[CHEERFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, Chhutki.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Chhutki.

Hey Chhutki. Come here.

[CHHUTKI] Grandma, let me study please.

Dear.

I will give you Rs 10.

Can you please open my account in Swiss Bank?

Grandma, Swiss Bank is a bank and not a Facebook, Insta,

where you can open a free account.

Here. Here I don't get "likes".

So, what can I do for that? You buy some "likes".

What will I do with the "likes"?

If I die?

What is this "New India"?

[JAMILA] In our village, New India was a circus company.

When it will come here, we will show you.

Amma, why do you talk so absurd early in the morning?

Hello?

A new recipe has appeared on my phone.

Why don't you cook something different?

My brain has stopped working, eating the same kind of food everyday.

[JAMILA] Amma, your stopped brain runs so fast,

what will happen if it starts working?

[RELAXING MUSIC PLAYING]

Hello, Ramesh.

[RAMESH] Yes, Amma.

What is the meaning?

In five years...

India...

trillion economy.

Amma, don't use your brain extra,

otherwise you will become Newton.

[AMMA] Huh?

Okay, I will explain.

You keep money in the bank in a fixed term deposit.

You don't do anything,

but it becomes double in five years. Right?

India will become a 5 trillion economy.

You and me don't have to work for it.

[UTTERS INDISTINCTLY]

You are so knowledgeable.

Then why don't you do some better work?

Why you do this barber work?

Amma, don't be extra emotional.

Keeping a beard and cutting it gives many benefits.

[AMMA CHUCKLES]

Hello.

Where is Mr. Gurudev's house?

Let me tell you.

Go straight, then go to "buyen" side,

and then you reach there after 200 meters.

"Buyen, " meaning?

Means the hand at the side of the hand

next to the hand which you use to eat food.

Thank you.

[AMMA] Hey, Gurudev.

Has any scandal happened in the village?

This girl looks like a CBI officer.

Amma, eat a paan. At least your mouth will be shut.

You don't worry.

I am not going to die so soon.

Okay.

Gurudev-ji.

[RAM] Who are you seeking in this deserted village?

Your tareef?

"Tareef" means?

"Tareef" means name, address, et cetera. You look like a city-dweller.

I am trying to find Mr. Gurudev's house.

Sound can not pass through closed doors and close-minded people.

There are so many Gurudevs in this village that even God gets identities confused.

He orders one Gurudev to heaven, another Gurudev gets dispatched instead.

By the way, who directed you here?

[ANA] It's very quiet here.

Village is very nice. It's neat and clean here!

Hey, Allah Ram!

Grandma, my name is Ram Jivan.

Nowadays, names are dividing the society.

What is there in the name? All gods are the same.

Are you going to break my neck?

Don't worry, Guru brother, nothing will happen.

Be careful.

[AMMA] Hello, dear.

Why are you standing there? Come here.

Come sit over here.

Chhutki. Get a glass of water.

You must be tired.

What are you seeking here?

I came here to meet Gurudev-ji.

He is my uncle.

We have dozens of Gurudevs in our village.

Hey, Ramesh and you.

Gather up all the Gurudevs. She will recognize the one.

What is there in the jeep?

Those are books.

Books?

Yes. My dad's books.

I want to open a library in the village.

What a noble gesture!

What is your father's name?

Sumangal Sharma.

[AMMA] Must have...

She must have come to take their property.

I know this.

Yes. Her father must have sent her here.

Amma, calm down.

She might be here for other reasons.

For over 30 years, he cut himself off from us.

He is greedy for the property, that's why he sent the daughter.

I know how his mind works! He is my son.

Amma, he is our blood.

What blood?

He never inquired as to whether I was dead or alive!

I did not mean it...

when I told him he would see me dead if he returned.

I had not spoken from the heart.

He could have come here.

Had he hugged me...

I would have pardoned him.

He always thought about you all.

Papa was just too stubborn.

Brother never returned.

We later discovered that he married outside of our religion.

Amma never stopped missing him.

I messaged him many times...

but he never came.

He always used to say...

he would go and settle in the village.

He shared with us many wonderful childhood stories.

We did not get any information.

What happened to him?

He woke up one morning.

He had a cup of tea...

and spoke his wish to start...

a library with his books in his house in the village.

And suddenly...

heart attack.

Sister, bathing a buffalo is very hard work.

Anything is possible if you don't give up.

Sister, you mentioned you had visited America?

Yes, for studies.

When did you go there?

After completing school,

I went there for graduation and Master's degree.

Sister, can I also go to America?

Why not?

Almost anyone can go there. But...

now India also has very good colleges.

You are correct.

Yesterday, we heard on the news

that a fan fell from the ceiling in a college classroom.

Two to three students' head got injured.

Do fans also fall in America?

Sister, you have got so many books for the village.

-Can I read some? -Yes.

There are many types of books.

Both for children and for adults.

But there is a problem, sister.

Where will you store the books?

Keep the books in father's old house.

We will clean the house

and will build some shelves for the books.

What happened? Why have you become quiet all of a sudden?

It's nothing, sister. Nothing.

[AMMA] Chhutki.

Yes, Grandma.

Tell your mother to make a foam coffee for me.

Okay, Grandma.

-You are back. -Yes, papa.

Will you have one?

What, Amma?

Coffee with foam.

Dalgona coffee.

Ana.

Your intention is very good.

When a library is opened

in brother's memory in our village,

it will be a proud moment for all of us.

Am I right, mother?

It will benefit many, especially children.

But we have one problem.

Brother's house is under "kabza"

by the village council leader.

What is "kabza"?

When politicians start shitting on others' property,

that is called "kabza. "

Chhutki.

Get some paan for Amma.

Please keep quiet some time.

We have our property papers.

How can he grab our land?

What difference does this make?

Politicians are experts at doing illegal activities. [CHUCKLES]

Amma, how many paan should I get for you?

[INSECT BUZZING]

Inflation in the daytime and mosquitoes bite us at night.

Whatever remains is...

sucked out by the politicians.

Nothing good can happen in this country.

Amma.

Now do something for the mosquitoes.

Do they bite like this every day?

No, no.

They take a break on weekends.

Amma, you can speak English too.

Where did you learn?

WhatsApp.

Every day,

I get messages like "good day, " "good morning, " "good night. "

They don't know, mosquitoes eat Goodknight here.

Dear.

Are you awake?

Please lend me some data on credit.

I will return it tomorrow.

[BUFFALO BELLOWING]

Sister, just by thinking, nothing can happen.

America bullies everywhere.

They must have taught you too.

Sister, to control a buffalo, you must clutch its horns.

[MAN] Big Boss,

you look dashing with a salt-and-pepper mustache.

I say, this time you should run in the state assembly election.

Once you win, we jobless can also get some benefits.

We will also make money alongside with you.

Who is this new chap?

Big Boss, he is MBA.

