Hi Dance Rani.
It's your baby, Lova Lova.
How can you be Lova Lova?
Yes, big girl!
If you really are Lova Lova, then why didn't you put your real pic?
Why? Did you not like me?
I get it, you are a little confused. Okay, I'll explain you.
Tell me who am I?
Lova Lova.
-Darkie, who am I? -Darkie!
It's Lova Lova.
That's the surprise for you.
I created a new account specially for you.
Because you are my number 1 girl, you are my bestie.
Any other question?
Don't ask.
I've come so far to meet you, and you are just questioning me?
We don't have the time. Let's go.
Where do we have to go?
To win.
To win the fucking competition, right?
You are number 1. I'll make your video and you will win.
Because to make you to win, your Lova Lova is here.
-We will make all the others... -Let's make it here.
This is a good place.
Here?
Yes.
Do you remember your performance in the dunes?
What do you call the place where you performed?
Tila?
Yeah, that's where I got unconscious.
That's where you became number 1, big girl.
So, the place where you became number 1, same place we will end it.
Now you're getting me. Now we're going there.
We don't have much time. Let's go, let's go.
We have to celebrate together. We don't have much time, Rani.
Let's go.
Hey, you got ready so soon?
You didn't even sleep the whole night.
It is the last day of the competition, mom.
There is a little tension at work.
These peas are pretty rotten.
Srini? Srini?
Who knows what does this girl do in the bathroom for so long?
Please try to understand me.
What should I understand? Now you want to end this relationship?
Are all these things so easy for you, Srini?
It's not easy at all.
But I can't break my elder brother's trust.
He will never accept our relationship.
Srini, don't you love me?
I do.
I love you a lot.
But not more than my elder brother.
I am sorry.
I cannot do this anymore.
Bye.
Please, please, don't hang up, please.
Can we just meet and talk once?
See, I don't want to meet you.
Why don't you want to meet me?
Meet me for one last time.
Don't I deserve atleast that?
Fine.
I will meet you tonight, after mom sleeps.
Where are you, Rani?
The number you've called is switched off.
j& Beware, gorgeous ladies. Here I come. j&
This is the first time I am seeing the windmill so up-close.
Let's make a video here.
Alright.
My clothes, my makeup, where are they?
You do not worry about anything.
We have costume, jewellery, makeup, chair, table, lights.
We've got everything for my big girl.
What happened?
All okay?
You too will snatch my phone away?
Give me the phone.
Give me my phone.
-Are you mad? -Give me my phone.
-I have to call Nandu uncle. -Okay.
The number you've called is switched off.
My phone.
Give me my phone.
Listen, calm down.
-See, see, see. See this. -Give me my phone.
A new gift for you from my side.
Check out it's camera, it's very cool.
I was going to surprise you once we reached the dunes...
by giving you this phone. But I don't think
so, you like any surprises.
It already has got the Escaype app downloaded in it. See?
Madam, the car left from this point at 6:15 AM.
Where does this road go?
Left to Jodhpur, right to Bikaner.
Did you get the car pictures?
Send the car pictures to police control room.
I want all the details.
Let's go.
ARE YOU OKAY? I NEED TO TALK, PLEASE CALL.
Hey Dev, please come, sit.
Brother, dad is not well.
Since mom passed away,
this is the first time he has been drinking since last night.
He will fall sick if he continues like this.
Please come and make him understand.
Dad,
I made a mistake, dad.
I didn't want to hurt you.
Please forgive me.
Even I don't get it.
Where did I fail?
Did I not love you, or not care for you?
I never hit you or scold you, scare you or even threaten you,
from my perspective, I have raised you up pretty well.
I raised you without a lady, but raised well.
And you turned out to be like this?
If your mother was alive today,
how do you think she'd have tolerated this shock?
Mother knew, dad.
What?
Mom knew this.
When I was 10 years old,
I didn't even know what I was.
Getting dressed like girls,
doing makeup, I liked all those things.
Mom used to think I was being naive.
But eventually, even I realized this is who I really am.
After all she was a lady, like me.
But she too was afraid of the society.
But even more than the society, she was afraid of you.
I didn't even have the words to explain it to you.
And this is how I have been living ever since, dad.
Son, please stop making these videos.
I'll talk to some psychiatrist.
They will cure you of everything.
It's not a mental sickness, dad.
The problem is with the body.
That is why I want to get it cured.
God has made you a boy.
And this is where God made a mistake, dad.
I was put in a male body, by mistake.
Don't blame it on God, you will be banished to hell.
What I am going through is hell, dad!
