SHRI RAMESH KUMAR TRUST GUESTHOUSE,
SHIVPURI

Your Honor, she is Manju Singh.

She brutally murdered two innocent lovers

in the greed of money.

She didn't even stop to think

that their life together had just started.

Look at their fate.

They had eloped from home and come to stay

at Shri Ramesh Kumar Trust
Guesthouse in Shivpuri,

which was managed by this woman.

But her intentions changed when she
saw the cash and jewellery they had.

She assured them that they were safe.

And one night, she entered
their room to commit robbery.

They tried hard to stop her,

but she lost her temper.

And she struck them on the head with this

due to which they lost their lives.

Your Honor, this is an open and shut case.

All the proofs, witnesses
and circumstantial evidences

are against her.

A brutal criminal like her
must be sentenced to strict punishment.

That's my request to the court.

Considering all the testimonies
and evidence,

this court sentences
the accused, Manju Singh,

to 28 years of rigorous imprisonment

and a fine of Rs. 25,000.

The court is adjourned.

VADH 2

Here's the list for this week.

Make a nice cup of tea for a change.

Manju, get me four beedis
and you will get good tea tomorrow.

Okay. This is fine.

But clear the previous dues.

No credit anymore.

Yes.

We cannot take undue advantage
of your lover's kindness.

After you leave,
he won't even give us credit.

Yes. Tell me.

The list of goods is ready.
When will you pick it up?

- Shall I come tonight?
- Yes.

In my dreams… Hello?

Hello?

- What is your name?
- Samar Singh.

- Full name?
- Samar Singh Chauhan.

- Which Chauhan?
- Sir, the high class.

- So drive faster, Mr. Chauhan.
- Yes, sir.

DISTRICT JAIL SHIVPURI, MP

One initial here.

Yes, sir.

Sir, the officer before you,
Mr. Mihir Manik,

had submitted an approval
for the orderly quarters.

With your permission,
I'll get the project started.

Pandit, I love to live alone in peace.

Who knows which caste
the laborers will be?

What will be the caste
of the orderly entering the house?

They will make a mess in the house.

I will sign it anyway.

Get it built for the next jailer.

But after my retirement.

After I leave this place. Okay?

Sir, you are a saint.

Sir, you said that you would
inspect the women's ward.

When?

Okay. Inform the female warden.

- We will go.
- Yes.

- May I go, sir?
- Go.

Manju.

Hey, Manju!

Hey! Shh!

Charu.

Open it.

Are you crazy?

My duty is almost over.

Wait.

Take this.

Now open it.

- Come back soon.
- Yes.

Seventeen rupees. Rajesh Yadav.

Twenty-seven…

Who did I give 27 to?

Who did I give it to?

Are you there?

After some time,
you won't have to sneak out

for a breath of fresh air.

It's good.

I doubt it.

I like living among them now.

At least I am living my life
on my own terms.

A new jailer just arrived. Have you heard?

He is obsessed with caste.

You are a Singh, aren't you?

Singh. Oh, yes!

Give me the list too.

There are cameras being installed
all over the jail.

That's going to cause problems.

- Let me settle the outstanding account--
- You make me feel petty.

I have to settle the accounts
with the other witches too.

Yes.

You will have to.

Open the safe.

What is this for?

Today is my birthday.

I turned 59 today…

Oh!

Then I should give you a gift.

- Tell me something.
- What?

You have been meeting me
for so many years.

You never spoke about your family.

I had a wife.

She was nice.

She passed away.

I had a son. I mean, I still do.

I got him educated.

Took a loan to send him abroad.

Later, I heard that he got married.

He doesn't even answer the phone.

The debt has to be repaid.

So I smuggle in toothpaste, combs,

and smuggle out vegetables.

Shall I tell you something?

I don't have any regrets.

- Ask me why.
- Why?

I get to meet you.

I feel content.

- What about children?
- Whose?

Your son's.

Yes. He has a daughter.

She is named Erika.

Tell me.

What sort of a name is Erika?

Erika Mishra.

Erika.

By the way, it's not a bad name.

Yes. It must be nice since you like it.

The stars look beautiful today.

Do you also see them the way I do?

The prisoners in barrack-five are okay.

Okay, I have to go.

Otherwise, Charulata will lose
her job because of me.

I am going.

The prisoners in barrack-four are okay.

Yes. I am still here. Still here.

Happy birthday, Mr. Mishra.

Sir, open the door.

I'm busy. It is very cold today.

Mishra, you've been doing
frequent rounds these days.

You take the vegetables out
every couple of days.

Yes. So what?

I water them and add manure.

- I work overtime twice a day.
- Alright.

That's how vegetables grow.

- Open the gate.
- Hey! Can we check it once?

He will spoil the tomatoes again.

- Let him do it.
- Hey! The cauliflower!

The cauliflower ends up full of holes.

Don't do it. Listen, buddy!

I am forced to cut them
before selling them.

All my efforts go in vain.
What are you doing?

Shouldn't I do my duty?

To hell with your hard work.

What did you say? Hey!

Stealing also takes hard work. Got it?

You better not speak.

You are here on compassionate grounds.

- Thanks to your father.
- Let it be. I'll open the lock.

Yes, open it. It gets spoiled.

- Go on. Leave.
- I am going.

Such hatred for vegetables!

Go, mister.

