ACT 1978 (2020) Movie Script

1
The Story, characters, situations and
organisations shown in this film are fictitious.
None of them relates any true incident,
organisation and person living or dead.
This is a visual presentation
of a fiction story.
Corruption and irresposibility are detrimental...
...To the progress of the country and
the health of society.
Village people shouting.
Who can stop?
The heart wrecking voice.
Until justice is served
Blood continues to boil.
When will you come floating skies?
To kiss the lap of earth.
Cool breeze, What will you bring?
The sparkle to kindle inspiration.
The thunder of silence,
when will you burst?
To destroy the arrogance of governance.
Everyday words, what will you give?
To enhance the power of truth.
Let there be any storm,
We won't fall.
We hug like the bamboo groove,
And we live strong.
Does anyone ever apply for
air and light?
Is there a wait even to get
our rights?
The world has given us tears,
To wipe the mirror called soul.
One look of love is enough,
To write the preface for tomorrow.
Its my right.
Its my country.
Its my right
Its my country
Its my right
Its my country
When will you come floating skies?
To kiss the lap of earth.
Cool breeze, What will you bring?
The sparkle to kindle inspiration.
Let there be any storm,
We won't fall.
We hug like the bamboo groove,
And we live strong.
Let there be any storm,
We won't fall.
We hug like the bamboo groove,
And we live strong.
[Industrial noise.]
[Dog barking in distance]
[Indistinct chattering]
While the State assembly sessions are on,
Another scandal of the state government
has been busted.
The Borewell drilling program under
the Jalakalyan scheme
From the State Department of Agriculture
and Farmer welfare,
...Fake bills have been produced
...And 369 crore rupees have
been plundered
...From tax payers money.
Regarding this, the opposition party leader
Has presented the state audit reports
And is all set to put government
in a spot.
[Buzzing of mosquito.]
Mosquito burning.
For name sake, You are the
President of the State Government Employee Associations.
But you dont know how to execute...
Even one task in the right way.
Mr. Srinivas Murthy,.
You lured saying it was 60:40 sharing and...
Kept taking contracts ...
And now you have got caught...
By the vigilance department,
Arent you ashamed?
The original audit copy should not reach,
Tomorrows assembly session at any cost.
Sir..
Please manage by claiming that...
The documents submitted in the assembly are fake.
In the meanwhile,
I will see if I can sneak that file...
Out of Agricultural department record room.
That file has to reach my hands by this evening.
I guess you know that whenever a scam is out,
There will be a short circuit or
a fire accident incident.
Why dont you try such ideas?
Or would you want to..
Set fire to the entire record room?
Go on man!
Will pay you tomorrow.
(Fight for justice 317th day)
Police walkie talkie noise.
You cant find it?
Since there is court tomorrow,
I had left it on the table
itself Venkatesh.
Damn! Ok....
Make a note of the main details...
And you can type it out later.
Complainant Mohammad Noufal
What is this Geetha,
You have been wandering to...
This place for the past 5-6 months?
Instead of paying 20-30 percent to
the people inside,
If you pay me 15%, will I not get
this work done for you?
Brother, you know that...
My ethics doesnt allow me to...
Pay commission and get work done.
-Thats true.
As if, the file will move from table to
table on its own, right?
The file that was sent to treasury...
Has been returned for a
correction in initial.
-If that is done then cheque
-(Hey Anji)
Hmm.
There is no correction.
It is all their mischief.
(Sigh)
-(How long should i wait, come soon)
(Mumbling) All work must be done free
of cost to these people...
Put a crime number...
Take print out and...
Leave it on the table before
Inspector arrives.
Got it?!
Take care.
(Mumbling)
Useless people...
Walkie-talkie! Hey
Brother!
Did you see my walkie talkie?
No.
What is this my dear?
Women get admitted to hospital....
For delivery a week earlier...
And you are sitting here?
Even to get admitted to hospital,
We need money isnt it Narsamma?
Unexpected meet of a woman,
Chances of becoming popular.
Mr. Govind,
Can you read my predictions for
the day as well?
Hey!
Arent you a Christian?
Does your religion also follow
astrology and predictions?
Hey!!
You and me are all same.
Shut up and read what is predicted
for Cancer sign?
(Misreading the zodiac sign)
Efforts are paid off.
Success in job!
Hey looks like your temporary job....
Will be made permanent Benda-Meenu
(boiled fish)
Damn! Will bash you.
Thats not Benda-Meenu.
It is Benjamin!
Let me receive the order for
permanent post,
Will propose Suhasini madam
today itself.
(Laughing)
Why are you laughing?
As if your job will be made permanent..
..And you will be able to propose her.
It will not happen in this life time.
Dimwit!
Our Suhasini Madam is like a flower
that bloomed in fire.
Jesus came in my dreams and asked me
to give her a new life.
Amen!
May God bless you.
-To both of us.
-Right!
Come my dear.
Ah.! God save me!
-Sir, where do I apply for subsidy
of oil seeds?
-Hey man, go ask someone else.
-(Mumbling)
Whom shall I ask?!
-Hello Madam!
It seems they provide subsidy loans
here for oil seeds.
In which section should I enquire
about it?
This is Department for Farmer welfare.
For oil seed subsidy,
It has to be applied through your
village local branch...
Which will be sent here.
If you are eligible for loan,
Then within one or two months of
file proposal..
..Money will get deposited into
your account.
-Ok madam.
They will not take the application
here directly.
-Thank you, madam.
(Breathing heavily..)
For the file to move in just one or
two months,-
-Is it my dads office?
-(humming a song) [your presence is very sweet..]
[You are my peace of mind..
its you and you and you]
What Benjamin..
..You are singing
Romantic songs?
Madam!
This is song for Jesus.
Oh! I will believe that.!.
(Joy will overflow, joy will overflow
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!)
Why do you show your face early
in the morning...
...And spoil everybodys mood?
-[In the background]
This is perfect medicine for all ailments.
-See what you want to buy.
-Everything will be cured.
-I dont want anything.
-I havent got any serious ailment;
I am all fine.
-Hey I dont want... what is it??
-It is for hair growth.. try once.
Will it help me grow new hair on my head?
Hey! You keep bluffing all the
time by giving false hopes.
-I am trying this since ages, hair wont grow
back on my head.
-Please try this oil.
-It has not been of any use.
-No sir this time for sure.
-Give some oil for back pain that will be of
use for my wife.
I am strong.
-Good Morning Nanjundappa
-Hi sir
-Hi
-Hello
Hello Sir!
[Sighs]
What is this Lokesh?
Why has your face swollen up?
Tooth ache sir.
Need to go to the doctor.
-Get the file which I gave yesterday.
-[Lokesh] Will write a leave letter and go.
If boss hasnt seen will come
tomorrow and sign.
So, madam,
Yesterday you must have shopped
a lot isnt it?
Yes, its all done.
But the groom doesnt want
regular market clothes.
-He wants only branded ones.
So that is the only thing remaining.
