Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001) - full transcript
Amongst the communal riots that erupt in the city, Tara shelters a wayward Sakina from a crazed mob and a bond that blossoms into love is created. The two eventually get married and have a son. The happy family, now living in Amritsar, gets the shock of their lives when Sakina learns that her father (Amrish Puri), whom she previously believed died in the riots back in Amritsar, is still alive after seeing his picture in a tattered, old newspaper. Upon contacting him, Sakina's father, now the mayor of Lahore in Pakistan, arranges for his daughter to arrive in Lahore to see him. Sakina leaves for Lahore minus Tara and her son, and upon reaching the city, learns of her father's plans for her - plans that include forcing Sakina to forget about her family and start life anew in Pakistan. Then begins an extraordinary journey which will lead Tara to cross the border into Pakistan to find his love Sakina.
What is this? There is no signature
of the Pakistan
Consulate on the child's visa.
Oh no! Sir forgot to sign here.
That's alright, but legally, I
cannot permit the kid to board the flight
without proper signature.
What are you talking officer? How
can we go without him?
Please officer, try to understand
Sakeena is the
daughter of the Mayor of Lahore
She is going home
to celebrate Id there after many
years. If she does
not reach in time, everyone will be
disappointed.
Is it possible to get the
signatures now?
That is possible only after three
days now. The officer
in charge has gone to celebrate Id
with his relatives.
We were so happy that we will all
go there together, but now
Sakeena, you carry on, we will
follow after two days.
He is right. I will get the kid's
visa and send them
later. Give me your papers, I will
get your boarding
cleared.
It is only a matter of two days.
Do, I want to go. Even I will go!
We will go after two days. Come, I
will show you
the airplane.
Father, you? If we had not had a
visa problem, even Jeetu
and my husband would have come
along with me. Look there.
Father, you came here and did not
even meet my husband?
If I had stepped on the soil of
India, it would have reopened
a thousand wounds. This land has
even snatched my son Aslam
from me. And anyway, neither this
land, nor the country
and neither its people are ours
Our motherland, our
people, our country, is Pakistan.
It is good to see the daughter of
the Mayor get such
a warm welcome, or the whole city
would crowd here.
Yes, why not? Sakeena deserves such
a welcome.
Is Dehru coming?
Dehru? What nonsense are you
talking?
I asked, is Dehru coming? Is there
going to be a public meeting?
What nonsense are you talking? Are
you mad?
You Britisher...
Britishers, go back! Hail India!
Brother, please don't mind. He was
hit on the head during freedom struggle,
that is why he sometimes go back to the
time of 1946 when the country had
not been partitioned.
Partition?
There is no partition. Sakeena is
coming back.
Sarfaraj, with Sakeena's return, my
life has become meaningful.
I understand your feelings. My only
worry is that Sakeena's past should not
come in the way of our future.
Sakeena is my daughter, she will
not disobey me.
You are saying this even after
knowing everything?
This is not the truth, it's our
helplessness. Our
community lost so much in those
riots. I still cannot
forget the dastardly killing of
Aslam. Right before my
eyes, he was...
Mother, please! Everyone suffered
during those riots.
But why were we made scapegoats
For God's sake mother,
Keep quiet, Sakeena! You are only
worried about yourself,
not our honor. Do you know what
people were saying when
your father came to receive you
That you are a disgrace,
that you lived with an Indian. We
had to speak so many
lies to save face. Forget Tara
Singh.
What are you saying, mother! We are
married, we even
have a son. I cannot live without
him and my son.
Aren't we living after having lost
our son? The boundary
separating India and Pakistan has
created a distance that
can never be shortened.
I have seen everyone. Dow I have to leave
After pushing your father in the
darkness of sorrows...
Don't say that, father.
It is regretful that despite being
educated, you don't understand my point.
When one is out and it begins to rain,
one is forced to take shelter
against a wall. Even you did just that.
Do father, he did not pressurize me
in any way. He
was ready to risk his life and
bring me to Lahore.
It is impossible to find a man like
him anywhere in the world
And also impossible to find a more
helpless father than me. I understand
that it will take you some time to forget
your past.
That will never happen. Father
send me back to my husbavd
Shaku, my every step takes me
ahead. You have a bright political future
ahead of you. I want to see you as a
Celebrity of Pakistan
How do I make you understand?
Everything for me now is
my family, my home.
Sister, please don't go. If you do
family honor will be disgraced.
One must never lose hope. If you keep
father happy, even he will keep you happy.
Had this poem being in Urdu, it would
have been fabulous. Urdu is such a
descriptive language, unlike Hindi.
Do you mean to say that even music
should have been
partitioned along with the country?
You should have atleast adorned her
forehead. Take this, child.
Here comes my daughter! Meet my
friend, Lal Bakshi Shah. He's a MP.
Bless you. May you live long.
And he is Haider Ali, the editor of
the renowned Akhbaar Jung'
Hello. I will publish the incident
that happened with you in India on the first
page. May God punish
that foreigner who...
I am desperately waiting for that
day when Sakeena
will hold the reins of political power
Yes Sarfaraj, sympathy does help a
lot in politics.
You are an ace at the game of
politics. You turned
the tables by not clearing the visa
of the child.
Yes, I didn't allowed to clear the visa.
I don't want to see you with that Jat.
