Mahika.

[Zico] Boss, that assh*le Armaan
said yes to Mahika's film.

[Armaan] There is only one God
and that is the star.

And you think you're God?
Wake up. [snaps fingers]

It's pack-up!

[Yasmin] Agent Haseena
is my film!

And you went after my own film?

I know you are there.

You dance well,

so I gave you multiple songs
to dance to.

You can neither act to save your life
nor have an iota of talent to survive!

Prithvi, you joined Viktory because
you wanted to tell your own story.

So? Where is your story?

[Prithvi] I invited you
to their house to meet them,

but not so you can meddle
in their personal lives.

Even I don't have the right
to do that.

[Saajan] Time can be so strange.

You were like a king
on Viktory's throne a few weeks ago.

With style and panache.

And today you're mingling with us
at our humble abode.

[doctor] Yasmin, you're pregnant.

♪ Yeah ♪

♪ She's not a baby
She's a babe ♪

♪ My love
Please do me a favour... ♪

Is this really going to be
my first film?

Karma is a bitch.

[chuckles]

The last three films

of this genre are already hits
at the box office.

Let this one release.
We'll start our very own franchise

like a Spy Verse maybe?

-Hmm.
-[Arshad cackles excitedly]

Oh, boy, this film will be a riot!

The crowds are going to
flock to the theatres.

What a banger of an opening song
by Badshah! Love you, homie!

[electric guitars playing]

Hey, one second, one second.
Pause, pause, pause.

-Hey, Mukesh!
-What is this nonsense?

What happened?

"Raghu Khanna's" Screw Dheela?

It should be
Viktory's name up there, right?

Oh, yes. [sighs]

So, Victor and Raghu had a deal.

Raghu gets to present the films
that he green-lights.

But it's a Viktory Studio project.

We're the ones putting in the work.

I mean, are we getting anything
from the profits,

or will your Raghu
take all of it too?

[quizzical music]

Well, we'll be able to cover
outstanding expenses and salaries.

That leaves us with
the distributors' share

and the entertainment tax.

So, then?

Then, we'll just break even.

We're making films,

running a studio,
not a charitable institution.

It's Viktory's project,
and it will be Viktory's profit too.

f*ck it, man. Take his name out
of there. We don't need it.

Huh?

[riveting opening music]

[music fades out]

[thunder strikes]

[people moaning in pain]

[man] Stay put.

Be careful. Try getting up slowly.

[army general] If things go on
this way,

we'll lose half our troops
before reaching Delhi.

The enemies are outnumbering us,
and we have no options left.

It would be wise to accept
all the conditions

laid out by the British government.

Never.

Not till my last breath.

We will put our blood
and tears on the line

and birth a new nation.

People will remember our epic sagas
for generations to come.

They will remember
how we fought the battle of terror

with wisdom and values

and how we emerged victorious.

All that will be remembered
will be the independence.

Wars, victories and determination,

an independent nation tends to
remember none of this.

We will die for independence.

We will fight for independence.

And if death
still doesn't bring us independence,

we will not stop.

We will keep going.

-[Satya] And cut!
-[Meena sighs]

[Satya] Whoo!

-Meena, Meena! The way you held it.
-[coughs, sniffles]

-The way you held that emotion...
-Thank you.

I mean, I literally had goosebumps.

-Seriously?
-I'm telling you,

I'm telling you
you're going to be my find!

-Thank you, sir.
-This is what we call acting.

[spot boy] Armaan sir walking
to the vanity.

Move aside, please.

[Sanjay] Come on, man!
Armaan is acting up again.

He is refusing to get out
of his vanity van.

assh*le.

[woman] Someone should bring
Mahika ma'am to set.

Or else there is no sh**t
guaranteed today.

-[birds chirping]
-[people snoring]

[inhales sharply]

[inhales sharply]

[straining to talk]
When did you guys come?

[whispers] Give me a second.

[Armaan exhales]

[sighs]

Wim Hof breathing.

Have you guys ever tried it?

You know Tom Cruise
once held his breath for 8 minutes

for a stunt.

Just because of Wim Hof breathing.

It really works.

It reduces your stress instantly.

Sorry.

-I couldn't continue the sh**t.
-No, it's fine.

Tell me something.

What is acting?

[comical music]

Acting is simply reacting.

But I can't react
to my own acting now, can I?

-[chuckles awkwardly]
-It will be very funny.

