So, what happened after Project Vyjayanti?
Our defeat in Project Vyjayanti was
a big blow.
Though we had video evidence
and Advocate Amar Giri on our side,
we lost in court.
It took a long time for us
to come to terms with that defeat.
But we did not stop.
We...
(placid music)
Sir?
Isn't that enough?
- But, sir... - It's already late.
I've got to take my medicines
and some patients are waiting.
Maybe later? Hmm?
Got it.
(sentimental music)
(opening theme music)
(Jasmine) It's a special court primarily handling pharma cases.
- What about the media? - There's hardly anything for them.
- Nobody will turn up. - Good.
- So it will be a quick wrap-up. - Absolutely.
- Good morning. - Hi. Morning.
Hi.
- Hi, Adam. - Please do come.
(Aravind) So yeah, there's this medical conference
that's happening in Manila.
Yes, Gulati.
Rajiv...
Amar Giri won't be able to make it.
What?
You know how much money we are paying him?
I know.
He's sick, Rajiv.
Seriously sick.
He won't be able to make it.
I think maybe his associates might just...
Associates?
They're not even senior counsels, Gulati!
You know how young they are?
I know, Rajiv.
But the senior counsels are here in Mumbai,
and it'll take them some time to get to Kochi, so...
So? Then what?
Can't we just postpone the date or you know--
No, no, no.
That's not possible.
And you know that.
Yeah, Rajiv.
Yes, I know.
(Rajiv sighs)
(dramatic music)
This is our third meeting. Isn't it?
Hopefully the last.
(Aravind scoffs)
(tense music)
(usher) All rise.
Hasn't the senior counsel come?
No, ma'am. He couldn't come today. He's sick.
Due to some medical emergency, he couldn't come.
I'm representing the matter for today.
Hmm.
Now...
Is the CEO of RXLH here?
As per the directions of this honourable court,
the CEO of RX Life Healthcare Ltd. is personally present.
Okay.
(usher) Aravind, CEO of RX Life Healthcare Ltd.
Ma'am.
RXLH promises complete cooperation
with the entire process and terms of this special court.
Hmm.
(Zaathi lawyer) The drugs from RX Life Healthcare Ltd.
must be taken up urgently for this commission's inquiry.
This criminal conspiracy, disguised under the name "KydoXin study",
has turned a whole generation into patients.
Your honour,
this is a baseless and false allegation.
However,
if it is proven that anybody faced health issues due to our drugs,
the company is ready to pay them the necessary compensation
and bear their further treatment expenses.
Okay.
And as per our company's corporate social responsibility policy,
RX Life Healthcare Ltd. agrees to pay ₹20 lakh each
to all 220 complainant families immediately.
Agreeing?
Yes, ma'am.
And we are ready for immediate disbursement too.
Okay.
(judge) Are the compensation details filed in written format?
(RXLH lawyer) Yes, ma'am.
(Keshu) Haven't we won the case?
(judge) So, a total of ₹44 crore.
(RXLH lawyer) Yes, ma'am.
No, Keshu.
This is where we lose.
(judge) Send the intimation to all the concerned parties.
When they receive such a huge compensation and further treatment,
no family can turn them down.
(judge) You'll have to deposit the sum.
(Savithri) They won't fight a case against the company either.
Slowly, they will get themselves out of this case.
And the company will win.
Compared to the profit they made,
this is peanuts for them.
(sad music)
Okay. We'll take a five-minute break.
Anything else?
No. It's just formalities. I can take it from here.
Okay, good.
Well played, K.P. Well played.
For a few days, you really got us.
But you know what?
I overestimated you.
I told Jasmine you'll get at least 300 cases.
So, we were ready with a ₹60 crore allocation.
Just 220?
(ominous music)
But I guess, well played!
- (RXLH lawyer) I told you, right? - (both chuckle)
See you.
(tense music)
Yeah, you can send the car now.
I'll wait.
Sure.
(music intensifies)
(indistinct chatter)
(phone buzzing)
Yeah.
Aravind, there's a small problem.
What?
It's not just about KydoXin.
Then?
It's about KydZure also.
What? KydZure?
They are filing a fresh petition against KydZure.
What is wrong with KydZure?
(tense music)
(usher) All rise.
Something is really wrong.
I'll get back to you.
Hello? Hello, Jasmine?
(ominous music)
Objection, your honour.
Anyway, the commission's looking into
several pharma firms and drugs, right?
What's the problem if this is also added to that list?
Objection overruled.
(indistinct chatter)
(footsteps approaching)
(intense music)
(K.P.) I felt suspicious when I saw the efexomanine molecule in KydZure.
When several lab reports from across India confirmed the same,
we were certain that
long-term KydZure use could cause serious side effects in kids.
(Zaathi lawyer) Your honour,
we're submitting certified lab reports
to this commission.
This report clearly proves
the presence of dangerous molecules in KydZure.
