(sentimental music)
(Avinash) After Mom's demise, Father tried hard to get justice for her.
But he lost against the system.
My relationship with my father was like two railway tracks.
Always side by side, but never truly meeting.
Years later, he's donned his black coat again.
Against the same system, for me.
Now, I don't care if I lose everything
because I have won the most important battle of my life.
Mr. Rathi.
Tell me from the beginning what you saw when you got here.
When we got here the other day, it was raining heavily.
Everything looked blurred.
I saw Imran facing Avinash.
Just then, someone fired a bullet from Imran's side.
(gun fires)
It's not possible for Imran to shoot first.
I clearly remember.
When you guys arrived, I turned in your direction.
(gun fires)
And when I turned back, they were standing with their guns lowered
and looked confused.
Avinash, you said yourself that,
when the first shot was fired, you were looking at your team.
- Yes. - Then how can you be so sure?
Father, I've been with the police for so many years
that I know who is capable of firing a gun and who is not.
I had already convinced him to lower his gun.
(intense music)
And yet they shot at you, Avinash.
Maybe they didn't understand the option you gave him.
Always remember one thing, everyone.
This firing occurred in self-defence.
It's not an encounter.
(dramatic music)
(title montage)
Lighting a few candles will achieve nothing.
Who are you expecting justice from?
From the people whose hands are soaked in the blood of these kids.
It's an army of murderers... put together by the Home Minister.
By letting a sinner like Avinash Mishra run the state,
he's only fulfilling his personal goals.
His own!
Imran had the capability of becoming a good leader,
which was ruined by the STF's bullets.
And remember...
the trigger was probably squeezed by Avinash Mishra,
but I assure you that the orders came from above.
The name of my party is Awam-e-Inquilab.
Awam-e-Inquilab!
Now I will show them what a revolution truly means.
So, I want you all to hear this loud and clear.
As of today, my alliance with the Loktantra Vikas Party is over.
(upbeat music)
(news reporter) A big announcement by Mr. Sheikh.
He has withdrawn his support from the Loktantra Vikas Party.
The state is now in a political dilemma.
And Brahmanand Agnihotri's government can topple any second.
Don't mistake CM Brahmanand Agnihotri's silence for his weakness.
Another serious challenge for Home Minister Veer Bhushan.
He managed to save his seat in the scandal,
but how will he save his party?
(intense music)
(Veer) Politics is war.
And I admit that one must keep weapons ready in a war.
And I believe you can be the infallible weapon in my artillery.
I am eager to be a part of your artillery.
What are your intentions?
I know you are an independent leader.
But you have a strong hold over the Yadav clan.
You must play cards.
So, you are the joker that can trump over all aces.
Whether he's part of politics or not.
How many seats can you get us?
(tense music)
(gun fires)
Are you sure?
Yes, sir.
The ballistics report is in front of you.
None of us fired this bullet.
Nor did anyone from Imran's side.
What was the position of the bullet?
It was fired from at least 30 feet away.
This means... 10 feet behind Imran and his friends.
Meaning someone else was there.
COURT OF DISTRICT AND SESSIONS JUDGE, LUCKNOW
It's nice to see you back in this black coat after a decade.
Maybe because it's not just a lawyer but also a father who has worn it.
(sentimental music)
Please begin.
Your Honour, according to the police report,
Imran and his friends opened fire at Avinash and his friends.
And they shot back in self-defence.
Surprisingly, they didn't suffer a scratch.
But three students died.
It's a decade-old lie.
It was a cold-blooded murder, and I will prove it.
I want to call my first witness, Poonam Mishra.
(intense music)
Mrs. Poonam Mishra, how long have you two been married?
Fourteen years.
Fourteen years! With an encounter specialist.
I have a question.
When your husband comes home after killing people in an encounter,
how does it feel?
He doesn't kill them. It's his duty.
And as for the criminals.
They don't show up empty-handed.
(Amrita) Valid point.
I can see you're very proud of your husband.
