Guards!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Tomorrow, your personal twitter

handle should generate the trend

#AnuradhaisourPM

Aconite!

Poison.

Just one minute, Dad.

Your heart will stop.

And the postmortem reports will be clean.

Hello.

I have a deal for you.

Who is it?

Devki Nandan has been m*rder*d.

What do you want?

I would like to speak with Ms. Anuradha.

Listen, I'm very busy.

I can't talk right now.

Stop this nonsense. I'm hanging up.

This could be the most

important phone call of your life.

So, listen to me carefully.

Devki Nandan was m*rder*d.

His son k*lled him.

And, why are you telling me this?

This information might help you.

Do you have proof?

It will cost you.

How much?

A hundred

crores.

Have you lost your mind?

Listen, I've already told you

if you're fooling around,

it's really not funny.

Well, let me give you a sample.

It'll cost you one crore.

Try it.

If it works

you can pay me the rest.

I'm not fooling around Ms. Maithili.

And, I could always go to

other members of your party.

Where do you want the money?

Note it down.

He's someone else.

"The prime minister did not die of

a heart attack. He was m*rder*d."

This is the rumor that's going around.

He was using the internet for the call.

He says it was a m*rder as well.

Can be some 20-year-old

tech-savvy guy from Ranchi

influenced by some

Hollywood spy-thrillers.

It could be worth a shot.

Keep walking.

Go on.

Can you see a blue trash can to your left?

Yes.

Dump your bag in it.

Just like that?

Where's my proof?

You'll get it.

I need my 99 crores as well.

Dump the bag.

Go to South Block on the opposite end.

I'm warning you, if you are

fooling around, it's really not funny.

I'm not, Ms. Maithili.

Cross the road.

Are you there?

I'm right in front of South Block.

Good.

Do you see a green trash can?

Yes.

Go there.

Now?

Empty the trash can.

Seriously?

You want the proof, right?

What am I looking for?

A box of condoms.

Strawberry flavor.

There's no box here.

You know what condoms are, right?

You'll find it.

Check again.

Yeah, got it.

What next?

Open it.

The proof is in here?

You'll find it in there.

Did you have any snacks?

Well, we've called for some samosas.

We were about to--

Would you like some parathas?

-No, it's okay.

-With some cottage cheese, onions

and some seasoning.

Yeah, if you insist--

m*therf*cker!

Who did this?

How does Anuradha know?

I've known Dr. Pathak and Dr. Sooraj

for fifteen years, Samar.

If my sense and intuition is right

they won't betray us.

The man who died the day before

I had known him for forty years.

So, your logic doesn't

seem to work for me, Divya!

The doctors have been under

your supervision, anyway.

And, Gurpal seems to know a lot more.

He's been taking care of them.

But he's not looking after you, is he?

Really?

You're suspecting me, Ayesha?

I know it's a f*ck up.

But we're all in this together.

Listen, Samar

screaming won't help us.

Just remember one thing, guys.

If this comes to light

I'm not the only one involved.

We're all in this together.

I'm not alone in this sh*t!

Gurpal!

Get all the information you

can about these doctors.

You round them up.

I want to know

how this information has leaked!

-Yes?

-Good morning, sir. I'm Sharat.

I'm here on behalf of your

CCTV camera's company.

I'm here for the annual maintenance.

May I see your file?

Why don't you fix your

bloody camera first?

Wait here.

I'll get the file.

Done.

It's working, sir.

Please call before you

show up the next time.

Sure, sir.

Mr. Gurpal

the camera is working.

Hello, Dr. Pathak.

Mr. Gurpal!

You--

What's wrong, doctor?

You're not breathing steadily.

What are you--

-Is your blood pressure alright?

-Yes.

I'm alright.

There's a problem.

Someone has ratted us out.

Everyone involved is

now under the scanner.

What I'm trying to say is,

if you're the one who did it,

tell me right now.

The Greater Noida road has an

infamous history of people getting shot.

That's the route

you take every day, right?

I swear!

Mr. Gurpal

I didn't do it.

Please, believe me!

I didn't do it!

Trust me.

