(Birds Chirping)

Hey, rascal.

Wake up.

Why are you sleeping here?

Get up!

Hey, get some more water. The idol must be cleaned.

I will. Why are you in a hurry?

(Birds Chirping)

His Highness had enough love for all of his subjects.

But we took only as much as we could afford.

Sometimes, we don't open to it, or, we can't take much of it.

Sometimes, we aren't smart enough to take enough.

He just ceased to shower it on us anymore.

Only the teardrops shivering on his eyelashes remain.

His Highness had enough love for all of his subjects.

What do you do? Shivaji... Shivaji...

Only sing praises.

Stop blabbering and get going.

You can only sing praises.

Why do you argue with that fool?

Speed up. The MLA's coming by 4.00 p.m.

Ranjit wants it done before that.

(Bird Chirping)

Glory to Maharashtra.

Today, for the anniversary celebration,

we have with us, our MLA,

Mr. Harshvardhan Deshmukh, whom we fondly call Bhaiyaraje.

I request him to take over...

...and say a few words that would guide us...

...and also, something about the greatness of Shivaji.

Please, Bhaiyaraje.

(Applause)

Greetings.

The district assembly member from our village, Ranjit...

...and all my brothers and sisters present here...

This day bears a lot of importance.

It was because of what happened...

...on this day in history, that I am here, addressing you...

...and you stand here fearlessly.

This is the glorious day,

when the Lord of the Hindus and the pride of the Marathas,

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was born.

We had a ruler, who was great,

which is why, we can say, we're blessed.

Our ruler annihilated the Sultan's rule and took over.

He conquered the green storm and established the supremacy...

...of the saffron flag all over.

We owe our existence to our king.

We offer our respects to you.

Glory to Jijau.

Glory to Shivaji.

Thank you.

The darkness of the lack of knowledge about your thoughts.

The darkness of narrow-mindedness.

The darkness of shortcomings.

Deep darkness.

It's haunting our existence.

It'll stay with us as long as we live.

It will never leave us.

It'll haunt the innocent.

It'll be with the shameless.

Shivaji... Shivaji...

Only sing praises.

Only sing praises.

Only sing praises.

Only sing praises.

"The sun spreads it light"

"In all directions"

Hey!

Stop it. Wear your clothes and give me a shave.

Yes, sir.

Virat is on for a century.

Whether he scores a century or not, we must win the match.

The Pakis must lose.

No!

What the hell!

Kohli shouldn't have got out.

Do you mean it, or are you scared?

- Can we go after the game's over? - What?

- Can we go after the game's over? - Yes, we can after you've won it.

Hey! Stop.

Stop.

Wait.

Stop.

Only sing praises!

Wait. Give me...

- Here. - No money. Food. I'm hungry.

How can I do that?

What do we have?

Food.

Here.

Do we have some more?

These are biscuits. I don't want biscuits.

Okay. Take it. Have it.

Little one!

Do you want one?

Want it?

Want it?

Very good.

Do you want to have it?

No? Then go.

- Let's go. - Go.

Only sing praises.

Only sing praises.

Amar...

Amar...

When did you come back?

- The day before. - The day before?

It's been four days. You never informed us.

We got to know, because Tatya told us.

Otherwise, we would've never known.

What happened?

You seem pretty upset.

Nothing.

Did you have an affair?

It's okay. You'll find a better one.

It's not that.

- Let's go to the fort. - No, it's okay.

- Oh, come on. - Come.

Kiran ditched us.

- His father called him. - Really?

- He'll join us later. - That was off.

Hey, Amar. When did you come back?

The day before.

All well?

Yes. Fine.

So, Dhadkan?

Dinner or 90?

Why are you poking fun at me, sir? I came for dinner.

Hello, Don.

Shera?

What is it?

My master sent me. It's Mudra's birthday tomorrow.

Okay.

All of you are invited to his house. There's a party.

Yes.

Amar... Would you like to come?

Sure, sir.

(Cricket Chirping)

The dancer was hot.

Hey!

What's going on?

Get off.

You mentioned the dancer and the bike broke down.

What's wrong?

Your bike always breaks down.

Oh, stop that.

What is wrong?

Hey!

Is there enough petrol?

There is. It just broke down.

Do you have enough petrol?

Do you have a can? Do you?

If you see a man, you're scared like a rabbit.

But if it's a woman...

You turn into demons!

You tease the woman and rape her.

You drown yourself in debauchery.

If you can't silence her, you beat her to pulp.

And then, you sing praises.

Sing praises!

We...

We want to do that.

We want to suppress their voice.

We want to get killed.

We want to kill.

Woman! Woman!

All we see is a woman.

And he...

He saw a mother.

He saw a mother.

But we...

Only sing praises.

Only sing praises.

Get lost!

You only sing praises.

You only sing praises.

Shivaji. Shivaji... Only sing praises.

Get lost!

Only sing praises.

(Cell Phone Ringing)

Sir, I'm calling from the college library.

A lot of students are dancing to loud music right in front.

It's quite disturbing.

I requested them to turn the volume down.

But they won't budge.

"Shivaji ameliorated his subjects"

"He established power"

"Like a roaring tiger"

"Whom everyone fears"

"His sacrifices are immeasurable"

"His sacrifices are immeasurable"

Come in.

Sir, I'm Amarsinha More.

MBA, final year.

There's a celebration going on.

I've organised it.

Stop that nonsense immediately.

But every year, this day is celebrated with enthusiasm in the college.

Do you celebrate it in front of the library, dancing to loud music?

- But sir... - No.

Just stop playing the music. Out!

Just stop that!

Right away!

Mr. Samar asked us to cancel our programme.

Who had the guts to complain against us?

I've never been humiliated like this all my life.

Find out, who that rascal is.

Amar...

Calm down.

I won't calm down.

By tomorrow, I must know who it was.

Sir, the books.

- Are you Shekhar Bankar? - Yes, I am.

Please, come with me.

Amar, this is Shekhar Bankar.

How would he know the greatness of our king?

He'll never understand. Beat him up.

Amar!

Come to my cabin.

Come in.

Your Highness, he has just hit a fellow student.

He's the reason, yesterday's programme was cancelled.

It's like humiliating Shivaji. I couldn't take it.

What do you know about him?

