Stop!
- Shoot him! - Stop!
- My love is the purest in town. - My love is the most everlasting in town.
I'd give my life for Chanda.
That is what you call pure love.
I've been in love with Mamta since fifth grade.
That's everlasting love.
What you feel for Chanda, it's not love but lust.
Ask Nannu.
Dude, why ask me? I don't know anything.
Figure it out among yourselves.
My love for Chanda is real. Your love is a sham.
- Yours is a sham. - My love is real.
- Mine is real too. - Bullshit.
- You're bullshit. - Prove it.
- What? - If your love is real, prove it.
How?
Are you freaking crazy? Why are you doing all this crap?
Shut up, Nannu!
I'd do anything to prove my love for Chanda.
Show me.
A-N-D-A and M-T-A are left now.
- Let's do the rest tomorrow. - I'm ready to complete it right now.
But if you don't want to, we'll stop.
Well, fake lover?
How will you explain this M-A?
I'll say it's "MA" for my mother.
How will you explain C-H?
Fucking "chump."
Stop!
- Stop, asshole! - Hey! Stop!
Move! Move! Move!
Shoot him.
Pick him up. Get him on his feet.
INSIDE EVERY HUMAN IS THE DEVIL
Tipu, you're at your own father's funeral. Not the neighbor's.
Look at your mother. I feel sorry for her.
Stepmother.
My father was a lustful fucker.
Doesn't he look like he died while smoking?
Shut up, Tipu. At least try to cry a little.
Okay, fine.
Tipu, Mr. Ganchi is here.
Babu Tiger's widow.
Get some tea and snacks.
He was a lucky man.
But he left behind all his luck.
Babu...
- What are you doing? - I'm trying to cry.
Why?
Your father's alive, right?
Won't you cry when he's dead?
Are you Babu Tiger's son?
From his first wife?
From his real wife.
Uncle, can you tell me who Babu Tiger's son is?
That guy over there.
- Where are you going? - I need to meet him.
Not now. Leave.
- It's urgent. - Leave. Just leave, man.
- Just leave. - Why are you pushing me? I'm going.
I never saw you with your father. Didn't you want to work for me?
What do you do?
I'm a mechanic. At Vayu Motors.
Something on your face... right there.
The deal of a lifetime fell into our lap, and they took Babu Tiger away from us.
This could only be one man's doing. Nabeed.
Do you think Nabeed had the guts to do it?
The Sherpur guys quake in their boots just at the mention of your name.
Sit up straight, then talk.
Sir, SP Mishra is here.
Look, he's standing there.
What's up, Junior? Hello, sir.
Here I am, dealing with this storm in my life,
and you've got your head in the clouds.
Give me a hand.
No, sir--
What else were you doing?
A bastard comes to our city, sneaks into our farms,
slaughters one of our men,
and you were just sitting on your fucking ass?
Don't you know how important the Calcutta deal is to us?
I know very well, sir.
Make a call to Calcutta.
Arrange a meeting with Sukanto. I want to meet him.
Right away, sir.
- Ram is the... - Real truth.
- Truth is... - All there is.
- Ram is the... - Real truth.
- Truth is... - All there is.
- Ram is the... - Real truth.
- Truth is... - All there is.
Dad...
- Ram is the... - Real truth.
- Dad... - Ram is the...
Hey, you were just cursing your father.
What changed now?
He was still my father, asshole!
- Ram is the... - Real truth.
Jhankaar Beats?
Oh, my God!
Do I look that bad?
No, sir. I mean... I'm Ramprasad, sir.
Actually, we were preparing to welcome you tomorrow.
- But you are here today. - Then welcome me now.
No garland today. It's ordered for tomorrow.
- Let it be. I'm heading home. - Okay.
I wanted to see the office.
You're already on duty right after coming from Delhi? You should've rested.
Your driver is waiting at the bungalow.
He doesn't need to be on duty. I'll drive myself.
Why, sir?
It's a nice place to drive a car.
Okay, sir. As you wish.
It's my honor to work with you.
I've heard so much about you.
The city is small, but the people here have big hearts.
And the weather here is so nice, sir, that you'll feel like Rajesh Khanna.
And it's more affordable than Delhi, sir.
One week's living cost there-- It's dead, sir!
Give me a day, sir. I'll have it restored. Sorry.
Get me the files related to the opium factory.
- Sir, now? - Are you doing something more important?
- Talking to you, sir. - Now.
- Listen. - Yes?
Arrange an original cassette for me. Zamaane Ko Dikhana Hai.
What?
An original cassette of this movie.
Listening to Jhankaar Beats has ruined my mood.
