[Sound of dust settling]

[Dramatic music]

From time immemorial

to this very day

The world as we know it

The world order

we see and understand

has actually been controlled by

some mysterious forces

that remain hidden from our sight.

Among these,

only two dominant forces

continue to hold power today.

Within British-American

Intelligence Agencies

these two polarities are identified

by two code names.

The first:

codenamed "God Axis",

a covert Afro-Chinese nexus...

known as "Shen Triad."

The second:

Codenamed "Lucifer Nexus",

an Indo-Arab mega syndicate,

called "Khureshi-Ab'raam".

[Dramatic music]

OVERLORD

The land gets infected by deceit.. ,

and truths get twisted into lies..,

if cloaked in times as dreadful as these.

Struggling to stay afloat,

in a sea of burning tears,

are a people

with heads hung low.

Who do they search for..,

with those dreary eyes..,

to guide..? To lead..?

Who else but You!

The Anonymous warrior!

The king of material realms!

The duke of darkness!

O' Overlord...

O' Overlord...

O' Overlord...

O' Overlord...

O' Overlord!

O' Overlord!

O' Overlord!

O' Overlord!

Even desperate pleas

And heart-wrenching prayers

Fall on deaf ears

of the many Gods here.

The essence of the front

is You!

The King of material realms..

is You!

The soul of darkness-

Its You!

O' Overlord!

O' Overlord!

O' Overlord!

O' Overlord!

O' Overlord!

O' Overlord!

O' Overlord!

O' Overlord!

Hello..?

Abba..?

Where are you..?

No, no.

Don't come back.

[Vehicle reversing]

Im hiding in the alley behind.

Inside Wazim's shop.

Abba, are you all okay..?

Tell Haniya--

- Mohsin..?

[Sound of skull cracking]

This wasnt supposed to happen.

But now, youre all safe.

Stay together and spend

the night here.

By morning,

this madness will subside

and people will come

to their senses.

Then, well talk openly

and discuss things.

Theres enough space

for all of you in our storehouse.

Go rest for the night.

Munna!

Make arrangements

for everyone.

Yes, Mausi.

Of course!

[Rising background score]

Masood!

Make sure to tell your children...

what they witnessed today

was neither faith nor religion.

It was just a game of politics.

And in our country,

politics is just a business..,

which knows neither

Hindu nor Muslim..,

neither man nor woman..,

neither soul nor honour.

It trades everything away.

When religion and politics join hands..,

it's like a flame

thrown into gunpowder.

At least, our children

must understand this.

May Allah keep you safe, Sister!

May Ram protect you!

[Touching music]

Shut the gates to the Haveli.

Okay.

[Gate closing]

[Indistinct conversation]

Your due date is just

one month away.

If you keep getting stressed

like this, it won't be good.

Mohsin will come, my child...

Don't you worry.

But why is he taking so long?

[Confrontation continues]

Say something!

What are we doing here..?

[Dramatic music]

[Confrontation continues]

[Door opening]

No matter what you hear

or see, don't come out.

Don't speak, don't make a sound!

Abba, I'm scared.

Where are you going..?

Abba!

Die, you wretch!

Die! Die!

What is this, Munna..?

Shes your Mausi

Your aunt!

And youre cursing her like this..?

Calling her names..?

[Bulb flickering on and off]

[Fire crackling, g*nshots]

Bhaiyya...

What do we do with her..?

Spare the old hag.

Why..?

When you have not even spared

the unborn child..,

why are you sparing

this old woman..,

who's already at deaths door..?

[Dramatic music]

But if you think...

that in the darkness of this night,

nobody sees anything..,

that in these screams and chaos,

nobody hears anything..,

Then remember this!!

His eyes watch everything.

He hears it all.

[Knocks on wall]

Right here!

Even now!

[Knocking continues]

[Background music]

The rest of it...

Go and tell Him yourself!

No tears! No mercy!

No fatigue!

[Generator powers on, electricity returns]

We were taught that

if it rains continuously..,

we'd have electricity

throughout the year.

But now, when it rains..,

the wind knocks out our power lines..,

and floods wash away our homes.

As if that weren't enough..,

there's this dam,

like the sword of Damocles.

Only God can help us,

when the monsoon arrives.

And gift us a benevolent shelter..?

Pray! Whos the king here..?

Our Chief Minister is building a wall

around the dam.., isn't he..?

After that, we shouldn't

have to worry, right..?

A surrounding wall!

Had Krishnan been alive, he would

have told you a lot of inside stories..,

about that check dam project!

Where is Govardhan, dear..?

He is inside, Father.

Into some deep research.

[Phone ringing at the reciever's end]

- Hello..?

- Ah! Karthik...

I tried calling

you several times.

Couldn't reach you.

Tell me, Govardhan.

I was on a flight.

Just landed.

Karthik,

I need to know

something urgently.

It's about a rumour that has been

circulating on the dark web for a while.

This Baldev...

What's the reason for Baldev's

sudden interest in Kerala..?

What..?

