I had a meeting with a producer.

I wanted to read out the script to him.

My script is in the bag

and the bag is at the shop.

And the shop is locked

because of a man and a woman.

They too are locked inside the shop.

I'm fed up! I won't use

the word lock ever in my life.

Look.. Be smart and say something smart.

Tell me, how do we get them out of there?

Get them out?

As if they are stuck in a war.

I suggest, lift the shutter a little

and get my bag out so that I can leave.

Don't do that. Be a nice man

and give me the right advice.

Tell you what. Cover your face

and check out the situation at the market.

Why cover my face?

Won't you get recognized

if you go like this?

You are the first one

everybody will ask about Gill.

Where he is and why!

You blabber a lot but you

sometimes say sensible things too.

I will park the rickshaw in a corner

with you in it

and will go alone in a bus.

Why are you honking?

Boss, it is fun to honk.

You actually feel that something happened.

Then why don't I hit your head

with a spanner instead?

It will be great fun and I'll actually

feel that something happened

when the blood would

ooze out of your head.

He wants fun!

Nonsense!

Stop it!

Boss, this time, it happened on its own.

Then, something must be wrong

with the wiring.

Check it.

There is nothing to eat or drink here.

Will we die of starvation?

Please don't add to my worries.

I don't know.

- But I know.

Please.. Please!

It is the question of my life.

Please! Please..

- Let me go.

Please..

- Let me go.

Please..

- I won't stay here a minute longer.

Please don't do this. Please!

- Let me go.

You scared me!

I will teach you a lesson now.

What are you doing?

Do your job properly! - Boss..

Thami, how many times have I told you

to nail the scooter inside the shop!

Look, it pierced into

the poor girl's foot.

Sir, first of all, scooters don't have

nails, they have nuts and bolts.

Secondly, nuts and bolts don't pierce.

Thirdly, I don't think she is hurt.

I think, it is paint

and she is just scared.

I think, it is paint.

Is it hurting, dear?

- No.

But girl, how did your foot

get covered in paint?

Boss, the paint is coming

out of Gill's shop.

Look at this.

- Yes. What nonsense!

Pammi, go at the back

and look through the window

why the paint is spilling out.

Okay, sir.

Sir, the paint box has fallen.

You know what?

Go to Mr. Gill's house and get the keys.

We will clean it before he comes.

Okay, sir.

Sir, it isn't opening.

I think, it's the wrong key.

What are you doing?

You brought the wrong key?

Okay, so the shop was closed

but there was a crowd

gathered outside the shop.

Right?

- Yes.

Was the crowd trying to open the shop?

May be or may be not.

I cannot say for sure.

Did you see police amidst the crowd?

I mean was police also there?

Police?

They may or may not have been there.

I cannot say for sure.

What do you think, they must

have taken Gill and that girl out?

Or were they still inside?

Well, about them..

They might have taken them out

or they might still be inside.

I cannot say for sure.

First of all,

tell me what you can say for sure.

For everything, you are saying,

I cannot say for sure.

What information have you got,

you great spy?

I am getting a phone call.

- Answer it.

It is from Gill's house.

- Don't answer it.

Don't.

Don't answer it just yet.

Please..

Please don't add to my problems.

Please..

Why did I get Gill into trouble?

That poor guy isn't like that.

Oh, really?

If he wasn't like that, then even if you

had made the most gorgeous actress

stand in front of him,

he wouldn't have looked at her

as he'd know that his wife

would skin him alive.

We got into another mess.

It wasn't so.

Oh, of course not!

Just a look from the girl

made this guy forget

all of his innocent nature.

Nonsense! You too are like him.

You are regretting your mistake today.

I agree that I made a mistake.

But I am taking pity on Gill.

He is a family man.

Okay, so you don't feel pity on the girl?

She is something different.

What about her family?

Won't they be worried?

She hasn't returned home since last night.

Such girls return home

only in the morning.

You have a beautiful house.

Your wife also seems like a nice lady.

Why did you need to do all this?

You know, I too had a house.

My mother passed away

and my dad married another woman.

She never liked me.

I wanted to study

and become someone important.

But I don't know what she told my father

that he made me quit studies

and got me married.

I didn't get along with my husband.

So I..

Forget that.

You tell me, don't you know anyone

who will help us get out of here?

I have a friend..

Though there is nothing

between us as yet..

I cannot call him here.

Don't worry, Bhola will come back.

I am sure he is waiting

for the shops to close for the day.

How are you?

Good. How are you?

- Hello.

I am doing good.

I heard, there was a high-level meeting

called against me last night.

And master was also a part of it.

No, Thami.

No such meeting took place.

You know that every night

we get together here to drink.

Jassa, the driver.. He instigates Gill.

You know how easily he can get instigated.

If you say,

shall I stall this with a compromise?

Well, Gill isn't willing.

This is his ego talking.

If there is money in the pocket,

then intentions go bad.

A person begins to think he is above God.

Master, have you seen my son, Bhola?

He hasn't returned home since last night.

We were together last night, drinking.

I had a few drinks and left.

Gill wanted to drink some more.

They might have left to buy more alcohol.

Even Gill is nowhere to be seen

since morning.

If you don't know where Gill is,

how would you know where Bhola is!

Dear, if you see him anywhere,

pass my message to him.

What is it, sir?

Tell him, open a wine shop instead.

It is a good business.

People leave homes even in the

middle of the night to buy alcohol.

But dear, they come back home too.

He is the only one who keeps wandering.

Oh, yes, sir..

One passenger had forgotten his bag

in the rickshaw.

He might have gone to return it.

Bhola is the only one pulling him forward.

You know that Gill doesn't

use his own brains.

He is fawning him,

so that he takes him to Dubai.

As if he will take him.

He himself made it there

with great difficulty.

Let me tell you..

Bhola is a fool.

Bhola's father is right to complain.

By dangling a carrot

of taking him to Dubai

Gill is treating him like a slave.

I heard he wants to marry

his daughter to him.

Really?

- That girl is of loose character.

A boy comes to their house, openly.

Even her mother doesn't oppose.

This is what my wife also says.

Even the mother is like that.

Have some shame.

Even a witch spares her own family.

You are backbiting about your own friend!

Gill really doesn't use his brains.

If he would have heard you talk
