Hey Khushians!

Good morning! How are you all?

A lot of you had requested this video.

So, here it is. A vlog about “A random day in my life”.

I start my mornings by opening up the window drapes.

I take in the fresh air and sunlight.

Next, I check all my social media accounts.

Then, I turn to my morning routine that includes brushing my teeth and skincare.

I believe in the science of Ayurveda, and in natural remedies.

I start by applying ice on my face.

Next, I use my favourite face wash.

Then, I use this Ayurvedic oil to help combat my flaky skin.

So, usually I prepare breakfast during this time.

But currently, I’m fasting intermittently. So, there will be no breakfast today.

I also have an audition today.

Basically, there will be no cooking done today.

But..

We must not skip exercise.

So, I’m now heading to my Zumba class.

Let’s go!

A sun-kissed day, a fresh new start.

Smile wide and brighten the day, sweetheart.

A sun-kissed day, a fresh new start.

Smile wide and brighten the day, sweetheart.

Coin a hashtag for all the crazy fun.

Make every moment burn bright like a star.

Fill your cup with the little joys in everyday life.

Look around you, and capture these little moments.

Upload these moments, and share them with the world!

Thousands of people are waiting..

For that one little chance.

Wonder if we will ever get one to make our mark.

If you do, just put on a big wide smile.

And press delete on all those negative thoughts.

Go fulfill those big dreams that your tiny eyes hold!

Sparkle and shine, and turn the day into gold!

Upload these moments, and share them with the world!

So Khushians, this is where I work.

This is a logistics company.

I wanted a job with flexible work timings..

So that my shoot and audition timings can be accommodated.

Hence this is job is just part-time.

But, the friendships that I made here are for life.

Upload these moments, and share them with the world!

There is an emotional corner in every mind bursting with energy..

Each new day starts with some borrowed hope from the previous night..

How long must we play the same game?

At some point, our battery runs dry..

I’m finally back home.

Thankfully the traffic wasn't as bad, so I got back early.

To be honest, I’m a little nervous at the moment.

I haven’t heard back from my audition yet.

It could mean that I haven’t been shortlisted.

Struggle is a big part in the life of an aspiring actor.

You seldom get callbacks after multiple rounds of auditions.

There are rare chances of you getting selected.

The constant rejection leads to a lot of negativity.

And if you stay away from your family like I do..

It gets even more difficult.

But I consider myself lucky.

I have such amazing followers like you all.

You are my well-wishers.

So, today..

I want to introduce you to someone.

She is my biggest support system in the city.

Meet my best friend, and my roommate -

Shruti!

Shruti, say "Hi!"

Just do it once, I won’t disturb you again.

That was Shruti.

She is a writer herself, and is aware of the struggles in this field.

I rely on her for support often.

Sometimes, it’s quite the opposite.

Recently, there was a tragic incident in her life.

- Khushi! Don’t talk about my life. - Yes, of course.

As if it's some big secret.

Ok then, Khushians.

This was a day in my life.

If you like this video, please like, share, and subscribe to my channel as well!

Do it even if you hate the video.

It won’t cost you anything!

Toodles! Keep smiling!

Shruti!

The video has 10k views, 400 comments, and 3k likes so far.

This video will surely cross 100k views.

What are you up to?

I'm trying to make sense of this.

These companies are all the same. All clauses are in their favour.

They don’t care about the customers.

I went for an audition today. VX Production is coming up with a new web series.

The casting director is the brother of your friend, Yugandhar.

I haven’t received a callback yet.

Will you put in a good word for me?

Take a small break.

Let’s go and eat your favourite ice cream.

It will be my treat.

Let’s go.

Sorry, they didn’t have your favourite flavour.

I got the one they had. Here, have it.

Wow!

It's too good. Have it.

Do you miss him?

It’s such a strange feeling.

When you first hear the news..

You just can’t fathom it.

Someone so close to you is gone forever.

It feels unreal.

Countless people try to make you believe this reality.

Family, friends, acquaintances - everybody tries to be there for you.

Once you accept this reality, then the rest of the world stops believing it.

They need convincing.

You have to prove it to banks, provident fund and insurance authorities..

You have to produce a death certificate. Write obituaries.

Then they need convincing that the person is indeed gone forever.

My father is reduced to being a document.

And when I get some time amid all the paperwork..

Then I do miss him.

You are a strong person.

You are handling all this quite well.

I have no other option.

My brother is young. Mom is an emotional person.

Both of them have turned to me for comfort.

I have no option but to be strong for them.

Hey, Khushi..

The ice cream is melting.

Here, have it.

Damn, I forgot to bring my phone.

Why do you need the phone?

To call Yugandhar’s brother, and put in a good word regarding your audition.

- Thank you! - You're most welcome.

Come on, have the ice cream and cheer up!

Can you pass the matchbox?

Let me light it up first.

- I need a matchbox. - Sorry, sir.

- Are you watching a web series? - No, sir.

Any news about the election?

Nothing like that.

It’s news about the metro line.

In a way it’s about the election only, then.

Umm..

Is there a Ravi Agency around here?

- Ravi Agency? - They are job suppliers.

Oh that one. It’s right across the street.

- The one with the blue board? - Yes, sir.

Ok. Thank you.

- I shall leave then. - Sure.

- Do watch some web series. - Yes, sure.

The news is only full of drama. See you!

Hello, sir. I’m Rohit. New to..

Hello, sir. I am Rohit. I’m new to Mumbai and looking for a job.

Hello, sir.

I am Rohit.

I’m new to Mumbai.

And looking for a job.

Hello, sir. I am Rohit. I’m new to Mumbai and looking for a job.

Hello, sir. I am Rohit. I’m new to Mumbai and looking for a job.

Do you have prior work experience?

Ever worked as a driver or security guard?

No, sir. I’m qualified.

What kind of a job are you looking for?

I’m looking for a desk job.

Let me see your CV.

Sorry, sir.

I haven’t made a CV yet.

- You don’t have a CV? - No, sir. I just came for some guidance.

What was your previous occupation?

I was self-employed, back in my village.

- Sir, here’s your tea. - I’ll hand it to him.

I’ll handle it, don’t worry.

Sir?

- The tea is getting cold. - Right.

Sir?

Can you guide me?

- We’ll create your profile. Charges extra. - Ok, sir.

- And remember the 1:5 rule. - Ok.

5 job applications for a 1-month membership.

Ok, sir.

I can guarantee an interview.

But I can’t guarantee a job.

Ok, sir.

I will remember the 1:5 rule.

- The list of documents. - I’ll submit in a couple of days.

Hello, Khushians! Hi!

Can you hear me?

You can? That’s great.

Hi, Rahul!

I’m great, Sushmita. How are you?

So, I had planned to make a special video for all of you today.

But then I came here and saw the view.

I thought, why should I enjoy this beautiful view alone?

Not fair!

Let’s all enjoy this view on the live stream.

Can you guess where I am?

Raj thinks I’m in Alibaug. Incorrect.

No, I’m not in Goa either.

I am on Juhu beach, and..

We are going to catch the sunset from Mumbai’s famed spots.

We still have 10 minutes.

Till then, tag your friends, and ask them to join the live stream.

Meanwhile, I will set up the camera.

Damn, I doubt aunty will move from her spot.

Let’s look for a better spot.

There is some trash around. Let me clear it out quickly.

Brother..Excuse me!

Is this your bag?

Hey, is this yours?

Guys, it doesn’t seem to be a trash bag.

Someone probably forgot it here.

I saw some fruits and a wallet inside.

Hey, go away!

I find it quite risky to leave the bag here.

There are a lot of dogs around here.

I fear they might tear the bag while scavenging for food.

Let me see what we can do.

I’ll hand it over to the security guard.

Let’s go.

Brother, someone forgot their bag on the beach.

Whose bag is it?

I don’t know. But someone left it behind.

Brother, we must return it to its owner.

Yes, return it to them.

How do I return it?

I don’t know who it belongs to.

Neither do I.

But they will surely come back for it. You can return it then.

- I'll keep it here. - But when will they come?

My duty ends in an hour. Hand it to the next guard.

I must get going. How can I just keep it with me?

Why don’t you hand it over to the next guard?

Please?

- I cannot keep it with me. - Why not?

The owner will blame us if there are any missing items.

There are no missing items.

Return it to the owner. Do verify their identity.

Please keep it properly. It contains a phone and a wallet.

- Please keep it properly. - I've kept it now. Why don’t you leave?

Just give it back to me. I'll manage.

So annoying!

Ok, guys. There is a twist in the tale.

The sun has already set, and I am left with this bag.

We have to help out this person.

I must find the owner of this bag.

