Written by: Ajaib Singh

Raghu is sitting in the train going from Jaipur to Delhi. He looks at Raju sitting in front of him.
Just then TT enters the compartment.
Raghu worriedly looks at Raju and asks whether he was having ticket. Raju says no. Even Raghu wasn’t having ticket.
TT comes to them and asks for ticket.
Raghu gives TT hundred rupees note and winks. TT then asks Raju for ticket. Raju says he doesn’t have ticket. TT asks for money. But Raju says he won’t give him money. TT asks him to get off the train.
Raju laughs. He then shows TT his cell phone. He shows him the recording of TT taking bribe from Raghu. I will show this to police and you will be fired, says Raju.
TT becomes very fearful. He pleads before him. Raju says if he will give him 400 rupees he will delete the recording.TT gives him 400 rupees and leaves.
Raju and Raghu smiles at each other. Raju gives Raghu 200 rupees .
No need bro- says Raghu.
Why not bro! After all we both made this plan so fifty-fifty.
Raghu - We both have same frequency of brain. What say?
Raju - Yes.
Raghu -So friends?
Raghu extends his hand. Raju shakes it.
Raju -Yes. Friends.

Raju and Raghu start chatting for time pass. Raju tells about his reason of leaving home.
I just graduated in commerce with passing marks. Tried for jobs and gave so many interviews but got no jobs. Parents were always scolding him. One day father scolded very much and he left the home.
Raghu says that his reason of leaving home is exactly the same.
Raghu then tells about his dreams – he says he wants to live life like his rich friends. Who bears branded clothes, goes to discs, drives cars and throws parties. But he has no money. So he wants to earn quick bucks soon and live like rich. Otherwise life will be wasted.
Surprisingly Raju’s ideology about life was also the same.
XX
On reaching Delhi, Raghu and Raju takes an apartment on rent and starts living. One day land owner comes to collect rent. Raghu tells him that they can give rent only next week since they had not got salary yet. Landowner gets angry hearing this. He gives them a brief lecture and left with a warning to get the rent ready by next week.
Raghu and Raju thinks of a plan to get money for paying the rent. Raju becomes a blind person. He bears black spectacles and walks with a white stick meant for blind people. They go to a house in the building. When an aunty opens the door Raghu says – Hello madam. We are from VISION, an NGO for the welfare of blind people. He is Mr Murli – the secretary. He is blind himself.
Raju gives his own speech – We are blind but we are not beggars madam. What we need is just a little motivation, little understanding and little help from the society.
The lady is touched and she gives them Rs 500 as donation. Raghu gives her the receipt. They then go to other houses in the building. By evening they collected Rs 10,000. They came to their room and chatted.
Raju - This will pay the rent for this month only. We have to think something big buddy.
Raghu - Ya. We have to make big sums. Don’t worry we will work out something soon.
Raju – Ok. Let’s go to disco and enjoy the life.
Raghu – You got money.
Raju – Come yar. Sab ho jayega.
And both of them goes out.
XX
Raghu and Raju reaches a disco. They are in strange dress. Raghu has red lips and chewing pan. He is bearing a thick golden chain. His hairs are oily. Raju is in colourful clothes and bearing a black googles.There they see a pot - bellied middle aged businessman. The businessman was staring hungrily at a young lady dressed in very less clothes. She was standing near the bar and sipping drink.
Raghu comes to the man and starts chatting.
Raghu - Mangta kya………
Businessman - What?
Raghu -She is service provider.
Businessman - Didn’t get you.
Raghu -Dhandhe wali yar. And I am her pimp.
Businessman - What?
Raghu -Yes.
Businessman - She doesn’t look like some dhande wali.
Raghu – She serves elite class only. So you want?
Businessman - How much she charges?
Raghu -25K for full nite, 15K for two hours.
Businessman - Baap re. It’s too much.
Just then Raju came to Raghu and started chatting.
Raju – Hey Rustum Bhai! How’s everything. And who is that a new mall. What are her rates?
Raghu -30K for full nite.
Raju - Please give some discount. After all I am your old client. Should I give 20K.
Raghu -No. Look at her beauty. Plus she is virgin.
Raju – Oh, really. Well I don’t have cash right now. But will surely arrange next week. Please bhai till then keep her virgin.
Raju leaves. Raghu and businessman start chatting again.
Raghu -So you still don’t believe me. There is long line for her boss. And since you are new client I am giving you discount rates. Such item can go for 40K even.
The businessman stares more hungrily at the girl.
Businessman – OK, I want her.
The businessman counts 25K and gives it to Raghu. Raghu writes some fake address on a slip and gives it to businessman.
Raghu -Take it to her. And tell that Rustam Bhai has sent you. Go and enjoy . Full nite.
Raghu leaves. Businessman goes to young lady and shows her slip.
