ANGER STARTS WITH FOLLY AND ENDS WITH REPENTANCE
-We'll call it at 22. -Shit.
There's a game in my village…
in which the joker is bigger than the king.
Somebody has killed Abhyuday Bhaiya! Let's go!
There are more prisoners from backward castes
in comparison to other castes in Indian prisons.
Chandan Mahto was not a sociologist,
but the ten days he spent in prison placed this fact in front of him.
An uneducated, ignorant person was beginning to understand the math
behind majorities and minorities very quickly.
And in this way, two different people
from two different paths were reaching their milestones very quickly
and heading towards each other.
So, you are an engineer from IIT Delhi.
Sir.
What inspired you to join the civil services?
Sir, because I really want to serve my country
and contribute to the betterment of society.
Okay, look.
There are 1,000 ways that you can serve the country.
You can join the army.
On the other end, you can join an NGO.
Why the civil services?
And you've chosen IPS as your highest preference even over IAS.
Why is that?
Ma'am, because this job is very challenging
in today's social context.
And I feel that by being an IPS,
I can realize my capabilities in this profession.
And I know that I will be able to care for the people and the society
in the most efficient manner.
You know how many candidates have given the same answer before you?
I think you guys must have read the same guide.
Do you really have a more genuine reason to become an IPS officer?
Sir, you are right.
That was a very cosmetic answer.
And I want to thank you for giving me a second opportunity
to tell you exactly why I want to join the IPS.
Sirs, ma'am.
We read about the atrocities and the lawlessness
in different parts of the country and the media every single day.
As a citizen of this country, I can either complain about the wrongdoings,
or I can try to solve the problems in some way.
I don't want to complain.
I want to make a change.
And I feel that the uniform of a police officer will empower me
to make that change.
And I understand that with the uniform comes power.
Power to effect the change that I'm talking about.
Power corrupts, Amit.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I beg your pardon, sir.
But that's the myth.
Power doesn't corrupt people, people corrupt power.
Our dishonesty has made power wrong.
In short,
I want to make a difference and not a small one.
BIHAR
Now you've started smiling at yourself?
I just remembered something.
Papa! Papa, I'll come to your office with you too!
You want to come with me?
Have you had your breakfast? What did you have?
-Dosa. -You had dosa?
Your mom didn't feed me dosa.
I made it specially for Avi…
No school today?
You want some bread?
Greetings.
Jaiswal.
Mr. Verma has sent you a gift, Mr. Chandan.
The best stock from our showroom. It's Vimal.
Choose the fabric you like,
and we'll get something made for you in it.
Recently, Mr. Verma's not even allowed me near his car,
let alone sit in it.
Today he's sent his car.
His fire's cooled off, has it?
What can I say, Mr. Chandan? The fire was really big.
No one knew you would extinguish it like a rain cloud.
Mr. Verma was saying…
Chandan must be angry.
But when he comes to me, I will pacify his fury.
At the very least, choose some material.
You see, I don't understand all this.
Chyawanprash, have a look at it. Choose some material for yourself too.
Bhaiya, I'm from the same school as you. Even I don't understand all this.
Darling, you choose it for us.
You're always focused on your well-being and appearance anyway.
Have a look at it.
These prints are out of fashion.
I'll go to the shop and choose them myself.
That's no issue.
It's your shop, Bhabiji. You can visit it anytime.
Mr. Jaiswal, aren't you the president of the Sheikhpura Business Committee?
This is the list of the merchants at the market.
Bhaiya has approved it.
I've written your name on there too.
You are one of our own, so it'll only cost you 30,000.
You'll find the rest of the payment details on the list.
Please organize a meeting and inform the rest of the members.
Mr. Chandan,
what should I say to Mr. Verma? He's a leader.
To tell you the truth, I have to give it to other people too--
Refuse them, Mr. Jaiswal.
If they dispute it,
tell them that Chandan Mahto has asked you not to give it to them.
In any case,
there's no one left in the game after Abhyuday Singh and Bharta Yadav.
Now, if any new player comes, he'll only be from Bhaiya's team.
And what if someone says no?
Let me know the name of the first person who says no.
A fair election is a challenge in Bihar.
And Bihar Police has accepted this challenge.
We have to do our election duty with honesty and fairness.
Arrest anyone who has a criminal history.
Get people to surrender their unlicensed weapons.
You all have to erase the fear from the minds of the people.
And prepare a report of the election plan in your district within a week.
Thank you.
Sir.
You eat so little despite being a police officer.
How will you survive?
