...brokerage mein, nuqsaan kaa koi scope nahii.n hotaa

Film: Baazaar
Year of release: 2018
Spoken by: Shakun Kothari (Saif Ali Khan)
Spoken to:  Rizwan Ahmed (Rohan Vinod Mehra)
Dialogue writer: Aseem Arora

This was supposed to be India's Wall Street equivalent, but turned out to be a damp squib. One does wonder though, in spite of all the shenanigans that have gone on in India's stock markets, why more engaging films are not made about it. The answer probably lies in the fact that barely 3% of India invests in stocks. Who would want to make a film where your possible total audience is 3% of the country. Compare that to America where over 50% of the country does invest in stocks in one way or the other. Hence a Wall Street can even have a sequel or you can even have a Rogue Trader (which is super niche). 

Coming back to the story, Shakun is a fraudulent man who tries to take advantage of all those who trust him. After he does a pump and dump on the Skycomm stock (a company that he has given to Rizwan to run), he is explaining to Rizwan why he did what he did.

He is trying to tell him that it is more profitable to be a broker than to be a business owner. 

"6000 crore meri fees...kabhi kabhi 2% brokerage, 20% profits se zyaadaa faaydemand hoti hai...kyonki 2% brokerage mein, nuqsaan kaa koi scope nahii.n hotaa..."
"६००० करोड़ मेरी फीस...कभी कभी २% ब्रोकरेज, २०% प्रोफिट्स से ज़्यादा फ़ायदेमंद होती है...क्योंकि २% ब्रोकरेज में, नुक़सान का कोई स्कोप नहीं होता..."
