Really great. Good.

-Practise hard, ok.

-Yes, sir.

Practice more.

It's just the first day, so.

With your permission,

can I say something, sir?

Go on.

This band, it's just a sham.

They are planning something else.

Out.

These five are going to escape.

God knows what's going on in there.

What do you think?

That jailor must be suggesting

new ways for torturing us.

Like, will they be

hanging us upside down

or make us lie down.

He's just guessing. He doesn't know.

1026, Dikkat Ansari.

He works as a cleaner here.

He's allowed in every room.

Meaning, getting an

imprint of every lock

is easy for him.

1414, Pali. He works in

the Fabrication Unit.

He'll make a key with Dikkat's imprint.

753, Pandit. He's got a

direct involvement, sir.

He works in the Tailoring Unit.

He can supply them with clothes

to disguise themselves.

-1759, Victor.

-He was an engineer, sir.

Did I ask you?

No, right?

He's an engineer, sir.

He'll give them technical solutions.

And, in the end

Madam's very own fanboy

Her favorite, 1821.

Kishan Girhotra, sir.

I've had our eyes on him

since he got here, sir.

I assure you, he's the

mastermind of this entire plan.

Think about it, sir.

Four inmates, serving life sentence

and one, with a death sentence,

it's the perfect plan.

Sir, these are just assumptions.

I've been handling this

jail for 15 years, sir.

I can even tell you the

number of cobwebs

in every corner of this jail.

Brother, take my advice, let's surrender.

We'll tell jailor about the plan.

This way, our punishment

won't be too severe.

-Are you crazy?

-I am going to tell, Sir.

Listen to me. You'll be safe.

I made this band.

If anyone gets punished for

this, then it'll be me.

Have faith.

Yeah? Yeah!

He's watching.

Sir, again I'm telling you,

these are just assumptions.

Did anyone ask for your advice?

Do I look stupid?

Go home, get married and settle down.

Start a family.

You've no business here.

Don't you dare dismiss me like that!

Even I don't believe in this band.

-But, I believe in reformation.

-What reformation, madam?

This is a jail.

They are prisoners.

They are here to serve their sentence

and not turn over to a new leaf.

I've seen prisoners turn over to a

new leaf. Give them one chance.

What chance, sir?

Should we allow them to escape?

This band is just an excuse.

They are not going to learn any music.

They are planning to escape

from here, I assure you.

If that's the case,

then I'll vouch for them.

They will learn music

-and I'll teach them.

-Shut up!

Security is your responsibility, right?

Yes, sir.

Then, do your job.

Or, should I start thinking

about transferring you into traffic police.

-Even the uniform's same.

-I apologize sir.

And listen, you.

Pay attention to the music.

These agitations can

put your job at risk.

It's done. Your band has been formed.

Lucknow central.

-Practice, ok.

-Yes, sir.

Aren't you getting too

involved with this band?

It'll change the lives of five people.

And, I've challenged that jailor too.

I am going to teach them music.

So, shall we start?

-Are you Bengali?

-No.

How will you teach us music?

We don't have to learn Bengali.

Yes, please begin.

Panditji, shall we begin with you?

Do...

Do...

Do...

Re... Ok.

Re...

Re...

He sings well.

Mi...

-Mi...

-I had told you to let me kill him.

Mi...

Fa...

-Fa...

-Very good.

First, explain to me why we need this?

Well, the jailor's

getting too suspicious.

We'll just pretend, that's all.

"Hey, remember the theory

of Thomas Edison"

"Remember the theory of Thomas Edison"

"Light that bulb in your head

Don't waste your time"

"Remember the theory of Thomas Edison"

"Light that bulb in your head

Don't waste your time"

"This is the formula, brother

Try you best"

"This is the formula, brother

Try you best"

"Be positive and pick up

The pieces of your heart"

"Pick up the pieces of your heart"

"Forget all your worries

And shake a leg"

"And leave the rest to God"

There are too many keys?

Do...

Do...

Once again.

It also has drums.

Do...

I can't do it. No.

You'll get it, Panditji.

You will.

Madam, we must change the method.

"It's a simple thing,

Don't confuse yourselves"

"This is my suggestion,

Don't lose your temper at all"

"Failure is the first step to success"

"Every failure has a special ability"

"Falling down and getting

Back up again is an art"

-First, take a look.

-Yeah.

"When you finish, it's also

Beginning of something new"

-What happened?

-Kishan.

I am going to show

you something amazing.

It'll drive you crazy.

Come on.

Wow. Very nice.

-I am really happy.

-I am still trying to perfect it.

You should dance like

this at the main wall.

Yeah.

Where is the resistor?

Do... re... mi...

Sir, these locks are rusty.

Change it.

Takes time to clean them.

Get lost! Start cleaning.

"Use Graham Bell's phone

To call up your fate"

"Hang up after saying

I'll never give up"

"Show your courage

Say your intentions"

-Wow, Panditji.

-Not wow.

Wo...

"Be positive, collect

All your tears in a bucket"

"Collect all your tears in a bucket

Collect all your tears in a bucket"

Are you going to turn

the entire jail dark?

You're so ambitious.

Let me turn off this section first.

Hey Tilakdhari.

Idiot.

Wait a minute.

-Let's go.

-Wait.

-What are you doing?

-Wait.

-Tilakdhari, you bloody beggar.

-Wash your hands, Tilakdhari.

Who abused me?

"Forget all your worries

And shake a leg"

"And leave the rest to God"

We stay awake while

they sleep. It's not good.

Do... re... mi... fa...

Let's wake them up.

Check inside four number room.

"Forget all your worries

And shake a leg"

Check that corner.

"Forget all your worries

And leave rest to God"

Can you do it so quickly?

Good.

-Wow.

-Nice.

Guys, my mind's working like lightning.

All I can think about is the

happiness after I am free.

Me too, Panditji.

I'll catch a Duronto and straight

to Kolkata. To see my father.

First, he'll be angry.

He'll hit me.

Well, he has the right.

I've troubled him so much.

But, he's my father after all.

I'll convince him.

Then straight to Bhutan with him.

I've heard their happiness

Index is the highest.

Even I will take my

sweetheart Veera somewhere.

Not Bhutan, but either South

or Gujarat. Somewhere far.

Won't you guys have sex?

He'll catch the Duronto.

You'll travel down to south.

Have pity on yourselves.

If you get cursed.

Then all your plans will be foiled.

Oh stupid!

What is your plan, brother?

Plan is to escape.

But, my dream is to form a band.

My very own band.

Once I get on stage, I'll give

everyone else a run for their money.

Huge crowd.

People clapping in sync,

and screaming just one name.

Kishan! Kishan! Kishan!

Kishan!

The jailor's called all of you.

How's your practice going on?

Great.

Good. Good.

So, sing something for me.

-What?

-Song.

What the hell.

You don't need the instruments.

You are practicing enough, aren't you?
