Mohini!
Hi.
Should I call the nurse?
No, please, it is fine.
- Your colleagues are waiting outside. - That is fine.
They are used to this.
Are you okay?
Yes. I am good.
You...?
Actually, I heard about this on the news.
I thought I should come and see you.
What exactly happened?
Nothing.
I am defending the accused in a murder trial.
The suspect is slightly mentally unstable.
So he reacted in court the other day and...
I literally had to defend my own client.
It is okay. Nothing too serious. Just...
So much happened. And you are calling it nothing.
Still the sweet boy.
Since college days.
Never spoke to anyone much.
Just class, library, and back.
And look at you now.
A hotshot lawyer.
It is hard to believe.
You have changed so much.
How?
I do not know about hotshot.
But I do know this. If you find the right mentor.
You gain purpose and direction.
All thanks to Mr. Daruwala.
But he was not the only one who inspired me.
There were a few in college as well.
College?
You.
Me.
Your presentations.
Your arguments.
Top-notch.
I always thought. I have to beat this girl.
Strange.
You never mentioned this in college.
You did not mention it even when you saw me in court.
Yeah, I saw you in the court?
Yes. I...
What are you doing these days?
I am a housewife.
- Oh... - Kids?
No.
And your husband?
How is he? What does he do?
He is a businessman.
He is doing fine.
I... should meet him.
Maybe.
Sorry to interrupt.
But the meeting time is very short.
Yes, of course.
I will take your leave.
Take care.
I will see you again.
How will we meet outside?
How will you contact me?
Do you want to feed your number?
Sure.
Bye.
Take care.
Cannot wait, can you?
Was that Mohini?
Yes. That was Mohini.
Mohini who?
Sir, this is a special offering from Lord Hanuman.
The remover of all obstacles.
You know I do not believe in all this.
But I will take it. To respect your faith.
Sir, how are you feeling now?
Much better.
Goldie, any information on Deva?
No idea.
Where could he have disappeared?
The police have no information. Neither do we.
Anyway.
I am going to meet Sudarshan.
Sir, that will be very difficult right now.
No one is allowed to meet Sudarshan. Until he is declared fit.
He is also under very strict surveillance.
Please get some rest.
You rest. Leave the rest to us.
Relax.
- Amar, have you lost your mind? - I have to meet Sudarshan.
What are we achieving by staying here?
There is no trace of Deva.
Sudarshan is not ready to speak.
Let us go to the office. And get some work done.
Sir, we...
You go get a prescription from the doctor.
And tell him the patient has fled.
And listen, Goldie.
Find out which doctor is treating Sudarshan.
I want to meet him.
And get me something, guys.
- Sir, you... - He is not going to listen.
Let us go.
I clearly told you that Sudarshan is in no condition to testify in court.
But you did not listen.
- Look, madam... - You lied to me.
You promised to bring Sudarshan back. Within an hour of producing him in court.
I will complain to your higher authorities.
So, my dear children.
Only two paths are possible here.
Fight.
Or study.
If you fight.
You will be transferred to another jail.
If you study.
You can get out of here early.
And earn an identity in the world.
Did anyone read the books I sent?
Yes, sir.
Very good, Goldie.
Then tell me.
Which is the highest court in this country?
High Court.
Wrong.
But very close.
Sit down.
Would anyone else like to answer?
Yes.
The Supreme Court.
Smart kid.
Study hard, son.
In three years.
I will take you out of here.
Okay.
What is your name?
Amar Vishwas.
Amar...
It is an illusion. Your Honour.
This is not possible.
Senior Advocate Digambar Dixit.
In Advocate Amar Vishwas's chamber.
No one will believe this, sir.
What can we do, Amar?
Everything depends on timing.
By the way. How are you feeling?
Better, sir.
Good. Very good.
These are for you.
That is very kind of you, sir.
Please, have a seat.
What you will have?
Tea. Coffee. Green tea. Or beer?
No, no. Nothing.
I just came to check on you.
Getting there, sir.
Good.
But this was quite unfair to you.
Very Shakespearean.
The lover of the person you are trying to save.
Attacked you.
Not good.
Get well soon.
I will see you in court.
DD, sir.
Yes?
You want this chamber. Do you not?
Excuse me?
I know you like this chamber a lot, sir.
