Hey, Nana!
- Be careful! - Stop worrying!
Acting like a child!
- Come on! Hurry up! - Wait a minute.
There it is! My Jagu's name is in the papers! Look!
Well done!
Here you go.
- Come on. - What's wrong?
Keep 30 copies of these! I'll be back!
What's wrong? Spelling mistake?
No one has the time to check for spelling mistakes on the sixth page.
The front page is all that matters.
For retired people, everything matters.
You don't get it.
USA! USA! USA! USA!
The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden.
Breaking news coming in from Abbottabad in Pakistan.
The American SEALs conducted a covert operation
wherein they entered Pakistan
and killed the most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden.
After the incident, the question that Indians have been raising is…
ILYAS KASHMIRI - MASOOD AZHAR SYED SALAHUDDIN
…why aren't India's most wanted criminals dealt with in the same way?
Dawood Ibrahim tops the list.
And the second name on the list is Chhota Rajan.
These are the two names that are associated with
the underworld and terror in the 90s.
"Extortion," "shootout," "money laundering"
are just some of the terms people became familiar with because of these two men.
After the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts, when they parted ways,
it resulted in gang wars on the streets of Mumbai.
These men have ruined the lives of several people.
Although they have fled India and are in hiding…
LAST SEEN IN: KARACHI, PAKISTAN - THAILAND
…they continue to remain influential.
Their names resurfaced in the 2010 Mumbai Double Blast.
Forty lives were lost.
But the top officers of the Mumbai police, like Commissioner Puranik,
ACP Ramesh Malik, JCP Shroff, and JCP Devrath
have maintained silence on the matter.
My name is Rizwan Chibber, and you're watching Ab Tak News.
I have with me the ex-commissioner of the Mumbai Police,
and leader of the ruling party, Pratap Acharya.
Mr. Acharya, the citizens of Mumbai, and of this country,
have been eagerly waiting for Dawood's arrest.
When will they get justice?
Look, we are the world's largest democracy.
It is our duty to ensure that Dawood Ibrahim is arrested,
he's brought to India,
and tried as per the due judicial process.
But, Mr. Acharya, what about the people
who've lost their loved ones in these blasts?
Some people claim that we're, in fact, not interested in arresting Dawood--
Rizwan, are you serious?
You're accusing the government?
What are you trying to say?
That we're trying to save Dawood?
Why does Mr. Acharya waste his time on these useless TV debates?
What's wrong with him?
He's gonna lose his mind if he keeps going.
Well, he used to work hard. Now he just talks about how hard he works.
Let's get to the point.
- The tip's confirmed. - Yeah, I've known that for four weeks.
I need proof! The tip's useless if I don't have proof.
The phone with email?
And what if I don't give you anything in return?
Would that be a problem?
Why? I'll consider it a debt that I'm sure you'll repay some day.
I know it.
A picture of the 2010 Bomb Blasts suspects.
The ATS had a similar picture before the blasts.
The protest march outside the Mantralaya.
- Farmers' protest. - This was two days before the blast.
Thanks.
Shroff, sir, what was the evidence that the crime branch had before picking up
Rahane and Yadav from Ghatkopar?
Eyewitness accounts. And technical evidence.
The investigation is in progress. So, I can't give you the exact details.
But based on the evidence, I'm fairly certain the case is watertight.
Sir, who's the investigating officer on the case?
Ma'am, you're gonna barely print three lines on the sixth page.
Do you really have the space to write the IO's name?
Jagtap. Ashok Jagtap is the IO.
Thank you, sir.
Moving on to… Yeah. The Bori Bunder Senior Citizen case.
The prime suspect has confessed. So, that's closed.
Sir, is it true that there was a family dispute
over the Marine Drive plot?
Because that's what I have heard.
Sir, we've also heard that the brothers weren't on the best of terms.
Well, we sure do love spice in our food, but let's keep it out of the news.
Unfortunately for you all, the motive is robbery.
And the accused is neither related nor hired by the family members.
- Yeah? - Shroff, sir!
Could you please repeat the same in Hindi?
Mr. Dalvi will be here soon. He'll translate it for you. All right?
Okay, sir.
- The court's in session? - Yeah, it's a full house.
Did your daughter pass the final exams?
Yeah, she did. Scored 65 percent.
She's looking at colleges now.
Home Science?
Look, you're a patriot, right? A real patriot must educate his daughter!
- Let her take up commerce, all right? - Sure.
Hi, Aryan! What's up? Are you gonna be a police officer as well?
A supercop like Dad?
No, just gym with Dad. 5:00 p.m. every day.
- I've put on some weight, right? - Not at all!
