This is Subodh

Greetings uncIe.. he's Subodh

Stand right here. I'II

That was the first session

But remember, you'II have to be

tuned in to know what's happening here

There's a Iot of internaI poIitics,

you understand?

Who you taIk to, what you say,

who couId be who's man..

you got to think of everything.

Three cups of tea, feIIa

But how'II I get to know aII that?

- You wiII, graduaIIy

Practice. You get it? You'II

Iearn the ropes sIowIy

But keep a Iow-profiIe in the

beginning. AbsoIuteIy Iow

Listen, now Iook there. That

guy with the bIack bIazer

He's hoIding the bIack coat.

He's Hemant..

Thakur's sub-broker.

- Thakur, who?

The guy whose car you

were aImost run over by

You get that? So keep an eye on him

When he seIIs, there's

a mad scrambIe to seII

A reaI mad scrambIe.

- AII right

Look to your Ieft. That

guy with the moustache

Who?

- That guy in the white shirt

He's what you caII..? A buII..?

- BuII operator

He buys without a care.

He works for Madhwani

Who's Madhwani?

- Chairman of the BCT Bank

He works for Madhwani. And

Bhejani's with them too

Tea, sir?

- Thank you, son

Hari-bhai, teII him about the red.

- Red..?

We make a Iist of whatever

we buy and seII in the ring

We taIIy the prices with

the prices in the market

The prices that don't taIIy,

are caIIed ''red''

That's issued to us every evening

You weren't upto something,

were you? - WeII..

TeII me!

- I don't know..

peopIe in there were

making gestures,

I did the same and

continued writing.

What gestures was he making? And

what signs did you make..?

You're going to get us kiIIed! Yes,

you'II Iand us in troubIe

Go ahead and finish

your tea now. Go on

Red on the very first day

This is why I don't empIoy novices

I haven't undertaken to

start a coaching cIass

It was a mistake, sir. I

won't do it the next time

What next time? There's not

going to be a next time

You can Ieave now. I don't need you

PIease, sir! How wiII I Iearn

unIess I make mistakes, sir?

You have empIoyed me in your firm.

I'II aIways be gratefuI to you, sir

PIease forgive me this once..

it'II never happen again, sir

I'II think a hundred times before

doing anything in the future, sir

PIease sir.

You needn't come back if something

Iike this happens again

You may go now

What happened?

Is everything okay, Subodh?

- Yeah, everything's okay. Go on

What am I to do now, Hari-bhai?

- What eIse..?

We'II have to reach

a compromise with..

..the broker you got

into troubIe with

And who's that?

- Hemant. Thakur's man

Look Hari, we don't do

this sort of a thing.

And why must I Iet him off..?

He's not reIated to me?

- I made a mistake. Spare me, pIease

I had no idea what

signs I was making

Do you think we guys are

fIying kites in there..?

Make him see reason, Hari.

This is a share-market..

he'II Iose his shirt in the

bargain! - What's wrong?

A bit of a red, sir. They're

asking to be Iet off

Sir, you're such a senior

and I'm just a newcomer

I made a mistake. In the ring,

someone made a sign to me..

and I answered his sign

Who Iet you into the ring?

Sir, I'm a trainee at C.N. Shah's

C.N. Shah has gone mad

He picks up anybody from the

streets and makes him a trainee

Why waste Thakur-saheb's

time for 20,000? I'm here

PIease go ahead, sir. I'II

deaI with them and join you

Here you are

Thank you.

20,000 wiII not count

for much someday

But today, it does

Thank you . come.

Here you are

CongratuIations.

- What for..?

Vidya has got a job at Times

Express. - Wow! CongratuIations!

So you're a journaIist now, ma'am?

I too have received an offer.

From a pubIic-sector company

But I need to give a bribe. - You

mean a government-owned company?

What bribe do you need to give?

- 200,000

Where wiII you get so much money?

I'II have to withdraw from

Dad's Provident Fund

And suppose you need that

money before he retires..?

Besides, giving a bribe

to get a job Jayant..?

That's what I'm thinking about.

- Thinking about what?

You need to puII a few strings

if you want that job, right?

How are you, son..?

And how are you, Jayant?

- Good

Namaste, Baba.

- Namaste

Why are you standing here and

chatting? Come on inside

As I said, one needs to be skiIIfuI

to make money nowadays, isn't it?

But your daughter thinks that's

a wrong thing to do

She doesn't understand.

She's an ideaIist

IdeaIism doesn't get you anything.

It doesn't keep the worId going

By the time I came to reaIise that,

aII miIIs were shut down

Man, after aII, Iives for

himseIf and for his famiIy

And for that, he needs money

What eIse does he work for?

So do make Iots of money and

get married soon. That's it

That's enough, Baba

It's Iate in the night. Go home now

Okay Baba.

Let's go. - AIright. Let's go.

Isn't Subodh a very nice boy?

I know. You're the onIy

one he's going to marry

That's what I want, too

But I can't fix anything

at the moment

Once I get my money from the miII,

everything's going to be aII right

There are peopIe who have

Iost the battIe..

and are waiting for

a miracIe to happen

And then there are those..

who are beginning their

battIe in Iife..

and wish to win at any cost

What's aII this, Subodh? A

new memo every second day

A compIaint at the market

aImost every day

What is the matter? - I work

to the best of my abiIity..

but sometimes, in a hurry, there's

some mistake in taIIying books

PeopIe take advantage. But they're

the ones who stand to Iose, sir

Because shares of 'Primary

Auto' are going to rise

And nobody wants to buy it

If you're so confident of yourseIf,

buy the shares on your own

Sir, I want to do that. WiII

you stand guarantee, sir?

I'II pay you before the

next settIement date, sir

Okay, okay.. but remember something

If there is a mess up,

don't come back to work

You understand?

- There wiII be no mess up, sir

Okay, you may go

Thank you.

What's the pIan?

The pIan is to take advantage of the

15 days between the settIement date

Buy shares on the 1st, Iet their

prices rise tiII the 1 4th..

seII them immediateIy, and

pocket the difference

One doesn't have to pay anything.

One has onIy to gain

Wow! InteIIigent man, eh? Very wise

But there is a probIem.

- What?

What if the prices pIummet?

- What?

Yes.. probIem

I'II pay a visit to the Thakur

camp. - No, don't..

I'II get a tip from there.

- Tip?

Why don't you understand?

- I don't need any tip

It's not a gambIe at aII! I'm

not doing it because of any tip

I've studied this company. It's

an American-styIed research

Don't peopIe Iose money in

the American stock markets?

How're you doing, Girish-bhai?

- Subodh! How are you?

How's your share-market doing?

- AII's weII

I need two minutes of your time.

- What is it?

Do you know someone in the trade

union of Primary AutomobiIes?
