So the Mavericks have comfortably beaten the Nawabs...
A victory that has propelled them back to the top of the table.
And that, ladies and gentlemen wraps up the PPL League stage...
All 56 games, done and dusted.
The Chennai Legends are in third, and will play the eliminator against the Jaipur Jaguars...
The Rockets are second and they will square off against the Mavericks in the first qualifier.
10 days ago Mr Dhawan gave you all a chance to invest 200 million each.
The business has grown with every game.
And the cumulative figure is now roughly 15 billion.
This money will be transferred in small denominations, via multiple accounts.
Since the Chandigarh match,
the Mumbai Mavericks have played 4 matches,
and your investment has quadrupled.
Hello and welcome, everyone!
Let's first talk about the Mavericks,
who lead the table.
What a journey!
They deserve to be on the top spot. But mind you...
their journey in this tournament has been far from smooth.
I must say, Dhawan is running a smooth operation here.
I think we all know how much Mr Dhawan cares for his reputation.
What about that darkie... Kanaujia...
He's been taught a lesson in a smooth manner too. Impressive!
Prashant can get you one or two wickets in every game...
But his bad overs are really bad!
He concedes 10-15 runs in every other over.
And so many wides and no-balls!
I mean, extras in a Twenty20 match!
Come on, it's a crime.
He's only nineteen...
His game will only improve, especially under a coach like Niranjan Suri.
Sir, I need you to see one more stat. Sir, just here...
Tanay, get me the opposition wagon wheel against... - Rohini, enough!
Sir please, his bowling is too erratic!
Sir, just give me one more minute I'll show you another stat. Just...
You know something... you were the one who pushed him into the team.
And now?
Fuck.
The Mavericks have not all performed consistently.
But one man has kept them going
by scoring in every single match.
Just take a look at his strike rate!
He's the enigmatic, Vayu Raghavan!
Three fifties and a century in the past four matches...
The Mavericks have won only because of Vayu.
He is in red hot form.
Dhawan should buy a few more teams.
Then we will control not just matches...
but the entire league!
And now for the reason that the meeting was called...
The Mavericks have qualified for the playoffs,
and this means bigger stakes,
bigger risks, and much bigger rewards...
And so, we have decided to revise the payment structure.
For the playoffs and the final,
Mr Dhawan's share would be 60 percent instead of 50.
60 percent?!
Asshole! We put in the money and take the risk...
And he takes 60%!
Dhawan is out of his mind...
Call him here, I'll talk to him!
Talk to me about what, Pathak?
Look Dhawan...
Any business, legal or illegal...
has a code of ethics.
You can't raise your commission at your own will.
I'm sorry, Pathak...
I didn't realize I needed your permission.
Dhawan, this is not funny.
It's our money, what are we getting in return?
Nag... relax!
What you're getting...
is the greatest investment opportunity...
in the history of the PowerPlay League.
Gentlemen...
You are getting...
Vayu Raghavan!
Goddess of Death, I will sacrifice this fucker for you today.
Come on, mofo!
You can't get through!
Wow son, you bowl very well!
That was a great ball.
Just flight the ball more
so that you get more turn. - I see.
Once it spins, the ball will slither through to the wicket like a cobra!
May I bowl now? - Yes, of course, you are a great bowler!
Who are you, though?
I'm...
Shambhu Kanaujia... Prashant's father.
Ah I see, the entire family is getting together here.
Mum couldn't make it?
I told you not to go anywhere without telling me.
You say anything anywhere! Who allowed you in here?
Fucking uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews...
cousins, brothers, sisters...
The whole filthy family will come from the village.
Well, at least his father came for him.
You're getting very emotional of late.
I'll have to toughen you up. Shall I line up some coke?
I told you, I've quit.
What has happened to you? Worried about the selection?
No man, I have no reason to be worried.
As you already know...
Niranjan was one of the best fielders of our times.
So please welcome... Niranjan Suri!
I bribed him to say that...
Mr Sinha was no worse a fielder himself.
