Take Haryana, Bihar, Mumbai,

or anyplace in lndia...

there are Mohan Joshi's everywhere.

Mohan Joshi's in you and me.

Mohan Joshi's hanging today

will be a hanging for all of us!

lt'll be the death

of a common man.

Should we remain silent today,

all one billion of us...

will be responsible for

the slaying of a single man!

Let's forget slogans...

and do what we must!

lndia will not be great,

if we only raise slogans.

lt'll achieve greatness only when

all of us go to the Central Jail...

and oppose the hanging.

Do not waste time thinking...

Heed your feelings today!

The feelings of an lndian.

l'm leaving with my friends

to save a common man.

Should l succumb midway...

through my mission...

l will surely look behind me...

to find out whether

l'm all alone.

l'll deal with you, swine!

l've found them, sir.

They were hiding there.

Hiding, eh?

The revolutionary hero?

You were a TV journalist and

you're now a leader, eh?

Take her away!

Get up, Ajay...

Look! We're not alone!

We're not the only ones!

The only way we can survive

is by killing the old man!

Once he's dead, his interview

will have no importance.

We have his signed confessions.

So call the jailor!

No. l'll personally go to

the jail to have him hanged!

l can't trust anyone anymore!

- We've got a call through, sir.

What the hell are

you cops doing?!

Ajay Bakshi has raised

a bloody storm!

Clamp a curfew and order firing!

Let there be a carnage!

No one must reach the prison!

Quick! Let's go!

You will open fire, okay?

Come no closer!

This is a warning!

Another step forward

and you'll be shot!

l have shoot-at-sight orders.

Halt there!

No... l can't fire

at our Tricolour, sir.

This isn't what l

joined the force for.

Commissioner?

This is the Governor here.

What's happening in the city?

eople have taken to the streets

... who are they?

Which political party

do they belong to?

Are they Hindus? Muslims?

They're neither Hindus

nor Muslims today, sir...

all of them are just lndians.

- So what needs to be done?

l will do what l should, sir.

Why isn't the old man dead?

- lt's not yet eleven, sir.

lt's already Eleven!

- The Court ordered...

l'm the Court and the Law today!

Go fetch him!

Galaxy TV and KTV take you on

Mohan Joshi's lastjourney.

What must he be thinking...?

How must he be feeling?

Would you like to say something?

Mohan Joshi is quiet and silent...

but today will be the

last day of his life.

We'll show you his lastjourney...

the deadly show!

The hanging of Mohan Joshi!

Do something... save him!

lease save him!

Hang him... Go on!

- Quick!

Let them through.

Stop the hanging!

The Governor's orders, sir...

he wants an enquiry instituted.

l haven't received the orders.

Come after five minutes. Go away!

Stop him!

Wait there, ladies and gentlemen!

And listen to me!

Ajay Bakshi is a liar!

He's making up stories!

l am your elected leader...

l'll tell you the truth!

Listen to me...

l'm the Chief Minister!

We made the mistake of

making you the C.M.

Give it to them!

The CM's being slippered!

Keep the cameras rolling!

Are they... all here for me?

- Yes. They're here for the truth.

May l say something to them?

- Of course. Get up.

ass the mike, someone.

You folks have given me

a new lease of life.

l'm grateful to all of you...

to each one of you.

What l have realised today...

is that we lndians...

are not a herd gone wayward!

We're an independent

and good people!

May the Truth Triumph!

l have something to say.

- l want a word in first.

He always asked me
