Mark my words.
If this man can betray his friend,
he can betray anyone.
- Please don't trust him. - He's right.
He's Baankey's childhood friend.
We mean nothing to him.
He must have told Shukla everything about us!
Hear me out. Let's go to the CM and tell him everything.
Why, Pandit, didn't you see this coming?
Oh, right! Shukla maimed your left eye--
- Keep quiet, JP! - No!
If his left eye was intact, at least it'd be twitching right now!
Hey! You can't talk! So, just shut up!
And you only talk nonsense. Why are you so furious, JP?
Because I'll have to start drinking again!
Had Ansari ratted us out, Shukla wouldn't have joined hands with him!
He would've killed and buried him!
Have courage!
Let's go ahead with the plan.
- We don't have a choice. - We do.
- Let's just go home. - And sit there and cower again?
Then why did we even start all this?
We… have to do this.
How long…
How long will we remain afraid?
Remain underfoot?
Wait a minute.
Triloki remembered his college days.
It is not our habit to be locked in a conflict.
But in every era, it is the youth that have brought about a revolution.
The common man…
will win someday.
Mr. Subhas Chandra Bose said,
"Give me blood, and I shall give you freedom."
Get out of here!
We want your support, not your applause.
- Give us your support, and we-- - Enough! Stop this!
Change the system…
- Enough with the revolution! - What are you looking at?
Mr. Bose's quote doesn't apply here.
In college, the leader gives his blood as well as his freedom.
Come on. You'll get freedom in jail.
Our society is dead!
Our system is rotting! We're stuck in a bog!
We want a classless, stateless society,
where wealth is equally distributed publicly,
and education is free for all.
- Got it? - Yes, brother.
We must resort to anarchy to fight corruption.
- Did you find a lawyer? - No, brother. We're collecting money.
- Let's draw up the documents. - What?
We'll have to use the system to break the system.
Shukla neither slapped me nor killed my uncle.
He neither shot me nor closed down my business.
But he is as much my enemy as he is yours
because we are all one.
I'm starting to understand…
what you're trying to say, Triloki.
- We'll stay on track. - Fear won't hold us back.
We'll stay on track. Fear won't hold us back!
- We'll stay on track… - Fear won't hold us back!
I had written something.
For the sake of the robbery, Triloki remembered his old ideals.
"Destinations entwine in the lines on our palms…"
"Destinations entwine in the lines on our palms,
paths ablaze are extinguished with each step that embalms."
How do you know all this?
I did my Masters in Sociology.
So, you're not a thief?
I am a thief…
and you know why.
Now, JP will carry out all of Ansari's tasks.
Jhumpa and Bishnu will get all the party office guards
to watch the 80-minute-long VR film.
I will keep Shukla, Asthana and Rastogi busy with the ritual.
JP will enter Mr. Shukla's office with Bishnu's help.
The CCTV cameras will be on a loop.
While working in Shukla's office,
JP will weld a rod to the window in the workers' toilet
for the zip line.
We'll send all the bags of money out the toilet window via zip line.
Jhumpa and Bishnu will keep them in the van.
Then, JP himself will escape via the zip line.
Hey, I'm not Tom Cruise.
Pulling a Mission Impossible stunt only sounds easy!
A drink will help you get the guts up.
The office is on the first floor.
I will send the money bags down,
but I can't come down from the window myself.
But weren't you training Ansari for this very thing?
Let's do this.
We'll escape from the party office the same way as we enter.
That'd be better.
Would you repeat that?
The price is 10,000, 65,000, and 120,000 rupees.
- Is it real gold? - It's 24-karat, sir.
Leave all of them here. I'll pick one as per my budget.
Okay, sir.
Triloki was planning to propose to Jhumpa on the day of their anniversary.
He realized that Jhumpa's admiration for him wouldn't last long.
He knew he had to strike while the iron is hot.
Get him. Call the police.
- Why? - There's been a robbery.
- Where? - It has already happened thrice.
- But… I didn't do anything-- - Hello, police station?
Hey, I was counting my money.
You fucking moron!
You got arrested three days before the robbery.
How do I get you out now?
I could get the bail papers made in a snap.
"I could get the bail papers made in a snap!"
The case gets registered at a particular police station.
You can only make bail after the bail papers have been verified.
The police station gets a direct order from the court.
You risked losing 800 crore rupees for only 10,000 rupees!
I was going to buy it, Officer. It was for our anniversary.
I wouldn't gift Jhumpa stolen jewelry.
Save that story for someone else, fucking thief!
And why do want me out of prison?
For a bigger robbery!
Aren't you all thieves as well?
"We'll stay on track. No fear will hold us back!"
What will you do?
When your friends create problems…
Mr. Dubey.
