500 grand. You get 500 grand for armpit burns.
Only if Mr Banaspati wins the case.
But for that, we're going to need your help, sir.
Uncle, all you have to do is say in court
that I bought all my Fire Clone Dios from you.
Wrong.
You never bought those deodorants from him. You just took them.
Therefore, you are not a consumer.
And therefore, you have no case to take to the consumer court.
That kind of thing may work abroad,
but I was raised differently. Why would I pay my own uncle?
Give me that, you fool.
He's been saying the same thing and freeloading off me for years.
Madam, he can't even afford face cream
but insists on using moisturiser.
Uncle, I only do it because you are family.
Now, what good is a family if there's no give and take between us?
-Hey. -Toxic.
Thank you.
-But not illegal. -Mmm.
The Consumer Court will completely understand this arrangement, sir.
And Mr Banaspati has promised to settle all his old dues
with the money he receives as compensation.
All he'll do is clear your past dues with 500 grand.
If you testify on my client's behalf,
I'll make you a distributor for Firestore.
-No, I'm not interested. -Ask for whatever you want.
One second.
Sir, ask me for whatever you want.
Except financial or personal favours of any kind.
They are sending my son to jail.
Please save him, madam.
Otherwise, Kumar and Sons will be reduced to just Kumar.
They're not sending him to jail. He's already in jail.
Make up your mind for God's sake.
Yes. He is in jail, juvenile jail.
He still has six months to serve.
They are saying he'll go to an adult jail.
Now, whoever manages to save my son,
I'll testify on her behalf.
Sir, a juvenile is being tried as an adult.
Sorry. What has he done that…
Ani, you will figure it out. You are from Harvard.
-Come on, come on. Let's go. -Thank you, sir.
-A crow. -Where?
-Where is it? -There.
Where?
What the hell, Banaspati?
Where you off to, you idiot?
I'm a judge, I can't be expected to do nonsense like this.
Mr Tyagi,
when I asked you to let me know if there was anything I could help you with,
-this is certainly not what I meant. -Huh?
What is this? This is ridiculous.
You want me to judge short films?
Mr Kela, this is Mr Dua…
…the Patparganj Legal Services Secretary.
-Namaste. -Namaste.
The one in charge of organising the short film competition is him.
I see.
I've been very keen to meet you.
You're doing a very noble thing, sir.
-For the High Court, sir. -I see.
What they feel is that only through the medium of film
can legal awareness be created.
So, Mr. Kela, you will judge, right?
Please, Your Honour.
It's not good to delay when it comes to matters of the High Court.
Of course.
Uh… But, uh… Since we're talking about society's progress,
shouldn't there be more than one judge?
So join us, Mr Tyagi?
We can't do this without the PDJ, right?
Of course.
But I'm sure you know that
as admin, I have so many responsibilities.
Look at the pile of files here and the ones Topo's carrying.
I have to sign them all.
Otherwise, I would have watched the films.
Your Honour.
Yeah, tell me.
You had said there is no way that you would do this kind of ridiculous work.
But if you're keen on watching the films, then…
-go ahead. -No, no, no. Uh, Topo…
I was just joking. You know how I'm always cracking jokes.
Oh, that was a joke.
I get it, Your Honour.
-What? -I get it.
I'll go make preparations for the screening. We'll watch films today.
Listen! You…
You mean you'll watch the films with us?
Yes, of course he will.
-Yes. Why not? -Won't he?
Sir, if you don't mind, which was the last film you watched?
Which one, Tyagi?
The Cutting Edge of Revenge Part 2.
BEENU
Defence.
Defence!
Why isn't he listening?
Mr Lakhmir Singh Balli!
Yes!
What I meant, Your Honour, is objection.
Your opening statement is what I need.
What is this?
Your eyes were glued to your phone the whole time. I made a mistake.
I should have gone to Miss Sujata first.
And you, don't you dare try calling me again, sir.
-Sir! Sorry. -Sorry, it won't happen again, sir!
Sorry, sir. Sorry.
Now what do you think?
Was the fake idea a childish idea?
This is fun, Law.
Beenu Bindra isn't going to allow Mintu to work.
Wanna see some magic?
-BEENU, I MISS YOU. -MISS YOU TOO, DARLING.
Pawan…
Listen to me.
