WEBVTT

00:15.280 --> 00:18.201
(wedding mantras echoing)

00:22.760 --> 00:25.600
(Baapji) May your love
bring you endless joy,

00:26.799 --> 00:31.479
and may your shared journey
be filled with love and prosperity.

00:34.120 --> 00:35.159
Go on, now.

00:35.440 --> 00:39.199
It's not auspicious to finish
the ceremony after the sun sets.

01:03.800 --> 01:04.800
JUSTICE

01:57.679 --> 02:01.560
(melancholic music)

02:23.720 --> 02:28.679
-(protestors) Shame on Baapji!
-(devotees) Long live Baapji!

02:35.880 --> 02:38.999
(reporters clamouring)

02:41.870 --> 02:43.870
(reporters clamouring continues)

02:44.679 --> 02:46.720
Baapji! Baapji!

02:46.880 --> 02:48.116
(Amitabh) Hey, you! Baapji!

02:48.199 --> 02:50.600
What do you have to say
about Asha Thawari's death?

02:50.960 --> 02:54.240
Wasn't rape enough
that you had to have her killed too?

02:55.319 --> 02:57.719
-(reporter 1) Answer, Baapji.
-(reporter 2) Will the truth win?

02:57.720 --> 02:59.037
(reporter 3) Are you behind this?

02:59.120 --> 03:00.997
Wasn't rape enough?

03:01.080 --> 03:03.916
(overlapping chatter)

03:03.999 --> 03:07.479
(Amitabh) Bloody rapist! Kill me
if you have the guts, you coward.

03:09.960 --> 03:11.880
In this hour of grief,

03:13.839 --> 03:16.039
I stand with the families
of the deceased.

03:17.159 --> 03:21.319
I am praying
for the souls of the departed.

03:22.560 --> 03:23.720
You should too.

03:25.120 --> 03:27.240
(reporters clamouring)

03:28.563 --> 03:31.757
Calm down. Calm down.

03:47.839 --> 03:49.479
I lost a son,

03:50.319 --> 03:51.760
and you a father.

03:53.080 --> 03:55.240
We are tied together by our grief.

03:56.519 --> 03:57.519
Just...

03:58.560 --> 04:00.240
don't shed tears, beta.

04:01.400 --> 04:03.880
Because grief
is that cruel trial,

04:04.040 --> 04:07.118
which tests the very core
of your soul.

04:18.199 --> 04:21.317
(Judge Kurien) Mr. Bhalerao,
please proceed.

04:21.400 --> 04:24.639
(melancholic music)

04:36.619 --> 04:37.939
Your Honour...

04:38.710 --> 04:40.600
I'd like to call
Asha Thawari to the stand.

04:40.799 --> 04:42.679
Objection, Your Honour.

04:43.199 --> 04:44.400
What kind of a joke is this?

04:45.560 --> 04:50.076
Oh, I am sorry, Your Honour.
I forgot she was murdered.

04:50.159 --> 04:51.159
I'm sorry.

04:54.240 --> 04:58.240
Your Honour, I'd like to call
Ashwin Srikumar to the stand.

04:58.880 --> 05:00.517
-(Ved Prakash) What!
-(people murmuring)

05:00.839 --> 05:03.438
Mr. Bhalerao, stop this nonsense.

05:04.613 --> 05:06.173
I'm sorry, Your Honour.

05:15.560 --> 05:19.200
Your Honour, I'd like to call
Sharat Sarathi to the stand.

05:19.503 --> 05:21.623
(Ved Prakash) Your Honour,
what exactly is going on here?

05:21.729 --> 05:25.110
I think the fear of losing this case
has affected his mind.

05:25.250 --> 05:28.523
The outrage I see over
calling out their names in court

05:28.756 --> 05:30.716
is far greater
than the outrage over their deaths.

05:31.040 --> 05:33.598
Your Honour, it's clear
that the death of these witnesses

05:33.681 --> 05:35.878
benefits only one person,
and that is Sunil Chakosi.

05:36.050 --> 05:38.121
I object to these malicious claims,
Your Honour.

05:38.560 --> 05:39.520
Order in my court.

05:39.533 --> 05:42.317
This man has no regard
or respect for this institution.

05:42.400 --> 05:43.758
He should be debarred for this--

05:43.841 --> 05:47.433
For the safety of my client,
arrest Sunil Chakosi right away.

05:47.681 --> 05:48.681
Order in my court!

05:48.681 --> 05:50.598
He's not just a threat to my client
but to society--

05:50.681 --> 05:52.598
They have no proof
of these accusations.

05:52.681 --> 05:55.440
I request the court that
Mr. Bhalerao be held in contempt.

05:55.680 --> 05:57.201
Order in my court!

05:58.961 --> 06:01.038
Mr. Bhalerao, you tend to forget

06:01.121 --> 06:03.760
that you're a lawyer
and this is a courtroom.

06:04.920 --> 06:07.038
Your Honour, the court
tends to forget too.

06:07.121 --> 06:09.400
It has forgotten
that it granted bail to a criminal.

06:13.040 --> 06:15.121
I'm holding you in contempt.

06:15.681 --> 06:18.720
You are to pay a fine
of ₹50,000 immediately.

06:21.840 --> 06:23.280
Where will I get 50,000 from?

06:23.361 --> 06:24.641
(sniggers)

06:25.565 --> 06:26.725
Take it from me.

06:28.001 --> 06:31.046
Your Honour, I request this court

06:31.200 --> 06:32.834
to grant us some more time.

06:33.440 --> 06:35.961
Both of you
have disrespected the court,

06:36.280 --> 06:38.720
and I will not tolerate
this nonsense anymore.

06:43.240 --> 06:46.118
The court grants two weeks
to the prosecution.

06:46.201 --> 06:49.001
-But... Your Honour--
-This hearing is adjourned.

07:22.201 --> 07:24.681
Maybe I am not cut out for law.

07:28.961 --> 07:30.641
I should've...

07:32.121 --> 07:34.841
presented those witnesses
in court much sooner.

07:40.440 --> 07:42.720
It feels like the case has
slipped out of my hands.

07:47.001 --> 07:48.201
So, you've given up?

07:55.961 --> 07:58.361
Maybe I should've given up sooner.

08:00.560 --> 08:02.440
So many lives
wouldn't have been lost.

08:04.521 --> 08:07.040
That's why you were
so worried in court.

08:12.440 --> 08:13.521
I wasn't worried.

08:18.001 --> 08:21.040
That bloody Chakosi
was trying to insult me.

