What?
Am I not looking proper?
You're looking amazing!
Very beautiful.
Let's go and see the wedding procession.
You plan your honeymoon in the meantime.
We will be back soon.
Let's go.
It is my wedding.
Why would you have all the fun?
No, dear.
If you say, we will also celebrate
the wedding night together.
He's your brother and not brother-in-law.
Note that.
- Look, over there.
- No, no, no!
What?
Was that the transformer?
We'll blow up everything!
Get down!
Quick!
Listen carefully, residents of Jehanabad.
The city is under our siege.
Please cooperate with us.
Remain inside your house.
Anybody tries to come out,
will not be spared.
Our fight is with the government.
It's a request. Remain inside your house.
Do not risk your life.
Anybody tries to come out,
will not be spared.
Where were you?
Everyone is waiting for you.
You told me to brew the tea well.
Okay, okay. Now, let's go. Quick.
Greet everybody.
Your parents told us everything about you.
If you have any questions,
you may ask.
Come on, go ahead, dear.
Don't be shy.
You've to spend your entire life with him.
Do you know to drive a car?
He has been driving since he was 14.
His dad had arranged
his license by pulling some plugs.
Tyre?
Do you know to change a tyre?
Done?
Last nut.
Reject the proposal
if you don't want to get married.
But don't embarrass us like this.
Of course, I want to get married.
Call me a son or a daughter.
But I'm your only child, right?
You had wrapped it over jeans?
Smart idea, no?
You got married.
Your mother and her
mother too were married.
Only then I was born.
So, I will also get married.
- Marry and have sex.
- Shut up, shameless girl.
Come on, without sex,
how will your family lineage continue, mom?
Oh yes!
As if you're
concerned about our lineage.
Now, don't be upset.
I won't marry a random dickhead.
You will see. The one I will
get married to, will be unique.
He must be a prince then.
Who knows?
Okay, bye.
I will be late in the evening.
Be here by 6.
6:30.
- Bye, dad.
- Bye.
Get the brakes tightened.
Yes, good you reminded me.
They rejected the proposal, right?
Not exactly.
They will let us know in a couple of days.
I know they will reject it.
She's so late.
There she is. Come faster.
So? Did you spare him or shoot him?
Once again?
This time I punctured his car's tyre.
Oh God! You're too much.
How do you get such ideas?
You know what?
I had wrapped saree over jeans.
Mom was completely shocked.
Aunt will not rest
until she gets you married.
I won't marry until I find my Leonardo.
Where will you find your Leonardo
in Jehanabad?
Unite Against Fascism!

Today, the police filed a charge sheet
in the Gaya-Jehanabad court..
..against Naxal commander Deepak Kumar..
- Withdraw the fake case!
- Withdraw the case!
..active in Gaya-Jehanabad area.
Deepak Kumar was arrested
last month..
..by the Jehanabad police
ahead of the Gaya-Patna highway.
While giving instructions,
the court has asked..
..the Jehanabad police to present
- the evidences till the next hearing.
- Stop here.
Unite Against Fascism!
Roll down the window.
Girls, what are you doing here?
We were going to the college.
Take the route from there.
- Let's go.
- Release Deepak!
Release him! Release him!
Brother,
he was the one who killed our people.
It would have been better
had you transferred him to Patna.
What you want to dust off as dirt,
is holy ash.
Adorn it on your forehead.
Situation is turning tense, sir.
This time if he tries to jailbreak,
we won't arrest him.
We will directly encounter him.
It will be your retirement gift.
I'll leave now?
Jai Hind, sir.
- Suraj Bhaiya..
- Long live!
- Suraj Bhaiya..
- Long live!
What did you bring for lunch today?
Let's get her married?
Yes! Let us!
You are really like it!
This time if I win the
student union election..
..then from the library to the play ground
we will transform everything..
Kasturi.
But for that you will have
to support me and Shibu Babu.
- Long live Shibu Babu.
- What sloganeering today, no?
Today movie night will be at my house.
- Be there on time.
- We won't stay till late evening.
Mom asks me, 'What do you study?'
Tell her, 'we study what
you feel shy to talk about.'
Do you both see the same thing that I see?
Today he has dressed like a zebra for you.
Who is he? Looks new here.
Sorry. I am so sorry. Sorry.
Where's the third year classroom?
- Are you new?
- Yeah, it's my first day here.
What is your name?
Abhimanyu Singh.
Hmm.
Well, Abhimanyu Singh, we don't spare
any new admission without ragging.
But we'll spare you.
- You may go.
- Thank you.
But the third year classroom?
- It's the third room downstairs.
- Thank you.
And listen
If any dickhead tries
to trouble you, tell him
You've given your intro
to Kasturi Mishra.
Okay.
- Let's go.
- He doesn't look like a local from here.
- Don't know. He's a new admission.