Shambhu's off to Haridwar…

Shambhu's off to Haridwar

Riding a cycle

Shambhu…

Sir, I am Jitesh Narang.
I am the Head Warden.

Hello, sir.
I am Nadeem Khan, the Junior Warden.

Mr. Bhure has sent this bouquet of love

and an English drink for you.

Mr. Bhure… I mean, inmate Keshav's

older brother, the MLA…

He addresses Keshav as Bhure.

So all of us
also address him as Mr. Bhure.

He has a status. Right, Shambhunath?

How is Keshav related to you?

I mean Mr. Bhure?

Well…

When the previous jailer joined--

I don't care…

how this place functioned before me,

but now it will function according to me.

Supplying cigarettes,
marijuana, liquor and such things

to the inmates has to stop.

Yes.

This is a jail, not a hotel.

What is your name?

Nadeem Khan.

Stop treating the inmates like your dad.

Your mom will feel offended.

Got it, all of you?

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

Leave.

Yes, sir.

Come on, get down quickly.

Hurry up.

Come on, hurry.

Hey! Get down.

Move.

Move. Go.

Stand straight.

Straight.

- Don't you know how to form a line?
- Look at them.

Where do you think you're going?

- Name?
- Meena.

- Age?
- 49.

Move on.

Next one?

- Name.
- Kanta.

Full name?

Kanta Manoj Yadav, as if you don't know.

Name?

Naina Kumari.

You're way too young
to be committing crimes.

Age?

What is your age?

Twenty-two.

Go in.

Hurry up.

- Go.
- Come on.

Move it!

Hey, princess!
Do I have to come and get you?

Are you deaf?

- Hey! Come on.
- Please.

- Name?
- Meera Das.

- Age?
- 50.

Take them off.

- Take them off.
- Please, no.

Take it off! Ma'am, she isn't cooperating.

What happened?

You may go.

- What is the problem?
- Ma'am, I…

Show me your tongue.

Untie your hair.

Untie them or…

Take off your sweater.

- Ma'am.
- Take it off.

No…

You should have thought
about it earlier.

Come on.

Raise your hands.

There you go. Now show what you can do.

- Sit.
- Don't underestimate me.

Did you get our money?

There you go.

Excellent, Manju!

You are a champ.

Who is the new girl?

Money was embezzled.
I heard she worked at a bank.

The manager used her
as a scapegoat to save his job.

Listen. Remove your goods
from the barracks in a day or two.

Ms. Rajni will come for inspection.

It's the new superintendent's order.

I will hide them in the dispensary.

Tell me.

What have you thought about your future?

What will you do?

Where will you go?

What is the point in thinking?

There was a time I thought
I'd spend my whole life here.

This is my entire world.

I hardly remember anything
of the outside world.

Can I ask you something?

Will you not ask if I refuse?

I have known you for several years.

Did you really kill those youngsters?

What do you think?

What difference does it make
whether you killed them or not?

You got what you were destined for.

For years, I used to think
it was a nightmare.

That I would wake up at some point.

Forget it.

You can stay here with me.

Your friend lives in the neighbourhood.

Okay. Cheers.

Cheers.

All inmates, pay attention.

Four inmates from the female ward
have their court hearing today.

Their names are Krishna Devi,

Narmada Tiwari.

Sonika Singh and Naina Kumari.

Be ready outside your barrack

- at sharp 12 o'clock.
- Go, dear. You'll get bail today.

The rest of you can get back to work.

Hey!

Come here.

Come on.

Very good.

Very good.

Drive.

Drive now.

DISTRICT AND SESSION COURT,
SHIVPURI, MADHYA PRADESH

Come on.

Hurry up.

Move.

Who was the new girl?

Who? There were a couple of new girls.

There was only one
who looked like a woman.

RAJNI SHARMA

Other than you.

Name?

Is your family okay?

Your daughter
must have started attending college.

Naina.

Have you brought all the documents?

I have all the evidence
and the bail money.

You know
that I haven't done anything and…

Listen.

Bring that lawyer to me.

Mr. Bhure, did I make any mistake?

I am working on it. I am trying my best.

Your brother has said
it's better for you to stay in jail.

Otherwise, I would have
gotten you bail a long time ago.

I am working on it.

Try harder

and bring that lawyer to me.

Yes, sir.

I will call him.

Lawyer, Mr. Bhure is calling you.

- Me? Excuse me.
- Yes. Please come.

Sir, he is here.

Greetings, sir.

You are that girl's lawyer.

Yes, sir.

- Have you come to get her bail?
- Yes, sir.

I've brought all the evidence
and arranged the bail amount too.

- Today, the bail--
- How will she get bail?

Sir, it will be done.

It's a minor case
and the charges are fake.

Sir, I will try my best…

She should not get bail today.

- What, sir?
- Yes, sir.

Manju, the bathroom stinks.

- Shall we tell him if he asks?
- Why do you care?

Don't you make them clean it
before you use it?

Keep quiet.

No need to say anything.

Answer only what you're asked. Understood?

Come, over here.

Get in line.

Over here.

Hey.

My name is Prakash Singh.

What did the jailer say his name was?

Prakash Singh.

Prakash Singh…

For many years,
I have been trying to improve

the lives of inmates like you.

I will continue to do the same
in the future too.

If you have any complaints…

and don't want to mention it now,
no problem.

