Original subtitles

Look Jagtap, try to understand, this is a women's protest and most of the women's problems are related to their children.

So, the women who have children, tell them to bring them along.

When women have children, the police forcefully reduce the number of children.

And listen Jagtap, have you reminded them of the slogans to be chanted?

Yes, I have reminded everyone.

Okay.

The crowd is also ready.

Okay.

When will the banner and the slogans be ready?

Ma'am, everything will reach the office in 2 hours.

And I have also made a statue.

If I get a chance to blow it, I will do that too.

The next day, good visuals will be made for the TV and newspapers.

Hmm, your idea is not bad Jagtap.

Okay, tell me one thing.

Tell me ma'am.

Did you talk to Shivani Zogrekar or not?

Did he confirm his arrival or not?

Ma'am, he is out of town at the moment.

I am continuously trying his phone.

But I haven't been able to contact him yet.

Look Jagtap, it is very important for her to come there.

She should come there under any given circumstances.

Sanjana ma'am, I think I am calling you for the last time.

The meaning of my life is over.

I have decided.

I am committing suicide.

Oh my God!

Jagtap, I will talk to you later.

Lift.

Lift.

Madhubala.

Stop it.

What madness is this?

What are you doing?

Have you gone mad?

Get down.

Remove this rope from your neck.

Remove it, I am telling you.

Remove it quickly.

Remove it.

Come on, damn it.

Do it.

For God's sake, Madhubala.

Life is not so cheap that you want to end it like this.

After all, Madhubala, what is the reason for taking such a big step?

I am fed up of my life.

Finally, all my dreams, hopes, self-respect, everything is over.

I had come to this city with so many dreams.

I had come here from a small city, Meerut.

Here means Mumbai.

A city which people call the city of dreams.

I had also come to fulfill my dreams.

But I was also feeling scared.

New city, unknown people.

If anyone was close to me, then it was Malhar.

Malhar was a swimming coach in a club here.

Malhar and I had studied together in school and college.

From the beginning, there was a good tuning between us.

Malhar was also a good person.

And a very good friend.

A friend whom I could trust more than myself.

Only then I had the courage to come to this city.

Welcome, Madhu.

You have made a very big house, Malhar.

What do you think?

After doing such a small job, can anyone make such a big house in Mumbai?

Then?

Where is my friend?

Actually, his family has shifted to Switzerland.

So I have got a place to stay here.

And such a big house of my own.

This dream is bigger than seeing dreams.

Malhar, dreams are fulfilled only by seeing dreams.

One day you will have a bigger house than this.

Thanks.

But you think more about your dreams than my dreams.

My dream is not just a dream, Malhar.

It is an obsession.

It is a passion.

I want to become a very big star.

Film star.

I had come to this city with so many dreams.

All my dreams were shattered.

I don't understand anything, Malhar.

What should I do? What should I not do?

I have lost.

What is lacking in me, Malhar?

People like us are not able to do anything.

Why don't you get a job in the industry?

Do you know what your problem is, Madhu?

Your attitude.

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror?

Your clothes, your style.

These days, serials have better glamour than this.

I understand what you mean, Malhar.

But I won't be able to do all this.

I don't feel comfortable.

Then it's better you choose some other profession.

You are educated.

You will get some job in Mumbai.

I can't think of anything else in life other than becoming a film star.

I want to become the biggest star in this shining world.

Then do as I say.

Just wait and watch.

These moments keep coming and going.

This is your time.

Just wait and watch.

These moments keep coming and going.

A new look, a new style.

A new journey, a new intoxication.

The sky is the sign of tomorrow.

These moments keep coming and going.

A new look, a new style.

These moments keep coming and going.

Fantastic.

Mind-blowing.

It's good.

It's very good.

But the thing is, just taking glamorous photos..

..doesn't get you any work in the industry, sir.

Especially when the girl is a new face.

You have to create an atmosphere.

You have to create an atmosphere.

So that the other person gets impatient to give you work.

There are 8-10 girls in our industry..

..who have won Miss World and Miss Universe.

But there are no girls who have won Miss India and other beauty contests.

But don't worry.

There is Kalra.

If there is Kalra, something will happen.

And it will be the same that you never thought about.

50% commission and Rs. 5,000 every month separately.

You didn't understand?

Look, it's simple.

Madam will get work day and night.

Madam will get money for that work.

50% of that money and Rs. 5,000 every month separately.

You won't get work overnight.

It will take 1-2 months.

You will have to run and do networking.

There will be expenses.

Don't think sir.

I will make your life.

Take this.

Tomorrow itself I will show these photographs to Raj Malhotra.

Raj Malhotra?

He is the same director whose film Bar Girl has got national award.

Yes madam.

Raj Malhotra.

Wow.

52 nd national award has been announced.

Superstar of Malayalam films Mammootty has been selected for best actor.

For film Bar Girl director Raj Malhotra has been selected for best actor.

Yes sir.

Thanks a lot sir.

Sir one second.

Yes TP sir.

Thank you sir.

Call you in 5 minutes.

Yes sir.

Sir your blessings.

Thank you sir.

Thanks a lot for calling sir.

Malhotra sir.

It's hard work sir.

From spot boys to cameramen.

Everyone's hard work sir.

One person can't make a film.

Thank you Malhotra sir.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Shall I call you in 5 minutes?

What happened papa?

You don't know son.

How much happiness a father gets from his son's success.

You have proved my son.

You have proved?

Papa.

Oh stop it.

Son it's 12 o'clock.

Have breakfast.

Breakfast is ready for you.

Madhu.

Madhu.

What happened Malhotra?

You look very happy.

Guess what?

You don't believe anything.

You can have any reason to be happy.

Tell me.

Tomorrow Raj Malhotra has a shooting in our club.

You won't get a better chance than this.

Let's meet him tomorrow.

Will he meet us?

Don't worry.

I will find a way.

15 by 1 take 1.

Action.

Don't irritate me.

And keep calling me.

Hang up.

What happened?

Why are you so scared?

The waiter was smiling at me.

So?

I don't know if he recognized me.

So what's there to be scared about?

There is.

You know what kind of business I used to do.

I am always scared.

What if a customer who has made my body his prey..

..will recognize me?

Forget it.

That was yesterday.

Yesterday you were a prostitute.

But today you are my wife.

There is no one in this world..

