Check everyone.

Don't miss anyone.

Come on, hurry up.

Hello.

Tickets, everyone.

And IDs as well.

Come on. Hurry up.

It was a very popular story.

My uncle's from New Tehri, you know.

It was in the newspapers as well.

But, we don't know the entire matter.

Where did I keep it?

Found it.

Oranges. Oranges. Sweet Oranges.

Listen...

Listen, boy!

Tell me.

Give me a few...

This Roller-Coaster journey has sent my stomach for a toss as well.

- Get down. - Leaving, sir. I am leaving.

Ticket.

If you're traveling to Devprayag, then why buy a ticket till Pauri?

It wasn't intentional, sir.

Also ended up paying extra.

You could've saved 27 rupees.

Enough for a plate of Daal-rice.

Understand.

What have you done to hide your face?

Pull it down.

It's not what you think, sir.

The cold gets in through the ears first to bite in the ass.

ID Card.

Vikas Bhaguna. And you?

Kalyan Rathodi, sir.

Security is really tight today, sir.

Is the Prime Minister paying a visit?

No, your mother & father are coming.

Here you go.

Grandfather!

Get 90mg-

Vikas (Progress) and Kalyan (Welfare) are going together.

I wonder where this bus is headed.

So it's the most popular story of Uttarakhand. Haven't you heard?

Why is this story so popular? What happened in new Tehri?

- Shed some more light on it, Vikas. - The story's all about 'light'...which goes OFF.

SK. Hey, SK.

Come on down. The entire neighborhood's waiting.

How much are you going to deck yourself in the dark, boy?

Hold your horses, Nauti.

My slipknots tangled up because of you.

Where the heck is the scissors.

I'll come up and untangle your slipknot.

You'll cut something else with the scissors.

Spare me, Nauti.

Eat Tripathi's head.

- What's all this commotion? - Look at him.

Still immersed in his slipknot.

If I had stitched you an elastic pant, then this would've never happened.

- We are getting late. - Now leave it, let him get ready.

Or he may miss the mark because of the knot.

Tripathi, have I ever missed the target?

- Take this. - You...

We're going, But make sure you be on time.

I'll be on time

You be on time.

There they go on their slowcoach.

The children have finished hanging the tires...

...and with that, we begin our extra-ordinary summer competition...

...'Archery On a Moonless Night'.

Applause

And this time five localities of New-Tehri are taking part in the competition.

- Guess what the winning neighborhood gets. - What?

6 months generator expenses for the community hall.

And, it will be paid by the losing team.

As soon as this burning tire crosses the mark...

...a whistle will be blown so participants can get ready to aim.

Come on my brave-heads, and take aim.

And change the fate of your locality.

Will Samgarah take the cake today?

Here comes Brave-heart Baccho Rawat to make their day.

(Crowd cheering) Jeetu Negi will win.

I want to clobber him with my shoe.

Just because he won the last two years,

...hence he is doing whatever he feels like, see he isn't here yet?!

You know what, why don't you try instead.

See there is a reason why Anil Kumble was never an opening batsman?

All the brave hearts better hide, because here comes Sushil Kumar Pant.

SK. SK. SK. SK. SK. (Crowd cheering)

(Folk song) "O laiyya kurmur wali ho, o maa ne jeb me daali ho, o maa phir pyaar se boli ho."

"Jeb mein daali ho"

"And mother talks with love."

"Dear son, win the game."

"Son, get the trophy."

(Crowd cheering)

And the arrow has hit the bullseye.

With that Purab Tola's Sushil Kumar Pant...

...has won the competition for the third time in a row.

SK. (cheering)

(Crowd cheering)

Purab Tola gets 6 months paid generator expenses for their community hall.

Free, free, free!

What kind of a game is this?

Archery in the dark?

Why, bro? Don't you shoot arrow in the dark on your wedding night?

(Mild laughter)

So this story is about...

Lalita Nautiyal, Sushil Kumar Pant, and Sunder Mohan Tripathi.

Either you stay on, or turn off.

What is this close-off, close-off?

Hey, Nauti-beauty.

Beauty.

- Do you think we're stupid? - Yeah, exactly.

(Ha Ha Ha)

What the heck does close-off, close-off mean? It's off-on. off-on.

Whatever.

- Hey Tripathi. - Who's calling?

So can say whatever you want now, isn't it.

Huh?

Because now you've got the license to stan your own factory.

Dude...what are you going to call your factory?

Sunder Mohan Tripathi. SMT Prints.

It's not a retail store, 'Tailor'.

It's a printing press.

Printing Press.

Your mother is a Tailor. I am a designer!

And I am going to design everyone's clothes for the factory inauguration.

' WOW! " No!

- We're all doomed. - No! No!

No. Hear me out first.

We've already seen a sample of your local designs.

Yes.

Now you must try something international.

Because, my factory's name Will be "UK PRINTS".

WOW!

UK PRINTS! UK PRINTS!

But UK Will Still be UTTARAKHAND after all.

It's not like you're opening your factory in London, dude.

And if UK (Uttarakhand) had been London,

...then your father story would've moved ahead from WhatsApp long ago.

He would've found a nice panner for himself.

I hope you have still saved yesterday's newspaper.

His marriage advenisement was hilarious.

(Laughter)

We'll all help to find a new mother for SK.

And then soon, a baby SKwill be on his way...

...who will prance around in our home.

(Careassing) "Allee leh leh leh"

(Kissing sound)

Nonsense.

While children are waiting to be hitched, the old man wants hear the wedding bells.

But I'm not waiting for any prince charming.

Because I have my prince... and charming as well.

Hmmm...

- Nautimwho took your nose-ring. - Not yet.

- Huh? - Gone?

- It was made of diamond. - It was made of diamond.

It was made of diamond.

Bloody...Close-off.

You're timing is always incorrect.

Huh.

Bloody useless

Not useless, It's fuseless.

Wow.

Useless - Fuseless!

Wow! Poetry.

Find it, SK. Come on. Bravo.

Leave it, SK. You won't find it now.

- There's no way he's gonna quit now. - Found it.

- Found it. - Found it?

Good job.

- I am coming too. Coming. - Come you rascal.

- Come on. - Coming.

- Coming you, Wench. - Come on.

(Ha Ha Ha)

Walk in light.

Come on, lads.

Come on.

(Exhales)

What happened?

Come on, fire up the big elphant (Bike) It scares the hell out of me.

Alright.

Come on, big elphant (Bike).

My lawyer friend. Can you still ride?

(Laughter)

- Bloody drunkard, ride in straight a line. - Why don't you do it.

So lawyer, who are you going to scam next?

- Those who scam others, I scam them. - Of course, dude.

You're never going to change. Bloody lawyer-con artist.

Ya right, bloody honest business man, you are going to change in my company.

Yeah

Ride properly, dude.

- Nauti is your pillion passenger - The road's twisted.

Yes, dude. As if you are the only straight one in Tehri.

Should I ride?

- Okay. - Yeah.

- It was really nice meeting you. - Yeah.

Have a nice trip?

- Bye. - Bye.

This is from India, with love.

Incense sticks. We call it 'Agarbattii

For mood and fragrance.

We had a lovely stay, and thanks for these. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank You.

(Chanting) 'Ram'

"For mood and fragrance."

We're the only ones who give free incense sticks.

As a kid you had asked for a Inn so I gave you a Inn

If you had asked for a car showroom, would've given you that as well.

"A father crushes his son's dreams."

"When the Inn became billable, he staned bouncing off."

"He has been spoted taking money from foreigners."

"Father, doesn't it sound familiar?"

"A careless son made fun of his father's dreams."

"Expressed objection for his father's second marriage."

"Son's old enough to get married, but the father wants to hear wedding bells."

Hey listen!

Now, ls there any other solution for this loneliness?

Why publish it in the newspapers, announcing that you're looking for a wife.

Couldn't you find someone, from our neighborhood, silently.

Everyone in our neighborhood is married.

(murmur) Everyone is married!

And, I am no longer a young lad like I used to be.

Mistakes made at the tender age.

Huh?

I am not talking about your mistake. There's an advertisement in the papers.

It's related to my work.

See you later.

(Sadly) Work he says.

(Chanting)

(Phone ringing) Kingrika jhala ghughuti

- Yes, brother. (On phone) - O Ghughuti, your towel is sliding dude.

- No, brother. I'm holding on to it. (Chuckles) - Now listen.

- Yes, brother. - Dainik Jagaran, Page no. 9.

"If you're facing any sex-problems due to mistakes made at your tender age..."

"...then see the difference in 15 days after using our pills."

(Sarcasm) Great.

"Pracheen Saadhu Ayurveda" (Ancient Monk Ayurveda).

2287, Kaudiyal Chowk, Opposite Ganta Ghar. Hrishikesh.

- Get all the information about them. - Yes. I'll do it today itself.

And, did those couples come back from the pilgrimage?

Yes, they have. Let's stan the game.

I've said it a hundred times, you're my uncle's age...

...how can I be your brother?

Hang up now.

"No fun, full refund."

ls this even possible?

Deendayal Juyal. Great.

What is your religion, Juyal uncle?

These four brought the Four Pilgrimage tour package.

Since they didn't have fun, they complaint.

And they came to me.

And who do you think you are?

The Chief Minister?!

My introduction.

(Scoffs)

First tell me one thing, Mr. lawyer.