Sir, I get full with this much.
Don't take the DGP's instructions too seriously.
This honesty, fairness, bravery,
all these are expensive ornaments of the police department.
You don't wear them every day.
People wear ornaments at weddings
so that others know they possess them,
and then the next day, they put them back in the locker.
In the same manner, when there's a departmental meeting or a lecture,
you should wear these ornaments of honesty, bravery, principles, etc.,
to show off.
I feel like Mr. Hoshiyar will strike a hat trick.
How's the ambience in your district?
Sir, I don't know about the ambience,
but law and order is strict in my district.
I'll make sure the election is conducted fairly out of all districts in Bihar.
You're a big fool, Amit.
Open your eyes, ears, and nose, and be alert.
Mr. Ujjiyar can call you anytime.
And give him the preliminary report.
I've fought with him and given you a district like Muzaffarpur.
I'm sorry, sir, but I'm a civil servant. I'm not a slave of some leader.
-Sir, in fact, you should also-- -Listen, keep your knowledge to yourself.
You'll need it later.
-Amit Lodha? -Sir.
You're doing really good, Amit.
-Keep it up. -Thank you so much, sir.
-I've heard a lot about you. -Good or bad?
What do you think, Mr. Chaubey?
Has the boy heard good or bad things about me?
Good things, of course, sir.
You're the diamond of the police department.
I was talking to Amit about you.
That if you want to progress, learn from people like DIG Paswan.
Right, Amit?
I was talking about it, right?
Now?
Yes, sir. We were just talking about you.
-Good luck. -Sir.
He's an even bigger fool.
Don't be like him.
He's from our batch. Got through the quota.
But he is still a DIG.
I'm telling you, I'll become an IG before him.
-Sir. -Sir.
Sir, you gave an excellent speech.
Young officers will be highly motivated.
The Election Commission has declared the date for the Bihar Assembly Elections.
The voting will be done in two phases on the 16th and 18th November, respectively.
To know more about the preparations for the elections,
the Director General of Bihar Police held a meeting with police officials today.
What do your kids do?
My elder son took his tenth board exam this year.
I see.
And the younger one hates studying.
He's somehow reached high school.
How are you? Is everything okay?
Take this offering from the Shiva temple.
Take it.
-Namaste, Bhabiji. -How are you?
Take this. Offerings from the Shiva temple.
Bhabiji, I am fasting today.
But my husband's not fasting. So give this box to him.
-I'll come at noon to collect it. Okay? -Okay.
Meeta Bhabi has given us some offerings from the temple.
Why are you giving them to me?
Give them out to everyone. After all, they're offerings. You also have some.
I'm fasting today. Here.
Have some. You shouldn't say no to offerings.
-I haven't flossed my mouth. -Doesn't matter.
Hello, Mr. Chef, did you have tea?
No, not yet. The milk is yet to be delivered.
Have a smoke while you wait for the milk.
Okay. You gave me Wills today?!
Do you have a match?
The matchbox is there in the kitchen. It's a great day, have a great smoke.
Knead it more. It's not done yet.
Why is everyone lazing about today?
We only have half the staff on Sundays.
Weekends don't matter in prison, hospitals, and trains. Don't you think?
Yes, you're right.
CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTE, NAWADA BIHAR
OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
BIHAR FIRE SERVICES
Sir, I'm calling from Nawada Prison.
Sir, there's been an attack on the prison. Please send some backup quickly, sir.
RESIDENCE RAMESH KUMAR SINGH
WARDEN CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTE, NAWADA
Get inside, both of you.
Move out of the way, Uncle.
Just because I'm being nice to you doesn't mean I won't do my duty.
Reap the benefits of the offerings?
You'd be alive if you'd had them.
-Let's go! -Let's go!
-Come, sit, quickly! Come on. -Get in quickly.
-What happened? -Bhaiya, the car's not starting.
How is that possible?
What kind of car have you got? Is it stolen?
Push it, come on!
-Push it! -Watch out, Bhaiya.
You…
-Go, sit in the front. -Get in.
Come, Bhaiya, quickly. Get in quickly.
Who says there can't be a hole in the sky?
Throw a stone with force and see.
Brothers, there can be a hole in the sky
as well as progress for us backward castes.
UNITY CONFERENCE
We want the entire sky.
Don't talk about petty things with us.
Speak clearly.
The bigger the numbers,
the bigger share of seats.
How are you, Chandan?
I'm good, Mr. Verma.
Just broke out of prison to come and meet you.
Well, if you had met me before,
I wouldn't have gone to prison in the first place.
