But my mother...
risked her life to keep me alive.
Seher?
Champa.
What happened?
What happened, Seher?
I want to save that child.
Your arm is bleeding a lot!
Come with me to the doctor.
Come on.
He will ask a lot of questions.
Oh, no one will ask anything.
There is a doctor.
He is like a messiah.
He will not ask questions. Let's go.
Come with me.
Come, carefully.
I got you.
Come.
Welcome to the mess! If Babu Rao doesn't get the girl back, you know right...
You shut up!
-Let me think. -Why are you yelling at me?
The girl who was trying to rescue her, we haven't even seen her face.
Her face? Why, do you want to frame it?
Let's think.
If Akram bhai comes to know...
we are done for!
He will do it anyway.
Damn it, my brain is not working.
Your brain won't work right now!
It was doing a lot of work before!
Doctor Anand?
Doctor Anand? Here...
This is Seher.
Please get up.
Bhai, Satpute Sir has come.
Yes yes.
Send him in.
-Greetings! -Greetings, come sit, Satpute.
Your favourite.
Betel leaf with slaked lime and clove, flavoured just the way you like it.
-Thank you. -Hanging, bro, it's hanging!
Your stomach. Sitting on the chair so much gave you a pot belly!
That's why I came out for a walk.
Thought it'll be good to...
meet Qadir bhai now.
Boot-licking.
Remember, Satpute, a boot-licker is always ready to pounce with a hidden knife.
What do you need?
The shootout that Akram and Babu's men did in the lanes...
the police got to know about it.
So shut your ears.
That was not the first time in the neighborhood, was it?
No, but...
Fortunately nobody died.
Just... ask to tighten the leash on their men a bit, no?
Really?
You will take your cut and threaten too?
Wow.
Actually...
sometimes I am answerable to the higher authorities no, Bhai?
Akram?
Done.
Do you have pain?
No, just weakness.
She lost a lot of blood, that's why.
Lie down for a while.
Is that the piece of the bullet?
Give it to me.
Don't ignore, Doctor.
Slowly.
Who is calling?
Oh dear Lord!
Yes, Akram Bhai.
Dude, dad called a meeting at home, come back soon.
Called for us?
Yes, you two as well. Why? Why does that bother you so much?
Actually...
Qadir Bhai called right?
That's why.
You guys took care of her, right?
Actually, Bhai...
What did you rascals do?
Where is she?
You scoundrels!
Just wait!
What is it?
Where is Champa?
Are you feeling better?
You can fix it all?
I try.
Can you heal your friend too, Doctor?
You do know what happened to her, don't you?
I explained a thousand times to you girls.
I understand that
this is their job.
But in one night...
...thirty.
Forty customers.
How long can you escape such diseases?
But you can cure, can't you?
She told me that
you are a messiah.
God left this place years ago.
What can a mere messiah do?
What?
What is your problem?
As everyone started calling you "Akram Bhai", you got ego now?
Hey, his boys fired first.
Who betrayed first?
What betrayal? I did not kidnap any girl.
Girl? Come here?
Sit here.
-Don't be afraid, come here. -Go sit.
Look at him. Do you know him?
Hmm.
Do you have an answer for her panic?
She is acting! That fellow must have taught her how to pretend!
He has nothing else to do. Just keeps trying to find a chance to demean me.
For that, have some dignity first.
Look at him blabbering in my house...
He is taunting you in your own home!
In front of me.
Because he has earned that right.
-And I haven't achieved anything? -No!
If you love him so much, then give him your throne.
As if I will pass on my throne upon your discretion.
Whoever earns the right will sit here.
Auction is over.
You have won.
-Thank you! -The topper.
Name your reward.
Bhai, I had told you...
I have to go to Bangkok.
Sure, go ahead.
What do you mean? Are you going to send him to Bangkok?
What is it to you? You take your leave!
-Yes, I will leave... -Get out!
He is talking a lot these days! Gafoor, see to it that he doesn't, or else...
-[Akram yells angrily] -Shut up, you shut up!
Too much audacity, rascal!
Hmm.
Greetings, Bhai.
Have fun.
Thank you, Bhai.
Keep sending photos.
Of course, Bhai.
Bhai, Bhai no!
Sorry, Bhai, no, please. Bhai, I will die, please no!
Because of you, Babu Rao indignified me today!
Bhai, Bhai, please... no, it was a mistake, Bhai. Bhai!
You rascal.
You could've prevented this!
Bhai, enough.
I will hit you too!
Why did I send you along?
You couldn't stop him?
You guys went to Shetty even after I said no.
Bhai, we did not go to Shetty.
A girl came out of nowhere.
What girl, you idiot?
Didn't see her face as it was dark.
She got shot in the shoulder. Babu Rao's men shot her.
I was there, Bhai. I saw it too.
