Kisna: The Warrior Poet Page #5

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.

Issue of partition."

Thank god...

On their request you've permission

To go to england.

You've to sign on these papers.

And leave for england as a

family member tonight.

Who did all this?

Katherine beckett.

May I meet katherine?

I got the message to travel to

England with you.

This means that we stay with

Each other forever. Isn't it?

We've happened to love

Each other deeply in this journey.

And now this is an inner truth

Of our life.

We're soul mates and will remain

That way forever.

But the real truth of life is that my

fiance luxmi is waiting for me.

And I've to return to her.

I'm committed to her.

I don't understand.

To reach you here was my duty.

Now I've to fulfill my commitment.

I have to go back to luxmi and

Accept this reality of life.

Sometimes even by letting go

Love reaches greater heights...

In separation too we attain a

Greatness in love.

Love does not only mean

Being together.

Parting is also love.

Don't cry.

Sometimes in life we believe

A comma to be a full stop.

A full stop is only at the

End of life.

Our love hasn't ended, it's begun

With this parting.

Take care of yourself.

I've to stay in my

New born country.

You've to go back to your country.

Lets' depart with pride...

When you smile you look

very beautiful...

Just smile once...

That was my kisna...!

And our kisna too.

Yes, yours too...

I'm kisna's youngest son

Karan singh.

Kisna's no more. He passed away

five years ago.

He fulfilled all his duties

And departed.

And luxmi?

My mother luxmi's still with us.

We're two brothers and a sister.

Would you like to meet her?

Recognize me...?

Your son told me...

It's very nice of you to have

come here...

Perhaps I'm still alive because

I had to meet you.

In 1947, after kisna left you in

Delhi, he came back to marry me.

He fulfilled all my dreams.

We raised a family together.

He kept me happy.

But I got a husband and

Not his love.

He loved you... Katherine.

And I got to know he loved

You immensely...

...When he expressed his

Last wish before his death.

...That his ashes be immersed only

At shivpuri's banks of the ganges...

...The place where the two of you

Took a sacred dip...

...And your souls had felt

A divine unity for the first time.

He'd told me about it one day.

We fulfilled his last wish.

We immersed his ashes there...

He merged in the ganges

Of your love forever.

Remember this flute given

By you...?

Kisna would play the same

Tune in solitude...

He would hum a song seated at the

Banks of devprayag.

I felt jealous then...

But now I'm proud of him.
