Sir, I need to meet the editor.
It's very urgent, sir.

21
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,160
Sir, I have some confidential information.

22

So, which editor
would you like to meet?

23
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,240
Executive editor? City editor?
Sports editor? Business editor?

24
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,240
- Sir, any editor will do...
- Associate editor?

25
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,800
I don't have much time, Sir.

26

If it is wasted, my information
will turn stale.

27

Sir, maybe I can give it to you...

28

- You look like a senior editor yourself.
- Oh, no, no...

- It seems your news
is very important. - Yes, sir.

32
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,240
I think you should meet the business editor,
Mr. Kiran Ajgaonkar.

Laxman sir?

Kiran, someone is looking for you.

You could've asked a peon.

- Thank you, sir.

No, thank you, sir. There is
a huge problem at SBI, sir.

Sir, there is no SGL note either.

It's a big problem, sir.

SGL? PDO?

- What am I going to do with this sorry?

We've only run this story because we assumed
that the strike was getting over, right?

- Please be seated.

Mayank? I need you to go to BSE and get a
statement from Manu Mundra about the strike.

72
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,880
I need to know
what changed so suddenly.

73

Fine. Should I also talk to
a couple of my other sources there?

74
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:30,440
Yeah. But please don't start
gossiping there.

I need to file this ASAP, yeah?

respecting deadlines, yeah?

Yes. Deadlines must be respected.
Correct.

No. I mean, tell me why are you here?

Organise a cup of tea, please. - Tea? No.

So, I need to focus on that.

Ma'am, I'm Sharad Bellary

I just want to tell you that there's
something very fishy going on at SBI.

Five hundred crores.

113
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,080
Five hundred crores are missing
from the books of SBI.

114
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,840
Payments have been made
without any BRs.

115
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,680
- BR means...
- Bank receipts, I know.

116
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,160
What do you do at SBI?
Which department do you work in?

117
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,360
It's PR, ma'am. Public relations.

118
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,960
Then, how do you know this?

119
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,600
Ma'am, this has been going on
for a while now.

120

They are having
meetings upon meetings daily.

121

But things are out of control now.

122
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,520
Because we didn't even receive the SGL,
ma'am.

123
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,200
How will they show it in the books?
I mean... I'm so... I...

124
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,640
- SGL means...
- Subsidiary General Ledger, I know.

125
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,040
So, SBI has issued a payment
of 500 crores.

126
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:11,440
And the SGL and BRs due in exchange
haven't been received.

127
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,080
You do know
what you're saying, right?

128
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,840
Five hundred crore is such a huge amount,
even a calculator may shy away from it.

129
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,800
Yes, that's how big the fraud is.
Maybe even bigger than that.

130
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,800

00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,800
Jyoti, it's really very tasty.

166
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,440
Isn't the eggplant a bit burnt?

167
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:04,800
Only you seem to feel that.

168
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,400
Better watch out or she'll cook you next.
Make sure that you mash him well.

169
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,840
- Jyoti, come, eat with us.
- Yes.

170
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,120
It's alright, I will eat later.

171
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,600
- Come. We're done.
- Come on. I am done too.

172
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:18,960
Come, let's have some <i>paan</i>.

173
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,960
- I'll have a plain one...
- I know, <i>Pappa</i>.

174
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,880
- Without areca, right?
- Done.

175
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,240
The eggplant was really good, right?

176
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:33,960
How long will we live like this?

177
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:35,560
What do you mean?

178
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,080
I'm talking about the house.

179
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,720
It feels like a rush-hour train.

180
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,360
If this continues,
we'll soon be punching and elbowing each other.

181
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:46,720
<i>Bhai</i>, this difficulty is here to stay.

182
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,840
And staying here is difficult.
That's what I mean.

183
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,720
Look... take my advice...

184
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:57,280
Jyoti and you should find a small house
and shift.

185
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,480
- A separate house, nearby.
- What are you saying?

186
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,240
If we have to shift,
why don't we all shift together?

187
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,320
- Let's find a big house.
- Big house?

188
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,840
Do we have that much money?
Big house!

189
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,040
Money is our real problem.

190
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,440
Today, even the diamond-market
has lost its shine.

191
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,760
This diamond trading
will fetch us nothing.

192
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,240
It will.
Everything will be okay.

193
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,320
- Slowly, but surely.
- Slowly, my foot!

194
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,720
Everyone is busy doing something
or the other.

195
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,520
Even a snack-seller is buying cars...

196
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,400
...some are making a triple
profit in textiles...

197
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,160
Everyone's pockets are full.

198
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,160
Look at Jimesh. He has made so much money
in the share market.

199
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,320
<i>Bhai</i>, you can dabble a little
in the share market.

200
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,160
But we can't depend on that.

201
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,200
- It's too risky.
- What do you mean ‘risky'?

202
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,880
Jimesh has involved
his entire family in this business.

203
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,480
Even his mother-in-law.