08:27.440 --> 08:30.600
Only one person in the world
was allowed to insult me.

08:34.801 --> 08:36.001
And he's gone too.

08:41.880 --> 08:45.080
Still looking down on me
from up there.

08:50.760 --> 08:52.681
Seems like he was right.

08:55.880 --> 08:59.920
While he was alive,
all I ever did was fight with him.

09:04.481 --> 09:06.869
Even if it was to fight,

09:07.316 --> 09:09.876
at least he was there.

09:12.720 --> 09:14.681
I didn't even get a chance to fight.

09:18.321 --> 09:19.841
What happened to him?

09:22.001 --> 09:26.161
"Whether my head falls
or my life fades away...

09:26.560 --> 09:28.161
(shrieks echo)

09:28.801 --> 09:30.841
"...my country is my identity,
come what may."

09:40.521 --> 09:43.001
When those people
came to kill Daman,

09:46.841 --> 09:48.670
my father did what any father

09:50.480 --> 09:52.080
would've done for his child.

09:52.400 --> 09:54.197
-(mob jeering)
-(sword slashes)

09:54.280 --> 09:55.760
(screams echo)

10:01.001 --> 10:03.481
I pray to God that no child

10:04.321 --> 10:05.640
has to ever look

10:06.790 --> 10:08.577
at their father
in that condition.

10:10.040 --> 10:12.760
(young Jasleen sobbing)

10:19.080 --> 10:20.760
(inhales)

10:26.240 --> 10:27.880
To our fathers.

10:31.521 --> 10:32.521
(glasses clink)

10:40.240 --> 10:41.400
(exhales)

10:45.001 --> 10:47.749
(Bhalerao) Your Honour,
in all this

10:47.840 --> 10:50.588
legal manoeuvring,
we often forget

10:51.481 --> 10:55.600
that our arguments
are confined within these walls.

10:57.201 --> 11:00.481
While outside,
there is blood on the streets.

11:02.040 --> 11:05.600
I wish to make
an unusual request to this court.

11:06.521 --> 11:10.317
I request that the testimonies
of these brave witnesses

11:10.400 --> 11:11.438
be read out in the court.

11:11.521 --> 11:12.880
Objection, Your Honour!

11:13.240 --> 11:14.641
What is this nonsense?

11:15.001 --> 11:17.351
Witnesses who can't
be cross-examined

11:17.440 --> 11:19.343
are not admissible in court--

11:19.440 --> 11:22.312
These testimonies shed light
on a machinery at play,

11:22.361 --> 11:24.118
which has only one objective...

11:24.201 --> 11:27.758
to continue running Saburi
as an Industrial Rape Complex.

11:27.841 --> 11:29.080
(Ved Prakash scoffs)

11:30.001 --> 11:33.238
It's pretty clear, Your Honour,
that the prosecution

11:33.321 --> 11:35.870
is trying to falsely link

11:36.143 --> 11:38.773
these deaths to Baapji's case.

11:40.600 --> 11:42.200
I agree with the defence.

11:43.481 --> 11:46.186
These witnesses
and their testimonies

11:46.280 --> 11:48.480
cannot be taken
into official record.

11:48.607 --> 11:50.247
(Ved Prakash) Thank you,
Your Honour.

11:51.280 --> 11:53.240
(softly) Common sense prevails.

11:54.061 --> 11:55.300
(Judge Kurien) But...

11:55.521 --> 11:59.361
given the questionable circumstances
of these people's deaths,

12:00.841 --> 12:04.278
we should definitely hear them out.

12:04.361 --> 12:05.477
(dramatic music)

12:05.560 --> 12:09.560
-What! But, Your Honour, how--
-Sit down, Ved Prakash-ji.

12:17.121 --> 12:18.321
Thank you.

12:23.720 --> 12:26.280
"We were taught in Saburi

12:26.880 --> 12:29.600
"that we should always
follow our Guru's commands."

12:31.001 --> 12:35.720
We should never question
his intentions or his ways.

12:37.121 --> 12:39.161
We shed our identities.

12:39.400 --> 12:40.878
Forget going back home,

12:40.961 --> 12:43.238
even talking to our parents

12:43.321 --> 12:44.600
was a crime.

12:47.481 --> 12:51.161
This ritual was called
the Gift of Strength.

12:53.161 --> 12:55.038
A transfer of energy

12:55.160 --> 12:57.640
from Baapji's soul to ours.

13:01.201 --> 13:03.878
"We were made to listen
to the same CD for hours, until..."

13:03.961 --> 13:09.920
We became incapable
of thinking about anything else.

13:11.600 --> 13:16.040
(Asha) And after that,
all we could think about was Baapji.

13:17.080 --> 13:20.001
(Bhalerao) "Not just them..."

13:20.481 --> 13:23.161
We would control
their thoughts too.

13:23.361 --> 13:26.240
We only listened
to what we were made to listen.

13:26.641 --> 13:29.278
Only understood
what we were made to understand.

13:29.361 --> 13:30.841
And only did

13:31.680 --> 13:33.800
what we were made to do.

13:38.201 --> 13:39.720
(Jyoti) And then it began.

13:52.240 --> 13:53.923
A spiritual person becomes

13:54.200 --> 13:57.240
detached from
the material world.

13:57.880 --> 13:59.837
(Jyoti) When he touches
his students...

13:59.920 --> 14:02.280
It is a touch of parental love.

14:02.641 --> 14:03.517
(Jyoti) It's not wrong.

14:03.600 --> 14:04.758
(Usha) It is not abuse.

14:04.841 --> 14:06.440
(Jyoti) Just a transfer of energy.

14:11.400 --> 14:13.400
(Ashwin) In the name
of the Gift of Strength,

14:13.681 --> 14:16.600
they were destroying their ability
to think and comprehend,

14:16.880 --> 14:19.201
robbing them of their agency.

14:28.961 --> 14:31.121
What really is
this Gift of Strength?

14:33.280 --> 14:35.078
(Asha) From body to body...

14:35.161 --> 14:36.880
(Meenu) Atom to the universe wide...

14:37.201 --> 14:39.280
(Asha) Let power flow,
far and wide...

14:39.961 --> 14:41.957
(Jyoti) Guru is devotion,
Guru is grace.

14:42.040 --> 14:46.121
May Guru... fill the entire space.

15:06.481 --> 15:07.361
(knocks)

15:13.920 --> 15:15.681
-Namaste, sir.
-Namaste.

15:16.040 --> 15:17.321
(Santosh) Um...

15:17.880 --> 15:21.361
I wanted to... have a word with you.

