Greetings.
43 dead, 55 injured and 19 critical.
Bomb blast has become so common a thing in the country
that instead of it being breaking news
it no longer qualifies to be even called as mere news.
Yet again the anger of Hindus in India reaches its boiling point.
Everyone is pointing finger at the Muslims staying in the country.
Once again it is being said
that if ever there can be any relation between Hindus and Muslims
then it can only be of hatred.
I would like to ask a question to all of you
and to myself, too.
Samir Khan being a film superstar
rules over the hearts of millions.
In his films, he portrays Hindu characters.
To his millions of fans, I would like to ask
are you not aware as to which religion Samir Khan belongs to?
If we keep believing on this school of thought that despise
and disagreement can be the only bond between the two communities.
Then by the same rationale
Samir Khan should have become this country's biggest enemy.
There are many people who are popular amongst the Hindus.
And there are many names whom the Muslims respect, too.
The fanatic thinking of a few opportunists is
communal hatred.
This is something we all are aware of and understand it, too.
Then why do we let this become our line of thought?
Why?
Just think about it.
Wish you would love me as much as you love Vijay Harshvardhan Malik!
Oh, God! You are obsessed with that man!
I'm not obsessed. I just respect him.
And you must, too.
Hello, I am very busy in my life.
I don't have time to respect anyone.
I know.
More than country's problems, you are interested in tele-gossips.
So? What's wrong in that? Gossip is at least entertaining.
Okay. Let's not start this again.
I still cannot believe
that I am joining Mr. Vijay's channel from tomorrow.
Oh, God! Not again! Give me a break, Purab.
I'm leaving. See you later.
Have a good day!
Today we have an ad shoot for Holay Holay Hair Remover.
I am going to be late tonight so prepare some food.
And please not your favourite bitter gourd curry.
Bye! - Bye.
'Nine months ago'
'the most brutal terrorist attack took place in the country.'
'Responsible ministers assured to tighten country's security system'
'and today again, a bomb blast took place.'
'Even after so many attacks'
'has our system not learnt anything from its mistakes?'
'Or is it that our mistakes have turned into a habit'
'or helplessness?'
'If it is so'
'then this very state of ours is way more dangerous than terrorism.'
Your dad is just terrific!
'Much dangerous..'
Yes, he is.
'Just think about it.' - But the channel is not.
What?
Dad feels
that the solemn duty of the media is to serve the public.
So, isn't he right?
But if the doctor himself falls ill
how will he treat the diseased?
What do you mean?
Our channel is turning into a sick unit, Yasmin.
Lime and Cola doesn't wish to renew their deal with us.
Our TRP have fallen to an all-time low.
That new show we were planning to launch
'Common Man', what about that?
From yesterday, Headlines 24 has launched a new show.
The show is called 'Ordinary Man'.
In today's times, ideas are few and competition is high.
And every person is a potential spy.
It's very difficult to keep a secret.
And it's possible, they too, might have thought of the very same idea.
I don't know these things are hard to tell.
I would like you to take a look at this, sir.
Yasmin, in today's times, business doesn't run on principles.
But Jay, media is not just a business.
You are missing the point.
Just as beauty and garments comprises a business
in the same way, news channels, too, constitute a business.
It needs capital investment.
And wherever money is involved, there is only one motive.
To make profits.
But Jay, your father is highly regarded. Then where's the problem?
Not everyone.
Only educated people like you.
And that makes no difference to my channel business.
And this top ranking channel, Headlines 24
The person who runs it, is neither terrific like my Dad
nor does anyone respects him.
Despite of that, he's on top and ruling the industry.
Who?
A few years ago he was a mere employee with us.
Amrish Kakkar.
Now I realise, the kind of dorks I've been breeding in my channel.
Instead of Headlines 24
You all should be in India 24x7 with Vijay Harshvardhan Malik.
I've told you numerous times to market the news properly!
And listen.
Get rid of these plain looking women
and replace them with beautiful models.
Take them to a beach, put them in skimpy clothes
and then let them present the weather analysis.
People who are interested will watch it.
Remember, presentation is everything.
Presentation is not everything.
Media's purpose is to evaluate the truth
and present it to the public.
Maybe because of our principles
we are lagging behind as compared to other channels
but this is not a race.
If we have to review ourselves, we should question ourselves
as to how honest, talented and unbiased we are.
The answer to these questions is what India 24x7 is based upon.
And it will be so in the future, as well.
Hi, Dad.
The necessity that Prime Minister Hooda
was feeling since many months has today been fulfilled.
What kind of necessity, Dad?
Since a long time, Hooda has been saying that our country
in order to fight against terrorism
needs a much more forceful law than the existing one.
The opposition leader Mohan Pandey doesn't agree with him.
However, after today's bomb blast the opinion polls are saying
that the people of the country support Hooda.
What do you feel, Dad? - I have faith in Hooda.
After many years the country has got a leader like him. I like him.
Yes.
I'll get back to you.
Yes. I said that I'll get back to you.
Your brother-in-law wishes
that India 24x7 should
praise his company.
I'll speak to him, Dad.
'Today Prime Minister Hooda visited Muzaffarnagar'
'and inspected the site where the bomb blast took place.'
'It's unfortunate that innocent people have died in this blast.'
'It's a greater misfortune to me than their family members.'
'Despite knowing the solution to the problem'
'I can do nothing.'
'What greater misfortune could there be?'
'To fight against terrorism this country needs'
'a tough anti-terror act.'
'If we don't understand this now'
'then we never will.'
'I don't know how much we'll keep on punishing the countrymen'
'for our stupidity, in the form of these attacks.'
'Under the circumstances, along with the Prime Minister'
'the entire nation feels the need for tough measures.'
'Despite this, the opposition leader'
'Mr. Mohan Pandey is vehemently opposing the bill.'
'It's a sham.'
'This bill is an outright sham.'
'Taking advantage of the bomb blast'
'it's a novel ploy of Hooda to seize complete authority of power.'
'Mr. Hooda is already busy preparing'
'plans to get the bill passed as soon as possible.'
'So that his government can at once begin abusing law and order.'
'The truth is that Mr. Hooda is trying'
'to take unfair advantage of the situation of fear in the country.'
'This country does not need a new law'
'It requires tougher measures.'
'Mr. Hooda's scheme to become Hitler'
'shall face our full protest with all our might.'
And the award for the best actor goes
to Mr. Mohan Pandey. Cheers!
'Pandey may have his say but after the bomb blast, public sentiment'
'seems to be leaning in favour of Hooda.'
'Mr. Hooda will definitely confront this problem and succeed.'
'He has the country's unshakable faith and support.'
The media is
rather noisily beating Hooda's drum.
What do you feel? What will happen?
Naveen, ask what all won't happen.
If Hooda's continues to charm at this rate
I will never be able to become the prime minister
and you
will never be able to remove your cousin brother
to become the top industrialist.
What do we do?
We will have to do something.
But what?
I feel what Mohan Pandey says is absolutely right.
Hooda is just fooling the country.
Please, Nandita. What do you know about Pandey?
Or for that matter about Hooda? I don't believe it.
People mindlessly form opinions without thinking as to who is what!
Pandey is a..
Come on, Purab. Be fair. I mean the guy is a popular leader.
I don't understand. Who is a leader?
Like you and I, he is just an employee, he's not obliging anyone.
And Nandita, a country functions according to a system.
And you and I are part of it.
I give up, Purab. I give up.
I can never win an argument with you.
Okay, bye!
