Subhya! Subhya!

Subhash! It's morning.

Hey, he's not even in the well.

God! It means my

efforts went into vain.

Hey, done?

Okay!

Subhash!

God!

What's here?

Ghost!

God has graced this

soil by coconut trees.

But what's this? God

has graced this soil...

...by hairy animal in the trunk?

Subhya! Subhya! Subhash!

Is he dead? Subhya!

Not yet?

What do you eat?

Keep waiting.

Sh*t!

Subhya! What's here?

Wake up! Wake up, Subhya.

Wake up! Wake up! Wa ke up!

I thought you're dead.

C'mon. Come out.

Now I felt fresh.

What fresh? I had almost fainted.

Do you drink so much? Sh*t.

Fine. Let's have a cup of tea.

Tea? Idiot! Forget tea.

Look at your condition first.

What are you doing

here in Gurav's farm?

What else I should do?

If Anna Gurav had

caught me at night...

...he would have killed me.

So you slept here at night?

- Yes.

When you're in trouble,

don't fear of any obstacle.

I was fortunate that

my life was saved.

You people of Konkan are

very afraid by nature.

Why? You people die everyday?

No need to taunt all the time.

Nature hasn't graced us prosperity...

...but still people don't offer life.

In fact they

welcome people with love.

Then show some love for me too.

And get me a cup of tea.

C'mon, let's have a

cup of tea, teacher.

Did you hear some sound?

Twice I was tumbling down here.

There must be a trunk.

People sometimes find

God's idol from the ground.

I think we too are graced

with something like that.

Shall we take out

something from this?

Don't just keep blabbering.

Bring that spade.

Teacher! C'mon, open it.

Open it quickly.

Wait! Don't be so eager.

This is in our destiny.

What's this? - People find

gold and wealth from the ground.

And what do we get?

These torn papers.

Are they okay?

What's going on?

Anku!

Idiot! I'm Amruta.

What are you doing here?

Amruta, see this.

God! He's Anna. He's grandpa...

...grandmother... who's he?

What's all this?

And why this trunk was buried here?

It's something regarding mangoes.

Yes! That means brother

Ajeet must have buried it here.

Look at this.

- What's that?

See this!

- Gurkh Brothers. - Idiot!

It's Gurav brothers.

- Okay.

What?

- Gurav brothers?

Villagers, everybody has

different number of trees.

But don't worry.

I'll give you Rs 1

lac for each 100 trees.

If somebody has more,

he'll get double.

If more than that, he'll get triple.

Yes! You won't even be able

to calculate it, villagers.

Mr. Chhajed!

We toil the entire year

and look after the trees.

We face all the hardship

caused by every season...

...to grow and nourish the mango.

And beg at a broker

like you for Rs1 lac. Why?

Ajeet!

- Hey...

Don't worry.

Anna! Anna, don't mind.

It's a young blood.

It'll use abusive words.

Tell me. - Approximately

2000 mangoes grow on one tree.

So 100 trees will

grow 2 lac mangoes.

He'll take 2 lac

Alphansos from you...

...and take it to the market.

There he'll increase the rate.

Double rate for Export.

Triple rate for special order.

He'll say there's

recession in the market.

He'll rate the box as per his wish.

That means he'll earn Rs.1.2 million

after the produce of one tree.

And how much will he

give us? Just one lac.

Do you think we're beggars?

Hey, Ajeet. Don't teach us.

He's ready to give us

one lac rupees, isn't he?

You've gold in your hand.

Do you know it's value?

He earns billions on your produce.

Ask him if I'm wrong.

I do earn.

I'm running a business.

I'm not a Marathi man.

I'm not a Marathi man.

We know the business. Mr. Ajeet.

Fine! I'll give ynou

Rs2 lac. I don't rmind.

2 lac?

I'll kick you if you're

seen in this area again.

Ajeet, mind your language.

Anna, let him speak.

It won't increase the rates.

Mr. Ajeet, if you know the business,

offer them your rate. I don't mind.

Mr. Chhajed, why do

you take him seriously?

Why are you silent?

C'mon, Ajeetrao. Speak up.

Business is not that easy.

It requires brain.

How much did you offer? Rs.2 lac.

Fine, I too will offer my rate.

Rs.3 lac.

Please, don't mind, Anna.

Look at his clothing.

From where will you

give therm Rs lac?

By worshiping or begging?

Alphanso!

We've Alphanso.

It's gold!

Real gold!

Mr. Ajeet, now that

you've started giving offer...

...you must continue with it.

3 lac? No, Mr. Ajeet. I'm scared.

I tell you, nobody can

afford to pay you Rs3 lac,

And it won't even suit him.

My rate is Rs4 lac.

Tell me. Will you

give it? I'll give it.

If the villagers would agree,

they'd raise their hands.

C'mon! Rs.4 lac.

See! They've raised hands.

Rs4 lac.

Rs4 lac... one...

Rs4 lac... two...

Rs4 lac...

- Rs5 lac. - What?

What are you blabbering?

Let's go home. C'mon.

Go to hell.

Are you mad? I won't pay Rs5 lac.

And how can I pay this rate?

There's no market for it...

...how can I pay it?

Now I won't buy your village's

mangoes even if it would rot.

Give them Rs.5 lac.

Let's go. C'mon.

He'll give us Rs5 lac?

C'mon, let's ask him.

How will you pay us Rs5 lac?

Tell me from where

will you arrange for it?

Chhajed left and we also lost

money. What will you do now?

Say something now.

Nanda!

- Yes.

I hope I'm doing this right.

- Yes.

Why?

No! Just like that.

What are you doing?

What?

- Leave me! - Why?

It's Tuesday. I'm fasting.

And I'm also fasting ever

since I've been here in shed.

I want to end my fasting today.

Later!

- No, now! - Later.

But...

- Nanda! - Leave me! - I won't.

No!

No!

- What?

Leave me.

Brother Ajeet! Brother Ajeet!

- Brother!

Brother Ajeet!

- Brother! - Brother Ajeet!

I hope you're not

seriously injured. - No, I'm fine.

Had I been there, I'd

have broken his skull.

Let it be. Leave it!

But are you alright now?

- Yes.

Everything was fine till now.

And suddenly you came in.

Yes, tell me. What

made you come here?

Nothing serious. But we wanted

to speak to you. - Yes, tell me.

You wish to start

with Mango business...

...does that mean it's

your family business?

Are you mad?

You've seen my relation with Anna.

- Yes.

Guravs are religious people,

observing fasts...

...matching horoscopes and

reading planet positions.

They've nothing to do

with Mango business.

Then what's this? Will

you take a look at this?

From where did you find this?

In the backyard of our house.

It was buried under

the ground in a trunk.

And look at this book.

It's an account book of mangoes.

There's detailed

information about mangoes.

See.

These handwritings...

These are Anna's handwritings.

Mango rates and market addresses...

...everything is written here.

But then this fourth person...

Who's this fourth person?

Only one person can

solve this mystry.

Whose photograph is this,

grandmother?

Why are you hiding it?

Who's he?

- Grandmother?

And why is he there in

your family photograph?

Anna?

And who's standing next to him?

Grandma, please speak up.

Uncle?!

- Uncle?!

Uncle?

Whose uncle?

We had an uncle?

Real uncle?

Where is he now?
