Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Page #8

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.

make a sacrifice.

This mammoth city... is in

the palm of my hand.

It's a known fact.

The guns are blazing.

We march ahead with

a bold heart.

This is our time.

It's a cocktail of

cash and comfort.

We're underground.

But everything's

available here.

Baburao's having a ball.

He's having a ball.

Baburao's having a ball.

He's having a ball.

We didn't have a penny

in our pockets.

Now there's a sea of

wealth before us.

We're the uncrowned king

of the underworld.

If anyones stops us...

...we kill him

...and bury him.

Everthing is adjusted.

But everything's

available here.

Baburao's having a ball.

He's having a ball.

Sultan, i've arranged for a

rally in your area next week.

We'll announce that you've

joined our party.

Prepare yourself.

There'll be poster all over.

For votes and not wanted.

The world's a selfish place.

It's a thankless world.

No one feels compassionate

for you.

We snatch whatever we like.

We rule this place.

The entire system is right

under our feet.

Live carefree.

The guns are blazing.

We march ahead with

a bold heart.

Everyone standing

back in the line.

But we're first.

We're underground.

But everything's

available here.

Baburao's having a ball.

He's having a ball.

He's having a ball.

Baburao's having a ball.

He's having a ball.

Those who make promises on

the bed often forget.

I'm different.

You're dance as good

as you love.

Stay close.

I'll make you an actress.

You took so long to return.

You know how the government

functions.

The minister has organised

a rally in our area.

Just watch, soon my car will

have flashing red-light as well.

You're a murderer!

Return me my son!

He died after drinking

your poisonous liquor.

He's dead.

You killed him, you did!

You will never live peacefully.

You'll rot. - Shoaib.

Murderer.

You will rot in hell.

Singhania has been

waiting outside.

A man makes big when

people wait for him.

Go and send him after a while.

Close down all your business

before i kill you.

You can dress up like me...

...but you can never be me.

Patrick, i want the city clean.

Stop it, shoaib, don't

drink anymore.

He shouldn't have slapped me.

When i was a child...

...father compelled me to go

against him when he slapped me.

I'm no longer a child

nor is he my father.

I thought he respects me

more than his father.

That's why i entrusted

the business to him.

But deceit is his nature.

He deceived his father,

he deceived me...

...he'll deceive mumtaz...

one day he'll deceive this city.

It was my fault.

I thought we'll rule together.

But there can be only one king.

I made him my soldier...

...but he's out to be the

king of the city.

Sultan doesn't own the city...

...that everyone has to

follow his orders.

Wardhan wanted to do something,

he stopped him.

I wanted to do something,

he stopped me.

He's been bitten by

the political bug.

Wants to be a minister.

This business will only be

controlled by the bullet...

...and not lectures.

He committed murders for money.

It's difficult to

control people...

...that are addicted

to bloodshed.

That means it's impossible

to stop shoaib now.

Shoaib, think before

moving ahead.

Could this be the wrong path?

This is my path, my decision...

...and this city will

be mine as well.

Get that.

What's wrong with you, shoaib?

I'm scared of you.

What are you saying?

I thought you're different.

But now i feel i don't

know you at all.

Who are you, shoaib?

If i answer this question...

...then your question

will feel bad.

Enough of question and answers.

Now i want to see...

...whether he confronts

me or backstabs me.

Bad thoughts crop up in

the mind at night.

Go and sleep. - Stay awake.

I'll come back if i can't sleep.

Where are you going, sultan?

We'll come along.

'You can dress up like sultan

mirza but can't be one.'

Come in.

You're the enemy.

Your friend has raised

his hand on you...

...and i'm extending mine.

Don't think, take a seat.

Sultan is scared of

your progress.

He knows you'll pave

your own way.

That's why he wants

to suppress you...

...instead of encouraging you.

He's afraid of changes.

But... if we've to move ahead...

...we'll have to get sultan

out of the way.

The decision is yours.

Remember... those who don't

keep pace with time...

...lose the opportunity.

Sultan's death will

be just as grand.

Tomorrow's his rally.

But there won't be

any commotion...

...just mourning silence.

But remember... if sultan

survives we'll be dead.

What's wrong, dear?

He's gone to kill sultan.

Do something, stop

him. I'm scared.

Go home, i'll do something.

The government also indulged

in illegal activities...

...when you thought of

entering politics.

By letting you enter.

Agnel sir, when we

can be friends...

...then why take up enmity.

Now i've befriended the

government as well.

If you don't stop your

illegal activities...

...then your new friend will

make you pay dearly.

A man doesn't do bad deeds...

...to make the situations worse,

but to make it better.

And you will certainly notice a

change in your circumstances.

There will be water for everyone

and food to eat.

You mean everyone should resort

to illegal means...

...to make his condition better?

Sir...

someone has to become

sultan mirza...

...so that not everyone resorts

to illegal means.

By helping some people you think

you've become a messiah.

Our party has chosen one

of your sympathisers.

And he is... sultan mirza.

Glory to... - sultan mirza!

Glory to... - sultan mirza!

Glory to... - sultan mirza!

Glory to... - sultan mirza!

Glory to... - sultan mirza!

Glory to... - sultan mirza!

As a child whenever i would

hear such addresses...

...i would feel like pelting

stones at the minister.

Glory to... - sultan mirza!

The rich never gathered hearing

these loudspeakers.

It draws only the poor.

Thinking that today someone will

say something of their interest.

But nothing happened

until today.

People kept silent after

finishing their speeches...

...and we kept screaming.

Agnel sir.

They're going to kill

sultan. - What?

Glory to... - sultan mirza!

Who? - Shoaib.

Sultan won't step down we

will have to stop shoaib.

Shoaib, stand near the desk

and keep your eyes open.

Take your men and

come from behind.

Independence was only

for the rich.

The rest are still slaves.

Earlier it was the british... and

now its poverty.

Glory to... - sultan mirza!

Glory to... - sultan mirza!

Glory to... - sultan mirza!

Leave me.

Not every book makes

it to the library.

Some are found at the old-paper

mart as well.

We're like those books.

Who else is with you?

Tell me. - There's one more.

Come on.

Till today you came up to me...

...when everyone turned you down.

Neither the police nor

the government.

And then approached me.

But now... you can approach

me first.

Mother, i want a pistol.

- There's one at home.

Mother, i want that one.

I'm only changing my way
