-Hello. -Hello, Mr. Secretary.

-Hello. -We are from Ballia News.

-You had visited earlier as well. -Yes. We had.

Tell me.

We heard that a legislator brutally killed a pigeon in Phulera.

They wish to interview Bam Bahadur.

-The bloody legislator will get furious. -Obviously.

He is already facing charges for killing a dog and now, this pigeon.

He will get furious.

The question is, do we wish to infuriate him or not?

I have an idea. Pass the phone to the reporter.

Sure.

-The council chief. -Yes.

-Hello, sir. -Hello.

-Sir, tell me. -Yes.

Can't you interview Bam Bahadur if we forbid you?

Of course, we can.

Then go and do it. Why drag us into this?

But, sir, the thing is that we do not want to do it without your support.

-Why? -The interview will enrage the legislator.

Also, he may try to harm Bam Bahadur.

Right.

Sir, he is a poor man.

There should be someone to protect him.

-I'll think and let you know. -Sure.

-Goodbye. -Okay, Chief.

-Why are you people after the legislator? -He's a bastard.

Right.

Want some tea?

Why think so much about it? Let them interview him.

What do you want? Should we make Bam Bahadur the sacrificial lamb?

I never said that he should be sacrificed.

I am telling you to make him the sacrificial lamb.

Then become a hero by protecting him from any harm.

Become a hero you say.

-Well, where is Bam Bahadur's house? -Eastern Phulera.

Who have you been accused of discriminating against?

Against Eastern Phulera.

How can you free yourself from this accusation?

-By doing something for Eastern Phulera. -Then do it.

Why think when you have a chance to act? Just do it.

Listen.

You are becoming way too smart these days.

It will take around 20 minutes even if we hurry.

Yes. Okay. I'll be there. Bye.

All okay?

-Khushbu is unwell. So, I got a call. -Oh.

-Ready? -Ready?

-Bam Bahadur? Are you scared? -Yes?

-Bravo. -Why be scared when I'm doing nothing wrong?

I'll speak the truth.

Speak fearlessly. Nobody can cause any harm to you. Okay?

-Okay. -All right.

Action.

Friends, we are at Mr. Bam Bahadur's place in Phulera.

Mr. Bam Bahadur, welcome to Ballia News.

Hello.

Tell us in detail, what happened on the day a truce was to be called?

The day a truce was to be called...

'Panchayat'

120, 121, 122.

123, 124.

125, 126, 127, 128.

-Hey! Are we getting there? -Of course.

I am exhausted. Take it.

-Chuttan. -Yes.

How many views did the video garner?

How many?

It has 52,000 views and 4000 likes.

-Sir, the council chief is trying to instigate you. -I am instigated.

I feel like going to Phulera

and crushing every single soul with this very mace here. Like this.

Hold it.

Bloody. Did I kill the pigeon on purpose?

MLA sir, Bam Bahadur did not say that.

That is what people think. Did you read the comments on the video?

A person writes 'He's done killing a dog and a pigeon.'

'What animal will it be next?'

Yes, I read that one. It was in Hindi.

My image in my constituency has already taken a beating.

Bhushan. Tell Bam Bahadur to apologise to me publicly.

Otherwise, I shall decimate Phulera.

Sir, this is what the council chief wants.

Yes. In this fight, he will unite the village against you.

How will the chief bring harm to me by uniting the village?

He can cause no fucking harm to me!

MLA sir, the matter is serious.

-Have patience. -Have patience!

Till when? Have patience you say!

Did I become a powerful man to have patience?

Mr. Bhushan, tell Bam Bahadur to give another interview on the same channel

-and apologise to the legislator, on camera. -Right!

Listen, Bhushan. If Bam Bahadur refuses to apologise,

you very well know what I can do.

In no time, I will crush his daring. Yes.

Get that.

Hey. Rinky.

Hi. Good morning.

-Early in the morning. All okay? -Yes. All okay.

-I want to borrow a book from you. -Which one?

The one you are studying to prepare for the MBA entrance.

Oh, I see. Please sit.

So, you have decided to do an MBA?

Not yet. Let me read the book

and ascertain if I can do it or not.

Of course, you can. Why can't you?

One book is here. I'll get the rest from inside.

Well, do I have to memorise it all?

Yes. But don't worry. It can be done.

This is for Quantitive Aptitude.

For Verbal Ability. Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation.

Take whichever you want to.

Which one is the easiest among these?

Depends. Some find Quant to be easy, for others, it is Logical Reasoning.

Which one is easy for you?

For me, it is Data Interpretation. DI.

-This one? -Yes, this one.

Okay.

You've ticked all the questions. Good going with the preparation.

It better be. Exams are around the corner.

I must crack it come what may.

You will. You are working so hard.

Okay. Then let me start with this.

But how will you prepare?

No. I have other study material. It will be done.

