[Sanjay] ‘Few months ago, a report by Mumbai SIT..’
‘..regarding the stamp paper case..’
‘..was exposed’.
‘The report alleged the involvement of many big names in the case.’
‘And yet, there has been no significant movement in the case.’
‘Now, well-known social activist, Datta Dada..’
‘..has filed a PIL which includes all these names.’
‘It remains to be seen what happens next in this case.’
‘Sanjay Singh, with cameraman Stanley, for LBTV Mumbai.’
[Datta] 'Look, this isn't a trivial matter.'
It's a serious matter concerning the safety and integrity of the nation.
Because the people who we expect to protect...
...the constitution of the country...
...are the ones who have become the country's enemy.
That's why for common people like us...
...the judiciary is the only hope.
And I'm hopeful that the honourable High Court...
...will take the necessary steps in this matter.
Dada, what if the verdict is not in your favour?
That won't be the end of the battle.
You're all with me.
People like Sanjay Singh are with me.
I'm not the only soldier in this fight against corruption.
Even if I die in the process, the fight will continue.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd applauding]
If Halani takes my name, I'll get into trouble.
[crowd cheering]
How many stars are there on your shoulders?
Take a look at them. Count them.
You'll get some confidence.
I've applied for VRS. I'm going to retire.
If at such time, my name gets linked to this case...
...then there are going to be consequences.
Folding before you retire hurt. Good.
Very good.
If you're getting too worried, take a break.
Go to Thailand.
A spa is a great place to get back some chutzpah.
In fact, you should go to spas even after you retire.
Spa-Chutzpah. Understood?
[crowd applauding]
[Announcer] 'And the winner is...'
...Ramesh Achrekar!
[Deosaheb] 'It concerns the party's image. It's the year of the election.'
'We can't take a risk.'
We must hand over a big fish to the SIT.
He's scared of Halani.
Actually, he should be scared of us, shouldn't he?
[Abdul] 'SIT in Maharashtra given complete power.'
[Title Montage]
Madam, watch me win this round.
Oh, no!
- One, two, three... - [phone ringing]
Oh, no.
You continue playing.
Yes, tell me, Abdul.
What's this new drama in Maharashtra now?
There's an old man, Datta.
He’s got nothing better to do than file PILs.
And what about Jaisingh's team being given complete power?
Who will Jaisingh arrest?
Bade Jadhav? CP? Halani? Or me?
[Dombe] Nothing will happen. Just relax.
This SIT is actually S-H-I-T. Shit.
Good day, Abdul.
Wow! Whose turn was that?
My turn.
Sir, you...
How can I help you, sir?
[journalists shouting]
We too have an SIT.
You meet Johar.
We'll have to take some action against this.
I understand, sir.
Criminals have no space in our civilised state of Karnataka.
JK is in Hyderabad and Zuben is in Kerala.
I've shifted the machines in Thane, Nashik and Belgaum.
The press in Mumbai is functioning.
Sachin and Bade Jadhav are not taking our calls.
[Kamble] 'The others aren’t ready to listen. What do we do?'
Kamble, we must do something that forces people to listen to us.
But what is that?
We must change the public’s perception.
Prove the chain of crime.
Prove that I haven't done this alone.
Some very important people are involved in this case.
They all did it too.
There's a group that has done this...
...so that the focus is not just on me, but on them too.
[Abdul] The pond filled with black money was black and dirty.
But for the public, they were pretending to clean the pond.
The ones who had been caught..
..were only the small fish.
The big fish were in Delhi...
...celebrating their alliance and national win.
Where money may lose sometimes, but power never loses.
This was, is and will continue to be the norm.
[Faridabee] Abdul.
I have no peace because of all the news about you.
In the papers, on the TV, in the locality...
You're the talk of the town.
People get paid to talk about this, ammi.
They feed their families because of me.
[Abdul] Just ignore it.
Who taught you to lie so much, Abdul?
It wasn’t me.
Earlier it was just illegal work, Abdul.
But now, you’ve taken a life?
What are you talking about, ammi?
