Everyone wants

money after all.

Ivlahendra finishes off in style.

India wins the 2011 World Cup.

And it's a Indian captain who

has been absolutely magnificient.

Another captain..another

World Cup.

It's been 8 years..but there's

been no progress in my case.

Since you got what you

vvanted..you decided to keep quiet.

You see Ms.

Ivleera, I can't eact|y..

..pry open my chest

like Hanuman and prove..

..|'ve nothing to hide.

Everything's right before you.

I already said what I had to.

There's nothing more

I want to say now.

There's still one match

no one's spoken about.

31 st October, 1996

India Vs West Indies,

What happened in that match?

Did you try getting

a job with the Crime Branch?

No..you would've gotten the job.

What made you become a lawyer?

Tell me..what do you

know about that match?

The vvhole world knows

about that match.

We had few balls,

and needed more runs.

It was time to attack,

and not play defense.

I can understand

tension in a game.

I held my ground..alone.

Everyone e|se..came and left.

Ivlanoj was only playing

to score his century.

Azhar, he's only

playing for himself.

Be careful out there.

You know what, Tony.

It hurts.

Feeling really sad

for Ivlanoj right now.

Anyone else would've

retired hurt, and back to pavilion.

But he stood his ground.

He sent all his team-mates

back to the pavilion.

..but stood his ground.

All he cared about was

raising his bat in the air..

..after completing his century.

Even if it meant

shaming the entire team.

He's playing so selfishly.

I wasn't making the

century for myself.

I was doing it for the team.

I admit I was playing s|ow..

but, we had already lost the game.

In fact,

I saved my team's honor that day.

I thought I'll get

a pat on the back, but.

You made us lose a winning game.

Leave my collar.

I had instructions to play slow.

I did as I was told.

No sane captain will ever say..

"Forget the team,

and complete your century first."

Are you sure..you were given

instructions not to save the match.

Of course.

That day I realizectsomething

was definately wrong.

They were playing a game

other than cricket.

But everyone came after me.

They blamed me for everything.

Not only did he play badly.

..but he blamed the coach and me..

..c|aiming that we

told him to play slowly.

Tortoisesnonly win in stories,

not in real life.

We dropped him

from the net match.

And it's a lovely drive

through covers for a four.

India placed a huge total.

Let's see if West

indies can chase this.

You know, Ravi, West Indies

have some pretty good hookers.

Yeah?

Brian slashes at the ball,

and what an amazing catch by Azhar.

This man can field in any position.

India are the champions.

And the Ivlan of the Match is

none other than the captain Azhar.

Can you tell me little

bit about the strategy?

We batted vvell,

bowled well and..fielded well.

He dropped me out of the

team..didn't let me play the match.

But, that wasn't enough for them.

Quiet!

I thought of you as my brothers.

They fired a rocket at me.

I made up my mind..

to expose this entire racket.

I see you're doing that already.

Anyway, thank you Ivlanoj.

This has been really helpful.

Don't you think/this

case is taking too |ong..

..|ike Ramayan or Ivlahabharat?

No..| mean, hovv much longer?

Soon. I am trying my best.

Are you going to put up

an exhibition of the evidence?

I performed the sting

operation 11 years ago.

..so that everyone who's guilty,

gets punished.

And I get the credit.

..as the guy who exposed everyone.

But what happened?

Neither did they get punished,

nor did I get any credit.

You will.

- But.

Even I have a |ife..

- What do you think?

Are you the only

one who wasted his life?

I've spent 8 years

of my life on this case.

Been married for 3 years.

And have been telling my husband

for the past 2 years.

..that once the case ends

we'll finally go for our honeymoon.

Look..

- You made the allegations.

But we're the ones who

have to prove them.

And yes..you must

have a lot of buddies.

But I am not one of them.

A~

We now clearly know who the

brain behind all this is.

But I can't defend this case.

What's wrong with you suddenly?

I don't want to waste

ours or the court's time.

..by defending this hopeless case.

Our strongest witness

is your biggest weakness.

I've told you 100 times,

I can't bring Sangeeta to the court.

Why? Why not?

She's the reason you're

in this situation.

You're crossing your limits.

Not me, the pub|ic's saying this.

The country's saying this.

An innocent Hyderabad boy

sold himself out for a heroine.

Imported cars,

designer c|othes..hi-fi lifestyle.

I've worked hard for all of it.

I represent India,

so what's wrong in looking good.

You used to represent India.

Used to.

And the reason

behind that is Sangeeta!

She set you on this path.

Sangeeta has nothing

to do with this case.

She's suffered more than I have.

Everything was

going good between us.

But, whether it's cricket or |ove..

..if the timings not right,

nothings right.

What gorgeous girls.

If you get in this mess it

will ruin your game and concentration.

Ajju, it's nothing like that.

Do you know the kind

of willpower it takes.

..to not look at a beautiful girl?

Hovv about we..blindfold ourselves?

Do it. At least then

you might score a century.

Go ahead, mock me all you want.

Ravi isn't in form right now.

But Ravi is into some

other kind of form right now.

Fine..then let's go

for our physio-therapy.

Where are you going? It's my booking.

- I'll tell you.

Today's physio-therapy..is

going to be 70mm wide.

A Bollywood heroine's here.

You'll get a whacking in 3D

Don't forget,

your wife's here too.

My innocent friend, according to my

wife I am with you in physio-therapy.

I won't lie for you.

You have to do these

things for friends sometimes.

She looks hotter in real life.

You guys can't even tell the

difference between real and fake.

See that, net to her.

That's real beauty.

You're absolutely right, Ajju.

The real beauty is in a sari.

Not like her.

Now bend your knee a little more.

Keep doing it, good..

Ravi.

Ravi isn't here?

Ravi. - Sister-in-law.

Ravi's right here,

he's getting a massage.

Fine, but why isn't he answering?

Tell me the truth,

or else I am coming in. - No, no.

Don't come in,

ladies aren't allowed in here.

And we aren't wearing anything.

But why isn't he answering?

Sister-in-law,

he's lying on his stomach.

With his face in the pillow.

He can't talk.

Any message.

- Look. I am coming inside.

He can tell me in gestures

hovv long he's going to take.

Yeah..yeah..

just a second.

Ravi, sister-in-law

is asking something.

Sister-in-law,

he's showing 5 fingers..3 times.

15 minutes. In the lobby.

Please tell him, Azhar.

If he doesn't show

up in 15 minutes.

..then I won't care for anyone,

even you.

No more knocking, I'll barge

right in. - Yes, sister-in-lavv.
