From time immemorial to this very day…

The world as we know it…

The world order we see and understand…

has actually been controlled by…

some mysterious forces that remain hidden from our sight.

Among these,

only two dominant forces… continue to hold power today.

Within British-American Intelligence Agencies…

these two polarities are identified…

by two code names.

The first:

codenamed "God Axis",

a covert Afro-Chinese nexus...

known as "Shen Triad."

The second:

Codenamed "Lucifer Nexus",

an Indo-Arab mega syndicate,

called "Khureshi-Ab'raam".

There’s enough space for all of you in our storehouse.

Go rest for the night.

Yes, Mausi.

Of course!

[Rising background score]

Masood!

Make sure to tell your children...

what they witnessed today was neither faith nor religion.

It was just a game of politics.

And in our country, politics is just a business..,

which knows neither Hindu nor Muslim..,

neither man nor woman..,

neither soul nor honour.

It trades everything away.

When religion and politics join hands..,

it's like a flame thrown into gunpowder.

At least, our children must understand this.

May Allah keep you safe, Sister!

May Ram protect you!

Okay.

[Generator powers on, electricity returns]

We were taught that if it rains continuously..,

we'd have electricity throughout the year.

But now, when it rains..,

the wind knocks out our power lines..,

and floods wash away our homes.

As if that weren't enough..,

there's this dam, like the sword of Damocles.

Only God can help us, when the monsoon arrives.

♪ And gift us a benevolent shelter…..? ♪

♪ Pray! Who’s the king here..? ♪

Our Chief Minister is building a wall around the dam.., isn't he..?

After that, we shouldn't have to worry, right..?

A surrounding wall!

Had Krishnan been alive, he would have told you a lot of inside stories..,

about that check dam project!

Where is Govardhan, dear..?

He is inside, Father.

Into some deep research.

[Phone ringing at the reciever's end]

- Hello..? - Ah! Karthik...

I tried calling you several times.

Couldn't reach you.

Tell me, Govardhan.

I was on a flight.

Just landed.

Karthik,

I need to know something urgently.

It's about a rumour that has been circulating on the dark web for a while.

This Baldev...

What's the reason for Baldev's sudden interest in Kerala..?

What..?

Govardhan..,

I'm not here to play Robin in your Batman vigilantism act.

I'm an executive of the Central IB.

Hope you remember that.

I had asked you about something, didn't I..?

What's the status on that..?

Stephen. Where is he now..?

Were you able to find any information on Stephen..?

Tell me that first.

Yes, I'm on it. I'm on it, Karthik.

I assure you. At the earliest, I'll find something.

As soon as I know something, I'll call you immediately.

You'll be the first person to know.

But Karthik..,

Listen!

This is important.

I need to know this.

Why!

Why does Baldev have this sudden interest in Kerala..?!

I heard that he's coming here.

- Why..? - Let me see.

Let me ask around.

If I get any information, I'll inform you.

And, Govardhan..,

I hope you know.

Now.., satellite phones too can be detected through surveillance scans.

Don't worry, Karthik.

This is an original 1990 Iridium model.

No modern surveillance system will be able to detect it.

[Car engine sound]

[Cars approaching]

Ah! This is not fair!

You keep resigning posts at the drop of a hat, just like Antappan!

Varma Sir, I've been wearing this Khadi for 35 years.

There's an art that Khadi-wearers pick up right from the start.

The art of mincing words.

I haven't mastered it yet.

So, let me be direct with you.

When Stephen Nedumpally left the IUF in Jathin Ramdas's hands and disappeared..,

I had believed...

that this party and this State...

would be steered in the right direction.

But.., I was wrong.

We are heading exactly where Bimal Nair would have taken this party to.

Except for NPTV, all the news channels in this state have been breaking news...

about Jathin Ramdas's multiple corruption scandals.

I figured it was best to resign, before the public finds out about the commission...

taken from the Korean company for the new check dam in Nedumpally.

I've had enough!

Ah! Hey!