15:21.521 --> 15:22.440
Yes?

15:25.240 --> 15:26.280
May I come in?

15:27.201 --> 15:28.081
Come.

15:29.440 --> 15:30.760
What happened, tell me?

15:31.720 --> 15:32.720
What is it?

15:33.920 --> 15:35.361
Say something. What happened?

15:37.600 --> 15:40.560
-Master-ji...
-Spit it out. What happened?

15:42.641 --> 15:44.118
The DNA test results are here.

15:44.201 --> 15:45.837
I don't...
I don't want to hear anything.

15:45.920 --> 15:47.118
Leave. Get out of here.

15:47.201 --> 15:49.681
-DNA test has confirmed--
-No DNA test has been done.

15:49.920 --> 15:52.560
-The results confirm--
-Shut your mouth!

15:54.121 --> 15:55.880
You were talking about hope!

15:56.080 --> 15:57.000
Please forgive me--

15:57.001 --> 15:59.423
How can I forgive you?
I don't want to forgive you.

15:59.543 --> 16:01.143
-Get lost.
-Master-ji, please listen to me.

16:01.161 --> 16:03.118
Nothing happened.
I don't want to hear anything.

16:03.201 --> 16:04.438
(slaps) You're lying!

16:04.521 --> 16:05.801
Get out of here!

16:06.080 --> 16:07.641
Why did you come here?

16:07.961 --> 16:11.440
Leave! Get out of my house
right now!

16:12.080 --> 16:13.361
This is Anand's...

16:15.720 --> 16:17.560
This is Anand's flute.

16:19.400 --> 16:20.920
I found it at the location.

16:23.001 --> 16:24.880
Please forgive me, Master-ji.

16:25.801 --> 16:27.481
I couldn't save Anand.

16:30.001 --> 16:31.681
I failed, Master-ji...

16:32.961 --> 16:37.598
I deeply regret
what happened to Anand.

16:37.681 --> 16:39.961
(shrieks in despair) Anand!

16:41.001 --> 16:42.681
Please forgive me, Master-ji.

16:57.121 --> 17:00.961
When I look at a poor person,

17:02.560 --> 17:03.760
I wonder...

17:06.240 --> 17:08.321
Why did God make them poor?

17:11.161 --> 17:14.600
Why do the wicked always prosper?

17:15.920 --> 17:18.760
And why do good souls
suffer so much?

17:19.961 --> 17:22.040
(children's laughter echoing)

17:23.040 --> 17:24.641
Is this not injustice?

17:29.801 --> 17:31.040
There was once...

17:33.280 --> 17:35.760
a thorny tree in the jungle.

17:36.801 --> 17:39.881
And its thorns
would prick anyone

17:40.720 --> 17:42.280
who passed by the tree.

17:44.641 --> 17:46.240
Tired of being pricked,

17:47.161 --> 17:49.720
a man had the tree chopped off.

17:50.760 --> 17:54.641
But the tree was so huge that
it couldn't be completely chopped.

17:56.760 --> 17:58.920
A stump still remained.

18:01.240 --> 18:03.240
One day, a passing cow...

18:04.760 --> 18:07.628
stopped to scratch its back

18:07.760 --> 18:09.640
against the stump

18:09.960 --> 18:12.440
and ruptured its intestines.

18:13.920 --> 18:14.961
(gun clicks)

18:15.760 --> 18:19.321
People cursed the stump a lot.

18:20.040 --> 18:24.038
But were surprised to find

18:24.121 --> 18:26.969
that, after the rains,

18:27.080 --> 18:29.408
new branches sprouted
out of the stump.

18:29.920 --> 18:31.201
(children's laughter echoing)

18:31.321 --> 18:33.669
(through speakers)
People started questioning

18:33.760 --> 18:36.108
the presence of justice,

18:36.801 --> 18:38.560
in this act of God.

18:40.201 --> 18:42.440
But a few days after the rains,

18:42.880 --> 18:46.760
a massive blizzard
uprooted the stump

18:46.840 --> 18:49.180
along with its roots.

18:52.600 --> 18:54.321
The new branches

18:55.280 --> 18:56.758
helped the winds

18:56.840 --> 19:00.179
rip out the stump
and all its roots.

19:03.201 --> 19:05.600
This is divine justice.

19:15.080 --> 19:18.681
Your Honour,
I must accept...

19:19.440 --> 19:24.201
My friend, Bhalerao-ji,
is a very good storyteller.

19:24.920 --> 19:26.121
I really enjoyed it.

19:27.440 --> 19:29.080
But this is a story,

19:29.920 --> 19:32.200
not the reality.
That is important.

19:33.201 --> 19:37.841
He believes that
Saburi is not an ashram but...

19:38.400 --> 19:40.880
a factory where rapes happen

19:40.959 --> 19:43.201
at an industrial scale.

19:46.080 --> 19:50.357
Well, this so-called
factory's conveyor belt...

19:50.440 --> 19:51.681
No, no, what is it called?

19:52.560 --> 19:54.706
The production line
of this factory

19:55.179 --> 19:57.880
has produced
only one victim so far.

19:58.841 --> 20:01.201
Which is also
not confirmed, Your Honour.

20:02.440 --> 20:03.560
But nonetheless,

20:04.841 --> 20:06.641
he's a great storyteller.

20:09.801 --> 20:12.400
Your Honour, I would like
to call my next witness.

20:12.920 --> 20:15.400
She was a student
at Mahasherni School,

20:15.760 --> 20:19.321
and she'll tell us what
the Gift of Strength actually means.

20:21.920 --> 20:25.201
(sombre music)

20:38.161 --> 20:40.400
Darkness fades when Guru prevails.

20:47.841 --> 20:48.961
Amrita-ji...

20:50.201 --> 20:52.920
You were a student
at Mr. Chakosi's school?

20:54.080 --> 20:56.201
I was a student at Baapji's school.

20:56.961 --> 20:59.040
Please address my guru with respect.

21:01.040 --> 21:02.600
And we don't use surnames.

21:03.521 --> 21:06.440
Because we have no religion
or caste.

21:08.201 --> 21:09.321
I beg your pardon.

21:10.600 --> 21:14.321
Please tell the court
what the Gift of Strength is.

21:20.641 --> 21:22.280
From body to body,

21:22.841 --> 21:24.357
atom to the universe wide.

21:24.440 --> 21:26.361
Let power flow, far and wide.

21:26.681 --> 21:29.269
Guru is devotion, Guru is grace.

21:29.360 --> 21:32.000
May Guru fill the entire space.

