Hina
Hi, I am Mala.
I am the owner of this restaurant.
She can't even put a
cake on the table properly.
I mean, what is her problem.
I understand.
Don't worry,
I know it's a big day for you guys,
and we'll take care of everything.

Cut it! Very nice shot!
Pack up!
Darkie Boy,
this roar was very funny.
What the fuck is wrong
Easy, easy, your green tea.
Darkie, thank you
so much for shooting.
I'm alright.
Dhruv, come on.
I am fine.
Sure.
I'll click it.
You know, Dhruv looks
really happy with him.
Yeah, but something's
not quite right here.
Thanks to that app,
he's in our home.
But what's his real name,
where's he from
As per Dhruv, he has only one name.
Darkangel aka Darkie.
We must find out more about him,
and we really need
to have a talk with Dhruv.
I've stalked him on Escaype.
He's got seven million followers.
Imagine. Seven million.
-Really?
-Yeah, I am telling you.
-Seven million. What are you saying?

You guys are leaving?
Okay, bye.
I'll see you in the evening.

-They paid 50,000.
Only 20,000 more are pending
for the locations, that's all.
Is this your house?
Yeah.
It's lovely, it's fantastic.
What about Escaype?
Yet to receive 300,000.
The payment will be released
only after the contest.
I had a word with them. All sorted.