Who goes on a pilgrimage to enjoy?

It's a place for worship and devotion. Right?

Then answer this question Mr. fraud. Why did you mention "Fun" here?

Were you planning to send them on a different trip?

I think you've calculated differently.

If you keep sticking that toothpick in your ear, then your eardrums will explode.

And if your eardrums explode, then I'll have to explain to you in sign language...

...that they are filing a case against you for 150,000 rupees...

...for holiday expenses, food, and wastage of time.

What? 150,000. What nonsense is this?

This line is just meant for publicity.

Stop hoarding my office, It's a business hours.

- Just leave. go now, please. - Yes, I'm going. I'm going.

But only after you tell me where would you prefer to meet next?

The district forum offers 2 lakh rupees in compensation.

State offers 50 and National offers at least 100, I think.

And then you can use this toothpick at different places. Uncle.

I am sure you must be using this for a month's atleast.

(Scoffs)

Well...where do you keep the cash, son?

(sigh)

- Call us anytime, we're available. - Thank you.

Namaste.

Here you go.

Business.

- Go on, son. - Did you get your first prey yet?

It's hard earned money, boy. Now hang up.

Ya right, hardwork.

Kingrika jhala ghughuti ghughuti ghughuti

Kingrika jhala ghughuti

- Will you make this design? - Yes.

- How soon can you make it? - Sukesh, two cups of tea.

Come back tomorrow, dear.

Cold shoulders are so out of fashion these days.

Your hot shoulder will be ready in a week.

- Okay. Bye. - Promise.

You know what, sister, take my measurements today.

I cannot come back tomorrow.

You know what, Nauti. You should hire some junior designers for yourself.

They will keep you entertained as well.

Turn around.

Not you.

You turn around, SK. He's got his eyes on this side.

Can such a thing happen in friendship?

Once Lalita Nautiyal enters Lakme Fashion Week...

...then I will give Manish Malhotra run for his money, and also Rohit Baal.

That's Rohit Bal. At least take his name properly.

Whatever.

Here you go, brother. A fresh cup of tea.

What's wrong? Did you burn your tongue?

Did you put a bag full of sugar in making this tea, Sukesh?

- Get me another one, son. - Okay.

- Raise your hands. - Bravo, good boy.

Keep it a little tight up here, sister.

Loose fittings are no fun.

- And keep the shoulders bare. - Bare.

- Like in the design book. - What demands.

Turn around.

- Why did you turn around? - I got something for you.

You can even finish her measurements tomorrow.

Her measurement are not going change in a day.

Am I Right, madam.

(Chuckles)

- Don't show up before a week, okay. - Okay.

Bye.

A gift for you from my day's earning. As always.

Kingrika jhala ghughuti ghughuti ghughuti

(Chuckles)

This is just like your plain Chalk. Boring.

I know you're going to turn it inside out. Do as you please.

I am going to turn this into something flashy.

(Panting)

Lalli's back home.

Get me some warm water quickly.

There's no electricity, and I must get a pedicure quickly.

My darling beauty queen, grandpa died 10 years ago

...but that didn't stop her from decking up.

So.

Sit down, Lalli. I know you're tired.

I'll get you some warm water, mom.

And also tea for you.

Thanks, mom.

Since I am making tea for you. so you are talking to me in a mothenongue.

Otherwise, you would say thank moms?

Children are speaking a completely different language these days.

Pronunciations and intonations have jumped out of the window.

Even English sounds so much like Hindi.

Picture becomes pic, and right becomes tick.

Can Sunder really run a factory?

He's got a nice location at Selaqui.

- Sunder is a decent guy. - Too decent if you ask me.

Just like father.

Once someone makes up his mind, there's nothing they cannot do.

Whatever...

But it's not a job for straight guys.

Crafty lawyers like Pant can run a business.

SK can do any1hing. He fits in anywhere.

Whatever...

You've got a soft corner for him.

Your noticing alot nowdays.

(Chuckles)

Whenever you're nervous you light a cigarette.

Don't trust your son...that he can run a factory.

- I lit this one because I am happy. - I see...

Look, son, I spent my life in a government desk job.

Even I wanted to fly, but couldn't find my sky.

Otherwise, even I would've grown a pair of wings.

But you have an opponunity and sky, both.

So take off.

Just don't be scared.

Even if we have to live on the streets.

Okay?

You're making me emotional, Mr. Murari.

(Chuckles)

I am the only father who has to smoke secretly from his son.

Because I am scared of you.

And your cholesterol has scared us all.

So is this at the center of Selaqui?!

Yes.

- Nice, isn't it. - Great.

In a week this area will be ready.

And then we'll stan from the inside area.

I see.

Come on.

LS this it?

Yes of course, do you think I am a millionaire's son?

Come here.

- See this. - Yes.

This is the passage.

And this...l am going to set up my unit right in the middle of Selaqui.

- Nice, isn't it. - Great.

And the printing machines will be set up here.

From Japan.

- Japan. - Yes.

Then what are you going to print?

Eventually, we're going to print medicine boxes.

But, If you want I can even print your posters and put them all over New Tehri.

"Wanted Nauti Beauty."

I am what I am.

But if someone else takes a liking for me...

...then you two boys will be fuming with jealousy.

Jealous boys.

Doesn't matter.

We'll print some boxes of jealousy dousing pills as well.

Where the heck is SK?

He'll never be on time in his life.

(Folk song) Ur kuchhi-Mur kuchhi

"Daam dharo kuchhi"

Laiyya lainchi peetal kainchi

Ur kuchhi-Mur kuchhi

But they didn't grow tall even an inch.

Let me introduce you. Girdhar Puniyal.

Look straight.

Age; G-years, height; 4ft 1 inch.

Same from last year.

And this...

Dhiraj Joshi.

Down here.

Age; 8-years. Doesn't look like it, but he is. And height; 3ft 3 inch.

He didn't grow even a centimeter,

the little rascal. look straight.

And who are you? Their father?

Your well wisher...not.

SK. I am sure you've heard of me.

I've been feeding them these biscuits for a year now. For research purposes.

They are still grazing on them. So cute.

Stop it.

It's not going to do you guys any good, little hippopotamus.

So Mr. Pandar Prasad, now you can state your disclaimer.

"Every child shows different signs of growth."

I see.

We never claimed that they would definitely grow taller.

I see.

- It's just for publicity. - I see.

We've got a kid in our picture, not some model in a bikini eating our biscuits.

But I can be a loudmouth in the coun.

Nutritional value, Carbohydrates 30%.

Nonsense.

Protein 10%.

Utter rubbish.

This exposure is going to be fun.

These biscuits are made only of flour and sugar, but your claims are pretty big.

Now you pay the price.

Get lost, what do you think you can do.

These rug rats won't shut down my company.

And listen, even we have fed biscuits to some of our customers.

Call whomever you want, our hippos will take care.

Of course.

Them. Take a look.

0K8'!-

Move guys, move.

Protect me, children. Cover me.

Do you see how tall they are?

- Why don't I let them escort you to the court? - No-no.

Come here.

(Kids Shouting lndistinctly)

Catch him.

What is this charade?

Look. Look.

Catch him.

Catch him.

What's going on here?

I can read the headlines right now.

"Innocence in tears."

"Four men beat up innocent kids in the office of Shaktiman Biscuits."

"They beat them until they were bleeding."

- Stop it. Stop it. Let's talk. - Yeah...

- How much? - Just a second.

Oh, God. I am in trouble.

- Upreti. Take care of this. - Yeah.

See you later.

Give a blank cheque, we'll fill in the amount.

(Chuckling)

What are you doing, Nauti?

You'll hum yourself.

Let me do it, Tripathi.

I'll be happy that even I've contributed in your factory.

Fine...

Tripathi, don't make her work.

She's a jinx.

Yes, and you are the bad luck, who is always late.

I am not late. You two are early.

- Really? - Really!

- What time did you tell him? - 12:30.

12:30, see.

It's alright, it's not that late.

Where were you?

Feeding biscuits to someone.

Please eat.

You are never going to change.

- Come, I'll show you around the factory. - Yeah.

What a factory!

Superhit factory.

Hurry up. HUFFV UP-

- Puran. Yes, - sir.

- Did you check all the connections? - Yes, sir.

- Son. - Yes.

Today is the first day.

Give the machines a little rest too.

Let them rest on the first day, father?

(Chuckling)

Okay, come back son.

Is every1hing okay?

Yes, we're getting late for the prayers.

Bina. Bina.

Sit down.

Careful, aunty.

You should be careful, Dev.

Looking to score every chance.

Sit down, Bina.

I just said don't keep standing.

But you're standing even in this age.

(Humming)

- Brother SK, have some sweets. - Later.

I hope it doesn't get too late.

What the heck.

Concentrate on the prayers.

Give it to aunty. Go.

Where did she come from?

Wait.

Look. Kim Kardashian.

(Chuckles)

Hello, madam.

Are you one of the eanhquake victims?

What's wrong with your hair, Nauti?

- Why do they look divided like India and Pakistan? - And Nepal as well.

You guys are going to embarrass me in front of everyone.

There was a power cut while I was getting ready, so.

I could finish only one side.

Now, this is my style.

Tell me something, did Sukesh sprinkle water on your dress.

What?

There are flowers growing on it.

(Laughter)

Tripathi, congratulations for factory inauguration.

"L am gonna explode like a bomb."