204
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,840
Instead of counting her last days,
she's counting money.

205
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,280
<i>Bhai,</i> we're not
Jimesh's mother-in-law.

206
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,480
If something goes wrong, Shantilal
will kill us before Jimesh's mother-in-law dies.

207
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,080
It'll be the end of us.

208
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,640
Jimesh's mother-in-law, he says!

209
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,440
Think calmly.
I'm sure there is a way.

210
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,240
- Ashwin?
- Yes?

211
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,960
Listen to me.
You also get married.

212
00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:23,480
- What do you mean, get married?
- Why not?

213
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:24,840
Have you seen the size of our house?

214
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,520
I'm sure there is a way.

215
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,480
<i>Pappa</i>, what is she saying?

216
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,320
Where will my wife sleep?
On the ceiling?

217
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,200
[giggling]

218
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,920
Stop laughing. Go to sleep.

219
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,880
- Stay single, then.
- Okay.

220
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,640
- You're in a mood today?
- Shouldn't I be?

221
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,480
- Hey! Everyone's asleep.
- So?

222
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,560
<i>Pappa</i> will wake up!

223
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,080
It's a small house. It's risky.

224
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,320
Well, this house will not turn
into a bungalow overnight.

225
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,040
We will have to take the risk.

226
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,120
And anyway, risk is the spice of life.

227
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,480
Uncle, move!
Why don't you reduce this paunch!

228
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,800
I'm serious about the share market.

229
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,320
- So?
- If we do it right, we can make a lot of money.

230
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,600
Sure we can make money, but it's a risk.

231
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:32,560
Risk is the spice of life.

232
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,400
What?

233
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,520
Look... If you know anyone, introduce me.
I will dive into it.

234
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,600
Okay, but do you have the time?
Can you handle it?

235
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,560
We only have time to spend.

236
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,080
Or we spend ourselves waiting for the right time.

237
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,920
<i>Bhai</i>, these dialogues are great.

238
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,200
But it's not that easy.

239
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,880
- Give it a thought.
- Done.

240
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,280
- Look... you always...
- I've made up my mind.

241
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,880
That's enough.
Give me some sweet pickle.

242
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,880
Are you done?
Now let me eat in peace.

243
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:25,760
Have you worked anywhere before this?

244
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,400
I've done lots of jobs in my life.
I'm sure I can start as a jobber here.

245
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,600
- You won't understand it.
- Why not?

246
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,800
I understand business.
I'm just new to the market.

247
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,120
And for us Gujaratis,
business is greater than religion, right?

248
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,040
<i>Bhai</i>, you don't have to be
well-read to become a jobber.

249
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,080
Even those who quit after the fifth-grade
work as jobbers here.

250
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,560
I failed my fifth grade.
I mean, i took two attempts to clear.

251
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:49,440
Give me some <i>ghee</i>.

252
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,480
- Pick up the phone.
- Huh?

253
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,200
Pick the phone up.

254
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,640
25-50-37.

255
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,960
Listen carefully. I won't repeat.

256
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,560
One plate <i>bhindi</i>, one plate <i>gatta</i>...

257
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,560
...<i>rajwadi kadi</i>, <i>jain khichdi</i>,
two <i>rotis</i>.

258
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,920
Two <i>bhakri</i>, two <i>papad</i>,
one roasted, one fried. And <i>raita</i>.

259
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,480
Also, an onion-tomato salad.

260
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:21,680
Hello, yes, take an order.

261
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,800
One plate <i>bhindi</i>, one plate <i>gatta</i>,
<i>rajwadi kadi</i>...

262
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,160
...<i>jain khichdi</i>, two rotis.

263
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,400
Two <i>bhakri</i>, two <i>papad</i>,
one roasted, one fried.

264
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,000
And... an onion-tomato salad.

265
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,160
- And...
- <i>Raita</i>.

266
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,120
And <i>raita</i>.

267
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:39,760
Cancel it.

268
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,120
I'm full.

269
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,240
Okay, cancel the order.

270
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,800
Uh... in the hurry... I forgot <i>raita</i>...

271
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,240
So, what should we do?

272
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,440
Hire me, I'm like your son.

273
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,400
Tomorrow 9 am.
Bhushan will take you to the ring.

274
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,840
- Who's Bhushan?
- Our old jobber.

275
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,040
He knows the market very well.

276
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,920
Let's see, if the door to your destiny
opens in the market tomorrow.

277
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,160
- Black Cobra.
- Huh?

278
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,720
The one you're staring at.

279
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,880
His name is Manu Mundra.

280
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,160
But in the market, he's known as
Black Cobra.

281
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,640
He's the biggest pessimist in the market.

282
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,720
Pessimist?

283
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,600
When the market is moving up,
he pulls it back down.

284
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:06,080
The lower the market falls,
the higher Manu Mundra's profits.

285
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,880
- So, he's a Bear.
- Yes, he's a Bear.

