''Round and round,

turns a wheel.''

''The world rocks on its tune.''

''If slipped a little,

you'll get a big hit.''

''Whatever you do here,

you'll pay for it right here.''

''As deeds are to be paid here!''

''It'll try to stop you,

it'll try to halt you...''

''It'll halt you and kill you.''

''You'll certainly lose,

as deeds are to be paid here!''

''No one has escaped from

it's clutches, nor will you.''

''Your conscience and your existence

will destroy falling under it's effect.''

Damn, is everything for free here?

What amazing girls, yaar!

Hey, hey!

Go take a look around the place.

See if you can find that author.

I'll go see.

What is it?

Give me the paper.

Let me see his face one more time.

He's the one, isn't he?

You remember his face, don't you?

- You bet!

Food, booze, money!!!

The scent of all three together!

This is life!

Hey, don't create a scene.

Let'sjust go stand in a corner.

C'mon.

Yaar, why are these people

written about in page 3?

Because the real news gets

printed in the first two pages!

Would you care for

some bubbly, sir? - What?

Babli? Who's Bunty then?!

Excuse me?

Let the applejuice

be, get me some whiskey.

You paying from your pocket?

Get me a large, and quick!

And listen, keep coming

back every five minutes.

Now get going, quick!

Stand straight.

Don't fidget around.

Tilak, Uncle's getting ready to

leave. He's started his bye-bye's.

Let's get out ofhere as well.

What is it? What you staring at?

And what are those gloves for?

You're gonna bat

after you're off duty?

The tyre is probably punctured.

Stop the car by the side.

Check if there's a puncture...

What's going on?!

Who are you... What?!

Shut up! Look ahead, c'mon!

Ok... ok... don't hurt

me. You guys can...

What are you doing?

Put that back on. C'mon.

He's offering it with all

his heart. We should take it.

You idiot, let'sjust

take what we want. Got it?

What do you guys want from me?

A copy of yournew book.

- But that's not published yet!

That'sjust why we've come.

We hear many publishers

are fighting for your book?

Let them fight. We're going

to publish your book first.

Just give us the copy.

Yeah, Saroja... It's me...

There's a copy of

the final manuscript...

Yeah, the one on the desk...

I'm sending a guy,

give him the copy...

I'm sending him right away... Yes...

What you staring at?

Are you gonna memorize my

face to describe to the cops?

This kidnapping business, is

this a regularjob for you guys?

No, it's our first time.

Doesn't seem like it.

- There he is.

- Here it is.

Show, show... Show it to

me! Very cool! Lets leave.

Not handing us

something else, are you?

It's gonna be published

under yourname.

Yourreputation will

be ruined for nothing.

Let's go.

''Don't do any childishness!

Your deeds are visible to all.''

''It'll kill you slowly

and steadily.''

''Call upon any God,

your end is final.''

''It'll strive you for

every drop oflife...''

''It'll try to stop you,

it'll try to halt you...''

''It'll halt you and kill you.''

''You'll certainly lose,

as deeds are to be paid here!''

Sir, you don't have to do this.

Please. Let me do

it, leave it to me!

Don't worry.

Take it easy, sir.

Go on inside and enjoy

the air-conditioning.

I don't know, sir.

Never seen him before.

From the outside, this

building looks so shitty.

Inside... it looks all cool!

Looks like you're setting

up a huge business.

Yes, but you've come from

foreign? Where have you come from?

New to the city?

Hello, that's enough

- you can leave now.

Yeah? Why don't you go on...

Oh, come on, sir... You're a big

man setting up this big business...

I didn't go to work

because of you, sir.

And now it's too late. I would've

made six times this much, sir.

Alrght, I guess. Anyway, very

good luck with your business!

And, sir... I have a friend who is

really good at setting up businesses.

I've already told him about you.

He'll handle your business.

He'll provide you

security... He's really good.

Think about it, sir...

Sh*t! Just at the right time

he plays like a superstar!

He'll get on the team for

sure! We're screwed, man!

Look at the selectors.

Just look at them!

They're watching every ball.

Do your best. We

both need to crack it!

Three matches, right? We

can't mess up even one.

If we screw up today,

we'll be under pressure

for the other two matches.

Why are you pressuring me?

Let me go play in peace, na?

Sh*t, sh*t! I should

have played better!

I lost my chance.

I should havejust

whacked every ball!

Who cares for technique these days!

No chance of me getting selected.

No man. It'll all be

fine. Don't worry too much.

My chances of making it are zero!

And you know it too!

So stop bullshitting me!

We DO have a problem.

What have I been

saying all this time?

No man, listen...

We need to do something.

Can'tjust sit around.

We need some sort of... guarantee.

What crap! Who will

give me guarantee?

Ask your coach or something...

Sh*t, man.

Don't you have any photos

with modern outfits?

Yeah there are.

Let me check.

As per your wish.

Go ahead and ask what you want.

Why can't you get Robin's bike?

I can't take my Scooty.

Mom's hidden the keys somewhere.

Savvy, please do something.

Please get me out ofhere.

Every day, they truss me up in

front of somejoker like a showpiece.

They're going ahead fixing my

wedding without even asking me!

Please, Savvy, come soon.

Savvy, my lips are dry,

it's paining, man, please!

So... when will they announce

the final cricket team?

Told you, next week.

Next week for sure?

How many times will you ask me?

There's so much tension at home.

I am going crazy...

I will be relieved

once you get selected.

I was wondering...

you should talk to someone...

Talk to whom?

Someone you know...

Please, Sejal, don't start again.

I am way too stressed already!

Okay, I won't. Okay?

Show, show...

Wow, cool!

Enough, guys, I gotta go.

Come on! Lets have one

more shot! Wejust started.

Sapna is alone at home.

Why don't you understand?

True! Now that you have a wife,

why would you care for old friends?

One more yaar, last one.

That's it. Fine, last one.

Oye! You should see her with

her uniform off!. What an item!

There he goes again, Tilak!

I have seen her naked.

Top to bottom!

Only person you've seen

top to bottom is you!

Dude, I am notjoking.

I've really seen her naked.

She hasn't even looked at you once!

She'sjust showing offin front

of those English-speaking morons!

Like she doesn't know me!

Ok then, what's her name. Go on!

Err... l've forgotten it, man.

What's in a name anyway? I swear

I took her into that room next door!

What?! You need proof?.

What proofwill you get?

A signed affidavit from her?

Shall I bring her here right now?

Just say the word!

I'll go bring her right now.

Fine, go get her.

- Go, go, go!

These are wedding gifts.

They've been lying

I had nothing to do,