Peethambaran!

[Footsteps slowly fading]

Can we really blame him, sir..?

This has become like monarchy!

Whatever Jathin Ramdas says, we must obey.

We shouldn't obey anyone else, but him.

And we're expected to swallow his words without question.

Back in PKR's time..,

even a primary IUF member knew...

exactly what he would say and do.

PKR never went against the party's policy.

But this…

Is this chap really his son..?

Don't you have anything to say about this, Varma sir..?

Jathin Ramdas is the party leader of IUF...

and the Chief Minister of this State.

He shouldn't be addressed like this, with such disrespect.

You heard me..?

Aye!

This is IUF!

Now they are all family...

and we're just expendables.

That's not the real worry.

RPI (M) and Medayil Rajan...

are going to have a field day with this.

The party conference is tomorrow, isn't it..?

The dance rehearsals must be in full swing right now.

♪ In Kerala, struggling under the barbaric rule of IUF ♪

♪ Reeking with the corruption tales of the PKR scion... ♪

♪ One hero! One saviour! Comrade Medayil Rajan! ♪

I can't believe this.

He's quite immature,

and he's into Hawala transactions as well.

Since he has already taken a commission,

he has no choice but to build the check dam in Nedumpally.

Hmm..?

But...

will he really resort to extreme measures like you say..?

Even though a setback for the IUF works in our favour,

the last ray of hope for secularism--

My dear Comrade..,

we both know you don't truly feel this sorrow.

What we need is a 'good today'.

A 'good tomorrow' can always wait.

But… doesn't Ramdas's daughter have an opinion on this..?

[Applause]

Motherless, I was raised by my father alone.

That...

That solitude; it has taught me many lessons.

If the words that must be spoken...

at the right time..,

in the right way.., are left unsaid..,

then a girl.., errr.., a woman...

might not be able to leave a mark...

of her being alive.

Now is the time for women to speak.

This era must bear the undeniable mark of women.

This DET event on...

women's renaissance.

I don't know whether I'm the right person to inaugurate it.

You said I was.

So, here I am.

Thank you, and...

wishing every single one of you all the best.

[Applause grows louder]

Now is the time for women to speak.

This era must...

Since I wrote your speech, I'll take credit for the wordings.

But Mom, your modulation!

It was really off.

When delivering punchlines, you need more confidence, don't you..?

Like Grandpa.

Even Jathin's speeches; haven't you heard those..?

[Phone ringing]

Hello, Arundhathi.

Ma'am, do you have any information on the agenda

for the CM's public meeting tomorrow..?

There are many rumours circulating in party circles and on media.

If you could substantiate it..,

it would've helped us prepare our team.

I don't know, Arundhathi.

It's best to ask Jathin about all these.

Oh! Okay, Ma'am.

She has no clue!

Now, we welcome our respected State President..,

Shri Sajanachandran Ji..,

to address the gathering.

[Applause, cheers]

[Cameras clicking]

Hail! Hail!

[Akhanda Shakti Morcha: Heritage Preservation Convention]

The Kerala-born, son of India!

Hail Sajanachandran!

Hail! Hail!

Hail Sajanachandran!

The ones who laughed at Akhanda Shakti Morcha for so long!

The ones who booed, who jeered!

Those traitors, who sneered at us, claiming that our glorious flags...

that bear our swords of victory, would never fly high in Kerala!

From tomorrow..,

they will be forced to swallow their own words!

When I said we'd win 35 seats in Kerala Legislative Assembly last time..,

when I declared that Kerala would be ruled by the leader of our choice..,

those who betrayed us and ensured our defeat..,

those who hid behind the walls of YouTube and Facebook..,

mocking us with their memes and trolls..,

and laughed at us repeatedly; their laughter...

would soon turn as dark as this night that surrounds us!

News that shall send shock waves across Kerala's pseudo-secularist ranks...

would soon be heard!

[Applause intensifies]

[Kerala State - 1]

Hi, Jathin.

Hey. Hi...