21:35.130 --> 21:37.790
When a guru
instils his strength

21:37.856 --> 21:40.000
in the lives of his students,

21:40.880 --> 21:42.560
it is called the Gift of Strength.

21:42.841 --> 21:46.321
All right. And what is the purpose
of this Gift of Strength?

21:47.801 --> 21:49.885
True devotion towards Baapji

21:50.840 --> 21:53.120
is only possible
after the Gift of Strength.

21:53.681 --> 21:57.880
Only those who wish to be
true devotees are blessed with it.

21:58.920 --> 22:02.201
And what's the...
procedure of the Gift of Strength?

22:02.961 --> 22:05.760
Baapji first cleanses
our body and mind,

22:06.121 --> 22:08.880
and then gives us a mantra
to gain strength.

22:09.400 --> 22:11.280
Anything except that?

22:17.280 --> 22:18.280
(Ved Prakash) Okay.

22:19.760 --> 22:21.190
While you were at Saburi,

22:22.080 --> 22:24.480
did Baapji ever touch you?

22:32.040 --> 22:33.521
Only once.

22:35.841 --> 22:38.641
When he kept his hand on my head
to give his blessings.

22:40.760 --> 22:43.361
Did he ever touch you
inappropriately?

22:46.080 --> 22:47.080
No.

22:47.920 --> 22:51.560
When someone exploits you,
they take away your strength.

22:52.361 --> 22:53.880
Not give you a Gift of Strength.

22:58.361 --> 22:59.373
Thank you.

23:00.161 --> 23:01.481
That'll be all, Your Honour.

23:03.321 --> 23:05.880
Mr. Bhalerao, your witness?

23:10.321 --> 23:14.321
Only one question comes to mind...

23:15.160 --> 23:17.532
this programme of
the Gift of Strength,

23:17.613 --> 23:20.604
and the cleanliness drive
that follows it,

23:21.460 --> 23:23.701
how come boys
are never a part of it?

23:25.280 --> 23:27.440
Because a woman
is the embodiment of strength.

23:27.560 --> 23:28.681
Not a man.

23:30.641 --> 23:32.886
Also, what is so wrong

23:33.993 --> 23:35.233
in a father bathing his child?

23:35.361 --> 23:37.161
(spectators murmur)

23:40.521 --> 23:41.761
Thank you.

24:04.521 --> 24:06.121
Forget about Amrita.

24:10.440 --> 24:11.961
With all that has happened...

24:13.240 --> 24:15.240
she should've
spoken the truth today.

24:16.321 --> 24:17.801
This is her truth.

24:19.040 --> 24:21.560
-It's not her fault.
-Whose fault is it then?

24:22.240 --> 24:23.841
I should've kept quiet too.

24:27.720 --> 24:30.040
"Never apologise for being correct.

24:31.801 --> 24:33.760
"If you are right and you know it,

24:34.400 --> 24:35.641
"speak your mind."

24:37.440 --> 24:39.400
"Even if you are a minority of one.

24:41.641 --> 24:43.841
"The truth is still the truth."

24:46.641 --> 24:48.080
You know who said this?

24:52.280 --> 24:53.440
How would you know?

24:54.321 --> 24:57.280
We stopped reading and
teaching about him a long time ago.

25:30.001 --> 25:33.801
(tense music)

26:17.201 --> 26:19.042
(Bhalerao) On the day of the crime,

26:19.160 --> 26:21.400
who else visited
Sunil Chakosi's chambers?

26:21.481 --> 26:25.281
(Jasleen) A few lawyers and
a real estate agent, Naren Katyal.

26:25.321 --> 26:26.200
FUNERAL
NAREN KATYAL, PROPERTY DEALER

26:43.040 --> 26:44.240
Your Honour...

26:45.080 --> 26:48.481
The problem with falsehood is
that you have to keep repeating it.

26:49.481 --> 26:51.880
While the truth
needs only to be uttered once.

26:53.720 --> 26:56.144
Which is why
my job today is much easier

26:56.240 --> 26:57.873
compared to Ved Prakash-ji.

26:59.080 --> 27:01.718
Because building a house of cards
is hard.

27:01.801 --> 27:04.400
While all it takes
is one blow to bring it down.

27:06.880 --> 27:10.440
The prosecution would like to call
Mr. Sunil Chakosi to the stand.

27:11.481 --> 27:12.481
Granted.

27:42.801 --> 27:44.361
(exhales)

27:46.001 --> 27:47.161
What should I call you?

27:48.361 --> 27:50.560
Baapji or Sunil Chakosi?

27:55.600 --> 27:58.196
People treat name,
religion and caste

27:58.296 --> 28:00.356
as a badge of honour.

28:01.841 --> 28:05.080
For me, it's a way
to corrupt the soul.

28:05.321 --> 28:06.400
Just answer the question.

28:06.440 --> 28:09.240
There's no need
to start a sermon every time.

28:10.961 --> 28:11.961
Anyway...

28:12.641 --> 28:15.000
When the police interrogated you

28:15.080 --> 28:17.217
the first time, you had said

28:17.600 --> 28:20.641
that during the time of the crime,
you were meditating.

28:22.521 --> 28:23.720
In seclusion.

28:28.321 --> 28:29.361
It was a lie, right?

28:31.641 --> 28:35.238
When you have all the answers,
why are you asking questions--

28:35.321 --> 28:37.161
Was it a lie or not?

28:39.481 --> 28:43.240
A lie told to protect someone
is not a lie.

28:43.920 --> 28:46.001
You lied to protect yourself.

28:47.121 --> 28:50.361
The godman who preaches
honesty to the world

28:50.760 --> 28:54.001
had to lie
to save his own life.

28:56.080 --> 28:58.841
And when your lie
about being in seclusion was caught,

28:59.161 --> 29:01.440
you invented another lie.

29:02.560 --> 29:05.600
That during the time of the crime,

29:05.961 --> 29:09.120
you were presiding over
the wedding of an illegal immigrant

29:09.160 --> 29:11.201
and were present there
the whole time.

29:13.361 --> 29:14.361
A wedding.

29:15.280 --> 29:17.880
Which means a procession...

29:19.001 --> 29:20.040
full of witnesses.

29:23.600 --> 29:24.920
The perfect alibi.

29:27.121 --> 29:28.746
But this claim of yours
is also a lie.

29:28.846 --> 29:30.080
Objection, Your Honour.

29:30.481 --> 29:31.801
Where's the lie in this?

29:32.814 --> 29:34.294
Hear it for yourself.

