to the lodge.
I remained at the reception
counter the whole time.
I swear on my mother, I have
nothing to do with this murder.
Please believe me, sir!
Okay, stay outside.
-Yes, sir.
Is there a problem with your leg?
I'm fine now, sir.
Then why are you limping?
It's because your men
thrashed me into pulp, sir.
And if lie to us, we'll ensure
you limp for the rest of your life.
No sir. I will speak the
truth now and always.
What do you do for a living?
I do match fixing for men who are desperate
and women who're in need of money!
Just say you're a broker.
Don't complicate it.
Yes, exactly sir.
I'm helpless sir.
My previous job didn't last long.
And I had to find a way to carry on.
I grew up surrounded by comfort.
So I'm not used to
any kind of hard work.
And then I met a
girl in Kalasipalya.
And it's continued from there!
How long have you known the victim?
Sir, I met her last
morning at the market.
And by evening she was killed.
Why did you kill her?
I swear on my mum,
it wasnt me, sir.
It's the director who did it sir.
Sir!
Hes the one who did it, sir.
Not at all sir!
He's faking it, sir,
Don't trust him.
He's a good actor!
Sir,
He's had a go at her
six times like a raging bull, sir.
Sir!
Just slap him hard and
he will spill the beans!
Oh my lord!
Damn!
But why sir?
I asked you about her.
Just stick to the question.
Damn, no clients in sight!
Is your piles cured?
No, Mamu!
Im under treatment.
It will take some time.
If you're this desperate, don't
expect to be cured easily!
No, Mamu!
You haven't found
any girl for the night yet?
Looks like those
girls won't do either.
Lovely?
-No.
Jolly?
-Nope.
Pinky?
Nikki.
She's trending in the
market at Rs 4000 an hour!
I want someone who can
perform in different angles.
Different, huh? I pity those girls dude!
Why?
Don't they get paid?
And don't you get your commission?
If you want money,
you must work hard for it.
Will this girl do?
-No mamu.
Mamu.
-Huh?
Remember the girl
you sent last week?
Dimple?
-Yes, Dimple.
Send Dimple. Shes amazing!
But shes gone to
Sakleshpur for three days!
Let her return. Ill wait until then.
Okay, Ill call her.
Dont forget.
-Be off now.
Yes leave.
I wonder who she is!
I can tell she belongs to my trade!
Let me check her out.
Wait dude!
Hello Kamali, I've quoted
three thousand rupees an hour.
The client saw your
photo and has approved.
Ill fix the match in an hour.
Ill inform you the time. Bye.
One minute.
Huh?
I've figured who you
are from your behaviour.
If Kamali gets three thousand,
how much will I fetch?
By merely looking at your
body, I can judge who you are.
I can clearly tell you're
familiar with my profession!
I just own the showroom.
And various customers like to visit it.
My job is to bring them in.
So tell me your price.
Seventy thousand.
What!
How can you quote Wi-Fi
rates in a no-signal zone?
This isnt Brigade Road or
MG Road. Its City Market!
Here they only pay two or
three thousand rupees an hour.
Seventy thousand is my final price.
This rate won't work
for either of us. Forget it.
Even if you fetch me Rs 25,000
from three clients, I'm good.
Are you baiting me or
trying to cast an entire net?
Im quoting my price.
I haven't seen you around.
Where were you operating before this?
Thats not your concern.
After a while,
you might agree to seven
clients at 10,000 bucks each!
I am fine with seven clients.
[She's strange!]
[I can't figure this one out!]
Can you do it or not?
I'll arrange for it.
I have premium clients.
If I share your pictures on
whatsapp, they will be here in a jiffy!
But...
they will torture you not just physically,
but also mentally. Is that fine?
I'm okay with it.
But, it's strictly one hour per client.
Alright then.
I'll set it up.
When will you report for duty?
Right now.
Huh?
Okay, come along.
Lets go to my palace.
Hey Mamu.
-Hey, Suleman.
Hey Cartoon, give me the palace keys.
Give the room key, idiot!
Who is this hot chick, mamu?
Shut up and watch your phone.
Damn you!
Come my dear.
Hello drunkard! Started early today, huh?
Oh c'mmon!
A new find huh?
Whats her rate?
Ten thousand per hour.
Interested?
Get lose now!
Damn!
I can buy drinks for
a week for that price.
[Moaning heard in the background]
Yikes!
Oh no!
Even dogs have better sense of privacy.
Have the decency to close the door!
Uncouth fools!
Bolt it now.
Come in.
Come.
.
Hows my palace!
Vibrant and colourful, huh?
Ever been in a room like this?
No chance.
Everyone who comes here
prefers to turn the lights off.
Im the only one to turn them on!
And everyday,
new heroes and heroines
love to roll on this bed.
It's when they roll, that
money comes rolling to me!
Along with the body, even the
soul should be satisfied isn't it?
Hence, this setup.
So, how's my palace?
I hope there are no cameras.
Oh c'mmon!
This lodge is literally falling apart!
You really think we'll have cameras here?
Dont worry.
This may be a dirty business,
but my heart is clean.
This right here, is a bar.
This will cost extra.
If someone has a drink,
just inform me.
Ill ensure he pays up. Okay?
Whats your name?
Devika.
Seems like the name of a goddess.
Lucky are those who get to worship you!
Go stand there.
I have to click some photos.
But why!
Nobody will pay without
seeing your face first.
I will upload your photo on our group.
If they like you, they'll come here.
Don't be scared. Go on, pose.
Go stand there.
Turn around.
Smile!
Very good.
.
Turn this way.
Smile!
Okay.
Now look at the camera.
Give a big smile!
Super.
.
Thats enough.
The bathrooms over there.
There's soap inside if you want to shower.
You can freshen up and rest.
When a client calls,
Ill let you know.
Okay?
Here in the first drawer,
I've placed the safety kit.
If the client hasn't carried it,
you can use this.
Enjoy and be respectful.
Okay?
Lock the door now.
I have some conditions.
Tell me.
It's...
No cash. Only UPI.
The payment must be credited
before the client arrives.
Only one hour per client.
No clients after 9 pm.
I've work to attend to after that.
You're already booked by
someone else after that?
Youre a star player!
Okay.
To me, customer is the king.
Keep them happy.
And dont create trouble.
Now give me your number.
You are fancy.
Your phone number is fancy, too!
Good luck.
.
Lock the door.
Come.
Ill call you. Okay?
Hey!
-Huh?
Why do you always watch
cartoons like a school kid?
It's a lot of fun, mamu...
Everyone has their own idea of fun!
Who's that hot chick?
-And what's her rate?
Ten thousand an hour.
Would you like to go?
Damn! Ten thousand for a ten-minute job?
No thanks!
Now shut up and type what
I tell you below this photo.
Tell me.
Apply conditions.
Apply conditions.

Mamus commission 2,000.
No cash. Only UPI.
Offer closes by 9 PM.
Mamus call urgently.
What crappy English!
Hey, I studied in an
English medium school.
The teacher didn't know English.
Thats why I quit school.
Girls, are you happy?
, ?
Yes!
!
Ah, this guy is here too.
Hi Mams! Whats up?
Whats this, Jeevan?
Youre running around with two women?
Yes, Mams.
