I can't do this, Mom.
Be brave my child.
Keep praying.
"Satnaam Vahe Guru Satnaam Vaahe Guru."
"Satnaam Vahe Guru
Satnaam Vaahe Guru."
Oh well...
Thank you.
Yes, I am send them.
"Satnaam Vahe Guru
Satnaam Vaahe Guru."
Hey, Sonali!
What the hell are you upto?
Do we ever go offline?
Sonali, are you nuts?
Don't do it...
You mad.
Sonali...
Oh my God...
Thank you Lord Ganesha.
The keys are right here.
Can't you wait a bit?
I can wait. The baby can't!
Thank God!
"We are crazy...
..and carefree."
"We are silly...
..we are naughty."
"We travel in style."
"We make noise."
"We fix everyone...
..broken dreams."
"We are combustible...
..and young."
"Totally stubborn...
..our dreams, our dreams."
Greetings, brother Bunty.
Just 2 minutes, please.
"We move without hesitation..."
"..even in the face of fear."
"We are mature..."
- Evening Inaamdar Sir.
- How are you, Sonali?
Great!
What's up, girl?
Let's go, you glutton.
Greetings ma'am.
How is everything?
Fine.
"We are combustible...
..and young."
"Totally stubborn...
..our dreams, our dreams."
"Let it break, let it get away...
..let us loose."
"Let us fall and get up again...
..let us steady ourselves."
"Let us fall and get up again...
..let us steady ourselves."
"If someone opposes us...
..we will cross the bridge then."
"We are combustible...
..and young."
"Totally stubborn...
..our dreams, our dreams."
After dominating markets in telecom
refineries, healthcare and agriculture...
the Fortune 500-listed Shining Corp.
Is now dominating Broadband Internet.
We bring you an exclusive interview with
Shining chairman Narayan Singh Vaghela.
Friends. If you want to be born,
we have hospitals.
If you don't want to be born,
we make condoms.
If you want to die, we have
air-conditioned crematoriums.
We are here to meet your every need.
And if you can't afford it,
we'll finance you.
If you are with us,
we are with you all the way.
In life and beyond,
we'll always be together, Shining!
How are you?
Eat it!
Just joking.
Thank you.
The people of India
and the Shining Group are lovers.
And when a third person comes between us
it's just not very enjoyable.
It is... a love story, dear.
Love story.
The internet business is all I know.
At least give me a job in your company.
Madhavan.
You won't fit in here, Mr. Shetty.
So please, go home.
Please.
What?
"It is a love story, dear".
Holy shit!
More viruses?
A lot.
Oh!
So what now?
How do we get rid of the virus, Sada?
Actually, we'll have to
reformat the hard dicks.
So, did you take care
of Chanda madam's virus?
Still some left.
Be gentle with it.
Hurry up.
Sada.
Hey Sada. Have you seen any Shining
people in our area?
They're like shadows.
They don't have a face, only guile.
- Jayyu, check now.
- Yeah I'm doing it.
- Who's the rookie?
- Jayyu hired him.
Without asking me?
I've never seen him in our area.
Area? He's not even
from our country.
Bangladesh?
Fully illegal.
Jayyu is going to
get us into deep shit.
Sonali.
Ma'am is here.
Come.
Ok.
Raghu.
Sonali Dattaram Tandel?
Roll number 43!
How've you been?
Good. And you?
Fit.
Ma'am didn't tell me
that you were back.
I didn't even tell her. I just showed up.
Last night.
After eight years.
Just like that?
- Yeah. Just like that.
- Good.
I hear you've become
quite famous around here.
Yeah right! But it's going good.
- Swing by the center sometime.
- Yes, I will, definitely.
So... how long are you staying?
Raghu... Sonali...
It's not our job to
give speeches.
So I'll just say a couple of words.
Thank you, Sonali.
It's not our job to
give speeches either.
We are a "social service".
Our friend, Sonali is an even bigger
"social service".
Didn't Bunty Pandey run a gang?
Social club.
And his brother, Sada.
He works with you?
He's like my son.
Sonali is the reason,
the guys from our neighbourhood...
They do good work.
That's all. Long live India.
And my job is to only give speeches...
Which is why I told Sonali...
That I would invest in her center
on one condition.
It should help the community.
I educated my son, Raghu, in America.
I told him too, we need to make Maharashtra
reach the heights of America.
I called him back home.
And here he is.
It's great time for Mumbai.
Long live India and Maharashtra.
Have it sir.
Have it.
Kiddo. Come visit sometime.
Anytime.
Why? Are you itching
to hit me again?
Transfer is not that easy.
Let's go.
Ma'am. Can I come by this evening?
- Why?
- I wanted to talk to you about Shining.
Now Raghu's back. He will handle it.
Raghu's back for good?
Yes. Raghu will handle
the business from now.
Understood?
Thanks.
- Can I get a ride?
- Sure.
Raghu! Careful!
Relax. He'll handle it.
He's your son after all.
Have you forgotten
whose daughter she is?
Vada Pav.
What the hell is this?
Stop ripping me off.
Give me a bigger bunch.
Keep all of it.
I'm going back to my village.
All these years we kept driving you
Northerners out, you wouldn't leave.
Doing Mumbai a favor, are you?