But it's good! You'll also be fit like your papa!
Devrath, sir!
Hello, sir.
Sir, I wanted to confirm a story.
With me? Go on.
The twin blast suspects were in Mumbai two days before the blast.
And ATS had the tip, but they failed to avert the blasts.
Why are you trying to confirm a piece of Anti-Terrorism Squad news
with the Crime Branch?
I thought you had Malik sir's number?
I do, sir.
It's just that I wanted to confirm it with a senior officer.
So, you have Shroff.
He will never refuse you. Why not ask him to confirm it?
Thank you, sir.
I thought you'd know.
Anyway, you can read it in the newspaper tomorrow.
It'll be on page one. Good day, sir.
Give me a fresh coffee, please.
Yeah.
Jagruti Pathak!
Please come.
- Sir, it's-- It's okay. - Sit.
I've just ordered a fresh coffee.
Would you like some caramel latte or something?
No, sir. Maybe later. Just the confirmation for now.
Sir, I have a lead that ATS had a tip about the twin blast case accused
- for two days-- - Sorry.
Wait a second.
Actually, I… I was at a duty-free shop.
And I saw this.
Sir… I can't take it.
- It's fine. - You know…
it's got a very strong cinnamon fragrance.
I really like it.
I just bought it on a whim, but now that I see you…
I feel this fragrance will really suit you.
Sir, did ATS ignore the leads?
- Was it possible to stop these blasts? - Jagruti…
I'm trying to ignore the topic, but you're being so persistent.
Just like you, sir.
The tip is right. But off the record.
Sir, "off the record" doesn't help.
Frankly, Jagruti, if you don't like the perfume…
I can return it.
Sir, you're still trying to change the topic.
So, you aren't confirming this because of Malik.
Correct? You don't want to ruffle Ramesh Malik?
Wow!
That's sharp interrogation! Is a Crime Branch officer training you?
Ajit… Ajitesh Bhat.
Ahmedabad, Crime Branch.
I've heard he's your boyfriend?
You know, Jagruti, cops don't make for… good life partners.
Unless, of course, you want to have a fling.
I've heard something as well, sir.
A top cop at Economic Offences Wing is in trouble.
He apparently cleared a builder's file for kickbacks.
I'm sure you must know. After all, you head EOW.
Dad, can we go to the gym now? I have violin classes after this.
Your violin classes are the reason why you need to go to the gym.
- Thank you, sir. - We're done.
Page one? Without on-record confirmation?
- No. - Imran, it's an exclusive!
It won't remain for too long.
Jagruti, you're accusing Ramesh Malik,
the most decorated cop of Mumbai police, of such a big lapse.
But, Imran, you know where this is coming from.
- On record? - Who's gonna speak on record?
If we don't break this story, someone else will!
- It took me two weeks-- - J, if you want your story on page one,
get me a story worth printing on page one.
Mr. Acharya might get a key portfolio in the next cabinet reshuffle.
Listen, do you want me to print the headline with a bloody question mark?
Okay, in my opinion, he might be getting Finance.
Pushkar, we have page four for your opinions and your column.
Yeah, we also have an entertainment supplement for your blind items.
We can't become politicians' mouthpiece under the guise of "political news."
Who's becoming a mouthpiece? This is a real news story.
Imran, the big buzz in Bollywood is that actor Pratik Chopra,
he's filing for divorce from his wife--
- Please! - Imran, please think again!
- Guys! - This is big--
We're just three hours from putting our edition to bed.
And thanks to Jagruti, we don't have a front page.
What are you doing this Sunday?
Depends on J.
You know what, let's go to Azad Maidan. We'll make a superb photo story.
You can take care of all the writing. Anna's holding a rally as well.
We'll share the byline.
- We can also share our lunch-- - Deepa!
Hurry up!
Can we recall an SMS? Before the receiver reads it?
Not if you've sent it.
- Give it a shot. - J, if it's sent…
You've sent this to Commissioner Puranik?
He did not confirm my tip. Even off-record.
Cowards.
You have a direct line with Commissioner Puranik?
Deepa, seven years. Experience.
Hey! Go!
Yes, More. Tell me.
Imran! Shootout at Turakhia Street right outside Dawood's den!
- Half an hour ago. - Take Kedar with you.
It's a developing story, I'll file the copy on the field.
And if we get something exclusive,
- we'll print it in the midnight edition. - Sure.
Please get Mr. Acharya off page one! Kedar, come on! Hurry!
See you on Sunday, Deepa!
- The camera batteries are charged, right? - Yes, ma'am.
Come on. Hurry up!
- You seem to be in a hurry. - Shootout!