We were on the Australian tour of '92...
and were playing at the MCG,
and you know how big that ground is.
So the batsman hits a shot.
Mr Sinha gives the ball chase.
The batsmen run two. Then another.
Now, the ball loses steam and rolls
and stops short of the boundary.
But Sinha is in full steam,
still chasing.
The batsmen have run four now.
They're thinking
that by the time Sinha gets to the ball, picks it up, and throws it back...
there's time to steal a fifth!
Now he might be a slow fielder...
but Mr Sinha was a smart cricketer.
Before the batsmen start on the fifth run,
Sinha makes an almighty dive...
and pushes the ball beyond the boundary.
And the umpire had to signal four!
You had to see the expression on the batsmen's faces...
Those were some amazing days I spent with these...
wonderful players, wonderful gentlemen.
I really enjoyed myself.
Y'know, being a coach in the PPL has its benefits.
Work three months...
and holiday with family the rest of the time.
You know, Sinha...
My son was ye high
and now he's...
I want to spend time with him, man.
But tell me something, bro...
I'm hearing talk of the Indian cricket team now.
Will you refuse an offer from them?
No man, I've had enough.
I can't handle the extra pressure and cholestrol!
What are you talking about, Niranjan?
You're an expert at deflecting the pressure on others.
If you become the coach of the Indian team...
it will be the end of it.
Moses, if you can't hold your liquor...
why do you drink, asshole? - Easy, Rohan.
A drunk man speaks the truth.
This bastard should be nowhere near the Indian team.
Why?
Forget it guys, he's drunk. Come, Moses...
Hey, don't touch me!
I need a fucking drink!
What's wrong with him?
The man is frustrated...
Look, Moses... - I knew you'd follow me.
Scared, weren't you?
That I'd spill the beans?
You know, my father used to say that
cheats don't prosper.
He was an idealist.
Basically an idiot.
If he were alive, I'd introduce you to him.
The prospering cheat,
Niranjan Suri.
Mavericks coach, PPL winner...
Motherfucker.
Moses... I'm sorry.
You need to get over the past!
'Moses, drop the catches...'
'Let the wide balls go...'
'Don't stump the batsmen! These things are necessary!'
'I'm with you!'
'You will always be the wicket keeper of the Indian team, a hundred percent!'
And then?
The test series is announced and Moses is out.
But Niranjan Suri...
The great Niranjan Suri...
Still in!
When I came into the team I used to look up to you.
But you screwed me, man!
You turned me into the biggest sell-out of cricket; a whore.
But what does that make you, huh?
It makes you a pimp.
Do you hear me? It makes you a fucking pimp!
Sir, sugar? - Hm?
He's asking how much sugar you'd like.
Just one... one spoon.
That's it. - Thank you.
Your mother is able to walk again now.
Her legs hurt a bit, but the doctor says she will be fine very soon.
No need to worry.
This expensive tea...
Do you have it every day?
Dad, I'm in the team. This is free for my guests and I.
Oh okay.
I met your guru.
He's a good man, and was speaking highly of you!
But I told him to stop gushing...
After all, you have a long way to go yet.
Right?
Dad, they are not gurus...
Just coaches.
Excuse me, can I get an autograph?
What's your name? - Tirth.
I want to be a fast bowler, just like you!
Please give me some tips.
Put in some honest hard work!
Only then can you become a fast bowler, like Prashant!
Thank you!
Sweet kid...
Dad... - Hmm?
Go back to the village.
Why... what happened son? Is everything alright?
I thought I'd stay for a few more days...
Help with your game! - Dad, this isn't your village game.
This game here is very different.
You cannot help me.
But son...
Here's this afternoon's flight ticket to Delhi. You can catch a bus to Mirzapur from there.
This is not a nice city, Dad.
Prashant...
Sir, what do you have to say about Khwabon Ke Parindey?
It's the best film of my career.
And I'm very impressed with Sarah.
You have to watch the film. She is the new superstar.