How do I compete with these big companies
and their supermarkets?
I can't afford to sell any cheaper.
Drive them out first!
- Long live Maharashtra.
- Long live Maharashtra.
Hey, Mr. America, you're back!
- How are you?
- Dad, we're going to the office.
First, you'll have to step into my office.
What's all this?
That's my portfolio.
Portfolio!
Check it out.
The deadly riots of Bhiwandi.
That's me driving out the Southies.
Oh, this here is from
the Hindu-Muslim riots.
I'm in every picture. Throwing stones
with a towel around my face.
Riot specialist, Datta Tandel.
The amount of stones I threw,
you could build a bridge.
Drink?
No. Thanks.
Hello Sonali cable.
Wrong number.
Chingam, get some tea. Raghu's here.
Yeah I know, the spelling is wrong.
It's fine.
- We were busy so we just...
- Relax.
- Come in.
- Sure.
None of these guys finished college.
Just like us.
Thank you.
Chingam.
Thank you.
Have a seat.
Give him a chair.
Hello Sonali cable centre.
Yes, Sir. How are you?
You shouldn't get an error.
I'll look into it.
Hey nutjob! They're still getting
connection errors in Aquarius.
Jayyu was looking into it.
Jayyu.
Jayyu.
- What happened?
- Did you go to Aquarius?
- I'm going.
- Why are you still here?
- I told you, I'm going!
What's keeping you?
A date with your mom?
Keep my mother out of it.
You fool..
You're ruining our reputation
and I'm supposed to just shut up?
You want me to worship you, rascal?
Hello Sir. Five minutes.
You'll be online.
Sada go.
Aquarius is my building.
I'll go.
You!
Go!
And who signed off on this rookie?
No need to go.
- I've fixed it.
- What?
- How did you do that?
- And that too sitting here.
Just did it.
- How did you do it?
- It takes lot of time.
Hello Sonali cable.
Who's speaking?
Yeah, this is Sonali Tandel.
If they want to meet,
it'll have to be at my office.
Who was that?
Shining.
She wants me to come to her office?
Ok.
Thank you.
You're quite the badass!
Why worry about Shining?
It's not Shining.
Then, what's the problem?
- Why'd you come back?
- What would I do there?
Obama wanted to make
me his son-in-law.
I said, no thanks.
I'm married to India.
So, what's the problem?
Look, your mom owns 60% of the center
and I own forty.
Forty.
Forty.
Forty.
Forty.
- Four...
- Leave the Forty!
Your mom said you'll
handle the business from now.
Mom's a politician.
And what are you?
You tell me.
- What's happening?
- Same old crap.
- How are you?
- I'm doing good.
Remember the Hindi exam
from 10th grade? Probably not.
I remember it.
The last test I ever took.
There was phrase in there.
"Two swords cannot
share the same sheath".
Sonali Dattaram Tandel.
Roll number 43!
The sheath is yours,
and so is the sword.
But your sword is blunt.
Meaning?
Meaning, you need someone to sharpen it.
A manager.
So what does the "sword sharpener" say?
Don't wait for the enemy. Face him,
in his own style.
What?
- Nothing. You look great.
- You want me to change.
You'll look great even in a burkha.
Let's go. Please, tell her.
Hello.
We are just stuck in traffic.
We will be there in a swish.
I brought my car.
Don't you want to be there in a swish?
Ouch.
Name Raghu Pawar.
Resident of blah blah blah.
Education qualification...
Schooling from..
Bachelor's from Phoenix University.
And masters from Temple University.
You've got an M.B.A.
Thank you.
So we speak the same language.
See Raghu...
To cut the long story short.
- This little shop of your's...
- Mr. Bose.
- Bobby.
- Bobby.
It's her company.
I'm just a manager like you.
So you just speak to her.
She is the boss.
Hello.
Okay, Boss.
Listen up.
Game over!
Find something else to do.
You've got a week.
What the hell is he saying?
You have one week.
Shop close.
You think it's a joke?
You think it's a joke?
Is everything alright sir?
Yes. It's ok.
One second.
Are you serious?
There is no offer!
Yes. There is.
Bombay Burger!
Specially for you.
- Nice.
- Let's go.
This is very funny.
We attended the meeting.
Note that!
And hello, it's not Bombay Burger.
It's called Vada pav
learn your language.
Hey Raghu...
Raghu Pawar.
Raghu.
Please wait...
Raghu, make her understand.
We'll shut you down and
rub your noses in scum.
Bring it on rascal!
Just try!
I'll smash your face.
I'll cut your nose off dumbass!
Bangladesh is whooping Australia!
Unbelievable!
In short.
Basically, they'll try to finish us.
We have to be ready.
To get finished?
Be serious.
- I am serious...
- Just hear her out, Jayyu. Calmly.
We'll drown in their ocean.
We'll swim in it!
Sonali, this is us!
Shining is building an office nearby.
Their toilet is as big as our office!
Dude, chill!
Stop harping on Shining.
Just remember.
Even a tiny, little ant...
can make an elephant
do the disco.
It's all about biting the right spot.
Learn! Optimism.
Rosy repeat.
Rosy.
Bobby, you were saying...
Sir, we've used warning, negotiation,
punishment and division.