He lives in my heart.

As a child, I knew nothing.

Whenever someone said, "Glory to Bhavani",

I'd say "Glory to Shivaji".

He lives within us.

Lives within you?

He entered your body through your heart.

I wish, he had gone up to where your brain is.

At least, you'd know more.

How did you learn about Shivaji?

I've heard great speakers.

I mean, leaders.

He has learnt about you by listening to great speakers.

That means, no reading on your part.

No research on your part.

No thoughts of your own.

That is why, you get into fights,

in the place, where you gain knowledge.

I'll give you a chance.

Listen to me.

Shivaji Maharaj... stood for a cause all his life.

What was the cause?

The answer to this question...

is what I want you to find out in a month's time.

After a month, if you can't answer this question,

I will hand you over to the police.

Wait.

How will you find out?

I will help you.

This is for you.

Read it.

Remember...

Your knowledge about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj...

...is the only thing that can save you...

...from the police.

Don't waste your time.

Mr. Samar has given me a task.

He wants me to tell him, what cause Shivaji stood for.

People like him, don't know who Shivaji is.

That's why our country is in a mess.

These people are the reason, we aren't making progress.

Ashvin, what brings you here?

Want some?

I'm not here to drink.

I came, because I heard your nonsense.

Nonsense?

Am I talking nonsense?

Does Mr. Samar even know, who Shivaji was?

Exactly what I mean.

When someone speaks without knowing, it's nonsense.

Do you know, who Mr. Samar is?

Who is he?

You must've seen a picture of Shivaji in his cabin.

Shivaji Maharaj, his government...

...and his expertise at warfare...

...and the importance of his thoughts in modern times...

...are the subjects of the 13 books he has written.

His take on Shivaji...

...is not something many people approve of.

Those people oppose Samar.

He's been threatened as well.

But Mr. Samar is not the kind, who'd give up on his ideology.

You found some books, didn't you?

Just check the name of the author.

If you want to be known as a follower of Shivaji,

read those books.

If you want to live like him, get to know him, the real Shivaji.

Shivrai, Shivaji,

Maharaj, Chhatrapati...

You'll see it all clearly.

I'll take your leave.

Ashvin!

Hey, Ashvin!

What the hell!

- How does it smell? - Nice.

- Lovely, isn't it? - Yes.

- How about it? - Nice.

(Birds Chirping)

What's going on?

We're putting on some perfume.

- Put some on my hand. - Put it.

It's nice.

Isn't it lovely?

- Has she eaten? - Nothing yet.

- Come on. - Why won't she eat.

I'll feed her.

Do you want to eat this?

Why don't you eat?

Have something.

- Look. - Look at daddy.

I'll feed you.

- Once you're done, you get a... - Chocolate!

- Mudra, hurry up. - No.

Why isn't she eating anything?

She's not keeping well.

May I say something?

Mudra seems to be talking just like that fool yesterday.

May I get him?

She may eat, if she sees him.

Oh, come on. That's nonsense.

Let him get that man. She may eat something.

You know what the doctor said.

Ranga, go and get him.

- I want to go there. - Not now. Eat something first.

Look at me. Come on.

- Who's a good girl? - You're my good girl! Have it.

Hey, leave my hand!

Hey, Mudra!

Hey!

"The cunning fox is pretending"

"He's pretending to be getting married"

"The cunning fox is pretending"

Come one, eat something.

"The cunning fox is pretending"

"He's pretending to be getting married"

"The cunning fox is pretending"

"The cunning fox is pretending"

Very good!

Someone said, he was an actor.

He'd act in plays, write poems.

Someone else said, he'd give speeches.

Amar, if you noticed, he has a bag.

It has a few notebooks.

He keeps scribbling in them.

Sometimes, he takes them out and reads them.

He laughs and starts talking.

That goes on.

Sometimes, he roams the village.

He has stayed here because of Ranjit.

Otherwise, the villagers would've driven him crazy...

...or thrown him out of the village.

I want to meet him.

He says random stuff, but it has meaning.

You'll find him near Ranjit's bungalow.

If not, check near Shivaji's statue.

You'll find him.

What's your name?

Where have you come from?

Can you fight with a sword?

No.

Shivaji.

Shivaji!

Or only praises?

Shivaji...

Only sing praises.

I'm glad that the weak one within me is dead.

He couldn't see the beauty hidden in adverse situations...

..and definitely no courage to emerge victorious.

It is a huge calamity.

What's wrong with these men?

That's why I say, I'm glad, the weak one within me is dead.

Now, it's only me.

Now, it's only me.

I can breathe freely. My vision is absolutely clear.

Life is so easy and effortless.

That's why I say, I'm glad, the weak one within me is dead.

What remains is an empty hand...

...that carries the remains of freedom.

Shivaji...

- Shivaji... - Amar, hurry up.

There's a problem. Hurry up.

Come on. What are you waiting for?

Hurry up.

- Come on... Hurry up! - Shivaji! Shivaji!

- Only sing praises! - Hop on.

Hop on. There's a problem. Only sing praises.

There's a problem. Only sing praises.

Shivaji. Shivaji. Only sing praises.

Gautam, what happened?

Nothing.

We're destined to face this.

I don't want to make enemies.

What happened? Who did this?

Patil's man, Ranga.

His son is Gautam's student.

Patil's man, Ranga.

'Everyone, get your homework books out.'

'What was the topic of the essay I asked you to write?'

- 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. - Very good.'

'Now, tell me, who hasn't done the homework?'

'Who hasn't written the essay?'

'Why? What's the reason?'

'Why did you not do your homework?'

'Answer me. Why did you not do your homework?'

'Come on. Out.'

'Stand outside the class holding your toes.'

'Okay.'

'Who will read their essay now?'

'Hey, son.'

'What happened?'

'What happened, son?'

'The teacher beat me and threw me out of the class.'

'What?'

'Hey, come out right now.'

'Out.'

'So, Mr. Teacher, do you think no end of yourself?'

'Why did you hit my son?'

'Ranga, I had asked them to write an essay on Shivaji for homework.'

- 'He didn't do it, so I... - So, you hit him?'

'I'm Patil.'

'You humiliated my son in the presence of other students,'

'you're trying to teach us all about Shivaji, is it?'

'Wait.'

