Dev Page #3

Synopsis: Joint Commissioner of Police Dev Pratap Singh, a duty-bound, self-righteous officer, and Special Commissioner Tejinder Khosla, the balancing force between the political interests of Chief Minister Bhandarker and Dev's commitment to the law, are lifelong friends, each with his own ideals. Farhaan, a law graduate, was brought up with ideals of non-violence and patriotism. Dev unwittingly gives Farhaan the wound that plunges him into rage and violence after witnessing the death of his father during a peace demonstration. Taking advantage of the situation, corrupt politician Latif sets the vulnerable young man on a path of violence and destruction that threatens to ignite the city. Aalyn is the light in Farhaan's life. Beautiful and innocent, the young woman also gets caught in extraordinary circumstances that transform her life and she dares to stand up for the truth.

Now I hear You are

considering someone else?

What are You saYing Latif?

You react to a little rumour...

In politics, rumours are a weapon

Like these marches that You organise?

CarrY a small request to the CM

That, if he does not keep his

promise of giving me an MLA seat...

then mY communitY

will be badlY shaken

And in that situation, it will be

tough to control their emotions

Threat, eh?

No. Just a reminder

of Your promise

Good evening, madam.

- Good evening

What's up? How was Your daY?

Tej!

What a pleasant surprise!

In Mumbai suddenlY?

- WhY? Do You mind?

Not at all! But straight from Nagpur

to Mumbai? How did You swing it?

No swinging... here bY

a special invitation from Your CM

You mean Mr Bhandarkar

got You transferred here himself?

Yes, sir. You forget perhaps that

the Home MinistrY...

is also under the CM.

- So what have You got?

Law and Order.

- Not bad. When do You take charge?

The daY after.

- Tej has come after two Years...

forget celebration, You start

Your interrogation right awaY!

It's an old habit of his.

- Don't get annoYed

BY the waY, turn Your glance this waY

Bravo! Single Malt WhiskeY!

Old habits die hard

I want to eliminate

JCP Dev Pratap Singh

JCP Dev Pratap Singh?

Because Ali saheb...? In the firing...

- Not onlY that

But as a warning

to everY police officer...

who tries to hurt our communitY

Not onlY me, Dev Pratap Singh

has wronged our entire communitY

You have fathomed him well

He is an officer who has nothing but

hatred in his heart for our brethren

Farhaan...

do You realise how dangerous

this task can be?

I'm readY to face anY danger

Have You used a gun before?

Ever taken a life?

No

But I believe in mYself

Welcome, Farhaan.

- Thank You

Fareed, get him prepared

Mr Tejinder Khosla...

one thing is clear

Your Bible and mine are different

MY scripture is the Constitution...

the law of the land.

I don't know about You

Dev, I tell You...

if the countrY exists,

its Constitution exists

If the countrY doesn't exist...

then the Constitution and the Law

don't matter

MY HolY Book is strength Dev

The power to annihilate enemies

of the countrY

Look, sir...

Power does not lie just

with police, armY and weapons

A countrY's real strength lies

in its political structure...

in its economY,

in its judicial sYstem...

in social equalitY

and communal harmonY

And all this

our Constitution provides us

Know what You should have been, Dev?

- What?

The leader of the opposition

in Parliament

I am serious, Mr Khosla... but cheers

What's the matter, Bharati?

C'mon cheers

What do I celebrate? That I silentlY

listen to Your holY talk!

SorrY, Bharati

Arrogant MCPs that we both are...

sorrY

Tell us...

what's Your scripture?

No, I have no scriptures

Just an idea

What the common citizen aspires to...

a countrY that provides not

just food, clothing and shelter...

but also justice and respect...

the freedom to think and choose

WhY? What happened?

I asked for too much?

You asked for Utopia Bharati

And in these evil times

Utopia is not possible, is that it?

Which means no one should even think

of changing the situation? Right?

No Bharati, that's not what I meant

One should not just think but also

do something to bring about a change

But we should keep in mind

that things won't change...

unless we eliminate the enemies

of the countrY

No. What we must

also remember is that...

before we eliminate them,

we must know for sure...

who the enemY is,

what his correct identitY is...

so that no innocent is killed

instead of the enemY

We know, Dev

We both know who the enemY is

Problem is that we forget

We have forgotten a lot Dev

So much so, we have even forgotten

that there is a debt...

that You and I have to repaY...

Armaan's debt

Our Armaan's debt

And what are we

doing about it? What?

Just forgetting... whY?

Should we wipe out his memorY from

our hearts... like he never lived?

Should we simplY forget our child?

That eight Year old

was identified and killed?

Did that little kid walk around

with an AK 47 in his hand?

BloodY cowards!

TheY kill unarmed innocents in broad

daYlight and crawl into their holes

BloodY rats!

I hate those bastards!

IdentifY them!

Armaan is still with us, Bharati...

he alwaYs will be

Get him to exercise.

Must have strong arms

Here You are, Salim.

This is for You, Farhaan

TrY getting this... trY

Keep an eYe on the target

Note the time and pattern

of his movements

I will get more information

from our police informer

MaY I speak to Dr Bharati Singh?

Bharati, Tej has invited us

to dinner tonight

But I won't be free till 8.30.

Please tell Tej

Sure?

- Yes

In the name of Allah,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Allah is Great!

Who is it?

HeY, whY so dark in here?

MY mother saYs

it is important...

to open the doors at sunrise

and switch on lights at sunset

Or the Angels of Benevolence

pass over the house

What are You staring at?

It's sweets and bread...

mother has sent it for You

Know what? The cat in mY house...

I got it married to Rehman's tomcat

Now it has four kittens.

I gave them all awaY

One of them was verY cute.

I named it Sonal...

after mY best friend

in the computer class

She saw it and went crazY... she

picked it up and changed its name?

Do You know to what? AaliYa!

I don't know, AaliYa,

what will happen tomorrow

What will happen tomorrow?

Who knows, AaliYa. NobodY knows

What doesn't anYone know?

So next weekend, we meet at our house

To celebrate Tej's new posting

Tejinder Khosla is readY

for a celebration everY daY

Latif-bhai...

No excuse for failure

The important thing is that

we must not lose courage

Remember, our mission

has not been fulfilled

And it has to be done one daY...

that's all

And don't be seen outside

till You are summoned

Where were You all this while?

I dropped bY manY times

It's verY late... go to bed

Have You eaten?

Get up and eat.

Come on

Shabnam had come bY

She was saYing these daYs Young boYs

have vanished from manY Muslim homes

There's a rumour people

have come from outside

And theY are sending the boYs

for training... someplace abroad

To become Jehadis

Who knows where Shabnam

hears these things

Her wedding's fixed too.

She'll be married this month

I am going with her tomorrow

to shop for the trousseau

I told her we will get silk dresses

with gold embroiderY

You are not involved

in anY such issue, are You?

Meaning, Jehadi, etc...?

Your father would never approve

Dev... the attacker

has been identified

He was Latif's man

It's not possible Mangal Rao.

WhY would I do such a thing?

You and I have a relationship,

a political understanding

You have gone against the spirit

of the relationship, Latif

Mangal Rao, believe me

Let's meet and discuss this.

I will do anYthing to help You people

I think we should clear out the place

The police might raid anYtime

Let them come!

An attack on the life
