Sri Lanka is facing its worst economic crisis ever.

Sri Lanka’s government is bankrupt.

The streets are flooded with protestors.

Petrol. Grains. Medicine.

Long queues for everything.

Amidst the chaos, the government

and their families have fled.

Furious protesters storm the Presidential Palace.

This reporter turned a 30-second reel,

into a full OTT episode.

Been on loop for ten minutes.

Auntie,

please change the channel.

A country has gone bankrupt.

You can’t even ten minutes?

Your generation really is restless and privileged.

Not our fault we were born in better times.

And anyway, this is Sri Lanka.

India isn’t bankrupt.

It did.

Almost.

India?

India.

Our India?

Our India.

Oh please!

India is the fourth-largest economy.

The India you live in,

and the one I grew up in,

are worlds apart.

Pre and post 1991 India,

feel like two separate nations.

Following Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait,

the US has warned of war.

If it breaks out,

oil prices could surge

triggering inflation in India.

Experts say the government

may struggle to contain it.

Sir, I’ll go fill up the petrol.

Okay.

Hike the oil. Face the fury!!!

Hike the oil. Face the fury!!!

Hike the oil. Face the fury!!!

Hike the oil. Face the fury!!!

Hike the oil. Face the fury!!!

- Oh Raman sir. - Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Just need to use my locker.

- Azgaonkar. - Yes, sir.

Show sir to the locker room.

Come, sir.

Sir, the business is finished.

No loan, and I'm on the streets.

I can't lend you anymore.

Here's my advice.

Find a job.

No job, sir.

So I started this business.

My wife is pregnant.

What future can I give my child?

I can’t stoop to begging.

I’m a graduate.

Sir, please leave.

Wait, I’m not finished yet. Sir, please.

- Sir, do something. - Take him away.

I’ve known you for years.

Excuse me, sir. Please sign here.

I beg you, sir.

Fill it up for 20 rupees. Or I'm not moving.

Or I'm not moving.

I’ve filled.

- What more do you want? - Filled?

This machine’s rigged.

I know my bike.

It’s done, right? Move ahead.

None of your business. Back off.

Your tank's full. Now move.

Not budging till my issue is solved.

Why not?

Look behind!

Traffic's piling up bad.

If you're in such a rush, go to another pump.

Sir, the machine doesn’t lie.

Save your lectures!

Let it go. Please move ahead.

Watch your tone.

What do you mean?

Get out of here.

Go find another pump.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Why pick a fight?

Get in, sir. I’ll handle it.

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Hey, if this rally blocks us, we’re stuck.

It’s a government vehicle.

So what?

- You and your boss aren’t special. -Raghu.

- Living off our taxes, - Raghu...

- and cruising around in a car. - Get in.

Don’t fight.

Move the car.

You’re wasting time.

You’ve ruined our lives.

Hands off the car.

Jacking up prices, then cruising in luxury!

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

- I didn't spike inflation! - Then who did?

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Don’t ask me.

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Raghu, drive!

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Corrupt rulers! A hungry nation!

Get out of here.

Stop! Stop him.

Stop! Hello! Stop him!

Don’t come out.

Sir, please stay inside!

Stop him! Hold him!

Stop him! Stop him.

Someone stop him!

No, no, first, you listen to me.

In a democracy, you can’t just complain.

Everyone has a role and a responsibility.

You can’t just...

Oh, dad’s here.

Let’s get his point of view.

There you are.

Your daughter’s running Parliament at home.

She’s been on Bala’s case since he showed up.

So the point of debate is...

Madhvi, can I speak?

What'd the last three governments even do?

Artillery scams, Mandal mess.

PM Shekhar's minority government,

supported by congress.

If inflation and fuel prices spiral.

It will all land on the government.

The common man is powerless.

Governments are made up of people like us.

They’re also as flawed.

Taxpayers, bureaucrats, we're all in the system.

No loan, and I'm on the streets.

My wife is pregnant.

What future can I give my child?

Hello, Raman.

Dr. Singh speaking.

Sorry to disturb you.

Yes sir. Good evening.

Can you come to Delhi tomorrow?

Can’t discuss this over the phone.

Okay sir. I will be there.

Sir, please. Just one pen.

Only two rupees, sir.

Sir, please just one. Only two rupees.

Come on, sir.

Ten rupees?

Ten rupees. I can give you one... two...

- three... - No, no. Keep the change.

Take one, please.

Thank you.

India Burns under Common Man's Problems

by Aditi Verma.

Sir, you may go inside.

Raman.

Heard you are quite far sighted.

He predicted last year that

India was heading for an economic crisis.

That was a calculative prediction.

I wasn’t criticizing anyone.

You saw the problem,

surely you had a solution too.

The ’89 report I presented to the then PM Mr. Gandhi...

You were there too.

The RBI Governor, Mr. Batra, has resigned.

As per protocol, the Deputy Governor...

Mr. Gandhi has put your name forward

for the post of RBI Governor.

Just sign the acceptance letter.

Thank you, sir.

The US has begun its war on Iraq with heavy airstrikes.

India has voiced concern but remained distant from the war.

What is this nonsense, Popat?

My name is Paresh, not Popat.

You’re an intern, right?

Yes, ma’am.

Then you're Popat.

I verified every fact and figure before filing.

Are you selling newspapers or an economics textbook?

Where’s the story?

Truth without a story is just noise.

Anyone can write about inflation.

But a man setting himself on fire.

That's the real story.

- Yes, ma’am. - Out!

Sorry, ma’am.

Good morning, sir.

Good boy.

Give the kid a break.

Here’s the thing. Lies sell themselves.

I sell the truth, and your paper's still breathing.

So yes, the news needs a story.

I've put your name up the chain.

To raise your salary.

Thank you, sir.

Now get me one big story.

I want an exclusive scoop.

It’s already on its way.

The RBI Governor has resigned.

Snubbing the deputy, they are bringing in a puppet.

Never studied economics,

now he'll fix the country's economy.

Your take, CR sir?

Can the new governor handle it?

You’ve met him.

He’s a smart man.

Useful? That remains to be seen.

Do we hit him the moment he lands?

There’s no honeymoon window here.

The sooner he faces reality.

The better for everyone.

