[news anchor] Government has launched a housing scheme for the poor.

If someone were to come forward and donate land to the city,

Government would build houses on that land for the needy.

That's good, don't you think?

Who'd be so generous to donate land?

Please come.

Hello. Hello.

Tell me.

If someone would be kind enough to donate land,

Government has promised to build a shelter for the poor.

I think that scheme is great.

Yes. There's Government land at the city outskirts.

But there'd no point building houses that far off.

That is why this scheme has been introduced.

But so far, no one has volunteered to donate.

I want to donate, sir.

We have 10 acre barren land in Banjara Hills.

Is it under your name?

No, sir.

It's a joint property.

I have the related documents pertaining to my son, his wife and family.

I have their signatures in there.

This land is in the heart of the city.

It must be valued at around 100 crores.

But it falls short in front of your generosity.

Sir, we shall put this scheme into action.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

An hour back, I'd have felt guilty to set foot on this land.

But now, I feel entitled.

Oh, no!

Who is this?

We killed his parents.

Didn't know what to do with him.

Cutie!

What do we do now?

He's a kid, boss. Harmless.

Let's just dump him somewhere.

You never know who he'll grow up to be.

I own this land.

Nobody on Earth can question that now.

What the hell happened?

There was a fight.

Was it a gang fight?

It was just one guy.

He beat them all.

He's still inside.

Hands on your head.

Did you beat up these guys yourself?

Yes, sir.

You're under arrest.

Wait up, sir. No!

He actually saved us.

These are the guys harassing us.

Let me see some ID.

Slowly.

I thought all Indians were timid.

Yeah!

Never saw one who could fight before.

I guess you haven't met a real Indian before, Officer.

Hi, guys!

[multiple voices] Hi, bro!

So, I'm breaking down the company financials into three categories.

Category 1, 2 and 3.

And I want to take your attention to the horizontal bar chart,

where in the months of May, we're at 780,

whereas the last financial year, we were at 120.

So this year, there has been phenomenal growth.

Now, at the end of this third quarter,

we made 40 percent profits.

Amazing, bro! Great job!

Hi. That was good. Come.

Hi. Hi.

Hmm. Interesting.

This girl's raising funds for some random kid's treatment.

Very good intention. Nice.

I'll also donate.

Mom!

Hello? Mom?

Goutham, when are you coming back to India?

You've been asking this since 3 months.

Aren't you bored by now?

I've seen a lot of matches for you.

Select one girl and get married to her.

I'll be off your back.

Holiday or whatever the reason is…

I'm not coming.

If it's an important occasion, then we'll talk.

As of now, I'm busy at work. Call you later. Bye, mom.

Hey. Hey.

What could be more important to him than marriage?

That was amazing! The presentation was on point.

Thanks to you. We did it!

So I've shared a link on your Fatebook.

Send 10-20 dollars to that Foundation.

Give me a heads up, dude.

Just do it!

How much did you send?

200 dollars.

Mr. Goutham, the CEO would like to see you.

I'm very happy with those numbers you presented.

Company's growth is exponential.

Profits are up.

And most importantly, customer satisfaction is at an all-time high.

That's because of you and your hard work.

Thank you, sir.

Therefore, I'd like to make you an offer.

We'd like to offer you a permanent position in this company…

With a very high salary and stock options considering your position.

And most importantly, I'd like to sponsor your American Citizenship.

What did you say?

I rejected his offer.

What? Seriously?

Yes.

Hey!

Come on!

6 crores salary, shares in the company, on top of everything, American Citizenship…

How could you reject it?

My dear friend, I'm grateful to this country.

It has given me a job, money and a house.

A great life on the whole.

But, I could never settle here.

I want to make good money here, go back to my country…

And come up with a start-up.

I want to employee 100 people and settle there.

I want to do something for our country.

This is my plan.

Don't get disappointed. Come on.

Dude, don't you know what people sacrifice to get a citizenship here?

You seem to be more upset than me. Relax.

Due to the sudden death of MLA Brahma Raman in Hyderabad…

Election Commission has called for by elections.

Polling will be held on the 20th of this month.

I'm coming to India, mom.

I'll be there in a couple of days.

What came up?

What did you say? We're going to India to vote?

Do you know how much this trip will cost us?

2,50,000 rupees.

Half of your salary. Why do you want to go? Let's drop it.

Bro, who do you think gave us this salary and lifestyle?

India, of course.

We can never repay our country for it keeps giving.

But being an Indian citizen, we can surely do one thing.

That is to vote.

It's our minimum responsibility.

Dude, you're a true patriot.

I can't take it.

Patriotism is not about celebrating our team's win in cricket…

Or standing in theatres when the national anthem plays.

When you do everything in your power for the prosperity of its people…

That's patriotism for me.

It's my opinion.

We need a good leader for the welfare of our country.

And people like us should vote to bring a good leader to power.

That's exactly why I'm going to vote.

Fantastic! Let's go.

Thank you.

You'll go blind soon if you study so much.

You think you'll fail if you take a break?

I'm preparing for IIT.

I can't afford to waste even a minute and compromise on my score.

Whoa! Alright.

I've got a gift for you. Remind me when we're home.

It'll be evening by the time we get home.

What?!

Why? Where are we going now?

To an alliance.

What?!

What's the hurry?

You've come to India only for 10 days.

You'll cast your vote and fly back.

We can't get hold of you after that.

So, you're not leaving until you're married.

Come on, mom! I'm not even ready.

I can't go dressed like this.

Yes, sir. I just got here.

Don't worry.

How long, sir?

Pull your car back.

Come on, move!

[clamor]

Excuse me.

As you can see, there's heavy traffic jam.

Look. Ambulance is also held up.

'Cause there's traffic jam.

This is not a traffic jam.

A Minister is passing through.

We'd have to wait here till he does.

Valid point.

He's not the only one who's got to be somewhere. Even we've got places to be.

