There are 10 zeroes in 5,000 crores.
Your brother will need a lifetime to return that kind of money.
Tell him to spend 5 years behind bars instead.
It'll be over before he knows it.
Why return them when he didn't take it?
Where are these 5,000 crores?
Did you find them?
Look, sir, I think he shouldn't go to jail at all.
Your brother has changed the city.
But look...
It's all too clear.
We won't go to jail at any cost.
Whatever it takes.
We've more money than God.
Even you know that it's no longer in our control.
- We've orders from the top. - The top?
Where were you two a year ago?
Go tell your superiors that Hemant is above all.
Viren... think about your family.
Your wife and kids...
He is speaking calculatively.
If you guys don't have decent offer
then at least give a decent piece of advice.
'At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps'
'India will awake to light and freedom.'
'India woke up to a mixed economy.'
'The landlord system was abolished.'
Then, to abolish poverty private banks were nationalised.
In fact, even the newspapers were saying
that India is on the verge of bankruptcy.
And foreign reserves are depleting.
'The government started selling RBI's gold secretly.'
'And India was on the verge of bankruptcy.'
'The country was poor'
'maybe it had poorer ideologies.'
'But as soon as the economy opened up'
'a small tip gave a man some pretty big ideas.'
'His ideas flourished even before him.'
Greetings, Mr. Hemant.
Hi, Mr. Baldev! How are you?
Thank you very much.
What for?
Taking such good care of my child.
But today is his last day here.
I am moving him to Doon School.
- Doon School? - Yes.
- Straight to Doon School. - Yes.
That's quite a leap, Mr. Baldev.
I won the jackpot.
- What jackpot? - Stock market.
I've been investing for the past 15 years now.
But never made any good profit.
But last week a broker gave me a very nice tip.
Bombay Textiles is going to give strong financial results in two weeks.
And the Singhanias want the broker to buy ten lakh shares.
Starting now.
So that prices increase when the results are declared.
It's pretty simple, Mr. Hemant.
I'll buy 20,000 shares at the rate of 24 rupees.
And the broker's told me
that once the results are declared
the rate of my shares will increase from 24 to 50 rupees.
Imagine...
520,000...
Yes. Profit!
Sir, don't take Mr. Baldev's tip so seriously.
Never put down a man when he's aiming for the top.
Do one thing...
Find me Bombay Textiles' annual report.
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Priya.
- Priya. Hurry up, Priya. - Yes, dad. I am coming.
Which beer did you get this time?
Thunderpunch.
Don't call it a beer.
- Let's put a quarter of whiskey in it. - Yeah! How are you?
And next morning, full hangover.
Just add water.
- Don't speak nonsense. - You are speaking nonsense.
In our budget, whatever we buy will give us a hangover.
Listen, I'll arrange a meeting with her today.
You two have been watching each other from a distance for a year now.
- This meeting will happen today. - Hey...
I even said it's your birthday.
Don't be upset and spoil our mood if she refused to come over.
There you go, Viren. Let's start. It's too late now.
He's going to sulk over Priya's refusal.
Pour some more.
Hi...
Beer? Goldspot.
Out here?
Cheers.
You're not drinking.
You don't know about his tantrums. He...
I will drink only when the best quality is available.
"Happy birthday to you."
You have the world's best brother and friend.
I know, but how do you know this?
Who else would arrange for a fake birthday party in such a short time?
And you can't have two birthdays in 7 months.
Aunt had come over to give sweets.
Look, Hemant, I don't want to mislead you.
I like you.
But...
My mom and dad are looking for a husband for me.
And they even have a checklist.
What?
Meaning they have some conditions.
Like the guy should own a car, a proper job
and most importantly
he shouldn't be living in a rented home.
He should have a home of his own.
And I've none.
I don't believe in their conditions
but I can't go against them.
What are you looking at?
Hemant. Hemant.
- Those guys are beating up Viren again. - What?
- Move. Move back. Come on. - Get aside.
- Let me through. This is my home. - Where are you going?
- What are you doing? - One minute. One minute.
- Let's just talk. Why are you beating me? - Stop.
- Leave me. - What are you doing?
- Let Viren go. - Save me.
Who are you?
I... I am his older brother.
Better explain to your brother
when he borrows money from the market, he should return it on time.
What did you think?
Hey...
- Talk to me. - Don't hit me.
I said talk to me.
He thinks if he doesn't answer my calls, I'll lay off him.
What is he talking about? What money?
Brother, I got a tip...
150,000 rupees.
With interest, it amounts to 200,000!
I invested the money in the stock market and lost everything.
- Hey... - Let's talk.
Listen. Listen.
You'll get your money.
I assure you. Just let him go.
2 weeks... 200,000...
Otherwise...
You'll get it.
- The entire amount. - Please leave.
- Let's go. - Get lost.
Which company did you invest your money in?
How do I say this?
Two guys came to me with an idea of setting up a beer factory.
Basically, it turned out to be a bogus company.
Can I help?
No.
I'll handle it.
- It's not possible, Mr. Hemant. - No, no, Ashok, within a year.
Come on, Hemant, if it was just 5,000 or 10,000...
I can give you 60,000 for this. And 6 months.
'To get released.'
'One lakh. Time 10 months.'
I can't win against you in a negotiation.
80,000?
- Viren! - Yes, brother.
Do one thing.
Buy 5,000 shares of Bombay Textiles.
Immediately.
I visit Shirdi, stand in the queue for 5 hours, pray for my children
and what do my children do?
Sell my jewellery.
No, mom, we didn't sell. It's an investment.
Shut up! You've always been greedy.
But you're the smarter one, Hemant.
That's why I planned this investment, mom.
Nonsense...
Brother, what was your plan behind this investment.
I got a tip, I took a gamble and got screwed.
You also did the same thing.
There's a big difference between a fluke and placing a bet.
I planned this carefully and gathered information before making this bet.
What you did was a fluke.
Bombay Textiles is an enormous company.
They are financially strong.
They're planning an expansion.
Their share prices will rise for sure. You just wait and watch.
But when?
It's been five days, and there is no hike at all.
- It will. - But when?
I said it will.
It will. Just watch.
- Did it rise? - "This is a story I want everyone to see."
"Watch as I crank up the jealousy."
"This is a story I want everyone to see."
"Because their mouths I've got to feed."
"They don't know how hard I strived."
"I was willing... to agree to it all."
"All my life, they made me shed tears."
"Everything I earned they took a share."
"Even with teary eyes, I kept their business going."
"And yet they sidelined me."
"It's all their treachery."
"Their trickery."
"They hurt the entire country."
"They think I am a saint."
You're not from the stock market
and yet you took such a great leap.
"Watch me closely, I am the shackle holding you down."
"Abusing in English sounds cool"
"and my abuses make me sound like a fool."
"These fools fill up the pool."
"You may be the principal, but I am the whole school."
'As expected the price of Bombay Textiles' shares hiked.'
'300,000 in two weeks.'
'I hadn't made this much money in three years of my job.'
[chanting prayers]
Viren, wake up. Come on, wake up.
Viren. How does one become a stockbroker?
- I want to be one. - What are you saying?
Stockbroker. Wake up.
We made money from a tip that comes once in a couple of years.
We were lucky.
It's a stressful job. I am thinking of quitting.
Only those with a habit of winning become winners, understand.
And you're talking about quitting.
Who's quitting what?
Shoes...
Nothing. Leave it.
Give it.
I want to be a stockbroker, and he's talking about quitting the market.
This is our opportunity to make a fortune
but he's being a wimp.
Wait a second.
You can't become a stockbroker easily.
You'll need a lot of money for that.
You'll need connections with renowned businessmen.
And no one will let you inside the ring like this.
I am done doing simple jobs.
Mom, please make him understand. He's lost his mind.
Hemant. Hemant.
Hemant.
Move. Move. Let me do it.
Listen, son, such miracles won't happen every day.
People call the stock market a gambling den.
Try to understand.
This family runs on your earnings.
Without that...
Mom, it wasn't a fluke, please.
I took advantage of the information.
Advantage...
And information can be obtained...
Last time I did it because I was helpless.
This time I'll do it, so we're never helpless again.
Try to understand.
But, listen...
I've done 6 jobs in 14 years.
And what do we have?
Priya is on the verge of getting married
and this is my opportunity to make a fortune.
Don't worry. You won't regret it.
- Hemant. - Yeah...
Let's go. We're getting late for office.
Mom, did you make him understand?
You won't quit the share market.
You will support Hemant. He needs you.
So, he made you understand.
If brother can perform such a miracle again
then we will be sorted for life.
