You can't win against me.
I've heard my sister-in-law is also in Sheikhpura.
Say hello to her from this notorious brother-in-law.
Sir! Sir, what are you doing? They have LMGs.
Aren't you going to the office today?
All of them are in cahoots.
Who are?
It's 9:00 a.m. Get up and have some tea.
-Papa, let's play hide and seek. -Come.
-You won't say good morning to me? -Good morning.
Come on, Papa. Let's play. Let's go.
Let's play.
You hide first, and then I will. Please!
Come on. Let's play.
Mummy, where is Papa? He's nowhere to be found.
What are you doing?
Your father cannot live without his phone, not even for two minutes.
Caught you!
-Caught you! -Yes, you caught me.
-I win. -Yes, you win.
Mummy called you and helped me catch you.
Son, you know what?
Your mom is a genius.
The journey has just started and you're talking about my arrival!
Now I have three more vehicles to change.
Make jackfruit curry.
One ticket to Mokama.
Oh, come on, sir.
How can I take money from you? We have to do business on the roads.
No! I'm offering money, but he won't accept it. What shall I do?
I've been suspended, brother. Take the money and give me the ticket.
Again?
Please unload his luggage.
Sir is calling you inside.
-Inside? -Yes, please come in.
Please wait inside. Sir is coming.
Amit realized that the local system
was working more for Chandan Mahto than for him.
If he wanted to catch Chandan Mahto, he had to create a parallel system.
He had turned one of the rooms into an office, a war room and a bunker.
-How are you, Ranjan? -Jai Hind, sir!
Sir, my information was correct, but I think the Gods are angry with me.
I'm trying to do good, but it's turning bad.
Ranjan, what is the one thing that you want the most?
The most important thing.
Sir…
I want Chandan to be caught and punished.
I want my wife's kidney transplant to go smoothly,
and my suspension to be revoked. That's it.
I can't revoke your suspension.
But I want you to help us catch Chandan Mahto.
After that, you will get your uniform back.
What do you say?
You took the words right out of my mouth. I'm absolutely ready for it.
Good.
Tell me one thing.
A lot of fish are reared in this area, right?
Yes, sir. There are a lot of ponds and lakes around here.
Also, there are many fishing villages.
You need a hook to catch fish.
A crooked one.
Can we do that here?
Sir, it's you!
Let him come in.
Yes, sir.
Sir, this is headman Ravinder.
Please sit.
He was a rising leader in the area two, three years back.
He had a lot of clout in the area. He's from the same community as Chandan.
And he faced Chandan as much as he could.
Actually, we captured Chotu Mandal after his brother-in-law informed us.
-Mr. Headman. -Yes.
Chandan did what he had to.
Now it's our turn.
We're making you a part of this operation
after getting strong recommendations from Ranjan.
Do you want to be a part of it?
I will definitely help you, sir.
Look, catching Chandan Mahto is your duty and responsibility,
but it's a matter of life and death for me.
I'll give it my all to catch him.
Good.
We need the phone numbers of Chandan and his gang members.
Can you get them?
Sir, Chandan Mahto is mysterious.
He has everyone's phone numbers and addresses.
But he doesn't have a permanent number of his own.
He doesn't have a permanent address.
He has created an aura around himself, he is nowhere and everywhere.
He can talk with anyone at any time at will.
From anywhere.
But if anyone else wants to speak to him or meet him…
or reach out to him, it's next to impossible.
You have to watch your step and move forward.
And even then, there's no guarantee that he'll get it.
I just need two days, sir.
I'll get you his number from someone in his gang somehow.
This is my promise to you.
You promised to come riding Elephants and horses
But you couldn't even afford a donkey
Oh, what miserable in-laws we've got
Made us a laughing stock In front of everyone
Oh, what miserable in-laws we've got
Made us a laughing stock In front of everyone
They got us sweets
Like goat droppings
Oh, what miserable in-laws we've got
They've got no shame at all
Oh, what miserable in-laws we've got
They've got no shame at all
We are very fortunate to have you at our home, Mr. Chandan.