But perhaps you do not know this. If you just say the word.
I will vacate this chamber for you.
What are you doing?
Trying to bribe me. Into getting off the case?
You think?
I am just trying to remove the bitterness
you carry against me.
You mean to say.
We both came up under the same wing.
Daruwala's.
Of course.
You became his blue-eyed boy.
And he gave you this chamber. Before he passed away.
Is that it?
You think you can give me this chamber?
He gave it to you in charity.
I am only saying, sir.
Despite being professional rivals.
There should be mutual respect.
Mutual respect?
That is a strong phrase.
You know, Amar.
My grandfather was a lawyer in the Supreme Court.
My father was a High Court judge.
That is why I pursued law.
And I studied relentlessly.
I studied relentlessly. I topped the university.
The government had to award me a scholarship.
UK.
LLM.
I topped that too.
When I returned to India.
I assisted three senior advocates.
Eventually.
I got a small chamber in Mumbai.
I fought thousands of cases.
Won dozens.
Lost a few.
That is part of the profession.
That is how I reached this level.
And you...
Forget it?
Finish it, sir.
Vent out all your animosity.
Do not pity my condition.
Alright.
Since you are asking so politely. I will say it.
Even after killing your father,
you got all this.
On a silver spoon.
Gifted by that emotional fool. Daruwala.
Daruwala...?
Everything was handed to you on a platter.
How many cases have you fought?
Five hundred?
And you compare yourself to me?
You know what.
You are nothing but a nepotistic bastard.
That is all you are.
The man who gave me this chamber. In charity.
Also gave me some advice. Free of charge, sir.
A good lawyer never judges.
What can I do, Amar?
Before being a lawyer. I am a human being.
I do get hurt.
Alright, sir.
Just one request.
Please do not vent your hatred on Bahar.
How is Bahar connected to any of this?
That is my job.
This is personal.
And do not try to teach me how to do my job.
Anyway.
I will see you in court.
May I come in, sir?
Yes. Come in.
Khandekar, is it true that Dr. Tara advised you
against producing Sudarshan in court?
Yes, sir.
Khandekar, I need to report to my superiors.
Why you should not be suspended.
What should I tell them?
What were you thinking. When you took this step?
Sir, first I thought about my department.
Watching it get humiliated in court every day.
Judge madam ordered three times.
That Sudarshan be produced in court. Under any circumstances.
Failure would invite action.
Against the investigation team.
Then I thought about Bahar Chakravarty, sir.
Even though none of the allegations against her have been proven.
She is still in jail.
Because we could not find Sudarshan.
And finally. I thought about myself.
Because you warned me.
That I would be transferred. To a remote, isolated posting.
If Sudarshan was not produced soon.
Why so serious, Khandekar?
Just say it plainly. You were doing your duty.
Every police officer must remember one thing.
If you act.
Fewer fingers point at you.
If you do not act.
Many more will.
But one finger.
Will always point at you.
Go back to work.
Close the case quickly.
Before the CBI steps in.
Understood?
Yes, sir.
Jai Hind, sir.
Jai Hind.
- Aslam. - Greetings, Amar sir.
Find anything?
As instructed. Through my nurse.
I placed twenty-four-hour surveillance. At Akbar's residence.
From there. We confirmed that Akbar lives with a woman.
And an eight or nine year old child.
Is this information confirmed?
Absolutely confirmed.
Thank you, Aslam.
Again?
Are you stalking me?
Objection.
I came here first.
But
please, be my guest.
How are you feeling?
Good enough to be a gentleman.
Thank you.
So what are you doing in court?
Frankly. I had no idea you were practising.
Alright, then.
These are my divorce papers.
I received them today.
I had no clue.
I am really sorry.
Kesavananda Bharati V/s State of Kerala.
Bill Clinton V/s Jones.
Civil lawsuits.
Your final-year presentation.
For which you also won an award.
You still remember?
I never forget a defeat.
Thanks to your presentation.
I did not win the award that year.
We all knew you were destined to become a lawyer.
No, really.
Destiny.
After marriage.
My life revolved around cooking.
Supervising the maid.
Mutual funds.
Health insurance. Travel planning.
I did everything in life.
Just not for myself.
And whenever I spoke about a career. Instead of household chores.
I was told that I am very beautiful.
If a criminal attacked me in court.
