Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Pawan sir
JHAMLI POLICE
Happy birthday to you
Come, sir. Blow out the candles.
Time flies, sir. You turned 40 even before I realized it.
If you don't mind, can I ask you something?
Tell us, how does it feel to be 40, Pawan sir?
Why are you so obsessed with my age?
You can't run a lap around the field
without running out of breath in just a few minutes.
Even at 40, I can still do 100 meters in 13.5 seconds.
-How much? -13.5 seconds.
13.5 seconds.
That's why I'm your biggest fan, sir.
In fact, I'm sure, you weren't born, but descended from heaven 40 years ago.
Only gods descend from heaven. Ordinary people like you and me don't.
I was born like you. The doctor got paid for it,
my mother got stitches and the villagers got a treat.
Stop grinning like a fool.
No, no, sir, I think that you are a very smart man.
You learned the ways of the world when you were born.
If Abhimanyu could learn warfare while in his mother's womb,
then why can I not be born with such sense and insight?
What wisdom.
I can't predict the future, but I know you well enough to say
that you'll surely break past whatever stands in your way.
Sir, you're just like Abhimanyu.
Well, I don't have a great father like Abhimanyu did.
Yeah, you are right.
Can we leave the Mahabharat aside for today?
Now, pick up your sword, and attack your cake. Come on.
Happy birthday, sir! Happy birthday!
-Make sure everyone gets a piece of cake. -Here, sir. I bought this for you.
Please accept this on behalf of everyone at Jhamli police station.
White shoes and you are a match made in heaven, just perfect.
Like melted butter on hot toast, you simply can't stop at one, right?
So these shoes are just another way of buttering me up, huh?
Force of habit, sir. I'm just a fan.
I have two bottles of booze, go get them here.
No drinking till your shift's over.
What do you mean? Won't you stay for a drink?
Ashok.
The thing is, you can live your life.
But I'm answerable to someone.
-Yes, tell me. -What are you waiting for?
Keep one bottle aside for me.
-Happy birthday. -It wasn't happy until now.
But your voice has made it a happy one. Thank you.
You better not fill up on cake at work. I've made something special for you.
Better save some for me.
I'll have it later.
Papa was looking for you.
You know what he's like.
Gets worked up for nothing.
You don't worry, it'll pass.
-Say the word and I'll come to you. -Please come soon.
Please don't say "please".
You better keep my gift ready. I'll be home as soon as I'm off duty.
-Okay-- -Wish Pawan a happy birthday for me.
Huh? Have you lost your voice suddenly? Wish your brother yourself.
Deepak.
-Hey, Ashok. -Yeah, yeah, tell me, sir.
-What time is the train arriving? -I'm sure it'll be here soon.
"Soon" isn't a time! You genius!
Wow, that was a bullseye, sir.
This lady picked the wrong day to come here.
Huh?
Come, sir. Here's the coach.
Hello, ma'am. Welcome to the humble town of Jhamli.
I'm Pawan, Inspector-in-charge, Jhamli Police.
I'm responsible for your security here.
Pawan sir,
how qualified does one need to be to become a journalist?
You can study all you want, but you won't make it.
Oh, no!
You underestimate me just like my family.
We'll go to Anand Bhoomi first thing tomorrow.
-Hmm. -If they allow us in, that's great.
-Hmm. -If not, we'll work out a Plan B.
Who the hell are these guys?
I have no idea.
What are they up to?
-Ashok! Take them down! -Yes, sir!
Ashok sir!
Sir, are you okay?
He's been injured!
Ashok sir!
Come on, come on! We're calling the ambulance. Careful!
Maybe you should sit. Sir, sit here. Be careful.
-Sir. -Sir!
Who is he?
Move back! Move back!
The Jhamli police has yet to issue a statement
on the brutal murder of senior journalist Reema Dutta.
According to sources, Reema Dutta had been investigating
the disappearance of minor boys from Anand Shri's ashram last year.
She even made allegations against Anand Shri…
Sir.
Your shoes.
May I come in?
What have you gone and done?
-They came out of nowhere. -Not your fault at all.
They should've taken your permission before attacking. Right?
Sorry.
The dead don't care you're sorry. It won't bring them back.
The national media is in Jhamli.
When my seniors start asking me questions, which they will,
what do I say?
Tell me.
But we managed to kill one shooter on the spot, sir.
One of our men was injured in the crossfire.
That's exactly the problem.
You were sent to protect one person, and you failed at it.
Plus you got your own man shot.
And trust me, the media knows very well
how cops get injured.
-Sir. -Hmm?
-Here. Take this. -What's this?
It's my obituary.
You coming to my funeral?
You're getting suspended, Inspector Pawan.
Please don't do this, sir.
You know me well. I tried my best to protect her.
You don't wear the uniform to "try your best".
-Okay, then let me handle this. -What will you handle now? Hmm?
You've ruined our reputation. Mine and the department's.
If I'm the one who ruined our reputation, then it's my duty to fix it.
The chargesheet will be on your desk within seven days.
And if it's not, I'll come and collect the suspension order myself.
You think you can walk into my house without my permission?
And on top of that, you're raising your voice at me?
If you don't keep your cow tied up, she'll wander into someone else's field.
Your sister has run away, and you've come looking for my son?
-What's going on? -It's nothing. You go inside.
Sir, it's not nothing! This is a serious matter.
When the truth comes out, things will get out of hand.
-But what's wrong? -Where's your brother, Deepak?
What do you mean?
Your dear brother has run off with my sister, Preeti.
-What? -I'm giving it to you straight.
If my sister is not back home within 24 hours, I'll go to the village council.
If that happens, you'll never see your swine of a brother again.