"Blow your mind away."

"Rule the dance floor tonight."

"l've said it."

"Baby, I'm gonna open fire."

"l am a one-man army."

"Always do what I say."

"l've said it."

"lf you touch me, you'll get blown away."

"l am like a live wire, sweetheart"

"lf you get too close, I'll melt you down."

"You look very soft."

"Baby hard-hard-hard..."

"Baby hard-hard-hard..."

"We're gonna dance really hard-hard-hard...tonight"

"Whistle. . .WhiStle. . .WhiStle. . ."

"Baby, we're gonna dance hard-hard-hard..."

"Card...card...Card..."

"Wedding card-card-card..."

"We're gonna dance with the wedding card today."

Rawat we might need to do more shifts,

They will be ovenime. don't worry.

It's a big order

We need to print migalex.

Quickly load the products.

- Mr. Negi. - Yes.

We have to work hard for new orders.

Great

Look after it. Speak to Rawat about overtime

Yes sir.

Raju. I need the blue file.

So where are you from, Mr. Prashant?

Dhanualti.

I see... We're from there too.

So your job is filtering?

I work for the Sure-Clean Water filter Company.

"Keeps water clean, and clears dust."

Filter. I install filters in homes.

There must be a filter in your home too.

We don't have a filter, but the water comes from Gangotri.

- We boil and strain it. - I see

Yes.

I wonder which website she found him.

Installs filters.

Don't you think we can find someone better?

You're on a different note altogether.

Mom...

Why would we find someone for her? She isn't even 27 yet.

- Why is she in a hurry to get married? - Yeah.

(Clears Throat)

I am so sorry.

I am so sorry.

- Just a minute. - Yeah...

Someone did what needed to be done.

Otherwise, I would be a bachelor even at 30.

Thank God I found a lad for myself.

Sorry.

Bring some tea, mom. Someone's here to see me.

That's the least you can do.

We're going to talk in private now.

- I am so sorry. - No-no.

- You were saying something. - You were saying and I was listening.

(Chuckling)

Go on. Go on.

Here's my ace.

Isee...

I am going to win...this game.

Oh damn. We lost this game.

L'm going, We-

Brother...

You must deliver the consignment by tonight.

- Mr. Negi. - Yes.

- How can the electricity bill be 150,000 (rupees)? - They have installed 5 KV of electricity supply.

Who needs 5 KV anyway, Mr. Negi?

Half the time we're using the generator because the electricity keeps tripping.

Why don't you file a complaint at the electricity Complaint Department?

There is a different court for electricity issues.

There's a panel of three.

I see.

That's great.

- Then put in a complaint tomorrow for load-shedding. - Yes.

- I think 3 KV should be enough. - More than enough.

- Get that done. - Okay.

You were telling me about your company's turnover.

Let's turn over the company's turn over.

If I filter every1hing then the point is, Lalita...

...that I have a clear hean like water.

I won't let any dust get into it.

Here...

Here's my card.

You can call me for a demo...

I mean call me for a meeting.

Hey salesman.

Trying to sell yourself to her.

- SK, get lost you shameless. - You explain to her.

Since you're getting married, you'll need a band.

So we're here.

Best friend.

- Come here. - Mister.

Filter Boy.

We're already in queue to marry Nauti, you don't think you can cut in.

I see.

She is just making a fool out of you.

Shut up!

Come here.

Look, name; Sunder.

Even the chimpanzees of Pauri look more handsome than him.

But he dances to Nauti's tunes.

Can you do the same, son?

Show me your moves.

1-2, 1-2.

Now, look here.

He's been so sly and crafty all his life that now he looks like a fox.

- I see. - Took him 5 years to graduate instead of 3.

But he still looks nice when paired with her.

Brother here has staned his own factory in Selaqui.

He won't make a penny even in 10 years, but he's still going to take care of Nauti.

But I don't know how.

He's got a huge house and convened half the place into an Inn.

But we won't call it greed.

After all, he's doing a good deed.

And then Nauti will also make some foreigner friends.

He's a classic case of a clown.

But still Nauti likes him, I don't know why.

- Nauti, I'll leave. - What did you say?

What did you say?

- Nauti... - Call your grandma, Nauti.

Her name is Lalita. Call with respect and get out.

And take your water filter with you.

Or else we'll shove it up your 'm

- Champion. - Champion.

- Champion. - Champion.

- You are a champion. - No, you are a champion.

- You are a champion. - No, you are a champion.

- We're both champions. Champion.

- Champion. - Champion.

- Champion. - Champion.

Best friend!

Try both one by one.

You're not going to wear them only for a day.

You're not as sman as you think you are, grandma.

In fact, I am very smart.

Everyday 300 small scale new factories open up.

This year the award for new business goes to Mr. Sunder Mohan Tripathi.

(Applause)

It only took him 4 months to get established

- Sir. - Yes.

You must understand, there's no way I could've used electricity worth 300,000 rupees.

Well, the company has been using that amount, okay.

That's why I requested to reduce my load from 5KV to 3KV.

But these things take time.

And the electricity keeps tripping dozen times in a day, and I've to pay that cost...

If you install huge machines, the electricity's ought to keep tripping.

That's why I opened my factory in the industrial area.

So, your problem is that you're getting more bill than usage, right?

Sir, I...

- Then we'll put in a check meter. - Yeah...

- Then we'll get the proper reading as well. - Check meter meaning...

- You mean it will check the meter? - Meter's watchman.

- That's a great idea, sir. - Right.

- That's the best thing. - We'll get it done.

Here you go.

- What's up, lawyer? - So, Mr. Small Scale industrialist.

You didn't invite your friends to the award function.

What function?

I got that award through mom's contacts.

I can't even sell it to pay my electricity bill.

- Meet me at the dam in 10 minutes, with a life-jacket.

What? Dam?

What are you up to now?

What are you trying to pull off by joining both the boats.

You...

Nauti, what is this new gymnastic you're up to.

It's what you guys are making me do.

I have decided.

I'll sit in your boats one by one.

What are you saying? Explain to her.

I'll be your girlfriend for a week, and his for the next week.

And then I'll decide.

- What... - Meaning.

- She's going to date me for a week, and you for another week.

I see.

But you get to decide in the end anyway. We'll still be the losers.

Yes.

- Have you thought what about the other guy's feelings?

Exactly.

If we decide first, then it won't cause a rift in our friendship.

Isee...

Fine. Then...Jai or Veeru?

The decision will be done withmthis.

Heads you lose, Tails I win.

- Agreed. - Okay, Nauti.

Come on.

You've got butterfingers, SK.

Nauti, just for you.

SK!

Poor chap.

He couldn't take it.

He was a nice man.

(Chuckles).

Damn. He's still alive.

See for yourselves. Who Won?

It's tails. SKwins.

But that's a different coin.

He flipped a 10 rupees coin.

Then come and find it yourself. I don't mind.

You're mine, Nauti. One week.

Die, your rascal.

Rickshaw.

We'll stan tomorrow.

Today we're neutral.

Look, Tripathi. We're best friends, but the game is on.

And you...have a weak hean.

So don't be too heanbroken.

You must have noticed how she looks at me. Isn't it?

So imagine you're taking your sister-in-law for sightseeing

...and keep your hands off her.

Isee...

- Intimidation. Intimidation. - What did you think?

"Come, baby, let's together go date."

"Baby, give me a high rate."

"Come, baby, let's together go date."

"Baby, give me a high rate."

"l'll take you for a drive in big cars."

"Tell me which watch would you like."

"Let others wait, baby."

"There are no two options."

"l am your only beloved."

"l'll take you to Europe, not just Tehri or Chamba."

"When you getting gold, why go for copper."

"When you getting gold, why go for copper."

"Make some excuse, and tell the lad to leave."

"Baby, the modern generation demands for an anti-hero."

"When you getting the main villain, why go for the sidekick."

"When you getting the main villain, why go for the sidekick."

"When you getting gold, why go for copper."

"Don't be scared sweetheart, hold on to me tight."

"Choose me and leave the rest."

"Don't be scared sweetheart, hold on to me tight."

"Choose me and leave the rest."

"Hand in hand..."

"...and let the others play go fetch."

"Baby put everyone else out."

"l can hang the moon outside your window."

"And even the stars."

"Flowers fall from the shower."

"l can build a house for you like that."

"Forget all other offers."

"l am lover's topper."

"You're my electricity, and I am your pole."

"When you're getting Rambo, why go for Romeo."

"When you're getting Rambo, why go for Romeo."

"When you getting gold, why go for copper."

"When you getting gold, why go for copper."

So

So?

Did we become more than friends?

We did...

Really?

But... But I don't know yet.

Let his turn come too.

0K8'!-

(Murmur) Let his turn come too.

Nauti.

Hi, I am back.

- So, where are we going for our date, lad? - Your home, dear.

Come on.

Now, this is romantic.

- I'll have to do it out here. - Out here, in the open?

What about the cleanliness drive?

It's not like the government has made toilets.

Careful

Finish and Come soon.

(Murmuring) Don't you know, I've been travelling by the Govt bus?

Oh, my-my-my...

Overconfidence led him to heartbreak.

SK had high hopes, but Nauti chose Tripathi instead.

Girls can make anyone a friend, but only good boys become life-partners.

Right.

SK got jealous.

What was going to happen now?

Now their friendship was heading for a rough patch.

Isn't it nice?