I'm so tired. Heavy workout, Mams.
When you have to strip
anyway, why bother dressing up?
Its my lifestyle, Mams!
.
Lifestyle!
-Alright.
Theres a new girl.
Would you like to see her?
I can't! I'm completely drained.
Okay, go.
Lets go, babes.
This is exactly what happened, sir.
Then his friend Hari called me.
He saw Devika's photo and approved of her.
He then told me that he has
a friend who's a director,
who wants to spend time with her.
Hari told me his friend is a
virgin and I must take care of him.
I mistook him to be a newbie, too.
But he's not.
This guy went into the room during day.
He didn't come out of the room until night.
Even after she died, he
continued being in the room.
He was running the whole show.
You enquire in your trademark style, sir.
Hell spill out the truth.
Come here.
The boss is calling you, come.
Sir.
Youre quite the player, huh?
Are you a director?
Yes, sir.
Do you direct porn films?
Sir, Ill tell you everything as is, sir.
It's true that I went to her
on the advice of my friend.
But I have nothing
to do with her murder.
Hes trying to frame me, sir!
Why would he frame you?
Sir, after I left,
six other clients of his went into the room.
But he's only naming
me and not the others,
as he wants me to
be framed in this case.
What?
He had six other clients too sir.
Hey rascal!
You killed her, but are now
blaming everyone else?
Theyre all premium clients.
You think the boss is
a fool to believe you?
Isn't it, sir?
Why did you slap me again, sir?
Six people?
Sorry sir!
I just found about it too.
Go on.
Take them and bring the others.
Hey you,
Trouble maker!
I'll beat you up!
No sir!
-Come now.
How dare you hide things from us!
Note down everything
he says. Don't miss a word.
Continue.
What should I say, sir?
You think you're smart, huh?
I took her number from my friend
and went to the lodge, sir.
Hari, I received the money.
I will handle the rest.
[Okay, mamu].
So when will you become a hero?
[Stop pulling my leg, mamu.]
[It's okay.]
[All stars are struggling]
Hold on a second.
Your director friend is calling.
[Okay, mamu.]
Hello.
I am Kamal. I got your
number from Hari.
The film director?
-Yes.
Where are you?
-I am in front of the lodge.
I too am near MM Lodge.
Is it?
Where are you, sir?
Raise your left hand.
Turn right.
I did.
Now do the Suryanamaskar!
Are you joking?
Not at all.
Just turn around, mister.
Come here!
Are you the director?
Yes.
Hari has told me
everything about you.
I heard you were depressed.
Yes.
This place is meant for guys like you.
If the mind has to feel fresh,
first the body must be refreshed.
So regular calibration is needed!
I have to make a call.
-Alright.
Hello.
Devika, I've credited the money.
Did you get it?
I did.
A client is here.
I will send him.
He's new to this.
Please handle him with
care and make him happy!
Alright.
[Okay, bye.]
Did you get the helmet?
My art director took the
helmet along with the bike.
I don't mean the kind
of helmet worn on the head.
Helmet to cover your bat!
I don't know to play cricket.
Damn!
I had heard a man must have life
experience to become a director.
But you seem like a kid
who's just started out!
A silent snake is more dangerous
than a donkey that brays, sir.
Okay.
Room no 501
Tell her mamu sent you.
You will be well taken care of.
Go on.
-See you.
Hmm.
This guy is quite sharp!
The silent ones are the most deadly.
I must be careful.
Bro, where's 501?
Have fun. Enjoy!
[You can't step out of the
room for two days, okay?]
What?
[All you need is right here.]
Two days for the two
thousand bucks you paid?
Shut up and pay the balance!
Who the hell is this guy!
Mamu--
Mamu, sent me.
Come.
Don't you know how
to close the door?
Sorry, Ill do it.
This room is so colourful.
Who is its art director?
What do you mean?
I mean who decorated this room?
The owner.
You look prettier in
person than in photos.
You could have been a heroine.
Mister,
finish what you've come for and leave.
I swear, I'm not lying.
If you walk in wearing a sari,
Ashika, Rashmika, Rachita, Leela
will look pale in comparison to you.
There's pain behind that smile.
Isn't it?
Is that so?
And how do you know?
I started out as
a dubbing artiste.
I need seventy thousand rupees.
Ill return it with interest.
Can you help?
I dont even have seven hundred bucks.
And you're talking about seventy thousand!
Then finish your job and go.
Dont bother me with your nonsense.
I didnt come here for the obvious.
Then what did you come for?
Ive suffered a lot in life.
And I have no family or relatives.
Thats why I came to
share my pain with you.
Listen,
I dont like to hear people's problems.
You're running out of
time. Don't waste it.
Fine. Ill ask for a refund and leave.
But you will have to put up with
both physical and mental torture.
Are you okay with it?
One minute.
Is storytelling your only job?
And you want me to listen?
Okay, go on.
Whats your name?
Why do you need to know
my name to narrate your story?
How can I share my story
without knowing your name?
Devika
Devika.
One moment.
Miss Devika,
At the outset, let me tell you
that I'm a director and producer.
I began directing a low budget
film with a fabulous story.
Guess who the heroine was?
My lover.
The hero was my enemy.
I had read that one must
keep their enemies close.
So I cast him as a hero.
I completed the film
and released it too.
First show was house full.
The second show was
a blockbuster flop!
During this painful time, my
lover fell in love with my enemy.
What was the name of your film?
"Odagana Ba." (let's elope)
I had planned a sequel, too.
It made me feel hopeless in life.
And I decided to commit suicide.
Will you listen to my suicide story?
Youll melt like a candle.
Fine, tell me.
So...
I don't care if your
film was a hit or flop.
Im giving you three days.
Settle the twenty lakhs I loaned you.
If not, I will have to
become the villain in your life!
Keep that in mind.
Come on boys.
I feel really sad to tell you
that you owe me three lakhs.
So?
So, I'll keep this camera.
Once you pay up, Ill return it.
I have the same dialogue.
But you owe me only two lakhs.
So until you settle my payment,
Go on.
Ill keep your
laptop and your bike.
What about you assistant?
You owe me dues, too sir.
So?
Hey rascal...
-Sir?
You'll become a director soon.
Of course sir.
But not a flop director
like you. I'll be a hit!
Damn you!
'Electric shock kills two'
Damn!
My plans have flopped just like my film.
What's up mister flop show!
All dressed up early in the morning?
Shah Rukh Khan watched
my film and liked it.
He wants a narration.
I'm headed there.
I went to narrate a story...
-Hold on a moment.
Hello.
Is the director done?
No, he's narrating a story.
What! A story?
Has he mistaken you to be a producer!
When will he finish? And when do
I send the next customer?
You send the customer,
Ill send him out.
Alright.
Ive got another
customer coming.
I have paid ten thousand rupees.
What you heard was not even
worth two thousand rupees.
Everyone wants to hurt me.
And now you are doing the same.
How am I hurting you?
I just said I don't have the
time to listen to your story.
I'll come when you wait for the next customer.
After that, Ive
got someone else.
So I'll narrate my story once they leave.
Okay fine.
Miss Devika.
Thanks a lot.
Youve got a big
What?
Heart.
He seems okay.
But a little off in the head.
Miss Devika.