So, for me to react,

my co-actor has to act.

Right?

But that poor thing, she...

she just isn't able to pull it off.

No, but the rushes seem fine.

And I believe
Meena is really talented.

I think she is amazing.

Talent.

Honestly, talent is
a very confusing territory.

Let's not go there.

What you may consider talent,
I might not.

And vice versa too, maybe.

[Armaan] Hmm?

Prithvi is very talented.

Make him face the camera.

Ask him to act.

Will he be able to do it?
The film will t*nk, right?

Don't take it personally, buddy.

What you do...
Whatever it is that you do,

I'm sure you're very good at it.

But not as an actor, right?

Meena has the same problem.

She can anchor a reality show, but...

Being a quintessential
Hindi movie heroine?

[inhales, sighs]

I think...

we have no choice but to...

What? Replace her?

Those are not my words.

They are yours.

But...

what you're saying
actually makes sense.

Right?

I haven't told you guys
the most important thing yet.

You see,
I'm a very spiritual person.

I...

shut my eyes

and spoke to the legendary
Tatya Tope and Rani Laxmibai.

-I asked them to name an actor...
-[mouths] What the f*ck!

...who can do justice to
their souls 1,000 years later.

One who can add bravado
to their legacies.

And can you believe it?

I heard a voice inside of me.

Armaan.

Again, those are your words,
not mine.

But what you're saying is right.

He got that.

You know...

it's going to be
very difficult for us, but

we have no options left
to salvage our film.

I understand your concern, Armaan.

But I don't think, as a producer,
I can afford any other crisis.

And this film needed

a solid superstar like you

and also a new
and promising actress like Meena.

So, I made that happen.

So, according to me,

Meena will continue to be
the leading actress in this film.

[b*at drops]

Um, you let us know
whenever you feel better.

We can reschedule the sh**t
as per your convenience.

Okay.

Cool.

As you wish.

We'll see you.

[announcer] Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

Introducing Lucky Lover.

[energetic music]

[guard] Ma'am, how are you here
so early?

The call time is at 9:00 a.m.

Come, sit.

Wasn't 6:00 a.m. the call time
given to us?

I'm sure it was 6:00 a.m., ma'am.

-[man] And action!
-[men grunting]

Pull Meena up!

[rapping] ♪ They call him Lucky
So sensitive and touchy ♪

♪ If ever he gets hurt
He strikes with great fury ♪

♪ Riding on his ego
He hits back and swiftly ♪

♪ With a calm charade
He avenges his foes ♪

[Armaan] Wait a minute, cut!

-[man] Cut!
-[Armaan] Cut.

-Cut it, please.
-[man] What's wrong?

What would my character
be feeling right now?

-Anger.
-Just anger?

Yes, that works. Anger works.

Just been waiting for over 2 hours.

He's coming soon apparently.

[woman] Ready, guys?
Armaan sir has arrived.

♪ Lucky, lucky, lucky Lover ♪

-[Armaan] Let's go, guys. Let's go!
-[car door shuts]

-[woman] Good morning, sir.
-Is everyone awake finally?

What a morning!

[chuckles awkwardly] Good morning.

My treadmill gave up on me
this morning.

-Oh.
-Can you imagine, Tina?

You like running, Tina?

-Sir, I'm Meen--
-Don't worry.

I'll make you run.

Come on, guys. I hate wasting time
on the set, man.

-[man 1] Come on, let's go, let's go!
-[man 2] Action.

-[men grunting]
-[sword swishes]

-Wait a minute, cut!
-[man 1] Cut it!

-[Armaan] Satya!
-What happened?

[Satya] Can you please make it fast
because she's hanging on the harness?

Harnesses these days
are really comfortable.

And Tina is
a very strong girl, right?

Meena, sir. Thank you.

-[man 3] Let's go for the take.
-[energetic, comedic music]

[rapping] ♪ His style is unique
So full of deceit ♪

♪ Whatever he says
Is not what he means ♪

♪ He is so vain
Full of disdain ♪

Turn up the volume.

A dark agenda reigns ♪

There we go.

-♪ Lucky, lucky, lucky Lover ♪
-Come on, close it down.
What the hell, man?

The sh**t is halted yet again!

Now, Meena won't budge
till she meets Mahika.

Why don't you make Mahika
the AD and fire me?

