Am I Next (2023) Movie Script
1
You are impossible!
What if Honey sees us?
Lately she's been lost in her own world.
Lord knows what kind of exam
she's studying for!
Listen...
Drop this at the Mr Bedis house.
It will only take two minutes
Honey, hurry up
We are getting late.
Bye sweetheart,
Bye...
The French Revolution.
On the morning of July 14th, 1789
the city of Paris was in a state of alarm.
The Kind commanded troops to move
into the city.
Rumours spread that he would soon
order the army to open fire
upon the citizens.
some 7000 men and women...
Honey?
Honey, , what happened?
Are you okay?
Open you eyes.
Water! Get me some water!
This is done..
Ramesh, what is the situation here?
Sir, we are doing the packing.
Where is Nandu?
He went out.
Nandu, Nandu...
Hello, yes.. What?
She fainted but she is alright now
But still check with the doctor
Last week two students got sick,
breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Is she eating properly?
Ariba, Hows Honey now?
She's better now.
Okay, bring her in.
Alright...
Just 2 minutes.
What Im about to tell you now,
needs a lot of courage to digest.
Our daughter... ?
She is fine.
But she is pregnant
What?!
What are you saying?
Are you out of your mind?
She is 11 weeks pregnant,
you need to take good care of her.
And soon...
Sir, are you okay?
Have some water...
Dad, what did the doctor say?
Why did she send me out?
Tell me?
There are scratches on it.
What have you done!?
What is this!?
Rammi, Rammi stop it! Leave her!
It's not right to beat your kid.
Where did we go wrong?
What went wrong in our upbringing?
We gave her everything, full freedom.
Who did you sleep with?
Who is the father of that baby?
Rammi, Stop it!
Is this how you talk to your daughter?!
Honey, did it happen with your consent?
Or did someone force you?
Honey, open the door!
Sweetheart, please open the door!
Honey!
Open the door!
Honey! Please open the door!
Washroom...
Honey,
Get up.
Give her a pillow.
Honey.. Get up.
Please Honey..
I'm right here my baby..
Please get up.
Dolly, she will do it properly right?
She's a senior nurse, don't worry.
Follow me...
Come in.
Madam, this is the girl.
I need to get her abortion done.
How much money?
-How old is she?
-14.
10,000 Rupees.
That is too much
This is a legal matter,
you will have to take legal help.
She is a minor, no genuine doctor
will agree to do her abortion.
And dont even think of getting it done
illegally from the wrong people.
She can have health issues,
it can risk her life
Stop..
Here, this is a home remedy,
give it to her.
It should work.
If it works, pay me 1000 Rupees,
my consultancy fees...
Dont worry She wont charge any fee
Naina is not just a lawyer
but also an activist
who works for womens welfare.
She has her own NGO..
And above all she is a woman
She is the right person for this case.
Drink...
Little more...
Call me immediately,
if you feel something.
Okay?
Keep drinking.
Listen, don't tell your dad.
Coming...
This is Naina, she is a lawyer.
She is going to help us
Alright, whatever you suggest ma'am.
But...
Dont worry...
I have seen so many such cases before.
Listen..
I'll be right back.
-Sure.
What are you doing?
What is that lawyer doing here?
We dont want to fight any case
We dont want any justice
People will gossip about us,
they will ask weird things.
Do you remember Param?
She was also She also filed a complaint.
What happened then?
Everyone came to know, everyone
And then one day She was found dead.
My Honey,
I will not let that happen to her.
We will adopt Honeys child
Rammi
We always wanted to have
another child right?
What nonsense are you talking about?
If she delivers a boy
Rammi...
Mr. Raman, calm down.
My Honey is a 14 years old girl
She is not able to say anything,
she is very scared
Don't worry, we've handled many cases like these.
What is your name dear?
Honey.
Is there someone in your school
that you dont like?
In your school bus? In the neighborhood?
Some uncle? Or any relative?
Cousin or your teacher?
Sir.. Aman sir.
What?
Who is this Aman?
Honey...
Do you know him?
Yes.
Aman is the tenant of
our neighbor Mr. Bedi.
Honey used to take tuition from him.
We never suspected him
Inspector, register the FIR,
I know what I have to do next.
Register the FIR under
section 345 of POCSO Act.
Wait, wait...
have some sweet curd
for the good luck.
Yeah
I know.
-Nervous?
-A little bit.
-C'mon, you'r going to kill it.
-Thank you baby for your support.
I'll see you later,
I have to rush.
-Okay
-Bye
Your honor, its not just
sad but shameful as well
that we are becoming the country of rapes..
Every girl child's security is every household's concern.
Every now and then we see cases like this
in our courtroom, in the headlines
of newspapers or hear such incidents
from our friends and relatives.
Government has implemented strict laws
but rape cases are still increasing.
Nirbhaya, Aasifa, Telangana doctor
are few for example and don't know how
many more go unnoticed and unregistered?
And who knows who is next.
It can be anyone, can be me
I stand here for a 14 year old girl who was brutally raped
and got pregnant due to that rape.
Your honor, no doctor is ready
to abort her fetus because its illegal.
I seek the right to choose
courts permission for her abortion
The court will look into the matter,
and will give its verdict on next hearing
The court is adjourned..
How is he like?
He is a good guy,
doesn't smoke, doesn't drink.
Okay
Always pays on time.
Alright...
He doesnt smoke, he doesnt take tobacco..
So does he borrow sweets from him?
Something is wrong here?
Keep an eye on him.
okay sir.
Aman is missing and Sach TV is the
first channel to bring you this news.
A group of Policemen have left
for his village Saror to arrest Aman.
-Which room?
-104.
We don't have time,
because with every passing day
her fetus is also growing.
I request the court to grant us
the permission to abort this Fetus.
We totally understand your concern
But court needs the girls statement first.
This court cannot give any verdict
without her statement
Who's there?
Room service.
Room service? In a lodge?
Even after putting up the DND sign?
Bastard, he escaped again.
Let's go.
Is there someone in the police
who is leaking out all the information?
Or has Aman left for an all India tour?
Where is Aman?
Police seems to be totally losing it.
Where is Aman? No one knows...
And now some officials
are blaming it on media
That its because of the media coverage that
Aman gets to know about police's next move.
This is Gagan reporting live for
Sach TV.
What are you thinking..?
I don't know,
I fear Mrs. Kohli might be right.
Honey Sweetheart,
Do you remember when you were a little
girl, you used to go to a nearby school?
And a dog used to scare you
on the way.
After you told me,
I suggested you to change your path.
I was wrong Sweetheart...
...Changing your path is
not always a solution.
I taught you to protect yourself
but I couldnt teach you to fight
It's my fault
No baby..
This is not the time to cry.
The man who wronged you
should not go unpunished.
Otherwise he will bite
someone else's Honey.
He should be punished right?
The court needs your statement.
Otherwise,
I will not be able to get permission.
-How many fingers are there?
-Four.
Have something first.
You haven't seen a girl before?
I have! I see one everyday,
dancing to Katrina and Kanganas songs.
Nonsense.
-Give me 200 Rupees
-What for?
-For staring at me
Im gonna give you a tight slap
I have to fill a scholarship form.
It will be amazing if I win the scholarship
Amazing, How?
My fees for the next
quarter will be waived
And?
English speaking course
at 50% discount can you imagine?
And?
And a free trip to Mumbai during vacation
Yes, now we're talking. Trip.. Free!
Yes...
So you will go to Mumbai
and meet Katrina and Kangana there.
And I will get bored here
Why don't you go for a
second honeymoon with Dad.
We can't even handle this one Honey
We don't need the second one.
okay eat.
-Now let me study. DND...
-What?
-Nothing...
Preeti catch them!
Time out..
Why were you off in the classroom?
I was tensed.
Tensed about what?
You can talk to me...
Dont act too cool.