That would have been worse, Chandan.
You wouldn't have been hugging me today.
You would have had to touch my feet.
You would have been doing some small jobs.
But today, you're my equal.
Now, thank me for not saving you from drowning.
You learned to swim because of that.
You learned to measure the waves.
You have transformed into Chandan Mahto from mere Chandan.
Are these small things?
Then let's talk big from now on.
I won't listen to anything you say, Chandan.
Because even before listening to you,
I agree with everything that you say.
We need to save ourselves.
BACKWARD CASTES PUBLIC REPRESENTATIVE FELICITATION CEREMONY
We need to question ourselves
about our identity.
And it's such a great pleasure for us
that our youth leader, Chandan Bhaiya, is among us.
Now see,
people are saying he has committed a crime by breaking out of prison.
But how?
Was it right to send him to prison for the wrong reasons?
Where's the crime in setting wrong to right?
Now, let me invite Chandan Bhaiya to speak a few words in front of you.
Please give him a big round of applause.
Please come.
I won't say much.
There are more knowledgeable, competent,
and honest people than me here.
Do you know the song…
"Got a stain on my veil, how do I remove it"?
So, there is a stain not on my veil but on my kurta.
But I want to tell you all one thing.
If speaking the truth is rebellion,
then I'm a rebel.
If it's a crime to speak out against injustice,
then I'm a criminal.
These people have branded Ms. Phoolan as a criminal too.
Why would they leave me?
Now, it's up to you to decide…
whether I'm a criminal, or a warrior,
or a rebel, or whatever.
I don't care about what the world calls me.
But there is one thing…
if anyone raises their eyebrows at you,
if anyone raises their hand against you,
I won't care whose hand it is,
I'll blind those eyes and cut those hands! This is my promise to you.
Hail Chandan Bhaiya!
Dablu's mother?
Come here.
-Chandan Bhaiya wants to say something. -To me?
-What? -I don't know. He wants to see you.
Come.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a tiger by the toe.
-If he hollers, let him go-- -Bhaiya.
You like to fight, right?
What-- What happened, Chandan Bhaiya? Did she say something?
No, I'm asking
because when I saw her first, she was fighting with the guard.
The next time, she was fighting with you.
The third time, she was fighting with the neighbor when we broke out of prison.
So, I was thinking if she's fond of fighting…
let her join in the election fight.
Election?
Chandan Bhaiya, you scared me unnecessarily.
What do you say,
Barbigha's Samajwadi Public Party candidate, Meeta Devi?
Thank you, Bhaiya.
I want to file an FIR, sir.
I'm receiving threats on my life.
They said if I don't back out from the elections,
my wife will have to spend the rest of her life as a widow.
When did we start filing an FIR for a threat?
You're a leader, yet you don't know this?!
Go. Come back when the murder happens.
Wow, how great is this!
When he's been murdered, you'll file an FIR, and he'll come back to life!
Right?
It's the police's duty to stop the crime from happening.
Who the hell are you?
I'm your new Station House Officer, Ranjan Kumar.
Jai Hind, sir.
Go and write up his FIR.
Come. Please come.
Thank you, sir.
Sorry, sir.
KASAR STATION DISTRICT - SHEIKHPURA
Yes.
STATION HOUSE OFFICER
Is everything okay?
Yes, I've arrived safely.
I hope you haven't forgotten me.
I am Ranjan Kumar.
I have been transferred from Lohardaga Station
to Kasar Station in Sheikhpura.
Lohardaga was a Naxal and rebel belt.
My wife, Amar's mother, was very happy when I got transferred from there.
She didn't really know this place.
It's delicious.
It's well cooked.
How much is meat per kilo over here?
How would we know, sir? We don't have to pay for it.
What do you mean?
Are you rearing goats at the station?
You're funny, sir.
We neither pay for the meat nor rear goats.
Bhaiyaji sends two kilos of mutton, fish, or chicken every day.
-He takes care of us all. -Bhaiyaji who?
Chandan Mahto. He's a very kindhearted person.
The one who escaped from prison?
Yes, who else? There's only one Chandan Mahto.
What kind of sin have you made me commit?
What else does he send here?
Sir, when we feel like drinking, he sends us liquor.
In his name.
We offer to pay him, but he won't accept any money.
And at the Hari Om Petrol Pump, he's made gas free for the police jeep.
From tomorrow,
nothing should come from him or any other goon to this station.
I don't care what happened before I arrived here.
I'm not interested to know either.
But this must stop now.
