Attention please

As you all know

Our verdict is

going to be final

There shall be no

appeal thereafter

You guys may put forward

your suggestions

There are no conditions

But we have to arrive at a

verdict within the allotted time

So, are we going to discuss?

Or are we going to vote?

I guess we all know the verdict

Then why discuss and waste time

Let's cast our votes

and make a call

Only then everyone can leave

I can go home and eat

I just said what I felt

You don't feel

anything but hunger

- Now stop laughing

- Come on sir

Okay, so is everyone

ready to vote

Yeah

So let see who all are

voting the convict as 'guilty'

Seven, eight, nine,

ten and eleven

11 people

Where are all you off to?

- There are more formalities

- Is it?

Tell me about it

Anyone voting the convict

as 'Not guilty' ?

Not guilty

Oh no!

Come on now!

See now that's why we shouldn't

have youngsters in here

Well you can't avoid them

Avoiding him and avoiding his vote

are entirely two different things

A vote has claimed governments

A vote has also seen

fall of governments

That doesn't matter

Majority is what matters

Our debate is disharmony

in harmony...

But while deciding our

harmony is in disharmony

We got to follow the rules

The decision should be unanimous

Excuse me sir

Why opt for the messed up 'Not guilty'

option rather that the easy 'Guilty'?

Oh lord Narayana!

So do you really believe

the convict is innocent?

I don't know

I might believe it

I might not believe it

So looks like he made a mistake

Then why did you

vote 'Not guilty'?

Because...

11 for that

1 against

What do you mean?

What do you mean by 'against'?

I am against punishing her

If I too had voted 'Guilty',

the count would be 12

What then?

Verdict is done and we'll

all set off to our homes

Isn't that what judge

wanted us to do?

Phew!

Things are happening to fast

Don't you see?

Too quick

What do you mean?

We sat throughout her trial

We spent 3 months on

this ie 90 days

You say that is too fast?

If everyone decides

unanimously then it's over

If we all vote against

her, she'll be hanged

What next?

She is gone

Forever

Don't you understand?

Never do this

One word can take a life

Indeed! A life will be lost

So let be it

Why should she live?

To murder another

advocate of nonviolence?

Forgiving a murderer is same

as committing two murders

I'm sure you know it

Let me assure this

I am nervous

What if my decision leads to

further damage in the future?

How can you drive if you think

you'll meet with an accident?

How will you use current appliances

if you fear of getting electrocuted?

How will we discuss if this building

falls down and kills everyone?

'What ifs', 'suppose', 'ifs' and

'buts' will let you do nothing

You can't even commit a mistake

So tell me, arent you living you life

even though after all these doubts?

Aren't you?

So decide!

Go

What a shot!

Blinded but yet right on target!

Excellent!

Well today is full

of shocking events

Now that's some achievement!

We are privileged to have lived

during your era Dr Benny

'Too much of accolades

I better be careful!'

Alright

Fine

Let's vote once again

If still I am the one

who votes 'Not guilty'

Then I shall change my decision

And so let it seal her fate

At least...

I will be satisfied that I

tried fighting for her

Now check this out

You'll change your decision

to 'guilty' like everybody

Yet still to be proved

yourself as uncorrupted

Right?

Well assume all you want

This time around

let's vote in secrecy

- It's my request

- But why?

You didn't question

the death sentence

Why would you question this?

You know why?

Because everyone will have to take

a pen, write down their vote

They'll have it pass it on

At least that little time will

help them to think and understand

We all are used to blindly

vote along with the majority

In secrecy or in openness, the

result is going to be the same

No problem

Go ahead

Look at her playing

games at this hour!

- She'll lose it

- She'll win it

- Wanna bet?

- Bet!

It's on

She won

So come on

She might have won this

But in life she'll fail

She will be hanged for sure

- Wanna bet?

- Bet!

- This time 1000 bucks

- Sure, it's on!

Sir, this is malpractice

This is illegal

Well, I wasn't copying I

was just supporting you

Why are you against yourself?

Sorry sir

Here, go ahead

Isn't it illegal now?

Sir, come on now

I've already copied it

Why are you crying?

These are not tears of sorrow

These are tears of joy

I've never ever

voted in my life

Until now this is

the first time

Someone has been deceiving and voting

on my behalf for the past six times

Six times?

That means for 30 years

I haven't voted

I am not an Indian citizen!

But today I've voted!

I am now an Indian citizen!

To all of you who made it possible my

greeting, my thanks and my welcome!

Now come on everybody

Here

Pass it on

One

Guilty

Two

Guilty

Three

Guilty

Four

Guilty

Five

Guilty

Six

Guilty

Seven

Guilty

Eight

Guilty

Nine

Guilty

Ten

Guilty

And one

Not guilty

Not one

But two

When did you reach the top?

Now come down!

Ten for guilty

Two for not guilty

No chance it could be so

Here, let me check it

Won't be required

It was me who voted for 'Not guilty'

Five minutes ago you

said she was guilty

Now you say she is not guilty?

Here, this man!

When you questioned if he was

confident he said he had no idea

Even after he had voted

her as not guilty
