The scene starts with Raghav and his construction workers cutting down the trees and anything that's in there way.
Scene 1
Raghav looks at his planning sheet than he looks at the boss.
"So this is how the building will be design. I want this perfect. If any of this is not correct than I will personally make sure you never work again." He says
The man nod his head scared of what might happen. Not wanting to be anywhere near Mr. Singhania he quickly walks toward his workers. Raghav watch his workers. When he turns around he saw a group of farmers coming towards him. One of the farmers came to him.
"Excuse me sir, but what do you think your doing?" he says
"I'm destroying the trees." He says
"But sir, this is where we work, where we farm." He says
"Well now, it belongs to me."
"You can't destroy our land; if you do we will lose our job." Said one of the farmers
"This is our life. We use what we grow to feed our children." Says another farmers
Raghav looks at all of them; coming closer to him he says "does it look like I care about our little village." He says
Scene 2
Vitthal was heading to the field to work when one of his farm buddies comes up to him.
"What's wrong rohan?" he says
"Did you hear, someone is destroying our farm land?" He says
"What, who is he?" he says
"I don't know, but he was a businessman." He says
Another one, who is trying to take our land, Will they ever leave us alone? He thought.
Kalpi was leaving when he heard his father talking to one of his workers. She was shock at what she heard. What kind of person would do something like this? All our hard work, for their benefit. She thought. She heard her father leaving and follows them, when they reach there. She saw a lot of farmers yelling and screaming.
"Leave our land."
"What will happen to us, if you do this?"
"How will we make a living?"
Vitthal walks to the scene and face Raghav. Kalpi tries to see the guy but his back was towards her.
"This land is our life." He says
"If you destroy it, how will we make a living?" he asked
Raghav looks at vitthal and says "find another land. I heard you guys have more land around here." he says
Vitthal shook his head "yes we do, but this land provides a lot of resources for our crops." He says
"I don't care, if you have a problem with this. Talk to the guy that sold me these lands." He said plainly
The farmers' starts whispering to each other wondering who sold there land. Vitthal who has nothing else to say, walks away dejected. Soon the villagers follow him. Kalpi watches her father walking away sadly. She knew this wasn't right. She wanted to do something about it, but her dad comes first. She started walking away just when Raghav turn to her direction. Kalpi stop when she felt a tug in her heart. She knew it was stupid but she felt like her heart was calling to someone. She turned around when Raghav turned to look at his workers working.
Shaking her head, she turned back around and walks home.
Scene 3
Vitthal enters his home and sat down on his chair, looking sad. Not to long kalpi walks
In. she walks to her dad and hugs him.
"Baba don't worry, everything will be fine." She says
"Our dream, and our earning, how will we live?" He says
"We can start new, work in another land." She says
Vitthal shook his head, "no kalpana I can't do that.' He says
"That land, your grandfather found it, and made so everyone can farm there." He says
"It is very significant because our ancestors use to work there. All of us have good memories. I don't know how they found the will to that land. After all, your grandfather hid it somewhere no one will find it." He says hiding his face to cry
Kalpi hate to see her dad in pain decides to help her dad. She vows that she will get there
Land back, at all cost.
Scene 4
The next day Raghav and his team of workers were building his company. They were doing pretty good. They had already done the base, now there working on the middle.
"Good, good. Everything is coming along fine." He says
"Well we did start late at night." Says the boss
"I will make sure you get a bonus for this." He says making the boss smile
Just when he was about to leave them to work, He saw a girl on top of the bulldozer. She was standing there with confidence, arms cross and her sari swaying in the wind. Her duppat falls untangles itself from her neck and lands on his face. He took it off and stares at the girl. Both were shock to see each other.
They both had a flashback to when they met. Raghav coming out of his shocking state glares at the girl. Is she crazy, why is she up there? He thought
Kalpi looks at her savior, not believing it. He's the one that's stealing our land?" she thought. How can my hero become my villain? She thought
Kalpi jumps down from the bulldozer earning quite a stare from the workers and farmers who were protesting. She landed safely and stares at Raghav.
"You're the one causing problems to our village?" she asked
Raghav smirk. He could easily see her leg shaking, but she pretends not to show it.
"And if I am?" he says
"Then you have no shame." She says
"Shame, what should I be ashamed of." He says coldly
"Taking somebody else's land, and removing us from our work." She said
"Your land belongs to me. I have every right to do what I please."