286
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,640
- And you are?
- Bhushan Bhatt.

287
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:19,880
- Harshad Mehta.
- I know, Harshad Shantilal Mehta.

288
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,800
Ambalal <i>Saheb</i> has sent me.

289
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,080
I'm his old jobber.
Here, wear this.

290
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,240
From now on, this will be your identity
in the market. Okay?

291
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:31,800
Come on.

292
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:35,880
[car honks]

293
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,240
Park it in the back lot. Be careful.

294
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,880
Pranav Sheth!

295
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:46,080
You will kill us here
like you do in the market?

296
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,080
If you come in my way,
I will have to run you over, Bhushan darling!

297
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,680
Pranav <i>Bhai</i>, got any tips?
We have a rookie here.

298
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:54,640
Hello.

299
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,960
I don't give tips for free
even to my own father.

300
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,760
Get it? Silly jobber!

301
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,520
He's also one of a kind. Pranav Sheth.

302
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,840
He has played a big game
in a short period of time.

303
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,800
He is an optimist.

304
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:14,880
He is one of those who
push the market upwards.

305
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,160
- You mean, he's a Bull.
- Yes, Bull.

306
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,960
Do you know why these pessimists
and optimists are called Bears and Bulls?

307
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,600
Tell me?

308
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,200
A bear always hits
it's prey downwards.

309
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,880
And a bull always tosses its prey
upwards with its horns.

310
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,120
Seems you've read some English books.
Homework, is it? Good.

311
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,360
But remember.
This is not America's Wall Street.

312
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,360
This is Bombay's Dalal Street.

313
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,480
And this here, is a betting ground.

314
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:45,680
It doesn't matter if the bear hits you
downwards or the bull tosses you upwards.

315
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,720
Either way, you will be knocked out.

316
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,280
So, don't be over smart.
Okay? Let's go.

317
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:02,960
[Bhushan] 'You will remember
the signs, right?'

318
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,280
This means the customer wants to sell
and this means he wants to buy.

319
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,560
Use your fingers to convey
the quantity and the price. Okay?

320
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,920
Do you remember what I taught you?
25 paise, 50 paise, 12, 12.5...

321
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,160
...27.5, 5, 500.
It could also be 5,000.

322
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,320
- And remember... Listen!
- Huh?

323
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,640
If you don't understand something,
ask me.

324
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,200
If you don't ask, you won't learn.

325
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,280
Don't think you're an expert
on your first day.

326
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:28,920
Okay? Come.

327
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,680
- That's 25.
- No... I've to go to the toilet.

328
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,040
You can hold it for two hours! Let's go!

329
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:41,640
If you see a crowded spot,
consider that's our area.

330
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,000
And that's where you will stay.

331
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,800
And the area with a small crowd,
assume that a slum...

332
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:50,480
...only shillings and pennies...
we don't do business there.

333
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,320
Why?

334
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,960
Because that's where
the penny stock jobbers operate.

335
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,240
Small shares sold at cheap prices.

336
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,720
Always stay away from small change.

337
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,800
Because we deal only in
high-value stocks.

338
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,040
It's a game of millions.

339
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:08,560
So keep your eyes, ears
and mind wide open.

340
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,080
Okay, tell me something.
What's our national sport?

341
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,160
- Cricket.
- Hey! It's hockey.

342
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,840
Oh yes, hockey.

343
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,040
This is just like hockey.

344
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,320
At the sound of the bell,
starts the jobber's hell.

345
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,680
And at the last bell,
well... game over.

346
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:26,040
During this, the one who strikes
the most goals, wins.

347
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,760
[Bhushan] 'So concentrate, my champion.'

348
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,920
[crowd screaming]

349
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,440
Hey! What are you grinning at?

350
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,080
This is not a movie!

351
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,080
If you don't strike deals...

352
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:09,040
...your first day will be your last!

353
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,080
Come on, get to work!

354
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,080
550... 500...

355
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:20,760
[loudspeaker announcement]

356
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,320
[Ambalal] 'What an auspicious beginning!'

357
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,760
You've started with a mess!
<i>Vaandha</i>! Do you understand?

358
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,400
Tell him what <i>vaandha</i> means.

359
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,000
That means... you've sold stocks
worth 25,000.

360
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,720
But the dealer says he has only bought
stocks worth 23,000.

361
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,320
- So this difference of 2,000...
- ...That's a loss!

362
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,640
Do you understand loss?
Who will cover it?

363
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,760
<i>Saheb</i>, I had told him to keep his
eyes, ears, and mind wide open.

364
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,400
See... It was so crowded, so noisy...

365
00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:20,120
The ring felt like a fish market.

366
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,600
Things were happening so fast.
I must have made a mistake.

367
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,360
You're right.
You have made a mistake.

368
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,480
If you can't even calculate...
leave the ring.

369
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,520
Look, I agree I've made a mistake.

370
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,560
And as far as the loss goes,
you can deduct that from my salary.

