Since when have you been doing this?
I don't remember.
Do you do this willingly? - What do you mean?
I mean, do you feel bad when you do it
or you don't? - I get paid for it.
I get to have my meals. Plus, I have a place to live.
Where are you from? - From a faraway place.
It's very far from here.
I can't tell you. - So, how did you end up here?
I mean, did you come here willingly or were you
forced into doing this?
Are you.. Are you filming this?
Don't worry. Your face won't be visible.
But why are you filming this?
You didn't answer my question.
Were you brought here against your will?
It's been years..
I don't remember anything. - Okay..
So, how many such places are there nearby?
I'm sure there are many. Why don't you check them out?
Didn't you ever feel like running away?
Do you want to leave this place for good?
Let's go! Let's go.
Let me go! - Let's go! - Leave me!
Move it! - Let's go!
Why are you scared when you're home?
Come on. - I don't want to stay here! Let me go! - Come on!
Karishma. - Yes? - They caught Nisha.
How?
Leave me. Please let me go!
You're home now. Don't be scared. - Let me go.. - Come on.
The matter could've become quite serious, ma'am.
She had reached Kanpur.
I dragged the witch out of the train.
We found a ticket to Patna in her purse, ma'am.
So.. Who exactly lives in Patna?
N-No one, Ms. Leela.
I've explained you this real nicely many times.
Have I or have I not?
There's only one way to this place.
Once a girl comes here, she never leaves.
I made a mistake, Ms. Sultana.
I won't ever repeat it.
Please forgive me this time. - Fine, I forgive you.
And you've earned a punishment too.
No, ma'am! - Silly girl, it's for your own good.
Then you'll never crave freedom.
Wasim, Pankaj, take her away.
Punish her after giving her a nice, hot bath.
Let's go.. - Ms. Sultana.. Ms. Leela..
I made a mistake! - Let's go! - Ms. Sultana, forgive me!
Ms. Sultana, I won't ever repeat it!
Let me go! Let me go!
Let me.. L-Let me go!
Ms. Sultana! Let me go!
They hammered a nail into her foot.
She was screaming her lungs out.
Listening to her screams sent a chill down my spine.
I thought that since it had been two days since Nisha ran away
she'd never get caught.
I thought we'd get a chance too.
No way.
The very thought of running away leaves me petrified.
And such a thought should never cross your mind.
Why should we dream of freedom
when it will give us nothing but pain?
You should learn to live with it.
Regardless of what it is
it is our life.
So, why fight it?
'I am Chanda.'
'Lady Luck turned her back on me years ago.'
Would you like to have something?
Tea, coffee, soft drink?
'I never challenged it.'
'I deemed it my fate.'
'But I guess fate had other plans for me'
'about which I didn't know at the moment.'
'And I didn't even know the person who'd change my fate.'
So, Gurmeet, how are you? - I'm doing great, pal!
Where are you going this time? - Chandigarh.
I'll be there by tomorrow morning.
Chotu, get me some smashing tea and biscuits.
So, tell me.. Will I find someone new here?
No way, pal.
Meena doesn't have anyone new. Just those five or six girls.
Keep it there.
That's okay, Gurmeet.
It's only a matter of one night. I'll manage.
'I'm Sanjay.'
'I'm a driver, a trucker.'
'I transport goods from one city to another.'
'I have no permanent abode.'
'8th April, 2016.'
'It was evening when I reached Agra.'
'I was happy that it would be an eventful night in Agra.'
It's always something or the other..
Hang up now. Duty calls.
So, pal, do you have a new darling here?
You'll find more than one darling here, pal.
These girls are free right now.
Have a look. Take your pick.
That one.
Would you like to have something?
Tea, coffee, soft drink? - No.
What's your name? - Chanda.
Chanda..
Do come again.
I had great fun with you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Would you like to have something?
Tea, coffee, soft drink?
Chanda, Ms. Sultana. Her name is Chanda.
Well, Mr. Driver..
I have other items on my menu too, you know.
How about you taste another dish?
No, I want Chanda.
