[Tukaram] 'It's out of Bharade's hands.'
'Let me do one thing.'
I'll get you a contract for transport at the dock instead.
You don't have enough water left in you.
- What? - Water.
Water is very powerful.
It has the capacity to cut through the toughest of rocks.
Meet me after the election.
I'll show you how much water I've got.
You'll need a sea of money to spend in the election. Do you have it?
Are you sure you'll remain in the game after the election?
Hmm?
If you lose...
...you'll be left high and dry.
[Abdul] 'You want to contest independently?'
You won't win. You need money for the ticket.
I'm on your side.
[Abdul] 'Help me get the license.'
Whatever I earn until the election, half of it will be yours.
After that, I'll send you a substantial amount every week.
[Abdul] 'Where have you brought me?'
[Tukaram] 'To Garima Talpade.'
'She can get your job done in two minutes.'
Madam, it is an urgent need of the time...
...that we all work together, and reduce the tension..
...and do whatever we can for my people.
If you help us this time...
...then, you'd be helping the entire locality.
Last month, he got the mosque renovated.
[Tukaram] 'He's highly respected in the locality.'
[Abdul] 'Madam, my people regard you...'
...as a sensitive and sensible leader.
They will always remember you.
Your party usually gets 25 or 30 seats.
This time, you'll hit a century.
[Abdul] 'I want to give employment...
...to many poor people in the locality, madam.'
- Whose area is it? - Madam...
- Seat them outside. - [Secretary] 'Yes, ma'am.'
Namaskar.
Madam, up until now, it was Bade Jadhav's area.
But if you can get me the stamp paper vendor license...
...the area will be yours.
Jadhav's party is already with me. We're going to enter a coalition.
And yet, it's only Jadhav's face on the posters.
I mean, this time, it can be yours.
- What did you say your name was? - Not was, madam. Is.
Abdul. Abdul Karim Telgi.
So, you've got an approval from Garima Talpade, no less?
Well, we live to serve the government.
They take care of us, and we take care of them.
There will be more documents, too.
Fine, I'll put your license in process.
Now that you have a recommendation letter...
...it'll be done in four to five days.
Sir, it will include everything, right?
Revenue stamp? Rubber stamp? Stamp papers?
I can do everything, right?
Why don't you start printing 500-rupee notes also?
F*****g idiot.
Greetings.
[Title Montage]
[Abdul] The one who forgives, becomes great.
I too wanted to become great.
Although I couldn't accept Jhaveri as my brother again..
..but I had the courage to rekindle my partnership with him.
[Abdul whistles]
What are you looking at?
It's not a mere license, it's a lottery ticket.
[Abdul] 'Oh, my dear brother.'
This is our opportunity to become millionaires.
Why are you turning away from it?
Let's dare together, okay?
Listen.
In a partnership...
...both people are chained together at the ankles.
Either they must run together...
...or walk side by side.
You want to run, but I just want to walk.
And if we try, we will both fall.
Forget it.
Hey, Kaushal.
I'm talking about living in peace, and you're talking about being chained?
I am already living in peace.
Because I'm content with going slow and steady.
But you want to sprint and leap.
If you keep running like this, you'll never live in peace.
You mean, it's over between us?
No.
The scores remain to be settled.
Well, I have an official license now.
So tell me, how many stamp papers do you need?
[Abdul] For the first time in life, I had defeated my circumstances.
After obtaining the vendor's license...
...the business became a 24 by 7 affair.
It grew so much, that I even called Salim from Khanapur.
Then, I brought in Suleiman and Zuben from Tukaram's NGO too.
Now, we were working our magic in Wadi Bunder every day.

We've just registered five housing societies.
One thousand apartments. We have a vendor's license..
..lawyers like Ganesh Kamble.
We also have an entire team of assistants.
And stamp papers of course.
We'll manage the registration of the whole neighbourhood...
...and you too.
[Abdul] I made a system for the business.
In any jungle, there are two real predators.
The lion, and the hyena.
