(Varun)Why don't you understand, I'm the bloody Chief Minister of this state.
I should never have entered politics.
(Gunshots)
Here you are!
You might as well have come at lunchtime.
Lazy bums all of them!
(Announcement on T.V.)
Hurry up Babu, everyone else is waiting to take a bath.
You've woken up late.
You'll be late for school again.
(Singing)
Mother, where is my science book?
Yeah right! Look in the wardrobe...
since you have clothes coming out of your bag.
(Announcement)
Victory to the Bharatsar Rashtravadi Party!
This may be an unmatched record in Indian history that a...
Chief Minister has won a third term with such a huge margin.
We cannot praise our Chief Minister Varun Chadha enough.
Let's welcome him with a huge round of applause.
(Cheering and Applause)
Long live Varun Chadha!
Long live...
(Gunshots)
(Screaming)
Get away!
(Indistinct)
Can you tell us, who's next after Chief Minister Varun Chadha?
- First thing first - an investigation, then we'll see.
- Do you think it'll be Goenka? - Let's see. It'll not be an easy one.
Do you think the opposition is responsible for this?
This where he lives...
Get his father out!
Destroy everything you see!
(Shouting)
(Screaming in Distant)
- What are you doing?
- Who are you? - Why are you beating him?
Haven't you elderly parents of your own?
- Is this what they've taught you? - (Groaning)
I'm not sparing you, I'm pardoning you!
Be grateful.
(Police Siren Wailing)
(Indistinct)
Where do you want to go?
A birthday party?
At 3 o'clock?
Okay. I'll send the Jeep.
Okay.
(Phone Ringing in Other Room)
Yeah come right in, you idiot!
How many times have I told you to knock before you come in!
Do you enjoy seeing me in this state of undress?
You think my legs shine like jewels?
Sir, you always come late.
And I've told you many times to change in the bathroom.
Are you going to order me around?
And you two!
Back here again?
You're going to suck the lifeblood out of me!
Sir, he's stealing my customers.
The last time you told us that neither of...
us will poach each other's customers.
Why is he messing with me?
Sir, I didn't poach anyone.
Now, if he adulterates the alcohol
it's natural that he will lose them.
Adulterating the alcohol? That's your father!
Don't bring my father into this.
Shut up!
(Slapping)
You'll both put my job at stake for your business?
Get one thing clear...
Life's a bitch, slip and you won't get a second chance.
Satbir, lock them up.
Forgive me this time...
Tomorrow present them in court and put them away for the next five days.
Forgive me sir. I made a mistake. I won't repeat it.
Rascals! Besides being illegal...
we let you operate at a risk to our jobs.
To top it, this daily nuisance is getting too much. No more!
Satbir, lock them up.
Some days of prison food should do it.
Sir!
Satbir... - Yes sir.
Pick my kids up from school and drop them to their friend's Birthday party at 3.
Should I get some cake for you?
Go eat some yourself as well.
Good-for-nothings come join the Police.
Hi Jaipal!
Hi Rathore! How are you?
Getting along...
(Sighs)
Did the interrogation lead to results?
It went long and hard. Still he didn't break.
(Chuckles)
But it's been ages since I pounded someone like this.
And still nothing?
No idea what he's up to.
(Laughs)
Don't set lunch for me.
Why not? Are you fasting for your wife?
Nothing of the sort...
My sister has had a baby. I'm going to visit her.
If anyone asks tell them I've gone for a routine traffic check.
- Handle it... - You carry on...
See you later...
Leave it here.
And by 5pm move your stall.
The commissioner will be on his round.
Okay?
Eat now...
lest an order comes that you shouldn't be given a drop of water.
Is it hurting?
I must apologize for really thrashing you like that last night.
I have to really think if I'm going to beat someone.
Who knows if he gets out and comes back for me.
But you can't do that.
You have no chances of being released.
Anyway, eat if you want. Yeah?
Listen...
I must tell you something. This comes from the heart.
Hope no one is listening.
You've made me very happy by killing the CM.
Haven't got a raise in the last seven years.
He's neither sanctioned promotions nor transfers.
Eat when you feel hungry.
Okay?
'Police station darbaaripur, bharatsar'
Hello sir!
And you are back again.
What shall I say, sir. I'm in love with you.
You want to get married to me too?
(Indistinct)
- Hello sir! - Tell me..
That day you saved us from those goons.
- Er... Are you Kuldip's mother? - Yes sir.
- Please let us meet Kuldip once. - No way!
Just this one time.
It won't be possible. He's killed the Chief Minister.
Just for a few minutes. It's my only request to you.
Please understand. My job will be at stake.
Please Officer. Let us meet him for a few minutes.
Not even for a minute. It's the law...
We've come with great hope... he's our only hope and support.
I'll be very grateful...
What are you doing? Please don't.
Please do something, sir...
You must remember something.
Anything at all?
Nothing will come of remaining silent like this.
I don't remember anything. If I did, would I not tell?
But this reason won't save you.
But son, you know it, we know it...
But the cops, the law, the papers, how will we prove it to them?
Has someone threatened you?
Or tempted you...
then tell us.
We don't want anything...
we are happy as we are.
We just want you home.
Mother, don't you understand...?
Please leave...
Inspector! Please take them away.
Don't shout!
Time is up.
This is for you...
Let it be...
There's no need for this.
I know I don't have good looks.
And no woman wants to talk.
But you can surely talk to me.
Here...
Have some tea.
Hold this.
Tell me...
Is Mickey mouse a cat or a dog?
Can't laugh at a joke either?
Okay, at least tell me why you killed him.
Are you part of any terrorist organization?
Political affiliations?
Did you have a grudge against him?
Tell me. Speak up.
I'm yearning to hear your voice.
When you don't believe that I've not killed him...
there's no point in asking me all these questions.
I've given my statement... I don't remember anything.
I didn't kill him...
And nothing came out in the lie detector test.
Many people have identified you as the culprit in a line up.
You might as well confess now.
(Woman) Sister...
(Engine Stops)
Careful with the bag. Don't let it tear.
Sir, I can't believe Kuldip can do such a thing.
Did he have any conflict with anyone?
No, sir.
Once I asked him not to sell the same soap that I sell.
And he instantly agreed without any resistance.
Would you like some tea?
No, I won't have any tea. Just had some at the station.
See you later...
Uncle...
Can you hear me?
Have you seen any antisocial elements...
or people who seemed suspicious around here...
who came to visit Kuldip?
No, sir. I will say only the truth and nothing but the truth...
He didn't have any time to while away.
He used to manage the store on his own.
He had no servant to help at the store either.
In the evenings he would come to chat with us for a bit...
like you are chatting away with us.
- Anything else? - No sir, I swear!
Okay.
Inspector!
I remember one incident now.
Yes?
Once when the Bharatsar Rashtravadi party
organized a protest...
they came to shutter our shops as well.
That was the first time I saw Kuldip angry.
He took on 3-4 of them on his own...
Then?
Then what else was to happen? A fight ensued, he was beaten bad.