- Yes, I've reached.
Let's go.
He's going to come in our class only.
Go, sit behind. Come on, fast.
And you shifted me.
- You went too far with ragging.
- Yes.
Now, you talk.
My name is Abhimanyu Singh.
I'm from Patna.
Patna!
And I will be teaching
you English literature.
Oh no! He turned out to be our teacher.
By the way,
I'm still sitting behind you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Now, that I've introduced myself.
Can I get an introduction from you?
- Amit Shukla.
- Ram Yadav.
- Ayesha Rizwan.
- Dipti Saha!
Hmm. Kasturi Mishra.
Komal Kushwaha.
Shweta Yadav.
Arpita Singh.
And you will ask why doesn't
his poetry speak of..
..dreams and trees and
the great volcanoes of his native land.
Come and see the blood in the streets.
Come and see the blood in the streets.
Come and see the blood
in the streets.
Pablo Neruda
Does anyone know him?
Never mind.
Neruda was a Chilean poet and a diplomat.
He spoke of both,
love and revolution in his poetry.
Love and revolution.
He knew well that war is not the
answer to either of these.
It's imperative to win hearts.
It's important to feel
each other's pain.
It's important to stand by each other.
It's important to raise your voice.
And not just abroad
Even in our country,
there are many poets.
Like Dushyant Kumar.
"Raising an uproar is not my goal."
Have you heard of him - Dushyant Kumar?
"Raising an uproar is not my goal."
"The whole effort is to bring a change."
"If not in my heart, then in yours"
"Wherever it may light,
the fire must alight."
So, go on.
Look for that fire within.
Light it.
Observe your surroundings.
Notice. Peek.
And write it down.
Maybe in the form of poetry or an essay.
Whatever you want.
But do write it down.
Quite possible that there's
a Pablo Neruda amongst us.
End of class.
Was it too much for first day?
No
In the next class, we will read
the love sonnets by Shakespeare.
Okay?
Okay then. Thank you for today,
I will see you. Bye.
Sir.
Sir.. well..
Yes.
Sorry, sir.
I didn't know that you're our sir.
Hope my intro was proper.
Sir?!
Sorry.
Don't be.
It's good to see all of you.
I will see you around.
There Kasturi's wedding is stressful.
Here your attitude is on a high.
It's not attitude, uncle.
We too said the same in our times.
- At least leave that tiffin.
- Okay, sir.
Duty comes first, Tripathi.
Your favourite curry is in here.
Kumud has sent it especially for you.
- Mishra.
- Yes.
These days, I'm suffering
from constipation.
Is it?
Ever since this Deepak Kumar came to jail,
our routine activity is all haywire.
Brother!
These are some books.
Please get these for me
from Gandhi book store, Patna.
It will take 2 to 3 days.
Where will I go in 2-3 days!
Also give me a toothpaste.
- Sonu!
- Yes.
He asked for something.
Give him a toothpaste.
This is toothpowder.
Here it is.
I heard you studied in Delhi.
Yes, I've done Ph. D in Political Science.
Sir!
I'm also graduating
in Political Science.
- Correspondence.
- That's great.
Even after studying so much,
you chose such this path!
Education gave me knowledge.
But that knowledge
was far from the reality I saw.
For so many years,
aren't things working the same?
That's what we are trying to change.
By killing innocents?
Mr. Mishra.
Tell the jailer to take care
of his duties himself.
Turn this off.
- Mom!
- Yes.
- What happened?
- Pick a chit.
What's this?
Just pick one.
That's it. Now, you can go.
Come on.
Mom.
Go fast. I am very hungry.
- Kasturi!
- Yes!
That's it. Now, it's full and final.
Henceforth, I am not your friend.
Now, he's your brother and I am your..
..sister-in-law.
Now, I know. Was this your fair game?!
Kasturi. Kasturi. Kasturi.
All three chits are the same.
Come on, Ayeshu.
I will find you one from your community.
And Dipti, your dad will never agree
to an inter-cast marriage.
So this one is mine.
What if he's married?
Shut up!
- He'll turn.
- No, he won't.
- He will.
- No, he won't.
- I said he will look at me.
- Shut up.
I told you.
Oh.
Wow! He's so good at playing badminton.
He must have trained in it.
I play much better than him.
Let's go.
Wait. He has to come here.
- She has gone mad.
- Shut up.
- Kasturi Mishra.
- See, he remembers my name.
Yes, sir.
Dipti and Ayesha.
Right?
What are you all doing here?
Sir, we were going to the college.
Saw you playing badminton.
So, we stopped.
This route for college?
Carry on.
Kasturi claims that she can defeat you.
Raju!
Anwar!
- Name, please?
- Vijay!
Vijay!
Name, please?
- Hello.
Hello.
- Vijay!
- Radheshyam!
Radheshyam!
Radheshyam!