Govardhan..,

I'm not here to play Robin

in your Batman vigilantism act.

I'm an executive of the Central IB.

Hope you remember that.

I had asked you about

something, didn't I..?

What's the status on that..?

Stephen.

Where is he now..?

Were you able to find any

information on Stephen..?

Tell me that first.

Yes, I'm on it.

I'm on it, Karthik.

I assure you.

At the earliest, I'll find something.

As soon as I know something,

I'll call you immediately.

You'll be the first

person to know.

But Karthik..,

Listen!

This is important.

I need to know this.

Why!

Why does Baldev have this

sudden interest in Kerala..?!

I heard that he's coming here.

- Why..?

- Let me see.

Let me ask around.

If I get any information,

I'll inform you.

And, Govardhan..,

I hope you know.

Now.., satellite phones too can

be detected through surveillance scans.

Don't worry, Karthik.

This is an original 1990 Iridium model.

No modern surveillance

system will be able to detect it.

[Car engine sound]

[Cars approaching]

Ah! This is not fair!

You keep resigning posts at the

drop of a hat, just like Antappan!

Varma Sir, I've been wearing

this Khadi for 35 years.

There's an art that Khadi-wearers

pick up right from the start.

The art of mincing words.

I haven't mastered it yet.

So, let me be direct with you.

When Stephen Nedumpally left the IUF in

Jathin Ramdas's hands and disappeared..,

I had believed...

that this party and this State...

would be steered in the right direction.

But.., I was wrong.

We are heading exactly where

Bimal Nair would have taken this party to.

Except for NPTV, all the news channels

in this state have been breaking news...

about Jathin Ramdas's

multiple corruption scandals.

I figured it was best to resign, before the

public finds out about the commission...

taken from the Korean company for

the new check dam in Nedumpally.

I've had enough!

Ah! Hey!

Peethambaran!

[Footsteps slowly fading]

Can we really blame him, sir..?

This has become like monarchy!

Whatever Jathin Ramdas

says, we must obey.

We shouldn't obey

anyone else, but him.

And we're expected to swallow

his words without question.

Back in PKR's time..,

even a primary IUF member knew...

exactly what he would say and do.

PKR never went

against the party's policy.

But this

Is this chap really his son..?

Don't you have anything

to say about this, Varma sir..?

Jathin Ramdas is the party leader of IUF...

and the Chief Minister of this State.

He shouldn't be addressed like this,

with such disrespect.

You heard me..?

Aye!

This is IUF!

Now they are all family...

and we're just expendables.

That's not the real worry.

RPI (M) and Medayil Rajan...

are going to have

a field day with this.

The party conference

is tomorrow, isn't it..?

The dance rehearsals must

be in full swing right now.

In Kerala, struggling under

the barbaric rule of IUF

Reeking with the corruption tales

of the PKR scion...

One hero! One saviour!

Comrade Medayil Rajan!

I can't believe this.

He's quite immature,

and he's into Hawala

transactions as well.

Since he has already

taken a commission,

he has no choice but to build

the check dam in Nedumpally.

Hmm..?

But...

will he really resort to

extreme measures like you say..?

Even though a setback for

the IUF works in our favour,

the last ray of hope for secularism--

My dear Comrade..,

we both know you don't

truly feel this sorrow.

What we need is a 'good today'.

A 'good tomorrow' can always wait.

But doesn't Ramdas's daughter

have an opinion on this..?

[Applause]

Motherless, I was raised

by my father alone.

That...

That solitude;

it has taught me many lessons.

If the words that must be spoken...

at the right time..,

in the right way..,

are left unsaid..,

then a girl.., errr..,

a woman...

might not be able

to leave a mark...

of her being alive.

Now is the time

for women to speak.

This era must bear

the undeniable mark of women.

This DET event on...

women's renaissance.

I don't know whether I'm the right

person to inaugurate it.

You said I was.

So, here I am.

Thank you, and...

wishing every single one of you

all the best.

[Applause grows louder]

Now is the time for women to speak.

This era must...

Since I wrote your speech,

I'll take credit for the wordings.

But Mom, your modulation!

It was really off.

When delivering punchlines, you

need more confidence, don't you..?

Like Grandpa.

Even Jathin's speeches;

haven't you heard those..?

[Phone ringing]

Hello, Arundhathi.

Ma'am, do you have any

information on the agenda

for the CM's public meeting tomorrow..?

There are many rumours circulating

in party circles and on media.

If you could substantiate it..,

it would've helped us

prepare our team.

I don't know, Arundhathi.

It's best to ask

Jathin about all these.

Oh! Okay, Ma'am.

She has no clue!

Now, we welcome our

respected State President..,

Shri Sajanachandran Ji..,

to address the gathering.

[Applause, cheers]

[Cameras clicking]

Hail! Hail!

[Akhanda Shakti Morcha:

Heritage Preservation Convention]

The Kerala-born, son of India!

Hail Sajanachandran!

Hail! Hail!

Hail Sajanachandran!