29:34.447 --> 29:35.447
Play it.

29:39.961 --> 29:42.400
That day, at that time,

29:44.040 --> 29:47.521
I was with my father.

29:48.841 --> 29:50.880
I am a witness to the fact--

29:51.720 --> 29:52.681
(Bhalerao) Pause.

29:53.400 --> 29:54.521
Rewind it.

29:54.760 --> 29:55.683
Stop, stop.

29:57.001 --> 29:58.121
Ved Prakash-ji.

29:59.801 --> 30:00.681
Play it.

30:00.841 --> 30:02.961
(Kashyap) That day, at that time,

30:04.040 --> 30:07.280
I was with my father.

30:07.481 --> 30:08.516
Pause.

30:09.161 --> 30:10.050
Thank you.

30:10.321 --> 30:11.240
Your Honour...

30:11.481 --> 30:14.680
When Kashyap Chakosi was shown
Ketan's photo,

30:14.720 --> 30:16.251
he couldn't recognise him.

30:17.280 --> 30:19.681
Which means that he wasn't
present at the wedding.

30:25.001 --> 30:27.957
So, as per Kashyap Chakosi...

30:28.149 --> 30:32.280
you were present at the wedding,
but after that, you were with him.

30:33.681 --> 30:35.869
While you claim that you were

30:35.960 --> 30:38.148
at the wedding the whole time.

30:40.961 --> 30:44.841
Are you sure that you were
at the wedding the whole time?

30:49.121 --> 30:51.201
In honour of my late son,

30:51.320 --> 30:54.050
I refuse to answer
this question.

30:54.176 --> 30:56.560
Were you at the wedding
the whole time?

30:58.161 --> 30:59.841
Answer the question, Mr. Chakosi.

31:05.161 --> 31:08.641
Tell us who is lying.
You or Kashyap?

31:15.521 --> 31:17.121
Kashyap lied.

31:25.880 --> 31:29.560
The son who sacrificed his life
to save yours,

31:29.841 --> 31:33.045
now he labels the same son a liar

31:33.160 --> 31:35.240
to save his own life.

31:39.841 --> 31:41.841
Perhaps you need
the Gift of Strength.

31:42.201 --> 31:43.880
(Ved Prakash) Objection, Your Honour.

31:44.080 --> 31:46.080
He's intimidating my client.

31:46.440 --> 31:48.641
He's supposed to ask questions,
not taunt him.

31:49.361 --> 31:52.677
Ved Prakash-ji, he is all-powerful
while I am just an ordinary man.

31:52.760 --> 31:55.280
-How can I intimidate him?
-Objection, Your Honour!

31:55.760 --> 31:57.400
Careful, Mr. Bhalerao.

32:00.400 --> 32:02.961
(dramatic music)

32:08.641 --> 32:10.521
Is this your signature?

32:16.040 --> 32:18.961
Why do I have to repeat every
question 2-3 times, Mr. Chakosi?

32:19.201 --> 32:21.080
Is this your signature or not?

32:25.560 --> 32:27.040
Okay, I'll answer that.

32:27.440 --> 32:28.440
Your Honour...

32:29.481 --> 32:31.880
After examining the reports,
we have found

32:32.161 --> 32:35.400
that Kashyap was, in fact,
telling the truth.

32:41.880 --> 32:44.600
Every villain has a weak link
in their defence.

32:47.400 --> 32:49.321
That is divine justice.

32:52.481 --> 32:55.801
His weak link turned out to be
his son, Kashyap.

32:58.001 --> 33:02.240
That evening, he had signed
a land deal.

33:02.641 --> 33:04.558
Two more people were present there.

33:04.641 --> 33:06.477
One was his son, Kashyap Chakosi.

33:06.560 --> 33:07.878
And the other was

33:07.960 --> 33:11.179
a real estate agent, Naren Katyal.

33:16.161 --> 33:18.020
Saburi's visitors' record also prove

33:18.160 --> 33:20.073
that Naren Katyal
was there that evening.

33:20.360 --> 33:22.759
Objection, Your Honour.
What's the relevance here?

33:23.321 --> 33:25.240
What is the connection,
Mr. Bhalerao?

33:25.961 --> 33:29.801
Your Honour, that day,
between 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.,

33:31.440 --> 33:33.480
if Baapji was only at the wedding,

33:33.903 --> 33:36.001
how could he have
signed these papers?

33:37.321 --> 33:40.001
And if he did sign these papers,

33:40.841 --> 33:43.920
why wasn't it mentioned
in any of his statements until now?

33:47.440 --> 33:51.121
Naren Katyal was one of those
six witnesses who were murdered.

33:53.641 --> 33:56.880
Had he not been killed,
I would've never known about him.

33:59.240 --> 34:01.321
How ironic, isn't it?

34:02.400 --> 34:04.970
That his absence
is speaking louder

34:05.080 --> 34:06.966
than his presence today

34:07.321 --> 34:08.438
to reveal the truth.

34:08.521 --> 34:09.681
Your Honour...

34:10.040 --> 34:12.480
None of this proves that Baapji

34:12.600 --> 34:15.087
was with Meenu in his chamber.

34:15.121 --> 34:16.957
But it does prove

34:17.040 --> 34:20.080
that between 4:15 p.m.
and 7:03 p.m. that evening,

34:20.560 --> 34:23.400
Baapji and Kashyap
met each other.

34:23.560 --> 34:25.001
Shall we agree on this?

34:27.961 --> 34:32.078
Your Honour, the defence has built
their entire case on the argument

34:32.160 --> 34:35.071
that Baapji couldn't have
raped Meenu

34:35.201 --> 34:38.280
because he was at Murshida
Suraiya's wedding at the time.

34:39.440 --> 34:41.637
Your Honour,
we have decisively proven

34:41.720 --> 34:44.598
that this is the third time
Sunil Chakosi has lied to the court.

34:44.681 --> 34:46.558
(shrieks) Shut the hell up!

34:46.641 --> 34:48.560
(spectators murmur)

34:59.720 --> 35:02.321
What do you want to prove
with this absurd nonsense?

35:03.920 --> 35:06.001
That I have Aladdin's lamp?

35:06.681 --> 35:09.521
That I could just rub
and reach her chambers?

35:10.040 --> 35:12.161
Without anyone seeing me? Huh?

35:19.720 --> 35:23.040
These Aladdin's lamps are
what you godmen peddle to the world.

35:24.920 --> 35:26.361
The only difference is

35:27.040 --> 35:30.801
it's the public that rubs it,
but it's your wishes that come true.