- …you're compelled to befriend others. - I've got something for you.
May I come in?
When someone addresses you with sheer respect…
"Mr. Dubey"?
…you can tell that they need your help.
So it's not, "Dubey, you fucker," anymore?
No?
- Come on! - Baankey started buttering him up.
Forget all that. I was furious. He was hitting on my sister.
- I see. - Yes.
I got this for you because you helped me.
- Then he gave him the sweets. - I don't remember helping you.
Have a laddoo first. The job is very easy for someone of your caliber.
Stuffed eggplant and laddoos were Mr. Dubey's weaknesses.
Do you want me to say something?
No problem, I'll say it.
Is it an announcement?
Do I have to record it?
Oh, it's for the day of the solar eclipse!
I fast on that day, so I won't be coming to work.
But I think the office will be open.
We never get holidays here, as you know.
Okay, I'll get your work done.
They're not fake.
They're real bail papers.
Along with the case number.
If you get caught, you'll go to jail.
No one will get caught.
Government vs. Prakash Awasthi.
He has multiple IDs.
There are no records of that man.
For the first time ever, he was buying something, and he got arrested.
I've done my part.
You'll need the judge's signature now.
I'll manage it.
"It's the day of the solar eclipse. Kindly avoid stepping out."
"Don't look directly at the sun, or your vision may be affected."
"It could also spell trouble for you and your family."
- Good morning, ma'am. - Good morning.
You got here before time?
Well, my personal problems have been solved, so I'm free now.
Did your sister get married already?
No, the guy was the problem, not my sister.
I managed to get rid of him. That's it.
Madam, I need your signature here.
"So, stay indoors and protect your eyes from the sun's rays. Thank you."
I speak well? Thank you, Bishnu. Please convince my husband of the same.
Tell me something.
- Why's this soil here? - It's a makeup item.
This?
Run a handkerchief through the soil
and cover your face with it.
What kind of makeup is that?
So, you're just going to waltz in? You think Shukla won't recognize you?
Why would he remember me?
You're right. Your face is quite forgettable.
To prepare for his visit to Shukla's office, JP ended up drinking.
You think this is funny, huh?
On a serious note, you're going there as a laborer.
Make sure you don't cough. Laborers are used to the dust.
I know, man! I'm a contractor.
You were. You're not anymore.
When he remembered that, he had to down a few more drinks.
You've made a mess everywhere. When will you be done?
It will take time.
Moving the money to the room upstairs was like a workout
and cardio for Madan Singh.
Sir, it'll be evening by the time we get all the money.
Open the drapes.
And open the remaining bags and place them here just like the others.
Okay.
- What about the bathroom? - A grill has been put up.
Asthana, don't forget to switch on the lasers.
Even Bishnu didn't know about the lasers.
What will we even do with so much money?
JP felt a sense of detachment upon seeing so much money.
Thus, he quit alcohol once again.
I think
money is the root of all evil in society.
If we steal so much money, something bad is sure to happen.
Don't say such depressing things, man.
There's nobody more miserly and greedy than you.
- So what's happened to you now? - Can't a man change for the better?
Of course, you can.
In the beginning, even Angulimala was a robber and a murderer.
He became a monk later.
He used to kill travelers,
sever their fingers, and wear them on a necklace.
He was a highway robber, but he changed.
Why? Because he was destined to change for the better.
But the exact opposite happened in your case, Pandit.
How come? Whose fingers did I sever?
You didn't sever anybody's fingers, but you are helping us with a robbery.
Our plan will only come to fruition if you all do not
- gum up the works. - What does he mean?
"Don't fuck this up."
If you keep talking nonsense, we're bound to fail.
Let's do one last VR tour and revise the entire plan.
It's frightening to even think about what Shukla would do to them
if they get caught.
Get me another drink.
Why is this padded?
He'd put Ansari and Baankey in a maximum-security prison.
So that we can't commit suicide.
What if I bang my head against these bars?
Go ahead. It will electrocute you.
He will turn JP into a drunkard again.
Who turned off the lights?
Get me more liquor!
And he will make Bishnu permanently mute.
He might not recognize Triloki though.
But he will shoot Pandit himself.
- Pandit. - Who is it?
Triloki will end up making a mistake someday.
Go ahead. Finish it.
Hey, get me more liquor!
I'm sure Bela and Jhumpa will be safe because Shukla doesn't know about them.
But Baankey was going to involve Bela in the plan.
If JP doesn't mind, I would like to involve my sister, Bela, in this plan.
Why would I mind?
An entire village is involved in this plan at this point.
Might as well add another person.
Bela, you've been working for so long.
Come on, have some tea.
I drink coffee.
- But I made you some tea. - Get to the point.