Ill leave my bag
here. Anyhow Ill be back.
Take it.
This won't do. I'm not here to selll peanuts.
Mamu, try and understand the
struggles of young boys.
[Looks like nothing
happened between them]
One glass of tea.
Come tomorrow, Simple will be back.
Give me a cigarette.
Okay, Mamu.
What's up sir?
Take.
You claimed to be a dangerous snake!
And having found a snake charmer,
the dangerous one lost his bite?
You don't understand my problem.
Yet here you are making fun of me.
First time isn't it?
All men go through it.
Some have starting trouble.
Others have climax trouble.
Next time, well make it work.
My catalogue has the best-looking girls.
Once that guy comes
out, I'll go in again.
It's ten thousand per hour.
You got an opportunity to play,
but got ducked out instead.
I can give another chance
for a second innings.
But will she agree?
Dont worry. Ive
already convinced her.
I thought you were innocent.
But you're quite the opposite!
Once I came out, Mamu,
sent someone else in.
Hello,
Daddy, where are you?
Working, my dear.
Be home by 7 pm. My
friends are coming. Okay?
Sure my dear.
Dont be late because
of your work.
Okay.
I wont be late.
I'll be there.
Okay bye.
Bye.
So is he mister big shot?
-Yes, sir.
There's a miss big shot, too?
Not bad. You've managed
to catch them so fast.
The news of the murder isn't out yet.
They were all at home,
so we caught them easily.
But two others are missing.
Their phones are switched off.
Our crime team is on the job.
They will find them soon.
Inspector, I was in
the midst of a Kali puja.
Your constable brought us here.
If you come straight to
the point, I can go back to my puja.
[Kariswamy is acting a little too smart.
The inspector will show him soon enough.]
Who is this joker!
Inspector!
Dont underestimate me.
.
With my divine powers,
I can turn you into a monkey.
Do it!
-He's manhandling me!
Look, don't--
-Hey!
Now tell us why you
committed the murder.
Murder? And me?
Shantam Paapam (Let evil be averted)
With my divine powers,
just wait to see how I'll destroy you!
Goddess Kali!
Come to me!
-Give it here.
These people are
hurting your devotee.
Descend on earth.
-[He's done for.]
-[Chants a mantra]
Will you turn us into monkeys?
And you call me a PC!
How dare you threaten us!
Go on!
No lathi, please! Let me go now.
Sharanappa.
-Sir.
Escort him and give
a royal treatment.
Let's go.
No Swami.
You got me here in a jeep.
send me back the same way.
I don't need royal treatment!
Fine.
Spit out the truth.
Sir,
It was a cold morning.
Terribly cold.
And I received a text on my phone.
It was from our social worker, Mamu.
[Why is he mentioning my name?]
Our hands remain intact because of him.
He sent me a photo
of a beautiful woman!
The moment I saw her,
I got tempted, swami!
Slow down!
The minute Mamu sends
a photo, he gets ready!
You've seen so many women.
So calm down boy!
Relax now. Good boy!
The notes are smelling crisp!
Is it exorcism or witch craft?
Hey Mamu,
why are you bothered?
Ive paid you the money.
Tell me if the honey is ready.
Im in the mood for a honeymoon.
Don't ask me more questions.
Have you brought milk and fruits?
I've brought halwa, Mamu.
-Halwa?
Theres more energy
in halwa than in any fruit.
Want a bite?
No thanks!
You are here to suck
honey from the flower.
Retain that energy!
Go and enjoy!
Hello
Hello...
Hello...
Woah!
My heart has been pierced!
My heart has gone crazy!
Wow what a beauty!
Sexier than a
Kashmiri and Ooty apple!
Where was this doll
hiding all this while?
Huh? On earth!
Hey, Brahma!
Why did you hide this damsel from me?
Why?
You scoundrel!
Enough with your flattery.
Finish your job and leave.
Darling!
Do not hurry. Did you get tempted
by looking at my personality?
Take this.
Whats that?
New clothes.
I dont need them.
But I do.
I desire to see this damsel
transform into a doll!
What if I say no?
If you say no.
Well, the conditions apply
to you too; not just me.
If you dont co-operate,
I'll use my lifeline
and ask for a refund.
I'll use the lifeline!
A swan's walk is towards a frock!
Hey beauty!
Loose hair.
And red lip stick.
I want to see you so hot!
[Such morons, I tell you!]
No clothes needed!
Wow!
Come here my lovely,
lets eat halwa together!
Catch it!
Come.
That's all, sir.
I swear I'm not aware of
the proceedings after that.
You can even check with Mamu, sir.
Please, sir!
Sharanappa.
-Sir.
-Call that broker.
-Okay sir.
[After all that he's done,]
[look at how holier than thou
he's behaving around that girl!]
[Meet me outside,
I'll thrash you into pulp]
Hey you,
come in.
Me, sir?
Yes. Come with me.
[ I'll be back.
You'll have it from me.]
Come dude.
Sir...
-Come, Mamu.
Tell them I've done nothing.
You didn't do anything?
-That's not what I meant.
Tell them I didnt kill anyone.
They will turn me into pulp or else.
Sir, hes speaking the truth.
-Yes, sir.
When he came out,
the girl was fine.
Then that director went in.
He's poisonous like
an anaconda, sir.
Is anaconda venomous?
Isn't it sir?
Okay, then it's...
Cobra.
Yes, king cobra, sir.
If the cobra has venom in its
fangs, he has venom in his veins.
Call him in, sir.
He'll tell you the truth.
Call him, sir.
You guys think you're playing a relay?
Sharanappa.
-Sir.
Take this Kali swamy away
and find out what else he's been upto.
Okay, sir.
Sir, let me recite a few
holy verses to you!
Come on.
Tell him, Mamu.
Move
Sir, I'll tie you a protective amulet.
-I'll tie you up instead.
So mister director,
You still have a story worth
eight thousand to narrate.
Tell me.
Which is why I went back
in to finish the story.
Ive stepped out for work.
I will be back by 10 pm.
Bye.
Back again?
How can I not when you're
dressed so beautifully?
Okay, come.
You're here to write a
novel or narrate a story?
Not at all! But I'd like to say you
look like Sridevi in this outfit.
If Im Sridevi, then
are you Kamal Haasan?
But how did you
find out my name?
But my surname is not Haasan.
Kamal-Sridevi
Such a good title for a film.
Am I the heroine?
If you agree, yes.
And you are the hero?
No, Im not the hero.
I'll just direct.
I thought of calling Kamal
Haasan. But not this time...
Now its confirmed you're a director.
Wait, let me change.
This dress looks good.
To a lustful eye, everything seems desirable.
But for a woman who sells
her body against her wish,
those eyes feel like thorns.
Sit down. I'll be back.
I swear, I didn't understand
a word of what you said.
No need for you to
understand either.
Pass me that towel.
This is better.
Your costume sense is terrible
"Who are you pretty one?"
"Your allure is unlike any other."
"You're the poem that
has merged into my feelings"
"Who are you? Perhaps an illusion
who has returned to thrill?"
"Come and be my companion
on this journey of life."
"You are the one who brought
back the spark into my life"
"No matter what happens tomorrow,
you will be responsible for it"
"Who are you? Perhaps the light that
has re-ignited the life in my eyes
"You have brought in new glee... tell me,
do we even need this world anymore?"
