01x01 - Mine or Yours

[bunniefuu]

Cut!

Next setup!

Give me the robe.

-It was good, right?

-Very nice, ma'am.

Mala. Mala. Good shot.

-Good shot. Good shot.

-Thank you. Thank you.

-It's a hit, Mala ma'am.

-Thank you.

Hey!

Did you hear about Divendu Khurana?

Our Divendu Khurana?

Yeah, the same one.

A new girl… some Chanchal Sawhney,

said he forced himself on her.

That's impossible. Is she nuts?

He's not that kind of a person.

You have no clue, buddy.

The industry is full of sh*t.

It's all about power.

b*stard!

-What the hell--

-What happened?

Come on!

Got it. I got it.

Bottoms up, sir! Bottoms up!

Wow! Chanchal Sawhney, come on!

Yes! Yes!

This "Chanchal Sawhney" story is nothing

more than a publicity stunt, sir.

Exactly.

She will get into Big Boss.

Wait and watch.

Sensuous body!

Alluring eyes!

The way she comes close to me

Don't blame me, O world!

If Khurana falls into her trap

-Sensuous body!

-Come on, guys.

It's not funny, guys.

It's not funny.

But Mala--

How can you assume that

it's a publicity stunt?

Come on, Ms. Mala.

Divendu Khurana.

Most respected filmmaker of the country.

Three-time National Award winner.

He can never behave in

such an anti-national way.

Absolutely, sir.

Take his filmography, for example.

Social… feminist films!

No.

But we don't know what

happened between them.

Exactly.

Have you seen her picture?

Cheap makeup, full expose.

She looks the type.

Her name fits her bloody actions.

Mala, sorry.

Excuse me.

Can you show me that picture of hers, sir?

In fact, send it to me.

-All deleted.

-So you did have it!

So, he had it. So, he had it.

That's the reason

he never came to the set.

Whiskey on the rocks.

Don't act coy.

If she comes on the sets,

then you'll be…

But let me tell you, sir.

Chanchal Sawhney's career is finished.

Over.

Correct.

Seriously, sir.

They f*cking want to make

it to the top overnight.

We've been getting screwed

for years. Are we dumbfucks?

Are we dumbfucks?

Yes.

You're a dumbfuck!

We've all been screwed.

Now it's your turn.

Sir, I'm just following in your footsteps.

My Lord, respect for all religions

was the intention of the framers

of the Constitution of India.

Next matter!

My Lord, according to

the trial court's findings,

the accused and his associates

m*rder*d an innocent

13-year-old boy in cold blood.

People are right.

One should never climb courthouse stairs.

If I miss this case because of you,

I'll make sure you never

climb another step again.

Don't worry, it's my dad's case.

Kashaf will handle it.

This court must admit this case.

-This court must admit this case.

-Excuse me. Excuse me.

My Lords, the counsel for the accused

should be here any moment.

I'm here, Lordship.

I'm here!

Lordship, this is a travesty.

Yes, indeed.

Being late for your case is a travesty.

I apologize, Your Honor.

But a 14-year-old closed

case is being reopened.

Why?

Because the government has changed,

and they want to falsely implicate…

-my innocent client.

-Yes.

Your Honor, this is nothing but

a politically-motivated witch hunt.

-And it has nothing to do--

-Notice issued.

My Lord, please give me two minutes.

Let me make my case.

There's no reason for this

case to be actually admitted.

Counsel, are you telling

me how to run my court?

-No, My Lord, but at least hear me out.

-Next matter, please.

My Lords!

My husband has filed for a divorce.

He claims that I'm having

an affair with my brother-in-law.

I mean, I really should be telling

him how to bloody run his court.

It's a joke in there.

You know how cases

get admitted in court, right?

So, don't take it so personally.

At least,

you can't tell Dad it's my fault.

Ma'am, we've been

looking all over for you.

You refused to accept a fee.

Please accept this.

It's jaggery made from the

sugarcane from our own fields.