Then one of them turned out to be his childhood friend and saved him.
Friend? What friend?
Sir, don't know... I just saw it happen.
I was occupied; else I would have surely gone and helped him.
May I go, sir?
- What's your name? - Sunderlal
Go.
Hari Prasad. Son of Nirmal Prasad.
Number 201, Advocate Baburam.
Do you want a lawyer? I have 12 years of experience.
Theft, murder, land acquisition, rape, encroachment...
registration, investigation, relationship issues.
Sir!
My father is the electrician at work here.
Sir.
I've heard that the government has appointed Parduman
as the defence lawyer on the Chief Minister's murder case.
Unpaid job. He's got ancestral wealth.
Yeah for nothing...
Sir, my client, Bhaktawar Singh...
has had their land acquired illegally.
Under the Public-Private-Partnership mode - PPP...
where everyone else was compensated with 10 lakhs...
but my client was given only 5 lakhs.
Sir, the government uses some parameters to work out land value...
which my colleague here may be unaware of.
Please come back to reality, Parduman. These are not film plots...
I don't watch or care about movies.
Besides there are many other things that a lawyer has to do...
besides sucking up to politicians.
Sir... he's getting personal...
Oh where am I stuck...
Parduman, please... I heard that...
Both of you can go out and sort out your personal differences.
Stick to matters involving the case only.
Here are their thumb impressions...
They were cheated...
And this list is proof of the conspiracy
between politicians and government officials....
They have conducted a physical verification...
All these names are of politicians or their relatives...
First they bought out land from the farmers cheap...
and then announced a land acquisition scheme... - Please...
Shall I take a look at these files?
Yes sir.
I make a personal request...
that the farmers get justice.
Or they too will go down the wrong path of rebellion.
Naxalites and Maoists were also farmers who were wronged.
Here are your documents.
Thank you very much, sir.
Why did you do all this for me?
I don't have anything to give you in return.
I know. This heart is made like this.
Now go home happy.
May your child prosper.
Prosper? What will the little ass do!
Sir.
I will send across the first harvest to you.
Dileep, has your truck been released?
No, sir.
I even took your name there.
It's been three days that I haven't earned anything.
What's his name?
Yadav, I think.
Dial him.
Ghanshyamji, how are you?
So, your son has been pardoned.
Are you happy now?
Here, take this sir.
If I become diabetic, then who will you have here?
It's not for you, sir. It's for your wife and child.
You always refuse to accept anything.
Okay, I'll take it.
(Honking Horn)
My dear little one, you start studying.
They haven't started making shows about sons and fathers-in-law.
And the cricket team will look the same ten years from now as well.
Your father is a lawyer. I'll update you about who's in and out of prison.
What's for dinner?
Chicken with chapattis.
Chicken goes well with flatbreads not with chapattis.
Sit, lets eat.
You've added too many tomatoes. It's become sour.
One should suffice.
(Mobile Phone Ringing)
Yes, this is Parduman.
Who are you?
And how dare you?
Now listen carefully. You want to ruin my dinner?
Here... take down my address...
My name is Parduman Shahpuri. I have a wife and a son.
And I live at 45/3 Ashok Nagar.
Why don't you come? Then I will deal with you.
Come here!
My dear, you can come out now.
Sorry, Parduman.
I got a little late.
My son missed his school bus and I had to drop him to school.
No problem.
How are you?
Chugging along, you tell me.. How are you?
I'm alright...
Will you care for some tea?
Can I get some lemonade?
Satbir, get some lemonade...
(Indistinct)
Shall I introduce you to your client?
Come...
Sure. Lets go.
What are you getting me into?
Yes, you can count on me for that.
But I think there's something amiss.
Those who know him say he couldn't have done something like this.
Oh, Well.
What's his testimony?
What testimony, sir!
"I didn't kill him."
Ramesh...
Open this cell and get a chair too.
Good luck...
Please excuse me...
I'm Parduman Shahpuri.
I've been appointed to defend you.
If you have anything to say in your defence let me know.
If I think it's justifiable I will try my best to reduce your sentence.
I didn't kill him.
I know.
But no one will believe you saying that you didn't kill him.
I have to prove it in court.
So you tell me your whole story.
Listen...
20 kms from the city there's a village
where a chemical plant will come up.
Everyday hundreds of villagers are being robbed of their land.
I'm their only hope.
All other lawyers just loot them.
Sir...
You should go and get back farmers their land.
Mine is a long story...
And besides no one can change my fate.
I will change your fate!
My name is Parduman Shahpuri...
Now that I am here...
you might as well tell me.
I'll think of it as a day off.
Tell me...
Your father is losing it.
Everyday he comes back dirtying his clothes.
I'm left washing them all day!
He may look like a horse...
but he has the brains of a mule!
Tell him to do one small job and he can't remember it.
Half of which he doesn't do.
Wonder what's restraining him that it's a drudge.
You wouldn't have brought half the stuff today as well.
Shouldn't there be some left for tomorrow?
There are some things you don't get around here.
Don't you understand?
Instead of mint, put coriander, chilli - it's green anyway!
Look at that... lazy bum! “It's green anyway!”
(Groans)
Be careful.
You shut up!
Why don't you fuel up the rickshaw with kerosene?
Then let's see if you will make it back.
(Sighs)
Get away.
Youth has left you but not the randiness.
Listen...
Reservations will be brought in...
otherwise many students will ruin their lives in poverty.
I will not change my decision about this.
But we don't have the desired funds yet...
Which is why we will implement this based on their caste.
(Phone Ringing)
Sir...
I've given my exam for the administrative office a couple of months ago.
Sir!
Yes, what did you say?
I've given my exam for the administrative office a couple of months ago.
I've scored well too.
Yes, so?
Last year people who scored this much got a higher position.
I haven't heard from the department yet.
Did you take it from the general quota?
Yes, sir.
They've increased the number of reserved seats for
scheduled castes, tribes and other backward classes.
Nirmalji, how long will it be for the Revenue officer's list to come out?
(Man) It's in front of you.
This is unfair!
Listen, if you want to discuss what is right and wrong...
you should talk to the government.
They make the rules. We are merely implementing them.
(Singing)
(Humming)
Here...
Here you go.
Let me know about the expenses from now on.
And you start drinking juices instead of alcohol.
And watch out If I see you in the same sari again...
Now you don't need to drive a rickshaw anymore.
You are getting older and your eyesight is also not as sharp.
Chill at home from tomorrow.
I'm very happy that you are telling me all this...
but don't ask me not to work.
Keep me away from home...
Or I'll go brain dead being at home with you mother all the time.
What did you say?
Nothing. Just some boy talk.
See... this is your home now...
Go on... take a look...
Why are you all silent? Start singing...
(Singing)
Dance.
You too.
(Singing)
Let's see how the government addresses this menace.
Commissioner, there are too many accidents on the road.
Please tell your officers that if I see another hawker's stall...
I will suspend them...
Get your stall out of here.
Why, sir?
Why?
Cause we've got orders to clear up.
Where should I set it then?
