All their ventures lead to failures. They start different businesses, including a taxi company by pledging their homes. They amass huge debt and later use a painting that Varun's father has looked after as a prized possession on the pretext that it will fetch them a lot of money. That effort also turns in vain and they have ventured into new opportunities. Later, Ajaz tries to triplicate the money his father gave him to go to Dubai to work with a racket and gets cheated.
