02x03 - Hastakshar

[bunniefuu]

I haven't cheated, sir.

I swear on the page, sir!

Talk about adding insult to injury!

Then swear on the sacred pages
to cover your tracks?

No, sir. Paige is my wife's name.

Go for it!

-No, sir.
-On his chest or his rear end?

On his head!

-No, no, sir. I didn't do anything.
-Hit him.

Sir. Sir. No, sir.

I could only cheat if I wrote the exam!

So, you didn't even sit for the exam?

No, sir.

A stand-in took the exam in my place.

Who?

-Speak!
-Dr. Kamal Kishore.

Dr. Kamal Kishore.

THE SIGNATURE

Looks like a hack job.

You'll be caught.

It's flawless. No one can touch me.

Your own old man caught the flaw.

-What?
-It's not "Wushplata".

It is Pushplata Yadav.

Show me, Papa.

No, my dear. Stay out of--

Oh!

It looks like a damn python ready to bite.

Malti,

your handwriting is good.
Please…

No, I won't do it.

I won't even get you
a tiffin box in prison.

She can get another shot next year.

The CSE exams will still be there.

-SSC!
-SSC!

What?

Papa…

Can't you just work your magic
and get her to put pen to paper?

Hello, Nirmal, how are you?

Who are you?

Sheetal.

I'm fine. How did you get my number?

I'll tell you when we meet.

Nirmal, get the door, please.

I'm in the middle of something, Mom!

Yeah, of course,
I'm the only idle one in the house.

The paper will be leaked tomorrow.

Today is our last shot at this.

I'm doing everything
I can to pull this off.

I'd go as far as to sell
my jeep for you, Roshni,

except it doesn't belong to me.

You do so much for me, Amavas.

I really wish there was something
I could do for you.

Marry me?

I've addressed a formal petition
to get my job back.

Why did you write it in English?

English carries some
weight with these folks.

Please go ahead and sign it.

My signature won't make any difference.

How can you say that, ma'am?

Your name will work like a charm.

Everyone knows you're
the current Head of the village

and the future Head of the district.

Where are you going?

-Classes.
-So early?

I'm taking extra classes today.

Please read this out for me.

She will be late.
It is a very long letter.

Go, go, go.

Read it.

"To DEO, Education Department,
Tundpur, Bihar.

Application for giving my job back.

Respected sir."

You have spelled respected incorrectly.

This is all the English they know.

It won't matter.

"I, Banwari Jha,

temporary Principal
in Dhadakpur Middle School,

-am suspended without any mistake…"
-Without any mistake.

"Students remember me,

-cry, not eat food."
-Cry.

-"Not come to school…"
-Not come to school.

-"Please give the job back."
-Job back.

"Not for me,

-for students."
-For students.

-"Yours obediently."
-Obediently.

Ban--

The students are waiting for you.
You should go.

Go, go, go. You will be late. It's done.

-You read so well.
-I'm going.

-Here?
-Yes.

Right.

And…

Just one more…

One over here.

One more?

Yes. I have to keep a copy for the record.

You've written that one by hand
and this one on the computer.

So much is happening in my life.

I've just not been myself.

-Take care of yourself.
-I sure will.

-Here?
-Yes, there.

Your signature is very nice.

I owe you one.

I will be forever grateful to you.

Obediently yours.

I'm leaving.

I'm totally losing my mind. It's…

I've been telling you for so long.
Do a fire ritual at your home.

I will. Of course, I will.

I'm just trying to get my job back.

I need a signature from a village
big-shot, and you're the top dog.

Since I'm the top dog here,
let me give you a dose of the truth.

Yes.

Without you, the kids
in school are thriving.

Goodbye.

Don't get so stressed out.

I know I am unworthy of you.

Please don't say that, Amavas.

You are a very good lover.

I just don't see you as my husband.

Our dreams are very different.

I know.

You want to go to the city…

I want to stay here.

What will you do when I'm gone?

Any plans?

My sister-in-law has made some plans.

I am thinking of meeting with her.

What do you think?

Her nose is slightly crooked.

