Quotes 

• Swami Virendra : [during meditation he realizes Shankar is in his house with his gang]  In the Bhagwad Gita it says...

  Shankar Nagre : [interrupting]  I don't believe in God.

• Shankar Nagre : [discussing his business abroad]  Everything is fine, my partner and I are doing well...

  Subhash Nagare 'Sarkar' : Your partner's name is Pooja, isn't it?

  [Everything freezes and the tension begins to build, as Shankar slowly faces his father] 

  Shankar Nagre : Yes.

  [pause] 

  Subhash Nagare 'Sarkar' : When will you introduce her to us?

  [pause] 

  Shankar Nagre : Whenever you have the time.

  [the tension is relieved, and father and son exchange awkward grins] 

• Chief Minister Madan Rathore : [Abhishek Bachchan enters the office of the Chief Minister]  Come inside dear Shankar. What was so urgent that you had to visit me personally ?

  Shankar Nagre : [Seated opposite Deepak Shirke, in a deadpan tone]  Selva Mani, Vishraam Bhagat, Rashid. All 3 of them are dead.

  Chief Minister Madan Rathore : [Confused]  Why're you telling this to me ?

  Shankar Nagre : [In a more serious deadpan tone]  Because I am of the opinion that when someone dies, their closest ones are to be informed immediately.

  Chief Minister Madan Rathore : [Insecure]  What do you mean ?

  Shankar Nagre : I always knew you were backing them.

  [Shirke, terrified, closes his file] 

  Shankar Nagre : They were the ammunition, you were the gun.

  [Rises from his seat and approaches Shirke] 

  Shankar Nagre : You knew that as long as Subhash Nagre is around, you're nothing more than a rubber stamp Chief Minister. You wanted to kill his ideology and his thought process. But unfortunately, his thinking has now got rid of your ideology instead. The information detailing your underworld connections, black money, concealed overseas bank accounts has been revealed by Virender Swami to the CBI, which will arrive here any minute to arrest you.

  Shankar Nagre : [In a furious, arrogant tone]  Kiddo, it's me who runs the government, the administration. It's me who's the Chief Minister. Whether Swami testifies against me or anybody else, just wait and watch I'll be out of this enquiry in two days.

  Shankar Nagre : [In a continued deadpan tone]  That's what I am counting on

  [referring to kill him if exonerated] 

  Shankar Nagre : [Abhishek Bachchan leaves and CBI officers arrive to arrest Deepak Shirke]