No where.
If you want to sell your wares, open a store.
Don't argue.
Sir, I haven't earned anything since morning.
Take some onions, these tomatoes... a half kilo?
They are a 150 rupees these days.
Put a 100-rupee note in with these tomatoes.
100... sir, a little less?
Won't a 50 do?
Listen to me...
Quick.
Listen...
Move your stall for now.
Bring it back in half an hour after we've left.
Okay, sir.
- Come... get your stall out of here... - (Bell Ringing)
Enough.
Didn't I ask you to bring masala powder?
I'm talking to you.
What?
Masala powder?
Oh, it slipped my mind.
I'll bring it...
Both father and son look alike and are useless alike!
I'll get it, mother, from Shahi bazaar.
I know it is a little away.
But I'll take the bus and go.
Beside we have nothing to do but sleep during the day.
I'll come with you.
What if you get some spoilt masala.
Not today, I'm too tired. Tomorrow...
You are ready to leave?
Why didn't you wake me up?
For what?
Don't go without eating something. And I have to make your tiffin.
Let it be...
Relax... you do so much work...
My dear, afternoon till evening there won't be any customers.
Please don't go without eating something.
Okay. Make me some chapattis I'll get something to go with it at the restaurant.
It's almost done.
- The dogs have come. Sir! - Come on move it...
Move your stall from here.
But you said...
Get out of here. Nothing will work today.
Sir, take another 20 rupees...
Can't you understand?
Get out of here...
Shall I come back in an hour?
I should not see your stall from today.
Or else I will give it you good...
Three traffic policemen have been suspended since morning...
You're going to put my job at stake.
Make a move... there's your big daddy at the back...
(Honking Horn)
What's to eat?
Paneer, chickpea masala, spinach masala, potatoes in vegetarian...
Tandoori chicken, kebabs in non vegetarian.
What shall I get?
I'll tell you.
Why call me when you are unsure!
You are asking for money from your parents...
shamelessly at this age too.
You are pawning our ancestral jewellery.
Congratulations on your new birth!
New birth?
I mean for the opening of your shop!
Now that the car has started...
Now you maintain the speed...
Everything is not a rickshaw...
Yes, but you run this nice and long.
Father, give mother a sweet.
Have... something sweet...
You'll say something sweet then.
(Laughing)
What's with the commotion now?
What's she craving for now?
(Gasps)
Congratulations! You have twins.
Twins!
One boy and girl.
Congratulations!
No, please don't.
- Thank you. - It's okay.
It's okay...
Get sweets...
Is my daughter-in-law okay?
All of them okay...
Everything is fine... enjoy...
- Congratulations! - Thank you.
Okay.
That's good.
You've done a great job!
Twins!
One plus one free!
His eyes resemble my grandfather.
Your grandfather died five years before Kuldip was born.
Yes. This is him, returned.
Look.
I've informed your father and mother. They were very happy.
They are coming by the 11 o'clock train.
Fine?
(Nurse)Mr. Kuldip, I need to speak to you.
Please come here...
What happened?
Please come with me.
Sir, the children need to be put on ventilators now.
Yes, okay.
Sir, all the ventilators are in use right now.
We don't have any available.
What are you saying, madam?
We called the other government hospitals in the city to check.
But they didn't have any extra available right now.
We need to put the babies on the ventilator within the next three hours or else...
Or else?
We might not be able to save them.
You can try taking them to a private hospital.
you will get ventilators there...
But they charge more.
How much will it cost?
It will be difficult to tell... but it will be a little more...
but you should get ventilators there.
Where is it?
There's a hospital close by... you can try there...
You...
I am sorry, Kuldipji.
If you don't have them, then why did you admit us...
Complete your procedures...
I'm really sorry... they are not available right now...
- About 3 hours? - Within 2-3 hours, sir.
Thank you, sir...
(Honking Horn)
(Continous Horn Honking)
Hey, what happened?
Why don't you move ahead?
It's a jam since the last twenty minutes.
Where to move?
Take it a little ahead...
Since twenty minutes?
Father you stay here, I'll come in a jiffy.
Friend, can I borrow your cycle? I need to save my children...
This is my father... Father, please talk to him...
Sir.
Sir, please clear this traffic.
I have to take my children to the hospital.
This will take time... The Chief Minister is coming.
Sir, I have to take them and go, else they will not survive.
Please do something, sir.
(Siren Wailing)
Doctor, please do something!
I've come a long way running... please save them.
You're my last hope.
Look...
I am in a fix as well.
If we remove even one of them... one's life is another's death.
Please don't say that doctor!
Sir...
Doctor... please...
Please do something doctor...
They stopped breathing.
I am sorry.
They are dead?
(Wailing)
My dear...
How much?
200 rupees.
That's too much!
Are you kidding me?
It's the government that is joking with us.
We just know how to sell!
Check the newspapers, it's 100 rupees per kilo of onions.
Here, take your 100 rupees.
Are you buying or selling?
Here...
Have you read this news?
The government is allowing foreign investments... FDI...
Now there will be big shopping malls.
And our shops will have to be shut.
The centre is against it.
But this Varun Chadha is against us.
The city is being shut down in protest.
(Shouting)
Shut you shops...
Down that shutter...
- Down that shutter... - (Indistinct)
Down... quick...
In two minutes...
Give me one.
Hey mister! Don't you understand?
Today the whole state will remain shut. Shut the shop!
Stop it!
What the hell is happening here?
Which bollywood hero got into you?
That you went on to fight with a dozen men?
What's your name? Kuldip?
Kuldip Khan? Kuldip Kapoor?
Patwal...
What?
Patwal...
Kuldip Patwal?
Idiots!
This is my childhood buddy!
Kuldip!
It's me Jitu, Jitu Kumar...
Don't you remember me buddy?
You idiots! This guy you hit is one of ours...
Go and get him treated at a good hospital nearby.
- Pick him up - Get up...
Asshole!
Did you not hear me? He's a very good friend of mine.
Get away...
Come...
Why are you standing here? Start the car...
Oh good Lord, what happened to you?
Nothing...
Will you tell me?
Ah nothing dear...
You are hurt badly! Tell me...
I met with a small accident...
- A small accident? - (Groans)
Carefully...
A car was coming towards me and...
I started walking towards it thinking it will take a turn...
the driver must have thought that's the mighty Kuldip...
and nothing will happen to him so he rammed into me.
Oh is his car fine, dear?
Oh, with God's grace, yes!
Why don't you just join us?
But, I will never do this kind of work.
All your life you'll be at the receiving end of the stick...
"I will never do this kind of work."
No one has benefited by being a good Samaritan.
And listen..
There's no better feeling than revenge.
(Motorcycle Revving)
This is only to threaten people, not to fire.
Then don't give it to me.
Why?
I fear I may use it to kill someone.
Kill whom?
(People Hailing)
That's it... I don't remember anything after that.
You don't remember? How is that?
Kuldip... something must have happened...
Sir...
Are you Kuldip Patwal?
Mrs. Simrat Varun Chadha.