Which friend?
Bhavya. Remember she

Guys, task completed before time.
And guys,
someday my life will take a turn.
Only your love can make
me win this competition.
So, keep sharing diamonds, guys,
and I will keep setting
this place ablaze.
As number 1.
Hey stupid!
You got fired from
this job as well.
Didn't you?
Come inside. Come on.
Bring this inside, come on.
Guys, don't worry.
This is just routine.
See you guys later.
Bye.
Keep this over there.
And get me that bundle.
And deliver it to Blue
Heaven building. Go on.
Father, this is not my type of job.
What do you mean not your type?
You mean jumping around
like monkeys is better.
And this job that provides
us with food and respect,
is embarrassing for you.
Don't make excuses. Get to work.
I want to win the
competition, father.
And parkour is my talent.
I will, father, just watch.
You
Listen, Mr. Talented,
a whore's reputation
decides her customers.
And you're not even worth a dime.
Not even if you offer
money in exchange.
Understood.
I don't
Another excuse and
I'll mop the floor with you.
Come on.
Come on. Get to work.
You are
In real
Baby
I am not a baby.
I am a big girl.
Nandu.
Here you go. Last month's rent.
Ma'am, you're like family.
No, Nandu,
we're different individuals.
We work together
but we should have
different identities.
Take this.
God this is what
Nandu likes about you.
Love and business always separate.
Thank you.
Take this.
Calli
Nothing.
Nandu, you're so shameless.
You took money from her as well.
Uncle
Uncle Nandu.
When will my points increase?
This is not done.
How can I win the
competition like this?
Show me.
But you are, child.
You're getting so many diamonds.
It will happen over time.
Here.
I want to win the
competition at any cost.
-I see you want to win.
-Yes.
Then, child,
just follow those who are on top.
See what they are doing.
And you will learn.
Simple.
See how well she sings.
Listen carefully
What a melodious voice.
j& Neither he understood nor me. j&
Nandu Tours and Travels speaking.
Hello.
Hi, this is Krishna Rangaswami
from Escaype Live.
Can I speak with Dance Rani?
Yes, Escaype sir.
This is Nandlal,
Rani's uncle speaking.
I handle her account.
Mr. Nandlal,
Dance Rani is very talented
Don't you want to win the face-off?
Just find some girl,
kiss her and run,
that's how you'll win, bro.
So, I was saying
Dance Rani is very talented,
she can win this competition.
She can win this competition?
Do you mean she can win 30 million?
Yes, that's the specialty
of this competition.
Equal opportunity for all.
Means everyone's
equal and anyone can win.
Well Rani wanted to showcase
her talent to the world.
So, I posted her video online.
I posted the video on your app.
Yes
But I never imagined
she can win the competition.
She's too young.
Competitions are won
with talent and not age.
Now look
Rani's posting only
1-2 videos in a day.
Yes.
To win she has to post more videos.
We've millions of
contestants competing,
her video will be ignored.
My boy, how will you win
if you're scared of a beating.
Be daring.
Beyond fear there is victory, bro.
Do you understand what I'm saying,
Mr. Nandlal.
Yes, I understand.
I had another piece of
information for you.
Okay.
There's been a face-off
announced between contestants.
Face-off meaning?
Face-off meaning
Competing.
Each one will be
given five minutes.
The contestants will
come face to face.
Whoever gets more
diamonds will win.
Can I ask you a question?
I am Rani's uncle,
but I hope this
is not a prank call.
If everyone likes Rani,
then she will definitely
win 30 million.
The details will be sent to you.
In case of any problems,
you can call me.
Yes, sir. Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Goodbye, sir.
What did the Escaype guys say?
What?
They are saying that
Rani can win the competition.
Really?
Yes.
My mice, would you
like a chocolate mousse?
Yes.
Calli, make a chocolate mousse.
Okay.
My mice, will win the competition.
Come here. Bravo.
Keep going, do it, do it, come on.
Yes, come on!
Just kiss her and run.
Kiss her and run.
Yes
-You bastard!
-Yes!
Chaman Churan is my guy.
He did it!
He did very well.
Superb!
Yes.
-He ran off.
-He has guts.
Letting them kiss girls
without their permission.
It's not right, brother.
Why are you furious?
Don't give me this
bullshit about that girl!
Okay.
Bye.
It's a good thing your
sister isn't among them.
What did you say?
Would you be still smiling
if your sister was one of them?
What the fuck?
I know what the problem
is with you guys.
What do you mean?
I mean we're outsiders
and we do better than you.
You guys envy us.
Bloody Mallu.
Bro, you're in Karnataka.
I know. Don't bore me. Get lost.
All you guys are the same.
I see can you say
this outside the office.
I will what will you do?
-Come and say it.
-I will say it to your face.
-Krishna, what are you doing?
-I will say it to your face.
-Krishna, relax.
-Wait.
Hemant, calm down.
You tell that virgin
Mallu to calm down.
Listen
-Who does he think he is.
-I haven't done anything.
Krishna
You didn't see it.
He was kissing girls.
Can one do anything in
the name of entertainment?
-Calm down. I'll get coffee. Okay.
-So tell me
which one of these should I buy?
Get ready, boys.
Am I looking hot?
Aww thank you, Andy baby.
This one's for you.
Oops
This one's making
me do something wild.
How is it looking?
Not nice, right?
Next.
Nice, right?
But boys
how about something else?
Shimmy-Shimmy.
Do you want me to try more?
Fine. Then send me more
diamonds, boys, then
Come on, boys.
Excuse me.
What's going on in there?
I'll be right back.
Excuse me, who is inside?
Yes.
-Please come out.
-Yeah-yeah, one minute.
What were you doing in there?
Actually,
I was making some videos for
I know, I know
I heard.
You were showing
these to your clients?
And you
Can't you take a look at
her and guess what type she is?
Why did you give her
so many clothes to try on?
Disgusting.
Get out! Now!
And what are you waiting for?
Grab all the clothes.
Send them for dry cleaning,
right now.
Take it.
Excuse me.
Pack them all.
All of them.
Okay, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
Neelya, your father is right.
Enjoy only as much
stamina as you have.
Titu, stop chewing my brains.
Your father chews tobacco,
but you smoke cigarettes.
You're one step ahead of him.
But my father's the laundry guy,
I've to be like him.
Clean everyone's filth.
Neelya, you are right.
But Titu also has a point.
You're the one to speak.
In every toilet you write,
your destiny is in your own hands.
But when it's time to take
your own destiny in your own hands,
you can't figure it out.
Being born here
wasn't in my control.
But I can decide
where I want to be.
Your father is right.
What right?
What did you understand?
Tell me what you understood.
That you're worse than whores.
No one's going to come even
if you offer money in exchange.
His own father screwed him.
-Why you
-I'll show you
Stop wait
I won't spare you.
Stop it.
-Leave me Leave me
-Listen.
What happened?
What is it?
Face-off at 5 pm.
With Darkie.
Aamcha-Spider.
He's only got 13.7K followers.
And rank 236.
There's no comparison at all.
I don't think you
should fight with him.
Or maybe the Escaype
guys made a mistake.
Should I speak with them?
Funny, right?
Okay, yeah.
Late again.
Is this say to right
Mary, too much make-up now.
God knows what she does all night
with God knows what people.
I'm busy on the phone.
Not like you
You envy me, bitch.
Sharing a flat with her is a pain.
Girls. Lily, Suzy, Mary.
Service is starting.
What are you guys doing here?
-Hurry up.
-Yes, ma'am.
Where is Hina?
Ma'am, one minute.
You have to be on time, Hina.
-Yes, ma'am.
-So, hurry up.
This girl keeps her bag here.
Little more to the right, Neelya.
That's it. That's it, perfect.
Don't bend too much
or he'll screw your ass.
I am a big fan of his, how
am I going to face-off with him.
He's crazy and does crazy stuff.
We didn't come out here to lose.
No I want to meet him.
Just see
Neelya, it's 5 pm.
We're going live.
Yes.
-Ready.