..who can dare to raise a finger on you.

I will cut his fingers.

You will cut his fingers?

But whose fingers will you cut?

From childhood to youth..

..I was always a victim of lust.

People used to make fun of me day and night.

I don't know whose bed I used to sleep on.

But if you don't want to cut my fingers..

..then go and bring that man's finger..

..who was my stepfather..

..who pushed me on my friend's bed for a bottle of liquor.

Go and bring that man's finger..

..who made my childhood a prey to his lust.

On my innocence..

..he ate his lust.

Go and bring that man's finger..

..who brought my childhood to this market..

..where daily 10-15 people..

..burn my body in the fire of their lust.

Got it?

Lovely! Amazing!

Amazing! Lovely!

You are rocking! Come here!

Watch his reaction in the theatre.

You are rocking! Amazing!

Mr. Ganesh, amazing!

Mr. Kumar, was it okay for you?

Good shot! Thank you!

Mr. Ganesh, your last reaction..

..that was amazing!

It's working, isn't it?

Of course, it's working!

Hello!

Yes!

Look at the live reaction.

Madhu!

Wow!

It's a hit, sir! The movie is a hit!

Thanks! I did what you told me to do.

The credit goes to you.

You people do the work. I..

Sir, what's the next shot?

After this, you get irritated by what he says.

And you pick up the gun, put it in his mouth..

..and shout, enough!

Okay!

Okay!

I'll do it.

I come, hold him like this, put the gun..

Enough!

Sorry!

I'm really sorry!

Sir, it's not like that.

The gun slipped from my hand.

I'm really sorry, madam.

It's okay!

It's a rehearsal.

Come on!

Ready!

Excuse me, sir!

Hi, I'm Malhar.

Sir, I'm a big fan of yours.

Sir, I'm Madhu.

Hi, Madhu! How are you?

Sir, she's into acting.

Sir..

Can you see her photograph?

Of course!

Raj!

What's the movement of the camera?

I'm coming!

Just a minute!

I'll be back in a moment.

Okay, sir!

Yes, Mr. Kumar!

The next shot..

..where Mr. Ganesh puts the gun in the girl's mouth..

..I want the face of the girl and the gun.

Even if it's not Mr. Ganesh's face, it's fine.

And.. put it low.

And.. put it at 75.

Oh, yes!

I'm very busy right now.

And I've already casted for this film.

Do one thing.

Call me next week and meet me in my office.

Thank you, sir!

All the best!

Ready!

I'm very happy to see you happy today.

You're happy too, aren't you?

I'm happier than you.

I can hear the footsteps of your success.

Just a minute!

Yes, Mr. Kalra!

Mr. Kalra!

Yes, go!

Let's go!

Bring her, sir!

She's a beautiful girl!

What are you saying, sir?

Mr. Kalra, I've met Raji.

I'll call you later.

Call me later.

I'll know everything.

And before meeting him, you should've at least asked me.

I created a scene for you in Raj Malhotra's presence.

But you ruined the whole thing by doing a direct meeting.

You've become the same two-bit struggler..

..who takes photos and roams around the office.

But Raj Malhotra has called us to his office next week.

He'll never come next week.

Wait and see.

Try and see.

By the way, I've called you here..

..because if you want to take photos and roam around the office..

..why do you need me?

And if you need me..

..then here's my agreement with madam.

What's written in it?

Nothing special.

She'll do what I say.

She'll meet the one I want.

Now, he will only go to my wedding.

But she's a slave.

She's not a slave, sir.

It's a way to get stardom.

Okay, I'll think about it and let you know.

Yes, think about it, sir.

Think about it.

By the way, if you had signed on this..

..I would've made madam's life.

I would've made madam's life.

Hi, this is Raj Malhotra.

I'm sorry, I can't take your call now.

I'm not in town.

But do keep your name, your number..

Sir, I've been trying your phone for a long time.

Sir, I'm Madhubala Verma speaking.

Hi, this is Raj Malhotra.

I'm sorry, I can't take your call now.

I'm not in town.

But do keep your name, your number..

Sir, I'm Madhubala Verma speaking.

Madhubala Verma.

I think my luck is bad.

I've been hearing this message for the past 15 days.

Sometimes I feel that Kalra was right.

I'll never be able to meet Raj Malhotra again.

Madhu, first of all, stop your negative thinking.

There's no need to be disappointed.

I'm sure that you'll meet Raj Malhotra soon.

Thanks, Malhar.

Whenever I feel weak, you become my support.

Thanks.

Raj Malhotra.

Hello.

Sir, this is Madhu.

Sir, I've been trying your phone for the past 15 days.

Yes, I know.

Can you meet me today?

Of course, sir.

I'll come to your office right away.

No, don't come to the office.

I'm not going to the office today.

Do one thing.

Give me an address.

One second, sir.

Yes, sir, tell me.

32, Swaptalok, Madh Island.

Abhigyan, I need a change in this.

I'll change it as you say, sir.

I need an alternate.

I need a force.

No, sir, it's not like that.

Excuse me, sir.

Madhubala.

Shall we discuss it later?

Yes.

Sit down, sit down.

Thank you, sir.

Sir, my polio.

What's the need for this when you're sitting in front of me?

Be comfortable.

Relax, relax.

Thank you, sir.

Well...

...since when have you been in Mumbai?

It's been almost six months, sir.

Did you meet anyone?

I met a lot of people.

But no one gave me a job.

The film industry is not what it looks like.

No one says no to anyone here.

But it's very difficult to get a job.

But once the proper launching is done,

all the paths become easy.

Do you know, Madhu?

You're very, very lucky.

You met me within six months.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have met me even after so many years.

Now that I've met you, it's my job to make you a heroine.

But...

...you'll have to listen to me.

Will you?

Of course, sir.

That's like a good girl.

Until an actor is open with his director,

they don't have any tuning.

And chemistry without tuning?

I think so.

You understand.

In other places, you have to sleep with the producer...

...director,and even the hero.

But in my case,

I'm the final authority.

I understand what you mean, sir.

But I can't do all this.

You won't get a job without this.

Look, I've put my conditions in front of you.

And I...

...won't force you.

Don't take any hasty decision.

Take your own time.

I have to go to Meerut because my mother is unwell.

How was your meeting with Raj Malhotra?

I don't have any expectations, I have complete faith...

