00:00The
01:02To give a start to the campaign, January 26, 1930 was observed as Independence Day.
01:32Ah, Menon!
01:35Sir!
01:36And what do we have here?
01:40This, uh, Bapu, I mean, Mr. Gandhi has a...
01:46Do I need to remind you of the many opportunities you have here?
01:51It would be foolish of you, naive, becoming involved in any political propaganda.
02:00Do you understand me?
02:03Have I made myself clear?
02:07Yes, sir.
02:10Doctor, please.
02:15Yes, sir.
02:17Very well.
02:18Perhaps a change in perspective might clear your head downstairs, I think.
02:29I want you to work up a proposal for the transfer of power, factoring the division of the Punjab
02:49and Bengal.
02:50Well, I'm sure that all sides are kept hunting.
02:54You have to challenge or not?
02:56Yes, sir.
02:57I am.
02:58Absolutely.
02:59Good.
03:00Get to it.
03:04Mr. Menon.
03:11Mr. Menon.
03:12Ah, CM Surabharadhi.
03:14Hi, Nazir.
03:15So good to see you.
03:17So good to see you.
03:18Congratulations.
03:19Mr. Menon.
03:53Chief Minister!
03:56Chief Minister Souravarde.
03:58Mr. Rebel.
03:59Thank you for coming.
04:00Thank you for having me.
04:01The carryguercie.
04:02Please.
04:03Wait till next.
04:11After.
04:13On this historic day, India takes her place as a free and independent dominion in the British Commonwealth Association.
04:43I regard myself as a soldier, so a soldier of peace.
05:13At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life as vegan.
05:43You see, Your Excellency, Bengalis and Punjabis don't have that much in common, except we're both a stubborn lot.
05:50What I'm trying to say is, anyone who thinks they can take both these provinces and lump them into the same state, is clearly not thinking straight.
06:05Therefore, your solution is?
06:07An independent, united Bengal.
06:12Sir, maybe you should read that.
06:42I see you have support from across the isles.
06:49All right.
06:52Tonk.
06:55Surahwardi khattar hai?
06:58League kabi or Islam kabi?
06:59Bilkul.
07:01Us ki niyat galat hai.
07:05Soch, gulp nahi.
07:06Paakistan ke dhonoh hissson ke biech, azar kilomiter ka fasla honne se behter hai.
07:17Bengal remains united and independent.
07:20Lekan, liegh ne bhanggal me chunaab chita hai.
07:23Kyo othodhi muslimana ne paakistan nu chuna hai na?
07:26Haan, liekin bhanggal ke muslimano ko abhi, ek azad mulk milega.
07:33Jho two nation theory ki jit hoogi.
07:36Lekan, qaid ye...
07:38Agar kongres ko bhanggal ka ek gaun hi na milay.
07:42To mujhe ek azad or independent Bengal se kooi aitharaz nahi.
07:48And I'm sure...
07:51The Bengalis will remain on friendly terms with Pakistan.
07:57Mera sara dhyan sorawaradi betha.
08:01Wuhu Dilli aya waishraiz se mila.
08:04Dinah se nahi bila.
08:07Aapko kaise pata?
08:15Mujha mat pata hai hai mujha nahi chamna.
08:17Good morning, sir.
08:19Good morning.
08:21Good morning.
08:22Good morning.
08:30Good morning, sir.
08:32Good morning, sister to diretri.
08:33Good morning.
08:35Sit down, gentlemen.
08:46There are 500 pheinset riaasatoes on your table and signed treaties on the ground.
08:51I know that you guys should study them all again.
08:53It's so good to see us actually laugh for once.
08:58Yes.
08:58Anyway, I'm so glad we could come to an arrangement.
09:01Now, I'll get the office to contact Fatima so we can have some dinner.
09:04I look forward.
09:07Excuse me.
09:09George.
09:10Mr. Jinnah, sir.
09:11Yes.
09:13You've got work to do.
09:15Well, Jinnah changed his tune.
09:17I'm glad to hear of it.
09:19Now, get Menon to work up an alternative transfer of power plant.
09:23One that factors in an independent Bengal.
09:28Yes?
09:30Yes.
09:30Your Excellency.
09:34We're cons...
09:36What the bloody hell's going on, hmm?
09:46Mr. Menon...
09:47Mr. Menon what?
09:50Hey, thanks, everyone.
09:54Your Excellency.
09:57Jinnah can be fickle-minded.
09:59Before he changes his mind, I suggest we maintain a low profile and we work on this plan between ourselves.
10:07What he means, sir, is that we should work on this other plan by ourselves.
10:12Fine.
10:13Fine.
10:13Let's get it done.
10:16Since the God's mind is a hero.
10:19Fine.
10:19Fine.
10:20What the fuck?
10:20Fine.
10:21Fine.
10:21Fine.