371
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:39,600
"Deduct from my salary", he says!

372
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,360
Make him understand...
...no profit means no salary.

373
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:48,200
I will surely make profit.
Give me one more chance.

374
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,120
Giving you a chance means
taking a risk, which I can't afford.

375
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,520
Not taking risks, is the biggest risk
in the market.

376
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,040
If nothing, the market has taught me
this in one day.

377
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,840
Do you think…

378
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:09,640
…Ambalal <i>saheb</i> has done you a favour
by giving you another chance?

379
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,360
I've known him for years.
He's a master of his game.

380
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,760
Remember one thing. If it doesn't serve his purpose,
he will even give up on God.

381
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,360
Your 2,000 rupee loss
makes no difference to him.

382
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,200
You've sold stocks worth
25,000 on your very first day.

383
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,440
Do you think he'd let you go
so easily? Huh?

384
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,200
You just have to focus
and hit goal after goal. That's it.

385
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,680
[Bhushan] 'Don't worry. Have some tea.'

386
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,880
[Sucheta] <i>'Harshad had only one thing
on his mind now.'</i>

387
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,120
<i>'The BSE ring'.</i>

388
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,040
<i>'And once he got back into the ring...'</i>

389
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,240
<i>'...within a year, he became one of
the best jobbers in the business.'</i>

390
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,480
Excuse me! Hey! Listen.

391
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,960
- How much for Premier Auto?
- 32.5-35.

392
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,440
For what quantity is it valid?

393
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,400
- Five hundred.
- Fine, give me 500.

394
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,400
Five hundred for 35.

395
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,000
Can you give me 500 more
for the same value?

396
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,960
- 35-37.5.
- Okay, fine. Give me 500.

397
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,160
How much for another 1,000 shares?

398
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:52,040
- 37.5-40.
- That's quite high!

399
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,920
- Okay, I'll buy 1,000.
- Take it.

400
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,400
- Can you give me 1,000 more?
- I'm done.

401
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,080
Come on, be brave!
Sell me some more.

402
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,880
I'm out of shares!
Go to the bigger guys.

403
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,600
They're all out... Hey...

404
00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:14,280
What are you doing?

405
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:15,960
PREMIERE AUTO WILL INCREASE
CAR PRICES SHORTLY

406
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,640
I understand now why shares
of Premier Auto...

407
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,400
...have been selling like hotcakes
for the last few days.

408
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:21,800
Look at this.

409
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,320
Premier is hiking the prices
of its cars.

410
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,760
Someone must've
leaked this information.

411
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,920
It's the people with such information
who make tons of money.

412
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,040
This is called insider trading.

413
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:39,880
It's dealt with strictly, outside India.

414
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:40,960
Just wait and watch.

415
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,160
Premier Auto will be
in high demand today.

416
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,640
If the price surges,
we'll incur a huge loss.

417
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:51,200
We can't work like this.

418
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,480
We must gather such
insider information too.

419
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,640
Have you lost your mind?

420
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,120
This is a rich man's game.
We can't play it.

421
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,680
Don't start with games again!

422
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,400
You keep turning the market into
a game of hockey... a wrestling pit... a boxing ring...

423
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,880
And that's our problem.
We never play the real game.

424
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,440
We only watch the rich at play,
and cheer for them.

425
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,520
- Why don't we enter the playground?
- Huh?

426
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,400
[Harshad] 'Even if as the 12th man,
let's enter the playground this time.'

427
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,960
'Let's make contacts at a small level,
among the employees...'

428
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,640
'...like workers, watchmen,
peons, union workers...'

429
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,720
'If we look hard, I'm sure we'll find someone
who knows the details of the company's decisions.'

430
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,440
[Factory Workers] 'Fulfil our demands...'

431
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,480
'Fulfil our demands...'

432
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,600
What's this protest about, brother?

433
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,120
Same as always...

434
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,760
'Fulfil our demands...'

435
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:03,840
Keep going.

436
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,080
Who's this doctor <i>saheb</i>?

437
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,640
Doctor <i>saheb</i>, is Dr. Dada Satam.

438
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,200
He's a doctor by profession but he's
also the leader of all these unions.

439
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,120
All final decisions are taken by him.

440
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,800
Yes, tell me. What's the problem?

441
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,040
[in Marathi] Doctor, what can I say?

442
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,720
[in Marathi] I want lots of trouble.

443
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,360
Don't speak in wrong Marathi.
I know Hindi very well.

444
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,720
- Tell me.
- Oh, then I don't have any problem.

445
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,080
The market has a problem.
The market is really in a problem.

446
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,360
All day, people screaming nonstop.

447
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,760
Sometimes the price is up,
sometimes it's down.

448
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,720
Sometimes I feel my head will
explode like a football.

449
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,120
And of course, there's the heartbreak too.

450
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,240
Are you here to pass time?

451
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,600
No, it isn't that, doctor <i>saheb</i>.

