(temple bells tolling)
[Ramanand]: He is hurt,
but his spine is still intact.
Somewhere between Varanasi and Ghazipur,
he has a factory of fake currency notes.
We've been trying to locate it for 4 years but haven't been able to.
You have to break Waseem's spine.
And you don't have much time. I mean...
I hope you understand what I am saying.
[Saraswati]: You take care of the dosage.
[Doctor 1(M)]: Yes, ma'am.
[Lady 1]: Greetings, ma'am. [Saraswati]: Greetings.
[Lady 1]: Ma'am, we need the CM's sign on all these papers.
[Saraswati]: Come, I'll get them signed.
[Lady 2]: Ma'am, the doctor in ward 14
is training our low-caste sisters to work as nurses.
In the next election, they will vote for our party again.
They have requested for additional support.
[Saraswati]: Roli Rai. Hmm.
[Man 1]: That damned Vijay is stealing our business from Muzaffarpur to Ghazipur.
[Man 2]: He's been a pain in the a**.
[Man 1]: Boss, we must do something about him.
[Bilal]: Boss.
[Waseem]: Leave for now. We'll talk later. [Man 1]: Okay, boss.
[Waseem]: Welcome, ACP Himanshu from Mumbai!
I was expecting you. Have a seat.
[Himanshu]: Sir.
[Waseem]: I've heard many stories of your valour.
Tell me.
What kind of hospitality do you like?
[Himanshu]: I'll enjoy your hospitality some other time.
For now, I need information from you.
[Waseem]: You put even spies to shame when it comes to investigation.
What information can I give you?
Anyway, ask me.
[Himanshu]: Who was involved in the Nirauhra scandal?
[Waseem]: If you had asked me a few years ago, I would've said I was involved.
But the thing is, I'm an honourable person now.
The honourable home minister.
Now, if my name is linked to that scandal,
then the whole state will lose face along with me,
and I don't want that.
[Himanshu]: The news that one Vijay Singh is alive
has rattled you, minister.
But you're the home minister.
The honourable home minister.
You can get him arrested whenever you want.
So, what's the problem?
[Waseem]: There is a problem.
The problem is,
I had left some tasks unfinished before I became the minister.
If I want to finish them now, I'll have to become the old Waseem Khan,
and I don't want to.
By the way, I heard that the sword of suspension is hanging over your head.
You wouldn't want to go back empty-handed
and have the sword fall on your neck.
[Himanshu]: Only time will tell on whose neck the sword will fall.
[Waseem]: You're absolutely right. Time will tell.
Did you get the information?
[Himanshu]: Yes.
Uh...
I have a request, sir.
Henceforth, don't send your spies after me.
If you have questions for me, ask me to my face. I'll answer them.
Because Himanshu Patnaik
is honest and transparent.
[Waseem]: Done.
(theme music over opening titles)
[Katta]: Sanki.
Son of a b...
Who are you?
[Katta]: I'm Sanki's childhood friend.
[Sanki's wife]: Does that lunatic have friends too?
[Katta]: Yes. We grew up together.
We also studied together.
[Sanki's wife]: I see.
[Katta]: By the way,
Sanki never told me about you.
[Sanki's wife]: Unfortunately, I'm his wife.
[Katta]: Oh, that damned Sanki got married! He didn't even invite me!
[Sanki's wife]: Would you like tea? [Katta]: Sure.
[Katta]: I'll drink tea to celebrate his wedding.
[Sanki's wife]: Come in. I'll boil some.
[Sanki's wife]: How much sugar would you like?
[Katta]: A lot of sugar, bhabhi ji.
[Sanki's wife]: Aren't you afraid of diabetes?
[Katta]: No. Since my life isn't sweet anymore, I'm not afraid.
[Sanki's wife]: You talk like an astrologer.
Sit. I'll be right back.
Hey, as***le!
What are you gawking at?
[Katta]: I was looking at the house.
It's a beautiful house.
[Sanki's wife]: You pr*ck, the house is up here.
What were you doing down there?
[Katta]: No. I was appreciating the beauty down there too.
(gunshot)
[Sanki's wife]: Get out, motherf**ker! [Katta]: Look...
[Sanki's wife]: Get out, as***le! [Katta]: Look...
[Sanki's wife]: Get out! (gunshot)
Motherf**ker, if I see you again, I'll bury you alive!
[Doctor 1(M)]: Ma'am, he's only technically alive.
He's breathing, but his body has completely given up.
[Saraswati]: How many days does he have?
[Doctor 1(M)]: Around two or three.
(monitor beeping)
[Saraswati]: There will be no post-mortem conducted on his body.
