ALERT
SCHOOL AHEAD

Abhishek sir.

The election campaign has just begun.

Let's kick things off with a blast!

I don't think a cleaning drive
is a good start. Right, Prahlad Cha?

Really?

What do you want?
A full orchestra?

Well, I was just saying…

No. This is Pradhan Ji's first public
appearance since the sh**ting incident.

It's best to avoid being too flashy.

Well, you're right.

Heard that?

GOVERNMENT SECONDARY SCHOOL
PHULERA

Master Sahab!

Master Sahab!

Oh, they're here!

They showed up pretty early.

Your dedication to the toilet
is truly something else!

Everything alright, Master Ji?

With God's grace, all is good.

No more smoking, right?

That's old news, Sachiv Ji.

But your eyes still seem red.

He's just kidding.

-Yeah.
-Hey!

Show us the toilet now.
Where is it?

-Come, I'll show you.
-Sure.

So, you're saying Pradhan Ji and his wife
will clean everything themselves?

We'll see how that goes.

I think that's a great thought, Sachiv Ji.

You know, it is the right time
to clean the toilet.

-That's why we are here.
-Right?

-Yes.
-Here you go. It's amazing.

Take a look.

Hey…

-What…
-How do kids use this?

The kids do it before school.

If nature calls, they still hold it back.

And if they can't hold it,
the field behind does the job.

Pradhan Ji may have survived a g*nsh*t,
but I don't think he can survive this.

Sir, let's check out
some other place.

Let's get out of here. So disgusting!

-Let's leave for now.
-Yeah.

Let's go.

I need to get home and shower.

So…

Was it here?

Yes.

This is the intersection.

Don't you think this place is too clean?

Doing a cleanup here will only
make it seem like we're faking it.

Right?

Should we check the water tower?

-Sachiv Ji?
-Let's take a look.

Yeah.

Let's check.

What are they doing?

They are up to something.

Sir!

This bottle seems familiar.

Sachiv Ji.

Come on, man!
Let's just get on with why we're here.

This should work.
Not too clean, not too dirty.

And passersby can
witness the work underway.

What do you think?

This works for tomorrow, right?

Yes, this works.

So is it decided, sir?

This is the location.

Okay.

We need to get something
to clear out the grass.

Why are you gawking at me?
I'm just rehearsing for tomorrow.

Slow down, or your arm
might start hurting.

Let it hurt.

I want everyone to see how hard
I work despite the pain.

You never listen, Pradhan Ji.

Come on, man!
What is wrong with this?

Planning to toss in
a few dramatic grunts while I clean.

Papa, join us.

Get a solo shot of me first.

-Yes, get her solo shot. Stand there.
-Alright.

Where should I stand?

Stand here. Yes.

-Move a bit to the side.
-Here.

Yes, give me that.

-Hold this.
-Rinki.

-Yes?
-Where will you put this?

I have created a fan page for Mom.

This page is titled Manju Devi,
Phulera Chief Candidate.

Hear that? She's caught up
in this instead of hitting the books.

She is doing this for her parents.

Let her do what she wants.

-I can see the buffalo.
-Are you calling me a buffalo?

Not you! I mean,
there's a buffalo in the frame.

-So?
-I think you should stand here instead.

Come here.

It's nice and green here.

Look here.

Right.

-Show me.
-Very good.

Look.

-I also want to see it.
-Looks beautiful, right?

-You're like a professional photographer.
-Show me.

-Take a look.
-Show it.

Take a look.

I'll add a filter to it.
It'll look much better.

-Now stand together.
-Wow, Rinki!

Come on.

-Stand closer.
-I can't stand any closer than this.

-Pradhan Ji.
-Look here, Papa.

-Pradhan Ji.
-What is it?

I think when we go
for the cleanliness drive tomorrow,

we should carry a couple of weapons.

Weapons? Why?

He's right.

The police security was canceled.
We could really use some backup.

How can we live in fear
in our own village?

What will people think?

Don't fight while you're posing!

Look here.

Smile, please.

Tone it down. You were shot.

Yes. Tone down the smile.

GRAM PANCHAYAT PHULERA

How's the land situation?

Sir, the land is four katha in size.

ABHISHEK TRIPATHI

Which one did you finalize?

It's close to where you catch the bus.

Right there, next to the road.

Did you check the papers thoroughly?

Everything has been checked.
Besides, it's a familiar plot.

-Tea.
-Bring this outside.

We'll have it there.

-Yeah?
-Yes.

Right, it's comfortably sunny out there.

-Come, let's go.
-Yes.

Sir, please bring two chairs as well.

Come, sir. Hurry up.

Come. Put those here.

The weather is pleasant.

Very nice.

Not there. That's the entrance.

Over here.

Just sit!

-Why are they clapping?
-Clean it properly.

Excellent!

It's our village.
We have to keep it clean.

You have cleaned so well!

No! Sir, stop! Sir…

What an awful guy!

What do we do about him?

Put it in this, all the trash.

Careful with broken glass.

Let's go and check.

Do tomorrow's work today
And today's work right away

If the moment slips away
How will you get work done, I say?