Give me your jacket.

We need to clear the traffic. How would the jacket help?

Give it to me. I'll tell you.

Quick! Strange.

Thank you.

What the hell! Step back, everyone!

I don't want to hear a single voice.

I'm 9 months pregnant.

And you're my husband.

I went into labor all of a sudden.

We should confuse the cop by yelling and panicking.

Okay? Hmm.

Road is clear, sir.

You can pass through.

Ah, it hurts like hell.

I can't take this anymore.

Wonder which rascal blocked the roads.

He's next to us. Keep it low.

Ma'am, why don't you get back in your car?

You think my car's a maternity home?

Sir, we should rush to the hospital.

Minister is passing through.

I'm helpless here. I'm sorry. You could stop the Minister.

But can we stop the baby from coming?

You're right.

If something goes wrong, I'll file a murder case on you.

Oh, my god!

I'll make sure you get fired and end up begging on the streets.

Calm down, ma'am. Where's your car?

Behind the ambulance.

Clear the road.

Come. Come.

Calm down, ma'am.

Make it fast.

Ma'am, please don't dance.

You might deliver the baby here.

Come on. Quick.

Watch yourself.

What an act!

Hey! Hold this.

What's your name? Bye. Bye.

'And you're my husband.'

Dad, I like the girl I just met.

Call off this alliance.

Let's go back.

Hey!

The girl we're going to meet… her dad's a High Court lawyer.

He might file a case on us if we don't show up.

I have an idea.

We'll go to the alliance.

But make sure they don't want anything to do with us.

What?

Okay?

Hmm.

What's wrong, dear?

Why are they laughing hysterically?

Get them coffee at least.

Coffee for you.

I've had 2 pegs in the morning.

Coffee will make me sober. I don't want it.

What is this?

The entire family seems crazy.

My daughter's just as crazy. This would be the perfect fit for her.

Go get her.

Mom, why didn't you tell me we were coming to see her?

I've seen a bunch of photos.

Don't remember her vividly.

Hi.

Hello.

Remember? Jacket?

Thank you.

Traffic jam?

You guys can talk in private.

You told me your name on the road. But I couldn't hear you.

I'm Bhavana.

Nice name.

I'm Goutham.

You like me?

Very much.

I don't want to get married so early.

My family pressured me into this.

Oh. You don't like me?

Anybody would like you.

But I don't want this marriage.

Any particular reason?

I'm not ready for marriage yet. Sorry.

I don't know what to say.

Tell everyone that you don't like me.

Alright.

I hope you like Goutham.

I like him, auntie.

Question is, does he like me?

Tell us. Do you like our daughter?

I like her.

Hmm?

What's up? It's 1 AM and you're still up.

As soon as I'm done with this chapter.

Come on! Don't study too hard.

If you get a rank by some odd chance…

We'll have a hard time finding a prospective groom.

Please stop it.

Why are you still up?

Ah, jet lag, remember?

I brought a gift for you.

Wow! What makes these so special?

Anti-reflective and anti-glare.

You can study for longer without straining your eyes.

Thank you!

Now please get out.

Brand Ambassador of studying, I tell you.

Hello. Bhavana here.

Hi. Good morning.

Bad morning.

I need to see you immediately.

Come to Creative Place by 11'o clock.

I'll be there. Share the location.

Already done.

Goutham! Over here. Come.

Hi. Hello.

Hello.

Okay, I'm leaving. Bye. Bye.

I'll come to the point.

I told you to say no to the alliance. Why did you say yes?

Because I like you.

I told them the truth.

You don't know me.

I have a whole gang behind me.

Wow! Introduce them. Please.

Pasha.

Ganesh.

Attack!

This is Auto Pasha.

Isn't he supposed to be driving his auto?

He does that at night.

In the mornings, he explores his creativity.

I see his huge body.

But I don't see his creativity.

Damn!!!

Your voice is stuck somewhere between a girl's and a guy's tone.

Hey!

Female voice is his specialty. All the best. Wow!

This is Ganesh.

Boxer cum painter.

They're my friends.

And they'd do anything for me.

You don't like Bhavana.

Call the family and tell them.

No. I don't lie.

Let's talk in private.

Sure.

Hey!

What happened?

Even if you hadn't applied lipstick…

I'd still like you.

You ruin your hair by dying it.

You wear clothes that show a little too much.

I don't like it.

But that's my opinion.

I really like you.

Get this into your head, alright?

Bye, Goutham. Crazy fellow! Keep walking.

Goutham is a really nice guy.

You should stop pushing him away.

We really like him. Great guy!

What are you saying?

Listen to me. I think you should love him. Please.

What's wrong?

What's going on?

He's a good guy.

What happened between you guys?

Bro, you've got a fantastic voice.

They're so many rapping, beat boxing, singing and vocalizing groups in the US.

I'll talk to them and set a deal for you.

Thank you, bro.

You're welcome.

Bro, I promise to get you boxing sponsorship from my company.

You'll be a first class boxer. Thank you, bro.

You fell for his bait and sold our friendship?

No, listen. Bunch of idiots!

Goutham!

Yes, mom?

How do you like her?

She's nice. Why?

We're going to see her this evening.

Again?

Bhavana would be upset.

Why would she be? In fact, she called last night.

She requested me to call off this wedding.

Said so many things last night.

But I didn't get a word of it.

I put your dad on line 'cause maybe he would understand.

Look what happened now.

He finally managed to get some sleep.

Even if she agrees to marry you…

Just imagine our wrath.

I can't process this.

Don't overthink it.

I've decided to marry her only.

Excuse me.

Hmm?

I love you.

It's okay. Get up.

How do I know that you truly love me?

I did FLAMES with our names and got 'L' for Love.

And that confirms it?

Absolutely.

I'll also play a game for confirmation.

Okay.

Tear down that poster, get it on video and upload it on Fatebook.