The students of VNU have called

for a protest at the Vivekananda statue.

The Indian Farmers' Association has

also lent its support to this protest.

The protests have erupted

after a video shot by VNU student

Shiva Shekhar went viral.

We tried to contact him,

but he has refused to talk to us.

He says, he'll say everything he has to,

at the Vivekananda statue tomorrow.

I also said that I don't

trust their channel.

Give me some more butter!

Come on!

Our lad is now a star!

It might sound like a cliché,

but we need people like you in politics.

That's the problem, brother!

If I become a politician,

I won't be myself.

I will make a much better civil servant.

What did Samar say?

You should have seen his face, Maithili.

The information was right.

Will he agree?

Does he have a choice?

I wanted to shove him into the pyre.

You did.

Did the informer call?

No, ma'am.

I've been trying to track him.

But

we have not been able to trace him.

Does he know?

No.

All he cares about

is his defence ministry.

Maithili

I want you to draft

the prime minister's

annual Independence Day speech this year.

I have a solution.

We can stop her constitutionally if

you're sworn in as soon as possible.

You know, before she does anything.

You mean, get her arrested?

It won't work.

What proof does she have?

Just that the poison

was the cause of death.

She can't link us to the poison.

What if she does?

We could pin it on someone else!

There are so many people in this house.

The servants, the drivers,

the secretaries, any of them!

I really hope the

doctors have betrayed us.

Because, if they haven't

I don't know what we can do.

Our topic for the day is

satisfaction of the body and the mind.

We could also talk about

satisfaction during the winters

but, we'll talk about it later.

Satisfying your body is easy.

This is not the right

platform to talk about it.

You're all educated people.

So, you can understand.

But satisfying the mind,

that's not easy.

It requires years of

patience and hard work.

But yes

if you manage to achieve it

it reinvigorates your soul!

You become a source of energy

to everyone around you.

We shouldn't meet in the library.

Did you get the job?

I did meet Riddhi.

But she told me they don't have a vacancy.

It's okay.

I'll try elsewhere.

So, what's up with

you and Shiva?

I'm not crossing the line, am I?

We'll have to decide

where we draw the line.

Sandhya's gonna be the new dean.

Ever since I got the news I'm

I'm feeling a bit weird.

I have to leave, sir.

You should try asking

yourself some questions.

So, you're the new dean!

I haven't accepted the position yet.

Should I?

Of course!

Boss at home!

And now, the boss at the college!

Come back, Sandhya.

Don't start this again, Jigar.

Just don't!

Are you happy?

Hello!

Good morning!

Yes.

You could have told me.

I wouldn't be here.

Did you ask?

We're not divorced yet!

You should have thought about it.

Divorce papers.

Please spare me the moral education.

You were f*cking 20-year-olds

when we were still married.

We're still married.

And you're still f*cking them!

That is why,

I'm telling you

sign them

and end it.

He's making you the dean, right?

"Moral Education."

f*ck you, Sandhya!

We're not guilty, Samar.

A part of you might feel guilty.

It might tell you you're guilty.

We need to get rid of it.

You did the right thing.

It will all be over once

we scatter his ashes.

Sir, I've interrogated both the doctors.

The two are scared shitless.

They did not give out any information.

But I am watching them.

One more thing, sir

we don't have much time,

we must decide

if we want to scatter uncle's ashes

in Haridwar or in Benaras?

-Long live the revolution!

-Long live the revolution!

Thousands of students and farmers

are here at the Vivekananda statue.

-Hail Mother India!

-Hail Mother India!

It is being said that Delhi has not seen

such a huge protest

for the past thirty years.

And this is happening

at a very short notice

and without the support

of any political party.

We're at the JLD headquarters

and Mr. Samar Pratap and his wife,

Ayesha, have just made an entrance

for an extremely important

core committee meeting.

All the senior party

leaders have already arrived.

And the country might soon learn

the name of its next prime minister.

As you can see, Shiva Shekhar

has now reached the Vivekananda statue.

And he is about to extend his support

to this farmers' movement

against the government!

-Long live the revolution!