I made a grave mistake in coming
here out of love for you.
If I had known that you will punish my
family like this, I would never come
This high status, this luxury, this
position, is this all a punishment?
My business, my political future, lies
in this country. Whether you cry or
scream, you will have to live in Pakistan
If that you what you want, I will
not go to India.
I will neither phone, nor write a
letter to them.
I will wait, because I know that
one day, he will
surely come to take me back.
He will come here from India? That
Jat, that enemy of ours,
who shed the blood of our
community, will come to
our land? I promise you, even the
news of his death will not reach India.
I will kill him so brutally that it
will be difficult to recognize him.
Please give me the visa. I have
even brought my
marriage certificate from the
Gurudwara now.
That will not help, Tara Singh. I
have told you several times
before that the marriage that took
place during riots are not recognized by
both the countries. They are considered
illegal.
If my marriage to Sakeena is illegal,
then is this child also illegal?
Please don't harass us, sir. All my money
is over coming so many times to
Delhi. I have been ruined.
You have come again to bore me! How
foolish!
It is me who has been fooled
Mr. Lqbal. You had said that
you will give my child's visa in
three days, and then,
even my visa...
Stop your nonsense! I will bring an
end to this once
and for all. Listen to this
carefully. I have received
orders from my seniors that you
should not be allowed to go to
Pakistan. You will not get a visa
Mr. Ismail, do you think Tara will
not go to Pakistan just because a piece
of paper is not stamped? Do power,
no boundary can stop me from taking
my son to his mother. I will go, I will
definitely go.
You will go to Pakistan? Have you
gone mad? That too, for a woman who
turned her back on you? Who never even
bothered to write you a letter? I
never trusted that community. I gave in
only because you were adamant.
What has gone never returns. Forget
about her.
What are you saying! That I forget
her? She is my wife,
the mother of my son.
He is right. How can he forget just
like that?
He is right. The poor child, what
can he do?
What you have left, you will lose
that if you go to Pakistan. You are a
handsome young man. I will find you a
nice girl and get you married again.
Forget that unfaithful woman.
She is not unfaithful, uncle. I am
sure she has some problem
Get that letter! You have gone
crazy. Even after making
so many rounds, after being
humiliated, you haven't learnt
your lesson.
Take this letter, read
The daughter of the Mayor in a
Jat's custody. She was
tortured. She even had to bear
children.' Dow atleast do
you believe that she is unfaithful?
These are all lies. I will surely
go to Pakistan and bring her here.
Papa, even I will come along.
Do son, you will stay here.
Do papa, even I will come along.
You will stay here!
How are you? Is everything alright
Life goes on.
I miss you all very much. The name
of the country has changed, territories have
changed, but the love of two friends for
each other cannot change.
You always leave me behind. Can't
you walk along with me sometimes?
Hear that, Tara Singh! If I would
leave you behind, would I have such
a large family You don't understand?
All these children are mine.
You connected so many compartments
with one engine?
Engine!
What is it?
Come here. Go and prepare some
food.
She is my big problem.
Mushtak, Rashid, Ahmed, all of you
come here. Tell
me, isn't he the same Tara Singh
who is sitting outside
with your father? Isn't he, Munna?
What rubbish are you talking
mother. This one has a
beard, and he is clean shaven.
Don't worry Kake I am here
He is Tara Singh, not Tara Khan.
Excuse me, brother. You have been
asking me since long about who he is
and where he has come from. Even he
is a creation of God. Then whether
he is Singh or Khan,
Isn't it right? - You shutup
Speak softly. Why do you have to
talk like that?
Make some buttermilk.
Marrying you has ruined me.
Foolish woman! Come on you good for
nothing kids of a foolish woman.
Kake, where did he go?
Have the words of this foolish woman
hurt you?
Have you forgotten what mother used to
say? She used to say that
she has two sons, Kaka and Gullu
I know.
I don't want to become a problem.
To whom are you saying this? A
friend brings happiness
and peace for his friend. If I
could, I would take all
your troubles on myself. But who
can fight what God
has destined for us? Look, Sakeena
is marrying Salim,
the son of Sarfaraj of Ismailpur.
We are free now, India got freedom
Stop! What music are playing? After
independence, if you
have to play anything, play
this... India is the best!
What is this you are saying, Gaffar!
Move back, move back, O people of
the world, India is ours!
Shut-up, you fool!
Why should I shut up? I am a true
Indian.
Karim, how many times have I told
you to leave him home?
Sir, it would not be right to lock him in
the house on the occasion of a wedding.
Take him away!
Lock up this mad man!
Mad? Who is mad? I am not mad, you
all are mad.
You all are mad.
I am somebody's...
Shameless!
Keep quite!
Sakku, woman has to go with the
situation.
Do as your parents say. The wedding
procession is waiting out side
Why are you forcing? You are a priest
You should be concerned with a yes or no.
Don't forget that to stop a crime
is also the duty of a priest
It is a crime to solemnize the
marriage of a woman whose
first husband is still alive.
This is not a crime. What you have
done is a crime.
In our religion, if both man and
woman are not muslim,
their marriage is considered a sin
Forget about him.
One may forget to breathe, Sun may
forget to rise, You may forget your God
but I will never ever forget him.
Fear God.
God does not listen only to you priest
You bad mouthed woman!