I'll believe that you love me.

Go.

I'll do it.

Bhavana, what's going on?

I just gave him a task.

He's a gone case.

Will you fall in love with me if I tear that poster?

If he finds out about this, he'll chop my head off.

I'm done with impressing you.

Hey! What the hell!

He's tearing the Minister's poster.

Why is he doing that?

Goutham, do you know what you just did?

Just a moment.

Look. Uploaded.

Why'd you do that?

You'd have fallen for him if he'd have done it.

He wouldn't have done it. I knew that.

Guys these days propose to a girl seconds after seeing her.

But I don't need someone who loves me.

I need someone who can do anything for me.

Tell me what I'd have to do for you.

Sure. I'll think it over and come up with a task.

What's the matter?

Some guy tore your campaign poster and uploaded the video on Fatebook.

We can't spare him.

When somebody's successful, he's bound to have haters.

The greatest of leaders have been insulted in public.

Does that make their image any lesser?

Uh-huh.

This kind of publicity actually does good for leaders like me.

When someone does this, public starts to admire us more.

We're highlighted in the Media for no reason.

Forget about him.

[screaming]

4 lakhs.

5 lakhs.

10 lakhs.

12 lakhs.

15 lakhs.

No! Let me go!

This one's fresh.

Raise your price.

5 lakhs.

6 lakhs.

7 lakhs.

9 lakhs.

You'll contest in the next elections.

You should win with a big majority.

Sure, brother!

I'll make the most of your opportunity.

It's the MLA position in my area.

The majority you get should my image.

Sure, brother!

20 years back, I trafficked a few girls and contested as MLA with that money.

It's a sentiment of mine.

Can't let it go.

Take this money and start campaigning from my area.

Bless me, brother.

Nice.

Selfie with 10,000 fools.

I'll upload it on Fatebook.

Hello, selfie girl!

What's up!

When will you give me my task?

I haven't come up with anything yet.

You must've seen leaders who make fake promises.

But you're fortunate that I'm a leader who keeps his promises.

I know each one of you is struggling.

And I promise you that I shall fulfill all my promises.

A politician and a lover are no different.

They're so similar.

How?

They make promises till they get votes.

Guys make promises till the girl says yes.

Both just keep lying.

And after winning, a politician does nothing for the public.

After accepting your love, you wouldn't do anything for me either.

I don't know about the rest.

Just tell me what my task is. I'll complete it.

He's standing up there, making fake promises.

Giving them false hope.

Make him keep his promises.

If you succeed at that, I'll come to you and say 'I love you'.

100 percent. I'll make him fulfill each and every promise.

All the best.

If you vote for 'Aeroplane' sign and make me the next MLA,

I'll get a running tap in every household.

No. 2. 24X7 electricity supply in every home.

No.3. Cement roads in every part of the city.

No.4…

Ma'am… Hello, sir.

It's soap opera time.

Why are you all standing under the sun?

No TV at home.

Oh, my god! So you're missing all the soap?

I can't believe there are women in India who don't watch soap.

Ma'am, if you vote for me, I'll get you a TV.

I'm unlike other leaders out there, ma'am.

I keep my promises.

I'll get you a LED TV.

Hey, stop. What's going on?

Who are you? Why are you recording?

What did you say before this?

I promise to gift color TVs to every family if I win.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

How many auto drivers in the slums don't own their personal auto?

150.

I promise to get those 150 auto drivers new autos.

Vote for the 'Aeroplane' sign, brother. Sure, sir.

Hey, hold on.

Who are you?

Are you from the Press? No, sir.

Who are you then?

Your promises have made my heart full.

How full?

Vote for the 'Aeroplane' sign.

Sure, sir.

I promise to build toilets in every home.

If I fail to do so, you can use the loo at my place.

Polling has just begun at the Khairatabad Government School.

Voters are waiting in line for their turn.

Hello.

Where are you, dude?

In the queue. Looks like it's going to take long.

My dad forced me to be here.

I'm really pissed.

Everyone's here.

What? So early?

Hold on. I'm coming.

I'll just send dad a selfie from here.

Cool.

Give 100 bucks.

Why should I?

I said give 100 bucks.

What the hell!

I don't owe you money.

Oh, so you'll give money only if you owe me.

Of course.

Similarly, leaders owe us development only if we vote.

If you don't vote, you lose the right to complain about the roads, electricity and water supply.

Cast your vote and go.

Come on. Get back in line. Alright, sir.

Last round of Khairatabad By-Elections has come to an end.

Mr. Goutham Govindan has won with a majority of 62,655 votes.

Party members are celebrating in full swing.

Congratulations!

Thank you.

Who are you?

Oh, god! It's you! My fan!

You've slept in late.

You've got work to do, boss.

What work?

What's left to do?

'I promise to gift color TVs to every family if I win.'

'I promise to build toilets in every home.'

You don't have time to meet these promises.

Let's go. Hurry up.

A leader's duty ends with campaigning.

The following 5 years are meant for chilling.

I'll go chill.

Have to use the loo.

Now do you get it, fan?

So you were just lying?

If it takes a bunch of lies to save a marriage…

Imagine the frequency of lies it takes to win an election.

I hope you get it now, fan.

But for me to get married, I need to make your lies come true.

What does your marriage got to do with my campaign?

If I make you keep your promises, she'll love me.

Meet your promises and I can happily get married.

What's the big deal about it?

Just don't keep your word.

Unlike you, I'm not a politician.

I'm a lover. I have to do this. Come on.

I can't meet all those promises and go against all the leaders.

I can't do this, fan.

Forgive me, please.

I've made a video from a voter's POV.

Check it out.

What is it? Let me see.

Oh, damn!

What can I say, Minister Bhanu?

Won't you let me do my campaigning peacefully?

You keep saying that you could make a dog win the elections.

Do I look like a dog to you?