The ones who laughed

at Akhanda Shakti Morcha for so long!

The ones who booed, who jeered!

Those traitors, who sneered at us,

claiming that our glorious flags...

that bear our swords of victory,

would never fly high in Kerala!

From tomorrow..,

they will be forced

to swallow their own words!

When I said we'd win 35 seats in

Kerala Legislative Assembly last time..,

when I declared that Kerala would be ruled

by the leader of our choice..,

those who betrayed us

and ensured our defeat..,

those who hid behind

the walls of YouTube and Facebook..,

mocking us with their

memes and trolls..,

and laughed at us repeatedly;

their laughter...

would soon turn as dark

as this night that surrounds us!

News that shall send shock waves

across Kerala's pseudo-secularist ranks...

would soon be heard!

[Applause intensifies]

[Intense music]

[Rain falls]

[Kerala State - 1]

Hi, Jathin.

Hey. Hi...

- How are you..?

- Am good.

What's the status of your

Columbia University admission..?

I've applied for it.

Waiting.

Fingers crossed!

I'm sure you'll get through.

I hope so.

You guys talk.

I need to send a couple of emails.

Does the CM still remember

the way to his official residence..?

[Nedumpally Check Dam

Protest Meet]

You are active in Nedumpally.

Aren't you..?

Isn't it the land that transformed

our father into PKR..?

They invited me,

and I agreed to go.

That's all.

Do you realize this

is a calculated move,

supported by Maoists,

against me and the party, sister?

I don't know about that.

However, I do believe their

argument holds some merit.

So, you too are against me!

Wait.

I'll get you coffee...

I'm in a hurry.

I have a few meetings to attend.

I'm no stranger to a

CM's busy schedule.

[Mysterious music]

When did you pick up this habit..?

I used to smoke in college.

I quit somewhere along the way,

but now I'm back at it.

Jacqueline..?

We...

moved on.

I'll tell you why I'm here.

Tomorrow, I'll be making

an important announcement.

Don't ask me

what it is right now.

No matter what it is..,

or whoever reacts against it..,

I don't want any public

statements from you.

No matter what you decide,

PKR had certain basic principles

that he followed in politics.

As long as you don't go against them..,

I shall remain silent.

Principles!

Equality!

Brotherhood!

Secularism!

Sister,

there is a lesson that I have learned,

in the past five years.

No one here wants

any religious harmony.

At every opportunity, they've

turned religions against each other..,

or tried to appease them

under the name of secularism.

I'm talking about all politicians,

including our father.

Why do you still

hate him so much..?

If a son doesn't come to light

his own father's funeral pyre..,

there can be only be

two reasons for it.

One,

the father hated his son.

Two,

the son hates his father.

In this case, both are true.

To meekly follow

someone else's orders..,

and to be a namesake,

proxy Chief Minister;

that's something I have never

promised anyone.

I have never felt that I am part

of PK Ramdas's legacy.

So now..,

I'm going to create my own.

[Rising background score]

[PKR Memorial Day, Chief Guest:

Jathin Ramdas, Chief Minister of Kerala]

Long live... IUF!!!

Chief, he's here!

Long live... Jathin Ramdas!!

[Sirens]

Long live... IUF!!!

[Slogans echo through the crowd]

Long live... Jathin Ramdas!!

Long live... IUF!!!

[Applause, chatter, cheering]

[Applause continues]

[Applause heard through the TV]

[Applause continues]

[Applause heard through the TV]

Namaskaram.

Five years ago,

my only credential was that

I was PK Ramdas's son.

And that's how I assumed

the leadership of this party.

I made you a promise,

back then:

that the IUF would emerge

victorious in the coming election.

That we would triumph!

And I kept that promise.

[Applause, chatter, cheering]

[Applause heard through the TV]

[Applause]

However..,

I did not realize back then,

that the true trial would begin...

the very moment I sat on

the Chief Minister's chair.

In this w*r that PK Ramdas

left behind,

those who constantly tried

to sabotage this party and this State

were not the enemies

who confronted us directly..,

but the very ones who stood

behind me and beside me;

my own colleagues in the IUF.

Sir, is he really going to

wash our dirty linen in public..?

Someone who abandoned this land and its

people long ago should not be dictating...

the policies of the political front

ruling a State.

Five years ago..,

I stood before you

and made a solemn vow:

to ensure a government

free of corruption...

and untouched by favouritism.

Those were my promises.

Unfortunately..,

neither the IUF nor I...

have succeeded in fulfilling it.

To honour that vow..,

today, on my father's death anniversary..,

I stand before you with a decision.

I, Jathin Ramdas, am quitting the IUF.

[Intense music]

Instead, to be the dutiful

son of my father..,

to be a son, a brother, and a friend

to each and every one of you..,

today, I am founding

a new party:

IUF (PKR).

[Intense music]

In the upcoming elections..,

IUF (PKR) will compete

as a new political front.

Imbibing the spirit and vision

of PK Ramdas and this land..,

we will form a new government.

Today, Kerala...

is a politically isolated island.

