Really Dad?|Is there a way out?

Of course.

You don't have|to do this...

Sukhi, this might|end badly.

Without you guys it will|end for me anyway...

Idiot.

Ajay's death, won't go in vain,|Ma. I promise you.

This is Rahul, and you've tuned|in to yourfavourite radio show...

Hey Karan!|What're you doing here?

We need a favour.

Sure!

I need you to|put us on air.

Put you on air?

Yeah, now!

That's impossible man...|I'll lose my job.

...as it is, they|don't pay me.

It's payback time.

Hey! Whateveryou say DJ!|It's your station.

Gun... He's got a gun!

Karan you go in.|I'll handle it.

Keep the show on.|Don't mess with us.

Come on... leave.

Paaji is anyone inside?

Uncleji run. Don't stop.

Gun... Security he's got a gun!

Don't be a wise guy.

Everybody leave!|Out! Move!

Don't panic we won't|harm anyone.

Move! Move! Move!

Hurry up, quick!

The time is 6:
05 a.m. And you're listening|to "The night is still young".

Today I've got a|surprise guest foryou.

An old friend of mine Karan Singhania, who just|dropped in to say something to all of you...

My name is Karan Singhania... My friends|and I... we killed the Defence Minister...

I repeat we killed|the Defence Minister...

Ravi take me to the radio|station quickly. Hurry up!

We are not terrorists. We aren't|backed by any foreign organisation.

We don't even belong to|any political group...

We're just five students|from Delhi University.

We killed the|Defense Minister because...

...he murdered ourfriend Flight Lieutenant Ajay|Rathod and many other Air Force pilots...

We killed him because after he|murdered Ajay, he murdered his name...

Ajay's mother, right now,|is fighting for her life...

A Defence Minister is supposed to|safegaurd a nation. Not sell it.

Men like the Defence Minister|aren't just above the law... they control it.

We killed him because someone|had to say, "Enough!".

We might be wrong...

...because its a sin to|kill someone.

But we couldn't tolerate it anymore.

Today we are here to confess to our sin.

Today we are here to tell everybody|that something has to be done

It's got to be done.

We've just received news that Defence Minister's|assassins are hiding in All India Radio building.

Karan Singhania and his friends are still|with us. Listeners can call in on 3291777.

Until then, here is|"Roobaroo"

It's done.

Hey, dude!

I just realized.

There's a fire|burning within me.

It's a new dawn,

I can feel its light

Burn so bright, I could,|scorch the sun

'Cause I'm face to face|with the light

The dream I once lost,|I've found.

It's blooming,

it's melting,

notes re-arranging,

into a whole new melody.

Will they give us|good food in jail?

Food?|Next he'll want beer.

You guys have become famous. Calls are|pouring in from all overthe country.

Come on!|They want to talk to you...

Police!

This is unreal man. Where|did they come from?

This will ruin my career...

Shut up!

Karan you get on air...|We don't have much time...

Take care.

The Delhi police have reached the spot and are|rescuing civilians trapped in the building.

...reporting from|Mumbai's Churchgate area...

...reporting from|Cotton College, Guwahati.

...reporting from|S. P. College, Srinagar...

...reporting from|Lucknow University...

Hi, my name is Prakash.|And I want to congratulate you.

You did the right thing by killing him.|All our ministers should be lined up and shot.

Prakash, who all|will you shoot?

These corrupt ministers are a reflection|of our society. We've chosen them.

We need to change ourselves|to bring about a change.

Hello! This is|Principal Sharma from Indore...

You have set a terrible example by|taking the law into your own hands.

You're right sir.|We're sorry.

But give me the name of one|politician who has gone to jail for his crimes.

Who else is on|your hit-list? I

We have no hit-list.

How do you feel after|killing the Defence Minister?

We did not kill him out|of any blood lust...

If you get caught you'll be hanged.|Aren't you afraid?

No.

The college students who|have claimed responsibility...

...are still inside.

Karan, while we applaud your courage,|do you think you'll escape?

If we wanted to escape, we wouldn't|have been here in the first place.

Sh*t! They're shooting at us DJ!|They're shooting at us!

Shut up for a second!

They're mistaking us forterrorists.|They think we're armed.

Wait a minute!|I'll try to handle it.

No Sukhi!|What did you do!

Sh*t DJ! Just when I was getting|good with the girls...

My name is Indra. What's the difference|between you and a terrorist?

There's a big difference.|Terrorists kill innocent people. We didn't...

Aslam, close|the door. Quick!

We are not terrorists.|Why don't they...

It's not a lust for blood...|it's a matter of justice!

Why are bullets being used when its|clearthat these are college students?

No matter what you do, this country|will never change. It has no future.

No country is perfect.|You've got to make it perfect.

Join the police,|military, IAS...

Become a part of|the political system...

This country will change...|We will change it!

If you believed the Defence Minister|deserved to be punished then...

...what about the allegations against|yourfather? Why such double standards?

We'll find a way|to fix this.

There's just one way|to fix this Dad.

I'm sorry Dad...

My name is Daljeet Singh.

There are only two|ways to live your life.

Tolerate things the|way they are...

...Ortake responsibility|to change them.

Karan Singhania killed his|father before coming here.

Sh*t DJ!|You're bleeding badly!

Relax! It got tired of flowing in my veins.|It just wanted to be free.

Aslam... Laxman... Sukhi?

All gone.

...Karan, I think I'm in love...

...I nevertold you dude...

...I can't stop thinking|about her...

I know... she's something else.

You two'll make|a great couple.

There's just one problem though. I don't know|Whetherthe kids will be black or white.

Let me go!|They're just boys, damn it!

We'll turn this spark into a raging fire.

This will swell like a wave and|will bring an end to corruption.

If we want to shake the entire population out of|their slumberthen we need an explosion like this.

When we grow out of this, well be a nation|which is beautiful and free of corruption.

Lord, accept the sacrifices of these children.

Come Bhagat...

Dad, what are you doing?

I'm sowing mango seeds.|If I plant one, a thousand will grow.