Tell me... on the night of 11th November,
what happened between your husband and you?
Did you two have an argument?
Yes.
What was so serious about this argument that you had to leave home,
and go stay with your parents?
Speak up. Don't be silent.
You cannot waste the honourable court's time like this.
Yes. I went to a nearby park after the argument for some fresh air.
Imran and his friends were already present there.
They...
Your Honour, on the night of 11th November,
Imran misbehaved with her.
Did you share this with your husband?
Yes. After a long time.
What do you mean by that?
You'd been through such a terrible ordeal,
but you didn't tell your husband.
Isn't this slightly odd?
You didn't tell your husband
because you know his nature very well.
He is a loose cannon.
He can't control his anger.
He has a gun in his hand and is intoxicated on power.
If she had told him, he would have set out to kill Imran.
And, Your Honour, it's what happened that night.
Those boys were brutally slaughtered by Avinash Mishra in an act of revenge.
Permission to speak.
Yes, Mr. Gaya Prasad. Speak.
Your Honour...
Amrita asked all the questions correctly.
Absolutely correct manner.
But she made one small mistake.
Poonam did not tell Avinash what happened in the park that day.
Imran personally called Avinash and told him about the incident.
He wanted Avinash to get angry and come after him.
I object, Your Honour.
I have the call details of that night. One minute.
(judge) Overruled.
Your Honour, Imran had always blamed Avinash
for his older brother Rafiq Gazi's death.
Tell me, Your Honour.
Should we suspect a decorated officer
or the younger brother of a seasoned criminal?
Your Honour, this is utter nonsense.
Rafiq Gazi being a criminal
doesn't make his younger brother a criminal as well.
In fact, Imran Gazi was a brilliant student.
He had a bright future, which these officers ended.
Your Honour, since both perspectives have been presented,
I want to present a third perspective to the court.
Which is that the first bullet was neither fired by Imran and his friends,
nor by Avinash and his team.
There was a third person present who fired that bullet.
(gun fires)
This 9mm bullet does not match the weapon of Imran and his group,
nor that of Avinash and his team.
Your Honour,
Mr. Gaya Prasad is just trying to divert the case in a different direction.
It's a clear case of revenge killing.
Why are we wasting time?
Let me decide that, Ms. Amrita.
(judge) The police must follow this new evidence and find out
who the 9mm bullet belongs to.
Until then, the court is adjourned.
(Mr. Mishra) Thank you, Your Honour.
(Samar Pratap) Your dad was amazing in court.
He turned the entire case around.
It was pointless for him to retire.
Had he still been a lawyer, he would have caught more criminals than you.
Sir, I was going to tell you a name the other day, but I didn't.
Tell me now.
Sheikh sir.
Azimuddin Ghulam Sheikh?
Yes, sir.
We're getting several leads against him.
I am after his ass.
But I thought I should ask you once.
Should you go after him or not?
Yes, sir.
(laughs)
You always do something drastic, and later I save you.
Do I not?
But this time, I am trying to save you, sir.
How?
The government has collapsed. Your position could be at risk.
There's a serious breach, sir.
This could spark a war.
How long do you think I have before I retire?
The children have settled down abroad,
and my wife and I will go back to Uttarakhand.
But at least I won't have any regrets when I'll be resting on my easy chair
that we could have taken him down but didn't.
At least I won't have this regret.
Pick up your bow, Arjun. I will fill the breach.
(gun firing)
(Avinash) As I said, there is never off-duty in police.
"Suspension" is just another word for me.
Only Mahakaal can relieve me of my duty.
(upbeat music)
You turned out to be pretty punctual, Mr. Mishra.
But this time, your stride lacks the fearlessness and attitude
it once had.
Your vision has become blurred, Mr. Sheikh.
You can't recognise my gait or your doom.
I'm Mahakaal.
I am suspended, not retired.
When I return, I'll be the one to bring a criminal like you to justice.
Have you lost your mind?
