to each department

One, an experienced elder.

The other is young and zealous

Laws, we have for everything,

but nothing is implemented

Corruption rules the roost.

No matter how much we might try...

governance will be an effort in vain.

We must find out whatrs wrong. Why?

We mustpunish the guilty, we must

correct. Irve thought out a way

Complaint box.

The facility already exists

If wrong is still being done, then

itrs because itrs out of reach...

for the common man. Werll have a

separate Department of Complaints

It will function under

my supervision

Complaint boxes will be placed in

every village, at every crossroad

Water, electricity,

potholes on roads...

errant civil servants taking bribes,

including me, if I err

Without fear, you shall complain.

Action will be taken in 24 hours

No matter how big the problem,

it will be settled in a week

The day I find complaint boxes empty,

lrll know lrve given good governance

The day I find complaint boxes empty,

lrll know lrve given good governance

This upstart has ruined all

the parties in one husting

As long as hers in chair,

we canrt do anything

Irm thinking of going back

to the chilli trade in Kolhapur

Even selling chillies will get tough.

He has set sleuths after us...

Iooking into unaccounted incomes.

Out of nowhere he has dug out...

800 cases, out of old files.

He wonrt rest till he sees me...

rotting in jail.

Must do something about him

Pandu, fix him

Keep this.

- What is it?

Who knows? Shivaji sends

For the village lass! Cellphone?

What do I do?

Press rrOkayrr

Talk

That way

How are you Manjari?

- You still remember me?

Silly! How can you talk like that?

Of all the bouquets lrve received...

I wept when I saw yours.

Irm pining to see you

No one can stop me. But such is the

responsibility, that I canrt leave

I called Patil so many times.

Your father took the calls

And he said you werenrt at home

and he hung up on me

Thatrs why I sent you a cellphone.

Whenever you wish to talk, call me

Will you never come to see me again?

lrm coming on Sunday

Sunday is 5 days and 6 nights away!

What if something happens...?

Daddy is looking for a government

employee for me. Anything from...

postman to a vaccine centre worker,

to an electrician, veterinarians...

Irm so scared.

Donrt worry. Very soon...

Sir, the infotech people

are waiting

Irll talk later, Manjari

I want to talk to him.

- Whors him? Therers a 36 men here

Including me. Who do you want?

lrm Manjari

You shouldrve said so. One minute

Call for you.

- Who is it?

Lizzy.

Say lrll call later

Hers busy. Herll call later

Topi, Manjari speaking.

Topi here, loud and clear! Howdy?

Bad. Get him on line.

Hers talking lT with the Japanese

Irll tell him when hers free.

Everyone says, no one does

Neither does he call. If he wonrt

talk to me, why send me a phone?

Chief ministers are like that.

Their time isnrt theirs

Manjari, whatrs this sound?

- What sound?

My ears arenrt ringing.

Let me have it

Where did this come from?

I ask you, where from?

Gave it to me.

- Who...?

He

He spurned you for politics!

And you still talk to him?

What have you?

Vegetables, what else?

Open up

Sure, lrm not carrying a bomb

All right, 1000 Rupees.

- 1000? What for?

Bringing stuff into Mumbai

for the first time?

You got to pay tax to get in.

But therers no tax on vegetables

Donrt argue. This is private tax.

Everyone pays up

If I donrtpay?

The stuff doesnrt go in

But you land in jail.

Show your permit

Yes

I apologise! I made a mistake!

Please forgive me

What yourre doing is betrayal. For

every cent you extract as bribes...

traders recover in five-fold.

The result is inflation

Consumers are crushed.

Arrest him

Shoot him.

No, take him away

Traffic diverted

Irm travelling to that village

on personal work. Why so many cars?

A single car is enough.

The entourage follows you

So much money being spent

on my security?

Irm not repeating the mistakes

of my predecessors

None of your predecessors were

on hit lists. You are

Itrs our duty to provide you with

complete security. You are...

public property. Werre more worried

for your life than your privacy

You are riding car number three

In that case, lrm going nowhere

Hi Manjari, howdy? Doing fine?

Rule says, one foot earth,

half a foot deep pebbles

Two inches of asphalt, and use

the road roller five times

Rains keep washing this road out.

Make sure it lasts five years

Else, lrll flay you alive. Get it?

Shivaji Rao rules. Remember

Yes Mr Public

Thatrs what has become of us.

Paupers are about to flay us

In the land of virtues,

therers no evil. Shivaji rules

How go these bangles?

Great stuff. Glass, from Ferozabad

May bangles chime, may gold and

silver shower while Shivaji reigns

No, thatrs nothing. Give me that.

- These?

Yes

Problem.

- What?

I forgot my money.

Can I give you next time?

I donrt even know you

Do you know me now?

Am I familiar?

Chief Minister!

Donrt scream

Irm on personal business.

Please donrt tell anyone

Hers in Phulgaon. In disguise

Keep an eye on him.

Irll be there

Keep this.

- Thanks

By my mother! What an opportunity!

But not a photographer in sight

Will you give me an autograph?

- On what?

Here

On the beaten track

walk the cowards

Off the beaten track tread

the brave, the poets, our true sons

Coming on Sunday! Forgotten?

You keep promises you make to others

But Manjari means nothing to you?

Pest

Anyone at home?

- No one

Who says? Sheghost?

Where are you going?

Who are you?

What insolence is this?

No insolence. Irm upto mischief

What mischief are you upto?

First, lrll caress your lips

Then lrll bit you under the throat

Irll pinch your waist,

then a small rape

Okay, go on

Shameless! Yourve shaken me!

Pest! With the headgear...

and whiskers, you think I wonrt

recognise you? Out with it

Got my girl

Why a getup like this?

Manjari, lrm just your Shivaji now

No files, no meetings, no Bansal,

no police, no Topi. Irm spending...