Tell me.
Maths, what else.
I have a solution and the name
of that solution is Aman, the tutor.
He teaches well. I will talk to him.
You can come for a demo class
You can take a Demo class.
Alright.
Now its your tern,
Hey this is cheating, I was talking to him
-Good Morning sir,
-Good evening Bunty
-Out
-Careful
Now it's your turn...
Water?
Yes.
Mom...
She wants to take tuitions
Theres a guy who lives at Bedis
I'm having problem with maths.

Have you all done your homework?
Yes sir.
Bunty you?
Yes sir.
Honey, you have problems in algebra right?
Yes.
Stay back after the class.
Okay.
The class is over, you all can leave
Honey, you stay back.
Bye Sartaj...
Now tell me, what problems are you
having with these sums?
Sir, I dont understand
when to multiply and when
See write down BODMAS in front
of you and then solve it.
Its just like a game.
Just follow your instinct.
Do you play games?
-Yes, but not these days.
I get tired after the games and
it becomes difficult to study then
You should do some exercise.
Okay.
It will also increase your intelligence
and you will not even feel tired...
So teach me then
It's time for my gym now.
You cannot do it in front of others.
Come at 3:00 pm tomorrow.
Its a secret exercise.
Okay, done.
Done, but
But?
It can be painful.
You will not scream right?
No...
Are you sure?
Yes, You can trust me.
You can trust me too
Are you done with your studies?
Not yet I have just started
How is that?
With exercise
Oh my God Im late. Listen Im going
What did you forget?
My tuition...
That is why I came,
to remind you about your tuition.
Bye bye
Honey listen
Take care of yourself
Zip up or else you'll catch a cold!
Bye!
Listen, take care...
Oh Honey, you are here!
Yes
How are you?
I'm good, how are you?
Good. okay do one thing,
Go and give this DVD to the Landlord,
Okay...
Listen, tell him to watch it in full volume.
It will be more fun.
Bedi Uncle,
Aman sir sent this.
He said to listen to it on full volume.
Okay, I will
Alright.
I gave him the CD.
Aman sir...
Let go!
What could have I done?
Your honor,
now we have the victims statement.
we have recorded this Video
in the presence of the police.
As I have already stated
the urgency of the matter,
I request the court to take
quick action on this matter.
Court will review the the statement
and take decision accordingly
But your honour we dont have time
The court has its procedure...
We cannot just give a verdict
without following the due process of law
You tell me?
Okay, thank you sir.
Honey one question.
We have with us the victim, Honey.
Honey was raped and got pregnat,
the father of her child is missing.
Honey, whatever ellegations you have
put on Aman, are they true?
One minute, what are you doing?
Have you lost your mind?
I'm just doing my job.
Really, this is your job?
Can't you see how distressed she is.
Rather than asking her,
have some empathy ans ask youself
How would you feel?
Had you been in her place?
There are many real issues out
there that you should cover.
But all you guys want is TRP.
Now excuse us.
Let's go...
Catch him...
Proceed.
Thank you...With all the evidences
submitted to the court,
I request the court to grant us
the permission to abort the fetus.
Prosecution...
My lord,
this is my client Mr. Aman Bhardwaj.
I need some more time to collect the evidences
to prove his innocence to the court.
Look at his condition,
the police have beaten him up mercilessly.
Your honor,
he is accusing us falsely.
The court orders to keep Aman Bhardwaj
into strict legal custody for 14 days
and his trail should be held in
the fast track court.
But abortion of a minor is a
complicated issue.
This court cannot give a verdict on that.
The court is adjourned.
Where is the scooter?
Let Miss Naina come!
You all don't worry,
I will go to the High court.
Thank you for all this,
but stop it now.
Enough is enough.
Let's go.
What do we do now?
You go home,
I will go to the High court
and get the permission.
There's a call for you.
Yes.
Which Police station?
Aman got arrested.
Why?
For Rape.
Oh Damn, rape?
He got cought?
Call the best lawyer in the city.
Listen, I need the best lawyer,
nothing, a small rape case.
Mahinder!
Yes, brother in law.
It's been more than an hour,
when is she coming.
She must be on her way.
Ma'am what about lunch?
The usual.
We have Gupta Vs. State hearing
post lunch and Shiba's bail
have been applied for.
Ma'am I really think you need to,
This is Mr. Gopal,
She will call us.
I should get you and Aman steralized,
only then you will hold your horses.
What are you saying?
Vaibhavi Sachdeva,
the same Vaibhavi Sachdeva
Who gave legal relief to Rehmat Khan,
Vijay Chopra and reality show star
Babbar B the previous year.
Presently she is one of the top
criminal lawyers in India.
Naina!
Mrs. Rammi wants to talk.
As expected,
Yes...
Let us live now,
I can understand your anger.
You don't understand anything Miss Naina,
Honey doesn't have time
And somehow I arranged...
Somehow what?
Don't put her health and life at risk.
So many women get it done,
they didn't die.
If that's the case then why is it illegal?
That I don't know.
Mrs Rammi, after going so far
I am not gonna step back.
We will go to the high court.
That's your son there.
Come here...
You rascal, did I raise you for this day?
You could've called someone over
if you were feeling so horny.
There are online services also.
There she is...
Greetings.
So, he's your son?
Yes.
I called her for extra classes,
she came home and started seducing me.
And I did what any other
man would have done.
and what do other men do?
Tell me?
You were not ashamed while
raping her, what happened now?
Why do you want to save him?
Because he's your son?
Yes ma'am.
That girl seduced him,
he is being framed.
He is a brilliant student.
You will have to be ready
with a lot of money.
The case is really weak.
How much?
Minimun 2 Lakhs per hearing.
Media is also involved in this case
and it's about my reputation.
She is too expensive.
Two Lakhs.
Don't worry,
We will sell the farmland.
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking about that girl you know.
If you want to succeed then you
need to do something really big.
People don't want to hear the truth
It's boring.
Bring something interesting.
But sir?
No but, only guts.
We are standing outside Jammu High Court
where the court is going to hear Honey's case
After a disappoiting decision by
the lower court.
Honey and her parents have come
to High court seeking Justice.
Sach TV will keep you posted
regarding the updates of this case.
This is Gagan, with cameraman Sanju.
Reporting live for sach TV.
My Lord.
Prohibited! We have heard and
seen this word in so many places.
On the streets, in our homes and offices.
We make these boundaries, so that we
can function without any disturbance.
I want to ask the court,
Why this 14 year old doesn't have
this right to conveniece?
Why can't she make a decision
so that her life doesn't get disturbed?
My Lord, I request the court to
grant us the permission to abortion.
Because if it gets delayed,
her life can be at risk.
A 14 year old's delivery, her future,
her health,
who will take responsibility for that.
I request your fast decision on this.
Naina, I understand the matter.
But this is a complicated case.
We need medical opinion.
Court will appoint a doctor,
who will examine the victim
and tell the court if abortion is possible.
Thank you your honor.
Opposition wants to ask something?
No questions, your honor.
The court is adjourned.
Naina,
what happened in the court room?
I am not allowed to share any court
proceedings. It's prohibited by the Court.
Miss Naina, don't you think that
Honey should be addressed and treated
like an adult and not as a minor.
And Naina do you think that there can
be a possibility of an affair between
Honey and Aman.
What a filthy question is this?
See we all know that Honey is a minor.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Suhasi, what is this childlike behaviour?
This is my job, I can't just
Just a sec...
Ma'am please tell us about the case.
I cannot give you any comment right now,
I have to wait.
This is Vaibhavi Sachdeva,
A famous criminal lawyer.
Vaibhavi, despite being a woman yourself,
rather than supporting Honey,
You have taken up this job of saving
the criminal. May I ask why?
Who is a criminal and who is a victim,
if you and I can decide that then
Why do we need the Judiciary?