-Pass the phone will speak to him.
Sir!
-Hold for a minute.
Your work has to be done right?
Look, the chief accountant hasnt come
to work even today.
Come tomorrow or day after.
-Sir
-Yes, tell me.
Look lady!
Do not bother me constantly.
Hello!
It has been a week since your
work is done.
You still havent come to office!
Should I put a query on you?
Neither do they listen to
what is said...
...Nor they follow the procedure.
I dont know why people without...
...Common sense land up in Government offices.
-They dont have brains Mr. Lokesh.
-Why are you stressing yourself?
Listen. Before end of today,
Come and meet me in my office.
-I can send Benjamin to meet you.
Oh, I have a friend request
from some girl?
-Careful, Mr. Lokesh!
Please verify and then accept.
Just few days back,
Our Benjamin created a fake account
under a girls name
..And sends me a friend request.
But he got caught you see..!
What are you saying madam...
I have quit doing such things.
-Yes yes..
You are right.
Cant trust anyone on
Facebook these days.
-Guruswamy Sir.
-Ah.
Look she is capturing photos.
Who is that?
Dont you know it is an offence to
capture photos...
...And videos inside a government office?
Switch off your phone.
Sir she is not capturing photo.
She is going live on Facebook.
-Benjamin.
First go and snatch that phone from her.
-One-minute sir. Will arrange these files and go.
-Just leave those files and go!
-Ok sir.
Hey lady!
Dont you understand?
These camera phones have made it easy
for everyone to take videos.
-Old man!
-Cant you advice that lady?
-From where do you guys end up here?
-Why do guys like you come to department?
-Look at me.
I joined duty as a constable...
....And today I am a Sub-Inspector.
Just another promotion
I will become the Circle Inspector.
[Police radio noise]
I have another three years for retirement.
Within that I will achieve something and....
...Take a promotion.
You will be a constable all your life.
Sir,
This is Government property man.
[Silences the radio]
Sir...
You have now lost it.
Dont you have common sense.
Go, find your walkie-talkie and come back.
If you dont find it,
I will write the report for your suspension.
[Breaking News]
This is a news that will shake up state
and the entire country.
Human bomber suddenly attacks the...
...Department of Agriculture and Farmer welfare office.
I am taking this Government office
under my control.
I have few demands.
This evening 5pm is the deadline.
Only if government agrees and
fulfils them,
I will let these people walk out
alive from here.
If you try to act too smart in
the meanwhile,
I will blow up this building including
myself.
-Crowd screaming.
Father!
Collect all their phones.
Not one phone call should be
made from here.
[Mumbling]
[Oh Lord, my prayers to you. Oh lord, oh lord]
Disconnect all the landlines in this office.
The evil spirit that has entered...
....The body of this pious soul,
I summon you in the name of our Lord Jesus.
Get away from here Satan!
Prayers in the name of Son of God.
Prayers in the name of Good Shepherd.
Prayers in the name of our Lord Jesus.
Leave Satan
Amen!
Satish,
The Facebook live video...
...Which went viral in just few minutes...
...Was relayed from this building.
The police have just arrived and surrounded
this building.
At the moment it is pretty chaotic out here...
...And people are anxious.
[Reporters throwing questions
regarding situation.]
Hey who let all these people inside?
Send them away.
Sir!
Mr. Karunakar.
I am already at the spot sir.
Dont let the situation go out of control.
-Ok Sir.
I will speak to Home Minister.
Yes sir. Yes sir.
Sir
These are all the landline numbers of this office.
But we are unable to connect to them.
Sir..
[Phone rings]
-Hello!!
-Mr. Srinivas Murthy...
...Now that building is hijacked.
What is the story of our file?
Sir I have already sent one of my man inside.
Dont worry. I am there.
Ok. Let's see what you will do.
-Sir this one file.
-Will you shut up? I have my set of worries already.
This morning I spoke to her...
...In the corridors of that office.
She seemed like a very learned person.
There was one old man as well.
Sir our government has taken
peoples lives for granted.
We follow western people in
our food and fashion.
But when it comes to security,
We dont follow any such methods.
We pay taxes.
Shouldnt our tax money be
utilised properly.
How will we people have trust?
If we step out of the house,
We dont know if we will get back alive.
Thats how it is.
That woman who has hijacked....
...The government office doesnt know
what a traitor she is.
We patriots wont tolerate this.
[Humming a popular kannada song]
[Mumbling]
[These people get in my way]
[Humming a popular kannada song]
Hey!
Get the TV from inside and
place it out.
Huh..
Close all the windows.
Tips...?
Mobile?
Hello..
Who is that inside?
Hello..
Hello who is inside?
Sir the battery is weak.
Hello!
I am Sub-Inspector Karunakar speaking.
Who is inside?
-Hello Inspector!
-Good Morning sir.
Hello! Who is this?
The video is already trending online.
Do I have to really introduce myself?
Yes!
Who are you?
Which organization do you belong to?
What are your intentions?
What is your demand?
You will get answers to all your questions.
But before that...
I NEED RESPECT!
Tell me madam.
What is your demand?
Which is your organization?
There is lot of time to tell
you about my background.
But before that ask...
...One of your constable to
go to Bangalore One Centre.
Will tell you what to do next.
If we cant do it?
Hello...!!!
Charlie calling control room.
Madam...toilet.
Sister...
My name is Herbal Rangaswamy.
I dont have anything to do with this office.
If you have doubts check
this visiting card
I am a meagre salesman selling
these herbal oils.
If I dont reach my sales target today,
They will cut it out of my salary.
You will be blessed
if you could just let only me go from here.
See... I am a diabetic patient.
I have to take my insulin on time.
I am also a heart patient.
If I am tensed, my heart may stop.
Let me also go along with this guy.
Who all wish to get out of here?
Raise your hands.
I have to meet father.
Let me go...
Please madam.
Everyone raised their hands.
Why didn't you do it?
I thought you will retain everyone
who raised their hands..
...And let only me out of this place.
Sister I came here for some other work
and even my vehicle is in No Parking spot.
It will be a problem if police tow it away.
Just let me go. Please sister.
Madam I was on half day leave.
I have to go collect my daughters
wedding invitations,
...Offer it to God and then go home.
Tomorrow is Amavasye [new moon].
I have to do it today itself.
Madam, I have severe toothache.
Doctor has asked me to get root canal done.
I have to go. Please madam.
Madam even I have to go.
[In Chorus] Me...! Me...! Me.!
If I send all of you,
should I sit here and play Temple Run?
Until my demands are met,
no one can leave from here.
If you still try to escape from here,
I will not be responsible
for the consequences.
All of you come to the front
and sit down.
[In chorus] Madam...
please madam...
Hey take your stinky medicine
away from here.
What are you trying to do sir?
The thing is it is difficult for me to sit down.
Thats why I was trying to sit on chair.
I have not come here to bond with you.
Come and sit down.
Sir!
One of our PC has reached
Bangalore One.
What next?
Ask him to make note of
a bill number.
