[Donkey hee-haw]
- Jai hind. - Jai hind, sir.
What is your name?
Shaukat Ali.
- Hello. - Hello.
Whose son is Nawaz?
Nawaz...
[Donkeys - bray]
Sir...
I am so sorry.
My government is with you.
- Yes, sir. - Don't worry.
- Okay. - I'll see what I can do.
Okay, sir.
What is this?
Why did it take you so long to file the FIR?
[Suspenseful music]
[Dramatic music]
[Breathing heavily]
[Dramatic music]
[Dynamic music]
[Laugh]
There is a saying in English, Gauri Babu.
Yeah?
A cat has nine lives.
I think this is your tenth life.
I am a survivor.
People don't call me the 'Black Cobra' for nothing.
I always manage to slither my way out through some
or the other hole.
I can see that.
Bheema's wife got his killer out of jail quietly.
Great.
[Poignant music]
What's the deal with Rani?
[Laugh]
There has been no deal.
I watered the plants in the jail.
I planted trees.
I sang hymns.
She saw that this old man was harmless.
And that I had improved my conduct too.
So she let me go.
[Footsteps]
Don't assume I am still the Som from BHU
whom you'll get to run your errands again as a junior.
[Donkeys - bray]
I am the home minister.
[Dramatic music]
[Birds chirping]
Don't force me to be a mongoose.
Tell me. Why did Rani let you go?
Speak up
She is stupid.
She asked me
if I would spy on you.
And I agreed instantly.
Little does she know
that we go back a long way.
Why did you go to my bungalow in Delhi?
And when you found out that I was in Kashmir
you landed up here in this old age.
Rani should feel that I am spying on you, right?
It's true.
I have followed you here.
But not to tip Rani off about you.
Rather to tip you and Joshi Saheb off about Rani.
The home ministry is with me.
Gauri Babu,
what tip are you going to give me that I don't already know?
Do you know how many of my men are around Rani?
Do you have any idea how many of Rani's men are around you?
[Dramatic music]
And who they are?
[Donkeys - bray]
[Title music]
[Horn honking]
[Clock's ticking]
Go through this one last file.
What file is this?
It is from the coal ministry.
So why have you brought it to me?
Sir,
among the applications of the companies the screening committee
has received for the allocations of the coal mines
is that of the Akshanta Group too.
Akshanta Group?
The company owned by Rishi Agarwal from Ranchi.
Do we receive regular donations from him?
He gives donations to every party.
But that's not the issue.
What is it then?
The honorary director of this company is
Jaiprakash Bharti.
[Chuckles]
[Poignant music]
[Pages turning]
Poor boy.
He didn't get the crown.
So he deserves the ash from coal mines at least.
He should get something.
He is Rani Bharti's son.
Only if he enters this line of business
will he ruin his reputation.
Right?
Absolutely.
Should I inform the minister then?
Should I approve it?
[Pen clicking]
Kaveri is a member of the parliament's public accounts committee.
Yes.
So this file will pass through her hands too.
Tell Rishi that if Kaveriji recommends him,
he can get the contract.
Understood, sir.
What?
Deliver a velvet coated kick.
[Laugh]
That's your speciality, Muradji.
But I have learnt it from you, sir.
[Laughing]
Don't stop learning.
Yes.
See you.
[Suspenseful music]
[Police siren]
[Traditional Music]
[Drums playing sound]
[Traditional Music]
Look what I got for you, Anna.
This is Malda mango.
And this is Bumbaiya.
This is Jardaalu.
Hmm.
So Raniji
has come all the way to Tamil Nadu just to give me mangoes, huh?
[Chuckles]
Anna,
when you skipped
Roshni's oath taking ceremony
Then I thought of coming here to meet you.
[Chuckles]
May I say something?
Don't be afraid of Joshi.
Fight him.
Hmm.
[Bangles chime]
Anna,
join my alliance.
We can together take
control of Delhi.
[Suspenseful music]
I want to get Joshi in line too.
But my people are very sensitive.
They'll ask.
If Anna is not the PM candidate
then why did he join Raniji's alliance.
Many of them will commit suicide.
I am standing in the temple of your ancestral deity.
That's why I won't lie.
I know two things.
First
is that together, we can defeat Joshi at the polls.
And second
that no one is more experienced or better suited than you
for the position of the PM.
[Laugh]
[Suspenseful music]
I had told you not to bow down to their demands.
I increased the family commission from 10 to 20 percent at your behest.
What is the result?
Along with Sunderraja, I will lose the project too.
Nachi.
Mom.
Watch your tone.
He's...
He's like your father.
