PRIMARY HEALTH CENTER

Sorry, I called you a little early today.

But I wanted to discuss
something important.

As you know, our PHC
is facing a shortage of medicines.

Yes.

But I have a permanent solution for it.

The CMO office gives out
a district-level award.

"Ideal PHC Award."

Ideal PHC?

Phutani ji and I had discussed it.

The PHC that wins this award

gets all the medicines it needs.

-That's exciting, right?
-Yes...

-It is.
-It is very exciting, sir.

Hello.

Ma'am, did you forget the way to your PHC?

No, I called Dr. Gargi.

Actually, Panapur PHC

-won this award four years ago.
-Is that so?

I thought it would be nice if she could
guide and motivate us.

-Shall we begin?
-Yes!

So the first parameter for judging a PHC
for the Ideal PHC Award is cleanliness.

This place needs to be spotless.

-That's your responsibility, Dhelu.
-Yes, sir.

-You have to maintain proper hygiene.
-Yes.

Next, the PHC's control
over contagious diseases.

That's my responsibility.

I'll go around the village,
educating people and raising awareness.

Lastly,

the most important parameter is

patient satisfaction.

We need the fewest complaints
in the complaint box.

This is everyone's responsibility.

-Yes, sir.
-Of course, sir.

If we follow all these points,

-we can win the... Ideal PHC Award too.
-Ideal PHC!

What do you think, Gobind?

Sir, I think you can do anything.

If you wanted to,
you could win "Super Ideal PHC."

Sir is a topper.

-He's a gold medalist from medical school.
-He can cure anyone with a single--

Didn't you?

I like your enthusiasm.

But you all understand how
government processes work.

It's not that we stopped all of this
after winning the award.

But we still couldn't win again.

We don't need to worry
about the competition.

We just have to do our work.

Do as I say.

-Okay, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Done, sir!

-Gobind.
-Yes, sir.

I heard about Babu Saheb's demand.

Don't give him a single rupee.

If you want, get the last MO's sign.
I'll help you.

But don't pay a bribe for a job
you deserve.

-Okay?
-Okay, sir.

Good thing you talked some sense into him.

Otherwise, he would've rushed
to pay the 1.5 lakh. Right?

Guys.

BHATKANDI

DR. CHETAK KUMAR
PHARMACY

PRIMARY HEALTH CENTER

Uncle, here you go.
Drink some water.

-It's warm.
-Thank you.

PRIMARY HEALTH CENTER

Here you go.

Drink some water.

-Want some tea?
-Sure.

Okay. Listen.

Put suggestions in the box,
not complaints.

-Okay?
-Okay.

-I'll get you tea.
-Yes.

Everyone tells you your mother-in-law

will trouble you, and your sister-in-law
will boss you around.

But no one tells you you'll get pregnant
right after the wedding.

You seem way too comfortable.

You are married now.

I am eight months pregnant.

If I still don't seem married,
then when will I?

-So you're eight months along?
-Yes.

-When did you get married?
-Eight months ago.

What was the hurry, Moushami ji?

Why are you asking me?

You should ask him.

Do what you are here for.

Unnecessary conversation.

It's not his fault.

Daak Sahab told me

that I might have thyroid.

So everyone scared me into thinking
getting pregnant would be hard.

So I thought we'd try once.

We did, and it worked.

What are you doing?

It's okay.

As long as you both are happy.

I am very happy.

I've been relaxing
for the last three months.

He's the one suffering.

Right?

Why are you upset?

Who gets shy in front of a doctor?

Who are you shy around?

-Why would I be shy?
-Let it be.

Moushami ji,

when was your last period?

Let's say around eight months ago.

Do you have any pain down there?

Yes.

Be quiet. Let me talk.

Any white discharge--

Excuse me! What are you asking?

-No, Vishwas--
-And you!

Are you having fun talking about all this?

-Please don't think like that--
-We don't want to get treated here.

-Get up!
-Sit!

-Vishwas!
-Yes?

Is this how you speak to a MO?

-No, let it go.
-He is a government official.

So, he should be respectful.

How else does one talk to patients?

Phutani ji, it's okay.

-Vishwas, calm down. It's okay.
-Calm down.

Here's what we'll do, Moushami ji.

Come back in the afternoon.

It will be less crowded.

And no need to trouble Vishwas ji.

-You can come alone.
-Right.

Why will she come alone?

-No, you're getting it wrong.
-How can you ask her to come alone?!

-What do you mean?
-I am a doctor.

If she weren't here,
I'd teach you a lesson.

-Phutani ji, let me handle this.
-You'll teach me a lesson?!

