All characters and events of this story are fictitious.
It has no relationship with any person or event.
If any similarity is found between it and any event..
..then it will be considered purely a coincidence.
I feel, madam, brother Shaktimaan..
..must be slightly impressed with you as well.
How can you say that?
If he is a warrior of truth..
..then you are the queen of trouble. - What do you mean?
I mean in the battle for truth you face any difficulty.
But why are you putting me in trouble?
Whenever we met you always caused me trouble.
I would have managed with broken limbs and bones.
But death. I am not even married yet.
You are trying to make my wife a widow..
..before our marriage. - Shut up. Just shut up. Be quiet.
You are scared again.
Gangadhar, can you smell the gas?
The same lethal gas, madam.
Our death is near.
Something terrible is going to happen.
Before the terrible incident occurs..
..we should flee from here.
What's this explosion?
The same terrible incident I was speaking about.
How did we get free?
You said truth is powerful.
The same power set us free.
Now, madam, we don't have time to speak.
Let's flee from here quickly, come on.
(Glass shattering)
(Groans)
Bazuka, my son.
(Groans)
Why don't you believe me, inspector?
He is a very strange man..
..and electricity runs through his body.
He is an electric-man.
He has started this fire.
Are you talking about Shaktimaan?
It must be that Shaktimaan, sir.
She is the girl Geeta..
..who published the article on Shaktimaan.
But this isn't Shaktimaan, he's a devil.
Shaktimaan comes to save people.
Whereas he is spreading destruction.
He is an electric-man.
Electric-man. - What?
First Shaktimaan, now electric-man.
Ms. Geeta, are these magical people your imagination?
Believe me, inspector, he really exists.
He started this fire.
And where did he disappear to after lighting the fire?
(Camera clicks)
Don't worry about me.
I didn't disappear anywhere. I am right here.
Shut up.
Look, I don't know where he disappeared to.
But I do know that if he isn't caught now..
..then he will terrorize the entire city.
Please do something, inspector.
Shaktimaan, where are you?
Why aren't you coming?
Arrest any man found suspicious, understand.
Over and out.
(Police siren)
Who are you?
Didn't you hear what I said?
Stop or else I will shoot you.
(Gunshot)
Calling all stations. Calling all stations.
A man who is firing electric charges from his eyes..
..is heading towards mid-town.
Alert everyone. Don't fire.
I am coming there. Come on.
(Police siren)
This is the moment of your trial.
Take a photo of electric-man. - Photo.
Photo.
(Gunshots)
Someone save my child.
Someone save her. Help me.
Save her. Someone save my child.
Save her someone.
Help!
I knew you will surely come to save the people like an angel.
Who are you? - You have given me the name Shaktimaan.
(Explosion)
Shaktimaan, you call yourself human.
Then how do you posses inhumanly powers.
Anyone can have powers like me.
If he understand his powers correctly.
But, Shaktimaan, what is your motive?
To finish bad people?
My enmity is with evil and not the evil people.
Madam. Madam. I am back.
You? Where had you disappeared to?
I didn't disappear, madam, I was taking pictures.
I was taking pictures of this electricity man.
I see. - Yes.
Did you take everyone's photographs? - Yes, everyone.
From the dead bodies in the graveyard..
..to this last battle I took all the pictures.
Did you take Shaktimaan's pictures? - Yes, madam.
I took Shaktimaan's picture as well.
That's like a good boy.
So my job is confirmed.
What is that said?
100 percent confirmed.
Madam, thank you. Thank you.
But the people say that if there truly is a power like Shaktimaan..
..then it's the government's duty to find..
..a solution against his powers otherwise Shaktimaan..
Shaktimaan was the topic of discussion..
..in the entire country today.
Even in both the sessions of Parliament..
..people debated over Shaktimaan..
..that who was Shaktimaan after all.
What is his motive?
But everyone agreed on one thing.
That Shaktimaan saved everyone from a big problem.
We have learned from reliable sources..
..that foreign agencies are taking interest in Shaktimaan.
The leaders of the country..
..and the high-ranking officials of the military call this just a phase.
They believe that just to prove their power..
..over the entire world India..
The power of this man is beyond imagination.
After Shaktimaan's arrival..
Shaktimaan was the topic of discussion.
Shaktimaan! Shaktimaan's everywhere!
News about him. Discussions on him.
It feels like I am being taunted.
Those who are talked about a lot don't last for long, sir.
Just like the lamp that glows brightly..
..doesn't last for too long.
By the way.. did you note one thing, sir? - What is it?
Your channel, meaning J.J International channel..
..is also praising Shaktimaan a lot.
