(Screams)
'So this is Bangrughati.'
'Where is ma'am?'
'Ma'am is sitting with them.'
'What are they talking about?'
Ms. Geeta, today my efforts have paid off.
I am just waiting for the new discovery to be cleaned.
So that we find out what is that new discovery.
What is it?
Really. This is my new discovery.
This is my new discovery.
By the way..
..is it getting hotter?
Or only I am feeling like that?
No, sir. It's really getting hotter.
Yes. - Okay.
Professor. - Yes.
It's not that only you or history will benefit from your new discovery.
I will benefit the most.
Because I will be the first journalist..
..to print the news of this strange discovery.
Geeta, say that you are the first journalist..
..to print every strange news.
Geeta, you had published news..
..of a strange person called Shaktimaan, hadn't you?
It's my good luck, Ms. Geeta.
You are the first journalist to publish my discovery.
Thanks.
Who is this Gangadhar?
Who is he?
Because his name is always printed alongside your name.
Did the two of you uncover the news of Shaktimaan?
Yes. You can say so. - 'Is that so?'
It means, he doesn't uncover any news?
What will he uncover news?
He doesn't even have proper news of himself.
He is not less than any breaking news.
Yes. He is a fool.
A donkey's soul has entered a human body.
Why is his name printed alongside your name?
My bad luck. My bad luck.
I made that fool a photographer.
Thinking that he will come to some use.
But he fooled me and proceeded ahead.
He always extracts Shaktimaan's news from me.
And from a photographer he has become a co-reporter.
When I am the one who brings news related to Shaktimaan.
Shaktimaan gives news only to me.
I am speaking the truth.
Really. - Is that so?
No. We believe you.
But Ms. Geeta, I find it very interesting.
A fool duped you.
(Laughs)
'You have come here too, wicked.'
'So excavation is being carried out all around.'
'Everybody is searching for something.'
'But what is madam searching for?'
'Humans are so strange.'
'They are born of dust and into the dust they have to perish.'
'Still, people search in dust.'
Mister.
Do you think I am a dustbin?
Oh, God. He is a gentleman.
If sir finds out, he will sack me.
Run.
Listen to me. Listen to me.
Where are you running?
Fine.
If you don't want to listen, don't listen.
Take this.
(Wind gusting)
(Giggles)
Dust for dust.
(Screams)
Ma'am, don't hit me. Don't hit me.
Thanks, ma'am. Thanks.
But tell me something.
Is everybody so violent here?
What did you say? - No. Nothing.
'Oh, God. He seems to be a discovery of excavation.'
'A 2500 years old man.'
No. That is not what I am. That is not what I am.
What are you not?
A 2500 years old man.
I am not that.
How did you find out what I am thinking?
My luck is bad.
Anybody who sees me thinks that I am 2500 years old man.
You also thought the same thing, didn't you?
No. No. No.
That's not true.
But the truth is that I am much more ancient, ma'am.
Do you know how ancient I am?
Ask me. Ask me.
Don't feel shy. Ask me.
How ancient?
As ancient as human civilization.
(Laughs)
Really. You seem to be very interesting.
What is your name?
Name. I had a name. Yes. I have a name.
My name is Pandit Gangadhar Vidyadhar Mayadhar Omkarnath Shastri.
Village. Gutinda. Post Trikoli.
District. Uttarakhand.
You heard the entire thing?
People stop me before I can finish my name.
You heard the entire thing.
Did you like my name?
It's nice.
(Laughs) It's a bit lengthy.
Like your teeth.
It's not lengthy.
In fact, it's not my name.
It's not your name?
No. It's my pet name.
My name is very long.
Shall I tell you? - No. No. It's okay.
I will make do with your pet name. - Okay.
You are the same Pandit Gangadhar..
..who is reporter Geeta Vishwas's partner, aren't you?
Not at all.
No? - I am not that Pandit Gangadhar..
..who writes with Geeta Vishwas.
I am that Pandit Gangadhar with whom Geeta Vishwas writes.
Yes.
Gangadhar, now you are gone.
Actually, she is my student.
Yes.
I mean, I am her student.
No. No. I mean, I am the student.
No. I mean, I am her student.
She is my senior. She is great, ancient, famous.
And she is here.
How are you? How are you?
I was praising you in front of her.
Yes. Yes.
Stop praising me.
Tell me. What are you doing here?
I was introducing myself to her.
What is your name? - Hema.
Yes. Hema. Hema.
Pleased to meet you.
Hema. Hema.
Pleased to meet you. Hema. Hema.
Pleased to meet you.
Both of you talk. I will just come.
Okay. Come again. Come again. Come again.
I mean, how did you reach here?
I came by a locomotive.
Locomotive? What is that?
In your language it's called train.
