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.

I've read your FIR. Not to worry.

This is the agreement.

You've to sign on them.

One here and one at

the back. - Yes.

Here. And, here.

It's the police's job to apprehend

the criminals...

...and, our job is to get

the innocent released.

Just watch, how I bring

out the truth.

Sir, shall I leave?

Sheik. - Yes, sir.

What do you think about

Parag Dixit?

Sir, all the evidence

is against him.

And, then, when Keshav

comes out of ICU...

...and gives his statement, we'll

know the complete truth.

Let's continue our investigation.

Let's file a charge-sheet.

We'll see what verdict the

court gives. - Yes, sir.

Can I leave, sir? - Yes.

Your honour, 14 days

remand is over...

...and, we're requesting

for judicial custody.

Sir, I've filed application

for applicant.

And, the reply is

also filed today.

Continue.

Your Honour, applicant has

been falsely implicated.

Applicant was arrested on

6th April, from Bandra.

His roommate is involved

in this case as well.

He's behind all this.

At the moment, his roommate...

...is in a hospital, in

an unconscious state.

Applicant is innocent.

I'll like to also inform you sir...

...applicant works with Max

Finance, as regional manager.

His family is totally

dependant upon him.

And also, he belongs to

a well-educated family.

He's educated himself,

as well sir.

He has no antecedent.

He's innocent, sir.

So, I request this

court that the...

...applicant's bail request

please be granted.

Your reply. - May I please,

your honour.

Drug business does

not distinguish...

...between poor and rich.

We're suspecting a big

racket in this case.

A large quantity of drugs

has been seized.

And gun shots have been

fired at the police.

They're indulging in

narco-terrorism...

...which is big social evil.

Investigation is in

a crucial stage.

We still have to receive the

chemical analysis report.

At this stage, if the accused

is given bail...

...he may abscond, or tamper

with the evidence.

Hence, I request this

bail to be rejected.

The offence is serious in nature.

A large quantity of contraband

has been recovered...

...from his custody.

It is pertaining to note that...

...the accused has also fired

at the police party.

That is too serious.

The offence is anti-social.

There is a possibility of

the accused absconding.

No. - And hence, he's not

entitled for bail.

And, his application for

bail is rejected.

Sir, sir this isn't true sir.

Sir, please listen to me sir.

Sir, please listen to me. - No.

No. You've appointed a lawyer.

Talk to him.

Come on, come on.

Get in.

Come on, get in, get in.

Hurry up, quickly.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

Dude, would you like

to have a puff.

It's from Afghanistan.

You'll sleep soundly.

Okay. What've you been

arrested for?

Drugs. - Drugs?

Joking.

Lord, heed to me.

Allah, heed to me.

Lord, heed to me.

Allah, heed to me.

Solve the grievances in my life.

We're standing at

your threshold...

...for your benevolence.

That's all we request for.

Lord, heed to me.

Allah, heed to me.

Lord, heed to me.

Allah, heed to me.

Lord, heed to me.

Lord, heed to me.

Allah, heed to me.

Lord, heed to me.

Allah, heed to me.

Two, four, six, eight, ten,

twelve, fourteen...

Move. Slowly.

What about bathing?

- What about it?

Baba has arranged

for those drums...

...you can bathe in

that comfortably.

Not in this circus.

Come, let's pass some time.

See, bathing water is over.

Didn't I tell you? - Currently,

it's an inauspicious phase.

The water will get over. - And,

that's what happened.

Anna, forget about your forecast...

...and, listen to my poem. Listen.

Take a bath, try to clean your

body of all the dirt.

But yet, your body

won't be clean.

Because, this water

is from the jail.

Wow. - You didn't get it.

Come on, come on.

The water's finished, come

back at 4 o'clock.

Freshen up for now.

Kabir. - Yes.

When will Yaku be released?

He's in Nasik jail. - I see.

Baba has used his contacts.

It means with Baba's help

he'll be released easily.

I've even forgotten

why I came here.

Wife, children, relatives

mean nothing to me.

Do you know? - What?

This smarty is in jail for drugs.

He doesn't look so hardcore.

He's so soft.

Hey, get lost.

Come on. Run.

Kabir, they don't listen.

Chandu. - Yes. - Keep

it in two places.

Okay.

What's the use of running ahead?

The food is the same isn't it?

Smarty, come on.

Or else the food will also get

over, like the water. Hurry up.

Come.

The queue is moving so

slowly. - Move forward.

Come.

Anna, what does your forecast say?

Tell me. Which lentil will we

get today? - What do I know?

What kind of astrologer are you!

You don't know which lentil

is cooked today.

And you predict people's

future. - Keep quiet.

An inauspicious period is going

on. Anything can happen.

Got it? Move forward.

You taught him a lesson.

Move forward.

Go ahead.

Give me more lentils. - Okay.

Up! Up!

Keep the plate up.

Up! Up!

Go ahead.

They stay rooted to the spot.

Come on.

He's a lordly man.

Serve him royal food.

Forget it.

What are you looking at?

What happened?

What do I tell you, Nawab?

I explained to him. But

he doesn't listen.

God knows what will happen.

- Chandu. - Yes. - Chandu.

Chandu, tell him not

to waste food.

Forget it.

Wait for a few days. He'll reform.

'Many times we realise the

importance of basic things... '

'... only after it's

snatched from us.'

'It took Parag some time

to adjust in jail.'

'But I believe, an inmate

might not accept jail... '

'... but jail forms a bond

with the inmate.'

'Parag was waiting

for his freedom.'

'With this hope he started

living his life in jail.'

My business didn't do well.

To earn more money, I started

the business...

...of counterfeit dollar.

And I was put behind bars.

Galib, if I get hold of a mobile

from the dons inside...

...I'll start my match fixing

from here itself.

Everybody's problem

will be solved.

Desai, please give

me Rs.20 coupon.

I feel the urge to smoke.

Here. But in return,

collect my clothes...

...from the bed and wash

it. - Come on. - Okay.

This coupon?

The outside world operates

on money.

And jail operates on coupon.

If you want to buy

something, coupon.

If you want to lead

a luxurious life...

...if you want to extract work

from the constable...

...if you want to prolong

the meeting hours...

...in short, coupon acts

as money in jail.

Smarty, tell your family

to send you money order.

You'll also get coupons.

But the monthly limit is 1500.

Here, the one who has

the maximum coupons...

...he is the king.

But stay alert.

There are many who

steal the coupon.

Parag Dixit. - Yes. - Your name

is Parag Dixit, right?

Can't you hear? Someone has

come to meet you. Go.

Go. Go.

How are you?

How are you people?

We're fine. Don't worry

about us, Son.

You just look after yourself.

And Keshav?

Still in coma. There is

no recovery. But...

Sir, what about the bail?