Tribhuvan.
Bless you.
Why did you stop singing?
They were singing "Gauri".
But as you arrived, everyone got a little self-conscious.
Chandan Bhaiya, empty your pockets.
The singing shouldn't stop.
Anyone who cusses at Chandan Bhaiya will get a reward of 1,000 rupees.
Sponsored by Chandan Bhaiya himself.
Start singing.
They talk about getting chandeliers
But couldn't even get a matchbox
Flog Chandan's sister a bit
Made us a laughing stock In front of everyone
Flog Chandan's sister a bit
Made us a laughing stock In front of everyone…
When I was the SSP, I had such a big computer to work on.
BIHAR POLICE
Now that I am IG Patna, you're giving me such a small computer.
Have I got a promotion or a demotion?
Sir, this is a laptop.
It's more powerful than the desktop.
This has 500 MB of RAM and 2 GB of space. You can carry this around with you.
You can take it to meetings.
How does such a big computer fit into such a small machine?
All the parts are right there in this?
Nothing has been left behind, right?
No, sir, nothing has been left behind.
It has many more features than the desktop.
The rest of the IAS officers have got the same.
Are they able to work on it?
Yes, sir. They are.
Jai Hind, sir.
You'll live a long life.
I was just thinking about you.
But tell me one thing.
I put in a lot of effort to speak to Mr. Sarvesh
and ended your exile, made you the SP again,
but you've forgotten basic courtesy.
You didn't even thank me.
Thank you so much, sir.
Welcome.
Now, tell me, why did you call me?
Sir, we're under pressure to catch Chandan Mahto.
We've sent the application for call observation
and the parallel listening facility to the headquarters.
Sir, if we depend on the government process, it'll take months.
If you make a call, the job will be done in minutes.
Speak to your Mr. Paswan, he'll do it.
Sir, no one in all of the police department has the hold you do.
Well, you're right.
But, first, explain to me what call observation and parallel listening is.
No, I know about it.
But I can't remember it too well.
The thing is I'll have to explain it to the higher-ups properly.
Sir, if the government allows it,
we can listen to anyone's calls with the help of the telecom company.
What they talk about. Who they talk to.
What their exact plan is. We can even determine his exact location.
No. Even if I provide you with the facility to tap the calls,
what will be the benefit of it?
By the time you get the tape, he would be done with his business.
It's not phone tapping, sir. It's a parallel listening facility.
Basically, as soon as his phone rings there,
I'll also get the notification here.
He would be talking over his phone,
and meanwhile I'll be eavesdropping on the conversation.
But, sir, the telecom company will only give us the facility
if we get permission from the government.
Tell me one thing.
I speak a lot over the phone.
And speak my heart out.
Can my conversation also be heard by someone else?
No, sir. You're the IG.
Who'd give someone permission to tap your call?
Okay. You fax the application to the Home Secretary immediately.
I'll speak to him.
And, listen, dear,
like the clouds take water from the ocean and returns it,
when you catch Chandan Mahto, don't take all of the credit.
Leave some for me too.
Of course, sir. Thank you very much, sir. Thank you.
Don't mention it.
TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL
This was a time when audio cassettes were still about.
And compact discs were not.
We had the Internet…
…but the speed was merely 32 Kbps.
There were cell phones, but they were still alien to people.
People didn't believe that cell phones could be used for things
other than calling people.
Tapping someone's cell phone was like stealing the stars at that time.
-Hello. -Hello.
This is Amit Lodha, SP, Sheikhpura district, Bihar.
I've sent you a fax requesting a call observation facility.
I need it as soon as possible.
It will take some time, Mr. Lodha.
We'll have to first review it and then we'll get back to you.
How much time?
It's not some laundry service,
where you hand in your clothes in the morning and get them back in the evening.
There's a proper systematic process
for getting the call observation facility on a number.
