Khaali Peeli

Khaali Peeli

Set in 2007, the story is about two childhood sweethearts, Pooja (Ananya Panday) and Blackie (Ishaan Khatter), who get separated due to certain circumstances when they were kids. Blackie, born Vijay, has had a criminal mind since childhood when he planned a jewellery heist with his father, but was caught by the police. Blackie is able to escape and has constantly been on the run. Blackie is a taxi driver who has agreed to drop a pregnant lady off at the hospital (for INR 5000) during the city-wide taxi strike. He is confronted by the union leader and 2 other drivers, and in the melee, he stabs one of the drivers in the stomach. Pooja, who is a prostitute (& is to be married to a long-term client of hers, Choksi Seth (Swanand Kirkire), who has fallen in love with her), decides to escape the brothel on turning 18, with a bag full of stolen money. She bumps into Blackie, who is on the run from the police, and his taxi accidentally collides. He agrees to "drive" her to freedom (as she is being pursued by goons), in exchange for a hefty amount (Rs 15,000). When he finds out that she is running with a bag full of money, he raises his fee to Rs 25,000. Khala (Vaishali Thakkar) is Pooja's madam and is in a soup with don Yusuf Chikna (Jaideep Ahlawat), who owns the brothel. Yusuf kills Khala. Ten years ago, Yusuf had taken Blackie under his wing, and he first met Pooja (when she was still a child) at the brothel.