(K.P.)After all, I've been your blue-collar employee for years.
I managed to get a copy of the warning email
sent by your research and development team.
The warning email that advises the marketing team
not to launch this drug in the market at any cost.
That too will be produced at this court now.
(Zaathi lawyer) The warning email issued
by the research and development team,
their own team,
shows that the criminal liability is upon them
for selling this product
that is unsafe for kids.
When you were going around different parts of India
and burning down the KydoXin files,
we were after KydZure.
(music intensifies)
(K.P.) We went and met the doctors
who prescribed KydZure as part of your so-called study,
as well as their patients.
We showed reports from various labs
and convinced most of the doctors.
When the doctors too supported the cause,
the patients agreed to reach the court.
Our next concern was
how to gather these many people from different parts of the country.
More than a thousand kids are ready to reach the court
and give their testimony.
(K.P.) Dr. Vijay sponsored all the expenses
to transport all these people to the court.
No court can turn a blind eye to what kids have to say.
Your downfall is just beginning.
All these kids will go inside and give their testimony
that they were forced to take KydZure.
The investigation that will start with it
will extend to every drug from your company.
You will have to answer for
Janaki's and Mashood's murders as well.
I overestimated you,
Mr. Aravind.
(uplifting music)
(song starts playing)
(loud thud)
(Zaathi lawyer) There are studies and conferences
the same company conducted
for selling their other drugs.
I request that the court verify them as well
as part of the investigation.
(sharp thud)
(intense music)
(sharp thud)
(judge) Serious accusations have been levelled against
RX Life Healthcare Ltd.
Prima facie, the court finds enough evidence against the company.
Accordingly, the court orders a further investigation.
During the course of the investigation,
the manufacturing, distribution and marketing of KydZure are suspended
with immediate effect.
The court also orders
the investigation include a verification
of the study concerning the company's drug KydoXin
and an examination of the unexplained deaths
of individuals related to the study.
The court commends the organisation Zaathi
for its commitment to raising this important issue.
(triumphant music)
Have we won the case now?
No. It is our first step towards victory.
Just the first step?
Come.
The media guys are here.
Yeah, that will go on for a couple of days!
So when will we really win?
It'll be moved to the next court after this.
And there are many more courts.
Gotta go to each of them, wait...
And slowly, but surely...
we will win.
(bell dings)
- Come on, move. Fast. - Okay, fine.
(indistinct news on TV)
(in Hindi) Sir... Your food.
- What? - Your food, sir.
Didn't you bring water?
- I'll bring it in a moment, sir. - (news on TV) Breaking news!
The Supreme Court delivered a landmark verdict
ordering the permanent shutdown of
the pharmaceutical giant RX Life Healthcare Ltd.
The company was asked to shut down
for non-compliance with proper manufacturing practices
and other continued procedural lapses.
The Kerala High Court had directed RXLH
to issue a full recall of the medicines
and compensate the affected families.
But that's not all.
The CEO Aravind is now on the run,
with reports emerging that he has gone into hiding,
leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions
and outraged stakeholders.
Protesters and affected families have been demanding
Aravind's arrest and prosecution for years,
and his disappearance has sparked widespread outrage.
- RXLH's assets have been frozen... - Sir!
...and the investigation is underway into Aravind's financial dealings.
The Supreme Court's verdict today upholds earlier rulings,
citing gross negligence and criminal recklessness
on the part of RX Life Healthcare Ltd.
- The majority of... - (boy gasps)
(commentator) This is the last ball, and four runs to win.
(inspector) Okay, sir. We are at the spot.
- The body has been identified. - (news about RXLH continues on TV)
We're sending it for autopsy.
I will inform Ajay sir.
(Malayalam news reporter) Aravind, the CEO of RX Life Healthcare Ltd.
was found dead at a lodge in Lucknow.
Yes!
That's a boundary!
What a shot! Superb!
(news reporter) The other day, the Supreme Court had approved
the Kerala High Court's verdict
- to shut down the company. - (all cheering and applauding)
Mom, we won!
(news reporter) The nation considers this verdict a historic victory,
resulting from years of hard work by the organisation Zaathi.
After the company's assets were seized...
Yes, we won.
...Aravind had gone missing.
CEO ARAVIND FOUND DEAD POLICE CITE SUICIDE AFTER PHARMA VERDICT
(triumphant music)
Congrats.
I always say, right?
That you're the king of comebacks?
(phone beeps)
Yes!
All okay?
Okay. See you.
(sentimental music)
(crowd applauding)
Welcome to Zaathi.
This is an exciting year as we enter new sectors.
But what excites me the most is you guys.
The new joinees this year.
The future of Zaathi.
Our dark knights.
Welcome on board, soldiers.
(audience applauds)
- May I? - Yes.
Which sector are we going to enter next?
Vaccines.
Sir, are we really going to fight all the evil corporations?
No, no.
We are not going to fight them.
We are going to...
burn them!