Madam, this is urgent.
Everybody who calls me says the same thing, Mr. Lodha.
That it's urgent.
I'll look into the seriousness of your request. Okay?
Madam, hold on, hold on. Please hold on.
A few days ago, 25 innocent villagers were brutally killed
by a man called Chandan Mahto in Sheikhpura.
The number that I'm requesting for call observation
belongs to the same Chandan.
He's free right now and planning to execute many more massacres.
If this happens then I'll be held responsible for everything.
If you would've started our conversation with this information, Mr. Lodha,
we wouldn't have wasted so much time.
I'm forwarding your request marked priority. Good day.
Thank you, ma'am.
And Saumya Mukherjee, expedited the entire process and got us
the parallel listening facility on the nameless number the very next day.
Your request has been fast-tracked.
So, within ten minutes, you'll get the call observation facility on your phone.
That was it, within a few minutes we were inside Chandan's gang.
The extortion money is going down after Manikpur, Bhaiyaji.
The SP has threatened all the businessmen.
Don't worry, they'll be within our control in the next month or two.
Hello.
Ms. Saumya, there was a call on the number just a few minutes back.
I need its history and call location.
It's in Munger right now.
Thanks to Ms. Saumya, we found out that whoever's number it is
is moving continuously. And the area of movement…
…is expanded to many districts in Bihar and Jharkhand.
The extortion money is going down after Manikpur, Bhaiyaji.
The SP has threatened all the businessmen.
Don't worry, they'll be within our control in the next month or two.
That is Chyawanprash Sahu, sir!
Tanu, please check who's calling.
-Chyawanprash, who's that? -Chandan's right-hand man.
-Who's Chyawanprash? -You have food.
I don't want to eat.
-Hello. -Hello, Bhaiya.
Hello. Yes.
A new PWD tender is opening. I was asking--
Stop running after so much money that you run out of life.
Like the snake hibernates in winter, hide for a few days like that. Idiot.
Hang up the phone.
-Bhaiya, there's one more thing. -Yes, tell me.
There's a Bhumihar boy in the village.
We don't know how, but he managed to entrap our niece.
Didn't you keep an eye on him? How did he manage to entrap her?
We kept an eye on him, but what do we do?
This thing called a mobile has created a mess in the house.
How often can we guard her? She's not ready to listen to anyone.
And then the village is full of Bhumihar people.
-They show their-- -Okay, okay.
We'll warn him. If he doesn't listen after that, we'll kill him.
But that'll cost you two lakh rupees, understood?
And you need to reason with your niece or daughter, whoever it is!
Make her understand.
We're dying here for the reputation of our caste
and she is falling in love with men from other castes. Wow!
I'm in an important meeting. I'll call you later.
Okay, Bhaiya.
UNITY IS STRENGTH
So…
What was I saying?
-Army of the same caste… -Yes, army.
When a Ranveer Army, or Sunlight Army,
or a Kunwar Army can exist…
and when every caste can have an army, then why not ours?
Amit?
So sorry. You sleep.
Hello. Yes. It's me, Chyawanprash.
Yes, your number is saved.
I know your voice too. Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
Bihar-Jharkhand-Barman is going on.
Now you've taken up the big job. So, you have to do it.
Where are the kids?
Dablu must be sleeping in his room. And Surabhi must be playing.
-Do you want to talk to them? -No, no leave it.
Did you subscribe to the English newspaper?
Dablu's English will only get better if he starts reading from it now.
Yes, I've subscribed to Times India.
Very good.
Send him to school every day.
-Okay, then. I'll hang up now. -Okay.
Where are you, my queen? How are you?
Oh, let it be!
If I was a queen, I would be with my king.
Like her.
I'm not with her right now, my queen.
Where are you?
Shall I tell you?
Please, tell me.
Then listen.
If you want to listen to it so much then listen again.
Will you tell me or just keep making up fables?
I am…
in your heart.
And if you don't believe me…
then look down and open one of your blouse buttons and see.