Did the shooter call you himself?
Neil, I'm really sorry, baby.
Mom, we booked the night show so that you could come!
- This is not done, man! - Please, baby!
I really wanna come, but I need to work.
Mom, you're always working! You don't like anything else!
I wanna watch the movie! You must come!
No, I can't! Also, we're going to Kashmir, right?
I promise, we'll have loads of fun. Please let it slide today.
No, I won't!
We've been planning to watch this movie for ages!
Give it here.
- Jagu, I'll take him to the movies. - Mom, I'm sure he'll fall asleep!
No, I won't sleep!
I love action movies!
Just get home as soon as you can, all right?
- You'll definitely fall asleep! Please! - Jai Shri Krishna!
Karade!
Our late victim, Mr. Hussain,
he was Kaskar's driver-cum-bodyguard, right?
This is definitely a gang operation.
Yeah, madam.
The target was Dawood's brother, and Hussain was just collateral damage?
No, ma'am. Kaskar was at his house.
An eyewitness has told us that Hussain was indeed the target.
The team is looking for the shooters.
Come on, Karade. Give me something exclusive!
What's the point of rushing to this damn place?
Ma'am!
I can only get you some special exclusive tea!
That's all.
Hey, Patil! A couple of teas, please.
Deepa. Two shooters.
They fired five, six bullets into his torso.
Time of shooting, approximately 7:30 p.m.
The victim's full name is H-U-S-S-A-I-N, Hussain Sayed.
Dead on the spot. Taken to Bombay Hospital.
The shootout brings back memories of the deadly gang wars of the '90s.
Get Imran's input on it.
This is great, Jagruti! This is so big!
- Congrats! - No, it isn't! There's no angle to it!
That's gonna be page one for every bloody newspaper in town.
J, can I come with you next time?
Deepa, I'll call you back. Shroff's here.
I think it's more than just a driver's death.
Modus operandi is quite clear. This is a classic Rajan gang operation.
Hussain might've been at odds with a Rajan gang member.
And unfortunately, this is the retaliation.
- Mr. Shroff… - Yes?
Hussain was just a driver.
If Rajan really wanted to kill him,
he could've easily shot him at his Byculla residence, at his chawl.
But my question is, why would Rajan take the risk
of walking into Dawood's den to kill a driver?
Neither is he that powerful now, nor does he have a strong enough network.
Dada, why do you wanna complicate a simple case
with your conspiracy theories?
I don't get it.
There is a definite pattern here, Mr. Shroff.
For the past couple of incidents, Dawood-related incidents to be specific,
it's Rajan who's the first to get the stick.
And surprisingly, within 24 hours, Rajan appears on a news channel
and confirms the incident.
"Yes, I did it."
- So, this pattern-- - Dada!
I'll leave these patterns and these conspiracies to you journalists.
We just work with facts.
Right? That'll be all, guys.
Sir, one last question…
Sandeep, do you know what Rajan and the Prime Minister have in common?
They love taking the blame.
Ninety minutes. And the case is solved.
And it's Rajan who's cursed with the blame again.
If not Rajan, then who?
Are you just guessing, Dada? Or do you really have a lead?
Who are you?
Imran's team, right?
Stop pretending, Dada. You very well know who I am.
- Time to go to the office. - Sure, Dada.
Ashit, tell me the truth. What's the word on the street?
Everyone knows about the shootout, ma'am. But we're not sure if it was one of ours.
There's radio silence right now.
Look, Ashit, if the shooters aren't from your gang,
the Crime Branch has thrown a full pitch,
and I wanna be the first one to hit it out of the park!
Can you talk to someone at the top, who might have all the details?
Well, there's Pramod Irani, ma'am. But he only talks to one reporter.
Jaideb Sen.
Just get me in front of Pramod Bhai before he talks to his favorite reporter.
It's best for everyone. For you and for him!
Do you get me?
All right, ma'am! I'll try.
All right. I'll talk to you later. Bye!
What's wrong, ma'am?
I've never seen you talk that affectionately, even with Neil.
Come on.
- Mafia Begum. - Not bad.
The publishers have been hounding me. They want the book out early next year.
Tell me when you're starting the research.
I'll have to start writing.
Imran, time and a new home, two things I cannot afford right now.
Neil's been here for two weeks now
and I haven't even spent 15 minutes with him.
We were gonna go to the movies, but Mr. Hussain had other ideas!
Tell me, how can I help you with research in the midst of such a chaotic life?
Tell me.
Work can wait.
Trust me.
The book isn't gonna run away.
You should be spending more time with Neil.
I know.
I really plan, I really try hard, and then I end up disappointing myself.
