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.

of opinion, Dev...

notwithstanding, we have been friends

through thick and thin for 30 Years

So whY have we become enemies todaY?

You are making a mistake

in recognising friend from foe

I'm not Your enemY, Tej. This is

not about our friendship either

Then? You want to become a messiah?

Who for?

Even now, Dev...

is it not possible that we...?

So You've decided

to go against me

Tej, You did what You

thought was right

I want to do what I think is right

Take care, Dev

You too, Tej

No... nothing

All set for tomorrow, sir?

All set

Do You think the report...

and Your testimonY will make

a difference and You will win?

I mean, considering

todaY's politics...

it seems like it won't

make anY difference

It will make a difference, Farhaan

CertainlY

Our Courts of Law still stand todaY

to defend the truth

You are a law graduate

If Youth like You lose faith

in the law...

Iose courage and become cYnics...

it will be a sad daY

for this countrY

You must start practicing law

As You wish, Dev saheb

But I am worried about You.

- Worried about me?

Those people can do anYthing

to save themselves

You are afraid theY might kill me?

Yes

Look Farhaan...

a man reallY dies the daY

he sees injustice...

and still staYs silent

The question is not

whether I maY win or lose

The question is not even whether

I maY live or get killed

The question is whether,

as a police officer...

am I doing mY dutY or not

As a human being, am I fighting

for the truth, for Justice or not

Armaan...

life is a battlefield

Facing victorY or defeat,

a soldier's dutY is to fight

Till his last breath, till

the last drop of his blood, fight

Armaan, the meaning of life...

is to struggle continuouslY

for truth and justice... that's all

You called me Armaan

Who is Armaan?

Our son

TodaY he would have been Your age

Bharati...

will You give these kids

some food or not?

Sure.

- And I have to leave earlY tomorrow

I will also reach there.

- To see the circus?

Who did it, Tej?

Who murdered Dev?

Politics

Politics is the biggest killer

in our countrY

Tej, who killed Dev?

It will take time to get information

I need to be alone, Tej

Please leave

I have to return some

of Dev's things... come home

Tell me something, Dev

I know sometimes

You get carried awaY

You are the emotional kind

But what did You do?

Fell in love with that

treacherous communitY?

Forgot their black deeds

and gave them shelter in Your home?

Embraced them?

You have disgraced the force

You have been unjust

to the memorY of our own Armaan

You have lost Your right Dev.

All rights

The right to wear a uniform,

the right to serve the nation...

the right to be in the police,

the right to Armaan's memorY...

the right to be mY friend.

Yes, the right to be mY friend!

You have lost the right to

friendship with Your Tejinder Khosla

You have lost everYthing, Dev.

EverYthing

You have lost all rights.

You have no right even to sit here

Go... go awaY

You are still here?

Go awaY, Dev.

You are not supposed to be here

I don't know You, Dev.

I don't want to know You either

Get out of mY life

Come in, Farhaan

You called...?

- Yes...

I called You

Come on, have a drink

No, thank You. I don't drink

What was Your relationship with Dev?

MY relationship with Dev saheb?

He was mY spiritual father

You won't understand

You want to take

Armaan's place, do You?

MY Armaan's place?

Dev saheb's Armaan

Dev saheb,

whom You murdered

Farhaan Ali!

- Your friend...

Your closest friend,

whom You shot dead

You think You have this great burden

on Your shoulders...

after Dev's death?

Not death. Murder

He was murdered

You were to give me

Dev saheb's things

Spiritual father, eh?

Dev was Your father?

Farhaan Ali,

I have nothing of Dev's

You maY go

Please go

Farhaan, now this is

Your responsibilitY

It is mY dutY.

- Ours

It is our dutY to carrY on

Dev saheb's belief...

that it makes a difference,

it certainlY does

The question is not

whether I maY win or lose

The question is not even whether

I maY live or get killed

The question is whether,

as a police officer...

am I doing mY dutY or not

As a human being...

am I fighting for the truth,

for Justice or not

Faced with victorY or defeat...

a soldier's dutY is to fight

Till his last breath, till

the last drop of his blood, fight...

for Truth and Justice.

Keep up the struggle
