Lucky Baskhar (2024) Movie Script
1
ALTHOUGH THE STORY TAKES PLACE
ENTIRELY IN MUMBAI, ALL THE CHARACTERS
SPEAK IN TELUGU FOR THE CONVENIENCE
OF THE TELUGU AUDIENCE.
Get tea for me.
Yes.
The calmness in the sea
is seldom seen in the people.
They just keep running.
And the reason?
Money.
There are many ways
to make money in this city.
Jobs, business, politics, lobbying, films,
settlements, and many other ways.
But all these ways
lead to Dalal Street.
The care of address
to the 29-story BSE building.
Welcome to Bombay.
The money capital of India.
- Here you go, Baskhar brother.
- Thank you.
Harsha bhai said that the Bluemoon shares
will increase in a week.
He was right!
Harsha bhai, alias Harsha Mehra.
BSE's power player.
The big bull.
If the stock market is a sea,
he's the whale.
Ninety percent of newspaper buyers
read the front page and the sports page.
He got those people
to read the business page.
He introduced the stock market
to petty shopkeepers and auto drivers.
He showed eyes afraid to dream
how to make dreams come true.
But
this story is not about him.
It's about me.
My name is Baskhar.
Mr. Baskhar
I'm Lakshman Rao.
Chief Investigation Officer from CBI.
You need to come to the bank with us.
- Bank? But, I'm
- You have to come.
- Sir, I'll take a bath
- Did you brush your teeth?
That'll do. Get in the car.
Let's go.
- Open up.
- Hey! Who are you?
CBI!
Open, I say.
- Ramji, open it.
- Sir, you! Okay, sir.
- Security, turn on the lights.
- Okay, sir.
- Pull out the account statement.
- Okay, sir.
You sit here.
Print out all of
Baskhar's bank statements.
Okay, sir.
What's all this, sir?
I'll come straight to the point.
There are allegations against you
regarding the misuse of bank funds.
That you are involved in securities
and bank receipts fraud.
That's why CBI is here
to inquire about that matter.
Hello?
Sir, it's your wife.
Sumathi?
CBI, it seems. They are raiding the house.
It's a mayhem!
Don't worry.
They are doing their duty.
Cooperate with them.
I'm hanging up.
Where do we begin?
- Security!
- Yes, sir.
- Turn on the generator.
- It's under repair, sir.
How long is it going to take?
We need an electrician.
It might take 30 minutes.
- Fetch him quickly.
- Should I leave after serving you tea?
Hey! Take care of the fuse first.
Okay, sir.
Where do we begin?
My name is Baskhar Kumar.
I'm a cashier at the Magadha Bank.
My salary is 6000 rupees.
I owe the bank 36000 rupees.
Magadha Bank.
Ours is one of the few private banks
that escaped nationalization in 1980.
This is our current chairman.
Rajbir Lokhande.
Okay, sir.
Latha ma'am.
Did your daughter recover from fever?
- Yes, she's better. Thank you!
- That's a relief!
The sweets you gave me yesterday
were delicious, ma'am.
- Everybody at home loved them!
- Thanks, Baskhar!
This is Regional Manager Himanshu Sir.
Very short-tempered.
- Everything alright?
- He's such a bother.
Really proud of you.
- Good job, Baskhar. Good job.
- Thank you, sir.
Try to get more FDs for the bank.
Your growth lies in the bank's growth.
Assistant Regional Manager,
Athish Kulkarni.
He's due to retire in a month.
If I meet the year-end targets,
Himanshu sir promised he'd
strongly recommend me for that post.
- Did Mr. Narayanan come?
- No, sir.
- Hasn't come yet?
- Sorry, I'm late.
Mr. Narayanan, Vault Manager.
Arrives late, leaves the bank early.
Okay, sir.
- How much?
- 25 lakhs, sir.
These are the bank ledgers.
We maintain the bank accounts in these.
We enter the data into the computer
every month-end.
We submit a report
to the RBI every six months.
Baskhar, a prospective suitor is coming
to meet our daughter this evening.
I need to leave early.
You must handle depositing
the cash in the vault.
Okay, sir.
- Good morning, Baskhar.
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, Baskhar.
- Good morning, ma'am.
GM Vinod sir and AGM Srikanth sir.
The main pillars of the bank.
I've been the best employee
for the past three years.
I'm proud of these awards.
Maruti 800. My favorite car.
The bank seized it from a loan defaulter.
It's been here for the past six months.
To purchase that, you first need to repay
the outstanding loan.
Samba, my best friend.
We studied together till the tenth grade.
I passed and became a cashier.
He failed to become a peon.
My partner in crime.
I've got a side business too.
Hundreds visit the bank daily.
Many don't even know
how to write a check.
- Write it yourself.
- Next.
- Could you fill out this form?
- Next counter.
I help such neglected customers
for a nominal fee.
My name is Anthony.
And this is my loan application.
- How much is the loan amount?
- Two lakhs.
- What's the collateral?
- Nothing, sir. Everything is gone.
I've got a port trading license card.
This won't do.
- Sir. Please, sir.
- Next!
This is the colony where I live.
I'm sought after by a lot of people here.
Not because they like me.
But because I owe them.
Seven hundred and fifty.
Five hundred and sixty.
A thousand rupees to her.
- To the guy who's shouting 1200 rupees!
- Baskhar bhai!
- Patel Bhai, 10,000 rupees.
- Money! When will you return my money?
I need some more time. Please.
- Shut up! You moron!
- Bhai.
If you don't pay at least
the interest next month,
I'll show you what I am!
Sure, bhai!
Next month for sure.
- Get lost! Go!
- Definitely! Thank you, bhai.
This is my house in Bombay's townside.
My father built it.
A brother studying engineering.
This is not for me.
A sister pursuing a degree
simply as a pastime.
Mom. She left us in childhood.
Father. Prahlad Kumar.
Once a renowned
Chartered Accountant in Bombay.
But now a nobody.
He invested in a business with friends
ten years ago and got duped.
He suffered a paralysis stroke.
The pain of being deceived
made him stop talking to everyone.
Despite all my hardships
and living in borderline poverty,
she chose to marry me
even against her family's wishes.
Sumathi. My strength. My wife.
She dreams of setting up
a home foods business one day.
This is freshly made.
- Here you go.
- Hi, Mom!
- And this is my six-year-old son, Karthik.
- Daddy!
- How was school?
- It was good!
Fifty rupees.
- Shall we change?
- Yes.
And the masters of the universe.
- He-Man!
- Karthik!
Put on this T-shirt.
The same T-shirt every day.
You'd look like a hero. Put it on.
If you're late, you'll miss
Arun brother-in-law's cake cutting.
- Are you ready?
- Almost.
- Okay.
- Hey.
- Wear it.
- Should we buy a gift on the way?
Mom has asked to wear this.
A gift?
Buying a gift
Mom! Can I play with the He-Man toy?
He-Man toy, Mom!
Thank you, Karthik.
Poor thing! Did you give away his toy?
It's alright.
I told him we'd buy a bigger toy
for his next birthday. He agreed.
How can you be so late, dear?
Greetings, mother-in-law.
Come.
I have to talk with you.
All are here. Please come fast.
Greetings, Mr. Ramesh.
All good? How are you, dear?
- Hello, how are you?
- Hello.
- Hello, brother-in-law.
- Hello, brother-in-law.
Mr. Rao! Greetings!
Why are you late, sir?
I asked you to inquire
about the home foods business. Have you?
Yes, but he mentioned
there's an existing loan.
He plans to take another one
after repaying it.
Right! That's going to happen.
And your life's going to change.
Listen to me
and come home with your child.
Your brother will show you a way.
- You are still young, so getting married...
- Mom!
What nonsense!
Without any thought or context!
- Can I have a bigger piece, sister?
- This is what you deserve.
Karthik!
He's a kid, right?
I was afraid he'd waste it.
- I'll get you another piece, Karthik.
- Set the plate down.
But Mom, the cake
Set the plate down.
Baskhar. Come, let's go.
- I'm speaking to brother-in-law.
- There's no need. Let's leave.
- What's wrong?
- We'll take leave, brother.
- Sumathi.
- Hey, stop. What's wrong?
What's wrong, Sumathi?
Why are you leaving?
Eat something before you leave.
I'm already full.
- What happened?
- No clue, mother-in-law.
- Three vada pav please, brother.
- Twelve rupees.
- Mom, hurry. I am starving.
- Wait, he's getting it.
- He'll bring it.
- Make it two.
Hurry!
Give me the money, sir.
Here. Three vada pav.
- Thank you.
- We'll settle this later.
Thank you, brother.
I'm hungry. I need another one.
Take this one too.
But what about you?
I've eaten. Have it, dear.
What's wrong, Sumathi?
Sumathi. Hey!
Look there, dear.
The girl is dancing so well.
Will you go there and eat?
Go.
They don't even like to feed our kid
and they're supposed to be my people.
Only because we are poor, right?
Money brings respect, love,
and everything.
Let's earn.
I, too, will earn.
Get me a loan. I'll earn a lot
with my home foods business.
That will teach them a lesson.
Eat first.
I'm not hungry. You eat it.
Don't lie.
- Stop fooling around.
- Didn't you fool Karthik?
Alright. Half-half?
I don't want anything.
Enough of the anger, my dear lady
Calm down a bit, my gentle lady
With a daisy-like smile
That's disarming
Even when frowning
You look so charming
In moments of joy
If we forget our sorrow
Who's to stop the happy tomorrow?
Enough of the anger, my dear lady
Calm down a bit, my gentle lady
Your words are soft as butter
End the sulk, don't stutter
Why do you belittle
The language of silence?
Those waves and trees
They beg you to ease
They tell me to melt
As if nothing is felt
Can't win an argument with you
O' charming lady
Enough of the teasing, dear sir
In the end, you men always win
- This fool is not understanding.
- He'll take care of it.
Wonderful!
- Good job.
- Thank you, sir.
Daddy!
- Hey!
- But the scooter is right here, ma'am.
- Isn't he here, Mom?
- No.
He went by bus today.
What is this, ma'am?
This soothing cool breeze won't return
Being with you, I never lack a thing
See, even the day agrees
Happiness is just you and me
Yet you play your usual game
But I wish you'd quit the same
With you, I forget the world
You're wonderful, dear sir
This Mrs. approves of you for sure
- Happy retirement, sir.
- Thank you, Baskhar.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you, sir.
What's up, dude?
Is the chair calling you?
What would your salary be
as an assistant manager?
At least 12000 rupees.
Wow! All our issues would be solved.
I first need to buy
you a good necklace.
That can wait.
- Sir.
- Go, I'll handle it.
- Greetings, sir.
- Yesterday, you
- Anthony, sir.
- I said it's not possible, right?
- Sir, just once Please, sir.
- Samba. Deal with this.
I'll settle this by the time
you bring a dilkush. Go, sir.
- I asked him to come.
- Why?
It seems his stock got stuck at the port.
He says if we release it for two lakhs,
we can sell it in the market
for double the money in an hour.
And what would that be?
Hope it's not drugs.
No, sir.
Electronics.
TV sets.
The ship's name is Casablanca.
The ship's captain, George,
is a good friend of mine.
With his help, I imported
30 TVs from Malaysia.
They are worth 2,50,000 rupees.
And 50,000 was the advance.
We had a deal to pay the full amount
at the time of delivery.
My financiers backed off.
I couldn't arrange the money.
I offered to pay him
after selling the goods,
but George doesn't agree.
You have one month.
Pay up and take the stock.
He threatens to auction the goods
if I don't pay in time.
Please show me a way.
I understand your pain.
But this is a bank.
Rules don't allow it.
Sir, come back after smoke.
Please go, sir.
Why not ask your brother-in-law?
He earns a lot in real estate.
He doesn't even consider me a human.
Why would he lend me two lakhs?
Tell him we'll pay three percent interest.
And?
We'll give him a ten percent interest.
We can earn 20,000 in a day.
That's fine by me.
Done smoking already?
You haven't given me the matchbox.
My brother-in-law
definitely won't give me any money.
And this Anthony is not letting me go.
I need to escape this somehow.
Alright, let me think about it.
This is my visiting card, sir.
Call me anytime
and I'll be here within five minutes.
Bye, sir.
Patel bhai!
How are you?
What's happening?
Are you trying to outsmart me?
How many times do I visit your house?
No, brother.
I'll get promoted in a day or two...
Stop it!
Are you pulling a hoax
on me again?
How many times will you say this?
You've said this so many times.
- I trusted you every single time!
- Patel bhai, not here, please.
Come on, give me my money!
Give me my money!
Wallet! Wallet! Wallet!
Bring me your wallet!
- Where is your wallet?
- Patel bhai
Bring me your wallet!
Give it to me right now.
Make it fast!
- I'll give it.
- Make it fast, man.
- Bhai The purse...
- Damn! Even this is empty.
How will you give my money?
How will you ever repay it?
Scooter! Scooter!
Scooter keys!
- Give me the scooter keys!
- Bhai
- I need my scooter, bhai. Please.
- Scooter Give me the keys to it.
- Scooter keys!
- Bhai please leave it!
- Give me your scooter keys!
- I need to go to work, bhai
- Bhai No.
- Scooter keys! Scooter keys!
Clear the interest
and take your scooter.
Patel bhai, please.
Move away!
- Taxi! Brother, stop.
- Where are you headed?
- Will you drop me at Colaba?
- It will be 20 rupees.
How much will you give?
Greetings.
Good morning, everybody.
The new assistant regional
manager of Magadha Bank, Colaba
is Mr. Sudheer Chatterjee.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I'm really sorry, Baskhar.
I was sure you were
going to be the manager.
Your name was
on the list till yesterday, Baskhar.
Good morning, sir.
Sorry, Baskhar. I tried my best.
It was GM's call.
It's okay, sir.
It's unfair, man!
The regional manager deliberately
blocked your promotion.
Let it go. The decision
was up to the General Manager.
Poor Mr. Himanshu, what will he do?
How long will you trust
that good-for-nothing guy?
Check this out.
I found this while cleaning
GM sir's room a while ago.
Can you see your name here?
Besides Sudheer's,
is there another name?
They are both Bengalis belonging
to the same caste.
They say he must have also taken a bribe.
Come, Baskhar.
Where did you find this?
Sir, I was the Best Employee of the Year
for three years.
And I never missed
a single day at the office.
What's my mistake here?
Sir, please explain what
I could have done more.
It's not like that. Just listen to me.
Did you know how many FD accounts
I opened for the bank?
I did everything you asked, sir.
I put my blood into it.
Didn't you at least feel like
mentioning my name?
Can you stop being emotional?
Please have a seat.
You said you were
proud of me just yesterday.
There were a lot of permutations
and combinations involved in this.
That's how we took this decision.
What permutations
and combinations, sir!
He's a Bengali, and I'm not.
Isn't that it?
Enough!
Stop it!
Not another word.
Just because I've been lenient,
don't take advantage of that.
Leave the door open.
Everyone should listen to
what I'm about to say.
Does everyone here think that
I favored him because he's a Bengali?
Look at me.
He's better than you.
He has opened more FD accounts
in this bank than you have.
That, too, they're higher-valued deposits.
Besides, he didn't run a parallel
business like you did sitting in a cafe.
No, sir.
It's not what you think.
- I was helping the customers.
- What?
Do you think I'm unaware of your
petty business at that Irani Cafe?
Do you even realize
what you're doing is illegal?
Do you know what will happen
if I inform the GM about this?
- Should I tell him?
- Sir Sorry, sir!
- Leave it, sir.
- Why should I leave it?
You made such a strong
accusation against me!
You have accused me of favoring
people based on caste and region!
Sir, I said that
in the heat of the moment.
Let me tell you one thing.
You needed an emergency room
in one day. Who got it for you?
- This Bengali!
- Sorry, sir.
You received an extra 500 rupees
increment in the middle of the year.
Who got it for you?
This Bengali!
- I'm grateful, sir. Sir. Please, sir.
- No, you're not grateful at all.
- No. No. No. You're not grateful.
- Sir
- Stop doing all this stuff!
- Sorry, sir.
Cut the drama.
Let's settle this with the GM.
- I'm very sorry, sir.
- Stop it, I say.
- Don't fall at my feet. Stop it!
- Please, sir.
- Enough! Enough! Just stop this crying!
- Sorry, sir.
Sir, sir, sir.
Have some mercy.
He realized his mistake.
Please forgive him. Please, sir.
His career will be at stake
if you file a complaint, sir.
- Spare him, sir.
- Please, sir.
Yes, sir, please let it go.
He is apologizing, right?
Okay, now.
Stop crying.
Work hard like Sudheer,
you too will grow.
I'll leave this matter here.
Now please take him away.
- Okay, sir. Baskhar
- Sorry, sir
Let's go.
I'm very sorry, Sudheer.
Samba.
I have a terrible headache.
Please bring me some strong tea.
Is the Vimal Group's DD ready,
Latha ma'am?
Latha ma'am?
I'll send it with Samba
as soon as it's ready.
- It's not done yet.
- Okay.
Mr. Narayanan, haven't you left yet?
Yeah, I'll leave
after giving the file.
I'll take care of it.
You leave.
Give me.
- Here's your tea.
- Thanks, buddy.
Next.
- Here's your file.
- Keep it there.
Who's next?
Baskhar
- Is everything fine?
- It's superb!
Hey, clean it properly.
What are you doing?
- Okay, sir. Yes, sir.
- Clean it fast!
Hey, Baskhar, it's my wife's birthday.
I thought I'd surprise her.
I purchased it in the internal auction.
It's nice, right?
Alright, I'll leave now.
Sir
I'm sorry
for what happened this morning, sir.
Man, I've already forgotten about that.
Leave it.
Thank you, sir.
Bye, sir.
How are you holding up?
Half an hour of the day went
differently than expected. That's it.
I can't spend my whole life
crying over it.
Wow. Hats off
to this positive attitude, Baskhar.
Thank you, ma'am.
Bye, sir.
Come. Let's go.
Hey
I haven't eaten anything since morning.
Can you get me tea and samosa?
- Okay.
- Let's go.
- Sir, you forgot your box.
- Thank you.
Sir.
Greetings, sir.
Here, he comes!
Look, Mr. Anthony,
my friend's in a bad mood.
Spare him for today.
Stop it, dude.
Mr. Anthony, please take a seat.
Why now?
What will you have?
- Tea, coffee?
- No, sir.
What's the matter with your cargo, sir?
Did you get it released from the port?
No, sir.
The money still needs to be arranged.
The goods are being
auctioned in another hour.
What now, sir?
If you have two lakhs right now,
can you save your goods?
Within two hours,
I can show you how to earn
one rupee for every rupee invested.
Show us, sir. Earn it.
But you must give us twenty percent
of every rupee you earn.
Ten percent to him.
Ten percent to me.
Okay, sir. I'll make one
phone call and come, sir.
- Sure.
- I must stop the auction.
Alright.
Where did you get this money?
- Take care.
- Bye, sir.
Hey, you've been sincere till now.
So why this sudden change?
If anything goes wrong,
you'll end up in prison.
In two days, I have to take my father
to the hospital for a checkup.
My son's school fee is due this week.
I was supposed to pay
my brother's and sister's college fees.
They are all expecting me
to come home with a promotion.
That Patel guy snuck away
with my scooter.
I don't have money in my pocket
to buy a bus ticket to go home.
I don't even have a pocket.
