Long Live Mangal Netam!
I am not here to seek votes
Don't vote for me
I want development for you all
My dream is to see every child
with a laptop in their right hand
And a cell-phone in their left
But they stand like thorns
in my path
I won't allow it as long as I live
and I perform miracles
If they shoot arrows,
I fire cannons
Long Live Mangal Netam!
We'll have dinner together
Don't worry. We're nearly there
Sir!
Turn the car around!
Get down!
The third incident in two weeks
The government has promised
stern action
Additional reinforcements
will be deployed
Oh no!
The power has gone again
Nutan
- I'm checking
- Son, go and see
The others have power
- I'll check the fuse
- Is it just us?
Must have tripped
Chanchal has left. His workshop
is so successful
His wife works with him
- The fuse gone again?
- Yes
Everyone is getting married
but our son
You seem to know everything
- Is the power back?
- Yes, son
- Attending tomorrow's workshop?
- Yes
The Indian election...
The elections will cost
five billion dollars
814 million voters
We break our own records
with every new election
We've proved it
Although some rogues get elected
to parliament...
...we will not allow gangster tactics
in the elections
How?
Because we, the election volunteers,
will not let it happen
Very well
That's if we aren't bumped off
Who said that?
Stand up! You won't be punished
It's natural to be afraid after
what happened yesterday
Only human nature
The Maoists have made it clear
they'll boycott the elections
There is only one weapon
to stop them and that is...
...our voting machine
Remember we have only
one aim...
...to hold free and fair elections
What if the Maoists attack our
polling booth? What do we do?
Don't play the hero.
Do as they ask
They want the voting machine,
hand it over
re-election will be organized
Anyone else?
And if they attack on re-election
day?
Then we'll have another
re-election
What if they attack on the
"re-re" election day?
What's your name?
Newton
Newton?
"Apple" Newton?
- Three
- After three?
- Four
- After four?
Good boy, sit down
You explained things so well, sir
My respects to you, sir
Never mind
Sir, you made light of
my simple doubt
My answer only matched
your question
- Sir, I genuinely wanted...
- Of course, sit down
Newton
Tell me who named you?
Was your father a physics teacher?
Your mother's whim?
- Who named you?
- I named myself
Meaning?
But why?
My parents named me Nutan (new)
Kumar. Made the school kids laugh
Just like you
Nutan Kumar!
So what did you do?
On the class 10 form, I changed "Nu"
to "New," and "tan" to "ton"
Changed "Nu" to "New" and "tan"
to "ton"
You gave yourself a big name
to live up to
Like you're blowing your
own trumpet
- Testing me again?
- Who am I to test anyone?
Tell me
Do you know how Newton
changed the world?
Gravity. Optics
For years you've lived as Newton...
...but forgotten the essential
He leveled all differences.
Ask me how
How?
Before Newton, people thought
there were different laws...
...for heaven and earth
For church and temple
Different laws for kings
and commoners like us
But at a single stroke,
Newton proved us wrong
Nature treats everyone equally
Tycoon Ambani and a tea-seller
jump off a cliff simultaneously
They'll land together
at the same time
Newton proved - for Nature
we're all the same
King or beggar
- Which department are you in?
- Not assigned yet. Still on probation
Why are you on election duty?
I'm a Reserve
Good. Reserves are useful
There's always a 12th player
This place must seem a small town
next to Bhopal
Wherever our son is happy
is fine by us
You're so right
Retirement is better spent with
one's children
You don't look over 60
60? I'm just 57
My son forced me to take early
retirement when he got a job
If only all sons were like Nutan
It's Newton
She has always loved to embroider
You won't lose your handkerchiefs
again
Our daughter will embroider
your initials on them
Here she is
How are you?
We're fine. I hope you're well too
Eat something with the chai
- Did Ankita cook them?
- Yes
Please sit
Nutan, have a pakora
Newton
My English is very poor
Drink up before a fly falls into it
If you want to ask her something,
go ahead
Saving it for after the wedding?
Seen her embroidery,
had pakoras and tea
Nothing left to ask
Let him ask. He has a Masters
in physics
Ask her something, son
- Have you any hobbies?
- I love watching movies
- What's your favorite movie?
- "Sweety goes to her in-laws"
Which college did you attend?
I didn't go to college
I'd never send her to
that den of rascals
Studying is a ruse for wasting time
And after high school?
I left in Class 9
- When was that?
How old are you?
Sixteen and a half
She's a minor
Nutan, better that she grows up
at her in-laws
- Sit down
- She's underage
Please sit
She's underage
Not for long. Marry her later
Her father is a contractor
You're a government officer.
A life of ease
- Sorry, not interested