“Bomb..”

“There could be a bomb inside.”

No, guys. There is no bomb inside.

It’s a simple paper bag.

It has some fruits, a wallet and a mobile phone.

The phone is discharged.

Guys, this card belongs to a Rohit Chauhan.

It could be his bag.

Does anyone know a Rohit Chauhan?

He lives in Mumbai.

“There are 544 Rohit Chauhans on Spacebook.”

Wow, that was quick.

“315 of them are on InkedIn. And 215 on Twister.”

"How should we go about it?" I swear, how should we go about it?

“Let’s divide the money among ourselves.”

That can be our last option, in case we don’t find Rohit Chauhan.

“Are you single?”

Are you asking for Rohit, or for yourself?

“Are there any pictures of him?”

Nope, not a single picture in here.

He seems to be an environmentalist, and health conscious.

Based on the paper bag and fruits.

“More like a retired uncle.”

That’s possible as well.

Hold on guys..

I found something else.

“Wash Well Dry Cleaners, Nehru Nagar.”

Nehru Nagar is close by.

Should we try finding him there?

Ok, let’s go!

I’m in Nehru Nagar..

The Dry Cleaners shop is right behind me.

Let’s check with them.

Uncle, is this receipt generated from your shop?

- Are you making a Rik Rok video? - No, it’s a live stream.

Amazing! My daughter is a pro at it.

- Meenu, come here. - Uncle, can you help me with this?

Yes, it’s from my shop.

- She’s making a Rik Rok video. - Hello, Meenu!

Is he a regular customer?

“Rohit Chauhan.” Yes, he lives nearby.

Can you lead me to his house? I want to return this bag that he forgot.

- Keep it here, I will return it for you. - But, people are watching on the live stream.

Let me show you to his place.

Or, what if Meenu shows me to his house?

She likes Rik Rok, right?

- Will you come with me, Meenu? - Yes.

Go along, take her to Rohit’s place.

Show her how well you can dance as well.

We are standing inside Mr. Chauhan’s building.

This is the lobby.

It’s nice, right?

- Which floor does he live on? - The 3rd floor.

Ok, here we go. We will take the lift.

- Can you call for the lift? - On it.

- Will he be home? - Yes!

Fingers crossed!

Meenu, let’s pout for the camera!

So, this is THE Rohit Chauhan’s house.

- I guess he lives on rent here. - I’m not sure.

I hope he is at home, so that I can safely return his bag to him.

Meenu, can you be the cameraman now?

I’m ringing the bell.

It’s to your right.

- Is it here? - Yes.

The door seems to be open.

- Meenu, come here. You know him, right? - Yes.

Just call him. I will open the door.

- Brother, Rohit! - Come!

Wow, we have directly entered without an invitation.

Come in, call him.

Sister!

- Dad! - Aaah!

There is smoke coming out of my ears,

My body is soaking in sweat.

There is smoke coming out of my ears,

My body is soaking in sweat.

The wind blew off your scarf,

And it’s me who’s left shivering.

The wind blew off your scarf,

And it’s me who’s left shivering.

Looking at your state,

Someone called upon the doctor.

Upon checking your heartbeats,

This is what the doctor did.

He tried to ward off evil using a lemon!

He tried to ward off evil using a lemon!

He tried to ward off evil using a lemon!

He tried to ward off evil using a lemon!

Your eyes spell black magic, Time to sprinkle healing powders.

I must hang some lemon and chillies, To protect myself from possible evil.

He seems to be baffled by my beauty,

Tried following me on a winding journey, And met with a crash.

He came with a garland for me, I sent him back with a bell around his neck.

He came to prey on me, He became my prey instead.

He tried to ward off evil using a lemon!

He tried to ward off evil using a lemon!

He tried to ward off evil using a lemon!

He tried to ward off evil using a lemon!

One “hello” from me brought all the boys to the yard.

The boys started topping up their mobile recharges.

One “hello” from me brought all the boys to the yard.

The boys started topping up their mobile recharges.

I asked them if they had dinner. They started gorging on food.

One flying kiss from you, Made the boys run helter-skelter.

My name started getting linked to all the boys in the neighbourhood.

When the boys realised it’s the same girl, Jealous, they went after each other.

He tried to ward off evil using a lemon!

He tried to ward off evil using a lemon!

He tried to ward off evil using a lemon!

He tried to ward off evil using a lemon!

Here’s a gift from the gods.

Pull it towards yourself! He could barely hold the bottle!

That’s enough for me.

Here you go, Avi. Wait for the “cheers”.

Here you go, Sanju.

And this one is for uncle.

- Check this out..tell me when to stop. - Don’t stop!

Here you go uncle, a double shot for you.

Show the kids how it’s done.

Go for it, let’s drink it in one go.

No, I’m good. You guys can continue.

Come on, now.

It was such a great party.

Did you see my would-be wife’s performance?

- Hello, she’s mine. - Not at all! She’s mine!

Have it to celebrate her performance.

The doctor has advised me not to drink.

We won’t be informing the doctor, don’t worry.

Will you have a small drink?

My stomach hurts. I was discharged from the hospital just yesterday.

Forget it.

I don’t want to be blamed for anything later.

Sunya, you take this instead.

Take it, Sunya.

Why are you just sniffing at it? Drink it!

- Go for it uncle. - Looks like someone is tempted now!

Look at him go!

- Can you get the car? - On it.

- How does it feel? - Rohit?

Can you come here for a moment?

Coming!

What should I get for you brother?

Will you have a drink?

I thought you were educated.

I hoped that made you a sensible person.

What’s wrong?

Why make him drink when the doctor advised him not to?

Your celebration could be fatal for him.

His liver is damaged.

Will you wipe his family’s tears after he is gone?

I’m sorry, brother. I will be right back. I’m sorry!

Sunya, please drop uncle home.

I’m sorry, brother.

The car is here.

What are you up to?

You were right..

His liver is fully damaged.

He is not going to live for long.

He might die any day. Won’t survive the year for sure.

He has wasted his earnings on alcohol all his life.

Whatever remains, will now have to be spent on medicines.

His house is under mortgage as well.

If they lose the house, his family will be on the streets this year.

So your plan is to kill him sooner?

Will you decide who should live, and who must die?

Do you think you’re God?

Will they save the house by merely reducing medical costs?

Nothing like that.

He has an insurance policy with a cover of 20 lakhs.

This guy has an insurance policy?

Yes.

His wife is smart.

I lent her the money to pay the premium.

I see. So, this is your plan after all.

Do you realise one thing?

You are planning to kill someone.

Why would you think that?

I’m planning no such thing.

What do you think?

Has he quit drinking?

He still drinks every day.

Your guy can vouch for it.

I advised her to take out an insurance policy for the sake of the children.

I am just a small player.

I only help people receive their insurance claims.

Big politicians go after people’s lives for the smallest of reasons.

- What did you just say? - People are watching.

- Hands off me. - He’s one of our own.

You speak too much.

I should rip off your tongue. It’s a small thing for me, right?

Listen, I need you to quit your shady businesses.

And don’t you dare bring up my name anywhere.

No brother, I would never do that.

I don’t engage in illegal businesses anyway.

Do you think I am naive enough to believe that?

You get work done by telling people that we are related, right?

Where did you get his health certificate for an insurance policy?

Should I probe into these things?

There is still time to mend your ways.

Else it won’t matter that you are related to me.

Understood?

Let’s go.

Rohidas?

Rohidas?

What are you doing here?

Is brother with you as well?

It’s just me.

Did he ask you to meet me?

I was just passing by.

I thought we could have tea together.

- You want to have tea with me? - Yes.

Ok, sure.

Let’s go to the tea stall.

- At the tea stall? - Yeah..

Ok.

- Come.. - You go ahead, I’ll join you.

Come..

Go on, have some tea.

Tell me honestly - did brother send you?

I swear, no.

Things are stressful at home.

What happened?

Do you know Daddu?

- Your grandfather, right? - Yes

He hasn’t been keeping well.

He’s on his deathbed.

His days are numbered.

We spent a lot of money on his treatment.

Why don’t you tell your boss about it?

I did.

He told me money is tight, what with the upcoming elections.

Of course.

Also, I don’t rank high in his list of important people.

I thought I should figure out a solution by myself.

That’s the only way out.

So, I thought of meeting you.

There are certain adjustments that we must do..

I know what you’re getting at. That won’t be possible.

What do you mean?

You want to get a life insurance policy in your grandfather’s name, right?

Yes, you are right.

It won’t work.

- Why not? - He’s too old.

You don’t get life insurance at his age.

It won’t work out.

But instead..

We can get an Accidental Cover for him.

