But suddenly Meghna is back, and what is the secret that she holds?

kilometers for that. May we go?

Uncle! Boss!

Do you have a matchbox? Hey!

No! That's fine!

Good to know that
you are still alive.

What do you think?
Will the train come?

And if it comes, will it leave?

The bridges should be strong!
Not built by a corrupt man, I hope!

If the bridge collapses, it
will create another problem.

Oh brother...

Forgive me, I thought you were
a man and asked for matches!

...I am really sorry!

You're a girl! And that too
very beautiful! Please forgive me!

Excuse me... do you have a matchbox?

May I? Don't you laugh? I mean it
is good to have a sense of humor.

Don't tell me your name.

My name is Amar Kanth
Verma of All India Radio!

You just tell me
where you were you born?

Or tell me the name of any relative!

Tell me your mother's name.

Even the name of your dog
will do! Johnny! Jimmy! Rosi!

Say something! Even if it is to
say: shut up! Shut up! Just shut up!

Can I get you something?
Can I get you the stars?

Or capture a fort for you? Or
can I tell you a story, a joke.

Cigarette. there is no matchbox.

Look, I mean you are alone!
May I bring something for you?

A cup of hot tea!

In a moment!

I'll get it right away.

Don't go away! There's
a bomb in my suitcase!

If you move this will...

This... Don't move!
I'll be back in a moment!

Uncle! Uncle! Make two
cups of tea with lots of milk!

your tea, come, make it for me.

All India Radio. What's your name?
- Kapil! Dev?

Hey! Where's the boss?

At the market!

You cheat everyone!
You're all crooks!

Listen to me.

I shall not give you
a single paisa more.

All India Radio?
- Radio? Go away.

Because we are outsiders,
you want to fleece us.

Excuse me, are you
from All India Radio?

After I finish this quarrel!

You people are crooks.

Do you have change for rupees 50?

Maybe!
- Give me twenty rupees! - What?

Give me twenty rupees!
- Here it is!

No. No.
- Take this.

Nothing doing. You
have become very stubborn.

I will wait for you at the jeep.

I have been taking
vegetables for so many years.

Keep it there.

Keep this, I owe you twenty rupees!
- Alright!

I couldn't talk to you
because I was quarrelling.

I forget the local swear
words when I am interrupted.

Taral Dev Burman, station director.

Station director?
- Yes.

I knew it would be you, I am sorry.

No! Don't throw it! India
can't afford such waste!

Come and sit down!
- What do you think?

How has India developed...

...during fifty
years of independence?

How has India developed during
fifty years of independence? - Yes.

Independence? - Yes. - What
independence are you talking about?

We don't have any independence.

What is he saying? - He said
that there is no freedom for him.

Is it getting recorded?

There has been so much development.

Petty leaders became
rich and started looting us.

Has free India progressed?
- No!

The Central
Government terrorizes us.

It does injustice
and says to the world...

...that we are free.
Can we call this freedom?

Yes! There is progress!

Speak louder!

How could it not progress?

What do you think? Has
India progressed or not?

Yes! It has progressed!

India is the best!

Our beloved India is
the best in the world!

The recording will be at 5 o'clock.
- Good morning, madam. - Good morning.

Tell me one thing, have you ever
met terrorists or their leader?

I've two children! Don't
you want to see them happy?

Hey! Is the recording done?
- Yes, madam.

I am going to meet them!

Have you gone mad? Why?

To interview them!

You won't return alive!

I've already told him that!

Amar! We work for the radio,
not for a newspaper!

There is no need to
sensationalize this.

They are dangerous people.

Mrs. Burman, my job is to find out
what an Indian thinks and feels...

...after fifty years of independence.

Do you have to go into
forests to ask them this question?

It is necessary, Mrs. Burman.

They belong to this
country and are angry with us.

Don't you want to know what
they think and why this is so?

It's impossible! They
will refuse to meet you!

Everything is arranged!
A jeep will pick us up!

Didn't Shukla tell you?
- Yes, indeed.

You made these arrangements?

Why would I, but...

He wanted to see a tree... - Mrs.
Burman just a minute - Hold this.

But asked for a forest...

In Delhi he meets people
but there are no trees...

He said that he wanted to go to
a forest. - Just listen. - Hey!

"Let's dance under
the shadow of love."

"Let's dance under
the shadow of love."

"Let's dance with
heaven under our feet."

"Let's dance with
heaven under our feet."

Hello! Hello! - "Let's
dance to the music of romance."

"Let's dance to the
music of romance."

I... I want to give you something.

I owe you a cup of tea!
Remember? Hot tea!

Will you have it
here or at a restaurant?

There's a restaurant here!

Leave me alone.

You did not recognize me?

We met on the platform and
I asked you for a matchbox.

For a matchbox?
- Yes! - Platform?

Half long station! You had worn
a black shawl! It was raining...

That wasn't me!

Just a minute!

Look, I don't know you!

Amar Kanth Verma, All India Radio.

You're mistaken! It must've
been some other girl! - No!

I am sorry. It wasn't you?

Hey! - "Let's dance with
Heaven under our feet."

"Let's dance with
heaven under our feet."

"Let's dance to the
music of romance."

"Let's dance to the
music of romance."

"Let's dance to the
music of romance."

"Let's dance to the
music of romance."

No! Not you!

Mr. Shukla, Can you see anything?

Yes! What is it?
- Death's knell!

Don't be afraid?

Why should I be
ashamed of being afraid?

Brother!
- What?

You be in the front.

Brother!
- What is it?

That's a lady's voice!

What is your name?
- I...

Keep quiet! No! Not you!
What is your age?

Hey, listen to me for a second.

Since when have you
been doing all this?

I've two wives and eight sons!
I am not yet tired of life!

I don't want to die by the bullet!

Please leave us! - Since when you've been doing this?

Come with me.
- Yes, brother.

Come, do it fast Come!
Let's have some tea!

Don't talk to me now!

Don't be angry!

We are just...

Look there. Come.

This is for the radio,
so please speak in Hindi.

You won't speak my language
but I must speak in yours?

It's not that! I've prepared
the questions in English! - Ok.

Thank you.

First of all, I wanted to ask you
that you look exactly like we do!

Absolutely normal!

What else did you expect?

What is your aim?

Your aim.
- Independence!

Independence!

From whom?
- From your government.

The Indian Government!

Why?
- Why?

Yes, why?

So many promises were
made to us 50 years ago...

...when India
became independent but...

...none of the
promises were kept and...

...we were exploited and
oppressed by your army.

Yet, this is your country!
- No!

That's what you
think but Delhi is India.

States like ours
which lie in one corner...

...do not mean a
thing to you! Ask me why!

Why?

Because we are small states!
It is not big state.

Delhi is only
interested in the bigger states.

We've been left to die here.

Terrorist... - We are not
terrorists! We're revolutionaries!

From where do you get your weapons?

From where do you get your guts?

Where do you get the weapons from?

From anywhere.

I've heard that
Pakistan and China help you.

That you get weapons from
across the border, and you...

I cannot say anything.

You hand over weapons
to young children and...

...turn them into
terrorists for your selfish reasons.

That's enough! Let's go!

He is worthy of our cause!
He has courage and daring!

