Sonali Cable Page #3

Synopsis: Sonali, a spunky self-made internet operator, proudly runs a small outfit along with her band of ghetto boys catering to a sprawling Mumbai suburb. Complications arise when Sonali's childhood sweetheart, Raghu returns from the United States and helps bring her small enterprise into the twenty first century. But not all forces of modernization are as kind and as loving as Raghu. SHINING INC, a huge corporation wants her out to complete their monopoly of Shining Broadband in the city. Sonali refuses... and it's war! This is a character driven, edgy survival drama of an ordinary girl, a sizzling love interest and her rag-tag family of internet cable technicians for whom Sonali Cable Centre is more than a livelihood... it's their home.

Ma'am will never

let you marry her son.

Oh please!

We've known each other for 20 years.

It's just matter of

naming our relationship.

Name it what you want.

You'll always be tainted.

The tainted daughter of a slut

who left her family in the lurch.

I don't want to ruin my make-up.

- Should I make you another drink?

- No. I'll help myself.

So, this is how you drink

in Bangladesh?

I'm not from Bangladesh.

I'm from Kolkata, West Bengal.

Yeah, and I'm from Korea.

Sada Kimchi!

Hey Sada, just drink man.

Leave him alone.

He's a real geek.

Works magic with the computer.

A solid technician.

- How does it matter where he's from?

- It matters, Jayyu.

It matters to Sonali.

She's our boss.

Hey Romeo, Jabbo's on her way.

What are you drinking?

- Someone's smoking'!

- Hot huh?

Bring out the whip!

What a diva!

Who's that bomb?

I'll make you meet

someone every special.

Alright.

Guess who.

Sonali.

Zooni.

Oh, Zooni!

Mr. Mattoo's daughter.

- Hi.

- Hi.

My, how you've grown!

Everyone does.

Weren't you studying in America?

I got my Masters in Computer science

from M.I.T.

Degrees are useless in Mumbai.

You need guts!

She's going to join Mr. Mattoo.

She's the future of Race Net.

Future.

Look, Mr. Mattoo.

Who's Mr. Motoo (FATSO)?

That's not how we say it in India.

He owns Race Net.

And we sell Race Net Broadband.

A crook with a fancy hat.

What's with your... hat?

I fell.

Where?

In life.

Give me a break!

I've promised Mr. Mattoo that we will

sell Race Net broadband exclusively.

Yes, Ma'am. Especially after what

those Shining guys did today...

Help me out in the kitchen, will you?

Let them talk business.

You come with me.

Come.

Hey that's my song.

Come on Raghu.

All good, kiddo?

It was.

B.D...

Ma'am, I'm glad you turned

Shining down.

Mr. Mattoo does not need

to know everything.

Think before you speak.

And if you can't,

then just keep quiet.

Sorry, Ma'am.

It's okay.

Zooni and Raghu

will take care of everything.

Their friendship started in America,

and will continue to grow.

They're well-matched.

You were having trouble

handling the pressure.

So I asked Raghu to step in.

And here he is.

He loves you very much.

When I see you two together...

It feels good.

I always wanted a daughter.

Think of me as your daughter.

You are a daughter to me...

And a sister to Raghu.

This phone call is the last pacifier

I'm shoving into your mouth.

No more "almost".

- Got it?

- No "almost".

You're my witness, Madhavan.

Sona. Why are you crying?

Where are you off to?

To see Lord Ganesha.

Sona...

Bhau Sir.

What a surprise.

The big ship himself!

We ships come and go.

You're our harbor.

Tell me.

What can we do for each other?

A small problem needs fixing.

Something my morons couldn't handle.

I'll take care of it.

My respects, Bhau.

Anything urgent?

Mistakes are better rectified early.

Did I do something wrong?

Rights and wrongs are

two sides of the same coin.

Let's go inside.

Someone's here to meet you.

To meet me?

How are you, Taai?

Don't gloat.

Just take her blessing.