You think he can't do it.
No.
I am scared that he'll do it again.
- Where to? - Inside.
You can't go in. Come on.
And then he won't stop.
- Brother. - "Rich are happy"
- "because poor are on sale." - Get aside. Come on.
"Whose fault is it? And who goes to jail."
"Do you wanna be a Cheetah? Or just a Snail."
"I'm helpless because my plate's never full."
- "The society will think" - 300 rupees...
"my deeds are shameful."
- "I'll alone pull the weights." - I'll order the tea and come.
"Remember, I am the one and only Big Bull."
"Let's go."
"This is a story I want everyone to see."
"Watch as I crank up the jealousy."
What treasure is he searching for in this scrap heap?
"I've to satiate their hunger too..."
"This is a story I want everyone to see."
"Watch as I crank up the jealousy."
If fate had favoured me, and I had more contacts
I could've taken this city to the sky.
A real man makes his own destiny.
I will.
And soon.
We'll have a grand wedding.
You've big dreams, Hemant.
I like it.
But I can't wait for you to fulfil them.
Before taking this city to the sky
I want you to be worthy enough to ask for my hand in marriage.
We do all the work, and Kantilal takes half the share.
We'll have to get out of this small world of sub-broking and be bigger.
We'll have to take the membership of BSE.
Are you joking?
Your idea is great.
But the fee for BSE's membership is ten lakh rupees..
We get only 500-1,000 rupees.
We make 12,000 in a month.
Let's go.
The market is unpredictable. Got it?
Kanti bhai, here's your share of 50%.
Okay?
Hemant, bring me a big tip.
Giving me 50% out of every deal will get you nowhere.
Understood.
What to do?
My father didn't leave behind a broker's card for me.
We've to settle the accounts with Rajesh as well.
Kanti bhai...
Be careful. You don't know what to say...
Rajesh, please settle our accounts.
Hey, what are you doing, sir?
- Viren. Let's go. - Yes.
- Where? - I said, let's go.
At least tell me
what you read in the newspaper
that we're going to visit this big Union Leader.
Premier Auto vehicles are in demand.
There is a 6-month wait period for a vehicle.
Will he get us a dealership of the vehicles?
The company is increasing production to meet the demand.
This means the share price is going to rise.
But why are we in such a hurry?
Rana Sawant has instructed the company to fulfil the demands of the workers
or else he will declare a strike.
What is it to us?
I want to know whether
he's actually going on a strike or it's just a baseless threat?
We're average people. How can we question him?
Raju, does Sawant carry a gun?
Not just him, even his dozen bodyguards carry guns.
And that too imported ones.
Brother, I am not going. You go.
You want the nectar but are not willing to churn the ocean.
I don't want to die.
I am scared. You go alone.
- Come on. - What are you doing?
Let's go. Let's go.
Hello, boss.
Wait.
Does this look like a carnival to you?
Who is the boss?
He's the boss.
Only the boss can meet the boss, okay.
You sit here. Come on. Sit.
Let's go.
- Is everything safe inside? - Yes.
You have five minutes.
I am a broker. I'm here to talk about your profit.
I don't treat people who lie to us about our benefits.
I am not big enough yet to risk my life.
Look.
You fulfil the needs of workers.
So do I for middle-class people.
What help do you want from us?
I am here to help you.
You have 2,300 workers at the Premier Auto plant.
A week's strike means 350,000 in expense...
which I can give you.
You'll give me 350,000 rupees.
Have you seen your condition?
Two things are considered important in life.
Water and Gold.
A person cannot survive without water.
And gold...
Gold can't be used for man's daily needs.
Yet the rate of gold is higher than water.
Come to the point.
I'll build my value like gold.
10,000...
I can turn it into Ten lakh rupees if you help me.
Why would I have any connection with a man who talks about turning
10,000 rupees to Ten lakh rupees?
Why should I trust you?
Because the risk is on me. Not you.
This 10,000 is my life's earnings.
You just have to give me one piece of information, and you'll lose nothing.
But if I can't take advantage of that information
then I am finished.
What information do you want?
When and which plant will you call for a strike and when will you end it?
"Do you know where money belongs?"
"Consider it a sin or consider it a blessing."
"Makes and breaks lives overnight."
"Fill your pockets or make wealth."
"Do you want to change the system or blame it?"
"Do you want to catch me or my game?"
"I am the bull you can never tame."
"Their hands move when at me they take aim."
"The poor are silent because the rich gets easy bail."
"Rich are happy because poor are on sale."
"Whose fault is it? And who goes to jail."
"Do you wanna be a Cheetah? Or just a Snail."
"I'm helpless because my plate's never full."
"The society will think my deeds are shameful."
"I'll alone pull the weights."
"Remember, I am the one and only Big Bull."
- Thank you. - Yes, sir.
So you want to be a broker.
You do know what it takes to get this card.
Yes.
It comes with great responsibility.
Yes, I know.
We know too.
I know what you're doing with Premier Auto.
What are we doing, sir? Just making some money, that's it.
Making money, huh?
Shall I let you in on a secret?
You're investing in the market by gathering secret information
it's called Insider Trading.
You're lucky this law doesn't exist in India yet.
If this was America, you would be behind bars.
There's still time. Mend your ways. Got it?
You bring the law.
We'll stop doing it.
What a stare you gave that Mannu.
He was scared.
Giving him the stare is not my goal.
Watch what I do next.
Listen, our new office...
- What happened, man? - Rana Sawant got murdered.
Run for your lives. The riot is going on.
'Rana Sawant's murder wasn't the first shock for Hemant.'
But it prepared Hemant for the ups and downs of the market, as well as life.
Today, in Hemant Shah's case a big news will be disclosed.
Sir...
- Sir... - One question, sir. Please.
One at a time. Ask your questions one by one, please.
One at a time.
Mr. Ashok, why do you think you're here?
I came to have a drink at the bar. Will you join me?
Such stupid questions deserve stupid answers. Next.
- Sir! - Yes.
As Hemant's lawyer, what is your opinion on everything
that transpired in the last six months?
It's very unfair to him. That's it.
- Sir. - Yes.
What big expose will happen at the press conference today?
Please give us a hint.
Look, when Hemant is involved, expect something big.
But let me tell you, this time there's going to be an explosion.
- Explosion? - Yes.
Be prepared for it.
- That's all for now. Thank you. - Sir...
Have you thought this through?
We should've got married instead of getting the membership.
We've only 17,000 rupees in the bank.
Do I pay the office rent or salaries?
Will you ever say anything positive?
We've a BR worth 40 lakh rupees.
Venkateshwar is the head of securities and trading.
I am sure it's going to be something big.
I was supposed to go watch a film with Tara.
Come with me quietly.
And you can watch movies on the VCR with Tara for the rest of your life.
- Does Venkateshwar sell VCRs too? - Keep quiet.
Why did you stop here? The bank is much further ahead.
We'll take a cab from here.
What for?
We're brokers.
We've a membership worth Ten lakh rupees
but they don't know that we're broke.
Fix your shirt.
Taxi!
Hari... sent this.
Look, Hemant and Viren.
The banking system has formed a new law.
We're investing our surplus funds with other banks
but now those transactions can only be done through a broker.
So every bank has to invest its surplus fund
through a broker.
Yes. It's an investment between banks.
So the government wants brokers to make a small fortune too.
Why not?
Look... if a bank needs money
those banks with surplus funds will lend it to them.
For a short term, and charge interest of course.
Now they can't give security every day.
Right.
That's why the borrower bank...
The bank that's borrowing the money
will issue a BR like this.
We call it a Bank Receipt.
I am issuing you a pay order today for forty lakhs.
In your name, against this BR.
Two weeks later Bank of Satara will return this forty lakhs with interest
and you'll transfer that money to our bank from your account.
Then we'll return this Bank Receipt to you.
For the settlement and reconciliation of the Bank of Satara.
Understood.
For this, we'll pay you a commission of 0.01%.
- 0.01%. - Yes.
Something big, as you said.
We'll get 400 rupees as commission.
Our lives are changed.
Look, we're giving you a cheque of 40 lakh rupees today.
Tomorrow it could be 40 crores also.
The transaction between the banks will increase every day.
And our banks always have surplus funds.
You can get a cheque daily
from our bank or maybe another.
Good luck.
0.01%.
Something big, you said.
I've a cheque for forty lakh rupees.
It's any day more than ten lakhs.
Look, one needs money to start any business.
This is that money.
I don't have time to arrange for working capital.
You know, I don't know how to tread slowly.
Stop trying to be funny. This money belongs to the bank, not you.
