Bhavesh Joshi Superhero

'Before the setting sun'

'his dark silhouette stood'

'looking over the city.'

'The wind ruffled his hair.'

'This city was once his..'

'The city he was born in.'

Krrish..

'The city he was born in, grew up in.. One that he loved.'

'That city was now a nightmare.'

Pal..

What does 'dark silhouette' mean?

First let me tell the story, then you may ask what it meant.

But it won't make sense if we don't understand it.

Publish a Hindi dictionary along with this

then I'll understand it.

I'll publish one after you hear it, then you won't even need it.

How will I understand it if you use such complicated words?

I won't understand it.

So then..

But what is this?

It's a graphic novel. Mumbai's first super-hero.

What are you saying?

Wasn't that Ra-One?

No, it was G-One.

That was Ra-One. The movie was Ra-One.

But G-One was the hero. Ra-One was the villain.

Then why was the movie called Ra-One?

How does it matter Ra-One, G-one, anyone?

I spent my life writing this and you won't even listen to it.

Sorry.. - You're on some other tangent.

Okay.. Read.

Don't feel bad. Go on.

'Corruption had eaten into the city like a pest.'

'Every policeman was in the gangster's pocket.'

'Every minister was doing his bidding.'

And the superhero and the gangster's daughter were fiddling.

'I met Bhavesh and Siku in 2011.'

'There was hope everywhere.'

'It was like the entire country was standing against corruption.'

'People were preparing for a new era.'

Why have you come to this protest?

Look, we think corruption is shit.

Yes. And shit stinks.

Shit stinks!

That's it?

'In this chaos, these two clowns just wanted to get arrested.'

Sir, please..

Sir, please..

I told you..

Sir, I swear on Gandhi..

I swear on Gandhi. Sir, please.

I said no.

It must end..

Docu!

This guy hasn't done anything.

Hey, shoot a video of us!

Can you call the cops?

Can you call the cops please? I don't want to go to jail.

Don't cry just yell, 'I praise thee Mother!'

"Come on. Live your life."

"Live your life.."

We shall overcome..

We shall overcome.. Louder!

I do believe..

We shall overcome..

'The police got a kick from Bhavesh and Siku.'

'Even I had never imagined'

'that being in a lock-up can be so much fun.'

All praise Lord Ganesha!

Sachin! Sachin! - 'Truth be told..'

'It was the best day of my life.'

Sachin! Sachin!

Hey, Docu!

What's up?

Rajat. - Bhavesh.

Siku. - 'Perhaps Bhavesh and Siku saw it'

'and that's why they took me in after that day.'

Corruption.. - Must go..

'Back then, a lot of middle class messiahs with brooms appeared.'

'But Bhavesh and Siku believed'

'that the movement didn't need a messiah with a broom.'

We pledge..

'They believed'

'that the ones who spread dirt should clean it.'

People will post photos of their marked fingers on Facebook

but after that no one will lift a finger, man.

Not one freaking finger.

I've seen people raise their fingers to point at others.

His fault, his responsibility, the government's failure.

They won't walk to the trash can to throw their trash.

But when it comes to waste management

they'll be the first to write a disquisition on social media.

Disquisition? Bro, nobody uses words like that anymore.

Why? - Joshi

the country is making progress, what are you doing?

'Progress!' - What are you doing?

India's population is the highest.

But pal, what are we doing?

Meaning?

Meaning we're just getting drunk and then complaining.

Right?

So we should do something.

But what?

And when?

I have an idea..

Hey, mister! Why are you cutting this tree?

Pal, leave now. Let me work.

Cutting trees is illegal! - Illegal!

I have permission from the law

the municipal corporation, and everyone else, understood?

Get lost. - To hell with your permission.

The tree has feelings. Did you ask the tree?

Did you?

Just cut it.

Hey!

I said cut. - Stop!

I said cut!

Shit! Behind you! Look!

Run, Siku.. - Hey.. Stop..

Run.. Siku, run!

Stop!

Insaaf! - Insaaf!

We are Insaaf..

We are Insaaf..

We are Insaaf..

We are the revolution..

We've been trying to save these trees for so many years.

But no one was listening, no one was interested..

You guys saved our trees

thanks a lot.

Listen carefully.

From now on, this society should have

no internet problems. Understood?

Hey? You're threatening me? - Catch him!

Look.. Siku, show him.

Look at this photo.

How did you get this?

Thank you, Insaafers, for solving our internet problems.

Thank you, ma'am..

Insaaf!

Thank you, Mr. Arif, and thank you.

@shruti @priyanka @farhan and Mrs. Sharma.

Who thought of us when they had nowhere else to turn to.

Please don't thank us. It's our duty.

Awesome. Cut? - Got that, pal.

Sure?

'These crusaders were becoming a rage.'

'Bhavesh played the masked crusader.'

'And Siku handled the backend with his technical knowledge.'

Joshi.

Joshi, wake up.

What are you doing? - Check this out.

'Whenever or wherever injustice rears its head'

'and Insaaf is summoned'

'Insaaf will be there to fight it'

'and we will risk our lives to deliver justice.'

'Insaaf Punch!'

Too good, my friend.

'Brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties and children, remember..'

'If someone wrongs you'

'or anyone around you'

'just hit us up on Twitter @theinsaaf'

'or use Facebook, Orkut, Skype, Tumblr, LinkedIn'

'MySpace, Pinterest, iMessage or WhatsApp'

'and remember.'

'We don't use Google Plus.'

'No Google Plus.'

Oh my God! This is so cool.

We're basically like the Indian Justice League.

So, you are like Spiderman.

No.. That's Marvel.

We're DC.

We're cooler, we're darker, we're edgier.

So how did you start doing this?

You know, I used to be like everyone else

but there comes a time

when you must heed a certain call

when the world must come together as one.

Because there are people dying

you see, and

sometimes you need to lend a hand to life.

"The greatest gift of all!"

"We are the world.."

Michael Jackson..

Do you really think

that by singing Michael Jackson's lyrics on YouTube

you can sweet-talk any girl?

How are you this small-minded?

We are a movement, okay?

Oh really?

Yes. It's a movement.

Yes. I totally get it.

It's such a noble cause.

She totally gets it. It's a noble cause.

There are some people who care for their country

their city

and their people.

So will you please get off your high horse and stop judging people?

Hey! Stop the car! Stop the car.

Stop now.