'Sir...'

'You've been appointed to'

'teach students in the school, not hit them.'

'If you do that again...'

'Don't beat the children.'

'You'd been away from the village.'

'I got you back respectfully as a teacher.'

'Has it gone to your head?'

'Sir, you're taking it a little too far.'

'Shut up. Don't you dare open your mouth. Do you get it?'

'Come on.'

'From now on, if you hit my son again,'

'I'll break your leg. Come on.'

'They've started bullying people at the school.'

'What did you say?'

'What did you just say?'

'It's a fact.'

'You dare!'

- We'll file a police complaint. - Don't.

- It'll worsen things. - Nothing will get worse.

Don't worry.

- I'll take your leave. - Brother...

let me come with you.

Don't. Stay here and take care of him.

I'll see you soon.

Sir, I wanted to file a complaint...

...against Ranjit Patil and Ranga Patil for beating someone up.

And atrocities too.

Mr. Amar...

Tatyasaheb?

Tell me.

Amar, what are you doing?

Ranjit is quite close to Bhaiyasaheb.

He's close to our family too.

How could you file a complaint against him?

Forget it. Come back home right now.

Tatyasaheb, the complaint...

...against Ranjit will be filed and he will be charged.

He must realise that he can't play with someone's lives.

Don't worry about things here. I'll take care.

Sir...

File a complaint.

Why?

- Think about what you're saying. - Listen.

File a complaint. It's your responsibility.

So...

You're quite a daredevil.

I supported you as a community member,

but you're being ungrateful.

You were wrong, sir.

You shouldn't have beaten up Gautam.

So, you'll tell me what's right and what's wrong?

Come over to my place.

I'll deal with you.

I've warned you a hundred times.

Do you know, who you're messing with?

This man?

Follow his orders. Go and see him.

Sir, forgive him this time.

He's like a younger brother to you.

Heard that?

Let us know, if you need anything else?

Oh, no. I won't need anything when you're around.

Ma'am...

Do you have books by Dr. Samar?

Shelf number two.

Okay.

'Shivaji Chhatrapati's Thoughts and Today's Modern Society'

"It's been over 350 years."

"Shivaji Maharaj was born in Shivneri, in the year 1630."

"He died in the year 1680."

"He lived for 18,306 days."

"Have we learnt or understood anything from it?"

"The only reason is that"

"to this date,"

"a comprehensive and acceptable biography of Shivaji is not available."

"A leader like Shivaji Maharaj"

"is rare not only in Maharashtra, or our country,"

"but also, in the wide world over."

"His warfare techniques

were indeed fascinating,"

"but it's his character"

"that is remarkable."

"The epitome of resoluteness,"

"the pillar of support for everyone..."

"The epitome of resoluteness,"

"the pillar of support for everyone..."

"the determined one, under any conditions,"

"his highness was as good as an ascetic."

"The successful, the renowned,"

"the capable, the blessed,"

"the virtuous one, with high morals,"

"he was the wise king."

Excuse me. The library hours are over.

Don't bother.

We have nothing to do with that.

I'll tell him.

I'm disconnecting.

Idiot, lower the volume.

So, Anna. What have you decided?

If we back out this time,

they'll beat up someone else next time.

They must be taught a lesson.

An atrocity charge will set them right.

Anna, I'm not saying, you should withdraw.

Let's not argue.

Mr. MLA wants the matter closed.

Do you get it?

I will speak with Ranjit sir.

I'm here for you.

We've got to live in this village...

Live happily.

Do you get it?

- Take this. - No.

Take it, Anna!

I'll give you more, if you need.

As for the society...

Am I dead?

I'll break their bones. No one will touch you.

I know, they've all become arrogant.

But this is not the time, to teach them a lesson.

So?

But what do I tell Amar and Gautam?

Will the boys disobey you?

Convince them.

Otherwise, one of them may lose their lives.

Well, Anna...

Amar belongs to the same caste as Ranjit.

What if he gets the favour?

Gautam will be in trouble.

Do you get it?

- What do you think about the AC? - It's cool.

I didn't ask you.

Anna, think about it. Otherwise, the boys will suffer.

Yes, sir.

Which is the caste I belong to? Which one's yours?

And man?

Which is the caste I belong to? Which one's yours?

Which caste does a man belong to?

Keep worrying about your caste and some day, you'll lose

the things that are more precious.

They wear layers and layers of clothing,

but still naked within.

And yet, Shivaji, glory to thee!

Shivaji, glory to thee!

Each one's worth, here, is pre-determined.

Everything sells, be it real or a dupe.

It was a plan for a simple and fulfilling life.

That's why it failed.

Shivaji... Shivaji...

Only praises.

Only praises.

Why get into trouble?

Trouble-making is fun. Come on.

- I hope we don't mess up. - Oh, come on!

But... Why...

Hey, there. What's up?

- Hello. It's business as usual. - It's ready.

We haven't met up in a long time.

Shall we all meet up tonight?

Sure.

- Tonight, in the lower lane. - That works.

Oh, no, not me.

Take your Don along.

The shop will be shut by 11.30.

- Then we'll gather over there. - Of course.

Let him not come. I'll call Don.

Come along.

- Hello. Don, sir? - It will be fun.

I was saying, could we watch the performance?

- You guys carry on. - It's usually fun.

- No problem at all. - Okay.

Do you see anything?

They've covered it with newspapers.

I can't see a thing.

- Can you see anything? - Nothing.

They've stuck newspaper.

- Tear it off. - It'll make some noise.

Idiot... move!

What?

It's something new.

Take a look.

Get down.

You're next.

- Can you see? - Yes.

"Open your eyes, my lord"

- "Look at my youth, my lord" - Shut up Dhadkan.

Mother nature is angry. The village must worship the Gods.

We must pray hard to Mahadev.

But we must first save water, my friend.

Like they say, plant trees, conserve water.

"It is a huge calamity."

"What's wrong with these men?"

"That's why I say, I'm glad, the weak one within me is dead."

"Your knowledge about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj,"

"is the only thing that can save you."

"The epitome of resoluteness,"

"the pillar of support for everyone..."

"the determined one, under any conditions,"

"His Highness was as good as an ascetic."

Should we block the roads,

to demand the exemption in the loan repayment?

