Uday, thank you for coming.
Tell me.
What's the matter?
Binni Chaudhary is active, right?
And Heroine?
Is she in Delhi?
You know how important this story is to me.
Aamir, let's not go there.
We lost quite a bit last time.
You in particular.
Do you think
no other reporter will pursue this story if I don't?
Eventually this story will come out.
What's the lead?
There has been a kidnapping.
Thank you for wasting my time.
The extradition treaty signed with the Afghanistan government
is to bring Binny Chaudhary back, right?
Out with it. What do you want?
Include me in the investigation.
Give me the information you have.
- I will share the info... - What information do you have?
Give me a lead I am not aware of.
You are working for Rawat, aren't you?
Make this news tomorrow's headlines.
Sir.
Coffee?
This bootlicking will not get you what you want.
Come on, sir. I got coffee for you. Have it.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
There is a slum opposite my house too.
But it has never rained money there.
With all that money,
people can build villas there.
Here.
How do you know?
I just saw it.
Do you do drugs?
- What? - Do you do drugs?
People go there for it.
Sir, it is on the way to my home. Hence I saw it.
Trust me.
It's Binni Chaudhary's area.
I think he is back.
Okay. But he has been absconding for years now.
Why would be come back?
You know
he used to have a sexy girlfriend.
She did all the kidnappings.
You know I had a dream.
That she kidnaps me one day.
Sir, Heroine?
Do you know why she came to be called that?
Why, sir?
She came here to become an actress.
She struggled a lot.
Couldn't make much headway in the film industry. But...
she had to play multiple roles for Binni.
So the police started calling her Heroine.
She was a master of disguise.
Hello.
Yes, sir. Coming, sir.
Mihir sir.
- Come in, Maya. - Sir. Sir...
I know what you are trying to say, Maya.
I have been waiting for a year.
You say the same thing every time.
'Wait for some more time.'
You hired a fresher but not me. Why?
You have to talk to Aamir sir. Please.
Why do you want to join Crime Beats?
Sir, I didn't become a journalist to cover late night parties.
I always wanted to do investigative journalism.
And you knew this when I joined.
Maya, you are doing a great job covering the lifestyle beat.
You are handling the most read section.
Maybe, so?
Just because I am good at something doesn't mean I am good at it.
I cook well too. Should I become a chef then?
I feel wasted here.
Look,
Vivek has just put in his papers.
I'll talk to Aamir.
As soon as the HR finds a replacement for you,
we'll talk.
Okay?
Okay.
These three.
Kejriwal, Bhushan and Bedi.
- Yes, sir. - Get me their interviews.
And ask that lazy fucker to get Anna's interview.
Send him to his village.
Okay, sir.
Get moving.
Sir.
So Abhishek,
how is it at the Express?
Sir, it is great.
What's the difference between Express and your previous organisation?
Aamir Akhtar.
- Yes, sir. - So build contacts.
And if you want to catch Delhi's pulse
then befriend all the constables at the beat.
Who knows? You might land an exclusive scoop.
Yes, sir.
Get out on the field.
You know I hate lazy reporters.
You are on a three-month probation. Make the most of it.
Get me some great fucking stories.
Sure, sir.
And as the new guy on the Crime Beat
you have the opportunity to meet the commissioner.
Call up his PRO Vikram.
Ask him to fix up an appointment for you.
Alright?
Yes, sir.
Any new development on Binni Chaudhary?
No, sir.
You told me not to. So I didn't follow up.
If you say, I can dig more.
No. It's okay.
I'll tell you what to do next.
Hmm?
Sure, sir.
Hello.
Any lead?
10000.
Only then will I disclose Binni Chaudhary's location.
Isn't it too much?
Maybe. But you don't have time.
He keeps changing his location.
Fine. You'll get 10000 by afternoon.
Give me his location.
Is that Waheeda?
Yes.
She is helping him.
Will you please get me a black coffee?
Okay, sir.
Hey...
Hi.
You are here too?
Want a smoke?
Can I?
Sure.
I really need it.
So how has it been at the Express?
It's been okay.
Not found a major story yet.
You seem to be in a hurry.
This addiction of news and by-line is a dangerous thing.
Once you get hooked to it, you won't be able to quit it.
It's like a drug.
I have seen what it does to people.
You could've got my job.
Is that why you are saying this?
How do you know?
My sources are everywhere.
Right.
I was just crossing Mihir's cabin and overheard your conversation.
Eavesdropping.
