Good morning.
Ma'am, did you call me?
Come in.
Mr. Sumit, I have received complaints from a few parents.
Their children have been behaving weirdly for the past couple of weeks.
The children are saying that it is their homework
from the music class.
Ma'am, what do you mean by they are behaving weirdly? What are they doing?
They are talking to themselves by looking in the mirror.
They are talking to non-living things.
When someone scolds them or tries to make them understand,
they start chanting a mantra which says something like jhugli jhugli.
By the way, I have heard something similar coming from your class as well.
No, ma'am. It's just a simple psychological trick
to reduce fear in them, ma'am.
I have made them believe that saying the charm
will make the ones lose their power
who are trying to scare or demotivate them. It's the placebo effect, ma'am.
In short, I am just supporting our school's motto, ma'am. Be brave.
- So... -Mr. Sumit, did you learn this psychology from someone?
Do you know of any schools that practising this?
No, ma'am. It's my personal invention.
From what I have learnt personally, you know.
Mr. Sumit, my kids are not guinea pigs
whom you are using for experimenting with your psychological inventions.
I think we hired you to teach music.
So, I request you to just stick to that.
Ma'am, I am sorry but dead people can't create music.
In fact, anything good for that matter.
But if we teach a child how to listen to their dreams
and how to take care of them and how to fight for them,
ma'am, whatever that child does after that,
it would be just pure and divine.
Whether it's music or Maths.
Sorry, ma'am, I am just being honest. I am really impressed with this thought.
Mr. Sumit, the problem these days is
that the teachers are very much influenced by the movies.
They think of themselves as Aamir Khan of Taare Zameen Par.
- Hey. - Hence, all this romanticized talk.
So, can I please request you to
stop trying to be a hero and just be a good music teacher instead?
Take this as a first and last warning.
Ma'am, you are right. I sometimes try to be a hero but
we all have got it wrong when we think about what being a hero means.
That will be all for now.
Sir, may I come in?
Sir, shall we start the activity of saying our dream out loud?
Principal ma'am scolded me today
as I am not teaching the students music.
So, let's learn a poem today.
The name of the poem is,
Who Is A Hero?
Uncle, maybe you don't even remember. This is the same car
in which my dad and brother
were going to return from your elder son's wedding.
But you had a problem that my dad might
puke on the exquisite seats of your precious car because he was drunk.
You sent them home in a scooty.
My brother won't ever return.
Uncle, everything
that humiliate my family and me,
I will burn them.
Uncle, I will burn you someday as well.
Hey.
I will buy you two beers. Make a nice video.
If I wasn't afraid of imaginary ghosts all my life,
God, would I have lived a life of fulfilment?
God,
would I have died in peace?
- You were too good. - Thank you.
Prashant.
It was beautiful.
Thank you.
Manan, are you leaving?
Her eyes suggest
that she won't mind if you make her wear the nuptial chain.
So,
I have seen the performances of four of you.
Before the rehearsals tomorrow,
I will announce my decision of who will play the main role.
- Guys, he did a great job. - Yes, it was beautiful.
- Too much. Bye. - Okay. Bye.
Anjali.
Hi.
How did you like the performance?
I told you.
It was amazing. No one was even close to your performance.
You were perfect.
Okay.
- Are you dating someone now? - Huh?
No. It's nothing.
Please let me know if you have any other feedback.
Okay.
By the way,
I am not dating anyone now.
Okay.
Yeah.
We...
Okay.
By the way,
we can meet.
Before or after
the rehearsals.
I am in.
Yes. Sure.
Cool.
- Okay. - Okay then.
- Bye. - Bye.
Hey, bro. How did it go?
- Shall we? - Let's go. I will tell you.
Did you speak to her?
I didn't give you the bottle just to hold it.
Keep sipping a little water.
You too should return early from the office today.
Someone should be at home if there is an emergency.
- Okay. - What is okay?
Don't you have rehearsals today?
You should attend your rehearsal and then return. There is no emergency.
- I am not going to have chemotherapy for the first time. -Please have water.
You too should do what you feel like.
God knows what kind of rehearsal they have
which can't be avoided even for a day. Even if someone dies.