And Zarina Malik? We heard some rumours of fights between her and the film's producers,
she's not even doing the promotions...
Where do you guys get these stories?
Everything is absolutely fantastic!
In fact, as soon as the PPL gets over...
she'll join us to help promote the film.
Sir, and what about Mr Ahuja and...
Hey Z, the film's trial screening is on Thursday, okay?
Ridiculous! I've been asking for a personal trial for weeks now!
I need to look really good for this screening.
Niki? - Yeah?
Could you find out for me who Sarah Fonseca's stylist is these days?
I'll... I'll find out. - Okay.
Okay...
Hey, Prashant.
How is your father?
Is he still around?
I heard Devender is troubling you.
Even in the 21st century, the caste system...
It's disgusting.
Don't worry, I'll talk to him.
Sir, you don't need to.
Instead why don't you tell me what's wrong with my bowling?
All the no-balls and wides...
Sir, my caste has been maligned for generations.
I'm habituated. I'll endure it.
But sir, this insult to my game...
The humiliation in hiding it from my father
that... I can't endure.
Sir.
I knew it, coach!
Got caught, didn't you?
I just knew it.
When did you start?
Two or three weeks ago.
And why?
I just did. How does it matter?
My lungs, my life! If anyone's gonna die, it'll be me.
You got a problem with that?
Getting on my nerves for no good reason.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't hound you.
My mistake.
If it weren't for you, Prashant wouldn't be in the team today.
You handled Vayu...
Improved Hamish, Dwight's bowling...
You've done all this.
Sometimes I forget how much this team needs you.
I'm sorry man, I...
I overreacted, sorry.
Coach, I want to tell you one thing.
Shahana and I...
We're separating.
Yeah.
I'll see you later.
Arvind...
In how many matches, during time out
have we argued and fought?
I have often rejected your ideas.
But every time, before the end of time out...
in the last ten seconds...
you've always said...
'Coach, it's worth a shot.'
'It's worth a shot.'
Yeah?
Bhaisahab.
He's busy.
Well tell him I need him to do something for me...
Tell him I need him to make a few calls...
to the Indian cricket team selection committee.
Profits this season?
After operation costs and losses...
Our profit this season is 6.57 billion.
It could be doubled or tripled after the finals.
In this scenario, yes...
But if we crack Vayu,
there are no limits.
Ah coach... Come have a seat.
Drink?
No, thank you.
Pritish told me you wanted to chat.
By the way, I'm very impressed with the way you're running things.
All we need now is Vayu.
I think I found a way to crack him.
Obviously, you'll be the one to talk to him.
Vayu won't do it.
Oh, really?
Even on your say-so?
I won't say anything to him.
I won't say anything to anyone.
This is a cricket league, Mr Dhawan.
Not a circus.
And I'm the coach of the Mumbai Mavericks.
Not your ringmaster.
When I fixed games as a player...
I didn't know what I was doing.
The whole country used to watch us play.
Success... Money...
I betrayed everyone.
My teammates, my family.
Even my game.
When I met you the other day...
I was afraid.
I thought I'd lose my job with the Mavericks.
I was afraid you'd let all my secrets out.
Respect earned over the years, all lost in a moment.
But I can't do this anymore.
Because I'm not afraid anymore.
Not even of you.
Also...
I could've gone to the media.
But that would damage the team.
The team could be banned.
But if you pressurize me or the team...
You will leave me with no other option.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay. I respect your decision.
I'll be on my way.
Vayu... - Hey!
Idiot.
The Test series selection is being announced.
So watch it yourself.
Manoj Rishi...
Mayank Nautiyal...
Mohammad Sheikh...
Abhimanyu Pradhan...
N Venkatesh...
and Devender Mishra.
Dropped from the squad are Varun Shobti...
and Vayu Raghavan.
That is the final list for the England series.
Thank you. No questions!
Vayu...
Oh man...
I told you... Look what has happened.
If only he'd listened to you earlier...
Devender, please... Later...
But I'm only trying to talk to him.
This is not the right time, please come later.
