Qaidi Band Page #7

I'll also sing sir.

Good Very good

Rawat. let go of him.

So. have you heard of

the band - Middle Finger?

They're coming here.

They saw your Independence Day

programme on TV.

They want to do a show

with you in the jail!

Even they're all excited about

the fad of 'prisoner upliftment'.

None of you dare share

your case stories with them.

They're a famous band.

Learn music from them!

- Rawat!

- Yes.

Don't cry. M askeen.

W:
wk.

Don't cry. be strong Maskeen.

Why mu you refuse to 5mg?

If we sing and practice every/day.

at least we'll get to meet every day.

Means u mam.

To sing duets about everlasting

love and build love-castles?

Dhulia will keep cancelling

our hearings...

...and you keep snorting

the love-opium!

M eat every may m; mm

Wow. every/thing's so neat and clean!

It's like a resort.

Ms. Roza. we're notjailers

from the British era.

Prisoners are not ill-treated

like they depict in movies.

Rigorous labour. abuse. torture.

none of that happens here.

Really?

By the way. what does the name

Middle Finger mean?

Err... the finger you play the guitar

with. the middle finger.

Nice.

$0 Freedom-Fighter's

Band (Sainanis)...

If youjam with us. you can create

much better music.

So. what themes do you want

to make songs on?

Any was?

Rm? Emu? Sanyu?

Have you ever thought of escape?

Let's make a song aboutjail-break?

Please!

It provokes my dreams.

It awakens my dreams.

It doesn't let me rest.

It ignites my dreams.

This struggle to break free.

Every moment is a struggle.

Each moment in this quick-sand.

Stirs and struggles.

Struggles. struggles.

To break free. struggles.

Struggles. struggles.

Every moment struggles.

Each moment. stuck in my veins

cries and struggles.

Struggles. struggles.

To break free. struggles.

Struggle. struggle.

It ignites every breath.

ames every breath

Does not let me burn out.

yet burns every breath

Each moment. each breath- A struggle.

Each moment. each breath- A struggle.

My dream simmers in each vein.

It boils and stirs to struggle.

Struggles. struggles.

To break free. struggles.

Each dream of ours. is a struggle.

It provokes my dreams.

It awakens my dreams.

It doesn't let me rest.

It ignites my dreams.

In each moment. in each

breath- is the Struggle.

In each moment. in each

breath- is the Struggle.

It's emerging.

It's enraging.

It's bubbling-

this struggle.

This struggle to explode.

Struggle to break free.

It's raising its head.

It's coming undone.

It's leaping forth. this struggle.

This struggle to break free.

This struggle to break free.

To y away

To break free. struggles.

Amazing show M r. Dhulia.

Thank you

Don't let this wave die.

Never sir. never.

You guys have no idea

how popular you've become.

Your song 'I am India' has become

an anthem. it's everywhere!

It's really really sad.

If you weren't in jail. you would've

been a yery decent band.

Se. will you guys get

released by next week?

God only knows when we'll be released.

That's really sad.

because next M onday.

There's a huge rock band

competition... Rook Roads.

I really wish you guys

couldwe participated.

I am 100% sure you would've

won the Best Band...

and the first prize of 5 Million.

Right Valley?

Maybe

Because we can't

participate this year.

You see we were the

winners last three years.

How much is the prize?

5 Million.

And who knows this year

it oouldwe been you - Sainanis.

Dhulia sir has asked you

to come to his office...

...for a photo-op with the Minister.

Phase come

Meet me when you get out

I will help you in every possible way.

5 Million. Ogu!

Ya we can buy new drum kit.

synth. guitars.

From tomorrow. it's back to

that torn drum and out of tune organ.

Dhulia can't even get us

a few new instruments!

Vwhat an idea you guys have triggered!

What ma?

To vanish!

Vanish?

To fly away from jail!

What ma?

Have you gone mad?

I will not let you do this.

I won't let you break out ofjail.

We don't have any other choice.

Do we?

Uncle. at least listen to the plan.

- You're out of your mind!

- Bindu. c'r'non lock up time!

Rest of you pack up and bring

the stuff to Dhulia Sir's office.

Bindu. I'll tell you tomorrow...

the plan for the new song.

Sir. if we also have the kind

of instruments they have.

Our songs can be as good as theirs.

Even better than Middle Finger songs!

But the torn drum and out-of-tune

keyboards make us sound outdated.

Not like Middle Finger.

Man want to hear

our outdated songs?

Rawat take this list.

get these instruments today.

Yes sir.

Sir. it's not like buying

batons or handcuffs...

how will Rawat sir

get the instruments?

The instruments will

need to be tested.

Tuning. bass. scale.

Trams

Where WM \ nd a musxc expert

mla?

Sir. if you don't mind

we can go to buy them.

How can \ send you?

Sir. so many people go on

month-long paroles.

No way. Undertrials are not

allowed parole.

Sir. we'll go in the morning and corne

back by evening with the instruments.

Sir. without the right instruments

our songs will sound...

like a curry without garnish...

like a husband without wife...

like a jail without it's jailor.

Like...

You know best sir.

Are you done?

Q.

m,

Raw/at

Yes sir.

Take them to city mall tomorrow

and buy them instruments.

And go in a private van.

not in thejailjeep.

- Okay sir. Long Live India.

- Long Live India!

You're up before dawn-prayers?

Good. I'll pray for you.

Uncle. just hear me out uncle.

You guys stay away from me please.

You stirred the struggle

to break free.

And now you don't

want to be a part of it?

It was just a thought.

acting on it will get us killed.

We're dying here anyway uncle.

Hey Mr. Poet. what's new?

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

We're innocent. if we stay injail.

There's a chance that

we'll be set free one day.

But if we run. we'll forever be scared

of the police catching us.

At least here. there's no fear...

there's freedom.

Don't do it. please.

What freedom \s m?

Do you hear yourself.

what are you saying?

Say bye to Bmdu