SK, wait.

Wait!

Where are you going?

Make one extra-spicier.

(YummV)

I've other things to do.

Friends isn't the only thing on my list, you know.

Nice!

Nauti, let's tell him.

He must have high hopes.

This is our week.

We'll tell him later.

- Sukesh is Shiny's dress ready. - It will be ready by evening, sister.

Ari...ana.

Arianamthafs her name.

She's wanting Indian dress.

Baby, this is local designer Lalita.

Full name; Deciding.

- Hi, Lalita. Can you stitch a dress for me? And make something good.

And not something too flashy.

She's got some good taste, and not like you.

Doesn't matter what it costs, use the best material you've got.

Buy the expensive one.

Your love's all about showing off.

Take her measurements.

Turn around.

You know what, you turn around this time.

I am going to measure her properly.

- Sukesh. - Sukesh.

- Show madam the design book. - And show her the best one, Sukesh.

Come, madam.

- Yes, sure. - Come

- SK, we need to talk. - Naughty. Naughty.

I mean her, not you.

I know you're Nauti, but she's got more tricks up her sleeve.

If people knew what these foreigners are capable of...

...then no one would've asked them to leave India.

Isn't it?

Sukesh, turn on the fan. I am suffocating here.

You know what, Sukesh.

Take madam for a ride on the scooter.

She will get some fresh air.

Make it good, okay.

Come, Ariana.

Come baby, let's go to the bike.

Go for bike ride. I'm ready

Give me the file.

What the...

What is this, sir?

This bill is for 54 lakhs (rupees).

(sadly)

Sit down. Sit.

Drink some water.

No, thank you.

But this reading is from the check meter.

But the check meter was installed for proper reading.

- But this is even worse. - Right.

We assumed that your meter isn't working, so we thought of helping you out.

So you've got to pay the previous 6 months bills.

You'll have to pay these.

Pay for these?

Sir...we're speaking of 54 lakhs (rupees).

How can I pay 54 lakhs (rupees)?

Plus, I am paying for the generator separately.

Did you make financial planning before starting your business?

...or did you just dive right in?

When the bill is this big, all financial plannings go out the window.

Now you tell us what we're gonna do?

You're running the complaint depanment.

You've to give us a solution.

You've used the electricity, now you've to pay the bill.

As simple as that. Okay.

Mr. Tripathi, drink some water.

Have some

Thank you.

We'll find a way.

Okay?

Come on.

It won't harm to speak to him once.

His methods are wrong.

Plus he's been avoiding us.

What kind of friend is he?

Your binhday's coming up as well.

Things will be fine pretty soon.

Our friend is a lawyer.

He will definitely find a way.

He's staned some lawyer camp in Mussoorie.

That's where he is these days.

Please have some biscuits

Great. Atleast he got you a daughter-in-law before leaving.

The place looks so lively now.

When will he return, uncle?

You know how unpredictable he is.

He comes and goes as he likes.

So...how's your factory doing?

Still trying to iron out the kinks, uncle.

Every1hing else is fine.

Let's leave then. Even SK isn't here right now.

See you later, uncle.

Thanks, Ariana. The tea was good.

You're welcome.

By the way, not every girl who serves tea is a daughter-in-law.

Nauti, right?

Hare Krishna!

Let's go.

Hmm.

Law!

Formula no. 1: Use the law to your benefit, and not for helping people.

Formula no. 2: Everyday someone in this country is breaking some law.

But the Law is blind, son.

The question is how sharp are your eyes.

The remaining formulas and case studies after you pay 50% fees.

Tomorrow, okay.

Thank you. Thank you.

Goodbye.

Please go.

Bravo, Mr. Pant.

Your heanbreak showed you the way to success.

Hail Lord Krishna.

Here's the registration fee.

This is our new business, Upreti. Education.

Soon I'll buy an entire mountain with the fee money.

- Brother. - This is just the beginning, dude.

- Look... - What?

Sorry, Nauti.

We'll cut your binhday cake right after this.

Just let me finish this food.

You two dropped in during lunchtime.

Yeah, finish your food.

Let's go, Tripathi. Why did you bring me here?

He's stubborn.

And can never digest the fact that...

That you two were going at it at our hangout.

- Nauti, listen. - Leave me.

- Do you still want to talk to him? - Listen...

Just for five minutes. Please.

For my sake.

Please.

OhhmWhat a romance.

Have you two decided a wedding date...

...or are you still in honeymoon mood?

Anyway, I don't care.

Tell me what brings you here.

Did your factory shut down?

No, not yet.

But we need your crafty mind.

- I don't know how to... - I knew it all along.

Running a factory is not your cup of tea.

You're unfit for it.

I've always done every1hing for you, right from childhood.

And what you guys called cunningness...

...now you need it yourself.

Stop taunting, SK. We haven't done anything wrong.

The truth is Tripathi, I don't do social service.

You can't afford my fee, and I wouldn't even kiss anyone for free.

So let's mind our own business.

My advice would be to shut down your factory and claim the insurance money.

That's your only option.

Oh... I completely forgot.

Rakesh, get the cake, lad.

Vent out your anger on this, Nauti.

Even this can happen in friendship.

Happy Binhday to you_

Happy Binhday to you_

Happy Binhday to you_

Happy Binhday to you, dear madam.

Happy Binhday to you_

You always wanted a lad like him. That's why you chose him.

He'll always listen to you,

...and you can keep him on a leash.

But with me, you would never have to ask someone else for help.

I thought you come from a family of three women.

Anyway, be happy.

Celebrate your binhday.

Let's go.

How can you cut my connection, Mr. Khanduri?

The case is still under dispute.

My work is completely stalled.

Can you...

Hello?

Poor Tripathi had to spend his remaining savings on generator bills.

He is on the verge of closing down the factory.

His bills were twice the amount that of his loan.

Do you know how much is 54 lakhs (rupees), brother?

So much that one has to sell his house, factory etc.

See here it is, Make In India, brother.

Sorry, take it back.

- Ma'am, please. - No, nothing is possible.

Next.

What happened?

They can't help you either, can they?

I knew it.

What now?

Manju, how much do you love your porch?

(Chuckles)

As much as you love your kitchen, Murari.

Why do you ask?

He was supposed to get the final response for the bill today.

Sunder hasn't returned yet.

Wonder what's keeping him for so long.

Bye.

Why did you choose me, Nauti?

What kind of a question is this?

I fell in love with you, stupid.

And with you, I'll still be coming down to the factory with the lunchbox.

And with him, I would be visiting the jail with the lunchbox.

(Chuckles)

Jokes apart these decisions can't be taken in a week.

But it's done now.

And we have a lifetime to figure out whether it is right or wrong.

But life is unpredictable.

Listen to me...

...please forgive SK.

He's all alone now.

You're so stupid.

Why do you want to forgive him even before he has said sorry.

I really made a big mistake by choosing you over him.

Listen.

Is there anything more left to say?

Every1hin9-

The rest tomorrow.

You had onions today.

See, there should be a place to dry the clothes.

Even if we have a few less rooms.

Clothes can be dried anywhere.

Even you'll have to get used to it.

All your books won't fit in too.

And you must minimize the number of colanders as well.

We can't afford to keep 4 sieves for boiling pasta.

Okay, fine.

Look at him... there he is.

Were you eavesdropping on us?

Huh?

I was listening to your calculations.

We'll have to sell our ancestral home because of me, Mr. Murari.

No! Not because of you, son!

- I'm sure something better is going to happen. - Yes.

Ups and downs are pan and parcel of the business.

By the way, the insurance agents were here.

We'll get a huge sum once we declare bankruptcy.

Enough to pay the electricity bill.

What about the factory loan, generator expenses, father?

I've been wandering from peer to peer, but no one's willing to help.

We're going to lose the home for sure.

H ey?

What can you do?

I did every1hing for you since our childhood.

I'm sure you will stand by me, If I need you.

Stand by you!

The truth is Tripathi, I don't do social service.

But we need your crafty mind.

- I don't know how to... - I knew it all along.

Running a factory is not your cup of tea.

What's going to happen now, Vikas?

I don't think Tripathi would commit suicide.

I think it was an accident.

God knows.

Police couldn't find the body.

- Are you done? - Yes.

Come on let's go.

Hurry UP-

Take your seats.

Quickly.

Poor Tripathi, use to be always tensed.

Oh is it?

That's why he must have lost control of his bike.

So what, every other guy gets a huge electricity bill here.

That's not a good enough reason to be tensed about.

Sunder bought this kuna for me.

His last gift.

Everyone was asking about you downstairs, uncle.

As to why am I not taking pan in this charade?

All this is pretentious.

People trying to share my sorrows.

Why grieve over a cowards death?

Yes! My son was a coward.

A coward!

He didn't have the strength to fight back.

He didn't.

The insurance money would pay off the bills.

And save the house from getting auctioned.

But my son...

My coward son.

Is...

ls he going to come back?

Is he?

(Exhales)

(Sobbing)

'You light a cigarette. Every time you get nervous.'

'Now I think I can run the factory, father.'

(Sobbing)

We are sorry. But there are no chances of recovering the body.

The ashes were meant to be immersed in the Ganges anyway.

We've prepared this report.

Time of death would be around 4:45.

- And the accident... - It wasn't an accident.

It was a suicide!

Suicide!

Suicide!

And mention the cause of death... SPTL!

Do you know what you're saying?

