In order for Geeta and

Babita to train well

They needed to practice

with good wrestlers

Omkar?

Him?

Yes

Isn't that to much, brother?

It was bad enough that

you were making the girls wrestle

Now you want

them to fight boys?

Yes or no?

I don't have the heart to say yes

And, I don't have the courage

to say no

Okay, send him over

Because of you both

I'm caught in the crossfiree

Stop complaining!

You are just caught

in the crossfire

We've been pushed into a war

Keep running!

Why has papa got him

to train with us

This pint sized boy is no challenge

He look like a TTSS to me

What does that mean?

Tall on talk, Short on Strength

'TTSS'... is it?

Go easy, I'm your little sister

Ya...ya!

Don't mind me saying

but your girls are a little weak

Want to fight me?

I'll be right back

I don't understand your ways

At one time, I can either be

their coach or their father

When the coach is at work

The father has to take the backseat

Sorry for calling you TTSS

Sorry, my foot

You think this is a joke?

He is throwing you down

and you are letting him?

When he attacks from the left

why don't you stabilize yourself

on the left and defend

Sorry papa

Child, this is wrestling

three sorrys and the game is over

Come on

Where's the strength in you?

You are training the girls to wrestle

I didn't say anything

But I will not allow you to cook

chicken in my kitchen

Try and understand

Wrestlers require protein

I don't care!

If meat is cooked in my kitchen

I will stop eating

You want your girls

to be weak wrestlers?

I don't know anything

There's no way chicken will be

cooked in my kitchen!

Omkar!

- Ya.

Do you know how to cook?

No

We don't have enough money

for their current diet

How can we afford

chicken now?

What? Sell you chicken worth

100 for 20

And I will benefit from this deal?

Why don't you explain

Geeta and Babita will be

famous wrestlers

And when people find out that

they eat chicken from your shop

where do you think

they'll buy chicken from?

That makes sense

But just 20?

There's other shops

How about 40

I won't give any more

than 25

I've browned the onions

This pot will not go

back in my kitchen

Now put the chicken in the pot

And cook slowly

To be eaten with rice

But can also be eaten with bread

Uncle was fulfilling his duty

and the villagers theirs

Girls are best suited

for the kitchen

not for wrestling

Not mad,

He's getting the girls to

wear shorts and fight boys

Since you all started wrestling

your walk has become very manly

Wonder what else will happen?

Next, it'll be my fist

in your face

If only you had

given birth to a boy

Their mother doesn't protest either

The entire village is laughing at us

Who will marry our girls?

I will make our girls so capable

that boys will not choose them

they will choose boys

I'm going to tell papa today,

this wrestling isn't working out

Me too

B-O-Y... boy.

C-A-T... cat.

Papa, this wrestling

isn't working out

for Babita.

Ya, Papa... and

Geeta gets so tired

that she falls asleep in class

She can't concentrate in her studies at all

Babita's body aches terribly

She keeps tossing and turning

all night

Girls tease Geeta

by calling her a man

Sad, isn't it?

None of these

seem like a problem

Tell me if there is

a real problem

Read

Papa, our hair is getting ruined

because of wrestling in the mud

She even has lice

I killed eight this evening

Now, that's a real problem

Okay, be ready tomorrow at 5am

Papa, please

We dont have any problem

In fact, we're enjoying it

Please don't cut our hair

We will do as you say

Ma, say something

Lihat apa yang Papa lakukan.

Please don't cut our hair, papa

We'll do whatever you say

We'll wake up in the morning

Do everything

won't ever complain

Just don't cut our hair, please

Please, papa

Cut it

Cut it?

Bisakah kau menumbuhkannya?

Cut it

Getting them to wrestle

was okay

but it's cruel to chop their hair off!

They are girls, after all

Whatever I'm doing

is for the best

Anything that distracts them

from wrestling

I will get rid of

Is that the full moon or the sun!

I'm confued, today both seem

to have risen together

Let it go, Babita

Our stars are to blame

Enough of wrestling

now, it's time for a street-fight"

And then, in a small village

of Haryana call Balali.

a grand rebellion began

Geeta and Babita

Verses dictator Mahavir Singh.

All of uncle's arsenal

were neutralized one by one

First the alarm clock

What happened, papa?

You are late today

Age is catching up

No problem

We've finished today's training

Come, Babita.

Countless light bulbs were martyred

How come the bulb blows everyday?

Quality... papa

Injury was made an ally.

Surrender was given without a fight.

Should I give it to you?

And uncle, despite having both hands

felt helpless like the armless character

from the film 'Sholay'

Get out of here!

I couldn't understand how

I had suddenly become so strong

But uncle understood very well

why Geeta and Babita become very weak.

Geeta and Babita thought

that they had won the war

Hey

Are you going to Sunita's wedding?

M...Mama..

Are you trying to embarrass me?

Choose one

This one

Let me see

Finally my girls are looking like girls

Don't tell papa

Come home before 8pm

Let it go brother

He is crazy

We missed training

just for a day

What was the need to create

such a big scene

What kind of father forces

his daughters to become wrestlers

Makes them wake up at 5am to run

Works them like slaves

Makes them fight boys

And if they protest

he cuts their hair

May God never give

anyone such a father

I wish God had given me

such a father

At least your father

thinks about you

Otherwise, our reality is

the moment a girl is born

teach her to cook and clean,

make her do

all the household chores

And once she turns 14

marry her off

Get rid of the burden

And hand her over to a man,

... whom she has never met

Make her bear children

and raise them

That's all she's good for.

At least your father

considers you his child

He is fighting against

the whole world

He is silently tolerating

their taunts

Why?

So that the two of you

can have a future... a life

What is he doing wrong?

That day one fact

became clear to me

Don't know about Geeta and Babita

but I sure didn't have

wrestling in my blood

Look at him sulk

Give him some butter, ma

He's become so weak

I lost intentionally to

make you happy

Get lost.... TTSS

Lost intentionally...

Don't worry

Ini hanya diantara kita.

After all, you are family

Your reputation is ours, too

Don't get so cocky

You won't be able to tomorrow

No, uncle. Tomorrow I will

definitely put up a tough fight

We are going

to Rohtak tomorrow

For a competition

But, I am not ready for

a wrestling competition yet

Who is talking about you?

She will fight boys?

She won't last

two minutes, uncle

Why?

She thrashed you

Aren't you a boy?

I had seen a lot of wrestling