Stop, stop.
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your attention, please.
What you're looking at here,
is a monkey ass.
And you're going to take that
ass and you're gonna fuck it up.
You know why?
Because I don't like you, bro.
Don't spare his ass.
You're so poor,
I don't wanna see your face, man.
You just fuck off.
Show him, Aamcha.
Darkie, I'm being nice
Okay, alright, shut up!
Listen up!
I got something.
Few words for you to hear.
You should know who
the fuck you're facing here.
Doesn't matter which
slum you crawled out of,
I've seen dozens like you.
Oh guys!
Even my shoes look better than you.
You claim to be my fan,
but you're my sycophant.
This is a competition.
If you can't take the heat here,
then don't fucking
stay in the kitchen, bro.
Jealous, jealous, jealous.
Throw in the towel, bro.
Hey, Darkie!
I'll show you who I am.
Here's some real competition.
That's what I fucking like
Come on, Aamcha!
Watch Darkie

j& [Rap song] j&
Diamonds are here.
What's happening, boys?
His diamonds are increasing bro
And ours haven't been accepted yet.
Try again.
Maybe the internet is down.
Now enough of this
fucking Aamcha boy.
Now it's Darkie time.
Come on, Darkie.
Come on, Darkie.
Come on, Darkie.
The diamonds are
not getting accepted.
Hello.
Ma'am, that was Darkangel's
agent on the line.
He says that his fans
are trying to send diamonds
but they are not getting accepted.
I think there's
some kind of an error.
Escaype live is completely
computer controlled.
There's no chance
for human error here.
Yeah!
You've won!
Darkie
watch me become number one!
Yes, ma'am. You called.
Close the door.
Yes, ma'am.
Do you want anything?
Advance, to send home.
No, ma'am.
Anything for your mom or sister?
Is your father okay?
Why? Did mom call?
No
No
I thought I should
ask since it's month-end.
Go.
Okay, ma'am.
Never do anything
wrong to make money.
Ma'am, you
Ask me if you ever need it.
I'm going over to a friend's place.
You can lock the restaurant
today after service.
Sure, ma'am.
Escaype Live.
You guys are playing some games,
I see
These days you guys
have begun to cheat.
I mean, it's a fucking
brilliant idea, right.
Get the number one
contestant for your app,
and make him face off with someone,
whose rank is in
fucking three digits!
Make them face-off and
make the number one lose.
Why?
So, the other guy shines.
Wow, brilliant idea.
Bravo.
But you know what,
you do not fuck with Darkie.
That's it.
Sir, this isn't possible.
Escaype Live is completely
computer controlled.
There's no chance of a human error.
We only moderate from here.
The competition isn't over yet.
Keep posting your videos,
you can still win.
Listen, shut the fuck up,
motherfucker!
-Excuse me, please.
-Shut the fuck up!
Sir, please. Talk decently.
Don't use bad words.
Listen to me.
Try to understand.
I am fucking number one on the app.
People come to
Escaype because of me.
I run your business.
You do not fuck with me! Assholes
Darkie, calm down.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Hi
Dhruv, we need to talk.
-I'll be back in a minute.
-No, Dhruv, it's critical. Please.
What happened?
I've 200,000 followers
in Gurgaon alone. 200,000
Even if 50% of them send diamonds,
imagine what will happen.
And fucking explain to me,
how the fuck this Aamcha guy wins,
who has just 13K followers?
-I
-No, check my account right now.
Check every comment, every DM.
See what everyone's saying.
Can't send diamonds.
Can't send diamonds.
Why the fuck is that?
Listen to me,
whatever the problem is,
fucking fix it right now.
Don't God block me.
You do not fuck with Darkie.
Hello. Hello.
Tashi, you keep checking.
Tell me if it's fixed.
-Tell me if it's not fixed.
-Yes.
Dhruv, I cannot lose. I'm
fucking number one. Remember that.
Bro, my grandpa's seriously ill.
Oh, sorry that's sad, bro.
Guess mom-dad will be
leaving for their hometown.
I'll have to go as well.
So
So, I get it. Yeah
That was Darkangel's
agent on the line.
He says that his fans are trying
to send diamonds, but they can't.
Escaype live is completely
computer controlled.
There's no chance
for human error here.
We have no favorites.
And fucking explain to me,
how the fuck this Aamcha guy wins.
Balaji, Krishna here.
I'm looking for Darkangel's
