" l'll explain I'll explain..." "Take your pants off..." "Come on, take your pants off..." "Are you deaf!" "?" "Worm!" "Point a finger at me, will you!" "?" "Pick him up!" "Pick him up!" "I'll open your pants..." "Strip the bastard naked." "Act tough with me, will you?" "Say you're sorry...say it!" "Strip him...strip him completely..." "Today I'll fix you!" "Lick this shit like a dog." "No please..." "Tie him to the window." "Tie him to the window." "Teach him a lesson." "I'm Sharat Saxena" "I'm not only the Warden of this Hostel, I also teach in the university." "I'll be teaching you for the next four years." "It'll be my pleasure Sir." "Shantaram!" "Show him his room." "Thank you Sir." "If you need anything," "Just let me know." "Ok." "Your name?" "Karan." "Where've you come from?" "Mumbai." "Pay up 2000 bucks." "For what?" "Any problem son?" "No Sir." "He's refusing to pay the rent." "See son," "You've got to spend four years here." "We'll all take good care of you." "You understand, don't you?" "Sir, he's defying you too." "He's new around here." "You should understand that." "He'll understand everything soon." "Come on, everyone out!" "let him settle down," "Out everyone!" "Thank God they are gone." "The bastards!" "I'm Vishnu Pandey, your room mate." "I'm in first year, Engineering." "Karan." "Don't worry," "All this happens." "Tolerate it for four years, then take your degree and get out." "Come, I'll introduce you to my friends." "Come." "This is Nilesh." "This is Bobby." "Bobby's a major sportsman,..." "Be careful of him." "And this is Karan." "What time is dinner served here?" "Never before 9 p.m." "Are you really hungry?" "Don't worry." "3 hours will pass quickly." "Walk, you fatso!" " l'm walking..." "We get only vegetarian food here." "They cook well." "But they use too much oil." "That's very fattening." "Anyway, I'm on a diet these days." "Eat it now." "Feroz Sir," "He's refusing to pay the rent for his room." "If I see this guy eating in the mess, I'll beat you up right there." "Yes Sir, yes Sir." "So you're starving, eh?" "I'll give you some water first." "Drink this." "Drink it." "Akshay, Stop it!" "Be careful." "Don't fracture his bones." "It could become a criminal offence." "Beat him carefully." "What're you waiting for?" "Karan, I hope you've reached safely." "Yes." "What's wrong with your voice?" "Nothing Uncle, nothing..." "Are you alright son?" "Uncle, I'm perfectly alright." "I hope you've been allotted a room" "Yes." "Are you getting proper food?" "Yeah, the food's good here." "Fine, Take care..." "Bye now, don't forget to call..." "Fine." "The bastards!" "This is for you." "Have it." "Thanks." "Why doesn't anyone oppose Feroz?" "Because he's the General Secretary of the University." "That guy?" "He's the General Secretary?" "Yes, everyone fears him." "All these guys are 28 or 30 years old." "Feroz is 30 years old." "And he's still a student." "See, there's a difference." "We are here to study," "But their motives are different." "Feroz fails every year on purpose," "His years in the university have made him influential." "That's how he became General Secretary." "He's backed by the State Govt." "He'll be absorbed into their Party." "And he'll enter State Politics." "That's his ambition." "He's using the university as a stepping stone, ...to enter State Politics." "And he enjoys all luxuries here," "We do his laundry and cleaning," "And he extorts money from us too." "He won't get such luxury outside." "That's why he doesn't want to leave the Hostel." "But..." "Forget it." "It's time for the lectures." "Come..." "The term just began," "But the Tests are already on." "Are you prepared?" "No." "You Karan?" "No." "You've joined the Term late." "We're going to the library..." "See you... ls the time table out?" "Let's check..." "How're you boys?" "Everything's alright?" "I hope you have no problem" "Very good." "You've got a Test day after?" "Are you prepared?" "Don't worry, I'll help you." "Come." "If have any problem, lf have any problem," "Walk straight into my office." "Are you confident that you'll pass?" "No Sir." "And you?" "See, I can leak the Test papers to you." "It'll cost only Rs. 10,000." "We don't have that much money." "Don't have the money?" "Get up!" "Get up and get out!" "What now?" "I'm not prepared at all." "We'll study together," "We'll make it." "Open up!" "He's shitting bricks!" "Four Eyes!" "Why're you afraid?" "We've stripped you so many times,..." "We've come for him." "Get up!" "Take your clothes off." "Take off your pants." "Take it off!" "He's a pretty boy,..." "Do it, or else..." "Please spare us today,..." "We have a Test day after,..." "All we want is a Cabaret dance." "Four