If you ever leave the Radio,
come and join us. Now go. Take him.

It was night. Half loung station.

He was waiting.

The train was to come
but the rain came instead.

The rain droplets were playing
like the kids tearing the sky.

The trees were swinging as
if they had lost their senses.

The branches of the trees
dashed against one another.

It was raining so heavily
as if to sink the world.

In all this, I saw
somebody on the other platform.

Brother! Do you have a matchbox?

The wind blew the cloth from
her head on to her shoulders.

Girl.
- "Hey stranger...

...please call out from somewhere..."

Dark brooding eyes chubby cheeks...

...flat nose as if stuck in a hurry.

"You live a fragmented life,
I know not where." - Golden...

The moment he saw the
girl he decided to...

...save her from the bandits
and take her away on a horse.

But there were no horses or bandits.

I thought you were a man and
asked for a matchbox! Sorry!

She made no reply...
just a quick magical look.

"Hey stranger..."

Why doesn't she smile? Or ask
anything? Cigarette... sorry!

Just then suddenly
like scattered pearls.

She said.
- Tea!

Yes!
- Madam, a change is in the offing!

A change? - Yes! - Like.

Amar is looking after everything!

"The wind blew like the velvet."

A glass with printed flowers!
I ran with the hot tea!

I ran careful not to spill the tea...

"It says..."

"The one who was
fair like the cream."

But the train started...

...as if it was an insult
to stop at a small station.

The whistle went off.

I saw the train.

I did not know if it
was her train or mine.

The guard showed the red
and then the green flag.

I ran after the train...

"Hey stranger..."

The train left the station
and so did the girl. Hey!

Here!
- Here! - Thank you.

Will a one-rupee stamp be
enough for this? Weigh it.

What are you doing?
I was here first!

Listen to me, brother.
- Greetings. - One minute. - Hello!

"You are not present, but
your smile is all around..."

"I am unable to see your face,
but can hear your footstep..."

"Where are you..."

"Where is your symbol..."
- Hello! - Hello!

In the line. There is no local.

I know.
- "I was living incomplete..."

The meter is out of order!
Will this do? Only STD.

Do you have change?
Talk if you've change!

Ok.

Twenty rupees! Full rate! No half!
No quarter! Thank you.

Join the politics!

Hey you!

My cycle.
- Sorry sir! Sorry!

This is not right!

We've met twice but you
refuse to recognize me.

Stop following me!

No.
- You'll have to stop this!

Why?
- I don't like it!

I won't accept that! - I... - Look!

What is the problem?
Your parents? Relatives?

Community? Religion? Or
those Two men in the train?

I don't know who they are
But I could talk to them.

Actually, the thing is...

If need be I can also fight with them. - It's not that!

I don't like it! So leave me alone!

You don't like me?
- Yes!

Now will you stop following me?

There he goes!

There he goes!

So you are back?
- Yes!

Have you eaten, granny?
- Yes!

Hey!

Hey!

Whom do you want?

Where are you going?
- Must I tell you?

All right! Go!

Go away from here.

Are you coming with me?

I am not the girl you think I am.

How do you know what I am thinking?

I've got you after so much trouble.

How can I let go of you so easily?

Will you tell your
family or should I?

Think about it. Tell me tomorrow.

What do you know about me?

Nothing!

Only that I love you!
From the heart!

"Mercury melted when sun rose."

"The storm struck
when the heart sighed."

"It's from the heart!"

"It's from the heart!
From the heart!"

"It's from the heart!
From the heart!"

"It's from the heart!"

"The heart is the heart!
A sweet difficulty!"

"O my beloved! O darling!"

"O my beloved! O darling!"

"It's from the heart!"

"I cannot live without
one from the heart!"

"Two autumn leaves
fell down from the tree."

"Falling down from the branches."

"Seasons passed for
the two poor leaves."

"With the desire to flower
they searched for support."

"Those leaves but two hearts."

"Those leaves but two hearts."

"If there is a heart
there will also be pain."

"If there is pain, there is heart."

"The painful seasons go by."

"If there is a heart
there will also be pain."

"If there is pain, there is heart."

"The painful seasons go by."

"It's from the heart.
It's from the heart."

"It's from the heart!"

"The heart is the heart!
A sweet difficulty!"

"O my beloved! O darling!"

"O my beloved! O darling!"

"It's from the heart!"

"Relationships are binding.
Thorns are like stars."

"The walls and doors
are made of stone."

"Yet the flowers and
creepers bloom on such stone."

"Thus love stories bloom
and lovers also meet."

"These are
relationships from the heart."

"It was from the heart."

"Unhappiness is
like a water bubble."

"They burst and then
are formed again."

"Unhappiness is
like a water bubble."

"They burst and then
are formed again."

"It's from the heart!
From the heart!"

"It's from the heart!
From the heart!"

"It's from the heart!"

Are you surprised?
Troubled? Or just angry?

Look! I don't believe in
one-sided love! Greetings.

There must be something between us...

...for matters to
have progressed so far.

The difference is I
admit it and you don't.

Why, what happened? Are you scared?

Tell me the truth.
- Leave me alone!

Answer just one question
and I'll leave you alone.

You don't know anything!

I've come to know you!

You've got it wrong!
- Then explain to me!

Why don't you understand! - Tell
me and maybe then I'll understand.

I am married!

Now will you stop following me?

Whom are you married to?
That man on the train?

Yes.

One minute!

Nothing!

How could I fall in
love with a married woman?

Not love but infatuation.

No, love.

Children! Come inside! Your books
should be on the table in 5 minutes!

I don't want to hear anything.

What should I do?

Forget her!

There are plenty of girls!

Not like this one!

I must apologize to her!

Then do so!

It's compulsory! I must ask
for her pardon! 100 percent.

She has come.

Is that her? Why has she
brought so many of them?

You wanted her pardon but who
are these chaps coming here?

Who are they?

They are her husbands!
- Husband. Two husbands?

Even you have two wives!

There's a great difference
between a wife and husband.

Quiet! They are coming.

Listen, I want to talk to you!
- What?

Want to talk to you.

Go ahead!
- In private! Come on.

You can talk here!

Don't worry! Come on!

Come!
- Come! - I'll be right back.

Go with faith! I'll tell
madam you'll be late! Go now.

Look! I want to tell
you a few things frankly!

I am a Government officer.

If anything happens to me the
police will know immediately.

It may even reach the Government

Really?

I also have a lot of terrorist
friends! I know the leaders!

Don't take him too seriously. - I
was a college boxing champion too.

I can still hit a
target moving in the air.

Don't tell me later
that I didn't tell you.

What do we do with him?

What do you mean?

Why are you
interrupting in between...

Are you a policeman?
- No!

Do I look like a policeman?
I am with All India Radio!

I look like a policeman to him.

Okay.

What do you do there?
- Program Executive!

Why waste time by talking?
Get him out!

Why are you interrupting?
- What are you doing in this area?

Why is he...

Why are you asking
so many questions?

Are you going to give me the girl?

Get him out of the car.
- Come out! Come out!

Don't touch me!
Talk! Behave decently

Come out!
- Don't touch me.

Am I not talking like
a gentleman? Get back!

Make him understand.

