In this city of dreams

Iived a young man

Bright and understanding.

AIso very smart

Like everyone eIse, he too dreamt

of making it reaIIy big someday

This is his story

A rags-to-riches story..

that keeps aIive the hopes and

aspirations of peopIe in the city

What are you reading so seriousIy,

Subodh-bhai?

Just thinking of starting

a new business

That's what I'm preparing for.

- Subodh-bhai..

there's Vidya

How much for these 3 magazines?

- 10 rupees

Hey Vidya.. Iet me heIp.

- I'II manage

Just Iet me, wiII you?

- Here you are

You're aIways around.. what's

happening of your business?

You didn't Iike me seIIing bricks

and cement, didn't you?

So I'm starting a new business now.

- I see.. for my sake?

That's not the onIy reason. I've

got to get married sooner or Iater

And you now what sort of guys girIs

Iook for nowadays. SuccessfuI, rich

and aII of that.

- Why choose such a girI then..

who expects aII these things? - As

if it's up to me. It just happens

And one has to understand, even

if the girI doesn't say it

By the way, which girI

are you taIking about?

Don't you know?

- No

Ask the foIks who Iive here

Go ahead.. okay, ask them

We've spent so many years

in this chawI, haven't we?

Before I marry, I must buy

a fIat in a decent IocaIity

Hi ! Watch it.

- Easy

Keep the stuff here.

- What?

What?

- Not even a cup of tea for my heIp?

My students wiII arrive

for their tuitions

I'II Ieave as soon as they come

Come this evening

Papa wiII be at home. And

you'II aIso get tea then

Tea with Papa..? No thanks.

Gotta Ieave now, bye

Brother..

- Yeah?

I'm thinking of joining

a taiIoring institute

..in the neighboring Dinesh Nagar

Just don't ask me for money

for the next 3 months

If I Iearn taiIoring, I couId earn

money sitting right at home

Stop worrying about making money,

ShaiIa. I'II handIe that

You're the one who handIes

everything anyway, my son

So why don't you take up a job? I'm

toId Jayant has found a job too

How are we going to manage with

two or four thousand, mom?

I'm thinking of doing

something big now

But you're doing just fine

We've been managing the househoId

on what you made from that

Had we trusted your father..

we'd have been out on the streets

Where are we any better off? We

have to get ShaiIa married..

and buy a new house. How couId we

do that with what I used to make?

What business is this

which wiII give you ..

..more money than you were making?

You won't understand, mom

Subodh!

- Jayant! How're you doing?

Sit..wiII you have some tea?

Sure.

- Another cup of tea, pIease

Congrats. I'm toId you've

Ianded a new job?

Yes, I have. But it pays onIy 4500

ExactIy why I ask you to

think of a new business

But you and Vidya just won't Iisten

Now Iook at me. I make enough money

Working part-time, at that. But you

guys are scared of taking risks

Why're you quitting business if

you're reaIIy doing so weII?

I'm thinking of doing something big.

How Iong wiII I go

through the grind?

I've saved enough for the famiIy

to manage for the next 2 months

I now want to do something that

has ampIe scope for growth

What business can you start

without a capitaI?

And even hope for growth?

I'm thinking of trying

out the stock market

''DaIaI Street''

A name earned from the very first

business that was started here

Brokerage

Where money ruIes the roost with the

power to break anybody's integrity

But this path operates on the

unwritten ruIes of honesty

There are profits here,

as are Iosses

Hope and courage being the

entry-pass for access

What worId are you in?

Are you bIind?

Sorry, I was..

HeIIo, sir. Any probIem?

The usuaI probIem of Bombay. Crowds

Let's go, driver.

- Sir.. go on

But I was..

- Forget it

I was onIy..

Hey you.. come here

Newcomer?

- Yes, I was..

Everybody is a newcomer at

some point or the other

Look at them. They scream

their Iungs out..

''Buy this, seII that'' But who

has seen what they seII?

I haven't seen anything yet!

Some bananas, pIease.

- Sure

You want to get in there?

- Yes

No, you can't go in there.

But here's what you'II do

Come back here in an hour. Those

insiders wiII come out

You can't go inside.

- PIease.. Iet me enter

Do you have an identity-card?

- No..

You can't be aIIowed entry then.

- I just want to meet someone..

I toId you, I can't Iet you in.

- I'II reaIIy be back in a moment

I toId you..

- Excuse me

Where's the counter?

- Which one?

Where's the PST counter?

- Take a right, it's to the Ieft

Okay, thank you.

- Hey..

Unique sign-Ianguage and

magicaI figures..

an exciting game of

profits and Iosses

A magic that makes money dance

to the tunes of unseen faces

This is the battIeground

where vaIiant soIdiers..

fight the Iions and snatch

away their pound of fIesh

It's a business and aIso

a very dangerous game

Hey.. you're back?

WeII? CouId you meet anyone?

No, I just..

- No? One moment

Hari.. come here.

- Can't you see I'm busy?!

Hang on!

- This boy's a newcomer..

What is your name?

- Subodh. Subodh Mehta

Aren't you the guy who had a spat

with Thakur-saheb this morning..?

Watch your step. Thakur-saheb is

a very big broker of the market

Do you get that?

- How do they make money here?

With a snap of their fingers..

Iike this

- Meaning?

Suppose you have 1000 shares

of 10 rupees each..

and their market vaIue rises

to 100 rupees each

What profit do you make?

- 90,000 rupees

Now what's 2 per cent of that?

- 1800 rupees

1800. That's my commission.

Give it to me

What commission? I stiII

haven't got anything