Am I a mad dog?

No. He's the dog. He's the idiot. He's the dumb-ass.

Keep watching. There's more.

I'll win at any cost.

I'll strip him naked.

I'll make him rot in hell.

I'll go to Central and steal his position from under his nose.

Damn!

Oh, shit!

Do I have to be scared?

Are you blackmailing me, fan?

What to do?

If I just deleted it, what would you do, son?

What you deleted was on your phone.

I still have the copy on mine.

He'll kill me if he sees this, fan.

Time for public service.

Look at our leader. He's keeping his promise.

Don't forget to praise him.

Rao, she must be 80.

Will she be alive until next year to vote for me?

Sir, your fan is back.

Fan, I've given TVs to everyone just like I promised.

Autos next?

I've used up all the money I had.

Credit card limit has been reached.

Let's stop this here.

Such a nice car!

How much is it?

It's an imported car, fan.

Worth 50 lakhs.

Let's sell it and buy autos.

Oh, shit!

Come on!

Why are you raided my house?

You said we could use your toilets, right?

What the hell!

I have to use the loo now.

MLA sir, where are you going?

Don't stop me.

My stomach's about to explode.

I have to go.

You've called so many people home to keep your promise.

Hey! Hey!

You're letting them use your toilets.

You're spilling all the water. Stop! You're such a great MLA, you have no idea.

Instead of making such a fuss, just fulfill your promise.

Get toilets built.

I have no funds to do that, fan.

I've sold everything.

I'm literally broke right now.

But I see it.

What do you see?

My house? Hmm.

I should sell it? Hmm.

Brother, what are you doing here?

We're building a 7 star hotel and mall here.

This land is not meant for business of the rich.

We poor people seek shelter here.

Please leave.

What are you saying?

Are you drunk?

Get out of here.

Why should we leave?

We won't let you snatch our land.

Guys, let's protest till our homes are built.

Yes. Let's go.

Sir, public is protesting here.

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

You can't just occupy this land.

This is our land.

It's been donated to build homes for us.

I'm telling the truth, sir. Hear me out.

A group of people have tried to occupy a private land in Banjara Hills.

Hey! You recognize that old man?

Who?

That man.

Police have taken them under custody.

You used to go to school in his auto.

Suspicions arise that they might be naxals.

He's never demanded a penny more.

I don't believe he tried to occupy somebody else's land.

Poor guy! They're beating him up.

Call your lawyer Raghunath. Check if maybe he can help.

Thank you, sir.

It's okay, Goutham.

I assumed no one would help the poor.

But you've been our savior.

I haven't done anything much.

But why are you protesting at this age?

We were promised that land.

I take the responsibility of getting the Government to build you homes there.

Be strong, sir.

Happy to hear that, son.

Thank you.

MLA sir!

Good morning!

Open the door.

Come on, sir.

There's been a small issue.

You'll become a permanent MLA if you solve it.

Alright. I get that you're hurt.

I won't trouble you more.

Just do this one last thing for me.

I'll delete that video and also invite you to the wedding.

I've literally got nothing left except for my wife.

This is a rented house.

I can't sell it.

If I do, owner will knock me down.

Why do you think everything's about money?

You don't need a single penny to get this job done.

Really?

Yes.

Oh, I could do it for free?

Yeah.

Then I shall keep my promise, fan.

That's like it.

Look at this. You'll be excited.

I'll get homes built for you in this barren land.

I'll speak with the Central Minister and have your houses sanctioned.

Let's go and get the documentation done.

Fan, you know that he controls that land.

If I ask him for it, he'll kill me and appeal for a re-election.

He's going to kill you for such a petty thing?

He's a dangerous man, fan.

I can't fight him, fan. I'm extremely sorry.

After watching this video, will he kill you right away?

Or do you think he'll sign the papers?

'He's a cheater, thief, betrayer…'

'Don't trust him.'

I'm screwed!

I'll do whatever you say.

If a dog jumps into a pit for you, it's loyal.

But if the same dog barks right at you, consider it crazy.

You've also lost your mind.

Instead of proving your loyalty…

You're asking me to sign those papers.

I'm not asking, sir.

Please try to understand. I'm not doing all this.

This guy caught me on video and now he's blackmailing me.

Show me that video.

I've deleted it right away, sir.

I don't see the problem then.

He still has it on his phone. Idiot!

Sit down. Let's talk.

Tell me who he is. Show me his photograph.

That looks more like a couple's picture.

Is it an intense relationship?

He's my fan, sir.

Then why are you scared of him?

You can't trust your fans, sir.

They're pretty dangerous.

If you don't meet their expectations…

They might just as well kill you.

Where did you meet this guy?

He came all the way from America to vote for me.

He was supposed to fly back. But now, he's after my life, sir.

Forget about him.

His chapter is closed.

I'll handle your fan.

Okay. Here we go.

Brother, my company will definitely sponsor you.

Yes! My dream's coming true.

Thank you, bro. Thank you.

Congrats!

Why is he so excited?

Excuse me. Are you Mr. Goutham?

Yes?

This is for you.

Okay. What have we got here?

Bro, are you flying back to the US?

US? So sudden!

Bro, you didn't even tell us.

I'm not going anywhere.

Who got hold of my passport anyway?

Private Number?

Hello?

You'll gain nothing if I sign those papers.

But I must tell you, you're so impatient.

I snatch whatever I like from others.

But if somebody tries to snatch things from me…

What will you do?

I've done it already.

Your lovely sister is with Prakash right now.

My men have kidnapped her.

They'll sell her just as easily.

Catch that plane to the US and your sister will reach home safely.

If you don't, your sister will catch the plane to Dubai.

You decide who's going to catch the plane.

Hey!

1 lakh.

4 lakhs.

6 lakhs.

Take her.

Ah! Now we're talking!

Beautiful!

2 lakhs.

Like fresh cheese.