Is everyone here?

No, sir. Deepak is yet to come.

Always late.

- Sir! Sir! - Patil!

- Yes, sir. - Hurry up.

Yes, coming.

Sweets, snacks, tea,

even the welcome song is ready.

- All our... - Patil.

You’ve got two minutes.

One minute and thirty-two seconds.

It’s my job.

Sharma sir, just help me out.

With what?

Ten... ten... ten...

Oh, come on, Patil.

This is not the time.

I’ll repay next time.

It’s okay.

What’s happening?

Button. Where's the button?

Find the button.

Open it, open it!

- It isn’t opening. - Anyone there?

Press the button.

Press the button.

Yes...

Good morning, sir.

What’s good about this?

Do something.

Yes, yes.

One second.

Open it.

Okay, one by one.

Calm down.

Okay.

Calm down. Easy. Don’t panic.

What’s going on?

Water! Get water.

Hurry, bring water.

Someone call security.

Call maintenance, quickly!

Hey, don’t just stand there. Help him.

Support his shoulder.

Easy, easy.

Come on, sir, this way.

Yes, sir, yes.

Raman sir!

Sir, good morning.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, sir.

Morning, have more water.

Yes, sir.

Sorry sir, this is not the way how we had planned.

If Sardar Patel were alive today

Seeing the state of the nation

He’d tell Pandit Nehru

“This is not how we had planned, Jawahar.”

Correct, sir.

How are things there?

Very pleasant, sir.

Sir...

It’s quite a climb.

Yes, yes. We’ve got a long way up.

Come on, let’s go.

Let’s go.

But CR sir.

Thanks to Raman sir,

we all got quite a workout today.

Sir, let me introduce everyone.

Let’s skip the formalities, Sharma.

We’ll get to know each other as we work.

Couldn’t agree more, sir.

Let’s get to business.

The last three government’s

Poor policies and impractical decisions have brought us here.

As a country,

we’re spending far more than we earn.

Excuse me.

Condition is such, maybe in a month, government run...

Sorry.

Please continue, CR.

Even basic governance could become an issue.

Export growth has fallen.

Gems and jewelry, engineering, chemicals all underperforming.

Government expenditure is rising.

But income isn’t.

The Gulf War has pushed petroleum imports

From $2 billion to $5.7 billion.

With imports outpacing exports,

our current account deficit is...

From 9% of GDP in 1980–81

to 12.7% now.

Internal debt stands at 53% of GDP.

And external debt, owed to foreign lenders,

Commercial banks, financial institutions,

total debt is 62 to 65% billion dollars approximately.

I really appreciate your homework, sir.

Thank you.

You probably also know this,

our foreign exchange reserves,

are down to just 1.2 billion dollars.

Sorry, what?

Am I right?

As of today, yes sir.

How do you run a country on just 1.2 billion dollars?

You can’t.

If foreign exchange reserves drop below a billion.

We can't import oil, gas, the basics.

And we all know what follows.

Inflation never travels alone.

Hunger walks with it.

And hunger drives a nation to the edge.

Crime, riots, anarchy.

Maybe total collapse.

It may sound extreme.

But the truth is,

India is on the verge of bankruptcy.

It’s on the brink of financial collapse.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Sir, it’s the new one.

Not now!

Let’s begin the welcome song together. Start!

“A warm welcome, a grand welcome”

“We welcome you”

No, no.

“A warm welcome, a grand welcome”

“We welcome you”

Welcome to the RBI, sir.

He was sent to keep tabs on you.

And he's already wilted on day one.

Mr. Gandhi’s recommended him.

They needed a scapegoat.

Found one.

Sir, your washroom is in your cabin.

Oh, I didn’t know that.

Anyway, shall we continue the meeting?

No finish that first, okay.

Sir, these are all our former Governors.

I got that.

The PM and Finance Minister,

need to be briefed.

But not without solutions.

Sir, the Bank of International Settlements won’t step in.

Because India is not a member.

Other central banks won’t risk it, given our economic indicators.

Solutions?

Sorry sir.

Sir, now is the time, to reach out to the Soviets.

They’ve always stood by India.

The Soviets have their own troubles.

We should consider a loan from

International Monetary Fund

IMF.

IMF?

Their loan turns India

from socialist to capitalist.

We need solutions, CR.

No need to go that deep.

Everyone knows IMF is driven by the US.

They care about profit, not parity.

We need to focus on one thing.

How do we get out of this crisis?

And for that...

Should one crisis change who we are?

As a country, do we have any integrity left or not?

This...

This is us!

We, the People of India

Having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a Sovereign,

Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic.

You read that? Socialist.

I’m not against socialism, CR.

After Independence, we needed it.

To fight caste and feudalism.

The economy needs a boost.

Business drives growth.

Business doesn’t thrive on equality.

It grows on competition

We’re at our most critical point.

IMF...

Russia. Only Soviet Russia can still help us.

I can open a direct line with the embassy.

But if you’ve already decided,

I’m wrong, then...

CR.

Who’s right or wrong isn’t the point.

We both want to save the country from bankruptcy.

So let’s go ahead.

Try everything. Okay.

Come, sir.

Our Statistics and Information Management department.

Mr. Deepak Bindra and his team.

Hello sir. Welcome.

What’s this?

Sir, Divya built an indicator.

Very creative.

Can I?

Yes, sir.

Divya, please explain.

Yes, sir.

If our foreign exchange reserves exceed 1 billion dollars,

we stay above this red line.

At one billion, we’re right on the red line.

And if we fall below one billion...

India has gone bankrupt.

Sir...

But that day must never come.

Sir...

Right now, we’re just above the red line.

At 1.2 billion dollars.

If things don’t change, within a month...

Sir, please.

Sir, this is Cyrus from Currency Management.

We need your signatures, for the notes.

Both in English and Hindi.

Shaikh, click a picture.

Wait. Wait.

Wow, every note in our pockets bears your signature.

After today's table tennis match,

whose side are you on?

Raman sir’s? Or CR sir’s?

How do I care?

My brother called yesterday.

The Boston job is confirmed.

That’s great.

Divya madam.

Yes.

Oh no!

Ma'am, I needed some help.

How much?

Fifteen... twenty... actually I needed fifty.