I'm sure you've heard of
the art of war.
Ramayana.
Go on.
So we've turned every stone.
We've almost taken control
of all of Mumbai's internet lines.
- What was that?
- All of Mumbai...
Before that!
Almost...
Almost is almost.
And whole is whole.
It's not the same thing.
When I was a young boy...
When I was child...
My mom used to make me
filter the rice.
And if she found even
a single piece of dirt in there...
then all I got for dinner
was a glass of water.
And that's why I can afford a $2,500 drink,
that you can't even afford to smell.
Warning, negotiation, punishment
division, and then - "almost"!
I want the whole city, you twit!
All of Mumbai!
Repeat.
Rosy.
Come here.
Broken wafer.
Broken wafer.
I never eat broken wafer.
- Say sorry.
- Sorry sir.
- Say sorry.
- Sorry sir.
Never.
Ok.
Don't throw.
Give it to crow.
So...
Let alone a computer...
I've never even used a calculator.
But, my computer says that
this cable internet...
It's like that thing between a mother
and her child. What is it called?
What is it?
That tube...
Rosy come here.
That child...
And Mother inside that rod...
- That connection.
- Umbilical cord.
Yes, the cord!
Every home that our cables enter,
will be under our control.
And I want every single home!
Get your act together.
Get rid of these fancy clothes
and enter the bullring.
Mr. English-medium boy!
"One glimpse...
..and you by my side."
"One glimpse...
..and you by my side."
"I live to please you."
"You are my guide...
..I have found you, I am complete."
"Just need to see one glimpse
of you to live this life."
"Yeah I just need one glimpse."
"Every moment without
you feels like eternity."
"I roam around like a nomad."
"I am like half a sky."
"Cant stay away from you."
"You are my guide...
..I have found you, I am complete."
So, the cable center is
keeping you quite busy.
I'm just helping Sonali
out a little.
Don't get too entangled.
I have bigger plans for you.
Sonali Cable will be huge one day.
But that girl won't get anywhere.
Come on, mom.
We've grown up together.
She needs me.
Needs can easily turn into habits.
And bad habits are hard to break.
I will be back in a while.
Played?
"Just need to see one glimpse
of you to live this life..."
"..yeah I just need one glimpse."
Whoa!
Love story?
Please continue.
- And you'll watch?
- Yeah!
You pervert!
How are you?
It's, "How are you Madam!"
Mrs. Pawar, I'm hoping
you will understand the reality.
Our company is not just India's
leading corporation.
In fact, it's world renowned.
Does it matter to the goat if the
butcher's knife is studded with diamonds?
But Mrs. Pawar, we are vegetarian.
Well, we're anything but vegetarian.
Look Ma'am, when the Government
constructs roads...
homes, shops, factories
have to be sacrificed. They must make way.
Right now, in this city,
we are the Government.
When not in power,
we are the devil.
And if we lose our cool,
your ass will burn!
But Ma'am, I thought, you'd understand
the importance of this project.
And I thought you're here to compromise.
First, you throw a ridiculous,
one-week deadline at Raghu.
And now you follow it up with a threat?
And a vegetarian one at that?
Brother. Get him out of here.
- What's up?
- Bobby Bose met mom.
- That twit! And?
- She drove him away.
- Really?
- Listen, I have to go see her about this.
Yeah, carry on.
I got this covered.
There's a party at home this evening.
You'll be there, right?
Dad.
Dad.
What's so funny?
Trapped in the net like a fish.
You are not wearing it correctly.
Wait I'll show you.
Couldn't you have picked
something else to wear?
So what if it's mom's?
This one's on our team.
- Nice?
- Very.
Our team will never win, Sona.
It doesn't matter what you wear.
Ma'am will never
let you marry her son.
Oh please!
We've known each other for 20 years.
It's just matter of
naming our relationship.
Name it what you want.
You'll always be tainted.
The tainted daughter of a slut
who left her family in the lurch.
I don't want to ruin my make-up.
- Should I make you another drink?
- No. I'll help myself.
So, this is how you drink
in Bangladesh?
I'm not from Bangladesh.
I'm from Kolkata, West Bengal.
Yeah, and I'm from Korea.
Sada Kimchi!
Hey Sada, just drink man.
Leave him alone.
He's a real geek.
Works magic with the computer.
A solid technician.
- How does it matter where he's from?
- It matters, Jayyu.
It matters to Sonali.
She's our boss.
Hey Romeo, Jabbo's on her way.
What are you drinking?
- Someone's smoking'!
- Hot huh?
Bring out the whip!
What a diva!
Who's that bomb?
I'll make you meet
someone every special.
Alright.
Guess who.
Sonali.
Zooni.
Oh, Zooni!
Mr. Mattoo's daughter.
- Hi.
- Hi.
My, how you've grown!
Everyone does.
Weren't you studying in America?
I got my Masters in Computer science
from M.I.T.
Degrees are useless in Mumbai.
You need guts!
She's going to join Mr. Mattoo.
She's the future of Race Net.
Future.
Look, Mr. Mattoo.
Who's Mr. Motoo (FATSO)?
That's not how we say it in India.
He owns Race Net.
And we sell Race Net Broadband.
A crook with a fancy hat.
