What's going on here? Move, please!
The rest, come here!
How many times do I need to tell you
that Dr. Shekhawat is on leave?
Why do you keep showing up?
Sister, the injection that was administered for my wound
has given me a terrible reaction.
I have blisters everywhere. They're even starting to pop.
Please cover that up. All the way!
Now, listen.
Come back on Tuesday and see Dr. Renuka. Now, go.
Leave!
Just keep taking your medication on time, as prescribed. Okay?
This one is fine.
Vivek, can you open a window at least?
Feels like a gas chamber in here.
Just focus on the calls and don't annoy me please, Sushi.
Hello? Yes, this is Sister Nupur from the government hospital.
Weren't you struggling with a migraine problem?
Okay, so how are you doing now?
Anything else? Fever, et cetera?
-You have the prescribed medication? -Hello?
Okay, just keep taking them on time. Okay?
-Fuck. -This one is fine too.
Listen...
Our other driver, Bilal?
-What about him? -He's showing symptoms.
Epistaxis. His nose is bleeding.
Are you out of your mind?
You did a trial on him too?
-So what? -Why not volunteer me too?
Why are you creating so much drama? I'm already stressed enough.
Can you and your dad stop attacking me for once?
You're going to bring all of us down.
I will take us down? Me?
You've been part of every decision I've made so far.
We discussed everything!
You want to go on vacations. Huh?
You want club memberships. You think they're free?
And thanks to you, Sushi, only because of you,
I even sold government-issued medication.
Didn't you have a complex about having a small car?
And please stop playing these blame games now.
-Think about what to do next. -Exactly, think about it!
I carried the trial on eight patients.
Bilal is showing symptoms; Tukaram is already dead. Think!
Vivek...
Not eight.
Nine.
Good morning, my child.
Hey, why haven't you eaten breakfast yet?
-Your tea's gone cold. Let me-- -Papa!
Papa, what is my value in this house?
I get to know from an outsider that my mom has had a stent placed?
Do you know how embarrassing that is for me?
And what is the point of my being a doctor then?
Were you here?
How could I tell you? Besides, what would I have said?
How were we to know you would return to Bhopal
and join the very same hospital?
Are you here to show everyone that you take care of us?
We're seeing your face after eight long years.
There's a big difference between paying attention and giving attention.
Just because I don't show it doesn't mean I don't care about you both.
Papa, you could've told me. What if something went wrong?
I was here to make sure that didn't happen, child.
Sit. Jamuna needs stitches.
I'll be back before you know it. Have a seat, relax.
If you won't feed me, buy me a cigarette at least?
Why don't you smoke the one between my legs?
I would.
If you could light it up for me.
Motherfucker!
-Hush! -Sorry...
What nonsense he's spouting.
Ignore him.
Which one of you is Mangu?
Okay, please sign here, here and here.
Here, sign these quickly.
This is a trial for an immunity-building drug.
"Immunity" means the body's ability to fight disease.
Yes, sister, I explained it all to them. Don't worry.
-Didn't I? -Yes?
You haven't eaten anything since this morning, right?
I didn't let them.
Sister!
Where is the other sister?
The one who administered the injection to my folks last week?
You go, bro.
Now I get why this dude came dressed to the nines!
Good morning, Bablu sir.
How was she hurt?
That protest outside the award function.
That's what did it.
Did you meet Dr. Shekhawat?
Ow! No.
You know Pramod Ahuja?
Dr. Shekhawat is his son-in-law.
How can you expect a minister to listen when a doctor doesn't?
-Ouch! -Papa, let me do it.
-Easy. -Let me.
Look that way.
I'll write you a prescription. Take your meds on time, okay?
Papa, scissors?
Please calm down. Come on, you're scaring the kids.
There, there.
All done.
Can I see that?
Jamuna...
There's no report about Tukaram's death in here.
Do you have any other papers?
Everything I have is in there.
Okay, when you were given Tukaram's dead body...
Sorry. I'm sorry.
Listen to me.
When you received it, did you notice any big cuts on it?
A gash down the front of his chest?
We barely got to see him for the last time, miss.
Yes, miss.
There was a long gash from his chest to his stomach.
She kept touching it.
Saying if we could put some food inside,
Papa would wake up.
And she doesn't know anything.
She wasn't in her right senses at the time.