10:22Fine.
10:22Fine.
10:22Fine.
10:22Fine.
10:23Hell, I messed with the credit card.
10:30Right.
10:31Good.
10:31You may have a verfwad for the Australian Supreme should have built.
10:34deceive system.
10:36I don't know, what to do with a court system.
10:37Ashutosh, where is the Constitutional Law file?
10:44You and I know that it is utterly unacceptable.
11:08India and Pakistan must accept the minimum status.
11:12Our final list of demands.
11:21Half of Punjab and Bengal, strong center.
11:30Purn Swaraj.
11:32India will be an independent republic, not a dominion.
11:38Purn Swaraj is non-negotiable.
11:43Yes, tell me.
11:47How many people?
11:50What was the police doing?
11:54Where are you?
11:56United Provinces.
11:59Ashutosh!
12:01Ashutosh!
12:03Ashutosh!
12:05Ashutosh!
12:07Ashutosh!
12:08George!
12:09What?
12:10Is there something I should know about?
12:11My staff and my files have been taken away from me.
12:26Not now, Menon.
12:27More killings.
12:28New key this time.
12:29Yes, mate.
12:30We have a situation.
12:31Here's mate, we have a situation.
12:35Here's mate.
12:36We have a situation.
12:38Here's mate.
12:39We have a situation.
12:41We have a situation.
12:42What are you thinking?
12:43What?
12:44What is it?
12:45What is it?
12:46What is it?
12:47How do you know the truth?
12:50Hmm?
12:51I've done other things to do.
12:54Not even though people might live yet.
12:57This is because of your own work.
13:00Ah, look!
13:03Oh!
13:04Menon, but...
13:05No, no!
13:06What is it?
13:07I just thought about this.
13:08How could you know the truth?
13:09Hey.
13:10How are you eating at Kesaram?
13:11Yes, that's it.
13:12One more time.
13:13Come and come and drink.
13:14Oh, my God.
13:19What is this?
13:22What is this?
13:24You can go.
13:26Oh, man.
13:28No, just this.
13:29Mani, you have to cover it.
13:31My husband is the most senior of the Vaisra staff.
13:37He made a transfer of power plan, then he had to see.
13:41He made a transfer of power plan.
13:44People will keep their children's names.
13:47Menen Parekh, Menen Shah, Menen Gupta.
13:52Menen, I love my heart.
13:56But one thing, Menen Sahib.
14:00You are the inspiration of every child of Hindustan.
14:04If you work with your passion, you can see the sea.
14:11There is a sea in the sea.
14:13I will also see it.
14:15All right.
14:19Menen, you have to come to work.
14:25The work is this, Menen Sahib.
14:27I want to think that the English will be able to go in as soon as possible.
14:32Half of Punjab and half of Bengal are going to go.
14:36You will tell me that the three things can be done in any other thing.
14:43Brother?
14:45I mean, Vaisraai has made a plan.
14:50Not only Congress or not,
14:52They are thinking about all the benefits.
14:54You think about all the benefits.
14:57You just think about all the benefits.
15:00If you do it with your support,
15:03you will make a mistake.
15:04If you do it with your support,
15:06you will be able to accept your support.
15:08You will not be able to accept your support.
15:09If you have to believe in your support,
15:11then you will receive your support.
15:16In the world war,
15:21the congress will not be able to do it.
15:23He had used Jinnah Sahib to do it, and after the work was finished,
15:29he kept him in the face, but Jinnah Sahib did it in the face.
15:35This is the principle of English. Use and throw.
15:41You know it for them.
15:44But you will still remain for them.
15:53Have these sent to London and these to their respective addresses?
16:12Bapu.
16:15Hello.
16:17The transfer of power plan is very quickly.
16:21Today, some of the Viceroy of the Viceroy of Lord Mountbatten,
16:26which has been in the 17th of May,
16:29a meeting of all parties in the 17th of May.
16:33The Viceroy of the Viceroy will give a new year and the Viceroy of the Viceroy of the Viceroy.
16:38Which will be the same in the 17th of May.
16:44And, the Viceroy of the Viceroy will be the same in the 17th of May.
16:48This one here. Champagne's here.
17:15I say Hastings, come join us. We're cracking open the bubbly.
17:45The bloody church will seize this, eh? Take it to him. That's what I say. The man that saved India. Bit more of this and I'll save the marriage.
17:55Well, I guess we'll all have a drop, eh? Now, cheers to you, sir. Cheers to you. Honestly, I've never laughed so much in my whole bloody life.
18:09It really is. Your Excellency. Yes? May I come in, sir? Of course. Come in. Come. Come. We're just having a little party.
18:23Sir. I'm here to submit the plan that you asked me to work on.
18:31I think it's perhaps time we inform the reforms, Commissioner. Hmm?
18:35George, the door. Come on.