By saying this, you've proven how much you trust me.
[Abdul] You believed all this to be true?
No matter how bad your child is, you're my mother.
At least ask me how I'm doing.
At least tell me how you're doing.
Forget about the crimes and accusations for two minutes, ammi.
I'm taking care of myself.
You should also start taking care of yourself.
Your ammi doesn't have a lot of time left.
Come and meet me once.
[Abdul's mom] You'd sing really well when you were a child.
It's been 25 years since I heard you sing.
Come and sing for me once.
Give me back...
...my little Abdul.
[Suryapratap] 'We don't have much time.'
He manages to get away every time.
I'm telling you, sir. Let's break his head.
A narco test is easier than doing that.
[Radha] 'Narco test?'
Sir, narco test has hardly been tried in this nation.
[Radha] 'Perhaps, two to three times.'
- [Radha] 'And its not--' - ..admissible in court. I’m aware.
But the narco test is not for implicating Abdul.
'It’s to dig into the network in his brain.’
[Johar] 'How big it is, who else is involved...'
There's still time. We must increase the scope of our investigation.
Madam, there is one more problem.
We won't get the court's permission without Abdul's consent.
[Radha] 'He's refusing to answer our basic questions.'
'Why would he agree to a narco test?'
[Kamble] 'Suryapratap and his team have submitted an application for a narco test.'
'Do not sign the consent form.'
No matter how much they pressurise you, don't sign it.
What is a narco test? Tell me more.
Go through this.
It is a consent letter.
What do you need my consent for, sir?
Narco test.
You want to conduct a narco test?
With your consent.
Sir, this test has been conducted only twice in our country.
There are 15 pages.
Why, how, when... You'll find the answer to everything.
Read it at ease. I'm right here.
This means you'll inject that... What do you call it? Truth serum.
You'll inject that into my body and I'll start talking like a parrot?
It's a scientific method. It will happen under the supervision of experts.
[Abdul] We must change the public perception.
You signed it without reading?
I may be an ordinary man, sir...
...but my story is extraordinary.
And it isn't over yet.
[Abdul whistles]
[Nurse] 'Telgi, which politicians were involved with you?'
‘Which politicians were involved with you?'
The... politicians...
...are many.
I cannot... name them.
[Nurse] ‘I'm asking you, which political people have you helped?’
- Hmm? - Yes...
‘Which political people have you helped?’
‘I'll keep it secret.’
P-Politicians are...
...backbone of the business.
[Nurse] ‘Who are these politicians?’
‘Telgi.’
Mr. Jadhav...
Mr. Sheikh...
Mr. Dhumal...
I... I’m afraid that somebody may kill me.. kill..
These politicians.. kill me..
[Reporter] 'A video footage has been leaked of Abdul Karim Telgi.'
'The footage is of a narco analysis test being performed on him.'
'Let's have a look at the video to find out the names taken by him.'
Who are these politicians? Telgi?
[Abdul] Mr. Jadhav...
Mr. Sheikh...
Mr. Dhumal...
I believe Mr. Telgi...
...is a mere pawn in this stamp paper scam.
Actually, it is not a scam. It is a chain of crimes.
And in this entire crime chain...
...some big players are involved.
Ammi.
It's time to take your medicines.
Abdul?
I understand what you want to ask.
We'll talk later. Get up. Take your medicines first.
Careful.
This tablet.
[Zia] 'Ammi.'
What happened?
[Nafisa] 'Why do you look worried?'
I don’t feel good here, please talk to abbu.
[glass shattering]
Ammi!
We waited a long time for you.
We had no choice.
♪Little bird, oh little bird...
♪Quietly, secretly...
♪Slowly, come to the garden
♪Become the apple
♪Of my eye
♪Little bird...
[train honking]
Is this the only place you could find to bury ammi?
Near the train tracks?
You took peace away from her soul.
At least I was here. Where were you?
If you were so worried about ammi...
...you should have stayed with her.
I lived with her until the end. I looked after her.
What did you do?
Forget about ammi, what did you do for your own brother?
Huh?