Hmm. Jamuna, listen.
You have to go to the hospital and get the autopsy report.
I am never setting foot in that place again!
They swallowed my husband whole!
He was perfectly fine, miss. Just had a little backache.
And they gave him an injection without explanation!
Dr. Shekhawat was saying it would give him instant relief.
But there's nothing about an injection here?
Jamuna, the autopsy report is very important.
You have to get it from the hospital by any means.
Take my number from Papa.
If there's any problem, call me, okay?
Okay.
This is amazing. Just looking at the money
made your backache go away?
What a great gig, Mangu!
Hold this, you cunt.
So much money for bending over once?
Do you guys think this is all a piece of cake?
It's an undertaking, let me tell you.
UP, MP, Punjab, Haryana...
In all these places, people are lining up to get pricked.
And it's not this easy to get pricked. Do you get it?
Speaking of getting pricked... How's your nurse, mister?
Any progress?
Looks like there is!
Swear to god, brother.
The way she smiled at me.
Good morning, Doc.
Okay, let's begin.
The financial reports of our previous quarter
are in front of all of you.
I have also sent the budget plan of our next quarter
to my father in London, our fifth board member.
Dr. Nath, please go ahead.
Dr. Shindey, would you like to say something?
I have nothing new to say.
You have the capital to open new research centres,
the capital to employ new personnel.
But none for the devices required by my cardiology department.
Snehal, please.
I have already given you the full list.
All the money simply gets allocated to Elisir.
I know it's your dream project, but there's a limit to everything.
There's no limit to saving people's lives and caring for them.
You and I started Manthan with this very vision.
Saving lives.
Elisir is just one more step in that direction.
Dr. Shindey, we want to make Elisir operational as soon as possible.
It's our revenue machine. You already know this.
I've been listening to the same thing for a year.
I've spoken to the vendors already. I can't ask them to wait anymore.
The land that we needed for the Elisir extension,
we're now getting it at a subsidised rate.
Any funds we have left over will be directed straight to you.
I'll make my point one last time.
Manthan's funds should be used for Manthan only.
You can use your personal funds towards Elisir's needs.
I'm sure there's no dearth of that.
-I understand your point. -Oh, do you?
-I do, more than you think. -Dr. Shindey...
Manthan is my first baby.
And you know the importance of the first baby.
We understand what Manthan needs.
And we will fulfil all those needs.
Elisir is our second baby; we can't ignore it.
It's not about ignoring. It's that...
Manthan is our need.
And Elisir is simply your ambition.
Anyway, I don't have much time.
I have to go. It's my OT day.
Of course.
And I missed you at the award function.
Congratulations.
Thank you. I hope I see you in the evening today?
Oh, I'll try my best, but my schedule is very tight.
Hey there, boy.
Not hungry?
You're a diamond, my boy.
But why are you slumming it in the rough?
Seriously, Bablu sir, you're too much.
Don't be shy.
Look at her.
A bombshell.
That's why I married her.
Hi, ma'am.
Darling.
I've asked the DJ... to play your favourite song.
Set the floor on fire.
Come with me.
It's going well, buddy.
The future rests on the shoulders of young boys like you.
Right? Here. Take it.
Sit.
Have you ever been outside Bhopal?
Do you want to?
Will you go to Jabalpur?
Chandigarh?
It's a long game.
Bumper trial, bumper earnings.
Cheers.
Do me a favour.
Here. Enjoy.
Bablu sir, now you're just taking the piss.
You're yanking my chain!
Motherfucker, I'm not giving it to you.
I'm taking my girl to Kashmir.
It's yours for the time being. Here.
Don't forget.
This is going to be a long game.
Okay?
Now it makes sense...
Mr. Ahuja? Hi.
Oh, hello, Ms. Saira.
-Can I talk to you for a second? -Oh, sure!
So, Dr Nath was right about you.
I've been told Mrs. Savarkar is finally going home tomorrow?
-Yes, finally. -Congratulations.
Thank you, and to you too.
Well, Manthan is thankful to you.
-Did you meet Mr. Mehra? -Mr. Mehra?
He handles our marketing.
For doctors like us here, networking is very important.
Yes, I'll surely meet him.
Mr. Ahuja, I wanted to ask you something.
Your son-in-law is a general physician, right?
