Stop the car on the left, Madan.

'Sugar mill, Rampur'

What's the matter, Sudarshan?

Is there a security concern here too?

No, sir.

There was a time when you
couldn't roll down windows.

All of Rampur was engulfed with
the fumes from the sugar mill.

-Shall we?
-Yes, sir.

Sir, there is a copy of the notice
on your table.

There is a meeting now with
the minister at the circuit house.

After that, there is a meeting
with CBCC from Delhi.

And the SDM has prepared
the presentation.

And the file is in the car.

And the ALC, Mr. Sandeep Ohlan
is here to meet you.

If the matter is about
the day labourers and increment,

then an inspection notice
for the premises is wrong.

Right, ALC?

It's the practical way to go about it.

And that's the reason industrialists
trust the system less.

Their morale goes down.

And then they say they are being
threatened by the labour department

at an investors' meeting.

Isn't this a threat?

Sir, it isn't just about their morale.

It's also about the rights of
the labourers.

Tell me something.

Why would he publicly bring this
up at an investors' meeting?

To add pressure.

There and in the eyes of the media
as well.

That's why I warned you earlier.

They want to lower our morale,
not vice-versa.

If we call back the notice now,
that's what everyone will think.

That the inspection was
a government error.

That's why it had to be recalled.

I have gotten work done using
the same strategy before.

This will be solved. Please have faith.

Yes, okay.

Sorry. I used your information.

Why didn't you come yesterday,
by the way?

I didn't like you. That's why.

I was embarrassed because
you saw me crying.

And who says make friends
with your loneliness?

Well.

Then why are you here right now?

Because I am impressed.

Because you're the only one
in Rajendranagar

who has a recommendation from
the President of India for admission.

Well...

Anyway.

I also wanted to tell you
that I've made my decision.

And I'm going back home.

I'll stay there and prepare. No matter
how many attempts it takes.

Oh.

I feel a little anxious here.

No matter how many attempts it takes?

Yes.

Deepa, maybe you don't have to be
anxious about going home.

And you may not have to attempt
so many times like me.

You may crack it in the first attempt.

You never know. Right?

Look, this is my fifth attempt.
I'm telling you out of experience. Okay?

You may do it here or back home.

But taking so many attempts.

Is not enjoyable.

I don't think you should go home.

Your prelims are over.
But you cannot relax.

Because this was never
about the prelims.

It was always about the...

-Mains!
-Exactly.

To win a battle, you must have
the right strategy.

Okay? Wait.

Now, last year, in 2013, UPSC
changed the whole scenario.

That static portion is also being
asked alongside

analytical and dynamic facts.

Let's take an example.

Let's take the battle of Panipat
from history as an example.

Any good aspirant would know

what happened in the first, second,
and third battles of Panipat.

When it happened.
They would know all of it. Correct?

What is the question
in the exam of 2013?

Why did the Battle of Panipat
take place in Panipat?

Aren't you confused now?

All your mugging up was of no use,
right, students?

Right. So,

we will make our strategy in
the same way.

Keeping in mind the new approach
of UPSC,

I have designed a new strategy
which will be called...

-Time management strategy.
-Time management strategy.

Now, let's try and understand it, okay?

So, 50% of the focus will be on
knowledge and textbooks.

And 50% will be on test series.

Which includes different strategies
for different questions

and time management.

Let me guess.

You have a problem with
my dynamic strategy.

Ma'am, in the 2013 UPSC syllabus,
new topics have been added too.

Shouldn't we consider
that change as well?

So, I'd like to focus more
on my knowledge base.

I don't want to dedicate 50%
of my time to the test series.

I think 20% will be the right amount
for me.

So, I want to go with 80-20 instead
of your 50-50 percent strategy.

Abhilash, I don't think you have
understood it correctly.

I think you should follow this
strategy with me for some time.

You'll get it.

No, ma'am, I got it.
It's a very good strategy.

And it will definitely help others.

But not me.

How are you special, Abhilash?

Ma'am, this is my fifth attempt.

I don't have time to experiment.

Exactly. You should have understood
by now.

That your strategy has never
worked for you.

Ma'am, I shouldn't be changing

my exam techniques
drastically just before the mains.

When you give so much time to test
series, revision is compromised.

I'm not against your strategy.

It's a do-or-die situation for me.
And I cannot take risks.

He who is not courageous
enough to take risks

accomplishes nothing in life.

Who said that?

Mohammed Ali.

Follow what I'm saying, Abhilash.

It's not too late. Otherwise,
you won't pass the exam.

Ma'am, people pass
exams without coaching.

So, they must have a strategy
of their own.

So, how are you saying it with
confidence that I won't pass?

Because I'm not confident
about your strategy.

So, I won't waste my time on you, right?

And I don't want to spoil my record.

Just change your strategy.