There are serious charges against you.
They're saying you tried to grievously injure a probation officer.
I gave him such a hard shove
that he bounced down the stairs like a football.
I took responsibility for it on social media.
He's shameless.
I can understand, Pawan.
But why shove him like that?
Was he abusive?
Look, there's no scope in a juvenile jail.
About a year ago, I was caught for stealing.
I wasn't very good at it,
but I learnt after I came here.
Pawan, give it to me!
Pa--
But do you know what? I'm done with petty crime.
I want to commit big crimes.
Move.
So you're not being sent to Tihar jail.
You actually want to go there.
-'Cause that's my school. -Ridiculous.
Rinku Moghiya, Lucky Shamshera, Montu Billa…
Montu Billa, yeah.
-That's where all my teachers are… -Really?
…where my dreams will come true.
What's wrong with you, Pawan?
In the land of Mahatma Gandhi,
how can you idolise gangsters?
Crime never pays.
What was Gandhi's net worth?
Mahatma Gandhi's net worth.
Escobar
was the seventh richest man in the world.
Look, Pawan, you are just 16.
You can still change your mind.
You should make something of yourself.
Contribute to society.
You're still a child, you know.
Hey!
Don't ever abuse me like that again.
I'm a man, okay?
And I don't want a lawyer. Get out!
-Listen-- -Out!
One minute.
I had a brat of a nephew just like him.
Sorted him out.
Ladies, wait outside.
So, bro,
what's your problem?
What the hell, man? What kind of behaviour is this?
Get lost, you wimp.
Do I look like a wimp to you?
Vishwas, that's politically incorrect.
Will you stop lecturing for once, Ani?
Thank you.
If Pawan keeps behaving like this,
then no judge is going to treat him like a minor.
And I will not get my testimony.
We're talking about a child's future here, guys.
His entire life could be ruined.
And my entire day.
Unless…
Oh, yes, sir. The film just started.
And guess what? The PDJ himself is sitting and judging it.
Thanks. Okay, I'll talk to you later.
I am getting a bit nervous.
Topo, I am done with these.
-Topo. -Hmm?
The first lot is done, Your Honour.
Not bad, Ravi! You're not just a thief, but a script writer too.
How can you say that, sir?
The judge's pen is so powerful that whenever he uses it, he rewrites destiny.
Listen, this film should definitely be disqualified.
This judge's pen is exhausted.
It's run out of ink signing all day and now this?
Now take a look at the power of my pen.
It's deciding the best fresh face…
…handling 100 cases a day,
issuing 50 orders,
then translating old judgment from English to Hindi.
There's so much stress
that I have to attend a mandatory stress relief workshop that too on a Sunday.
Do you know what kind of decisions I am making?
Huh?
Which gate at Patparganj will require 32 mm lock on it,
and which gate will require 60 mm lock on it?
That's what I'm deciding here. Huh?
I heard that after becoming a judge, that's when you get a real kick.
What?
That it's a real kick when you're a judge.
I don't know when that kick will come to me.
Oh, sorry.
One,
zero.
You mean pen fight? Huh?
Pen fight?
And then they should…
Division bench decided.
SUJATA NEGI
Ew.
Look, he's showing you his nose hair.
He's such a despo. He'll definitely agree.
Look, I agree that Mintu is still very single,
but not enough to blow all his money on an unknown girl.
It's my mom's birthday.
A toaster's 850.
What a cheapskate you are.
-Hey. Client. -He looks loaded.
Listen. We are in this for the long run, so don't act cheap now.
-Okay. -Hello, sir.
-Your chamber? -Uh, yes, sir.
It is very busy here. Let's have coffee outside, sir.
Let's go.
BEENU: LISTEN. I NEED 850 RUPEES
CAN YOU SEND ME THE MONEY?
Law, my boy.
Yes, sir?
There is this client of mine.
Who?
Nintu.
-Nintu. -The thing is
he's been getting very friendly with some girl online.
Mmm.
But now the problem is she's asking for money.
And as much as 850 rupees. You think she could be a fake or a scamster?
850?
Yeah.
If she was fake, she would have asked for thousands.
But what if she's genuine? Hmm?
What a huge loss it would be for Nintu.
Just think.
And maybe she needs it very badly.
A birthday gift for her mom.