You can drop it in the complaint box
without writing your name.

It will reach me.

Prakash Singh?

You were supposed to get bail today.
What happened?

I didn't do anything.

I didn't commit any theft.

Everybody in here says the same thing.

They are here
due to a cruel twist of fate.

I am feeling very scared.

Get used to it.

Life will become easier.

- Sir.
- Yes?

Haven't you been in here longer this time?

That's right.

I am also fed up.

Sir, your brother should get you out now.

Moron!

Do you think I cannot get out by myself?

My brother is keeping a distance
because of elections.

"Don't do this. Don't do that."

What does it mean?

How many times have I told this old man

not to wash clothes in my area?

Call him.

Hey, old man!
Sir is calling you. Come here.

Why are you calling him with so much love?

Hey, old man!

Hey!

The old man is hard of hearing.

Wait and watch.
Sir will become a doctor now.

Drink the tea.

It will get cold.

Come here.

Your nose and ears are failing,

but you still want to live.

Why?

I called out to you.
Didn't you hear, old man?

What happened?
Do you want to get your ears treated?

I will treat your ears.

Don't worry.

Can you hear now?

I will treat your ears.

You old rascal!

Look at this. Treatment for the ears.

Bloody old man! Can you hear now?

Can you hear?

Now listen.

Can you listen? Now listen.

What will you say when I call you again?

"Yes, Mr. Bhure.

I am coming, Mr. Bhure."

Do you hear me?

EVERY DIFFICULT SITUATION
BRINGS NEW STRENGTH

Yes?

- Prakash.
- Yes, sir?

Did you put Keshav
in solitary confinement?

Sir, he was beating up people
in jail. So--

Bring him out.

I am facing pressure
from higher authorities.

Sir, if we let him go,
it will set a wrong example.

His brother will set you up
as a wrong example. Okay?

- No, sir.
- Bring him out.

It's an order!

Come out, Mr. Bhure.

Hey, Mr. Bhure!

Come out.

Mr. Bhure, the jailer's face
swelled up like a pumpkin

when his superior called up.

You know, I called up your older brother.

Shall I tell you something, sir?

He doesn't respect anybody.

Do you know?

When I went to him with your gift,

he humiliated me terribly.

It felt as if the rascal
made me lick the floor.

He humiliated me badly.

- Hello?
- Keshav speaking.

From a solitary confinement cell.

Who are you?

This is the Keshav helpline.

Press 1 if you want to talk to your dad.

Press 2 if you want to talk
to your brother-in-law.

If your wife wants to talk to me, press 3.

Asshole.

Sir, get some rest.

I will also go and do my duty.

Open the gate! Hurry!

Open the gate!

Open the gate! Asshole, the gate!

Get up!

Open it, you rascal!

- Rascal, you are sleeping on duty!
- Sir.

- Sir? So late at night?
- Open it!

Sir, I can't see the keyhole.

- I see it now.
- Open it!

Move! Scoundrel!

Sir, what happened?

Sir, at this hour…

- Sir, you…
- Give that to me! Move!

Oh, Lord! Sir.

Sir, what's wrong?

Sir…

Sir.

What is it?

Scoundrel!

Get up!

Get up!

Asshole.

Scoundrel!

Have you had enough
of proving your manhood,

or do you want to keep at it?

- Lock him up.
- Yes, sir.

I still have plenty of manhood left in me.

Charu, please open the door.

I want to go out for a while.

I am feeling restless.

Just for a little while. Please open it.

Prakash, how did Keshav escape?

Sir, we are investigating.

I had already warned you.
His brother is a crooked man.

Sir, such a thing has never
happened under my watch.

Now he is demanding an inquiry.

Sir, give me some time. I'll investigate.

I will have to send someone
to conduct an inquiry.

Alright, sir.

Who was on duty last night?

What? I was, sir.

It was Nadeem from 7 to 11 o'clock
and then Manoj.

Who did the roll call?

I did, sir. At 5 o'clock in the morning.

Sir, whenever I did the roll call
and called out Mr. Bhure's name,

I used to get a reply from inside.

"I am still here, you fucker.
I will escape tomorrow."

But, sir,
there was no reply this morning.

When I took a closer look,

the cell door was locked
and there was no one inside, sir.

It was already daylight,

but we still switched on the searchlight.

We scoured every corner of the jail,
but couldn't find him anywhere.

Sir, we called you up
but you didn't answer.

Everybody except Nadeem Khan
and Shambhunath can leave.

You accompanied me,

opened the lock to Keshav's cell…

What happened afterwards?

Then you beat him up

so brutally

that he probably peed in his pants.

I got a phone call.

There will be an inquiry.

Just answer what they ask…
If they ask.

Yes, sir.

Don't try to give extra information
from your side.

- Got it?
- Yes, sir.

Go.

DISTRICT JAIL SHIVPURI, MP

Good evening, sir.
I am Inspector Ateet Singh.

The local police station has received
a missing person report for Keshav.

So, sir, I have been sent here

as SIO for the inquiry.

What is your full name?

Sir, Inspector Ateet Singh.

Full name, Mr. Singh.

Sir, I am divorced.

Come in.

- Me, sir?
- You have come at the right time.

Give him a tour of our jail

along with Keshav's barrack.

Go on, Mr. Singh.

He will show you everything.

Yes. Thank you, sir.

