Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a legal drama film: "Jai Bhim "
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The story starts in front of the prison,
where the loved ones of the inmates are waiting for their release
The police officers divide the inmates depending on their society's caste
They release the inmates from the upper and middle castes;
while the inmates from lower castes are accused of committing crimes in multiple pending cases,
making them the scapegoats in order to increase the police's clear-up rates
An inmate pleads to the police officers to release him
because his family are waiting for his release
Despite their appeal, the police officers force the inmate to board the bus
This scene perfectly shows how brutal the justice system is, for the less fortunate people
In the fields of the upper-caste landowners, a couple from the Irula tribe,
short-named Raja and his wife, are busy catching rats and snakes,
together with other people from their tribe to control the infestation
the wife is listening on the radio, when his husband Raja, teases him about having a baby
the wife smiles endlessly and tells him that she will conceive a baby whenever he wishes
The owner of the fields arrives and gets irritated, because they dig a lot
Raja explains that they need to do it in order to catch all the rats and snakes,
but assures him that they will fix everything before they leave
The owner doesn't look pleased, and says hurtful words
Raja looks sad when the owner leaves, because their hard work was not noticed
Despite this, the people leave the place with a smile on their faces
It rains a lot in the evening
Raja and the wife are busy putting pots on the floor, because the roof leaks due to the heavy rain
Raja promises his wife that he will build a brick house for her before he dies
The next morning in the village, while the rich woman is wearing her jewelry,
her earring drops on the floor
When she is about to get it, a snake appears; then it eats the rat
The rich woman screams to death
They decide to call Raja to catch the snake
His tribe is well-known for making herbal medicine and catching snakes
Raja enters the room of the rich woman, and looks at the closet
He doesn't find the snake;
but he sees the earring of the rich lady on the floor, so he picks it up and gives it to her
Then he goes to another room, and finally finds the snake
He uses a hand signal to command the snake; and it magically follows him
The rich man orders him to kill it
but he refuses, because if not for the snakes, their town is already infested heavily with rats
Later, the rich couple need to go to the town; but their car isn't starting
so Raja pushes it until the car activates
The rich man gives him money
but he rejects it because he just did it for free,
saying that the rich woman is from the same village as him
However, the rich lady gets offended,
and denies that she came from a lowly tribe; she then mocks Raja
Despite the favor that he has given,
he is not appreciated by the rich people, because he is from a lower caste tribe
That evening, Raja's family, together with his tribe members,
attend the class of a village teacher the teacher, who teaches them how to read and write
Raja tells the teacher that even if they learn how to read,
they will not be able to get a land title deed
They are not even allowed to vote, because they don't own a house in the village
the teacher smiles, and tells him that they should learn to read first;
then everything else will follow
The next day, they attend a tribal ceremony in the seashore;
when suddenly, the wife suffers from a headache
She asks Raja to come closer, and whispers that she is pregnant
Raja carries his eldest daughter, then dances out of happiness while announcing the good news
Raja needs to go to another place to work
his wife wants to go with him; but he doesn't allow her because she is pregnant
With a heavy heart, Raja leaves his daughter and pregnant wife for work
The following day, a commotion happens in the rich man's house
They call for investigators, because the jewels of the rich woman are missing
The police investigate and check the whole house, and find fingerprints on the closet
The rich man tells the police that they went out of town for a couple of days,
and are very surprised when returning home, they find out that the jewels are all missing
The rich lady suspects that Raja visited their house earlier and found her earring,
so he should be the one who robbed them; that's why the police go to his house that evening
but they don't find him there;
so they forcefully arrest his pregnant wife, and other family members instead
the teacher hears what happened to Raja's family; so she asks Chandru's help
He is a well-known lawful lawyer, who fights for the rights of the people
the teacher and the wife go to Chandru's house
the wife tells Chandru how the police brutally hurt,
and forced them to admit the crime that they did not do
Some of their family members were released;
but unfortunately, Raja together with his sister, brother and nephew, remain detained
In the prison, due to the pain caused by the police' tortue,
Raja's brother just wants to confess the crime;
but Raja disagrees, saying that the wounds will heal in a couple of days,
but the insulting mark as thieves will remain forever
According to the wife, because of the humiliation, Raja's sister commits suicide by drinking poison
the wife cries endlessly, while narrating how the police torture their family
the wife shares that she received very alarming news later,