He did not get any job in the city so he came back to the village.

His name is Parsant Kumar.

We can make him our political advisor.

Okay. He is P. K.

No, no, Big Boss. He is not P. K.

-MBA. He is MBA-educated. -I understand it.

Don't try to teach me.

Tell me.

What is the news of the village?

Big Boss, all is well,

but a white-skinned girl has come to the village.

White-skinned girl?

Has our village come on the world tourism map?

What do you call that?

From city-- Yes, foreigners come to see the village environment,

how people live...

-What do you call that? Yes. Yes. -Rural Homestay.

Big Boss, I also went to a rural homestay near our Bhopal city.

Those people on Facebook

posted pictures of millets bread and eggplant.

Two to three people stared at my food plate

as if they were looking at a tiger.

They garnished jaggery in the food plate like a costly sweet item.

Big Boss, I advise that you also start a Rural Homestay business.

-Is this a new kind of a business? -Yes.

It will be very profitable.

Big Boss.

With this mustache, you look very debonair.

What a compliment, Baldy.

So much buttering. Has butter become cheaper?

Since morning, so much praise for my mustache.

Big Boss.

Since long, we feel suffocated, because it's almost a week,

we have not had any chicken.

With your kind grace, under cold sunlight of this winter

under the tree, some...

Some food and fun...

Enjoy.

Get the chickens which are fed with government feed.

-Yes. -Those are very tasty.

You all here so early in the morning? Go do some work.

Sister-in-law. We are going to swim in the sacred river.

Today is very auspicious day. We will receive holy blessings.

God knows what we will be in the next incarnation!

Judging by your deeds,

you three will reincarnate as chickens.

[LAUGHING]

Take your brother along for the dip.

Let him receive blessings too.

Wow.

You are new to the village?

One needs courage to live in the village.

Once upon a time, every city was a village.

Wow, she has a point.

Tell me about yourself and how I can help you.

I am the daughter of Sumangal Sharma.

I have arrived here from Delhi.

You are changing the map of the country.

What?

No, no. Cancer.

My zodiac sign is Cancer.

"What" means I didn't understand.

I will explain it to you.

I failed school during 8th grade and so I joined politics.

There was no need for further education

since people were already voting for us.

Now, the country is prospering, so where is the need for education?

I want my house back,

which you have captured illegally.

No. That is wrong. I find this kind of talk offensive.

You father's name is Mangal.

My father's name is also Mangal.

So every Mangal's land can't be yours.

My father's name is Mangal Sharma

and your father is Mangal Singh.

Right? This is written on the property's title deed.

So what?

Your father has not visited the village in 30 years.

See the buffaloes,

visit a pond and agriculture farms.

Eat sizzling millet bread made in village-style

and post photos on Facebook, Instagram.

Right. Why are you getting involved in this fuss?

You are getting into trouble.

Big Boss has captured many peoples' land.

He is very powerful.

You come here.

Come quickly.

I am a servant of the society.

You are sullying my reputation. In politics, I serve people.

By capturing land?

Look.

I respect women a lot.

So please, speak nicely to me. I don't do land-grabbing.

Tea? Okay, serve them.

You look at the other side.

Veil.

Veil.

Listen.

You changed since seeing this white-skinned girl.

Do you have any concern for my reputation?

Go inside!

I deeply respect my wife.

My dear, rude people don't understand soft language.

One can still deal with rude people, but he is a politician.

Then you forget to open your book shop.

We will fight legally and file a case in court.

My dear.

A sapling grows into a big tree...

30 to 40 years later.

You cut and make furniture...

to be enjoyed by three or four generations of the family.

Meanwhile, an Indian court case is still unresolved.

Then what should we do?

Do you know what Gandhi-ji said?

A fight which can't be won by power,

must be won by agitation.

[CHHUTKI OVER SPEAKER] Leave our land! End illegal occupation!

Leave our land!

Big Boss, they are creating ruckus in the village by sloganeering.

I am trying to find a solution.

Please be careful.

Big Boss, please don't get electrocuted.

Shut your bloody mouth!

By setting off firecrackers,

you don't make an impact of an atomic bomb.

Stop showing off your education and knowledge.

I am telling-- Give some solution.

They are disgracing my disrespect with all this sloganeering.

Tell me how I can short-circuit the electricity in the area.

-It's very easy. -Okay. Tell me.

You end illegal occupation of their land.

Has your father given me land in dowry?

Return their land...

I have worked hard to capture their land and you are advising to leave it.

Please. Please listen, Sudha.

Listen to me.

In college, they must have taught you how to short-circuit electricity.

My brain short-circuited when I got married to you.

[MEN SNICKERING]

Keep quiet!

Sister-in-law, please understand our emotions.

It's a matter of prestige for Big Boss.

You are the village council head, so your prestige is also at stake.

Okay. Place a wet bed sheet over the electric lines.

-[MAN] Okay, let's do this. -Shut up.

A Hindu religious program is happening in the village.

If electricity goes off,

people will create riots in the other area.

It's my bad luck today.

God knows whose face I saw in the morning.

[CHHUTKI] Gandhi-ji. Our beloved father of the nation.

He responded to atrocities with non-violence.

Using truth as a shield,

he forced the Britishers to leave India.

Gandhi-ji said that the soul of India resides in villages.

Can we forget him?

Never.

Gandhi-ji is an ideology.

It can never be eliminated.

So today, working according to Gandhi-ji's ideals,

we will free our land.

Free our land!

[ALL CHANTING] Leave illegal occupation!

Free our land!

Leave illegal occupation!

Free our land!

Leave illegal occupation!

See...

I understand your problem.

We all want the library to be set up.

But you must have patience.

Village children and elders should read the books.

I sincerely want this.

Big Boss is a big-hearted person. He is one in a million.

He shines like a diamond in the daytime.

Also shines in the night if there is light.

Blinking star in the dark night.

Wow.

-Do you want to get slapped? -Understood, Big Boss.

Okay.

I have found the solution.

I will tell you where the library should be.

Library should be in the village council school building.

As God looks great in the temples,

similarly, books will look good in the closed cupboards of the school.

Now you tell me

how this small child can carry books on his back.

Tell me?

He himself is the size of a book.

Right.

That's why I am saying.

This is the solution.

The library will be opened in the school.

[CHANTING] Ana sister, live long! Ana sister, live long!

Big Boss, live long! Big Boss, live long! Big Boss, live long!

Sister, I sense something is not right.

We just want to open a library.

It is better in the school.

Children can easily access.

Can take books home as well.

How come the husband of the head of the village council

got scared with sloganeering so quickly?

Sister, I am having some confusion

or something similar to confusion.

The okra is nicely cooked.

Hey, Guru.

Why is Facebook not working?

Amma, day and night it consumes data.

-Data must have been finished. -Okay.

Hey, Chhutki.

Lend me some data on credit. I will return it tomorrow.

