It's such a sad situation...

that of the undertrials.

Vwhy is our legal system so slow?

Innocent people like us get ground

in the grinder of legal machinery.

The Sainani band is absolutely.

We take our freedom for granted.

India won its freedom

with great difficulty.

But still we don't value our freedom.

3 of them have already been

caught and they are in the jail.

The police is very confident that

they will arrest Sanju

and Bindu also very soon.

It remains to be seen whether

the slogan "Arrest us all"

will die the death of a thousand

other such slogans.

Or will its echo get freedom

for the Sainanis?

SW mere are Sanyu and Emu?

Let's just say they are safe.

they are fine.

Sir. did you meet them at the concert?

No.

I watched the whole

incident on the news.

Seeing your Bindu and Sanjws guts.

I felt their bold questions

should be answered.

They deserve it.

That's why I am here.

Sm are you sure?

We don't even have money

to buy you a cup of tea.

Look.

After watching the news.

I got emotional.

That's why I have come here.

But all said and done.

I am essentially a lawyer.

$0 after your release.

when your first concert takes place.

I'll extract my fees

from your first cheque.

I'm kidding!

Free of cost means free of cost

Don't worry.

Until the trial date. during the time

my clients have to stay in thejail.

They should not be tortured or else...

Don't worry M r. Vachani.

Those things don't

happen here anymore.

Trusla has a newlaer

I was just following

the Minister's orders.

He said 'the wave shouldn't die'.

Otherwmise you think I am crazy to

send them to the mall for shopping?

Yes sir!

Sir. what do I do with this?

Lefs go

Papa. do you know you're

trending again. #Hitler Dnulia.

That's what people are calling you.

After hearing Naveen

VachanFs arguments.

The High Court had permitted

a fast track hearing

ofthe Samar Band members max:

The trial's been

going on for 15 days...

and today the verdict

will be announced.

Court is expected to give the verdict

for Sainani Band today.

All their supporters are waiting

here with a nervous excitement.

Three of my clients

have committed crimes.

They have even confessed

They've already spent

more time injail

than the maximum possible sentence.

Then whyTe they not being released?

WmyTe they not getting justice?

Two of them. have not even

committed a crime

but because of the system.

They've lost precious

years of their lives.

Vwho are the culprits in this case?

Politicians. Police-officers.

Jail-authorities. Lawyers like me...

and Judges like yourself.

Notjust on behalf of my clients.

But also on behalf of their families.

On behalf of thousands and thousands

of undertrials locked up in ourjails.

On behalf of the citizens

of our country. I ask you.

Who is the real culprit?

Them

or the Law?

What happened?

They have been released.

They are all free.

They are all free!

The Samams are fortunate that

an expensive lawyer like Naveen

Vachani fought their case.

Convinced by Vachanis

incisive arguments.

The court has acquitted

all five Sainanis.

As per rules.

the five of them will be released

from the jail tomorrow morning.

After spending one last night in jail.

the Samar Band WM be free forever

lam. I am. I am. I am. I am India!

I am. I am. I am. I am. I am India!

I am. I am. I am. I am. I am India...

What a rrurade

Quick trial. Swift acquittal.

Your songs have brought

down the whole system!

Jailer Dhulia must be cursing

himself for creating a band.

Vachani fought your case.

Victory was certain.

I wish we also had Vachani.

If we did. then we too could have

gotten released.

He wouldn't fight for people like us!

At least good luck favored you.

You got selected in the band

and got famous!

We didn't get famous that's

why we'll never be free.

Never mind all that.

you just stay happy!

Mr. Poet! Your life is sorted.

Now let's see when our fate shines!

I am. I am. I am. I am. I am India!

I am. I am. I am. I am. I am India!

and formed a band out of us.

The band became our

But before that I want to you all

to meet my best friend.

My best mend Guddm

mm Guddws mother

Guddu was barmy two years oh!

When his father got me

falsely convicted

for murder and we were sent to jail.

Today. finally Guddu

and I've been released.

Thank you to all of you

for contributing to our release.

Wmen you come to listen

to the Sainanis and donate cash.

The Sainanis use the money

to pay for lawyers

and other legal expenses

for poor undertrials like me.

Buying Guddu milk.

was so difficult for me in the jail.

Affording legal fees.

would've been impossible!

$0 please keep listening

to the Sainanis

and keep supporting our fight

to free Freedom.

Thank you!

We've cut the threads of harsh light.

And have stitched up the sun's mouth.

We've stitched it all up.

We've dissolved the night stars.

And have drank the moon

We've drank it all.

We've merged the morning with evening.

We've woken up from our dreams.

And we've managed to free light!

Fly away my friend. Break free!

Fly away my friend. Break free!

You fly away too.

Yes you must too.

Break free!

Break free!

The ocean is not enough.

It fears our thirst.

But we've instead the

waves from the storms.

And made our home.

Wave made the Work! our home

We've removed hate.

Filled hearts with hope.

And we've managed to free love!

Fly away my friend. Break free!

Fly away my friend. Break free!

You fly away too.

Yes you must too.

Break free!

You fly away too.

Yes you must too.

Break free!

Break free!