-We don't want to be treated.
-Then don't. Leave.

-We won't! Come on, let's go.
-Alright. Then get out.

-Sorry.
-I'm leaving.

I'll beat you so bad
that you'll be admitted here.

And you think
I'll just sit back and let you?

Don't touch her!

-Do not touch her!
-I'm just helping her.

Why are you holding her hand?

We don't want treatment. And you?
Are you trying to get attention?

-Everyone's watching.
-Why would I?

-Calm down.
-Drive safely, Vishwas.

-Are you seated?
-Yes. Let's go.

What are you doing?

We can't speak to patients like this.

Don't know remember that patient
satisfaction is crucial for the award?

Let them be ideal patients first,
then we can be an Ideal PHC.

Try to understand.
We are like service providers.

They are like our customers.

And the customer is God, right?

Sir, the customer is God,
the doctor is God.

We are fools, right?

Do you want to win Ideal PHC or not?

I do.

Did you call the handyman?
For painting?

Yes, sir. I'll go get him.

You don't do your work
and meddle in mine.

He asked me to do it.
I'll go get him.

-Do your work properly.
-Yes, sir.

Come on.

-Did you get your motorcycle?
-Yes, I did.

MUKESH HARDWARE
LAMLETIYA

-Greetings, Mukesh bhai.
-Hello.

Need to get the PHC painted.
Where is the painter?

He'll be here in ten minutes.
Have a seat.

Get your beard shaved while you wait.
He stepped out to deliver something.

Yes, get your beard shaved.
It is too long.

-Okay.
-Come on.

This song was requested by

Arunab, Vaibhav, and Deepak Mishra
from Ramgarh.

-So let's listen to their request.
-Phutani bhaiya.

Prabhat sir asked me to get
the former MO's signature

and give it to Babu Saheb.

Is the former MO
Babu Saheb's brother-in-law,

that he'll listen to him?

What should I do then?

You're a smart guy.

But since you asked, here's my advice.

Look,

when poor people like us

take on the system,
waving the flag of honesty,

the system shoves that flag
right up our asses and throws us out.

Honesty is for rich people.

It's a luxury only they can afford.

Arrange the 1.5 lakh and save your job.

How will I arrange that much?

What do you mean?
Step outside your house

and ask whoever you can for help.

Oh.

So what about you?

How will you help?

Are you not aware of my situation?

Ever since the MO arrived,
I haven't made a dime.

What are you thinking?

What will a poor man think about?

After all,
honesty is the only option left.

I'll take you to a place.

Where?

The same place where I go for money.

Let's go then.

Wait. Let's go after the massage.

He won't pay you at all.

If you're done with my head,
massage my back as well.

-That's enough.
-Right there.

Come on, Phutani ji.

You're treating my clinic
like it's Bhatkandi Rural Bank.

No, he's in trouble.
That's why I brought him here.

How much trouble are you in?

How much money do you need?

I need 1.5 lakh.

What?



Babu Saheb asked for that much
to make my job permanent.

Is it that expensive now?

Well, Babu Saheb has indeed asked
for a little too much.

Those 15 to 20 extra patients

showing up at your PHC every day

used to be my patients, right?

I'm struggling too.

I can't lend 1,500 rupees.

How can you ask me for 1.5 lakh?

Where will I get it from?

You embarrassed me.

Okay.

What can we do
if you're struggling too?

Okay. Let's go.

You stay here, Phutani ji.

You will not leave here empty-handed.

-Hey, Arvind.
-Yes, Daak Sahab.

Bring me a coin, son.

Sure.

I don't have any coins.
Will this do?

He's not very bright. Bonehead.

-What's wrong?
-Take this, son. Keep it.

Didn't I tell you?

No one leaves here empty-handed.

Take it.

It's a gift, son. Keep it.

Do you want a different one?

So, Phutani ji?

What's going on at your PHC?

There is a government competition
called Ideal PHC.

I know.

That's what we're preparing for.

If we win,

we won't have to worry about medicines.

Wow.

That's good.

-Arvind.
-Yes, Daak Sahab.

Do we have everything the MRs gave us?

The calendar, diary, and pen...
Everything is here.

Bring everything we've gotten
in the last six months.

Distribute it among the villagers.

Let them know who Bhatkandi's
very own doctor is.

Let's begin the competition.

If you want to play, then...

-Hello.
-Hi.

Hi.

Don't you exercise at all?

I do that all day.

I run after patients.

I do yoga sometimes.

Really?

When was the last time?

About six months ago.

Prabhat.

Someone told me today

that there have been a few changes

to the Ideal PHC criteria
over the last couple of years.