Of course.

Meena, give him your blessing.

Keep going.

- Why are you here?

- To take you home.

Don't make me swear in front of Gannu.

Why have you blown a fuse?

Because you're fused to that witch.

The least you could've done

is told me earlier.

I was on standby for you

all these years.

Are you nuts?

Zooni and I?

Yes, Zooni and you. Your stupid American

friendship, your rich-ass wedding...

And whatever she pops out after that.

Get lost!

Damn.

Did mom say something?

Will she ever miss an opportunity?

Whatever she said...

- I've seen it with my own eyes.

- Bullshit!

She's Mr. Mattoo's daughter,

so of course I know her.

And I met her once in Disneyland. She was

on top, I was below, on that thing...

She was on top? And you under her?

Hollywood style?

This is ridiculous.

There's nothing between us.

And there's nothing between us either!

And anyway, according to your mom...

I'm your sister.

Just give me my forty percent.

I'm quitting the business. The end!

Yes, Mr. Naulakha.

What can I do for you.

Of course, we can install WiFi

all over your building.

I'll have Jayyu work up a quote.

Yes.

Ok.

Bye.

You were saying...

Raghu, I'm seriously quitting.

Good call.

What do you mean?

Shining guys pulled muscle.

Bhau called mom.

- What now?

- We have to meet Bobby Bose again.

You go meet him with that witch, Zooni.

Go flaunt your English together.

The center is your baby, right?

Will you abandon it?

- They'll take you down. You'll go offline.

- I'll slap you!

Okay. Now finish your idol

and let's get going.

- She's a loose cannon.

- Meaning?

- A wild one.

- And how do we tame her?

- Using her boyfriend.

- And what about him?

He'll play. If the price is right.

Even God needs an offering.

Hello.

Firstly...

I am very sorry about last meeting.

So yes the deal...

The deal is that nothing changes, really.

Except that you'll sell Shining Broadband.

Oh you mean partnership.

No. Employees.

You'll work for Shining. Top salaries

and a mind-blowing settlement scheme for...

Sonali.

Sonali cable.

Yes, Sonali cable.

- And what will happen to Race Net?

- They'll get shut down.

Shining will be the sole

broadband provider in this city.

Drinks?

Mr. Bobby...

Come.

Please come.

Just look at that. Mumbai's largest

Ganesha idol. 25 feet tall.

And right beside it, a common man's

tiny version. Barely a foot tall.

Both are paraded together.

They mean the same to everyone.

Nobody pushes the small one aside.

Each idol has space, respect and value.

Each idol has space, respect and value.

And value is what I'm giving you.

Come on Raghu.

We're offering $160,000.

In one bloody payment

and a fat bloody...

We don't want all that Mr. Bobby.

Three thousand relationships

are not for sale.

Raghu, your mom owns a 60% stake.

Owned.

Now it belongs to me.

I respect what Ms. Meena Pawar wants.

But Sonali and I get the final say.

That's for you.

Sonali. There won't be any more meetings.

Meet, cheat, do as you please.

You can't hide from Lord Ganesha.

He is watching you.

All hail Lord Ganesha!

Why, Sonali?

Why did you behave like that?

Didn't Raghu explain the

political pressures?

Meena, how can you expect these

low lifes to understand such things?

- Look at her family...

- Keep my family out of it!

Which family? What...

Just shut up!

She's come a long way on her own.

Don't forget you're in her office.

And if I were you,

I'd apologize immediately.

After the damage she's done,

you want me to apologize?

I would apologize. Now!

Meena.

Dada. An apology is in order.

But...

Sorry.

Raghu, Sonali and I need to talk.

Oh mom. I can't handle

any more miscommunication.

I'm good here.

Go on, talk.

- Leave!

- Leave!

Sonali, you can't have what's not yours,

can you?

Absolutely. But what's

mine, I can't let go.

Can I?

Let go of Raghu, Sonali.

Raghu?