- How are you..? - Am good.

What's the status of your Columbia University admission..?

I've applied for it. Waiting.

Fingers crossed!

I'm sure you'll get through.

I hope so.

You guys talk. I need to send a couple of emails.

Does the CM still remember the way to his official residence..?

[Nedumpally Check Dam Protest Meet]

You are active in Nedumpally.

Aren't you..?

Isn't it the land that transformed our father into PKR..?

They invited me, and I agreed to go.

That's all.

Do you realize this is a calculated move,

supported by Maoists, against me and the party, sister?

I don't know about that.

However, I do believe their argument holds some merit.

So, you too are against me!

Wait. I'll get you coffee...

I'm in a hurry.

I have a few meetings to attend.

I'm no stranger to a CM's busy schedule.

[Mysterious music]

When did you pick up this habit..?

I used to smoke in college.

I quit somewhere along the way,

but now I'm back at it.

Jacqueline..?

We...

moved on.

I'll tell you why I'm here.

Tomorrow, I'll be making an important announcement.

Don't ask me what it is right now.

No matter what it is..,

or whoever reacts against it..,

I don't want any public statements from you.

No matter what you decide,

PKR had certain basic principles that he followed in politics.

As long as you don't go against them..,

I shall remain silent.

Principles!

Equality!

Brotherhood!

Secularism!

Sister,

there is a lesson that I have learned, in the past five years.

No one here wants any religious harmony.

At every opportunity, they've turned religions against each other..,

or tried to appease them under the name of secularism.

I'm talking about all politicians, including our father.

Why do you still hate him so much..?

If a son doesn't come to light his own father's funeral pyre..,

there can be only be two reasons for it.

One,

the father hated his son.

Two,

the son hates his father.

In this case, both are true.

To meekly follow someone else's orders..,

and to be a namesake, proxy Chief Minister;

that's something I have never promised anyone.

I have never felt that I am part of PK Ramdas's legacy.

So now..,

I'm going to create my own.

[Rising background score]

[Applause heard through the TV]

Namaskaram.

Five years ago,

my only credential was that I was PK Ramdas's son.

And that's how I assumed the leadership of this party.

I made you a promise, back then:

that the IUF would emerge victorious in the coming election.

That we would triumph!

And I kept that promise.

[Applause, chatter, cheering]

[Applause heard through the TV]

[Applause]

However..,

I did not realize back then, that the true trial would begin...

the very moment I sat on the Chief Minister's chair.

In this war that PK Ramdas left behind,

those who constantly tried to sabotage this party and this State…

were not the enemies who confronted us directly..,

but the very ones who stood behind me and beside me;

my own colleagues in the IUF.

Sir, is he really going to wash our dirty linen in public..?

Someone who abandoned this land and its people long ago should not be dictating...

the policies of the political front ruling a State.

Five years ago..,

I stood before you and made a solemn vow:

to ensure a government free of corruption...

and untouched by favouritism.

Those were my promises.

Unfortunately..,

neither the IUF nor I...

have succeeded in fulfilling it.

To honour that vow..,

today, on my father's death anniversary..,

I stand before you with a decision.

I, Jathin Ramdas, am quitting the IUF.

[Intense music]

Instead, to be the dutiful son of my father..,

to be a son, a brother, and a friend to each and every one of you..,

today, I am founding a new party:

IUF (PKR).

[Intense music]

In the upcoming elections..,

IUF (PKR) will compete as a new political front.

Imbibing the spirit and vision of PK Ramdas and this land..,

we will form a new government.

Today, Kerala...

is a politically isolated island.

In this country's political landscape..,

it carries no weight.

A small, insignificant State that no one cares about.

But, unlike Kerala's outdated political fronts..,

as we move forward in this journey..,

IUF (PKR)...

will not be alone.

[Helicopter sounds]

[Helicopter grows louder]

[Dramatic music]

To steer this movement forward..,

to lead us as a guiding light..,

joining us today, is my friend...