[Birds chirping]
[Footsteps]
I told you not to get involved in his business deals.
It might go against you.
Who is going to help him if not me?
[Dramatic music]
Let's not mix
two things here... Gayatri.
I had the worst
Podi Dosa in Chennai.
It was so damn salty.
[Laughing]
But I still praised it.
We had discussed everything.
And now he is double crossing me.
There is no point in trusting politicians in this country.
[Dramatic music]
He is playing dirty politics.
Not he.
She.
Rani Bharti is playing dirty politics.
If she can play dirty politics, so can you.
[Dramatic music]
[Crickets chirping]
[TV playing song]
[Car door close]
Lovely, Kaveriji.
[Happily]
I could smell your Kuttu curry even at the gate.
I am sorry. I am late. This is for you.
It's not even 11 yet.
For you, 11 pm in Delhi feels like morning, right?
[Laugh]
It must be morning in New York right now.
- New York? - Yes.
Why New York?
I heard you are going to New York next week.
What?
Next week.
New York?
United Nations special session.
The PM wants you to head the Indian delegation.
[Intense music]
Congratulations.
Shall we celebrate?
I don't know what you are talking about, Muradji.
And frankly,
even if that's the case,
I will need to discuss this with my party.
I don't have to tell you about the relationship
my party shares with the government.
Kaveriji,
this is not about a party or the government.
This is about India.
[Dynamic music]
Shall we?
[Laugh]
[Pouring drink]
[Bottles clanking]
I called aunt Kaveri.
She said things are not well between her and the centre.
So she can't recommend Rishi's name for the coal mines.
[Water splashing]
But what about when she got a gas station
allotted to her uncle at Kozhikode?
She wrote three letters
to the petroleum minister.
Were things between her and the central government better then?
I am a businessman.
I need to keep my eyes everywhere.
I don't particularly regret not getting the coal mines.
She overlooked your word.
I didn't like that.
[Intense music]
May I say something?
You and Rani aunty
have been overlooking a lot of things.
Keep an eye on Kaveriji.
She is playing a double game in Delhi.
Double game?
She is playing both sides.
[Dynamic music]
Prime minister's decision to send the opposition leader Kaveri Shridharan
to the UN as the head of the all-party delegation has been widely appreciated.
So let's listen in to the PM's reaction on this.
We are opponents within our country.
[Camera click]
But outside the country, we are only Indians
[Birds chirping]
I expect this delegation to present India's stance very strongly
at the UN under Kaveriji's leadership.
Nice.
[Crowd chattering]
Kaveri deserved it on her merit.
Here you go.
Thank you.
When it comes to merit,
you should've received the Bharat Ratna.
The Maheshwari Commission wouldn't have come down on you
so hard if that was the case.
Where have you been all these days?
Hmm?
Firstly, you have showed up after so many days
and you have started talking rubbish already.
[Chair rustles]
Mom,
you are the world's most naïve woman.
[Vreathing heavily]
You trust people blindly.
As per the information I have, aunt Kaveri...
What is the word in English?
[Wind Chime]
Sister.
What?
Compromised.
Aunt Kaveri has been compromised.
She has been what?
She has joined hands with our foes in Delhi.
Jai.
[Intense music]
Aunt Kaveri and I have our differences.
But that doesn't mean
that I will tolerate any kind of rubbish against her.
She has done a lot for me.
She left her home. She lost her job because of me.
- You.... - She has been to jail.
She stood by you during difficult times.
[Chair rustles]
[Footsteps]
mom, how many times are you going to keep repeating this?
Haven't you done anything for her?
You made her the member of parliament.
You made her the party leader.
[Plates clinked]
It's better you stay away.
You have told me this.
Don't tell anyone this outside.
Or people will say
that you have started to do drugs even during the day.
Here.
Take it.
[Spoon clattered]
But mom,
aunt Kaveri going to the UN despite PM Joshi's objection
will obviously raise doubts?
She is going there as the nation's representative
and not as Joshi's representative.
And it's not like this has never happened before.
Didn't Pandit Nehru send Atalji
to the UN despite him being a member of the opposition?
You told me this.
So then?
Okay.
Tell me something.
Both you and aunt Kaveri
were the accused in the Maheshwari commission.
So why was the arrest warrant issued only against you?
[Intense music]
[Poignant music]
[People clapping]
Now the people of Sukhpur are also a part of this journey of Khoincha Bank.
I hope Khoincha bank makes all of you self-reliant.
[Camera clicking]
And stands by you through thick and thin.
[People clapping]
Long live Roshni Bharti!
[Camera click]
[Indistinct chatter]
[Gentle music]
Do you remember
[Laugh]
the time when you came up with this idea of the Khoincha bank?
