Choona (2023) s01e08 Episode Script

1
-Feels like we're in another world!
-This is like a Hollywood film!
This is crazy.
A lot was happening.
Shukla was chanting
his own mantras in his mind.
Pandit was also trying his best.
One team's players
were returning to the pavilion,
and the other team's injured players
were going back to the field.
POLICE
Hey! Who the hell are you?
I'm the Minister of Urban Development's
brother-in-law.
Hey! Bishnu said something.
My name is Bishnu Shukla.
Here's my ID.
SWACHH SAMAAJ PARTY WORKER
That's Mr. Shukla's wife who is tying
a rakhi around my wrist.
-Okay?
-Why did you stop the van?
I'll tell you why.
Because how dare you interfere
with what's happening inside
or outside Shukla's party office?
-Hey, apologize to him.
-Come here.
-Apologize to me.
-Listen.
He's an ASI, but I'm an inspector.
Listen, you dumb fuck!
How dare you arrest our people
from outside the SSP party office?
Can't you see that flag?
Look, Mr. Shukla told us to keep
an eye out for anything suspicious.
We confiscated
a bottle of liquor from them.
And we also found a gun in their bag.
These things are commonplace
in Mr. Shukla's party office,
and I'm responsible for them.
Do you want to see more guns?
Let's go to the party office. Come on!
But we found it outside the party office.
-Let the cops do their job.
-This is your job?
Arresting our party workers is your job?
Wait. Let me call IG Rastogi.
I swear I'll get you two fired!
Motherfuckers!
-It's Bishnu.
-Mr. Bishnu!
-Mr. Bishnu--
-Get lost!
Please hear me out.
Give me a few more slaps if you want,
but please don't call him.
Is that so?
I should forgive you?
All right, leave.
Go back to where you came from. Scram!
Go! Get lost!
JP couldn't speak the words,
"Bishnu can speak."
The tides had turned.
But the game had fewer overs left.
It was time for the solar eclipse.
Even Madan Singh regained consciousness.
And a locked door
certainly couldn't hold him back.
Give them back their stuff. Come on.
-Here.
-It's okay. You can keep it, Mr. Tripathi.
I quit drinking long ago.
I just carry it around out of habit.
Leave the van here and get going.
You have two minutes. Scram.
Or I'll send Madan Singh after you.
He'll break your bones,
then you'll understand.
-Go.
-Thank you, Mr. Bishnu.
-Inspector.
-Yes, sir?
I'm Mr. Shukla's brother-in-law.
Don't ever forget that.
Yes.
Mr. Bishnu, please ask someone
to send the van.
It belongs to Nawabganj Police Station.
-It's not ours.
-Get lost, you fucker!
Go away!
Beware of the party flag!
Or else, I'll beat you to a pulp!
-Let me do this.
-Put that away.
It's not loaded.
Please don't be mad.
I can talk,
and I'm Mr. Shukla's brother-in-law.
Why were you pretending to be mute?
It's okay if you don't want to tell us.
I'll tell you later.
We have a lot to do,
and we're running out of time.
If one person knew the truth,
then everyone would have found out.
That's why I wanted
to keep this up my sleeve
for when it was absolutely necessary.
-JP, take this van. We have to use it.
-Yeah.
Unbelievable! I never thought
I'd be stitching up a police van.
-What did you think you'd be stitching up?
-Your mouth.
That's a big computer.
What happened to your laptop?
I'm using it to monitor their CCTV.
Later, when Bishnu inserts my drive
into their system,
I'll be able to mirror it with my laptop.
-Do you have some water?
-No.
Hey, come on, you.
Okay, that's enough.
The food is drugged.
The dogs ate the food
mixed with sleeping pills
and licked Bishnu's face.
This is called
a taste of your own medicine.
-I'll get water from Bishnu.
-Okay.
Bishnu.
Bishnu, wake up
or else our plan will fail!
Bishnu, wake up.
Please wake up.
JP panicked when he saw Bishnu asleep.
You went to get water, right?