She'll get a good price.

5 lakhs.

8 lakhs.

Not under 15 lakhs.

20 lakhs. 25 lakhs.

30 lakhs.

That's like my man.

Take her.

Let me go!

Handle with care.

She's all yours now. Take her.

Chitra!

Bro, there are many others inside, just like me.

Go and save them.

He messed with my sister.

So I messed with him.

We're a country that believes selling cows is a sin.

I can't forgive you for selling girls in bunches.

Watch your tongue.

I'm not some ordinary man that you tell me what's right and wrong.

I'm a Minister.

Whatever I do is right.

Guess you've never met a common man like me.

Otherwise, you'd be on the right path.

But now that we've met, I'll get you on the right track.

Who the hell are you, huh?

See this stain?

Voter!

You're just a voter after all.

After all a voter?

You're mistaken!

No voter shows up at the leader's house.

But leaders come to our homes to beg for votes.

We choose the right leader and make them MLC, MLA and MP.

Our vote is like an offer letter to demand public service.

Your food, clothes and luxury car… It's all our tax money.

You're a public servant.

I'm not just an ordinary voter.

I'm an owner!

What the hell are you talking?

You're just a voter.

A voter used one of his fingers and made you all powerful.

Imagine what he could do with a clenched fist.

You wouldn't survive it.

Send me back to America as soon as possible.

It's for your own good.

You don't have to send me a plane ticket.

Just sign those land papers.

I'll leave voluntarily.

Hey! You've messed with a politician.

I'll show you a politician's power now.

And you've messed with a voter who gives you that power.

I'll show you a voter's power now.

Wait and watch if you have the courage to tolerate it.

Or else, just sign those goddamn papers.

Will you sign or fight?

You decide!

Sir! Sir! I have a tea stall on the street.

Government is threatening to shut it down. It's our livelihood.

Please help us.

'You're mistaken.'

'I'm an owner!'

'Imagine what he could do with a clenched fist.'

This is how a voter is supposed to act.

But that guy warned me.

Sir! Sir!

We should show him the status of a voter.

Alright. I'll look into it. You can go.

Thank you, sir.

Bro, should we return his stall to him?

Not at all.

It feels good when a voter falls at your feet.

I want to see how many years they'll keep doing this.

I should show him the place of a voter.

Where is he anyway?

He's behind that land issue.

Let him do whatever he wants.

Only then he'll get an idea of my power.

When he runs out of solutions, he'll fall at my feet.

Before you leave,

just look at that girl.

Remember I told you about her.

She has a heart ailment.

Surgery cost around a million rupees.

She's from a poor family.

I thought I should fund her surgery somehow.

I've posted a selfie on Fatebook asking for help.

People made it viral and sent money to me.

She's gone through surgery.

And she's really happy now.

A selfie of mine saved a girl's life.

I'm really happy.

Congratulations!

Come in.

Thank you, sir.

What is it about?

A family has donated a 10 acre land in Banjara Hills for the low income housing scheme.

Minister Bhanu Shankar had not only occupied it,

but also killed the land owners as per sources.

They're planning to build a mall and a 7 star hotel in that space.

You need to help those poor souls.

If you could take action…

You live in America, right? Yes, sir.

What do you do there?

I'm a software engineer.

How much do you make in a month?

4-5 lakhs.

It's a decent job. What more do you want?

Minister Bhanu Shankar…

Goutham, if we file a case on him, he'll go to court…

Fabricate a hundred false documents…

Make you go around the court for years.

You'd have to keep flying to India.

Your life will be ruined, as well as your career.

I'm not sure if those people you want to help will survive this.

If you ask me, don't interfere.

Think practically and then make a decision.

Thank you, sir.

I was meaning to warn you.

But I didn't want to discourage you.

He won't help you.

I don't care who helps me or not. I'm not sparing that man.

A common man will do something a Commissioner couldn't.

But, what do you have in mind?

Yes, Goutham?

Government has launched a housing scheme.

A man donated a 10 acre land when he met with Minister Bhanu Shankar.

But he occupied that land.

I want you to thoroughly investigate this matter.

Tell the public the truth.

I'll introduce my investigative journalist to you.

Sure, sir.

Please come to my cabin.

Hi, sir. Good morning. Hmm.

Goutham, you can tell him everything.

I'll get back.

Sure, sir. Thank you.

[conversation muted by music]

Hey! Where's the MDG?

Why?

Bhanu Shankar sir is on line.

Get back to your cabin.

Go!

Continue, sir.

No, thanks.

Goutham.

Why do you look so nervous?

Press is playing politics.

Police are confusing the public.

I don't know whom to trust anymore.

You'll be betrayed if you trust others.

If you want to change the world, trust yourself.

All those people who changed the world, they had immense trust in themselves.

Goutham, you can do it.

Thank you, dad.

We can't go anywhere near the Minister.

The entire system is on his side.

All our efforts will only go in vain.

I've already told you, bro.

Everyone in the country is chill about this?

You need to compromise.

You can't obsess over this.

These leaders have us by the neck 'cause we compromise.

People don't believe anymore that one of us could challenge the system.

But war begins with a single person.

Let's go to war.

Tell me your plan.

Indian Democracy has 4 states.

Politician. Judiciary. Law. Media.

We don't have to shut up if we don't have their support.

When this happened in Egypt, they rebelled and got liberation.

And it all started with one social media post.

The progress from a social media post has changed their entire country.

Let's implement the 5th state.

Social Media.

Hi. This is Goutham.

I'm a lover.

It's the love in me that brought me to India from the US.

Wondering who I'm in love with?

My country.

You could say that I'm not alone.

That each one of you loves the country as much.

That is why I wanted to discuss a problem with you.

I dream of India becoming the no.1 country in the world.

So I came to India to vote.

In America, irrespective of how the public is…

A leader is supposed to stand by his word.

