ask about my children.
Move your bus your causing a jam.
How do I move it? It's in neutral.
Put it in the
first gear and get out.
But. . .
You see, Sir. The mouse
nibbled my friend's passport.
So why should the public suffer?
Move your bus.
What can I do about it?
He's going to have him killed.
Who? The mouse?
No, my friend.
Why are talking about
your friend. Move your bus.
I can move when he gets back.
He ran away with the gear lever.
Sundar
Don't call me that!
Sundar Don't flatter
me by calling me handsome.
The whole world knows that I am.
Who says that?
My mother says it.
Whatever, it's too hot.
You'll get a tan.
Have a seat. I'll go call Sundar.
Where did it go?
Leave me alone.
Are you mad?
Yes. I won't be at peace
until I kill that mouse.
He's shattered my dreams.
There is a traffic jam.
The inspector is very angry.
Give me the gear lever.
I want to crush the
liver of that mouse.
The inspector will
crush my liver. Leave it.
How long will you run?
Move! Move!
Who is this?
This is Sundar!
You call this ape handsome.
Get in the bus. Come on.
Where are you going?
I said file. What have you brought?
These are applications
from drivers and conductors.
Don't you think these are a lot
of applicants for just two posts?
It's proportionate to the
population of our country.
Proportion.
Exactly.
It's difficult to select just two.
It's simple, it's easy.
We will give work to the
one who gives us Rs. 10,000.
No money. No work.
If employees have to pay
bribe their employers. . .
They won't work hard.
A company runs efficiently
on hard work and sincerity.
You're way ahead of yourself.
Stop, stop. It's not a bribe.
It's a deposit.
Is that so?
Poor people are being exploited.
Their mills are
demolished and pubs are built.
Shops on the street
are being demolished. . .
. . .and hoardings are put up.
Huts are demolished to
clear land for tall buildings.
After all they sacrifice,
who knows. . .
. . .if they receive
worthy compensation.
Because you have
committed a big mistake. . .
. . .by being born here.
We all do it. It's how we
conduct business traditionally.
Traditionally?
That's what I said.
I want to expand my business.
Your brother-in-law has come.
He will expand the business.
Grand launch I see.
Good. Very good.
I'd like to offer advice
however you may find it useless.
No, that isn't true. Go ahead.
Listen to me.
Look, you don't have any
experience in this business.
So I have two
experienced candidates a. . .
. . .driver and a conductor.
Appoint the both of them.
What happened to him?
He just lost Rs.20,000.
Who are these people?
He has 20 years experience,
driving on desert roads
He's even worked in the army.
He's got sharp eyes and strong arms.
Real smooth on the steering wheel.
That's the driver.
Basantilal.
Honest. Great with accounts.
Punctual and trustworthy.

His father is a peon in the school.
Your father taught him math.
He has a nice name.

after the office work. . .

Great! Great!
Go on. Form a queue.
Wow! For its first day the

So many formalities for one ticket.
I am not issuing a ticket. I
am offering her a concession.
Show me your ID card.
Concession?
You think you are the
government of India?
Don't compete with our leaders.
They lead a luxurious life.
We have to make ends meet.
Leadership is of no use to us.
We just conduct business.
That's what I'm doing.
Every big business
offers concessions.
Yes.
We have to offer concession. . .
. . .to people who make
our country proud.
Students, senior citizens,
military officers, navy officers.
In a year we will earn a
hundred million from the bus.
That's what you said. I was insane.
You.
Yes, me.
Concession will ruin our business.
Stop this right now. Leave.
There are many people in the queue.
They will trash us.
Have you brought your ID card?
No. I'm an apprentice
in a printing press.
Look, madam. My boss
is very kind hearted.
Don't take advantage of him.
You're not a student. You
don't qualify for a concession.
Quickly out with the money.
Please. Please.
But I am learning printing work.

I can see that.
What are you looking at?
Sundar!
She doesn't understand.
Shut up!
I didn't tell you. I spoke
to him. His name is Sundar.
So why did you look at me?
First I looked at him
and then I looked at you.
Before that I was talking to you.
You dare yell at me.
Great you've opened my eyes.
Now I won't look at you.
Now leave. No student.
No concession.
Leave! Leave! Leave!
Don't shout. Your boss
started a new scheme.
That's why I came. I
didn't come here to beg.
People who become rich
overnight become proud.
What childishness is this?
They're hard working. Come on. Come.
Get me some tea.
I will get my money
then pay your fare.
Wait for two minutes.
Basantilal.
Yes.
How much did you earn today?
The bus was crowded. . .
. . .but with old men,