Why do you look thirstier now?
Why do you sound like Bishnu?
The dogs' food
was drugged with sleeping pills
and Bishnu licked the dogs' faces.
No! I mean the dogs licked Bishnu's face,
and he's fallen asleep too!
What about our plan?
I will not go to Shukla's cabin.
Bishnu was going to connect
your pen drive in the CCTV room,
but now you'll have to do it
because Bishnu has fallen asleep.
Now, JP told Jhumpa what plan B was,
which was plan A all along.
Jhumpa was
going to fill in for Bishnu now.
From here to this point,
there are about 50 guards.
All of them have Sten guns.
No, don't be scared.
Everyone's busy watching the movie.
-I can't do this.
-But you have a gun!
It doesn't have any bullets!
Shit!
Stop the car!
Don't take a photo.
That's Madan Singh's car.
Why are they chasing after the girl?
They haven't told us yet?
It will be revealed later.
The girl riding the motorcycle is amazing!
Unbelievably good!
Oh, my!
Wow!
She has been speeding down the road
as if she has committed a murder!
What a girl!
When she turned I thought
she was going to shoot me!
She's riding the motorcycle
as well as firing the gun!
There we go! A crash!
She finally took off the helmet.
Now, that's a glamorous twist!
This is a night club.
The way to the vault
is through the night club.
-Oh, look! It's Mr. Bhadouriya!
-Well, he's the head of security.
So, they've added him as a cartoon.
It's called an avatar, not cartoon.
Well, yes, avatar.
Look at his smile!
Who has got the access card?
The access card is with the head
of security, Mr. Bhadouriya.
-He's right in front of you.
-Okay. Copy.
-I'm sure she'll steal something from you.
-How can she do that?
Just dance. Don't look over there.
Source opening.
Processing loop.
Looping all cameras.
Look at that! He's dancing too.
Why is Mr. Bhadouriya dancing like that?
Hey, you should make that face too!
Pout like her.
Look at his eyebrows! He looks nervous.
Oh, she gave him a photograph of hers
with her number written on the back!
Congratulations, Mr. Bhadouriya!
I wish I could take a selfie
with this woman!
She stole Mr. Bhadouriya's heart.
She stole his access card!
That's okay. It's like
the shoe-stealing ritual in weddings.
The wedding won't happen
if you don't let her steal it.
Looping complete.
When Jhumpa found out
about the lasers in the room,
her smile was wiped off her face.
Damn it!
Shit!
Jhumpa!
Wow! Look at that! It seems like
the vault itself is made of gold.
-I wonder what's in there!
-It's either money or gold.
She's planting a bomb!
It's really happening. Close your ears.
How can we close our ears
with headphones on?
Oh, my! What was that sound?
The sound of Mr. Bhadouriya
being scared shitless.
This is Shukla's estate.
This is where he buries his enemies.
But Ansari managed to beat Mr. Shukla
at his own game.
After all, Shukla's the one
who gave him the idea.
You should go underground for a few days.
How did Ansari get here?
All right, let him do his business first.
It appeared to everyone
that Ansari had joined forces with Shukla.
But in reality, Ansari was thinking about
getting revenge on behalf of everyone.
Don't stare at me like that.
I have thought this through.
JP, there was a reason why we met.
After two days, I'll go to fill out
the party office worker form
and give the nomination details.
I'll get my photo taken,
there will be a celebration.
I'll go to the party office,
but I won't get out of there.
The two of you will complete
the rest of the plan.
By now JP and Bishnu had realized that
the way to get inside the party office
and the way to heaven were
one and the same.
But the party office
could be robbed from the inside.
As a result, JP and Bishnu hatched a plan
to seal Ansari in the pipe duct.
Immediately after the press conference,
Bishnu turned off the CCTV cameras
and took Ansari to Shukla's cabin.
That means something else, Bishnu.
JP was waiting for him in there.
Listen closely. I've drilled a hole here.
I've also made a pulley there.
I've put a mattress downstairs for you.