'Would you like to have something?'
'Tea, coffee, soft drink?'
Would you like something?
This time, I have to make a delivery to Ghaziabad.
I could've been there today itself
but I stayed back in Agra especially for you.
Thank you.
Would you like to have something?
No, let it be.
Come on, sit.
Do you know? I hardly approach the same girl twice.
I tend to get bored in the very first go.
But you're different.
This is the fifth time I'm approaching you.
Thank you.
Is Chanda your real name? - Yes.
So, you talk with a smile
on your face to all your customers? - Yes.
You could've lied just once, you know.
You could've said that you smile only in my presence.
I would've been on cloud nine for a minute, you know.
Okay. I smile only in your presence.
Let it be. Don't lie.
It doesn't suit you. Besides, your lie gets caught.
Do you know? I come here only for you.
Felt really good to hear that. - Because you are good.
You're better than the best.
You're perfect.
Now, you'll say 'thank you'. - Thank you.
Where are you from?
Hey.. Is it a big secret or something?
Won't you tell me?
Chanda just got busy with a customer.
Jaya and Munni are free. If you like, I can call them.
You can spend the night with Jaya.
She's fabulous. - Ms. Sultana, you know very well
that I want Chanda, only her.
This matter seems a little serious.
She's been booked for an hour. Please try to understand.
Take my advice and pick Jaya for the night.
You'll forget all about Chanda's charm.
No. - Nandu, show him Nisha.
Nisha is like rain falling on a desert.
Go on, have a look. Go on.
Ms. Sultana, please don't show me other girls.
I want Chanda, just her.
Come on, darling. Come on.
You'll have to wait for an hour.
She's pleasing someone else right now.
Yes, I heard..
I'll wait.
Would you like to have something?
Tea, coffee, soft drink? - I don't want anything.
Don't take your clothes off.
I don't want to do it tonight? - Did I make a mistake?
I'm sorry. - Do you know?
I came here today as well especially for you.
Thank you. - Just stop thanking me.
Sorry. - Oh, keep your apologies to yourself.
What kind of person are you, Chanda?
Do you have no feelings, no emotions?
Do you know that I didn't have to make a delivery in Agra?
I came here especially to meet you.
I know.
Where are you from?
I've been coming to meet you for the last six months.
Forget about approaching another girl.
I don't even look at the others.
Chanda, I know that this is your job
and that girls hide their true identity in this line of work
but please tell me where you are from.
I'm from a faraway place.
What do you mean? How far away?
Chanda, tell me. It feels nice when you talk.
Okay, fine. First, I'll tell you about myself.
I'm from Banaras.
My family comprises my mother and father.
I'm a trucker. I have no permanent abode.
I keep travelling from one place to another.
But for the last six months
I've been accepting only those deliveries
in which I have to cross Agra.
Say something.
I'm from Phalsipur. It's in Gujarat.
Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Bhuj..
I've been to these places but never to Phalsipur.
Who lives there exactly? Your parents, siblings?
I had a mother..
Even she was engaged in this line of work.
So, did she force you into doing this?
No.. Mom used to send me to school.
'This is the family business of the people of our community.'
'Every girl, every woman is engaged in this line of work.'
'All the men of the community'
'force their respective wives into the flesh trade.'
'My dad used to bring customers for my mom.'
But mom wanted to keep me away from this line of work.
She sent me to school
so that I stay far away from the clutches of this trade
so that I do something else in life.
But..
'Chanda is going to pursue higher studies.'
'After she gives her board exams for the tenth grade'
'we'll send her away from Phalsipur.'
'Chanda, you have to pursue higher studies.'
'Understood? Only when you get a good education'
'will you become worldly wise.'
'Education is the ticket to move ahead in life.'
'It will open several doors for you.'
And I was a good student.
Then? - Mom passed away that year.
How? - She had become quite ill.
We didn't have money for doctors or hospitals.
So, she'd buy medicines she thought would help.
She used to continue doing her job.
She passed away one day.
Then? - Then
dad became very depressed.
He started drinking.