(Imitates train sound)
You came here by train? - Yes.
But there is no train at this hour.
Yes. That is what I was saying.
I didn't come by train.
So how did you come?
Tell me clearly.
I came here flying.
Oh, God. Give me a break.
Gangadhar, will you stop talking nonsense?
I am not talking nonsense.
I am speaking the truth.
I came here flying with brother Shaktimaan.
What did you say? You came with Shaktimaan?
Yes.
When your call got disconnected..
..the editor got very worried.
He said, "Gangadhar, go and find Geeta."
I reached the station.
I was entering the station. And I met brother Shaktimaan.
I said, "Brother Shaktimaan, can I get a lift?"
He asked, "Where do you want to go?"
I said, "I have to go to Bangrughati."
"To Geeta."
He said, "Come on. I will take you there."
What?
You are speaking the truth?
Shaktimaan dropped you here?
Yes. Yes.
Shaktimaan dropped me here.
It's absolutely true.
Really? - Not really. It's absolutely true.
He..
Where did he go?
Shaktimaan. Shaktimaan.
Tell me. Where did he go? - He left.
He had to attend his distant relative's marriage.
He said, "I am in a hurry. I am going."
I said, "Go. Bye."
Bye. He left.
Gangadhar, you are not fooling me, are you?
I don't repeat any deed, ma'am.
Shut up.
Now, I understood.
As to how you reached here and why.
I used to think you are very smart.
But today I found out that you are a fraud.
(Stammers) Listen.. to me, ma'am.
Quiet.
I don't want to hear anything.
I have understood you very well.
You have come here so that you can seize my new story.
But Pundit Gangadhar, no such thing is going to happen.
Did you understand? - Ma'am, you are misunderstanding me.
I came here to inquire about your wellbeing.
Brother Shaktimaan dropped me here, ma'am.
Brother Shaktimaan.
Yes. - You talk about Shaktimaan as if he is under your control.
Fine. You are saying Shaktimaan dropped you here, right?
Yes. - Give me the proof.
Proof? - Yes. You must have some proof.
(Giggles)
I think the editor has influenced you too, ma'am.
You always ask for proof. - Shut up.
From a photographer you have fraudulently become a reporter.
But remember one thing.
It's not easy to be a reporter.
A person can't be a reporter fraudulently.
You need to toil for that.
I do. I toil.
Look, I am descending the stairs with you.
You don't do anything.
Remember one thing.
You won't get anything from my story.
If you want to save your job, within two days..
What did you say? He said bye. - Yes.
Bring me that photo.
Otherwise you will lose your job. Did you understand?
Bye. Did you understand?
The discovery has been cleaned.
Ms. Geeta, where were you?
Ms. Hema. Ms. Hema.
Ms. Hema. Where did you go?
Sir.
He is Pundit Gangadhar Shastri.
He writes with Ms. Geeta. - I see. I see.
No. She is writing with me. - What?
Well. Well. Well.
Mr. Gangadhar, it's good that you have also come.
I have heard your praises from Ms. Geeta.
(Giggles)
I am a praiseworthy person.
Many people are not destined for praises all their lives.
There are many such people in my village..
..who die without receiving any praises.
Those who are praised die early.
I am the only living person who is being praised.
Right, Ms. Geeta?
Yes. True.
Are you praised?
I don't do any work for recognition. - Why do you work?
Ms. Geeta. - Yes.
We were waiting for it to be cleaned. It has been cleaned.
Oh, really? - Yes.
What is it? - Let's go and see.
Sure. Let's go. - Come on.
'Discovery?'
'Is it the discovery about which.. - Mr. Gangadhar
Mr. Gangadhar, what are you thinking? - I..
You don't want to see that strange discovery?
Nothing can be stranger than you.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Come. Carefully.
This way. Come.
It's really dark in here.
Ghosts and spirits also dwell here.
Bird.
Forgive me.
Did you get hurt?
No, Gangadhar. I am fine.
Then it's okay.
Come. Come.
Come. Look. - You have come here too, wicked.
Fine. Fine.
Ms. Geeta, we clean our discoveries..
..and then do research on them.
Look.
(Laughs)
Ma'am, it looks like a museum.
I mean, a museum.
Yes. Only you were missing.
But you came here before me.
The void must have been filled.
Stand still and keep quiet.
Ma'am, how is that possible?
I should stand as well as keep quiet.
Fine. Keep quiet and stand.
I am standing.
But how?
Lord Ram save me from you.
Fine. Let's ask him as well.
Mr. Ram.
But ma'am, if you tell him to keep quiet and stand still..
..he will also wonder whether to stand still or keep quiet.
(Laughs)
You have a good sense of humor. - Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.
Did you hear? - Listen. Remove the cloth.
Let it be. I will do it.