So, you can get there safely.
-I have kept food for you in this bag.
-Okay.
-Okay?
-Yeah.
Take off those clothes.
When you come back,
Bishnu and I will call you, okay?
-Okay.
-Listen.
First, you have to move this statue
over there.
Shukla has humiliated me a lot.
Please get my revenge--
-Tell me what's next, JP!
-Yeah, all right.
-Well, that's it.
-That's it?
-Yes.
-Okay.
Listen!
Don't forget to activate the bomb
at the right time.
JP, what were you saying
about the lock?
Why weren't you paying attention
when I was explaining it to you?
Hold this remote. And listen.
I'll plant a bomb here and seal this wall.
-Okay.
-I've given you another remote.
-The mobile one.
-Yeah?
-That's for the bomb. Remember that.
-Yeah, I remember.
The luggage
Ansari came down with was equal
to what we'd find in Egyptian tombs.
You know, luggage for the afterlife.
-JP, I'm here.
-All right, I'm closing this.
JP, reopen it on time.
He had enough food, but it was difficult
to pass the time in there.
But Ansari was used to being in jail.
When the bomb exploded in the movie,
a controlled explosion created
a hole in the bathroom wall.
All of this was timed,
I mean, approximately.
The surround sound effect made it
feel like the blast occurred in reality.
-I can smell it as well.
-Yeah.
It's so realistic!
Hello?
JP, I'm here. Ask Bishnu what to do next.
How are you? Everything okay?
-How was your stay?
-I'm not returning from Goa.
I came out of the toilet shaft.
Where's Bishnu?
He is sleeping.
Do you want to hear something amazing?
Bishnu can talk.
Stop talking nonsense, JP.
We're running out of time.
Did Ansari go to Shukla's cabin?
No, I stopped him,
but I don't know what to say to him.
-Ansari.
-Jhumpa?
Don't go inside. I just came back
from their CCTV room.
His cabin has infrared lasers.
-What's happening?
-Wait at the door.
We can't touch the money
unless we turn off the lasers.
I'll call you. Show me the room.
Where are the lasers?
Over the money.
They're not visible to the naked eye.
Jhumpa, I see the money!
Look at all that money!
-The money…
-Ansari, focus!
-What should I do now?
-You'll see a temple there.
Check for incense.
Do you see
the laser packaging box anywhere?
Why would they have that?
They must have thrown it away.
-It must still be in the dustbin.
-How do you know?
-It's a government office.
-Found it.
Read its frequency.
Now, take out your walkie-talkie.
Set it to the frequency on the box.
-Done.
-Now, point it at the laser projector.
It should have turned off.
Get more incense.
Laser God, please calm down.
Please calm down.
Calm down, Laser God.
-Now what?
-Now, go and steal the money.
We only have 37 minutes.
There was an explosion,
but all the money is intact!
It's a movie. If all the money burned,
what'd be the point then?
Yeah.
Shukla started to doubt Triloki
because Triloki's mantras were indistinct.
Om Shanti! Peace! Peace!
Did you call me?
Who are you?
I'm Shanti, Parvati's neighbor.
She hasn't come to work today
because of the eclipse.
Would you like some strong tea?
Pay attention here!
We are running out of time.
Wait a minute, Maharaj.
Call Parvati.
The cops have arrived.
Yes, they're here.
In the movie, the robbery was done,
but in reality, it hadn't even started.
Look at all this money!
Yes, Parvati. Have you sent
someone else over today?
-What's her name?
-Shanti.
You didn't tell me.
Oh, you informed Bansi.
Go, make us tea.
Bring mine in a metal container.
He means steel or copper glass.
Ansari, what are you doing?
It's time for the eclipse. Hurry up!
Yeah, all right.
Bishnu had told him
that the safe's password was "Shanti".
If the safe doesn't open,
the chapter of their lives
will be closed forever.
-What is it?
-Did you open the safe?
No, the password is incorrect.
We are not safe without it, Ansari.
What can I do if it won't open?