Wait..
This will give you company in office and here is your lunch.
Bye! - Have a good day.
"Every street is loudly proclaiming."
"All the leaders are robbers."
"Every street is loudly proclaiming."
"All the leaders are robbers."
"They do not value Allah or Rama."
"And the people are cheated."
"India.."
Jay, in the era of computers typewriters are dysfunctional
and your dad wishes to run the channel like a temple.
But he doesn't understand
that people expect entertainment even from the God in temples.
It's getting really.. - Excuse me, ma'am.
Yes? - A Purab Shastri is here to meet you.
Purab? Yes.. Send him in.
So it's getting really difficult..
Hi, Purab. Welcome to India 24x7 - Thank you..
Jay, this is Purab, a new recruit. Purab, this is Jay.
Hi.
So, what do we do Jay?
Just send the papers. I will personally check them. - Okay.
Yes.
Come, Purab. Come.
During the interview your answers were very formal.
Now that you have got the job
may I know what the real answers are?
I mean why did you choose India 24x7?
The answers are the same.
I want to work for Vijay Harshvardhan Malik.
You're his ardent fan, isn't it?
I've learnt a lot from reading his articles and watching his shows.
Now, you'll learn much more here.
Anyway, your work desk is ready.
The middle desk over there. Okay? See you.
Thanks, ma'am. - Ma'am? Do I look so old?
Nalini. Call me Nalini. Okay?
And Purab, the gentleman there is
a person called Anand Prakash Trivedi.
The creative editor of our special shows.
If you wish to know about anything here
just feel free to ask him. All right? Good luck.
'I like guys.'
Not women but guys are saying this.
Don't be shocked.
We are talking about the new trend which has changed
the basic perception and definitions of relations.
What would you do?
What will you do when your son tells you
'Mom, I like guys.'
To know more, watch our today's special feature, 'I Like Guys'.
Anand Prakash?
Trivedi!
Don't forget to change the password after you log in
or else I will steal all your stories.
I have told Mr. Vijay many times
to give me one chance. One chance
to work according to my line of thought.
I will get Headlines 24 shut down.
I have heard Lime and Cola, too, has withdrawn from our channel.
If this continues then India 24x7 will soon
have to cease its operations.
My PR agency without my permission
called up your programming department.
You know, they presumed
that India 24x7 belongs to me.
I mean it.
Listen, I know your dad.
Why would I do it?
How's everything else? - Everything else is good.
You know, Jay.
It's not exactly easy to live with your sister.
To stay with your brother-in-law is..
Anyway, our soap opera will go on forever.
You tell me.
How is Yasmin?
Yasmin?
Her name is Yasmin, isn't it?
And don't try to lie to me.
I have heard about the two of you
and don't ask me from whom. I have my sources.
By the way
I hope you are not serious about her.
Why?
She's a Muslim, right?
And you know mom.
Priya, I love Yasmin.
And sooner or later I will have to tell mom, isn't it?
'With a new story only on India 24x7.'
You won't believe what a joker that Trivedi is!
I am surprised, a journalist like him is working for India 24x7.
Oh, Purab! There are all sorts of people working in every company.
Just relax. - I feel Mr. Vijay isn't aware about it at all.
Trivedi moves about with such lame creativity in that brain of his!
Talking of Mr. Vijay
how was it with the third angle of our love triangle?
Great!
Yes. What did I expect?
And the rest of colleagues?
Nalini Kashyap. She's the CEO. - All right.
A very nice lady. - Is it?
And Mr. Vijay's son, too, was there. Jay Malik.
How was he?
'That gives you grip..'
Let's eat.
No.. - What happened?
Not for me. I've turned vegetarian.
What? Suddenly? Why so?
Just like that. What do you mean?
Just like that or has someone asked you to?
I don't listen to anyone. You know that. So just relax.
The one who does not listen to anyone
always listens to his girlfriend, right?
Girlfriend?
You're too much! She's just kidding, Mom. - Hello?
Yes, I am having dinner. Tell me.
Okay, I'll watch it. Thank you.
Jay, do me a favour please. - Yes?
Can you put on Headlines 24 please?
Please!
Yes.
Thank you.
'In today's age, where an ordinary man, a millionaire'
'and billionaires, too, are soundly sleeping in their bedrooms.'
'We have come across a true angel.'
'In Uttarakhand affected with heavy floods'
'a messiah has come forth amongst them.'
'The CEO of Shankalya Group of Companies, Naveen Shankalya.'
Dad! - Yes, that's your dad!
I didn't know you had
friends in Headlines 24, as well.
Come on, Jay. These are just my PR guys.
They're doing their job.
You know how it is.
Thank you.
By the way, Father-in-law
some investors have come down from London
and they have pots of money
and they wish to invest some money in television news industry.
So, naturally, I have recommended India 24x7.
Jay, I have asked them to meet you.
Naveen, a news channel should not accept
any kind of favours form anyone at all.
There aren't any favours involved, are they?
They are my friends.
They trust my word.
They will do it for me.
Whether someone is doing something for you
or you are doing it yourself, is immaterial.
No one does anything for anybody without personal interests.
There are no free lunches.
Give me some curry.
Sorry.
Look at this picture very closely. This accident happened yesterday
when while fielding, our budding cricketer
Hansraj Singh suddenly got unconscious.
What is the reason that the young bloods whom
we expect to be fit and strong
while playing for India just collapse and fall down?
Why is India's glorious image getting tarnished?
Why is the young generation getting ruined?
To find out more about it, watch our tonight's special feature
'Look, Mom, Your Son is Getting Spoilt.'
Look, Mom.. Your son is getting spoilt..
How was it?
Trivedi, I have told you earlier that I don't like
such presentations.. - Purab?
What if Mr. Vijay saw me?
Yes, sir?
I saw your investigative story on encounter cops.
Intelligent!
Insightful!
And brilliant!
Hey..
I won't wish you luck.
More than luck
you seem to believe in having confidence. Okay. All the best.
Jay, every show has a unique identity.
I am afraid if you stretch it too far it will lose its effect.
And I am afraid that India 24x7 might shut down
if we don't do something today.
Tomorrow we might not get a chance to do something about it.
Dad, I am well aware of your principles.
Keeping them in mind, I have planned all this.
And every one is quite convinced
that these changes are fantastic for India 24x7.
Fantastic, Dad!
Dad. Don't mind me saying this
but along with principles
people who are working for us
we should look after their salaries, as well.
Trust me, Dad. We are not compromising.
We are just changing a bit.
Just a little.
Jay, I do not agree with your changes
but I do understand that we got practical problems.
See as long as we do not compromise on India 24. 7's principles..
No way, Dad. No way!
No principle will be compromised.
I can assure you that. - Are you sure?
Very sure, Dad!
I mean, every show has its own unique identity.
And what you propose to do, might reduce the effect of the show.
Need is to be taken into consideration and not effect.
But if it is not effective, how will it fulfil needs?
To increase the viewership, if we muddle with our existing shows
then we will even lose the viewership that exists now.
When did you join this industry?
What difference does it make?
To know these things
one doesn't always require experience.
I accept that I am new to the industry
but have been a viewer since a long time.
You mean to say
that I am unable to understand the things over here?
Is that what you are trying to say? - No..
You know better than me
but you are only seeing what you want to see.
Why don't you just shut up?
Don't forget you are just an employee in this channel.
And to speak against us..
One minute. Please don't think of my disagreement as my disloyalty.
I know that I am just an employee.