Shameless! She will not agree so
easily. She will
feel satisfied only after her
adamancy kills someone
in the family dies.
You have gone mad! If you have to
take poison, give it
to this arrogant girl. Have it and
die! We will assume you never returned.
Aunt, I am helpless, I cannot even
die.
I know that
he will suffer immense hardship
but will surely come
here. He will call out to me.
He will look for these eyes
If he doesn't find me,
I cannot be unfaithful to him.
Do, I can't
That Indian will come?
He is a Romeo, a true lover.
But I will beat him so much that he
will forget all about love
Leave Sakeena!
I had left her once. I thought that
she will be pleased to meet her father
But you have hurt her so much
Stop your nonsense! How dare you
step onto our soil!
I will kill you so brutally that it
will be hard to
recognize you. You'll had shed a
lot of blood of our community.
Didn't you'll also shed the blood
of our community?
You'll killed my parents, my
siblings, everybody!
But that is all over now. Today, I
have come to take my wife
the mother of my son.
I have forgotten my hatred,
you also do the same.
Forget my hatred for you Indians
If I could, I would
shoot each and every Indian dead.
How can you kill us Indians? You
survived because of
us Indians. The whole world knows
that we gave you
65 crore rupees at the time of
partition. And you talk of killing us?
You are challenging the Pakistan
army? We have taken
over half of Kashmir. One day, we
will take over the whole of India
Send off your daughter with me as a
good father,
that is in your interest. Or if I
get angry today, I will kill every one
I will kill you...
Stop! Stop! Please stop, for God's
sake! Mr. Ashraf,
you are behaving like a devil
You'll are politicians,
not butchers. The problem can be
solved through discurssion
dialogue. Karim, take him to the
guest room.
Ashraf come with me. Sarfaraz, you also
come. Come on.
Kazisaab, If you had not
stopped me, I would
have beheaded that idiot!
Mr. Ashraf, temper does not let one
think straight.
You are a politician, anything you
do makes headlines.
Just think, if that Jat had lost
his life at your door step
You are right. If we can get thinks
done legally, why adopt evil means.
You have entered Pakistan without a
visa. If we want,
we can make you rot in jail on
charges of spying.
But I will not do that because my
daughter is my weakness
I am not such a cruel
father that I will
not bow before my daughter's
wishes.
But fot that you will have to accept two
conditions. One, you will
have to eccept Islam relegion. And two
you will live here in Pakistan
What are you saying!
Why, do we have to make all the
sacrifices for your happiness?
If I can bow before him
if I can forget my
hatred and embrace an Indian, can't
he do even this much
for you? If you can become a Hindu
for him, can't he
become a Muslim for you? I know
such decisions cannot be
taken so easily, so I give you a
day's time. Think about it.
You are fortunate Tara Singh, that
Allah has invited
you into his fold, has given you an
opportunity to
become a Muslim. What are you
thinking? Do you accept Islam?
A man's greatest religion is to
protect his wife and children
Do you accept Islam?
Kaashi and Kaba are one,
Ram and Rahim is one!
Do you accept Islam or not?
I do.
Wonderful! Come to the mosque, with
all the grace and dignity,
Wait a minute, priest!
Before he steps into our scared
mosque, let us confirm whether he
is worthy of becoming
a muslim or not.
If you accept Islam, say, 'Hail Islam.'
Say, hail Islam!
Hail Islam!
Say 'Hail Pakistan! '
Hail Pakistan!
Dow say, 'India be damned'.
Mr. Ashraf, why are you playing this
political game?
I don't have any objection to
praising Pakistan, but my
India was worthy of praise, is
worthy of praise, and will
always be worthy of praise. Hail
India!
Hail India!
Stop your nonsense! Until you don't
damn India, how will
our people believe that you are a
true muslim?
Most of the muslims in this country
belong to India.
Their heart beats for India. Does
that mean they are
not true muslims?
Stop arguing! If you don't say
'Damn India',
you will not get Sakeena.
I've had enough! If I can bow my
head before you for
the sake of my wife and kid, I can
also behead you.
Why have you all gone numb? Catch
that Idiot!
Hail India!
Stop, sir! Brother, stop!
India has become independent.
When the country has become free
why don't you let me unfurl the flag
Hail India! This is not India, it
is Pakistan.
This is Pakistan.
Brother! Brother!
What nonsense are you talking? This
country is not
some field that you can divide it anytimw
The leaders of our country are not
so mad. Hail India!
We thought that in the process of
making him accept Islam, we will
enrage him so much that our people
amidst the crowd would kill him.
But how was I to know that your two
hundred heroes
would become eunuchs when
confronted with that Jat.
At times, even a coward turns
brave. Sir look, these
people don't let me fly the
tricolor.
These people are saying this is
Pakistan. Is that possible?
Karim, take him away. I am in the
midst of an important discussion
Mr. Ashraf, the bus in which Tara
Singh had escaped
was found fallen in a ditch near
Mirpur.
Brother, don't worry. The Indian
boundary is 400 miles
away from Mirpur.
Sir, his photograph has been
published in every newspapers. Police is
standing on vigil everywhere. He will not
escape from inspector Suleman now
I don't know anything, my daughter
should not be
hurt. I want my daughter back.