A lion preys and eats alone.
But the hyenas, they work in herds.
The leftovers of the lion...
...are finished off by the herd of hyenas.
These hyenas.. the predatory herd of the system...
...is loyal to the lion only until it feeds them.
The more you feed them, the more loyal they'll be.
We're even, Shaukatbhai.
What do you mean?
You gifted your house to my daughter.
And I gifted mine, to yours.
A new house? Our own?
[Abdul] As the money poured in...
...we began realising our dreams.
She was happy. She looked peaceful.
And her smile, put me at peace too.
These papers? Have you bought a new house too?
No, these are the property papers of Shaukatbhai's guesthouse.
We both trust you more than we trust ourselves.
[Abdul] I may have been the lion of the system...
...but in the jungle that is politics...
...a new king of a new government had arrived.
Bhavya Inamdaar.
Bhavya Inamdaar may have held no position in the government...
...but he held the remote control to all the ministers.
And the vizier of this remote-controlled government...
...was one Mr. More.
[crowd cheering]
Namaskar, Sir!
- So you don't forget me. - What did you say?
Don't forget me, Sir!
Why? What's the difference between them and you?
Well, the precious thing that I have...
...none of them do.
And I've kept that precious thing very safe.
Let alone break, I won't even allow a scratch to it.
What is it?
- Is it the queen's Kohinoor? - Oh, no, no.
- It's way more valuable than that. - Huh?
Your trust.
Rascal. What a turncoat you are, just like Tukaram.
- Like whom? - Tukaram!
Oh, no, Sir, there's a huge difference between Tukaram and me.
You have to call him ten times.
But just think of me, and I'll appear before you.
You beat Talpade Madam, after all.
You deserve more than what I gave her.
You b*****d!
A smart b*****d.
[music fades]
[Lawyer] 'So, Mr. Jai Govind, I hope you're aware...
...that we can challenge...
...your claims in the honourable court too.'
I want equal distribution of our family wealth.
I want an equal share. That's why we're here.
It's a family matter. Let's resolve it between ourselves.
I haven't come here for a settlement.
Have you ever worked?
What makes you think that dad would hand over...
...the responsibility of the mill to you?
Is that why you shut down the mill within a month of dad's passing?
This will is legitimate and you know it.
If you still want to challenge it, go ahead.
I want to meet Bhavya Inamdaar.
[Bhavya Inamdaar] 'Have you read the Mahabharata?'
In the Mahabharata, to help Arjuna fight his brothers...
...Krishna spoke to him of the virtue of truth.
[Bhavya Inamdaar] 'Now, you have come to me.'
Look, this is the age of darkness.
Hmm?
[Bhavya Inamdaar] 'And in this era of darkness...'
...the divine might just side with evil, who knows?
But for that, you must make an offering to God.
[Bhavya Inamdaar] 'Jagruti Mill will be yours.'
But I'll take half of it.
[Lawyer] 'This will dated 1995...'
...we'll have to prove that it is invalid.
It's illegal, but the way is simple.
We'll have to prove that Jagruti Mill...
...always belonged to Sanjeev Patel.
That his father had given it to him in 1989...
[Lawyer] '...via a gift deed.'
It's a huge property. To make the gift deed...
...we'd require backdated stamp papers worth millions of rupees.
[Lawyer] 'How will we arrange that?'
Backdated stamp papers from before 1989..
[Lawyer] 'That too worth millions. Which vendor would take such a risk?'
Don't forget me!
Don't worry. It'll be done.
There's a bad penny I know.
He'll take this risk.
Abdul Karim...
[More]...Telgi.
What are you doing? Don't take it out here.
You'll get me into trouble.
Why fear, Bharade sir?
Inamdaar Sir is with us. Who can harm us?
Anyway...
...no one here knows what we're doing.
They won't even know the value of a normal stamp paper.
And even God won't be able to find a fault in these papers.
But I hope the records are proper?
Are you going to teach me now?
You were still taking a dump on the railway tracks of Khanapur..
