I'd filed an appeal

in the High Court.

But it was rejected.

But don't worry.

As soon as the charge sheet is

filed, I'll apply for it again.

It will take a few more days.

A few more days? How

many days, sir?

Parag, this is a legal procedure.

You've to follow the procedure.

And our system is a bit

slow. You know that.

It will take a few

days more. - Parag.

But how many days? Mother,

I'll go mad.

I'll go mad, Mother. Mother,

please get me out of this place.

Parag, it's a drug case.

Mother, please get me

out of this place.

Please, Mother. - We're trying.

A policeman was shot.

Don't forget that this is

a non-bailable offence.

We're still trying.

Son, everything will be fine.

Just have patience.

Just stay calm, Parag.

Parag. - Parag.

Parag.

Come on.

Come on. Hurry up. Go to

your respective barrack.

Come on. Get inside

quickly. - Come.

Come on. Hurry up.

Come on. Come on.

Listen. - Sir.

As per the court orders, the

toilets that were to be made...

...is that work over?

Sir, it will take

another two days.

Hurry up. The committee

is going to arrive.

Okay, sir. - Why are

you sitting here?

It is close-up time. Go inside.

I won't go.

Why should I stay here?

I didn't do anything.

The jailor has come. - Nawab. - Yes.

What is going on? Why

is he still out?

Go inside.

Why am I being punished?

I'm not a bloody criminal.

I'm not.

I don't deserve this.

The court will decide

what you deserve...

...and what you don't deserve.

All this won't be tolerated

here. Come on. Go inside.

Quick.

I said move.

Move.

Ingle. - Sir.

Take him.

Come on. - Don't touch

me. Don't touch me.

No. - Now what happened? - No.

- You're scared? - Nawab. - No.

Thrash him. - No.

He talks a lot. - No. No.

Beat him.

He back answers sir.

No. Please.

Beat him.

Thrash him. He'll be incapable

of walking.

Beat him.

Kasare. - Yes.

Untie him. - Okay.

Come on. Your first

lesson is over.

What? Go away.

Go.

Help me carry him.

Carefully. Slowly. Slowly.

Move. Move. Move aside.

Carefully. Move.

It will be ready by today. Shift

all the things there.

Bear in mind that no iron piece

should be left behind...

...during the shifting. - Kasare,

bear in mind. - Okay.

Is it paining here? It's

still paining? - Yes.

Fine. I'll give another

day's medicine. - Okay.

What happened? You're not well?

No, just like that.

Nobody comes to the doctor's

clinic just like that.

Why? People are beaten

even for coming here?

Parag... here it doesn't make

any difference to anyone...

...whether you did anything or not.

But it's in your hands as to

how you're treated here.

Make friends.

It will be easier to spend time.

What? Is everything fine? - Yes.

Here.

Is it pure Afghani? - Yes.

Here. Enjoy. - Thanks.

Today fresh grocery has

arrived in the canteen.

Hold this.

Smarty, I heard you showed daring

in front of the jailor.

Look, in jail the initial

days decide...

...how your future days will be.

If you're intimidated

in the beginning...

...everybody will boss you around.

But if you show your fiery

temperament a few times more...

...you'll be the king.

We'll gel well.

If you've any problem, tell me.

I'm Kabir. The gangster. - Okay?

Kabir. - Yes.

Come here. - Coming.

See you.

What are you saying, Mr Shirke?

It was a big news

in the newspaper.

It wasn'thing. - Tell

me. What happened?

Tell me. - It wasn'thing.

Seeing my prosperity

in the party...

...my own people started

feeling envious of me.

And they framed me.

In the name of the party, two

people sent money to my house.

And they accused me of accepting

bribe for the tender.

It's nothing.

According to your horoscope your

Saturn is unfavourable.

It will change after 15 days.

After you get bail, the

same policemen...

...will escort you outside

respectfully.

You're right. Hear a poem.

Go ahead, Galib.

The fever of politics is bad.

The trance of power is bad.

Stay away from the politicians

of this country, friends.

Even their love is bad.

Wow!

This leader is rotting in jail.

But he didn't forgo his habit

of holding an assembly.

You can't straighten a dog's tail.

Hi. - How are you? - Fine? - Yes.

How are you, Brother?

- It is fun in jail.

Dilip Mehta. A pious man.

His entire family is in

jail under section 498.

498?

When a woman accuses her in-laws

of dowry harassment...

...then her in-laws are charged

under section 498.

His son's wife was

having an affair.

One day his son caught her.

There was a row. The wife

lodged a complaint.

They're demanding dowry

from my father.

Now all his family members except

his pet dog are in jail.

Look. It's for Baba.

He took special permission

from the court.

He says he suffers from all

stomach related ailments.

That's why his clothes and

food comes from home.

I've heard at times these

containers contain mobile parts.

Kabir joins the parts.

Baba. The underworld guy.

Yes. That gangster.

He runs the underworld network...

...spanning from Dongri to Dubai

from his special barrack.

He teaches a lesson to

the gang from jail.

Ganni. - Yes. - Someone has

come to meet you. Come.

I'll just come.

Yes.

Did she learn to speak?

Yes. Mother. Water.

She talks a bit.

You didn't teach her

to say father?

She has just starting speaking.

Ganni, I've got a job

in a biscuit factory.

Why? Why are you working?

How will I run the household?

The money that you gave me lasted

for just two months.

And your attorney.

He demands money every

four months.

From where would I've got it?

Come, Ganni. Your time is over.

Kasare, let it be. - Okay, sir.

Continue talking.

Okay. But when you come

to meet me next...

...she should be able

to say father.

She says whatever she sees.

She'll learn it when

you'll come home.

God willing.

Parag, look. She's my daughter.

She's sweet. What is her age?

Mehru is one-and-a-half year old.

I came here when my wife was

just four months pregnant.

Under what charge?

302. Murder.

You committed murder?

Before getting married Sabina

used to work in a bar.

Once I took her out for dinner.

Her old customer from

the bar came there.

He started misbehaving

with Sabina.

I lost my temper.

I picked up a bottle and

hit him on his head.

He died on the spot.

I didn't want to kill him.

My anger lasted for a second.

And for the past two

years I'm in jail.

My trial has still not started.

Desai, aren't you interested

in volleyball?

Cricket match is better

than volleyball.

There the decision

is taken quickly.

Come on, Desai. Get lost.

Do you know?

There is no value of life in jail.

For instance, your life.

You're here because you

committed a murder.

Who knows what will happen?

Whether you'll be

acquitted or not.

You should take risk in life.

If you want to take risk,

live your life outside.

So you want me to believe you?

I know what you people do.

You influence people here,

you bail them out.

And once they're outside, you