It's mine for two weeks.
Using someone else's money as our working capital.
It's risky.
Show me any business that doesn't involve risk.
If there is one, let's quit all this and take that up.
Okay?
- Look, the bank's not going to give us a loan. - Yes.
But we can keep this money as a loan.
Wow... it's the best.
It's my first gift to you.
Don't make it the last by calling it the best.
Hemant, I cannot accept this.
Priya.
Go downstairs.
What's in it? Open it?
How much is it worth?
10,000.
Why are you wasting money?
Look, Hemant, I don't want to see my daughter
living in these quarters for the rest of her life.
Priya knows only one Hemant. I've seen a dozen.
If you were in any other business, then maybe I would've thought about
when you'll buy a home and a car.
But a broker...
is just a broker, right?
And don't make a scene at Priya's wedding.
Take it back.
Those forty lakhs belong to the bank.
We can't do what you're thinking.
Listen!
Even that amount is too less now.
I want 2 crore rupees.
2 crores?
Priya only got engaged. The wedding is six months away.
[indistinct chatter]
What happened?
Speak up. Stop seeking attention.
I am going to lose my job.
I might even go to jail.
Why?
I sanctioned a loan for 30 lakh rupees to a guy against a property.
Now he's disappeared.
I don't know what to do.
Do something, Hemant. I can't think of anything.
I want 30 lakhs at any cost.
What's going on here?
He wants 2 crores, you want 30 lakhs.
We don't have enough money to pay the staff's salary.
We've turned off the AC to save on the electricity bill.
What do I do?
You tell me what to do? Go to jail?
Talk to your boss.
No one's going to understand, Viren, just like you.
Listen... Hey!
I said listen...
You know about our condition as well.
Have faith.
We'll think of something. We'll come up with something.
Forget it, Viren.
Viren sir. Hemant sir's calling him back.
Hari, issue me a BR tomorrow for 2 crore rupees in the name of NBI.
Leave it me to me on how to get it approved by Venkateshwar.
When I turn that 2 crores into 3 crores, you will get 30 lakh rupees.
What?
Wait a second. Wait a second.
Fake BR worth 2 crores?
Look... remember Premier Auto?
Yes.
Imagine if we had 2 crore rupees back then
where could that have taken us?
Hemant, what you're asking for is too big.
Bigger than going to jail?
Listen, you'll be going to jail for two years for this loan case.
If you get caught for issuing fake BR, you'll be jailed for 5 years.
In any case, you're going to jail.
I am taking all the risk.
Imagine... What if you don't get caught?
Then you're free.
And I'll be a millionaire.
Think about it.
I'll give you until tomorrow morning.
- Sir, Mr. Jayesh... - Call him.
Okay.
- Give the keys. - Jayesh bhai, we have to buy 5,000.
Go to your cabin. I am coming.
- Tell me everything later. - Okay.
You were supposed to go to Rawat Consultant's office. What happened?
Will 2 crores turn into 3 crore rupees?
We don't even have 2 crores yet.
I'll make it 3 crores...
- Yes? - Sir, I can't get through.
I called their office, but the NCC guy says we can't talk to the MD.
He's very busy. You can meet him only next month.
- Can I go, sir? - Okay.
Why do you want to meet NCC's MD?
Look, our country is going through a sensitive phase.
The new government is opening up its market for new businesses.
Now foreign countries will invest here.
The law of business is the same as that of the sea.
The big fish will swallow small fishes like NCC.
If I can explain this to the NCC's MD
then I will turn this 2 crores into 5 crores.
Hello.
Yeah, just a minute. Hari.
Yeah, Hari.
Okay.
- Venkateshwar sir, greetings. - Hemant, how are you?
Please, take a seat.
- So, you'll have tea? - Yeah.
So how does the market...
Please.
Please... tell me.
Yeah.
20 lakhs, 30 lakhs...
35 lakhs!
2 crores.
2 crores...
What is this?
I don't think you remember.
To save you from your wife's temper.
Happy Wedding Anniversary.
Oh my...
All this. Please...
Well, thank you so much.
You remembered my anniversary.
Well, I'll make pay orders against all these BRs.
Please. Have tea. Okay?
'Hello. The job's done.'
Half!
The rest lies in your hands, Hemant.
Your job isn't done yet.
You'll have to give me BRs worth 2 crores and 5 crores now.
There's no stopping now, Hari.
Hello. You asked me to call back at 3.
Sir, I told you to call back on the 3rd... of next month.
Is he so busy that he can't spare five minutes to make 5 crore rupees?
- Hello! - Buy 5,000 shares of NCC.
The rate's 300, buy it at 320.
Yes, Viren. Okay.
NCC. NCC... buy 20.
74...
Buy 40.
NCC. NCC... buy 30.
- Buy 50... - Buy 60.
Buy NCC shares at a rate of 340.
500...
Did you see the rate of NCC's shares is at an all-time high?
'Huge spike in the stock market.'
'Price of NCC's shares jumped from 300 to 500.'
Sir. We just a call from NCC.
Their MD wants to meet you immediately.
- I'm here to meet, Mr. Singh. - Yes.
This way, please.
'What do you see in this painting?'
They look expensive to me. All of them.
They look expensive to me.
You didn't see the texture
or the light-shadow play, or the colour choice.
Just the price tag.
My guess about you was right.
You're just a broker who wants to meet me.
We can never be equal
then why are you trying to equal me?
Why are you after my shares?
Because...
Even though your company
is the market leader in cement, it's far too undervalued.
Meaning?
Is something wrong with my financials or something else?
None of that.
Your company's value is 100 crores.
But according to me, it's worth 900 crores.
Because if someone wants to set up a company like NCC today
then he'll need an investment of 300 crores.
Three times more.
That's my replacement cost theory.
Right now you're holding 90% of your company's shares.
90...
If you put only 10% in the market
then I can take this 100 crores to 900 crores.
You'll lose some of your shares.
From 90 to only 80%.
But their value will be 10 times more.
- Sir... - We'll talk later, Behrouz.
900 crores?
Have you seen 9 crores?
Do you have any idea how much money you're talking about?
You've seen it, haven't you?
You've an idea about it.
So, am I saying anything wrong?
How high can you take the value of my shares?
Your shares will make history.
I can guarantee you that.
Just say yes.
Such confidence.
If the value goes up to 1,000...
I'll believe you.
Can you do it in 6 months?
I don't have that much time.
And yes...
I can see another thing.
The painter's name.
Khalid Dorabji.
He's ill. Lying in a hospital in Paris.
Less chances of his survival.
So you buy the painting before I do.
Because soon they will become invaluable.
'NCC's shares which were seeing a daily jump in price of 50-80 rupees...'
'It been said that NCC's shares...'
'In few months, Hemant Shah with his new and...'
Hemant raised the price of NCC's shares to 5,000 rupees.
Many industrialists and businessmen
started meeting Hemant expecting the same miracle.
What is the stock market?
You've to go see an agent for that. You know, brokers.
Should I invest some money too?
- You should. - Investing a little money is good.
You'll get results in six months..
Unbelievable, Sudeep, at least check the spellings.
Some retired uncle will write a letter to the editor and bother him again.
Do you want that?
Meera.
Think of the devil... Sir.
Why are we ignoring the Hemant Shah and Stock Exchange story?
- Really? - Really!
I need an answer. Will you please answer me?
I am the chief editor. I hope you know that.
- I know that. - Yeah!
We're not ignoring it. We're in fact celebrating the stock market rally.
Come on, Meera, I am sure something is happening there.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
Being a communist if you edit a financial paper, you're bound to be suspicious.
Something's cooking there, Meera. Come on.
The middle class is pocketing some of the upper-class money.
That's all that's happening. You should be happy.
Oh! Really?
'History was created at the stock market today.'
'The ever-increasing price of NCC's share has reached 5,000 rupees.'
'It's being said that every share that Hemant Shah's bought'
'is seeing a steep incline.'
MD sir, your shares have reached a record price.
'Now do as I say. Dilute your stake.'
From 55% to 30%
and earn the biggest profit of your life.
But, Hemant, the share price is going up.
Shouldn't we wait?
MD sir, I am controlling this price.
Sell them now.
Yes, Hemant sir.
Shekhar, buy all the NCC shares you can get.
Called me a broker.
How far are you planning to take the share's price?
9,000.
9,000?
What happened?
The zeroes don't fit in the calculator anymore.
What the...
Do you want to marry a girl who doesn't love you?
You don't.
Priya and I love each other. We want to get married.
I know I took too long to tell you, but... as the saying goes...
