[Traffic noise]
Maxi, listen, I'm telling you...
Tell uncle about Mrs. Deshmukh.
He'll sort it out with a few phone calls.
- Pedro, do me a favour. - What?
Don't open your mouth inside. I'll do the talking.
Please.
Okay.
- Sir. - Yes.
Come inside.
Either you two are unaware of the of the situation
or you don't care about it.
Both scenarios are worrisome for me.
You forgot a third option, uncle.
Really? What's that?
That everything's under control.
Max, my career and this project are sailing in one boat.
- If this boat sinks... - Relax, uncle. Trust me.
- Everything's under control. - Really?
Yes.
Pedro, is everything under control?
- Yes, uncle. - I'm telling you...
- You wait. - You're his legal adviser.
Speak up.
Uncle, it's a temporary setback.
Mrs. Deshmukh from Shastri Colony is asking for a lot.
What's the solution?
Well, uncle, if you could put pressure on her from here and there...
Why would she heed me when you don't?
Don't be ridiculous!
Max, remember one thing.
I picked you and your punters from the streets and gave you a golden chance.
So, don't disappoint me.
Or I'll forget we are related by blood.
[Suspenseful music]
[Footsteps]
- Excuse me, Max sent for me. - Yes, sir.
Okay.
Sir, Ashu sir is here.
Ashu, come in.
[Chuckles]
- How are you? - Great.
You?
Sit.
I heard about your car.
How will you retaliate, Max?
Things have changed, Ashu. You're living there, right?
- Will you do me a favour? - Of course.
- This is your first task, don't mess up. - Yes.
[Suspenseful music]
We need maximum tenants to sign the project.
We need to know who are loyal to Mrs. Deshmukh.
Then we'll target those who are not
and convince them to sign.
You can get details since you live there.
Nobody should know of our plan.
Just get the details.
Okay.
Ashu, nobody should know you're my brother.
Things could go haywire.
7Don't trust anybody.
[Suspenseful music]
[Cars approaching]
[Wild sound]
[Indistinct chattering]
[Dramatic music]
- Aunty, - Yes.
- I need to talk. - Go on.
We toil and sweat it out day and night
while you splurge in air-conditioned rooms.
This can't go on.
Aunty, I want a raise.
Silly man, you will die sweating even if you get a raise.
[Laughing]
Try buying a perfume!
- Perfume... - Surya!
I'll leave with all your men in town.
Please do. Nobody's stopping you. Just leave.
- Shut up. - Look at his audacity, mom.
- Get going. - Oh man.
Why do you argue with him?
I was talking to you.
Why did you say you'll leave me?
You're like a son to me.
Forget it, aunty.
When will you give me an increment?
I have to look after everybody, not just you.
Understood?
Something huge is about to happen.
Don't cast an evil eye!
[Slapping]
[Dramatic music]
[School bell rings]
Kids, line up.
Today we have a new karate coach to teach you.
- He's a black belt and a district champion. - Your dad. Look.
- You guys will learn a lot from him. - Over to you, sensei.
Everyone.
3, 4, 5, 6, 7
[Yelling]
8, 9, 10
- Had fun? - Yes, dad.
The more you train, the more you'll enjoy it.
I love Karate.
- Is it? - Priya.
Let's go, mom's here.
- Come. - Go on, child.
[Kisses]
This is our secret.
Don't tell anyone. Okay.
Okay, dad.
Go.
I love you, dad.
Go.
[Soft music]
[Birds chirping]
[Door locking]
Amy!
Can I have bread?
[Breathing heavily]
I am not a beggar.
Are you mad? What are you doing?
- Why won't you take the money? - I don't want it.
I don't want free stuff.
Don't be stubborn. I gave you the bread.
It's you who's acting stubborn
since that night. I only tried to help!
I'm not that kind of a man!
I got 'vindaloo' and 'sorak' to eat with you.
That's why I'm not letting you pay.
Not done, you take the money.
Return my 'vindaloo' and 'sorak'.
I ate it.
That was my food.
I want it back.
I'll pay for it. How much is it?
Forget the money, I want the food.
Fine, I'll make it for dinner.
Come over.
- What time? - 8 p.m.
I'll be there.
[Gentle music]
[Birds chirping]
- Hi. - Look.
Hi.
- How's work? - Good.
Great.
[Kisses]
When did he get here?
Well, Ira messaged him, so he came.
Getting to know her uncle.
Yeah.
I'll just come.
It will come.
- It's come. - Hey.
- Hey, Ira baby. - Hi, dad.
You know what? Ashu uncle can't use the camera.
- I taught him. - Good girl.
- Go mamma's calling you. - Yeah.
Yes, mamma?
What brings you here?
I finished the task.
There are 114 tenants in the colony.
Ashu, give the report to Shardul.
He'll get the MOU signed.
