- Let's go, guys.

Move it.

- He is more shameless than I.

You wretches!

I must teach this short guy

a lesson.

Oh, no! Stop..

The patient is conscious now.

It's a known fact that women

in our country smoke cigarettes.

But if I say that our country has

the second largest number of

female smokers globally

would you believe it?

Is it?

- Yes.

It's not just the heart and lungs

that get affected by smoking.

Smoking might cause

heart attack, brain stroke

breast cancer, cervical cancer..

That means womb cancer.

Smoking directly affects the womb

of the women smokers.

It's very disturbing

that we come across such cases.

Now, that's what happened

in Rita's case.

She didn't just suffer

a mild heart attack

her throat and lungs

are also affected due to smoking.

That means,

her body is at risk of cancer.

In case she's thinking

of committing suicide

she doesn't need to put

much effort into it.

She just needs to smoke

one cigarette a day.

She will be dead in a month.

We will certify it

as a natural death.

If you want her to survive

and be alive

she needs to stop smoking.

She must quit smoking completely.

That's your responsibility.

Mine?

- Yes.

Now, it's up to you.

O-Okay, ma'am.

Bring me all the lab reports.

- Okay, ma'am.

Miss, did you hear that?

When I asked you not to smoke

the other day

you mocked me

and called me a kid.

See what the doctor says now.

She says all you organs

are damaged pretty badly.

If you women, want to prove

that you are stronger than men

fly aeroplanes,

drive buses, trucks, auto rickshaws

and even ride horses.

Why do you compete in smoking?

You little kid!

Go and get me a smoke.

What did you say?

Hey, what do you think of me?

Do I look like a joker?

You want me to get a cigarette..

If you smoke one more cigarette

your photo will be garlanded

and people will light candles

in remembrance of you.

Be careful.

- Hey, who are you to say that?

Who the hell are you

to advise me, man?

All right.

Thanks for your help so far.

Give me your phone number

and leave.

I will pay you for your services.

Service charges!

Hey, what do you think of me?

I'm the head of All India's

'Dum Maro Dum'.

We are cleaning up

this smoke-filled country.

You be careful.

Take care of your health.

Don't annoy me.

Just get out.

Are you telling me to get out?

Bye!

Oh, my!

Why are you shouting in here?

It's a hospital. Lower your voice.

Take this prescription.

Get all the prescribed medicines.

All of them?

- Yes. - Okay, ma'am.

Also, get whatever

she was asking you.

Oh! If I get her what she wants,

you will land in the soup.

What?

- Yes.

That's why it's said men can't

understand women's problems.

Go and bring a female member

of your family. - Is it?

Miss, don't you have

any family members?

Get the medicine.

"God is the witness.."

"God is the witness.."

Boss..

- What?

I find a strange duo there.

Shall I catch hold of them?

Go ahead.

- Yes, boss.

Hey, catch hold of them

and bring them here.

"This gentle breeze.."

Whatever your problem is,

our boss can solve it.

Boss..

- Hold on, man.

Weren't you working as a pimp

at Kavitha Lodge.

No, sir. I was a peon

at Kanteerava Studio.

I'm retired now, sir.

I'm sorry. I'm mistaken.

- Tell your problem.

My boss will solve it.

Do you know who he is?

Hey, the whole world

knows about me. Wouldn't he know?

No, I don't know.

All right, let it be.

"I'll be there for you, baby."

Such a young and beautiful lady!

Since you have covered her face

and shielded her

from the sight of others..

That means,

no crook has set his sights on her.

What is your problem? Tell me.

Sir, she is my only daughter.

She is a precious girl.

- That's quite obvious.

She is 22 years old.

- Okay.

I have been trying hard

to get her married to

a handsome guy.

But I haven't succeeded yet..

Poor man.

Is this your problem?

Old man, if you don't mind

the caste difference

age disparity..

- Complexion..

...complexion,

or personal background

then I am ready

to marry your daughter.

Oh, my! Is he dead?

Hey, baldie!

What's wrong?

Oh, God! You are like God.

All right..

- Your are like God to me.

But there is a hitch.

Go and relieve yourself.

- Oh, my..

It isn't that.

- All right then..

Please don't mistake me.

I don't like grand weddings,

taking dowry

courting publicity et cetera.

Please don't plan such things.

Oh, my! In fact,

I can't do such things.

My daughter has

a minor health problem.

What is it?

She has night blindness.

After dusk,

her left eye goes blind.

Let me be known

as the magnanimous guy

who married a blind woman.

No problem.

Is there any other problem?

When she was a kid,

she suffered a head injury.

As a result,

she is deaf in her right ear.

It's all right.

Once we are married, we prefer

that wives don't hear anything.

No problem!

Is there any other problem?

Due to excessive air pollution

in Bangalore

she has got allergy, asthma,

cough, respiratory issues and flu.

Because of these problems,

she faints every now and then.

Are there any other problems?

She suffers from gastric problems

as a result of her dieting.

Also, she has ulcer,

piles and fistula.

In addition to this,

her knee is swollen

due to excessive accumulation

of fluids.

There are two nails

in her right leg.

Just two nails!

- Yes.

Except for these issues,

my daughter is a very fine lady.

You will never find a girl like her

anywhere in this world.

Son-in-law, you are lucky..

If you accept this

you can see my daughter's face.

Hey, old man.

My boss will definitely marry

your daughter.

Won't you, boss?

- Wait a minute.

Hail Mother India!

You wily old fox!

Your daughter's whole body

is infected

and damaged beyond repair.

You are infecting

this entire locality.

If you don't drink this poison

and die now

I will strangle both of you

to death.

Hey.. - He is crazy.

Let's find someone else.

You bloody scoundrel!

If I see you here again,

I will burn you both alive.

You sick rascals!

Boss, if you had married that girl

the would've become famous

throughout the world. - Come here.

You should've married her.

- Hey, oldie, bring your daughter.

He will marry her.

Dirty rogues!

Now this place is safe!

Hail Mother India!

Stop it!

What happened?

Please sit.

Please sit.

I-I need a cigarette.

My head is spinning.

Just one smoke, please..

Look, if you don't smoke

for one more hour

it will be five days

since your last smoke.

If there is a will, there is a way.

You can have whole world

at your fingertips.

You have strong willpower.

Give it a try.

No!

This is my life!

Cigarette is essential to my life

and my existence.

Don't take it away from me.

Just leave me alone.

I need to tell you something.

Millions of matchsticks can be made

from a tree.

But one matchstick

can burn down millions of trees.

This negative energy

is akin to a matchstick.

It will burn away all your dreams