Better late than never.
You'll get to keep only one car key.
The other one is for my greedy father-in-law.
'With the price of NCC shares touching 11,000 rupees'
'Hemant Shah has started the share market's biggest bull run...'
Finally, after so long, it feels like a Sunday today.
That's true. Both of them love 'theplas' (pancakes).
You know what...
Serve these theplas before Mahabharat starts.
Tara. Hurry up, Mahabharat's about to begin.
Hello.
Who is this?
Hemant sir. Pandey from Delhi from the Minister's residence.
I apologise for disturbing you on a Sunday.
Not at all, Mr. Pandey.
Sundays don't make a difference for people like us.
How can I help you?
Well, our sir needs your blessings in the market
and in exchange I'll give you political haven.
And what is this haven called?
Sanjeev Kohli.
Member of Parliament S.P. Kohli's son.
He wants to release the IPOs of his company TelAir.
So he wants to enter the world of telecom.
Hemant sir, you alone are not responsible for the progress of this country.
Okay then, I'll arrange for your tickets.
See you in Delhi.
Viren.
- Yes, mom. - Is everything all right?
All good.
What happened?
What can be better than this, mom?
Exactly.
The new house. The cars parked below.
Isn't this all happening too soon?
Mom, you know brother can't tread slowly.
I know.
Since he was in school.
Even in school, he...
Don't worry, mom.
It won't happen again.
I am there.
Don't worry. Just watch.
When are you going to Delhi?
So you heard.
What happened?
We've been married for two months.
What about our honeymoon?
We're going to America next month.
Forget America. I haven't seen Delhi yet.
You're going to Delhi the day after tomorrow.
Take me along too.
At least show me Delhi.
Welcome, welcome, Hemant sir. Welcome. Welcome, madam.
These guys will help you check-in.
There's a car parked outside for your sight-seeing.
I've also assigned two bodyguards.
- Bodyguards? - Yes, you need bodyguards.
This is Delhi, Hemant sir. You've got to flaunt it.
See you in the evening at Sanjeev sir's party.
Be comfortable.
'There is a lot of anger among the people of the Indian economy'
'on the new guidelines of the parliamentary affairs committee.'
'This has garnered a sharp reaction from various economists'
'and also from the Bombay Stock Exchange.'
'The parliamentary affairs committee...'
"Why ask for my heart? Take my life instead."
"Just give flight to my dreams."
"Why ask for my heart? Take my life instead."
"Just give flight to my dreams."

"I prayed for love..."
Others are just alive. It's these guys who are living it up.
These Delhi people... they live life like kings.
Even if they do, do they have to dress like one?
What you see is what sells.
And if you have it, then flaunt it.
You're equal to each one here.
And you've as much as anyone here.
Wear your jewellery to the next party.
And then watch...
We're not one of them, Hemant.
Hi, Hemant.
- I am Pranay Oberoi. Classic Motors. - Yes.
- Big fan of yours. - Thank you.
- Come, join us. - We will.
- You will. Come. - Yeah!
Pranay Oberoi.
We may not be one of them, but they want us to be.
Do you know why? Because they all know
I can make much more than what all their ancestors made.
Hemant sir...
Hemant sir, Sanjeev sir is calling you.
Yes... Come...
Just you, please.
Come...
Sanjeev sir... Mr. Hemant.
Welcome, Mr. Hemant, welcome.
Welcome to Delhi.
Firstly, Mr. Hemant, congratulations.
Your working style is as unique as it is aggressive.
Right foot first.
You've helped so many companies manage their operations in the stock market.
I would like you to help us in a similar way.
Go ahead.
Mr. Hemant, what do you think is the future of India?
It's the telecom industry.
If you join us, I promise you the sky is the limit.
You can't even begin to imagine the growth potential.
India's top 10 industrialists... whenever you want.
Mr. Sanjeev, even I want to build a financially strong economy.
But for my ideas, I don't need industrialists, but political support.
Mr. Hemant, you just made my job a lot easier.
Dad's there.
Anyone... anytime... your call.
What do you say?
Let's drink to that.
Scotch?
'Aren't you drinking?'
'I will'
'only when I've the best quality.'
TelAir's magic worked.
Hemant's magic worked.
'Those who were in the stock market, their pockets got a little heavier.'
This month I made 300,000 rupees.
'People would buy shares when Hemant would raise his hands.'
Viren, Kantilal speaking.
"The one and only Big Bull."
I've called so many times.
Let me speak with Hemant just once.
'The world began to change on Hemant's bidding.'
"The one and only Big Bull."
'He had started manipulating share prices, and I started writing about him.'
This man.
Do you know who he is?
He's the Amitabh Bachchan (superstar) of the share market.
His name is Hemant Shah.
Some of my boss' friends work in his office.
They keep giving tips.
When the boss sells, I do too.
'Last week I made 7,000 rupees.'
What is it?
Meera Rao's fifth article about you.
She says Hemant Shah is just a bubble.
I don't know what her problem is.
Bubble.
I thought I was like an earthquake.
Disaster.
Okay, fine.
Give a front-page ad in next week's newspaper...
The title will be Hemant Shah is a Liar.
She is calling us a liar, isn't she?
We'll answer all of her questions.
What else.
See this... he's the real big bull.
That Meera took five jabs at him
but he knocked her out with a single punch.
Now we will have to work with four hands.
- Get the Indian Oil file quickly. - Right away.
Look! We have progressed.
[chanting prayers]
Every time I say 'swaha', you'll pour the offering into the fire...
- Okay, priest. - ...with these three fingers.
Okay?
[chanting prayers]
Meera Rao called again.
She's challenging you to an interview. But I said no.
But didn't we decide we'll do the interview?
She's trying to use your name to gain some fame.
The entire country's making money using my name.
If she wants to gain some fame, then let her.
'This ancient land of India regains its glory'
'and rightful place in the comity of nations.'
'This budget represents a contribution...'
'It's being believed that the liberalisation policy'
'has been completely inducted in the country.'
'...on the products which are presently accepting'
'10% rate of duty to 15%.'
Excuse me, is Viren Shah in?
- Your name? - What did I ask?
Is Viren Shah in the office?
Yes, sir.
Come in, everyone.
- Rashid. - Yes, sir.
Freeze the Accounts department.
Come on, remove it.
Calm down, everyone, and listen carefully.
- Move. - Pass this.
The office has been raided.
- Come on, get out. - What is going on?
- Where is Viren? - In the office!
No one's going to touch the computer, file, or telephone.
- Keep it down. - No one will ask anything.
Please bring that blue file.
Sir, we're ready for you.
Three. Two. One. Go.
Hello, and welcome.
My guest today is the man who's all over the media.
And he's known as The Big Bull.
Seize everything. Copy everything. Fast!
Rashid.
Where are the records for this entry of Indian Oil?
Where is the entry for this 5 crore rupees?
Atul.
Nikhil, did you find anything?
Nothing.
Okay. Get aggressive.
Threaten, abuse, do whatever you can.
I need the information at any cost.
- But that's against the rules. - Forget the rules, Nikhil.
I need information, that's it. Is that clear?
Right?
Mr. Hemant, our stock market is at an all-time high
with a huge contribution from you.
But this sudden boom looks artificial.
What's your comment on it?
The shares of our big companies are with their owner's families.
That's why they are undervalued.
If they release some of their stocks, only then will their valuation increase.
This way, the company didn't just lower the net worth of their companies
but also of the country.
Do you know that the gold reserves of our country
which has a population of 60 crore
is mortgaged with the Bank of England and Bank of Japan?
I want to ask Ms. Meera, isn't this embarrassing?
Go handle outside. I'll handle it here.
Couldn't you inform me earlier?
We had a deal.
Whom did you make this payment to?
Didn't we have a deal?
Answer me!
Whom did you make this payment to?
I believe your replacement cost theory is right
but I don't think that can bring such a boom in the market.
Maybe there's something else.
Hope.
Small word, but it's bigger than it looks.
The world clings on it.
Please, Mr. Hemant, logic...
I am coming to the logic, Ms. Meera.
You want to hear it in your words. Let's explain it in her terms.
The new boom has ushered in the hope of liberalisation.
Believe me, foreign investors are going to come.
They will invest their money here.
The industry will see a great surge.
The valuation of current businesses will increase drastically.
You're watching the boom of India's hope.
Mr. Hemant, let's talk about the stock market and share prices first.
Tell me... a share that cost 20 rupees has now reached 200 rupees.
Where did the money come from?
Did this money come from the 'bank of hope'?
Even you know that these prices are too inflated.
It's just money play.