Jaggery.

Very good.

-Thank you.

-Where were you, Abhijeet?

I got the Court 23 matter adjourned.

So that--

Will you adjourn your bad mood too?

It's okay.

Daddy is innocent.

And there's God.

Yes, yes, there's God.

There's God. He'll fix everything.

Hi, my name is Shaurya Tyagi.

My dad thinks it's a pretty

cool name because he kept it.

"Shaurya" means bravery,

but then "Tyagi" means to give up.

My boy!

Deepak Rana!

The guy who's never

been late for anything…

I've heard you managed

to break his tradition.

You too?

We were having a party last night.

And you know how cocaine hangovers are.

Your mind gets locked down.

Poor Kitu.

Kitu, age no bar in your bar?

Hey, listen, let them enjoy.

Yeah, while Kitu enjoys

the court appearances.

And Deepak enjoys doing

free cases for a change.

Many times awarded

film-maker, Divendu Khurana,

has been arrested from

his Bandra residence

just a few minutes ago.

The entire industry is

in a state of shock.

Isn't this unfair?

A popular actress like Mala Kumari…

…has accused a reputed director

like Divendu Khurana of r*pe.

Will we ever see an end

to the casting couch demon?

He's my f*cking idol, you know?

I can't digest this.

Have a drink.

You'll digest everything.

Good morning, Sue.

Good morning.

-Good morning, ma'am.

-Good morning.

I know where your gaze goes

-See you later!

-Yes, sir.

-Bye, sir.

-Sir, Goyal case today--

Yes, my dear.

-Morning, Sue!

-Morning, Deepak!

For you!

-Morning, sir.

-Good morning, sir.

-Morning.

-Good morning, sir.

We represent half the MNCs in Delhi

then why get involved

in these criminal matters?

He's a big name, son.

We cannot refuse.

Good morning, everyone!

Morning. Morning.

-Deepak.

-Yeah?

Want to be a star?

Your Honor?

Divendu Khurana, the director,

is looking for a lead

for his legal drama film.

Oh!

Got it, Your Honor. I'm always ready.

He's been charged with 375, Grandpa.

r*pe.

If we lose this case,

it will reflect very badly on the firm.

These days, supporting any

sexual offender is dangerous.

And Khanna Khanna & Associates had

made a policy of not taking r*pe cases.

That was 15 years ago, DN.

When he couldn't even wipe his a*s.

Stop it, Dad!

I'll call you back, Mom.

She's good-looking, does

household work, she's simple.

What else do you want?

I'll call you back.

Whenever I talk about marriage,

you're always in a meeting--

I'll call you, bye.

Okay.

Sorry.

Dad, in such high-profile

"he said-she said" cases,

no judge would like to appear anti-women.

We can't take up cases based

on the judge's attitude.

Let the judge do his job

and we'll do ours.

And our job is to defend our client.

To the best of our abilities.

Am I right, sir?

And what if this guy,

Khurana, is actually guilty?

Does a doctor think before

operating on a pregnant woman,

whose child she's carrying?

A lawyer's job is not to make

any moral judgment. Understand?

Everyone deserves a defense, Shubhrat.

And the best defense.

Okay.

If Deepak wants to take

up this case, then… fine.

But the Khannas themselves shouldn't

be seen defending an alleged r*pist.

So, Deepak…

Sir.

What's gonna be our strategy?

Get Neela Raghunandan

as arguing counsel.

It's like I offer a film to Shah Rukh

and he says, "Get Sahil."

The script here is slightly different.

Look, there are female

lawyers on the other side.

They will try to win

the judge's sympathy.

If we have a female on our side,

we can maintain the drama.

I trust you, Deepak.

But I want you to be the director.

Okay, sir.

Do it.

Here.

I've been appointed your

Special Public Prosecutor, Mala.

So, like it or not,

you're stuck with me.

I'm glad it's you I'm stuck with.

I follow you. Appreciate your work.

