l haven't come to lecture you | on corruption, or the system.

l have just one question for you:

What compelled this man to | slap the administration?

What he did was good!

Just what was needed!

The Professor was off his head.

Precisely!

He lost his head with anger.

And, fed up.

People are fed up.

Remove them!

What are you doing?!

Government orders. Were clearing this.

D'you see this atrocity?

They won't even let us speak!

Hey, hey, Mr. Leader!

Where the hell have you dropped from?

From Delhi!

Delhi...

Then why are you lecturing here?

lf you had a problem, | you should've come to me.

l'm the leader here.

l've slogged my butt off | for every family here.

Be it floods, storms, | drought, weddings, funerals

Arjun Singh is always there!

Without my permission, no party can | even raise a flag in this district.

And, you think you can just land | here and begin blasting your speeches?!

See, Mr. Arjun, l am not | trying to be a leader here.

l just want to get my uncle released.

You mean Dwarka Anand?

Yes!

That slap was inevitable.

The rascal collector is totally corrupt.

But, how do we twist his arm now?.

Amassing crowds is not a problem.

But that wont affect | the shameless fellow.

We need to light a | cracker under his pops chair!

Pop?

That bloody minister... Balram Singh

Hey Yasmin! Check this out!

What is this?

Real Juicy stuff.

Last night a Home Minister | from a state was with a call-girl.

We have some wild footage!

So?

lts a sensational story! Lets air it.

Never! You guys!

This is cheapjournalism, | completely unethical.

We don't stoop so low.

What people do in their personal lives, | is none of our concern.

Yasmin, this is the Prime Minister, | for Gods sake!

How can you ask him such questions?

Why not? He had said that...

lndia believes in growih | with social justice, right?

But, now that both are clashing, | what will he choose?

Hi Manav. What's up?

Lots.

Listen, l have a fantastic story.

A retired school teacher...

got so fed up with administration, | that he slapped the district collector.

Okay.

So, what's the story?

He is in prison now.

Well, that's hardly surprising.

He is my uncle, Yasmin.

My friend Akhilesh's father.

l am so sorry Manav.

But... l cant do this story.

That would be unprofessional.

No, its not like that.

His slap has created a storm here.

Thousands of people | are out on the roads.

Just check out the Ambikapur | Revolution Site Page on Facebook.

You cant imagine how | bad the situation is.

My uncles response has | triggered off a revolution here!

A hundred thousand people!

All of them demanding his release.

Sandeep, you'll have to send someone | else to Japan with the Prime Minister.

What!?

Thanks for coming.

Where's everyone?!

You showed me thousands on Facebook.

Cant get through to Arjun.

They must be on their way.

What should l shoot, Ma'am?

Listen Mr. Manav Raghvendra...

l didn't leave an important | assignment to see your cheap tricks here.

And, for God's sake, at least don't | treat me like your floozy, Malini Mishra.

l admit that l exaggerated | the numbers on Facebook.

But, Yasmin, you are needed here.

You cant imagine how utterly helpless | and disgusted people are with the corruption here.

lf something is not done now...

the public will really revolt.

And that is going to be very violent.

Sorry, madam. No cameras allowed here.

l just want to speak | with Mr. Dwarka Anand.

l know who you are, but l | cant allow cameras, please.

Please understand.

Wait outside.

Good Morning Sir.

Why did you slap the D.M.?

Because he deserved it.

But, how can you take | the law in your own hands?

That's why l'm here!

And that is fine.

Are you aware that there is a massive | campaign on outside, for your release?

Orchestrated by Manav Raghavendra.

And, he tricked me | into coming here as well.

Let's go.

Mr. Arjun, what's your plan now?.

With Manav's brains and our strength...

we will finish them!

The government is going to shake

Rock, the public rocks | the political system

The government is going to shake

Rock, the public rocks | the political system

Now the people will question | the government, the public rocks

The people have awakened, | the public rocks

The people will question the | government, the people have awakened

Now the people are going to rule

The public rocks

The public rocks

The public rocks

Now the people are going to rule

The public rocks

One stone starts a landslide. A | spark can light a prairie fire.

Were seeing something | like that in Ambikapur.

On May 25, a highly respected | and morally upright Dwarka Anand...

a firm believer in Gandhian | non-violence, slapped the collector.

He was arrested and | is in police custody.

But, that one slap has | created a massive movement here!

ls this the beginning | of a new revolution?

Manav Raghavendra is his name. | The man behind this upheaval.

Yes...

but the matter is getting serious.

We have to do something.

Why!

Sir, Ambikapur is | Balram Singh's terrain.

The DM is his man.

Let him bear the consequences.

lf he gets preoccupied with this, | hell be out of our hair.

Namaste.

Namaste Mr. Kalikant.

Hello.

Meanwhile, we conducted | polls on Facebook and Twitter.

On the Ambikapur Revolution Site.

Of 137896 votes, 72% felt | the slap was legitimate.

Daduji's hand may have hit the D.M.

But, the slap was actually | on the governments face!

Mr. Balram, the media is | just exaggerating this.

But, you shouldn't worry.

You have the CMs full support. | And, mine as well.

Absolutely! Deal with it firmly.

No compromise!

Thank you Sir. Thank you.

With friends like you, | who needs enemies.

You are an idiot, Sangram Singh!

l gave you a 5 billion company,

but your brains aren't worth a cent.

You cant handle even one district?

And you, Mr. D.M. Why have | you created so much tension?

ln my own district!

Sir but... actually...

Didn't your father ever | slap you in childhood?

lmagine this oldie to be your pop.

Forgive and forget, pal.

And you, Mr. Suprintendent?

What on earth are you upto?

But sir, tensions have really escalated.

They have surrounded the police station.

l am imposing a curfew.

Why don't you impose a curfew | on my political career as well?

Your power has got you drunk!

Release, Dadu!

Down with Balram Singh!

Stop this sloganeering. Stop it!

You people, please continue.

The public has a right to be angry.

Let them shout. Please continue.

Down with Balram Singh.

Down with Balram Singh.

ldiot!

The public has a right to be upset.

The mistake is mine.

Getting busy with state matters, | l neglected my own home.

And, an injustice occurred.

l admit my mistake.

And, l will rectify it today, right now!

Come...

Come...

You band guys, clear off now.

l consider Mr. Dwarka as | the guardian of Ambikapur.

So, there is no shame in | accepting a punishment from him.

Hence, our collector has withdrawn | his complaint and apologises to Daduji.