452
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,400
I'm Harshad Mehta.
I work in the share market.

453
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:11,120
So?

454
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,560
So... the thing is, the relationship
between the share market...

455
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,360
...and union workers is like a woman's
relationship with her mother-in-law.

456
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,040
Look... if the daughter-in-law does something good...

457
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,120
...her mother-in-law is happy.
The value goes up.

458
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,120
If she stops doing chores,
mother-in-law gets angry and the value goes down.

459
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,680
- And if she does something new...
- Get up.

460
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,320
- What?
- Get up and get lost.

461
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,240
- Get out!
- Doctor...

462
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,520
Your heartbreak is giving me a headache.
Get out.

463
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,800
- Hey, send in the next. Go.
- Wait a minute.

464
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,040
Doctor, listen to me.

465
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,800
What I'm trying to say is,
the share price of the company increases...

466
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,800
- ...when the production increases.
- Yes, so?

467
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,640
So, the thing is Doctor...
Premier has raised the price of its cars today.

468
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,360
But the price and demand for its shares
has been increasing over the last seven days.

469
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,760
Why? What do you think?

470
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,600
Who was behind this?
And who do you think benefitted?

471
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,120
Did it help the worker?
Did it benefit you?

472
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,720
Just think. Nobody benefitted.

473
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,200
I'm here to only discuss benefit
for the workers.

474
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,800
I just want to know what's
going on in the factory.

475
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:25,960
I mean, daily production details.

476
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,080
Details regarding the increase in production...
impending strikes... that's it.

477
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,440
Look, the market can be made to react
with this insider information.

478
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,440
And I'll give you a part of the profit
that I make from this.

479
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,120
I mean, it's for your labourers.
It'll go towards their fund.

480
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,880
[Ashwin] 'Do you know what sort
of man this Dada Satam is?'

481
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,640
I don't think he'll agree
to what you've proposed.

482
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,760
When it strikes his mind,
my phone will ring.

483
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,680
I've given him my number.

484
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,320
Look, everything has a price
and we have to pay this price.

485
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,080
Hey, give me chopped salad.

486
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,680
Listen to me... why are you getting
into insider trading?

487
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:08,880
If anything goes wrong...

488
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,880
...then people like Ambalal and Dada Satam
will chop you into a salad.

489
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,840
Problems and hacks,
sweets and snacks...

490
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,880
...nobody can take these
away from a Gujarati.

491
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,400
You are good at dialogues.
But it's risky.

492
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:23,760
Risk is the spice of life.

493
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,480
- [Sucheta] <i>'Whenever Harshad got inside information
from any company...'</i> - Hello?

494
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,360
<i>'...he would target their stocks.'</i>

495
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:31,440
How much for Premier Auto?

496
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:32,680
37.5-40.

497
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,480
He's giving it for 36-38.5.

498
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:35,560
- Then go and buy it from him!
- Get lost.

499
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,440
[Sucheta] <i>'If the information was negative,
he would offer those stocks at a low price.'</i>

500
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,080
<i>'The moment the news would come out,
the stock prices would drop further.'</i>

501
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,560
<i>'And Harshad would buy them back.'</i>

502
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,360
<i>'Similarly, if he received
positive information...'</i>

503
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,440
<i>'...he would corner those stocks...'</i>

504
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,880
<i>'...when the news would come out,
the stock prices would surge...'</i>

505
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,080
<i>'...and Harshad would sell them.'</i>

506
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,440
They're on strike, the price has dropped.

507
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,600
Buy 1000 shares from me, please.

508
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:56,520
Done.

509
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,120
[Sucheta] <i>'Irrespective of gain
or loss for the company...'</i>

510
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,080
<i>'Harshad was minting profits.'</i>

511
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,440
<i>'Sometimes as a Bear,
and mostly as a Bull.'</i>

512
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,320

insider trading with various companies.'</i>

513

<i>'Shree Synthetics, National Rayon,
Great Eastern Shipping...'</i>

514
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,440
<i>'...and the list went on.'</i>

515
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,680
<i>'And Harshad's profits kept growing.'</i>

516
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,560
Harshad, I'm thinking of visiting
my village this weekend.

517
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,240
We've made a lot of profit this time.

518
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,640
This is not profit, it's called commission.

519
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,440
- Profit goes to the Lala.
- Lala?

520
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,200
- Your boss.
- Oh, Ambalal <i>Saheb</i>.

521
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,480
Now, the name, the clients and profit,
all will be mine.

522
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,120
It's time to open my own
trading account.

523
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:55,920
And what about this job?

524
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,240
Do you think I was here to do a job?

525
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:00,920
I was here to learn.

526
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:02,720
I've learnt enough.

527
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,920
I've already spoken to Suresh <i>Bhai</i>.

528
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:07,680
Suresh Nandlal Shah.

529
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,320
My trading account will be open
in a few days.

530
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,200
-[Harshad] 'Did you see that?'
- What?