Well, traits of a good crime reporter.
Thank you.
Seriously.
How did you land this job?
Did you pull some strings?
No.
- Then? - Thank you.
What do you have that I don't?
I have been chasing this position for two years.
My job is not confirmed either.
What?
I am on probation.
If I don't get them a few exclusives pretty soon
I'll have to go back to Delhi News' office.
And this time even they won't hire me.
Chill.
If you are getting to work here, you'll be given opportunity and time.
Trust me.
Trust you?
You were just trying to take my job.
No.
I know you'll give me the wrong advice. I don't want it.
You have a point.
Your job is not safe as long as I am in this office.
Better watch your back.
Sure, ma'am.
Come on.
Get talking.
Every single detail.
That woman was scared.
Her forehead was injured.
I dropped her here. By Aamir Khan.
And then I went there to take a leak.
I saw a tall man got out of the car.
Both hugged and got into the car.
And it was a Rampyari car.
Rampyari?
Amitji's Rampyari.
Rampyari. Bachchan.
This one?
Yes. This one. Colour was yellow.
Do you remember the number plate?
I was there. I couldn't see the number.
But there was a tiger's sticker on the back of the car.
Tiger's sticker?
Like the one on the sports stickers.
Aamir, Delhi institute's story is confirmed.
There is a major shortage of oxygen cylinders in the children's ward.
I have two doctors who are ready to testify.
Plus the documents.
That would corroborate the story.
Are you sure your doctors won't backtrack?
Not at all.
Sabrina.
Yes, sir.
The electricity board has cut the power supply to four government schools
in East Delhi for the last three months.
Because of non-payment of dues.
The assholes spend their entire day in air-conditioned rooms.
And the children are suffering in the heat.
Find out the name and address of this ward officer.
And develop the story.
- It has the possibility of page one lead. - Copy.
My future of journalism.
Sir?
Any fresh story?
A fireworks factory in Faridabad caught fire.
50 migrant workers were killed. And about 15 were severely burnt.
Who were taken to the hospital.
Every newspapers is going to run this news.
Where is the story?
Sir, the exclusive angle is when we got there,
there was so electricity in the hospital.
Electronic media used their flashlights to take pictures and videos of the victims.
This is the story.
Fucking vultures.
Feasting on the dead.
- Pursue this story. - Yeah.
As to how insensitive electronic media is.
How they harass the victims.
How they make a mockery of them. Just for their news.
Pashu, I need pictures on this.
Pashu, I need pictures on his story.
Pictures of burnt faces.
It's too insensitive.
You just called them vultures.
But you need not be a vulture too to take pictures.
You could do it some other way too.
Okay, boss. I will do it.
Come on, Aamir.
Obviously we can't.
We can't do this story.
Fuck it.
- Geet, you are doing page one lead. - Yes, sir.
Take the story from her. Sabrina, work on your story.
You still have a long way to go.
Nancy, I am off for the day.
Congratulations.
Motera.
Aamir Bhai.
Salaam, Aamir Bhai.
Salaam. Salaam.
What brings you to me today?
Order two pans. Special ones.
Okay.
How are you, Motera?
All good.
With your support.
I was just 8 when
the riots broke out. My carriage fell into the drain.
- You rescued me. - You have been telling
this story for ages now.
- Okay, listen. - Yes.
I need a favour.
Of course.
What is Salim up to these days?
He is into pigeon flying.
Tell me what is not evident.
The pan.
Bhai,
Hawala.
As you know.
Hawala.
Is Binni Chaudhry in touch with those guys?
Who?
The kidnapper?
I don't go there often.
Now you'll go there every day.
Keep your ears open and eyes peeled.
And if you find anything on Binni or someone called Heroine,
you will inform me.
Got it?
This should remain between you and me.
Okay, Bhai.
13th June 1997.
Upahar Theatre tragedy.
The real reason behind it
was faulty transformers.
Sir, no one has been able to forget this episode.
59 lives were lost that day.
Abhishek, your obsession with the by-line,
just give it up.
You know this is a page one worthy story.
And that's why you have posted it.
But have you even crosschecked your facts?
Do you know who is the owner of this faulty transformer company?
Did you even bother to figure that out?
I am pissed with this obsessions of yours.
Mihir, tell him who the owner of this faulty transformer company is?
The Malhotras.
They are part owners of the Express.
Sir, the number of Beatle cars in Delhi is quite less.
We found these five yellow coloured ones.
This is the list.
