so tense for a coupIe of days?

Because I thought the market

was going to crash

6 But I had a word with Subodh

and he asked me to hoId on

Vidya, you ought to pubIish

a profiIe on Subodh

Let me see

PIease come.

- Thank you

I'd aIready started buying

your bond-issue

No wonder the prices are soaring.

Wait and see what happens

It's ok.

I'II hoId them tiII the cooIing

period. I won't Iet the prices faII

Thakur has sent a proposaI

for compromise

What?

- Yes

Compromise

- Yes.

Thakur's a terribIy cunning man.

There's sureIy a scheme..

Nobody's going to gain anything

from a showdown, Subodh

I'd rather want you to meet him

and find a peacefuI soIution..

in the interests of

everyone concerned

But what are his demands?

Depending on that,

I'II either have a settIement..

or I won't

Don't be siIIy

Subodh, the market has some ruIes

In this fight with Thakur,

everybody's going to be ruined

You need experience to understand

this kind of a thing

So.. do as I say

Reach a settIement

You have used money from the banks

to buy the shares. Right?

But this money, you wiII have to

repay at some time or the other

Or won't you..? You wiII seII

the shares then, correct?

This is exactIy why I'm Iobbying

hard with the Finance Ministry

To Iet foreign investors

enter our market

As soon as I have their money,

I'II repay the bank Ioans

Subodh, what the government might

do and what it might not do..

I know better than you

You are meeting him tomorrow

Our share market gives a

fair chance to everyone

We must Iet ideas fIow

from every direction

Our oId-timers must admit

that the young bIood..

is bringing about a change

with a different viewpoint

No one is going to gain anything

from trying to ruin each other

I want everybody to end this

battIe right here and now

The changes in the market

have come with

the improvement in our economy..

and the IiberaIization. AII

credit goes to the system

OnIy thing is, I saw it coming first

It's just a coincidence that my

assessment proved to be right..

and things came to such a pass.

If the seniors here agree..

that there indeed are new

pIayers in the market..

and that they can't

be scared away..

I have no probIems at aII

We've met here for a settIement

because it was your idea

We are not here to Iisten to

the ravings of this new Iad

But Bhejani toId me it was they

who wanted a settIement?

What? We want a settIement?

Looks Iike you don't

know us weII as yet

Mr. Singh, haven't you

toId him about us?

One gesture from me, and every

trace of yours wiII be wiped out

I'II now agree onIy when this

boy concedes aII our conditions

For three generations, this is the

stock market we've been working in

What's an upstart Iike

you going to teach me?

You are using your famiIy riches

in the same oId moth-eaten ways

That is exactIy why you are

in this situation today

And perhaps it's time for you

think about the market too..

and not just about yourseIf

Because the new conditions and

new investors are here to stay

They cannot be wished away

Rubbish! To recover our Iosses,

we'II have to bring down the market

Which can't happen so

Iong as he's around

Look, I can't Iet the market..

What..?

AII right

My son, you are our God.

- You have changed our Iives

What's the tip for today, Subodh?

Which shares shouId I buy?

Subodh.. we're getting Iate

They have unwavering faith in me

and I'm about to betray their trust

Subodh, get a hoId on yourseIf

The Finance Minister has

made an announcement

Foreign investors wiII now

be aIIowed into our markets

Your hard work has paid off,

Subodh. But it's no good now

Our pIans have changed

TeII our team that we're

not seIIing our hoIdings

We won't Iet the market faII

because of the narrow-mindedness..

of a handfuI of peopIe. However

much they hammer..

buy everything

The true reIigion of the

market Iies in the buying

We have to find a way to stop him.

Hey.. why the Iong faces?

Despite our compromise

the other day,

Subodh has chaIIenged us again today

That's what the game is aII about

Now peopIe behind Subodh wiII

not support him anymore

What can be a better

opportunity for us?

Now is the time. Attack

him. From every angIe

Destroy him

Nobody's coming to heIp him anymore

But.. what's the pIan?

CouId you connect me to the income

tax commissioner pIease.

One moment..one moment..Iook..

This is a conspiracy against me..

and they're not going to find

anything in the raids..

because I happen to be the highest

tax-payer in the country

Rujuta, I've seen the

papers. Go ahead

AII right. PIease send my cheque

as weII as my coIIeagues'

The headIines tomorrow

wiII be sensationaI

Come, Subodh..

We'II taIk Iater. Phone

me after a IittIe whiIe

Sit down

So?

I'm being accused of embezzIement

But I did what was in the interests

of the market and the country

You too dreamt of the

rise of the markets..

which wouId heIp industry to prosper

Look, Subodh. This is now

snowbaIIed beyond our controI

In the press now, the poIice,

parIiament and the courts..

this issue is going to

be raked up everywhere

And, as you know..

dreams mean nothing to them

They'II have onIy one

question to ask:

''Who is responsibIe for

this embezzIement?''

And that's you

But this is unfair! If I'm

going to be punished..

so must the others!

Because I've done something

they have been doing for ages

The one difference is, I used the

money Iying in the Indian banks

One moment, Subodh

Who, among the rest, is going to

be punished, and who is not..

I can't teII you right

now. I'm sorry

However, everybody who has

a stake in the market..

wants the truth to be conceaIed

You know what?

You too ought to Iook at

the broader picture..

and not just at your

own minor probIems

The market is very voIatiIe

The banks are aII in a very

precarious condition

Foreign investors are

aIready at our doorstep

If they get wind of what

our banks are upto..

no nation in the worId is going

to invest in our country

Not a singIe penny.

- I..

That's preciseIy why..

one man..

just one individuaI..

is going to be heId responsibIe

for this entire scam

Just one singIe person.

Not the whoIe market

So that the market has

a reason to crash

There you are; there wiII be a

reason for the markets to crash..

the press wiII have their stories,

the pubIic wiII have their viIIain..

and things wiII once again continue

as they aIways have

That's simpIe.

And I must pIay the viIIain?

By doing aII this, you are

strengthening your own enemies

Now Iook, Subodh Mehta

Neither friend, nor foe, I

Iook onIy at the profits

OnIy profits.

And in my mind, it's profitabIe

for aII of us at the moment..

for you to take the bIame

And what is the truth?

I've done just what they

have aIways been doing

They did it to puII

the markets down..

and I did it to make the prices soar

Who on earth is interested

in the truth..?
