Synopsis: Bhoothnath Returns takes Bhoothnath's story forward. As he returns to 'Bhoot World' he is greeted with taunts and condemnation from other ghosts for bringing disrepute to the ghost-community for getting bullied by a kid on Earth.

I'll call for tea.

You'll be settled

for life after this job.

Then I'll go back.

Do you have to go back?

I will have to go.

I'm not a very emotional person

but I'll miss you.

I too, will miss you.

I've seen many people who've

sold themselves for money.

But this is the first time

I'm seeing a ghost doing that.

Well done.

How much money is Bhau

giving you to get rid of me?

How much?

20 lakh rupees.

And do you know how much

money are those people getting.

..from whom this land was

snatched to make this building?

Zero.

Look, we didn't know

anything about it.

What do you know?

You helped few spirits cross over

Made a few corrupt

officers fall in line

And you think you have

made this world a better place!

Do you think this.

...building's problem will

get solved once you get rid of me?

How will you get rid of them?

They.

All of them.

Those who didn't

vacate their houses.

"their houses were burnt down..

..those who didn't sell themselves,

their deaths were bought.

..and people like me, who tried

to raise their voice, were silenced.

And no one did anything?

What can anyone do?

This cancer is not restricted

to one part of the country.

It has spread all

across the country.

If you cure the

cancer in Dombiva|i..

..then what about Kandivali?

What about Dadar?

Will you cure the whole of Mumbai?

What about Delhi?

What about Ludhiana?

Ranchi, Rotak, Jabalpur,

Patna, Surat.

From where all will

you get rid of the cancer?

And how much cancer

will you get rid of?

On one hand those who can change this

are just twiddling their thumbs.

On the other, people like Bhau..

..have themselves become cancer

and are ruining the country.

And people like me,

who raise their voices, are killed.

It makes it to the

newspaper headline..

...and the next day

everything becomes normal.

People are sleeping.

This country is dying.

Let it die.

Don't make a business

out of someone's death.

If it had happened to you then...

Go away from here.

Whether anyone does

something or not.

...I won't let any building

stand over here.

Leave!

Am I smiling right?

Yes, Bhau.

- Okay. Good.

Now take one in this pose.

Now this pose.

One more. Click one more.

- Yes.

This.. this is a famous pose.

Click it. click it

Bhau?

That building boy is here.

He says he can't do the job.

Why? What happened?

- He says it's not his cup of tea.

Send him in.

Akhrot.

- You move aside.

Come here.

Akhrot, come here.

What happened?

- I cannot do it.

What?

- I can't.

Did anyone say anything?

You need more money?

Tell me!

I told you, I cannot do it!

Hey, you cannot afford

to say no to me.

You are lucky the elections

are around the corner.

Otherwise I'd chop you and

throw you in the same gutter.

..that you came from.

Now quietly get

the building vacated.

You have time only

until the elections.

Got it?

You only have time

until the elections.

Go.

Go!

At least let me smile.

Bhau held me by my collar

and you didn't do a thing.

is this our friendship?

Then what should have I done?

What should have I done?

Today Bhau has held you by your

collar tomorrow someone else will.

From whom all will I save you?

Didn't you hear

what that ghost said?

This country is full

of people like Bhau.

Then raise the fear

of good in them as well.

People like Bhau don't fear good

They only fear loss of power.

Then Bhau cannot be scared.

He has very easily won

the past three elections.

Why didn't any good

candidate stand against him?

They did.

Some took the bullet.

Some took the money.

It's a tradition of our country.

Yes.

There must be someone.

A good candidate who can

stand against Bhau this time.

There must be someone.

Why don't you?

You are good.

And no one can kill you either.

What do you think?

Very bad idea.

Why? Because it is not your idea,

it is bad?

Don't behave like a kid

I am a kid.

A dead person can't

contest elections.

How can he?

ls there such a rule?

- Then what!

What strange rules our country has.

You find one good person

with great difficulty.

And they have a problem

with that also.

This is what we call

democracy, kiddo.

Who's crazy?

Let it be.

You still haven't slept?

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking what will

happen to our country.

Those who need to

think are sleeping.

You too should go to sleep.

Please contest in the elections.

Your tape recorder has started again

I told you, a ghost cannot

contest for elections.

Look..

...I know a failed lawyer.

Let's check with him.

It doesn't cost us to ask.

Come on.

Let's go.

- Yes.

What are you saying?

I should shut down my

factory and open a bangle shop?

Or you want me to consume

iron and commit suicide.

Now get back to work

He..

- You work for me.

He's a lawyer?

- Now go and get it again.

He was.

Law has no place for

a nice people like him.

I hope he is not faint-headed.

Who are you lying to?

Here, have some tea and go home.

Look Gabdi, you know I don't lie.

You mean to say that there

is a ghost in my factory?

Yes.

Crazy.

Who..

Who is he?

How are you, Mr. Gabdi?

He took my name?

I asked, how are you?

Sir, I am absolutely

fine with your grace.

How can I help you?

I needed a legal advice.

I understand, sir.

Old Indian problem.

A person's life comes to

an end but his case never ends.

Don't drag this like a court case.

Just answer my question.

That too in short.

Tell us..

..what kind of a person can

contest the Lok Sabha elections?

Why?

Don't ask questions, just answer.

According to the rule book, sir..

..the candidate should

be an Indian citizen.

He is.

But who is contesting?

Continue.

He should be at least 25 years old.

25..

He is.

No criminal record.

No. Not at all.

He should be mentally sound.

He is.

That's all.

- That's all?

That's all. - No educational

qualification is required?

What education qualification?

A degree in what?

That means a person who isn't

even eligible to get a clerk's job..

..can actually run our country.

What can one do?

This is India. Hail India.

Anything else?

Yes, one last question.

What?

- The one contesting.

The one who is contesting

in the elections.

Yes.

..does he need to be alive?

No. No, no.

It's not said so in any rule book.

In any book whatsoever.

No.

Thank you.

Akhrot. .

Akhrot. .

Hey, come on, man.

At least hear me out.

No, I don't want to hear anything.

Think about it.

You asked me to come

with you to a lawyer. I came

Now I won't get into

the mess of elections.

I won't be contesting

in any elections.

Look, it's not fair

for such people to win.

You are only thinking

about yourself.

Think about our country as well.

Look, what state our country is in.

"Lord, keep an eye."

"Almighty, keep an eye."

"Lord, keep an eye."

"Almighty, keep an eye."

"May everyone get your

blessings and grace."

"Be concerned about everyone."

"Lord, keep an eye."

"Almighty, keep an eye."

"No man should ever endure slavery."