What do you call someone who murders parents?
(tsks) I still can't comprehend how a kid that young
could do something like that.
Some things are better left unexplained.
It'll shake you to your core.
I've already been shaken, Mr. Sheikh.
Ever since we met, life has been nothing but chaos.
That's why I asked you to come here.
When you've set aside your ego, come forward and show some respect.
I have the power to change your life.
Until then, you will have to suffer like this.
I don't suffer, Mr. Sheikh.
(gun loads)
I make others pay.
That is my reputation.
By the way, do you know how to count?
I stopped counting long ago.
Me too.
Same to same.
So, start counting down.
Just like they do before igniting a rocket.
3, 2, 1.
Your days are numbered.
(dramatic music)
Does she believe it's Shanti's game?
So far she does, sir.
But I can't guarantee.
She is pretty alert.
We don't have much time, sir.
Then get some useful information, buddy.
There's some guy called Mahaveer from Sambhar, Rajasthan.
Devi is planning to abduct him.
MAHAVEER SADAN
(eerie music)
She has a personal grudge against him.
And Sheikh has a connection to him.
That's what I feel.
Sir, the entire Rajasthan is familiar with your power.
This arms business will earn you three times
what you make in a year smuggling hash and cocaine.
It's an amazing business.
Go ahead.
Tell me about a solid dealer.
Don't worry. I know some people.
When do I fix the meeting?
All of us present here
are staunch devotees of the Goddess.
Today, once again, we pledge before the Goddess
to do our duty.
We won't let any obstacle in our path stop us.
We will fulfil our duty.
(knife squishes)
(intense folk music)
Sir, meet Devi.
The biggest name in arms.
And this is Mahaveer Rathore.
The king of Sambhar.
Greetings, sir.
Show me something feisty that will make Mahaveer Rathore happy.
I'll show you something,
after which you will be able to see nothing.
Is it?
(suspenseful music)
This is called a Gatling gun... in English.
It has the capability of firing 500 rounds of bullets under a minute.
It's automatic... meaning it runs by itself.
(Mahaveer laughs)
You've been hiding such a massive item.
Give me a demonstration.
So we can have some fun.
- Demo? - Yes.
- Here? - Don't be scared. Show me.
Fire it up.
(gun firing)
(firing stops)
(Avinash) Why was Mahaveer so important to Devi?
Only Devi could have solved this puzzle.
(Mahaveer screams)
So, we set out to get him.
We did not have the uniform to shield us, nor time.
All we had was our spirit and a mole
who had infiltrated the enemy's stronghold
and was working from within.
- (Mahaveer shouts) - What is going on?
I don't know...
I don't know what suddenly happened.
Let me check.
Check quickly.
(thrilling music)
(Avinash) Barkhat did his job, and Mahadev did His.
A storm broke out in Sambhar, which hindered Devi's divine vision.
- (man) He is running. - Hey!
Catch him!
He is running. Catch him.
Stop.
Don't let him escape.
Mahaveer is bleeding out, sir.
We must take him to a hospital, or he will die.
I want him alive.
Then head to the hospital quickly.
(machine beeping)
RANI LAXMIBAI HOSPITAL SAMBHAR
(mysterious music)
Doctor, how is the patient?
The wound is pretty deep.
The patient will need time for recovery.
In my recommendation, don't travel with him tonight.
(tense music)
We will have to travel, Doctor.
This man is very important to us.
And I am telling you that his condition is not good.
He deserves a day's rest in my opinion.
Just inject him with something so that he can travel in the car.
That's the problem with this country. Everyone is a doctor.
(Avinash) Guruji said my time was bad.
But I didn't expect it to be so bad.
Before I could solve this puzzle about Mahaveer,
Devi took Mahaveer from under our noses.
We went for answers but returned with more questions.
I don't understand...
how is this information getting leaked.
How did Devi find out where Mahaveer is?
Even Ahalawat is not here.
Who is the traitor leaking information?