What's poverty if not this?
So be it. It's my life
that's at stake here.
If I get lucky, it's for
the betterment of my entire family.
I lost so much in a single day.
Enough of it.
I will return home as a winner.
I spoke with George, sir.
He's agreed to call off the auction
only if I bring the money.
We're in this together now.
Don't lead me into the darkness.
Trust me, sir.
There's a lot of demand
for electronic items in India today.
There is a higher demand for
imported brands like Sony and Panasonic.
If you want to buy it here at the MRP,
it will cost between thirty-five
and forty thousand rupees.
The same TV in countries like Malaysia,
Singapore, and the Gulf
is available for
only twelve thousand rupees.
In bulk, you can get it
for eight or nine thousand rupees.
Why's there such a difference?
They impose many taxes,
like import duty, which makes it costly.
However, there's a workaround
to bypass all these taxes.
Spare parts.
Spare parts?
There is zero tax on
spare parts in our country.
So we'll declare
these TVs as spare parts,
get them through
someone we know,
and get them past the port.
What about the customs officials?
There are more expensive officers
than honest ones in the port.
Brother, please stop here.
Sir, we'll get off here.
Come home when you are done.
Get down, dude.
- I'll stay.
- Why?
My friend trusts easily,
but I'm a cautious man.
We'll go.
What is this I'm hearing?
Did you fight with Patel?
Did he take away the scooter?
Everyone in the colony
is talking about it.
The promotion went to someone else.
He said they'll be back in two hours.
But they're still not here.
What if the goods were already auctioned?
I'm sorry, brother.
You're late.
The items were sold out.
Is Anthony trustworthy?
Let's leave.
Sir Please wait, sir.
Did both of them cheat me?
Did the customs officials catch them?
Dear, Samba brother is here.
We made a profit of 2,50,000 rupees.
Here's the two lakhs you
gave as an investment.
Your share is fifty thousand.
Thank you, sir, for trusting me.
Thank you, sir, for keeping your word.
Anthony sir arrived
on time and saved the day.
Or else, what would we do
with those two lakhs?
Who came on time, sir?
He's the one who asked me
to come at that time.
- Mr. Anthony. This is Baskhar.
- Sir.
- Magadha Bank.
- Tell me, sir.
Please be at Yazdani Cafe
at 04.30 p.m. sharp.
Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four,
twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven
Your interest and the principal amount.
How?
Give me the keys.
- Money?
- Paid.
But how?
- Did the vault security arrive?
- No, sir.
On Monday morning,
I'll come earlier than everyone else
and put the money in the cash counter.
What about the register?
I wrote two lakhs less today.
I will write two lakhs more
on Monday and adjust it.
Baskhar sir, you came
so early today!
There was no traffic today.
How can you be so sincere?
Oh, yeah! Come on!
Hey, come on!
Bravo, brother!
Lift your collar and roam with pride
The goddess of fortune has blessed you
Watch the fun
Your stars are aligned
Your luck is on the rise
No one can stop you now
Your time begins today
You, lucky Baskhar!
Oh, yeah
- Lucky, Baskhar!
- One more time, I'll sing!
You, lucky Baskhar!
You, lucky Baskhar!
Your loan has been cleared, Baskhar.
Strength is yours
Wit is yours
All these skills
Are for survival, aren't they?
Rise, noble man
Sharpen your mind
Dive in, brave one
Crack open the lockers
Enough of the ups and downs
Leave fear behind, live like a king
You can't get away
with money every time, sir.
- Sometimes, parties like this are needed.
- Dance with money
You, lucky Baskhar!
Lucky Baskhar!
Lucky
You, lucky Baskhar!
You, lucky Baskhar!
You, lucky Baskhar!
Oh, lucky Baskhar!
Yeah!
Eat.
Of late, your behavior has been strange.
Especially since you missed out
on the manager post.
I was scared you'd be depressed.
But
But?
You've been happy since.
You're coming home drunk
- and spending money at will.
- Softly!
You didn't even come home last night.
Have you taken up any vices?
Stop it!
Have you lost it?
Would anyone with such a beautiful wife
go elsewhere?
Maybe you're bored of me.
I'm spending money. But for whom?
For you. For my family.
Yes, but how are you able to afford it?
Promise you'll keep it
between us and I'll tell you.
I promise I won't tell a soul.
- You know my friend, Anthony, right?
- Yes.
I started an import-export business
with him.
I'm keeping it a secret
because I'm a bank employee.
And the investment?
I took it from the bank.
Another bank loan?
The profits are good.
All this with that money.
What about the loans?
I repaid them.
If you observe correctly,
I haven't lied.
I intelligently masked the truth.
Buy yourself a good necklace.
No.
It's Karthik's birthday next week, right?
Shall we invite everyone
and celebrate this time?
We couldn't do it before.
Alright, as you please.
Welcome. Welcome.
Thank you.
Sumathi, I've talked about him, right?
My business partner, Mr. Anthony.
- Greetings.
- Greetings.
That party became
the talk of the town in our colony.
The relatives couldn't digest it.
My colleagues were stunned.
Even the kids were burning with jealousy.
But many questions.
- What's with the spending?
- I received a bonus, brother-in-law.
My brother-in-law
is throwing this party, sir.
Cheers!
My son landed a job in America.
He's asking me to move to America.
So, will you leave, sir?
If I go now, I'll be living off him.
I don't want that.
Why is that, sir?
Whatever I've earned so far has gone
into his education and repaying loans.
I'm in a similar boat, sir.
I haven't saved a single rupee so far.
I won't go to America
with empty hands, for sure.
There's a big deal.
A ship from Dubai
is scheduled to arrive this Saturday.
Three foreign cars are being shipped.
If we can put together ten lakh rupees,
our profits won't just double
they will quadruple.
Jackpot!
But this time
we can split it three ways.
- Dude
- Hey, stop.
Ten lakhs is a huge amount.
It's hard to procure.
Think about it and tell me in two days.
This could be my last deal.
I'll take your leave now, sir.
Sir.
Hey, dude.
- Think about it once.
- No chance. Leave now.
- Good night, brother.
- Good night.
What's that?
Your friend Anthony gifted it.
How did it go?
Simply great!
Is he happy?
Ask him yourself.
Are you happy, dear?
Enjoyed?
What about your friends?
Leave the game and speak to me.
Karthik, dear?
- Why are you crying?
- Dear!
- Did someone say something?
- What's wrong?
Thank you very much, Dad.
- Thank you, Mom.
- What's wrong, dear?
My friends used to make fun of me, Dad.
That, "Karthik attends everyone's
birthday party and has cake for free."
But he never throws a birthday party."
No one will tease me after today.
Arun used to say I wore the same T-shirt
whenever I visited his home.
He used to ask
if I didn't have another one.
He was shocked
to see me in this suit, Mom.
I'll obey everything you say from today.
I'll wake up early and study well.
Also, don't buy me toys until I grow up.
This is when you start to think
that there's nothing wrong
with taking risks for family.
- Anthony sir?
- Yes, sir.
I'm in.
The money will be arranged
by Saturday evening.
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, Ramji.
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.
What's the deal
with the suitcase, Baskhar?
- I'm going out of town this evening, sir.
- Oh.
I don't have time to go home. So
Nice! Good thinking!
Why are you so early today, sir?
Actually
He probably thought it wouldn't be good
to be late even on a Saturday.
Her dose of sarcasm
has increased these days.
Alright, leave it inside.
- We've got work inside the vault.
- Be right there, sir.
Isn't this enough?
Why take more?
It's alright, sir.
I'll put back the excess.
Suit yourself.
You're the one carrying it.
- Alright, Baskhar. You may leave.
- Okay, sir.
- Ma'am, tea.
- Thank you.
- What's your name?
- I'm bringing it, sir.
I heard Ms. Riya makes great biryani.
So I asked her to bring me some.
Isn't he leaving today?
- I got sick of Biryani after that.
- So you're also a victim!
Time!
Today's deposits came to 9,15,250 rupees.
- I entered the same in the ledger.
- Okay.
- No marriage proposal is working out.
- Oh, is it?
- Why not try some rituals?
- Isn't he leaving yet?
- Let me try that too.
- Hold on, dude.
- Can you recommend a priest?
- Definitely. Let me find out.
- Narayanan sir.
- Yes, Baskhar.
Are you staying?
Or do you want me to take care of it?
I'll stay. Half day, right?
- He messed up the plan.
- Samba!
You unnecessarily disturbed the oldie.
He'd have left calmly.
- What did I do?
- Why did you ask if he's staying?
Latha laughed,
wounding the old man's pride.
- Baskhar.
- Sir.
- It's time. Shall we leave?
- Right away.
I'm so mad, I can't even yell!
Now what do we do?
- Baskhar. Come.
- Sir.
I've arranged everything.
Keep it inside. We'll leave.
Hello? Yes, he's here.
Narayanan, sir. Call for you.
- Who's this?
- Do one thing.
Go out and call Narayanan sir.
Engage him for ten minutes.
I'll manage something.
- Mr. Narayanan?
- It's me.
- What should I speak for ten minutes?
- Anything!
Speak about
his daughter's marriage proposal.
- Is Astalakshmi your daughter?
- Yes, she is.
- Hey!
- What?
Superb idea, dude.
I'm Vishwanatha Sastry.
Calling from Hyderabad.
Cross the line
Change your fate
Hail, common man!
Gather wealth
If you can send the horoscope
For the good of those you trust
All the good and bad
Hide them in your heart
Lighten your life's burdens
And laugh a bit
She studied in Bombay.
- What did she study?
- B.Com.
Baskhar, I'll need some time.
Please keep it inside.
Win the war, hero
Your battle is your own, isn't it?
Che Guevara!
You, lucky Baskhar!
You, lucky Baskhar!
- Oh, yeah!
- You, lucky Baskhar!
- One more time, I'll sing!
- You, lucky, Baskhar!
- How much longer?
- There he comes.
Come, Ismail.
- Why are you late?
- Everything is messed up!
- What's wrong?
- There was a raid at the showroom.
Bhai was arrested.
What are you saying?
What about the cars?
What can we do when the boss is in jail?
We'll figure out something next month.
- Hey, Ismail!
- Ismail!
Ten lakhs before Monday!
How will we Damn it!
Hey, Anthony!
You conned us!
- Stop, dude.
- I did?
Yes, you! If something goes wrong
with the money, he's doomed.
Stop, dude!
Cool down, Samba!
Do you realize
what you're saying and to whom?
We need to stick together
during ups and downs.
No, sir.
Driven by greed,
I've led us to this predicament.
It was my mistake.
- I should be blamed.
- Stop it, sir.
Stop thinking with fear
and use your brains.
Last time, when you did not get
a good price for your TVs,
you changed your vendor, right?
That's right, sir.
Similarly, we don't have Ismail now.
His boss is in jail.
Can't we find
another car dealer in Bombay?
Think about it.
In Bombay, Pune, and all of Maharashtra
isn't there a single car dealer
who can buy three foreign cars?
Will he be able to do it?
He'll be back.
Stay calm for a while.
Sir, I found a buyer in Goa.
He's a resort owner.
- Hello?
- Hello? It's me.
Where have you been?
Why aren't you home?
I'm on my way to Goa
on an important business.
I'll be back tomorrow evening.
Okay, bye.
Hello? Hello?
Hey, have you brought it?
The number plates
and fake RC books you asked for.
Okay.
Government vehicle number plates.
RC book, license. Alright, move.
Stop.
RC book, license.
Alright, you can go.
Why check a government vehicle?
I told you I'm at the checkpoint.
I'll call you later.
Hang up the phone!
Here.
Sir! Sir!
- Ask them to get out.
- Hey, get out!
Do you even know how to drive?
- Sir that is
- Give me your license.
Will you run me over?
- I asked for your license!
- Sir.
Sir, listen to me, sir
Where are you going at this hour?
Pull over.
What's wrong, sir?
Your guy is crossing the limits.
He's driving without a license.
I forgot.
- How can you forget the license?
- Sir!
- VIPs are inside, sir.
- VIPs?
- Yes, sir.
- In this car? Ask them to get out.
What's wrong?
Who dared to stop the car?
Was that you? You?
If Mr. Sharath finds out you stopped
the car, you'll be transferred.
- Who the hell is Sharath?
- CM Sharath Bhaval, sir.
The CM?!
Give me the phone! Now!
Give me the phone!
- This is government property.
- I'm the government. Hand it over.
- Please give me the phone.
- Give it, sir.
- Please give me.
- I won't.
Please give me the phone.
In the name of God,
please give me the phone, sir.
In the name of God,
please give me ten rupees, sir.
In the name of God,
please give me the phone, sir.
Sir!
Why is he begging?
Government vehicle number plate.
If we have this, no one can stop us.
What if they do?
They're bound to suspect us.
We need someone from the government
inside the vehicle.
Since it's a foreign car,
he should hold a high position.
How?
Will you come to Goa with us?
- Goa?
- But not like this.
- How, then?
- That's how.
Pull out the Independence Day
outfit of Mr. Nehru.
How can anyone believe
these beggars to be politicians?
He got used to it,
begging for votes, sir.
I think something's fishy.
Sir, are you an MLA or an MP?
- Which constituency?
- Which consultancy?
- Tell me, sir
- Tell him. He's asking
Anthony sir.
- Sir, that girl who danced at the port.
- Mona.
What if someone from
the checkpoint has the same doubt?
That's right!
We need a spicy diversion.
What's wrong?
She is the heroine
in Sanjay Dutt's new movie.
- Why is she going to Goa with them?
- You are not a child, sir.
This guy hurt me.
- Sir!
- So, I'm going to fire him.
- Yes, do it.
- Ma'am!
- I'll see his end.
- That's right.
- Ma'am.
- Not just this state.
I'll ensure he doesn't find a job
anywhere in the country.
- Go ahead!
- What's this, boss?
He says he wants to
do it and she is encouraging him.
Life is at stake, boss!
The wife will leave me.
Please do something, boss.
- Please wait, sir. Let me speak.
- Please do something, boss.
- I'll sort this. But I need a favor.
- Should I fall at your feet?
- No, no.
- What then?
Call Goa checkpoint
and tell them not to stop our cars.
- Right away, boss.
- I'll transfer him to a forest area.
- What?
- Sir, he's a family man, sir.
- Please, sir.
- Nothing doing. Your sorry won't do.
- Holding my hands also won't do it.
- Spare him, sir!
- Please, spare him, sir.
- Please, sir.
I like how you were begging.
You are excused.
Get lost!
Thank you.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Get in, darling.
- Hey. Call the Goa checkpoint.
- Okay, sir.
Sorry, Anthony sir.
I was tense and called you names.
This is our profit.
20 lakhs.
Take it.
Take it.
- This is for you.
- Why so much?
One thousand per head would do, right?
Imagine where we'd be without them.
Sir!
I want to bow to you
but you are younger than me.
I want to hug you but we're just beggars.
In the name of God,
please hug me, sir.
Sir!
Thank you, sir!
- Thank you.
- Sir.
What about me?
Thank you.
One lakh for a handshake.
What a customer!
Why are we at the airport?
Hey, dude!
Wake up.
Hello, sir.
I spoke with the customs officials.
None would check your suitcase.
- Thanks, dear.
- Okay, sir.
I'm going to my son.
My flight's in three hours.
- Why, sir?
- I told you this is my last deal.
I'll set up a hotel with this money.
Whenever you need something.
I'm just a call away. Remember this, sir.
- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you, sir.
- Bye.
- Bye, sir.
Why is there a police jeep here?
There's commotion inside.
I can't figure out what's going on.
Hey, Baskhar, you're finally here!
Do you know how often
I called your house to reach you?
Your wife told me you were out of town.
I had to make a quick trip
to Goa for some work.
I came straight to the bank.
I didn't even go home.
What exactly is going on, ma'am?
Some mess. There's been a scam.
I'll tell you later.
- Move away!
- Sir?
Hey, move aside!
What's happening, ma'am?
Mr. Himanshu and Sudheer used
to arrange loans from the bank
and they'd charge a
ten percent commission.
The inquiry revealed that
they were doing this.
- Baskhar
- Sir?
We're running out of time.
Let's get the cash.
That Himanshu is a total idiot.
He took a bribe and gave him
that manager post.
- Oh, how he wronged you!
- Let it go, sir.
Baskhar, is it 40?
No, sir. It's 50.
- Fifty? I thought it was 40.
- It's 50, sir.
If you say so.
- What's that?
- My suitcase, sir.
I can see that.
What's it doing here?
I was out of town, sir.
I came straight to the bank.
No time to go home.
Oh! So sincere!
- Nothing like that, sir.
- Open the suitcase.
- Why, sir?
- Open the suitcase.
- Mr. Narayanan. Come here.
- Sir.
Sir.
- Mr. Narayanan.
- Sir?
What was the amount
withdrawn from the vault?
Fifty lakhs, sir.
Can you verify the amount
of cash on the counter?
But why, sir?
- Do as I say.
- Okay, sir.
Open the suitcase.
It's stuck, sir.
Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
It's 50 lakhs, sir.
- Baskhar.
- Sir?
We're running out of time.
Let's get the cash.
- What's that?
- My suitcase, sir.
That's 40 lakhs. And yeah!
Fifty lakhs, sir.
See, Baskhar
I can't trust anyone after
what happened today.
- Continue.
- No problem, sir.
Finally! What an escape!
We don't need the bank money now.
We already have some.
I'll find another deal.
Let's stop.
Why's that?
We got out of it, right?
What more is there?
At the crossroads,
there are signals, right?
Red, yellow, green.
You should proceed with caution
when the signal turns yellow.
And you should stop when it turns red.
The last 48 hours of our lives have been
a yellow signal from God.
What happened in the bank
this morning was a red signal.
That's enough.
I don't know, man!
You can stop if you want to.
But I'll keep playing.
Hey, Samba!
Samba didn't like what I said.
He resigned the very next day
and struck a deal
with a different trader at the port.
He started his own business.
SISTER'S WEDDING
I distributed the six lakhs I earned
equally between my responsibilities.
But, when we hope for something,
they say that God will create
something else.
Brother!
I got a seat
in the London School of Economics.
Top most college in the world.
- Congrats, dear.
- Thank you.
How much is the fee?
It's 5,98,000.
Round figure? Six lakhs.
I can't afford that much.
See if you can do something.
How much will your brother earn here
after studying Engineering?
Three thousand?
Let's say 6000.
If he completes his studies there?
The starting salary itself is 60,000.
- Monthly?
- Yes.
Please, brother.
SISTER'S WEDDING
BROTHER'S EDUCATION
Please.
SUMATHI HOME FOODS BUSINESS
KARTHIK'S FUTURE
Please.
DAD
- Is the Chairman here?
- Yes, sir.
What's this car doing here?
I heard they brought it from
Mr. Himanshu's house, sir.
Baskhar, the chairman
wants to see you.
Hey, there, Baskhar!
Please come in.
Good morning, sir.
Oh! So, this is Mr. Baskhar.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, come in.
Sit.
I have been hearing a lot of things
about you from the GM Vinod.
I hope it's all good things, sir.
I'll tell you.
Because of the mess
that took place in this bank,
the bank has lost its reputation.
That's why
we're restructuring all our branches.
Firstly in this branch,
the posts of the regional manager
and the assistant regional manager
are being filled.
The AGM post too.
Because the AGM is being transferred
to the Bangalore branch.