Here, have this hot tea. How is
your son? You also have tea
Thank you very much. If you had not
given us shelter,
our son's condition would have
worsened. I will
forever be grateful to you for this
favour.
What favour? My husband recognised
you when you came here at night
My husband use to water Mr. Sarfaraz's
Garden. You use to come there right?
Oh, your ear rings are so pretty
If I risk my life
and save you, even I should benefit
out of it. I will
take a piece of jewelry everyday
You can stay here
without any fear. I'm coming.
Don't worry, no one will come here now
That woman has her eye on your
ornaments.
You are my ornament. Shall I tell
you something, Tara?
Even if I die today, I will have no
regrets.
What nonsense are you talking? We
will all return to.
India. I will take you there. You
take care of Jeetu,
I will make arrangements and come
Sir, we are old friends
God promise, I will drop you Hattari.
Here keep some money. Return them
after you reach to India. You don't
understand. You have your family with you
and it's good to have some money.
Dow tell me from where we have to pick
your wife up? - From maliwada
Let me go and bring my car.
Good Job, That idiot shouldn't escape
And also I know where he has kept
Mayer's daughter. But my reward is...
Friend? You have showen your color...
Diyazuddin has gon up.
And don't follow us otherwise we will
kill you too.
What do you mean?
I mean Father is Father and Son is Son
What you didn't understand? Son comes
from Farhet, in the same way your
Pakistan came from India.
I don't understand, when he was ready to
eccept Islam why you had to ask him
to say silly things
You keep quiet. Do you think that he will
leave Pakistan with Sakina?
I should have trusted you. I lost the
happiness I had found with great difficulty.
One day is over. Do one thing, hand
over those earrings
to me. Your earrings are lovely.
Give them to me.
Have some fear of God. She is the
daughter of the Mayor.
If he comes to know, you'll be
beheaded.
Doesn't matter. I don't mind dying
after wearing those
ornaments. What have you ever done
for me? We could only
afford rice and pulses. Opportunity
has knocked on my door.
I will not let it pass by. Dobody
will come here.
Dow the truck union leader will take me
to the border.
Let go off my neck, we are old
acquaintances. Son,
let go off my neck.
I know they are playing politics
with you, but everyone is not the
same. Let me explain.
Every man in Pakistan will
sympathize with you.
Rehman Bahai is absolutely right.
Gullu, you?
Since I read about you in the
newspapers, I have been
looking for you. I was sure you
would visit Rehman Bhai.
God is with us. I am sure we will
find a way to get you
out of Pakistan. Come, come with
me.
You don'r worry. I am here to protect
you. Give me those bangles.
Mammy, what harm have we done to
Pakistan that they are us?
It's true that the country has been
partitioned but the business between them
is still goes on
India imports sugar from Pakistan
and Pakistan imports their betel leaves.
But both spew hatred both for each other
Anyway, it is true that every
Friday, mail trains
carry sugar and cotton to India via
Rajasthan.
Drugs are sent concealed in sugar
and cotton.
Drugs? What are you saying!
Sit down, sir. If drugs can be
sent, then by your grace,
even men can be sent across.
What are you talking? Since the weight
has increased, You don't get up.
Dothing is greater than money
Your work will be done.
Assume your people have
reached India.
Brother, this is the number of the coach of
the mail train. Be there by 2 PM. The train
leaves at sharp
2:20 PM
Gullu, this favour you have
done...
What are you saying, and to whom
We shared a
relationship. You reach there, I
will follow you. Dow go.
Wanted dead or alive. It's
shocking! Pakistan has been
disgraced!
An ordinary Indian abducted the
daughter of the Mayor.
I have heard that he has married
Sakeena.
He even has a son. If that is true
the poor man was
harassed.
What are you talking? Can you make
an Hindu your son-in-law?
Give me your wedding necklace.
This is a sacred token of marriage
I cannot part with it.
I had told you the first day itself
that I will take
a jewellery piece from you
everyday. If you cannot give
me, go away from here.
I will not go without him.
You will not part with it so
easily. Give it to me!
Leave my mother. Ah!
Tell me, was my daughter staying
here or not?
Yes, she had. She stayed here for
three nights.
My daughter had to live in this
dirty, filthy place.
Sir, I found these ornaments.
These ornaments belong to Shaku
This woman...
How could you dare to take my
daughter's ornaments!
Forget about her, come here.
My daughter had to suffer such
hardships because of that
Jat. I'll kill the bastard. Salim
Depute the army on
every road. I will not spare that Jat
What happened?
I saw a dream. I saw that we have
reached home.
That same door, that same verandah,
that same tinkling of anklets
your returning from work.
You came here for me.
Tara Singh, you dog! I will feed
you to the dogs!
I will torture you so much that
even death will tremble
Find that Indian bastard!
You son of a bitch! You dared to
hail India
You pig! You are very brave, aren't
you? Then come out!
He should not escape. Find him! He
was praising India
Look here, look at these blood stains.
He must be here some where
find him
Burn the whole compartment
Have you gone mad? Even my niece
Sakeena is with him.
You keep quiet, uncle. She has
humiliated me.
If Sakeena cannot belong to me, she
cannot belong to anyone else.
Papa, did you see that?
Has she regained consciousness?
Dot yet.
You removed the bullet long ago
Then why hasn't she
regained consciousness yet?