Now excuse me, I have another hearing, please.
She charged us 2 lakhs just for
saying "No Comment".
Girls these days...
My son is innocent.
And you are not even saying anything.
Chanakya has written that
dogs, women and these lower class people
they won't get in line
unless you beat them.
I am sorry ma'am
I think I am losing my mind.
Please do something.
I am bying time Mr. Sharma.
The case is actually really weak.
And I need to extend it somehow.
And how will that help?
Just wait and watch.
Where are you going?
I'm going to school.
But sweetheart,
What are doing?
It's her exam.
You both have lost your minds,
As if I am her enemy.
Honey, show me your sheets
Please, let me copy...
No..
Shush.. No
Nothing happened.
Let's go inside.
I'm going for the hearing,
I will call you if you are needed.
Till then, you all sit here.
Doctor can present the report.
Your honour,
I examined the girl and saw her reports
But its a complicated matter
because the fetus has crossed 24 weeks.
Now abortion is a kind of foeticide.
Not only that your honour,
the mother herself is a minor.
It can be dangerous for her,
she might die during the process.
I am sorry to say,
medically abortion is a big no.
Okay thank you doctor,
you can sit.
Okay, thank you mam.
Court needs some time.
We will discuss this matter further after lunch.
Let's have some food everybody.
What will happen now?
Dont worry sweetheart,
I will talk to the Judge.
Everything will be fine.
Dont worry.
Let's have food.
Have some..
As per MTP Act,
before 24 weeks it is permissible for
a mother to abort the child.
But after 24 weeks,
not even the mother is allowed
to terminate the pregnancy.
Doctor's reports also say the same
that it is very dangerous for her.
Sorry, I can't grant her permission.
Prosecution wants to ask something?
No my lord.
I agree with you your honour,
but that happens in a normal situation
where couples have consensual sex.
Pardon my language your honour.
But this is a case of rape.
Honey was rapped...
And she was never Involved in this and
she never wanted to keep the child.
How did these 24 weeks pass?
In courts proceedings your honour.
So, is this little girl responsible
for these 24 weeks?
What are you trying to say?
Its the courts fault.
No, I didnt mean that..
But to an extent yes.
This is ridiculous!
Now you will question the court?
Are you aware that you are insulting
the court.
I am sorry your honour,
I seek your pardon
Because I know if I speak openly here,
anything can happen.
My license can be taken away,
I can get debarred.
Anything can happen.
When not even a lawyer is allowed
to speak the truth in these courts,
then I feel sorry that in this country No
ones allowed to speak but the Politicians.
In the 21st century, we are still fighting
for freedom of speech.
This little girl doesnt have any
right over her body!
Still we are very proud,
I dont understand why?
I want to say something my Lord.
Naina Ahuja is being
unnecessarily emotional.
She had been my assistant in the past,
still she didnt learn
that cases are won on the basis
of facts not just by blabbering.
I am very sympathetic towards
this young girl my lord..
Because I myself am a woman
And you are also a woman
And we know that to be a woman,
you have to feel womanhood first.
And after that you are whatever you are.
But I object when she says that
this is a case of rape, whereas it's not.
I can give you thousands of examples,
where in girls get sexually active
at a very early age.
Take the example of Mother Sita,
she got married at the age of 12
And ancient history is filled with
this kind of examples.
In our country, 11-12 years had been
considered an ideal marriageable age.
And Honey is a 14-15 year old teenager.
And she looks pretty attractive.
Objection your honour, I dont
understand what she is trying to prove.
Overruled
Thank you, your honour.
Im trying to prove that whatever
happened between Aman and Honey was
consensual sex, not rape.
We can talk on that matter later my lord.
Right now our urgency is Honeys abortion.
So I request you and please request you
senior lawyer that dont mislead the Court.
I am misleading?
You seems to be the one
misleading the Court.
Your honour, you may take whatever time
you need to prove Aman guilty.
But we are losing Honeys time
for abortion.
take back the FIR against Aman
and accept that you tried to frame him.
Naina, it will take forever to prove Aman
guilty, this girl doesnt have time.
Your honour, Vaibhavi Sachdeva is trying to
intimidate me through her seniority.
But I have full faith in our judiciary.
Court needs to give a historical verdict
in this case.
Otherwise, how will you fall asleep?
At the end you are also a woman
and you too.
Rise high and fly above all,
like a falcon
So that height doesn't get
proud of it's loftiness.
Order order
Its a court, not some entertainment house.
Court needs some time before reaching
any decision.
4th February will be the next hearing. The
court is adjourned till the next hearing.
This one here, 2nd line is wrong.
Type it again and show me the new print.
May I?
Please...
Youre doing good.
Thank you maam.
Water?
No, thank you.
We can get her compensation by
doing out of court settlement.
That will secure her future as well.
And you say that you are a woman?
I am a Lawyer and so are you.
You are my senior.
And I really respect you,
so please dont say something that
makes me stop respecting you.
Good luck Naina.
Thank you ma'am.
Greeting How are you doing?
Fine.
I wanted to talk to you,
could you come with me?
Where?
And what do want to talk about?
Trust me, I am your neighbour.
Whatever it is, it's for your greater good.
Come with me.
I apologise on his behalf,
I know what it's like to be a girls father.
And after all this, its a headache.
But trust me Aman is not like that.
He is a university topper.
He made a mistake, forgive him.
And sometimes both partners make mistakes
but these days only men get blamed for it.
Why have you called us here?
Be upfront.
Mr. Ramandeep,
It will spoil both the lives of our kids.
Due to this court case they are getting
defamed everywhere.
And now your daughters belly
I will beat him in front of you
and you also can kick him if you want.
But dont hang him for one mistake.
Take this case back and I will help you
Her abortion, studies and future.
I am ready to give you any amount of money.
Let's go Rammi.
Tea.
Can I say something?
Yes.
His father was right.
What are we getting out of this fight?
Whatever had to happen has happened.
And we dont know how long this case will go on for.
Its been 5 months already.
Listen to me,
lets take the case back.
And get her abortion done in a nice
hospital in another city.
He said he will pay for it.
No, mother.
Not now.
We have faced too much to step back now.
Everyone knows what happened with me.
Dad, dont listen to them.
I dont want their money
to do this abortion.
I want my right.
I want justice.
Stop talking like a child now at least.
We both know that this
justice thing doesnt work?
It's survival of the fittest.
I am not going to let you ruin your life
due to these stupid bookish fantasies.
And that lawyer,
she is also manipulating you.
Calm down Rammi,
you are losing your mind again.
Yes! Im losing my mind!
You two are very smart!
Honey, dont cry,
we are fighting right!
And we will fight
and set an example for the others.
Who's child are you?
Both of yours.
Whats wrong mom?
Why havent you eaten today?
Nothing baby, just trying to diet.
I am getting fat.
I know you are stressed
about Honeys case, right?
Yeah. Sometimes I feel suffocated
while sitting on that chair.
Sometimes you know
what is right and what is wrong.
But still to give any decision,
your hands are bound by the law.
I know mom,
but you have to take a stand.
There are so many judges who have given
historic judgements
And I want to be that proud girl
whos mother gave a verdict.
And set an example for others.
Your honour, we all are aware about the
story of Sage Vishwamitra and Menaka.
In this chapter, everyone blames the sage.
But have we ever thought that Menaka,
who was so young in age.
Why was she attracted towards Vishwamitra?
Your honour, everybody knows that she
was not a ttracted towards the sage but
she was told to seduce the
great sage Vishwimitra...
...And she did the same.
Similarly, Honey also did the same what
she was told to do.
Please be clear.
It's clear like a mirror,
we just need to see the mirror.
By not taking much of your time
I want to call Mr. Ramandeep Kohli
into the witness box.
Permission granted.
Thank you, your honour.
Mr. Kohli, what is your salary?