Why Shardul? Let me do it.
I did thorough research.
Great.
You finished your job.
We should speak to Janardan.
- Who's Janardan? - Mrs. Deshmukh's nephew.
Tempt him and he'll get the tenants on our side.
Ashu, I told you not talk to anyone.
Just get the details.
- We can use him. - Don't discuss work at home, Ashu.
Some other time.
Yes, you're right.
Anything else?
[Poignant music]
Fine, I'll go now.
Ashu,
next time call me before you come.
Call me even if Nisha or Ira call you.
Don't feel bad.
You're my brother so I should know when you're coming home.
Right?
Yes.
I'll do that.
Delicious food.
[Chair creaks]
Pack the leftovers, I'll eat it tomorrow.
You licked everything off
It doesn't need washing!
[Laughing]
The residents must've harassed you
when you became Amy, right?
People were shocked and they gossiped
but it's okay.
What about the goons?
Surya and Janardan?
You said they're not decent folks.
Perhaps they quiet for Mrs. Deshmukh's sake.
Is there some problem between Surya and Janardan?
How would I know?
You've been here since years.
Ashu, I have an early start tomorrow.
[Gentle music]
What happened?
You don't care about me.
You just want information for Max.
That explains the act.
No...
Go.
Ashu, I know you since childhood.
Max and his friends bullied you.
Yet you wouldn't stop worshipping Max.
You're still the same.
[Soft music]
[Door closes]
[Indistinct chattering]
Fucker, trust me,
you've never tasted such fish.
- Janardan... - Soak in the aroma.
- Janardan. - We're shut, come tomorrow.
No, brother. I don't want drinks. I want to talk.
You heard me, buzz off.
Fine, continue being Surya and Mrs. Deshmukh's lapdog.
- The fish... - You...
What did you say?
I am Max Gaonkar's brother, Ashu.
I have an offer for you.
[Suspenseful music]
You slog hard yet you have no money nor respect.
Tell me something I don't know.
Get to the point.
My story is the same.
- What? - Yes.
You and I can do a lot.
Shastri Colony has 114 tenants.
48 of those are loyal to Mrs. Deshmukh.
The others will sign the contract. Max is offering them a good deal.
Mrs. Deshmukh only has 48 on her side.
The more tenants you convince, the more you earn.
You want me to betray my brother for your brother's sake!
They've been cheating you for years now.
Do you know how much Mrs. Deshmukh will earn from our project?
Will she share it with you?
No.
- Can you introduce me to Max? - Sure.
I'm not bluffing.
His people will come to the colony in a day or two
to get signatures.
[Dramatic music]
This is the list of tenants.
Don't visit homes with red cross.
Sir...
Go to all other homes.
Speak to them respectfully with a smile.
Get them to sign the MOU. The attorney is with you.
We'll wait here.
Call me if you need anything.
Get to work.
Inform Mrs. Deshmukh and you'll rise in her esteem.
- What are you doing? - I just need the consent letter from you.
Back off.
Stop it right away.
- I'll set you right. - Oh really?
- You can't do this. - Try me
- Yes. - Surya's men are here.
- Where are you? - Near the well.
- I'll send the location. - Coming.
A problem has arisen.
We will not going to sign anything.
Hey thrash him.
Back off.
Go away.
Get lost.
There is MOU document in it?
I won't let you go without the papers.
- You don't own this colony. - I'm warning you.
- Hand me the papers or... - I'll slap you
Don't you dare touch me.
You'll get thrashed.
I will have it my way.
The matter will aggravate, Surya.
I don't care.
Back off, Surya.
Don't be an idiot, leave
To hell with you!
[Fighting sound]
[Screaming]
You escape from this lane.
Reach the office.
Give the MOU to Max.
Okay.
[Water pours]
[Breathing heavily]
[Police siren blaring]
Come on.
Leave me.
Come on.
[Traffic sound]
What happened, Shyam?
- Got the MOUs? - A few signed.
Give me.
Ashu sir said hand it to Max sir.
- Ashu sir? - Yes.
Okay, go.
Go.
This is 50.
- Maxi, how many people signed? - 50.
Not even close to what we need.
- Do you need help? - I'll manage.
[Breathing heavily]
Not done, Maxi.
One mistake and you forgot all the good work I've done.
Good night.
I spoke to the cops.
Shardul and the others will be released tomorrow morning.
[Suspenseful music]
[Sigh]
[Yawning]
Listen, is the bruise visible?
Why? Got a date tomorrow?
[Laughing]
I've to meet my daughter.
She will ask me what happened.
Tell her someone thrashed and looted you.
I teach karate in her school.
You want me to say someone looted me!
[Indistinct chattering]
- How many kids do you have? - A daughter.
I
have 5 daughters.
Daughters? And still you get into fights!
They beat me when I am home.