-I'll be there. -Shut up.
-Why do you talk dirty? -Are you shy?
Listen to me. Can you give me a kiss?
Forget about it.
I don't know how this air kissing satisfies you.
I can never get enough of you.
-What can I do? -Make a plan.
The lands are dry, bring some rain.
Amit, we need some time to find out the current location,
but last night's location was the Banka district.
And the day before that was Jamalpur.
BHARAT SANCHAR NIGAM LTD.
The call before that was to Naresh Danti in Deoghar.
And the second one was to Dinesh Gupta in Dinapur village, Sheikhpura.
They must've got the sim under a fake name.
The location before that is Deoghar, right?
You're absolutely right, Amit.
Thank you so much, Ms. Saumya.
I will disturb you again. Thank you.
Is there a Dinesh Gupta in Dinapur village?
Yes, he's there. He's an ordinary guy.
Why, did something happen?
Does Dinesh Gupta have any sisters or daughters?
Ruby Gupta, his daughter.
She takes a scooter to and from the coaching center.
Do Chyawanprash or Meeta Devi have any relatives in Deoghar?
No, sir.
If he's sending the kids to school, they're not staying at a hotel.
They must have rented a house.
Ranjan, you and the headman leave for Deoghar today.
Why Deoghar, sir?
Meeta Devi is there.
Ranjan, right now you're suspended and the headman is not with the police.
Do one thing, take a trusted officer with you.
We can take Constable Shivram along with us, sir.
All right. You guys leave today.
Sir, today is Saturday, so going west will be--
Very lucky, Ranjan. Okay?
Happy journey.
Yes, sir.
How can you let him go somewhere alone?
You know what kind of place this is, right?
Madam, sir didn't give us enough time to think.
He just took the motorcycle keys and left.
Jai Hind, sir.
-What happened, Tanu? -Where did you go?
You guys leave.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
What happened? I'm all right.
Don't try to mislead me.
I know all too well what kind of criminals you're dealing with.
And why are you smiling?
I didn't know that you worried about me so much.
-I mean mine. -Shut up, Amit.
I don't know, how can a man be so smart and stupid at the same time?
Tanu, I'm absolutely okay.
Hey, Shivram!
Where are you going?
Sir, my wife has had an accident.
She's hanging between life and death in the district hospital.
Sir, please let me go.
Let's go.
DEOGHAR
-Hello. -How are you? Are you up?
Yes, I get up at 6:00 a.m. Dablu has school at 8:00 a.m.
All right. Let me speak to Dablu.
I'll call him.
Dablu!
Dear, talk to your dad.
-Hey, Dablu. How are you? -Good morning, Daddy.
Wow, you speak English so well!
Okay, now, listen, are they teaching you well at school?
Does any teacher punish or scold you?
There's one teacher who scolds me.
I told him, "My father will shoot you."
Hey, Dablu, I'll give you a tight slap and turn your face red.
Who teaches you all that?
You have to study hard and become a high-ranking officer, not a goon.
Don't talk like that again.
I'll hang up now.
And listen…
I love you.
New number?
Hello.
-How are you, Bhaiya? -Chyawanprash.
How are you? How are things going over there?
We are in full swing, Chandan Bhaiya.
That'll carry on.
Is your health okay?
I'm all good, Bhaiya.
Bhaiya, we have extorted around
forty lakhs combining Nawada, Munger and Sheikhpura.
We're getting weapons worth 15 lakhs and saving the other 25 lakhs.
How does that sound?
All that is fine.
You should come and meet me. It's been many days.
Yes, we'll catch up, Bhaiya.
Hey, boys! Come down. You'll break your bones.
Hello.
Hello, Ms. Saumya, I need the call observation for the last number
that just called Chyawanprash.
And the current location of both numbers as well.
-Give me ten minutes. -Thank you.
-Seeking your blessings, big brother. -Be blessed.
Yes!
You remembered me after many days.
Have you changed your deity or are you scared?