'We lost our source of income after mom's death.'
'We didn't even have enough money for our meals.'
'Dad. - Yes.. - Your meal.'
Dad. - Yes..
If you like, I can join this line of work.
Your mother didn't want you doing this.
She wanted you to study.
And even I want that.
I loved her the way she was.
But you can't live off of love, can you?
I wasn't able to understand how things would work out
from then onwards.
Dad married again.
My stepmother's name was Sandhya.
Dad wanted a source of income and Sandhya wanted a pimp.
She too is of our community.
This stepmother of yours, Sandhya.
Did she start troubling you?
No, she was a good person.
We used to get money because of her.
I passed 10th grade.
You've studied till class 10!
That too first division!
Did you study more? Did you go outside the village?
I didn't have money to go outside the village.
So I began studying 11th grade in Science in Phalsipur.
I passed 11th class with first division too.
Then dad died in 2011.
It became difficult for Sandhya to do the business.
So she left Phalsipur and settled in Chandolkheda
at her brother's place.
I didn't have anyone else, so she took me with her.
Uncle Umesh would fetch customers for Sandhya.
My education was discontinued.
I was asked to do the household chores.
I did that.
You passed 11th grade with first class..
In science too!
I liked studying.
That's the reason you can speak English words!
I can operate a computer to an extent.
We had an old computer model in the school.
Teacher used to allow me to practise operating it.
What happened then?
Then, in Chandolkheda, Sandhya told me
that my expenses cost her too much.
So she sent me to the place of another brother of hers
in Lucknow.
I loved Lucknow.
It was the first time, I had seen a city.
Uncle Umesh dropped me at Uncle Dileep's place
in Lucknow and went back.
I began doing this work in Lucknow.
Didn't your stepmother tell you why she was sending
you to Lucknow before sending you?
She didn't say anything.
But I don't know what I'd have done even if she had told me!
How did you come to know then?
Uncle Dileep had explained everything to me
on the first day.
I'll be bringing customers for you.
You have to start prostitution now.
My mother and father didn't want me to do
this work, Uncle Dileep.
I've passed 11th grade.
Your stepmother, Sandhya, sustained and educated you
for four years.
She has sold you to me in Rs. 7 Lakh.
I will recover my expenditure of Rs. 7 Lakh first
and I'll earn more money after that.
You have to do the work I've bought you for.
Your stepmother has asked me to have you work
in the profession of our community.
This is our profession, dear.
This is what we do.
Also, you're beautiful and you speak so nicely.
I'll get nice, worthy and well-mannered
customers for you.
I accepted the reality.
Uncle Dileep would bring nice customers
just as he said he would.
He took good care of me too.
He'd get nice clothes and make-up for me.
It's so that I'd look good.
So that he'd get good price for me.
I was in Lucknow for four years.
Did you do prostitution in house there?
Were there other girls other than you?
No, it was just me. Sometimes, the customers would come
to the house, or Uncle Dileep would take me with him
either to the customers' house or to a hotel room.
Then how did you end up in this brothel in Agra?
Sultana and Leela knew uncle Dileep.
They visited us in Lucknow once.
Uncle asked me to get ready for them.
Come here.
Let me see your face properly.
She has passed high school.
She speaks English as well.
And she is courteously.
Turn around.
Turn around again.
I've kept her in best condition.
Also, I send her to a good parlour.
And a doctor performs check-ups every month.
She is a complete package.
Customers are always in queue for her.
I am not boasting.
You'll be shocked if you hear their names.
Stop it, Dileep. Will you say everything?
Let the girl say something.
What if she turns out to be dumb?
What are you.. Talk to them, dear.
Greetings.. Hello! How are you? Thank you.
My name is Chanda.
Will you have something?
Refreshments?
See! She speaks so sweetly.
She's a gem! - Hey, Dileep! We've seen many gems.
You won't get Rs. 25 Lakh.
Go inside, dear.
Dileep, think carefully before speaking.
It would take at least 10 years to earn Rs. 25 Lakh
without any interest.
That's too much.
Reduce the amount.