He is bedridden.

How will that work?

I’ll tell you.

Listen carefully.

- Stay at home, close to your grandfather. - Faizu, wake up! Quick, wake up!

Grandpa is not responding. I cannot find a pulse either.

Don’t let anyone know, including your family, when he actually passes away.

Just inform me right away.

Move.

Alim uncle?

What are you doing here?

I was out for my morning walk.

I heard noises, so I came to check.

Tell the entire neighbourhood now.

Dad, step aside. Let me check.

Please keep quiet. Don’t cause panic.

He is alive.

His blood pressure is low. Hence, he is breathing gently.

We will have to take him to the hospital.

Look at Rumi, she is quite smart. Left the room right away.

Don’t cause panic. His BP might shoot up.

- But, isn’t that a good thing? - What is a good thing?

His BP is low right now. It would be good if it goes up because of us, right?

You should fear God, at least. What kind of a treatment is this?

God should claim your life before my grandfather’s.

- Out, everyone. - But..

Hello, Rohidas? Come at once.

We have to take grandpa to the hospital.

Yes, come now.

Move out. Are you a doctor?

He thinks crowding the patient will help.

- Rohidas? - Son..

Rumi is indeed sensible.

She called for the doctor right away. Let’s go in, doctor.

Hold on, where are you going?

Wait.

We don’t need a doctor anymore. Grandpa told me himself.

He just wants to rest. There’s no need for a check up.

What do you mean?

How is he back to normal and speaking as well?

- Yes, he just spoke to me. - Why did you disturb my sleep then?

Move aside!

This old man has nothing better to do.

Let’s go.

I called a cab to take him to the hospital.

Not needed.

Everything is ok now.

We need not take him to the hospital.

His grandpa told Faizu himself.

- He wants to stay at home. - Really?

Is he able to speak?

Forget about my grandfather, let me drop you back home first.

Not back home. I was out for a walk.

At this hour, and in someone else’s house?

Out of here, come on. I’ll escort you.

Come on. You can also leave. You can go back to sleep.

We will take him to the hospital.

- Is he fine? - He is dead.

On our way, we will crash into a tree.

You and I will get injured. But the crash will be fatal for you grandpa.

All of this will happen after he has passed?

Of course. We won’t actually be killing him!

My conscience has to be clear.

Didn’t you just tell me?

That his days are numbered?

Then let him count his final days at his pace.

We will also need time to get hold of the policy.

I need to set it up with the police and doctors to make it happen.

Shall we do it, then?

Have you filed for a claim before this?

You seem experienced.

All the documents are properly organised.

Who is he?

He is a friend.

Rohidas, he’s a local.

Greetings.

You seem to be injured as well.

Yes, we were together.

- Just you two? - Three, including his grandpa.

Of course, grandpa as well.

Hmm.

We have a problem.

- What is it? - Form "C-27" is missing.

We need an affidavit of the death certificate.

Signed by the magistrate.

But sir..

Isn't that applicable at the district or sub-district level?

A notarised document should work at the village level.

- That one we have. - It isn't here.

Here it is.

Form C-37 is right here.

That’s right. Form “C-37”. It’s right here.

You seem familiar with the process.

- Not really.. - Of course he is!

He was an insurance agent before.

He practised for 3-4 years.

Is that so?

You were an insurance agent?

Dada..

What..

What brings you here?

Election campaigns are on.

Dada has been involved personally.

He said to me..

“Faisal Surti has suffered a great loss.”

“Since I'm in the vicinity, I must pay him a visit.”

I brought him here at once.

Of course, right away.

Alim bhai told me about the incidents from that day.

Anyway..

We haven’t been properly introduced.

- Greetings! - Get a chair!

I am Dadasaheb Thorve. I’m the head of the village.

Greetings. I am Sharad Dixit.

A Claim Investigation Officer with Aayaavi Insurance.

That's lovely.

I hope there are no challenges here?

Nope. I’m almost done with my work.

But, there a few more steps to the process.

Before I hand in my report..

I must meet the doctor and the police in-charge of this case.

That means..

You have to visit two more places in the village.

That’s right.

Is that bike yours?

Yes, it’s mine.

If you can handover the keys, my man Gopal will ride it.

I can give you a ride in my car.

Listen, Gopal..Follow us on his bike.

That’s alright. I’ll manage.

Let me decide that.

I mean..

Why navigate these roads in this heat?

What if you suffer a heatstroke?

You might meet with an accident yourself.

Like I said, I can manage on my own.

Is that so?

The thing is..

I am trying to help you out of respect.

Can you at least respect that?

Listen..

I'm eager to show all the development we have done in this village.

Listen, Gopal..take him with you.

Sit him in the car, and get him a cold drink.

Sir, this way..

Sir, shall we?

My deepest condolences.

Unfortunately, we have to succumb to God's plan.

During such difficult times..

If there’s anything that I can do for you, don’t hesitate to reach out.

We are grateful that you came all the way here to offer your condolences.

Take our Faisal under your wing, that’s all I would ask for.

You are embarrassing me.

Faisal has spread his wings now.

He knows what’s good or bad for him.

Along with that..

He has such highly educated friends for any advice that he needs.

Don't worry.

I'm keeping an eye on him.

- Anyway, I’ll take your leave now. - Sure.

My dear boys..

I came all the way here to meet you.

Won’t you at least escort me on my way out?

Didn't I warn you about this?

You chose not to listen to me.

How much are you claiming under insurance?

- Nothing like that.. - We haven't really..

- We haven’t claimed anything. - Nothing at all.

Shut up! Not another word.

I want answers to my questions.

Else, get ready for a reunion with grandpa.

How much are you claiming under insurance?

Twenty lakh rupees.

- How much is his cut? - No way, there is no such thing.

Nothing.

Er..

Eight lakh rupees.

Eight lakhs.

I’ll handle verification with the police and the hospital.

But the day you receive the insurance money..

The same day..

Take the full amount..

And deposit the money at my office.

How much will you deposit?

Twenty lakh rupees.

Hmm?

Twenty.

Hmm!

Start the car.

Why did you tell him about my cut?

What other option did I have?

What should I do?

Sign here.

Here?

Done.

What about the money?

You'll get it, be patient.

Thank you!

We will take your leave. Thank you!

Now all that’s left is to deposit this cheque in your bank account.

I have my cheque book with me.

Why do you need that?

To write a cheque to Dada.

Are you crazy?

We can’t give them a cheque. We must pay them in cash.

Why though?

Because, this is black money for Dada.

A cheque won’t work.

Should I call him and reconfirm?

He has ignored our calls all these days.

Why will he answer now?

As it is, we’ll only reach the village at night.

How can we go and ask him at that hour?

Here's what we should do.

Let’s deposit the cheque. It will take 2-3 hours to clear.

Let’s withdraw the money in cash.

Let’s personally handover the cash tomorrow to Dada.

Sorted.

Go to the bank. I will meet you outside once you have the money.

Meanwhile, I’ll arrange for a taxi.

- Let’s go. - Why do we need a taxi?

My friend..

We must travel by a private car.

Do you think it's safe to carry this much cash in a public bus?

I'm not used to handling cash.

My friend, cash is like family. Always keep it close.

Do you have the cash?

Keep it in the bag.

- The file as well? - Yes.

Zip it.

I’ll carry it. Let's go.

- Where’s the taxi? - This way.

Let’s hand over the cash to Dada first thing in the morning.

Sure. Let's head back to the village right away.

That's our taxi.

Which one?

Is it that one?

The brown one.

Got it. Let’s go.

- Don’t forget the cash. - Give it here.

I’ll get the parking ticket.

- Come fast. - Go sit in the taxi.

Let’s go.

Excuse me, sir? What are you doing?

I’m with Rohidas.

Who?

Rohidas!

Who is Rohidas? Get out!

Rohidas - he booked this cab for our ride back to the village.

What village? Get lost!

But, Rohidas has made a booking.

I don’t know any Rohidas.

Go take the usual bus. Bloody freeloader looking for an AC ride.

You don't have to push me.

I told you to get lost!

I'm going.

Don't dawdle.

Hey, just leave!

Mind your language. I’m going.

Rohidas?

Hey!

Why does the bag feel weird?

Oh no!

What the hell!

Madam..Madam, hold on.

Where do you think you are going?

I have an appointment.

I know, but you can’t simply barge in there.

Please wait here, I’ll inform sir.

Have a seat.

Okay.

- Can I go in? - Actually, sir is coming out.

- Please wait here. - Okay.

- Have a seat. - I'm good.

Please call Sandeep sir.

- Hi, Deepika! - Hi, Sir!

- How are you? - I’m great!