[Chuckles]
You don't know my mother.
She won't back down unless she gets what she wants.
Max is the same.
I know him since childhood.
He won't back down.
That means you and I will get thrashed and jailed again!
[Laughing]
[Sigh]
Listen Surya,
convince your mother and I'll speak to Max.
What say?
[Snoring]
Ashu, did you come here directly from the police station?
Yes.
- This is urgent. - Tell me.
Janardan is Deshmukh's relative. I mentioned him the other day.
He's angry with Mrs. Deshmukh.
He's ready to help us.
I spoke to him, meet him once.
You spoke to him?
Why? I told you not to talk to anyone.
Janardan will help us get the signatures.
Who asked you to overstep?
Just do as you're told.
I didn't meet him.
- He came to you? - Yes.
He got to know we are brothers.
- So he came to me. - Doesn't matter.
Only I will speak to the tenants.
- Understood? - Yes.
Why is Shardul talking to them?
What?
Shardul made a deal with Surya in the lock up.
They were discussing their daughters
and said they're paying for your ego battles.
Shardul is distracted.
He's worried about his divorce more than the project.
[Sigh]
Shardul and Pedro have left everything on you.
They know Max will sort things out.
Done? Now leave.
- Meet Janardan. I'm... - Go home, Ashu.
[Intense music]
[Fire crackling]
Shardul, don't back down.
Don't lose your temper.
[Car's door opens and closes]
If you're giving only one villa, increase its size.
That's not possible but more cash is possible.
Possible. Right, Max?
Mom, you okay with it?
Have you lost your mind? Why go soft?
He loves to berate us.
[phone vibrates]
Max, I have to take this. It's important.
I'll get straight to the point, Mrs. Deshmukh.
I won't speak in riddles.
The tenants have realised this is a good deal.
Some of them are with us
including some of your people.
People know you're thinking of your gains, not theirs.
Mrs. Deshmukh, sooner or later these tenants will side with us.
Then I won't need you.
I'm not interested in berating anyone.
I just want to finish my project.
[Suspenseful music]
- What happened? - The deal is done.
- Done? - Yes.
- Congrats. - Yes.
You don't look happy.
I have other problems too.
Shardul, once this project is finished, we'll have no problems in life.
Who called you?
Who else? Rakhi.
Don't worry, Shardul. We'll find a legal solution.
I'll speak to the child custody arbitrator.
Nobody can separate you and Priya.
Thank you, buddy.
Bloody hell, I never felt like this for anybody except Priya.
I understood love and emotions after she was born.
[pats]
She's my life.
[Chuckles]
[Indistinct chattering]
Oh no...
Look, the sissy's here.
Ashu, come here.
Ashu, the oldie gave in.
Our project is on.
Did you speak to Janardan?
I used him as bait and weakened her. You made it possible.
Make me a drink.
[Suspenseful music]
- Hey. - She's asleep.
Finally.
Today I am relieved
Go on.
Its sorted now
Careful. Don't pass out drunk again.
I'm fine, you be sober.
Wow, stutterer.
You found your tongue.
I am...
Say it.
I am not...
[Laughing]
What is it?
I am not...
Oh my God. Share the joke.
He used to stammer as a child.
We used to make him rehearse
'I don't stammer'.
- He's still the same. - Shardul, that was ages ago.
- Oh no, listen... - Ashu has changed.
No, he still stammers.
Say it.
- Go on. - Say it.
Say it.
I...
What? I...
- I... - Stammer...
[Laughing]
Shardul, it's not funny.
I...
- I...am - It's fine, Ashu.
I...
I don't stammer.
You can say it.
Listen. I don't stammer.
I don't...
It's not funny.
Stop it.
- Forget it, Ashu. - Just stop it.
It's okay, I believe you.
[Laughing]
Where's my drink?
Forget it.
Max, you teased Ashu. That's really not okay.
[Sigh]
We weren't teasing him, Nisha.
We gave you the backdrop.
It used to be hilarious.
Ashu also used to laugh.
He laughed today too.
He felt hurt, Max. Didn't you notice?
It wasn't funny then and it isn't even now.
Making fun of someone's disorder is
not okay.
You're a caring man.
You're his elder brother.
God forbid, what if Ira had that problem?
Max?
Seriously!
[Switch off]
[Fighting sound]
[screams]
You...
You said Max will make a deal with me.
He went straight to my aunty.
[Coughs]
I committed to my men at your behest.
What do I tell them?
Tell now what shall I do?
Stop!
They haven't signed anything.
[Breathing heavily]
I'll find a solution.
- I will do something. - Look.
[Breathing heavily]
My time is up.
What are you doing? Let him go. Ashu!
- What are you doing? Let him go. - You better
- get you act together soon. - Let him go. Ashu!
Okay.
- [Slapping] - Hey...
