Wide eyes, smile on the face,
and dance.
See
-"The peacock"
-This is such a boring song, mom.
I performed on this
song last time as well.
But I didn't get selected.
Doesn't matter.
Forget the past.
This time we'll give much
better expressions and we'll win.
No one can defeat us. All right?
Will you do it one more time?
Shall I play the song?
Ganesh, all good.
Your dad is back.
Wash his hands.
Take this.
Pour the water.
Preparing hard, were you?
The TV dance show

Wait and watch, dad.
I will get selected this time.
You're not going.
But I went last time as well.
All day singing and dancing.
Make her study.
That will only help her. Give.
Dad straight away refused
and you didn't even
utter a word, Mom.
You only boss me around.
I practiced so hard.
but what's the point.
I'm not going to sleep
next to you anymore.
My dear
Don't cry with your eyes closed.
Imagine what brings
a smile to your face.
But dad will never
let it become a reality.
Again.
The guys from the hospital came
and grabbed Ramlal again.
Great. Great.
Are you asleep?
I'm very tired today.
I am also tired.

Sorry, ma'am. Sorry.
I mean seriously, Illiterate people.
Bloody slum rats.
I wonder who hires them.

That's the issue with night shifts,
makes you sleepy.
What if someone spots
me on the first day?
I fell asleep as well,
with the headset on.
I was snoring hard too
Are you serious?
I didn't hear you only.
I am Baldev Sanghal.
Krishna.
So, you're from here only.
I've been in Bangalore
for two years,
but couldn't learn Kannad properly.
Kannada.
Huh?
Not Kannad, it's Kannada.
That's what I said.
What are these guys doing here?
Are they on the night shift as well?
Preparing for tomorrow.
It's going to be something big.
How do you know?
They hired us paying double salary,
they must have planned something.
Prepaid plan.
You're going to monitor her.
You're so lucky.
She is very hot.
[background song]
Hello boys.
Welcome to Fetish girl's School.

