Pari (2018) - full transcript

A man rescues a mysterious woman from the jungle.

Dad?

Look, Dad, my hands are tied.

Dad!
Dad, untie my hands!

Dad!

Dad, please untie my hands,
look they are tied.

My hands are hurting,
please untie them.

Dad! Where have you brought me?

Please untie my hands!

Mom!
Where have you brought me, Dad?

Dad, untie my hands.

Untie them, Dad! Please!



What is wrong with you?
Let go of me!

Where have you brought me?
What's wrong with you, Dad?

Let me go.
Where are you taking me?

Hello, sir.

Hello.

All the tasks you assigned me are done.

All the rooms including the study
have been set up.

In fact, Professor himself set the study.

What about the internet and the phone?

Sir, I'll set up the connections
tomorrow. It won't take time.

I told you to do it before my arrival.
I reminded you on call as well.

You did, sir, but there
were some problems yesterday.

I'll set up the connections tomorrow.

Man, you took an advance for the paint
but you didn't paint the roof.



Yes, sir. I'll get it done in two days.

This side of the house is done.
Only the backside is left.

Pari!

You scared the hell out of me.

It's so peaceful in here.

This peace is what's haunting me.

What do you mean?

Nothing. I didn't mean anything.

We sold everything...

and invested all our savings
to get this beautiful place.

And now you are saying
that this peace is haunting you?

Moving in here was a mutual decision.

What's bothering you now?

Are you upset with me?

You know, I can't be upset with you.

Not even if I make a mistake?

Have you made a mistake
or are you about to make one?

Pari!

Pari...

-Mehwish.
-Apologize to your dad.

Mehwish!

What are you waiting for?
I said apologize to him.

It's okay. We both were just playing
and such things happens. Right?

Pari is my daughter
as well as my best buddy.

And buddies do not
apologize to each other.

-Right, buddy?
-Will you please keep quiet?

Apologize to your dad right now.

Mehwish...

Now go to your room.
Go.

What's wrong, Mehwish?
She is just a kid.

Wasn't slapping her enough...

that you made her apologize as well?

THE TEACHINGS OF THE DEVIL

Wow. Setting up your own paradise here?

Here's some coffee.
Drink it if you want to.

Why aren't you talking to me?

We'll talk in the morning.
I have loads of work to do.

What's so important that you can't
spare two minutes to talk?

Not right now, Mehwish.

Please.

Are you mad at me?

I should not have misbehaved with you.

I don't know what
happens to me sometimes.

Look. I am even holding my ears.

It won't ever happen again.

Forgive me.

I told you, Mehwish.
We'll talk in the morning.

We'll talk in the morning.

What's wrong with you, Mehwish?
Tell me!

What happened, Mehwish?

Why are you behaving like this?

Now that I am talking to you,
you are crying.

What's wrong?

I have left for Islamabad.

Have to receive payment
from the publisher.

And I'll be meeting Professor
on my way back.

He helped us get such a beautiful house.

I want to thank him in person.

By the way, you look really
beautiful when you're asleep.

Only I know how I have resisted myself.

Pari.

Are you still sleepy, honey?

Come on, it's time for breakfast.

Oh! So you won't even talk to me now?

Why are you doing this to me?

Pari...

Come on.
Don't throw tantrums.

I am your mother for God's sake.

If you don't behave yourself,
I'll slap you again.

Come on, Mom. Let's play.

-No, Pari. Not now please.
-Please.

No. Not now, Pari.

I am very tired.

I have to set up everything.

Pari.

Pari.

Pari!

God is love.

God is the eternal and complete love.

He takes care of His men
and makes them His friends,

who look after His creations,
and loves them.

Tell me, what did the God's messengers do?

They used to take
care and spread love

that's why their teachings...

are still alive.

The holy saint has said that...

the best among you are those,

who are kind to each other.

The messengers of God
spread the same message.

My brothers,
spread love among each other...

and take good care of each other.

This is what the messengers taught...

and this is exactly what God,

and His Holy Prophet loved the most.

Anger!

Anger is what's destroying you,
spit it out.

Will everything be okay if I do so?

Everything is already okay.

How are you, Abdullah?

Getting signs from God?

You'll find the path too.
Have patience.