Please come, Mr. Sukanto.
Welcome to the sacred land of Gulaabgunj.
It looks like a movie set straight out of Bombay's film industry.
The police won't ambush us like in the movies, right?
Oh, no, no. No one comes here.
That's why I asked you to come.
In Gulaabgunj, Dad ambushes the police, not the other way around.
Mr. Ganchi, let me come to the point.
To be honest, I have a lot of pressure on me.
What kind of pressure?
This is our first deal.
Everyone is worried you won't be able to deliver such a big order of opium.
What are you talking about, Mr. Sukanto?
Please tell your superiors they don't need to be worried.
When Ganchi commits, he delivers.
That's what I said.
But they say Ganchi has never taken up such a big job.
And it's true.
This order is way bigger than what you produce in a year.
Tell me, what should I say to them?
Tell them that the land of Gulaabgunj is like Ganchi's beloved.
If Ganchi asks for a little more, she won't say no. She will provide plenty.
I will tell them this too.
"The land is his beloved. She will provide plenty."
I'll just say one thing.
If you fail to deliver it on time for any reason,
then my superiors will be unhappy with you.
When they are unhappy, they just... Let's leave it at "just."
Well, I'll go ahead and say it.
If you don't deliver it on time,
then they will lose their minds.
They will be here with their entire army
to kill all of you, every last one of you.
I mean, they didn't say it out loud.
This is my experience talking.
Anyway, I know you won't give them a chance to be unhappy.
Right? Let's confirm the deal.
Deliver it by the end of this month. Okay? End of the month, and that's it.
How many days in this month, 30 or 31?
Thirty-one.
See, you got an extra day too. Lucky.
- Advance. - No, there's no need.
There's no need for formality. Mahendra...
Just keep it. Keep it.
Once you make a payment, you can put pressure on the other party.
Okay. If God is willing, we will keep working together.
And if it's not God's will...
That asshole, motherfucker, prick bastard! He dares threaten Ganchi.
Smiling all through that meeting made my fucking jaw hurt.
- Isn't this Bengali a little too cocky? - Why wouldn't he be?
He can afford to be cocky.
Sir, we need that new Narcotics guy in control immediately.
If we don't, he'll interfere with the deal.
I'll speak to Mishra and tell him to go meet with him.
VAYU AUTO
- Get me pliers. - Okay.
Kamarcut, what is it?
Sir, your favorite customer.
The tire seems to be punctured. I'll take a look.
Hey, go inside. I'll be the one fixing her puncture.
Riding a bike like this will make the tire burst.
There's always something wrong with this bike.
Let me do it.
I was thinking about you last night.
At night? About me?
I mean, what happened to your father was tragic.
When I was in high school, some guys were teasing me in the market.
Then your father showed up.
He grabbed one of them and gave him a tight slap.
One slap and the boy blacked out.
People were always scared of your father.
But that day, I saw he had a heart too.
- Are you okay? - Yeah. I mean...
- What will you do now? - Now?
Nothing. There's two more motorcycles.
I have to fix them. Then I'm free.
- I'm asking about your father. - Dad is all right.
Wait, no. Dad is no more, right?
I'm asking about your father. Are you going to do something?
Oh. There's a memorial service in two days.
We've organized a dinner at home.
So his soul rests in peace.
- Kamarcut! Here. - Yes, sir.
- There's a puncture. Fix it. - Okay, sir.
- How much? - Don't bother.
I can't take money from you.
- Have I ever charged you? - Thank you.
- Tea? - No.
- Kamarcut, get two teas. - But she doesn't want any.
Sir, take the payment for once.
Hey, she's going to be my bride someday.
Does she know she's going to be your bride?
You talk a lot for someone with such tiny rabbit teeth.
Every day, Raju Confectionary sends a lot of samosas and desserts
to Lekha's place.
There are only two people there. Who eats the rest?
Who?
New suitors for Lekha visit them every day with their parents.
- Lekha is going to be... - Someone else's.
When will I have my own auto shop?
My life has become a living hell in the service of my uncle.
Suneel, just imagine. "Tipu Motors."
Once I open my own shop,
I'll confidently tell her, "I'm in love with you."
"And I would like to marry you."
Well, you don't need to wait so long.
I can see her love for you in her eyes.
- Right? - I can see it, even if others can't.
All I'm saying is be quick about it or you'll lose Lekha.
Be quick? I'm not trying to catch hens. I can't just go and tell her.
I have to say it in a way that pleases her.
- She's an English teacher. - Yes.
- We'll propose to her in English. - We?
I mean you.
And how will we do that?
I have an idea.