What would be my defence?
My mother-in-law believed.
If my husband did not eat my cooking.
He would fall ill.
So I was responsible for his health.
I was made to feel guilty.
For no fault of mine.
I can imagine.
I hope you are doing better now.
I do not know what to say. I have no words.
It is in the past now.
Let us leave it.
Anyway.
Tell me about yourself.
How come you are still single?
Maybe I like it this way.
Meaning?
So there was no one in your life so far?
I never said that.
There were.
In different phases of life.
There were different people.
Then what happened?
I just never found anyone.
Who made me feel.
That I wanted to spend my entire life with her.
And the one who did.
Got married.
Now there is no one in my life.
Constantly pestering me to get married.
So maybe I have just grown used. To this life.
Or maybe...
Maybe I am afraid of commitment.
I am commitment-phobic.
How can anyone spend their entire life with one person?
It feels unreal.
Even I have started wondering.
How anyone can spend their whole life with one person.
If society overhears this.
We will be boycotted.
Coffee?
Black coffee.
Black coffee?
Sudarshan,
are you not from Kolkata?
I am from Kolkata too.
My house is near the Howrah Bridge.
I miss Kolkata.
It is impossible to find food like Kolkata's in Mumbai.
Aloo bhaja.
Jhaal muri.
Puchka.
Sandesh.
And cham cham.
Do you want some?
I made them myself. Go on. Eat it.
Eat it.
It is alright.
I miss Bengali theatre.
You do not get that in Mumbai.
Have you ever been to Rabindra Sadan?
I love Badal Sarkar's plays.
Pagla Ghoda. Shesh Naai.
I have seen them dozens of times.
Do you like Bengali songs?
You must have heard this one.
[Bengali song]
It is alright.
Get some rest.
I will come back later.
Okay. I will keep these here.
Madam...
Sandesh?
Would you like some?
Eat it.
Take it.
Mother?
Thumpa?
Do you want to meet them? Your mother? Thumpa?
Do you want to meet them?
You will meet them.
You will meet them soon enough.
Is it nice?
- Yes? - Hi.
My name is Goldie.
I am from Advocate Amar Vishwas's firm.
May I speak with Afreen?
Regarding what?
Regarding the Jessu Momin murder case.
Without proper legal permission.
I will not allow you to speak to my daughter.
- Look. I only wanted to... - And listen.
Do not bother us again.
Otherwise. I will be forced to take legal action against you.
The report looks normal to me.
There is considerable improvement.
He will be fine soon.
Do not worry.
Sudarshan.
Someone is here to see you.
Who, ma'am?
Do you want to meet her?
Son.
- Son. - Mother.
- How are you, my son? - Brother.
What happened to you, son? What happened?
Thumpa.
Say thank you to this madam.
Say thank you to her.
Thank you, ma'am.
Do not thank me.
Thank defence lawyer Amar Vishwas.
He arranged all this.
Amar... Amar sir.
Afreen's condition looks quite serious.
They are leaving now.
Then follow them.
Yes, Amar.
Khandekar, I have sent you a photograph.
The woman in the photo is Fatima Ansari.
The girl's name is Afreen.
They both attend the same rehabilitation centre.
Where we found Mahesh.
Please find out.
Whether Mahesh knew them.
I will check. And call you back.
Suchitra ji.
This is Mr. Amar Vishwas.
Hello.
Thank you. Because of you. My son recovered very quickly.
I was under tremendous stress in Kolkata.
But you handled everything here.
I am just doing my job.
She handled everything.
How are you, Sudarshan?
This is a gift from you.
Sorry.
Will you answer a few questions?
Yes.
Sudarshan.
Who told you that night.
That Bahar was going to meet Jessu Momin. At Hotel Sun and Beach?
Achala?
Bahar is going to meet Jessu. At Hotel Sun and Beach.
It was Achala, sir.
Achala texted me and said.
Sun and Beach Hotel. Room 111.
Jessu and her...
What happened to you. In Room 111 of Hotel Sun and Beach?
How did you disappear?
Sudarshan. Try to remember. What happened in Room 111?
I do not know, sir.
Alright.
Did you see him at the hotel?
Him?
No.
Him?
No.
Her?
Where are you going?
Careful. What are you doing?
Come on. He is not in his senses.