Amma, your eyes will become spoiled.

Sometimes, look outside of the window.

Do you think Taj Mahal is visible from our window?

-Amma. -Yes.

She will connect after dinner.

She will eat for hours.

Now is the right time to post.

Maximum "likes" come this time.

Grandma, you can connect to my phone.

You are so nice, dear.

Tell me one thing.

Is American data better than Indian data?

Ana.

Raj Narayan agreed so easily.

I can't believe it.

But you just want to open a library.

So our problem is solved.

Now, father's wish will be fulfilled.

He always wanted to set up a library in the village.

-Amma. -Amma.

What happened Amma? Kusum, come fast.

-Amma, get up. -Amma.

-Amma. -Amma.

[AMMA] What are you watching?

A movie.

[AMMA CHUCKLES]

Your father also liked to watch movies.

Really?

He never used to watch films.

Once it happened.

He stole money from my purse and went to watch a movie.

Yes.

And later you tied him to a tree and beat him nicely.

Did he tell you this?

He had a hobby for kite-flying too.

One day...

he had flown the kite for so long

that he had gotten a deep cut on his finger.

And he took the exam next day with an injured finger

and scored the highest grade in the class.

My son was very brilliant.

Ana. Let's go.

Yes.

Wait, wait, wait.

-Selfie. -Amma's selfie.

She is very happy.

[CHATTERING AND SHOUTING NEARBY]

Hello.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Please come. -Come, Ana.

Thinking about the development of the village

is a very holy feeling.

Young people like you are the only hope.

Yesterday, I came to know of your noble plans

from Raj Narayan Big Boss.

Okay.

I want to convert my father's book collection

into a library for the village.

Look. Material wealth, like land or houses, properties,

is an illusion.

Everyone's God is the same.

Our duty is our true wealth.

Okay.

Where can we house the books? A library must be here.

Nowadays, children are so busy on Facebook, Instagram, Internet.

Where do they have the time to even look at the books?

Nowadays, books are only for termites.

I don't understand.

See...

there are two ways we get books.

One through tender,

and the second, from donors like you.

Master, sir, some of these books are on literature for adults.

And for children, some are interesting story and poetry books.

That is all okay.

Hello, Ram Singh.

Ram Singh.

Where have you disappeared?

At least bring some tea and snacks, or anything!

We have guests here.

I think he has gone to grind the wheat.

Wheat flour is finished at my home.

Feeding the stomach and education have a lifelong relationship.

One gentleman came to us.

For school room...

he wanted to donate building costs.

One permission letter came for him.

Where is it kept?

Hello, Ram Singh.

Yes, sir, tell me. What is the problem?

Difficult to understand this gentleman's dialect.

My dear, speak in some better style.

Okay.

Do you remember? There was a letter for a room construction in the school.

Where is it kept?

Master sir, I am not educated.

So how do I know? It must be lying somewhere.

At least in front of the visiting guest,

say that the letter is kept safely somewhere.

I am not educated.

Have you grinded the wheat?

Sir, there is no electricity, so it will take time.

Do uneducated people also work in a school?

Had he been educated,

then why would have he be working in the school?

Nowadays, education and jobs are divorced.

My dear Ram Singh, where is the letter?

Ah.

It was hiding here.

Nowadays, important things are not easily traceable.

You please write down while I read it out.

You will need all these NOCs

before you are able to donate books to the school.

NOC?

Yes.

"No Objection Certificate. "

I mean, "No Objection Certificate. "

Sir, If you can clarify, that would be good.

Okay. You note this down.

From following officers and departments,

NOC is compulsory.

Okay.

Write it.

-Okay. -Okay.

First, school principal, that's me.

Next, village council.

Police station.

-Police? -Yes.

What do the police have to do with the library?

It is very important to check

whether any anti-social element is donating books.

Were the donated books stolen?

Please note next. You have to write a lot.

Block administration officer.

Committee of Experts on Education.

Experts on Education?

Yes. This is the most important.

What should be taught to children and what should not be,

only adults should decide.

Nowadays books are of many ideologies.

Do you understand what I am telling you?

Okay.

Let's continue.

Next is...

Officer...

language expert.

Government-approved architect.

Country and town planner.

-Architect? -Yes.

What if the books' weight causes the school building to collapse?

Who will be responsible?

Books are very powerful.

Many governments are afraid of the books.

Do you understand what I am saying?

Never mind. You just keep on writing.

It will take at least eight to 10 days to get NOCs from these.

May what you say be coated in sugar.

If this happens as per your wish.

This gentleman waited two years for the NOCs.

By the time he got them,

he had departed to his heavenly abode.

Sometimes God is also very cruel. Anyway...

Continue writing.

Government work happens after a lot of checks and hammering.

You have to submit many other papers also.

He has given such a long list so the work never gets done.

Master himself failed 10th standard.

This idiot became a master by paying the bribe.

The principal showed us the government letter.

We need to get the NOC, irrespective of the time it takes.

By that time, termites will finish the books.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Big Boss.

The girl is very smart.

She is educated in America.

Plan your tactics carefully.

You, a 10th fail master, dare to advise me?

Did you tell her she must get NOC from the village council?

Yes I did, Big Boss.

Ah.

Who is my wife?

She is the village council head. All of India can sign off on the NOC,

but she won't, unless I permit her to.

Big Boss, these women are dangerous.

When two women form a secret pact to destroy their target,

even God does not know of this pact.

You don't worry, just enjoy this drink.

What is this, Big Boss?

-A "country" for a principal. -Yes.

At least you would have got some bigger brand.

-Okay, return it. -No, no. Please don't do this.

Please don't snatch the elixir of knowledge.

Listen, you "country" drinking principal.

Only uneducated people keep us alive. Do you understand?

Sir.

Hello, sir.

Sir.

Please give me a cigarette. I'm craving a smoke.

Shut up.

You bloody-- Shut up and sit down, otherwise I will slap you!

What is this?

Sir.

Sir, please listen to me.

Please arrest me and lock me up for two to three days.

If you want, I can increase the amount from Rs. 20K to Rs. 30K.

But please arrest me. I swear, it's very insulting now.

Okay.

I'll increase the amount to Rs. 40K.

Now even the newspaper has reported...

that uncontrolled betting racket is running in the town.

Now tell me, is it good?

I gave Rs. 10K to journalist to not report it.

Still, that lowly journalist reported it.

Is this not bad behavior?

Now, see...

Tomorrow, your name will also be dragged into it.

That the police are also involved in the betting racket.

This is harmful for both of us.

Then what is the solution?

Sir, it's very simple.

You arrest me and put me in police lockup for two days.

I will give you Rs. 40K.

Tomorrow, it will be all over the news

that the police administration acted swiftly and stopped betting rackets.

This will improve your image, public will be happy too,

and after coming out of the lockup,

I will start betting again.

