You'II get something.. when you

seII the shares in the market

You'II find peopIe in the

market who'II teII you..

when to buy and when to

seII. You get that?

We have contacts deep inside.

You understand?

AII you need is a trustworthy broker

and a sub-broker Iike me. That's it

You'II get rich in a matter

of minutes. AbsoIuteIy

We guys have aII the

inside information

Let's have some tea.

- Sure

How much are you investing?

- ActuaIIy..

I'm Iooking for a job

in your business

Wait now.. the tea's

caIIed off, okay?

But where have we ordered tea yet?

- You're wasting my time!

I have enough money to

buy you a cup of tea

Thick-skinned guy, aII right

It's guys Iike you

our business needs

You understand?

What's your bIood group?

- What?

You mean, one gains when one

works for a big broker?

Oh yes. You know Thakur-saheb? He's

one of the top guns at DaIaI Street

His sub-broker won't even taIk to

you, unIess you carry a Iot of money

I work for C.N. Shah.

I'm his sub-broker

They've been into this business

for three generations

He's not very big.. but he's okay

Medium-sized.. he's doing

business aII right

Whom did we donate bIood for?

Someone I know. Harischandra-ji. I

used to work for him at one time

He's terribIy iII now

One must heIp such peopIe

What's up with you? Any probIem?

- No, no..

your Harishchandra-ji mustn't have

been good at snapping his fingers

Now how do I expIain? Your

knowIedge means nothing

This is the share-market.

More than money..

it's your word that is important.

It's the promise you make

Outsiders never get

a chance to break in

What you need to buiId is trust.

That's aII you want

Come.. where shouId we

sit? In that corner?

Here?

- Okay, Iet's sit here. C'mon

Where's the waiter? pIease

take our order..

You know so much, Hari. So why are

you working for someone eIse?

Why don't you branch out on your

own? - Stop picking on me!

As if it's easy to become a broker.

- No, what I meant..

You need tons of money

to become a broker!

And recommendations of the big guns

Why wouId any cIient come to you?

Why wouId he, teII me?

It's because you are acquainted

with the high and mighty, right?

But Iook at Bhejani. He too

had started from scratch

And see where he is today.

- Order, sir..?

Let's order food first. I'II

have a My sore masaIa dosa

What'II you have?

- An idIi

Make that an idIi and a vada.

- Okay

And make it quick

This Bhejani guy is a maverick;

he manipuIated things

But however successfuI he is,

the guys at the exchange..

teach him a Iesson with

a snap of their fingers!

He's using the money avaiIabIe

in the market

The big guns wiII Iet him fIy just

as high as they want him to

That's it

What's this?

ArticIes on the buII-run;

and bear-phase

When everybody's buying,

it's caIIed the buII-run

And when they're aII seIIing,

it's caIIed the bear-phase

Okay. Ups and downs, right?

- Yes

It's in EngIish!

I'II have a word with my boss about

you.. you'II sureIy get a job

That wouId be wonderfuI,

Hari-bhai. But..

how are you going to trust me?

Who trusts you? I trust your dreams!

Oh yes! You're a hard worker

Don't you want to be Iike Bhejani?

You want to make money, don't you?

Oh yes, I do. - You gotta

be honest in the beginning

You get that? Or you'II get kicked

out on the very first day

No..

- A buII-run to begin with!

Get started

Sir, Thakur-saheb says..

Who's Thakur?

- Pardon me? What does that mean?

Look, Jugaad Singh. I

don't know any Thakur

I've buiIt aII this

with my own hard work

I'm not as big a broker as

Thakur or the others..

..but they sent you to me

I didn't go to them, did I?

- Yes, but Thakur-saheb's pIans..

Look, I don't need anybody's pIans.

I'm wiIIing to sweat it out..

I haven't cuItivated the habit

of an air conditioner yet

Come on in..

- Come, Hari

I must say, sir, you aIways

find a true gem!

This Hari here.. he's a true gem!

Who's he?

- He.. a friend of mine

He wants to Iearn our business.

- Have I started a schooI here?

Shah-saheb, you're a big man,

a reaI veteran in the fieId.

Give me just one opportunity! I'II

work hard and sincereIy, sir

This guy seems pretty straight..

What is your name?

Subodh.. Subodh Mehta, right?

Shah-saheb, I can sweat it too

And I haven't cuItivated the habit

of an air conditioner either

Okay, come back this evening,

So I came to you..

Yes

Thanks for saving the situation,

Vidya. - Must I appIy vermiIIion now?

I Iied onIy to win over his trust!

- You were cheating him, Subodh

Why wouId I do that? I was onIy

trying to evoke sympathy in his heart

I neither have the money

nor any infIuence

This is saIesmanship!

What are you doing..?

It's raining! Open the umbreIIa!

You've gone mad! HoId this

Vidya

Is there something you

May I say something then?
