Shor in the City Page #5

Synopsis: An NRI faces threats from extortionists when he opens a small business and goes out with an aspiring model. He refuses to pay, both are stalked, and when he complains to the police, they not only shrug it off but offer 'protection' for a price. With increasing pressure, he must now make a decision to re-locate or submit to their demands. Tilak and his friends are career criminals, and sell merchandise that they steal from passengers using public transportation. He also buys best-selling novels, has copies printed, and has them sold at busy traffic signals. Things change when his group find guns and an explosive device in a stolen bag. Sawan Murthy wants to be a cricketer and must come up with Rs.10 Lakhs in order to be inducted in the 20/20 team. He has no money, nobody will lend him any, and he considers robbing the Citizen's Co-operative Bank. Just some of the challenges faced by regular Mumbaites and criminals in this crime-laden city.

business proposal for you!

Alittle more expensive...

What say, sir?

I'll come and meet you

in a couple of days...

Do you need anything?

- Huh?

Some tea?

No, I have some work.

What are you reading?

- What?

What book are you reading?

Oh it's nothing...

We print these at our press.

I've read this book...

when I was in school.

What?

You can read?

Of course! I went to college.

I read this book when I was...

in the 10th grade.

It's so interesting, right?

That kid looks for treasure all

over but later he finds out...

You... haven't reached

that part yet, right?

No.

- Sorry, sorry, sorry!

But do finish it.

You'll enjoy it.

You went to college??

- Yes.

I didn't know you went to college.

You never asked!

You need your hand in many pies,

only then can you see some money.

You need to keep your options!

Huh? Hold on, let me ask.

Hey! How much is 4000

dollars in rupees?

Ey Tipu, enough already! Come here.

I am busy right

now. Call you later.

Show them the stash.

What is this?

- Goods.

What is this?

- Goods.

Ey, Tipu, are you

here to buy or sell?

Well... we did come to sell...

But... show them.

Show.

Mandook, let's show

them the big one!

You'll get top price

it's a rare item.

Are you crazy? How do you

have the heart to sell it?!

We have to show something.

It's a matter of pride now.

Think about the money also. - Fine,

whatever! Don't chew my brains!

What is this?

- The real stuff!.

Where did you get it?

- What do you care?

Do you want it or not?

It's a risk, but take it.

Sixty. - Sixty

what? - Thousand.

You f***ing miser. You

think we are beggars or what?

F***ing shorty, you talk too

much. I'll shoot your f***ing face.

They are amateurs.

Please forgive them.

Put a leash on the short

one. It barks too much.

Don't know how to do business.

Sorry, sorry!

Shut up, Mandook!

If not you, who else

will they learn from?

Yeah! Like it's my job

to teach the f***ers!

They'll learn slowly!

I apologize on their behalf.

They think they are

bloody gangsters.

Sh*t, I didn't expect this.

Had no idea they were selling too!

What a waste of time!

Not really.

I swiped some bullets!

When the hell did you flick this!?

You idiot, if you get caught,

they'll f***ing gut us!

They won't do sh*t.

They're morons, standing

around with their zipper open!

Let's try the bullets in these guns!

- Save this idiot!

Savvy! I was calculating...

So far only 7 people

have played well.

That means 8 slots are still open!

So 60 minus 7... equal

to 53, divided by 8 is...

Oh, chuck the calculations...

Just play the next

two matches well!

At least one match?!

What happened to your nose?

You won't talk to me?

Savvy, everybody's home.

Mom keeps coming up here to check.

Why are you acting like this?

You still love me, right?

Why don't you stand up to your mom?

Quit going out with that cartoon!

Has he left?

I got engaged to him yesterday.

What the hell?!

Why didn't you tell me?!

Savvy, it hurts, please...

Anything on the team selections?

Hello, sir!

How are you?

What do you want,

sir? I have everything.

Powder, girls...

- I want something else.

Sure, come with me.

Sir you want girls?

Indian, Russian, Urkanian...

You want what?!

No way. Too dangerous.

I don't deal with that stuff.

No sir, I don't.

You want coke, I can get

you top quality stuff.

Do it right here if you want.

You want a girl, let me

know. That's all I can do.

You know Fashion Street?

Meet me there tonight.

Our branch office at this traffic

signal has very strong sales.

Autorickshaws are not

allowed beyond this signal.

Only taxis and cars.

These are all well educated

people from good families.

I always have at least

four kids working here!

Hey Salim! Come here...

He's a nice kid.

Go, get to work now.

There's a new bestseller

coming from Chintan Gandhi.

And we'll be the first

to sell that book!

Right here at these

traffic signals.

We are going to make

a lot of money from it.

We'll be the only ones

to sell that book first.

Not even bookstores.

We'll buy a big car

within the year. Nano!

Next year, we'll be stuck

in traffic just like this,

but in an AC car!

You are engaged, your wedding

is fixed for next month!

Now you tell me you

don't feel like it!

Do you think this

is some kind of game?

You never cared for your studies.

You never helped out at home.

You don't even have

a bloody degree.

I've spent so much money on you.

Have you gone to the gym

even once? Look at you.

Look how fat you are!

Open the door right now! Sejal!

Sejal! Open the door I said!

You don't deserve this alliance.

They are such nice people.

Look at your arrogance!

What do I tell them now?

Will you come out or not?

Why don't you tell me

what your problem is?

You're going to

ruin our reputation.

He'll be here any minute.

Okay I'll go now.

Are you going to kill someone?

Actually, don't tell me.

You don't plan to

kill yourself, do you?

There, that's him!

How far?

You got the moolah?

The client is ready.

Are the goods ready?

Where?

Okay.

Get in.

What?

Do your thing.

Does it work?

Local stuff... Looks cheap.

But you get it going,

it'll rip everything apart!

We just tested it an

hour ago. It works great!

You plan on shooting someone?

No, it's just for security.

Do whatever.

Just don't get caught with the gun.

Else the cops will catch us.

Sir, this is falling short.

Here, count it.

Yes, we have those too.

It will cost you more.

We take dollars too!

No, no, setting fire to

buses is not my thing.

My boys can do protests,

riots, but no blowing up stuff.

Can't you take no for an answer?

Now let me party in peace.

Got you a sweet deal, didn't I?

- Superb deal.

You still have the long one?

Sure. But I don't want to

sell it, it's my pet...

We might need it for a job.

What?

- Whatjob?

Solid plan, sure shot

job. Lot of money.

How much?

- We need one more man.

- Where's your friend Tilak?

Since he got married, his

wife has him on a short leash!

Do you have bullets

for the long one?

That's the problem. Can

you set me up with some?

I was born for this sh*t!

You call Tilak first.

Enough! We are almost

home. I'll eat there.

It's okay. Just one more...

Book?

What book?!

Man, what a book!

You should read it.

You've been sitting at

home reading a book!?

Is it in Hindi?

- No, English...

What philosophy!

Western philosophy

is something else!

We barely know how

to spell philosophy!

So... you won't help us

because you're reading a book?

Not like that, man...

Listen... A man never

does what he wants...

...but he becomes what he does.

What??

Listen... In life...

What nonsense are you blabbering?!

Have you totally lost it?

Brother, please

don't do this to us!

It's a lot of money

and we need your help...

Enough is enough! I can't

do this stuff any more.

Now on, I will focus on...

I'll dedicate my life to...

F*** life and f*** your

philosophy! Let's go, he's lost it!