Let me.

I only have twenty.

That works.

Thank you.

Previous twelve and this twenty, I...

We’ll settle the math later.

Thank you, ma’am.

Hey, hey, hey!

What are you doing? Sir, please no...

- What’s in your pocket? - Nothing... nothing, sir.

Nothing, huh? Let me see.

- What’s that? - It's nothing.

Hey.

Ma’am, it’s nothing.

Wife asked me to bring cow urine on the way back.

To purify the house.

Bloody drunkard!

Forget your money.

Taken 200 bucks from me. Never paid it back.

Never will.

He will.

He isn't abandoning his country for the US. Unlike you.

Stop taunting me.

Get everyone out while you still can.

Or in a few years, we'll all be begging like that drunk Patil.

I’m not that pessimistic.

Didn't you hear CR sir today?

The country is going bankrupt.

The irony is,

they are busy feasting.

No idea that India is heading straight for a cliff.

In a few days...

Boom.

Yesterday, I made extra butter chicken on purpose,

So today ma’am herself said,

“Take some home for Bharti.”

Mom, don’t.

I don’t want her butter chicken.

Hers? I'm the one who made it.

She even told her son,

“Learn from Bharti, she studies so much.”

I didn’t say a thing, honestly.

Why say anything?

He'll just live off his father anyway.

He’ll become a rich businessman, sure.

But when you become an ISA officer...

It’s IAS.

Yeah, meant that.

Then he’ll be saluting your red beacon car.

Here, have a bite.

What are you doing there?

I got off at the back gate.

I’m lost in this new house, Vandita.

Okay, fine. Come inside.

Oh my God, our old small house was better.

That was our house.

This is the RBI Governor’s.

I’m ready, mom.

Ah, pretty. One minute.

Are you both going somewhere?

Yes. Me, her, and Sathyarajan.

Sathyarajan who?

No one, right?

Then who else will come with us?

You.

There’s a welcome party for you at the clubhouse.

Deputy Governor CR's wife, Jaya, has arranged everything.

We have to go.

Wasn’t the office welcome enough?

I’m not going.

Hold this.

Sathyarajan. Go with him.

What?

Ladies and gentlemen,

after welcoming Raman sir

Our dinner counters are now open.

Please enjoy the meal.

And after that,

some games some fun, and plenty of entertainment.

Alright? Alright.

Sir.

Thank you.

That’s Vikram, my son.

- Hi, Vikram. - Hi.

What do you want to be?

Kapil Dev or Gavaskar?

Sachin Tendulkar.

Aww, so sweet.

He’s not interested in finance.

CR isn’t interested in sports.

And I’m not interested in either.

Whose idea was this?

India is on the verge of bankruptcy.

And here we are, partying.

This country’s been in party mode for years, sir.

Nobody has a clue where it’s actually headed.

A welcome party for a new Governor is protocol.

Where is that written?

Not protocol, Sharma.

- Tradition, sir. - Oh!

There’s always a welcome party.

Otherwise, people will start wondering.

Whether I even deserve to be Governor or not.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I invite you to a game of musical chairs.

You stop only when the music stops.

Come on, run! Run!

Come on, CR sir.

And now, the Deputy Governor, sir, is in the game.

Come on. Come on, everyone.

Deepak’s game is over.

Come on, come on.

And now, I invite our new Governor, Raman sir, to join the game.

- Raman sir! Raman sir! - Go fast.

Dad, please.

Go.

Raman sir! Raman sir!

The final showdown between the Governor and the Deputy Governor.

And now, the final battle begins.

Come on, CR sir.

Choo-choo train, choo-choo train.

CR sir is on the verge of victory.

And the winner is, CR sir.

Yeah!

The chair is yours, CR sir.

Three cheers for CR sir.

You were the clear winner.

But you didn’t even try.

There's a bigger war to win.

So I choose my battles.

Sir.

Sir, you need to see the news urgently.

Next update from the Soviet bloc.

Georgia, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan,

And now Kyrgyzstan has declared independence.

The cracks in the Soviet Union

are growing deeper by the day.

American warplanes bombed Iraq's oil fields heavily today.

Your solution won’t work either,

IMF won’t give us the money.

It will.

We need to meet the PM. Right now.

Time is running out.

Sit down, sit down. Come on, eat.

He's bought a place near his wife's in Bhandup.

He’ll move in shortly.

Oh, sir!

Sir.

Finish it.

Deepak tells me you eat lunch here every day.

Not every day, sir. Only sometimes.

I keep my ear to the ground.

Helps me sense the earthquakes.

What?

Sir... an earthquake, sir.

Sharma sir is a living map of our RBI building.

Every file, every corner, he knows it all.

Just an old timer, sir. That’s all.

Okay. Meeting with the PM is fixed.

So the ticket...

It’ll be done, sir. Consider it done.

Will you be going alone?

CR, please pass it on

Coaster.

Raman. CR.

An urgent meeting. This must be serious.

Sir, I’ve asked for Mr. PM’s presence too.

Asked?

I mean, requested.

We can handle this ourselves.

Let the PM run the country.

What’s it about?

Sir, actually the condition is...

A country only runs,

if it has the money to.

India is going to be bankrupt.

One month.

Do you realize,

what happens if this gets out?

India's overseas branches have undisclosed reserves.

We tap those.

All gone, sir.

The Iraq-US war sent fuel prices through the roof.

Every rupee SBI borrowed spent on oil imports.

Did you only bring problems,

or do you also have solutions?

Through the US.

We'll request an IMF loan.

The US has always backed Pakistan.

Getting our allies on board is nearly impossible.

Sir, with due respect,

convincing anyone is not our job.

You are the government.

We are just the humble servant of government.

We’re running the government with just 64 MPs,

and Congress support.

This issue could topple the government.

Thrones may fall, another will rise.

But where do you find another country?

So, what's the plan?

Swami, This isn’t necessary.

It’s not my first time.

A guest is god, Mr. Marshall.

Guest is God. Please, come.

Thank you so much for meeting us, Mr. Marshall.

It’s been three years, and I’m still not used to the cows on the roads.

Have some almonds.

PM Shekhar is very keen on forging relationships with America.

We should initiate some bilateral steps as confidence building.