Sultana, Chanda is only 21 years old now.
You're talking about 10 years? She will be able to work
for at least 15 years without stopping.
The glory of your brothel will increase
and the customers will come in profusely.
Let's settle at Rs. 15 Lakh.
Leela, do you plan to ruin me?
Dileep, not a single penny over Rs. 18 Lakh
that's my final offer.
I'm in Agra ever since.
Tell me one thing. Did you ever think of escaping?
I thought of it in Lucknow but then I thought where
I would go and what I would do after escaping.
I'd think of that and I never tried.
You've studied till 11th grade.
You speak English.
You know a little about operating a computer.
Look at me, I flunked at 8th grade.
I began working in a garage. I'm a driver now.
Shall we begin then?
No.
You're special for me, you know.
Do I mean anything to you?
Don't lie, I'll know.
Please, tell me the truth.
You know, I always carry a photograph of yours
in my wallet.
Hey, Chanda!
A couple minutes more, Nandu!
Come on, do it quickly.
I've already refused it. I'm in no hurry.
I'll be back. Your story is still incomplete.
No, I'm telling the truth. That's my complete story.
No. There's more. It's just not been written yet.
You're leaving without having fun!
Your money will be wasted.
Don't worry about money. Think about what I asked you.
I want an answer when I come back.
About what? - If I mean anything to you!
Would you like to have something? Tea or..
I will have ginger infused tea
but you'll be preparing it in our own house
every day in the morning and evening.
Our home, Chanda.. Our home.
Tell me. Will you marry me?
It's high time you agreed with me.
You.. You're special to me.
What? Come again? - You're special to me.
I've done all the homework before coming here today.
To get you out of here
Sultana and Leela won't take less than 18 lakhs.
They might even demand Rs. 25 lakhs.
But I don't have that kind of money.
I even tried to take some loan.
At least give Rs. 2 lakhs, pal.
Trust me, I'll repay it in time.
I need four lakhs.
I'll repay the loan with interest.
If not Rs. 5 lakhs, at least give Rs. 3 lakhs, boss.
I'm working for you since donkey's years.
At least have that trust in me.
Why are you asking questions? It's something important.
Consider that my life is at stake.
My parents, uncle.. All my relatives..
They don't have so much money to help us.
My friends belongs to my stature. Drivers..
I can't pin hope on anybody.
I'll not be able to collect Rs. 25 lakhs.
Will you marry me?
Please answer me.
I can't leave this place. - You can elope with me.
My vehicle has an all India permit tag.
I know the routes of India like the back of my hand.
There is no dearth in finding a good place.
A girl named Nisha is here.
A couple of months ago, she ran away.
They drove a nail through her feet.
She will be lame for the rest of her life
but she can never come out of this place.
Even you drove a nail..
Here. And even I drove a nail..
Here and there.. In our destiny.
I can't come with you. - I'm not saying that.
We're run away from this place and marry.
After all, I'm in love with you.
I'll chalk out a plan.
Within two months, we'll be a couple forever.
Do you've any objection
to make me your husband?
Are you ready to come with me?
What's the matter, driver?
You seem to drop in every week.
It all depends on my work, Ms. Sultana.
All the deliveries happens enroute Agra.
Today morning, I reached this city.
And early morning, you dropped in here.
Have you taken this place for granted?
I felt like coming here.
One keeps his footwear outside a room while coming in
and it is the feelings, which is kept outside a brothel.
Come with your money, have some fun and leave.
Come on, Ms. Sultana.
Money isn't a matter here. - Anybody can pay.
Does that mean you've bought Chanda?
She just woke up.
It'll take around twenty minutes for her to get ready.
I'll wait here.
You'll not send me off unhappy.
Of course not.
You're our first customer of the day.
Chanda's lover has started showing up in the morning also.
She has held on to her regular customer.
Sanjay, everybody is gossiping
as every day you show up early morning.
I'm scared.
No need to get scared.
Sit.
Deliberately, I come here in the morning
so that I know their daily activities.
The plan will be executed in the morning.