What's with your... hat?
I fell.
Where?
In life.
Give me a break!
I've promised Mr. Mattoo that we will
sell Race Net broadband exclusively.
Yes, Ma'am. Especially after what
those Shining guys did today...
Help me out in the kitchen, will you?
Let them talk business.
You come with me.
Come.
Hey that's my song.
Come on Raghu.
All good, kiddo?
It was.
B.D...
Ma'am, I'm glad you turned
Shining down.
Mr. Mattoo does not need
to know everything.
Think before you speak.
And if you can't,
then just keep quiet.
Sorry, Ma'am.
It's okay.
Zooni and Raghu
will take care of everything.
Their friendship started in America,
and will continue to grow.
They're well-matched.
You were having trouble
handling the pressure.
So I asked Raghu to step in.
And here he is.
He loves you very much.
When I see you two together...
It feels good.
I always wanted a daughter.
Think of me as your daughter.
You are a daughter to me...
And a sister to Raghu.
This phone call is the last pacifier
I'm shoving into your mouth.
No more "almost".
- Got it?
- No "almost".
You're my witness, Madhavan.
Sona. Why are you crying?
Where are you off to?
To see Lord Ganesha.
Sona...
Bhau Sir.
What a surprise.
The big ship himself!
We ships come and go.
You're our harbor.
Tell me.
What can we do for each other?
A small problem needs fixing.
Something my morons couldn't handle.
I'll take care of it.
My respects, Bhau.
Anything urgent?
Mistakes are better rectified early.
Did I do something wrong?
Rights and wrongs are
two sides of the same coin.
Let's go inside.
Someone's here to meet you.
To meet me?
How are you, Taai?
Don't gloat.
Just take her blessing.
Of course.
Meena, give him your blessing.
Keep going.
- Why are you here?
- To take you home.
Don't make me swear in front of Gannu.
Why have you blown a fuse?
Because you're fused to that witch.
The least you could've done
is told me earlier.
I was on standby for you
all these years.
Are you nuts?
Zooni and I?
Yes, Zooni and you. Your stupid American
friendship, your rich-ass wedding...
And whatever she pops out after that.
Get lost!
Damn.
Did mom say something?
Will she ever miss an opportunity?
Whatever she said...
- I've seen it with my own eyes.
- Bullshit!
She's Mr. Mattoo's daughter,
so of course I know her.
And I met her once in Disneyland. She was
on top, I was below, on that thing...
She was on top? And you under her?
Hollywood style?
This is ridiculous.
There's nothing between us.
And there's nothing between us either!
And anyway, according to your mom...
I'm your sister.
Just give me my forty percent.
I'm quitting the business. The end!
Yes, Mr. Naulakha.
What can I do for you.
Of course, we can install WiFi
all over your building.
I'll have Jayyu work up a quote.
Yes.
Ok.
Bye.
You were saying...
Raghu, I'm seriously quitting.
Good call.
What do you mean?
Shining guys pulled muscle.
Bhau called mom.
- What now?
- We have to meet Bobby Bose again.
You go meet him with that witch, Zooni.
Go flaunt your English together.
The center is your baby, right?
Will you abandon it?
- They'll take you down. You'll go offline.
- I'll slap you!
Okay. Now finish your idol
and let's get going.
- She's a loose cannon.
- Meaning?
- A wild one.
- And how do we tame her?
- Using her boyfriend.
- And what about him?
He'll play. If the price is right.
Even God needs an offering.
Hello.
Firstly...
I am very sorry about last meeting.
So yes the deal...
The deal is that nothing changes, really.
Except that you'll sell Shining Broadband.
Oh you mean partnership.
No. Employees.
You'll work for Shining. Top salaries
and a mind-blowing settlement scheme for...
Sonali.
Sonali cable.
Yes, Sonali cable.
- And what will happen to Race Net?
- They'll get shut down.
Shining will be the sole
broadband provider in this city.
Drinks?
Mr. Bobby...
Come.
Please come.
Just look at that. Mumbai's largest
Ganesha idol. 25 feet tall.
And right beside it, a common man's
tiny version. Barely a foot tall.
Both are paraded together.
They mean the same to everyone.
Nobody pushes the small one aside.
Each idol has space, respect and value.
Each idol has space, respect and value.
And value is what I'm giving you.
Come on Raghu.
We're offering $160,000.
In one bloody payment
and a fat bloody...
We don't want all that Mr. Bobby.
Three thousand relationships
are not for sale.
Raghu, your mom owns a 60% stake.
Owned.
Now it belongs to me.
I respect what Ms. Meena Pawar wants.
But Sonali and I get the final say.
That's for you.
Sonali. There won't be any more meetings.
Meet, cheat, do as you please.
You can't hide from Lord Ganesha.
He is watching you.
All hail Lord Ganesha!
Why, Sonali?
Why did you behave like that?
Didn't Raghu explain the
political pressures?
Meena, how can you expect these
low lifes to understand such things?
- Look at her family...
- Keep my family out of it!
Which family? What...
Just shut up!
She's come a long way on her own.
Don't forget you're in her office.
And if I were you,
I'd apologize immediately.
After the damage she's done,
you want me to apologize?
I would apologize. Now!
Meena.