And then you feed me your magical mango pulp to make me feel better.
You're the best, Nelly! Thank you.
Oh, I gotta take this call.
You guys carry on.
Hello?
Yeah.
Sen Dada was talking about some pattern today.
He says the Crime Branch rushes to blame Rajan
every time a Dawood-related incident happens.
Why?
Do you remember Farhaan Tauquir?
Rajan's best shooter?
I knew him really well. What about him?
Do you remember what the Crime Branch said when he was killed?
Rajan?
And what did Mr. Rajan do?
Accepted it on national television the very next day.
Sen and a couple of other journalists did not believe it was Rajan who did it.
So, if Rajan didn't kill Tauquir, he didn't kill Hussain either?
So, who did?
And who is the Crime Branch trying to protect?
That's the story you need to chase.
There is something deeper if Dada's chasing it.
- It's just not-- - Fully cooked yet. I know.
And he's the "Dada."
He has a great sense of when a story should be served.
Whatever.
I know it's just for two hours. But I said yes as soon as he asked me.
Wow! All hail Ajitesh Bhat!
So, when are you coming? We haven't met for two months.
You should stay the night.
- Meet Neil-- - I'm sorry, I can't, Jagu!
Boss is being investigated by the CBI. He'll hound me with his questions.
"Why did you stay? Where did you stay?"
So, tell him the truth! How long are you gonna hide it?
Ajitesh, I want you to meet my family also.
And I will!
All I'm asking is, please have some patience.
Saying "no" set him free. Perhaps, patience would've been the key.
- Are you getting me? - Same to you!
Anyway, good night. Idiot. Bye.
Hello, J?
The Crime Branch has made some arrests in Hussain's shootout case.
I'll send the updated copy.
They mustn’t have submitted the midnight edition yet.
Just coordinate with the designers.
I'll inform Imran. It's an exclusive, okay?
Write the headline.
"Crime Branch nabs Dawood Den Shooters in a late-night chase."
"Crime Branch…" What?
"Crime Branch nabs Dawood Den Shooters in a late-night chase."
Good morning, Atul!
Did you catch some sleep last night?
Great.
What time did you sleep last night?
12:00-12:30.
Read this, please.
"Crime Branch nabs Dawood Den Shooters in a late-night chase."
Eastern Age. Jagruti Pathak.
She didn't sleep at 12:00-12:30.
"Intelligence Bureau likely behind Dawood Den Shootout."
Jaideb Sen. That genius who's born with insomnia.
He never sleeps at night anyway!
And you don't have his experience or his sources.
I get it. But Jagruti Pathak?
Jagruti and you started together here.
How the hell does she get these exclusives?
Leena, we can't do what Jagruti does for Shroff to get her exclusives.
Same old defense. Just stop it.
Look at our coverage.
It's the same. It's like every other newspaper.
Except for Jagruti and Sen!
I'm tired of this pack journalism. No, get me exclusives.
And don't tell me what we can't do!
Figure out what we can do.
Please!
Sir, am I responsible for this shootout?
What can I do if there was a shootout at the last moment?
Mr. Acharya will end up on the front page sooner or later.
Hello?
Fuck!
Acharya's PA thinks I am his PA.
What am I supposed to do if Imran pushed his story to the tenth page?
It's my fault or what?
For a change, I have some news for you.
I'm in the running for a promotion.
If it's confirmed, I'll be the new Head of Branding.
- Congratulations! - Thanks!
You know what this means, right?
Yeah.
Come, I'll tell you.
Come on!
"IB is using an aging Don
like Chhota Rajan to flush out Dawood
by attempting a hit on his brother Iqbal Kaskar."
Can you please stop that!
- Yeah, it's me. - Yes, ma'am?
Can I talk to someone from the IB? It's urgent.
- About the shootout? - About the shootout, of course!
There's a guy. Ex-IB.
Ex-IB? He'll meet me?
I'll ask.
All right, set up a meeting quickly. Thanks, bye.
What's wrong, sweetheart? Didn't like the movie?
Nana slept throughout the movie. I told you, Mom!
He was snoring so loud,
I spent most of the movie trying to wake him up.
I wanna watch it again.
- Neil, did you finish your homework? - Did you finish it?
Movie first, homework later.
You just watched "Kathol" yesterday!
What is "Kathol"? It's Thor! Thor!
Idea! Do you wanna come with me to work?
You and me, full day we'll enjoy and we'll have a special lunch!
- Lunch? - Yeah.
Get ready quickly! Or else, I'm leaving! Hurry up!
Nani, can you please lower the volume? I'm fed up with these bhajans!
Mom, please get me some tea.