Hello madam!
Have you gone mad?
This is the number of my house electricity bill.
Ask him to pay Rs. 561/-
-Charlie
-Ok sir.
One of your wishes is fulfilled.
Whats next?
Now ask one constable to go to
Subbaiah Circle.
Sir..
Currently I am expecting more details sir.
As soon as I receive some information,
will update you.
Yes sir... yes sir...
Check from intelligence if there is any
information about potential threats.
And if any suspicious calls are monitored,
ask them to inform us immediately.
Ask him to paint a zebra crossing to the
hump in that circle.
Sir.
The chief accountant working in this
office is on leave.
Get him here.
Hello madam!
Are you playing with us?
Hmm...
Yes, I am fooling around.
Now if you send that guy in,
I will set all of these people free.
This is a different kind of game.
Ok Madam.
Where ever he is we shall try to find him
and get him here.
Today is Monday.
He will be in the Ayurvedic centre at
Sanjay Nagar.
-You are Dalavayi right?
- Get up.
-Who are you?
-Will tell you first get up.
-Where should I come?
-Boss is calling, come.
-Which boss?
-You will know all that come.
-Hold on a minute, will come.
Let me wear my clothes.
-We will buy you new clothes come.
-My phone and other things are here, leave me.
-No need for your phone or anything else.
-Please wait for a minute
-Just go.
-Why are you forcing?
-This is not called forcing, just come.
Dalavayi will reach here in five minutes.
Send all those people from inside and
I will send Dalavayi in.
I guarantee you this.
If there was any value to assurances of
people in power,
Why would I be here?
First you send him inside.
Then I will release these people.
-Look, here comes my promotion.
-Absolutely sir.
Get down.
Come here.
[Dalavayi] Sir
Sir!
Mr. Dalavayi,
The thing is one of your office staff...
...Claims you have harassed him and
threatens to commit suicide.
Now you tell me,
Should I take you to police station or
will you go inside and compromise with him.
Who?
Is it that Project officer Aravind?
You are right?
If I ask him to work in office,
He keeps taking up outside
private assignments.
I kept advising him not to do that or
he would lose his job.
So, this morning I spoke a little sternly and
he calls this as harassment is it?
He wants to die just for that?
-See
-Sir dont lodge a complaint. Is he inside?
I will go inside and drag him out from there, wait.
Aravind!
Aravind!
Open the door!
Are you fooling around?
Benjamin! Hey Benjamin.
-Father, please open the door.
-Open the door, what is wrong with you people?
There will be bit of exchange of words
when we are working together.
So, you want to die just because of that?
Who is this man?
-Good morning sir.
-Hey leave me
-Sir you came at the right time.
Aravind!
Did you drink it?
Did you...?
Why do you behave like this?
Why? Can you do this?
[On the TV] It will be foolishness
to analyse this situation so early.
In this situation we can only ask questions.
As a Psychologist, I have to tell you
Hello Madam!
I have fulfilled all your demands,
-Now it is your turn.
Release them all.
I will make sure;
nothing happens to you.
[She hasnt mentioned of her demands yet]
Thank you for your concern sir.
But sorry...
I have no intention to release
any one from here.
Actually, now I will tell you
what my main demand is.
Madam
if you do not release them out,
We have to get inside.
-At least surrender,
your life will be saved.
Cool sir. Do not fret.
If you want to come inside,
I have left a gift for you in the bin
near the post box.
Why dont you get that and come in?
Pick it up.
Keep it here.
-Come aside.
Bomb !
Grand pa...
You are playing without realising
my power.
I am Vice-President of
Government Employees Union.
If something happens to me,
you will not get even one rupee.
-Sir
-What is it?
Sir,
dont talk much to that woman.
If that towel falls off,
The last remaining respect will
also be gone.
Sorry Madam.
-Sit quietly sir.
Are you working in favour of the
Department or the hijackers?
Connect me to that woman.
-Yes sir.
-This is Police Commissioner
Shankar Narayan speaking.
Tell me sir.
We are appointing a...
...Higher officer from the
Government to negotiate with you.
But remember,
as long as the hostages are safe,
You are safe as well.
The safety of hostages depends on
how you behave with me and...
...How quickly you fulfil my demands.
What nonsense is this?
What if that bomb came into
hands of a child?
Are morals even alive or
completely destroyed?
-Mr. Mahesh Katti,
have some patience.
-What she has committed is a crime.
True. But we must not come into
conclusions about anyone.
-Her actions may be immoral
-But we do not have clarity
regarding her intentions behind it.
-Good morning sir.!
-Good morning!
What is this?
.
This is the request letter to the
Centre requesting for NSG platoon from Gurgaon.
-Thank you, sir
You have such useless people
in your department.
I apologize for the blunder sir.
But there are several efficient officers...
...Who work day and night for
the department.
Working is not important,
results are important.
What is your next plan of action?
Who is going there?
ACP Ram Gopal Sir.
Rohini from CCB, reporting sir.
[Reading from the mirror]
Feeling very scared.
Let Suhasini and Revathi
hold Geetha.
You people have made
good plan to escape.
Who will hold the old man?
[Writing]
This is only possible by Benjamin.
Hey Benjamin toilet is so dirty.
Go and clean it thoroughly.
Govind!
You take your salary on time but
cant you do your job properly.
Go and clean it up properly.
What are you staring at me?
Get up and go.
Uncle..
Old man...!
that is not part of my job.
I will go.
Good lord save me.
You are making me do
what is your job.
Everyone makes me do
their jobs.
This is one problem if I am a
temporary employee.
I have to do all jobs.
What is here to clean?
They are all the time
asking me to do chores.
Who has written on
the mirror?
No one has sense.
Idiots!
I have cleaned it thoroughly.
If anyone writes on
the mirror again,
You will have it from me.
Like kids they had
scribbled rubbish.
I have cleaned it well
madam.
-Sir, this is Gods chariot.
Please release it.
Whatever we have collected
so far must be taken
And given to Orphanage.
[Reporter]
[Please give us some information sir]
-Sir, we have to finish it
and go to Shirdi
-Sir
-Collect the construction map...
...And surrounding map immediately
from PWD.
Also contact the Information Bureau.
Yes Sir!
Sir.
Do you have any information
regarding the hijacker inside?
Sir, her name is Geetha.
This is the list of hostages.
The world already knows this...
...And you are trying to pass it
off as information.
Did you try to understand anything
about her state of mind.
Sir, it has been difficult to
understand her.
She is a very good criminal.
She has been speaking softly.
That is why I got fooled and
landed up sending one man inside.
[Mumbling] I simply lost one
promotion.
[Horn speaker noise from distance]
Hey! Who is that ask
him to remain silent?
Sir. that is Gods chariot.
Since we blocked the road,
They are neither able to go
this way nor that way.
I will take care of it;
you can now leave to station.
[Background]
Sir, we still have to go to Shirdi.
Sir the bomb we have diffused
is a very powerful explosive.