Perfect.
I'll let you know if I need you.
Sure, sir.
Ritesh Bansal was the equipment contractor at the commonwealth games.
Sir, CPI's inquiry into him is still ongoing.
I am sure it was his wife Nisha Bansal kidnapped.
Summon them both.
Yes, sir.
This location is perfect for our next job.
How many spotters do we have?
Three including Sadiq.
Two on the son and one on the father.
This kidnapping won't be that easy.
So we should know everything about the target's daily routine.
Will be done.
We can't afford to screw up Mahajan's kidnapping.
It will ruin Binni's plan entirely.
Just a second.
What about the landlord?
Chopra.
Is he suspicious that we are not a married couple?
Don't worry.
This is not my first time.
Fuck.
- Keys? - I'll get it.
- I'll take it. Give. - Okay.
We'll walk. It's pretty close.
Shit.
- Are you crazy? - What the fuck, bro?
Sorry. Sorry.
How can you drive like that?
Sorry. Sorry. I am a rookie driver.
What happened to my car? Who will compensate for this?
I will pay for the damage, sir.
- I will pay for the damage, sir. - Give.
- Sorry. Sorry. Very sorry. - One sec. Sorry. Relax.
- What is this? - Here.
Get it repaired. Go.
People have lost their manners.
Are you okay?
Do you have a cigarette?
- I do. - I am really stressed.
Don't stress yourself over it. Alright?
Is Rajesh Kumar Singh your hero?
You know
he has been jobless for three years.
He ran a story on corporate corruption.
An advert worth 80 crores got cancelled.
The company fired him the very next day.
No one hired him for three years.
Not even Aamir Akhtar.
Pashu, what about the Jantar Mantar photos?
On it.
Investigative journalism has no place in this country.
Yeah. Where are we going?
Stop.
You should've called.
What is this journalist doing here?
Come in. Don't worry.
Just the day before,
I went to the RTO for my license and I told the RTO agent
that I don't have a permanent address.
He said don't worry.
This is Delhi. Everything is possible here.
Sir, he handed me the license without a test.
God knows how many such licenses are being made in Delhi.
And that's the reason of all the road accidents.
Good. Hold on to that story.
Aakash?
Outside the Pakistani High commission in Chanakyapuri
the Delhi police stations their men for 500 rupees each.
And they sell those visa spots to visa applications for 5000.
Can you imagine?
And this spot is just 10 minutes away from the supreme court.
And the parliament is 5 minutes away I guess.
And the prime minister's office is 2 minutes away.
That's a better story.
Page one.
Congratulations.
What happened?
Lost out on page one again?
In journalism we are taught
that is it necessary to always bring out the truth.
I am doing just that at the Express.
Journalism for truth.
Then?
I am getting all these true stories.
But Aamir Akhtar doesn't want them.
Nor is he letting me do Binni's story.
You have to be manipulative to achieve success in life.
Watch where you are going.
There is a lane next to Binni's house.
It seems empty. Let's check it out.
Come.
- It is locked. - A cycle is approaching.
Hey...
What's going on?
Who are you guys?
- What are you doing here? - Uncle, we...
Actually I am a teacher.
So I thought of teaching the local kids.
- Yes. - I saw a big house.
So I thought of going inside and asking.
It was locked. So I climbed up here.
Are you going to teach kids
how to sneak into people's houses?
It's just a matter of two minutes.
- We will go away. - Hey...
Out with the truth or I'll slit his throat.
- Come down. - Coming.
Tell uncle. Hurry.
Uncle, sorry.
Abhishek, tell him the truth.
Go on. I am listening.
Actually my friend is a junkie.
So someone told us you get weed here.
The door was locked.
So I climbed up there.
I have this bad habit.
You get even weed at Binni Chaudhary's house now huh?
- Run. Run. - Go. Go.
Run. Run.
He is here.
Two tequilas please.
You?
Are you stalking me?
Stalking you?
By the way, who are you banging tonight?
Oh yes.
Hi.
How are you?
- I am better now. - Well,
I am only dancing tonight.
Go sit in the car. I'll be there.
Asshole.
- Hey... - Hi.
Hi.
Boyfriend?
Acquaintance.
So aside from dancing with acquaintances
what do you do for a living?
I am actually looking for a job.
Are you?
I might just have something for you.
We got him.
Throw your gun away.
Down.
Enough of the cat and mouse game, Binni Chaudhary.
A grand welcome awaits you in Delhi.