He hasn't scored well in his finals. You should talk to him.
Mom, I'm busy working all day. I don't have the time for these things.
I only see him during his summer holidays,
you really want me to nag him right now?
Someone will have to talk to him, right?
I don't wanna have the poha. I'm running late.
Come on.
- What do you wanna have for lunch? - Chicken.
Lower your voice! Nani might hear you!
It's useless! It won't change anything!
Just sign it, Mani Bhai. What's your problem?
- I'm doing this for us, right-- - Uncle, what's wrong?
Jagruti, I'm just pulling your uncle's leg.
Will the corporator really care about a signature campaign?
No, he won't!
Keep her out of it!
Seventy percent of the people have signed it, Jagu.
We have people power!
Forget the corporator, his dad's gonna have nightmares as well!
Uncle, I've spoken to the corporator's grandad!
The PWD Minister, Mr. Bhandari.
I've talked to him over the phone. Problem solved!
- Don't worry about it. - Come on, Jagu.
Stop troubling those big folks for this trivial stuff.
Just have some patience.
Patience is the only thing I lack, Uncle!
- Jai Shri Krishna, Uncle! - Jai Shri Krishna.
Mr. Govind.
Your full name?
Just Govind.
As per NewsDay's Jaideb Sen,
IB's responsible for the Dawood Den Shootout.
So, you trust Sen's story? Not your own?
Intelligence is professionally gathered hearsay, Ms. Pathak.
There are versions.
- Some slightly truer than others. - Okay, tell me one thing.
If this was an IB operation,
why would IB leak details about its field operation to the media?
IB's annoyed.
Because it's not the first time
that the Crime Branch has ruined IB's operations.
You mean Mumbai Police's arrest
of two of Rajan's best shooters in Delhi seven years ago?
Correct.
Some believe that these shooters were being trained by the IB…
to kill Dawood.
Dawood was gonna attend his daughter's wedding in Dubai.
IB planned to kill Dawood right there.
It was Rajan who provided the shooters.
But then, the same.
So, do you think the Mumbai Police did it on purpose?
They foiled the Delhi Double-arrest and Dawood Den Shootout to save Dawood?
Look, you're the one jumping to conclusions, not me.
If you think there's a nexus between the Crime Branch and Dawood,
you should be asking the right questions.
Like, "Who were the cops involved?"
"Why were they trying to save Dawood?"
"Were some top-level people trying to save Dawood?"
There are many questions, Ms. Pathak. But I do not have all the answers.
Yeah, I'm coming.
Is this a reliable source?
Ex-IB officer.
"Mumbai Police protecting Dawood" and that too coming from an ex-IB officer.
If we connect the dots, it makes more sense.
If Hussain was Kaskar's bodyguard,
what was he doing at Kaskar's house all alone?
He should've been with Kaskar, right?
And why would Rajan risk killing Hussain outside Dawood's den and invite trouble?
- You know what you're getting into, right? - I know.
Top brass, cops, politicians, the works.
Naked as the day they were born.
Okay. Start making calls. Chase it.
I'm trying to reach Rajan. I just hope I get there before Sen Dada.
Neil!
Hello! How are you?
Hi, Imran Uncle.
Do you like puzzles? Come.
We'll play. Go!
When did the newsroom become a playschool?
How long have you been here at Eastern Age?
Ten?
So, ten years ago.
Nana, please tell us.
Do you accept responsibility for the Turakhia Street Shootout?
Yes, I do. It was an old squabble. We settled it.
So, Nana, there was absolutely no intention of attacking Kaskar, right?
No way! That's just media nonsense.
We intended to kill the guy who has died.
I would've just killed Kaskar if I wanted to.
Sen Dada said exactly this!
We're not even 24 hours in,
Nana shows up on a news channel
and accepts responsibility for the shootout.
How is Rajan cooperating with both, IB and the Mumbai Police?
I don't understand.
J, this isn't cooperation. It's survival.
Congratulations, Immy!
For what?
JCB Crime has been taking a personal interest in your newspaper!
- Leena… - Leena!
When I was with The City,
Shroff had taken a ton of personal interest in your newspaper as well.
You never congratulated me then.
Please don't take it personally. I'm just showing you the "mirror."
Enjoy your drink.
- See you. - See you.
Come on!
Hey, Sen Dada!
Look who is here!
So sorry I couldn't greet you yesterday.
No worries, you were busy.
Hey, Dada! You're looking handsome!
Read your article.
- Hi, Rizwan! - Hi.
How are you, Dada?
You okay?
Looks like you've got a big fish on the hook?
Calm down. I'm not asking you for the name of your source!