[door opens]

[door shuts]

-Hi, Meena.
-[sniffles]

I can't take this anymore.

He's made a joke out of me.

Do you really think
I deserve all this?

No, you don't.

Meena, you don't deserve
any of this.

Meena, the thing is...

nothing is in my hands as of now.

Really?

Mahika, you... [sighs]

You run this mammoth studio,
and you want me to believe that--

Meena.

I know how talented you are.

Spotting and acknowledging talent
isn't everything.

You have to back that talent
as well.

Through all the ups and downs.

[sombre music]

But let it be. You...
You're like everybody else, so go.

Chase your star. Go.

[Satya] Unbelievable.

Armaan over Meena?

Seriously?



You know this is unfair.

We always encourage mediocrity.

This film needed
an actor like Meena,

not a g*dd*mn star like Armaan.

I know what you mean, Satya.

But I had to make a difficult decision,
and I made it at this stage.

-[fabric rustling, chain jingling]
-[introspective music]

[phone rings]

Yes, who's this?

[man] Hello, ma'am. I'm calling
from Dr. Seth's clinic.

I wanted to confirm your appointment
for Friday morning.

Um, yes. Friday I'll be there.

Ma'am, the doctor wanted to know
if the father would also be joining.

I'll let you know in some time.
Thank you.

[beeps]

There is something that's missing.

I can't... I can't figure out what.

What happened, Sarika?

Oh, Manish!

I don't know, darling. I just feel
like something is missing.

I can't put my finger on it.

-[fabric rustling]
-[sighs]

Six yards of grace
is what you're missing.

You know what, I made
a beautiful outfit for Rekha-ji...

-Okay.
-...last week.

I'll just show that to you.
Let me get that for you. Yeah?

Okay. Thank you. [chuckles]
So sweet.

[heels clicking]

[Sarika humming]

How am I looking?

[Raghu] Oh, don't worry about Mahika.
I will deal with her.

Let the film release. Okay?

[exhales]

[sighs]

My darling,

I think it's time that Raghu
and you settle down together.

Okay?

Or maybe not.

But remember one thing.

The decision should be yours.

Don't ever hand over that power
to anyone.

[introspective music]

Okay?

[music rises]

Sir, just 50 bucks, 50 bucks.

Hi, Yasmin!

You see? It's you. Yasmin!

[phone rings]

-Raghu, actually--
-Uh-uh. Give me a second.

Yes, Saajan-ji. Tell me.

Mr. Khanna, when are we meeting?

Montu has started his training
in full swing.

Saajan-ji, I was just caught up with
things, so I couldn't think it over.

Think about it.

-Take your time.
-Okay.

[people chattering]

[chair creaks]

[Aditi] Hey!

-[Mahika] So good to see you, man.
-[Aditi] Same here.

Good, man. Come.

Here comes the nepo kid.

Let's go to our old spot. Better.

[sizzling]

[Aditi] Finally, we're meeting, man.

Cheap booze, delicious food
and all your gossip.

How could I refuse?

How's the sh**t going?

I feel like I'm losing myself
trying to run Viktory.

Don't b*at around the bush.
Tell me.

-[whispers] f*ck it.
-What happened?

I'm already tired of
this industry, honestly.

First, it was Armaan and now Raghu.

My life is such a mess right now.

Raghu wants the credit for
Screw Dheela and its profits too.

This is just getting
f*cking difficult.

Hmm.

You know what?
I have some major gossip.

This news will destroy him.

[riveting music builds]

[b*at drops]

[receptionist] Good morning, sir

-Hi, Raghu sir!
-[phone rings]

[peon] Sir, just two minutes, please.

What happened?

Sir, ma'am is busy right now.

Shall I bring you a glass of water?

-[door bangs open]
-[music stops]

My time is way too precious,
so make it quick.

Have a seat.

Here, have some sweets.

In honour of Screw Dheela's success.

So, the buzz is that the film
is going to be a hit.

What's that they say
in the industry?

The film is hot as hell!

Tell me something new.

It's Raghu Khanna's Screw Dheela.

It's bound to be hot.

You're too proud of your own name,
aren't you?

Viktory Studios presents
Screw Dheela.

Now that sounds hot as hell,
doesn't it?

I'll offer you some free advice.

Credit isn't demanded.

It is earned.

Now, I green-lit this film sitting
on that very throne of yours.

Hmm. So then, it should bear
Viktory's stamp, shouldn't it?

