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!

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