- Hello? - Yeah, Ashit. What's the update?
Did you talk to Pramod Irani?
Ma'am, Pramod Bhai doesn't wanna talk.
And he just met his favorite reporter, Jaideb Sen.
Sen Dada!
You know what, forget Irani. I wanna talk directly to Nana.
I don't have a direct line to Nana!
Yeah, so someone other than Irani must have a direct line to Nana, right?
Ma'am, Nana just accepted responsibility for the shootout on national television.
Why would he now confirm the IB story with you?
Just get my message to him.
If he wants the people to hear his truth, he'll have to talk to me!
Get me an interview!
Bye.
Nani, let it be.
Kevin's got straight A's!
And you haven't started your holiday homework yet.
Stop it or I'm gonna tell Mom!
I'm not scared of your mother.
Don't worry. I'll finish it. Just for one night.
- Fuck! Leena! - Mom!
How are you, Dada?
No new updates on the Dawood Den Shootout in today's papers?
No big story? No big exposé?
Did you just waste a single malt on Pramod Irani?
I think you're having trouble confirming the IB angle.
After all, this is just a theory like the Delhi arrests.
Jagruti, you've met with IB?
Who did you meet?
Jagruti, you don't know what you're dealing with.
For your own good, stay out of it.
Is that a threat?
Stop chasing it. Trust me.
Malik, sir, at Eastern Age, we don't just follow spicy stories.
We also follow some ethics.
I had this story four days ago.
But we didn't run it like Mirror.
It can be difficult to convince Imran without an on-record confirmation.
And with these kinds of sensitive stories, editors ought to be responsible.
- And I guess Imran is. - And Leena is not.
So, sir, your version?
We did have the tip.
But the only difference is that we had a tip for four blasts.
I mean, they had planned four blasts. Two we avoided, two we couldn't.
I can imagine.
But I'm sure you'd agree
that there was intelligence failure on part of the ATS?
Of course, there has been. You're right. We failed.
But that's the nature of our job.
Sometimes, we lose.
So, we ensure we don't let them win either.
Intel gathering has its own limitations, I hope you know that.
Yes, sir.
Sir, can you give me the same statement on record?
That no blasts should have happened on the ATS' watch?
I can. But you'll have to add one more line to my statement.
That I'm proud of my men for avoiding these two attacks that they managed to.
Of course, sir. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Good day.
This…
Thank you.
Imran, I've transcribed the Ramesh Malik interview.
He's owning up.
Here's the copy. Please check it once.
I need to leave early today.
Thank you, Imran.
Thank you for not going ahead with a half-cooked story.
Or I would've been suffering the same fate Leena is.
You're welcome.
Bye.
Yeah, Ashit?
Ma'am, can you come to Chembur in 30 minutes?
Right now? Do you know what time it is?
Ma'am, it's for Nana's interview.
I've spoken to Samson Bhai. He can connect you to Nana.
He's insisting on meeting you today.
All right, just text me the address. I'll get there. Bye.
Come on, Ajitesh! What can I do? A source wants to meet today.
And I don't know if I'll ever meet him again if I miss out today.
You know I have only two hours! I have to go back tonight.
I'm sorry. We'll meet next time.
All right.
I'll try and come to Ahmedabad after my Kashmir trip.
Bye. Good night.
I hope your Samson doesn't ditch me. I've skipped an important meeting for him.
I mean, he had mentioned Sitar Bar. Let's give it some time.
And Dilip told me Samson Bhai is a little weird.
He changes his mood faster than a baby changes its diapers.
And one more thing.
- Samson Bhai's wife is just like you. - A reporter?
No, she's a Gujarati.
You can try and exploit the Gujarati connection.
You sure do know a lot, huh? You should be a reporter.
No way, ma'am! I don't wanna be famous.
You do. I know.
Ma'am, boss wants to see you in his office.
His office is upstairs?
You had no clue Samson owned this bar?
You're useless!
I'll be back.
Samson Bhai…
I've heard your wife is just like me.
No. My wife isn't a reporter.
No, I meant she's a Gujarati. I'm a Gujarati as well--
Why do you wanna talk to Nana?
No, I just wanted an interview.
You're the one who can talk to him--
Irani shooed you away, right?
What are you gonna write?
"Nana's grown old, powerless."
No, Samson Bhai, I just--
That's what the Bengali reporter writes.
Does he bend over for Dawood?
Forget about him. He's too old to be relevant.
I think he's lost his bloody mind.
Tell me, what do you wanna write?
Rajan Bhai's version of the story. His words. Unfiltered.
My word is Rajan Bhai's word.
You may ask whatever you wanna know.