Rohini, it's okay, it's okay... It's okay.
Fine, let me know when you're done.
Mohinder was right...
These selectors...
They're all jokers.
I told you nothing happens here without pulling a few strings.
There's still time, if you like - - I don't want to pull any strings!
I never have...
and I never will.
Stop being foolish, man!
There's still time, but only if you come to your senses.
I know some people, all you have to do is agree.
Shall I talk to them?
Hey, wait a minute...
The Cricket Board has yet to explain why...
they have dropped Vayu Raghavan.
Rumour has it that this is a form of punishment for...
the cheerleader scandal last month.
Things have gone out of hand.
I only leaked that scandal to win the match...
If it weren't an absolutely crucial match...
I would never have done it.
This will ruin the boy's career.
So now?
What now...
I'll tell Svetlana to revoke her claims.
Without her, the stories cannot stand erect...
Sorry, darling...
Poor choice of words there.
Handa...
Do you think...
this is the first time a cricketer has done something like this?
So many Indian cricketers have had even bigger scandals.
But they didn't get dropped.
What do you mean?
It was your plan.
But somebody else is using it.
Now we must find out who stands to gain most
by having Vayu dropped from the Indian cricket team.
Spare me the nonsense...
You said the same thing when removing Zarina from the poster.
Then I faced all her tantrums.
Mr Ahuja...
A producer like you, afraid of an actress..?
Believe me, nothing will go wrong.
Anyway, I have invited some special guests today...
around whom Zarina won't misbehave.
Just chill! - We'll see...
Hey, Imtiaz sir is here.
Hi everyone!
Hello. Hey! - Hi!
Hey! How are you?
This film is going to be a hit.
Look at me!
I guess they're going to be on the cover of Moviebuzz magazine soon.
By the way, I didn't realize you had invited the team.
What the fuck?!
I didn't invite the team!
I invited them.
You invite me to so many matches...
I thought I should return the favour!
Don't you like the surprise?
What do we have here?
Huh?
They could've organized a trial screening...
I could've given some feedback.
I haven't seen the film either.
We should trust the producer and director.
Oh, really?
When have you ever trusted producers and directors?
Let's just watch the film, shall we?
Surprise! - Fuck, you scared the shit out of me.
I came in and heard you in the shower...
So I decided to cook you some dinner.
My phone is inside -
Sweetie, listen, listen! - Arvind... Arvind...
Let's just speak for a minute! - It's charging, let me just...
Let it be...
Please?
Can we talk for a minute? - Yeah... yeah!
Is that okay? - Yeah.
Look, I know we have been having lot of fights and arguments of late.
But I also know that we can work on this together.
In fact, look what I've got for you...
Look!
It's a rehab center.
It's away from the city...
You...
We both can go there together.
Sweetie, it'll do us good.
It'll help us get back on track.
And I've figured it all out, don't worry about anything!
Shahana, where's the... Oh!
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Arvind, I'm...
I really feel fucking stupid.
Arvind please listen to me...
I knew you would do this to me, I should've just seen this fucking coming...
Arvind please, Arvind... - No!
Never again.
Arvind, I'm sorry...
Just tell me why.
He admires me.
He appreciates me.
He thinks I'm really beautiful.
When was the last time you thought I was beautiful?
Shahana...
This marriage is over.
They screwed me over...
Where are my scenes?
Look, they may have restructured the edit.
Your scenes may be in the second half.
Let's see... Let's see what Ahuja has to say.
Zarina, at least watch the whole film. - Shh!
You're in trouble, bro. How will you get the girl now?
They're practically stuck to each other!
When did this happen?
Ms Zarina...
Ms Zarina, please listen... - Ahuja!
You've cut my role down to a guest appearance!
No Ms Zarina, it's just... - What?!
You son of a bitch!
Why did you fuck me over like this?
I was under pressure, Ms Zarina... The poster... the edit...
I have to listen to the stars! I'm just a producer, after all.
Give me the name.
Let it go, Ms Zarina...