Little did we know that Khoincha Bank would be this successful one day.
[Birds chirping]
I will most definitely tell the world about this initiative of yours at the UN.
Kaveri...
Hmm.
I don't want you to go the UN.
[Dramatic music]
Why?
That I don't know.
But my heart says
that you should not go.
[Poignant music]
It's not an order.
It is an advice.
I would have liked it madam
had you ordered me like before.
Or if you had shared everything with me.
Which you don't anymore.
I do a million things.
If I keep telling or asking you about every single thing I do
it will take an entire lifetime.
Certain decisions are not easy.
But you have to take them.
[Dramatic music]
Madam,
I have seen you go through really bad times.
But I never found you this helpless.
If even Rani Bharti says that you have to make decisions
then it is safe to assume
that the differences between Rani Bharti
and the rest are blurring.
[Suspenseful music]
Kaveri,
I sent you to Delhi from Patna.
Not far away from me.
Don't let them manipulate you.
Do not go to the UN.
[Dramatic music]
[Birds chirping]
[Waves crashing]
What?
You didn't call
or inform me.
You just landed up here.
Why are you sulking?
Did you lose crores in the stock market?
[Waves crashing]
How will I invest
in the stock market if there is no company left?
What do you mean?
We have been served a notice by the Bihar government.
Asking Akshanta company to stop the Bheemapath project immediately.
[Suspenseful music]
That's not it.
All the government tenders of Akshanta group,
Danapool bridge
Bakhtiyaarpur IT zone
and Gaya expressway.
All have been cancelled.
[Intense music]
[Paper rustling]
It's Kaveri in Delhi.
And here it's your sister Roshni.
How will I fund the parties
if my company goes under?
[Intense music]
[Dramatic music]
[Car break screeches]
[Dramatic music]
Send a letter again if we are not getting any response from the office.
- Because it is mentioned here that 20%... - [Door opens]
mom has never stopped any of my projects.
And it's been just two months you became the CM.
You got all my tenders cancelled.
[Clock's ticking]
[Chair rustles]
Sit.
I haven't come here to sit.
There are discrepancies in the accounts of the Akshanta Group.
Joshi is lying in wait.
We need to be extra careful.
You are a board member in Rishi's company.
Resign from that position.
Akshanta Group could spell trouble for us.
I am not the signing authority in Rishi's company.
So how can we get into trouble?
Everyone targets Rishi only because he is my friend.
He stood by me even while he was facing loses.
And you want me to abandon him.
Sister.
Were you always this sly, or did it start after you became the CM?
Jai.
Do you think
we win elections only because of mother's image?
You need funds to run the party.
You need funds to win the elections.
And Rishi and I arrange these funds.
Without Rishi's support,
you wouldn't have been the CM.
Uncle Mishra would've been the CM
and you would've been the child and women welfare minister.
[Clock's ticking]
[Exhales deeply]
[Chair rustles]
Sometimes you remind me of papa.
Even papa could never differentiate between politics and business just like you.
Hope you remember the fate papa met with, Jai?
Don't repeat that mistake.
And you remind me of mother.
Chasing power, mother too forgot the difference between
her own people and outsiders.
She sent papa to jail.
You do not repeat that mistake.
Don't shoot yourself in the foot.
Got it?
[Intense music]
How did this rascal get out of jail?
Rani's order.
Nowadays, I don't understand her, sir.
She used to always discuss with us before taking any major decision.
Now she says she can't discuss everything she does.
The other day she told me not to go to the UN.
[Chuckles]
[Birds chirping]
Is she doubting my loyalty, sir?
Maybe.
I am convinced about one thing.
Rani puts her family before Bihar
or the party or all of us.
She made Roshni the CM overruling the majority.
Why?
Because it pertained to her family.
Now she is side-lining you because of your growing influence in Delhi.
Because you are not the family.
Sir,
what would you have done if you were in my shoes?
[Birds chirping]
The Goddess' offering for you.
[Crow cawing]
What about the offering I sent you for, Gauri Babu?
Are you with me?
Yes.
What did Somshekhar say?
He was
flabbergasted to see me in Kashmir.
He said.
"What do you want?"
"How can I help you?"
I did what you explained me to do.
I said.
"I will work for your party in Bihar."
What was his response?
[Suspenseful music]
He said he doesn't need me.
He has already found an ally.
In Kaveri.
[Intense music]
She is going
to the UN despite you telling her not to.
[Poignant music]
[Bangles chime]
Before they pick your party apart...
I know what I need to do.
[Intense music]
[Footsteps]
[Sombre music]