District Attorney... representing the Prosecution...
State versus Kuldip Patwal.
The noose for... Kuldip Patwal!
If anyone comes in the way, push them away and move on.
Got it?
Varun Chadha... lives forever!
Let's move.
The noose for... Kuldip Patwal!
(Indistinct)
Satbir... open them.
Hello Mr. Parduman...
All the best!
Won't you stay for the trial?
Not today sir. There's a strike on... bank employees. Have to be there.
The demands of this job!
All these duties have been made my responsibility.
- I'll take your leave... - Okay...
Let's go, Satbir.
How are you?
Don't worry. Just say the truth.
And don't say anything you've not told me.
Is everybody here?
Reader...
Case: Kuldip Patwal versus State of Bharatsar, 2013.
On the 18th September, 2013, at the Youth rally of the Rashtravadi Party...
its own party worker Kuldip Patwal is accused of firing at the...
state's Chief Minister Varun Chadha
in the morning at 9 hours 27 minutes and killing him.
The hearing for this case begins today.
Prosecution is represented by Mrs. Simrat Chadha...
District Attorney... My condolences, madam.
Defence is Mr. Parduman Shahpuri.
Mr. Parduman...
I have heard a lot about you.
Your contribution in representing the underprivileged is commendable.
Thank you, madam. Thank you!
It's like this...
Since God cannot be everywhere all the time...
He sends me there.
Thank you for you modesty...
The case might look easy and conclusive...
but how it's effectively fought with evidence...
will determine my judgement on it.
Mr. Kuldip Patwal - How do you plead?
Not guilty, madam.
Prosecution, please proceed.
Thank you, your honour...
Before I begin I would like to elaborate upon the reader's statement.
On the 18th of September, 2013, at the meet of the Rashtravadi Party...
in full consciousness... Kuldip Patwal...
is accused of assassinating the state's Chief Minister Varun Chadha...
in broad daylight.
In his testimony, he has not mentioned of the involvement of any terrorist group...
neither any political party nor any insurgent group or association.
Nothing!
In fact, he states that he's not even seen...
Varun Chadha except seeing him on posters and newspapers.
This is a clear-cut case.
I would like to present - eye witnesses...
live footage which has been shot by a TV crew...
and some facts from the accused's past.
I will present all the exhibits in order with which...
I will prove that the accused deserves the most stringent punishment.
That is with my opening, Judge. Thank you.
Defence...
Thank you, madam.
The Prosecution seems to be in a hurry to have the accused punished...
and may not have read the whole testimony.
Kuldip killing Varun...
is merely a story that has been made based on his silence.
The defence will prove that...
Kuldip is a victim of the systematic politics to eliminate the poor.
(Grunts)
I do not wish to preach anything here.
But it's a fact...
get the poor embroiled in paperwork and procedures.
Bound them with taxes and laws.
Eliminate the poor.
This country now remains only for the rich.
Every minister owns assets worth millions. Who will track all that?
Which salary can help you save up so much?
I will prove that India is becoming a capitalist state.
No one fears the law anymore.
The rich give 10 crores in bribe to win a 100 crore project.
Corporates give a 1000 crore to win a 10,000 crore contract.
And politicians just weigh the size of these contracts.
2G, 3G, CWG are all opportunities for them split the monies.
The poor can barely eat a full meal.
And politicians claim that you can get a meal for 30-35 rupees.
A meal for 30-35 rupees!
Is it?
Hear that!
Kuldip is a common man.
Why would a common man want to do something so sensational?
This a killing of an ideology...
of politicking. Not of a person.
I will bring all this out to the fore, madam.
All this is fine, but stick to the case and don't stray.
Yes, madam.
Every Indian wishes that they could kill one of these...
big politicians at some time or the other.
Probably something people of every nation would feel.
(Throat Clearing)
Twelve years ago when the Rashtravadi Party...
came to power and when the 28 year old...
Varun Chadha became the Chief Minister of Bharatsar.
I wondered why someone like Varun Chadha got into Politics.
Someone who comes from an affluent background,
a Business School of Economics alumnus...
Why would he enter politics?
Looking over his 12 year rule... I find the answers to all my questions.
Mr. Varun Chadha enters politics to help fill his own bank accounts
and that of his friends.
- That's all your honour. - I strongly object your honour.
Mr. Shahpuri is making baseless charges...
Moreover the defence is violating court procedure...
Mr. Shahpuri, please keep it brief.
Please allow the prosecution to start the proceedings.
How can you just start defending?
And submit evidences of your claims.
Or else, objection sustained.
I was only explaining the motive.
How can one provide evidence for ambition?
'Bharatsar nationalist party'
Our agenda is to...
Who is this Englishman in our party?
Who has made this manifesto?
Sir, I did.
Oh... our youth leader, Varun Chadha!
Village folk barely understand Hindi, how will they understand English?
Sir, this is not for the villagers.
What kind of people does Mr. Joshi bring on into the party?
Silence, everyone!
There's a difference between tactics and numbers...
What is it that you want to achieve?
In every election we have won over village and small town folk easily.
Your speeches does the job very well.
Now to put the same thing in the manifesto would not make a difference...
It's an unnecessary expense.
I have decided to distribute them to firms...
large and small corporates and institutions...
But these people don't even vote.
I agree.
Which is why I've explained the benefits of voting...
right in the beginning of the manifesto.
Trust me.
If we study our old manifestos, exit polls...
the voting percentages and analyse them...
we will win by a huge margin if we get these extra votes.
And if this scheme does not work?
If we lose the elections?
Then I will quit the party.
Incredible!
Mr. Joshi... did you hear that?
He will compensate for the loss of our income from the next term...
with his resignation!
Coming from an affluent family...
you thought, let's play politics for fun?
You found only our party for these adventures?
Mr. Goenka... please...
Varun...
Act as per this plan. But...
this is a temporary approval.
Okay...
Sir, did you call for me?
Yes, Varun... come...
Have a seat...
And how is it going, Varun?
All good, sir...
Great. Sit.
Have you spoken to Ramesh?
What happened?
Why are you slacking on this?
Sir, you have given me much support. And I'm grateful.
But to meet a person like him...
What kind of person?
Varun, come back to Earth.
We cannot campaign without funds.
There are other ways. I'm trying to arrange...
This is not the time to try.
I want results on this.
No excuses.
Okay.
Tell me... How can you help me profit?
I'm more interested in exemptions though.
How can we do that, sir?
There's a huge queue for exemptions.
Declare a small window...
Let me do the numbers...
I can get you government issued bonds...
with the interest that a long term maturity bond enjoys.
That's a good deal...
Can you put it in writing?
Trust me a little, Mr. Agarwal.
Get me a monthly percentage of a 500 crore...
What's better than that?
There are many government aided schemes...
on which cash can be given against interest.
10-12% comes in that way!
Brilliant... Varun!
Will you have some tea or coffee?
Coffee.
Okay.
Take it.
There's a lot of money. You can have it.
But remember, Varun...
You know what's written on the courier packages?