531
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,200
Special fabric from Patan.

532
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,280
Bhushan <i>bhai</i>'s wife has sent it.

533
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,000
What's up, Mr. Mehta?
You seem very happy today.

534
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:31,240
I've quit my job.

535
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,040
And you're happy about it?!

536
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,040
- I'm starting something of my own.
- What does that mean?

537
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,280
That means we're going to prosper.

538
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,600
I'm not a jobber anymore.
I've opened my own trading account.

539
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,880
I get that.
But what's the difference?

540
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,880
It's very different.
Now all the money will be ours.

541
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:54,880
What are you saying?
Tell me everything.

542
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,880
A wife must know
what her husband does.

543
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,600
You mean you want to tell
your parents?

544
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,320
Tell them Harshad's family
is going to prosper.

545
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,400
Okay, don't tell me.

546
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:09,920
So, if I tell you,
will you understand?

547
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:11,760
You can at least try.

548
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,280
Come.

549
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:17,960
Come here. Sit.

550
00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:22,960
Look. A jobber's work
is like a slow train.

551
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,880
- A slow train stops at every station, right?
- Yes.

552
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,760
Starts at the green signal
and stops at the red signal.

553
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,200
Exactly like that...

554
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,760
...a jobber just follows orders.

555
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,760
The broker says buy, and you buy.
The broker says sell, and you sell.

556
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,360
And what do we get
after performing in this circus?

557
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:42,760
Nothing but a <i>vaandha</i>.

558
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,400
The boss and the broker
make all the profit.

559
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,880
When we have our own trading account
watch how our life changes.

560
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,960
The slow train
will turn into The Gujarat Express.

561
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,560
We will invest our own money.

562
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,960
We will take a position in the market,
then we will square it off ourselves.

563
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,120
- Did you understand?
- Of course.

564
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,480
A little bit.

565
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,080
But if you had explained this lovingly
I would have understood it better.

566
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:20,800
Is this much love enough?

567
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,440
- Where did this come from?
- It came from this decision.

568
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,240
It's beautiful, isn't it?

569
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,480
[murmur]

570
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,400
Who celebrates on quitting a job?

571
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:46,800
I don't understand it.

572
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:48,800
<i>Pappa</i>, what don't you
understand in the menu?

573
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,240
Not the menu. I don't understand you.

574
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,320
Really? I'm so simple!

575
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:55,840
What are you saying?

576
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,120
Ignore him. You place the order.

577
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,440
- Here...
- What I don't understand is...

578
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,280
...you have quit a well-paying job,
and you're wasting money here?

579
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:05,960
Have you won a lottery?

580
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,240
<i>Pappa</i>, this is bigger than a lottery.

581
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,440
We've opened
our own trading account.

582
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,840
- What do you mean "we"?
- We. Harshad and I.

583
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,480
Even I've decided to quit my job
before marriage.

584
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,880
What is happening?
Are we buying soap? Buy one, get one free!

585
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:31,520
You've both quit your jobs
and nobody's told me?!

586
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:33,960
Can someone explain
what's happening in this family?

587
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:35,680
What do you want to know?

588
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,480
We use our brains
to fill other pockets.

589
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,080
How long will we keep doing this?

590
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,360
If we are working hard
and applying our brains...

591
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:44,960
...we should be the ones
getting the profit, right?

592
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,840
Son, if the profit is yours,
the loss will be yours too.

593
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,320
Ask me, I have the experience.

594
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,080
Even the textile market can't be trusted...

595
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:54,680
...and he is talking about
the share market.

596
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,680
Order something sweet for him...

597
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,600
...so that he utters something sweet.

598
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:01,320
Such bitter words!

599
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:07,200
They're on to something good.
If you can't wish them luck then...

600
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:09,080
Wishing luck doesn't bring profit
in a business.

601
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,440
If I say this restaurant is good,
will I get free food?

602
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,560
Hey... Waiter. Excuse me, please.

603
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,840
Your restaurant is the best.
Very good. Number one.

604
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,760
Now that I've praised your restaurant so much,
will I get to eat here for free?

605
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,880
<i>Bhai</i>, come, let's go home.

606
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,120
- No... - Let's have dinner at home.
- Ignore him...

607
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,640
- He's ruined the mood.
- That's correct!

608
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,760
Save the money, you will need it.

609
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,800
What are you saying?
Place the order.

610
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,520
- Sir, can I take your order?
- Sure, take it.

611
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,960
A plate of wisdom,
a plate of smartness...

612
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:40,400
...and some responsibility.

613
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,720
- Do you serve those?
- That's not on the menu.

614
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,320
Then take it from her.
She has plenty.

615
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,360
- Yes, I do.
- Wait a minute...

616
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,320
- Come here.
- Yes. Here, take this.

617
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,000
- 5 rotis...
- One <i>khichdi</i> for me.

618
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,400
[Harshad] 'Yes,
get some hot <i>khichdi</i> for him.'