You might not believe me
but I too am keenly interested
in the progress of India 24x7 just like you are.
I said whatever I had to say.
Let dad decide.
Jay is right.
Is there anything else you wish to say?
There are a lot many things.
But will it make a difference? - No.
"Watch news.. Breaking news!"
"Throw out the remote."
"Just watch my channel!"
"Throw out the remote."
"Just watch my channel!"
"Please don't switch to other channels."
"Or else my TRP will drop down."
"Keep on watching"
"the spicy news."
"News that has been altered as per your taste."
"Don't go away.. I mean don't jump to other channels."
"Everybody has to do it.."
"Hey, leave this nonsense.."
"A record of 70 points.."
"On Friday morning, at quarter to ten"
"every one held on to their breaths."
"After the break we will bring you more news."
Jay, listen. Headlines 24 has launched some new shows
exactly like the ones we were planning to launch.
The only difference is that we are still preparing
while their shows are on air.
How?
How come, Nalini?
But..
Can you switch off the music please?
How come, Nalini?
How can that be?
You know how it is nowadays. Ideas are few. Competition is fierce.
And everybody is a bloody walking talking spy camera.
It's impossible to keep a secret.
Amrish Kakkar, too, might have come up with the same idea.
How, Nalini? How?
I don't know, Jay. It's hard to tell. - Crap!
Cheers. - How could it be? - Jay!
I thought I was in control, Yasmin!
I thought.. I thought I was in control.. - Jay..
Jay.. - I thought I was..
Jay.. I don't know what to say, Jay..
It's all over, Yasmin.. - Jay..
Calm down, Jay.. - It's all over..
Think of it as a bad dream and forget it, Jay.
Jay.. - What dream, Yasmin?
I have borrowed 30 crores for these shows from the market.
Now which dream shall I weave?
Which dream?
Calm down, Jay.
Jay.. What are you doing, Jay?
You are hurting yourself, Jay. - It's all over..
It's over, Yasmin. - Jay, calm down..
It's over, Yasmin.
Please don't do this. - It's over. - Jay..
Amrish Kakkar, I won't spare you!
Hello..
Wish you a very happy birthday. - Thank you.
Lata, this is Purab. A very promising young man. - Hello. - Hi.
And I am Nandita.
Wish you a very happy birthday, sir. - Thank you.
Autograph please.
I am not a hero to give out autographs.
Sir, you don't know but many consider you as your hero.
Thank you. - Thank you so much.
Thank you. - Please come.
Come on, Purab! It's not the end of the world.
Sorry, I tripped. - Hi.
Hey, handsome!
Hello.
And you must be Purab's lady love Nandita?
Don't be so surprised.
Purab has told me everything about you.
Officially, I am his senior
but we are best friends now, right? - Yes.
So, we have a mutual admiration society here.
Yes, you can say that. Cheers to us! - Cheers!
Here.
Yas.
She's a friend of mine, Dad.
Happy birthday, sir. - Thank you.
Yas, that's my mom.
Greetings, ma'am.
What did you say her name was?
That.. - Yas.
I'm asking for the full name.
That.. - Yashoda. - Yashoda.
Mom, Dad, excuse us. I'll see you later. - Yes. - Sure.
I'll be right back.
You are Anand Prakash Trivedi, right?
Purab praises you all the time. - It is very kind of Gaurav.
Purab! - Yes, Purab is what I meant.
Aren't you a director? - Assistant director.
Someday you will become a director, isn't it?
Hopefully.
When I'll launch a channel of my own.
Tell me something.
Guess what will be my channel's name?
Don't know, you tell me! - No.. You tell me.
No.. You tell me.
M-My.. My channel will be called
'Sometimes It's Hot, Sometimes It's Not!'
Okay, tell me.
What our show will be called? - What? - Make a guess.
No, you only tell me. - Our today's special
Just keep on watching.. Don't think much!
You know, Ms. Nandita?
I and you belong to the same trade.
How come?
You and I, both make films.
The only difference is
we address our films as news.
Jay? - Yes.
Excuse me. Brother.
Wont you introduce me to your friend?
Yas, this is my sister. - Hi. - Hi.
Hi. - I am Priya.
I am Yasmin.
Yasmin.
Nice to meet you, Yasmin.
Who's he?
Amrish Kakkar.
What's he doing here?
Mom must have invited him.
She's invited everyone.
Even our previous employees.
Let's go that side.
Thank you so much for the invitation, sir.
Amrish you know, I don't celebrate my birthday.
She's the one behind all this.
Well in that case, thank you for the invitation, ma'am.
Thank you so much for coming. - My pleasure.
How's your channel doing?
Thanks to Mr. Vijay, it's doing great!
Please come, Amrish. - Thank you.
Happy birthday, Grandpa.
Hey! Thank you.. - Come.. - Go inside.
Mr. Vijay.
Many happy returns of the day.
Thank you, Mr. Pandey. - Please come.
Ma'am, you did a great thing
by organising this party.
Otherwise Mr. Vijay just doesn't meet anyone.
And especially to people like me.
I am not as bad as you think.
Sometimes, besides Hooda
do say something
be it nice or nasty
on your channel. Right, Naveen?
Mr. Pandey.. - Happy birthday, sir. - Thank you, Naveen. - Come.
Pandey, I can neither speak good nor bad about you.
Media is unbiased.
You are different.
And media is different.
There's a vast difference. Really.
Anyway
let's discuss this topic some other time.
Yes. Please come in. - Please.
Hi.
Amrish Kakkar.
Yasmin.
Lovely name. Pleasure meeting you.
You know something, Jay?
It's a good thing that you came back from America.
Channel needs you.
Mr. Malik is getting old.
After all, son does step in fathers shoes. Right?
It sounds like a great title.
Son steps in fathers shoes.
Launch another show on your channel.
You'll get more TRP.
Thanks for the idea, even though it's mine.
Son steps in fathers shoes! And as things are
India 24x7 is just not used to great TRP.
Why don't you just shut up?
Oh, Jay! This is not happening.
You know?
Such attitude doesn't suit losers.
You should be careful when you talk or else
the people, whom you have borrowed all the money from
I just have to call them once and you along with your channel
will be out on streets.
Jay.. What are you doing?
Jay, let go.. Leave him!
I love you, too, man! Pleasure meeting you, ma'am.
Are you okay? - I'm fine.
I'm fine. - Yes.
Can you please get me a drink?
Yes. - Thanks.
If you want
Amrish Kakkar would never dare to speak to you like that.
If you want it to happen.
If you want, India 24x7's TRP will be so high
it would wipe out Headlines 24 completely.
If you really want it.
If you really want it
then along with India 24x7
entire Indian media will be under your control.
How come?
How?
This Muzaffarnagar
bomb blast that recently happened.
Do you know who actually did it?
Digvijay Hooda.
It's a clever plot of his to plant fear in the hearts of people
and use it to get
the new bill passed.
How can you be so sure
that Hooda has done it?
Hooda has not done it, Jay
it should seem like he has done it.
What do you mean? - I mean the world has changed.
Earlier TV channels used to show incidents that happened.
They used to report.
But now
intelligence and technology
both have evolved to such an extent
that you can actually create news.
That's where you come in, Jay.
But according to the law
it's treason. - Law!
Laws were not made by God sitting in heaven.
Laws were made here on this very land.
To prevent ordinary men from becoming great men.
Some very special people like me
have made these laws.
And while making them, great care was taken
that we don't get trapped by them.