Enough! You better watch your mouth.
And don't threaten me with the village council.
Don't forget, most villages around here answer to us.
If you are wrong about this,
you won't be able to show your face around here again.
And what happens if I'm right?
Then no more talking, we settle it the old way.
-Come on, let's go. -Let's go.
One brother runs off and the other runs his mouth.
What a birthday I'm having.
Since when is he missing?
He wasn't there for breakfast.
He may have left last night.
His phone is also switched off.
Any close friends?
Kaneja is his closest friend.
But I don't have his number.
I spend all my energy taking care of Jhamli,
and then I come home to this.
At least the government pays me to deal with criminals.
But this I handle for free.
-Happy birthday, Papa. -Hey!
Now don't tell me you've also brought me white sneakers.
Why is everyone always getting me shoes?
White shoes are your favorite, right?
Thank you.
I could probably open a shoe shop at this point.
Happy birthday.
Just say "birthday", my love.
It's not happy right now.
I'll be back.
I'm going to find that idiot.
-Listen, where's Kaneja's house? -It's the last one.
Kaneja!
Hey, Kaneja!
Yes, what happened?
Are you Kaneja?
I am Kaneja. What's wrong?
I'm looking for Deepak's friend, Kaneja.
Good evening, sir.
Kaneja?
Where's Deepak?
Deepak? He must be at home. Where else would he be?
Why didn't I think of that? He's not at home.
I met him in college yesterday. I haven't seen him since.
-Any idea where he could be? -Not really.
Actually, our exams are coming up.
Maybe he's studying with another friend.
I'm sure he's studying to become an officer.
Explains why he flunked four papers last year.
And this year's already a lost cause.
You waiting for a hug now?
-No, sir. -Then get lost.
-One more thing. -Yes, sir?
Who is this Preeti?
-Speak up. -She's…
Actually, she's in college with all of us.
-Are she and Deepak friends? -No, they're not.
-Is she your friend? -Of course not.
Go.
-Joy to all! -Joy to all!
SEEK JOY WITHIN YOURSELF
Smile, my friends!
The time has come to get rid of your sorrows.
What are you searching for?
Do you know what you want in life?
Do you want a house?
Do you want a car?
Do you want love?
Do you want lots of money?
Do you want fame?
And what will you get from all this?
Joy!
Joy… is within you!
You're surrounded by it.
My friends, it's in front of you.
-Harpal! -Coming!
-Joy to all! -Joy to all!
Joy to all!
-Joy to all! -Joy to all!
Come here, my rockstar!
Oh, come on, don't be shy.
I had no idea that you had such a great aim!
You really impressed us all, Harpal.
-Did Anand Shri say something? -Oh, Anand Shri is very happy with you.
In fact, he's never been prouder.
He said, "Our Harpal deserves a special reward".
You know, at first, I was going to send these goons to you.
But Anand Shri insisted. He said to me, "No.
Nirmal, I want you to go and give Harpal his reward yourself".
Do you know what the reward is? Shall I tell you?
I know what it is.
Huh? You know? Oh, you're pretty smart too, huh?
Come on, tell me.
Just a minute.
-Don't let him go! -Hey, stop him!
He's getting away! Don't let him get away!
-He's running! Get him! -That way! He's climbing up!
Back up!
Don't let him get away!
Go get him!
I can't see him!
Hey! You go from there!
Pawan sir.
Why did you take up this case?
The suspension was only for a few days.
-But why should I have agreed to it? -Think about it.
No!
Fine then, go be a hero.
People will chew you up and spit you out when they are done.
Pawan sir.
-You look a little worried today. -Deepak's been missing since yesterday.
Who, our Deepak?
And his phone is switched off.
Can you put your guys on it?
-Find out more. -What's wrong with you?
Your own house is on fire and you're out saving the world?
I'll look into it. Please don't worry.
The bullet barely grazed your arm. Report back to work tomorrow.
Why wait? Let me resume today itself.
Listen to me, Harihar. You are a senior member of this council.
You are respected. You have a reputation.
Once you've thought about how you want to handle this, just let me know.
First things first.
None of his men have set foot in my home before.
If my son, Deepak, is with their girl,
then there is no coming back to the village.
But until we are absolutely sure about what really happened,
no one from their side will cross my threshold.
If that's the case, promise us one thing, you'll stand by your word.
A child who turns his back on his parents and ignores their honor
is like a cancer in the family.
If it remains in your body,
it will kill you.
Let me ask you something.
If you have cancer in your finger, what will you do? Mm?
-I'll simply cut my finger off. -Exactly.
Then you already know what you need to do.
CENTRAL POLICE STATION DISTRICT - JHAMLI
-Good morning, sir. -Good morning.
Beni for Reema Dutta.
Look at all the chaos you've brought here.
What?
We've always been a quiet and peaceful town.
-But you couldn't let us be. -But what did we do?
Did the government send you an invitation to come here and start digging?
Huh?
Why did you come to Jhamli?
We received a tip.
A reliable source told us that minors are going missing from Anand Bhoomi.
Tell me more.
We heard that Anand keeps underaged boys at his ashram.
He makes them do wrong things.
And as soon as he's finished with these boys, they just disappear.
If that's true, it's a police case. So what are you journalists doing here?
If the police had taken action when the complaints were filed,
why would we need to be here, sir?
That's a good point. Bloody hell.
Go, give your statement. We'll call you if we need you.
This way, please.
Ashok.
-Yes, sir. -Any news about Deepak?
My guys are working on it. We'll know soon.
Don't worry about anything.
He's a young boy, and young boys unlike us tend to lose track of time.
When he's finished whatever he's doing, he'll come back on his own.
I'll get his statement.
