in the world!

Ya.. he was pretty good

He was No.1.. the best in the world.

Now that's a bit too much. No.1 was always

Kapil Dev. (lndian Cricketer)

Number 1 all-rounder. -Who..?

Kapil Dev.. Kapil brother..

number 1 allrounder.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Kapil's nothing in front of lmran Khan!

How would you know? You had

banned TV.

Kapil's records are betterthan lmran in every field.

Records mean nothing. lmran was No.1!

What sh*t are you talking?

Everybody knows that Kapil was a better

all rounder. lsn't that true?

How the hell does it matter

who was number one.

They are both retired now..

aren't they?

What you mean, how does it matter?

Of course it matters..

Cricket is a bloody waste of time man!

their crotches all the time.

See.. even yourfriend doesn't

know about Kapil.

This bugger has no clue about anything!

All he does is body building all day long.

Look ahead.

Kapil Dev is a better player..

Bloody traitor!

Throw this out.

This was one of the most fertile lands

in Afghanistan.

The grapes from here were exported

all overthe world.

Nothing remains today.. its all over!

These guys destroyed everything.

What did they gain from destroying

my beautiful country?

Why blame others? You guys

have been fighting..

..amongst yourselves forthe last 25 years?

Had Pakistan not interfered, Afghanistan

wouldn't look like this today.

Well, Pakistan has also provided shelter..

..to you guys forthe past 20 years.

You have been eating ourfood forfree

and then you talk about war.

We didn't start the war, you did!

Shut up.. and keep driving.

Why should l shut up? lt's a fact?

You started the war?

Now tell me bastard..

who started this war?

Yes.. We Afghans started it ourselves..

Bastard.. talks too much.

Now shut up and keep driving.

Cigarette!

Here goes another American bomber!

That's the 12th since morning.

ljust had a talk with the Colonel.

We've been given strict orders to seal the border.

All of you will have to be alert.

But Sir, our men are still crossing the border.

And who told you that the ones crossing

the border are our men?

Not a single Pakistani is in Afghanistan.

ls that clear?

The Colonel has got the same order

from the High Command.

Make sure this post is ready by evening.

There goes.. our bloody High Command!

Stop here!

Take the keys out and come with me.

You two stay here!

Move.

What the hell is he doing?

He's pissing?

Oh hell.. he'll get us killed!

Get into the car.. fast!

Do any of you know how to drive?

Do you know how to drive or not?

We don't even have a license.

l swear..

Get inside the car!

Why are you taking our passports?

l don't need to answer anything.

Jai Kapoor..

Suhel Khan..

Afterthe recent bombing in Kandahar..

..the American bombers have now started

targeting areas nearJalalabad.

Bastards!

Now that they don't need us,

they're dropping bombs on us..

That too from 30,000 feet above..

Come down and fight, you bastards!

This guy's crazy!

They'll drop a bomb on us!

Where the hell are you headed?

Get back on the road!

This is also a similar route.

lf we get back on the road, the Americans

will bomb us!

Shut up!

Hello, are we going in the right direction?

You said this is the way to Pakistan.

We're going on and on, and we haven't

seen them yet.

ls it dangerous around here?

Khyber is right. You don't know the power

of American technology.

l'm not scared of your Americans!

What's the big deal about them?

l thought the Americans were yours

till yesterday..?

Now he realizes..

The Americans are loyal to no one.

- Shut up.

You chaps seemed very happy

taking money..

..from the Americans to fight the Russians?

Yes we did.. but only to defend our country.

Unlike you guys..

.. who took money from the Americans ..

and then..?

Please! There's no point in fighting like this.

You're sensible. Tell your driverto shut up

and keep driving.

We need to halt forthe night.

This bastard always has a problem!

We can't stop. Keep driving.

My brother.. Please don't start

all over again..

Why don't you just do as you are told?

How can l?

The Americans bomb every car

that moves at night.

And if we escape the Americans,

the Hazara will surely get us.

Now who is this Hazara?

The Hazara Mujahidin control this area.

These guys are the most brutal criminals

in Afghanistan.

ln orderto save bullets they ram a nail

into your head to kill you.

lt's cheaperthat way.

Ya right.. The longest nail should go

into your head!

Who is that?

l don't know! This area shouldn't

have a check post.

Slow the car down.

l can't believe it. He ran away.

Khyber, what a horror story..

He got so scared that he ran away.

But it's a true story. The guys ahead

are actually Hazara.

You are joking.. right? - No.

We were kidnapped by a Talib. And l think

he saw you and ran away.

So.. he must be somewhere around here.

What's he saying?

They are journalists from lndia, and we had

been kidnapped by a Talib.

He ran away upon seeing you.

Correct. He ran away.

Journalists. lndia.

Keep smiling at them.. but l suspect

something is seriously wrong here.

Why are you saying that?

ls this smile fine?

Sh*t!

We have to take them to the commander

Commander..? But these guys

are journalists.

Don't argue. We have to take them.

They say they are the local commander's men.

They want to file your report on the Talib.

- Come.

Not you.. just these two.

They want just the two of you to follow them.

l'll have to stay here.

Suhel.. be careful.

Suhel, pull your jacket down from behind.

-Why?

Do you have to ask ''why'' for everything?

Pull it down, will you? -Why?

Forget it!

What's up?

Move!

They were Hazara gunmen.

They would have looted you..

..driven a nail into your heads, and sold

your car in Pakistan.

Give me a cigarette.

Thanks for saving our lives.

No need to thank me.

l need you alive in orderto reach the border.

You sonofabitch!

What's the difference between you

and these bastards?

You both kill to suit yourselves.

Bastard, you pissed on me.

Now l'll shoot you and leave you

here with these dogs.

But before you die, let's hearfrom you..

who started this war..?

Speak up, you Bastard!

We did! -Who?

Pakistan!

Take his gun away.

Release the lock! -Where is it?

OK. Forget it. Might go off by mistake..

Now let's hearyou, you dog..

..who was the best all rounder..

Kapil or lmran?

Jai, this is no time to fool around.

l'm not fooling around. Tell me bastard!

Kapil Dev or lmran Khan?

Kapil Dev.

l will take this bastard to Kabul and

hand him overto the Americans.

l'll get a reward. - No. We won't

be able to sleep..

..won't be able to pee..

Let's leave him here.

Let's tie him up and leave him here.

Give me your gun.

Go ahead.. do yourthing.

Mind blowing!

How do these Americans reach everywhere?

Look, Taliban.

Do it now at least! - Can l?

Shoot! You horny bastard!

OK. Enough shooting!