Yet, India hasn’t picked a side in our war against Iraq.

We want to help America in the ongoing war.

But we need a loan from the IMF.

With India’s rating and status of the rupee,

I don’t think the IMF is gonna agree to that.

But with the US holding 87% of the voting rights,

IMF will agree.

Don’t expect a big help.

Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Marshall.

We offered you almonds,

and you’re not even giving us peanuts?

What’s your ask?

Two billion US dollars.

And what will you give us in return?

American fighter planes,

are refueling in the Philippines.

But the Philippines is too far from Iraq.

Bombay sits right in the middle.

That’s why the Americans want,

it as their refueling base.

We have good relations with Iraq,

Do you really think,

American military planes can land in India,

the opposition, the press, and the public will stay silent?

No uproar at all?

No uproar if no one finds out.

We’ll execute this as a secret mission.

Everyone out. Clear the area.

This entire zone is now under CRPF control.

What's going on, sir? Some kind of trouble?

Mind your own business. Move.

Go on, clear out!

Call for you, Aditi madam.

Hello.

It’s Javed. I’m at the airport.

There's heavy military presence here.

Something’s definitely going on.

- Let’s go, Popat. - Where, ma’am?

We fly.

Ma'am, look.

Hey, what's going on here?

I’m Javed’s sister, sir.

Mom sent tiffin.

No, not here. Get going.

Any chance I can see the runway from here?

Ma’am, the runway is just beyond that wall.

Popat.

Yes, ma’am.

On your knees.

Damn it!

Camera, give me the camera! Camera, give it!

Today's Bharatiya Times Press!

India joins America in the Gulf War!

India joins the war in support of America!

They fight America’s wars! We bleed for it!

They fight America’s wars! We bleed for it!

We can't even get petrol here,

and they're giving it away to America.

One! Two! One! Two! Throw them out!

One! Two! One! Two! Throw them out!

We had good ties with Iraq.

So why let American planes land on our soil,

and support this war?

Look, it was an emergency landing. Nothing more.

One! Two! One! Two! Throw them out!

One! Two! One! Two! Throw them out!

Did it not occur to you to consult us?

If you want to run this government alone,

go right ahead.

I know nothing, Sinha ji.

Just stop the refueling.

Stop the refueling and the IMF money stops.

And if that happens...

The monkey drowns.

May I say something?

Bend the rules to get things done.

Meaning?

We got the order over the phone.

No official order.

Are you out of your mind?

If we make a mistake...

Go ahead, Sharma.

Thank you, sir.

Hello, Mr. Tiwari.

Your fax machine isn't working until tomorrow.

My orders were clear.

I spoke to you personally.

And yet, the refueling happened yesterday.

The Airport Authority,

was slow to receive the order, sir.

Fax lines were down.

A miscommunication.

Good evening, Mr. Marshall.

Mr. Sinha, the President is very happy with India’s support,

and hopes to further strengthen our relationship.

But...

Thank you, Mr. Marshall.

We look forward to meeting you soon.

IMF loan approved!

775 million dollars.

We stopped refueling. They still approved the loan.

Which means they want something bigger.

A $5 billion loan can be sanctioned.

If India comes back with a reformed budget.

Then let's give them one, sir.

Now the IMF gets to tell us,

how to run our country?

Their "economic reform budget" means,

opening our markets to the world.

Foreign companies flood in.

Compete with us directly.

That competition will only make our economy stronger, sir.

The entire system needs to change.

Every industry the government runs.

he government has no business making watches and cars.

Government should only govern.

And what about the subsidies?

Everything's cheap because the government runs it.

Private companies move in and prices go up.

Is the country ready for change?

Sir, when the ocean was churned,

it gave nectar.

and poison.

Someone has to drink the poison.

I’m not Shiva.

Okay, sir.

I'm making no promises, Raman.

But bring me your budget proposals.

We'll try to bring the allies on board.

This government survives on their support.

We shall overcome!

We shall overcome!

We shall overcome someday!

The budget reforms we’re drafting are going nowhere.

They'll push an interim budget and wrap it up.

No.

No, no. They can’t do that.

Even the Finance Minister knows.

No reform budget,

no IMF loan. It's that simple.

For politicians, nothing matters more than their chair.

Their allies must have flatly refused the IMF reforms.

Let's get the team together and think about a Plan B.

We shall overcome!

We shall overcome someday!

Deep in my heart, I do believe!

We shall overcome someday!

CR, a teacher once told me.

Never have a Plan B,

it will make your Plan A fail.

- But, sir. - Let’s go to Delhi. Right now.

And we’ll make sure our Plan A succeeds.

Aditi Varma, Bharatiya Times Press.

Two spies are found at Mr. Gandhi’s residence,

congress calls it a conspiracy.

And in the middle of it all, an interim budget drops.

Are they two connected?

These are baseless allegations.

PM Shekhar has ordered a personal inquiry.

The truth will come out.

The interim budget is purely a technicality.

Or simply because,

the Government and Congress can't agree.

Journalists can spin a story out of thin air.

Next question, please.

Excuse me.

Finance Minister has diligently answered all the questions.

We have already released the press kit.

Please collect it on your way out.

Thank you everyone for being here.

Sir, sir!

No RBI Governor has ever made,

this many trips to Delhi before.

Even you’ve flown in from Bombay to Delhi, Ms. Aditi?

What did you just discuss with the Finance Minister?

What's behind this sudden interim budget?

If you want answers,

go ask the politicians there.

Let me do my job.

Take me to the hotel.

Sir, it’s been three hours already.

I know, I know.

Hello!

Listen, dear.

Ahh, Vandita.

I can’t find my wedding gold earrings anywhere.

I’m on an important job here.

- Did you find them? - Not yet.

Losing gold is considered inauspicious.

I’ll talk to you later, okay.

I’ll call you back.

Okay.

Vandita.

Yes, dear.

Okay.

Sir...

Good evening, sir.

If you wish I can personally speak to Mr. Gandhi.

We must convince his party for reform budget.

Raman, there will be no budget.

Congress has withdrawn its support.

The government has collapsed.

PM Shekhar has resigned.

Until the next election, his government,

serves only as a caretaker.

The story's about to break.

Sir...