And also mention the second cause of death.

Being a common man!

Who is fighting a battle every day.

He didn't have the patience or the time to fight back.

It was a suicide.

Ensure that you mention this in your report.

What were you saying in there, Nauti?

Sunder can never commit a suicide.

I knew him very well.

He was my friend.

Friend?

Don't call yourself his friend.

You have no clue what he was going through.

Do you know how many times he visited the electricity department?

It's not everyday that one gets an electricity bill for 5 millions!

Don't call him a friend.

He was always a weakling but still didn't choose your path.

And you never understood his weakness.

Instead of helping, you always humiliated him.

I used to go with him from one office to another.

I saw him... falling apan.

His ancestral home was on the verge to be sold.

And that's it... he chose to jump into the Ganges.

Now you have to accept the fact.

He committed a suicide.

Don't call him your friend.

"When Destiny calls thee..."

"...he reaches at the shores of Ganges."

"Don't make the Ganges impure."

"By bathing in it only the body is cleansed, but not the soul."

"There's no way to take back..."

(V.O) I am going to jump in first.

(v.0) No SK, I am not going to jump with anyone.

(V.O) Wait, I'm going to drown you.

(V.O) - Come on, Tripathi. Come on. - Come on. Come on.

(V.O) Come on, don't be a coward.

(V.O) Only if you take care of me.

(V.O) Come on Tripathi, don't be scared. Come it'll be fun.

"Ganges cleanses your mind and body."

"And it's waves carries away our evil."

"One who passes away never comes back."

"Only your deeds are what stays with you."

"Ganges cleanses your mind and body."

"And its waves carries away our evil."

"Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! "

"Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! "

"Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! "

"Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! "

"What's now with you is what's yours."

"And the rest is just an illusion."

"Why don't we understand..."

"...the body perishable, and the mind's delusional."

"The saffron cloth wrapped around your body will stay..."

"...but you'll leave every1hing else behind"

"Ganges cleanses your mind and body."

"And its waves carries away our evil."

"Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! "

"Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! "

"Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! "

"Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! "

"Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! "

"Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! "

'Don't call him a friend.'

"Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! "

I've always done every1hing for you, right from childhood.

"Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! Hail Ganges! "

'Don't call him your friend.'

Damn...the reason of his death was high electricity bills.

If this process continues, at least our country's population problem might get solved.

Sir.

Have you read the news about Sunder Mohan Tripathi?

Yes, I've been getting calls since morning.

But I am on duty. Correct?

He had the pay the bill and that's it.

Right?

These sweets are really fresh, my friend.

From Motiram, right?

Yes.

We can finished rest of the process later.

Let's work on this point.

. OKaY . OKaY

Hello.

Hello, sir.

Mr. Tripathi, everyone has staned saying it was a suicide.

And you can't claim for insurance in suicide cases.

That's why we've put your case on standby.

Then why are you here?

Look Mr. Bhagwat

Do what you think is right.

That's all I want to say.

We're done taking up small jobs.

This time we should do something big.

You look very serious. What's the matter?

Don't worry we'll make them a run...

Whom are you going after this time?

Did you find a new case?

After all, business comes first.

Right?

And anyway, I know he's never going to change.

Upreti, get some tea.

I heard rumors that you're defending Tripathi's case.

How much are you going to make this time?

You'll cenainly blackmail SPTL to give you at least 20 million.

You have no conscience.

That's why I chose Tripathi.

Did you get your answer?

Go... and make money over your friend's dead body.

But let me make one thing clear.

I am going to fight for Tripathi.

And I can go against anyone for it.

Upreti, didn't you tell madam yet.

Under section 108, 498, 323, 504 and 506 for mental tenure...

...is what I am going to sue the SPTL for.

Didn't you tell her yet that Sushil Kumar Pant has stopped scamming people...

...and he's taken up his friend Tripathi's case.

Didn't you tell her?

I am not going to fold my hands and watch quietly like others.

I am going to drag them to coun and make life hell for SPTL.

And don't forget to tell her that 'Right to Privacy' is a basic right.

Next time ensure that no one enters my cabin without permission.

Tell her.

Uncle.

Hmm.

Don't pay that electricity bill, uncle.

We're going to fight back.

But, the owner of the factory is dead.

Whom are we going to fight for now?

The owner of the factory is right in front of me, uncle.

From today onwards you are my client.

Hey Nauti...

Come in.

Come.

Sit.

I'll make some cinnamon tea for both of you.

Yes, uncle.

"You made me cry..."

"You made me laugh."

"l lost my hean to win your love."

"She asked for a star..."

"l got the moon on the earth."

"From my eyes"

"The one who never got away from my eyes for a moment,"

"got lost suddenly while I was looking."

"l think..."

"l think that she was very innocent."

"l think that she was very innocent."

"But in a flash she became someone else from her real self."

"l think that she was very innocent."

"But in a flash she became someone else from her real self."

"The one who I use to breath in and out as oxygen."

"The one who I use to breath in and out as oxygen."

"She evaporated... Right In front me while I was watching."

"Became somebody else from what she was. Right In front me while I was watching."

"Became somebody else..."

But life is uncertain.

I think you should forgive him

He is all by himself.

(Whistling)

Meter's MRI

I am sure will get it by evening. Right?

No, no, sir. Just a couple of minutes more.

Sure, no problem.

- Chander. - Yes, sir.

Check whether someone fiddled with the power box again.

Unbelievable, sir.

There's no electricity in the office of the Electricity Complaint Department.

Where will you go to complain about this?

Isn't it?

Sir.

Here you are. This is Mr. Tripathi's meter reading.

Your work is over now.

It's quite heavy.

Oh... madam it's you.

Thank you for this.

This will come in handy at the coun.

You have a lot of explaining to do.

Drink some water, Mr. Khanduri.

Go ahead, have it.

Case no. 2736, My client Sunder Mohan Tripathi.

Wait a minute.

We've already heard his plea, and also gave our verdict.

How many times are we going to hear his plea?

Madam, I've appealed again on behalf of my client.

His electricity bill was 5.4 million.

How is it justified? Especially when the meter wasn't replaced?

Dose the SPTL representative wants to shed some light on the case?

Madam, this is nonsense.

As per the Electricity Act, It clearly states that...

...the Consumer has to pay the bill even if the meter is faulty.

These people just set up big factories, which they cannot handle.

If they don't pay the bill by next month,

...then we can cut their home connection...

...and also serve a warrant.

Please inform their family, Mr. Pant.

Next case.

I will tell their family, that soon there will be no electricity forever.

Because SPTL will shut down for good after this case.

Hey...

Madam...

Thank you, madam.

Are you threatening us?

The customer didn't pay the bill, and you are threatening us?

What is this?

I was still contemplating the idea until now,

But now I've made up my mind.

My friend lost his life because of your bill.

So SPTL will have to pay for every wrong bill they ever sent.

You sent him a bill of 5.4 million?

So whether I win the case or not...

...and whether the meter gets replaced or not.

I'll make sure it's 'lights out' for your company in 54 days.

See you in High Court, mister.

Madam.

Why are you hiding back there and filming it, dude?

Come in front and make a proper video.

Put it on Facebook, Youtube, and share it.

Because from tomorrow Lawyer SK will be setting up a camp outside the Court.

So if your meter's running, but lights are off, then its time to blow the horn.

No more complaints, time to find solutions.

Did you get it, dude?

Go ahead upload it.

Let's go.

After this, the video became viral and staned spreading like fire.

Show me.

"So if your meter's running, but lights are off, then it's time to blow the horn."

If this continues, entire neighborhood will be seen standing in the queue...

Neighborhood? I think, the whole of Uttarakhand.

- Did you bring all the papers? - Yes, I did.

Do you think the electricity company will close down?

Well, the fire's started.

But if the company shuts down, how will we get electricity.

We don't get it anyway.

The patient on bed no 07 needs to be on drip.

People are furious regarding Sunder Mohan Tripathi v/s SPTL case.

On the other hand the public is joining hands with Lawyer S.K. Pant.

Can the Sunder Mohan Tripathi case lead to the downfall of SPTL?

SPTL must give an answer.

This is Ratul Gupta, SNS News.

And the way this news is spreading like fire

The stitches on your head has been healed.

And the plaster on your hand will come off in four week.

Since you are feeling better now can you tell us your name?

It's Ratul Gupta, sir.

Ratul Gupta, take care.

What are you saying?

The body is alive!

Tripathi failed even in committing suicide.

One should do what they do best.

He tried to scam but failed.

His photograph was shown on T.V.

Neither could he live nor could he die.

Now he will be lost in the darkness.

Did you understand?

2000 more applications, brother SK.

How are we going to fight for all of them?

We'll need a lifetime for this.

Plus you're going to defend them for free.

I mean, if you had charged them even 10 rupees,

it would've paid for our bread and butter.

That's all.

I hope 54 days isn't too long to shut the company down.

Where do you think you're going?

Listen.

Hello, mister?

Hello, sir. Sushil Kumar Pant from New Tehri.

You're quite popular.

You're that viral video star.

A blackmailer under the garb of a lawyer.

(clears throat)

Keep standing... unless you've been asked to sit down.

This is SPTL, not my home.

Dialogue, huh!

Do you know the number of consumers our company has?

Or what is our company's turnover?

How on earth would you know?

Anyway, biscuit company,

Ayurveda clinic are not on the same level as an electricity company.