You were repeatedly checking your watch in the hospital.
- Sir? - Whom were you waiting for?
Devi's.
Sir, are you suspecting me?
Just answer the question.
You want to know the answer?
Suman is getting married.
She belongs to someone else now.
Did you get your... (voice cracks) answer?
I...
♪ With you dwelling in my eyes ♪
♪ Build a new world ♪
♪ In whatever world you are, God ♪
♪ I'd pray to you for you ♪
♪ Make me meet my own creator ♪
♪ You are my love, my love ♪
♪ Make me meet myself ♪
(screams in anguish)
♪ You are everything to me My love ♪
Brother, can I exact revenge on this Mahaveer?
I swear it will be very satisfying for me.
Come on.
Nails.
(screaming)
Teeth.
(screams)
Make him a eunuch, Jabbar.
No, no, no.
(intense music builds)
(screams loudly)
Where is Nandini?
She has gone out on a visit with His Majesty.
Get the car. Get out!
(crowd chanting) As long as the sun and moon shine,
Veer Bhushan's name will remain!
I have always talked about development, about change.
About women empowerment.
And I am starting this campaign from my own house.
In the next elections,
our party in this district will be led by...
Nandini Bhushan Thakur.
Long live Veer Bhushan!
- Long live Veer Bhushan! - Come, Nandini.
Long live Veer Bhushan!
(Nandini) You gave me a really big honour today.
Do I really deserve it?
(romantic music)
(tense music)
(Veer) Greetings, Mr. Yadav.
I hope you received the amount.
Yes.
As per your promise, we want a full majority.
(Avinash) The Home Minister was busy saving his house,
while we had caught the biggest cockroach.
Guddu.
Through him, we found out about Sheikh's hideouts.
And there was a gleam in the Home Minister's eyes.
I'll tell you, sir. I'll tell you everything.
Speak up.
Sheikh has 12 warehouses in this city.
And he never does any of the weapons deals using his name.
(reporter) Home Minister cracks down on the weapons cartel.
Weapons were found in large quantities
from Etah, Barabanki, Allahabad, Aligarh and several other districts.
This is the biggest raid in the history of Uttar Pradesh.
Twenty-five arrests have been made in 48 hours.
This mission by the STF is still underway.
Who is trying to litter the streets of UP with arms and ammunition?
The arrests have been made.
But the mastermind behind this illegal business is still unknown.
Let's wait and watch for how long.
We underestimated our enemy, Azim.
Our men are in his custody now.
I guess it's time to show Devi's true form.
We have our dogs in the system.
We just have to tighten their leash.
Do what you have to.
And I will do what I have to.
(phone buzzes)
Hello.
Hello, sir.
What's the matter? The king is calling at this late hour.
I am not the king, sir. You are.
And before that, it was my father,
who gave his sweat and blood to form this party.
His last wish was to see me on the throne.
His words have been echoing in my ears.
Why don't you say clearly that... you are forming a new party?
No, sir.
I am toppling your government.
They tried. Many, many tried.
To snatch Sheikh's glory from him.
But they forgot.
Azimuddin Ghulam Sheikh didn't get this glory as charity.
(thrilling music)
(gate screeches)
HONOURABLE HOME MINISTER VEER BHUSHAN THAKUR - FARMHOUSE
I won't let what I've achieved slip through my fingers.
I will fight.
Fight... till I achieve victory.
(siren wailing)
(dog barks)
Shashi, what are the police doing here?
I think they are here to arrest you.
What?
As you said, next time play a bigger game.
I did.
(upbeat music)
(phones ringing)
Yes.
Sir, the Home Minister is calling repeatedly.
(news reporter) Breaking news. Hiding in plain sight.
Weapons were recovered from the Home Minister's farmhouse
in large quantities.
This is the same person who sent the STF after the weapons cartel.
Who knew that he would turn out to be the head of this cartel!
It will be interesting to see how the police proceed with this case.
To know more, stay connected with us.
(dramatic music)
