Hey.

So, brother.

Is uncle at home or the office?

At office.

The exams will be held after three months.

I'll have to go to a new village

and adjust there.

There's no point to it.

Well, what was the name of the village council?

Bhaypura.

Bhaypura.

Phulera sounds more welcoming.

Bhaypura sounds scary.

Bhaypura.

How's the preparation for exams going on?

Nothing great.

Are you confident of cracking it?

Yes, I am.

Let's see.

What's the problem?

Resign from the job, sit at home and prepare for the final exam.

It's the IIM-A. Your life will be set.

What happened?

-Brother. -Nothing, pal.

Enough of work experience. Now, focus on the future.

Yes.

What yes?

-Right. -What right?

I need to focus on the future.

Say it again.

I need to focus on the future.

That's the spirit, bro.

Has the new secretary joined?

He will join today.

How come you have accurate information about that place?

Are you still in touch with them?

We discussed a while ago that you need to focus on the future.

Forget about Phulera.

You know the joining date of the new secretary.

'Welcome to Village Council, Phulera.'

'Welcome to Village Council, Phulera.'

'Village Council, Phulera.'

'Panchayat'

'Shaheed Rahul Pandey, Central Library'

'Village Council, Phulera'

Village Council, Phulera.

'Council Chief, Mrs. Manju Devi'

'Brijbhushan, number...'

-Hello. Is it the Council Chief? -Hello.

-It's me. The new secretary. -Damn it.

He hung up.

This is fucked up.

Assistant Vikas Shukla.

-Hello. Yes, Vikas. -Hello.

-The assistant? It's me. The new secretary. Here... -Yes. Who?

He too hung up on me.

Something is fishy.

Let me teach them a lesson.

Hey. What is this?

Pull it with force. It should be tight.

-It shouldn't get loose soon. -Yes.

In summer, everyone likes bottle gourd and ridge gourd.

Right? We don't feel like eating anything else.

I make these every other day.

Do you want pizza?

-Vikas. -Yes.

Go to the office and check what that idiot is doing.

-Sure. Carry on. I'll be back. -Sure.

Listen.

Watch him from a distance. There is no need to go close.

-Okay. -Go now.

Why do this drama? Let him join.

If he joins duty,

it will be difficult for the secretary to return.

Do as you please.

-Why do I care? -Forget it, mom.

Why get involved in this?

Why am I getting involved?

If this leads to quarrels, will you handle it?

It is your yelling that got the secretary transferred.

Right.

Should I go against government order and jeopardise my position?

Everyone is blaming me.

The secretary got a mere toilet seat fixed

and you are heaping praises on him.

No, that is not true, Bhushan.

All I was saying is that the poor guy was not at fault.

The legislator lashed out at him quite harshly.

-Why wouldn't he? -What?

These people insulted a reputed man and drove him away.

I too would have got angry if I were in his place.

Yes. I mean renowned people are full of ego.

-They get angry at the drop of a hat. -Yes.

We need to learn to get angry.

But why do you need to learn that?

You are the god of anger.

Why do you need to learn how to get angry?

You crush the chewing tobacco well.

Why is the office of the village council closed?

-Who are you? -Me?

The new secretary.

The office of the village council remains shut these days.

The Council Chief doesn't care about work.

-Why would he open the office then? -I did call him up.

He hung up on me.

What nonsense is this?

It's a government order.

I have to join the office before 7 pm today.

I don't know what's going on.

Come, Mr. Secretary.

-Get a chair. -Please come.

-Hey, get that chair! -Please come and sit.

Here you go. Please.

Please sit.

-Please sit, Mr. Secretary. -Please sit.

-Don't worry. Please sit. -Please sit.

Want some chewing tobacco?

Do I look like someone who chews it?

He's an educated man.

He prefers to have tea. Hey, Butkun. Get a cup of tea.

Don't they have any sense?

They know I'll be joining but they have kept the office shut.

-Right. -Right. It is not done.

-Do you see, Vinu? -What?

The Council Chief is showing anger.

Over what?

The Council Chief had got quite close to the last secretary.

That is why the legislator got him transferred in no time.

That would make anyone angry.

The Council Chief is a renowned person.

Renowned, my foot.

He's no renowned person.

Am I someone insignificant?

I have the backing of the legislator.