I heard great things about your documentary.

- Heard? Haven’t you watched it yet? - I know, I know..

It's on my watchlist.

- It’s available on Nutflix, right? - For 2 months now. Please watch it!

I will, definitely. So..

How may I help you?

What have we done to make you create a ruckus?

Really now, sir!

Can you imagine me creating a ruckus?

But, I certainly need your help. Hold on.

The police has issued an NOC for conducting social activities..

..At the Malad Biodiversity Park.

The NOC is for the Horizon Recreation Club.

- We think that something fishy is going on here. - Sandeep?

Yes sir?

Deepika has raised concerns about the activities conducted at this park.

- Have you looked into it? - Yes sir.

The NOC is granted to a senior citizens club.

We have permitted limited activities.

They are allowed to water the plants.

Set up water tanks for the birds, and so on.

The senior citizens club is just a facade.

In reality..

They are conducting paid tours at the park.

- The NOC restricts all paid activities. - Are you sure?

I have the copy of the certificate.

It doesn't mention any such restrictions.

Madam, it is mentioned in the addendum clause.

I can give you a copy for reference.

Yes please, that would be helpful.

- Give me ten minutes. - Sure thing.

Great!

Make sure Deepika gets all the documents that she needs.

Sure.

- Thank you, sir. Thank you! - You are in safe hands.

- Madam? - Hmm?

What’s with the commotion outside?

Didn’t you hear about the vlogger?

She made a video with a dead body!

What?

She is being taken into custody.

The media is having a field day.

She made a video with a dead body?

Yes. Didn’t you hear about it?

The video has gone viral.

Take a look.

"Call him"..

Meenu, now you are the cameraman.

- Madam.. - Hmm?

She didn't shoot a video ‘with' the dead body.

Of course, she has.

She found a dead body while making the video.

Here.

You never know with these vloggers.

They can go to any extent for content.

Sir, believe me. I'm just a laundry man. I didn't do anything.

Madam, escort her to the juvenile room.

Where are you taking her? She’s just a kid!

Then why did you send her along?

You fancied being in the video too, right?

Take him inside.

- But she came asking us! - Make him sit in there.

Please, she is just a kid. She did nothing wrong.

- Sir, please! - Make sure he sits away from the girl.

Should we roll a red carpet for you?

- I didn’t do anything wrong. - Oh really?

Think you did nothing wrong?

You entered his house for the video!

Do you know what trespassing means?

Or do they just teach how to click selfies in your college?

Sit on that bench.

Madam will call you in for enquiry.

Is madam in today?

Yes.

Start tomorrow with a clean slate.

Before your sleep-filled eyes rest for the day..

The heart tells you to flash a quick bright smile.

Upload these moments, and share them with the world!

- Sorry, Ma'am. It took longer than I expected. - No problem.

Here are the copies that you requested.

Great. Also, don’t be so formal.

You can simply call me Deepika.

It will make our work together easier.

Sure, Deepika.

Umm, Sandeep?

What about the governance?

- The local policemen will keep a watch. - Great!

I'll share my number with you.

- That would be great. - Call me directly for any concerns.

- Yes. Tell me. - 9-5-0-3..

- 4-7 - Come here.

Deepika?

Yes? Right, sorry!

- 9-5-0-3-4-7-4-7-4-7 - Is this correct?

- That’s me. - Ok!

- Thank you.. - You’re welcome.

Verify your personal information.

If everything is correct, sign here.

Everything is correct.

Who told you to sign here!

I don’t have all day for this!

Sorry, where am I supposed to sign?

Right across my forehead!

Look here.

Check these details carefully, and sign here.

Madam?

You could have told her nicely.

You aren't allowed to leave the city without police permission.

Go home now, and come back tomorrow.

Get going.

Listen, wait.

Don't go out from here.

The media must be right outside.

Come with me.

Come here..

Is anyone here with you?

Is anyone coming?

- Do you want to call someone? - Yes!

What’s wrong?

The battery is down.

- Do you know the number? - Yes?

Hello Shruti, it’s me.

Where have you been? Your phone is not reachable.

My battery is dead. I'm at the police station.

I saw on the news, I'm almost there.

- Are you here? - Mangesh is with me as well.

Tell her that you are near room number 19.

I am right outside room number 19.

Hang in there, we will find you.

Who’s coming?

- It's my friends. - Oh, very good.

Are you okay?

What did the police say?

Khushi, what’s wrong?

Khushi?

It will be ok.

We’re here for you. Don’t worry.

It will be alright.

- Khushi, please don’t cry. - Calm down..

- This is Deepika madam. She helped me in there. - Hi!

- Thank you, madam. - It’s ok.

Take her home now.

A word of advice. Don't speak to anyone about this incident.

Avoid speaking to any local polititian, and especially to the media.

Also, please call a family member here for support.

Let's head towards the car parking.

We are at the two-wheeler parking.

We both came on separate bikes.

It won't be safe to take her home on a two-wheeler.

The media will be sure to chase you.

Madam, you're right.

- We'll call for a cab instead. - Hold on..

I'll drop you home.

Ok? Let's go.

Let’s drop her home. Follow that bike.

Ok, madam.

Don’t be afraid.

The police may seem strict. But once they verify that you’re innocent..

Then they won’t trouble you at all.

But..

- I haven’t done anything. - Exactly why you shouldn’t worry.

I hope you learnt an important lesson here?

If you weren’t so desperate for the likes and views..

Then you wouldn’t be in this situation.

So, what else do you do? Or are you a full-time vlogger?

No, madam.

- I’m actually an actress.. - Oh, wow!

But you need good following on social media these days.

Else you don’t land acting jobs.

I get it.

- Hence, the vlogging. - Hmm.

Have you watched the ad for T-rex pens?

Umm..

Not that I remember.

I was part of the commercial.

- Let me show it to you. - That's alright.

I don’t have a big portfolio. I’m still a struggling actor.

- Listen to us.. - How can you stop her from entering?

Where will she live?

What’s happening? Who are these people?

My landlord and the society chairman.

She is innocent, please listen to her once. We have no control over the media portrayal.

Look, people have started crowding here now.

- He wants you to vacate the flat. - But why?

The media and the police have been hovering all day.

They don’t want the nuisance.

What should we do now?

Ma’am, they are evicting her from our flat.

Can you talk to them? It might help.

How can I intervene? Why would they listen to me?

Yes, Janhavi?

You will have to stay with a friend.

For a few days at least.

- Should I ask Riya? - Don’t, it’s her sister’s wedding.

- I’ll reach the studio in an hour. - Should I ask Prachi?

Who is hosting the show? Ok, it's Amit. I'll see you.

What’s happening? What have you decided?

I will stay with my friend, Prachi.

- Have you checked with her? - Yes.

- Is everything sorted? - Hmm..

You have my number. Call me if you need anything.

- Take care. - Thank you, madam.

Bye.

Bye.

Let’s go.

We’re back after the break for our last segment.

Tribals broke anti-smuggling barriers to enter the forest. Right or wrong?

Anshuman, you have 30 seconds.

Wrong! The case is still open.

The tribals had themselves filed this case.

The barricades were for their own protection.

Why did they go against the law?

Then, what's the difference between these smugglers and the tribals?

Deepika, final comments from you. You have 30 seconds.

I won't support breaking the law.

But do I regret that the law was broken?

I don't.

The case has been open for 4 years now.

The smuggler lobby has be rallying.

They have taken advantage of the loopholes in the law to delay the verdict.

What option did the tribals have?

They depend on the jungles to survive.

All I am saying is..

Someone needs to hear their side as well. It could be the government or the court.

That’s it.

Are you done with the assignment?

- Hi! - Hi!

No, not yet.

Too many videos to go though, followed by the next assignment.

What kind of videos are you watching?

Hey, I know this girl.

After yesterday, everyone knows her.

Is she the topic of your assignment?

I’ve been told to find any controversial topics in her older videos.

Why just controversial topics?

Amit sir wants to talk about influencers creating nuisance.

But what has she done?

Why are you targeting her?

In fact, she’s the victim.

That's the running theme on all channels today.

And the audiences find it engaging.

What the hell is going on?

- Where’s Amit? - She just posted another reel.

What?

Hi, Khushians!

How are you all?

I wasn't up for making a reel today.

But I read all your comments on the last video.

I thought I must offer some clarity.

All of you are a witness to what happened.

Later, I was taken to the police station.

I was reprimanded.

I was told off for trespassing, and getting dragged into this matter.

They ran a background check on me.

I’m not allowed to disclose further details.

Everyone is telling me off.

My family, the police, everyone.

The media is bashing me as well.