What? What are you staring at me for?
I'm not asking for charity. It's what I rightfully deserve.
I've worked as hard as you.
You're talking about rights over ammi's grave?
You're talking about money? Don't you have any shame?
Do you know how much I spent on the funeral? You talk about shame?
I took care of the expenses of the entire funeral.
At least pay me for this, if not anything else.
- Give me. You must have something. - You want money?
- Hey, Abdul! Don't touch me! - You want money!
- Abdul, don't hit me! - You were an a*****e...
...you are an a*****e, and you'll always be an a*****e!
Ammi died because of you!
Shut up!
Get lost!
Please come. Have a seat, Sir.
I...
...wanted to ask you a question.
Go on.
If I wrote an autobiography...
...which states all the information that only I'm aware of...
...will you help me?
What kind of help?
Sir, in that book, I’ll name each person that you want to arrest.
[Suryapratap] 'Mr. Telgi.'
I hope you're not planning a new scam.
No, sir, I'm serious.
But in order to go to court against the people that you mention...
...I'll need concrete evidence.
I'll give you the evidence.
Name, address, time, everything.
I'll give you every single detail, sir.
Okay, then.
But if you expect something from me in return, then I'm sorry.
I won't help you.
I will only ask what is fair, sir.
I can't promise anything. Maybe justice?
Justice?
Justice for whom?
[Abdul] 'Justice for what?'
I haven't ruined anyone's life, sir.
I haven't destroyed anyone's home.
I've made all my money from the government.
I never stole from a common man...
...like the government does everyday.
The money that you've made by stealing from the government...
...is not your money.
[Suryapratap] 'That money belonged to the same common man...'
...that you're talking in favour of.
That money could have been used...
...in welfare schemes for the poor.
Schools, colleges, hospitals could have been constructed.
But what did you do?
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Sir, the poor people you talk about...
...I've lived through their poverty.
Sir, these welfare schemes...
They are useless. Just pieces of paper.
The government never gave anything to me.
I was born in a slum. I was raised there.
I ate people's leftovers. I defecated on the railway tracks.
In our country, a poor man neither gets to eat nor to shit.
The system that kept us poor...
...I used that very system to get rid of my poverty.
I made money.
If I hadn't broken this system, the system would have broken me.
Don't get me wrong, sir.
I'm a patriot too, like you.
But patriotism doesn't get food on your plate.
I'm a graduate.
But after college, I could utilise my education today...
...in lecturing you.
Sir, handing over the case to the CTI all of a sudden...
...could raise doubts among both public and media.
I think it should be done organically.
We should just remove Jaisingh and Suryapratap.
Everything will fall in place.
Sir, for now, the court has given them full authority.
The only good part is that...
...they can only investigate in two states.
Sir, FIRs have been filed against Abdul in 20 states.
If multiple PILs are filed against him from every state...
...then the matter will ultimately reach the supreme court.
I mean, the same case cannot go on in 20 states simultaneously.
In this case, logically, even the supreme court...
...will have to hand over this matter to a central agency.
Which means, CTI.
[Judge] 'There have been multiple petitions filed across the country...'
'...to look at the widespread scope of stamp paper scam.'
'So, the inquiry needs to be handled by a national agency...'
'...and not by individual state agencies.'
'Therefore, all SIT to be dissolved...'
'...and all the cases are to be handed over to CTI.'
[Kamble] Nafisa has been summoned to the CTI court for a hearing...
It’s another tactic to make sure I keep my mouth shut.
But I’m going to show them.
Look. There’s only one way forward.
Compromise.
I’m talking out of experience. This might settle the case.
Nafisa! Nafisa!
How are you, my child?
- I'm fine, abbu. - Zia.
Go sit in the car, dear. I'm coming.
Rahim bhai, take me there.
How are you?
I never thought things would escalate to this extent.
When I first met you, I was happy with your broken slipper.
At least your feet were on the ground.
How long? How long will this go on?
- I'll end all this soon. - Be quiet.
- I'll end this soon. - Be quiet.