Even after winning, I lost to Babu Rao!
-Bhai, no no. -Bring her to me, fast!
-Go, get lost. -Yes, Bhai.
Sorry, Bhai. Let's go.
You found her?
Searched a lot but could not find her anywhere.
If you don't find those two and bring them in front of me,
I will finish you. Heed my warning!
Stop stop, stop the vehicle.
Check it, come on.
Get out of here, leave.
Stop stop.
Stop.
Get in.
I can hear something above.
Hey, noises coming from the roof. Check there, check there.
Found her.
Mother!
Move away.
Any girl came here to get bandaged?
Bhai, I don't know who you're talking about.
A girl was shot in the shoulder.
Came to you or not?
Bhai, I don't get involved in these things.
But there is one man who can do this.
Okay, here you are.
Any girl came here to get bandaged?
Where is she?
A girl?
Yes, a girl. Come, let's look.
-Come come. -No no, there is nobody.
-Really? Who is here then? - No, there is no one.
Yeah alright, we will see.
Hey where are you going?
I am telling you, there is nobody.
-You wait. -Bhai?
Oh look at that.
You just said that there is no one, Doctor.
Bhai, nobody is there.
What's up, Doctor?
Got shocked to hear about a 'girl.' Who is this?
Bhai?
-Don't touch, Bhai. -Why?
This is the one with AIDS.
Who was with Habiba.
Oh God!
But what if she is the one?
You can check.
This disease does not infect you by touch.
I know that, Shabana Azmi taught that. You stop lecturing.
You check her.
Bhai, no, not me.
You moron!
You! Show your arm.
Carefully!
Yeah yeah.
Listen. If anyone comes with a bullet wound, you let me know.
Got it, you drunkard?
Come on.
Seher? Where is she?
Don't know.
I thought that she is in that room but...
Seher?
Where were you?
Outside.
If I hadn't gone there...
you know...
would've been dead today.
Come on, get down.
-Come on. -Leave!
-Get off!
Why did you bring her here?
I have just cleaned the house.
Roopa.
I just did the puja and she?
Your buffalo died in the shed, right?
So the place is empty right?
Come on!
Your first time in Bangkok, right?
Yes. Look, look, these are the places.
All these places.
Take me to these.
What an item in that car!
Hey, honk and go okay?
-You know Ivy? -No, I don't.
Okay, not this one. Now take me to the second place.
This one, this.
Hey you, look here.
Hello, greetings!
You know Ivy?
No no.
No cigarettes.
You're not allowing me a cigarette. I'll have to light the pen and smoke it.
Yeah?
-Greetings! -You know Ivy?
Ah. No, I don't.
If you have pain,
take it only at that time.
Got it?
And you don't take this.
Why would I take?
Thank you, Doctor.
Wait a minute.
Um...
Wear this.
The wound will be hidden.
If Gafoor, Parshu, or his men are roaming outside...
Wow, Doctor.
Along with healing my wound,
you also treated the danger I was in.
Thank you.
Sure.
What do you think, huh?
By hiding this wound,
you can remain hidden?
It's not as if Gafoor has seen my face.
And don't worry.
Now the wound will heal within a week.
Then how will he find me?
He is Qadir's nephew.
So?
This entire slum
is under his control.
My mother's blessing is with me.
Don't be crazy!
Go back to the village.
Nobody is waiting there to welcome me with garlands.
What do you mean?
A well ahead
and a trench behind.
But if I take that jump...
it will not be to fall.
I will fly up.
Until I earn enough money
to bring my mother to this city and give her a comfortable life,
I'm not going anywhere.
Hurting another person does not reduce one's own suffering.
What?
Causing pain of another person does not reduce one's own pain.
Hey, why is he in the business if he cannot bear that?
Hey Akram.
Angry with someone.
But punishing someone else.
Are you a man?
Or a woman?
Your father...
only likes competence.
Of course you will take his side.
I only take the side of money.
You are wasting so much time trying to pull Babu Rao down.
Lift yourself up instead!
Then he will go down just like that.
When you've hit rock bottom,
everybody lectures you.
Akram, is there no such place
where people don't know Babu Rao?
Why don't you get girls from there?
Last place.
Okay?
This.
Drive fast.
Oh my, look at that!
-Come with me? -No touching.
-I brought money to spend... -No touching.
I'll go to some other club.
-What happened? -This...
Fellow is telling me, "no touching." Why can't I? I have money.
-Okay okay. -I'll go to some other place.
Okay, Sir.
Please sit. Do you want a good girl?
Tie him up!
Get me an item, not here to burst crackers.
Hi, I am Ivy.
Babu Rao.
Have a drink, relax.
Select any girl.
Any girl?
You don't like Babu?
Don't break my heart, doll.
One stubborn man.
