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!

They can hold out for days on end.

On whose orders have | you closed this road?

Why cant l go in?

Look here, l'm the | Chief Correspondent of...

ABP News Channel.

Yasmin Ahmed. You can't do this to me.

l've come for Delhi to cover this.

Sorry Madam.

The area beyond the | barricade is restricted.

How can you do this!

Thousands of poor laborers have been | fighting for their land for years.

No one wants to even listen to them?!

Let them reach Delhi...

so this deaf government can hear them!

Sorry, Madam.

You? What're you doing here?

Don't know.

But, where were you going?

l really don't know.

Are you okay?

How about a cup of tea?

He was your brother!

Technically, no...

but he was much more than that.

l lost my mom and dad | in a terrible accident.

lf Akhilesh wasn't there, | l would've fallen apart.

And today...

he has orphaned me again!

Anyway, let it be...

lest l break down again.

Can l drop you somewhere?

Where are you going?

Told you, just driving around.

l wish l could just drive around.

But l have to cover this protest.

Let me try. Only for you.

l know what you did.

Needs to be done. For a cause

This time it's okay.

Shobha's son has been granted | admission in a Delhi College.

He could use these...

During the last election, the representative | had promised to build this school.

But, now its happening | only because of you.

No, not because of me. | The credit goes to Sumitra.

The compensation she was promised for Akhilesh, | she has decided to donate it for this.

Actually, this was Akhilesh's dream.

Well start the work as | soon as we receive the money.

There she comes again.

Madam, why are you bothering with this?

Allow me, and lll get your | file cleared within 48 hours!

Yes, first prepare the | project report first.

Only then can we speak.

Sir, hello Sir...

Sir, l am Sumitra Anand, | wife of late Akhilesh Anand.

l've been doing rounds of | this office for two months.

And, yet...

And yet, what?

Sir, the compensation of Rs. 2.5 | million that the minister announced.

So you'll get that!

l haven't received the file yet.

Excuse me, l've a | meeting with the minister.

Say now. Can't you too understand?

l have a meeting with the Minister. | Put the phone down.

What's this?

There are seven documents! You | need seven signatures, right?

Hurry up please. lt's almost lunch time.

l have already submitted all | the required certificates.

Madam, your documents | haven't been verified.

l cant stamp them.

But, they're all originals.

Fine! Then verify them yourself!

And stamp them as well.

Maam, if you don't | know the rules here...

then send your guardian instead.

What's so difficult to understand?

There's a fixed rate per document.

Make the payment, get them stamped!

Madam, please understand.

Without give-and-take, | nothing moves here.

Why don't you understand the signal?

Hello Manav...

What is the matter, Sumi?

Nothing at all.

How are you?

l am fine. How's Uncle?

He's perfectly fine. So am l.

Sumi, if there's anything, just call me.

Okay... bye.

Okay.

What is it, Sumitra?

Yes?

l want to meet the Collector.

He is in a meeting.

You can't meet him right now.

Hey... stop.

Who is this?

Get him out of here.

Cant you see a meeting is going on?

l can see everything, Mr. Collector.

Even l don't have the time | to wait until you're free.

Who are you?

Dwarka Anand...

Ex-Principal, District School...

And, the father of late | Akhilesh Anand, the engineer.

lncredible!

Yesterday his wife | accosts me, and now you.

You guys are behaving as if the | government has borrowed money from you!

That's precisely what l've | come to tell you, Mr. Collector!

We don't need your assurance, | or your charity.

Even, coming here is below our dignity!

You...

all your people, your system...

are all rotten and corrupt!

Hey! Shut up!

One more word, and | lll have you arrested.

Then rot away inside, in | memory of your dead son!

l told you you'll get the money.

Now, should l construct a | martyrs memorial as well?

Enough!

You are a public servant!

And, we shall not | tolerate your rudeness!

Arrest him!

Take him away.

Hands off!

Take him away.

l am going.

What kind ofjustice is this, l ask?

Calm down. This is a police station.

Sir...

Sir, you don't worry. | We will fight for you.

l'm Arjun Sir. l studied under you.

Arjun Rajvansh!

15 years ago, l | expelled you for hooliganism.

But, sir, now l'm a social worker.

Thank you...

Thank you for coming.

You may go now.

l don't need your help.

Sir, it's Ms. Sumitra.

Yes, Sumi.

Dads been arrested!

lt's a delicate situation, Manav.

The Ambikapur collector is | the Home Ministers key man.

l do know the states Finance Minister, | Kalikant Choudhary.

But, he's a straight guy, you know...

l understand, thanks.

The court has ordered | police custody for 7 days.

Along with section 353, | he's also charged under 120B.

Bail might be tough.

There's just one option now.

lf the Collector himself | withdraws his complaint.

Here's the letter.

Uncle...

What should l apologize for?

l know that you have done no wrong.

But, right now...

You know nothing!

lts people like you who are primarily | responsible for corrupting this sistem.

l don't want any help from you.

But l need your help.

l cant see you like this.

Don't bother about me.

l can face this punishment.

Please forget what happened, sir.

He was very disturbed then.

A few days in jail will | set right every disturbance.

Sir, l agree that | you have been insulted.

While it cant be reversed, | you can be compensated.

What do you mean?

Whatever you want. Just name a figure.

So, you've come to buy me, have you?

Get up and out.

What do you think?

ln two minutes, lll | have you arrested as well.

Get out!

Sir, we didn't mean...

OUT!

OUT!

Who slapped him? How many times?

What nonsense are you asking.

He takes bribes everyday and | now pretends to be a gentleman.

These people | understand just one language!

Only Dwarka's slap will | bring them to their senses.

THWACK!! Dwarka's slap | turned his cheek red!

That's how it is here.

Everyone's had it with them.

Do come!

Hello.

Hi.

These are my sons college friends.

For some loose change, | they'll do the job...

Right?

Sure sir.

Put these up wherever you can...

lanes, bylanes, crossroads.

By morning you'll see them everywhere.

These are the numbers of | all the mobile operators.

Split these into batches of 10, | and bombard them with the MMS.

Will be done, sir.

Thank you lndrojeet.

l know that you're a big lawyer.

Not at all Mr. Manav...

l also have another name here...

The proletariat lawyer!

How come?

l fight their cases free of cost.

But from big shots and companies, | l charge a bomb.

Way to go, man!

Change the position.

Those behind, come forward.

Hey Buddhan, what's going on here?

l don't know, looks | like some new leader.

New leader?

What the hell!

My name is Manav.

l'm just one of you.