You may leave.

Abhilash, now, you have a lot of time.

Let's go to Muhuratlal Ka Dhaba,
have parathas and chill. Huh?

I left the coaching and kept
the extra time for self-study.

Not to chill.

I would suggest you guys to join me
as well.

Guys?

-Yeah.
-Sundar?

Bye.

Ever since Uncle Wadia
renovated the house,

the whole vibe has changed.

DM sir said something nice
before you came.

That everything gets better
with cooperation.

The feeling of cooperation is great.

You must have met him before.

Yes.

There is a request for cooperation
from you too, DM sir.

The Labour Department has
sent an inspection notice.

Have it recalled.

Sir, actually,
that is a routine inspection.

It's happening via the processes
of the Labour Department.

Stopping the departmental work
halfway reduces the team's morale.

And if the morale is down,
then how will the system work?

I hope you understand.

When something can
be done with cooperation,

why bring conflict into it?

See if you can do something.

Sir, the department is doing its job.

It's not a good idea to interfere.

Thank you for the tea.

Jai Hind, sir.

Does the DM know that these
are the same labourers

who are being displaced from
the lands of the Gram Panchayat?

It doesn't seem like that, sir.

-Sirupa?
-Yes, sir.

Ask ALC Sandeep Ohlan to meet me
right away.

Sir, what about Delhi?

-We'll go together.
-Okay, sir.

I'm not very sure about this inspection.

Maybe we should think about it again.

-The minister...
-Yes.

The owner of Red Giant Distilleries,
Dayanand Joshi, was present there too.

Bloody hustler.

As of now, I have refused to recall
the inspection.

There could be repercussions to it.

Make sure they don't escalate it.

Don't worry. I'll handle it.

Okay. Thank you.

Let's go.

What happened, sir?

Look at the audacity of
the owner of Red Giant Distillery.

He's trying to pressurise the DM.

'Coming to Delhi. Can we meet in the
evening? Shastri Bhavan? Coffee House?'

Dhairya.

Dhairya, check who is at the door.

Sir.

Thank you.

Is it a reminder for the loan payment?

All of them are hidden in that drawer.

Keep this too.

-Is breakfast ready?
-Yes.

Why are working so hard?
We could have eaten bread omelette.

It's amazing to eat parathas
in the morning.

With butter on the side.

Wait.

That much butter?

Yes. Why not?

-Dhairya?
-Hmm?

Do you think I should fill up
the Rampur tender as well?

Yes, of course, you should. Why not?

Otherwise, the bank will be
at our doorstep the next time.

You aren't doing anything
wrong or illegal.

But I don't want it to be a conflict
of interest for Abhilash.

It's a tender for a higher department.

I'm sure he won't be involved directly.

Apply based on your product
quality and honesty.

I had done that.

Nagpur and Indore tenders were rejected.

Maybe Rampur will work out.

Guri, you need to think
like a businessman.

Don't let go of any opportunity.

And don't take so much stress, please.

Where am I stressed?
I'm not stressed at all.

If you aren't stressed, then why have
you added so much potato to the paratha?

You never appreciate me.

No. I mean they have turned out well.

Listen.

Abhilash had messaged.
I'm going to meet him. Will you come?

No.

-Why?
-I'm not coming with you.

If I'm there, both of you
won't be able to talk openly.

-Good morning.
-Sir, did you call me?

Yes, please have a seat.

I have heard that the DM
of Rampur and you are close.

Yes. Abhilash.

We were college friends, sir.
We did our preparations together.

That's great.

But no matter how close you are,

after becoming an IAS officer,
things change.

Oh no, sir.

I have a deep friendship with Abhilash.

-It's a childhood friendship.
-No, of course.

SK sir, I want to make a request.

Sure. Tell me, sir.

As you know that there are not too many
students enrolling these days.

Yes.

And our institute's financials
are down too.

Yes, sir.

If you could convince DM sir
for a special lecture here.

You understand how much
of a difference a lecture by

an IAS officer will make.

SK sir?

Yes, sir.

-It's possible, right?
-Yes, sir, of course.

He's a friend.

Together we'll turn things around.

-That's great.
-Don't worry, sir.

Thank you.

Now, you have to handle things.

-This is yours now.
-It's ours, sir.

Not yours. It's ours, sir.

-Okay, sir.
-Namaste.

So, what have you decided
about your strategy?

I don't know.

What do you think?

Radha ma'am's track record is the best.

So, she must have thought it through.

-Don't mind me...
-But it will take time.

But think about it.
If your strategy was good,

then you wouldn't be
giving a fifth attempt.

I want to get my notes photocopied.
I'll see you later. Hi, S.

-Hi.
-Come on.

-Let's go.
-Yes. Come.

-Are you judging me?
-No.

Sometimes, I smoke when I'm stressed.

