Shor in the City Page #3

Synopsis: An NRI faces threats from extortionists when he opens a small business and goes out with an aspiring model. He refuses to pay, both are stalked, and when he complains to the police, they not only shrug it off but offer 'protection' for a price. With increasing pressure, he must now make a decision to re-locate or submit to their demands. Tilak and his friends are career criminals, and sell merchandise that they steal from passengers using public transportation. He also buys best-selling novels, has copies printed, and has them sold at busy traffic signals. Things change when his group find guns and an explosive device in a stolen bag. Sawan Murthy wants to be a cricketer and must come up with Rs.10 Lakhs in order to be inducted in the 20/20 team. He has no money, nobody will lend him any, and he considers robbing the Citizen's Co-operative Bank. Just some of the challenges faced by regular Mumbaites and criminals in this crime-laden city.

Bhupi, find out when we're

getting that Chintan Gandhi book?

Hey, come here.

- Yes, sir.

Why are some pages missing here?

Oh, wejust missed printing

a few pages. Don't worry...

No one will know. Who reads

a book completely anyway?!

What? We're in the

business of selling books.

Just because we sell at half price

doesn't mean we sell halfbooks.

Sir, the customer

will not remember

what kid sold him

at which traffic light!

Will you do your work or not?

Sir, tell you what...

let's staple the pages on.

What?

- Let's staple the missing pages!

How many have you printed so far?

Wejust started

the second lot, sir.

Dump it. Start a new lot.

Err... It'll be a waste

of time and money!

Do it. Now!

- Okay, sir.

What's yourname again?

Sawan What?

Are you from the south?

Not really, sir. I've been

in Bombay for a long time.

But my family is from the south.

Hello! Yeah, when are we

announcing the Mumbai team?

Under 22? Nothing much...

there's this kid here...

Ok Listen, Ill call you back later.

You're not the only one

desperate for a place in the team.

There are tons of players

willing to pay money.

Player's salaries have

gone up these days.

If you get into the 20-20 league,

sky is the limit! You agree?

To run any business,

you must invest first.

And you're your own business!

Where else can you recover

yourinvestment so quickly.

Listen, if you were

a mind-blowing player,

I wouldn't be talking money at all.

Don't get me wrong,

you play very well...

...but you're no Sachin Tendulkar!

If you were, even God can't

stop you from being on the team!

Arrange the money by next

week. 1 million rupees. Okay?

Come on, come on!

Savvy? Want a ride to

your practice session?

No, you carry on.

I'll go in the evening.

Savvy, keep him in the shade, okay?

Listen to your Uncle,

there's a good boy!

Akka... - Yes?

Akka, do we have some money saved?

You need money? How much?

Some... 1 million...

Never mind, it's okay.

Why do you need so

much money, Savvy?

Forget it, it's nothing.

If you need a ride from

the ground, call me.

You remember the girl at the party?

Spare me, dude.

- No, really, I'm telling you, man!

Okay, hang on, let me show you...

Now talk!

Dude, this is that

same girl! What an item!

She let you film her?

- As if she knew that!

Send it to my phone! Sure, sure!

Bluetooth it.

- Yeah, yeah, take it!

Boy, this is fun!

Mandook! To the

left... the green bag...

- Yeah, saw it...

- Next station... we make ourmove.

Motherfu! Where

did you find this??

Where the hell did you find it?

I never thought I'd hold an AK-47!

How do you know it's an AK-47?

They show it all the time on TV...