[Doctor 1(M)]: Okay, ma'am. It won't be conducted.
I'll handle everything.
(monitor beeping)
(sirens wailing)
[Saraswati]: Stop the car.
Come inside.
Let's go.
Why were you so desperate to meet me?
[Sanki]: I want to contest the election.
I want to become a legislator. I want to win the election
and become a minister.
[Saraswati]: That's the beauty of our democracy.
Any stupid f**ker can contest an election and become a legislator.
I'm not calling you that.
You may contest the election.
But... What's in it for me?
[Sanki]: I'll pay you
like everyone else does.
[Saraswati]: Lakhs of rupees are spent on election campaigns.
Where will you get so much money from?
[Sanki]: Don't go by my face.
I have a lot of money, but I don't show off.
I keep a low profile.
[Saraswati]: What I want from you is not money but something else.
[Sanki]: I'll give you whatever you want.
But I want a ticket from your party.
Because if I contest the election on your party's ticket,
I'll win resoundingly.
[Saraswati]: Sure.
I'll make sure you get a ticket.
[Sanki]: Are you sure?
[Saraswati]: Hmm.
[Sanki]: Thank you, ma'am.
I knew that the woman who holds the reins of such a big party
would surely give me a ticket.
You're very kind-hearted.
Tell me frankly. What do you want?
[Saraswati]: I'll tell you when the time comes.
[Sanki]: Okay. I'll be at your service.
I forgot to ask you the main thing.
When I become a legislator,
I'll get a helicopter, right?
[Saraswati]: Why do you want a helicopter?
[Sanki]: Well, it's personal.
Just know that when one looks up at the sky and spits,
the spit comes back down and falls on one's face.
But when one spits down from the sky...
[Saraswati]: If you see so many dreams at once,
they'll blind your eyes.
Your first goal
should be to win the election.
But before you win,
you must repay my favour.
[Sanki]: Consider it done.
I'll take your leave.
(indistinct chatter)
[Man 3]: Greetings, boss!
[Man 4]: Here comes His Lordship.
What took you so long?
[Bilal]: I was banging your fiancée.
Let's go.
(vehicle approaching)
[Bilal]: Hey, Sattar!
(sound of grinding machine running)
[Bilal]: Take out all this money quickly. And take it inside.
Hurry up. All of it.
[Bilal]: Come on, pick it up. [Sattar]: Pick it up!
[Sattar]: Pick that up too.
[Man 5]: This way. Come this way.
Be careful.
[Bilal]: Yes, get to work quickly.
[Man 6]: Be careful.
If you mix fake notes with genuine ones, your bones will be broken.
[Bilal]: If our boss finds out about this,
as***le, you have no idea what will happen to you.
[Man 6]: Mind your own business. Got it?
[Bilal]: Motherf**ker!
[Saraswati]: The doctor in ward 14 who trains nurses...
What's her name?
[Lady 2]: Dr Roli Rai.
[Saraswati]: Roli Rai.
[Saraswati]: She's doing good work. [Lady 2]: Yes, ma'am.
[Saraswati]: I was thinking, why don't we felicitate her?
[Lady 2]: That's a good idea. She's a very bright girl.
[Saraswati]: So, arrange a meeting with her.
[Lady 2]: Yes, ma'am. I'll arrange it.
[Saraswati]: It smells like cow dung in here.
[Lady 2]: Sadanand is here.
[Saraswati]: We've found the source of the stink.
Greetings.
[Saraswati]: So, arrange a meeting. You may go. [Lady 2]: Yes, ma'am.
[Lady 2]: Rest assured.
[Lady 2]: Greetings. [Lady 1]: Greetings.
[Sadanand]: Greetings. [Lady 1]: Greetings.
[Sadanand]: Greetings. [Lady 2]: Greetings.
[Saraswati]: Come in. Have a seat. [Sadanand]: Yes.
[Sadanand]: Ma'am, do you want to meet Roli?
[Saraswati]: You can't do any work,
but you eavesdrop on every conversation!
[Sadanand]: Ma'am,
only I can help you.
I'll help you meet Vijay Singh.
I can help you meet Roli in an instant, with the goddess' blessings.
But...
I need some time to bring Vijay Singh to you.
[Saraswati]: Will you bring him to me before 2025?
Is that enough time for you?
Meanwhile, I'll meet Roli.
[Sadanand]: Ma'am,
it could backfire.
Look, my elder brother is very fond of her.
She might tell on you. Think about it.
[Saraswati]: Wow!
That's priceless information!
You've opened my eyes!