One more, darling. Just one more.

Let go, you pervert!

Let go of me!

If you don't want to kiss, then don't.
At least don't hit me, darling.

Hey! Show yourself!

Why are you troubling me?

Face me.

Abdullah!

Abdullah!

Abdullah...

Shehram.

Shehram?

Who are you?
What do you want?

I've been observing you since morning.

Why are you standing
in front of my house?

I am talking to you. Answer me!

This kid is the devil.
Throw her out of your house.

-Throw her out. She will destroy you.
-What are you saying?

She will destroy you!
Throw her out of your house!

Throw her... out of your house.

She will destroy you!

Throw her out!
She will destroy you! She will...

Leave! Preach this
nonsense to someone else.

Throw her out!

You bastard! Leave, right now!

-She will destroy you.
-Get out of here!

So you refuse to leave?
Wait right here!

Shehram.

This kid is the devil.
Throw her out of your house.

She will destroy you!
Throw her out of your house!

I pray that...

Pari?

Bastard.

He went away,
but left me with nightmares.

What are you doing here?

I was looking for you.

What are you doing here?

And why do you look upset?

Nothing.

What's wrong, Mehwish?

You've been behaving strangely
since we moved here.

Are you okay?

Mehwish?

-Is everything okay?
-It's nothing.

Mehwish.

Where do you think you are going?

I am talking to you.

Why do you even bother?

When you refuse to take any
efforts, why do you bother?

I have told you so many
times to offer your prayers.

And if you don't want to do it,
at least ask Pari to do it.

I told you so many times
to get this home blessed.

I never asked you to do it.

A couple of children from the
nearby mosque could've done it.

But you had issues with that as well.

And today, you crossed all the limits!

A stranger comes to our house
and says that our daughter is the devil

and you go to bed, sleeping peacefully
as if nothing happened?

-Do you want some water?
-What?

Here, have some.
Then you can scold me.

Shehram, what's going on?

Why is this happening to us?

It's driving me crazy.

Mehwish! What's this?

What kind of a scar is this?

You don't know how this happened?

I just noticed it.

-We should go to a doctor.
-Yeah.

By the way,
you are getting natural tattoos.

Nobody can beat you in being cheesy.

It's my cheesiness that
has held our marriage for so long.

Everything will be fine.

Shehram!

Shehram!

Mehwish!

Are you there?

Where the hell is everyone!

Sir? How come you are here at this hour?

Where is your car?

I... was out since this afternoon.

It takes an hour to reach
your place from the city.

So I thought that I'd spend the
afternoon with you guys

and leave before sunset.

Okay, sir.

"Okay, sir?"

It was as if the devil's
force didn't want me to be here.

When I left,
my driver started throwing up.

I took him to the hospital.
It was the dengue virus.

I got him admitted there,
informed his family members.

And by the time I left the hospital,
it was already evening.

I was driving on my own.

On my way here,
two of my car's tires got punctured.

I couldn't take it anymore.

I thought I would leave my car,
go back home,

and then inform you guys
that I won't be coming over.

You should have gone back.

There was no need to take the trouble.

What are you talking about?

Don't interfere. What was I saying?

Sir, about the puncture.

Sir, how about we continue
this interesting conversation inside?

-Please come in.
-I said whatever I had to.

Now take me inside.

How are you?

Oh, I had such a terrible day...

Oh! Who is this angel?

Hello, my dear.

How old are you, Pari?

I... I'll bring the cake.

What is this?

What is all this?

Shehram, are you on drugs?
What is this?

Why are you worried?

I ask because you are
celebrating her birthday today

while the date mentioned is long gone.

Why is the date 6-6-2016?

I agree that I am old
and that the society is moving fast.

Sorry, I forgot to check
before buying the cake.

No problem.

Doesn't matter what's written.
We know the truth, right?

If... on my next birthday,

you bring a cake with 1990 written on it,
won't change anything, right?

Come on, let's cut the cake.

Hurry up!

It was very difficult for me to be here.

Let's sing the birthday song now.

Come on!

Pari.

Come on, dear.

First, blow off the candles.

Oh, I am sorry.

I have diabetes.

Give it to your parents.

Give it to your mom...

What happened?

Shehram, I know power cuts
are a common occurrence in Karachi.