In this country's political landscape..,

it carries no weight.

A small, insignificant State

that no one cares about.

But, unlike Kerala's outdated

political fronts..,

as we move forward

in this journey..,

IUF (PKR)...

will not be alone.

[Helicopter sounds]

[Helicopter grows louder]

[Dramatic music]

To steer this movement forward..,

to lead us as a guiding light..,

joining us today, is my friend...

and mentor.

I invite him on to the stage.

Friends, please welcome...

Baba Baldev..!!

Move in!

Okay, Chief!

[Old letter from Stephen Nedumpally]

[Intense music]

A massive conspiracy is unfolding

in our State politics right now.

A man with no formal

position in Indian politics..,

yet one of the three high priests of ASM,

the country's biggest political party..,

Baba Baldev..!!

Why should he come

to this small State of Kerala...

and join hands with

Jathin Ramdas..?

[Car sound]

[Thunderclap]

I don't know where he is.

But everyday, in my prayers..,

his face is always

the first to appear.

[Thunderclap]

Wherever he is..,

may he find peace.

If we closely observe history..,

one thing becomes clear.

After every great downfall..,

there are two common phrases

that people always repeat.

"Could have..."

"Should have..."

Within these two phrases

hides a silent, unspoken letter.

And its silence...

is the cause of the

catastrophe that ensues.

And that letter is...

[Thunderclap]

What is this... "L"..?

It's a name I...

A long time ago..,

once used for Stephen.

So, Stephen...

If you are out there..,

if you're listening to this..,

come back!

Save your land!

Save...

God's own country!

We've got to hit the

Let's go!

Sir, the Senegal consignment

is moving.

[Authoritative music]

Boris!

The stats on the AI hit rate of

disrupting the Russians' arms-flow, are in.

Not now, Christine.

Could you leave it

on my desk, please..?

But they're waiting for your sign

to deploy the beta software.

Well, they'll just have

to wait a bit longer.

This is the largest single shipment

they've ever moved.

It could be worth a

billion dollars or more.

We believe they're using

Senegal as a transit zone to Europe.

Origin of the drugs..?

Latin America.

That's the corridor.

Still en route through the port.

[Rising background score]

McCarthy has been

taken as a human shield.

It is on!

[Intense music]

Robert McCarthy,

Interpol Agent,

missing in action while shadowing

the Kabuga cartel in Dakar, Senegal.

Sergei Leonov,

ex-handler in the

Khureshi-Ab'raam nexus,

suspected defector,

believed to be now working

for the Kabuga cartel.

Although the intel

isn't fully reliable..,

we have reasons to believe

he maybe helping McCarthy.

Who do we have on the ground..?

Michelle Menuhin of the SAS and the

team of commandos are in position...

at the Guinea border.

As soon as the convoy crosses over

to Sierra Leone, they will intercept...

and extract McCarthy.

[Metal scraping the ground]

[Vehicle engine sounds]

[Weapons being c*ck]

[Rising background score]

In position and ready to engage.

I'm telling you again!

This is too risky.

They'll be waiting for us on

the other side of the border.

Don't worry, man!

Guinea might be theirs..,

but Senegal is all ours!

[Dramatic music]

Something's wrong.

They should have

made it here by now.

Do we have anything

on the drones..?

Hello..?

Hey!

HEY!

[Grand background score]

[Music ends]

[Mysterious music]

It's about something

you asked me long back.

I don't know if you're

still interested in this.

But I have some

new information on...

Khureshi-Ab'raam.

Yeah.

Yes, of course.

I'm interested.

What do you have..?

You will have complete access

to McCarthy's entire database.

You can find the necessary intel there.

Your mission head will be Boris Oliver.

You'll report entirely

to him from now on.

The new assignment

is the Khureshi-Ab'raam nexus.

To bring them down!

Like I have mentioned before..,

these drug cartels and Jihadi groups

are generally against K-A.

Sometime in the last 72 hours..,

in West Africa..,

K-A group ex*cuted an operation

against a drug cartel.

Unfortunately,

during that operation..,

the K-A nexus k*lled

an Interpol agent.

So, the top priority on the hit-list

of every Western Agency...

is the Khureshi-Ab'raam nexus.

This is personal for me.

They k*lled Robert.

The Kabugas are a drug cartel.

And Khureshi-Ab'raam

in their entire history...

has been against the drug trade.

K-A was after Kabuga

and the drug shipment.

Robert was only collateral.

That file..;

it only contains a few features...

and news articles already

available on the dark web.

But this...

This is deeply classified!

The files and photographs inside

Theyre top-level information.

Heavily encrypted too.

Once opened, every file

will auto-delete when you close it.

Robert McCarthy was a friend, sir.

He had been after the K-A nexus

for years now, and I know this.

Even the image we're seeing now

was first identified by Robert.

He wasn't just collateral.

Agent Menuhin!

You may not be aware,

but there is a new force at play.

A larger nexus!

Maybe even more

powerful than K-A.

