Come hack home.

I swear I'll change everything.

What will you change?

Everyone's opinion?

I won't die without you.

Iam happy-

You didn't go?

You see, brother never leave a

patient in hospital or a lover alone.

What did sister-in-law say?

Is she coming hack?

No, Naru. And she shouldn't either.

Ifinally realized now.

How can she do something

she never did all her life?

This isn't just about a loo...

It's about everyone's view.

Jhoni...tell me everything.

What happened?

What can I say, grandmamthis

is getting uncomfortable?

They're always in the jungle before

us, with their lights and camera.

At first,

we thought its the shooting crew.

But soon we realized

they were after us.

Guess they are from some news channel.

They record us like we're

indulging in foreplay.

It's entirely Keshav

and his wife's fault.

Laxmi...what did she do now?

Your news was published in the

newspaper and we're paying the price.

Jhoni, you claim to

he the leader of LOTA party...

...then why so embarrassed

to come on TV?

What are you saying, Keshav?

Are you drunk?

- Yes, grandma, I am drunk.

This is entirely your fault, Keshav.

Repercussions of getting

an educated wife.

You should he thanking us.

You've become a model at this age,

thanks to us.

Every day you defecate

out in the open.

So how about showing

some skin for TV as well.

It's alright, Panditji.

He doesn't know how to respect women.

The women in this country

can't respect themselves.

Otherwise, they would've never

agreed on defecating out in the open.

He's talking too much.

You don't worry.

To hell with these people.

We'll come up with a solution.

We'll...

- No, Naru.

We're done with finding

quick solutions.

It's time to do the impossible.

Today's first agenda.

The shooting is taking place on

the border of both the villages.

The shooting crew has been warned...

...that they should

stop wasting water.

The matter is under control now.

The next agenda,

Keshav's wife has left him.

And Keshav has put in a request...

...to build a public

toilet outside the village.

Those who agree can sign or put

their thumb impression on this paper.

Idon't know.

We won't give our thumb impression.

Young man, did you get

this idea from the shooting crew?

People won't forget their values

even if you build loos for them.

And stop defecating in the fields?

Keep this stupidity

restrained to your home.

Stop joking, village-head.

I've already been arrested once.

If you try to burden

us with your problems...

...then, we'll have to face the music.

We got freedom from

the British rule...

...do you want us to

he slave to their culture?

That isn't right, village-head.

There are other women in the village.

And their safety is the

village council's responsibility.

We're happy with our LOTA party.

- Yes.

And what about openly

humiliating yourself.

Keshav, don't talk about respect.

Your wife left you.

Show some respect to others.

That's what he wants.

That we s in our homes.

Or maybe s in our kitchens.

I only want the village council...

...to put in a request with

the government for a toilet.

Don't try to teach

us our responsibility.

This is an ancestral village.

Our ancestors didn't

build a toilet in our homes...

...and we're not Gods either.

If we build a bathroom in our homes,

won't that dirty our homes.

And what about the stink.

You want us to invite

diseases in our homes.

Don't try to teach

the villagers, Keshav.

We don't want a bathroom.

- Of course.

We don't need one,

so let's not bother the government.

Let's go. Come on, let's go.

That's enough social-service for one day.

- Let's go. Come on.

Hey let's go from here.

Son, the Block Committee

is above the Village Council.

Go meet Vasudha Tiwari at her office.

Pradhan, stop misleading the boy.

And you.. Don't try to

challenge our culture, son.

[Sanskrit chant]

Manu has written in the Manu-Smriti.

One must defecate away from home.

Tell me, people, did Ram-Sita

build a bathroom in the jungle?

See this"

Who's going to complete

that 'Shlok' (verse), headman?

Did you overlook the next page?

[Sanskrit chant]

The Shloka also states that...

...one must not defecate

near a river or any water body.

And wash their hands afterward.

Forget about washing your hands.

You even clean your a in the river.

People like you use religion

according to your own convenience.

What did you think?

Just because no one knows Sanskrit...

...you can say anything

you like and get away.

Don't try to teach me the Scriptures,

Village-head.

And remember...

Whether my wife comes hack or not, I

will build a bathroom in this village.

Radhe-Radhe.

Look, uncle..

- What happened?

Look at our country's plight.

See here.

Keshav doesn't know

who he's going up against.

3000 Cr scam.

There are no records.

All these scams are four years old.

Everyone's involved. Read this.

And all these ministers

are involved in this scam.

Notjust the ministers.

Everyone's involved.

What should I send Keshav?

Look at these scams.

Wonderful, sister-in-law.

Read it carefully.

Thank you.

- Welcome.

Listen.

If you go to the toilet,

don't forget to lock the door.

Do that later.. Don't he crazy.

- Go.

You're too much.

Give me the file.

- Take it.

Careful.

Bye, sister-in-law.

Bye.

- Love you.

Mister, where's DM Mathur's room?

- It's this one.

Hold on...

-Wait..

It's urgent.

- You can't go inside like this.

Keshav from Mandgaon.

I see...so you're Keshav.

Yes, that's me.

- I read in the newspapers.

First of all, all that money

that you swindle from the poor...

...where do you take it out?

Brother...

- Hold on.

Where are these... 3000 Cr toilets.

Can you show me?

I see...the puhlic's awakening.

Well, finally after all these years...

...someone came asking

for an explanation.

What do you want from me?

Toilets...which the

government promised us.

Actually...I am going to expose you.

Isee...

See that you don't expose yourselves.

Take a good look, guys.

This is a barber shop, horse-stable...

...and this lane's a tailor shop.

So what does that prove?

All these are public toilets...

...which you guys are using

for your personal benefits.

The government makes toilet schemes...

...hut you guys reject it.

And you guys don't care.

To hell with the funds.

We won't build a toilet in our homes.

Look at this Keshav,

the plan for your home.

Few of the homes in your village...

...were built under the government

rehabilitation scheme.

But the rest are ancestral homes.

So there was never any

facility for toilets in our home.

The government installed

sewage lines in your homes.

But you guys shut it down.

That's not done.

The government made arrangements...

...hut connecting the sewage

with your toilet is your job.

So who's the villain now?

You mean we don't have an option now.

Do you know what's a PIL?

Public Interest Litigation.

Go see a lawyer.