You see, Jay. We have 6 other channels
who are willing to do anything for this offer.
Right, Mr. Pandey? - Yes.
Six other channels. But we want India 24x7 to report this.
Why?
When you want to bring down the country's most reputed leader
put him against the country's most reputed media personality
and we have a winner.
In this case
it's your dad.
Jay, by the time things are investigated
it will be too late. But if your dad
whom everyone regards as the country's cleanest
and most reputed journalist
when he will report this
it will shatter people's faith in Hooda.
Jay, you need TRP.
Besides, the 30 crore loan that you have taken from the market
we will pay it off and that's not all.
Mr. Pandey promises to give you another 100 crores.
Yes.
An ideal deal is the one which benefits both parties!
All your troubles will be over in a jiffy.
Think about it.
One more thing
if your stupidity
or your conscience
stops you from joining us
you better stop your tongue, too.
Because there must be some reason that I am Mohan Pandey.
Where did you go?
You know how many times I called you?
And you were just not picking up.
Jay!
So, what's wrong, Jay?
Jay.
Jay, what happened?
You made the right decision.
Now we have to arrange for a man
whom we can show along with Atul Kumar Dubey.
Atul Kumar Dubey? - Hooda's right hand man!
The entire India knows about it.
If Atul Kumar Dubey is Hooda's man
why would he favour us?
With a gun pointing on your head
you can make anyone say anything.
Gun point? - Let Pandey handle all that, okay?
But Brother-in-law.. - Yes?
We can't hold him at a gun point for ever, right?
No, of course not..
But Pandey will come out with some way to do it.
By threatening to kill his family members
or by offering him pots of money or by using some other pressure.
Whatever..
See.
By then our job will be done.
Believe me.
Pandey is much more experienced in these matters than us.
He knows a lot, okay? Trust me.
Because I trust Pandey.
But brother-in-law, will this look real?
Sometimes you make me laugh.
You're a media person. Do you know how films are made?
Just think that we are going to make a film.
Okay? A short film.
A five minute short film. Without any frills.
Straight to the point.
Don't worry.
'Last night in the Muzaffarnagar bomb blast case'
'a criminal called Abdul has been arrested.'
'According to police, Abdul named a person'
'called Khanna during the interrogation.'
'Abdul confessed that Khanna had paid him 50 lakhs for this job.'
'Police is now searching for Khanna.'
'But who is this Khanna?'
Dad.
Guess what I got?
'Mr. Hooda was little nervous.'
'And he was tensed that hardly any men died'
'and whether the mission will be succeeded'
'or not?'
'But these news channel made so much noise'
'that our job was done.'
'So is Hooda happy now?'
Very happy. - What is all this, Jay?
I, too, was shocked, Dad. - 'He told me give Khanna Rs. 5 crore.'
He is the same Khanna who is being searched by everyone, Dad.
Same guy. - 'You will get the money along with it.'
'Thank you, Mr. Dubey.' - Where did you find this CD?
Someone sent it, Dad. Addressed to me. I mean..
'If you have any other work..'
We should air this right now, Dad. - No..
What? - To accuse a leader like Hooda is not..
What are you saying, Dad..
It's obvious that Hooda was behind that bomb blast.
And this Atul Kumar Dubey, who is talking with Khanna
is one of Hooda's special guys. Everyone knows that.
Everybody knows that including you.
Yes, but without any proof how can you.. - What proof, Dad?
What proof are you talking about, Dad?
What proof are you talking about..
We are media people, Dad.
And it's our job to put whatever truth
that we find in front of everyone.
This is the truth, Dad.
This is the truth.
And Dad, by the way
whoever has sent us this tape
it's quite possible, rather I am sure of it
that he must have sent this truth to other channels, too.
Dad.
We are running out of time.
Running out of time, Dad.
Dad.
Not for me, not for yourself
not for India 24x7
but only for the people of the country
you have to expose this at once, Dad.
You owe this to the country, Dad.
You owe this to the country.
Dad?
Yes.
Yes, Dad.
Government is on the verge of acquiring unlimited power
in order to tackle crime and terrorism.
It's a matter of pride that the prime minister of the country
has tightened his belt to tackle terrorism.
But I am sad to say this
that all this was just a sham
a trick, a lie.
What you are about to see now
is the actual terrorism
and a fearful aspect of the Indian political scenario.
India 24x7 presents, 'A Truth'.
'Mr. Hooda had become nervous and tensed.'
'He was tensed that not even 100 people were dead'
'and whether the mission would be successful or not.'
'But the channels made such a big noise that our job'
'was done. - So is Mr. Hooda happy now? - Very happy.'
'He told me to give Khanna another 5 crore rupees. - Wow!'
'It will reach along with this.'
'Thank you, Mr. Dubey. This is just great.'
'And tell Mr. Hooda that if he needs something'
'then do remember Khanna. - Sure, I will, sir.'
We all know who Atul Kumar Dubey is.
Member of Parliament
and the most loyal friend of Digvijay Hooda since many years.
All this makes it a good enough reason for us
to believe every word that Dubey spoke for his friend Hooda.
Do we have any other choice besides believing it?
Yes. - Why didn't I get this tape?
I didn't know about this, at all. I had no clue. Oh, shit!
Today I won't plead you to give it a thought.
I am confident
that you have seen everything, absorbed it
and understood it, too.
'In breaking news today we will show you a video clip.. - Today..'
'The truth was revealed..'
The entire nation is in a state of shock.
The facts exposed by India 24x7 has
shaken the public and the elite.
Digvijay Hooda's one of those chosen few leaders
who had built a clean image of an ideal politician
on the platform of Indian politics.
But now that image has been shattered to pieces.
The picture of Prime Minister Digvijay Hooda that has surfaced
is certainly fearsome.
Vijay Harshvardhan Malik and his son Jay Malik
under whose supervision this operation was executed
has caused tremors in the political world.
We have just been informed that the police has found
member of parliament and Digvijay Hooda's dear friend
Atul Kumar Dubey's corpse. He has been murdered.
I don't know any Khanna.
But do you accept that you knew Atul Kumar Dubey?
Atul Kumar Dubey was one of my close friends.
Atul Kumar Dubey was your friend.. - Sir, please tell us..
...and Khanna was his friend. - Sir..
So, isn't he your friend, too?
No. Absolutely not.
For a moment, let's assume that Atul Kumar Dubey knew Khanna
then it doesn't necessarily mean
that I, too, was associated with Khanna.
Sir.. - Mr. Hooda.. - Move from here..
In our breaking news Digvijay Hooda accepted the truth.
'Hear it once again.'
'Atul Kumar Dubey was one of my close friends.'
'Was one of my close friends.'
'I too was associated with Khanna.'
'Atul Kumar Dubey knew Khanna.'
'Atul Kumar Dubey was his close friend.'
'The prime character of Prime Minister'
'Digvijay Hooda's sting operation, Khanna is missing.'
'Entire nation wants to know the whereabouts of Khanna.'
'This revelation has ripped open the curtains'
'covering the corrupt political links.'
'Is Khanna really missing?'
'Or is he being hidden?'
'The famous film maker Bobby Bhatt has announced'
'that his next film is entirely based on this scandal.'
'Sir, we are again asking you, where is Khanna?'
'Welcome to our special section, Who is Khanna?'
'The biggest character of this entire conspiracy, Khanna'
'where is he?'
'Hooda repeatedly claims that he does not know Khanna.'