Cyclonite and pure lithium based,
Pure military grade C4 explosive bomb.
This is used to demolish very
large-scale buildings.
Proceed Ram.
Sir the hijackers have C4 explosive.
If we disable the circuit boards
in the bomb and remote,
The bomb will go dead.
There will be no chance for
the bomb to blow.
Then we can strike the hijackers
without any fear.
Is there any chance to do that
without going inside?
Recently the DRDO have converted...
...An Electro Magnetic Pulse Emitter
device into missile format.
If we fire that through a drone
above this building,
-It will destroy the circuits of all
electrical and electronical devices.
Super!
I will speak right away with
Central Government and defence ministry...
...And will make them come
immediately to the spot.
Sir,
but there is one small problem.
Chances are that TV, phones, computer...
...And all data on hard drive
may be destroyed.
If you say yes,
I can go ahead.
No no!
If that is the case then
it is difficult.
We have to lose entire data of
our state agriculture.
Sir.
This building is a very old one.
In fact, it was constructed in
1943 by the British.
There are no technically
advanced privileges.
Only water and sewage connection
have been made recently.
Even electricity connection materials
are very old.
Office has only one entry door.
There are no other exit or
emergency exit points.
Ok now gather information
regarding commercial complex,
...Residential areas and also
the road system.
Yes sir.
Have you checked how equipped
the hijacker is...
...And if she has any
criminal background?
Sir, the team is on it...
...And I have retained another team
right here for emergency.
Good.
Let the first team collect Geethas
information from her FB account.
Based on her phone number,
...Collect her information on
her workplace, Her profession
...And also collect statements
from her family members.
Second team must collect information regarding...
...Who supplies building demolition
explosives to whom in Bangalore
...And if there is anyone with criminal
background amongst them.
Ok Sir.
See, we have to act very
responsible in times like this
But you people come with a mic
and stand and we also blabber something.
But it doesnt work that way.
Things like this happen in system...
And even we have question as to
why they have targeted a
Government Office.
This is something for
everyones thought.
[TV Anchor]
What can we speak about security?
Apart from vidhana soudha
[Assembly house],
...which other Government offices
have any form of security?
Sir I told you long back to give
this womens cheque.
Did you listen to me?
You kept pushing it off aside until now.
Now you suffer.
I know I made a mistake but
I am not the only one
responsible for this.
Before that file reached me,
...The compensation cheque application
got rejected thrice.
What has that got to do with me?
My duty is only to check if
the application is...
...In place and pass it on to
the head clerk, that is it.
I have done my duty right.
I swear on my God.
When the application came to me,
Panchayat development officer had
not mentioned the date.
And land details in the
spot verification report.
So, I sent it for verification to
the case worker.
Even I asked them to give a
fresh application,
Brought the new application...
...And moved the file to
project officer.
That file was with me
only for two weeks.
It is all Nadigers fault.
Hey!!
Since the death certificate
said 78 years,
I assumed it was a natural death
and felt it was a fake application.
So, I put a query on it and moved
the file to verification department.
If file got rejected from there,
what can I do about it?
After I received the fresh application
from the verification department,
I referred it to the treasury and
moved the file to manager.
I did my duty.
I just delayed it for two months,
thats all.
Any files for compensation must
be sent to treasury.
It is government procedure
to give the cheque...
Only after receiving the
clearance from them.
There is an act which says we have
to build the file in the same order.
We have done our duty.
It is not our fault sir.
[Sigh]
All of you only spoke about your jobs
...But dint even mention the demands
You had when my file reached
your table.
You have forgotten the queries
you raised when...
...You realised you wouldnt get
any money from my side,
But I havent forgotten them.
-Hello Geetha.
This is ACP Ram Gopal.
So, you are the official person,
right?
Yes.
From here onwards,
I will be communicating with you.
Let things go smoothly from hereon.
I am in this state because of the
people working in this office.
My life is ruined because of them.
I have to give them a punishment that
they will remember for a lifetime.
-I heard you have some demands.
The entire office staff should be
dismissed from their duties today itself.
The order copy for dismissal must
reach my hands by evening.
If you agree to my demands,
I will release all of them and surrender.
I need some time.
Take as much time as you from
what is available sir
but if you exceed it
Sir why dont you tell her?
What??
This is highly impossible Ram!
Let me talk to the home minister.
[Assembly]
If you cannot protect Government employees,
why do you run the Government?
Submit your resignation and go home.
[SHOUTING]
You have to submit resignation.
-Hon. Chief Minister,
Most of the people who are stuck
inside are from a majority caste.
If you dismiss them,
caste and creed will revolt.
[panting sound]
If you try to escape, will shoot you.
Come on guys.
Geetha is a very nice woman
so is the old man.
She felt there must be an elder
person at home and got him.
..She took care of
him and his needs.
Even the old man doesnt have
any one of his own.
Poor girl,
to receive her compensation money,
She is running up and down to
Government office for months together.
Even her husband is dead.
What must that poor woman do?
Job is no more important than the
lives of people who are stuck their sir.
If they are alive,
they can do a hundred kinds of jobs.
First, they must be dismissed
and avoid any mishap.
Sir,
I swear on my mother that I havent
supplied bombs to anyone.
I only have dynamite licence.
I dont do building demolition.
I only blast boulders in quarry.
Why will I have a bomb like C4?
Your people have mistaken me for
someone else and dragged me here sir.
Then why did you see them and run?
It is two years since I renewed
my dynamite licence.
I thought I will get caught for that
and tried to elope.
-Sir, I checked the papers
...And he has only dynamite and
gunpowder licence.
Moreover, he is not using
lithium chemicals.
He has been arrested once
for one case.
He has no criminal activities
after he was released.
-Sir, please trust my words.
-Please dont set me up in any case.
- I havent done anything.
Sir, please sir...
-Hey!
-Stay quiet.
Sir,
We have collected all information
about hijacker Geetha.
-This is Olympic circle sir.
-Huh
There is a petrol bunk in the corner.
There is a residential area
attached to that.
There is a government hospital
on the other side.
Everything is within 200mts radius.
Lower the drone,
...And see if you can capture any
activity from inside.
It is difficult to send this
drone inside sir.
Rasool...
I need present information on position
of hostages and hijackers.
That is not possible with this drone.
Can we have a mini drone?
Sir..
I doubt we have it in the department.
We may have to organize it privately.
Sir if this Government office is blown,
It will not only harm the people inside
...But even the petrol pump at behind
the building will blast.
If that happens,
then it is a chain explosion.
-There are chances that hundreds
of people may die.
Now the situation is out of
my calculation.
Please try to take some quick
decision on Geethas demands.
I am preparing for the same Ram.
- We will discuss those things.
Yes sir.
[TV News Anchor]
Hostage situation continues.
Government forms emergency committee.
Government employs all means to
solve this legally.
This is government measure to take
expert opinion and proceed.
Yes, tell me.
Chief Accountant is my son-in-law.
If any thing happens,
my daughter will be affected.
I am trying to sort of the matter.
