Her Majesty, the queen...

...you are here.

They think that barbaric and

uncivilised natives like you...

...can be transformed.

I don"t agree.

But now is your chance

to prove me wrong.

Now, these tribal clothes,

the tribal haircuts...

...won"t work here.

I don"t want the

British and royal students...

...to feel uncomfortable,

because of you.

So, everything has been

arranged on the campus...

...to make you men.

Sir, clothes don"t make a man.

Man makes clothes.

Something like that...

Something like that was quoted...

...by your Lord Bernard Shaw.

Don"t you get smart with me, son.

You people call yourself men.

L"ve seen how you live.

L"ve seen your India.

How you people live,

the way your country is.

Sweat. Smell.

Dirt. Filth. Muck.

Flies, lousy pigs, cows...

everywhere.

Dirt. Dirt. Dirt.

Hey, Teacher.

Punya, hold on to this.

If our country is so dirty...

filled with dirt, filth and muck...

...cows, buffaloes, flies,

smell and sweat...

...then what"ve you been

doing for the past 140 years?

Cleaning up?

My father sent me here to study.

Only to study.

Otherwise, I would"ve taught

you today.

Rogues, you betray your

own benefactor.

Don"t talk about my motherland.

Don"t talk about my country.

Four sticks.

The punishment will commence...

...and will not cease

until four sticks are broken.

Your hands on the table please.

Great, Mr. Gajendra.

What a shot!

You"re a good player

as well, Sujan Singh.

So, what were you saying,

Yashodhara?

Brother, l"ve found out...

...that the boy

wasn"t at fault at all.

The management was

unfair to him.

We should talk to them.

Yasho, why are you like this?

Just because a barbarian returned

to you a piece of your brooch...

...you feel these

barbarians have a heart.

You"re right, Gajendra Singh.

You absolutely right.

It"s the generosity of the British...

...that they just publicly

caned him and let him go.

Had it been Ratangarh...

No, no. Expelling him is not

the right thing to do here.

We"re not running a school,

we"re running a country.

But, my lord. I smell of

revolution in all of them.

We"ve come here today...

...to request you to call off

this new education policy.

My dear principal, we entice

these barbaric fools here...

...to educate them.

Mislead them into our way

of thinking and our culture.

Get them indebted by

doing small favours.

Enslave them, rule them and

rule their country forever.

This is the beginning of

a new England in India.

In fact, my friends,

it"s the end of India.

These British are absolutely right.

Our country is filled

But what"s the reason behind it?

The reason is that all

the kings aren"t united.

Whose fault is it?

Ours or the British?

Initially, only 187

British came to our country.

Then 2000.

Then 10000.

And then 100,000.

And these 100,000 British...

...ruled over 300 million Indians.

"Do you know how?"

"Father, because they

only know how to divide us."

"Under the pretext of hunger,

greed, language."

"And we know only how to

form different sects."

"In the name of religion,

caste, kingdom and the king."

"And you know, Father..."

"...there"s a ruse behind

their education policy as well."

"They want to corrupt our

minds with British culture.

To know their thinking, and

their cunningness better...

...we brothers have slightly

adapted ourselves like them.

Bless me.

Veer.

- Yes.

Don"t forget to write to father...

...that you"ve fallen in

love with London. - Fine.

I will.

"Lt"s got to be...

got to be the world."

"Lt"s got to be...

got to be the world."

Veer, this is a royal party.

You"ve bright chances

of meeting her here.

Don"t be scared.

L"m with you, okay.

Where are you going?

Remember what father said.

To understand these British...

...it"s important for me to

understand the British ladies.

Attention.

Hello, girls.

- Hello.

How are you doing?

- Good, how are you?

That"s funny...

- Yasho.

What?

- Look.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Assume that she gets trapped if

she smiles. - What"s he doing?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Yes.

I want to talk to Yashodhara,

and not you.

Don"t you have any manners

or shame?

Just because you

travelled to a foreign land...

...you forgot the difference.

God knows what these

British saw in them...

...that they let them

come to the royal club.

We know what these

British saw in us.

But you were born to rule.

So, what did you see

in these British...

...that you let them enslave you?

Hey, come here.

Yes, My Lord.

Slaves?

Take a look.

This is how they stand before us.

Brother.

- He was calling us a slave.

Brother?

- He was justjoking...

Brother, don"t get so angry.

It was only a trivial joke.

Joke?

- Yes.

Allow me to crack a

trivial joke as well.

Of course.

- Come.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Veer, love isn"t your

cup of tea. Forget it.

Why do you want to

get yourself killed?

Careful.

You"ve been lying on this

bed for the past ten days.

You still have three months to go.

Your love story has come to an end.

What?

Give me the shoes.

- Shoes?

You couldn"t even wear your socks.

You think you can wear the shoes.

Here, wear them. Wear it.

- Chest. Chest. - What?

Place it on the chest.

- On the chest.

Here. Here.

Shall I push harder?

Shall I push harder?

Sorry...

What are you saying?

I don"t understand English and you

are talking in some other language.

Where is she?

Did you see her hat?

- What hat?

Yes, I think I did.

It was quite weird.

Mr. Veer Pratap.

Yashodhara.

Carefully.

- Yes

Excuse me.

Have you started studying...

How is your leg now?

- It"s better now.

So, have you forgiven my brother?

- No.

Actually, you tend to get

hurt in games.

It"s not his fault.

Thank you.

Thank you? What for?

L"m grateful to you.

Take care of your leg.

- Of course.

Listen. Look after yourself.

- Yes.

You will, won"t you?

- Yes

And now, a folk dance

from Czechoslovakia.

Lady. Lady, that can

wait for a while. Please.

Let us entertain ourselves.

For now...

Veer will perform for India.

Sorry folks.

And now,

Veer will perform for India.

Only Veer can perform for India.

Gajendra Singh, thank you very much

for this favour once again.

Do you want to double

the entertainment? - Yes.

Then I want an Indian partner

to dance with me.

Yes. Yes.

Come on.

- Yes.

Yashodhara, I believe you sing

and dance very well.

Would you be kind enough

to join my brother on stage?

How can I?

- Yes, yes. - No.

Hold on. Hold on.

She cannot dance like a commoner.

After all, she"s a royal.

And we royals have a protocol.

L"m sorry.

We all understand protocols.

But music doesn"t

understand any protocol.

So, everyone hold

on to their hearts.

Otherwise, my voice

might stir up your hearts.

And royalty is compelled

to dance with commoners.

So, shall we begin?

- Yes.