...that you'll become a heroine in Raj Malhotra's film.

How could I have told Malhar that Raj Malhotra...

had put such conditions in his film?

Hello.

Hi, Raj Malhotra.

What did you think?

By the way, it's not my habit to follow a girl.

But you're something very special.

I don't know how many girls in the industry

follow me.

But this heart...

I don't know how it fell for you.

Madhu...

...you're something very special.

Mr. Raj, I agree that you're a great director.

You're very famous in the industry.

But that doesn't mean that you don't respect others.

You're mistaken about me.

I'm not that kind of a girl...

...who would trade her reputation for her career.

I thought you'd consider my talent and my ability.

But I'm very sorry to say, Mr. Raj...

...people like you have defamed the industry...

...by exploiting girls in the name of casting.

I like it.

I like your attitude, Madhu.

I just wanted to see the fire inside you.

I've seen it.

You've passed my test.

What do you mean?

You'll understand later.

Give me your address.

I'll come there and explain it to you.

What are you thinking?

You're going to meet your destiny.

Give me your address.

That's fine.

But...

This is for a character in my new film.

And I think...

...you have the potential to do that character.

And I want you to play that character, Madhu.

Give me your address.

21, Seashore, Warsaw.

Hi.

Can I come in?

Nice place.

What happened?

Are you unwell?

No.

Come on, cheer up.

Or the guests will leave.

And I'm not going to leave without having a cup of coffee.

Now listen.

You're playing the central character of my next film, Kashmakash.

This incident is related to the same character.

Where the heroine faces a situation

that confuses her.

Famous director, Grover.

He asks for a night's company to make her a star.

It's difficult to say yes to the heroine.

And it's difficult to say no to her.

She sees her dreams breaking.

She reaches Grover's flat in the evening.

Grover welcomes her.

And offers her a drink.

The heroine hesitates a little.

Grover says, just for the sake of company.

One drink.

The heroine hesitates and takes the drink.

And then Grover

slowly approaches her.

And says,

I'm a man of words.

Once I give someone my word,

I don't back out.

I put both my hands on the heroine's shoulder.

Slowly, her hands

start moving on her body.

The heroine does something like this.

And then Grover

suddenly picks up the heroine in his arms.

Slowly, he takes her to another room.

The heroine loses control.

She faints.

And then Grover tries to overpower her.

Grover says,

Don't worry, baby.

Forget what's happening.

And think about the future that's in front of you.

People are dying to get a glimpse of you.

In every channel,

in every magazine,

there's only you.

A beautiful future.

Start-up.

I know you are angry with me.

I have done such a thing.

Madhu, ever since I have gone from here..

..I am not able to sit peacefully.

There is a strange burden on my heart.

By telling you that, I want to lighten that burden.

What is left to say and hear now?

Everything is over.

Don't say that, Madhu.

Nothing is over.

Everything is the same.

Just lighten your heart.

Anyways, I am on my promise.

And you?

Madhu, you are the heroine of my next film.

There is a new path in front of you.

You just have to take a step forward.

The destination will kiss your feet.

Cheer up.

Cheer up.

I don't like this flowery face.

Cheer up.

That's like a good girl.

Raj, we are ready.

Ready.

Kumarji, ready.

I am ready, Raj.

Come on, full lights.

Roll sound.

Camera.

Rolling.

Indian motion pictures.

Good luck.

Action.

Everyone says that to become a heroine..

..you have to go through casting counts.

The path to stardom is through the producer-director's bedroom.

But I am that girl who doesn't want to sell her body..

..but wants to get stardom through her talent.

And I will prove that the path to stardom..

..can be chosen only through talent.

Cut it.

Excellent.

Excellent.

That was a great performance.

Keep it up.

Damn it.

I have never been so frustrated in my life.

I even spoke to this producer about you.

But that heroine's dad..

..gave her a greed of 1 crore rupees..

..and everything just went on a toss.

I wish you could have arranged for 2-2.5 crores.

I could have launched you like this.

Look, Raj.

I don't want money.

I want to succeed through my talent.

And this is not your last film.

But I..

I had committed you.

When I don't have any problem..

..then why are you taking so much tension?

I know you are trying your best for me.

This is enough for me.

Not in this film, but in the next one.

You can think like this even in such a situation.

You are really very nice.

But you are very different.

A few months passed like this.

Raj's another film was released.

I was not even included in this film.

I was not able to understand anything.

Malhar had also returned in the meantime.

Madhu.

Madhu.

Madhu.

Madhu, look what's printed in the newspaper.

Raj Malhotra's new film was inaugurated yesterday.

He has hired a new actress.

You are in touch with him.

He had also promised you.

Look, Madhu.

Till you don't get a job in this field..

..you have to keep fielding.

You are doing it, aren't you?

Malhar was unaware of my past.

He didn't know that Raj Malhotra..

..had brought such a big storm in my life.

On one hand, there were Malhar's hopes.

And on the other hand, Raj's big dreams.

I was surrounded by strange problems.

Meanwhile, Malhar expressed his love to me one day.

I was not able to understand..

..what should I tell him and what should I not tell him.

How should I tell him that I was not worthy of his love?

That's why I decided to leave Malhar's house.

Sanjana Oberoi helped me get a new house.

Sanjana Oberoi ran an organization called Mukti.

She raised her voice against the injustice..

..that was done to women.

And helped them to get their rights from the society..

..and start a new life.

Are you happy now, Madhu?

I have spoken to the society's secretary.

If you have any problem, you can call me anytime.

Okay?

Okay.

Good tea.

Thanks.

I'll leave now.

Okay? See you later. Bye.

Bye.

Come inside.

Malhar, ever since I have come to Mumbai..

..you have always supported me.

But I don't want to be a burden on you.

Ever since I have come back..

..you have been behaving strangely.

I have been following you for a long time.

And today you have crossed your limits.

Malhar, please try to understand me.

What should I try to understand?

I don't understand anything.

Malhar, I want you to be happy in your life.

What has happened to me?

I am very happy in my life.

In fact, I want to bring you in my life..

..and double my happiness.

I can't give you the happiness that you are looking for.

Perhaps we are not meant for each other.

What are you blabbering?

Are you in your senses?

I am in my senses, Malhar.

I want you to find a nice girl..

..and marry her.

Do you know what you are saying?