A massive conspiracy is unfolding in our State politics right now.

A man with no formal position in Indian politics..,

yet one of the three high priests of ASM, the country's biggest political party..,

Baba Baldev..!!

Why should he come to this small State of Kerala...

and join hands with Jathin Ramdas..?

[Car sound]

I don't know where he is.

But everyday, in my prayers..,

his face is always the first to appear.

[Thunderclap]

Wherever he is..,

may he find peace.

If we closely observe history..,

one thing becomes clear.

After every great downfall..,

there are two common phrases that people always repeat.

"Could have..."

"Should have..."

Within these two phrases hides a silent, unspoken letter.

And its silence...

is the cause of the catastrophe that ensues.

And that letter is...

This is the largest single shipment they've ever moved.

It could be worth a billion dollars or more.

We believe they're using Senegal as a transit zone to Europe.

Although the intel isn't fully reliable..,

we have reasons to believe he maybe helping McCarthy.

Who do we have on the ground..?

Michelle Menuhin of the SAS and the team of commandos are in position...

at the Guinea border.

As soon as the convoy crosses over to Sierra Leone, they will intercept...

[Grand background score]

[Music ends]

[Mysterious music]

It's about something you asked me long back.

I don't know if you're still interested in this.

But I have some new information on...

Khureshi-Ab'raam.

Yeah. Yes, of course.

I'm interested.

What do you have..?

You will have complete access to McCarthy's entire database.

You can find the necessary intel there.

Your mission head will be Boris Oliver.

You'll report entirely to him from now on.

The new assignment is the Khureshi-Ab'raam nexus.

To bring them down!

Like I have mentioned before..,

these drug cartels and Jihadi groups…

are generally against K-A.

Sometime in the last 72 hours..,

in West Africa..,

K-A group executed an operation against a drug cartel.

Unfortunately, during that operation..,

the K-A nexus killed an Interpol agent.

So, the top priority on the hit-list of every Western Agency...

is the Khureshi-Ab'raam nexus.

This is personal for me.

They killed Robert.

The Kabugas are a drug cartel.

And Khureshi-Ab'raam in their entire history...

has been against the drug trade.

K-A was after Kabuga and the drug shipment.

Robert was only collateral.

That file..;

it only contains a few features...

and news articles already available on the dark web.

But this...

This is deeply classified!

The files and photographs inside…

They’re top-level information.

Heavily encrypted too.

Once opened, every file will auto-delete when you close it.

Robert McCarthy was a friend, sir.

He had been after the K-A nexus for years now, and I know this.

Even the image we're seeing now was first identified by Robert.

He wasn't just collateral.

Agent Menuhin!

You may not be aware, but there is a new force at play.

A larger nexus!

Maybe even more powerful than K-A.

Chinese, in origin..,

called the 'Shen Triad'.

The agencies have a code name for them.

Karthik..,

have you...

heard of the 'God Axis'..?

- What..? - 'God Axis'!

The 'Shen Triad'!

Why should I know this..?

Because the enemy of an enemy...

is a friend..,

Agent!

I am not…

forever.

As someone once said..,

"My children are not…

my legacy-bearers.

Those who bear my legacy..,

shall by default, be my children."

In Nedumpally..,

this time..,

the one contesting in my place..,

is my heir..,

the one who bears my legacy..,

and in that way..,

my rightful son..,

Stephen.

From whose phone..?

Rawuther.

If we wait any longer…

that land will be destroyed, beyond redemption.

Stephen must return.

And I… need to tell him that myself.

Anything like that..?

No. Why..?

Mr. Sudharman, with this merger, is Kerala going to change..?

Kerala offers nothing more than a mere 20 curry leaves.

And out of those 543…

I don’t need to tell you how many belong to ASM, do I..?

Ensure that every case filed against me by the central agencies is closed for good.

And IUF (PKR)'s funding for the next five years..,

must be guaranteed.

Isn't it the first deposit in the new party’s account..?

Let’s just say it’s a generous gift from Baldev Ji.

