India's biggest state,

Uttar Pradesh.

In this most popuIated

state of India...

everything is in excess.

There is a Iot of richness,

and a Iot of poverty.

There is a Iot of honesty,

and a Iot of cheating too.

DayIight crimes is

commonpIace in this state.

There's onIy one ruIe here;

the one who has power, ruIes.

PoIitics was born here.

Every city here has

its own identity.

City of factories,

Ieather, shoes...

purses, utensiIs, toys for

chiIdren, and eIders too.

SmeII any amateur or professionaI

criminaI, bandit, sharp shooter...

or highway thief's gun carefuIIy.

You wiII get the smeII of

some street of this pIace.

One such street is Amanganj.

BeteI Ieaf and tobacco stains

and urine sprays on waIIs...

denote the cuIture here.

There are more arms in every home

than there are chairs to sit.

The more buIIets one has,

the more buIIying he does.

A vote bank of 1200000.

No party wants to

controI things here.

Everyone is happy. Everyone

thinks everything is systematic.

When man makes his own system,

he is most happiest.

There are factories here that

produce not products,but criminaIs.

- Aunt, save me!

- Just you wait!

Where are you running away?

Stop!

- What happened, chiId?

- Babbad is beating me.

I'II kiII you if

you caII me Babbad.

Mother, teII her not

to caII me Babbad.

She is stiII smaII,

so she pronounces r' as d'.

- I'II puII out your tongue!

- Hey!

Look mother, despite warning

her, she is teasing me.

How Iong before dinner

It's aImost ready, mother.

Stop her going

Mother, eat the whoIe cake.

Go Chhutki, give it to mother.

BaIIi, you are not saying

anything today.

Cat got your tongue?

What to do?

No one Iistens to me.

So it is better to remain siIent.

Why do you aIways say such things

then? - I say what I see.

I'd say, whenever you see a wiId

dog, you must change your path.

How many paths wiII we change?

They are present in every street.

The onIy soIution is to pick

a stick and break their heads.

How many wiII you kiII?

others wiII reaIise!

Or we are Iosing the shop today.

Tomorrow, we'II be Ieft homeIess.

So what shouId we do? Join them?

ShouId we pick up guns,

resort to bIoodshed?

We wiII have to do it, or peopIe

Iike KaIe PaheIwan...

You think KaIe PaheIwan is aIone?

He has a whoIe team.

So what? Even we are six brothers.

Take mister.

- Thank you.

Good day.

- Good day.

Greetings Sarfaraz.

- Great! AsIam Katta is here.

How are you, AsIam.

I'm seeing you after a Iong time.

I keep coming and going.

I've come onIy ten days back.

Why? You had gone out somewhere?

- No, I'd gone in.

Kid, go and get tea. Quick.

That too, in my way?

- I'm sorry.

- No, it's nothing.

Imtiaz, you teII me.

- He's KaIe PaheIwan.

He is eying our shop

since many days.

That's no issue. Want us

to settIe things right now?

No, don't do anything Iike that.

It's our personaI matter,

we wiII sort it out.

You don't interfere.

Why are you staring at me?

Are you new here?

KaIe, don't teII them anything,

they are my guests.

Who are you? Why don't you speak?

Keep your hands away.

- Or what wiII you do?

KaIe... KaIe... Ieave him,

he's just a kid.

No.. stop your men.

What's going on? Someone come

forward and stop this fight.

KaIe, no... no!

Oh God!

And thus, the fire raging in

the heart, reached the head.

And so began the journey of

Sarfaraz and Imtiaz's crimes.

This is my move.
