You have worked for me all these years...

I'll give it to you.

Three days.

Give me cash in three

days and take the stuff.

Fine?

72 hours.

Else, you get zilch!

Keep it.

The clock will keep ticking.

Your turn.

Why did you shoot

your mouth off?

If we don't pay up in three days,

jairaj will destroy us, you know that.

Salaam aleikom, raees.

Waleikom asalaam, qasim bhai.

The car's a cracker!

It costs 100,000. Want to buy?

Forget it. This motorbike

is fine with me.

Try it once. It

rides like a plane!

Next time. Bye. Move it!

God keep you.

- Hey!

- Careful!

You'd have killed it!

Who will compensate for it?

Lallan, you idiot!

He's not even hurt!

What if he was hurt?

Would you pay me 500? 500 bucks?

I'll buy his entire

family for 500!

It's the time of eid.

I bought it for 300.

It won't sell below 500 to 1000 here.

You know that?

Move it, lallan.

Don't mess my brains!

Is he going to build

a castle out of it?

Hey... where do you

think you are going?

Where to? Tell me...

Raees, you're back so soon?

My mind just worked up a miracle.

Let's see what your car's got.

Sadiq, hop in.

Give me the keys, qasim.

Take care. Drive only

till the square and back.

It's a car, not a date.

Relax. I'm leaving my

motorbike behind. Hop in.

Careful.

Raees.

Hey, speak up. What's the plan?

You bartered your motorbike for the

car, and now the car for the goats.

Are you setting up

a slaughterhouse?

As lallan said, it's eid.

People even pay 1000 for a goat.

1000?

Who will pay 1000

here in fatehpura?

Not in fatehpura but in Mumbai.

We're going to Mumbai?!

We have to pay 100,000 to jairaj in

three days. Do you have a better plan?

Do you have one?

Ask him.

Excuse me. Where can

we set up shop?

- Over there.

- Up ahead.

- Herd them ahead.

- Move.

Over there.

Salaam aleikom. Waleikom salaam.

Can we set up shop

in the corner?

- Whose goats are they?

- Mine.

Do you have the permission?

Permission...? No.

Where have you come from?

From gujarat.

Pick up your goats and get lost.

Beat it.

We'll set up by the corner.

Hey! Don't you get it?

Brother, it's eid.

We'll also make some money.

You'll have our blessings.

If we slaughter you along with

the goats, we'll be blessed.

Raees, it's not our territory. Come on.

Hey, foureyes!

Can't you hear?

Get out of here!

Darn!

Foureyes needs a hearing-aid now!

Hey, four-eyes!

Never call me four-eyes!

Let's go. Musa is waiting.

Man is always accompanied

by an angel and the devil.

Anger is evil because

it's the devil's forte.

Your boys started it.

We were here to do business.

Your goats made

for great biryani.

What have you to sell now?

A goat is a lion's

prey, not business.

Well,

no business is small.

And no faith is greater

than any business.

My mother taught me.

My loss is great, and I have

little time to compensate.

I have a right to

their blessings.

If you agree, we'll

take it and leave.

Come here.

Your glasses.

It'll help you see

the road ahead.

Musa bhai...

Can we get a plate

of biryani to share?

We're hungry.

For all the festivities around,

we'll be observing a fast, darn it!

Forget jairaj. How will

you repay mechanic qasim?

What is it? Do we

look like clowns?

They made a circus out of us!

And here you are eating away!

The biryani is worth 100,000.

You should have some.

I could eat a horse!

Well, you hardly took a beating.

You deserve a lesser share.

Stop kidding. They

crushed my stomach.

Ace, we have 3475 in all.

What do I do with it? Shall

i give it to jairaj?

Or, repay qasim?

Ice your wounds.

Creditors come knocking

even before we set up shop!

Darn, you followed us here?

Haji bhai sent me from

Mumbai, to talk business.

Let him in. Come on.

Tell me.

Reason for the favour?

Take musa out.

I hold nothing against musa.

And we don't kill. Right?

Listen up.

If I wanted to take orders, I wouldn't

have set out to start a business.

Take the money and scoot.

Move it.

Musa sent it for you.

He told us to kill musa, and

now he says he's musa's man.

Who are you?

The name's nawab

I'm musa's man Friday.

You could've given it

to me in the train.

Sure.

But musa likes to

test the waters.

Raees, don't take the money!

In trying to smite jairaj, don't walk

into a deathtrap. - It's not a loan.

- It's for your goats.

- Raees!

Musa liked your philosophy

about business and faith.

Raees!

No one can harm those

who musa favours.

What if we had agreed

to bump off musa?

My left hand never

misses its Mark.

Goodbye.

Raees!

What's up?

Jairaj Seth wants you. Your time is up.

Get back to work.

Tell jairaj, I have stopped

dancing to his tunes.

My time starts now!

Ammi,

I'm going to start

my own business.

God willing, I'll

make a lot of money.

But I will never let

anyone come to harm.

Pray for me.

Understand the business, sadiq. We'll

buy stuff from jairaj's vendors

and sell on the streets of fatehpura.

That's great.

Cut the middlemen

like jairaj out!

Here now, there now!

Life is a journey.

The city of my dreams

traverses, bundled in a bottle.

If you have the wisdom,

patience to boot,

and a lot of guts,

you have nothing to worry.

This world is fake.

You have to turn crooked

to fix it.

Follow your passions

push your will far enough,

and luck will shine on you.

It's the spirit of business.

Let me not take a step back.

Help me return the favours.

Repay, I must.

Let me not take a step back.

Help me return the favours.

Help me in my endeavour, lord.

Help, lord! May I never

break someone's heart.

Never I don't care

how the world goes by

I just listen to the

call of my heart.

Everyone is answerable

in life or in death.

In the spirit of business!

In the spirit of business!

In the spirit of business!

In the spirit of business!

- Hi, hasmukh bhai!

- How are you?

I'm fine. It's an awesome party!

Hang on.

Hey, gymnast!

Excuse me.

Who invited you here?

- Excuse me...

- Beat the drum!

Whose guest are you?

Mr serpent?

Whose guest are you?

Excuse me. Whose guest are you?

Now, please don't

point that finger!

I am hasmukh bhai's guest.

Whose guest are you?

I am hasmukh bhai.

You are hasmukh bhai?

Yes.

You are hasmukh bhai? That's me.

Your smile proves it.

- Is this your party?

- Of course.

So you're serving people hooch.

Hey, duffer!

This is not hooch. It's scotch.

It's scotch.

Party's over.

Attention.

We'll have to end

this party here.

But we'll surely continue the party

at gandhinagar police station.

For your convenience, we've

organised transport. Fall in line.

A blue police van is waiting outside.

Remember, friends,

don't push around.

And ladies go first.

Have a safe journey to jail.

Thank you.

The last mughal! You

will rot in jail!

Sir, the opposition will

certainly raise this issue.

Fix a meeting with pasha.

I'll talk to him.

Sir.

What took you so long?

Sorry, sir. Bobby was

having breakfast.

Let him go.

I can't. She's quite flirty.