35:32.560 --> 35:36.376
Meet me outside.
I'll make your wishes come true.

35:48.161 --> 35:49.521
No more questions.

36:04.080 --> 36:07.197
I know you don't even want
to look at my face...

36:07.453 --> 36:10.134
-Daman--
-Let me finish what I'm saying.

36:14.161 --> 36:17.201
I was shattered
after what had happened.

36:17.321 --> 36:20.040
And I know
you were shattered too.

36:20.841 --> 36:21.761
It's enough, Daman.

36:21.801 --> 36:23.157
I was foolish.

36:23.240 --> 36:25.548
I had no idea that my stupidity

36:25.640 --> 36:27.948
would cost our father's life.

36:32.641 --> 36:36.321
How can I ask you to forgive me
when I haven't forgiven myself?

36:41.920 --> 36:44.040
I realise my mistake.

36:45.001 --> 36:47.438
But it took me some time to realise

36:47.743 --> 36:51.361
that I must face the consequences
of my mistakes.

36:54.880 --> 36:58.840
Staying away from you is
no less than death penalty for me.

37:02.841 --> 37:04.920
I will never meet you after today.

37:05.321 --> 37:07.001
I won't even call you.

37:08.720 --> 37:10.361
But remember one thing.

37:11.280 --> 37:15.080
Your brother's heart
only holds love for you.

37:16.481 --> 37:17.521
Love.

37:43.201 --> 37:44.321
Your Honour...

37:45.040 --> 37:48.400
A 17-year-old girl
held up a mirror to us all.

37:49.240 --> 37:52.060
She showed us how common and cheap

37:52.160 --> 37:54.636
injustice is in our country

37:56.240 --> 37:59.321
and how difficult
and expensive justice is.

38:01.001 --> 38:02.521
Babasaheb used to say,

38:03.400 --> 38:06.920
"Political democracy cannot last

38:08.001 --> 38:11.240
"unless there lies, at the base
of it, social democracy.

38:15.121 --> 38:17.918
"Only equality and justice
can dismantle

38:18.001 --> 38:21.559
"the feudal, patriarchal
and misogynist structures

38:21.640 --> 38:24.258
"of our society."

38:26.400 --> 38:28.480
Your Honour, Meenu's testimony

38:28.555 --> 38:30.400
has not wavered even once.

38:32.400 --> 38:34.806
The defence has failed to find

38:34.880 --> 38:38.040
a single loophole in
Meenu's statement.

38:40.321 --> 38:43.641
It's now time for the court
to hear the truth.

38:56.001 --> 38:57.797
You lying whore!

38:57.880 --> 38:59.878
-How much were you paid?
-(Judge Kurien) Order!

38:59.961 --> 39:02.357
-Order!
-Say, how much money?

39:02.440 --> 39:03.600
Order in my court!

39:04.321 --> 39:06.127
Slut!
Take him out!

39:06.201 --> 39:08.720
-Meet me outside. I'll thrash you!
-Out!

39:25.521 --> 39:28.197
Your Honour, for the record,

39:28.280 --> 39:30.186
this is the 11th time

39:30.800 --> 39:33.560
that Meenu will officially recall
her horror.

39:42.801 --> 39:45.961
(sombre music)

39:54.801 --> 39:56.521
My name is Meenu Rawat.

39:57.121 --> 40:00.920
I was a student of Mahasherni School
at Baapji's Saburi Fort.

40:01.440 --> 40:03.600
And I also stayed
at the school hostel.

40:10.240 --> 40:13.121
That morning, I felt a bit sick.

40:13.841 --> 40:16.240
I felt very dizzy and then fainted.

40:19.681 --> 40:22.361
When I woke up,
I was in a room in the clinic.

40:23.600 --> 40:26.641
I was feeling better
after taking the medicine,

40:27.481 --> 40:31.920
but I wasn't fully conscious.
It felt like I was in a dream.

40:34.001 --> 40:35.841
The door of the room was shut.

40:38.481 --> 40:40.880
Suddenly, Baapji came in.

40:44.440 --> 40:47.201
When I saw him, I felt, as if,
everything's going to be all right.

40:50.440 --> 40:51.320
But...

40:52.801 --> 40:56.400
-(water dripping)
-He came close to me and...

40:59.720 --> 41:00.760
(water dripping)

41:04.841 --> 41:06.920
he stripped off my clothes.

41:09.961 --> 41:11.201
(water dripping)

41:11.801 --> 41:14.841
Then he...

41:18.361 --> 41:19.361
bent down...

41:19.400 --> 41:22.321
-(cries echoing)
-(water dripping)

41:22.841 --> 41:24.321
and...

41:26.641 --> 41:29.361
(crying intensifies)

41:29.961 --> 41:30.961
he put his...

41:33.161 --> 41:34.361
finger...

41:35.760 --> 41:40.321
inside me... for 15 minutes.

41:40.361 --> 41:41.561
(Baapji chanting)

41:46.121 --> 41:47.920
After he was done,

41:48.681 --> 41:50.440
he bathed me

41:52.521 --> 41:55.280
and told me that he has
granted me the Gift of Strength.

42:00.121 --> 42:01.961
(water dripping)

42:02.720 --> 42:04.238
He then gave me a mantra

42:04.321 --> 42:08.280
and said that I'll find strength
if I chant it over and over.

42:09.080 --> 42:10.758
From body to body,

42:10.841 --> 42:12.841
atom to the universe wide,

42:13.240 --> 42:15.001
let power flow, far and wide.

42:15.400 --> 42:18.197
Guru is devotion, Guru is grace.

42:18.280 --> 42:20.880
May Guru fill the entire space.

42:33.641 --> 42:35.440
Mr. Ved Prakash.

42:45.080 --> 42:46.961
I've said it 11 times already.

42:51.920 --> 42:53.481
Still nobody is listening.

42:56.920 --> 43:00.201
Ten years, I worshipped this man
like he is God.

43:00.521 --> 43:02.797
My parents worshipped him
like he is God.

43:02.880 --> 43:06.600
We thought he would fix
all our life's troubles.

43:08.841 --> 43:10.600
But what did he do instead?

43:11.961 --> 43:13.841
(emotional music)

43:14.280 --> 43:16.681
He believes he gave me
a Gift of Strength.

43:26.280 --> 43:28.280
I was 17 years old.

43:30.440 --> 43:31.801
Seventeen.

43:37.720 --> 43:39.878
It shouldn't have happened to me.

43:39.961 --> 43:41.961
But it did happen to me.