Dada. An apology is in order.
But...
Sorry.
Raghu, Sonali and I need to talk.
Oh mom. I can't handle
any more miscommunication.
I'm good here.
Go on, talk.
- Leave!
- Leave!
Sonali, you can't have what's not yours,
can you?
Absolutely. But what's
mine, I can't let go.
Can I?
Let go of Raghu, Sonali.
Raghu?
I was talking about the center.
And in Raghu's case...
I don't really need to hold on.
And if I have to...
Then it just wasn't meant to be.
"Jaani Janardhan or John."
"A celebrity or Don."
"Giver of happiness...
..giver of food and water."
"Who is the king of Mumbai?"
"Lord Ganesha rocks."
"Lord Ganesha rocks."
"Strength to the weak...
..faith to the lost."
"Lord you give...
..peace to every being."
"Whether its a mountain or an anthill...
..everyone dances at your will."
"Good, bad or ugly...
..a pauper or a prince."
"Giver of happiness...
..giver of food and water."
"Who is the king of Mumbai?"
"Lord Ganesha rocks."
"Lord Ganesha rocks."
"A Mansion or a hut in Chembur."
"A plate spun from sugar
or made from gold."
"They bow their heads
for the vermilion."
"For you they all come together."
"Jaani Janardhan or John."
"A celebrity or Don."
"Giver of happiness...
..giver of food and water."
"Who is the king of Mumbai?"
"Lord Ganesha rocks."
The center means everything
to you, doesn't it?
Correct. Just the center.
Ever wondered why?
I don't know.
It's late.
Shall I leave?
Raghu.
Wait for a while.
There's something on your cheek.
There's something on your cheek too.
Weren't you leaving?
I'm already gone.
Me too.
"I want to kiss you...
..and feel our love."
"When you are by my side
this calm descends on me."
"This is the start of our romance..."
"..our silence says it all."
"Just need to see one glimpse
of you to live this life."
It feels just like home.
After the Durga festival.
It feels just like home.
After the Durga festival.
Totally empty.
You mean West Bengal? Kolkata?
Bangladesh. Khulna.
Where did you fall?
It's your turn today.
Why are you so pissed at your brother?
Say.
Tell me.
Let it out.
He branded you?
Since then, he has a thing for hot stuff.
Lighten up, man!
B.D. is too slow
in understanding jokes.
You know why the center
means so much to me?
Why?
It takes me inside people's homes.
- I love that.
- Why?
Because... homes have a fragrance.
A mother's fragrance.
Which my home will never have.
This isn't even a home.
Three thousand homes.
Three thousand!
Our homes.
Jayyu get up, call somebody.
- Leave me!
- No.
What the hell!
Hello Sonali cable centre.
Yes sir, there was a little problem.
Please check now.
You should be back online.
Kiddo. We'll move you to private.
It's five star.
- A room with a sea view.
- Great.
Sonali will take care of you.
She's like my mom.
Can I kiss you too?
Bring it on.
He's been watching too many TV soaps.
Mummy.
Looks like Raghu took care of your virus.
Shut up you rascal.
Wow Sada, you ripped his pants off!
You almost bit his butt off.
What did you expect?
That I'd sit him down and worship him?
They destroyed our center.
It's no joke.
Sonali, hold my hand.
- I'm cold.
- Get the doctor.
Are you okay?
Look at me!
Where's B.D.?
Somewhere safe.
My locket?
The nurse has it.
Just keep talking to me.
What wrong?
Talk to me!
Sonali. Green.
What's green?
It's over.
No!
I think I'm going offline...
Shut up rascal!
We never go offline!
- Raghu. Doctor.
- Don't leave my hand.
Jayyu. Raghu.
Sada. No.
Sada.
Raghu.
"Why has the season changed?"
"..my heart feels a little empty."
"Someone close has left me bereft...
..left me."
Mr. Bobby.
We have a tiny situation.
Sweating with the AC on?
Are you ill?
"My fate cries...
..at my life."
"There is a wave of sadness
in every breath."
"My fate cries...
..at my life."
"There is a wave of sadness
in every breath."
"It feels like an illusion...
..all my dreams broken."
Enjoy your vacation.
"How is that I melted into...
..my own shadow."
"I am still in shock."
It was a mistake.
Say sorry.
"In your heart...
..let me buy some space."
"I can only spend on the dreams...
..which remain."
"A little house of hope...
..come kindred spirit."
"Stay as my companion...
..throughout this life."
"This is what I had desired."
'It all ended with a stroke."
"Why has the season changed?"
Uncle open the door.
Uncle open the door.
Won't you kiss him?
It was Shining, wasn't it?
I get it.
- They were your men.
- Stop it!
Let it go.
It was an accident.
Don't make the same mistake.
Keep your head down.
- I'll take care of...
- Don't touch it!
Talk to Mr. Gawde he will look after it.
Inaamdar Sir. Any updates?
Sonali, be patient.
Let Meena ma'am handle it,
or it'll just get worse.
He was just a kid.
How much worse can it get?
A lot worse.
My center was attacked.
My technician was murdered.
Won't you file a report?
Any suspects?
Yes. Bobby Bose from
Shining Broadband.
Any proof?
The case being handed over to you
is proof enough.