Two, four, six, six, six. Hat-trick!
Out.
- How is it? - Excellent.
- Will you give it to me after you read it? - Since when do you read comics?
You read them, so I also want to.
Look, there is the truth of your true love.
She is flirting with your friend.
She isn't flirting. Nannu is CL and Mamta is ACL.
They're talking business.
Keep your eyes off my girlfriend. Think about Chanda.
- I haven't seen her for days. - Yeah, it's been a week, right?
Yeah, that's right.
- She stopped showing up in my dreams too. - Class, silence!
This class is the rowdiest of them all.
What is this, Lalkrishna?
Is this how you monitor the class?
Sorry, ma'am. It's a free period, so...
Go. Sit down.
Class, this is Jyotsna.
- Hello. - She'll be studying with you from today.
- She's fashionable. Wearing jeans. - Please welcome Miss Jyotsna.
Yes, ma'am.
- Sit down. - Thank you.
So, today we'll study Munshi Premchand's novel, Godaan.
"Hori didn't know how to deal with Dhaniya today."
-"He was dumbfounded." - Nannu, you are drooling.
Gangaram!
What's your problem? I always see you fooling around.
Pay attention!
"Hori didn't know how to deal with Dhaniya today."
Sir, this is our small factory.
And this is Kanshilal. He manages the factory.
Actually, sir, this opium factory is the second largest in India.
Opium is cultivated for about four months.
Once the flowers blossom and disperse,
it takes about 25 days to fully extract opium from the buds that remain.
The farmers send the raw opium to us.
Then we process it, and check its quality, sir.
Sir, this is our job. We are honest with our job.
How does the quality control work?
If it is pure opium, the water content will be the bare minimum.
We use this machine to assess it.
Opium comes in different standards.
Like somniferum L elite...
This is the opium used in most of the drugs, sir.
India is the largest exporter of medical opium.
This is our sorting area.
Once the processing is done,
we package the entire stock into two-kilo bricks
and send it to our government's warehouse.
From there, it goes to different alkaloid plants.
Then it's exported to pharmaceutical companies all over the world.
I make ledger entries of all the opium that the farmers send to the factory.
And we fax the report to the head office every week.
Sir, SP Mishra is waiting for you outside.
Why?
- Did he mention that he would come? - No, sir.
- Sir! - Arjun.
- How are you? - I'm absolutely fine.
When I heard Arjun Varma was coming to Gulaabgunj,
- I distributed sweets at the station. - You're too kind, sir.
Not at all, man. And I told them,
"Now the star of the Defence scandal will show you what a real officer is."
Let's go to the office.
I'll order tea and snacks for you.
Don't be formal, man. You are making me feel like a guest.
How can you be a guest, sir? All this is yours anyway.
Right!
A few days ago, I would be here all day long.
We used to be the ones handling Narcotics.
Now they have created these different departments
and they appoint officers specifically for the Narcotics team.
Especially competent officers like you.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if the departments are segregated.
We are still here.
- We'll work together. - Of course, sir.
Well, the thing is...
There is something I shouldn't tell you, but I can't help it.
There's a system in place here in Gulaabgunj.
It's different from Delhi where you have a free hand.
We maintain a balance here.
Okay? Let's make some time and hang out.
Come to my home. We'll have dinner.
You come to my place. I'll cook for you.
Really? You can cook?
Sir, my mutton biryani is amazing.
And my wife's carrot halwa is too good.
Halwa! Then I will definitely be there.
Please, sir. You're most welcome. Bring your wife too.
- Done! - Done, sir.
- Okay. - Okay, sir. Thank you for coming.
- Ramprasad. - Yes?
Find out which place serves the best mutton biryani.
- And carrot halwa. - Yes, sir.
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know...
What's going on?
Perfume doesn't come free for you to waste it on paper.
Unit tests are coming up. Focus on your studies!
When you love someone
It feels so right
So warm and true I need to--
It feels so right
Rate me so right?
It feels so right
Rate me so right?
I don't fucking know what these Englishmen are saying.
It feels so right...
It feels so right.
Okay! "It feels so right."
Are you done?
Why do you always sneak up on me like a ghost?
- You scared me. - Forget it.
- Are you done? - Yes, listen to this.
"So long I have been looking too hard, and waiting too long."
"Sometimes I don't know what I will find."
"I only know it's a matter of time."
Good job, man!
- What does it mean? - It's about love.
Just like Hindi songs. The only difference is it's in English.
Here you go, Shakespeare of Gulaabgunj. Your half.
Asshole, I do all the hard work, and you keep half the money.