-Long live the revolution!

On the other hand,

our sources tell us that

the central core committee

is largely in favor of

Samar Pratap being

our next prime minister.

I would like to make it very clear,

that I've already withdrawn my contention!

And, this won't be up for discussion.

-I want to make it clear once and for all.

-Uncle!

Uncle, please be calm.

Please, have a seat.

I would like to propose

Mr. Samar Pratap's name for the role.

-Perfect!

-We agree!

Thank you.

But, right now,

I'm not in a position

to take up this role.

-What are you saying, Samar?

-How is this possible?

It has to be you!

Please, listen to me.

Ideally,

it should have been Mr. Gopal Das.

But he has already

withdrawn his contention.

The next best option,

in my opinion,

and I do believe,

you'll support me today

the way you have supported

my father through dire times.

I propose Anuradha Kishore

be named the chairperson of

JLD's Parliamentary Committee

and India's next prime minister.

-What is he saying?

-What is he doing?

Why isn't Mr. Samar taking

up the responsibility?

-Long live the revolution!

-Long live the revolution!

-Hail our soldiers!

-Hail our farmers!

-Hail Mother India!

-Hail Mother India!

I would like to start by saluting

all the students who,

over the course of history,

have brought many tyrannical

governments to their knees

with the power of democracy!

And, I salute our

revolutionary Bhagat Singh!

Who has taught us,

"Study with all your might!

But when the time comes, get your

asses out on the streets and fight!"

How did you do this?

He's mourning.

I don't know if you're with him.

But what you guys did to me--

I need you.

And if I were slightly less ambitious,

I would propose your

candidature right now.

Does everyone agree,

or should we have a vote?

-Let's have a vote!

-Why do we need to?

-Mom's the prime minister.

-Hold your horses, son.

I don't think we need to have a vote.

Congratulations,

Madam Prime Minister!

-Thank you.

-Yeah!

We've just received the

news that Anuradha Kishore

will be the next prime minister!

Her party has been in power for

the past three terms in our country!

In Malakpur, her government

their g*ons

and their impotent police

have wreaked havoc!

We've seen it with our own eyes!

For that,

I thank Anuradha Kishore

and Jan Lok Dal!

And I wish them all the best!

For this time, they fight us!

-Long live the revolution!

-Long live the revolution!

-Hail our soldiers!

-Hail our farmers!

-Hail Mother India!

-Hail Mother India!

We have two big news for you today.

On one hand,

Shiva Shekhar roared at

the Vivekananda statue,

as he led the farmers' protest,

while on the other,

JLD's core committee

took a historic decision.

They have preferred Anuradha Kishore

over Samar Pratap Singh

to be the country's next prime minister.

Our sources tell us,

that Samar Pratap Singh is not a

popular name within the party circles.

And is deemed to be incapable of

being the nation's prime minister.

If the sources are to be believed,

Samar's late father Mr. Devki Nandan

shared the same opinion.

On the other hand,

Anuradha Kishore was not only

a close aide to Mr. Devki Nandan

but she has also been an influential

leader within the party circles.

Also, senior party leaders say that,

when it comes to politics,

Samar Pratap Singh is just a kid.

Is the decision of JLD's core committee

Anuradha Kishore's victory?

Or is it Samar Pratap Singh's defeat?

Only time will tell.

In other news,

Shiva Shekhar roared at the

Vivekananda statue at the VNU campus.

Ayesha, let's have dinner.

He has called out the JLD government.

-He has vowed to

-Gurpal!

continue the farmers' protest until the

new Anuradha Kishore government

agrees to meet their demands.

It's time we change

the rules of this game.

I didn't get you, sir.

If you can't be the king

be the kingmaker.

You mean,

if you can't be the king

ensure that you have

the king by his ba*ls.

That's a better way to put it.

Do you know, Gurpal?

When Chanakya wanted

to overthrow Dhana Nanda

he used Chandragupta.

And I've found my Chandragupta.

Get me more information on this boy.

For that, I thank Anuradha Kishore

and Jan Lok Dal!

And I wish them all the best!

For this time, they fight us!