Chinese, in origin..,

called the 'Shen Triad'.

The agencies have

a code name for them.

Karthik..,

have you...

heard of the 'God Axis'..?

- What..?

- 'God Axis'!

The 'Shen Triad'!

Why should I know this..?

Because the enemy of an enemy...

is a friend..,

Agent!

What..?

Nothing.

As someone once said..,

Those who bear my legacy..,

As IUF (PKR), the new party founded

joins hands with ASM in Kerala..,

there's hope that even our most

ambitious dreams would soon materialize.

I can't believe you're doing this.

Let's start with ASM Ernakulam district

President, Sudharman Kalamassery.

Mr. Sudharman, with this merger,

is Kerala going to change..?

IT hubs..,

world-class infrastructure..,

IUF (PKR), in alliance with ASM,

is sure to bring all these to our State.

A hopeless party!

An even more hopeless party channel...

Why this frenzy..?

As much as I need Baldev,

Baldev needs me just the same.

And I know that.

Oh no! Someone has misled you, sir.

In the grand political

banquet of 543 dishes..,

Kerala offers nothing more

than a mere 20 curry leaves.

And out of those 543

I dont need to tell you how

many belong to ASM, do I..?

Ensure that every case filed against me by

the central agencies is closed for good.

And IUF (PKR)'s funding

for the next five years..,

must be guaranteed.

Isn't it the first deposit in the new

partys account..?

Lets just say its a generous gift

from Baldev Ji.

I dont get it, Bhaiyya.

Why put in so much

effort for Kerala..?

Munna, two major container terminals..,

four international airports..,

a 600-kilometre-long coastline..,

and its politics..?

A complete wreck.

This is the perfect opportunity.

Youre the one contesting

Stephen!

You have a problem, Govardhan.

The very people you fight against

have always used you

as their weapon..,

every single time.

Once, without even you realizing it..,

I had used you, myself.

And today, with your full knowledge..,

some others are is using you.

Tell me, Stephen.

What are you hiding

from the world..?

A lot..!!

The internet and the dark web.

Theyre only good for dropping clues

and playing riddles, Govardhan.

If you really want the truth..,

youve got to be ready

to travel blindfolded like this..,

without knowing

where youre going.

Shall I say what you came

all the way here to tell me, Govardhan..?

Jathin Ramdas has lost his way

So astray.., that no

one can bring him back.

Who will save

Gods own country now..?

No idea.

You dont even know

who to turn to, for help.

When the Son of God himself

succumbs to sin..,

who else is there to turn to,

but the Devil?

Isn't it?

Stephen!

What exactly is your connection

with the Khureshi-Ab'raam g*ng?

Once, I had spotted a ring

on your finger

- That--

- I'll be using you once more.

But this time, you will play the game,

knowing my rules.

Youll only know

what you need to know

Only when you need to know it.

Isn't that enough..?

Yes.

But answer this one question.

Who are you, really..?

Across ages, across lands,

many have called me...

by many names.

Yet, of all the names

Ive been given..,

my favourites are...

the three names you gave me..,

each bearing the same meaning.

Lord of the Netherworld...

The one cast out from Heaven...

Mahiravana.

Iblis.

God damn it, Karthik!

Aren't you a CIB Officer..?

Do you also need a third-rate hacker...

to track down

Stephen Nedumpallys whereabouts..?

Sir, you're wrong.

Every agency in the world

uses search dogs like Govardhan.

Yeah, right!

More often than not..,

its people like him

who tread the paths we cant walk

and pick up the information...

none of us can access.

And also, the most

important thing is..,

when Stephen Nedumpally

vanished from this State, five years ago..,

the last person he contacted...

was Govardhan.

So, he's our best bet.

But there's something

I don't understand here.

A man who was once just

a mere legislator in Kerala politics

Why does he still scare you, sir?

Especially when you have

someone like Baldev backing you.

Karthik..,

I had no political lineage,

except for a surname.

If he could bring me

in from oblivion,

and make me sit on

the Kerala Chief Minister's chair..,

theres something

we dont know

in Stephen Nedumpallys story.

A political force

that every party in this State...

feared equally.

That was Stephen Nedumpally.

And now, as I make the biggest

political decision of my life,

I need to be absolutely sure

that Stephen Nedumpally...

wouldnt be there

to obstruct my path.

So, tell Baldev.

I want a guarantee...

that Stephen Nedumpally

will not be a part of this equation.

Ever again!

Breaking news coming in...

Former Nedumpally legislator...

and PKRs favourite protg,

Stephen Nedumpally..,

has been k*lled in a t*rror1st attack

in Iraq, as per unconfirmed reports.

While the total civilian

death-toll is still unknown,

it is reported that Kerala's ex-legislator

and IUF party member, Stephen Nedumpally--

Further details, confirming that it was

indeed Stephen Nedumpally who got k*lled..,

are expected to be released shortly

by the Indian Consulate in Iraq.

Since stepping down as legislator,

for the past five years,

Stephen had distanced himself

from politics and Kerala.