...when I started doing this work.
And you're not innocent either.
Look, your job is to simply stamp this with your license...
...and deliver these documents to More.
Else, bring stamp papers worth 75 lakhs yourself.
But it's the stamp of my name that holds value, right?
Anyway, if it was a small deal, I'd have handled it on my own.
But this time, the deal is worth millions...
...and it is for Inamdaar Sir.
This calls for two rascals.
You're lucky that you reached Inamdaar Sir.
What about Garima Talpade madam? Weren't you in with her?
But she's out now.
She lost, didn't she?
If I keep feeding both the opposition party and the ruling one...
...what will I be left with?
Be careful. You shouldn't end relations with politicians abruptly.
Stick with me. I know how to keep this business intact.
[Garima Talpade] 'I've come across a six-year-old gift deed..'
'..but the vendor who has stamped this..'
..he acquired a license only a year ago.'
Honourable speaker.
These stamp papers are authorised by the government.
How can criminals get hold of them? That too backdated?
This means the ruling party and the criminal cartel...
...are clearly working hand in hand.
I strongly oppose this...
...and demand a strict investigation against all involved.
Thank you.
[crowd thumping desks]
[Bharade] 'I had told Abdul..'
..in bowing down to the ruling power, he shouldn't forget..
..the one who had helped him get that very license.
Hmm. Mr. Rajeev.
Meet him. In fact, thank him.
It's because of his backdated papers, that your brother lost in court.
It was he who gave those papers..
..to More's man, Abdul Telgi.
Those same backdated stamp papers...
...with which they made a fake gift deed.
[Rajeev] 'Madam..'
- Come, please cut the cake. - Let's go.
Mr. Bharade, I will do what I have to, as the opposition.
And you know, what you need to do.
Abdul Telgi. Pin all the blame on him.
Look, you know...
...neither Bhavya Inamdaar nor More will face any consequences.
Even this Tukaram will go unaffected.
You're the only one who'll get into trouble.
Come, have some dessert.
[crowd applauding]
[door knocking]
[doorbell]
As long as they were being fed, everyone enjoyed the feast.
Now when the heat is on, they want to make me the scapegoat.
You are not the scapegoat.
But the situation is such, some step has to be taken.
What.. What kind of step is this?
Why should I go to jail alone?
We were all in this together, weren't we?
You, I, Bharade, More, Inamdaar Sir...
Yes, I understand, but you see...
You understand nothing!
[Dombe] 'In this game, you're the last man.'
You will have to face the brunt.
This is it. This is politics.
Their pretty faces hide their wicked hearts.
[Dombe] 'But don't worry, these lions are made of paper.'
And that's where this investigation will stay. On paper.
[Rawat] 'Correct.'
We'll arrest you, but only for the record. Right, Tiwari?
Right. The case will go on. We'll handle it.
Don't worry.
Do what you have to. But the police shouldn't come to my house.
[Judge] 'Taking note of the evidence, and especially..
..the testimony of Mr. Durgesh Bharade...'
..the court hereby directs the state government..
..to revoke Abdul Karim Telgi's stamp paper vendor license..
..and to remand him to judicial custody...
...and to conduct a thorough investigation in this matter.
[Abdul] The long arm of the law had earned a lot from me.
Enough to turn those long arms into stumps.
The lion had been caged, but it was a paper cage.
[Garima Talpade] 'What's going on? Look at the level of corruption.'
The police are in cahoots with criminals.
The real culprit isn't even touched.
A small pawn is presented before the judge.
And what's worse.. He too is roaming freely today.
These people have made a mockery of our democratic and judicial system.
[crowd thumping desks]
Sir, I was outside the courtroom.
He got away from the other gate.
Sir, I thought he had already been taken into custody...
[Judge] 'I don't want to listen to any excuses.'
'They are calling us criminals.'
'Have some shame.'
'You people have made a joke of law and order.'
- 'Arrest Abdul Karim Telgi now.' - Sir.
- Abdul, let's go. - Where?
