And Mumbai?

Mumbai is the ocean where

all the rivers merge together.

And Rao sir?

Whatever I am today

is because of him.

Even after all these years...

...I remember every

lesson he has taught me.

Shankar, all this

land belongs to me.

Govinda.

Our schooI used to be there,

I studied there...

Govinda.

Govinda.

Govinda.

Greetings.

Greetings...

Everything fine?

- Yes, sir.

Greetings.

- Greetings. - Greetings.

Where is Rao sir?

Rao sir was always here,

where have you been?

Only when you genuinely respect...

...somebody you should

seek their blessings...

Right Chander?

Sarkar?

This pickle is made

from local dried fish...

...and your will vision

will not get blurred.

You are 60 years old now,

eat this everyday...

...and your vision

will not get blurred.

You will be far sighted!

At least try the sweet dish.

Dad is not allowed oily stuff.

I can see this

reflected in your politics...

...it's neither greasy nor fiery!

But politics is a function

of the mind, not the stomach.

Do you agree, Shankar?

Get our men together...

They have turned into cowards.

Nanhe, Ramakant, where is everyone?

Get everyone!

- I'll call you.

Grandpa, the

collector is cutting down...

...the rosewood

trees in the villages.

You better stop him or he

will destroy Thakarwadi.

I will talk to him.

Don't you see who's here!

I had seen you a few years ago,

during the elections.

Grandpa, if I see his jeep

here again, I will burn it down.

Somji, how many times have I told

you violence is not the solution.

I will talk to him.

Talk! Keep talking!

I will break his bones then

you can talk to him all you want.

The whole village is being

burnt and they are talking.

Continue with it,

I'll not spare anyone!

Come on, let's go!

Subhash, that's my

grandson Sanjay Somji.

He runs the farmer's cooperative.

My Somji is a little hot tempered,

but he's a very nice person.

The farmers treat

him like a big brother.

Shankar, come and sit here son.

You can attend to your calls later.

Don't give them

false hopes, Subhash.

The farmers have lost

faith in their own government...

...they will never

trust a foreign company.

But this will be very

beneficiaI for Maharashtra.

I am not opposed to development.

But if politics is played

in the name of progress...

...your credibility will

be questioned Subhash.

Why don't you look at

the project report once?

I am a believer of

Ayurveda (medical treatment)...

...I feeI the pulse...

I don't read reports!

So what does the

pulse of Maharashtra say?

I'm not trying to stop you.

This is just my way of making

you understand the situation.

Somji too gets impatient at times...

Look son, I'm a Gandhian but I have

studied revolutionary thoughts too.

Blood is as worthless as

water running in the veins.

It becomes worthy only

when it is shed for a cause!

Subhash, you were just

like this when you were young.

It's good to be

passionate when you are young.

But you will face

problems along the way.

Every problem is an opportunity

to get closer to your goaI.

So what do you want to do?

I believe in this project.

I will visit each and every

village and convince them.

Subhash, do you

have faith in Shankar?

Yes, he does!

And I have faith

in your dad's faith!

So?

Go ahead!

This time you were genuine!

Bless you!

Do you think people

will agree so easily?

No...

- Excuse me...

Hello, how are you?

Fine.

Yes, he is right here.

- Hassan Qazi.

Yes. Dad.

Hello.

Hi, this is Mike Rajan.

Anita speaks very highly of you.

So how are you, young man?

Fine.

Shankar, what is the

issue with Rao sir?

The issue is not with Rao sir,

it's with Thakarwadi.

I will handle it.

Everyone knows...

...the Nagre's are experts at

dealing with such situations.

Once you force...

Not by force, this

decision will be made by choice.

Like I said, I will handle it.

Don't worry.

Ok, give the phone to Anita.

Sure.

Anita!

Yes dad...

Mr. Shankar, foreign companies...

...are just like iron nails!

What do you mean?

I just said it.

Everyone in India is waiting...

...to hammer them down!

I always make money for my partners.

This project is

worth 2 billion dollars.

They are there... we are here...

Even the slightest sleight of...

...hand will get us 20-50 million.

It's a very common thing.

Half and half!

Half of what?

I was telling Shankar an old tale...

Really, what?

He just offered me a bribe!

I don't know who you

are nor do I know him.

All I know is that Maharashtra

needs this power project.

And every person attached to

this project needs to be honest.

This is not an advice,

it's a warning!

Even I didn't

understand what he meant...

Was he speaking in Hindi?

Chikoo! Did you get the

watch grandpa sent you?

Ask if he liked it.

Why don't you ask him yourself...

Me?

Chikoo! How is my tiger?

Did you get the watch?

Why not?

Its old fashioned...

But I thought it was

strong and sturdy!

What's your style?

Uncle Shankar's style.

That's what

everyone says these days.

Where is Amrita, call her.

It's hard to know what

the kids want today.

He is right. Why should we saddle

them with our likes and dislikes?

We have to change with the times.

If we change, how will we

recognize that times have changed?

Your words won't influence me...

Yes Amrita, how are you?

The information is correct.

His nephew has got the

contract to build the shopping mall.

And Jadhav is asking for his share.

Chandar, withdraw our tender.

That's not possible.

We didn't come to

power to be contractors!

What is the problem with

the corporator from Andheri?

Why do you ask?

He has been trying

to meet me for weeks...

He's a fraud.

That's for me to decide.

But I've known him for years...

Yes...

Dad has thrown Hassan Qazi out of...

...the project and

has apologized for it.

He has nothing to

do with our company.

He was just a facilitator

to get us some contacts.

Don't waste anymore time on him.

You are right.

When are you going to Thakarwadi?

Tomorrow.

- Can I come along?

I have never been there.

Shankar... Thakarwadi

is my dream project.

It means more to me than to you.

There is dawn in your eyes.

There is dawn in your eyes.

Slightly awake and

slightly slept, eyes.

The sky has bowed down to my eyes.

There is dawn in your eyes.

There is dawn in your eyes.

Why is this project

so important for you?

It's for Thakarwadi.

Are the people your priority

or the success of the project?

What's the difference?

This project is an

investment to earn profit.

The true meaning of profit is

only when everybody benefits.

I've chosen so many...

...colors of life for you.

Your beauty is like the...

...sunrays sparkling on water.

Alleys decorated

with colorful flowers.

There is dawn in your eyes.

There is dawn in your eyes.

People live in an illusion that

the aim of life is to earn money.

The aim of life should be not to...

...make money but to

bring about a change!