Tracking number.
My money has my tracking number on it.
Wherever it goes, it tracks me back and comes home...
Return to sender!
(Laughing)
Mr. Agarwal, I've come to talk business.
For as much as I've taken from you...
I'll return many times over.
Our report cards have no red ink on them.
But you know... terms and conditions...
Did you say you'll have tea?
Coffee.
Send in a coffee!
I would request the court to permit me to present the witnesses.
Come on Mrs. Simrat, we are waiting!
Thank you, your honour.
I have many eyewitnesses.
Here's the list of people who were present at the location.
And these are their testimonies.
Judge, my first witness... Sushil Parwana.
The shot was fired from my right.
(Gunshots)
A news channel crew also has footage from this POV.
Defence...
(Clearing Throat)
Did you see Kuldip shoot?
No... but...
Ah... but...
You tell me did you see Kuldip shoot or did you not?
No, sir!
I didn't see him shoot.
But the police had caught him and was taking him away.
But you just mentioned that you saw him shoot.
Oh... but...
I don't know what to say.
This is why I told you I don't want to give witness.
Judge, this is totally unacceptable.
He had confirmed to me many times that he has witnessed it.
He's a hostile witness, Judge.
Yes madam, it was him.
I saw him.
Where were you standing?
Where everyone else was standing.
But the shot was fired from close to the stage.
Did you see it from so far?
I object, your honour.
What kind of silly questions is the defence posing.
I mean... You tell me...
Why would the police nab Kuldip from amongst all those present?
I saw the CM get shot...
I went up to him...
And I shielded him.
Inconclusive.
The shot was fired from close to my right shoulder.
And the person who was standing to your right... is he in court right now?
- Yes, madam. - Can you identify him?
Yes, of course.
Please tell us.
The shot was fired from so close...
you would heard the sound...
and would have got scared.
Did you see Kuldip?
Yes, I heard the sound, got scared and...
Absolutely ridiculous.
The shot was fired from there... Don't blur the fact counsel.
Sustained and noted.
Have you studied the angle of the shot?
Yes, madam.
Can you please tell us.
Yes, sure.
The angle of the shot was the same as the position of the witness.
Thank you.
Counsel.
No questions, madam...
Your name?
My name is John Mascarenhas.
What do you do?
I'm in the forensic department... DNA specialist.
Right... explain...
The finger prints and DNA found on the gun match with that of the accused.
Counsel.
If the gun has fallen down will the DNA and fingerprints still match?
Any possibility of bacteria, flora mixing?
Human DNA is unique... we use the RFLP technique...
Will they match a 100 percent?
Almost.
Let's not be vague...
I object, your honour.
Now the defence wants everything to be precise.
- Absolutely. - What?
Under the circumstances of the event where is the scope for accuracy?
It is a matter of life and death. Accuracy is required.
Overruled.
Mr. Joshi, this time around things look a little different.
The numbers are not adding up in your favour.
Why?
As far as I know...
The opposition has put up
his son's candidature instead of his own.
Yes, I know...
- Shailendra? - Yes.
How does that matter?
Mr. Joshi... You can't ignore that...
There's a youth wave...
It's a time to bring in the next generation.
An educated youth has better chances for success...
And the healthcare scam you were connected with is still in the news.
Mr. Sinha...
Move...
(Indistinct Chattering)
I've not seen such anxiety even when election results are about to be announced.
Let's not test your patience further.
But before I announce the candidate I would like to tell you...
we have decided to appoint a youth leader for the candidature.
(Indistinct)
Over with the wait...
For the upcoming elections...
the party will be represented by...
none other than...
Varun Chadha.
(Cheering)
We are moving away from tradition.
This is Bharat...
This won't do!
Who do you think will these elections?
It's a tough one.
It's neck to neck.
The Hindustani Party has won 220 votes.
- BRP is following right behind. - That's a sudden jump in the BRP numbers!
The Rashravadi Party has won the elections!
(Cheering)
Congratulations!
We've won!
It's a time to celebrate!
(Clearing Throat)
- Congratulations Mr. Chadha! - Thank you. God bless you!
It doesn't matter if it's your money or my money.
I just don't like to waste money.
What's gotten into you?
Why are you behaving like this?
Why can't you understand...
I'm the bloody Chief Minister of this state.
Where over a million people don't get a meal a day.
And you've blown a million on a meal?
I am sorry!
I am sorry, too.
(Telephone Ringing)
Yes, Mr. Agarwal.
Those papers haven't come yet.
I'll show them to you as they come.
But before I show them to you I have to show them to our secretary.
I am going to order lentils.
What will you have?
You make this at home also.
Try something new.
Tandoori Chicken.
Yes, sir.
Tell me...
Is your chicken slaughtered halal or straight-cut normally?
Halal, sir.
Don't you keep chicken cut up quickly?
No, sir.
Why not?
Then why don't you write it here on the menu?
Do you have palak paneer? - Yes, sir.
Get it.
You don't know this...
He has ruined my life...
Now his life is in my hands.
If I open my hands...
he will be freed of this life.
Free!
Sir, the bill.
Why have you added service charges to the bill?
Sir, we add it.
And for what is it?
It's to be charged when the service is good.
You leave it to me to decide.
Are there any issues, sir?
The matter is that service charge is optional.
It's up to me if I want to pay or not.
But we charge that for the service we render.
Absolutely, Dhyan Chand!
But shouldn't you ask the customer first...
If they liked the service or didn't?
I won't pay the service charge.
If you have a problem with it, sue me.
I sit at the session court.
My name is Parduman Shahpuri.
Come anytime.
Sleep will hinder, so will Pushpinder.
Pushpinder, are you coming?
Let it go.
Mr. Parduman, you were talking about reservation before lunch.
Madam...
I was saying that...
Kuldip had an opportunity to give himself...
and his parents a good life.
He had worked hard to clear the administrative office exams.
He and many others like him
from the 'general' category...
were deprived of the chance to get the job.
In an overpopulated country like ours...
unemployment can undoubtedly discourage the youth.
many go down the wrong path...
Not with a sense of displeasure...
but with a sense of curiosity I would like to ask Mrs. Simrat...
when we who are educated from government schools are aware of...
the consequences of caste based reservations...
then how is it that Varun Chadha failed to understand this?
(Drum Beating)
(Indistinctly Singing)
These people still perform and earn a living.
For the others survival itself is a challenge...
going to school is unimaginable.
But free and compulsory education was mandated in every village.
And now I've started the mid-day meal program as well.
Then why is it a problem?
Sir, free and compulsory...
education is only till they are 14.
After that there are many fees - exam fees...
entrance fees...
college tuition...
How will they be able to afford them?
Because of this many people don't send their kids to school.
The fees in government institutions are low.
Children from villages do get admission in them.
Living in a village doesn't mean that they are poor.
There are rich people even in villages.
These performers for instance...
make about 70-80 rupees a day.
But the IIT entrance form costs 1000 rupees.
Free education for schedule castes and tribes.
Schedule?
We've made free education available for everyone.