Eyes!" "Put the stereo on..." "Do a striptease,..." "Strip..." "He's pretty..." "The more you resist," "The more you'll suffer." "Entertain us nicely," "And we'll leave you alone." "Ask him,..." "He's done it so many times." "It's nothing,..." "We've all done it." "Just do it." "Feeling shy?" "We'll fix that." "We'll make you shameless." "Look at him!" "A freshman in our college!" "We explained the rules to him," "But this mannerless duffer is stubborn." "He has no regard for his seniors." "We explained to him, ...that this is just an initiation." "But he doesn't understand." "We explained to him," "That your seniors are your parents." "So why feel shy of us?" "But now he won't feel shy!" "He'll become tough!" "He'll get ready to face the world." "We're doing you a favour," "You won't understand today," "You'll appreciate us later." "For turning you into a Man." "Staring at me?" "The Show's over!" "Back to your Hostels!" "Karan, you failed the Test?" "But you were always a bright student,..." "What's the matter?" "Absolutely nothing Uncle..." "Are you hiding something from me?" "Uncle, stop fussing over me, I can take care of myself!" "See Karan, This is between you and them." "We can't interfere." "But Sir, I can't concentrate on my studies." "I'm a merit list student, I've never failed before." "Maybe you could seek accommodation elsewhere?" "Sir, I don't have the money." "See, these guys are hooligans." "I understand your problem," "But there's nothing I can do." "I'm really sorry Karan." "What can you do against them?" "They enjoy doing all this." "They are bloody Sadists!" "They are a gang of 20 ruffians," "You'll fight them all alone?" "Even if you beat up one of them," "Tomorrow they'll hit back," "Then again you'll hit back," "This is a never- ending story." "It's best to forget it." "It's not easy." "You've failed in the Test," "Now the mid- term Exams are coming." "You can't waste you time on this." "You'll fail and lose a year." "After the exams," "Take your revenge!" "No, forget about it." "At least, till the exams." "Why don't you try spending more time in the library?" "You'll avoid these guys." "Good idea." "These illiterates won't even know if there is a library at all!" "Excuse me..." "Are you alright?" "Yeah, yeah, I'm perfectly alright." "I thought you were crying." "Are you in Engineering?" "I've taken science," "Engineering must be even tougher." "How do you guys manage?" "The difficult part is not the studies." "Why?" "Do you live in the Boy's Hostel?" "Yeah." "I've heard stories about the Boy's Hostel,..." "Are they true?" "No, not really..." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "Are your seniors harassing you?" "Of course not!" "What're you doing here this late?" "I was collecting some notes." "You came here to study?" "That was the intention, before you turned up." "Just joking." "By the way, I'm Payal." "Karan." "Enough bitching about professors!" "I better get going, it's late..." "Payal, it was really nice talking to you." "Same here." "What're you doing tomorrow?" "I've got classes and then tuitions." "And day after?" "Nothing really." "You want to meet up then?" "Ok." "Ok, see you then." "See you." "Hey, by the way,..." "You've got really nice eyes." "Thanks." "So, what's your family like?" "I don't have one." "My parents passed away, years ago." "I didn't like living with my uncle." "He's a good man." "But he has his own family." "I don't like being a burden on him." "I have no place to go to except for this Hostel." "Do you have any brothers or sisters?" "No." "You?" "I'm the only child." "I wish I had an elder brother," "Someone who could protect me," "But it's ok now," "You're like my brother." "No way!" "Where've you been?" "I've been around." "Why're you so happy today?" "You want him to be unhappy?" "There's something, for sure..." "Tell us, what is it?" "Nothing guys..." "This is the first time we've seen you smiling." "Found someone?" "He's found a girl!" "No." "We're just friends." "So, there is a girl!" "What's her name?" "Payal." "Did you do anything?" "Grow up guys." "Don't feel shy, tell us..." "We want a treat." "You guys don't understand We're just friends." "We still want a treat." "Let's go to the Cafe,..." "Ok." "But this time, I'll pay." " No way." "I'll pay this time, you always pay." "I can at least do that much for you." "All juniors to the Auditorium..." "Come on..." "But Karan, lf you can't defend yourself," "How can I feel safe with you?" "Payal, I just..." "Why didn't you come to the Auditorium?" "All juniors had come." "We stripped all of them naked." "They did a nude parade." "Are you special?" "Should we strip you here?" "Like the other day?" "I've a new