Uday Prakash loved having a pet goldfish.
The fish reminded him of two things.
One, that we only see the world in 3 colors
or a mixture of them,
Red, blue and yellow.
But a goldfish,
can see a fourth color too.
And Uday Prakash believes,
he can see the world in a fourth color too.
Janta,
I think this website is bogus.
What do you think?
Yes, you heard it right.
He has named his goldfish common man.
It is said that
the memory of a goldfish is very short lived,
and you already know about the memory of our common man.
So this was the second thing.
I don’t think this is a bank.
They haven’t stated it anywhere.
It is the people who have called it one and are believing it is.
Here, have some
What happened?
Listen,
Friends,
What do you want to do about this reporter?
Yeah,
He came again today?
Yes
He was asking too many questions.
Well,
The website is live now.
He will find all his answers there.
You all are getting stressed for nothing
I don’t think it’s a big deal.
What does he get to report here anyways.
I think he’s just trying to get a story out of us.
Anyway, we’ve told him,
If he has any more questions he can always come and ask.
Yes, I have answers to all his questions.
It might just be my paranoia,
but I am telling you...
One minute
From tomorrow onwards, we will only focus on the bank.
Alright?
Okay
What should we do?
Should I go to their headquarters?
In the city?
You want to tag along?
Radha?
What happened, Where are you going?
I have some work.
Work, meaning?
What work?
What happened?
Going to deal with that Uday Prakash,
I think he’s bad news.
I am telling you
No no no
You could just be overthinking this.
I can smell such people out.
Don’t go alone,
Take Hari sir or Bhargav with you.
Hari sir?
If I start explaining to him,
it will take the entire day.
By when you will be back?
That I can’t say but listen
If Hari sir asks, make an excuse on my behalf
And speak to Siddhant and Bhargav
and get my work done, please.
Okay
You take care
I will take care, you too take care
Okay
Oh! Radha ji, you?
Hello!
Hello! You are…?
I know you.
I opened an account in the bank, yesterday.
Oh, aunty.
So many people come to the bank,
I barely remember.
How long ago did he leave?
He just left to catch the bus for Jabalpur,
he did mention he will be back tonight.
Anything urgent?
No, no,
he wanted to open an account,
so I brought over the form. I guess I was late.
I will leave, bye
Well, I do have the keys with me,
I have to feed his fish.
No, since he is not here, what would I do with the keys?
I will leave, okay
Okay
Niyaz?
What are you doing here?
Well.
You must have followed me
here on the orders of grandfather?
He is worried about you.
I don’t have the time.
We need to find this person at the bus stand.
Oh, yes I saw him at the event.
For how long have you been following me?
I will talk about this later.
Let’s go.
park your bike here
Sorry, I’m late.
Radha?
she had to go for something urgent.
When will she be back?
I don’t know, might take her the day.
Why did she leave without telling us?
Bhargav she has requested
Siddhant and you to cover her for today.
We won’t get anything done
If this is the discipline we work with.
I tried calling her but no answer.
Okay, I’m making a new rule.
No one leaves without informing properly
or taking permission.
Calm down Partner.
Must have been something important,
we’ll ask her when she gets back.
Anyway, we have a lot of other things to discuss.
Niyaz
We just need to talk to him, okay?
Okay
Last night Radha had given me the total accounts
that you had asked for.
Take a look
Yes, we have opened a lot of accounts.
But true achievement will be
when there is money in these accounts.
It’s time to press
a big nerve in this country.
We need to approach Baba Ji.
He will take forward our proposition.
He will decide who gives us how much.
Baba ji?
The priest and the beggar
both know you very well.
One knows how deep your pocket is
the other, how big your footprint is.
Similarly,
he will know how much these businessmen have.
Guru ji!
Wow!
I will smack you.
Shit, It’s empty
Oh no
Driver
Yes sir?
Is this the bus for Jabalpur?
Yes
When will it leave?
In 15 minutes
Oh, in 15 minutes?
Yes sir
Great.
Oh no,
The tyre is punctured.
Brother, how much time will it take?
An hour, at least.
Oh man.
Uday Prakash?
Wait a minute
Excuse me,
I need to talk you about something.
You are Uday Prakash?