Who is it?
Who is the programme director? - Zubi.
Zubi Rastogi.
I have found out that she is one of yours..
..I mean J.J's trusted people.
In fact, you, I mean J.J is having an affair with her.
Zubi Rastogi.
This. - This.
This photo.. But Shaktimaan's alone in this one.
I feel the photo in which he is with Electric-man will be better.
Where is it? Yes, this one.
This is a nice photo, Sudhansu.
But I know that the photo-feature agency..
..must have sent many sets of these photos..
..to other newspapers as well.
So, the photo that you chose will be seen in all the newspapers.
That is true.
But I don't know why this Shaktimaan seems familiar.
Whose does he resemble?
(Chuckles) With me. - Yes.
Isn't it, madam? - No, Gangadhar.
There is no comparison between you and Shaktimaan.
There is a huge difference.
Just don't ask which is which.
No, no. I know that. - Good.
Now first tell me where are the photos..
..that you took of Shaktimaan?
Sorry.
Now tell me.
Madam.
I can't hear a thing. Speak louder.
There is a problem, madam.
What? What nonsense.
It's no nonsense, it's the truth, madam.
I feel it's the conspiracy of evil power.
It is not my fault at all.
Actually there is no such word as problem in my vocabulary.
What problem?
Madam, you know that I took many photographs of Shaktimaan.
But look, there isn't a single photo in this.
Did you take the role out of the camera like this?
Do you think I am a complete fool?
Madam, I tool this out in the darkroom.
But I didn't see any photograph there.
That is why I brought it out in the light and saw it..
..but I still didn't see any photograph.
But, madam, what should I do now?
What will you do now?
You have already done what you wanted to.
You have ruined all the photographs.
Believe me, madam, believe me.
I haven't done anything. Yes.
I know that you haven't done anything.
Because you don't know how to do anything.
And so why this office doesn't require your services.
You can leave. - What?
Are you firing me from the job, madam?
Firing you?
No, Mr. Gangadhar, you weren't appointed in the first place.
Understand.
No, madam.
Madam, don't do this.
Don't be so cruel.
If you don't give me the job..
..then what about the hotel owner..
..where I have been eating on credit?
He has a stout wife and six small children.
Think about them.
Don't be so cruel, madam.
Give me another chance, madam. - What can I do?
I gave you a chance and you failed.
That is not my fault.
You are right, madam.
It's my destiny.
I am an unfortunate person, madam.
This has always happened with me.
My mother passed away a year before I was born.
When I was born Assam suffered terrible floods.
When I was five years old..
..the hens in my house stopped laying eggs.
And do you know what happened when I grew up?
My parrot left me and flew away.
And do you know what a person goes through..
..whose parrot flies away?
It's difficult to live for him.
But I am still alive.
Why am I alive? Why am I alive?
Look, control yourself, Mr. Gangadhar. - (Weeping)
Be quiet.
No, madam.
Let me speak, madam.
Let me speak.
Whenever I blew-up a balloon it bore a hole.
Whenever I peeled a groundnut it was empty.
I am a unfortunate person, madam.
I have no right to live.
Let me die.
Look. Sit.
I will.. give you one more chance. Okay.
But if you fail this time then..
You are noble, madam, noble.
You are great, madam, great.
Now watch.
I will click photographs of Shaktimaan..
..and even Shaktimaan won't recognise himself.
Shaktimaan. Be alert.
You weren't alert.
The darkness is receding.
Why? - Master, Electric-man tried his best to crush him.
But.. - He defeated you.
For ages even in the presence..
..of great saints and benefactors..
..evil has flourished.
And so has my empire.
But today..
Today Shaktimaan is challenging my power..
..though you are here.
Did I make a mistake by releasing you?
No, master.
I will soon finish him.
It is important.
Otherwise I will have to end your independence.
Change your plan of action.
Instead of fighting him face to face attack him from the back.
Take the help of illusions. - Yes, master.
My devotee Kapala will soon come see you.
He is an expert in taking form of any inorganic thing.
Join hands with him and finish Shaktimaan.
Yes, master.
Let darkness prevail.
Darkness prevails, king Kilvish.
Illusion.
That means delusion. - Meaning deceit.
Yes. Deceit.
That means we will have to put people under false impression.
Of course. - But how?
Through J.J television channel.
The broadcasting medium gives people their mental dose.
And we will turn that dose into a lethal one.
And the poison will be the rumours..
..which we will spread through the channel..
..and mislead the people.
Of course.
And Kapala is coming as well.
Let's see what lethal weapon he is bringing along.
Kapala.