I have seen many council chiefs like him.

Go to the chief's house and get the key yourself.

Why would he go to the chief's house?

He is not his servant.

Are you?

Tea.

-Tea. Give it here. -Have tea and calm down.

He is fuming with anger.

Mr. Secretary, what is your educational qualification?

-MA. -MA? What is that?

-It's masters. -Masters.

I don't see him anywhere.

Where did he go?

Has he gone to take a dump?

He's a big man.

He is Vikas, Mr. Secretary.

-Is he the one? -Yes, he is the assistant.

Hey.

I am calling you. Come here.

-Are you calling me? -Yes. Come here.

Come quickly. I'll tell you. Come.

Why did you hang up on me?

Should I teach you how to behave with your senior?

That's not the case.

I was busy with something important. That's why...

Your words are fucking meaningless.

To me? Are you trying to fucking give me shit?

One phone call and a show cause notice will be issued to you. Got it?

Where is the office key?

I don't know.

What?

-I don't know. -Then who does? Me?

Am I the assistant? Where is the key?

Hey! Stop! Hey.

Hey. Hey!

-The key! -He's done for.

Fine! Don't give me the key!

I'll break open the lock and join duty!

Hey!

Mr. Secretary.

Shall I get you a hammer?

Mr. Secretary, if anyone asks you as to who gave you the hammer,

please don't say my name. My name is Vinod.

Why are you scared?

Pal, I am a poor man.

I don't want to get involved in fights within the village council.

Mr. Secretary, don't listen to what he's saying.

You may join fearlessly.

Here you go.

What are you thinking about?

Go ahead.

Take it.

Let's go.

Let us enjoy the scene from afar.

Pal, such things must be enjoyed from a distance.

Mr. Secretary, what are you thinking about?

Break open the door and join the duty.

Go ahead.

We'll be sitting here.

He said he'll break the lock.

Really?

Shall I take Prahlad with me?

No. It may result in an ugly fight.

-Let's go. Come on. - Mr. Chief.

It won't look good if you lock horns when we are here to do that.

I'll take Prahlad with me. I'll be there and won't let things go out of control.

Okay.

But if he's quite high, don't take him with you.

It's hard to say anything about him nowadays.

He's always high.

I have an idea.

Tell Prahlad only to threaten him, not to start a fight.

-Yes. -Okay.

Vikas.

-Hello, ma'am. -Hello, dear.

Give this to Prahlad.

I got food cooked for him at my place as well.

-Never mind. He'll have this today. -Okay.

Listen. The tug-of-war between you and the new secretary is something

-Prahlad should not be a part of. -Hey.

-No. No way. -That won't happen. No..

No.

Not at all.

Say such things secretly. Okay?

-Now, get lost. Leave quietly. -Yes.

Careful.

Mr. Prahlad.

Mr. Prahlad. Get the cot.

Mr. Prahlad.

Get it.

Mr. Prahlad, get up. I got food for you.

Get up.

-Did you get it repaired? -Of course. It looks first class.

You have put it wrong side front.

If you keep lying on it all day, the knots will loosen again.

What else can I do?

Tell me.

You may go.

What happened?

Well,

I don't see the bottle.

I mean it's a good thing to not drink during the day.

Get to the point. What has happened?

Tell me. Are you drunk?

Oh dear.

Speak or else you'll have it.

The new secretary has come to join duty.

He's going to break the lock of the office.

Let's go.

-Are you drunk? -Let's go.

Bring that.

Quite a tough lock to break.

Shall I order tea for us?

No, thanks. I am chewing tobacco.

I don't want to spit it out.

Now, this will be explosive.

Order tea for me.

Hey, Butkun. Two cups of strong tea.

Wow.

Don't stop. Please continue.

Continue.

Why did he bring a cot?

Now, this will be a sight to watch.

Why did you stop, pal? Go on. Break it.

It's a strong lock. You will need some time.

Be careful. Don't break the door.

-Vikas. -Yes.

While I am having food,

-get a cane. A thick one. -A cane?

-Okay? -How long should it be?

-Six... Six feet.

Six feet would be perfect.

Keep it sharp at one end.

-Okay. -Yes.

Hurry up.

Can you get it on the bike?

-I'll keep it horizontal. -Yes.

What hooliganism is this?