And if there's anybody who can

help me win this case, it's you.

And that's Vandana Katpalia, my partner.

-Hi. Sorry.

-Hi.

So, tell us, Mala.

I was sh**ting for my first film.

Here in Delhi.

Divendu Khurana…

wasn't happy with my work.

After the first day of the sh**t,

his assistant, Mihir, came to my room,

and he said, "Sir has called

you to discuss tomorrow's scenes."

It was, what, eleven o'clock in the night.

But I went.

He got up and closed the door.

At first, he yelled at me.

He said I wasn't showing any

spontaneity in today's scenes.

And then he asked me, "Have you…

have you ever made love to anyone?"

Yeah.

I said no.

Then he yelled at me some more.

Can you believe it?

He said, "This is the reason you

couldn't be spontaneous

in today's scenes."

And then… he came close to me.

Like, right on top.

And then he told me…

"Treat this as an acting lesson.

You just respond…

naturally, organically, spontaneously."

And…

yeah, he also said,

"Open yourself up."

Yeah.

And then…

Take your time.

He r*ped me.

I still can't believe that

Mala's accused me of r*pe.

My lifetime's achievements--

No.

It's unbelievable.

It's okay, Div.

We'll get through this, yeah?

Sir…

did you ever have sex with her?

I have to ask.

-Deepak, I--

-Sir, just…

remember that…

consent is a very gray area.

Mala…

why now?

Five years later?

Back then…

I was just a struggling actress.

A newcomer.

Like Chanchal Sawhney.

But now I'm a star.

But he's just the same…

Khurana.

That as*h*le.

Something's gotta change, right?

-Sir! Sir!

-Divendu sir!

-Sir, just a minute!

-Sir, one question!

-Divendu sir!

-Sir, one question!

Are you guilty, sir? Are you guilty?

Divendu sir! Sir, one question!

Are you guilty, sir? Divendu sir!

-Mala ma'am!

-Mala ma'am!

-Mala ma'am!

-Mala!

-Mala ma'am!

-Mala ma'am!

-Mala ma'am!

-Mala ma'am!

When Mala ma'am came out of

Khurana Sir's room, she was in tears.

And what were you doing there?

Collecting plates from the next room.

That's when I saw her.

Then?

I went up to her and asked,

"Ma'am, is everything alright?"

But she ran away without answering.

Your witness.

Pawan Kumar…

have you ever broken a plate?

In the beginning, I must have.

The manager must have yelled at you?

Yeah, he did.

Did you smile when he yelled?

-What?

-Or did you ever cry?

Yes, I may have cried a couple of times.

Your Honor, Mr. Khurana was not

happy with Mala Kumari's performance.

He must have yelled at her.

Her leaving the room in tears

doesn't suggest anything, Your Honor.

No further questions.

Yeah, check this.

-Give those to Sue.

-Sure.

Nice strategy.

Your lead actress, Neela Raghunandan.

-Stop it.

-What?

Looking at every woman he talks to.

Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, please.

I want to stay in this industry.

Khurana Sir is a reputed director.

That's exactly why we need collective

strength to expose him, Seema.

Even stars don't speak up.

What can I say?

That's not true. They are speaking up.

Mala spoke up,

Chanchal Sawhney spoke up.

They are finally mustering

the courage to speak up

and they really need your support.

So, please.

Seema? Oh, God. She disconnected.

-Did these guys bail?

-All gone.

Keep coming! Keep coming!

What?

Why breed an elephant

when you can't afford one?

With elephants and horses,

even a pauper looks like a prince.

You, a pauper?

I was talking about you.

Case number 46. Madhu Sharma.

Madhu Sharma!

Madhu Sharma's in the toilet.

Then call her!

Or should we join her there?

Pass over. Next.

Case number 70.

State Vs. Divendu Khurana.

Your Honor, I would like

to call Seema Khobragade

to the witness stand, please.

Thank you.

Hello, ma'am.

-Seema Khobragade.

-Yes.