[Mobile notifications]

['Lucifer' movie's background score]

After PKRs passing,

a leader widely regarded by party

members and political observers...

to be the next

Chief Minister of the State...

has been lost to us too soon.

When PKR relinquished

the Nedumpally seat..,

Stephen had proven,

in a short span of time,

what a leader should

truly be to his people.

Preliminary reports indicate that...

Stephen Nedumpally was k*lled

under mysterious circumstances.

- Nedumpally ex-legislator...

- Lets meet on the 24th.

Stephen Nedumpally has reportedly

been k*lled in a t*rror1st attack in Iraq.

The loss feels even greater,

because Stephen was a leader...

who worked among his people

and stood for their welfare.

Now that its certain

Stephen isnt coming back..,

theres no stopping

Jathin Ramdas now!

It seems...

this marks the beginning

of defeat for both of us.

Oh, come on!

This could be a defeat for IUF.

But you dont need

to worry about RPI (M).

Ours was a movement that braved

the cannons of the British..,

and faced the wrath

of Indiras police..,

to emerge victorious.

Hmph!

This is exactly the problem

with you and your comrades.

Inchavila in the south!

Muthanga in the north!

Aryankavu, Kumily,

and Walayar in the east!

Your so-called 'movement' can flex

its muscles only within those borders!!

Thats your RPI (M)!

The batons and the cops here

could be a joke for you.

But whats coming...

is a whole different beast!

It's Baldev..!!

Baldev..!!

For the past 150 years..,

IUF has somehow managed

to keep these forces at bay.

And do you know

how we were able to do that..?

It was our leaders..,

who took great pains to comprehend them..,

and learned exactly how to stop them.

That's how our leaders

made textbooks of their lives!

Unlike you, we were led

by those great men!

Thats why!

Yeah, right!

And where has it got you now..?

But as of today, the Khureshi-Ab'raam

chapter is officially closed.

You'll be on a

three-month paid leave.

You... Err...

You get yourself well, Agent.

Oh! By the way..,

regarding your friend, Robert...

Seems Khureshi-Ab'raam might have done

the Agencies a favour.

Robert McCarthy was a double agent..,

working for the Kabuga cartel.

And the hope that Stephen Nedumpally

is going to return;

that too is dead now.

So, listen carefully.

or Priyadarshini Ramdass brother talking.

This is the Chief Minister

of this State talking.

It is the land

Several years before you

and I were even born..,

the king ruling a vassal state

of the British Empire..,

in his eagerness

to prove his loyalty to them..,

had signed a deal...

to build a reservoir...

that was to remain here

for 999 long years!

The Nedumpally Dam.

Those monarchs are all gone.

We drove out the colonial rulers as well.

And yet, even today..,

under the guise of democracy..,

we are still being

ruled by kings!

The solution to the dangers

posed by this dam

isnt to build a tentative

enclosure and call it a check dam.

Both you and I know that.

Then why

are they seizing

the lands of the poor tribals..,

encroaching forest land..,

laying foundation stones..,

beating up all

who raise their voices..,

and rushing the whole process..?

To fund their upcoming

election campaign..,

they've pocketed commissions under

the pretext of building this check dam.

betraying its people..,

who exactly are these so-called leaders

loyal to..? Whoever they are..,

I will stop them!

You will stop them!

We will stop them!

[Applause and cheering]

I do not believe

that blood ties hold any

value over human lives.

I know that the one who's

standing against me in this fight

is my own brother.

But... in the name of PK Ramdas,

as Nedumpallys guardian..,

I swear, as his daughter..,

that until my very last breath..,

I will not step back

To walk where even

angels dare not tread..,

To places so vile that even

It was due to the fear that something

untoward like this would happen..,

that I asked you not to go.

I know.., Uncle.

What should I do now..?

You must actively return

to the IUF. That's what we--

I will.

[Powerful background score]

But... I have four conditions.

Condition One:

My joining formalities with the IUF

must be completed here and now.

Two:

I will not be joining

as just another member.

I'll be stepping in as

the leader of this party.

[Powerful background score]

Three:

If I assume leadership

of this party..,

within hours..,

central investigation agencies will issue

a non-bailable arrest warrant against me.

In case that happens..,

every leader of this party

must stand with me.

I need that assurance,

right here, right now.

[Powerful background score]

Four:

As a celebration of my assuming

leadership of the party..,

tomorrow, in the presence

of all State and National media people..,

a grand public convention

should be held at PKR Bhavan.

[Powerful background score]

[Applause]

[Car sound]

[Indistinct conversation]

- Namaskaram!

- Namaskaram, sir!

Before he was brought in here

in an icebox for the last time,

this venue had echoed with countless

fiery speeches by Ramdas sir.

Do you think she can

live up to that, Bro..?

Dude!

If she is truly destined to become a leader

who understands the pulse of the people..,

then today.., she'll do

three things differently.

What are those..?

One:

She won't show up today, looking like

how people are used to seeing her so far.

[Powerful background score]

Two:

The fancy foreign car

she always uses?