Businessman - Rustam bhai has sent me.
Young lady - What?
Businessman – I paid 35K .
Young lady – Are you crazy or what? What are you saying?
Businessman –I want your virginity.
The girl gives a tight slap to businessman. Just then her boyfriend who is a big bodybuilder comes.
Boyfriend -What happened Sania?
Young lady - Look Sandy he is eve-teasing me.
The body builder starts beating the businessman.
At the same time Raghu and Raju were dancing madly - in some other disc of Delhi of-course without get-up.

One day Raghu and Raju were coming back home after marketing .
Raghu- Yar, we need to trap big fishes.
Raju – Ya. We are earning in thousands only. Our dreams were of lakhs at least.
Raghu- Right. So far we don’t even have our own house.
Just then a car stops near them. A man asks for some address. They tell him to go straight and then turn left. The man offers them lift since they were going in same direction. They accepted. The man tells them that he lives in USA and he has come to take his old father with him who lives alone.
And when will you come back?- asks Raghu.
In two months- says the man.
After one week Raju and Raghu see the old man leaving with his son.
Raghu - Now what will happen to the house?
Raju - It has to be sold.
XX
Raghu brings a key- maker with him.
Raghu - I lost my key in the party. Please make a duplicate.
Key maker - No problem sir. I am in this business for 30 years. I make the best keys.
Soon the key-maker makes a duplicate key and gives to Raghu. Both Raghu and Raju opens the door and go inside the house.
Raju puts a sign-board outside – FOR SALE.
After this they get some advertisement posters printed and paste here and there. On the poster was written - Big bungalow for sale. At very very low prices. Please contact at this number soon - 7878787878
Soon they get a call from a Gujrati family. Raju fixes a meeting. A Gujrati man with his wife and a fat boy comes to see the house. Raju receives them.
Raju - Very good bungalow. Very less cost. You will be amazed. Come inside.
Gujrati man -Why the owner is selling it?
Raju - Well he is old man and about to die. He wants to sell the house and go on char-dham yatra.
Gujrati man - Oh. Ok Ok.
Raju -Come inside.
All of them go inside. Raghu was in old man’s get up and lying in bed. He was sick and coughing. There were catheters and glucose bottles near his bed.
Raju - Mr Biswas.
Raghu - Yes dealer.
Raju -They have come to see your house.
Raghu - They come , they see and they go. No one comes back.
Raju - No Mr. biswas. They won’t go this time. They are in real need.
Raghu coughs violently. Raju gives him water.
Raju - He is Mr Murgiwala and his wife and cute son. I will show them the house. Come.
Raju then shows the family the house.
Raju -You like it?
Gujrati man - Ya. So how much is the price?
Raju -25 lakh.
Gujrati man - Done.
Gujrati man’s wife – Hey, are you mad? That’s too much.
Gujrati man takes wife to a corner.
Gujrati man - Stupid woman. The bungalow is of 1 crore at least.
He comes back and talks to Raju.
Gujrati man - When can we get the house?
Raghu - Give me the money and I will leave the house - right now
Gujrati man - Done.
Raju - Have you brought the cash also?
Gujrati man - Yes .
Gujrati man makes a call. Two servants bring two gunny bags and keep in front of them.
Gujrati man - Count.
Raghu jumps out from the bed. Both Raghu and Raju start counting the notes.
After few hours the counting gets over.
Raju – Exactly 25 lakh.
Raghu - You are very honest Mr Murgiwala. May your murgis never stop giving eggs.
Raghu gives the Gujrati man keys of the house. Both Raghu and Raju takes the gunny bags to the car and drives off. They were exploding with excitement and happiness.
Both of them then go on shopping spree. They take expensive dinners at big restaurants, purchase branded clothes and go to disco partys. They were enjoying the life to its full.
XX
One day both Raghu and Raju were at home. They started chatting.
Raghu – Yar, we are running out of the cash. After purchasing this flat no money is left.
Raju – And we don’t have any luxury car yet.
Raghu – Let’s think.
Raju then looks at the paper. He reads the headline – CAT result comes tomorrow!
Raju – I got an idea.
Raghu – What?
Raju – Tomorrow is CAT result and many students will not get through.
Raghu – So?
Raju – Let’s give admission to such students in our own college.
Ragu – Which college?
Raju – Well……..R and R college of management.
Raghu – Raghav and Rajan college of management?
Raju – No. Ram and Ramiyaa college of management.
Raju winks at Raghu who smiles.
Raghu – What an idea sir ji.
They give Hi-five to each other.
XX
Next day a boy was looking at the result of CAT. His CAT score was less. His father was scolding him.
Raju goes to them. He was in get- up of a tamil doctor –moustaches and proper tilak.