Let's make one last call to the IMF.

That will give us enough time...

Raman, wake up!

The IMF has been clear. The loan only comes,

with a reform budget.

And right now, nobody cares about a budget.

Thank you for your time, sir.

CR, let’s go.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir. Just this once.

Can we put the power aside and think about the country?

If we don’t get the loan,

in three weeks,

we won't have money to buy medicine.

No country left.

What will you do with power then, sir?

I'm sorry, Raman.

We're all prisoners of circumstance.

What breaks my heart,

history may remember this bankruptcy

during our time.

I was just wondering,

where is that teacher of yours now?

Does he still believe in his “Plan A, Plan B” theory.

Your plan has failed, sir.

You’ve failed.

If I fail,

RBI fails.

If RBI fails,

India fails.

I will not let India fail.

We will not let India fail.

Kerosene for four rupees ten paise?

Since when?

Four rupees? How did it jump to four?

Please, speak to the owner.

What? Prices doubled in a day?

Government rates. I didn't raise it.

Kerosene's gone double!

This can't be right.

How can they do this?

Don't shout. What can I do?

Overnight this price hike!

Take it or leave it.

Mom. Mom.

Please, sit down.

Mom, sit down.

Are you okay?

Go ask! Why did it go up?

How? Go.

You're looting us!

Stop shouting.

How can this happen?

Might as well turn to crime.

At least the cops give you a bullet.

Beats starving to death.

The government's fall has crashed the markets.

No salaries this month.

How do we manage without a salary?

Raw material import costs keep rising.

The government's fallen.

We have less time than we thought.

It's all in God's hands now.

Rahul,

draft a memo for Raman sir.

Okay.

I’ve got a meeting...

- Hey! - Oh no. Hold on.

Deepak.

Your letter.

Visa interview.

Got a call.

Sir, you're here.

Stepping back from it all.

Maybe find a way through.

How did you find me?

Sir, coffee.

Thank you.

I never ask anyone for anything.

But things are a little tight.

If you could help. Not much, sir.

Thirty or forty rupees.

Thank you, sir.

I'll pay you back, little by little.

Thank you. Thank you, sir.

Good morning, sir.

Deepak sir, you have a fifty?

Not a single paisa. Get out.

Who’s asking for it?

I'm the one giving.

Here, take it. Take this hundred,

give me fifty back.

That clears fifty.

Still owe a hundred fifty.

Next salary, I'll square it.

Um, sir... you have a ten?

Are you mad?

Next week, I'll give it. I will, sir.

Shameless. Absolutely shameless.

Last month I took ₹30.

This ten's from that.

Twenty remaining.

I'll clear it next salary.

Sit down. Sit down.

We need money and we need time.

And we have neither.

There's no one in this office

Patil hasn't borrowed from.

I thought we were here to discuss

the country's economic crisis.

That's exactly what we're here for.

Running a country,

managing its economy.

A family is an economic unit. We forget that.

Whatever keeps a family afloat.

The same logic can run a nation.

Watch how Patil runs his household.

Sharma ji, your twenty.

Cyrus ji, your ten.

Ten rupees, please.

There, your ten from the other day.

Clean slate from today.

First decide if there's a slate at all.

One hand takes, the other gives.

Not to run the house, sir.

It's for drinking, gambling, all of that.

Set reason aside, Deepak.

Understand the system.

From now we do three things.

Pay some, postpone some, and keep raising money.

To raise money, we call every bilateral IMF member.

Germany, Japan, Netherlands, France, all of them.

Earlier, we depended on just one friend.

The Soviet Union.

Now whoever gives us the loan is our friend.

Sir, your tiffin is here.

Thank you, Patil.

Why thank me, sir?

It’s my daily job.

Still.

Thank you.

We have lot’s to do. Let's move.

- Get to work. - Yes.

- Come on, come on. - Yes.

Sir?

Yes.

The bilateral nations',

Annual Spring Meeting is in Washington.

If you go in person,

we could negotiate the loans directly.

Okay.

Thank you, CR.

Mr. Sharma.

You didn't have to come here, sir.

I need to go to Washington.

The Annual Spring Meet.

You know that.

Sir...

I'll need a ticket.

- Yes, yes. Done, sir. - Thank you.

- Ah, Sharma? - Sir?

Economy class.

But protocol...

Don't worry about that.

And the hotel, no five-star.

Something simple.

And affordable.

Thank you. Carry on.

India's most valuable resources are its people.

And we can proudly say,

that millions of minds

Will lead India to the path of progress.

One such example is,

the supercomputer PARAM 8000.

After the general elections,

we promise a reform-oriented budget.

Once we get your support,

India will jump over all the mountains,

cross any river,

do whatever it takes,

to keep its date with destiny.

Thank you.

Good morning, ma’am.

Sir, just tell us, how much?

Okay, okay.

200 million dollars from, Germany.

150 million dollars from, Japan.

Total 350 million dollars.

Divya, move that monkey marker up the mountain.

Yes, sir!

A drowning man’s nose has just surfaced.

We have to pull him out.

Totally. Completely.

Yet, snacks are on me.

Madam, please find Patil.

- Sir... - Patil!

Outstanding work!

Thank you.

Hey, sit, sit. It’s not over yet.

Doesn't she look like she's dancing?

She did learn Bharatnatyam.

Don't be too clever, you two.

You're back from abroad.

The evil eye must be warded off.

But why ward it off me?

Buy one, get one free.

I'm not the freebie.

Of course not.

All will be well now.

Deepak sir, what happened?

Raman sir...

He just left for a meeting at Mantralaya!

Good morning, Sir.

Quite the feat in Washington.

Congratulations.

How long can debt keep us happy?

Look, I have a meeting.

So, if you could excuse me.

You can't keep dodging questions forever.

Sir!

Yes, Deepak.

Sir, something very urgent has come up.

Deepak I have a meeting at Mantralaya

Sir.

The monkey is in danger.

Okay. Let’s go.

Ms. Verma,

you've printed without a counter statement before.

Why ask now?

Publish it.

Good luck.

Our forex reserves are down to 0.6 billion dollars.

How?

There must be a calculation error. Check again.

Double checked. Triple checked, sir.

The numbers are correct.

Where did all the money go?