Nah. It's just a play of light.

The lips seem a little chunky,
don't you think?

Chunky lips look good.

You think so?

No,

sister-in-law thinks so.

Make sure you look before you leap.

The wrong girl could wreck your life.

Take a long, deep breath.

Once more.

Yes. Very good!

I am in unbearable pain, Papa.

Put your hands down.

He's got a digestive disturbance.
That's all.

It's minor.

Hush. You will be okay, son.

So many medicines
for something so minor, doctor?

There is a shop right across the street.

Buy the medicines from there.

They stock original medicines.

Also, there's a lab right next to them.

Get his blood, urine, and stools tested
there and come back to me.

I'll write the rest
of the prescription then.

Please prescribe a sedative, too, doctor.

Why?

Are you having trouble sleeping?

I am unable to fall asleep.

His exams are going on.

The poor chap is stressed out.

Don't stress.

Everything will be okay.

Study hard.

All the best!

If he could pass with good wishes,
he would have passed long ago.

We were hoping
for another kind of fix. Please.

What kind of fix?

Oh, you know,

just a little under-the-table deal
to smooth things over.

What do you mean by under the table?

-Smooth things how?
-Oh!

Forget about him.
You're the one who's unwell!

Leave. Go on.

Leave.

Please.

I said, leave!

Under the table!

Send the next patient.

You are wasting your time!

A thief stole guavas from Arun's backyard.

Why don't we go dig into that instead?

You are quite a dimwit!

Running your mouth
in front of the wrong people!

The doctor sent this for you.

How about a tip?

"GYAN BUNIYAAD"

I wish I'd met you before.

Excuse me?

I wasted money on bad samosas.

Have some,
or I will finish it all by myself.

Tell me.

Where did you get my number?

I work for a telephone company.

It was a cake walk for me.

Have some.

I bet you've come here before
with your BF.

BF?

Yes.

Boyfriend.

No.

I never had the time for that.

I was busy studying first,
and now I'm busy teaching.

Time just passed by.

Do you have one?

BF?

No.

No. GF.

The thing is Nirmal…

Can I address you as Nirmal?

I'd fall for someone
who is wise and sensible.

And that quality is rare in today's times.

So, there's a vacancy in
my life just like you have in yours.

Is your tie always off-center?

Is it off-center?

Oh, I didn't realize it.

May I do it?

Sure.

Pack a plate of samosas for me.

Be generous with the chutney.

Take that, boy.

Your samosas.

I've lost my appetite.

And that's 22.

Yes.

Hold on.

Mr. Ghuttan, you are very stubborn.

Even when you're up against a wall,

you manage to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

Respect.

Lay off the sweet talk.

Just tell me what you want.

This is my written application for the
re-establishment of my employment.

Please sign it.

No chance! And anyway,
I only give a thumb impression.

That will do.

I'm still recovering from the way
you cheated us in the meeting yesterday.

I'll clear all my debt
the moment that first paycheck hits.

Don't bother. Keep it.

Hey! Move it!

-I'll dock your pay. I'm warning you.
-We're on it, sir!

Put that up.

Hurry up!

Yes.

Because you exist, we exist.

If we exist, then the children exist.

And children are the backbone
of our future.

You've got the steering wheel
of the nation in your hands.

Don't let us down.
Manage the situation just like before.

My stomach is doing flip-flops.

It's like those old-school
exam jitters.

You're a cop, and you're
getting the jitters?

Take a deep breath.
It's all going to work out.

I'm here to register him.

He is a student?!

No.

Forget the moustache!

He used a razor as a kid.

Just look at his height.

-He hasn't even blossomed yet.
-Papa.

-Silence.
-Okay, It's alright. No issues.

Give me your Aadhaar card.

Aadhaar…

Show it to him.

I?

It's your card, son.
You have to show it to him.

I forgot to bring it.

-You forgot?
-Papa.

Bloody dimwit!
You forget everything.

You don't forget to eat. You don't forget
to sleep. You don't forget the butter.

That's why you don't pass.
You forget everything.

-Stop. Stop.
-This is the reason he doesn't pass.