Raju - Don’t worry uncle. R and R college of management is there. My brother has also studied there. He is now intern in USA with Berkley’s bank. Huge package. 50 lakhs per annum. Hundred percent placement. Guaranteed.
Father - Where is it?
Raju gives them a poster which was having admission ads and address.
XX
Next Raju approaches four college students. He was without get-up now. He talks to them.
Raju - Wana make some money?
Student 1 –How?
Raju – Acting.
Student 2 - Which movie?
Raju -Not movie. Come I will tell.
Raju tells them that they have to act as students of R and R college. They have to discuss about the college very highly in front of student coming for admission. The students agree.
Next day the same student who Raju met comes for admission with his father. They are asked to sit in lobby and wait. The other four students were also sitting there.
As the boy and his father sit, the four students start speaking their dialogues which Raju had told.
Student 1 - So where are you placed buddy?
Student 2 – HCL. They have offered me a package of 25 lakh. What about you Sidhartth?
Student 3 - Well I am joining Infosys – 25 lakh.
Student 4 – Really yar. R and R is amazing. What a superb infrastructure. And amazing faculty. Really I will always miss R and R. Even IIM students don’t get such placements.
The father and son get very well convinced. They meet Raghu and Raju who were in get ups of middle aged Director and Dean of the college. They give admission to the student and robbed 2 lakhs out of them.
XX
In a new twist Mr. Murgiwala approaches sub-inspector Brinda. She is young and beautiful.
Mr. Murgiwala tells how he was conned by two persons. They sold him a house. But after two months real owners of house came. They called police and threw them out.
After that Father and son who took admission in R and R come to Brinda. They also tell her how they were conned by two men. Brinda promise them that she will soon try to solve the case and arrest the culprits.
XX
One day middle aged constable Chamnlal brings a newspaper to Brinda and shows her a matrimonial advertisement . The ad says - Groom needed for a rich but mentally unstable girl. Groom will get 5 crores of her inheritance upon marriage.
Brinda becomes suspicious. She sends Chamnlal as one of the candidate to girl’s father at given address.
XX
At girl’s place there was a long queue outside the room. Inside Raghu and Raju were there. Raghu was in girl’s clothes and gaudy make-up. He was acting as mentally unstable also. Raju was in get - up of her old father.
A man comes inside and Raju starts interviewing him.
Raju – Please sit down. I am Khaprail Mal. And she is my beautiful daughter - Raghubanti.
Raghu smiles and looks at a picture constantly like mad.
Raju – So what do you do?
Man –I own a small company of Gutka.
Raju - Good. Which brand?
Man - Bhainsa chhaap.
Raju – Alright. You can apply.
Man – Apply?
Raju – Take this form and fill. You have to deposit Rs 10,000 also.
Man - 10 K? But you took my interview.
Raju – That was for screening. You have been selected. Now you will come for final round. Don’t you want 5 crores!
Man – Oh, O.K.
The man fills the form and gives Raju 10 K.
Just then constable Chamnlal in civil dress comes inside. He becomes suspicious during interview. He goes and tells Brinda. When she comes to arrest Raghu and Raju, they had already fled away.
XX
After some time Raghu and Raju plans to sell a special health Insurance golden card.
Raghu in the get up of salesman goes to a man and tells about the card.
Raghu – Just pay 50K and take the card. After that go to any doctor and get any treatment, you will not be charged any money.
Man – Any doctor?
Raghu – Any.
Man – No panel?
Raghu – No. That’s the speciality of this card.
Man – But how can I believe you?
Raghu – O.K. I will give you this dummy card. Go to any doctor. Show this card and doctor will not charge you any fee. Go and test. I will wait here. But do it fast. This is the last card.
Raghu gives dummy card to the man. The man looks here and there. He sees a clinic across the road – Malhotra Clinic.
The man goes inside. Raju was sitting in get-up of doctor. The man consults him for his blood pressure. After some time the man asks Raju for fees.
Raju – Rs. 1000
Man – 1000. Just for talking.
Raju – Yes.
Man – OK. Well I have this card.
The man shows Raju the dummy card.
Raju – Oh. Golden card. Why din’t you show me earlier. Let me note the number.
Raju notes the number from the card and gives back the card.
Raju – You can go.
Man – I need not to pay na?
Raju – No sir. You are one wisest person to have purchased this card.
Man – Does it work everywhere?
Raju – Yes. All over india. From small clinic like this to hospitals as big as Apollo.
The man runs back to Raghu. He gives him 50k and buys the Golden card.
XX
One day a girl came to Raghu. She was Nisha.
Nisha – I saw your advertisement of golden card.
Raghu – Oh OK. Please sit down.
Nisha – So what is the maximum coverage with this card?
Raghu –For 50 K you can take upto 15 lakhs.
Nisha – Are pre- existing diseases also covered?