Fine, I'll let you keep the credit
but profit partnership?

That I don't agree with.

You take the credit;

Viktory Studio keeps the profits.

Whether you agree or not
doesn't matter to me.

I'm simply following the contract.


will be my share.


will also be mine.

[chuckles] You're really
on a trip with your spiel, huh?



[scoffs]

Come on now. You didn't even tell me
that Yasmin is pregnant?

-That definitely calls for celebration.
-[tense music]

Hmm?

You know what I really think?

I think she needs a good rest,

and her happiness is of
utmost importance right now.

My dearest Uncle,

I have no intention
of spreading this news.

But you know the industry.

They love to talk.

Chinese whispers.

I'll consider this
a done deal, then?

See you at the premiere,
my dearest Uncle!

[door bangs shut]

[exhales]

R-Raghu,

I w-want to say something to you.

I'm happy, but not happy at all.

Actually, it's s-something serious...

I mean, it's big news.

-R-Raghu, I... I am--
-[Raghu] Yasmin?

Yasmin!

[heels clicking]

Yasmin! Have you f*cking
lost your mind?

-Are you even in your senses?
-Raghu?

You're using pregnancy as an excuse
to emotionally blackmail me?

What are you even saying?

Do you even know the situation
you have landed me into?

Our personal life was already
a topic of public discussion.

If this gets out,
we will be shredded to bits.

God knows who else knows about this.

No one knows!

And anyway,
this is not just my problem.

You are equally involved in this.

Of course.

My name, my career, my company,

everything is at stake right now!

How are we going to start
a family right now?

Do you just want me
to leave everything?

And, Yas,

if the media gets
even a whiff of this,

you will lose everything.

[scoffs]

I have already lost everything.

I also put everything at stake
for my film.

And you handed that over
to Mandira conveniently

without even consulting me once.

Oh!

So, this is your revenge? I see.

Ugh.

Yas.

I gave her the film to keep
the studio alive and kicking.

Because of that decision,
I have three more films lined up.

Pick a script and get started.

Keep your false promises
to yourself.

You have neither a film to offer me
nor any form of love.

And anyway, why would you want
to make a film with me?

You think I can't act
to save my life.

Tell me something.

Why would you want to marry
a man who thinks you lack talent?

Neither do I have my father's studio
nor my inheritance.

I have no gold for you to dig, Yas.

Huh? Then, why?

If I was with you for the wealth,
I would have ditched you

the day Viktory was taken from you.

I stood by you
when you were all alone!

Because I loved you then.

And the f*ck-up is...

I still love you.

[music softens]

You love me?

Then, do me a favour.

Get rid of it.

[heavy mournful music]

[breathes heavily]

[Paromita] Oh, Poopoo.
You could have called me over.

I could have helped you move.

All is good, Ma. Come over
when things are set.

You don't need your mom
anymore, do you?

It's not like that.

You're happy, right?

That makes me happy.

Why did you gift me
such an expensive phone?

I mean, don't waste your money,
my dear.

First of all, I'm not wasting
my money.

It is nothing compared to all that
you have done for me, Ma.

[melancholic music]

[Prithvi] I just got back today.

I had gone to meet Surbhi.

And...

I was a fool
that I did not see it before.

Sometimes, it all seems perfect
on the outside.

So, we take things for granted.

She couldn't speak to me about it.

And why?

I think that's my fault.

-Maybe I wasn't there for her.
-Baby...

-I should have known better.
-It's not your fault.

-I could have spoken to her earlier.
-It's not your fault.

It's not so easy to break
our conditioning

because accepting that is
also questioning our upbringing

and our parents.

[exhales]

Yeah, you're right.

This is my story.

This is what I want to write about.

It's important.

I'm with you,

no matter what.

I promise.

[music turns hopeful]

[paparazzi, reporters chattering]

[car squeals]

-[men] She's here, she's coming!
-[women] Mahika ma'am!

[man 1] Guys, guys, move.

-[man 2] Wait, wait, look, she's here!
-[man 3] Mahika ma'am!

[cameras clicking]

Umm, wait a second.

[mouths] What are you doing?

Like I said, it's my first film,
so it was very challenging--

-Raghu Khanna is here!
-Guys, guys, move!

[cane taps]

-[cameras clicking]
-[people shouting excitedly]

Raghu sir! One picture, please, sir!