20 Thousand rupees.
That much is enough to run a home?
Yes, it gets difficult sometimes but..
-But? But what Mr. Kohli.?
-Yes, its not enough to run a home.
So how did u manage to send
your daughter for tuition?
Because, he was a good tutor
and he charged less fee.
And we thought he is a decent guy,
Point should be noted your homour,
Mr. Kohli thought Aman was a decent guy.
Objection my lord, my colleague is
misleading the case,
Overruled.
Thank you, your honour.
Tell me one thing Mr. Kohli,
did your daughter ever refuse to go to Aman?
No.
Thank you Mr. Kohli, you may go.
Your honour, I would like to call
Honey into the witness box.
Honey,
why did you want to study from Aman?
Because he used to teach well.
Did he ever scold you or
ask about the money?
No.
Thank you Honey, You may go.
Your honour, what kind of a decent
guy Aman is, to prove that
Objection my lord,
She is misleading the case again.
Overruled.
Thank you, your honour.
What is your name?
My name is Vijay Bedi.
Do you know Aman Sharma?
Yes, very well.
You may go.
Thank you.
Your name is Suresh right?
Yes.
I have heard that you run a small corner shop?
Yes I run a shop in this neighborhood.
A lot of kids must frequent the store?
What are you trying to say?
Im trying to say that
no responsible parents ever send their
daughter anywhere without
enquiring properly.
When everybody, including
Mr. Ramandeep Kohli
thinks that Aman is a decent guy,
then how did this incident happen?
I will tell you, your honour,
A middleclass man,
in an attempt to make money,
tries a shortcut
and sends his daughter to seduce Aman.
And the girl whom you are calling a minor,
is a very clever teenager.
A shrewd father's clever daughter.
What proves do you have?
Dont put allegations without any reason.
There is a reason, and the reason is to
get the money from Amans rich father.
And because of that my client Mr. Aman
Sharma has been behind bars since so many days.
What is the proof?
I have proof, this DVD is the proof.
Where they are talking about the settlement.
In front of Mr. Ramandeep Kolhi.
And Mr. Gopal Sharma is standing with
folded hands.
But his demands are too high that the
other party is not able to fulfil it.
And it's not new in our country. On traffic
signals parents teach their kids to beg.
And in some places, girls are given birth
so that they can make money
for the family in future.
You met his father and nobody thought of
informing me about it.
They came suddenly
But we did not do any settlement with them.
I swear on Honey.
-Seriously!
What will happen now?
Honey is a 14 year old who was raped.
But what is more painful than rape is
this court trial where she is facing many
baseless allegations and questions.
Everybody knows what happened with Honey.
Case is totally clear and one sided,
still, there has not
been and clear verdict.
We have with us Justice Shrama,
maam please shed some light on the case
Sorry, I cannot comment.
Ma'am just one question.
Suhasi,
I know but this case is really important.
Please try and understand.
I cannot go.
You are ruining her life mom.
Listen, I have transferred the money
in your account.
I feel ashamed of calling you my mom.
Suhasi, this is my job,
You need to, no I cant just go
No... this is your job.
Your keys....
Thank you...
Miss Naina, signal is green.
Alright
Honey?
Honey?
I wouldnt have been able to
handle what happened with me.
But my parents and miss
Naina became my support.
I also support my parents.
These things happen with
so many girls like me.
But nobody gets to know their stories.
My pregnancy news was a shock for us,
we couldve done the abortion illegally,
Without telling anyone.
But that is not the solution.
The culprit would roam around freely.
Please support me.
Because this fear is a common fear.
And we have to go beyond our fear.
I want my legal right to abort this fetus.
The person who did this to me...
I want to see him hanged.
I am not ashamed of showing
my face to the world.
But I was scared, of going out,
of going to school.
But not anymore,
when I havent done anything,
why should I hide and suffer?
Friends this is honey,
A 14 year old who was raped and
is facing many baseless
allegations is the court.
Hello Suhasi.
What are you doing mom?
I feel so ashamed to be your daughter.
Suhasi, just give me a break. You know,
I dont have to tell you anything.
And I dont want you to
tell me what is happening.
Why are you ruining her life?
These things shouldve come out earlier.
Ye go Honey, Im with you.
Honey is a young child,
And her brain is like wet clay pot.
Jahnvi, stop behaving like a kid!
Are you trying to tease me?
As if you care mom.
You are a judge right?
But I am a common girl and I can feel
happy and sad for her but not you.
Stop trying to change me
and let me be the way I am.
Don't try to control me.
Sir, you called me?
Yes.
I told you to cover CMs press conference?
And you are reporting
some useless rape news!
Sir, I told Aaksh to cover
that press conference.
Why Aakash?
You know that coverage was important?
What is there in this case?
One middle class girl,
and the rapist is also not high profile.
How will you get the news out of it?
Who is this Honey?
Who is Honey?
Who was Nirbhaya?
Who was Aasifa?
Who was that Telanagana Doctor
who was burnt alive?
Actually, those were rape
victims who couldnt survive.
Unfortunately, Honey is alive.
She would have been a news if she would
have died as well.
There would have been candle light protests,
Celebrities would join in and tweet about her.
Then, it would have been a news.
Right sir?
See Gagan, I dont run this channel.
I am answerable to people on the higher position.
And if you want to work then you should
bring news as per channels demands.
Alright sir..
If that is the case,
then hire someone who will
work as the channel says.
If I cannot work independently,
then why am I a journalist?
What is my job?
Hello.
Hello Gagan, where are you?
Im heading home sir.
Angry?
Okay, go to the studio and
start working on that story.
You can cover that news.
I am with you. Continue...
Okay sir.
I would like to call my next witness Seema.
Permission granted.
Seema, how do you know Aman?
He is from our village,
his grandfather is our landlord.
Which village?
Saror.
Your honour, this is the same village
where Aman was arrested from.
Seema, tell the court how Aman is like?
Okay, let it be
Your honour, Seema got pregnant from Aman once.
And she was forced to get
the abortion done illegally,
while Honeys parents did not do that.
Why?
Because they wanted their legal right.
I have these 5 written complaints
that were filed by
5 different girls against him
But still no action was taken against him.
Why?
We should ask the authorities.
Maybe they did not want to spoil
their reputation, we dont know.
My colleague gave us the
example of Mother Seeta.
She got married at the age of 12 years.
But that story is 7000 years old.
And I dont understand
how is it relevant in todays time?!
Why is our senior progressive
lawyer talking this nonsense?
Prosecution wants to say something?
I dont know what is happening my lord!
Who are these people?
Your honour, I want to call Honey
into the witness box.
Permission granted.
Maam, my mom says that
no matter what name you keep,
You will have to change it after marriage.
But why do I have to change my name?
There are so many confusions in life.
Regarding name, regarding subjects,
What I want to become?
I need time to understand.
Dad says that I will be responsible
for my life in the future.
I will have to take all the decisions.
Then why can't I take this decision to
terminate my pregnancy?
There are so many thing that
I dont understand.
I study each day, still I dont get it.
Its my life.
Then why Mom, Dad, and Miss Naina
are asking for your permission?
Please sit down. I was feeling
suffocated while sitting on that chair.
Court orders to make a bench of top
3 doctors From Delhi and Srinagar...
Who will look into the situation and
come up with a solutions for the abortion.
Court is adjourned.
What did you do?
I have paid you 14 lakhs already.
In this much amount I would have cleaned
their whole family.
And what did you do with your
big lawyer reputation?
Shut up Lower your tone.
Or else I will beat you with my shoe
till you shut up!
This is a court, if I want I can put
you behind the bars with your son.
Keep crying in jail for your 14 lakhs.
Now get lost, go...
Lets go, the wind is changing.
What is so funny?
Lets go.
Today whole country stands with Honey
and wants justice for her.
As they say justice can be
delayed but it cannot be denied.