You dont worry.
Sorry for the delay.
Please..
-Can we start?
-Oh yes.
Commissioner Shankar Narayan,
- Advocate General Venkatachalaiah,
IGP Avinash Manphade,
Chief Secretary Sabiha Banu,
Of course State Human Rights Commission
Chair Person Kanika Mehta.
Such an incident has so far not occurred
in any part of the country.
Hence, we are here to discuss....
If there is any other way of treating
this apart from police operation.
Now, instead of pondering over
right and wrongs,
Just to convince the hijacker...
...Why cant we lie that we have
actually dismissed the employees?
-The crisis will be resolved immediately.
She seems educated.
If she gets the slightest doubt
that we are lying,
...It can put life of hostages in danger.
Is government ready for that?
Ok. What we do?
Government officials come under
the Government Employees Service Security Act.
There is no way we can dismiss
them suddenly from work.
According toKarnataka Civil Services Act 1978,
...First we have to suspend them.
We have to subject them
to a department enquiry....
...And when they are proven
guilty even there,
...Only then we can dismiss them
from work.
But it takes time.
However quick you take this forward;
It needs minimum of one and half months.
If you are breaking all those and
want to dismiss them immediately from job,
It will be a clear violation of the
Act and rules.
Now we dont have enough time
to follow enquiry procedures.
We need to concentrate on their lives.
True.
Why not try an operation to capture
them directly?
Situation is very sensitive right now.
We cannot take the risk of capturing.
We have three options.
Option 1 is we have to convince
her somehow and safeguard the employees.
Option 2 is dismissing the employees
as she demanded and capture her live.
Option 3 is to rescue the hostages
through a Police Operation.
But I think Option 3 is very risky.
That may risk the lives of hostages.
We will be violating their
Rights of their life and liberty.
NO!
In this situation,
it is better to follow the first option.
She has to be convinced.
We cannot fulfil everything you
ask immediately.
There are certain legal hurdles.
After they are cleared,
we can punish the guilty.
I think we can proceed with this sir.
But will that girl agree to this?
Let us offer something
else along with it.
Ok.
-Geetha....
-Government has agreed to legally punish
all those people who were unfair to you.
Along with that,
Government has decided to pay
the compensation...
...Money of Two Lakh rupees that
you were supposed to get
...And another Three lakh rupees
for your childs future.
-All this is not something that will happen in a day
-And will take minimum fifteen days.
But you will get the order
copy today itself.
I will make sure.
Does this seem ok to you?
-Dont fear. Come.
[Gunshot]
Fight for justice,
Continues..!
Push off brother!
What to do if someone places
a bomb...
...And if someone is dead or alive?
She has taken peoples
sympathy for granted.
She faced injustice from
government,
...But why did she have to
shoot a common man?
She is least bothered about the
child in her womb.
She has tied a bomb just over that.
As TV is saying,
she must be a terrorist.
It is a waste to show sympathy.
How is the condition doctor?
Is he ok?
Can we do an enquiry?
He is out of danger but
he is still unconscious.
We have to shift him to the
hospital for treatment.
[TV anchor] along with [Whimpering sound]
What is the committee doing out there?
Time is running out.
We have reached life threatening situation.
The police havent done any attempt to
bring the situation under control.
If we can guess,
Geetha Rajappa may be a trained terrorist.
If yes, what is the government doing
to safeguard the citizens?
If she can shoot so accurately
from such a distance,
...Anybody with common sense can
understand what kind of a person she is.
When will our government...
...And police department realise that
we are running out of time?
-I dont know what to say.
I am unable to reach any
decisive conclusion.
-On the other hand,
We have lost the last remaining trust
about the emergency committee.
-If in case she is a trained terrorist or a Naxal,
-It is stupid to be wasting time like this.
-And when the incident has taken
so many twists,
-It is inhuman to be sitting here
and discussing about it.
-True Ms Suchitra,
-Only now, we are truly able to
empathize with the word terrorism.
-If we have to imagine that a common man
is caught and dies this way,
-We can sense fear in every cell of our body.
-For information on this
keep watching News 29.
[Whimpering and sobbing sound]
[Crying in pain]
Everything will be alright my child.
Just a little longer.
Why are you afraid?
Your mother is here.
She is doing all this for you.
[Heavy breathing]
[All hostages chattering]
[Benjamin shouts]
- That lady is here.
Sister, I am not at fault.
Just leave us all or this old
man will be killed.
-Dont come near.
Sister I am telling them,
-She has bomb.
Let us not go close to her.
-Guruswamy, go snatch the gun.
Satish...!
One more information.
If she could shoot so precisely
from a distance,
...It is possible only from a professional.
Geetha, the lady inside,
is not an ordinary woman.
There are all possibilities that
she is a trained terrorist.
What are you staring?
Go and snatch the gun.
-No sir.
Look, Dont comment without knowing complete
information and create panic in public.
Did police department give you any
information that people inside are terrorists?
Or me the chief of this operation
give you any confirmation?
You simply create false information.
Mind your responsibilities.
[Hostages screaming]
[Gunshot]
Whom did you shoot again Geetha?
What is happening?
Please respond.
Geetha what you are doing
is not right.
The path you are taking is
also not right.
-Geetha. hello!
-Geetha please respond. Hello.
-Hello Geetha!
Please respond damn it.
People here dont seem to
have any patience.
-They are trying to escape.
Before I lose patience,
-...Focus on
fulfilling my demands.
Right now,
nothing happened to anyone.
I need confirmation.
Hello hello sir!
Who is speaking?
I am Suhasini.
I hope no one is hurt out there!
No sir,
but we are very afraid.
Please release us from here.
Please sir!
Dont be afraid!
Government is concerned about all of you.
Do not take any hasty decisions.
-Please leave us grandpa...!
It is absolutely ridiculous.
A common man has been shot.
Do we need peace talks with
the hijackers?
It is absolutely needed sir.
It is the only acceptable way of
dealing with this crisis.
Madam,
we do not have time now.
The only option we have in front of us
is to neutralize the hijackers.
No!
She may be a criminal.
But dont have any rights to put the
life of the child she is carrying at risk.
The child has not committed any crime.
The hijackers have not left us with
any option other than that.
In such times,
collateral damage is normal.
How can you speak so casually?
Oh God!
We are running out of time.
We have to resolve this before evening.
Mr. Venkatachalaiah
The articles 311 in our constitution
or Act 1978, both state the same.
A government employee cannot be
dismissed all of a sudden.
We cannot breach our constitution.
But in article 311,
there is an exemption.
See if you can apply it here.
Article 311, Column 2C.
According to situation if President or
Governor feels that....
...For the sake of the state's security, an
enquiry is not necessary,
Then this part is not applicable.
-Why cant we try this?
Ok,
let us present a request to Governor.
Pass the chicken.
What Mr. Doreswamy,
After taking our community support and
becoming the Home Minister,
...You seem to have forgotten us.
In that hijack case, people of
my community are also hostages.
