I could've saved him..

These were some of his belongings..

I had..

..asked for money..

Sir, my ears could have been ringing..

If any innocent man gets

hanged because of me..

..how will I face the Almighty,

after I die?

Just say that you got cold feet..

Why bring the Almighty into this?

What you're going to tell Him,

start thinking about that now..

Ridiculous!

Session day two, we'll

continue our training program..

concentrating on Wall St. to Main St.

strategy where in phase one..

we look at these points.. and in

phase two, we focus on those..

In phase three, we will look at

how to tie in a strategic partner..

The next day, that's day three, we

will continue our training session..

talking about dual

strategy in corporate banking..

Any questions on the same?

Yes.. ma'am.. earlier you had

mentioned about risk management..

..so can you please elaborate?

We'll talk about the same.. in our

training session, on day number six..

"Some people are saying..

they will get free very soon."

It's still haunting you?

You know the thing is Jai..

Did Manju win? Or

those guys who killed him?

Come on, Anjali.. I spoke

to the alumni co-ordinator..

They're trying to rustle up some

support, there's a legal case to be filed..

.. it's a process.. takes time..

What's his mom's fault?

Look, I know, but what can be done?

Neither of us have

ever been inside a court..

..where does one even start?

The most rotten thing

is this feeling that..

.. it might all go waste..

There must be so many

people hinting to his mom..

..that her son was

really stupid to do all this..

She must be lying in bed

at night, thinking her son..

..what he did.. was stupid..

..that Manju was a failure?

Now, our director, Mr. Devi Singh,

will come on the stage..

and give a memento to Manjunath's father

He was..

He was as young.. as young as you..

When I look at you..

I am reminded of him..

Please help us

Relax, I understand..

what's happened, has happened..

It's OK, Mr. Gandhi

Well, you did want to

change things like him, right?

Vande Mataram!

Maybe, we need to wait a bit more, no?

Maybe, young people out there will

be inspired by you.. protest and say

'Long live

Manjunath..we are with you..' No!

They won't say that.. no one's going

to support you.. forget about it..

I'll give you a piece of advice..

Take your next birth as Golu Goyal..

..you and your family

will see some real fun

Everyone wants a Gandhi..

but next door..

.. in their own house, they

want a Golu Goyal only..

What say, Mr. Gandhi?

Tell me.. tell me..

We're going to lose, guys..

Should I focus on all

this only, and not my job?

Not because of those against us..

And not because of those with us..

You expect us to come from

Mysore to get the charge sheet?

And you can't do it from there?

And he was your batch mate!

It's those on the fence,

who are waiting..

Waiting, for the other guy to start..

Look at him.. he's saying who are we?

He's right...who are we?

What are you talking? If the charge

sheet is not filed in ninety days..

..those bastards will get out on bail..

I know..

You know so what? What

are all these people doing?

And what are we doing?

Waiting.. waiting..waiting..

..and then day turns to night..

Hmm.. very nice madam..

You are doing a very good

job by establishing a Trust..

In the name of..

Manjunath.. Shan.. mugam.. right?

Yes..

Heh.. heh.. very nice..

You are related to him?

No.. is that necessary?

No, no.. just asking..

for my general knowledge..

And.. you want it done fast?

Yes.. actually, the

chargesheet is not yet filed and..

Oh.. yes, yes.. want fast..

everyone wants fast.. very good..

I can do it really

fast for you, today only..

Something to make it fast,

you should also do..

I mean to say.. you know

what I mean to say.. heh.. heh..

You want money?

Do you know, the boy on whose name

we are establishing this Trust..

..died because he didn't want

to get corrupt.. understand?

We are making the Trust

to carry on his work..

Do you get that? If you don't, I can

speak to your higher authorities..

Madam please..

What is this? They

want money for everything!

Let me talk!

Please.. I'm really sorry, madam..

You should be!

Oh.. you leave.. please leave..

your work will be done..

Don't worry, please go..

Uh.. I'll do the needful. Don't bother

And you should have

some shame, next time..

Thank you!

Good day..

That's not funny

He was actually..

Anyway, I spoke to Zaki Ahmad..

the chargesheet has been filed

Great!

But where will we get the

money to fight the case now?

..four thousand.. four thousand

..eight hundred.. five thousand..

and twenty..

So we only need about forty

nine lakhs, ninety four thousand..

.. nine hundred and twenty.. only..

- Very funny..

What's that? There..

I think.. It's a cheque..

Two thousand...

And it's from the same lady who had

sent us a thousand rupee cheque earlier..

..and we sent it back..

You should read this

You think only you have

a right over this boy?

Why did you send my money back?

I'm sending more this time..

..if you feel this is also too little..

I'll send more next time..

I really don't have a

lot of money, child..

I am an eighty year old woman..

I have come now to die

in an ashram in Haridwar..

I read about this boy in the paper..

At such a young age he

did something so big..

I felt like he was my son..

Like he fought for me..

He deserves justice

I know this is a very small amount..

But please accept this as an

auspicious beginning from an old woman..

Nothing can stop you..

this is my blessing

Got the entire battalion, Ms. Anjali?

This is l.B. sir.. our lawyer..

These are all llM students.

They were insisting that they

come along for every hearing..

We know this area very well, sir..

I know, I know..

That's good.. Let's go..

I'll never get convicted!

You think they're going to win this?

This case will go on for decades..

..but nothing will happen..

nothing happens to people like us..

Who cares about your conviction any more?

Golu, you're branded anyway now..

..as a murderer..

How do you think that

will make your father feel?

What did you get by doing this?

Are you happy?

My dad's proud of me now..

..people know him as my father..

Do you think your children would

be proud to have you as a father?

I'll tell you what..

You tell them to be

like me, not like you..

They'll be happy

It's a crime in which a person whose

duty was to check the petrol pumps..

..and to stop the

irregularities being committed..

..has been put to

death without provocation..

I don't know how to say this..

but thank you all very much..

It's OK.. I'm just doing my job..

Manju was also just doing his job..

The victim was unarmed when he

was put to death in a planned way..

The accused Golu Goyal, is

convicted and sentenced to death..

..for the crime

punishable under section 302..

.. read along with section 149 lPC..
