- Ma'am...
- Ma'am!
Ma'am, do you want to comment
on the Ansals' acquittal?
- What's your reaction to the verdict?
- Are you surprised by the verdict?
After the death of 59 people
if the court gives such a decision,
then what is the point of coming to court?
- It's a futile exercise.
- Neelam.
The only thing that was
proven in court today is that
the rich and powerful have
special rights in this country.
You can k*ll our children
and no one will bat an eye.
You won't get punished,
even the courts will acquit you.
I spent my entire youth,
20 years fighting this case.
Which court in the world takes
20 years to give a verdict?
And then offers this kind of judgment?
I'll be held in contempt of court
for speaking the truth.
Instead of wasting time in court,
I should have picked up a g*n that day
and shot the men who k*lled my children.
They'd have sent me to jail
but at least justice would've been served.
Ma'am, what's next?
Do you feel this is
a failure of our judicial system?
Will you challenge this verdict, Ma'am?
Is this a failure of our judicial system?
Listen, I want to tell you something.
Don't forget, it's day after tomorrow.
Yeah.
I think a lot of people are invited,
she's... Exactly!
Yeah.
Did you get her anything?
Unnati, you're going to be late.
Listen, I'm already late.
No. Me, Ujju and his friend. Okay?
Yeah, I'll tell him you said hi.
Okay? Bye.
You're not ready yet?
- Who was on the phone?
- Tina.
- Is she coming?
- No.
- What? I was just asking!
- Hurry up!
I thought she'd like the film.
Bye, Mama!
- I'll go get a rickshaw.
- Okay.
Ujjwal! Inhaler.
Give it to me.
- Bye, Mama!
- Bye!
I'm not waiting for him. Hurry up!
Come!
Hey, madam! Don't park there!
- Yeah? Hey!
- Don't park there!
- Hey, where then?
- Move it!
- Hey, do you need an invitation?
- Coming!
Back it up.
- A little more. That's enough!
- Stop.
Excuse me.
Come on, Mom. Get out.
Come on, quick! I'll be late.
You could've left us at home.
I told you,
I'll pick you up after my meeting.
Come on, now, go and enjoy the film.
Your mom's knees are hurting.
How will she sit for three hours?
What happened to her knees? It'll be fine.
Have you ever thought
about my convenience?
Should I spend my whole life
just running after you two?
I'll pick you up after the movie.
Please behave yourselves inside.
Call her.
This phone...
- I don't know how to work it.
- Give it here.
One ticket for balcony.
Bro, hurry up!
- Make sure we get a full house.
- Yes, sir.
Mr. Joe!
Hello.
Mr. Lin!
Please come.
We have very nice seats
for you in the upstairs balcony.
Ansal sir told us
you have never had samosas before?
Where the hell is Arjun?
Where is he? I'm not waiting for him.
He's coming.
Add it to my tab.
I told him to meet us here.
Leave his ticket at the counter.
I don't want to miss the beginning.
Your friend, you wait!
- What are you saying?
- I'm leaving.
Watch it!
- Hey, excuse me!
- Get lost!
Go, clean yourself.
What took you so long?
What happened now?
Forget it. I don't want to talk about it.
Better tell me before the trailers start.
Or you'll ruin the movie for me.
Speak up.
Same as always.
Papa will never understand.
Oi!
- Come here.
- Yes, sir.
Are you deaf?
No, I was just working...
- Okay. These are Mr. Ansal's guests.
- Yes, sir.
Take them to the VIP box.
Okay, sir.
Here.
- It's his 50th birthday...
- Uncle with the tractor?
And you're here instead?
Shame on you.
Okay, sorry, tell me.
What did your dad say?
He can't make me go.
Why should I change my plans
for people I don't care about?
We've been coming here for the last
ten years. I asked for box tickets.
Sorry, sir.
We can see it some other day.
- Where is Arora?
- He is...
Call him.
- You are too stubborn...
- We're already here, come on.
Special VVIP box.
Yeah. Ansal sir built this
for his own family.
Sure, sure.
Bro, lock the door.
I'm going to watch the first half.
Yeah, fun for you, dude.
Namaste! Enjoy!
Make a line.
I've got great seats in the balcony.
Move back! Come on.
Money first.
Come on, be quick. Let's go!
- Aunty!
- Yeah.
You brought a baby?
Baby's going to cry...
Hey, man! Take your ticket.
There's no point in talking in that house,
you just have to follow orders.
I'm glad we made it on time.
Did he?
No.
Thank God I've been away
from home for the last 10 years.
I don't know how I would've survived here.
- If it wasn't for Mom...
- What?
You would have left?
Just stop talking about it
and actually do it, huh?
The VIP box would have been nicer, right?
This way.
Go.
We're over here.
Papa, hurry up.
Let's go.
Papa, I'll take the middle seat.
Hurry.
That baby is going to make a scene.
It's okay. Maybe not.
If anyone gets in without ticket,
you're paying for them.
Understood? Now hurry up!
This way...
m*therf*cker!
Show has already started, kid.
There should be a ticket
under my name. Arjun Dhillon.
That's it. We're done.
Oh, no!
sh*t!
Hello!
Hello, anyone?
Where did you park my car?
- Sir, there's fire everywhere.
- What?
The whole garage is on fire.
It was fixed this morning,
have you gone mad?
Must be something else.
No one can do anything right.
Where are the fire extinguishers?
