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.

for Your communitY... I appreciate it

But in the process,

don't forget that...

You are a son of this soil

BetraYing this countrY is like

betraYing Your mother

You are free... You can go

Farhaan...

if there is anYthing,

contact me directlY

AaliYa, theY saY Farhaan

is coming back

Farhaan is coming back

"You are mY aspiration..."

"You are mY desire"

"You are mY veil..."

"You are the one who

sees me up close"

"Allah..."

"Through the journeY

mY soul embarks on..."

"You are the onlY one

who walks with me"

"EverY place I live..."

"is the abode that is You"

A lot has changed AaliYa...

circumstances have changed

Nothing has changed Farhaan!

Nothing

It has changed AaliYa...

You have no idea

That JCP Dev! Unless I...

Will killing someone bring

Your father back Farhaan?

Don't think like that, Farhaan

Killing is not in Your nature,

not Your destinY

AaliYa, You are too naive

Yes, I am naive. I know what

the HolY Koran saYs...

killing one person is akin

to killing all of humanitY

Don't burn Yourself

in the fires of hatred, Farhaan

Farhaan, come back.

Come back to me

There's so much between us, Farhaan

Did JCP Dev question You himself?

What did he ask?

MostlY about me, about You

I didn't saY anYthing

Nothing?

You don't believe me?

Farhaan, this is a police matter

We have to be careful

TrY to remember... did anYthing

slip out of Your lips?

I was completelY silent

Did theY want anYthing in return

for Your release?

Did You promise anYthing?

Nothing

OkaY Farhaan, You maY go

GoodbYe.

- God Bless

I don't fullY believe Farhaan

I think he is hiding something

Dev is a verY shrewd officer

There must be a purpose

behind releasing Farhaan

And before he starts

another campaign against us...

we must divert the attention

of Dev and the government

How much material do we have?

About ten kilogrammes.

- Sufficient

Fill it into a motorbike

Motorbike? In this atmosphere?

It's important right now that their

attention is diverted awaY from us

To control what happens next,

theY will need our help

Then we can negotiate

a profitable deal

We'll need two boYs. If something

goes wrong... if theY are caught?

TheY will be caught onlY

if theY survive, no Fareed?

Send Farhaan

How are You, Farhaan?

- Fine

This packet has to be delivered

Park Your motorbike outside

the Ganpati temple and wait there

A middle-aged man, Mr Kulkarni,

will come to You

He has the number of Your bike.

Give him this packet and come back

GoodbYe

"O Auspicious Lord Ganesha..."

"O Lord Ganesha..."

"O Lord Ganesha, Thou art

the God of everYthing auspicious"

HeY Farhaan. Want to eat sweets?

Sweets?

- There are hot savouries as well

You park, I will get some

Enemies of the countrY...

- Will be wiped out!

Enemies of the countrY...

- We will smash them!

Latifbhai, we request You...

to release a public statement

on behalf of the communitY...

that we stronglY oppose

such violent acts...

we condemn it.

We empathise with our Hindu brothers

MY Years of

political experience saYs that...

such a statement will be dismissed

as crocodile tears

It will make no difference.

- It will

It will certainlY

make a difference

At least the whole communitY

will not be held responsible

All right, Altaf bhai, if that is

Your wish, I will certainlY trY

What does Your report saY?

How manY dead in the blast?

There was a crowd at the temple

due to the festival

Hospital reports saY thirtY dead...

seventY injured.

Five of them critical

And?

- The citY is tense, sir

Communal riots maY break out

We have to tighten securitY at once.

- Yes, indeed

Go and make arrangements

to handle the situation

Tej...

You wait

The situation should be controlled,

that's crucial

Peace is essential

The blast has inflamed passions

This rage cannot be suppressed

beYond a point

If in our own countrY, such attacks

take place at our places of worship...

it's natural for the emotions

of the people to be inflamed

These feelings should be respected

TheY must be allowed an expression

Let's not forget this.

EspeciallY You

As an officer on special dutY, You

must give this special consideration

Har Har Mahadev

(Hindu Battle CrY)

No, Farhaan, not at all

How can You even think that

we'll trY to kill You?

You are mistaken, Farhaan

Wait... listen...

The blast was not

from our motorbike...

but from a car next to it.

- Fareedbhai, I saw with mY own eYes!

No! No, Farhaan

You saw nothing.

Nothing, You understand?

I want to meet Latifbhai.

- What for?

Yes, bhai?

ReallY?

We're on our waY

It was Latifbhai. Those people

have attacked the market

Riots have started

Nara-e-tadbir!

(Muslim battle crY)

Mangal Rao...?

Yes, it's Mangal Rao! Run

Auntie, has AaliYa come back?

- No, son

Where is she?

- She and Shabnam...

Where?

- To her house. Mehtab Manzil

Don't let anYone escape!

Hack everYone!

You will not take anY action.

- What?

If we don't take action now,

the situation will go out of control

I will tell You when to proceed

Tej, You've no idea to what extent

the riots have spread

Dev, I know

This is a sensitive communal issue

Police intervention

can worsen matters. I am in control

What control? Before mY eYes,

there is a massacre going on

I know what the police must

do and when

Wait for mY orders

Where do You have to go?

We... have to go to Mehtab Manzil.

Which waY is safe?

Your names?

- Shabnam

AaliYa

Go this waY

This waY?

But there was sound of slogans

I am telling You!

Don't be afraid, this is safe

Go on.

- Yes, Yes... go

Upstairs! HurrY!

Mother!

No Dev, no need for a curfew Yet

No need for

shoot at sight orders either

I am sending reinforcements, and...

AaliYa, it's me. Farhaan

Stop there!

Stop! Stop!

WhY should I stop?

- Where do You think You are going?

Can't You see?

I have to take her to hospital!

Sure, we will help You

Ranawat, rush them to

Gandhi hospital in the Police van

Doctor...

please do something

Come Dev

What's going on, Tej?

WhY were You stopping me

when the riots were spreading...

when arson and killing

was going on? WhY?

It's not wise to stand before

a raging storm

Even You know, no matter how

fierce a riot...

it is never beYond police control.

It can be suppressed

How manY lives could have been saved

I could have quicklY brought

the situation under control Tej

Right, Dev

And You did what I would

have done under the circumstances

Thank You

That is not the answer to mY question

Joint Commissioner Dev Pratap Singh...

when You were told not to

do anYthing, whY did You order fire?

Sir, the situation was

deteriorating rapidlY

Lives and propertY were being harmed.

Things were going out of control

In the situation, sir,

using the powers...

given to me bY the law

I did what I thought was right

Due to these Powers, there are

15 Hindus dead and onlY 3 Muslims

Do You realise the political

implications of these figures?

To look at people breaking them up