18:45Oh, God.
18:46George, the door.
18:53Forgive me, Your Excellency, but the Congress will never accept this plan.
19:22I was assured by Surawadi, no less, that the Bengal Congress was in agreement.
19:27Due respect, Your Excellency, it's the high command that decides.
19:33Regional congressmen will be put out to pasture if they go against Mr. Patel or Mr. Nehru.
19:38I would have thought they'd be on the side, as long as Pakistan doesn't make claim to Calcutta.
19:42No, no, no, Your Excellency, you're horribly mistaken.
19:48I'm mistaken.
19:52Well, I'm afraid this time you are, sir.
20:06The thing is, the Congress see themselves as natural successors to the British.
20:11What Jinnah lays claim to is theirs.
20:14What he lets go of is also theirs.
20:16The British crown represents everything they've been protesting against for more than 50 years now.
20:24Mennon, I don't need a bloody history lesson.
20:26What you do need, Your Excellency, then, is to stop the plan from going ahead in London, anyhow.
20:37Have you lost your mind?
20:39It's too late.
20:40Downing Street already has it.
20:41I mean, they're announcing to the Indian leaders, and that's why we're having a bloody party.
20:45I mean, I can't take it back now.
20:48I think as a president, they would stand.
20:50I mean, we're all little bloody idiots.
20:54In that case, Your Excellency, you must be prepared for the worst.
20:59That is, the Congress will resort to their age-old tactic.
21:15Submit it, our man.
21:17Mass agitation.
21:19Mass agitation.
21:23Mass agitation.
21:25Well, there's a surprise.
21:26Yes, sir.
21:56That's why I'm saying that my friend is not working.
22:00That's why I'm saying that you go and go and put it in the room.
22:04That your friend is going to listen to the meeting in the 17th of the meeting.
22:06What's going on in the 17th of the meeting?
22:07What's going on in the 17th of the meeting?
22:15What's going on in the 17th of the meeting?
22:17What's going on in the 17th of the meeting?
22:20No, it's not me.
22:22I'm there.
22:23What's going on in the 17th of the meeting?
22:24What's going on in the 17th of the meeting?
22:26I am sure that you are not tired of this trip until the end of the day.
22:31I am not tired, but I am tired of the U.P. in the U.P.
22:36I am tired of the U.P.
22:38In this series, the transfer of power is a concrete plan.
22:47I agree with you on that. It is the need of the hour.
22:50And I am sure the Viceroy will come up with a plan which is agreeable to all parties involved.
22:56Well, I certainly hope so.
23:19Yeah?
23:20Yes, Viceroy.
23:26That is my family tree.
23:33Battenburg.
23:35Yes.
23:36We had it changed to Mount Batten during the First World War.
23:48To be more English.
23:51Or to be seen as such.
23:53And to prove our loyalty.
24:00Ironic.
24:02You are the Supreme Allied Commander of Southeast Asia.
24:06A Viscount.
24:08And the great grandson of Queen Victoria, if that counts.
24:12I know a fellow patriot when I see one.
24:15My friend.
24:18Good to see you.
24:19Good to see you.
24:20Now, drink?
24:21Yes, please.
24:22Good.
24:23All right.
24:24Good.
24:25Good.
24:26Good.
24:27Good.
24:39Good.
24:40Good.
24:41Good.
24:42Good.
24:43Bye Shawn.
24:47Good.
24:48Now stop overthinking, and please take your medicines.
24:58Really, we're going to have problems, absolutely fine.
25:03You're looking at things from a different perspective?
25:09Oh!
25:13That is yoga for you. Calms the mind and relieves stress.
25:24Mountain air not enough for you.
25:28I was hoping to see you last evening.
25:31I hope your bedroom's comfortable.
25:35Oh, yes. It's nice to be here.
25:42I'm waiting on an audience with Dickie. He seems occupied.
25:49Hmm.
25:52Well, it looks like we both have some time on our hands then.
25:57So tell me, what is there for one to do in Simla?
26:03No, Mr. Menon, I did not give Jawa the plan last night. It's inappropriate.
26:12Just a moment.
26:15Oh!
26:16Oh!
26:17Oh!
26:18Oh!
26:19Oh!
26:20Oh!
26:21Oh, that's right.
26:22Good!
26:23Right.
26:24Ha, ha, ha!
26:25You know?
26:26Come on.
26:27Oh, this is not fair.
26:28Everyone saw them!
26:30Right there.
26:31Right there.
26:32Come on.
26:33Here we go.
26:34Oh, my son.
26:35All right.
26:36Look.
26:37Yes!
26:38Yes!
26:39Yes!
26:40Yes!
26:41Yes!
26:42Yes!
26:43Yes!
26:44Yes!
26:45Yes!
26:46Yes!
26:47Yes!
26:48It was...