Didn't know it happened here as well.

Give me five minutes,
I'll switch on the generator.

Okay, go ahead.

Be careful.

Sit here.

Pari, sit with sir.

Your mom and I will be right back.
Let's go, Mehwish.

I am fine right here, Shehram.

I might need some help.
What's wrong with you? Let's go.

Pari, sit with sir, okay?
Mehwish...

come on, let's go.

By the way, have you ever
thought of cleaning this room?

Hurry up, Shehram.

Hold this.

By the way, which room is
the generator connected to?

Why are you sweating
in such a cold weather?

Are you alright?

Just hurry up.

Pari?

Pari?

Pari, my dear?

Pari!

Pari!

Shehram!

Shehram!

Pari...
Shehram!

Shehram!

Shehram!

Who is it?

Shehram!

Shehram...

What is taking so long? Hurry up.

-Hello, Doctor.
-Hello.

How is he feeling?

It was a minor attack.

We have given him the necessary treatment

but we'll have to shift him to Islamabad.

And the ambulance?

Those things are being taken care of.

-Can we meet him?
-Yes.

Pari, stay here.
We'll be right back.

Mehwish, come here.

Mehwish.

Tell me the truth.

Who is Pari?

Whose child is she?

The truth...

Professor!

Professor!

Professor!

The body

Made of dust

The body...

Made of dust

The body

Made of dust

What did he mean?

Whose daughter is Pari?

What's wrong, Shehram?
What are you talking about?

Is Pari my daughter?
Yes or no?

Oh, devotee

Listen to the

Omnipotent

His voice

Is silent

In the things present around

Oh, Allah!

Oh, Allah!

In the things present around

Restrain your actions

Try to listen to Him

Body made of dust,
Don't turn into fire

Body made of dust,

Don't turn into fire

You're made of dust

Body made of dust,

Don't turn into fire

The body

Made of dust

Here, give it to me.

Can you see someone behind you?

I can see everything clearly.

-Look over there.
-What is it? Why are you hitting me?

What is it?

Can you see somebody over there?

Is that a rhetorical question?

Can you see it or not?

Go easy on the drugs, bro.
They're driving you crazy.

What do you want?

Shehram!

Mom!

Open the door, Mom!

Mehwish!

Mehwish!

Mehwish!

Mehwish!

Mehwish?

Pari?

Pari.

Pari?

Shehram, wake up!
I can't find Pari.

I checked everywhere,
she is not in her room either.

Please do something.

Pari!

Pari!

Grandma used to tell me

That empty houses

Are haunted by spirits

The ones that are not visible

Often, when I'm alone...

I see somebody

I don't understand

What he wants to tell me

He is scary

Pari!

Dad!

Pari...

He's very naughty

He doesn't appear to be human

Perhaps he's an evil spirit

Grandma used to tell me

Grandma used to tell me

-Shehram, there is--
-What happened, Mehwish?

Shehram, something...
Wait, Shehram. Listen to me.

Where were you?

You're a good girl, aren't you?

Mehwish!

You should receive it.

Yes, I'll talk to them. Bye.

I am going to the market.

I'll bring some breakfast
and medicines for you.

Do you need anything else?

Pari, do you want anything?

Look after your mother.

Okay?

Call me if you need anything else. Okay?

Shehram.

You'll be fine.

Okay.

Do take care of your mother, Pari.

Listen to me.

You'll need my help.

There is...
There is something in your house.

Your daughter...

she is not yours.

You'll need my help or else
your life will fall apart.

Listen to me, you need to hear this.
Your life is in danger.

You'll need my help.

Leave me alone.

I am warning you, you'll need my help.

There is something in your house.
It will destroy your family.

Please go away.

Listen to me, you'll be ruined.
That girl is not your daughter.

Please go away.

I thought of talking
to you a million times.

I consoled myself that
you will understand.

You want to know the truth, Shehram?

You really want to know
the truth about Pari?

Last year, in January

you went abroad for your book launch.

Pari.

Pari.

Pari.

Pari.

I kept calling out to her
over and over again.

I thought she was doing this to annoy me.

Pari.

Pari.

Our Pari had died, Shehram.

Pari!

I thought of calling
the doctor or an ambulance.