-Sir.
-Ma'am.

Nice outfit.

Nice cane.

[woman] Sir, sir! One family photo!
Please, sir!

[music turns energetic]

[everyone cheering] Armaan!

[fangirl] Armaan, one selfie!

Please, sir!

[men] Saira ma'am, look here!

Saira ma'am, to your left.

Screw Dheela. [chuckles]

A very important film for me.

The title suggests
that a screw is loose, but trust me,

Raghu has tightened
everyone's screws in Bollywood.

[Neha] According to me,
it's a milestone in cinematic history.

This is just the beginning, and tonight
it's all about play and no work,

so... let's celebrate.

I need all your blessings.

This is a very special film.

My last film with my father.

[man 1] Sir, we are missing
Victor sir today!

-Thank you.
-[man 2] RK, where is Yasmin ma'am?

[man 2] Where is your other half?

She must be on her way.

[woman 1] Congratulations
on your film!

[woman 2] The film is hot as hell!

QUEEN OF
BOLLYWOOD

[soft music]

[door opens]

[door shuts]

[music fades out]

[both whisper] Hi.

So, we've dealt with a lot on 1857,

including the bad publicity.

Prithvi, I really need you.

Especially after the whole
Meena fiasco, man.

sh**t, reshoot, action sequences,
there's a lot of work.

[inhales deeply]

Satya and I... we both need you.

Yeah... Yeah, I'll get it done.

Also, Mahi,

my film...

I have scheduled a narration for it.

With whom?

Nitesh.

I'm meeting Nitesh Tiwari.

-That's great!
-Yes.

But you know what, I am thinking
we need someone who's new.

What if we get someone
who's more... younger,

gets a fresh vibe?

Someone like Satya?

Come on, Mahi. No, no, no.

Satya is not fit for this story.

This cause applies to people
all over India.

Not just a small set of people.

So, Satya just doesn't work for me.

Okay, fine.
It was just a suggestion.

[music fades out]

[Raghu] Friends,

when someone doesn't understand
the worth of a diamond,

you need a fine-eyed jeweller
to value and cherish it.

Raghu Khanna looks at talent,
not just the name.

Because if you're talented,
name and fame will follow.

Guru?

Thank you, Raghu.

I'm honoured

that I'm getting the opportunity
to work with a diamond

chosen by a fine-eyed jeweller
like you.

So, without wasting any more time,

I'm going to introduce you

to Agent Haseena's latest
and newest star,

Mandira's new co-star
and also our second lead.

A rising star on OTT platforms.

She will soon light up
the silver screen.

The unstoppable...

Meena Chandra.

[people clapping, cheering]

-[intriguing music]
-[whistling]

Come on, you guys can fire away.

-[reporters] Sir, sir.
-Meena, congratulations.

-Thank you.
-I'm sure

you've been waiting for this day
with bated breath.

But tell me how you feel today.

Yes, of course I have.

But, to be honest,
today is even more special for me.

And that is only because
I'm sitting next to Mandira ma'am.

Thank you.

You know, this news has brought
a lot of excitement

but also a little surprise.

On the one hand,
there is speculation

that Armaan Singh has
kicked you out of 1857.

On the other hand,

you are now doing this film
with his wife.

Actually--

May I?

Sure, ma'am. Of course.

[tsks] Come on, Nayan.

How long have you been around
in this industry?

You know that
Armaan always respects new talent.

And in all these years,
he has launched so many fresh faces.

Decisions like these
are not taken by the actors.

[intimidating music]

It was a mere clash of dates
between two films.

They didn't want to adjust, so...

I had to drop out.

And honestly, right now,

I only want to concentrate
on one character and one film.

And for me, right now, that is

Raghu Khanna's Agent Haseena.

-[clapping]
-[swords clashing]

[men grunting, shouting]

[screams]

-[swords clashing]
-[men grunting]

[shouts]

And cut!

-Very good! Very good sh*t! Okay?
-Okay.

Very good.

Can we call Armaan for a close-up?

Sure, sure, please do.

-Sanjay, call him.
-Very good.

And keep his entourage
far away from me.

[Satya] So, what do you think?

Honestly,

I just think three days

is just not enough time
to sh**t the whole sequence.

-I know.
-[chair scrapes]

Three days?

Sir, why do you treat
foreign crew like royalty?

Rehearsals for seven days,
three days for sh**ting.