And we believe that Aman
will be brought to justice.
Court is thankful to
doctor Joshi from AIIMS,
Dr. Bukhari from Sohra Hospital Sri Nagar,
and Dr. Vijay Tendulkar from
Apollo Hospital Delhi.
They being the top doctors understood the
responsibility towards the society.
And the reports of these 3 doctors says that
the abortion is possible.
And the abortion will happen in the
supervision of these top doctors.
Court orders to proceed with the
abortion as soon as possible.
This court holds Aman Bhardwaj culprit
and orders 10 years of imprisonment.
And regarding other complaints,
2 committees will be appointed.
The task of one committee will be to look
after Amans family
so that they dont misuse
their influence to affect the case.
And other committee will collect proof.
No member of both these committees should
be a family or relative of any party.
Truth triumphs evil defeats.
Okay I will call you later.
Naina Ahuja, you might find
it very hard to believe but...
...I am glad I lost the case.
Thank you very much ma'am.
Keep it up...
She is fine now.
We will discharge her tomorrow.
Thank you doctor.
The girl whos autograph Katrina asked
for is none other than our Honey.
Lakhs of people tweeted in Honeys support.
The whole country is with Honey.
And she has joined Am I Next campaign
So that someone else doesn't have to go through
what she had to go through.
You are impossible!
What if Honey sees us?
Lately she's been lost in her own world.
Lord knows what kind of exam
she's studying for!
Listen...
Drop this at the Mr Bedis house.
It will only take two minutes
Honey, hurry up
We are getting late.
Bye sweetheart,
Bye...

the city of Paris was in a state of alarm.
The Kind commanded troops to move
into the city.
Rumours spread that he would soon

What Im about to tell you now,
needs a lot of courage to digest.

Are you out of your mind?
She is 11 weeks pregnant,
you need to take good care of her.
And soon...

Why did she send me out?
Tell me?
There are scratches on it.
What have you done!?
What is this!?
Rammi, Rammi stop it! Leave her!
It's not right to beat your kid.
Where did we go wrong?
What went wrong in our upbringing?
We gave her everything, full freedom.
Who did you sleep with?
Who is the father of that baby?
Rammi, Stop it!
Is this how you talk to your daughter?!
Honey, did it happen with your consent?
Or did someone force you?
Honey, open the door!
Sweetheart, please open the door!
Honey!
Open the door!
Honey! Please open the door!
Washroom...
Honey,
Get up.
Give her a pillow.
Honey.. Get up.
Please Honey..
I'm right here my baby..
Please get up.
Dolly, she will do it properly right?
She's a senior nurse, don't worry.
Follow me...
Come in.
Madam, this is the girl.
I need to get her abortion done.
How much money?
-How old is she?
-14.
10,000 Rupees.
That is too much
This is a legal matter,
you will have to take legal help.
She is a minor, no genuine doctor
will agree to do her abortion.
And dont even think of getting it done
illegally from the wrong people.
She can have health issues,
it can risk her life
Stop..
Here, this is a home remedy,
give it to her.
It should work.
If it works, pay me 1000 Rupees,
my consultancy fees...
Dont worry She wont charge any fee
Naina is not just a lawyer
but also an activist
who works for womens welfare.
She has her own NGO..
And above all she is a woman
She is the right person for this case.
Drink...
Little more...
Call me immediately,
if you feel something.
Okay?
Keep drinking.
Listen, don't tell your dad.
Coming...
This is Naina, she is a lawyer.
She is going to help us
Alright, whatever you suggest ma'am.
But...
Dont worry...
I have seen so many such cases before.
Listen..
I'll be right back.
-Sure.
What are you doing?
What is that lawyer doing here?
We dont want to fight any case
We dont want any justice
People will gossip about us,
they will ask weird things.
Do you remember Param?
She was also She also filed a complaint.
What happened then?
Everyone came to know, everyone
And then one day She was found dead.
My Honey,
I will not let that happen to her.
We will adopt Honeys child
Rammi
We always wanted to have
another child right?
What nonsense are you talking about?
If she delivers a boy
Rammi...
Mr. Raman, calm down.
My Honey is a 14 years old girl
She is not able to say anything,
she is very scared
Don't worry, we've handled many cases like these.
What is your name dear?
Honey.
Is there someone in your school
that you dont like?
In your school bus? In the neighborhood?
Some uncle? Or any relative?
Cousin or your teacher?
Sir.. Aman sir.
What?
Who is this Aman?
Honey...
Do you know him?
Yes.
Aman is the tenant of
our neighbor Mr. Bedi.
Honey used to take tuition from him.
We never suspected him
Inspector, register the FIR,
I know what I have to do next.
Register the FIR under
section 345 of POCSO Act.
Wait, wait...
have some sweet curd
for the good luck.
Yeah
I know.
-Nervous?
-A little bit.
-C'mon, you'r going to kill it.
-Thank you baby for your support.
I'll see you later,
I have to rush.
-Okay
-Bye
Your honor, its not just
sad but shameful as well
that we are becoming the country of rapes..
Every girl child's security is every household's concern.
Every now and then we see cases like this
in our courtroom, in the headlines
of newspapers or hear such incidents
from our friends and relatives.
Government has implemented strict laws
but rape cases are still increasing.
Nirbhaya, Aasifa, Telangana doctor
are few for example and don't know how
many more go unnoticed and unregistered?
And who knows who is next.
It can be anyone, can be me
I stand here for a 14 year old girl who was brutally raped
and got pregnant due to that rape.
Your honor, no doctor is ready
to abort her fetus because its illegal.
I seek the right to choose
courts permission for her abortion
The court will look into the matter,
and will give its verdict on next hearing
The court is adjourned..
How is he like?
He is a good guy,
doesn't smoke, doesn't drink.
Okay
Always pays on time.
Alright...
He doesnt smoke, he doesnt take tobacco..
So does he borrow sweets from him?
Something is wrong here?
Keep an eye on him.
okay sir.
Aman is missing and Sach TV is the
first channel to bring you this news.
A group of Policemen have left
for his village Saror to arrest Aman.
-Which room?
-104.
We don't have time,
because with every passing day
her fetus is also growing.
I request the court to grant us
the permission to abort this Fetus.
We totally understand your concern
But court needs the girls statement first.
This court cannot give any verdict
without her statement
Who's there?
Room service.
Room service? In a lodge?
Even after putting up the DND sign?
Bastard, he escaped again.
Let's go.
Is there someone in the police
who is leaking out all the information?
Or has Aman left for an all India tour?
Where is Aman?
Police seems to be totally losing it.
Where is Aman? No one knows...
And now some officials
are blaming it on media
That its because of the media coverage that
Aman gets to know about police's next move.
This is Gagan reporting live for
Sach TV.
What are you thinking..?
I don't know,
I fear Mrs. Kohli might be right.
Honey Sweetheart,
Do you remember when you were a little
girl, you used to go to a nearby school?
And a dog used to scare you
on the way.
After you told me,
I suggested you to change your path.
I was wrong Sweetheart...
...Changing your path is
not always a solution.
I taught you to protect yourself
but I couldnt teach you to fight
It's my fault
No baby..
This is not the time to cry.
The man who wronged you
should not go unpunished.
Otherwise he will bite
someone else's Honey.
He should be punished right?
The court needs your statement.
Otherwise,
I will not be able to get permission.
-How many fingers are there?
-Four.
Have something first.
You haven't seen a girl before?
I have! I see one everyday,
dancing to Katrina and Kanganas songs.
Nonsense.
-Give me 200 Rupees
-What for?
-For staring at me
Im gonna give you a tight slap
I have to fill a scholarship form.
It will be amazing if I win the scholarship
Amazing, How?
My fees for the next
quarter will be waived
And?
English speaking course
at 50% discount can you imagine?
And?