What?

- Shambhunath.
- Yes.

Everybody is inside during the day today.

Mr. Prakash has put everyone
on high alert unnecessarily.

What are your duty hours?

Evening and night.

But for the sake of our country,
sometimes I work even during the day.

So, where were you
when this incident occurred?

Which incident, sir?

Tell me, Shambhunath.

I have already met the guard
at the main gate.

Where would I be? I was at home.

Yes.

So who was on duty?

Duty? Sir, I will have
to check the register.

Okay. Get the register for me

and bring someone from the department

who knows everything about the jail.

Okay, sir.

Sir.

"Nadeem Khan."

I will have to meet him.

Yes, sir.

And the person I asked for?

Myself, sir.

Shambhunath, one-liners won't do.

You will have to tell me the whole story.

Sir, I know only as much as you do.

That's what the entire jail
staff knows. That's all.

But, sir…

I will take the risk for your sake.

I will tell you everything.

It's my duty.
I will tell you everything off record.

But please don't reveal my name.

- It may so happen--
- Can you arrange for my stay here?

What?

Can you arrange for my stay here?

There's the record room,
but it is not fit for you.

I didn't come here to settle down.

Come.

Say 'Bismillah.'

Bismillah.

Hail Lord Ram.

- Come.
- Let's go.

Let me do it, sir. What are you doing?

Shambhunath,
I can't get this thing started.

Let me do it.
I will make tea for you, sir.

- He is Nadeem.
- Salutations, sir.

Yes, sir.

Tell me, Nadeem.

What happened yesterday?
Right from the beginning.

Well, I was just sitting and smoking.

I saw Mr. Prakash swearing
outside the gate…

I mean, he was calling me.

I rushed there and opened the gate.

He came in, took the baton
from my hand, kicked my behind

and rushed towards Mr. Bhure's barrack,

swore at me and told me
to open the door. So I did.

He went in.

He thrashed Mr. Bhure brutally.

He beat him up and left.

And then, I locked the barracks.

Did he come in his jeep?

Sir, a jailer is God.

He can come by airplane…

Sir, tea.

Sir, he was hitting him pretty hard.

And Mr. Bhure's voice, I mean…

Sir, I didn't hear his voice at all.

The jailer alone was yelling.

Sir, it was Mr. Bhure's habit

to create a ruckus without a reason.

- What are your duty hours?
- It keeps changing,

but on that day,
it was 5 o'clock in the morning, sir.

When did you check Keshav's cell?

Sir, at the time of counting.

At quarter past five in the morning, sir.

Sir, as soon as Manoj informed me,

I started investigating
as per the protocol.

Sir, we scoured every inch of the jail.

We checked every cell, every bathroom,

including the garden outside the barracks.

And we realised that he had escaped.

I will decide that.

What do I tell you, sir?

God created me like that.
Then He put me in prison--

Don't narrate the entire saga.

Come to the point.
Just answer his questions.

Imbecile.

- Shambhunath.
- Yes?

Make some tea for me.

Please.

Coffee.

Get lost!

He's a great guy.

- Will you tell me anything? Or should I…
- I will tell you, sir.

That scoundrel used to trouble me a lot.

But nobody else would trouble me.

So, I would endure it.

Every time he went to court,

he would see a girl and go crazy.

This time, it was some girl called Naina.

He said that she looks at him secretly.

That she is smitten by him.

Like we care.
They go for their trial and come back.

Then they go to court another day.

It's none of my concern
who goes with whom.

Fine. All of you may leave.

Naina Kumari.

Where will you sit?

Sit here.

Do you know Keshav?

No.

A few days ago,
we went to the court together.

I wasn't granted bail, sir.

So, we came back together.

That's it.

Somebody has tutored you and sent you.

No, sir. It's nothing like that.

Tell me again. In detail.

Sir, I have nothing else to say.

I have told you everything, sir.

So, he never tried to contact you again?

Sir, leave it.

She is a kid. She is coming back
to the same point.

I think she is speaking the truth.

No.

I just had a feeling…

Sorry, sir.

The cold has increased slightly.

It's snowing somewhere in the mountains.

Right, Tiwari?

What happened?

Angad, turn up the flames.

Is sir coming?

Sir doesn't rest even at night.

Sit.

So…

does the jailer…

Does he come every night, or…

Frankly, he never visits.

That was the first time.

Any other activity
which happened on that night?

Nothing special.

The same staff that's always here.

Shambhunath had come.

Tell me about those
who were not on duty.

Exactly, sir.

He came after duty hours.

Sir, it's nothing like that.

He visits a couple of times a week.

It's not a big deal.

Why does he come?

Sir, he sells the vegetables
grown in jail to people outside.

Sir, he has a son.

He took a loan for his education.

He does these side hustles
to repay the loan.

Yes, Dilip.

Open the door.

- Mishra.
- Open it.

I am opening it.

Come on.

- It's pretty late in the night.
- Yes.

Wait.

Bring your rickshaw over here,
under the light.

I have to check.

It's Mishra. The checking is done.

Hey! Open the door.

- Yes. I will let him go. Come.
- No.

Check it, come on.

I've brought it under the light. Do it.

Check…

It's just carrots,
bottle gourds, coriander.

Check it. Do whatever you want to do.

I have come in my father's place.

So I must do my duty.

