Ram Singh..

Catch them! - Catch them..

Catch them and beat them up!

Catch them and beat them up..

Catch them..

Beat them up..

Catch them..

Sakina.. Run!

Sakina..

'Long years ago,

we made a tryst with destiny'

'Long years ago,

we made a tryst with destiny'

'and now, the time comes when

we shall redeem our pledge'

'not wholly or in full measure,

but very substantially.'

'At the stroke of the midnight hour,

when the world sleeps'

'India will awake

to life and freedom.'

I swear! I have seen many women,

but none were like you.

Do you look at women?

- Hey!

Why shouldn't I?

You are my wife!

I am no wife! Do you want me

as your wife to cook you food?

My love!

I will take care of you

like you are my queen.

You didn't bring me even

a pair of earrings till date

You didn't bring me even

a pair of earrings till date

and you speak of looking

after me like your queen.

Forget earrings.

I will bring you loads of jewels.

What happened, dear?

- Where is Sakina? Hold this.

Let's go from here.

Move quickly.

Sakina.. Come on.

Let's go this way.

Let's go..

Come on..

Come on..

Come on.

Mom..

Mom..

Mom..

Mom..

Fathima..

Get up!

Fathima! Come on!

Fathima!

- Dear!

Please.. Please leave with Sakina.

No. - Get up. - I can't make it.

- Listen to me.

Mom..

- Go..

Mom..

- No.. Fathima.. - Mom!

Fathima, try to get up.

- Mom!

Fathima..

- Mom..

Mom! - Get up!

- Mom!

Let's go..

Let's go.. - Get them!

- Hurry up!

Kill them..

- Kill them..

Come, dear. Come with me.

Dad..

Ishar!

You make me wait for so long!

What did you bring?

I have to wash my hands.

See for yourself.

Are these for me?

Ishar!

Ishar!

- Of course it's for you, love.

Stop it! You are so bad!

Help me wear this.

Wow! Look at this necklace!

Ishar! Bring me earrings.

"Allah.."

"Allah.."

"Allah.."

"A bulbul does not chirp"

"all the time in the garden."

"all the time in the garden."

"Neither is a garden always green."

- Get them.. Kill them..

Kill them!

"A bulbul does not chirp.."

Your veil.. I'll get it for you.

Wait here.

- No, Dad..

No! Dad!

Dad! - "Neither is a garden

always green."

"Nobody stays"

"young forever."

"Neither does one's companionship

last long."

Run.. Let's go..

I got the store open

and got some groceries.

Keep it inside, dear.

Dad, I wonder how long

this will continue for.

Ms. Sakina said two days ago

that things would get horrible

and that they are leaving

this place. - Dad.

and that they are leaving

this place. - Dad.

Shall we also leave from here?

We are going nowhere, dear.

Why are you scared?

Sugra

I have lived all my life

with the people here.

These are good people.

Nothing will happen.

Everything will be fine.

It's a matter of a few days.

Abbas.

Listen, lock the door properly.

Everything will be fine, dear.

Why are you so scared?

Go and make me some tea.

Rab Nawaz,

what are you thinking about?

I was wondering if these are the

humans who were created by God

or are they something else?

At times,

I come before people I know.

I go through a weird state of mind.

Don't think so much. A soldier

must have a strong mind-set.

A person with a strong mind

makes a good soldier.

You are right.

Not to think a lot is a good thing.

But it is something to think about.

There are so many revolutions

happening all at once.

It was India's independence first

and Pakistan's establishment.

Now, it's the war of Kashmir.

Now, it's the war of Kashmir.

Pal, I sometimes think

if we are really fighting

for the religion.

If it is so

I wonder why we don't

fight for the Muslims

in Hyderabad and Junagarh.

There are so many countries

with Muslims.

Why don't they participate

in this war?

I was a part of one military team.

Now they are split into

so many other teams.

There was only Indian

military first.

Now there are Pakistanis too.

I am defending the country

that I have never been a part of.

I could not even settle

down properly

I could not even settle

down properly

and now this is my country.

Rab Nawaz, what did the

Muslim army that came from India..

Scoundrel!

- ...to Pakistan even get there?

Don't you abuse, you dog!

- What did they get here either?

Dog!

- Just a few guns

of the same kind and calibre.

Nothing else.

You are right!

Pal!

The soldiers in 2/9 regiment

were my friends.

I have to sometimes fight

against them in this war.

I forget that I am a soldier

when such a situation arises.

Didn't I tell you not to overthink?

Yes, a soldier must have

a strong mind-set.

Stronger the mind,

better the soldier is.

Stronger the mind,

better the soldier is.

You are right.

- Sir.

Tell me. What happened?

They are shouting abuses.

- Is it? Let's check.

Cowards, we will kill you all.

How long will you hide up there?

You won't live.

- Give me the binoculars.

You will all die.

Leave Kashmir and go away.

Kashmir is ours.

We will kill all of you.

Show yourselves!

Attack them!

My child..

Give them some water to drink.

It's okay.

Oh, God!

How did this happen?

My child!

My child..

We checked everything.

- Greetings.

Move forward!

Rafeeq, what happened?

What happened?

How many of their men are dead?

Many! I think only a few are alive.

Is the base ours now?

- Yes..

Is the base ours now?

- Yes..

Let's go..

Okay, let's go.

- Let's go..

We don't know where aunt..

That happens.. - I couldn't do

anything when he was killed..

They killed my child.

Sakina!

Yes? Did you say something?

My daughter, Sakina..

- No..

Mom!

Come on.

'Even we have done that,

haven't we?'

'We have kept

Muslim women with us..'

'And since we have done that'

'no matter who says it..'

'Whether it is regarding

East Punjab or..'

'Or is it regarding

the interim..'

'This is.. If you

pay me Rs. 1 Lakh'

'This is.. If you

pay me Rs. 1 Lakh'

'I will let you have

custody of all of them.'

'Can the people at

the helm of power do this?'

'And they will indulge in

business of this sort? I say..'

'Such people should

not be tolerated.'

'But I will not

give them a penny!'

They have done

a despicable act!

And if they are ready to

accept responsibility for it'

'they need to

plead before me..'

And they must also

give us their custody..

Dad.

I have got tea for you.

Where is Meshrath?

Make sure that he does not

go out to play.

He seems afraid.

It looks like he has

forgotten how to play lately.

Tell him that he needn't

fear so much.

It's not happening

for the first time.

Yes, but it never got extended

for so many days.

We are not getting

power supply anymore.

We haven't got water in four days.

Dad. Dad.

Why don't we go to Shareefapur

for a few days?

All Muslims in the locality

have left.

Don't entertain such fear

in your mind.

Nothing will happen.

We won't go anywhere.

Living here is better and safer

than living in a camp, dear.

Where will you go?

Go. Find him and explain it to him.

No, send him to me.

I will help him overcome his fear.
