Shor in the City Page #6

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.

There are big words and all.

But once you get going,

you won't put it down!

Now I know why people spend

so much and read fat books!

What philosophy, yaar!

Does your book also teach you

how to screw over friends?!

You both take one copy each.

I have lots of copies lying around.

Come, in, quick!

Mandook, no over-smart

stuff!. We'll keep it simple.

You listening?!

- Sure. Here, take these...

I'm here only for moral support.

Moral what?

- Nonviolence.

Ganesh Immersion. - What?

- Don't think we're not fools!

Where's the money?

Why do you want to die

for someone else's money?

It's in the locker.

Immersion. He will be late.

He'll be here in two minutes.

in 15, you're dead!

It's a one-way street.

It's one-way!

Step out. Show me your license!

I'm only doing this for friendship.

I don't care about

money these days.

Right. Why don't you

donate all your money then?

I will do just that!

I don't want this money!

Then why don't we reduce

your share to zero?!

Do whatever you want.

away my brand new phone!

''You can harm yourself,

you can safeguard yourself.''

You alone decide your outcome.