I love you.

I am sorry, Malhar.

It is very fortunate to have a companion like you.

It is true.

But I am very sorry.

Welcome. Welcome.

Tomorrow's aspiring actress and star..

..Ms. Madhubala Verma.

Wow.

You are looking gorgeous.

What is your intention?

Don't touch me.

I have understood your intention very well.

What happened?

What do you think?

Don't I understand anything?

If you wanted, you could have chosen me as your heroine.

But you didn't do that.

But now I have decided..

..that I won't fulfill any of your unjust demands.

Yes.

It is true that I didn't want you to become a film star.

I wanted you to work in films.

But that doesn't mean that I wanted to deceive you.

I fell in love with you in our first meeting.

And I still do.

If you don't mind, I want to marry you.

Will you marry me?

Time passed by.

Just like Raj's other promises..

..the promise of marriage also seemed false.

And one day..

Yes, yes, honey.

It will be done.

Madhubala.

Why are you standing there?

Come.

What?

I am not here to warm your bed.

I have come to talk to you.

Tell me.

What do you want to say?

When you had promised to marry me..

..why did you marry someone else?

What is left in you that I will marry you?

You are a scoundrel.

A real scoundrel.

But I won't give up so easily.

I won't ask you to leave your wife and marry me.

Because I hate you.

But this is my promise, Raj Malhotra.

That I won't spare you.

So that you can make another innocent girl your prey.

Get lost.

I will leave.

But remember one thing.

I will tell the truth about you in front of the press.

So that people come to know..

..that the national award winning director..

..Raj Malhotra's real face is such a scoundrel.

A man who makes films on the exploitation of women.

A man who makes films on the exploitation of women.

How much he exploits women.

Raj Malhotra is a dirty insect of lust.

I like to play with the bodies of girls like you.

Not just you.

Every girl who sleeps with me..

..cries here.

She cries a lot.

But she can't harm me in any way.

If you keep warming the bed of people like me..

..you won't get a hero in 3-4 years.

You will surely get small roles.

Press.

If you make a mistake of opening your mouth in front of the press..

..I will kill you.

I will kill you.

And don't think of it as a threat.

I will kill you.

I was scared to see this face of Raj Malhotra.

I remembered my status.

What was I?

A struggler.

And he was a famous director.

He was friends with big people.

I couldn't harm him in any way.

I had lost my respect.

I was scared to lose my life.

The life whose dreams were already shattered.

Dreams.

Beautiful dreams.

Lights.

Camera.

Ready.

Action.

You are distrusting me. Cut.

One minute.

Where did everyone go?

Where did everyone go?

I was raped 21 times in 2 years.

Sometimes in the name of giving work in films.

And sometimes by promising to get married.

I see.

But madam, whatever she is saying..

..there is no solid proof against Raj Malhotra.

Solid proof?

What do you mean by solid proof?

What she is saying is not enough for you.

Madam, Raj Malhotra is not an ordinary man.

No one can arrest him.

If Raj Malhotra is an ordinary man..

..then does he have the license to rape?

But there should be some proof.

If there is no proof and witness..

..then isn't it the truth?

A woman is scared to come to this police station..

..because of your behavior.

And anyway, proof and witness is not your job.

It is the job of the court.

Are you writing the report..

..or should I come here tomorrow morning?

Jinde, write his report.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Raj, if you take out some time for our program..

..then our organization will be very grateful to you.

Look, madam.

Our film industry has done a lot of work..

I am a small man.

Still, I will try my best to come to your show.

Don't worry, I will be there.

Thank you, sir.

Yes, tell me.

What?

But..

Excuse me, I will come to your show.

I will leave now.

Thank you, sir.

Yes, Raghavan, tell me.

Raj, where are you?

Yes, wherever I am, I am fine.

Don't worry.

We all are with you.

By the way, did you leave any proof with that girl?

Have you gone mad?

Don't I have any other work that I do all this?

Look, I didn't mean to hurt you.

Thanks a lot for calling up.

Yes, Chadda, tell me.

I just heard the news on TV.

The police is looking for you.

You don't worry.

Jethbalani's son is my brother-in-law.

He will handle everything.

Don't worry.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Thank you.

Tonight, at Varsoba police station in Mumbai..

..a complaint has been lodged against film director Raj Malhotra..

..for rape.

Varsoba police is looking for film director Raj Malhotra..

..but till now, he hasn't been able to talk to the police.

In this regard, let's..

I had never even dreamt that I would have to see this day.

I don't know what is written in my fate.

Why do you think so, papa?

Nothing will happen.

I know Raj is innocent.

You will see.

I pray that nothing happens to my Raj.

There is delay in God's house.

Not darkness.

Sometimes in life, a person has to face such problems..

..for which he is not responsible.

All that is fine.

But if the question was only about the loss of money..

..then I don't have any worries.

But the question is about the respect of our family.

I don't understand what that girl wants to prove by doing all this.

What does she want to achieve?

Papa, this film industry is a strange place.

We don't know who will do what here.

Did you talk to Raj? Where is he?

He has gone to Pune with his friend Chadda.

He will come here tomorrow with his lawyer..

..and present himself in the court.

Greetings, sir.

The case will be heard on 9th September.

Till then, anticipatory bail will be granted.

But the accused will have to report to the investigating officer..

Oblige, your honour.

Move aside. Move aside, sir.

Please.

What is the matter, Mr. Raj?

Our police station has become very popular because of you.

Mr. Raj Malhotra.

Ms. Madhubala has written in her report..

..that in the last two years..

..you have raped her 21 times..

This accusation is completely false and baseless.

I have never raped anyone by the name of Ms. Madhubala.

I don't know any such girl.

Ms. Verma has also said that you had threatened her..

..that if she says this to anyone, you will kill her.

Enough, sir. Enough is enough.

Sir, I have told you that I don't know any such girl..

..so there is no question of threatening to kill her..

..for raping her.

Sir, someone is trying to frame me..

..when I am completely innocent.

I told you that no one will go inside.

Everyone will be standing here.

Mr. Sajan, please. Just one question.

No one will go inside.

Will you still say that you don't know her?

Yes, it is true that I have met her before.

But I meet so many girls every day.

It doesn't mean that I have personal relations with everyone.

And with all of them I..

Raj, inspector Rane will try to excite you.

So be careful.