We are from the mountains!
We've some social codes!

It will be best that
you leave the girl alone.

And what if I don't?

I told you not to touch me.
Don't you dare touch me.

How could I know that
she knew you fellows?

I said: don't touch me!

Don't touch me.

Who knew that she was married?

Now I shall not spare you. You fool!

Your tradition allows a
woman to have five husbands.

Our sisters don't
marry outside the caste.

Is she your sister?

And yours?

She is my maternal uncle's daughter.

Sister! She's not married then?

Hit him!

Hit him!

Amar! Where are you?

Did you see them? - Yes! - The fools
assaulted him and threw him there.

No cursing!

Amar.

Hey stop! Take it back.

Where?
- Here. Here.

You were assaulted
because of the girl...

...at least go now
and get back to work.

What is he saying?
- No.

He is saying no.
- No, no.

You will not leave her even now.

Mrs. Burman. Mrs. Burman.

She's not married.

She is saying they have left.
They had only come for two months.

Ask her where they went!

They didn't tell her!

When did they leave?

Yesterday.

Are you the girl's grandma?

What did she say?

She says she wished she
was the girl's grandma?

Where did they come from?

The city!

Ask her where did they go?

She does not know anything, pal.

What is she telling? - When she
was here, she visited her sometimes.

Guys were worthless.
They used to lie around...

I don't know what
they used to talk about.

The girl did all the
work running about...

The boys were useless!

Pick up the phone.
- Can't you pick it up?

Hello.

Who's it? Amar?
Mother, it is Amar's call!

Tell me, brother. How are you?
- Give it to me.

Grandma! It is Amar!
- Let me talk to him!

Ask him why he hasn't written,
I am getting old!

Why don't you write?
Grandma is getting old!

When is he coming back?

Yes! When are you coming back?
Come soon! - Give the phone to mummy!

We are worried about you.

We keep reading all kinds of
things in the paper. - Give it to me.

Take care of yourself.

Tell him about uncle Nair.

Mr. Nair. Daddy's
friend from the army.

He's bringing his daughter!
When should he come?

Shut up! - What is he saying? -
He's saying 'after five years.'

Ok, when are you coming?

When? Bless you.

One minute. Come soon
and bring me something.

Enough! It's not a local call! -
Give it to me. - This is an STD call.

Give me the phone! Amar!

The girl doesn't come here anymore.

No local, only STD full rate.
- It's me.

Do you know the
number she used to call?

The records of all
the numbers are here.

Would the number be there?
- Of course!

Then tell me!

Why?

I had a quarrel with her!
- Hey...

No not this, I just wanted to talk.

This is a Government office!
I can't reveal numbers!

Confidence. - What
government office is this? - No.

Come on. Here!
- No! No!

Please. Keep it!

What is the number?

019824461.

4461.
- 4461.

What area code is it?

This... 98...

Leh! Ladakh!
- Ladakh.

Hello, yes. - I've accepted defeat!

Searching for her is...

...like searching for a
needle in a haystack.

Yes! It is over!

It was just temporary insanity.

Don't tell anyone about this.

All India... Burman,
Burman I'll call back later...

Hey, nab him.

Where's the money?

Here! Take it!

Move!

Hey, move aside. Don't push.

Hey, move aside.

This is Amar Verma
of All India Radio.

The army shot at a running
man at the Leh festival.

Hey, move.
- From there...

Told you so many times to go behind.

Who is he? Who is he?

Here, All India Radio.
All India Radio?

Come on, do it fast.

Take the body... hey...

Major! - Move aside. - I am from
All India Radio. What happened here?

No comments!
- Who was that man?

What had the man done?
- I said: No comments!

You could've shot at his feet!
- Move aside.

Isn't this a
violation of human rights?

Human rights? Go and
ask those people...

...who use RDX to
blow up school children.

Close it.

Hey.

Recognized me? Are you alone?
Where's your husband?

Have you sent him
to beat up someone?

He's not my husband!

So are you looking
for a new husband?

What's your name? Where have you
come from and why have you come here?

Amar Kanth Verma, here it is. Sorry!

All India Radio. Okay.

So you've come to cover the
Leh Festival. - What about you?

I am with him!

So you are his wife!

Whose kids are these?

What did you say? My wife?
- Move aside.

My wife! Yes! We've
been Married for 25 years!

Isn't it. Congratulations, honey.

O wife! Tell me if you
want anyone beaten up?

Give me your hand!
Come! Amma! Come here!

Come here. Nothing happened.

Where are these people going?

They will walk to Kargil! - How
long will it take to reach Kargil?

You will reach there in two days!

How long.

That's too far off! We may
get a bus on this side! Come

Next time be careful.

What happened to him?

Careful!

Hey! I am talking to you!

Wait!

What do you want?
- Answers!

What is your name?

I've been betrayed and beaten up.

And was left in a
lonely place to die.

Today you've made me your husband.

I've some questions for
which only you have the answers...

...don't you think so?

Even if I have to curse you,
by what name should I curse you.

Meghna!
- Is it real or false? - False!

False!

Who were the men with you?

My brothers!
- Like Rajiv Gandhi is my brother.

Why did you lie
that you were married?

Would you stop following
me had I spoken the truth?

No! I wouldn't!
- That's why!

Don't try to act innocent.

I know you're not as
innocent as you look.

What did you think? I would
keep dancing to your tune?

Now your game is over! Wait!

You think it is fun
to lead men along?

Do you know what we
call girls like you?

Shrewd!

You hate me intensely?

Yes! From the heart!

Look into my eyes and say it.

Give it to me! Take
it from this! Here!

Haven't you seen a girl before?

It seems a storm is brewing.

Come on! There's a storm brewing!

So you do have some
innocence left in you.

There is a monastery nearby!
They have all gone there!

When I chased her
she didn't want me...

When I don't want her,
she chases me. Wow!

What happened?

What happened?

What... What happened?

Tell me, what happened?

Tell me.

You have tears in your eyes!
What happened?

Are you unable to speak?

Are you unable to speak?

Has this ever
happened to you before?

Has this ever
happened to you before?

Why don't you cry? Cry?

The more you try to hide it, the
more painful it will be. Cry! Cry!

Don't stop yourself! Don't stop
yourself! Don't stop yourself!

Don't stop yourself!
Don't stop yourself!

Let's go.

the shadow of my heart!"

"O Colourful One!"

art thou so far from me?"

"When thou are near
thou art a mere feeling..."

"Thou art a dream... a shadow.

Move aside.

Come along with me! Come!

One minute! One minute!

Greetings to you!
- Greetings!

Greetings!
- Greetings.

Lama, do you understand Hindi?

A little bit!
- Ok, I want to marry her!

Yes.

When?
- Right now!

Forgive us, Lama! He's mad!

Is it ok?

What wrong did I do?

I only wanted to marry you!

Can anyone do wrong in
a holy place like this?

You should have asked me!

So I'll ask you now!

Will you marry me?

No!
- Why?

I don't have the time!

You don't have the time?

Suppose we get married... No not now.

I know we don't have time but
just suppose we get married.

What do you think,
will we be happy together?

Love and only love? No?

Or will we fight?

Heads will break.
Hands will be fractured.