Brothers, it's spreading.
Go and get help!
Hardeep!
Look there's smoke.
This is why it's difficult
to watch a movie with you.
You keep pointing out things
that aren't happening.
Look there's smoke in the corner.
Should we tell someone?
Sir, there's smoke everywhere.
People are panicking,
please call the police!
What do you think I'm doing?
- It's busy.
- What did Mr. Ansal say?
Get f*cking lost! Leave me alone!
m*therf*cker...
It's hard to breathe.
Everybody stay calm.
Make a line
and move towards the fire exit.
- PA system is not working, sir.
- sh*t!
This way?
Try that side.
Move, please.
Keep the door open.
Hold on, don't hurry.
Make a line!
Hey, open! Open this!
It's locked!
Turn around!
Go back!
Let's go. Manas, come.
Get out!
Open the door!
The door is locked!
I'm telling you, it's locked!
Go back up!
Let me through!
Door is locked. Let's go back up!
Where's your inhaler?
- To my right, okay?
- Don't go up!`
Ujjwal!
Hold my hand!
Ujjwal!
Hold my hand!
Come on, wake up!
Get up!
Brother...
Help us!
I can't do anything.
Please, brother!
- Save us!
- Leave me!
Leave me! Let me go!
My baby!
That door is open.
We'll be fine.
Ruhi!
Ruhi!
Anand...
One second.
- Come on. Get up.
- Ruhi!
Good!
- Anand...
- Ruhi! Ruhi!
Hardeep!
Move!
Go, go!
Move!
- There is only one way! Now what?
- It's locked!
- Back up.
- Let's go back.
Out of the way!
Hey, move!
Let us through!
Tinku, come, son. This way.
Kamlesh, we are here.
Tinku, stop.
sh*t! Go back!
Go!
Move!
Make way!
Amit!
Do you have a ladder? Bring it.
Stop! Don't jump!
Someone please do something!
Stop! Don't jump!
Stop!
The tank is going to burst! The tank!
Run! Get out!
- You go ahead.
- What about you?
I'll be right behind you. Go, hurry up!
Easy!
Chirag, be careful!
Hold my hand!
Careful!
Amit!
- The phone lines are busy!
- Come with me, hurry!
Hey, give us a hand!
Move! Out of the way! To the side!
Chirag!
Don't push me. Don't push!
Don't push me!
Chirag!
Amit!
Give me a hand!
Yes, good.
Give it.
Give me the second one.
Jump!
- Come.
- Jump!
I'm holding it.
Nothing will happen to you! Come!
Amit?
Amit!
Give your hand!
Easy.
Open the door!
There's no more room inside.
Open up!
Open the door!
Open up!
Aunty!
Aunty...
Hardeep!
Hurry up, boys! Come!
Excuse me!
Sir, people are stuck
in the stairs back there.
Please help.
Sir, my friend is also there.
Get lost!
Hurry up, boys! Hurry up!
Hurry up, boys! Hurry up!
Hold him!
In the car!
Don't worry. You're safe.
Sir, please stay back!
Amit!
Amit...
Amit.
Get up!
Wake up.
Wake up. Please wake up!
Wake up, my child.
Wake up! Please wake up!
I'll do anything, please wake up.
Please, somebody save him!
Please, my child is dead!
Sohrab!
Please, somebody call a doctor!
Someone call...
You're finally up?
It's only 7:30.
I don't remember
which box 2001's court records are in.
I forgot.
Shekhar!
Right side, under accounts.
Check there.
You just going to stand there
or will you help?
I'm coming. First things first...
Good morning, ma'am.
We'll soon find out about that, won't we?
Hello, ma'am.
Good morning, ma'am.
Now, a new update.
500 posters have been sent
to every district of Jalandhar.
We are waiting for their response.
- Raghu.
- Yes?
Your meeting with the secretary.
How did it go?
All set for next week.
Good.
We've reached 70% of our agenda.
In every public school of Delhi,
on every floor, a fire extinguisher.
In every school...
Every single floor
will have an extinguisher.
Congratulations.
- Shekhar didn't come today?
- He's working.
Hey, there you are.
You brought the file this time?
Haven't forgotten anything, right?
How are you doing? Nice to see you again.
Welcome. Hi.
It's good to see you again.
Same here.
- Thank you.
- How's everything?
All good.
He learned that from me.
Sir.
In the matter of Association of Victims
of the Uphaar Tragedy
versus Gopal and Sushil Ansal.
Is she here?
Mrs. Krishnamoorthy?
I'm here, Your Honor.
What are you doing back there?
Please, come closer.
- Objection, Your Honor.
- Overruled.
Saw you on TV the other night,
Mrs. Krishnamoorthy.
School safety issues, right?
Yes, Your Honor.
A fire extinguisher on every single floor.
Good.
Let's start then.
The documents related to tampering
of evidence submitted by the prosecution,
these documents have never been presented
in the previous trials, is that correct?
Correct, Your Honor.
We believe the tampered
evidence invalidates
the Ansals' claim that they had
relinquished operational oversight
of Uphaar Cinema prior to the fire.
And they intentionally misled the court.
Let's begin then.
Thank you, Your Honor.
I'd like to bring your attention back to
the day most of us would like to forget.
The fateful day of June 13, 1997.
When 900 people
walked into that cinema hall,
unsuspecting,
unassuming,
unaware,
of what would come.