Even 200 rupees is too less, Ms. Meera.
Let me ask you a question. Okay?
Ten years ago, if you had bought some shares for 20 rupees
and now that value of those shares is 200 rupees,
will you still ask me questions or sell those shares for 200 rupees and party?
Why has this figure been scratched here?
What's the original figure?
No matter what you say, Mr. Hemant
I believe this steep increase in share prices is not normal at all.
It can prove to be a disaster for ordinary people.
Currently, you're the biggest player in this market.
What is your advice to ordinary investors?
Just that...
We stopped thinking big.
The British didn't just take the Kohinoor (diamond)
but even our ideologies, our self-confidence, everything.
I want to teach India to think big.
I want to tell our people to think big.
Don't give them dreams that may never come true.
Look, ma'am...
He'll give us dreams and also make them come true.
And you know there weren't so many opportunities until four years ago.
Either property or gold.
Thanks to Hemant sir, we can double our money in a couple of months.
And we also get what we want.
Like a fridge, TV, or motorbike!
And also go on holidays.
Another thing, ma'am!
Thanks to Hemant sir, even an ordinary man can invest in the market
and buy shares of any company.
For the first time, we feel we are a part of the Indian economy.
Otherwise... only a handful of businessmen
and a couple of brokers used to play this game.
Look, madam, I am selling my gold, property, everything.
Only to invest in stocks.
And Hemant sir's word is the ultimate.
If he says that stock prices will go up, means it will go up.
I saved you today, but I can't do it every day.
Then even if you keep writing any amount of numbers on paper
it won't help you.
Tell your brother that he's flying too high...
And that too without a parachute.
If he tries to land, it'll be a crash-landing
straight into jail. Understand.
You see, madam, earlier businessmen like me
would keep 75-90% shares in their name or their family.
We had to take a loan from the bank to expand our businesses.
Thanks to Hemant sir, we didn't just learn to make profit
but also on how to increase the value of our shares by selling them.
Now we feel we've got our India back.
Hemant! Hemant!
Hemant! Hemant! Hemant!
Big Bull! Big Bull! Big Bull!
'Are you ashamed?'
'You've humiliated all of us.'
'Otherwise, God knows what else he would've done.'
'Please...'
- 'Get out now. - No, no...'
'He made a mistake. He won't do it again.'
- 'Please, papa... -Tell him. Tell him.'
'You're going to sleep outside tonight.'
- 'No one's going to feed him. - No.'
'Hemant, please... don't hit him.'
- What happened? - Hemant sir, any tip?
Do you have a car?
Car? You must be joking, sir?
Do you want one?
Before you buy a car, buy a tyre.
And only of KVG.
What?
This IT raid was just a warning.
I had a personal chat with the officer.
We should slow down now.
I can't tread slowly, Viren.
If the government and system want to catch me
then they will have to increase their speed.
Where will you take Mile High?
It's enough.
If this continues I am telling you, I'll resign.
We already have so much.
You're issuing cheques worth crores of rupees.
I don't know what banks we're dealing with
what companies we are dealing with.
Maybe you don't know either.
The banks don't know where their money is going.
They are all happy. Everyone thinks they are making a lot of money.
This is not normal. I am scared.
I want a normal life, brother.
We have a family. We'll have kids tomorrow.
Why don't you understand?
Last time when you did something like this
you had to sleep on your footwear. Remember?
That won't happen again. Don't worry.
Because I have
the ace of cards up my sleeve.
Who? The CM?
Bigger than him.
Finance Secretary?
Finance Minister?
Not the king of cards...
I said ace.
I'll be right back.
Take.
Take...
There's no need for this.
You've been handing out a lot by yourself these days.
Do you see where the Robin Hood inside me woke up?
In the stock market.
Whatever that's inside you... will one day send you to jail.
I see... did you bring in some new law?
I haven't... the law already exists.
And nothing will help you.
I've already given you this advice once.
I won't give again.
A man who makes money from others' failures
I don't need his advice.
What did you say?
Doesn't matter how many times you come to pray to this temple, Malpani
it won't change the fact
that you make money when the share market slumps.
The man who prays for the downfall of the share market.
That's you.
Your success lies in others' failure.
But...
Today when the market's going up, only one man is losing.
Even I can make small talk.
And since I'm from the market
I know this language which you'll understand better.
But since we're in a temple, I'll give you one piece of advice.
When a man goes up, up and up... he comes down, down and down.
And falls flat in the end.
Remember that.
I know how to fly...
Learn to look up.
Let's go, we'll finish this tomorrow.
Give me 10 more minutes, then we'll leave.
What isn't tallying?
Something's odd.
We've Bank Receipts, but I don't see the money in the books.
Is that all?
Forget it. We'll tally it tomorrow. How does it matter?
565 crores are missing.
Are you joking?
- Check it yourself. - There might be some mistake.
What's this, Meera?
- What is what? - Seriously.
Now you're implying that Hemant has links with the underworld.
I am just questioning where he's getting funds from.
Somebody has to be funding him.
The underworld is already funding films. They can fund Hemant too.
They can.
Come here. Come, come.
You see the construction cranes?
I spent my entire life in this city.
And I'll be honest with you.
I've never seen this city change so drastically.
It's like... India is reborn.
If Hemant is wrong, then all this is wrong.
Hemant is definitely wrong
but you decide about the rest.
Cheers!
Please come, sir.
Wow! She's more beautiful than she looks in films.
- Isn't she? - Yes.
And that Vikram.
We Gujaratis are on a roll.
By the way, Hemant, do you have any regrets
about marrying an ordinary girl even though you're so rich?
I hadn't thought about it yet but now when I look at them
I think I should've thought about it.
Hemant!
By the way, Bombay is now entirely controlled by Gujarat.
They can buy one half, and we can buy the other.
Oh yes, last week my friend Anjali was telling me
that Solanki will be the first billionaire of India.
- Really? - Why didn't you interrupt Anjali?
About what?
The billionaire part.
But she is right. What did she say wrong?
You should know the truth.
I'll be India's first billionaire.
Me.
Not him or anyone else.
Sir! Mr. Venkateshwar has called for you.
- Mr. Venkateshwar? - Yes, sir.
- Are you sure? - Yes, sir.
Mr. Viren, it's a catastrophe.
The bank found out that the money is missing.
Please tell Hemant to return all the money right now.
How much money is missing?
565 crores.
Please, Viren. Tell him immediately, otherwise... I'll be ruined.
Please.
Please, for God's sake.
Good to see you.
Your face is everywhere.
Dad was just praising you yesterday.
Wow... great ride.
You like it?
Keep it.
I'll buy two more.
Tell papa I said hi.
Hey... where did you find this?
It was stuck under the xerox machine.
Well done, Amit.
Hemant Shah receives his first BR on Monday
which he
doesn't dispatch to any other bank until
the second week's Thursday or Friday.
And we get to see this pattern in every transaction.
Hey!
It was all much ado about nothing.
Rascal...
We thought this money's coming from the Middle East
the underworld, politicians, but...
This turned out to be money from our banks.
I know how to clip wings.
Get used to falling, Hemant Shah.
'Don't travel near the door. And don't try to...'
Hi, I am Ashima.
Aren't you Meera Rao, the journalist?
Yes.
By the way, what school did you do journalism from?
Are you interviewing a journalist?
- Are you interested in journalism? - Yes, a little.
I wanted to ask why you chose a financial paper.
I just had an interest.
That's my station.
- Bye. Nice to meet you. - Bye. Nice to meet you.
Take.
'And finally, I received a big tip in this case.'
'NBI, from where a lot of money was missing'
'its manager Venkateshwar is the key to Hemant's vault.'
Meera speaking. Call Sudeep from room no. 20, please.
Hurry up, Sudeep.
Stay put here
and move only to inform that Venkateshwar has arrived. Okay?
Ma'am. Ma'am.
Mr. Raman. Senior Manager?
- Your name? - Meera Rao, India Times.
Please, wait.
The money will come back.
We got 135 crores back. The rest will come too.
But, sir...
Yes.
Hello, sir, Meera Rao is here to see you.
She wants to talk to you.
Send her in after two minutes.
two minutes, ma'am.
His office is on the first floor, isn't it?
- Yes. - Thank you.
Wait a minute.
Go now. I've an important meeting.
Hello.
- Sir. - Check out of the hotel.
Stay hidden in your hometown for two weeks.
- Don't answer anyone's calls. - I'll leave tonight, sir.
I'll come straight to the point.
I know about the missing money. 565 crores.
And I'm doing a story on it. I need your statement.
Tea or coffee, Meera?