If you want to be of use,
arrange a meeting with Vijay Singh fast.
Don't give me such stupid advice. Got it?
[Sadanand]: Ma'am, I'm trying...
[Keshav]: Sir, is there no electricity here?
[Officer 1(M)]: Of course, there is.
If you press a switch in one room, it turns on the light in another room.
It's a government office, after all.
'Public works department, Varanasi'
[Officer 1(M)]: Anyway, there's no power here. How could there be electricity?
[Keshav]: Oh, I see!
(door opens)
[Keshav]: Haven't you heard Mahatma Gandhi's quote?
Cleanliness is next to godliness. This is so dirty!
[Officer 1(M)]: This is clean, sir.
Earlier, it was very difficult even to come in here.
This is Vijay Singh's file.
[Keshav]: Are you blind? It says Bechan Singh here.
[Officer 1(M)]: Did you get your job by paying a bribe or by studying?
You're a policeman, and you don't know
that no kingpin takes contracts using his own name.
Bechan Singh was Vijay's uncle.
All contracts were issued to him.
Anyway, everything is under Waseem and Bilal's control now.
[Himanshu]: And this?
This is Ramanand Rai's file.
Who did he take contracts for?
[Officer 1(M)]: Sir, I have no idea.
[Himanshu]: You don't know!
This is your department. It's your responsibility.
You should know whose files these are, and who took contracts under whose name.
And you don't know for whom Ramanand Rai took contracts!
[Officer 1(M)]: Sir, I'm telling you the truth.
I don't know anything about this.
[Himanshu]: Okay. Do you at least know who you work under?
[Officer 1(M)]: Senior Officer Deenanath.
[Himanshu]: Where is he? [Officer 1(M)]: He has retired, sir.
[Himanshu]: And where does he live?
[Officer 1(M)]: Sir, I don't know his address. [Himanshu]: You don't know!
[Himanshu]: Isn't it strange, Keshav?
You know nothing!
You don't know who Ramanand Rai took contracts for.
You don't know where the senior officer lives.
You worked for the same department. Are you telling us the truth?
[Officer 1(M)]: I'm telling the truth, sir.
I really don't know anything about this.
[Keshav]: Look, tell the truth to ACP sir.
[Officer 1(M)]: Sir, I'm telling you the truth.
How could I lie to police officers?
[Himanshu]: Okay.
(birds chirping)
(everyone giggles)
[Minister 1(M)]: Has the CM left us yet?
[Mr Srivastava]: He's as good as gone.
[Rai's P.A.]: Come in, sir.
[Mr Srivastava]: Oh, it's Mr Rai.
[Minister 1(M)]: Mr Rai, greetings. [Ramanand]: Greetings.
[Minister 2(M)]: Sir, greetings.
[Minister 2(M)]: Greetings, sir.
[Ramanand]: Greetings to you all.
Before we start the discussion,
let's pray for the honourable CM's long life.
May God hear our prayers,
and may our respected CM recover fast.
Sit.
But
God forbid, even if something happens to him,
the party will follow his ideals
and continue to serve the people of this state.
I've promised him
that after his death,
I'll carry the party forward on my shoulders.
I'm confident that I will have the support of all of you.
[Minister 1(M)]: Sure, Mr Rai. [Mr Srivastava]: Of course.
[Mr Srivastava]: We are all with you, Mr Rai.
[Man 1]: Mr Rai, we are all with you. [Ramanand]: Thank you.
[Man 1]: You're our leader.
[Minister 1(M)]: Mr Rai, you have the support of all of us.
But to achieve a majority, you'll need the support of Waseem's 12 MLAs.
[Mr Srivastava]: He's right.
If no one gets a majority, the governor's rule will be imposed.
[Minister 1(M)]: And Saraswati Devi
is eager to achieve her dream of becoming the CM.
She even meets Waseem secretly these days.
[Ramanand]: Let me inform you all that whatever needs to be done
will be done.
I'm going to meet the honourable CM today.
And I'll discuss all these issues with him clearly.
[Mr Srivastava]: Yes. That's very good. [Minister 1(M)]: That'd be great.
[Minister 1(M)]: Victory to... [All]: Ramanand Rai!
(door latch rattling)
(door opens)
[Sanki]: How do I look?
I'm going to become a legislator.
And soon, the chief minister too.
Think about it. If you were with me today,
you would've been a legislator's wife.
You would've had so much power.
But you ruined your fate with your own hands.
Your days are numbered.
The moment the love for you in my heart dries up,
you'll die.
Open your mouth.
Damn it!
Come on. Open your mouth.