Madan Singh was still feeling dizzy
because of the gas.
He was seeing everything
in slow motion,
but he was driving very fast.
-Shukla will be asleep.
-For how long?
-For how long?
-I don't know.
I only had one vial,
so I had to make do with it.
He won't be asleep for too long.
He'll go there straight away.
Send it.
Here we go!
Jhumpa, count the bags.
I'm not counting them as I send them down.
-I'm Shanti. Parvati sent me.
-You're lying!
You don't eat nonvegetarian food,
mushrooms, and soya nuggets on Thursday.
You like fenugreek in your dal
and prefer yellow rice.
Ansari, don't forget
you need to crack open the safe
once you're done sending all the bags.
Come on, pull it!
What is Madan Singh doing here?
What is he going to do?
He'll murder someone.
-Hey, you're awake!
-Come on, get in.
Come on.
Whenever he is confused,
he murders someone.
He's the one who shot Pandit.
Madan Singh saw everyone.
But the same way an inebriated person
can't recognize their own father,
he didn't understand a thing.
It's the day of the solar eclipse.
Kindly avoid stepping out.
Don't look directly at the sun,
or your vision may be affected.
It could also spell trouble
for you and your family.
So, stay indoors and protect your eyes
from the sun's rays.
-Thank you.
-Thank God!
Hurry up, we don't have much time.
Dinanath! Ramdayal!
-JP, this was the last bag.
-Okay. Thirty.
Hurry up. Shukla has left.
-Your password isn't working.
-Tell Ansari to try another password.
K-A-A-L-A-A.
Triloki told Shukla to wear black.
I'll meet you at Sainik Chowk.
I'll drop the dogs off at home.
-What are you doing, Baankey?
-Sir…
-What are you doing?
-Sir, you wouldn't wake up.
That's why I had to do that, sir. Get up.
There's been a robbery at the SSP office.
The VR film was about to end,
and Ansari suddenly remembered
100 different things.
It was Ansari's old habit to get caught
while doing something.
DOES THIS FI
YOUR ARCHITECTURAL STANDARD?
-Mr. Shukla…
-Setup complete.
Now the architecture is
as per Shukla's standard.
Just two suitcases? That's it?
Greed could get her killed.
She's got good aim!
She jumped off!
Come on!
There you go!
No matter where, the police always
arrive late to the crime scene.
Oh, my!
Well, he hit the jackpot.
Grabbed a 100-dollar bill!
This has been fun.
The train scene was awesome!
All right, let's go. The movie is over.
Bishnu told us there's
an arrangement for snacks, right?
That was awesome!
-That was fun, Mr. Bhadouriya!
-Right?
Everything seemed so real.
The water, train…
I heard the sound of cars.
I'll just go and check.
Sit down, man. Have these jalebis.
I'm the head of security.
He should have eaten the jalebis.
Because, you see,
it was already too late.
The solar eclipse had begun.
And in this moment, not one
but six planets had devoured Shukla.
And then, they fled in a police van.
Shukla only just saw the time.
But time always keeps a watch on us.
The flying note
reminded Bhadouriya of the VR movie.
Did that girl
go to the party office as well?
Bhadouriya, where are all the guards?
Hey, stop!
Didn't stop even on seeing a cop, huh?
Come on, show me the stolen goods!
Come on.
-Why are you going so slow, man?
-It's an old cycle rickshaw, sir.
Who do you think I am?
I'm very rich, mind you!
I'll buy you a new cycle rickshaw.
-Go faster!
-Okay, sir.
Step on it!
"Calculator, you can calculate your losses
and shove these rings up your ass."
How are you, man?
This was our real plan.
I'll explain everything later.
Now, we need to get out of here.
After all, we're traveling
with 800 crore rupees.
Who is that?
It's me.
What is he doing here?
He must have ratted us out to Shukla!
No, Pandit. He's been with us all along.
We'll tell you everything later.
He can talk?
Yes, and he is
Mr. Shukla's brother-in-law.
I'll explain that later as well.
You guys should leave.