If I get promoted in this wonderful plan

and get sent to a "dry" police station, what will I do?

No brother. Its too risky.

It's better to earn bread and butter dishonestly

than to earn only bread honestly.

Please try to understand.

At least for my reputation, put me in lockup for two days.

Okay.

If you say, then I double your weekly "gift amount. "

Be happy, sir.

Just manage it, sir.

[OFFICER] NOC. Hmm...

I will sign the NOC.

But the issue is, I am a junior officer.

So I must forward your application to my senior.

After all, he is the god of the district.

But the principal said we need NOC from the local police station.

Everything is the same.

Look.

The police station is in the district, district is in the state,

and state is in the country.

It is possible that tomorrow,

the senior police officer may forward your application to the Minister.

After all, it's democracy.

Everyone has the right to sign off.

How splendid.

This means we will just keep going around in circles.

No, no, madam. This is not like that.

Thing is that, greed can lead us astray.

Look at me.

I wanted to be a poet.

And now I am a baton-waving police officer.

-You can still write from where you sit. -But for writing, one has to be alive.

Anyway...

Look, you understand everything.

The issue is, there are many kinds of books.

Some are antisocial.

Some are anti-national.

It's possible that the senior police officer

may read some books before signing the NOC.

By the way, where are the books?

The books are in my jeep, outside.

Okay. What kind of books are these?

Crime, thriller, spy novels?

Or, how do you say it... ?

Yes. Light entertainment like Pulp Fiction.

No, no. Nothing like those types of books.

We have story and poetry books for children.

We have books about village authors.

Books on history and Gandhi-ji, and on many other good subjects.

Then you better forget it.

The thing is that, history is now being revised.

And about Gandhi-ji,

he is now revered only on currency notes in our pockets

or on his birth and death anniversary.

Okay. Do one thing.

Give the request letter to me.

I will forward it.

And yes, don't forget to write your mobile number.

It will be easier to communicate with you.

In India, it is not easy to donate books.

In the past, no one ever inspected a cow that was being donated.

Now, they even count the cow's teeth before accepting it.

God knows what will happen to my country.

It's easy to suppress dreams between pages of closed books.

Open books are very dangerous.

[CELL PHONE CHIMES]

-Hey, Chhutki. -Yes?

-Get my phone. -Okay, Amma.

Wow.

I got 50 "likes" on yesterday's photo.

Grandma, you have become famous.

Call me influencer. Influencer. Okay.

The way these people are talking,

I think we won't get NOC for two to four years.

My dear, you do one thing.

You...

You tweet to Prime Minister.

Your work will be done immediately.

Amma, still we have to visit 8 to 10 departments.

Let us try first.

This morning, it was announced in the online news

that next month, the village council election will be held.

I should run for the council head post.

Then I can get our work done.

No. No.

Don't get into politics.

Politics is meant for goons!

Amma, this is the problem with us.

Everyone is ready to criticize but no one is ready to work.

Sister. Please run for the election.

Win the election, get the library opened,

and then you resign.

Chhutki is right. Now, this is the trend in India.

Win the election while representing one party,

then resign,

join the defeated party and set up a new government.

Sister, you fight in this election. Please.

It will be lots of fun and then you stay back with us forever.

Ana, you should really fight this election.

But goons-- I mean political workers--

From where will we get them?

Without them, we cannot win.

Don't worry.

I will post tender for goons on Facebook.

Amma, tender is posted for the work.

Goons are also meant for the work.

Does it work?

So the school building is double or single-storied?

You should know this.

What?

You should know the school building details.

Okay. Let's find out from the principal.

Hello. Hello, sir.

Yes.

With your grace, all is well.

Yes. Everything is fine.

[PLASTER CRUMBLING]

Oh, God...

No, no, sir.

While talking with you...

plaster from the ceiling came crashing down.

What to do, sir?

These building contractors do third-class work.

Anyway...

You have sent one lady. Aaina.

My name is Ana.

Ana. Sorry. Yes.

She is saying her name is Ana.

She has come for some NOC work for the library.

Tell me, your school is double-story?

Okay. And where are classes held?

And on the first floor?

Middle.

Do you have any vacant room?

Okay.

Available on the first floor.

Okay, then.

I was telling, sir,

please convey my regards to your wife.

Last time she sent very tasty fenugreek sweets.

Please don't remind me of my misfortune. Just don't forget the sweets. Okay.

Putting down the phone. Okay. Okay. Bye.

You are very lucky.

On the first floor, there is one empty room.

But there is a problem.

See, the school building is 8 years old.

And the contractor who made this

has been to jail three to four times for poor quality work.

Who knows whether or not he had put cement iron in the building?

Only God knows.

Your department should have a Construction Inspection Report.

You check it.

It was there. Madam, report was there.

Inspection was done in my presence.

But when the office caught fire, all those reports were turned into ashes.

Now we can't bulldoze the building to check.

Anyway, the building will collapse within two to three years.

I mean, if it collapses.

If it collapses, then we will know. Right?

I am telling you that for issuing an NOC,

a Building Fitness Certificate is a must.

Look. Assume due to the weight of the books,

tomorrow the building collapses.

There would be small kids sitting under the roof.

Now tell me, how can I issue the NOC?

Madam, I would have issued NOC with some give-and-take, but...

tell me, post my retirement,

how will I bear the pain of loss of children's life?

What do you mean by give-and-take?

Madam...

I mean...

in your library project, there must be some provision

for giving some money, payment.

No? If not, it's okay.

I am in the forefront of social service.

Monthly I donate 50 rupees to charity.

Can I ask you one thing?

Yes. Yes. Please do.

Our only job is to reply.

Do you have children?

What?

If your own office is so poorly constructed,

then what quality are the public facilities you build?

No, no, madam.

Our job is only to check the quality.

The rest depends on the contractor.

How much he bribes at top,

accordingly he constructs building below.

This happens in inverse proportion.

Same like love and marriage.

Longer the duration of the marriage, lesser the love.

What happened, madam?

Please listen.

If you ever need my help, let me know.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]

Hello.

Who?

Connect me to Raj Narayan Big Boss.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES]

Hello.

Amma, have some food.

Should I get some food?

[NURSE] You don't worry. She will be fine.

Amma.

Grandma fell again.

This time she lost consciousness.

She regained consciousness a short while ago.

How is Amma now?

Doctor said we should get tests done immediately.

No doctor has come within the past three or four hours.

Who do we need to speak to here?

What? Three or four hours? Let me speak to them.

No, no.

Don't complain.

If we complain,

they will tell us to take her to a private hospital.

I tell you, in private hospitals, patients get in fully-clothed.

Then get discharged in their underwear.

They will snatch underwear if they have their way.

Big Boss,

I have instructed the doctor to diagnose her with cancer.

The family will go broke paying for treatment.

They won't remember what a library is.

They will have to pay off the treatment by selling the books.