That's not what she'll

be arriving in, today.

Shivanandan...

Not this car.

That one!

[Powerful background score]

What's the third one.., Bro?

Sumesh!

Great leaders aren't made

just by giving

a few street-corner speeches..,

by having their rivals

taken out by hired th*gs..,

or by forcing people to swap

black masks for white ones!

Then..?!

They will be able to ignite

something within people,

without the people

even realizing it.

And what's that.., Bro?

Hold on..,

I'll tell you.

[Indistinct conversation]

[Powerful background score]

[Music continues]

Namaskaram.

I don't know if I am qualified

enough to lead the IUF.

But..,

those willing to concede

this land to communalism...

Those who are prepared

to buy out this land...

Whether Priyadarshini Ramdas

is a worthy adversary to them..,

we'll find out today, right here.

If the only label

they have assigned me...

is that of a long-dead

great leader's daughter..,

they will not fear me.

On the contrary..,

if they fear that

PK Ramdas's daughter...

might gain the public support to lead this

land towards peace and brotherhood..,

against the direction

they choose to steer us..,

then, that fear

will be witnessed by all of you today..,

right here.

[Car sounds]

[indistinct clamouring]

This is nonsense!

This won't be allowed here!

Not a chance!

- Sir, we're only carrying out our orders.

- Peethambaran Uncle...

Let them through.

[Intense music]

[indistinct chatter]

Officer!

Do you have an arrest warrant..?

Yes, Ma'am.

What are the charges against me..?

Well...

PMLA Section 19..,

for money laundering.

There are more than

five cases.., Ma'am.

All non-bailable..,

right..?

Yes, Ma'am.

What is the arresting procedure..?

Nothing.

You just have to come with us.

According to these sections..,

shouldn't I be handcuffed

at the time of my arrest..?

Yes, Madam.

But...

Then handcuff me.

I said..,

handcuff me!

[Intense music]

Oh no!

Don't do that!!

[Powerful music]

Long live Priyadarshini Ramdas!!

Long live Priyadarshini Ramdas!!

Long live! Long live!

Long live... Priyadarshini Ramdas!!

[slogans echo through the crowd]

[Powerful music]

[Zindabad chants continue]

[Slogans being chanted]

These handcuffs on my hands.

You must see them.

All of you.

The whole world must see them.

This is how they bind

the hands that rise...

against injustice,

violence and communalism.

But..,

they can only chain our hands.

They can never defeat our ideologies.

Far stronger than these chains...

are the politics and culture

of this land.

Long live.. Hind!

[Powerful music, cheering]

Wow!!

The third one:

Didn't I say that a true leader can ignite

something unique within their followers..?

- Do you realize what that is, now?

- Yes!

Goosebumps!!

One is history!

The second has fallen!

But, here comes the third!!

Is there no end to this..?!

[Intense music]

Okay, sir.

I'm on an important trip right now.

I'll call you back later.

So, tell me once again.

What's today's agenda..?

Nothing major, sir.

Just a formality.

We're just meeting Baldev Ji

to finalize things.

- That's all.

- Hmm.

Oh, and after that..,

at the ASM anniversary event

in Thiruvananthapuram..,

we will officially announce...

our political alliance,

at a joint press conference.

You and I, sir.

Hmm.

[Intense music]

Please come, CM sir.

Get in.

Huh..?

I...

Chief, at the back..?

[in broken Hindi]

Munnabhai, the CM doesn't speak Hindi.

I c... can... translate.

Very well.

[in proper Hindi]

That won't be necessary.

I can understand Hindi.

And I can speak it very well too.

Let's go.

But I...

Damn it!

Pradham, Doosri, Praveshika,

Rashtra, Bhushan, Visharad...

All that for what..?!

The minute he got a chance, that Malayali

switched to Hindi and sped away.

What will we do now, Chief..?

After calling me 'Chief' and

tagging along everywhere,

are you also going

to curse me and vanish?

Never!

What is this.., Chief?

[Car sounds]

[Beeping sound]

[Beeping intensifies]

[Phone ringing]

Yeah, tell me.

Karthik...

Stephen is alive.

What..?!

[Powerful music]

[Loud beeping sound]

[Electric post crashes down]

[Electricity crackling, car halts abruptly]

Bro, what do we do?

Reverse the cars.

Let's take the highway.

Hey!

Get off me!

[Intense music]

[Cattle sound]

[Music ends]

I don't know who they were!

But right from beginning..,

there was one name he truly feared!

Stephen.

Just before the attack, I got the

information that Stephen is still alive.

[Intense music]

Baba, I think we should--

[Music continues]

[Jatin exhales deeply]

What is this place..?

Who is behind this..?!

Do you know who I am..?!

[Door opens]

[Rising background score]

[Door closes]

[Locking sound]

[Slowly spinning exhaust fan]

Brother!!

In India..,

especially in the IUF..,

there's an unwritten commandment.

When a political god dies..,

even if there are followers...

with the ability and

administrative experience...

to continue the good

things he started..,

they will not be supported.