Open up your ears and listen, all this must stop from tomorrow.
We'll have to go to bed hungry tonight.
Police security was intensified as soon as the Bihar Assembly Elections
were announced.
Today, police carried out raids in various parts of Muzaffarpur.
-It is common for hate crimes to happen… -Let the motorcyclist go.
…during the Bihar Elections.
It may be challenging for the Bihar Police to conduct a peaceful election.
MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY
Stop.
Please come out of the car and open the trunk.
What are you doing?
Please come out and let us check you and your car. Come on.
Just because you're wearing a uniform, you think you can say anything?!
Is there no respect for a public representative?
Now, I have to let you search me, do I?
We're talking to you politely. Please come out and let us do our duty.
Why are you arguing with us, Mr. Politician?
And you, kill the engine and open the trunk.
SP Lodha… here. The Chief Minister wants to talk to you.
BIHAR LOK PARTY
Jai Hind, sir.
SP Lodha, Mr. Ujjiyar here.
Sir, we have recovered liquor, crores of rupees, and weapons here in Barikhet.
I'll do the paperwork and talk to you.
-He's the worker of my party-- -Jai Hind.
The bastard hung up the call.
Today, until the voting is over at 5:00 p.m.,
if anyone comes out of their homes…
they will be dead.
Did you all hear that?
Sir, I'm calling from Manikpur village. Chandan is attacking the village.
We've chopped down trees and blocked the roads.
Please hurry up.
Take it.
Bhaiya.
No matter what happens, we won't spare him.
Someone from Manikpur has betrayed me, Chyawanprash.
Let's run.
Run!
Bring him along.
Today, during the Bihar Elections,
many violent incidents broke out in Arrah, Begusarai, Munger, and Saharsa.
In another incident in Sheikhpura,
three workers of the Sattaru Party were shot dead.
Meanwhile, peaceful elections were conducted
in Patna, Muzaffarpur, Supaul, Madhepura, and Purnia.
SHO, Kasar Station.
Are you fond of taking flying arrows up your ass?
You're after me all the time.
Should I hunt you down like fowl?
Who is it?
You're new, that's why you don't recognize my voice.
Neither do you know the rules.
I'm telling you nicely, so you'd better understand.
You're here for a year or two.
But I'm going to be here till my last breath.
I have nowhere else to go.
I was here before you and will continue to be here after you.
I want you to return home safely…
not your corpse, the way it's shown in the video.
I'm warning you for the first and last time.
You'd better listen.
Mr. Chandan, a scared dog always barks.
If you're not a bastard, then let's meet face-to-face, then you can threaten me.
All right. Take this.
Stop that bastard! Stop him!
How dare he!
That's him! Catch him! Hey, stop!
Now, we were at war.
Going back from here was impossible for him or me.
We were targeting each other.
After a few days, we got intel about Chandan Mahto.
We were about to catch him,
but it was time for the election results.
The entire police department as well as Chandan Mahto's gang
were waiting for them.
And this is the very point from where I started telling you this story.
Jai Hind, sir. Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
-Jai Hind, sir. -Let him go and come back.
All the assumptions and predictions have failed.
This is an unexpected result.
Now, Mr. Sarvesh's win is almost confirmed.
-Jai Hind, sir. -You proved to be the smartest, Mr. Amit.
Everyone was eyeing the flow of the water above
but you were observing the movement below.
Mr. Sarvesh has won.
He'll make you the SSP of Patna after me.
Yes.
Because it was you who refused Mr. Ujjiyar
and became a hero in the eyes of Mr. Sarvesh.
Very good.
Congratulations.
What happened?
I don't understand this man.
He changes his side along with the tides.
SAMAJWADI PUBLIC PARTY
RAMJATAN VERMA
Congratulations.
Congratulations, brother. Many congratulations.
Congratulations to you too, Bhaiya.
Thank you so much.
-We also have a leader now. -Yeah, but where's Chyawanprash?
Meeta Devi lost, so he's a bit sad.
Dear.
Let's do something.
Let's go to Gaya for a few days.
I don't want to go anywhere!
You will feel better if we go somewhere else.
-I said no! -Hey!
For the first time in 20 years,
a peaceful election has been held in Muzaffarpur.
FELICITATION CEREMONY OF SP AMIT LODHA
BY: VIGILANT CITIZENS CLUB DISTRICT: MUZAFFARPUR
We want to congratulate SP Amit Lodha
for conducting such a peaceful election in Muzaffarpur.
Sir, you've been transferred.
To which district?
There's no district, you're being shunted.
