days later, Hatya finds himself in prison, framed for carrying
out flesh trade. The guy howls that he hasn’t slaughtered a single
buffalo but his plea falls on bribed ears. This is a ploy on the
part of the director so that he could meet Bhikari Mhatre - the
underworld don who makes crores in a day and yet can afford to
buy eggs for his children only on Sundays. Bhikari and Hatya indulge
in the customary brawl required to make them bosom buddies for
life. Hatya is bailed out by his new influential pal and finds
employment as a killer in his gang. Promised perks include a flat
opposite Urmila Matondkar, a crow, horse and sparrow. Initially
Hatya isn’t excited as he was never heavily into the animal welfare.
To his pleasure, he realizes that the animals refer to a mobile,
gun and pager. Urmila (Vidya) tho is a disappointment...her wardrobe
is exclusively comprised of ‘unrevealing kaamwalibai saris’ that
reflect her sorry taste. |

Hatya
has the pleasure of meeting the gang & Mallu mama whose baldpate is
regularly shampooed with frothy beer at post blood bath bashes. He
and the 4 yr old kids among the audience upgrade their ‘gaali’ vocabulary.
One of Bhikari’s men is mercilessly gunned down by a rival gangster
for cracking a sick PJ. Bhikari captures one of the killers, cleans
his(the killer’s) nose and then kills him while Hatya sulks over his
babe being referred to as an item of a restaurant’s menu.

Bhikari’s
next target is Chalu Narayan who loves applying kajal liberally
under his eyes. But Pav, the head gangster cum wannabe politician
doesn’t want any ‘bloodstains’ on his white ministerial kurta.
The congenitally disobedient spoilt brat, Hatya and Bhikari corner
Chalu on a footbridge... Bhikari has one of his momentary lapses
of reason... he gets hysterical, kicks Chalu, hugs him, spits
abuses, spits spittle, gets senti... Hatya pumps 3 bullets into
him. They’re lucky as not a single commuter disturbs the peaceful
scene... Simply because no one’s there. |
| Vidya
is propositioned by a Bappi Lahiri lookalike. Hatya’s cronies
threaten him with an indigestion-inducing bullet and he signs
on Vidya as a playback singer. But Hatya himself is let down when
her ‘Geela Geela Sari’ song is cut from the movie (oops sorry,
it’s ‘Geela Geela paani’, the song that conclusively proves that
water is wet.) They walk all over the Chowpatty beach before it
was ‘cleaned’ by the cultural police. Vidya mistakes the gun in
his pocket for... |

The
city has a new Police commissioner, Amood Shukla who freaks
out on giving funda on the encounter theory. But Amood’s
role is shorter than that of a beer bottle that features
in one of the songs. He falls prey to Hatya’s bullet that
now starts aping its master and is silent. Hatya takes
Vidya out for a movie... and the theatre is surrounded
by angry n’ desperate cops. To escape detection Hatya
takes his revolver and fires at the floor... alas, he’s
not too good a marksman...the bullet pierces his big toe
and he limps home to safety.
Hatya
wants Bhikari’s help in choosing a gift for Vidya. Bhikari
displays the height of humanitarianism by actually buying
a diamond ring from a jewelry shop without spilling blood
all over the place! Hatya wants to marry before Vidya
realises that her boyfriend’s idea of a bloody Mary is
quite different from hers. Bhikari promises to export
him to Dubai. Pav celebrates his election victory by treating
Bhikari to a cocktail of Whisky and a bullet in his head.
Puts an end to Bhikari’s non-stop laughter and relieves
many a headache

Hatya
wants to seek vengeance as his ‘Bhai to Dubai with Vidyabai’
plan is shattered. Meanwhile Vidya is interrogated by
a tuff cop and is completely disillusioned with Hatya
and her insignificant role in the movie. Pav dyes his
whiskers with Holi colours and worships a gigantic Ganpati
on a crowded beach. Hatya stabs him viciously and then
hugs him to pay his respects. Mallu mama pulls him away
and Hatya now gets senti for a last dekko of Vidya. It’s
also his last chance for one of his longer dialogues in
the movie (Vidya Darwaza Kholo). He’s shot down and the
following message is displayed on the screen

“
I feel as sorry for Hatya’s Telugu accent as for the people
who were subjected to it”