And a free trip to Mumbai during vacation
Yes, now we're talking. Trip.. Free!
Yes...
So you will go to Mumbai
and meet Katrina and Kangana there.
And I will get bored here
Why don't you go for a
second honeymoon with Dad.
We can't even handle this one Honey
We don't need the second one.

-Now let me study. DND...

Sir, I dont understand

See write down BODMAS in front
of you and then solve it.
Its just like a game.
Just follow your instinct.
Do you play games?
-Yes, but not these days.
I get tired after the games and
it becomes difficult to study then
You should do some exercise.
Okay.
It will also increase your intelligence
and you will not even feel tired...
So teach me then
It's time for my gym now.

Bedi Uncle,
Aman sir sent this.
He said to listen to it on full volume.
Okay, I will
Alright.
I gave him the CD.
Aman sir...
Let go!
What could have I done?
Your honor,
now we have the victims statement.
we have recorded this Video
in the presence of the police.
As I have already stated
the urgency of the matter,
I request the court to take
quick action on this matter.
Court will review the the statement
and take decision accordingly
But your honour we dont have time
The court has its procedure...
We cannot just give a verdict
without following the due process of law
You tell me?
Okay, thank you sir.
Honey one question.
We have with us the victim, Honey.
Honey was raped and got pregnat,
the father of her child is missing.
Honey, whatever ellegations you have
put on Aman, are they true?
One minute, what are you doing?
Have you lost your mind?
I'm just doing my job.
Really, this is your job?
Can't you see how distressed she is.
Rather than asking her,
have some empathy ans ask youself
How would you feel?
Had you been in her place?
There are many real issues out
there that you should cover.
But all you guys want is TRP.
Now excuse us.
Let's go...
Catch him...
Proceed.
Thank you...With all the evidences
submitted to the court,
I request the court to grant us
the permission to abort the fetus.
Prosecution...
My lord,
this is my client Mr. Aman Bhardwaj.
I need some more time to collect the evidences
to prove his innocence to the court.
Look at his condition,
the police have beaten him up mercilessly.
Your honor,
he is accusing us falsely.
The court orders to keep Aman Bhardwaj
into strict legal custody for 14 days
and his trail should be held in
the fast track court.
But abortion of a minor is a
complicated issue.
This court cannot give a verdict on that.
The court is adjourned.
Where is the scooter?
Let Miss Naina come!
You all don't worry,
I will go to the High court.
Thank you for all this,
but stop it now.
Enough is enough.
Let's go.
What do we do now?
You go home,
I will go to the High court
and get the permission.
There's a call for you.
Yes.
Which Police station?
Aman got arrested.
Why?
For Rape.
Oh Damn, rape?
He got cought?
Call the best lawyer in the city.
Listen, I need the best lawyer,
nothing, a small rape case.
Mahinder!
Yes, brother in law.
It's been more than an hour,
when is she coming.
She must be on her way.
Ma'am what about lunch?
The usual.
We have Gupta Vs. State hearing
post lunch and Shiba's bail
have been applied for.
Ma'am I really think you need to,
This is Mr. Gopal,
She will call us.
I should get you and Aman steralized,
only then you will hold your horses.
What are you saying?
Vaibhavi Sachdeva,
the same Vaibhavi Sachdeva
Who gave legal relief to Rehmat Khan,
Vijay Chopra and reality show star
Babbar B the previous year.
Presently she is one of the top
criminal lawyers in India.
Naina!
Mrs. Rammi wants to talk.
As expected,
Yes...
Let us live now,
I can understand your anger.
You don't understand anything Miss Naina,
Honey doesn't have time
And somehow I arranged...
Somehow what?
Don't put her health and life at risk.
So many women get it done,
they didn't die.
If that's the case then why is it illegal?
That I don't know.
Mrs Rammi, after going so far
I am not gonna step back.
We will go to the high court.
That's your son there.
Come here...
You rascal, did I raise you for this day?
You could've called someone over
if you were feeling so horny.
There are online services also.
There she is...
Greetings.
So, he's your son?
Yes.
I called her for extra classes,
she came home and started seducing me.
And I did what any other
man would have done.
and what do other men do?
Tell me?
You were not ashamed while
raping her, what happened now?
Why do you want to save him?
Because he's your son?
Yes ma'am.
That girl seduced him,
he is being framed.
He is a brilliant student.
You will have to be ready
with a lot of money.
The case is really weak.
How much?
Minimun 2 Lakhs per hearing.
Media is also involved in this case
and it's about my reputation.
She is too expensive.
Two Lakhs.
Don't worry,
We will sell the farmland.
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking about that girl you know.
If you want to succeed then you
need to do something really big.
People don't want to hear the truth
It's boring.
Bring something interesting.
But sir?
No but, only guts.
We are standing outside Jammu High Court
where the court is going to hear Honey's case
After a disappoiting decision by
the lower court.
Honey and her parents have come
to High court seeking Justice.
Sach TV will keep you posted
regarding the updates of this case.
This is Gagan, with cameraman Sanju.
Reporting live for sach TV.
My Lord.
Prohibited! We have heard and
seen this word in so many places.
On the streets, in our homes and offices.
We make these boundaries, so that we
can function without any disturbance.
I want to ask the court,
Why this 14 year old doesn't have
this right to conveniece?
Why can't she make a decision
so that her life doesn't get disturbed?
My Lord, I request the court to
grant us the permission to abortion.
Because if it gets delayed,
her life can be at risk.
A 14 year old's delivery, her future,
her health,
who will take responsibility for that.
I request your fast decision on this.
Naina, I understand the matter.
But this is a complicated case.
We need medical opinion.
Court will appoint a doctor,
who will examine the victim
and tell the court if abortion is possible.
Thank you your honor.
Opposition wants to ask something?
No questions, your honor.
The court is adjourned.
Naina,
what happened in the court room?
I am not allowed to share any court
proceedings. It's prohibited by the Court.
Miss Naina, don't you think that
Honey should be addressed and treated
like an adult and not as a minor.
And Naina do you think that there can
be a possibility of an affair between
Honey and Aman.
What a filthy question is this?
See we all know that Honey is a minor.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Suhasi, what is this childlike behaviour?
This is my job, I can't just
Just a sec...
Ma'am please tell us about the case.
I cannot give you any comment right now,
I have to wait.
This is Vaibhavi Sachdeva,
A famous criminal lawyer.
Vaibhavi, despite being a woman yourself,
rather than supporting Honey,
You have taken up this job of saving
the criminal. May I ask why?
Who is a criminal and who is a victim,
if you and I can decide that then
Why do we need the Judiciary?
Now excuse me, I have another hearing, please.
She charged us 2 lakhs just for
saying "No Comment".
Girls these days...
My son is innocent.
And you are not even saying anything.
Chanakya has written that
dogs, women and these lower class people
they won't get in line
unless you beat them.
I am sorry ma'am
I think I am losing my mind.
Please do something.
I am bying time Mr. Sharma.
The case is actually really weak.
And I need to extend it somehow.
And how will that help?
Just wait and watch.
Where are you going?
I'm going to school.
But sweetheart,
What are doing?
It's her exam.
You both have lost your minds,
As if I am her enemy.
Honey, show me your sheets
Please, let me copy...
No..
Shush.. No
Nothing happened.
Let's go inside.
I'm going for the hearing,
I will call you if you are needed.
Till then, you all sit here.
Doctor can present the report.
Your honour,
I examined the girl and saw her reports
But its a complicated matter
because the fetus has crossed 24 weeks.
Now abortion is a kind of foeticide.
Not only that your honour,
the mother herself is a minor.
It can be dangerous for her,
she might die during the process.
I am sorry to say,
medically abortion is a big no.
Okay thank you doctor,
you can sit.
Okay, thank you mam.
Court needs some time.
We will discuss this matter further after lunch.
Let's have some food everybody.