'So this is the wall of rays through which I can't penetrate.'
Miracle.
It's really a miracle.
Can a coffin be so beautiful?
I had never imagined.
This coffin is as beautiful as the writings on it are ugly.
I could understand only one word.
What is that word, professor?
Kashtak. - Kashtak?
Yes. Kashtak.
Besides that I didn't get any information.
I don't know why I feel that we can find many things from this coffin.
I also feel so, Geeta.
But I don't understand how to open this coffin.
Sir. - Yes.
We can break open this coffin.
No. No, Hema.
We are archeologists.
For us this coffin is as important as the contents inside.
But sir, what if we cut it carefully?
No. Not at all.
I won't permit you to touch it.
Wait a minute.
We will surely find a way to open it.
The coffin won't be harmed.
And the contents inside will remain safe.
(Laughs)
Kashtak.
Let's see what the problem inside is.
What happened, Gangadhar?
Nothing. The coffin is very beautiful.
Why did you get a shock?
I told you. The coffin is very beautiful.
Whenever I see anything beautiful, this is how I react.
(Laughs)
That's why you were shocked to see me.
Professor, did you observe something?
What? - Since the time we have discovered this coffin..
..it has become very hot.
You have a good imagination.
No, professor. See for yourself.
All of us are sweating profusely.
Look at yourself. Look at Hema.
Look at me.
Look at Gangadhar.
Gangadhar, why are you not sweating?
What? I am sweating. I am sweating profusely.
See this.
I am sweating profusely.
And you are saying I am not sweating.
This coffin is becoming more mysterious.
Come on. Let's go. - Yes. Let's go. Saxena, cover it.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
By the way your Shaktimaan is a big mystery in its own.
No professor, Shaktimaan is not a mystery..
..he's just an ordinary man who solves the mystery.
This itself is a very big mystery.
(Laughs)
On one side just an ordinary man..
..and on the other side so much of power.
Yes professor, just an ordinary man and so powerful.
But I feel every human being possess this power.
But a man like Shaktimaan recognises these powers..
..and becomes Shaktimaan (Powerful).
But who is that ordinary person who becomes Shaktimaan?
Miss. Geeta, according to me Shaktimaan..
..must not be wearing the red costume all the time.
Red costume?
This means that ordinary person..
..would be extremely opposite to Shaktimaan.
Definitely.
I find Shaktimaan as a hero from a story..
..which is based on a hero with double personality..
..who has two forms.
One which is not visible and the other one..
..which is a bit lesser then the ordinary man.
Less than an ordinary person?
Miss Geeta, I hope your Gangadhar is not our Shaktimaan?
Gangadhar?
Yes, Gangadhar can also be Shaktimaan.
Then I lifted Shaktimaan and threw him on the ground.
(Giggles)
Since then Shaktimaan fears me.
(Laughs)
Here comes your personality.
Sir, Mr. Gangadhar is indeed a very interesting person.
He tells very funny jokes.
Do you know anything apart from jokes?
Yes, I do. I know to wrestle.
I have won eighteen wrestling matches in my village.
I'm getting ready to win the nineteenth one.
Yes, I'm a bit weak in playing the chess game..
..since you have to kill the elephant, horse and camel in that game.
And I don't like to kill animals.
(Laughs)
Well, I'm a trained classical singer.
Shall I sing a song for you?
Of course.
Please sing. - Shall I sing?
Yes, yes. - Then hear this song.
(Clears throat)
(Singing)
"Are you coming with me, damsel?"
"Pot on your head."
"Pot on the head. Water in the pot."
"Krishna saw and whistled at you."
(Singing) (Laughs)
"Cock and hen."
"Cock and hen fight with each other."
"You win or I win."
"The myna killed the parrot.
Even then our country is the best."
(Singing) (Laughs)
Very nice. Very good. - Good one.
Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.
Mr. Gangadhar, you really sing very well.
Excellent.
But we'll have to finish this small gathering now..
..because it's too late now and we have to wake up early tomorrow..
..and we have to open the coffin. Right?
Yes. - So shall we go?
Yes let's go. Let's go and sleep.
Let's go it's too late in the night.
Let's go and sleep.
(Singing)
Madam, you seemed to be very impressed with my song..
..don't you want to sleep?
Wakeup. It's time for you to wakeup now. Wakeup.
'Miracle.' 'It's indeed a miracle.'
'I had never ever imagined that a coffin can be so beautiful.'
'Sir.' - 'Yes.'
'We can break this coffin and find out.'
'No. No Hema, we are from the archaeological department..
..this coffin is very important for us..
..and so are the dead bodies inside it.'
'But sir, if we cut it very carefully, then?'
'No. Not at all.'
'I will not give you the permission to touch it.'
'Professor has told me no but I don't feel like listening to him.'