Also, this here isn’t a virtual background.

I was evicted by my landlord, fearing police and media visits.

My office has forced me take a leave.

Friends that I could earlier count on aren’t answering my calls.

I am currently staying in a lodging facility.

Thankfully, I have Shruti with me.

Of course, I have your comments for support.

Your comments gave me the strength to make this video.

I don’t know if and when I will make the next video.

I know that I am at fault.

I shouldn’t have trespassed.

But..

Now I am really scared.

I am worried about my mom’s health.

This feels like a bad dream that I hope ends soon.

Until then..

Khushians, please keep me in your prayers.

Stay happy, keep smiling!

Hold on..

- Hello, Shruti? - Yes, madam.

- Why aren’t you living at your friend’s? - Her parents didn’t agree.

Why didn't you call me? I'm here to help you.

- Sorry, madam. - What if the media traces you down?

They will bother you like crazy.

Where’s Khushi?

I’m here madam, you're on speaker phone.

Fine, listen to me. I run an NGO.

I’ll arrange for your stay. Sending you the address.

- Will they allow us? - Don’t worry, I’ll inform them.

Ok. Thank you!

- Good Morning! - Good Morning!

- How are you? - I’m ok.

- What about Khushi? - She’s good too.

She was up talking to her family till late last night.

- I see. - Go inside, I’ll get some tea.

- Did you make it? - Yes, I bought some milk last night.

Ok. Get some plates and cutlery as well.

- I brought some breakfast for you. - Thank you!

Khushi?

- What's wrong? - Hi..

Shruti said you’re fine. What happened to your head?

I'm fine. Just suffering from migraine.

I assume you couldn't sleep at night?

How are the folks at home?

My mother's health has deteriorated after the news broke out.

My father is trying to find a nurse to look after her.

Once that is sorted, he will come here.

- Here's your tea. - Thank you.

- Wow, the tea is quite nice. - Thank you!

I hope the kitchen is stocked? Let me know if you need anything.

- I’ll have things delivered. - Is this your house?

No. It belongs to the NGO.

Whenever we have our events..

Our volunteers stay here.

Oh! By when should we vacate it?

Why, don’t you like it?

- No way, it's great! - It's a great place.

Then stop worrying!

Listen..

I’ve added your names to our volunteer list.

Let things ease down with your case.

- Then you can volunteer for our NGO. - Yes, for sure.

But..

Don't worry about that anymore. Just focus on your case.

You have to go to the police station today as well, right?

I can't think straight.

Listen Khushi..

Currently, your name is mentioned in the FIR.

Before a chargesheet is filed in the court..

Your name must move from the suspect list to the witness list.

How will that happen?

I don’t think the police suspect you.

But, they have protocols that they must follow.

They will investigate into your and Rohit's pasts.

They will speak to your employers to check for common links.

Finally, as per the results of their investigation..

They will file a chargesheet.

This sounds like a lengthy process.

Khushi..

Listen..

We can do one thing.

Let’s try to help out the police.

Your video is our only evidence.

If we gather more evidence, that should help clear your name sooner.

Do you mean to say that..

- We should investigate the matter? - Not ourselves!

We hire someone to do it.

I know many private investigators and lawyers.

We can seek help from them.

Hold on.

Hello, Varun?

I'll have one pineapple juice.

Yesterday’s incident happened in this building, right?

Sorry, what?

Yesterday’s incident happened in this building, right?

Yes.

We live in crazy times.

You can’t trust anyone.

Did you imagine that one day, a murder would take place here?

Did you know the guy, Rohit?

Was he a customer?

Which media channel are you from?

I don't work with any channel.

Do you work with the police, then?

You're kidding, right? Do I look like a police officer to you?

Then what’s with all the questions?

Even people around here aren’t asking as many questions.

I was simply curious.

You don't have to answer.

Why are you getting angry?

- How much do I pay you? - It’s written here.

Won’t even reveal this.

Keep the change.

So, all good?

All good.

- Where are you from? - I’m a local.

- Your building’s become famous. - True.

Care for a smoke?

Ahh, you don't smoke on duty I guess.

Rohit lived alone, right?

- The guy who got murdered? - Yes, he lived alone.

He must be bringing over girls.

That could be an angle.

You must know everything about who goes in and out.

Nothing escapes you, right?

Always vigilant, like a hawk.

So, tell me..

What do I tell you, sir!

It's my first day at this job.

What?

Mahesh was on duty here.

The company sacked him.

And asked me take his place.

I'll take your leave.

"Mahesh was on duty here."

And this guy is the replacement.

What a waste.

Bro, can you help me with this address?

Gotcha!

Come..

Let’s have tea.

These tactics don’t scare me.

Scared? But we’re asking for your help.

Is this how you ask for help?

- Ganesh? - Huh?

Why are you pinning him down?

Move away from him.

Now, tell me.

Start with your name.

And then, tell me what do you know about Rohit.

Who the hell are you guys? And why should I tell you anything?

- What did you just say? - Ganesh..

He’s right.

Ok, then..

I'm Varun Bhoj.

I'm a private investigator.

Which one do you like?

Ganesh, let's finalise this design.

Ok.

We work for an NGO.

- For an NGO? - Hmm..

Why is an NGO acting like the CID?

I mean, how is this case relevant to them?

I’ll explain.

Remember the girl, whose video with the dead body went viral?

She is a member of this NGO.

We are helping her.

And why should I believe you?

Can you get Khushi on a video call?

No need for that.

Why don’t we meet at the NGO’s office?

Call her there.

If whatever you told me is true..

Then I can be of help to you.

Do you have anything of value?

Or are you simply taking me for a ride?

Sir..

The information that I have is such that..

Even the police won't be able to uncover.

Even after months of investigation.

In return, I only wish to remain anonymous.

- Miss Deepika, the Director of our NGO. And Khushi. - Come, sit down.

- I'm Ravi. Here's my card. - Tell me.

What information do you have? Why did you want to meet Khushi?

No reason particularly. I just wanted to be sure about who I'm talking to.

Why?

Does your information vary according to the person?

Nothing like that. How will the information change?

But that helps me understand.

How much should be revealed to the police and the media.

You run a recruitment agency in the same building, is that right?

Yes.

Did you help Rohit in securing a job?

- Yes.. - I’m sure it was at a good position.

He could afford an entire flat all by himself.

Madam..

Rohit was a thief!.

I was just telling him. He stole money in his village and ran away.

About 4 days back..

A man from his village came looking for him.

His name was Faisal.

Rohit had stolen 20 lakh rupees.

Faisal had been looking for him for almost six months.

He was extremely angry. He created a ruckus in my office.

He insulted me in my own office.

Is that when you gave him Rohit's address?

No way. I wasn't sure about what lengths he might go to.

I didn’t share the address with him.

But Rohit had a routine.

For tea and cigarettes.

I only told Faisal about this routine.

The next thing I saw was Rohit's dead body in her video.

Ravi...Tell me something.

- What exactly did Rohit do here? - He had a job, madam.

- How much did he earn? - Hmm?

What was his salary? 50k? 60k?

Must be around 50-60k, yes.

The house that he was staying in -

Its rent was 80k per month.

Exactly, madam. He also had the stolen money with him.

How much was it? 15 lakh? 16 lakh?

Yes, around 15-20 lakhs.

The deposit for that house must be around 7-8 lakhs.

Add to that the latest phone, expensive bike, all that new furniture.

I doubt he could afford it with a 50-60k salary per month.

My question remains the same.

What exactly was Rohit up to here?

This is impressive, madam.

She’s the real investigator here.

What are you charging for?

She is truly the boss.

- Should I repeat my question? - Hmm!

What was Rohit up to?

Did you verify all his documents?

Are you unaware, or are you simply hiding things?

Listen, madam..

I’m trying to help you. And you are accusing me instead.

Get her cold drink.

You are the one sweating, though.

I'm alright.

You’re here to help us, right? Then help us for real.

This is a waste of time. He is utterly useless.

Madam, hear me out.

Who killed Rohit?

I don’t know.

But why would anyone want to kill him?

That I know.

The name, Rohit Chauhan..

Is a name he adopted after moving here.

His real name is Rohidas Chavan.

He was a troublemaker.

He was the kind of person..

Who would dupe even the people closest to him.

He stole money from someone in the village six months ago.

He lived a lavish life here.

I met him for the first time when he came to my office.

He came looking for a job. He didn't even have a CV.

He asked me for a list of documents required for a job application.

You don't have to come all the way just to submit the documents.

- You can email the soft copies to me. - Ok, sir.

I will secure a job, right?

- 1:5, I remember. Thank you, have a nice day. - You too.