Yes, at the government hospital.
I'll introduce you to Vivek someday.
Yeah, I would really like that.
Coincidentally, my father knows someone
whose husband was a patient of Dr. Shekhawat's.
And the family has been trying to meet with him for some time now.
-Please come. Let's... -Yeah, sure.
You know the state of a government hospital.
General physicians employed there don't even have time to breathe.
These days Vivek is a little unwell.
Maybe that's why he couldn't meet the family.
What did you say the patient's name was?
The wife's name is Jamuna; the patient's name is Tukaram.
I mean, was. He died a few days ago.
In Dr. Shekhawat's absence, the hospital won't release his reports.
-I was hoping you could help. -Oh.
I'm really sorry for her loss.
By the way, how do Jamuna and your father...
My father is a retired compounder.
She came to him for some stitches.
Oh! Like father, like daughter!
Please arrange for me to talk to Dr. Shekhawat.
-Sure. -Thank you. Have a good day.
-You too. -Bye.
Yes?
What?
I need the coronary angiogram and the MRI by tomorrow.
Dr. Vashist, you will assist me in the morning.
Yeah, Doctor.
By 10 o'clock, we'll start the surgery.
Keep monitoring him through the night.
Any changes, just let me know.
Yes, ma'am.
Dr. Nath! Sorry, sorry...
I'm here without an appointment.
No...
-It's a pressing issue... -Yeah, sure.
Thank you, Dr. Nath.
-Thank you, Dr. Nath. -It's okay.
How can I help you?
Dr. Nath, so Aspire... Can... can I sit?
Yeah, sure.
Dr. Nath...
The camps that Aspire is conducting.
Out of 50 test subjects, 11 are showing severe symptoms.
All the trials happening in Aspire are being conducted by Manthan.
You understand, right?
Two subjects are dead, Dr. Nath.
These are the reports.
And then...
And then there's Tukaram.
-Who's Tukaram? -It's my fault.
It's totally my fault.
Tukaram...
Dr. Nath...
If these trials are not stopped immediately,
it's going to be a big problem.
Dr. Nath, S93R is not a drug. It's poison.
That's a huge thing you're saying.
Yeah, it's very huge, madam.
I'm going to talk to Aspire and Vayu Pharma today itself.
Yes, Dr. Nath, I knew you were the right person to tell.
Vivek! You didn't tell me you were coming to Manthan!
I did.
-No, I-- -Look, Dr. Nath is very busy.
It's okay, it's okay.
Please understand. She's--
Dr. Shekhawat is here about a very serious matter.
It's a very serious problem!
-Okay. -It's very urgent!
All right, I get it.
We'll manage it. Come.
-Please look into it, Doctor. -I will.
-Thank you very much for your time. -Not at all. Thanks for telling me.
-I'm really sorry for disturbing you. -Thank you for telling me.
Thought it's my duty to just--
I promise you I'll look into it.
Okay.
You came in here intoxicated and barged straight into Gauri's office?
Has your brain stopped functioning?
Fifty more people have undergone the trial.
Already a majority of the subjects are showing severe symptoms.
Dr. Nath should know what's going on!
What did Gauri tell you? What did she say?
You don't need to do anything. Okay?
Now, go straight home.
And don't come here without informing me. Understand?
You're reeking of alcohol.
How much longer will you keep embarrassing me?
Hey, jerk!
Where do you think you're going?
You messed with the wrong crowd!
You dare ignore our calls? Asshole! Go, go!
Hey, wait!
I'll break every bone in your body
if anyone touches the motorcycle! Okay?
Now scram! Or you'll get a beating!
What's wrong, Ma?
Where were you all day?
She's been running a high fever all afternoon.
And it keeps going higher.
What? A fever? How, Ma?
-Hello, ma'am. -Hello.
Welcome.
Please come.
-This way, ma'am. -Thank you.
Hi, Dr. Swarup.
Oh! What a surprise!
You are here at this party?
Ma'am, your drink.
-Meet my wife. -Hi.
Hi.
Mahima, she's the one I mentioned about.
New cardiac surgeon.
This Dr. Bharadwaj...
As usual blowing his own trumpet.
-Seriously! -Rashida...
is a very well-known scientist.
And Saira is a junior surgeon.
Not so experienced, you know?
-Yes. -Yeah.