The rehearsal can be avoided for a day.
I have let go of many other things as well. I am not making you count them.
I am saying it so that you don't say it again.
What did I say? Did I say something to him?
Do you see how he is talking to me?
Your job should be your priority right now.
Your mom's treatment is dependent on your salary.
You are telling your boss that you can't spare time for your work
and you are telling me that you won't spend time at home.
To hell with such rehearsal.
Is this acting sensibly?
- Keep drinking a little water. - If you shout one more time,
then I would get out of the car and come to the hospital in an auto.
Then you can keep drinking a little bit of water.
Listen.
Finish your rehearsal and then return.
I will come to see your play this time.
Your friends keep calling you an actor
but you never showed us your performance.
Just take care of your health. I will call you.
You won't call me. I will surely come this time.
You always used to say that you would call me
when you play the lead role in the play.
That you will call me when the film releases.
You are playing the lead role in the play now, right?
I will come this time.
It will happen in three weeks.
If you take care of your health properly,
- then I will take you. - Perfect.
You know, I have decided that I will wear a T-shirt in which
it will written in bold, Hero's Mother.
Tell me something. There must be a heroine if you are playing the hero.
- No. - There is no heroine.
What kind of story is this?
Mom, there are girls. There is no heroine.
And there are stories with a heroine but no hero.
Really? I thought you probably didn't call me
because you must be shy to perform a romantic scene
with a girl in front of your mom.
'What are you doing?'
Prince, my boy. Your laces are open.
And what did you Guruji say yesterday?
- He will tell us today. - Okay.
And you called me Prince again.
Did I say Prince?
- Did you try the trick of touching the feet? -It wasn't necessary.
It wasn't necessary. But you said that Guruji will announce the result today.
But, bro, the actor gets to know about it.
He would surely select me.
- What is she saying? - Who is saying what?
Bro, my younger brother, Prashant,
his pet name was Prince.
He was passionate about acting like you.
He too was naive like you.
He too used to cross his legs while talking to a girl.
Just like you.
- Nikhil. - Yes, sir.
Call Prashant.
- Actually, call everyone. - Okay, sir.
Prashant, Shishir sir is calling for you.
And he has asked everyone to be there.
So, that means you too.
Come here. Sit.
Sit.
I was asking Mrs. Kavita
that one of my employees
is a lead actor in a reputed theatre, then how come I got to know it so late?
- How was the practice yesterday? - I didn't go, sir.
I texted you.
I was coming to the office and my car broke down.
But actually, I want you to go regularly.
That you don't miss a single day's practice.
But to decide if you actually have the talent or not
so that we can allow you to go for your practice,
we have to see your performance.
Listen up, everyone. Prashant is going to perform something.
There will be a voting in the end. So, watch carefully.
- Sir. - Whenever you are ready.
Now?
Why?
You are a big hero from a big theatre.
And the hero should always be ready whenever someone asks.
To act, right?
Come on. Do it. Everyone is waiting.
So, I would like to perform a poem.
The name of which is, Who Is A Hero?
It was long ago in time.
But I still remember it.
I had a teacher.
He was silent in the class.
Then he lifted his head.
And asked everyone.
Kids,
- tell me. - Who is a hero?
The kids replied, those with silky hair.
And whose chest shines through the open buttons.
He walks in style. Every girl looks at him in awe.
Their movies are released in the theatres.
DDLJ, Gadar, Sholay
and Don.
Sir heard that and laughed. He said, no.
Think more.
Tell me, who is a hero?
The kids got confused.
That's how heroes are. Amitabh Bachchan. Shah Rukh Khan. Salman Khan.
Then a child said in the end with full confidence. Sir.
I will say it.
Sir, someone who wins the game no matter which game he plays.
No one can defeat him.
Someone with a biceps of 20 inches.
And the chest of 56 inches.
No alcohol can make them drunk.
He is so powerful and masculine that even a don is scared of him.
Sir heard that and laughed even more loudly.
Then he said,
no.
Think more and tell me. Who is...
- A hero? - Who is a hero?
The kids got confused now.
They used the definition already.
But they can't figure out who a hero is.
Sir, please tell us. We have a headache now.
Sir laughed a little.