But let me tell you clearly,
I won't make up with you.

You'll have to come
and ask for forgiveness.

You won't come? It means
I'll have to come to you!

Impossible.

Once we have children
the fights will end.

No! They will join the fighting too!

Is it?

How many children will
we have? One? Two? More?

Three? Four?

Eight!

Eight? I am doomed!

But one thing is sure.

The children will be like
me: My good looks! My brains!

If they are like you,
you look after them.

Hey, should they look like you?
Small eyes! Flat nose!

Flat nose? Hasn't anyone told you?

Only your smile is all right!

When you hit me like this,
do you know what it means?

It means that you like me very much.

When you hit me like this,
it means you love me a lot.

This has a meaning too. That
you cannot live without me.

Yes! That is true! I will die.
- Is it?

Without me?

Like this!

Why talk of Death? Just
tell me that you love me!

Oh, you have no time. Right?

Hey, if you want to
leave the old man, I am here

Bye... bye.

Why didn't they take
him to their village?

Why leave him with us?

He understands your language.

He understands the
language but does he understand...

...matters of the heart?

If you don't leave us
alone when will we romance?

In our sleep?

Brother! Why stand
between the two of us?

What's the matter?
Aren't you feeling sleepy?

I am, but I won't sleep!

Why, are you afraid of me?

My parents told me never
to sleep in a strange place.

You end up losing everything.

That's a lie! You're afraid!

Fear! Do you know
what fear really means?

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Let's not fight or argue now!
Let's talk of nice things!

All right! Tell me what is
it that you like the most?

Don't think! Quick!
I'll count up to three!

One. Two.

Mother's palm!

Mother's palm! What else?

Pigeons in the temple!

What else?

Poetry!

The old lady's song!

And what do you dislike the most?

You coming close to me!

Lie!

Your smile, your mischief.

Yes!

Your inherent smartness,
your alertness.

Wrong! You're
jealous of me! Isn't it?

Yes.

Now tell me what is it
that you like the most?

First I'll tell you
what I dislike the most.

I dislike this distance between us.

There is a lot hidden within you.

What I hate the most
are your eyes because...

...when I look into them
I cannot see anything.

Now I'll tell you
what I like the most.

What I like the most
are your eyes because...

...when I look into them
I cannot see anything.

There's a lot hidden
within you and I like that.

What I like the most is
this distance because...

...it gives me an
excuse to come near you.

Go and sleep!

Is that all?

Keep your mouth closed!

Some people are like the
names written on sand...

Like the names written on the sand.

One gust of wind and
they are blown away.

Blown away.

Blown away.

Go! Go!

Go! Go

"There are many exams left of love."

"There are many exams left of love."

"Beloved."

The aim of our
revolution is independence.

Independence for our own land.

Towards that end we
surrender everything we have.

Our bodies our lives our souls.

With an impartial mind we accept.

Our commander and his orders.

We will sacrifice ourselves
for revolutionary progress.

We swear this oath today!

Has the time to act arrived?

Yes. It has come.

Passports are ready. Entry
passes have been arranged.

Why. - The dress rehearsal
will be on the 23rd Friday.

Car passes and all that.

Don't use the phone.

'Then play any song you like.'

'Any song I like? '
- Has my Tuba come?

It's in the next room?
- Yes!

'Then ok! This song is for Tinu
and her friends and that's it.'

O stranger! Call
out to me sometimes!

O migratory bird...

O migratory bird...

What does the silken wind whisper?

Tell me! What does it say?

What does the silken wind whisper?

Where is the pure innocent bud?

Where's the light? Where is life?

Have you fixed the flat?

Give me the list again!
Note down everything!

O stranger! Call
out to me sometimes!

You are not with me
but I have your smile.

Your face is not to be
seen but I can hear footsteps.

You are nowhere near
me but your footprints...

...are where my universe is!

I am incomplete here while
you are incomplete there.

O stranger! Call
out to me sometimes!

O stranger! Call
out to me sometimes!

Careful! Is this the
only place left to play?

Careful! Is this the
only place left to play?

Come! Come!

I waited for you for long. You
have become fair after marriage.

I've been waiting for you so long.

Hello! I am sorry I am sorry.

Hi! Preeti.

Brother.
- Brother. Hey! Go!

Children.

Tea!

Would you like to sit?

I will just...

Before you speak
can I say something?

Sorry! Ok.

Can I call you by your name?

Whatever.

There was a boy, I loved him!
Even he loved me! In the college.

One teaspoon sugar?

Yeah!

Here. He got a job in Dubai.

The choice was between me
and Dubai. He chose Dubai.

Mandan!

Was that his name?

No!

Mandan means idiot! Donkey! Mandan!

Oh Mandan! Mandan

I am telling you this because
my family wants us to marry.

And I don't want that you...

Don't worry!

Something similar
has happened to me.

Love or failure?

Both!

The girl ditched you?

Yes.

Didn't you feel like slapping her?

I felt like
strangulating and killing her!

Shake hands!

Ok.

'The people of the
North East feel that...

...promises made to
them have not been kept.'

'The other states have
usurped their rights and...

...the national leaders
are responsible for it.'

'They do not give these
people any importance because...

...they do not look
upon them as vote banks.'

'This is propaganda spread
from across the border.'

'We are investing in
the development of...

...the North East without
expecting any returns.'

'But the money does not
reach them! Where does it go? '

'Where does this money go? '

'To the businessmen?
Brokers? Or to the leaders? '

'Or do all of them share it? '

'ls this for All India Radio? '

'Yes! Akashwani! '

Dinner.

I don't know.

'One last question! Who
is responsible for this? '

'Politics or the
politician? ' 'No comments! '

'How can we celebrate 50
years of independence...

...when the border states
face so many problems? '

'Sir. Sir.'

Are you still a virgin?

I am sorry.

Was it only love with that
girl or did it go beyond.

No! Don't answer that! I just
wanted to see your reaction!

And what if I ask you that?

Go ahead! Ask!

What do you think looking at me?

I think you talk too much!

And I think right now
there's salad on your nose!

Salad.

Eighty per cent of the
girls today are S.K.P.

What's that?

You know, before marriage!
Honko Bonko Bonks.

Oh! Honko Bonko Bonks.

So you belong to the
remaining twenty percent.

Yes. Only because I
didn't have the guts.

May I say something? Yes!

You too look the
twenty percent kind.

You mean no Honko Bonko Bonks...
- No Honko Bonko Bonks...

Thinking about the girl?

No! Is that true or a lie?

A lie!

Leave that. Tell me
some lies about me!

What lies?

That I am a beautiful and
wonderful girl, etcetera.

You are a beautiful and
wonderful girl, etcetera.

Thank you.

You lie so sweetly. - Thank you.

Here.

Everyone must be waiting at home...

...to find out if we say yes or no.

If you don't like
me you can say it...

...I too will say
that I don't like you.

But if one of us says
yes and the other no...

Wait! Hey!

I want to talk to you! Wait here.

Hey! Wait!

Wait! I want to talk to you!

Wait!

Move.

Hey! Why are you pushing us?

Hey wait!

Did you come under
my vehicle to die!

Hey wait!

Hold on! I only want to talk! Wait!