Can we change our deity when you're there, Chandan Bhaiya?
I might call you after a long time, but I remember you every morning.
What's your SP up to, Kanhaiya?
He's up to something, Chandan Bhaiya.
You stay alert.
I'm telling you, before he does something to you,
you need to execute one more Manikpur.
He has been shunted before, he'll go again.
All right.
I'll think about it.
Yes, Bhaiya.
Yes, sir.
Ranjan, is Kanhaiya linked to Chandan somehow?
What can I say, sir? He's our colleague and one of our own.
But to tell you the truth, he has always sided with Chandan.
Okay, listen.
Meeta Devi can be anywhere between
Nandan Pahar and the Jagadishpura station area in Deoghar.
Deoghar is a very densely populated city, sir.
But whatever it is, we'll find her somehow.
This is like finding a needle in a haystack, sir.
Sir, this Meeta Devi is a very religious woman.
It's Monday tomorrow.
If she goes to the Baidyanath Dham temple tomorrow
to offer prayers, then she's in Deoghar.
Otherwise, she's not here.
Hail Lord Shiva!
Uncle! How much are these beads?
Dear, it's free for you all today.
Uncle? Uncle?
Where did Meeta Devi go, sir?
Keep your foot down.
One minute. I'll be back.
Yes, Ranjan?
Sir, we got Meeta Devi, but she slipped out of our hands for just a bit.
Where does the road end where you are?
It ends around 70-80 meters ahead, sir.
There are two and four-storey, similar-looking buildings all around.
Good. Now you don't have to search all of Deoghar.
You only need to search for Meeta Devi in those 40-50 houses.
Ranjan, do one thing.
Check with the hawkers on the street
and find out who has subscribed to The Times of India recently.
Sir, we've found Meeta Devi's address.
Excellent work, Ranjan.
Keep in mind that Chyawanprash may come to meet his family at any hour.
So, stay alert and keep me updated.
The joy of finding Meeta Devi's address quickly turned into a tiresome wait
for Chyawanprash to visit his family.
We kept a watch on his house day and night.
Our eyes were getting tired keeping up with the watch.
But we didn't even see Chyawanprash's shadow there.
We got tired of guarding his street.
And Amit got distressed listening in to Chyawanprash and Ruby's cheap talks.
The public's hope was fading.
The press's patience was wearing thin.
We were at the point where our plan and competence were being questioned.
Right at that moment, Amit got a call related to Chyawanprash.
This time he picked up the call without much interest.
Where are you my queen, Ruby?
Are you sleeping?
Yes.
What to do?
You're not here.
By the way, where is my love today?
Where will I be? I am where I've always been.
But it seems you're on a train right now.
Oh, my god.
You have sharp ears.
You can hear everything.
I feel like kissing your ears.
Then do it.
Do you need permission?
It's not about permission.
Hey, listen!
Do you know what I feel like doing, right now?
Speak openly.
I feel like having sex with you
on the running train.
What the hell!
Oh, don't talk rubbish!
No, honestly.
When I take you to Mumbai, I'll book the first-class cabin.
It will just be me and you.
The train will keep running on one side.
And on the other, we'll carry on.
I'm nearing the station.
I won't be able to call you for two or three days now.
You take care of yourself, okay?
You're going to your wife, right? Do you think I don't understand?
Hell-- Hello? Ruby?
-Jai Hind, sir. -Ranjan, the time to act has arrived.
Chyawanprash is coming to meet Meeta Devi. You guys get going.
All right, sir.
But this Chyawanprash has AK-47s and other types of weapons.
The station house officer here was my batch mate.
We trained together.
Let's call a few constables after discussing with him.
Okay, but don't use Chyawanprash's name.
Definitely not, sir.
We'll just catch him straight away.
Okay, I'll come.
Don't be naughty, all right?
Come on.
Goodbye, kids!
Bye, Mom!
Catch him! Catch him!
Come on, drive!
Let him go!
