Faster Fene Timeline Explained: Your Questions Answered

When does it happen, and why in that order? The questions people ask about the chronology of Faster Fene (2017): time jumps, flashbacks, cause and effect between scenes and the correct order of events, each answered with spoilers.

Q1

Why did Banesh suspect his friend's death was murder instead of suicide?

Banesh noticed inconsistencies that didn't align with suicide. His friend had appeared ambitious and showed no signs of depression. Additionally, the CCTV footage showed the friend being chased by a suspect after the exam, then exiting the hostel in a terrified state 15 minutes later before hailing a rickshaw. These details made Banesh conclude it was a murder staged as suicide.

Foreshadowing: Earlier in the film, Banesh is portrayed as observant and quick-witted, traits that help him notice details others miss.

  • banesh
  • murder
  • suicide
  • cctv
  • investigation
Q2

What is the dummy admission system that Appa runs?

Appa's syndicate manipulates college admissions through a "dummy" system. A wealthy student's someone else (like Amol, a poor coaching center coach) takes the entrance exam in place of the actual student. The dummy poses as the real applicant, and if the scheme is discovered, the dummy takes the blame while the wealthy student gets the seat.

  • dummy
  • admission scam
  • appa
  • exam fraud
  • college admission
Q3

Why was Amol targeted by Appa's gang?

Amol was targeted because he witnessed the murder of another person involved in the syndicate. While working as a dummy for Rahul Khamkar (the minister's son), Amol saw the syndicate commit murder to eliminate evidence. Appa's goons then chased him to silence him, making him both a witness and a liability.

  • amol
  • appa
  • witness
  • murder
  • syndicate
Q4

Who is Rahul Khamkar and what is his role in the conspiracy?

Rahul Khamkar is the son of a corrupt minister. He is the actual student who was supposed to benefit from the dummy system. Instead of taking the medical entrance exam himself, Rahul paid Appa's syndicate to have Amol take the exam in his place. When Amol became a witness to murder, Rahul's identity was hidden to protect the minister's family from scandal.

Foreshadowing: The syndicate's connection to political power is hinted at early when Appa's influence over college admissions is first revealed.

  • rahul khamkar
  • minister
  • dummy
  • exam
  • conspiracy
Q5

What happened to the pen Banesh received from Bhagwat?

Banesh lent the pen to his new friend at the exam center after the friend forgot his own pen. After the exam, Banesh tried to retrieve it but learned his friend had left early. The pen was never recovered, which disappointed Banesh since it was given to him by Bhagwat as a reward for rescuing Bhu-Bhu.

  • pen
  • bhagwat
  • lost
  • exam
  • banesh
Q6

Why did Appa threaten to harm Aboli?

Appa threatened to harm Aboli to force Banesh to deliver Amol. When Banesh refused to hand over the witness, Appa had his associate Pillai capture Aboli and then called Banesh with the warning that Aboli's safety depended on Banesh bringing Amol to Appa's location.

  • abol i
  • appa
  • threat
  • kidnapping
  • pressure
Q7

How did Banesh finally expose Appa's admissions conspiracy?

Banesh exposed the entire conspiracy through a public media conference where both Amol's testimony and Rahul Khamkar's identity were revealed. He presented the evidence gathered throughout his investigation, including the connection between the exam fraud, the murder, and the political involvement. This public exposure forced authorities to take action against the syndicate.

  • expose
  • media
  • conference
  • appa
  • conspiracy
  • evidence
Q8

How did Banesh manage to overpower Appa on the rooftop?

Banesh tricked Appa by claiming he had brought Amol as requested. When Appa's goons realized the person was actually Rahul Khamkar (the minister's son), chaos ensued. Banesh used the distraction to seize Appa's own insulin pen and inject him with sedatives, knocking out the mafia don. The authorities then arrived to arrest Appa and his associates.

  • rooftop
  • appa
  • insulin pen
  • sedate
  • capture
  • banesh
Q9

Why did Banesh decide to investigate the robbery at Bhagwat's house?

When Banesh arrived at Bhagwat's Pune home, he discovered a robbery had already occurred. He noticed the police response would be delayed by about three hours due to a nearby political event. Using this window, Banesh's investigative instincts kicked in, and he began examining clues to find the thieves himself.

  • robbery
  • investigation
  • bhagwat
  • pune
  • delay
Q10

Why was Bhu-Bhu forced into stealing for the criminals?

Bhu-Bhu is a ten-year-old orphan who was coerced into theft by criminal elements. The criminals pressed him into service because they could use a child as an expendable tool to steal from senior citizens. Banesh discovered the boy was being threatened and forced into criminal activity rather than acting out of choice.

  • bhu-bhu
  • orphan
  • theft
  • forced
  • criminal
  • boy
Q11

Why did Bhagwat decide to adopt Bhu-Bhu?

After Banesh rescued Bhu-Bhu from the criminals who were forcing him to steal, Bhagwat was moved by the boy's difficult situation as an orphan. Seeing an opportunity to help rather than punish the child, Bhagwat chose to adopt Bhu-Bhu and give him a proper home.

  • bhagwat
  • adoption
  • bhu-bhu
  • orphan
  • home
Q12

What motivated Banesh to continue investigating despite the danger?

Banesh's motivation came from multiple factors: his natural curiosity and sharp wit, his desire to prove the truth about his friend's death, and later his determination to protect those he cared about including Aboli, Bhagwat, and Amol. His strong sense of justice and refusal to let corruption go unchallenged drove him forward even as the threats escalated.