To qualify, your PHC also has
to be a delivery center.

Bhatkandi PHC is a delivery center.

When was the last delivery?

Maybe around the last time I did yoga?

If there hasn't been a delivery
in the last three months,

or if nobody is registered for one,

you won't even qualify.

Good night.

Thank you.

Hello.

Come on, I'll drop you off.

We're both traveling alone,
so let's go together.

You know my name.
We are friends now.

Come on.

I won't give you an injection.

Are you seated?

Every day I see
the other kids walking together,

but you're always by yourself.

You haven't made
any friends at school yet?

If you need anything, just let me know.

No, no.

You shouldn't drink tea
first thing in the morning.

Tell your mom

to soak chickpeas overnight.

Eat those first thing in the morning.

Okay?

I'll see you tomorrow.

Hello, sir.

Hello, Chanesar ji.

Who are you traveling with?

Do you know him?

Who?

His mother is a witch.

I guess you don't know much about witches.

Delhi has had its fair share
of witches, too.

It's risky getting mixed up with them.

If she gets upset over something,

she'll curse you.

If she spits after cursing you,

you're done for.

Don't take it as a joke.

She cursed her husband to death.

He was a strong, healthy man.

Okay. I'll get going.

Don't drink tea first thing
in the morning.

Okay, Prabhat sir.

Dr. Gargi told me that it is important
to have a pregnant patient on our record.

We had one pregnant patient.

You scared her away.

Please apologize to Vishwas
and bring them back.

Do I have to apologize
to Vishwas now, sir?

Did I become a government employee
for this day, sir?

We can't work with our egos.

You want a pregnant patient.
I'll get you one.

Gobind, come with me.

What do I have to do?

I'll tell you. Come.

-This?
-This is coffee, sir.

Thank you.

Could you get your wife pregnant?

Yes, but she went to her parents' house.

Why did she go there?

The baby will be delivered there.

It won't happen here.

Yes, they only get pregnant here.

Have you given up?
Are you not trying at all?

No, I haven't stopped trying.

But it's not working.

I am tired.

Sister,

is your husband home?

He went to the market.

-Did you need something?
-No...

No, we just wanted to know how he's doing.

Are you doing okay? I mean...

do you have morning sickness?

Sickness...?

No.

Imli!

Do you want something sour?

No.

My sister is here. Her name is Imli.

Is Imli married?

Why are you asking?

-Get out of here.
-Just asking.

-Nothing else.
-Who are you to ask that?

You're standing here
with your hands folded.

The other day,
you were singing a different tune.

I watched a movie that day.

The Fire of Revenge.

Why watch action movies?

I am only watching comedies from now on.

Look, I didn't want to come
to the doctor.

She forced me to go.

This isn't a disease that needs treatment.

Everyone around here has kids.

We'll have a home birth too.

All she has to do is give birth,

and you'll get 6,000 rupees.

What?

Who's going to pay me? You?

Sir, the questions you asked me last time,

I wrote the answers to them in this chit.
Take a lo--

MO sir.

Phutani bhaiya was telling me

that we'll get 6,000
for delivering a baby in the PHC.

Well, I don't trust him at all.

If you could confirm what he said.

Yes, you get it from the government.

Really? Give me that.

Didn't we say you'd get it
from the government?

-Well...
-You don't trust me?! I'll see you later.

Sir, 14th February was the last date
of her period.

Let's do a physical examination.
A routine checkup.

Indu ji, check the baby's position once.

Careful.

-Are you eating well?
-Yes.

Good job, Phutani ji.

PREGNANT WOMEN REGISTRATION - 2025

WOMAN'S FULL NAME

What is it? Is the fault due to rains?

-I'll check and let you know.
-Okay.

You used to do this on your own.

Yes, but I saw him here today,
so I asked him to do it.

By the way, we have a delivery patient,

so now we are eligible for Ideal PHC.

Thank you.

Good. Good.

Your energy is great, Prabhat.

But can you visit

Suggupur PHC once?

Winner of the last two years?

Why do we need them?
You are with us.

Yes, but I know an ASHA worker

who went there, and she said...

I think you should go there yourself.

Is it that good?

Okay, I'll go.

But I have a theory.

Seeing a topper prepare
can make you nervous.

Or it can nudge your prep
in the right direction.

The light has been fixed.

Let me know
if there are any issues later.

Yes, sure.

Thank you.

-Do you know why you ran into him?
-Why?

Because I complained to the CMO's office
that he doesn't come to work.

That's how it is, Gargi ji.

We can do things ourselves
and get them done.

But if the one meant to do it does it,

it helps everyone.