If something happens to them,
then elections are fast approaching.
You dont have to worry;
I am attending to this.
Ok will talk to you again.
Hey we didn't speak to
you about C4 explosives.
How did you get to know? Tell me.
Sir please, I will tell you the truth.
Please...
Sir when I was in Indavala jail,
I became friend with the old man.
He was a very good person.
He was in jail for fourteen years,
for a murder case.
If there were any petty chores
outside the jail,
The jailer would send this old man.
So, whenever he went outside,
he helped deliver medicines to my mother.
When my mother died,
He spoke to Jail superintendent and
recommended parole for me.
After I came out of jail,
I didn't even meet him.
But five days back,
he came along with a woman to seek help.
But I did not know that they
would take that and...
...Attack a government office sir.
I swear on my mother,
I dint know of this.
Please leave me sir.
-There is no use having him
here anymore. Shift him
I was the public prosecutor in
that old mans case.
- In whatever land he had,
he cultivated Ragi and Maize.
The neighbouring land owners
and officials got together,
...Made fake documents and sold
all land including his to bottle factory.
-All his rounds to sub-registrar office
did not help him.
-He poisoned his wife and children
and tried to commit suicide.
His wife and kids died,
he survived.
-Officials got together and framed that
he killed them and turned the case around.
-He received a life imprisonment.
Out of grief, he stopped talking
that day in court and...
-Until today he hasnt uttered a word.
I want this drone to fly
inside the building.
I need some visuals of victims.
Sir even though this is a mini drone,
there will be sound.
Outside it is not that obvious,
but I am not sure about the interior.
The sound may alert the people inside.
It is so easy to blame the
government employees...
...Because we are easily available for
criticism, isnt it?
Even if politicians makes a
thousand mistakes,
...No one questions them because
they are not easily accessible right.
Difficulties come not only to you,
but to us as well.
I have paid 80 lakhs and taken a
Payment seat in medical for my son.
Can I pay off those debts in my
government salary?
If I lose my job, my family and
me will be on the streets.
A wedding hall is booked for
my daughters wedding.
We have spent 20 lakhs for
all arrangements.
If wedding is cancelled now,
her life will be ruined.
Being a woman,
if another girls life is ruined,
...Do you think that is fair?
-Rasool
-Yes sir.
Since the time I joined this job,
I have educated my sisters and
even got them married.
By the time, I got them married off,
I crossed my marriage age.
I am buried deep in debts.
Now if I lose even this job,
I must consume poison and die.
-Madam, please...
Madam, when I paid bribe
and joined this job,
I was 22-year-old.
Every month, I pay
25% of my salary....
...To my manager to make
my job permanent.
-Hey! Nonsense...!
Now I am 37-year-old.
But until now,
my job is not a permanent one.
Many a times I felt,
I must quit this job and sell snacks
on road side and lead a life.
By then,
I fell in love with Suhasini madam.
I tolerated this job so that
I can see her every day.
Madam, it is ok if I lose
my job but please
Let her have her job.
Just let her alone get out
of here please.
[Phone rings]
Sir
I am planning a counter attack.
-Hope we will be able to break in
and rescue the hostages.
I will need your support.
Ok but keep it confidential.
I will inform the
home minister about it.
[Devotional song playing outside]
[Devotional song playing]
I have taken one crore loan
from bank to build a house.
My children are still studying.
They cannot take family responsibilities.
Instead of losing my job and
seeing them all suffer,
I prefer dying here.
Guys move on
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Grand Wedding, bank loan,
house worth a crore,
...You are all really in great difficulty.
Only when you are facing difficulty,
You remember your life, livelihood,
children and parents.
But likewise, have you ever
felt that the people who come...
...To your office also have a life,
...Have difficulties and question
of life and death?
Have you ever realised at least once...
...That because of delay in
getting work done from you,
...People get into trouble
and really suffer?
We have to borrow money
to pay bribe to you people.
We have to pawn our bangles,
earrings and get our work done.
Isnt it?
Fix the inert.
Did we ask you to have more
commitments for your luxury?
Ask again sister.
Hey shut up!
Damn!
Have we made a vow to unofficially
pay you all for your commitments?
You plunder from the working class.
Arent you ashamed?
None of you are fit to be in this job.
Lady..!
These people have troubled you...
...But what have I done?
Your fathers compensation file
did not even reach my table.
I havent taken even a rupee
bribe in my entire service.
I have another year of service.
If I lose my job,
I will not even receive pension.
Is this fair lady?
You are great sir.!
Everyday in front of your eyes,
...They are harassing the people coming
into this office for one
...Or the other reason and yet
you witness it
...And continue to live without
having a heart fail?
They threaten us with a hundred laws,
rules and guidelines
And looting us but you continue to
silently witness it all?
-Come on guys be prepared!
The one who commits a murder
is not the only criminal,
...A person who thinks I am a good
and will not interfere with others affairs
And becomes a witness to it this
murder is also a criminal sir.
Guys come on!
Three
-Two
-Sir there is a bomb on the door.
-Back back back..!
-Is it neccessary to take this risk madam?
-Hey just shoot.
[Reporter on television]
Just now, the police made an attempt
...To attack the hijackers.
Dont know why but they have failed.
Viewers, you are now watching the
visuals of STF exiting the building,
-Exclusively on our channel.
-For more breaking news,
continue watching News 29.
What nonsense is happening here?
Sorry madam.
If you continue to violate the committee
rules and keep taking your own decision,
You will be responsible for the
future mishaps.
You do not understand the pressure
we face being peoples representative.
That is why this decision was made.
But still, I am sorry.
[This cause is not applicable
to the situation]
[Not state security issue.
Appeal is dismissed]
What Mr? Any updates?
-Roll quickly!
-You wont even let me have a tea!
-Are you ready? Give me a cue.
-3..2..1.. ready!
Viewers!
Another breaking news is available.
Hijacker Geetha hasnt
only tied a bomb to her belly,
She has even placed bombs on
the doors of the office.
This woman who has stopped the police....
...From entering is not
an ordinary one.
We dont need any more proofs
to say, she is a trained terrorist.
Along with Camera man Mithun,
this is Sakshi, News 29, Bangalore.
Idiots!!
Ok.
Governor did not agree to our appeal.
He has dismissed it off saying this is
not a case of state security.
What next?
Advocate General is there any strategy?
If the entire system works in...
...Lightning speed and if assembly,
top bureaucrats support,
There is a way.
Tell us in a way we can
understand.
I found a special provision.
I will read it out to you.
See...
If MLAs, Chief Minister send
a special request to Assembly speaker
And request them to dismiss these
employees on the basis of...
Rare and humanitarian basis, by taking
time for discussion,
...Can submit to get this decision approved.
By making sure you get 3/4th support
from the assembly members,
A special order can be passed
for employee removal.
Route clear.
This is not a simple thing.
Such illogical demands to be
agreed by all members...
...And passed through the assembly
is a difficult task.
I hope you know of this
Kandahar hijack case.
