Now I know. Perhaps I was needed

here so that not just this kid..

..but all of us are

able to see Sultan.

Sultan.

- Begum, Delhi isn't far now.

Keep forging on.

Delhi isn't far now.

Keep forging on.

Delhi isn't far now.

Our courage says that

we'll stopover here.

I was mad and crazy.

I didn't realize my mistakes.

I have now accepted my mistakes.

We won't turn back now.

We'll just forge ahead.

This is what we have decided.

This is what. Just this.

Attack.

I will take a step.

And you follow me.

The caravan of love

is heading for Delhi.

I will take a step.

And you follow me.

The caravan of love

is heading for Delhi.

Here you are. Delhi has arrived.

And parliament.

Yes. Yes. But what do we do now?

It's impossible to get in.

I have a...

- I have.a plan.

Okay. You say. You first.

No. No. Go ahead.

You first.

- No. You first. - No way.

You first.

- No. Just say it.

You first.

- You first.

I am saying you first.

Oh shut up the two of you.

We'll miss the bus in

deciding who goes first.

Aunt, you must have a plan.

No.

- No! What?! You don't have a plan.

Oh God! What are we going to do?

We'll have to come up with something?

We'll have to come up with something?

It's not going to happen

that we open the truck's doors.

Step out on the street.

Create a racket.

And the media will come

rushing to us with their microphones.

And ask us. Hello, Mr. Bugsy,

why have you come here?

'Mr. Bagga, you are a genius.'

Move that car..

..out of the way.'

Animals. Animals.

Don't let them escape.

Hit them.

Hit them.

Hit them.

Yuvi!

Mummy!

Baj, today for the first time I feel

that you should also have a gun.

You are right, Toto.

I also feel only gun can do

the trick. And not talking.

Cover them.

Get to the side.

NDTV. CNN. The entire media is here.

The entire nation is watching us.

Alex, talk.

Go. Go. You were the only one missing.

What happened, Alex?

Why don't you say something?

Stage fright, dude. Give me a minute.

Stage fright. You?

Remember? You are an artist. Come on.

Look at them.

They have run away from the jungle.

They have woken up after

leaving the shade of trees behind.

They have come here

evading all troubles.

Risking their lives.

I am afraid they might get lost.

These animals on earth.

He has definitely

had some green chilies.

That's why he is singing

out of intoxication, brother.

'This is great. They have reached.'

'They have reached Delhi. Attention.'

I was cent percent confident.

Who gave them directions?

You.

I have lost my peace.

Get your eyes off me.

I have lost my peace.

Get your eyes off me.

These jungle creatures

are getting ruined now.

So that their hopes are

not dashed. Please come.

Please come. Please come.

My brother from the parliament.

Please come. Please come.

My brother from the parliament.

What the hell.

He sings great even when he is drunk.

Great!

He is still singing drunk, brother.

These are trained animals from circus.

Send him to lndian ldol.

A monkey who looks like Guru.

- Where?

On TV.

- That's no monkey.

That's Guru himself.

I had said that Guru will get there.

When did he say that?

- When you didn't hear.

Toto. Toto, what are you doing?

Remember Huggy Waggy.

To hell with your Huggy.

And to hell with your Buggy.

You are making fun of us.

People are making fun of us, Toto.

What are you doing?

- He is right, Alu.

Why are you weakening our

mission by putting on this act?

Guys. Guys.

You guys must first trust me.

If I had given a serious lecture..

..the people of lndia

would have disappeared.

Understood?

Enjoyed?

Hearing a parrot singing.

You laughed to your heart's content?

Everyone laughed at my singing.

But did anyone hear what I sang?

Did anyone realize how a parrot,

a monkey, a leopard, her cub..

..a bear reached

Delhi's parliament? And why?

What problem dragged them this far?

Or no one could stop

laughing to understand our pain.

So you tell us why you have come here?

I will tell you. But only when

someone from this parliament..

..who is capable enough and has

intentions of helping us shows up.

Right now the entire country wants..

..to know the story of these animals.

And there has been

a lot of commotion inside..

..the parliament house right now.

We are seeing that here is

chaos in the parliament.

Even the trust vote supposed to

happen today has been stopped.

I repeat. The trust

vote has been stopped.

Instead of watching the daily soaps..

..every mother-in-law

and daughter-in-law..

..are keeping a close eye on

these animals gathered outside..

..the parliament.

We have been here for many hours.

And we have been waiting

outside the parliament house..

..only to know whether someone

from the parliament is actually..

..going to hear these animals out.

- I have got breaking news.

It is rumored that

the prime minister himself..

..is coming out to hear these animals.

TADA and MODA had been

the topics of discussions until now.

But now a bear, a monkey,

two leopards and a parrot..

..are the talk of the town now.

Back up. Back up.

Tell me. Tell me what you have to say.

Talk, Alex. Talk.

Convey our message to every human.

We've come here to tell you that...

That every human's life is in danger.

Crores of animals are going to

attack your homes and families.

What is he saying!

Your house, your family and your

life. Everything will be finished.

We will kill everyone one by one.

Now a war will ensue that will

wipe out the human race. - Oh my God.

Kill. Kill them. Kill them.

Shocked? Got angry? Got

scared for your lives.

For your homes. For your own.

Perhaps you must've realized a

little what we have been through.

Because we aren't attacking

you but you are attacking us.

Not since today. But since ages.

With guns, bulldozers. With pollution.

By cutting down jungles.

By killing animals.

You have dogs, parrots

or cats as pets so..

..that you can play with them.

But kill crores of

animals for their teeth..

..skin and various other parts.

Isn't our home a home?

Aren't our children dear to us?

Is our life worthless?

What is this fault of this cub?

That his father was killed.

The age at which he should

be laughing and playing..

..he gathered all of us and

brought us to Delhi to save his home.

So that we can plead to

humans for our friends and jungle.

But when we reached here,

we were welcomed with guns.

With shouts of Kill them.

Kill them.

We have come from jungle.

But you humans are animals..

..whose first reaction

to anything is action.

When we left home

Delhi was very far away.

But all of us didn't come to

Delhi this far just for reaching it.

But we came to reach to your hearts.

And if we've managed to

reach there even slightly..

..then stop deforestation.

Stop fighting.

Today together let's wage

a war against war. Against hatred.

Not just for one single jungle.

But for the entire world.

Attack. Attack.

Attack.

Attack.

Attack.