I'll quit after the exams.

Is it?

In the form of lust, O son of Kunti,

never to be satisfied...

What?

This is a verse from the Bhagavad Gita.
I can't remember it now.

It means that any attachments and
addictions come in the form of lust.

And the addiction gets stronger,
never reduces.

You won't be able to quit.

Okay.

Then how do I quit now?

Do you want to quit?

Look.

Think that this is the last cigarette
in the world.

Smoke it only when

you think that nothing can be more
stressful than this moment in life.

Okay?

Try it.

-That's really impressive, Dhairya.
-Thank you.

Your work makes me happy.

In fact, there is a lot of
appreciation for your work in

the ANHO US office.

Maybe that's why I am here.

What?

Is the South Asia head of ANHO
here to appreciate me?

No, Dhairya, you don't need
any appreciation from me.

Actually, I have brought
some good news for you.

There's a small bad news
for it as well but...

The good news is that ANHO wants
to nominate your rehab centre

for the Global Humanity Award.

What?

Ma'am, I remember when you got
this award five years ago.

For your human trafficking rehab centre.

I just hope I don't let you down.

-Of course not.
-And, ma'am,

now, tell me the bad news that
you mentioned too. Tell me.

Oh, yes.

After getting the award, you
will have to tour the UN countries

for three months.

-Okay.
-You are newly married.

You will have to be away from
your husband for three months.

Ma'am, this is good news for him.

-Don't worry about that.
-What are you saying?

He will be happy.

-Seriously?
-Yes.

Your prelims are done?

Will you pass this time?

The exam was good.

But the cut-off could be high.
Can't say.

Listen, I was saying...

What is this? Hey!

Are you here to study
or fix tube lights?

-Tell him.
-He fixes it for Sandeep as well.

-He knows it. He will fix it.
-I know just a little, uncle.

This is just a little as well.
I'm not asking to fix the generator.

We had to get work done before
Jagan's engagement, right?

Call the electrician and
get everything done instead.

Will we sit in the dark till then?
What are you saying?

Fix it, son.

Do it.

-Turn on the light.
-Is it done?

-Is it done?
-Yes.

Oh, wow. You know how to do it.
You were saying you don't.

Here you go.

Son, listen.

Take this. And keep the money.

Oh, no, aunty.

-Take it. Go and have
tea with your friends. -Hey.

What is this, aunty?

-What is it?
-This...

Do you want him to work for free?

I take less rent from him as well.

Oh.

You will be a leech all your life.

Move aside.

-Okay, uncle.
-Well,

where are your useless friends?

They are not useless, uncle.
They are busy studying.

Everyone is busy.

-You should keep yourself busy too.
-What?

We have identified a location
for the proposed ethanol plant.

The OMCs can take the final
call regarding the location

after the inspection.

See, Rampur wasn't even on our radar.

But you got our attention.

Frankly, this seems like a good project.

But it is still on paper.

But it is achievable, sir.

In fact, we achieve the energy
balance up to eight.

Which is a good energy return
on investment.

Abhilash, I have a suggestion.

If I'm not mistaken,
there is a distillery in Rampur

that makes ethanol.

Yes, sir, Red Giant Distilleries.

But they are only producing 3% ethanol.

And that too is their by-product.

Exactly. Convince Red Giant.

And ask them to increase their
production to 25%.

And for blending, they can partner
with any local provider.

I would definitely want you to work
with Red Giant

and make an example.

Show us some results.

In the meanwhile, I'll check
the concerns of other ministries.

Good job, Abhilash.

Thank you, sir.

Bro, are you paying attention?

Your strategy has a flaw.

They will pick up a number
and throw it to thousands of aspirants.

That will decide if you're in or not.

Are you listening to what I am saying?

You are sitting here grumpily.

SK, I'm sorry.

What?

You wanted to talk to Abhilash.
You should do it.

You shouldn't stop it.

Whatever happened took place between us.

You shouldn't get in the way.

-You should go and talk to him.
-What random things are you saying?

In reality, I don't want to talk
to him either.

He stresses more about the exams
than you and I.

And anyway, whenever we meet,
we will hug and sort it out.

He's a brother. There is no ego. Huh?

Can I tell you something?

You made me happy by saying this.

Today, you have...

-One more.
-What are you doing?

You won my heart by saying this.

Will you have tea?

No, I have to revise
the Vienna Convention.

I'll help you revise
the Vienna Convention. Come.

Let's get some tea first.

Come on.

-Half the time, you don't let me study.
-Yes, come on.

What were you saying about my strategy?

Cheat code isn't a strategy.

Look, revision plus practice.

Plus new topics. This is the strategy.

You never listen to me. Follow this.

It is real.

Whose two hundred rupees is this?

-Whose money is...
-Hey.

Tea is now upgraded to coffee.

Is this right?