'After the startling revelations made by'
'Vijay Harshvardhan Malik'
'Digvijay Hooda's throne is in danger.'
The more deadly a crime, the more
dangerous methods are used to hide it.
And when the person responsible
for collapse of the government, disappears
then you can judge the extent to which the criminal has gone.
Where is Khanna?
But more than that it's necessary to ask that who is Khanna?
Dubey and Khanna.
Their existence could have been dangerous for us.
That's why Mr. Pandey had to..
Jay.
There are two kind of people in this world.
Lions and lambs.
In order to rule
it's necessary for lion to sacrifice a few lambs.
You want to be a lion or a lamb?
You have to make this decision for yourself.
But after you make the decision
it would only be stupidity to waste time on lambs.
Get me a drink. "It's a battle.."
"The one who doesn't sell his conscience"
"is himself sold in the open market."
"If you ask your heart"
"you will surely repent."
Wow, I have never seen Mr. Vijay this happy before.
Purab?
What happened?
Khanna was present at Mr. Vijay's party.
Which Khanna?
That Hooda's man?
I saw him at the party.
But, how can you be so sure?
When I saw him on TV, I got a feeling that I had
definitely seen him somewhere before.
Then I remembered, I had seen him at Mr. Vijay's party.
Purab, have you gone mad?
How can you be so confident that Khanna was present at that party?
These are some photographs taken at the party.
Mr. Vijay or one of his family
members might have invited him to the party.
Or maybe he came along with some guest.
With whom?
Maybe with Mohan Pandey.
No, Purab, listen to me.
There's no need to play Sherlock Holmes in this mess.
Police is searching for Khanna. Let them do their job.
You just do your job. Better still leave this job.
Purab, did you hear what I said?
Who besides Mohan Pandey can get
maximum benefit by Hooda being removed?
We were searching for terrorists outside the country
as we did not expect them to be right here amongst us.
We trusted him with our safety and the future of the country.
And he did this?
To tell you the truth
I am deeply ashamed to stand here in front of you all.
No, I haven't done anything. I am not guilty.
But yet I find it difficult to hold my head up.
Since I, too, am a leader.
And the word leader is now associated
with traitors like Hooda.
You might be thinking that I have come here to ask for your votes.
No. I do not want your votes.
Mohan Pandey does not want votes.
Mohan Pandey does not want politics.
He does not want to be a leader.
He doesn't even want the throne.
Then what does this Mohan Pandey want?
Mohan Pandey wants
this country to be safe from hounds like Hooda. That's it.
Today the country does not need this Mohan Pandey
but Mohan Pandey needs this country.
A country where there is peace in the heart
and truth on the lips.
'Mohan Pandey does not want votes.'
Telecast this speech on every 10 minutes.
'Pandey Does not want Leadership..' - All right? - Okay.
'Does not want this chair either.'
It looks as if India 24x7 has turned into
a private PR channel for Mohan Pandey.
After Hooda's scandal, Pandey's popularity has increased, Dad.
People want to hear more of him.
People want to see him
and I think we are just showing people what they want to see.
I don't see anything wrong with that.
Besides, he is fetching us great ratings.
And Dad..
It's not what you think!
I think we are doing fine, Dad.
See you around, Dad.
Dad..
There's something I wanted to speak with you about.
Can I? - Yes.
I had introduced you to a girl on your birthday party.
Yas.
Yashoda.
Do you remember her? - Yes.
I want to marry her.
I love her
and.. She is a Muslim.
Marriage is not just between a boy and girl.
It's between their families, too.
She doesn't only have to be with Jay.
She has to stay with us, too.
I won't let a girl from another religion to be part of..
What do you know about her religion?
As far as I know, you have never read the Quran.
Why should I read it?
All I know is that our religions are different.
Then will you tell me what's different between us and her?
What do you mean by that?
We go to temple, they go to mosque.
We celebrate Diwali while they celebrate.. - Eid.
They celebrate Eid.
Just like you like wearing saree but Priya doesn't.
You don't like your curry to be spicy
and Naveen doesn't even like curry!
We all are of the same religion then why are we so different?
Don't try to manipulate me with your talks!
It's not about that, Lata.
It's about understanding. We are different people.
We have our own way of living.
Every way is a religion in itself.
Naveen according to his religion
I according to mine, you according to yours
and Yasmin according to her religion are living our lives.
There are no Hindus or Muslims.
There are only humans.
Just understand that you are not just being against Muslims
you are also being against Jay's love.
"Hail India.."
"90 out of 100 are bloody dishonest."
"Commits fodder scam and yet walks proudly."
"90 out of 100 are bloody dishonest."
"Commits fodder scam and yet walks proudly."
"The ones who are mighty, their wrongs become right."
"My India is great.."
"My India is great.. - Hail India.."
Hi. I am making a documentary on Mr. Vijay Harshvardhan Malik.
And a book too, is releasing along with that.
Your company did the event management for his birthday.
Can you please give me the guest list of the invitees to the party?
It will be a great help if I can have those details.
"One contests election while in jail.."
"Others buy votes.."
"Then he speaks the truth.." - Thank you.
"A leader speaks the truth only when he is accused by others."
"My India is great.."
"I love.."
"My India is great.."
"I love.. My India is great.."
"I love my India!"
"Gandhi.."
"Gandhi.. Hail Gandhi!"
"Gandhi.."
Four Khannas came to the party.
But the Khanna everyone is searching for is not amongst them.
That means Khanna came to the party along with some guest.
Or maybe Khanna is not his real name at all.
Why would anybody use his real name for such an operation?
Purab, have you gone mad?
Don't you know how dangerous people like Mohan Pandey are?
They will finish you off and no one will ever come to know.
Like they whisked off Khanna
they will whisk you off, too.
Please, Purab, if not for yourself
for my sake, please stop all this.
And what's worse is that India 24x7
is showering that Pandey with praises.
I can't believe it.
We are not talking about the movie 'Karz'
that was directed by Subhash Ghai
or which is the speciality of Himesh Reshammiya.
We are talking about the debt in which
you and I are slowly drowning into.
Look closely, my friends.
You'll realise that the credit card companies
have become our investors.
And we are entrapped by their
marketing policy and have become debtors.
And that's not all.
Some of the companies are hiring underworld to recover debts.
You will never know when a goon with a pistol
will pop up in front of you
and then pop you off.
Keep watching our special feature
'Bleed Dry in this Debt.'
I am planning to launch 2 more channels soon - Yes, sir.
Both the channels will offer hard core entertainment. - Fine, sir.
Your kind of entertainment. - Thank you, sir.
Nalini. - Yes?
Pandey wants to give an exclusive interview to India 24x7.
Will you send Purab? - Yes, sure. - All right? - Okay.
Mr. Pandey, for past 30 years you have been involved in politics.
Politics is a wrong and also a dirty word.
Instead, I'm serving the country. I am a public servant.
The way things are going it seems
you might be the next prime minister.
What new measures will you take for the country?
Name? - Purab.
Purab, first of all
we will win
the battles that we are fighting. - Which battle?
Battle against terrorism.
Against corruption, poverty.
Battle against dirty politics. We will win it.
Mr. Pandey, we have heard these words before.
Every politician..
I mean, every public servant
makes similar claims during elections.
We would like to hear something new from you.
Farmers who are committing suicides..
We have heard that too, Mr. Pandey.
Terrorism.
I declare against its.. - We have heard this too, Mr. Pandey.
Say something new.
What new things are you ranting about?
The problems are so old. What am I supposed to do?