routine for you." "See that girl?" "Go, smooch her." "Go or we'll strip you again." "Don't worry..." "She can't retaliate." "She has no clout." "Anyway, we'll protect you." "Go now, smooch her." "Why?" "Because she's not yours?" "She's yours, right?" "Smooch her." "You smooch her in private, right?" "Show us how you do it." "If you don't smooch her," "We will." "Stop them, stop them please!" "Wait you bastard!" "We'll strip you naked!" "We'll parade you around town!" "Feroz Sir..." "Feroz Sir..." "Who raped you?" "You're laughing?" "Actually I should cry." "Who hit you?" "That..." "Karan." "You got beaten by a junior?" "You know what you are?" "What's that word?" "Liability." "Correct." "Will you just joke about it?" "Won't you do anything?" "Stop whining." "Yeah, Ayoob..." "Don't spare the bastard!" "Out of the way!" "Where's he?" "On the terrace." "These guys are as human as we are..." "And we have the advantage of numbers!" "Why should we fear them?" "You don't understand, ...the kind of contacts they have!" "Who's Karan?" "Who's Ayoob?" "I know you've come to rough me up." "But remember..." "Even if you do beat me up, lt'll be a disgrace to you." "People will say..." "Ayoob is now Feroz's stoogie!" "What'd you say?" "What do you have against me?" "We don't even know each other!" "Feroz is using you!" "He's fooling you!" "He's using you as a Front!" "But if you still wish to fight, just for Feroz's sake," "Then go ahead!" "But remember..." "That time they were six too, And I was alone." "He's right actually." "Feroz said there's a tough goon who beat up his boys." "But he's just a simple boy." "Feroz is using us." "We aren't his servants." "Let's go back." "I said..." "let's go..." "But..." "Don't think we've chickened out." "I just liked what you said." "If you ever have any problem, let us know." "You must've said the same to Feroz." "Thanks for your offer," "But I won't need it." "Stubborn fellow..." "Feroz Sir..." " l know!" "Let's cut the bastard up!" "Why?" "For our gang's prestige." "Who says you're in our gang?" "But why?" "For our gang's prestige." "First, you got beaten in public..." "Then I gave you backing," "Yet you couldn't fix that kid." "Having you around is bad for my reputation." "Feroz Sir..." "You have 24 hours." "Pack your bags." "But..." "After that, if I ever see you again," "I'll finish what's left of you." "Feroz Sir...!" "What's that boy's name?" "Karan." "Which is his room?" "The last one..." "What melodrama!" "You should act in movies." "Why study Engineering?" "He'll get a role easily," "Because he's a pretty boy." "See," "Akshay worked for me." "But you beat him hands down." "Which means that you're more useful." "I'll pay you Rs. 3000 a month." "I'm here to study," "Not to be a hooligan." "You have balls." "But not enough to stand up to us." "It's not a knife this time." "I admit one thing," "That you're a man." "They are pansies." "That's why you deserve some respect." "I won't strip you now." "You aren't joining us," "No problem." "We don't really need you." "But..." "Don't ever meddle in our affairs." "Pretend that you're deaf  blind." "Otherwise you could actually turn deaf  blind." "Pick it up." "Take the remote too." "That's my TV!" "We know it's yours." "We'll return it in a few months." "This is my 'protection' fee." "Why do you tolerate this?" "Don't you have any self- respect?" "All this is a way of life... lt happens to everyone." "It's a pass- time." "They just joke around with us." "We actually enjoy it." "The suppliers are very happy." "Our Hostel is the best market," "So many customers for Dope under one roof." "If you need anything," "Just let me know." "Come on inside..." "Your Name?" "Pawan." "Your Name?" "We're your seniors." "Address us as 'Sir'" "Yes or No?" "Yes." "Say Yes 'Sir'" "It's your first day." "So we'll end it here." "Wait and watch now." "You haven't met Feroz yet." "Let's go..." "First year?" "Yeah." "Engineering?" "Yes." "And you?" "Second year." "I'm Karan." "Pawan." "Faced any trouble as yet?" "No... lf anyone troubles you, let me know." "You'll be able to help me?" "Good question..." "Excuse me..." "Yeah Payal... I was waiting for your call." "I'll see you in five minutes." "Nice meeting you, see you around." "Bye." "Can you bunk college for a day or two?" "I wouldn't want to." "But why?" "I want to go outstation somewhere." "For a picnic or something." "But only the two of us." "What'll you tell your dad?" "I'll tell him it's a college picnic." "You Hostelites are lucky." "No one restricts you." "Tell me Karan, can we go for a trip?" "Payal, I'm broke." "Don't worry." "Just tell me whether you'll come or not?" "Karan..." "Will you marry me?" "What's so funny?" "That