-Is he mad?
-Who stopped it?
Banned.
You banned her?
-Who stopped it?
-Turn it on again.
He is mad.
This is a talent site,
not a porn site.
-Come on.
-What's your problem?
Neelya, you look
amazing from the right.
Try over there.
It's not about left or right.
People come to watch
my stunt, get it.
Better looks will get you more
diamonds from the girls
and hearts as well.
No man, these things
don't matter to me.
I've only one aim,
and that's what I'm going to do.
We'll see that once you're a star,
when dozens of girls flock to you.
I don't want it.
There is no one like my mom.
And the rest are
like that cheese aunty.
Psycho.
But she wasn't wrong.
Nothing good will
ever happen in our lives.
Same old neighborhood,
same old sewers.
We'll only get promoted from
one hell to another.
You're welcome to
die out here, if you like.
But I'm going
to take a leap, and a big one.
From this gutter to
a high-rise apartment.
From shack to the penthouse.
And what if that cheese aunty
turns out to be your neighbour?
So what?
She will know it's me.
Neelya left his stamp on her cheese.
Her Emmental cheese will
taste as someone spat on it.
Spat?
You spat on her cheese?
So, what. She deserved it.
What if we get caught?
We'll worry about that later.
If someone lays eyes on you,
I'll pull his eyes off.
And listen, be on time tomorrow.
You never get up on time.
I've to wake you up.
-For the ad, right?
-And where's Titu?
I've no clue.
Haven't spoken to him.
It's crowded.
So what?
I know, but you've got to travel.
[indistinct chatter]
Smoke.
No, ma'am.
Good. It's a bloody bad habit.
From Bangalore, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Born and brought up in Bengaluru.
I read your CV.
Trained software engineer.
Yes, ma'am.
Then why this menial
job as a moderator?
Some personal issues.
It's okay.
I completely understand.
Are you liking the job?
It's my first day today.
I'm trying to figure it out
Oh, you're figuring
it out damn well.
Thank you, ma'am.
Would you like to know who I am?
Army brat.
Over 30 years, dad
got posted to 16 locations.
All over.
I've been all over the country,
and met different types of people.
Especially
like you.
Ma'am?
You're wondering what
kind of a girl I am.
Smoking
wearing these clothes right?
No, ma'am.
Really?
You don't think that
we're the weaker sex?
You don't think we need your help,
guidance, or support.
I don't think that way at all.
Why would I think like that?
Then why did you ban Fetish Girl?
I was just following the rule.
No sexual content.
Did she violate
any of our guidelines?
-She was going to
-But she didn't.
She knows her limits.
Actually,
every female knows her limits.
Don't put your stupid conservative
personal ideologies here.
Now go and unblock her.
Ma'am, trust me.
You didn't see the comments.
It was very cheap.
Do you have any idea
how many diamonds fetish
got before you cut the feed?
2000 diamonds in five minutes.
That's 10,000 rupees.
We are in the business
of entertainment.
And business comes
before entertainment.
Tomorrow is the biggest day
for our company.
It's your first day today
and you can make it your last.
Ma'am
Yes, Ravi.
Yes, yes,
everything is under control. Yeah.
It's all good, yeah.
I am very sad today.
See
Escaype didn't ban me.
It was some idiot moderator,
who works at Escaype.
And hello, Mr. Moderator.
Happy to see me.
Now I'm back.
Don't ever come between
me and my fans again.
[indistinct chatter]
You want to spank me, Mr. Moderator.
Come on, spank me, spank me.
Spank me. Spank me.
So maybe that's the problem.
He can't fuck.
Oh dude.
So fuck off, Mr. Moderator.
What's up, guys?
The spider stuck
on your heart is back
And today's stunt is called
unbreakable eggs.
I've to get these eggs home.
Where?
See that house over there, guys.
Zoom it. Zoom it.
The ones near the orange flag.
I've to get there in under a minute,
and without breaking a single egg.
Or else my mom will kill me
So, guys, hold your hearts
and check your watches.
Turn on the timer.
One
Two
Get set
three!
Come on, come on!
Come on!
Aslam.
With one second to spare.
I had a lot of fun
Did you guys like that too,
tell me by sending diamonds.
Let's watch if the
eggs are broken or not.
Not a single broken egg, guys.
That was fun. And I told
you I'll do it under a minute.
Doing stunts
Neelya, you broke the eggs.
I'll show you.
Where are you going?
-Go get some eggs quickly.
-I'll get a beating as well.
I'll send someone with the eggs.
Your dad has to leave for work,
how will I make breakfast now?
Look, guys, that's my mom.
Say hi.
Don't we look similar?
Smile, mom.
Don't be shy, mom.
My mom's shying away guys, sorry.
Come on.
I told you mom will kill
me if I break the eggs.
I can't show you the
rest of the action sequence. Bye.
You should be embarrassed
jumping around like a monkey.
Not like a monkey. It's a sport.
Why couldn't you
pick a different sport?
Like Kabaddi, cricket, join the IPL.
Why do you do this dangerous sport?
Mom, don't worry.
Just watch.
Just one chance,
and soon from this one room kitchen,
we'll move directly to a penthouse.
-Really?
-Yes.
We'll be living in the
topmost house of the tower.
I see
From rolling in the sewers
to standing under a hot shower.
These sewers raised you.
Learn to be happy
with what you have.
You'll break your head
someday running around like this.
Already late for his job,
and hasn't even showered.
Learn to respect work and time.
To achieve something, one has to
match steps with time.
Did you get that?
I know your timings,
8 o'clock quarter, 10 o'clock sewer.
Neelya, go shower
I am going. I am going.
Mom leave
Call your uncle.
Okay.
Rani Singh.
-Put it on her chest.
-Okay.
Keep moving. Keep moving.
There he is.
Come on.
My mice, upcoming star.
Why don't you answer your phone?
Look at her number,
I don't think she will get a chance.
We'll fix that, sister.
Her uncle is here now.
-Are you ready, dear?
-Ready.
Sticker. Your sticker. Put on.
Mom made me practice
on "Morni" song.
-What?
-"Morni" song.
Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
Let's go.

-Rani Singh.
-Are you the parents?
-Mom and uncle.

It's already done.
We just wanted to ask how

We've been waiting
for quite some time.
Gitanjali.

Half an hour.
Wait over there.
Okay, fine. Thank you.
By the way, you have
beautiful eyes, ma'am. Like gold.
If you want to see the
golden city, feel free to ask.
Nandu Tour and Travels.
Do call. Okay. Thank you. Bye.
Nandu, you are fooling
people around.
Sister, the world is round and looks
better when it's going around.
It's your boy Darkie

