Bangistan Page #6

Synopsis: Bangistan is a whip smart and uproarious satire on fundamentalism and the story of two unlikely terrorists, the antitheses of each other, with a common destructive goal. Concerned by the unrest in the name of religion, Subcontinental leaders of Muslims and Hindus, the Imam and the Shankaracharya, announce that they're attending the International Peace Conference in Krakow in a joint effort to help unite the two religions in perpetual harmony. Rival rabble-rousing ragtag organizations, the Islamist Al-Kaam Tamam and right-wing political party Maa Ka Dal separately recruit and brainwash Hafeez and Praveen to suicide bomb the conference so that they may continue to wield their local influence. After a rigorous, and hilarious, 'training' period the two men switch their religious identities to stay under the radar. Hafeez, the jihadi, masquerades as a conservative Hindu, Ishwarchand; while Praveen, the Hindu soldier, dons the garb of a practicing Muslim, Allahrakha. Focused on the mission,

What the hell?!

I have nothing to confess! I'm not a terrorist!

Those two desi rats. They have to confess.

We would've had their confession. We could've been promoted!

Instead of that we might lose our jobs!

No no, listen, listen...

I have a plan...

I have a plan.

What plan?

If I help them escape... And you catch them...

Then who will become the hero?

Who?

Who?

Who?

You Willie!

Guruji has come to Krakow. Everything will be okay.

Jai Maa ka Dal!

Jai Maa ka Dal!

I'll take him down now...

Hafeez...

Hafeez!

It's me, Haatim.

Salaam Alaikum Hafeez!

I'm here now... Don't worry. Take some rest.

Couldn't wait to go to heaven, eh Hafeez?

You set off the bomb so early.

But rest assured. The mission will be completed.

You don't have to do anything.

Zulfi will go in your place.

He was so adamant that Abba gave in.

Abba said, 'before Hafeez reveals the plan...

Send him to heaven.'

So I came to see you.

I've got you a present.

This is full of air.

Air... bubble...

Is your arm numb yet?

Calm down, calm down! You're very lucky.

You're going to heaven!

Yes!

Patience... I'm doing it...

Transfer car has arrived.

We need to move the terrorists to court.

Yes yes... It's almost done...

Hey... What are you...

He was trying to kill me!

Why, this sweet baba ganoush... He kill a terrorist like you?

He's a murderer?

By the way, you two brownies... You know each other?

No... I do not know this man.

Come on, you are going behind bars.

Those were the days when I was blissfully ignorant

I had no religion when I was a child

And then I had one, and innocence passed

All ties snapped with my friend of another faith

Is he dead or alive, I have no word

Your God is not mine, my God is not yours.

Your God is not mine, my God is not yours.

I'm ready for war, armed with scripture

My remaining days are to be spent in battle

It's in my blood to wield weapons

Heaven or Hell, business reigns

I don't care how beautiful the world is

Your God is not mine, my God is not yours.

Your God is not mine, my God is not yours.

I won't let that bomb go off.

Our bomb will explode! Let my people come.

Nobody is coming...

I had to come. At the risk of my life.

Tamim! You turned out to be a real surprise...

Don't talk to me! Shut up.

Terrorist...

You give all Muslims a bad name! Still on about the bomb...

Shame on you!

But who sent you?

Enough!

I'll explain later.

Stop the car, Tamim.

Why? I said stop the car, Tamim!

You third world people... You can't take a leak here.

I won't let that bomb go off. Stop the car!

What are you doing?

Stop the car!

Idiot, we'll all die!

He was helping us run away!

Where would you run away to?

Anywhere! My people are everywhere.

Your people?

My people came to kill me.

And soon, yours will too.

Someone else is going in my place.

I have to stop him.

Now neither of our bombs will go off.

In you and I, in every human being

In joy...

In sorrow...

In music and dance

In the beloved and her lover...

There's only you, only you, only you...

You are the eternal phrase

You are the daughter and the mother

You fill me with such inspiration...

That my name is now Rumi

Ishwarchand...

Ishwarchand...

Ishwarchand...

It's Hafeez bin Ali.

Yes yes, Hafeez...

You've opened my eyes.

I'm with you now. What's your plan?

Anything... I'll tell the police everything.

And the police will trust you? We are terrorists, remember.

We are on our own.

Come, sit. No.

The bomb will go off by the time you walk there.

Come Hafeez. We'll stop them together.

I said no.

Hafeez... I...

I can't do it by myself.

You fill the world with wonder

You take away the worries

Your God is not mine, my God is not yours.

He's not coming, is he?

Here, wear these. I'll go change as well.

Jai Maa ka Dal, Guruji!

To disguise themselves, people usually put on makeup.

We've taken our makeup off!

Let's go.

Go on, take it. Aren't you hungry?

Eat.

Thank you...

For coming with me.

Come on bro, you're getting unnecessarily emotional.

Can I ask you a question?

How did you change your mind about the mission?

Praveen...

You taught me a lot about the Quran...

And I have studied the Gita deeply.

Eventually, whether cremated or buried...

We all reach the same place.

We're trying to save lives and you're thinking of death.

I...

I used to work in a call center.

Call center? I'm an actor.

Crowds throng to see me perform.

Once I deliver my lines...

Shall I show you?

(lines from The Ramayana)

(lines from The Ramayana)

You can't read the speech off the paper.

I wrote it in Urdu so you can memorize it!

Hafeez would've said it in English.

Abba...

Enjoying heaven's pleasures on Earth?

Want me to show you heaven?

Hide your face!

Bomb in a burqa! What an idea, Abba!

Any news of Hafeez?

No, Abba.

Let it be. No time to lose now.

Come back!

Pick him up!

Pick me up!

There...

That way... Go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

The enemy is here.

We'll destroy them today.

Here for the conference? Yes...

I wanted to support this peace initiative.

Same here. Who wouldn't support world peace?

Would you like some tea?

Diet cola.

My phone isn't getting any network.

You're using a typewriter in the age of the touchscreen.

Time to get you a new phone.

Welcome to the Conference, ma'am.

You can join the others right there.

Please.

Madam...

Please, this way. I will help you.

Alert! Alert! Car spotted. Terrorists running to city.

Yes! Yes!

Drop this stuff.

This is our chance to save the world!

I want to drink the nectar of eternal life

They say - die and go to heaven but I insist on staying alive

You want sunshine? Bring your own sun.

I write my own destiny, don't guide me.

No longer nave, I'm street smart

They say - die and go to heaven but I insist on staying alive

No longer nave, I'm street smart

They say - die and go to heaven but I insist on staying alive

I insist, I insist I will stay alive

I insist, I insist I will stay alive

What now?

We've got to stop Zulfi.

You go that way. I'll check this side.

Will people listen this time?

This time we'll try together.

The rest is in God's hands.

Hafeez... This... Someone else also...

This bomb... I... Good thing we got here -

You made a call, didn't you?

Get out of my way.

You turned out to be an awful actor...

Anyone would catch you.

Let me go! Are you in a hurry?

Yes!

I must have revenge!

Revenge against whom?

Who is our enemy?

Do you know his name? Have you seen his face?

You're just out to kill randomly.

I'll detonate the bomb...

I'll detonate the bomb!

I'll detonate it.

Detonate it.

I'm not kidding... I'll press it!

Who's stopping you? Press it.

Afraid of death?

I'm not afraid! I know you! How can I kill you?

Praveen Chaturvedi... You can't kill anyone.

You couldn't kill a little lamb. How will you kill all these people?

"Your people" are not those behind this mission.

"Your people" is your family. Like little girl who is waiting for you.