Yes, and you are?
(singing)
Niyaz,
Did you find him?
Found him, Radha.
You found him?
Yes
Where is he?
In the bathroom.
In the bathroom? Let’s go,
No...
no wait, let’s wait for him here.
I’ve knocked him out.
Niyaz, I told you to not knock him out.
He was trying to run away,
what could I have done?
Come, let’s go now.
What situation are you stuck in?
I don’t have the time to tell you right now.
Okay, let’s take him back to the mansion.
No, I don’t want to grow another tree there.
No, we can’t take him there
Okay, so let’s take him to where I’m staying.
Okay done
Okay
Done
Okay, you get the jeep,
I’ll get him.
Done
Baba ji,
Bless the child
Baba ji,
Mr. Hari Shukla is here
Oh, so you are, Hari.
Yes
All the disciples that come here
talk very highly of you.
How can I help you?
Baba ji,
Blessings from you can work wonders.
We came to seek your blessings.
Blessings are sought before you start something new,
You’re here after it’s over.
Baba ji,
We’ve just started.
We seek blessings of Goddess Laxmi.
What connect do I have with your world?
We just want to have a big prayer,
so the people will believe that Goddess Laxmi
herself has arrived at DVC.
Please don’t mind Baba ji,
here is a small offering towards the institution
We thought we will do so every month from now on.
You prepare for the prayer meet.
I am a journalist, you cannot do this,
the police will catch you.
Leave me
You!
I’ll give you one chance,
tell me what you know.
tell me what you know...
Answer me!
I only answer to two.
God and my conscience,
get it,
scared girl?
Uday prakash doesn’t feel pain.
Hit me
Hello uncle
Hello, here you go
Please sign this form
Mr. Chaubey, let it be, have some tea,
I will fill the form up for you
Now, you will receive an SMS
telling you your account balance.
Understood
and also when you receive the interest
See an SMS has come.
This is in English.
Don’t look at the words look at the numbers.
Understood
Mr. Uday Prakash
Yes?
I have a show for you, want to see?
Show?
What?
Janta!
Janta?!
What a creative name, Janta!
Now you get to decide where your Janta will go.
Back in the bowl or in Niyaz’s stomach
No!
What do you want?
Not a lot,
just tell all that you know about us
And whom have you told.
I can’t tell you that.
No...
You can’t do this
No...
Bastard...
Why are you sitting in the dark like a thief?
Why are you sneaking into the house like a thief?
I can come and go however I want, what is it to you?
I had gone for some work
Radha
You left without telling anyone,
everyone was worried calling you.
It was important.
You can’t ride on two horses,
either you take care of your business or...
No! I didn’t go for my work,
Then, why did you go?
I went to deal with Uday Prakash
Didn’t we tell you to leave him alone.
He would have made another hole in your backside
if I hadn’t dealt with him.
What do you mean?
He was leaving early morning for Jabalpur, to enquire about us.
Had he reached, we all would have been ruined.
What do you mean by had he reached there?
Oh, finally you are here too, hear me out.
So I went to deal with Uday Prakash
because I knew that he would spill the beans
So now we are kidnapping people too?
It’s too late for this math now.
Will it not be suspicious if he does not return?
We can’t do anything tomorrow.
We have kept a prayer meet tomorrow.
What prayer meet?
I’ll tell you later.
We will handle this day after tomorrow.
The neighbour...
What about the neighbour?
I’ll convince his neighbour that he’s going to take a couple more days.
What neighbour...
I will deal with it
One minute
Let’s keep this to ourselves for now
and let things go smoothly tomorrow.
Go to sleep it’s late
What?
Go
HAIL BABA JI
AMEN
HAIL BABA JI
DVC members,
you will be remunerated for the faith you have,
you will receive 15% interest instead of 10.
HAIL BABA JI
Oh no
HAIL BABA JI
Now that you have announced it, we will follow through.
HAIL BABA JI
Do not worry, I will take you ahead on your journey.
Come meet me tomorrow.
HAIL BABA JI
Open your mouth!
If you shut your mouth the money stays,
If you open your mouth,
you lose it all.
I’m a human being,
not a shop.
My silence is not for sale.
You’re right!
