11th Hour

I am Aratrika Reddy.

This is my story.

Sometimes the smallest steps you take, though in the right direction, land you in problems

Only when you step forward with confidence,

…will those problems be solved-says my mom.

I love my mom.

My entire world revolves around my mom and my son, Yash.

My dad, Madhusudan Reddy.

Money, business and my brother Aditya he knows no other world.

I want that doll.

But it’s mine! I don’t want to give.

Dad! I want that doll.

Huh!

I want it.

My heir!

My Dad hurt my mom throughout her life.

Didn’t I warn you not to interfere in the factory affairs?

How many times?

How many times?!

Mom!

Dad!

Open the door, dad.

Dad! Please don’t hit her!

- Dad! Please open the door! - Do you want to enjoy power?

The day I stood up for mom,

…dad became my first enemy.

- Dad! Please! - Your place is at home!

Mom!

Ara!

Mom!

When I took over the company 8 years ago, little did I imagine,

...I would face a day like this.

Dad was dead against handing over the Company to me.

But Dad’s friend trusted me and helped me out in those dark times- Uncle Jagannadha Reddy.

Where is Aditya?

He is not in a position to come, brother.

He is out of hands.

Listen to me.

Aratrika is a shrewd person just like you.

She is hard-working.

She can sustain the business.

Don’t think further, brother.

This is the right decision if you want to save the business.

Please take my advice, brother.

Sign the document.

Please, brother. Sign it.

Aara!

For my sake, dear.

That one signature changed my life forever.

From that day, dad’s enemies became my enemies.

Using AHNR technology,

…it is my dream to provide clean and safe electricity to rural India.

But Dad’s enemies set it as their goal to destroy my dreams along with Aditya Group.

They have been struggling with that ambition past 6 months

We need to find the solution by tomorrow morning 8:00 clock

Or else it’s all over.

Welcome to the Big Debate.

Vijay Malya, Nirav Modi, Jet Airways, Aratrika Reddy-

Multi crore companies going bankrupt seems to become normal.

It is not surprising that Sundar Das, the new Chairman of Imperial Bank,

…cancelled the time extension to Aditya Group and issued a show cause notice.

For repaying the 10,000 crore loan by tomorrow,

…If Aratrika Reddy fails to show her plan of action,

…her Company’s properties will be seized.

Our today’s Big Debate is on the failure of the Companies led by Big Shots.

To discuss this,

…we have here with us in the studio, Imperial Bank Retired Chairman Mr Vishal-

…and the famous Financial Analyst Mr Ravindra Kumar.

Welcome to you both. So, Mr Ravindra, what is your opinion on this issue?

I am very glad that Mr Sundar Das has taken this decision.

At least, he has reacted quickly in Aditya Group’s issue.

In the present situation, the right decision is to close the Company down.

Mr Vishal! What is your take on this?

We are discussing a 20,000 Crore company now!

Pharma, Mining, Hospitality, Energy-

…Aditya Group is a pioneer in all these sectors.

30,000 employees work in this Group of Companies.

It means 30,000 families now depend on Mr Sunder Das’ stupid decision.

Such small problems in big companies are common.

Most importantly, we should take note of something.

To compare Aratrika Reddy with the others is unfair.

Banks had given six months’ time.

But Aratrika failed to come up with a solution.

We are talking about 10,000 crore public money.

If it is not recovered, they are answerable to the public.

Yeah, yeah. What you said is true.

But after Aratrika took over as Chairman,

…she expanded the Company to liquor, energy and more.

Give her some time and she will definitely come up with a solution.

So what do you say, Sir?

Is the Company’s present state...

…due to Aratrika’s obsession with nuclear fission technology?

You find it an obsession.

I call it a vision.

Because Advanced Hybrid Nuclear Reactor.

-AHNR- If it becomes successful,

…everyone in this country can afford safe and clean energy.

How many in India are able to make this promise?

Lots of people made such promises lots of times.

Practically speaking,

… before AHNR technology succeeds, the Company will go bankrupt.

So do you say liquidation is imminent?

Is there no one who can rescue Aditya Group before the deadline tomorrow?

Impossible!

No miracles will happen overnight.

Tomorrow Aditya Group will be shut down. Confirmed!

Thank you, Mr Ravindra.

Thank you, Mr Vishal.

Jyotsna is with us on live.

Thank you, Rishika. You can see the hotel behind me,

… in which negotiations on Aditya Group are taking place.

Feeling edgy about how this high stake drama will conclude tomorrow-

…employees, media and business circles are eagerly waiting.

We have information that investors and bankers are also in the same hotel.

You can see the police arranging barricades and stalling the media.

Everything was normal till an hour ago. This development now is annoying the media.

51% Madhusudan Reddy,

10% Aratrika,

5% Jagannadh,

8% Aditya and the remaining 26% is Voksa Group of Dubai, Sir..

You sent me some asset valuation papers. What about them?

8000 crores can e recovered from the company assets, Sir.

The remaining 2000 crores have to be collected from the client’s personal assets.

Have you closed all the offers?

We have gone through the Rexon deal along with Clarine, Sir.

We want to finalize after Aratrika takes a look.

Do you still have hopes?

It’s not going to happen.

So get the liquidation papers ready. - Ok, Sir.

Hmm.

I have only one solution-

Sheikh Pervez.

My mentor, business partner and investor.

He needs time to recover from his illness and talk to me.

Time!

That exactly is my problem.

Mom always had a smile on her face.

She would hide all her problems behind that smile.

I still wonder how.

SHEIKH PERVEZ RESIDENCE, DUBAI

- Excuse me, Doctor! - Yeah, sure.

Hello?

Taslima! Can I speak to him?

Not yet, Aara.

But he is getting better.

Don’t worry. I am on it.

Taslima, but please keep me posted.

I need to talk to him ASAP.

I am counting on you.

Sure. Don’t worry. Bye, bye.

Oh! So, Yash is asleep!

Ok, take care. See you.

Momma! I am not sleeping!

What’s up?

Why didn’t you go to bed?

I want a story, mom. Please!

It’s too late, Yash.

Please, ma.

Fine. Come on.

Yay!

So which story do you want?

Red Riding Hood.

Again?
