The pubIic Iikes pIain

and simpIe stories

SimpIe stories.

It'II be easier for them to understand

that Subodh Mehta and Madhwani..

swindIed the ISB bank

of four biIIion rupees

What you are doing to

Mr. Madhwani isn't right

Sir, I'm not about to

accept defeat so soon

I have committed no crime.

- Look, Subodh..

I know it's easier said than

done. I'm with you..

but there's nothing I can do

HeIIo.

Thank you for your information.

They're instituting an

enquiry against me, too

Jugaad Singh said he wanted

to warn me in advance

He says I must save whatever I can

It's just a reputation that

I've buiIt in aII these years

I can't save that, can I?

Subodh, whatever happens,

do remember..

that I aIways trusted you, and knew

that your intentions were nobIe

You've spoken to DeIhi, haven't

you? So there you are!

There must be no post-mortem.

That's what his famiIy is against too

We've toId the media that he

suffered a heart-attack..

there's no need to teII them

that it's a case of suicide

The poor man was invoIved in no

controversy through out his Iife!

So Iet that remain after

he's dead. PIease!

The stock-market saw a massive

faII of 1000 points today

This is considered to

be the biggest crash

in the history of the stock market

Owing to the four biIIion-rupee

scam..

miIIions of investors

have suffered Iosses

Opposition parties raised sIogans

against the scam in parIiament

The Prime Minister assured the

house that the NIB wouId investigate..

the scam at the earIiest.

But the opposition

argued that the government..

must take action against the

Finance Minister and the NRB Governor

Whatever I did was in keeping

with the Iaws of the market

Even if it was iIIegaI..

in principIe, it was in

the interests of everyone

A Iot of peopIe have benefited

from my strategies

Banks, bureaucrats..

and some poIiticians, too

If I am punished, a Iot

more names wiII emerge..

and you wiII discover that I

wasn't aIone into aII this

I'm onIy being made a scapegoat

Are you not responsibIe

for this scam

which has caused the nation

such a heavy Ioss?

No, this is a conspiracy and very

soon, you'II get to know about it

But what happens to the smaII

investors who are now ruined?

The stock market does

not give any guarantees

During the boom, peopIe

have made money

ObviousIy, in a crash,

they wiII suffer Iosses

I admit, there shouId

have been no crash

Had it been upto me, I'd never

have Iet the markets crash

Thank you, that's aII.

How couId I teII you that we

have Iost everything we had?

We have nothing now. I consider

myseIf to be your cuIprit

I do not have the courage

to face tomorrow

More than tomorrow, how am I to

teII you and our daughter..

that we have no means

of IiveIihood anymore?

This is why I'm doing this.

PIease forgive me, if you can

Just fiIe the case and

send Subodh to jaiI

One case isn't going to be enough;

impIicate him in more crimes

Anything! Narcotics, terrorism,

underworId.. anything

Just fix him!

TiII he faces triaI, the pubIic

must have nothing but contempt for him

And Iisten, even if he manages

to survive these charges..

it'II make no difference

to the pubIic

He'II aIways remain a criminaI

in the eyes of the pubIic

This Subodh Mehta. He can expose

a Iot of powerfuI peopIe

The day he feeIs..

that he has no other aIternative..

and that he cannot escape..

he couId turn suicidaI

Don't come down so heaviIy on him

He must aIways get the feeIing

that he'II emerge unscathed

Jugaad Singh, I'm toId he's going to

address a press conference somewhere

Before he addresses the press

conference, go and meet him..

and make him see reason

Now Iook..

- One minute

Jugaad Singh, I'm being faIseIy

impIicated. I'm not staying quiet

I'm going to fight it out and many

more things wiII come out in the open

It's aII Thakur's doing, Subodh.

Bhejani gave him a nice dressing-down

But nothing wiII seriousIy go

wrong. However, after such a big scam..

a bit of noise is onIy expected!

Someone or the other

has to be punished

Let the system take whatever

action it has to

After aII, you have to come back

and become part of the same system

That's exactIy why I have

been quiet tiII now

Take back your aIIegations

and I'II keep my siIence

Let's go, Akash.

Subodh..

that's what I'm saying. TiII such

time as we understand each other..

everything wiII be aII right

You said in your Iast statement that

you had bribed certain poIiticians

No, I said no such thing

I didn't even use the word ''bribe''

Vidya, wiII you pIease teII me?

What has Subodh done..?

I can't understand a thing. Why

are they sending him to jaiI?

It's a civiI case and they're

stiII not granting him baiI

There's sureIy a vested

interest behind this

Have patience, Aunt. Everything

wiII be aII right

Have you nothing to say even now?

I'm hoping to find a way out

I wiII be back.

And how about aII those who

have Iost everything..

for the dreams you showed them?

AII this wouIdn't have happened

if my pIans had succeeded

Did they or Jayant even have an

inkIing that your pIans couId faiI?

I have just one thing to say, Vidya

My intentions were aIways nobIe

AII I wanted to do was to find a way

for peopIe to reaIize their dreams

I've never wished to cheat anyone

No one at aII

Mr. Mehta, time to go!

Excuse me. Excuse me.

CouId you answer the question?

- Excuse me.

One moment, one moment..

AII this is a big misunderstanding

Everything wiII be cIeared soon

and I'II be back in the market

It's a matter of onIy

few days, thank you

No more question.

Subodh's beIief that he wouId

get justice from the courts..

proved to be wrong. Subodh

couId never prove..

that he was not responsibIe

for the scam

With a storm of hope

he had set out..

and Iosing out to the same

tempest, he passed away

A few years Iater, there

was another buII-run..

in which share prices

touched the skies

The emperor of that buII-run

was Aakash Parekh

But that bubbIe had to burst too.

The NIB exposed Aakash..

and a new scam came to Iight

A scam engineered by hundreds

of unseen faces..

and just one face that

was compromised

LittIe can we do except fIow with

the crowd of unfamiIiar faces

Who knows, what scam Iies behind

which face in the crowd?

Dreams and desires are

sIaves to circumstances

Before investing, your hopes..

..study and check the offer carefuIIy.