619
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:10,520
I knew you'd be the first one to
leave this place. I was right, wasn't I?

620
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,760
Who knew Ashwin would really get married?

621
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,480
This house is too small now.

622
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,720
We've found a big house
in Kandivali for one and a half lakh rupees.

623
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,840
We've bought it,
keeping the future in mind.

624
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,640
You always think about the future.

625
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:28,960
So, no more cricket and <i>Dandiya</i>?

626
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,600
Hey! I'm just changing homes
not friends.

627
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,960
I'll come back to play <i>Dandiya</i>
and bowl you a googly.

628
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,480
Will you have the time?

629
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,200
If you have time, come to my place
to learn about the share market.

630
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,200
There you go again.
I don't understand shares.

631
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:44,560
Why not? You're the first Gujarati
who hesitates to invest.

632
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:46,480
Everything is risky.

633
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,680
Once you learn, you can earn
your annual income in a month.

634
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,560
- That's not possible.
- It is possible.

635
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:54,680
Come home sometime.

636
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,880
- I'll show you around and teach you about the share market.
- See you! Bye-bye.

637
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,760
- Bye.
- Come on, let's go.

638
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,080
Come on.

639
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,720
- Tea.
- Give him some.

640
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,120
He's newly married. Pamper
him for a year at least.

641
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,400
<i>Bhabhi</i>, go, take rest.
This is your honeymoon period.

642
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,240
Mr. Oversmart! Mind your own business.

643
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:30,480
You both go on please.

644
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,160
Anwar Pharma?
Which company is this?

645
00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:40,800
It's Alwar Pharma.

646
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,040
- <i>Bhabhi</i>, get him spectacles!
- Why are you investing in this company?

647
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:49,640
Did you get a tip?

648
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,360
No, but we have to create a tip
and spread that tip across the market.

649
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,200
<i>Bhai</i>, this is like peanuts.
What tip is this stock worth?

650
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,280
- The share price is only five rupees.
- Exactly.

651
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,280
Only five rupees. If we buy it
in bulk, the value will increase automatically.

652
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:10,760
And if we spread a rumour about it,
the hungry dealers will act like a flock of sheep.

653
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,200
At the right time, we'll dump the
shares and book a healthy profit.

654
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,240
It sounds easy
but it's not practical.

655
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,200
I know.

656
00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:26,560
Look, we have enough money
to buy only 20,000 shares.

657
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,080
- Yes.
- If we get money to buy another 20,000...

658
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,320
...it'll be a feast for us!

659
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,040
Money for 20,000 more?
Who will give us the money?

660
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,520
Nobody in the market
has lost their mind like you.

661
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,200
- Anwar Pharma.
- It's Alwar Pharma!

662
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:49,280
Pranav <i>Bhai</i>.

663
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,400
I'm Harshad Mehta.
I'm a broker.

664
00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:09,720
- So?
- I need to talk to you. Just 5 minutes.

665
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,120
Not now. I'm not in the mood.

666
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,160
Anyway, I can't smell anything.

667
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:36,440
Hello, Pranav <i>Bhai</i>.

668
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,960
- Smoking is not allowed here.
- I'm Harshad. We met yesterday?

669
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,360
- Yeah, so?
- Can we talk for five minutes?

670
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:46,800
See, if you can smell something.

671
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,040
You asked for five minutes,
I'll answer in a second.

672
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,080
Not interested.

673
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:53,080
- Pranav <i>Bhai</i>, listen to me.
- What can you tell me? Huh?

674
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,800
I can smell cash.
Notes attracts notes. And pennies attract pennies.

675
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,400
Do you think my clients are so small
that they'll deal in pennies?

676
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:02,400
Tell me something, Pranav <i>Bhai</i>.

677
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,680
Which is the most counterfeited
currency denomination in India?

678
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,960
- The 100 rupee note.
- No. Not the notes, it's the coins.

679
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,640
25 paise, 50 paise, one rupee coins.

680
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,240
Everyone focuses on the notes,
no one looks at the coins.

681
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,560
Similarly, nobody looks at
the penny stocks.

682
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,040
They're very easy to operate.

683
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,400
And if we operate them properly,
profit is guaranteed.

684
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,560
Operate? You want to operate stocks?

685
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,280
Operating stocks is illegal.
You will end up in jail, get it?

686
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,680
Pranav <i>Bhai</i>,
just like you can smell currency notes...

687
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,160
...I hear the sound of wealth
in these jingling pennies.

688
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,120
Just give it a try.

689
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:33,880
Try?

690
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:35,840
Do one thing.

691
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,440
Take all of this and try it yourself.

692
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,960
I don't want money.
Keep this.

693
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:45,840
Let's do it together.

694
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:47,600
Bloody hell!

695
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,040
In five minutes, you've gotten to
"Let's do it together"!?

696
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,080
What do you want to do?

697
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,520
Come to the ring today.
You'll see Alwar Pharma on the board.