I don’t get it, Bhaiyya.

Why put in so much effort for Kerala..?

Munna, two major container terminals..,

four international airports..,

a 600-kilometre-long coastline..,

and its politics..?

A complete wreck.

This is the perfect opportunity.

You’re the one contesting the election, not me.

Stephen!

You have a problem, Govardhan.

The very people you fight against…

have always used you as their weapon..,

every single time.

Once, without even you realizing it..,

I had used you, myself.

And today, with your full knowledge..,

some others are is using you.

Tell me, Stephen.

What are you hiding from the world..?

A lot..!!

The internet and the dark web.

They’re only good for dropping clues and playing riddles, Govardhan.

If you really want the truth..,

you’ve got to be ready to travel blindfolded like this..,

without knowing where you’re going.

Shall I say what you came all the way here to tell me, Govardhan..?

Jathin Ramdas has lost his way…

So astray.., that no one can bring him back.

Who will save God’s own country now..?

No idea.

You don’t even know who to turn to, for help.

When the Son of God himself succumbs to sin..,

who else is there to turn to, but the Devil?

Isn't it?

Stephen!

What exactly is your connection with the Khureshi-Ab'raam gang?

Once, I had spotted a ring on your finger…

- That-- - I'll be using you once more.

But this time, you will play the game, knowing my rules.

You’ll only know what you need to know…

Only when you need to know it.

Isn't that enough..?

Yes.

But answer this one question.

Who are you, really..?

Across ages, across lands, many have called me...

by many names.

Yet, of all the names I’ve been given..,

my favourites are...

the three names you gave me.., each bearing the same meaning.

Lord of the Netherworld...

The one condemned and stoned at Jamrah…

The one cast out from Heaven...

Mahiravana.

Iblis.

Aren't you a CIB Officer..?

Do you also need a third-rate hacker...

to track down Stephen Nedumpally’s whereabouts..?

Sir, you're wrong.

Every agency in the world uses search dogs like Govardhan.

Yeah, right!

More often than not..,

it’s people like him who tread the paths we can’t walk…

and pick up the information...

none of us can access.

And also, the most important thing is..,

when Stephen Nedumpally vanished from this State, five years ago..,

the last person he contacted... was Govardhan.

So, he's our best bet.

But there's something I don't understand here.

A man who was once just a mere legislator in Kerala politics…

Why does he still scare you, sir?

Especially when you have someone like Baldev backing you.

Karthik..,

I had no political lineage, except for a surname.

If he could bring me in from oblivion,

and make me sit on the Kerala Chief Minister's chair..,

there’s something we don’t know…

in Stephen Nedumpally’s story.

A political force that every party in this State...

feared equally.

That was Stephen Nedumpally.

And now, as I make the biggest political decision of my life…,

I need to be absolutely sure that Stephen Nedumpally...

wouldn’t be there to obstruct my path.

So, tell Baldev.

I want a guarantee...

that Stephen Nedumpally will not be a part of this equation.

Ever again!

Former Nedumpally legislator...

and PKR’s favourite protégé, Stephen Nedumpally..,

has been killed in a terrorist attack in Iraq, as per unconfirmed reports.

While the total civilian death-toll is still unknown,

it is reported that Kerala's ex-legislator and IUF party member, Stephen Nedumpally--

Further details, confirming that it was indeed Stephen Nedumpally who got killed..,

are expected to be released shortly by the Indian Consulate in Iraq.

Since stepping down as legislator,

for the past five years,

Stephen had distanced himself from politics and Kerala.

[Mobile notifications]

['Lucifer' movie's background score]

After PKR’s passing,

a leader widely regarded by party members and political observers...

to be the next Chief Minister of the State...

has been lost to us too soon.

When PKR relinquished the Nedumpally seat..,

Stephen had proven, in a short span of time,

what a leader should truly be to his people.

Preliminary reports indicate that...

Stephen Nedumpally was killed under mysterious circumstances.