But in our country, public is expected to be loyal…

Even though their leader doesn't live up to it.

Bill Clinton was removed from power due to a single lie.

Even in India, a Railway Minister and Transport Minister resigned…

When they believed they failed at their job.

There are some good ones too.

Then there are those Ministers with black money sitting in their houses.

Has anyone of them resigned?

'Sir, we voted for you.'

'When we're faced with an issue, solve it.'

We could tell an MLA or MP this.

Constitution gives us the right.

It's their duty to meet our needs.

And this is the Law of Society.

But, have you ever come across a leader who kept his promises?

Have you seen one such leader?

I don't think so.

When a man leaks question papers and ruins students' lives…

He's made Minister instead of put behind bars.

We trust a party's beliefs and vote for their leader.

But he's more interested in jumping ship than doing his duty.

Did we vote for them for this purpose?

A thief is a thief, even if he steals 'cause he's hungry.

These leaders who occupy other's land…

Leaders who switch parties for money…

Do we call them thieves or something worse?

When will their perform their duties?

We get a heart transplant right away if it stops functioning.

Why do we wait for 5 years to change our leader though?

In wedding vows, a couple promises to stick together in sickness and health.

Still, there's a law that lets them get a divorce.

Similarly, when a leader fails at his job,

Why aren't we given the right to replace him right away?

When a leader fails to do good,

We deserve to recall and re-elect. Raise this question.

All of us together shall demand recall in unison.

Government has to oblige.

If we want to instill responsibility in these leaders,

we need the option of recall.

My dear public, a man has donated a 10 acre land for building homes for the poor.

When these poor people questioned their rights…

They were beaten up and shoved in the police jeep like stray dogs.

Bhanu Shankar is responsible for the whole thing.

India is my home.

I'm placing a recall petition to the Election Commission against Bhanu Shankar.

If you think I'm right, support my recall petition.

Jai Hind!

'If we want to instill responsibility in these leaders,'

'we need the option of recall.'

Bro, I know about the 5 year elections.

What are recall elections?

When a politician fails at his job,

public can bring recall elections and remove him from power.

That's a recall election.

And it's necessary right now.

We should support Goutham on this front.

Absolutely!

Sir, what an exciting news!

It's going to be the sensation of the year.

What is it?

It's about an NRI named Goutham, who's storming the social media with his recall idea.

Finally someone has the guts.

Run a special update program on this.

Goutham awakens public with his recall idea on social media.

[anchors' voices overlapping]

Public trusts Goutham with submitting a recall petition against Minister Bhanu Shankar.

Bhanu Shankar…

What's wrong, brother?

What's going on?

He's creating a scene in the name of recall.

I can take it when somebody stains my character.

But I'll never spare those who screw with my career.

His video went viral.

We'll also make a video about who's making him say this.

You'll bring him for the night. And then we shall upload the video.

Our video will go more viral.

Youth of India won't find anything more entertaining.

Get to work!

Hello! Goutham!

Can you hear me?

Stop!

Catch her!

Guys!

Brother was right.

A video of stripping her naked will go viral.

It'll get so many likes.

Catch her!

I don't know you guys.

But when somebody messes with a girl's dignity,

you get what you deserve and the whole world will be testament.

Record and upload.

Record it.

You're recording, right?

Holy shit!

Connect to my Secretary, please.

Sir.

Have you seen the newspaper today?

Yes, sir.

The news about recall election is really interesting.

Sir.

I'd like to take the case as Suo Moto. Sir.

Please put the Election Commission as a respondent.

Supreme Court has accepted the recall election case.

Supreme Court ordered to go through recall election process.

Namaste.

We're here with Goutham, the man who united India on the recall election front.

Students of Srividya Nikethan have joined us for this discussion.

Welcome to my show, Goutham.

Thank you, sir. It's my honor.

Millions of Indians haven't thought of recall election.

May I ask how that idea came to you?

If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Sure.

Just give yes or no answers.

Okay.

Do you think our leaders have solved all world problems?

No.

Have our leaders kept all their promises?

No.

Since we gained Independence,

do you think the gap between the rich and poor has decreased?

No.

Even I was tired of saying no.

That's when this idea popped in my head.

You think recall will bring about a change in leaders?

When a voter votes, he's investing his trust in the leader.

Believes that his future will change.

In India, leaders do benefit from voting.

But the voters don't.

Why does no leader fear a voter in our country?

If we can instill that fear in them, they'll do their duty.

Walk on the right path.

Do you wish to change the Constitution of India?

Constitution has been written for the people.

When there's a problem, we also come up with a solution.

And I believe the solution is to give people authority over leaders.

Why are you so hell bent on doing this?

If Gandhi had thought the same, would we have gotten Independence?

Someone should take the first step, right?

Only then change will come.

If recall is passed, Government will lose billions.

If recall happens at least once, India will know its capability.

Every leader will think twice before making a mistake.

He'll show responsibility.

People wouldn't have to ask for recall again.

Elections won't have to be conducted again.

You're requesting for recall elections against Minister Bhanu Shankar.

But the fact is, you need support from 30% population when you petition a recall.

You have that support?

I have more than one lakh voters.

Maybe you're under this false impression due to social media sites.

Not at all.

1 lakh voters will show up in the same land in Banjara hills on Sunday, 10 AM to support my petition,

I believe that.

Okay. Thank you, Goutham, for coming on the show and talking to us.

Sir, with your permission, I have a question for the students.

Why not?

Thank you.

Is India a great country?

What's the big deal?

You have freedom of speech and expression in this country.

India tops the world in cricket across three formats.

Unity in Diversity.

We stand as one despite caste, creed, sex, race and religious differences.

Do I see a smirk?

You think they're wrong? Isn't India a great nation?

No, sir. Absolutely.

He just said cricket tops the world across all formats.

Unity in Diversity.

We've got freedom too.

But why are you laughing, Goutham?