Only till 14 years of age... right?
Who are you referring to?
A new proposal?
Yes.
For students of lower castes and tribes.
From graduation till post graduation...
they will have to bear no fees...
for any kind of exam...
whether it is tuition fees, books, uniforms or exam forms.
The state government will bear all expenses.
That's ridiculous.
I understand you are highly educated...
but we need to be practical about this.
Where will the funds for this come from?
The central government will not support this...
Right.
I want to implement this at the earliest.
If we are to depend on the central government...
it will take forever.
About 40% of the funding will come from Medic India Pharmaceuticals.
I've spoken to their MD through Ramesh Agarwal...
Gear Automobiles wanted to...
set up their plant in our neighbouring state...
but the communist parties protested.
We will give them permission to set up here.
on such land where we won't have to displace a single citizen.
20% of the funding will come from them.
We will not need to draw funds from the state exchequer.
For the rest we will raise taxes by 30-36 percent...
on private companies...
But only on companies that make over 50 percent profits.
And for the rest we will cut 1% from...
the monthly salaries of all state government employees.
This will not affect them much.
For someone who earns 7000 rupees...
a 70 rupee deduction will not matter much.
This is a ridiculous idea, Varun.
In the last five years we have not given them a raise...
a cut in their salary will upset them.
Everyone's contribution is required for the state's progress.
Are you aware that a large part of our population is...
still in the same state as it was before independence.
I'm not asking you all. I'm telling you.
Otherwise this discussion will never end.
I will explain the details of this scheme by tomorrow evening.
Why didn't you object to it?
Why are you getting worried?
Have some water.
What else should I do?
This new kid comes and dictates his terms.
Has he forgotten that we have got him here.
He should be grateful...
it's because of his father-in-law's request that we kept him...
Calm down, calm down.
He's not dictated his way, but given us the key to a lot of wealth.
Let's do as he says.
He's not going to check at every school...
nor is any student going to come here and complain.
It's been so long now that you are in politics.
Figure some of these things yourself by now.
Do you want me to explain everything to you?
For a few months make a lot of noise around it.
Then after that the monies will come into the party fund.
This is a key to fame and fortune together.
(Gasps)
But you don't get it, Mr. Joshi.
There's plenty coming our way.
We've already made plenty with his mid-day meal scheme.
But how will we explain it to the government employees?
What about them?
Have you forgotten?
Remember how furious they were...
when we cut a small percent of their salary?
The one for the mid-day meal scheme?
Yes.
I'm bringing it to your notice,
it'll be big trouble.
Now we are repeating it again.
Please stop him from doing it.
(Tense Music)
Varun...
(Goenka)"That's ridiculous."
"I understand you are highly educated..."
"but we need to be practical about this."
"Where will the funds for this come from?"
Simrat! What are you doing?
Can you not see I'm thinking?
I just need some space, okay!
Next time put up a sign with your state of mind.
I will behave accordingly.
Listen...
Reservations will be brought in...
otherwise many students will ruin their lives in poverty.
I will not change my decision about this.
But we don't have the desired funds yet...
Which is why we will implement this based on their caste.
(Cheering)
- Did you take it from the general quota? - Yes, sir.
They've increased the number of reserved seats for
scheduled castes, tribes and other backward classes.
Sir, this is unfair.
Listen, if you want to discuss what is right and wrong...
you should talk to the government.
They make the rules.
Uncle, I've got a job here.
Now get ready to salute me.
Yes?
(Chuckles)
Kuldip! How is it going?
As usual... How about you?
What else was to happen...
I have topped in the SC category.
I got that administrative officer's job.
Hadn't your name also come on the list?
The general quota has limited seats.
You don't listen, when I was telling you to make that scheduled caste certificate.
But no! You want it your way...
Listen... I've got a job now...
take some money from me for your expenses...
I'll also arrange something for you.
Okay?
You'll arrange things for me?
Why, sure! You are my friend.
You've lost it...
What's happening here?
(Shouting)
Sir, he beat him up.
I saw it myself...
Why are you lying, uncle?
You hit him on the head and he's bleeding...
and to top it you want false testimony?
No sir, he hit me first.
He hit you? Come I'll show you...
Please listen to me...
Down with... Varun Chadha!
- Down with... Varun Chadha! - (Car Honking)
Go inside...
They've blocked the gate...what can I do?
It's okay... I'll call them once we get inside.
Take the car ahead.
Inside the gate...
Down with... Varun Chadha!
(Indistinct)
Come, let's hurry.
Come.
(News Running on T.V.)
Let's see how the government addresses this menace.
(News Running on T.V.)
Commissioner, there are too many accidents on the road.
Please tell your officers that if I see another hawker's stall...
I will suspend them...
Yes.
Jai Hind!
Hello...
Hi, uncle Joshi
How are you?
Thought I'd talk to my dearest...
I'm fine. How are you?
I've heard you and Varun...
Sorry uncle, I don't want to talk about it.
No problem...
Tell me something...
Your father was in politics...
now your husband...
Don't you feel like getting involved?
Varun is already in.
(Telephone Ringing)
Hello... Goenka?
Simrat, I'll call you later.
(Simrat)Okay... bye, uncle.
Hello... yes.
Not having the ventilators replaced in time...
was a criminal act and a lapse of duty...
Wasn't his government slacking that they did not...
inquire into the non- availability of ventilators?
Varun was unable to act against that minister
because of some political pressures...
He had some differences with some party members.
They didn't like that he was chosen for the Chief Minister's post.
Why did he take the blame?
Why did he not suspend the health minister?
He should have set up a time bound inquiry.
What would have happened with a suspension?
This is no solution... one mistake and you are fired.
Who all will you suspend?
Even if it meant that lives be lost?
Who lost their life?
I'll tell you who...
(Indistinct)
Calm down Kuldip. Control yourself.
I could not cross the road for an hour.
Order!
I said... order!
My children died... all because your husband was passing by.
This is contempt of court.
Shut up! Calm down!
Judge...
Did you see what he did right now?
he is dangerous.
What are you saying?
If someone loses their children they are bound to get agitated.
(Panting)
This excitement proves nothing.
Mrs. Simrat, first you admit that Varun Chadha was wrong.
Admit it.
It's become fashionable to abuse politicians.
They don't care that he is also a human being...
a husband...
- You are unnecessarily... - Someone's father...
...sentimental.
But one must have moral grounding to understand this.
Madam, please watch what you say.
How will people like you understand?
While it may be natural for you to get emotional
but you have no right to get personal. - Please control your emotions.
It could also be that Kuldip is a hired assassin...
and you are being bribed well to save him.
Madam, please behave yourself.
Take a look at my record.
Silence, Parduman.
That's an unwarranted accusation.
Silence, Parduman. Don't lose your cool.
Prosecution... Defence...
Sidebar. Now!
Let me tell you that this is a murder case...
and not a political debate.
Please keep the matter restricted to...
the murder without extending it further.
(Gasps)
We will wind it here today...
the rest at the next hearing.
Can I not come to court and testify?