[YELLS]

Are you trying to break my hand?

No, no, Big Boss.

-Hey, Baldy. -Yes.

Why have you stopped telling stories from there?

Big Boss, it's all women over there.

Even till last week, Gurudev Bhaiyya was roaming

as Rabindranath Tagore with a long beard.

-Whose hair should I cut over there? -Who is Tagore?

Big Boss, author of Gitanjali.

What is Gitanjali?

A Nobel Prize-winning book.

Books everywhere.

Are you going to throttle me?

Let me massage you nicely.

Big Boss, when one's neck is in other's hand,

one should not growl.

Really?

Who will feed us if Big Boss gets strangled?

You bloody lazy person.

Are you with me only to enjoy luxury at my expense?

Big Boss, who cares about educated youth like us?

When your economy grows,

then we should also have some rights to enjoy your wealth.

What is this economy?

Money. Big Boss money.

Money.

When India's economy grows,

the wealth of Girgit-Mangroo also grows.

Yes. Yes.

Who cares about the rest?

Absolutely right.

-Big Boss. -Yes?

Presently people are making milk from the curd.

Have medicine.

Guru, get my mobile recharged, dear.

Okay, Amma. I will get it done.

You take rest for three or four days.

Where is the rest?

Hey, Chhutki.

Chhutki.

Lend me some data on credit, okay? I want to check my Facebook.

What did the doctor say?

Luko Chhupo Miya.

Do I have cancer?

Why are you babbling nonsense without knowing anything?

Nothing has happened to you.

Amma, it's leukemia.

It's treatable.

You will be all right.

This name is very sweet.

Luko Chhupo Miya.

I will post a photo on Facebook, which I took in the hospital.

It will get 200 to 300 likes.

Chhutki, get one paan for Amma.

-Amma. -Yes?

Let's go to Delhi.

-I will get you chemotherapy there. -No, no, no, dear.

Lakhan's wife got this, and she lost all her hair.

What if I lose hair too?

Will I post my bald head photo on Facebook?

Amma.

-Amma. -Yes?

We will get a wig for you.

Dark black colored one.

Is it?

Dear, I am dying.

And you are making jokes.

I am dying.

Amma, may your enemies die.

This is the time to create some ruckus.

[JAMILA] Buy vegetables.

Auntie, come. Buy some vegetables.

Hello, Jamila.

Come here.

Hello, Amma-ji.

How are you?

Hope all is well.

I am okay, okay.

Where have you disappeared?

Amma, just like I was missing having tea with you.

Kusum, get two cups of tea.

[KUSUM] Okay.

Tell me, where have you gone?

I went to Mumbai.

Father has gone for the Hajj.

That's good.

One should go on a pilgrimage.

Now, I will not be able to go anywhere.

What? What are you saying, Amma?

I have to hear the song in your voice. What was that?

Yes.

"I am still young. "

Doctor has told me that I have cancer.

Luko Chhupo Miya.

No. No. Amma.

Doctors just scare us.

Otherwise, how will they do their business?

Nowadays we are hiding ourselves.

I'm telling you the truth, Amma. Nowadays we are very scared.

Of what?

Cancer?

No, Amma.

You still have treatment for the cancer.

Then what?

Some people are saying they will throw us out of the village.

How can they do this?

I will kick them on their butts.

Is this village their property?

Come to my house.

Amma, speak softly. The situation is different now.

Amma, tea.

[AMMA] Have the tea.

Salam, auntie.

Salam, my dear.

-I hope you are studying nicely. -Yes.

I warn you.

Study and go away from here.

Otherwise you have to do this kind of labor for your whole life, okay?

Yes.

Jamila.

Give me 1 kilogram of fresh okra and one bottle gourd.

Okay.

Wait.

First, take a selfie with me.

-There, like that. -Okay.

Below there.

Yes.

Hello.

She is my granddaughter.

She has studied in Armenia.

Do you know Armenia?

Yes, I know, Amma.

It is who makes everyone fight.

-Amma? -Yes?

Can I see what selfie you have clicked?

Nice.

Okay.

I'll click a pic of you both, okay?

Come close.

Here.

Ready?

Smile.

Smile.

[RAJ] Yes, chameleon. Tell.

-[MAN ON PHONE] Big Boss. Hello. -Hello.

Big Boss, the time has come to exchange old notes again.

Again demonetization?

Hey, God.

In new currency, you have shifted from here to there.

Will you disappear now, Gandhi-ji?

Big Boss, the time has come to earn illegitimate money.

What?

Has an election been declared?

Yes, Big Boss.

The election date has just been declared.

It's coming live on TV.

Chameleon, do one thing.

Book liquors and sweets in advance immediately.

-Okay? -Yes, Big Boss.

Sudha?

Sudha, darling?

Why this tight, loving hug?

Has an election been declared?

No, darling.

The season for earning money has come.

No. This time, I am not going to contest the election.

You make me sign papers higgledy-piggledy.

If something happens, only I will go to jail.

Nothing will happen. I'm here with you.

I have taken care of every person from top to bottom.

Listen. "Village council head" in front of a name

gives a different type of kick.

Okay, tell me what help do you want?

Tell me.

Should I cut a salad for you?

I am having pain in my arms.

Do you get pain in arms due to cleaning utensils?

I will get you a maid servant, right?

Use these beautiful hands only to canvass votes for me.

-[MEN CHANTING] Big Boss! -Live long!

Big Boss!

Live long!

Big Boss!

Live long!

Big Boss!

Big Boss will win!

[CHEERFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[RAJ] What is this, Sharma-ji?

I don't know what to do.

How can I place a donkey's photo alongside her photo?

Even I will be ashamed of asking for votes!

Big Boss, the issue is

that the election symbol distribution has a system.

This time you have been issued a donkey symbol.

I am unable to help you in this matter.

Please manage with the donkey.

Understand it.

I am saying

we can settle the matter with some under the table dealing.

If you want, I can send money to top bosses too.

Big Boss, please. Please try to understand.

Have I ever disturbed your work in normal time?

Tell me, have I ever?

Now, the election code of conduct is enforced.

And the election symbol of the donkey is in the limelight everywhere

due to media coverage.

Please understand. I won't be able to do anything this time.

I pray to God that our relationship remains on good terms.

My trucks are transporting the sand from the river bed.

Dumper. Sharma-ji, see that sand mining does not get disturbed.

You take special care of these.

Elections are very costly nowadays.

The villagers are expecting a lot from me.

It was different in the past when we could control the election

with liquor and blankets.

This is New India.

Last time I could win with distributing Chinese phones.

This time, I fear, voters may demand Apple phones.

-You are okay? -Yes, Grandma.

Chhukti, you freshen up while I come.

-Amma? -Yes?

We have a very good election symbol.

A pair of scissors. We will slash everyone.

But to win an election, money and resources are needed.

My dear,

tell me who has been the biggest leader in India to date?

