Ohh, poor guy can't speak.

Mishra put him in the

handicapped section.

Go on, son.

Next. 1821.

Vegetarian or non-vegetarian?

Can't speak?

Mishra, the guys at Moradabad

haven't mentioned

that he's handicapped.

Then, what's the problem?

-Why aren't you speaking?

-Maheshwari.

Stop troubling the kid.

He's had a long journey.

Must be tired.

Right?

Let him rest.

Come, son.

I'll escort you personally.

Let's go.

Did they feed you properly

during the journey?

I hope it wasn't too taxing?

Great.

And, if you've any grievances with us

then we have a grievance book.

-Suggestion book.

-Yeah.

Suggestion book.

You can write your suggestion.

And we'll deal with it.

Downstairs.

You see, we live here like a family.

One family, always together.

Come on.

What happened, son?

What are you thinking?

I get it. You haven't seen

anything like this before.

This is just the beginning.

There's much more to see.

Come, I'll show you.

Come on.

Come. Come.

Come, son.

Careful. Careful.

He's trying really hard.

-Tripathi.

-Yes, sir.

Is the noose tight enough?

-Super tight, sir.

-Good.

-Maheshwari.

-Sir.

Why is he struggling so much?

Does he want to say something?

-But, the poor guy can't speak.

-Yeah we've forgotten.

Then, why is he struggling so much?

-Maheshwari.

-Sir.

-Are we making a mistake?

-Tie his hands.

Let's take a look at the

court orders again.

-Yes, here you go.

-What's written.

Sir, the printout has faded.

Sir, I think he's been given a

death sentence.

Are you sure?

Sir, they've demanded.

It's a demand?

It's pending, sir.

-It's confirmed.

-No, sir, it's still pending.

It's confirmed.

Wait, man.

-Maheshwari.

-Sir.

What's written here?

If he's given a death sentence,

and we don't hang him

then the court will come after us.

True.

Then what should we do?

-Move.

-Sir.

-Tripathi.

-Yes, sir.

Hang him.

invitations from the CMO.

Will your band be ready?

Will 1821 be able to handle it?

You can eat this time.

I'll survive on water.

'Religion Rock' on your back.

Are you interested in music?

Are you crazy?

I am talking about food

and you're talking about music.

Have you seen the posters

about the band?

I didn't come here to form a band.

I didn't come here to

form a band either.

The plan is something else.

How are we going to escape?

We'll get certain benefits.

We can plan during practice sessions.

This is a high-security jail.

I want to know, how

are we going to escape?

On the day of the

competition, 15th August.

Independence Day.

That's a good day.

But, how are we going to escape?

There's going to be a function.

Ministers will attend it.

Other.

As well as inmates from other jail.

We'll use this opportunity to

disguise ourselves and escape.

Come here.

Is this just an idea

or, have you worked on it?

The IG asked her to form a band

at Lucknow central jail.

But she clearly refused.

It's my dream to make a band.

It's not that easy to make a band.

You dont worry.

I'll be the first volunteer.

I know every corner of the jail.

Number of police officers,

fuse-boxes, everything.

The duration between the power cut

and when the generators

turn back on, is only 15 seconds.

So, why have you chosen me?

First reason, you're

serving a life sentence.

You don't have a choice.

And second, you're an engineer.

You can find technical solutions.

Hey.

Look.

I don't want to get electrocuted.

-What say, Victor?

-Just the two of us?

We've to form a band,