Did you do makeup for Mala Kumari

during the Meri Tumhari sh**t?

Yes.

And what did you see when you were doing

her makeup on the morning of 31st July?

It was a swimming pool scene.

So, I had to touch up

Ms. Mala's back too.

There were deep nail marks on her back.

When I started applying

foundation on her back,

she started crying inconsolably.

Thank you, Seema.

Your witness.

-Ms. Seema.

-Yes.

Along with your makeup kit,

do you also carry a DNA test kit?

What?

Can you look at a scratch

and tell whose nail it was?

-No, everyone was talking on set--

-Gossip. Gossip.

Your Lordship, gossip about a new

actress and director is common.

It also happens out of jealousy.

How did this ordinary

girl get the lead role?

She must be sleeping with the director.

But this kind of gossip is

meaningless, Your Lordship.

Even if there were scratch

marks on Mala's back,

were they really nail marks?

If yes, whose nail marks?

I don't want to indulge in guesswork.

Your Honor,

the question of r*pe does not arise.

Because there was no sexual relationship

between Mala Kumari and Divendu Khurana.

It was a strictly

professional relationship.

That's all, Your Honor.

Div…

look…

I'm with you and…

I will support you all the way.

But I…

I just need to know the truth, Div.

Did you…

and Mala ever…

-Maitrayee, Maitrayee, please.

-I really need to know.

Please believe me.

I'm telling the truth.

There was nothing between me and Mala.

She was my actress and I was her director.

That is all.

L…

P, E! Golpe!

-What?

-What?

There's no such word. Golpe.

Come on, brother, of course, there is.

Hassan, Kashaf is right. Golpe is a word.

Justice Munawwar Quaze sir,

you may be a supreme court

judge, but not at home.

Challenge it, Hassan.

Challenge, My Lord.

Challenge accepted.

Antara, do the honors.

Okay.

Golpe…

Thank you, Uncle Ali.

-…is a word!

-Oh, damn!

It can be a drastic action

or change in politics.

Golpe can also mean a coup d'état from

the Spanish term golpe de estado.

I should have known.

After all,

Kashaf won't let anything be

without bringing some

bloody revolution into it.

The father's qualities will

rub off on the children.

Unfortunately, they didn't

rub off equally on all the children.

Come on, let's make peace.

There's P… then comes E…

A…

C…

and E.

That's "peace."

Your Honor, I would like to invite

Mala Kumari to the witness stand.

So, Ms. Mala…

on the night of 30th July 2016,

Mr. Khurana r*ped you?

Yes.

But you didn't quit the film?

No, no, I mean, that's fantastic.

Very professional.

A commitment is a commitment.

You finished the film.

Great.

Very good.

And after that, as everyone knows,

you signed two more

films with Mr. Khurana,

who allegedly r*ped you.

Correct?

Yes.

And a third film was in the pipeline too.

Yes.

Then why didn't you do that film?

I didn't like the script.

You didn't like the script?

Oh.

Okay.

Thank you, Ms. Mala.

No more questions.

Your Honor,

I would like to invite Mr. Singhla,

the co-producer of this latest

film to the witness stand.

Mr. Singhla, why didn't Mala

do Mr. Khurana's latest film?

Madam, she asked for 100

million and a profit share.

So, Khurana flatly refused.

So, Khurana refused her?

Oh, I see. When did this happen?

Recently. On 20th December.

20th December?

So, that was exactly

12 days before Mala Kumari filed the FIR.

Your Honor, as long as Mala's

terms were being accepted,

everything was good.

When things went south,

Mala cried, "He r*ped me."

Objection, Your Honor.

The prosecution has

filed a fake r*pe case.

They have no proof except, "Mala says so."

-Ma'am!

-Ma'am!

No proof, no r*pe.

Look, so many support messages, tweets.

The entire film fraternity is saying,

"We love you, Mala. We support you.

We're here with you."

But proof!

There's always some proof.

Chanchal, did you have

a bad experience with

anyone else in the industry?