(Thundering)
(Chanting mantra)
(Laughs)
Kapala, your penance is going to bear fruit.
Now offer a sacrifice to the king of darkness king Kilvish.
Black sacrifice for the black ruler.
Come, black sacrifice.
Offer yourself to the king of darkness..
..and complete my penance.
(Laughs)
Your penance is complete.
And there's your reward.
'Shakti Kheechak Yantra'.
This will make you undefeated.
Whoever comes before you to battle you..
..this device will draw out all his powers and give it to you.
Glory to king Kilvish. Glory to him.
(Laughs)
Look, Kapala, you have been given the 'Shakti Kheechak Yatra'.
Pick it up.
Kapala, now you are invincible.
No one can face you.
Whoever comes to fight you..
..this 'Shakti Kheechak Yatra' will draw-out all his powers.
(Laughs)
(Elephant trumpeting)
Look, Kapala, Gajraj.
Gajraj is here to fight you.
He will be defeated.
(Laughs)
You will lose.
(Laughs)
Kapala, now you have the strength of an elephant.
(Laughs)
He had come to fight with Kapala. And he lost.
(Laughs)
(Grunts)
(Laughs)
Listen. Listen, Kapala.
Master has sent the message for you to leave.
This means I'll have to leave.
(Laughs)
(Thundering)
Any which way.
We'll have to gather complete information about Shaktimaan.
Today every kid wants to know who Shaktimaan is.
And how does he do all this?
Where has he come from? Who are his parents?
Does he have a girlfriend? Etc. etc.
And it's our duty to give complete information..
..about Shaktimaan to our readers.
Sir, this is the duty that all..
..the newspapers of the city want to fulfill.
So this is not an easy task.
Be it difficult or easy.
I just know that Shaktimaan is our story.
It's our baby.
The first news about him will be out in our newspaper.
And today if anyone else takes it away from us..
..then shame on us.
That is why I tell all of you.
Find out more about Shaktimaan.
But how is this possible, sir?
Only I have the right on Shaktimaan.
I mean I had got that news.
And the story of the electric man is also mine.
So how can anyone else work on Shaktimaan?
Ms. Geeta Vishwas..
..you still haven't reserved the rights of Shaktimaan.
That's why anyone can find out about Shaktimaan.
But I am sure that no one can find out about Shaktimaan.
Except me.
I think Geeta even you'll find this difficult.
Because no one knows so far how to make Shaktimaan show himself.
A suggestion.
Leave this to me.
What are you going to do?
I will plant some powerful mosquitoes in Shaktimaan's house.
He'll come out. Right?
But Mr. Gangadhar, do you know Shaktimaan's address?
That's not difficult.
I will write a letter to Shaktimaan and ask him..
..where he lives right away. Right, lady?
Mr. Gangadhar, your suggestion is a very good one.
And I think, the job will be done faster..
..if you send a telegram instead of the letter.
Madam, you are making fun of me.
You bet. I'll find out about Shaktimaan before you do.
You can't find yourself.
Madam, you're challenging my ability.
You may think so.
What if I find out Shaktimaan before you do?
What if? - What will I get?
You will. You will. You will also get something, Gangadhar.
If you find out Shaktimaan, I'll promote..
..you to a reporter from a photographer.
Thank you. - And your job will also be permanent.
You're wasting your time, sir.
He can never find Shaktimaan.
Geeta, if Gangadhar finds him before you..
..he will prove to be better. Yes.
We'll see, Mr. Gangadhar.
Who finds Shaktimaan first?
Sure. But ma'am, I am afraid you might get lose..
..in finding Shaktimaan.
(Chuckles)
Idiot.
(Laughs)
Tell me.
Kapala will finish Shaktimaan right now.
There isn't just one Shaktimaan, Kapala.
Then how many?
Many.
What do you mean?
We mean there is just one Shaktimaan.
But he lives in the hearts of many people.
That is why first make them hate Shaktimaan.
Scare people a little. Make Shaktimaan dance a bit.
Make people fall prey to misunderstandings.
Finish Shaktimaan when they start hating Shaktimaan.
Kill him. But not by making him a hero, but by making him a villain.
(Laughs)
You heard that, Kapala?
You'll kill Shaktimaan.
But first, you'll scare people.
You'll scare them out of their minds.
Kapala will spread the trap of illusion over all over the city.
A trap that makes people dread life.
(Laughs)
An illusion that makes Shaktimaan forgets his address.
(Laughs)
Look inspector, do call me in the office..
..if there is any incident in the city.
Because I am certain that Shaktimaan will come..
..to stop that incident.
And I want Shaktimaan's interview.