statistics. Diamonds, etc.
I'm not getting access.
Is there a glitch in the system?
No, Krishna.
There's no glitch in the system.
But data moderators don't
have permission to access it.
My child face-off with her.
Computers decide
the face-off, sister.
Not us.
And age doesn't matter here.
Did I say about age?
Can't you see what she's doing?
What?
You said Rani's going to dance.
I don't want her doing such antics.
Our mice is going to dance,
let her do whatever she wants.
You're out of your mind, not me.
My daughter won't take
part in this competition.
Rani, go pack your bags.
You didn't even imagine
how this will affect her.
How?
I've seen her, mom.
Yes I know what she does.
I topped the audition.
I want to defeat her.
Don't talk nonsense.
You're still too small.
Let's go home.
That's the problem, mom.
They all call me small, or baby.
But I don't want to be a baby
anymore. I want to be a big girl.
I want to win this
competition at any cost.
Your father will
kill you and me too.
When will you understand? Come on.
When will you understand, sister?
You want to make her a star,
because you couldn't be one.
You didn't dare to tell father.
Father shut you up for
good with a single slap.
You're treating her the same way.
Poor thing's showing
some courage to do something.
Help her.
Don't put shackles on her feet.
Look at that girl.
My child is still very small.
She is right.
She looks really small.
Why?
What good is a simple meal?
Look at other girls her age.
They look much healthier.
Why? Because they
get all the vitamins.
Even she will look
older if she gets vitamins.
Right, Calli.
Whites take vitamins, don't they?
-Vitamins?
-Yes.
Yes very good for health,
sister.
I did too when I was a child.
Understood.
Now say.
There's only one month
left for the competition.
What difference
will pills make now?
Not pills, sister. Injection.
I already spoke to the doctor.
No
Rani's scared of needles.
She cried for days
when she got her shots.
When do we go, uncle?
I will do anything
to win the competition.
We'll go today, child.
We'll get you injected
and defeat Fetish Girl.
Right? Will you be scared?
I hate greens, I hate hostel food,
sister Mary forced
us to eat the full dinner.
So I ate.
Good girl.
I miss you, my baby.
Miss you too, mama.
When are you coming, mama?
Soon, my love.
I've booked my ticket.
I love you.
Ma'am, Dance Rani's
face-off with Fetish Rani.
She could've faced off
with some other little girl.
Although I don't need to,
let me make you understand.
The computer has an algorithm.
We don't decide
who will be fitted against who?
I'm sure Dance Rani
visited her page,
or she's been following her.
That's why the
algorithm picked them.
It's that simple.
Ma'am, Dance Rani is just a girl.
You know Fetish Girl pretty well.
What?
Ma'am, just think
Facing off with a small girl
Imagine the things
she will do to win.
We can't allow this, ma'am.
It's completely unethical.
Unethical?
Did we force anyone to participate?
Krishna, take this
demonstration someplace else.
Everyone is getting outraged
and offended these days.
Don't try and tell me
something I already know.
Ma'am, she's a child.
She will lose her innocence,
it will be your fault.
Enough.
This is a competition where
people have participated by choice.
Is that clear?
No, ma'am.
Here we are.
Come on. This is it.
Is this the first
time for me or you?
See Take a look.
Look at this.
Seven injections in three weeks.
And the body will transform
from this to this.
Will she be safe?
Several others got it,
did anything happen to them?
It's different when the
family's involved, doctor.
I know how to care for the family.
That's why I give you a commission.
Let's go if you're scared. Come on.
Don't worry, mom.
Uncle's here. We'll be fine.
Shall we go get the injection?
What happened?
M for
Ma
And I'm your
Ma Ma (Uncle)
Listen to
What uncle says.
Bravo, my child.
Come on.
Me facing off against
that Dance Rani.
Do you guys want me to win?
Right, boys.
So what say?
Aren't you ashamed?
Don't I entertain
you guys every day at 12?
So
What I do here, I can't
do it in front of a little girl.
So I won't compete
with Dance Rani.
Keep Dance Rani away from my world.
Do whatever you want with
your Fetish Girl.