Ma'am, don't even ask.

Everyone is ditto same only here.

But you never spoke up before this?

What could I gain by speaking

up against a small fish?

Divendu Khurana is a big fish.

That is why people are attending.

See how everyone is lapping up.

I am sorry to say this,

but you're on the wrong side.

I was in that film too,

in a supporting role.

And nothing of the sort happened.

Divendu sir is a thorough gentleman.

I…

I can't even imagine how

Mala can do this to him.

Maybe Mala is lying.

I don't think so, Vandu.

Kashaf, nobody speaks against the guy.

In fact, they only have f*cking

glowing things to say about him.

Yeah, I am meeting him.

Okay, quickly go again!

I don't know if it was r*pe…

they definitely had sex.

How do you know?

Khurana said so.

He told you that? How come?

I was his DA. Director's Assistant.

Normally, he's quite a private person,

but that one day he

got pretty damn drunk.

Blurted it out.

Were there other women?

Not that I know of.

He had a special thing for Mala.

It wasn't just that one night.

They had a full-blown relationship going.

His entire f*cking case is built

on the fact that they never had sex.

Look, Vandana, no one's a saint here.

And Mala is no victim.

Khurana sexually exploited Mala, okay?

Even if he did, then?

She became close to him.

Power went into her woolly head.

She decided she can

suddenly behave like a diva.

Started misbehaving on set,

throwing tantrums around.

And you know what?

During a foreign schedule,

she f*cking disappeared

for a week without telling anyone.

Screwed the entire unit.

Look, Mala, we can only help

you if you tell us the whole truth.

Listen…

it's bloody messier than you think it is.

After that night, he would

often call me to his room.

And you went?

At first, it came as a shocker.

But then…

I don't know.

I had convinced myself…

that I don't have a choice.

You know, I was my father's favorite.

"My daughter topped the school!

She'll be a doctor, make the city proud!"

He was so proud of me.

I had gotten admission for MBBS as well.

But I never wanted to do that.

I quit everything and came

to Mumbai to become an actress.

My dad never spoke to me again.

After four years of a difficult struggle,

I had finally landed this film.

Ambition is a beautiful poison.

No, Deepak.

I think Mr. Khurana should exercise

his right to not give testimony.

Sure he can, but the entire case

hangs on the judge's opinion.

And if Mr. Khurana

refuses to give testimony,

Justice Shukla may feel

that he has something to hide.

Your Honor, I'd like to call

Mr. Divendu Khurana to the stand, please.

Mr. Khurana, on 15th September 2016,

you transferred 200,000 rupees

to Mala Kumari's account

from your personal account.

Can you tell the Honorable

Court the reason for this transfer?

Well, I…

Look at me, Mr. Khurana.

Why did you transfer this money?

Objection. Relevance?

Let the witness answer, counsel.

It's been a while.

Maybe, she needed the money

and I lent it to her.

Let me remind you.

This was the same week

when she had disappeared

from the film's foreign schedule

for a week without any notice.

It's possible.

I don't remember.

I put it to you that you gave Mala

this money for an ab*rtion!

Objection!

Overruled.

-Answer, Mr. Khurana.

-That's a lie, Your Honor.

I put it to you that Mala

was pregnant with your child

and that you were there

at the time of the ab*rtion.

-That's not the case, Your Honor.

-Objection, Your Honor. Objection.

Then why did you transfer

the money to a new actress

when you weren't even

happy with her work?

Doesn't make sense.

She needed the money

and I offered her help.

Your Honor, the counsel has no right

to make such baseless allegations.

Your Honor,

Mala had an ab*rtion that week.

-We have the receipt.

-And so?

How is Mr. Khurana connected

to what goes on in Mala's personal life?

She needed the money and

he lent it to her in good faith

because he's a gentleman, that's all.

sh*t!

f*ck.

f*ck!

You set an alarm for sex?

Baby, it is 7:00 a.m.

-So?