But the doctor would have
just confirmed what I already knew.

My only child was dead.

My only daughter was dead, Shehram.

How did I find the book that had a way
of bringing back the dead to life?

Why did I surrender
myself to ungodly ways?

Why did a mother's love
win over a woman's faith? I don't know.

After losing my child, my life...

I had nothing to lose.

Our daughter is the devil.
God's curse is falling upon us.

She is the devil.

Hell is calling out to me.

I can't offer prayers anymore.
I can't take God's name.

Mehwish!

Mehwish!

How did this...

Mehwish!

It's a severe head injury, Shehram.

Her brain is in a state of shock.

Its showing zero activity.

We're doing our best.

If she doesn't regain consciousness
in the next 48 hours

we'll have to put her on a ventilator.

Try to finish the work on time!

Are you alright, sir?

Who is that man in the picture?

Sir, he was one of the
board of directors of this hospital.

He used to be the richest man in town.

He didn't have any family except
an eight year old son, who had eye cancer.

The boy went through a lot expensive
treatments but nothing worked.

He used to live nearby.
Have you seen that house on the hills?

In the middle of the jungle?

He used to live there.

He was so desperate to get his son cured

that he even consulted a sorcerer.

The treatment took his son's life

and in the state of anger,
he killed the sorcerer.

After that day, his house
became a living hell for him.

So he abandoned everything

and started living as a heretic.

There is a shrine nearby,
you will definitely find him there.

I have heard that a family has
recently moved into that house.

-Listen.
-Yes?

Where is that shrine?

Oh, Allah!

The wounds

Of the soul

Are very

Deep

The words of criticism

Leave behind wounds

That are very deep

Allah, the world fights

Against self-deception

The world

Goes to your shrine

With a lot of hope

Oh, Allah!

Oh, Allah!

Oh, Allah!

Oh, Allah!

Oh, Allah!

Oh, Allah!

Who are you looking for, son?

You won't find Abdullah here.

From the earth we come,
to the earth we shall return.

Who are you and what
do you know about me?

From the earth we come,
to the earth we shall return.

The world goes to your shrine with hopes

Did you offer your prayers?

I think it is time.

Oh, Allah!

Oh, Allah!

Oh, Allah!

Oh, Allah!

Oh, Allah!

This kid is the devil.
Throw her out of your house.

-Throw her out of your house.
-What are you saying?

She'll destroy you!

-Leave, right now!
-She'll destroy you!

Throw her out!

Oh, Allah!

Who is Pari?

Oh, Allah!

Whose child is she?

Allah!

Let go of me, Dad.
Where are you taking me?

That girl is not your daughter.

Get me out of here, Dad!
Dad, please!

I'll suffocate here! Dad!

Untie me!
Get me out of here!

Have you lost your mind, Dad?

I am choking down here.

Untie me! What are you doing?

Please get me out of here, Dad.

I'll die! Dad!

You have made a huge mistake!

You think you can defeat me?

Make a fresh start

Make a fresh start

Make a fresh start

Make a fresh start

My Lord

Forgive me

My Lord

Forgive me

You didn't understand

The ways of the Lord

Oh, Lord! Oh, Allah!

May he forgive you

You've been punished

Your soul has been hurt

It echoes everywhere

From the earth we come,
to the earth we shall return.

Did you offer your prayers?
I think it is time.

Oh, Allah!

Oh, Allah!

Oh, Allah!

"We belong to Allah
and to Him we shall return.

Allah is the greatest!

Glory be to You, Allah,
and all praises are due to You.

Blessed is Your name
and none is worthy of worship but You.

Allah is the greatest!

Praise is only for Allah,
Lord of the universe.

You are the most compassionate
and merciful.

The Master of the Judgment Day.

You alone we worship...

and to You alone we pray for help.

Lead us along the straight path,
the path of those You have blessed.

Who have not deserved Your wrath,
nor gone astray.

Allah is the greatest!

Oh, Allah, send grace
and honor on Muhammad

and on the true followers of Muhammad,

just as you sent grace
and honor on Ibrahim

and the true followers of Ibrahim.

You are the most praiseworthy,

the Exalted.

Peace and mercy of Allah be on you."

Pari!

My child!

My child...