Later, he kept on meeting me.

Sometimes over a tea and a smoke.

Sometimes at my office with sweets offered to god.

He submitted all the right documents.

I gave him several job options, but he insisted on getting a job in an insurance company.

Finally, one day..

He met Bipin.

Dubai is the best option.

You'll undergo proper training for the job.

And earn enough to buy your own house in the next 10 years.

People are willing to pay me twice the commission for such job openings.

Take triple commission from me. But find me a job in an insurance company.

I mean..

That's the only thing that I'm good at.

Listen..

Your profile doesn't become lucrative just because you were an insurance agent once.

Why not?

The bylanes of Mumbai are brimming with insurance agents.

Your laundry guy is an agent as well.

- But he and I are different. - How does it matter?

Tell me?

This guy has a policy in his name as well.

Hey, Harish! You have an insurance policy, right?

Yup.

Which policy is it?

Life Insurance.

What is the insurance cover?

Twenty Lakh rupees.

You should upgrade it.

Life insurance cover must be at least thirty lakhs.

What will we do with so much money?

I do have have two policies worth twenty lakhs anyway.

See?

A single policy with a cover of thirty lakhs is still better.

Really?

What's the logic behind this?

- There is logic behind it. - Tell me?

It helps avoid problems in the future.

- What kind of problems? - There could be problems.

- But what kind of problems? - The tea is cold. Reheat it for me.

I think it's logical.

I have done my research on the topic.

- I don’t have spare change. Pay digitally. - I don’t have a digital ID.

Ok. I will send someone to your office to collect money later.

Listen, don't send anyone at my office.

How much spare change do you have?

Take Rs.500, and give me Rs.300.

- What about the rest? - Keep the change.

Consider it as payment for their tea.

Ravi sir, this guy has paid for your tea.

- Hey, tattoo! - Hmm?

I have an outstanding bill since a couple of months. Can you clear that as well?

Is he a friend of yours?

Not at all. That guy is quite shady.

He avoided paying digitally because he want to disclose his number.

I don't understand.

You know this call centre, right?

It isn’t really a call centre.

Then what is it?

I mean, it is a call centre. But their business is shady.

Is it for “adults”? Where they call to ask if you are lonely and need a friend?

No, that’s in the other building.

Ever heard of the credit card scam, where people ask you to reveal your OTP?

That's what his office does.

I had approached them to pitch my services.

I told them that I can help with finding great employees.

I wasn’t even allowed inside their office.

Even the tea vendor isn't allowed inside.

Anyway, where were we?

Don't you keep saying that-

That you want an apartment in Mumbai, a car, a bike and so on?

A job in insurance won’t make any of this happen.

It's not as easy as you would think.

I only said that it's something I'm good at.

I never said its easy.

Careful! Stop, stop. I want to eat an ice cream.

- No way. - Let's eat an ice cream, come on!

It's already quite late. My wife must be furious. Let's go.

You secured such a nice job for me. Let me at least say thank you properly.

Is this rose flavoured ice cream? I will have two.

It's not rose, it's strawberry flavoured.

- We'll have two strawberry ice creams. - That's strawberry?

Actually, that's guava flavoured ice cream.

Then give us two guava ice creams.

The guavas are perhaps from the hilly region.

That explains the blush-like colour.

Are people running a marathon today?

What’s happening?

What the hell!

The police have raided that call centre!

Hey, give a proper scoop. This one simply dropped.

He dropped it himself.

What's wrong with you?

Tell me?

It's nothing.

Both you and the ice cream have gone pale.

Isn’t that the same guy?

Check it out.

It's the same guy from the other day.

Run, run for your life!

Inspector, here they are!

Inspector, catch this guy!

Shut up! What are you doing?

The police might hear you, be quiet.

- Is the police after you? - I don’t know. This idiot started screaming.

Are you hurt?

I think I twisted my leg.

I hope it's not broken. Let me see what I can do.

Get your bike. Let's drop him home.

- No way! - Why not?

Let's go, what's the problem?

Why did you cover my mouth and ask me to shut up?

Sorry, my friend.

This isn’t a good idea.

The poor chap will get caught.

So be it. He is a scammer anyway.

- Hello, where are you? - He’s not a scammer.

He works at the call centre, perhaps out of necessity.

- I won’t take risks for him. - Keep it down!

You can take him to your place if you like.

Listen, I was kidding.

It's fine, you can go home.

- I’ll figure something out. - Don’t get involved in this.

Go home, your wife must be upset.

I'll handle this, don't worry.

Go home, come on.

Come with me, I'll drop you.

Careful, slow down.

They became friends after that night, madam.

Not only Bipin, but..

Rohit became friends with a few more call centre employees.

I asked him what he was up to.

He said the boys had mended their ways.

They were launching a startup.

Rohit was helping them out.

You tell me -

What kind of startup is this?

They were minting lakhs of rupees from day one.

And the guys?

They were fast upgrading their lifestyles.

They bought expensive bikes and phones.

They were talking about buying cars as well.

You many not believe in superstitions, but..

God is always watching.

What happened next was bound to happen.

They started fighting about who deserved the larger share in profits.

What’s wrong?

Is the wife upset?

What's new?

Don’t ever get married.

Bro?

Bro, should I make you a drink?

There's enough for the two of you.

- Here you go. - No way..

I don't think it's enough for two.

There’s enough for two.

Guess who gets enough?

Of course, Rohit.

Who gets the lion's share?

Rohit sir!

- Am I right? - Absolutely.

Am I right or am I right?

He’s had too much to drink. Take him home.

I'm fine. Don't change the topic, now.

Who gets the largest share?

Who’s buying the biggest car? Rohit!

Who gets the largest share? It's Rohit, always!

- I said that's enough. - Don’t point your finger at me!

- Let’s talk when you’re sober. - I want to speak now.

That's enough.

- Woah, he's angry now. - Tell him to shut up.

Don't you point your finger at me!

You've crossed a line!

- Let’s go. - Meet me tomorrow!

Shut up and keep walking.

- Let’s go. - Pointing fingers at me.

- What does he think of himself? - Enough, let’s go.

Where’s the cab?

Why did you take that tone with him?

He has done a lot for you.

Oh really?

Forget me, he wouldn't even go the extra mile for his family.

He did save you from the police that day.

And why did he save me?

Because he wanted to build a team of his own.

But it's for your startup, right?

Our what now?

- Startup. - Hahaha!

Brother, Ravi.

You're such a cutie.

I will tell you one thing.

In life..

Only buy that insurance policy..

Which has a cover of more than 30 lakhs.

Else, beware of our "startup".

- Bipin, hang on. - Let’s go. The OTP is 1213.

Let’s have a smoke before you leave.

- What happened? - Wait for 2 minutes.

- What happened, Ravi? - Come with me.

What were you saying?

- About the 30 lakh cover? - What about it?

What will your startup do?

The thing is..

If the policy cover is above 30 lakhs..

Then, police verification is mandatory.

Right.

The police actually visit your home.

They verify who has actually died.

To check if the claimant is indeed family.

But if the policy cover is under 30 lakhs..

Then police verification is not mandatory.

This idiot..

He sits in the insurance agency office.

Pulls out a list of all such policies.

And puts a fake claim against such policies.

For this he needs all fake documents.

Fake addresses, fake ids, and so on. That's why he needs a team.

This is our "startup".

Do you get it, Ravi?

This can’t be so easy to pull off!

Someday you might get caught.

When would that happen?

Only when someone dies and the family applies for the claim.

By then, we would have already devoured their 25 lakhs!

I won't do this forever though.

Will continue till we reach 15-20 claims.

Then we are set.

That's what Rohit says.

I should go now.

Taxi?

Bye bye, goodnight.

Let’s go.

I learnt my lesson that day.

I cut all connections with them.

Rohit must have been relieved.

My questions would get frustrating for him.

I always questioned his logic.

I don't know what happened between them later.

You can use this information the way you deem fit.

I have a humble request for you all.

I have a family.

I would really appreciate it if..

You didn't involve me in the police and court proceedings.

Do you have Faisal's or Bipin's phone numbers?

Yes, I will send you their contacts.

Do you have any pictures of them?

I don't have a picture with Bipin really.

- The office CCTVs should have captured it. - Right!

We’ll need that footage.

Sure. You should find it there.

I’ll have the footage sent over.

Can I Take your leave?

All the best to you, madam.

- If you ever need a job.. - You may leave, thank you.

- What do you think? - Hmm?

Was he telling the truth?

Would the police believe this story?

I mean..

We don’t have any proof as such.

See..

It's the police's responsibility to gather evidence. Not ours.

But if his story is true..

We can at least point the police in the right direction.