Or my father's soul will be hurt.

- See, Tiwari.
- Do it.

It's become a routine now.

Wrong.

Look, dear. I will show you.
Give it to me.

Cauliflower.

Look. Touch it and see.

It's tender.

You need to poke it gently like that.

This is coriander. Just scrape it.

But you guys…

Take it, Tiwari.

How about a little one?

Yes. What happened next?

What do I say?

I've never seen such a dangerous jailer.

Had I not opened the gate,
he would have broken it.

As soon as I opened the gate,

he sped his car in like a rocket.

And once he went in, I could hear
the noise all the way from here!

He was using such foul language.

I've never heard him say it before.

- He thrashed him badly?
- Very badly.

In all these years,

I've seen several criminals
get beaten, but--

Could he be dead?

I don't know.

DIVAKAR VEGETABLE MART

Santosh, don't trouble me.

Oh, man!

Is this Shambhunath's shop?

His photo is up here, isn't it?

When was the last time
he brought vegetables?

I knew the long arm of the law
would catch up with him.

I told him
not to steal vegetables from jail.

That the prisoners would curse him
and he'd get caught one day.

It's the greed for a petty amount
that leads to a man's downfall.

Sir, I am not a part of the crime.

Just answer my question.

When was the last time he came here?

A couple of days ago.

And?

Sir, he came and asked me
to buy some liquor.

Go, buy some liquor.

It's too late at night for that.

You will get it at Kalari's place.
Just go to the lane in the back.

- Go and get it.
- Oh, man!

Go!

Moron!

DIVAKAR VEGETABLE MART

I got the liquor shop opened
and bought alcohol,

but he was gone.

Uncle?

DIVAKAR VEGETABLE MART

Sir, he must be at home.
Go and arrest him.

- What's his quarter number?
- Number three, sir.

Are you a police officer?

May I come in, Pandit?

Have I ever refused?
Please come in. Feel at home.

Come in, sir.

I will move the basket.

Please come in.

It's nice that you're here. Please come.

It's cold, I'll just…

Please sit here.

Sit here.

Sit.

Yes.

I was tired… I'm sorry, sir.

I have a few strong drinks at night.

- That's what I was doing.
- Even I'll have a few…

- Strong ones.
- Are you serious?

That's amazing!

Wonderful.

Glass…

Oh, God! Such a big freezer.

- Freezer?
- Yes.

Leave that.

A confectioner was locked up in our jail.

I took good care of him.

Proper hospitality.

- That's it.
- Enough.

After his release,

he sent the freezer to my shop.

Dear God!
It consumes a lot of electricity.

So I moved it here.
In the government quarters.

It's free after all.

So you make the government
pay the freezer's bill.

No, sir. The AC too.

I'm talking about the freezer, sir.

Sir, you won't believe me.

During summer, I just keep it open.

The entire room gets chilled instantly.

You should visit during summers.

- Ice?
- One.

Old liquor has a charm of its own.

Shambhunath, I'm leaving tomorrow.

What, sir?

I'm leaving tomorrow.

So soon?

Did you finish your work?
I mean, is the investigation over?

Yes. I questioned everybody.

Except you.

Sit.

Ask whatever you want.

So…

On the night Keshav escaped,
you went to the jail too.

Yes. For the vegetables…

I found out.

You brought the vegetables from jail.

And then, you went to the shop.

You told Chotu to move the vegetables.

Then you sent him to buy liquor.

But you returned without the liquor.

You are great.

You even spoke to Chotu.

Shambhunath, why didn't you
tell me this before?

What would I have told you? And how?

I steal from the jail.

I am in a difficult spot, sir.

I took a loan for my son's education.

Sent him abroad.

That imbecile
doesn't even answer my calls.

Who am I supposed to tell all this to?

And how?

I never told anybody.

The entire city knows your story,
Shambhunath.

You are right.

It's just a story for you.

But it's the reality for me.

Okay. Tell me.

Why did you return home
without the liquor?

I have grown old.

I can't even stand properly
by the end of the day.

I get exhausted. So I come here.

I lie down and have a few pegs.

Chotu was taking
a really long time that day.

So I thought, let me just go home
and skip the drinks.

Tell me something.

What do you think?

That I put Keshav in a sack,

loaded him onto my rickshaw
and dropped him somewhere outside?

It's possible, Shambhunath.

Everybody knows
that you're in desperate need of money.

No. I'm not that desperate.

Have you seen the weapons
those jail guards carry?

They are deadly!

Have you seen them? Wham!

They stab from every direction.

Not even a rat could slip out alive,

let alone a man.

Ice.

The jailer arrived in a drunken stupor.

He thrashed Keshav.

Nadeem locked Keshav's barrack.

Subodh came in the morning
and saw that Keshav was missing.

Tell me something, Shambhunath.

What do you think?

Let's assume that Keshav has escaped.

But how?

What was the need for him to escape?

A child is not born without a father.

Keshav found his father.

People say that Keshav
wasn't someone who would run away.

From what I know of him, he always
did what he was forbidden to do.

He got beaten by Mr. Prakash.

His older brother is upset with him.

He must have run away. Leave it, sir.

Well, Shambhunath…

- I will leave now.
- Yes, sir.

It's quite late.

- I have to leave in the morning.
- Yes, sir.

See you, sir.

PRAKASH SINGH JAIL SUPERINTENDENT

Ateet.

