to kiss you?

You're insane!

You're mad.

So l am.

Mad about you!

l missed you.

"l am expecting

some happy news too."

"Yes, it is."

"Some things make you cry..

..some times it is like a story."

"Yes, it is."

There you are!

- Hello aunty!

- Hello.

Here's your parcel

- safe and sound.

l'm off to the salon.

See you in the evening..

at Uncle Bhanu's party.

This girl is a tornado!

ln the last 30 years..

Bhanu and Chandra Pratap's

Rashtrawadi party had captured..

..power thrice in the state.

Bhanu Pratap's public

charisma and Chandra Pratap's..

..astute tactical skills..

had served them well indeed.

When their party

couldn't win the last election..

they installed Ramnath

Rai's party in the government..

by supporting it from outside.

Now, when they asked him to,

Ramnath Rai was reluctant to resign.

Bhanu Pratap's son Veerendra knew

exactly how to handle such problems.

All the dozen legislators

of his party are in the bus.

Take them to the guest

house and feed them.

Welcome, grandpa!

Grandpa, l've hijacked

your entire party.

You're a general without an army!

What's the use of

tilting at windmills now?

Veerendra, show some respect.

Well.. let him

respectfully retire then!

Father-in-law, come.

Let's go inside and talk.

lt's an outrage the way you are..

trying to topple my government!

Only with your blessings, of course.

Look here..

this time my party bosses

will insist on 100 seats.

You can't score even 10 seats..

Aiming for a century!

Keep your national

party in Delhi. Here we..

Veeru, enough.

Come, father-in-law.

You never call me!

lt's only through your Uncle

Brij that l get news of you.

Mother, it's the time

difference between here and America.

Uncle Brij is a nocturnal bird.

lt's easier to talk with him.

Hey!

Brother!

Already pouncing on mom's parathas!

You've become thin! Hasn't he, mom?

Let him be.. Come, eat.

No, l've to go to the Party HQ.

l just came to see him.

While Veerendra believed

himself to be the heir..

..to the political throne..

Prithvi was jockeying

for the same position.

Hence, it was imperative

that his supporters get..

..nominated for these elections.

Create so much publicity that the

party is forced to nominate them.

We'll fight to get that.

We'll create a chaos

in the party high court.

We'll show them your power, Prithvi.

Great!

Let me go!

They're trying to stop me!

l told them l had to talk to you.

We're in a meeting. Please wait.

So.. that's it then.

Yes, sir.

Move then. lt's time for the party.

Okay, sir.

Jagat.. call for my car, too.

- Okay, sir.

You seem to have forgotten me, sir.

There's going to be a

fresh election, l hear.

Won't you let a