Shukla has reached the office.
-All right.
-Bela.
You…
The money is in these bags, right?
You wanted us to get married, right?
Now, everything's set.
We'll get married
within two months, I promise.
I'll talk to Baankey.
He'll dance at our wedding.
-Ansari, enough. We need to leave.
-I love you.
Come on. Sit.
DOES THIS FIT YOUR ARCHITECTURAL STANDARD?
Mr. Shukla…
Ansari?
You did all this?
No, Mr. Shukla. You did it.
Yeah, go on. Keep talking.
They say we should listen
to the last words of a dying person.
It's beneficial for science.
Let me tell you the science behind
everything that has happened to you.
One, you tortured innocent people.
Second, you suppressed the weak.
And lastly,
you messed with the wrong person.
Then I found more people
who had personal animosity against you.
Get lost!
Is anyone out there?
The door is locked, Mr. Shukla.
It will open, but first, let me tell you
who I am talking about.
Tell me who you are talking about.
Who is this dickhead?
I'm J.P. Yadav, Mr. Shukla.
I knew you wouldn't remember me,
that's why I placed the statue
of Shyama Prasad in your toilet.
You canceled my restoration project,
and I lost millions.
You pushed me to alcoholism.
You wanted to see all the plans, right?
What do you think about this plan?
Greetings, Mr. Shukla.
It's me, Pandit Ramacharya Upadhyay.
-What is this, Mr. Shukla?
-Pandit…
You had this innocent man shot
for no reason.
Although I must agree, I'm guilty.
After all, I was the one
who fixed auspicious dates
for all of your evil deeds.
-But God punished me for it.
-Fucking Pandit…
Anyway, never mind all that.
Tell me something, Mr. Shukla.
You wanted to get rid
of the bad planets, right?
But bear in mind that nothing
is more powerful than the planets.
Remember that I am responsible
for your defeat.
Guess who trained Choona Maharaj!
I did.
I trained him so well
that he even managed to fool you!
When I hunt him down…
-Come here.
-…I'll skin him alive and make sure…
You won't be able to find me.
I'll hunt you down in hell
if I have to!
Mr. Shukla, this is not the time
for you to threaten us.
Let us give you a reality check.
I have sent two clips to you.
Please check your phone.
As soon as I buy eight MLAs,
the government will be overthrown.
-What the hell are you going to do?
-We'll send this to the CM.
Then you'll be charged under
POTA, MCOCA, FERA, and TADA acts.
The government will sentence you
to 200 years in prison.
Can anyone remain alive
for 200 years, Mr. Shukla?
Well, Mr. Shukla,
you cannot go to the police
because you can't tell them where
the 800 crore rupees came from.
I was the first one
to find out about this trade.
You beat me up in my own house.
So, I gave you
a taste of your own medicine.
He's laughing when he should be crying.
Seems like he has lost his mind.
All right, now, tell me…
how did you get into the party office
on Madan Singh's watch?
We'll talk about Madan Singh
some other day.
Right now, we want you
to meet a special guest.
Greetings, brother-in-law.
How are you?
Bishnu… you can talk?
You helped them?
I raised you like my own son.
You treated me like a dog, not your son.
You loved me as if I were your pet.
You pet me and fed me rotis.
I gave you samosas as well.
My sister was like
a mother to me, brother-in-law.
I wanted to exact revenge on you
for what you did to my sister.
I treated you like a member of my family.
As a child, I witnessed…
how you treat your family members.
I'm still going to kill you with love.
You have done a lot for me.
Bishnu, let me talk to him. Move.
You wanted to use Saturn
as your footrest, right?
No one can control their fate, you moron!
-What do you--
-Pandit!
You've started your spiel again?
Keep it short.
So, Mr. Shukla,
the short and sweet version is this.
Don't do misdeeds
with the common man's posterior.
He means to say don't fuck up people's
lives. He can't say it directly, you see.
Because if he retaliates,
your testicles will shrivel up.
He means your life will be fucked.