That is what my life has been, constant suffocation.
But I want to be free now, dad.
I want...
to be... what I am.
I want to have a sex-change operation and become a girl, dad.
What? What operation?
Are you even in your senses? What are you saying?
I am not unique, dad.
There are many more like me.
So many people have undergone a gender change, male to female,
and female to male.
And don't you worship Lord Shiva, dad?
His avatar of 'Ardhnareshar' is half man, half woman.
What does it matter, whether I am your son or daughter,
I am still your blood!
You will still be my dad.
And you, my younger brother.
-Gender change... -Stay away from him.
He is a kid, what will he learn?
He will learn to be brave, dad.
If you accept me, he will learn to love you, not just fear you.
He will learn talking to you without trembling, dad.
He won't be forced to make videos to share his feelings, like me.
He will be able to hug you,
freely, whenever he feels like it,
be it out of fear, pain or joy,
like I wanted to.
I wanted to hug you, and tell you my truth, dad.
I am your daughter.
If you want to be my son,
then you can stay here,
but if you want to be my daughter,
even your shadow won't be allowed here.
Get lost!
I will assume that I conducted your last rites.
Hello?
Hello Mr. Krishna?
My Rani has vanished, I can't find her anywhere.
Just use your technology and look for her, you can do it.
Please do something, quick.
What happened?
Just wait here. Let's make one video here, please.
Okay, put your ID, Password, and login.
-I will stop the car. -Okay.
Yeah?
-Done? -1 min, just a minute.
We don't have a lot of time Rani, come on.
-Here. -Yeah.
My clothes? My makeup?
Yeah, yeah.
-Quick, quick. Fast, fast. -Yeah, yeah.
Darkie has everything for you.
Come on, come on. Let me show you everything.
3, 2, 1, ready.
Just come up and see.
This has your clothes, your jewelry,
-and that has your shoes? -Will the clothes fit me?
Super-fit, don't you worry.
This has stand, light, speakers, I got everything.
If you are hungry, I have chips, and then cold drinks behind that.
I got everything.
Bring the clothes, I will just be back.
Hey!
Yeah? What?
-Where? -What happened?
Where?
I am going behind that hillock, don't come, I am telling you.
Don't you follow me.
Don't you come.
Don't come.
We don't have much time, come soon.
Coming.
Oh damn!
What do you want from me?
Password.
Who the hell is this Lova Lova?
Sir, it is a fake profile.
Fake profile?
Why would someone make a fake profile to talk to a kid?
Ravi, the girl has gone missing.
Her uncle Nandlal called to inform us.
He suspects she might be talking to someone on the app.
So, we checked her DMs, and...
she is supposed to be meeting this guy at 2 PM.
We are a platform,
how can we be responsible for who is meeting whom and for what?
It is none of our bloody business.
We can't intrude into anyone's privacy.
But yes, this girl is our #1 talent.
And I want her back on the app.
I am just worried about my contest, nothing else.
Sir, I think this is connected to the contest.
Ma'am, can I?
Sir, I did a thorough check,
Dance Rani's followers list, her friends list,
who visits her page and how many times?
I found this.
Dark Angel. I have talked to him, sir.
This guy is not normal.
Ravi, he is right.
Even yesterday, he came live with a fake profile.
He has threatened us publicly in front of the police.
Set up the conference room with your tech team immediately.
If you guys are right,
then we have to be prepared.
What's up desert?
[indistinct chatter]
-Hurry up. -Yes, sir.
I think works fine, right?
[indistinct chatter]
-Hello sir. -Hello sir.
Yeah, yeah, fine. Great, I like it, Rose.
[indistinct chatter]
Why did you bring me here?
Why have you tied me up?
What the hell does he want?
Help me, help.
Help me please, help me.
Help!
-Help me, help me, help me. -Calm down, you will be fine.
Help me.
Calm down.
She doesn't listen. What can one do?
Mom!
Leave me, please.
Surprise!
Surprise fuckers!
It is your boy, Darkie.
Shikhar1096,
no, no, it is not acting.
I know, I know,
-you must have a lot of questions. -Let me go.
-Untie my hands. -Let me speak, let me speak.
So, I know you must have a lot of questions,
-what I am doing here with her... -Mom, dad must be worried sick.
By the way, that is Dance Rani, okay?
We are fucking collabing.
And it is gonna be cool, it is gonna be fucking cool.
And I am so fucking excited for it.
Wow!
Till then,
let me talk to my Escaype friends.
You guys have banned me!
You guys banned fucking Darkie!
You mess with Darkie.
Darkie fucks you up.
