Who is Satya?

Sir, we have not been able to

gather much information about him.

We only know that he had joined

Bhiku Mhatre's gang some months back.

He has risen to the top quite soon.

Inside information reveals that this

man operates Mhatre's gang nowadays.

Informers also say that he had

a hand in Guru Narayan's murder.

Hello.

Hey, Khandelkar, you?

I had forgotten that he had

also been transferred to Mumbai.

Please sit.

- How are you?

- The same as before.

Implying, you still

haven't found anybody?

Why do you ask that? Don't you

know he will feel shy?

It's better to feel shy

than to regret, isn't it?

It's your age to get married now.

Well, I'll get married

in a year or two.

Marriage isn't the same as duty,

that you need a time limit!

Don't even think about marriage

until you find a suitable match.

- Where's your daughter?

- She got admitted to school today.

She will return by noon.

You will be here, won't you?

- No, I have to leave.

- What's the hurry?

Eat and go. Wait here,

I'll go and prepare something.

It's good that Munni

got her admission soon.

What were you saying

about Guru Narayan's murder?

Sir, Guru Narayan was murdered

against Bhau's wishes.

This is going to lead to a big

gang war between Bhiku and Bhau.

It's good. Let them fight amongst

themselves and kill one another!

And the ones who remain,

we'll handle!

- Jyoti, have you put sugar?

- Yes, she has, Sir.

For me!

It's very beautiful!

But...

But, Satya, this is...

You are wondering where I got

so much money from, aren't you?

I had taken a loan from the company.

I will gradually repay them.

- But...

- Now don't tell me...

...like you did to mother that there

was no need to take a loan and buy it.

I only wanted to see the ring

around your finger, so I bought it.

You liked it, didn't you?

It's extremely beautiful.

Allow me.

It's good that he is no more.

This was inevitable.

How often had I wished

that this should happen!

Death was better than this life.

But he was still living.

Since 15 years, on that chair...

He used to sing so well, but he

was unable to speak even a word.

I've been trying to call you since

so long but you weren't answering.

What's the matter?

Bhikubhai has called you right now.

There's some problem about Bhau.

- How is Vidya's mother?

- She's fine.

What's the matter?

Mule says that Bhau wants to meet me.

Ask him to come here.

I have come here

to accept my mistake.

I have committed a folly.

That bloody Guru was a wretched

man; I failed to realize that.

What could I do?

Elections were round the corner.

I was surrounded by jerks!

I would listen to anybody.

It's good you finished off Guru.

Bhiku, whatever you have done,

does not distress me.

But beware.

There's a new Commissioner

in the city - Amod Shukla.

He will definitely

be after our blood.

We must not let him take

advantage of our internal fights.

No.

We are the mafia.

We ought to live like comrades.

Understand? Do you understand?!

You are my child,

a little child of mine!

You are a very sensible boy.

I am glad you are with Bhiku.

- Why are all of you standing?

- Bhau, sit here.

- Ask him to bring hot tea.

- No, Bhau, not there!

- Bhau, come here.

- That is your chair.

This fatso doesn't let anyone sit on

it; he tells me also to sit over here!

You give me your chair,

but would sit on mine?!

Bhau, I'll order for some champagne.

...go and bring some champagne.

Fetch some liquor.

Hey, Chander! Tell me.

- My sister is getting married.

- Then we will surely attend it!

Bhau, you must come.

Bhau has extended a hand

of friendship towards Bhiku.

And now, Bhiku Mhatre is

helping Bhau in the elections.

All the candidates contesting

against him have been threatened...

...by the underworld gang

to withdraw their nominations.

And we are helpless, as nobody

has lodged a formal complaint.

How will anybody do that?

Every person values his life.

Anyway, people believe in the

underworld gang more than the police.

I'll reach at the

dot of 8.30, Sir.

The corporate election candidates

have been threatened...

...and Bhau Thakurdas Jhavle

is the man behind this!

Yes, we have the information.

The police do have the information.

- Then what action have you taken?

- As of now, nothing.

Amazing! Hooliganism is rampant...

...and our police force is merely

watching the spectacle like fools!

I said that we have the

information but not the report.

Nobody has lodged a

written complaint against Bhau.

And you ask us what we are doing.

Arrest Bhau on a 'no ground' basis?

Then? We'll have to free him then!

As we have no evidence against him.

So why this farce of arresting him?

Mr. Amod, it is unbecoming

of you to use such words...

What happens is that we arrest them

and they get released later.

If they get arrested, then they

will operate from inside the jail.

And if they escape, they will

operate from abroad!

And we cannot do a thing!

The amount of money we spend

on their extradition...

...is not even asked

for extortion by them!

And then there are people

like Bhau who operate openly.

Because they know very well

how to break this system!

Sir, I think there is

no solution to this problem.

They can do anything because

they transgress the law.

And we cannot do a thing because

it is the same law which stops us!

I admit the law must have

bound your hands many a times.

But the fault does not

lie with the law.

The framework of

our democracy is such.

Democracy has given our citizens

some basic fundamental rights.

Men like Bhau violate these

rights and mock at democracy.

But it's the limit now!

Rampant squabbles,

hooliganism, threats...

The public is getting terrified now.

Of what use is the law

which cannot protect the citizens?

Mr. Commissioner, I give

you a free hand.

Do anything.

The police have shot Chander dead.

What are you doing?

Come here quickly.

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

My friend met with an accident.

Is he badly hurt?

He's dead.

You'll have to go, won't you?

I'll come right away.

No, I'll see you later.

- I'll leave in a jiffy.

- No. You go. I'll see you later.

Okay.

The bloody fool is dead!

What was the need to go there?

I had asked that swine

not to go there!

The bloody fool wanted to

be an underworld kingpin!

The kingpin Chander!

Bloody swine!

- What's the use now?

- The swine couldn't kill!

What's the use of

talking about it?

All day long, he'd say,

"Bhikubhai, listen to a joke!"

The rascal would just keep laughing!

He wouldn't listen to anybody!

- I met his mother two days back.

- Why do you just go on talking!

Why are you blabbering?!

'Give Rs.20-25 thousand. I've

seen a girl for him in Kolhapur.'

'Or he'll never settle down.

Please take care of him, Bhiku.'

- Stop it, Bhiku!

- What could I tell her?

- Stop it!

- He wouldn't heed Bhiku or his mama!

- Stop it!!

- Stop what?!

He had come to you, right?

Why didn't you stop him?