43:46.641 --> 43:49.238
And I shouldn't have to
tell anyone again and again

43:49.321 --> 43:52.681
who touched me where
and for how long was I touched.

43:52.880 --> 43:54.718
How many fingers was it?
One or two?

43:54.801 --> 43:57.398
Was it for 15 minutes?
Or 15 minutes and 4 seconds?

43:57.481 --> 43:59.201
Why should I tell anyone?

44:01.961 --> 44:03.878
Every single day,
a hundred times,

44:03.961 --> 44:05.481
a thousand times over,

44:05.880 --> 44:08.637
I tell the same people
that I was raped.

44:08.720 --> 44:10.598
I was raped. Please listen to me.

44:10.681 --> 44:12.521
But has everyone gone deaf?

44:18.521 --> 44:20.150
Every morning, I wake up

44:20.240 --> 44:22.547
feeling like I've lost
some kind of game.

44:23.961 --> 44:25.357
Every day I keep repeating,

44:25.440 --> 44:28.718
"Listen to me.
Listen to what I have to say."

44:28.801 --> 44:30.801
Why should I keep repeating this
to anyone?

44:34.481 --> 44:37.118
Behind closed doors,
he commits a crime,

44:37.201 --> 44:40.040
but I should be the one
answering everyone's questions.

44:46.841 --> 44:50.760
I have to cover my face
when I step out. I can't go out.

44:53.720 --> 44:56.560
And everyone still calls him God.

45:02.280 --> 45:04.280
I'm fighting for myself.

45:04.801 --> 45:07.001
Fighting for what happened to me.

45:09.201 --> 45:13.078
God willing, if some other woman
who went through all this

45:13.161 --> 45:16.641
wants to come forward and speak up,
then it's great. But it's not on me.

45:17.481 --> 45:19.681
It shouldn't be
a burden on my heart.

45:20.880 --> 45:22.878
The burden of stepping out
of the house,

45:22.961 --> 45:26.477
the burden that someone
will kill me if I do,

45:26.560 --> 45:27.677
it shouldn't be on me.

45:27.760 --> 45:30.278
Running to the court, again and again,
shouldn't be my burden.

45:30.361 --> 45:34.641
My mother cries, my father cries.
What do I tell them?

45:39.400 --> 45:42.718
In front of the whole world,
I am the one begging for his apology.

45:42.801 --> 45:44.264
When he should be crawling

45:44.360 --> 45:46.589
on his knees,
begging for my forgiveness.

45:46.600 --> 45:48.201
Why is that not happening?

46:03.641 --> 46:04.760
And now...

46:05.481 --> 46:07.880
I have nothing more to say.
I just hope...

46:08.521 --> 46:10.920
that the court will side with justice.
That's all.

46:17.961 --> 46:20.001
Mr. Ved Prakash.

46:55.801 --> 46:57.720
I have no questions, Your Honour.

47:18.321 --> 47:22.080
(emotional music rises)

47:25.600 --> 47:28.040
(water dripping)

47:29.521 --> 47:31.201
(water dripping incessantly)

47:44.841 --> 47:45.720
(silence)

47:48.400 --> 47:52.201
(triumphant music)

48:11.801 --> 48:13.600
(Meenu) You should go home and rest.

48:14.641 --> 48:15.961
We're all good.

48:17.440 --> 48:18.720
I know.

48:19.080 --> 48:20.641
I just dropped by casually.

48:32.961 --> 48:34.161
What do you think...

48:35.240 --> 48:36.841
will be the verdict tomorrow?

48:38.080 --> 48:39.920
I hope that the truth wins.

48:48.121 --> 48:50.841
Honestly, it doesn't matter anymore
if I win or lose.

48:55.920 --> 48:57.240
Can I ask you something?

48:57.801 --> 48:58.666
Hmm?

48:58.760 --> 49:00.241
You won't mind?

49:03.321 --> 49:05.560
Why do you never go back home?

49:14.121 --> 49:16.920
Sometimes it feels like
even you have been...

49:17.961 --> 49:20.720
running away from something
these past three years.

49:25.560 --> 49:26.560
Honestly...

49:31.001 --> 49:32.920
I'm afraid
of going back home.

49:39.201 --> 49:41.600
We can't live our whole lives
in fear.

51:25.001 --> 51:26.400
Bhalerao...

51:28.121 --> 51:31.121
I had the privilege
of meeting your father once.

51:32.560 --> 51:34.201
He would've been very proud of you.

51:36.521 --> 51:38.440
Regardless of
whether you win or lose,

51:39.560 --> 51:40.720
you did good.

52:44.001 --> 52:47.201
Will the defence and the prosecution
please stand up?

53:00.240 --> 53:02.321
Before I declare the verdict,

53:03.240 --> 53:05.549
it is necessary to explain

53:05.640 --> 53:08.307
how I arrived at this verdict.

53:10.121 --> 53:12.309
This matter involves

53:12.400 --> 53:14.588
a public personality.

53:17.161 --> 53:19.846
So, it's natural
that the verdict

53:19.960 --> 53:21.970
will affect the public.

53:22.920 --> 53:25.091
Although it's common knowledge,

53:25.200 --> 53:28.005
I would still like to
remind the public that,

53:29.720 --> 53:33.841
for other crimes,
the principle of law is

53:34.280 --> 53:36.641
"innocent until proven guilty."

53:38.760 --> 53:41.957
But as per the POCSO Act,

53:42.040 --> 53:44.758
in order to empower the victim,

53:44.841 --> 53:47.420
the responsibility to prove

53:48.880 --> 53:50.400
their innocence
lies with the defence.

53:52.001 --> 53:54.161
The court believes

53:54.600 --> 53:56.438
that to prove

53:56.560 --> 54:00.818
Mr. Sunil Chakosi's innocence,

54:01.080 --> 54:04.080
the evidence presented
by the defence

54:04.641 --> 54:05.920
was not enough.

54:08.720 --> 54:11.785
Neither their conspiracy theories

54:11.880 --> 54:13.311
were credible,

54:14.201 --> 54:16.841
nor their alibis.

54:19.080 --> 54:21.093
Mr. Sunil Chakosi

54:21.586 --> 54:23.886
kept changing his statement.

54:24.354 --> 54:27.191
When he was caught in one lie,

54:27.840 --> 54:30.480
he covered it up
with another lie.

54:31.400 --> 54:34.240
On the other hand,
the prosecution

54:34.920 --> 54:38.801
proved their truth
by supporting it with another truth.