I haven't started it yet.

Why ask for a cane?

You'll learn that soon. Carry on.

Listen. I have the support of the legislator. That's right.

Where is the support? I don't see it here.

Carry on.

-Why keep it there? Take it. -Sure, sir.

Wow.

Do convey my regards.

Sure.

So, all good?

Wow.

Do you see this, Mr. SP? He was sent by courier today.

Dear.

What do we name him?

Whatever you wish to, dad. I'll go now, dad.

Do you have a problem spending time with your father?

Am I eating up your mobile data?

I never said that.

I like it.

I want to learn horse riding.

Sure, you may. Horse riding.

Sir.

Hey. Tell me.

What do we name him?

How can I suggest that, sir?

-Shera. -No. That's crap.

Yes.

'Hind Ka Sitara'.

How's it? 'Hind Ka Sitara'?

Dad, 'Hind Ka Sitara' is too long.

So, is the horse, dear.

Just Sitara would be fine.

Just Sitara?

Just Sitara.

Sitara Singh.

-Cool. -Sitara Singh.

-Sitara Singh is good. It's decided then. -That's perfect.

Hereafter, you will be called Sitara Singh.

-Very good. Yes? -Sir.

There's an emergency. You sent a new secretary to Phulera.

He had called.

What did he say?

Speak up.

Hey. Stop singing.

Stop it!

The council chief is flexing his power.

Hey. I'll teach him a lesson.

Right away. Get the car.

Take as many men along, go to Phulera and beat everyone up.

Beat them to pulp.

-Understood? -Sir.

-What is it now? -He is the father of a martyred soldier.

So, will he sit on my head and pee in my ear?

No, sir. I am trying to say

let's complain to the DM

that he's not being allowed to join duty.

Why get involved in trivial matters?

You are a legislator.

-You have to reach court in an hour. -Oh yes.

We have the hearing today.

I have an idea.

Call the DM up.

I'll talk to him.

Hey!

Hey!

Start singing.

Come on. Start.

-Get him on the line. -Hello.

Mr. Legislator wants to talk to you. Hang on.

Here is tea for you.

Bless you, dear.

Hello.

-Who is this? -Get Mrs. Manju Devi on line.

I will do it eventually. But who are you?

Who are you?

I am the one you called up.

I am Manju Devi's husband.

-Who are you? -I am the DM of Ballia.

In the records, why is your number mentioned against Manju Devi's name?

Manju Devi will give you clarity on that.

-The DM on the line. -I see.

-Yes, ma'am. -What hooliganism is going on at the council office?

What hooliganism?

You'll know only if you go to the office.

-What happened? -You and the chief should meet me now.

What happened, mom?

She has called me to the office.

Prahlad!

Prahlad!

-What's going on? -What happened?

Look here!

I did nothing. I was sleeping.

I did nothing. I was sleeping.

Ma'am, he threatened me.

You tell me what happened.

-You know that... -Hey!

What nonsense? How did he threaten you?

-He sent him to get... -Get what?

How did he threaten you?

Is that a threat?

Look. Look at that, ma'am.

Look what he asked for.

Ask him what he was planning to do to me.

As if he could harm me.

Do you think I am a weakling?

One phone call set him right.

Do you think that I am insignificant?

Don't you know who I am?

I'll deal with you later.

And you.

Don't speak beyond your pay grade.

Got it? I am going to meet the DM.

Whatever issue it is, I shall resolve it.

A war is raging on to stop your transfer.

'Mr. Secretary'

A war is raging on to stop your transfer.

'Collector Office'

You took long.

Why didn't you go to the meeting?

The DM doesn't want to see me.

Things will be ruined if I meet her.

Ma'am.

Yes, a mistake has been made.

But you must consider the fact

that the legislator got the secretary transferred for no reason.

Ma'am, my answer is the same as I gave you 15 days ago.

I can't help it.

The legislator is an insolent man

and I don't want to mess with him. That's it.

Mr. Prahlad.

You are a martyr's father.

This doesn't suit you.

Ma'am.

It doesn't matter to me.

If the secretary sent by the legislator joins duty,

his limbs will break.

I don't care if I get jailed for it.

Besides, there is nothing left in life for me.

An hour ago,

the legislator had called up.

He said

that before he returns from court,

the new secretary should join duty.