Really? And who finds the customers? Who negotiates and closes the deal?
If you can't see me earning a few pennies, then keep your letter.
- Bro... - I won't work with you!
Come on, don't get emotional. Come on, sit down.
If you question a laborer's hard work, won't he get emotional?
Okay. Here, take it.
It's your lucky day.
Hey, here he is.
- Is it him? - Yeah, that's him.
You are Babu Tiger's son, right?
Just give me the letter.
- I have to tell you something. - Give us the letter.
It's important, man.
Did you do the job you took money for?
I did.
- Yes. I like it. Read it. - You read it.
Great. The kid put it all in English here.
"Life" is used two times. "Love" is used four times. Great!
The betel-shaped design at the bottom looks beautiful.
It smells good too. The kid smashed it out of the park. Bravo!
Fill in whatever you want after "Dear."
You didn't tell me the girl's name, so I left space for it.
Lekha. Her name is Lekha.
I mean, I fondly call her Lekha. But it's Chandralekha.
Here.
- Chandralekha? - Yeah.
- The teacher from our school? - Yeah.
- Put down her name. Chandralekha. - Okay.
Hey, wait. Just write "Lekha."
Well, it would be best to have my friend write the name too.
Because our handwritings don't match.
She won't notice. It's a small name. Write it.
The girl could get suspicious.
It won't take me long. I'll be there and back like an express train.
But... Okay, listen.
What did you have to tell me?
That thing? Nothing important. It was nothing. I'll be back.
Awesome! Smart boy.
If we had gone to school, you could have written your own letter.
- Do you want to go to school? - Hey, I passed tenth grade.
But you still can't use a spanner.
- Good morning, ma'am. - Good morning. How is my class today?
- Fine, ma'am. - Have you all been good kids?
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am, very good.
Excuse me, ma'am. Where were you?
Vasant, this is an English class. Speak in English.
Where you went, ma'am?
- No. - Chanda is mine.
- Only mine. - I had to take care of my father.
That asshole Tipu thinks he can steal Chanda away from me.
And he wanted me to write his love letter.
Scoundrel! He doesn't know that I'd do anything for Chanda.
I have good news for you, guys.
What, ma'am?
Your unit test dates are here.
- No, ma'am. - No, no. No complaining.
Take out your diaries and write down the dates.
- Excuse me, ma'am. - Yes?
- Oh, you are the new kid? - Yes, ma'am.
I'm Jyotsna, ma'am. I just joined.
It'll be really difficult for me to cover up the course so soon, ma'am.
But, unfortunately, Jyotsna, rules are rules.
After the class, come and see me. I'll revise the syllabus with you.
- As a special case. - Okay.
I wish I was the special case.
Okay, write down the dates. And Lalkrishna, share the notes with her.
- Yes, ma'am. - Jyotsna, he's our topper. Every year.
Now write down the dates.
Hey.
Shut up. Get lost.
Mahendra, tell your farmers that not one grain of the crop should go to waste.
Every gram of opium matters right now.
If Babu Tiger was still here...
he'd have handled it easily.
Sir, I found out who did it.
- It was Nabeed. - That's what I fucking said.
It was Nabeed.
- There's something more, sir. - What is it?
Nabeed hired a contract killer from Bombay to do it.
- From Bombay? - Yes.
His name is Atmaram.
Four-Cut Atmaram.
He doesn't just kill people. He purifies the soul in four stages.
Stage one, heart is cleansed.
Stage two, all sins are forgiven.
Stage three, freedom from temptation.
And once stage four is finished, your soul is on its way to meet God.
Seven. It's rumored that he has been granted seven lives, sir.
He is blessed. Not even death can lay its hand on him.
Many people tried to kill him.
But he always comes back from the verge of death.
And you believe in such bullshit stories?
No, no.
- Find out where he is. - Yes, sir.
Take Atmaram's soul out of his body.
Sir, she is here.
It doesn't feel right.
We didn't spend a hundred rupees on this love letter to keep it with us.
I'll do it tomorrow.
I'm tired of your excuses. Your tomorrow never arrives.
Go and give it to her.
This is your chance. Give her the letter before she rides up the hill.
Sir, this is your moment. This is your moment.
- Okay. - Go now. Go, or I'll beat you up.
- Are you sure she likes me? - Likes you? She loves you.
Go, go, go.
- Miss Lekha, good evening. - Good evening.
- Are you on your way home? - Yes.
Okay. I need to talk to you.
- What is it? - Please, stop.
Tell me.
Keep going.
Tell me, Tipu.
Well...
- Looks like she's going to say yes. - Of course! It was my idea after all.
Come here, come here.