FOOD STALL
Hey, tell the driver with the flashing lights to park on the side.
Not in front of the gate.
-Come on, baby. -Should I feed him?
Open you mouth. One more spoon.
Come on. Good boy.
Good boy. Very good.
There we go.
Just one more bite.
Little more. Good boy.
-Can I please make a call, sir? -Five bucks for a call.
Why did you have to keep such a big secret from me?
I thought it was best if I waited for you to be in a good mood.
You should've told me when those people showed up,
I would've figured out something by now.
Good mood and all. Right now, nothing is going right for me,
and you're waiting for me to be in a good mood?
I knew about both of them,
but I didn't know that they would run away.
Hmm.
Would you mind telling me where they are right now?
If I knew that you're so fond of running, I would've signed you up for the Olympics!
Maybe you'd have won a medal for our country.
Now the village council is desperately looking for you…
to give you a special prize.
So tell me, what's the plan?
-What do you suggest? -You know your father well.
He'll never accept a daughter-in-law from another caste.
It'll be a blow to his honor.
What do you expect me to do?
We didn't mean to upset him. But we really love each other.
Love doesn't care whether you're from a higher or lower caste.
I think you've been watching too many romantic films.
This is Jhamli.
Got it? And your life is not some romantic movie.
Your father won't let this be a happy ending. You think he'll listen?
Too late. We're already married now.
Maybe if you're on my side, he may listen to you.
He's never going to understand or accept this.
I can't keep banging my head against a brick wall.
Be realistic. Have you forgotten what they did to our aunt in Sonipat?
What happened?
They killed and buried the couple. Just like that.
Will they kill us as well?
I'm scared. I don't want to die.
Don't let him scare you. He's just hot-headed.
Takes after his father.
Why are you so negative about this?
No one is going to hurt you.
Deepak loves you so much, dear.
And we are here with you in this. Hmm?
You don't worry about anything.
Deepak's brother will never let either of you down. Am I right?
Take this.
Stay here until I tell you where to go to next.
Make sure that no one finds out where you are hiding.
Pawan…
Hey.
Thank you.
It's all good.
Your wife is very beautiful.
Pawan sir, do you have a minute for me?
The government doesn't pay us to grin like fools, Ashok.
We have to work hard for it.
You know I'm not as useless as I appear.
Stop rambling, Ashok. Do you have a problem getting straight to the point?
Yeah, good things need a little build-up.
Look, I have a surprise for you.
-What's on that? -The answer to your prayers.
What?
That's the licence plate.
I pulled it from a shop near the scene of the crime.
Ten, twenty, thirty--
-Hey, listen. -Yes, sir.
How can I help you?
-Tell me, who is this Ram Sewak? -He's my father. What's the matter?
Is bike number JL19 2232 yours?
Have you found it?
-The bike was stolen? -Yes, seven days ago.
I'd filed a complaint at the police station.
Show me the copy.
Here, sir.
-Ashok. -Yes, sir?
You have some time, right?
-Anything for you, sir. -Do one thing.
Take a picture of this, frame it,
and hang it around your neck as a lesson.
Since we've come all the way here, should I ask them to pack us some food?
They have some really good snacks.
ANAND BHOOMI - LIFE, DEATH SEEK JOY WITHIN YOURSELF
Between life and death, may you experience only joy.
WELCOME TO ANAND BHOOMI
Sir, are you carrying a gun?
Guns are not allowed inside.
I'm sure they don't allow cops either.
But I will definitely go in, and the pistol will go with me.
Open the barricades.
What are you waiting for?
Sir, are you sure you want to do this? I just feel concerned about you.
You really think too much, Ashok.
You only have a few years left on the job.
Do something exciting.
It'll make for an excellent story later.
Wow, what a surprise!
Jhamli police is…
gracing the gates of Anand Bhoomi.
What's your name, mister?
I'm, er, Ashok.
I can barely hear you.
Your need to eat well, Ashok.
Good food is all you need to live a long, strong, and healthy life.
Anyway, you cops need to develop better stamina.
Inspector Pawan.
-Your father is my devotee. -Hmm.
-Yeah, I know that. -But you seem to be a non-believer.
Anyway, what's the latest update on your--
Our lives?
Oh, I'm sure you're living your best life. Tell me about the investigation.
We've only just begun.
Give it a day or two, you'll find out.
A lot can unfold in a day or two, my friend.
I'm deeply saddened by the death of the journalist.
We barely have any good ones left anyway.
Reema had a lot of information.
She knew about the minor boys who've gone missing from your ashram.
Questions have been raised.
Not everyone can be questioned, my friend.
Be careful where you direct your questions.
And don't come here and play this game of cops and robbers with me.
If there's a robbery, the cops will come.
If the cops come, there'll be an investigation.
On investigation, the robber will be caught,
sooner or later.
I take back what I said earlier, about you eating well.
Why?
Go fix your head before your health.
And one last thing. Make sure Keshav knows
that next time, the police will be stopped at the parking lot.
You don't have my permission to step into Anand Bhoomi ever again.
Are you waiting to be escorted? Just piss off.
Are you just going to sit there and smoke your hookah
or will you do something about this?
If we waste any more time, it'll be too late
and my sister will end up pregnant. What will I do then?
When I'm telling you your son has run away with my sister,
you're still refusing to believe me? Why?
Hey, you. Slow down.
I heard you.
But why should I believe anything you say?
Maybe you just want to embarrass me and my family.
I'm not going to go by hearsay.
I'll trust my eyes and my instinct.
The day I see the truth with my own eyes, I'll do what needs to be done.
Think about what you're saying.
There is no point in thinking over anything.