- I can't come right now. - You'll have to come. Come on.
Tiwari, I told you that the police shouldn't come home.
[Nafisa] 'What is going on?'
- Nothing, Nafisa. - It's not in my hands.
The orders are from above.
Let it be today. I'll surrender tomorrow.
- It's okay, come on. - I'll surrender...
- I said, let's go. - Listen to me.
Abdul, where are you going?
Tiwari, I told you not to create a scene in front of the family.
I'm being polite. Let's go. There will be no scene.
- Hey, free his hand. Come on! - Where are you taking him? Abdul!
It's nothing, Nafisa. Go inside, I'll talk to them.
What are you going to talk about? Let's go.
- Hold on! Let's just talk. - Let's talk in the jeep.
Let's talk here, you m**********r!
Hey, watch it. Stay in your f***ing limits!
Don't you take advantage of my niceness!
Take him! What are you waiting for? Come on!
Abdul! Where are you taking him?
- Rascal! Get in! - Come on!
- I'll thrash you! - Come on!
[Officer] - Name? [Abdul] - Abdul Karim Telgi.
[Officer] - Age? [Abdul] - 34 years.
[Officer] Spread your legs. Bend forward.
Cough. [Abdul coughs]
Turn around.
Here.
[JK] 'I told him to do the dishes..'
..and he started fighting with me.
[Abdul] It's not like the prison authorities were in love with me.
When I got there, the prison staff was hospitable and favourable to me.
Okay, sir.
And these favours had come from the same hyenas...
...that were part of my system.
It was, so that I keep my mouth shut.
[singing Vande Mataram]
Hey!
Call the doctor!
[Nafisa] Are you eating too many sweets in prison?
Diabetes at this young age?
Stress causes diabetes too.
Stress? But you haven't done anything.
Why should you stress?
Nafisa.. you do know, don't you?
I've been trapped by powerful people.
I know.
Nafisa, you shouldn't come here.
When you send food from home...
...send a letter along with it.
I'll feel like you're with me.
[JK] 'Abdul Mian. It's me, JK. Remember me?'
Oh. Hey.
- How are you? - I'm fine.
- I hope you're feeling fine now. - Yes, absolutely.
Thank you, for the other day.
- Oh, no need to thank me. - No, of course...
You're famous here, aren't you?
The shine of Nashik, this.
It was minted yesterday.
My court hearing is approaching. I'll be out of here soon.
I got caught in a small fraud.
All the big fish got away, I had to face the fire.
Forget all this.
Keep this coin.
Me?
- Why... - Just keep it.
This shiny coin will remind you of me.
What do you mean?
I'm a mechanic.
I may be a mechanic, but I've got clever brain, just like you.
We can work together in the future.
Together? - [JK] Yes..
What can we do together?
We'll stay in the system, but make a system of our own.
I know how..
..even though you were working within in the system...
...you didn't reveal the names of any of your accomplices.
I am looking for someone like you.
Let's meet once you're out of here.
Our fates could shine too, like this coin.
My daughter looks like an angel.
- I can't wait to meet Abbu. - Hmm.
Zia.
Prepare a feast. I'll bring Abdul.
We'll come too.
No, Abdul wouldn't want Zia to see him coming out of prison.
I'll bring him.
Nafisa didn't come with you?
Don't even think of going back to them.
What is this?
Go back to Khanapur.
I will not let Nafisa and Zia's lives be ruined.
But Shaukatbhai...
Abdul, divorce her.
I'll take care of them.
[doorbell ringing]
I've vowed to be with her until eternity, Shaukatbhai.
I can't even think about leaving Nafisa.
[Abdul] 'Bad times don't make a person bad.'
You took care of Nafisa and Zia in these hard times.
I'm grateful to you for that.
Now, if Nafisa is ready, I want to take them along.
[crowd chattering]
Business won't resume.
We'll do something else. Take a break until then.
Abdul Bhai.
Call when you need us. We'll be at your service.
What should I do?
Go back to Khanapur. Take care of Ammi.