Sir, I can finish this in one day.

[door bangs open]

Sir, he...

Sir, Armaan sir has left.

If he's left home,
why has he not reached yet?

I mean, he has left the location.

He is not in his vanity van,
and neither is his car here.

Where the f*ck did he go?

What the hell happened this time?

Sir, I think this happened.

[tense music]

sh*t.

I don't give a f*ck about this!
We need to sh**t today. That's it!

Call Prithvi. Call him.

Tried twice already.
He's not picking up our calls.

f*cking unbelievable!

[Prithvi] In a relationship
that spanned over 25 years,

she had only experienced
pain and scars.

Physical scars fade away with time,

but the pain that she experienced

she couldn't take anymore.

[phone vibrates, shuts off]

In front of her whole family,
she looks into his eyes...

Hello? Hi, Satya. I'm on my way.
Tell me.

No, no. I'll figure it out.
Listen, is Prithvi there?

Okay, okay. Okay, let me get there.
I'll figure this out.

[whispers] f*ck!

Does anyone else care
about this movie other than me?

She keeps walking and--

[phone vibrates]

[Nitesh] Go for it,

if you want.

No, sir. That's fine.

Holy f*ck!

-Bro, check this sh*t out!
-Oh, f*ck!

[man 1] Did you see Armaan's new scoop?
Bloody pervert!

Check your messages!

[man 2] Armaan is ripped,

but the dude in the picture
is skinny as hell!

[reporter] Happily married Armaan
lands into a soup.

Armaan Singh's latest scandal.

These pictures are out.
His car pictures are out.

What are we doing?

Whatever contacts you have
in the press,

Rohit, Soumil, Manan, Viraj,

whichever assholes we have
on my payroll,

just reach out to them and
tell them that this news is fake.

k*ll it as soon as possible!

[tense music continues]

-[man 1] There she is!
-[man 2] Hey, there she is!

Is it true that you're with Armaan?

[reporter] Armaan Singh
and his former co-star Saira Mistry

have made headlines today.

The news of their affair
has spread like wildfire

Be it the newspapers,

daily gossip or memes on Twitter,
they're everywhere!

[tapping keyboard]

[notification dinging]

[musical crescendo, fades out]

f*ck you, man!

[crowd] Boycott Armaan!

Boycott Armaan!

Boycott Armaan!

Boycott Armaan!

Boycott Armaan!

Boycott Armaan!

Boycott Armaan!

Armaan Singh is an absolute cheat!

A womaniser like him does not deserve
to play the role of Tatya Tope!

This is blasphemy!

Our organisation is starting

a protest against him,

and this protest will go on

till Armaan Singh
is kicked out of 1857!

[crowd shouting] Boycott Armaan!

Boycott Armaan!

[crowd] Boycott Armaan!

Boycott Armaan!

Boycott Armaan!

Boycott Armaan!

-[music intensifies]
-[Raghu snickers]

Nice work, Zico.

[both snicker]

He messed with you, boss.
I wouldn't have let him get off easy.

[phone ringing]

[sighs] Rustom-ji,
I was about to call you.

The sh**t has been halted for a bit,
but everything is under control.

I wouldn't have had to call you
if everything were in control.

Listen to me carefully.

Alliances can break as easily
as they were once formed.

I'll sort it out.

It's a sh*t show.

[theme music]

[tax officer] If you're going
to evade taxes,

we'll have to come knocking
on your door, right?

[Saajan] How did you like
my Diwali extravaganza, Mahika-ji?

If you give me a chance,
you'll see what I can do for you.

Mandy, I miss you.

You should embrace that sympathy,
capitalise on it.

[Yasmin] I'm running away from
that suffocating world!

Take all your favours along
and leave me alone!

-You don't have to blast out like this!
-How do you think you will fix this?

-We will do our job! You do--
-Have you guys had enough?

Shut up, all of you!

So, the verdict is,

without Satya, there is no 1857.

Leave the creative decisions
to me now.

You focus on showcasing
the magic of your beauty.

You put Viktory up for sale!

Mahika, I have built this very studio
that you are standing in right now!

I'll tell you
what is important for you.

Money and power.

[Raghu] You have screwed up
far too many times.

It's my turn now.

Viktory is still alive.

-[motorbike whirrs]
-[glass shatters]

And the next time
you speak of my father,

I swear on him...

[bangs table]