Otherwise, he will make a complaint to the CM office.

He may complain to the PM office. It doesn't matter.

The joining won't happen.

That's it.

Prahlad.

The secretary had to go in a few months anyway.

So, let him go after a few months.

Nobody goes early.

Nobody.

Ma'am, we too have a job.

We have bigger problems to handle.

Just to stop a secretary's transfer,

creating unrest till Lucknow

doesn't appear to be a wise move.

Sorry, but I don't want to get involved in it.

Also,

take care of him.

-Okay. Goodbye. -Goodbye.

'Collector Office'

What did she say?

We need to go and facilitate the joining of the new secretary.

-Sister-in-law. -Prahlad.

This is the end of the matter.

Take me to the village council office.

'District, Ballia, UP'

-Vikas. Get the office key. -Yes.

-Go. Okay. -Get the key.

Where are you from?

Salkanpur.

Are you married?

Yes.

Where does your family stay?

Paikauli Bazaar.

Okay. Let's get your joining done.

But if you create any hindrance in the work...

Why would I do that?

Ma'am, stop threatening me.

You must have realised by now that I know people in high places.

I have the legislator's support.

You must have sensed it at the DM office.

You are coming from there.

Hey.

Do this. Tell the legislator

-to stop supporting you. -Why?

I am going to break your bones.

-Hey. I will file a case against you. -Don't do that.

Careful.

Hey.

Hold him.

-Don't do that. -Catch hold of him.

-Take this. -Hey.

-Don't do that. -Hey.

-Prahlad. -Prahlad, don't.

-The DM is calling. -Ma'am is calling.

-I'll tell everything to her. -Shut him up.

-Why would you? We will do it. -Shut up.

Keep quiet.

Hello.

Yes, ma'am.

Nothing. Everything is going well.

There is no noise.

Prahlad is operating a hand pump.

No, he hasn't joined as yet.

But we'll get it done.

Everything is going on peacefully.

Okay.

Okay.

Yes.

Which case?

What?

Disgusting!

Oh.

Hey.

Sure, ma'am. Okay.

Jai Hind.

-What case? -What is it?

The legislator had gone to the court for a hearing.

He was convicted in the case.

-I see. -Ma'am said that now the legislator is gone.

And the secretary's transfer?

Ma'am said she'll get it stopped.

-What about him? -Do whatever you want to.

In which case was the legislator convicted?

If you are so concerned, go and ask him. Get lost.

-Get lost. -Go now!

Get lost.

He has been blabbering since morning.

Legislator's support.

-What is happening? -What?

He is being driven away.

Such hooliganism.

Get lost!

-Get lost! -Now!

This is hooliganism.

But what exactly happened?

Go straight. If you turn around, I'll kick you.

I think the transfer has been stopped.

-He's gone. -Yes.

Yes. He's gone.

Mr. Secretary, your transfer order is cancelled.

Mr. Secretary, your transfer order is cancelled.

Sir, collect the change.

-Hello. -Hello.

-How did the transfer get cancelled? -It just happened.

-What happened? Are you not happy? -No. I am happy.

Rinky, breakfast is ready. Come downstairs.

Yes, mom. Coming.

Raveena has called.

What happened? How did the transfer stop?

The legislator got jailed in a court case.

What?

-How? -We prayed for it and it happened.

Prayed?

What was the case about?

It's a strange case.

That is obvious. He is a strange man.

But what is it?

If you are so eager to know, come to Phulera.

You'll learn it.

Okay. I'll call Vikas and collect the details.

-No. I'll tell you. -Okay. Go ahead.

The legislator was convicted in a case of murder.

Murder?

Whose murder?

He murdered his neighbour's dog.

-He murdered a dog. -Really.

The dog would always bark

at the legislator.

So, he murdered the dog over that?

Yes. The legislator was short-tempered.

He kidnapped the dog and got it murdered.

How many years will he be gone for?

Two years maybe.

That's quite less for such a crime.

But the dog's dead body hasn't been recovered yet.

People also say that he killed the dog and ate it.

He is savage.

That's right. How could someone do this?

Is the new secretary gone?

Your transfer has been stopped.

That's great. What else is going on there?

Everything is good. You tell me.

-How are you? -Everything is good here.

When are you coming to Phulera?
