Gangaa is riding her bicycle. She is thinking about Sagar’s words. A guy is riding a bike. She almost collides with a cart when a kid runs past her cycle. The guy stops his bike as all the pots fall down in his way. Gangaa looks at the damage. The vendors angrily scold Gangaa. They ask for payment. She says sorry to them. I didn’t do it intentionally. They again ask for money. She agrees to pay them tomorrow. I don’t have money with me right now. They insist while she speaks of trust. The guy asks her why someone will trust her? Gangaa turns to look at him. What if you don’t come tomorrow? She says maybe people don’t trust someone. He says you can give something in written to them at least. She asks him if he is a lawyer? She keeps talking when he tries to say something. These people have put their carts in the pathway. He reasons that one does not even ride bicycle there. She tells him her address. Come in the evening. I will pay you. The guy again asks for her address? Gangaa repeats it for him and begins to walk away. The guy keeps looking at her. Gangaa turns to look at him too before going away finally. The guy smiles.
Sagar is with his client. Their hearing is due. Niru wishes him good luck. I know of the pressure that will be on you. You have fought four (4) cases and you’ve won them all. Bar council has a lot of expectations from you. They see the most talented lawyer in you. There will be pressure on you for sure. Sagar assures him, but Niru knows it all already. Forget the pressure, your past victories. Keep the fear of defeat away from you. Concentrate only on your case. Winning or losing does not matter. Sagar says no Papa. Where I stand today in my life, victory matters a lot to me! I have nothing else to look forward to. There is nothing other than pain and sadness in my personal life. Victory and success are the things with which I can prove myself. He goes inside with his client. Niru hopes Sagar does not become so stone hearted to prove himself. He will only be in pain.
Gangaa and her friend comes to court. They request the peon to allow them to see the courtroom cases to learn from the senior lawyers. He allows them inside. Take a backseat. They thank him. Sagar stands up to present the case. Gangaa is taken aback hearing his voice. Gangaa’s friend compliments Sagar. He looks like a hero, right out of movies. Gangaa tells her to focus on what they have come here for.
Sagar is talking about a divorce case and how a woman gives up her everything for her husband. She too should have a right in that house. No one can deny her those rights. Gangaa recalls her marriage with Sagar. Gangaa wipes her tears while listening to his arguments (all the while speaking about the rights of a woman). The opposition lawyer turns out to be the same guy who Gangaa met earlier on.
Gangaa is taken aback to see him. Sagar realises he is not the defence lawyer. Palash shows his papers in court. I have been appointed by my lawyer. He introduces himself. I am a registered member of Bar Council. He congratulates Sagar on the way he presented the case. Palash presents his point of view regarding the case. He speaks of the third person involved here. Gangaa thinks of her case. People only raise fingers at the character of ladies when they have nothing to talk about. He too is doing the same thing. He is a big liar! The lady looks tensed. Sagar notices his client’s expressions. Palash presents his argument. The Judge gives decision in Palash’s favour. Niru leaves unhappily. Palash stops Sagar. Like I said, you were very good. He
introduces himself to Sagar, but Sagar walks away without saying anything. Gangaa notices all that.
Sagar questions his client for lying to him. The lady retorts that she only hired him to get alumni from her husband. I heard lots about you, but we lost because of you. The defence lawyer was better than you. Sagar is aghast. I lost because of you lying to me. It wasn’t my mistake! Niru advises Sagar not to take it too personally. The case is over. Sagar says I was wrong. I had to lose the case because of that woman. She lied to me!Niru tells him to stop blaming others for his mistake. You could still win the case differently. You only kept giving explanations. Sagar calls it counter explanations while Niru calls it arguments. You would have found a way to save your case if you had heard Palash carefully. I understand your passion and talent. I don’t doubt you at all. You win cases by thinking legally. Palash gave perfect logics in there. I too would have given the decision in his favour if I was the judge today. This new boy is really good. You need to be careful. Come fully prepared next time.
Gangaa confronts Palash outside. She speaks of his argument. You maligned a woman’s character. The other lawyer was fighting for the respect of a woman. You didn’t take a second to malign the relation by talking about another person. So many women fear asking for justice because of people like you. I want to know how much money your client gave to you to defame that woman! Palash looks at her. What’s your name? Palash looks at Gangaa’s ID card. You are a law student? I thought you are from Sagar Chaturvedi’s team. Your anger reflects something like that. As you are a law student, I would like to tell you that you have a wrong opinion about me. I don’t fight against helpless women. I fight cases for helpless women. That woman is responsible for the family breaking apart. She was married, yet had a relationship with someone else over many years. She hid it from everyone. He points at the kids. I didn’t share in court that she disappeared somewhere for a while. She was on a vacation with her boyfriend and withdrew money from the joint account that she shared with her husband. I could have told all this in court, but the disrespect it would bring on the family would have done great harm. Why not win a case not using cheap tricks and harmful information when you can win it without all that? I don’t use cheap tactics to win cases in court. There are two sides of a coin always. Don’t make any opinion about someone without knowing the complete truth, including me. He drives away.
Madhvi asks Janvi to give Sagar food. I am going out with Prabha. She notices Janvi’s sad face. I know it is very difficult for you, but giving up won’t help. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. The chance is good. There will only be Sagar and you at home. His Papa said Sagar will win today’s case. He will be happy then. Things will be good for you. Tell Sagar that you cooked all this. She leaves. Janvi looks tensed.
Sagar keeps thinking of Palash’s arguments and of Niru’s words. Janvi asks him what he is thinking of? I am sure the decision would have come in your favour. Papa said so. What happened? He says nothing. She again asks him. He tells her not to disturb him. She calls it unfair. I am your wife and want to share your happiness. He again tries to tell her to let him eat peacefully, but she insists. He gets angry. Can I not even eat in peace? Court is not a cinema hall where there will be drama. what do you want to hear from me? I lost. I lost because I am a very big loser! Gangaa and Supriya hears him.
Sagar continues to vent his anger out on Janvi. My papa thinks the same way. He thinks that the defence lawyer is more smart and intelligent than me. Are you happy now? He heads upstairs followed by Gangaa. Janvi wipes her tears.
Gangaa claps for Sagar. Wow, advocate Sagar Chaturvedi! You troubled everyone just because of losing a case. He says you don’t know anything. You weren’t there. Gangaa shares that she was present there. I saw everything. He asks her if she enjoyed seeing him humiliated? She says you know me so well. The truth is I was really happy to see you there. I was praying for you as well. Remember all the games that we played in childhood? I always wanted you to win. I always used to encourage you, clap for you. I was so proud of you today in the court. I thought you have changed so much
and have matured. But I was wrong. You are still the same. You still cannot bear competition or defeat. You didn’t change at all. You cannot bear anyone winning or believe that someone else can be better than you. You still don’t believe that the other lawyer was better than you.
