on display for the guests.

And, why are they

kneeling down?

Hey.

No cheating.

You know what,

go and ask the higher officials.

-Don't ask me.

-Fine.

Better hold on to your seat,

because

-I am going to take this to the IG.

-Most welcome.

Hey! stand up, stand up.

Camera's are not

allowed in here, madam.

-We'll complain about this.

-Most welcome.

Only palms have lines, madam.

Frowning doesn't suit on your face.

My mother used to say it.

You should try smiling sometimes.

-You look really happy.

-Why shouldn't I?

I am getting a chance to appeal.

My lawyer is coming to see me personally.

One more thing, ma'am.

I can't perform at the

26th January function.

Because I am getting out of here.

-Hey! You come here.

-Sir.

Kishan. Kishan. Here.

-Greetings, brother.

-Greetings.

-How are you?

-Great! What about you?

Well, I have a good

news and a bad news for you.

Great!

Meaning, you have the water ready

-to put out the fire, after you start it.

-No no.

No fire. But, I can't appeal anymore.

Before I could appeal for you

the IAS officer's family

filed a petition in High Court.

They are demanding death penalty.

But, I requested

the Public Prosecutor.

For a meeting.

Don't be scared, Kishan.

We'll approach every MP,

MLA, and Minister if we have to.

Don't worry.

Don't worry at all.

Brother, please take the matter

to the higher authorities.

"We all say, Happy Birthday to you"

Long live the CM

Long live the CM

-Sir, IG sir.

-Thank you very much.

The traffic arrangements

were just wonderful.

Sir, IG of prisons.

Remember, Lucknow Jail.

All the uniforms look so similar

that it's hard to figure out.

Please, sit down.

Not your fault, sir.

I am sure, Satyanarayan

already had a word with you.

This time, I want to organize

the Prison Band Competition

in Lucknow Central Jail.

Ok.

Sir, if you could consider

a different place.

Where?

Father wants it to

be in Lucknow Central.

We'll invite the Central Ministers

and will

pressurize them, to

allot more funds for jails.

And you want me

to do it somewhere else

instead of Lucknow,

our very own capital.

Sir, the filth from

all over the state

are dumped in Lucknow Central Jail.

We've got some pretty fierce inmates.

This prison band competition which is

being organized for the last 10 years

has seen the least participation

from Lucknow central.

Whereas Naini,

Allahabad, Banaras, Agra.

The number of participants

from these four jails are maximum.

You see, the inmates at Lucknow

central are made of a different DNA.

Then form a band,

that's not a good reason.

Form a band!

What's it called,

where actors pretend

while the singers stand

at the back and sing.

-Lip sync.

-Yes, do that.

Give them a guitar,

a drum and a harmonium.

They will create an

electrifying atmosphere

and Lucknow central

will get popular.

Sir, Lucknow central is

slightly difficult to handle.

There are security concerns, sir.

There's a risk of inmates escaping.

So, the hosting of this festival at

Lucknow central is not a good idea, sir.

Father said it'll

be at Lucknow Central

When and how,

the security is your problem.

You're the in-charge,

so it's your responsibility.

Don't try to sweet talk me.

And if you fail.

I'll transfer

you over to traffic police.

Even the uniform is same.

-Good joke, sir.

-It's not a joke.

I am being honest.

Be serious.

Gayatri, please.

Be patient with him.

And, control your temper.

Of course,

why would I lose my temper.

I meditated in the morning.

Don't worry.

Look, Gayu. You already

have a problem with the system.

We're only worried that

you might see something wrong

-and start yelling.

-I won't scream at the IG.

We'll have a decent conversation.

Come Madam.

Tell the jailor.

Tell the Jailor to

issue orders immediately.

We need a band at Lucknow

central jail, that's all.

What do you mean 'How'?

Just form a band, that's it!

-Yes?

-Sir, Gayatri Kashyap.

Get straight to the point!

Your officers are just pathetic!

Our NGO has done extensive

work in many jails of UP

for reformation of criminals.

And currently,

we're working in Moradabad jail

for the 26th January celebrations.

They allowed a camera in jail, because

she was the Minister's daughter.

Add to it Section 36 and Section 37

'Indiscipline by on-duty SO'

'for flouting norms and

causing agony to convicts.'

Sir, this also reminds

me of Section 29.

Uniform officer giving

physical punishment to convicts.

They made them kneel down, sir.

What is this?

And that SO doesn't even

wear his cap, sir.

Do you.

know music?

What do you mean?

All of a sudden?

Gayatri, sir.

She never listens to anyone.

The IG asked her to make a

band at Lucknow central jail.

But she clearly refused.

She said, "Our job is not

making bands, it's reformation!"

She lost her job,

and we lost our project.

State vs Kishan Mohan Girhotra.

So, you want to move to the High Court?

Yes, sir.

Are you not happy with

the life sentence?

Death is the only justice in

this high-profile case, sir.

There's an outrage in the public.

The victim's family must get justice.

I see. Justice?

You make it sound like,

it's a piece of cake.

Everyone wants a piece of it!

Fine. Go to High Court.

Demand death sentence.

Your honor.

Your honor, demanding death

sentence without evidence is

He's already serving life sentence, sir.

Next hearing.

Your honor.

Please reconsider.

If you could please reconsider.

Your honor. Kishan.

"O life, there could not be a mix

Of my colors with your colors"

We small town people

shouldn't dare to dream big.

Father, the towns may be small,

but dreams have no limits.

Status quo has changed, ma'am.

For you and for 1821.

Five minutes.

Thank you for coming, madam.

Your lawyer said you wanted to meet.

Look, frankly, there's nothing I can do.

-My job.

-You and I are like parallel lines, madam.

Do you understand parallel?

Parallel lines.

Parallel lines run

parallel to each other

and meet only at infinity, madam.

I didn't understand.

I am talking about meeting at infinity.

Lucknow central.

I am being transferred

to Lucknow central.

And, I know you've received an offer

-to make a band.

-What are you trying to say?

I have a request.

I want you to take up that

offer to form a band.

It will even get you your job back.

You mean, I should help you

to get my job back?

To fulfill my dream.

I always wanted to form a band.

I'll be your first volunteer.

You can't make a band with one man.

It's my job to recruit other people.

-It's not easy to convince them.

-It'll be my job to convince them.

Will they allow you?

That's your job.

This is why I called you here, madam.

"O life, there could not be a mix

Of my colors with your colors"

Take off your clothes.

Turn around.

Front again.

Hands up.

Spread the fingers.

Look down. Dust your hair.

Straighten your neck again.

Open your mouth.

Yeah.

Here. Now go.

Next.
