Where were you?
I was tutoring the children.
You sell your body under the excuse of tuition?
You've destroyed this household.
Leave me, leave me.
No, Father. No, Father.
- Father, please. Father, please. - Move away!
- Father, enough. - Today, this one...
Get out.
Don't call me Father again.
You're no son of mine.
- No, Father. - Bastard!
- I'll skin you alive today. - No, Father.
Speak up.
Speak up!
You dare sell your body?
Mom...
Amar... my son...
Mom!
I want to be with my mom. I want to go to my mom!
Leave me. Bring him along.
Start the car. Move.
Come with me.
I want to go to my mom!
Don't take me away.
Move.
No... no...
I want to go to my mom!
Speak up! Speak up!
Sir... My leg is broken.
Sir, please...
Speak up. Speak up!
I'll tell you, sir.
Speak up.
I did everything for money.
We know that.
I didn't know his name was Sudarshan.
-Is that so? -I swear, sir, I didn't know.
They told me his name was Gopal.
I got calls from different numbers.
The man told me
to keep injecting him with drugs.
He hid money for me in different places.
I swear, sir,
I know nothing else.
He won't talk like this.
Skin him alive.
-Go on. -Sir...
Khandekar,
did Mahesh say anything?
Nothing yet.
But whoever he is,
he's very influential.
Above people like Sudarshan and Bahar.
I'll call you when I get something.
Khandekar,
I'm batting on a weak pitch.
I need a breakthrough.
-At any cost. -I'll do something.
Sudarshan's condition is very serious.
Drug levels are extremely high.
Madam, will he recover by day after tomorrow?
He has a court hearing.
No chance.
Then what's the point of producing him in court?
He won't remember anything.
What?
His memory is damaged because of the drugs.
The injections affected his brain.
He can turn violent at any time.
Madam, this hearing is crucial.
-Please do something. -Sorry,
I can't allow this.
Madam, there must be an option.
Alright. Get permission.
Madam...
The court says: bring Sudarshan.
She says: bring permission.
Sir, we'll have to call Amar sir.
Morning, Dad.
Hey... good morning.
Did you have breakfast?
Yes. Just a bite.
-Dad. -Yes?
I need to tell you something.
In the State vs Bahar case, you're not seeing it
from the woman's side.
You're following Bahar's case?
-Of course. -Good.
-I'm impressed. -Thank you.
So what's your plan today?
Are you changing the topic?
No.
I just want to know your schedule.
Practice first.
Then college.
Practice again.
Later, maybe I'll meet friends.
-I see. -Maybe a movie.
The driver will be with me all day.
Don't worry. I'll come home late.
And you didn't transfer money to my account, right?
If you look at it that way...
You my dear.
You live a privileged life.
A car. A driver.
Unlimited credit cards.
Not all girls live like this.
Some girls
go to any length to fulfil their dreams.
They lie.
They play the woman card.
And more.
I don't want to discuss this.
You go.
One is having a good time.
Please don't forget about it.
Dad, why are you irritated?
I'm not irritated.
I'm just saying...
you live in a safe bubble.
If you ever take a peek at the outside world,
you'll understand.
Jai Hind.
Sudarshan's appearance in court
could be the turning point in this case.
Yes, sir.
Sir... DD sir.
Good morning, sir.
ACP Khandekar.
Congratulations.
Thank you, sir.
You finally managed
to locate Sudarshan.
Yes, sir.
Although...
it wasn't particularly difficult.
Tracing the van through CCTV footage
could have been done
even by a junior constable.
Perhaps our team was simply unlucky, sir.
Unlucky... or
were your priorities elsewhere?
What exactly are you implying, sir?
I'm only saying this...
stop being partial
towards Amar Vishwas.
You see, we are part of the same team.
And a team must play like one.
We both serve the State.
We're connected to the same case.
State vs Bahar Chakravarty.
With all due respect, sir...
a state has many citizens.
Bahar Chakravarty is just one of them.
So for me, you and Amar Vishwas
are no different.