-No one is bigger than Gandhi-ji. -Yes.

Gandhi-ji was able to agitate just by wearing one piece of cloth.

Okay? And without money.

You are right.

The youth of our village who go to college,

farmers, laborers, the unemployed, everyone is with us.

Now we just need to convince the village elders.

We will convince villagers that we will build a new school,

water tanks, medical facilities, pipelines, etc.

We will work with honesty.

My dear, all politicians make these tall promises, right?

But whoever just before the election

distributes mobile phones, blankets, and money,

the public only sees these benefits.

But we will try, Grandma.

My dear, tell me.

Even if you win the election, it won't be of any use.

You will go back to Delhi.

Grandma, I have decided that, win or lose,

I will stay back here.

Really?

We will start an organic farming company.

Good work can be done from villages too.

I will also work with sister.

Gurudev Organic Vegetables.

Farm-to-kitchen.

We will sell online on Amazon, BigBasket, and through our own app.

Dear, don't forget one thing. Take Jamila with you too.

She has been selling vegetables on her head for years.

[GURUDEV] Amma.

-I got your mobile recharged. -Really?

I am going to farm.

Hey, Chhutki.

Just check.

How many likes?

-22,000 likes. -What?

Grandma, you are a celebrity now.

This vegetable photo, you and Jamila auntie,

-Who clicked this photo? -[ANA] I clicked and posted the photo.

Even cancer could not snatch my smile.

Wow, Amma. You are doing wonders.

Your grandmother herself is wonderful.

Four hundred and forty-one people have commented also.

What is this message?

Sister.

Sister.

"We have started a crowdfunding for grandmother's treatment.

My daughter from Germany who is a doctor has contacts in India

and wants to donate Rs. 1 lakh for the treatment. "

Grandma, your photo has gone viral.

[AMMA CHUCKLES]

God has answered my prayers.

I had only one wish that one day my photo become virus.

Amma, not virus. It's called viral. Viral!

You crazy girl, without virus, there can't be any viral, okay?

[MAN] Yes. Come here. Get the camera quickly.

This is Amma's house.

You're Amma-ji, right?

-Whose marriage procession is this? -Amma-ji.

Now we have reached the home of the crowdfunded grandma.

She is sitting here and cutting vegetables.

Let's meet Amma-ji.

Hello, Amma-ji.

I am from the fastest channel.

What a wonder you are.

All over social media, it's you and only you.

Everywhere only you.

Amma-ji, I received a call from the studio that I immediately interview you.

Are you ready?

-Is it for TV? -Yes.

-Yes, we want your interview. -Yes. Yes.

Let me do some makeup.

Go get some facial powder.

By the way, Amma-ji, anchors with makeup sit in the studios.

We field reporters stand in harsh sunlight and only get abuse.

That's why I don't watch TV.

Newscasters are nothing but talking heads and create communal divide in the society.

She is...

She is my granddaughter.

She has returned here from America after her education.

She is contesting the village council head election.

Really?

What a great thing.

This is the real Back to the Homeland.

So, what did you do over there?

I completed M. Tech and PhD in Nuclear Technology.

Now, I'm back in my country.

Oh-ho-ho! Cameraman, ready. Please come here.

The village council election will be contested by a nuclear technologist.

This is very explosive breaking news. Let's get her interview too.

In this way, I can ensure my promotion.

Amma-ji, you please be here.

So let's start.

Brother, please step aside.

Okay, brother, place some cows and buffaloes in background.

Pan the camera.

Please spread some garbage all over there in the background.

-Make it look like a real village. -Why would you show it like this?

Keep quiet.

You, please spread the garbage. Spread as much as you want.

Then only people will watch us, am I right?

Don't you know politicians?

They tell so many lies.

Amma.

But in the end, only truth wins.

My dear...

by the time people realize the truth, the lie has already become the king.

Right?

Okay, let's start.

See?

That old lady has gone viral.

Everyone is talking about her.

You will get a heart attack with all this tension.

If something bad happens to you, what will I do then?

Nothing will happen. Why are you rubbing salt on the wounds?

Have you ever heard of a politician

dying from diabetes or high blood pressure?

You won't be a widow until you are 80 years old.

I fear I may be a widower if you die early.

Yes. Then kill me. I don't want to contest the election.

-What? -She is young and modern.

Let her do work for a few years.

Let her work for a few years.

Then she will take her land back and then others too.

Then a queue will form.

We will be living on the road, and you will eat wheat straw, right?

It's my misfortune that this village is reserved for woman candidates.

I could have easily fought and won this by myself.

You mean I do not have any value for you?

The house, land, the election only matters to you.

What else is there in life...

except all these things?

Let's walk quickly.

We need to arrange a few horses.

Big Boss will be happy.

No, no. Not horses. We need donkeys.

Let's see what he says.

-Hello, Big Boss. -Hello, Big Boss.

You stop here.

This will serve as good publicity for our election symbol.

We will roam with this.

Big Boss, now, don't worry at all.

Our victory is assured this time too.

Good.

Whose idea is this?

It's mine, Big Boss.

Come here.

You bloody... It's your idea.

Check out Facebook. See?

You could not think of any other disease?

What you told to write cancer?

Look. Her post has gone viral.

You could've written anything else like malaria, virus, or dengue fever.

You could have written anything else!

Big Boss, I thought they would take the old lady to the city for treatment.

And we would win the election here.

What is this?

Bhabhi-ji, this is a donkey.

Were you all not enough, so you got another?

Veil.

Veil.

Why should I wear the veil?

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

I am educated.

I can make up my own mind.

Breakfast is lying there, if you want to eat it.

Big Boss.

Big Boss.

I've got one more idea.

Think before opening your mouth.

Big Boss, I was thinking that, anyway,

we will be bashed at the end of the election.

So why not listen to my new idea?

I was thinking,

what is so special about that white-skinned girl?

She has come from America after studying. She is modern.

He is also educated. MBA.

She looks like a fairy or a TV heroine.

That is why people are attracted.

We have to turn the tide anyhow in our favor.

Big Boss, one shoe is very inauspicious. I keep it here.

[PARSANT] Big Boss, this is a panacea idea.

If you allow...

Do I have any option?

The Planning Commission of India will not come to advise me, so you speak.

Yes, Big Boss.

Big Boss, as I was saying,

what do we need for our election campaign?

A crowd.

A crowd comes through attraction,

and attraction comes through beautiful women.

See, these Bollywood heroines are not brainy.

Does anyone ask how educated they are? Right?

Similarly, I was saying that, why not Bhabhi-ji?

If you cut her hair, Bhaiyya-ji...

This will bring out her inner beauty.

What good is inner beauty if it remains hidden?

Just try to understand me. Just this once.

So as I was saying, Bhabhi-ji with some makeup

and modern dresses,

she would look like a Bollywood heroine.

And she is beautiful.