You haven't told me your full name yet.

Done with your investigation?

That's what I have come to do, sir.

Then do it.

Sir, I questioned every inmate
and every guard.

A day before his disappearance,

Keshav had brutally beaten
an elderly inmate.

Did you know that, sir?

He was insane.

I interfered. Otherwise he
would have killed that old man.

Sir, even you nearly killed… Keshav.

I am the superintendent of this jail.

I have some responsibility.

I have reformed
several inmates like Keshav.

Sir, isn't there any law here?

He used to flout the law around here.

I taught him a lesson.

Illegally.

Write whatever you want in your report

of a few pages.

In fact, you don't have to.

I will give you my statement.

I didn't ask you for a statement.

But since you are insisting…

I, Prakash Singh,

am giving this statement
in my full senses.

I drove to the jail
in my jeep at midnight.

I barged into Keshav's barrack

and beat him till he was half dead.

He escaped that same night.

If you want to write more,
then add this line too.

If I find him, I will hack him to death.

Bhairav Singh.

Don't bring the tea.

Sir is leaving today.

11 MONTHS LATER

Yes. Tell me.

Sir, the IG has called you.

He is in a bad mood, sir. I mean…

He told me to call you.

Are you there?

Sir, I am right here.
I came out to call you.

Handle the situation for a bit.
I am coming.

Yes, sir.

I heard rumors that a dead body
was found in the jail compound.

Hmm.

I am in Delhi.

I'm with the chief minister
of Madhya Pradesh.

I'll return in three or four days.

I will come to Bhopal
and meet you personally.

Just mumbling won't do.

I left him in jail because I trusted you.

No matter what he was like,
Bhure was my brother.

I will come and meet you personally.

Call that bloody three-star
when I come to Bhopal.

Take care.

What?

What mess did you make?

Look. I ignore several things about you

because you are an efficient officer.

You deliver results.

But you took Keshav's case too lightly.

I am sorry, sir. But what happened?

A dead body was found
behind Prakash's bungalow.

As per the initial forensics,

the body is approximately
10 to 12 months old.

Hasn't Keshav been missing since then?

Pray it's not Keshav's body.

Otherwise, I will send you
to the training academy forever.

Sir, give me some time.

I will sort it out.

Prakash isn't that reckless.

It's not the first time
he has thrashed someone.

Due to the pressure from the MLA,

suspending him was okay.

But this is not.

And you know we are related, right?

I'll tell you what.

Leave for Shivpuri immediately.

Sir.

Are you okay, Mom?

Go inside.

Sir.

This…

Sir, it's Keshav's skeleton.

The DNA matches
with the blood on the shirt.

So you got the confirmation
that it's Keshav's body.

You see, his brother is a powerful man.

He's also very dangerous.

And I'm seriously thinking
of feeding you to him.

I'm giving you three days

to find out who is responsible for this.

I spoke to Prakash.

He didn't murder him.

Three days.

Or send your resignation letter.

No need to come personally.

Sir! Leave it!

I will do it.

Leave it!

Done, sir.

This…

- Khan.
- Yes, sir.

You called me. And I rushed here.

Tell me.

Keshav's file has been reopened.

So, I thought of you.

Tell me again.

What happened that night a year ago?

Sir, it's an old incident.

I don't remember it clearly.

Sir, I had told you…

the jailer was screaming from outside.

He told me to open the gate. So I did.

Then he told me
to open Keshav's cell and I did.

He beat the hell out of him.

And I locked the cell again.

Oh, well!

I forgot to tell you something.

Sir, he had wet his pants.

If the jailer had not broken
the water pitcher,

it would have been confirmed.

Khan, I think you're forgetting something.

I am not forgetting anything, sir.
I was sitting and smoking.

The jailer screamed and I…

You didn't tell me how he died.

Died?

His dead body was found in the backyard
of Prakash Singh's government bungalow.

When Keshav was alive,
you treated him like your daddy.

When Prakash Singh
killed him and buried him

in his bungalow's backyard,

you made Prakash Singh your daddy.

How many daddies do you even have?

That's not how it is, sir.

I am not trying to save anyone.

I am speaking the truth.

I don't know who killed Keshav.

Keshav was alive
when the jailer left from there.

After the jailer thrashed him and left,

I tended to him.

Then Mr. Keshav said,
"Make a drink for me."

Make me a drink.

- Yes.
- Drink.

I made a drink for him.

And he made a phone call.

- Go and sit outside.
- Yes.

Who did he call?

I don't know.
From what I could make out,

I think it was Ms. Rajni.

Ms. Rajni…

I am coming.

Did I speak in a different language?

I said I am coming.

He told Ms. Rajni, "I am coming."

I begged him not to go
since he was badly hurt.

He said, "No."

Mr. Bhure, where are you going?

I will return in an hour or so.

This has already turned ugly.
Please don't go.

It's going to get uglier.

Mr. Bhure, listen to me.

Then he asked me
to open the barrack's back gate.

I opened it.

Then… three hours…

You cannot imagine
how I spent those three hours.

Then I thought maybe he had escaped.

I went inside. Fixed the bed.

Locked the cell.

At the gate, I made the entry
of my duty hours.

And I left. That's it.

Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

Had I spoken the truth,
I would have lost my job.

Would I have been able to join duty again?

