My name is Uday Shetty.
I work for the Mumbai Police Commissioner.
Six years ago, Rasheed Khan devised a plan to kidnap me,
which was executed by Sub-Inspector Abhijeet Kaale.
I wasn't abducted or made to disappear by force.
I was an accomplice in this plan.
For the last six years, Rasheed Khan and his gang of ex-cops like myself
have been involved in extortion, murder and blackmail.
Rasheed Khan's tenure in every city of the state
is littered with such incidents.
In six years, Rasheed Khan has made me kill so many people
that I've lost count of them.
Nice jacket.

Searching for customers around you.
Client located.
Charlie?
Did you book a cab?
Yes.
Mask?
Your name's Kennedy?
Yeah.
But why "Kennedy U.S."?
Aren't your uniforms supposed to be grey?
You're wearing blue.
It's not compulsory.
How's it going, Shetty?
Where's the sanitiser?
Gotta keep one's hands clean!
Alright, let's head to Kala Ghoda. Time to collect some money!
Here's the cash.
Is that the full amount?
O starry moonlight
O beautiful sights
O hummingbird in the blooming orchard
Go, die!
O friends and mentors
Kings, queens, and jesters
Be gone, goodbye!
O starry moonlight O beautiful sights
O hummingbird in the blooming orchard
Go, die!
What did she say? How do you know her?
Over a morsel of meat
Slogging for two square meals
Over a morsel of meat
Slogging for two square meals
My beloved has been slaughtered
My beloved
has been slaughtered
How much is it?
The usual, sir.
O idols of silver
O seats of power
O idols of silver, O seats of power
O highest of peaks from earth to sky
Fall and crumble!
Didn't the boss call you?
There's a lockdown on. We have many mouths to feed!
Look at the scant crowd, sir.
The rules prohibit us from operating beyond 30% capacity.
One tiny slip-up, and we'll get busted.
A few days ago, someone shot a video inside Trinity club.
The owner was arrested and fined.
That man is finished, sir!

This pandemic has been more than a windfall for you, sir:
It's been a full-on cloudburst!
Now spare a thought for us small fries.
Your home is in Maharashtra.
Your laboratory is here too.
This is where you live, make your money,
where you host your fancy parties.
Every time the world has been gripped by disease,
you've made a killing with your vaccines!
Did you send a car for Madam?
Yes, sir. She'll meet you directly at the airport's private entrance.
Are you listening to me, or talking to someone else?
I'm here.
Look, if you want...
we can keep the state happy without the centre finding out.
After all, you control the means of production.
Listen, commissioner.
I'm in touch with the Chief Minister and the Central Health Ministry
and the Supremo in Delhi, personally.
Whatever it is, is between them.
So don't even try to extort money using the circumstances.
He bloody hung up on me!
Oh man...
this lockdown has really screwed us over.
Do you know what our monthly collection target is?
If the clubs, restaurants and bars hadn't reopened, we'd be f***ed.
Every single day, from Mumbai alone,
we have to collect at least 3 to 5 million rupees,
or else we're finished.
I'll be f***ing suspended again!
Kaale.
Any news of Saleem?
He pretends to be a tiger, but he's really a pussy!
He doesn't have the guts to return to Mumbai.
He only sneaks in to attend funerals.
Last I heard, he was in Lesbian,
in Portugal.
Recall your kill count!
Recount how you relished it?
Open the passage to Bandra, two ambulances are approaching.
Patrol car needed in Dadar for crowd-control.
Crowding in containment zone, sent patrol car to Dadar.
Recall your kill count!
Recount how you relished it?
What price did you put to each corpse!
How much did you earn?
Who is she?
Wait a minute.
I live here.
Lower your mask.
Flat number?
2503.
OK. Priya, let her pass.
- Did forensics check the body? - Yes, sir. They told us to take it.
Go!
You seem to follow me everywhere!
Do you live here?
Is that your flat?
Myself, Sub-Inspector Kaale.
You weren't home last night?
I know, but I have to ask... It's protocol.
I want a drink. Do you want one?
You're not from India, are you?
I'm Indian. Is that not enough?
- Has there been a burglary? - No...
A murder.
Who died?
Your upstairs neighbour.
You're on the 25th floor, East, he was on the 26th floor, West.
Right above you.
Shinde, do you read me? We need three hospital beds midtown.
Three patients, no beds. Shinde, are you there?
There are three beds in Worli. They can be shifted there.
Check all their details first.
No one should get preferential treatment.
COVID rules must be followed strictly.
Don't stand out there!
I told you to come early. Can't you ever be on time?
I'm here, that's not enough for you?
Why are you being so mean, Akbar?
You know how pissed I get when you make me wait!
My mother held me up.
I concocted an excuse to escape.
Akbar?
Will you take me shopping?
- Huh, Akbar? - Yes.
Will you take me to the mall?
The last time we fought,
whose fault was it, baby?
Mine.
You'll take me shopping, right?
Akbar?
If you come,
you're gone.
Didn't your parents tell you to always wear a mask?
You're Saleem's nephew, right?
Tell his family,
Uday Shetty says "Salaam".
Did you ask his name before killing him?
Do you even know why you killed him?
Hey, Rambo!
Killing Akbar won't get you Saleem.
Get in, or I'll blow your brains out!
Here, Shetty. Speak to the boss.
So, officially, now... you're dead.
We'll figure out how to deal with that.
As for Saleem...
I'll bring him to you.
OK?
Aditi!
Oh sorry, you're in class.
I'm going out. Shall I get you something to eat?
Listen! She just went out.
Do you want to see 'Dune'?
Not at the cinema, silly! I downloaded it.
They say Mumbai is where lies the crown
I look for the king, he's nowhere to be found
I'm an atheist, a pariah in this town
A deep and murky ocean, Gotta try not to drown
The roads ain't wide Bad boys out for a ride
Hot blood, instant rage Cause a riot everyday
When I'm flat broke, I eye everyone's cash
But try to rip me off and you'll get thrashed
Coconut chicken gravy for the tenant upstairs!
Didn't ask many questions but got tons of replies
Fake, fancy f***-wits living fake, fancy lives
We weren't born equal but we're all gonna die
Blood, sweat, cash, fame, it's either that or jail