Bela…
I'm going to do something very difficult tomorrow.
And I need your help.
I want to bring Shukla, Mintu, Arunoday, Asthana and Rastogi down.
You know the police and the media can't do anything to them.
What we're about to do
will ensure they can neither show their face nor hide it.
Where's Ansari?
I don't know.
He's with Shukla now. I'm sure he's all right.
We have made a new plan without him.
Listen, do you still have your old police uniform?
Yes, I suppose.
And what about the anesthesia, masks, and other gas equipment?
Do you have two of those?
A colossal obstacle stood in the way of them committing the robbery.
- What happened? - The police are here.
Police?
And that obstacle was Madan Singh.
We're here to arrest Madan Singh. He's involved in a murder case.
Where is he?
Upstairs. In the second room.
Wait here. There could be gunfire. Let's go.
Don't enter the wrong room.
Yes, that's the one.
We're here for him. You leave.
He's… He's awake!
Madan Singh,
you're charged with the murder of Pandit Ramacharya Upadhyay.
- So? - We're here to arrest you.
You came to arrest me but with your faces hidden?
We are undercover cops.
We protect people without revealing ourselves.
So you mean the police are terrified.
Why would we be terrified? I have a gun in hand.
It's fake.
Would you like to see a real gun?
- Hey! - Hey!
Hey!
As long as I'm sitting, you still have a chance to run.
Once I stand up,
all the escape routes will be blocked.
- What should we do, Bela? - Go and stand at the door.
- What? - Stand at the door.
- Why can't I ever protect you? - It's all right, brother.
Why are you trying to lift him? You are pregnant!
It's not even been two months.
If the slumbering individual awakens,
he might put everyone to rest for eternity.
Listen, ma'am. He is a criminal.
Don't let anyone go into that room until the police get here.
- We've released anesthetic gas in there. - I need 5,000 rupees.
- What? - That room will be closed.
It's a loss for our business.
Take this.
Don't let him get out!
Send the police quickly!
- Bela, I need to talk to you. - Later.
- What? - Later!
Bela, I thought about the conversation we had the other day.
No matter what you decide, I will support you.
I'm your elder brother, after all.
Nowadays, girls don't need others to protect them.
I know for a fact that you can protect yourself.
But emotional support is also important.
If my department would let me, I'd take down the biggest of criminals.
I know. Just get to the point.
See, now that he's getting into politics…
…he may even become the chief minister.
He's my friend, but I wouldn't want my sister to marry him.
You can marry that toilet mug if you want.
You are my younger sister. I love you.
Look, Bela…
I thought about you and Ansari.
Don't distract me now! We have one more thing to do.
Bela!
When the day you've waited 20 years for finally arrives,
it's hard to believe it.
Sister, I will get my revenge today.
Shukla will suffer the same fate as you.
I won't do this quietly.
I will make sure he finds out it was me.
On the one hand, Bishnu's prayer concluded,
and on the other, Pandit's ritual began.
All of Shukla's bad planets had finally come together.
Oh, Lord! Bring about the end of the sinner.
They had the incantations and they also had the instrument.
A gun? Why do we need a gun, Jhumpa?
If we get caught, we'll be charged under the TADA act!
It's just to scare them. It's not loaded.
We'll still be charged under TADA. Where did you get it?
You can even find God if you look carefully enough.
We don't need a license for God, but we do need one for a gun.
I don't know about you, but I love being alive.
I want to grow my business.
It's the day of the solar eclipse. Kindly avoid stepping out.
Don't look directly at the sun, or your vision may be affected.
It could also spell trouble for you and your family.
It's Bishnu's last day today?
I heard he's showing us a movie.
I've heard of 3D movies,
but I don't know what this new VR technology is.
On the day of the robbery, Bishnu kept the guards busy in a VR film screening
on the pretext of his farewell.
YOU MUST COME
We will definitely come.
Yes, we got it.
FOOD AND DRINKS AFTER THIS
"Food and drinks after this."
I see.
We'll be getting food and drinks after the screening.
Don't we need a screen or something?
The headset itself works as a screen.
This is the first time I've experienced VR.
I'm getting a chance to meet a foreign lady before I die.
This is eternal bliss!
These guards will be here for 80 minutes.
There was still time for the eclipse, but as the VR film began,
the time for the robbery also began.
- Wow, this is amazing! - Yeah!
Looks like the film started midway. Rewind it!
These films always start from the middle.
Mr. Shukla's bad time is about to begin.
He can't escape this fate, no matter what he tries.
The incantations flew in the air, but today, even the air was restricted.
Shukla imposed a complete blockade in the area.
Everything was shut near the party office on the day of the solar eclipse.
Looks like a storm is coming.