The jailer got suspended
because of your report.

I was just a junior staff member.

So Keshav called up Rajni
and then left from there.

Yes. I think he went to meet Ms. Rajni.

Come in.

Come in.

Mom, go inside.

He's a senior officer, he's here to talk.

Sit.

Tea?

Tea…

- I'll have it.
- Okay.

Later.

Sit.

As it is, you all have wasted
a lot of my time.

And look.

Don't deny what I am about to say.

I have done my investigation.

So, let's not beat around the bush.

Fine.

The night Keshav disappeared,

he had called you.

You are saying you know everything.
So why are you asking me?

I am not asking you.

I am telling you.

He called you.

Now you tell me.

What did he say on the phone?

He was asking about Naina.

The girl you met in the office cabin.

He was after her.

He called me during the day.

He troubled me endlessly.

He called me again at night

when I was returning home
after finishing my duty.

He was sloshed.

Ms. Rajni, I am coming.

Sir, not today.

My duty is over.

Did I speak in a different language?

I said I am coming.

Just make the arrangement.

What could I do?

I got the girl ready.

And I took her to the dispensary.

Gudiya, is everything alright?

You haven't come home yet, Mom.

Yes. I'll be there soon.

This…

You.

Look.

He is drunk.

Totally stoned.

He won't last for long.

Afterwards, I won't let you
face any problem in jail.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Come on.

Come.

After dropping Naina,
I returned to my cabin.

I waited there.

But I couldn't wait for long.

I went back.

Naina was sitting outside.

She wasn't hurt.

She was absolutely fine.

Where is he?

I want to go.

Come on.

Freshen up and then go to bed.

I left her in the barracks

and returned home.

That's it.

Didn't you feel ashamed?

He was my husband.

He used to be very sick all the time.

Keshav used to pay for his treatment.

In exchange, he would sometimes…

My daughter was growing up.

I wonder whether you
will understand or not…

but the day he caught sight of Naina,

he threatened me not once, but twice.

It was either Naina or my daughter.

I am a mother.

I will obviously choose my daughter.

And I did that.

It means Naina was the last person
to see Keshav alive.

I don't know.

Hello.

Okay.

I wanted to see a chain.

Naina works here, right?

Hello, sir.

Ms. Naina.

You are unrecognizable.

You must have understood why I'm here.

Meet me at 7 p.m.
in the garden at the square.

For your own good.

Seven o'clock.

I… I met Ms. Rajni.

She told me that you were
the last person to see him.

- With you…
- Nothing happened.

- Ms. Naina…
- Nothing happened with me.

Whoever you are searching for
and for whatever reason,

I am that person.

You mean to say that you killed Keshav.

Yes. I killed him.

What's your motive?

You know where I live.

You have come to my place of work.

You can arrest me whenever you want.

Ms. Naina.

Look. I will reach to a conclusion anyhow.

I can help you

save the person you are trying to save.

And I promise.

I won't let anything wrong
happen to an innocent person.

But if I am removed
from the investigation…

I won't be able to do anything.

Sit.

Look. Don't worry.

I won't go back on my words.

Yes.

Tell me from the beginning.

After I went to the jail, my first hearing

was on the same day as Keshav's.

We traveled in the same vehicle.

That's when he saw me for the first time.

After a few days,
Ms. Rajni came to meet me.

TOILET

She told me in private

that she has some work for me that night.

You won't sleep in your barrack tonight.

Sleep in the smaller barrack.

Be ready. I will come to pick you up.

If you tell anyone, I won't spare you.

She came that night.

Took me from the barracks
to the jail dispensary.

Keshav was already waiting there.

Please.

Calm down.

Come on.

I am being polite!

I've had a rough day today.

Let's make love.

Come on.

Look.

Let's go there and talk. Come on.

Come.

No!

I am telling you politely!

You are not listening.

Get off me.

No.

- Quiet.
- Get off me.

- Keep quiet.
- Move! No!

Get off me!

No…

Go. Leave from here.

Run away.

Ms. Rajni will come.

Leave. I will handle it.

Come on, go!

But you…

I told Ms. Rajni that Keshav left

through the same gate from which he came.

I compelled her to leave with me

so that she doesn't see Ms. Manju.

I want to go.

Who is Ms. Manju?

She was a senior inmate.

She was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Her term was about to end in a few days.

Do you know Ms. Manju's whereabouts?

I asked Nafisa and Charulata
about her a few times.

That's when I found out.

What?

She runs a tea and Maggi shop
in the mountains.

Charulata and Nafisa?

What about them?

Charulata was a senior guard.

Nafisa was an inmate.

They were Manju's best friends.

Look. Nothing will happen
to Ms. Manju, right?

DISTRICT JAIL SHIVPURI, MP
MANJU SINGH

The number
you are trying to call is invalid.

Please check the number you have dialed.

The number you have dialed is invalid.

Any other activity that night?

Shambhunath had come, sir.

Tell me about those who were not on duty.

Exactly, sir.

He came after duty hours.

Have you seen the weapons
those jail guards carry?

They are deadly!

Wham!

They stab from every direction.

Not even a rat could slip out alive,

let alone a man.

But a dead man can.

What is your name?

Nafisa.

I see.

You are Nafisa.

Ms. Manju misses you a lot.

How do you know Manju?

She runs a tea and Maggi shop
in the mountains.

