assured, we will crack this soon.

Sir, I just hope

nothing will happen to me.

C'mon! You are a hero.

Does anything ever happen

to our heroes in our films?

Sometimes it does.

Just in case anything

happens to you then...

...I assure you that

we will not spare them.

Sir, what are you...?

Relax! Go to work.

Nothing will happen to you.

Thank you sir. Thank you very much.

- It is okay.

My brother. My brother.

Thank you! Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

- Yeah, mention not.

These are our heroes. One phone

call and he gets a stomach ache.

Some kids from Shanti nagar

are playing a prank on him.

Patwardhan knows them.

Ask him to stop them or else he

will be wasting our time needlessly.

Right sir.

Shambu, who is

responsible for this incident?

I feel they did a good job by

putting up an electric pole.

But they should not

have dug this hole.

The government should

think twice before digging...

...that a common man like me

can fall into this pothole.

Look around! Today there

are potholes everywhere.

I mean are there potholes in the

city or this city is in potholes?

This government should take

responsibility for these potholes.

So what do you feel? Why does

the government do such things?

The government likes to dig.

So this was Mr. Shambu a. K.a.

Electric man who...

...has given Death

itself a very big shock.

This is Naina Roy with

cameraman Raj for UTV news.

Sir... Sir, why are you hitting me?

Sir, why are you hitting me?

Yes, tell me!

- Don't get annoyed but...

...I just found out

that I don't have...

...Some ingredients to

make the rice pudding.

You know very well

Ishaan loves rice pudding.

While coming home bring

some almonds, raisins...

All right I will

bring all those things.

Don't forget to buy those tomatoes.

- No I won't.

I am sorry. Are you angry with me?

Just a bit. But then, I have the

whole city to vent it out.

When will you come back?

- Around 7 o'clock.

Come back and we'll talk.

- Yes.

The government should

think twice before digging...

...that a common man like me

can fall into this pothole.

Look around! Today there

are potholes everywhere.

I mean are there potholes in the

city or this city is in potholes?

This government should take

responsibility for these potholes.

Sir, please forgive me.

Hello.

- Is it Commissioner Prakash Rathod?

Who's this?

Mr. Rathod, don't

interrupt and just listen.

I have planted bombs at 5

different locations in the city.

All these bombs will

explode at 6.30 pm.

But this can be avoided.

I will call you up 30 minutes later...

...with my demands and I want to talk

or negotiate with only one person.

Until then you can

decide on that person.

Hello!

Find out who had called on

my mobile just a while back.

Jai, where is the chief minister?

Hello.

- Miss Naina Roy?

Yes, who is this?

It doesn't matter.

I just wanted to ask you...

...whether you are

interested in some serious news.

What? Is this some kind...

- Just answer me Naina.

This is big. Are you interested?

Yes or no?

Yes. - Then come to the Mumbai Police

headquarters with your cameraman.

This is going to be the most

important day in your life.

I will call you again.

Raj!

I know this is an unknown number.

Keep trying. I want to know

that number within 5 minutes.

And ask Khatri to tap my

mobile phone immediately. Okay.

Yes Tiwari, I am putting

him on the line. Right away.

Sir, it's Tiwari.

Mr. Tiwari!

- Yes, Mr. Prakash, tell me.

Where is the CM?

He is in Bandra to

attend an important meeting.

Put Mr. Patil on the line.

Mr. Patil is also in a meeting.

Tell me, what is the matter?

It is a very minor thing.

I cannot bother you with it.

Put Patil on the line.

Sir, I hope you understood.

Sir, he wants to talk to you.

Excuse me.

- Okay.

Yes, Mr. Prakash.

I don't know how but come to

my office within 15 minutes.

But... - Within 15 minutes.

It's an emergency.

Jai, tell Chouhan, Ramesh and

Aakash to come into the WAR Room.

Right sir.

Sir. It is a prepaid mobile number.

It is registered to

one Jignesh Sheth.

He lives in Malad. I have

informed Malad police station.

This number is

unreachable right now. - Okay.

Attention guys!

This matter should not

get out of this room.

Does anyone of you want to

call anybody or warn anyone?

No sir!

We have just 4 hours left.

Chouhan, talk to Abbas at intelligence

and find out what they have.

Tell them you need this

information for verification.

Yes sir!

Vatkar, find out from

our sources whether...

...there has been any

movement in any terrorist module.

Get me any information on explosives

being taken in and out of the city.

Get in touch with your informers.

Right sir.

Aakash, we need to trace

the call the next time.

Put your best men on the job.

Yes sir!

Mr. Rathod, how are you?

- I am fine. And you?

Fine. Tell me.

Just a while back I received

a call on my cell phone.

One man...

Oh god. Excuse me.

It could also be a crank call.

We can't take any chances.

Where is the CM?

He is on his way.

Hello!

Yes, Mr. Rathod. Who

is going to talk to me?

Mr. Roy. He will be here soon.

Until then you can talk to me.

I will only talk to the person who

has the authority to take decisions.

I will call you

again in five minutes.

By the way let me remind you

that you are wasting your own time.

Take my advice. You

shouldn't buy time on this.

Too short to trace. But this is not

the same number as the previous one.

Excuse me sir.

There was a call from

Malad police station.

Nobody named Jignesh

Sheth lives at that address.

Do one thing, tell Solanki to

alert all the police stations.

Sir, the CM is on the line.

Good afternoon, sir.

- Good afternoon.

Who is this Roy?

- Nobody.

Who is negotiating

with him from our side?

Sir, you will. We will patch

his call to you from here.

Why? - Because you have the authority

and you know how to negotiate.

There is a lot of difference between

giving a Speech and Negotiating.

This is not a political rally.

What about Patil or Tiwari?

Oh my God!

Prakash, I have never seen you

running away from responsibility.

There is a reason for it.

If this man is telling the

truth then to stop him...

...we require a person

with unlimited authority.

There shouldn't be any

red tape or protocol.

He would need absolute

and complete freedom.

He should not be

questioned about anything.

And I know that this is

not possible and that's why...

...I was running away

from responsibility Sir.

Patil, this operation will

be headed by Prakash Rathod.

I don't want any complaints

from him. Do you understand?

I'll be there soon.

Yes, sir. Should we

inform the center?

This is our problem and we

have to solve it. - Okay sir.

Come on guys, back

to work, everyone.

Excuse me.

- Yeah.

Hello.

- Mr. Rathod?

Mr. Roy won't be here.

I will negotiate instead of him.

How can he come there

if he doesn't exist?

What do you want?