I'm sure you know how expensive toasters are these days.
You're so right, Law.
One shouldn't take a risk.
What I'll do is I'll send her another 200…
Meaning he'll send.
The match has reached a critical stage.
Mr Tyagi's pen is at the edge of the table.
And at the other end, Topo's ready to play.
Oh shit, man. Just missed it.
-Just missed it. -Damn.
Topo, you're pushing too far with the arse-licking.
Guys, in the pen fight, there are no judges, stenos or readers.
We are all equal. Okay?
No way that's possible. You are Your Honour.
Yeah, that's okay.
Your Honour is issuing an order that we are all equal here.
We are players, okay? Let's play now.
-Okay, Tyagi. Let's play. -Hmm?
-What? -What?
Mr Tyagi, you just said that we are equal players here.
But I have one condition.
The team that loses treats everyone to Jaggi's famous lentil curry.
With some crispy flatbread.
Okay, now…
What?
Let's just play, man.
Amazing.
Looks like they found a winning film.
Sir, you are the probation officer.
It's your testimony that holds the most weight.
Why are you pushing for Pawan to go to jail?
What do you think? Hmm? You think I enjoy sitting with a crooked neck?
This neck brace is some kind of fashion statement?
Sir, please excuse her. She's dumb.
In certain special cases, the law makes an exception
where they treat a 16-year-old as an adult.
Listen, listen. The ways of the law are beyond my understanding.
A 16-year-old kid is allowed to work
but cannot commit a crime till he's 18.
An 18-year-old can vote and form a government,
but he can't pour himself a drink till he's 25.
-Now you tell me. Please. -Sure. Me?
Does drinking require more intelligence than voting?
-Yes, sir. -Huh?
Because when you drink, the slightest change in proportion changes everything.
But you can vote for anyone you want. It changes nothing.
-It's a fact. -Look, madam.
Those who don't understand the consequences of their actions
are considered children?
Do you know what Pawan began shouting after he pushed me down the stairs?
"Tihar, here I come!"
Sir,
Pawan wants to go to Tihar jail, because gangsters gets more likes on social media.
He doesn't really know what actually happens there.
And do you know what's happening here?
These kids are acting like gangsters.
They go "what a wow wow wow, what a wow wow" like hip-hop stars.
Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing? Put that down!
Get out! Go on! Get lost!
Hey, fatso! Move up.
That's Miss Nishigandha.
She comes everyday to teach.
Earlier the kids enjoyed studying.
But now under Pawan's influence, not a single kid comes to class.
Look, madam,
I agree with you that every child is special,
but not every child is a child.
According to the JJ Act,
a probation officer's job is to mentor and guide young delinquents.
And you're judging them.
Sir, if you don't give Pawan a chance,
then how will he reform?
All right.
Huh?
I'm giving him a chance.
According to you, Pawan is a child.
-Yeah. -Right?
So, what do children say when they make a mistake?
Sorry.
Now call Pawan.
If he says sorry to me,
I'll happily come to court and testify in his favour.
I'll tell the court that he shouldn't be tried as an adult.
But will he say sorry?
Hmm?
How do you get a bully to say he's sorry?
Hey, wimp!
You… I'm going to…
-I swear. -Vishwas…
-Ani, stop me before I-- -Sir, embarrass yourself enough?
Are you going to leave or should I kick you out?
Pawan.
You're just dying to go to Tihar Jail, aren't you?
Let's go.
Come on, idiot.
Yay! Tihar, here I come.
Yay!
BEENU: I THINK YOU'VE EXHAUSTED YOUR COMPLIMENT QUOTA
Law!
I sealed the deal with that client.
-I just billed him 150 grand. -Not bad.
Bless you, Mintu.
But ma'am,
it's Mintu Sir who will be sponsoring our celebration.
Check this out.
You know, uh, I really thought Mintu would turn out to be a creep,
but he's so sentimental.
And all these heart emojis on his messages.
He sent me a poem.
And now he wants to talk about something personal.
Hold on, he's typing.
Here it is.
"I don't want to start off our relationship with a lie."
"I am divorcee."
"If you have a problem with that, let me know."
"But I feel very lonely."
What a sad little loner.
What's so funny?
Why is this client's file lying here on the table?
Go make some copies.
This is the second time this year I'm coming here.