And said,
I know a few heroes.
Who never won.
Forget about the movie theatres,
they were not even recognised in their neighbourhood.
How would they have silky hair?
They don't even fond of combs.
And their walk?
Their walk is so frail
that they might fall with the next step.
They never got respect from society.
They didn't even get a house,
friend or love from a girl.
I know a few heroes.
Who were destined to lose even before they could fight.
The kids replied, sir, how can this be a hero?
Sir asked, how can this be a hero?
He is a hero because...
- Why do we need a vote after this? - Too good, sir.
Congratulations.
You can go to your practice every day.
- Thank you, sir. - Kavita, put it in the mail officially.
Everyone else should go to the field.
- I got goosebumps. - It was just amazing.
It was a great performance. I loved it.
- Narrate the whole story later. It was left midway. -Sure.
It was truly amazing, bro.
- Prashant, I have sent you the mail. Meet me once you go through it. -Sure.
- Good day, bro. - That was just too good. I loved it.
It was splendid. Truly amazing, bro.
Your job should be your priority right now.
Your mom's treatment is dependent on your salary.
- I will let you know after the search. - Sir.
Let me get back and make a call. Okay?
Sir, can we talk for two minutes?
Prashant, actually, I had to talk to you as well.
So, the thing is that your replacement is Rajkumar.
You have 15 days for the complete handover.
And month end will be your last working day in office.
Sir.
Sir, I wanted to talk about termination.
Sir, I never got a warning to date.
Sir, I thought that everything got settled about
- whatever happened at the society the other day. -Prashant.
You are thinking that I fired you because
of the fuck up at the society?
Or because you went to your rehearsal yesterday?
Yes. That's the official reason I told HR about.
But in reality, why did I fire you?
You should think about that. And if you can't figure it out till the last day,
then I would tell you.
But the meeting for that will take place at 7 in the evening.
- Sir, but... - Don't forget the handover to Rajkumar.
Do you have two minutes?
Tell me, bro. What the fuck is this?
Brother, relax.
It's a lighter.
Maybe. Do you know what the problem is?
I have a real gun exactly like this one.
It has the same design. It weighs the same.
It is usually kept in the same place.
I have to check whether it's a gun or a lighter
every time I have to light a cigarette. By taking out the magazine.
I sometimes don't do it.
When my mood is bad,
I leave everything to chance.
It's fine if it's a lighter.
- It's also fine if it's a bullet. - Hey.
Do you want to make two crores in two days?
Is your mood fine today?
Did you check if it's a lighter or a gun?
Let's try and find out.
Hey, don't!
It's a lighter.
Brother, so, the scheme
is that a high-rise is being built at Golf Course Extension in Gurgaon.
Two towers. 20 floors.
4 flats per floor.
But the permission was only for 10 floors.
The builder paid the money in advance and took the approval.
As soon as the new officer came, he stopped the construction.
He asked them to pay a proper penalty.
And if they don't pay
the penalty in the next month, the construction will be stopped.
What does the builder say?
If they pay such a huge penalty,
there won't be any profits.
Hey, come to the point. Where would two crores come from?
The builder is looking for a big firm.
Who could sell as many remaining units as possible.
Before the news comes out about the construction being stopped.
Brother.
110 units are still pending out of 160 units.
Even if we sell 20 of them,
you will get 10% of the selling price.
And 10% of one unit worth one crore is 10 lacs.
And even if we sell 20 units,
brother, you will get two crores.
And what percentage will you get?
Only 5%.
Where were you for so many years?
I will tell you in your favourite language.
If you ever bring
such idiotic plan
to office,
I will fire you on the spot.
And there will be a police case as well.
Brother, I am talking about 15%.
Get the fuck out of my office!
I will introduce you to a couple of people after your rehearsal.
The salary could be a little less but they would find you a job.
You can take a break if you are not in the mood today, bro.
I have a meeting. I will attend that.
You told Shishir, didn't you?
About what we spoke about yesterday.
About how the client got a call?
Shall I tell you the truth?
Bro, I would have told him if it benefited me.
But it wasn't going to benefit me.
Benefit?
That scoundrel, Shishir is not benefiting from me.