In my opinion, he was telling the truth.

Why else would he show up himself to share information?

He could have kept his silence.

He was right about one thing though.

If the police had to investigate from scratch..

It would have taken them at least 6 months.

Woah!

Where did you go, all decked up?

Her TV series completed 100 episodes. They had a success party.

Congratulations! We have a celebrity with us.

Not at all. I'm just a junior writer in the team.

How was your day? Any progress?

It was great.

Today’s turn of events would make for great content for your TV series.

- Ew, sounds like a depressing story. - Why?

When people get scammed..

- They must be miserable. - That won’t be the angle of the story.

It would be from the scammer’s point of view. Interesting, right?

What do you think, Shruti?

Hmm, that sounds like an idea.

The love-story angle is such a hit in TV series

The scam angle might work as well.

They are both quite similar.

- How are they similar? - I mean..

Be it love or scam..

You believe in it only when you fall for it.

Wow, what a line!

You're such a drama queen!

We have Faisal’s photo.

Khushi, do we know this guy?

Do you remember seeing him?

Was he in one of your vlogs?

He was in the same building that day!

This is solid evidence!

- So, Faisal is from a village called Pimpalner. - Yes.

- And the victim, Rohit, is also from there? - Yes.

Rohit’s real name was Rohidas Chavan.

Rohit Chauhan was a fake identity.

- Where is the CCTV footage from? - From an informer’s office. Ravi.

But, he wants to stay out of this.

You can easily verify this information with the village's local police department, right?

Deepika, this is good.

But we can continue with this investigation after 8-10 days.

- Why? - It’s the PM’s Mumbai visit next week.

The ACP has given strict orders to focus on that.

- Everything else is second priority. - Should I talk to sir? He’ll listen to me.

His text says, “No special treatment to any case.”

- Want to see his text? - I believe you.

- He has a point, it's the PM.. - I completely agree..

But people like Faisal and Bipin won't hang around for 10 days.

We’ll lose them, Sandeep.

We’ll find them.

It might simply take us longer.

But, we don't have time, Sandeep!

The chargesheet will be filed in a few days.

The poor girl will be on the list of suspects.

She comes from a humble background.

She won't be able to handle these court proceedings.

She’s already in shock.

But I have my orders, Deepika.

Okay.

My bad.

I shouldn’t have walked in with evidence.

- I should have nabbed the criminals directly. - Deepika..

What more should I say? I had high hopes from you.

Forget it, I’ll figure out a way.

I can only spare half a day.

And that too, off the record.

- Really? - Hmm!

Ok.

- Do you have their addresses? - No, I have mobile numbers.

Here..

Ashwini madam, I’m sending two phone numbers.

Triangulate their locations over the past 2-3 days.

Hmm, ok.

- Done? - Thank you!

Bipin’s phone has been switched off for days.

Faisal appears to be in Kurla West, somewhere near Kamble Nagar.

Kurla West?

Get me list of all the lodging hotels in this locality.

There are 11 lodging hotels in the area.

- Is there a mosque near any of them? - I’ll check.

These three lodging hotels are close to the two mosques in the locality.

- Let’s start our search with this lodge. - Ok.

Jadhav?

We're headed for a search. Get dressed in civil clothes.

Let’s go.

At times it’s a hurry-scurry.

At times it’s like chasing a scaredy cat.

At times it’s madness. Something always smells fishy!

At times it’s a chase.

At times caught up in each other’s business.

Always a unique mess. Something always smells fishy!

- Are there rooms available? - Yes

- Show us. - This way.

There’s always a scapegoat,

Jadhav, check in there.

Such an outcry. It’s always a chaos!

Do you know this guy?

Is he staying here?

No, sir.

Fine. Let’s go.

A hundred ways, and yet they're wrong.

No one really knows the right one!

From among all the frauds, Can't ring the right one.

It's a twisted tale!

Rooms with or without AC? I’ll need your IDs.

Is he staying here?

Yes, sir! This idiot is staying here!

- This way sir. - Quick!

The moment I saw him, I knew he was trouble!

This way sir, right ahead.

Madam, our hotel is quite "clean".

- I mean, it's family-friendly. - Keep walking.

- Sir! It's this room. - This one?

- Come out, fool! - Easy!

- Hold him. - Don’t go easy on him, sir!

What's wrong? I've paid for the room!

Does he look like this?

Look carefully!

He’s a few shades darker.

I’m sorry, sir!

What a waste of time!

It's a deep deep rabbit hole, And down it goes.

We will positively find him.

Let's check in the two other lodges.

In this messy whole!

In this messy whole!

In this messy whole!

In this messy whole!

In this messy whole!

Get up!

W..Who are you?

Sit up straight!

Are you the police?

Sir?

Sir?

You must answer all of sir’s questions truthfully.

Go on!

Sir, I haven’t done anything. Why have I been brought here?

Enough with your drama!

We have some highly incriminating evidence against you.

- Spill the truth, come on! - What evidence, sir?

Are you talking about that video? Sir, please don’t trust what you saw in the video.

- I haven't done anything! - Shh..

Did you not kill Rohidas?

No way! Why would I kill him?

- He was going to give me my money. - Listen, Faisal.

The longer you take to confess, the more difficult we make your life.

Sir, you have to believe me.

I swear, I saw him dead. But I didn’t kill him.

Madam..I am in even deeper trouble because of his death.

How come?

- Speak up! - Yes sir!

Sir..

Back in the village, Rohidas duped me and Dadasaheb and ran away.

Forget about me, but Dadasaheb is a big man.

That incident bruised his ego.

- Dadasaheb told me.. - Keep talking.

He told me to either find Rohidas, or bring back the money he stole.

Until then, I was banished from the village.

Rohidas doesn't have a family.

He got away.

But it wasn’t easy for me. I have a family, madam.

- I have to look after parents and a sister. - Enough with your drama.

I haven’t met my family since the past six months. Not kidding.

I couldn't trace Rohidas.

I received a call from an unknown number.

They told me that Rohidas is here, in Mumbai.

In Nehru Nagar area.

They said ask the local realtor. He would be able to help me.

What was I supposed to do!

I met the agent, asked around some more in the area.

I found out one place where he went for a tea and smoke everyday.

You idiot! I want my money back!

Give me my money back!

- Why did you scam me? - Let me explain!

I’ve been looking for you since the last six months. I want my money back!

Faisal, hang on. My brother, calm down.

I want my money back!

Hey! Let go of him!

What’s going on?!

Sir, he has stolen my money. Arrest him!

First, come with me to the police station.

Sir, please wait!

Sir, listen..

It's an internal family matter. He is my brother.

Sorry, sir. I’ll sort this out.

It’s a family matter. Come here..

Here, take this.

It's just a family matter. I will sort it out with him.

Fine, I’m letting you go for now.

- Come on, apologise to him! - I'm sorry.

- Get going now. - I'll handle him.

- Let’s discuss calmly. - I want my money back!

- I will return it, I'm not running away! - It's been six months!

Come..Just come with me.

Look, Faisal..

The deal that I made with you..

It was with a pure heart.

I would not have run away had Dada not interfered.

How much do you owe Dada? Twenty lakh rupees, right?

I’ll give you twenty-five lakhs instead. Pay Dada his twenty lakhs..

And then join me here.

20 lakhs is a trivial amount. I’m earning 30 lakhs monthly.

Then give me my twenty-five lakhs.

Sure, come home for dinner. I will give you the cash.

- Get me a plate of bread and butter. - Don’t try to butter me up!

Do I look like an idiot to you?

If I wanted to fool you, would I have saved you from the policeman?

He would have arrested you. I would have run scot-free.

I would have informed Dada regarding your whereabouts.

I left everything behind when I fled the village.

You think I wouldn't escape a second time?

- Look, you are like a brother to me. - Nonsense.

You aren't a problem for me. In fact, you're the solution to my problems.

How’s that?

I need a team to run the scheme that I am currently running.

I need a partner like you.

- How does it work right now? - I have a guy.

But I can’t trust him.

- Sure, scam one more partner. - He is scamming me.

Tell me, who gave you my address?

- I received a phone call. - And did he tell you his name?

- Bipin? - He didn’t reveal his name.

I know it must be that idiot, Bipin.

He knew all about us, I told him myself.

The entire idea is mine. I'm the one doing all the work.

He wants the bigger share in profits.

By the way, I must leave. I'm running late for a meeting.

I only need this job for another 5-6 months.

Can I go, please? You should come home in the evening.

We'll chill, have dinner.

I’ll give you the cash, and we can discuss future plans too.

Promise me you will show up!

Or do you need more buttering up? Here, eat this.

