00:00Do you not know the reality of casting doubts?
00:07It does exist.
00:08Okay.
00:09There is a doubt.
00:10Casting will be done.
00:30Hello.
00:37Yes mummy.
00:47I have been calling you since so long.
01:02You are not answering.
01:03Taimur is crying.
01:04Talk to him.
01:05No mummy.
01:06Not now please.
01:07Not now?
01:08What do you mean by not now?
01:09Mummy, let him cry.
01:10He will sleep if he gets tired crying.
01:11Make him a habit of living without me.
01:12What kind of a mother are you?
01:13What kind of a mother are you?
01:15What kind of a mother are you mummy?
01:17After putting my life at stake, you got me married to a person who does not think of anything other than himself.
01:25He did not even think about how I will raise his child alone after the divorce.
01:30Okay.
01:31Forget the past.
01:32And listen.
01:33Send some money.
01:34Your child insists on toys.
01:37How long will I keep telling his uncles when your sister-in-law is making faces?
01:44Have some patience mummy.
01:45I will send the money when I get the work.
01:48You have taken out a month by saying some more days.
02:00Mummy.
02:01He does not love me.
02:03He does not love anyone other than himself.
02:06You know what?
02:08He has multiple affairs mummy.
02:10When I asked him, he slapped me.
02:13Enough is enough.
02:15You take divorce.
02:16I will tell you what to do next.
02:19There are many chances for newcomers in the media these days.
02:23You come home.
02:30Hello.
02:31Hello Miss Anita.
02:33You are not lucky.
02:35Whenever I come, the flat is locked.
02:38I am busy with the shoots.
02:41Okay.
02:42Have a cup of tea with us sometime.
02:45Sure.
02:46I am busy now.
02:48Take out some time madam.
02:51Just a little time for us.
02:53Actually, the rent has been paid for two months.
02:56Tell me when should I come to take the rent.
02:59Please don't come.
03:01I will call you myself.

03:09Just agree once.
03:11Rent, maintenance, my responsibility.
03:13Someone has come at the door.

05:55Some things get broken.
06:00Casting couch?

06:18She is an amazing model.
06:20I have seen everything about her.
06:22Her work?
06:23I am not talking about her work.
06:25I am talking about her work.
06:26Actually, according to the client's brief, you are not suitable.
06:30I am sorry for today.
06:31And if you need any help, Razi will contact you.
06:35Thank you so much.

07:18She is Ramji sir.
07:19Famous ad film director.
07:23He will fulfill all your wishes.

07:28Here is my card.
07:45Won't you ask me to sit?
07:52Sit.
08:04Anita, you...
08:08You will become a model, right?
08:11Yes.
08:14Anita,
08:16our ad firm
08:19is very realistic.
08:21Here,
08:22from shoe polish
08:23to aeroplanes,
08:24ads are made.
08:26Here,
08:27dreams are made real.
08:31They are not sold for their profit.
08:37Come to the point, Ramji.
08:39I have come here to make an ad film
08:41of which you had put a status.
08:43Really?
08:44You had blocked me.
08:47Someone else told me.
08:48You know what, Anita?
08:50In this film,
08:51a mother's character is needed.
08:54A mother's character.
08:57This character
08:58has to be done with honesty.
09:01And I am scared.
09:03You know nothing but lies.
09:07I am a mother.
09:09I am a mother of a 5 year old son.
09:12This is not a lie.
09:13Why not?
09:195 years have passed
09:21and you still haven't forgotten.
09:23No.
09:25Not at all.
09:29I have forgotten everything.
09:32Even you.
09:35Good for you.
09:37You lie well.
09:39You married a businessman, right?
09:43To fulfill your dreams,
09:45he lost his money.
09:49You left me for this reason, right?
09:54I am divorced.
09:59Last year.
10:02I never thought
10:03life would be so merciless.
10:07Papa died two months ago.
10:14Money has a lot of power.
10:16I realized this now.
10:19After papa's death,
10:22my family's attitude changed.
10:25Till the time they were alive,
10:27they used to support me.
10:29And now,
10:30I had to leave the house because of this.
10:33I live on rent.
10:35I live on rent.
10:37I have bills.
10:38I have Taimur's expenses.
10:40From where will I do all this?
10:44I have come here with a lot of hope, Ramzi.
10:47I know,
10:48only you can get me out of this problem.
10:51Ramzi, listen to me.
10:54Like you used to understand me 5 years ago.
10:57You used to understand everything without me.
11:00Please Ramzi,
11:01I want this ad film.
11:02Please give me this ad film.
11:04Please.
11:08Ramzi.
11:17Here is your script.
11:19True and pure like a mother's love.
11:21Neutral feed, dry milk.
11:23First hard food of a baby.
11:25Less in price, full of fun.
11:26Say it.
11:33Action.
11:36Mother…
11:38Anita, say it.
11:44Mother's…
11:46We don't have whole day.
11:49Mother's…
11:53Say it Anita, say it.
11:56Cut.
12:02Cut.
12:07Anita,
12:09acting is a serious job.
12:13It's not someone's heart that can be stolen.
12:18You have to learn it.
12:20You have to remember the lines
12:24and make them come true.
12:26But by remembering two lines,
12:28you can't guess someone's talent.
12:30Oh God.
12:43Okay.
12:45I understood
12:47what you want.
12:49The same thing
12:50that you wanted earlier.
12:52Today you are yearning for the same thing.
12:56Okay.
12:58There is a couch
12:59and casting will also be done.
13:30By presenting yourself in front of me,
13:34you won't get anything, Anita.
13:36You will have to repeat this action.
13:38Every time,
13:39for every new work.
13:40It's better to do the work
13:42that you know.
13:44For you.
13:45Not the one
13:47for which you have to sell yourself.
13:51If you have to sell something,
13:54sell your talent.
13:55Not to us,
13:56but to the public.
13:58Because the public knows
14:00who is talented
14:02and who is not.
14:03Ramzi.
14:04Ramzi, please.
14:06I am very much in need of work.
14:08I am ready to do everything
14:09that you say.
14:11Please give me this ad film.
14:13Please.
14:14Why do you want this, Anita?
14:17That along with your ex-husband,
14:20all the men in the world
14:21should also have an ad film.
14:23All the men in the world
14:25should accept that
14:27your divorce
14:29happened because of you.
14:30What do you mean?
14:33You could have chosen
14:34some other profession.
14:35Like
14:37you could have completed your studies
14:38and joined the banking sector.
14:41Does this country only need
14:42models?
14:43Not role models?
14:45But no.
14:47You chose the easy way out.
14:49I want work.
14:50And I want to prove to someone
14:51what he has lost.
14:53But you will have to pay
14:54the price for all this, Anita.
14:56I am scared.
14:58I am scared that
15:00you might lose yourself
15:02in fulfilling your stubbornness.
15:04Because the people
15:05you expect from
15:07know how to get their price.
15:11Don't you know
15:14the reality of casting couch?
15:17It does exist.
15:19But here you have to pay
15:20the price for your dreams, Anita.
15:23I will sleep
15:25on someone else's bed.
15:29How dare you?
15:31How dare you?
15:33Do you think I am a whore or what?
15:35The industry is infamous
15:36because of people like you.
15:38You think I don't know how to work.
15:40I can't get a job.
15:42I will show you how to work.
15:44And people like you
15:45will run after me
15:46for casting.
15:48Now better watch out.
16:24I love you.
16:29I love you.