As I am not lying to people
and selling them houses.
That's why.
Now, you have replaced me.
To benefit him.
The one who sold the wrong insurance
to mom was also concerned about his benefit.
And his boss.
My benefit.
My commission. My money. My everything.
What about the other?
No matter if the other person's life is ruined and even if he dies,
they should just continue benefiting from it.
Prince.
This is life, bro.
Everyone will look out for their benefit.
Bro, the lion will eat according to his appetite in the jungle.
He doesn't fucking care about how miserable the mother of the deer felt.
Humans left the jungle and came out of it a long time ago.
Here. Because something different is here.
In the villages and cities.
There is a certain way to achieve anything here.
Which is different from the jungle.
If it was a jungle, people would have gotten things by killing people here.
That's what is happening, Prince.
Bro, there is no need to kill someone as everything is available with money.
Bro, the place I come from is an artist's world.
Your money doesn't rule there.
Talent is the currency there.
The world of sales and business has polluted everything.
I would just focus on my art now.
And I would work at a place where a fraud like Shishir isn't there.
Bro, which world do you live in?
People would gobble you.
Do you think that you won't find Shishir or the insurance guy again?
You fucking fool.
Wherever you go, bro,
Mumbai, theatre, film, love, relatives,
you will find a new Shishir everywhere.
Talent is the currency.
A fucking writer wrote it in an AC room while scratching his balls.
Naive and cute boys and girls believed it.
Do you know what happens in reality?
In reality, the talented person is prepared to receive the trophy.
Then comes the one who is half as talented as him.
He humiliates the talented one badly.
And asks him to clear his path as he is going to receive the trophy.
He goes ahead and takes the trophy.
The talented one stands at the back.
He doesn't say anything or fight back.
Why?
Because that fucking fool tells himself that he is deserving.
Success will follow me.
He keeps standing there all his life, bro.
You think like that.
Because it's easy to snatch something.
And it's easier
to steal something.
It's difficult to become deserving.
Listen.
There is a price to pay for deceiving oneself as well.
It comes all at once.
And God settles all scores.
You are cute, bro.
Let's start the handover from tomorrow.
Hey.
It's Jimmy.
Bro, I am shit-scared here.
Your uncle is suspicious of me.
Look, if you want to call me in future,
then call me at Jatin's number or WhatsApp call me.
Your uncle is impossible.
He must be getting my calls recorded.
He is Mr. R Rao.
And this is his
phone number.
He chose a flat of 14 crore in Springfield Society.
Those flats are listed in your company.
The advance will come in a day or two.
Bro, before that,
pull the strings.
Uncle, I can do that.
But there is a problem.
Oh no. There are too many problems already. What happened now?
Uncle, whatever deals we are snatching from uncle,
they shouldn't be recorded under my company or my name.
And it's essential that someone else faces the client from my company.
Only then it's possible that uncle won't find out that I'm connected to all this.
And that's only
possible if my boss is a marital pimp.
So, is he not a marital pimp?
I assumed that he is.
But I am confused after having a conversation today.
Bro, one second.
Please keep teaching me as well. What does a marital pimp mean?
A big pimp.
Look, bro.
There are two ways to become big.
First, become a big broker.
- What does a broker mean? - A pimp.
Second, become a sex worker.
That means a sex worker of the highest order.
And who is a sex worker?
A prostitute.
So, just like every other pimp, Mr. Marital pimp's
job is to earn money while someone else gets fucked.
Like
a politician.
Big businessmen, high-class people, people on top.
But the sex worker
would earn money but he would get fucked himself.
A sex worker means the middle-class people,
lower-class, artists,
retailers.
So,
what will you become?
What do you mean by what he will become?
Bro, we have to become a big pimp.
Isn't that wrong? You earn the profits while someone else gets fucked.
Whatever the sex worker is doing,
he won't be guilty at least.
He would have his mental peace and self-respect.
But the big pimp would have the world.
So, to hell with mental peace.
And fuck self-respect.
Get it?
Hello, brother Shishir.
Yes.
Okay, brother.
Was that your boss?
He was saying that he is a little shy.
But he is a top-class pimp.
Bro, congratulations.