- Nedumpally ex-legislator... - Let’s meet on the 24th.

Stephen Nedumpally has reportedly been killed in a terrorist attack in Iraq.

The loss feels even greater, because Stephen was a leader...

who worked among his people and stood for their welfare.

Oh, come on!

This could be a defeat for IUF.

But you don’t need to worry about RPI (M).

Ours was a movement that braved the cannons of the British..,

and faced the wrath of Indira’s police..,

to emerge victorious.

Hmph!

This is exactly the problem with you and your comrades.

Inchavila in the south!

Muthanga in the north!

Aryankavu, Kumily, and Walayar in the east!

Your so-called 'movement' can flex its muscles only within those borders!!

That’s your RPI (M)!

The batons and the cops here could be a joke for you.

But what’s coming... is a whole different beast!

It's Baldev..!! Baldev..!!

For the past 150 years..,

IUF has somehow managed to keep these forces at bay.

And do you know how we were able to do that..?

It was our leaders..,

who took great pains to comprehend them.., and learned exactly how to stop them.

That's how our leaders made textbooks of their lives!

Unlike you, we were led by those great men!

That’s why!

Yeah, right! And where has it got you now..?

You'll be on a three-month paid leave.

You... Err...

You get yourself well, Agent.

Oh! By the way..,

you have to go.

It is the land that made PKR who he was.

If you don’t go there..,

PKR's 40-year old political legacy...

Jathin.

I will never say that I am on his side.

But to oppose him, openly--

Hello..?

Priya, you must not go to that function today.

And this is not a request.

What if I go..?

The value you attach to the tag 'Daughter of PK Ramdas'...

is non-existent now, Priya.

And the hope that Stephen Nedumpally is going to return;

that too is dead now.

So, listen carefully.

This is not PKR’s son…

or Priyadarshini Ramdas’s brother talking.

This is the Chief Minister of this State talking.

You will not go!

It is the land that made me who I am.

Several years before you and I were even born..,

the king ruling a vassal state of the British Empire..,

in his eagerness to prove his loyalty to them..,

had signed a deal...

to build a reservoir...

that was to remain here for 999 long years!

The Nedumpally Dam.

Those monarchs are all gone.

We drove out the colonial rulers as well.

And yet, even today..,

under the guise of democracy..,

we are still being ruled by kings!

The solution to the dangers posed by this dam…

isn’t to build a tentative enclosure and call it a check dam.

Both you and I know that.

Then why…

are they seizing the lands of the poor tribals..,

encroaching forest land..,

laying foundation stones..,

beating up all who raise their voices..,

and rushing the whole process..?

To fund their upcoming election campaign..,

they've pocketed commissions under the pretext of building this check dam.

Betraying this land, betraying its people..,

who exactly are these so-called leaders loyal to..? Whoever they are..,

I will stop them!

You will stop them!

We will stop them!

[Applause and cheering]

I do not believe…

that blood ties hold any value over human lives.

I know that the one who's standing against me in this fight…

is my own brother.

But... in the name of PK Ramdas,

who forever stood as Nedumpally’s guardian..,

I swear, as his daughter..,

that until my very last breath..,

I will not step back from this fight for justice!

just as God sent mothers;

To places so vile that even God turns away in disgust..,

what happened in Nedumpally yesterday… should never have happened.

What should I do now..?

You must actively return to the IUF. That's what we--

I will.

[Powerful background score]

But... I have four conditions.

Condition One:

My joining formalities with the IUF…

must be completed here and now.

Two:

I will not be joining as just another member.

I'll be stepping in as the leader of this party.

[Powerful background score]

Three:

If I assume leadership of this party..,

within hours..,

central investigation agencies will issue a non-bailable arrest warrant against me.

every leader of this party must stand with me.

Do you think she can live up to that, Bro..?

Dude!

If she is truly destined to become a leader who understands the pulse of the people..,

then today.., she'll do three things differently.

What are those..?

One:

She won't show up today, looking like how people are used to seeing her so far.