"Who are you pretty one?"
"Your allure
is unlike any other."
"You're the poem that
has merged into my feelings"
"Who are you? Perhaps an illusion
who has returned to thrill?"
"Be my companion on
this journey called life"
"Because I am nothing without you"
Hey!
What's the matter?
Damn! Was there no shoot?
So Mr Director, which heroine
were you singing duets with?
Crp!
Did I end up playing the
hero instead of directing?
Such is the life of directors
-- they only dream!
Alright, back to reality.
Tell me honestly, which heroine
were you singing a duet with?
Nothing of that sort!
Dont lie.
I might not understand men,
but I'm well aware of how they think!
Im not like other
men. Im different.
Oh!
So, you're one of those!
Yes.
Hey,
I'm a man. Please don't think otherwise.
Explain "otherwise."
See, a woman is a feeling.
A man is a feeling, too.
Once those feelings unite,
even the bodies can become one.
And that union leads to birth.
I dont like forcing any of it.
Then why are you here?
To share my troubles.
Then get to the point?
Why the philosophy?
Okay.
So what happened after you
narrated the story to Shah Rukh Khan?
Did he agree?
I never went to pitch
to Shah Rukh Khan.
I lied to my owner.
I actually went for an
appointment with death.
Let me tell you how that went.
Oh god!
Oh no! This is terrible!
You scoundrel!
!
My head is intact?
So the lorry didn't go on me?
Who's that crazy fellow!
?!
You...
You idiot!
!
You wanted to die under my lorry?!
?!
You scoundrel!
I wanted to commit suicide.
Not be murdered!
Stop!
!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop!
Stop!
!
You'll surely die today!
.
So you started running away
from there like Milkha Singh!
If youd run in the Olympics, at
least you would've won a medal.
My story might sound comical to you.
Hello?
I sent another payment.
Did you get it?
Yes.
Shall I send the next customer?
Yes, send him.
This ones a bit different.
Adjust and co-operate.
Alright.
Has the director finished?
The first halfs done.
The second half is pending.
Ill give him an interval break.
You send the customer.
Alright.
First half and second half?
What is she referring to?
I wonder what's happening between them...
Sir, while I was inside, Mamu called
to say the next customers ready.
So I came out.
A filmmaker who preaches to society.
Don't you know committing suicide is wrong?
Whom did you send next?
He's sitting right here.
Call him in.
-Yes, sir.
Sir, it's not him, but her.
Never mind.
Mahadevi.
-Sir.
Bring her in.
Okay, sir.
Get up.
Whats your name?
-Johnny.
Age?
Stand here.
Name?
Nisha, sir.
What work do you do?
Author, sir.
I write crime-based novels.
What do you mean by crime based?
Murder mysteries?
And why did a crime
novelist go to a sex worker?
Sir, Ive started a novel
on sex rackets.
I went to see if I
could get some inputs.
The woman who gave
inputs is now dead.
And now you're one of the suspects.
So tell me what inputs
did she give you?
Tell me!
Why did you kill her?
No sir.
I didnt kill her.
I didnt even know her.
Mamu introduced me.
Hey!
Why is everyone trying to frame me!
Tell him.
He hits me for everything
that happens here.
Ive become the scapegoat for everyone!
Go on, tell him.
If you have money,
lend it to me, Mamu.
You haven't returned
what I lent last month.
I'll surely return.
-Where's she going!
Okay.
Hmm!
Are you the customer?
Why?
Am I not allowed here?
I expected to see another man.
Come on!
I hate men!
Sht!
Dont spoil my mood.
Do you smoke?
No.
I don't.
You're in this line of
work, and don't smoke?
Its fine.
Relax.
Ive paid for you.
So for the next hour,
you're my property.
Got it?
Calm down.
Calm down.
Why are you laughing?
Sorry sir!
You're amongst the educated
and respectable people in society.
You will encounter all kinds in a
place where sex work happens.
Didnt you think it
was risky to go there?
Yes, sir.
It was my mistake.
Men find pleasure with
women, and women with men
But for someone like me I can
only find pleasure with another woman.
Its a hormonal
problem in my body,
I can't help it, sir.
Im human, too.
And I have emotions.
But the society wont accept it.
I cant share everything
with my family or husband.
I can't even tell my friends as
they have a traditional mindset.
And I fear being
looked down on as cheap.
Yes it's true that I went
to her looking for pleasure
But I didnt kill her, sir!
Please believe me.
I didnt kill her.
Please, sir.
Calm down. Go sit.
Help her.
-Okay, sir.
Get up madam.
Sit here.
Drink some water.
Take.
Take her outside.
Okay sir.
Come, madam.
Oh no!
Seems like your story
could become a whole film.
What happened next?
Youre like the joker
in a pack of cards.
You'll find your way in
when you get the chance
Director, why are you out here smoking?
Once your work is done,
you must leave.
My work isnt over yet.
Youre like Mohammad Ghazni.
He attacked ten times, but never won.
Youve tried twice already and failed.
How many more chances do you need?
Once he comes out,
Ill go back to the battle.
Ive already told her.
You can't decide these things
on your own! What am I here for?
Im the line of control between you two.
You can't access her directly, okay?
Do I look like a joker to you?
Not possible.
An extra chance means extra money.
I'll pay you, don't worry.
-Do you mean it?
Why is she calling?
Tell me Devika.
Is the director there?
Yes, he's here.
Give him the phone for a minute.
Why don't you both
discuss and go to Maldives?
This won't work.
This is Muniswamy's rule.
It's not what you think.
Give him the phone.
Okay.
She wants to talk to you.
Hello, tell me.
If you don't mind,
can you get some Dettol, cotton, and
tincture from the pharmacy? Please?
Fine.
Whys he rushing
off after that call?
Whats going on between them?
Where's he running to?!
Give me Dettol and tincture.
What about bandage and scissors?
-Yes, those too.
What's he buying
at the pharmacy?
How much?
Four hundred rupees.
Okay.
This director is dangerous.
It's best to keep an eye on him.
What's up, Mamu?
Business seems to be good, huh!
You stocked up recently.
Is it over already?
You think I have no
better work to do?
What did that bearded
guy fetch from you?
He bought Dettol and tincture.
Dettol and tincture?
-Yes.
[If he's low on stamina, he must
take a tablet. Why Dettol and tincture?]
[Was he hurt?]
My god, what kind of
psycho bites like that!
Not a psychopath but a
psychopatni (a woman).
Patni!
You mean lady?!
Yes.
Plus and minus is okay,
Minus and plus is also fine, But
minus and minus? How does that work?
For some folks, even minus
and minus works as a plus.
And it's high voltage stuff!
Is it?!
-It's strange--
-Mr Director,
She bit my back.
I can't reach there,
can you apply the meds?
I feel fortunate.
Surely!
Sorry, just joking.
Give it.
Why did you go silent, director?
[So sad.]
Nothing like that.
She's psychopatni pro max!
She's forgotten you're a woman
and treated you worse than an animal!
Forget it.
Tell me your suicide
story; its better than this.
So, my story is ironical actually.
Take it.
Thank you director.
My whole plan
flopped like my film.
So I made a master plan.
What did you do?