you ask me the same question everyday." "I like to hear it from you." "Do you like to hear it?" "Or you don't trust me?" "Both." "After graduation, I'll do my post-graduation." "Then I'll get a good job." "Then I'll be able to afford a home." "Then,... I can't wait that long." "Payal, time flies..." "One year's already gone by." "Did you realize?" "Soon ten years will pass, then twenty..." "That time, we'll fondly remember these days." "Hey Fresher, how're you?" "Show me your cell phone." "I'll return it in a week." "I said I'll return it in a week." "But... lf you argue," "You won't get it back." "Don't whine then." "We've wasted enough time." "Let's go..." "Where're you taking me?" "Let me go, please..." "We're taking you to meet God!" "He'll give you a holy wafer too!" "Smoke this..." "No Sir, I don't want to..." "Try it." "He's delicate." "He's never smoked a cigarette." "Drugs before Cigarettes!" "It's like graduating before school." "In these four years, You'll become a man." "You'll get used to everything." "Take this." "The fever will come down." "If you need anything, Let me know." "Go to sleep now." "Come, let's fool around with that Fresher..." "Yeah, it'll be fun..." "Who do you guys think you are?" "What did you do to Pawan?" "Go on, hit me!" "I thought you were my best friend." "But hit me!" "for the sake of that Fresher." "Aye Karan..." "Who are you picking on?" "Have you forgotten how much he's helped you?" "You won't get a friend like him." "Sorry Vishnu, really sorry pal But what's happened to you guys?" "What do you mean!" "?" "We suffered it for a whole year!" "Now it's our turn!" "We've earned the right to do this!" "Karan, you're an old friend." "Why are you confronting us?" "For the sake of that Fresher?" "It's not about that boy!" "It's about doing what's right!" "If you guys are my friends, lt doesn't mean, that I'll support you blindly." "Why're you taking this so seriously?" "We're just having some fun." "Fun?" "You call that fun?" "Have you seen his condition!" "?" "We're making him a Man!" "See, he's delicate..." "He won't survive the world." "We are preparing him." "We're doing him a favour." "I don't know what to say." "Chill Karan." "You're making an issue out of nothing." "And..." "You guys've been licking Feroz's ass!" "Mind your tongue!" "We are his friends!" "Akshay was his friend too!" "Grow up Karan." "You look at things in black and white." "You've to learn to see the greys in between!" "He's right." "Feroz protects us!" "He won't understand." "But Feroz is the Crocodile of our pond." "I've only one friend here." "This is my Hostel." "Lot of kids stay here." "Students from all years." "Come..." "Why're you clinging?" "What else am I here for?" "Come..." "Feroz..." "What if someone sees you?" "I'll pluck out his eyes." "Call that pretty Fresher." "We'll have some fun." "Will you screw everyone?" "What else am I here for?" "Hey Fatso..." "Come, all of you." "Feroz Sir wants you to join him." "Please let me go Sir... I don't want to go Sir." "Have you done it before?" "No Feroz Sir, not yet." "She has undressed already." "And you're getting nervous." "You're getting the first lay." "And you're still not happy." "Come on, Strip..." "Feroz Sir hates disobedient students." "Obey or you'll be punished." "Feroz Sir, what about a condom?" "No." "I doubt if he's capable." "Who's it at this hour?" "Go and see..." "Say that I'm tutoring you guys." "Last minute tutoring, say that." "This is an education of a kind, isn't it?" " Of course." "So Mr. Nice Guy..." "What's your problem now?" "There's a limit to everything." "Let him go." "is he your brother!" "?" "I'd warned you!" "Never to meddle in my affairs!" "You're staring at me?" "Feel like hitting me?" "Hit me!" "Come on, hit me!" "See - no knife, no gun!" "Come on, hit me!" "Back to the room!" "You can bully us," "But Feroz beat you black  blue." "Don't taunt him." "What does that boy mean to you?" "You mind your own business." "Why meddle in other's affairs?" "I don't want anyone else to suffer like I did." "He can't defend himself, ...and he talks of defending others." "Enough of your Mr. Nice Guy act." "That looks good only in Indian Movies." "Sorry for quoting one more cliche." "But when in Rome, do as Romans do." "But I don't want this." "I didn't ask you what you want." "I want Rs. 5000." "Urgently." "You can smoke this." "Or you can sell it." "This is like Gold." "Its value goes up everyday." "Feroz Sir says - take it." "So take it!" "He's not extorting money from you." "You're getting that stuff in return." "Quickly..." "I'm getting late." "You heard the man?" "Quickly now!" "But where did the money go?" "Papa, I..." "You blew Rs. 5000 in