Fine. Don't eat.
Don't eat.
I love you, you sl*t!
Die!
(door latch rattling)
[Lady 2]: Ma'am, Roli is here. [Saraswati]: Send her in.
[Lady 2]: Yes.
[Roli]: Greetings, ma'am. [Saraswati]: Greetings. Sit.
[Saraswati]: What would you like to drink? [Roli]: Nothing, thank you.
[Saraswati]: Your work is greatly appreciated.
(Roli chuckles)
[Roli]: Well, it's a small step.
[Saraswati]: A journey of a 1,000 miles begins with one small step.
And this small step will take you a long way.
You don't realise that your small step
is such a big deal for so many low-caste women.
And one day,
all of them will stand on their own two feet thanks to you.
[Roli]: Yes. I want to do something good for society.
[Saraswati]: May I ask you something? [Roli]: Sure, ask me.
[Saraswati]: Will you tell me the truth?
Where is Vijay Singh?
[Roli]: Vijay is dead.
[Saraswati]: Really?
So, why are you wearing rings on your toes?
(knock on door)
[Sanki's wife]: Wait! I'm coming, motherf**ker!
Do you want to ride my a**?
[Sanki]: Why do you always curse me?
[Sanki]: Come on. Make tea for me. Tired.
[Sanki's wife]: Why should I make tea for you?
[Sanki's wife]: Am I responsible for the whole world?
First, I served your friend. Now, you want me to serve you!
[Sanki]: Which friend of mine?
[Sanki's wife]: Your childhood friend. He said you learnt about life together.
What did you study anyway?
[Sanki]: I've never learnt anything in life.
Who the hell learnt about life with me?
[Sanki's wife]: That's why I was suspicious!
I thrashed him and kicked him out.
[Sanki]: What did he say?
[Sanki's wife]: Nothing. He said he was your friend.
He called me bhabhi. So, I invited him in.
[Sanki]: Oh God! How can you let just about anyone in?
[Raju]: Sis, please give me some dal. [Sanki's wife]: Just a minute.
[Sanki]: That motherf**king as***le! [Sanki's wife]: Look...
[Sanki]: Don't stop me!
Get up, as***le. Get up!
[Sanki's wife]: Look... [Raju]: Let me finish eating.
[Sanki]: Oh, you want to eat!
[Sanki's wife]: Don't scold him while he's eating.
[Sanki]: You expect me not to scold him! [Sanki's wife]: Yes.
[Sanki]: Look at his beard! [Sanki's wife]: Look...
[Sanki]: Get up! Get lost, as***le!
[Sanki's wife]: Look, I'm saying this for the last time.
[Raju]: Listen! Vijay Singh's brother, Chunnu, wants to meet you.
[Sanki]: So, you met Vijay Singh!
[Sanki]: Motherf**ker! [Raju]: I didn't meet him. His men called me.
[Raju]: Respectfully. [Sanki]: Really? And?
[Raju]: They want to join forces with you. [Sanki]: And? What else?
[Raju]: Waseem Khan is their enemy and yours too.
[Sanki]: Really? [Raju]: Join forces with them, man.
[Sanki]: Really? [Raju]: Your strength will be doubled.
[Raju]: He'll act as your muscle during the election.
[Sanki's wife]: Yes, he's right. [Sanki]: Be quiet!
[Sanki]: You think you're so smart! [Raju]: It's a good idea!
[Raju]: I want you to become a legislator. [Sanki]: I see!
[Raju]: Then, we brothers-in-law will rule over Purvanchal.
[Sanki]: You as***le! Motherf**ker!
[Sanki]: Was Vijay Singh present there? [Raju]: He wasn't.
[Sanki]: Who else was there? [Raju]: Chunnu and Katta.
[Sanki]: Was anyone else present there? [Raju]: There was some driver!
(Sanki laughs)
[Sanki]: Look at him!
Your f**king moron of a brother... My brother-in-law...
That Vijay doesn't have the b*lls
to meet Sanki Pandey face-to-face.
So, he met a f**king lowlife like you.
Do you know why?
Because I had shoved bombs under his a**.
Now, go and tell that f**king Vijay's underlings
that to screw Waseem Khan in the a**,
Sanki Pandey alone is enough. Got it?
Come on. Get the hell out of here.
Get lost, as***le!
[Raju]: Sis, I'll come back to eat.
[Sanki's wife]: Yes, my dear.
[Sanki]: Sure! Give this stupid f**ker all the food in the house!
F**king stupid brother!
[Lady 1]: Ma'am, there is a call from the CM House.