Come on, come on. Yeah, enough.
Well done, Ani.
I'm going to tell his father that coming to Tihar was your idea.
If it works,
which it won't.
What's with her?
It will.
You have only five minutes.
Sir, we will be done in two minutes.
Hey, you Skeletor.
-Watch where you're going. -Sorry, sorry.
-Sorry about that. -Vishwas. Go talk to her.
Yeah, well, listen.
You won't be able to sleep a wink here like you do over there.
Instead of 100, 300 men sleep together stuck to each other.
And bathrooms. Just one.
What will you do in an emergency?
Dude, you'll be shitting your pants.
-Shitting your pants? -Hmm.
Come on.
A king is only as big as the kingdom he rules.
Right.
No, no… Wrong.
Does he think this is some kind of promotion?
You won't meet your parents like you used to in the juvenile home.
At least think about your mother and father.
I did that.
I have watched my mother crying every day.
Watching her made me want to cry too.
Aw…
-It's okay, man. -Now tell me something.
Who will pay ransom to a weeping gangster?
Thank God she can't visit me here.
Confinement area.
-Come. -Oh, my God.
The warden here is very strict.
It's my first time here.
If you break the rules,
they send you straight to solitary confinement.
You're not allowed to have any kind of human contact for 15 days, Pawan.
Really?
-You have to stay alone? -Mmm.
In the dark?
He's shitting.
He's scared. Look, he's shivering.
So, what have you decided, Pawan?
Montu Billa!
Sir, a selfie!
-Please, sir. -Hey! Catch him.
-Hey! -Just one selfie. Please, sir.
-How did he get a phone? -Big fan, sir.
Sir, will you let me join the Billa gang?
I've even thought of some Bollywood actors I can threaten.
-That's my phone! -Montu Billa. Sir!
Let me go.
-Sir! -Come here.
Final point.
Topo versus His Honour Kela Sir.
Easy. Easy.
-Won't happen. -Hmm?
Won't happen.
Point! Point! Point!
-But who kept the phone there? -Hey, what point?
-How could it be? -The pen didn't fall.
-Because the phone stopped it. -So what?
-Exactly. -Referee, ask them whose phone that is.
It's Mr Kela's phone.
-Then Mr Kela is a cheater, Your Honour. -Cheater?
Your Honour, I never cheat when I play. Why are you cheating so much?
Objection.
Mr Referee.
Did you see Mr. Shubhkela put his phone on the table in the middle of the game?
The phone was already here.
If you consider this round as cheating,
you will have to consider every round as cheating
and that includes the particular round
that you yourself just won.
Your Honour, you are arguing like a lawyer now.
That was pure luck. Concede the point.
Mr Referee, we considered this phone as part of the game from the very start,
and you could say that it was always our strategy.
But our opponent claims that it was a
matter of luck,
that is a game of chance.
In other words,
gambling.
Gambling,
that too inside the court.
Oh.
So Mr Topo, what you are trying to say is
that we are gambling inside this court?
No.
So,
it's Mr Shubhkela's turn, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mr Kela.
-Hmm. -Let's play.
Topo.
-Okay? -Yes. Go for it.
Thank you for bringing me here.
Any doubts I had are all clear now.
This is where my future lies.
Tihar.
I told you,
"If it works".
ENTRY IS PROHIBITED WITH RESTRICTED ITEMS
Come on, come on. Break's over. Get back to work.
-Move it. -What nonsense is this?
Mandatory labour.
One has to work here?
Yes. One has to work here.
But not in a juvenile home
because child labour is illegal.
But they make adults work hard.
Washing vessels, sweeping, mopping, cleaning the windows,
clearing all the cobwebs, mowing the lawn.
-Weeding-- -Enough.
Bullshit.
Montu Billa.
Montu Sir is a gangster and he's doing the dishes?
And why is that Skeletor sitting idle?
Why isn't Montu Sir telling him to wash the dishes?
That's his plate being washed by Montu.
Mmm.
-Kiddo, that's Tinu Bansal there. -Tinu Bansal!
No wonder he looks so familiar.
-He's a big shot. -You mean
he's a bigger gangster than Montu Billa?
Yeah, much bigger.
Hey, he's the one who pulled off the 2021 scam.
-Ah… -Yes.