He's one of the most loved police officers,
who has won everyone's hearts in Muzaffarpur.
Please give him a big round of applause.
PATALIPUTRA TRANSPORTATION SERVICE
All politicians love an honest officer,
but not in their government.
And believe me, a shunted officer and an old newspaper are the same.
Once, they were the breaking news,
and today, they're the stale news forgotten by all.
Is this the official residence?
Bihar Reserve Police Battalion exists only on papers.
They don't have an office, let alone an official residence.
It is what it is.
-Tanu. -Yes.
-Tanu! -Yes?
Can you call my phone?
I'm not getting any calls.
MUKTESHWAR CHAUBEY INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE
PATNA, BIHAR
I was never interested in these posts and all.
Whatever post I got, I accepted it as a challenge.
Now see, today, I was forcefully made the IG of Patna by Mr. Sarvesh.
He's the CM. I will have to listen to him, right?
I feel one should do their job with complete honesty.
Then, promotions and everything else will follow.
That's the rule.
-I'll be back. -Sure.
Sir, Jai Hind.
Sir, congratulations on your promotion.
I thought you wouldn't come, but you came.
-Sir-- -I'm glad.
This world is very strange, Amit.
You never know what will happen.
Now see, you were supposed to throw a party for your promotion,
but instead, I'm throwing a party.
Sir, you throwing this party is a pleasant surprise for us.
Sir, but how did this happen?
Weren't you closer to the last government?
Mr. Amit, an officer's life is not easy.
We have to balance ourselves on a thin rope like a top.
A little imbalance will make you fall. Now, look at you.
Yes, sir.
Sir, but you had a good image in front of Mr. Ujjiyar.
I have God's grace on me.
I didn't know that
Mr. Sarvesh's in-laws and my mom's family are from the same place.
I found out when I looked at his family details after he became the CM.
It's just not easy.
Everyone just sees this party…
but not the hard work behind it.
Yes, sir.
Sir…
Sir, I'm facing a problem.
I'm not able to get my son admitted to a good school,
and my salary has been withheld for the past two months.
If you could help me with that, I'd be really grateful to you.
So, that's the problem.
You should've told me. How much do you want?
What are you doing, sir?
I'm helping the needy.
How much do you need?
-1,000, 2,000, 2,500? -Sir.
Don't be shy, I'm like your elder brother.
Sir, I don't want money from you.
Just get me out of this banishment. Please.
Amit, I don't have that much power,
but I'll talk to the CM one day.
Okay? Have patience.
The time of crisis is like a test for a police officer.
Okay?
At the same time, my IIT book also came out
and there was some…
Some parts of reality, some truth is bitter.
But we've got to tell it. Sometimes, you have to rip off the Band-Aid and it hurts.
But I'm not here to win a popularity contest…
Amit knows Chetan Bhagat. He was his batchmate in IIT.
I see. You were in IIT?! How come you became an IPS?
I'm also thinking the same.
Why did we leave so early?
I was having a good time.
Tanu…
I talked to my friends.
They were telling me about the opportunities in the private sector.
Markets are also opening up.
Technically, I am still an engineer. I--
You want to leave IPS?
My career is going nowhere, Tanu.
Shunting is a part of the job, Amit.
Don't be so impatient.
My dad had to face the same.
It's just bad times which will pass.
There's always a morning after a long night.
It's very easy for you to say, Tanu.
And you won't understand.
I was running a district yesterday. Today, suddenly, I'm nothing.
Do you even know what I have to hear outside?
When the times are bad, everyone gives advice.
I don't want to hear the same things from you too, please!
And Tanu, you're my wife, so act like a wife.
Don't try to be a book by Shiv Khera.
Don't try to be a shop of fake positivity, please!
What's new for you?
You were a housewife yesterday, and you will be a housewife tomorrow.
But I don't know about myself.
This Manikpur officer is getting out of hand, Chandan Bhaiya.
He's sitting on our heads.
I heard, today, he had a meeting with Ravinder, the headman.
There's still time. We should teach him a lesson.
Today, he has stopped respecting you. Tomorrow, he'll piss on your head.
-Hello? -Congratulations, sir.
The biggest case of your life is going to happen in Manikpur.
-Stop me if you can. -Hey, Chandan, listen to me!
Shivram! Ramjatan!
Hello?
Sir, Prashant Gupta here from Dainik Hindustan.
What's happening in Manikpur?
We got some reports of disturbances.
What? I don't know. I've heard it just now.
I'm just heading there.
Hurry up.
POLICE
