Post by bunniefuu »

Good evening.

Good evening, everyone.

On behalf of VivaLife Society,

I, Tejaswi Tijori,

welcome you all to today's function.

The managing committee and I are happy

to have you here with us tonight.

The food counter is open.

You can eat here after giving

your coupons, but no takeaways.

-Raji, I'm going up.

-Yeah.

-Remember the other--

-Hari, Listen.

Yeah, yeah. No worries. Go ahead.

-What happened?

-Ba has gone upstairs to have dinner.

Let's go and eat with her.

We eat dinner with Ba every day, my love.

Shankar sir and Varuna ji are here today.

-Let's meet them and say hello. We don't--

-But Ba is eating all alone, Hari.

-Why don't you--

-Raji?

-Yeah?

-Suman told me you run a tiffin…

-I mean dabba business.

-I do.

And about

that special powder that--

-Yes, uh, just a second.

-Okay.

Let's talk here.

Uh, but it'll cost you 300 more

for the powder.

No problem. I don't mind.

And I'll send you

rest of the details privately.

-Later okay?

-Don't forget, okay?

-I'll wait to hear from you. Thank you.

-Hmm.

Hey! Don't touch that!

-That's only for guests, not for you.

-It's just a cold drink.

-What's the problem?

-Don't argue with me.

Ram Singh!

Ram Singh! Hogging away!

The food is only for society members.

And who let her in here?

Mrs. Tijori, one second.

Mala, I forgot to give you your coupon.

Raji, what is this?

What will everyone say about this?

This function is only for members

and guests only.

Yes, Mala is my guest, Mrs. Tijori.

Yeah, guest, my foot.

Please have some more.

Have you paid for it?

Don't be late tomorrow. 6:30, okay?

-Come by to office sometime.

-I will.

-It's been a while. Yeah?

-Sure.

-Joining us for dinner?

-Yeah.

-Of course.

-Yeah.

-See you.

-See you tomorrow.

-Hello.

-Hello. Hello

-Shall we?

-Yeah.

-Hello, sir. Hello, ma'am.

-Hi.

-Let's go?

-Yeah.

-Hari… Hari, sir.

-Hi.

-Hari. Hari Jagtap.

-Right.

My wife, Raji.

-Hello.

-Hi.

I'm with the supply chain management team.

Oh.

Just a sec.

I'm really sorry.

I have to take this call.

Yeah, Shailaja?

That Modella news? Of course, I've heard.

Uh, first thing tomorrow…

Varuna Dasgupta. Sir's better half.

Yeah, but you know… I just have to…

-I'll see you guys later, yeah?

-Yeah.

-All okay?

-Hmm, yeah.

-I have to go to the office now.

-What happened?

Nothing.

He's also leaving.

-Come on!

-Hold this. Hurry up.

Why are you so late today?

I told you there was a party.

Party!

Were you also partying?

Hey! Don't try to sweet-talk me.

Come on drive.

-My sweetheart.

-Come on, start the car.

-Is this okay?

-Yeah! That's better!

An accident in Amritsar

or a m*rder in Amritsar?

And who's behind the m*rder?

I mean, who are

the manufacturers of Modella?

We've just received news

that the court has entrusted

drug agency FDSCO

to investigate the case of Bibi Parul Kaur

of Amritsar without any further delay.

But the real question is,

what was the Federal Drug

Control Organization doing until now?

Did the FDSCO really not know anything

about this ill*gal drug?

Or is it possible that they are in fact

hand in glove

with these pharmaceutical companies?

Easy, easy. Slow down.

It's a car not a rocket.

But I'm still learning, right?

So use the damn indicator.

It's not there for show, okay?

Why don't you teach me

the way you teach your other customers?

Don't scream at me

just because I'm your girlfriend.

Hey, hit the brakes!

Stop the car!

-Hey!

-f*cking b*tch! Stop!

SOHUM MOTOR TRAINING SCHOOL

Who are you calling a f*cking b*tch?

Hey, just get out of the car

and take this bag.

No one should see you.

But it's raining heavily.

So what? It's just a little rain.

You're not gonna melt.

What's in the bag?

I'll tell you everything tomorrow.

Now just hurry! Go! Go! Go!

MAHARASHTRA POLICE

So, Mala, late again today?

Hmm. Your father forgot

to set the alarm for me last night.

Now mind your business.

Idiot.

-What is it?

-How are you, darling?

Okay, fine, don't talk.

Just tell me when is your birthday.

Why do you want to know?