You guys have fucked up with the wrong fucking person.
-See, see, see. -Help me, help me.
Mom, dad...
So let me tell you what you need to do?
Guys, listen to me very carefully.
You guys have fucking 10 minutes,
my account should be un-banned within 10 minutes.
And if that doesn't happen...
Come on. Come on.
This...
If that doesn't happen, something else will.
And whatever happens, will be live.
Your time starts now.
Is he crazy?
Ravi, this guy looks really serious, what are we going to do?
We should save the kid, ma'am.
Sir? Sir, we need to save this girl.
I hope none but us has seen this video.
No Ravi, we simulated the whole thing.
Using the AI's auto-regressive language model,
all these hearts, comments, it is all computer-generated.
None but us has seen this video, and he will never know that.
And if there is any technical glitch?
He will know.
Then?
We are continuously monitoring it to prevent any technical glitch.
Simulate his profile too, within 10 minutes.
-Ravi! -I gotta make a few calls.
Are we informing the police?
Yes, we are, but after the contest ends.
But we can keep him busy in the contest,
and share his live location with the police.
And save the kid's life, I know that.
But Jia, why are you not getting it?
If this video leaks out, we will be banned.
Did you find out about the rat?
What?
No.
-But we are close. -Close?
Close?
If this fucking video leaks out, we will close.
But we have nothing to do with this.
Do you think they care?
-But Ravi, I mean... -Enough!
I can't let this app shutdown.
Shutdown the internet, starting now till the contest ends.
None will upload or download anything.
Only our app will be on,
and anything else, internal, external, shut it.
And no mobiles.
For the next 4 hours, ban the use of all mobiles.
No incoming or outgoing.
No matter who it is, employee, client, guest, whoever.
Infact, take all the mobiles,
yours included, and shut them all in the bloody locker rooms.
Tell everyone it is for security reasons, none will object.
They will happily do it.
Everyone can use it after 9 PM.
In the next 4 hours, Escaype goes into complete lock-down.
I HAVE LEFT HOME
What did you delete after typing? Tell me.
I told dad the whole truth.
Are you on the Ghats?
What are you doing?
Nothing, just sitting idly.
Are you fine?
What are you doing?
Just, a potential groom is coming to see me,
else I...
That is fine, you handle that, then we will call.
What are you going to do?
Ms. Meena, don't you have a video to make?
Today is the last day of the competition, come on, get up.
How can I make it here?
I don't even have the clothes.
What do you mean, how can you make it there?
People find salvation at Ghats, won't you find ladies' clothes?
Come on, Ms Meena, apply some brain, hustle, and win!
Isn't it?
And listen, all the best.
I will send lots of diamonds, okay?
And I will be watching.
Bye.
j& O, dignity of mine... j&
j& O dignity of mine, preserve it, o my Lord! j&
j& O, this dignity of mine... j&
j& O dignity of mine, preserve it, o my Lord! Of the entire Sindh,
j& Of Sehwan, the noble all-mighty! j&
j& Dama Dam, o you joyous Saint! You are the one with the power. j&
j& Dama Dam, o you joyous Saint! The Lord comes before all. j&
j& O, dignity of mine... j&
Superb! Great.
Welcome, welcome, welcome everybody.
It is your boy, Darkie.
And being back makes me so happy.
Where is my dark kingdom? Come on, dude. My favourites, come in.
Come on, everyone.
-Shreya16, Tommy fucking boy... -Just keep him occupied.
Let him imagine he is winning.
And I have a surprise for you.
That's Dance Rani for you guys.
If something happens to this girl,
-then who will be responsible? -My favourite,
and to support me, we have here.
Jia, I hope that nothing happens to her.
But try and understand....
I don't think you are understanding Ravi,
is our competition more important than this kid's life?
Why can't we keep him engaged,
give police the co-ordinates and send them there?
Ravi Gupta, I know we have a better reason for letting a child
go through this while he stands and he watches it live.
Yes.
I have a better reason.
A minister told me, one more mistake, and they will ban us.
Do you understand the significance of being banned?
You, him, me, we all will be out of our jobs.
And when we are jobless, who will hire someone from a company
which has been a failure?
You might get another job, but at my level, nope!
Like you, I too have a family.
And come what may, I won't let them down.
They are more important to me than this child.
Let's just end the contest peacefully.
-Please. -Post that,
we will do our best to save this girl.
You have my word.
I am unique.
-Sorry. I can't allow you. -Ma'am, please try to understand.