The village needs immediate help.

As for the long-term concerns...

We can handle them later.

But people must support us.

How would it help, if they don't?

Let's do it.

We'll prepare posters, banners and boards.

Let's gather people at the village square and take everyone to the main road.

- Okay? - Fine.

Let's build a stage at the square.

We can give out instructions and information about the protest.

That's right.

Let's go.

Carry on.

(Birds Chirping)

Today, we have all gathered to...

...request exemption from loan repayment.

It gives me tremendous...

...pleasure to announce that this protest is being led by

...our favourite, who's also an inspiration for the youth,...

...honourable Mr. Amar Morepatil.

First of all,...

I'd like to thank you all...

...for being present in such huge numbers.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me, sir. Enough.

Dhadkan, that's a shame.

My father promised, he'd come over.

What happened?

He ditched you at the last moment.

Amar, what do we do now?

'Sit down.'

'We're done with our lessons.'

'Now...'

'Our topic for today would be...'

'Leadership.'

'What is the meaning of leadership?'

'Yes.'

'Sir, leadership means,'

'the ability to lead and direct people or an organisation.'

'Correct. The ability to...'

'Sit. Sit.'

'The ability to guide and direct organisations and people.'

'So, now, can you tell me...'

'...about any good leaders, you know?'

'Can you name some good leaders?'

'Sir...'

'Mahatma Gandhi.'

'Mahatma Gandhi, of course.'

'Narayan Murthy.'

'Nice.'

'Narendra Modi.'

'Of course.'

'Shivaji Maharaj.'

'Sit down.'

'All the examples you've given, are apt.'

'Only that, we're Maharashtrians.'

'In our minds, hearts, even through our bloods,'

'the only leader, who lives on is Shivaji Maharaj.'

'Our topic, today, is leadership.'

'What are the qualities needed, to become a great leader?'

'What were the qualities,...'

'...which made Shivaji Maharaj a great leader?'

'So, let's focus on that.'

'Okay?'

'Are you sure, you're prepared?'

'Okay.'

How many animals do you have?

Three or four.

What about you?

Three or four. Why?

Do as I say.

Get them to the square.

- Dhadkan... - Yes.

Call Deva.

Ask him to get his animals.

But Amar...

Just go and get them.

- "Our demands..." - "Must be fulfilled."

- "Our demands..." - "Must be fulfilled."

- "Cattle Camps..." - "Must be made."

- "Our demands..." - "Must be fulfilled."

- "Our demands..." - "Must be fulfilled."

- "Our only passion..." - "The progress of our village."

- "Our demands..." - "Must be fulfilled."

- "Our demands..." - "Must be fulfilled."

"Who dare refuse our demands?"

"We won't budge without them fulfilled."

"Who dare refuse our demands?"

"We won't budge without them fulfilled."

- "Cattle Camps..." - "Must be made."

- "Cattle Camps..." - "Must be made."

- "Our only passion..." - "The progress of our village."

- "Our only passion..." - "The progress of our village."

"Who dare refuse our demands?"

"We won't budge without them fulfilled."

"Who dare refuse our demands?"

"We won't budge without them fulfilled."

"We won't budge without them fulfilled."

Stop. Why have you blocked the road?

Human life is important.

It must be saved.

But we must save the animals too.

For that, we need the government to create cattle camps.

Promise that and write it down, or, arrest us.

I have understood what the villagers want.

We'll soon hold a meeting to put forward, the proposal...

...for more tanker facilities and establishment...

...of cattle camps in the village.

We'll offer subsidy on agriculture loans and fertilizers.

We'll take it up with the higher authorities soon.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Please clear the road.

Sure.

- "Our only passion..." - "The progress of our village."

- "Mr. Amar... - Glory to you!"

- "Mr. Amar... - Glory to you!"

The cattle camp has been set up using the MLA's funds.

Yes.

I will pay for the fodder required for one meal.

They'd need water too.

You could take up the expenses for that.

Sure.

- If you could do that... - Good.

Good.

And this is the beginning.

It's a small cattle camp. We'll make bigger ones.

Of course! You will be successful.

- Many animals will be brought here. - We'll do that.

Who owns the land?

Half of it is privately held and the other half is a grassland.

- Find out about the owner. - Sure. I will.

Come on.

What was that, Amar?

We worked so hard, but Ranjit and Mr. MLA...

...walked away with the credit.

It's okay.

It's for the benefit of the village.

That's important.

The village is being looked after.

It doesn't matter, whether it's us...

...or someone else doing the needful.

- Mr. Amar, sir will see you now. - Sure. Let's go.

Hello, sir.

Sit down.

We've heard about...

...your social service organisation and the foundation.

We came to request you to take up...

...a water conservation project in our village.

Here's a file with our documents.

We would like to work on your plan of building bunds,

using local labour.

We will definitely offer labour for free.

Okay.

Our officials will visit the site.

- We'll verify your documents. - Okay.

If everything is positive, we'll process it further.

Okay?

- Thank you so much, sir. - You're welcome.

Sir, how was the relationship...

...of Shivaji Maharaj and his subjects.

Shivaji Maharaj worked for his subjects.

He established a connection between himself and his subjects.

This was because,

the people met their king and even saw him.

They could have a free dialogue.

The land holders, the territory holders,...

...and the village headmen, treated people like slaves.

Shivaji made a clarification.

They are not rulers.

They aren't the rulers, instead, they're servants.

That means, in a way, it was thanks to him,...

...the people became confident that they could seek justice.

In my opinion, this is how Shivaji built a family.

We can surely say that.

My dear villagers,

we've been facing problems due to shortage of water every year.

We get very little rains.

Besides, provisions for percolation and storage are limited.

That forces us to get water supply through tankers by the end of January.

This affects the crops badly and reduces production every year.

But this year... The condition is even worse.

If your group gives us a green signal,

our village is ready for work, worth five-six million.

Of course.

If things work out, the bunds will be ready and we'll collect water.

The government is funding the field water tanks. - Right.

If the villagers take advantage of that,

- there'll be plenty of water. - Sure.

Bring it to me.

This is a map.

I will make available everything you need

- for the project as per the map. - Okay.

Have the villagers given their consent for the project?

Yes. We want to get started

with the project at the earliest and get done with...

