l'm the one on whose strength you're

running this channel and business!

You live off my name

and hard work!

Make any mistake...

but don't ever suffer

from illusions, son.

Who do you think you are?

l can deliver 10 more Ajay Bakshis!

The one who's on TV is the star.

That's the rule of television!

l'll make them pay you for

the tape you have, feller.

l'd be happy to see you make

money... how much do you want?

Enough!

l'm not here to strike a deal today.

Nor am l here to sell myself.

l've come here to

get back my freedom.

But don't think l've been defeated.

l will save Baba somehow.

Make sure you save yourself!

Hot-blooded youngster!

...you'll always be welcome, Ajay!

Make a call to the CM.

Haven't you taken enough

of beating, old man?!

Where's the tape?

Tell me!

You, sir?!

Have you got the tape?

- He doesn't seem to know about it.

So what are you doing with him

if he doesn't know where it is?!

Dua and my government will both be

sunk if the tape isn't found!

You knew what to do with him!

Go away, Commissioner!

You're not a novice!

You know what is to be done!

Get Ajay, if this old man

doesn't know where the tape is!

lf he doesn't speak,

get hold of the girl!

lf they still don't sing...

you know what this is, don't you?!

Kill them, so the matter

will be buried forever!

No! Don't kill them!

l'll tell you...

but you mustn't kill them!

l'll tell you where the tape is.

l know where it is!

Don't kill them...

l'll give it to you in writing!

l will also put in writing

that l'm a terrorist...

just don't kill my kids!

lease don't do that!

l will do anything you say...

don't kill my children!

The tape is missing, Ajay!

Here's the tape, sir. He

has signed a statement we dictated.

Keep this document with you.

Keep this tape carefully, Kaka.

- Me?

l live in government accommodation...

anything could happen.

Why mustn't we destroy the tape?

- No!

Dua does not know this tape exists.

He mustn't be told either.

l'm with you, sir!

lf Ramakant Dua as much as

thinks of toppling my government...

l can use this tape to

make him dance to my tunes!

l see the point, sir.

oliticians can't be trusted.

- You're right, sir.

We can do another

interview, riya.

They've got the tape, Baba.

l don't know how...

lt was l who gave them the tape.

- You?!

Why did you give it to them? lt...

- Relax, Ajay.

Look at his condition.

Are you okay, Baba? They haven't...

- Wait a moment, Rhea.

We can do another interview, Baba.

- What for? l'm really a terrorist.

l am really a terrorist.

- Don't say such things!

We can try to...

- Don't try anything.

Ask me any number of times and

l'll repeat ''l'm a terrorist'' !

No! You're not a terrorist!

You are committing suicide!

We didn't extend support

to pull out halfway through!

We don't have the tape, okay!

But we can do another interview!

We'll have it shown on other channels

or published in the newspapers!

Can you bring back my daughter?

Can you give me back

my daughter?

You can't! You don't understand!

They're very powerful people!

eople like me are always sacrificed

in this game of power and money!

lt makes no difference if one man

from a billion is dead!

lt does make a difference

to us, Baba.

Make them see reason, Laxmi!

We have lost our daughter...

we can't lose our children again!

l know you will grieve

at my decision...

but you do understand, don't you?

- Yes.

Make them see reason.

lease take care of Laxmi

after l'm dead.

No, Baba...

We won't look after her.

You will!

You will look after

all of us!

Mohan Joshi, who has links with the

terrorist group, the lSQ,...

has admitted to killing of top

leaders and spreading terrorism.

Keeping in view the security

of the country, this court...

pronounces death by hanging

for the terrorist.

Are you crazy to telecast the

old man's hanging live, Kaka?

You mean people will sit in their

drawing rooms and watch him hang?

ls this a joke?

lt has never happened before!

Why not? Don't people watch

wars on television?

Aren't the fights in arliament

telecast live, too?

We can rake in millions, sir!

Think of the ads we'll get!

Sponsors are willing to

pay for anything sensational.

Be it cricket, a war

or even a hanging!

Chinoy is right.

eople in the country know that the

old man is a foreign terrorist.

We'll say `this is what will befall

anyone who dares eye our country!'

No...

All right. Let's make his hanging

an event of national interest.

We will set a precedent and history

will remember our government...

for showing firmness in

handling the country!

Make the announcement!

A hanging will be telecast live...

in the world's largest

democracy... glory to lndia!

Look at this, sir.

A new idea to sell hair-dyes!

Great! l want a huge poster...

l've taken a lot of money from them.

Will my product sell

after the hanging?

l'll personally it, feller!

Just give me the cheque!

lt's a true story, sir...

- l know.

eople in the media can accept

small frauds... not such a truth!

Your newspaper will have a better

image if you publish this story.

l understand business, Ajay.

l can't go against the government!

The CM's call, sir.

- Yes, Mr CM ?

Have you collected enough?

- What an understatement, sir!

We've made enough for

seven generations!

Let there be a hanging

every year, God!

Should you telecast this item

on your channel, sir...

we might be able to save Baba.

- Why don't you understand?!

Will Mohan Joshi support me if

Ramakant Dua sues me for defamation?

That man you're fighting for

is not willing to support you.

So how can l endanger my

channel worth 2 billion?!

Baba's scared, sir...

- l'm scared too. So what do l do?

What are you running this

office for? Shut it down!

You don't care for a man's life

and talk about millions!

What's wrong with you? Why vent

your anger on someone else?

Why did you shout at him?

- What else can l do?

An innocent man is being killed

and we're just watching!

And we've lost that tape;

the crucial evidence!

Think calmly. There is someone who

can help us retrieve the tape.

Who can help us, Rhea?!

- That publicity hound, the don.

The tapes are in there, appu...

- Shut you, you cheat!

This man betrayed me!

He came in the disguise of a Chinese!

He even brought a girl along!

Such are the things he does!

He has made me an object of ridicule

in the underworld, you know.

Don't you trust me, appu?

- Sure, l do, sis...

l will get the publicity, won't l?

- Sure you will...

The house belongs to a politician!

You're robbing the thieves!

Shut up, or l'll whack you!

- What can be more sensational?

Go ahead and steal

the tape... please.

Very well, sis...

l'll do it for you.

Where's the tape? Tell me!

l know it's in the farmhouse...

but l can't say where.

l could shoot you, you...!

What kind of a sidekick are you?!

How will we find the tape

in such a big farmhouse?

Where would you keep the tape,