[all] We want an answer, Goutham!

India is not the greatest country in the world.

You say India's an independent country. Why?

America, England, Norway, New Zealand, France, Denmark, Spain, Italy are all independent countries.

India is surrounded by 8 countries that are independent.

Do you have proof that India's the greatest country?

58% of property value in India is owned by only 1% of our population.

If you take into account the whole world, every one in three poor people is an Indian.

If you count the most billionaires in a country, India stands third.

But, 30% of India lives under the poverty line.

Let me give you a few statistics.

There are 196 countries in the world.

In the World Economics Freedom Index, India stands at 112.

In Media Freedom Index, we're at 133.

Disaster Risk Index, India is at 77.

Corruption Perception Index, 79.

Human Development Index, 131.

Then how are we the greatest country?

There was a time when India was the greatest.

We held justice above everything.

We fought for righteousness.

We sacrificed lives for Independence.

The first ever scientist in the world was a saint from India.

The greatest mathematician in the world belonged to India. Aryabhatta.

We were home to one of the greatest philosophers. Chanikya.

This country achieved Independence by taking the path of non-violence.

Many poor people have fought for this country.

But, we couldn't do anything in return.

Me, you, in fact, all of us…

We were slaves before Independence and we still are to our leaders.

It's sad that we're not hurt by this fact.

We've learned to live this way.

But now, we need to bring change.

Change will come. We will change.

First and foremost, we need to bring change in our politicians.

'Cause if you want to do a country good, you need to start with its leaders.

And the way to change them is this recall.

Why is every party leader at my house right now?

What's up?

Our citizens have zero knowledge of things.

Nobody consumes news like they do.

We're on TV all the time.

I have sleepless nights, man!

Stop it!

Look who's talking!

You had people hit him with slippers at the station.

You had them throw eggs at him at the rally.

You're talking about principles? Seriously?

Hey! Calm down.

We politicians can't fight amongst ourselves.

Each party will suffer.

It's in our best interest that we settle this in private.

He screwed us all by petitioning recall.

If he succeeds by mistake,

we'd have to give up our King size life.

Don't think too much into the future.

Recall hasn't been approved yet.

You'd know if you were the victim. I don't fear anything now.

I've fulfilled all my promises to the public.

Why would they petition a recall on me?

I'm like God to them.

They literally worship me.

They'd recall idiots like you.

Idiots like you, you and you!

What the hell! I should've been careful.

You'll have every party's support, including mine.

That meeting can't happen at any cost.

It won't.

You said we're on the TV too much.

Watch out this time.

Hey, Warn them all. Don't spare anyone.

Ok bro. Leaving now.

Hey! No one will leave to meeting tommorow.

Anyone who leaves for meeting will die.

What if we go?

Hey, Take care of him.

Where are you taking him?

Let me show you what happens if you attend the meeting tomorrow.

There'll be a camera at the meeting.

If you attend, it will be recorded.

Remember that.

Goutham…

Sir.

You said 1 lakh people were coming.

They were supposed to be here by now.

They're coming, right?

Yes, sir.

Get in!

Goutham.

Sir.

Grace time is up. It's 10:30.

Not a single soul's here.

There's pressure on us.

Try to understand, Goutham.

Please wait a little longer.

Officer. Sir.

We'll give them time.

Goutham!

We expected a million people to show.

But you're alone.

I'm old.

Thought I'd be the last one to reach.

But looks like the rest are older than me.

Poor guys! Couldn't come.

Being born poor isn't wrong.

Dying poor is wrong.

In our country, a poor man doesn't die poor.

He dies poorer than he was born.

That's 'cause we don't even exist for these leaders.

We don't have money, do we?

That guy…

He came all the way from America.

We've come here hoping he'll change our lives.

In his victory lies our prosperity.

We know very well that he's doing this for us.

We need to stand by him.

But, what are we doing?

We're not standing by him.

In fact, we're afraid of dying.

We've settled for dying every day so that we don't die today.

That is why we don't dare to live a good life.

We've settled for dying every day so that we don't die today.

Only a true leader can help another.

Only a neighbor can help his neighbor.

Only someone from a community can help a fellow mate.

But a poor guy isn't willing to help another.

We've finally gotten an opportunity.

If we help one another, it's us whose lives will get better.

We gained Independence by chasing away the British.

What's the point though?

These leaders have taken their place.

Isn't it our job to chase them away too?

This is what recall election is all about.

We can't just get scared and sit at home.

We need to step out and show our power.

We need to chase away that fear.

We're going to gather here to make our lives better.

We're not going to fall for your threats.

We're going to show the power of our voter card.

We're going to take you off power.

We're going to use our voter identity to take your throne from you.

Come on!

Let's go!

Don't spare anyone!

I'll go enroll my name.

I don't think anybody's going to show up, sir.

Goutham, we're rejecting the recall election proposal.

Sorry, sir.

No!

Goutham, recall election is accepted.

Yes! We did it, bro.

Goutham's recall election is leading the country towards new light.

There is going to be a recall election polling in 10 days.

Let him do whatever he wants.

Don't pay attention. We'll do what we have to.

I spent 20 crores to win last time.

I'll spend 25 crores this time.

You're still doing outdated politics.

Those days are gone where people vote for money.

So, you better get your act right or I'll strip you naked.

Don't get your hopes up.

Recall election isn't going to change anything.

If that were true, you wouldn't be standing here right now.

The word recall scares you. That is why you're back to the voter now.

Once the recall election happens,

voters will make leaders their puppets.

Hey! You think I'm a joker?

That I can't do shit? Oh, yeah! I dare you!

I dare you to lay a hand on me…

And I'll call off the recall election.

Hey! Step back!

Have you gone mad?

Namaste! You don't have to record, okay?

Put the phones down.

No need for that. Put those down.

You're using technology.

I'll use my experience.

I'm only going to win anyways.

You can't do me harm.

