The Hawk swooped on the

prey and carried it away..

Story sounds believable,

but you don't like to hear it..

The prey then attacked the hawk.

Sounds unbelievable,

but is so pleasing to hear..

A shocking news story,

your heart will skip a beat!

A story you'll refuse to believe!

The common man will be

forced to ask.

When 'they' themselves aren't safe,

what is to happen of us'?

When he couldn't protect his own home,

hovv then will he protect our homes?

The biggest news-story today!

'When'? 'Where? 'V\/hy?'

'Hovv?' ..they won't tell...

But this news is certain that.

The Home Minister's

son has been kidnapped.

What!

Watch where you're going!

L-low can anyone just kidnap

the Home Minister's son'?

They're simply spreading rumors.

- What happened?

Swatantra TV is going

to get in trouble with the Cops.

Yes, yes...

It was on a Hindi News Channel.

Dad! Stop it! It can't be true.

You barely understand Hindi.

What if this is a rumour?

A big news story

coming up from Bihafis...

a big news story

coming up from Mumbai!

A section of the Metro

over-bridge has collapsed.

News of 'Farmer Suicides' are now coming

in from different parts of the country..

'Progress' is nowhere in sight.

Nothing is getting accomplished.

All one hears is Scandals'

on the News.. nothing else to show!

Corruption in India has to stop.

It has been going on for

too long, and now with

the growing economy,

the amount is bigger.

Until and unless someone takes an

initiative, nothing can be done about it.

What can the ordinary people do? They'll

have to bear the five year tenure...

'They' will decide for us

whether the times are good or ugly..

More than twenty-eight

people lost their lives in the.

Bridge collapse across

the Chambal River in Rajasthan.

Six people are dead.

Twelve people have lost their lives.

This terrible tragedy

was a result of negligence...

There is definitely

a lapse somewhere...

Long live the revolution!

We want Justice!

There is no help from MCT...

Some lives can be saved here!

The Government is silent. Everything

they are looting! I mean this is high time!

They fill their pockets

up by hiking Diesel-Petrol prices.

The poor get poorer..

But the Government does nothing

to fill the pockets of the poor.

Prices of vegetables are so unreasonable,

can't really choose what to cook.

We could survive plainly on Water,

but the taps are running dry too!

The Puppeteer.

Jaya.

Someone will enter

and see you like this.

My tears will violate

your protocol. Is it?

No Prashant! Not this time.

I want my son!

He is my son too, Jaya.

Fine then bring him back to me.

If we were under no threat,

then where is Rohan?

I kept telling you let us

send him to London, at my sister's.

But you wouldn't listen.

It would have ruined

your Socialist image.

I have got Nachiket on this, okay.

- Yeah, sure!

He will be here any -

Where the hell is Nachiket?

They had me handle the party,

when I was to become a Minister.

Now they want me

to handle the Minister too.

Where is Nachiket?

Home Minister is meeting him first.

That's the NIA Chief, Raghuvaran.

That's Director of IB, Bakshi.

And what's the RAW chief's name?

Some Singh?

Shivender.

Hello, Mr. Shivender Singh.

- Hello, sir.

Please sit down.

Please, sir.

Sir you first.

Mr. Nimbalkar.

Such an important case to the CBI?

To a Joint-Director ranked officer?

And Nachiket is a lot junior to us.

It's a collective responsibility,

why not a collective decision?

Paw!-?

We need a party loyalist right now.

Nachiket is very competent.

As a cop he knew all the

kidnapper gangs in his region.

In the Court he would address

these thugs by their first name.

In politics, election ticket

is given on the basis of Caste,

while a case, on the basis of Stature.

He will be the team-leader.

And he will find out who

kidnapped Rohan, why and where to.

Cheeku.

- Hmm!

It isn't time yet.

Uncle, chicken momo.

Phoenix is sleeping.

Phoenix is stationary and safe.

Zero hundred hours,

Phoenix is stationary, safe.

First inspection, midnight.

Get up.

Phoenix is sleeping.

We've got to return before 4:00 am.

Not from here, from back route!

Quick! Run!

Here take this uncle.

Spidi wait for me!

Do cops ask for your license?

Of course they do.

Once you pay them off,

they stop asking for it.

One fried rice.

Where can one get a food-cart?

- Lots of places.

I first started on a moped.

- Why?

Sometimes I had to make a run for it.

Here, your money.

Spidey, momos.

- Let us go! It will be 4 o'clock soon.

Babulaal must be on his way.

Hello.

Four hundred hours.

Phoenix is stationary and safe.

Second inspection, sharp 4 o'clock.

Then a gap of four hours again.

I will go on my own,

but will you come to pick me up'?

So the kid was abducted

between 12 and 4 am.

And it is 8 am right now.

We've been raiding suspects in Dehradun for

the last 4 hours, but haven't found him.

Wasn't he under 24 hour surveillance?

Yes but Mr. Home Minister withdrew it

after the security reforms last year.

There were just the two of us.

The School threw a tantrum.

On school authorities' advice,

security presence inside was reduced.

But Rohan knew both

of us were outside.

The other kids told us he would

sneak out by climbing over a wall..

After listening

to his stationary report.

That's how he earned

his nickname 'Spideyi.

Bur the other kids

never hinted a thing.

Boarding school kids have

different codes and ethics.

You should've won over one of

them to keep an eye on Rohan.

Idiots!

They will never use their brains.

People learn after it is over.

Who could've predicted that Rohan

would run into his kidnappers himself.

Spidey! Spidey! l-lousie! l-lousie!

Do you Know... Do you Know..

Into 2... Speak up.

Into 2...

Into 2...

Into 2...

Into 2 meaning...

- Spidi...

you are repeating everything twice...

- Spidi things are spinning around...

Twice... twice...

- Spidi...

Hello!

Black Day.. Command come in!

Command come in! Black Day!

Did you inform his security outside?

Two kids are missing, sir.

Rohan!

Rohan!

Rohan!

He isn't here, sir!

Rohan!

He has been drugged.

But he should be fine. I will visit

again in half an hour.

What is the status of the Army?

All our units are on standby.

We will cover from Dehradun Cantonment

to Modi Nagar and Saharanpur.

No, sir. I don't think

we should deploy the army.

Why not Nachiket?

Only the Army is competent.

Excuse me sir, can I?

Your units will cover these areas.

And triangulate the kidnappers here.

Correct?

- Absolutely, officer.

Kidnappers will realize

that they are trapped.

Their stakes are too high.

And pardon me for

what I am about to say.

They will panic.

Slash the boy's throat

and disappear in the crowd.

And we will never know their faces.

Cheeku! Where are you?

Cheekuu!

Cheekuu!

Cheekuuu!

Cheekuuu!

Listen.. You will hurt yourself!

Cheeku!

Cheeku, sky is falling.

Be careful.