What will happen now?
Dont worry sweetheart,
I will talk to the Judge.
Everything will be fine.
Dont worry.
Let's have food.
Have some..
As per MTP Act,
before 24 weeks it is permissible for
a mother to abort the child.
But after 24 weeks,
not even the mother is allowed
to terminate the pregnancy.
Doctor's reports also say the same
that it is very dangerous for her.
Sorry, I can't grant her permission.
Prosecution wants to ask something?
No my lord.
I agree with you your honour,
but that happens in a normal situation
where couples have consensual sex.
Pardon my language your honour.
But this is a case of rape.
Honey was rapped...
And she was never Involved in this and
she never wanted to keep the child.
How did these 24 weeks pass?
In courts proceedings your honour.
So, is this little girl responsible
for these 24 weeks?
What are you trying to say?
Its the courts fault.
No, I didnt mean that..
But to an extent yes.
This is ridiculous!
Now you will question the court?
Are you aware that you are insulting
the court.
I am sorry your honour,
I seek your pardon
Because I know if I speak openly here,
anything can happen.
My license can be taken away,
I can get debarred.
Anything can happen.
When not even a lawyer is allowed
to speak the truth in these courts,
then I feel sorry that in this country No
ones allowed to speak but the Politicians.
In the 21st century, we are still fighting
for freedom of speech.
This little girl doesnt have any
right over her body!
Still we are very proud,
I dont understand why?
I want to say something my Lord.
Naina Ahuja is being
unnecessarily emotional.
She had been my assistant in the past,
still she didnt learn
that cases are won on the basis
of facts not just by blabbering.
I am very sympathetic towards
this young girl my lord..
Because I myself am a woman
And you are also a woman
And we know that to be a woman,
you have to feel womanhood first.
And after that you are whatever you are.
But I object when she says that
this is a case of rape, whereas it's not.
I can give you thousands of examples,
where in girls get sexually active
at a very early age.
Take the example of Mother Sita,
she got married at the age of 12
And ancient history is filled with
this kind of examples.
In our country, 11-12 years had been
considered an ideal marriageable age.
And Honey is a 14-15 year old teenager.
And she looks pretty attractive.
Objection your honour, I dont
understand what she is trying to prove.
Overruled
Thank you, your honour.
Im trying to prove that whatever
happened between Aman and Honey was
consensual sex, not rape.
We can talk on that matter later my lord.
Right now our urgency is Honeys abortion.
So I request you and please request you
senior lawyer that dont mislead the Court.
I am misleading?
You seems to be the one
misleading the Court.
Your honour, you may take whatever time
you need to prove Aman guilty.
But we are losing Honeys time
for abortion.
take back the FIR against Aman
and accept that you tried to frame him.
Naina, it will take forever to prove Aman
guilty, this girl doesnt have time.
Your honour, Vaibhavi Sachdeva is trying to
intimidate me through her seniority.
But I have full faith in our judiciary.
Court needs to give a historical verdict
in this case.
Otherwise, how will you fall asleep?
At the end you are also a woman
and you too.
Rise high and fly above all,
like a falcon
So that height doesn't get
proud of it's loftiness.
Order order
Its a court, not some entertainment house.
Court needs some time before reaching
any decision.
4th February will be the next hearing. The
court is adjourned till the next hearing.
This one here, 2nd line is wrong.
Type it again and show me the new print.
May I?
Please...
Youre doing good.
Thank you maam.
Water?
No, thank you.
We can get her compensation by
doing out of court settlement.
That will secure her future as well.
And you say that you are a woman?
I am a Lawyer and so are you.
You are my senior.
And I really respect you,
so please dont say something that
makes me stop respecting you.
Good luck Naina.
Thank you ma'am.
Greeting How are you doing?
Fine.
I wanted to talk to you,
could you come with me?
Where?
And what do want to talk about?
Trust me, I am your neighbour.
Whatever it is, it's for your greater good.
Come with me.
I apologise on his behalf,
I know what it's like to be a girls father.
And after all this, its a headache.
But trust me Aman is not like that.
He is a university topper.
He made a mistake, forgive him.
And sometimes both partners make mistakes
but these days only men get blamed for it.
Why have you called us here?
Be upfront.
Mr. Ramandeep,
It will spoil both the lives of our kids.
Due to this court case they are getting
defamed everywhere.
And now your daughters belly
I will beat him in front of you
and you also can kick him if you want.
But dont hang him for one mistake.
Take this case back and I will help you
Her abortion, studies and future.
I am ready to give you any amount of money.
Let's go Rammi.
Tea.
Can I say something?
Yes.
His father was right.
What are we getting out of this fight?
Whatever had to happen has happened.
And we dont know how long this case will go on for.
Its been 5 months already.
Listen to me,
lets take the case back.
And get her abortion done in a nice
hospital in another city.
He said he will pay for it.
No, mother.
Not now.
We have faced too much to step back now.
Everyone knows what happened with me.
Dad, dont listen to them.
I dont want their money
to do this abortion.
I want my right.
I want justice.
Stop talking like a child now at least.
We both know that this
justice thing doesnt work?
It's survival of the fittest.
I am not going to let you ruin your life
due to these stupid bookish fantasies.
And that lawyer,
she is also manipulating you.
Calm down Rammi,
you are losing your mind again.
Yes! Im losing my mind!
You two are very smart!
Honey, dont cry,
we are fighting right!
And we will fight
and set an example for the others.
Who's child are you?
Both of yours.
Whats wrong mom?
Why havent you eaten today?
Nothing baby, just trying to diet.
I am getting fat.
I know you are stressed
about Honeys case, right?
Yeah. Sometimes I feel suffocated
while sitting on that chair.
Sometimes you know
what is right and what is wrong.
But still to give any decision,
your hands are bound by the law.
I know mom,
but you have to take a stand.
There are so many judges who have given
historic judgements
And I want to be that proud girl
whos mother gave a verdict.
And set an example for others.
Your honour, we all are aware about the
story of Sage Vishwamitra and Menaka.
In this chapter, everyone blames the sage.
But have we ever thought that Menaka,
who was so young in age.
Why was she attracted towards Vishwamitra?
Your honour, everybody knows that she
was not a ttracted towards the sage but
she was told to seduce the
great sage Vishwimitra...
...And she did the same.
Similarly, Honey also did the same what
she was told to do.
Please be clear.
It's clear like a mirror,
we just need to see the mirror.
By not taking much of your time
I want to call Mr. Ramandeep Kohli
into the witness box.
Permission granted.
Thank you, your honour.
Mr. Kohli, what is your salary?
20 Thousand rupees.
That much is enough to run a home?
Yes, it gets difficult sometimes but..
-But? But what Mr. Kohli.?
-Yes, its not enough to run a home.
So how did u manage to send
your daughter for tuition?
Because, he was a good tutor
and he charged less fee.
And we thought he is a decent guy,
Point should be noted your homour,
Mr. Kohli thought Aman was a decent guy.
Objection my lord, my colleague is
misleading the case,
Overruled.
Thank you, your honour.
Tell me one thing Mr. Kohli,
did your daughter ever refuse to go to Aman?
No.
Thank you Mr. Kohli, you may go.
Your honour, I would like to call
Honey into the witness box.
Honey,
why did you want to study from Aman?
Because he used to teach well.
Did he ever scold you or
ask about the money?
No.
Thank you Honey, You may go.
Your honour, what kind of a decent
guy Aman is, to prove that
Objection my lord,
She is misleading the case again.
Overruled.
Thank you, your honour.
What is your name?
My name is Vijay Bedi.
Do you know Aman Sharma?
Yes, very well.
You may go.
Thank you.
Your name is Suresh right?
Yes.
I have heard that you run a small corner shop?
Yes I run a shop in this neighborhood.
A lot of kids must frequent the store?
What are you trying to say?