The scam was worth 35 billion.
So far only 6 billion has been recovered. The rest is sitting in a Swiss account.
That's where Montu gets his salary from every month.
Yeah.
He's hired Montu for protection.
What do I have to do to become like him?
A scam.
Nayana, seriously?
And do you know what you have to do to pull off such a huge financial scam?
Study.
Today was fun. I really had a good time.
Oh…
It wasn't the pen fight you enjoyed, Tyagi.
-Hmm. -It was something else.
Really? What?
The arguing.
And we are enjoying the winnings.
That's why I put the phone there on purpose.
Today I realised why your chamber was the most famous in Patparganj court.
It must have been difficult leaving your practice to be a judge.
-Tyagi? -Hmm?
You miss practising law, don't you?
Where does he have the time to think about things like this?
He has so much work.
Uh… Tyagi?
-Try some of that curry. It's really good. -You're so right, Topo.
-Please forgive me, sir. -Hey.
Please. Please forgive me, sir.
I don't want to go there anymore, sir.
Please forgive me, sir. Sir, please.
Okay, I forgive you. Come on, get up.
-I am sorry. -Get up. Get up.
-You promise to be a good boy? -Yes, sir.
You promise to study hard.
Of course, sir. That's the most important thing.
Huh?
Ms Nishigandha! Ms Nishigandha!
Well, sir, young Pawan has apologised.
Are you willing to testify in his favour now? Yeah?
-Good job. -Great. Thank you, sir.
-Good. -Thanks.
You know, I read somewhere once,
"Show me the heroes the youth of your country look up to
and I'll tell you the future of your country."
I hope he finds better heroes.
India has plenty of them.
So Mr, Kumar,
your son's turned over a new leaf.
-Shall I tell you something? -Yeah.
This thing about taking him to an adult jail
was Advocate Ananya Shroff's idea.
So you have to testify in her favour, right?
-Yes, Uncle. -Sir, but I convinced him to study.
Yeah, but that didn't work, right?
Madam, madam.
Both of you have saved Pawan's life together.
That's why I'll testify for both of you.
-What? -Yes.
-He bought the deal. -Thank you, sir.
-And he didn't. -That's useless, sir.
-Correct. -Only one of us can win this.
Her side.
But today I have won, madam.
My son will be back home after six months.
I suggest you both get together
and sort out this Banaspati matter once and for all.
Come on.
-Get together? -Sir…
-How will this work?
Well, it didn't work.
But you were tolerable for the first time.
Mr Banaspati.
And you weren't a total bitch today.
-Mr Banaspati. -Don't think I'll go easy on you,
-Mr Banaspati. -Of course not.
Snakes don't have a heart.
Mr Banaspati.
-Hey! -What are you doing?
Now you can both get together and pounce on me.
-Mr Banaspati… -You both are a match, by the way.
-We both are a match? -Yes, a perfect match.
Because of you, I couldn't…
Hey, don't do that here. The kids will call you a wimp.
It's burning!
Didn't I say you can't meet him? No, the judge is not available.
I just need to see him for a minute, please.
Didn't you hear what I just said?
-Hey, hey. It's okay. Let him in. -Sir.
-Okay, go. -What is it?
-Sir. -Yes?
We haven't had enough food to eat for the last five months.
You helped set up my food cart again.
Food cart?
Your Honour, gate number 7 used to be open.
-Yeah. -So the carts couldn't be set up there.
Oh.
Today you signed an order that a 60-mm lock should be put on the gate.
So, that's why…
Sir, I make very good deep-fried savouries.
So when I started today,
I made the very first batch just for you.
Would you like to try it?
Why not?
Thank you, sir.
-Take care of yourself. -Yes, sir.
-Mr Shubhkela. -Hmm?
You know the line in that film,
"A judge's pen can change destinies."
Hmm, hmm.
-Such a beautiful line. -Excellent.
You must select that one for best film, please.
Okay.
And Topo, all the paperwork that's pending,
bring it to me, I want to sign everything before I leave. Hmm?
Come on, ma'am.
You deleted your account?
Couldn't you have waited till the annual sale? Here.
Law, I was thinking we need to win on our own steam.
I don't want to play cheap tricks to get my name on the board.
Enough now. How many more?
Go get the scooter out.
MINTU: I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU.