I am from the mountains.

Whenever I go home, I meet her.

She makes delicious Maggi.

So you are also from Dharamshala.

Yes.

- Jai Hind, sir.
- Jai Hind.

- Did you find the address?
- Sir, not the exact address.

But I've found out that an elderly couple

run a small shop
at a place called Sidhpur,

selling tea and Maggi.

Fine.

Listen.

Which way to Sidhpur?

Let's go.

LOTTERY
TEA AND MAGGI POINT

Listen.

- Is this Ms. Manju's cafe?
- Yes. This is her cafe.

Is she here?

No. She must be at home.

Where is her home?

Go up from here.

- Had you informed me, sir…
- Why?

Aren't you tired of deceiving people?

Come on, Ms. Manju. Start.

What? Start what? What?

The IG gave me three days.

I got Nadeem, Rajni
and Naina talking on day one.

Spent another day finding you.

I have only tonight.

So, don't waste time.

Ms. Manju, speak up.

No. You won't say anything.

Strange!

The entire force was deployed
for a rotten man.

The IG came into the picture.

It doesn't matter
how that man was, Shambhunath.

She has committed a murder.

Even if someone is nefarious,
she doesn't have the right to murder him.

She didn't commit a murder.

She executed him.

An execution.

That's why I supported her back then.

And I still do.

Why are you gasping, Manju?
What happened? Is everything fine?

Shambhunath,

I killed him!

I don't know him.

He was trying to rape Naina…

Don't cry. Manju, don't cry.

Where is he?

He is in the dispensary.

I want out of here, Shambhunath.

Get me out of here.

I want out of here.

Manju, calm down.

Go to Ms. Rajni's room.
The key to the backdoor…

Don't cry.

Bring the key to the back door.

Close the door.

Lock it and put the key
back in the same place.

From today, no phone calls or messages.

Nobody should find out
that we know each other.

If God wills,

we will meet again.

Close it.

You see, Shambhunath…

The law doesn't differentiate
between murder and execution.

The dead body has been found.

You will have to serve the sentence.

Will you guys come willingly?
Or should I call the local police?

The dead body has been found?

It was not found.

It was served to you on a platter.

What nonsense!

Shivpuri is surrounded by forests.

Let alone one,

even if we had murdered
ten Keshavs and buried them,

you wouldn't have found out.

The orderly quarters
were supposed to be built there.

Behind the jailer's bungalow.

Sir, the officer before you,
Mr. Mihir Manik,

had submitted an approval
for the orderly quarters.

I will sign it.

Get it built for the next jailer.

But after my retirement.

After I leave this place. Okay?

So, I knew…

the place would be dug up sooner or later.

You are talking about punishment.

The body was found in the backyard
of Prakash Singh's bungalow.

Did you find the ring?

Excellent, Keshav!

You did something good before dying.

Shambhunath, I admit
that Prakash Singh is not a saint.

But what you're saying is absolutely vile.

You are talking
about framing an innocent man.

She is the one who was innocent.

And yet she served a prison sentence
for two murders.

My name is Prakash Singh.

For many years, I've been trying
to improve the lives of inmates like you.

What did the jailer say his name was?

Prakash Singh.

Prakash Singh…

- Uncle!
- Shut up.

- He is my husband. I love him.
- Quiet!

Move! Keep quiet.

What are you doing?

Uncle!

Have you forgotten your place and caste?

How dare you set your eyes on my niece?

She ended up serving a sentence
for a crime he committed.

So, justice will be served when he suffers

his share of punishment, sir.

Only the powerful
can deliver justice here, sir.

The judge was powerful.

So he delivered the verdict.

One day, we were powerful.

So we delivered justice.

And today,

circumstances have made you powerful.

As for the rest,
do what you think is right.

In these few months,
we have lived our share of life.

Isn't it?

Did you get your job
through the reservation system?

Would I go in my jeep, kill Keshav,

keep his dead body in my jeep

and bury him in my backyard?

Do I look like an idiot?

I didn't kill him.

Had I killed him,

I would've proudly claimed
that I killed him.

Why didn't you proudly claim it
when you murdered Pankaj and Prachi?

What evidence do you have that I…

I don't have any evidence
for Pankaj and Prachi, sir.

But I have evidence for Keshav.

It's enough.

- This…
- It's yours, sir.

Take a look.

You murdered two people.

At least serve the sentence
for one murder.

The age of love has arrived

These eyes have begun to shy

May the heart not slip away

When it meets your gaze by mistake

This blush upon the face I see

Is patience born of love in me?

May the heart not slip away

When it meets your gaze by mistake

This evening belongs to me alone

Yet upon it, your name is sown

Ask me where it is today

It is a beautiful place

Here I would stop you still

Unless you bid me bye at will

The age of love has arrived

In your breeze I've begun to drift

My eyes now speak, with words they lift

For a while now

I've left my home behind

And found my dwelling in thoughts of you

If only arms could be our walls

That was the wish, the least of all

Our hearts were restless

Uneasy and undone

Till you came here

And the longing was gone

This evening belongs to me alone

Yet upon it, your name is sown

Ask me where it is today

It is a beautiful place

Here I would stop you still

Unless you bid me bye at will

The age of love has arrived

These eyes have begun to shy

May the heart not slip away

When it meets your gaze by mistake

The age of love has arrived