Illicit offsprings...

shall not even be touched.

If the dogs, foxes, and cattle

of the party have to be kept in line...

without any infighting..,

if there has to be applause..,

if ballot boxes

are to be filled..,

the ones who bear the facial features

and skin colour of the departed God..,

his legitimate offsprings...

must be crowned and paraded.

But I was wrong.

It didn't take you even five years

to prove that even

legacy comes with chaffs.

To sit and listen to

this speech of yours..,

to obey everything you say..,

I am not that old Jathin anymore.

I am the CM who rules a State.

I didn't get so far, riding

on my father's name.

By taming the dogs

you spoke of earlier..,

by silencing the foxes..,

and by milking the cattle..,

if I could make it this far..,

then I know exactly

how far I need to go

and how to get myself there.

But, brother..,

the fact that Stephen Nedumpally...

could make it even this far..,

is a miracle in itself.

I don't know who

you're doing this for.

But, whoever is behind this..,

if they think...

they can just go back to wherever

they came from, after doing this..,

then you're mistaken.

Because today..,

PK Ramdas isn't here

to save you.

Dj vu!

Someone else had said this

very line to me, once before.

[Lucifer theme score]

[Phone ringing]

Jathin is calling.

This is not Jathin.

Who the hell are you..?

Do you even know

who you're messing with..?

I know..,

Balraj!

Karthik...

Balraj Patel.

I know the entire history

of how he became... Baba Baldev.

Tell him that.

If Baldev wants

his Dusshasan back..,

Priyadarshini Ramdas must walk

free from the detention centre..,

before the sun sets tomorrow.

"All charges against her...

have been dismissed

due to lack of evidence...".

That must be the headline...

on every news channel's

prime time, tonight.

Tell Baba Baldev this.

At the place of my choice..,

at the time I decide..,

if he comes,

under the conditions I set..,

we shall settle

an unfinished score...

with him.., there.

[Rising background score]

[Door opens]

Stephen!

You..?

Who are you.., really?

There was only one person

in your land, who knew that.

Who slaughtered your family..,

and made you an orphan..?

That night...

They...

They came and--

Hindustan!!

So.., who is the real enemy

of your community and your faith?

Hindustan!!!

Then tell me who truly

deserves your vengeance..?

Hindustan!!!

Insha Allah!!

Every land shall

echo with the cry

"Allah! Rasool Allah!"

From this day on.., you are

You have only one mission.

Decimation of the infidels!!!

I had asked you a question.

"What do you want to become..?"

Do you remember

[Heartbreaking music]

Revenge!!!

That day, I told you...

Your vengeance.

One day, it will no longer

be yours alone.

Your wait... is finally over.

By sundown tomorrow..,

the embers of vengeance

you've kept burning within you

must turn to ashes.

The one who finds joy in mercy

The ATS and Kerala Police

thwarted a t*rror1st attempt...

to b*mb the Nedumpally Dam.

It was following

an anonymous phone call...

that a catastrophe that could

have destroyed central Kerala

was stopped just in time.

The State held its breath.., as moments

of fear gripped an entire land...

Politics has certain truths to it.

Truths.., which the

so-called ordained heirs..,

who ascend and descend the ladders of power

on the strength of their lineage..,

tend to forget..,

or rather, deliberately

choose to forget.

Certain indisputable truths!

The truth.., that it was their ancestors,

who had readied

the ladder-rungs they ascend.

The truth.., of those who

understood the true value...

of every single drop of sweat

shed upon those rungs.

The truth..,

of those who realized...

the real might

of people's trust.

The truth.., of those...

who cemented the ladders

with their great sacrifices.

The truth..,

that what is yet to come...

is greater than what

has already happened.

The truth.., that beyond

victories and defeats..,

lies one's never-ending duty

toward one's people and one's land.

The truth.., that the gathering...

is greater than the podium.

[Background music]

Rohan, can I take

today's Prime Time?

Sure, Ma'am.

The truth.., that when a leader

betrays his cause..,

what gets destroyed,

are the hopes and dreams of millions.

[Background music]

The truth.., that each

act of remembrance

is also a reminder in itself.

[Vehicle sounds]

Ma'am, you're going live.

Five... Four...

Three...

The truth.., that the applause

that rises for every heir apparent...

carries within it... the respect

towards their predecessors.

But time and again..,

these so-called ordained heirs

keep forgetting these undeniable truths.

And then..,

only two outcomes await them.

Either damnation

into absolute obscurity..,

or the path to...

eternal resurrection.

[Sea breeze sound]

[Helicopter sound]

[Background music]

You have only two

choices now, Jathin.

One:

Return to the IUF unconditionally..,

stand by Priya

with unwavering support..,

be an obedient party worker..,

and exist, as nothing

more than 'PKRs son'.

Two:

Lend yourself to greater evil once again..,

and end up like

a Bimal Nair or a Baldev;

yet another controversial headline

splashed across the front pages.

The decision is yours.