Stop him someone! Hold him!

Hold him!

He is going.

Caught him...

Mogli! Oh Mogli!

My Mogli.

Sorry! Please, forgive me!
Are you hurt? I am sorry.

Hey, what's the matter?

Hey you! Where are you running?

Hey, where are you running?

Hey, where are you running?
Check him thoroughly!

Check him thoroughly!

What's this? A capsule!
He's eaten the capsule! Sir!

Spit it out! Out! Spit it out! Out!

That's enough! Forget Meghna!

No more thinking about her!
No more searching for her! - Hey!

I am sorry.

I thought you were
in love with a girl.

You were running after a boy?

You're a normal man, right? Or
are you one of those you know...

What?
- What 'Mundan'?

I wanted to ask you, so I did.

From here. From here. Take this.

Come this way.

God knows how but Ken was
caught at Cannaught Place.

The police found
the cyanide capsule.

Ken ate the cyanide!

They have come!
- Yes.

Don't sit with elders!
Go play with the kids!

Greetings! Hello sir!
- Be happy!

What is it, dear?
- What have you decided?

Mother...

We went for lunch!
While we were returning...

We saw a boy running. Amar ran
after the boy and I ran after him.

In this running around,
we had no time to think.

Yes or no! That's
all we want to know!

How can we say yes so quickly?
We've just met and...

And...
- It's a yes from my side!

What did I tell you?

But I think you
should also ask Preeti.

Sister, say 'yes.'

What should we assume?

Preeti! Say something!
Sister! Say something! Quit.

Sister! Say something!

Sister! Say something!

Sister! Say something!

Sister! Say something!

Sister, tell. Yes or no.

Sister! Say something!

Sister! Say something! Sister!
Say something!

No!

Say yes! Sister! Sister!
Sister! Sister! Say something!

This is a clear case of
cyanide poisoning. Look at the body!

It has turned red!

His eyes have turned blue!
And so has his tongue! - Yes.

Even his tongue and lips
are of same color. - Yes.

His stomach will show
deposits of potassium cyanide.

Could we have saved him?

Impossible!

He must have died in ten minutes.

If amyl nitrate had been given
there may have been a 40% chance.

Cyanide is dangerous.

Have you seen this?

This looks like
staff notations, sir!

Right.
- Find it out.

Check out the Yellow Pages.

Find out all shops dealing in
musical instruments in Delhi.

Check every shop.

Ok! - Right sir.

Thank you very much, doctor.

God knows what the police
must have got out of him.

I am sure he has not
told them anything.

I am sure he told them nothing.

He wouldn't have
told anything to them.

Stop crying!

He was a brother to Meghna!

There are no
brothers or sisters here.

We have not come here to cry.

Ken wouldn't have liked these tears

He was a soldier who died a martyr.

He didn't die as anyone's brother.

What will we do here?
We have to do something.

You tell me.
- Yes! It is decided!

You're about to get engaged!

Then you'll get
married and have kids.

Then they will get
married and have kids.

Then one day you
will become a grandma.

You'll have to see that
man's face all your life.

Sister is coming here.

Sister is coming.

Where are you going? Tell us?

Won't you let me
pass until I tell you?

Yes...

I am going to meet the groom!

No permission! No permission!
No permission!

Do you know what
they call me back home?

No! Hitler!

I'll be living here
after the wedding.

If you don't keep me happy then...

Hitler!

Where are you going?

Grandma, I was going
to meet the groom!

No hanky panky before marriage.

That's what I was going to tell him.

Hello!

Hello!

What is it? - I didn't see anything!
I swear I didn't see anything!

What is it?

I wanted to talk to you!

Go ahead! Speak!

I forgot! Sorry!

I remembered!

What is it?

You'll be completely
trapped after the engagement.

If you want to change
your mind, think now.

Amar! Someone to see you! Come!

Come! - Everyone is walking in!

Do you want me to come down naked?
- Come on! - Go. - Come on. Go.

How are you? How are you?
Careful! Children!

Hi Amar!
- Thank you! Thank you!

What are you doing this evening?

The kids are harassing me.

You all. - Hey, take them out.

at the wrong time?

What is this? You have made her stand
outside. Come inside both of you!

I said come inside!
Come dear, come!

We were thrown out of the
place we were staying in.

We've nowhere to go! Nor
can we return to our village!

Amar! Preeti is calling you!
- Go in. I'll come! Go from here.

I didn't know where
to go, that's why?

Hello Amar! Congrats! -Thank you!
- Congrats! - Thank you!

Can I get some work?
Even a small job will do!

I can record and dub! I have
worked in the radio before!

Even a temporary job at
All India Radio will do.

Even temporary.
- Amar.

Preeti is asking: where is
the groom? Is he scared?

My grand son is
afraid of her? Nonsense!

Mother! This is Meghna!
She will stay in the attic!

Grandma! Ask someone to take
her luggage upstairs! Come.

Where do you work?

What are you doing?
You are about to be married...

...and you've brought this stranger.

Mother!
Haven't I agreed to this marriage?

It's a small matter!
Just helping a friend.

Preeti is coming! Preeti is coming!

Sister is coming! Sister is coming!

...Preeti is coming!

She is looking beautiful.

Move back. Come here! Like this!

She is looking beautiful.

Mother! I am hungry!

She is a temporary
assistant at All India Radio.

She is...
- I casually asked. Leave it.

This is your room! Come. Give it!

No! No! - Give it! Give it!

This is my father!
This was actually his room!

Is he in the army?
- He was. Now he is no more.

May I go? - I must go now! - Wait.
- Yes. - I am just coming.

Edit it quickly and
show it to me. Quick.

I'll be back in a jiffy.

Certificates you
asked for my bio-data.

I also have Xerox copies!

You want this job badly?
- Yes!

Then you must answer a
few of my questions.

Why must I get you this job?

Why did you leave me and go?
And why have you come back?

Why have you come back here?

Will I get this job
only if I answer you?

Yes.

All right! Don't answer! Come back!

Hi Amar! - Hi! Hi!

The thing which is not in our
destiny, why should we love it?

Do you have any feeling at all?

Do you love me, Meghna?

I cannot answer that question.

I've spoken to the Station Director.
It's a temporary job!

The second room on the right!

Swaminath! Go! Go!

Listen! Wipe your tears!

Casual posting!
Temporary Broadcasting Assistant!

Got the Parade duty?
- I'll get it!

Does Amar suspect anything?

No! He's innocent!

There's no doubt about it.

What else is there in him?
And you? Inside you?

What's there inside you?

Anger!

What else?

Ideals!

What else? - My aim!

What else?

Courage!

I hope you haven't
forgotten our purpose here?

Nor what our people
have been through?

I haven't forgotten!

Move aside, please.

Love is intoxication!
It is not for us!

"I adore you, my darling."

"I adore you, my darling."

"When will you come, my beloved?"

"When will you come, my beloved?"

"When will you come, my beloved?"

Why don't you sing?

You look so
beautiful when you smile.

Otherwise moping all the time!

Grandma, my smile left me
when I was eight years old.

What's hidden inside?
- I'll sacrifice myself for you.

My beloved.
- Nothing, unhappiness!

No! It's not good to be so unhappy!