Please understand. It's Ravi sir's order.
j& The night's not done, neither are we... j&
j& Be what it may, let it be... j&
j& The night's not done, neither are we... j&
j& Be what it may, let it be... j&
j& Don't you think, just look at me, j&
j& Look at me, darling, with love! j&
j& don't you think, just look at me. j&
j& Look at me, darling, with love! j&
j& The night's not done, neither are we... j&
j& Be what it may, let it be... j&
Mr. Rangaswamy.
In my office.
5 minutes, I will be there.
Life is beautiful, ma'am.
I know what is going to happen in your cabin after 5 minutes from now.
I also know in the next five minutes,
anything could happen to a young girl.
But we are behaving as if nothing happened.
Am I responsible for that?
Ma'am!
You are the one who lined up her face off with Fetish Girl.
So that Dance Rani could be Number 1.
And what haven't you done for her victory?
It is my job, Mr. Rangaswami.
We can't just let someone win like that.
Escaype is a brand.
You won't understand.
Correct Ma'am. I won't understand.
It would be better for the brand building of Escaype...
if an ordinary young girl wins this contest.
So, everyone will watch it and say,
if a young girl won, why can't I?
The more people will dream, the more subscribers we will get.
It would bring in more money. Isn't it?
But amidst all this, what about that young girl?
Solely for your business of entertainment,
what all has that girl been through?
Her childhood has gone, her innocence has gone.
Who cares?
And even if that girl dies tomorrow, who will care?
I am really sorry to tell you this Ma'am.
But you are responsible.
For what has happened to that child and what is happening to that child.
And Ma am if something happens to that young girl,
I would never be able to forgive myself.
Because I too am a part of this.
Ma'am!
We have to save this child.
Ma'am, my uncle is in police.
I could make a call to him, he would call Delhi police.
We could save that child, ma'am.
Locker room is sealed. It can't be opened.
Ma'am, it's just one phone call. Please?
We can't tell Ravi that you're going to make a phone call.
-He will get suspicious. -Yes?
Ma'am, there is some technical glitch in the locker room.
They are neither letting us access the phone there,
nor can we make a call at the reception.
Okay, just give me two minutes.
Let s just go.
No, no, no, no, no. Don't get me wrong sir.
Everything is under control, Mr. Woo. Be rest assured.
Great Mr. Gupta. Till you're there, we don't need to worry.
Of course sir, that's why you hired me.
You're right, just like you, we can hire someone else also.
If anything goes wrong, so, meet our targets. Okay?
Yes sir.
I am sorry Jia, I had to.
That's okay.
At least with you, it is clear if my actions or words...
offended you or made you happy. But these...
What you see is definitely not what you get.
These fucking bastards.
Ravi, some people need to make urgent phone calls to their family.
I couldn't fulfill the promise I made to them.
First that Aamcha boy.
Now, this.
Hey! Nice!
-Wow! -Oh wow!
She is on fire.
See the diamonds, wow!
She is amazing.
-Yeah! -Yeah!
Ravi, some people need to make urgent phone calls.
Look, it is just 2 more hours.
Make her win.
Ravi, but we have to tell them something, right?
Why are we not letting them make calls?
Say security problems, whatever. You figure it out.
Somebody's mother is in the hospital.
That's not my problem.
If we don't let them make calls,
then it will definitely be your problem.
My problem?
Keep it up guys. Two hours to go.
One call per person from the reception phone.
For security reasons, all calls will be recorded.
I will take just two minutes.
-Wait two minutes. -Let me call first.
Call please.
Yeah, only one call per person.
Your I-card please?
This is not done, we were already here.
How can he cut the line?
Ma'am just... after him.
-Your bail paper... -Hello?
-Give me here. -Sir.
Yeah Krishna, go ahead?
Listen to me.
Right. Okay.
Write everything.
No Kannada. Only English or Hindi.
Why do you want me to write everything?
Uncle, we have to take Mother to the hospital. It's her dialysis.
Dialysis?
But I saw her today morning at the temple.
What are you saying? Any problem?
Yes. My laptop password is...
IPC 1860.
What? IPC 1860?
-Yes. Correct. -Keep going.
I'm making note of it.
And please ask mother to not be stressed.
Her favourite contestant, Dance Rani from Rajasthan.
-Dance Rani. -She is doing too good.
-Rajasthan? -She is not putting up her videos.
Why are you doing time-pass, bro?
She is her favourite contestant.
Hope she wins it.
And uncle, take my red Isuzu car.
-Red Isuzu? -Delhi one 6677.
6677. Dude, you got me all confused.
Okay, Uncle, you've got very less time.
You've got to take care of everything.
Please take immediate action.