I got poison that's more effective than
Tick 20 (repellant) and deadlier than a king cobra.
You had poison and survived?
I hadnt drunk it yet.
While I was on my way to consume it,
I passed by my hangout, Menaka bar.
And it welcomed me with open arms.
So you skipped the poison, went
for a drink and forgot everything, right?
No, I was prepared to die.
But poison is bitter to swallow.
So I bought some booze.
I thought I'll mix the poison
in it and head to heaven.
Just then, my hero Hari arrived.
Damn!
You guys won't even
let me die in peace.
Did you do the right thing?
Nope!
Wrong.
Despite knowing the struggles of an artiste,
do you feel what you did was right?
What the hell did I do?!
By promising to make me a hero,
you auditioned me,
did a photo shoot,
and then made someone
else the hero. Is that right?
Sorry, Hari.
You know how films work.
I had financial issues.
He invested 20 lakh rupees.
It's all done and dusted now.
The poor are always ignored, isn't it?
Forget it.
Your tension and my depression.
If I'm not fated to become a hero,
what can you do about it?
I'm extremely sad. Please let me be.
Sir, according to me, you can
handle pain in two ways.
One is to drink. The other
is to be with a woman.
Hari, Im not in the
mood. Leave me alone!
Ill fix your mood.
But...
I have a condition.
I'll tell you if you promise
to make me a hero.
Done. Tell me.
One minute.
What do you think of this
face! Just go to her!
Forget your troubles.
She will lighten your mood.
I don't do such things.
You're upset.
Just go there.
Shell listen to your troubles
and offer comfort.
Why would she care?
Because we will pay her.
But I have no money.
Who asked you for money!
I'll arrange for it.
Is that okay?
Fine.
You were prepared for hell
but reached heaven instead.
But youve wasted time
narrating your life story.
No, Devika. I had no one.
My pain was too deep to share.
I was like a kite
that is cut loose.
Now Ive found an anchor.
My mind feels light.
And I must thank Hari for this.
If not for him, my body would
have been in morgue by now.
Hello! It wasnt Hari
who listened to your story.
It's Devika.
Special salute to you too!
So what about your decision to die?
It changed because of you.
There are many who want to live.
But God doesnt give them that chance.
There are others who have a good life.
But they go chasing a death certificate!
Hello Devika.
Is the director still going at it?
No, hes done.
Thank god! Shall I send the next customer?
Okay.
Fine.
You have amazing energy!
You must be having energy drinks!
You seem so active!
Your time is up.
Fine.
Alright. On my way back,
should I get you anything?
Why would you come back?
What nonsense!
How can you ask me this question
after what I've shared with you?
Just wait.
Ill smash your
head with this lamp.
You mentioned about
smashing her with that lamp.
How many times did you hit her?
I was just joking, sir.
Joking?
Her murder is a joke to you?
Sharanappa.
-Yes, sir.
What time did he
take the scissors?
At 04:16, from Vinayak
Medicals, near the lodge.
She asked for Dettol and cotton.
Why did you take scissors?
The shopkeeper offered scissors
and bandage, so I took them.
And then?
Sir,
these are the reports of Devika.
Forensics indicate that her body is
severely damaged both inside and out,
Slash wounds, bite marks and severe head injury.
Heavy bleeding from scissor stabs.
This is the X-Ray report, sir,
Her neck and ribs are also damaged.
She was also raped by four
to five men before death.
This is FSL report, sir.
The fingerprints on the table lamp, the
scissors and Kamals fingerprints are a 100% match.
[The director is done for!
They will not spare him now!]
Anything to say now?
[C'mon confess!]
[Say it!]
[Spit it out!]
[I didn't do it!]
[I didn't do it!]
[Even with all this proof,
you want to fake innocence?]
[Just confess!]
Say it!
Go on, say it!
Talk!
-Sir.
Just put a snake in his undies
and he'll spit out the truth.
-Mind your business.
Do you want the same treatment? -No sir.
Confess!
PC sir
Hey!
He's thrashing him!
You are next.
No sir, please!
-You can predict the future, isn't it?
Only palmistry, sir.
You won't have hands to even wash up!
Spit it out!
Stop.
Hey
even with all the evidence,
you want to deny killing her?
Confess. Or else you'll
continue getting thulped.
I was prepared to die.
Why would I kill her, sir?
Stop.
Get him dressed and bring him.
-Yes, sir.
Sir!
Sir!
You sloth bear
It hurts sir!
what are you doing here,
instead of being in a forest?
What do you do?
Sir!
I am a student!
A student who skips
college and goes to lodges?
How old are you?
Eighteen. No twenty, sir!
Eighteen? Or twenty?!
-Sir!
I haven't applied hair oil, sir.
The roots are a bit damaged.
Drat!
You haven't sprouted a moustache yet.
And you want a woman!
It wasn't voluntary sir.
The doctor advised me to do so.
Which crazy doc told you that?
Dr. Kudure Babu.
Which Babu?!
Kudure...
Dr. Kudure Babu.
Doctor, If I fail the exams
this time, my dad will kill me.
Please help me.
Hey!
So you haven't give up mturbation?
Its getting worse!
I think it's the effect of all pn you watch!
I try not to doctor.
But the moment I open a book,
Sunny Leone and Mia
Khalifa start singing a duet.
What do I do?
You're addicted.
You already know the
theory of sex education.
Now it's time for practicals.
Once you realise there's
no big deal about sex,
youll lose interest
and become normal.
Really?
Ill give you Mamus number.
Tell him Dr. Kudure Babu sent you.
Hell take care of the rest.
-Okay, doctor.
Dont skip the practicals.
Mamus the medicine
for your illness.
Here, take it.
Mamu!
So are you the
chap Kudure Babu sent?
Yes, sir.
You look like you've just
crawled out of the cradle.
How long have you been on earth?
Eighteen or maybe twenty years, sir.
Be precise.
Eighteen or twenty?
How does that matter?
Will you get me married?
Quick, tell me where to go!
Take off your hand.
Listen, the government has
set an age to vote and have kids.
The law is strict. You will have
to rot in jail if you break it.
Nineteen years, sir.
Show me your Aadhar card.
Do I need it for such occasions, too?
I was unaware of it!
Go home and
bring an elder.
No way. Stop yapping and tell me
how much it would take to shut you up!
Hey!
-Please sir!
How dare you shout at Mamu!
One last time, sir!
I'll pay how much ever you want!
If my family finds out,
Ill lose all respect.
Ill pay extra, please!
Please!
Two thousand more
than the quoted price.
Oh! That's it?
Why didn't you say this earlier?
Here. There's an extra
two thousand bucks in there.
Which room?
Wait for a bit dude.
-Okay.
He's in a bloody hurry!
Hello, Devika.
-Tell me.
There's a customer
here. Shall I send him?
Okay.
Alright.
Room 501. She'll be there--
Room no 501!
-Hey!
I'll catch you later,
thank you!
I'm sure this chap will break
my teak wood cot today.
This way! Not that
way! Room no 501.
Take it easy bro.
I dont need room service.
Why the hurry?
No!
I'm not an attendant.
Who are you?
I'm a customer.
Are you the customer?
Okay, come.
Devika!
Devika! May you live
long Kudure Babu!
C'mon kiss me!
