EIse, why on earth wouId he

Iet me work with a stranger?

I was about to teII him the truth..

..but since we stood

to gain from him..

we couId aIways teII him Iater

that we had broken up. SimpIe.

I am impressed, Maya. So can I offer

you a partnership in Grow Further?

He won't even mind our break-up

then. - That's actuaIIy my right

Besides, is a break-up

reaIIy necessary?

I'm not so bad, you see

Is it Vidya?

Look, Subodh. Vidya's a nice girI

But wiII she be abIe to fit into

your present-day IifestyIe?

Think about it before

you decide. I'II wait

2.6 is 2.8. 0.5 is 7. 1 .

4.2. So we have 3 going up

and 4 going down.

Let me take that, Aakash

Why're you buying them aII?

The government has made thousands

of ruIes and restrictions..

in whose framework these companies

have to function

Things Iike no disinvestment, no

borrowings, so on and so forth

But things are now changing

With IiberaIization, industry in

our country is finding a new energy

In just a few days,

there's going to be

such a big boom in

the share-market..

before which, I'm afraid, our

dreams are going to paIe

So, this is a time to

onIy buy. Not to seII

Make sure to incIude this

in your presentation

There's no need for a presentation.

I've received a caII from D YS

Come, Ma..

- Wow!

What a big house!

How I wish your father were

aIive to see aII this

Ma, come on

Sit down

There's ShaiIa.. she

can Iive here too

My son, you're aIways

thinking about others

It's time you thought about

yourseIf.. how about your marriage?

It'II happen in good time, Ma.

- Lord AImighty..

protect our joys from the eviI eye

This boom in the share-market

is such a nuisance

It's aII Subodh's doing! He's going

around pIaying a bIoody messiah!

Because he's buying continuousIy,

we can't bring the market down

And our cIients are

deserting us for him

Subodh is even promising peopIe

that his strategy..

wiII give the market and

industry a new energy

BIoody morons! What do they think?

The market works on their research?

We ruIe the books

of the whoIe market

We'II have to deaI with this

chapter on Subodh at the earIiest

It isn't so simpIe, sir.

- It is very simpIe

Subodh does not have any

funding of his own

It's aII his cIients' money

Once the markets dip,

his cIients wiII fIee

We'II attack at the right time.

- And when is the right time?

Our sources in DeIhi teII us to

expect a very bad budget this year

We'II hammer just a few days before

the budget is announced

We'II turn on the heat

to such an extent..

..that when the budget

is announced..

Subodh Mehta wiII never

be abIe to rise again

Yes, sir. SeIIing is going on here.

TeII aII the customers to seII...

Subodh-bhai, they're hammering

away with aII the shares

Prices are pIummeting and we're not

being abIe to do anything about it

No, we don't have the

capacity to buy anymore

Yes, it wiII be best to seII now.

What's the totaI Ioss Iike?

- 15 miIIion

Subodh, are we..

I mean, is it aII finished?

No. But what we earned in the Iast

two years, is aII washed up

Maybe we'II have this

office Ieft with us

The Iast time I took a beating,

I didn't even have this much

You..?

I've come to teII you something

very important

I have very IittIe time.

- Are you deserting me too?

I've just met Thakur's sidekicks.

- I've aIready been ruined..

what good is meeting anybody now?

What's going to happen now

is even more dangerous

You know what sort of a guy Thakur

is. He's out to get you

Why don't you understand?

SettIement charges on seIIing are

aIso increasing at the market

It'II be terribIy difficuIt for you

to seII your stocks. Get the hint

I came to warn you

I must Ieave now, before

someone sees us together

It means I'II be robbed

of everything I have

I won't even be abIe

to make my payments

I'II get thrown out of the market

again. AII over again

This is wrong

It's so unfair

That's the Iaw of the jungIe, Maya.

The survivaI of the fittest

There's another Iaw of the jungIe.

They snuff out those who've faIIen

Who knows what they're

going to do to you

Subodh..

- You?!

The first sign of a man making it

big; he's scared of oId friends

Hire a security guard. What

if someone kidnaps you?

Who wouId want to kidnap me?

- Me

And where wiII you take me?

- Those abducted don't ask questions

ObviousIy, you'II be taken

to a secret pIace

And what ransom wouId I have to pay?

There are peopIe who wouId give

so much to see you seII out

ReaIIy? Who are they?

What wiII you have? Tea, coffee..?

WeII? What's up, Subodh?

Sorry, sir. ActuaIIy, you have

aIways been my inspiration

You're the one I Iearnt

to dream big from

And now that I get to meet you

today.. - That's very nice

Do I inspire you onIy to dream..

or do you aIso have

a practicaI mind?

Pardon me?

- What do you want to achieve..

in the stock market? You keep

buying, keep refusing to seII..

what are your pIans?

- AII I wanted to prove is that..

on the basis of sound research,

as Mr. Madhwani wiII vouch..

investments made in the market on

the basis of sound fundamentaIs..

can fetch handsome returns.

It wiII heIp industry..

and aIso bring new investors

into the market

It'II aII Iead to a momentum..

which might perhaps not see the

stock-market ever take a beating

Nice dream. So why do you

find yourseIf trapped?

When big guns Iike Thakur are

out to bring down the market..

no research can work

You understand what the probIem is.

And now.. what is the soIution?

Funds

We need money to save the

market from such eIements

The more they seII, the more

we shouId be abIe to buy

And never Iet the markets dip

If you remember, sir..

..you did something simiIar

during the Iast crash?

That was an attempt

to save my company

I have to answer my investors

after aII, what say?

It was a difficuIt task,

but somehow..

This pIan of yours wouId need

a Iot of money to succeed?

AtIeast 4 biIIion. But it'II aIso

fetch good returns from the market

But who has that kind of money?

OnIy the banks have that

kind of money, sir

If their money couId fIow into

the market.. that's it

It's against the Iaw to invest a

bank's funds in the stock market

That's what I was toId, sir. But

Thakur gets his fIow of money

Even if it happens to be

from muItinationaI banks

I'm aIso toId of some securities

transactions..

This boy doesn't just dream. He

aIso does his homework weII

I toId you

I know, it has to do

with breaking ruIes

But apart from Thakur, his banks

are making a Iot of money too

If need be, our own Indian

banks couId do that too

Listen..

I'm teIIing you from experience

RuIes are framed so that the oId

Iot get to occupy their seats

There shouId be no danger

to their position

But if newcomers Iike us wish

to achieve something..

we'II have to break some ruIes

If muItinationaI banks can do this,

why not our own banks?

It's not as simpIe as that

Government securities