Rascal! You dare to kill my men?
- Mr fr!
- Hey, leave him.
Catch him.
Catch him.
Leave him.
Hey, leave him.
Let him go. He'll die.
Hey, leave him.
Hey, leave him.
Asshole.
You fr!
Hey, leave him.
- Get up.
- I won't spare you!
Get up.
You!
- Get up.
- Hey.
You'll die!
I will not spare you, Rascal!
You'll die!
You play well.
You just need a little more practice.
Will you teach me?
Do you want to miss your class?
Then, go on.
You also play well.
Thank you.

down until the elections.
We will give it our all, sir.

Dubey, this is good.
Send this across.
Patna Dainik Khabar.
Prabhat Samachar everywhere.
Yes, Mr. Durgesh. What's the news?
The judge is stressing.
That we shift this case to Patna.
I've invited him
for the dinner later.
Jailer Tripathi is fretting, sir.
I will reason with him.
Anything else?
What's the matter?
Anything to worry about?
Jail's atmosphere is volatile, sir.
We can't control the Shakti Sena
people for long.
Basheshar attacked on Deepak.
Tell Basheshar,
this is my personal message.
To stick his ego in his ass.
Deepak shouldn't be harmed even
by an inch..
..until the election. Is that clear?
Stop the car.
See you.
Do come over to my place with family.
Let's go.
- Shibu Babu!
- Long live!
- How do we want our leader to be?
- Like Shibu babu.
- Shibu Babu!
- Long live!
- How do we want our leader to be?
- Like Shibu babu.
Let's go.
Everybody, off to sleep!
It's 8 o'clock.
Why don't you call Dipti over?
It's my turn today.
Wonder what you
all study throughout the night?
Harding, Wilde, Shakespeare. Dickens.
Huh? What?
English literature.
- You won't understand. Bye.
- Okay.
Another flatbread.
Yes, coming.
Hello, sir.
Sir, dad said you're a guest here.
So, mom sent dinner for you.
Don't eat this, sir.
The cook here is drunkard.
God knows how he cooks.
You eat that.
Delicious meal cooked by my mother.
Actually, the cook didn't come today.
I cooked that.
You can even cook?
He can even cook?
That's great.
What happened after that?
Then he took a morsel,
dipped it in the curry.
And ate it.
Then?!
Then..
Then he said, Kasturi Mishra.
Your mom is great.
Get lost!
Call an ambulance!
And send the body for postmortem.
Sir.
Sir, Basheshar is dead.
Deepak.
What you did is not right.
I'm the wisest man alive.
For I know one thing.
That is, I know nothing.
Socrates's thoughts.
He has written these well in this book.
I must say.
So, you know nothing.
Every action has its
pleasures and its price.
This is also Socrates.
Asshole.
Now you will teach us philosophy?
You're alive only because of us.
- Otherwise, in place of Basheshar
- Sir. Sir.
The day I lose my temper,
nobody will be able to save you.
Sir, please.
No meal for him for two days.
Okay, sir.
Sir.. sir..
What have you done?
Call the Ambulance!
Quick! Get the jeep ready. Quick.
Leave it.
Get the jeep ready. Quick.
Rajesh.
Rajesh, quickly get the jeep out.
Rajesh.
Get the jeep out quickly.
You saw that, sir?!
This is how he goes berserk.
And you want me to relax.
No matter how he crazy he is,
why would he slit his own wrist?
Hey, stop!
Yes, sir.
May peace reign over the soul.
May peace reign over the plant.
May peace reign over the medicine.
May peace reign over all present here.
May peace be with the deceased.
Basheshar was like my younger brother.
Let me know if you need anything.
Kill Deepak, sir.
Kill Deepak.
I want revenge.
Yes, sir.
We want revenge.
- We want revenge.
- Yes. Yes.
- What do you think?!
- They are family.
I'm there, be assured.
- Have I ever let you down?
- No, sir.
Your blood is not fueled anymore.
You only care about politics now.
You don't care who lives or dies,
you only care about your position.
We will have our revenge.
- We want revenge.
- Yes.
- What do you say?
- Yes, we want revenge.
- We want revenge.
- Quiet!
Just be quiet!
From here to Patna,
I am slaving for you people.
And you don't even trust me anymore!
Give me your gun.
Come.. come with me.
To hell with the elections
and my position.
Let's go and kill him in the jail.
Come on.
Revenge, Revenge!
Is this child's play?
You need the right
opportunity to take revenge.
Right time and place.
Not like Basheshar,
that you lose temper and
At this time,
we need to unite and stand together.
Understand?
Now, about Deepak
I promise his last rites will
be performed in this very graveyard.
If I fail to do so,
I will renounce everything.
This is Shivanand Singh's promise.
- Shibu Babu!
- Long live!
Please be quiet.
Come.
Make way.
Control room. All clear.
