Kisna: The Warrior Poet Page #2

Synopsis: The film is set in the India of the tumultuous 1930's when nationalists fighting for the country's independence rose up as one, urging the British to quit. At this time, a young Indian, Kisna befriends and then shields a British girl Katherine, from an enraged mob of nationalists including Kisna's own uncle and brother. Katherine is the young daughter of a ruthless British collector. Kisna takes it upon himself to escort Katherine to the safety of the British High Commission in New Delhi, who will arrange for her to board a ship home. A tender attraction develops between Kisna and Katherine during the journey, a love story that is torn between 'Karma' (the noble deed) and 'Dharma' (the duty). Laxmi, the Indian girl Kisna is engaged to, forms the third point in an emotional triangle involving the Indo-British romantic pair.

Jaggery... you loved it as a child.

Fine, keep it.

"Do you remember...

"Kisna, what's the song you've

Written?"

"Want to hear it?

- Certainly!"

"We're here, this moment together"

"Don't know what tomorrow holds"

"We may, may not come together"

"We may, may not see forever"

"Nothing survives forever...

But love"

"A love that will always echo...

On this land and the sky above"

I understand you are

Against my child...

He spent an entire day with

That british girl.

Travelled up to devprayag!

Like they're meant for each other.

You are misjudging him.

I've a solution.

Mother, is it true that

My marriage...

Yes, we've fixed it with luxmi.

But I don't want to marry now.

I've to work lots for the school.

Ask your elder brother to

Break our family promise!

No, we've to keep our promise

To our guru...

You've to respect the word

Of elders.

Engagement's day after

Marriage's next month.

Lets' go for training...

Uncle bhairo's waiting for us.

"My dear, I've bought this

Horse for you."

We'll go horse riding

Every evening...

"for me, why?"

Because I love you.

But you're like my uncle!

Like an uncle, not really one.

I'm crazy about you.

I want to marry you.

Kisna's getting engaged

Tomorrow...

...With luxmi.

- With luxmi?

It was such a surprise...

Our guru offered luxmi's

Hand in marriage for kisna.

There couldn't be a better match!

"Lets' get this girl ready on

Her special day."

"Lets' adorn this charming

Girl with jewellery."

"I've been waiting for this

Day all my life..."

"...To be with you, my love."

"As fresh as a flower..."

"This girl is soon to be a bride"

"Her lips look a lovely red"

"My girl's looking exquisite..."

"Like morning sunrays

Through clouds so blue"

"The moment your bridegroom

Will look at you..."

"He'll fall in love with you"

"The most awaited day is here"

"The day when your charming bride

To be is entering our lives"

"I welcome my love..."

"With love"

"I'm crazy about him..."

"I've been counting days

for this day..."

"Joyful be the would-be

Bride and bridegroom."

"My mother was annoyed by

My behaviour."

"I told her that kisna is

My best friend."

"She told me that he's

Luxmi's fiance now..."

"This friendship won't

Be appreciated by anyone..."

...Especially by luxmi.

"My mother explained that

The hatred against the british..."

"...Will remain till we

Don't leave their country."

Make eye contact.

Defend! Yes, now strike back.

Come on...

can we continue tomorrow?

- No excuses!

Can I practice with gaurang?

I dare not raise

My sword upon you.

Damn the poet...

Grow as a warrior now!

"Villagers are dying drinking

Water from the dirty lake."

Five died last week.

We need a revolutionary like

Bhagat singh in our village...

...To take care of that

Ruthless beckett!

I may not be bhagat singh but

I am shankar singh!

"These are five dead bodies."

"Three men, a child and

An old lady."

All died drinking water

from that dirty lake...

...That's given to us as alms!

So, what do I do?

Nothing...

Now, we'll take care of everything.

The people who die because of

That water will be...

...cremated right here on

Your office grounds.

The five villagers died because

You poisoned them...

...But you've made the rebels

Believe it as beckett's doing.

What do you want?

50 Acres of land on my name.

Revolution is not my aim.

It's just my business.

Make beckett understand.

Beckett's gathering evidence

To imprison you.

"A radio announcement was made

On 4th june 1947."

"Lord mountbatten declared

British government's decision..."

"...To give freedom to india

On 15th august 1947."

"The british officers have

To give up their post..."

"...Before 14th august

And return to england."

"Discussions took place on the

Partition of india and pakistan."

"Gandhi appealed to all indians

To observe a prayer for peace."

"May there be peace in space,

Land, waters and the universe..."

"Let peace prevail in the world

And negativities destroyed."

I hope no one is aware of our plan.

Got hold of kisna?

- Searched all over...

"Attacked phunkara despite

Being a younger brother."

"Find kisna and confine him.

I'll join you in some time."

"The commissioner's house

Was on fire! All charred."

You have the answer to the

Question in your eyes.

You're reading the gita

since childhood.

To protect an innocent girl is

Not only revering god...

...But also the foremost duty

Of a man.

My brother?

Be it your brother

Or mine, their act is unjust!

A fight against injustice

Is righteousness.

And this girl deserves justice.

You have my blessings.

Take this girl to a british

cantonment or delhi.

It's my order.

"Mother, where are you?

- Coming..."

Luxmi, I saw them flee together.

He got engaged to you

Under the pressure of his family.

He's eloped with her!

Mother, he didn't even ask you

Before he chose this perilous path.

I don't know what's

Right or wrong...

...But I know that just

One son will survive!

No my son...!

Choose to pray for whomever you

Want to...

This act of kisna will

Ruin all of us.

"Hey nandu, sing your song!"

"Sing a song that touches

My heart."

"Lets' decide whose songs

Are better."

"I'll sing such songs that

You'll have to agree."

"That my songs are better than

Any song can be."

Kisna, the men hunting for you

Inquired about you to me...

I knew you'd be

Here any moment.

We should stay with you for a

couple of days and then move ahead.

No way...!

My orthodox parent-in-laws,

My wife won't welcome you.

They'll throw me out of

Their house.

I've a way out...

We'll stay at your house

And you won't be thrown out.

How's that?

Mother, my husband is

Bringing guests again...

...Now it's his childhood friend

And his wife.

Here they are!

Guests are like gods!

She's so beautiful and fair...

Just like a british!

She is british.

My respects to you.

Touch her feet.

No problem.

She's british, thus ignorant.

Please forgive her...

she'll learn.

She'll learn.

It's a love marriage.

She's the daughter of a british

Officer and he's an indian officer.

As soon as they got the

chance, they got married.

Her father disowned her and

Returned to england.

But she's adapting to hindu ways.

Isn't it?

Yes.

And her name is gangotri!

How long will they stay here?

Two days...

"come, receive blessings from

Her father."

My respects to you.

Touch his feet.

- Give the trunk to me!

Bless you with a happy

Married life!

May god soon bless you

With a son!

Traditional blessings...

They seem tired, show them

Your room.

I'm giving my all... clothes,

Linen, jewellery, my room!

We're used to sleeping

On the terrace! Isn't it?

I thought you're fast asleep.

Mother sent some milk for you.

Why?

Haven't you explained to her

Our customs.

Why don't you explain to her?