Look, you're a good girl of the hood.
So, stay that way.
I'm not such a good girl that
I can't see the filth right in front of me.
What do you mean?
My free internet has
replaced your Viagra pills.
Hey Sangeeta.
- Throw her out!
- Back off!
Please continue.
This is Sonali's internet service.
It won't leave you limp.
- Up your's!
- Get out before I arrest you!
Get back to work!
Back from hiding?
You shouldn't have bothered.
Believe me. I was locked in.
You could've broken the door down.
And I did!
Try to understand.
This is totally out of our league.
Even an ant can make an elephant
do the Disco.
It just has to bite the right spot.
Remember what this
rascal used to say?
So, we have a quote from
another provider.
The committee hasn't decided yet.
This is impossible, Sir.
That too without an advance payment.
We'll do it.
Sonali.
Within a month, your entire colony
will be WiFi-ready.
Including the 300 new flats.
Think before you commit.
Let us know if it's beyond you.
Sir, you wouldn't have called us
if you didn't think we could pull it off.
All the best.
No bank will lend us money.
And I can't ask mom.
- Where do we get the money?
- I don't know.
You're the "sword sharpener".
Figure it out.
So, here's the deal.
We defer 3-months pay.
And work Sundays too.
I'm selling everything I own for this.
And as soon as we get paid,
everyone gets a 3-month bonus.
And... a partnership.
But we don't have time.
In or out, let me know now.
I'm broke, so I can't put in any money.
But I can figure something out
for the next three months.
I'm in.
I have a little money saved up.
"These pennies of desires...
these pennies of courage.'
"These pennies of desires...
these pennies of courage.'
"These pennies of courage...
..of strength."
"We twist around in rhythm...
..in courage."
"These pennies of desires...
these pennies of courage.'
Chanda ma'am please
this is embarrassing.
You're our customer.
And I'd like to remain so.
This place is important to me.
"These pennies of desires...
these pennies of courage.'
- You wanted some cash?
- Yes.
For what purpose?
You lack the bandwidth to
handle the purpose.
So chill.
And thank you.
Bandwidth...
"Life enchants me...
..the colors of life."
"Life frightens me...
..the burdens."
"Time surrounds us...
..with intrigue."
"Listen to me...
..we are formidable."
"We are the heat of the flame...
..the smoke."
What's this? I thought we were short.
Just take it. The "Sword Sharpener"
always delivers.
Catch them.
You rascal.
Raghu.
Call the ambulance.
Didn't they teach you in business school...
that business is sweat
and a little blood too?
Not really, Sir.
Ok. Rosy...
Then learn now.
Stop shitting your pants.
Now that you've stirred the hornet's nest,
be a man and ride the heat.
- Brother...
- Be careful.
He's fine. Don't worry.
Turn it from your left.
How is he feeling now?
He is ok now.
Brother be careful.
Ma'am.
I want to see him.
Just for a minute.
You selfish witch!
How many more will you kill?
If anything happens to Raghu...
I'll make sure you beg for death.
Get out of here!
Sona! She insulted you?
Did she hit you?
She reminded me of my
wretched childhood.
Nothing I'm not used to.
That's it! You're not going
out there on your own.
I've come this far on my own.
Do you even realize that?
Why isn't Jayyu answering his phone?
What the hell, Jayyu?
I never thought you, of all people,
would stab me in the back.
When have you ever thought of us?
About what we wanted.
Now that you're getting ditched,
you want to partner up.
And earlier? Remember?
You treated us like crap.
How can you say that?
You installed our very first connection!
I'm installing their first connection too.
The difference is...
Four times the pay.
Weekends off.
And this company T-shirt.
We could have had all this too.
Raghu had it all planned out.
Sonali, does Raghu have to worry
about his meals, or pay off loans?
Does he have to worry about
rats in his home?
Don't dangle that carrot
in front me.
Even his mom had to give in.
Raghu can't do shit.
These people killed Sada.
- Yeah, but we're alive.
- They killed Sada, Jayyu.
Look, I can find you a job too.
Raghu wasn't the target.
- The hit was on the girl.
- And she means nothing?
Relax.
Bhau, foot-soldiers like Sonali's father
helped you reach where you are.
And now the same man's daughter
is easily dispensable? Where's the justice?
Son, doormats exist to be stepped on.
It's time to grow up.
Do what's necessary.
Meena, how long have you been
part of the State Assembly?
Nine years, thanks to you.
I've done nothing.
Our party rests on your shoulders.
But, it's time to aim higher.
I'm announcing the Lower House
candidates next week.
I want this mess cleared by then.
Let it go, Sonali.
Go out on your own terms.
Thank you.
What do you see in her Raghu?
Love's a bitch right?
And I'm blinded by it.
But what about you?
What do you see in Sonali?
She's what you were 30 years ago.
And you can't handle it!
That's nonsense!
- She's nothing like me.
- But she's everything to me.
My phone and keys.
Raghu.
Shetty, I need four technicians
urgently. Please.
I bought the equipment with
money from Race Net.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- You wouldn't have agreed.
- I would've sold my home.
- It's not that simple.
We need corporate support.
Zooni can arrange it.
- You've been seeing her again!
- Oh please, not that again.