Don't talk. I don't want to listen to anything from you.
[Nafisa] 'I've been quiet since three years.'
I haven't answered any of Zia's questions.
Remember what you said?
No one knew your father.
But your daughter must forever be known by your name.
I want to set things right, Nafisa.
It's better that I go away from your lives.
You... divorce me.
Divorce you?
How would that help?
You'll end your relation with me...
...but you'll still be my daughter's father.
[Nafisa] 'She'll always be under threat...'
...until your name is associated with her, for life.
You want a divorce?
I... I want to set things right.
Just give me some time. I'll set everything right.
If you really want to do something, bring an end to all this.
End it.
Not for you or me, for Zia.
For your daughter.
She deserves a normal life.
But hurry up, Abdul.
Your mother's dying wish was to meet you one last time.
You didn't fulfil that.
Please fulfil my dying wish.
Confess to your crimes, Abdul. All of them.
We want to be free from this humiliating life.
Let's go, Rahim bhai.
Honourable madam.
This case has been a never-ending tornado in my life.
And I want to end this today.
So, today, I'm here to confess...
...that the whole stamp paper scam operation...
...was designed and executed...
...by me.
[crowd murmuring]
I'm the only person...
...responsible.
Respected madam.
[Abdul] 'I repeat myself.'
'It was me, and only me.'
'There is no one else.'
'The narco test and some other tests...'
'...performed on me were fake.'
'And all the names I've taken during these tests...'
'Let me clear...'
'...that I've never...'
'...met them, ever.'
[Abdul whistling]
Sir.
I've been sitting here since evening.
I'll be made to wait here until the official court orders arrive.
If you have any questions, go ahead and ask.
I'll ask the first question off the record.
You took risks all your life.
Then why didn't you take the risk of taking the names...
...of Bade Jadhav and Deosaheb in court?
Sanjay sir, have you ever been in love?
Love is like hitting a six.
A six in cricket, that is hit out of the stadium.
Many guys act as fielders around a girl.
Sometimes the girl's family even throw a googly.
But we need to be on the front foot and hit a shot...
...that would stun all fielders and ballers.
The ball goes out of the stadium, and our love becomes eternal.
Well said, but that wasn't the answer to my question.
Sir, I didn't take a risk because I was in love.
[Sanjay] 'Can we go on record?'
Mr. Telgi, till before yesterday, you were saying...
...you're being framed, and suddenly you said...
...you want to plead guilty.
Why the sudden change?
Sir, I have already told you that...
...I have asked my wife.
My wife says that, when she came in the morning...
She said she'd talk to me only if I confessed to my crimes.
That's why I made this decision.
But you took everything on yourself.
Is someone pressurising you?
No, sir, no one's pressurising me.
In fact, all pressure is released today.

What's this?
The documents of all of Abdul's properties.
Also the details of his bank accounts.
What are we going to do with this?
Ammi, this belonged to abbu.
Zia, I know how much you loved your abbu.
Despite knowing what we had to go through because of him.
But the truth is, he had sold his integrity a long time ago.
Don't be deceived by the 2000 people that came to his funeral, dear.
I know you feel terrible hearing this.
The truth may be bitter, but it is the truth.
[Nafisa] 'He thought he wasn't harming anyone...'
'...because he was stealing from the government.'
'But he did.'
'You and I are still suffering.'
'Every scammer...'
'...starts his scam in his house, by telling lies.'
'And when he's caught, his family gets the biggest punishment.'
'Black money is cursed.'
'When one treads on the wrong path...'
'...he destroys not just himself, but his entire family.'
Sir, it is known to the world, not to me only.
It is left to all the agencies...
Those who are involved...
They won't let them get away. They'll continue investigating.
Sir, as far as this business... This has come from long way..
It has come from the British time.
It was, is, and will continue.
There’s nothing new to it. People have changed but the business is same.
But nobody has been convicted in the way that I have been. Yes.
And still it is going on. We can’t say it has stopped. No.
I’m sorry to the whole nation.
And I’m sorry to those who were directly and indirectly wronged in this.