that his husband, brother, and nephew escaped from prison
Despite being pregnant, she tirelessly looks for her husband everywhere, but fails to find him
She is already hopeless, and doesn't know what to do
Chandru is very disappointed after knowing the whole story
He cannot fathom how the police were able to do such brutal acts
the teacher hands over a police report to Chandru,
regarding Raja and his brothers' escape in prison with the stolen money and jewels
Included in the report are the statement of the eyewitnesses,
the receipt of the jewels that are pawned, and the fingerprints of Raja in the rich man's house
Chandru studies and examines the evidence well
He admits that the case is very complicated,
because it is not just against the police, but the government as well
After that, Chandru and the wife go to the court to file a habeas corpus case,
which the court approves
Some lawyers mock Chandru, and tell that he is just lucky
but he frankly tells them that he doesn't believe in luck, but only in truth
The police officers who detained Raja and his family, go to court to explain their side
They give the evidence,
and the statement of the eyewitnesses that Raja and his family escaped in prison
Chandru exclaims that he has no faith in the police report,
and would like to cross-examine and summon the government's eyewitnesses, which the court approves
The day of the hearing comes
The people gossip that it is the first time in Bangalore history,
in a Habeas Corpus case that a witness stand is brought in;
and it is not even a VIP case, but just a case of an ordinary tribal woman
The police, together with their eyewitnesses, arrive at the hearing
Their lawyer assures them that they don't need to worry,
because everything is in favor of them; and their case will surely be dismissed
The first eyewitness to testify on the witness stand, is the doctor who claims to have treated Raja
Chandru finds out that the doctor is fake;
but unfortunately, he does not find any information about the other two eyewitnesses
Before the judges dismiss the case, Chandru asks to examine the inspector,
who did the police report and investigated the case
the court approves the petition
Chandru interrogates the inspector, even though he is not so cooperative
In order to figure out their lies, Chandru personally went to the clinic,
where Raja and his family were treated; to the drug store where the medicines were brought;
and to the police station where they were imprisoned
According to the report, when the prisoners escaped, they ran to the clinic,
and after the treatment they bought the prescriptions in the drug store
Chandru justifies that the clinic is two kilometers in the east from the station,
while the medical shop is one kilometer in the west from the station
so it is impossible for the prisoners to run that far in a short time without being seen
He also presents the report that the inspector made,
and proves that the handwriting is the same as the police officer who torture the prisoners
In the face of the evidence, the inspector has to admit that he covers the truth,
by signing the report that they gave to help his fellow officers
The evidence and the eyewitnesses are fake as well
The eyewitnesses confess that they lied, because they cannot refuse the police's demands
Finally, the court approves Chandru to file a government report
The police, together with their lawyer, go to the advocate general to ask for help
He takes over the case to defend the police, and to prove that the accused really escaped
Raja's wife is waiting for Chandru's phone call, when the police arrive
They want the wife to come with them
but she refuses, saying that she will not go anywhere without her lawyer's permission
The police forcefully bring her daughter to the station
That's why she doesn't have any choice, but to go there
The police beg for her forgiveness, and ask her to withdraw the case
but she refuses
so the head of the police slaps and threatens her
Suddenly, the phone rings
It's from the director-general of the police
He commands them to release the wife and her daughter immediately,
and bring them home, or all of them will be arrested
It turns out, Chandru contacts the head of the judge,
to inform that the police threatened his clients
That's why the director-general has to take action, to stop the police's abuse of power
Raja's wife refuses to ride the police car back home, despite the plea of the police
She walks straight with her daughter, while the police follow them
The people are stunned to see the wife being escorted back by the police
The day of the next hearing arrives
The opponent presents a new witness, the rice mill owner, whom Raja's brother works for
He testifies that he received a phone call someday from Raja's brother,
telling him that they escaped from the police, and decided to escape to another city Kerala
Chandru is very surprised upon hearing it,
because the wife didn't mention to him about the phone call
so he asks for more time to cross-examine the witness; which the court approves
Chandru is very disappointed, and would like to drop the case because of the sudden testimony
the teacher explains that they chose not to tell Chandru about the phone call,
because they know that he will not handle the case if he knows that
She begs Chandru to continue the case, because she believes that the accused are innocent
they are illiterate and don't know about numbers, meaning that they cannot make a phone call
Upon hearing that, Chandru gets the phone records in the rice mill, and calls all the numbers
