A little help please - re. the fat kid


OK, so I just watched this movie at the cinema to kill some time but unfortunately there were no subtitles so I couldn't understand the language. Fortunately, this film was very simple to follow and I probably would have left the cinema if it turned out to be a intense drama but the action sequences kept me hooked!

Anyhow - the one scene that I couldn't understand at all was the one with the fat kid. It seemed that he entered with someone (on my understanding his father) and then the father bailed, leaving the poor kid alone to go and make a telephone call. Then the gangsters, very kindly, released him but he got shot down anyway! So my question: Who were the kid and the father, why did the dad just leave him there? Also, why did the poor kid get shot? He seemed really innocent to me.

Finally, If there is a better scene in any other film than the guy doing a forward roll across the corridor amidst all the gunfire, I would love to see it!

The father was a business man protected by Dawood who lives is Dubai. Maya asks for RS 7 mill. He, however, brought along with him 3 mill. So Maya says to him that he has to get the rest of the money, and when he does he can get his kid back. The father then goes out and calls Dawood who then calls ACP Khan and tells him where Maya and co. are hiding.

The policeman kills the kid after asking him which appartement he came from. They were simply killing (encountering) anyone coming from that appartement.

I hope that helped!

I bought the DVD and unfortunately there are French subtitles !

What a pity they hire someone who can handle a dictionary but does not speak French !

ie, when the TV journalist is stopped by the police she says : "Press" and the screen displays : Pression (pressure) instead of "Presse"

Amithab begins a line by : "Well" and we can see "Puits" which means "well" as in "wishing well". We begin our sentences by "Bon" or "Bien".
I don't know if this is tragic or hilarious ...
