Oh no! He has been caught!

Kill Dholakia!

What is this?

Why have I been

brought here like this?

Kishan is with us! I

don't understand...

You had the guts to send

him to murder Shankar?

Don't talk nonsense!

I have been with Sarkar

for years, he's God to me.

Shankar is like my brother.

When the public creates a God,

a devil like me is born!

Shankar will die... he has to die!

I am the one who will kill him!

I am his right hand man... his

security is under my control.

Right.

I will finish him

off in his own house...

Now you...

Govinda.

Want to hear more?

Dholakia was the one above me...

Tell me.

Dholakia has been killed!

What?

They work in absolute secrecy.

One person gets in touch with

the other, there is no third link.

I ordered Kishan to kill you.

And Dholakia ordered me.

Now that he is dead, the

link above him has been broken.

Govinda.

Then why should you stay alive?

Negotiation, bribe, punishment,

spying.

Negotiation, bribe, punishment,

spying.

Negotiation, bribe, punishment,

spying.

Negotiation, bribe, punishment,

spying.

Negotiation, bribe, punishment,

spying.

If the prey does not

walk into the trap...

...we will take the trap to it!

Both father and son are

very fond of social service.

A foreign company wants...

...to put up a huge power plant...

...in Maharashtra.

This project is worth 2 billion.

Within the first

year of production...

...we will make a minimum

profit of 20 million...

...that will increase every year.

Only if the project starts...

What is that supposed to mean?

Ma'am, you are talking of India.

That too Maharashtra...

It's impossible!

Mr. Qazi, I detest that word!

Our problems won't go away

based on what you like or dislike.

Dad, I don't like his attitude.

It's negative!

There must be something that

turns the impossible around?

Not something... someone...

Who?

Sarkar!

Who is this Sarkar?

A gangster in the garb of a leader!

Long live, Sarkar!

Long live, Sarkar!

Long live, Sarkar!

Long live, Sarkar!

Long live, Sarkar!

Long live, Sarkar!

The greatest victory of...

...a father is being

defeated by his son!

I am proud that...

...my son has done far

more in a couple of years...

...than I have done in a lifetime.

Where is Shankar?

Either you play

politics or we do business!

Even Delhi is

heating up over this issue.

You better pay us heed now...

By the way, the

minister also wants the same.

You have come to my

house on dad's birthday.

If this threat was

made any other day...

Shankar, dad is calling.

Tell the minister, if he

thinks of Maharashtra...

...Maharashtra will think of him!

You are unique.

You are unique.

We feel very relaxed

under your protection.

HaiI Govinda.

HaiI Govinda.

Your name echoes in all

the corners of the world.

Everyone is calling

out to you... Govinda.

HaiI Govinda.

Negotiation, bribe, punishment,

spying.

Negotiation, bribe, punishment,

spying.

All the notes are yours.

You create a rhythm.

You are unique.

You are unique.

You are unique.

You are unique.

You are unique.

Bhandari, don't make it too bitter.

Have you put the

cardamom in the sweets?

Yes, I have...

Only if Amrita and

Chikoo were here...

Chikoo must not like it in Nagpur.

I just spoke to sister in law.

If Chikoo didn't have fever,

they would surely be here.

How are you Shankar?

Before elections you

were here everyday!

Since Sarkar has made me Chief

Minister, I don't get the time.

If I complain to him, you will

have all the time in the world.

You need not bother. Mr. Kanga

is already making sure of that.

Shankar, this is Miss Anita.

And I am Hassan Qazi.

Come in.

Wish you a very

happy birthday, Sarkar!

Thank You.

Take this.

Shinde, how are things?

What can I say, Sarkar?

Whenever I try to make things

happen Mr. Kanga stages a walkout.

His name should be Johnny Walker!

Give me your chair, I

will stop walking out!

If only we had 11

more elected members...

...we wouldn't have to

take your bitterness.

Perhaps it's this kind of sweet

talk that makes the MLA's stick.

Only time will tell who is what!

Kanga.

If you can't say

anything nice just shut up!

Yes, tell me.

Sarkar, there's a problem.

This is Anita, CEO of the

Sheppard power plant project.

Hello.

Greetings...

And this is Hassan Qazi.

I am your fan, sir!

Govinda.

You must have heard of the

Sheppard power plant project.

No!

This is going to be

India's biggest power plant.

5000 mega watts... - Skip the

technical details, get to the point.

Sarkar, this could solve

all our electricity problems.

So what's the trouble?

It's the place where the power

plant will be situated, Thakarwadi!

Why Thakarwadi?

Our engineers have carried

out detailed technical surveys.

They think this is the ideaI

place to put up the power plant.

But to make way for the plant...

...some densely populated

villages will have to be vacated.

These areas are around Thakarwadi.

Naipara, BekuI, Kuchera, Siddhi...

...some five villages in

and around Thakarwadi.

And untiI we...

Shinde?

- Yes Sarkar...

How many people live

in these villages?

According to the 1995 census...

40,000.

40,000 people live there.

Have you gone crazy?

Bringing such a proposaI to me?

What is wrong with you?

Sarkar, I thought...

If this is how you think then

I will have to think about you!

What are you thinking?

How many times

have I told you that...

...you are the Chief Minister of

entire Maharashtra, not just Mumbai.

You have lost your judgement

by indulging in petty politics.

You better understand this well.

You exist because of the

Government, not the other way round.

You jump at every

prospect that comes your way!

Sarkar, it won't happen again.

How can one do business where

the law of the jungle rules?

The lion rules the jungle.

If the time is right even a circus

clown can make the lion dance.

What is that supposed to mean?

Nothing... I said it just like that.

How can the project happen?

Anita, I have a

feeling it will happen.

How?

During the entire discussion

Shankar Nagre didn't utter a word.

So?

Dad, this project is good.

It will take

Maharashtra to new heights.

People live on the ground!

Like you say.

Before thinking about short term

gains, think about future losses.

Likewise, before short-term

losses think of lasting gains.

If the people have

put their faith in us...

...it's our

responsibility to take decisions...

...that are tough

but right, for them.

If we are afraid that people

will disapprove of these decisions...

...then what kind of leaders are we?

What do you think of the

people associated with this project?

Something about

them is bothering me...

People will be people,

we will handle them!

How will we convince Rao sir?

You! You make him understand.

Dad, this project is very

important for Maharashtra.

He will have to understand!

Govinda.

Govinda.

Thakarwadi!

If Maharashtra is the Ganges of

politics, Thakarwadi is its source.
