This film had an interesting premise, but the final product was underwhelming. The film begins by establishing the three main characters. The first two are obviously Rishi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan. But the third and equally important character is that of Jimit Trivedi. He plays the role of a medical store delivery boy and attendant. In the opening scene, a couple comes to the shop and asks for B-complex capsules. Dhiru takes out a strip and notices that it is about to expire in 10 days. He is established (by Vijay Raaz's voice over) to be a person who does not have a filter between brain and tongue. Hence he loudly asks the store owner whether he should give the customer this strip or the fresher stock that he had been asked to keep separately by the store owner for later use. An embarrassed store owner asks Dhiru to take out the fresh stock. After paying the money, the grateful customers thank Dhiru before leaving. 

The store owner takes this in and then calls out to Dhiru:

"Ae Dhiru...dekh beTaa, naukri aise kar, ki "thank you" main boloon, customer nahin"

"ऐ धीरू। ..देख बेटा...नौकरी ऐसे कर, कि "थैंक यू" मैं बोलूँ, कस्टमर नहीं"

Anyone who has worked in sales and has been conflicted between offering the best product (from a competing brand or even your own brand's) or selling the one with the highest commission, knows about such ethical conflicts.

Spoken to:  Rizwan Ahmed (Rohan Vinod Mehra)

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..."
