-Maheshwari.

-Sir.

-Shoot them.

-But, I don't have a gun, sir.

-I meant with a camera. Shoot a video.

-Yes, sir.

-Ready?

-Almost, sir.

Do you know how

to do it?

There's a small dot,

just slide that and

It will switch to video mode.

-Done?

-Done, sir. Ready.

Now, we'll take this

video to the opposition.

Make an issue out of it.

And then will shut this band.

Will prove that you're all failures.

Start now.

Come on, start.

But, we've only learned Do Re Mi.

So, let's sing that.

"Do..."

"Re..."

"Mi..."

"Do..."

"Do Re..."

"Fa... so... la..."

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

Why wait for anyone?

"Do Re..."

Lets start the celebrations

"Fa... so... la..."

Why wait for anyone?

Lets start the celebrations

As the beat slowly picks up

"Were going to sway

Well shake a leg to the beat

"When they play a song that's super

One pigeon,

Two pigeons, three pigeons

Partying on the rooftop

One pigeon,

Two pigeons, three pigeons

Partying on the rooftop

After a few pegs down

"The heart beats

Aloud like a woofer

"The heart beats

Aloud like a woofer

One pigeon,

Two pigeons, three pigeons

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

"Do Re..."

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

"Fa... so..."

Weve got style and attitude

Treating scooter like a Ferrari

All set to drop to beat

Sir, do you get the hint?

Its true what I say, but

Don't let the secret leak

Time for less talk and more work

Were going to break out of the cage

No more staying cooped

Up in this prison

Amongst zeros,

Zero is the leader

If we win,

They will call us cheater

Were burning our blood

Like the midnight oil

Once we're free,

Well fly away like free bird

Once we're free,

Well fly away like free bird

One pigeon,

Two pigeons, three pigeons

Partying on the rooftop

One pigeon,

Two pigeons, three pigeons

Partying on the rooftop

After a few pegs down

"The heart beats

Aloud like a woofer

The heart beats

Aloud like a woofer

One pigeon,

Two pigeons, three pigeons

We keep singing

As the sun goes down

The party looks brighter now

The entire town looks

Like they are high

But our heart seems down

I am scared, my livers

Going to give up sooner or later

Stop singing.

Stop this charade.

Come on.

Stop making a commotion.

Come on.

Don't look around.

Keep walking straight.

"Do..."

"Re... mi... do"

"Re... mi... do"

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

"Fa... so..."

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

Do"

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

"Fa... so..."

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

"Fa... so..."

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

"Fa... so..."

Quiet!

-Come on.

-Get back inside.

Get back in.

-Get back in.

-What are you looking at?

-Get back in.

-What are you looking at?

-Sir.

-Get back in.

I wanted to thank you, sir.

We're all big failures, sir.

Ramanajun said,

'Zero has no value alone.'

Almost non-existent.

But, if you associate

it with a number

its value increases.

-You turned us into one too.

-What nonsense.

I sang and danced at a lot of places sir.

Weddings, birthdays,

Council offices, fields

but, I could never form a band.

I tried really hard, but couldn't do it.

You see, you don't need

instruments to make a band.

All you need are people,

who can sing in tune?

You just did that, sir.

You made us sing in sync.

You made us worth something.

Thank you.

-Lock them up.

-Sir.

Hey. Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

You were amazing, Kishan.

You were amazing, buddy.

It was Madam.

Did we really make a band?

Did you see?

Panditji, Victor, Dikkat.

They sang, they danced.

Madam is amazing.

Are you happy or worried?

What do you mean?

Brother, band or freedom?

To hell with that Gayatri Kashyap.

She's disrupting my quiet life.

-On the rocks.

-Sir.

IG sir and CM sir, have

lost their mind too.

They want to make

Lucknow central band

in Lucknow central jail.

Sir.

-That was sister-in-law, sir.

-Why are you worried?

-Stay.

-Sorry, sir.

-I asked you to make a video.

-I did, sir.

Make it viral on the internet.

-Do you know how it's done?

-Yes, sir. Whatsapp, Viber.

Facebook, email, etc. everywhere.

Let everyone know, we've got a bunch

of jokers in Lucknow central jail.

And creating a ruckus

in the name of music.

The prisoners are revolting.

Let everyone know.

Now there's going to be a commotion.

There will be an upheaval.

Now, I'll call the shots

and they will listen.

-Hey come here.

-That's our Kishan.

Sh*t!

How can someone sneak a phone inside?

Security is your responsibility, right?

Well, meet me at the CM's residence.

-Hello, sir.

-Not now, I am busy.

Are you married?

What?

You see, I was a little surprised.

Married man with children

and family, having a good life.

And, this is how you behave.

What's it called, petty.

Petty.

What's your problem?

Five people will turn

over to a new life

They'll make some achievement in life.

-What do you stand to lose?

-I lose my pride.

Pride.

It took me 15 years to make it,

can't lose it so easily.

Lucknow central jail is my fortress.

And we look after 5000 inmates.

And the ones you're

supporting, are not humans.

They are sheep. Criminals.

That's their identity

and it's going to stay that way.

They still have to make an

identity for themselves.

-We'll see, Gayatri. We'll see.

-We'll see.

Let's go.

It was a mistake, sir.

I'll sort this out immediately.

We'll take corrective

measures right away.

We'll ask the band members

to give a statement

that they are severely punished inside.

And, we'll assure the victim's family

that they will have

maximum security inside

so that they dont face any problems.

That's exactly what I don't want.

I don't want that.

If you can't understand politics

then, at least try to

understand the game plan here.

Do you have any idea how

viral is this MMS getting?

Sir, Youtube 20,000 hits.

-Mobile viral spread, one million.

-And counting.

And the credit will go to? Me.

I created that band.

Everyone's saying that "The youth

Minister has a modern thinking".

"He's implemented

progressive ideas in jail."

Facebook, retweet, likes,

Twitter. What is it?

-Sir, trending.

-Trending.

And, plus I have a proposal.

I'll tell Donald Trump in America

that send your inmates to Uttar Pradesh.

We'll reform them and send them back.

Now, that's called progress.

Let me get a little popular,

What is your problem?

Just a handful of people are

criticizing me. So let them.

Sit down.

Come.

Remember one thing.

This band must win.

And, lip sync won't work now.

I want a mind blowing performance.

It should echo from

Lucknow central to all over the state.

My reputation is riding on them.

Don't forget this.

And in exchange,

give them anything they want.

Make them heroes.

I just don't understand

why the color of your uniform

and the traffic police is same.

-Would you like some drinks?

-Can we?

Take it. Take it.

Don't worry. Take it.

Bottle.

Sir, if we can get one

of your betel leaf.

Sir, 100 rupees.

-What?

-100 rupees.

Of course,

you'll get that too.

Do a good job, practice hard