Give me a name!
There's only one star other than you in this film...
Ma'am? - Vodka.
Small or large?
Actually, I'll just take the bottle.
Give me an orange juice. - Orange juice?
Cranberry martini, and a beer.
Look... no hard feelings, eh?
You really didn't waste any time, did you?
Listen...
Meera also wants this. - Yeah?
And how the fuck do you know that?
Because she told me last night.
In my hotel room, in my fucking bed.
Fucking Litner, you're so full of shit!
Oh yeah? - Yeah.
And if it weren't for all these people... - Oh what... What?
You're afraid of what it might look like?
Well, get this... It can't get any worse!
Meera told me not to talk to you. She said you'd try to start a fight.
But guess what, there's something you've got to know.
Look around mate...
Your own Indian team doesn't even want you...
Motherfucker! - Vayu!
Fuck man! - Say it again?
Say it again, you motherfucker! - Vayu, what are you doing?
What are you doing?! - Fuck you!
Vayu, sshhh!
What's wrong with you?
This is why you've got a bad reputation.
You can't control yourself!
Go say sorry.
Coach, you don't know what he's been... - I know everything!
In fact, the whole country knows.
That's why nobody cares that the PPL's best batsman...
Vayu Raghavan... is not going to England.
I don't care about that right now, and this is a personal matter,
so stay out of it.
Okay.
I'll stay out of it.
Go fight...
and watch your career go up in flames.
Idiot.
Sir...
You've been summoned to the terrace.
Here... Get my car.
Quick!
Fuck.
Car number 867! - Yes.
Bring it out, quick!
Arvind?
Good evening, coach!
Mr Dhawan..?
Zarina...
There are film journalists around.
Do you seriously think drinking is such a good idea?
Silly, silly, silly Imtiaz...
There are no good ideas.
There's only shitty ideas and shittier ideas.
And trusting you...
was the shittiest idea of them all!
Zarina... - Hey, get the fuck off me!
Look at all of you... Pathetic...
Staring at me...
Sleazebags, you want some more gossip?
Well, here it comes...
Cigarette?
I've quit.
Oh! I've even brought your favourite brand.
You know, I haven't smoked in fourteen years.
Thought I'd share one with you.
Come on, Mr Suri...
This could be our first and last cigarette together.
Just one.
Thanks! - Cheers!
I'll give you a light.
You know, buying this team was a huge risk for me...
And I took that risk.
The moment I found out about Damani's bankruptcy,
I decided, 'now is the time!'
I learned everything about every single Mavericks player.
'Due diligence', it's called...
It was most difficult to dig up the dirt on you.
It was really hard work.
These taste disgusting.
Now I remember why I quit.
You know...
When I found out about your...
Past...
I thought it'll be really easy working with you.
Mr Dhawan...
We've already discussed this.
It was a mistake.
A small mistake.
And sometimes...
Small mistakes destroy big plans.
Vayu, you know Niranjan sir is right... - Even you're on his side...
Stop it, stop it guys, stop it!
You've gotta control yourself, Vayu! - Now don't you start on me!
Stop it guys, fuck!
Twelve years I've spent in the industry...
Twelve years... I'm a superstar!
Actors, directors, producers, agents...
All of them are assholes.
And the biggest asshole...
Turned out to be this man!
Him.
We spent endless nights drunk on our dreams...
Seeing our future in the stars...
Of the films we would make!
And the films that would make us.
We used to love each other.
Did you even think twice before destroying my career?!
I can't say I'm surprised.
This is who we are.
This.
Lying, exploitative, cheating...
manipulative motherfuckers.
And the one who wants to be king
has to be the biggest motherfucker of them all.
You've come so, so far, baby.
Please have fun with this whore...
Sarah Fonseca.
Go home with her!
Mr Dhawan...
I thought you had said, you'll do the right thing.
That's exactly what I'm about to do now...
Coach.
Don't take it personally.
This is business!
My business!
And you are a risk!
And all risks need to be eliminated!
Goodbye, coach!