[Saraswati]: Hello. [Doctor 1(M)]: Greetings, ma'am.
[Doctor 1(M)]: Ma'am, the respected CM has passed away.
[Saraswati]: I'll be there soon.
But no one must find out about this.
[Saraswati]: Not even a whiff. [Doctor 1(M)]: Okay, ma'am.
[Ramanand]: Cancel all meetings.
If anyone calls, tell them I'll talk to them later.
[Sadanand]: Brother, you look very stressed. Where are you going?
[Ramanand]: I'm going to hell. Do you want to come along?
[Sadanand]: No, I'm spraying insecticide... [Roli]: Uncle.
[Roli]: Uncle, I want to talk to you. [Sadanand]: Roli, I'm in a hurry.
[Sadanand]: I mean, is it important?
[Roli]: It's very important. [Sadanand]: Get in the car.
[Roli]: Okay. [Ramanand]: We'll talk on the way.
[Sadanand]: The glass is so dirty! It's...
[Ramanand]: Do you expect the chief minister to wait for you?
On top of it, this mess you've created...
[Sadanand]: Yes. [Ramanand]: Move out of my sight.
[Ramanand]: You've made me lose my temper.
[Ramanand]: Morning to evening... [Sadanand]: Get in.
[Security guard 1(M)]: Let's go. [Security guard 2(M)]: Come, let's go.
(vehicles passing)
[Saraswati]: It’s taking so long because CM sir is unwell.
[Saraswati]: But rest assured... [Lady 1]: Ma'am, Sadanand has called.
[Saraswati]: I'll talk to you later. [Lady 3]: Okay, ma'am.
[Saraswati]: Hello. [Sadanand]: Ma'am.
[Sadanand]: My brother has left to meet Mr Bansiram.
I'll hang up.
[Ramanand]: Tell me, my dear. What's the matter?
[Roli]: I met Saraswati Devi today.
[Ramanand]: You met Saraswati?
[Roli]: Yes.
[Ramanand]: I mean, what happened?
You bypassed me and went straight to her!
[Roli]: I didn't go to meet her.
She had called me there.
She wants to make me the president of the women's front.
And she has promised me a ticket from the party in the next election.
[Ramanand]: Really?
What else will she make you?
[Roli]: She said
if I win the election, it'll be my chance to rehabilitate Vijay's image.
(sirens wailing)
[Saraswati]: What happened? Go and take a look.
(people shouting) (sirens wailing)
[Man 7]: Hey, man! Get moving quickly. Is this how you drive?
Make way. Move aside.
(indistinct chatter) (horn honks)
[Security guard 3(M)]: Ma'am, it's a usual traffic jam. [Saraswati]: Clear it.
[Saraswati]: We don't have time. Hurry up. [Security guard 3(M)]: Okay, ma'am.
(sirens wailing)
[Ramanand]: Look, let me explain something to you. [Roli]: Yes.
[Ramanand]: Waseem Khan is very close to Saraswati.
The same Waseem Khan who is Vijay's sworn enemy.
And on top of that, I'm your uncle.
Despite that, Saraswati says she wants to give you a ticket.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
[Roli]: Yes.
[Ramanand]: Look, very few people have seen Vijay.
Very few people know that Vijay is alive.
I suspect this is a conspiracy to expose the truth about Vijay.
Vijay's life could be in danger too.
So, you should refuse Saraswati's offer.
[Roli]: I understand your concern.
I don't know why, but I feel that she really wants to help me.
[Ramanand]: What do you mean she wants to help you?
In politics, there's no such thing as emotion.
All that is there is betrayal.
I want to warn you because I'm your uncle.
But think about it.
You may choose whom to believe.
That Saraswati or me?
The decision is yours.
I'll tell the driver to drop you off at home.
[Security guard 3(M)]: Clear the traffic jam! [Man 7]: Are you blind?
[Man 7]: Go through that side. [Security guard 3(M)]: Move!
(sirens wailing)
[Rai's P.A.]: Come on, sir.
[Police Officer 1(M)]: Wait.
[Police Officer 1(M)]: Sir, you may not go inside.
[Ramanand]: Do you know who I am?
[Police Officer 1(M)]: Sir, I know who you are.
But ma'am has strictly ordered...
[Ramanand]: To hell with the orders! Move aside!
[Police Officer 1(M)]: Sir! Please, sir! [Rai's P.A.]: What are you doing?
(sad background music)
(Saraswati weeping softly)
[Ramanand]: He...
[Saraswati]: CM sir has left us. (cries)
Me, the party, the state... (cries)
Everyone has been orphaned. (cries)
(sad background music)
