Check it again

Ok. No harm in checking.

What is going on?

They are checking

What are they checking?

It's complicated!

Forward it

Idiot! A little more!

That's it! Stop.

Guruji!

What's the result?

He's telling the truth!

What!

The cigar had left his mouth when...

Heard you the first time!

I'm not deaf!!

His telling the truth means

We made the mistake?

Take him away!

Guruji! Please! Forgive me!

I messed up! I'm sorry

Listen K...

It was a tough call! After all

Chaurasia is a little bit of a man

Such people always make

little mistakes...

But the benefit of doubt in all

likelihood must come to me

You can't do this!

One can't escape the inevitable

Let Anjali go!

She's gone! I've sent her away!

The body has already

been examined...

The Postmortem is finished!

The End

- But...

...you still owe me that one rupee!

She is killed by you, but the

cops are here to arrest me!

I've lost everything!

But all you f***ing want

is your bloody rupee...

Say whatever you will,

I've wronged you

Explain it to them...

Hello

Hello!

What is wrong?

Who were you talking to?

- Guruji!

Alex!

Not Alex

Guruji!

Where'd he go?

I spoke to him in front of you.

What are you looking at?

I called him in front of you!

I'll dial again

Please check the number

you've dialed.

How can it be?

That Hitler spawned son

of a b*tch, Guruji!

It's ok Mr. Just K.

You will have to come with us

Do I look like I have a

morbid sense of humour?

Come with us

Wait, I can prove it!

I can prove it!

Hello.

- Abbas!

Where are you? - Got the bad

news friend - My condolences!

What news!

How did you know?

From the bulletin. He's

sitting right across...

Please can you come over!

- Tell them!

Nobody here believes me!

You want me to come over?

Alright! I am coming...

He is coming!

- Who is coming?

My friend...

He had even lost his two fingers

after he went to Guruji...

Who is this guru-ji?

You know

I used to smoke a lot

And you feel the need to

relinquish the cigarette.

Yes.

Consider it done

Thank you for coming Abbas...

Tell them about The Laboratory!

What?

- Tell them!

Tell them what?

About Baba Bengali?

Who Baba Bengali?

Abbas!

I don't know what you're

talking about

You got me into this mess!

You got me into this bloody mess!

Show me the gloves!

What gloves?

Show me your fingers?

K... What are you doing?

- K...K stop it...

You are sick.

Show me your fingers?

- K... K stop it...

K... K stop it... - Here!! Have

a good long look. ok!!!

Here!

Ok!!

What are you doing to me?

- What am I doing?

What am I doing? K?

What am I doing? K?

Keep your mouth shut,

Don't utter a single word.

Or your life will turn into hell.

You won't be able to understand

what is going on.

Take care, K!

Take care of yourself!

Ok!

Bye!

"Kalkatta Carpets"

Please STOP him Sir!

I'm telling you there's

nothing down there!

I've been working here

the past 20 years!

I am telling you, there is a

stairway right below this...

...that opens out into

some Dharavi type slum

Right inside a veiled woman's house.

Awake?

You are the one who've passed out...

You want proof?

Where is my phone?

And a cigarette

Why don't I get a Black

Label along with it!

This is the only way

I am still in the program.

I'll light up and that

phone will ring.

I'll light this cigarette

and my phone will ring.

And someone will say that

my brother's disappeared.

"Take that drag"

"Take that drag"

"Take that drag"

"Take that drag"

"Take that drag"

"Take that drag"

"Take that drag of life"

"Blow away your strife"

"This world don't seem like much"

"Like a bubble to the touch"

"Why tip-toe on a bubble frail"

"On flowing water, flowing sail"

"Take that drag"

"Solitude's a choked fire"

"Prodded, poked, sleepless, stoked"

"Flickers invoke desire"

"Bunches red, of embers near-dead"

"Lit like fireflies in

the darkest cracks"

"Like burning eyes placed

on cinder stacks"

"It's a two-bit blaze for

a world of smoking"

"Its two world's smoke

for a life unspoken"

"This world don't seem like much"

"Like a bubble to the touch"

"Why tip-toe on a bubble frail"

"On flowing water, flowing sail"

"Take that drag"

Hello?

What happened?

Your brother just killed himself...

He was murdered...

...and it's all your fault

You are a co-accused

We are sorry

No. No.

Don't just be sorry!

You didn't believe me!

He committed suicide because

I smoked a cigarette.

And you were the one who forced

me to smoke a cigarette. - Hello.

Your brother left a note...

In which he holds you

responsible for his

non-existent lung

He blames you and your smoking...

He blames me...

He can't even write a word of Hindi

He lived in Germany.

He speaks German!

- He writes German!

How do you communicate with him?

Rather did?

- What?

How did you communicate with him?

What!

- How did you talk to him?

My mother worked in the Embassy

as an Interpreter...

Still does...

I must say...

He's fooling around!

Let's take him into custody

He'll be singing loud and

clear in four hours flat...

Okay.

Let's go.

This place is full of water.

If it won't flood in Bombay

where would it flood...

Rajasthan!!!

Hello!

This place is flooded!

You swim?

Hello!

Can you hear me?

Somebody get me out of here!

Is anybody here?

Keep your mouth shut,

he'll turn your life into

a living nightmare...

You won't know the difference...

...between when you are living

and when you are dreaming?

"In this jaundiced jungle,

flows a river of smoke"

"In this jaundiced jungle,

flows a river of smoke"

The last minute of the

passing year and...

...the next minute of

the coming year...

...is called as the 0 minute.

And each year for the people under

the program is a designated...

place where you can smoke depending

on which country you are in.

"My eyes that spoke, now wisps of

smoke, the light gives way to dark"

"There is nobody around.

I am very depressed..."

"My eyes that spoke,

now wisps of smoke...

...the light gives way to dark"

"There is nobody around.

I am very depressed..."

"There is a bit pain left.

Now it is habitual..."

"Smoke, stoke, smoke it"

"Smoke, stoke, smoke it"

"Smoke, stoke, smoke it"

"Smoke, stoke, smoke it"

"Smoke, stoke, smoke it"

"Smoke, stoke, smoke it"

"Smoke, stoke, smoke it"

"Smoke, stoke, smoke it"

"Smoke your life, smoke

away your senses"

"Smoke the weave of your

breath-laced offenses"

"Smoke, stoke, smoke it"

"Smoke, stoke, smoke it"

"This heady high, and

the whole world sways"

"This tongue-less lie

will speak anyways"

"Smoke the word that

scorches your lip"

"Smoke the ash of night to its tip"

"Smoke away the dark,

the night is smoke"

- 7...

And

You are no longer confined

to physical objects...

...aspects or surfaces that

contain within them.

You'll now experience the

power to identify a change.

It is a magic sensory feeling

that influences...

...a minor consequences

of your charity.