You both hold the same position.
My friendships and relationships
have a separate place in my heart.
My duty
has its own place. That is precisely why
I went out of my way to share that video with you.
And I can assure you, sir...
there isn't a single piece of information
I shared with Amar
that I didn't share with you.
So please, don't worry about that.
Let's go, Tavde.
Angry young man.
Why do people have such short tempers these days?
Because of the kind of films being made now.
Looks like I'll have to become the next Chief
of the Censor Board.
Yes, sir.
Your Honour, I hate being sarcastic.
But one coincidence after another...
it almost feels like a joke.
I object, Your Honour.
It appears my learned friend does not realise that
facts are presented in court,
not coincidences.
Very well. Let us then present facts.
On the day Jessu Momin was murdered,
Mr. Akbar Baig
flew from India to Dubai.
And he was so occupied there
that he couldn't attend
his own business partner's funeral.
Every time he was contacted,
he ignored the calls,
claiming he was extremely busy.
He did not attend phone calls.
He did not respond to court summons.
I object, Your Honour.
My client, Akbar Baig,
has already clarified all these points
while recording his statement with the police.
Your Honour,he has given a statement to the police.
But he has not given the defence
an opportunity to question him.
Therefore, the defence requests permission
to call Akbar Baig to the witness box.
You may, please.
Hello.
As I told the police earlier,
all the creative decisions of my production...
choosing directors,
managing production,
hiring actors...
were handled entirely by Jessu.
I only invested the money.
He ensured profits for me.
That was the understanding between us.
He wouldn't interfere in my work,
and I wouldn't interfere in his.
We even drafted a contract based on this understanding,
which I have already submitted to this Honourable Court.
If required, the court may examine it.
Certainly.
This production house is my family legacy.
It was started by my grandfather.
He was deeply passionate about cinema.
And he wanted me to carry that legacy forward.
But filmmaking isn't easy.
It demands a lot of time.
Time that I didn't have.
That's when I met Jessu.
I saw the same passion in him that I was searching for.
So I handed over complete responsibility
of the production house to him.
You said you and Jessu Momin signed a contract.
Yes.
Then the contracts your company signed with artists
also bear your signature.
All contracts have my signature,
because Jessu had access to my digital signature.
But I never received any complaints against him.
So, according to you, Jessu was a good person.
He was good at his work.
Did you know that
Jessu Momin possessed a video...
recorded by him...
which was an intimate video
of my client, Ms. Bahar, and her boyfriend?
And that he was using it to blackmail her?
I didn't know about the blackmail, but...
I had some idea about the video.
"Some idea"? Could you clarify that?
Achala called me
and informed me about it.
I immediately called Jessu.
I warned him... if he did anything wrong,
I would throw him out of the company.
Did you know what the content of the video was?
No, not clearly.
But I had a feeling
that the nature of the video was inappropriate.
Mr. Akbar,
where were you on the night of 25th August...
the night Jessu Momin was murdered?
I was in Mumbai.
That same night, I was informed
that my mother was critically ill.
She was admitted to the ICU.
So I wrapped up my work
and flew to Dubai the next morning...
on the 26th.
Did you know that on the night of 25th August,
Jessu was meeting my client, Bahar?
No. I had no idea about that.
You said Ms. Achala informed you about the video.
How do you know Ms. Achala?
The same way I know Bahar.
They are actors.
Would it be incorrect to say that you knew them socially?
I do know them socially.
In fact, slightly more than socially,
since we've met multiple times.
That will be all for now,
Mr. Akbar.
Thank you.
Your Honour,
I request permission
to recall Ms. Achala to the witness box.
You may, please.
Ms. Achala,
how do you know Mr. Akbar Baig?
I'm an aspiring actress.
We met several times for work-related reasons.
And eventually, we got along.
"Got along"...
or was it more than that?
Your Honour, I object.
How is this relevant to the case?
Sustained.
Defence, come to the point.
Your Honour,
Jessu Momin
and Akbar Baig's company...
Seven Brothers Production...