-I have to go.

-Is sex banned in the morning?

-I have to go.

I promise I'm gonna make

it up to you next time.

You always do this. Selfish woman.

-Go.

-Our case is listed first today.

You're not the only one who's busy.

I have foreign clients in town too.

Bloody hell!

f*ck off!

I'm sorry, madam.

We're not authorized

to give out any case paper.

But it was my case, ma'am.

I'm extremely sorry.

Mr. Khurana…

is this your signature?

She's had three miscarriages

since that ab*rtion.

If you don't send us all the case papers,

we're going to assume that her

uterus was damaged in your hospital.

And we're going to sue

you for the damages.

I'm her lawyer, by the way.

Before you answer, I'd like

to remind you that you are under oath.

Your Honor,

this anesthesia consent form

was signed by Mr. Khurana

in Switzerland's Altherr Clinic,

where Mala had an ab*rtion…

when he was with Mala!

Your Honor, this is absolutely clear…

that it was Mr. Khurana's child.

And he lied in his evidence

that he never had sex with Mala.

Your Honor, I'd like to remind

the Honorable Court,

as per Section 375,

how consent is defined.

On the night of 30th July,

even if Mala didn't say "No,"

she didn't say yes either.

Even if she didn't resist physically,

it still cannot be seen

as consent, Your Honor.

This is clearly written in the IPC.

And Mala did not communicate

any willingness that night.

There was a clear lack of consent.

And that amounts to r*pe

under Section 375.

Your Honor…

when a person r*pes someone,

does he accompany her

to the ab*rtion clinic?

The prosecution just proved

that there was indeed no r*pe.

Whatever happened, Your Honor,

was totally consensual.

-Mala ma'am.

-Ma'am, please wait!

-Mala ma'am!

-Mala ma'am, one question, please!

Mala ma'am, please!

-Kashaf, can we--

-Mala ma'am!

I am off to Jim Corbett in a chopper.

I'll land directly in the middle of lions.

What's the matter with you?

Your Honor, we'd like to add

the charge of Section 376C,

-sexual intercourse by a person--

-Objection, Your Honor!

Yeah, yeah.

Your Honor, I think my learned friend

is a late riser just like her client.

No personal remarks, counsel.

I apologize, Your Honor.

But this is the prosecution's conspiracy.

They want to add this charge

because their fake r*pe case has failed.

Counsel, why this charge now?

Your Honor, Mr. Khurana

claims that he didn't r*pe Mala.

But he admits they had sex.

And Mala says that she did not consent.

Now, this is not a new situation,

Your Honor.

And Section 376C has been introduced

for situations like these.

Sexual intercourse

by a person in authority.

I ask that you add that charge under your

power under Section 216 of the CRPC.

But I did not r*pe her, Deepak!

Sir, in this case, you,

meaning the director,

could be interpreted

as the person in authority.

Yes, but the sex was consensual.

It was completely consensual!

Still, sir.

If a woman files a complaint and

you're in a position of authority,

and it's proved that you two had sex,

then there are full chances of

getting convicted under Section 376C.

Five to ten years in jail.

This is completely ridiculous.

Mala…

the struggler whom I gave a break,

taught her how to act,

made her a star.

Now she's framing me!

I am…

I am shocked, Deepak.

I understand, sir, but…

the law is what it is.

There must be a way.

I can't!

They can't!

Mr. Thakur, you were the

producer of Meri Tumhari.

Yes.

Who hired your lead actress Mala Kumari?

I did.

Who had the right to fire her?

Obviously, as the producer of the

film, I had the right.

And who paid her?

The entire expense and headache of

the film is the producer's, madam.

Just that the credit goes elsewhere.

So, it would be right to say…

that the producer is the boss

of the film actress. Right?

Absolutely right.

And you were the boss of

the director, Divendu Khurana, too?

Absolutely, madam.

After all, I was the producer.

Thank you, sir.

You can take your seat.

Thanks.

