He has to pay for the services we rendered so far.

How must I run this place?

My fees will be payable when he's able.

Mr. Damji.

Can you please put those envelopes back where they belong?

By the way.

Your appointment has been confirmed for Sunday.

And payment of fees has been postponed indefinitely.

Thank you.

Hari. - Yes.

You're reading this romantic novel?

You prefer love stories?

Son, let go of these fantasies

Read inspiring biographies of great men, not romances

Excuse me.

Have you lost something?

Yes.

Is this it?

Yes.

She's so beautiful.

Mr. Gandhi. See this.

How can you keep both of them apart?

They look so lovely.

Ms. Liscent.

Can you please arrange to get...

...Gulab Gandhi to South Africa as soon as possible.

Mark it urgent.

"Come O married woman."

"Let's celebrate this auspicious occasion."

"Let's celebrate it..."

"...in my courtyard."

"Come O married woman."

"Let's celebrate this auspicious occasion."

"Let's celebrate it..."

"...in my courtyard."

"Come O married woman."

"Let's celebrate this auspicious occasion."

"Let's celebrate it..."

"...in my courtyard."

"Come O married woman."

"Let's celebrate this.."

What time is the play?

An hour or so, we're still early.

Don't you think...

...plays must have a message for the society?

Can't they be just for fun?

That would be a waste of time.

Shakespeare has messages. - Yes.

But some of his characters...

...speak very foul languages.

Coolie.

- Get off the pavement. - He's a barrister.

What are you doing, you idiot?

But he's a coolie.

Hey.

I will see you punished for this.

Mr. Gandhi, we're going straight to the police.

You sir, are going to prison.

Tell him to stay off the white pavements.

Henry. Henry.

I am not filing any complaint.

Why?

Pray to the Lord that he forgives him.

For he knows not what he does.

Sounds familiar.

Thank the Lord that...

...I speak these words from the ground.

And not from the cross. - Come.

God.

Yes, Mahatma Gandhi is the Father of the Nation,

he is a Father to us all

But for hospital admission, we need your father's name

In the hospital register, we can't write your father's name as Gandhi

What is your father's name?

Tell me.

Barrister

Barrister Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

Not for despair, this is a moment to celebrate

Once again, Barrister Gandhi has been arrested

I am proud of my father

How ridiculous,

a barrister, in the service of...

...the King in a British colony...

...is ordered to be finger-printed

You know why?

Because the colour of his skin...

is not this

If you are this,

or this,

or shades in between,

then you're considered sub-human and will be confined to specific areas