He has his family there.
And he's pretty happy about it.
There will also be a lot of layoffs.
Mr. Iqbal is part of
the Himanshu scam.
If you have to cry, get out of the room.
Please!
Please take him away.
Yes.
Where were we?
Layoffs, sir.
And there are a few promotions, too.
Sir!
Never before
in the history of the banking sector
has there been a promotion
of a junior-level employee
straight to the senior management level.
Sir?
Congratulations, Mr. Baskhar!
You've been promoted to AGM
of the Colaba branch in Bombay,
Magadha Bank.
Your salary will be 19,500 rupees,
plus travel allowance
plus many other perks.
Is there anything else you desire?
There's one thing, sir.
What is it?
What happened?
I got promoted
to Assistant General Manager.
Whose car is that?
It's ours.
Wait,
the real story is just beginning.
Sir, you must see this.
Hundred crore rupees in the account
of an ordinary bank employee?
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
To be precise,
it's 1,00,00,08,253 rupees, sir!
Yes, sir.
Even I was shocked.
Sir
I will report to you
once the investigation is complete.
I'll take leave now.
Mr. Baskhar
For the first six months
after your promotion as the AGM
every month, 19,500 rupees
were credited to your account.
That's my salary, sir.
But after that,
massive amounts were credited.
How'd you explain
these statements?
GM Vinod is busy with the
Bengaluru branch operations.
So?
Therefore, I am going to assign
you some additional responsibilities.
Especially, Harsha.
He's a treasured
and trusted client of ours.
He will bring several crores of
rupees worth of business to this bank.
You'll have to take extra care
to look after him.
Sure, sir.
Good.
- Thank you, sir.
- Okay, all the best.
I'm Suraj from Grow High Company.
Harsha bhai wanted
me to give these.
Katari Bank's BRs, sir.
So, what's a BR, sir?
BR is a bank receipt.
Just like banks give loans
to the public and businessmen,
they can lend money
to other banks as well.
They are pledging worth
15 crores and 21 crores, sir.
What does Harsha Mehra
have to do with this, sir?
According to the RBI,
direct bank-to-bank transfers
are a lengthy process.
Working this through
a broker's account would be easy.
That broker is
Harsha Mehra for our bank.
For example,
to lend money to Katari Bank,
Magadha Bank transfers
the amount to Harsha's account.
Harsha in turn transfers the amount
to the Katari Bank.
When Katari Bank repays the loan,
the amount is first deposited
into Harsha's account,
Harsha will then pay
the money back to us.
For this, he's given a commission
of 0.001 percent of the transaction.
- This BR is valid for two weeks only.
- Sir.
- You must return the amount in two weeks.
- Sure, sir.
- With interest.
- Okay, sir.
Sir
There'd be a delay sometimes.
You know, right?
I do. But that can't be repeated.
Thank you.
What's this?
A small gift from
Harsha bhai to sister-in-law.
I can buy these
for sister-in-law, brother.
Not like that sir.
This is for
the client-manager relationship
You'd give a gift
when your client is good.
And if something goes wrong,
you'd complain.
Someone on the ground floor
fell for this three months ago.
We're not like that, sir.
I, too, am not like that.
Two weeks.
Sir.
Thank you, sir.
Do you like it?
Why this now?
I got the promotion, right?
I've been thinking about
gifting you this.
What else?
I have to arrange investment
for your home foods business too.
At least fill in that loan application.
You got the promotion, right?
Sir. Loan application.
Good morning, sir.
Mr. Suraj, please come.
Have a seat.
Repayment check, sir.
Isn't it supposed to be
settled within two weeks?
Four weeks have passed already.
Sir, there was a slight delay in
the wire transfer from the Katari bank.
Drop a word about it
and please settle it on time.
Sure, sir.
Sir, we need
two bank account statements.
Harsha bhai's and Grow High's, sir.
- Hello?
- Latha ma'am
Please bring last year's statements
for Harsha Mehra's and
Grow High's accounts.
- Okay.
- Bring two copies.
- Baskhar.
- Give them to Suraj.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
Latha ma'am
Please deposit these checks.
Sir, one copy of each
is enough for me.
She has brought two copies.
Didn't you ask for two copies?
I meant one copy for each account.
- Oh, sorry.
- It's okay. Leave it there.
Okay, sir.
- I will deposit this.
- Okay. Thank you, ma'am.
- I'll take your leave, sir.
- Okay.
I have the bank statements
of India's wealthiest man in my hands.
The numbers in the account
are mind-boggling.
I noticed a strange pattern
in those statements that day.
November 12th, 1990.
Ten crores were credited from
Magadha Bank to Harsha's account.
On the same day,
ten crores were transferred
from Harsha's account
to Grow High's account.
September 6th, 1990.
From Magadha Bank to Harsha's account,
fifteen crores were credited.
After a day, from Harsha's account
to Grow High account,
15 crores were transferred.
The money credited to
Harsha's account from Magadha Bank,
should rightfully go to Katari Bank.
But, the statement does not mention
the name of Katari Bank anywhere.
Does that mean the money
is not going to Katari Bank?
Is this a clerical error?
Or Is the money
really not reaching Katari Bank?
- Hima.
- Sir.
I have to go out for
some urgent work.
Please postpone all meetings
to tomorrow.
- Okay, sir.
- Thank you.
Sorry, Mr. Baskhar.
- Rules don't allow this.
- What are you saying, sir?
Shouldn't the bank that gave the loan
ask for a simple bank statement
from the bank that took the loan?
I mean, Mr. Baskhar,
it's a long and strenuous process.
My accountant is away.
He's on a one-month-long leave.
After that, we'll be busy
with the bank audit work.
I'm quite busy.
We can try one or two months later.
Why all this, sir?
You're receiving your
interest on time. Right?
What else is the issue?
He got sold.
No problem, sir.
He bought the entire bank.
Mr. Baskhar.
It'd be better
if you spoke to Harsha bhai once.
Why?
He'll take care of you.
The money is clearly
not going to Katari Bank.
But what exactly is
Harsha Mehra doing with this money?
- He rigs the shares, sir.
- What do you mean?
Harsha purchases bulk shares
in his desired company at a low cost.
He makes his men buy
the same company shares
little by little at a high price.
- Come here.
- Sir.
- How much is Bluemoon share today?
- Twenty rupees.
- Buy 20,000 shares at 50 rupees each.
- Okay, sir.
Bluemoon tires are 150 rupees.
Buy one lakh worth of shares.
Buy 15,000 shares of Bluemoon
at 200 rupees each.
He makes them buy until the
company's shares rise in the market.
Once it reaches his desired rate,
he sells all the shares
he's already got of the company.
Sell.
- Sell.
- Yes, sir.
Sell all the shares of Bluemoon.
Sell everything.
He achieves a tenfold profit
in just four weeks.
This is illegal.
But he still does it.
But that requires a lot of money.
They say Harsha holds a lot of money.
Everyone says
it's the black money of politicians.
But according to me,
it is an underworld mafia, sir.
Brother, two biscuits.
Who are you anyway?
I'm the one who lent money to Harsha.
Mafia?
No.
Bank.
Share rigging itself is illegal.
Diverting the loan amount between banks
to the share market
is a much bigger crime.
- Alright.
- Please go to that counter.
- Hello?
- Latha ma'am, Baskhar here.
- Yes, Baskhar.
- I need to speak to the chairman sir.
Can you please find out his
house number and let me know?
Yes, I will. Give me fifteen minutes.
Thank you, ma'am.
Yeah, hello.
Baskhar?
Mr. Suraj is here.
Can I give him your home phone number?
No.
- First, get the chairman's contact number.
- Okay, Baskhar.
Thank you, ma'am.
Do you know what your son
did in school today?
What did he do?
His friend Anuj stole a chocolate
from Akruti's bag in class.
He said he would give half the chocolate
and asked him not to tell the teacher.
He's shamelessly eating
that half of the chocolate.
Why did you do that, dear?
If I had told the teacher,
she would have given
the chocolate to Akruti.
What would I have gotten?
Because I listened to Anuj,
I ended up with half the chocolate.
You're going rogue day by day.
Wait! Karthik
- Hey!
- Hey! I'll straighten you out.
If I had told the teacher,
what would I have gotten?
Because I listened to Anuj,
I ended up with half the chocolate.
- Hello?
- Yeah, Baskhar.
Will you take down
the chairman's phone number?
- Latha ma'am
- Yes, Baskhar.
Is Suraj still there?
Yeah, he's sitting right here.
- Give him my home number.
- Okay, I will.
- Hello?
- Suraj here, sir.
I want to meet you in person, sir.
I mean, in private.
- Suraj?
- He's inside, sir.
Hi, sir.
Please come.
Katari Bank's GM called.
One second, sir.
Sir.
Sir.
Sir, at least look at it.
If Baskhar decides to sell himself,
he will set his own price.
Okay, sir.
Please tell me what you want.
Two things.
In the BR value you bring,
I need a one percent cut
completely in cash.
And the shares you trade,
you should provide the information
one day before buying or selling them.
- Is this final, sir?
- Yes.
Done!
- I put in 25 lakhs, sir. Please count.
- No need.
Can I ask you something, sir?
Earlier, you rejected our gifts.
What changed now, sir?
Leverage.
When we're entering a deal with someone,
we should have the upper hand.
If this arrangement of ours is exposed,
I'll lose my job.
But you will lose your entire empire.
- Be careful.
- Sir!
- I'd like to meet Anwar.
- Okay.
Anwar, someone's here to meet you.
His name is Anwar.
Though he's just eighteen years old,
he is an expert in the underworld
of hawala and money laundering.
Sir, you?
Twenty-five lakhs.
Can you give them to me in white?
Sir, but to do it quickly and
without causing any suspicion,
I think the only option
is a lottery ticket.
JAI JALARAM LOTTERIES
If we give them money,
they will give us the winning ticket.
They take three percent commission,
and I'll take one percent, sir.
- Sumathi. Coffee.
- Yeah. Coming.
Five. Three, three
Five, three, one, three.
Yeah!
Yes!
Lottery!
What happened?
I won a lottery worth twenty-five lakhs!
Yes!
Those addicted to gambling
always think of quitting.
But once they remember how it feels,
they'll find a new reason and restart.
So did I.
This time bigger. And better.
When did brother
buy the lottery ticket?
He didn't even tell me.
When I celebrated my son's birthday
spending twenty-five thousand
I had to tell countless lies.
But today, it's twenty-five lakhs.
Sorry! It's 17,50,000 worth
of white money. After tax.
I'm not answerable to any
dimwit out there anymore!
- Good morning.
- Congratulations, sir!
- Congratulations, Baskhar!
- Thank you.
DESHMUKH TRADERS
I need to open a trading account.
Hello?
Buy as many Zamda shares
as you can by tomorrow, sir.
How many times did I call last night?
Why didn't you answer?
The phone's out of order.
Buy as many Zamda shares as possible
for 17 lakhs as soon as the market opens.
Zamda shares
Buy 17 lakhs worth of shares.
Okay, okay.
Hey, move aside.
- Twenty-six thousand.
- Nineteen.
- Hello?
- It's me, Suraj, sir.
Sell all the Zamda shares
before the market closes today, sir.
Okay.
What's with the traffic?
It's been so for two hours.
There's some protest happening.
- Alright. Keep this inside.
- Okay, sir.
I had to borrow money to get
the phone repaired, sir.
We can talk as long as we wish.
- Why are you panting, sir?
- Sell it off.
Were you jogging?
- Sell it off!
- Sir?
- Zamda shares!
- Sir?
Sell everything before the market closes.
Hey, all of Zamda shares
- Sell them off.
- Okay, bhai.
Sir
You're a genius.
Sir, my life is almost settled
with the two lakhs you gave me.
Thank you, sir.
I'll never forget your deed.
Yeah!
- Sorry, sorry.
- Have you gone nuts?
Sorry. Sorry, brother. Sorry.
Latha ma'am.
Could you please deposit
these checks into my account?
Yeah, sure.
- Baskhar?
- Ma'am.
How did you get into so much money?
I made a profit from the shares.
- Oh! Congratulations!
- Thank you, ma'am.
- Don't tell anyone, it might ruin my luck.
- Yeah. That's alright.
Thank you, ma'am.
Seventy lakhs in shares within two weeks.
Four-and-a-half times profit.
And in one day
you've spent sixty-nine lakhs.
This is Sandeep.
He's in his final year MBA in our college.
I like him.
All of these have become
increasingly common lately.
For the wedding, you can fix
all the dates. But please don't delay.
The wedding must be grand.
Our relatives should be stunned.
Alright, we'll take your leave.
- Sister's wedding has been fixed.
- Really?
- Love, it seems.
- Oh, great.
Shut up, brother.
I've to start the wedding work.
Sumathi.
Will two lakhs be enough for gold
and one lakh for clothes?
Wow!
How much did you earn in shares?
Sir, parking's that way.
- You both go. I'll park and come.
- Okay.
This one's good.
But let's check out the others.
That one. Please show us the one above.
Can we have some water?
Over there, sir.
- How's this?
- Is this better?
And this one?
- Is this okay for you?
- Yes, I like it.
These and two pairs of bangles and this.
How much will that be?
Three lakhs, ma'am.
- Please sign this.
- Sorry, ma'am.
Checks are not accepted.
- Why can't you take it?
- The rules don't allow it, ma'am.
- But the bank...
- Hey! He says the rules don't allow it.
Let's go to the bank
and bring the money.
Sumathi, let's check out
the clothing shop on the way.
- This shirt looks good.
- Sir.
- What can I do for you, sir?
- Wedding shopping. It's for my sister.
Sure sir. In what price range
should I show you?
How much business
does your store see per day?
Sir, it's
- It's alright. You can tell me.
- On regular days about three lakhs, sir.
On festival days, it's six to seven lakhs.
To have that much
business in an hour,
which range should we shop in?
Sir?
So much money?!
Hello, sir.
Let's go to our premium lounge.
This is our exclusive designer collection.
We have all international brands
and designer wear.
These are our tailors.
- Select the cloth.
- Hello, sir.
He'll stitch pants and shirt
within 20 minutes.
Ma'am, if you select
either a sari or a lehenga,
she'll stitch your blouse
within 20 minutes.
Baskhar. What's all this?
From your toes to your head,
buy whatever you need.
I earned that much.
- Is this fine, ma'am?
- Hello!
- Someone, please come here.
- You go.
- I'm already showing them. You go.
- You go, dude.
- That one, on top of that.
- Those are diamonds, ma'am.
They drive a Maruti 800, wear Bata shoes,
and use HMT watches.
The women don't even have
two grams of gold on them.
Can they buy diamonds?
I don't understand why I always
encounter such weird people!
Middle-class mentality, sir.
We save every penny by cutting costs.
But when pride kicks in,
we spend it all without hesitation.
The doors open upwards.
Megastar Chiranjeevi recently bought it.
It's worth 7,50,000 rupees.
Sir, this is Patrol.
Nissan's flagship model.
Six-cylinder. The price is 16 lakhs.
- That much?
- That much?
I didn't just go to buy jewelry, sir.
I wanted to buy his arrogance.
I made the same person
- who insulted me salute me, sir.
- Hello, sir.
Every rupee was worth it, sir.
- Take that one too.
- We didn't like it.
That's alright.
Let's empty the counter.
- Can they afford diamonds?
- Do you think he heard us?
Let him. It's not like he'd get hurt
and purchase the entire counter.
We're short by three lakhs, sir.
We accept checks also, sir.
This is India!
If you want something,
you have to buy it with money.
But if you want respect,
money should be visible on your body.
Wow!
You'll face income tax issues if you win
another lottery within three months, sir.
How else, then?
Sir, money laundering can
be done through hawala.
What do you mean?
Baskhar!
Tell me what it is.
I know many shell companies
in the Gulf, Singapore, and Malaysia.
If we give money to their people here,
they'll transfer the money
from their company account to our account.
One minute. Wait
However, we need to have
a private limited company here.
- Anwar will take care of the accounts.
- Greetings, ma'am.
Sumathi can't suspect a thing.
Make her believe these are foreign orders.
- A big order has come from Dubai.
- Really?
A big order has arrived from Dubai.
Buy as many shares of Regal Cement
as possible, sir.
- Okay.
- Are you listening, Baskhar?
Hello? Meet Prabhu Kishore at the port.
Take the export certificate from him.
He asked you to keep
the pickle bottles sir.
Only pickles?
- Or did he send any money to munch?
- What, sir!
Here.
Anwar, since we're converting black money
to white, it must stay untraceable.
Keep adjusting the account books
and receipts regularly.
Seventy percent now and
the remaining 30 crores by next month
This is the last time, Suraj.
- Please deposit these checks, ma'am.
- Oh! Baskhar!
- Wife's pickle business.
- Secret, right?
There's going to be a delay
this month too, sir.
I'll take care of it, Suraj.
Thank you, sir.
Is Harsha's account all clear?
Yes, sir. All clear.
This traffic jam is
because of your husband's car.
- I'll let him know. He'll remove it.
- Just five minutes.
Hey!
- Anwar!
- Sir.
There are 20 shops
and 40 houses in this colony.
Fifteen hundred rupees per shop
and 750 rupees per house.
I'll give it to you every month.
My car remains here.
Deal okay, Mr. Baskhar.
Food beyond hunger, wealth beyond need.
Both are poison.
These were the days
when the poison got to my head.
You are drinking a lot these days.
Why didn't you sign these checks?
- I was occupied...
- Busy even for four signatures?
Sign them up fast!
- Baskhar.
- Sir.
I bought a second-hand scooter just now.
Have some sweets.
I'll take it when you buy a new one.
- You are now one of the richest in Mumbai!
- Secret, right?
Tell them if you want to, ma'am.
Everyone should know.
Baskhar is no longer
in the middle class.
Okay.
Yuck! I don't like it.
Let's eat at that vada pav place, Dad.
We shouldn't eat at such cheap places.
This is where we eat.
Moron!
He won't be spared today.
Can't you drive?
Do you think the road belongs to your dad?
- Anwar!
- Sir.
- Is this road still a one-way?
- Yes, sir.
For the shops and house every month
- We are paying, sir.
- What about him?
We are paying 3,750 rupees
for one house and two shops, sir.
I came because it was night and empty.
It was a mistake. Let it go.
Leave it, brother.
What are you going to do?
Brother
Someone tell him, please.
Brother
Brother! It was a mistake!
Forgive me.
Brother Don't, brother!
- No, brother!
- Baskhar!
No, brother!
Baskhar brother. Don't do this!
Stop him. Please tell him.
This is not my dad's road.
- It's mine!
- Okay.
It's yours.
Get lost!
Anwar, throw him 10,000 rupees.
- Okay, sir.
- Baskhar! What's this?
What?
- Your words carry arrogance.
- It's not arrogance but courage.
- And your actions are full of pride.
- Not pride, but strength.
I can't believe you turned out
to be such a bad person.
Sumathi, I'm not bad.
I'm just rich.
This society always looks at the rich
as bad people.
Unfortunately, you are doing the same.
Remember one thing.
All the luxuries you enjoy today
and the investment for your home foods
were sponsored by this bad person.
Have some gratitude.
What's going on over there?
My gratitude.
I didn't mean that.
But that's how I understood.
Alright.
As you wish.
Mrs. Sumathi is great, Mr. Baskhar.
She's handing all her earnings to you.