Mr. Lawyer, first let us hear Mr. Raj's statement.

You will get a full chance in the court to defend yourself.

So Mr. Raj, what do you want to say?

Inspector, I have already told you that I have met her before.

She had come to my set with one of her friends.

I was very busy in the shoot.

So I told her to meet me in the office.

In the office or somewhere else?

I meet my actors in the office.

But I had gone out for a few days.

When I came back, I saw a lot of her messages on my voicemail.

I thought that I should meet her immediately..

..or else she will think that I am avoiding her.

And as I told you that I had gone out..

..so my script work was incomplete.

So Abhigyan and I were working on my script in my bungalow.

And that's why I had called her there.

Please continue.

Abhigyan, he seems to be very smart.

Mr. Raj, it will be great.

And I will make it perfect.

In this..

Sir, I will change it.

I need two or three alternatives.

Not two or three, I will bring more alternatives.

Don't worry.

Madhubala.

I am sorry, sir. You were disturbed because of me.

Actually, if you take my audition once..

..then I am very confident.

You will definitely give me work after that.

Okay.

Mr. Raj, I have one more meeting with the producer.

If you say..

Thank you very much.

Come, sit here.

Anyway, there is a lot of scope for talented people..

..in the film industry.

Do one thing.

Remember this last dialogue.

Sir, I am ready.

Ready? Okay.

Let's start.

Go.

Everyone says that to become a heroine..

..you have to go through the casting couch.

The path of stardom passes..

..through the producer-director's bedroom.

But I am that girl..

..who doesn't want to sell her body..

..but wants to gain the path of stardom..

..on the basis of her talent.

No, no.

I want some more emotions.

And I want more force.

Okay? Okay, start again.

Action.

Everyone says that to become a heroine..

..you have to go through the casting couch.

The path of stardom passes..

..through the producer-director's bedroom.

But..

But I am that girl..

But I am that girl..

Okay.

That's it.

Look, acting is a serious job.

There is no middle way.

The one who knows it, knows it.

The one who doesn't know it, doesn't know it.

No doubt, you are beautiful.

You are smart.

But as far as acting is concerned..

..I am telling you clearly.

I am telling you.

Remove the thought of becoming an actor from your heart.

What is lacking in my acting?

From school to college..

..I have always come first in every cultural activity.

From students to teachers..

..everyone has praised my acting.

And you say that I don't know acting?

Look, I have said what I felt.

I don't think you can become an actor.

I am sorry.

When you had accepted..

..that Madhu is not as talented as an actress should be..

..then what did you go to her house to do?

After a few days, suddenly one day her phone rang.

Hearing her voice, I felt that she is very depressed.

And she had drunk a lot of alcohol.

He is lying.

I didn't stay on the phone.

I made an excuse and took the address of the house.

I came home..

..and raped her and left.

You bitch!

Mind your language, Mr. Raj.

You make a film on a woman..

..and you don't know how to respect a woman?

Maybe you are forgetting that your wife sitting next to you..

..is also a woman.

Ms. Sanjana, I have taken her statement.

Now let me take her statement.

Then there will be an investigation.

Then the court will decide what is the truth and what is a lie.

Please tell her not to disturb us.

Yes, who is this?

I am Madhu, sir.

Madhu..

Sir, I had come to your bungalow in Madh.

Yes, Madhubala.

Tell me, how are you?

I am sorry, I had used some very bitter words that day.

Tell me, how is life?

I had come to this city with a lot of hope.

I have no one, sir.

A few years ago, my parents died in a riot.

And I had sold everything I had and come to this city.

That I will become a star.

I will touch the heights of fame.

But after meeting you, all my dreams broke.

I didn't have the desire to live.

Sir, in six months you were the only one..

..whose dreams were fulfilled.

But those hopes also broke, sir.

I don't want to live, sir.

I want to die.

Look Madhu, life is not so cheap that it is wasted for a dream.

I think you are not in your senses.

Is there anyone in the house with you?

There is no one, sir.

Okay, do one thing.

Give me your address.

I will come to meet you.

21 C. Shower.

Versova, sir.

Hi.

All this?

What is this?

I didn't believe that you will come.

After all, you are such a big director.

And I..

I am such an artist whom you don't consider worthy of acting.

That day you gave me a dialogue to say.

What was that dialogue?

The path of stardom..

Yes.

The path of stardom passes through the bedroom of the producer-director.

Wow.

Great.

It was a beautiful sign to make a new girl sleep on your bed.

Was she beautiful?

I couldn't understand that sign of yours.

And maybe that's why you didn't see any art in me.

What do you think?

I gave you that dialogue so that I can tell you..

..that I want to sleep on your bed.

What is the problem?

After all, I have heard that in this film industry..

..there is a tradition of give and take.

I had come here so that you don't take a wrong step in disappointment.

I had come here to teach you the meaning of life..

..and help you in finding new ways to live.

But you..

I didn't know that you want to turn your body into a weapon..

..and achieve the goal of art..

..which is achieved after hard work and long penance.

Art! Art! Art!

Where is art?

What is art?

A naked body?

Beautiful youth?

Disgusting dialogue?

In the name of reality..

..is it art to expose every part of the heroine?

You are wrong.

A body is not enough to become an artist.

If that was the case..

..then every woman would have become a star.

You are mistaken.

That's why you don't see the truth.

What is seen is what is sold.

The one who takes off all the clothes..

..is a big star.

And I am ready to take off all my clothes.

Whether it is the curtain of the cinema..

..or your bed.

Girls like you have defamed our industry..

..which makes a man a worshipper of lust for work.

I don't need you for my film..

..or to make my bed.

And yes..

..don't try to call me again.

Sister, this man is lying.

He is trying to defame me.

Sister, do I look like such a girl to you?

Sister, I don't have the strength to tolerate anymore.

Please.

Inspector, do you see how dirty this man is?

What kind of picture does he want to present..

Whatever I said was the truth.

The truth cannot be hidden from the tears.

Who will believe you, Mr. Raj?

Even a lowly girl will not do what you are trying to tell us.

I said what is the truth, sir.

This means that you didn't have a physical relation with this girl.

You didn't promise to marry her.

You didn't threaten to kill her.

All this is a sad story, sir.

It is a publicity stunt.

She is trying to defame me and get publicity.

That's it.

No.

Sister, he is..