- What did she say? - I gave her the letter and ran away.
Come here, man.
Hey, my man!
- Here she comes. - You'll get your answer today.
Tipu!
I never thought you'd do something this disgusting.
Take your letter back. And don't you ever even look at me again.
No!
You got your answer.
Hey.
Dinner will be ready in 20 minutes. Go and wash up.
- So, how was your day? - It was fine.
Where is she? Upstairs?
How was your day?
I know when your "fine" is fine, and when it is not.
Same story. I don't know.
Juni, glass.
Let me do it.
Listen, you don't need to do this. I'll do it.
Just go and get some rest.
You don't need to feel guilty.
How do I not?
I keep moving you from one city to another.
Your skin-care business is getting compromised because of me.
Arjun, the day I feel that way, I'll let you know.
I'm sorry.
- We won't talk about it again. Okay? - Okay.
- Promise? - Promise.
Oh, God! How despo you both are. The censor should ban you both.
- An R-rated movie in front of kids? - Shut up.
Jo, do you know how old I was when I fell in love with your mother?
I know, Dad. We all know. The entire world knows, in fact.
I was just two years older than you.
And after five years, we got married.
One year later, we got you.
Did you guys have nothing to do?
Jo! Let it be.
- I was doing it fine. - Too slow.
Jo, I got something for you.
Show.
Desmond Bagley.
- Thank you. You're my favorite. - I know.
Hello. Hello?
Sixth time today.
What? I didn't give the number to anyone.
Yes. But all I'm saying is that it's a new place, a small city.
Please. Be a little more careful.
Listen to your mother.
I'll get it.
Hello.
Hello?
Hi, Arjun.
Miss me?
Arjun?
Blank call.
SHERPUR - 24 KM GULAABGUNJ - 6 KM
BHIMA'S DHABA
What are you staring at? Go on your side. Get lost!
It seems like the entire Sherpur army is down here today.
- You can't trust them. Be careful. - We'll handle it. Don't worry.
Jugnu, this is my wedding invitation.
How is it?
I don't even know why you are getting married.
Everyone has to get married sooner or later.
Who says everyone has to get married? Huh?
What do you get by being married that you can't get otherwise?
Nirmal, he asked you something. What do you get by getting married?
- What did you say? - I spoke the truth.
Can you Gulaabgunj guys even satisfy your women?
They come running to us Sherpur men.
They just need us to satisfy them once.
Don't cross the line.
- When did I cross the line? - Bro, I saw him do it.
What are you going on about?
"Crossed the line." I did! I'll do it again. What will you do?
Do you have the balls? Cross the line. Cross the line!
- Here you go. Now do what you want. - Asshole, you're gonna throw punches?
SHERPUR - GULAABGUNJ
Go sit in the car. Go.
Stop!
HOTEL MAYURA
Looking good, Arjun.
I filled the tank this morning. Why did the bike stop?
- Push it, man! - I am.
Even the bicycle passed us by.
Is that my fault?
- No, it's my fault. - No, it's mine, right?
I told you not to buy a second-hand bike.
- Bro! - Come on.
Please check what went wrong.
Not now. Come in the morning. I'll have it fixed.
Why can't you check now?
The boy who fixes it went home.
Who are you then?
- Me? - Yes.
Nobody.
Listen, we'll give you ten rupees extra. Please do it, man.
Our knees are hurting. We dragged it for ten kilometers.
Manish. It feels like I've seen him somewhere before.
Who is he?
Bro, he is Babu Tiger's son.
Babu Tiger's son?
Hey! What's your father's name?
What's wrong? Don't you know? Any confusion?
- Babu. - Babu Tiger?
What does your father do?
He died.
- What did he do when he was alive? - Let it be.
What happened? Was he sick? Was he murdered? How did he die?
- This will take time. Come tomorrow. - Forget that.
What happened to your father? Did someone kill him?
I need to close the shop. Please leave. Go.
Let's go, man.
Hey, fucker! What is it?
It doesn't take me a second to beat up an idiot like you.
- Get it? - Manish, don't get aggressive, man.
Shut up and don't interfere.
Should I tell you how we killed your old man?
I was there. We hacked him and tossed him in the field.
We made him run hard. He kept running in the fields.
He was gasping.
The first cut, slash!
He toppled, I grabbed him.
And then I went...
I dragged him and slashed him repeatedly.
Then, the third blow.
The fourth cut. He started gasping for air.
Hey!
Let go.
Motherfucker!
Hey, why are you chasing me?
I did nothing! Stop!
Hey!
Hey, brother, please spare me!
You're a good man!
Please spare me!