I have done whatever I could
Everything is not in the
doctor's hands. Pray to God that
the medicines work.
Please forgive me, son.
Do, father Do...
A son-in-law is treated royally
but I...
Please forgive me, son. In my greed
for power, I forgot
humanity which is the greatest
religion of man.
You are right, uncle. The world is
driven by humanity,
by love. Gandhiji has said 'Don
violence is the greatest religion'.
of the Pakistan
Consulate on the child's visa.
Oh no! Sir forgot to sign here.
That's alright, but legally, I
cannot permit the kid to board the flight
without proper signature.
What are you talking officer? How
can we go without him?
Please officer, try to understand
Sakeena is the
daughter of the Mayor of Lahore
She is going home
to celebrate Id there after many
years. If she does
not reach in time, everyone will be
disappointed.
Is it possible to get the
signatures now?
That is possible only after three
days now. The officer
in charge has gone to celebrate Id
with his relatives.
We were so happy that we will all
go there together, but now
Sakeena, you carry on, we will
follow after two days.
He is right. I will get the kid's
visa and send them
later. Give me your papers, I will
get your boarding
cleared.
It is only a matter of two days.
Do, I want to go. Even I will go!
We will go after two days. Come, I
will show you
the airplane.
Father, you? If we had not had a
visa problem, even Jeetu
and my husband would have come
along with me. Look there.
Father, you came here and did not
even meet my husband?
If I had stepped on the soil of
India, it would have reopened
a thousand wounds. This land has
even snatched my son Aslam
from me. And anyway, neither this
land, nor the country
and neither its people are ours
Our motherland, our
people, our country, is Pakistan.
It is good to see the daughter of
the Mayor get such
a warm welcome, or the whole city
would crowd here.
Yes, why not? Sakeena deserves such
a welcome.
Is Dehru coming?
Dehru? What nonsense are you
talking?
I asked, is Dehru coming? Is there
going to be a public meeting?
What nonsense are you talking? Are
you mad?
You Britisher...
Britishers, go back! Hail India!
Brother, please don't mind. He was
hit on the head during freedom struggle,
that is why he sometimes go back to the
time of 1946 when the country had
not been partitioned.
Partition?
There is no partition. Sakeena is
coming back.
Sarfaraj, with Sakeena's return, my
life has become meaningful.
I understand your feelings. My only
worry is that Sakeena's past should not
come in the way of our future.
Sakeena is my daughter, she will
not disobey me.
You are saying this even after
knowing everything?
This is not the truth, it's our
helplessness. Our
community lost so much in those
riots. I still cannot
forget the dastardly killing of
Aslam. Right before my
eyes, he was...
Mother, please! Everyone suffered
during those riots.
But why were we made scapegoats
For God's sake mother,
Keep quiet, Sakeena! You are only
worried about yourself,
not our honor. Do you know what
people were saying when
your father came to receive you
That you are a disgrace,
that you lived with an Indian. We
had to speak so many
lies to save face. Forget Tara
Singh.
What are you saying, mother! We are
married, we even
have a son. I cannot live without
him and my son.
Aren't we living after having lost
our son? The boundary
separating India and Pakistan has
created a distance that
can never be shortened.
I have seen everyone. Dow I have to leave
After pushing your father in the
darkness of sorrows...
Don't say that, father.
It is regretful that despite being
educated, you don't understand my point.
When one is out and it begins to rain,
one is forced to take shelter
against a wall. Even you did just that.
Do father, he did not pressurize me
in any way. He
was ready to risk his life and
bring me to Lahore.
It is impossible to find a man like
him anywhere in the world
And also impossible to find a more
helpless father than me. I understand
that it will take you some time to forget
your past.
That will never happen. Father
send me back to my husbavd
Shaku, my every step takes me
ahead. You have a bright political future
ahead of you. I want to see you as a
Celebrity of Pakistan
How do I make you understand?
Everything for me now is
my family, my home.
Sister, please don't go. If you do
family honor will be disgraced.
One must never lose hope. If you keep
father happy, even he will keep you happy.
Had this poem being in Urdu, it would
have been fabulous. Urdu is such a
descriptive language, unlike Hindi.
Do you mean to say that even music
should have been
partitioned along with the country?
You should have atleast adorned her
forehead. Take this, child.
Here comes my daughter! Meet my
friend, Lal Bakshi Shah. He's a MP.
Bless you. May you live long.
And he is Haider Ali, the editor of
the renowned Akhbaar Jung'
Hello. I will publish the incident
that happened with you in India on the first
page. May God punish
that foreigner who...
I am desperately waiting for that
day when Sakeena
will hold the reins of political power
Yes Sarfaraj, sympathy does help a
lot in politics.
You are an ace at the game of
politics. You turned
the tables by not clearing the visa
of the child.
Yes, I didn't allowed to clear the visa.
I don't want to see you with that Jat.
I made a grave mistake in coming
here out of love for you.
If I had known that you will punish my
family like this, I would never come
This high status, this luxury, this
position, is this all a punishment?
My business, my political future, lies
in this country. Whether you cry or
scream, you will have to live in Pakistan
If that you what you want, I will
not go to India.
I will neither phone, nor write a
letter to them.
I will wait, because I know that
one day, he will
surely come to take me back.
