make them commit murders.

Kabir, I've told you so many

times. I'm telling you again.

I'm not interested in you

or your goons. Got it?

Please try to understand,

Ms. Mansi.

This delay isn't because of me.

I'll be able to do something...

...only when his trial

begins in the court.

Next week the charge

sheet will be filed.

Once the charge sheet is filed...

...we can again apply for bail.

And yes, this time Parag

has good chances...

...of being granted bail

Thank you, sir.

Excuse me. - Yes.

Yes. Tell me, Pundit.

Yes, that custom case.

That case is weak.

The media has just hyped it.

Pundit, nowadays trials are

held less in the court.

And the media finishes the trial...

...in the newspaper and on the TV.

Fine. We'll talk in the evening,

in the club. Okay.

Ms. Mansi, today you were going

to give me the cheque.

Yes.

Here.

Rs.50000.

Mansi, the previous bill

is also pending.

I'll manage in two to three days.

Try to understand.

Give Rs.1000 to my PA.

Miscellaneous expenses.

- Yes. Sure.

There are so many visits

to the court.

Travelling allowance.

Okay, ma'am. - Thank you.

Okay, sir.

Sure. - Yes.

Thank you. - Yes.

Bye. - Bye.

Come.

Come on Come, I'll introduce

you to Baba.

No, no I... - Look, everyone

is dying to meet Baba.

And, I'm offering to take

you along. Come, come on.

Come on.

Tobacco king, Dipen Agarwal.

A businessman, that

earns billions...

...deals in illegal business too.

You think Baba is a fool.

20 million isn't a

big thing for you.

And, this isn't extortion money.

It is protection money.

For your well-being.

Explain it to your brother.

20 million isn't a big

thing for you both.

What?

But, in the jail... how? When?

You don't worry about that.

Samant. - Yes.

Take him to the side...

...and, talk to his brother about

the money. - Come on. - Yes.

Come on. Come on.

I'm telling you. Come

on. I'm with you.

Hello.

Kabir. Come, come. - Yes.

Take a seat.

This is Parag, I told

you about him.

He's been arrested in the drugs

case, isn't he? - Yes.

These matters take a long time.

He'll be spending a lot

of time in the court.

Kabir, he must be thinking...

...we live such a filmy

life here, isn't it?

Would you like to have watermelon?

Don't worry at all.

If you want anything in the jail.

You can tell me anytime.

Leave. - Yes, let's go.

Kabir. - Yes.

Come here.

You go on, I'll join you.

Yes. - He's a decent boy.

Don't bring such people here.

I need courageous boys,

that can go out...

...and get my work done, like you.

Get that. - Yes.

Go.

Parkhya. Give me some

watermelon. - Yes.

What did you talk about?

Nothing... he said, if there's any

problem, then let me know.

Stay as far as possible from them.

They promise to give

you many things.

But in the end, they can give

you nothing more than...

...a police bullet or some

jail like this one.

Nawab, can I ask you why

you've been arrested?

Murder.

Everything else is fine.

Keshav. - No recovery.

Yes, but the lawyer

is very hopeful.

He was saying that you've bright

chances of getting bail.

Parag, you... miss me?

Take care. Bye.

Hey fatso, come on. Hurry up.

Come on, get in.

Come on. - Hurry up.

Come on. Hurry up.

Get in, get in. Get in. - Get in.

It's a terrible situation. - Yes.

What the hell?

Hey fatso, move.

Get out of my face.

Pay attention here,

it's your chance.

Get out of my face

you stinking pig.

It's become more crowded

since the past two days.

Isn't it. - The monsoons

have set in.

In Mumbai, the number of people

that sleep on streets...

...are more than, that in houses.

Rather than dying by getting

drenched in the rain...

...or by drowning in some

drain, it's better...

...to commit some petty crime,

and get thrown in here.

You get food, clothing and

shelter in the jail.

Isn't it? - Of course.

Play, Pillu.

Dude, I'm sitting here

for sometime.

What the hell.

God knows who was sitting

besides me... that smell.

He's stinking.

I feel like throwing up.

Two more days.

After two day, my case

will be heard.

And, I'm out of this mess.

For the past eight months, this

place has been ruining me.

So bad. God.

Look at them.

Just look at them.

From here to the streets...

...they're scattered around

like insects.

And then, they blame me.

What did I do?

I'd two pegs at the party.

I was driving my car. - It

slightly misbalanced.

I met with an accident.

And, the next day, headlines.

Joe D'Souza crushes six people.

Hit and run.

Did I... did I tell them to

live on the streets?

I tell you dude, these

people deserve it.

They freaking deserve it.

Buggers.

When is your hearing? - Tomorrow.

Good luck. Party in red? Okay.

Aslam Sheikh, Parag Dixit.

Pillu, I'm leaving. - Okay.

Uncle. - Don't forget us.

I'm leaving.

You'll get bail today. - Thank you.

At least listen to my poem

before leaving. - Yes.

I pray that even my enemies

are never jailed.

Congratulations on your freedom,

we'll meet someday.

See you.

Come on, yes come.

Move forward. - What is your

name? - Mandoor Bhatti.

Go on.

What is your name? - Parag

Manohar Dixit.

Manohar Dixit. Go on.

Nawab, I'm leaving.

Take care of yourself.

Look, there comes Parag.

Mother. Mansi.

What's wrong?

Parag... Keshav is no more.

May it please the court.

The applicant's charge

sheet has been filed.

Investigation is over now.

Sir, there's no matter found

in the charge sheet...

...that proves, that the

bag of drugs found...

...from the applicant's

car belonged to him.

It is just an assumption.

And it's a very unfortunate

coincidence.

Deceased accused, Mr. Keshav

Rathod...

...was the applicant's roommate.

And, was with him on. The

night of the incident.

The applicant is absolutely

innocent, sir.

He won't jump bail.

He has a job and a family

to look after.

So, I request the court to

please grant him bail.

Thank you.

What do you've to say?

Your Honour, I'd like

to tell the court...

...that, the defence is trying

to shift the entire blame...

...on the deceased accused,

and taking advantage...

...of Keshav Rathod's death.

If the accused is given bail,

there's a possibility...

...that, after being released

he might try...

...to tamper with the evidence.

And most importantly, he'll

try to influence or harm...

...the prime witness.

I request the court, to reject

the bail application.

Thank you, My Lord.

Firing at the police is

a serious offence.

And, it cannot be overlooked.

I agree with the prosecution that,

the accused may try to...

...influence or harm the

prosecution's prime witness's...

...and tamper the evidence.

After the prime accused's death.

The accused is the only one...

...through whom, this case can

reach a logical outcome.

Therefore, I'm going to reject

the application for bail.

The night is pitch-black.

The day is dark too.

The night is pitch-black.

The day is dark too.

Keep me... under Your refuge.

Be the benefactor of my life.