-You'll cut a cake at the police station?

-Come on!

Forget about last night.

Tell me when is your birthday.

-Go to hell! I don't wanna talk to you.

-Hey, just, wait, wait.

I need the bag I gave you last night.

Don't cut the call.

I got a surprise birthday gift

specially for you.

Can I give it to you today?

-Come on, baby. You want it?

-You're never gonna change.

I'm already late. I have to go.

Mala, what are you doing?

-Look here. 301, right?

-Yeah.

-Kulkarni will get the powder by mistake.

-Oh! Sorry, sorry!

It should've been put here in 404, right?

-Sorry, sorry.

-Be careful.

Sorry! Sorry!

Things were easier

when we had few customers.

But be careful now.

Getting more customers

is good news, right?

-Hmm.

-Our magic powder is worth more than gold.

I think this is the best time

to expand our business.

-Yeah.

-You know what?

-What is it?

-Listen.

I have a really good idea.

What idea?

You know what we should do now?

Go outside VivaLife society.

I mean all over Thane.

Once they get a taste of it,

they'll forget everything else.

If you're okay with it, I'll ask Santosh

to get new customers for us.

You told Santosh about this?

Why? Was it a secret?

Of course not.

Go and tell everyone about it.

Get posters printed.

"Raji's special powder.

Spice up your sex life--"

Ba, checked your sugar level today?

-It's normal.

-Okay.

Big mouth!

Okay, so you were

the first customer of my powder.

Did you ever tell Hari bhaiya

anything about it?

But that was different.

He really has a problem… had.

It's all okay now.

Relax, didi. Nobody talks openly

about bedroom problems.

Santosh shared this wisdom

with you as well?

-Good morning, madam.

-You can't do this every day.

If you can't make it on time tomorrow,

then don't come at all.

Okay, I'm coming.

I have to go.

Varuna, that witch, is screaming at me.

-Oh--

-I need to go.

Okay then come soon.

-Vichu!

-Amma?

Come, the breakfast is getting cold.

-I can't find my badge!

-…team in my office by 9.

The Food and Drug Department

is sending someone. Find out who that is.

And listen, not a word to anyone.

Do you understand?

All this is happening

because of the Modella case, right?

-What does VivaLife have to do with that?

-Varuna, you know very well I can't.

Last time, when the FDSCO

created problems in the Deprozol case,

I got you out of it--

I know exactly how you helped last time.

I've heard it a thousand times.

Shankar, if I'm experienced

and I'm trying to help,

then what's the problem?

Your experience is not relevant anymore.

And it's been eight years.

Can we please move on?

Mama, I can't find it!

Vichu! It's kept on the desk.

Madam, come. Breakfast is served.

Please help yourself.

Sir ji, that looks like terrible coffee.

It's poison.

It's horrible, sir. You should just…

No. Why don't you try this?

-What's this?

-This is imported, sir.

Oh, smell that aroma!

Straight from the jungles of Kenya

and right into your coffee mug.

-Hmm?

-Yeah.

-Hari?

-Yes?

I've told you many times,

it's out of my hands.

Look around you.

Everyone here wants a transfer to Germany.

There's already a very long waitlist.

Then help me cut ahead

of the line, sir. Please.

Four years is the minimum requirement.

-How long have you been in the company?

-Sir…

How long have you been working here?

It will be three years in six months.

Hmm.

Hmm.

-Nice. Want my advice?

-Sure.

Your imported coffee,

make some for Shankar sir.

If he makes a recommendation,

then I can somehow

push your application forward.

But I think he has

some bigger problems right now.

Hurry. The drug inspector

from the FDSCO will be here soon.

-Excuse me.

-Yes, sir?

I'm Ajit Pathak from the FDSCO.

-Who would you like to meet?

-Shankar Dasgupta.

All right, sir.

I'll make an entry. You can go ahead.

-Which floor is he on?

-Fifteenth floor, sir.

-Thank you.

-Okay.

Uh…

-Uh, what is this?

-Modella.

Uh, opioid-based pain medication.

The FDSCO has no record

of this drug at all.

Uh, and you know, it's being sold

in Punjab completely unregulated.

Uh, absolutely.

If you have any information

about this, then please…

As a company, uh,

we strictly follow

the guidelines set by the FDSCO.

And as per the rules,

we do not make any opioids

for the Indian market.

Yeah, it is banned in India anyway.

But you make this drug

for the American market.

Right?

There are over 30 pharma companies

in India that export opioids.

Thirty-six, actually.