Sanjana, take him to another room.

We are having trouble working.

Come.

So according to you, all this is a publicity stunt.

Other than this, I don't see any other reason, sir.

We will find a reason, Mr. Raj.

But I don't believe that a girl will defame herself like this.

Just because she wants publicity.

She will try to commit suicide.

Just because she wants publicity.

Wait.

Sir.

That means after that day..

..you didn't meet Madhubala.

I met her once more.

Strange.

Despite all this, you met that girl.

She came to meet me.

Where? On the set?

Or in your office?

Or in your bungalow in Mudd Island?

In the bungalow in Mudd Island.

That day, I was reading the final draft of the script in the bungalow.

Sir.

Will you stay here or go home?

I will stay for some more time. Why?

Sir, my wife is not well.

Can I come home?

Yes, you can.

Sir, please close the door from outside.

Yes, I will. You can go.

Mansi.

What do you have to say about these photographs?

Mr. Rane.

Madhu and many such actors come to meet me every day.

The media is present there.

And if someone wants to click a photo with me..

Do you click a photo with every artist you meet?

When did I say that?

But if someone requests, we never say no.

Had I known that those photographs would be used for this..

..I would have avoided it.

You mean to say..

..that you were in a relationship with Ms. Madhubala..

..but not to that extent as Ms. Madhubala Verma says.

I have said what I had to say.

Mr. Rane, you can think whatever you want to.

Sir, since this matter has come to light..

..how is the attitude of the film industry towards you?

Absolutely. Thanks a lot, Touchwood.

The entire film industry is with me.

I am grateful for the moral support they have given me..

..and my family.

I want to thank them through you.

Sir, what do you want to say about the allegations..

..that Ms. Madhubala Verma has made against you?

Everything is baseless.

I am innocent.

The case has gone to the court..

..and I am sure that the Indian court..

..the Indian judiciary..

..will do justice to me.

Don't you think that the way you have got the last bail..

..it will increase the exploitation of aspiring actresses..

..and other directors and producers..

..can exploit new actresses?

You break the issues and make it sensational.

But have you ever thought..

..what impact it has on someone's life and career?

Excuse me.

It is our job to spread the news.

Yes.

Don't forget that you get exposure..

..only through our media.

Otherwise people keep requesting us.

That's why journalism has become a business.

You people mix views in the news..

..and make a good business.

Mind your language, sir.

Don't mess with our media.

Excuse me.

Move aside.

Take this.

Where are they?

It's been so long and they are still not here.

I am very scared.

What happened, Raj?

What is this drama?

Are you asking me?

You have created this drama.

Whatever you want to say, say it clearly.

Let me hear what is going on in your mind.

I didn't expect this from you.

You didn't just break my heart.

You have killed my trust.

Mansi, try to understand.

What should I try to understand?

That you are telling the truth.

And that girl is lying.

Wrong.

Today, I think you are wrong.

Please, Mansi.

Please don't touch me.

I don't want to see your face.

Sister, that's why I didn't want to go to the police.

I was scared of my reputation.

Raj Malhotra is a big man.

He can say anything.

Everyone will believe him.

I am with you, Madhu.

And Raj Malhotra is not so powerful..

..that he can prove the truth wrong.

The law will support you.

He will surely be punished for what he has done.

You are my only support, sister.

Otherwise, who do I have in this city?

This fight is not just your fight, Madhu.

It's a fight for all of us.

I am with you.

And I believe in your truth.

I will get you justice.

And today, I will get Raj Malhotra punished.

Raj sir.

What are you wearing?

Sir, that..

Use your brain, you fool.

What are you wearing?

Sir, this is in continuity.

Okay, you go. I will call you later.

Okay, ma'am.

Greetings, Raj sir.

I am Raju Kariya.

I have come from Lokmat group..

..to interview you in Lokmat, sir.

Excuse me.

Raj sir.

You don't want to give an interview to a paper like Lokmat?

Sorry, I..

I don't want to say anything.

Please.

By the way, you gave me time for an interview last time.

But I had to go to meet the CM.

And I couldn't do the interview.

That's why I have come to interview you again.

Please.

I told you, I can't do anything.

I can't say anything right now.

Wow.

You have time to rape me.

But you don't have time for the media.

This is not good, Raj sir.

Out.

Get out.

The media will expose you very soon.

Where will you escape?

Get out.

It has become difficult to live in this city.

I am fed up of answering people's questions.

Sometimes with the excuse of sympathy..

..or by taunting.

Yes, Mark.

Someone or the other says that..

..it becomes difficult to look in the eyes.

That's why I haven't been able to go to the temple..

..since the last three days.

There too everyone's eyes are less on God..

..and more on me.

But how long will I sit at home like this?

Today I have to go to Dr. Ghosh for a check-up.

And you know his nature.

He keeps asking me everything.

I have never bowed my head in front of anyone all my life.

And today, at this age, I have to bear all this.

What happened?

You have made us unable to live in this city.

People taunt us wherever we go.

We have been locked up at home.

These days, casting is very important in the film industry.

Especially after the rape case filed by Ms. Madhubala Verma..

Chandana Lahiri, who is a famous actress..

..I would like to ask her how true this is.

No one has given me such an offer.

I think these are the same girls who..

All of them are doing drama together.

And as far as Raj Malhotra is concerned..

This is the limit.

The one who was raped..

..they are trying to prove him wrong.

This media, this industry..

..they are all taking his favour.

No one is concerned about my pain.

Sometimes I feel..

..that I had made the right decision by committing suicide.

What did you gain by ruining Madhu's life?

Madhu..

Everyone says that I am a rapist.

I have raped that girl.

Why doesn't anyone think that..

..my dignity is raped every day?

My name is not America.

I can't even live..

..with my dignity and my hopes..

..in this society.

This is Madhu's courage..

..that he will remove the mask of decency from your face.

And that's why people hate you.

Because of you..

..a girl is living a miserable life.

I feel like strangling you.

Kill me.

I don't want to live.

What do you think?

I raped that girl?

If I had to rape her..

..then I would have taken her in my film..

..and would have exploited her body day and night.

I would have killed her.

She complains that I raped her and didn't give her work.

If I had given her a small role in my film..

..then she would have been happy.

And I would have exploited her body day and night.

Why would a director like me want to spoil his family?

I am not new in the film industry.

