The very first time I watched ‘Nayak’, starring Anil Kapoor, I ridiculed that movie as a whole because somewhere down the line I thought why would any person put his life on the line to save other people (except our army and policemen). Then these IAS officers showed that good people in this world, especially in administration, do exist.