[RAJ, SHOUTING] When did you see my wife's beauty?

Hey, Chhukti.

See if there are any comments on Twitter.

Okay.

London's PM is a very good person.

Early this morning, he sent a message.

"Grandma, get well soon. "

When will I get a message?

[JAMILA] Amma, have some patience.

Once Ana wins the election, you will receive hundreds of messages.

Nowadays, who returns to villages to look after their people?

-Is this okay? -No. No.

Okay.

How about this?

-This looks good. -Okay.

So we get 10 to 12 dresses like this.

Have you not seen the big leaders?

They change ten to 12 dresses in a day.

How about this?

This one will look cute on sister.

No.

It would be good if Ana wears attire which suits the village culture.

[AMMA COUGHING]

Amma?

It looks like a girl returned from America

because her heart belongs to India.

Chhukti is correct!

[PLAYFUL MUSIC PLAYS]

-[SUDHA SCREAMS] -Why are you shouting? It's me.

You'll wake up the whole village.

Why were you staring at me so closely?

I was not staring.

I was looking at your moon face.

You are my moon, and I am your moonlight.

Do you think I am a fool?

I have heard everything from behind the door.

Your goons...

I am not a show piece.

I will break their bones.

You don't worry.

I was just thinking that you are so beautiful and delicate.

How you will live in the slums starting next month?

Why should I stay in the slums?

Once we lose the election,

all money, black, yellow, blue, or green, will be lost.

They won't leave us.

I had only one desire in life.

I just wanted to build a small-size Taj Mahal for you.

I am not dead yet.

No, no.

I mean a house that resembles the Taj Mahal.

What can I say?

My dream will have to remain a dream.

Tell me one thing.

Since when have you started speaking the truth?

Have you left politics?

My heart is broken.

I just wish to make a Taj Mahal for you. That's it.

Really?

I will do anything for you.

But this time I want you to fast for one day with me.

Don't stuff your tummy with snacks for a day.

At least once, remain hungry with me.

What is this?

Why are you covering your face so much?

You will have problems breathing.

Pull it up.

That's good.

-Hello, Big Boss. -Hello, Big Boss.

Big Boss.

These are our people.

Don't be so shy.

-Hello, Big Boss. -Hello.

We are promoting our election symbol.

That's good. Keep working hard, okay?

Distribute this money among yourselves.

-Okay. -Okay.

Big Boss loved the idea.

Now we will rock.

Let's go.

Please see this.

[RAJ] No, no.

-Show the other one. -Okay.

Madam, please see this.

Madam, this will suit you.

Don't shame me in front of the villagers.

Sudha, darling.

I am doing this for your Taj Mahal. Why don't you understand?

Dashing.

Wow, madam, you look great.

Are you going to Goa?

-We will make our village Goa. -Got it.

Why did you wink at her?

In jeans, if I'm not winking, you want me to squat up and down?

Let's go.

-Hello. -Hello.

Please vote for me for the development of our village.

-Hello. -Hello.

Please vote for me for the development of our village.

-Hello. -Hello.

Please vote for me for development of our village.

Who will win? Who will win?

Donkey symbol will win!

Who will win? Who will win?

Donkey symbol will win!

Who will win? Who will win?

Bhabhi-ji will win.

Please remember Bhabhi-ji's election symbol is a donkey.

If you forget the donkey symbol,

Big Boss will not forget you.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

To become a favorite of the youth,

Bhabhi-ji is dressing like them.

We have full confidence that elders will also support us.

Brothers and sisters,

please look at Bhabhi-ji and press the button on donkey symbol.

Who will win? Who will win?

Donkey symbol will win!

Brothers and sisters, like the earlier time,

please vote for her and save her honor.

We are certain that elders will encourage the youth.

Please remember, Bhabhi-ji's election symbol is a donkey.

Please press the button with a donkey symbol.

And help Bhabhi-ji to win with a big margin.

Hey, Gurudev.

What is he doing?

For election, he has turned his wife into a TV heroine

and making her roam in the village.

Has he no shame or modesty left?

That girl is also the daughter of the village.

[MAN] Our Bhabhi-ji's symbol is donkey.

Please vote for the donkey symbol

and help our Bhabhi-ji win by large numbers.

Hey, give them one.

Brothers and sisters,

please remember...

For a village election,

they have dragged women down to this level.

Will they let women wear any cloth in a major election?

Big Boss.

The scene is earth-shattering.

Half of the village is dancing behind her.

Big Boss, it appears that her wearing long pants is not effective.

I am saying...

if Bhabhi-ji may be in shorts...

Will I make her roam in shorts?

Big Boss, history is full of such...

Yes, Big Boss.

By hook or crook,

men have always put women in the front to win the war.

That's why... That's why Bhaiyya-ji... Shorts...

Am I an animal?

Wear this. Wear that.

You roam nude. Who is stopping you?

Is this an election or an exhibition of my body?

[PARSANT] Bhabhi-ji, just shorts...

Shorts? Shorts.

Shorts.

If you come up with any new ideas, I will send you directly to hell.

[RAJ] Why are you shivering?

Stand properly. It's an empty gun.

Sudha, remove your finger from the trigger.

Or else you will be a widow in your prime youth.

Stop all your drama.

Yes, yes, stopped.

Big Boss.

[GUN FIRES]

Big Boss,

from now on, our election office will be here under the tree.

But how will we campaign without the candidate?

You just shut your mouth.

Bloody idea.

Okay. I agree it was my idea.

But... But the clothes were removed by Big Boss.

Had the bullet hit me,

my ashes would have been floating in the holy river by now.

Will we cut trees for your funeral pyre?

Waste the wood?

We would have dug here and dumped your body.

I will stuff this in your mouth.

First think about how to enter the house. Bloody...

Big Boss, tomato.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

What is this?

I told you the other day, take photos and go away from the village.

First the library, and now you are contesting the election.

Listen.

This is my village.

I am very respected here.

Even a leaf does not move here without my permission.

This dialogue does not suit you, who gets scared by children's slogans.

V is for victory.

If I don't get it,

then it can turn into--

Got it?

You are trying to threaten me.

Not trying, but really making you frightened.

I am a sharpshooter.

[IN ENGLISH] I can shoot a bullet, I went to NCC, and I never miss my target.

If you want me to show you, I can.

What is she saying in English?

Big Boss, she is saying something about a Shishi bottle.

I did not understand much.

[PARSANT] Big Boss, she is saying she hits the target perfectly.

[ANA IN HINDI] Okay, let's see.

If you win,

I will come to your place to have a cup of tea.

[IN ENGLISH] And if I win and you lose,

you come to my house for some chai,

and you can bring your three monkeys with you,

and we'll have a party.

[RAJ] Again, what is she saying? Monkey?

-She may be talking about Mann Ki Baat. -Yes. She spoke about Maan Ki Baat.

Maan Ki Baat? She is not threatening us?