It's either now or never.
We're in deep shit.
- You're not seeing her?
- No, I'm not. Trust me.
You swear?
I swear.
Try it. It's healthy.
Healthy, huh?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
No. Are you mad?
Sonali, our investment
is not an interference.
Nobody will come in between
you and your customers.
That's a promise.
- I'll read it later.
- I've already read it.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
As I was saying, these Shining
idiots have to pay.
You know, how the Americans do it?
Stripping down huge corporations.
Yes, Zooni, talk to your lawyers.
Maybe we...
Oh my god!
Dad, look at this.
As I was saying,
these Shining idiots...
We don't need to worry about Shining.
What are you talking about?
I've just got a text from Singapore.
It's really, really good news guys.
Zooni what good news?
Our parent company and
Shining have entered...
into a strategic partnership.
So, technically,
we are all part of Shining.
What the hell is she saying, Raghu?
Race Net has been bought by Shining...
So now our customers will get the best
broadband service out there.
- Shining Broadband?
- They are the major partner, so... yes.
And you're the
major partner in my company.
Well... yes.
No.
Zooni, you did not tell
me about any of this.
I did not signed up for this.
I just found out myself!
I can't believe you sold Sonali Cable
out to Shining behind my back!
But I did not know about it.
Here's your Oscar.
Did you study business
in America or acting?
Or are they the same?
I had no idea, Sonali.
- But I did.
- What did you know?
That you too would stab me in the back.
I love you.
You're so full of shit.
If only my dad had been there for me,
I'd have gone to college like you.
I swear on my slut of a mother,
I would have seen this coming.
You rascal.
Bhau Rao has announced...
his party's candidates for
Lower House elections.
The names on the list have surprised...
political experts across the country.
Meena ma'am.
Tell that Bhau if he doesn't
give election ticket...
I sacrificed everything for the party.
I did so much for Bhau.
Instead of nominating me,
he kicked me out of the State Assembly.
Do you still think
Bhau is calling the shots?
He's nothing but Shining's puppet.
Just like you, they broke Sonali.
And me too.
No, son.
They can't break you so easily.
I won't let them.
Your turn.
Bobby. Still at "almost" or
do we have the whole of Mumbai?
It's the last phase, Sir.
Another few days.
You've changed, Bobby.
What sir?
You avoid looking me in the eye,
like a petty pickpocket.
- What's the matter?
- Nothing at all, Sir.
It's definitely something.
Checkmate!
I'm the only one
who can beat me at my game.
You dare laugh at me?
Mr. Bobby.
I don't want bail.
I'm going back in.
You're lucky I'm back.
Sign here.
Don't leave Mumbai
till this is over.
Are you kidding?
I'll never leave Mumbai.
And neither will the city leave me.
- Let's go, dad.
- I'll be right out.
Sonali.
Hear me out.
Who ordered the hit on my daughter?
Inamdaar. Tell me.
Can we at least talk?
Just for an hour.
An hour? I had given you my life.
Let's go.
Sonali.
I was just saying
come home this evening.
Let's talk about you and Raghu.
But I thought we were siblings.
Talk to her.
Let's go.
I've never seen him sober before.
We should do something about it.
We reap what we sow.
Let's not make things worse.
You're drinking tea?
I've quit.
I've quit using your mother
as an excuse.
Just like that?
Sona, your mother didn't
abandon you.
I took you from her.
Why?
She used to say, "Datta, you stink
more of blood than booze.
Give up this life."
But... I gave her up.
Where's mom?
She killed herself.
Welcome to Shining broadband.
We are happy to help you.
Your call is important to us.
Sonali...
Their helpline doesn't help at all.
I get the same voice on every number.
"Press 1 for Hindi, Press 2 for English."
Nobody listens to us.
And then they ask me to
file a complaint online.
Your broadband was best.
Don't leave.
I can't help you.
I've lost everything.
The people of India and
the Shining Group are lovers.
And when a third person comes between us
it's just not very enjoyable.
Narayan Vaghela was born
in a small village where his mother...
supported the family
by making "Khakhras".
Mr. Vaghela believes...
It is... a love story, dear.
Love story.
Rosy.
A $2,500 drink for Madhavan, a $2,500 drink
for Bobby and a $2,500 drink for me.
To "all of" Mumbai!
And to Bobby's nose,
which is now "almost" a nose!
Hey B.D. So how did you become
such a computer whiz?
Sada. I was a hacker in Bangladesh.
I can break into any system
and wreak havoc.
You might come in handy someday.
Have you told Sonali?
Hell, no! I don't want any trouble.
I just want to lay low
and settle down with Jabbo.
And I don't want to lose friends like you.
You call yourself a friend?
Sonali? How did you find us?
Sada sent me.
Whom you abandoned.
He was like a brother to me.
But I got scared.
They're too big for us to take on.
B.D. If they are the big tree,
then we are a small axe.
B.D. Can you see me?
I worked like a dog for madam's party.
The stones I threw, the buses I burnt,
remember?
Come to the point.
The balls you have, to put
a hit out on my daughter!
Raghu is the one who was hit.
Thanks to Sonali.
Is that why Meena ma'am
wants her to marry her son?
Being sober doesn't suit you.
You're damn right!
