-I want to meet Mr. Andrew. -And the purpose of your visit?
-He wanted a file. -[Man] Which file?
Jai Hind!
[Title Montage]
-Good morning, sir. -Good morning.
Bapu was remembering you.
The British were remembering you too.
My Congress presidency has created troubles for Bapu and the British.
I'm the man who united them.
If I could do the same for India...
That's all I hope for.
Subhash.
But Mr. Bose, Congress?
I'll talk to them.
And Gandhiji?
-You got the papers? -Yes.
Mr. Bose, you sure have style.
Have a seat.
Be seated.
You come strolling into the police station as if it's a park.
-[Darbari] Will you have some snacks or tea? -No.
So what brings you here?
I'm here to put up bail for Benoy's accomplices.
Why?
For years, the Congress encouraged protestors to go to jail.
We want to reverse the trend by freeing the protestors.
But Mr. Bose, how can we let them go? They are rioters.
We've also recovered a pistol from them.
I'm impressed. The British Police are finally learning the law.
This time, you've got a reason too.
Mr. Bose, you aren't behind, are you?
On one hand, you chant the virtues of nonviolence,
but shoot the British in broad daylight on the other.
That's fine.
Benoy didn't shoot anyone in the back.
Unlike the British who stab you in the back.
Get the papers.
Tell me something, Darbari.
Is the law of nonviolence applicable only to Indians?
Did you ever hear a Britisher talking about nonviolence?
Well, I never did.
Matto, get the bail papers.
Mr. Bose, you're making a huge mistake.
This goes against your own values.
Strange! Darbari is lecturing us about values.
Benoy Bandopadhyay's actions are wrong.
You validated his actions with Congress support
and are encouraging violence and brutality!
Do you people seriously believe
that you can bring about revolution
by wearing pristine white clothes and without shedding a drop of blood?
It's hardly a year since you're back from Europe.
Do you even know the ground realities?
Subhash, have you ever taken any advice from anyone?
We all want freedom.
Really?
-You want freedom? -[Man]Yes.
Well, you’ve kept it quite a secret, then.
Benoy Bandopadhyay is an example of what a gigantic failure we are!
What he did is an act of desperation.
How do you plan to achieve freedom?
Do you have a blueprint?
You must have a plan.
Subhash, it won't happen in a day.
How much time will it take?
Six months, a year, five years or ten years?
When will we achieve freedom?
No one has achieved freedom only by talking and meetings.
For freedom, you need a revolution.
All of you are contesting the upcoming elections.
You're forming a government with the British.
There's exchange of money!
The Congress is only interested in forming a government!
They have no interest in freedom!
By the way, it's because of the Congress government that trade unions exist.
It's because of us.
The workers finally got their rights!
And when the same workers were rotting in a prison cell?
What will you do if this government asks you to shoot workers?
Will you support the government or the workers?
Do you know what the Congress is like?
It's like a street dog.
-It neither has a master nor a home! -Mr. Bose!
Save your anger for the British, it will be useful.
Here's your government.
You shouldn't let me out.
Tell me, Mr. Stanley, a war is coming.
What if all Indian soldiers refuse to fight for His Majesty?
Will you dare take on Hitler without us?
Or will you beg us to support him?
Take him.
Did Bose actually say that? That is a threat.
Well, that is what I heard.
And did he say, if someone slaps you once, slap him twice!
No, no. That's... that's just a rumor.
Long time ago, he slapped a professor...
then this whole legend grew out of that unfortunate incident.
Isn't that the complete opposite of what Gandhi said?
Turn the other cheek!
I believe, Bose commands quite a following.
But I like Gandhi.
[Woman] I wish more Indians were like Gandhi, I feel terribly unsafe.
No, there's nothing to worry about.
Bose is well taken care of, for the time being.
-Cheers. -I hope so.
You didn't hear me, you can't get bail that easily.
It requires documents, a lawyer, you have to make rounds of the court.
Mr. Bose cannot be released. You people can leave.
[Bose] Greetings.
What are you doing, Mr. Bose?
Your revolution is spreading like a disease.
But don't you worry, the British are equally irrepressible.
They'll figure out something very soon.
Darbari, you can throw revolutionaries behind bars
but how can you possibly tame our revolution?
Ask Stanley and open an account for me.
For bail, you know.
[Bose] I'll be a regular here.
Here's your confession.
The quicker you sign it,
[Darbari] the quicker you'll get your bail papers ready.
-Why should I sign? -Don't you want to go home?
No.
I want to send the British back to their homes.
Is there any document for that?
Mr. Bose, you shouldn't rub shoulders with these junkies and thieves.
Just sign and leave. What are you doing?
Back in Europe, I learnt a trick, Darbari.
Would you like to see?
Go ahead.
What's your name?
-Anirudh... -Keep quiet.
Is he a revolutionary?
He's a junkie.
-Where is the paper? -[Anirudh] How did you do that?
It's called illusion.
You saw what I wanted to show you.
You couldn't guess what I really wanted to hide.
Mr. Bose, return the paper, please.
Sadly, I didn't learn how to bring it back.
Mr. Bose, it's a government document. Please stop joking.
-Where did it go? -What are you doing? Where is it?
-What are... -You get worried so fast.
You're always after my case.
Kindly sign here and spare me.
I would rather stay in the jail
than sign any papers from the British.
"Better than the world..."
"is my India."
"Better than the world..."
"We are its nightingales"
"and this is our garden."
"Better than the world"
Very good. Very good.
One at a time.
-It's confirmed. -Very nice.
Netaji is alive.
The British are also aware of it.
We have to warn him somehow.
If the British find him, it'll be terrible.
Why? Let them arrest him.
People have made a deserter their God.
Bose can be anything, but he’s not a deserter.
Three years ago, you said
that if Subhash comes back, you'll be the first one to take this to him.
Bose was hounded by the British,
but did the Congress treat him any better?
That's for me?
You may leave.
Yogita, very nice. Dear, thank you.
Come. Come.
Did anyone follow you?
Well, I think I saw Bose in Manchuria.
Don't worry, Mr. Murthy.
-You're quite safe. -The joke's on you Figges.
Bose is alive and he is dangerous.
He's a fugitive, all alone, on the run.
Bose is never alone.
Are you going to kill him?
The British government doesn't share its plans with...
everyone.
As if you could kill him!
We all know what happened the last few times you tried.
Where is the telegram?
The information's right.
We will bring Bose back.
Beware of the mole who can bring down the empire.
Ram Murthy was a mole,
but someone had double crossed him too.
Mohan Singh, Bose's confidant.
The brothers have tipped off the British about Netaji.
The British Army has sent a contingent behind Netaji.
Do not worry. We call on the Ikirio.
Bose will be safe.
Ikirio means Japanese ghost.
According to the Japanese, a living man can also be a ghost.
Mohan Singh couldn't understand what Nakamura was trying to say.
But what happened that day
baffled even the British contingent.
Get him!
Hey.
The Ikirio has protected Bose.
Bose... is safe.
You're not Bose.
Who is Bose?
The man they got hold of was not Bose.
But the man who got away could have been Bose or an imposter.
It was hard to say.