...most of the things in the village.

Good. I liked the project.

We want the task to proceed smoothly.

Sure. We will do our best.

Come.

'The statue of Dadoji Konddev in Saswad was moved.'

'The district assembly member of Shivsamrajya party,'

'Mr. Ranjit Patil was arrested in this matter.'

'Later, he was released on bail.'

We have Mr. Ranjit Patil with us today.

Let's have a word with him.

Hello.

- Mr. Ranjit. - Yes.

The statue of Dadoji Konddev was moved by you.

There are varied reactions.

What is your opinion regarding this?

How can I present my opinion?

What I did was not based on my personal opinion.

It's history.

It's been written in history.

That's how it was meant to be.

That's what we do?

Well... History mentions,

when Shivaji Maharaj came to Pune...

when he settled farmers there,

Dadoji Konddev wasn't present there.

What I have done is appropriate.

Do you have solid evidence to prove it?

It's mentioned in history. Why do I have to prove it?

It's not a recent event. It's an ancient one.

We're the residents of Maharashtra and part of its history too.

We don't need proof for that. So...

We shall discuss this later. I shall take your leave,

I have a meeting. Thank you. Thank you. Bye.

'Mr. Ranjit Patil hasn't been able to justify his stand.'

'He has left the discussion mid-way.'

'We'll be back after a short break.'

"Sir, you were wrong."

"You're trying to teach us all about Shivaji, is it?"

"Only sing praises."

"Sometimes, we don't open to it, or, we can't take much of it."

"Sometimes, we aren't smart enough to take enough."

"He just ceased to shower it on us anymore."

"Only the teardrops shivering on his eyelashes remain."

Mudra, look at her. Aunt dances so well.

So nice!

Can you dance like her?

She's dancing beautifully.

(Honking Horn)

The car's approaching.

Look, who's here!

Shera...

Yes, sir.

- Did you give water to the cattle? - Yes, sir.

Spray the crops with insecticides.

I had asked Hanuman to do it. He must've done it.

The car looks so dirty.

Driving fast is all you know. Take care of it.

- Yes, sir. - Wash it clean.

- Yes. - We've got to go.

Go with him.

Make it quick.

Your highness!

What's going on?

Nothing. We're just chatting up.

I'll freshen up and join you.

Why don't you ask him once more,

if you can participate in the competition?

I had asked him last year.

He told me, I can't and told me, not to ask again.

Hey Patangya, put the lights on. It's so dark here.

Don sir, take off your black glasses.

Oh, I see. It's the glasses.

I didn't get that. Give me a five.

- Dad, I was searching for you. - Why?

- My teacher beat me up. - To hell with the teacher!

From tomorrow, start pelting stones at his house.

I'll break his leg now.

Don sir, why don't you ask him what happened?

What happened?

Nothing. He asked me, who's the youngest in our family.

What did you tell him?

I told him, it's my dad.

Idiot, how is your dad the youngest?

You still hug mom when you sleep.

Don sir, like father like son.

He's right. It must be his idea to...

(Birds Chirping)

You there, teacher? Step out, you fool!

Teacher, step out!

Do I owe you anything?

Get out!

Get out, will you?

Idiot!

Will you get out now?

Ranjit sir's stand was appropriate,

but he couldn't defend it.

I am reminded of Samar sir.

This is why he insisted,

we must study and get to know Shivaji.

Only then, can we take a stand.

We're having the coronation ceremony in the village, are we?

Yes. Let's do it.

Let's have an elocution competition too.

Don't make it an intellectual event, Amar.

Let's have something else.

People don't come over only for the speech.

Think of something else.

If we need a crowd, let's have a dance performance.

Have you lost it?

A dance performance at a coronation ceremony?

We'll have to face heavy criticism,

if we get women to perform.

That'll do.

We'll have a dance performance.

Do what you want.

Just make sure, we don't end up with a black eye.

What have we all done?

Have glorified his highness, or belittled him?

Many have used him for their selfish purposes.

Shivaji was known all over India.

But he was restricted to Maharashtra

and specifically portrayed as a Hindu king.

As if that wasn't enough, people also called him a Maratha king.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj represented the Marathas.

That's true. But who is a Maratha?

One, who works and fights for independence.

Each soldier, not from a particular caste or a religion.

They were Marathas, Muslims, Brahmins and many others.

Anyone, who served the saffron flag was a Maratha.

Anyone, who stood by the saffron flag was a Maratha.

A true Maratha.

In our national anthem, Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha...

The Maratha is Maharashtra.

How could we stoop so low, that we started...

...dividing Shivaji's name?

Anyone, who lives in Maharashtra, irrespective of...

...their religion or caste, is the descendant

of the one and only Shivaji.

That was a wonderful speech.

Who helped you with the speech and the preparation?

Mr. Kamble.

Our next participant is Asifa.

He broke the confines of slavery.

He gave a tough time to the Mughals and the kings of Deccan.

He initiated the idea independence.

He is the brave warrior,

whose name provokes strength within us.

History celebrates this personality with great respect.

He's none other than Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

I bow to such a prolific ruler. Glory to Bhavani.

Glory to Shivaji.

Good. Who helped you with the speech?

My father did.

Our favourite youth leader,

Mr. Ranjit is here.

I request Tatyasaheb to felicitate him.

Sir...

I had a doubt.

What did Shivaji think about Muslims?

Misunderstanding...

Well...

The belief that Shivaji was against Muslims is a misunderstanding.

Shivaji forced Muslims to convert to Hinduism.

He brought down masjids. Have you ever read that? No.

Instead, he donated to masjids.

He had tremendous respect towards the Muslim saint Yakub baba.

Qutubshah was a dear friend to him.

He had built a masjid near his palace on Raigad

for his Muslim soldiers.

This only means...

...that Shivaji Maharaj was tolerant towards Islam.

In his fight for 'Swarajya', Muslims had a part to play.

What is the proof that Muslims contributed to the fight?

Proof...

Now, tell me... Who led the armada?

It was Daulat Khan.

The head of artillery was Ibrahim Khan.

The head of cavalry was Siddi Hilaal.

The head of archery was Qazi Haider.

His first commander-in-chief was Noor Khan Baig.

Who was his bodyguard, when we went to meet Afzal Khan?