And your company manufactures Stravinol

for America. Am I right?

You know, the USFDA regulations

changed in 2021.

That's when we stopped

manufacturing Stravinol completely.

You must be having the batch records.

Uh, actually, uh, there was a cyberattack,

uh, on our company's servers.

Oh. Attack?

Then, I'll speak to the logistics team

in the meanwhile.

I'm sure they also maintain batch records.

Uh, the breach was quite severe.

And, uh, that team is busy

trying to resolve it right now.

So you put together

th… this massive

welcome party for me, but…

they are not free?

Okay. Anyway, no problem.

I'm happy to wait.

Hmm.

Too good.

Very good. The tea is excellent.

-You know Ashwini from legal team?

-Mm-hmm?

She said that Shankar sir

is in big trouble this time.

No way. They'll pay someone

and sort it out. Not the first time.

The Supreme Court is keeping

a close eye on the FDSCO this time.

If they get

the slightest whiff of trouble,

your Shankar sir will be in deep sh*t.

My boy,

focus on updating your CV,

and not your visa application.

Germany isn't happening anytime soon.

Let's go.

-Uh, logistics team?

-Namaste. Yes, sir.

I just have a few questions for you.

Uh, it won't take too long.

I have been told that all of you are busy.

-Yes.

-Uh, uh…

-Mr. Patil?

-Yes, sir.

Huh?

Let's go. Oh my God!

Sir, sir, there is a fire in the building.

We need to leave the building right now.

The lifts have been shut down.

You need to move!

Hurry up! Hurry up, sir! Please!

Please hurry up.

Come on, hurry up.

I'll be back

to speak to you tomorrow.

Then you can decide

which section you would like to violate.

174, 179, or 186.

Sir, may I come in?

Hmm.

Sir, did the FDSCO officer… did he leave?

-Hari.

-Sir?

Do you know what's the most valuable thing

in the world?

-No, sir.

-Opportunity.

And very few people know

how to leverage it.

-Good.

-Thank you, sir.

POISONOUS SHADOW

BY SHIV JAMWAL

-How are you, Ba?

-I'm okay.

-Hari?!

-Good evening, my wife.

-Ba…

-How are you?

-How are you?

-Danke.

Danke?

It's time

to book tickets to Germany,

and all you can say is Danke?

-Really?

-Why would I lie to you?

-I found a way to the top of the waitlist.

-What waitlist?

The four-to-six-year waitlist.

You won't understand. What're you cooking?

-Rotis.

-Not for me.

I'm gonna have schnitzel

and roast for dinner.

Germany, here we come!

Hari!

-Germany, Germany.

-Hari, someone's at the door.

Let me answer it. Hari, Ba!

Make a cup of tea for me. Add ginger.

-Okay.

-Lots.

-Ba, let me get it.

-Namaste, madam.

Society notice for you.

Mrs. Tijori has sent it.

What is it?

We are not allowed

to do business in the society.

I have something on the stove.

Shobha moausi? Shobha moausi?

-Sorry, I'm late.

-Don't worry.

Kunni, let's go.

You've been working

so hard these days.

Why don't you take her along with you?

She can help you out.

It will be good for you.

Why would I need

help from her for my work?

If you have a problem

looking after her, tell me.

-Let's go, Kunni.

-Uh, Mala--

-Oh h*, Mala.

-Who does she think she is?

-Kunni.

-Hmm?

No matter what people say,

don't listen to them.

Hmm.

You go to school, study hard,

then you'll get a job.

Make lots and lots of money.

-Understood?

-Hmm.

You can buy a car. You'll buy one, right?

And then you'll take Mama

for a drive, won't you? Hmm?

Buy lots of new saris for me, okay?

Huh? Right? Tell me.

Tell me.

Kishore ji, don't you have anything

under 10,000 rupees?

We're just starting out,

and we don't have a lot of money--

Okay, one last option for you.

There's a studio apartment for rent.

But the deposit for that

will be 70,000 rupees.

-And we can share the registration, 50-50.

-Seventy? Seventy…

But we can give you

only one month's rent as of now.

-Yes.

-As deposit.

"We"?

-"We" meaning?

-Uh, both… both of us.

She's actually my business partner.

"Business partner"?

You finalize the deal.

-Didi. Let's go.

-Just wait one minute.

-Let me talk to him properly.

-Bloody idiot!

You f*cking beggar! Out!

-What did you just call me?

-Calm down.

-Get lost!

-Mad dog!

-Hey, you beggar. Just get lost from here!

