The R.K Puram sex scandal,

Jammu and Kashmir sex scandal.

Your daughter is now part of

a big sex scandal!

Sir, please suggest a way out.

How much do you earn?

Around 8 to 10 thousand rupees.

She earns as well, right?

Yes... at a computer

coaching institute

I won't beat around the bush.

Abetment...

media, court...

I can handle all of that.

But you'll have to

make arrangements

3 lakh rupees.

I'm giving you 3 months.

Sir, you've got us wrong.

We're principled people.

We can hardly manage 50,000 rupees!

From now on...

never ever...

ever... negotiate with me.

Am I selling you a bloody soap?!

I'm hereto save your honour

I have your daughter's sex

scandal video on my phone.

One upload and the whole city

will get off on your daughter!

Arrange 1 lakh Rupees in two days.

Don't just nod like a horse!

What will you do?

in two days.

And, after 2 months?

2 lakh Rupees.

Is the math really that hard?

Where to Madam?

- To the cremation ghat.

- It's forbidden for women.

Hit the skull hard, 5 times.

Deepak, give him a hand.

Piyush! My son!

Harder! Smash the skull

to release the soul!

How many more days

left in college?

Two more months, Dad.

Then exams and placements!

- What?

- I mean job placements.

Don't you need to

pay something to get a job?

Not anymore, Mother.

The Railway and Electric companies...

hire on merit.

Instead of supervising the ash cleaning,

you're feasting here?

What if the boys steal the

silver?

Uncle Shambhu is supervising it.

Shambu is a pothead!

So? Am I not even

supposed to eat?

How much will the job pay?

They will let me know

after the interview.

Great! Get out of this place.

The sooner, the better.

Otherwise, even your life will

end up torching bodies.

Bread!

Look what I found,

I think it's silver!

Show me!

Throw it you fool. It's aluminium.

Will you ever explain yourself?

I met him at the coaching center

I used to type out his thesis...

and we became friends.

That's all?

Yes, I felt nice talking to him.

Did you even think twice

before doing it?

Even once?

Did you?

Answer me!

What?

- Cat got your tongue?

- I don't know.

A boy just killed himself.

A ransom of 3 lakhs on our heads

l just broke my 1 lakh Rupees

xed deposit.

You're one step away from jail...

and you say "l don't know"

I shed out 26 Rupees.

Please, let me be part

of the competition.

Are you actually asking me

to let you gamble?

It's not gambling!

It's sport and

I have become a pro at it.

Why are you acting so smart?

Today I will play, no matter what.

Why don't you shut up

and do some work!

Got screwed over by a bull or what?

Pooja looks so pretty with the teddy.

Cute, isn't she?

Can you ask

for her friend's name?

How would I ask?

"My friend has a crush

on your poetry-reading friend...

give me her name

so he can ask her out?"

OK, how about we send

her a written request?

Deepak is getting

emotional about her.

Like they say...

"Shake the mango all night,

it'll only fall off the tree

when it's time is ripe".

What is that noise there?

Okay, listen...

do you remember what

she looks like?

- Sure?

- Yes.

Okay.

This is her college group page.

She's got to be here.

Won't you nd her

in Pooja's album?

Of course! She'll be in

Pooja's friend list.

Is that her?

No.

There... there... That's her!

Shaalu Gupta.

Gupta family, eh?

Awesome, dude!

Now create your Facebook account

and let the reworks begin!

I mean send her a friend request.

Should we?

Yeah.

Come one, come all, make big money!

Here's the super competition!

In half an hour, increase your gain!

10 rupees turns to 50! 50 turns to 200!

Now listen to the rules.

These kids will dive in

and bring out coins!

Bet on the boy you think

will get the most coins.

Great! We have your 20 Rupees on Lokua.

Don't think twice!

Just place your bets!

20 Rupees on Netwa.

The competition is about to begin!

1... 2...

Now let's see who

gets the most coins!

Lokua has 3 coins!

- Netwa, hurry! Faster!

- Babua's got only one coin this time.

Let's see who's winning...

Munna has 6 coins in one dive.

Hold your breath folks.

- Please let me join in!

- No, just watch.

Those who've bet on Netwa,

Hello?

Hello Devi?

Yes?

Where were you hiding

your phone all this while?

You think l am an idiot?

I know what dirty

business you've been upto.

Bloody witch...

Move!

Hey!

What are you doing here?!

Who let you in?

I came hereto collect my stuff...

and if you make those lthy calls again,

I'll thrash the hell out of you!

He was our top student!

Weren't you ashamed to do it?

Whatever it was, we both

were equally involved.

But he was the only one to die.

Sikandar!

Thrust the leg into the

pyre, you idiot!

Sikandar!

Looks like the old man is drunk.

Pour me another drink

'King of the Doms'!

One more for your health!

Do I look like a king to you?

Come on! There are only

two kings in Banaras!

One is Kashi Naresh and

the other is the Dom king.

One on that side...

and one on this side.

Look at that miserable Shambu.

How many 'bonus days' in a year?

Hey! Shambu!

Yes, sir!

Once every 10 years.

Shambhu gets a 'bonus day'

every 10 years!

Meaning?

That day...

he gets all the money

from every cremation here.

Shambu's father...

got his 'bonus day' once in a year.

Overjoyed by that,

he had ten children.

The 'bonus day' got split.

Since the father

had one day in a year...

Shambhu inherited

a tenth of the 'bonus day'

Now he has one every 10 years.

When is your next 'bonus day', Shambu?

Never again

I sold my rights to Lala.

He gave me 1 lakh Rupees for it.

I'll live the rest of my life off alms.

If l sell my 'bonus day'...

I'll get over 10 lakh Rupees.

Right, lala?

As if you are ever going

to sell it to me.

Should we sell?

Asking your ignorant son?

He has nothing to do with

our cremation ghat!

He's nothing but an educated fool!

You're insulting my son?

I'll never sell my 'bonus day' to you!

As if you'd ever think to do so!

Father, I need some money.

For the Durga Puja Carnival.

There, in my shirt.

May I take 300 Rupees?

Take as much as you want.

You're the only one!

Are you going to the Durga puja

carnival tonight?

20 rupees.

Put the watch in the hat.

Easy! Right inside.

Now it's inside.

Now blow into the hat.

The watch has...

vanished!

The watch will re-appear...

in someone's pocket.

He has it!

Man in the red shirt!

Check your pockets.

He found the watch.

Come on stage, young man!

- Your name?

- Deepak

I'll never smoke again.

Yesterday, my friends forced me to

I deserve at least 12,000 a month

with my qualications.

Don't negotiate.

He was my best student.

Professor taught us

till 10th grade.

It's thanks to him

that we are what we are.

Tea, please.

No thank you, I have to go...

and nish the book translation.

Glass of water?

From the earthenware pot