I have worked with many girls.

But no one has accused me of this crime.

I am not such a person.

If you don't believe me, then kill me.

As it is, I have become a living corpse..

..in front of everyone.

Can I ask what crime I am being punished for?

Punishment? We are being punished.

You rape a girl and ask what my crime is.

I have told you so many times that I have not raped anyone.

You are lying.

You met that girl, trapped her and raped her.

And now you are saying that I didn't do anything.

You are a rapist, Raj.

I didn't rape anyone.

You are just a rapist.

Why don't you try to understand?

I love you.

I hate you.

And myself.

I hate my body.

I can't bear it anymore.

The way you have played with that girl..

..and now you are touching my moustache with those hands.

I am feeling disgusted.

Please go away. Or let me go.

Enough.

Enough.

I can't bear it anymore.

I am a rapist.

I will show you how a rapist is.

You want to see, right?

Raj, what are you doing?

You want to see how a rapist is?

Raj, what has happened to you?

Behave yourself, Raj.

I will show you how a rapist is.

Raj.

This is how a rapist is.

Raj, what are you doing?

This is how a rapist is.

Dad, dad.

Shut up.

This is how a rapist is.

No, Raj! No, Raj!

This is what happens, Rupesh!

This is what happens, Rupesh!

No, Raj! No!

This is what happens, Rupesh!

No, Raj! No!

This is what happens, Rupesh!

No, Raj! No!

This is what happens, Rupesh!

No, Raj! No!

This is what happens, Rupesh!

This is what happens, Rupesh!

No, Raj! No!

This is what happens, Rupesh!

How can I do this?

I haven't done anything.

I haven't done anything.

I haven't done anything, Raj.

I haven't done anything.

I am not Rupesh.

I am not Rupesh.

After the hearing of the prosecution..

..this court is adjourned for tomorrow.

Tomorrow Raj Malhotra's anticipatory bail will continue.

And the defence can present their case tomorrow.

Now the court is adjourned.

Mr. Raj, do you think you'll be bailed out?

No comments.

Please say something, Mr. Raj.

You all should be praised for my courage.

When did I expose the face of the film industry..

..which no one has dared to do till date?

Even big stars compromise at one point in their lives.

Would you like to take someone's name?

Name?

If there's anyone, I'll tell you.

I don't know how many such girls are there in this industry.

I've selected a few girls who will make..

..the director and producer's bed for their careers.

Stop, Madhu.

Shall we go from here?

What were you asking?

Which actresses have compromised to get a job in films?

Hello.

You?

Madam, congratulations.

You're famous, madam.

Congratulations.

Madam, what page 3? Page 4, page 5, page 6, sports page and more.

You are on every page except matrimonial column.

India TV, Pakistan, Bangladesh, BBC, seeing you.

Hello.

Hi.

Mr. Kalra, would you like it cold or hot?

I will have it hot, madam.

First have it hot.

You won't believe how many producers and directors..

..Kalra has set your meeting with.

Mr. Madhu, you won't be able to decide..

..whether to do this film or that film.

Should I leave this project or that project.

Mr. Nilani had gone mad to give you the cheque for signing.

I told him to meet you in person.

Meeting in person increases the demand.

Mr. Kalra, please go from here.

I will call you when I need you.

One minute, Mr. Kalra.

Fix the meeting with the people.

I can't avoid my career because of this one case.

Take this, son.

Take the offering.

I had gone to Siddhivinayak temple.

I know.

And I also know what you asked for there.

You don't worry.

God will do good.

I didn't trust my son.

I made a big mistake.

But now I have to face the situation with courage.

Son, where is Raj?

He has gone with the lawyer.

All I know is that there is no darkness in God's house.

Raj has tolerated everything alone for the last 10 days.

Papa, I am very happy today.

The rift in our family has ended.

Now we will happily accept the court's decision.

Your popularity has increased after this case.

Today everyone in India knows you.

What do you mean?

Tell me the truth.

Tell me the truth.

Did he rape you or not?

What are you trying to say?

The truth.

I understood everything.

He didn't rape you.

You are not in your senses.

I am in my senses now, Madhu.

You didn't do the right thing.

You didn't do the right thing.

Do you know?

Whether you benefit from this or not.

How much can Raj Malhotra lose?

His career, his family life.

Everything can be ruined.

I was proud of your friendship.

And now I am ashamed of this friendship.

I don't know if I will be able to forgive you or not.

You too are doubting me because of Raj Malhotra.

You are putting a false allegation on me.

Madhu, if this is not true..

..then I will always support you.

And if this is true..

..then my heart says that it is true.

Mr. Raj, don't lose hope. I am there for you.

Mr. Raj, one minute.

Excuse us.

We will talk to him later.

The media is here. You should answer the media.

I have complete faith in my husband.

That's why I am supporting him.

But you..

You are a woman..

..and you are playing this dirty game..

Think about what you will gain by doing this.

Who is true and who is a liar?

It's just a matter of a few hours.

When the police will take your husband to the jail..

..then you will know how false your faith is.

If my faith is true..

..then my husband will surely get the bail.

Ms. Madhu, please cool down.

As it is, the media is after you.

Your honour..

..the accusation that the prosecution has put on my client..

..Mr. Raj Malhotra..

..it is a false accusation..

..and a conspiracy.

The story that the prosecution told the court..

..has nothing to do with the reality.

The matter is something else..

..which has not been brought before the court yet.

Your honour, Ms. Madhu Bala Verma..

..came to Mumbai with the dream of becoming a heroine.

But when she faced the reality here..

..then she lost her senses.

Every day she went to the producers and directors offices..

..and she lost.

Then..

..then a conspiracy was born in her mind.

And she forced Mr. Raj Malhotra to come to her house..

..to commit suicide.

And when Mr. Malhotra reached her house..

..then Ms. Madhu told her husband..

..according to her plan..

..first she tried to throw her beauty..

..and youthful charm on Mr. Raj Malhotra.

And when she didn't succeed..

..then she accused Mr. Malhotra..

..of rape and threatening to kill him.

I object, milord.

This is a lie.

Why would Ms. Madhu Bala Verma accuse Raj Malhotra falsely?

And what is the use of this?

Your honour..

..my friend has said that..

..what is the use of accusing Ms. Madhu on Mr. Raj Malhotra?

So I would like to tell the court that..

