practical?

That's what you want to say, right?

No, aniruddha. For me,

these are not mistakes.

These are my principles.

And i believe in them.

So, know this, once and for all...

this is how i am.

I don't have any

intention of changing myself.

And, my family knows this.

Thank you.

What's happened to you, dad?

How can you insult aniruddha uncle

like this and drive him out?

You heard what he said?

So, what was wrong with that?

He didn't say anything wrong!

For you, your principles are everything.

That's it.

Do you ever think about

how your family lives?

That your daughter has to

endure taunts everyday in college...

because of your

headline-grabbing statements?

Does all this make any difference to you?

What is this you're saying, poorbi?

What's gotten into you all of a sudden?

Nothing has happened suddenly, mom.

We've always done

what dad wanted - without question.

It didn't take me a second

to break off with deepak...

because he had hurt dad.

I lost sushant... i lost all my friends.

But, ask him if he ever bothered

to find out what i want?

I couldn't get into medicine because

dad wouldn't allow me one grace mark.

One grace mark!!

Why?

Because i'm the great

prabhakar anand's daughter.

So, i will have to reap the fruits

of his principles.

You will not speak to your father like this.

Never!

You're also suffering, mom.

Otherwise you wouldn't be

in this hotel room...

while someone else is having fun in your house

because your husband donated it to him.

Enough!

Just shut up.

You've said enough.

Now, not another word from you!

I don't know of any person

who is better than your father.

In a world filled with cowards,

he's a real hero.

No matter what he says or does...

i will always stand by him!

Without any question.

And, as long as you live with us,

you too will have to do the same.

Without any question.

Get it?

I hate my life!

I've gone over your... proposal, deepak.

Interesting.

I'm lucky to have you as a guide, sir.

Dr. Prabhakar anand says,

you are the best in applied mathematics.

He's a fine man.

A great scholar.

I think, i'll email him right away.

What's this?

Do you know anything about this?

Hello...

hello?

Hello poorbi?

It's me, deepak.

Hello? Can you hear me?

Poorbi, it's me... deepak.

Yes, how are you?

How are you people? How is sir?

I read on the net that...

yes, everything is fine here.

Dad has taken voluntary retirement.

Retirement?

Poorbi, is everything okay?

Tell me the truth, please...

yes, everything is fine. And you?

I'm not okay at all.

Poorbi, since i left home,

i've been cursing myself.

I just failed to understand him.

I behaved so badly with him.

How much i hurt him!

I wasn't in my senses, poorbi.

I feel so guilty.

Poorbi, i want to apologise to him.

Poorbi, please.

I want to talk to him.

He's fine.

Deepak, i'll speak with you later, ok?

Poorbi, please!

Here, hand me the plate.

And that too.

You're back, my dear?

Come.

See, i called for your favourite food.

Curry tempered with cumin seeds

and missi roti.

This is potato...

i'm sorry, dad.

I'm really sorry.

I hurt you so much.

I was scared.

Very scared.

Dad?

Yes, my dear?

I'm starving.

It's very important.

I need to see the honourable secretary.

He isn't here right now.

What is it?

The intimation for my scholarship

hasn't reached padmavati institute yet.

And, the deadline for admissions is 4 p.m.

What is your name?

Pandit dinanath upadhyay.

But, your name isn't in this list.

Sorry?

That's impossible!

My name was there... at the top.

Prabhakar sir had personally

recommended my name. Please check...

which prabhakar sir?

The ex-principal of s.t. M?

Yes, yes...

go tell him...

to get you admitted

through some reserved quota.

We don't waste our scholarships on

the recommendations of people like him.

Please do forgive me.

I wasn't acquainted with

your current circumstances.

Else, i would never have come

in your presence with my difficulty.

Wait, pandit.

You did the right thing.

You...

you... just wait.

An entire year of this child

will be wasted.

And, more than that,

he'll completely break.

It's because of me that

those people cancelled his scholarship.

Hurry up, prabhakar.

If he doesn't reach on time,

his admission will lapse.

You... i...

please don't...

young man, do not delay even a bit.

Go directly there, and conclude

the admission process.

Yes, sir.

All my wishes have come true, it seems.

Without a moment's hesitation,

he handed me the cheque.

With just a balance of three minutes,

i made it to the admission-window.

Never will i be able to repay his debt.

Please take one...

congratulations.

All my best... er...

auspicious wishes?

Yeah... auspicious wishes.

Please sit.

Bring two coffees, please.

Poorbi...

i cannot tell you how sorry i am.

I failed to understand sir.

Have you spoken with deepak?

I didn't tell him anything.

Didn't want him to worry.

I want to meet sir.

I would really like to help.

Thanks. But right now,

he doesn't want to meet anyone.

There was no need to leave

your college in america and come back for this!

You could've just called me.

How dare mithilesh singh do this to prabhakar,

the messiah of the poor!

Hey luttan!

Call up the college.

Don't you worry.

The backward caste

holds him in very high regard.

If need be, we'll all

land up there in a demonstration.

Hello...

it's the principal on line, big brother.

Hello?

Greetings, mr. Leader.

I'm going to greet you alright.

When did you leave

teaching and begin bullying?

I'm sorry... i don't understand.

I can come there and explain!

Look here, if prabhakar sir's house

isn't vacated in 24 hours...

i will hang your photograph on

the wall with a garland around it.

Why don't you hear me out once...

there's nothing to be heard!

Sure, but why don't

you at least come here...

take it as vacated!

Please do come, mr. Bishambhar das.

You are welcome.

You can drop the welcomes,

mithilesh singh.

And drop your bullying,

and get out of our man's house.

You're absolutely right,

bishambhar das.

Now, he has become 'your' man...

dr. Prabhakar anand.

Oh... baburamji, you?

Lovely!

You get his cottage vacated,

he'll get your elected seat vacated!

Seat?! What are you saying?

What else?

You plough the land of backward caste politics,

he will harvest the gains!

You turned out to be even

more foolish than i realized.

Can't see through his game, can you?

By making just one statement

in support of reservation...

he has sidelined all of you.

Now watch how he becomes

the leader of the backward castes.

Leader? How will be become

the leader of the backward castes?

With the help of your retarded brain.

Go on, support him... do it.

Support?

Why should i support him?

You won't understand.

He's not a good man.

Thank you.

I get it.

Stop!

What is it?

I want you out of here!

Vacate the house? Now!

Vacate this house?