Clean everything, Madhav!
Don't leave anything behind!

We have to clean
the entire village's trash.

Along with Pradhan and Pradhan-Pati!

What?

What are you looking at?

Help us out.

You won't fall apart
just by picking up some trash.

Unbelievable!

You should be doing this,
but here we are, taking it on.

Is this how Pradhan Ji
is planning to govern?

Just empty words!

Let it be, Bhaiya.

We must work without expecting a reward.

Look at this.

Who broke this bottle here
after having a beer?

The one who drinks beer in the village
also breaks the bottle.

Come.

-Come on.
-Look at them running away!

Come on, focus on work!

I don't care if it takes all day
to clean this.

The turtle beat the hare without a hop

The turtle beat the hare without a hop

The cards I dealt were all a flop

What a mess, all is chaos
Can't think at all

If you slack, mishaps attack!

If you slack, mishaps attack!

It's done, you lose
You have to bear the loss

Brother was too c*ck
And lost a simple toss

A simple toss!

If you slack, mishaps attack!

If you slack, mishaps attack!

How did they know
we were going to clean the water tank?

Hey, I needed to inform
everyone about the time and place.

How else would they know
where to show up?

Rinki!

Pradhan Ji. Let's not wait.
We should start cleaning anywhere we can.

How can we go and clean just anywhere?

There are a lot of dirty places
in the village, Pradhan Ji.

I mean…

Sachiv Ji, how many places did you scout
before the water tank?

A couple of places.

Which one was the dirtiest?

The dirtiest…

Aunty, there is a place.
But it is extremely dirty.

What place is this?

The school's toilet.

Alright.

Will I dress up to clean the toilet?

You don't have to. I will.

Come on.

-Come on. Rinki, get the cleaner.
-This is too much!

Babli.

Bring the goats from the field.

I'm busy with social service.
I'll be late.

Auntie, can I bring some perfume?
I will put some on before going in.

-We should. We'll need it.
-No. We don't have to put on airs.

-But it's extremely dirty for--
-Let's just do our job and…

What is he doing here?

He's clearly spying on us. What else?

Come, let's go back.

-Come on…
-Let's go.

Banrakas is turning everyone
into him. Get in.

Hello, Bhushan Bhai.

They had a bucket and a broom.

Yes.

I think they're planning to clean.

I'm tailing them
like a predator on the prowl.

As soon as I figure out the location,

I will go there and steal the spot.

You don't contest by living in fear.

We're not scared.
We're just throwing him off track.

We'll leave after some time.

Why later? I will go now!

You're right, Pradhan Ji.

If Bhushan steals our idea again,
I'll boot him straight to Fakauli Bazaar!

Calm down, all of you!

Let's go. How will he steal this spot?

I will get the toilet blocked.

Yes, Sachiv Ji? Tell me.

Oh… did I not answer it?

Yes, Sachiv Ji?

Where are you, Master Ji?

I am somewhere.
Tell me, what is it?

Wherever you are, go to the school
and block the toilet.

Don't let anyone in.

I mean no one at all!

Do you want to use it?

Are you high?

We are coming there to clean it.

But I am…

Master Ji, just do as I say.

Or I will tell everyone about
that haunted tree incident.

And this time, the villagers will
haunt you, not the tree! Understood?

Sachiv Ji is hanging on to old things.

Alright.

Prahlad, carry a weapon.

Hey!

Why?

Keep quiet.

Go.

He is still here.

Look.

Look at it.

Hello, Bhushan Bhai. They just left.

Don't even look at him.

Where are you headed, Pradhan Ji?

To clean.

Is there a problem?

Just look at her!
She's making him clean in this condition!

If you're so worried,
why don't you clean it for him?

No problem, let's go.

Yes, we don't mind helping you out.

Yes, let's go. Tell us,
what place should we clean?

-Let's clean. Right?
-Yes.

What is it, Pradhan Ji?

Don't you want us to help?

Unbelievable!

How will Phulera become number one
with this kind of behavior?

He is right.

-Work together.
-Isn't that better?

We are willing to help.

We all want to help.

There are too many people
around. I can't refuse.

Okay.

Come with us.

Where do we have to go?

Start walking first.

-Come on.
-Come.

-Come on.
-Let's go.

-Come.
-Come.

Where are we headed?

-Long way left, Prahlad Ji?
-Oh, man!

What do we do?

What do we do?

Looks like they're tired.
Let's stretch the walk.

-Come on, let's go.
-Let's walk.

Where are they even headed?

They haven't stopped following us.
We've reached the school.

Let's turn left up ahead.

Let's make them wander a bit more.

-Maybe then they'll give up.
-Let's see.

Like this…

-How long do we keep walking?
-Come this way.

This way will lead to the water tank.

Let's take a right.

-Yes, let's walk
-Walk this way.

What kind of game are you playing?

What are they doing?

-Ask them!
-They won't tell us.

Come on, tell us where we're going!

Come along if you feel like it,
or go your own way.

Bhaiya, they're just messing with us.

How about we just
clean the water tank again?

The tank's already been cleaned,
you bonehead!

Want to go there to trim grass?

GOVERNMENT SECONDARY SCHOOL
PHULERA

Listen.

