Choona (चूना)

It will happen…

Bad times will befall you.

Time is always in motion.

No matter how much you calculate,

eventually, everything will come to an end.

And old enemies will rise.

Commit this time to memory.

And keep in mind, this tale began

-with a nightmare. -Madan Singh!

Madan Singh!

-Proceed. -Aren't you coming?

-Where is Bishnu? -He is inside.

All right.

Bishnu? Bishnu!

Listen… why did he call me so early? That too, in the bathhouse?

He's planning something?

I see.

Greetings, Mr. Shukla.

All well?

I had a bad dream, Pandit.

They say early morning dreams come true.

It woke me up.

Yes, I can see the redness in your eyes.

-It's not redness, it's anger. -Anger?

Luck is not in my favor right when I am about to do…

the most important thing in my life.

Time flows… but bad times cannot be avoided.

There were six such planets in Mr. Shukla's horoscope

which could totally change his fate.

These planets are the people whom Mr. Shukla has tormented

and made enemies of.

And enemies always seek revenge.

You have made far too many enemies, Mr. Shukla.

The alignment of these five planets

is against you.

It's not good.

You're here to fix that, aren't you, Pandit?

Yes, that's right. But Saturn in this planetary period…

It complicates matters.

And nobody has ever won against Saturn.

Ravana used Saturn as his footrest at his palace.

He held all nine planets captive.

You must be aware of that.

But I am certain his defeat occurred with Saturn in the planetary period.

-When does this period start? -At two o'clock tonight.

For the next three months, think only pure thoughts

and do morally good deeds.

Pandit…

I'm a politician.

There's no need to halt the planning.

You can plan all you want.

I am going to overthrow the government very soon.

When?

-How? -The plan is to buy three MLAs.

It will be a deal worth crores of rupees.

The money belongs to builders.

There is a possibility of larceny during this period of time.

Theft!

I have to do it, Pandit.

And the Chief Minister?

He is old news.

The next CM is sitting right in front of you.

Shift the planets around so there are no hurdles.

I have a solution. I'll give you two rings…

All ten of your fingers are occupied. Where would you add these two?

I'll give them to you on a black thread. You can wear it as a chain.

MR. CM CALLING

Sometimes, if you talk about someone behind their back,

they end up calling you.

Don't worry. I won't say a word about this to anyone. Really.

No wonder I couldn't find a countermeasure

for his inauspicious planetary period.

Is he trying out a remedy?

I perform a small ceremonial ritual for him at dawn.

But I'll skip it!

I'll tell him, I couldn't wake up on time.

I no longer wish to do it.

Mr. Shukla, you will be the next CM.

I'm telling you.

Just do as I told you.

My planetary period is currently in Capricorn.

So I donate fish. Similarly--

Madan Singh will drive you.

No, Mr. Shukla, I will manage.

Pandit, Madan Singh will drive you.

-Why trouble him-- -Madan Singh!

Go drop Pandit.

Understood. Let's go.

Come, Pandit.

What happened, Madan Singh? Why did you stop the car?

Did you forget the way to my house?

What happened? Tell me.

-I need to take a piss. -What? It's raining. Where will you go?

Where is he going to pee on this bridge?

But it was Pandit who was going to end up pissing his pants.

Are you done? Let's go.

-Any last words? -Please don't do this, Madan Singh.

I'll put a curse on you, I'm telling you! I'm a reputed--

He… shot… me…

Madan Singh doesn't drive anyone.

But he does drop them.

Forgive me, Pandit.

And he was talking about my bad planets crossing paths.

Where do these bad planets meet?

Where did Ansari and the contractor J.P. Yadav's planets meet?

Where do such people meet?

Sir, this is the last drink. The bar is about to close.

-Shukla Motherfucker! -Shukla Motherfucker!

Shukla who?

There's only one Shukla Motherfucker.

Your stars decide your luck in politics.

And on the strength of these very stars, Shukla is flying high.

Any land Shukla lays his eyes on becomes his.

-Swachh Samaj Party! -All hail!

-Swachh Samaj Party! -All hail!

-Swachh Samaj Party! -All hail!

-All hail… -Avinash Shukla!

His welcome party may be small right now,

but his stature is equivalent to the Chief Minister.

He is the Minister of Urban Development.

And his Swachh Samaj Party

is planting its flags everywhere.

-Hey, hold this. -Hey, move back! Come on, move back!

-You come here. Hold this -Make way!

Waving a flag around won't win us the election.

You are a disgrace to the Swachh Samaj Party.

What happened, sir?

I saw from the plane what you've done to my constituency.

There is squalor everywhere.

I'll have to open a mall or a housing society here.

What are you waiting for? Let's go.

The constituency must be transformed.

Come on!

PATHAANI TOLA

Pathaani Tola.

Fencing happened overnight in front of this thirty-year-old slum.

And hoardings for some Jupiter Mall came up.

Now, the residents of this slum are confused as to why

anyone would build a mall here.

We need to uproot these people from here, Asthana.

Okay, sir.

We've sold this land to Shenoy. They're going to build a mall here.

What? Sir… The government won't allow this.

I'm going to overthrow this government.

What about the residents of this area?

They'll create an uproar, but eventually, they'll leave.

Rastogi will handle them.

Yes, Sir! I'll get to work as soon as I get the order.

Sometimes, you should get things done on my signal alone, Rastogi.

Sir, the work won't stop. It's okay if we get the orders later.

I want this entire area empty within six months. Do you understand?

Okay, sir.

Forcefully evicting the population of such a large settlement

could only be done by the government.

Mr. Mishra! Support my motion, understand?

So Mr. Shukla got busy trying to get the motion passed.

-Namaste, sir! -Of course!

-I am also with you. -Oh? Where were you?

Mr. Dubey, it's better if you moot it.

You barely have one and a fourth of an MLA.

-Our motion must pass. -Yes, sir.

-See you. -Those who support them stay alive.

Two MLAs who opposed them died "by accident."

The Pathaani Tola redevelopment proposal was passed.

Shenoy Builders of Shenoy Properties got this contract.

This is the Pathaani Tola land parcel

where we want to propose a mega project.

Every builder builds housing societies nowadays…

but we're planning to build malls here.

You can't imagine the boost your political image will get

when you inaugurate this mall at the ribbon cutting.

While narrating the story of Pathaani Tola, Ansari…

No, he didn't have a heart attack. He just felt some chest pain.

-Your wounds seem fresh. -Not fresh, they are very old.

The enmity began with my uncle.

Shukla got Faulad Singh killed.

Faulad Singh was like an uncle to Ansari.

He was responsible for either creating problems in the area or solving them.

Shut up! You guys show up here every day!

Don't you have anything better to do than argue?

Come on, higher!

It's not that heavy, Uncle.

Faulad Singh's bike used to look tiny in front of his seven-foot-tall stature.

Faulad Singh raised Ansari.

Today, he rides Faulad Singh's bike.

Nowadays, Ansari Sheikh is famous for his infamous acts.

For his party, his boys thoroughly thrashed

the President of the Bazaar Union, Saifuddin.

The party Ansari is affiliated to

is less of a political party and more of a mafia gang.

MAACHIS

Perhaps this is the reason why their election symbol is a matchstick.

-Mintu Bhaiya! -Happy birthday!

-Their leader is a thug of short stature… -Mintu Bhaiya! Happy birthday!

…who has been nicknamed, not out of love, but out of terror,

"Mintu Grenade."

Brother, Arunoday has got a gun now. He always shows it off.

Hello, brother. How are you?

Hey! Brother, give the gun back!

So trigger-happy is this party…