Madam, was that a
donkey that kicked me?
It wasn't a donkey,
but me who kicked you!
You?
-Yes.
Why madam?!
Why are you acting like a
restless cat, ready to pounce?
Go close the door first.
Oh!
Is that why you kicked me?
Then it's alright!
I was in a hurry
and forgot to close it.
Hail Kudure Babu!
Wait a moment.
I won't run away, relax.
Fine? Clothes off, pants
off, let undies be intact.
Shall I come?
Devika!
That's all I know, sir.
Once I came out, I
dont know what happened.
Karthik.
-Yes, sir.
Take him and break his instrument.
-Why sir?!
The horse should forget to neigh.
Sir!
-Kudure Babu, my foot!
Not just his instrument, sir.
Let's wipe off his existence!
Oh no sir!
What have I done sir?
I only followed the doctors advice!
It's not my fault sir.
Please, sir!
Sir!
-The fault isn't yours.
It lies with your parents.
Parents put all their troubles
aside to give you a life of comfort.
It is their fault.
And you do everything, except study.
Sexual desire is part of life.
But it doesn't define
your entire life.
If it becomes your only
focus, you will ruin your life.
Sorry sir!
It wont happen again.
Sorry!
[He may slap me again!]
Him, sir. It's him.
Who's calling?
Who else? It's Muniswamy.
Whats his problem?
The previous customer
complained that I didnt co-operate.
He looked like my younger brother
He wanted me to teach him to
switch gears and ensure a fun ride.
Oh!
That's true though. He's inexperienced!
A lad who can't ride a cycle,
can't be expected to drive a lorry!
I wasn't referring to you!
I meant him.
So how many such
characters do you meet in a day?
You've seen it all. And I
include you too in that list.
I told you I'm different.
How long have you
been in this field?
Didn't you come here to share your
experiences? Now you want to know mine?
Just for a change.
.
Why don't you share your joys and sorrows?
You will feel light. Im here to listen.
But I am not ready to share.
Why?
You're a director.
What if you steal
my story for a film?
If the storys good, Ill give you
a share from the revenue.
Would you really give me a share?
How much?
Will five lakh rupees do?
Really?
If the story is good,
I can promise you that.
Perhaps, God had a lot of time for me.
He's written an entire book dedicated to me!
More than I can even tell, actually...
I'm the guy who rewatches old serials.
So listening to your story
is no big task for me. Go on.
Hello.
Hello Devika, two
customers are ready.
Shall I send them?
Theyre like twin bananas.
They do everything together.
Be it booze or women,
they enjoy it together.
They look like rogues.
But, they aren't cheaters.
At one shot, twenty thousand rupees.
Are you okay?
I don't care about their looks.
As long as I get paid.
Send them.
Okay then.
I admire your stamina!
How much can you take?
How is it even possible?!
I can't help it.
I have commitments.
What is that commitment?
Customers are coming.
I'm a customer
too; but I get no respect.
Okay see you.
Then I left, sir.
Excuse me, sir.
You have a call.
Hello.
Daddy.
Tell me, dear.
The cakes here, it's huge.
Are you happy?
Full happy.
How long will you
take to come home?
Theres a thief-uncle
who's telling me a story.
Ill come as soon
as he finishes.
Come soon, bye.
Bye.
Stop right there.
Who are they?
The ones whose
mobiles were switched off.
They too had gone to Devika.
Sir!
Sir!
I suspect these guys, sir.
How the hell are you saying
that we committed the murder!!
If I slice you with my razor, even the doctor
will get confused on where to stitch you up!
Bro, it's a station, keep quiet.
-Shut up, dude!
What does he think of himself!
He's trying to frame us!
You scoundrel, I don't
even care if it's a station,
I'll chop you into pieces.
I've met many like you--
-Bro!
Listen to me.
-Let me go.
-Shut up, I'll speak.
Sir, its true that were rowdies.
We've been charged
of two 307 cases (attempt to murder)
But we've never committed
a 302 (punishment for murder).
Prison isnt new to us.
if wed killed someone,
wed admit it ourselves.
I dont need your case history.
Did you guys go there or not?
Yes sir, we did.
Ay!
Come here darling.
Wow!
She's smoking hot, bro!
The alcohol high has worn off.
Her hotness is giving me a better kick!
Round, plump
Her wholesome body
is like a well-rounded sheep!
If slow-cooked
into spicy biryani...!
Darling, what's your name?
Devika.
Devika.
Devika.
a.k.a Devadasi.
Superb!
!
Darling!
Do you drink?
Im not used to that
Just a little will do.
It's nice!
Hey!
You said no to the drink.
At least smoke with me!
I dont smoke.
Why darling?!
You're saying no to everything!
We've come here to have fun!
Don't ruin our mood, darling.
-Hey!
I dont like being touched like that.
Hey! What do you mean!
Your wish counts
only until you step in here.
After that, only our wish matters!
Didn't we pay you
twenty thousand bucks!!
What happened, bro?
Who the hell is she?
She's blowing the fuse even
before the game has begun.
Did she kick you that hard?
Almost knocked me out!
Damn you!!
How dare you hit my buddy!
I know exactly what to do with you!
Please don't!
Hello, Mamu.
What's up ATM,
calling me after ages?
Been busy. The photo
you sent me of that girl?
Well, her rate is
too high. Reduce it.
The rate is as
high as her beauty.
Alright, fine
Dont bargain like a beggar.
Is it?!
Anyway you're a guard at an ATM.
Just sneak out a few notes.
Might work well for you.
Fine, Ill think about it.
This ATM doesn't stop acting like
a teenager even in his eighties.
Crazy chap!
Hey Mamu!
Don't you have the sense to inform us
when a new chick enters the market?
Why dude?
Don't act smart with us!
Ill rip you apart!
Do you want to be
in the business or not?
If you want to stay here, remember this.
It's our last warning,
If you run the business by skipping
us, we'll ensure you're finished.
Got it?
Mamu, that aunty was the best!
As sweet as sugarcane!
Sucked all the juice!
Anyway, it's time for us to go
sign at the police station.
Bye Mamu!
Mamu! Mamu!
So many people die in accidents.
I wish these two would die instead.
What's up with this guy!
Thats about it, sir.
Then we went to Siddapura
station to sign, and headed home.
I swear on my mother,
we didn't do it, sir!
He may seem innocent sir, but he's trying
to frame us for what he's done!
Thrash him sir!
If the wife isn't willing, it's wrong
for the husband to force her!
How dare you torture
a woman you don't know!
How dare you torture her!
-Sir!
Sir!
-How dare you!
No sir!
Sir! Please don't!
-How dare you seek pleasure,
by torturing her!
Sir!
I'll smash your face!
Whos this?
Hes the senior citizen
we told you about.
He's one of the accused.
He was the first to spot the victim's body.
What's your name?
Venkata.
At your age, why did you go there?
Huh?!
Mamu!
[Why is this oldie taking my name?]
Mamu?
You saw the body first, right?
Yes.
Do you know how she was killed?
Answer!
Hey!
Yikes!
Damn!
Irritating chap!
Take him away!
Let's go.
Sir!
Sir!
Sir, you were right.
Looks like the ATM fellow
is on his way to the grave!
This director was planning to kill him too!