A Muslim!

Shivaji tore Afzal Khan's stomach.

Who, do you think, gave him the tiger's nails to do that?

Rustom-e-Zamaan.

Seven hundred Pathans arrived from Bijapur.

If I search for names, I'll find thousands of them.

Now, tell me,...

...can we deny the contribution of the Muslims...

...in the fight for independence?

Then, why do we have Hindu-Muslim riots using Shivaji's name?

This is a very good question.

This conflict is contemporary.

Add a bit of history to it.

That's it. Use Shivaji's name to fight.

That will lead to acceptance by the public.

Shivaji was never against the Muslims.

He was a staunch Hindu. He was even proud of it.

He believed in Hinduism, but that doesn't mean,

he had hatred for Islam.

Hindu fanatics won't accept that.

But...

follower of Islam must do this. Instead of believing the Hindu fanatics,

if they try to understand Shivaji and his ideology,

they won't wonder, whether Aurangzeb was their ruler, or Adilshah was.

Siddi Hilaal was also a Muslim.

He worked with Shivaji.

Followers of Islam must highlight this.

History is a weapon.

Whether we use this weapon to build our society, or destroy it,

is up to us to decide.

If the unity between Hindus and Muslims has to be established,

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj would make the best binding factor.

You asked a question.

This is your beginning.

Read on.

Thank you, sir.

(Whistling)

The children know about Shivaji.

No one told me about him.

Had I known anything about Shivaji,

I wouldn't have faced humiliation during the TV interview.

You're popular all over Maharashtra.

I must learn about Shivaji Maharaj.

I must learn.

Do you know about him?

All I know, is what you tell me.

"I belong to this caste."

"You belong to another."

"Which caste does man belong to?"

"Shivaji... Shivaji... Shivaji..."

"Only sing praises."

(Cricket Chirping)

(Cricket Chirping)

My king...

I have just felt you like my own breath,

but I'm so unlucky, 'coz I've turned into a stone.

Your reflection in water is like a full moon,

but I'm headed towards the darkness of a new moon.

My king...

I wrote so many words to glorify you,

but my words are stuck in my mouth.

I have created this world,

but now I stare at it like a stranger.

As I behold everything that's destroyed,

I drift away all by myself like the wind.

Despite being born in your land, my king,

our existence is meaningless.

We embrace darkness, which is why...

...we carry the burden of sins.

We love to read your lessons on how to brighten our lives,

but our minds are only full of darkness all over.

Your existence and completeness is only momentary.

My king, our treasures, have gone empty.

The songs of our life reflect restlessness and distress.

The songs of our life reflect restlessness and distress.

My king...

We always sing glory to you, but what we do...

What we do,

reflects nothing of that.

Such a shame!

Shivaji... Shivaji...

Only sing praises.

Only sing praises.

Shivaji... Shivaji...

Only sing praises.

"What belonged to you then?"

"What belongs to you now?"

"He only awaits to see you lead a righteous life."

"At times he's constantly within you,"

Honourable Mr. Ranjit Patil is here.

I request him to say a few words to guide us.

Sir...

- Glory to Maharashtra! - Glory to Maharashtra!

All of you here today...

My friends, my brothers, sisters and elders,

and all the dignitaries on the stage... Tatya...

Greetings.

Greetings to everyone.

In our village,

a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj has to be erected.

It's been decided.

Our young men...

...must follow Shivaji's example and his statue,...

...must inspire them to do the same.

At the same time,

we have to reconstruct the temple of Goddess Bhavani.

I am going to ask Mr. MLA for help.

He will help us see this through. I'm sure.

We're erecting a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

The task will be completed at the earliest.

I assure you of that.

Glory to India. Glory to Maharashtra.

If we must get to know, Shivaji's policies about wealth.

We must read his orders and regulations.

He had ordered...

...that soldiers must not walk through un-harvested fields.

There must be no destruction.

They should not even touch any of it.

If you need food for your horses, you must pay appropriately.

- Nothing comes for free. - Right.

For the armada, they needed wood from mango and jackfruit trees.

But that could be taken only after the owner's permission.

They must pay sufficiently in exchange.

That was the condition.

Since I've come back home,

I've been observing all the problems very closely.

Health, education, water shortage, casteism...

I don't understand, why no one mentions these things.

Everyone is so busy with trivial things,

that no one notices the real problems.

Shivaji Maharaj was a people's king.

He was inspired by the thought of keeping his subjects happy...

...and making them independent.

We're his descendants.

Why do we give in to our situation?

How have we turned impotent?

I think,

in the MIDC area near the village, we must buy land

that would belong to the village to set up a company.

Each one of us will be the owner.

We'll distribute shares.

It'll be a means of income.

We have farming to focus on too.

If the temple is built,

it'll only support the priest's family.

But if we set up a company,

It'll support all the families in the village.

There'll be money and employment opportunities too.

Who are we cheating, by giving up Shivaji Maharaj's ideology?

There surely is love for Shivaji and inspiration too.

But right now,

we must focus on what's important for us.

Shivaji is our predecessor.

But singing his praises isn't enough.

We must follow his ideologies. We must internalise them.

Come on.

Let's follow his ideology.

- Glory to Bhavani. - Glory to Shivaji.

I'm glad your back, Amar. I wanted to talk to you.

What is it, Tatya?

Do you know, what you said at the meeting yesterday?

What will be the consequences?

Well...

I don't know what the consequences will be.

What I said was the right thing.

If something's wrong, it is.

All I want is that the village conditions must improve.

That's not how things work in politics.

If it's politics, game plans and moves are inevitable.

What do you exactly want to do? At least tell me that.

- Do you want to take over the village affairs? - No, Tatya.

I only want you to stand by me. I need help.

So far, you've been a part of politics.

Now, give me a chance.

Let me do something for the society.

What is it that you want to do?

Remember this.

As a father, I will always support you.

But I can't help.

I will only help Ranjit.

Until you gather all your committee members,

- I won't be with you. - Okay, Tatya.

Just call for a village meeting.

I have no doubt that I can do this. It's no use

singing praises of Shivaji.

It's useless to spend time worshipping his statue.

His accomplishments and ideology must be worshipped.

Our children and future generations must know who Shivaji actually was.

We must carry forward all that's good...