-Dimwit!
-Oh, this is a temple of education.

No violence, please.

Which exam do you wish to sit for?

Any exam.

Just as long as he
can get a government job.

-I see.
-Yes.

The entrance exam
for the constable test is coming up.

You could sit for that.

I don't want to do that.

Why not?

That's right. It is a respectable job.

A friend of mine is
a constable under an ASI.

He really puts him through
a lot of trouble.

-I don't want to do it.
-You have to!

-You have got to do it!
-I won't do it.

He will do it.
He will do it.

You should do it. The course has begun.

Take admission.

No. no.

He won't be able to study. He's a dimwit.

His memory is short.

Tell me if you know
of another means. Please.

What other means?

I see. I see.

This means. Right.

Look, we have two packages available.

In the first package…

Is 7856 the number of your bike?

5678.

Yes, the one that
has Police written on it.

Move it from there.
That parking spot is for our tempo.

Who wrote "Police" on it?

-Some kids must have written it.
-Kids… Hey!

Let's go quickly.

He's getting aw--

-You go that way.
-Run!

Get out of my way!

-Dropped everything.
-Does this staircase belong to you?

He's not here either.
I'll have to do the Tom Cruise act.

Move it, Deendayal.

Damn you, Pratham Kumar!
I didn't find him there, sir.

Answer the damn phone.

I'm gonna "pick" you
before I pick any calls, boy.

It is from the DSP.

Jai Hind, sir!

I am on duty.

Gyan Buniyaad.

No. But, sir…

But, sir…

Okay, sir.

I'm coming.

What a world we live in.

Just imagine…

I taught their children
and molded them into shape.

And what do they do? They open fire at me.

I feel like grabbing Ghuttan

and forcing him to put
his thumb on the document.

I can get the job done.

Please spare me.
Have mercy on me.

I am not trying to help you.

I am helping my sister.

Oh, really? Drop the act, mate.

Come to think of it…

I'd like to see you get it done. Here.

He's such a clown.
New glasses every other day.

All of you have turned into criminals.

Teepu!

Hey, Teepu!

Teepu.

Are you taking a dump, Teepu?

Teepu.

Teepu.

Teepu,

sharing samosas doesn't make
two people a couple.

They were eating out of one plate.

They were this close.

Then this has become
a romantic trifecta, buddy.

Love triangle.

Why don't you take your father
to her house and propose to her?

Father refused.

-Why?
-He said, "She is older than you.

That sort of monkey business
doesn't fly here."

I want to shower under
cold water and die of anemia.

Oh, Teepu.

It's pneumonia.

Exactly.

Listen.

Why don't you approach
her family with the proposal?

Go to her house yourself.

Tell her mummy,

I love your daughter.
I want to marry her without dowry.

I shall die if you don't get us married.

Will she consent?

Why wouldn't she consent, Teepu?

The height, the build, the looks,
and the smarts… Sheetal has it all!

But you, you have love.

You have love.

You are a true lover.

Bhugol.

You know me better than I know myself.

Talk to her on my behalf.

Are you insane?

Okay.

I will.

You mean it?

-Thank you.
-Enough. Enough. Listen.

But first,
you have to do something for me.

DSP sir, Jai Hind.

He is waiting inside.

Oh! Mr. Mithilesh, you're here?

-Jai Hind, sir!
-Jai Hind. Jai Hind.

Did you get here early, or am I late?

Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit.

Look at this globe.

Do you recall, we used to look for various
countries on it when we were kids?

I could find them
with my eyes closed, sir.

-You don't say?
-It's true.

Point to America on this.

Look. America.

Great! You reached America within seconds.

What if you really have to go there?

It's tough, sir.

-Isn't it?
-Yes.

It is very tough.

There are too many obstacles.

It is a problem, sir.

Mr. Mithilesh, all these
big cases are like a trip to America.

Between the red tape and the
death threats, you're playing with fire.

Do yourself a favor, Mr. Mithilesh,

and solve the big cases in your dreams,

not in real life.

I am aware you regard me
as your own son, sir.