But my wife controls my earnings.
Baskhar.
Will you let me have some
of the pickles made by your wife?
- Definitely, within a couple of days, sir.
- Thank you.
Everything you held turned into gold.
First, the lottery,
pickles business, shares
You are a very wealthy man. Yet
you are so simple
and humble. How?
God, sir.
Whenever he sees arrogance,
he gives a slap on life.
That's it. We get set right.
So
after how many slaps
did you shut down
Sumathi Home Foods Private Limited?
May I come in, sir?
Yes.
Sir, Hari Haran Katari bank
Sorry! Sit, sir.
Thank you.
What's with the sudden appearance, sir?
You could visit our bank unexpectedly.
Then why not us?
Nothing like that, sir.
How can I help you?
My wife needs a bank locker.
Our bank doesn't have any availability.
Can your bank
Of course, sir!
You didn't have to come personally.
- It's okay.
- I'd have sent someone if you just called.
I just wanted to keep it formal.
Please take it.
- Sir. Okay, sir.
- Bring tea.
- Also water.
- Okay, sir.
It's time for my BP tablet.
He'll bring it anyway.
Please fill out the form.
Okay.
What are you up to, sir? Busy?
I'm entering your bank BRs.
They just keep coming.
You spoke to them, right, sir?
Well
Is everything okay, sir?
It was okay in the beginning, sir.
Of late, the payments have been irregular.
I'm struggling to adjust it in the books.
It's just one or two crores.
We can easily adjust.
One or two?
Sir, it's almost 90 crores.
90 crores?
There are more BRs to be entered.
If those are added,
it would come to 100 crores plus.
But I've never issued BRs of such value.
Not all at once, sir.
Twenty once, thirty, and ten one time
The highest BR value
I issued was nine crore rupees.
Can I check those BRs once?
These BRs were not issued
by our bank, sir.
- Even the signature...
- Sir!
You may leave.
I mean, these are not mine.
Someone forged my signature, sir.
But, sir, this is your bank letterhead
and stamp.
Harsha Mehra, sir.
He could easily procure a bank letterhead.
He created a fake bank stamp
and using a dot matrix printer
he printed the required matter
and amount on the bank letterhead.
He even forged my signature.
These are fake BRs, sir.
Worthless crap!
Your bank alone has 100 crores.
What about other banks? National banks?
Hundreds of crores worth of fake BRs
would be in circulation.
He took hundreds of crores
on non-existent government securities.
If this is exposed
the money market
and the stock market would crash.
Indian economy will collapse.
What do we do now, sir?
Don't approve any BRs as of now.
Hope that Harsha stays safe.
Because, if he's caught,
we'll all go to jail with him.
What did we do?
We didn't know these were fake BRs.
But there is corruption.
We broke Reserve Bank rules.
Wouldn't this be enough to go to jail?
Please don't reveal this anywhere.
Sir.
Are you okay, sir?
I don't know, sir.
I don't know.
Gosh! He fell! Oh, no!
Sir! Sir!
What's wrong?
- Sir!
- Sir!
- What happened to him?
- What happened, sir?
Someone get him water!
- Sir!
- Sir!
- Sir!
- Sir!
- Sir!
- Call the ambulance!
Sir.
- What happened?
- He fell from the stairs, sir.
Sorry, sir.
He was brought dead.
I think it was a stroke.
- Does he have BP?
- Not sure, sir.
Sir, I'm Hari Haran's wife.
What happened to my husband?
Dad! Dad!
Doctor. What happened to my husband?
- Dad!
- Sir. What's the situation?
Hey!
How dare you forge the BRs?!
Did he die after learning about this?
With Harsha bhai
I'll break your face!
Both of yours.
Look, next time
you need to settle everything.
- Or
- Or?
What will you do?
If this comes to light, we'll all drown.
Would that be okay, sir?
Hey, Suraj!
A life was lost!
Indirectly because of our selfishness.
Enough.
Let's stop this.
Sir
The intoxication of money
beats cigarettes and alcohol.
There's more money in the stock market
than in any other business.
That's why even if you win one day
and lose another, or someone dies,
you don't feel like stopping.
We can't stop it, sir.
Harsha bhai will take care. Relax.
- What are these?
- Bills. Anwar gave them.
Sign the checks.
Sumathi.
Hello?
Brother!
I didn't know whom to call at his hour.
So I called you.
Two hundred cameras.
The goods are worth ten lakhs.
Do something, sir.
Nothing can be done now.
The FIR has been filed.
It's a non-bailable case, sir.
It's hard to find bail
in such smuggling cases.
It's all gone, buddy.
I wanted to earn more.
I took a risk.
I've been duped.
I've lost everything.
Karthik, does it have a calculator too?
Yes. It can save phone numbers, too.
Hey, this is great!
Mom! Mom!
- Sumathi. How are you?
- Mom, I want a watch like Karthik's.
I can't stand
seeing your brother like this.
I'm facing losses in real estate.
How he used to be!
- You must help me.
- He faced losses and
- now in front of your husband
- I need 50 lakh. Please.
Look at how your husband is sitting
with his legs crossed.
Please ask him to help.
It's his money
and it's up to him.
What do you mean by "his money"?
It's yours too.
It also includes money
from your home foods business.
He uses it
only for his brother and sister.
Won't he give it
to your side of the family?
Ask him.
- You just nod...
- Enough, Mom. Shut up!
Arun. Come here.
I'll buy one for you later.
- Okay, Mom.
- Hey!
You can have this.
What's wrong, Sumathi?
It seems you're bankrupt
and my husband's supposed to give away
his property to you.
Did you ever help us
when we were struggling?
Weren't you reluctant
even to feed my son, sister-in-law?
Enough. Let's go. Come on, Karthik.
Please stop, brother-in-law.
Brother-in-law!
You held such a toxic grudge against us!
You came into some money
and it boosted your arrogance.
It was me who gave you
that home foods business idea.
You prospered only because of my idea.
Sumathi!
What are you doing, Sumathi? Stop it!
Stop it, Sumathi.
- Stop it, Sumathi.
- You stop first.
- Enough is enough.
- What?
Everything you earned, spent,
and those affected by it.
My anger is not because
of my fight with my mom.
It was because you changed.
You've changed.
I want the old Baskhar.
I want our old life.
Sumathi.
Stop.
Don't cry, Mom.
Baskhar.
I need to speak to you.
Come in.
Grandfather is talking.
Close the door.
Dad
The export customers paid in dollars.
Including packing and everything.
Your father
was once a Chartered Accountant.
Don't try to fool me.
You said you won
a lottery that
only one in eight crores gets.
You were saying there are people who buy
a pickle bottle
worth five rupees for 500 rupees.
I can understand
how costly
a gamble you play.
Hawala,
money laundering.
Earning money,
was once a necessity for you.
But now,
it's your guilty pleasure.
No, Dad.
All of this is for our family.
We start with our family,
but, as we go further,
the intoxication of the game
makes you forget the very family.
Baskhar.
A speeding vehicle,
and a quick buck,
both are capable of
overthrowing a person.
Because, while gambling,
a great game is not important.
What matters is
when you put a stop to it.
Okay, Dad.
Was Sumathi Home Foods
a lie?
Was it all just an act?
Enough, Anwar.
Let's stop this.
Why sell when there's bull run, sir?
Think again, sir.
Greed has no limit.
But there ought to be.
Sell everything.
Is it real or just a dream?
- Is it real or just a dream?
- Hey!
- How did your thoughts
- You'll pay for this.
Get lost!
Land so heavy?
- How will you continue?
- What's the issue with Suraj?
He's got dues, sir.
The client is Harsha, right?
Money will come. Don't worry.
- Clear all those BRs.
- When your journey
Has stopped like this
Come on, Baskhar.
You know Harsha is involved.
Suraj will come to you.
Clear the Bank's BRs.
Okay, sir.
Send in Suraj. I'll approve.
Did you turn the hopes
You wove, into mere illusions?
Have you ever questioned yourself?
Whether you won or lost, it's you
Whether you rose or drowned
Whether you lived or faded
In your story
Whether you soared or ended, it's you
Whether you showered
Or dimmed, it's you
Don't worry about the money.
We'll settle later.
- Whether you continued or grew weary
- Alright. Thank you.
In this journey
- In this journey
- Harsha bhai wants to speak to you, sir.
Hello?
Hello?
- Do you intend to come back?
- Haven't decided yet, brother.
I'll wire you the money.
Buy a house there.
Okay, brother.
This is an apartment in Bandra.
I'm transferring it to my sister's name.
These are our house documents.
I'm transferring this too.
For every rupee you make.
You must share ten paisa with Samba.
Okay, brother-in-law.
Will your words
Ever reach your lips?
Latha ma'am. I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry, Baskhar?
Zip it. I'll go.
Like paper boats in the rainwater
Ramji. Your son's admission
to the Nauroji School is confirmed.
I spoke to the principal.
You are not using that Maruti car, right?
Will you sell it to me?
You are like a father to me, sir.
I can't take money from you.
You got me this Gold Spot.
Come home and take the car.
You realized your destination
On your path finally
- Will you come back to your roots?
- Patel bhai. One minute.
Have you won or lost?
- Whether you rise or drown?
- Sorry, Patel bhai.
- Whether you lived or faded
- Please keep this.
Whether you soared or ended, it's you
Whether you showered
Or dimmed, it's you
Whether you continued or grew weary
Is it real or just a dream?
Is it real or just a dream?
How did your thoughts
Land so heavy?
How to continue?
How to continue?
When your journey
Has stopped like this
I can't bring back
our olden days, Sumathi.
But, I'm ready to offer you
the Baskhar of old times.
The light drowns you the moment
It is put off
Did you turn the hopes and the shadows
You wove, into mere illusions?
Did you ever question yourself?
Whether you won or lost, it's you
Whether you rose or sank, it's you
Whether you lived or faded
In your story
Whether you soared or ended, it's you
Whether you showered
Or dimmed, it's you
Whether you continued
Or grew weary, in the high
In the journey
In the journey
Sir.
Baskhar.
Haven't you cleared
the BRs sent by Harsha?
Any issue?
Several dues are still pending.
They won't listen to us.
We share a history with Katari Bank.
They gave us crores
worth of business with Harsha.
Now, they are going through a rough patch.
It's been less than two months
since AGM Hari Haran's passing.
Now, they're trying
to sort out a lot of issues.
So, on humanitarian grounds,
clear these BRs.
Sir, with all due respect,
I can allow them two to three weeks to
clear their dues on humanitarian grounds.
But considering Magadha Bank's
financial interests,
we simply can't issue new BRs.
Wouldn't you do it even if I told you to?
I won't do anything I don't like.
I don't like the way
you're talking to me.
I too don't appreciate how you're speaking
to me in front of a broker's PA.
How dare you?
What do you think, Suraj?
If you complain like you do
to the school principal,
did you expect me to be scared?
You're crossing your limits, Baskhar.
No, sir.
These are my job limits.
I don't have the courage
to go beyond them.
If you do, sign it.
I'll take this up with the chairman.
I'll see your end.
Not necessary, sir.
This is my resignation letter.
I've been carrying it in my pocket
for the past month.
I'll submit it to the HR department.
Read it when you have time.
Sir. What is this?
Bloody hell!
Reena ma'am, my resignation.
What happened?
- What happened, Baskhar?
- Sir!
Baskhar!
Baskhar. This bank is yours.
You did a great job.
What happened all of a sudden?
Sir, this bank has provided for me.
It is equivalent to my mother.
It's wrong to lie to my mother.
Betraying the bank is a grave offense.
I can't stay here any longer.
Bye everyone.
- Baskhar!
- Baskhar!
What's all this, sir?
What's going on?
He's gone mad.
- Hello?
- Baskhar, this is Latha.
Yes, Latha ma'am.
We received a fax from the RBI.
They're coming to inspect
our bank next week.
I'm not working there anymore, ma'am.
- Inform your GM.
- Yeah. Alright.
I'm Lakshman Rao from CBI.
We couldn't find anything on you.
You've engaged in every financial crime
listed in the law books
without leaving any evidence.
So can I leave, sir?
No. No. How's that possible?
Our CBI officers are pretty determined.
We can't take no for an answer.
We'll find a reason to implicate you.
For example, one remark in your case.
A report that states further inquiry
is required in assessing,
Mr. and Mrs. Baskhar's
financial transactions.
We'll send it to the
IT and ED departments.
Both of your accounts will be frozen.
Next, they'll make you run
from pillar to post around their offices.
You'll not see a single paisa.
You won't sleep peacefully for a minute.
Your family will be ruined.
Okay! Okay!
Why do I want all these fights?
You want us to let you go
so you can live peacefully?
I have a deal for you.
Write a check
in the name of Grow High company.
For 100 crore rupees.
Harsha will transfer
that amount to his account.
He'll pay it to your bank.
When RBI comes for an inspection,
the bank's money will be in the bank.
You can be happy.
No one will suspect a thing.
All of this chaos since morning
was it for the funds in my account?
We only found this, sir.
An empty checkbook.
Yes, Baskhar.
Lakshman, I'll take it from here.
Sir. Boys.
- And, Vinod?
- Sir.
- Will you issue a checkbook?
- Okay, sir.
On Friday's date.
Else, there'll be doubts.
I'll do that, sir.
Come, Baskhar. Sit.
Baskhar
We promoted you
to get signatures on the BRs.
With these BRs,
a lot of people put the bank's money
in the share market.
The problem began
when Harsha got greedy.
He needed more money to rig the shares.
That's why, he brought fake bank receipts
into circulation.
This is not just a risk it's a crime.
We shared part of the profits.
We didn't want to take part in the risks.
Because
if these fake receipts are exposed,
the risk is the same for him
and the one who approved them.
That's why we found a scapegoat.
What are you talking about, sir?
He earned a good amount.
When I looked at his bank statements,
I used to feel jealous.
Look, Baskhar.
This is what I like about you.
When you first heard about the scam,
you stayed silent.
You dealt with it with maturity.
You took what you wanted.
But after Hari Haran's passing,
you didn't handle
the situation with maturity.
You weren't willing to sign the BRs.
I get it.
But why did you go to the principal?
Why did you complain about the
irregularities in Magadha Bank?
Ma'am, I'm coming from the Magadha bank.
There's an ongoing fraud in our bank.
Send an inspection notice
to Magadha Bank.
Here!
Yes, Baskhar?
All of a sudden, your decision
to act sincerely isn't enough.
There should also be
other people working sincerely.
Take it!
You caused this mess.
You must clear it.
Baskhar.
You're not feeling sad?
At times, we win in gambling.
Other times, we learn.
The money I got in gambling
got lost in gambling.
My father warned me long ago
about such a situation.
Instead of dwelling on it,
it's better to smile and move on.
Well played, sir.
Convey my regards to Harsha.
Goodbye, sir.
Vinod sir. Bye.
Sir.
He wouldn't snitch on us, would he?
To confront the injustice
he has faced,
he needs a great deal of courage.
He has the courage.
But he doesn't have the courage
to put his family at risk.
He gave us 100 crores today
not because he's afraid.
He did it out of love for his family.
Today, we got this 100 crores
and our problem is solved.
But there's a slight fear.
We can't sleep peacefully at home.
Because
we yearn for what we do not have.
But he's different.
He goes home.
He cherishes joyful moments
with his family.
He sleeps peacefully.
Because
he's content with what he has.
Because
he's a common man.
A common,
middle-class Indian man.
Ma'am, please verify these checks.
Suraj gave them, sir.
Baskhar checks. Worth 100 crores.
So, what?
Clear them.
Baskhar invested in shares, right?
He might have invested in Grow High.
That's not the problem, sir.
It's been ten days since Baskhar
deactivated his account.
Ma'am, this is my
account deactivation letter.
And checkbooks.
He withdrew the entire amount.
Moreover, these checks
were issued two days ago.
Something is wrong, sir.
What is Baskhar's account number?
Sir 865454011766.
It shows that the account is active.
The update was completed in February.
And what about March?
- We updated it in the log book, sir.
- What?
We update it at the end of the month, sir.
What?
What?
Seriously?
Seriously, where is this guy?
Ladies and gentlemen.
We'll arrive in 30 minutes as scheduled.
We wish you a pleasant stay in Boston.
Thank you for choosing us.
Welcome to the United States of America.
This is a huge scam, Dad.
No matter how careful we are,
there's some risk involved.
It'll be better if we all leave the town.
Not the town.
It'll be better if we leave the country.
If you invest one crore rupees in America,
the entire family gets a
conditional green card.
After five years, you'll get citizenship.
- Sir. There's a call for you.
- Yeah. Hello?
- Anthony sir. It's Baskhar.
- How are you, sir?
I need a favor.
Sir, this is Anthony.
There's a hotel up for sale here.
He's quoting 25 million dollars.
Okay for you?
I'm fine with it.
The investment amount must be in white.
You'll need a letter from the Income tax.
Sathyadev Shinde, assistant commissioner.
Meet him once.
Your father helped me a lot
back in the day.
Consider your job done.
RBI should provide a form of approval.
Ramya Dikshit of the RBI.
- What? Are you Prahlad's son?
- Yes, madam.
Old friend.
Tell him I think of him sometimes.
Sure.
All the money has been transferred
to Boston Group of Hotels.
You were issued
the investor' Visa in record time.
Just as promised.
- Congrats.
- Thank you.
Hey, Baskhar.
What do you want me
to do with the car?
Keep it.
- Hey!
- What is it?
Thanks, buddy.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Hey! Who are you guys?
We're here on behalf of the RBI.
We need to check your bank accounts.
Where's your GM?
He's inside, sir.
In the flash raids
on Magadha bank by RBI
Reportedly 100 crore rupees
have gone missing from the bank.
Magadha Bank Chairman, Rajbir Lokhande,
General Manager Vinod Bhosle
was taken into CBI custody.
Several CBI officers picked up
Baskhar sir on Sunday and questioned him.
Based on a statement given by
the security guard of Magadha Bank,
it can be understood that CBI officer
Lakshman Rao too is involved in this scam.
It is related to the Securities
and Bank Receipts fraud case
involving big bull Harsha Mehra.
We have documentation of all transactions
from Harsha Mehra's account to yours.
And you?
You turned CBI into
a private security agency.
Shame on you.
Sir. They got Harsha Mehra.
Come.
If he had intentions of going to America,
instead of leaving silently,
why did he rat us out?
If this scam comes out,
he'll be a criminal.
If he exposes the scam,
you guys will be the criminals.
- But how did he know about us?
- He knew all along.
What?!
He knew the day
he saw Harsha's statements.
That both of you are involved.
He confidently struck a deal with Suraj.
He never dealt with Harsha directly.
He never bought a share
- from the Grow High account.
- Zamda shares.
When you coerced him
into signing the fake BRs,
he realized he was being made a scapegoat.
- Instead of resigning silently,
- Good bye.
- He created a scene and
- Baskhar
he established himself as the victim.
He gave an in-person complaint to RBI
and proved his innocence.
It was Baskhar who brought
this scam to the Reserve Bank's notice.
By the time we cornered him,
he had finished the game.
Well played.
The money walks, the money talks!
The world would end if the money stops
Good evening, sir.
We received a letter from the bank.
Hey, pass it to Dad.
Dad.
This is an American Express credit card.
There's no limit.
One for you.
And one for me.
What?
Nothing.
She knew I did something wrong.
But she never dared to find out.