Sonali, Raghu called.
He wants to help.
So he can betray me again?
I'll do anything for my brother.
If only he were alive...
Sada is alive, and very much
a part of our plan.
You'll have only ten minutes to
execute the plan. Hit 'em hard!
I'm with you on this. But you can do
this without breaking the law.
Have you ever seen an elephant
dance to an ant's tune?
Neither have I.
But I will tomorrow.
- Thanks B.D. see you soon.
- See you.
Excuse me.
Constable Sonali Tandel, Mumbai police.
Bomb squad.
Bomb squad?
Just a routine check.
She's one of ours.
Hello! Do you have an appointment?
- I have a bomb!
- What? Stop!
Hello, security.
Where's the girl?
A girl here?
Haven't seen one in ages.
Who the hell are you?
I'm Sonali Dattaram Tandel.
Tandel.
How'd you get up here?
I walked right in.
What do you want?
I am jobless, you took it away.
So I figured, I'd swing by and...
blow you up!
Sit down!
There's some time.
You sit.
You sit.
Have a seat.
I never imagined I'd even be
able to stand in front of you.
You were my hero once.
And now? A big Zero?
Lesser!
Just because you couldn't
control your business.
Just because you couldn't
control your greed.
Greed defines business.
Sorry Sir.
Customers define business.
You should know better.
What with this huge empire of yours.
But I can't blame you.
You're all about
one-night-stands.
Like those guys who hit on girls,
and tell them they love them.
And once they use them,
they won't even take their calls.
You get it, right, girl?
Your "love story" is similar.
Once the customer is in your bed,
what choice is he left with?
He keeps punching numbers
to a robotic voice.
And is forced to pay fat bills.
And what do you do about it?
You enjoy your Khakhras.
Go on kid. Let it all out.
I'll humor you.
Don't touch it!
Shining Khakhra. The only Khakhra
every Indian must eat.
Enjoy.
The other Khakhra is made by
an old woman in her home.
Like your mother used to.
And your point is?
That both, your mother and I just
wanted to earn a living.
We're the same person.
And you...
You finished me!
Think about it.
What does that make you?
What do you want?
Answer me!
What on earth do you want?
Everyone dances to your tune.
Now, it's your turn.
I'm the ant that'll make
you do the Disco.
This is for Sada.
Bobby you b.
You swindled millions from
Shining while buying Race Net.
If Vaghela finds out,
what will he do with you?
Zooni, Vaghela greenlit the hit on Sonali.
And this isn't his first hit. He's made
many such problems disappear.
Nobody can touch him. He's got cops
politicians and the media in his pocket.
But I have Vaghela in my pocket.
I have proof of all his illegal activities.
Bhau. If one fights back,
ten more will follow.
No Vaghela. I'll handle Sonali Tandel.
Enough of handling. Just kill her!
Bobby will take care of the money.
Long live Maharashtra.
So, this is your "bomb"?
Just a sparkler.
You'll hear the fireworks soon.
And I dare you
to put a hit out on me again.
Watch your back.
Because this video is already on YouTube.
- This is not true.
- Oh, it's not true?
Don't send your lap dogs
after me next time.
Step in the ring yourself.
I'm waiting.
You'll never have all of Mumbai
to yourself.
Hey kid! Wait up.
Work for me.
You'll control all of Mumbai.
Mumbai can control itself.
You better prepare for the lawsuits.
You've messed with the common man.
And he is very angry.
Don't touch her.
Let her go.
You let her walk in like she owns the place
and now you want to be heroes?
Morons!
This is the beginning of your end.
Out.
Get out.
Move.
Madhavan.
Sir.
This thing... You... Tube...
Yes, YouTube sir.
Buy it.
I've got a huge mortgage to pay.
So do I.
Which is why
I prefer playing defense.
Will I get blacklisted?
Arrested?
- Or...
- Anything can happen.
After all, it's a love story, dear.
Why did Mr. Vaghela want
to meet so urgently?
By the way nice tattoo.
What?
What's there to explain?
It's all in this file.
This will kick up quite a storm.
Do you think Sonali Tandel had a
hand in Meena Pawar's expose?
That bitch and her drunk father.
They can't touch a hair on my head!
Looks like Sonali hit a nerve.
Shut up.
Hey you turn of the camera.
Otherwise I will break it.
Every common but fearless girl,
exposes corrupt politicians.
A video named Sonali leaks
goes viral on all social networks sites.
After Sonali Tandel's shocking expose
of Shining Corp's illegal activities...
the company's chairman Mr. Vaghela
was taken into police custody.
Shining Broadband's license
has now been suspended.
This comes as good news for small
entrepreneurs fighting corporate greed.
Any word from Raghu?
No news is best news.
Who's the rookie?
No idea. Jayyu brought him.
Without asking me?
He'll get us into deep shit again.
What the hell!
Who did you hire now?
You? What are you doing here?
Never question the "sword sharpener".
Dear Sonali.
Some connections never go offline.
Every well said sir.
- Let go.
- Look at me.
Do you believe me now?
I had no idea what Zooni was up to.
So what do you want now?
Same thing you do.
Partnership.
Fifty-fifty.
Will you marry me?
First, go shave!
Do we ever go offline?