And on account of that, the area was relatively empty that day.
Why is there a checkpoint here?
What should we do now?
Call Bishnu.
Bishnu, they've put up a checkpoint here. Many police officers are here.
We can't go past with such a big vehicle.
We won't be able to reach the party office on time.
What good will your coming here do?
Bishnu has brought something really amazing!
It's like we're watching the movie while being in it.
Triloki was revising Pandit's entire course in panic with his eyes closed.
Hail Choona Maharaj!
But he didn't know that today, along with the practical,
there was going to be a viva as well.
Maharaj, I've put up lasers inside the room.
You've-- Lasers!
Although no one can get into my party office,
I didn't want to take a risk.
You should have consulted me.
The sun's rays shouldn't be cancelled out because of the lasers.
- Anyway, come on. Hurry up. - Triloki couldn't tell anyone
about this new problem.
We need to go inside after the solar eclipse.
Because he couldn't call anyone.
Where are the sesame seeds?
Is there a shortcut?
But you came on a bike. How will we fit everything on it?
The route to theft is often convoluted.
POLICE
A bike took a shortcut through the jungle and evaded the checkpoint.
We're going after them.
I know a criminal when I see one. Over.
Sometimes, the police in this region
want not only their salaries but also awards.
- They started chasing them. - Come on, follow them!
Mr. Shukla, go and take a bath.
After that…
apply this ash.
- It should cover your arms and chest. - All right.
Won't you take a bath?
I…
I'm an Aghori.
Well, then… what about purification?
There are four forms of purification.
Cow urine, bathing, fasting, and…
- ritual. - Maharaj hesitated a little.
Hey! I'm a mixture of an Aghori and an astrologer!
Some of this is prayer, and some of it is mysticism.
That's why no one can understand all of my methods.
And that's precisely what I want!
Maharaj…
I miss Pandit a lot sometimes.
May his soul rest in peace.
He was very knowledgeable.
Let's have an astrology quiz in his memory.
Shall we? As a tribute to him.
You are also very knowledgeable.
This quiz will help me broaden my knowledge.
Triloki's laughter was tinged with fear.
When you are scared to death,
- you can mask your fear with a good laugh. - Go ahead, boy. Start your quiz.
But remember, I see the future through mysticism.
Go ahead, ask me.
What is the importance of the sacred mark?
It's the process of opening the third eye.
What should be done before giving the offering?
Libation is more important than the offering.
What is the most momentous gesture when it comes to libation?
Sacrificing our heads is the most momentous gesture.
Maharaj, you said you are an Aghori.
So, can you tell me what happens to humans after death?
What's the time?
Maharaj doesn't know the answer,
- so he's changing the topic. - You imbecile!
After death, man becomes omniscient.
Just like your CCTV cameras.
Knowledge is extensive and unlimited, but time isn't.
You don't know what time it is.
You haven't taken a bath yet and the auspicious time is close.
If you could just answer that last question,
I'd be grateful.
Triloki, you've learned all the basics very well.
You are going there as a mixture of an Aghori and an astrologer.
He may ask you a question about Garud Puran.
And its knowledge is endless.
It won't fit in your crash course.
So, if he asks you anything, just say…
Giving away the knowledge without a death as the cause…
would be like inviting death with open arms.
Mr. Shukla…
go and take a bath.
Yes.
- I'll be right back. - Don't forget to apply the ash.
- Yes. - Okay.
What is happening here?
They should have screened a religious film during the solar eclipse.
- Hey, Jhumpa. Why did Bishnu go inside? - He has gone to check something.
If you start relaxing now, you may as well forget about the robbery.
But we can't use this for the robbery. We need a vehicle.
What can we steal from this field?
As soon as Bishnu went inside, misfortune got Jhumpa and JP imprisoned.
- Where did the police come from? - Did I say "robbery" too loudly?
JP, we have to hide this. Come on.
- Hide it. Think of something. - Where?
Where can we hide it?
Who are you?
- What are you doing? - Nothing, sir. We were about to leave.
Everything's closed. What are you doing outside the party office?
- Nothing, sir. - We're from the party office, sir.
- Yes. - Do you have proof of identity?
Right here, sir.
Check their luggage.
Sir, you can't check a woman's bag just like that.
- Hands off the bag. - It's my work-related stuff.
- It's my laptop. - Hands off the bag, please.
We were here for a picnic, sir.
So, you came here for a picnic?
We know a great spot for a picnic.
The police station.
You'll also get to enjoy some music there.
Pick up the luggage.
- Let's go. - Ansari was already out of the plan.
- Bishnu, call Baankey! - Bishnu!
Now, Jhumpa and JP had also been arrested.
Shukla's horoscope appeared to have triumphed over his malefic planets.