From the horse's mouth.
Do you have a card? A visiting card?
Yeah.
One minute.
Have you ever been to Europe?
No.
Jaideb Sen has. Last year.
The old nut went there for a honeymoon.
All alone.
Find out who he met.
If you do, I'll get you your interview.
All right?
Ma'am, I did tell you he's weird, right?
I didn't even know that Sen Dada had been to Europe.
Just say the word. I'll put my boys on him.
I'm sure they'll be able to sniff something out.
Adios!
Hi, baby! What are you doing? Enjoying or just raising a ruckus?
Mom, we're in the middle of a game. Can we talk later?
Who's playing?
Me, Kevin, and his dad.
Okay, Mom, bye!
Okay, bye.
Murad, please tell me you've got a happening party for me!
He's a pervert, all right? He's a full perv.
Jags!
Here you go.
Thank you.
- This… - It's virgin.
Oh, wow!
It's the latest one.
Just got it yesterday from Singapore. Pulled a few strings.
Stop staring, you'll break the screen. Give it back.
Give me a couple of weeks, I'll get one for you as well.
No, thanks. I don't need a phone.
- No? - I need a house.
- Come on. Pull a few strings. - What strings?
It's all yours! How about this one?
Worth fighting for, right?
Of course! It's awesome.
Well, there's a Sodha Builders' project in Goregaon.
It might be slightly out of your budget, but just say yes and I'll handle it.
All right. Yes. Just show me the apartment.
- Done? - Done.
Come on, are you gonna join the party, or stay out here like a loner?
Let's meet some nice people.
Not these people.
- That's Mohit. - Hi!
That's his wife, Mithali. That's my cousin, Sheefa.
And that's her boyfriend, Sumit.
Sumit's daily soap is celebrating its two-year anniversary today.
- Oh, wow! Congratulations! - Thank you.
And that's Jags. Jagruti Pathak. Star Crime Reporter at Eastern Age.
Actually, Deputy Bureau Chief and Senior Crime Reporter.
My bad. Deputy Bureau Chief and Senior Crime Reporter.
The sexy, sea-facing apartment you're in, it's all thanks to her.
- Really? - Yeah.
How's that?
Dad and the builder were battling it out for years.
And she made the builder settle. And I don't know how.
It's a trade secret, Murad.
She's basically awesome.
Don't get bored. Okay? I'm gonna get myself a drink.
Entertain her!
Crime reporting!
Must be a bit dangerous?
Frankly, I feel acting is more dangerous.
I'm sure you know these cops and these encounter specialists.
If you don't mind, I need a small favor.
Sure.
I'll be working on a show, Police Patrolling,
where I'm playing a cop.
Could you help me meet a real cop? Just for research.
- How about JCP Shroff? - Really?
Fuck, that'll be awesome.
- I don't know how to thank you. - I'll tell you how.
Please change this bloody music. It's very boring.
Oh, sure. Sure.
- Let me guess what you like. - Okay.
Just a minute.
Breaking news coming out of the Crime Branch this morning.
Ramesh Malik reveals that there were four, not two, bombs planted.
Two of which were successfully defused by the bomb defusal squad.
While admitting to an intelligence lapse from the ATS,
Malik also thanked his team for their timely action,
which helped reduce the damage and loss of lives.
We have another story…
I'm a fool that I hired you.
I'm a fool that I wasted two fucking years training you!
And now like a fool, I'll have to look for a replacement!
But, ma'am, I had gotten a confirmation from Additional CP Devrath himself.
That is exactly what's wrong with you people!
It was a half-baked, incomplete story.
ATS had received a tip-off for four blasts!
Out of which, two were averted. That is the complete version!
This is the third time you've submitted a half-cooked story!
Did you confirm it with another source? No.
You just wrote your nice little story, ran your spellcheck, and voila!
For fuck's sake!
It's your job to find out what's given and what's not being given.
Take that off!
We'll be hearing soon from Ramesh Malik. But four, not two…
Well, someone wanted to make a mountain out of a molehill.
Looks like they're crumbling under the mountain themselves.
Just because someone didn't bother to leak the whole story.
Come on, you really think I leaked that story to City Mirror?
I didn't take a name, did I, Pushkar? But someone's the mole, right?
I'm just saying whoever it was, they must've lost all credibility, right?
- What do you mean? - J! Pushkar!
- Sridhar! - Brij is almost here.
Imran!
The Mumbai Police have arrested Dawood! It's live!
He's being extradited.
- Come fast! - Wow!
Go, Mumbai Police!
Wow, man! Wow!
SECRET MISSION TO ASSASSINATE BIN LADEN
Guys, when are you gonna stop this silly prank?