Back when your dad was around,
this place was really something.

They're here. Handle it.

What happened to Mom?

Hello.

What happened to Mom?

What will happen to her?

Why is Daak Sahab here then?

Am I just a doctor?

-I am also a fellow villager. Sit down.
-Yes.

-True.
-That's right.

You must be aware
of Gobind's job situation.

Why would we know?

What happened to his job?

He is a contract worker.

He told me that he is a ward boy.

-Yes...
-Of course, he is a ward boy.

He is one.

But the appointment was contractual,
for 11 months.

That contract has ended.

Then what is the problem, Phutani bhai?

The problem is that his contract needs
to become permanent.

Babu Saheb is the one who decides that.

And he is asking for 1.5 lakh.

Don't you have 1.5 lakh?

How am I supposed to save 1.5 lakh
in 11 months with a salary of 13,000?

Then how much?

-For two months, 26,000--
-It's 143,000.

I told you, I took math in 11th grade,
not commerce.

So, take 6,000 from Daak Sahab.

If you subtract 1.43 lakh from 1.5 lakh,
you'll have 7,000 left.

So take 7,000 from Daak Sahab.

That won't help at all.

I need the full 1.5 lakh.

-Did you spend all your money?
-I have saved...

-I have 1,200 saved.
-What?!

You...

You only saved 1,200
after working for almost a year?!

What do you want from us,
Daak Sahab?

What would I want?

He is your family.

Help him out.

-It's about his government job, right?
-Yes.

I don't have 1.5 lakh.

Nandu?

I don't have it either.

Listen. This is why I am here.

I am thinking of opening a clinic.

And you have some land near the market

where all the village boys play cricket.

Give me that land,

and take 1.5 lakh from me.

-Am I right?
-Yes. Of course.

That must have been your suggestion.

Of course. We don't have
any other snake in this house.

Only you would suggest

selling ancestral property
instead of adding to it.

Daak Sahab.

First, that land is worth six lakh.

Second, we are merely caretakers
of that ancestral land.

We'll starve, but we won't sell it.

If you'd told me a year and a half ago,

I'd have given you 1.5 lakh easily.

-Good morning.
-Hello, sir.

Good morning, sir.

What's up?

-Everyone is being punctual.
-Sir...

Good, Phutani ji.

-Gobind.
-Yes, sir.

I have a surprise for you.

Didn't I promise I'd get you
the former MO's signature?

Here.

Give this to Babu Saheb.

If he still doesn't agree,
tell him I'll come myself,

and he'd better be ready with answers.

Go.

Okay.

The tank isn't empty, right?

-I'll get it filled on the way.
-Do you have money on you?

I have 1,200 saved up.

-Phutani ji.
-Yes, sir.

I have a surprise for you, too.

Come, I'll show you something inspiring.

-Where, sir?
-Come with me.

What's this?

"Primary Health Center, Suggupur."

I can read that too, Dhelu.
But how is this the ideal PHC?

No, sir.

This can't be ideal for anything.

You wanted to see the competition, sir.

You're at least 100 years ahead of them.

Sir.

This...

Does the MO of this PHC...

-come here?
-Yes.

He comes on the fifth of every month
to collect rent from me.

Sir, we also have some land
outside our PHC.

Should we rent that out?

Do you know this clinic

has been getting awards
as the best clinic?

Everything is his blessing.

Of course, nothing happens
without God's blessing.

-He's the creator.
-I'm not talking about God.

Everything is Babu Saheb's blessing.

Whoever he wants

wins the award.

What kind of system is this?

We have to do something.

OFFICE, CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER
BULSITIYA

Sir, look what I brought.

Signature from your former MO.

He called me.

Phutani, Dr. Chetak,

no one helped you?

Even your brothers
didn't agree to sell the land.

Tell me...

whose idea was it to get
the former MO's signature?

-Prabhat sir.
-I thought so.

Sir said that

if this doesn't work,

-then he'll come himself--
-Himself?

He himself?

I mean,

he'll come here,

meet you, and talk to you personally.

Your MO hasn't wandered around
the district enough, right?

Let it be.

I didn't get paid.

But you need the job.

How will it work?

You've lost the job now.

What will you do now?
Have you thought about it?

And in this day and age...

no one will help you out.

I desperately want this job, sir.

I am begging you, sir.
Get me this job.

-I'll do whatever you tell me.
-Don't do this here.

Stop.

What do we do now?

There's a way.

You're from my community.

Why don't you marry my sister-in-law?

I'll make sure your job is permanent.

Go.

This is of no use.

Think about the proposal
and take it ahead.

Go on.