-Kishore ji, I'll…

-I'll come back later.

-Beggar!

-Get a begging bowl next time.

-Mala?

-Why did you just walk out like that?

-He's such an as*h*le!

Why did you stop me?

I was just about to slap him.

-Why did you get so angry?

-Should I take his bullshit?

What's his problem?

Come on, Mala. Let it go.

What do we do now?

We'll find something, didi.

Let's go, bhaiya.

Bhaiya, Wagle Circle, please.

-Your budget is 12,000?

-No, it's ten.

I have a place that could work.

-Interested?

-Okay.

Kishore will tell you

that it's for 20,000.

He'll take a deposit of 50

and brokerage for one and a half months.

I'll get it for you for ten.

No brokerage and no deposit.

Works for you?

Yes or no? But yeah, all payments

come directly to me and I'll take cash.

-But what about the landlord?

-Don't worry about the landlord.

I'll manage all that.

-As long as Kishore doesn't find out.

-Fine, we'll take it.

We really need this, didi.

Yeah, okay.

Bhaiya, just take the next left. Yes.

Here it is,

Sankalp Siddhi building.

Come on, come on, let's go. Upstairs.

-I can't pay now. I'll pay you later.

-Okay.

-Hey! What are you doing?

-You're sitting in the way?

-Can't you see where you're going?

-I'll break your face!

Careful, didi.

Like it?

And you have no other options?

-No.

-Then it's perfect.

Dandekar ji, I mean, I'm…

I'm really counting on you for this.

If you really think about this,

then this is a m*rder case.

-Isn't it?

-Come on, Pathak sahab. Don't worry.

I'm giving you

one of my most capable officers. Preeti!

This is Ajit Pathak,

Federal Drug Control officer.

He's in charge

of the VivaLife pharma investigation.

I want you to assist him

on the case, okay?

-Thank you, sir.

-Huh? Come on, come on. Get going. Move.

-Okay, Pathak sir, all the best.

-I have a request.

Please give me one of the male officers.

VivaLife people are really crooked.

I've met them already.

Why're you getting

stressed about all this?

Preeti is one of our department's

finest officers.

She has put Thane's

most dangerous pickpockets behind bars.

Right? Am I lying about this?

Am I lying about this?

Come on, Preeti. It's time for action!

-Okay, all the best. Hmm?

-Yes, sir.

Uh, sir, reconsider, please.

Please, Dandekar sahab…

Hey, gorilla!

Stop grinning and file the complaint.

You can go over there.

The Q3 results haven't been

very encouraging.

So we'll have to look at… Oh, sh*t!

I'll handle it. Don't worry.

Uh, as of now, this is

the only waiting room we have available.

-So, I hope you'll manage?

-Uh…

There are no chairs?

Where do we sit?

Sir, this is a prayer room.

So we can't have any chairs in here.

So, your employees must think

you're the best boss, right?

I mean, which boss allows

40 out of 160 employees

to go on leave together?

Sir, they're

all on sick leave today.

Entire logistics team,

all fell sick together?

That's what I call teamwork.

And these are all the employees

that know about Stravinol

and have the data about the batch records?

Oh, I'm not sure about that, sir.

-I can check and--

-Keyur, it's 4:30.

Sir.

He needs to go for another meeting.

Do you need any more information?

Yes, Shankar ji, I had a few questions--

-Vinay, I think we're already late, right?

-Quite late, actually.

Keyur ji, Keyur ji, here, here.

Take a look at this.

-Employee code E474 is here.

-Yes, yes, sir.

And E476 is also there.

But look, employee code E475 is missing.

Any idea who the missing person could be?

Sir, can I take a look at that?

-Uh, Keyur, can I just have a look at it?

-Sure, sir.

Technical error.

Uh, it might be a technical error.

Maybe it's just a typo, sir.

Technical error.

-Keyur?

-Sir?

Let's go.

-I'll take your leave, sir.

-Hmm. Okay.

Si…

How about this?

We'll throw Shankar in jail for one night.

Two tight slaps,

and he'll confess to everything.

What do you say?

I'm sure you know

all that happened at the meeting today.

I don't know any details.

No problem.

Vinay will fill you in the details.

Sure, sir. No problem.

Look what I found.

Where did you find this?

Be honest, don't you miss it?

What mess are you trying to clean up now?

Hmm. Never mind that.

I want to know how Sitara's doing.

Good. Planning to open

another branch in Mumbai.

-Not bad.

-Yeah.

Then Delhi, Bangalore…

London, Paris, who knows?