The reason for me to be
in this position today
is a person's death,
my wife's pain, and my father's words.
How well you've played doesn't matter.
It is when you've chosen to stop.
If I win and then lose,
I'll remember only the loss.
If I lose and then win,
the victory remains in history.
Because history only remembers
how you finished.
I don't know how
history is going to remember me.
How will you remember me?
ALTHOUGH THE STORY TAKES PLACE
ENTIRELY IN MUMBAI, ALL THE CHARACTERS
SPEAK IN TELUGU FOR THE CONVENIENCE
OF THE TELUGU AUDIENCE.
Get tea for me.
Yes.
The calmness in the sea
is seldom seen in the people.
They just keep running.
And the reason?
Money.
There are many ways
to make money in this city.
Jobs, business, politics, lobbying, films,
settlements, and many other ways.
But all these ways
lead to Dalal Street.
The care of address
to the 29-story BSE building.
Welcome to Bombay.
The money capital of India.
- Here you go, Baskhar brother.
- Thank you.
Harsha bhai said that the Bluemoon shares
will increase in a week.
He was right!
Harsha bhai, alias Harsha Mehra.
BSE's power player.
The big bull.
If the stock market is a sea,
he's the whale.
Ninety percent of newspaper buyers
read the front page and the sports page.
He got those people
to read the business page.
He introduced the stock market
to petty shopkeepers and auto drivers.
He showed eyes afraid to dream
how to make dreams come true.
But
this story is not about him.
It's about me.
My name is Baskhar.
Mr. Baskhar
I'm Lakshman Rao.
Chief Investigation Officer from CBI.
You need to come to the bank with us.
- Bank? But, I'm
- You have to come.
- Sir, I'll take a bath
- Did you brush your teeth?
That'll do. Get in the car.
Let's go.
- Open up.
- Hey! Who are you?
CBI!
Open, I say.

- Pull out the account statement.
- Okay, sir.
You sit here.
Print out all of
Baskhar's bank statements.
Okay, sir.
What's all this, sir?
I'll come straight to the point.
There are allegations against you
regarding the misuse of bank funds.
That you are involved in securities
and bank receipts fraud.
That's why CBI is here
to inquire about that matter.
Hello?
Sir, it's your wife.
Sumathi?
CBI, it seems. They are raiding the house.
It's a mayhem!
Don't worry.
They are doing their duty.
Cooperate with them.
I'm hanging up.
Where do we begin?
- Security!
- Yes, sir.
- Turn on the generator.
- It's under repair, sir.
How long is it going to take?
We need an electrician.
It might take 30 minutes.
- Fetch him quickly.
- Should I leave after serving you tea?
Hey! Take care of the fuse first.
Okay, sir.
Where do we begin?
My name is Baskhar Kumar.
I'm a cashier at the Magadha Bank.
My salary is 6000 rupees.
I owe the bank 36000 rupees.

Rajbir Lokhande.
Okay, sir.
Latha ma'am.
Did your daughter recover from fever?
- Yes, she's better. Thank you!
- That's a relief!
The sweets you gave me yesterday
were delicious, ma'am.
- Everybody at home loved them!
- Thanks, Baskhar!
This is Regional Manager Himanshu Sir.
Very short-tempered.
- Everything alright?
- He's such a bother.
Really proud of you.
- Good job, Baskhar. Good job.
- Thank you, sir.
Try to get more FDs for the bank.
Your growth lies in the bank's growth.
Assistant Regional Manager,
Athish Kulkarni.
He's due to retire in a month.
If I meet the year-end targets,
Himanshu sir promised he'd
strongly recommend me for that post.

- No, sir.
- Hasn't come yet?
- Sorry, I'm late.
Mr. Narayanan, Vault Manager.
Arrives late, leaves the bank early.
Okay, sir.

These are the bank ledgers.
We maintain the bank accounts in these.

GM Vinod sir and AGM Srikanth sir.
The main pillars of the bank.
I've been the best employee
for the past three years.
I'm proud of these awards.
Maruti 800. My favorite car.
The bank seized it from a loan defaulter.
It's been here for the past six months.
To purchase that, you first need to repay
the outstanding loan.
Samba, my best friend.
We studied together till the tenth grade.
I passed and became a cashier.
He failed to become a peon.
My partner in crime.
I've got a side business too.
Hundreds visit the bank daily.
Many don't even know
how to write a check.
- Write it yourself.
- Next.
- Could you fill out this form?
- Next counter.
I help such neglected customers
for a nominal fee.
My name is Anthony.
And this is my loan application.
- How much is the loan amount?
- Two lakhs.
- What's the collateral?
- Nothing, sir. Everything is gone.
I've got a port trading license card.
This won't do.
- Sir. Please, sir.
- Next!
This is the colony where I live.
I'm sought after by a lot of people here.
Not because they like me.
But because I owe them.
Seven hundred and fifty.
Five hundred and sixty.
A thousand rupees to her.
- To the guy who's shouting 1200 rupees!
- Baskhar bhai!
- Patel Bhai, 10,000 rupees.
- Money! When will you return my money?
I need some more time. Please.
- Shut up! You moron!
- Bhai.
If you don't pay at least
the interest next month,
I'll show you what I am!
Sure, bhai!
Next month for sure.
- Get lost! Go!
- Definitely! Thank you, bhai.
This is my house in Bombay's townside.
My father built it.
A brother studying engineering.
This is not for me.
A sister pursuing a degree
simply as a pastime.
Mom. She left us in childhood.
Father. Prahlad Kumar.
Once a renowned
Chartered Accountant in Bombay.
But now a nobody.
He invested in a business with friends
ten years ago and got duped.
He suffered a paralysis stroke.
The pain of being deceived
made him stop talking to everyone.
Despite all my hardships
and living in borderline poverty,
she chose to marry me
even against her family's wishes.
Sumathi. My strength. My wife.
She dreams of setting up
a home foods business one day.
This is freshly made.
- Here you go.
- Hi, Mom!
- And this is my six-year-old son, Karthik.
- Daddy!
- How was school?
- It was good!
Fifty rupees.
- Shall we change?
- Yes.
And the masters of the universe.
- He-Man!
- Karthik!
Put on this T-shirt.
The same T-shirt every day.
You'd look like a hero. Put it on.
If you're late, you'll miss
Arun brother-in-law's cake cutting.
- Are you ready?
- Almost.
- Okay.
- Hey.
- Wear it.
- Should we buy a gift on the way?
Mom has asked to wear this.
A gift?
Buying a gift
Mom! Can I play with the He-Man toy?
He-Man toy, Mom!
Thank you, Karthik.
Poor thing! Did you give away his toy?
It's alright.
I told him we'd buy a bigger toy
for his next birthday. He agreed.
How can you be so late, dear?
Greetings, mother-in-law.
Come.
I have to talk with you.
All are here. Please come fast.
Greetings, Mr. Ramesh.
All good? How are you, dear?
- Hello, how are you?
- Hello.
- Hello, brother-in-law.
- Hello, brother-in-law.
Mr. Rao! Greetings!
Why are you late, sir?
I asked you to inquire
about the home foods business. Have you?
Yes, but he mentioned
there's an existing loan.
He plans to take another one
after repaying it.
Right! That's going to happen.
And your life's going to change.
Listen to me
and come home with your child.
Your brother will show you a way.
- You are still young, so getting married...
- Mom!
What nonsense!
Without any thought or context!
- Can I have a bigger piece, sister?
- This is what you deserve.
Karthik!
He's a kid, right?
I was afraid he'd waste it.
- I'll get you another piece, Karthik.
- Set the plate down.
But Mom, the cake
Set the plate down.
Baskhar. Come, let's go.
- I'm speaking to brother-in-law.
- There's no need. Let's leave.
- What's wrong?
- We'll take leave, brother.
- Sumathi.
- Hey, stop. What's wrong?
What's wrong, Sumathi?
Why are you leaving?
Eat something before you leave.
I'm already full.
- What happened?
- No clue, mother-in-law.
- Three vada pav please, brother.
- Twelve rupees.
- Mom, hurry. I am starving.
- Wait, he's getting it.
- He'll bring it.
- Make it two.
Hurry!
Give me the money, sir.
Here. Three vada pav.
- Thank you.
- We'll settle this later.
Thank you, brother.
I'm hungry. I need another one.
Take this one too.
But what about you?
I've eaten. Have it, dear.
What's wrong, Sumathi?
Sumathi. Hey!
Look there, dear.
The girl is dancing so well.
Will you go there and eat?
Go.
They don't even like to feed our kid
and they're supposed to be my people.
Only because we are poor, right?
Money brings respect, love,
and everything.
Let's earn.
I, too, will earn.
Get me a loan. I'll earn a lot
with my home foods business.
That will teach them a lesson.
Eat first.
I'm not hungry. You eat it.
Don't lie.
- Stop fooling around.
- Didn't you fool Karthik?
Alright. Half-half?
I don't want anything.
Enough of the anger, my dear lady
Calm down a bit, my gentle lady
With a daisy-like smile
That's disarming
Even when frowning
You look so charming
In moments of joy
If we forget our sorrow
Who's to stop the happy tomorrow?
Enough of the anger, my dear lady
Calm down a bit, my gentle lady
Your words are soft as butter
End the sulk, don't stutter
Why do you belittle
The language of silence?
Those waves and trees
They beg you to ease
They tell me to melt
As if nothing is felt
Can't win an argument with you
O' charming lady
Enough of the teasing, dear sir
In the end, you men always win
- This fool is not understanding.
- He'll take care of it.
Wonderful!
- Good job.
- Thank you, sir.
Daddy!
- Hey!
- But the scooter is right here, ma'am.
- Isn't he here, Mom?
- No.
He went by bus today.
What is this, ma'am?
This soothing cool breeze won't return
Being with you, I never lack a thing
See, even the day agrees
Happiness is just you and me
Yet you play your usual game
But I wish you'd quit the same
With you, I forget the world
You're wonderful, dear sir
This Mrs. approves of you for sure
- Happy retirement, sir.
- Thank you, Baskhar.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you, sir.
What's up, dude?
Is the chair calling you?
What would your salary be
as an assistant manager?
At least 12000 rupees.
Wow! All our issues would be solved.
I first need to buy
you a good necklace.
That can wait.
- Sir.
- Go, I'll handle it.
- Greetings, sir.
- Yesterday, you
- Anthony, sir.
- I said it's not possible, right?
- Sir, just once Please, sir.
- Samba. Deal with this.
I'll settle this by the time
you bring a dilkush. Go, sir.
- I asked him to come.
- Why?
It seems his stock got stuck at the port.
He says if we release it for two lakhs,
we can sell it in the market
for double the money in an hour.
And what would that be?
Hope it's not drugs.
No, sir.
Electronics.
TV sets.
The ship's name is Casablanca.
The ship's captain, George,
is a good friend of mine.
With his help, I imported
30 TVs from Malaysia.
They are worth 2,50,000 rupees.
And 50,000 was the advance.
We had a deal to pay the full amount
at the time of delivery.
My financiers backed off.
I couldn't arrange the money.
I offered to pay him
after selling the goods,
but George doesn't agree.
You have one month.
Pay up and take the stock.
He threatens to auction the goods
if I don't pay in time.
Please show me a way.
I understand your pain.
But this is a bank.
Rules don't allow it.
Sir, come back after smoke.
Please go, sir.
Why not ask your brother-in-law?
He earns a lot in real estate.
He doesn't even consider me a human.
Why would he lend me two lakhs?
Tell him we'll pay three percent interest.
And?
We'll give him a ten percent interest.
We can earn 20,000 in a day.
That's fine by me.
Done smoking already?
You haven't given me the matchbox.
My brother-in-law
definitely won't give me any money.
And this Anthony is not letting me go.
I need to escape this somehow.
Alright, let me think about it.
This is my visiting card, sir.
Call me anytime
and I'll be here within five minutes.
Bye, sir.
Patel bhai!
How are you?
What's happening?
Are you trying to outsmart me?
How many times do I visit your house?
No, brother.
I'll get promoted in a day or two...
Stop it!
Are you pulling a hoax
on me again?
How many times will you say this?
You've said this so many times.
- I trusted you every single time!
- Patel bhai, not here, please.
Come on, give me my money!
Give me my money!
Wallet! Wallet! Wallet!
Bring me your wallet!
- Where is your wallet?
- Patel bhai
Bring me your wallet!
Give it to me right now.
Make it fast!
- I'll give it.
- Make it fast, man.
- Bhai The purse...
- Damn! Even this is empty.
How will you give my money?
How will you ever repay it?
Scooter! Scooter!
Scooter keys!
- Give me the scooter keys!
- Bhai
- I need my scooter, bhai. Please.
- Scooter Give me the keys to it.
- Scooter keys!
- Bhai please leave it!
- Give me your scooter keys!
- I need to go to work, bhai
- Bhai No.
- Scooter keys! Scooter keys!
Clear the interest
and take your scooter.
Patel bhai, please.
Move away!
- Taxi! Brother, stop.
- Where are you headed?
- Will you drop me at Colaba?
- It will be 20 rupees.
How much will you give?
Greetings.
Good morning, everybody.
The new assistant regional
manager of Magadha Bank, Colaba
is Mr. Sudheer Chatterjee.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I'm really sorry, Baskhar.
I was sure you were
going to be the manager.
Your name was
on the list till yesterday, Baskhar.
Good morning, sir.
Sorry, Baskhar. I tried my best.
It was GM's call.
It's okay, sir.
It's unfair, man!
The regional manager deliberately
blocked your promotion.
Let it go. The decision
was up to the General Manager.
Poor Mr. Himanshu, what will he do?
How long will you trust
that good-for-nothing guy?
Check this out.
I found this while cleaning
GM sir's room a while ago.
Can you see your name here?
Besides Sudheer's,
is there another name?
They are both Bengalis belonging
to the same caste.
They say he must have also taken a bribe.
Come, Baskhar.
Where did you find this?
Sir, I was the Best Employee of the Year
for three years.
And I never missed
a single day at the office.
What's my mistake here?
Sir, please explain what
I could have done more.
It's not like that. Just listen to me.
Did you know how many FD accounts
I opened for the bank?
I did everything you asked, sir.
I put my blood into it.
Didn't you at least feel like
mentioning my name?
Can you stop being emotional?
Please have a seat.
You said you were
proud of me just yesterday.
There were a lot of permutations
and combinations involved in this.
That's how we took this decision.
What permutations
and combinations, sir!
He's a Bengali, and I'm not.
Isn't that it?
Enough!
Stop it!
Not another word.
Just because I've been lenient,
don't take advantage of that.
Leave the door open.
Everyone should listen to
what I'm about to say.
Does everyone here think that
I favored him because he's a Bengali?
Look at me.
He's better than you.
He has opened more FD accounts
in this bank than you have.
That, too, they're higher-valued deposits.
Besides, he didn't run a parallel
business like you did sitting in a cafe.
No, sir.
It's not what you think.
- I was helping the customers.
- What?
Do you think I'm unaware of your
petty business at that Irani Cafe?
Do you even realize
what you're doing is illegal?
Do you know what will happen
if I inform the GM about this?
- Should I tell him?
- Sir Sorry, sir!
- Leave it, sir.
- Why should I leave it?
You made such a strong
accusation against me!
You have accused me of favoring
people based on caste and region!
Sir, I said that
in the heat of the moment.
Let me tell you one thing.
You needed an emergency room
in one day. Who got it for you?
- This Bengali!
- Sorry, sir.
You received an extra 500 rupees
increment in the middle of the year.
Who got it for you?
This Bengali!
- I'm grateful, sir. Sir. Please, sir.
- No, you're not grateful at all.
- No. No. No. You're not grateful.
- Sir
- Stop doing all this stuff!
- Sorry, sir.
Cut the drama.
Let's settle this with the GM.
- I'm very sorry, sir.
- Stop it, I say.
- Don't fall at my feet. Stop it!
- Please, sir.
- Enough! Enough! Just stop this crying!
- Sorry, sir.
Sir, sir, sir.
Have some mercy.
He realized his mistake.
Please forgive him. Please, sir.
His career will be at stake
if you file a complaint, sir.
- Spare him, sir.
- Please, sir.
Yes, sir, please let it go.
He is apologizing, right?
Okay, now.
Stop crying.
Work hard like Sudheer,
you too will grow.
I'll leave this matter here.
Now please take him away.
- Okay, sir. Baskhar
- Sorry, sir
Let's go.
I'm very sorry, Sudheer.
Samba.
I have a terrible headache.
Please bring me some strong tea.
Is the Vimal Group's DD ready,
Latha ma'am?
Latha ma'am?
I'll send it with Samba
as soon as it's ready.
- It's not done yet.
- Okay.
Mr. Narayanan, haven't you left yet?
Yeah, I'll leave
after giving the file.
I'll take care of it.
You leave.
Give me.
- Here's your tea.
- Thanks, buddy.
Next.
- Here's your file.
- Keep it there.
Who's next?
Baskhar
- Is everything fine?
- It's superb!
Hey, clean it properly.
What are you doing?
- Okay, sir. Yes, sir.
- Clean it fast!
Hey, Baskhar, it's my wife's birthday.
I thought I'd surprise her.
I purchased it in the internal auction.
It's nice, right?
Alright, I'll leave now.
Sir
I'm sorry
for what happened this morning, sir.
Man, I've already forgotten about that.
Leave it.
Thank you, sir.
Bye, sir.
How are you holding up?
Half an hour of the day went
differently than expected. That's it.
I can't spend my whole life
crying over it.
Wow. Hats off
to this positive attitude, Baskhar.
Thank you, ma'am.
Bye, sir.
Come. Let's go.
Hey
I haven't eaten anything since morning.
Can you get me tea and samosa?
- Okay.
- Let's go.
- Sir, you forgot your box.
- Thank you.
Sir.
Greetings, sir.
Here, he comes!
Look, Mr. Anthony,
my friend's in a bad mood.
Spare him for today.
Stop it, dude.
Mr. Anthony, please take a seat.
Why now?
What will you have?
- Tea, coffee?
- No, sir.
What's the matter with your cargo, sir?
Did you get it released from the port?
No, sir.
The money still needs to be arranged.
The goods are being
auctioned in another hour.
What now, sir?
If you have two lakhs right now,
can you save your goods?
Within two hours,
I can show you how to earn
one rupee for every rupee invested.
Show us, sir. Earn it.
But you must give us twenty percent
of every rupee you earn.
Ten percent to him.
Ten percent to me.
Okay, sir. I'll make one
phone call and come, sir.
- Sure.
- I must stop the auction.
Alright.
Where did you get this money?
- Take care.
- Bye, sir.
Hey, you've been sincere till now.
So why this sudden change?
If anything goes wrong,
you'll end up in prison.
In two days, I have to take my father
to the hospital for a checkup.
My son's school fee is due this week.
I was supposed to pay
my brother's and sister's college fees.
They are all expecting me
to come home with a promotion.
That Patel guy snuck away
with my scooter.
I don't have money in my pocket
to buy a bus ticket to go home.
I don't even have a pocket.
What's poverty if not this?
So be it. It's my life
that's at stake here.
If I get lucky, it's for
the betterment of my entire family.
I lost so much in a single day.
Enough of it.
I will return home as a winner.
I spoke with George, sir.
He's agreed to call off the auction
only if I bring the money.
We're in this together now.
Don't lead me into the darkness.