26:49You have to tell me.
26:50You're trying to be evil also.
26:51I'm serious.
26:52No, that was earlier.
26:53No more.
26:54No more.
26:55No.
26:56His Excellency has asked me to extend his apologies.
26:57The Prime Minister is on the telephone.
26:58But he insists you must carry on without him.
26:59Hmm.
27:00Well, it looks like it's just us.
27:03It's just us.
27:04It's just us.
27:05It's just us.
27:06It's just us.
27:07It's just us.
27:08It's just us.
27:09It's just us.
27:10It's just us.
27:11It's just us.
27:12It's just us.
27:13It's just us.
27:14It's just us.
27:15It's just us.
27:16It's just us.
27:17I suggest you get accustomed to it.
27:37Might I be the first to congratulate you, Your Excellency?
27:40It seems Attlee has approved our plan.
27:43And we'll present it before the House of Commons next week.
27:46Your Excellency, you have to show this plan to Pandit Nehru before it is presented to
27:50the Cabinet.
27:51Oh, come to your censors, man.
27:52To do so would be a complete breach of neutrality.
27:54Abel is right, Your Excellency.
27:56If the people find out, your reputation and credibility would be destroyed forever.
28:00Forgive me, sirs, but I really don't see any other way.
28:04If this goes ahead without the Congress' approval, there will be absolute pandemonium on the street, sir.
28:09I don't think-
28:10Mr. Manon!
28:15Are you quite sure, beyond any reasonable doubt, that his so-called Congress, High Command,
28:21will not accept Surabwati's plan?
28:27No, sir.
28:28I will say, I will pray for you.
28:29I will pray for you, Your Excellency.
28:31I will pray for you, Your Excellency.
28:33Oh, honey.
28:34Oh, honey.
28:35I will pray for you all I should sabotage the debts of a house.
28:38Perhaps you will reckon with me as soon as you did, but Ganj Sahar.
28:40You must motivate me as far as your dream was alone and you worship your friends over there.
28:41The Goals of the Disciously will go on to theСkull.
28:42In the last time, my friends told me your val Зчит behalf is unclear as well,
28:44all the names of my master and见s did not exactly as if you were born.
28:46I fell to theά족ical sh Nestle.
28:51Thank you very much.
29:21Thank you very much.
29:51Thank you very much.
30:21Thank you very much.
30:51Thank you very much.
31:21Thank you very much.
31:51There's something I'd like to show you in the study.
31:58Is that for me?
32:08Not today.
32:18Not today, but excellent.
32:20Good.
32:24Good.
32:24Read it.
32:34I want your thoughts on how Congress is likely to react.
32:38What I can say.
32:44What I can say.
32:52What I can say.
32:53What I can say.
33:01What I can say.
33:02What I can say.
33:05What I can say.
33:06What I can say.
33:07What I can say.
33:08What I can say.
33:09What I can say.
33:14What I can say.
33:15What I can say.
33:16What I can say.
33:18What I can say.
33:19What I can say.
33:25I'm sorry that you feel this way.
33:30I was a fool to think that we've become friends.
33:34And try to accommodate the interests of all parties.
33:37The only interests this seems to serve are those of India's enemies.
33:42Each province and princely states will be asked to choose between three options.
33:46India, Pakistan or independence.
33:48Yes, and the independence clause is solely based for Bengal.
33:53What if everyone chooses independence?
33:56If these Maharajas are left to their own devices,
33:59India will be divided into 500 fragments.
34:02You will not come to this.
34:03What if it does?
34:05After three centuries of divide and rule,
34:07you leave us at fragment and quit.
34:17This plan is not only certain to be rejected by Congress,
34:21it will create an irreparable rift in India and the British.
34:30I've heard enough of this.
34:33Jawa!
34:35Let's not lose our heads over this!
34:37Panditji.
34:38Panditji.
34:43Panditji.
34:44Panditji.
34:45Please, listen to me once again.
34:46Bengal was not enough.
34:47They were able to give the opportunity to get rid of Hindus from Hindustan.
34:50They were already left in Pakistan.
34:52They were already left in Pakistan.
34:54Kashmir has no decision until now.
34:56This plan is set into motion.
34:59It will go into Hindustan.
35:05Do you want to say something else?
35:09Let's go.
35:21Hello.
35:22Hello.
35:23Hello, brother.
35:24I'll tell you.
35:25I hope I didn't leave you with your sleep.
35:27I hope I gave you with your sleep.
35:29Tell me.
35:32Yes, brother.
35:33I've called you that Panditji.
35:35Panditji.
35:36Weiss Royce.
35:37Weiss Royce.
35:38And now we're going to go.
35:39Weiss Royce.
35:40Yes.
35:42Weiss Royce.
35:44That means that we can do something else by then.
35:48You can do something.
35:50I have a revised plan for the year.