The only thing I learned from thinking about my life,
is that children do what they want to do.
And the parents are left to bear all the shame. That's all.
We know it well that children make mistakes.
If we end up finding your son, Deepak, with his sister,
then you will decide how to deal with him.
Since when did the council ask for permission?
When my brother married a girl from a different caste,
you never bothered to ask us!
-So why now? -Things were different at that time.
Today both families are here before the council.
-Sit down. -I don't agree.
Others who crossed the line were brutally killed and buried in the fields.
Even Chandru's daughter met the same fate.
I say Deepak should also face the same consequence.
I think he's right.
And as head of this village, the decision is yours.
If you fail to execute the punishment, we will lose faith in you.
-What do you say? Do you agree with me? -Yes.
-So what have you decided? -Just stop! Wait!
You heard them, Harihar. Do you agree?
So tell me, Pawan, how many years have you worked here?
-Eight. -Eight years.
Even a mango tree matures in eight years.
But not you apparently.
You seem to have forgotten.
I stopped your transfer five times in eight years,
or else you'd have been rotting in some village, far from home.
You should be sending me thank-you messages
every single day for what I've done for you,
with those folded-hands emojis.
But no. You decided to pay a visit to Anand Shri?
What did you think? You'd solve the case and win a medal of honor? Huh?
And you, Ashok.
Looks to me like your entire mango orchard has been wiped clean.
Best you focus on retiring in peace, you're too old for all this excitement.
That is, unless, you want to be demoted on your way out.
You're capable of nothing.
That's why I was suspending you.
I'm sending you a photograph. Check your messages.
KESHAV SIR
Do you know who that is?
He's the one who killed the journalist.
He's just a kid.
Yeah, so?
-I mean that-- -So you're a detective also?
Find the kid and close the case.
Not a single newspaper should get a whiff of this.
This is for you, son.
It's blessed.
God bless you.
What kind of a world are we living in, sir?
The father is the principal of a high school…
and the son's a murderer.
He's a kid.
Get me a bottle of water.
-Anything else? -No.
I really feel…
there's more to this story.
What are you thinking about?
Is it about Deepak?
Deepak has gotten married to a girl from that family.
What?
Our family, the village council…
they're all looking for him.
-Where is he hiding? -In Munnawar Nagar.
Come on, sir, I can't believe you hid all this from me.
You know what?
I need to get both of them out of here,
to some safe place.
In situations like these,
only one strategy makes sense.
Your left hand should not know what your right hand is up to.
Completely underground.
If anyone gets the slightest hint of this,
it will be out of our hands.
Over here!
What are you doing?
What do you think?
Just checking if your brother has left any evidence of his love story.
Have you lost your mind?
Honey is watching you. What will he learn?
It's better he learns young.
Enough of this. Stay out of it!
-For God's sake, Deepak is your son! -Papa.
What is it?
If there is cancer in your finger, what will you do?
What?
You'll cut off your finger, right?
Uncle Deepak is just like cancer.
-Who have you heard this from? -The village council head.
Varsha, take him inside.
Did you take Honey to the village council?
-I'm asking you a question! -Yes, I took him! So?
The next time…
you try to teach my son any of this rubbish,
I'll hang you in front of the whole village!
Listen to me very carefully.
You may not care that Deepak is your son, but he's my brother!
If anyone touches a hair on his head,
I will bury each and every member who's on the village council!
Alive! Am I clear?
You'll have frown lines if you're angry all the time.
What are you doing?
I want to try it. Let's see how this cigarette solves my problems.
It'll make you sick. It won't solve any problems.
That monster wants to take his own son's life.
When it was happening in other homes, we looked the other way.
Now, when it's happening in our home, we understand what it's like.
He took Honey to see the village council.
They say children make mistakes when they're young.
But here, it's the grown-ups who are failing.
If only it were that easy to understand, then maybe…
everything would be different.
So what do I do now? You tell me.
What's the matter?
Pawan sir.
Harpal's father could have come to the police station tomorrow morning
at a reasonable hour.
What was the need to investigate in the middle of the night?
Hey, Damodar!
-Yes, hello, sir. -Hello. Sir wants to meet you.
Good evening.
Damodar.
Yes, sir.
Do you recognize this boy?
This is Harpal. My son.
What's the matter?
Where is Harpal?
Harpal is with Anand Shri right now.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, Damodar.
Your son was with Anand Shri.
-But not anymore. -What do you mean?
What I mean is that I have information that your son, Harpal, has gone missing.
Why was he with Anand Shri in the first place?
If you didn't hear me, I'll speak louder. Do you want me to repeat myself?
I'm a disciple of Anand Shri.
My wife and I didn't have children for ten years of marriage.
Then Anand Shri blessed us,
but laid down the condition that the child would belong to him.
We… we were desperate.
Harpal has been with him since he was ten years old.
You gave your only child to Anand Shri? What kind of father does that?
Please don't say that, sir.
How does it matter what I say now?
Your son, Harpal, is missing, and no one gives a damn about where he is.
You have a choice.
If he is your son, then file a complaint right away.
And if he's not, then, well, I'm sorry.
I wasted your time.
He is my blood, sir.
Your tears won't bring him back.
The police are looking for your son. They will shoot him on sight.
Please don't do this to us, sir.
If you want to save your son,
file a complaint about his disappearance right away.
If you do, we can do our job. We can find your son
and bring him home safely.
-Pawan sir, listen-- -Keep quiet, Ashok.
His son is missing. He'll do what any father would.
You file the report. Say that you gave your son to Anand Shri,
and that you have no idea where he is now.
-But why should I put Anand Shri's name-- -You keep quiet.
-Anand Shri is a-- -Stay out of this, Ashok!
