Parag's widowed mother, Alka, and Air Hostess girlfriend, Manasi Pandit, retain Advocate Harish Bhatiya to represent him at a preliminary bail hearing, but the Judge denies bail.

call. I'll be back.

Hello. Yes, sir. You'll

get the car by evening.

Either change the network company

or change the house.

Stupid.

Parag, isn't Keshav a bit weird?

Come on. I'm not joking.

He's very strange.

He uses all your things right

from your clothes...

...to your cell, to your shoes.

The other day he was

using your towel.

He should draw a line somewhere.

Relax, Mansi.

He's my roommate for the past

eight to nine months.

And all this is common

amongst guys.

As it is, he's not the only one

who is asserting his right...

...on my things without

taking my permission.

What do you mean? You idiot.

Say it again. - Idiot.

I'm perfectly okay with this,

Parag. - Do one thing. - Yes, sir.

Now, formulate this market plan.

Good evening, sir. - Good evening.

And, submit to me.

And, then we'll evaluate it.

- Not to worry. - Okay. - Okay.

Good evening, sir. - Good

evening, sir.

Yes, Keshav.

You'll never reform, will you?

You just met Mansi,

right? - Shut up.

Tell me something.

When are you giving

me the good news?

When are you getting married?

Are you mad? Not so soon.

This is just the beginning.

And anyways, I still have

a lot to do in life.

You're right.

I'm fed up of selling

cars, as well.

I'm thinking of doing something

different in life.

Start selling rickshaws.

What?

I'm just joking.

Come on, let's go. - Let's go.

It's a black car, BS 3254.

Come on.

Overtake from the left.

What's wrong? - Are the

police after us?

Come on, quickly.

Parag, drive faster. - Are you mad?

I said, drive faster.

- Are you mad?

You're drunk, but not me. - Don't

argue, just drive faster.

Keshav... - Stop.

Mane, call for the ambulance.

Sawant, check the car.

Bring the kit box.

What is it? - It's positive, sir.

There are two ways to handle

police interrogation.

The smart and sensible.

Admit it yourself, or the

police make you admit it.

Since, when have you been

dealing in this?

Sir, I... I'm not understanding,

sir.

I don't know what you're

talking about.

All that drugs. Of pure

international quality.

Since when have you two

been supplying it?

Sir... it's a misunderstanding, sir.

This doesn't belong to me, sir.

That bag isn't mine, either.

I was... returning from the office...

...and gave Keshav a lift, sir.

That's all, sir.

Let me tell you about myself, sir.

My name is Parag... - Dixit.

The regional manager at

Max Finance Company.

He's Keshav Rathod.

Sales Manager at DM car showroom.

Anything else?

Anything else?

He's just my roommate, sir.

Other than that, how will

I know what else he does?

How will you know?

You've been living with him

for the past eight months.

You two have been making

deals together.

You two leave from

Bandra together.

No, no, no sir... - Your roommate.

Keeps a revolver with him.

Aims his revolver at

police officers.

And, you say that you don't

know what he does.

Sir, sir I promise

I don't know sir.

The drug-peddlers of Mumbai

receive calls from your mobile.

Sir, phone? - Yes.

Sir, he'd always have

a network problem...

...that's why, he'd always

use my phone. - Yes.

I promise you, sir.

I'm innocent, sir.

Believe me, sir. I don't

know what he'd do.

Sir. The media is waiting outside.

Sir, please sir. Listen

to me, sir.

I really don't know, sir. - Sheik.

Sir... - Take a look.

Sir, please sir.

If he's willing to say anything.

- Sir, believe me, sir.

I don't know, sir. - Come on.

Sir, please. Sir, please.

- Come, lets have a chat.

Sir, please sir. - Come on, let's

have a chat. - Come on.

Sir, please sir.

Yes. - Sir, who were the persons

you encountered at Bandra.

Look, there were two people

involved in it.

One was Keshav Rathod.

The police shot him in

self-defence, he's in ICU.

And the other is Parag Dixit.

He works for Max Finance company...

...and, is now in our custody.

Sir, which drugs have you

found, and what quantity?

Look, the investigation is on.

And, we're going to present Parag

Dixit in the court tomorrow.

And, I think I can't tell you

anything more than that.

Sir, sir, sir please.

We're taking you to the court.

Do you want to talk to someone?

Give me the number.

Parag, what happened?

The news on the television.

Parag, mama is really worried.

She has already left from Delhi.

I'm also coming. - Mansi.

Don't worry, I'm coming Parag.

Parag, calm down, calm down.

You don't have to worry.

Parag, everything will be fine.

I'm coming.

Parag, Parag. Hello.

Rafiq Ayub Mullah.

22nd May.

Dixit Parag Manohar.

Your Lordship, this is a

very serious offence.

We need police custody.

PC for 14 days.

Illiyas Suryakant Mishra.

PC means police custody.

And, JC means judicial custody.

And, Parag has been given

14 days of PC.

That means, Parag will have to

stay in the police station...

...for 14 days, for investigation.

If he would've been given JC...

...they, would've shifted

him directly to jail.

But, that didn't happen.

I'll get a copy of the FIR.

And, only after carefully

studying it...

...I'll be able to tell you, what...

...I can do for you in this case.

Don't worry, until

the next hearing...

...I'll try my best to bail Parag.

Mr. Bhatia, your fees.

Well, Ms... - Mansi.

Actually, I charge 1-1.25

lakhs per hearing.

But don't worry.

I know you're middle-class

people like me.

I'll take 75, 000 from you.

This is 20,000 cash.

And, I'll give the rest

on the hearing day.

There was no need for this.

Don't worry, everything will

be fine. Absolutely.

Shall we?

Bye.

Thank you.

Mr. Tyagi, Parag Dixit has

been arrested with drugs...

...but, was he a drug

addict himself?

Look, Parag Dixit would

work in our office.

But, after 6 o'clock, what he

does in his personal life...

...whom does he meet, where does

he go, that's personal.

It's none of our business.

Look, the company has already

given a press release.

Whatever details you want...

...you'll get it in that

press release.

Thank you very much.

- But, Mr. Tyagi...

You must know something,

Mr. Tyagi.

Look madam, I cannot

let you see him.

This is a drugs case. - And,

we're investigating.

If you want to give him

clothes, then do so.

Just check the bag.

Which is Keshav's room? - Sir, I...

You wait here.

You wait here. Sheik.

Look there.

Is this Keshav?

Hey boy, tell me quickly.

Don't waste my time.

- I don't know.

Your friend carried a gun around,

and you don't know.

Sir, I... - You'll rot in

jail all your life.

Tell me, whom did you

sell the goods too?

Have you seen him before?

- Yes, his name is Keshav.

Come on. - Sir...

Come on.

Just answer me what I ask you.

Don't act too smart.

Don't worry, mama everything

will be fine.

Mother.

Son, are you fine?

Mother. - Don't worry, son.

Everything will be fine.

Everything will be fine.

It's okay.

You'll be soon out of this.

Don't worry.

Mr. Parag, hello.

Harish Bhatia. I'm your lawyer.

Don't worry, you'll

be absolutely fine.

I've handled many such cases.