Problems are old
but solutions can be new. Right, Mr. Pandey?
Mr. Pandey
you spoke about waging a war against criminals
what will you do to the criminals who are in politics?
We will finish them. - You'll finish yourself, too?
What?
From 1972 to till date
102 cases are registered against you.
Amongst them 34 are criminal cases, 25 are land dispute cases
and the rest are fraud and foreign exchange violations.
What could be the reason
that so many cases are registered
against a clean public servant like you?
What's your name, dear? - Purab.
Tell me your full name, dear.
Purab Shastri. - Purab Shastri.
Are you from Uttar Pradesh?
How does it matter? - It does matters Mr. Shastri.
You are from my part of the country.
How long have you been in Delhi? - You're being interviewed not I.
Dear, answer my questions.
3 years. - 3 years.
You were in college?
He studies politics very minutely.
Our country needs young blood like you.
Come and join politics.
We will help you, right?
Interview is not over yet.
Good bye!
You were sent to interview him and not to investigate.
You are just an employee, behave like an employee.
When instructions are given to you, just follow them.
Over smart! Nalini!
Send somebody else to interview Pandey
and just dump this man's interview.
And consider this warning as my last Mr. Purab.
Last.
You must understand that at the end
of the day you and I are just employees.
What can we do?
Khanna.
Khanna was present at Mr. Vijay's party. - What?
Yes.
The very same Khanna who is an accused in the Hooda scandal.
He was there at Mr. Vijay's birthday party.
But Mr. Vijay has questioned Khanna's identity on TV.
If he doesn't know Khanna then what was he doing at his party?
Purab, did you tell this to anyone else?
Thank God.
Look, Purab, this is a very sensitive issue, all right?
Don't speak about this to anyone without asking me.
Voting countdown has begun. The nation is weighing
whom to hand over the country's future.
The opinion polls or the popularity graphs have their predictions
that the only deserving candidate for the Prime Minister's chair is
Mohan Pandey.
India 24x7 correspondent
Anand Prakash Trivedi spoke with Mohan Pandey.
Greetings! I am your host, Anand Prakash Trivedi.
And you are watching our special feature
'One Who Wins is the One Who Rules.'
Mr. Pandey, welcome to India 24/7. - Thank you.
Sir, it is almost decided that you are
going to be India's next Prime Minister. How do you feel?
What do I say? - Go on. Tell us
Fruits of dedication taste sweet.
How sweet?
Very sweet. - Is it?
Okay, my friend, it tastes very sweet.
Now you are talking.
In this exclusive interview on India 24x7
Mohan Pandey has admitted
that when he is about to become the next prime minister
the victory tastes very sweet. Not only that, but he's finding it
to be something incredible.
Don't go away. We will bring you the real sweetness in a moment
after a very small break.
Mr. Pandey, the people of the country wish to know
what is the first thing you will do after you become prime minister?
There is so much work to be done..
Yes, but what's the very first thing you will do?
The first thing? - Yes.
It's not easy to tell.. - Please tell us.
The very first thing..
Yes, tell me what you would do?
Yes! I will take a dip in the Holy Ganges.
You just heard Mr. Mohan Pandey reveal in
the exclusive interview to India 24x7
that he will take a dip in the Ganges.
Yes dear friends, the country's next to be prime minister admits
he will take a dip in Ganges.
And it's time for a small break.
But don't you move away from the TV
as Mr. Mohan Pandey will be speaking
a few words of appreciation for Jay Malik from India 24x7.
I am certain that Khanna has ties
not only with Pandey but with Jay Malik, too.
Jay is launching 2 more channels.
The inside buzz is that Pandey is funding it.
Hooda's elimination brought a huge advantage to Pandey
and it's bringing benefits to Jay, too.
'I need to meet you urgently.'
'Who is this?'
'Khanna.'
No you tell him that I will meet him at..
Okay, just hold on a second, please.
Jay can I call you back please? - Brother-in-law, wait!
Jay, what is it?
I got a message. - Message from whom?
Khanna - Who Khanna?
What do you mean? The same one.
Khanna.
But that's not possible.
Okay. Hold on, I'll confirm it with Mr. Pandey..
Listen I'll have to call you back. Okay?
Yes, tell me, Naveen.
Mr. Pandey, Jay called me. He said he got a message from Khanna.
Which Khanna? - Mr. Pandey, the same Khanna.
I killed him myself. - Are you sure?
Mr. Pandey, are you sure?
Are you sure?
Could he be alive?
Jay, it's impossible. - Then who could it be?
Then who could it be, Mr. Pandey?
How can I say about how many Khanna, Jay might know?
Could it be some other Khanna?
I know just one Khanna.
Pandey, Jay knows only one Khanna.
Tell Jay to relax. - Jay, relax. - But..
But Pandey.. - Relax, don't worry.
Okay, Mr. Pandey.
Jay, just relax, okay?
What happened, Jay? - Yas..
I just need to go somewhere urgently..
You take a taxi and go home. - But what happened?
Nothing, I mean..
I just need to go somewhere.. - But tell me something, at least.
I just need to go somewhere, why don't you..
Okay.
I'll see you later. I'm sorry.
Take care.
Purab.
It's me, Nalini.
Somebody wants to meet you.
Nalini was praising you a lot.
She told me that you
regard Mr. Malik as your ideal.
Even I used to
and more than you.
The moment camera rolled
he became the messiah of the nation.
Sitting in the studio, he used to act as if he is running
a social service organisation instead of a channel.
Purab, my rationale tells me that Hooda is innocent.
Someone has played a smart move
which has brought benefits to him
and also to the sinking India 24x7.
India 24x7 was going bankrupt but look now.
Father and son together are winning all the awards.
And he is planning to launch two more channels, as well.
I just wish to tell you
that you are not alone against this sham.
Nalini told me that you are investigating on your own.
If you find any proof
then give it to my channel, I will rip open the truth.
Purab.
Don't just look at the truth and think about it.
When it's needed, speak it out, as well.
"This country dwells in misery. Our hearts bathe in the blood."
"It's all a myth. Dreams are woven by lies."
"It's the battle between darkness and light."
"He's lost from his way. He lives a lie."
"It is a battle. A battle of truth."
"It is a battle.."
"In the search of a truth"
"truth itself has been defeated."
"The history"
"is drenched in blood."
"The annals of history have been bloodied!"
"We too, are controlled"
"by the mighty."
"What if we drown?"
"The obsession is all consuming."
"It is a battle.. A battle of truth."
Purab, I know Amrish is not completely clean.
But to expose the truth
you will have to take help of some channel.
And if the truth happens to contain lies of India 24x7
then Amrish is the best you have at the moment.
Just think about it, Purab.
You don't have much time. Give it a thought.
Khanna was Jay's man.
Purab.
Now watch.
How I fix Pandey, Jay and Malik.
All these years they were roaming around with masks
I will tear them apart.
You just watch my show tonight.
Just watch and enjoy how I pull everybody's pants down.
How much do you want?
500 crore.
Don't you think it's a bit too much?
Don't you think, it's too less for a price of a nation?
There's one more copy lying with my channel.
If I do not return
things will be made public.
I like you.
I like you more.
'Hooda's truth has been revealed. But there was one more truth'
'that never came out.'
'That was Mohan Pandey's truth.'
'Mohan Pandey was the only leader'
'who had gauged Hooda's designs of corruption'
'and selfishness much earlier.'
'This election victory is his well deserved reward.'
'If there is one person who truly deserves to be country's head'
'it's only Mohan Pandey.'