[Powerful background score]

Two:

The fancy foreign car she always uses?

That's not what she'll be arriving in, today.

Sumesh!

Great leaders aren't made…

just by giving a few street-corner speeches..,

by having their rivals taken out by hired thugs..,

or by forcing people to swap black masks for white ones!

Then..?!

They will be able to ignite something within people,

without the people even realizing it.

And what's that.., Bro?

Hold on.., I'll tell you.

[Indistinct conversation]

[Powerful background score]

[Music continues]

Namaskaram.

I don't know if I am qualified enough to lead the IUF.

But..,

those willing to concede this land to communalism...

Those who are prepared to buy out this land...

Whether Priyadarshini Ramdas is a worthy adversary to them..,

we'll find out today, right here.

If the only label they have assigned me...

is that of a long-dead great leader's daughter..,

they will not fear me.

On the contrary..,

if they fear that PK Ramdas's daughter...

might gain the public support to lead this land towards peace and brotherhood..,

against the direction they choose to steer us..,

then, that fear…

will be witnessed by all of you today.., right here.

Let them through.

[Intense music]

[indistinct chatter]

Officer!

Do you have an arrest warrant..?

Yes, Ma'am.

What are the charges against me..?

Well...

PMLA Section 19..,

for money laundering.

There are more than five cases.., Ma'am.

All non-bailable..,

right..?

Yes, Ma'am.

What is the arresting procedure..?

Nothing. You just have to come with us.

According to these sections..,

shouldn't I be handcuffed at the time of my arrest..?

Yes, Madam. But...

Then handcuff me.

I said..,

handcuff me!

[Intense music]

Oh no! Don't do that!!

[Powerful music]

Long live Priyadarshini Ramdas!!

These handcuffs on my hands.

You must see them. All of you.

The whole world must see them.

This is how they bind the hands that rise...

against injustice, violence and communalism.

But..,

they can only chain our hands.

They can never defeat our ideologies.

Far stronger than these chains...

are the politics and culture of this land.

Long live.. Hind!

[Powerful music, cheering]

Wow!!

The third one:

Didn't I say that a true leader can ignite something unique within their followers..?

- Do you realize what that is, now? - Yes!

Goosebumps!!

One is history! The second has fallen!

But, here comes the third!!

Is there no end to this..?!

[Intense music]

Okay, sir.

I'm on an important trip right now. I'll call you back later.

So, tell me once again.

What's today's agenda..?

Nothing major, sir. Just a formality.

We're just meeting Baldev Ji…

to finalize things.

- That's all. - Hmm.

Oh, and after that..,

at the ASM anniversary event in Thiruvananthapuram..,

we will officially announce...

our political alliance, at a joint press conference.

You and I, sir.

Hmm.

[Intense music]

Please come, CM sir.

Get in.

Huh..?

I...

Chief, at the back..?

[in broken Hindi] Munnabhai, the CM doesn't speak Hindi.

I c... can... translate.

Very well.

[in proper Hindi] That won't be necessary.

I can understand Hindi.

And I can speak it very well too.

Let's go.

But I...

Damn it!

Pradham, Doosri, Praveshika, Rashtra, Bhushan, Visharad...

All that for what..?!

The minute he got a chance, that Malayali switched to Hindi and sped away.

What will we do now, Chief..?

After calling me 'Chief' and tagging along everywhere,

are you also going to curse me and vanish?

Never! What is this.., Chief?

[Music ends]

I don't know who they were!

But right from beginning.., there was one name he truly feared!

Stephen.

Just before the attack, I got the information that Stephen is still alive.

Brother!!

In India..,

especially in the IUF..,

there's an unwritten commandment.

When a political god dies..,

even if there are followers...

with the ability and administrative experience...

to continue the good things he started..,

they will not be supported.

Illicit offsprings... shall not even be touched.

If the dogs, foxes, and cattle of the party have to be kept in line...

without any infighting..,

if there has to be applause..,

if ballot boxes are to be filled..,

the ones who bear the facial features and skin colour of the departed God..,

his legitimate offsprings...

must be crowned and paraded.