To save the lives of 155
Indian citizens,
Government of India ensured to pass
a special order in the Indian parliament
...And released and sent terrorist Masood.
Anyway,
the assembly session is in progress.
We can do it right?
Does anyone have issues
with this option?
No
Ok I will speak this with
the Chief Minister.
-[News reporter]
Now we have a relative who wishes to speak to us.
-Let us hear what she has to say.
-Madam who related to you is
inside this building?
Madam, my husband Dalavayi.
-Madam what do you want to
say about this incident.
-Madam, we are poor people.
- My husband works with ethics
-...And with his earning we are
just managing
...To have three meals a day and
wear decent clothes.
He has never taken even
a rupee of bribe.
My husband is synonymous to God.
She has trapped such a man and
no good can happen to such people.
-She will not die a decent death.
What is your problem I say?
Television is showing the picture
of a girl...
...Who looks like Geetha from
our village.
Called to check if that is her or not.
Its is not like Geetha
it is Geetha.
She is the daughter of
Kelamane Rajappa.
Then why dont you also speak
about her to media.
You will also be seen on TV.
Will you just shut up?
If the police get to know,
they will take me to task.
Why do we need to get
into hassles?
Do whatever you want?
[Media people In chorus]
Sir did you and Geetha come here together?
What do you know about her?
Who else is with her?
Rasool!
No, I dont know anything.
Come aside, come aside.
Sir please spare me sir.
-What have I done that you are
taking me away?
- I beg you.
-I dont know anything.
[Media shouting]
Yes, tell me sir.
If you made up your mind,
...You could have snubbed the police
and taken an interview.
He is such a TRP material.
Damn.!
We are running out of hot updates.
Useless!
What are you even doing out there?
Sir please.
For two hours,
I am struggling to find a rest room.
I am unable to make time.
I will come back and do the news
coverage and talk to you.
Please let me go for loo...
I dont know all that.
I dont want to miss even a
second worth of news. Thats it!
-What is his problem?
-Roll the camera?
-He will not spare us until
he sucks the blood out of us.
Roll the camera.
Wait.
Today whatever I speak here
will be the news.
-Is it ok?
-Yes yes its ok!
-3..2..1.. go!
Your doubts have become
100% true Satish.
This hijacker Geetha...
...Has completed Naxal training
in the forests of Western Ghats.
There is a suspicion that she
was involved with...
...Mandagadde Shubha in the attacks
made on police.
The bomb she has tied around
herself is local made
...And trusted sources say that it may
have been supplied from
...The Sri Lankan militants.
Viewers, she is not the only one.
There are high chances that militant..
Who are brainwashed as
similar human bomb,
...Sleeper cell may carry out serial attacks
in several parts of the state.
[Gunshot]
News 29 reporter Sakshi
must come inside.
I want to give her an interview.
I cant.
I am not going inside sir.
There is no threat to your life.
I assure you.
If you want,
you can speak to Geetha.
Sir
...Because of pressure from Input chief,
I blabbered all rubbish.
I dont want to go inside
and die.
Sakshi!
-You will not get a better
opportunity than this.
You only spoke what this
system thinks about me
I promise you.
I will not harm you.
Come and sit in front of me
for ten minutes.
Tell me what is your story?
First go to wash room.
We can talk later.
Is it ready?
Tell me.
This Geetha, was an ordinary
woman until this morning.
As soon as I demanded justice,
I turned terrorist Geetha
Naxalite Geetha
Human bomb Geetha.
It all seems like a joke.
Let this society call me by
any name
But for myself I am a
farmers daughter.
Daughter of a farmer who,
because of low yield
...And a price so low, would pour
all his crop on the road
And came home crying.
She was a brilliant student but
her father stopped
...Her education and had gotten
her married.
That girl came to city with her husband
and was struggling to lead her life.
Rajappa always remembered this
and would grieve sir.
Once his farm was infested.
He climbed the jack fruit tree to
spray the cow urine
...And neem disinfectant and
slipped.
He sprained a leg.
You fell down
...But had you fallen from a
coconut tree or betel nut tree;
Government would have given 2lakh
rupees compensation.
-Do they pay 2lakh rupees If you
fall from a tree?
-Yes!
Please help me get some money
for hospital expenses.
It is not like that Rajappa.
-They pay only if you fall and die from
coconut tree or betel nut tree.
10,000 rupees for funeral,
...And 2lakh compensation for the family.
This is the new scheme from
Farmer Welfare Department.
It does not apply to you,
leave it.
Are you a farmer only if you fall and
die from a coconut tree?
Will farmers not climb
any other tree?
Dont break your head
about all that.
First get well.
Father fell from the tree
and lost his life.
The husband who promised would
be with me forever,
...Hospitalised because of an accident
...Caused by a road hump
that did not have white strips.
Oh,
The farmers death compensation
scheme file is it?
If you are ready to pay 25% of
the amount as commission,
Your money will reach you in a month.
If not,
It will take a life time of a dog,
But you are not sure that,
you will receive your money.
Rest is left to you.
Do whatever you want.
A country which saw leaders like,
Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia,
today suffers in...
...The hands of bloodsucker
called corruption.
The laws are meant
only for the poor.
Name a corrupt politician or govt. official
who was hanged,
Or has died rotting in jail?
Only students can protect this
country from corruption.
Let us take an oath,
That from today, we will neither
take bribe nor give one.
We will neither
take bribe nor give one.
Here you go,
This is your file number.
In future when they come for enquiry,
you can just quote this number.
What? It got rejected again?
How many times should I write
your compensation file report?
Damn it!
This does not come under my work area.
Take it away.
In station report it says Rajappa and
in spot verification report it says Rajanna.
Get it cleared,
take a fresh report and come back.
File no 91 is it?
Told you long back to post
it to section office.
Sir, which is in downstairs right?
Let me hand it over myself.
All that is procedure.
If you do all our job,
then what are we here for?
There are so many queries in the
PDO spot verification.
Meet the manager and
give him an explanation.
Take it away.
Look,
The Accounts Committee has rejected
all the application out of doubt...
... That there are fake beneficiaries
for compensation.
File a fresh application.
What Ms. Geetha?
You want to take your compensation
in the right way.
Nobody will tell this,
You have to understand this
on your own.
Your new file has reached us.
Should this be sent forward or
should it remain with us?
Sir,
I am urgently in need of money.
If I get this money,
my husbands life will be saved.
I beg you sir.
Please help.
What is this Guruswamy?
This girl seems to be in problem.
Havent you spoken anything?
She doesnt respond to anything sir.
She is always shedding tears.
[whispers]
Is it ok that she is pregnant?
What are you even asking sir?
Not needed.
I thought it will be fun.
If she had received the compensation,
For her fathers death
Sorry...
Those government employees must
be punished.
A pregnant woman and an old man
have got together...
...And challenged the government itself.
They have conveyed a message to not
take the common man for granted.
How corporate system fires
non-performing staff,
...Even government system must
implement this.