He will come here from India? That
Jat, that enemy of ours,
who shed the blood of our
community, will come to
our land? I promise you, even the
news of his death will not reach India.
I will kill him so brutally that it
will be difficult to recognize him.
Please give me the visa. I have
even brought my
marriage certificate from the
Gurudwara now.
That will not help, Tara Singh. I
have told you several times
before that the marriage that took
place during riots are not recognized by
both the countries. They are considered
illegal.
If my marriage to Sakeena is illegal,
then is this child also illegal?
Please don't harass us, sir. All my money
is over coming so many times to
Delhi. I have been ruined.
You have come again to bore me! How
foolish!
It is me who has been fooled
Mr. Lqbal. You had said that
you will give my child's visa in
three days, and then,
even my visa...
Stop your nonsense! I will bring an
end to this once
and for all. Listen to this
carefully. I have received
orders from my seniors that you
should not be allowed to go to
Pakistan. You will not get a visa
Mr. Ismail, do you think Tara will
not go to Pakistan just because a piece
of paper is not stamped? Do power,
no boundary can stop me from taking
my son to his mother. I will go, I will
definitely go.
You will go to Pakistan? Have you
gone mad? That too, for a woman who
turned her back on you? Who never even
bothered to write you a letter? I
never trusted that community. I gave in
only because you were adamant.
What has gone never returns. Forget
about her.
What are you saying! That I forget
her? She is my wife,
the mother of my son.
He is right. How can he forget just
like that?
He is right. The poor child, what
can he do?
What you have left, you will lose
that if you go to Pakistan. You are a
handsome young man. I will find you a
nice girl and get you married again.
Forget that unfaithful woman.
She is not unfaithful, uncle. I am
sure she has some problem
Get that letter! You have gone
crazy. Even after making
so many rounds, after being
humiliated, you haven't learnt
your lesson.
Take this letter, read
The daughter of the Mayor in a
Jat's custody. She was
tortured. She even had to bear
children.' Dow atleast do
you believe that she is unfaithful?
These are all lies. I will surely
go to Pakistan and bring her here.
Papa, even I will come along.
Do son, you will stay here.
Do papa, even I will come along.
You will stay here!
How are you? Is everything alright
Life goes on.
I miss you all very much. The name
of the country has changed, territories have
changed, but the love of two friends for
each other cannot change.
You always leave me behind. Can't
you walk along with me sometimes?
Hear that, Tara Singh! If I would
leave you behind, would I have such
a large family You don't understand?
All these children are mine.
You connected so many compartments
with one engine?
Engine!
What is it?
Come here. Go and prepare some
food.
She is my big problem.
Mushtak, Rashid, Ahmed, all of you
come here. Tell
me, isn't he the same Tara Singh
who is sitting outside
with your father? Isn't he, Munna?
What rubbish are you talking
mother. This one has a
beard, and he is clean shaven.
Don't worry Kake I am here
He is Tara Singh, not Tara Khan.
Excuse me, brother. You have been
asking me since long about who he is
and where he has come from. Even he
is a creation of God. Then whether
he is Singh or Khan,
Isn't it right? - You shutup
Speak softly. Why do you have to
talk like that?
Make some buttermilk.
Marrying you has ruined me.
Foolish woman! Come on you good for
nothing kids of a foolish woman.
Kake, where did he go?
Have the words of this foolish woman
hurt you?
Have you forgotten what mother used to
say? She used to say that
she has two sons, Kaka and Gullu
I know.
I don't want to become a problem.
To whom are you saying this? A
friend brings happiness
and peace for his friend. If I
could, I would take all
your troubles on myself. But who
can fight what God
has destined for us? Look, Sakeena
is marrying Salim,
the son of Sarfaraj of Ismailpur.
We are free now, India got freedom
Stop! What music are playing? After
independence, if you
have to play anything, play
this... India is the best!
What is this you are saying, Gaffar!
Move back, move back, O people of
the world, India is ours!
Shut-up, you fool!
Why should I shut up? I am a true
Indian.
Karim, how many times have I told
you to leave him home?
Sir, it would not be right to lock him in
the house on the occasion of a wedding.
Take him away!
Lock up this mad man!
Mad? Who is mad? I am not mad, you
all are mad.
You all are mad.
I am somebody's...
Shameless!
Keep quite!
Sakku, woman has to go with the
situation.
Do as your parents say. The wedding
procession is waiting out side
Why are you forcing? You are a priest
You should be concerned with a yes or no.
Don't forget that to stop a crime
is also the duty of a priest
It is a crime to solemnize the
marriage of a woman whose
first husband is still alive.
This is not a crime. What you have
done is a crime.
In our religion, if both man and
woman are not muslim,
their marriage is considered a sin
Forget about him.
One may forget to breathe, Sun may
forget to rise, You may forget your God
but I will never ever forget him.
Fear God.
God does not listen only to you priest
You bad mouthed woman!
Shameless! She will not agree so
easily. She will
feel satisfied only after her
adamancy kills someone
in the family dies.
You have gone mad! If you have to
take poison, give it
to this arrogant girl. Have it and
die! We will assume you never returned.
Aunt, I am helpless, I cannot even
die.
I know that
he will suffer immense hardship
but will surely come
here. He will call out to me.