Your Honor,

this is a copy of the contract

signed between

the producer and Mala Kumari.

As you can see, as per this contract,

the only person in authority

who had a fiduciary or

financial relationship

with the actress, was the producer.

The director, Divendu Khurana,

was just another member of the team.

He was definitely not

the person in authority.

So, any consensual sexual relationship

between them is not a crime.

Your Honor, my learned friend

is deliberately misleading the court.

Objection, Your Honor!

Meri Tumhari was Mala's first film.

And Mr. Khurana was already

an established director.

Claiming that he

couldn't have fired Mala

or destroyed her entire career,

or wasn't the person

in authority on this film,

is a joke!

I have nothing more to say, Your Honor!

I rest my case!

I am sorry.

I just want you to know…

whatever the judgment,

I did not r*pe her.

You know what, Divendu?

Some things can be communicated

without saying a word.

Like a lack of consent.

I think you know that…

you've lost my trust.

Sir, Divendu Khurana has lost his next

film because of Mala Kumari's charges.

Who do you think is right?

We completely support Mala in this battle.

-Jai Sri Krishna.

-Thank you, sir.

-As you can see…

-Sir…

do you really think Mala is right?

Ripu, we have 800 million riding on her.

Of course, she's right.

r*pe is a heinous crime.

And due to the lack of

eyewitnesses or solid evidence,

this court believes that whatever

happened on the night of 30th July

cannot be conclusively determined.

The court, thus,

acquits Divendu Khurana

of the r*pe charge under Section 375.

Divendu Khurana,

the director of the film,

was the person in authority

for a new actress like Mala Kumari.

This court thus finds the

accused, Divendu Khurana,

guilty under Section 376C of the IPC…

and sentences him to five

years of rigorous imprisonment.

At least, he's going to jail.

For five years.

Nobody believes it was r*pe.

And it was.

You had the courage

to seek justice, Mala.

The courage to bare

your soul to the world.

And if that is not victory,

I don't know what is.

We had sex education classes in school.

But our teacher taught us math instead.

The only sex we knew was the Sensex.

Even today, a lot of men think

they need only two things for sex.

A woman and a condom.

All I'm trying to say is

if you think you're a human being,

then take consent.

Else go back to being a monkey.

Climb trees, eat bananas, and have sex.

It's all cool.

That's my boy!

You are the real stand-up!

May I join you?

Looks like we're celebrating

the Mala case win?

He should've gone in for r*pe.

But Vandu, Deepak was coaching

him on how and when to lie.

Hey!

Why do you take everything

so personally, Kashaf?

Mala was r*ped, Deepak.

It is personal.

Okay, how can you be so sure?

Because she is a woman?

How many times have I told you,

life is not so black and white!

Your client was lying

through his g*dd*mn teeth.

And your client is no saint either.

-There are grays, Kashaf.

-Okay, let it go.

You are getting your fat fee, right?

So what does it matter if it's

black, white, or gray? Right?

No, no, this is not about the money.

So then what is it about?

About winning?

About being a hotshot lawyer,

a hotshot firm?

What is it about? Tell me.

-Kashaf, man--

-It's-- One second.

As a lawyer, my job is to

defend my client's position,

whether it's Divendu Khurana

or anyone else.

And how can you accuse me all the time

when all I'm doing is following the law?

The Letter of the Law.

-According to you.

-And you?

When you take up a case,

-don't you have an opinion of your own?

-Of course, I do.

Or have you forgotten

everything in the race for success--

You've forgotten the truth,

the responsibility, it doesn't matter.

-Will you at least listen--

-You can't even imagine

how a case affects the

people who go through it.

But Khurana is also suffering, Kashaf.

And people like Divendu Khurana

look innocent, Deepak,

but they just know how

to manipulate the world.

They know how to manipulate,

how to use their power

and their responsibility.

And maybe Mala didn't

know that she was being used.

And you know my problem

is that you refuse to see it.

You just don't see it--

Oh, f*ck!