I've told you many times
that it's prohibited for the accused to be present there.
But you mentioned that if the defence lawyer has no objection...
But I don't want you to be there.
Why?
You don't understand the ways arguments are fought.
It doesn't even take five minutes for an accused to be proven guilty.
Listen to me, if you mess up I may not be able save you...
I will not mess up.
What have I got myself into!
Okay, listen to me...
If I've not done anything... what do you need to be worried about?
I'll have to deal with much with this request.
Let's see...
What is your name?
Kuldip Patwal.
What do you do?
I run a general provision store. A salesman.
Are you aware that you are accused of the grave crime of killing the Chief Minister?
- Yes, sir. - Okay.
On the day of the event, after the shot was fired...
there were three types of people.
One, that ran for their lives...
the next, those who ran to save the CM's life...
and the third kind, who just stood there.
Why?
I have no idea... I couldn't think.
Judge, please note this point...
and consider throughout the course of the case...
that Kuldip Patwal could have run away...
but he didn't.
Why?
Prosecution.
Kuldip Patwal, according to your statement, you did not fire.
Yes.
But according to witness the shot was fired from where you were standing.
No clue...
Did you see someone else shoot?
No, I didn't.
How is that possible?
The person who fired the shot was close to you.
I don't remember anything.
Excuse me?
I don't remember anything.
I don't even remember how I got there.
Do you indulge in any intoxicant... like drugs or alcohol?
No!
I object, your honour.
Overruled.
I'm wondering why you don't remember anything!
What are you trying to say?
That you don't remember anything?
That you were at the venue...
the police... the video footage... these witnesses...
You don't remember this whole episode?
Am I right?
I'm not sure... maybe...
Not sure?
According to your testimony... if you are an honest and sincere person...
I object, your honour.
I would request that the prosecution ask the question straight forward...
instead of taunting.
Overruled.
Thank you, your honour.
So tell me, Kuldip.
Where did you get the gun with...
which you killed Varun Chadha?
Hello... madam...
I've told you before as well that I didn't kill him.
Can't you understand?
Objection, your honour.
The prosecution is passing the judgement before you can.
Sustained.
Mrs. Simrat, paraphrase.
Tell me, was the gun yours or did it belong to someone else?
Yes.
What does that mean?
Tell me.
It was with me.
Did you buy it yourself?
Or do you not remember that as well?
I got it from someone.
Who gave it?
Jitu...
Jitu, who?
Jitender Kumar.
Thank you, Kuldip.
I will ask you the rest of the questions later.
Your honour, my next witness is Jitender Kumar.
A childhood friend of Kuldip.
Objection.
The defence has not been told about this witness at all.
I'm not prepared for this.
Judge, since this case is sensitive...
I had to keep this confidential.
But I would respect your decision.
Mr. Parduman, let's call the witness.
You will be given till the next hearing to prepare yourself.
Madam, two ladies have come to meet you.
Who?
They've come to talk to you about the Kuldip Patwal case.
Send them in. - Okay.
Why have you come here?
I don't want to speak to you all.
Please leave.
Please listen to me.
I don't want to talk to you.
Please listen to us once.
I respect you... please let go...
Please have mercy, madam.
Please save my husband.
No one can repair what you've lost
but you can prevent it happening to us.
Even I could say a lot of things.
I have personal and professional compulsions.
Please forgive me.
Come mother, let's leave.
Kuldip and I were close friends.
We knew each other since childhood.
Then we meet each other after ages...
he was in bad shape.
I took him into the party to help him.
And since our work is such that...
I gave him the gun only for his protection.
Where you at the venue at the time of the murder?
Yes.
Did Kuldip talk to you about wanting to kill the CM?
Jitender Kumar, please answer.
Did Kuldip kill Varun?
Maybe...
What do you mean?
The shot was fired from where he was standing...
He had once told me about wanting to kill Varun Chadha.
Thank you, your honour.
Counsel, your witness.
The same thing again...
Did you see Kuldip shoot or did you not?
I didn't see him kill him.
Judge, expressing desire does not prove that he committed the crime.
He did not see Kuldip fire the shot.
Please note this.
Sonia, spell 'receive'.
R-e-c-i-e-v-e
Wrong.
R-e-c-e-i-v-e
It's always E after C.
Not I.
Now spell...
'Deceive'
D-e-c-e-i-v-e.
Good girl.
What's wrong, mummy?
Just remembering your dad.
(Simrat)Why don't you get those people arrested?
They are protesting against you... threatening to kill you...
It's not their fault.
This is the problem.
Understand it...
They should respect your position.
If I were in your place I would be realistic than idealistic...
But you are not in my place.
Look at it objectively.
Being a politician, I cannot please everyone.
Understood?
Some segment will get left behind.
And they don't find pleasure in protesting.
They are in great pain.
They take out their frustrations elsewhere.
It's up to you. Do what you want.
Just remember you have a family.
Ramesh... - Yes, madam?
- Give these clothes away to a charity.- (Man) Okay, madam.
Yes Ganguly, transfer all our joint accounts and utilities to my name.
Okay? Thanks.
Hello, Inspector Ajay!
When I joined the police service, I wanted to get rid of all crimes...
and clean up the city.
But, there's something wrong with the whole system...
I'm not much educated...
but I do know that people like Kuldip go through a lot of hardship...
and no can be held responsible for some of them.
I used to resent Mr. Varun Chadha.
But after hearing you in court I realize that...
people aren't necessarily evil.
My brother-in-law was in the railways...
One night in his 15 years of employment...
he dozed off and his train had an accident.
One who never killed an insect...
was now responsible for 500 deaths.
He killed himself the next day.
God is also partial to some...
If you could show some mercy to Kuldip...
if Mr. Varun was here today he would perhaps understand his pain.
The rest is up to you.
Inspector, you are getting a bit emotional.
Let's be realistic.
My husband was killed and the accused is Kuldip Patwal.
And that is the reality.
Wake up!
Stand up!
You've been with the youth wing of the...
Rashtravadi Party for five years now.
Then one day you met Kuldip...
who expressed his desire to kill Varun.
And you are a good friend...
you helped him...
Am I right?
Tell me the truth.
I know you are lying.
Let's hear it.
A big name had given me the job to kill Varun.
I didn't want to get trapped... so I...
got Kuldip involved...
No, no.
Who is this person?
Out with it!
Ramesh Agarwal.
Ramesh Agarwal... who is he?
The proprietor of Reliable Company.
What is this, Ramesh? What's are you up to?
What do you mean?
I think you know what I'm talking about.
Not at all...
I'm managing my business like usual.
By hoarding vegetables?
Prices are going upwards...
even as people die of hunger?
Who is dying?
Inflation... recession... these ups and downs exist in any economy.
It's the government's job to manage these things.
I do that which profits me.
I don't use red ink either.
Okay...
Then I'll do what I have to do. Don't regret it later.
What to tell you, Mr. Varun...
What happened?
Should have listened to you.
I made a wrong decision to enter politics.
Hang in there and deal with it, Varun.