Find a boy like my
grandson and we'll marry you off.

What can I do? It's not in my fate.

What is fate? We have
to make our own fate!

Come... Come... Come... Come.

Come! Dear, go and call Amar!

I'll sacrifice myself for you.

Look, he must be
upstairs Call him. Go.

No! Leave this here!

Go. "I adore you, my darling."

Only your smile is all right! '

'When you hit me like this
do you know what it means? '

'This means that you
like me very much.'

'When you hit me like this
it means you love me a lot.'

'This means, you
can't live without me.'

Say yes! Just once!
We'll go somewhere far away!

Just say yes once!

Meghna!

You're being called downstairs.

Grandma look, isn't it beautiful?
- Very beautiful!

Grandma! I've told
Amar to come down!

It's beautiful, isn't it? - Yes!
Beautiful! My dear! Come here!

Mother, see this.

Preeti is wandering about.

We are only trying
to see how it looks...

We won't get an idea
unless someone wears it.

Yes, take it.

Cover the back lane!

Search every house!
Ask each and every person! Quick!

Sir! They seem to have left!

No! No!

There is a call for you!

May I come in?

Yes!

I am scared! I am
getting married soon and...

I was happy till now but as
the wedding nears I feel...

Whether I will not be trapped?

Everything will be fine!

Really?

Amar and you... - What?

Amar and you make a fine pair!

Is that true?

You're responsible! Anything
goes wrong and I'll ask you!

All right!
- Don't be formal with me!

Stay with me till the wedding ends!

All right!

Thanks.

Clever girl! Making sure
you won't be in her way.

Come on, enough. In two minutes!
Excuse me! Yes.

You there! What about the recording.

I also recognized you!
How's your leg? Found your dog?

What about the recording?

In a minute! The studio was busy
so children were being made to wait!

In a minute! I'll
take them upstairs.

Since we have to go upstairs...

...will you need a wheelchair?
- Absolutely not!

You have the crutches.
- Amar!

Hey Shukla!

Watch where you're going!
- I am sorry!

Don't worry! It will
be done in half-an-hour!

You don't worry ma'am. I am sorry.

Within half an hour.

Hey! How is everything going on?

How is it that you've
come here all of a sudden?

I always do everything all of a
sudden. - What happened to your hair?

My younger
mother-in-law passed away.

How come you're here?

I fought and took a transfer.

To escape Mrs. Burman?!

Yes! I brought my two
wives and eight children here!

Let's go. - I heard
you're also getting married!

Have you got good in-laws?

You'll understand my problems now.

Meghna. Mr. Shukla.

Greetings!
- Greetings!

Send this with the
tapes to Bangalore.

How did she come here?

No! No! It's not
what you think it is!

What is it then?

You're to be married but your
Juliet is still by your side.

Instead of throwing her out
you've got her a job. Great!

She is also staying in my attic.

What? Your attic? Catastrophe! You...

Will you keep quiet for a
minute and let me talk? - Talk.

I don't know why she left me! Or
even I don't know why she came back!

But she did not come
back for me! That's certain!

I want to find out
what the matter is.

Ok. May I speak now?

Speak!

Throw her out! Outside!

I can't do it!
- Absolutely from your life.

I can't do it, Mr. Shukla
- Why can't you do it?

I can't! That's all!

Ok. Then do one thing!
Leave this one or that one!

Pick up courage and get
rid of one of them. - Leave...

Don't carry on with both
of them at the same time.

Learn from my experience.

Think about it seriously and
tell someone finally. - Hey you...

"My heart is burning!"

"My heart is burning!"

"There's mist under my eyes!"

"My heart is burning!"

"There's mist under my eyes!"

"There's mist under my eyes!"

"There's mist under my eyes!"

"Don't know, why friend."

"My heart is burning!"

"There's mist under my eyes!"

"There's mist under my eyes!"

"There's mist under my eyes!"

"Don't know, why friend."

"Your glance pierces my
mind when you look at me."

"Your glance pierces my
mind when you look at me."

"My soft lips seal your lips."

"I count the hours as I
twist and turn about in bed."

"How can I tell you how
the night passes by?"

"My heart is burning!"

"There's mist under my eyes!"

"There's mist under my eyes!"

"Don't know, why friend.
My heart is burning!"

"My body is pierced
by sparks of pain."

"Butterflies explore the
fragrance of crushed flowers."

"All night henna is
crushed under the feet."

"How can I tell you how
the night passes by?"

"My heart is burning!"

"There's mist under my eyes!"

"There's mist under my eyes!"

"Don't know, why friend.
My heart is burning!"

"Don't know, why friend.
My heart is burning!"

What will happen to all of them?

"My heart is burning!"

They will face problems
because of our stay here.

They are not bad people!
What wrong have they done?

Everything will be
finished for them.

They trusted us!
Gave us a place to stay!

Are we doing the right thing?

Innocent people will
be killed, isn't it?

Don't you ever have
doubts about yourself?

The aim of our revolution is...

The aim of our revolution is...

Independence for our own land.

Towards that cause we
surrender ourselves.

Our bodies our lives our souls.

With an impartial mind we accept...

...our commander and his orders.

We will sacrifice ourselves
for revolutionary progress.

We will lay our lives.
We swear this oath today!

How many people were there?

I don't remember!

Three woman and two men!
Or two women and three men!

How were they? - What do
you mean by how were they?

I mean which
language were they speaking?

What region?
Bengali? Assamese? Or Nagas?

I don't know about that.

This photo is of an army van.

What are they doing
in your photo studio?

Some customer wanted
copies of it. - For what?

May be he has some business!

Give it to me.
- No, I will not.

Hello! Mita, here!
- Give it to me.

She's talking to a man!
Maybe a boy-friend! Hitler! Hitler!

You're eavesdropping on her!
If grandma finds out...

She's telling her
boyfriend to meet her at...

...the Sunder Nagar
gate in the evening...

Shut up! Naughty!

Sister, she wants to
meet her boyfriend.

Come on.
- Get going!

Please be seated! - Thanks.

Yes, tell me.

This man in the paper,
I've seen him.

This was printed
quite some time back.

But I saw him yesterday!

Who? This chap?

No! The fellow who was
following him at the Cannaught Place.

Do you know him?

I broke my leg because of him!
My dog, Mogli almost died!

He works at All India Radio.
Amar Verma. - Ok.

My father always said the
public must always help the police.

Amar.
- Amar Verma.

Who is this man?

I don't know!
- What is his name?

I don't know, sir!

Don't lie! You're
connected to a lie detector!

Who are you people?

Why were you following him?

Who are you and what authority
do you have to ask me questions?

Investigation officer.

How many people in your group?

I don't belong to any group, sir!

Look! I am also a
Government servant and I work...

...at All India Radio
as a Program Executive.

I don't know
anything more than that.

If you don't tell the truth
you won't leave this room.

Don't try to threaten me, please!
I am also a Government servant, ok!

My father was also in
the Indian army! He's dead!

His father was a freedom
fighter in the INA and went to jail.

And I am as concerned
about India as you are.

Who is this man? What is his name?

Where does he stay? Why has he come here?

Look! Who is this man?
From where has he come?

Why does he stay here?

