Status?

- Sir...!

No one recalls the girl in that crowded

market. But we found some of her things.

Have you checked it?

- Yes, sir.

A couple of people did see her

but no one remembers anything.

No one knows how the dead man

got her phone.

He used to sell toys and

lived with his aunt in these slums.

What about the search dog?

The market was so crowded

that the dog lost her trace, sir.

What's going on?

Sir, the dead man name was Shrilal.

Is this all his stuff...?

- Yes, the rest is at home.

Home?

- Yes.

Then why'd he sleep here'?

I'm his aunt, not his mom.

How'd I know?

Keep an eye on her.

Does this happy creature know he's dead?

- No, sir.

Yes...?

Sir, it's inspector Jadhav,

Megwadi police station.

What happened?

Sir, a little girl's missing.

Her dad's an actor...

a Rahul Kapoor!

Look, we honestly told you

what happened.

Then you made us wait...

then you called us back for tea!

Then you assured me

you'd find my daughter.

Now you accuse me of kidnapping my own daughter!

- Correct!

Sir, is it possible for you

to make sense?

Are you calling me nonsensical?

I'm senseless...?

You kidnapped your daughter 'cos

sir's wife doesn't let you meet her.

Do you think I'm a fool?

Oh, not at all...!

In fact, you're making a fool of us.

Common, sir?

- Common what?

Why are you f***ing us, sir...?

- What...?

Sir, he was at my place when

his daughter disappeared.

And we've honestly told you

every detail.

Every last bit, right?

Yes...!

Then, why f***ing repeat yourself?

But you're implying that he...

if my boss says he's the kidnapper,

then he is.

My boss is way more educated

than you two!

And my boss' word is final...!

Rawal...!

- Yes, sir.

Searched his house?

- Yes, sir.

Spoke to his house mates?

His parents are at the cop station.

Hey, why are they at

the police station...?

They're just old people...

now you guys are bullying us!

Our daughter's been kidnapped...

and you harass us?

Hey, why are you hitting him?

Is she your daughter?

Is she?

- No... no...!

Give him some tea

and throw him out.

And you sit your ass down.

Shoumik, enough of this, buddy...!

I'm not your 'buddy'...!

Why will I kidnap Kali?

Boss's personal sh*t!!!

Go home...

and sleep it off.

Rahul:

'Why can't she stay with me?'

Shalini:
'I don't want

her meeting your sleazy friends.'

Shalini:
'And you're

ridiculous when you're drunk!'

Rahul:
'Shalini,

even you used to drink with me!'

Your friend used to force me.

And when you would pass out...

Rahul:
'He never touched you,

and I never passed out...'

Shalini:

'What...?'

Rahul:
'You got drunk

and told him your sob story.'

Rahul:
'You asked him if

you could become an actress?'