"Those people are fighting for this land and to make a living. Cant you see what you're doing is destroying them." she says
"If the people concerned are fussing over this land than they clearly don't see the big picture."He says
"No the one who clearly don't understand is you." She says angrily. Moving her hand, and accidentally hitting the controller, starting the bulldozer.
Kalpi looks at the machine, shaking and making noise. Panicking she watches as the machine moves faster, heading towards the constructing building. Raghav screamed at everyone to move out the way. Protesters stop to watch the bulldozer destroying the building. When the noise died down and the smoke was gone, everyone turned their heads to kalpi and Raghav.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" he says pissed
"I...I didn't mean to do that." She says grabbing and UN grabbing her dress, out of nervousness.
"Didn't mean to? You purposely ruin my construction to save this land. He says walking closer to her.
"What do you have to say for yourself." he says grabbing her hand tightly and pulling her body closer to him.
"I'm sorry." She says honestly
Raghav looks into her eyes. Not knowing that he was getting pulled in. He thought to himself. Behind those glasses she has a pretty eye. Quickly realizing what he was thinking he let her hand go. Kalpi heart was beating fast, she didn't know why. She continued to look at him even when he let her go, daydreaming.
Raghav turned his back to her and says "you will pay greatly for what you've done."
He turn around to scold her some more when he realize she was still staring at him with her mouth half way open. He walks to her and snap his finger, snapping her from whatever she was dreaming. She blinks and blushes realize he caught her staring at him, far to long. Raghav glares at her
"You think this is a joke?" he says
"You will pay greatly for your interruption." He says turning around to leave.
After he was gone the villagers surrounds her saying some praises and picking her up. They took her all the way to her house screaming and shouting happily. Everyone was happy for her bravery except herself. She felt worse and knew something bad was going to happen.
Kalpi parents came out, wondering what's going on. They were surprise to see kalpi being carried. Kamla asked what's going on and one of the villagers said "the business man that wants our land, construction was destroyed by our very own kalpana." He says
Vitthal looks upset. He wanted to yell at her but not in front of every.
After kalpi come in the house, vitthal yells at her for being so reckless.
"What have you done kalpana?" he says
"I didn't mean to papa." She said honestly
Vitthal knew when ever she say papa she thinks she's in trouble.
"I was just gonna convince him to give back our land when I accidentally hit the button." She says crying. Vitthal walks to her and hug her. Then he says "its ok kalpana. I understand."
Scene 5
The next day Raghav sent a lawyer to find Kalpi School and give the principle a paper. The lawyer searched for the school until he found it. When he reached there, he walks straight to the principle office and gave her the letter. When the principle read the letter she was surprise. She called kalpana to the office and when she arrived she told her to sit down.
Kalpi confuse on what's going on asked "did I do something wrong Mrs. Khan? Or is my grade bad, because I can work harder." She says panicking
"No kalpi, nothing like that." She said sadly
"Then what is it?" she says calmly
"Kalpi from this day on, I hear by expelled you from school. Even if you try going to another school you won't be able to get in because this will be in your record." She says
For some reason when the teacher said the word expelled the room got smaller for kalpi.
She couldn't breath; she just couldn't handle this news. Looking ready to cry she asked
"Why am I expelled?" she says
The principle hands her the paper. Kalpi reads it and was shock. I can't believe he did this for something I did on accident. Pissed off she got up and left the school. Then she went to go look for him. When she found him she marched right up to him.
"This is your way of punishing me." She says showing the paper
"This is just half of it. I wanted to give you the next letter in person." He says
"You are crushing my parents dream, by making me expelled." She says
"I don't care. You crushed my mothers dream to build this company. I had a deadline to finish it by today, but you ruined it." He stated coldly
"I told you I didn't do it on purpose and I even apologize, but what you're doing isn't right, it's unfair." She says
"Unfair? unfair is what someone would say when your sister takes your toy. But this is far from being unfair. I call this justice." He says grabbing her face.
"When you have the time read the letter, because I'm not a very patient person." He says letting go of her face and turned around to leave.
As soon as he was gone, kalpi opens the letter. While reading it her hands were trembling and her feet gave out. She drops down on the floor with a shocking expression, still holding the paper in her hand.