Trust me, sir.
There's a lot of demand
for electronic items in India today.
There is a higher demand for
imported brands like Sony and Panasonic.
If you want to buy it here at the MRP,
it will cost between thirty-five
and forty thousand rupees.
The same TV in countries like Malaysia,
Singapore, and the Gulf
is available for
only twelve thousand rupees.
In bulk, you can get it
for eight or nine thousand rupees.
Why's there such a difference?
They impose many taxes,
like import duty, which makes it costly.
However, there's a workaround
to bypass all these taxes.
Spare parts.
Spare parts?
There is zero tax on
spare parts in our country.
So we'll declare
these TVs as spare parts,
get them through
someone we know,
and get them past the port.
What about the customs officials?
There are more expensive officers
than honest ones in the port.
Brother, please stop here.
Sir, we'll get off here.
Come home when you are done.
Get down, dude.
- I'll stay.
- Why?
My friend trusts easily,
but I'm a cautious man.
We'll go.
What is this I'm hearing?
Did you fight with Patel?
Did he take away the scooter?
Everyone in the colony
is talking about it.
The promotion went to someone else.
He said they'll be back in two hours.
But they're still not here.
What if the goods were already auctioned?
I'm sorry, brother.
You're late.
The items were sold out.
Is Anthony trustworthy?
Let's leave.
Sir Please wait, sir.
Did both of them cheat me?
Did the customs officials catch them?
Dear, Samba brother is here.
We made a profit of 2,50,000 rupees.
Here's the two lakhs you
gave as an investment.
Your share is fifty thousand.
Thank you, sir, for trusting me.
Thank you, sir, for keeping your word.
Anthony sir arrived
on time and saved the day.
Or else, what would we do
with those two lakhs?
Who came on time, sir?
He's the one who asked me
to come at that time.
- Mr. Anthony. This is Baskhar.
- Sir.
- Magadha Bank.
- Tell me, sir.
Please be at Yazdani Cafe
at 04.30 p.m. sharp.
Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four,
twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven
Your interest and the principal amount.
How?
Give me the keys.
- Money?
- Paid.
But how?
- Did the vault security arrive?
- No, sir.
On Monday morning,
I'll come earlier than everyone else
and put the money in the cash counter.
What about the register?
I wrote two lakhs less today.
I will write two lakhs more
on Monday and adjust it.
Baskhar sir, you came
so early today!
There was no traffic today.
How can you be so sincere?
Oh, yeah! Come on!
Hey, come on!
Bravo, brother!
Lift your collar and roam with pride
The goddess of fortune has blessed you
Watch the fun
Your stars are aligned
Your luck is on the rise
No one can stop you now
Your time begins today
You, lucky Baskhar!
Oh, yeah
- Lucky, Baskhar!
- One more time, I'll sing!
You, lucky Baskhar!
You, lucky Baskhar!
Your loan has been cleared, Baskhar.
Strength is yours
Wit is yours
All these skills
Are for survival, aren't they?
Rise, noble man
Sharpen your mind
Dive in, brave one
Crack open the lockers
Enough of the ups and downs
Leave fear behind, live like a king
You can't get away
with money every time, sir.
- Sometimes, parties like this are needed.
- Dance with money
You, lucky Baskhar!
Lucky Baskhar!
Lucky
You, lucky Baskhar!
You, lucky Baskhar!
You, lucky Baskhar!
Oh, lucky Baskhar!
Yeah!
Eat.
Of late, your behavior has been strange.
Especially since you missed out
on the manager post.
I was scared you'd be depressed.
But
But?
You've been happy since.
You're coming home drunk
- and spending money at will.
- Softly!
You didn't even come home last night.
Have you taken up any vices?
Stop it!
Have you lost it?
Would anyone with such a beautiful wife
go elsewhere?
Maybe you're bored of me.
I'm spending money. But for whom?
For you. For my family.
Yes, but how are you able to afford it?
Promise you'll keep it
between us and I'll tell you.
I promise I won't tell a soul.
- You know my friend, Anthony, right?
- Yes.
I started an import-export business
with him.
I'm keeping it a secret
because I'm a bank employee.
And the investment?
I took it from the bank.
Another bank loan?
The profits are good.
All this with that money.
What about the loans?
I repaid them.
If you observe correctly,
I haven't lied.
I intelligently masked the truth.
Buy yourself a good necklace.
No.
It's Karthik's birthday next week, right?
Shall we invite everyone
and celebrate this time?
We couldn't do it before.
Alright, as you please.
Welcome. Welcome.
Thank you.
Sumathi, I've talked about him, right?
My business partner, Mr. Anthony.
- Greetings.
- Greetings.
That party became
the talk of the town in our colony.
The relatives couldn't digest it.
My colleagues were stunned.
Even the kids were burning with jealousy.
But many questions.
- What's with the spending?
- I received a bonus, brother-in-law.
My brother-in-law
is throwing this party, sir.
Cheers!
My son landed a job in America.
He's asking me to move to America.
So, will you leave, sir?
If I go now, I'll be living off him.
I don't want that.
Why is that, sir?
Whatever I've earned so far has gone
into his education and repaying loans.
I'm in a similar boat, sir.
I haven't saved a single rupee so far.
I won't go to America
with empty hands, for sure.
There's a big deal.
A ship from Dubai
is scheduled to arrive this Saturday.
Three foreign cars are being shipped.
If we can put together ten lakh rupees,
our profits won't just double
they will quadruple.
Jackpot!
But this time
we can split it three ways.
- Dude
- Hey, stop.
Ten lakhs is a huge amount.
It's hard to procure.
Think about it and tell me in two days.
This could be my last deal.
I'll take your leave now, sir.
Sir.
Hey, dude.
- Think about it once.
- No chance. Leave now.
- Good night, brother.
- Good night.
What's that?
Your friend Anthony gifted it.
How did it go?
Simply great!
Is he happy?
Ask him yourself.
Are you happy, dear?
Enjoyed?
What about your friends?
Leave the game and speak to me.
Karthik, dear?
- Why are you crying?
- Dear!
- Did someone say something?
- What's wrong?
Thank you very much, Dad.
- Thank you, Mom.
- What's wrong, dear?
My friends used to make fun of me, Dad.
That, "Karthik attends everyone's
birthday party and has cake for free."
But he never throws a birthday party."
No one will tease me after today.
Arun used to say I wore the same T-shirt
whenever I visited his home.
He used to ask
if I didn't have another one.
He was shocked
to see me in this suit, Mom.
I'll obey everything you say from today.
I'll wake up early and study well.
Also, don't buy me toys until I grow up.
This is when you start to think
that there's nothing wrong
with taking risks for family.
- Anthony sir?
- Yes, sir.
I'm in.
The money will be arranged
by Saturday evening.
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, Ramji.
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.
What's the deal
with the suitcase, Baskhar?
- I'm going out of town this evening, sir.
- Oh.
I don't have time to go home. So
Nice! Good thinking!
Why are you so early today, sir?
Actually
He probably thought it wouldn't be good
to be late even on a Saturday.
Her dose of sarcasm
has increased these days.
Alright, leave it inside.
- We've got work inside the vault.
- Be right there, sir.
Isn't this enough?
Why take more?
It's alright, sir.
I'll put back the excess.
Suit yourself.
You're the one carrying it.
- Alright, Baskhar. You may leave.
- Okay, sir.
- Ma'am, tea.
- Thank you.
- What's your name?
- I'm bringing it, sir.
I heard Ms. Riya makes great biryani.
So I asked her to bring me some.
Isn't he leaving today?
- I got sick of Biryani after that.
- So you're also a victim!
Time!
Today's deposits came to 9,15,250 rupees.
- I entered the same in the ledger.
- Okay.
- No marriage proposal is working out.
- Oh, is it?
- Why not try some rituals?
- Isn't he leaving yet?
- Let me try that too.
- Hold on, dude.
- Can you recommend a priest?
- Definitely. Let me find out.
- Narayanan sir.
- Yes, Baskhar.
Are you staying?
Or do you want me to take care of it?
I'll stay. Half day, right?
- He messed up the plan.
- Samba!
You unnecessarily disturbed the oldie.
He'd have left calmly.
- What did I do?
- Why did you ask if he's staying?
Latha laughed,
wounding the old man's pride.
- Baskhar.
- Sir.
- It's time. Shall we leave?
- Right away.
I'm so mad, I can't even yell!
Now what do we do?
- Baskhar. Come.
- Sir.
I've arranged everything.
Keep it inside. We'll leave.
Hello? Yes, he's here.
Narayanan, sir. Call for you.
- Who's this?
- Do one thing.
Go out and call Narayanan sir.
Engage him for ten minutes.
I'll manage something.
- Mr. Narayanan?
- It's me.
- What should I speak for ten minutes?
- Anything!
Speak about
his daughter's marriage proposal.
- Is Astalakshmi your daughter?
- Yes, she is.
- Hey!
- What?
Superb idea, dude.
I'm Vishwanatha Sastry.
Calling from Hyderabad.
Cross the line
Change your fate
Hail, common man!
Gather wealth
If you can send the horoscope
For the good of those you trust
All the good and bad
Hide them in your heart
Lighten your life's burdens
And laugh a bit
She studied in Bombay.
- What did she study?
- B.Com.
Baskhar, I'll need some time.
Please keep it inside.
Win the war, hero
Your battle is your own, isn't it?
Che Guevara!
You, lucky Baskhar!
You, lucky Baskhar!
- Oh, yeah!
- You, lucky Baskhar!
- One more time, I'll sing!
- You, lucky, Baskhar!
- How much longer?
- There he comes.
Come, Ismail.
- Why are you late?
- Everything is messed up!
- What's wrong?
- There was a raid at the showroom.
Bhai was arrested.
What are you saying?
What about the cars?
What can we do when the boss is in jail?
We'll figure out something next month.
- Hey, Ismail!
- Ismail!
Ten lakhs before Monday!
How will we Damn it!
Hey, Anthony!
You conned us!
- Stop, dude.
- I did?
Yes, you! If something goes wrong
with the money, he's doomed.
Stop, dude!
Cool down, Samba!
Do you realize
what you're saying and to whom?
We need to stick together
during ups and downs.
No, sir.
Driven by greed,
I've led us to this predicament.
It was my mistake.
- I should be blamed.
- Stop it, sir.
Stop thinking with fear
and use your brains.
Last time, when you did not get
a good price for your TVs,
you changed your vendor, right?
That's right, sir.
Similarly, we don't have Ismail now.
His boss is in jail.
Can't we find
another car dealer in Bombay?
Think about it.
In Bombay, Pune, and all of Maharashtra
isn't there a single car dealer
who can buy three foreign cars?
Will he be able to do it?
He'll be back.
Stay calm for a while.
Sir, I found a buyer in Goa.
He's a resort owner.
- Hello?
- Hello? It's me.
Where have you been?
Why aren't you home?
I'm on my way to Goa
on an important business.
I'll be back tomorrow evening.
Okay, bye.
Hello? Hello?
Hey, have you brought it?
The number plates
and fake RC books you asked for.
Okay.
Government vehicle number plates.
RC book, license. Alright, move.
Stop.
RC book, license.
Alright, you can go.
Why check a government vehicle?
I told you I'm at the checkpoint.
I'll call you later.
Hang up the phone!
Here.
Sir! Sir!
- Ask them to get out.
- Hey, get out!
Do you even know how to drive?
- Sir that is
- Give me your license.
Will you run me over?
- I asked for your license!
- Sir.
Sir, listen to me, sir
Where are you going at this hour?
Pull over.
What's wrong, sir?
Your guy is crossing the limits.
He's driving without a license.
I forgot.
- How can you forget the license?
- Sir!
- VIPs are inside, sir.
- VIPs?
- Yes, sir.
- In this car? Ask them to get out.
What's wrong?
Who dared to stop the car?
Was that you? You?
If Mr. Sharath finds out you stopped
the car, you'll be transferred.
- Who the hell is Sharath?
- CM Sharath Bhaval, sir.
The CM?!
Give me the phone! Now!
Give me the phone!
- This is government property.
- I'm the government. Hand it over.
- Please give me the phone.
- Give it, sir.
- Please give me.
- I won't.
Please give me the phone.
In the name of God,
please give me the phone, sir.
In the name of God,
please give me ten rupees, sir.
In the name of God,
please give me the phone, sir.
Sir!
Why is he begging?
Government vehicle number plate.
If we have this, no one can stop us.
What if they do?
They're bound to suspect us.
We need someone from the government
inside the vehicle.
Since it's a foreign car,
he should hold a high position.
How?
Will you come to Goa with us?
- Goa?
- But not like this.
- How, then?
- That's how.
Pull out the Independence Day
outfit of Mr. Nehru.
How can anyone believe
these beggars to be politicians?
He got used to it,
begging for votes, sir.
I think something's fishy.
Sir, are you an MLA or an MP?
- Which constituency?
- Which consultancy?
- Tell me, sir
- Tell him. He's asking
Anthony sir.
- Sir, that girl who danced at the port.
- Mona.
What if someone from
the checkpoint has the same doubt?
That's right!
We need a spicy diversion.
What's wrong?
She is the heroine
in Sanjay Dutt's new movie.
- Why is she going to Goa with them?
- You are not a child, sir.
This guy hurt me.
- Sir!
- So, I'm going to fire him.
- Yes, do it.
- Ma'am!
- I'll see his end.
- That's right.
- Ma'am.
- Not just this state.
I'll ensure he doesn't find a job
anywhere in the country.
- Go ahead!
- What's this, boss?
He says he wants to
do it and she is encouraging him.
Life is at stake, boss!
The wife will leave me.
Please do something, boss.
- Please wait, sir. Let me speak.
- Please do something, boss.
- I'll sort this. But I need a favor.
- Should I fall at your feet?
- No, no.
- What then?
Call Goa checkpoint
and tell them not to stop our cars.
- Right away, boss.
- I'll transfer him to a forest area.
- What?
- Sir, he's a family man, sir.
- Please, sir.
- Nothing doing. Your sorry won't do.
- Holding my hands also won't do it.
- Spare him, sir!
- Please, spare him, sir.
- Please, sir.
I like how you were begging.
You are excused.
Get lost!
Thank you.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Get in, darling.
- Hey. Call the Goa checkpoint.
- Okay, sir.
Sorry, Anthony sir.
I was tense and called you names.
This is our profit.
20 lakhs.
Take it.
Take it.
- This is for you.
- Why so much?
One thousand per head would do, right?
Imagine where we'd be without them.
Sir!
I want to bow to you
but you are younger than me.
I want to hug you but we're just beggars.
In the name of God,
please hug me, sir.
Sir!
Thank you, sir!
- Thank you.
- Sir.
What about me?
Thank you.
One lakh for a handshake.
What a customer!
Why are we at the airport?
Hey, dude!
Wake up.
Hello, sir.
I spoke with the customs officials.
None would check your suitcase.
- Thanks, dear.
- Okay, sir.
I'm going to my son.
My flight's in three hours.
- Why, sir?
- I told you this is my last deal.
I'll set up a hotel with this money.
Whenever you need something.
I'm just a call away. Remember this, sir.
- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you, sir.
- Bye.
- Bye, sir.
Why is there a police jeep here?
There's commotion inside.
I can't figure out what's going on.
Hey, Baskhar, you're finally here!
Do you know how often
I called your house to reach you?
Your wife told me you were out of town.
I had to make a quick trip
to Goa for some work.
I came straight to the bank.
I didn't even go home.
What exactly is going on, ma'am?
Some mess. There's been a scam.
I'll tell you later.
- Move away!
- Sir?
Hey, move aside!
What's happening, ma'am?
Mr. Himanshu and Sudheer used
to arrange loans from the bank
and they'd charge a
ten percent commission.
The inquiry revealed that
they were doing this.
- Baskhar
- Sir?
We're running out of time.
Let's get the cash.
That Himanshu is a total idiot.
He took a bribe and gave him
that manager post.
- Oh, how he wronged you!
- Let it go, sir.
Baskhar, is it 40?
No, sir. It's 50.
- Fifty? I thought it was 40.
- It's 50, sir.
If you say so.
- What's that?
- My suitcase, sir.
I can see that.
What's it doing here?
I was out of town, sir.
I came straight to the bank.
No time to go home.
Oh! So sincere!
- Nothing like that, sir.
- Open the suitcase.
- Why, sir?
- Open the suitcase.
- Mr. Narayanan. Come here.
- Sir.
Sir.
- Mr. Narayanan.
- Sir?
What was the amount
withdrawn from the vault?
Fifty lakhs, sir.
Can you verify the amount
of cash on the counter?
But why, sir?
- Do as I say.
- Okay, sir.
Open the suitcase.
It's stuck, sir.
Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
It's 50 lakhs, sir.
- Baskhar.
- Sir?
We're running out of time.
Let's get the cash.
- What's that?
- My suitcase, sir.
That's 40 lakhs. And yeah!
Fifty lakhs, sir.
See, Baskhar
I can't trust anyone after
what happened today.
- Continue.
- No problem, sir.
Finally! What an escape!
We don't need the bank money now.
We already have some.
I'll find another deal.
Let's stop.
Why's that?
We got out of it, right?
What more is there?
At the crossroads,
there are signals, right?
Red, yellow, green.
You should proceed with caution
when the signal turns yellow.
And you should stop when it turns red.
The last 48 hours of our lives have been
a yellow signal from God.
What happened in the bank
this morning was a red signal.
That's enough.
I don't know, man!
You can stop if you want to.
But I'll keep playing.
Hey, Samba!
Samba didn't like what I said.
He resigned the very next day
and struck a deal
with a different trader at the port.
He started his own business.
SISTER'S WEDDING
I distributed the six lakhs I earned
equally between my responsibilities.
But, when we hope for something,
they say that God will create
something else.
Brother!
I got a seat
in the London School of Economics.
Top most college in the world.
- Congrats, dear.
- Thank you.
How much is the fee?
It's 5,98,000.
Round figure? Six lakhs.
I can't afford that much.
See if you can do something.
How much will your brother earn here
after studying Engineering?
Three thousand?
Let's say 6000.
If he completes his studies there?
The starting salary itself is 60,000.
- Monthly?
- Yes.
Please, brother.
SISTER'S WEDDING
BROTHER'S EDUCATION
Please.
SUMATHI HOME FOODS BUSINESS
KARTHIK'S FUTURE
Please.
DAD
- Is the Chairman here?
- Yes, sir.
What's this car doing here?
I heard they brought it from
Mr. Himanshu's house, sir.
Baskhar, the chairman
wants to see you.
Hey, there, Baskhar!
Please come in.
Good morning, sir.
Oh! So, this is Mr. Baskhar.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, come in.
Sit.
I have been hearing a lot of things
about you from the GM Vinod.
I hope it's all good things, sir.
I'll tell you.
Because of the mess
that took place in this bank,
the bank has lost its reputation.
That's why
we're restructuring all our branches.
Firstly in this branch,
the posts of the regional manager
and the assistant regional manager
are being filled.
The AGM post too.
Because the AGM is being transferred
to the Bangalore branch.
He has his family there.
And he's pretty happy about it.
There will also be a lot of layoffs.
Mr. Iqbal is part of
the Himanshu scam.
If you have to cry, get out of the room.
Please!
Please take him away.
Yes.
Where were we?
Layoffs, sir.
And there are a few promotions, too.
Sir!
