Of an ambitious rabble-rouser, for whom action is the knee-jerk mantra. It is the story of how these four discover one another, and come together to raise hell, shaking the powers that be to their very roots! But, Satyagraha is also the story of an influential power-hungry despot who will stop at nothing to destroy them. Satyagraha: The revolution has begun!

But this coalition government cant | make any law without my consent.

The law will be made, Balram Singh!

Because the youth of today has seen | through criminal politicians like you.

And, forget the cords of the alliance.

l will strip you naked such...

that even if you beg, | you wont get a single vote.

Your days are numbered.

Well drag you through the gutters.

That is a promise!

Sir...

Nice lecture!

But it is l who gets a hearing in | the legislative assembly. Not you!

lmpotent, each one of them.

Be that as it may...

we cant lose uncle in their politics.

Now matter how, well have | to get him to end his fast.

lt is obvious that the government | will not comply with our demands.

Perhaps they don't care about Daduji.

But we do.

l have a proposition to | make on behalf of you all.

That Daduji break his fast.

We will figure out | another way to pressurize them.

Our movement will...

Daduji... Long live...

l am grateful to you all... | Your concern.

Your love and faith...

will lead us to our goal.

But...

now we cannot step back.

l will continue my indefinite fast.

l am within you all...

and you all are within me.

l will be lucky if l die for this cause.

Long live Daduji.

Daduji, this government | wont give us anything.

We will die, but they wont care!

We will show the government, Daduji.

All hail Daduji.

Stop him...

Stop him.

Call the ambulance.

Manav.

Daduji has done so much for us...

that l can even give my life.

Oh God.

His name was Lalbahadur.

The people want a | public funeral procession.

See, without the governments | approval l cannot permit this.

He was very brave...

We will have a public procession.

How could you even | think of allowing this!

Lalbahadur did this | in a fit of passion...

but by calling him a martyr...

we will encourage such a mentality.

This is a very dangerous step.

You aren't reading the public mood.

People are furious.

This is how they'll | make the government react.

Yasmin, the decision was the peoples.

You believe in democracy, right?

Conduct a poll of these thousands here.

Democracy doesn't | mean a mobs vote, Arjun.

Fine.

l propose that we take the | opinion of our entire committee.

Their opinion is here, before you.

No, Manav...

We don't have Daduji's opinion yet.

l don't consider it | appropriate to disturb him in his state.

l guess this was inevitable.

lt's been obvious for a while now...

that your views and decisions are | assumed to be the committees opinion.

But today l want to register my | opposition, even if l am alone.

Congratulations.

l pray that you don't ever have | to regret this decision of yours.

Why cant she understand?

People are shaken up.

lf they come out on the streets, | it will bring public pressure on the government.

Else, Uncles fast will...

You bloody government dog!

They're behaving like | its a wedding party.

He's here to dance at | a Martyr's mourning.

Take it easy!

Were on duty here.

Yeah right! Duty, indeed!

Slimy bloody cop!

Enough is enough, Chief Minister!

l had asked you not to | allow this procession.

Now, Ambikapur is burning.

And, if l go down, lll take you with me.

l'm sending in the paramilitary!

Sign it.

Sign it... please.

Not behind me.

Go block that way.

You people come here.

Don't let anyone in!

Police and CRPF are here to protect you.

Don't take the law | into your own hands...

else we will deal with it firmly.

Gather your people.

We need to control the situation.

The situation is | completely in our control, Manav.

All the roads have been blocked.

We wont let the CRPF or the | police enter this city today.

No matter what!

Arjun, violence is not our way!

There'll be lot of bloodshed!

So be it, Manav.

What's left now?.

People are sick of this government.

lts do or die today.

We will show that bloody | Balram Singh that we aren't cowards.

Using the military | against his own people!!

Don't be crazy, Arjun!!

Daduji will wish for this | movement to become violent.

You take care of Daduji, Manav!

You do that!

Let's go.

lts this way or that way! | Or else to the grave!

Manav, please come fast.

l don't know where Babuji has gone!

What do you mean?

l don't know. No one saw him!

l don't know where Babuji has gone!

Where are you going, Yasmin?

l am leaving this town.

Please, Yasmin. Not now. | l need you here.

l can't help you, Manav.

l won't be able to stop | this chaos without your help.

No one can stop it now, Manav.

After all, everyone believes | that it has your approval.

This wasn't my intention, Yasmin!

But l accept my mistake.

Right now, we have an emergency.

Uncle is missing.

Oh my God.

l will look for him.

You please try and convey to the | people not to fight the police!

Stop!

Where are you going?

Stop!

Where are you going?

Stop!

Sir, Dwarka is right here.

Give me the order Sir.

Finish him.

Please stop.

Uncle...

No...

Uncle...

Sir, l have both Manav | and Dwarka at gunpoint.

Kill them!

No... stop.

Stop... Look.

Manav...

l killed both of them.

Hey... Bulbul.

Catch him.

Look, he was talking | to the Home Minister.

- Father! - Somebody call an ambulance!

No... it will be too late.

Before word spreads...

My message...

Hurry up.

l have very little time.

Please, Father.

Stop this violence...

Stop this violence...

Or, l will die thinking...

that l made a mistake by | starting this movement!

What kind of nation have we made!

Where leaders who run the | government have disconnected from us.

They refuse to even hear us out.

What kind of nation have we made!

Peace...

Daduji...

Arrest Balram Singh...

And withdraw all the | paramilitary forces from Ambikapur.

Sir!

He's disappeared, sir!

Seal his house!

Please stop.... stop.

Please stop.

He's not going anywhere!

Hand him over to us!

We will dojustice here! Now!!

lf Balram Singh is not handed | over to us, Ambikapur will burn!

Arjun...

Ambikapur will burn!

- Come to your sense, Arjun. - l'm very much in my | senses, Manav.

He hurt the people.

Now, they will punish him!

Blood for blood!

Just leave it to us!

Well deal with this. And | with the law and the government.

Blood for blood!

That'll be wrong!

Against Daduji's principles.

Well figure out this | principles business later, Manav.

Shut up!!

Don't stop us today, Manav.

lf he escapes punishment, | well regret it permanently.

No, Arjun.

l don't want us to repeat the same | mistake that cost Daduji his life!

lt isn't that my blood isn't boiling.

l feel like tearing him limb from limb.

But, that would be madness!

The anger of us youth | is entirely legitimate.

Were this country's | greatest strength and hope.

And this anger has so | much strength that...

if it transforms into a revolution, | it can uproot the strongest system.

Hence, don't waste | this anger in revenge.

Nurture it, and build your future!

Don't forget with what difficulty...

giving up their essential things, | our parents educated us.
