Amal Page #4

Synopsis: Autorickshaw driver Amal is content with the small, but vital, role he serves - driving customers around New Delhi as quickly and safely as possible. But his sense of duty is tested by an eccentric, aging billionaire, who, moved by Amal's humility, bequeaths him his entire estate before passing away. With only one month to discover and claim the inheritance, Amal's struggles with duty and wealth are threatened by all those around him - from a young injured beggar girl and a lovely store merchant, to the danger of the old man's upper-caste friends and siblings, all seeking to claim their share of the riches.

Take your time.

Look...

whatever we talk about is just between us.

We'll need you to sign some papers.

Hmm?

Your autograph.

Do you have any family?

What is it?

One second.

No. Suresh Gupta...

I haven't seen him in days.

No, we spoke on the phone last night.

Hold one second.

It's important.

Uh, give me one minute, okay?

Take him to the living room.

Get him some chai.

I'll be right there.

No, you keep it.

It's yours.

Have a seat.

I'll get your chai.

Amal, everything okay?

Yes, sir.

You'll pick up Kunal on Monday?

Yes, sir.

Please tell Madam I'll see her then.

I have to run.

Sure.

See you.

Spare some change.

I have pencils,

but I'm out of paper.

Stop! Stop!

Hey, what's wrong?

That autorickshaw driver gave me this paper.

But there's something written on it.

You think it's something important?

What difference does it make?

Amal can't read.

Where's Amal?