Will you help me?
This will help me a lot.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Are you Geeta Vishwas? - Yes.
I am Chamanlal.
I could tell you something that will benefit you in a big way.
But any loss doesn't make any difference to me either.
Look, I can tell you quite a lot about Shaktimaan.
About Shaktimaan. What do you know?
Never mind what I know.
I know that you don't know what I do.
But I also know what you know.
What do you mean? - Forget it.
I'll go if you don't want to know.
No. No. Wait. Wait. Come. Sit.
I want to hear.
Tell me. What do you know about Shaktimaan?
Wow, madam. Just like that. For free.
You guys take money to give information.
And you want to know everything from me for free.
First tell me. What information do you have?
I promise I will get you handsome reward. Okay?
Look, I am kind of parched.
Let me go drink something first.
Sit. Sit. I'll order it here.
Bankelal. - Yes madam.
For whom is this? - For editor sir, madam.
Okay. Keep the cold drink here.
Everything, madam.
Yes tell me. What do you know about Shaktimaan?
Look, actually the one you think is Shaktimaan..
..isn't Shaktimaan, he is a devil.
It's an evil spirit.
Evil spirit? But he helps people.
No. He is a villain. He is a very big secret agent.
The one you think is Shaktimaan is not alone.
He has lots of evil spirits like him with him..
..whose motive is to destroy the whole world.
And you bet. One day they will rule the world.
I know a lot about these evil spirits since childhood.
You certainly know a lot about evil spirits.
But you know nothing about Shaktimaan.
Excuse me.
Darn it.
Campanula, you failed here as well.
(Laughs)
Okay. So Appu, you mean that Shaktimaan is your friend.
Yes. I had seen Shaktimaan before anyone else.
But Appu, your sister has written in the newspaper..
..that she saw Shaktimaan first.
I went and told her.
Appu, really.
If you can't believe, my sister is going to come here to take me.
You can ask her.
I think both of you are crazy.
You bet. Now his sister will come..
..and say we had seen him together.
(Laughs)
If you don't believe me, so be it.
Okay, sir. We believe you.
Happy now?
Yes. Well played. Now watch.
Kapala will trick the kids first with illusion.
That will be so much fun.
He will have a blast.
Here.
(Laughs)
(Cheering)
Shaktimaan.
Shaktimaan is here.
My Shaktimaan. Shaktimaan, kill all of them.
Shaktimaan. My Shaktimaan.
Shaktimaan.
How did I come here?
That monster.
Shaktimaan, you?
Don't be scared. Nothing has happened.
That was your imagination.
Imagination. What do you mean?
Imagination means often we get so engrossed in something..
..that we forget reality and start living in it.
We start feeling it.
This is exactly what happened to you too.
This has happened to me too.
Okay, Shaktimaan. Are you a human like us?
Yes. Of course.
Does your heart also beat like ours?
Yes. - Show it.
Here.
Yes. Indeed.
But that wasn't fun. - Why?
The heart of a super hero beats like that on ordinary man.
That is not much fun. His heart should beat very hard.
Like this.
Okay, Shaktimaan. What do you eat?
A few tonnes of vegetables.
100-150 liter milk.
500-600 dozens of bananas, oranges, pomegranates, Sapodillas.
So much food.
Yes. if superhero eats any less, you'll not enjoy it, isn't it?
Please Shaktimaan. Tell us. What do you eat?
Simple nutritious food.
What do you mean?
I mean green vegetables, milk, fresh fruits..
..and such nutritious things.
Come on. We also eat these things.
And how did you become this powerful eating all this?
Why not?
Anyone can be like me.
But you need staunch Sadhna (exercises) for that.
Who Sadhna? - Idiot, don't you know Sadhna?
That old actress.
No. No. No. Not her.
Sadhna means exercises.
Mental and physical exercises.
As in martial arts, yoga, swimming, gym, athletics.
So many exercises.
No way. We can't even do our school's homework.
How will we do exercise?
Your wish. If you want to be like me..
..you'll have to do all this along with homework.
Will you do it?
We'll think about it.
Fine. You think. I am off.
Just a minute, Shaktimaan. Just a minute.
Shaktimaan, will you come to your club..
..if all of us together start your fan club?
I'll think about it.
Please tell us, Shaktimaan. Please tell us.
Okay. Tell me something.
Who is my fan here?
All of us.
My sister is also your fan.
Your sister? Really?
Look, kids.
Be the followers of truth instead of being my followers.
Because Shaktimaan himself is a fan of the followers of truth.
Got it? - Yes.
Look. I can be Shaktimaan.