That's it. A little bit of commission should come to me in huge suitcases.
It will be amazing.
Look at this as well.
What if you don't get a job immediately?
Do you have an emergency plan in place?
I have some savings in my account.
The household expenses and mom's expenses
can be met for two to three months.
You don't just have to meet your expenses.
You had to plan properly and go to Mumbai.
I told you a thousand times to do financial planning.
If you get fired or fall sick is a part of the emergency planning as well.
Emergency planning is not savings.
Do you know who does savings?
My grandma.
You are more sensible than my grandma, right?
Come on. Take out your phone.
Let's book a consultation call now with the financial advisor.
Chauhan, let me first get a job.
I won't be able to invest anyway until I get a job.
The advisor won't just make you do investment planning.
Prashant, this is your lucky stock. Invest your money in it.
He would help you with complete financial planning.
He would just get your financial data in the first call.
About your investments, loans, insurance, assets and liabilities.
You would receive a financial score according to that like a blood report.
Then your advisor would explain a financial plan to you.
And then whatever deficiencies are identified in the blood report,
according to that, the doctor suggests supplements, exercises, etc.
Your advisor will ask you to follow three to four care action items.
My dear brother.
If you get the new job after a month or two or whenever,
you can start planning now.
So, I should book it on my phone?
Yes, sir. Give it to me. I will book it for you.
Hurry up. Give it to me.
Your crowning ceremony for playing
the main role will start once the class begins.
Right? Come on.
Is everyone here?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
So, let's start then.
Keeping in mind the auditions that took place yesterday,
I am going to declare who is going to do the main role.
You won't need this.
So nervous about the result today, bro.
I thought a lot about it last night and even this afternoon.
So,
keeping everything in mind,
I have decided that
the main role will be played
by Samarth.
- So, today, - Yes, man.
- we will start with scene number 3. - Who will play the main role?
I think everyone heard it.
No, Pandit Ji, we heard it.
But my performance was far better than his.
Prashant, I am the one to decide that.
As I said
that I need to take many things into consideration apart from talent.
No.
Pandit Ji.
I told you that I would come before time.
I would come at 5 if you say.
- I would come in the morning if you say. - Look,
Prashant, I thought a lot about my decision and it's final.
So, is that what you thought about!
This boy from reality show deserves this role more than me?
More than me, Pandit Ji?
Prashant, you can leave today's rehearsal.
We will talk when you calm down tomorrow.
Where is Ramesh? I asked for water a long time back.
Pandit Ji, I will tell him.
Come on.
Do you know what happens in reality?
In reality, the talented person is prepared to receive the trophy.
Then comes the one who is half as talented as him.
He humiliates the talented one badly.
And asks him to clear his path as he is going to receive the trophy.
And the talented one stands in a corner.
And the other one goes ahead and takes the trophy.
No one else should know in the office.
It should just be your regular builder client for them.
This is a big fraud.
When the news goes public,
there will surely be an investigation.
I will push the sales team in my own way.
And we won't sell 20 units.
We will sell 50 units.
Brother.
Cheers.
Let me buy you a drink. Make him a drink.
Brother,
I am thinking of meeting my dad today. So, I can't drink.
Are you scared of your dad?
Only my dad.
Brother, there is one more thing.
There
is a big dealer in Gurgaon.
His name is Telka Kukreja. He is my uncle.
I have an insider in his firm.
I get to know which client he is going to sell a property to beforehand.
Brother, I want to bring these deals to our company.
But if we want to play in the long run,
brother, I would need a salesman who could be the face of these deals.
We will create a fake, dummy salesman account and reflect the details there.
You can pick anyone from the company to be the face of the deal.
He will ask for a cut and that should go from your commission.
Both of you have to earn that from the client.
- Done. - Done.
And now,
I hope you won't fire me
and get me arrested.
I told you
that if you bring fraudulent proposals to me in the office,
then I would fire you.
But we are outside the office now.
And outside the office,
you become the big pimp.
What?
Tell me.
You don't remember me at all.
I can smell the chicken cooked by you.
Let me taste it at least.
Uncle Kapoor is here.
Let's do it some other day, not tonight.
I didn't elope with Uncle Kapoor's daughter.