I don't know anything
about that man! That's all!

Why were you following him?

What would you do if
someone hits and abuses you?

Why did he hit and abuse you?

I don't know! Ask him!

He hit and abused me!
Instead of arresting him...

...you are asking me
all sorts of questions.

Ok. Mr. Amarkanth Verma,
I ask your pardon.

I just rang up All India Radio to
speak to your Station Director. - Ok.

It was just a routine
investigation. That's all.

Thank you. - This is our job
We have to do it sometimes!

Just like you do interviews. - Yes.

It is exactly like that.

So don't mind it. Sorry.
Thank you. - Thank you.

Do I need to stay here?

No! You may go! Go and drop him!

I... - Please. Please.
- Thank you! Thank you!

Brother Amar! Brother Amar!
- You are free now.

Sorry!

Did you see Meghna? The
girl with small eyes? With me!

She came and smiled!
Shukla took her away with him!

For the parade rehearsal?
- Then where else?

How do you manage it?

A little faster please!
- I am going fast!

If you want it
faster take another cab.

Here's my pass! Now carry on!

Why are you insisting?
They will not let us.

You have to take a
U-turn now. Drive fast.

Didn't I tell you it will be
blocked? We'll meet further!

The rehearsal for
the parade is going on.

Hey! Ok. Ok. Sorry!
Can we go from ahead?

Yes, go ahead.
- Park it there.

We'll have to take
a detour! Come on!

These terrorists do this
and then we are harassed.

Then these people harass us.
- Take a right from here.

Take a right. Keep going.

Sir, you are not a terrorist, is it?

Let's go!

Faster.
- Strange.

Meghna! I thought
something had happened.

I thought you...

Hey! Where are you going? Come on!
- Where?

Who are you?

Who are you and why
have you come here?

Don't try to lie!
I am tired of your lies!

Why did that boy run away from me?

Was it a coincidence or
was he sent to trap me?

He is dead!

You came to my house
and asked for a job.

Not any job but with
All India Radio! Why?

I followed you like a fool
but you used me, Meghna!

Why? You used me

Why did you do like this?
Why are you doing all this?

Why this hate! This terror!
This devilishness!

Don't your parents say anything?

Meghna, you spoke of music.
You, in that temple...

...you spoke of your mother's hands!

Talk! And what do you do?
Make bombs! Kill people!

You don't know the
life I have lived.

You haven't seen all that I've seen.

You sit in Delhi and play
songs on All India Radio.

What would you know
of the difficulties...

...we have undergone in
the last fifty years.

We are being betrayed
for the last fifty years.

When we asked questions
we were suppressed.

They destroyed my parents.
You don't know anything!

What do you know?

You think if terrorism has
increased it is not your fault.

We are losing our lives
don't you have a hand in it?

We do not love the way we
live but we have no option.

Father! Father! Father!

Death in every house.
Death at every step.

Days nights for years...

They went on killing
and we went on dying.

Blood on all four sides!
Corpses on all four sides!

Screams still echo in my ears!
Enough! Enough! Enough!

Enough!

Sister!

Do you know what fear means?

Do you know what fear means?

Sister! Sister!

Sister!

Sister! Sister!

Run away! Go!

Run!

Run!

Go away!
- Sister!

Sister Tara! Sister Tara!

Run!
- Hey you, stop there.

This fear will never leave me!
It will never go away!

Do you know what the
smell of death is?

We sacrifice.

We sacrifice.

Our bodies.
- Our bodies.

Our lives.
- Our lives.

Our souls.
- Our souls.

Every child in the
line tells the same story.

We will sacrifice our lives.
- We will sacrifice our lives.

Some of them worse than mine.

We will sacrifice our lives.
- We will sacrifice our lives.

We take an oath.
- We take an oath.

Meghna, Meghna...

...l'll give up everything!

This job, house...

I'll give up everything!

Come away with me!

Forget all that has happened to you.

Let us both run away from here.

You and me. Won't you come?

Tell me you won't do this.

I can't.

So terrorist, what
do you want to do?

How many do you want to kill?

Come! I'll come with you!
We'll kill people together! Come!

You still don't understand!

Meghna, I can
understand what happened to you.

I don't know what's
going to happen next.

How many will you kill? Ten?
Twenty? Thirty? Forty? Fifty?

What will be the result? Will
that end the problems of your state?

Will that bring back your happiness?

I know what happened
to you was wrong but...

...for the mistake of a few people...

...will you punish the entire nation?

The mistake of a few people?
What is this mistake?

Killing innocent people?
Or burning down villages?

Raping 12 year old girls?

If you cannot reply to our cause...

...you cannot give us justice.

Then is it a crime
to ask for justice?

Small children
picked up the gun but...

...their parents did
not stop them! Why?

Because it made no
difference even if they died.

Because there was no other
alternative to survive...

...from your army
from your dictatorship.

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

I know what the army is!

You would have been dead
fighting amongst yourself...

Every village is
fighting with each other.

Had it not been for
the army, our country...

...would've been divided
into small pieces! Understood?

So your army will save us?

Who else will save you? Will terrorists
or terrorism save this country?

Your country! Not mine!

What will you do, Meghna?
What will you do? Kill people?

Or blow up this country
with a bomb? What will you do?

Go celebrate fifty
years of your freedom...

...while the world sees our
suppression for fifty years.

What fifty years? Fifty years?

Fifty years...

26th January parade!

What are you going to do?

What are you going to do?

You... You used me!

Yes! Who are you to me?
You mean nothing to me!

What your heart says?

What you think? Your house?
Your family?

Your marriage, your kids...

They don't mean a thing to me.

What are you people
going to do? Tell me!

Tell me what are you
people going to do then?

Where is everyone?
Tell me! - What will you do?

What are you wearing? - What's this?
- What are you wearing?

Don't touch me!
- What are you wearing?

Leave me!
- What are you wearing?

Leave me!
- What are you wearing?

Tell me what it is.

Tell me, what is it?

You there! Dare tease a girl!
- Leave me.

I will not let you do anything.

You are misbehaving with
a girl? Madam, you leave.

She is a dangerous girl! Don't let
her go! I'll teach you a lesson!

Come on, make him sit inside.

Hey, you don't know her.

They are five persons:
two women and three men!

And we have reconstructed their
faces from the burnt photographs.

They seem to be
dangerous and equipped...

...with the sophisticated technology.

They are here for
the last three weeks.

They have purchased
old military trucks.

We have the chassis
and engine numbers...

...we have also found out
that these people used...

...RDX with a 555 timer
to blow up the shop.

What does all this mean?

Sir, 26th January!

Hello!

Preeti! This is Amar! Listen!

You rang up at the right time.

I was bathing!
- Listen to me!

I am completely wet!
- It's important!

I am only wearing a bathrobe!

Shut up! I want to talk.

What do you want to say?
- Don't talk rubbish.

Shut up! You must help me!

Mita and Meghna are staying with us?

When they return,
engage them to stay there.

Hello! This boy is with us! If you
could suppress this matter then...

He hit a Constable!

We know!

Help us! It's in your hands!

No money!
This matter concerns a woman!

Yes, I am alright.
I'll come home and explain!

Both Mita and Meghna are dangerous!
- Keep it down!

