Lottery (Chumbak)

Lazy bugger!

Still sleeping like a pig! Move it!

Sharda.

Baalu!

Hello..

Baalu, our village bus standis starting soon. When are you coming?

Yes Uncle!

But you had promised to reserve the shop for me!

Ofcourse, don't worry.The shop is ours.

But everyone wants a pieceof this goldmine!

I have done all preliminary work.You just arrange the money!

By when can I pay?

If the money is ready,come right away!

Ok I have to go!

But..

Can you repair it?

Let me see. Disco, check it. - Ok.

I accidently spilled water on it!

Don't worry. Disco will fix it. - Disco!

Come here buddy.

Your phone's IC has crashed. We'll have to replace it.

It'll be 700 bucks. - Ok.

You can pick it up tomorrow. - Bro, can you give it today?

Looks difficult. Too much work as you can see.

Ok! But tomorrow for sure! - Sure.

Take this. - It's done?

Yea.

Just restart it, it'll work. - Ok great.

I'll be right back. - Alright.

So early? Half day or sick leave?

What's the treat today?

Pizza.

Disco, we have a problem!

What did he say?

What happened to him? Look at his face.

They have finally cleared the bus stand at his village.

So?

He has to arrange the money immediately for his shop.

How much? - 16,000.

And how much do you have?

6200.

No problem.

Disco, you give 1500. I'll pool in 500.

That will be 8000.

So?

So we can double it by the 10th of the month!

Hey, how will it double?

Which horse are you betting on?

Not betting. Just pure investment!

You guys never believe me..

See this..

Kuber Investments.

It's a Platinum scheme. Dhanlaxmi Platinum!

That's it. You have seen enough.

I had told you earlier also..

If you had invested then..

You would have had two shops by now!

Don't listen to him Balu. It's too good to be true.

Profit or loss, both are yours. There's nothing in it for me!

Are these your friends you were talking about? - Yes papa

How much is it?

8200.

Milind, make an entry of 8000.

Name?

Bhalchandra Shevale.

No! Shantabai Shevale.

Mom.

See, I kept my word.

Come on the 7th and collect the double amount.

Thanks uncle, Thanks Sheput..

Don't mention it, Baalu. - Let's go.

Hey Baalu..

..shouldn't there be a receipt atleast?

Mr. Bhalchandra, your receipt.

They do have a receipt. It's done!

See! Didn't I tell you?

Nice office dude..

AC, computer and stuff. - Of course!

Do you have a bathroom as well?

Toilet? - Come.

Where?

Hey..

Why don't you start your own restaurant instead?

What's in a juice stall?

No.. I have already decided.

Why are you so stuck with that?

Is there a hidden fortune there or what?

You know what, one day I also will have it all..

A nice flat in Mumbai, that too with attached toilet !

Stop day dreaming!

I am not kidding ! Wait..

And then we'll come to the mall, but to shop!

We will. But now, let's go!

Bhairavi didn't call today also..

I am not calling her again!

It was for today right? - Yea.

Correct. It's written.

What's that crowd for?

Please wait here..

Alright, bring me the file. - Yes Sir.

We know it was your money..

Take a look Sir..

Look, whoever these people were, they have absconded with your money!

Tell us how much each of you has lost.

Sir, I had invested -

2 Lakhs.. I have lost 2 lakhs sir!

All my gold jewellery Sir!

Our search is on! How could you invest so much blindly!

There, we have arrested his assistant

We will try our best to find them but it'll take time.

We can't assure you about your money.

Hey! What's happening there!

Take him before we arrest him too !

Stay away!

Or you'll get trashed!

Baalu, No !!

Again! How many times should I tell you to stay away.

Jerks!! Go away from here!

Get out of here.

Sheput was a friend! Was I ever mean to him?

Just because you were good to him doesn't mean he owes the same to you.

You don't bite the snake, but the snake still bites you, right?

Baalu..

..wipe your tears and learn from this.

Look at that man buying a bottle of water.

A 15 rupee bottle for 30 bucks!

He has been cheated! Even he should be crying. But is he?

You think he doesn't know he is paying double money for it?

He knows it very well.

He still chooses to buy the bottle for double the price.

That too with a smile!

This is how it works Baalu..

Here people pay 50 bucks for a 5 paisa cold drink..

Spend 40 rupees for a 20 rupee biscuit!

Everyone's being cheated! Yet they all are smiling!

You know why they are smiling Baalu?

Because what you call as 'Cheating'..

They simply call it 'Business'!

Today they will get fooled..

But tomorrow, they will sit in their AC offices and..

Sell a 500 rupee item for 5000, and fleece someone else!

Someone has done 'Business' with you Baalu!

Now you do 'Business' with someone else!

That's how the world functions Baalu!

Disco, which 'Business' will earn me 16,000 in a week?

Forget 16,000.. you can even earn 1 lac!

And our investment? Only 94 bucks!

Cheaper than a McDonald's burger!

We'll sell SIM cards?

Take your words back! Show some respect to the SIM!

This is no ordinary business..

Khacha (fraud) SIM. 2000 SMS free.

Put it in your mobile phone.

Don't worry. The number is untraceable.

I am sending you a text..

You forward it to random numbers.

But.. what does it say in English?

Big businesses always happen in English.

All I can explain in Marathi is that..

'You have won the Reserve Bank of India lottery for 10 million Rupees.'

'Transfer the 20,000 processing fee to our bank account and claim your lottery!'

What's the business in this?

Balu, this is a world-famous 'Business'!

'Nigerian Lottery Scheme'

Once the 20,000 is transferred to our bank account, we'll abscond!

But I don't have a bank account.

You shouldn't give a real one either!

Your dad had a bank account, right? - Yes.

We'll use that.

What if cops come to know about it?

Doesn't matter. Let them look for Pandurang Shewale..

And anyways it's good..

Atleast then they will look for your father.

Baalu, don't think so much.

More severe crimes happen here every day.

The cops don't have time to solve a mere 20,000 fraud.

Did Sheput get caught?

Pray to the Lord and go for it!