What kind of a father are you?
You care more about Anand Shri than your own son?
-But why are you getting so involved in-- -Fix it yourself then!
What's it going to be?
Are you filing a report or should I leave? I'm not wasting more time.
Fine, if that's what you want. Let your son die in a police shootout.
My feelings exactly, sir. Let's get some sleep now. Move!
Sir, please wait.
I want to file a complaint.
Get in the car, Damodar.
Pawan sir, what are you doing? Please stop.
Harpal is just a kid, Ashok.
You want to throw away everything you have for a kid?
How long are children going to pay the price
for the mistakes that adults have made?
They need freedom, Ashok. They need open skies to grow.
And Keshav, who's going to explain this to him?
My enmity is neither with Keshav nor Anand Shri, Ashok.
You have to understand.
This FIR is going to be Harpal's lifeline.
It will protect him, it will save his life.
And who will protect us? Think about yourself, stop worrying about him.
If you're scared, then you can back off.
I'll handle this case on my own.
Then my good wishes are with you, sir.
Car is clear. Go ahead and get your papers checked.
Your insurance has expired. Move to the side.
-What happened? -Get aside.
-There's the boy! -Hey, stop!
Hey, don't start running away! He's getting away!
Stop! Hey!
-Stop! -Don't let him get away!
-Run! -Stop!
Stop! Stop!
Yeah, Ashok. Tell me.
Sir.
-Where is he? -He's right there.
-Good evening. -Everything okay?
Yes, sir.
FOREST POLICE DEPARTMENT
Tell me your name.
Harpal.
Did you shoot the journalist?
What's the point of crying over it now?
-Talk to me. -They'll kill me!
Who'll kill you?
Anand Shri.
What?
I'm telling the truth.
I killed Reema on Anand Shri's orders.
If he asked you to kill your father, you'd have done it?
Yes. I would kill him!
Anand Shri has messed up my head completely!
He used to beat me every single day.
He did such horrible things to me.
I told him I want to go back home.
So he said, "Okay… …but first you'll have to kill her".
I'm telling the truth. I had no other way out of there.
Pawan sir, should I call Keshav?
Not yet.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Your father came to me.
A complaint has been lodged for your disappearance.
You don't have to worry anymore. And please stop crying.
You're going to be fine.
Ashok, do one thing.
Tell me, sir.
Take him into custody.
We'll present him in court first thing in the morning.
Come.
Come, don't be afraid.
-What are you planning to say to Keshav? -You worry too much about Keshav.
Get the paperwork done.
You wait here.
-Who's the magistrate? -Ramchandra Rathi.
How long till they call us?
-Case number 30. -Have you filed?
-Please submit the file. -Juvenile.
Make an entry.
There are five people ahead of you. It'll take half an hour.
Case number 31.
Case number 32.
What did I say? Come on out!
What did I say? What have I said?
You stay here! Come on!
Why did you let him go?
-But what could I have done, sir? -Useless!
Pawan, it's pointless calling me.
By the end of the day, the whole of Jhamli will be laughing at you!
Listen to me.
You may have taken the boy, but remember one thing,
I have an FIR in his name and his signed confession as well.
When I'm through, everyone will spit on you!
Have you confessed to everything?
Stop the damn car!
Wait, sir.
You want people to spit on me? What do you think you're doing?
-Where are you taking the boy? -Who are you to question me, huh?
I told you that we won't be prosecuting him.
-He's just a kid, Keshav. -And a criminal!
Yeah, so since when is Anand Shri in charge of punishing criminals?
We have courts for that!
Pawan, don't be a fool.
You're going up against Anand Shri. You have no idea what he's capable of.
My intensions are noble.
I answer only to God, and I'm an honest police officer!
-Let me see what that man is capable of. -Pawan! You're making a mistake!
Let the boy go. I won't mention any names in the chargesheet.
But if you take the boy,
then I will file a report, and it'll surely end up in court.
You'll regret this.
I've already walked into the fire,
and you think I'm afraid of bullets? Let's go!
I played by your rules and it got me nowhere.
Move aside!
-Sir, listen. -Get in the car!
Get in!
Zip up. It's chilly. You'll catch a cold.
I'm worried.
That didn't go down too well.
I'm sure Keshav is going to come after us now.
If I hadn't stopped him, he would've killed the boy.
But why should we make an enemy for the sake of the kid?
You've gone and ruffled a few feathers. What will you do now?
Whether you're right or not, he outranks you, sir.
So what do I do? Get down on my knees and worship him?
But, sir, how does it matter to us?
Who cares if Anand Shri is prosecuted or he's not?
Why go to war with him?
We only need to make sure that nothing happens to this kid. That's all.
Pawan sir.
If you ask me, we should settle this matter.
Okay?
No way in hell will I back down.
-Keshav sir-- -"Keshav sir"? Wow.
Just moments ago, you wanted to spit on my face,
and now you're buttering me up?
Why should I make a deal with you?
Who are you?
But you also said you'd humiliate me.
I'll do whatever you want. Would you like me to dance for you?
I'm only asking for one thing from you.
If Anand Shri finds out about this, we'll both be in trouble.
-Why do you care so much about the kid? -I just do.
One way to save him is to present him in court,
but you won't let me do that.
The only other option is to get him out of the state to a safe place.
-If this information gets out, we're in- -This stays between the three of us.
No one else needs to know. We won't say a word.
I'll go drop the kid myself. I simply need a go-ahead from you.
Keshav sir.
He's just a kid.
I should have a copy of the report by this evening,
and Anand Shri's name stays out of this case.
Give me two hours and the report will be with you.
What do you think? Only you care?
The kid's wellbeing matters to me too.