He will look for these eyes
If he doesn't find me,
I cannot be unfaithful to him.
Do, I can't
That Indian will come?
He is a Romeo, a true lover.
But I will beat him so much that he
will forget all about love
Leave Sakeena!
I had left her once. I thought that
she will be pleased to meet her father
But you have hurt her so much
Stop your nonsense! How dare you
step onto our soil!
I will kill you so brutally that it
will be hard to
recognize you. You'll had shed a
lot of blood of our community.
Didn't you'll also shed the blood
of our community?
You'll killed my parents, my
siblings, everybody!
But that is all over now. Today, I
have come to take my wife
the mother of my son.
I have forgotten my hatred,
you also do the same.
Forget my hatred for you Indians
If I could, I would
shoot each and every Indian dead.
How can you kill us Indians? You
survived because of
us Indians. The whole world knows
that we gave you
65 crore rupees at the time of
partition. And you talk of killing us?
You are challenging the Pakistan
army? We have taken
over half of Kashmir. One day, we
will take over the whole of India
Send off your daughter with me as a
good father,
that is in your interest. Or if I
get angry today, I will kill every one
I will kill you...
Stop! Stop! Please stop, for God's
sake! Mr. Ashraf,
you are behaving like a devil
You'll are politicians,
not butchers. The problem can be
solved through discurssion
dialogue. Karim, take him to the
guest room.
Ashraf come with me. Sarfaraz, you also
come. Come on.
Kazisaab, If you had not
stopped me, I would
have beheaded that idiot!
Mr. Ashraf, temper does not let one
think straight.
You are a politician, anything you
do makes headlines.
Just think, if that Jat had lost
his life at your door step
You are right. If we can get thinks
done legally, why adopt evil means.
You have entered Pakistan without a
visa. If we want,
we can make you rot in jail on
charges of spying.
But I will not do that because my
daughter is my weakness
I am not such a cruel
father that I will
not bow before my daughter's
wishes.
But fot that you will have to accept two
conditions. One, you will
have to eccept Islam relegion. And two
you will live here in Pakistan
What are you saying!
Why, do we have to make all the
sacrifices for your happiness?
If I can bow before him
if I can forget my
hatred and embrace an Indian, can't
he do even this much
for you? If you can become a Hindu
for him, can't he
become a Muslim for you? I know
such decisions cannot be
taken so easily, so I give you a
day's time. Think about it.
You are fortunate Tara Singh, that
Allah has invited
you into his fold, has given you an
opportunity to
become a Muslim. What are you
thinking? Do you accept Islam?
A man's greatest religion is to
protect his wife and children
Do you accept Islam?
Kaashi and Kaba are one,
Ram and Rahim is one!
Do you accept Islam or not?
I do.
Wonderful! Come to the mosque, with
all the grace and dignity,
Wait a minute, priest!
Before he steps into our scared
mosque, let us confirm whether he
is worthy of becoming
a muslim or not.
If you accept Islam, say, 'Hail Islam.'
Say, hail Islam!
Hail Islam!
Say 'Hail Pakistan! '
Hail Pakistan!
Dow say, 'India be damned'.
Mr. Ashraf, why are you playing this
political game?
I don't have any objection to
praising Pakistan, but my
India was worthy of praise, is
worthy of praise, and will
always be worthy of praise. Hail
India!
Hail India!
Stop your nonsense! Until you don't
damn India, how will
our people believe that you are a
true muslim?
Most of the muslims in this country
belong to India.
Their heart beats for India. Does
that mean they are
not true muslims?
Stop arguing! If you don't say
'Damn India',
you will not get Sakeena.
I've had enough! If I can bow my
head before you for
the sake of my wife and kid, I can
also behead you.
Why have you all gone numb? Catch
that Idiot!
Hail India!
Stop, sir! Brother, stop!
India has become independent.
When the country has become free
why don't you let me unfurl the flag
Hail India! This is not India, it
is Pakistan.
This is Pakistan.
Brother! Brother!
What nonsense are you talking? This
country is not
some field that you can divide it anytimw
The leaders of our country are not
so mad. Hail India!
We thought that in the process of
making him accept Islam, we will
enrage him so much that our people
amidst the crowd would kill him.
But how was I to know that your two
hundred heroes
would become eunuchs when
confronted with that Jat.
At times, even a coward turns
brave. Sir look, these
people don't let me fly the
tricolor.
These people are saying this is
Pakistan. Is that possible?
Karim, take him away. I am in the
midst of an important discussion
Mr. Ashraf, the bus in which Tara
Singh had escaped
was found fallen in a ditch near
Mirpur.
Brother, don't worry. The Indian
boundary is 400 miles
away from Mirpur.
Sir, his photograph has been
published in every newspapers. Police is
standing on vigil everywhere. He will not
escape from inspector Suleman now
I don't know anything, my daughter
should not be
hurt. I want my daughter back.
Here, have this hot tea. How is
your son? You also have tea
Thank you very much. If you had not
given us shelter,
our son's condition would have
worsened. I will
forever be grateful to you for this
favour.
What favour? My husband recognised
you when you came here at night
My husband use to water Mr. Sarfaraz's
Garden. You use to come there right?
Oh, your ear rings are so pretty
If I risk my life
and save you, even I should benefit
out of it. I will
take a piece of jewelry everyday
You can stay here
without any fear. I'm coming.