The elections, sir.

The spending.

The rupee keeps falling against the dollar.

Today's drop is particularly sharp.

0.6 billion dollars will barely,

cover essential imports and payments.

Defense payments are overdue.

We can't afford oil and non-oil imports.

And the last loan repayment is due in days.

What do we do?

Sorry!

I am sorry.

Hello.

What!!!

Thank God.

I was with Jaya when the call came.

How is Vikram?

They're saying mild concussion.

But Jaya is very scared.

CR?

Over there.

- I'll go sit with Jaya. - Okay.

Listen...

I asked Madhvi to keep the eternal flame burning.

Did she do it?

There’s nothing to worry.

He’ll be alright.

Vandita tells me the eternal flame is still lit.

Somehow her faith doesn’t shake.

Thank you, sir.

I know this is not the right moment,

or a place

But CR,

I want to tell you something.

I'm resigning.

Sir.

You cannot quit.

I'll admit, I didn't believe in you at first.

But every time it felt impossible.

You found a way.

Now I believe.

If anyone can pull India out of this crisis.

It’s you.

I have no solutions left.

It's over.

How can it be over?

Vikram wants to play cricket.

Madhvi wants to be an IAS officer.

Will you tell them it's over?

Your hopes are over, your dreams are over,

your aspirations are over?

Governor, Deputy Governor,

that comes later, sir.

First, we are fathers.

And fathers don't quit.

Fathers should not quit.

What are you doing?

Why is this here?

This is my Reserve Bank.

Look, God forbid there's ever a need.

For a small problem, there's this.

And for a bigger problem,

there's this pouch.

Oh really?

Show me.

Oh no!

The eternal flame must never go out.

The gold we kept in the bank? What about that?

If trouble comes, will I run to the bank or the hospital?

True wealth is what you,

hold in your own hands.

And the real Governor,

is you.

- Oh, stop! - Oh, my.

Continue.

Sir.

Sharma, early this morning,

an intelligent woman told me,

the only true wealth is what you hold,

in your hands.

Yes?

- Sir, a call for you. - Okay.

Hello...

Hello, dad. Your daughter is officially an IAS officer.

Oh my God.

Thank you.

My baby.

Congratulations!

Welcome to the tribe!

Patil, you already knew?

Tell us what's going on.

The sweets, all of this.

The IAS officer's daughter has become an IAS officer.

Congratulations, sir.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Patil! Come on, distribute the sweets!

- So what if I have diabetes? Hurry up! -Sir.

Thank you.

These sweets aren't for this occasion.

Jagruti! Bharti! Come here, come here!

Come here, come here!

My daughter Bharti had appeared for the IAS exam.

She passed, sir.

Sir, this is my daughter, Bharti.

Take his blessings.

God bless you.

Good job! Good job!

Why didn’t you tell us earlier, Patil?

A peon's daughter wanting to become an IAS officer.

Tell anyone, and they'd have mocked, sir.

So I kept quiet.

But not anymore.

Now I’ll say it proudly,

Bharti Shantaram Patil, IAS.

I owe all of you so much.

It's with your borrowed money that I educated her.

Sorry, Patil.

I'm so sorry.

Deepak sir, sorry for what?

Enjoy the sweet.

I will. Everyone's having one.

Hey, come on, have sweets!

Fathers don't quit.

What do you say, CR?

Sir...

Sir, what’s the plan?

What is this, Raman?

RBI gold means the nation’s gold.

Selling the nation's gold means selling the nation itself.

India has always been the golden bird, sir.

Now that very gold will save us.

What is wrong with that, sir?

Gold in our country is not just a metal.

It is a symbol of prosperity.

The Goddess of wealth herself.

Pawning and selling gold in times of need,

has been our culture for centuries.

If our stored gold cannot serve us in our darkest hour.

Does that even count as wealth?

Do we have to physically ship the gold out?

That's exactly the issue, sir.

The Swiss Central Bank and London's Royal Central Bank.

Are both willing to give us the loan.

But both institutions are demanding,

physical delivery of the gold.

We are running a caretaker government.

We can’t take such a massive risk.

The whole country will shame us.

- There will be riots. - Sir.

This is our last chance.

Forty-three years,

since independence.

We fought four wars.

And still no enemy could break us.

But if we don't pull through this crisis, sir.

This country will break from within.

We are fighting an enemy far greater,

than Pakistan or China.

It is hunger and poverty.

Sir.

I plead with you.

To see this country prosper tomorrow,

we must swallow the poison today.

We got power, but not support.

Power without authority.

History will forget this seven-month prime minister anyway.

But if someone ever looks back at these pages,

maybe they’ll see that,

we truly tried.

Let's try once more.

Thank you. Very much, sir.

We can finally pull India out of this.

No room for error.

We tell no one, not even at home.

Within a few days,

the first consignment. 20 tons of gold,

goes to the SCB, the Swiss Central Bank.

Ten days after that,

the second consignment 46.91 tons,

goes to the Royal Central Bank in London.

But sir, what if the gold, we're sending,

doesn’t meet the fitness.

and weight specifications, of both central banks?

If they reject the quality?

I've already spoken to them.

Both banks have agreed to convert,

the gold bars into London Good Delivery bars.

Good.

Sharma, you handle operations, logistics and paperwork.

CR, legal and customs.

Deepak, you’ll be in charge of security during the transit of gold.

Also remember, I want you guys to stay,

away from the press and journalists.

Okay?

I don’t want any news of any kind.

This is being called a massive attack on Indian democracy.

The blast occurred during a campaign rally in South India.

In his address, Prime Minister Mr. Shekhar said,

‘The country has lost one of its greatest sons.'

Hey, what's going on? Why’s everyone crowded around?

Mr. Gandhi has been assassinated.

What happened, Sharma?

Sir, Mr. Gandhi...

- Hello. - Hello, Raman.

Hello, sir. It’s CR.

Have you heard the news?

Yes, sir. Just now.

We’ll have to call off the operation.

Postpone it.

Postpone? Until when?

Indefinitely.

Uh... yes, sir.

Vandita! You’re here?

You didn't come home all night.

Coffee?

Is the problem big?

I don't know if the problem is too big,

or if we are simply too small to face it.