-Apart from this? -Yes.

If you have any doubts or confusion, do call me. Okay?

Well, the first confusion is, what exactly is the subject about?

-Are you understanding it? -Why won't she?

Here. Drink milk.

Mom, this is no time to drink milk.

Drink it up. It'll sharpen your brain. You have to study English.

-This is not English, mom. -Hey, looks like English to me.

-It's in English but not about English. -What is it then?

-It is called Data Interpretation. -Say that again.

-DI. -DI?

What DI is that now?

You people should do your job and stop irritating me.

I don't want to drink milk. Here.

-I said drink it. Drink it up. -No.

-No. -Give it to me. I'll drink it.

What is this? Have you lost it?

I may get into a fight with the legislator anytime.

I must be strong.

-Clean your moustache. -I'm doing it.

Here comes the Great Gama wrestler.

Mom, what did he just say? Getting into a fight with the legislator?

Nothing at all. Focus on your studies.

You didn't even drink milk. Come on. Study now.

-But for how long will I hide in office, Chief? -This is not called hiding.

It's a matter of a few days.

Until the matter settles down, be under our watch.

Are you scared, Bam Bahadur?

Now that you people are telling me to be alert, I do feel scared.

The legislator is a dangerous man. It is natural to be scared of him.

-Vikas, why scare him? -He is a savage. He killed a dog and ate it.

Roll it out. Pull it to the side.

Right.

Sir. Let's assume the legislator attacks the office all of a sudden.

We'd need some weapons to defend ourselves in an emergency situation.

Is it the war of Mahabharata for him to attack?

The legislator is unpredictable. He is a crazy guy.

Right, sir?

Sir, we need to keep some weapons handy.

Well, I am thinking of a weapon already.

Which one?

The moment you see the legislator's henchman, stab him.

Now, I'll show you how to thwart an attack. Strike at me.

This side.

-Just keep moving. -Like this.

He's teaching self-defence.

Try hitting me on the head.

Dive straight into his abdomen.

-I am getting a call. Continue the practice. -Go on.

Yes, Khushbu.

Who fainted?

You?

-Rinky. -Yes.

-I'll be right back. -Where are you off to?

-Khushbu had fainted. Let me meet her. -What happened?

Wait. I'll join you.

She's fine now. Meet her later. Study now.

-No, I am coming with you. -You are eager to avoid studies. Come.

-Wait. I am coming. -Come soon.

I hadn't fainted.

I felt dizzy and for some time, I couldn't see anything.

Must be an issue with blood pressure. That is what symptoms indicate.

Hey. Blood pressure issues? How is that possible at such a young age?

I have told you many times to stop overthinking.

That is what leads to such events.

-That's not the case. I think... -What do you think?

I think she is expecting a baby.

-Baby? -Baby? She is still a kid.

-Stop it now. -Come on, sister-in-law.

-Vikas. Pregnancy is a possibility. Right? -Yes.

Yes, it is.

Isn't it?

Stop blushing and go to the doctor for a check-up.

Yes. Consult a doctor.

How will you go?

-Let me get an auto rickshaw. -We'll walk.

What do you mean? I'll get a bigger vehicle.

-Yes. -She's like my daughter. She won't travel by rickshaw.

Go and change, Khushbu.

-Yes. -Khushbu, I'll also accompany you.

What will you do there?

Ma'am, let her come.

May I?

Mr. Secretary, you should also accompany them.

You may deposit the cheque in the bank.

Khushbu, get the cheque.

Why ask for the cheque?

It's been lying here for quite long. What if it expires?

-Khushbu, get the cheque. -Get it.

Get the cheque.

-Give me the account details. -I'll get the passbook.

-A car will be here in 30 minutes. -Okay.

Sir, why take the trouble? We would have managed.

One should take precautions.

We looked everywhere. I wonder where he is hiding.

-Hey, Chutku. Did you happen to see Bam Bahadur? -Yes, sir?

-Yes. -Where?

-He went towards the office. -So he's holed up in the council office.

-Let's go. Come on, sir. -Come on. Hurry.

-How is that possible? -Madhav, stop.

Look at that. The office is locked during working hours.

What will become of this village?

If he's not here, where is he then?

Sir, has he gone into hiding in some other village?

-Shall we try looking inside? Yes, let's do it. -Sure.

-Can't you open it? -I can't.

Shall we look from there? That side.

-He's not here. -Sir.

-Shall we look from there? -Come on.

I wonder where he is.

There is another room here.

-It's closed. -Closed.

Mr. Bhushan, that one is open.

Let's look inside through that.

-Hey. -Found him.

-Hey. -Don't.

What are you people doing here?

Bam Bahadur, put the weapon down.

The legislator sent you to beat me up, right?

Bam Bahadur, what nonsense! Will I bring my wife along to beat you up?

Put the weapon down. It is pointed. We may get injured.

