Dev Pratap Singh...
You are accused of
use of excessive force...
against the students of RM College
Do You agree?
- No Sir
I believe, in the situation
I did what I considered right
DCP Dev... the reason
for Your decision to use a firearm?
When I reached the college
with the police partY...
Down with Principal Dixit!
Down with Principal Dixit!
TheY had barricaded the principal
in his office
Long Live Students' Union!
- The police are here!
Stop the Police!
Block their path!
Did You trY to talk to the students
and resolve the situation?
Down! Down!
Down with the police
and the administration!
TheY were not willing
to listen to reason
We'll not budge from here!
Police... go back! Go back!
Did You follow procedure and fire
a warning shot in the air?
Do not take the Law into Your hands!
- What Law?!
We know the Law!
Go back...
and leave the law to our care
We know how to preserve the law
and where to keep it...
Want to see?
Here!
This is where we keep
Your precious Law
I felt an immediate and
decisive action was required
Did You know the student
was from the minoritY communitY?
No. For me a man
is guiltY or innocent
His being Muslim or Hindu would have
had no bearing on mY action
Because I believe the uniform
must be respected
A senior Officer cannot be
insulted publiclY in this manner
The AuthoritY of the force
must be upheld at anY cost
Otherwise, a hundred bullets
will not be enough to protect the Law
ReallY? I'm coming
HeY, no crYing
Here...
Welcome, mY little prince
Bharati, Dev... manY congrats
and thanks... for gifting me a son
He is in mY arms, so he is mine
You maY have alreadY thought of one,
but I will keep his name
HeY, careful...
think of a good one
It will be one from the heart
Armaan
Armaan...?
Armaan... it's nice
Armaan Pratap Singh...?
So be it
So Mr Armaan...
this tall minaret
before You...
You will call Papa, etc...
but me, You will call Uncle DaddY
What is this Uncle DaddY?
Don't confuse him alreadY.
- He won't be confused
Listen Mr Armaan, mY rank
is a bit higher than this papa
"What good is it
reading the Gita...?"
"What good is it
reading the Koran?"
"It's love..."
"that teaches
us about Him"
"In the hues of the beloved,
let me colour mY scarf"
Where're You coming from?
- From Baroda
Where're You going?
- Mumbai
Name?
- Farhaan
Farhaan what?
- Farhaan Ali
AnY luggage?
Check it
BY the waY, what were You doing
in Gujarat... I mean Baroda?
StudYing law
What is this?
- Letter
In Urdu?
Where is it from? Pakistan?
You have friends or relatives there?
The letter's from mY father in Mumbai
What if I did have someone
in Pakistan?
Then Farhaan 'MiYa' we would have
made You our guest...
and looked after You well
Just kidding
"I shall drape You, I shall
wear You, I shall laY You out"
"I shall sing with You
in mY breath"
"I am not going to
stop pursuing You"
FiftY bucks
AaliYa!
AaliYa!
HurrY up!
How long You take?
Farhaan is here
Greetings
Take a seat... please
I gave You the trouble
of coming here...
because the issue
is of utmost importance
We suspect...
religious fanaticism is being
perpetrated through Your 'Madarsas'
The students are being instigated
to violence against the countrY
This is a serious accusation
JCP Dev saheb
But what I saY is not unfounded
Don't You have teachers and students
from other countries in Your schools?
Sure we do...
but theY come under
education exchange programmes
Perhaps You are unaware that...
several people come here
on tourist visas...
and then conduct
anti-national propaganda here
Which is a serious offence
under the Foreigners Act
Go on... target us
People of other religions
have the right to do what theY want
But if we teach our children
about our religion...
culture and identitY,
it's a crime, right?
Mr Qureshi, I have before me
the issue of national securitY
Do not give it communal colour
Dev saheb, as a representative
of the minoritY communitY...
I will saY, Your words
reek of communal bias
It is a simple matter, Mr Latif
WhY are You dragging
minoritY politics into it?
I want three things from You.
One...
report to us full details
about anYone from abroad...
who joins Your schools
to teach or learn
Two, send us a full account...
of the funding sources
of Your organizations
Three, inform us at once...
if You come across anYone spreading
terror in the name of Your religion
Ali saheb...?
- Yes...
If that's what the government wants,
But I'd like to add something
Terrorism has to do with politics,
not with our religion...
or with anY other religion.
- Thank You
Dev saheb, with this attitude...
You have pointed a finger
at our entire communitY
Perhaps You have no idea
of the consequences
GoodbYe
- GoodbYe
Farhaan...?
- I'm here, father
When did You come?
- Around 10. Where were You?
The police summoned us.
- The police?
So now it is believed
that everY Urdu institution...
breeds fierce terrorists...
and everY Muslim is a traitor
to his countrY
What's so surprising
about it, father?
Our people have been
facing this bias for ages
Farhaan, unfortunatelY there
have been some cases like this
Look at the state of the countrY...
militancY at the borders
The air of insecuritY all over
The police have to be alert
TheY are just taking precautions
Is this caution? Or another waY
to disenfranchise Muslims, father?
Son, don't jump to conclusions
Look, You have done Your LLB.
Now start Your law practice soon
I feel I've wasted five Years
studYing law, father
Here the law is trifled with
WhY are You so disillusioned?
Look, You will see the soul
of the nation here...
in Gandhi and Gaffar,
in these books...
in the tenets of non-violence
and brotherhood
Farhaan this is our countrY
Yes, it belongs to the Hindu
as much as it does to the Muslim...
the Sikh, the Christian
and the Parsi
Father, the romanticism of
Hindu-Muslim brotherhood is dead
The philosophY
of Gandhi and Gaffar...
that You have been teaching me
for Years... is meaningless now
Their era has passed
We are being crushed to remind us
who this countrY belongs to
Farhaan!
- Father, this is the truth
And You know it
Karim Khan... alias Karim Gunner
Sir, he belongs to Latif's partY
Smuggler of bombs and weapons
Intelligence report has confirmed
he will visit his familY...
at Noor Manzil after midnight...
Get him
And this time, he must not escape
Oh, Farhaan loves You so much
If he had written it himself
then I would believe
Sweetie, don't act priceY.
You have captured a gem
Don't side with him
The fellow comes after six months...
hands over a book and walks off
You call that capture?
He's chosen it for You
Each page has a lovelY thought
What?
- WhY... You don't like the book!
Show me
Oh, that someone wrote this for me
Here, show me.
- I won't! Get lost!
Where is it?
- Now keep searching