My dearest Faisu.

Smile now. You don’t need a policy for that.

I’ll see you in the evening.

Works? Bye!

Rohya?

Rohidas?

On the third floor.

We have to go the third floor. We'll take the lift.

Can you call for the lift?

Drink it.

Take it.

That’s enough.

Sir..

I'm telling the truth. Please trust me.

He was like a brother to me. Why would I kill him?

He had promised to return my money.

Now forget getting the money, I'm also under suspicion for his murder.

Sir, please don't trust anything that you see in the video.

That video is from earlier. We had tea together later.

We went to the Irani hotel.

Are you crazy?

You had tea together after this?

Which floor does he stay on?

On the third floor.

No, sir. Not after this video.

I'm talking about another video.

Sir, could you hand me my phone?

My hands are tied.

- I wasn’t talking about that video. - Then?

Just a minute.

I’m talking about this one.

Check it out.

I want my money back right now!

Who shot this video?

I received a call from an unknown number, two days after the murder.

He said, “Give me the 20 lakh rupees that Rohidas gave you".

“Or else, I’ll send this video to the police.”

I told him that I don’t have the money.

He just wouldn’t believe me.

I thought the guy indeed sent you the video of our fight.

Who sent you this video?

It was sent from a Spacebook id.

- Spacebook id? - Yes.

Reply to him. Ask him to meet you for handing him the money.

Start typing, come on.

Sir, where should I ask him to meet?

Jadhav, hide the plate.

- Do you know who is coming? - Hmm?

It must be Bipin, right?

Jadhav? What do you think?

I very well know who’s coming.

Do you think it's Bipin?

It's not Bipin for sure!

The only person who would have shot the video..

Is someone, who knew Rohit and Faisal would meet.

- So far, whatever we know about Bipin- - Sir, I think he's here.

Is based on what Ravi told us.

Exactly!

No picture of Bipin, no way to reach him. He doesn’t exist.

Ravi is pretending to be Bipin.

If he wanted to trap Faisal, why didn’t he show me the video earlier?

Because earlier, he just wanted to blackmail Faisal.

He assumed it would easy to scare him first.

Then the video would make it super easy to extort money from him.

I am sure that’s his plan.

- Hey, Ravi? - Huh?

- Hey, Bipin! - Huh?

Jadhav, catch him!

Hey, wait!

Madam, stop him! Don’t let him go! Be careful!

Deepika!

I’ll chase him, sir!

Bipin, stop right there!

- Catch him! Stop that guy! - Watch out for the car!

Shit!

Thank you.

- Hello! - Hello..

- How’s your hand? - Much better.

- Nice flowers! - ACP sir sends his regards.

He’ll come visit once you get discharged.

The chargesheet was filed yesterday.

Your name was moved to the witness list.

- Really? - Hmm..

We nabbed two of their associates.

They have confessed to everything.

Rohidas and Ravi were operating this scam. They went by Rohit and Bipin.

- Sorry, I need to take this. - It's okay.

Yes, sir? I’ll be there in 15 minutes. I'm leaving from the hospital.

- Thank you for all your help! - It's fine..

Sorry, did I hurt you?

- I must leave. I have to receive my dad. - Sure, go ahead.

- Take care. - Yes.

I have another favour to ask from you.

Now what?

I've already sacrificed one arm for you.

Can I keep the second arm intact?

One good arm is good enough for me.

I just want you to like my videos and subscribe to my channel.

Done! I don't have much else to do here anyway.

- Be careful, take care. - Bye, take care!

I want to introduce you to someone. She is my biggest support system in the city.

My roommate - Shruti! Shruti, say "Hi!"

Just do it once, I won’t disturb you again.

That was Shruti. She is a writer herself, and is aware of the struggles in this field.

And that’s why..

- Recently, there was a tragic incident in her life. - Khushi!

- Don’t talk about my life. - Yes, of course.

Come on, have the ice cream and cheer up!

- Don’t forget to call Malhar. - Can you put my phone for charging?

The battery must be dead by now.

Who is this guy?

He’s an employee in the insurance company.

Why do you have his picture?

The insurance company has seen 3-4 similar cases so far.

Fake claims were made against insurance policies.

I'm familiar with their staff now.

One person told me that this guy has recently joined the company.

Yet, he was the common link in all fake claims. He had processed the data.

Do you suspect him of foul play?

I had my doubts. I tried speaking to him as well.

But he never responded properly.

- Let’s complain to the company. - On what basis?

He didn't respond properly, but I don't have any proof against him.

- I have an idea! - Tell me?

Social media has made it easy to expose such scammers.

It puts pressure on the police to take quick action.

That's too much.

Not at all. Do you know the story of this blogger from New Zealand?

He scams all such scammers in India.

He has 3.5 million subscribers on Qtube.

- Are you going to their office tomorrow? - Yes.

I'll come with you.

Do you think he is still there? What if he left already?

He should be here, ideally. Khushi, look.

Put on your helmet. We are following him. Come on!

Round and round the wheel spins,

Just to end where it started.

How many ATM cards does he have?

Your reasons for doubting him are valid.

He’s leaving. Let’s go.

That's the third ATM now.

I know right.

He must have multiple fake accounts.

Sometimes straight and sometimes twisted,

These entangled threads.

They spin some stories and tales,

To reveal faces and the truth!

Mahesh? Was my furniture delivered?

Yes, I ensured they delivered everything.

Why isn’t the lift working?

Lift and CCTV are not working due to repair work.

- Switch on the generator! - That's being used for mason work.

Why are these repairs happening now?

A messy game in a messy place,

Whom to trust and whom to doubt?

Sometimes straight and sometimes twisted,

These entangled threads.

Khushi?

Khushi, let’s go.

To reveal faces and the truth!

- Mahesh! - Khushi!

Mahesh, were you even paying attention?

The door lock is broken.

Mahesh!

Send the worker upstairs!

Where the hell is this guy!

Khushi, wait!

Round and round the wheel spins,

Just to end where it started.

Sometimes straight and sometimes twisted,

These entangled threads.

They spin some stories and tales,

To reveal faces and the truth!

Hey?

What’s happening here?

I mistook it for someone else's house.

What do you want?

I was looking for my friend, who stays on rent. Sorry, I'll leave now.

- I came in by mistake. - Hang on, what were you doing?

- You have such lovely posters. - I saw you downstairs as well.

What were you recording in your phone?

- Did you click pictures? Delete them! - Just pictures of the poster.

- I’ll delete them. - Why did you trespass?

Show me your phone and I won’t hurt you.

- Show me your phone. - Let go of my hand!

- Show me your phone! - I won’t!

Leave her!

Khushi, let's go! Get up!

- Please let us go. Please! - What are you doing here?

Stop, don't make any noise!

Hey, leave me! Let go!

Enough, show me that phone.

Let go of her!

Show me the phone!

How dare you choke me?

Now what?

Nobody saw us. Get up, the CCTVs weren't recording either.

The watchman wasn't around either. Let's go!

Our fingerprints are all over!

Fingerprints!

Give it here.

Let's leave, quick!

Shruti?

- Huh? - There's money in here.

What’s wrong?

- I left my phone there. - It’s right here.

Not this one, the one that I clicked pictures with.

Oh shit! Let's go back.

Put everything back. Start the bike.

- We must get the phone. - No, we can't!

The security guard and CCTVs must be back. We can’t risk it.

- We might get caught! - But-

What if someone finds my phone?

Quiet! We cannot go back there.

- What should we do now? - We can’t go back there!

Let's go back there.

I can't think straight.

Wait, we will have to find another way.

Khushi..

Hello, Khushians!

But then I came here and saw the view.

Brother..Excuse me!

Hey, go away!

Someone forgot their bag on the beach.

Guys, there is a card that belongs to some Rohit Chauhan.

“Rohit Chauhan.” Yes, he lives nearby.

- Which floor does he live on? - The 3rd floor.

Meenu, come here. Call him.

Sister!

- Dad! - Aaah!

Help!

Listen, I met the policeman upstairs.

My name has moved to the witness list.

And remember the guy, Ravi?

He is the primary suspect.

Come here.

Are we out of danger now?

Are you okay?

Should I drive?

No, let's go..

I'm ok..I'm fine.

- She didn’t make a video with a dead body. - Of course, she did.

She found a dead body while making the video.

You never know with these vloggers. They can go to any extent for content.

How are you all?

Hold on, start like how you normally do.

Hi Khushians..But by then.. Please keep me in your prayers.

I run an NGO. I’ll arrange for your stay.

Be it love or scam - you believe in it only when you fall for it.

I won't support breaking the law. But do I regret that the law was broken? I don't.