Give this to him.
This Keshav turned out to be a pretty nice guy, isn't it?
Giving the kid money for a new start, that's sweet. That's really big of him.
Pawan sir, that reminds me, how are Deepak and Preeti doing?
I don't know what to say, Ashok.
I have a suggestion for you, sir.
This must be a really difficult time for you.
Actually, my aunt has a house in Munnawar Nagar.
She lives in Canada, and her place is empty.
Deepak and Preeti can use the house. They'll be safe there.
Let's get this kid out safely first.
Sir, just a sec.
Deepak and Preeti are sitting on a time bomb right now.
Don't worry about Harpal. You can leave that up to me, sir.
You please focus on Deepak and Preeti for now.
All right? The rest is up to you.
-Are you sure you're okay to drop him off? -Of course. That's why I offered, sir.
All right. Message me the address.
Forget the address, sir, I'll have the keys of the house sent to you.
You're a good friend, Ashok.
You can always count on me, sir. I'm here for you.
Harpal.
Ashok will drop you safely.
No matter what, don't come back to Jhamli ever again.
Your family has given up hope of finding you.
It's best you forget them too.
Don't talk to anyone about what happened here.
Start a new life.
This is from Keshav sir.
You'll need it.
-Give me the phone. -Yes.
This phone is for you.
I've saved my number on it.
If you're ever in any trouble or need help,
don't hesitate to call me at any hour.
Okay?
Come, let's go.
Listen, son, he's just like God to you.
Take his blessings.
Bless you. Take care of yourself.
You also take care of yourself, sir.
Come.
On the morning of January 22nd,
senior journalist Reema Dutta
was fatally shot in Jhamli by unidentified assailants.
The Jhamli police acted swiftly and set up a special investigation committee.
This committee for now is headed by Inspector Pawan.
During the initial investigation,
and based on leads emerging from media reports,
it appeared as if Anand Shri may have been involved in the incident.
As of this moment, our team has completed the preliminary inquiry
under the leadership of Inspector Pawan.
After the preliminary enquiry, we can confirm
there is no evidence to suggest
any connection between Anand Shri and the killing of journalist Reema Dutta.
And to link his name with this heinous and cowardly act
is a matter of absolute shame for Jhamli.
To further the investigation, the Reema Dutta case file
will be handed over to the Delhi Police.
Her murderers will be brought to justice.
Sir, has the police interrogated Anand Shri?
Of course.
And as always, Anand Shri has fully cooperated with the police,
answered all the questions satisfactorily.
We can confirm that Anand Shri is not connected to this murder.
The police has detailed all this in their report.
Thank you.
All's well that ends well?
Go on, say it. This was the perfect solution to our problem.
The boy must have made it out of the state by now.
Ashok called me earlier. He dropped him off at the Delhi border.
Then why don't you look happy? You got what you wanted.
Come on, smile a little.
It's a little messy.
But it's safe.
It's a matter of a few days. I'll let you know as soon as it's safe to move.
Thanks, but where do we go?
Hmm. That's up to the both of you now.
Just don't make the mistake of coming back here.
You're both educated. You can start a new life.
Find a home for yourself, think about your future.
I think it's best if Varsha and I don't see you again.
It's not safe.
It's possible someone may follow us and find you both.
We'll see you in a few years perhaps.
By then you'll have a family of your own.
If things weren't so messed up, we would've done all the rituals at home.
But never mind. Welcome to the family, Preeti. Here.
Make her wear it.
Bless you.
Thank you, Pawan.
Your brother really loves you a lot. No one from my family would do this.
Don't say that, my love.
I'm sure your family will come around. Don't worry, okay?
Give it to Papa.
Tea.
I know it well…
that you are really upset because of Deepak.
And like that's not enough, people make it worse by talking about it.
You don't know your father even after all these years.
I'm not easily swayed by what other people think or say.
The whole world is rapidly moving toward the future,
and we're still trapped in the past, killing our children to save our honor.
Deepak is just as much your son as I am. You're smart enough to understand that.
When it comes to protecting our honor,
sons and grandsons will always be second to our ancestors' honor.
You can tell Deepak that the next time I see him will be the last.
Pawan.
Tell Varsha that I'll have an extra helping at dinner tonight.
I want to make sure
I have the strength to do what I need to do.
You neither have your papers nor your licence.
You shouldn't be riding a bike. Take a bullock cart!
Take this moron aside and fine him!
What's the matter, Pawan sir? Is something wrong?
Or are you in a bad mood?
It's my father's temper.
I don't think he'll calm down anytime soon.
A temper never did anyone any good.
It's not just his temper.
Then what is it?
He's making a choice.
What do you mean?
Have you read the Mahabharat?
No, sir. I never felt the need to.
On the 14th day of the war, Arjun was in a big dilemma.
-Do you know why? -Why?
He'd lost his son just the day before,
and his guru, Dronacharya, was standing in front of him.
So?
Dronacharya had a hand in killing Arjun's son, Abhimanyu.
Arjun struggled with the decision.
Should he fight his teacher or not.
Then what happened?
Ultimately, he chose his duty as a warrior over everything.
Though it cost him his loyalty as a student,
he fought his own teacher.
Sir, I really don't understand what you're saying.
That's because you never bothered to read the Mahabharat, Ashok.
We humans
are bloody idiots.
If we do what's right, we lose the deed.
When we choose the deed, we lose what's right.
We never get to the duty we're meant to uphold.
-I want to meet Inspector Pawan. -What do you want?
What you're saying reminds me of that journalist Reema Dutta.
She came to Jhamli to do her duty. What was the point?
A 16-year-old boy shot her. End of story.
Sir.
Can I ask you something?