Never before
in the history of the banking sector
has there been a promotion
of a junior-level employee
straight to the senior management level.
Sir?
Congratulations, Mr. Baskhar!
You've been promoted to AGM
of the Colaba branch in Bombay,
Magadha Bank.
Your salary will be 19,500 rupees,
plus travel allowance
plus many other perks.
Is there anything else you desire?
There's one thing, sir.
What is it?
What happened?
I got promoted
to Assistant General Manager.
Whose car is that?
It's ours.
Wait,
the real story is just beginning.
Sir, you must see this.
Hundred crore rupees in the account
of an ordinary bank employee?
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
To be precise,
it's 1,00,00,08,253 rupees, sir!
Yes, sir.
Even I was shocked.
Sir
I will report to you
once the investigation is complete.
I'll take leave now.
Mr. Baskhar
For the first six months
after your promotion as the AGM
every month, 19,500 rupees
were credited to your account.
That's my salary, sir.
But after that,
massive amounts were credited.
How'd you explain
these statements?
GM Vinod is busy with the
Bengaluru branch operations.
So?
Therefore, I am going to assign
you some additional responsibilities.
Especially, Harsha.
He's a treasured
and trusted client of ours.
He will bring several crores of
rupees worth of business to this bank.
You'll have to take extra care
to look after him.
Sure, sir.
Good.
- Thank you, sir.
- Okay, all the best.
I'm Suraj from Grow High Company.
Harsha bhai wanted
me to give these.
Katari Bank's BRs, sir.
So, what's a BR, sir?
BR is a bank receipt.
Just like banks give loans
to the public and businessmen,
they can lend money
to other banks as well.
They are pledging worth
15 crores and 21 crores, sir.
What does Harsha Mehra
have to do with this, sir?
According to the RBI,
direct bank-to-bank transfers
are a lengthy process.
Working this through
a broker's account would be easy.
That broker is
Harsha Mehra for our bank.
For example,
to lend money to Katari Bank,
Magadha Bank transfers
the amount to Harsha's account.
Harsha in turn transfers the amount
to the Katari Bank.
When Katari Bank repays the loan,
the amount is first deposited
into Harsha's account,
Harsha will then pay
the money back to us.
For this, he's given a commission
of 0.001 percent of the transaction.
- This BR is valid for two weeks only.
- Sir.
- You must return the amount in two weeks.
- Sure, sir.
- With interest.
- Okay, sir.
Sir
There'd be a delay sometimes.
You know, right?
I do. But that can't be repeated.
Thank you.
What's this?
A small gift from
Harsha bhai to sister-in-law.
I can buy these
for sister-in-law, brother.
Not like that sir.
This is for
the client-manager relationship
You'd give a gift
when your client is good.
And if something goes wrong,
you'd complain.
Someone on the ground floor
fell for this three months ago.
We're not like that, sir.
I, too, am not like that.
Two weeks.
Sir.
Thank you, sir.
Do you like it?
Why this now?
I got the promotion, right?
I've been thinking about
gifting you this.
What else?
I have to arrange investment
for your home foods business too.
At least fill in that loan application.
You got the promotion, right?
Sir. Loan application.
Good morning, sir.
Mr. Suraj, please come.
Have a seat.
Repayment check, sir.
Isn't it supposed to be
settled within two weeks?
Four weeks have passed already.
Sir, there was a slight delay in
the wire transfer from the Katari bank.
Drop a word about it
and please settle it on time.
Sure, sir.
Sir, we need
two bank account statements.
Harsha bhai's and Grow High's, sir.
- Hello?
- Latha ma'am
Please bring last year's statements
for Harsha Mehra's and
Grow High's accounts.
- Okay.
- Bring two copies.
- Baskhar.
- Give them to Suraj.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
Latha ma'am
Please deposit these checks.
Sir, one copy of each
is enough for me.
She has brought two copies.
Didn't you ask for two copies?
I meant one copy for each account.
- Oh, sorry.
- It's okay. Leave it there.
Okay, sir.
- I will deposit this.
- Okay. Thank you, ma'am.
- I'll take your leave, sir.
- Okay.
I have the bank statements
of India's wealthiest man in my hands.
The numbers in the account
are mind-boggling.
I noticed a strange pattern
in those statements that day.
November 12th, 1990.
Ten crores were credited from
Magadha Bank to Harsha's account.
On the same day,
ten crores were transferred
from Harsha's account
to Grow High's account.
September 6th, 1990.
From Magadha Bank to Harsha's account,
fifteen crores were credited.
After a day, from Harsha's account
to Grow High account,
15 crores were transferred.
The money credited to
Harsha's account from Magadha Bank,
should rightfully go to Katari Bank.
But, the statement does not mention
the name of Katari Bank anywhere.
Does that mean the money
is not going to Katari Bank?
Is this a clerical error?
Or Is the money
really not reaching Katari Bank?
- Hima.
- Sir.
I have to go out for
some urgent work.
Please postpone all meetings
to tomorrow.
- Okay, sir.
- Thank you.
Sorry, Mr. Baskhar.
- Rules don't allow this.
- What are you saying, sir?
Shouldn't the bank that gave the loan
ask for a simple bank statement
from the bank that took the loan?
I mean, Mr. Baskhar,
it's a long and strenuous process.
My accountant is away.
He's on a one-month-long leave.
After that, we'll be busy
with the bank audit work.
I'm quite busy.
We can try one or two months later.
Why all this, sir?
You're receiving your
interest on time. Right?
What else is the issue?
He got sold.
No problem, sir.
He bought the entire bank.
Mr. Baskhar.
It'd be better
if you spoke to Harsha bhai once.
Why?
He'll take care of you.
The money is clearly
not going to Katari Bank.
But what exactly is
Harsha Mehra doing with this money?
- He rigs the shares, sir.
- What do you mean?
Harsha purchases bulk shares
in his desired company at a low cost.
He makes his men buy
the same company shares
little by little at a high price.
- Come here.
- Sir.
- How much is Bluemoon share today?
- Twenty rupees.
- Buy 20,000 shares at 50 rupees each.
- Okay, sir.
Bluemoon tires are 150 rupees.
Buy one lakh worth of shares.
Buy 15,000 shares of Bluemoon
at 200 rupees each.
He makes them buy until the
company's shares rise in the market.
Once it reaches his desired rate,
he sells all the shares
he's already got of the company.
Sell.
- Sell.
- Yes, sir.
Sell all the shares of Bluemoon.
Sell everything.
He achieves a tenfold profit
in just four weeks.
This is illegal.
But he still does it.
But that requires a lot of money.
They say Harsha holds a lot of money.
Everyone says
it's the black money of politicians.
But according to me,
it is an underworld mafia, sir.
Brother, two biscuits.
Who are you anyway?
I'm the one who lent money to Harsha.
Mafia?
No.
Bank.
Share rigging itself is illegal.
Diverting the loan amount between banks
to the share market
is a much bigger crime.
- Alright.
- Please go to that counter.
- Hello?
- Latha ma'am, Baskhar here.
- Yes, Baskhar.
- I need to speak to the chairman sir.
Can you please find out his
house number and let me know?
Yes, I will. Give me fifteen minutes.
Thank you, ma'am.
Yeah, hello.
Baskhar?
Mr. Suraj is here.
Can I give him your home phone number?
No.
- First, get the chairman's contact number.
- Okay, Baskhar.
Thank you, ma'am.
Do you know what your son
did in school today?
What did he do?
His friend Anuj stole a chocolate
from Akruti's bag in class.
He said he would give half the chocolate
and asked him not to tell the teacher.
He's shamelessly eating
that half of the chocolate.
Why did you do that, dear?
If I had told the teacher,
she would have given
the chocolate to Akruti.
What would I have gotten?
Because I listened to Anuj,
I ended up with half the chocolate.
You're going rogue day by day.
Wait! Karthik
- Hey!
- Hey! I'll straighten you out.
If I had told the teacher,
what would I have gotten?
Because I listened to Anuj,
I ended up with half the chocolate.
- Hello?
- Yeah, Baskhar.
Will you take down
the chairman's phone number?
- Latha ma'am
- Yes, Baskhar.
Is Suraj still there?
Yeah, he's sitting right here.
- Give him my home number.
- Okay, I will.
- Hello?
- Suraj here, sir.
I want to meet you in person, sir.
I mean, in private.
- Suraj?
- He's inside, sir.
Hi, sir.
Please come.
Katari Bank's GM called.
One second, sir.
Sir.
Sir.
Sir, at least look at it.
If Baskhar decides to sell himself,
he will set his own price.
Okay, sir.
Please tell me what you want.
Two things.
In the BR value you bring,
I need a one percent cut
completely in cash.
And the shares you trade,
you should provide the information
one day before buying or selling them.
- Is this final, sir?
- Yes.
Done!
- I put in 25 lakhs, sir. Please count.
- No need.
Can I ask you something, sir?
Earlier, you rejected our gifts.
What changed now, sir?
Leverage.
When we're entering a deal with someone,
we should have the upper hand.
If this arrangement of ours is exposed,
I'll lose my job.
But you will lose your entire empire.
- Be careful.
- Sir!
- I'd like to meet Anwar.
- Okay.
Anwar, someone's here to meet you.
His name is Anwar.
Though he's just eighteen years old,
he is an expert in the underworld
of hawala and money laundering.
Sir, you?
Twenty-five lakhs.
Can you give them to me in white?
Sir, but to do it quickly and
without causing any suspicion,
I think the only option
is a lottery ticket.
JAI JALARAM LOTTERIES
If we give them money,
they will give us the winning ticket.
They take three percent commission,
and I'll take one percent, sir.
- Sumathi. Coffee.
- Yeah. Coming.
Five. Three, three
Five, three, one, three.
Yeah!
Yes!
Lottery!
What happened?
I won a lottery worth twenty-five lakhs!
Yes!
Those addicted to gambling
always think of quitting.
But once they remember how it feels,
they'll find a new reason and restart.
So did I.
This time bigger. And better.
When did brother
buy the lottery ticket?
He didn't even tell me.
When I celebrated my son's birthday
spending twenty-five thousand
I had to tell countless lies.
But today, it's twenty-five lakhs.
Sorry! It's 17,50,000 worth
of white money. After tax.
I'm not answerable to any
dimwit out there anymore!
- Good morning.
- Congratulations, sir!
- Congratulations, Baskhar!
- Thank you.
DESHMUKH TRADERS
I need to open a trading account.
Hello?
Buy as many Zamda shares
as you can by tomorrow, sir.
How many times did I call last night?
Why didn't you answer?
The phone's out of order.
Buy as many Zamda shares as possible
for 17 lakhs as soon as the market opens.
Zamda shares
Buy 17 lakhs worth of shares.
Okay, okay.
Hey, move aside.
- Twenty-six thousand.
- Nineteen.
- Hello?
- It's me, Suraj, sir.
Sell all the Zamda shares
before the market closes today, sir.
Okay.
What's with the traffic?
It's been so for two hours.
There's some protest happening.
- Alright. Keep this inside.
- Okay, sir.
I had to borrow money to get
the phone repaired, sir.
We can talk as long as we wish.
- Why are you panting, sir?
- Sell it off.
Were you jogging?
- Sell it off!
- Sir?
- Zamda shares!
- Sir?
Sell everything before the market closes.
Hey, all of Zamda shares
- Sell them off.
- Okay, bhai.
Sir
You're a genius.
Sir, my life is almost settled
with the two lakhs you gave me.
Thank you, sir.
I'll never forget your deed.
Yeah!
- Sorry, sorry.
- Have you gone nuts?
Sorry. Sorry, brother. Sorry.
Latha ma'am.
Could you please deposit
these checks into my account?
Yeah, sure.
- Baskhar?
- Ma'am.
How did you get into so much money?
I made a profit from the shares.
- Oh! Congratulations!
- Thank you, ma'am.
- Don't tell anyone, it might ruin my luck.
- Yeah. That's alright.
Thank you, ma'am.
Seventy lakhs in shares within two weeks.
Four-and-a-half times profit.
And in one day
you've spent sixty-nine lakhs.
This is Sandeep.
He's in his final year MBA in our college.
I like him.
All of these have become
increasingly common lately.
For the wedding, you can fix
all the dates. But please don't delay.
The wedding must be grand.
Our relatives should be stunned.
Alright, we'll take your leave.
- Sister's wedding has been fixed.
- Really?
- Love, it seems.
- Oh, great.
Shut up, brother.
I've to start the wedding work.
Sumathi.
Will two lakhs be enough for gold
and one lakh for clothes?
Wow!
How much did you earn in shares?
Sir, parking's that way.
- You both go. I'll park and come.
- Okay.
This one's good.
But let's check out the others.
That one. Please show us the one above.
Can we have some water?
Over there, sir.
- How's this?
- Is this better?
And this one?
- Is this okay for you?
- Yes, I like it.
These and two pairs of bangles and this.
How much will that be?
Three lakhs, ma'am.
- Please sign this.
- Sorry, ma'am.
Checks are not accepted.
- Why can't you take it?
- The rules don't allow it, ma'am.
- But the bank...
- Hey! He says the rules don't allow it.
Let's go to the bank
and bring the money.
Sumathi, let's check out
the clothing shop on the way.
- This shirt looks good.
- Sir.
- What can I do for you, sir?
- Wedding shopping. It's for my sister.
Sure sir. In what price range
should I show you?
How much business
does your store see per day?
Sir, it's
- It's alright. You can tell me.
- On regular days about three lakhs, sir.
On festival days, it's six to seven lakhs.
To have that much
business in an hour,
which range should we shop in?
Sir?
So much money?!
Hello, sir.
Let's go to our premium lounge.
This is our exclusive designer collection.
We have all international brands
and designer wear.
These are our tailors.
- Select the cloth.
- Hello, sir.
He'll stitch pants and shirt
within 20 minutes.
Ma'am, if you select
either a sari or a lehenga,
she'll stitch your blouse
within 20 minutes.
Baskhar. What's all this?
From your toes to your head,
buy whatever you need.
I earned that much.
- Is this fine, ma'am?
- Hello!
- Someone, please come here.
- You go.
- I'm already showing them. You go.
- You go, dude.
- That one, on top of that.
- Those are diamonds, ma'am.
They drive a Maruti 800, wear Bata shoes,
and use HMT watches.
The women don't even have
two grams of gold on them.
Can they buy diamonds?
I don't understand why I always
encounter such weird people!
Middle-class mentality, sir.
We save every penny by cutting costs.
But when pride kicks in,
we spend it all without hesitation.
The doors open upwards.
Megastar Chiranjeevi recently bought it.
It's worth 7,50,000 rupees.
Sir, this is Patrol.
Nissan's flagship model.
Six-cylinder. The price is 16 lakhs.
- That much?
- That much?
I didn't just go to buy jewelry, sir.
I wanted to buy his arrogance.
I made the same person
- who insulted me salute me, sir.
- Hello, sir.
Every rupee was worth it, sir.
- Take that one too.
- We didn't like it.
That's alright.
Let's empty the counter.
- Can they afford diamonds?
- Do you think he heard us?
Let him. It's not like he'd get hurt
and purchase the entire counter.
We're short by three lakhs, sir.
We accept checks also, sir.
This is India!
If you want something,
you have to buy it with money.
But if you want respect,
money should be visible on your body.
Wow!
You'll face income tax issues if you win
another lottery within three months, sir.
How else, then?
Sir, money laundering can
be done through hawala.
What do you mean?
Baskhar!
Tell me what it is.
I know many shell companies
in the Gulf, Singapore, and Malaysia.
If we give money to their people here,
they'll transfer the money
from their company account to our account.
One minute. Wait
However, we need to have
a private limited company here.
- Anwar will take care of the accounts.
- Greetings, ma'am.
Sumathi can't suspect a thing.
Make her believe these are foreign orders.
- A big order has come from Dubai.
- Really?
A big order has arrived from Dubai.
Buy as many shares of Regal Cement
as possible, sir.
- Okay.
- Are you listening, Baskhar?
Hello? Meet Prabhu Kishore at the port.
Take the export certificate from him.
He asked you to keep
the pickle bottles sir.
Only pickles?
- Or did he send any money to munch?
- What, sir!
Here.
Anwar, since we're converting black money
to white, it must stay untraceable.
Keep adjusting the account books
and receipts regularly.
Seventy percent now and
the remaining 30 crores by next month
This is the last time, Suraj.
- Please deposit these checks, ma'am.
- Oh! Baskhar!
- Wife's pickle business.
- Secret, right?
There's going to be a delay
this month too, sir.
I'll take care of it, Suraj.
Thank you, sir.
Is Harsha's account all clear?
Yes, sir. All clear.
This traffic jam is
because of your husband's car.
- I'll let him know. He'll remove it.
- Just five minutes.
Hey!
- Anwar!
- Sir.
There are 20 shops
and 40 houses in this colony.
Fifteen hundred rupees per shop
and 750 rupees per house.
I'll give it to you every month.
My car remains here.
Deal okay, Mr. Baskhar.
Food beyond hunger, wealth beyond need.
Both are poison.
These were the days
when the poison got to my head.
You are drinking a lot these days.
Why didn't you sign these checks?
- I was occupied...
- Busy even for four signatures?
Sign them up fast!
- Baskhar.
- Sir.
I bought a second-hand scooter just now.
Have some sweets.
I'll take it when you buy a new one.
- You are now one of the richest in Mumbai!
- Secret, right?
Tell them if you want to, ma'am.
Everyone should know.
Baskhar is no longer
in the middle class.
Okay.
Yuck! I don't like it.
Let's eat at that vada pav place, Dad.
We shouldn't eat at such cheap places.
This is where we eat.
Moron!
He won't be spared today.
Can't you drive?
Do you think the road belongs to your dad?
- Anwar!
- Sir.
- Is this road still a one-way?
- Yes, sir.
For the shops and house every month
- We are paying, sir.
- What about him?
We are paying 3,750 rupees
for one house and two shops, sir.
I came because it was night and empty.
It was a mistake. Let it go.
Leave it, brother.
What are you going to do?
Brother
Someone tell him, please.
Brother
Brother! It was a mistake!
Forgive me.
Brother Don't, brother!
- No, brother!
- Baskhar!
No, brother!
Baskhar brother. Don't do this!
Stop him. Please tell him.
This is not my dad's road.
- It's mine!
- Okay.
It's yours.
Get lost!
Anwar, throw him 10,000 rupees.
- Okay, sir.
- Baskhar! What's this?
What?
- Your words carry arrogance.
- It's not arrogance but courage.
- And your actions are full of pride.
- Not pride, but strength.
I can't believe you turned out
to be such a bad person.
Sumathi, I'm not bad.
I'm just rich.
This society always looks at the rich
as bad people.
Unfortunately, you are doing the same.
Remember one thing.
All the luxuries you enjoy today
and the investment for your home foods
were sponsored by this bad person.
Have some gratitude.
What's going on over there?
My gratitude.
I didn't mean that.
But that's how I understood.
Alright.
As you wish.
Mrs. Sumathi is great, Mr. Baskhar.
She's handing all her earnings to you.
But my wife controls my earnings.
Baskhar.
Will you let me have some
of the pickles made by your wife?
- Definitely, within a couple of days, sir.
- Thank you.
Everything you held turned into gold.
First, the lottery,
pickles business, shares
You are a very wealthy man. Yet
you are so simple
and humble. How?
God, sir.