You'll find a way.

Where do you get such faith from?

Ghanshyamdas the grocer.

Picked up five kilos of faith from him yesterday.

Two and a half for you.

Two and a half for me.

And Madhvi?

She doesn’t need any.

She already has more than enough.

Poor Madhavi.

Thank you.

Thank you? Why?

I’d forgotten I could still laugh.

CR, I think you should leave for Delhi immediately.

Don’t come back without the Finance Minister’s signed approval.

Sure, sir.

The sun never waits for the perfect time.

It just rises.

And time falls into place.

Sir.

CR.

Good morning, sir

I called off the operation.

Talk to the Swiss Central Bank about an extension.

Raman Sir's orders.

I'm not leaving without that approval.

The PM has refused.

Mr. Gandhi’s assassination,

media and security are on high alert.

We can’t do this right now.

Let’s go.

Reschedule tomorrow’s 11 AM meeting to post-lunch.

Yes, sir.

Is this a joke, CR?

My wife says I have no sense of humor.

Yes, sir.

You're the Deputy Governor of the RBI.

Does this really suit your stature?

If gold consignment doesn't reach the Swiss Central Bank on time.

What follows won’t reflect well on any of us.

And if I refuse to sign?

I will wait.

Sir, there’s one small problem.

Consignment is too large,

for any commercial or chartered flight.

So the question is,

how do we airlift 60 tons of gold?

I know someone who can help.

The Air Force is our only hope.

The moment our planes cross Indian airspace,

they'll be shot down.

We have only three days.

Three days to get the first consignment to Switzerland.

If there's any way you can make this work...

You're telling me this now?

The consignment leaves in two days.

Sir, I know.

We have special authorization to ship the gold.

But there's an intermediate stopover.

Without insurance, we cannot airlift it.

- But didn't I already... - Sir... sir...

Panicking won't help. We’ll do something out.

Don’t worry.

Sharma, in this mountain of files.

Where do we even find the insurance papers?

Sharma sir confirmed the first consignment leaves on June 8.

I know.

My visa interview came through.

Oh. When?

June 8th.

So?

What’s meant to leave...

will leave.

Did we even insure this gold?

We did, sir. Please, we did.

Let me concentrate.

Come, sir.

It cannot be like this.

Sir.

You’re a genius, man.

I've been around the block, sir.

Switzerland and England both, ma'am.

Almost sixty tonnes.

The story's confirmed.

What on earth are these people doing?

The details are on this page...

Go. If I need you, I'll call.

Okay, ma’am.

Popat.

Yes, ma’am?

From today, you're not Popat anymore.

You're Paresh.

Okay, ma’am.

Raman. We’ll be ready by tomorrow.

Soldiers promise.

Our first consignment is 20 tonnes, headed to Switzerland.

Ten days later, the second 46.91 tonnes

heads to London.

- Glory to Ganesha. - Glory to Ganesha.

Three vans leave the vault.

Three separate routes to the airport.

Each van with two police escorts.

But remember, this entire operation stays incognito.

Police escorts in plain clothes, civilian vehicles.

We cannot draw any attention enroute.

We cannot afford to attract attention.

No one must know these vans,

carry 20 tonnes of the nation's gold.

Raman, meet our new commercial cargo aircraft.

“Darkness all around Fate deals its hand”

“But time never lingers to turn the tide”

“How long must we endure these scorching winds”

“Friends, one day they must change”

“To gentler winds and better days”

“What blows we’ve endured”

“The losses we've borne”

“Now what’s even left to say”

“Something must be done”

“To truly live, we must dare to die”

“Is this any way to live"

Hello.

Sir, Van No. 1 has left Mahim.

Van No. 1 has crossed Mahim.

“You wonder, and so do we”

“Why is our star lost in darkness”

“We were once the golden bird”

“We were once the golden bird”

Sir, Van No. 2 is in position on the highway.

“Who pulled us down from the skies”

“You wonder, and so do we”

Van No. 1 has reached, sir.

“Together, let us take this oath”

“We’ll never let this happen again”

“Every scar upon our hearts will fade”

“Golden days will dawn once more”

“How long must we endure these scorching winds”

“Friends, one day they must change”

Sir, Van No. 3 has arrived too.

But what about Van No. 2?

“What blows we’ve endured”

“The losses we've borne”

“Now what’s even left to say”

“Something must be done”

“To truly live, we must dare to die”

“Is this any way to live"

Hey! Are you blind?

That was a terrible overtake, man.

What the hell did I do wrong?

You get down first!

Sharma's update is in.

The van has turned off the highway, sir.

Then why hasn't he arrived yet, CR?

Get down! You get down first.

I could've died out there.

I’m telling you, get down!

Forty minutes since the highway turnoff, Sharma.

Where the hell is it?

Highway turn was our last checkpoint.

Fifteen, twenty minutes after that...

And now it’s raining here too.

Sir, sir, don’t worry. Don’t worry.

I'm on my way, sir.

You can't help from there.

We are closer by.

You stay put. I’ll handle it.

Get out first, you...

Hey, stop it now.

Hey! Hands off!

Dare touch me? Back off.

It’s the tempo driver’s fault.

Are you listening?! I'm not crazy.

Come out.

- Get out. Today I’ll... - Stop! Stop!

Brother, whatever the damage is, I'll pay for it.

Just give me two minutes, man!

This isn't about the money!

- I almost lost my life! - You’re overreacting, please.

It was barely a scratch.

Scratch! The glass is shattered.

Start loading.

Sir.

I’ll go and check.

But sir...

If loading's delayed, the flight's delayed.

We cannot afford to change the flight plan.

Easy, brother, easy! I’ll compensate for all your losses.

Don't talk money to me!

Look at this!

You’ve never seen this much gold in your life.

You don't know who you're dealing with.

Let it go, man. Look at the jam you're causing.

What is this car for? Black tinted windows.

You smuggling?

- What've you got in there? Show me. -No. No.

What's going on?

What happened!

Call our boys! From the whole area, everyone!

- But why? No, no, please. - Call them.

Too much attitude!

I’ll serve you right.

Move aside. Get him down.

- I’ll deal with him. - You’re right.

You’re right.

He deserves punishment.

He’s done wrong.

You?

