Forget whatever's happened.

You should move ahead, son.

Father, I may not

come home everyday.

On some days, I might have

to stay back to guard the bus.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

I'll get going.

Ladies and gentlemen.

The Chal Chala Chal

company has been cheated.

What you should all remember. . .

. . .is that, I, the owner of this

bus, am working as a conductor.

The story behind why

and how is very long. . .

. . .so I'll narrate

it some other time.

For now, please bear with me.

Please inform me about

your stops and fares.

Calculate the fares by

yourself and pay me what's. . .

. . .appropriate as I do

not have my calculator.

Don't try to swindle me,

because I'm good with money.

Yes, sir. Where do you want to go?

P.C.

What is P.C.?

Police Constable.

What does that mean?

It means we travel free.

Okay.

Where do you want to go?

P.C.

Hey, how many P.C. s do we have?

How many more P.C. s?

There're seven police

constables in this bus.

We're all on way to our

D.C.P.'s daughter's wedding.

Give them my heartiest complements.

Yes. What about you?

Mahalaxmi.

I'm not asking your name. I

want the name of your stop.

That's the name of the bus stop.

Please read it.

What have you done?

We've done a lot for the

laborers. . . that's our duty.

What issue are you here for?

By the grace of the devil, we

have only issues between us. . .

. . .and time. It's

the police complaint.

You were duped by your own man.

So why did you file

your complaint against me?

I'm the one who

should be complaining.

After all, I'm the

one who lost money.

What're you up to?

What's the logic behind this?

What are your

principals behind this stunt?

But don't forget. I'm not

going to spare anyone for this.

But right now it's not in your

interest to open your mouth.

The police complaint is against you.

You've caused considerable

mental stress to a laborer. . .

. . .by falsely

accusing him and firing him.

It's not a small issue.

Hey, hey! It's all lies.

But this is what the

police complaint says.

That's why you're the first

one to be suspected of foul play.

Do you think scribbling

anything on a piece of paper. . .

. . .will make it gospel truth?

But its validity is affirmed. . .

. . .when you register it in

front of a police officer.

That's the law. Understood?

Sure, you could've

complained before I did.

But you lost that opportunity.

So now. . . watch your every step. . .

. . .and every word that

comes out of your mouth.

From this moment on. . .

. . .you're the one who needs

to watch out, Mr. Singh.

Law is not a child's race. . .

. . .where the winner is

rewarded with some sort of trophy.

And you better stop

playing these twisted tricks. . .

. . .under the pretext of the law.

Because the truth gets by

the most deceitful barriers.

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry,

my brakes have failed.

Shut up!

Do you think you're flying a rocket?

You could've killed me.

Why didn't I?

What?

Why didn't the brakes work on time?

But why were you standing

like the Statue of Libertine. . .

. . .in the middle of the road?

It's Statue of Liberty!

Yes, yes, it's the same thing.

But I'm the one who has

to go to America, not you.

Will you be going

to America in a bus?

I'll go on a cycle.

What's the trouble? Why would you

stand in the middle of the road?

Hey, this is my job.

The other day, during the carnival,

I stood at the roadside. . .

. . .and I signaled

you to stop the bus.

We never pay attention

to roadside signaling.

We're civilized people.

What?

Hey! Why didn't you stop the bus?

I didn't stop the bus. . .

. . .because my boss didn't want me to.

Tell me something.

There were many passengers. . .

. . .who were stranded in the heat.

How could we leave them stranded. . .

. . .and serve you?

That means the bus was overloaded.

Rule No. 1 13, Section K, broken.

When your bus was being

refueled at the petrol pump. . .

Is it a crime?

Yes. It's a crime.

It's a crime to have a bus

full of passengers. Understood?

Listen, brother. . .

Rule No.93, Section P, broken.

Please listen to me.

Hey!

Oh, I forgot that you're

never my brother-in-law. . .

. . .when you're on duty.

So whoever you are at this time. . .

. . .stop with your

deliberate nitpicking.

We changed all the tyres of

our bus, because you asked us to.

We also carry

insecticide in the first aid box.

We've improved our timetable,

let alone the bus.

We don't waste

money on petty issues.

Spare this two in one from

your pointless pestering.

Do you understand the

meaning of two in one?

Owner and conductor.

Oh, really?

Conductor without a badge.

Conductor without uniform.

Section 90 broken.

These darn sections. . .

Section 90 broken !

This guy seriously needs

to be thrashed to hell.

He thinks we are a bunch of idiots.

I really need to break his bones. . .

Are you out of your mind? He's

my brother-in-law. Let's go.

Where's the wiper?

Your viper's here.

Do you know what wiper means?

Yes. A dangerous

and poisonous snake.

Driver. . . wiper?

They're there, sir.

They're all there.

Is it a moonwalker or is it lame?

Why do you care

about its dance moves?

It's not even the monsoons.

Then why are you so hung

over this wiper thing? Tell me.

We have two wipers.

One of them is rusted

and the other's crooked.

What's your problem with the wiper?

I understood.

Rule No.65, Section O, broken.

I want the wipers right now.

Why? Are you that hungry?

Shut up!

I will charge you.

Hey Basantilal, go get the wipers. . .

. . .and attach it to

his spectacle frames.

So that he can see

everything crystal clear.

Listen, you. You've

insulted me personally.

That's impossible.

You're never personal

during your professional hour.

Then how can you be

insulted personally?

I'll fine you !

Fine. Fine us or lock us up.

Do you want us to be on the streets?

Because we are. . . not

ready to take to the streets.

You can play with all the

sections you want to, okay? okay?

Darn it. He's the same guy.

The don't show your face again guy.

So what?

Can you trust him?

It shouldn't be like you

want him to sew a trouser. . .

. . .but he stitches a pyjama instead.

We have no one else to

go to than this ape.

His hands tremble. . .

. . .therefore, he has

very few customers. . .

. . .and he'll stitch

our uniforms quickly.

Get it?

Sure I do.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Are you here to get your

undergarments stitched?

Undergarments?

Only an undergarment can

be stitched in half an hour.

Half an hour?

Great.

All he can stitch

is filthy comments.

What?

It's nothing.

We want you to stitch

a conductor's uniform.

We'll pay for it you get the

cloth and have it stitched as well.

What about the measurements?

I've brought

sample clothes for that.

Urgent?

Yes. Within half an hour.

You expect me to buy the material,

cut it and stitch it. . .

. . .within half an hour?

Yes.

Within half an hour?

I can't do it. You better
