The twin towers came down in New York.
And suddenly, the world's attention
turned to Afghanistan.
A country ravaged by war, for 23 years.
the Taliban by their sides..
..the U.S. started bombing Afghanistan.
The Taliban were a group of
religious extremists..
..who had occupied Afghanistan with
Military support from Pakistan.
lt reported that Pakistani soldiers
had also entered Afghanistan..
..to fight alongside the Taliban.
After 9/11, Pakistan deserted the Taliban..
..and the northern alliance Mujahiddeen,
took over Kabul.
A country that had been closed
to the world for long six years..
..suddenly opened up!
Thousands of Journalists went in by
any means possible.
To capture this exciting time,
in the history of Afghanistan.
Among them were Suhel and Jai.
So dude.. Are you enjoying being
a war reporter?
Balls, l'm enjoying this!
lf only we'd listened to our parents..
..should've become a doctor..
or an engineer..
But no.. we had to go and
become journalists!
Why did you have to tell the boss..
..that we would get an interview
with the Taliban.. or die trying..
Now you'll die.. definitely!
Hey, how was l to know that
our lives will really be at risk!
These guys carry guns like
we carry mobile phones..
One of them even had a rocket launcher,
did you see?
Not even 3 days since we got into
this Afghanistan..
..and here we are stuck in this mess.
Who are you guys?
We want to go to Kabul!
Where are you from?
Ah.. lndia. Hindustan. - Oh,
Hindustan!
Amitabh Bachchan.. (lndian Superstar)
Amitabh Bachchan! Yes!
Aamir Khan..Shahrukh Khan..(lndian Actors)
Aamir Khan..Shahrukh Khan.. correct.
Dharmendra..Jeetendra.. (lndian Actors)
Yes..Dharmendra.. Jeetendra..
Does this guy only like men?
Yeah.. That's what l've heard about them.
Kabul? - Kabul?
Hello.. hello.. we need to go to Kabul..
Hello.. bring the vehicle.. understand?
Let's go to Kabul.
Doesn't this place have taxis?
Hotel Kabul.
Looks like a 5 star..
You're gonna get me killed one of these days.
Why did you have to promise the boss..
Stop repeating yourself!
Why not?
You be the hero if you must..
Why are you after my life?
And this bloody Khyber.. he's the one
who got us stuck in this mess..
What did l do?
The first day you met us you said
you would take us to the Taliban..
You guys went on and on about
wanting to meet the Taliban..
Now meet them.
At it, again?
Come on.. Want to exercise?
Come.. Let's go.. l've contacted
some Mujahideen
who have held some Pakistani Taliban.
They've hidden these guys
in the mountains. C'mon..
Will they let us interview them?
Of course! That's why they've
been kept alive..
..for interviews.. in exchange of money.
lf caught alive, a Talib is priceless these days.
How much will they charge?
l was told 200 dollars.
That's a bit too much, man!
But we do need the interview.
Ok, what else will they do for 200 dollars?
l guess they might dance foryou
on the mountain tops!
Let's go..!
Do you think these guys will come?
They should be here anytime.
But they have to be cautious.
This stuff is risky!
No one should know they've got
some Taliban prisoners.
Are these the guys?
Doctor, l can't see a thing!
Doctor, l can't see a thing!
Khyber, ask them how much further?
What? -Ask them how far is this place?
No.. They'll get angry.
Screw them. Why are you so scared?
They won't shoot you for asking.
Mujahid brother.. how far is it?
What happened?
Looks like the Taliban prisoners have run away..
Our Taliban?
You mean the ones we paid for?
-Yes!
Will they refund our money?
l'll ask..
Will they even come back?
Sh*t, this is real bad luck!
What the hell..
Talib..
There go 200 dollars..
The camera.. Are you mad?
You asked them for a refund!
Do you want us killed?
Why shouldn't l?
And You! Why didn't you take a shot?
that we saw a Talib.
What? You need to be alive to
show the proof. And you?
Why didn't you interview him?
You should have asked him.
Where are you running away,
Mr. Taliban?
Who would you like to shoot first?
Me or my mad friend who is shooting you?''
You have lost it! Refund! Refund!
What the hell is that?
The opening shot of our story..
Buzkashi.
Buzkashi is being played first time
in Kabul after 8 years.
The Taliban had banned this sport.
Why?
They said it's too violent!
Those Taliban guys were a riot..
Come. Let's get into the field and shoot.
Be careful. People also get killed in this.
What? You get killed when you go to pee..
..you get killed when you go to play..?
What the hell can you do here?
Suhel, you stay right behind me.
Through the camera l can't judge
their distance from me.
Just warn me, okay?
Come, l am there. - l am there!
Come on.. let's go overthere and shoot!
You want me killed!
- C'mon, lets go!
Suhel, that pack of horses is headed this way.
- Be careful.
Hey guys.. Watch out!
What the hell!
You want to kill me?
l told you guys to be careful! People die in this.
l saw that Talib in the crowd.
You are so sh*t scared that
you are beginning to hallucinate!
You couldn't see the whole army of horses..
..and you saw that bloody Talib?
Jai.. Believe me.. l saw that man.
Screw it. Those horses could have killed me..
l'm leaving this job.
Oh.. lndian Cigarette! -Yes.
Can l have one please?
Thank you.
Hey you Santa Claus..
taken my cigarette..
..now send me the kebabs fast.
l hope everybody here doesn't do this.
Why are you such a scrooge?
lt's just a cigarette!
You know the problem.. l have only
one carton of cigarettes.
Any other brand hurts my throat.
Do l look like a cigarette wending
machine to him?
Khyber.. why do only women beg
on the streets?
They don't have an option.
Almost half the women are widows.
The Taliban stopped all women from working.
They were not allowed to leave home unless
escorted by a male relative.
lf a woman was spotted alone on the streets..
..they would beat her like an animal.
Bastards.
That's why l hate them so much.
Some of them are still hiding around.
lf we catch them, we will beat
them to death. Scoundrels!
Can we please do an interview
before you kill them? Thank you.
General Musharraf has dubbed
the recent public uprisings..
..as a conspiracy by radical groups.
He said that most Pakistani political
groups are unhappy..
..with his decision to help American
in the war against terrorism.
These groups have joined the Afghan refugees..
..to protest against the government..
..but their efforts have been unsuccessful.
See how quickly the Pakistan government
has dumped the Taliban.
They created the Taliban....
and now they say they will help the Americans
in destroying the Taliban.
Bloody liars.. they are killing their
own people.
ln Afghanistan's Kunduz area..
.. more than 50 Taliban have been killed by
the Northern Alliance Mujahidin.
Down with the Taliban! -Allah is great!
President Musharraf is unhappy