Go for it.

Hi, guys. Sorry to break this up.

-Can we, uh, have that meeting now?

-Sure. Yeah.

-Hmm.

-All right. Excuse me.

You should laugh more often.

Come on, guys. Let's start.

Madam, shall I heat up your dinner?

It's getting really late.

Why? You also have to go

for a meeting, huh?

Mad woman.

What is it?

Right now?

Just wait. Two minutes.

What's wrong with you?

You know I'm at work.

If that crazy woman realizes

I'm not in the house, she'll--

You talk too much.

Just listen to this first.

What's this?

Oh!

Looking like…

-I look like a movie star.

-Of course.

Show me what you've got.

Come to me, come to me, darling.

Why the hell are you laughing?

You crazy girl.

-I'm looking like a movie star.

-Of course.

Wait, I got something special for you.

See what I got for my movie star.

-It's for me?

-Who else?

Ooh!

Thank you.

It's imported?

-Yeah, all the way from Manali.

-Oh!

-Manali?

-Yeah.

What is this?

It's a new business idea for you.

You're selling those special powders

to make some money on the side, right?

Now sell this stuff for me.

-I'll give you 5%.

-Have you gone completely mad?

This dabba business we're doing

isn't mine alone.

I won't let Raji didi go to jail

for the sake of your 5%.

Why would Raji didi go to jail?

You're mad or what?

Let me explain how this works.

-Ruined the whole mood, bloody as*h*le.

-Hey! Wait!

You're leaving?

Stop it!

Stop sh**ting the video! Idiot!

Hey, don't act shy.

Just come here.

-Santosh!

-Just come to me.

Oh, you're back? You were in such a hurry.

-Give the phone.

-No, I'll not.

Stop your nonsense.

Give me the damn phone.

-No! I'll hit the send button by mistake.

-Give me!

-Stop. Stop. Stop. Wait. Wait.

-Don't screw with me, okay?

Give me the phone!

as*h*le!

Why did you force me

to come here in the pouring rain, tell me?

Why don't you settle down first?

What do you drink? Whiskey, beer, vodka?

-What?!

-Such a short temper?

How will we ever be able

to work together like this?

We are not working together at all.

This is an FDSCO case.

Then, why did you reach out

to the police for help?

How was I to know that Dandekar

would dump some random officer on my case?

Dandekar sir

was telling the truth.

Yes, I've caught a few petty thieves.

I've even chased

stray dogs off the streets.

But that doesn't mean

that I'm not a capable police officer.

I… I didn't mean to say that. Sorry.

-I, uh…

-It's okay.

-Should I order a beer?

-What?

-Waiter? Two beers!

-No, no!

So, Modella has Fentalyn.

Now, what is this Fentalyn?

-Fentanyl.

-Yeah, but what is it?

-Opioid.

-Opioid means what?

-Do you know what heroin is?

-Yeah. That you inject yourself with, no?

That's opioid.

Made from opium.

Fentanyl, compared to heroin,

is proven to be ten times more addictive.

And it's just not addictive,

it is extremely deadly.

In America, Fentanyl kills

40,000 people every year.

40,000.

That sounds extremely dangerous.

And if the FDSCO doesn't manage

to stop ill*gal distribution,

this drug will very soon

destroy our country.

But isn't this Modella being sold

in Punjab's black market anywhere?

So what are you doing here?

Where it's being sold, forget that.

Where is it being made?

That's the question.

Fentanyl can be made

by pharmaceutical companies only.

In India, only five companies have been

given a license to manufacture it.

You mean VivaLife?

They're definitely

hiding something from us.

They are just not willing to cooperate.

And the FDSCO cannot take any action

without us having concrete evidence.

Then you're not going to

find anything here.

But yeah, how Modella stocks

made it to Amritsar in the first place,

should give us a lead.

I think you should go there.

And leave them unsupervised?

I'll keep an eye on them for you.

You don't worry. Just go to Amritsar.

No, Preeti. There has to be another way.

Si… sir, where

did the accident happen? There.

Where is Modella being sold? There.

Don't you think you're wasting time

trying to find something here?

I'll find out for you

who this employee number E475 is.

Just give me one chance, sir.

-What if you do something silly?

-I won't, sir.

I promise.

Please.

Ma'am, should I repeat the order?

-One chicken manchow.

-Okay.

One by two?

-One by two.

-Okay, ma'am. I'll just get it.

Thank you.

-You like this video?

-Yes, I love cartoons.

I'll search for more cartoons.

