of my politeness!

I'm a cop, I'll give you the

thrashing of a lifetime.

Hang up now!

You can go wherever you want..

..but you can't escape my radar.

And I'll replace the batteries

every three months.

Here you go, Mr. Bradman.

I've fitted a GPS on you.

His hair was short.

Just like Kabir.

He looked angry.

Just like Kabir.

Body..

Mention my name again and I'll

deport you to India via cargo.

Before you deport me..

..make sure to return my heart.

What about the sketch?

Sorry, I got distracted.

- Where was I?

- What about the eyes?

His eyes had pain or mischief..

Just can't tell.

But they were a deep black.

Don't stare like that.

I feel shy.

Don't laugh, I feel disgusted.

I'm sleepy, can we finish the sketch?

I'm hungry.

I can't think on an empty stomach.

Can I get something, please?

How about a slap? They're quite nice here.

Your hatred..

..is very sexy.

This sketch can never be completed.

The girl's very cunning.

She's conning everybody.

Nobody looks like this.

If the final's cancelled, I'll kill him.

It's just a matter of 36 hours.

- Let him stay here.

- Why are we watching it again?

Now we'll hear the cleaned audio

track, without the voice.

- What do you hear?

- A drizzle?

It doesn't rain here, must be a leakage.

Check if it rained in the nearby

regions in the last 24 hours.

If the villagers from 'Lagaan'

movie had this weather app..

..then they wouldn't have

sung to the clouds everyday.

If they could afford an Ipad..

..they'd have paid the tax.

And not played cricket to meet their needs.

That reminds me, you're getting distracted.

Please focus.

C'mon, make it rain. Make it rain.

It rained in Al Jabal.

We can't ignore it.

This is our best lead, sir.

Get a list of schools and

buildings in the rain-hit areas.

Sir!

Hussain, you head to the

Islamic education school.

Yes, sir.

I'll go to the Medical

District and you both..

..head towards Al Jabal park with Saeed.

Sir!

Saeed, did you find them?

Viraj isn't here.

But his kidnapper is still in this park.

Rashid.

This camera was found in the

garbage outside Al Jabal park.

Check it.

- Where's Viraj?

- I don't know.

What did you do to Viraj?

Kabir, you have to see this.

This video is for Gulf and India.. no..

This video..

India..

This video is for the governments

of India and the Gulf States..

..for the administration..

This video is for..

..administration in India and the Gulf.

Since you don't know me,

consider me a Shahid Afridi fan.

Shahid Afridi.. Imran Khan..

Imran Khan.. Javed Miandad.. Inza.. no.

Pakistan.. yes, just consider me a fan.

This is for the governments

of India and the Gulf states.

Since you don't know me,

just consider me a fan.

Damn, I forgot my lines!

Sorry, sir. Last take.

The way you fumble with

your lines in an audition..

- How will you become an actor?

- No, sir, actually..

..I've performed lead roles on stage.

I just get a little jittery in

front of the camera. Sorry.

If you want this role, you'll

have to give it your best.

People should feel afraid

of your character.

That's the problem, sir. I've only

done positive characters till date.

That's why, sir..

..I'm finding it a bit difficult

to get into the groove.

We don't have much time.

Understood, sir. Watch now.

Ready, sir.

Pakistan.. Pakistan..

Pakistan.. Pakistan..

He's a struggling actor.

Thought it was an audition.

The video was made to mislead us.

So that, by the time we nab him..

..they're already far away.

It's ok.

Sir, I..

Thank you.

12 hours ago, we atleast had a face.

Now we've to chase this mask.

It's him!

He auditioned me, then beat me up..

..and locked me up in that room.

The girl's very cunning.

She's conning everybody.

Nobody looks like this.

Can you please smoke outside?

Bloody bch!

Bloody bch..?

Hey, watch your language!

That man abused you in Pashto, not me.

Bloody bch.

Which are the Pashtun dominated areas here?

Very few.

Pashtuns usually come from

across the border to work here.

But I don't understand..

..why a Pashtun man would pose as

a Pakistani to kidnap an Indian?

I don't know why, but when..

..is gradually becoming clearer.

Wanna come for her birthday party?

We've to kill it in the finals this time.

Just be careful with your hook shot.

Sure.

I'm good.

Viraj, I'll just use the

loo, then we can leave.

Cool, I'll wait near the car.

Hey Viraj! Big fan.

- Can I get a selfie?

- Sure.

Answer it, Sharma.

How long will you ignore it?

Answer it.

Viraj, a car will stop by in ten seconds.

Get in quietly.

We need to talk.

Who are you?

Phone.

For you..

This is going to be another one

of those Viraj Sharma specials.

Oh yes! What a shot, what a player!

Whenever I see you play..

..my heart wells up.

But my pockets get emptied.

Neither did you answer my phone,

nor reply to my messages.

I mean..

Like every modern love story, we too..

..have a one-sided affair.

Who are you?

Afridi is lovingly called Lala.

Dravid is Jammy and Ganguly is Dada..

Pet names are the norm in my business too.

The name's Wagah.

Just like the border, I'm neither

India's, nor Pakistan's.

The player who turns the tables..

..makes it to my hit list.

- What do you want from me?

- Your form, Viraj.

Your form.

In the first match, you

scored 86 against Pakistan.

Then 124 against Bangladesh.

And now, 94 not out in the semi-finals.

Viraj, whenever you punish the bowlers..

..I bear the brunt of it.

And whenever you win a losing game..

..I'm the one who is betrayed.

I'm down by 450 crores because of you.

You want something?

Protein shake, energy bar..

It's all there for you.

Because you have to slog

hard for the finals.

You just have to play 25 overs.

But while you're at the crease..

..the run rate has to be below five..

..and get two of the top batsmen in

your team dismissed by run outs.

Viraj, your image is so clean

that nobody would even doubt it.

Though the people worship you..

..you just need to act

human for this one game.

Let's get down to business.

What was your fee in the last season?

15 crores.

15 crores, right? I'll

double it in one game.

One crore per over. 25

crores for playing 25 overs.

And five crores for getting

out in the 26th over.

That's thirty.

I'll charge atleast fifty

for not scoring a century.

Whenever I tried to fall in love with you..

..you hiked up your rates.

25 before the match and 25 after the match.

I just shook your hand..

..but you turned it into a hug.

Done.

What's the guarantee that you'll pay?

Buddy, the only thing that's

respected in my business..

..is one's word.

Once given, I'll not turn back.

Sounds good.

Atleast, open my eyes now.

I want to see you.

You're getting too romantic, buddy.

We shouldn't get so

intimate on the first date.

I've laid hands on a big player after ages.

And I'm sure we'll be working

together a lot in future.

In time..

..you'll see my face too.

Take the lift. You'll get a cab outside.
