The ending (spoilers, obviously)

I watched this movie a few days ago and I can't get the ending out of my mind. Maybe it was something lost in translation or not being able to read the tiny print on the TV screen but what happened in the ending? I "got" the movie up until the end and then it got confusing for me. It showed the older brother standing with Patel watching the giant storage unit hovering over the ship. Did the people in it get to their destination? Were they killed (my fear)? The money the younger brother found in the box, was that from his brother? Arggg....so many questions. The ending bothered me. I really just want to make sure those people weren't killed or sold as slaves or something equally horrible. Thanks!

I just watched this movie, here is my attempt to answer your questions:

Did the people in it get to their destination? Were they killed (my fear)?
--> this is left for audience imagination, it is not clarified in the movie

The money the younger brother found in the box, was that from his brother?
yes, his older brother borrowed the money from Patel and gave it to his younger brother (through Rajan). However, Patel does not know that these two are brothers.

I agree, the ending is bit confusing, I expected the older brother to sink the ship (or do something) to kill Patel, because there is no way he can repay that amount to Patel...