Let's just get to the point.
Someone gave you wrong information.
There is no money missing.
Look, Meera
banks invest around 6,000 crores within themselves.
And reconciliation takes time.
There's nothing wrong.
- Sir is not taking it seriously. - I also feel the same.
'I was on the right track. The money was actually missing.'
'I just had to crack Venkateshwar.'
Hello, ma'am.
- Yes? - Mr. Venkateshwar, my name is Rama Mir.
- Madam... - I am the bank's lawyer.
The news has reached the media, so the bank's sent me to you.
But, ma'am...
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone anything.
A doctor never tells anyone about his patients
nor does a lawyer about his clients.
Attorney-client privilege.
It's okay, you can trust me.
Okay.
I'll tell you.
Hemant is a very smart man, madam.
He took advantage of the banking system's weakness.
This is Bank A, Bank B, Bank C
and Bank D.
Bank A gives a loan to Bank B for two weeks.
But through broker Hemant.
Two weeks later when it's time to return the loan
then Hemant takes a loan from Bank C
and gives to Bank B
then gives Bank C's loan from Bank D.
And gives Bank D's loan from Bank B.
And then from this bank and so on.
Then he's just rotating the bank's money.
What's the issue?
He's not just rotating the money.
He's investing all the money in stock markets.
The share prices are increasing
and he's enjoying all the profit.
Keeping the bank's money for two weeks is not a big deal.
But investing that money in the stock market is absolutely illegal.
There are numerous banks, countless cash.
Reconciliation takes a lot of time, and Hemant knew that.
And he's making a fortune by taking advantage of this.
It all started with a few crores.
But his greed grew too much
and he now has to return 565 crores to the bank.
Wait a second. Wait a second. The cheques that you give to the broker
I mean, where are the agreements?
Oh, God!
It's entirely the banking system's mistake.
Absolutely.
Hemant's name is on the cheques.
The banking system doesn't have a specific law.
Hemant knew about this grey area
and Hemant's making a fortune taking advantage of it.
Imagine that the banking system
itself gifted this scam to Hemant on a plate.
And it did not stop here, the worst part was...
He started issuing fake BRs.
Real BRs and fake BRs are being circulated in the market.
It's circulated.
And we're unable to check, find out the original from the fake ones.
How much has Hemant returned out of the 565 crores?
135 crores.
And where did Hemant get this 135 crores?
Central Housing Bank. CHB.
So that's where he got 135 crores.
But how did Hemant get access to CHB?
It's the country's treasury!
Have a biscuit?
I wish they were made of gold instead.
- Sir! - Meet, Mr. Mannu Malpani.
Meera Rao.
Hello.
- Hello. - Meera, sit.
I am all right, sir.
I've some shocking news for you.
It seems like Mr. Hemant Shah
was investing the bank's money in the stock market all along.
I know, sir.
I also know that 565 crores is missing from NBI.
- Oh, really? -Yeah.
When did you find that out?
It's a good thing though
that you found out on your own.
If you know this, then why did you come here instead of the police?
Because, Meera, this case doesn't belong to the police.
It belongs to the CBI.
And the CBI will investigate when you print it.
Or you got this information through some illegal channel
and you can't go to the police.
Meera, the source of information doesn't matter.
Our job is to investigate and report it.
Exactly, sir, if this information leaks out without thorough investigation
then the markets will crash.
And we all know who will benefit from that.
Sorry.
[indistinct chatter]
What happened, brother?
Something's not right.
You know what
invite the entire top management home for dinner.
Why? What happened?
You said you've an ace up your sleeve.
Just do as I said.
Invite everyone home.
Sir, what are you seeing in the pool?
Are you looking for hidden treasure?
What an amazing pool?
I want to take a plunge right now... with my clothes on.
Come on, I'll give you a hand.
I'll invite you to lunch someday, and you can swim all you want.
- Finish your drink for now. - Great. You're the best boss ever.
Thank you so much, sir.
- Guys, it's the boss. - You're absolutely right.
Why wait for tomorrow when you can do it today?
Come on.
Take your clothes off.
- Sir... - You're really funny, sir.
- You're really funny. - You're really funny.
Why are you all laughing when I didn't crack a joke?
Take your clothes off and get in the pool.
Now.
What are you doing?
One of them is recording our secrets and leaking them.
So let's find out...
Who's wearing a mic.
Take your clothes off.
Now!
Ma'am, NBI has issued a denial.
-What? - They claim there's no scam.
Sir...
Sir, please, sir...
Listen here...
There is no news here and nothing is out of place.
No need to panic.
As the bank said, it's just a reconciliation problem.
Everything will be settled in a few days.
- Mr. Shah... - Sir, sir...
Will it be just this bank
or should we prepare for a press conference outside all the banks?
I am sure all the banks have asked you for the accounts.
Sir, sir...
'Ms. Meera... Hemant Shah.'
'I wanted to meet you.'
What for?
'Whoever meets me always gets a profit.'
Note down the address.
Swarna Bungalow, Madh Marve Road.
Madh Island? Why so far?
What are you saying, Ms. Meera?
Your journalist friends go all the way to Switzerland, Sweden for a story.
I am only calling you to Madh Island.
Come over.
There's a car waiting for you outside.
Welcome, Ms. Meera, welcome.
Welcome to my weekend home.
Come in. Come in.
Do you have any interest in sports
or do you only like the game of toppling people?
Why did you call me here?
To celebrate.
Cheers!
You exposed the century's biggest scam.
Aren't you scared of the consequences when this scam gets exposed?
You see, Ms. Meera
sometimes the newspapers print the facts.
Look. Look here.
Just today, your newspaper printed an opinion poll.
64% of people are in my favour.
64...
Making money is an art, not a scam.
That's all I did.
I'll ask one last time.
Why did you call me here?
Who is your informer?
Who is the traitor, Ms. Meera?
And don't take Venkateshwar's name.
I want the name that led you to Venkateshwar.
Name.
You know, for a while even I was a part of those 64% people.
But then I found out the truth.
Fake BRs.
So stop thinking about the traitor and find a good lawyer.
Because they are coming for you.
Excuse me.
'Cosmo Service Bank, BNZ Bank'
'Bank of City, Urban Seva and many other banks have also found out'
'that Hemant Shah owes them a lot of money.'
Hello!
Hemant bhai!
Yes, Hemant bhai.
How can I let you speak to him, Hemant bhai?
Sir is not around. In fact, he isn't even in India.
He's not here, Hemant sir.
Okay, fine. I'll call you as soon as he returns.
- 'NBI Bank and Bank of Satara...' - Open the door.
- '...have been hugely affected by the Hemant Shah scam...' - Hari, open the door.
'...that they have run out of cash'
'and both banks are on the verge of closing down.'
Mr. Hari, open the door. Can't you hear?
- 'There was an uproar in the Parliament regarding the scam.' - Hey you, wait...
'The opposition leader has said'
'that the Finance Minister should tender his resignation.'
'The matter will be investigated by JPC formed by the government.'
Hey, come on...
Come out. Come on...
Come on, bring him down. Bring him down.
Hemant sir's call...
Yes, Hemant bhai.
Pandey, how many times do I have to call?
Last time you said Sanjeev's gone abroad.
Now he's not even attending my calls.
What's going on? Why isn't he answering my calls?
He isn't even answering my calls.
The situation is pretty tense.
I think he's very busy.
I'll tell him to call you back as soon as he returns.
God, make my day.
Please, sir, let us go...
Sir, sir...
- Get back. Come on. - Sir, I...
We will require 1 more box.
Borkar.
Mr. Hemant, you must come with us.
Mom, I'll have to go with them.
My only mistake was that I became too rich too soon.
Don't worry, I'll come back to you in a week.
Okay?
Be careful!
Come back, Hemant.
This isn't your punishment alone.
Until you don't come back, this house will feel nothing short of a jail.
Come, sir.
Sir, sir...
- Sir, sir... - Move, move...
[indistinct chatter]
'The Big Bull Hemant Shah and his brother Viren'
'were arrested by a CBI team today.'
'According to sources, Hemant Shah'
'is the mastermind behind the 5,000 crore rupees scam.'
We're standing outside the Bombay High Court
where the accused of the country's biggest scam
stock market's Big Bull
Hemant Shah has been sentenced to 14 days' police custody.
'The premiere investigatory agency has determined'
'that Mr. Shah is responsible for a 5,000 crore rupees scam.'
Where is all this government's money, which you have misused?
You don't have any option, Mr. Hemant.
Please, tell us the truth. Tell us everything.
'Who else is involved in this scam apart from you?'