54:40.321 --> 54:44.118
Even after repeating it
so many times,

54:44.201 --> 54:48.833
the victim didn't change
her statement even a little bit.

54:53.400 --> 54:57.080
Throughout the trial, the defence

54:58.560 --> 55:01.506
kept reiterating
that Mr. Sunil Chakosi

55:01.720 --> 55:04.390
was present at the wedding that day.

55:06.600 --> 55:09.637
But the prosecution
was also able to prove here

55:09.720 --> 55:12.276
that Mr. Chakosi did, in fact,

55:12.360 --> 55:14.660
leave the wedding that day.

55:17.720 --> 55:20.321
The court believes

55:22.280 --> 55:26.001
that Mr. Sunil Chakosi
visited the room that day.

55:28.321 --> 55:30.720
And he did, in fact, rape Meenu.

55:35.240 --> 55:38.479
Afterwards, he bathed her

55:38.560 --> 55:41.018
with his own hands,

55:43.240 --> 55:45.321
destroying all the evidence.

55:48.400 --> 55:52.201
This wasn't the biggest crime
committed by Mr. Sunil Chakosi.

55:54.961 --> 55:57.961
The biggest crime was

55:58.121 --> 56:01.161
what he did to Amrita
and many other girls.

56:03.400 --> 56:05.601
To manipulate them to an extent

56:05.680 --> 56:08.216
that they were
brainwashed to believe

56:09.121 --> 56:12.720
that what is happening with them
is completely fine

56:13.841 --> 56:15.641
and there's nothing wrong with it.

56:21.121 --> 56:25.201
To convince someone that
sexually assaulting them is okay

56:25.600 --> 56:28.677
is graver than
the sexual assault itself.

56:28.760 --> 56:31.720
(music rising)

56:32.760 --> 56:36.246
In the matter of
State of Madhya Pradesh

56:36.320 --> 56:38.371
vs. Mr. Sunil Chakosi,

56:44.841 --> 56:48.880
the court finds Mr. Chakosi,
on all counts...

56:56.080 --> 56:57.560
guilty.

57:00.521 --> 57:03.560
(triumphant music)

57:19.201 --> 57:21.121
-(gavel strikes)
-(notification pings)

57:24.040 --> 57:24.961
Guilty...

57:25.161 --> 57:27.078
Guilty! He's guilty!

57:27.161 --> 57:29.161
(crowd erupts in celebration)

57:31.040 --> 57:32.841
Guilty!

57:35.801 --> 57:37.481
(crowd clapping)

57:45.481 --> 57:47.681
(music rising)

58:14.361 --> 58:16.398
Mr. Sunil Chakosi...

58:16.481 --> 58:20.081
under Section 354, Section 376,

58:20.200 --> 58:23.835
and Section 509/34 is held guilty.

58:25.161 --> 58:28.201
The court sentences him
to life imprisonment.

58:29.121 --> 58:30.295
He will spend

58:30.360 --> 58:33.722
the rest of his natural life
in jail.

58:34.080 --> 58:35.644
Your Honour, may I request the court

58:35.760 --> 58:37.640
to consider my client's age
and ill-health.

58:37.720 --> 58:38.600
(gavel strikes)

58:40.843 --> 58:43.278
-(Judge Kurien) Section 376.
-(gavel strikes)

58:43.361 --> 58:45.400
-Section 376(2)(f).
-(gavel strikes)

58:45.641 --> 58:48.201
And Section 120B
of Indian Penal Code.

58:48.681 --> 58:49.760
(gavel strikes)

58:49.961 --> 58:51.278
Under Sections 7 and 8

58:51.361 --> 58:54.440
of the Protection of Children
from Sexual Offences Act

58:54.920 --> 58:59.121
and Section 75
of the Juvenile Justice Act,

59:02.121 --> 59:05.761
the court sentences
Mr. Sunil Chakosi

59:05.840 --> 59:08.426
to a double life sentence.

59:11.361 --> 59:14.280
(Baapji sobs)

59:42.600 --> 59:45.361
(cheers erupt)

01:00:37.040 --> 01:00:39.841
(Amitabh) He has the answers
to all questions.

01:00:40.961 --> 01:00:42.961
He is god amongst men.

01:00:43.600 --> 01:00:46.434
Doctor, therapist, scientist...

01:00:46.560 --> 01:00:48.880
all rolled into one man.

01:00:54.240 --> 01:00:56.080
They teach us how to live.

01:00:56.961 --> 01:00:59.841
And how to embrace death.

01:01:04.481 --> 01:01:06.681
Our weakness is their strength.

01:01:07.240 --> 01:01:09.481
Our fear their courage.

01:01:10.040 --> 01:01:12.961
And our insecurities
their livelihood.

01:01:20.040 --> 01:01:21.720
They teach us how to forgive.

01:01:24.161 --> 01:01:26.278
These self-proclaimed nature lovers

01:01:26.361 --> 01:01:30.161
don't live under the shade of trees
but under the protection of power.

01:01:33.001 --> 01:01:34.361
God resides in our hearts,

01:01:34.920 --> 01:01:36.121
resides in temples.

01:01:38.040 --> 01:01:41.201
He never asks for anything,
only gives.

01:01:43.001 --> 01:01:45.321
But they demand your everything.

01:01:46.481 --> 01:01:48.600
They use your faith as a weapon

01:01:49.040 --> 01:01:51.481
to build an army of blind followers.

01:01:53.001 --> 01:01:55.720
First, their followers
see them as invincible.

01:01:56.161 --> 01:01:57.640
Then they begin
to see themselves

01:01:57.680 --> 01:01:58.880
as immortal and invincible.

01:02:00.321 --> 01:02:04.280
But no matter how hard a man tries,
he cannot become God.

01:02:05.161 --> 01:02:10.161
Eventually, a storm comes
and uproots them entirely.

01:02:12.760 --> 01:02:14.600
I could be that storm.

01:02:16.361 --> 01:02:17.641
You could be that storm.

01:02:21.161 --> 01:02:23.681
Or a 17-year-old girl.

01:02:29.880 --> 01:02:33.440
In every storm,
a small plant often survives

01:02:34.760 --> 01:02:37.681
and starts preparing
to become a tree.

01:02:42.161 --> 01:02:44.560
The wheel of nature
starts spinning again.

01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:48.440
People again start offering
their everything to that plant.

01:02:49.001 --> 01:02:51.201
And again, a new storm hits.

01:02:52.121 --> 01:02:53.280
(devotees chant and cheer)

01:02:54.641 --> 01:02:57.481
This is divine justice.