...and discard, what's useless.

Everything changes.

It only has to start somewhere.

That's what we ought to pass on to our next generation.

Sir, which quality of Shivaji, makes him the best leader?

(Chuckles)

Not the best.

Ask me what makes him powerful?

Let me explain.

He maintained an army and connected with his subjects too.

Subjects are the people he ruled.

- Each one of them isn't extraordinary. - Correct.

Getting an ordinary man to achieve something extraordinary,

means trusting him.

This is what Shivaji did.

That means, he is an excellent example of good management.

Call him a management guru.

Well... Administration... starts with planning.

- Guidance requires courts. - Correct.

It must be completely understood.

How?

It requires teamwork.

Yes.

What, do you think, Shivaji achieved with teamwork?

Tell me.

Was it easy to chop off Shaistekhan's fingers?

Or even kill Afzal Khan?

The escape from Agra and the loot at Surat...

To execute these plans,

they didn't have mobile phones at that time.

Actually, a major plus of Shivaji was the source.

What is a source?

Naturally available source. For example, manpower, or water.

How to turn them into resources,

so that it can be used at an optimum level.

He never wasted time.

His used wisdom to acquire power. That's what made him powerful.

Correct.

We can speak at length about this, and work will be ignored.

- Yes, sir. - Come on... work...

- Thank you, sir. - Okay. Bye.

I'm not opposed to the idea of a temple or a statue.

But instead of these things,

please consider the company proposal,

Our combined efforts will bring us more income.

We can do some more things in our village.

There's a temple on the mountain in the village.

Once we renovate it, it'll be ready.

We have a statue in Shivaji Chowk.

That one's enough.

With the money we gather for these things,

we can develop sources for more income for all of us.

We'll get shareholders on a cooperative basis

to raise capital.

If we have more capital than we need,

we'll build a library or a study room named after Shivaji.

How is that?

Do you think, it's so easy, Amar?

I don't think, it'll be successful.

It's about our beliefs and emotions.

At any cost, the statue and the temple must be built.

It must be built.

They had strong wrists And chests as big as shields.

Establishing independence was a task possible

only for warm-blooded Marathas.

Yes! A Maratha!

Each and every Maratha!

A brave Maratha!

Your highness,

we want a statue of you over here.

We want a huge statue.

We want a memorial of you.

A huge memorial...

Oh, no! We want the world's tallest memorial.

And your highness,

we want your sword,

the blessing of Bhavani and Jagdamba.

And the thoughts...

Where are the thoughts?

Where are his ideologies?

Or is it only praises?

Only sing praises.

Only sing praises.

Only sing praises.

Your highness,

our lives are full of not only our vibes,

but also, your unfulfilled, unexpressed, incomplete emotions.

Sometimes, there are illusions...

...from the depths of our minds that baffle us.

When... O, when... When will our lives prosper?

When do we get to be in your pleasant company?

Your highness, let us fulfil our life's journey,

following your thoughts.

If nothing else, we can sing...

Shivaji... Shivaji...

Only sing praises.

Shivaji... Shivaji...

Only sing praises.

Only sing praises.

Only sing praises.

Only sing praises.

Only sing praises.

Shivaji... Shivaji... Only sing praises.

Anna...

For providing employment opportunities in the village,

we're setting up a company using contribution from people.

It would be nice, if you could help.

I don't have any money.

I have nothing. What can I give you?

I can't afford to contribute now.

Amar is collecting funds in the village.

I saw that. We must help him.

There's no need. The company won't take off.

That is one of the scenarios. What if it does?

It'll be a good option against Ranjit.

We have no option, besides Marathe either.

If you're wise, you'll help Amar.

Otherwise, you'll remain Ranjit's subordinates all your lives.

- Hello, Tatya. - Hello.

For providing employment opportunities in the village,

we're setting up a company using contribution from people.

It would be nice, if you could help.

Some contribution would be useful.

I can't give you any.

- Sir! - Amar...

Hello, sir.

I'm willing to help you.

I'll have a major share in this.

Sure.

Give me the cheque.

Happy?

Thank you, sir.

Let's go.

Yes!

We haven't gathered sufficient funds.

No one's helping us, because they fear Ranjit.

Secondly, they don't trust us either.

We need an established Personality of the village.

That's how we'll earn trust.

Should we ask Ranjit?

If he supports us, nothing can stop our company.

Have you lost it?

Why would he help us? He was always against us.

He's a demon.

(Birds Chirping)

Come on. Let's catch up with Ranjit.

Forget it, Amar. He'll humiliate us.

Gods also sought help from demons, for churning up the ocean.

And most importantly,

we aren't Gods and Ranjit isn't a demon.

We're working for the benefit of the village.

Whether we do it, or Ranjit does,

our struggle now, will give us power in the future.

How long does Shivaji live within us?

As long as his ideologies live within us.

Shivaji is the support that holds us, when we need it.

Or, the pretence of madness, whenever it's convenient.

Only the wise see the unsolved riddles,

where lie the roots of the efforts needed.

Shivaji... Shivaji... Only sing praises!

Only sing praises!

My king, please take birth once again.

Take birth once again, because...

Your blood within us has gone cold.

It's been divided on the basis of religion and caste.

And men...

Men have grown impotent.

Shivaji... Shivaji... Only sing praises!

Shivaji... Shivaji... Only sing praises!

Shivaji... Shivaji... Only sing praises!

Shivaji... Shivaji... Only sing praises!

- Sir, a last question. - Sure.

Do you have a message for the youth of today?

A message for the youth.

It is criminal to be ignorant about history.

It is sinful to carry false pride about our history.

When saying 'Glory to Shivaji', we must remember,

what Shivaji Maharaj had to say.

In fact, that must be heard louder than our praises for him.

"After all,"

"Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj"

"will live on, because of the youth."

'Based on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's administration,'

'analysed by Dr. Samar in his book 'Prabodhan', (The Awakening)

"After all, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj"

"will live on, because of the youth."

AMAR: This year, the condition is about to get worse.

"will live on, because of the youth."

"Despite being born in your land, my king,"

"our existence is meaningless."

"Shivaji was a people's king."

"We're his descendants."

"Why do we give in to our situation?"

"Do you know about Shivaji?"

"All I know, is what you tell me."