'Headlines 24 wishes Mohan Pandey..' - What is he saying?
'...heartiest congratulations for this victory.'
God.
Hey, Purab.. Relax.
I thought a lot.
What would we gain by exposing Pandey?
A few TRP.
Our channel will once again become number one.
Right. Okay. Excellent, fantastic!
That's what we want. But
can we compare it to 500 crores?
Surprised, aren't you?
I know 500 crores.. It's..
500 crores is a huge amount!
I opened my mouth and asked for it.
Can you blame me for it? But think.
Why would this Pandey give me so much money?
Why?
You know why?
Because even the smallest kick back of a large project scam
runs into thousands and crores of rupees.
Now if the prime minister of the country
turns out to be a smart player
just think how much he will make in the 5 year test match.
It's unbelievable.
And Pandey will get that same bill passed.
Poor Hooda!
He truly wanted to get the bill passed
to increase the national security.
Instead, Pandey will get the very same bill passed
and become country's king.
It's a fantastic game, my friend. Don't you understand it?
And these Pandey's buddies, Naveen Shankalya and Jay Malik
they are all ready and set to loot this country.
The Minute Pandey becomes prime minister
Naveen Shankalya will manipulate the industrial policies
so that it benefits him and only him.
And then his dream
to remove his elder brother
and become India's top industrialist will be fulfilled.
And as for Jay Malik
without him
this entire operation was impossible.
Do you know
while Pandey's men held Dubey on gun point
and Jay Malik himself
directed Khanna and Dubey on that tape.
Can you believe it?
And you know what?
Now Jay is going to launch many more channels
and all those channels
will be in favour of Mohan Pandey.
Oh, boy! You know, Purab, you are talented.
You are young, you are talented. But..
Talent alone is not enough, Purab.
It's not enough.
One must know the right place to apply one's talents.
You should know where to use it.
You just don't start butting in anywhere anytime. No!
You use it sensibly.
If you want
you can have a bungalow for yourself in one week.
If you want instead of this bike
you can travel in a posh car.
If you want
you can produce that film for your dear girlfriend.
All you got to do is decide. That's it.
It's all in your hands.
Here..
I'll give you 10 crores rupees.
Moreover, we have got it because of you.
And if you want a job in my channel..
Any job.. Any salary..
Fine with me.
I need sharp minds like you.
What about the people of the country? - What?
Which people?
Yes, Purab, tell me which people?
Those people who are thirsty for each other's blood
over petty issues like religion, caste. Those people?
They are all busy trying to make money.
You are concerned about those people
who don't care for others?
Who don't care even for themselves.
Why are you so bothered about their well being?
Why should you care?
Think about it.
I am with you.
Good that you understood
otherwise even I couldn't save you from Mohan Pandey.
Lata..
Is this fine? - Since when have you started to dress up?
Why? What do you mean?
He is my son and as his father too has the right
to look presentable.
And please change this sari you have worn.
Its colour doesn't match with my 'Sherwani'.
Hi, Father-in-law.
Is this the time to come? Family should arrive before the guests.
You know.. - No.. I don't want any excuses.
Naveen can you just
look after the band and all the dancers and everything?
Yes, will do.
Hello, Nalini. - Hello, sir.
I have to say that you are looking absolutely stunning.
Congratulations to you, sir. - Thank you so much.
Trivedi!
Come here.
What is this?
It's a bouquet, sir. - Speak in Hindi.
It's a bouquet, sir.
Why did you get such a huge one?
I couldn't find a smaller one.
Had you found a smaller one, you would have brought that?
Yes, sir. - Oh!
It means you were going to bring a small bouquet
for my son's engagement?
I wanted to get one even larger than this.
Then why didn't you bring it? - Couldn't find it, sir.
Didn't find or didn't want to bring?
No, sir. Why would I do such a thing?
I respect Mr. Jay the most. - Oh really and what about me?
Tell me the truth, whom do you respect more? I or Jay?
Trivedi, I was pulling your leg.
Jay! - It could be a bit..
Come on, let's dance. - Come on..
Hurrah! - Let me..
Hey, it's fine..
Hurrah!
Hey, Purab. Come on..
Come on..
Speak straight what you wish to say.
Pandey did the bomb blast. Not Hooda.
What? - If you do not know this
then possibly you also wouldn't know
that Khanna was not Hooda's man.
He was your son Jay's man.
And Naveen supported Jay on every step.
Whom all are you accusing? Have you gone mad?
I'm not mad but I've been fooled. And not only me
the entire nation has been fooled by this circus
created by India 24x7.
I am seeing you for the past 10 years.
I have been hearing and studying you, as well.
You inspired me to become a journalist.
And today I have come at a stage where I am suspecting you.
But what do I do now?
The evidence that I found left me with no other option.
I thought..
I thought you too are a part of the scam.
Or maybe you have believed your son, Jay.
One should not accuse anyone without proper evidence.
I learnt this from you, sir.
That's why I have brought an evidence for you.
Maybe it has got something, that you don't know.
Or maybe it has got nothing, that you don't already know.
If you think of it as trash, just dump it.
If you want to burn it then do burn it.
Till date, I was convinced that nothing can stop
the truth from coming out.
But not anymore.
I won't be surprised by anything that you decide.
As I have reached my conclusion.
I have lost the battle, sir.
That's why I quitting Not just India 24x7
but journalism too.
'I thought a lot.'
'What will we gain by exposing Pandey?'
'Few days of great TRP.'
'Our channel will be number one, again.'
'But..'
'Does all of that stand anywhere close to 500 crore?'
'Surprised, aren't you? 500 crores! God!'
'It's a huge amount.'
'Now if the prime minister of the country'
'turns out to be a smart player'
'how much money would he make during a test career'
'of five years.'
'It is unbelievable!'
'Can you blame me for it?'
'I opened my mouth and asked what I wanted. But think'
'as to why would this Pandey'
'be ready to give me so much money?'
'Why?'
'I will tell you!'
'Because even the smallest kick back of a large project scam'
'runs into thousands and crores of rupees.'
'Poor Hooda'
'truly wanted to get the bill passed'
'to increase the national security.'
'Instead, Pandey will get the very same bill passed'
'and rule the country.'
'It's a fantastic game!'
'The minute Pandey becomes the prime minister'
'Naveen Shankalya will turn around the Industry policies'
'so that it benefits him and only him.'
'And as for Jay Malik'
'Pandey's men held Dubey at gun point'
'and Jay Malik himself'
'directed Khanna and Dubey on that tape.'
'Where did you find this CD?'
'Some one sent it to me.'
'And it's our job to showcase whatever truth'
'we find, in front of everyone. That's it!'
'Not for me. Not for yourself.'
'You owe this to the country, Dad.'

Pandey!
Congratulations to you!
He is there!
Mr. Vijay.
Congratulations Mr. Vijay.
Hearty congratulations!
And thanks to you as well.
It's only due to you that Mohan Pandey
has got this opportunity to serve the nation. It's true.
I kept on saying that Hooda is a crook
but no one believed me.
You too did not believe me.
Jay found the evidence at the right time.
By the way, Mr. Vijay
I have chosen the site of the bomb blast as the venue
for my oath taking ceremony.
So that the people are assured
that during Mohan Pandey's tenure
those incidents will never again happen
that Hooda government allowed to happen.
Today the entire nation is with me
and it's not only mine
but people's wish too
that Vijay Harshvardhan Malik himself should
present Mohan Pandey's oath taking ceremony on his show.
