There's much in life

to be happy about

You have reason to be happy. Your

girlfriend didn't break your heart

Your friend didn't betray you.

"Else, you too would've said it too"

"My friend, is a friend no more."

"My love, is my love no more"

"My life, l trust you not"

Nothing can be done.

Our men are besieged

We can't even send them supplies

Why not?

The planes can't reach them

The opening to the valley

is narrow...

and every inch is being held

by the enemy

Give me permission sir.

Let me try

You're a bomber pilot.

This needs a Dakota

No job is too small in times of war.

"Give me the permission, sir."

You're asking for death

Death for myself.

Life for my brother soldiers

"Give me a chance, sir. l promised"

someone l'd do something worthy.

Let me go

l told him he was asking

for death

"He said, it would mean life"

for his brother soldiers

Just what l feared

What a man he was

We regret to inform you that

"your friend, Flt. Lt. Sunder Khanna..."

met his death while

fighting the enemy

This award is presented

posthumously...

"to Flt. Lt. Sunder Khanna,"

35 Squadron...

who risked his life to drop supplies

to soldiers at the front

He gave his life to filfill

his mission

"ln the hour of crisis, he commanded]"

his co-pilot to bail out...

but he battled death as he

continued to drop supplies

Flt. Lt. Khanna has upheld the highest

ideals of the Air Force

"His courage, his spirit of sacrifice"

and his sense of duty

will go down in the annals of the

lndian Air Force in golden letters

For selfless service

to the country...

the Government of lndia presents

this award to Flt. Lt. Khanna

Flt. Lt. Khanna's dear friend

l won't die. l'll come back...

to you... for you

His words still echo in my ears

"l'll return, Radha. l will."

To you... for you

What a man he was.

So full of love

He'd sacrifice his life

for a friend...

and the world

for his beloved

While leaving he entrusted

something to me

His beloved?

You knew?

l told him...

not to misunderstand...

that l didn't love him

"l loved you, Gopal..."

l love you

Tell me the truth.

Don't you love me?

"You do, don't you?"

"Do l write"My beloved"?"

"Do l write"My Beauty"?"

"Or do l say"My sweetheart"?"

l'm at a loss

What should l write?

Let go of my dress!

- Give me my letter

"Let go, l say"

"- First, my letter"

Why?

Aren't you ashamed of reading

someone else's love-letter?

Aren't you ashamed of writing

love-letters?

"Do not be angry"

"when you read my letter"

"For you are my life,"

"you are my very own"

"l could call you the moon,"

"but the moon is flawed"

"l could call the sun,"

"but the sun is not perfect"

"The only thing left to say"

"is that l love you"

"You're as pure as the Ganga,"

"as pristine as the Yamuna"

"You're so close to my heart"

"that you are my very being"

"l fear that l might die"

"waiting for you to be mine"

"Do not be angry"

"when you read my letter"

"For you are my life,"

"you are my very own"

Gopal! My son! My darling!

Come with me.

- What is the matter?

Take your father's blessings

What's happening?

Do it. Pay him your obeisances.

- But what's it about?

"Ask for your father's blessings,"

Mr Magistrate

Magistrate?

- You've become a magistrate

May you live long.

Ask for his blessings

Your son has fulfilled

your wish

"Son, vow that you shall"

always do justice

"l vow, l shall always do justice"

"- First of all, give me justice"

What?

- Get a daughter-in-law for me

As you wish. Have l ever disobeyed

you? Go ahead and do what you want

Then l'll go to her house

to finalise the match right today

"But, who's the girl?"

- As if you don't know?

How would l know? l practise law.

l don't chase girls

Radha

- Who? Radha?

"Oh, well..."

- Why? Don't you like her?

How does that matter? A noose is

"a noose, be it of silk or cotton"

l know everything

"When you read my letter,"

do not be angry

"For you are my life,"

my very own

What are you staring at?

My magistrateo

"That l am, for others. But for you,"

l will always remain the same.

Your willing prisoner

- Prisoner?

My mother will go to see

your mother very soon

Why?

"She'll say, "You have a queen"

"in your house, and l have a slave"

Then the queen will buy this slave

And your mother will take home

a devoted maid

Gopal! Come here

l've been waiting for you.

"- What is it, Ma?"

l nearly went mad with joy

when l heard the news

What news?

- You'll be overjoyed to hear it

Read this. Sunder is alive

God be thanked!

What else could l want?

You've become a magistrate.

l'm getting a daughter-in-law

"And now, God has given me"

Sunder back too

l'm going to the temple.

l must thank The Gods

"l didn't know this, Sunder"

You don't know what a terrible thing

l was about to do

"l was about to betray you,"

usurp your place

"Had it happened, how would l"

have faced you?

What man would've trusted

a friend then?

What man would swear

by friendship then?

"Thank God, you're alive"

"Did you hear, Gopal?"

Sunder is alive!

l'm so happy l can't tell you

How could we have got

married without him?

Our wedding would've

been incomplete

Hurry! lt's time for the train

Get up! Move

l'm not going.

- Why?

lf he doesn't see you with me at

"the station, what will he think?"

That's what l'm wondering. lf he sees

"you with me, what will he say?"

"He'll say, "Congratulations Gopal,"

"Radha is yours"

And what do l say?

"Say, "Meet Radha"

"My Radha"

He's your best friend. He must be

the first to know of our marriage

He should be the last to know.

"ln fact, he shouldn't know at all"

"Who knows what dreams, what desires"

he comes with?

What dreams?

What desires?

Dreams about you

Now my mother will never

go to meet yours

Why not?

"Why not, l ask you?"

- What would Sunder think?

What about what l think?

What will my parents think?

Sunder is my dearest friend

And l am to be sacrificed for

"your friendship... my life, my love"

"First, l am sacrificing"

my own love and my happiness

"And next, l shall ask for yours"

l won't sacrifice myself!

l won't! Do you hear me?

Go away! Go away from here!

May The Lord preserve you!

We received your wire today

lsn't Gopal here? Where is he?

Mr Magistrate! How are you?

"How are you, Sunder?"

- See for yourself. All in one piece

l'm not an easy man to break.

- You've come at the right time

We were so upset.

And look at you now

Stand straight.

- What're you doing?

l'm casting away the evil eye

Do it to Gopal instead. l'm tough.

l'd come back even from death

To meet Gopal.

- Death to your enemies

What are you doing with the papers?

Here's a man back from the dead.

You can't have bigger news

And the dead man is sitting

right in front of you

Come off it

You're still the same

ebullient self

"But you've changed, Gopal."

- What do you mean?

You aren't the Gopal l knew. You don't

even seem happy at that l've returned