Im trying to say that
no responsible parents ever send their
daughter anywhere without
enquiring properly.
When everybody, including
Mr. Ramandeep Kohli
thinks that Aman is a decent guy,
then how did this incident happen?
I will tell you, your honour,
A middleclass man,
in an attempt to make money,
tries a shortcut
and sends his daughter to seduce Aman.
And the girl whom you are calling a minor,
is a very clever teenager.
A shrewd father's clever daughter.
What proves do you have?
Dont put allegations without any reason.
There is a reason, and the reason is to
get the money from Amans rich father.
And because of that my client Mr. Aman
Sharma has been behind bars since so many days.
What is the proof?
I have proof, this DVD is the proof.
Where they are talking about the settlement.
In front of Mr. Ramandeep Kolhi.
And Mr. Gopal Sharma is standing with
folded hands.
But his demands are too high that the
other party is not able to fulfil it.
And it's not new in our country. On traffic
signals parents teach their kids to beg.
And in some places, girls are given birth
so that they can make money
for the family in future.
You met his father and nobody thought of
informing me about it.
They came suddenly
But we did not do any settlement with them.
I swear on Honey.
-Seriously!
What will happen now?
Honey is a 14 year old who was raped.
But what is more painful than rape is
this court trial where she is facing many
baseless allegations and questions.
Everybody knows what happened with Honey.
Case is totally clear and one sided,
still, there has not
been and clear verdict.
We have with us Justice Shrama,
maam please shed some light on the case
Sorry, I cannot comment.
Ma'am just one question.
Suhasi,
I know but this case is really important.
Please try and understand.
I cannot go.
You are ruining her life mom.
Listen, I have transferred the money
in your account.
I feel ashamed of calling you my mom.
Suhasi, this is my job,
You need to, no I cant just go
No... this is your job.
Your keys....
Thank you...
Miss Naina, signal is green.
Alright
Honey?
Honey?
I wouldnt have been able to
handle what happened with me.
But my parents and miss
Naina became my support.
I also support my parents.
These things happen with
so many girls like me.
But nobody gets to know their stories.
My pregnancy news was a shock for us,
we couldve done the abortion illegally,
Without telling anyone.
But that is not the solution.
The culprit would roam around freely.
Please support me.
Because this fear is a common fear.
And we have to go beyond our fear.
I want my legal right to abort this fetus.
The person who did this to me...
I want to see him hanged.
I am not ashamed of showing
my face to the world.
But I was scared, of going out,
of going to school.
But not anymore,
when I havent done anything,
why should I hide and suffer?
Friends this is honey,
A 14 year old who was raped and
is facing many baseless
allegations is the court.
Hello Suhasi.
What are you doing mom?
I feel so ashamed to be your daughter.
Suhasi, just give me a break. You know,
I dont have to tell you anything.
And I dont want you to
tell me what is happening.
Why are you ruining her life?
These things shouldve come out earlier.
Ye go Honey, Im with you.
Honey is a young child,
And her brain is like wet clay pot.
Jahnvi, stop behaving like a kid!
Are you trying to tease me?
As if you care mom.
You are a judge right?
But I am a common girl and I can feel
happy and sad for her but not you.
Stop trying to change me
and let me be the way I am.
Don't try to control me.
Sir, you called me?
Yes.
I told you to cover CMs press conference?
And you are reporting
some useless rape news!
Sir, I told Aaksh to cover
that press conference.
Why Aakash?
You know that coverage was important?
What is there in this case?
One middle class girl,
and the rapist is also not high profile.
How will you get the news out of it?
Who is this Honey?
Who is Honey?
Who was Nirbhaya?
Who was Aasifa?
Who was that Telanagana Doctor
who was burnt alive?
Actually, those were rape
victims who couldnt survive.
Unfortunately, Honey is alive.
She would have been a news if she would
have died as well.
There would have been candle light protests,
Celebrities would join in and tweet about her.
Then, it would have been a news.
Right sir?
See Gagan, I dont run this channel.
I am answerable to people on the higher position.
And if you want to work then you should
bring news as per channels demands.
Alright sir..
If that is the case,
then hire someone who will
work as the channel says.
If I cannot work independently,
then why am I a journalist?
What is my job?
Hello.
Hello Gagan, where are you?
Im heading home sir.
Angry?
Okay, go to the studio and
start working on that story.
You can cover that news.
I am with you. Continue...
Okay sir.
I would like to call my next witness Seema.
Permission granted.
Seema, how do you know Aman?
He is from our village,
his grandfather is our landlord.
Which village?
Saror.
Your honour, this is the same village
where Aman was arrested from.
Seema, tell the court how Aman is like?
Okay, let it be
Your honour, Seema got pregnant from Aman once.
And she was forced to get
the abortion done illegally,
while Honeys parents did not do that.
Why?
Because they wanted their legal right.
I have these 5 written complaints
that were filed by
5 different girls against him
But still no action was taken against him.
Why?
We should ask the authorities.
Maybe they did not want to spoil
their reputation, we dont know.
My colleague gave us the
example of Mother Seeta.
She got married at the age of 12 years.
But that story is 7000 years old.
And I dont understand
how is it relevant in todays time?!
Why is our senior progressive
lawyer talking this nonsense?
Prosecution wants to say something?
I dont know what is happening my lord!
Who are these people?
Your honour, I want to call Honey
into the witness box.
Permission granted.
Maam, my mom says that
no matter what name you keep,
You will have to change it after marriage.
But why do I have to change my name?
There are so many confusions in life.
Regarding name, regarding subjects,
What I want to become?
I need time to understand.
Dad says that I will be responsible
for my life in the future.
I will have to take all the decisions.
Then why can't I take this decision to
terminate my pregnancy?
There are so many thing that
I dont understand.
I study each day, still I dont get it.
Its my life.
Then why Mom, Dad, and Miss Naina
are asking for your permission?
Please sit down. I was feeling
suffocated while sitting on that chair.
Court orders to make a bench of top
3 doctors From Delhi and Srinagar...
Who will look into the situation and
come up with a solutions for the abortion.
Court is adjourned.
What did you do?
I have paid you 14 lakhs already.
In this much amount I would have cleaned
their whole family.
And what did you do with your
big lawyer reputation?
Shut up Lower your tone.
Or else I will beat you with my shoe
till you shut up!
This is a court, if I want I can put
you behind the bars with your son.
Keep crying in jail for your 14 lakhs.
Now get lost, go...
Lets go, the wind is changing.
What is so funny?
Lets go.
Today whole country stands with Honey
and wants justice for her.
As they say justice can be
delayed but it cannot be denied.
And we believe that Aman
will be brought to justice.
Court is thankful to
doctor Joshi from AIIMS,
Dr. Bukhari from Sohra Hospital Sri Nagar,
and Dr. Vijay Tendulkar from
Apollo Hospital Delhi.
They being the top doctors understood the
responsibility towards the society.
And the reports of these 3 doctors says that
the abortion is possible.
And the abortion will happen in the
supervision of these top doctors.
Court orders to proceed with the
abortion as soon as possible.
This court holds Aman Bhardwaj culprit
and orders 10 years of imprisonment.
And regarding other complaints,
2 committees will be appointed.
The task of one committee will be to look
after Amans family
so that they dont misuse
their influence to affect the case.
And other committee will collect proof.
No member of both these committees should
be a family or relative of any party.
Truth triumphs evil defeats.
Okay I will call you later.
Naina Ahuja, you might find
it very hard to believe but...
...I am glad I lost the case.
Thank you very much ma'am.
Keep it up...
She is fine now.
We will discharge her tomorrow.
Thank you doctor.
The girl whos autograph Katrina asked
for is none other than our Honey.
Lakhs of people tweeted in Honeys support.
The whole country is with Honey.
And she has joined Am I Next campaign
So that someone else doesn't have to go through
what she had to go through.