Just shut up.

Take him to the police station.

Hand him over to the police.

- Where’s your vehicle? - Here, here!

Oh my God!

No no, you irresponsible man.

You need to be taught a lesson.

You go ahead on your scooter.

And his vehicle stays behind.

- Okay? - Yes, yes.

Let’s go.

But sir, what if he slips away?

How will he escape?

I’ll sit with you here.

Okay.

And my vehicle will stay at the very back.

His vehicle in the middle.

People like you are why humanity survives.

Otherwise, they were telling me since long...

Enough! Calm down!

Hide this too. Too much gold flashing.

- Yes, sir. Let’s go. - Let’s go.

Left here, take the left!

- Here? - Yes.

But this road goes to the airport...

The police officer there knows me.

Alright, then.

Open up. Open up.

Come in. Come in.

Come on, hurry up. Hurry up.

Sir, this is the airport!!

We are at the wrong place.

I know, I know.

- Too much damage has happened. - No, I don’t want this.

We were supposed to go to the police station!

Sir, listen.

Take care of him.

Hey, come here.

- What? - Who was he?

He gave you a note, right? Flip it and you’ll understand.

Gandhiji?

Yeah, you can start loading.

- Hello, sir. - Yes?

Will you answer my questions today?

I have photographs. All of them.

You can’t deny it.

It’s better you just admit it.

My sources have confirmed there’s gold in those boxes.

And I've pulled every internal document.

It was tough, but I managed.

That gold is headed to Switzerland.

Switzerland today, England after.

RBI gold. The country's gold.

You people are out here selling off the nation.

My Hindi may be poor,

but even I see,

selling and saving,

differ by one letter.

You’re saving the country?

I am trying...

trying.

Look at this note.

Read it. Take it. Read it.

I promise to pay the bearer a sum of ten rupees.

This isn't just currency, Ms. Verma.

It's a promise.

Not made by you, but by me.

To 800 million people of this country.

And I am trying my best to keep that promise.

What is happening here,

why it's happening?

If this gets printed tomorrow, Ms. Verma.

The government will come under pressure.

Maybe we won’t be able to send the next consignment.

And after that, what happens, Ms. Verma.

Won’t be a newspaper headline.

It'll be the end of the country.

You think politicians and bureaucrats run this country?

We the people. We are the nation.

Country works because every single person is doing their job.

And you cannot stop me from doing mine.

Not at all, Ms. Verma.

No, I would never interfere with your work.

But I must tell you, your work is creating a problem for my work.

If truth hurts someone, so be it.

Okay.

I have nothing more to say.

Good luck.

Beyond truth and lies

One thing will remain:

Responsibility.

Responsibility.

Whatever happens,

because of my actions

I will be responsible.

I will face the consequences,

with my head held high.

Whatever happens because of your actions, Ms. Verma.

I pray to God that He gives you the strength to face it.

God bless you.

Nothing heroic about it.

India's gold is no longer on Indian soil.

Maybe nobody will ever know, sir.

We saved the country by doing this.

One problem remains.

RBI sells India...

and India's gold!

Gold? Is this true?

Would I write it if it weren't?

Wow, this is incredible!

This is a mind-blowing scoop, Aditi.

Tomorrow the whole country will be shaken.

It’ll create chaos!

Tell me this is exclusive.

Hundred percent, sir.

I'm calling a stop press right now.

Sir, one second. Wait.

What? Did you miss something?

Yes.

Come on. Be quick.

Yes, sir.

What the hell are you doing?

What's going on?

Sir, the story will publish.

There will be a blast,

there will be chaos. But not tomorrow.

Why not tomorrow?

Because someone made a promise to 800 million people,

and he's trying to keep it.

I'll let him do his job first. Then I'll do mine.

You?

Who do you think you are?

This story runs tomorrow, in my paper.

I want my story right now.

That’s my order.

If you force a woman, Mr. Daruwala,

there’ll be an explosion,

a scandal.

It will cost you dearly.

You will pay for this!

I mean it, you will pay for this.

Hey, listen.

Yeah, coming.

CR.

Oh! CR

Hello.

Sir, Bhartiya Times Press didn’t publish the news.

Yes, yes. We should thank Ms. Verma.

But sir, the story could still leak through other sources.

Yeah, you’re right.

There's only one option left, CR.

There was no other way.

If you were in my place,

you might have done the same.

Be rest assured.

This is bigger than any party. It’s the nation.

Our differences can wait.

First, let’s save India.

PM sir, the second consignment has just left for London.

Thank you, sir.

Sir, did you read this?

Ms. Verma let me do my job first.

Then she did hers.

Sharp girl, yes?

There'll be a public uproar.

CR.

We fought a storm.

This is just a breeze.

It’ll pass by.

We have done it!

Yes, sir.

Wake up now! Rise and stand! Bring the gold back to our land!

Wake up now! Rise and stand! Bring the gold back to our land!

Bangles sold, necklaces pawned! A thief government has dawned!

Bangles sold, necklaces pawned! A thief government has dawned!

Following the Congress party's victory in the General Elections,

Shri P.V. Rao has been elected as the country's next Prime Minister.

The newly elected Prime Minister has announced his Cabinet.

Shri Chavan as Home Minister, Shri Pawar as Defence Minister,

and Dr. Singh as Finance Minister.

The job is only half done, sir.

The economy hit rock bottom.

We've pulled it back up.

To make it soar,

we must open our own home's door.

That is the only way.

I do not minimize the difficulties,

that lie ahead on the long and arduous journey,

on which we have embarked.

But as Victor Hugo once said

‘No power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come’.

The emergence of India as a major economic power,

in the world happens to be one such idea.

Let the whole world hear it loud and clear.

India is now wide awake.

We shall prevail. We shall overcome.

Dr. Singh’s address gave the common man three new words.

Experts say these economic reforms will end the Licence Raj,

and open key sectors to foreign investments.

Ms. Aditi. Good morning.

Good morning, sir.

I never got to thank you.

Thank me for what, sir?

I only did my job.

Actually, I was coming to see you.

I'm writing an article. About you.

About me?

I'm not that important.

Sir, trust me. You are.

I just did my job. That's all.

Anyway, see you. Okay.

Sir.