If I hadnt been there that day, it
wouldve been a double murder.
I swear on my mother! Ask him.
He'll confirm if it's true.
A woman is nothing but an object
to be used and enjoyed, right?
You rape, you kill, and then
come here with sob stories.
Isnt it?
Devika!
Devika!
Miss Devika!
Miss Devika!
Miss Devika!
Miss Devika!
Get up.
Get up, what happened?
Get up.
Please get up.
Miss Devika!
Get up.
I'll bring you water.
Take.
Here.
Have some water.
Drink some more.
Come.
It's fine, come on.
Carefully.
Be careful.
Come.
Carefully.
Why do you look so shocked, Mr Director?
What did you expect?
My heart skipped a beat
seeing you in that state.
I will not die so soon.
I've go many dreams to fulfil!
I'll get it.
One moment.
Mamu's calling.
Hello.
Hello, Devika. All okay?
Im fine. Why would
you think otherwise?
I know,
youre like an iron lady.
Ive never seen someone
with your kind of experience.
Theres another customer,
should I send him?
He will be your seventh and final customer.
Alright, send him.
But hell be half an hour late,
is it okay?
Fine, no problem.
Okay.
Another one?
Whats gotten into you?
I thought you were the crazy one.
And you're asking if I'm crazy!
So funny!
You're ravaged and almost lifeless!
And you still want another man!!
Are you a sex worker or some sex maniac!
Sorry
Why mister director?
Cant you sense the
pain in my voice now?
So mister director,
you got scared, huh?
Why not?
Your acting skills are like Soundarya.
You can scare people with your laugh!
What pleasure do
you get from drinking?
It eases tension.
And relaxes the body and mind.
Really?
-Yes.
Pour me a little. I could use it.
Fine.
You certainly need it.
Because men have
this rotten habit of drinking,
so many womens'
lives have been ruined.
Still, men drink and
destroy them further.
Whats in this drink anyway?
Ill see for myself.
Please get back to work
tomorrow. Take it easy today.
You look exhausted.
How do even drink this!
What's your burden? Why are
you troubling yourself so much?
You really want to hear my story?
Yes.
No its ugly. Very ugly!
That doesnt matter.
I want to hear it.
Fine.
Pour me another and I'll tell you.
What's my name?
Devika.
No
thats a lie.
My name is Sridevi.
Sridevi?
Yes.
I have a small family,
My little daughter, Dhruthi,
and my ageing mother.
We may lack money,
but aren't short of love.
They're my world.
-Bye.
Bye.
Mom, close your eyes.
Don't open till I tell you
What's my cute baby writing?
Wait, I'll tell you.
Yeah!
This is you and this is me.
What's this?!
Sweetie!
Give it.
This is you and this is me.
Muah!
Children mean the world to their parents.
It's the same with me.
My daughter means everything to me.
"A golden smile, beautiful as
the moon, the light of my life."
"In a river of tears, I found
heaven, because you're my goddess."
"Your happiness makes me forget my pain."
"You are my world, my reason
to live, you're my life's blessing"
"I will always be with you
as your guardian angel"
"I will walk beside you and
give life to your every dream."
"My little treasure of love,
you are my life's light"
"You are my reason to live
you're my life's blessing"
"I will always be with
you as your guardian angel."
"A golden smile, beautiful as
the moon, the light of my life."
"In a river of tears, I found
heaven, you are my goddess."
Mom, don't be late in the evening.
Please come early.
I want to play with my friends...
MOM!!
Dhruti!
Dhruti!
Dhruti!
Mom!
Dhruti!
Dhruti!
Wake up, dear!
Dhruti!
Somebody call an ambulance!!
Dhruti!
Call an ambulance!
Dhruti!
Sister!
Wait a minute.
Wait, madam.
"A golden smile"
"As beautiful as the moon"
Doctor, how is she?
Who are you to the patient?
I am her mother.
Madam,
the blow to her head has
damaged her nervous system.
Theres a blood clot in the brain.
We must operate immediately,
as the chance of her
going into coma is high.
How much will it cost?
Around six lakh rupees.
Arrange it quickly.
Ill need some time.
Theres no time.
Arrange it now,
as her lifes at risk.
This happened in front
of your construction site.
Don't spin these tales to me.
Go and file a complaint.
I will compensate
after it's proved.
I tried my level best,
I can't help you beyond this.
You can ask someone else.
This is all I can arrange,
please adjust.
[Is this all I get for these ornaments?]
But sir, my bike is not that old.
Doctor!
-Hmm.
Wait a minute.
-Take this.
I'm short of seventy thousand rupees.
Please proceed with the surgery.
I'll pay the balance soon after.
Please save my daughter's life.
This isn't a government
hospital to negotiate, madam.
It's a corporate hospital.
Treatment will only be
after settling the bill.
It's our hospital's rule.
Tell me after you arrange the pending
amount, and I'll prepare for surgery.
I paid all the money I
arranged to the hospital.
And struggled to arrange
the pending seventy thousand.
I begged my relatives and neighbours.
Some helped,
others didnt.
With no options left, I
stood at the bus stand
and thats when Muniswamy
appeared like he was god sent.
He told me if I sold my body, I
could get the money immediately.
I don't care about my body.
All that matters to me is my daughter!
That's the reason,
I left everything to
God and came here.
Dhruthi is the only one who matters to me!
Now tell me,
..was I wrong?
Was I wrong, director?
Director!
Was I wrong?
No.
What happened director?
Did my story bore you?
I too have heard many tales.
But I assumed that cinema
and life are different.
But your life...
Despite so much pain,
how are you still so calm?
Life keeps teaching you;
you just have to keep learning.
But Devika--
Sorry, Miss Sridevi.
Don't you have a husband?
All the men who came
here paid and left satisfied.
But my so-called husband
forgot he had a wife and home,
and came to me only to fulfil his desires.
Hes as good as dead to me.
If he was a good provider,
why would I be here?
I tried ending my life
for just one problem.
But your life is just
filled with problems.
Director, youre a good man.
You drank with me
and listened to my story.
I never thought Id find a friend
like you in such a place!
I dont know how to thank you.
Hey, even if you ask me to
jump off this building, I'll do so.
But dont prick me with your words.
Theres pain in your voice too,
What is it? Tell me.
Hello.
[Devika, the customers
here , shall I send him in?]
Fine, send him.
Okay.
Enough I cant watch
you suffer anymore.
You just need the money, right?
Ill arrange it. Lets go to the hospital.
I asked you when you first came.
I even told you Id return
the money with interest.
You told me that you didnt have 700
bucks, let alone 70,000 rupees.
How will you get it now?
Why do you care?
You need the money, right?
I can trade my life for the money! Let's go.
Are you showing me sympathy?
I'm not that cruel to have you
trade your life for the amount.
This isnt the time for an argument!
Lifes already turned in this direction.
One more man on
my body won't kill me.
Please understand, Sridevi
Kamal,
I'll have the satisfaction of
earning the money I needed.
I thought youd understand that.
Please dont force me.
No matter what you say, I won't
change my decision. Please leave.
Please Sridevi!
They say God only gives a
good heart to good people.
And you have it.
Whatever you do, it will
turn out well for you, Kamal. Go now
Hello mom...
Hello.