You…
Rastogi came, and so did Asthana.
-The mouse came, and so did the monkey.
-Mr. Shukla!
-Well, never mind.
-Rastogi, I'm here!
Rastogi, break the door down!
I'm locked in here!
-Mr. Shukla, there's been a robbery.
-Open the goddamn door!
-I'm trying, sir.
-Mr. Shukla!
Asthana? Open the door!
Sir, there's been a robbery!
Asthana, I know there's been a robbery.
I said I'm locked in here!
Break down the door!
Sir, you'll have to open it
from the inside.
-The glass is unbreakable!
-Mr. Shukla.
Mr. Shukla!
There is a remote near the window.
Not so fast, Mr. Shukla.
First, you'll have to say,
"Long live Faulad Singh."
Shut up, you scoundrel!
How dare you!
It was so much fun talking to you.
-All right, we need to go now.
-Yes.
-Over and out.
-Hang up.
Hang up.
Please say the password.
Fucker! Long live Faulad Singh.
Sorry. Please repeat the password.
You… fucker!
Long live Faulad Singh!
Sorry. Please repeat the password.
Long live Faulad Singh!
Unlocked.
Get out of here! Leave!
If Bishnu can go to Andaman,
why can't we go to the Bahamas?
No, we'll first invest the money
in the business.
-Baby, please.
-No, I said no.
No, I won't drink. My father used to drink
and I don't want to make it a habit again.
I won't marry you.
-Hey, Bela--
-Ansari, stop.
What are you saying?
Everything has fallen into place.
You got revenge
for your humiliation, right?
Ansari, in the future,
you'll become the next Shukla.
-My brother will be Rastogi--
-Bela!
I love you.
And I'm going to be a father now.
But you want to be the Chief Minister,
not a father, right?
-You'd said you were doomed.
-Things were different then.
You said that just two months ago.
But I have changed in those two months.
Bela…
There's a lot I want to say,
but I know that
you won't listen to me.
So, I won't say anything.
Baankey danced. Not at Ansari's wedding,
but at his heartbreak.
What?
I'm not dancing for nothing.
Didn't I tell you she'll realize
she's made a mistake with you?
At least take stock
of the situation before speaking.
Nothing is more powerful than the planets.
These words said by Pandit
were etched in Shukla's mind.
In order to return 500 crore rupees,
he sold off his cars, his bungalows,
and his illegal businesses.
Even a couple of small banks shut down.
And yet,
he fell short by ten crore rupees.
Mr. Shenoy, hear me out.
I have returned 490 crore rupees to you.
I'm only ten crore rupees short.
I'm certain you can forgo that amount
for the sake of our friendship.
Mr. Shukla, the CM is my friend now.
The only reason you weren't charged
with murder is because I talked to him.
For the first time in my life,
I've made a miscalculation.
I won't blame you.
We can't say he never dreamed
that something like this would happen…
-because this story began with a dream.
-You idiot! Close the door!
Sir, I'll get the car.
They've sent such a big car for me.
So, I'll go in this car.
The police came but they couldn't arrest
a disheartened Shukla.
Because Calculator
had already started planning.
Mr. Shukla will get out of jail…
but it doesn't seem like…
he would be a threat to you
in the coming elections.
So, what is he going to do?
He'll run away, what else?
Sir, the judge was heavy-handed.
That's why it took me a while
to bail you out.
Where to, sir?
Your home and the party office
have been sold off.
There's a hotel near the Sainik crossroad.
If you like, we can make a stop there.
Sir, we've arrived at the crossroad.
I'm at a crossroads indeed, Asthana.
Where should we go then?
As per my horoscope,
I should begin the second innings
of my political career from my birthplace.
Birthplace?
Sir, do you still believe in horoscopes?
I played the game wrong.
It's not my horoscope's fault.
Where is his birthplace?
Can't you understand?
Take us to his village.
I dreamed about some new moves
this morning, Asthana.
And they say…
early morning dreams come true.
I'd like to conclude by saying…
every dream gives rise to a new story.
