Why do you have to sit in front

of my shop every morning?

We are playing Flash.

Take today for example.

Dharmendra lost to me.

He'll give me Rs.10 million.

Where will he get it from?

Not me. He owes me the money.

It all comes to Rs.100 million.

You think of millions

sitting on the road..

..but you don't have a single

penny in your pocket.

At least it gladdens our souls.

You earn no money all day,

so you get angry.

Couldn't you find any

other place to play?

There's no better place than

this. No one comes here.

There is no crowd here

and no one stops you.

We can play peacefully here.

Oh, God, this peace brings

bad luck for me.

Let this oil-lamp illuminate

you today.

Tomorrow there will be no oil

and I can't guarantee it.

I'm lighting this last wick.

After this, it is up to you.

He won't help you. There's such a

big obstacle right in front of you.

Modern Madan!

Ever since Modern Madan's

salon has opened..

- ..Billu's salon has got no business.

- Yes.

These glamorous times.

Madan has decked-up his

salon like Rakhi Sawant.

And yours looks like Nirupa Roy.

Every hair that grows in Budbuda

is trimmed in that salon.

Billu, do something about it.

Mad guy!

Mind your tongue.

I called the next guy.

So many clients are sitting here.

I don't have time to abuse you.

Come on.

Look at this.

Old rate. New rate.

Hair cutting rate has been reduced

to Rs.10 from Rs.15?

What's this new trick of Billu's?

Are these Billu's reduced rates or..

..what unaccounted mangoes

are sold for?

Turn-off the engine. Don't

waste precious fuel!

That's a total of Rs.2000.

That's Rs.2475.

What's this fool doing

here? Call him.

Billu! Come here. Mr. Doomchand

is calling you.

How many times have I told you?

It's Daamchand.

Can't you understand?

What do I do, Master?

I didn't name you, so.

This evening itself, write 101

times, Daamchand! Daamchand!

If you still can't remember

it, don't come to work.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Since your hair-cutting

salon is in ruin..

..will you cut wood at my mill?

No! No!

- I wanted to get a new chair made, so..

- So times have changed?

The business is good?

No, Master. You need to

plan things in life.

If I know how much it would

cost to make the chair..

..I would start saving money for it.

Don't you want to get the chair

made now? You don't have any money?

No, I don't.

I don't want to get it made now.

I just have a rupee now.

Then why did you bother

me unnecessarily?

Why did you get those

heavy logs moved?

Do you think I'm a fool?

Look, it maybe a coincidence.

All the businesses that are

prospering have taken a loan from me.

You didn't, so your business