Raghu – Ya that’s the special feature of this card. No insurance cover the pre-existing diseases.
Nisha – Ya. I know. I want the card.
Nisha gives money to Raghu. Raghu looks infatuated with her. She is so beautiful , simple and decent – he thinks.
Raghu – Where are you basically from?
Nisha – My family is of Rajasthan. But I was brought up in Delhi only.
Raghu becomes more interested on the mention of Rajasthan.
Raghu – You have to give your address …and phone no…. and give me photo also.
Nisha – Why photo?
Raghu – To paste in form.
Nisha –But there is no column.
Raghu –Ya. That by mistake left out. But we do need it.
Nisha gives Raghu photo and then leaves.
XX
After Nisha leaves, Raghu constantly looks at her photo. Obviously he has fallen in love with her at first sight.
Raju - Hey what happened?
Raghu - Nothing.
Raju - Oh man. Don’t tell me you are getting the disease of love. Stay away dude. It’s harmful.
Raghu - Ya. I know.
Raghu keeps on looking at photo of Nisha.
XX
After two days Raghu calls Nisha.
Raghu - There are some documents. Your signs are needed.
Raghu takes her to a café. They have coffee there and talked. Meanwhile upon asking by Raghu what kind of boys she likes, Nisha says – Honest boys.
Raghu asks her if they can become good friends. She accepts the offer. One day Raghu goes to drop Nisha at her house. He sees that her father was suffering from heart disease and needed to be operated. Raghu felt guilt-ridden now.
XX
Raghu was remorseful. He had cheated the girl who he was in love with. He discusses the matter with Raju and proposes that he is going to tell her the truth. Raju becomes angry at this. There was hot argument between the two. Raju leaves the house and breaks – up the friendship. Raghu and Raju were not friends any more.
Raghu goes to Nisha to tell the truth. He hoped that she will forgive him and accept him. However Nisha was shocked and heart- broken after listening everything.
Nisha tells him that she has also developed feelings for him. But he broke her trust. She asks him never to meet again and shuts the door on his face.
Raghu was devastated. He had lost his friend as well as girlfriend. He was all alone now. He goes to a bar and drinks. Raju happens to see his friend in this condition. He goes to him and gets to know the whole episode. He says he will always be his friend and they patch – up once again.
XX
Next day Raju and Raghu were returning home in the night. In the way they see three boys were trying to rape a lady who was Brinda herself in plain clothes. They beat them and the boys ran away. Raghu and Raju then take the fainted Brinda to hospital. They stay beside her.
In the night Raju tells Raghu that he likes the girl. Raghu says it was right time for him to fall in love.
XX
Next day Brinda talks to them.
Brinda - You are brave. Police force needs such people. Even coward cops don’t do anything sometimes to stop such incidents. There is an opening soon.
Raju - How do you know so much about police stuff?
Just then Chamnlal and Gosain comes and salutes Brinda.
Chamnlal - How are you saheb? We have arrested all three culprits.
Raghu and Raju looks stunned. After some time both cops leave.
Brinda - So I was saying. Join the police. I want you to help me in arresting two master-mind cons. If I can do so I will be promoted from SI to Inspector.
XX
Raju was in strange dilemma. He was in love with Brinda. But she was a police officer and he was a conman.
He keeps meeting Brinda anyhow on the pretext of training. Brinda has started giving him training. She wanted him to prepare for the forthcoming exam.
While their meetings Brinda also develops feelings for Raju.
XX
One day all of a sudden Nisha’s father was taken to hospital in emergency. Doctor tells that she has to deposit 5 lakhs at counter or they won’t operate.
That’s already done. Raghu appeared. He shows bill to doctor.
Ok. We will start preparation then - Doctor says and leaves.
Nisha - I can’t take that money.
Raghu - Yes you can.
Nisha -I don’t want any favour from you.
Raghu –Take it as a loan then. You can return me later.
Nisha -That’s dirty money.
Raghu -I am going to confess my sins to police. I am going to jail anyways.
Raghu leaves. Nisha keeps thinking and watches Raghu go.
XX
Raju goes to Brinda.
She flirts with him.
Brinda – In very few days we came so close. I love you.
Brinda hugs Raju. But he becomes sad. He tells her that he wishes to confess something.
Raju then tells her the whole story of his life and frauds he did with Raghu. He asks her to arrest him but spare his friend Raghu because he was in love with a girl.
Just then Raghu also comes there and says to Brinda - You have to arrest me also. Only then I can win my love back!
XX
Both Raghu and Raju were sent to one year of jail.
Meanwhile Nisha’s father became well again. She occasionally visited Raghu in jail. She had forgiven him.
After one year both Raghu and Raju came out of jail. They applied in Delhi police and got selected as SI. Raghu then married Nisha and Raju his beloved Brinda.
And they lived happily thereafter.
The end.