Your Honour, he's still stating irrelevant facts.
Your Honour, if he keeps interrupting,
I won't be able to complete my argument.
Overruled.
Your Honour,
Seven Brothers Production... owned by Jessu Momin and Akbar Baig...
has been organising
a beauty contest for the last three years.
This year's winner
was Ms. Bahar Chakravarty.
Your Honour, I object.
Your Honour, this is becoming impossible.
Either I'm allowed to finish, or I'm not.
Overruled.
Thank you, Your Honour.
This year's winner was Ms. Bahar Chakravarty.
And the winner in the first year...
was Ms. Achala.
Am I correct?
And perhaps Ms. Achala has forgotten...
that in the same contest,
the winning crown was placed
by Mr. Akbar himself.
So they don't merely know each other socially.
They know each other very well.
Isn't that correct?
Did you sign any contract with Seven Brothers Production?
I object, Your Honour.
I'd like to clarify...
any agreement drafted
by my client's company pertains only
to film production,
not to a beauty contest.
Your Honour, I disagree.
Because Ms. Achala signed a contract
identical to the one signed by Ms. Bahar Chakravarty.
Do you have a copy of that contract?
Your Honour,
we were unable to obtain a copy...
just as we couldn't obtain Ms. Bahar's copy.
Your Honour, these are baseless assumptions.
This argument holds value only if they produce the contract.
Your Honour, we are doing everything possible...
Sir!
Your Honour,
we have the agreement.
Here is the copy, Your Honour.
I... I object, Your Honour.
We had no prior knowledge of any such submission.
Defence, this is unacceptable.
Have you filed an application to submit this evidence?
Your Honour, I sincerely apologise.
But there is no information available about this competition...
neither on the internet,
nor on Jessu Momin's phone, laptop,
or any other record.
And the moment we obtained Ms. Achala's copy,
we felt that before it could disappear,
be snatched, or buried...
it had to be presented in court.
Let me examine this.
Your Honour,
this is improper.
Mr. Sushil, you may raise objections
to this evidence at the next hearing.
I am allowing it for now,
as this is crucial evidence to move the case forward.
I should be given time to read this.
Mr. Sushil, please sit down.
Defence, proceed.
Your Honour,
if you examine the document closely,
you will notice
an illegitimate clause
hidden in fine print in the annexure.
This clause was used by
Jessu Momin to blackmail my client.
Your Honour, this contract
was deliberately not shared with my client.
Because such contracts are illegal...
one-sided contract.
designed solely for exploitation.
And this is just one contract, Your Honour.
One wonders how many such contracts exist.
How many people were exploited?
How many victims
had a motive to kill Jessu Momin?
This company reeks of exploitation.
Reeks of exploitation.
Your Honour, before I conclude,
I must point out
certain loose ends.
Ms. Achala advised my client
to delete the video from Jessu Momin's phone...
and not approach the police.
When Mr. Akbar Baig discovered
that his business partner
was blackmailing a girl using a video
recorded by him...
what did he do?
He prioritised his family matters
and chose to ignore the issue,
offering nothing more than a verbal warning.
Your Honour,
the defence has several unanswered questions for
Mr. Akbar Baig and Seven Brothers Production.
Therefore, I request that until
the defence completes its investigation,
Mr. Akbar Baig and Ms. Achala
be restricted from leaving Mumbai.
That will be all, Your Honour.
Based on today's submissions and proceedings,
this court issues notice against
Akbar Baig and Achala.
They are prohibited from leaving the city
until the conclusion of the case.
They must report weekly to the investigating officer.
Ms. Achala is charged with perjury
for giving false statements,
and is fined 10,000 rupees.
For illegal clauses in the contract,
under Indian Judicial Act Sections 45 and 61,
the court fines Mr. Akbar Baig 50,000 rupees.
Further, the court orders
Seven Brothers Production
to suspend all operations until the case is concluded.
Adjourned.
Akbar Baig and Jessu Momin's company,
Seven Brothers Production,
was found guilty of exploiting women.
