Kisna: The Warrior Poet Page #4

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.

Absolutely!

Now?

How?

Like this... Lets' go ma'am!

Come on, run!

What happened your highness?

Catch them, you idiot!

Should I call a doctor?

Fire...! Looks like your

Aim has gone bad!

Get out from here!

You've the fate of a loser!

You're pointing a gun to

The saving grace of your destiny?!

That too in this state!

Who did this to you?"

Who are you?

Have you heard of

The cuckoo of india...

"...The famous courtesan

Of lucknow, naima begum."

She's the prince's...

Queen of dreams!

I'm her favourite aide.

My name's jumman masum kishti.

Here's a letter for the prince

from naima begum.

What letter?

Idiot! I'll explain!

"Naima begum is performing tonight

At the palace of nawab shaukat."

A celebration to woo

The beauty naima begum.

Here's the letter for him.

The prince isn't keeping well.

Just mention naima begum

And he'll feel better in no time.

But you are...?

Visit any colourful lane of lucknow

And mention my name, jumman.

They'll kiss your hand!

Is that so?

- But wear your pants...

A few rogues still hang

Around!

Here's the letter for the prince.

Okay, I'll deliver this message...

...straight to him.

"It's upto him if he wants

To come!"

Kisna has moved towards faizabad.

I'll skin him alive!

On our way to delhi,

Jumman uncle...!

Don't sweet talk me. Get down!

I did see you getting into my vehicle...

...Escaping from the prince.

I thought I'll sort it out later.

I appreciate... these two

Homeless women... And I...

...Only you can save their lives.

Me?

You're famous for your good deeds.

I've been a rascal all my life...

Where did you hear of my good deeds?

He's charming you!

- Yes, I know!

We charm the gods too

In times of crisis, right?

Charming... Tell me your tale.

If your tale is genuine,

Then I'll help you...

...Or else I'll leave you

On the way to faizabad.

Got it... Your story has

Truth and pain as well.

Please explain to them that

They do exactly as I say.

Firstly, I'll take them to the

servant quarters near the palace."

Then whatever allah wishes.

Make them understand!

We understood jumman.

Eh, you didn't tell me that they

speak hindi too.

I hope I didn't blabber!

Thank god, I didn't swear.

There's a celebration tonight

At the nawab's palace.

I can give you shelter

But there's a problem.

The nawab hates the british and

The rogue raghuraj may arrive!

Only one person can save us...

Naima begum!

No worries, I'll take you safely

To delhi tomorrow morning.

Make sure that the guest-room is

Properly embellished, ruksana.

Jumman... Where have you been?

I have been wondering...

This is saira, elder wife of

Nawab akhtar of azamgadh...

This is their daughter nazima

And their son-in-law aslam.

Guests of naima begum are

very important to us.

Make sure that they're taken care of.

Surely.

Excuse me.

- No problem!

Please introduce us to naima begum!

Wait, I've to check

Her disposition first!

Meanwhile, be at ease.

Why do I hear a falter in

Your voice today?

Well...

I'm aware of every

Nuance of your voice.

Very true!

You want to give them shelter

Under my name? Isn't it?

Yes.

You've nothing to hide,

Instead you should be proud of it.

Actually, they're in deep trouble.

Ali told me the entire story...

I'd like to meet them.

As you wish.

There were a few guests here.

- I don't know.

Welcome...

It's indeed a star studded

Night.

The star has arrived!

Naima begum has been asking

for you.

Here I am... Just for her.

Your eye...?

Don't care for anything...

If naima's there...!

You are...?

She's my new wife husna.

You're fortunate nawab sahib.

- Please come in.

Where have they gone?

They're sitting in the women section.

And he...?

He too... At a special place.

What a mess! Oh god... save me!

Problem naima begum!

They've been seated

In separate sections.

So?

The problem is that

Prince raghuraj is here too!

Only the envious make a celebration

Brighter...

You take care of the lovers...

I'll look after the envious.

"Strange is thou veil..."

"Neither you hide, nor you appear..."

"O my love... This veil

Will not let you see this beauty"

"No veil can hide...

...The sparks of beauty..."

"strange is our tale of love..."

"silence spoke all those words"

"I adore thou passion"

"Thank you"

"I'd like to know your intention"

"Just wish to chant your name!"

"You seem like a stranger to me."

"So far... Yet so close to me...

May you be my destiny"

"You seem like a stranger to me."

"I'm not fortunate to have you...

...Yet you seem to be my destiny"

Your highness...

Win the heart of a woman with

Love, not with a gun!

It's a personal matter, stay out

Of it!

What if I don't?

Interesting! My admirer now

Wants my life?

Kill me, but save yourself first.

Thank you kisna!

He's under my custody and you're free.

My prayers to allah for your safety.

"Please leave. Jumman's waiting

Outside."

Thank you.

There's a limit to

Everything in life.

Don't look at life through

One eye... your highness.

None will dare to stop

Naima's buggy.

Here's some food and water for the

Journey. Lets' leave.

India is a poor country.

But we indians have a big heart!

We survive because of love and

Relationships.

Doesn't matter if we go hungry...!

Hey, why are you crying?

I'll miss you...

My childhood friend.

Don't worry, kisna will take care.

Don't stop, keep moving!

We'll search for your mother

In the morning...

Don't worry, I'll survive.

Don't speak, just sleep.

They're hidden somewhere

In these jungles.

Feels like I'm experiencing

My own death.

Please don't misunderstand.

Do you think I can't perceive?

I dedicated my entire life

To you..."

...And you've betrayed me!

I've not betrayed you.

This is my duty!"

Holding a white girl in your

Arms is your duty!

That's enough!

You're my wife-to-be...

...I expect you to stand by me

Through every ordeal.

I've to ensure that katherine

Reaches delhi safely.

I'm willing to fight

Every battle. It's my duty...

...And my mother's command!

How dare she?!

Pushed you to a perilous

Path without asking me!

I'll turn a widow tomorrow,

Not she!

Saving one girl & making

Another a widow. Is that fair?

I ask you & your mother!

You've lost your mind

In anger.

Yes...!

Assume whatever you want...

...But right now I'm going to

stand by katherine.

Stand by her, die for each other!

We've nothing between us now.

I don't belong to you

Nor you belong to me!

But I leave both of you

With a curse in my heart!!

Luxmi's right...

Please go back to her.

It's my choice!

Don't try to explain to me

What's right or wrong!

Both of you're right.

I'm wrong!"

My decision's to stand by you,

come what may.

Whether I live or die...

This is my decision.

Atleast listen to me.

A bloodstained sword in kisna's

Hands, tables have turned!

You know very well why!

She's the enemy's daughter!