I didn't understand what you said in English.
Must be saying something good.
I said...
"Stubborn."
You know Hindi?
A little bit.
Now Babu wants only you.
You come.
Or I go.
Let's go.
I'll go and give this.
Come, I'll get you a meal.
Hey, wait.
What is this, Champa? Here again for free food?
Hey no. My sister has come from the village.
Oh, so your entire family likes eating for free.
Are you paying from your pocket?
Hey Sattar Bhai, how many times would she...
What is this 'how many times...'?
Getting added to my account, right?
Why is your stomach hurting?
Asking for the loaf over there. Go attend.
Yes, okay.
-Hungry? -Yes!
So hungry that your whole month's salary will be spent in one day.
Okay enough, enough. Come sit down.
Come on.
Add it to my account.
Listen carefully, everyone.
Check the arm of every girl in Kamathipura.
Whoever got a bullet wound,
bring her to Akram Bhai.
Brother, which brother arm should we check? The left or right?
Hey, do you take half the salary?
Check both.
Understood.
I have a doubt.
What if she's not from here?
Bring her from any corner of the world but bring her!
If you can't find her, bring any girl and shoot her on the arm.
I will present her to Akram Bhai and claim that this is her.
Otherwise he will kill me!
Speak of the devil.
God help me.
Yes, Bhai.
Okay, Bhai.
Bhai called.
What are you doing still standing here?
Go get out.
Leave, man!
-Seher? -Hmm?
What is causing you so much pain...
Why are you walking around hanging that around your neck?
It will remind me of that Raju's deeds.
Here you go, food.
What happened?
Your city got me in big trouble.
Now I am a Mumbai girl.
That Raju Bhai pulled you from the stage...
Did he do this?
You're in the wrong business. You should be a police.
She did not mess with just Raju.
Hmm?
Gafoor is also looking for her.
What was the need?
To help that girl?
That little girl!
Could she have tolerated it?
But what is that little girl to you?
What are we to you?
Still feeding us, aren't you?
So you like it?
Hmm.
All men say that I shouldn't talk after sex.
Talking?
What do you want to talk about with me?
Only if you want.
Come, then.
To Mumbai, with me.
Did you fall in love with me?
Loving.
Falling for someone.
Being crazy about someone...
These are all nonsense things.
These are just excuses for
getting intimate for free.
Nothing else.
Yes.
I don't want you as a life partner,
but as a business partner.
What?
I would've explained everything to you.
First...
Your boss Chao?
Introduce her to me.
All this was your plan?
Fix a meeting.
With Chao.
Not easy.
-Hmm? -Impossible.
Hmm.
But you said right?
That I'm very stubborn.
Right?
Don't worry.
Fix a meeting, okay?
What happened about that girl?
Bhai, my boys are looking for her.
It's a work-in-progress.
Work-in-progress?
Do you work in the municipality?
Babu Rao's reach stretches all across India.
So we too have to stretch our legs. Got it?
So what to do, Bhai?
You used to know that fellow from Dholpur, right?
-Uh, Balli? -Yes, him.
Are you in touch with him?
Yes, Bhai. We call each other from time to time on our birthdays.
Really?
Come on, call him.
And ask him to fix a meeting with his Nepali supplier.
Why Nepal, Bhai?
Dude, Delhi is cashing in on Nepali girls.
Are we idiots, that we should stay behind?
That is a great idea, Bhai!
I will call him today itself.
Have you ever call auntie to wish her on her birthday, huh?
Is Balli your pet or what?
Father?
They are very happy to see you.
There is someone at least!
Have you come to complain wearing nice clothes?
I have come to talk about business.
I thought about the Nepali girls.
If I bring some,
they will fetch a good price here.
The taste of people here have not changed.
If we don't try it, how will we know?
What if we incur a loss?
If Babu Rao had proposed this,
would you have asked him this question?
If you want to earn your dignity, son,
stop spending anger as the main commodity.
Oh I didn't do this in anger or jealousy.
I thought this through.
And if there is a loss,
take five of my fingers.
How can you even say such things?
What a generation!
Oh God. Oh my Lord.
Listen to my prayers.
Help my child.
Take a box, take a box.
Listen.
Please take me to Resham Bai.
What?
If I earn two pennies, I will be able to give it to you.
At least you will be able to live well.
Live well?
I don't even know...
how long I will live.
I will hit you if you speak such nonsense.
And listen.
As long as I am here,
I will not let anything happen to you.
Tell me.
Look, Seher.
Once she takes a girl in the auction, that's it for Resham Bai.
After that,
she does not even look at anyone.
But she has seen me.
And that day...
she saw me well, I'm telling you.
I'm sure that she would've bought me that day if not for that mess.
Just take me to her once.
See.
My reach is not that high.
But for you,
I will definitely try.