Don't worry, no one will come here now
That woman has her eye on your
ornaments.
You are my ornament. Shall I tell
you something, Tara?
Even if I die today, I will have no
regrets.
What nonsense are you talking? We
will all return to.
India. I will take you there. You
take care of Jeetu,
I will make arrangements and come
Sir, we are old friends
God promise, I will drop you Hattari.
Here keep some money. Return them
after you reach to India. You don't
understand. You have your family with you
and it's good to have some money.
Dow tell me from where we have to pick
your wife up? - From maliwada
Let me go and bring my car.
Good Job, That idiot shouldn't escape
And also I know where he has kept
Mayer's daughter. But my reward is...
Friend? You have showen your color...
Diyazuddin has gon up.
And don't follow us otherwise we will
kill you too.
What do you mean?
I mean Father is Father and Son is Son
What you didn't understand? Son comes
from Farhet, in the same way your
Pakistan came from India.
I don't understand, when he was ready to
eccept Islam why you had to ask him
to say silly things
You keep quiet. Do you think that he will
leave Pakistan with Sakina?
I should have trusted you. I lost the
happiness I had found with great difficulty.
One day is over. Do one thing, hand
over those earrings
to me. Your earrings are lovely.
Give them to me.
Have some fear of God. She is the
daughter of the Mayor.
If he comes to know, you'll be
beheaded.
Doesn't matter. I don't mind dying
after wearing those
ornaments. What have you ever done
for me? We could only
afford rice and pulses. Opportunity
has knocked on my door.
I will not let it pass by. Dobody
will come here.
Dow the truck union leader will take me
to the border.
Let go off my neck, we are old
acquaintances. Son,
let go off my neck.
I know they are playing politics
with you, but everyone is not the
same. Let me explain.
Every man in Pakistan will
sympathize with you.
Rehman Bahai is absolutely right.
Gullu, you?
Since I read about you in the
newspapers, I have been
looking for you. I was sure you
would visit Rehman Bhai.
God is with us. I am sure we will
find a way to get you
out of Pakistan. Come, come with
me.
You don'r worry. I am here to protect
you. Give me those bangles.
Mammy, what harm have we done to
Pakistan that they are us?
It's true that the country has been
partitioned but the business between them
is still goes on
India imports sugar from Pakistan
and Pakistan imports their betel leaves.
But both spew hatred both for each other
Anyway, it is true that every
Friday, mail trains
carry sugar and cotton to India via
Rajasthan.
Drugs are sent concealed in sugar
and cotton.
Drugs? What are you saying!
Sit down, sir. If drugs can be
sent, then by your grace,
even men can be sent across.
What are you talking? Since the weight
has increased, You don't get up.
Dothing is greater than money
Your work will be done.
Assume your people have
reached India.
Brother, this is the number of the coach of
the mail train. Be there by 2 PM. The train
leaves at sharp
2:20 PM
Gullu, this favour you have
done...
What are you saying, and to whom
We shared a
relationship. You reach there, I
will follow you. Dow go.
Wanted dead or alive. It's
shocking! Pakistan has been
disgraced!
An ordinary Indian abducted the
daughter of the Mayor.
I have heard that he has married
Sakeena.
He even has a son. If that is true
the poor man was
harassed.
What are you talking? Can you make
an Hindu your son-in-law?
Give me your wedding necklace.
This is a sacred token of marriage
I cannot part with it.
I had told you the first day itself
that I will take
a jewellery piece from you
everyday. If you cannot give
me, go away from here.
I will not go without him.
You will not part with it so
easily. Give it to me!
Leave my mother. Ah!
Tell me, was my daughter staying
here or not?
Yes, she had. She stayed here for
three nights.
My daughter had to live in this
dirty, filthy place.
Sir, I found these ornaments.
These ornaments belong to Shaku
This woman...
How could you dare to take my
daughter's ornaments!
Forget about her, come here.
My daughter had to suffer such
hardships because of that
Jat. I'll kill the bastard. Salim
Depute the army on
every road. I will not spare that Jat
What happened?
I saw a dream. I saw that we have
reached home.
That same door, that same verandah,
that same tinkling of anklets
your returning from work.
You came here for me.
Tara Singh, you dog! I will feed
you to the dogs!
I will torture you so much that
even death will tremble
Find that Indian bastard!
You son of a bitch! You dared to
hail India
You pig! You are very brave, aren't
you? Then come out!
He should not escape. Find him! He
was praising India
Look here, look at these blood stains.
He must be here some where
find him
Burn the whole compartment
Have you gone mad? Even my niece
Sakeena is with him.
You keep quiet, uncle. She has
humiliated me.
If Sakeena cannot belong to me, she
cannot belong to anyone else.
Papa, did you see that?
Has she regained consciousness?
Dot yet.
You removed the bullet long ago
Then why hasn't she
regained consciousness yet?
I have done whatever I could
Everything is not in the
doctor's hands. Pray to God that
the medicines work.
Please forgive me, son.
Do, father Do...
A son-in-law is treated royally
but I...
Please forgive me, son. In my greed
for power, I forgot
humanity which is the greatest
religion of man.
You are right, uncle. The world is
driven by humanity,
by love. Gandhiji has said 'Don
violence is the greatest religion'.