When you stop falling for it, Imran.
It's gonna be like the boy who cried wolf.
When he's really caught, I'll take it as a joke.
- I doubt. - Kedar!
Congratulations!
- Congratulations, Imran! - Ten years!
Thank you.
Thank you, guys!
Thank you. It's very touching. Thank you.
That's enough, man.
Come!
Imran, let's wait for Brij. He's coming.
Yeah, sure. I'll be in my office.
What's wrong?
You have Neil with you. You have page one today. What's wrong?
Deepa Chandra. Eastern Age.
Imran, the nexus story, it's still undercooked.
And that interview… I don't know where we stand.
It'll take time.
Okay.
But good news.
Dada's got nothing either. You're still in the game.
Right? Cheer up!
J, call for you.
- Some Nana. The number's from Dubai. - What? Nana?
You mean… Chhota Rajan?
Sridhar, if this is a joke, I swear I'll smash that cake on your face!
Hello?
Are you Pathak?
Yeah, it's Pathak.
Shit.
It got disconnected.
- Is it really Rajan? - I think so.
He generally calls from a Dubai number. Deepa…
Thank you.
Speaker.
Hello?
You wanted an interview?
Nana, may I record this call?
Sure. Go ahead.
How are you doing, Nana?
I read you were struggling with your health?
That's just media nonsense. It's either my kidney or my heart…
You're just fucking with your readers for your silly headlines.
I'm doing great!
You can ask Hussain what happens to people who try to change that.
Hussain?
The one from the Dawood Den Shootout? Are you talking about him?
Of course, I am.
Look, I sure am alone, times sure have changed.
But I am still strong.
I can do a lot just by sitting here. All right?
What do you mean by you're alone?
No one supported me. Our agencies, foreign agencies, no one.
Dawood has the ISI, he has the Pakistani Army,
but these rascals from Mumbai and Delhi have been hounding me!
Dawood has support in India as well!
Nana, some people are saying that the IB is supporting you.
That the IB was behind Hussain's shootout. Kaskar was the real target.
And that they're just using your name.
I just told you that no one's supporting me.
Not one man!
I've been giving some tips to the IB in my personal capacity since 2003.
How do you think they decoded Dawood and Shakeel's massive network?
Hussain was getting too big for his boots, so I took him out.
Hello?
He'll call. He isn't done yet.
Nana, have you ever thought about surrendering?
Or coming back to India?
Look, there are at least 800 FIRs against me.
All fake. One-sided. They just blame me for everything.
I extorted this guy, I extorted that guy. I've never extorted anyone!
Why the hell would I come back?
I'm keeping tabs on India from here, anyway.
Nana, if you did indeed killed Hussain, do you think D-Company's gonna retaliate?
What do you mean by "indeed"? His murder was a direct order from me.
And this is gonna go on until something happens to one of us.
And he's growing old as well.
But you guys still wanna paint him like a movie star.
- Nana, do you think-- - That's enough. I'm done.
This is as big as it gets.
Congrats!
Never forget this day. All right, come on.
Oh, my God!
Guys!
Chhota Rajan just gave an interview to Jagruti Pathak!
- Well done! - Well done!
Thank you.
- Well done, Jagruti. - Thank you.
This is crazy!
That's it, guys! Thank you! Don't embarrass me!
- Thank you. - J, just do one thing.
Just interview another mid-level member from Rajan's gang.
It'll be a nice follow-up.
Imran, I'm going to Kashmir tomorrow. I told you.
Oh, shit. Deepa, will you take care of it?
- Yes, sir. - Thank you.
Imran, one more thing.
I met a source yesterday, for this interview.
- And he wanted me to-- - Did Rajan just give us an exclusive?
Brij!
- Well done, Ms. Pathak! - Thank you.
Guys, one more round of applause!
Thank you.
That's it, guys!
I was here to congratulate Imran.
But I guess it's congratulations to the both of you.
Imran, this is a great story.
- Spike it up, okay? - Yeah, I'm on it.
- Now, can we eat some cake? - Yeah, sure.
- Come, let's do it. - Please.
- You cut it, J. - No, you cut it. No.
Have some breakfast before you leave.
I'm not hungry, Mom.
Be careful, all right? Careful!
You worry too much. I'm about to be a senior citizen.
You take care. Bye!
I'll call you later.
- A hundred rupees for two bags? - That's too much!
- I'll just carry it myself. - Oh, come on.
- We don't have the time to bargain, Nana. - You wanna pay him a hundred rupees?
- Come on! Let's go! - Exactly! Get in!
Hail Lord Krishna!
