Half Ticket

What did the lawyer say?

He is asking for another thirty thousand.

But we have already paid his fees.

He said he spent it on our case. I am not sure how true that is.

Don't drop your food on the floor.

Why don't you come with me?

He missed you on my last visit.

No.

You carry on.

Do you have enough money for the bus?

Sarsu's husband is going that way; I'll go in his rickshaw.

What a mess!

Wash your hands properly.

And don't roam around in the sun.

Come back soon.

Don't pick a fight with anyone.

Are you even listening to me?

Did you hear me?

You leaking tank!

You pee in your bed every night and hide your dirty pants!

Where will you go?

Hey, wait for me.

I'll deal with you when you're back home, you leaking tank.

I'll make you sleep on the roof tonight.

Pee all you want up there.

Your idea was a total flop.

You should have hidden your pants on the roof.

She would have never found it there. -Shut up.

You sneak rice from home everyday.

Should I tell Mummy?

Sure, go tell her. Leaking tank.

All grown up but you still wet your pants.

Shut up and hurry up.

Run... run.

Two more runs.

Hey, 'Crow Eggs'. Come play with us.

Caw...caw...caw...caw...caw...caw.

Any eggs in there?

Yes.

How many?

Three!

Get them all.

No. Let's divide them equally.

One for you, one for me and one for the crow.

Ok.

Bhai... I don't think Nana will come now. Let's leave.

Are you going on a 'hot date'?

No.

Then shut up and stay put.

Nana is here!

Hurry up.

Good morning. Hello Nana … How are you?

Namaste Nana

Hey Pokya, how is it going?

Fine Sir.

Chillar?

Sir these boys are from our neighbourhood.

Hello Nana ...

They run the cable network.

If you want to run an advertisement for your store, just tell them.

They will get it done.

They are useless Nana. Good for nothing.

Keep quiet. - Sir,

this hardly looks like ten thousand square feet.

Yes it is… you can check the documents sir.

Documents can be easily forged.

Look at our Vashi plot documents, Sir got it forged.

Sorry Sir.

Come on kids ... Let's go.

Hurry up!

Sir, our documents are clear.

It's very hard to find such an open, clear plot in Mumbai.

You are quite lucky to have found this one.

Ask Papa for a mobile.

Why should I? Ask him yourself.

Why are you telling me to ask him?

Don't you want one?

Oh yeah! As if you would let me play games on it.

Of course I will. Trust me. But you ask Papa for it.

You ate a crow's egg, didn't you?

No.

Wait here. He will come.

How are you?

Are you taking your medication on time?

You don't seem too well yourself.

I am fine.

How is mother?

She is fine.

She wanted to come along, but I asked her not to.

Are the kids here?

Yes, downstairs.

They aren't letting the kids in.

It's them isn't it?

Yes.

Hey, Boys!

That is Papa's voice.

What are you doing there?

We are playing with a cat.

They are playing...

Hey! What do you think you are doing?

This is a police station.

Sir ... They are my kids.

So, What's the big deal?

Don't shout out to them from here.

Papa, when will you get us a mobile phone?

Bloody brats... Bhandare tell them to shut up.

Shinde, shut those kids up!

Do they go to school?

How did your father land up in jail?

I don't know.

Why do they call you 'tutti frutti'?

As a child I used to work at a paan stall.

I used to eat all the 'tutti frutti' instead of putting it in the paan.

One day the owner thrashed me.

Since then everyone calls me 'tutti frutti'.

Have you got 'tutti frutti' for lunch too?

No, bread and vegetables.

Want to eat some?

No. Yuck.

My name is 'Crow Egg'.

Wow!

'Crow Egg'... 'Tutti Frutti'.

I'm "Little Crow Egg". He's "Big Crow Egg".

Just shut up or else I'll tell mummy.

Amazing!

What is in it?

Coal.

What?

Train coal... we pick it from the tracks everyday.

Oh, coal!

But what do you do with it?

We sell it.

Three rupees a kilo.

Sarang!

Whom are you talking to? Time up! Let's go!

Ok. Bye.

Bye.

Five kilos.

It is right.

Here.

Go get cake from Aunty.

Kesha Darling! ... How are you dude?

You buggers. Where did you get this from?

None of your business.

Just weigh it and give us the money.

This will bring the municipality to my door.

Kesha don't worry, we'll take care of it.

Idiot, will you be here if they come for me?

Of course! Tell him.

We have a lot of clout with the cops.

You know the cops?

Yeah.

Did they invite him to inaugurate the new lock up?

Don't bring such stuff to me anymore.

Kesha Darling ... give us the money and just chill.

Come in the evening... let's have 'little-little'.

Have some cake.

Aunty, can I have this watch?

Yes, take it.

Mummy when will we buy a TV?

We'll get one only when you stop peeing in your pants.

Why do you keep nagging him about it?

He'll stop when he grows up.

How much did you get today?

Fifteen rupees.

Mummy tell Papa to give us a mobile.

Once Papa is free, he'll get you one, sweetheart.

Ever since your visit to the jail you look quite upset.

What is the matter?

He has lost so much weight. I am worried.

Oh you're worried about him!

Shouldn't you be mad at him?

He landed himself in jail.

What is the point in getting mad?

I must get him out of jail.

Tell me if you know a way to get him out.

Go meet Chamdi. He is Nana's man but what a lech!

Nana is a busy man.

You think he'll see you just because you are here?

Mangya!

Is that your brother?

Hey! Nana is calling you. Can't you hear him?

Yes Ma'am.

Wait here, I'll be back.

Careful you idiot.

I have to manage the entire neighbourhood.

All thanks to me, or else they'll bring your shop down in a single night.

Give it to him.

Keep it inside.

Is that all of it?

These are four bundles.

Mr. Mujumdar, the boys tell me that your shop has many branches across Mumbai?

Not just Mumbai, we have branches in Pune, Satara, Navi Mumbai, Thane...

I guess you must be making at least twenty million every month!

Twenty... huh... It's forty just in Mumbai... and in Thane...

This is our man.

Get the tea.

What are they doing?

Cheering.

It's coming down.