Pal, we are your well-wishers.

Put the weapon down and listen to us with a calm mind.

Put it down now.

Listen carefully. Don't get angry.

We are his messengers. Nothing else.

-The legislator has a request to make you. -To me? He has a request?

What is it?

The interview you gave to the media is tarnishing his image.

What can I do about that?

Not much. Give another interview and in it, tender an apology to the legislator.

What if I don't apologise?

Then neither us nor the chief can save your life.

How can the chief protect him? He's no match for the legislator.

Pal, the pigeon is dead now and it won't come back to life.

Will you fight the legislator over a dead pigeon?

You know what kind of a person the legislator is.

Bam Bahadur, call the reporter again

and tell him that the pigeon died as it was unwell

and the legislator is not at fault for this.

Agree to it, Bam Bahadur.

Otherwise, the legislator has sworn to crush your daring.

I'll go and have a betel leaf.

Betel leaf. Okay, go.

-Come back soon. They will be here. -Yes.

So, getting a hang of data interpretation?

Why? Why won't I get a hang of it?

I am joking. Of course, you'll understand it. Why won't you?

Sorry.

It's a bit tough.

I tried to study but...

What happened?

-Shall I sit behind? -No.

Okay.

Why do you want to sit behind?

Tell me. Why do you want to sit behind?

-I can't tell you. -Tell me. Please.

I can't tell you. It's top secret.

Okay. Don't tell me.

I am aware of all your top secrets.

They are here.

What happened?

Mr. Vikas, is everything all right?

I'll soon be a father!

-Congratulations! You got promoted. -Congratulations.

That was obvious.

You must have healthy food now.

Come on, let's go.

Here. Be careful.

-Oh. Be happy. -Live long. Live long.

-Hey. -Be happy.

Be happy.

Uncle.

-You'll soon be a grandpa. -Vikas, I'm so happy.

Dinner will be at my place.

Don't take the trouble. I'll arrange it at my place.

No, sister-in-law. Let me do it. This will be a great celebration.

-All thanks to Vikas. -Right.

-All right. -Your place is done. Come inside, dear.

Come.

You have to roll the rotis.

Come on.

Park it here.

-It so happened that... -Oh my!

Rinky is attending to guests.

Rinky, where are you?

Rinky, attend to us.

-Hello. -Congratulations.

-Congratulations, Mr. Prahlad. -Congratulations.

Bless you, dear. Be happy.

-Some more. Not that. -You'll get fat.

Here.

-Sir, hello. -Hello.

-Will you eat all of that? -Yes.

-No wonder he's overweight. -When will you lose weight?

Chief.

Bam Bahadur, what happened?

Sir, the chief said he'll think about it and tell us.

Politics makes people think a lot over their decisions.

Let's have refreshments in the meantime.

Have you thought about your decision?

Ma'am, if the legislator had said to me cordially that,

'Bam Bahadur, I am losing face in my constituency.'

I might have apologised to him.

But if he threatens me, I'll show him

that I am a bigger goon than him.

He says he'll crush my daring.

Bam Bahadur's daring.

Widen the angle. All the people should be covered.

A little bit more. This side. Okay.

Are these many people needed?

Of course, they are.

How dare the legislator threaten a person of Phulera?

Let him try and harm Bam Bahadur.

-Listen. Chief and ma'am, please stand behind Bam Bahadur. -Okay.

The ward members from the East should come to the right side

and those from the West, come to the left.

The villagers should appear united.

-Come this side. Hey. -This, here. You come here.

-A bit here. -Mr. Secretary.

-Join us. -What will I do there?

Why be scared? It is about our village and you are the village secretary.

No, I am not scared.

-In that case, come and stand here. -Yes, please.

-Come, join us. -Please.

-Come. Come on. -Please. Here.

-Shall we? -Is everyone ready?

Dad, one minute. Please wait.

-What happened? -Is anyone left behind?

Wait. Rinky.

-Look. -Hey. -Hold this. It'll look good.

-Good. -Yes.

-It's upside down. -Okay.

This was amiss. Now, it looks better.

Action!

Hello, this is Ballia News. We are at Village Council, Phulera.

We are joined by Mr. Bam Bahadur.

Mr. Bam Bahadur, welcome to Ballia News.

Hello.

Mr. Bam Bahadur, we heard that the legislator is threatening you

and wants you to apologise for what you said.

-He says he'll crush your daring. -He did say that.

What reply would you like to give him through Ballia News?

Reply? He may look at the people standing with me.

If the ex-MLA has any sense in him, he will understand.

He shouldn't mess with Phulera. My name is Bam Bahadur.

My father was Jung Bahadur and my grandpa was Rang Bahadur. Got it?

Daring runs in my blood.

That two-bit legislator thinks he can crush my daring.

He can do nothing!

He couldn't handle a pigeon. How can he handle a constituency?

Damn.