698
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:58,920
Alwar Pharma?

699
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,720
Harshad <i>Bhai</i> has
some inside information.

700
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:03,960
Let's see what happens today.

701
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,160
If Harshad <i>Bhai</i> is saying
then it must be definitely true.

702
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,240
- Then buy some for me too.
- Okay.

703
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:25,240
Listen, Harshad <i>Bhai</i> has a tip.
Alwar Pharma is going to surge...

704
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:45,240
It's fine even if it crosses the limit
by 25 or 30 per cent, get it?

705
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:46,640
Come on, go. Quick!

706
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,160
<i>Bhai</i>, you're sure this will work, right?

707
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,560
- Nothing will go wrong?
- Don't worry. Nothing will go wrong.

708
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,320
How are you so sure it won't go wrong?

709
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:54,720
This is the first time
we're doing this.

710
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,160
It won't be the last time,
trust me. Come.

711
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:04,960
[Man1] 'Asian Cables 36.15, 39.20.'

712
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,640
'Ceat 107.68, 110.22'

713
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:16,040
'Crompton Greaves 91.38, 94.24'

714
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:21,840
'Tata Steel 234.12, 237.23.'

715
00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:26,520
'Alwar Pharma 17.20, 20.'

716
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,240
Do you know who always wins?

717
00:45:43,720 --> 00:45:45,200
The fastest one.

718
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,920
History is witness. The cheetah always wins.

719
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,440
Everyone bids on the horse.

720
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,200
But the horse only runs.
Cheetah is the fastest.

721
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:57,960
You were the cheetah
in the ring today.

722
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,360
I have two more stocks in mind.

723
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,360
Blowcast... and India Gears.

724
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,080
Shall we go 50-50?

725
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:07,240
Done.

726
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,480
That's not possible.
No company will shut down.

727
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,080
[Man2] 'Oh, Harshad!'

728
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:32,720
'Harshad <i>Bhai</i>!'

729
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,200
Harshad <i>Bhai</i>.

730
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,800
Wait. You've bought a new car!
Great!

731
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,400
- You're paying for our tea today.
- Yes.

732
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,920
I pay for your tea every day.

733
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,120
Forget tea.
Tell me what to buy today?

734
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,440
Buy any Tata share.

735
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:51,360
Don't think so much.
It's an old company.

736
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:52,760
Sooner or later, it is sure
to give you a profit.

737
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,880
You're investing in new companies
and buying cars...

738
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,720
- ...and telling us to invest in old ones?
- That's true, Harshad <i>Bhai</i>.

739
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,360
Fine, invest in the new ones like me.

740
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,880
- But if you face a loss, it's on you. Okay?
- No! That's not fair.

741
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,200
Brother, behind a large profit,
is also a large risk.

742
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,400
If like me, you too love taking risks,
then take the plunge.

743
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:12,960
You'll die or you'll fly.

744
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:15,720
That's how new companies work.

745
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:20,680
- 'The market has crashed...'
- Once it falls...

746
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,400
'The market has crashed...'

747
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,720
[crowd screaming]

748
00:47:37,240 --> 00:47:40,320
Harshad, we've lost 10 lakhs!

749
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,600
Someone changed the game
in just half an hour.

750
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:47,800
Someone has dumped 3.5 lakh
Reliance shares in the market.

751
00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:51,280
Who did this?
Is it Manu <i>Bhai</i>?

752
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,000
There is also heavy selling in Telco and Tisco.

753
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:58,960
It's an eight to ten percent crash,
<i>Bhai</i>.

754
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,160
People are saying that Calcutta Bears
have done this.

755
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,760
- Someone named Ajay Makadia...
- Ajay Kedia!

756
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,400
Whoever the hell he is,
we're finished, <i>Bhai!</i>

757
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:11,440
Everything's over.

758
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,280
Ten lakh rupees, <i>Bhai</i>.

759
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,720
[Sucheta] <i>'That day, it seemed
as if Harshad's inning is over.'</i>

760
00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:46,760
<i>'But the game had not even begun yet.'</i>

761
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,520
<i>'The end of his story,
was still a decade away.'</i>

762
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,440
-[DT] <i>'Hello?'</i>
-[Sucheta] <i>'Yeah, Sucheta here.'</i>

763
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,200
<i>'Listen we need to catch up
very urgently.'</i>

764
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,160
<i>'The source is right in front of me...'</i>

765
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,640
<i>'...and he's telling me that Harshad might be
in serious trouble with SBI.'</i>

766
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,720
<i>'I just need you to explain
a few technicalities to me, can we meet?'</i>

767
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:06,560
-[DT] <i>'Yeah, sure.'</i>
-[Sucheta] <i>'Thank you, I'll see you.'</i>

768
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,240
Where is the man
who was sitting here?

769
00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:13,680
I brought tea for him.
I don't know where he's gone.

770
00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:14,840
Oh, no!