Whenever he sees arrogance,
he gives a slap on life.
That's it. We get set right.
So
after how many slaps
did you shut down
Sumathi Home Foods Private Limited?
May I come in, sir?
Yes.
Sir, Hari Haran Katari bank
Sorry! Sit, sir.
Thank you.
What's with the sudden appearance, sir?
You could visit our bank unexpectedly.
Then why not us?
Nothing like that, sir.
How can I help you?
My wife needs a bank locker.
Our bank doesn't have any availability.
Can your bank
Of course, sir!
You didn't have to come personally.
- It's okay.
- I'd have sent someone if you just called.
I just wanted to keep it formal.
Please take it.
- Sir. Okay, sir.
- Bring tea.
- Also water.
- Okay, sir.
It's time for my BP tablet.
He'll bring it anyway.
Please fill out the form.
Okay.
What are you up to, sir? Busy?
I'm entering your bank BRs.
They just keep coming.
You spoke to them, right, sir?
Well
Is everything okay, sir?
It was okay in the beginning, sir.
Of late, the payments have been irregular.
I'm struggling to adjust it in the books.
It's just one or two crores.
We can easily adjust.
One or two?
Sir, it's almost 90 crores.
90 crores?
There are more BRs to be entered.
If those are added,
it would come to 100 crores plus.
But I've never issued BRs of such value.
Not all at once, sir.
Twenty once, thirty, and ten one time
The highest BR value
I issued was nine crore rupees.
Can I check those BRs once?
These BRs were not issued
by our bank, sir.
- Even the signature...
- Sir!
You may leave.
I mean, these are not mine.
Someone forged my signature, sir.
But, sir, this is your bank letterhead
and stamp.
Harsha Mehra, sir.
He could easily procure a bank letterhead.
He created a fake bank stamp
and using a dot matrix printer
he printed the required matter
and amount on the bank letterhead.
He even forged my signature.
These are fake BRs, sir.
Worthless crap!
Your bank alone has 100 crores.
What about other banks? National banks?
Hundreds of crores worth of fake BRs
would be in circulation.
He took hundreds of crores
on non-existent government securities.
If this is exposed
the money market
and the stock market would crash.
Indian economy will collapse.
What do we do now, sir?
Don't approve any BRs as of now.
Hope that Harsha stays safe.
Because, if he's caught,
we'll all go to jail with him.
What did we do?
We didn't know these were fake BRs.
But there is corruption.
We broke Reserve Bank rules.
Wouldn't this be enough to go to jail?
Please don't reveal this anywhere.
Sir.
Are you okay, sir?
I don't know, sir.
I don't know.
Gosh! He fell! Oh, no!
Sir! Sir!
What's wrong?
- Sir!
- Sir!
- What happened to him?
- What happened, sir?
Someone get him water!
- Sir!
- Sir!
- Sir!
- Sir!
- Sir!
- Call the ambulance!
Sir.
- What happened?
- He fell from the stairs, sir.
Sorry, sir.
He was brought dead.
I think it was a stroke.
- Does he have BP?
- Not sure, sir.
Sir, I'm Hari Haran's wife.
What happened to my husband?
Dad! Dad!
Doctor. What happened to my husband?
- Dad!
- Sir. What's the situation?
Hey!
How dare you forge the BRs?!
Did he die after learning about this?
With Harsha bhai
I'll break your face!
Both of yours.
Look, next time
you need to settle everything.
- Or
- Or?
What will you do?
If this comes to light, we'll all drown.
Would that be okay, sir?
Hey, Suraj!
A life was lost!
Indirectly because of our selfishness.
Enough.
Let's stop this.
Sir
The intoxication of money
beats cigarettes and alcohol.
There's more money in the stock market
than in any other business.
That's why even if you win one day
and lose another, or someone dies,
you don't feel like stopping.
We can't stop it, sir.
Harsha bhai will take care. Relax.
- What are these?
- Bills. Anwar gave them.
Sign the checks.
Sumathi.
Hello?
Brother!
I didn't know whom to call at his hour.
So I called you.
Two hundred cameras.
The goods are worth ten lakhs.
Do something, sir.
Nothing can be done now.
The FIR has been filed.
It's a non-bailable case, sir.
It's hard to find bail
in such smuggling cases.
It's all gone, buddy.
I wanted to earn more.
I took a risk.
I've been duped.
I've lost everything.
Karthik, does it have a calculator too?
Yes. It can save phone numbers, too.
Hey, this is great!
Mom! Mom!
- Sumathi. How are you?
- Mom, I want a watch like Karthik's.
I can't stand
seeing your brother like this.
I'm facing losses in real estate.
How he used to be!
- You must help me.
- He faced losses and
- now in front of your husband
- I need 50 lakh. Please.
Look at how your husband is sitting
with his legs crossed.
Please ask him to help.
It's his money
and it's up to him.
What do you mean by "his money"?
It's yours too.
It also includes money
from your home foods business.
He uses it
only for his brother and sister.
Won't he give it
to your side of the family?
Ask him.
- You just nod...
- Enough, Mom. Shut up!
Arun. Come here.
I'll buy one for you later.
- Okay, Mom.
- Hey!
You can have this.
What's wrong, Sumathi?
It seems you're bankrupt
and my husband's supposed to give away
his property to you.
Did you ever help us
when we were struggling?
Weren't you reluctant
even to feed my son, sister-in-law?
Enough. Let's go. Come on, Karthik.
Please stop, brother-in-law.
Brother-in-law!
You held such a toxic grudge against us!
You came into some money
and it boosted your arrogance.
It was me who gave you
that home foods business idea.
You prospered only because of my idea.
Sumathi!
What are you doing, Sumathi? Stop it!
Stop it, Sumathi.
- Stop it, Sumathi.
- You stop first.
- Enough is enough.
- What?
Everything you earned, spent,
and those affected by it.
My anger is not because
of my fight with my mom.
It was because you changed.
You've changed.
I want the old Baskhar.
I want our old life.
Sumathi.
Stop.
Don't cry, Mom.
Baskhar.
I need to speak to you.
Come in.
Grandfather is talking.
Close the door.
Dad
The export customers paid in dollars.
Including packing and everything.
Your father
was once a Chartered Accountant.
Don't try to fool me.
You said you won
a lottery that
only one in eight crores gets.
You were saying there are people who buy
a pickle bottle
worth five rupees for 500 rupees.
I can understand
how costly
a gamble you play.
Hawala,
money laundering.
Earning money,
was once a necessity for you.
But now,
it's your guilty pleasure.
No, Dad.
All of this is for our family.
We start with our family,
but, as we go further,
the intoxication of the game
makes you forget the very family.
Baskhar.
A speeding vehicle,
and a quick buck,
both are capable of
overthrowing a person.
Because, while gambling,
a great game is not important.
What matters is
when you put a stop to it.
Okay, Dad.
Was Sumathi Home Foods
a lie?
Was it all just an act?
Enough, Anwar.
Let's stop this.
Why sell when there's bull run, sir?
Think again, sir.
Greed has no limit.
But there ought to be.
Sell everything.
Is it real or just a dream?
- Is it real or just a dream?
- Hey!
- How did your thoughts
- You'll pay for this.
Get lost!
Land so heavy?
- How will you continue?
- What's the issue with Suraj?
He's got dues, sir.
The client is Harsha, right?
Money will come. Don't worry.
- Clear all those BRs.
- When your journey
Has stopped like this
Come on, Baskhar.
You know Harsha is involved.
Suraj will come to you.
Clear the Bank's BRs.
Okay, sir.
Send in Suraj. I'll approve.
Did you turn the hopes
You wove, into mere illusions?
Have you ever questioned yourself?
Whether you won or lost, it's you
Whether you rose or drowned
Whether you lived or faded
In your story
Whether you soared or ended, it's you
Whether you showered
Or dimmed, it's you
Don't worry about the money.
We'll settle later.
- Whether you continued or grew weary
- Alright. Thank you.
In this journey
- In this journey
- Harsha bhai wants to speak to you, sir.
Hello?
Hello?
- Do you intend to come back?
- Haven't decided yet, brother.
I'll wire you the money.
Buy a house there.
Okay, brother.
This is an apartment in Bandra.
I'm transferring it to my sister's name.
These are our house documents.
I'm transferring this too.
For every rupee you make.
You must share ten paisa with Samba.
Okay, brother-in-law.
Will your words
Ever reach your lips?
Latha ma'am. I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry, Baskhar?
Zip it. I'll go.
Like paper boats in the rainwater
Ramji. Your son's admission
to the Nauroji School is confirmed.
I spoke to the principal.
You are not using that Maruti car, right?
Will you sell it to me?
You are like a father to me, sir.
I can't take money from you.
You got me this Gold Spot.
Come home and take the car.
You realized your destination
On your path finally
- Will you come back to your roots?
- Patel bhai. One minute.
Have you won or lost?
- Whether you rise or drown?
- Sorry, Patel bhai.
- Whether you lived or faded
- Please keep this.
Whether you soared or ended, it's you
Whether you showered
Or dimmed, it's you
Whether you continued or grew weary
Is it real or just a dream?
Is it real or just a dream?
How did your thoughts
Land so heavy?
How to continue?
How to continue?
When your journey
Has stopped like this
I can't bring back
our olden days, Sumathi.
But, I'm ready to offer you
the Baskhar of old times.
The light drowns you the moment
It is put off
Did you turn the hopes and the shadows
You wove, into mere illusions?
Did you ever question yourself?
Whether you won or lost, it's you
Whether you rose or sank, it's you
Whether you lived or faded
In your story
Whether you soared or ended, it's you
Whether you showered
Or dimmed, it's you
Whether you continued
Or grew weary, in the high
In the journey
In the journey
Sir.
Baskhar.
Haven't you cleared
the BRs sent by Harsha?
Any issue?
Several dues are still pending.
They won't listen to us.
We share a history with Katari Bank.
They gave us crores
worth of business with Harsha.
Now, they are going through a rough patch.
It's been less than two months
since AGM Hari Haran's passing.
Now, they're trying
to sort out a lot of issues.
So, on humanitarian grounds,
clear these BRs.
Sir, with all due respect,
I can allow them two to three weeks to
clear their dues on humanitarian grounds.
But considering Magadha Bank's
financial interests,
we simply can't issue new BRs.
Wouldn't you do it even if I told you to?
I won't do anything I don't like.
I don't like the way
you're talking to me.
I too don't appreciate how you're speaking
to me in front of a broker's PA.
How dare you?
What do you think, Suraj?
If you complain like you do
to the school principal,
did you expect me to be scared?
You're crossing your limits, Baskhar.
No, sir.
These are my job limits.
I don't have the courage
to go beyond them.
If you do, sign it.
I'll take this up with the chairman.
I'll see your end.
Not necessary, sir.
This is my resignation letter.
I've been carrying it in my pocket
for the past month.
I'll submit it to the HR department.
Read it when you have time.
Sir. What is this?
Bloody hell!
Reena ma'am, my resignation.
What happened?
- What happened, Baskhar?
- Sir!
Baskhar!
Baskhar. This bank is yours.
You did a great job.
What happened all of a sudden?
Sir, this bank has provided for me.
It is equivalent to my mother.
It's wrong to lie to my mother.
Betraying the bank is a grave offense.
I can't stay here any longer.
Bye everyone.
- Baskhar!
- Baskhar!
What's all this, sir?
What's going on?
He's gone mad.
- Hello?
- Baskhar, this is Latha.
Yes, Latha ma'am.
We received a fax from the RBI.
They're coming to inspect
our bank next week.
I'm not working there anymore, ma'am.
- Inform your GM.
- Yeah. Alright.
I'm Lakshman Rao from CBI.
We couldn't find anything on you.
You've engaged in every financial crime
listed in the law books
without leaving any evidence.
So can I leave, sir?
No. No. How's that possible?
Our CBI officers are pretty determined.
We can't take no for an answer.
We'll find a reason to implicate you.
For example, one remark in your case.
A report that states further inquiry
is required in assessing,
Mr. and Mrs. Baskhar's
financial transactions.
We'll send it to the
IT and ED departments.
Both of your accounts will be frozen.
Next, they'll make you run
from pillar to post around their offices.
You'll not see a single paisa.
You won't sleep peacefully for a minute.
Your family will be ruined.
Okay! Okay!
Why do I want all these fights?
You want us to let you go
so you can live peacefully?
I have a deal for you.
Write a check
in the name of Grow High company.
For 100 crore rupees.
Harsha will transfer
that amount to his account.
He'll pay it to your bank.
When RBI comes for an inspection,
the bank's money will be in the bank.
You can be happy.
No one will suspect a thing.
All of this chaos since morning
was it for the funds in my account?
We only found this, sir.
An empty checkbook.
Yes, Baskhar.
Lakshman, I'll take it from here.
Sir. Boys.
- And, Vinod?
- Sir.
- Will you issue a checkbook?
- Okay, sir.
On Friday's date.
Else, there'll be doubts.
I'll do that, sir.
Come, Baskhar. Sit.
Baskhar
We promoted you
to get signatures on the BRs.
With these BRs,
a lot of people put the bank's money
in the share market.
The problem began
when Harsha got greedy.
He needed more money to rig the shares.
That's why, he brought fake bank receipts
into circulation.
This is not just a risk it's a crime.
We shared part of the profits.
We didn't want to take part in the risks.
Because
if these fake receipts are exposed,
the risk is the same for him
and the one who approved them.
That's why we found a scapegoat.
What are you talking about, sir?
He earned a good amount.
When I looked at his bank statements,
I used to feel jealous.
Look, Baskhar.
This is what I like about you.
When you first heard about the scam,
you stayed silent.
You dealt with it with maturity.
You took what you wanted.
But after Hari Haran's passing,
you didn't handle
the situation with maturity.
You weren't willing to sign the BRs.
I get it.
But why did you go to the principal?
Why did you complain about the
irregularities in Magadha Bank?
Ma'am, I'm coming from the Magadha bank.
There's an ongoing fraud in our bank.
Send an inspection notice
to Magadha Bank.
Here!
Yes, Baskhar?
All of a sudden, your decision
to act sincerely isn't enough.
There should also be
other people working sincerely.
Take it!
You caused this mess.
You must clear it.
Baskhar.
You're not feeling sad?
At times, we win in gambling.
Other times, we learn.
The money I got in gambling
got lost in gambling.
My father warned me long ago
about such a situation.
Instead of dwelling on it,
it's better to smile and move on.
Well played, sir.
Convey my regards to Harsha.
Goodbye, sir.
Vinod sir. Bye.
Sir.
He wouldn't snitch on us, would he?
To confront the injustice
he has faced,
he needs a great deal of courage.
He has the courage.
But he doesn't have the courage
to put his family at risk.
He gave us 100 crores today
not because he's afraid.
He did it out of love for his family.
Today, we got this 100 crores
and our problem is solved.
But there's a slight fear.
We can't sleep peacefully at home.
Because
we yearn for what we do not have.
But he's different.
He goes home.
He cherishes joyful moments
with his family.
He sleeps peacefully.
Because
he's content with what he has.
Because
he's a common man.
A common,
middle-class Indian man.
Ma'am, please verify these checks.
Suraj gave them, sir.
Baskhar checks. Worth 100 crores.
So, what?
Clear them.
Baskhar invested in shares, right?
He might have invested in Grow High.
That's not the problem, sir.
It's been ten days since Baskhar
deactivated his account.
Ma'am, this is my
account deactivation letter.
And checkbooks.
He withdrew the entire amount.
Moreover, these checks
were issued two days ago.
Something is wrong, sir.
What is Baskhar's account number?
Sir 865454011766.
It shows that the account is active.
The update was completed in February.
And what about March?
- We updated it in the log book, sir.
- What?
We update it at the end of the month, sir.
What?
What?
Seriously?
Seriously, where is this guy?
Ladies and gentlemen.
We'll arrive in 30 minutes as scheduled.
We wish you a pleasant stay in Boston.
Thank you for choosing us.
Welcome to the United States of America.
This is a huge scam, Dad.
No matter how careful we are,
there's some risk involved.
It'll be better if we all leave the town.
Not the town.
It'll be better if we leave the country.
If you invest one crore rupees in America,
the entire family gets a
conditional green card.
After five years, you'll get citizenship.
- Sir. There's a call for you.
- Yeah. Hello?
- Anthony sir. It's Baskhar.
- How are you, sir?
I need a favor.
Sir, this is Anthony.
There's a hotel up for sale here.
He's quoting 25 million dollars.
Okay for you?
I'm fine with it.
The investment amount must be in white.
You'll need a letter from the Income tax.
Sathyadev Shinde, assistant commissioner.
Meet him once.
Your father helped me a lot
back in the day.
Consider your job done.
RBI should provide a form of approval.
Ramya Dikshit of the RBI.
- What? Are you Prahlad's son?
- Yes, madam.
Old friend.
Tell him I think of him sometimes.
Sure.
All the money has been transferred
to Boston Group of Hotels.
You were issued
the investor' Visa in record time.
Just as promised.
- Congrats.
- Thank you.
Hey, Baskhar.
What do you want me
to do with the car?
Keep it.
- Hey!
- What is it?
Thanks, buddy.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Hey! Who are you guys?
We're here on behalf of the RBI.
We need to check your bank accounts.
Where's your GM?
He's inside, sir.
In the flash raids
on Magadha bank by RBI
Reportedly 100 crore rupees
have gone missing from the bank.
Magadha Bank Chairman, Rajbir Lokhande,
General Manager Vinod Bhosle
was taken into CBI custody.
Several CBI officers picked up
Baskhar sir on Sunday and questioned him.
Based on a statement given by
the security guard of Magadha Bank,
it can be understood that CBI officer
Lakshman Rao too is involved in this scam.
It is related to the Securities
and Bank Receipts fraud case
involving big bull Harsha Mehra.
We have documentation of all transactions
from Harsha Mehra's account to yours.
And you?
You turned CBI into
a private security agency.
Shame on you.
Sir. They got Harsha Mehra.
Come.
If he had intentions of going to America,
instead of leaving silently,
why did he rat us out?
If this scam comes out,
he'll be a criminal.
If he exposes the scam,
you guys will be the criminals.
- But how did he know about us?
- He knew all along.
What?!
He knew the day
he saw Harsha's statements.
That both of you are involved.
He confidently struck a deal with Suraj.
He never dealt with Harsha directly.
He never bought a share
- from the Grow High account.
- Zamda shares.
When you coerced him
into signing the fake BRs,
he realized he was being made a scapegoat.
- Instead of resigning silently,
- Good bye.
- He created a scene and
- Baskhar
he established himself as the victim.
He gave an in-person complaint to RBI
and proved his innocence.
It was Baskhar who brought
this scam to the Reserve Bank's notice.
By the time we cornered him,
he had finished the game.
Well played.
The money walks, the money talks!
The world would end if the money stops
Good evening, sir.
We received a letter from the bank.
Hey, pass it to Dad.
Dad.
This is an American Express credit card.
There's no limit.
One for you.
And one for me.
What?
Nothing.
She knew I did something wrong.
But she never dared to find out.
The reason for me to be
in this position today
is a person's death,
my wife's pain, and my father's words.
How well you've played doesn't matter.
It is when you've chosen to stop.
If I win and then lose,
I'll remember only the loss.
If I lose and then win,
the victory remains in history.
Because history only remembers
how you finished.
I don't know how
history is going to remember me.
How will you remember me?