Let me complete.
- You are free now. Go.

If you ever hit a policeman,
I'll set you right.

Teach him a few manners.

What is happening?
- Lay this in the garden.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Mrs. Verma,
Arun Kashyap from Delhi CBI!

We want to question Amar!

You've been misinformed!
It is impossible!

No, Mrs. Verma!
We have strong evidence!

Whatever proof you have is wrong.

My son is the son
of an army officer.

A few people were staying here!
Now they are not here. Where are they?

Who were they, Mrs. Verma?

Meghna and Mita, Amar's friends!

Where are they now?

They were here.

What about Amar?

There's a marriage in
this house in four days.

Lots of work to do.
Clothes, jewellery...

...food is still to be arranged.

He must have gone out on some work.

Why did Meghna and
Mita leave the house?

Look Mrs. Verma, if you have
any newspaper cutting letter...

...any phones which they made or
received anything which you remember.

Please give it to me.

This will also be a
great service to the nation.

If I find out that my
son is a terrorist...

I'll ring you up and
have him arrested.

Sorry, Mrs. Verma, you will
have to come with me. Please.

What's going on? - Excuse me.

I am an ex-army officer.
This is official.

What is going on, here?
- Take care of everyone.

Keep walking quietly!

Make a sound and I'll kill you!

You cannot save yourselves!

The CBI knows everything!

Even now they must be after you.

Where are you taking me?
What's this darkness?

My darling, come with me.

Come with me, dear.

O fool! Is that uniform
meant only to keep you warm?

Look at this.

Trying to impress a
girl with the uniform.

Look at him.

You are enjoying.
- You dare not interfere.

Don't hit me. - Inspector.
- I'll put him behind the bars.

I'll put him behind the bars.

Move back.

Hey, wait! I'll thrash you.

You hit me! Hit me now.
Hit me now. Hit me now.

Hit me now.

You hit me.

Quiet! Quiet!

Hello! Hello!

Hello! Hello!

Meghna!
- Who? Who is speaking?

Meghna, don't do this, Meghna.

You come to me.

Amar, nothing has happened to you?

I am not dead!

As long as I am not dead,
I'll try to stop you.

Come to me! Please!

Where are you? Where?

You can't come here!

You are my life my love!

Don't you understand that
love is greater than terrorism?

I am too far it is too late, Amar.

No, Meghna! I won't
let you go, Meghna!

I won't let you go! It is not late.

No...

Hello.
- What is this? What are you doing?

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot! Listen to me!

I want permission, sir. Sir,
all the vans have to be checked...

...which are going
to be in the parade.

What are you saying?

I am sorry sir I also
want to check the tanks...

...which will salute the President.

That is not a just demand.

We have been protecting this
country. Don't you trust us?

Sir, listen to me, sir.

Sir, we've lost a Prime
Minister because of her bodyguards.

Tight security has
never hurt anyone, sir.

This parade will go on as it
has been going on for years.

What do you think of yourself?

All the security cordons
be reconstituted but...

...this matter
should be kept a secret.

Till the 26th January
no one should know...

...who is in charge of which
gate And sir, please, please.

General! Can this be done?

Hazarika?

Yes, sir. It will be done!

Amar! Amar! Amar! Amar! Amar!

What has happened to you, Amar?

What has happened to you, Amar?

I must find Meghna.
I must stop everyone.

Don't you understand, Amar?
This matter is not within our control!

The CBI thinks that
you are also a terrorist.

They have taken
mother away for inquiries.

Mother?

Please, let go of this, Amar!

I have to find Meghna!

I have to stop her before dawn!

You can't... you can't
forget her, isn't it?

She'll listen to me!

She won't go through
with it if she sees me.

I must stop her, Preeti!

Then why have you come here?
You should have gone to Sunder Nagar!

Sunder Nagar?

What should I do
with the wedding cards?

Should I write her name with yours?
- Where in Sunder Nagar?

Why should I tell you? I don't know!

Where in Sunder Nagar?

I don't know, an old
house behind the bus stand!

Who told you?

I heard it with the
kids over the telephone.

Are you happy?

Now answer my question!
What do I do with these cards?

Don't move!

What are you doing?
- Look for cyanide! Look for cyanide!

What are you doing? Who are you?

Call the ambulance, quick!
- He is not a terrorist!

Shut up and be quiet for God's sake!
And take your seat, please!

What's going to happen? Human bomb?

I don't know anything.
- What will you use?

Explosives? - I am not with them!
I just discovered that...

...they are at Sundar Nagar.

Where are the explosives?

You kept her in your house?
- I am not with them! Sir...

You kept Meghna in your house?
- Yes, but...

You kept Meghna in
your house! Yes or no?

She worked at All India
Radio and did not have a place.

Didn't you give her the
place and also the job?

Yes, I got her the job!
Because I loved her!

Why should we accept this?
- I am telling you!

You went to the North East
and met terrorists?

Yes! I interviewed them!
It was my job! - It was your job? - Yes!

What are you applying?

It's serum.
You'll be fine in 24 hours!

I don't have 24 hours!

You'll soon speak the truth!
All the truth.

Hey, leave me.
- Tell me.

After that, we will...
- I don't have so much time.

If you don't listen to me, then
there will be a problem. - Amar.

What is going to happen, Amar?
What is going to happen, Amar?

I don't have 24 hrs!
- Tell me whatever you know, Amar.

I don't have 24 hrs!
- How many people are involved in this?

What is the plan? Amar!
What is the plan? Amar! Amar! Amar!

Wake him up every
half-hour and question him.

Inform me on the
wireless if he says anything.

Don't move from here till he says
something. - Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

And yes, two men inside
the room and two men outside.

And wait for my instructions.
- Yes, sir.

Where has he gone?

Get onto the wireless
while I look downstairs!

Don't give up now!

No! Stop!

Stop! What are you doing?

Move on!

Don't sleep! Don't sleep!

Don't sleep! Don't sleep!

What are you looking at?

My last sunrise!

Are you afraid? - No!

Fear left me last night.

You're looking very beautiful!
Do you know why?

Because, there can be no one
more beautiful than a martyr.

It is not necessary to be
born in an ideal society.

But it is necessary to
leave behind an ideal society.

Who are you? What are you
doing in the All India Radio van?

Tell, where is Meghna? Tell! Tell!

Where is Meghna? Where is Meghna?

Where is Meghna? Where is Meghna?

Let go of me!

Tell me!

Don't come forward!

Why?

"There are many exams left in life."

"There are many exams left in life."

Don't come near me, Amar!

Meghna! I had told you...

...that I'll never leave you.

"Beloved."

I have come.

Meghna, come with me!

Don't touch me!

If you don't want to come with
me then I will not leave you.

Take me with you!

Take me with you, Meghna!

Take me with you too.

Take me with you too.

Take me with you too.

Take me with you too.

Tell me that you love me.

Once tell me, just once,
that you love me.

Tell me just once that you love me.

Tell me that you love me.

Tell me just once that you love me.

Tell me just once that you love me.

"Let me sleep in the laps of death."

"Let me sleep in the laps of death."

"Let me sleep in the laps of death."

"Let my soul be in you."

"Let my soul be in you."
