Great! We have your 20 Rupees on Lokua.

Don't think twice!

Just place your bets!

20 Rupees on Netwa.

The competition is about to begin!

1... 2...

Now let's see who

gets the most coins!

Lokua has 3 coins!

- Netwa, hurry! Faster!

- Babua's got only one coin this time.

Let's see who's winning...

Munna has 6 coins in one dive.

Hold your breath folks.

- Please let me join in!

- No, just watch.

Those who've bet on Netwa,

will get three times their money!

Hello?

Hello Devi?

Yes?

Where were you hiding

your phone all this while?

You think l am an idiot?

I know what dirty

business you've been upto.

Bloody witch...

Move!

Hey!

What are you doing here?!

Who let you in?

I came hereto collect my stuff...

and if you make those lthy calls again,

I'll thrash the hell out of you!

He was our top student!

Weren't you ashamed to do it?

Whatever it was, we both

were equally involved.

But he was the only one to die.

Sikandar!

Thrust the leg into the

pyre, you idiot!

Sikandar!

Looks like the old man is drunk.

Pour me another drink

'King of the Doms'!

One more for your health!

Do I look like a king to you?

Come on! There are only

two kings in Banaras!

One is Kashi Naresh and

the other is the Dom king.

One on that side...

and one on this side.

Look at that miserable Shambu.

How many 'bonus days' in a year?

Hey! Shambu!

Yes, sir!

Once every 10 years.

Shambhu gets a 'bonus day'

every 10 years!

Meaning?

That day...

he gets all the money

from every cremation here.

Shambu's father...

got his 'bonus day' once in a year.

Overjoyed by that,

he had ten children.

The 'bonus day' got split.

Since the father

had one day in a year...

Shambhu inherited

a tenth of the 'bonus day'

Now he has one every 10 years.

When is your next 'bonus day', Shambu?

Never again

I sold my rights to Lala.

He gave me 1 lakh Rupees for it.

I'll live the rest of my life off alms.

If l sell my 'bonus day'...

I'll get over 10 lakh Rupees.

Right, lala?

As if you are ever going

to sell it to me.

Should we sell?

Asking your ignorant son?

He has nothing to do with

our cremation ghat!

He's nothing but an educated fool!

You're insulting my son?

I'll never sell my 'bonus day' to you!

As if you'd ever think to do so!

Father, I need some money.

For the Durga Puja Carnival.

There, in my shirt.

May I take 300 Rupees?

Take as much as you want.

You're the only one!

Are you going to the Durga puja

carnival tonight?

20 rupees.

Put the watch in the hat.

Easy! Right inside.

Now it's inside.

Now blow into the hat.

The watch has...

vanished!

The watch will re-appear...

in someone's pocket.

He has it!

Man in the red shirt!
