The deal's locked.

Atleast drop me at the hotel.

I only do as much as I'm told.

Here's the token amount.

Excuse me.

Police?

Any doubts?

Indian?

I'm a local.

I'm an Indian cricketer, Viraj Sharma.

No, a batsman.

I'm.. I'm a bit lost.

Can you help me get back to my hotel?

- The Viceroy hotel.

- Sure.

I'm headed that way.

- How long will it take?

- Not much.

You look very frightened.

Is my voice troubling you?

Officer..

A bookie kidnapped me at gun

point and tried to fix a match.

Did you see their faces?

In fact, his man gave me

this bag in the parking lot.

Officer, please listen to me.

Take me to the nearest

police station, please.

I'll take you directly

to my captain's house.

Thank you so much, sir.

No problem.

It's my duty.

Need to see the captain.

Come in.

Five minutes.

Did you hear anyone's

name being called there?

Wagah.

That man's name is Wagah.

But I couldn't see his face.

Remember anything else?

Only his voice.

I didn't understand one thing..

..why did he let you go?

Did you fix a deal with him?

You look very frightened.

Is my voice troubling you?

Remember, I told you..

In time, you'll see my face too.

Everybody has a weakness.

We'll find out about his.

For now, we'll have to

shift him out of here.

The rascal has seen both me and the place.

I know a place that..

..the cops will never dare to think of.

We've received a list of cars

from the border security..

..which have crossed over

in the last 24 hours.

That's your guy! He's the one.

His name is Altaf.

He had come here three days

back, but returned to Abbudin.

So let's move. How many hours to reach?

- Around..

- It's not about the distance.

- Abbudin is like Pakistan for us.

- What's your point?

If a criminal from your country,

manages to cross the border..

..do you ever get him back?

If the kidnapping victim isn't

found in the first 48 hours..

..he'll never be found again.

It'll take longer to get

a visa to that place.

Abbudin is out of our jurisdiction.

Yours, not mine.

If you cross that border,

you're not our responsibility.

I'm no one's responsibility, anyway.

Junaid Ansari, what do

you think you're doing!

Sir, you know..

..that a day earlier, I couldn't

even find a missing dog.

But everything changed after Kabir arrived.

I drove the car for the first time..

..not to buy vegetables..

..but to find information.

I ran on the streets.

Not to mind your kids..

..but to stop suspects.

Most importantly..

..through your department,

I worked for my country.

I know that none of you think highly of me.

But Kabir trusts me fully.

I wouldn't want to break that.

Please leave your keys,

badge and gun on the table.

I can take you guys to Abbudin.

- What are you doing here?

- I quit.

Don't worry, Kabir. We don't need anybody.

You deserve it, take.

But there's a small complication.

They took away the car keys and the gun.

Give back the cigarette.

Earlier, you were useless for them

and now you're useless to me.

I just praised you so much in

there and you're insulting me!

That's what you deserve. Go back in.

Hey Kabir, you maybe Munnabhai..

..but I'm not Circuit.

You maybe Batman, but I'm not Birdman.

You maybe a hero..

..but even I'm a hero now.

We've to find Viraj and bring him back.

- My new-found reputation is at stake.

- And I've an old one to protect!

Do you want some hot chocolate, Meera?

Meera Behl, daughter of Balraj Behl.

After your mom passed away, your

dad married a second time..

..much to your distress.

You indulged in substance abuse.

Daddy had to put you in rehab.

But you escaped from there.

First Thailand, then Istanbul..

..and finally here.

What I don't understand is..

..why here?

Don't you know we have strict

laws for drug addicts?

Since I got addicted to being on the run..

..I gave up all others.

I'm clean, officer.

No point telling me all this.

People from the Indian embassy

are on their way here.

Time to go home, Meera.

Can I use the restroom?

Don't shout.

What are you doing here?

I've been practising Spiderman's

kiss for years, wanna try?

No way!

What's taking so long?

Two minutes!

- Will you take us to Abbudin?

- But how do we get out of here?

- Give me your hand.

- What?

Don't worry.

'Tyson' is pulling us up.

Ahoy, buddy!

He's so strong.

And what about my Spiderman stunt?

Let's get to Abbudin.

He's better off sleeping.

Such men live alone all their lives.

Tell me, why does this grumpy guy

carry the world's burden on his back?

He has a very sad story.

But it's not his fault.

There's a fault in his stars.

Well, forget it, Senorita.

Let's talk something good.

Your legs look quite strong.

Other than running from the cops,

what else do you do for cardio?

- Not much really.

- Good enough.

What happened with him?

Now I really wanna know.

Kabir used to be a happy man once.

He had the perfect life.

But then..

..he fell gravely ill.

What?

Testicular cancer.

Because of that his

girlfriend cheated on him.

What?!

The disease was cured..

..but his anger..

..rages on.

Since then, this man turned into a beast!

Like a mad elephant, he's

destroying everything on his path.

Passport!

Abbudin!

Abbudin!

Abbudin! Abbudin!

Abbudin! Abbudin!

Abbudin! Abbudin!

Abbudin! Abbudin!

Thank you.

Welcome, friend!

I sell all kinds of weapons,

except nuclear weapons.

- What do you want?

- Who is this?

This is Abbudin.

Out here, even Google can't

search the way I can.

But there's a price for every man.

- He's a local.

- Where can I find him?

Many secrets are buried

in the soil of Abbudin.

Go ahead.

- Hello, friend!

- Hello.

This is her mother.

But he's the father of this child.

He's the father of many

children in Abbudin.

Oh.. so he's a famous man!

Where can I find him?

There's a price for every man here.

Price.

- Go ahead.

- Give me a straight answer.

He's underground.

Go ahead.

You arrested me because

I stole Altaf's phone.

But Altaf stole this

phone from someone else.

That means, we're looking for

the phone's original owner.

You're thinking too hard.

Don't tax your little brains.

Junaid, I'm Qureshi from India, remember?

How can I forget you?

My elder brother in

Dubai, Muskaan's uncle..

I showed him your photo.

I thought of taking his opinion as well.

And what's his opinion?

Even he didn't like you at all.

Not even a wee bit.

I'm at work, don't irritate..

Hey, where are you going?!

- C'mon, give it back.

- Careful.

The boy's not alone.

They're young.

Then try cuddling them!

Dad.

He's really the father

of many kids in Abbudin.

- Abbudin's soil.. - ..has

many buried secrets.

He's underground.

So this is what 'underground' means.

Thank you for bringing us here.

And you're welcome, for

getting you out of there.

- Have a good life.

- Wait!

You can't get rid of me so easily.

Wait!

What's going on here?

This is the most colourful game of Abbudin.