I know you guys liked
yesterday's live, I know it.
And why wouldn't you?
We fucking killed it, man.
We killed it.
And on this note
your Dakie's got you,
a special, special, special,
fucking crazy opportunity.
You have an opportunity
to host me at your fucking place.
Look at me, I'm not kidding.
I'm fucking serious.
Darkie can live with you.
Just come live,
show me who the fuck you are,
how your place is.
How rich you are? Are you
my standard or not basically?
And I'll decide if I
can come and live with you.
But you know what, there's
just one fucking rule.
Just one fucking rule
and that is you can't be poor.
Be fucking rich.
Get to my standards.
And if that's the case,
Darkie's all yours.
Bye.
Make her stand here.
What's your name, dear?
Rani Singh.
Where are you from?
Revari village, Jaisalmer.
It's two hours from here.
And getting into this
show takes only five minutes.
Come on.
Music.
Rani you danced very well.
But you're too young
for this kind of dance.
Who is with this kid?
Me. I am her uncle.
Being her uncle,
you chose this song.
Disgusting.
Let her do steps of her age.
Why do you make her
look like an adult?
You're a small girl.
You're too young now.
So don't act like a big girl.
Uncle.
-Come here.
-Uncle.
It's alright.
That's how you become a star.
Come on.
That's my place darkie bro.
We can sleep under
the open sky, Darkie bro.
-No fucking poor people.
-Please come, Darkie bro.
Please come.
Hi, Darkie
Fuck off.
Hi, Darkie
Hi.
I have a 3 BHK house.
My house is empty for you.
Hi, Darkie.
I am kamrakhali.
-I've got
-Fuck off.
Hi, bro. Dhruv Chhada.
Big fan, bro.
I would love to host you.
Come over to my place
and we'll have a blast.
Come on, Dhruv, tell me.
How many cars?
Five.
Family members?
Three.
Who?
Me, mom and dad.
Sell yourself to me in three lines.
I've a gaming room.
It's got arcade games,
PS, and all the games.
I've a bar and you'll
have full access to it.
And I even have a pool.
Wait, let me show it to you.
See
You'll love it, bro, just come over.
Really looking forward
to hosting you, man.
Just come
It'll be lots of fun.
So, Nilesh, did you see this?
What you've done.
-See for yourself.
-I did, sir.
I've seen it so many times,
that I'm drowning in my own spit.
Sorry, sir. Very sorry.
Sorry, can't help you this time.
We'll take serious action.
Where is Sanjay? Come with me.
Is this what you
were taught in training?
You only taught us in training
to let go off our anger.
I did so.
Oh, act very smart.
Will you do the same with me?
You're the manager, sir.
Whenever I'm angry with you,
I swallow it.
You should've done
the same this time too.
I forgot to wear
the gloves by mistake.
I even apologised.
Yet she abused me.
You could've complained.
Why did you spit?
I can tolerate anything in life.
But she made me feel very small
I can't forget that feeling
for the rest of my life.
We could've talked.
We would've looked into the matter.
I can see how.
The truth is out here,
yet you're taking action against me.
What do you want to imply?
What?
She's a regular customer.
She's rich.
People who spend thousands every
month are more important for you
but not this guy
with such less salary.
Sanjay, take his uniform.
Keys and ID card.
Throw him out.
Sanjay, stay there.
If you mess with my salary,
I'll show you!
People are not getting jobs,
and you
I shouldn't have joined.
I am a software engineer, mom.
And what does my
software engineer earn?
Don't worry, I'll find another job.
Krishna, no one will
offer you a better salary.
What are you saying, mom?
Be quiet.
Did you tell your employees
that you're quitting?
Go back to work then.
Don't say a word. Sit quietly.
Iron his clothes Srini
and I'll pack his lunch.
-Hurry up, your shift will
start soon. -Mom.
-Mom
-Yes.
No one is more important to me
than you and Srini.
I just want to see you two happy.
I'll do anything you say, mom.
But I won't go back to that job.
Wait.
You can return these, can you?
You'll lose if you use wrong means.
What's the point of crying now?
She lost the competition
because of you.
Here. Cool down, it's alright.
Which song did she practice on?
"Morni"
And then?! You changed the
song at the last moment.
Only peacocks dance
to that song these days.
Not kids like her.
Western is in these days?
Right.
You wasted all my efforts.
-What will I tell her dad?
-Don't cry
And if he finds out what
song Rani's dancing to
I didn't lose because of the song.
They loved my dance.
They said I am small.
Am I small?
Even adults will lose against me!
I lost because I look small.
I want to be a big girl now.
I won't dance until
I don't become a big girl.
Do you think Tara won't go to Pakistan
because of a single document?
Those judges think they can
say anything to my little mice.
Will we lose so easily?
Look.
I uploaded Rani's video. See this.
She's got 5000 views and likes.
Look, come here.
Look those who upload
their videos on this app,
get diamonds when people like them.
Diamonds are
Yeah, they just keep sending it
Exactly. Exactly. Just like that.
We won't get it in hand.
The money will go to the account,
and the bank will pay us.
Don't you understand?
You didn't. You're confused.
Uncle, which app is this?
This is Escaype Live.
You will upload your
dance videos on it.

I'll make you and Jaisalmer
famous all over the world,