Chandrakant is here.
As usual, without his wife, Avantika, by his side.
Avantika is Gauri's cousin, right?
By the way...
you do have a certain something.
Just look.
She came on Dr. Nath's recommendation and...
now she's made it here as well.
-Right? -Agreed.
Either you have the talent or the audacity.
Cheers!
Cheers. Everyone having fun?
Yeah, yeah.
-How's Rhea? -Rhea's doing well.
Great. You look so beautiful!
Thank you.
Dr. Nath, your house is just stunning.
Thank you.
Would you like to see it?
Yeah, sure! Excuse me.
-Dr. Yudhishtir Nath. -My grandfather.
He was the first doctor in our family.
Great man.
And that's Dr. Abhimanyu Nath.
-The hero of your life. -My dad.
I so wish he was here right now.
To carry such a big legacy,
it just all sounds so wonderful, but I'm sure it's not easy.
What will you have?
I'm fasting today.
Oh.
-Hello, sir. -Hello...
Shall we talk in private?
Private talks usually mean mind games.
But if you're bringing it up, it must be important.
You're a perceptive man.
Let's go.
What do you want?
Your blessings.
And a little more land for Elisir's extension.
So, what's the problem?
That land is currently home to a children's park.
The matter is closed then.
I'm a real estate man.
I can build a park in every neighbourhood in Bhopal.
All you need to do is allot that land for the extension,
and, as always, 10% is yours.
I facilitated Elisir's approval for 10%.
Now you want an extension on that.
It's only fair that you approve my extension too.
Then you'll get your approval.
Even government officers are given increments every three years.
And I am the government itself.
Why don't you learn something from Gauri?
The elections are around the corner.
25% for the approval.
Don't embarrass me by bargaining.
I should mingle with your other guests.
Pratap!
This is Dr. Saira Sabharwal. Cardiology.
Gauri's best find.
Hi, nice to meet you.
Ashok. Nice meeting you.
Gauri!
Where is everyone? Where is Shindey? I'm missing the fun!
-I need to have a word with you. -Of course.
It's very important.
Of course, not tonight, but...
Okay, whenever you like.
Would I dare to refuse you anything?
Thank you.
I think it was Picasso who said...
"Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist."
Good evening, Abhay, my son.
Dad, I'm hungry. So, fuck Picasso. I need pizza.
That's a bad habit for a doctor.
I'm... I'm so sorry.
-It's okay. -Are you sure?
Okay.
Want to go for a walk?
Yeah, sure. One second.
Youth is not easy.
It's difficult for him. It's...
difficult for me.
He just wants your attention.
Being a single child, I understand that.
Sorry, I didn't mean it like that.
-It's okay. -Sorry.
You're going to have to stub that cigarette right now.
Mangla Gauri's temple.
It is cleansed every night with milk.
God appreciates purity.
Come.
-I didn't know you have dogs! -You don't know anything about me.
Take care.
You'll love them.
Boys?
Boys...
Hi, babies!
Hi, little ones!
Good boy!
They like you.
-Such disciplined boys! -Hi!
-They're absolutely beautiful. -Right?
I know. Beautifully dangerous.
Their best quality is their loyalty.
My babies! What handsome boys!
What gorgeous babies!
Gorgeous one!
I love you too!
I love you too, my babies!
A beauty spot.
I'm sorry.
-I'm so sorry. -Let's call it a night.
I told you when COVID hit as well.
You didn't listen to me then. At least listen to me now.
You have everyone in your pocket. MLAs too.
Why don't you file a no-confidence motion?
The land allotment for Elisir will be done.
I will make it happen.
Elisir is for the poor.
And Nathu Lal is asking for 25%.
He's such a thief.
He doesn't care about the people.
But you know...
that Elisir is for Bhopal.
For the people of Bhopal.
Patience, Gauri.
Very soon you'll see him holding a begging bowl.
I will be the next Chief Minister.
You make the preparations accordingly.
I have convinced Pratap.
He's spoken to the investors already.
There won't be any problems with the funding of your campaign.
Gauri...
You really are very beautiful.
Do you have to go?
I have work.
I'll see you soon.
So, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
a truly selfless hero of the society,
a brilliant neurosurgeon,
Dr. Gauri Nath.
MADHYA PRADESH BHAWAN