I've already fixed a price for you.

One million.

I might sound out of place, sir, but inflation is on the rise.

Plus GST.

So you can definitely increase my share from 2% to 4%.

Eat as much as you can digest Mr. Pant.

Okay, two million.

That's enough for bread and butter...

...but sometimes I like to have this imponed lollypops too.

Please.

2.5 million, final.

Put an end to this matter.

You're so generous, sir.

Hmm.

Have you ever counted the number of bulbs in your office?

What?

Who counts the bulbs?

Stan counting them from tomorrow, Pankaj Bahuguna.

150,000!

Mom.

Father said I should give this to you, and he said you know what to do with it.

According to our sources in Uttarakhand...

...we've found out that SPTL has received 600,000 fused bulbs.

This is a first-of-its-kind silent revolt by the consumers.

"L have a complaint."

Around 250,000 fused bulbs were sent by consumers to Madhya Pradesh's Ace Power Company.

And 100,000 fused bulbs to Rajasthafis Raga Power Limited.

This revolution is spreading all over the country like fire.

They made us stand in this long queue.

Because they are defending our case for free.

It's a good deed.

And here goes the whistle.

So Tripathi did try meeting again.

Because his hean is still restless.

Visible to some, hiding from others.

Like a wandering spirit.

Looks like he has been bitten by the snake of truth

So until he tells the truth, he will be restless

What will he do even if tripathi meets S.K.

If the insurance company finds out

Neither will he get paid for the claim nor will he get justice.

That's true too.

Hmm.

(Announcement) The water from the Tehri dam is being released.

Please stand away from the shores and do not bathe.

The rise in the level of water could be fatal. Thank you.

I saw Tripathi at the bullseye yesterday.

Because your focus has changed.

You didn't see Tripathi, you saw your responsibility.

I've taken on much more I can handle, Nauti.

It's a big company.

And I am a cheap blackmailer...

...who barely squeezed through Law College.

Anything can happen tomorrow.

This is no longer about Tripathi.

Millions of people have hopes with me.

This is difficult,

...but also important, Nauti.

Look at those lamps, SK.

The light of hope is still alit.

Fighting is more imponant than winning.

The case of Sunder Mohan Tripathi's suicide due to increased electricity bill...

...has reached Nainitars High Court.

This is the first case against the Electricity company in Uttarakhand's court.

Consumers all over the country have registered complaints...

with Electricity companies...

...by sending fused bulbs.

Everyone has their eyes set on the High Court.

Shall we, brother?

Come.

The electricity bills are here.

And all the applications as well.

It's all here.

All set.

Hey mister, look where you're going.

The other day you missed the target, and now you're dropping the papers.

I hope this case too doesn't slip through your fingers.

Pardon me, but I didn't recognize you.

Did you come to watch the Archery competition?

You're in a hurry in to know?

Well, the color of your sari suits you really well.

So I thought of asking you where did you buy it from?

I see.

You wanted to ask about my sari, is it?

But I don't like it too much.

That's why I always carry something along.

Yes... Gulnar Rizvi, SPTL's Defence lawyer.

First, let me beat you, then we'll go get a cup of coffee.

Not coffee, madam.

You are in Uttarakhand.

You only get tea here. Local... strong.

And as for the case, I wouldn't comment about myself, but...

...the 40 million consumers standing behind me won't let me lose.

Let's go.

What's the score? Hasn't the WiFi been repaired yet?

Electricity just got restored, madam.

It's 72/4 your honor.

Another wicket.

(Clear throat)

Stan the proceedings.

Who is the opening batsman?

Light, your honor.

Electricity.

In this fast-changing world, electricity has become a necessity.

On 10th October 2013, the Chennai High Court...

...declared electricity as a fundamental Human Right.

But the production and distribution of this electricity is a business.

Trade!

My client Late Mr. Sunder Mohan Tripathi fell prey to the tactics of this business.

On 10th December 2017, Sunder Mohan Tripathi passed away.

The reason,

this bill for 5.4 million from Sunrise Power and Technologies, your honor.

5.4 million.

Due to this obnoxious bill from SPTL, my client committed suicide.

So under IPC 1860, section 304 and 306...

...l charge SPTL for abetment to suicide

...and demand their distribution license to be cancelled.

That's all, thank you.

Wonderful, your honor.

For the first time, we have a storyteller in the court, instead of a lawyer.

I heard that you took 7-8 years to become a lawyer...

...that too from some local law college.

7.5 years to be exact, your honor.

(Laughter)

Your honor, SPTL has always dedicated itself for the welfare of the people...

...and also been actively involved in the progress of the country.

There's a reason why no one died because of an electricity bill.

All these charges have no ground.

Late Mr. Sunder Mohan Tripathi did die, but the reason is definitely not SPTL.

Under IPC section 499, I charge UK Prints and Packaging for

defamation under IPC section 500 on behalf of SPTL.

So Mr. Pant, let's talk about the facts and figures as well.

Of course.

I have all the facts, and...

...how can I talk about the figure with you around?

(Laughter)

These are the facts, your honor.

On 1st June 2017, UK Printers Selaqui's electricity meter started.

The consumer didn't pay a single bill from June to December.

Here are the copies of the bill and my statement.

The date is missing in this statement copy, Ms. Gulnar.

Can you be more careful the next time?

Oh damn...

I think Ms. Gulnar forgot to attend that class in college.

Doesn't matter.

(Laughter)

(Shushing)

Today is a bad day.

One more wicket.

Dinesh Kanik's still left to bat, madam.

He'll definitely hit a six on the last ball.

Don't worry.

Drink some more water, Ms. Gulnar.

- What? - Drink some more water, Ms. Gulnar.

- Drink it. Drink some more. - Excuse me.

- Just a little... - Excuse me.

- Just a sip... - I already drank enough.

Now you're trying to be over-smart.

Exactly, your honor.

My client requested SPTL to supply only the amount of electricity he needed.

He also put in an application to change their load shedding from 5Kvh to 3 Kvh.

But my client didn't pay the bill until the required action wasn't taken.

Isn't it, absolutely right.

Till the application reached SPTL's Senior engineer OP Srivastav...

...he had taken 2 month's leave due to his hean conditions.

Hean condition? Really? Show me?

Here his leave application and medical repons.

Show me.

It's correct.

Take a look, madam.

And here's the ADHOC

...and appointment letter of DD Tiwari who filled in his position, your honor.

If the work stops because of hean conditions...

...l could've never presented my case in front of Ms. Gulnar.

(Laughter)

You honor, the Regulatory Committee had issued a memo to Mr. DD Tiwari

...regarding the pending work.

WOW!

The price of a life is a memo. Nice.

And your honor, if you go through the application carefully...

...you will find many columns incomplete which is SM Tripathi's mistake.

Not big enough to give up his life, madam.

And since we're talking about mistakes, can you please look here.

If any person, or consumer, wants to file a complaint with the SPTL, then...

Madam, can you please help me.

1...2...3...

...4...5...6...7...8 page complaint form needs to be filled.

So when such an educated, capable,

...and beautiful Ms. Gulnar can forget to put in the date...

...then poor Mr. Tripathi can definitely forget to put in the pin-code.

Isn't it, your honor?

And this pin-code, which has created this stir...

...l would like to call the SPTL in-charge from the same pin code,

meaning the Selaqui industrial District.

You see, the substation assigned to Selaqui industrial area is

5 kilometers away from the site.

I see.

So power trips are normal due to the weather and natural disasters.

All the other time electricity supply is normal.

I have a question, Mr. Shashtri, the Selaqui Industrial was built in 1999? Right?

Right.

What was the power requirement back then?

Around 22 Mega Watt.

22 Mega Watt. Bravo.

And around 426 new factories have come up in Selaqui area in 18 years.

But the substation still supplies 22 Megawatt.

In simple language, your honor.

The demand is more, but not the supply.

Progress and Welfare, Ms. Gulnar.

Where are they?

That's all your honor

Your honor, my next witness is...

Pandar Prasad from Shaktiman Biscuits from Selaqui area.

Ur kucchi, Mur kucchi looks like you have done your research.

Are you saying something, Mr. Pant?

Nothing. Nothing.

Your honor.

The power keeps tripping, madam. But we don't bother.

But the SPTL's infra...

- What was that word? - Infrastructure.

Yes, that.

It's the best.

And whenever we got a huge bill, we always paid.

But don't trust this lawyer, madam.

He's a crafty, cunning, and shrewd lawyer.

Why you...

- Objection your honor... - Sustained.

Please answer only the questions you are asked.

- This man sells fake biscuits himself, your honor. - You're a bloody fake...

Objection your honor...

I curse you that you get stung by a scorpion.

You'll keep scratching yourself until you die.

Objection.

The prosecution is confusing the coun with petty arguments

and shifting the focus from the main agenda...

...and wasting the courfs time.

He is your witness, after all, Ms. Gulnar.

And you're absolutely right.

This case is about a petty printing press...

...and its minor 5.4 million electricity bill,

because of which an invaluable life was lost.

What difference does that make, right?

All out.

The coun is adjourned until 11 am tomorrow.

Ya right, six on the last ball.

Upreti, pass me the glass of water.

Sunder Mohan Tripathi case gains momentum.

Both lawyers get into a heated argument on the first day.

According to recent news, the residents of Mohammed Sadiqpur village in Uttar Pradesh...

