Your antique collection is really nice.

Please, come.

I have heard a lot about him.

The Rajputs owe their glory to him,

which was difficult

to achieve without him.

He gave the British sleepless nights

until his last breath.

Everyone knows him.

Well, our name and identity

is only limited to this city.

Whereas your family

is running the country.

Are you not going to show me?

I guess you have a keen interest

in my family.

Not just your family...

This bed is the center point of the city.

My father wanted his bed to be in a place

where he could hear the city's heartbeat.

Who sleeps on this bed now?

What happened?

Are you scared?

I was only trying to say

that there are no men left

in your family anymore.

What will a Princess do on this bed alone?

This sword belongs to my grandmother.

If I swing it four inches up or down,

there won't be any men left

in your family either.

- It's a very big party.

- Everything has been planned

- according to the queen's preference.

- Sir is here.

Your Highness, do you...

Sir, even though you

have many parties, something

- is different about this one.

- Shut up!

All these people who are celebrating

this day with her...

Once I'm through with her,

no one will even greet her.

I will write the last chapter

of Gitanjali's history.

My dear brothers and sisters.

The President has declared Emergency.

There is no need to panic.

Gitanjali Devi, arrested!

That should be the headline

of every newspaper tomorrow.

It's not an easy task to arrest Gitanjali.

Rudra, power is the first thing you

will lose during Emergency!

But sir, if we want

to arrest Gitanjali Devi

then, we will need a reason

as strong as Gitanjali Devi.

But we do...

We do have a reason.

The reason is that gold, that treasure

that she hid from the Indian Government

even after Privy Purses was abolished.

I rule this country now.

I want that treasure.

Arrest her. Threaten her.

Kill her. I don't care!

Use any means necessary.

Pardon me, sir, but Gitanjali Devi

is not easily intimidated.

Try to understand, Rudra.

You'll get to keep your job.

Maybe even get promoted,

and have a life, too...

And it's all connected to this treasure.

Do you understand?

Your Highness, one of the players

from our region

has been selected for the National team.

You should meet him.

What's the point?

There's an Emergency.

Newspapers won't publish anything.

And maybe by then,

this Emergency will be over.

We will meet him after that.

These are government orders.

The wealth that you have been hiding

from the government,

it's time for you to hand it over.

Where is it hidden?

Search the place.

Look everywhere.

Who sleeps on this bed now?

Sir, we didn't find anything.

You should have some tea, officer.

What will you do if you find the treasure?

Give it to the poor?

You know very well

that they only want my treasure

to fill their own pockets.

Sir.

Prepare the headlines for tomorrow.

Gitanjali Devi arrested.

Pardon me, Your Highness

for sending dinner

without taking your order.

This is all we had on our menu.

Please eat, your highness.

Do you see him?

He is just as dangerous

as the other prisoners.

The only difference is his cap and badge.

Should I send him inside?

Warden Dilip Singh.

1,500Rs per month.

You have three daughters.

One is still unmarried.

Your wife works at the Chaudhary's manor.

She has opened an account

without your knowledge,

where she's saving money for the dowry.

You have all the information about me.

I know everything

about everyone in my city.

Where, what, and how much.

You can stop worrying

about me, Your Highness

and think about yourself.

Who and how many will come to rescue you?

One is good enough.

And when he arrives you will be left

without your cap and badge.

Your slogans should be loud enough

to shake the very foundation

of their Station.

- We're poor but we're not animals.

- We're poor but we're not animals.

Tear Gas!

If we don't get food,

we will fill the prisons up.

Hey!

Sir.

What is your name?

Didn't you hear?

Tell him your name.

What is this?

"Name:
Bhawani Singh."

"Address:
It's useless to you."

"Age:
Does it matter?"

"Profession:

Good or bad, I excel in both."

Bhawani Singh,

from statuary warning to expiry date.

- Live...

- Lived life King-size!

What is this?

Life lasts just for four days.

And today is the fourth, sir.

That's the way I have lived it.

I have already made my arrangements.

In case I die, this will come in handy

as an obituary for the papers.

- I always carry this with me.

- I see.

So, you have a death wish!

Why don't we fulfill your wish, then?

Beat him.

Don't you dare touch me!

Who knows what you guys

have touched before this?

You want to beat me, don't you?

Yes.

- How?

- What?

What the...

- Are you crazy?

- Like this?

Or like this?

Or like this?

How long am I going to stay here?

One or two days, what else?

One or two days, is that all?

Half the country is locked up in jail.

Thousands of fanatics like you

are roaming the streets, carrying a flag.

But just a couple of days?

- Even I have a reputation to keep.

- Are you a king of some sort?

If you were, then it will be

a long-term sentence like Gitanjali Devi.

Is she here, too?

She was a Queen in her palace.

Now, she's in the ranks of a tutor

who keeps narrating

Mahabharata to everyone.

Don't go near her.

That's exactly what I have come here for.

It's time to perform the final rites.

Whether Princess Gitanjali arrives, or...

Guards, attention!

High Angle!

One round!

The king is dead.

And looking at the Princess' behavior,

I don't think she will be able

to handle the empire.

She's a misfit from head to toe

and we are not used to her modern ways.

Bhawani.

The Princess is calling you.

People are commenting behind my back

about my clothes, my friends...

I am sure you have heard.

Do you have the same opinion about me?

- That's not it.

- Then what is it, Bhawani?

Did I make a mistake?

No, let your enemies make mistakes.

I am surrounded by enemies!

And you're leaving me alone amongst them.

I thought you don't need me.

My father, the king, once said to me.

"There's only one man in this palace

that I can trust."

From now on,

you will stay with me all the time.

Like how you used to stay with the king.

As my personal security in-charge.

But, don't ever break my trust.

Trust me.

Loyalty runs in my blood.

A promise and a life

can only be given once.

From now on, they are both yours.

It's late and you didn't tell anyone.

Where are you going?

Give me the keys.

I won't give them

unless I know the reason.

Everything is over now

that the king is dead.

Our Privy Purse is finished!

And I'm left with nothing.

Our population is 1.2 million.

Who will look after them?

The government?

I don't want to live.

I don't want to live like a fake queen!

Give me the keys to the jeep.

Get in the jeep.

Who do you think you are?