Your party is over so soon?

Did you finish your homework?

Come on, go home now.

-Mum--

-I said go home!

Hey! Why're you taking your anger

out on the child?

I knew that you'd come around.

Now, go give her some food.

She's really hungry.

Stop worrying so much.

I'll send you delivery locations

on the phone.

Make the delivery, get the cash.

Enjoy your life.

You hit the jackpot, Mala.

Thank me later.

SANKALP SIDDHI

-What happened?

-Huh?

What's wrong with you?

Why are you so lost?

We're out of papad.

So tell me that.

I'll bring some. Hurry up.

Yeah, take this. Enough.

I'm not gonna pay you more than this.

Hey! Hey! Stop!

I said, stop right now!

What are you doing?

There's a speed limit of 5 kilometers

inside the society.

What if I would've met with an accident?

But nothing happened to you, right?

So why the useless drama?

How dare you talk to me like that, huh?

Hmm, looks like you

all have started the business again.

Didn't Raji get the notice

I sent to the house?

Yeah, she got it.

I'm only making a delivery.

-Want to send a notice about that?

-Ooh!

Don't forget, you're just a servant, okay?

If you act too smart with me,

I'll make sure you and this daughter

of yours never enter the society again.

-Don't drag my daughter into this or--

-Or else what?

Careful, madam.

I'm Tejaswi Tijori. What can you do to me?

Huh? Come on. Tell me.

Th… threatening me

with a slipper?

Pu… put that slipper down.

Just wait. Wait and watch.

Just see what I do.

Shahida?

-Coming.

-Come here.

Yes, what is it?

You know the Sankalp Siddhi flat,

the one on the second floor?

Show it to them.

Mala, check the kitchen properly.

Listen, I don't enjoy coming

to the police station to file complaints.

But this servant, Mala,

she came into our building.

-It's a respectable place.

-Calm down!

-That's the reason I'm here.

-Okay.

-That was a crime!

-Stop, okay?

Uh, who is this Mala?

Why don't you understand?

VivaLife Society is just

ten minutes away from here.

Why don't you come and take a look?

What's the name of your society?

VivaLife Society.

Leave it to me. A cup of tea?

SANKALP SIDDHI

Stop here, bhaiya. Yes, here.

Come on, Aunty.

Actually this building is quite old.

It looks like

it hasn't been painted in years.

-No problem.

-We don't mind.

Hurry up!

What's taking you so long?

-We need to rush.

-I'm coming. Just finished, didi.

-Oh no!

-It's okay, puttar.

This way we won't need to go

to the gym also. What do you say?

Correct. Let's take the stairs.

-Okay.

-Come, let's go.

-Where are you?

-Coming.

It's not the best flat on the market.

-They've not bothered to maintain it.

-Don't worry.

Look how the paint

is peeling away.

-Okay.

-Don't look at the bathroom.

-It's filthy.

-No problem, puttar.

-There's a room over there, right?

-Very nice.

We'll need to get it cleaned.

That should be done.

-What is this, puttar?

-Huh?

What is this?

Uh, it's… it's green tea.

Green tea?

You know nowadays,

this green tea is a big thing.

-Nobody wants chai.

-Chai is the best.

Exactly.

-So, I was saying…

-Tell me.

We just have to get it cleaned.

Hello, Raji.

Oi!

Where's your mother?

Piece of sh*t!

Come, I'll give you a lift.

We make two types of dabbas.

One has normal food in it,

and the other has a packet

which has Vidhara herb.

Our clients love it.

But we only sell it

to the ladies in the building.

Mala is a little crazy.

She wants me to sell it to men.

-But what's the point--

-What do you mean? Women smoke this?

Smoke?

Who said you're supposed to smoke it?

Women give their husbands this powder

by secretly adding it to food

or milk at night.

You're not married.

That's how you don't get it.

Oh madam, what?

Are people having weed smoothies now?

Do I have "fool" stamped across my face?

Are you actually serious right now?

Weed? Uh, what weed?

What weed? This damn weed, okay?

Where did this come from?

What are both of you doing here?

Sh… Shahida, this is not mine.

Me… means, I don't know--

What do you mean you don't know?

-I just found it.

-Shahida, believe me.

-I don't know anything about this.

-Don't lie! Where did this come from?

-We only cook in this place. How am I--

-Shut up!

-Where did you get it from? Answer me now!

-I swear I don't know anything about this.

-If I get in trouble because of you--

-I…

Let me call Mala. One second.

Hello, Mala--
