Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Page #3

Synopsis: During March 1993, after his Ambassador car is being fished out of water, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Agnel Wilson, narrates to the Commissioner as to how he commenced his investigation against an underworld gangster, Sultan Mirza. He details how Sultan had survived floods in Madras, shortly after Independence; his arrival in Bombay; and his employment which earned him a mere 25 Paisa daily. Agnel's attempts to rein in Sultan fail, but he keeps tabs on him and his romance with Bollywood actress, Rehana; as well as his new recruit, Shoaib, the son of Sub-Inspector Khan. Agnel will find his investigation slipping out of his hands after Sultan temporarily delegates complete responsibility to Shoaib.

I chanted only you.

I sung only about you.

I finally found you.

I hid you from everyone.

You were my only dream.

I dreamed only about you.

You entered my life and

made it complete.

I dream only about your love.

Now my days and nights are

filled with glitters.

You entered my life and

made it complete.

I finally found you.

God brought me closer to you.

I chanted only you.

I sung only about you.

I finally found you.

You have made my life.

You were my only dream.

I dreamed only about you.

The distance isn't romantic.

Let me hide you in my arms.

You are on top of my

list of my desires.

Everyday i wish to meet you.

I won in love but

lost my heart.

You entered my life and

made it complete.

This is the time when i

was posted in mumbai.

Mumbai is always gripped

with darkness.

And this darkness also houses...

...some dangerous people.

Shoaib.

Where are you going?

Where are you posted

today? - Bandra.

For the first time you're

headed the right way.

I'm going that way as well.

Take a look.

You hit this one.

Father. - What?

See you.

Father's been posted

here tonight.

Should we postpone

it for tomorrow?

If i postpone it for tomorrow...

...then today day will feel bad.

Come on.

What's the job?

What are you doing?

What do you want?

What do you want?

Look, you've been

badly thrashed.

You can't go home in

this condition.

Do you see that house? - Yes.

Go there, ring the bell

call the doctor...

...and keep the door open.

Come on.

Save me. Save me.

Who is it at this late

hour? Take a look.

Who are you? What happened?

They're beating me, save

me. - Who is he?

Save me.

It's paining.

They both thrashed me.

This is expensive.

How is it, ma'am?

Show me that one.

This.

This is the latest design.

They're nice, but i can't

make up my mind.

Shoaib.

You can't understand

which one to buy...

...and i don't understand you.

Get lost. - What?

Get lost.

Shoaib, what are you doing?

Wait, ma'am.

If you don't leave...

...l'll strip of the jewellery

that you're wearing.

Shoaib, what are you doing?

What is this insolence?

- No, ma'am.

Please sit, take a look... - i

don't want to be slandered.

Ma'am. Ma'am.

She's aged yet she wants

buy jewellery.

Ma'am. Ma'am...

you'll never reform.

This is the age to be spoilt.

Don't spoil yourself

so much that later...

...you won't be able to reform.

- I haven't even...

...spoiled myself completely yet.

And you're trying to reform me.

Just tell me why you're here.

Do you want to sell it?

- I want to adorn it.

Who? - Her.

You.

Who did you steal it from?

What did you say?

You think i'm a thief!

I cut people's throat.

Fine, i don't want

to give it to you.

Shoaib.

Fine, don't get angry.

Leave my hand.

Where else will you

go if i leave you?

Sho... shoaib, what are you doing?

Spoiling myself.

Shoaib. - You can reform me.

Couldn't you wait until evening?

If i had waited until evening

this morning would've felt bad.

Shoaib.

Shoaib, leave.

Agnel, you've to eradicate crime

and not just stop it.

The mafia's in bombay

and they're growing.

If they aren't stopped...

...then no one will be

able to do anything.

Just five men who aren't evenly

formally educated...

...yet they control

the entire city.

Their reach is better than

national television.

Any personal enmities?

- There could've been.

But sultan never let

there be any.

He divided them to

bring them closer.

You do know her, don't you?

Everyone knows her.

Famous film-star rihana.

What's more popular is...

...these days she's getting too

personal with sultan mirza.

Everyone else keeps

a low profile.

But sultan's in the

news everyday.

Think about it.

The youth today that have

to move mountains...

...for a small job.

For them sultan is god.

Follow his path...

...and bungalow, car, film-star

will follow.

The crime world might be filled

with comforts, sir...

...but they all lead to the jail.

It's not easy to put

him behind bars.

The task can be difficult, sir

but it's never impossible.

You leave it to me, sir.

Good luck.

Ramu. Moti.

Where is everyone?

Why isn't there any light

in the house? - Cut.

Who said cut?

Full lights.

Who said cut when i'm present?

Take the camera.

Seal everything.

Get everyone in the

line, come on.

What's all this?

Who are you?

First you say cut now you're

giving out directions...

...who are you?

This isn't a movie scene

but a governmental raid.

And the government has appointed

me to direct it.

Acp agnel wilson. Bombay police.

Stop everything, come on.

Sir, madam is refusing

to stand in the queue.

She's no ordinary person,

murli, but the boss.

Sultan mirza's favourite.

So she's bound to be egoistic.

There's no point in showing

attitude to me.

I'll believe it only if you do

the same before sultan mirza.

I'm sure sultan mirza

will hear...

...about my attitude

and my message.

We've strong evidence

to prove that...

...rihana's lover sultan mirza is

investing in all her films.

Sultan hasn't earned this money

through right means.

So a movie made from illegal

money is illegal as well.

Stop everything. - No,

please don't do this.

I'll suffer losses

worth millions.

If you want to restart shooting

your film... - yes.

Then next time cast a star...

...that doesn't have any contacts

with smugglers.

Even better if he hates them.

Otherwise, your films

will begin...

...but i won't let them end.

Come on, stop everything.

Madam, we still haven't

received permission...

...so the shooting has

been cancelled today.

Its either the location or

scripts not finalised

and sometimes the hero

doesn't give dates.

So the shooting's cancelled

today as well.

Fine.

For me this is just like

betraying the country for you.

It's better to be disloyal

than betray the country.

Love means more then

me than being loyal.

Then what are you doing here?

Staying alive is much

more important.

A person's weakness is far

greater than his strength.

You're sultan's weakness.

And your weakness is acting.

You had me sacked

from two films.

You won.

Have you got the evidence?

What other motive can

i have to meet you?

Here.

What's inside?

Lts sultan darkest secrets.

Quickly take a peek inside...

...before someone sees

me with you.

Please. Please, don't print

this photograph...

...otherwise everyone will know...

...this inspector has accepted

bribe to leave me alone.

That's front page news, madam.

It'll be published.

Oh, god. Please move.

Move. Let me go.

At least tell us the reason for

bribing the acp. - Let me go.

Jai hind, sir.

Aunt.

You always bring me good luck.

How is your son?

He's growing up just like

the inflation is.

Think about your son and

not the inflation.

Get him educated.

I'm there.

You do so much for me.

Just pray for me.

Sultan. He turned out

to be very cunning.

Agnel sir never realised

what hit him.

A cheap newspaper tarnished

his honour.