Why don't you come too? Ammi misses you a lot.
I'll send more later.
[pager beeping]
Over there.
Abbu..
[indistinct chatter]
Yes, that too..
Give me 105 rupees.
[indistinct chatter]
Cut the tail off.
[indistinct chatter]
Put it in the bag.
[phone ringing]
[Abdul] Hello. It's Abdul.
Abdul Karim Telgi.
- Abdul. - Yes?
[JK] Do you recognise me?
It's JK.
[JK] I heard you're out?
Yes, it's been 10-15 days.
If you want to make money, come to Nashik today.
[JK] I have some work for you.
Come.
Come on.
At the Nashik press, whenever a machine breaks down...
...they dismantle it into small parts.
People buy those parts in an auction.
I buy some too.
And I have fixed customers who buy them from me.
But I'm fed up of this junk and scrap business.
And so, now you want to steal stamp papers?
You're spot on.
Through this scrap business, I met Bapat and Chhatre.
They work at the Nashik press.
They have a deadly plan.
They're on their way. Hear it from them.
It's awesome.
Bapat, Chhatre, tell Abdul about your plan.
I've been working in the print quality department...
...at the press, for 12 years.
This is Bapat, he's senior to me.
He's been in the machine department for 15 years.
You've been swimming in a pond all this while.
This is where the river originates.
[Chhatre] Nashik Security Press is no less than a fort.
There are security guards at every corner.
Even a dog can't enter without the government's permission.
Coming to the stamp papers.
The ink, paper, design, printing...
...everything is standardised. No one can copy it.
At this security press...
...thousands of stamp papers are printed every day.
We need to scoop up just a handful of water from this ocean.
[Abdul] How?
Once the stamp papers are printed...
...the quality control department evaluates them.
[Chhatre] They check all the prints...
...and divide the papers in two sections.
Accept, and reject.
The quality control officer has to write on an official paper...
[Chhatre]...how many papers were accepted and how many, rejected.
Now, the idea is, that we will change the figure...
...of the rejected papers.
And put some good papers... in the rejected boxes.
We'll steal around 600-700 stamp papers daily.
What do you say?
And you and I, we will sell those in the market.
How many papers in a day are genuine rejects?
Around 30-50 per day.
And you want to steal 600-700 a day?
- Is that the plan? - Isn't it great?
It's an utterly stupid plan. It won't even last for four days.
Where's the scope to increasing the scale?
When the number of rejected papers increases from 50 to 600...
...won't the quality control department raise questions?
The rejected boxes will be re-checked.
Your theft will be caught instantly.
Forget about it. It won't work.
- Abdul Bhai... - It's not like that.
It will work.
If you pull this off...
...I'll personally sell your stamp papers to my old customers.
Like I used to, before I got a license.
The 100-rupee ones for 80, and the 500-rupee ones for 450.
I can easily sell 8-10 per day in Mumbai.
But it won't happen.
- We can. We'll do it. - You can't.
Abdul.. listen...
Your vada pav was better than this.
[JK] Abdul, you tell me. How do we make this plan work?
[Abdul] This plan can only work if the most senior officer...
...at the press works with us.
[JK] Madhusudan Mishra?
[Abdul] Hmm. We'll have to break him.
[JK] I'll tell you what.
I'm going for an auction of machine parts tomorrow.
Madhusudan Mishra will be there.
Come with me, as one of my workers.
And find and break him.
- Do you see that at the back? - Hmm.
That's ours.
[Auctioneer] 'Jayant Karmarkar, Star Company.'
Come.
- Item number 2234. - Yes.
How many times a year does this printing machine get auctioned?
This... Once in three or four years.
Sir..
Hey, what are you doing? Show me.
That's Madhusudan Mishra.
[Madhusudan] What have you done?
Go, break him.
- What is this now? - Just two minutes, sir.
How long have you been working here?
Go. What are you thinking? Break him.
I had a friend. He would say. "The future hides in junk."
I can see the future today.
Change of plan.