'Staying silent won't help.'
'What connection do you have with Mr. Venkateshwar?'
'What deal happened between you two?'
This case has shaken the country's entire banking system.
'Many bankers have been arrested.'
'And they have all been sent like Hemant Shah...'
'111 days...'
'Hemant Shah's bail has been approved.'
'He's been given bail, but the case isn't over yet.'
'The investigation continues.'
You just got home. Where are you going now?
Take some rest.
I've rested enough for three and a half months in jail.
If I don't take any definitive step
then these people will bury me alive.
The worst is behind us. I promise you.
Hemant!
This confidence is what attracted me to you.
But you must stop now. Slow down.
Admit your mistake.
And together we'll deal with the consequences.
Why should I admit anything when I made no mistake?
80% of our banking system is illegal.
They are just making me a scapegoat.
Brother is here.
Welcome. Welcome back, Hemant.
Don't worry, complete strategy is set for the future.
- Viren. - Yes, brother.
Take all the case papers back from him.
What?
What did you say?
I'll stay only a week in jail?
Come.
Hari's gone into hiding. We don't know where he is.
Even his wife and kids are missing.
the Finance Ministry is ready to make a deal.
After keeping me in jail for 111 days, I know how their deal's going to be.
They must've thought that Hemant Shah is broken.
Now he will easily bow down.
We still have our ace of cards to throw.
Using my name to make money is acceptable to them.
But not the bad reputation that comes with it.
This time the deal will be equal.
Equal?
But, where are we going?
Remember what I said to you.
If you want to take a risk, then take a big one.
If this is the biggest scam till date
then we need the biggest lawyer too.
Ashok Mirchandani.
Mr. Hemant, you made one mistake.
Anything is possible in this country.
Use fake promotors.
Bribe the police.
Threaten the media, corrupt the judges. Anything.
Just one golden rule.
Never get caught.
And you, Mr. Hemant, got caught.
Now your best option, in this case, is what Viren is suggesting.
Make a deal with the government.
I will make sure that the CBI drops most of the charges.
You'll get a little jail time.
- Viren. - Yes, brother.
Call that Nair up.
Tell him, we're giving back this case to him.
I think we made a mistake coming to Ashok Mirchandani and Associates.
I thought I had the biggest ego in this room.
Mr. Ashok, you should know
that I made a record while in jail.
Within 111 days
70 people interrogated me.
Seventy...
But they got nothing.
You made your name by defending people like Mastan.
I didn't commit any murder
but these people want to make me the scapegoat
in this 5,000 crore scam.
Whoever bails me out of this case
will go down in the history of Law.
I heard there's a similarity between you and me.
Whenever we drink
we drink only the best. Or we don't.
So logically seeing... we only took advantage of the system's loopholes.
I have all this information.
There's one thing, which is confusing me and the CBI.
On 2nd November 1991, you withdrew 52 lakh rupees.
52 lakh rupees.
Why did you need so much money suddenly?
Look, Hemant, if you really want me to go down in history
then there can be no secrets between you and me.
- Viren. - Yes, brother.
Remember I told you I've an ace up my sleeve.
- Yes. - Wait a second.
An ace?
Are you camera friendly?
What you just told me
should be recorded on camera and played on television.
There won't be anything more sensational than this.
I've a better idea.
Call reporters and journalists from every corner of the world.
BBC, CNN, Time, Newsweek.
Let's do a press conference at the Taj.
Live.
We must shut Hemant up at any cost.
Otherwise, our jobs, life will be all over.
These are the exact words from the top.
We've only one option then.
Let's make a settlement with Mirchandani.
Because Hemant will never agree.
Good idea, let's go.
Mr. Mirchandani.
Dheeraj, CBI.
Don't waste my time.
I can't help you.
Really? What is this?
Is this a school? Am I some kid who'll be scared of you?
Listen, Mr. Mirchandani.
No one's trying to scare you, Mr. Mirchandani.
We just came here with a request.
Tell Hemant to stop this charade while there's still time.
A compromise is still possible. Even the Kohlis want this.
Then tell them to make a direct offer to Hemant.
He makes his own decisions.
Bravo, Mr. Ashok.
Spoken like a politician.
- Excuse me. - Yes, we know.
We know you're going to join the opposition in a few months.
And this charade is just an entry fee for them.
Am I right?
They only wanted you to bow.
But you're prepared to prostrate before them.
Excuse me.
Ashok Mirchandani doesn't bow or prostrate in front of anyone.
But you did the right thing by instigating me.
Because now I'll take your boss to the cleaners in the conference room.
Thank you for that.
Please. Excuse me.
Sir, call for you.
Took you soon enough, Mr. Sanjeev.
Hemant, what do you think you're doing?
Have you lost your mind?
You left me with no option.
I was patient for 15 months.
Look, Hemant, you can't defeat these people.
If you go ahead with this, then all the doors will close on you.
You don't know these people.
They don't spare their kin, and you...
Just remember, anything can happen at any time
and you won't know what hit you. Understood?
They were never open for me anyway.
Your biggest mistake...
You thought that barking dogs seldom bite.
But Hemant Shah's bite is worse than his bark.
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Listen, it's not too late.
Their people are already there. Give me some time.
I'll fix something, okay?
You have three minutes.
Mr. Hemant...
Sir, sir...
Sir, one question...
Settle down. Settle down. Just a minute.
Listen. Everyone, listen.
Listen. Sit down, please.
First, I'll read Hemant's detailed admission and then give my statement.
And only after that will you ask questions.
Please settle down.
On November 1st 1991 Mr. Sanjeev Kohli called Mr. Hemant
and asked if he can arrange for 1 crore rupees in two days.
His exact words were
"This is a lifetime investment opportunity for you".
Mr. Hemant started arranging for the money.
On 2nd November 1992, he withdrew 30 lakh rupees
from the National Bank of India in 100's and 50's denominations.
Then he withdrew ten lakhs from Forlay's Bank in 50's denominations.
The proofs are these withdrawal slips. Please.
Look here.
Then Mr. Hemant Shah's company president
Mr. Srikant arranged for 12 lakh rupees.
And Mr. Hemant Shah personally had 15 lakh.
Total 67 lakh rupees.
Mr. Hemant Shah informed Mr. Sanjeev Kohli
that's all he could arrange for.
Mr. Sanjeev said that he'll give the rest
and you can return them later.
He called Mr. Hemant to Delhi on 3rd November.
Mr. Hemant Shah and Mr. Srikant Kumar put the money in two big bags
and reached Delhi in the evening with an Indian on an Indian Airlines flight
and checked in the New Holiday Inn hotel.
Here's the proof. Please.
There.
Next morning Mr. Sanjeev sent a Contessa car.
Mr. Hemant and Mr. Srikant got in the car with the suitcases.
But they shifted to Mr. Sanjeev's Honda Accord
before reaching the destination
and put Mr. Sanjeev's 33 lakh in their suitcases.
Now they had exactly 1 crore rupees.
Then they headed for the destination.
The destination was...
7 Race Course Road
and the investment opportunity was the Prime Minister of India.
That's right. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Listen to me.
Please listen!
Normally...
Normally whenever there's a scam
we don't address it by the person's name.
We call it the Cement Scam, Coal Scam, that's how we call them.
If you want to give this scam a name, then let me tell you
this is not the Hemant Shah scam.
It's the Prime Minister Scam.
- Sir... - Tell me something...
Tell me something...
He knew what Hemant was doing, and yet he kept quiet.
He didn't do anything. Why?
What's the meaning of this?
It's all too clear.
He kept quiet because even he is a part of this scam.
That is all. Thank you.
- But, sir, such a huge allegation. - Sir...
What is the source behind it?
This is just an allegation, and I can refute this allegation in a minute.
I see.
How?
Because, Mr. Hemant, you said that the money which was withdrawn
was mostly 50's and 100's denominations
And how can you fit 1 crore rupees in two suitcases?
- Tell me. - Tell me, sir.
- Tell me, Mr. Hemant. - Tell me, sir.
Tell me.
Tell me, sir.
Do you want to check?
Check if it's 1 crore or not.
I can count it for you if you want.
Do you see it now?
Are you happy?
Can I speak now?
You say I'm responsible for a scam of 5,000 crores.
First of all.
What scam?
Whose money did I take?
Yours, yours... or was it yours?
Do you even know what a scam is?
I gave a tip to a lift man to buy shares of tyres.
Today he owns a car.
One day I bought peanuts at the signal.
Next day the cost of peanuts went up.
Is that a scam as well?
Yes.
I made a fortune in the stock market.