Since they have no such fear,
they are all audacious.
Father
Bheemeshwar Pandey,
Commando Chief, NSG.
Only you are sufficient to communicate
with the hijackers.
Team!
You can leave.
[In chorus]
Yes sir!
-Sir, I have something important
to talk to you.
Please come out.
What a spot she has put us into.
Even my situation is the same sir.
Now we have only one option left.
We have to take the assembly into confidence
and suspend these employees.
I think the Cauvery strategy will work.
Will those people agree to this?
We have no other option sir.
Please talk to the opposition
party leader.
Ok I will try.
Sir...
Take positions.
See Mr Devraj,
Whatever differences we may have politically,
When it comes to land, language
and safety issue
We have to face it together.
Only then we can save our image with people.
Beyond that our conflicts
will always exist.
CM sir,
In times like this, our party will
definitely support your decisions.
But I am sceptical that you may
use it to your political benefits.
Not at all! I can give you complete
assurance in this matter.
I will never use this for
political gains.
Ok you will have our support.
-You please stick to your words.
-Geetha if you dont mind,
-I will come out of this crisis and
talk to you on a personal note.
You have all the rights to get justice
for the injustice caused to you,
But you alone cannot change or
win over this system.
That too in this way?
That is impossible.
Sir,
Can you see an old man
sitting in a distance?
Did you notice him?
For the last 317 days,
he has been fighting for justice.
But no one ever paid
any attention to him.
But today,
The entire system is breaking
its head over this incident.
So, this is the best possible
method for the day.
I cannot believe the same Geetha who
in college was full of ideology,
-Has become so violent today.
Sorry...
I did not understand.
Geetha we were NCC batch
mates in EPS college.
But I never expected that I would
meet you in this situation.
[Whimpering]
Just a little longer my dear,
Be a little patient.
Hello...!
Hello Geetha.
- What happened? Speak.
-One second sir.
Hello! What happened Geetha?
Geetha.
Sir, you were
speaking of system.
There are two systems here.
One system that runs the system,
The other is to live within the system.
Both of us grew up in the same system,
...Studied in the same system.
But one system made you the police officer
...And the other system made me
a terrorist.
Is this what you call a system?
Just because we are born,
...We have to survive as long as we are alive.
But this system isnt allowing us to live.
I dont know if such a sick system
will ever get better.
But the system that ruined my life
should receive some treatment
...Or should be punished.
I dont know what this society will think of
this behaviour of mine,
I am not worried about it.
But I want an assurance that my child
will receive some...
....Justice in this society and system.
Geetha! Fight legally.
I will help you.
There is Lokayukta, Anti-Corruption Bureau,
Vigilance Committee.
Tell me one example,
...Where the guilty have been proven
and received punishment.
Honourable Chairman.
This is a grim day in the history
of Karnataka.
The fact that we have come across
such a situation...
...And we have to discuss about it on
an emergency basis is a tragedy.
Let there be a hundred faiths,"
"Let there be a hundred language,"
"We, the people of state, are all one,"
"And we together will strive for the state
We have to follow the poetic words
in this situation
We, as peoples representatives, ethically
take responsibility for todays situation.
For the irresponsible behaviour of the
governing system,
The entire assembly has to witness
this grim incident today.
Since we are running short of time,
I request a verbal voting and request
the assembly to
...Support the dismissal of all the employees
stuck out there.
I have already had enough problems
for trusting your words.
I am not going to go on
trusting you further.
The thing is
Whatever it may.
Their demands must not be met and
neither should that building survive.
Sir the thing is...
If you and I have to survive, just listen
to what I say. Thats it!
Ok sir.
Clear!
Clear!
Clear!
Sir we have reached the door.
Wait for my order. Dont break in. Over
[TV Anchor]
According to hijacker Geethas demands,
...Special rights have been used
to dismiss the government employees
-Geetha as per your demands, the government
has agreed to dismiss the employees.
Please release the hostages.
I will see to it that nothing happens to you.
Government orders are not that easy sir.
I need an official letter.
Send it.
[Media reporters questioning]
In this emergency situation which has
put a threat to lives of people,
...Beyond the Karnataka Civil Services
Act of 1978,
The assembly has given a verbal voting
to dismiss the employees,
All the employees of the Farmer
Welfare Department,
Who are held as hostages, have been
dismissed with effect from now.
I am positive that all the hostages
will be released safely.
[On tv breaking news]
[TV Anchor]
Government attempt to fulfil Geethas demands
...By has now seen another twist.
A stay has been brought over
the governments decision...
...By the Employees Association President
Mr. Srinivas Murthy.
How is it that the government can dismiss
the employees it has appointed at its own will?
The government cannot dismiss our
employees at any cost.
Keeping in interest the future of the employees,
I have brought a stay order.
There are 30 districts in Karnataka,
227 Taluks, hundreds of village panchayat.
-Today she has done,
- Tomorrow another guy will carry machetes, axe
...And threaten one of the gram panchayat
or village panchayat.
-If we fear and start dismissing
everyone from their jobs,
-What will happen to the governing system?
-Government has to capture the hijackers
and punish them.
-Instead of that, it is madness to
dismiss our employees.
-Court also seconds these thoughts.
-There are crores of people
employed in Government job.
-If this situation must not be repeated,
the job and
...Lives of my beloved employee
friends must be safeguarded.
I will only call someone from outside.
We are helpless with the court order.
-We have to take an alternative action.
Are you thinking of committing
a murder now?
For every word do not keep portraying
the government as murderers.
Look if any life is lost,
...Government will be totally responsible
for it. Mind it.
-Sir what is your plan?
-Neutralize.
Sir please dont do that.
Give me permission. I will go inside
and have a word.
-Sorry Sir.
-Sir please. I have to go.
[Geetha shouting in labour pain]
Sir target in sight.
-Take the shot.
-Sir.
Sir she is suffering from labour pain.
I said take the shot.
Its an order.
Negative sir.
I dont have a clear shot of the target.
Move to the next phase of the operation.
[Ram on walkie talkie]
-Geetha whats happening??? Please respond
-Geetha you still have time.
Just surrender.
Are you all humans?
I have been cleaning your chair, floor
and even these toilets.
You have taken this woman through
so much suffering.
You just robbed everyone who
came to office...
...Without knowing their financial difficulties.
When you are eating your meal,
dont you ever remember their miseries?
Instead of working as sweeper in a
place with people like you,
...It is better to beg outside.
Shame on you people!
Highjacker at Gun point.
Hostages are safe sir.
Checking the premises sir
All clear sir.
Its getting complicated,
struggling to defuse.
Timesup, cover the hostages, Quick.
[Hostages shouting]
Sir it is fake bomb!
She is breathing.
Come!!
Hey Benjamin come quickly!
[Doctor]
Watch your step.
Please... please stop
Sorry sir...
I couldnt save Geetha.
We could only save the childs life.

What file is this?
This file has the details of the big shots
who have gulped down peoples money.
It is your responsibility to display
it properly to the public.
