Short filmTranscript
00:30Baba Nirala's true faith and religion was never linked to any religion.
00:46There was no Gurukul here.
00:50He had spread such a web of power and lust under the guise of an ashram
00:56that it was impossible for anyone to escape his clutches.
01:03Baba Nirala's popularity and the sea of devotees began to drown everyone.
01:09And as soon as the elections came in the state, all the roads began to fly towards Baba Nirala's ashram.
01:17Mr. Ukam Singh, Bapa told me that you need the blessings of the ashram on 20 seats.
01:25Yes, Babaji.
01:27The ashram holds these 20 seats.
01:30So how can this happen without your blessings?
01:34How will the seats be at 5 crores?
01:38Babaji, let's lock it at 3.5 crores.
01:42As soon as the news of the deal with Mr. Ukam Singh came in,
01:45Chief Minister Sundarlal threatened Baba's black letters.
01:49There was no way to stop his cooperation.
01:52So you are arresting me today.
01:55Whatever you think, Babaji.
02:00The threat of the Chief Minister brought color.
02:02And Baba had to promote him through his satsangi stages.
02:08Now, brother, I am not used to politics.
02:11Whoever supports me in devotion, I become his.
02:16Friends, all of us present here are devotees of Babaji.
02:26Babaji is not only a saint who shows the right path, he is also a Yuga Purush.
02:34Babaji, I did what you told me to do.
02:38You put up all the installments and stopped coming to the concert.
02:42But only he is promoted on your stage.
02:45Do you want to climb the stage or the throne?
02:48Let the Chief Minister climb it, let him dance, let him sing.
02:53My entire system is working for you.
02:58Baba smiled at Sundarlal and held the hand of Mr. Ukam Singh.
03:03The bet was right.
03:05Baba smiled at Sundarlal and held the hand of Mr. Ukam Singh.
03:08The bet was right.
03:10And the government was completely trapped in Baba's values.
03:16I, Mr. Ukam Singh, swear by God,
03:19that I am true to the constitution of India established by the law.
03:28A Kshatriya empire has become the most powerful power center of the country, Baba Nirala.
03:36But there is something that is being devoured from within.
03:40Babaji, don't worry.
03:42She won't go anywhere.
03:44The entire system is working for her.
03:46We will catch this scoundrel.
03:48Unable to understand the depth of his magical powers,
03:53a humble girl, overwhelmed by his benevolence,
03:58challenged his arrogance.
04:03You?
04:08You raped me, Babaji.
04:11That too, by making me unconscious.
04:14Is this why I like you?
04:17Unlucky.
04:19You talk straight.
04:22Come to me.
04:25Sit close to me.
04:27Calm down.
04:29I don't want to calm down.
04:32I will go out and tell everyone what you did to me.
04:35I won't keep quiet.
04:37Then go.
04:39Stop.
04:41You scoundrel.
04:43Get lost.
04:45You scoundrel.
04:47I will kill you.
04:49I won't let you go.
04:51I won't let you go.
05:07Breaking his chains,
05:09knocking on his colorful palace,
05:12breaking his unique protective shield,
05:17he had lost everything.
05:20He had nothing left to lose.
05:25And in the silence of his thoughts,
05:28Baba Nirala, wounded by this wound,
05:31was stunned.
05:33He needed Pammi at any cost.
05:46Get him.
05:49Hurry up.
05:51Get him.
05:54Run.
05:55He's not fast enough.
05:57Hurry up.
05:59Hurry up.
06:01Run.
06:03Hurry up.
06:05Come on.
06:06Come on, come on, come on.

06:35Stop!
06:37Leave her alone!
06:40Get him!
06:42Stop!
06:44Stop!
06:46Leave her alone!
06:48Come here.
06:52Let go of her!
06:54Get going!

07:10Yes.
07:13Pammi ji, wrestler.
07:18Japna, what are you thinking?
07:22Will you cut my throat?
07:29This is not right.
07:33Pammi ji.
07:37Rascal!
07:40If you have the guts, come face to face.
07:43I will cut your throat.
07:45Hey! Stop!
07:50I have been talking to you respectfully for a long time.
07:55And you are abusing me.
07:57This is not right.
08:00I will have to punish her.
08:04No.
08:18Pammi.
08:20What happened?
08:22Calm down.
08:24I am here.
08:28What happened?
08:31Calm down.
08:33He will kill me.
08:35Who will kill you?
08:37He will kill me.
08:39Pammi, no one will kill you.
08:41It was just a bad dream.
09:03Pammi.