I will also talk to him.
Okay!
- Give me bread at least. - It's not there.
I only made four of them. Two for Mr. Kapoor and two for me.
I can do with just one bread.
Son, go and get one for yourself.
I hope there won't be a shortage of chicken.
No.
I cooked extra. You can have it.
- Uncle, am I a fool? - What, son?
Am I a fool?
No, son.
You are our darling son. Why are you calling yourself a fool?
Uncle, my mom left me long back.
Then my younger brother passed away as well.
I only have my father left who knows the reason behind what I am doing.
Isn't it his duty to ask me
if everything is going fine?
Is your work going fine? Are you doing fine?
What does my dad tell me? Have chicken.
I cooked extra.
Have chicken if you want to or just go home.
I am leaving.
I just came to tell you
that I set uncle's car on fire.
The one he didn't allow brother and you to sit in.
Should I appreciate you?
I burnt down a car worth 12.5 lacs.
To exact revenge for your son and my brother.
So, yes. Appreciate me.
And feed me chicken and bread.
Your uncle is a fraud.
And you too have become a fraud to exact revenge on him.
What should I appreciate you for?
What should I say? That you did a great job.
Dad, I am at least doing something.
I am doing something at least.
I am not sitting home and drinking whisky with chicken.
I am at least exacting revenge for my brother's death and our humiliation.
I am at least doing something.
Who would appreciate me?
Who knows about this? The one I am doing it for.
And that's my father.
Do you know why you are doing all this?
You love money within.
The revenge and the story that you are narrating,
you can say that to yourself.
For earning money.
Is mom asleep?
You rascal.
Do you have any shame left, you scoundrel?
Your mom's treatment is on and your dad is struggling.
And you came home drunk.
She fought with me to not call you as your practice must be going on.
Is this your practice, you dog?
You should just die out of shame.
Who is it?
Mom.
Why did you get up and come here?
I felt like talking to you. So, I came here.
You could have asked me to come.
I was just going to come and see you. I thought that you must have slept.
How do you feel?
You wouldn't be feeling nice after getting chemotherapy.
Tell me how bad you are feeling.
Everything is fine.
You tell me. How is it going for you?
Everything is going well for me.
I am asking because nothing is going well.
Tell me honestly.
What shall I say?
Everything is fine, mom. Honestly.
You never invited me to your plays but you must be good at acting.
You are acting so well at home.
When you found out about my condition,
you were in Mumbai.
Your film was about to start.
I asked your dad multiple times not to tell you about it.
But he said, how can he not tell you as you are the only son?
Then what I feared happened.
You returned in two days.
And since that day
to date in 1.5 years,
for the first time,
you came to your room before seeing me.
There must be something.
Mom.
It's nothing. Honestly.
I don't say it to you.
But I feel very bad that you got stuck because of me.
What can I do? If there was a button,
then I would have switched it off and departed.
I would have set you free.
Do this. Let's go to your room.
You are intoxicated with the therapy. You are talking absurdly.
I am intoxicated.
Your dad was saying that someone else got intoxicated today.
I don't know Judo or Karate. I am not good with fancy words.
But it would have been wrong if I could not see.
If I knew the truth,
I wouldn't be able to tell a lie.
Who is that?
That's the hero.
I am not scared of the world making fun of me.
They can get mad at me and choose not to talk to me.
I am not scared of even dying.
Who is immortal anyway?
I am just scared
that I might get tired
and scared
and think about my comfort or what's easy
and pity myself with the thought that I am undeserving and unlucky
and get jealous
of someone else's success
and finally, give up on my dreams.
Who is that?
That's the hero.
And I swear
that I won't cry over my destiny even for a minute.
I won't waste even a second with wishful thinking.
I will take what's mine rightfully from my destiny.
God, how would I sleep peacefully
by snatching someone else's right?
I love living
like a poet.
And I also learnt that if I fight,
I would be attacked right on my chest.
Who is that?
That's the hero.
Hello?
Do you want to earn 10 lacs in a month?
I don't want to become immortal or a king or popular.
Keep your worldly malicious ways away from me.
And I don't want to be known as a hero.
- Who is that? - That's that hero.
That's the hero.