...staged a demonstration outside Muradabad Power station.

Their demand is to connect their village with the National Electricity Grid.

People staged a demonstration outside Maharashtra's

Electricity company Relite in Raigad, Maharashtra.

The spark in Uttarakhand has bloomed into fire...

...as three session courts give judgment in favor of the consumer.

I spent my life paying the huge electricity bills.

Finally, someone's fighting against it, and I can see hope again.

They assured us that we'll get power connection, but no one ever showed up.

Even after buying a home we've been living in the dark because of SPTL.

Electricity bulbs piling up outside electricity offices all over the country.

The common man is now openly saying...

"l have a complaint."

In the coming days, we will see whether Lawyer SK Pant...

...is able to win the war he staned against SPTL to get justice

for his childhood friend Sunder Monhan Tripathi.

Will the fused bulb's revolution...

...unravel the dirty secrets of the electricity companies?

(News reponing)

Your honor, the opposition believes that...

...their client Sunder Mohan committed suicide.

But the truth is that he committed suicide to claim insurance money.

And to prove my point, I would like to call upon Mr. Bhagwat Upadhyay...

...an employee of Jeevan Insurance Corporation's Disbursement Department.

Mr. Bhagwat, when did you learn of Mr. Sunder Mohan Tripathi's death?

I found out on the 11th of December.

And we immediately started the process for the disbursement of the Insurance claim.

But only when we attended his mourning, did we learn that it wasn't an accident...

- ...it was suicide. - And how did you find that out?

From his friend, or maybe his future fiance Lalita Nautiyal.

She announced it in front of the Police.

Thank you.

So it's pretty clear, your honor.

Sunder Mohan Tripathi took a calculated step...

...so that after his death, the insurance money could be used to pay his debts.

But the suicide angle foiled his plans.

WOW!

Those are pretty nice sandals, Rizvi ma'am.

Excuse me

- Did you buy it on the online Sale? - Objection, your honor.

Sustained.

If you feel like going shopping then why don't we take a shon break?

No, your honor, but you see my client lost his life because of the bill...

...but she is talking about the insurance.

So I thought why don't I discuss her sandals instead.

(laughter)

Order. Order.

Right!

The message is quite clearly shown on TV, your honor.

Insurance is a subject matter of solicitation.

Please read the offer documents carefully before...

Investing.

Order.

My client Sunder Mohan Tripathi wasn't stupid enough to know this.

Your honor, as soon as Tripathi family filed the insurance claim on 14th December...

...Mr. Pant filed a case against SPTL on the 15th

...because the Insurance Company had refused to give any compensation.

Objection, your honor.

If Gulnar madam is going to give judgment...

...then what are you and me doing here?

Sustained.

It was just a coincidence.

Sunder wanted to register a complaint since November.

For which Mr. Pant refused him.

Your honor, my next witness is Mr. Sushil Kumar Pant.

You want to call Mr. Pant to the witness box.

Your honor, as the deceaseds friend he's an imponant witness.

0K8'!-

The coun has no objection if he doesn't.

I don't mind, your honor.

Come.

And tell me about the shoes.

- Mr. Pant, aka SK. - Yes, Gullu.

Isn't that what your friends call you?

What happened in November when they came to you?

What happened?

We had lunch, small chat, and we all went home.

I would've told you in more detail if you were my friend.

What kind of friend?

Like Sunder or like Lalita?

Your friend.

Meaning.

What's the difference between them, Ms. Gulnar?

Your honor, there was tension between Sunder, SK, and Lalita...

due to personal relationships.

Which is why SK refused to help them...

...nor called them in the last two months.

When the met for the last time in Mussoorie in a hilltop restaurant...

...they even got into a heated argument.

Objection, your honor.

Ms. Gulnar is deviating from the case again.

I am coming to the case now, your honor.

The personal tension was a motive for suicide.

Overruled.

Thank you, your honor.

But this objection has struck a chord.

So I would like to call upon the other end of this chord,

meaning Lalita Nautiyal.

What was your relationship with Sunder?

He was my friend.

Childhood friend.

But Mr. Bhagwat claims you were his fiance.

Now you're speaking our language, huh.

Language is a pan of people's identitymNauti.

Isn't that how SK and Sunder addressed you?

How could you decide in a week, Lalita, that you liked Sunder and not SK?

Objection, your honor. How is this connected to the case?

Overruled.

Personal life is a vital reason for suicide in this case.

Please continue.

Yes.

- Sunder was a blockhead. - Blockhead?

Stupid, Gullu. Stupid.

I see.

He didn't know the ways of the world.

So you never like Mr. Panfs shrewdness from the beginning.

That's not what I said.

But that's what you wanted to say.

Objection, your honor.

Ms. Gulnar is God, and she knows what one wants to say.

Sustained.

Defense, please come to the point.

Sorry, your honor.

The point here is 'motive'.

Sunder, Sushil, and Lalita were childhood friends.

Friendship turned to love.

And love turned to jealousy.

And this jealousy was the reason why SK distanced himself from Sunder and Lalita...

...and he didn't help his friends.

And he's trying to cleanse his sins here...

...and blaming the SPTL. That's all, your honor.

This is absolutely wrong.

We weren't like you said we were.

We were willing to risk our lives for each other.

He would never give up his life because of us.

Please answer only the question you are being asked, Ms. Lalita.

- Mr. Pant, any question. - Of course.

"And then Rakesh pulled Sunita towards him."

"A pan of her saree got tangled in the rose bushes."

Where did you get that?

There's more, your honor.

Where did you get that?

"And before their lips could converge, the door opened with a thud and they saw..."

"...Surrender was standing there and his eyes had turned red."

(Laughter)

Sorry, your honor. Sorry.

I am a lawyer after all, and the clue has come to me.

Take a look.

The inspiration for Ms. Gulnar's story.

"Sadhu, Sarita, And...Sex."

Order.

What's going on...

What's going on in my court?

Please come in front and say what you want to say.

Sorry, your honor.

Personal issues were never above the bill of 5.4 million.

And every other discussion going on here like the insurance claim, personal life...

...is just to waste the courfs time.

This might just be a case for you, madam.

But for us, this is a fight, for hope.

The reason is SPTL, and I will prove it.

That's all, your honor.

This has been the biggest challenge for Sunrise Power Technologies until now.

Seeing the reputation of the company in danger...

...the owner Sanjay Bhadoria has flown down all the way from Delhi.

Today morning, after enduring 8-10 hours of power-cut...

...the residents of Selaqui staged a protest on Highway no. 72.

Everyone has high hopes with this case.

Is death the only thing that can shake an entire system?

Corporate Company or the Government? Who is responsible?

Back. Back. Stay back.

I said stay back. Back.

Come, sir.

Your honor, the Small-scale industry subsidy

was never included in the UK Prints and packagings electricity bill.

Without a proper application, how would we know

mwhether it was a small-scale industry or large? Right?

Since the demand for medicines of Migalex company went down...

...we had fewer orders of printing and packaging as well.

But the electricity bill kept increasing.

Who knows what went down there?

Tomorrow they will claim that they never had any orders, and will we believe them?

The owner of SPTL is responsible, no one else.

He's the reason my son...lost his life.

And now I would like to call upon the owner of SPTL, Mr. Sanjay Bhadoria...

...who had to spare some time from his busy schedule...

...and come down in his helicopter.

Mr. Bhadoria, when this case was actually about a faulty meter...

...then it could've been resolved by changing the meter.

But why did SPTL install a check-meter instead of a new meter?

Maybe because SPTL has shortage of 500,000 meters?

Your honor, a reputed electricity company has a shortage of meters.

According to the Regulatory Commission's rule, any Electric company...

...must have 200,000 meters in stock, always.

But that's too farfetched. They have a shonage.

Your honor, maybe the lawyer doesn't know that our sector is a loss-making sector.

In fact, we're trying to bring our losses down to 14% by 2020.

And, I would like to explain the reason for these losses to the court

Miss Gulnar, please.

Your honor, Uttarakhand has the most number of illegal electricity...

...connections in the country.

Can you see those wires?

Mr. Pant, if you look closely...

...then you'll see similar wires in your neighborhood as well.

We work 24 hours for these people...

...and if they steal from us, who do we go to?

(crying)

So sorry.

This poor man's story brought tears to my eyes.

(Laughter)

Order. Order. Order.

Not owing to the fact, your honor...

...that he gives free electricity connection to 800 SPTL employees.

A poor man doesn't even have an electricity connection...

...but the staff gets free electricity.

Anyway...

I have a question, out of the 2500 complaints which poor SPTL receives every day...

...how many reach you?

We have a grievance depanment.

And a complaint platform appointed the government.

And a regulatory commission.

And above all, our talented employees...

I would like to show you how one of the talented,

and capable employees of your company...

...handled this case. Even we deserve to show a video.

Watch carefully, Ms. Gulnar. This is for you.

Upreti.

"L've already fixed a price for you."

"One million."

"l might sound out of place, sir, but inflation is on the rise."

"Plus the GST."

"So you can definitely increase my share from 2% to 4%."

"Eat as much as you can digest Mr. Pant."

"Okay, two million."

"That's enough for bread and butter..."

"...but sometimes I like to have this imponed lollypop too."

"Please.

2.5 million, final."

Put an end to this matter.

If your company had bought 200,000 meters instead...

...of trying to buy out this lawyer...

...then, it would've never come to this.