27:05Please put Babaji's hand on her head once.
27:08It will be good for her only if she gets his blessings.
27:14That's true.
27:16Don't worry. She will get well soon.
27:19I will take Babaji's time and call him soon.
27:23Sanobar.
27:25Where is Mr. Rinku?
27:27Give her some rest.
27:34Mr. Rinku.
27:36She is our new warden.
27:38She is a female student.
27:40Mr. Japnam.
27:42Mr. Rinku.
27:44Let's go, dear.
27:46Let's go.
27:48Mom, can I stay here in the hostel?
27:51Tonight, please.
27:53Yes, of course.
27:55I will give you a good rest.
27:57But here?
27:59I will bring him as soon as you call.
28:01Look, don't worry at all.
28:04Babaji has a great influence in the environment here.
28:08Dear, she will calm down just like that.
28:11Okay.
28:13As you wish.
28:16Let's go, dear.
28:18Let's go inside.
28:23Don't worry. She will be fine.
28:31Babaji, Mr. Zain is here.
28:36Mr. Japnam.
28:38Mr. Japnam.
28:42Welcome to the new government, Mr. Chief Minister.
28:45Babaji, you are our government.
28:47Mr. Dilawar. Mr. Dilawar. Mr. Dilawar.
28:49Mr. Dilawar. Mr. Dilawar.
28:51First, you left Mr. Hukum Singh's party and joined Mr. Sunderlal's party.
28:54But when you didn't get a ticket from the party from there,
28:57you went back with Mr. Hukum Singh.
28:59But even here, your name is not seen anywhere in the list of ministers.
29:03You are very anxious.
29:05Right now, only seven ministers have taken an oath with the Chief Minister.
29:09The department is not deciding.
29:11So, are you sure that your name will be in the final list?
29:16Babaji, I don't know how to answer the public and our elected representatives.
29:21Who will ask for an answer from you?
29:23Babaji, try to understand.
29:25It's been more than a month since Mr. Hukum Singh took an oath as the Chief Minister.
29:30Babaji, I haven't even been able to form a cabinet.
29:35I haven't even been able to distribute the department.
29:37That's the problem, Mr. Hukum Singh.
29:39One pomegranate, a hundred diseases.
29:42If you know the solution to this problem, then it's fine.
29:45Here you go.
29:48Minister's menu card.
29:51I have set all the rates except revenue and finance.
29:54If you get the right drug, let me know.
29:57I will take the interview and get it in 24 hours.
30:00Lowest price, 35 crores.
30:02Is it less?
30:04Let's do a device.
30:10You are the pride of the world.
30:13And the world is proud of you.
30:16Your name, your name, your name, your name.
30:22Your name, your name, your name, your name.
30:27Mr. Hukum Singh.
30:29Mr. Hukum Singh.
30:31Mr. Kaiputli.
30:34Mr. Kaiputli.
30:35No, no, no.
30:37He has hanged him as a pillow.
30:40In the right sense.
30:42What do they say?
30:44Forgive me for using such an expression.
30:46But the public is saying the same thing about him.
30:49That he has become a bell of Babaji.
30:52They are playing him as Babaji wants.
30:55Mr. Hukum.
30:57Mr. Hukum.
30:59He has made him the enemy of the people.
31:02This Baba Nirala and Hukum Singh couple has made him the enemy of the people.
31:06It has been more than a month.
31:08But they are roaming around with the minister's menu card.
31:13The public is protesting.
31:16And here every minister is being shot for his post.
31:20But we will not sit quietly.
31:23There will be a protest on the roads.
31:25It will not work, it will not work.
31:28It will not work, it will not work.
31:30It will not work, it will not work.

39:46Did she come here?
39:52She was wearing a dupatta on her face.
39:54I didn't see her properly.
39:58She was like that.
40:00But I can't say for sure.
40:04Hey, doctor.
40:06You are lying.
40:08Now tell me, where will you tell the truth?
40:11Will you tell it here?
40:12Or will you tell it at the police station?

40:21Okay.
40:27Mr. Bhoopa.
40:29She looked sick and helpless.
40:31Did she get water?
40:33She was here since morning.
40:35No one is able to tell us where she went.
40:38So, she didn't find her without telling us.
40:41She must have found out.
40:43How?
40:45How did she find out?
40:46Manjot.

40:54All the police stations have been alerted.
40:56And the security was tight from the beginning.
40:58I will make it more tight.
