Father, do you know them? - Them?

No, I don't know. - Then why didthey smile at you?

Smile isthe only language that everyone understands in the world.

Father, always be with me

When you are there with me everything looks happy.

Birds. Goats Farms Our village. Everything.

To make sure everyone is happy...

...yourfatherwent to live in the forests

I heard that the police will kill you.

Who? Who said that?

My teacher saidthat.

You are agood person Why should they kill you? - I am still alive

I feel like crying, father. - You shouldn't cry.

Even when I am not there you should be smiling.

Shall I tell you something?

If we live for ourselves it's not a life worth living

If we die for others that's alife worth living.

Shekhar. Don't move.

Shekhar.

Son what's your name? - Bhagat.

Nice name. - When did yourfather come?

Today. - You know where yourfather lives?

In the forest. Why do you want to kill my father?

Everyone says my fatheris agood man

Look son, we don't kill the innocents with these guns.

If yourfatherwas really nice he should've livedwith us.

What'sthe needto run away?

Ranasthali, 1989

Greetings, brother.

Move aside. Move aside.

Father. - Why did you come?

They will kill you You are not needed here

Sadhu. Sadhu will take care of everything.

Go. Go away from here. Go away.

They will kill you

Only because uncle is here you are saying...

...he will take care of everything He is your brother.

I am your son.

All this belongsto me. Only to me.

Your property. Your business. Your life

Your chair.

Father, I could've killed uncle even after your death...

...but youwouldn't have known about it.

He carried you in his arms when you were a kid.

We too have some ethics.

Remove that gunfirst.

Father, death is easy.

Your close your eyes and it's over.

But killing is very difficult.

Shakti, you made amistake.

You made abig mistake.

Uncle everyone in our family alongwith father...

...are destined to go to hell.

If you know anyone in this world.

...who hasn't done any mistake come here along with him

Till then don't come to me.

Sir, if the crows haven't touched the holy offering yet...

...it means yourfather had some unfulfilled wishes

Till his wish isn't fulfilled crows won't touchthat holy offering.

Rod Mastan.

He is not ready for compromise.

Anji didn't listento you. He is thinking of plansto kill you

And Mati Kumar? - He is the one who asked Prabhakar to stop.

He is going overboard. He said he is giving you two days' time.

And that you should run away by then.

Or else you should commit suicide.

I'mthe one who should say that.

Ok let's not wait further.

Let's finish the job.

Ourenemies' strength will show people our strength.

Priest, do I have to offer the holy offering to crows?

Can't I offer it to dogs?

How long? - Half an hour, sir.

You are saying the same since one hour.

Mr. Murthy, there's a minor change inthe program.

He should surrenderwith the weapon

Sorry, sir. It's not possible

Minister sir, I told you right in the beginning...

...that he won't do all this.

What weapon? - Chandrashekhar Panigrahi...

...notorious agitator. His surrenderwill be agreat victory.

If he surrenders with the weapon.

...it will be a huge blow for the naxals (agroup of rebels).

And he didn't agree forthat. - But, sir...

That's all. The risk factor is for us

We are in public life. Make it fast.

Ask him to come soon. I want to leave.

Ok, sir.

Sir, he's coming.

Greetings - Greetings.

Actually during my student days I too worked...

...with agitators, I was apart of the mission

The ministerwill give you a check now.

For surrendering yourself.

There's no need forthat.

So from now onwards as a responsible citizen...

I have been always a responsible citizen.

I mean be apart of society...

I am part of the society.

Sir, why did you surrender?

Some are saying it's because of your poor health.

Do you have any doubts regardingthe mission?

You are a member of the central committee

If you surrenderin this way...

There's no problem with my health.

I didn't accept the reward the government offered me.

I have complete faith in our mission.

I don't have any differences with the party.

There's a retirement age for everything in life

In the same way I left the mission...

...thinking that we should also get retirement fromthis work.

Thank you.

Mr. Panigrahi, now that you have surrendered yourself...

What will you do now?

Till now I lived in forests

From now on I will live with people in society.

Listen, Bhagat. Bhagat. One minute...

Practicing to hone my singing and running foryour health...

...just like that. Ok tell me something.

A middleman came for you some time ago.

You didn't get it? Middleman means.

...not someone young like you and not an old man like me

Just like that. He said he'll be right here. - Listen...

Coming Look for him

Bhagat, that guy's name is Panigrahi.

Indian Express' Mr. Murthy told me that you are in this city.

How are you father?

I jumped fromthe bridge that day andfled. You remember it?

I am the same man And you?

I am fine, father.

I surrendered myself yesterday itself.

Father, you want to have tea coffee or something?

No formalities please Offer anything you wish

Are you preparing for UPSC?

I am writing exams for a job in civil service father.

The prelims are over. The main exams are next month.

Collector? - No, I want to be a police officer.

I don't want tea Give me something to eat.

It is last night's rice father. - It's alright.

I never saw a good police officer in my life

Your motherwas also killed by a police officer.

There's no goodness in policemen

Why are you smiling? - That day police didn't intend...

...to kill mother, father. And also, goodness can't be...

...seen on someone's face

Read the newspapers once.

Police atrocities lock-up deaths molestations.

...can be seen all around.

That system has collapsed. - That's your opinion, father.

Youthink it's not true? - If what you say is true...

...then we have to first change this very system, father.

That's why I want to become apolice officer.

You are thinking in a goodway.

Be a good man even after becoming a policeman

I am abit aggressive speaker.

I have been that way right since the beginning

It will take me a couple of daysto settle here.

You don't needto settle anywhere, father.

I have adjusted with my father a long ago.

It's an old habit inthe jungle.

Roaming all night and sleeping in the morning.

You didn't go to your office? - I kept looking at you.

Why? - It's been along time.

Bhagat, I think there's some guest at your home.

Just like that. Greetings, sir. My name is Chirigiri Raju.

I stay in the nearby house Just like that.

Instead of plain Chirigiri Raju if you say musician Chirigiri Raju...

...they can identify me I teach music.

Just like that. I charge fee forthat though.

And you are. - He is my son

Hey! Bhagat, you didn't tell me that your father is coming

Did he even tell you that his father is alive?

Come on! He doesn't need to tell that.

And also, how can there be music without basic notes...

...and how can there be children without parents.

I thought you must be in some job or business somewhere.

By the way what do you do? Just like that.