Actually, during the wee hours of morning
people are less active and inattentive.
Those three bouncers are sleeping like logs.
And your two ma'am's.. They're busy sipping tea.
Morning is the right time to elope.
But Sanjay, somebody will notice us.
Even we'll pick a right time.
When it's safe, we'll run away.
I'll drop here right after two weeks.. On 17th May.
That day, we'll elope.
Sanjay, I can't dress up myself early morning.
They will get suspicious. - No need dress up elegantly.
Just like always, be casual and take your own time.
Whatever dress you have on you, you need to come out in that.
Where will we go then?
Let me take care of all that.
How do you say that in English..
Surprise.
I will like it even if you drop in every week.
But I'll not like it.
From today, I'll not be able to spend time with you this way.
After 17th May, you will not entertain any customers.
Sanjay, these people are vicious.
They can go to any extreme.
They literally dragged Nisha from Kanpur.
It will be impossible to run away from this place.
Sanjay, I can't elope with you.
You passed your class 11 with distinction, right?
You must be knowing the story of Ramayana.
If need be, I'll burn down this place.
Greetings, ma'am.
Driver, are you in your senses?
It's just quarter to seven!
You used come here at 8:30 a.m.. Then 8 a.m..
And now you turn up in the wee hours of morning.
For whom you're here, she must be sleeping like a log.
Ma'am, so let me sleep beside her.
Better sleep in your house. Come at 9 a.m. - Not fair.
Will you make the first customer of the day upset?
Almighty!
Leela, look. - Ms. Leela.
Please wake up Chanda.
Better go yourself, knock at her door and wake her up.
By the way
from tomorrow, never come here before 9 a.m.
I got your point, Ms. Leela. I'll take your advice.
Ma'am, please wake up Chanda. - Go and try yourself.
A nice girl like her will curse you.
Ms. Leela, I'm going to wake Chanda up.
Do whatever you want, I'm feeling lethargic
and I'm going off to sleep.
Go to sleep.
Listen, look outside. Mini is out there only.
Once she goes inside the room, walk out from the patio.
Okay? And don't look back.
It's not the time to feel scared.
Come on. Hurry up. Take your clothes..
Come out under the pretext of drying clothes. Okay?
Pal, start the car.
Come on, go..
Chanda.
Chanda.
Answer. Get up.
Open the door.
Break it open.
She is not here.
Ma'am.
Both of you go.
Find out where that idiot took our Chanda.
Find and bring her back.
Ma'am, that crazy customer Sanjay might have fallen
for her. He might have taken Chanda for breakfast.
Like that? By locking the door from inside?
Did she tell anything? Mini, speak up.
Ma'am, I saw that driver going inside Chanda's room
in the morning.
And Chanda had opened the door.
After that, I didn't see anything.
Did she speak to anyone else?
No, ma'am. - Did she tell anything?
Take it.
The ladies bathroom is there. Go and comb your hair.
We need to take a photograph. - Photo?
Our name will be called in half an hour.
For what, Sanjay? - Marriage.
This is the court. People get married here.
Don't you want to marry me?
And take it. Your fake Aadhaar card.
Okay? Your name is also fake on it.
Jyoti Yadav. Remember it.
You need to say that inside. Okay?
And the address is also fake. It's of Delhi.
I have been planning since two months.
Go. Go and comb your hair.
Till then, I will find some witness.
Okay? Go.
Sir.
They are our witness.
Both of you sign here.
Ma'am, Wasim is trying to get information
from all the tempo truck drivers.
That where Sanjay hails from and who he works for.
Did he go to sell her at some other brothel?
That's why, he used to come early morning.
The matter looks serious, ma'am.
He might have proposed her. - How could Chanda fall for him?
He might have made her eat something.
Or else, you won't find an innocent girl like her.
You will.
You will find her. Nandu, search for her.
Get her here if you find her.
Ask others to start the work.
He took away our best girl.
Aren't you happy?
What happened? You aren't saying anything.
What would we do now?
My uncle stays at Shakurpura.