Hows Dhruthi?
Sleeping.
Where are you?
Its been so long and
you still havent returned
Im coming.
Ive sent money to the hospital.
Go to the doctor and
arrange for the operation.
Alright, Im going.
ATM, seems like you did
pull off the job I told you to?
What's up with you?!
If a guard himself loots,
the job will get a bad name.
Then how did you
get these crisp notes?
I'm giving you
my month's salary.
Is it right to hand over a months
salary for a moment's pleasure?
What can I do?
Look...
Even if the tree ages,
the tamarind still stays sour.
When the body grows old,
it still asks for many things.
Those desires must be fulfilled, right?
You've lost your teeth, have a rod in
your leg, yet your lust didn't fade!
Smarty pants!
There.
Where?
Is that butterfly colorful?!
Dont grab the honey, itll
drip down by itself. Go on.
Director, your face
looks like a bruised brinjal.
You look like youve
been through a full workout.
The engine will get jammed if
you go on an overdrive mode!
Whose lucky face did
I see this morning, dude!
I've already made a
weeks collection in one day.
If the iron lady stays with
me, my life will be set.
Damn you!
Please leave me!
ATM, did you go to
other room in excitement?!
Hello, Mamu!
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
What!
O god!
Sridevi!
Sridevi!
Sridevi!
Sridevi?!
[Isn't she Devika?!]
Sridevi!
Sridevi!
What did you do?!
-Mamu!
Mamu!
Answer!
I didn't...
I didn't...
..do anything.
-Hey!
She was dead already.
[This is you, this is me]
Hey! Why did you kill her?!
You killed her! Why are
you trying to beat him up!
Why would I kill her? She
was fine when I left the room.
She was killed after he entered.
He looks like he will die any time now!
Why would he kill her?
How? I'll show you.
Why did you kill her?!
-I did not!
Why did you kill her?! Answer me.
Answer me.
-Let him go.
Answer!
-Leave him!
Let him go.
-Answer me.
Sir, Ive spoken to Devika's
neighbours and colleagues.
She was a good woman, sir.
She never fought with anyone.
She'd do her work and go home.
But her husban was
a drunkard and a gambler.
He comes and goes at will.
His phones been switched off.
Our team is tracing him.
That director is
telling the truth.
Devikas daughter is undergoing
treatment at the hospital.
We've traced all the mobiles.
Johnny, Nisha, Naga,
Manja and Kamesh.
Once they left, their mobile tower locations
indicate they are at different places.
None of them came
near the lodge again.
After Devikas phone got switched off,
Mamu, ATM, and Kamals
location remained near the lodge.
Looking at the security guards condition,
he couldnt have beaten
someone so brutally.
That director is
playing games with us.
No matter how much we
beat him, he wont confess.
Get down.
This is where I first met Mamu, sir.
Walk faster.
Sit.
Do you pen the stories for your films?
Yes, sir.
How many stories
have you written so far?
Four.
And what about the
one you're telling us?
Sharanappa.
-Sir.
What do we do with him?
Lets write a new story, sir.
Narrate it so that
he can understand.
We have brought the accused
to recreate the crime scene.
Then the accused tries to escape,
and attempts to kill the officers on duty.
He was encountered in an act of self defence.
Is it okay, sir?
So that's the end to your story.
The End.
Karthik.
-Sir.
What do you take us for?
That wed believe
your bedtime stories?
You have two minutes.
Decide if you want to confess
how you killed her or die.
Sharanappa.
Sir.
Watch him.
Why do you want to die?
Just confess the truth.
Sir?
Theres a CCTV camera
have you checked the footage?
Sorry, sir, I didnt
notice. Ill check.
So you still wont confess?
Don't you fear death?
Sooner or later
everyone will die, sir.
Apart from feeling sad that I
will die for a crime I didn't commit,
death doesnt scare me, sir.
Dialogue!
We have all the evidence
related to the recent murder.
We know the killer, too.
Move it!
Sir!
-Sir!
Sit down.
I am fine, sir.
Sit down.
Whats your name?
Ashok, sir.
Do you know her?
No, sir.
I don't know her.
Sir, she's my wife.
But...we aren't together now.
On 22 November, at 9:30 PM,
your wife was murdered at MM Lodge.
Where were you at the time?
I was at a movie with friends.
Is this the
same film that you watched?
Was it good?
Will you confess or
should we make you do it?
I was playing cards with friends
in Room 401 at MM Lodge.
Damn! Why is she pestering me!
Every night we
used to hear moans,
But that day, we heard
moans since afternoon.
Damn! What's this sound, Gilli?
-My 1000 rupees bet.
Wait, mine is a 2000 bucks bet.
We hear this every day.
This is a place for lovers!
It's an old lodge, so
it's not exactly sound proof.
Dont bother, just play.
I'll be back in a minute.
Director, youre a good man.
You had a drink with me
and listened to my story.
I never thought Id find
a friend like you in this place.
I dont know how to thank you.
Damn her!
Quickly finish your
work and leave.
I dont have time.
How long has this been going on?
Wheres that scoundrel?!
Where's he?
Who?
Huh!
That man who has been
with you since morning.
Besides,
how dare you tell
me that time's up?
You bich!
You useless scoundrel,
had you been a good husband,
why would I even be here!
So, you came here to
enjoy with strange men? BH!
Not only do you lie with strangers
but also bad mouth your husband?
You come for the good times
and run away during tough times.
And now you come to beat me up?
Beat you?
Ill kill you today!
You cannot take care
of your wife and child,
and now you dare beat her up?!
What did you say?!
You will die today...
Bich! How dare you
play games with me!
That desperate, huh?
Youre not fit for marriage.
Youre only fit for adultery.
Please don't!
I am feeling dizzy,
Are you feeling dizzy?!
Want to go to a hospital?
Bich!
Do you fancy other men?!
Hey!
Hey!
I couldn't bear to see my
wife with another man.
So I beat her to death.
Damn you!
Even without knowing
the truth, you killed her!
Hey Kamal, leave him!
Hey! Get him away.
Leave me!
Let him go.
Leave me, sir.
It's okay if I'm called a
murderer, I wont spare him!
Pull him out!
Hey Kamal!
Let him go.
Let me go sir. I
have to kill him.
Leave him.
Let me free sir.
Hold him!
What do you know about her?!
-Kamal!
Come this side.
Come here.
Let me go!
You killed her for nothing! N-Hold him tightly.
Leave me, sir.
-Stay quiet.
-Leave me, sir.
Congratulations director.
Youve made a good film.
Good job.
.
Hold him.
I can't help it.
Such is our work.
We have to suspect everyone.
It's fine.
Dont take it to heart.
It's okay, sir.
.
Good luck.
.
Thanks for coming, sir.
. !
Uncle.
Where's mommy?
Muah!
So Mr Director, finally made
a film on my life, huh?
So where's my share?
Ah never mind!
Even if you dont give
me the money, its alright.
Just take good
care of my daughter.
Somehow, Ill come back
and repay my debt to you.
You are the goddess who gave
a hopeless man the will to live.
I owe you far more
than you owe me.
Uncle,
it's time, shall we go?
In the story you narrated,
why didnt tell my mother
that you love her?
I couldnt say I love
you to your mother.
So I say it to you instead.
