it will be his final journey'

you torched his castle, and

he has no idea what hit him!

Do it and watch the fun.

Right, sir.

And the circus begins!

'Raees' open threat: If pasha takes out a

procession, it will be his final journey'

- hello?

- Are you crazy

to issue an open

challenge in the media?

I didn't speak to the press.

Pasha has dug his own grave

I told you not to make a fuss. Just

sell liquor. Leave politics to me.

Hang up!

Shutters down!

Keep your vehicles off the road!

The procession is coming this way.

Please maintain peace!

- Are you ready?

- Yes, we are!

Let's see who is man enough

to stop this procession!

Who is man enough?

It's the call of gujarat!

Victory to pasha bhai!

Close the shops!

Deploy the barricades!

Keep people off!

The procession is passing

through raees' neighbourhood.

- Situation under control.

- Copy.

Down with the government!

Down with the government!

Let's see who is man enough to

stop pasha bhai's procession!

Let's see who is man enough!

It's the call of gujarat!

Victory to pasha bhai!

Down with the government!

Let's see who is man enough to

stop pasha bhai's procession!

Let's see who is man enough!

It's the call of gujarat!

Victory to pasha bhai!

To war!

Turn around!

Go!

Hack him!

Start shelling! Fire!

I warned you

not to pass through

my neighbourhood.

It hampers my business.

Now you know

who is man enough!

Who's the real man!

Who's the real man!

Swine!

Raees lived up to his challenge.

What action will you take now?

Look, we...

Swati trivedi, maha gujarat times.

Raees is your friend while

pasha bhai is your rival.

Did raees act on your orders?

Gujarat politics hasn't stooped so low.

The police are doing their job.

You don't let the police do their job.

Are majmudar's frequent transfers

due to your proximity with raees?

Raees will be in jail

within the next 24 hours.

- Is that a promise, mr cm?

- Sir!

Yes? Go on.

Why should I go to jail?

Send pasha to jail. He

created all the mess.

What about my business?

I'll give you all the

facilities in jail.

Do your business from jail.

Who stops you?

Oh, really?

I'll have you released

when you tell me.

It's only a matter of a few days.

Is that a promise? I'm with you.

Don't worry.

- Salaam, bhai.

- Waleikom asalaam.

- Hello? Who is it?

- It's me.

At this hour? Is all well?

I'm missing you.

Liar.

Listen. We made

22,000 in cash today.

That's not what I called you for

I told you, I'm missing you.

Really?

Really? Only 22,000? Darn it!

Freaking duffer!

Business meant life to you.

And finally, they traded you.

Pasha and the chief minister

have joined hands. Take a look.

'Coalition politics

completely wipes out raees'

I told you

to get used to tea

at the cop station.

Get ready to contest

the elections.

Raees, politics is not meant for us.

I'm arranging bail for you.

The winds blow south, sadiq.

To be free again, i

must win the elections.

Is it easy to win elections?

We'll need votes as well as cash.

You organise the cash

I'll garner the votes.

Raees has done a

lot for the people.

We'll surely win the elections.

Listen carefully! He is raees.

He's a class apart.

Love him, and he'd even

give up his life for you.

Act smart, and you'll

see the worst of him.

That's raees.

That's raees.

He's as fearless as a warrior

and as shrewd as a merchant.

As cool as a cucumber

yet as fierce as fire.

Right or wrong,

business is his faith.

Business is his first love.

That's raees.

That's raees.

He is raees.

He's a class apart.

Bail granted.

Raees registers an historical

victory in fatehpura.

None of his rivals could

even save his deposit.

That's raees.

The name's raees.

He is raees.

He's a class apart.

I told you, you'd be the first

to see our world when I make it

- I'll show you today.

- Really?

Look.

Over here.

In a straight line,

on both sides,

tall houses are standing.

Children are flying

kites on the roof.

The sky is enveloped with kites.

And...

Over there... no,

right behind you,

there's an English-medium school.

Children are speaking

fluent English.

Good morning, miss ratna.

Here...

A hospital in

memory of my mother.

The parsi doctor

will be in-charge

I'm sure he'll still

charge only 2 bucks.

Aasiya, the air will be

rich with everything here.

There will be no

fear of starvation

or the curse of poverty.

The mornings will

be spent feasting

while the nights in celebration.

Amen.

Amen.

It's a fantastic scheme, raees.

- Right, friends?

- Of course.

But the amount is too

big for all of us.

Qasim, who is asking

for the entire amount?

You don't need to pay

the entire amount now.

You have to pay only

half the amount.

And the rest in ten years.

You can pay in monthly instalments

for the next ten years.

Is ten years too short a period?

Don't worry, don't

be apprehensive

I guarantee you. This is my

neighbourhood, you are my people.

You own your house from

the very first day.

All of you will get the deeds of agreement.

I guarantee you that.

Your word is final. Let's do it.

'Our world'

'our world'

salaam aleikom.

Mr majmudar! It's been so long.

Tell me. Are you here to meet

me or to conduct a raid?

Well, rest assured. Everything

is legal about our world.

Liquor pays for the construction.

What could be more legal?

Luck favours you these days.

Days and nights are meant

for people, mr majmudar.

Lions rule for ages.

Try tea from our world.

Come here, kid.

It might change your perception.

Cheers.

To me, you are still the same.

I have changed a

bit, mr majmudar.

You can't tap this politician's phones now.

No, no.

I don't need to listen

to your phones anymore

I'm here as the superintendant

of police, crime.

Trust me,

I had no hand in your

transfer this time.

Honestly

I know.

All your hands are tied.

That's why I came here

to reason with you.

Make sure you don't

give me an opportunity.

Never. I never gave you one.

Hang on, sp.

If you say, here, in our world,

I'll book an apartment for you

I'll book a place for you

in my world.

He won the elections yesterday, and

today he is building our world.

Raees is going to be labelled a messiah!

Sir,

you have an urgent

call from Delhi.

Yes?

What?

- Turn on the TV.

- Sure.

Yes, sir?

In uttar pradesh, rioters

targeted a train

carrying passengers

returning from hajj.

Several people are

being reported killed.

The incident has provoked communal

riots in many parts of the country.

Police have imposed indefinite

curfew in several districts

I don't want riots in my city.

You will handle zone 1, shambu.

Zone 2 is the most sensitive.

Majmudar, you will take charge there.

Sir.

Ten days of curfew has brought

the entire state to a standstill.

People have little access to

food, water, milk or medicines.

- Give this to aunt laxmi.

- Sure.

Listen. This is

for dulari's baby.

Deliver the bottle of

milk to her right away.
