I was talking about the center.

And in Raghu's case...

I don't really need to hold on.

And if I have to...

Then it just wasn't meant to be.

"Jaani Janardhan or John."

"A celebrity or Don."

"Giver of happiness...

..giver of food and water."

"Who is the king of Mumbai?"

"Lord Ganesha rocks."

"Lord Ganesha rocks."

"Strength to the weak...

..faith to the lost."

"Lord you give...

..peace to every being."

"Whether its a mountain or an anthill...

..everyone dances at your will."

"Good, bad or ugly...

..a pauper or a prince."

"Giver of happiness...

..giver of food and water."

"Who is the king of Mumbai?"

"Lord Ganesha rocks."

"Lord Ganesha rocks."

"A Mansion or a hut in Chembur."

"A plate spun from sugar

or made from gold."

"They bow their heads

for the vermilion."

"For you they all come together."

"Jaani Janardhan or John."

"A celebrity or Don."

"Giver of happiness...

..giver of food and water."

"Who is the king of Mumbai?"

"Lord Ganesha rocks."

The center means everything

to you, doesn't it?

Correct. Just the center.

Ever wondered why?

I don't know.

It's late.

Shall I leave?

Raghu.

Wait for a while.

There's something on your cheek.

There's something on your cheek too.

Weren't you leaving?

I'm already gone.

Me too.

"I want to kiss you...

..and feel our love."

"When you are by my side

this calm descends on me."

"This is the start of our romance..."

"..our silence says it all."

"Just need to see one glimpse

of you to live this life."

It feels just like home.

After the Durga festival.

It feels just like home.

After the Durga festival.

Totally empty.

You mean West Bengal? Kolkata?

Bangladesh. Khulna.

Where did you fall?

It's your turn today.

Why are you so pissed at your brother?

Say.

Tell me.

Let it out.

He branded you?

Since then, he has a thing for hot stuff.

Lighten up, man!

B.D. is too slow

in understanding jokes.

You know why the center

means so much to me?

Why?

It takes me inside people's homes.

- I love that.

- Why?

Because... homes have a fragrance.

A mother's fragrance.

Which my home will never have.

This isn't even a home.

Three thousand homes.

Three thousand!

Our homes.

Jayyu get up, call somebody.

- Leave me!

- No.

What the hell!

Hello Sonali cable centre.

Yes sir, there was a little problem.

Please check now.

You should be back online.

Kiddo. We'll move you to private.

It's five star.

- A room with a sea view.

- Great.

Sonali will take care of you.

She's like my mom.

Can I kiss you too?

Bring it on.

He's been watching too many TV soaps.

Mummy.

Looks like Raghu took care of your virus.

Shut up you rascal.

Wow Sada, you ripped his pants off!

You almost bit his butt off.

What did you expect?

That I'd sit him down and worship him?

They destroyed our center.

It's no joke.

Sonali, hold my hand.

- I'm cold.

- Get the doctor.

Are you okay?

Look at me!

Where's B.D.?

Somewhere safe.

My locket?

The nurse has it.

Just keep talking to me.

What wrong?

Talk to me!

Sonali. Green.

What's green?

It's over.

No!

I think I'm going offline...

Shut up rascal!

We never go offline!

- Raghu. Doctor.

- Don't leave my hand.

Jayyu. Raghu.

Sada. No.

Sada.

Raghu.

"Why has the season changed?"

"..my heart feels a little empty."

"Someone close has left me bereft...

..left me."

Mr. Bobby.

We have a tiny situation.

Sweating with the AC on?

Are you ill?

"My fate cries...

..at my life."

"There is a wave of sadness

in every breath."

"My fate cries...

..at my life."

"There is a wave of sadness

in every breath."

"It feels like an illusion...

..all my dreams broken."

Enjoy your vacation.

"How is that I melted into...

..my own shadow."

"I am still in shock."

It was a mistake.

Say sorry.

"In your heart...

..let me buy some space."

"I can only spend on the dreams...

..which remain."

"A little house of hope...

..come kindred spirit."

"Stay as my companion...

..throughout this life."

"This is what I had desired."

'It all ended with a stroke."

"Why has the season changed?"

Uncle open the door.

Uncle open the door.

Won't you kiss him?

It was Shining, wasn't it?

I get it.

- They were your men.

- Stop it!

Let it go.

It was an accident.

Don't make the same mistake.

Keep your head down.

- I'll take care of...

- Don't touch it!

Talk to Mr. Gawde he will look after it.

Inaamdar Sir. Any updates?

Sonali, be patient.

Let Meena ma'am handle it,

or it'll just get worse.

He was just a kid.

How much worse can it get?

A lot worse.

My center was attacked.

My technician was murdered.

Won't you file a report?

Any suspects?

Yes. Bobby Bose from

Shining Broadband.

Any proof?

The case being handed over to you

is proof enough.

Look, you're a good girl of the hood.

So, stay that way.

I'm not such a good girl that

I can't see the filth right in front of me.

What do you mean?

My free internet has

replaced your Viagra pills.

Hey Sangeeta.

- Throw her out!

- Back off!

Please continue.

This is Sonali's internet service.

It won't leave you limp.

- Up your's!

- Get out before I arrest you!

Get back to work!

Back from hiding?

You shouldn't have bothered.

Believe me. I was locked in.

You could've broken the door down.

And I did!

Try to understand.

This is totally out of our league.

Even an ant can make an elephant

do the Disco.

It just has to bite the right spot.

Remember what this

rascal used to say?

So, we have a quote from

another provider.

The committee hasn't decided yet.

This is impossible, Sir.

That too without an advance payment.

We'll do it.

Sonali.

Within a month, your entire colony

will be WiFi-ready.

Including the 300 new flats.

Think before you commit.

Let us know if it's beyond you.

Sir, you wouldn't have called us

if you didn't think we could pull it off.

All the best.

No bank will lend us money.

And I can't ask mom.

- Where do we get the money?

- I don't know.

You're the "sword sharpener".

Figure it out.

So, here's the deal.

We defer 3-months pay.

And work Sundays too.

I'm selling everything I own for this.

And as soon as we get paid,

everyone gets a 3-month bonus.

And... a partnership.

But we don't have time.

In or out, let me know now.

I'm broke, so I can't put in any money.

But I can figure something out

for the next three months.

I'm in.

I have a little money saved up.

"These pennies of desires...

these pennies of courage.'

"These pennies of desires...

these pennies of courage.'

"These pennies of courage...

..of strength."

"We twist around in rhythm...

..in courage."

"These pennies of desires...

these pennies of courage.'

Chanda ma'am please

this is embarrassing.

You're our customer.

And I'd like to remain so.

This place is important to me.

"These pennies of desires...

these pennies of courage.'

- You wanted some cash?

- Yes.

For what purpose?

You lack the bandwidth to

handle the purpose.

So chill.

And thank you.

Bandwidth...

"Life enchants me...