I just can't believe that you are going to do this.
Mohan Pandey definitely has some charisma.
I shouldn't be praising myself but
I have played a major part in convincing dad.
And you wait and watch, Mom
Mohan Pandey is here to stay.
Am I right, Dad?
Mohan Pandey is here to stay.
Oh, it's late. Dad, I'll see you at the office.
I have a lot of arrangements to do. It's a big day for me.
And Dad.. I have one more good news.
India 24x7 is shifting office. We got a bigger place.
Bigger place. Bigger thoughts, Dad.
See you in the office, Dad.
See you, Mom. - Bye!
The wedding is fixed for the 10th of next month.
We spoke about it just today.
Did you hear what I said?
You didn't hear what I said.
Long live Mohan Pandey! Long live Mohan Pandey!
"It is a market where stories are sold."
"Sell every bit of the flesh."
"Draupadi has no qualms, now."
"There is suffocation and defeat."
"The slaughter yells of it."
"You are caught in a trap."
"There is no way to go."
"It is a race! It is a race! It is the race of the truth."
Dad, Mohan Pandey has reached for taking the oath.
The stage is all set for you to present
India's next Prime Minister.
Dad! Dad!
Long live Mohan Pandey! Long live Mohan Pandey!
India has two eyes of its own.
One represents the Hindus and other represents the Muslims.
If you see with only one eye
you will see an incomplete picture
And if you see with hateful eyes, the vision will be hazy.
If we want this country to make great progress
it is necessary that both the eyes are open.
And they should not only be open
but they should also be oozing affection and brotherhood.
I want to make it clear to all of you that
I am going to create a new identity of this glorious country.
It won't be created with the tools of corruption.
It will be carved with tools of truth and solid intentions.
Five, four, three..
Two, one.
Sir, we are on air.
I have always believed that
the face which you see on the television is
the face of trust.
It is the face of truth.
But today I am sitting in front of you to admit something
that on 21st November I had told you all
a very dirty lie.
A lie which caused the dismissal of Digvijay Hooda's government.
I am aware that there could be no redemption for such a crime.
As of now, all I can do is
show you all some pictures.
In these pictures you will see
the real truth of my lie.
This person is the same Khanna that I repeatedly kept asking
about his identity.
And now watch the same Khanna.
He is present with my own son, Jay Malik.
'Khanna.'
Khanna was neither Dubey's man
neither Digvijay Hooda's.
Khanna was my own son
Jay Malik's old friend.
These pictures were shot
when Khanna and my son Jay were studying together in America.
Our Channel, India 24x7
kept asking again and again about Khanna.
Who is Khanna?
While all along Khanna was actually my son's old friend.
He was my own son's old friend.
Now watch few other faces and
other twists of this conspiracy.
'What do we gain by exposing Pandey?'
'Few days of great TRP. Yes!'
'Our channel will be number one, once again. But..'
'it is not even remotely close to 500 crores.'
'I opened my mouth and asked what I wanted.'
'Why?'
'Because even the smallest kick back of a large project scam'
'runs into thousands and crores of rupees.'
Nandita - 'Now if the prime minister of the country'
'turns out to be a smart player'
'just think how much he will..' - Nandita come soon.
'I, Mohan Pandey.. - Swear on God.'
'I swear on the almighty..'
'That I will honour..'
'The constitution of India.'
'And sovereignty of India..'
One minute please.
Mohan Pandey wanted to become the Prime Minister of this country.
Naveen Shankalya wanted to become
this country's biggest industrialist.
Amrish Kakkar was just taking an advantage of the opportunity
and Jay Malik..
Jay Malik wanted
India 24x7 to become the country's number one news channel.
This is the story of selfishness of some special characters.
Jay, if you are watching me right now
understand clearly that
you have betrayed only me and not the country.
It is me who has betrayed our country.
In this entire conspiracy if someone is guilty, it is me.
It is me.
I.
All this became possible only because of one medium.
Because of the misuse of one medium.
That medium is called India 24x7.
My own channel
India 24x7.
What Jay did was an extremely condemnable act.
He did it knowingly and I did it unknowingly.
But what was the reason for it?
First, there is a government
then comes the industrialists who produces wealth for the nation.
and then the politicians.
Some from the ruling party and some from the opposition.
It is their basic duty towards the common man of this country
to maintain a stable and well defined system.
So that everyone can progress without any fear or hindrance.
But how well are these people fulfilling their duties?
How will the common man come to know
whether these people are fulfilling them or not?
For precisely this very purpose, media was born.
But when the government and the media
in the race to achieve power strike a deal amongst themselves
news are no longer reported but created.
Then whom should the public place their trust on?
On the news channels?
Who instead of reporting news are telling tales of snatching power?
Where instead of reporting serious facts
sensationalism is being sold for the sake of TRP?
In a democratic nation
everyone has the right to look after their interest.
But we the media people
have given up our right to be the unbiased voice of truth
and have started to act as per the government's convenience.
Just why?
Why have we changed our role?
Who will report the news in what manner to be the first one.
All the media are competing with each other in this race.
This race is not about just surviving in the news market.
But a race to prove themselves to be faster than others
to remain ahead of others.
This has morphed into a race, whose aim is success vs money.
To remain ahead in this race one requires
more and more viewers and high TRP
which translates into high advertising revenue.
And that is nothing but enormous wealth.
Enormous wealth!
Here, the true objective should have been news
and medium should have been money.
Instead of that now money has become the objective
and the news merely the medium.
My son Jay got trapped into this.
By punishing me and my son
and the other characters of this story
will merely finish one chapter, not the problem.
Till the time, we do not keep a noble institution like media
away from power, greed and money
many more Jay will keep coming into existence.
Since it is we who create systems.
It is we who possess the strength to change the existing conditions.
For past 30 years, I have been fighting this battle
but haven't been able to win it.
I couldn't win.
But Purab
I want to remind you
that it is you
who has shaken up the entire nation.
You have stopped one wrong step from prevailing.
You understand this firmly that you have not lost.
You have become victorious.
And the victory that you have achieved today
it is your duty to uphold it.
Your duty.
From India 24x7
with sincere apologies and deep regret for all
I, Vijay Harshvardhan Malik
am signing out for the last time.
I am signing out for the last time.
Greetings!
Jay tell me what was the need for it?
What am I.. What am I supposed to do?
Could you please tell me?
Tell me, Jay, tell me. Speak up, tell me.
Jay, leave my hand.
Jay, you are hurting me. Jay..
Jay, leave my hand.
Jay, what are you doing? What are you doing, Jay? Jay, no!
Jay!
Jay, listen to me..
Jay, I want to talk to you.
Jay, open the door.
Jay! Jay!
Jay, are you listening to me? Jay?
Jay, listen to me! Jay! I want to talk to you. Come out!
Jay, open the door!
Jay, stop this nonsense. Jay, stop this nonsense!
Jay!
Jay! Jay!
Jay, open the door. Jay!
I am going away and taking Tinu with me.
Don't ever try to contact us.
Yes, Mirchandani.
He is the best criminal lawyer of the country, right?
Call him.
Listen.. Listen.. Hello! Hello!
He's still the best, right?
Call him.
I have quit India 24x7.
Just came to inform you about it.
All the best, Amrish!
A new channel named 'True News' that has been launched
I got an offer from them. I'm going there.
All the best.
Hello? Yes, who is speaking?
Yes. Yes, sir.
I'll be right there, sir.