Don't feel scared. I share a good bond
with him.
He is more like a friend to me. We will stay at his house
for some days. Later, I'll introduce you to my parents.
Will they accept me? - Everything will be all right.
Moreover, you are Jyoti now.
So, let's go and do some shopping for Jyoti.
I don't have much money but I'll manage.
We'll buy a bag as well.
Sanjay.
How are you?
Fine. How are you, Sunil?
Are you giving us a surprise, Brother?
Greet her, Sunil. She is your sister-in-law.
Jyoti.
Greetings, Sister-in-law.
Is uncle at home or he has gone to office?
Yes, he is there. Come.
He has come to have food.
I got married a while ago, Uncle.
It's okay..
Stay blessed, dear.
Have you told your parents?
Not yet.
It's a long story.
Durga, take daughter-in-law inside.
Come, Jyoti.
So what if she is from a rich family in Lucknow?
Why didn't you tell your parents?
You know your sister and brother-in-law well, right?
They would have created a chaos.
Anyway, I have you with me.
The one to convince them.
Do you wish to get me killed!
The girl's parents must've lodged a complaint
with Lucknow Police until now.
Uncle, they haven't yet.
When Jyoti told her parents that she wants to marry me
they threw her out of the house.
Now you tell me.
Would it be right to leave a girl in all of this?
Sanjay, well..
We have to tell your parents, right?
You do one thing. Call them up
and tell them that I am in Delhi.
I'll do one thing. I will call them myself.
But please don't tell them that I've got married.
Sanjay, you..
You are putting me in trouble.
Uncle, everything will be fine.
You always say that, right?
Fine, tell me one thing.
Will I get a room to stay in your home or not?
I will slap you if you ask such rubbish questions!
I will vacant Sunil's room for you.
You two may stay there.
We have to stay here for a few days.
I will take up a driver's job at the earliest.
I will find a job in Delhi.
No more going out of Delhi.
Until when would we stay here?
Until we arrange for a new house.
One and a half month at the maximum.
These are our relatives.
You don't have to worry.
Jyoti is a quiet person, isn't she?
She has eloped
and must be scared.
Sanjay said that she was from an affluent family.
What we are doing for them?
Is that right?
I mean..
Sanjay has eloped with someone's daughter.
But they are legally married.
And he is my nephew.
It isn't right for him
to just roam around with a girl
and I can't even just leave him like that.
But Sister-in-law Ratna and her spouse
will get upset with us due to all this.
Sanjay told me
that he will call them and inform them about it.
He will inform them that he is living with us temporarily.
And listen.
If Sister Ratna calls
then please don't tell her
that Sanjay has got married and all that.
Sanjay has asked me not to.
I still can't believe
that these things are happening with us.
It's not happening right now
things have happened already.
You are free now.
We are about to start a new life.
You can restart your education.
Appear for twelfth grade exams.
Then go to college or learn computers
whatever you wish to.
I am there for you.
I will arrange for everything,.
And we will fulfil
your mother's wish, just watch.
I felt all this was just a dream.
But was it a beautiful dream or a nightmare
Only time would tell.
But my life will cross such a path
I had never imagined.
Whatever future has for me
I wasn't even aware of it.
Ma'am, we got Sanjay number from a driver.
But he has kept his phone switched off.
Did you know anything about his employer?
Whose truck was he driving?
He left that job two months back.
He never came for delivery and all that.
He used to come for Chanda.
He was making this plan since a long time.
Wicked man!
I feel he must've sold Chanda to someone else.
Ma'am, I feel they were in love.
Chanda got stuck with this idiot.
Ask your informers to start operating.
Ma'am, that's already been done.
Everyone is busy with it.
What about Constable Pachuri?
The one who is under our control.
Ask him to help us in this.
Get all the information for him
so that we know the ways to inflict pain to him.
He must have a family for sure.
Listen.
Bring Chanda back in one piece.
Ensure that nothing happens to her face.
Wasim, remember that.
We don't have to kill Chanda
but if need arise
we will kill that driver!
He won't dictate terms in this story.