[PARSANT] No, Big Boss.

[CHANTING]

At least chant the prayer properly.

[CONTINUES CHANTING]

Listen, can I give you a suggestion?

-Okay, tell me. -Come and sit here.

Tell me.

Keep these stupid followers away from you.

Are their heads stuffed with garbage?

They are stupid, that's why they are my followers.

I was thinking, why don't we change the election narrative?

Even big political parties do this.

Just to distract the public from real issues.

Which means?

Come close.

[WHISPERING INAUDIBLY]

Wow, what an idea.

Sudha, darling,

you have become perfect for the National Parliament.

This is called politics.

I will perform this noble task today.

Do you see the benefit of being with me?

Thank you.

Now, see the effect of summer in the winter.

You sleep peacefully. I will be back by morning.

[JAMILA] Rajnarayan Bhaiyya.

[SUDHA] Yes, wait a minute.

-[JAMILA] Can we come in? -Yes, please.

Come.

Oh, sister.

-Hello, sister. -Hello.

Years have passed.

You have not come to our home.

Please be seated.

Where is Big Boss?

He is not at home.

He said he will be back by tomorrow morning.

He has some meetings.

We have come here at Amma's insistence.

Sudha, please don't misunderstand us.

We are not on good terms with Big Boss due to property issues.

But we belong to the same village and society.

Amma could not sleep all night.

What happened to Amma?

She was feeling dizzy.

-Is she okay now? -She is better.

Sudha, we used to wear frocks and skirts during our childhood, right?

Whatever we women do on our own is right.

But all this for politics?

We are being manipulated. They shoot their guns from our shoulders.

This is not right.

Amma and we all together have decided, we will not contest this election.

You can win unopposed with our consent.

This will keep our village united.

These people have divided us based upon caste and religion.

-They have created a rift in families. -You are right.

-Listen. -Yes?

Where is the chemical?

If someone wakes up, put this rag with chemicals on their face

to make them unconscious, understood?

You have repeated this three times.

Is this college where you repeat classes? How many more books are left?

Have patience. Are you tired?

My son had sent these books

with so much hope for the children of the village.

May God assign these thieves to hell.

They took away all the books.

Grandma...

I feel the thieves will sell the books in the city as scrap.

If they had been educated, why would they be stealing?

So many dogs are kept in the village.

They just have become idle.

Not a single one barked in the night.

[MAN OVER SPEAKER] Good news for all the villagers.

Our beloved Bhabhi-ji, whose election symbol is a donkey,

today in the village council school, she will inaugurate the library.

You all are invited on this special occasion.

Please pay special attention.

Sweets and hot snacks are arranged for everyone who attends.

Please keep this in mind.

People who arrive before time will be given one extra hot snack.

-Big Boss -What?

I am feeling very sleepy.

I did not sleep the entire night.

Don't even mention sleep. I will strangle you.

Understood?

Where is she going?

You guys go and prepare sweets and snacks.

Hello, dear.

What happened?

You bloody...

Do you think that I can't drive?

My dad gave you this car.

Yes.

What happened?

I got the library opened, changed the narrative,

now, if you want, I will kill someone.

Can you really kill?

Sudha?

What are you saying?

-You really want me to murder? -Leave it. Don't talk rubbish.

Wait. Wait. Tell me.

Really? You'll do it?

Okay, I'll consider it.

Just forget all my past deeds, Amma. Please.

I have committed mistakes.

Now, she is the stubborn one.

I am unable to understand Triya Charitra.

[ANA] "Triya Charitra" means?

He is talking about himself.

He himself is a blackboard.

I have established the library after so much hard work,

fulfilling both your and Ana's wish.

I am working day and night.

And now she says she won't contest in the election.

-Amma, is this correct behavior? -She is right.

At least she cares about her prestige.

Amma, I have spent so much. I have also purchased 200 apples.

How will I bear so many losses?

You do one thing.

Give all the apples to Jamila, okay?

She can sell them and at least will make some profit.

This will help her, right?

-Amma? -Yes.

They are talking about the Apple phone. Apple phone.

Gurudev, brother, now you are my only support.

If no solution is found by this evening, Sudha will return to her father's house.

She has also threatened me with divorce.

This will hurt my prestige in the village.

When you illegally captured others' land, that time, did you not feel ashamed?

What can I do in this?

I could have tried to explain to her if she were my wife.

Gurudev, brother, now she will only listen to you.

She told me I should apologize to you and return the captured lands.

Then return the land.

If you want to keep the wife, then leave the land.

Amma, at least speak respectfully to the visitors!

[AMMA] You keep quiet.

Amma, if you want, I will leave your land right now.

You run your tractor on it.

But then others will demand it too, then who will be scared of me?

Are you a demon? Everyone should be scared of you?

I have arranged for the library, I will return the lands,

and I have bought 200 apples.

How am I going to recover my expenses?

Oh, I see. You contest the election to fill your coffer.

See, I can help you win the election.

Ana can quit the contest.

But, my dear...

you have to earn respect yourself.

What news.

Amma, I came here to listen to this only.

I have not yet decided to withdraw from the contest,

but I can think about it.

If you want, then, I can build a new school for you.

You surrender the illegal occupation from everyone's land

and then honestly do good for the village.

This is too difficult.

My dear, a monkey can be very old,

but it never forgets how to do a somersault.

You do one thing.

Keep the land with you, and...

let your wife go to her father.

No, no, Amma.

-I know very well. Her father has a gun. -[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

That is why you are shivering.

Amma, there is a new message.

What is it?

We have got Rs. 2 million in the crowdfunding account.

And 500,000 rupees in our bank account.

Ana dear, please return everyone's money.

Return it.

I have no health problem.

The doctor falsely diagnosed me under threats from this man.

I just have only one wish.

[ANA] Grandma.

Tell us. We will fulfill all your wishes.

I have heard Goa is a very beautiful place.

At least once on an airplane.

I want to go to Goa.

[BAND PLAYING JOVIAL MUSIC]

It's lovely. Right?

Amma, we are going.

-It's very good. -Show me, please.

See.

-Amma. -Yes.

Your granddaughter and my wife are very shrewd.

They fooled me.

-Don't you know? -What?

I know what is cooking between them.

What is cooking?

-See this. -This is Sudha.

Yes,

and she is my granddaughter Ana.

Both were in NCC camp together.

You were rightly assigned the donkey election symbol.

Got it, Amma.

How many belonged to you?

You captured two acres of my land.

Can you accept 1.5 acres?

You captured two acres so return to me two acres.

So take two. Okay. Who objects?

Take all.

How are you, uncle? How much land was yours?

Three acres.

Plus or minus?

It was three acres so I will take three.

Sure three acres?

Take it.

What to do?

Time is not on my side.

Do you understand?

I have gone from king to pauper. I hope I can return to being king one day.

You? You take everything.

Take it.