Pintu told me the school toilet
is in a terrible state.

Why don't we just clean that?

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Alright.

Please go wherever you're headed.

You can clean whichever area you want.

We'll take care of the more crucial place.

-Come on, let's go.
-Let's go.

Please carry on.

-Let's go.
-What are you looking at?

-Go on. Go!
-Please go ahead.

Hurry!

Go, hurry!

Go ahead and stake your claim!

-I'm on it, Bhaiya!
-Go!

No strength to bear, no power to show
Neither the flame nor the vessel glows

In democracy's game we all engage
Everyone wants to rule the stage

All moves played, the pull's begun
The tug of w*r's now on the run

The key to peace lost in wordy trade
Hidden deep in the promises made

Some make others taste the dust

Some make others taste the dust…

If you've got a bike,
why are you running?

If you slack, mishaps attack!

If you slack, mishaps attack!

Hey, Prahlad!

-Prahlad Bhai!
-Get lost!

Prahlad Cha, let go!

Prahlad Bhai, let him go!

Prahald, let go!

Let go!

-I took revenge on him!
-Hey, you!

-Let go!
-Hey!

-Master Ji! Block the toilet!
-Block the toilet!

Master Ji, just do it!

Master Ji! Block the toilet!

-Master Ji, do it!
-Block the toilet!

It's done, you lose
You have to bear the loss

Brother was too c*ck
And lost a simple toss

A simple toss!

If you slack, mishaps attack!

If you slack, mishaps attack!

If you slack, mishaps attack!

If you slack, mishaps attack!

Hey!

You carry on with your fight.
I'm going to freshen up.

-What?
-Hey…

-Hey!
-Master Ji, where are you going?

-My slippers gave out!
-Oh, to hell with it!

Please keep quiet!

Just keep quiet!

Why are you all after us?

Will you be at peace
after taking our lives?

Don't forget, you're the ones
who followed us here!

Really?

And who has been spying on us?

If was you guys, right?

Tell us, why were you spying on us?

Are you trying to have
my father shot again?

This is what you did the last time.

You must have seen him walking alone
and tipped off Vidhayak!

Hey, you!

No one tipped anyone off!

The police did a thorough check
of his phone.

They found nothing,
which is why he's not in jail.

If he's not in jail, why not just
get him shot again while you're at it!

Go on, sh**t him
and leave me widowed.

He's right here.

But this time, aim straight for the chest.

This man…

is responsible for
Rinki's father's condition.

Feels like he can't step out
in his own village without security.

You never know who might snitch

or try to take a shot at him!

Who knows?

No, no.

And you…

you strut around like a politician.

If you want the panchayat seat,
earn it yourself!

Don't shamelessly play games
by leaning on Vidhayak's help.

I'm telling you once more,
I didn't have Pradhan Ji shot!

Hey, Bhushan! I'm on the verge
of losing it. Get out of here!

Get going!

Master Ji, come out. We're done.

Anyone who needs to use the toilet
can go now.

If nobody wanted to go,
what were you fighting about?

Vikas…

Come, Master Ji.

-Careful.
-Come on.

All glory to Manju Devi!

All glory to her!

-All glory to Manju Devi!
-All glory to her!

-All glory to Manju Devi!
-All glory to her!

-All glory to Manju Devi!
-All glory to her!

-All glory to Manju Devi!
-All glory to her!

All glory to…

What's wrong, Bhushan Bhai?

I'm about to do something.

-What?
-What?

First, you both give me your word.

No matter what happens,
you won't let anyone know a thing.

You have our word.

Rest assured, Bhaiya.

What are you going to do?

Pradhan is leveraging his injury
to gain more votes.

Alright then.

I'll strike back in the same language.

Amazing!

What's with the sudden cleaning spree?
Is Diwali coming up?

Not Diwali-- Hey, keep quiet!

Amazing!

Amazing!

Look at the color on his head.

Is Holi here already?

Shut up. Take a step back.

Isn't this what you wanted?

There you go!

It's done!

Does this do it for you?

sh*t… how did this happen?

We were on our way home
when someone hurled a stone at him.

Sachiv Ji, why it happened
matters more than how it did.

-Because this Pradhan--
-Lower your voice.

Why should I lower my voice,
Prahlad Ji? He has been wounded!

Pradhan and his people have filled
everyone's heads with poison about us!

What did I do wrong?

Was it a mistake
to run against her in the election?

How are we supposed to know
who threw the stone at him?

You know everything!

Go on, throw all the stones you've got!

Go ahead, stone him to death!
Turn our children into orphans!

But we won't back down…

from the election out of fear.

Every single drop of blood
will be accounted for.

You've also caused a lot of blood
to be spilled.

Says who?

Are you the court,

the law,

or the judge now?

You are the Secretary of Gram Panchayat.
That's it!

Don't forget that!

And if the court finds him guilty,

we will bear whatever punishment
comes our way.

Don't jump to say he fired at Pradhan
without proof!

Manju Devi…

see you on election day.

I'll put everyone to the test.

And by everyone I mean…

everyone!

Let's go.

Come on.

Make way!