I heard that your father passed away last month.

It was sad to hear.

- How do you know? - What are you saying, sir?

Dainik Jagran, Bhaskar, Hindustan,

...and all other reputed newspapers had his obituary.

But you didn't give a classified in Prabhat Chingari. Why so?

Because that's my personal matter.

And anyway, no one reads that newspaper.

Bravo.

No one reads Prabhat Chingari.

But when SPTL has to put a classified for tariffs...

...they choose Prabhat Chingari to do so.

One last question.

That small light which keeps burning inside the meter all the time,

...what is that for?

Our company's meters are only manufactured by reputed companies...

...like DR, Renues.

- And sometimes the consumers... - That light is for keeping the consumers in the dark.

Objection, your honor. A direct attack, no proof.

How much can one earn with that small light?

Sustained.

Mr. Bhadoria will answer this question as well.

So how much does the consumer have to pay every...

...day for that small light, Mr. Bhadoria?

Around a penny, or less.

A penny, every day.

40 million consumers.

So how much is that?

I am sure you can calculate the zeros better than us.

So how much did you make in a month?

And, how much did SPTL make in a year?

730 million, from a small light, which no one needs.

Great.

This is truly amazing, your honor.

A loss-making company makes 730 million in profits from a stupid little light...

...but they don't have 1000 rupees to replace a faulty meter.

Even if someone gives their life for it.

Now neither Mr. Bhadoria has anything left to say...

...nor does Ms. Gulnar have anymore white lies.

This case...is as clear as water, your honor.

That's all.

(Applause)

Bravo, son. Bravo!

Order. Order. Order.

Order. Order. Order.

Lawyer SK Pant grilled SPTL chief Mr. Bhadoria in the coun today.

And raised some pertinent questions.

Is he poised to win?

The common people have high hopes with the Sunder Mohan case.

The people troubled by electricity issues have their eyes set on...

...the courfs judgment.

(Crowd protesting) Shame on SPTL

I accept defeat, in this case, your honor.

I've only presented the facts in this case, and even today I will do so.

The biggest truth of this case, my last witness.

Sit down. Sit down.

This was just a fraud.

Closing statement, your honor.

SPTL doesn't just play an active pan in the country's progress...

...in fact, they are also dedicated towards the future and the welfare of the people.

Sunder Mohan Tripathi should be punished severely...

...for wasting the courfs time and defaming SPTL,

...so that no one can dare to do this again.

That's all, your honor.

Mr. Sunder Mohan Tripathi, do you have anything to say.

Every1hing she said is true, your honor.

Except for one.

I am not a fraud.

I did jump along with my scooter.

But the river Ganga cleansed my sins and threw me back on the shore.

Your honor, when I emerged, I realized that I was the only one who jumped.

But there are many others who were drowning like me.

I could've won this case, collected the compensation and lived a life of anonymity.

But...

...finally this morning I mustered courage and went to meet SK.

Damn you.. Tripathi's ghost.

I don't want hug you.

I want to punch you in the face.

I thought you were confirming whether I am really alive or is this my soul.

And you finally decided to come back, rascal

...when we thought we'll have to spend a lifetime without you.

Honestly speaking, I tried really hard...

...but your love didn't let me die.

Bloody as**** all this for a bill.

Hmm?

If I hadn't made that Chits for your math exam,

would you have still have jumped in the river?

If I hadn't taught you how to ride a moped,

...would you have still have jumped in the river?

If few petty goons had threatened,

would you have still have jumped in the river?

But I refused to help you once, and you actually jumped in.

Your father calls you a coward.

I am a coward.

And many others like me.

SK, we are the helpless lot.

We need a leader.

Like you're fighting for us, and everyone else joined in.

Now everyone wants a solution.

Otherwise, they would tuck the bill in a box,

and pay even if they had to sell their house for it.

We...we don't fight.

Not because we're scared to fight.

We're scared of losing, SK.

I was too scared, my friend.

But not anymore.

I am not scared of anything now.

That's why I am here.

Did anyone see you while coming here?

Did you meet anyone on the way?

Just hide in this room quietly.

Once the judgment arrives on this case, then we'll decide what to do.

I'll get you something to eat.

Sushil Kumar Pant.

My death gave your actions the right direction.

And now when I am alive, you're going back to your old ways?

I am just an ordinary citizen of this country, your honor...

...who couldn't find a solution to his electricity bill.

These days everyone pays their bill through the internet.

Your honor, I believe in peace more than revolution.

A person who's scared of the coun.

Someone who finds an easy way.

And someone who always follows the rules and regulations.

But today I am not sad about losing this case.

I am happy that things will change.

Did you see what happened all over the country when my friend took up this case?

And your honor, it's true that I tried to commit suicide...

...because I was troubled by the 5.4 million electricity bill...

...and to claim the insurance money.

So that my family could get the compensation.

And now when this matter is out in the open...

...l want every person in this country to buy insurance.

So that they can commit suicide and pay their bill.

That's the future we're heading towards, your honor.

Great days.

Sorry, your honor, I tried my best but couldn't die.

You can punish me in any way you want,

Objection, your honor.

The truth is right before us, so why are we listening to this lecture?

Overruled. The coun hasn't given it's judgment yet.

And Ms. Gulnar, please don't try to teach me my job.

Yes, ma'am.

The coun will give its verdict after a 15-minute recess.

Maybe Vikas and Kalyan (Progress and Welfare) are Ms. Gulnar's friends,

...but I don't know any of them.

The cities are getting flyovers, metros, sea-links, but they are not ready yet.

Small cities are getting new roads, but they are not ready yet.

These huge, ugly, looking poles are everywhere...

...but darkness still prevails.

We should burn them on the cross on Diwali.

Maybe that will spread some light.

On paper, there's electricity in 96% of the country...

...but there 31 million homes are still devoid of electricity.

You should give your verdict in the dark, your honor, because

we're not used to the light...

...because their fake promises and deception have definitely startled us.

Because we're used to the dark.

I don't know about Vikas and Kalyan, your honor.

You must have heard about the Gangoli Ghat Village.

Last week the entire village was vacated.

Even after 71 years of independence,

there are 8.5 million villages like Gangoli Ghat and Mohammed Sadiqpur...

...which have never been connected to India's Central Electricity grid.

People from Mumbai Delhi read this news in the newspaper and say...

...what can we do, this is the government's job.

But if these people can turn off the electricity

...of their malls and showrooms for one night, your honor...

...that 23 villages of Uttarakhand can get electricity for a week.

If they can turn off one light while leaving the room...

...then, those who study under lanterns

...can study under the bulb for the full night, your honor. - My Lord

You have already won, Ms. Gulnar. I am just venting my anger.

This case will be over today, tomorrow you'll be sitting in your home.

You'll have the privilege of turning off the light switch...

...but the people of Selaqui in Uttarakhand

...won't even have a glass of water to drink.

The government's doing a lot of things, but unfonunately,

Uttarakhand is facing nature's fury.

Schemes are launched to lay underground electrical wires...

...but pretty soon the entire scheme goes underground.

Duty has been doubled, green cess has been added,

the tariff increased from 290/KVH to 320/KVH...

...SPTL consumers are on the verge of committing suicide,

but SPTL is still a loss-making company, your honor. Brilliant!

Uttarakhand has the capacity to produce 20,000 Megawatts.

But we could only get 18%.

So where are the so-called 'Vikas and Kalyan' (progress and welfare)?

We should get used to the darkness, your honor, because...

...we cannot usher in a revolution with a fused bulb.

That's all your honor.

(Applause)

Order.

Order.

Sit down. Sit down.

The coun sentences Sunder Mohan Tripathi to six months

imprisonment and imposes a fine of 40,000 rupees...

...for lying and attempted fraud with the Insurance company.

His bill of 5.4 million is cancelled.

For the mental torture caused by SPTL to Sunder Mohan Tripathi...

...due to faulty meter, insufficient subsidy, and baseless bills,

for that SPTL, will pay One million as compensation.

10 fast track courts will be appointed for the quick solutions of the consumers.

And SPTL will pay 50,000 as compensation to every troubled consumer.

Until then... SPTL's license is canceled.

(Applause)

Sunder Mohan Tripathi Vs SPTL's case will be considered as a milestone.

Now...the court can't handle every personal issue connected with electricity...

...but this is a beginning.

Case dismissed.

That was a close shave.

Vikas.

- Kalyan. - All okay?

0K8'!-

It was a ravine.

Don't be in deception,

...there is still time for Vikas (development) and Kalyan (Welfare) to reach us.

Power off, power off, power off, Power is off but meter is still on.

Power off, power off, power off, Power is off but meter is still on.

The nature played such a tune

Knaves alone reign in the kingdom of fools

Oh brother, even the potato is missing from the croquette,

The potato is missing,

Power is off but meter is still on

Power is off but meter is still on

It's the game of being in power

The tower of power is seen everywhere

But there is no power yet

The power meter is installed,

Which gave such a shock; That made me hung from a fan without power

Can someone please tell me, where do I pay this bill.. Pay this bill

Power is off but meter is still on.

Power is off but meter is still on.

Power is off but meter is still on.

Power is off but meter is still on.

The future is dependant on the power of generator.

Power is off but meter is still on.

Don't get shocked, my friend,

The future is dependant on the power of generator.

Power is off but meter is still on.

Don't get shocked, my friend, friend, friend!