..this benefit is the root cause of this problem.

Ms. Madhu knew very well..

..that if the national award winner..

..will take her name with a famous director..

..then she will get the full attention of the media.

And she got it.

And obviously the girl who was wandering in the darkness..

..suddenly came to the limelight.

Your honour..

..today the entire country knows Ms. Madhu..

..by name and by face.

Milord..

..the innocence of a girl in the entire court..

..and her dignity is being hurt.

It would be better if the defence presents its case with dignity.

Thank you, your honour.

Your honour..

..this case is being tried to be connected..

..with the dignity of a girl.

Whereas this case is connected with the life..

..and career of a respected and famous person.

Mr. Raj Malhotra..

..who has achieved many great achievements..

..in his small career.

He also worked with the biggest actors of this country.

But no one ever complained to him.

The prosecution says that Mr. Raj Malhotra..

..went to Ms. Madhu's house.

So I would like to tell the court, your honour..

..that Ms. Madhu gave Mr. Raj her address.

Ms. Madhu says that on the same day..

..Mr. Raj raped her at her house.

So why didn't Ms. Madhu inform the police immediately?

That's not all, your honour.

Ms. Madhu also says that Mr. Raj Malhotra..

..raped her 21 times.

Is this possible?

Yes, milord.

But all this was done in the name of threatening..

..to kill her and marry her later.

Nothing of that sort happened.

But still if this is believed to be true for some time..

..then I would like to know that how did Ms. Madhu..

..get ready to marry such a man..

..who kept raping her and threatening her.

That's why it's clear that Mr. Raj Malhotra..

..didn't make any physical relationship with Ms. Madhu.

It was Ms. Madhu who created such a situation..

..and gathered evidence.

And for her benefit, she accused my client..

..Mr. Raj Malhotra falsely.

Your honour, a film maker invests crores of rupees..

..to make a film.

He has put in years of hard work.

So can he put that money at stake for his entertainment?

What is the need to make a girl a heroine..

..and get her body?

Whereas today, such facilities are available..

..in a few rupees everywhere.

That's why I will request the court..

..to give bail to my client Mr. Raj Malhotra..

..in this false and cunning case...

...to make a film based on the case of Mr. Raj Malhotra.

That's all, your honour.

After listening to all the arguments..

..the court has come to the conclusion..

..that the accused Raj Malhotra..

..will be given bail after depositing Rs. 20,000..

..in a personal bond.

But Mr. Raj Malhotra cannot leave this city..

Now the court is adjourned.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, my son.

Thank you very much, Mr. Malhotra.

If my belief is true..

..then my husband will surely get the bail.

I was proud of your friendship..

..and now I am ashamed of this friendship.

Today I feel that my existence is finished.

Am I the same Madhu..

..who was before coming to this city?

No.

I am not the same Madhu.

Where is that Madhu?

Where is that Madhu?

I was wrong.

I deceived everyone.

Malhar. Sanjana. Press. Police.

No one was left.

I even deceived myself.

But for what?

Just because I wanted to become a star.

I wanted to make films.

But what could I have done?

I am tired of doing everything.

I had given up everything.

I had lost everything.

I didn't know what to do and what not to do.

And in this frustration I came to Kalra.

I am ready to accept all your conditions.

I just want to become a star.

A very big star.

Why not?

Take this.

Sign the agreement.

Simple.

You did a good job, madam.

Madam.

The path to stardom..

..passes through the producer-director's bedroom.

You too will have to pass through Raj Malhotra's bedroom.

At Kalra's behest..

..I even used my body.

But I couldn't show Raj Malhotra's honesty.

Perhaps any girl..

..would have thought ten times before doing such a thing.

But I crossed all my limits.

Still I didn't succeed in my goal.

Kalra had said..

..that if I get publicity somehow..

..then all my problems will be solved.

Raj Malhotra turned out to be a very non-cooperative man.

He doesn't know how to exploit and promote new talent.

What will I do now?

I did everything you asked me to do.

I don't think I will be able to become a star now.

No, madam.

You are a born star.

Born star.

To become a star in films..

..it is very important to be on page 3.

And you don't publish anywhere.

I don't know who all you publish.

Now Kalra will have to think something sensational..

..that not just page 3..

..but your picture should be on every page of the newspaper.

I accused an innocent man.

I got publicity.

And today I think I made a big mistake.

Forgive me, judge.

Forgive me.

This case has become an example in itself.

Because the one who filed the case..

..accepted his mistake by with drawing the case.

It is possible that this case would have continued for years.

And till then the society would have considered Raj Malhotra guilty.

Because getting bail doesn't prove one innocent.

In fact the society considers him guilty..

..till the court doesn't give its verdict.

Every person makes a mistake.

Ms. Madhubala Verma also made a mistake.

But very few people have the courage to accept their mistake.

And the way she has accepted her mistake..

..the court praises her for it.

But the court doesn't work on emotions.

Sir, how do you feel today?

What are you doing?

I am proud of my son.

I believed that my son is innocent.

Sometimes it has happened that my faith was shaken.

But my heart used to say..

..that my son can never do this.

I have been very harsh with you. I am sorry.

No, officer. That's your job. Thanks a lot.

Mr. Raj, just a minute.

When Madhubala has accepted her mistake..

..will the court accuse her of insulting her?

No. I am a filmmaker.

I want to make good films.

But still you will do something.

Thank you.

Ms. Sanjana, the way you supported Madhubala Verma..

..even though you know that she was wrong..

..how do you feel?

Look, sometimes we get such situations in our work..

..where we don't get time to think right and wrong.

Something similar happened in this situation too.

Yes, later we take some other turn.

Like what happened in this case.

And we know that we have made a mistake.

But that doesn't mean that we have stopped helping people.

But we will try not to make the same mistakes again.

Madam. Madam. Congratulations.

Look, what I told you, you did it.

I have got the signing of three producers.

And tomorrow's meeting is fixed with two more.

Now no one can stop you.

Now no one can stop you from becoming a star, madam.

Get lost.

One minute.

Next time don't try to defame our film industry.

As you say, sir.

Madhu.

Madhu, will you work in films now?

Now I don't have any desire to work in films.

If I had the talent..

..then maybe I would have got a job in films earlier.

Maybe my place is not here.

It is somewhere else.

Malhar, will you marry me?