Advocate Amar Vishwas argued in court today,
clearly exposing
how women were forced to work
for the personal satisfaction of these two men.
And if they refused,
they were penalised 30 million rupees.
Sir.
Tell me... how did this agreement leak?
Sir, surprises like this don't scare me.
This game will now be played with complete planning.
I admit...
I had no clue how he appeared
in court with the agreement like Mr. India.
You should have used his mother's illness.
You knew she was unwell.
You could've claimed he needed to fly to Dubai.
You could've asked for special permission.
There were several options.
But sir, this case is far from over.
This game of check and mate has only just begun.
And don't worry...
we will defeat Amar Vishwas.
-Sushil ji. -Yes, sir.
Do you know why I recommend you?
Do you?
No, sir.
Because I admire your confidence.
Thank you, sir.
But this time, I want results.
You'll get them, sir.
When I told you to delete all the emails,
Achala, why didn't you?
I deleted everything.
In fact, I didn't send that contract to anyone on email.
Is that so?
Then how did they get hold of copies of your contract?
Are you sure you sent it to no one?
And deleted everything?
Actually...
I sent it to a cousin of mine.
I send him all contracts and scripts
for Babaji's blessings.
Achala, you realise you've ruined us, right?
Mr. Sushil, tell us what to do.
Say something.
First, both of you need to calm down.
We're calm. Now speak.
Ms. Achala,
go meet Bahar.
I'll arrange permission.
Win her confidence.
Because the rest of this case
rests on her testimony.
If she doesn't name either of you,
your involvement
will eventually be buried.
And I'll use that opportunity
to get the travel restrictions lifted.
Okay.
What are you doing here?
I want to meet Bahar.
I've already told you, Madam.
I will personally inform you when it's possible.
For now, please leave.
Shivli, show her out.
Wait a minute, sir.
I have permission.
Why did you come so late to meet me?
I tried to meet you earlier.
But these people wouldn't allow me.
It took a lot of effort to get permission today.
Tell me something...
When I was going to meet Jessu...
did you spike the soft drink
you offered me?
Yes.
It was just an anti-anxiety pill and...
Look, you were about to do something major.
I wanted you to stay calm.
But you should have told me first.
If I had told you, Bahar, would you have agreed?
You would've panicked.
Whatever the reason...
if you mixed something in my drink,
you should've informed me.
All this is because of...
Bahar, listen to me.
I've spoken to Akbar sir.
He'll get you out of here very soon.
Prosecutor, you may begin.
Thank you, Your Honour.
Mr. Sudarshan...
where were you on the night of 25th August?
On the night Jessu Momin was murdered...
where were you?
Do you remember?
Or...
let me make it easier for you.
That night,
you were in the lobby of Hotel Sun and Beach.
From there, you suddenly disappeared.
Tell the court...
did you disappear on your own,
or did someone make you disappear?
Excuse me... I'm sorry, but...
Your Honour,
what kind of nonsense is this?
The defence said
the case would move forward
once Sudarshan was found.
Sudarshan has been found, yet the case hasn't moved an inch.
He remembers nothing.
He is of no use to this court.
Your Honour,
Sudarshan has just come out of a rehabilitation centre.
He's still traumatised.
If he's given a little more time...
Time? Your Honour,
he asked for time earlier and the court granted it.
Now he's asking for time again.
He is clearly wasting the court's time.
He's trying to shift focus
from Bahar Chakravarty to someone else.
That's my submission.
Defence, this is unforgivable.
You cannot present a witness in this court like this.
Until Mr. Sudarshan's medical treatment is complete,
and until he is declared fit,
you are not permitted to present him before this court.
I am issuing a warning letter.
Additionally, a complaint will be filed
with the Bar Council to set an example.
Thank you, Your Honour.
Adjourned.
Bahar has gone to meet Jessu
at Hotel Sun and Beach.
Bahar!
What happened?
Tavde, hold him.
What happened?
Sir...
Calm down.
What's going on?
Order. Order.
Order!