Hey, Minister! You can't do any harm to the people.

This guy…!

Let's go.

I'm a voter!

Bro, why did you come to a TV channel instead of campaigning?

Campaigning isn't only about visiting the streets.

I need to come on TV sometimes.

I'm going in for a LIVE interview.

Upload the video, alright?

Hmm. I want it shared on QTube, Fatebook, etc.

Alright, bro.

We'll also use technology and publicize ourselves.

Bhanu Shankar is with us right now at TV 5 studio.

Let's talk to him.

Hello. Welcome to our studio.

Hello.

I don't like appearing on LIVE shows for publicity.

But I'm here today for people to get to know me.

I have a personal question, sir. What are you hobbies?

Giving to people.

Just like a tree that keeps giving fruits,

I'll keep giving to people.

Bhavani, upload that on social media.

No need, brother.

Someone already did.

Why did you want to become a leader, Mr. Bhanu Shankar?

I was a nerd.

I play cricket well.

I could become the next Tendulkar.

But I became a politician to serve people.

What are your hobbies?

Helping people.

I'd always lend my pencil box to friends.

When somebody wouldn't get lunch, I'd offer my food.

I've reached this position by serving mankind.

Mr. Bhanu Shankar, what are your plans for the future?

Will you become the Chief Minister or Prime Minister?

No! No! I don't thrive on power.

If people desire, they can make me the CM or PM.

What are your thoughts on recall election?

The tree with the most fruits is the one that gets the most stones thrown at.

That's how I think. People may throw stones at me.

That is why politics is in my blood and I'll keep serving the public.

Just like a tree that keeps giving fruits,

I'll keep giving to people.

Bro! That's my phone.

Goutham is doing all this.

He's using technology to torture me.

Looks like Bhanu's Government will lose the recall election.

Exit poll survey says that…

There's only one most powerful weapon in the world…

Which kills the opponent and doesn't give away the killer.

And that's treachery.

It has made the most glorious of kingdoms crumble.

Many warriors had to surrender.

It's a weapon with a 100% success rate.

Let's put that to action.

Look.

Weapon's here.

Pasha.

Salaam, sir.

[conversation muted by music]

Hello.

Hey, voter. How are you?

One shouldn't be too loyal, you know.

The tallest trees are the ones cut down first.

Those who walk the path of truth often find themselves in trouble.

And in today's age, he who does wrong becomes the Kingmaker.

Villains are trending right now.

So I thought I'd get you on track.

It's only a matter of time.

I'll make you the villain.

Turn on the TV.

This man acted inappropriately with Bhavana.

Goutham got it on video and uploaded it.

But the truth is…

Goutham himself hired this guy to do so.

It was his ticket to popularity.

On the same day, 5 lakhs were transferred to his account from Goutham's.

Here's his bank statement.

Take a look.

Everyone must be thinking that Goutham came to India to vote.

But his CEO is LIVE from the US to tell you the truth.

Goutham went to India on behalf of our country to negotiate a deal for some land evaluation.

In fact, he went to earn an extra 35% commission on the successful completion of that deal.

And I just received a text from Goutham yesterday…

That he had successfully completed that transaction.

Goutham has great negotiating skills.

And he's a perfect businessman.

Goutham, what's going on?

Get married to Bhavana and go to the US.

Live in peace.

We can't imagine something happening to you.

Our fear is leaders' strength, mom.

They'll keep scaring as long as we get scared,

Don't worry.

[clamor]

This is the first recall election in India.

And it's against a Central Minister, that's you. Do you feel threatened?

I wasn't nervous the first time I contested.

I'll win anyhow. What's the threat here?

I'm all for this concept of recall election.

But I wish it was against a corrupt politician.

They're going to lose 'cause the case is on me.

After today, none of my enemies would have the guts to point fingers at me.

Namaste.

Oh, god!

A gang of goons kidnapped Bhanu Shankar while he was addressing the Media.

His party members claim that Goutham has ordered this.

Police are on the lookout for the kidnappers.

Check the hood.

Our investigative journalists have recovered footage of Bhanu Shankar in kidnap.

Let's take a look.

Bro, don't hurt me. What have I done wrong?

Let me serve the people.

You petitioned a recall against me and I accepted that.

How was my performance?

Why did you do all this, brother?

For sympathy.

To win the voters' hearts overnight.

Actual politics take place the night before the election.

Watching me bleed and in pain,

all those voters who hated me will change their mind.

And this is how you gain sympathy in politics.

This is what's keeping me on the top.

What a sketch, brother!

I know that my voters are emotional fools.

They're innocent.

Great idea, sir!

Tomorrow, when the voting takes place,

this video will play in the background.

Sympathy and vote majority will ascend simultaneously.

What say? Absolutely.

Amazing idea!

Goutham won't create another problem, right?

I won't step out until tomorrow.

No one can mess with me once I win.

And nobody knows where I'm right now.

Even God can't get hold of me.

Treachery is in every cell of your body.

I'll take you out before the polling starts tomorrow.

You will be exposed!

Like I'm going to let you!

Finish him, guys!

Why are you laughing?

You're going to die in my hands.

Don't click pictures.

I said stop!

You thought only you were good at politics?

If a voter stoops down to be political, there'll be destruction.

Pasha!

Yes. Pasha. You thought he was on your side?

Voter!

Give up these outdated politics.

Let go!

It's nothing. Don't worry.

You wanted to say something for some time now.

You can tell me now.

I love you!

For the first time in Indian politics, a Minister has lost the recall election.

Recall election is a big step in India.

Shyam Shekar, come close.

How many lies are you going to tell today?

Minimum 50.

Not enough. You've crossed that limit last time.

On top of that, you know how bad it's looking for us right now.

Hello, brothers!

If you vote for me, I promise to…

You'll be flabbergasted.

They're recording it?

Something is off.

I'll think this through and get back.