Did I do anything wrong?
Is it wrong to make money?
Not just you
but the entire country made money because of me.
But you won't accept this fact today.
20 years later you'll realise what I did for you and the country.
I am not the problem, ma'am.
The problem is our political system.
Our politicians do scams.
They don't want to see anyone else getting rich.
Today they are forming new laws to trap me
because they know I haven't broken any law.
They are experts in making false promises.
They are the ones who bury your dreams.
I taught middle-class India to dream.
I am a broker of those dreams and not the stock market.
5,000 crores, I'll tell you.
If I had it, I would've given it all back.
Do you know why?
Because I am and will always be the only Big Bull!
You can write whatever you like.
Hemant sir, please one more question. Sir, please one more question.
- Sir, one more question. - Thank you for coming.
Sir, sir...
'The Prime Minister has yet to comment...'
'Blame is on Prime Minister.'
'Bribe amount is 1 crore rupees.'
'There has been a huge drop in the market.'
'People have suffered a huge losses.'
'The Prime Minister has denied Hemant Shah's accusation.'
- Hemant Shah! - Down. Down.
Until that doesn't happen, the PM should resign.
Not at all. Hemant Shah is lying.
He just wants to escape going to jail for 5,000 crore scam that he did.
Wait a second.
You can never prove your case to JPC.
They are miles ahead, and...
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Is this why you called me here at this hour?
What you saw the other day was just part of the evidence.
We have much more.
You're not listening, Viren.
Your claims don't match with the police records.
According to the PM's itinerary
he wasn't at his residence on that day and time.
There is no record in the visitor's logbook of your brother's visit.
Your plane tickets, hotel stay
the entire money trail will be proven bogus.
You know what all this will mean.
It means that it's your word against the Prime Minister.
And whom will the people believe?
The Prime Minister or two scamsters?
I told you before the press conference, don't do it.
But no. Your brother had to satisfy his ego.
But now you must convince him to step back.
I don't know how you can do it, but...
Convince him.
Convince him to step back. Me?
And who is responsible for all of this?
Hemant Shah is the richest man in the country.
The highest taxpayer.
They will arrest you under the narcotics case, Viren.
What?
When or how don't even ask.
But they will do it.
Trust me, my sources are never wrong. And you know it.
But we've no connection with narcotics.
What are you saying, Meera?
You should know how powerful people in our country
manipulate the system for their own advantage.
You're out on bail now.
But there's no bail in a narcotics case.
If you keep this up, I guarantee that you'll go to jail.
And for a long time.
By the way, now we are even.
- Is brother still awake? - Yes, he's inside.
Listen, JPC doesn't believe our evidence.
Forget JPC. They are going to arrest us for narcotics.
Narcotics?
The news is confirmed.
What are you saying?
I don't want to go to jail again, for narcotics or the stock market.
Please handle this. I won't go to jail again.
What's wrong?
You promised you'll handle everything.
I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to go to jail.
I wanted a normal life as we had in Kalbadevi.
We used to be small-time brokers with a small office. Do you remember?
We were so happy with little money.
I warned you to tread slowly, tread slowly.
Don't fly too high, don't...
First, you said you're doing it for Priya.
Then you said you're doing it for the company.
Then you said you're doing it for the family.
Then you said you're doing it for the country!
You were actually doing it for yourself!
Why didn't you listen to me?
I warned that Meera to let go
but she wrote an entire article.
What did you say?
Meera what?
You?
A small leak sinks a great ship.
But I don't want to sink the ship.
I want to curb his limits.
I want to tell you the truth.
I sent that girl on the train.
But then I realised maybe Venkateshwar won't tell you the entire truth.
That's why I am here.
No one can stop my brother.
He's reached the country's treasury.
He wants to be a billionaire as soon as he can.
And he can do anything for it.
It doesn't make a difference to anyone.
No one can see what he's doing.
Maybe no one wants to see because their pockets are filled, except for you.
You're the only person who is not on his payroll.
That's why I came to you.
I had no intention of sending you to jail.
I only wanted to slow you down a little.
You were issuing cheques worth 500-700 crores.
I thought that you're not breaking any law.
Maybe you'll be fined, or be suspended for a couple of months.
I didn't know it will come to this.
I ruined everything.
You'll be fine.
I'll fix everything.
I won't let anything happen to you.
You don't look surprised.
You don't look worried.
What's the point of looking worried anymore?
Ms. Meera, you've done many breaking stories on me and earned fame.
But we had a partnership, didn't we?
Your source was from my own family, my own brother.
I settled that account with Viren.
I gave him information in exchange for information.
Then those books are closed.
Let's open new ones.
Which ones?
I want you to write my story.
But not small articles like you did earlier.
This time I want you to write an entire book.
Because Ms. Meera
nothing happens because of one man alone.
Stories are born out of circumstances
and not character.
If we had better laws, and a better system
then I would've never taken advantage of it.
That's not true.
If given a chance again
you'll find new loopholes and take advantage, Hemant.
No.
Not today.
Because India doesn't need it anymore.
If you take me back to 1988 again, then definitely.
I'll do it all over again.
And why do you think I'll write a book on a selfish man like you?
Selfish?
Ms. Meera, let me tell you another story.
One day I went to Apollo Bunder instead of Worli Sea Face for my morning walk.
Just like that.
Do you know what happened the next day?
The share prices of Apollo Tyres went up.
I've made many such good mistakes, Ms. Meera.
And the common man made a fortune.
Some other accidental tip.
So, I can invest my money as well.
No tips for free.
For that you need money.
Write this book, Ms. Meera
it will be a bestseller.
That's Hemant's Shah's prediction.
And it's never wrong.
'Hemant couldn't prove his allegations to the JPC.'
'The PM gets a clean chit.'
'Hemant Shah has quit the stock market and assured he'll never return.
'He's taken full responsibility for the scam'
'and Viren Shah has been acquitted.'
'Around 27 cases are pending against Hemant Shah.'
Five years.
1,825 days without me.
You're going to have a ball.
Why do you feel that way?
My feelings don't count anymore.
I never felt that Viren will make such a mistake.
And I never felt that...
Hari will betray me and become an approver.
I don't know what Viren and Hari did was right or wrong.
I don't know what the government did with you was right or wrong.
But I do know
that what you said to me in the Hanging Gardens, you did it.
Today many buildings in Mumbai
are touching the sky because of you.
You gave new hope to the people, to see a new world.
And they will never come out of it.
Forget about the people.
You just wanted a husband who owned an apartment, a car
and had a stable job. And look at this now.
Hemant...
Most of the people in this world have pre-written destinies.
But only few write their own destinies.
You're one of them.
You can fulfil those dreams when you come back.
Let's go, sir.
One day I heard that he died of a heart attack.
Was it a conspiracy?
'Was it a politically motivated conspiracy by some people to hide something?'
'Was it the biggest cover-up of this country?'
Maybe yes, maybe not.
The truth is Hemant Shah's life was a big controversy.
But 2020...
This world is very different.
Today, our country is in the hands of professional MBAs like you.
And it's more for relief if I'm being honest.
But before I go, I want to say that it wasn't always like this.
30 years ago, our country was on the verge of bankruptcy.
And 25 years ago, Hemant Shah reminded me of this in an auditorium.
I know you believe he's a scamster. But...
He wasn't a scamster on that day.
He was a hero to the people.
For the people sitting there, and those waiting outside for him.
Excuse me, ma'am.
What about you?
Was he a hero to you too?
Even 40 years after independence, development was nil.
That was a crime.
What Hemant Shah did was also a crime.
And as strange as it may sound, maybe we needed a crime like this.
To emerge from that crime.
And Hemant was the perfect candidate.
If he was a little less egoistic
if he knew how to tread slowly
then he could've survived for a longer time.
But he was a dreamer.
So it's important to tell his story, which I did today.
The face, which lit up on the screen
whether it belongs to a hero or a villain
you can make your assumptions by reading my book.
But there are no two opinions about one thing...
He was and always will be... the only Big Bull.
"My beloved's like a prayer of hope, maybe that's how God is..."
"You're like drops of water, giving me a fresh breath of air..."
"My beloved's like a prayer of hope, maybe that's how God is..."
"You're like drops of water, giving me a fresh breath of air..."
"On the verge of love my heart believes, this is a relation of generations..."
"In a city of turmoil..."
"You're the one I believe in..."
" With you, life feels worth living..."
"Without you, there's nothing..."
"Without you there's no living..."
"My beloved's like a prayer of hope, maybe that's how God is..."
"You're like drops of water, giving me a fresh breath of air..."