Hello, sir.
Have you come here to soak in the afternoon sun?
I'd gone to the police station.
Do you have any information about Harpal?
So, now you're worried about your son?
We got him out of the city safely.
But I can't tell you where.
He's fine wherever he is.
Harpal's mother is worried sick right now.
Could I speak to him just once? Just for my peace of mind.
For your peace of mind?
-The number is switched off. -Where's your helmet? Check his papers.
Please try again--
The number you are trying to reach is currently switched off.
Please try--
-A very good evening, sir. -Good evening.
The matter has gotten completely out of hand now.
News is, Deepak has married Preeti.
And his son, Pawan, helped them to hide out in Munnawar Nagar.
There you go. That makes things clear.
Now all we need to know, is when you want to do it.
Don't worry, I get it. I completely understand his hesitation.
Why are you dragging him into this bloody slaughter?
He's too old for all this drama.
Meet this man.
He's been doing this for the past four years.
In Panchkula, he cut up a boy and a girl
and then put them into a sugarcane crusher.
-He's killed about five or six couples-- -Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry. Ten couples, he says.
And the best part about this man is that he can't speak.
He'll never be able to tell anyone about it.
He can definitely do the job for you.
He'll do it any way you like. Should he have a slow and painful death?
You can choose poison or slitting his throat.
If you want to give your son a quick death,
he can shoot him or maybe run him over with a car.
You could also ask him to tie the boy to a tractor and drag him till he's dead.
He's pretty versatile.
I leave it up to the council now.
Look, Harihar, the choice is yours.
You know what needs to be done.
If you ask me, he is right.
Let his man finish the job and the chapter will be closed for good.
And you won't have to get your hands dirty.
I am a man of my word.
I don't need anyone to do what I have promised to do.
You take care of your sister. That's all.
Then it's settled. Only a few people will go.
Five from his side and five from your side.
The decision made tonight will not be put in writing.
-Am I clear? -Okay.
So that's final then. The meeting is over. Let's go.
Like it or not,
they are married now,
and that makes us relatives.
The number you are calling is either switched off
or not reachable at the moment.
-Ashok! -Yes, sir?
The number you are calling…
What's the matter?
I've been trying Harpal for the past six hours, but can't get through.
Can't get through?
But I dropped him off safely at the border,
and I'm sure no one followed us.
I promise you.
Why don't you send a message to him, sir? I'm sure he'll call back when he sees it.
I'll get us some tea.
Hey, good morning. All good, Pawan?
In the eight years I've been here, I asked you for only one thing.
But you played me, didn't you?
Played you? What are you talking about?
Harpal's phone has been off since yesterday.
Where is Harpal?
What do you mean?
-How am I supposed to know where he is? -You better find out, Keshav sir.
Because apart from Ashok and me,
the only other person who knew about this plan, is you, sir.
Have you gone crazy?
You better figure it out, Keshav.
Because if I don't get to speak to Harpal,
I will put my gun so far up your ass, it'll come out of your mouth,
and shoot you straight in your goddamn head!
-Hey! -Hey!
Who is this Pawan?
And you?
This, er…
This gun is an adornment, is it?
You should've shot the asshole and ended the matter.
If he was an outsider, I would've finished him by now.
He's looking for Harpal.
He has an official confession from the boy.
You are all completely useless.
Pieces of shit!
You've made a complete mess of this.
When shit hits the fan, Anand Shri will clean it.
I'll take care of this. Just say the word.
I'm not connected to the murder case of that journalist any longer.
Get me that confession letter. I don't care what it takes.
You'll have it by tomorrow morning, Anand Shri.
Any day would be a blessing for us. Have breakfast.
-Please, Nirmal, have some more. -No, thank you. Thank you so much.
You're late, Mr. SHO, huh?
We just finished our tea.
How dare you show up at my house like this?
Pawan.
On one hand, there's a devotee like your father, see?
And then there's you. Huh? Betraying the great Anand Shri.
Just get out.
-How can you talk to him like that? -You stay out of this. Come on.
Give me Harpal's confession, and we'll leave from here.
Listen…
don't compel me.
Oh, was that a threat? Hmm?
I can make cheap-ass cops like you dance on my little finger.
And you're trying to threaten me?
You think a cop like me gives a damn about what you can do?
I don't care.
Out! Just get out!
My son is watching. Don't create a scene.
I don't give a rat's ass about your son.
Give me the confession letter and I'll leave.
Listen, we don't want to humiliate you.
Do what you have to.
Give it your best shot.
Boys, let's give him what he wants.
-Pawan! -Pawan!
-Nirmal! Papa, stop them! -Nirmal! Stop it!
Pawan!
Are you done? Humiliated enough? Hmm?
I didn't want to tell you this, but,
the boy you're fighting so hard for…
he's already on his way to heaven.
So, just give me the letter and walk away from this.
Or else, I'll make sure that you join him soon up there.
What, you killed that innocent kid?
Maybe your friend, Ashok, forgot to tell you, huh?
Why did you stop the car?
Just sit back, young man.
And fasten your seatbelt.
Hey! Stop!
Stop!
Go! Faster!
-Don't run! I'm shooting you now! -No running away!
Come on! He's sliding down!
-Oh, he's gone! -He slid down!
Hey, over here!
Where did you learn to shoot, huh?
If you wanted me to kill him, why didn't you say so earlier?
My gun is government property. Every bullet is tracked.
Leave.
And be sure, it won't take me much time to kill you as well.
Cheer up now, your son is watching.
Since your father is so loyal to Anand Shri,
I'm letting you go this time.
But if you make me come back,
I won't care for your son or your father. You'll be gone.
Right here, bang-bang, and you'll be dead.