Finally, he reaches a phone booth in Kerala
In order to figure out the truth, they decide to go there to talk to the owner of the phone booth
After a long trip, they arrive in the city of Kerala, and talk to the owner of the phone booth
but unfortunately, he just tells them he doesn't remember the men that they are talking about
They don't lose hope, and continue their journey in looking for Raja and his loved ones
The phone booth owner pities the wife;
so he approves to stand as witness, and tells what happened a month ago
He narrates that he saw three people inside his phone booth, and tried to interrupt them
but he was told that they are police officers,
and they are using the phone to deliver an important case
The court interrogates the head of the police;
and he admits that he just mimicked the voice of Raja's brother
Chandru requests a new inspector general to investigate the case; and the court approves it
The new inspector general visits the tribe,
and cannot believe the harassment that they experienced from the police
Finally, after their thorough investigation,
they find out that Raja's body was found on the side of the road, the day after he supposedly fled
His body was cremated as an unknown man
Meanwhile, the police go to the advocate general to confess the truth that they tortured Raja,
leading to his death in their custody
So they threw his body on the side of the road,
while his brother and nephew were transferred to a different jail in Kerala
Since there is no eyewitness nor evidence regarding the crime that the police commit,
the advocate general wants them to cover the truth, and tells the court that they did beat Raja;
but he died because of an accident after he escaped
In the court, the advocate general asks the judges to dismiss the petition,
because the police are innocent; and Raja died in an accident after his escape
but Chandru disagrees and asks to cross-examine one of the police
He asks the time that they found out that Raja and his family are missing,
and what time they reported it to the head officer
but he lies and tells a different time to cover the truth
However, according to the report, the prisoners ran away at 9:50 pm,
and the police called the head officer at 10:10 pm to report the situation
but Chandru checks the call history, proving that he called the head officer at 9:10 pm,
and there is no call recorded at 9:50 pm
Chandru asks for more time to investigate, which the court permits
Meanwhile, the advocate general talks to Chandru,
and tells him that they want to settle with the wife
but Chandru refuses, because they will fight until they receive justice
Chandru convinces the townspeople to protest and demand justice, which is shown in the news
Because of that, the situation becomes more intense,
as many people find out about the wrongdoings of the police
The director-general of the police asks the inspector general to settle with Raja's wife,
to withdraw the case for the department's sake
but he refuses because of his conscience
Because of that, the director-general invites Raja's wife to his office,
and offers her a huge amount of money
but she refuses, because she wants justice to be served,
and demands to know the truth behind her husband's death
The inspector general and Chandru continue their investigation
They already have the forensic report from the rich man's house,
the doctor's report after he examined Raja's body, and the details of the pawnbroker
Based on the evidence, Chandru concludes that the one who made the phone call,
was really Raja's brother, but he was just forced by the police
Finally, they find Raja's brother and nephew in jail in Kerala
The day of the final hearing comes
Raja's brother and nephew testify how they were tortured by the police
In Raja's nephew's testimony, when Raja said that he didn't steal,
the head officer kicked him in the chest, knocking him out
Raja's brother lost consciousness as well
so he called the police to inform them of his uncles' condition
A police officer entered the cell to wake them up
but he failed, so he called another officer to transfer Raja's nephew to another room
They put chili powder on their faces, trying to wake Raja and his brother
Luckily, Raja's brother woke up, and was transferred to the room with his nephew
Unfortunately, Raja died; and they were transferred to a jail in Kerala
The advocate general justifies that the nephew didn't witness that Raja died in police custody,
and insists that his broken ribs should be caused by a car accident
The doctor who examined the dead body, agreed to the advocate general
but he adds that he finds chili powder in Raja's eyes,
which proves that the testimony of his nephew is true
Afterward, the inspector general shows evidence that the police were able to catch the real thief,
who robbed the rich man's house; but they received bribes from the thief,
and tried to make Raja the scapegoat
He also shows pictures of tire marks, and shoe marks on the road,
where Raja's body was found, which match with those of the police
Therefore, it proves that the police threw Raja's body on the side of the road to cover his death
but little did they know that they left evidence on the location
Finally, the court announced their verdict that the police should be arrested;
and the victims should be compensated
Raja's wife and the whole Irula tribe thank Chandru for fighting for their rights
Chandru attends the inauguration of the wife's new house
At long last, Raja's dream to give his wife a house made of bricks, is fulfilled