But I was wrong.

It didn't take you even five years…

to prove that even legacy comes with chaffs.

To sit and listen to this speech of yours..,

to obey everything you say..,

I am not that old Jathin anymore.

I am the CM who rules a State.

I didn't get so far, riding on my father's name.

By taming the dogs you spoke of earlier..,

by silencing the foxes..,

and by milking the cattle..,

if I could make it this far..,

then I know exactly how far I need to go…

and how to get myself there.

But, brother..,

the fact that Stephen Nedumpally...

could make it even this far..,

is a miracle in itself.

I don't know who you're doing this for.

But, whoever is behind this..,

if they think...

they can just go back to wherever they came from, after doing this..,

then you're mistaken.

Because today..,

PK Ramdas isn't here to save you.

Déjà vu!

Someone else had said this very line to me, once before.

[Lucifer theme score]

[Phone ringing]

Jathin is calling.

This is not Jathin.

Who the hell are you..?

Do you even know who you're messing with..?

I know..,

Balraj!

Karthik...

Balraj Patel.

I know the entire history of how he became... Baba Baldev.

Tell him that.

If Baldev wants his Dusshasan back..,

Priyadarshini Ramdas must walk free from the detention centre..,

before the sun sets tomorrow.

"All charges against her...

have been dismissed due to lack of evidence...".

That must be the headline...

on every news channel's prime time, tonight.

Tell Baba Baldev this.

At the place of my choice..,

at the time I decide..,

if he comes, under the conditions I set..,

we shall settle an unfinished score...

with him.., there.

That night...

They... They came and--

Hindustan!!

So.., who is the real enemy of your community and your faith?

Hindustan!!!

Then tell me… who truly deserves your vengeance..?

Hindustan!!!

Insha Allah!!

Every land shall echo with the cry…

Revenge!!!

That day, I told you...

Your vengeance.

One day, it will no longer be yours alone.

The ATS and Kerala Police thwarted a terrorist attempt...

to bomb the Nedumpally Dam.

It was following an anonymous phone call...

that a catastrophe that could have destroyed central Kerala…

was stopped just in time.

The State held its breath.., as moments of fear gripped an entire land...

Politics has certain truths to it.

Truths.., which the so-called ordained heirs..,

who ascend and descend the ladders of power on the strength of their lineage..,

tend to forget..,

or rather, deliberately choose to forget.

Certain indisputable truths!

The truth.., that it was their ancestors,

who had readied the ladder-rungs they ascend.

The truth.., of those who understood the true value...

of every single drop of sweat shed upon those rungs.

The truth.., of those who realized...

the real might of people's trust.

The truth.., of those...

who cemented the ladders with their great sacrifices.

The truth.., that what is yet to come...

is greater than what has already happened.

The truth.., that beyond victories and defeats..,

lies one's never-ending duty toward one's people and one's land.

The truth.., that the gathering... is greater than the podium.

[Background music]

Rohan, can I take today's Prime Time?

Sure, Ma'am.

The truth.., that when a leader betrays his cause..,

what gets destroyed, are the hopes and dreams of millions.

[Background music]

The truth.., that each act of remembrance…

is also a reminder in itself.

[Vehicle sounds]

Ma'am, you're going live.

Five... Four...

Three...

The truth.., that the applause that rises for every heir apparent...

carries within it... the respect towards their predecessors.

But time and again..,

these so-called ordained heirs keep forgetting these undeniable truths.

And then..,

only two outcomes await them.

Either damnation into absolute obscurity..,

or the path to...

eternal resurrection.

You have only two choices now, Jathin.

One:

Return to the IUF unconditionally..,

stand by Priya with unwavering support..,

be an obedient party worker..,

Two:

Lend yourself to greater evil once again..,

and end up like a Bimal Nair or a Baldev;

yet another controversial headline splashed across the front pages.

The decision is yours.