I want the confession letter by morning.
Got it? By morning.
But I dropped him off safely at the border,
and I'm sure no one followed us. I promise you.
They killed a 16-year-old boy in cold blood.
And you want me to do nothing?
For how long?
Until they come here to kill our little son?
They beat you up in front of your son today.
They won't hesitate to kill you next time.
One father feels honor-bound to kill his son,
another is getting beaten up in front of his son.
My brother fears for his life for loving outside his caste.
They pull the strings and we dance like puppets, afraid to step out of line.
I can't stand by and watch anymore.
So what do you want to do?
My duty.
I can try to fulfill my duty at least.
Pawan sir.
Is something wrong? You look worried.
No, no.
Why would I worry when I have you in my life?
How did you get this injury?
Anand Shri's men paid me a visit.
What?
That asshole, how dare he? One word from you, Pawan sir,
we'll get Keshav to arrest them, break their bones.
Thrash the rascals!
I'll do it for you. We'll break their bones.
No, no, Ashok.
I don't see the point of doing all this.
So you're not going to do anything about it?
Just tell me what do you want, sir.
You used a word the other day.
"Deal."
Yes.
Let's make a deal with them.
Sir, I am not able to understand what you're saying.
I'll give them Harpal's FIR, his confession letter. I'll walk away.
I can't do this anymore.
Are you sure?
You take it easy for now. Just give me all the papers.
We'll get Keshav to take them to Anand Shri.
You relax. You're hurt, you need to rest for some time.
No.
I'll go myself.
I need to apologize as well.
-Could you do one last thing for me? -Sure, sir. Anything for you.
I want you to call Keshav.
Wait here.
Thanks for coming.
If you hadn't come to my house,
then I might never have been able to truly understand
what kind of a man I am.
And I didn't realize that all it would take was a little thrashing.
I'd heard that a blow to the head makes you lose your mind.
But this is the first time I'm seeing
that if you strike at the right spot, then it can fix your mind too.
Never mind.
I'm sorry about what I said. Apologize to Anand Shri on my behalf.
Okay. It's all good.
Come, let's go.
Hey, listen.
What?
I forgot to mention something.
You insisted on making a scene that day, right in front of my son.
Hey!
Maybe this will clear your head. Bang-bang, you're dead.
Pawan sir!
Sir, what have you done?
I gave him what he deserved.
But why? You've ruined everything for us.
What do we tell Keshav now?
Why don't you leave Keshav to me?
-You don't worry about anything. -Sir, they'll destroy us now.
You're like a brother to me.
-Who else can do anything to you? -I'm calling Keshav right now.
Why are you always in a hurry to report back to Keshav, huh?
I treated you as my friend.
Some friend you turned out to be.
-Wait, what are you doing, sir? -I trusted you with the life of that kid.
But I was growing a snake in my own sleeve.
Harpal was a kid, Ashok!
You should have let him go!
Pawan sir, please, hear me out.
-Please, sir. -There's nothing left to say, you traitor!
Pawan sir.
This is not right.
No, no, what was happening till now was not right.
I'm finally doing what's right.
You can get rid of me, Pawan.
But what about your own father?
It was your father who held down your dearest brother
and slit his throat, slowly and steadily.
Your brother had the guts to run away with a girl from my community.
He thought he'd get away with it.
He could strip our caste of honor and we do nothing?
I myself took your father to where Deepak was hiding.
You know, the real snake…
is not me.
It's your own father.
You care so much about your duty…
go do your duty now, Mr. Inspector.
Journalist, Reema Dutta, was murdered
by a juvenile named Harpal at the behest of Anand Shri.
I have a written confession from the boy.
Harpal has been missing since.
While my colleague, Sub-inspector Ashok, and I were looking for him,
one of Anand Shri's gang members attacked us.
My colleague was fatally shot.
I returned fire and killed the attacker on the spot.
You've gone and completely screwed up everything.
I killed all three of them.
And you're up next.
I'll either shoot you, or I'll…
I will skin you alive!
Get your hands off me, Keshav.
I've already filed an official report.
Harpal's confession is in evidence.
You're about to do the unimaginable.
You'll be the first man to attend his own funeral.
The media is here.
You better go and give them your statement.
And save your reputation,
while you still can.
And tread carefully…
or you might get suspended today.
Let them come.
What happened?
Get up, Papa.
-Hmm? -Come on, get up!
What?
-Hurry up. -What's wrong?
-Huh? -Deepak wants to see you.
Don't you also want to see your son?
Come on. Let's go.
Let's go!
Pawan, what are you doing?
Why have we come here?
When it's time to meet God…
it's important to have a clear conscience, Papa.
Being a father doesn't simply mean
that you bring a child into this world
and keep telling him what's right and what's wrong.
Being a father is much more than that, Papa.
But you'll never get it.
It's hurts me to say this. I never wanted to…
but I'll say it anyway.
You failed miserably.
I truly hope…
that if I'm ever born again…
I don't have the misfortune of being your son.
While on the journey of finding myself,
I too walked on the same path as you, Papa.
You chose honor over your son's happiness and killed him,
and I killed my father while performing my duty.
Right and wrong, they are two sides of the same coin, Papa.
No one is completely right and no one is completely wrong…
but knowing the difference, knowing where you stand, is important.
One day, my little son will grow up, become a man.
He'll stand before me, look me in the eye and ask about the choices I made.
When that day comes, I may not be able to tell him the truth.
All I will be able to tell him is this, sometimes, when everything breaks,
the only brave thing left to do is to begin again,
to tear down the life you built on fear and rebuild it from the ground up.
You did what you believed you had to do,
and I fulfilled…
my duty.