"Mr. Ranjit could not prove his stand clearly."

"He was forced to leave the discussion mid-way."

Brother...

Brother, I...

What do you want?

Dance...

- You want to dance? - Yes.

All the best.

Thank you, brother.

- Just come back with the prize. - Sure!

Sis-in-law!

Lalya, what's up?

I'm doing fine.

I've told your father, if he buys shares,

it'll be profitable for him as well as the village.

But Amar, my father has refused the offer so many times.

He has neither the inclination, nor the time for this.

Sir, please take a seat.

What's up?

I've been telling Amar, that my father is...

...not interested in the company.

I've also told Amar, your father is a friend.

He won't refuse. Okay?

Tell your father, the company

doesn't belong to him, Amar, or me.

It belongs to the whole village.

The whole village will benefit from this.

So far, whatever the boys did, everyone turned their backs.

But this time, you'll salute them.

Sir, if you're involved, there's no problem at all.

I'll ask my father to send the money.

Sir, please sit down for some tea or coffee.

- A cup of strong tea. - Sure.

- Hello, Javedbhai. - Hello.

Hello.

Javedbhai, how can you help with the company?

Well...

He won't help setting up. The terrorist...

...will help bringing it down.

Hey, Ranga! Mind your tongue.

Ranga, don't do that. We don't want to argue.

Tell me...

Akram and Akhtar...

You can have them as players and even like them.

If we like them, it's because of our religion.

Because they're Muslims? Because they're Pakistanis?

Shahrukh... Salman... And Aamir...

You may like them as artistes, but if we like them,

it's because we share the same religion?

The country and the village...

...is as much ours as it is yours.

This land is mine, just like it's yours.

As a Muslim, we may be given lesser rights,

but let us serve the land as Muslims.

I can't prove my patriotism every day.

Forgive me.

You may go.

Shiv Chhatrapati Crafts Limited?

Doesn't sound professional.

A piece of advice. What if the name's changed?

It may prove profitable.

What's in a name? Didn't Shakespeare say that?

But I'll tell you how a name can impact.

- What's your name? - Soham.

- Soham Kulkarni. - Okay.

Glory to Soham!

Glory to Soham!

Did you feel anything?

No.

Now, listen to this.

Glory to Shivaji!

Glory to Bhavani!

Glory to Shivaji!

Didn't you get goose bumps?

That's the impact of a name.

- Hey, what's going on? - Nothing.

He wants us to change the name. It may be profitable.

We may change the name, but what about our blood?

Shivaji is in our blood.

Those who have Shivaji running through their veins,

don't worry about profit or loss.

They put in hard work to attract profits...

...and write their own fate.

In this country, there's only one brand, only one name.

That's Shivaji. Chhatrapati Shivaji.

We can't really equate emotions with practicality.

If we did, our country would've been different.

Glory to Shivaji.

"You asked me a question."

"This is the beginning."

"Shivaji established a connection between himself and his subjects."

"Getting an ordinary man to achieve something extraordinary,"

"means trusting him."

"This is what Shivaji did."

"A comprehensive and acceptable biography of Shivaji is not available."

The Shivdara village has set an ideal example.

Instead of a statue of Shivaji and a temple of Goddess Bhavani,

the villagers have started a company

and Maharashtra's biggest library of books on Shivaji.

'Books, audio and videos from all over the world,'

'required to study Shivaji's life and ideology,'

'are available at this one-of-a-kind Shivdara library.'

'Along with cameraman Satish this is Tanvi,'

'for Aamhi Marathi News, Shivdara.'

"His warfare techniques were indeed fascinating,"

"but it's his character"

"that is remarkable."

"History is a weapon."

"We must use this weapon to build our society."

"Glory to Shivaji!"

"In this country, there's only one brand, only one name."

"That's Shivaji."

"My king, please take birth again."

"This country is ours as much as it is yours."

"Learn about Shivaji, get to know his ideology and then decide."

"Our children and following generations should know,"

"who Shivaji really was."

"Let's resolve to follow Shivaji's ideology."

"The successful, the renowned,"

"the capable, the blessed,"

"the virtuous one, with high morals,"

"he was the wise king."

Putting an end to the knowledge,

Mr. Samar wanted to spread,

can't be done by putting an end to Mr. Samar's life.

I know, he struggled all his life.

After him, his thoughts will continue the struggle

as knowledge, gained by someone or the lack of it in someone.

I can say for sure,

just one day,

or one fine morning,

you can't decide to discard a thought.

Sir, one morning, your existence as a person ended.

But that very day, in the evening,

you've risen again as a thought, that will never be forgotten.

"We can rarely look at history as it is."

"That's the reason we mess up our present and future."

"Acceptance of history as it is, will help us progress."

"We're far away from realizing what we should learn from it."

"Instead, the confusion about whether our history"

"is true or not, is yet to be settled."

"Today, 300-350 years after he's gone,"

"the mere mention of him gives us goose bumps,"

"it fills us up with energy."

"Yet, we think,"

"Swarajya was possible, because he had the 'Bhavani' sword."

"Despite the fact that he has enlightened us,"

"we continue to live in darkness."

"We don't need the sword today."

"We need to think like Shivaji did."

"Singing praises of Shivaji won't do us any good."

"If we follow and do what he did,"

"we'll indeed be his true followers."

"If you can look up to other's sisters and mothers with respect,"

"you're a true follower of Shivaji."

"When you consider the bullets in a woman's chest,"

"a symbol of lovingness, you're a true follower."

"We want Shivaji and Sambhaji must be reborn."

"But if we keep on killing girls in the womb,"

"who would give them birth?"

"Shivaji respected every woman"

"like he respected his mother."

"This is the level you've got to reach."

"Keep that in mind."

"He took along people of all religions to achieve Swarajya."

"Don't we proudly say that?"

"Yet, we stay trapped in the boundaries of religion."

"He belongs to this religion and that one is that..."

"If we hold on to our religions, we'll soon lose something precious."

"If he's a Muslim, he's a traitor."

"If he has a beard, he's a terrorist."

"At least now, we must think progressively."

"Awaken the Shivaji within you."

"Learn to internalize Shivaji's thoughts."

"No matter what you do in life,"

"think about how Shivaji would tackle things"

"before taking a decision."
