Sir, congratulations on the district!

Though, I've heard Tejpur

is a rough district

But you won't have any problems.

DIG Verma is there

Thanks. Now you all go.

It's time for the train.

I have to make a call

How are you son?

Why didn't you call yesterday?

Anuradha was so worried

Here, talk to him.

I don't want to talk

Yes, what is it?

I just didn't get time yesterday

It was twelve by the time I wrapped up

work at the office

Yes, yes. I know everything.

You're smoking a cigarette, no?

You women have telescopes on your noses.

Hey, I don't even touch cigarettes

One should learn

the art of lying from you

Okay, tell me, why did you call up?

I've got a district posting

Really! Where?

Tejpur

Tejpur? Have you gone mad?

I'm not going to that wild district

Okay, then you stay

with my mother...

and I'll eat the guest house chappatis

all my life

Madam, for a district, something other

than a gold medal is required

I've got Tejpur because

nobody wants to go there

Naturally. Who wants to go

to such a violent place?

Nowadays which place

isn't violent, Anu?

You don't worry needlessly.

Make a programme to come quickly

Impossible! Amit, you know how scared

I am of violence...

how I opposed the IPS...

and now Tejpur

Anu, it's not what you think.

It's just a job

There are no hassles for those who

work within rules and regulations

You know, I also

don't like violence

Listen, if I don't do this now,

I don't now when I'll get a district

And now I can't stay without you

There is a bungalow,

a very big garden...

When are you leaving?

Right now

The train is leaving

in five minutes

At 7 in the morning, I'll reach

the Motipur Division headquarters

I'll take charge from DIG Anurag Verma

and go straight to Tejpur

You get your reservations done

for next week

Okay

Okay, come on... cheer up Anu

Say bye to me properly or I'll

keep sitting here and smoking

And I'll miss the train.

What! So you were smoking. I knew it

Let me just come...

then I'll show you...!

Fixed one for you also, sir.

Just one, small peg

As far as we know, this is

your first district posting?

Yes. You all do business?

Yes. This is Nandkumar and I am

Satyasheel. We own sugar mills

Well, can we ask you

a question in private?

What is the going rate

for the district SP?

I didn't understand

Tejpur is a district

for earning, brother

Strong mafia groups there the

minister must have taken a fat packet

Listen, you are under

a misconception

You also, Mr SP...

Only last year, we financed the

transfer of Lakhisarai SP, N B Prasad

We have a factory there...

lots of labour problems

That time, from the local MLA

to the Home Minister Dwarka Rai...

it cost us 5 million

Forgive me, but I don't

need any finance

Tejpur is the biggest of the six

districts in the Motipur division

It's a little disturbed. The earlier

SP Gupta had a bad time

He was a nervous type...

new IPS...

he clashed with the local mafia. Lost

his dignity and district as well

But you don't worry.

DSP Bhurelal is my man there

Very efficient.

Keeps everyone together

You just relax

If there is any problem, just ring me up

and I'll settle everything from here

You can benefit fully

from my experience

I have seventy years experience.

Seventy years

My father joined the British Police

as head constable...

and after 40 years retired as DSP

I was directly recruited

as the DSP 30 years ago

And now I've been promoted to DIG

From the bottom to the top,

I'm in touch with everyone

You are very lucky that an officer

like me is your DIG

What happened?

Sir, looks like the fuel pump

has given up

Looks like the fuel pump

has given up

Is there a garage around here?

Shikarpur Police Station is close by.

We'll get it fixed there, sir

We can make it there...

slowly, sir

We have reached

Is this Shikarpur Police Station

Yes, sir

It's a huge area from

Bholapur to Kosu Ghat

In around 20-25 miles, this is

the only police station

Okay. You get the car repaired quickly

Yes, Sir

Hey! That seems to be SP's car.

Where is the station in-charge?

Sir... the Sub-Inspector is getting

a massage. His back was aching

Yesterday, he was out patrolling.

The road never the river is really bad

He was on the motorcycle

Sir... big boss

Sir S.I. Bhola Chowdhary.

Station Incharge Shikarpur, sir

You are lying here like this...

suppose there was some dacoit

instead of me?

Sir, what will a dacoit find

in this police station?

Why... they can take

away your weapons

Guns and rifles, they have their own.

The best ones

Our 303 in any case gets jammed

Meet me in office.

Yes sir

Hey, run to the market. Get some

first class tea and snacks for sir

Is this your FIR register?

Sir, the stationary has been over

for three months

But there are no entries here

after the twelfth of last month

But we note everything, sir.

It's not faired out...

You lodge F.I.R. In this?

Just some minor incidents, sir...

otherwise it's quite peaceful sir

What do you know about this area?

You hardly step out

Our jeep is out of action, sir.

For a whole month...

there has been no money

in the diesel fund

Then how do you manage?

Sir, we use Pappu Thekedar's car

In case of emergency the car from

Kajriwal's petrol pump also arrives

We've developed good relations

with everyone, sir

In case of an emergency, there is

never any problem with vehicles, sir

Sir, breakfast is served

Let's proceed, Sir

Please accept greetings

from Pappu Thekedar, sir

You were just saying that there is

no money for the fuel fund...

then how has this food feast

been laid out?

Shikarpur is not that backward, sir

And till we are here, don't worry

about Shikarpur Police Station

There will be no complaints

from here

Where is this bus going?

It will go to Tejpur depot, sir

Stop the bus...

you get this car fixed and come

Please take my car

Take one piece, it's totally fresh.

It's been made specially for you

If you stop over for the night...

we'll get a chance to offer

some special services to you

One ticket for Tejpur

I'm a family man. I have children

to feed, sir. If I take...

And if you don't take it,

I'm going to get off

Beat me up, sir. But don't

make me commit this sin

Looks like checking is on, sir.

What checking?

The usual, sir. Must be the police

team from the station...

I'll just fix the situation

I've also become half-mad. When

the boss is sitting here...

then who is going to stop the bus?

You will not open your mouth.

You will not reveal my identity

Get down

To the officer

Pick up your bags and briefcases.

There is going to be a checking

What sort of checking, brother?

Don't ask so many questions.

Please take your seats

But it's a straight question.

He has a right to know

Don't teach me the law. You've worn a

suit-pant and blasting off in English

The police has the power to

conduct any checking

Where is your officer?

Why? He sitting there.

Whose baggage is this?
