You told me to call at 12:30.

Oh Divya told you right?

Where is she? Anyway sit down.

I'll tell you how I

aced that marginal utility.

Okay.

Small request. Don't call me Nageswara.

Call me Bittu.

Bittu? That's so cute.

Let me guess. Your mother

gave you the name didn't she?

You... Yes.. My mother.

Perfect.

Its better you avoid eating outside.

It's not good.

Roadside food doesn't taste good,

no quality, no hygiene...

...if anything happens to you again.

This is not because of roadside food,

but because of our hostel food.

No proper water, no ventilation,

too many mosquitoes, the scent.

Excuse me sir.

I've have to give her saline.

Sure. Please do. I'll be right back.

Wait, wait.

I'll be right back. One minute.

Girish Karnad.

Sir.

In Kukatpally there is one

St. Teresa's girls college and hostel.

Do you know it?

I know it sir.

Five times, 10 times. Whatever the rate

is, we need to buy it by this evening.

Okay? - As you wish sir,

your word is an order.

Get the best interior designers...

...and landscape artists on it

and do up the place.

Okay, sir.

One more thing.

Indian, Chinese, Continental,

Japanese, every kind of cuisine.

I want the top chef in Hyderabad.

We have to make that

hostel a star hotel. Right?

Right.. a five star hotel.

Boys, we've had a

historic youth festival.

All the credit goes to Bittu.

Bittu is great.

Well invite Bittu also to our party.

Seenu, lets wrap up for the night.

How can we go home empty handed?

Lets wait for a while Sir.

What's there to wait for?

Hey, its the cops.

Yeah its the cops.

Turn the bikes around.

When the liquor shop is that way, why

go the other way you fools. Go ahead.

Its the end of the month.

If they catch us, they'll fleece us.

You go straight to the inspector.

I'll take care of them.

Have you gone mad?

If we try to avoid them. They

will go out of their way to catch us.

If we go directly to them.

I'll make them let us go. Come on guys.

We can set everything right.

- What an idea, my boy?

Shall I go?

- Come on guys.

Sir, some bikes are coming.

You fool.

They're coming directly towards us.

That means they're clear.

Leave them alone.

Yes you can go. Proceed. Proceed.

Sir, is there any hospital nearby Sir?

What is the matter?

Nothing sir,

just a little dehydrated that's all.

Boys, you've crossed the hospital. KIMS.

Really? Why turn back now Sir?

Is there any hospital ahead.

Go about 2km up ahead.

There's a nursing home there.

Oh thank you sir, thank you sir.

You go. Start the bike.

Start it fast. Kick hard.

Check if we are on the neutral.

- I think the fuel is low.

Wait a minute, dude! I am trying.

We just filled petrol.

So try and kick properly.

What are you looking at me for officer,

can you kick start the bike please?

Boys bike trouble? Get off the bike.

Hey, take custody of the bike.

No problem sir, we can manage.

How much will you manage you idiots?

Trying to make a fool of the police?

Give me that bottle.

- Sir just mineral water sir.

Give it here.

Water.

This is water?

- I swear on you sir.

Mixing vodka in mineral water

bottles and calling it water?

He found out.

How much did you drink?

One peg sir.

- Just one for formalities sake.

You just had a peg for formality sake?

- Yeah right.

Oh God!

This breathalyzer doesn't

work even if I put the mouth...

...and now its screeching like

a fire engine from a kilometer away.

Thanks to your idea.

- Get down.

Sir, sir, sir please.

- Get down.

Get down, you useless idiots.

- Sir, sir, sir please. Sorry.

Sir, please excuse us.

There are only two types

of drunken driving cases.

If you are lucky fellows.

Then you ram into a road divider

Ora lorry and die on the spot...

...even before you

can yell for your parents.

If I, Dharma, catch you..

it means you are unlucky fellows.

It means you are doomed!! Dharma.

I am even more dangerous than a road

divider and a lorry together. Dharma!

Much more dangerous.

Are you finding it difficult

to tolerate my spitting?

You are in the hands of Dharma now.

I will book false cases on you.

I will strip you.

Sir.. sir.

- Sir.. sir.

Sir, please.

Sir can I make just one phone call?

Who are you going to call?

Trying to scare Dharma?

Sir, to my friend sir.

Bittu, sir.

Bittu? What is this Bittu?

Sir, please. Sir. Please.

Alright make the call.

Where is your phone?

In my trouser pocket, Sir.

In your trousers?

Even if you have to take it

from your underwear, make the call.

Sorry, sorry. Ladies first. Please.

DAD?

Hello, Bittu.

What happened? You're calling so late.

I'm at police station Bittu.

Which one?

- Here, in Punjagutta.

I'm coming right over, wait.

No Bittu. Bittu its okay,

take your time. Slowly.

Bittu, Bittu, come fast Bittu.

Come fast.

When he asked for a treadmill,

I thought he was going to work out.

He is using it to practice

for his political walk.

Oh yes. Stop it, stop it.

Unknown number, unknown number.

Stop it, stop it.

Hello Madam, low command.

Good evening.

I've been waiting for your call.

JP. JP, this is Nageswara Rao speaking.

Oh brother, its you.

How come you're calling now?

Listen carefully to

what I'm going to tell you.

Some fool has brought

a person named Nagarjuna...

...to the Punjagutta police

station and is keeping him there.

If anything happens to him, then by

sunrise, you and your government will.

No need for such extremes, brother.

Leave it to me, I'll take care.

Hello.

Okay.

Okay, sir.

Sir.

- Yes?

Call from home Sir. Its your wife.

I have a cell phone. Can't she call me on

that number She calls on the land-line.

To check if I'm in the station or not.

Just like cops don't trust thieves,

their wives don't trust them.

I don't trust you boys.

You might drink this.

What is it Home? I'm at the station

only. I'm not with my girl friend.

This isn't your wife.

It's me Minister on line.

Oh my God. Sir, sir, greetings sir.

you have taken into custody are?

Sir, I don't sir.

Do you know who Nageswara Rao is?

Sir, I don't sir.

Do you know who Nagarjuna is?

Sir, I don't sir.

I stay out of their dealings.

Sir, there's been a mistake sir.

Sir, it is a misunderstanding sir.

Let them go immediately.

Otherwise you'll go to hell.