a week?" "Where did you spend it?" "Papa, books..." "Have you gotten addicted to something?" " Papa, no..." "Pawan, money doesn't grow on trees." "I work hard for it." "On the other hand, Your mother has put me through hell." "She's sleeping with her boss." "And her father is after my life," "They are demanding alimony from me." "Where'll I get the money from?" "You've scored very badly in your Test." "If you lose a year," "Where'll I get the money for your fees?" "You have the money to drink everyday." "But you crib about my fees." "Now you've begun to taunt me as well." "Your mother has trained you well." "What else can the bitch do?" "Here it is." "Connect it." "DVD player..." "How much did you pay?" " Not much." "Rs. 5000." "Karan, if I fail this Test..." "My father will skin me alive." "Pawan relax. lt's just a Test." "You won't fail." "I guarantee that." "Now tell me what you haven't understood." "Four Eyes..." "My drink?" "This way too?" "See, it's as simple as that." "Even if I solve these two problems, I'll surely get a passing grade." "That's what I was telling you." "Thanks Karan." "I'll leave now." "All the best." "Good night." "Good night." "I'll revise." "Sir Please, I've got a Test tomorrow." "We can break the door." "One..." "Two..." "Look at him." "What were you doing?" "Who'll you go to now?" "Karan?" "Or the Police?" "He won't tell anyone." "What'll he say?" "That they raped me?" "Leave him here, let's go." "'lf anyone troubles you, let me know'" "'You'll be able to help me?" "'" "Believe me Karan, lt wasn't your fault." "Stop blaming yourself for it." "I'm sure they won't get away." "The Trustees will take strict action." "All of them will be rusticated." "See Mr. Sharma," "We regret whatever happened." "But at the same time," "We can't afford to spoil the reputation of the university." "Ours is a prestigious institute." "And we have to maintain its reputation." "Media coverage of this incident, will affect admissions and donations." "I hope you understand Mr. Sharma." "Mr. Saxena, do you understand?" " Yes Sir." "Pawan Mehta was a mentally challenged student." "He had a mental disorder." "We'd often seen him behaving strangely." "Was this suicide caused by harassment from other students?" "That does not happen in our Hostel." "We are known for our discipline." "As the Dean of the university, What are your comments?" "I think," "Mr. Saxena is right." "We suffered a lot too." "But did we hang ourselves?" "He was a sissy." "You can't blame Feroz or us." "We haven't murdered him." "He did what he wanted to do." "Anyway," "is he inside?" "Yes." "What did you do yesterday?" " Nothing." "Hey jerk..." "Aggrieved over your friend, eh?" "Don't stare." "You can't do anything." "We know that you testified to the Police." "But what happened?" "The college management bribed the cops, ...to keep their mouths shut." "And the post mortem report, has been altered too." "Now where'll you go?" "To the High Court?" "To the Supreme Court?" "Go to the rooftop, And scream to the world," "Tell them what we did to your pal!" "Even in Heaven, they'll laugh at him." "See this is my last warning to you." "If you expose us to a Politician or to the Media," "Then, what happened to your friend, ...could happen  to your girlfriend too." "Payal, I know it'll be difficult for you." "But," "Forgive me, if you can." "Forgive you?" "But for what?" "We're meeting for the last time today." "After today, there'll be nothing between us." "Convince yourself that we never met." "Karan, what..." "What's wrong Karan?" "Karan what did I do?" "It's just that you love me." "Don't you love me?" "I do." "And I always will." "That's why I beg of you forget about me." "Karan, wait!" "'lf you ever have any problem, let us know...'" "What've you come to Feroz's room for?" "Feroz is not here." "Karan?" "Karan?" "What's this noise at this hour?" "What the hell is this?" "Hey!" "what the hell are you doing?" "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" "Don't shoot, don't shoot!" "Somebody open the door!" "Karan has gone mad!" "He'll kill all of us!" "Open the door!" "You'd come to kill me, eh?" "You'd come to kill me, eh?" "I'm going to jail anyway." "Kill me and you'll be jailed too." "Who says I'm going to kill you?" "I'll shoot your hands and legs, ...till you are crippled." "And I'll testify in court," "That I acted in self defence." "Open the door." "Karan has locked the Hostel from all four sides!" "Can you see anything?" "No." "No Karan!" "Don't do this." "Stop it please!" "You'll ruin your life son!" "You'll ruin your career son, don't do this!" "Throw the rod away..." "Good boy." "Step away son, step away..." "Come out now son,..." "Karan No!"
