Raanjhanaa Page #8

Synopsis: The pundit's son Kundan (Dhanush) has fallen for the girl at first sight. That they're both kids makes us dismiss it as a meaningless crush. But a few years later, the boy is still in love with the girl, Zoya (Sonam Kapoor). When she's in school, he follows her around holding her hand and getting slapped in the process. Finally, she relents because of his "consistency". The film shifts cities when Zoya gets into JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University), and through her, we are introduced to the idealistic and political culture of the place. She discovers a long-lost strength as she confronts and then falls for student leader Akram (Abhay Deol). The film takes a turn when Zoya returns to her hometown after eight long years only to find some things changed, and others surprisingly the same.

Yes.

We will win! - AICP will win!

Vote for... - AICP!

Vote for... - AICP!

Vote for... - AICP!

- Hello uncle, aunty.

Vote for... - AICP!

- We're here.

Come along, sister-in-law

Stop hitting us.

Have you lost your mind?

Why are you hurling slippers at us.

Are you guys mad?

- Don't set foot in here.

Get lost.

We just want to talk.

We're against this

government as well.

We've formed a new party.

New or old, you're just

a bunch of thieves.

After the elections,

no one will even take a peek here.

I'll be damned if anyone does.

We just want to help.

Mother Teresa.

We don't want your help. Get out!

These rascals are here to help.

Hey! Keep that spade down.

Pick it up again and

I'll beat you to a pulp.

Better get going, or else

I'll start throwing slippers at you.

And humiliate you to death.

Kundan, where are you going?

- Just forget it.

Hey, what's this? - Hey.

Don't create a scene.

Or else I'll beat you.

You're such pathetic rascals,

to show this anger so late.

Thirty years ago, if your father

had shown the same anger...

...you wouldn't have been

living in this sh*t.

Yes, we're here to ask for your vote.

So what's wrong in that?

You've been giving your vote

for the last 60 years, aren't you?

So, this time give your vote to us.

What's going to happen?

At the most, you'll be the fool.

But, that you still are.

So, shall we leave...

...or pick up the shovel and help you.

The AICP members...

'The media had made us heroes,

so did fate.'

'This is when I realised...'

'...there's a huge dearth of leaders

in our country.'

'If they were listening to

a uncouth like me...'

'...they would listen to anyone.'

'But, I wasn't concerned

about the country.'

'All I cared about was me.'

'I was thinking,

if I can impress these AICP kids...'

'...then someday,

she'll see the light as well.'

'But, Zoya didn't like me one bit.'

'I was walking ahead.'

'I was getting on her nerves.'

'But, I didn't realise...'

'...when my success posed a threat

to the government.'

AICP party members nearly escaped

from being badly beaten.

After the Bhatta Parsol incident,

this is another victory...

...for AICP's youth party

in Sheelampur area.

There's less than a month

for the elections.

They're gaining good mileage.

They'll certainly win 10-12 seats.

Put up tents all around this place.

And, all the tents...

You don't need to

put up the tent, pal.

Work on your speech.

People only listen to you.

I will speak.

What's going on here?

Get out!

Take these out. - Why?

We've official permission.

- What permission?

We're the official.

You don't have our permission.

They can't just take it off?

- Take these out!

Look, sir, we...

- Has the government stooped so low?

Don't touch me,

or I'll have to take action.

Go ahead. Take action! - Zoya.

Beat us! - Zoya.

Stop, Zoya. - Move back.

Sir, please try to understand.

Sir! Sir! Sir!

You shouldn't raise your hand on women!

Did you record that? - Yes.

Do you want me to upload it?

That's okay. I'll handle it.

And, sir.

Even if we win 2 seats in the elections...

...you'll definitely get transferred.

Sir. We get orders too.

We've no personal enmity with you.

Sorry.

Whose orders?

Vinod Gupta.

We could've talked to

the inspector calmly.

Only 10 more days of campaning.

It's not a good idea to

get in a tiff with the police.

Come on, dear. Go home.

Study. Exams are close.

Him.

He'll be the leader of the masses!

Don't try to catch

the snake by the hood, Gupta...

...if it stings,

you'll be in deep trouble.

Let's go.

Where are you going, Mr. Gupta?

Let me tell you a joke.

Everything he does is right,

and what I do is wrong.

He's the undisputed

leader of the party.

We'll need his permission

for everything, right?

He'll give the speech.

Help us win the elections!

Let me congratulate you Kundan!

You must be really happy, you dog!

What else do you need?

Now, you've the position

of the man you killed.

And, now you want his girlfriend

to sleep with, right?

What else do you want?

I never cried over Jasjeet's death.

I wanted to dedicate my life

to fulfil his last dream.

That's all.

But, you can snatch that too.

Yes! He killed Jasjeet.

And you're cheering him!

Anant Srivastav!

This man killed him!

Go ahead, lick him!

You didn't just lose Jasjeet...

...or, you didn't lose just a friend.

I lost my brother.

That means I get to kill him first.

This man is our last hope.

You can choose power,

politics, position...

...over your brother's death.

Can you all forget the man

that formed this party?

His agenda wasn't just

winning the elections.

He had principles,

we believed in him.

And he died because of this man.

Honestly son, my son

passed because of you.

You made it possible.

Police?

- Why are they here?

Come on, son. Apoligise.

Apologise, or we'll break your bones.

Mr. Gupta. I never even

apologised to my father...

...when I made a mistake.

And now, it's not my mistake,

neither are you my father.

Beat him!

Stop. - Don't beat him.

Kundan, let him go.

Let Kundan go.

What are you thinking?

Say it

Thankfully Zoya said everything.

I couldn't have.

I should leave.

Look.

There are two types of leaders.

One, that likes to

dissolve the government.

And the other,

who'd like to make a government.

I knew Jasjeet better

than these two women!

He was the second type.

Stay.

But, this time

you've got to do something.

Madam.

That's a really nice gift for Kapil.

But, think Gupta.

If he bites us only for his ego.

Pees over the 2015 budget.

And bites every minister and official?

Sorry, madam. It was a mistake.

You've turned this into a chaos...

...and say it's a mistake.

Don't worry, I'll handle it.

The next five years...

...you will be handling that dog, Gupta.

You've enjoyed too many

privileges for too long.

Santram, take me to

St. George's Hospital.

Will you tell me

what this is all about?

Start from the very beginning.

It's the first time police

has entered JNU Campus.

And, your reaction?

Who said it's the first time?

It's happened before.

Madam, yours is a political party.

So, how can you operate

from a government institute.

The administration

doesn't have a problem...

...so, why do you?

Ms. Zoya, what was the

reason behind the scuffle.

Look. We are the victims here.

My friends are hurt.

Many have suffered broken bones!

Why don't you go to Mr. Gupta's office?

Why not raise this question

outside the Parliament?

We'll give a reply. But, not like this.

Not when we're beaten.

We'll do it on a stage.

And, on the top of our voice.

We're organizing a rally.

You're all invited.

Thank you. - Ma'am, please...

May I have a word with you, Zoya?

Alone?

Sad about Jasjeet.

I often heard about him.

I met him once.

At the ISC Conference.

He was an intelligent boy.

- He did tell me.

He said you're

quite intelligent as well.

So, how can you be so stupid?

She has come.