We'll do a case study and
find out later. Come, sit.

Hurry now.

Whoever this money belongs to,
thank you for our coffee.

'Consciousness becomes
covered by his enemy'

'in the form of lust
which is never satisfied.'

'That's the verse. Chapter 3, Verse 39.'

'Consciousness becomes
covered by his enemy'

'in the form of lust
which is never satisfied.'

'Consciousness becomes
covered by his enemy'

'in the form of lust
which is never satisfied.'

It means that all addictions come
in the form of lust

and that fire will keep increasing.

It will never cease.

I read it in the Bhagavad Gita.

This verse always shows me
the right way.

What do you mean by the right way?

What do you mean by the right way?

Kusum's dreams.

The love of your parents.

These are attachments as well.

Kusum had called.

She was calling me this month as well.

I refused.

If I go every month, it will become
a habit.

And her expectations will increase
as well.

And then it will be hard to douse
a raging fire.

Sandeep, don't you think

you are being very harsh with Kusum?

Yes, I am.

But to fulfil the dreams Kusum
and I have seen together,

I will have to make harsh decisions.

What if your decisions are proven wrong?

The outcome is not in our hands.

But being confident about
our decisions are.

When we become DM in the future,
we'll have to make harsh decisions.

We will have to be confident about them.

And responsible too.

Right?

You shouldn't base your decisions
on other people's confidence.

Especially when you have to fight
the fight alone.

Ultimately, what matters
is self-confidence.

That's it.

Ma'am, I don't want
to change my strategy.

I have a personalized strategy that
I've been following for years.

And I am confident about it.

I have my own learning.

And I am 100% confident about
my decision, ma'am.

The bitter truth is that
Delhi is full of such aspirants.

Who spent their whole life trying
to gain knowledge.

But couldn't crack UPSC.

You may have more knowledge than
an IAS officer.

But what's the point if you can't
crack the exam?

Your adamance will spoil
my track record.

I know for a fact

that you will not be able to crack
UPSC with your strategy.

I challenge you, ma'am.

I will crack the exam with
my strategy and show you.

Okay, done.

Yes.

I love a good challenge.

We'll meet after your results.

If you crack the exam,
then drinks are on me.

Otherwise, they are on you.

Do you accept it?

Yes.

Okay, then.

The meeting with CBC went well.

-Will tell you when I meet you. -When
will you talk about the real matter?

Do you want to meet today?

Thank you.

Why are you so nervous?

I'll talk to Abhilash about
your tender and the institute.

Let it be. I'll tell him myself.

Oh, wow. Chilli cheese toast.

This is great.

Here.

Well...

-So...
- Why did you let Dhairya leave IRS?

Who was I to stop her?

When we met again, she had already quit.

Dhairya does what she wants.

And she knows why she's doing it.

She always has a clear mind.

And who knows that better than you?

So, Abhilash, I...

One second, Guri. Sorry.

Yes, take it.

Yes, aunty.

-Yes, mom told me. In Delhi?
-Tell him after the call.

-Get straight to it.
-Which school?

Yes, I'll check for sure.

Okay, aunty. Bye.

Who was it?

Ever since I have become the DM,

relatives I didn't know call me.

Get us school admission.

Get us a VIP darshan.

-Stop the transfers.
-Yes, that must be happening.

It makes me so angry when people
shamelessly ask for favours.

Tell him.

What happened?

-Abhilash, I was saying...
-One second. Sorry.

-Yes, Suryapal?
-Sir, there are riots here.

ALC sir did an inspection
in Red Giant Distilleries.

There has been a riot.
The labourers were thrown out, sir.

The labourers are very angry
and are burning things, sir.

And, sir, mostly...

Sir, these are mostly the labourers
that were displaced from

the Gram Panchayat land.

Did we have this information before?

No, sir.

One minute, Suryapal.

Good evening, sir.

Yes, sir, I know.
There are angry labourers there.

ADM is present there.

And I'm on my way back from Delhi, sir.

Yes, sir.

I'll come to your office
right away, sir.

Okay, sir.

Sorry. I'll have to leave now.
There's some stress.

-What?
-I'll tell you later.

-What happened? -The commissioner
has called me to Muradabad.

-There are riots in Rampur.
-Oh.

Sorry, I...

-No, that's okay.
-Okay, bye.

-Take care of yourself.
-Go carefully.

-I'll meet you.
-Yes, okay.

Why didn't you tell him?

Didn't you see how irritated he got
when someone asked him for help?

We would be insulted.

Are we random people?

We are his friends.

Now, submit your tender.

I'll fill out the tender
without his help.

Then you should have let me talk.

I have committed to the chairman.

I'm stuck now.

Are you foolish? Don't you understand?

Don't take favours if you don't want to.

I will say what I have to.

They call us friends but don't
understand the meaning of it.