I was waiting to see when you would appear.
Come!
Please untie him.
Huh?
It’s okay, untie him
He is our guest.
We don’t treat our guests like this.
He is smart,
he wouldn’t want to be punched again.
It was only a few days ago that our
reporter friend
was burnt alive in his own house for reporting on crimes.
They have just fried your fish.
The thing is,
We’re not the kind of people,
that you think we are
and you aren’t the type to be intimidated.
Mr. Uday Prakash,
DVC is not a bank.
Yes.
So if you’re quiet about this,
you will receive
what you desire the most.
Me?
Me? What do I want?
Fame!
If we get caught now,
It will not make headlines.
But if we escape,
It will be breaking news
and the world will know
that you broke the story.
And if you’re caught then?
It would be even bigger,
Even Baba ji has blessed us.
Baba ji?!
Don’t be surprised,
Think...
You have no idea of the extent that this is going to go to.
Imagine yourself exposing this then.
Let me tell you,
I have no intentions of getting caught
but I do have the intention of getting away
and writing a book.
I will give you credit in my book.
So what do you think?
What will be the name of your book?
Privatization of profit,
Socialization of loss.
What?
Meaning,
Take the name of the lord and pocket all the money.
Right?
Amazing
Do one thing,
Please leave him safely till the bus stand.
Thank you
Tell me one thing,
What point of mine convinced you?
When a man has already thought of the name of the book,
I’m sure he’s going to escape,
I’ll take your leave.
One minute...
Confirmed?
Yes.
take care
Privatization of profit...
Socialization of loss.
Wow Master.
Let’s leave
Yes
Sign here, you’ll get 15% interest
Okay
What’s going on Malti?
The bank people are here.
Bank?
Yes, a new bank has opened in our town.
Yes so?
So after yesterday I thought
I should also open an account.
What happened yesterday?
Yesterday Baba ji promised,
Interest to account holders.
I have heard,
everyone else has already opened their accounts.
Now in a couple of years,
we can also open our own shop.
We’ll take your leave
Well, these are all the accounts that needed to be opened.
The money we have received
is not enough,
All this money will go to Baba ji
for fixing our meeting with
the moneylenders.
After this, our personal funds
will be over too.
We need money to run the house too.
And that Uday Prakash is also showing his true colors.
He’s asking for more money.
That means, everything depends on this meeting.
Yes.
Don’t worry
When the Lord wants to unite people,
sometimes he asks me to be the intermediatory.
Shivam hasn’t come?
Greetings Baba ji,
Brother has apologised for his absence
as he got stuck with something unforeseen
No problem.
When you return, let him know that
his issues will be resolved within a month.
That’s a promise
You all must know by now,
that in our area a bank has opened.
They are all from DVC
and this is their chief officer,
Mr. Hari Shukla.
A big thank you for coming here.
We are all grateful
and we welcome you.
This are my colleagues, from DVC
Bhargav,
Radha
and Raunak
We wanted to propose the idea of opening business accounts for you
and explain the benefits.
We heard the news at home,
I heard
that you’re giving 15% interest.
What will we do with just this much interest?
The workers have smelled progress with your promise of 15% interest
and are now asking for a raise.
We’ve heard you’re offering loans
at a lower interest rate.
Due to this, our money
lending business is now going to suffer.
Well, yes you are right.
The math doesn’t add up.
We can’t tempt you with the idea of interest,
you can make more than that on your own.
So, what is your proposition?
When the demonitization happened
You all lost a lot of your black money,
to avoid it from happening again
Let’s convert black to white
And invest in a new business, it will be profitable
Open accounts with us and with the new financial year,
start using your money elsewhere in legal ways.
All legal
Sins getting washed in Narmada is best.
In my opnion,
It is a sensible proposition.
The rest is up to you.
Converse amongst yourselves and inform me.
I will give your answer to them tomorrow morning.
What should we do?
What do you think of the proposition?
You let us know, we have full faith in your decision.
What should we do?
What was Baba ji saying on the phone?
He called them early morning for an answer.
It has been a while since the three of them have left.
Neither has Bhargav called, nor Ronnie texted back.
In a little while there will be a line of people outside
wanting their money.
If they come back empty handed,