'After all what does that coffin contain?'
'I can't wait till morning.
There's no harm in going and inspecting it quietly.'
(Grunts)
(Thud)
This.. this is breaking on its own.
Oh my God.
(Screams)
(Screams) (Thunder crashing)
(Thunder crashing)
(Wind gusting)
What's happening?
Professor. - Will anybody tell me?
What is all this happening?
Ms. Geeta, I'm unable to understand what's happening here.
Where is Hema?
Someone told me that she's gone towards that side.
Where? Did he see her going towards that side? - Yes.
Let's go and check there. - Yes let's go. Come on.
(Thunder crashing)
Gangadhar.
(Screaming) (Wailing)
(Explodes)
Oh my God. Shaktimaan, how.. how did all this happen?
Tell Shaktimaan, how did all this happen?
Coffin? Where has the coffin disappeared?
Shaktimaan, where has the coffin vanished?
I hope because of the blast it..
I have also witnessed the same as you all.
Perhaps she can tell us.
Hema. - Oh my God.
Hema.
- Hema.
Hema. Get up. Wakeup, Hema. Wakeup.
What happened to her?
Hema. - Hema. Say something.
Oh my God. Hema.
Hema.
She has regained consciousness.
She has come back to senses. Hema.
(Coughs)
Are you alright? - Yes, I'm alright.
Hema, how did all this happen and who did it? Say something?
Forgive me, professor. I'm sorry.
I came to see the coffin without taking your permission.
I saw, all of a sudden the coffin started breaking..
..and I could see a man looking like a soldier inside it.
He didn't have a sword in his hand.
I tried to place the sword in his hand.
The moment I placed the sword..
..his took hold of the sword on his own.
He.. he became alive. I got scared and started screaming.
(Explodes)
Suddenly a blast took place.
I don't remember anything after that.
But, what about.. Shaktimaan? Where is Shaktimaan?
Madam. Madam. Madam.
Gangadhar, you?
Where were you from so long?
I was flying in the universe, madam. In the universe.
I was flying in the universe. Space.
Universe? - Yes.
That thunder storm blew us away in the universe.
But I'm thankful to that storm. It was a good thunderstorm.
It was really very good. God bless his soul.
He sent us back here.
(Laughs)
It was fun flying with the thunderstorm.
'I find Gangadhar very strange.'
'He reached here too?'
'I just fail to understand how he reached here?'
'He said that he came flying along with Shaktimaan.'
'And that stone.. which was falling on me?'
'I felt as though Gangadhar flung and took hold of that stone.'
'But when I turned back and saw..
..Gangadhar was not present over there.'
'And when we reached the storeroom..
..Shaktimaan was already present there.
'But when I called out his name..
..when Hema came back to her senses..
..Shaktimaan was not present there at that time.'
'And Gangadhar came there all of a sudden.'
'He has done the same so many times in the office.'
'When he came out after giving the autograph..
..I followed him quickly.'
'But when I opened the door, Shaktimaan had vanished..
..and Gangadhar had appeared.'
After all these incidents. I have an intuition whether..
..Gangadhar is not Shaktimaan.'
'I'm sure something is fishy out here.'
'Let there be darkness forever.'
'Darkness won't fade away.'
Finally you are freed after two thousand years..
..from the monk Komlata's curse.'
All this is due to your kindness, Tamraaj Kilvish.
Not due to me, say it's because of that pious girl..
..good girl Hema's favour.
She placed the sword in your hand due to curiosity..
..and made you alive once again.
Your life shouldn't go waste this time.
It won't go, Tamraaj.
The birth of Kashtak's on this universe means..
..the escalation of troubles and sorrows.
Kashtak won't let anybody smile in this world.
Now the whole world will bow down..
..in front of my sword Khadgi.
I know once again your ambition has woken up.
You want to conquer the universe.
Of course.
My sword Khadgi still has the same strength.
But now the world has changed it's not same like before..
..two thousand years back world..
..the one whom you will be able to conquer..
..with the force of your sword.
Why what's wrong with this world?
It has progressed a lot. Man has become very cunning.
Science has progressed a lot.
And along with all this such a man has taken birth..
..who is much greater than Komlata.
He has come to spread peace on this universe.
His name is Shaktimaan. It's very difficult to finish him.
Your sword alone will not be able to kill him.
What is your command for Kashtak then?
The world can be your slave, but that is possible only when..
..you will take Vikrant's help and you'll kill Shaktimaan.
As you wish my lord.
Don't forget our biggest enemy is Shaktimaan.
Make him your slave as soon as possible..
..and take these super natural powers from me.
Now your sword 'Khadgi' can trap anybody.
Darkness won't fade away, Tamraaj Kilvish.
Let there be darkness forever.