Nothing good comes of it...
you try to help some segment and the other suffers.
Wasn't that obvious all along, though?
To increase employment, Varun had tabled a proposal for FDI to the Centre.
So?
Ramesh had requested Varun...
not to pressure the Central government
to implement FDI until he tied up with his foreign partners.
In return they were to fund Varun's policies like...
reservation, mid-day meal, MNREGA, etc.
Varun sped up the demand for FDI...
Not just that, sir...
Ramesh Agarwal... illegally inflated the prices of medicines.
Which Varun was totally against.
I want to present this in court, sir.
What are you talking about? No way...
But it's only ethical, sir.
It's the responsibilities I am bothered about.
We can do both, sir.
We can do it simultaneously.
We can do Kuldip Patwal and Ramesh Agarwal.
Mrs. Simrat Chadha, you are the prosecuting lawyer...
representing the state... you go after Kuldip Patwal.
Get him the capital punishment.
We will deal with Ramesh Agarwal later...
You are with me on this, right?
Good, let's do it!
Why did you hide from me that...
you spoke to Jitu about wanting to kill Varun.
Kuldip...
Why did you hide this?
Do you even know how difficult it has become for me?
(Shouting)
Say something...
And what else have you hidden from me?
Kuldip?
We are on the edge of losing this case.
Try to remember now.
Say something, Kuldip.
What more can I say?
I have already told you everything that I know.
(Crying)
It's okay...
listen to me...
Don't worry... Calm down...
- It's okay... - Don't know how I missed this.
Calm down...
What happened in the last few days?
(Indistinct)
Hope you are alright?
I'm okay.
I just need to see Kuldip's list of visitors...
- Kuldip's? - Hurry, Satbir...
Sure, no one else came to visit him?
No, sir... no one.
Satbir?
No, sir.
(Mobile Phone Ringing)
Yes.
Hello, Mrs. Simrat...
This is Parduman Shahpuri speaking.
Tell me... what is it?
Sorry for calling so late.
I am going to the Judge's house tomorrow.
A very important thing about the case has come to light...
See, I could have gone there alone...
but that wouldn't be fair.
Really?
Running scared, are you?
Don't worry I will reach before you...
Save it for the court, yeah?
Mr. Parduman...
(Chuckles)
have some mercy on me; I get one Sunday to relax
Please forgive me.
Tell me...
(Clearing Throat)
The plan to kill Varun was some powerful person's idea.
What rubbish?
What are you saying?
Have some patience, I'll tell you everything.
Ramesh Agarwal... the owner of Reliable Company.
Nice try... It's a good way to distract the proceedings.
Mrs. Simrat, I am going to allow it.
But ma'am...
Please.
I knew it!
Assassination of a political leader...
couldn't have been that straight forward.
Why are you giving me a headache, Mr. Agarwal?
Anyway, it is getting hotter by the day.
(Agarwal)Cut the nonsense and tell me how to get out of this SIT mess?
Looks like your brains don't work beyond earning money.
Meerut, Godhra, Bofors, so may SIT's...
big names were accused... not a single person convicted.
You relax. Don't worry and enjoy the free publicity.
If anything happens to me... I will take every one down with me.
Judge, during the course of the entire trial
the prosecution has brought forward...
eyewitnesses, video footage...
circumstantial evidence and forensics proof.
I don't know what else can be done to prove that Kuldip Patwal...
has committed a cold blooded murder
of CM Varun Chadha.
His purpose, his intent, his total disregard of the law...
proves this beyond doubt.
There should be no other punishment for Kuldip Patwal...
but capital punishment.
He does not even regret his act.
He doesn't deserve leniency.
And that would be all, Judge. Thank you.
Honourable Judge.
I would like to question Mrs. Simrat.
I object, your honour.
I'm sorry, madam...
not the prosecution...
but I would like to call upon the wife of Varun Chadha as a witness.
Mrs. Simrat, have you always stood by Mr. Chadha?
Were you ever angry or upset?
Did you leave home?
Honestly, I did once.
But it wasn't because he was dishonest.
In fact, it was because he was way too honest.
He cared too much for the well being of the people.
Hope my testimony doesn't go against you, Mr. Parduman.
Don't you worry about that.
You have a child?
Who is somewhere safe now?
And you left with her, too?
Yes. I was angry then.
You are a lawyer, yes or no.
Did you not find Varun's house safe for your child?
At that point of time I didn't.
Thank you. You can step down, Mrs. Simrat.
when a politician's own home isn't happy...
then how can people be happy?
It is the job of government servants...
to provide the people of India with glory and satisfaction.
If Kuldip doesn't get justice...
there will be another murder in another 10-15-20 years.
You may look at the history of such incidents.
Every 15-20 years sees the killing of a politician.
Because the people aren't happy.
Every 15-20 years the anger will boil over.
That's all your honour.
Thank you.
Have you picked up Sonia from school?
Has she eaten before she slept?
Once she wakes up give me a missed call.
After considering all evidences, witnesses, arguments, and reports...
Madam, I want to call Jitu to ask something.
I object your Honour.
You cannot call the same witness twice.
Please, I request you to consider...
Please proceed. - Thank you.
Objection Judge, this is against the law.
Mrs. Simrat, I am going to allow it.
Jitender Kumar, alias Jitu...
have you said everything in your defence...
or is there anything left?
- Yes... - Yes?
What is it?
You don't seem to be in a position to recall...
Shall I remind you?
I'll tell you everything...
(Tires Screeching)
How's it going, Kuldip?
Get in.
Thank you, Jitu...
I must admit, that I did not know any of this.
Thank you.
He is just a victim of the system...
who has been hypnotised or drugged to kill Varun.
The defence is claiming that Kuldip is innocent...
he just fired the gun that was placed in his hands and...
someone else made him do that.
What rubbish!
No... no. I won't accept or consider this.
I hope you've had your last words.
Await my judgement.
After considering all evidences presented, reports, arguments...
counter arguments, this court holds Saarthak Joshi of Rastravadi Party...
guilty of indulging in fraudulent practices in the policies...
proposed by Varun Chadha and orders him to be taken into judicial custody.
The State Health Minister, Vijay Goenka is found guilty under
IPC section 304 for being irresponsible
in providing ventilators to state hospitals.
He is to be taken into judicial custody.
So what if the police have come?
Come have a seat.
- Come let's go. - Let me call for tea.
I've not done anything... It's all Joshi's doing...
Joshi! I'll...
Come on... move it...
This court holds Jitendra Kumar guilty of conspiring to kill...
the state's Chief Minister Varun Chadha and...
for entrapping the accused Kuldip Patwal
under IPC section 302, the court
orders him an imprisonment of seven years.
After considering all evidences presented, reports, arguments...
this court holds that the accused Kuldip Patwal...
partially guilty for the murder of Varun Chadha.
As there's not enough evidence to incriminate him...
the court, under IPC section 302...
for the attempt to murder
the court orders him an imprisonment of five years.
(Indistinct)
You have the reason, the weapon, and...