Yes.

That is why you are so concerned.

But don't be afraid, sir.

I will only rest when
I've completed this trip.

Jai Hind, sir!

Oh!

That reminds me.
It's my son's birthday tomorrow.

That's nice.

The party is in the evening.

-Right.
-You must come.

I sure will, sir. Thank you.

But be there in the afternoon.

What will I do there
in the afternoon, sir?

To blow up the balloons.

I shall send Deendayal, sir.

Mr. Mithilesh,

you're the one full of hot air.

Get some of it out.

Noon.

Teepu.

Move the blanket.

Move the blanket.

Pull his gloves.

Teepu.

Scissors.

Bhugol?

Teepu?

What are you doing here?

I was kneading dough.

Dough?

Dough.

Are you out of your mind?

Massage. I was giving you a massage.

Massage?

But I was asleep.

You told me to do it
while you were asleep.

I see.

Yes, I'm very tired, son.

Massage…

my feet.

I hope you didn't put
your thumbprint on this.

Can't you tell from the size, Master ji?

Side please.

Samosas were great.

Next time, let's have them with tea.

Okay.

Tomorrow, same time?

Mr. Sheetal.

At an age when most
people are over the hill,

you're as fit as a fiddle.

Congratulations on the tower, Mr. Banwari.

Don't be afraid.

I have you.

Greetings, Aunt.

Aunt?

I have to talk to you.

Is this the time to talk?

The entire village is asleep.

You should go to bed, too.

We have an excellent proposal for Nirmal.

Yeah?

Nirmal is my sister's best friend, Aunt.

-Yes.
-That makes her my sister too.

Yes.

The responsibility of
an unmarried sister is a weight

that naturally rests
heavily on any brother's heart.

Yes.

Never mind the worry.
Tell me about the boy.

He is not a boy…

He is a gem!

What does he do?

He doesn't work, but
his father is very wealthy.

He'll splurge it all.

Wonderful!

What is his educational qualification?

He is uneducated, but he
can read Nirmal like a book.

Wonderful!

What does he look like?

Ordinary looking.

He's just a face in the crowd.

He is very talented.

Talk about getting a bang for your buck.

He can ride the roller coaster
four times on one ticket!

Now that I have turned into
a night owl against my will for this.

Show me a photo of the icon.

Never mind the photo, Aunt.

-Seek her blessings.
-Mummy.

What!?

Are you both hammered?

No, Mummy. I truly love
Nirmal a lot, and she loves me too.

Nirmal!

Hey, Nirmal!

The person you are calling
is busy on another call.

Please wait--

Mummy!

Mummy!

Do chunky lips look better on girls?

Yes. That's exactly
why I liked your mother.

Right?

She is blushing.

Most fathers can give a limb

to make sure their
children get an education.

I've essentially cut my throat
just to give you a fighting chance.

Two lakh rupees.

Take it.

Nothing will come between SSC and you.

Thank you, Papa.

Go!

What on earth are you two talking about?

Nirmal, you told me, "You're a nice guy."

So? You think you can just
barge in and demand a wedding?

I love you.

I don't love you.

Those are not your words, Nirmal.

Sheetal's samosa is doing the talking.

Sheetal's samosa?

Gagru's samosa.

Gagru's samosa or Sheetal's samosa?

Gagru's samosa,
which she ate with Sheetal.

Teepu, I am not at all interested in you.

You used to be my friend,
but that's also over now.

Get out of here without a fuss!

Get out of here.
I am getting really mad!

Out of here!

Anger and love are two sides
of the same coin, aren't they, Nirmal?

-I will show you my love!
-It's okay. No issues.

-No, sorry.
-I will show you my love!

-Hey, Bhugol!
-Love?!

Out of here!

Bhugol…

I bumped into him at the samosa shop,
so we ate a snack.

Don't bump into him again.

Change your path if you see him.

How many times will I change paths?
He will be here daily now.

Why would he come to the village daily?

Work is starting
on the mobile tower tomorrow.

FIVE DAYS TO GO FOR ROSHNI'S EXAM!
